Why the UK was Wrong to Ban the iPhone "Just the Internet" Ad!
Casey already told us about how an iPhone ad was banned in the UK for "misleading consumers" about providing "just the internet", and based on how many ZOMG! No Flash Vidz! comments we get, I'm going to go out on a limb and say most people probably share the belief that MobileSafari - ( Flash + Java) != the internet.
But allow me to retort. As a long time web (and Flash) developer, however, I'm calling shenanigans on that, and on the UK Advertising Standards Authority. Flash and Java are factually and empirically NOT part of the open, standards based Internet (i.e. HTML, CSS, Javascript/AJAX). Flash and Java, along with things like SilverLight, Real, ActiveX, and a host of other proprietary add-ons are plugins, extensions, and otherwise additions to the Internet -- with all the benefits and drawbacks that go along with that.
Like what? Read on after the break!
Okay, so Flash, Java, et. al. allow for some neat multi-media effects and interactivity (though HTML 5 and CSS are catching up), and some measure of portability (though never as much as they claim), but they bring in additional security and cross-platform problems as well.
The web is supposed to be a structured container (CSS) through which content flows (HTML), which is why MobileSafari can subtly reformat font sizes, line wraps, and other elements to suit the smaller screen and multi-touch interface. As an open standard, Apple can also integrate their own containers and attributes to, for example, define the screen size for rendering.
Flash? Kinda sorta sometimes if the developer puts the effort in. Being proprietary (even "open" proprietary), however, Apple can't exactly make changes to the source to, you know, make a version that's not as bloated and greedy as Adobe has long allowed the Mac OS X version of Flash to remain. To prove that point, Apple has significantly developed the plugin they do own, Quicktime, creating Quicktime X to better fit their mobile vision of the future.
All this to say that there are several very good reasons why the iPhone doesn't support Flash, Java, and the other plugins. They may be reasons that can eventually be overcome with newer/better technology, or reasons some people may even disagree with, but for the UK to randomly pick those two plugins as being "the internet" just because they happen to be ubiquitous (compared the aforementioned Silverlight, for example) is as capricious as it is wrong headed.
Apple, as they themselves rightly point out, is delivering the full standards-based Internet to the iPhone. Any site coded to conform to those standards will work just fine on the iPhone. Any site deviating, or depending on plugin extensions won't (as anyone whose ever tried to get a secure installation to "just add this Java widget" or "just download this ActiveX control" to enable some web conferencing or like utility will all too readily tell you).
Bottom-line, the UK is showing ignorance of the real web. Sure, I wants my vidz as much as the next Viddler, but I understand the issues behind these technologies, which is something the Advertising Standards Authority might want to do before banning commercials, right?

Why the UK was Wrong to Ban the iPhone "Just the Internet" Ad!
Excellent. Agreed +1 dugg etc etc.
Flash is an important piece of the internet but I totally agree, the iPhone didn't go with it probably due to working with simplest version first. How many times does Flash hog up memory anyways? I could only imagine how bad it could be on the iPhone.
Regardless, I think Apple should be thinking of this as a feature upgrade regardless. It wasn't in Version 1 or 2 and I get that but not putting it in Version 3,4,5 wouldn't be addressing the marketplace and holding high regard for the Flash Player.
Put yourselves in there shoes, they didn't get H264 support from Macromedia till Flash 9.
Something being wrongly interpreted by a UK court/agency doesn't make it right. That's why decisions get reversed and both precedents and laws get struck down.
Using this logic, IE 6 is the de facto Internet standard, then, which means the iPhone needs to enable Flash, Java, ActiveX, Silverlight, AND go back and gut their CSS engine to completely sod up the box model while removing proper support for PNG and any number of "standards based" containers and attributes.
Great job, that!
Only if you go to retarded-ly over bloated websites (like a teenagers Facebook page). That should be discouraged, which makes MobileSafari's behavior pretty good. (And there's no such thing as distorted text fields in the accessible web standard...)
I actually posted on another blog a while ago, that Apple won't be able to claim to give access to the whole web for very long without supporting Flash. I must have had a hazy idea that that was in fact a claim made at some point by Apple, or else it's a coincidence.
In defense of the UK decision, any public agency is meant to look after the public, many of whom don't know anything. So, while this or that might not be technically part of the basic internet, the public isn't expected or required to know that at all in making their decisions to spend money based on advertising. And in many ways, I concur that the sentiment expressed by indicating that the iPhone gives access to "the internet" (understood in its totality as it would be potentially understood by the generic consumer, possibly with no college degree or high school diploma) is a misleading sentiment. As someone who frequents the big tech websites, I know how much Flash has replaced Youtube as the means for linking and posting videos, because of its enhanced feature set. It used to be Youtube 100% of the time; now it seems like it's Flash maybe 75% of the time.
If Apple had not made that claim, but said "the mobile internet" or something along those lines, or not even mentioned it as a selling point in the advertisement, they wouldn't be in this situation.
I'm not saying I'm a big fan of the UK government. But as long as the iPhone doesn't support some version of Flash, it does not access all of the things that people believe are part of the internet. All of the Myspace pages post audio and video content in a Flash player. None of that is accessible from the iPhone. People have come to expect that kind of thing, and if they are led to believe in an ad that they can access those services but they can't, they're going to complain. The UK is saying that because it is apparent that the ad is already misleading, and could serve as the basis for a justifiable complaint by a British consumer, it is appropriate to pull the ad as soon as possible.
Since when did any government use understanding of technology as the basis for decisions about technology, anyway?
Also, it might be worth checking to see how the UK government services websites, BBC, etc. are constructed. It may be, for instance, that BBC is obligated to post video and audio content available for the public, and has done so using certain advanced internet protocols. That will reveal the UK's bias in making determinations about what enables someone to claim that a device can access the internet or not. I mean, you can make an FTP terminal and say off hand that "accesses the internet" to transfer data, and everyone will know what you mean. But that doesn't mean you can say it on TV. Apparently.
Er.. YouTube pioneered Flash Video. Until the iPhone and Apple TV, YouTube was 100% Flash video, cr@ppy codecs and all. That there are now other Flash-based video services doesn't really mean too much in that regard.
Likewise, the bar has to stop being set so low people can stumble over it. If enough people (choose to) misunderstand something, it doesn't make it true. For example, jaywalkers can still get ticketed ;)
Besides, the UK is a particularly savvy market. I remember an award-winning campaign there: "People don't buy insurance, they buy white sofas"
Yes, didn't the BBC flash player use Microsoft DRM which made it incompatible with Mac OS X for a while? Does that mean the iPhone would need to support PlaysForSure (now PlaysNoMore, of course) to be "the internet"?
Slippery slope...
You guys are making too big a deal of this. Listen. In the U.S., what the government would do would be jack. Then someone would sue, and then there would be a class action law suit. And then some judge would say, Apple has to make the iPhone compliant with the claim to access "the internet" and/or pay up lots of money, most of which will go to lawyers. Even if the lawsuit failed, tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars would go to some lawyers.
The UK is saying, just don't advterise the phone in that way, which is in fact misleading, and advertise it in another way such that you will not be liable for having mislead someone who doesn't know and doesn't care what a software developer or programmer thinks is "the internet," and who isn't required to know that to make a justifiable claim.
Which is the better way of handling the situation?
That is the single most awesome compound example of a question begging a Hobson's choice I've seen yet. +! :)
I choose neither. "You're complaining about this ad based on what again? Sorry, Flash and Java are extensions to the Internet, not "just the Internet". Move along..."
What's next, banning Tide because there's nothing whiter than white?
Don't let them act as if consumers are stupider than we are, lest we become so.
I don't understand your objection to my argument. People are gullible. That is in fact the entire basis of advertising. A person doesn't have to prove that they SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT HAVE BELIEVED that they could access their favorite artists on Myspace on the basis of the Apple ad. They just have to claim that they were MADE TO BELIEVE THAT by the ad, and to show that the ad did in fact present information in a way that contributed to their misunderstanding. This has nothing to do with real people and what is really the internet or not. It has to do with how the UK sets up its laws in distributing the responsibility for a misunderstanding in a dispute of this kind. In this case, the customer BEARS NO RESPONSIBILITY for the things you're talking about. It doesn't matter what you or I think about what a person SHOULD believe.
"Don't let them act as if..." What? They are a sovereign nation. They can act as if they want to. It's just obvious that this is an action that will potentially save Apple time, money, and court costs, at no loss whatsoever except to edit their existing ad in some minor way. If it is in fact true that Apple is opening themselves up to liability in the UK over making some unnecessary claim, then it is in Apple's benefit to know in advance that they are better off running a different ad. They're not shutting down Apple stores and confiscating iPhones for not accessing Myspace or anything.
This is my big question. What is the big deal here? If you like Apple, you should be glad they're not going to run afoul of the UK system over some stupid claim about what the iPhone can do. They could say it gets information from the internet, or it shows you information on the internet, and they would probably be fine. If you hate Apple, then you're probably not reading and posting on this blog. So, who the hell cares if the wording needs to be slightly different on an ad that they can change right now?
Haha, I like that Tide example! What about the Jolly Green Giant. That ad is misleading because there is no real giant. Are people really stupid enough to where they need everything spelled out for them by law? No. The ad did not specifically say they offer everything available on the Internet.
Yup, I pretty much fundamentally disagree with your argument, and I've already stated the reasons as to why, so no worries. Disagreement is how we learn.
It's is in Apple's benefit to stand up for their right to present factual information without censorship, and if we don't defend their right, who'll be around to defend our rights when we're the ones who get trampled?
Overly dramatic? Sadly, history has proven it not so. Erosion is a slow and dangerous process. Apple is correct here. The UK is wrong. Not stating that "because it's no big deal" is even more wrong.
I guess we have to agree to disagree.
Correct. Infantilize people and they will increasingly act like infants.
Did the UK ban Microsoft's "People ready business" because it's meaningless? Is ING's "Unmortgage" confusing because people could expect not to have to pay it back?
Bad enough Red Bull has to disclose it doesn't really give you cartoon wings...
I'm not trying to single you out in particular. I know that this story is all over the internets, and you're providing some commentary on this backdrop. And I can appreciate that you're an idealist in this matter. But, I can assure you that Apple will not act idealistically in this regard. Instead, they will act like any large U.S. corporation when it runs up against UK and EU laws: they'll cut their losses, comply with the decision, and sell a lot of iPhones. If you feel so strongly about it, Apple is the one that has to make the next move anyway. You can contact Apple and encourage them to fight the UK decision in UK court instead of changing two words in their ad if you think that's what Apple should do.
1) The internet != The World Wide Web. What about FTP/NTP/IM/POP/P2P/etc/etc? I have no idea whether the iphone supports these, but the advert seems to think so!
2) If an advert tells me that the iphone gives me "the internet on my phone", then I would expect to log onto the BBC website and watch the news bulletin. Especially when the ability to watch youtube vidoes has been advertised so much (what, you expect people to realise that youtube is a "special case" and all other web video will not work?)
It's a misleading advert.
The people who are targeted by the ad in question are not interested in what is technically classed as the internet. They want to browse their favorite sites without large parts of them missing. I'm still supprised how many people say to me "I'll buy one when they have added flash". I know Apple have sold lots of iPhones and iPod Touch but I think they would double that with Flash support. Murph
1) That's an excellent point, and if they'd found the add misleading for not including FTP or some other protocol beyond web and mail without specifying only web and mail, then personally I would have little to argue about. That they didn't cite FTP, etc., but chose Flash and Java, shows it was a wrong-headed decision. ("Oh, the public understands they can't IM, but sod it all, we wants our vidz!")
2) When the BBC uses Microsoft DRM that won't work on the Mac, does that mean the Mac can't say it supports the Web, or is it the Beeb that doesn't support it? Likewise, the iPhone will play any compatible Quicktime video as well as "YouTube". It's a question of format only, not whether or not it can play video (which is clearly can). Demanding support for other companies proprietary extensions is again a slippery slope.
The ASA are right.
Its a bit like selling you a a round the world plane ticket with the advert "Buy a ticket from our airline and visit the entire world" and then giving you a ticket that allowed you to fly around europe.
A ticket around europe is good... but it not an around the world ticket!
The Iphone Internet Experiance is good... but it's not the full Internet Experiance .
About time Apple got pulled up for exaggerating. They've been doing it all day, sir!
I don't often respond on blogs until now! I've added you to my reader, thanks :)

Jose Ernesto Sosa is leaving Napoli after securing a deal with Ukrainians Metalist Kharkiv.
The midfielder had little room in the squad last season and was no longer required after the arrival of Gokhan Inler this summer.
"Sosa's destination depends on Napoli," agent Favio Bilardo told Goal.com.
"The club received an offer from Metalist and from Estudiantes for a permanent transfer. He wants to play and there's no space for him at Napoli."
Late Friday night, Estudiantes confirmed they had failed in their attempts to sign the 26-year-old Argentine.
Sosa will join Metalist, who already have a large selection of Argentine players.

Updated at: 04/17/2013 8:35 AM
(AP) ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The world's No. 1-rated female boxer is leaving the sport and will focus on a mixed martial arts career.
Holly Holm announced Tuesday that she will dedicate herself to an MMA career after her last scheduled boxing match May 11 against Mary McGee.
The 31-year-old Albuquerque boxer is focusing on MMA just as the sport is beginning to embrace female fighters. In February, Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche made history by fighting in UFC's first women's bout.
"I sleep good at night knowing that I've challenged myself over my career rather than just take what's supposed to be easy," Holm said at a news conference. ". I feel like my passion's just going to MMA."
Holm is an 18-time, three-division world champion in boxing and has a 32-2-3 boxing record. She is 3-0 in MMA bouts.
The popular boxer trains at Albuquerque's Jackson Mixed Martial Arts, a gym that has sent a number of fighters to UFC.

Created: 03/01/2013 11:26 AM KSTP.com By: Aaron Chalich
As a kid I watched a lot of cartoons and one of my favorite cartoons to watch was "Tom and Jerry" because usually in the middle of the show, you would get a Tex Avery cartoon and I couldn't get enough of them.
Tex Avery's cartoons were hilarious and were so different than any other cartoon I had seen. They were silly and there were so many different ones. "Droopy" was a very popular character and he had many episodes that featured him. I thought that "Droopy" cartoons were okay, but the other cartoons that Tex did were brilliant in my opinion.
In 1997 DiC Entertainment produced a show called "The Wacky World of Tex Avery" and it only aired for two seasons.
Mill Creek Entertainment just released "The Wacky World of Tex Avery: Volume One on DVD and I just finished watching my review copy.
This is the first season and contains 40 episodes and is close to 15 hours long and is on four DVD's. There is also a bonus episode of "Bump in the Night which is a strange Claymation program.
Each episode features three different cartoons that are hilarious and will have you laughing out loud in no time. There are many different characters that are great and silly. The main character is Tex Avery and he is usually shown riding on a goat.
I really enjoyed this set, because it did remind me of the old Tex Avery cartoons and how silly and goofy they were. I also really liked how you never knew what to expect. In one episode there are cowboys chasing another cowboy on horses. The horse is shot and drug through a cactus and he has finally had enough so he throws the cowboy off his back and looks into the camera and says that they are going to do the cartoon differently. The cartoon goes black and there is a countdown and then the cartoon restarts again. This time the people are the horses and the horses are the people if that makes sense. The episodes are filled with crazy things like that I loved it.
The animation is great and very well drawn. The writing for each cartoon is clever and witty.
I really thought that Mill Creek Entertainment's "The Wacky World of Tex Avery: Volume One is amazing. It is silly and very well written. I just could not stop laughing, because of the humor. I know that this is a must have for people who are looking for something hilarious to watch or is a fan of Tex Avery like I am.

Golf World
Newsmakers Of The Year
No. 9: Jordan Spieth
Lacking neither confidence nor grace, 20-year-old Jordan Spieth is a young head with an old soul. Surrounded by the victorious U.S. Presidents Cup side on the 18th green at Muirfield Village, having grown from generational curiosity to blooded teammate, the whole of his extraordinary first year as a professional golfer exceeded the sum of its parts. Sitting at the same green, one of golf's good guys, Adam Scott, talked about how pleased he was U.S. captain Fred Couples had chosen Spieth. "He could take a lot out of this," said the Masters champion, "and win majors very soon."
Looking for the next of whatever it was you had last, whether the next Jack Nicklaus or the next Tiger Woods or even the next Rory McIlroy, is a fool's errand rarely serving anyone on either end of the conversation. Spieth's rookie year wasn't close to being the best ever, but it was a damn fine one, every step up incrementally more uncommon than what preceded it. Off the course the word universally chosen by his peers to describe him was "mature." On the course he could be imprudently aggressive and impatient. And a lethal closer.
In the era of the blowout, along comes a young guy with a finishing kick the likes of which golf isn't often granted the privilege of watching. Lulled by the domination of a Woods or a McIlroy obliterating their opposition by eight or 10 or 12 shots, Phil Mickelson provided the most recent reminder of the electric shock a back-nine charge on Sunday can deliver when he won the British Open at Muirfield. Whether it's making five birdies in the last six holes, including a holed-out bunker shot to get into a playoff and eventually win the John Deere Classic; or shooting 31 on the back nine, plus a 30-footer for par on the first playoff hole at the Wyndham Championship; or closing with three birdies and an eagle for 62 in the final round of the Deutsche Bank Championship that made it nearly impossible for Couples to overlook him; or going on a seven-birdie-in-10-hole binge in the final round of the Tour Championship at East Lake GC, Spieth is blessed with the rare gift of closing speed. "I don't know what it is, to be honest," he says of that extra gear. "I just believe it's going to happen. Whenever the heat's on, my whole life, I've just kind of learned to focus a little more."
Related: Think Young Play Hard: Jordan Spieth
Harris English, who played on a Walker Cup team with Spieth, was paired with him and Mickelson on Sunday at the Deutsche Bank. "He's got that 'it' factor," says English. "He just gets the job done." On Wednesday of the Tour Championship, Spieth held Steve Stricker's coat while the part-time Cheesehead pro from Madison mopped up East Lake with Mickelson and Dustin Johnson, making seven birdies and an eagle in one of Phil's more expensive early week games. "Jordan is welcome back in the game. Stricker is not," said Phil, only half in jest. Growing slightly more serious, the five-time major champion added, "The thing I like about Jordan's game is he hits all the shots. He's not one-dimensional by any means. He hits cuts. He hits draws. He brings it in low. He shapes the ball into pins. He has the ability to go really low. To see a guy at 20 years old hitting all the shots, it's only going to get more refined."
Jimmy Johnson, Stricker's longtime caddie, played at the same course where Spieth learned the game, Brookhaven CC, in Dallas. "He doesn't like to lose," says Johnson. "That's about the biggest compliment I can give him -- he just doesn't like to lose."
Brookhaven, with its let-kids-be-kids-not-stars-in-training culture, has proven fertile ground for tour players. Andrew Magee, Brian Watts and Scott Verplank all percolated up through the Texas soil there. It was the place where Spieth dug his game out of the mud, literally. Joey Anders became an assistant professional at Brookhaven about the same time Spieth began hanging out there at age 8. "The only way I knew Jordan from anyone else was we had a junior camp and he had a Michael Jordan hat on, so it was real easy to remember his name," says Anders. The practice bunker, Anders says, was "a little mud pit to a downhill artificial turf green. When he was probably 11 years old, he was working hard as he could to try to figure out how to spin this thing out of mud to a downhill green as hard as concrete. Nobody in their right mind would even try the shot. I don't know that he ever got it down, but when I saw him in the [U.S.] Junior Amateur, he flew it over the green into a bunker to a tight pin, downhill lie, and he stuck it."
Spieth didn't get much more instruction at Brookhaven than occasional walk-by advice on the practice ground. His game grew organically. "He won everything," says Anders of the competitions he'd throw together for the juniors. "Yeah, his grip was funny and he was very upright, but he was winning. I think it's way more important to learn how to win and enjoy yourself and have confidence in yourself. I just don't want to have a kid at that age looking behind him instead of in front of him. I don't want him looking at his backswing, I want him looking at his target."
Related: Jordan Spieth's gamble on himself
Just before Spieth's 13th birthday, he and his father, Shawn, decided it was time for something a bit more formal. If he was fortunate to have begun at a place where kids push one another like it was playground basketball, he was equally fortunate to find Cameron McCormick at nearby Brook Hollow GC, one of George W. Bush's hangouts. McCormick, 40, is a transplanted Australian who came to America to play college golf, getting a foot in the door at Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kan., before transferring to Texas Tech. After graduation McCormick returned to Australia to try to play but didn't have much luck. He gave the mini-tours a whirl in Florida and quickly ran out of money. Having majored in international business, he was about to set golf aside for commerce when he got an assistant's job at The Lakes at Castle Hills outside Dallas, then another post at Dallas CC and, finally, a teaching spot at Brook Hollow, where the Spieths found him.
"I had a big loop in my swing, a very weak grip, misaligned, shoulders open and hit kind of push draws," says Spieth. The same push draw had produced a 62 the summer he was 12. "I went to Cam, and he asked me what my goals were. I said I want to be the best player in the world someday. He said, 'OK, then we're going to have to make some changes, and it's going to be difficult. It's probably going to take a little while and you may not play your best golf for a while.' I just went to the range, and I'd hit bags of balls, a bunch of 7-irons, and they wouldn't go higher than this off the ground," says Spieth, holding his arm out at his side.

COLUMBIA CITY — After celebrating the successful first half of Eagle Tech Academy's (ETA) inaugural year, students displayed their projects and answered questions to visitors at an open house Tuesday. The open house was held from 10 a.m. to noon.
Joe Urschel, an English teacher at ETA, said rather than simply imparting knowledge to students, the teachers design the framework, allowing students to be involved, working as collaborative groups.
"It's like a pinball machine where each kid is the ball, and my job is to rocket them around these different areas, this field of knowledge," said Urschel.
One of the larger projects ETA students recently completed involved work on ancestry and immigrants.
Originally, the students were supposed to interview someone in the community, but since they could not find enough, many students turned to Brooklyn International High School.
"That's kind of what made the project so big and so awesome because we were learning about different people outside our own state who have been outside our own country," said 14-year-old student Kyle Scher.
Phil Stanczak, a U.S. History teacher at Eagle Tech, said the school regards the process to a final project with as much importance as the finished product. Stanczak said this attention to the process prepares the students for college.
He also said people often have many questions about ETA so they decided to hold an open house to allow current students to talk with parents.
"It's basically a chance to walk through the facility. To ask questions and look at the projects," said Stanczak.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Unmanned aircraft would be limited on Louisiana private property if lawmakers agree to a bill that won the support of a Senate judiciary committee Tuesday.
The bill by Sen. Dan Claitor, R-Baton Rouge, passed without objection on the panel but over the opposition of the Louisiana Press Association, which said it would restrict news coverage.
Claitor's proposal would make it illegal to use drones to photograph people on private property without their permission, with exceptions including law enforcement.
Claitor said his bill would hold technological advancements in check and protect privacy, keeping people and government from snooping in backyards without cause.
"If they don't have probable cause or a search warrant, they shouldn't be able to do it," Claitor said.
The measure goes to the full Senate for consideration. It was modeled on a similar measure in Texas.
Claitor's proposal would prohibit the use of unmanned aircraft to conduct surveillance on a person or private property and the possession or distribution of an image captured through such surveillance. That includes photos, sounds or other information recorded by a drone.
Cassie Hughes, a lobbyist for the Louisiana Press Association, raised concerns that several newspapers in the state have drones and would be restricted from covering crime scenes and natural disasters because of the limitations posed by Claitor's bill.
For example, she said, trying to document the flood damage of a massive storm like Hurricane Katrina would be limited, because a newspaper would need approval from each individual property owner to use a drone to photograph damage in a neighborhood.
Sen. Robert Adley, R-Benton, agreed that the bill would restrict media access, and he said he didn't support that outcome.
"I want my privacy, but when a news event occurs, the public wants to see it," he said.
But he also said he doesn't know how to rewrite the proposal to protect media access.
"I think we can find some common ground here, but I'm not going to give up on people's right to privacy," Claitor said.
The measure includes a list of exceptions, including for the military, mapping purposes and maintenance of utility services. Law enforcement agencies could use drones if they have a search warrant, are documenting a crime scene or are searching for a missing person.
Violators could be fined for using drones and possessing surveillance material captured by them. Distributing the material could carry a prison sentence of up to six months.
A day earlier, the Senate voted 35-1 to prohibit drones from flying over chemical plants, water treatment systems, telecommunications networks and other items considered "critical infrastructure" in Louisiana.
That more limited proposal, by Sen. Mack "Bodi" White, R-Baton Rouge, heads next to the House for consideration. It includes exemptions for government officials and property owners.
Senate Bills 330 and 356 can be found at www.legis.la.gov

Hey all.
I'm currently a sophomore in college, and am currently a journalism and anthropology double major. However, i've currently been thinking about dropping journalism and going to grad school to be a professor in anthropology. I really wouldnt be losing anything at al credit-wise should I drop journalism.
Some people ive talked to said this seems like a decent idea. But one of my friends sad that I should stay with the double major, in case anything happens where i dont go to grad school for anthropology, ill at least have a bachelors in journalism to fall back on (as a bachelors in anthropology is kind of useless)
Anyway, i'm just trying to find as my opinions as possible. Thanks for listening.

Soaps Boards :: Days of Our Lives Forum :: Sami/Jen/Abby confrontation. Kudos to Jen
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
Quote flightygirl: I thought we were not supposed to bash actors and yet people find it OK to bash AS all the time. I don't understand?
I know you are right this should be closed! They are all talented actors and entertain us every week.. day in and day out! Kudos to the Days Cast including AS, JS & KM!!
Kudos to Jen that was a true mom. Though angry and shocked she pull herself together and realized all that happen to her daughter and she didn't know. Sami has usual thinks of herself first and remembers her children later. Has for Jen hugging her daughter which mom isn't in denial when it comes to their kids very realistic reaction from Jen. And Sami already ripped into Abby why should Jen turn around an join in. Am no fan of Jen's but those scenes were well done. I like Sami but her character lately is over the top and a total turn off. Who is she to talk about Abby with her past I was rolling my eyes the whole time with the way she got on. Jen should have thrown her out physically she was just annoying
Quote sharon n nick 4eva:
Quote dazgonby: Oh Jen was great...the first thing she did was blame Ej... way to go!
Jennifer Blaming EJ was no surprise to me either.
Jennifer found out how much of a tramp her daughter is.
Loved it!
sharon n nick 4eva, Why are you so hateful? It looks like this is personal to you. You bash Abby in every thread. Wake up. It's a soap.
Quote Magic66: I think AS is a great Actress.There are times when
Sami is too over the top in the wrong roles and Especially
EJami.AS was perfect today the way she handled Abby.One EJ fan stated that its hard to watch EJ in that pairing.Sometimes I think JS should have had something in his
contact about that when it comes to the EJami pairing because
Sami makes him hard to watch for the EJ fans which isn't fair.
Are you really saying that JS should have insisted his contract specify that he shouldn't look "hard to watch" in scenes with AS? I don't think TPTB would ever agree to such a self-serving demand by a Soap actor. And I doubt they worry about being "fair" to that actors' fans.
Quote flightygirl: I thought we were not supposed to bash actors and yet people find it OK to bash AS all the time. I don't understand?
Of course, negative remarks are both inappropriate and misdirected if we BASH an actor's ability or personal life. But surely most of us know that if we BASH a character, we are criticizing the writers' script and the director's instructions for each scene. (Yes, there have been times when a poster will attack an actor for his or her personal decisions, such as choosing NOT to renew a contract. THAT is mean-spirited.)
I don't think we're "bashing" A. Sweeney. I admit, I'm influenced by the fact that I'm a huge Ejabby fan but honestly, when another poster said AS's acting was in her opinion, Emmy worthy, I just diagree. Sami's best moments are always with her children and Caroline. Then, she is dynamite. But while giving Abby her supposed comeuppance, I found her acting to be brittle and over the top. Someone like Kate would've never yelled but been lethal with her words. Sami just yells and screams and makes me dislike her character even more. Abby was big-time in the wrong and knows it! She feels horrible, has for a long while.
Quote JeanLou: I don't think we're "bashing" A. Sweeney.

She feels horrible, has for a long while.
And sidenote, it was the one time I was on Jen's side and thought Missy did a fab job in that scene. Of course, she's gonna support her daughter! Even if she's appalled by her actions. I would've shown Sami the door a bit more forcefully myself!!!
We are all crazy Days fans who love our favorites!!
Sami's character is very different from Kate's. She was true to her character and the acting was great. Do I agree with her actions? No. I don't like vengeful people.
I think Abby should be proud that she bedded such a powerful and attractive man, no shame in that. Everyone will envy her. She was attracted to him and could not resist. If Sami posts Abby's photos with EJ, she will humiliate herself. Abby, be proud and hold your head high.
Quote fadingrose:
Quote stjarna: Kudos to Jen, for what? For very bad upbringing and enabling her daughter's behaviour! hugging her- for what Instead of seriously sitting down and talking to her! There was already the whole mess with Austin, and now- it should be alarming to Jen that there is something emotionally very wrong with her daughter.
But, I guess, it's ok...everyone else can get trashed- but Abigail will come out as if nothing has actually happened!
Because they are the mighty Horton, and this indiscretion should just be shoved under the carpet...because it is the sweet, innocent, naive little Abi, who by the way wanted to continue being EJ's bit on the side...
The same woman, who feels so sorry for the kids, but it didn't bother her to ruin everything for those kids... she knows who Samantha Brady is, who the DiMera's are...she had already had a thing with the badboy Chad....
And what I find worse, it is that she is great at keeping up appearances, but did she think for one second about Samantha...if she such a good person, then why did she do it to another woman... she certainly wouldn't want someone to do that to her if she had a fiance...
How would Abigail feel if, for example, Chad was her fiance, and he had an affair with another woman.... then she would be accusing that woman and be so high and mighty!
AS acting- just fine!
Jen should have confronted Abigail straight away!
1. Re: JEN.. I'm no fan of the current Jen, but I hardly think her children have been the recipients of "bad upbringing." They've both made mistakes, as all kids do, and perhaps their mom was naïve enough to think they should be forgiven. If that's "enabling," so be it--but most loving parents are guilty of that to some extent. Now Abby's "mistake" is HUGE, but what would most mother so--be shocked and unbelieving at first, and then comfort her daughter's obvious distress with a shoulder to cry on. There's time for Jen to decide how to counsel Abby tomorrow or the next day. Now both of them are too irrational to tackle the fallout. I also believe that Abby should have told Jen what was going on, right from the beginning
2. Re: ABBY. She has displayed enough doubts and regrets about what she's done, and I'm sure some of them involve guilt about what's she done to Sami and how it might affect her children. However, in the heat of passion--to paraphrase one of Caroline's wise observations-- "The heart [and the body] knows what it wants" and goes after it.
By the way, right now I am neither an EJAMI nor EJabby fan. In fact, I have disliked the entire saga for months.
These were also my thoughts. I would not be proud of what my daughter did, but at that moment she needed her mom to comfort her. You may not always like your child but you never stop loving them and you hate to see them hurt. I would have been disappoited in the writers if they had done it any differently.
Where is there actor bashing?
Quote ScrubsAlltheWay: Where is there actor bashing?
I said Alison's acting was awful. If we can go on and on about someone's acting deserving an Emmy I should be able to counteract that by saying the acting is over the top.
I have always thought AS was at the bottom of the acting ladder when it comes to Days. I put AZ, ED, even KM before her.
I have enjoyed AS in revenge mode when she isn't on a rampage. It's when she's subtle that her acting is most effective. I thought Sami hovering over Abby and hollering on Friday was scene chewery.
And I never said Abigail or Jen's parenting was perfect. I said Jen being there for her child should be expected.
That is actor bashing!! AS is a wonderful actress and that is your opinion and this thread should be Closed!!

Who is Carl DeMaio?
In response to "DeMaio's Phony New Persona" ["Editorial," Oct. 3]: I'm probably one of the few San Diegans who enjoy watching the City Council meetings from time to time on TV—whenever I come across this late-night local cable channel.
One night in May, I watched Carl DeMaio interact with two employees from the city's Purchasing Department regarding a proposed $2-million-in-savings annual vendor contract (supported by DeMaio) that ended up really only saving the city $200,000 during the past year. (I believe this was due to discount items being purchased along with the contract's approved non-discount items from the vendor, and hence, a failure of the original expected savings from the contract.) Anyway, DeMaio spoke to these two employees with a haughty, superior attitude; he outright belittled and denigrated them as if the contract's failure had been their fault.
Fast forward two or three days to a Bankers Hill community meeting where mayoral candidates DeMaio, Nathan Fletcher and Bob Filner presented. DeMaio's persona here was in stark contrast to his style at the City Council meeting. He sounded like the "Savior of San Diego." He presented facts and figures with such charisma and kindness that I thought I may have had a brain infarct over the previous two days when I had witnessed his pompous and obnoxious attitude toward staff during the City Council meeting. Who is this guy?
Another thing that worried me in DeMaio's presentation was his proposal to alienate the public's staff—i.e. wage freeze for many years and the replacement / supplementation of library, city administrative and construction staff with volunteers (of all things!). I know that people work in government because of enhanced benefits, especially pensions, but why bother when someone like DeMaio could be in charge—someone who will clearly be the boss from Hell?
DeMaio's principles remind me of the reasons my grandparents left the old country in the late 1890s: masses of poor people toiling to support the elite!
Vote Filner! He may be a bit of a curmudgeon, but at least he's consistent, and we know he holds the people's interest in his heart.
Donna Shanske, Bankers Hill
Two peas in a pod
Regarding your Oct. 3 editorial about Carl DeMaio: You've been around long enough to know that after the first round, politicians move to the center to spread a wider net of potential votes. It's the wise move. You may dislike DeMaio, but he is not stupid.
Also, the traits you assign to him— combative, hostile, difficult, vindictive, etc.—can also apply to Bob Filner. Poor San Diego.
Jan Bourgeois, East Village
'Like' the L.A. Times
I'm writing in response to Ron Harris' letter in the Oct. 3 issue. I think there are many, many folks who would like to see the Los Angeles Times "establish a local presence in San Diego County," and I second his idea that CityBeat conduct a poll.
Mr. Harris and your readers might like to know that there is a page dedicated to this idea on Facebook. Search for "Bring the L.A. Times back to San Diego" and click "Like"!

Catholicism can go to hel; Hel in Niflheim, a realm of freezing rain and darkness in Germanic and Norse mythology, presided over by the Monster Goddess Hel; daughter of Loki; where all non-warriors go after death.
Most of those people were very intelligent. Smarter than most Americans; lol!
I totally disrespect the catholic church, for many obvious reasons. The Vatican and its followers don`t give to the poor like Jesus supposedly commanded. I think they are as immoral as any other lame-@$$ religion. Peace...

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - A proposal to strengthen state human trafficking laws has passed its first hurdle.
House members passed Friday a bill aimed at increasing the penalty for human trafficking.
The House version sponsored by Rep. Tim Lewis of Rio Rancho makes the crime a first degree felon if the victim is under the age of 16.
The bill now goes to the New Mexico Senate. Lewis, a Republican, says he hoped that senators would move quickly on the proposal.

9 Foreign-Based Players For
Equitorial Guinea
Swiss-based goalie, Louis Crayton
With just seven days to the crucial international encounter against
Equatorial Guinea in the 2008 qualifiers campaign, the Lone Star of
Liberia has moved to camp.
The team head coach, Fank Jericho Nagbe, named 27 players on Friday
for camp at the Tingod Village Hotel, along the Robertsfield
Highway, outside Monrovia.
The 27 men include 9 Professionals and 18 home-based players.
The Professionals short listed include Swiss-based goalie, Louis
Crayton; midfielders Kelvin Sebwe, of Greece; Anthony Laffor, of
South Africa's Jomo Cosmo; Murphy Nagbe and Zah Krangar, both of
Indonesian Persikabpas; Francis Grandpa Doe of Greece; Isaiah
Benson, Perry Kollie and Steve Mennoh , all of Indonesia.
Zah Krangar is a skillful young Midfielder
Some of the locally-based players include Jackson Wreh of Watanga;
Melvin King of Gedi and Shoes; Solomon Grimes of Mighty Barrolle;
Gizzie Dorbor of LISCR; LPRC-Oilers' Shelton Barlee; Solomon Wesseh,
of LPRC-Oilers; Prince Garwo, of LISCR; Mighty Barrolle's Eric
Weeks; Sengbe Kennedy, of Black Star; among others.
Though the selection has received sharp criticism from the public,
Coach Nagbe told BBC Sport that he was determined to field a team in
which home-grown players would form the majority. "I have a mandate
to build a solid home-based squad for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers
and the process has begun," he said.
"We have to be patient and give encouragement to the local players
who in time will improve." He then blamed the media for the public
criticism towards him saying, that he would not be deterred from
implementing his plans for the Lone Star.
Liberia last Nations Cup finals was in the 2002 finals in Mali. The
team's first opponent, Equatorial Guinea, will parade their
Liberian-born rugged center back, Lawrence Sokota Doe, of champion
club, Renascimento.
The player, who is nicknamed Puyol, is said to be itching to play
against his native land. Sokota, who played for the likes of
Devereux, LTC-Satellite, St. Anthony and as well had a stint with
Invincible Eleven, left the country in 2001 after signing with
premier club LISCR.

Newcomb At first glance, a 16-player roster for the Minerva-Newcomb varsity baseball team sounds impressive, but veteran Coach Ed LaCourse is faced with several challenges this season that could prevent the team from beating its 6-4 record last season.
"It's a weird season," said LaCourse, a teacher at Newcomb Central School. "I have no idea where we're going to end up this year."
The first question mark is the group of six international students. They've never played baseball before.
"It's more of a challenge for me because when you're coaching at the varsity level and you end up having to deal with some of the most basic skills that are usually done at Little League level, it kind of slows things down at times," LaCourse said. "I've decided they're just going to have to basically come along with whatever gifts they have."
That's not necessarily a bad thing. Last year, for example, the team was fortunate to have one player from Brazil who caught on quickly and ended up being an All-Star caliber player. And there are currently a few international students who have the potential to be good ball players.
"They've never played, but they've got the athletic ability and they are coming along at an accelerated rate," LaCourse said.
One standout could be Bryton Chikukwa, of Zimbabwe, who has played on the Mountaineers' soccer and basketball teams this year.
"I've never seen a kid hit a ball so hard in my entire life," LaCourse said about Chikukwa. "He's never hit a baseball in his entire life, but he hits it like he's Hank Aaron."

A portrait of contemporary French Arab masculinity, especially in relation toclass and religion, Adhen takes place at a warehouse and truck yard in a desolate industrial zone. When the workers there begin to chafe at their low wages, their boss, known as Mao, tries toplacate them by installing a mosque onsite. An example of forthright political filmmaking, Adhen propounds its point about religion as the opiate of the working class through straightforward allegory and gentle humor. After establishing himself as a subtle and charismatic leading man in his first two films, Ameur-Zaïmeche here contributes a slightly broader performance as Mao. The film takes full advantage of thevisual possibilities of its setting, using stacks of industrial pallets as semi-abstract backdrops, painted an arresting red.
Directed by Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche. With Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche, Abel Jafri, Christian Milia-Darmezin
France 2008, 35mm, color, 93 min. French and Arabic with English subtitles

Chocolate and mint is one of my favorite combinations when it comes to anything chocolate. These cookies are awesome because there's chocolate chips and chocolate cocoa mixed into the dough so there's twice as much chocolate flavor. The intense chocolatey-ness of these cookies is combined with mint extract and the result is just so good! It's a simple recipe that only takes maybe 25 minutes to whip together and bake. The inside of the cookies melt in your mouth while the outside has just a tiny bit of crunch around the edges. The aroma of mint and chocolate was intoxicating so I definitely will be making these again. I would recommend trying one of these fresh out of the oven…so heavenly!
Mint Syrup
I decided to try making mint syrup because I thought it would be nice with a Grasshopper sundae. Grasshoppers are made with vanilla ice cream, mint syrup (or creme de menthe), and hot fudge. The process is similar to making a mint syrup for cocktails except that the water and sugar is reduced longer to make it thick. I look forward to having this with some homemade hot fudge!

Strawberries Gets Onsightedby Jack Geldard - UKC Chief Editor May/2011
This news story has been read 17,423 times
"I climbed One Step in the Clouds (VS), The Weaver (E2), Strawberries (E7) and Cream (E4). It's hard to say which is the best route, it's either The Weaver or One Step. Pulling round on to that slab on One Step was fantastic, such great rock, with all the hidden holds and cracks." commented Jorg.
When told that 'everyone' falls off Strawberries he said:
"It's a great route. I guess people have just been unlucky. I really enjoyed it."
Strawberries (sometimes graded E6, often considered E7) is a tough but safe route taking a striking crackline on the Vector headwall of Craig Bwlch y Moch at Tremadog. It was first climbed by Ron Fawcett back 1980.� The first ascent without pre-placed gear was by Johnny Woodward in 1982 and the first (and until this week only) on sight was by Stefan Glowacz in 1987.
German super-star climber Stefan Glowacz, who was also climbing at Tremadog the morning that Jorg onsighted Strawberries (Glowacz was enjoying the classic route of Vulcan!), responded to the joke that his 'crown' had been taken:
"Time moves on man!" he laughed.
Although Jorg didn't struggle with the route, it has seen off many good climbers over the years and is still awaiting a British onsight. But who will it be? UKC's money is on Steve McClure, mainly because almost everyone else has already fallen off it!
Jorg, who isn't that well known in the UK, has had a couple of trips to the gritstone over the last few years, but this was his first time in North Wales. Jorg was visiting with the Marmot team (see UKC announcement) and staying at Plas y Brenin. Unfortunately he didn't get the best weather, but did also manage a slightly soggy ascent of T-REX at Gogarth.
Jorg won the overall Lead World Cup back in 2008, has flashed several F8c routes and has climbed Font 8B.
On a previous quick trip to the grit he onsighted Paralogism (E7) at The Roaches, and he has also climbed Shine On (E7) at Stanage.
Jorg Verhoeven is sponsored by Marmot, La Sportiva, Petzl.

The Parish of Winterborne Herringston
Winterborne Herringston is a small parish in south Dorset, situated 2 miles south of Dorchester and 5 miles to the north of Weymouth. It is surrounded by the parishes of Dorchester (formerly Fordington parish) to the north, Winterborne Came to the east, Bincombe to the south and Winterborne Monkton to the west. The whole parish is part of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), designated in 1959.A map of parish boundaries can be found here
The parish is perhaps best known for the swathes of snowdrops which appear each spring on either side of Herringston House's driveway. Most of the other houses are, or were formerly, estate cottages.
The village's name changed over the centuries, as follows:
- Wintreburne 1086 (Domesday Book)
- Winterborn Harang 1243
- Wynterburne Heringeston 1288
- Heryngston 1464
The village is named after the Winterborne river flowing through the valley, the Harang family, who owned the manor and 'tun' means 'estate' or 'village' [Mills 1998]. The same family owned Chaldon Herring and Langton Herring. The parish originally had a chapel or church (marked on OS maps as being situated under the front lawn of Herringston House) and later a chapel within the house itself [Good 1987]. Baptisms, marriages and burials of the parishioners are divided between Came and Monkton parish registers.
The Online Parish Clerk (OPC) for Winterborne Came is James Purkiss. You may contact me by e-mail if you have further queries.
Please Note: I am an unpaid volunteer willing to assist others with their genealogical research and should in no way be confused with the Parish Council or Parochial Church Council clerks.

Portland families deserve safe streets on which to walk, bike, operate mobility devices, access transit, and drive. PBOT aims to make our transportation system the safest possible and to move towards zero traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries in the next 10 years. This effort is known as Vision Zero.
Vision Zero acknowledges that the death or serious injury of even one person on Portland roadways is too many. When answering the question, "How many of our family members, friends, or neighbors can we accept being killed or maimed in traffic?" the only acceptable answer is zero.
The Portland Bureau of Transportation is committed to developing a Vision Zero safety strategy that outlines how street design, traffic enforcement, and education will realize our vision.
A critical component of our effort is reporting on our progress. On this page, you can learn more about our approach to Vision Zero (as laid out in our 2-Year Workplan), examine crash data and trends, learn about our current safety efforts, and view safety education resources.

Curb extensions narrow the street by widening the sidewalk or the landscaped parking strip.
Pedestrian refuges or slow points are small islands in the middle of the street, typically designed with marked bike lanes on both sides.
Choke Points are curb extensions placed mid block to narrow the roadway to 14' or the equivalent of one travel lane.
Exclusion lanes are lanes for a particular class of vehicle, excluding all others.
Cul-de-Sacs close one end of a street.
A median barrier is a concrete curb or island that is located on the centerline of a street and continues through the street's intersection with a given cross street.
Semi-diverters are curb extensions or islands that block one lane of the street.
Diagonal diverters place a barrier diagonally across an intersection, disconnecting the legs of the intersection.
Entrance treatments consist of physical and textural changes to streets and are located at key entry ways into a neighborhood
