The Lonely Range (1911)
Plot Summary
Charley Crawford, a young ranch man, marries the daughter of a farmer and takes her from the homestead to his ranch in the West. They are very happy, in love, and the days slip by, unnoticed, while they are together. But the day comes when it is necessary for the young husband to leave his home to look after his scattered herd. After he is gone, the young wife, left alone, finds the absence of human companionship and the silence of the vast prairie oppressive. In the course of their work, her husband and his companions come upon a ranger, whose horse has fallen upon him, pinning him underneath and seriously injuring him. Crawford's ranch is the nearest habitation and the ranger is carried to the ranch to be looked after by the young wife. She welcomes the break in the monotony and nurses the ranger; glad to have the diversion. The ranger's injuries are soon well, thanks to her care; and he prepares to leave the ranch. He informs Mrs. Crawford of his intention and she watches his preparations for departure with much regret. Then fear of loneliness prompts her to ask him to take her to town that she may return to her parents until after the roundup. The ranger takes her on his horse and she gives him a letter to be delivered to her husband at his camp. On the trail, they meet one of the cowboys, who takes in the unusual situation to mean that Mrs. Crawford has run away with the ranger. He rides to the camp and tells Crawford that his wife has eloped. In his anger, Charley attacks his informant, but the boys intervene; and he hurries to his home to find the house empty and circumstantial evidence pointing to the truth of the cowboy's story. He feels the pangs of jealousy and the bitterness of life makes the hitherto honest man an outlaw. Months after, the same ranger is assigned to the task of hunting the desperado down. He trails him into the mountains and comes upon him, but the wary outlaw has him covered with his gun before he realizes what has happened. They recognize each other simultaneously and the ranger drops his gun. All the bitterness he has felt surges through Crawford. At last, he has at his mercy the man whom he believes has wrecked his home and he prepares to strangle him. A desperate conflict ensues and at last the ranger succeeds in mastering his adversary and he snaps on the handcuffs. He extends the letter written by Crawford's wife to his captive, who opens and reads: "Dear Roy: The loneliness of the range is awful. I am going home until after the roundup. Lucille." Remorse comes to Crawford and the ranger understands. He unlocks the handcuffs and releases his man, and Crawford hurries back to his home and his waiting wife.- Written by Moving Picture World synopsis

Lions overcome mistakes, beat Jaguars 13-12
DETROIT -- Reggie Bush's long run was a highlight -- one the Detroit Lions nearly wasted with the kinds of mistakes they can ill afford once the season starts.
"The big thing that kind of hurt us tonight were penalties and turnovers," quarterback Matthew Stafford said. "You have those, you make it tough on yourself. We can't do that."
Bush's 86-yard touchdown gave the Lions an early lead, and they eventually came away with a 13-12 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday night. But Detroit also turned the ball over three times and committed 15 penalties, looking a lot like the team that frittered away a playoff spot last season because of costly mistakes in close games.
Calvin Johnson played for the first time this preseason, catching two passes for 27 yards, but Stafford was intercepted once and the Lions struggled in the red zone.
Blake Bortles threw for 158 yards and a touchdown for the Jaguars. Jacksonville started Chad Henne, but Bortles -- the third pick in this year's draft -- was impressive in relief. He completed 10 of 16 passes, including a 13-yard touchdown to Allen Hurns.
The Jaguars were about as mistake-prone as the Lions, turning the ball over twice and committing 12 penalties for 101 yards. Detroit's 15 penalties went for 131 yards, including a roughing the passer call on Ndamukong Suh.
"For the most part, I haven't seen too many (penalties) that were simply physical -- that they couldn't do anything about it," said Detroit coach Jim Caldwell, who took over in the offseason after Jim Schwartz was fired. "The ones we had were preventable, and that's what we'll work on."
Detroit was stopped on fourth down inside the Jacksonville 5-yard line in the first half, and Mikel Leshoure lost a fumble deep in Jaguars territory in the fourth quarter. Ryan Broyles had a fumble at the Jacksonville 1 overturned on replay.
George Winn scored from there to give Detroit a 13-12 lead with 7:12 remaining.
Even when Detroit's top players were in, the Lions struggled at times. Stafford nearly had two passes intercepted on the first drive, but Bush scored on his long run later in the quarter, showing he can still outrun defensive backs in the open field.
"My whole mentality was just not to get caught from behind," Bush said. "I don't want to come back to the sideline and have guys talking trash and laughing at me that I got caught from behind."
Stafford was intercepted by defensive end Andre Branch on the first play of Detroit's third possession.
Jacksonville's Josh Scobee kicked a 38-yard first-quarter field goal but was replaced by Kasey Redfern because of a quadriceps injury. Redfern made a 34-yarder in the second quarter but had a 45-yard attempt blocked in the third.
Henne went 9 of 14 for 70 yards and avoided any major mistakes. But Bortles, the first quarterback taken in this year's draft, was able to move the Jaguars down the field. Jacksonville started at its own 5 with 1:43 remaining in the first half, and Bortles was able to guide the Jaguars into position for Redfern's kick as time expired.
In the third quarter, Bortles took the Jaguars from their own 14 to the Detroit 27 before Redfern's kick was blocked by Xavier Proctor. On its next drive, Jacksonville went 49 yards in four plays for its only touchdown.
Coach Gus Bradley maintains that Henne is still the starter, and Bortles seems fine with that at this point.
"This has been a perfect situation for me, because it has been a stress-free learning experience," Bortles said. "I knew on Day One that Chad was going to be the starter, and I've been able to just focus on learning from him. When he's on the field, I'm his biggest fan, because I want to see things going right and learn how it works in the NFL."
Hurns had seven catches for 113 yards.
Jacksonville's Denard Robinson, a star quarterback when he was at Michigan in nearby Ann Arbor, got a nice cheer from the crowd in the first quarter when he made a tackle on special teams.
Game notes
Detroit FB Montell Owens was evaluated for a possible first-quarter head injury, and Caldwell said he didn't have an update afterward. Lions LB Kyle Van Noy sat out with an abdominal injury. ... Bradley said Scobee's injury wasn't too serious, but DT David Carter left in the fourth quarter with a sprained MCL, and DT Sen'Derrick Marks is expected to have an MRI on a shoulder injury. FS Winston Guy Jr. hurt his left ankle, but tests came back negative.

Sun Summer Intern
Bonnie Abbi believes her move from Alberta, Canada, to Springfield, Ky., was due to God throwing a dart on the map. It was where she needed to be.
"I now believe in all my heart there are so many blessings he could shower upon me here rather than in British Columbia," Abbi said.
Abbi, along with her husband, Dr. Atam Abbi, and two children, James and Marisha, live in an 1880s style house. It looks like any vintage house, and the family has lived there since 1994, though they are just now able to raise the American flag with pride.
Bonnie just received her citizenship card notifying her that she is an official United States citizen.
"It's more than just getting a library card," she said.
Abbi went onto say that it took her and friend Gail Mastin a little over a year to get all the paperwork together. But once it was done, she felt stunned.
Soon after, Abbi had thoughts of running for a public office, for the school board or maybe city council.
Before getting her citizenship, Abbi was involved in numerous activities around Washington County.
She home schooled her children, 17-year-old James and 15-year-old Marisha. She has given speeches on autism in Albequire, helped council mothers with dieting tips for their autistic children and teach sign language.
"She has done so much … It's an amazing story," said Mastin.
Mastin added that when Abbi was diagnosed with cancer in 2005 and needed a craniotomy, she still kept going. Mastin noted that Abbi was even in church the Sunday after her craniotomy.
"Bonnie has been such an inspiration to church," Mastin said.
After a recent trip to Hawaii during spring break, Abbi learned that she had a brain tumor, but that isn't slowing her down, and she credits her strength to her faith.
"She prays constantly … I've never met anyone so blessed by the Lord," Mastin said.

Get an Awe-Inspiring Watercolor Tattoo Without the Commitment
Watercolor tattoos are beautiful, right? But if you don't want a commitment, you can re-create the look by using food coloring and any waterproof liquid eyeliner you have handy. Practice a little by tracing geometric shapes (or whatever design you like) on a piece of paper. Then, using different brushes, pat on the food coloring. It should wash off in the shower using soap, water, and a little exfoliation. Also, if you're allergic to food coloring, maybe sit this one out? And always test a small patch on a hidden part of your body before trying out trends to see how your skin reacts! Let us know in the comments if you'd give this a go.

Adrian Gonzalez = second best 1B
Yes he does. Many people have their OPINIONS, but the facts are adrian gonzalez is #2 best, he's more consistent day-to-day. he carries the san diego padres, he hits homeruns constantly, he has a .300+ average and he's just all around good.

yep, haha, your the loser who dug this out of the basement just to make one person try and feel bad. well i dont :)
and you missed out, i even told people to get rid of gonzo since then! haha.
yeah im a little upset at this post, but oh well, whoda thunk it.
Why doesn't Kevin Youkilis get any love? He hits about .315-.320 with around 30 HR's and gold glove caliber defense. He doesn't have the same power as Pujols, Gonzalez, and Howard, but he can't be left out of the conversation. Plus, I'd like to see Howard and Gonzalez go to the AL East where Youk plays and put up the same numbers they do in their crappy NL leagues. Youkilis not only gets the job done, but he does it in the best division in baseball.

If you've ever seen Gonzalez and Howard hit the ball, you'd see they can do it anywhere.
They have so much power and precision. its ridiculous.
Youk is left out because he only has like 30 homers.
Gonzalez can hit like 50-60 this year. and Howard can do the same.

good thing is. about the lil ryan howard, adrian gonzalez battle. I have both of them on my team, so it doesnt matter who does better lol. i just think adrian gonzalez will do a little better than him.
Adrian Gonzalez has been so consistent for me, i never bench him, i actually benched howard at one point in the season. and the last couple weeks he's gotten what? 4 HR every week?

what good fact have you given? all you keep ranting is that he is "2nd best", and clearly, you're wrong, based on history and based on the present... the only person giving "facts" here is me... like that he was #8 last year, and #12 the year before, and his stats in comparison to others, and the fact he is #3 this year... where are your facts... the only thing you've accomplished is throwing out insults because you have nothing to sustain your arguement

Parking wardens issue fewer notices
Relevant offers
A man became so angry after receiving a ticket for no warrant of fitness or registration he started wrecking his own car on the side of an Invercargill street.
Invercargill City Council compliance manager Debbie McCallum said this was one of the quirkiest incidents witnessed by an Invercargill City Council parking compliance officer in the city.
After receiving the ticket, the man kicked his car, broke a window and pulled the wipers off before getting into his car and leaving a large black tyre mark down the street, she said.
The number of parking tickets issued by the Invercargill City Council has dropped in the past year along with tickets for no warrant of fitness and registration.
Council parking wardens issued 12,095 tickets between January 1 and July 31 this year, down from 14,310 at the same time last year.
Of those, 598 were for vehicles not displaying a current warrant of fitness, down from 719 last year.
The figures also show 960 tickets were issued for failing to display a current registration label, down
from 1026 last year. The value of infringements also dropped, from $552,410 in the first half of last year, to $476,141 this year.
Ms McCallum said one of the reasons for the decline in ticket numbers was the fewer enforcement staff on the road during the past few months.
She hoped to be fully staffed going into next month.
The money collected from parking tickets went into the department's general account.
The council was required to pay a 50 per cent levy to the Crown in respect to infringements paid for warrant and registration, she said.
Not all infringements were paid because the law gave defendants the right to make a submission for waiver, she said.
The Invercargill City Council website says recipients have 28 days to pay or submit a written explanation to the council.
If a parking ticket remains unpaid it is lodged with the Ministry of Justice and a further court cost is added.
If the fine still remains unpaid the court is required to take action and a further court cost will be added.
Enforcement action can be taken and can include wheel clamping a vehicle, seizing property, or making compulsory deductions from income or a bank account.
NZ Transport Agency southern regional director Jim Harland said it was encouraging that more car owners appeared to be meeting their warrant of fitness and registration obligations.
"From a road safety perspective, it's pleasing to see more people have current warrants of fitness on their vehicles which helps make our roads safer for everyone."
Failing to display a current warrant of fitness $200
Failing to display a registration label $200
Obscured or indistinguishable registration label $200
Obscured or indistinguishable registration plate $200
Failing to display registration plates $200
No certificate of fitness – commercial vehicle $600
Parking tickets vary from $12 to $42
Parking in a disability park $150
Parking within six metres of an intersection $60
Inconsiderate parking $60
Parked facing the wrong way $40
Operated vehicle with a damaged tyre $150

Tom Cockram's behind-the-scenes shots of the Jude Law whisky ad
The word "sumptuous" shouldn't be thrown around willy nilly, but in the context of a new Johnnie Walker whisky ad featuring Jude Law lounging on what could be the world's most expensive antique boat, lolling about on the sapphire Mediterranean, it's totally acceptable. You may well have seen the Johnnie Walker ad in collaboration with Mr Porter going around the web last week, a 6-minute visual feast that is infused with style and money and a Talented Mr Ripley-vibe. Tom Cockram, a photographer we hold very dear to our hearts, has put all the behind-the-scenes shots from this ad that was directed by Jake Scott up on his site, and I'm tempted to say that I'm enjoying these even more than the ad itself.

Two ~8c's by Alexandra Taistraby Björn Pohl - UKC Nov/2013
This news story has been read 3,623 times
Polish climber Alexandra "Ola" Taistra has repeated Mind Control and Fish Eye, both ~8c, at Oliana, Spain?
On her blog she writes about how different the two routes are to each other, even though they are on the same crag.
In short Fish eye has a little if everything, while Mind control is more of an endurance route on mostly small holds. Originally given 8c+, most now call Mind control ~8c. Alexandra agrees and says it's probably hard 8c or 8c/+.
Last year, Alexandra climbed Cosi fan Tutte, 8c+, at Rodellar, her hardest route so far.

Wealth held by rich investors with assets over $1 million is set to grow 50 percent in the next five years to $75 trillion, according to a report published on Thursday.
The study by management consultancy Oliver Wyman found that the annual growth rate of wealth held by high net worth individuals is expected to slow to nine percent in the next five years as tougher market environment bites.
Global wealth held by rich clients grew by an annual 12 percent over the past five years to 2007 to $50 trillion thanks to a bull run in stock markets.

Interestingly, a new twist on an alternative revenue generator has emerged: the democratized digital tip jar. Sites like Wikipedia have employed an online tip jar for years in the form of regular requests for donations from its users via PayPal, credit/debit cards, and other payment methods. But now a major player in the digital donations space-Flattr-is partnering with AdBlock Plus to offer Flattr Plus, a browser extension/app that enables users to remove online ads from sites they visit while also contributing a monthly payment in an amount they choose that will be distributed proportionally to publishers of the sites they surf.

RealNetworks, Inc., MTV Networks, a division of VIACOM International, and Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone have announced they are teaming to create an integrated digital music experience that consumers can access via their PC, portable music device, or mobile phone. Rhapsody will unite RealNetworks' service and MTV Networks URGE music service. Verizon Wireless' V CAST Music--a mobile music service--will become the mobile platform for the integrated Rhapsody service. As part of this alliance, MTV Networks and Real are forming a new company, Rhapsody America, whose offering will be the exclusive digital music service for Real and for MTV Networks' music and pop culture brands in the United States.

One thing is for certain — I wouldn't want to be a Christmas tree
I have always been vulnerable when confronted with Christmas decorations, and I am sitting in my living room staring at them. The lights on the tree are blinking on and off and I'm mesmerized. I have never been to a hypnotist but maybe mesmerization is the last state you enter before going over the edge into being hypnotized. Maybe being mesmerized is the last thing you remember. It does seem to be a state all its own. When I was a child I did the same thing — watched the lights blink on and off, alone in the living room at night. The only difference is I know a lot more about Christmas now than I did then. I knew practically nothing then. My mother put an electric candle in each window, they were ivory-colored plastic, and at the end of each taper, near the bulb, fake drips of wax were molded; I loved the drips the most, it meant that the candles looked real to people inside the house, not just to people looking at them from the outside. What I didn't know then was that these decorations evolved from the Jewish menora, the Hebrew festival of lights. I don't think my mother knew that either, but if she did she never mentioned it. And I certainly never contemplated the resemblance of a sleigh to a cradle. A sleigh is basically a very large cradle. The runners of the sleigh are what makes the cradle rock. Once there was a very eccentric man, in the nineteenth century in upstate New York, and when he was in his fifties he had a carpenter build him a cradle. I saw it in a museum, the biggest cradle ever made, and every night he slept in it, and when he entered his last illness he stayed in the cradle day and night, feeling the sensual throes of the cradle while somebody nursed and rocked him. I mean in the sense of caring for him. He died in his cradle, and the card on the wall of the museum said he was happy at the end. When I was a child one of my ornaments was a little red velveteen sleigh. I used to put a tiny doll in it, but now it is empty. I don't even like it anymore and when I was decorating the tree I thought about throwing it away but then I remembered the man in the cradle and decided to keep it. My mother and father also decorated the outside of our house with lights. We lived in a different house every year, so it wasn't easy — the length of the light strings kept changing. People who live in the same house every year don't think about things like that, their dimensions stay the same, there's no need to adjust anything, ever. After the lights were up on the outside of the house, my father would put us in the car and drive around the neighborhood, looking at the lights on the other houses. Sometimes he made disparaging remarks and sometimes in silence admired them. When he admired them he would make changes in his own lights the following year, but as we were by then in a new house none of the neighbors knew we were copycats. The most beautiful yard we ever saw had a snow scene with a frozen pond in the middle and life-size figure skaters who floated across the pond wearing muffs. This was in southern California, so everything was fake — the snow, the frozen pond, even the skaters were fake, and when they moved you could hear a slight whir under the ice — I guess it came from a motor. My father couldn't copy that — I could tell from his face that he was defeated. In those days everyone had lights. Not a single house was without them. That's one thing that has certainly changed. Today, only poor people have lights, and the poorest people of all have the most of them. At least this is true of the town I live in. There is one street which has the poorest people of all and at Christmas it is ablaze with lights, there are electric deer on the lawns and huge inflatable Santas, the roofs have more Santas descending in sleighs with reindeer, that kind of thing. The rich people think it is ugly, they don't bother anymore and they worry about the electric bill. They try to live calm, natural lives. They bake all their own bread, they make cookies and cakes and pies from scratch, they make their own beer and their own wine and liquors and they grow their own food in the summer — and come winter, when they want a Christmas tree or some holly, they just walk out on their land and cut it. Poor people have to use money, they have to go to the store and buy food, especially the kind that is already made. It didn't used to be that way. When I was a kid, it was understood that poor people had to make everything themselves while rich people got to buy things. My mother bought whole cakes at the grocery store and said we were lucky, not to have to make them ourselves. Now everything is reversed. If my mother and father were still alive they would be very confused. I think we would all become confused, eventually, if we didn't die. Maybe death prevents a major confusion that would, if it were allowed to go on, eventually kill us all. When I was little, one Christmas ritual majorly confused me. My mother had a little ceramic sleigh that sat on the table. It was driven by a ceramic Santa and pulled by ceramic reindeer. Every year I had to wrap empty matchboxes so they looked like tiny presents. Then we piled them in the sleigh; they were the presents Santa was hauling. But they were empty, and it made me sad. My mother would sit at the table smoking, watching me wrap the matchboxes. Can't we put anything in them? I asked. No, she said, they're fake. Couldn't we pretend? I said. That's what we're doing, she said. I mean real pretend, I said, but she just stared off into space and I knew the conversation had ended. One thing is for certain — I wouldn't want to be a Christmas tree. It would be nice to be the center of attention, to be so decorated and lit that people stared at you in wonder, and made a fuss over you, and were mesmerized. That would be nice. But then you'd start dropping your needles and people would become bored with you and say you weren't looking so good, and then they'd take all your jewelry off, and haul you off to the curb where you would be picked up and crushed and eventually burned. That's the terrible part. Maybe that's why so many people today have fake trees. They are quite popular. Their limbs come apart and you can put them in boxes and store them. You can have one of these trees until you die and you can pass them on to your children. They may not be real but when you look at them you can't tell the difference. That always makes people happy — not being able to tell the difference. And happiness, to want to be happy, is the most natural thing of all. That man in his big cradle was happy, though I never understood why, when he died, they didn't just saw the runners off and use it as his coffin. I don't think anyone would have noticed; in the end, the difference between a cradle and a coffin is hardly worth mentioning, though then again I wouldn't have seen the cradle later, in the museum, and if that hadn't happened I wouldn't have kept my red velveteen sleigh, I would have just thrown it away. No, never! When it comes to Christmas, when Christmas comes, I sit firmly on the lap of Charles Dickens, and repeat after him: Welcome, Everything! At this well-remembered time, when Everything is capable, with the greatest of ease, of being changed into Anything. On this day we shut out Nothing!

Freddie Gray's relatives arrived for the trial in the afternoon, after the prep-school kids had left. By their dress, they seemed to have just gotten off work in the medical and clerical fields. The family did not appear at ease in the courtroom. They winced and dropped their heads as William Porter and his fellow officer Zachary Novak testified to opening the doors of their police van last April and finding Freddie paralyzed, unresponsive, with mucus pooling at his mouth and nose. Four women and one man mournfully listened as the officers described needing to get gloves before they could touch him.
The first of six Baltimore police officers to be brought before the court for their treatment of Freddie Gray, a black twenty-five-year-old whose death in their custody was the immediate cause of the city's uprising last spring, William Porter is young, black, and on trial. Here in this courtroom, in this city, in this nation, race and the future seem so intertwined as to be the same thing.

Milton Vermont is a town located in Chittenden County, in the "Lake Champlain Valley" region of the state. Local legend says the town was named for a blind English poet, John Milton, but others say it was probably named for William Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam, who held the title of Viscount Milton.
The town is home to Omni Medical Systems, a defense contractor for the US Air Force and the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom.
Some noted residents of Milton include: George Allen, noted clergyman & academic; John G. Haskell, architect who designed Kansas public buildings including the Kansas State Capitol; and George J. Stannard, Civil War era general.

Connecting the Drops is an art and education exhibit about water conservation featuring rain barrels adorned by talented local artists. We install the barrels in Vermont towns in the summer and give people the chance to win the works of art to collect roof runoff at homes around the state. The fourth year of the Connecting the Drops Rain Barrel Exhibit is right around the corner! Funded by the Chittenden County Stream Team, the rain barrels will be exhibited at the Milton Farmer's Market adjacent to the Hannaford Plaza in Milton, VT from June 9th to July 7th. Five lucky Chittenden County residents will get to take home a uniquely painted rain barrel. Check out the exhibit and sign up to win!

This was all fields back then.
Ahh, those were the days.
Suppose you could buy the Toshiba HD DVD player and pull the NEC drive out of it. There's also some unofficial HD DVD drives being sold at the moment, I guess Toshiba want all the drives so they can produce as many players as possible.
Not yet, but they will be available late spring/early summer, though there is not word yet as to what price one of these drives will fetch. Sony recently posted details on a pretty well stacked, new VAIO package with Blu-Ray on their site with a retail price of around $2,300.
If they can actually make their promises on the rewrittable (10,000 write cycles), then the price point for the 50GB rewrittable isn't really that bad. However, most computers won't be able to read them for awhile.
Are there even drives available yet?
Are there even drives available yet?
I spose the best comparison is the price of single layer dvd blanks compared to dual layer dvd blanks....
Especially the 200GB, 8 layer disc if it ever makes it out of the labs - bet that will require a further generation of drives to read/write.

For some time, we at the Open Knowledge Foundation have been working on a project to allow you to annotate the web. All of it. We're now happy to announce two major releases: of [Annotator][ann], the code that makes web annotation possible, and [AnnotateIt][annit], a web service providing storage for your annotations.
[ann]: http://okfnlabs.org/annotator
[annit]: http://annotateit.org/
### What are you on about?
If you haven't [heard us talking](http://blog.okfn.org/2012/02/02/annotators-of-the-world-unite/) about Annotator or AnnotateIt before, you'll be wondering what this is all about. Annotator is a piece of code that runs in your web browser and helps you add commentary to the web. There's an Annotator "[bookmarklet](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet)" — like the one used by Pinterest and many other web applications — which allows you to create annotations on any web page simply by selecting content with your mouse. This will work no matter where on the web you are; whether you're reading a [Shakespeare play](http://openshakespeare.org/work/hamlet), a news article, or a [Wikipedia page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annotation). These annotations usually contain simple text content, but in principle they can contain [any kind of data you like](https://github.com/okfn/annotator/wiki/Annotation-format). There are already a number of plugins that store extra data on the annotations such as [tags][tagsplugin] or [details of who created them][permissionsplugin], but you could include links to other web pages, videos, or audio content. All the annotations you make can be [saved][storeplugin] to a central service for long-term storage. You can find a demo of the Annotator software [on the Annotator website](http://okfnlabs.org/annotator/demo).
[tagsplugin]: https://github.com/okfn/annotator/wiki/Tags-Plugin
[permissionsplugin]: https://github.com/okfn/annotator/wiki/Permissions-Plugin
[storeplugin]: https://github.com/okfn/annotator/wiki/Store-Plugin
In addition to the plugins we administer, others have added support for [touch devices](https://github.com/aron/annotator.touch.js), [storage in your browser](https://github.com/aron/annotator.offline.js), and [heatmaps](https://github.com/tilgovi/annotator/blob/heatmap/src/plugin/heatmap.coffee) allowing you to see where a document is most heavily annotated.
That's all well and good, but how can you actually use this thing? That's what [AnnotateIt][annit] is for. AnnotateIt provides "annotation as a service," and serves as the long-term storage we mentioned in the previous paragraphs. In the next 30 seconds, you can get up and running with Annotator in your browser by following a few simple steps:
1. [Sign up to AnnotateIt](http://annotateit.org/user/signup).
2. Go to "My Account" and drag the bookmarklet to your browser's bookmarks bar.
3. That's it, you're done: you can use the bookmarklet anywhere on the web.
All the annotations you make anywhere on the web will be saved to AnnotateIt and you'll be able to review and organise them on
AnnotateIt is also designed for people who run websites with content that could do with annotating. [Open Shakespeare](http://openshakespeare.org) is one of our projects that uses AnnotateIt as a storage server, while presenting annotation as a fully integrated service. If you develop such a website, you might be interested to know that integration with AnnotateIt takes just a few lines of code: see [our website](http://annotateit.org/#develop) for details.
### So what's new?
* Annotations now have [an online presence](http://annotateit.org/annotations/4kcArX26So2gcQ8ZHpyMqQ), and when you create annotations with the AnnotateIt bookmarklet they display a link you can share with friends on Twitter, Facebook, etc. You can even embed Annotations directly in a web page, like this:
* We've made several tweaks to Annotator's user interface to improve its usability, particularly when annotation is enabled for only a small part of a larger page.
* Developers can now make their site annotatable with [just one line of Javascript](http://annotateit.org/#develop).
* We've been involved with the [Open Annotation Collaboration](http://www.openannotation.org/)'s work to standardise the world of online annotation, and in the future we hope we'll be making Annotator into the first real-world implementation of the OAC specification.
* [Hypothes.is](http://hypothes.is) are working with us on their project to bring citizen-powered peer review to the web.
* [FinalsClub](http://finalsclub.org/) are porting some 9000 high-quality annotations of Shakespeare plays over to Annotator's format so they can be displayed on [Open Shakespeare](http://openshakespeare.org).
Lastly, we've been working on improving our internal processes and infrastructure so that we can continue to iterate faster in the coming months.
### What's left to do?
There's so much we have planned for the future! To pick just two particularly exciting things out of the laundry-list of plans we have for Annotator (see more in [the minutes of our recent community call](http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/annotator-dev/2012-March/000283.html)):
1. The ability to Annotate not only web pages, but multimedia content within those pages like images and video. We hope we'll be working with the authors of [yuma.min.js](http://yuma-js.github.com/) to make that happen.
2. The Changing Content Problem. At the moment, Annotator doesn't behave particularly cleverly when the content it's annotating changes. In the most general case, this is a really tough problem to solve when you don't control the content, but lots of smart people (see [the Memento project](http://mementoweb.org)) are working on it, and we're going to see what we can do to transparently migrate annotations to newer versions of a web page where possible, and provide access to old/outdated annotations via a Memento server or something like it.
If you want to get involved, please subscribe to [the mailing list](http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/annotator-dev/) and join us in the [#annotator IRC channel on Freenode](http://irc.okfn.org/annotator). If you're a developer: get stuck in and send a pull request [on GitHub](https://github.com/okfn/annotator). Whatever you do, make sure you [sign up to AnnotateIt](http://annotateit.org) and [send us feedback on what you see](mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com,firstname.lastname@example.com)!
