Kay Bailey Sits Down With Dallas Tea Party to Talk Health Care Reform, 10th Amendment
Kay Bailey Hutchison and members of the Dallas Tea Party met in her office Saturday morning.
I just found on YouTube a few clips in which Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison's talking health care reform with members of the Dallas Tea Party. As it turns out, the senator met with several of their representatives Saturday morning at her Dallas offices; the Tea Party's report from the get-together can be found here, with even more video clips from which to choose. In one that's rather hard to hear, the senator says, "The original intent [of the Constitution] was there would be a very small federal government, that it would cover the basics and everything was left to the states that wasn't covered and reserved by the federal government. We have gone so far beyond that, and I think things are best left to the states, and I am in strong support of the 10th Amendment." How very Rick Perry.

Edwin Abbott's beloved mathematical adventure novel Flatland (1884) is being introduced to a whole new generation of readers and viewers through Flatland: The Movie, a dramatic computer-animated adaptation starring Martin Sheen, Kristen Bell, Michael York, Tony Hale, and Joe Estevez. This book is the companion to the movieand the ultimate edition of the classic book on which it is based. A beautiful, large-format volume, Flatland: The Movie Edition includes: the full text of the original novel; the screenplay of the movie; essays on the making of the movie by the writers and filmmakersproducer Seth Caplan, director Jeffrey Travis, and director and animator Dano Johnson; color illustrations; and a new introduction by Thomas Banchoff, a Brown University mathematician and Flatland authority who served as an advisor to the filmmakers. By describing the challenges the filmmakers faced in updating a Victorian mathematical allegory for a new generation and transforming it into a compelling animated story, Flatland: The Movie Edition makes watching the movie and reading Abbott's book even more illuminating and enjoyable. You'll never think about the multiple dimensions of space in the same way again.
Editorial Reviews
"Flatland fueled my interest in mathematics and creative thinking when I was a child. Now this classic story has been reinterpreted as a gloriously vivid movie that will excite both children and adults. This book completes the movie experience by providing the original book, the screenplay of the movie, and comments by the filmmakers."Scott Kim, Discover Magazine
"Flatland has inspired many sequels over the years since its publication, but the epithet 'original and best' strikes me as apt. Abbott displays marvelously playful inventiveness and sharp satirical intent. . . . It remains a splendidly readable book for formative minds of all ages."Nick Lord, Mathematical Gazette
"The ultimate edition of the classic book."The Providence Journal
"Edwin Abbott's 1884 classic is billed here as a mathematical story, designed to stimulate young imaginations. But the tale of a two-dimensional 'Flatland' and a visiting sphere, who introduces the Gospel of the Three Dimensions, is also a timeless satire on class privilege. A delightful piece of science fiction, it explores how a 2D world might actually work. The book is nicely presented, and includes the full text of the original novel, the screenplay for the forthcoming film, commentaries from the filmmakers and stunning colour art taken from the film."New Scientist
"This new edition of the classic book maintains all the appeal of the original well-read and well-loved version."Mathematics Teacher
"I thoroughly recommend this book and movie to those readers and viewers of all ages who like a little romance, mixed with adventure and drama and fantastic color animation."Rob Harle, Leonardo

Introduction Thomas Banchoff
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is my favorite book and, as I stated at the end of my extra feature on the DVD of Flatland: The Movie, I am very happy to be a consultant on an adaptation that will introduce new generations to its themes and messages.
For those readers who are not yet familiar with the original book, I encourage you to read the story that inspired the film. The author of Flatland, Edwin Abbott Abbott, was a master teacher and educational reformer. His story is both a social satire confronting some of the most important issues of his day and an introduction to the challenge of coming to terms with geometry of higher dimensions. Through carefully crafted dialogue and satirical references to social issues in Victorian England, Abbott told a story that challenged readers to open their minds to new ideas. First published in 1884, the book sold out immediately and a second edition, with a new introduction by the author, was published a month later, and that is the edition included in this volume. More information about the background of the novel and its remarkable author can be found in the introduction to Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions in the Princeton Science Library edition, or one of the many other introductionsthat have appeared over the years in the dozens of editions in English, not to mention the more than twenty translations into foreign languages.
This introduction is aimed at readers who have read Flatland and who would like to compare it with the screenplay of Flatland: The Movie. When Abbott wrote the original, he had to rely on the imaginations of the readers for visualizing the universe he was describing. He provided only a few hand-drawn diagrams in the book. By contrast, the movie is full of richly textured images, and audiences will delight in discovering new details in repeated viewings. Just as we do not have to imagine what Harry Potter or Albus Dumbledore look like, or the details of the interior of the Great Hall at Hogwarts, we no longer have to rely on our imagination to picture the home or workplace of Arthur Square. The personalities of the characters were purposefully left undeveloped in the book, and they emerge in a much different way in the movie, both because of the rendition of the pictures and because of the power of the characters' voices.
Adapting this classic as a computer animated film challenged the creative team of Flatland: The Movie to engage a contemporary audience accustomed to modern conventions. As usual, writing a screenplay based on a book involves making a great many choices, not just what to include or leave out, but ways of introducing the characters and the world they live in, both in terms of the physical description of the surroundings and with regard to the issues and concerns that shape their society. Some viewers will look in vain for a favorite scene omitted from the final version, while others will delight in new elaborations of ideas only vaguely indicated in the book.
Both the book and the movie take on the task of presenting a new universe that probably was more strange in Victorian England than it is now. Two-dimensional worlds are more familiar to those who grew up with movies, television, and computer screens, even though the precursors of motion picture films were already in existence when the book first appeared. As animation techniques have evolved, audiences expect more and more from the visual effects in any modern adaptation, and Flatland: The Movie provides some great spectacles as background for a modern version of the story. Fractals adorn the two-dimensional landscape, and Arthur Square wonders, "Where in the Mandelbrot Set am I?" Even though he can't appreciate it from his original two-dimensional viewpoint, he might note the same repeated fractal patterns in the insides of his compatriots, upsetting as that might be: "I can see their insides and I'm going to be sick." The beautifully intricate cityscapes that we can see from our three-dimensional vantage point are even more impressive to Arthur, and eventually to Hex when they are brought up into the third dimension. The psychological message is made clear by Spherius: "Who would obey (the Circles') rules if they could see what you see?"
The temptation both in the book and in the movie is to take very seriously the questions about the details of a two-dimensional universe. How is it that Flatlanders move and carry things and eat and express affection? Abbott deals with a number of these questions in his book and then explains why he is not going further. Halfway through Flatland, at the beginning of Section 11, the narrator explains his decision:
"It is high time that I should pass from these brief and discursive notes about things in Flatland to the central event of this book, my initiation into the mysteries of Space. That is my subject; all that has gone before is merely preface."
"For this reason I must omit many matters of which the explanation would not, I flatter myself, be without interest for my Readers: as for example, our method of propelling and stopping ourselves, although destitute of feet; the means by which we give fixity to structures of wood, stone, or brick, although of course we have no hands, nor can we lay foundations as you can, nor avail ourselves of the lateral pressure of the earth; the manner in which the rain originates in the intervals between our various zones, so that the northern regions do not intercept the moisture from falling on the southern; the nature of our hills and mines, our trees and vegetables, our seasons and harvests; our Alphabet and method of writing, adapted to our linear tablets; these and a hundred other details of our physical existence I must pass over, nor do I mention them now except to indicate to my readers that their omission proceeds not from forgetfulness on the part of the author, but from his regard for the time of the Reader."
That list of things that the narrator chooses not to explain in the book includes a number of challenges that the creators of Flatland: The Movie had to face. Each time a viewer sees the film, new images come into focus. As some questions are answered, others suggest themselves. Viewers of the film and readers of the screenplay will find many topics for discussion and possible projects for groups or individuals in a class that uses the book and the movie to stimulate imagination. Although the story itself did not choose to tackle all the questions about the physics and physiology of Flatland, many readers of the book have taken up the challenge to imagine two-dimensional analogues of three-dimensional counterparts. Many very good examples of this exercise are included in The Planiverse, a novel by Alexander Dewdney inspired by a column he wrote for Scientific American on two-dimensional science and technology. Teachers often suggest to their students the project of designing something for the plane world that would correspond to an amusement park or a chemistry laboratory. The creators of Flatland: The Movie obviously enjoyed devising analogues of a fishbowl or a Tiffany lamp or a subway car, or the entire furnishings of a Flatland Victorian home. Like Abbott, they do not overly concern themselves with what keeps the water in the bowl or how tasers work in the plane. Not all of the questions can be answered in the film of course, and some readers will have a field day pursuing any number of them.
There are some major differences between the story in the book and the story in the film, some occasioned by the differences in our current attitudes toward societal issues and some that represent necessary abridgement of the occasionally detailed story line.
Most obvious is the treatment of women. A close reading of the original book makes it clear that the author is on the right side of this issue although the narrator's words reflect the prevailing Victorian habit of ignoring one whole dimension of women's existence. Debates in the popular press argued whether or not women should be allowed to attend college, and Abbott, as an educator, worked hard to provide educational opportunities for women as well as men. He was blocked in his efforts by the university establishment of his day, and that frustration is mirrored in the satirical treatment of Flatland society. A. Square firmly believes that men are intellectually superior to women, especially in rational argument, and he discounts and dismisses the qualities that are associated with women, for example compassion, loyalty, and affection. It is clear that Abbott is a believer in education that encompasses both the rational and the intuitive, and the artificial separation of these two ways of knowing is taken to absurd lengths in his novel.
So, how does the creative team of Flatland: The Movie approach the problem? Unfortunately there is still discrimination against women, even in our day, but the straight line motif does not work as well as a satirical device. More pertinently, it does not work from a cinematographic viewpoint since it is very difficult to get a one-dimensional creature to express emotions visually or to interact with a polygonal being. (Witness the encounter of Arthur Square with the jive-talking King of Lineland.) In this movie, men and women are all polygons. Arthur Square's wife Arlene is also a square, even though she still is the one in the house hold who shows compassion and understanding to a much greater degree than her authority-worshipping and somewhat impulsive husband. These are modern stereotypes of course, and can it be mere chance that Arthur is blue and Arlene pink? An even bigger change is the fact that the precocious grandchild in the story is now a granddaughter, Hex. Her color is yellow-orange, possibly in deference to the experience of whole generations of students who grew up using yellow hexagon blocks in kindergarten.
There are implied social rules in this new version of Flatland; for example, when Hex describes the rules of inheritance so that the children of two squares will be pentagons and a pentagonal married couple will produce hexagonal sons and daughters. Why should a husband and wife have the same number of sides? Is it a biological necessity, or social convention, or some law?
Another major difference between the film and the book has to do with the Isosceles class. In the original Flatland, there was a separate hierarchy amid the lower classes, all of them isosceles but distinguished by the size of their vertex angle. The butler would certainly lord it over a footman or trash collector, and this class consciousness at all levels was a popular feature of Victorian literature.
In the movie, this entire substructure is eliminated. All isosceles triangles seem to have approximately the same angle. Hex says, "Isosceles parents have equilateral children," as the first step in the upward social mobility in both the book and the movie, stating that a child has one more side (at least) than the parent. In the book, only an isosceles triangle with angle nearly equal to sixty degrees could expect to sire an equilateral son who then could be eligible to enter an entirely new level of society. In the movie, one might wonder where isosceles children come from. Presumably only some of the progeny of isosceles parents are equilateral and most of them are again isosceles, in order to account for the larger numbers of individuals in the lower classes. What Hex says is not wrong, just not completely accurate (assuming that we can discover the implied and unstated rules by deduction from observations).
Another major difference is that the figures in the movie have personalities, something deliberately downplayed in the book. Abbott purposefully made his Flatland society dull, whereas Flatland: The Movie is definitely rich in texture. The most obvious manifestation of this is the soundtrack, with a sweeping musical score and the recognizable voices of professional actors. Even before we see them in the extra features on the DVD, we recognize levels of intonation and emphasis, excitement and perturbation, in their interactions. This is true for the minor characters as well as the star, for example when Arthur's circular supervisor, Ms. Helios, speaks so threateningly (reminiscent of Roz, the supervisor in Monsters, Inc., whose voice happened to be provided by a male actor). One of the great virtues of a DVD is being able to see the interviews with the actors and to connect them with their voices. The DVD of Flatland: The Movie has the additional advantage that we hear the principal actors commenting on the story and about their own commitment to educational communication. Watching the body language of Tony Hale reading the part of the solipsistic King of Pointland adds incredibly to the experience of seeing the movie again. When Kristen Bell says, "Sweet," you can feel her appreciative excitement even more for having seen the interview. Seeing the interviews of real-life brothers Martin Sheen and Joe Estevez definitely makes their movie dialogues more meaningful, and Michael York's British delivery presents a properly superior, although not perfectly sympathetic Spherius.
One cinematographic device is initially disconcerting to a mathematician watching the film, and that is the apparent reversal of orientation that makes it possible for Arthur and Abbott Square to face each other at one time and to be looking in the same direction other times. In order to get from a picture of a right hand on a page to its left-handed mirror image, it is necessary to take up the figure from the plane into three-space, turn it over, and then to replace it on the plane. How can it happen in the movie that a figure can be looking left at one time and right at another? It is clear that it is desirable from the point of view of social interaction that a figure should not have to turn upside down in order to face another figure. Dano Johnson solved that problem in a particularly effective way-that he describes in his comments-namely that in fact each polygon has one eye, roughly in the center of one side, and two mouths, only the lower one of which is open at any particular time, so that the closed mouth is not apparent. That is really clever.
Another device that enables the cinematographer to inject some emotion is the blinking of the eyes, something that can't technically be done since an eyelid in Flatland would be a one-dimensional membrane that would come down over the exposed arc of the circular orb, not something that would "cover" the interior of the eye. One can imagine a defense for this, by saying that what really happens is that the eye clouds over occasionally, something mathematically possible that is represented by what looks like an eyelid covering the eye. Or one can just remind the reader that not all details can be dwelt upon.
Perhaps the largest difference between the book and the movie is the ending. Abbott's hero is definitely in a depressed state as he writes his memoir, languishing in a jail cell for seven years, only occasionally being visited by his brother, a fellow convict who can't really appreciate any of A. Square's attempts to express what he experienced in his brief visit to the third dimension.
The movie, on the other hand, ends on an up-note, with Hex revealed as the Apostle of the Third Dimension, quite confident that she can give a full account of her Spaceland visitation, as well as the theoretical underpinnings of the theory of three dimensions as developed by her absent mother (shades of Harry Potter?). The ending does come swiftly, with all its hope for a new world order.

Muncie, IN
Netflix's increasingly bold programming moves could be taking the video streaming service to Hyrule.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the company is in the "very early stages of development" on a live-action series based on the blockbuster video-game franchise The Legend of Zelda.
The newspaper's unnamed source contends Netflix is characterizing the fantasy-adventure as "Game of Thrones for a family audience." No writer is attached, and The Journal cautions the project could die just as quickly as it started.
Netflix is reportedly working with Nintendo, which has resisted licensing its properties since the 1993 live-action flop Super Mario Bros. However, as we learned in December, the Japanese game developer appears to be opening up to overtures from Hollywood, and has had discussions with producer Avi Arad about an animated Super Mario Bros. movie.
Debuting in 1986, The Legend of Zelda centers on Link, an ordinary in the fantasy world of Hyrule who must rescue Princess Zelda from the antagonist Ganondorf.
A 13-episode Legend of Zelda animated series aired in syndication in 1989.
this is such a terrible idea
No, thank you.
you guys are negative nellies in the highly unlikely chance they do this right it will be amazing
I would have preferred a new animated series, but I'll certainly give this a chance if it gets made.
Well, excuuuuuuuse me, Princess.
Who's playing Navi? LOOK LOOK LISTEN LOOK LOOK
If it's well-written and well-cast, it could be good.
The great thing about Zelda games is every few years there's a completely new version of Link and Zelda. Just about every Nintendo console changes the series. The Link, Zelda and Impa for your old NES aren't the same ones on your N64, and they aren't the same ones on your Wii and upcoming Wii U, either.
Link from Ocarina of Time is not Skyward Sword Link is not Wind Waker Link is not TLoZ Link is not CDi Link (thankfully) is not original Animated Series Link is not Phantom Hourglass Link…we've had old woman Hylian Impa, we've had younger warrior Impa, last of the Shiekahs…you get the idea.
This show could be a flop or something really cool. Or in between, just meh. But whatever it is, it's just another version of characters we've had tons of versions of before so in that light, it's not a huge deal. Unless it turns out to be awesome and is a huge deal. Look at how many versions of Spider-Man and Batman we get. Avengers have had TWO cartoons since the movie. It'll be ok.

We constantly depend on our computers to save the hundreds of hours of accumulated work we produce each year. Are you better served having your files stored off-site instead of saved at your home or workplace? With this in mind, you may want to revise your storage strategy to include options of saving your files literally off-site on remote servers, often referred to as "cloud" storage.
To help us through the "fog" of various storage options in "the cloud", DACS member and presenter Drew Kwashnak will explain what cloud storage actually is, and how it works. Since getting his own Google Chromebook, which relies heavily on cloud based applications and storage; he has developed a unique perspective and insight into the growing trend of cloud services.
For full details including directions and parking information visit the DACS website at http://www.dacs.org.
Drew is an Cloud Storage and Cloud App expert. He addressed many of the attendees questions handily. Too bad his presentation was interrupted by too many off-topic questions and discussion from the attendees. I would have welcomed more explanation about the difference between a hosted FTP site, a WebDAV folder, and Cloud Storage. The aftermeeting gathering at Chili's was fun.

Skip to comments.Are the Interstate Highways next?
Posted on 10/07/2013 9:32:13 AM PDT by Lowcountry
Based on the thuggish Federal closings of open air monuments and National Parks, is it feasible the feds could TRY shut down the Interstate Highway system?
shhhhhhh....don't give 'em any ideas!
They are going to close the DC Beltway?
No. Although partial funding for the IHS was provided by the feds, the states are responsible for law enforcement. Ever see an FBI agent write a ticket?
Apparently the FED has also shut down the Atlantic Ocean somewhere in FL. Heard it this morning on the way to work from a local Talk Radio guy. No fishing and no Charters. the FED will be patrolling. The reference was a Breitbart article but I haven't seen it.
From what I am seeing, we should make it priority to defund and disband the Park Service. And Forestry. And BLM.
Return the land to the states.
Yeah, and the airports too.
Ordinarily I would just pas this off as a nuisance comment. But not any more.................
Maintained by the state from gas taxes, so I don't think so.
I wouldn't put anything past them,,,including shutting down the highway system to stop food supplies from being delivered to stores.
The WH needs to be shut down - for sure!!
...and at what point does Obama p!$$ everyone off?
Oh, he'll find a way, especially since it's named after Eisenhower!
Shutting down Christmas celebrations?
Just shut down the interstates only in Las Angles ...
Never, as long as the polls and his focus groups keep saying it's everyone else's fault.
It would certainly be a hoot if they tried...
It would crash the economy of the nation within 3 days. And it might make the union OTR truckers a bit grumpy.
Maintained by the state from gas taxes, so I dont think so.
Doesn't mean anything.
"NPS Orders Closure of Park that Receives No Federal Funding"
This park will probably be driven out of business and never be able to reopen again.
They shutdown the entire Florida Bay. From the Everglades to Key West. No Fishing, Boating or use of the waters of any kind. This is crazy... This is TYRANNY plain and simple.
...and at what point does Obama p!$$ everyone off?
There is no such point.
That would stop the government from looting the incomes of the American private sector..
So that will never ever happen.
Tried to close florida bay
That would only happen if the WH thought it would help win in 2014.
Let them try it...
See the beloved "Separation of church and state", ACLU would have a field day
He might selectively close roads in areas that voted for GOP or have GOP Senators/Reps.
For those who live east of the Mississippi, there are vast portions of western states which are controlled by the Feds.
NO taxes are paid from these lands, either. Nevada land mass is 87% controlled by the Feds. Utah is about 82% the same. IF you take time to look at really detailed maps, you will see that millions of acres of forests, desert, and canyons are controlled by the Feds. Where I live, the BLM controls wide areas of desert and they can shut it down if they can find enough persons to enforce the shutdown.
Millions of acres are leased to ranchers for grazing, and they can cause havoc with that, also.
Utah is trying to get back their Fed controlled land, but the guy leading that push isn't getting much support.
Maybe this weeks actions by rangers will change that.
Pero tengo mis conductores licencia!
On another thread over the weekend, Freepers in Michigan reported that the Feds were trying to shut down COUNTY roads leading to various seashore parks.
requires mass disobedience. fedgov doesn't control the ocean.
This President has no scruples. He announced today that he's sending Nancy Pelosi out to the Head Start programs....AND SHE WON'T BE WEARING ANY MAKEUP!!!!! Harry Reid doesn't care about dying kids, but this is ruthless! Children running and screaming, "Make the bad old woman go away!" The horror.....the horror.....
imagine is gwb tried this. you'd see reid and schumer and pelosi and hillary screaming 'who the hell does this little dictator think he is?!?!' you'd see the media running stories about how our govt is dead, how this is not how it's supposed to be, how it's killing the economy, how it's soviet-style totalitarianism....
on every tv news segment.
someone needs to tell pelosi the day to scare children is october 31st.
True. He closed the Florida Bay (West Coast) and Biscayne Bay (East Coast).
Nah, next to be shutdown is airspace. We already have precedence for that.
I am sure the boys down in the keys are sitting on the docks looking at their boats. /s
Short of taking out bridges its virtually impossible.
US Hiways belong to the states.
At the very beginning, there were those who said the constitution did not allow for expenditures for hiways.
The issue was resolved by turning the first, the national pike from cumberland d to vandalia il to the states. The feds provided engineering and some money to the states.
Exactly. Plus lands seized by eminent domain to their original owners.
I know. This is Tyranny. People have no idea what is to come. If this is accepted now it is going to embolden the feds big time.
I believe that "we the people" own all of these federal lands - not "the government". How can shutting down the bureaucracies shut down an unmanned asset owned by the people?
I hope the clown tries.
That's right. And the Feds have *never* been known to horn in on states' jurisdictions, right?
I would not be surprised.
Last week I was thinking Team Petulant would at least try to shut down the Interstate highway overpasses and bridges.
As birth certificates are issued by the government, until the evil Republicans relent and end the government shutdown, there will be no birthday celebrations. That is all.
Wonder how the hell much added tax dollars are being squandered to 'enforce' the gov't shutdown? Coupled with the hypocrisy of what "essential" items are selectively being left open.
I hope he shuts down everything. The faster he does it the sooner congress will achieve a veto proof majority and "affordable" health care will be gone. Hopefully he will be gone, too. There is no way he is stupid enough to take it that far, but I'm hoping he is arrogant enough; I think we have a shot there.

(LAS VEGAS, CA) -- Getting into the Christmas spirit will be a little easier this year with the latest items from Las Vegas Novelties. LVNI is now shipping the Ron Jeremy greeting card collection. This series of cards features four holiday periods: Christmas, Valentine's Day, St Patrick's day and Fourth of July/party time! Additional cards will be added in the coming months.
LVNI owner Serenity comments, "This was the quickest we've ever put something out. We shot photography in late September to the punch-lines that Ron came up with. Ron was right on in every shot! We are extremely happy with how they came out and the initial reaction to the cards has been overwhelming!"
In addition to the Ron Jeremy cards, Las Vegas Novelties is now shipping "The Palm Pal Vibro" series. These three items are multi-speed micro vibes with a wrist strap that come with Astroglide lubricant and feature all of the VCA Pictures' girls.
Also available is the Tawny Roberts' "Sex in the City" kit. This has a Tuxedo Condom, Astroglide and a retractable lipstick vibrator. Las Vegas Novelties is the only licensed company in the Us to feature this patented item.
Serenity adds, "The colors of the Palm Vibes are stunning and sales have been strong. We showed the lipstick vibe at the recent ANME show and reaction was very positive. We then had discussions with David Coolidge, the owner of the patent, and were granted an exclusive licensing deal for it. We have very successful partnerships with VCA and Astroglide, among others. We expect this one will be just as successful"
"Chloe's Fist of Fury" is also shipping. LVNI molded the multi-award winning star and included a comfort grip handle. Serenity tells the story: " Chloe came to us and said she had a hard time fisting herself because the fists were too big and she couldn't get a grip. So we molded her to the correct position, added a handle, a dash of beautiful packaging and a durable clamshell. As it says on the package, Pure Chloe! Good to the last knuckle"
Stores and home parties looking for the Ron Jeremy cards and these additional new and exciting items, should contact their distributors or contact Las Vegas Novelties at email@example.com. More information as well as the entire Ron Jeremy card collection can be found at LasVegasNovelties.com.
Press inquiries should contact Seth Andrea McCoy at 702.526.7889 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

how can we do ajax file uploading in html through javascript??
how can we do ajax file uploading in html through javascript??
Technically, you can't. JavaScript cannot access local files on the filesystem as a security measure. You can, however, use a method that utilizes Flash or an IFRAME element to approximate an "Ajax file upload". There are dozens if not hundreds of good tutorials, examples and frameworks online for this. Please do a basic Google search.
This can be done with Firefox 3.6+

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Elway, Sanders first-year eligibles on Hall of Fame list
CANTON, Ohio - John Elway, the NFL's second all-time leading passer, and Barry Sanders, the third all-time leading rusher, are among the first-year eligibles on the Pro Football Hall of Fame's nomination list for the Class of 2004.
Selectors will choose 23 semifinalists among the 67 former players, coaches and contributors who make up the preliminary list of nominees. Former New York Giants linebacker Harry Carson and former Giants general manager George Young are automatic finalists because they finished in the top-six in the voting last year.
Elway is synonymous with the Denver Broncos, playing 16 years with the franchise and passing for 51,475 yards and 300 touchdowns, which is fourth all-time. Elway's passing yards are second only to Dan Marino's total of 61,361 yards.
Elway and Marino headed the famed quarterback class of 1983. Elway retired after the Broncos won the second of two straight Super Bowls in 1998.
Sanders appeared to be on his way to becoming the NFL's all-time leading rusher, recording 15,269 yards and 99 touchdowns in 10 years with the Detroit Lions. However, he retired after the 1998 season and is third on the all-time list behind Emmitt Smith (17,354) and Walter Payton (16,726).
Other first-year eligible candidates joining Elway and Sanders for consideration are wide receiver Henry Ellard and cornerback Albert Lewis. Ellard had 814 receptions for 13,777 yards.
The list of semifinalists will be reduced to 13 modern-era candidates, including Carson and Young. That will increase to 15 finalists with the addition of two previously announced Senior Committee nominees, Bob Brown and Bob Hayes.
The voting for the Class of 2004 will be held on Saturday, January 31, the day before Super Bowl XXXVIII in Houston.

More Interview Questions and Answers
Why did you only stay with this organization for such a short time?
Alternative and related questions:
Why did you leave that job?
Have you ever been made redundant and, if so, why?
Have you ever been fired?
The meaning behind the question:
This question is related to a question we've already previously covered, 'Why did you leave that job?' The difference here is clearly that they're curious as to, not only why you left that job, but also why you left it after 'such a short time', the definition of a 'short time' varying of course. The interviewer is hunting again for possible skeletons in your cupboard...
Your answer:
If you only stayed in a job for a short time then there was obviously a reason for this – but it may not necessarily be a positive selling point for you. Employers are always wary of hiring people who might not stay for long and especially people who have done a fair bit of 'job-hopping' in the past.
If the answer to the question is that you were either made redundant or fired then please refer back to question no. 27 in Chapter 3 where I cover how to handle these specific cases.
However, if you left of your own volition then why? Problems with your boss? Problems with a colleague? To deal with these, I'd suggest you refer back to the advice given under the top 10 question in Chapter 2, "Why do you wish to leave your current position?"
But there are of course many other possible reasons, for example:
- You found the job you took didn't turn out to be 'as advertised'.
- You found the job you took changed dramatically, for example due to restructuring.
- The next job you took was an opportunity not to be missed.
My advice is very simple. Just tell it like it is. You made a positive move for positive reasons with the intention of achieving a positive outcome – simple as that.
Shortly after I started with the company, external management consultants were called in and tasked with undertaking a major restructuring. While my role wasn't made redundant as such, it did change out of all recognition and it simply wasn't the job I signed up for. In particular, the marketing element was completely removed from my job description and yet that is my main interest and was what I had hoped I would be focussing on when I initially agreed to take the job. I therefore felt I had to look for a new job, one which would enable me to continue on my desired career path – and that led to my successfully being hired for my next job.
Word of warning:
As always, don't let this question tempt you into saying anything negative or critical of any previous employers you have had.

The present paper investigates how cognitive projection processes instigate social identification. We complement the classical self-stereotyping approach (i.e., conforming to prototypical group norms) by investigating self-anchoring (i.e., projection from self to group) as a distinct cognitive route to social identification. Self-anchoring has mainly been investigated as predictor of intergroup differentiation. Surprisingly, no reliable link has been provided yet between self-anchoring and social identification. In Study 1, we provide first evidence for this positive link. In Study 2, we add self-stereotyping to our model and show that self-anchoring is still positively related to social identification when controlling for self-stereotyping. Additionally, we show that self-anchoring is positively related to affective components of identification, while self-stereotyping is positively related to cognitive components. Moreover, we examined the impact of self-concept stability on self-anchoring. Self-concept stability was positively related to self-anchoring, and hence to social identification (Study 1), independently from self-stereotyping (Study 2). In the discussion, we argue that disentangling self-anchoring from self-stereotyping is important as it increases our insight in how people identify, and how this may vary depending on self-concept and group context.

Crabtree Falls
Crabtree Falls is about 1 hour from Lynchburg and is arguably the most beautiful waterfall in Virginia. It is the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi and is a must see. The falls were named after William Crabtree who settled in the area in 1777. The hike to the top of the falls will take about 3-4 hours and the return trip down will take about half that time. There is parking at the bottom of the falls for about 20 cars and the last time we hiked it there was a parking fee of $7.00 (take cash or check and a pen to deposit the fee in box and mark which space you are parked in-honor system). There are restrooms at the bottom of the falls. During the hike you will be climbing almost 1400 feet in elevation. Most of the trail is along the falls although there are a number of switch backs. Wear a good pair of hiking boots and socks and take lots of water with you as there are no concessions stands to buy water. Take your camera, the scenery is beautiful! Since we have lived in Lynchburg several people have died when climbing on the rocks in the falls so we advise our guests to stay on the trails. The hike is moderate difficulty. This is a good way to burn lots of calories. According to a calorie calculator you will burn 1500 calories so don't worry about eating too much at breakfast!
To reach the falls from The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast (directions from Mapquest):
- Take the D Street Bridge Go .2 miles
- Turn Left onto Rivermont Ave Go .3 miles
- Turn Left onto 5th Street (changes to VA 163) Go 1.1 miles
- Turn Right onto VA 210 (at light) Go 3.1 miles
- Turn Left onto US-29 (don't take US 29 business) G0 16.2 miles
- Turn Left onto VA-151 (Patrick Henry Highway) Go 10.6 miles
- Turn Left onto Crabtree Falls Highway (VA-56) Go 14.5 miles
- Follow signs to parking area
