Yeah, I've been meaning to address this, myself. With all the excitement over Dofla, the marines, and now Big Mom, we should not overlook the agents skulking around in the shadows. We still don't really know the reason why CP0 is apparently conspiring with Dofla in the first place (though I think it can be certain that it's at least connected to his former noble status), but those guys could be ready to strike from nowhere at any time. And considering that they were introduced as the "world's strongest intelligence agency", it's very possible that those guys may be no less of a threat as an admiral......

Right, let's weaken the presence of the new generation of marines under Akainu's regime by having one of its new admirals taken out in the very arc he's introduced in. Of COURSE that's the direction Oda is going with this.

Wow Zoro makes is first stand against an admiral and it Armageddon for everyone in the Admiral rank. How strong did you guys expect Zoro to be after his two year time skip? Did you want another timeskip before they could face off against an admiral?
Kidd Alliance and any one else waiting in line?
I wonder if Kidd will show up? I know it sounds weird but he also saw the Underground Video. Kidd is going after Big Momma and her ships. Maybe he wants Ceaser too. Right now I am having a hard time determining were this is going. So many people showing up trying to get there share of the spoils. I can see Kidd attacking the ship right now giving Sanji and the crew time to escape. Right now with Oda throwing so many curve balls Kaidou won't be a surprise if he shows up in person, after all this Smile factory is also his deal has well. If Kidd shows up will X Drake show up has well?
That kid is a mystery but I am thinking Daflamingo is after him because he is the first actually successful Devil fruit project. I can't see any other reason why Daflamingo wants him.

I think Zoro as well as luffy are on equal terms with an admiral. At least they could hold their ground when fighting of that level. It will be decided on how they will cleverly use thier abilitiesa against thier opponents.
Also Fujitora is old and has a lot of experience in fighting than zoro

at most they can solo shichubukais but if they want to beat the admirals probably gonna need to 9-man team it.

There is no need for Fujitora to be defeated or Zoro be defeated by him. You people just doesn't seem to appreciate build up of tension. Whole this admiral level this shichubukai level that -crap servers no purpose.
I like Fujitoras character and I love strong enemies in general and best way to build up awesomeness is to tease us with new strong characters and deal with them in later arcs.
It's not about are they able to take on an admiral, Zoro already demonstrated that they are.. at least on some level we don't know yet.
I'm not in hurry to see end of this manga since this stuff really works unlike Naruto that has turn into complete cheese cake of shit.

Here's my Theory of why Big mam wants ceasar
Now lets go wayyy back when ceasar was broadcasting his experiment, from what we could gather...pekoms and tamago was shown watching the whole thing along with kidd and several others but its clear from this point forward the big mam pirates had a keen interest of what was taking place in punk hazard, i knew at some point big mam was somehow involved in all this and here's my take why...ceasar mentioned he swindled big mam out of money for his research and my thesis is ceasar worked with big mam prio to doflamingo, if you look at what ceasar was working on, it somehow connects to big mam or follows on by her whole candy loving eating acidic gigantic theme and i think shinokuni (someone in the comment mentioned this and i liked this idea) was developed for her cause along with the growth hormone candies (i think she overdosed on em coz she is humongous) and maybe she wanted to turn her crew bigger (more meat for that damn carnival) and shinokuni made people turn into white thingey maybe that was a way for her to eat an entire population, i think those where the projects he was working on to cater her interests and continued to while he served kaido with his smileys...to me it didn't really connect much with the other SMILEY project i think thats what doflamingo used to gain kaido's interest and put kaido under his protection from big mam after he stole ceasar, the smiley projects befits the 100 man beast kaido's title. It makes sense because it would be too much of a risk for big mam to pursue ceasar for vengeance if kaido and the navy is involved because of doflamingo and i think thats why ceasar is such an important element in this story and it also explains why doflamingo NEEDS him so much to protect his sorry ass coz lets face it, doflamingo cant front in front of 2 emperors after him hence why he was scared shitless, its not that he was solery scared of kaido going after him, he knew big mam would hunt him down too as he dont have that protection from kaido anymore once ceasar was kidnapped. Among all the confusion and whats happened, i see why big mam has taken this opportunity to make her move, first of all once the word went out that doflamingo resigned (people outside of dressrosa dont know it was all a faux) and after pekom and tamago watched the whole show unfold in punk hazard, they figured out ceasar was kidnapped and they took that opportunity to go after him (they take ceasar out and kaido has no means of gaining anymore military advantage and she gets her vengeance, kaido will either go after big mam here or doflamingo) anyway i also think kidd and the alliance are about to make their entrance soon too now coz i think the emperor they are after is big mam and it makes sense coz luffy and his crew are out-numbered, kidd's alliance + luffy will even out things a little. =]

The bubble gave Luffy air, but no mobility, or reach, so all he could do was try to dodge to avoid breaking the bubble.
Put Zoro or Sanji in there, and it would have been over in seconds.

I've said it before -- Doflamingo will be anywhere from high-high tier to low-top tier. But that is NOT admiral level. It was clearly portrayed on Punk Hazard that Kuzan is superior to Doflamingo. And then we've been getting bits and pieces of Doflamingo's combat prowess in the Dressrosa arc, which also suggest he's NOT admiral level. So the only question that remains is how Luffy will defeat the birdman (the sinister warlord's fall is inevitable, after all). I presume he's really going to struggle with this fight (probably his toughest fight yet), as I see Doflamingo being the first real test in the New World.
That being said, it's not like the strawhats are completely helpless against an admiral anymore. The stronger ones can at least now defend themselves and hold their own for a while. At this point of the story and considering how much they've progressed over the time-skip, I'd say that's a reasonable assessment of their power.

Which is why i don't think of Hody as anything truly impressive, only reason he was any kind of threat was because Luffy was basically nerfed for the fight.
Put an admiral who is a devil fruit user (if there even are any who are not) in the same situation, and they would not really fare much better.
The whole sidetrack we're on started because someone mentioned Luffy struggling against Hody Jones as one of the reasons why they could not win against an admiral.
Personally i find it unlikely that they could win against admiral one on one, but i would not put it impossible, considering how the Strawhats are almost always punching at people who should be higher in power scale than them.
Still, it is a bit early for fghting, and winning, against an admiral solo, but it's not that far off anymore either (story time, in real time it can be anywhere in next couple decades ).

And even if Linlin is Lola's mum, Oda would make it happen in a believable and enjoying way. I remember back in the Water Seven Arc, Oda announced the death of a Nakama. Many people said it would be totally weak and cheated if the Merry was said Nakama. In the end, everyone posted that they cried over the death of a ship

In Part 4 of this series, we saw that Theodore Drange interpreted Christian theologian Charles Hodge to be arguing as follows ("Why Resurrect Jesus?" in The Empty Tomb, p. 56) : (2a) (JRD) is a sufficient condition for (JSG). Therefore: (1a) (JRD) is a necessary condition for (JSG). ============ Abbreviations: (JRD) Jesus rose from the dead. (JSG) Jesus is the divine Son of God. ============ In terms of symbolic logic, the argument is this: (2b) (JRD) (JSG). Therefore: (1b) (JSG … [Read more...]
The Logic of the Resurrection – Part 6
What is Faith? – Part 9
Here are some key points from the first section (Relation of Faith to Reason) of Geisler's article "Faith and Reason" (Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics, p. 239; hereafter: BECA):The contents of faith "are above reason." and so must be revealed to humans by God. Faith "involves will (freedom) and reason doesn't coerce the will". Some theological truths "have been proved demonstratively" and can be based on reason, such as the existence of God.If we take the second point in … [Read more...]
The Logic of the Resurrection – Index
The Logic of the Resurrection - Part 1Different assumptions about the existence of God have different implications concerning the resurrection.The Logic of the Resurrection - Part 2As Richard Swinburne has pointed out, a complete case for the resurrection must be a three-legged stool, resting upon general background evidence, prior historical evidence, and posterior historical evidence.The Logic of the Resurrection - Part 3The logic of the resurrection apologetic is … [Read more...]
The Logic of the Resurrection – Part 5
Before I continue to examine Theodore Drange's excellent article "Why Resurrect Jesus?" (The Empty Tomb, p. 55-67), I want to reinforce a key point: an important but neglected aspect of the case for the resurrection of Jesus is what Swinburne calls General Background Evidence, specifically reasons and evidence related to God's alleged purposes.I would ammend the title of Drange's article slightly to: "Why would God Resurrect Someone?" Unless and until a plausible and defensible argument can … [Read more...]
Another Terrible Atheist Debate Performance
I originally planned to blog my thoughts about this oral debate while I was watching it. Then after I had a rather nasty exchange on Twitter with the atheist debater, I said I wasn't going to write about him anytime soon. Then I thought about it some more. I realized the only reason I was going to engage in self-censorship was to avoid all of the drama associated with criticizing anything to do with this individual's arguments, blog posts, books, or debates. "That's a really bad reason to say … [Read more...]
What is Faith? – Part 8
In the Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics (1999; hereafter: BECA), Geisler has written a fairly long and detailed article on "Faith and Reason", and the entire article is basically an exposition of the views of Aquinas about faith and the relationship between faith and reason.There are nine bolded subheadings in Geisler's article on "Faith and Reason":1. Relation of Faith to Reason 2. Three Uses of Reason 3. Divine Authority 4. Reason in Support of Faith 5. Distinguishing Fai … [Read more...]
The Logic of the Resurrection – Part 4
One of the neglected aspects of the case for the resurrection of Jesus is what Swinburne calls General Background Evidence. I have summarize this part of the case this way: (GTE) The God of traditional theism exists.(GPR) God, if God exists, has purposes P1, P2, etc. that are relevant to whether God would be likely to raise someone from the dead.(GLR) God would be likely to raise someone from the dead … [Read more...]
The Logic of the Resurrection – Part 3
The logic of the resurrection apologetic goes roughly like this: NOTE: This does not represent Swinburne's case for the resurrection. It is a rough representation of a case for the resurrection that follows the general logic laid out by Swinburne (constituting a three-legged stool).==============KEY TO DIAGRAM(DOC) Jesus died on the cross on the same day he was crucified.(JAW) Jesus was alive and walking around (unassisted) about 48 hours after he was … [Read more...]

Lacuna model
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The lacuna model is a tool for unlocking culture differences or missing "gaps" in text (in the further meaning). The lacuna model was established as a theory by Jurij Sorokin and Irina Markovina (Russia), further developed by Astrid Ertelt-Vieth and Hartmut Schröder (Germany) and practical research tested in ethnopsycholinguistics (Igor Panasiuk 2000 and 2005), Russian studies (Vladimir Zhelvis 2002; Astrid Ertelt-Vieth 1987; 2005), American studies (Iosif Sternin and Marina Sternina 2001), Arabic studies (Sherine Elsayed 2005), Germanics studies (Elena Denisova-Schmidt 2005), Finnish studies (Pirkko Muikku-Werner 2005), literature studies (Irina Markovina 2005), foreign language acquisition (Natalia Turunen 2005), film studies (Hannah Sard 2005), journalism (B. Dellinger 1995; Myles Ludwig and Erika Grodzki 2005), translation studies (Susanne Becker 2005), cultural studies (Gwenn Gundula Hiller 2005), advertising research (Erika Grodzki 2003), and human resource management (Mariola Kaplanek 2005).
There are a few classifications of lacunas in existence. Astrid Ertelt-Vieth (2005) labels the first dimension (three major categories as: mental lacunas, activity lacunas and object lacunas) and the second dimension (axiological lacunas) of all lacunas.
- Mental lacunas are differences in cognitive and affective states.
- Lacunas of activity recognize different ways of processing information, talking, moving, as well as other activities.
- Object lacunas are the differences in objects, the human body, and the environment.
- Axiological lacunas are cultural based meaning/understanding of all mentioned above lacunas.
All lacunas could be confrontative, contrastive, implicit, explicit, relative, profound, absolute, relational and structural.

Customer Reviews for Oslo Day Spa (3)
February 14, 2011
Dissapointed Services.
Hi, I bought a groupon from this Oslo Salon and Day Spa in Tacoma. When I walked in I was not greeted at all nicely,I already felt that their personal life behind the desk was more important than their customers. I received a pedicure treatment.I was hoping to have the bubbly tub tickling my aching feet,but I got a foot soak in a tub of water.It was a disappointment that I could have done this myself. I was rushed out from my services that I received.The blond hair older woman receptionist did a poor job greeting and checking out clients,at least for me. I will not come back and I will also tell my friends what a disappointment this salon has done with my service.
October 29, 2010
Oslo Salon is the Best EVVVVVVVEEERRR!!!
Lynn the owner is an awesome really down to earth person and her employees are a pleasant crew to see. Customer service has been wonderful. I highly recommned anyone and everyone to come to Oslo and experience a great time there! They also now have the Seattle Sugar Bar partnered in the salon so come and get in also to get sugared. It really is sweeter than waxing!!! Very happy experience overall!!

Ghazali and the Poetics of Imaginationby Ebrahim Moosa
Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, a Muslim jurist-theologian and polymath who lived from the mid-eleventh to the early twelfth century in present-day Iran, is a figure equivalent in stature to Maimonides in Judaism and Thomas Aquinas in Christianity. He is best known for his work in philosophy, ethics, law, and mysticism. In an engaged re-reading of the ideas of this preeminent Muslim thinker, Ebrahim Moosa argues that Ghazali's work has lasting relevance today as a model for a critical encounter with the Muslim intellectual tradition in a modern and postmodern context. Moosa employs the theme of the threshold, or dihliz, the space from which Ghazali himself engaged the different currents of thought in his day, and proposes that contemporary Muslims who wish to place their own traditions in conversation with modern traditions consider the same vantage point. Moosa argues that by incorporating elements of Islamic theology, neoplatonic mysticism, and Aristotelian philosophy, Ghazali's work epitomizes the idea that the answers to life's complex realities do not reside in a single culture or intellectual tradition. Ghazali's emphasis on poiesis--creativity, imagination, and freedom of thought--provides a sorely needed model for a cosmopolitan intellectual renewal among Muslims, Moosa argues. Such a creative and critical inheritance, he concludes, ought to be heeded by those who seek to cultivate Muslim intellectual traditions in today's tumultuous world.
The Princeton Encyclopedia of Islamic Political Thoughtby Robert W. Hefner Roxanne L. Euben Timur Kuran David Cook Muhammad Qasim Zaman Patricia Crone Khaled Fahmy Devin J. Stewart Bernard Haykel Frank Griffel Jane Mcauliffe Gerhard Bowering Wadad Kadi Richard Bulliet Ebrahim Moosa Mahan Mirza

With more than 400 alphabetically arranged entries written by an international team of specialists, the volume focuses on the origins and evolution of Islamic political ideas and related subjects, covering central terms, concepts, personalities, movements, places, and schools of thought across Islamic history. Fifteen major entries provide a synthetic treatment of key topics, such as Muhammad, jihad, authority, gender, culture, minorities, fundamentalism, and pluralism.

What Is a Madrasa?by Ebrahim Moosa
Taking us inside the world of the madrasa--the most common type of school for religious instruction in the Islamic world--Ebrahim Moosa provides an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand orthodox Islam in global affairs. Focusing on postsecondary-level religious institutions in the Indo-Pakistan heartlands, Moosa explains how a madrasa can simultaneously be a place of learning revered by many and an institution feared by many others, especially in a post-9/11 world.Drawing on his own years as a madrasa student in India, Moosa describes in fascinating detail the daily routine for teachers and students today. He shows how classical theological, legal, and Qur'anic texts are taught, and he illuminates the history of ideas and politics behind the madrasa system. Addressing the contemporary political scene in a clear-eyed manner, Moosa introduces us to madrasa leaders who hold diverse and conflicting perspectives on the place of religion in society. Some admit that they face intractable problems and challenges, including militancy; others, Moosa says, hide their heads in the sand and fail to address the crucial issues of the day. Offering practical suggestions to both madrasa leaders and U.S. policymakers for reform and understanding, Moosa demonstrates how madrasas today still embody the highest aspirations and deeply felt needs of traditional Muslims.

text: Norma Jeanne Merlot 750ml 2007 Sku: 10321 In 1944, in the Radio Plane Munitions factory in Burbank, CA, a young woman working on the assembly line was photographed for an article in Yank magazine on women supporting the war effort. That young woman was Norma Jeane Baker, who in a few short years would become Marilyn Monroe. Stunningly photogenic even before stardom, Norma Jeane exuded a fresh, youthful optimism and vitality - qualities captured in the wine that today bears her name. The emphasis on Norma Jeane is always to capture the vibrant fruit flavors of Merlot at harvest, and the 2007 vintage offers the bright cherry and plum flavors of Merlot with the spice of Syrah - fresh and delightful as the image on the label. The 2007 growing season will be remembered as "picture perfect," and the 2007 Norma Jeane offers wine lovers a first taste of this outstanding vintage.

[MLS 2014 COUNTDOWN]The Vancouver Whitecaps signed Chilean playmaker Pedro Morales on a free transfer from Spanish club Malaga and signed him to a Designated Player contract.
Morales, 28, joins Uruguayans Sebastian Fernandez and Nicolas Mezquida as new players in attack for the 'Caps, who lost 2012 MLS leading scorer Camilo to Mexican club Queretaro in a controversial and -- for Camilo -- ill-fated transfer. (Queretaro's future is in doubt as Mexican authorities investigate its owner's business affairs.)
Morales, who played 15 games for Malaga this season in La Liga, is the second DP signing by the 'Caps in recent week. He should team up with Argentine Matias Laba, acquired via trade from Toronto, in midfield. The contract of Vancouver's third DP, Scotsman Kenny Miller, expires in June.
"Pedro is an exciting attacking player and we are thrilled to have him join our club," Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson said in a statement. "He is a natural No. 10 who will bring a creative flare to our attack and is someone the supporters will enjoy watching.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 5
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 5 News Release 04-279-OSHA
March 2, 2004
Phone: (312) 353-6976
TOLEDO, Ohio -- The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), is joining with construction contractors, organized labor and state and local government agencies in a new partnership to make the $800 million Toledo Public Schools Project a clear example of how to keep working men and women safe in an otherwise hazardous environment.
OSHA Health and Safety partnerships are part of U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao's ongoing efforts to improve the health and safety of workers through cooperative partnerships with trade associations, labor organizations and employers.
"Construction continues to be the most hazardous industry in the country," said OSHA Area Director Jule A. Jones, Toledo. "The partnership signed today will help everyone work safely throughout the construction project."
OSHA will sign the formal partnership on March 9 at the offices of the project's construction manager, LGB, LLC, and with representatives from the Toledo City School District; Ohio School Facilities Commission; Ohio On-Site Consultation Program; construction manager LGB; the Northwestern Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council; and the Northwest Ohio Carpenters and Pile Bucks union.
Goals of the partnership include increasing employee hazard awareness, preventing serious accidents, illnesses, and falls, and eliminating electrical and other hazards, which account for the majority of fatalities and injuries in the construction industry. In fiscal year 2003, OSHA conducted almost 40,000 inspections, and more than half focused on high-hazard industries, including construction.

GREGORY EL wasn't surprised to hear that two people had been shot at the Simons Rec Center - a lot has changed at the West Oak Lane playground since he was a teen playing ball on its basketball courts.
"This whole neighborhood has gone downhill," said El, 43, who lives not far from the rec center, on Walnut Lane near Woolston Street.
"Kids used to come here to play. Now they just hang out and get into trouble," he said, adding that fights and arguments are common at the summertime hangout spot. "It's terrible."

UK: Opel/Vauxhall plans an ADAMs family
By Graeme Roberts | 19 February 2013
General Motors' Opel/Vauxhall is planning further fashionable small cars beyond the ADAM three-door hatchback, but said it would not try to emulate the scale of the range offered by BMW's MINI.
Automatic and higher-performance versions of the ADAM are being openly talked about, and next year there will be a 115bhp, three-cylinder one-litre turbo engine similar to Ford's Ecoboost unit for the car. At the Geneva show next month, Opel/Vauxhall will also show a concept car, ADAM ROCKS, giving clues as to how it could introduce a crossover or a convertible.
But there will be no two-seaters to rival the MINI Coupé and Roadster, and no larger model like the Countryman. Nor will the ADAM be available with diesel engines because they would be too heavy and expensive, Opel/Vauxhall said.
The ADAM is pitched squarely at the Fiat 500 and MINI and sits somewhere between them on price. The entry point in the UK is GBP11,255 for the base model with a 1.2-litre engine, rising to GBP14,000 for the top-grade version with the more powerful of the two 1.4-litre power units.
Opel/Vauxhall claims a possible 4bn personalisation combinations, including 60,000 exteriors, 80,000 interiors, 15 different trims and 20 sets of wheels - eventually to become 40.
Claimed unique selling points include self-parking, printed and illuminated roof liners, a revolving programme of exterior colour packs which will be changed every year and smartphone connectivity.
The car was launched in the UK at the Westfield shopping centre next to the Olympic Park at Stratford, East London, where Vauxhall has opened a temporary shop.
Vauxhall expects just over 8,000 UK sales this year, rising to an average of 10,700 a year from 2014. Nine out of 10 sales will be to private customers, with women expected to be 60% of buyers.

The Eagles added 11 young players over the three-day NFL draft, but they still emerged without answers for two of their biggest needs: starting cornerback and defensive line.
After taking eight players Saturday - starting with Oregon linebacker Casey Matthews and Nebraska kicker Alex Henery - the Eagles came away with a draft class that adds depth at safety, linebacker, offensive line, and running back and probably turns the page on David Akers' long tenure at kicker.
They filled one glaring need in the first round by selecting guard Danny Watkins.
But the Eagles did nothing to fix their other two most significant weaknesses: the front four, which wore down last season, and right cornerback.

A locksmith can charge up
to $250 to rekey a double door (like the one pictured above) and provide 50 replacement keys. One of the biggest benefits to electronic access control is that it mitigates the need for keys.
While traditional mechanical locking hardware provides a high level of security, it's not always cost effective or efficient. If tenants or employees leave, locks have to be re-keyed, and new keys must be distributed. (A locksmith can charge up to $250 to rekey a double door and provide 50 replacement keys.)
One of the biggest benefits to electronic access control? It mitigates the need for keys. Common systems consist of a computer, access control system software, and a database program to manage badges and authorizations. The computer connects to data-gathering panels located in telephone rooms or at the door (this connection may be hardwired or routed via an Ethernet network). Each controlled access door is equipped with a card reader, an electric lock, a door position switch, and a request-to-exit device. These devices are wired to the data-gathering panel.
The typical cost to install a card reader on a single door is $3,000 to $5,000, which includes the electric lock, the card reader and associated devices, the percentage of the access control panel, system software, and computer hardware.
An advantage to electronic access control is that doors can be programmed to unlock automatically during business hours, which negates the need for someone to unlock doors at the start of the business day and relock them at the close of business.
In addition to employee badging, many buildings also use the access control system for visitor logging. In the case of a building with a reception desk, the access control system can be used to log visitors by scanning a license or business card and then printing a disposable badge. This type of system eliminates paper sign-in sheets and maintains a simple-to-search log of visitors. It can also be used to alert the receptionist of a visitor who isn't approved to enter the building.
Electronic access control systems are also commonly used to monitor building doors and other types of alarm inputs, such as power failure, high or low temperature alarms, or water level alarms. Card-reader-controlled doors are installed with a door position switch that sends a signal if the door is unsecure. This can be important not only for security, but for environmental reasons, too. In fact, almost any type of alarm can be monitored by the access control system. Access control systems will allow audible and/or visual signaling devices to be connected to annunciate an alarm condition. Some access control systems even send an e-mail to a security officer or to building management when an alarm is activated.
Electronic access control systems offer many advantages over traditional key-based access control in terms of cost savings, increased security, and convenience, and they can be considered for any security upgrade plan.

At the Forge - Communication in HTML5
One of the greatest contributions of UCB (Berkeley) to the UNIX operating system was the introduction of sockets. Sockets allowed programmers to open a connection to another computer easily and quickly. Once opened, the socket operated something like a point-to-point file handle, allowing you to ignore the fact that data in the socket was being transmitted through dozens or hundreds of other computers. A large number of Internet services, from SMTP to FTP to HTTP, use sockets. I personally have used them for nearly 20 years to implement everything from my undergraduate thesis, to Web browsers and servers, to various Internet-enabled applications.
HTML5 brings socket-like connections to the browser, using a technology called WebSockets. WebSockets are similar in principle to UNIX sockets, in that you can open a connection to an arbitrary other point on the Internet, and send and receive data reliably without even considering the numerous hops or connections along the way.
Now, if you are an experienced Web developer, you might be wondering what the big deal is. After all, Ajax calls allow you to open HTTP connections and send and receive data. And xhr (the XmlHttpRequest function) has been around for a few years, and it works quite well. The difference is WebSockets will allow you to open one or more connections to anywhere on the Internet, not just to servers with the same origin as the current page. Moreover, WebSockets use their own protocol that is admittedly quite similar to HTTP, but it has a great deal less overhead. Finally, WebSockets remain open as long as the sides agree to do so—as opposed to HTTP, which is meant to be stateless and to be closed after a single request-response transaction. For all these reasons, communication using WebSockets generally is going to be far more efficient. A number of articles describing WebSockets have done the math and show just how much more efficient WebSockets are than HTTP—and the difference is staggering.
Working with WebSockets is remarkably simple. You open a WebSocket with some JavaScript code, often (presumably) fired either when a user performs an action (such as pressing a button) or when a certain event takes place (for example, a certain amount of time has elapsed). No matter what, you open a new WebSocket by specifying the URI to which you want to connect, starting with a protocol name (either ws or wss, for unencrypted or encrypted, respectively), continuing with the hostname, and then ending with a resource name.
Listing 3. ws.html
<!DOCTYPE html>  <title>Page title</title>
Page headline

WebSockets!

Once the WebSocket is open, you can attach callbacks to it, indicating what should happen when the socket is opened, closed or receives a message. (Each time the WebSocket receives data from the remote host, it will invoke the "onmessage" callback function.)
For example, here's a simple WebSocket that retrieves data from a hypothetical weather server:
var weatherSocket = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:8080"); ↪// Our own weather server
Then, you can assign callbacks:
weatherSocket.onopen = function(e) { alert("Opened weather socket"); }; weatherSocket.onmessage = function(e) { alert("Received a message: " + e.data); }; weatherSocket.onclose = function(e) { alert("Closing the weather socket..."); };
Finally, you can send messages by invoking the send() method—yes, the same method that you saw above, but without the second parameter indicating the origin.
Notice that although you write directly to the WebSocket using send, you don't read a result directly from it or via a return value to send(). Rather, you will get the data when it is sent to you, via the execution of your method at weatherSocket.onmessage().
One piece is missing from this description, namely a server to which the WebSocket connects. You cannot connect to just any old server on the other end, and especially not to an HTTP server. Fortunately, a growing number of packages (in various open-source languages) can handle the server side of WebSockets. One such package is the em-websocket gem for Ruby, based on the well-known eventmachine gem. WebSocket server libraries already exist for PHP and Python, as well as a number of other languages. Over time, I expect to see a number of WebSocket-compatible servers emerge.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide
