Very cozy house and room, silent neighborhood.
Only drawback, you have to search for a parking space outside the blue zone. up to 5 minutes walk, just Copenhagen things. ;-) 5/5
Annas apartment in Kopenhagen was very nice and clean. The interior was so lovely and comfortable and the bathroom was very ample and clean. The apartment is situated in such a lovely neighborhood. It is very quiet and beautiful, althoug it is very near to the city center: perfect.
Anna was a lovable host. Very, very friendly and the communication with her worked out perfectly.
We would love to come back to Annas apartment in Kopemhagen at any time.
Charming property in pleasant location with easy access to local transport or Walk into town .Helpful host ,who has some 'delightful ' art decor ..Allmost like a private gallery! Second level staircase was a bit steep for our heavy suitcases .
The house is pretty! A little bit away from the train station.
I suggest to specify that there is just 1 room with an extra sofa bed, at the pictures it look like 2 rooms.
Anna has a charming place on a quiet street yet close to transportation. Our room was light and airy and very nice. Anna was helpful and we had a very pleasant stay. We recommend it highly.
Very nice room in a quiet neighbourhood. Lots of nice restaurants just a few blocks from there. Within a 15 minutes stroll you'll be in the center of Copenhagen.
Anna, thanks again for your hospitality!
A really charming, well-equipped and cosy apartment. Everything was fine and Anna is a great host. A 20 min.walk brings you to the city centre. We are absolutely satisfied with our stay in beautiful Copenhagen.
Wow. This is a totally understated, hidden gem. If you are lucky enough to stay in this special sanctuary, filled with eclectic souvenirs from different cultures and travels you won't forget it quickly. Location is perfect, close to those lovely coffee shops and the main shopping St. Anna, our host is a special lady who has the best suggestions for anything art related. 10/10.

The Ph.D. Program in Economics emphasizes analytical and quantitative skills and exposes students to a broad range of contemporary policy issues to prepare them for careers in academic, business, or government careers. In their first two semesters of study, students receive rigorous training in three core areas: microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics.
After completing the core sequences, students choose three fields of specialization for intensive study. For most students, work on the dissertation begins in the third year and occupies them through the fourth or fifth year of residence.
Core Courses
The core courses form an integrated sequence of courses that develop the theoretical and quantitative tools students will build on later in their careers. These courses include two semesters of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics.
An undergraduate major in economics is not a requirement, but students are expected to have taken some economics courses, including at least intermediate theory courses. Students should also have a solid background in mathematics. The recommended math courses are calculus, linear algebra, and mathematical statistics, but more math is generally considered an advantage. A master's degree is not required for admission to the Ph.D. program, nor for completing the Ph.D. degree.
Field Courses
After a highly structured first two semesters, students have more choice as they select three areas of specialization. The field courses are intended to broaden and deepen the students' understanding of economics and to encourage students to develop more specific interests. The fields and their associated courses include:
- Advanced Theory/Special Topics: ECON 689
- Behavioral and Experimental Economics: ECON 655, ECON 659
- Econometrics: ECMT 677, ECMT 678, ECMT 679
- Labor Economics: ECON 609, ECON 610
- Industrial Organization: ECON 649, ECON 650
- International Economics: ECON 651, ECON 652
- Advanced Macroeconomics: ECON 635, ECON 637
- Public Economics: ECON 603, ECON 604

Beginning in the third year and extending through the fifth year of residence, students participate in departmental workshops. Workshops are commonly offered in theory, macro, money, international, applied micro, and econometrics. The workshops are designed to acquaint students with research methodology and to provide opportunities for them to present their own research.
Department Qualifying Exams and Field Exams
Students must pass qualifying examinations in microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, and econometrics following completion of the core sequences. The exams are given in late May and late July or early August. Students must also pass examinations in one field of specialization following completion of the appropriate field sequences. The field exams are given in January and May. Please consult the Graduate Catalog for additional requirements by the Office of Graduate Studies for the Ph.D. degree. You may find this in the Graduate Handbook on the web site ogs.tamu.edu.
Students normally begin research on their dissertations in their third year. The dissertation is intended as a demonstration of the student's ability to perform original research.
Teaching & Research
In their first and second years of Ph.D. study, students receiving financial support are normally assigned as research assistants to faculty members to aid them in teaching and research activities.
In their third and fourth years, students may become teaching assistants and have the opportunity to instruct undergraduates at Texas A&M. Both types of assistantships are viewed as integral parts of the educational process, preparing students for careers in teaching and research.
Funding Opportunities
Bradley Fellows Program
The Bradley Fellows Program supports two outstanding 4th year Ph.D. students working on their dissertation research with a monthly stipend for 12 months. All third year Ph.D. students are encouraged to apply in the spring semester of their third year of study. The application will require submission of a cover letter, vita, research proposal along with a nomination letter from the student's advisor. Applications are reviewed by a committee of faculty. This fellowship carries a waiver of out-of-state tuition for the recipient during the period of the award. The deadline for submission is March 31.
PERC Summer Fellowship
PERC awards two to three fellowships to support outstanding 2nd year Ph.D. students doing research in the summer. Recipients are expected to spend two summer months on a project, produce a working paper and present a seminar. Recipients must be enrolled for at least one summer term. Students are required to submit a cover letter and brief research proposal. The deadline for submission is March 31.
Gail Frey Monson Memorial Scholarship
The Monson Memorial Scholarship provides a one time stipend (typically $500) to a fourth-year female Ph.D. student in the Department of Economics. Applicants must be full time graduate students in good standing in the Department of Economics, have been admitted to Ph.D. candidacy, and demonstrate good citizenship in the department.

Supreme Court Prepares to Hear Major Case on Corporate Responsibility Abroad
Sunday, February 26, 2012
Ogoni in Nigeria (photo: shellguilty.com
The responsibility of major corporations for human rights abuses abroad will be argued on Tuesday in front of the Supreme Court. In the case, Esther Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum, Shell is accused of assisting the Nigerian government in torturing and executing activists who were protesting Shell's drilling operations in the Ogoni region of Nigeria, including Kiobel's late husband, Dr. Barinem Kiobel. Kiobel and the others are suing under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA), which was passed in 1789 and allows federal courts to hear "any civil action by an alien for a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States." Although ATCA was little used for about 190 years, since 1980 foreign nationals have used it more than 120 times to sue 59 corporations for acts perpetrated on them overseas. Examples include Indonesian villagers accusing ExxonMobil's security forces of murder, torture and other abuses in 1999-2001; Firestone Tire Company accused of using child labor in Liberia; and Ford Motor and other firms accused of aiding South Africa's apartheid system.
Shell and its corporate allies argue that the statute should be applied only to individuals, and not to corporations, in part because lawsuits against corporations can drag on for years. Other courts have allowed ATCA suits against corporations, but the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New York, accepted Shell's argument in a ruling in 2010, thus setting up the Supreme Court showdown. For its part, the Obama administration has taken the side of Esther Kiobel.
One question that looms large, although it is technically separate, is how the Supreme Court will reconcile this case with that of Citizens United, in which the Court last year held that corporations have free speech rights that were violated by laws limiting or prohibiting corporate spending on political campaigns. Those who support application of ATCA to corporations point out that it would be inconsistent to treat corporations as legal "persons" when it comes to free speech rights, but not as persons when it comes to paying for wrongful acts.

I'm not the one preaching on waiting for adjustments.

He's not happy with his play. You guys are really stretching here.
Omg you guys are all a buncha of drama queens. Let's not invent crap that isn't true or substantial.
You keep saying "were 3-5 because we don't have our best player." this basically absolves hibbert of any and all responsibility because it implies that the pacers are only as good as granger.
That would be acceptable from a team standpoint if Roy hibbert wasn't re-signed to a max deal on the premise that he was supposed to be the franchise player. If the pacers are struggling and hibbert isn't carrying his weight, that is on him. Not granger, not frank, not management.
I think we can all agree that Roy wears his emotions on his sleeve. That's just who he is. We knew that before and after the contract. When the shots start falling, and they will, those emotions will help fire the team up just like they did last year. Right now, it sucks. Hopefully it turns around soon.
He isn't the same guy he was before. If you'd like to argue that he's going to get a max deal himself next summer, then you have a case.
Maybe the pacers rebound or hibbert rebounds from this and has a great season. I'm just saying it doesn't look good for hibbert right now and it's gong to snowball fast if he doesn't start playing like a franchise center.
This all stemmed from me saying Granger was our best player, and he's out because of injury and the team has to adjust to his loss.
Somehow it turned into a insane conversation about Roy's body language and being mad about Hansbrough. You gotta be kiddin me.
This is classic "reading too much into nothing." Drama drama drama. Knee-jerk reactions. It's all here a-plenty
This isn't the same team as last year - to say that it is is silly. :cool: There are several additions and subtractions to this roster and they are making a lot of mistakes.
My hope is that players start hitting the open shots. The team is getting good looks - they are just missing them. I'm also glad that the FO didn't sign a big name FA many wanted last summer with the initials EG. Could you imagine that...
No "huh" --- that's what happened. I said this team has lost it's best player and has a new bench, and needed a transition period. Next thing I know I'm being told Roy is our best player, that I think he's a "passenger on a train" (which is absolutely untrue), that his body language is bad, and he's mad about Hansbrough.
You tell me what happened. I never once mentioned Roy except to respond to people.
Clearly. But Roy's contract wasn't based purely on production either, but rather projection. So saying Roy is the best player, because he got the biggest contract, doesn't fit either.
Whether or not you think Danny is the best player, he's been the most important player. Look at the way the Pacers crumbled in the playoffs when he went down with his ankle injury.
Danny's absence from the team isn't just some footnote.
It's all a bunch of tangents. I'm going with my company line, as always. Lulls are going to happen. We have a new bench. We have our top guy out. It's not the end of the world. Not interested in arguing semantics.
If you don't wanna wait, then don't. We'll cya when the team "meets your standards again". Lol.
There's nothing wrong with saying the pacers aren't as good without granger.
Likewise, Roy can't get away with going down with the ship. He thinks he's a franchise type center, then he has to start paying like one. That has nothing to do with granger being hurt.
I don't understand what your issue is here, are you really happy with how the team is performing? What's the magic number of games before you want to see changes? I didn't know there was a rule for that, please enlighten me. We're almost 1/8 of the way through the season, while not a huge amount, that's not exactly small either.
I'll be more than happy if we suddenly rip of an 8 game winning streak, but I don't see it happening right now.
I completely agree with that Kstat. I never said he wasn't responsible.
He's not playing well, as is most of the team, that much has been discussed to death. I still think they'll turn things around.

Quality Electric Dog Fences and Containment Systems
Quality electronic dog fences and containment systems to stop your escaping dog or keep your little digger out of your favourite garden / vegetable patch.
- No more car accidents from your escaping dog, pound pick ups and expensive vet bills or council fees.
- Protect your local wildlife and neighbouring animals from your over excited escapee.
- 30 day performance guarantee - Buy it, Try it, if it doesn't work - send it back!
No more escaping dogs with a quality electric dog fence!
A dog fence may also be known as a dog containment system, hidden dog fence or inground radio fence. Remember, they are all the same thing! Dog containment fences are an extremely effective method of keeping your escaping dog within your property or preventing your pet from digging out your favourite award winning flower garden/vegetable patch.
We only stock quality dog fence brands, including Innotek, SportDog and PetSafe. And now exclusively we stock the Dogwatch Hidden Fence System, the world's best Dog Fencing available! Our electric dog fence systems are also a cost effective escaping dog solution compared to rebuilding structural fences.
How do they work?
Dog Containment Fences all function in a similar way. A transmitter is connected to a main source of power, ensuring it is protected from the weather. A wire is run from this transmitter, above or below ground, looping around the desired containment area and returning back to the transmitter. The transmitter sends a signal through this wire that is programmed to your dog's collar. The dog's receiver collar picks up the radio signal, first warning the dog with a beep or vibration and then delivering a static pulse correction if they continue heading towards the boundary. Once setup is complete, the dog is trained to interact with their new boundary and will be safely contained. Our dog fencing systems are safe to touch unlike electrified fencing!
Our help centre has a more in-depth description of how the dog fences work!
Click here for advice on how to train your dog to respond to the containment fence appropriately.
Which containment fence is right for me?
The correct fence for your dog depends on a number of factors including the size of the desired boundary, your current physical fencing and your dog's breed, age, size and temperament. There is a suitable dog fence to cover any area from a small garden bed up to a 100 acre property and for all dogs from 2kgs upwards. Most modern dog fences have various collar options to suit multiple dogs of different sizes and also offer adjustable stimulation levels that can be set to match the dog's temperament and drive to escape.
Please call 1300 668 931 or email if you would like to ask any of our experienced staff questions in relation to our dog fencing options or need help choosing the right system for you dog and situation.

How Does an Electric Dog Fence work?
An electric dog fencing system works by running a wire around your property that is connected to a transmitter. Your dog wears a fence collar that picks up a radio signal from this wire and warns the dog away from the correction zone you have set up. If your dog continues into the correction zone they will begin to receive static pulses from the containment collar until they leave the area. For a full rundown on how an electric dog fence works, view this article - How Containment Systems or Electric Dog Fences Actually Work.
What is the Right Dog Containment Fence for My Dog?
Selecting the correct dog containment system for your dog will depend on your dog's breed, age, size, temperament and your current fencing. This is to ensure you will have a dog feence that can handle the size and layout of the property and an appropriately sized collar with enough reach in stimulation to contain each of your dogs. For a closer look into the dog containment systems available, please view this guide - Making sure you Choose the Right Electric Dog Fence.
Do I Have to Bury the Electric Dog Fence Wire?
As with all dog containment fence systems or electronic dog fencing you can either bury your wire around the containment area, lay it above the ground (avoid mowing over it!) or attach it to your existing fences (if you have colourbond fences, please contact us prior to ordering your electric dog fencing system). If you would like some assistance with finalising your layout area, view this installation guide - Popular Dog Containment System Layouts.
Do I Have to Train My Dog to Use an Electronic Dog Fence?
Training your dog to understand the electric dog fencing is one of the most important parts of the initial setup. It's important for the dog to understand how they must react when their dog fence collar gives them a warning beep or correction. Completing the training will ensure that your dog is safely contained and understands where its new boundaries are. To learn more on the importance of dog containment fence training please view this article - Why do I Need to Train My Dog to Use an Electric Dog Fence?
How do I Train My Dog to Understand Electric Dog Fencing?
All electronic dog fencing kits will come with a comprehensive setup and training manual for you to work with and most dog containment systems will even include a training DVD to help you. If you would like to view our simple version of dog fence training, please view this article - Dog Fences...A Simple Training Guide.
Can My Dog Wear the Electronic Dog Fence Collar All the Time?
Your dog can comfortably wear the dog fencing collar for a maximum of 10-12 hours a day. Prolonged use can cause skin irritation and in some cases pressure necrosis. With training, most dogs will avoid the dog containment fence even when they don't have the collar on. If you have a particularly persistent dog that needs to wear the collar for longer periods, you can also consider the use of a 24 hour contact pad that allows longer, constant use - Surface Conductor Grid -24Hour Contact Pad.

When it comes to their environmental track record, luxury-goods makers have earned a less-than-glowing rap, and deservedly so. In a 2007 report by the World Wildlife Fund U.K., luxury-goods businesses were singled out for lagging behind the green market zeitgeist.
The top 10 publicly traded luxury corporate groups scored no higher than a "C+."
Ranked by environmental and social performance, as well as by reputation, the top 10 publicly traded luxury corporate groups scored no higher than a "C+" (Loreal, Hermes, Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton). PPR, which sponsored Yann Arthus-Bertrand's cinematic outing, Home, got a "D", while two of its colleagues (Tods, Bulgari) received an outright "F."
Luxury brands are pilloried for inciting unnecessary consumption, causing waste, and provoking discontent among the less affluent. But don't count them out for being irrelevant to the global conversation just yet. The WWF report describes the emergence of a new kind of luxury consumer—one who is well-heeled, educated, and concerned about social and environmental issues.
The luxury industry has to evolve, integrate sustainability into their business strategies, or die.
"These consumers use luxury products as a symbol of success," the environmental group notes. "The definition of success—and the way it is perceived by others—is changing. Many successful people now want the brands they use to reflect their concerns and aspirations for a better world."
In short, the luxury industry has to evolve, integrate sustainability into their business strategies, or die. Only then can we redefine what "luxury" means; a term that is synonymous with quality, timelessness, as well as social and environmental excellence.

here reply to Calvin Hayes's welcome exposition and criticisms of Escape
from Leviathan. But I shall deal only with those aspects that I wish to
dispute or where clarification seems useful.
It is true that Escape from Leviathan "is divided into four parts:
Rationality, Liberty, Welfare and Anarchy." But I am not quite sure what
Hayes means by adding, "based on what he terms 'preference utility'."
To be clear, I use a preference-utilitarian conception of welfare: we are
better off to the extent that our wants are satisfied. Preference utility is
not the basis of rationality, liberty or anarchy (though it is related to
these in various ways). For the benefit of some essentialists who insist that
want-satisfaction cannot be a type of welfare even if we want our welfare to
be judged that way, I should say that the main point is that—contrary
to the statist view—private-property anarchy maximises want-satisfaction.
However, I also defend this as a modus vivendi view of welfare that
avoids conflict (primarily, attempts to use the state aggressively to impose
competing views of welfare on people that flouts those people's own
preferences). Though I do also defend it as the best candidate for welfare.
Hayes continues that "Lester begins with an extremely provocative quote:
'the only thing seriously wrong with they [sic] world is politics'." The
quotation should read, "There is only one thing that is seriously morally
wrong with the world, and that is politics" (Escape from Leviathan,
1, opening sentence; emphasis added). The misquotation leads him into trouble
later. I take this opportunity to emphasise that I meant major and general
contenders for what is morally wrong with the world, such as capitalism,
socialism, patriarchy, religion (or its absence), reckless environmental
degradation, and so forth. I did not mean, of course, that there is nothing
morally wrong with everyday acts of theft, fraud, assault, and so on (or, even
less plausibly, that the state is responsible for all of these).
do argue, as Hayes notes, that liberty is compatible with welfare but, just to
be clear, also with private-property anarchy (hence the title of the book).
Strictly speaking, I would not say that Escape from Leviathan
absolutely "rejects both [the] natural rights and contractarian
position[s]." Rather, following Karl Popper's critical-rationalist
epistemology, I do not see that either of these positions can give ultimate
support (i.e., justification) to libertarianism. However, I can make some
sense of both of these in a non-justificationist way.
regards the view that law and order can be private as "the Achilles' heel
of [my] entire argument". Unfortunately, he does not give any specific
criticism of this view or of my various philosophical arguments with respect
to law and order. So there is nothing substantive to which I may reply. And,
as Hayes rightly notes at the outset, my focus is on the philosophy. So the
more empirical works on this subject, such as those of Bruce Benson's, are
cited by me without any attempt to summarise their arguments.[2]
There was simply too much relevant empirical work on too many topics to
attempt to explain them all.
is not so much that human welfare (in preference utilitarian terms) "entails
… anarchy" (I do not attempt to derive anarchy from welfare, which would
be a justificationist approach). Rather, I argue that there is no sound reason
to think that private-property anarchy conflicts with such welfare (which is a
critical-rationalist approach). Again, I am just clarifying here. I do not
mean to imply that Hayes's exposition is clearly mistaken. Indeed, it is
reasonably accurate for the most part. However, I do not argue primarily that it is liberty (as the absence of, proactively, imposed costs) that "rules out the pursuit of either so-called Social Justice (as in Rawls and numerous others) or Welfare (as defined by the 'Welfare State' …"). Rather, Social Justice and Welfare thus conceived are, first and foremost, in practice incompatible with, a more plausible view of, human welfare in any case and incidentally with interpersonal liberty too (though it is not incidental with respect to the specific thesis I am defending). I do not see that my anarchy "ironically" puts me "into the company of … the truly extreme left, the anarchists, who see the state as the instrument of the rich and privileged to keep their power at the expense of the poor and the working class." For one thing, anti-statism is indubitably 'left-wing' in the pristine sense of the French assembly, whence the term originated. There those on the left were bourgeois and liberal as opposed to the right-wingers that were aristocratic and paternalistic. For another thing, while both types of anarchist want the state abolished, there is no serious similarity between the two societies that the opposing types defend or predict might replace the state. Is it 'ironic' that two people who hate wearing some particular uniform do not want to wear the same alternative uniform?
Hayes is "not convinced" that I have "answered the crucial question for
anarchists (which [non-anarchist] libertarians do not face) 'Will the
Invisible Hand work in Hobbes' state of Nature?'" It is not crystal
clear what this "crucial question" is intended to mean. However, as
mentioned in Escape from Leviathan (e.g., 195 and note 72), game
theory, social science and biology now seem to explain convincingly how
cooperation (motivated by self-interest yet promoting the common good: also
known, following Adam Smith, as the Invisible Hand) arises
spontaneously—even among different species—as long as we have iterated
There is still some aggression and cheating but this can be considerably
ameliorated far better by competing private policing and legal systems (again,
operating as an Invisible Hand) than by the aggressive monopoly of the state.
While trade is always civilised, with both sides gaining, politics always has
victims. Without a clearer or more elaborate statement of the criticism, there
is insufficient usefully to respond further. But I did not deal with the more
empirical and economic details of these issues in Escape from Leviathan,
so made no direct attempt to answer this question, in any case.
Hayes wants to "agree with the libertarians on the basic rationale for the
state viz. the Harm principle NOT Social justice is the only acceptable
rationale for state coercion." But some libertarians, such as myself,
clearly think there is no rationale for the state. And as I explain in Escape
from Leviathan (60), harm cannot be the principle. Harm (understood as
objective damage to our person or property) must be acceptable if it, or the
risk of it, is voluntarily accepted. Only aggressively imposed harm is
unlibertarian. But aggressively imposed safety, such as a state ban on some
personally dangerous activity, is unlibertarian too. So harm as such is
irrelevant. It is the aggressive imposition of any unwanted thing that is
proscribed, though this takes considerable philosophical unpacking. And again,
'social justice' as advocated is unacceptable (to many libertarians as
well as me) not only because it damages liberty, understood as not being
aggressively imposed on, but because it damages the very human welfare,
rightly understood, that it is supposed to be promoting.
We are the told that "there are at least three sources of problems in the
world not due to politics, that therefore it is incorrect to claim that the
only thing seriously wrong with the world is politics. First there is Mother
Nature; second there is Moral Hazard; third there is Market Failure." Unless
Hayes thinks Mother Nature is literally a person of some kind, I do not see
that nature can be morally at fault (as the corrected quotation requires). The
idea of Moral Hazard is that one can cause people to do more of some
undesirable thing by the very process of protecting them from the likelihood,
or consequences of, its happening. Whether a moral issue or not, how is this a
serious problem for non-political arrangements? (While the National Health
Service, for instance, is clearly a moral hazard to health because it is free
at the point of consumption irrespective of the person's past behaviour or
any tax-extortion paid.) What supposed "Market Failure"? Again, whether a
moral issue or not, there is a wealth of literature explaining how many
so-called market failures are in reality state failures, thanks to state
interference with the creation and maintenance of private property (sundry
examples cropped up in Escape from Leviathan).
But without anything more specific from Hayes it would not be useful to
elaborate. I
was surprised that Hayes fails even to mention my fourteen-point list, and
surrounding discussion, that explicitly compares Popper's critical
rationalism with libertarianism—strong similarities—and liberal
democracy—strong dissimilarities (Escape from Leviathan, 138-141).
Hayes becomes more familiar with the relevant literature, he will probably
find the anarcho-libertarian case far more robust and realistic than he has
hitherto suspected.

Agebinium is a small terrestrial world with an extremely thin atmosphere of carbon dioxide and krypton. Though the planet has sufficient mass to maintain a much thicker atmosphere, much of it has been blasted away.
The red giant Amazon is a long-period variable star, currently at the nadir of a 16-year cycle. At peak, its energy output doubles, lashing Agebinium with intense heat and radiation.
The crust is mainly composed of aluminum with deposits of tin. Much of the surface is coated with fine silicate dust, which easily penetrates the smallest cracks to foul machinery.

Url and email input types
HTML5 introduced new input types url
and email
are one of those. They allow you to write a more semantically correct code and make the form completion easier on mobile devices, by displaying special buttons (like the @ or .com buttons) depending on the input type.
Here is the url
attribute in action:
<input type="url" value="">
And the email
attribute as well. Please also pay attention to the pattern
attribute as I will explain it below.
<input type="email" pattern="[^ @]*@[^ @]*" value="">
Source: http://davidwalsh.name/html5-email
Regexp patterns for form validation
Before HTML5, when you used a form on your website, you had to use JavaScript to create a front-side validation. Now with HTML5 and the pattern
attribute, you can define a regular expression pattern to validate the data.
The following snippet is for validating email addresses:
<input type="text" title="email" required pattern="[^@]+@[^@]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}" />
This one is for strong passwords:
<input title="at least eight symbols containing at least one number, one lower, and one upper letter" type="text" pattern="(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{8,}" required />
And this one is for validating phone numbers:
<input type="text" required pattern="(\+?\d[- .]*){7,13}" title="international, national or local phone number"/>

Context menus with HTML5
HTML5 context menus allows you to add elements to the contextual menu which appears when the user right click somewhere on your page.
At the time of writing this article, the contextmenu
element is only compatible with Firefox, so let's hope other browsers will implement it very soon.

Yes, this section right here

 <menu type="context" id="mymenu"> <menuitem label="Please do not steal our images" icon="img/forbidden.png"></menuitem> <menu label="Social Networks"> <menuitem label="Share on Facebook" onclick="window.location.href = 'http://facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' + window.location.href;"> </menuitem> </menu> </menu>

HTML5 video, with Flash fallback
One of the greatest new possibilities of HTML5 is definitely its ability to play video files without requesting the use of Flash. Though, as older browsers are not compatible with HTML5 videos, you should implement a Flash fallback. The following example show how to embed mp4
and ogv
videos in HTML5, with a Flash fallback for older browsers.
<video width="640" height="360" controls> <source src="__VIDEO__.MP4" type="video/mp4" /> <source src="__VIDEO__.OGV" type="video/ogg" /> <object width="640" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="__FLASH__.SWF"> <param name="movie" value="__FLASH__.SWF" /> <param name="flashvars" value="controlbar=over&image=__POSTER__.JPG&file=__VIDEO__.MP4" />  </object> </video>
Source: http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody
Autocompletion with HTML5 datalists
Using the datalist
element, HTML5 allows you to create a list of data to autocomplete an input field. Super useful!
<input name="frameworks" list="frameworks" /> <datalist id="frameworks"> <option value="MooTools"> <option value="Moobile"> <option value="Dojo Toolkit"> <option value="jQuery"> <option value="YUI"> </datalist>
Source/Demo: http://davidwalsh.name/datalist
Hidden elements using HTML5
HTML5 introduce the hidden
attribute, which allow you to hide a specific element, as you would do it in CSS using display:none

You can't see this text

Source: http://html5demos.com/hidden
element with autofocus
The autofocus
attribute allow you to force the focus on a specific element. Useful for search pages such as google.com homepage.
<input autofocus="autofocus" />

HTML5 prefetching
Some time ago I wrote a detailed article about HTML5 prefetching. Basically, prefetching is a simple technique to prefetch and load a resource which is not included in the current page.
The example below shows the prefetching of an image:
<link rel="prefetch" href="http://www.catswhocode.com/wp-content/uploads/my_image.png">
Source: http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/mastering-html5-prefetching
Playing audio files with HTML5
HTML5 can play videos as I shown you before, and of course it can also play audio files such as the popular mp3
format. As an example, here is a minimalist but functional audio player.
<audio id="player" src="sound.mp3"></audio>
 <button onclick="document.getElementById('player').play()">Play</button> <button onclick="document.getElementById('player').pause()">Pause</button> <button onclick="document.getElementById('player').volume+=0.1">Volume Up</button> <button onclick="document.getElementById('player').volume-=0.1">Volume Down</button>

Does anyone have any sketches or melodramas suitable for a school staff Olde Tyme Music Hall that they would be willing to share? Alternatively suggestions of where to look for some? Thanks. I'm afraid I come under the "suggestions of where to look" category since this is a commercial source... What's your time limit on melodramas? Most complete plays will tend to be on the long side for fitting into a music hall. The shortest that we offer (of the scripts designed to be played by adults) are:- The Black Widow by Helen Sharman and The Horrible Hot-Air Homicide by Ray Lawrence. Both of those are modern pastiches of Melodrama, playing up the absurdity and mild vulgarity. (Whilst this would be in the range of music hall melodrama, much original material would have taken itself more seriously, being a product of Victorian sentimentality!) We have lots of sketches. The limitation is how much you want to stick to Music Hall period. The nearest would be the Schoolroom Sketch by TLC Creative - which is actually a pantomime sequence reworked as a stand-alone sketch. Lots of others might fit if you're not tied to Victoriana. |

Everest Cafe Restaurant Review: Popular as the lunchtime buffet is, you have to visit for dinner to truly experience this menu's diversity. St. Louis' first Nepalese restaurant also serves authentic Indian and Pakistani fare plus some of the most common dishes from South Korea. The kitchen masters the details right down to the house-made naan (unleavened bread baked in a clay oven), paneer (homemade cheese), kimchi (pickled cabbage) and achar (spicy pickled fruits and vegetables). Admittedly, chef Devi States tweaks some preparations to accommodate Midwestern palates --- for one, Tibetan-style momos (dumplings) are traditionally filled with yak meat. Midwestern farmers haven't discovered the lures of the yak, so here they're made with pork, turkey, lamb or vegetables. States, a physician who's as passionate about health as he is about food, has vegetarian and gluten-free options clearly marked on the menu. Kheer, a rice pudding dessert made with coconut and cardamom, is worthy of a seduction. |

Misty Croslin receives concurrent 25-year sentence
The new sentences will be served at the same time as a drug trafficking sentence out of St. Johns County.
Published: Monday, January 10, 2011 at 3:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 10, 2011 at 3:21 p.m.
Misty Croslin, the woman who was with 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings when the Putnam County girl was reported missing two years ago, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison on seven drug-trafficking charges.
Circuit Judge Terry LaRue sentenced Croslin, 19, to terms adding up to 89 years in prison, but the seven sentences will be served at the same time, for a total of 25 years in prison. The sentences also will be served concurrently with a 25-year drug-trafficking sentence out of St. Johns County. She also faces $2 million in fines.
"Just be fair, that's all," Croslin said to LaRue in a terse statement before he handed down the punishment. "I'm not a drug dealer. I just got caught in a bad situation."
Croslin, Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, and several others were arrested in January 2010 following an undercover investigation and are now serving prison terms of varying lengths.
Haleigh was reported missing Feb. 10, 2009 from the Satsuma home she shared with Cummings, her little brother and Croslin. Putnam County sheriff's officials have since said Haleigh is believed to be dead.
Haleigh's mother, Crystal Sheffield, was at Monday's hearing. She said afterward that she had hoped Croslin would say something about the missing girl.
"I would have liked to have seen her give answers," Sheffield said. "You say you (Croslin) love my children. Why would you do this? God will reveal it one day. He will give me the answer."
When Croslin was sentenced in St. Johns County in October, she took the stand and described a tough upbringing. She said the reason she was investigated on the drug charges was because of the Haleigh case. Her mother, Lisa Croslin, also testified while prosecutors called an investigator to testify.
In Putnam County, however, the only person to speak was Croslin's father, Hank Croslin Sr., who was asked to address the judge by his daughter despite her attorney advising against it. Hank Croslin, who has previously been jailed on unrelated drug charges, initially appeared reluctant to speak but in a brief, tearful statement told the judge that Croslin is not a drug dealer and asked for leniency.
Attorney Robert Fields said afterward he believes Croslin wanted her father to speak on her behalf as an instinctive need for support.
"She is in a very dark place right now no matter what people believe," Fields said. "It's just a sad matter that I feel is still unresolved."
Arrested with Croslin and Cummings in the drug investigation were Croslin's brother, Hank "Tommy" Croslin Jr.; Cummings' cousin, Hope Sykes; and a friend of Croslin, Donna Brock.
Cummings' mother, Teresa Neves, said afterward her son wants to know where his daughter is.
"We just want justice for Haleigh," Neves said, adding that the family is planning a public event to mark the second anniversary of Haleigh's disappearance.
Croslin and Tommy Croslin have implicated a cousin from Tennessee, Joe Overstreet, in the disappearance. Croslin said Overstreet attacked the girl and that Tommy Croslin said Overstreet disposed of the body in the St. Johns River at a boat ramp between Satsuma and Welaka. A three-day search in April did not turn up any remains of Haleigh.
Overstreet has denied involvement.

Our local election manifesto sets out our ambitions to improve local services. To date we are the only political party in Calderdale to publish a local election manifesto for the local Council elections that take place on May 7th, the same day as the general election.
The manifesto sets out policies and ideas we would implement if we were running the Council. Some of the highlights of their manifesto include:
- A commitment to resurface local roads.
- Reforming the Council's top heavy management structure and sharing "back office" functions with other local organisations and services to make the Council more efficient.
- Exploring the possibility of the debt on Calderdale Royal Hospital being bought out to get rid of the debt that Labour saddled local people with.
- Continuing to improve waste collection and recycling to include garden waste and plastics.
- Involving local people more in how the Council makes decisions through consultations, ward forums, web casting meetings and opening up planning committees.
Our local election manifesto is full of ideas from our grass roots members who are all Calderdale residents. All of our members were invited to attend our manifesto day where everyone had a chance to discuss and put forward ideas to be included in the manifesto. As a democratic party our members who are all local Calderdale residents have had a real say in shaping this manifesto.
On May 7th there are two elections and people will have two decisions to make. This manifesto demonstrates our serious commitment to improving local services and the difference voting Liberal Democrat locally will make.

Check out Cristiano Ronaldo's Russian supermodel girlfriend, she is the utterly sexy Irina Shaykhlislamova aka Irina Sheik or Irina Shayk, either way she is smoking Hot and we can tell all about their torrid romance and about her, so keep reading and don't miss Irina Shaykhlislamova's photo and video below.
So by now we all know that the girl with the green bikini having a blast on a yacht with Cristiano Ronaldo is the Sports Illustrated and Armani Exchange model who in the beginning was not identified, but now is for sure that they are indeed dating. They spent five days in Corsica, they left together after the Spanish soccer season ended.
Irina was spotted at Ronaldo's match against Osasuna but no one could tell what was she doing there, but after their pictures, bathing and laughing, it was revealed everything was pretty clear and if you still have any doubts then you should take a peak at the video we added you'll see some other pictures of them hugging and probably kissing. They look so hot together, I am so happy she dumped Rob Bourdon (Linkin Park's drummer) with whom she was romantically related. As for how Cristiano met this ultra sexy model is not confirmed, but after knowing that both are Armani models, it is quite obvious.
So allow us to tell you more about Irina Shayklilamova, Irina Shayk or Irina Sheik.
She was born in Yemanzhelinsk, Russia on January 6, 1986 so she is 24 years old. Her father used to work in a coal mine, but he died when she was still in school so her mother, a music teacher for a children's kindergarten, was forced to take two jobs to take care of the maintenance of Irina and older sister Tatiana.
For Shayk, modeling was actually not in her plans, she was a regular girl who dreamt of becoming a teacher, she loved to make up stories and got lost when it was about literature. But after graduation she started to study marketing, she wasn't so happy about that and her mother noticed, so she decided to make different plans for her by sending her to music school where she learned how to sing and play the piano, but still saw that music wasn't fulfilling her daughter's expectations. So when she saw an ad about a beauty school, she quickly sent her two daughters over, little did she know that her future in fashion was just next door.
An important modeling agency was next door to that beauty school, and Irina's beauty didn't go unnoticed. They talked her into participating in the Miss Chelyabinsk contest which she won, but she won a little more to get discovered by Guia Jikidze who is also responsible for discovering Natalia Vodianova, and the one person who sent her to Paris where she joined City Models.
Once installed in Paris, the fashion world began to call for that 5'10" beauty with the most beautiful green eyes, and skin and perfect measurements (34-23-35). Irina was quickly on the covers of all fashion magazines like Bolero, Marie Clare, GQ, Vogue, V Magazine, La Confidential, Elle, Jalouse, and Vanity Fair to name a few plus she was part of campaigns for Lacoste, La Perla, Guess, 4US, Beach Bunny, Germaine de Capuccini and El Corte Ingles. She replaced the Brazilian beauty Ana Beatriz Ramos in the Italian underwear Intimissimi, her own Irin Swimwear, Victoria's Secret and this year in Armani Exchange. Irina is one of the few models that have been part of Sports Illustrated 4 years in a row since 2007.
Alright! So now you really know about Cristiano Ronaldo's extremely and almost ridiculously hot girlfriend Irina Shayklislamova, and now check out her photos and videos below.

Stranded! Our Desert-Island Movie Picks
If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? Our editors answer that question in this round-up of staff movie recommendations.
Cast Away
"Wilson! Wilson!" If I were stuck on a desert island, I can't think of two better companions than Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) and his faithful friend, Wilson, the volleyball. There's plenty of advice I could use about surviving on an uninhabited beach, especially dealing with the mental anguish and loneliness. And I love to sail. So, why not try to build my own seacraft?—Fran Lostys, research manager
Don't judge. It's funny and totally addictive. Plus, I'm always looking for a reason to bring "as if" into my vocabulary.—Alison Caporimo, associate editor
The Godfather
Need I say more? Okay, I will. From the opening line, "I believe in America," to the last dramatic shot of Diane Keaton's face as the door is being closed between her and Michael, this movie is as brilliant a masterpiece as ever there was one. In fact, I was just thinking about it the other day—the music alone creates so much of the drama and tension.—Dean Abatemarco, art director
Content continues below ad
The Princess Bride
Ever since I was a kid, my go-to movie to watch while sick in bed or when trying to avoid the winter elements has been The Princess Bride. The movie has a bit of everything—as the grandfather even says, it has "fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles"—and truly gets better with each viewing. You'll be so touched by the human spirit, you'll be convinced that somebody, someday, somehow, will appear on the horizon and rescue you from your deserted cliffs of insanity.—Emilie Harjes, photo researcher
The Dark Knight
It's not necessarily my favorite movie, or even the best Christopher Nolan flick, but between Heath Ledger's awe-inspiring turn as the Joker, the relentlessly tense plot, fantastic action sequences and beefy runtime, I can hardly think of anything that's more watchable. I lined up for the midnight opening, saw it at least two more times in theaters, bought the DVD and the Blu-Ray, and, yes, I would watch it again (and again) on coconut-TV.—Damon Beres, assistant editor
Annie Hall
Wait—isn't everyone going to say Annie Hall? Well, every time I've sat down to watch it, I've somehow managed to get distracted. To be honest, I think I've just placed it on such a high pedestal that every time I find myself with a rainy day, I'm scared to finally pop it in. Because once I watch "the all-time greatest movie ever," what all-time greatest movie ever is there left to live for?—Perri O. Blumberg, assistant editor
Content continues below ad
The Brat Pack Collection
These three John Hughes teen comedy classics (The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, and Weird Science) top my guilty pleasure list. I'd totally be content watching them on loop as I waited out my time on a desert island. Set in the 1980s, the characters, the music, the dialog, and the story lines never get old no matter how many times I watch them. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can identify with Molly Ringwald's characters in any of these films. But above all, these movies are hopeful. I may not be 16 anymore, but I still get goosebumps when the coolest guy in school sweeps Ringwald's character off her feet.—Lauren Gniazdowski, assistant editor
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Not only is this movie funny but it shows Marilyn Monroe at her best: doe-eyed and perfectly dumb. I mean that in a good way! The movie is beautifully photographed with unbelievable costumes, and memorable musical numbers like Marilyn's famous performance of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." It would certainly take my mind off of being stuck on a desert island. Plus, I could sing and dance without worrying anyone would see me.—Adrienne Farr, assistant to the chief content officer/editor-in-chief
It set the standard for the sci-fi horror/thriller. There is only one bloody scene, and it is infamous (the chest busting). The rest of the violence is inferred and hinted at. You see feet being raised from the ground, screams in the distance, the creepy sound of the tracking device, and you see the Alien's segemented attack jaw! Not to mention that it introduces the FIRST female action hero and she saves the cat too. All of that set in an amazingly raw atmosphere that is supposed to our the future. And the tag line…"In Space No One Can Hear You Scream" is classic.—Jeff Nesmith, digital production director
Content continues below ad
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
I repeatedly watch Steven Spielberg's epic adventures, so I knew I wanted to choose one of them, but which one… Jurassic Park? E.T.? Hook? Definitely not Jaws—I'm stranded on a desert island! Suddenly the theme song to Indiana Jones began playing in my head, and my favorite bullwhip-carrying archaeologist easily swung his way to the top of my list. With the charm of Harrison Ford and Sean Connery, plus the wonkiest obstacle course of all (complete with an invisible bridge), there's never a dull moment. Even just summarizing the film makes me want to watch it again...—Shirley Li, intern
Mary and Max
There are cliché movie plots—rags to riches, voyage and return, overcoming the monster—and then there's the storyline of Mary and Max. This quirky claymation film is about two unlikely pen pals who correspond for 20 years: Mary Daisy Dinkle, a homely 8-year-old Australian girl, and Max Jerry Horowitz, a morbidly obese 44-year-old New Yorker (voiced by Phillip Seymour Hoffman) whose only friend is chocolate. As one critic put it, "It's what Pixar might come up with if their characters found themselves off the rails." Never before have oddness and friendship been so beautifully celebrated.—Sheri Alzeerah, intern
Under the Tuscan Sun
Stuck on a desert island... No companions, just sand, waves and maybe a tropical storm for excitement—sounds wonderful for about a week or maybe two. Then I would long for companionship, greener scenery, and food that would please the senses. I would yearn to travel through fields of sunflowers to an old village in the hills, enjoy a view of the Amalfi coast or laugh with friends around a table laden with Tuscan foods in a villa surrounded by olive groves. Yes: Under the Tuscan Sun.—Ann DiCesare, head librarian
Content continues below ad
Lost in Translation
What did he say to her at the end? If that's the thought you have at the end of this beautiful movie about love, you've missed the point.—Diane Dragan, executive digital director

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Food geek, culinary tinkerer, freelance writer and author of Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It and Can It, Bottle It, Smoke It.
Punchy key lime curd is delicious spread on breakfast toast, dolloped onto cake, or slathered between graham crackers. From Karen Solomon, author of Asian Pickles and Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It.
The addition of Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, and red chile flakes adds complexity and polish to this versatile syrup. Drizzle it on pancakes, yogurt, and ice cream.
Developed by cookbook author Karen Solomon, this tangy, piquant Asian pear pickle tastes great on its own, on a chicken sandwich, in an arugula salad, or paired with blue cheese. If you can't find Asian pears, any kind of pear can be subbed in here;
You don't need to buy (and store!) a bulky food dehydrator. These simple techniques will help you make the most of oven drying fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish - no special equipment required.
Slightly fruitier and lighter in calories than a traditional vinaigrette, this creamy dressing offers a nice tang and is especially great with peppery greens like arugula. Bonus points fur using homemade marmalade!
Puckery carrot ribbons made punk rawk with horseradish, chile flakes, and ginger.
These long, brown, starchy-looking vegetable logs boil up beautifully in soup (pickled or raw) and it's terrific in any kind of stir fried or boiled rice dish. As a pickle, it fully stands up on its own.
This preparation is extremely simple, and it's a unique cure for the common marmalade to preserve orange flavor. With a dusting of richness from toasted nuts, a spike of floral Szechuan peppercorns and chile's one-two punch.
You're on your own for the corned beef and the herring. But if it's Jewish deli style fermented dill pickles you seek, you have found them.
Pickles and beer, together at last. The subtle malt and bitterness of beer adds another dimension to garlicky, spicy, assertive cukes.

After a very 'rolly' night anchored off Playa Blanca last night we were up before sunrise once again and motored down to the bay we were in the previous night near Papagayo for another day of sunbathing, swimming and fishing. Again the fish were being very elusive and I only managed to catch one decent pan fish which Tracey has claimed as hers. After lunch we sailed over to Corrallejo on Fuertaventura and anchored into the Marina, Tim our first guest comes tomorrow and ...
Change of scenery but Still Anchored Off
... I took the dinghy in to shore to buy some candles while Tracey had a shower and it was really on form, it was powering along like a speed boat. You can leave then on the beach here all day and night if you want but I was only gone 20 mins before I was back aboard. After planning our little move tomorrow and being rocked about like a 'Bucking Bronco' we read a little before going to bed, another day in paradise ...
Anchored Off
... 8 mtrs and she got hold first time, we felt a bit rusty but everything went well and there were no dramas. Once we were sure she was holding Tracey made lunch. We were a couple of hundred metres from the beach and when we looked out across the beach everybody it seemed was naked, not a pretty sight in some circumstances I can tell you. Anchoring off is truly the best thing about sailing for me, it just gives you that fantastic ...
Lazy day Off
It was yet another Bank Holiday in Spain again today, so we thought if you can't beat em, join em. After breakfast we took the snorkels and our towels down to the tourist beach at Playa Blanca to get our 'fish' fix for the week. We had a good couple of hours swimming along the rocks and on the beach before popping back to the Marina and using their swimming pool which is in with ...
White Rabbits
... the place is very well serviced here with supermarkets, loads of shops and tons of good looking inexpensive bars and eateries. Joe and Ester would love it here and we need to be letting them know what a little gem the Marina Village actually is. We came back to the boat for Tapas in the afternoon but we're both so stuffed afterwards we had to sunbathe and sleep it off for a while. Still after a couple of hours we were still that full it was time to walk off our ...
