The present invention generally relates to computer systems, and more particularly to downloading of web pages from a remote computer system.
Some contemporary web servers include a filtering mechanism that evaluates an address, such as a web page address, to determine if that address should be handled in any special way (e.g. processed to add in dynamic content). A web server with a filter evaluates content that is requested by a browser, and, if there is dynamic content that is to be added to the web page, runs code to retrieve the dynamic content. The dynamic content is usually pulled from a database, and may or may not be combined with a template page (e.g., an HTML template page). One problem with this system is that for servers having only a few pages with dynamic content, checking all documents for dynamic content is an expensive process, wasting server resources and resulting in slower client experience and fewer clients that may be handled by an individual server.
One more disadvantage of such a 'filtering' scheme is that, if filters are utilized, the filters may have to be written differently for different web servers. In addition, various website hosting companies may not want to install filters on their servers due to the reduced client workload mentioned above.
An alternative method used by contemporary web servers to provide web pages having dynamic content is to enable a file type other than HTML or XML, with a different file extension (e.g., .asp instead of .htm). The different extension is easily recognized by the web server, and thus the expensive filtering operation is not required. Although this solution addresses the expense of filtering the web pages, the alternative file types have other drawbacks, for example, .asp files cannot be easily edited using current web page authoring programs.
Another alternative used by contemporary web servers to provide dynamically rendered web pages is to utilize multiple pages, wherein a first page sent to a client machine includes a link to a dynamically rendered page. A browser scans the page and requests the dynamically rendered page according to the link information. The dynamic page is then rendered to the user. A problem with this solution is that a web page author is required to create more than one web page (e.g., a dynamic page using asp and an HTML page including the link) for every dynamically rendered web page.
Briefly, the present invention provides a method and system for downloading an editable web page (e.g., an HTML web page) having corresponding dynamic content (collectively a "dynamically rendered web page") without requiring filtering of the addresses of the pages at the server, and then rendering the page in a way that adds dynamic content at the server. To this end, dynamically rendered web pages are provided with a special script therein, whereby the server does not treat the page any differently from other pages having only static content. In response to a client request for a dynamically rendered web page, the server sends the editable page with the script embedded therein as it would any other page, i.e., without filtering.
When the script is executed at the client, it creates a frame in the browser, and provides a reference to a DLL that is located on the server along with the address for the same requested web page. The DLL is executed at the server and, in response, opens the dynamically rendered web page (at the server), retrieves dynamic content for the web page from a database, loads the dynamic content into the document, and returns the web page with the dynamic content to the browser as the content for the newly created frame. The use of the embedded script provides the benefit that users do not have to create a separate frameset page. In addition, the user may edit the static parts of the page directly, since the script is not executed in an HTML document editing application. The use of a frame also provides the benefit that the content is visibly rendered only once to the viewer.
The reference to the dynamically rendered web page thus comprises a URL to a DLL instead of a URL to the actual file for the dynamically rendered web page. A base tag is created that represents a dynamically-set URL to the actual file for the dynamically rendered web page. The base tag may be used in relative hyperlinks (links to pages or other content that are related to the dynamically rendered web page), so that the hyperlinks are not broken. In addition, the target for the base tag is set to "parent", so that navigation from within the frame navigates a user to outside the frame, instead of maintaining the user within the frame. Also, the pages are editable, in that when a file is opened for editing, the editing application ignores the script that creates a frame in the browser, and edits the contents of the page directly.
Parameters that are sent to the dynamically rendered web page are passed to DLL by appending the string for the parameters to the URL for the DLL. In this manner, the parameters are acted on by the DLL, and may cause different dynamic content to be displayed in the web page. For example, parameters to sort the dynamically loaded content according to particular criteria are added to a DLL, and the sort parameters are applied to the dynamic content upon loading. This feature permits a user to click on a link to sort the content, which affects the URL in the address bar, not just the URL to the DLL inside of the frame. Thus, when the user emails a hyperlink to the sorted content, or saves that page in favorites in a browser, the URL contains all of the necessary information to retrieve that same sorted state.
Other advantages will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
Exemplary Operating Environment
Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced with other computer system configurations, including hand-held devices, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers and the like. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
With reference to
A number of program modules may be stored on the hard disk, magnetic disk 29, optical disk 31, ROM 24 or RAM 25, including an operating system 35, (including a file system 36 therein and/or associated therewith), one or more application programs 37, other program modules 38 and program data 39. A user may enter commands and information into the personal computer 20 through input devices such as a keyboard 40 and pointing device 42. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 21 through a serial port interface 46 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port or universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 47 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 23 via an interface, such as a video adapter 48. In addition to the monitor 47, personal computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers.
The personal computer 20 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 49. The remote computer 49 may be another personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the personal computer 20, although only a memory storage device 50 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the personal computer 20 is connected to the local network 51 through a network interface or adapter 53. When used in a WAN networking environment, the personal computer 20 typically includes a modem 54 or other means for establishing communications over the wide area network 52, such as the Internet. The modem 54, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 23 via the serial port interface 46. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the personal computer 20, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers may be used.
Editable Dynamically Rendered Web Pages
The client machine 202 includes a Web authoring tool 208 (e.g., Microsoft Corporation's FrontPage� web authoring tool). The Web authoring tool 208 may be used to edit or create Web files. In the example shown, the web authoring tool 208 may be used to access web files 210 1-210 N that reside in a web site 212. The client machine also includes network access software, such as a browser 216, for viewing Web files (e.g., the web files 210 1-210 N). As is described further below, if the web file 210 being viewed includes dynamic information, the present invention provides a new method by which the dynamic information may be accessed from a database (e.g., a database 214 for the website 212) and combined with the respective web file for viewing.
The Web server machine 204 includes Web server software 218 for accessing and serving the web Files 210 1-210 N upon request. In addition to conventional features, the Web server software 218 additionally includes executable code, preferably in the form of a dynamic link library (DLL) 220, the function of which is described below.
The web files 210 1-210 N described herein are preferably formed from an editable language, for example, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). HTML-created pages permit easy embedding of hyperlinks to web-based URLs or local references, and editing by a designer or a user. Note, however, there is no intention to limit the present invention to HTML, as virtually any page format language, e.g., XML (Extensible Markup Language) or DHTML (Dynamic HTML) or other page creation mechanism will suffice.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, web files 210 that are rendered with dynamic content include a list of commands, or command information, such as in the form of a script, in the web file. For example, the web file 210 3 shown in
In any event, the user, via the client machine 202, requests the web file 210 3 from the web server machine 204. The web server software 218 receives the request and retrieves the web file 210 3 (steps 2 and 3). The web file 210 3 is then served to the browser 216 (step 4).
The process described thus far is the same process that may be used to retrieve a web file that includes only static data. A web file having only static data may be rendered by the browser 216 after being received by the browser. In contrast, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, when a web file having dynamic content therein is received by the browser 216, the browser scans the web file and finds the script 222, which is executed by the client machine 202. When the script 222 is executed, it first creates in the browser 216 a frameset 300 (step 5). A frameset allows a single browser window to be divided into one or more sections, each with an independent web page loaded inside it.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the frameset 300 is preferably a single frame frameset that takes up the entire browser window. As is known, when a contemporary browser is commanded to construct a frameset, the browser will ignore the remaining text in the file (e.g., static data and/or a reference to dynamic data), so the frame is created, but typically nothing else is rendered in the browser.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the script 222 also provides a reference (e.g., a URL) to the DLL 220 and the address for the same requested web file (e.g., the URL for web file 210 3). The references to the DLL and the web file are forwarded to the web server machine 204 (step 6), and the DLL 220 is executed at the web server machine 204. Upon execution, the DLL 220 retrieves and opens the web file (steps 7 and 8), and scans through the document for an indication that database information should be inserted. For example, dynamic content may be retrieved from the database 214 for the web file 210 3 in accordance with instructions in the XML tag 228. If the DLL 220 finds an indication of dynamic information, it retrieves dynamic content for the web file from the database 214 (step 9). The dynamic content is loaded into the web file 210 3, and the web file 210 3 with the dynamic content loaded therein is forwarded to the browser 216 (step 11). The DLL 220 removes or otherwise alters the instructions to write the frameset along with the reference to the DLL in the web file, so that the dynamically combined document does not recursively try to create another frameset and/or request the DLL. Alternatively, the script may check to make sure that the URL of the page on which it's executing does not contain a reference to the DLL which does the dynamic processing, so it will not execute recursively. The combined web file 210 3 and the document become the content for the newly created frameset 300, and are rendered as a viewable document.
Another code package may be substituted for this DLL 220 to provide similar functions. For example, an ASP page or an executable may be utilized, or any mechanism that executes code on a server when a user tries to retrieve it's address.
The following is an example of a script file that may be inserted in a web page having dynamic content in accordance with one aspect of the present invention:

return false;
//========================= owsredir.js ===========
In the above example, at the first part of the script, the frameset 300 is written. The frameset 300 takes up, in this example, one hundred percent of the browser window, and does not have a border. It can be understood that the script may define that the frameset may take up any part of the browser window, with or without a border. However, by taking up one hundred percent of the browser window and not having a border, the process of the present invention of providing a frameset is essentially not noticed by the user. That is, the dynamically rendered web file is retrieved by the server and becomes the content for the entire browser window.
The content of the frameset is defined as the output of the command "redir", which, as is described further below, is the dynamically rendered web file returned from the output of the DLL 220. If there is an error in reading the script, then the script handles appropriately, i.e., sends an error message (e.g., "There was an error in the script").
The function redir includes a determination of the path to the document and the protocol of the server. The script may define a particular protocol in which the function redir will work. For example, if the protocol is not HTTP or some other acceptable protocol, then the script may send an appropriate error message to the client machine (e.g., "This file only works on HTTP servers"). Likewise, if the path to the document is not found or cannot be found, then a message maybe sent to the user.
The script then determines whether there are any queries attached to the URL that was originally sent to the server to request the web file. Parameters that were sent with the original URL request are passed to DLL by appending the string for the parameters to the URL for the DLL. In this manner, the parameters are acted on by the DLL, and become a part of the dynamically rendered web page. For example, parameters to sort the dynamically loaded content according to particular criteria are added to a DLL, and the sort parameters are applied to the dynamic content upon loading. This feature permits a user to click on a link to sort the content, which affects the URL in the address bar, not just the URL to the DLL inside of the frame. Thus, for example, when the user emails a hyperlink to the sorted content, or saves that page in favorites in a browser, the URL contains all of the necessary information to retrieve that same sorted state.
The DLL is then sent instructions to retrieve the dynamic document, and the dynamic document is returned as the content for the frameset 300.
In an alternative embodiment, a frameset is not used, and a link is provided in the web file to the DLL. In this embodiment, the static data in web file is rendered upon the first request for the document, and the DLL returns the dynamically combined document, which replaces the view within the browser. Thus, the user is flashed two different pages, albeit generally close to one another, depending primarily upon connection speeds between the client machine 202 and the web server machine 204. Providing the frameset in the embodiment described with respect to
In another alternative embodiment, I-frames may be utilized for the dynamic data, and the static data may be displayed upon the first request for the web file. As is known, I-frames permit a frame to be entered between text and graphics on a web page, and the content of the I-frame may be filled by other content, for example, dynamic content accessed via a URL. The dynamic data is retrieved by the DLL, and is sent by the web server machine 202 to the browser as the content of the I-frames.
Within the frame, the reference to the dynamically rendered web page becomes a URL to the DLL instead of a URL to the actual file for the dynamically rendered web page. A base tag is created that represents a dynamically-set URL to the actual file for the dynamically rendered web page. As is known by a person of skill in the art, a base tag essentially instructs the browser to pretend that the current page is located at some URL other than where the browser found it. The base tag typically is written into the head section for an HTML page. To dynamically set the base tag to the dynamically rendered web page, the DLL sets the base tag to "parent", which indicates to the browser that the URL to the dynamically rendered web file is the URL for the document within the frame. The base tag may be used in relative hyperlinks (links to pages or other content that is related to the dynamically rendered web page), so that the hyperlinks are not broken. In addition, by setting the target for the base tag to "parent", navigation from within the frame navigates a user to outside the frame, instead of maintaining the user within the frame.
Turning now to an explanation of the operation of the present invention,
At step 500, the browser behaves differently depending upon whether the web file includes instructions to write a frameset or instructions to write I-frames. If the script includes instructions to write I-frames, then step 500 branches to step 700 of
Step 504 tests whether the server handles the proper protocol, e.g., HTTP. If not, step 504 branches to step 506, where the script handles accordingly, e.g., provides an error message. If the server does handle the proper protocol, step 504 branches to step 508, where the script provides a reference (e.g., a URL) to the DLL 220 and the address for the earlier requested web file. The reference to the web file is added to the DLL string.
If there were parameters attached to the original request for the web file, then step 510 branches to step 512, where the parameters are appended to the URL string that identifies the DLL. The DLL string (with parameters) is then forwarded to the server (step 514). If there were not parameters attached to the original request for the web file, then step 510 branches to step 514 where the DLL string is forwarded to the server.
From step 514, the process proceeds to
At step 606, a base tag is defined and set to parent for the combined web file and content. As described above, setting the base tag to parent indicates to the browser that the URL to the content inside the frame is the URL to the actual web file, and not the DLL. At step 608, the web file with the dynamic content loaded therein is forwarded to the browser 216 as content for the frameset. The combined web file and the dynamic content become the content for the newly created frameset, and are rendered by the browser as a viewable document (step 610).
Turning now to
Steps 704 to 706 are logically similar to steps 514-516, and thus for simplicity the description of these steps is not repeated here. The script for each I-frame is executed as it is reached during the course of page rendering. When an I-frame tag is rendered, and the source URL for the dynamic content for the I-frame is determined by the script (step 708), the script is executed and a request is sent to the server to retrieve the I-frame dynamic content (step 710).
At step 712, the DLL is executed at the server. The DLL retrieves the dynamic content (step 714), and sends the dynamic content to the client machine 202 as the content of the I-frame (step 716). The browser renders the dynamic content in the I-frame at step 718. As the I-frame contents are returned, the I-frames may be re-rendered. In a long page, this may happen before all of the static content is rendered.
As can be seen, the present method is advantageous in that it provides a method for downloading an editable web page having corresponding dynamic content without requiring filtering of addresses returned by the server. Moreover, by providing a frameset, the present invention provides the dynamically rendered web page in what appears to a user to be a single downloading process.
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, a certain illustrated embodiment thereof is shown in the drawings and has been described above in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form or forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Women in these dumb comedies always fall into two categories: the super-sweet girl next door whos turned on by male antics, and the scolding, castrating figure. Old School briefly gives us a third type the girlfriend who when you come home early from a business trip you discover is into gangbanging (Juliette Lewis). But shes gone from the film after 10 minutes, and the rest of this frat-house farce is devoted to men behaving stupidly. Although the script by director Todd Phillips and Scot Armstrong has its witty moments, like many real-life fraternity activities, it tries too hard to be cool or funny (wrestling in a pool of K-Y Jelly, anyone?). But the three stars, Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn, often turn water into wine, or at least cheap keg beer, with their nonchalant portrayals of three 30-year-old friends who start a fraternity on their towns college campus. Vaughn is especially fun to watch, perhaps because hes revisiting his Swingers character. Craig Kilborn, Seann William Scott, and Jeremy Piven also appear. (90 minutes)

From Our Editors
A photographer since age 16, Shayna Seaman took a sidetrack into graphic design in college, but soon returned to her first love. After educating herself further about the craft, she and former film student Johnny Bueno founded Pwnage Studios—an homage to Johnny's passion for video games. Today, they work as a team, aided by a few assistants as they capture images of newborns, children, and adults in green parks and other outdoor locations.
Using Canon 5D cameras with L-series lenses, Shayna and Johnny adopt a photojournalistic approach, snapping as many photos as they can in each session to capture loose, candid shots. Though they work in a defined style, they take time before shoots to get to know their subjects and accommodate any special requests. During post-shoot editing, they can render images in color or black and white, helping to achieve a dramatic effect or make photos more easily viewable by dogs.

School of Communication Studies
Scripps College of Communication
Dr. William Benoit, an expert on political communication, studies campaign messaging in all forms to determine whether positive or negative communication is more effective.
Researching political races from 1952-2012, Benoit and his co-authors determined several themes that many may find surprising, given the perception of most political campaigns:
On the flip side of that, Benoit says a look at the media coverage of the same time period paints a very different picture:
These trends are fairly universal, Benoit says, affecting elections from gubernatorial races to the White House. Ironically, he adds, public surveys show that voters said policy or the current issues, not character, determined how they vote, despite how the candidates may have been portrayed in the media.
"Candidate sponsored ads as a group are persuasive and sometimes they do sway voters, reinforcing and changing attitudes and sometimes helping voters make up their minds," Benoit said. "But it would seem that the candidate who talks more about policy may be more likely to win."
In addition to his research surrounding political messaging, Benoit is an expert scholar on image repair, authoring papers on such recent high profile news stories involving AIG's chief executive officer during the buy-out scandal and the firing of National Public Radio's Juan Williams for public comments he made regarding Muslims.
One of the most published scholars in the School of Communication Studies, Benoit has appeared in numerous peer-reviews journals, including Communication Monographs, Journal of Communication, Business Communication Quarterly and Political Science Quarterly.

Pineapple Blueberry Smoothie
For breakfast or after a workout these days Jonathan has been making smoothies. They are such a great post-workout treat because they are easy on the system, and they are so healthy! He's a protein fan, so he likes to add the yogurt. They are always so different because we always have a variety of fruits around, so they are never boring. It has been so fun to come up with different variations. We try to only share our faves with you.
The Verdict: Pineapple is hands down the best fruit (in my opinion) for sweetening. So yummy. The yogurt makes this smoothie more filling. Love it!
- 1 cup ice
- 2/3 cup water
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt
- 2 cups pineapple
- 1 pear
- 1 banana, peeled
- 1/2 orange, peeled

Beyond Greed, by Brian Rosner
Monday, 14 December 2009
Interested in mission?
new classrooms!
- ... window frames eaten out by termites that crumble on touch.
... flyscreens ripped around the edges and blowing in the breeze.
... louvre frames rusted, unshut-able, unable to keep out the rain.
... having to stop class to remove glass panes before they fall and break on the floor.
... the growing pile of louvre glass panes in the corner.
... the concrete bricks, never painted, dull and dirty.
Then in come the team from backyard blitz... no, sorry, the team from changing rooms... no, that's the team from Christ Church St Ives Youth Group (all having just finished their HSC). Three of four days of hard work later and...
- ... freshly painted classrooms, inside and out.
... new timber in the window frames.
... new louvre frames installed, no panes missing.
... flyscreens replaced, no more holes.
... corrugated iron roof painted to prevent rusting.
The classrooms look better than ever. The students won't be able to believe their eyes and will appreciate your hard work very much. It will mean a lot to them, as it does to us, that you have put love into action so far from home where the benefit to you is but the joy of having served your brothers and sisters.
The team also covered library books and laid the foundation for a water-tank next to the library.
Though I was not there at the time, I have heard report that all their work was carried out with much eagerness, maturity and determination.
Thank you for your hard work and it was a pleasure to share with you in the work of Christ in this way.

What's in between in a reaction matters just as much as what sets it off
Roald Hoffmann
One reason intermediates don't get much press is that they are, well, intermediate. They decompose easily. They are not around in large concentrations, or for very long. They are fleeting. You have to be quick and handy to catch a glimpse of them, say, by observing a characteristic spectrum. Your method has to be exquisitely sensitive, for in principle the better the catalyst—the greater its turnover number—the less chance you will have to observe the intermediates. The title of this column may evoke a small smile from the catalytic chemist, who knows that if you have a long-lived intermediate, you are unlikely to have a good catalyst.
Enough talk; we need an illustration of the detection of an intermediate. In this context, I cannot resist showing one of the greatest scientific images of all time: the smoking gun in our understanding of how chlorofluorocarbons cause the ozone hole. It begins when chlorofluorocarbons, inert and harmless at sea level, are photolyzed in the stratosphere to give not one but a series of chlorine reservoirs: Cl2, HOCl, ClNO2. These compounds are adsorbed on ice crystals in polar clouds and then photolyzed by spring sunlight, easily releasing Cl atoms. These atoms then initiate a catalytic chain that decomposes ozone. The simplest possible mechanism for that decomposition, first proposed in the 1970s, is as follows:
But nothing is simple in this world (except for our minds when we listen to those political ads), and this mechanism is no exception. As musician Joe South wrote, "I never promised you a rose garden." The sequence above requires oxygen atoms, which, as it turns out, are scarce in the Antarctic stratosphere. The actual course of events is more complicated, and includes the four essential steps below.
The overall reaction for the simpler mechanism, then, is:
for the second sequence, it is:
where hν represents energy from sunlight. In both mechanisms, Cl atoms are the catalyst and ClO is an intermediate. Like the Stille coupling, the second mechanism has multiple intermediates, also including ClOOCl and OOCl.
The very reactive intermediate ClO is not something you can pull off the shelf. In the 1980s a spectroscopic probe was created to detect the tiny amounts of ClO in the polar atmosphere. The probe was put on board a plane that took off in 1987 from Punta Arenas, at the southern tip of Chile, and flew at high altitude south toward the pole and into the ozone hole. The plane also carried a probe for ozone. The figure above shows the resulting measurements. They demonstrate, ever so clearly, that the ozone concentration goes down (that's the hole!) just where the ClO concentration goes up. I hope you see the units of the ClO measurement (parts per trillion volume), to appreciate the experimental achievement here.
Characterizing a reaction intermediate is hard work—harder, I think, than finding a catalyst. Mind you, my catalytic chemist friends disagree. Their students struggle to discover new catalysts. But as an outsider, a theoretical chemist, when I look at the chemical literature, here is what I see: Reaction mechanisms, where intermediates are lurking, are easy to write down but often devilishly difficult to pin down. Into the establishment of mechanisms goes great experimental ingenuity in weighing the evidence from rates of reactions, isotope effects and the direct detection of intermediates. This is as true of reactions that are not catalytic as ones that are; few reactions proceed in one fell swoop, and most go through intricate sequences with fleeting intermediates galore.
As Lewis Carroll wrote in The Hunting of the Snark,
You may seek it with thimbles—and seek it with care;
You may hunt it with forks and hope;
You may threaten its life with a railway-share;
You may charm it with smiles and soap—
And you may hope that, even if you do not vanish, neither will your chemical reputation, as has that of more than one unfortunate seeker. By comparison, finding the overall reaction and the catalyst seems simpler. In favoring the catalyst, I would say that we take the easy road in what we admire.

I Can Haz Quantum Decoherence?
2nd place in Derby #149: Psychedelia, with 951 votes!
Dear Albert,
Thanks so much for agreeing to watch Whiskers while my wife and I are away on holiday. He'll be no trouble at all, I assure you. He's quiet, keeps to himself, and requires so little maintenance, you may at times wonder if he's still alive. I often ask myself the very same question, in fact.
Just a few rules to remember. Try not to shake or jostle his steel box as much as possible. It may have some ill effect on the cat if, of course… well, you know. Also, whatever you do, DO NOT OPEN THE BOX. That will only lead to two very different outcomes, both of which probably wouldn't be pleasant for as long as Whiskers has been in there.
Otherwise, provided you don't place it somewhere you might accidentally trip over it, there should be nothing to worry about. Thanks again!
Your friend,
Wear this shirt: when you want to feel simultaneously clothed and naked.
Don't wear this shirt: into Dirk Gently's office.
This shirt tells the world: "Okay, honey, when we drop off the time machine at the time machine, let me do the talking. These Quantum Mechanics can be shifty."
We call this color: Superposition of Brown States
Design Placement: Centered
Design Size:
3X – S: 12" x 11.34"

Please check our sizing chart before you order. The Woot Tee follows a classic closer-fitting style. If you prefer a baggier look, order a larger size. If there is not a larger size, consider starting a belly-hanging-out trend.

When you register you start off as a Junior Member then a Member then a Senior Member. what are all the rankings and at what post count do they change?:confused:
This is what I got so far, not sure if it right thought???
0-50 post:Junior Member
51-100 post: Member
101-???: Senior Member
sounds close to what I guessed I am over 100 and noticed I am a senior member did not notice when it changed though still unsure about the reputation thing though but that has its own thread
i don't like the rankings. a little dull, ehh?!?!?
these are the ones from the fightforum, but we don't want to copy
New Member 0
Amateur 5
Rookie 25
Top Prospect 50
Up and Coming 100
Professional 150
Contender 300
Top Ranked 600
Champion 1000
Super Star 4000
Hall of Famer 7000
All Time Legend 10000
i'm of course a professional. We could also do the belt system
umm we were referring to the ranking system the forum automaticly puts below your name when you make a post its based of the number of posts, not a system the admin or moderators set up
yeah i know but this would be cooler for the amount of posts.
for you you would be a professional. and i would be a rookie
ok yea it would de a little different but you faild to have a listing for a GOD :-P
0-25 wimpy a$$ B%tch

hmm is there anything after Senior member, This is post 274 and still just a senior member not that I mind just curious
I know that it IS based on posts, though I don't know when it will change again for you, The Don, But my guess will be... at 500. If I had the power, I would change what the ranks are. But I'm just a mod, not an admin.
cool well if I am the first I will let everyone know, and really the only reason I have so many posts is cause during the 8 hours I am at work this is one of the few sites I can use and it allows me to send PMs to my fiance since I do not have an instant messenger service that gets through my companies security

A few weekends back, a number of us bussed out to Cambridge, to see how the "other half" lived (and this is precisely the type of poor taste in humour that had Oxford townies beating up gownies 800 years ago, prompting the mass exodus of said gownies to found Cambridge as a sort of refugee camp with books). While some have trivialized any distinction between the two institutions (Patterson 2011), significant differences are immediately recognizable. While Oxford enjoys the thriving bustle and genteel urbanity of a small city, Cambridge offers the idyllic provincialism of a sleepy hamlet (and any incidental Danish associations here will be hermeneutically relevant in teasing out the difference in drinking habits between the two: as the Bard tells us, your Englishman will drink your Dane dead drunk easily).
Our trip included an eye opening visit to the chapel at King's College. To their credit, Cambridge did manage to slap together a pretty good facsimile of an Oxford college chapel, and KC's stained glass presents one of the finer extant representatives of medieval glass. The glass itself has a bit of history, having survived at least two separate campaigns of militant madmen. During the English Civil war, Cromwell had quartered his troops in Cambridge. In what was justified as a righteous bit of anti-idolatry, but in reality was just a righteous bit of goofing around, Cromwell's troops smashed the glass in the majority of Cambridge windows. Since they were stabling the horses at King's College Chapel they spared its glass, so as to keep the horses from getting chilled in the winter drafts. One might legitimately enquire why the horses were not stabled in the stables, but these were, of course, reserved for the Irish.
Along Trinity Street, we witnessed the magnificent Chronophage, an enormous golden clock designed by inventor Dr. John Taylor in homage to John Harrison, who invented the Harrison time as an answer to the problem of longitudinal orientation in naval navigation. Sitting atop the clock is a fierce, demonic grasshopper for the grasshopper escapement, munching up the hours like they were fields of the Pharoah. Besides being both a monument of mechanical precision and poignant symbol of the human condition, the Chronophage also serves to remind students to stop standing around, gawking at clocks when their weekly tutorial papers remain unwritten.
Also on the itinerary, a visit to the Samuel Pepys library, situated at fabulous Magdalene College (with the extra 'e' added to differentiate it from its sister school, Magdalen, in Oxford, and you French speakers will note the jibe on the Oxford branch's relative femininity), former stomping grounds of Shimer Nat Sci and Old English heavyweight, Bev 'Bevowulf' Thurber. Items of bibliographic interest here include a first edition of Newton's Principia, a longtime favorite of Shimer facilitators for the 'exorbitant' amount of student grey matter destroyed by it. Also of note, Pepys thrilling account of the London Fire of 1666, in which he valiantly dashed from place to place, conferring with his aristocratic colleagues that the city was "raging every which way." The conflagration was eventually attributed to a fire at the abode of Charles II's baker, though given the year, one wonders if some mucking about with prisms by students desperately trying to finish their light papers might also be responsible. Fortunately, the fire only claimed seven human lives, but the damage to the royal pudding supply was irreparable, as attested to by Charles II's alliance soon after with Louis XIV, who's pastry chefs were legendary.
All in all, an informative trip, and though the punters stand outside the boat (c'mon, are we animals?), no doubt we can forgive our Cambridge neighbors their rustic foibles in recognition of all their wonderful, opaque and intractable contributions to Shimer's Nat Sci core readings.

Latest figures showed 678 killed in violent accidents. The grim report on the country's celebration of the three-day holi- day was: Traffic fatalities 306: drownings 247; violent deaths from miscellaneous causes 135. The country-wide survey covered vio- lent deaths from 6 p.m. local time Friday to midnight Monday. The 1949 toll was the high- est ever recorded for any Fourth of July. The previous record of accidental deaths on the Independ- ence day holiday was 628 in the three-day period in' 1941. This year's mark compared with 571 deaths reported over a three-day period in 1948. Sweltering weather across the nation brought an outpouring of millions onto the highways head- ed for vacation lands and resorts. The traffic toll, generally ex- pected, was the leader. The Na- Council had esti- mated 29U persons would lose their lives in traffic mishaps over the holiday. 240 Drownings The hot and humid weather sent millions to lakes and rivers to cool off and the 240 drownings over the three-day period was a record.

Faulty code
I'm getting this code p0135 o2 heater circuit bank 1 sensor 1. So I put a new front o2. But code keeps coming on. What do I need to do. Did i misunderstood the code. The sensor 2 has same faulty code but getting toms tune this week and it turns off rear o2 so not to worried about that but help with the other one would be great. Thanks
Check your wiring harness and connectors.
P0135 - HO2S Sensor Circuit Malfunction (HO2S-11)
During testing the HO2S Heaters are checked for opens/shorts and excessive current draw. The test fails when current draw exceeds a calibrated limit and/or an open or short is detected.
Short to VPWR in harness or HO2S.
Water in harness connector.
Open VPWR circuit.
Open GND circuit.
Low battery voltage.
Corrosion or poor mating terminals and wiring
Damaged HO2S heater.
Damaged PCM.
If your getting my tune just hang on till you get it and with the predator we will be able to datalo and get the problem fixed
Could be
o2 fuse
to check these 2 with key on unplug the o2 sensor and with a test light see if you have power to the o2 sensor
could be that your running lean , tune and datalog will tell us that , check good for Vac leaks , dirty MAF
Ok only getting p0135 sensor 1 bank 1 heater circuit code now after tune. No vacuum leak fixed that. How do I data log with the tuner?
Check to see what the voltage is with the key on engine not running at the front o2 sensor , unplug it and see what the voltage is , if you have no voltage check the fuese on the fire wall then check the wiring
If you have voltage then datalog and send it to me datalogging is under diagnostics
Ok got it fixed turns out to be a fuse. Question one last code left. It doesn't set off check engine but still. P1000, obd systems readiness test not complete. What is that. Should i be concerned?

WEST HAVEN -- When Mayor John M. Picard was re-elected in November, he vowed to significantly change the composition of the city's boards and commissions.
Monday, he made good on that promise, as the City Council approved several of his candidates for board seats.
Among those approved were four Picard nominations to the Planning and Zoning Commission, bringing the total of mayoral appointments to that board in the last three months to seven.
"I've been telling people for a while that we're making changes to our boards and commissions, something that I've been trying to do for four years with the previous council, and (the current City Council members) understand it's necessary," Picard said Tuesday.
The City Council now contains a majority of candidates aligned with Picard. Many of those replaced on the PZC had served about 15 years, Picard said.
David Riccio was approved for the regular member position previously held by Raymond Ceccarelli; alternate Edward Leavitt, who was just named to that spot in December, became a regular member, taking the spot that had belonged to Howard Davis.
Former Board of Education member T. Sean Maher was selected to fill the alternate spot vacated by Leavitt, and previous Republican City Council at-large candidate Kevin Corcoran was picked to fill Riccio's alternate spot.
Picard also replaced two longtime members in December. The terms of all those he replaced had expired.
The changes were necessary to move the PZC forward, Picard said.
"Whether it's real or perceived, the perception has been ... that it was a very difficult board for the business community (to deal with)," he said.
A few council members, including Councilwoman Nancy Rossi, opposed the changes. Rossi Tuesday said she thought those who have done a good job on boards and commissions should be allowed to continue to serve if they are interested.
She also took issue with the appointment of Andrew "Bud" Giaquinto Jr., who was selected to replace longtime Board of Police Commissioners Chairwoman Lisa Yarbor.
Yarbor is black and should have been replaced with another candidate who represents a racial or ethnic minority, said Rossi, D-7, adding that the city should "pay attention to what's going on in East Haven."
Picard noted that his last appointment to the police board was Deborah Wright, who is black, and that he puts forward qualified and diverse candidates. Yarbor was aware her term had expired, and Picard let her know he would not re-appoint her five years ago, he said.
City Council Chairman Stephen DeCrescenzo said he considers the new appointments a "very, very good thing for the city."
"This is furthermore evidence that there are many intelligent and enthusiastic residents that want to get involved and are willing to serve on these commissions," he said. "I think this is a great thing and it's just the beginning."

The Great Republic by the Master Historians
Effect of the Victory
Bancroft, Hubert H.
The impression made upon the United States and upon Europe by the battle of Manila was in an unexpected degree momentous. The extraordinary nature of the victory won by Commodore Dewey's squadron,--in which the enemy had 1,600 men killed and wounded, lost fourteen ships, valued at millions of dollars, vast stores of coal, supplies, guns, and equipments, together with a great colonial possession of enormous wealth and resources, without the loss of one man or one ship by the victors,--filled the world with amazement and admiration, and caused the United States to ring with enthusiasm for the cool and intrepid commander and his brave sailors. The first news received was through distorted sources at Madrid, where reports came from Manila speaking of glorious action by the Spaniards and confessing by piecemeal Spanish losses. Accustomed to the mendacity of Spanish reports and the duplicity of the officials discharging the function of supervising all information concerning the war, the English-written press of the world eked out from an involved mass of incoherent exultation and evasion the central fact of a sweeping American victory. The moment this was recognized all possibility of obtaining details was destroyed by the cutting of the cable. For a week there was suspense, during which the fact of American victory was confirmed by desperate rioting in Madrid caused by the Spanish people discovering that their losses were greater than Senor Sagasta and his advisers had admitted.
On May 8 the despatch-boat McCulloch arrived at Hong-Kong from Manila with the first official reports from Commodore Dewey. They consisted of two brief messages, but no commander every conveyed to his country in fewer words so much information in detail of such a wonderful achievement. The first message, dated Manila, May 1, but sent only when the second was forwarded, was as follows:--
Squadron arrived at Manila at daybreak this morning. Immediately engaged the enemy and destroyed the following Spanish vessels: Reina Cristina, Castilla, Don Antonio, Isla de Ulloa, Isla de Luzon, Isla de Cuba, General Lezo, Marquis del Duero, Correo, Velasco, Isla de Mindanao, a transport and a water battery at Cavite. The squadron is uninjured and only a few men are slightly wounded. Only means of telegraphing is the American consul at Hong-Kong. I shall communicate with him.
The second, dated at Cavite, May 4, completed his record of the action:--
I have taken possession of the naval station at Cavite and destroyed its fortifications. Have destroyed fortifications at the bay entrance, paroling the garrison. I control the bay completely, and can take the city at any time. The squadron is in excellent health and spirits. The Spanish loss is not fully known, but very heavy; 1,500 killed, including the captain of the Reina Cristina. I am assisting in protecting the Spanish sick and wounded; 250 sick and wounded in hospital within our lines. Much excitement at Manila. Will protect foreign residents.
With these came columns of press reports of the victory. The suspense of a week to Americans accustomed to the procurement and immediate publication of all news at every hazard and at any cost, found relief in a national outburst of praise of the victorious commander and the officers and men of his squadron. In every city and hamlet the news fired the popular imagination. "Dewey day" was set apart in many cities and towns, and school children rehearsed patriotic speeches and songs. Naval authorities of the world testified to the completeness of the demonstration of American fighting ability and to the unprecedented annihilation of an adversary in his own fastness without the slightest loss in return. It was conceded that the name of Dewey should be enrolled among the names of immortal heroes. The Secretary of the Navy, upon the receipt of Commodore Dewey's reports, cabled to him and his men, in the President's name, the thanks of the American people for the "splendid achievement and overwhelming victory," in recognition of which the President appointed Commodore Dewey an acting admiral. On the following Monday the President sent a message to Congress recommending the adoption of a vote of thanks. "The magnitude of this victory," said the President in his message, "can hardly be measured by the ordinary standards of naval warfare. Outweighing any material advantage is the moral effect of this initial success. With this unsurpassed achievement, the great heart of our nation throbs, not with boasting or with greed of conquest, but with deep gratitude that this triumph has come in a just cause, and that by the grace of God an effective step has thus been taken towards the attainment of the wished- for peace. To those whose skill, courage, and devotion have won the fight, the gallant commander and the brave officers and men who aided him, our country owes an incalculable debt."
To the American people the victory at Manila was indisputable proof of the superiority of American training, discipline, intelligence, mechanical skill, and courage, to the ignorant and undisciplined bravery of the Spaniard. The capacity of the free volunteer in the regular branches of armed science as against the forced conscription of the continental systems was again emphasized, and the people now looked confidently to see the same spirit exhibited in the army organizing to occupy Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines. To those countries that believed the American navy to be manned by foreigners and mercenaries disinclined to stand up at the critical moment, the lesson was startling.
The practical results of the combat at Manila were thus stated in a letter by Mr. Beach, an engineer officer on the Baltimore during the battle:
We feel that we have had a great victory here, which we ascribe to several causes. First, the Spaniard is always behind the times. He knew that an American fleet was expected and was so sure of his tremendous superiority that he took absolutely no precautions. The night we ran by the forts (in the early morning of the engagement) the Spanish officers were all at a grand ball. The entrance to the harbor was planted with torpedoes; he thought that was enough, and had no patrol, picket-boats or torpedo-boats on watch. The result is that we ran by their magnificent guns guarding the entrance to Manila Bay, and were out of range inside before the Spaniards knew it.
Another reason for our success was due to Commodore Dewey's orders. Not one of the ships had any intimation that we would run by the forts as we did until thirty miles away. We were by the Spanish forts and at the fleet by 5:30 a. m. on Sunday, May 1. They were ten fighting ships strong, carrying 116 modern guns, to which we opposed a superior fleet of six ships carrying 135 guns. Two of their ships were over 3,200 tons displacement, and the rest were modern gunboats. This fleet was assisted by batteries on shore armed with modern guns, which made their guns superior in number to ours. In number of men engaged they were undoubtedly far superior to us. The Spaniards were absolutely confident of victory. No other outcome was anticipated by them; no preparation was made for a different result. I think that their ships, combined with their forts, made them equal to us, so far as powers of offence and defence were concerned. They had as many modern guns approximating to the same size as we had, and more men to fire them. They should have been able to fire as much weight of shot in a specified time as we did.
The whole result, in other words, lay in the fact that it was the American against the Spaniard. Every shot fired from our fleet was most deliberately, coolly and pitilessly aimed. The Spaniards fired an enormous number of times, but with apparently the most impracticable aim. Shells dropped all around our ship; we were in action for over four hours; hundreds of shot and shell fell close to us. Only five or six pierced us, and they did no damage.
The damage done by our ships was frightful. I have visited all of the sunken Spanish ships, and had I not seen the effects of American marksmanship I would hardly give credit to reports of it. One smokestack of the Castilla, a 3,300-ton Spanish ship, was struck eight times, and the shells through the hull were so many and so close that it is impossible that a Spaniard could have lived on her deck. The other large ship, the Reina Cristina, was perforated in the same way. We disregarded tactics because there was little use therefor. There were our opponents and we went for them bullheadedly and made them exceedingly sick.
The lesson I draw from the fight is the great utility of target practice. The Spaniard has none; we have it every three months. Strengths of navies are compared generally ship for ship; the personnel is just as important. I am confident that had we manned the Spanish ships and had the Spaniards manned our fleet, the American side would have been as victorious as it was. The Spaniard certainly was brave, for he stuck to his guns to the last.
The effect of such a crushing defeat upon Spain was correspondingly disheartening. The riots that ensued in her principal cities compelled the government to proclaim martial law in several provinces. In the Cortes the opposition taunted the government with incapacity and supineness, and recrimination became both bitter and loud. The government had not counted upon nor made plans in the event of defeat any more than had its officials in the Philippines. Yet, with the usual methods of influencing the Spanish people through its power of suppressing or manipulating information in the press, the Cabinet turned to Admiral Cervera's squadron, yet lingering at the Cape Verde Islands, and made ostensible preparations for reprisal.
The threat of sending to the Philippines a new Spanish fleet, much stronger in fighting power than Commodore Dewey's, awoke the Americans to immediate action. The President assigned General Wesley A. Merritt to the command of an army corps of occupation to proceed at once to the support of our fleet at Manila. The forces were to consist of 4,000 regulars and 16,000 volunteer troops, to be accompanied by the cruiser Charleston, and the monitors Monterey and Monadnock. Upon General Merritt was conferred also the supreme power of Military Governor of the Philippines, and an establishment of aides was created to seize and administer the government of those islands under the military laws of the United States as applied to conquered territory. The preparations were carried forward with utmost speed and in a few weeks the first division of the new army was upon the Pacific, preceded by the Charleston with supplies of ammunition and stores in convoy.
