British police are to work with Russian experts in an attempt finally to bring peace to grieving families of the victims of one of Britain's worst-ever tragedies at sea.
The entire crew of the supertrawler FV Gaul was lost when the Hull-based fishing vessel sank without trace off the Norwegian coast during the height of the Cold War.
No distress call was made when the 1,100 tonne ship went down during a fierce storm in the Barents Sea in February 1974 - in a decade when British trawlers were routinely used by the Navy to spy on Soviet naval movements.
The mystery of what happened to the Gaul has endured ever since, amid rumours it was spotted spying on a military complex at Murmansk and sunk by a Russian submarine.
It took more than 20 years before the wreck was finally found in 1997, after a private expedition by a TV crew.
Subsequent searches of the vessel, 70 miles off the north Norwegian coast, found the remains of just three of the 36 crew - Stan Collier, 40; James Wales, 29; and Maurice Spurgeon, 38.
But now other grieving families could finally get confirmation of what happened to their loved ones.
For the human remains of up to ten people have been found on the Rybachy peninsula, Murmansk.
A team of Russian and British experts is working together to try and match the remains to missing crew members, with DNA samples being taken from British families in a bid to help identify the remains.
In a statement, a Foreign Office spokesperson told The Independent: "The Russian authorities have been in touch formally with the FCO suggesting possible direct cooperation between the Russian authorities and Humberside Police in the new year with the aim of conducting relevant tests to identify the remains found in Murmansk."
Tonight a spokesman for the Russian Embassy, London, said: "Currently Russian forensic experts in Murmansk are running tests to determine DNA samples, those should be finished in December." They added: "We are also working on provision of remains samples to the British experts for tests in the UK."
According to the spokesman, the remains were discovered by a Russian World War Two veteran from Murmansk who was involved in previous searches many years ago and who continued to search "on his own initiative until he found those remains last year."
Assistant Chief Constable Alan Leaver from Humberside Police confirmed: "We have met all the families of the crew members lost on the Gaul and will continue to provide them with information as it becomes available."
Humberside Police "will look to work closely with the Russian authorities," who Mr Leaver praised for being "very supportive and helpful."
Experts in Russia are conducting forensic and genetic testing on the remains, and he added: "The force plan to discuss these matters in the New Year - probably towards the end of January - with the Russian authorities."
But Beryl Betts, whose 26-year-old brother Billy Jones was one of those aboard the trawler, has "mixed feelings" about the news.
"My personal opinion is that they should have told us when they were 100 per cent sure. This has spoilt Christmas," said the 74-year-old from Hull.
Other relatives are also "in a state of shock" according to Mrs Betts, who is giving a DNA sample to help in the identification process.
Freezing conditions in the region they were found mean the bodies were never buried, simply covered with rocks.
It remains unclear why it has taken almost 40 years for the remains to be found.
The location where they were discovered is consistent with the area where the crew could have washed ashore, according to Humberside Police.
Responding to the news on Wednesday Lord Prescott, former Deputy Prime Minister and Hull East MP, said the fate of the crew has been "a continuing mystery" and added: "People want an ending to this terrible tragedy."
Theories that the Russians sank the ship have been discounted by previous official investigations, and a public inquiry in 2004 into the disaster concluded the Gaul went down in heavy storms and was not deliberately sunk or pulled down by a submarine.
Lord Prescott commented: "Our trawlers were used in the Cold War. That was a practice that was unacceptable and dangerous." In the case of the Gaul: "I don't think for a second that it was sunk by the Russians but some people believe that."
Hull MPs were briefed by officials on Tuesday and Alan Johnson, Labour MP for Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle, said: "They didn't want to just go to the families and get their hopes up before they'd gone through a bit of a process of elimination, dating the remains, making sure they weren't Russian sailors...they are from the right time frame and it is becoming a reasonable possibility that these could be crew members from the Gaul."
But he admitted not all relatives have welcomed the news. "The first family member I rang yesterday said 'I wish this hadn't happened' because she had the slight feeling that her brother might still be alive. For the family members while there was no news there was hope."

text: Strawberry Pistachio Yogurt Popsicles Recipes By Helen Schofield 29 September 2016 Do you get sweet cravings after dinner? If you've answered yes, then why not try a 4-ingredient fruit popsicles instead? According to HIF food guru, Helen from Scrummy Lane, "These delicious popsicles include fresh strawberries, greek yogurt, crunchy pistachios and smooth honey – so there's certainly nothing to feel guilty about. You don't need to stop there either, as strawberries aren't your only option. You can try blueberries, peaches, pineapple, and raspberries instead." We hope you enjoy! Ingredients 400 grams / 14 ounces strawberries, washed 4 tablespoons honey (plus extra to taste) 500 grams / 18 ounces Greek yogurt 150 grams / 5 ounces pistachios (shelled weight) Instructions Whizz the strawberries in a food processor until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons honey and whizz again to combine. Taste and add more honey if you like. Add the Greek yogurt to a medium-sized bowl and stir through the pistachios and 2 more tablespoons honey. Pour in about a third of the strawberry mixture and stir a few times to create a swirly effect. Spoon alternative layers of strawberries and yogurt mixture into your popsicle moulds, leaving a little bit of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing. Add your popsicle sticks and lid (if your mould has a lid) and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight. Notes Popsicles can sometimes be a little tricky to remove from their moulds! I get mine out of the freezer about 10 minutes before I'm going to eat them, then run the moulds under a warm tap to help release them. I find these are best eaten soon after freezing. If you leave them in the moulds for too long (a week, let's say), unappetizing ice crystals can form. If you'd like to save some or all of the popsicles for later, however, I'd recommend removing from the moulds, wrapping individually in grease-proof or baking paper and sealing in plastic bags before putting back in the freezer.

Getting in the right frame of mind for a round of golf is just as important as a good golf swing. - Dr. Karl Morris
I have been playing golf for 20 years (yeah, started when I was 15) with a break of 5 years beteen 2009-2013. I started playing again early this year and it's just been fantastic. Some people think of golf as a waste of time but I think there is a lot to learn from this game that can make you a better leader...
Don't look back at what happened on the previous holes. Think present and future.
Mind and body coordination. The muscles that constitute your swing should move in-sync. One mistake and the ball will NOT go straight. Attention to detail is paramount.
Control your mood if things go bad. Golf is a mind game. A bad mood and a good swing don't relate.
Build accuracy. You need to know exactly how much you are going to hit.
Commitment. Some holes are crap and the others you birdie. Keep up the spirit to finish the game regardless of how you performed on each hole.
Make quick decisions. Should you play a putter from the sand if the sand is not too soft or would you hit a low iron if stuck behind a tree?
Take calculated Risks. Would you play a safe iron shot or go for the big driver shot when you know you can comfortably par the whole using an iron.
Uncertainty. The wind might take your ball to the left. Deal with it.
Follow through on every shot. No fear.
A good hole does not mean that the next one is also going to be good. You gotta work for it.
Luck plays a part but don't hold onto luck. You can't repeat a hole in one.
What worked last weekend might not work this time. Learn to improvise and adapt to the changing course, pin placement or weather conditions.
Teamwork. We always play in teams of 2 in each four ball.
Friendship. Golf provides opportunities to meet new people.
The more you practice the better you get at it.
The course calls you back every week. It's a challenge that is thrown at you. Go conquer.
Do you play golf? Have any tips? Would love to hear them in the comments below.

Good Friday crucifixion rituals: Philippine devotees nail hands and feet to wooden crosses

Subscribe to ITN News: http://bit.ly/1bmWO8h Catholic devotees in the northern Philippines have been nailed to wooden crosses in a re-enactment of Jesus Christ\'s crucifixion on Good Friday. Hundreds of people gathered to watch the event in the village of Cutud where two-inch nails were hammered through the hands and feet of the devotees. The Catholic Church condemns this practice, but the country has dismissed this and continues to hold annual crucifixion rituals as a form of repent. Report by Sarah Kerr.

A Slice of the Big Apple

Paradise Found
Sun-drenched beaches, endless palm trees and an ocean of crystal clear water – the very essence of a fantasy.

It's What You Say, Not How Much You Say
When you visit a gallery, you are overloaded with visual stimulus. Sometimes, you can feel what emotion or event the artist was trying to portray. But often it's not long before you search for those little information cards to help you decipher the meaning. And that's exactly what copy does with design – give context. […]Read more

Spiceworks is a web application that runs from a "server" machine placed inside your network and is accessed via a web browser.

Who is supressing voters? Please tell me. I voted, I didn't have a problem. I can't be held responsible for what your ancestors did. My family didn't come to this country until the late 1800s. I don't have white guilt. What happened to those people is an abomination. Guess how it was supported? Science, eugenics, and that status quo. I am not a Republican like you seem to think. I am not a blind nationalist by any means. That's why I'm not swallowing the propaganda they are pushing about National Security or why I have to have my balls groped to get on an airplane. Why we have to go to war in Syria, why they need to take guns from law abiding citizens. All I'm asking for is a little tolerance to other opinions. We have more in common than you think. If you're looking for a perfect system you won't find one. It's funny how the script has flipped from ten years ago under Bush. We oppose the regime and somehow we are blind nationalists. You're argument doesn't even make sense!

The only argument i'm making is that the Republican party has been hijacked by it's moronic right wing fringe, the modern day "no nothings". If you are not a Republican you must have at least a triple digit IQ. Congratulations! You do seem to lean towards the conspiracy theorists camp. Which indicates some degree of mental imbalance and a serious intellectual deficit. Who has confiscated your gun (metal penis ?) I fly all the time and no one has tried to grope my balls.

Who elected you the moral authority, numbnutz? Who said I was?
I thought it was a nation, not a cult! Its a Nation built on the founding principles of God given or natural rights. But we all see you have a difficult time grasping that concept.
Who the f#ck are you to decide who's a real American and who isn't? Based on founding principles one can see an American vs socialist, leftist, or liberal, progressive democrat.

12 rules for being a liberal
1) You justify your beliefs about yourself by your status as a liberal, not your deeds. The most sexist liberal can think of himself as a feminist while the greediest liberal can think of himself as generous. This is because liberals define themselves as being compassionate, open minded, kind, pro-science and intelligent not based on their actions or achievements, but based on their ideology. This is one of the most psychologically appealing aspects of liberalism because it allows you to be an awful person while still thinking of yourself as better than everyone else.
2) You exempt yourself from your attacks on America: Ever notice that liberals don't include themselves in their attacks on America? When they say, "This is a racist country," or ",This is a mean country," they certainly aren't referring to themselves or people who hold their views. Even though liberals supported the KKK, slaughtering the Indians, and putting the Japanese in internment camps, when they criticize those things, it's meant as an attack on everyone else EXCEPT LIBERALS. The only thing a liberal believes he can truly do wrong is to be insufficiently liberal.
3) What liberals like should be mandatory and what they don't like should be banned: There's an almost instinctual form of fascism that runs through most liberals. It's not enough for liberals to love gay marriage; everyone must be forced to love gay marriage. It's not enough for liberals to be afraid of guns; guns have to be banned. It's not enough for liberals to want to use energy-saving light bulbs; incandescent light bulbs must be banned. It's not enough for liberals to make sure most speakers on campuses are left-wing; conservative speakers must be shouted down or blocked from speaking.
4) The past is always inferior to the present: Liberals tend to view traditions, policies, and morals of past generations as arbitrary designs put in place by less enlightened people. Because of this, liberals don't pay much attention to why traditions developed or wonder about possible ramifications of their social engineering. Its like an architect ripping out the foundation of a house without questioning the consequences and if the living room falls in on itself as a result, he concludes that means he needs to make even more changes.
5) Liberalism is a jealous god and no other God may come before it: A liberal "Christian" or "Jew" is almost an oxymoron because liberalism trumps faith for liberals. Taking your religious beliefs seriously means drawing hard lines about right and wrong and that's simply not allowed. Liberals demand that even God bow down on the altar of liberalism.
6) Liberals believe in indiscriminateness for thought: This one was so good that I stole it from my buddy, Evan Sayet: " Indiscriminateness of thought does not lead to indiscriminateness of policy. It leads the modern liberal to invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success. Why? Very simply if nothing is to be recognized as better or worse than anything else then success is de facto unjust. There is no explanation for success if nothing is better than anything else and the greater the success the greater the injustice. Conversely and for the same reason, failure is de facto proof of victimization and the greater the failure, the greater the proof of the victim is, or the greater the victimization."

7) Intentions are much more important than results: Liberals decide what programs to support based on whether they make them feel good or bad about themselves, not because they work or don't work. A DDT ban that has killed millions is judged a success by liberals because it makes them feel as if they care about the environment. A government program that wastes billions and doesn't work is a stunning triumph to the Left if it has a compassionate sounding name. It would be easier to convince a liberal to support a program by calling it the Saving Women And Puppies Bill" than showing that it would save 100,000 lives.
8) The only real sins are helping conservatism or harming liberalism: Conservatives often marvel at the fact that liberals will happily elect every sort of pervert, deviant, and criminal you can imagine without a second thought. That's because right and wrong don't come into the picture for liberals. They have one standard: Does this politician help or hurt liberalism? If a politician helps liberalism, he has a free pass to do almost anything and many of them do just that.
9) All solutions must be government-oriented: Liberals may not be as down on government as conservatives are, but on some level, even they recognize that it doesn't work very well. So, why are liberals so hell bent on centralizing as much power as possible in government? Simple, because they believe that they are better and smarter than everyone else by virtue of being liberals and centralized power gives them the opportunity to control more people's lives. There's nothing scarier to liberals than free people living their lives as they please without wanting or needing the government to nanny them.
10) You must be absolutely close minded: One of the key reasons liberals spend so much time vilifying people they don't like and questioning their motivations is to protect themselves from having to consider their arguments. This helps create a completely closed system for liberals. Conservative arguments are considered wrong by default since they're conservative and not worth hearing. On the other hand, liberals aren't going to make conservative arguments. So, a liberal goes to a liberal school, watches liberal news, listens to liberal politicians, has liberal friends, and then convinces himself that conservatives are all hateful, evil, racist Nazis so that any stray conservatism he hears should be ignored. It makes liberal minds into perfectly closed loops that are impervious to anything other than liberal doctrine.
11) Feelings are more important than logic: Liberals base their positions on emotions, not facts and logic and then they work backwards to shore up their position. This is why it's a waste of time to try to convince a liberal of anything based on logic. You don't "logic" someone out of a position that he didn't use "logic" to come up with in the first place.
12) Tribal affiliation is more important than individual action: There's one set of rules for members of the tribe and one set of rules for everyone else. Lying, breaking the rules, or fomenting hatred against a liberal in good standing may be out of bounds, but there are no rules when dealing with outsiders, who are viewed either as potential recruits, dupes to be tricked, or foes to be defeated. This is the same backwards mentality you see in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, except it's based on ideology, not religion.

Very Chic
I love the look of my chairs. We ordered 6 to go with our glass dining room table and the look if exactly what I was trying to achieve. To be honest, they do not get alot of use, but when I do sit at the table to do paper work it is supportive and comfortable. We have had a couple of dinner parties, where the guests have complimented the look and mentioned how nice the feel of the soft leather. The only spill to clean up was red wine, and it was cleaned up VERY quickly with no stain left. My husband put all six together in about an hour, but he improvised and used some of his personal tools, not just what was provided. Over all, I am VERY happy with my purchase.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? close match
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Seem to be of good quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very

text: Intermezzo is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to zolpidem. Observed reactions with zolpidem include anaphylaxis and angioedema.Intermezzo, like other sedative-hypnotic drugs, has central nervous system (CNS) depressant effects. Co-administration with other CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, alcohol) increases the risk of CNS depression. Intermezzo should not be taken with alcohol. The use of Intermezzo with other sedative-hypnotics (including other zolpidem products) at bedtime or the middle of the night is not recommended. In a driving study, healthy subjects who received Intermezzo with fewer than 4 hours of bedtime remaining had evidence of impaired driving compared to subjects who received placebo. The risk of next-day driving impairment (and psychomotor impairment) is increased if Intermezzo is taken with less than 4 hours of bedtime remaining; if higher than recommended dose is taken; if co-administered with other CNS depressants; or co-administered with other drugs that increase the blood levels of zolpidem. A small negative effect on SDLP (standard deviation of lateral position, a measure of driving impairment) may remain in some patients 4 hours after the 1.75 mg dose in women, and after the 3.5 mg dose in men, such that a potential negative effect on driving cannot be completely excluded. The failure of insomnia to remit after 7 to 10 days of treatment may indicate the presence of a primary psychiatric and/or medical illness that should be evaluated. Cases of angioedema involving the tongue, glottis, or larynx have been reported in patients after taking the first or subsequent doses of zolpidem. Some patients have had additional symptoms such as dyspnea, throat closing, or nausea and vomiting that suggest anaphylaxis. Some patients have required medical therapy in the emergency department. Angioedema and additional symptoms suggesting anaphylaxis may be fatal. Patients who develop angioedema or anaphylaxis should not be rechallenged. Abnormal thinking and behavior changes have been reported to occur in association with the use of sedative-hypnotics, including decreased inhibition, bizarre behavior, agitation, and depersonalization, as well as visual and auditory hallucinations.

Project Website, Part Two: Simple jQuery With Rails
This is something of a mix between what I've been doing on the http://www.pathf.com/blog/tag/project-website/ posts with my more typical "here's how you do something in Rails" post. I'm going to describe how to use jQuery to manage JavaScript and Ajax in a Rails application rather than Prototype and Scriptaculous.
Conclusions, Up Front
The benefits of using jQuery on a Rails project seem to be:
- A lot of basic behavior can be specified with much less JavaScript then in Prototype/Scriptaculous, making it feasible for even somebody with my JavaScript skills to write complex behavior directly in JavaScript. I found myself doing things client-side in jQuery that I would have done with a separate Ajax call before.
- In particular, certain kinds of behavior are almost ridiculously easy -- especially the case where you want every element of a certain kind to have similar behavior. So for instance, if you were, say, maintaining an iPhone plugin and wanted all links of a certain kind to trigger Ajax calls and slide left like a native iPhone app would, jQuery would be a pretty easy way to get there.
- Creating a Web site that is functional without JavaScript is a much easier and cleaner process using jQuery.
There are a couple of costs, especially from a Rails application
- You lose some or all of the Rails helper methods for writing JavaScript. You can keep some of the helpers by using the jRails plugin, but using that plugin minimizes some of the gains of using jQuery.
- The biggest loss for me was
jQuery Basics In Two Seconds
The jQuery framework does three essential things. It provides an easy syntax for identifying elements in the DOM tree, allows you to manipulate those elements, and provides a hook for you to perform these tasks after the DOM is ready on the page but before the page starts displaying.
The DOM-ready hook is often abbreviated
$, code that you want jQuery to run when the DOM is ready is housed in an anonymous function like this:
$(function() {
// do stuff here.
Inside the ready function the
$ symbol has a different meaning, it represents the global jQuery object. Most activity in jQuery is initiated by querying the jQuery object for a set of DOM elements using CSS selector-style syntax, for example:
The extremely cool thing about this is that the
hide() command is automatically applied to anything that matches the
div.header selector -- the iteration over the set is implied. This is very powerful, and when combined with jQuery's selectors and selector filtering methods, is also very flexible.
Building the Site
Which takes us to the actual web site itself. What I'm building here is the administrative page for Brands that have products sold by the client. As it happens, there are three JavaScript tasks that are in roughly increasing order of difficulty. First, I want a link to create a new brand to cause a form to be inserted into the page. That's quite easy. Second, brand has a row, and each row has a similar hidden inline form to add an alias to that brand. Finally, each brand has a "Remove Alias" link that causes an [x] to appear next to each alias, clicking on that [x] causes the alias to be deleted. We'll take them one at a time.
I should note here that I was able to muddle through this on my own, from zero jQuery knowledge pretty quickly, all things considered. Then I had the great benefit of Brian Dillard giving me some style and functionality pointers to make the code look a little bit better. (Any mistakes, of course, are my own.)
Getting ready for jQuery
To set up the jQuery code, I first installed the jRails plugin. I probably didn't need to do this, because I'm not planning on using the Rails helpers it modifies, but it does modify the default list of JavaScript files to include jQuery instead of Prototype.
The header of my layout file looks like this:
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'stylesheet' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "jquery.form" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "jquery-debug" %>
<%= yield :jquery %>
The default list includes the jQuery file itself as well as jQuery's UI plugin. I've added the jQuery form and debug plugins.
yield :jquery bit is something shown in a training session by Jason Seifer of RailsEnvy. Later, all my jQuery code will be on its ERb page enclosed in a
content_for :jquery block, and Rails will insert it into the page header.
Showing the hidden
I wrote the view code for this using the HTML code generating helper I wrote about a few weeks ago. I still like the resulting code, although it has been called, and I quote, "weird". The top-level body of the page looks like this:
def index_body(brands)
Html.div(:id => "brand_index") do |div|
div << Html.h1("Brand Listing")
div << link_to("New Brand", new_brand_url,
:id => "new_brand_a")
div << new_brand_form
div << index_table(brands)
Notice that I include both the link to the new brand and the new brand form in this method -- I'm making no effort here to hide the form. (The details of the form aren't important except that it has a DOM ID of
new_brand_form.) This means that a user without JavaScript, for whatever reason, would see both the link and the form. This allows a non-JavaScript user to have a functional site, even if it is a bit awkward.
hide() call.
<% content_for :jquery do %><% end %>
As mentioned earlier, the
$(function() { places all the code inside a callback that is executed when the DOM is loaded, but critically, before the page starts to display. The relevant line that gets executed is
$("#new_brand_form").hide();. The first part of that code is a call to the jQuery global object, querying it for all elements that match the CSS selector
#new_brand_form -- that is, all DOM elements with the id
new_brand_form. Turns out there's exactly one of them. The query returns the jQuery object (pretty much all jQuery methods return the jQuery object, which allows them to be chained), and the call to
hide hides every element in the currently selected set. In this case, it's just the one form, but again, as the programmer I don't care whether there's one element or a jillion, the
hide method will hide all of them.
The upshot is that the form is hidden via JavaScript before it displays. The next step is to make it so that the New Brand link exposes the form -- remember, with JavaScript off, the link goes to the regular CRUD new brand page. Using jQuery, it's easy to add a new click handler to the anchor link. As before, the first step is acquiring the DOM object via querying the jQuery object:
$("#new_brand_a").click(function() {
return false;
The jQuery function
click takes an anonymous function as an argument, and causes that function to be called whenever the
onclick event of any of the selected DOM elements is triggered (similar helper functions exist for other common DOM events).
Within the function, the element target is hidden first --
this is assigned by jQuery to the target of the click, and wrapping
this in a selector query allows other jQuery calls, such as
hide to be applied to it. Similar jQuery syntax is used to
show the item with the DOM id
new_brand_form, which is the form itself. Finally, returning
false prevents the regular click behavior -- following the
href attribute of the anchor link -- from happening. (If you are like me, your Ruby experience will cause you to initially make the last line just
false instead of
return false, which won't work and your JavaScript-savvy colleagues will chuckle at you. So don't do that.)
I think that's a painless way to get simple dynamic behavior on the screen without Ajax -- if was using just Rails helpers, I would have probably done this as an Ajax call, but having everything be client-side saves some wear-and-tear on the server.
Adding An Alias with an Ajax Call
The next functional bit is adding a new alias to an existing brand. In the UI, this looks like this:
I think I can make this explanation clear without dumping a huge mess of HTML in the middle of this post. Bear with me...
The "Add New Alias..." link causes a form to be displayed allowing you to enter the new alias. Submitting the form triggers an Ajax call that redraws the cell with all the aliases. The basics of doing this in jQuery are similar to the previous example. One significant change is that each row will have it's own alias link. We still need each row's link to have a unique ID -- in the server-side Ruby code it's
dom_id(brand, :alias_a), but in order to be able to apply the same behavior to each link in a single jQuery call, they need to have a common CSS class -- in this case
subtle alias_a -- with
subtle handling the visual display and
alias_a used to reference behavior.
(As a sidebar, I think maybe I should be embarrassed to admit this, but I've been working with CSS since about 1996 and I had never realized that a DOM element could have multiple CSS classes... You all knew that already, right?)
Anyway, the basic functionality for the show and hide behavior is similar -- hide the form container on startup, when the anchor link is clicked, hide it and show the form.
$(".alias_a").click(function() {
var form_selector = "#" + $(this).attr('id').replace("_a", "_form_div");
return false;
There are a couple of differences to note. Since this code is hiding multiple elements, the selectors now start with
. to indicate CSS classes. To make the point one more time, the first line of the above snippet still hides all the matching elements no matter how many there are.
The click callback function is different only in that the specific form to show must be identified -- it wouldn't do to show all the forms when any link is clicked. There are a couple of different ways to do this, my choice was to have a naming convention such that the name of the anchor link and it's associated form container are related, so I have a line that builds the ID selector from a string manipulation of the DOM id of the anchor link. Another option, which you'll see a variant of later on, is to walk the DOM tree back up to the table cell, and then find the enclosed form tag using jQuery selectors.
Finally, each form needs to trigger an Ajax call back to the server. For this, I used the jQuery form plugin, which makes it trivially easy to convert any HTML form to an Ajax query. Step one: write the form exactly as you would if it was not Ajax. Step two: associate the form with a callback function using the
ajaxForm method defined by the form plugin. Step three: there is no step three. The ajaxForm method automatically binds an Ajax call to the submit action of the form using the form's own action attribute to determine the server call.
In this specific case, each row has its own form, so each form needs to be bound as an Ajax form separately. (When I went over this code with Brian Dillard, he felt it actually could be done without the
each wrapper, but left that as an exercise for me...)
$(".alias_form").each(function(n) {
$(this).ajaxForm(function(response, result, target) {
var $td = $(target).parents().filter("td");
The snippet starts by querying for all the form objects based on their class. The
each method explicitly iterates over each one, calling the anonymous function for each element -- the
n argument is the index of the element in the set, the actual element itself is bound to
Inside the
each function, each form is bound using
ajaxForm. The callback function takes three arguments -- the HTML response from the server to the submission (which in this case, will be the reconstituted list of aliases including the newly added one), a status result which should be
success, and the target, which is the DOM element or jQuery selector that was bound to the
ajaxForm call, in this case, the form represented by
Inside the form callback, the first thing to do is identify the table cell that needs to be changed. I use a jQuery set starting with the form itself
$(target) -- then do some jQuery manipulation to get a list of all parents of the form back up to the document root, then filtering that list for a
td element. This code assumes there will only be one
td, if there are going to be nested tables, the selector will need to be more specific.
Having identified the table cell, the next line sets its
html property, equivalent to it's DOM innerHtml. (Many jQuery functions act as getters when called with no arguments, and setters when called with one argument).
The HTML from the server method (not shown here) returns the exact same HTML as the original page load. This means the add form and the remove links that should be hidden are included, so this callback function needs to re-hide them, which I admit is not the DRYest way of handling this.
There's actually a bug in this code which is that the click handlers aren't reassigned either, so the newly created add and remove links don't work. There seem to be a couple of ways to address this in jQuery land, and I haven't picked a method yet.
Removing an Alias with an Ajax Call
The last feature here is a series of
[x] remove links that only appear when the Remove link is clicked, and which cause the associated alias to be deleted. The twist here is that not only is there one remove link for each row, there are multiple x targets within each row. With jQuery, managing multiple links doesn't add much complexity. Here's the code to hide the individual remove links, then show them when the "Remove Link" is pressed.
$(".alias_remove_a").click(function() {
var x_class_selector = "." + $(this).attr('id').replace("_a", "_x");
return false;
I hope the naming convention is clear --
alias_remove_x is the class for the actual
[x] links that start out hidden, and
alias_remove_a is the class for the
Remove Alias... links that start out displayed. To make the point one final time, the jQuery code to show the
[x] links is nearly identical to the one to show the form for adding an alias, even though there are multiple
[x] links to be shown -- it's a complexity that jQuery manages for you completely.
Finally, the behavior when a
[x] is clicked. This removes the alias from the server and clears the HTML section.
$(".alias_remove_x").click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr('id').split("_").pop();
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this alias?")) {
$.post("/brand_designations/destroy/" + id + ".js");
return false;
The callback function extracts the numerical ID of the alias to be removed from the DOM ID of the link (since the Rails code uses the Rails
dom_id helper, I know exactly where the numerical ID is in the string. There's a JavaScript confirm, then a jQuery global method
&.post is called, which triggers an Ajax POST call back to the server at the given URL. Note the use of the
.js extension to explicitly force the JavaScript branch of the server-side
respond_to block. In this case, though, the return value isn't used. (If I had wanted to use it, then I would have given the global method a callback function as a second argument similar to the one used for
ajaxForm earlier.) Rather than use the response from the server, I just clear the HTML from the enclosing span --
$(this).parent().html(""), which removes the alias on the client side as well. (Ideally, that would only be executed if the POST returns success....)
This was not my first attempt at the functionality -- I had originally tried to use the jQuery
load function, which takes a URL and automatically applies the result to a DOM target, but I had some difficulty with jQuery accepting the server result as successful. Rather than continue to bang my head against that wall, I realized I didn't need any actual text from the server, the alias could be removed more easily client-side.
And In Conclusion I'm Done
Wow, that post got long. Thanks for sticking with it. I'm liking jQuery enough that it's worth moving out of the Rails comfort zone, although I really miss the easier automated testing. (There is a jQuery unit test tool, but I'm nowhere near comfortable with it yet.) Inside jQuery's sweet spot, the code is very elegant, and I'm hoping less brittle than other Ajax code -- in this project so far, it's led me to do much more in the client then I otherwise would have.
Next time:
The next three parts of this are going to probably be drag and drop, the user-facing site coding, and staging deployment using Morph. Not sure what order, though.

Great article, and your conclusions are pretty much what I'd come to understand myself. And the cons alone are almost enough to make me switch, yes the cons. The built in rails helpers are absolutely awful in terms of developing an accessible site using progressive improvement with unobtrusive JS (buzzword bingo! I win). They promote all kinds of bad habits, so I'd happily ditch them… well I already have. if jQuery makes the javascript coding even easier than prototype/scriptaculous, then it probably should become the new defacto standard.
Thanks again
Thanks for that introduction! I'm just diving into Jquery and Unobtrusive Javascript.
I think that this whole content_for :jquery stuff is quite repetitive and unnecessary. So I wrote a plugin which automatically includes the corresponding Javascript in the HTML header if a js.erb template is found.
It's located here:
I'd be glad to hear what other people think about it since I'm not really experienced in that area 🙂
@Glenn: agree with you on Prototype.js & the built-in helpers… I've been using the LowPro extension to Prototype for a while now, and it addresses all of the unobtrusiveness shortcomings of Prototype really well. To be honest, I haven't played with jQuery yet, but with LowPro I don't really see any reason to ditch Prototype. In fact, I would love to see LowPro's behavior merged into Prototype as a core feature (it's tiny), and perhaps update the rails helpers for it (though I don't use the RJS helpers myself either).
[…] you may recall from the last jQuery post, the $(function() setup allows all the code in that function to be executed when the page DOM has […]

TWI Summit
A culture of coaching, standard work, and employee engagement are within reach through TWI's (Training Within Industry) proven methodology. Research has shown the impact TWI played in the early formation of the Toyota Production System, and in part continues to this day.
Steven Spear, former TWI Summit presenter and author Chasing the Rabbit and Harvard Business Review articles "Decoding the DNA of the Toyota Production System" and "Learning to Lead at Toyota," had this to say about TWI…
"an essential ingredient in being competitive is having a reliable system for developing skills. This is where Training Within Industry comes in: Job Instruction training to bring novices up to speed, Job Methods training so they could be active agents in improving what they did and how they did it, and Job Relations training that teaches the foundations of positive employee relations."– Steven Spear, author Decoding the DNA of the TPS

"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"Most kiddie invites are too bright and cartoonish. These still embrace the childhood whimsy while staying classy and timeless. Very good quality paper and I upgraded to the colored envelopes and was very happy."
"Birthday invitations I ordered came out beautiful and were shipped right away got them that same week. I will be ordering from tiny prints again. I am a satisfied customer."
"I used this for my daughter's 2nd Birthday invitations as "Frozen" invitations by changing the wording a bit. They turned out so nice, I love them. Can't wait to send them out!"
"I love the round edges and the design with shadows. The leaves on the personal picture was a beautiful touch. We were having a fairy performer for my daughter's birthday and this card was perfect for it! I love that the card emphasized my daughter's picture since the design was simply elegant."

Tick Alert - Prevent, Check, Spot & Remove Paralysis Ticks on Cats
Image matt the monkey, Flickr
Tick season is now upon us and it is time for all cat and dog owners to be alert to these potentially fatal parasites. This article looks at how to check for ticks, preventing ticks, symptoms of tick poisoning and how to safely remove ticks from your pet.
Prevention of ticks:
If your cat is permitted to go outside, either free roaming or in an enclosure then there is no sure fire way to prevent ticks, but there are some products on the market which will assist in deterring them. These include:
- Frontline Plus Top Spot
- Frontline Spray
- Proban tablets, 1/4 of a tablet every 2 days
- Fido's Fre-Itch Rinse.
Checking for ticks:
- Even if you are using the above treatments, it is still important to check your cat for ticks every day.
- Begin with the head. Carefully check (by looking and feeling with your hands). Don't forget to check inside the ears and under the chin/throat areas.
- Move down to the front legs, not forgetting to check between the toes.
- Feel along the cat's body, including the belly. Move down to the rear legs, again checking between the toes.
- Inspect the cat's genital region as ticks can sometimes be found there, and finish with the tai
Removal of ticks:
It is recommended you wear a pair of latex gloves while removing a tick. Using tweezers or a tick remover (you can purchase these for a few dollars from your veterinarian) firmly grasp the tick's head, as close to the cat's skin as possible. Be extremely careful not to squeeze the body of the tick as this will inject more poison and pathogens into the cat's system. You can also kill the tick while it's still on the cat by using an appropriate insecticide, such as Frontline spray.
Signs of tick poisoning:
Symptoms of tick paralysis include:
- Loss of appetite
- Vomiting or dry retching, excessive salivation, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, coughing
- Change to meow
- Coughing
- Noisy panting
- Difficulty swallowing.
As symptoms progress you may notice:
- Limb weakness, starting in the hind legs, progressing to the front legs, appearing wobbly and uncoordinated, falling over, paralysis
- Incontinence
- Laboured breathing
- Coma.
If you notice any of the above symptoms seek veterinary advice immediately.

Last chance to get immunizations at Crow Wing County Public Health before program ends
There is one last chance for immunizations for children or adults who either don't have insurance or don't have coverage for vaccinations before Crow Wing County Public Health ends its program.
Crow Wing County Public Health will give any immunizations after April.
Crow Wing County Community Services Health Division, or Public Health, will host one final office immunization clinic, open to all ages — children and adults — Tuesday at the Crow Wing County Health office, 204 Laurel St., Suite 12, Brainerd, from 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. by appointment only. A second immunization clinic for kindergartners through 12-graders who are uninsured or underinsured is 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and again at 3-6 p.m. Thursday at the health office on Laurel Street. This is a walk-in clinic with no appointment needed.
Cost is $5 per shot for children up to age 18 years old and $10 per shot for adults 19 and older, however, no one is denied access due to inability to pay. Medical Assistance or Minnesota Care is accepted as payment. If an individual's health insurance pays in full for vaccinations, the person must be seen by their home medical clinic.
If a person has a child 18 or younger who is uninsured or insurance does not cover immunizations, the county offers all the recommended vaccines for that age group.
For those are 19 or older and uninsured or with insurance that does not cover immunizations, public health offers: tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis; human papillomavirus/Gardasil; hepatitis B; hepatitis A; varicella (chicken pox); measles, mumps, rubella.
For students, vaccinations are required to attend school. A parent or legal guardian and a complete shot record are required to accompany children ages 18 or younger or shots may not be given.
"If you or your children are in need of immunizations now is the time to get caught up because immunizations will no longer be given at Crow Wing County Public Health after this month," the county reported.
Shingles vaccine available for 60 and older
For those age 60 and older, the county has Zostavax — the shingles vaccine.
"Almost one out of every three people in the United States will develop shingles, also known as zoster or herpes zoster," the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported. "There are an estimated 1 million cases each year in this country. Anyone who has recovered from chickenpox may develop shingles. ... After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus stays in the body in a dormant (inactive) state. For reasons that are not fully known, the virus can reactivate years later, causing shingles."
Shingles is a painful rash that develops on one side of the face or body. Blisters form with the rash. Symptoms often include pain, itching or tingling where the rash will develop. Other symptoms include fever, headache, chills, upset stomach. Shingles can affect the eye and cause vision loss.
Common complications include severe pain in areas where the rash was even after it clears up. The pain may be severe and debilitating. It can resolve in a few weeks or months or persist for many years.
The CDC reported the older people get the more likely they are to develop complications and have severe pain. People who have already had shingles can still get the vaccine.
"Shingles may lead to serious complications involving the eye. Very rarely, shingles can also lead to pneumonia, hearing problems, blindness, brain inflammation (encephalitis) or death."
So for senior citizens who have yet to get the vaccine, this may be the opportunity to do so with an affordable $10 shot. The shingles shot is not covered by Medicare Part A or Medicare Part B. Without insurance, seniors getting the shingles vaccine at clinics or drug stores, may be faced with a bill of more than $200.
Those who have suffered through shingles report regretting taking their chances or thinking they could handle a rash when considering the vaccine's cost. And once stricken, shingles sufferers said they would have been willing to pay hundreds more for relief.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, call Margie at Crow Wing County Health at 824-1098 or 824-1080.

Insulated Concrete Form and Foundation supply and installation.
The ICF system below are the primary systems we supply and install
ICF systems are ideal for modern house building Insulated Concrete Forms are also now recognised as an ideal method of construction for hotels, schools and industrial buildings. The ICF system is made up of two high density, fire resistant EPS leaves held between a variable tie systems. Once assembled the inner cavity is pump filled with a concrete mix, this results in a monolithic, high strength, thermally insulated construction with high thermal mass ready for external and internal finishing.
ICF Construction UK Ltd specialise in the supply and installation of Insulated Concrete Forms in the UK.
All of our installers are qualified and professional people certified to install the INSULWALL and IntegraSpec® ICF systems.
What is ICF?
First, ICF stands for Insulating or Insulated Concrete Forms. Basically, these are stay-in-place concrete forms used to build exterior walls of homes or buildings. The forms consist of a middle section, which many times houses plastic webs used to stabilize and strengthen the form that will eventually be poured with concrete to fill all voids. Each side of the form, which will ultimately be the interior and exterior of the walls, consists of insulating material. This insulator is 65-75mm of EPS insulation. So, in the finished product, your exterior walls have a concrete core wrapped with insulating EPS.
ICF systems are most often used for exterior walls only. There are a few reasons for this. First, there is not a need for thick, insulating interior walls. Second, if you want to reconfigure interior walls, this would be a huge chore if your walls were reinforced concrete. There has been a trend, however, in building a "safe room" on the interior of a home or office which is housed by concrete walls on each side. This room can be used for a storm shelter or safe haven like that in the movie, Panic Room.
ICF systems can be applied below or above ground and are ideal for use in multi-story applications.
One common misconception about ICF systems is in how the final product looks. Since ICFs have stay in place insulation, there will be a need for rendering, siding, brick, rock, etc. on the exterior and drywall on the interior in fact no different to standard construction . The final product is a home that looks like a traditional home, if the home builder so chooses to or ultra modern depending on taste.

Benefits of ICF Systems to the Homeowner
1 Energy Efficiency - The most common sited benefit of ICF wall systems is that it is superior in energy efficiency. Not only does it keep the cold or hot outside air from coming in, it keeps your air conditioned or heated air from going out. Suddenly, your air conditioner and heater barely have to run to keep your interior air at your optimal temperature. What does this mean for you? You can save 50-80% on your energy bill, depending on the doors, windows, roofing, etc.
2 Strength - ICF wall systems are rated to withstand extreme weather conditions, including tornados and hurricanes. They can endure winds in excess of 140 miles per hour. In addition, they are rated safe for earthquake zones (up to zone 4).
3 Durability - These walls will not settle, crack, warp, rot, mildew, rust of even vibrate when you slam a door. They do not provide food for insects (like wood worm, for example), mould, or vermin.
4 Quiet - ICF wall systems decrease the amount of sound that comes in from the outside by over half. It is the quietest building material on the market.
5 Comfortable - ICF wall systems result in an even temperature distribution throughout the house from floor to ceiling. There is less than two degrees Fahrenheit variation in an ICF home, compared to conventional homes that vary anywhere from five to ten degrees Fahrenheit. According to ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers) points to uneven temperature distribution as a leading factor in people feeling uncomfortable. The "feel" of an ICF home is unsurpassed in comfort.
6 Cleaner Air - ICF systems prevent draft and air infiltration, meaning they prevent airborne contaminants. This is great for a homeowner because not only does it reduce allergens but dust, as well.
7 Environmentally-Friendly - Aside from it reducing energy consumption due to heating and cooling, it also reduces construction waste. Each and every form will remain on the home or building. There is no construction waste resulting from this system whatsoever aside from the small amounts of packaging. So, not only are they a pleasure to you, but they are a benefit to the environment.
8 Fire Retardant - ICF systems can resist fires for up to four hours. Even when it starts to burn, the smoke is less toxic than burning wood.
9 Bullet Proof - Standing behind a concrete wall will shield you from any flying objects, including bullets. Sure, the chances are slim, but this is an added bonus.
10 Possible Premium Reductions - Many insurance companies offer a premium reduction for homes with ICF system walls.
Arguments Against ICF Systems and Rebuttals
1 ICF cost too much – The ICF systems cost anywhere from one to five per cent more than conventional framing. However, with energy savings, waste savings, speed of build and insurance premium savings, this small extra construction cost is paid off rather quickly. Also, costs associated with ICF systems are about the same as "super-insulated" framing or advanced framing techniques, yet ICF systems outperform these other systems in energy efficiency, strength, durability, comfort, and indoor air quality.
2 ICF is limited in build options - Forms are made for all sorts of shapes and sizes. Arches, curved walls, odd angles, etc. are all possible with ICF systems. Also, these walls are great for high ceilings and multi-story applications.
3 Difficulty with extending ICF properties - Concrete walls are more difficult to extend . However there are simple procedures which allow this to be done very easily.
4 The ICF system has limited finishing - ICF walls can be finished with new acrylic render products and many traditional building materials, including brick, rock, siding, drywall, etc. Therefore, you cannot tell the difference between ICF walls and traditional walls.
5 Too air tight – ICF wall systems are air tight but the stability of the wall temperature negates condensation, as with all super insulated homes the emphasis is on energy saving so it makes sense to install air exchangers with heat recovery and/or humidity regulating systems. This allows you to enjoy an allergen-less, dust-less home.
6 You can't build in bad weather - The insulating concrete form actually allows you to build in cold and wet weather. In the UK any temperature is suitable for building these walls. You have no cement to be washed out by rain and as the concrete is insulated it sets without being influenced by the cold. This means there are no breaks in the build schedule. In the UK many weeks can be added to build schedules in traditional construction due to bad weather.
7 Limited floor plan options - You can take any floor plan and exchange the existing wall structure for an ICF wall systems as there is no change to the footprint of the building.

Turnbull, the shadow minister for communication and broadband and a former high-profile businessman, says the lack of women in senior management is a problem.
"One of the things that Australian business is not nearly good enough at is making work places sufficiently flexible to enable women to stay engaged in the workplace and engaged with their employers on a more flexible basis while their children are young," says Turnbull, speaking at the Kickstart Forum on the Queensland Sunshine Coast on Tuesday.
"Of course this also applies to men too but rightly or wrongly women tend to take more time off to look after children than the fathers do and I just feel there is an enormous under-utilised resource there of very, very qualified women with children who want to work more flexibly. By the way, in my own businesses I've always practised what I preach here.
"Businesses should engage more with technology and recognise that people don't have to be sitting there at the office for eight hours or 10 hours a day to do their work and accord more flexibility so that you have more women staying in senior management and not, as is often the case, dropping out in their early and mid-thirties."
Turnbull says there is a lot of focus on the number of women in boards but he thinks the representation of women in senior management is a bigger concern. When asked for his stance on quotas to ensure diversity on boards, he noted that it was not Coalition policy.
"We're not in favour of quotas generally as a party, we think people should be appointed on the basis of merit but I don't think many companies would be unaware of the importance of having a more diverse board," he says.
In his keynote address, Turnbull made general remarks about the government's recently announced innovation package. He kept his remarks fairly broad noting that innovation fell into Sophie Mirabella's portfolio.
"They're basically a rehash of some innovation hubs previously announced," Turnbull says. "The objective of engaging business with research is a very laudable one . . . and I don't think we've been good enough at it in Australia. As far as what the government's announced, it's there but it's not going to change the world."
Turnbull also reiterated previous comments that the national broadband network was taking too long and costing too much.
He says the Coalition would do a cost-benefit analysis of the NBN once in power but lack of transparency from NBN Co made it difficult to do anything in the interim.
"If I put out a set of financials, I want them to be right," Turnbull says. "If the NBN were to say 'we're going to sit down with you and work on scenario B', we could come up with much more robust numbers."
Turnbull argues NBN Co should be an "open book" in terms of reporting connections and costs, especially since it was a government-owned business without commercial competitors. Yet he says
He adds the government needs to be more engaged with the way the pipes are being used than the pipes themselves.
"The productivity challenge isn't just about finding the next Mark Zuckerberg, it's also about the plumber down the road," Turnbull says.
"Part of the challenge with the national broadband network is ensuring its benefits are shared by many . . . the biggest barrier to accessing the internet is not technology, it's lack of income."
