HiI'm new to html, css and web design. I'm trying to avoid Themed Web-site templates if I can and write all of the code myself where practical.
I've just downloaded CoffeeCup, currently $69 for a licence, where its possible to preview a browser window as you are writing the html or css. I've also noticed that CoffeeCup offer a 20 percent discount, if you pay in the first 21 days. Before I decide to part with my hard-earned cash, can anyone recommend any other html editors which enable you preview a browser at the same time as editting the code - I think that checking the preview screen at the same time will help me to learn quicker as I go along.
Has anyone any more recommendations on which software tool to start write html and css with please.Kind RegardsMatt
Hi Matt. It is a very personal thing what editor to use. I prefer to use notepad++ where you can preview in most modern browsers . Others prefer programs like Dreamweaver
You can preview your work in browsers no matter what editor you use. For example, if you are working on a .html page, have it open in your text editor and all your browsers at the same time. Make a few changes to the code, save, then refresh each browser to see the changes. Works for me.
There are many good and popular free code editors available, and some really nice commercial ones, too. Sublime Text 2 is pretty popular these days.
HiBut don't you find it annoying that you have to keep going to the browser and clicking Refresh everytime you change one litte bit of code?
On average, per website, you could be doing, say 2000 or more tests or 2000 needless mouse movements and clicks!!! Combine that will closing the browser window then you could be looking at say 3000+ needless mouse clicks and mouse movements. Wouldn't it be more time-efficent for the browser to give you a preview in real-time? Have you never considered using CoffeeCup? or something similar?
Isn't it the browser where the actual design needs to be okay. So no, I don't find it anoying. It is part of the job in my opinion.
Nope. Not at all.
On average, per website, you could be doing, say 2000 or more tests or 2000 needless mouse movements and clicks!!!
It's good exercise for my finger.
Combine that will closing the browser window then you could be looking at say 3000+ needless mouse clicks
There's no need to close the browser. I just keep it open.
Wouldn't it be more time-efficent for the browser to give you a preview in real-time?
Possibly, but it's not a biggie for me. Although you can do this with your browser anyway. Using Chrome dev tools, for example, you can add styles and HTML in real time, and then save this to your files when you are done. (Soon this will be automatic—but for now I think you can only do it with JS.)
Have you never considered using CoffeeCup? or something similar?
I've considered it, and tried a few things like that, but didn't like them. I also don't trust the "live view" in programs like this. Dreamweaver's Design View, for example, is very unreliable. The only real testing ground is the browser itself.
Adobe is working on a code editor that does this, called Brackets, but it's at an early stage right now.
Thanks Ralph - I think that all developers should always look for ways to be more efficient in what they do where possible.
I appreciate that a real-time previews cannot be always trusted but they would definitely show you if you are on the right tracks, at least.
Also anything that makes the learning curves less steep must be the way forward!!
I'll definitely try out Brackets - thanks for making me aware of this.
Hehe, there are lots of threads around here starting with something like—"I built my site using Dreamweaver Design View, and it looked perfect, but now I find it is totally broken in real browsers. Help!"
So be careful.
I've just thought of a new gadget for Developers that could make millions of dollars!!! What if there was a pedal (similar to a guitar pedal) you could press which loaded a Browser window and then closed the Browser again when you let go.That would give the Developer more exercise and be quicker than finding the mouse every time!! lol
The flaw in your argument is that you've forgotten what a stingy bunch web devs are, who seem to want everything to be free. :rolleyes: :lol: Millions of downloads, maybe, but dollars ... no.
I suppose refreshing the browser (never need to close it, as it has been mentioned) takes as much time as it does for the program to lag and update what I'm doing as I'm doing it. Are you able to preview your site in Firefox, Chrome and (shudder) IE in Coffeecup to see how it's displaying in each?
I always just use Notepad, kept smaller than the browser behind it. But my choice is, perhaps, just because I crave independence and stubbornly want to fight the man, not being bound by corporate software! /says the person using windows 7
Hi LumeI've not played about with CoffeCup much as yet but the Preview is IE9 by default but can be altered to auto preview a different browser. You can of course press a function key to load a host of browsers at choice.
What I also like also is that you can click anywhere within the Preview window and it will automatically take you to the html code relevant. I think it should also take me to the correct css part as well although I've not played about with that part yet.
The preview screen only take a few seconds to refresh so thats pretty good. At least I don't have keep loading a browser up, refresh it and close it down again every 5 seconds.
CoffeeCup is useful for me as I'm not a full-time or even a part-time pro web-developer. What I don't like so far is that the IntelliSense is not as good as what you get with Microsoft Visual Studio Express but maybe there still developing it. For example, it doesn't automatically give a description of what each attribute does and it does not kick in when it should do. The CoffeeCup IntelliSense is not even as good as Microsoft Web Matrix(WM) which is completely free for developing websites. Saying that, MS WM does not offer a preview screen as yet - I heard that Google Chrome has a Live Developer mode but not sure how to get that going as yet.
For me to buy a CoffeeCup Licence though, they will need to give me at least 50% discount (reduced to $30 or less - I'd only consider for $20 to be honest) to make me take their offer seriously
I say Dreamweaver all the way, and yes you preview in a real browser, but maybe you want to see what youre doing, especially when creating a template. I use DW with a dual monitor setup, so on one monitor there is the live preview. And im doing the thing with refreshing the browser window thousands of times when dealing with cross-browser compatibility issues.
re doing, especially when creating a template. I use DW with a dual monitor setup, so on one monitor there is the live preview. And i
In good browsers like Chrome, you can right click on any part of the page and choose Inspect Element to see the HTML for the element you clicked on and the CSS that applies to it. So again, the browser itself makes it easy to examine what's going on.
Hehe, you are still fixed on the idea of having to close the browser after every test. O well.
When I get a moment, I'm going to see what Google Chrome can do, to keep a Live Preview going.
Is there a cheaper version of DreamWeaver - as I consumer I always feel that I'm priced out of its Market.
You could try free alternatives like [Aptana and [URL="http://www.w3.org/Amaya/Amaya.html"]Amaya](http://www.aptana.org/products/studio3).
Thank you Ralph I almost feel spoilt for choice now!!! and the Amaya website looks like it software comes from http://www.w3.org - which looks like its all official I'm going to watch a couple of Youtube tutorials on Amaya and Aptana to see if I like the look of them first though
I'm currently using Microsoft WebMatrix and trying out CoffeeCup so far. The CoffeeCup IntelliSense is not as clean and friendly compared to WebMatrix because it used the same IntelliSense from MS Visual Studio which takes some beating!!
Don't get a Browser Preview window with WebMatix though but good when I start learning more about ASP.net Web Pages.
Amaya would be a very good choice in my opinion. Give it a try!hmm... I have a question! Why do you want to learn more about ASP.net? Is it a personal choice?
Why ASP.net. My story is that I'm trying to stay in touch and being left behind technology-wise.Also I need a well-known way to save data from my web-site entered by the user. From what I've seen so far, ASP makes it easy-ish to read and write the data.I've bought a Wrox book call MS Beginner ASP.NET for Web Pages which means that I can include c#.net (or vb.net) within html pages or .cshtml pages.So that's my story. Why would you recommend something else or do you think that ASP is a bad idea perhaps?A massive plus, as well, was that I find the ASP.NET forum a really friendly lot (a lot like the members at sitepoint). The forum also has free video tutorials on how to get started which makes a nice change from reading books all the time
Hi everyoneI'm learning html and css, and would like to use a free HTML CSS editor with Live Preview (to render the code in a browser in real-time).
This way I don't have to save, then open close a browser each time. I only have time to learn css when I'm not at work, which is why I have to get a efficient as possible. I've not this week off work so it an ideal opportunity for me to learn it better.
I've tried CoffeCup HTML Editor but not impressed because I find the editor too fiddly but still want to stick to learning the coding side as much as I can.
Much appreciated to anyone who has any helpful advice.CheersMatt

A Moody Christmas: season finale, ABC1, 8.30pm
THIS bright, shiny cracker of a series comes to the end of its six-part run with its now-established themes and running gags on proud display. As Dan (Ian Meadows) boards his flight home from London for the annual festive season debacle with his family, his hopes are high about rekindling his romance with Cora (Jane Harber) and wooing her away from his sneering cousin Hayden (Guy Edmonds). There's also the question of whether or not Dan's brother Sean (the inspired Patrick Brammall) will break with tradition and make it to the airport to collect him, and what Sean's newly chosen and probably destined-to-fail business will be this time. This sparkler of a domestic comedy has been one of the joys of the ABC's recent rush of local productions: here's hoping we'll see more of the Moodys.
Dynamo: Magician Impossible: series finale, Channel Seven, 7.30pm
STEVEN Frayne is a weedy and rather unassuming-looking man from Bradford in England. Under his professional name of Dynamo, he's also a magician with a dazzling repertoire. He does amazing card tricks and reality-defying stuff with forks, spoons and phones. He appears able to read minds and predict the future, and he can bench press weights so heavy that musclemen gasp in disbelief. In the final episode of his four-part series, he visits Los Angeles, entertains Miss California and her squealing pals in a diner, delights Natalie Imbruglia with butterflies, and amazes Blink 182's Travis Barker and his entourage with a coin trick. But the demonstration of the awesome array of goodies in Dynamo's arsenal doesn't necessarily make for amazing television. While this low-budget chronicle does display his gifts, its staging of them is fairly pedestrian, with successive bunches of people gawping in disbelief and saying things like: ''That's crazy! Bloody 'ell.'' His TV work would benefit from set-ups more commensurate with his talent.
Grimm, Channel Seven, 8.30pm
THIS spooky spin on a conventional crime-thriller series features a cop-buddy duo policing the streets of Portland, Oregon. The twist is that one of the detectives, Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli), has inherited the ability to see supernatural creatures, and his additional mission is to disarm the malevolent mythological monsters that prey upon the unsuspecting citizens of the city. A little light relief and additional oomph are injected by Nick's unofficial offsider, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), a creature called a wieder blutbad who's trying to suppress his own darker impulses and can provide valuable information about the dangerous inhabitants of the underworld. In ''Lonelyhearts'', the fourth episode from the first season and the first part of tonight's Grimm double bill, Nick is on the trail of a ziegevolk, a monster that looks like a goat, munches live toads and disguises himself to trap vulnerable women.
The Growing Pains of a Teenage Genius, ABC2, 9.30pm
CAMERON Thompson is a sweet, gangly 13-year-old living with his family in Wales. He's also a maths genius who's studying at university level and has recently been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. This profile of Cameron, made last year for the BBC, follows his progress until his 14th birthday, observing his interactions with his supportive parents and siblings, and watching as they move house and face the challenges of a new neighbourhood and schools. It also ponders how Cameron will cope with these unsettling changes in addition to the pressures of adolescence. The endearingly earnest boy sets high standards for himself. He frets constantly and sees anything less than 80 per cent on his assignments as a failure. Producer and director Barnaby Coughlin has made an engaging profile of a gifted child, his loving family and the educators who emerge as key influences in his life. It's just a pity that he also felt the need in this profile to try to tack on a neat, happy ending.

BOBBY Darch was the star of the show as Market House sealed a place in the last eight of the Dorset Sunday Intermediate Cup with a 4-1 win over Alexandra.
The Maiden Street outfit produced a solid performance throughout but it was their experienced hitman that stole the limelight with two goals and an assist.
Good work from Damien McLucas led to Darch slipping in Stuart Puckett for the opener but the Alex soon responded and would have levelled had it not been for some excellent saves from Badger Burley.
Derek Puckett was then hauled down in the box early in the second half following another key pass from Darch, handing the former a chance to double the lead from the spot, which he duly took.
But the Alex still refused to lie down and when Dean Taylor reduced the deficit moments later it looked like a comeback might be on the cards.
However, Darch had very different ideas as he went on to score a late brace to bag House a quarter-final tie with Weymouth Sunday League Premiership rivals Rodwell, who won 8-4 at Fernside Sports.
Rendezvous also progressed in the competition following a 7-3 victory at Three Cross. Ricky Lane and Charlie Kenderdine both struck doubles for the nightclubbers, whose other goals came from Dave Washington, Carl McClements and Chris Skinner.
The Vous will host Ferndown Locomotive in the last eight while Weyline, who won 6-0 at Talbot Pub, will travel to Specialist Lettings.
Elsewhere, Corfe Mullen Juniors came back from 5-1 down to beat Poole Wanderers 10-6. They will travel to KC Transport in the next stage after they defeated Oakdale Conservatives 10-1 with goals from Garry Stevens (3), Shaun Herrin (3), Tim Porter (2), Shane Stanley and Ben Saunders.
Sailors Return, Portland Town, Newtown Rovers and Poole Borough all benefited from walkovers in the Dorset Sunday Junior Cup but there was no such luck for Dolphin and Yates.
Dolphin lost 2-1 against Windgreen Corfe Mullen, whose goals came from Duncan Moody and Mike Hawes, while Yates went down 3-0 at the hands of Pilot.
In the other ties that took place, Team Gryphon beat White Heather Hornets 5-0, while A&T Athletic's clash with the Belvedere Inn was abandoned with only minutes to go.
Finally, in Championship action, there was a comfortable win for Moby Dick's as they hammered Weymouth Athletic 9-1.

Adventurous minds
Think about biofuels for a minute. Now, what comes to mind? Ethanol? Biodiesel? If your knowledge of biofuel ends there, you're certainly not alone. But with the book Why Are We Producing Biofuels?, father-son co-authors Robert and Tristan Brown delve into the subject in a way designed for all audiences to comprehend. So even if you're not a scientist, you'll walk away with an understanding of the social and scientific importance of biofuels.
As one of the "Top 100 People in Bioenergy," Robert Brown knows his biofuels, while attorney Tristan Brown knows the ins and outs of the social and political issues concerning the subject. And we're lucky to have them both at Iowa State -- Robert as the Gary and Donna Hoover Chair in Mechanical Engineering, and Tristan as a research associate at Iowa State's Bioeconomy Institute.
Authorities. Specialists. Thought leaders. No matter how you describe them, this much is true: Iowa State is full of experts who are known and respected around the world for everything from biofuels and business to architecture and apparel design. At Iowa State, students get the opportunity to learn from professors who are experts in their field. Which goes a long way to help those students become leaders.

UDG Healthcare PLC (UDG.L) shares are moving today on volatility -0.35% or $-3.00 from the open. The LSE listed company saw a recent bid of $847.00 and 194559 shares have traded hands in the session.
Investors might be trying to figure out the best way to approach the stock market. After creating a plan that includes a list of stocks to purchase, investors may be looking to gauge the best time to enter the trade. With markets still cruising along at high altitudes, investors may be worried about buying at the top. Most individuals would probably agree that getting out before the market drops would be the best play. Obviously this is much easier said than done. If the warning signs were blatant, everyone would know exactly when to sell and when to re-buy. When the stock market has a big decline, the natural instinct is generally to sell in order to protect gains or eliminate further losses. Trying to time the market can have negative implications for investors who are not prepared to handle extremely volatile market conditions. Being prepared for any sudden change in the overall economy or stock market conditions may help the investor stay afloat for the long haul.
Deep diving into the technical levels for UDG Healthcare PLC (UDG.L), we note that the equity currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 0.88. Active investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend. On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.
UDG Healthcare PLC's Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -58.96. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would point to an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would signal an oversold situation. The Williams %R was developed by Larry Williams. This is a momentum indicator that is the inverse of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator.
Currently, the 14-day ADX for UDG Healthcare PLC (UDG.L) is sitting at 36.75. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.
The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a widely used technical momentum indicator that compares price movement over time. The RSI was created by J. Welles Wilder who was striving to measure whether or not a stock was overbought or oversold. The RSI may be useful for spotting abnormal price activity and volatility. The RSI oscillates on a scale from 0 to 100. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 30 to 70. A reading over 70 would indicate that the stock is overbought, and possibly overvalued. A reading under 30 may indicate that the stock is oversold, and possibly undervalued. After a recent check, the 14-day RSIfor UDG Healthcare PLC (UDG.L) is currently at 53.98, the 7-day stands at 52.79, and the 3-day is sitting at 61.23.

Digital Futures Forum 5
A Dynamic Discussion of Copyright in Academia
More than 60 attendees from American University and around the region gathered for the fifth installment of the AU Library Digital Futures Forum to discuss questions about the limits and future of fair use, facilitated by three experts on the subject in academics and beyond. The session opened with attendees voicing some of their most urgent questions about fair use, ranging from the reproduction of visual media in academic works to the use of news organization logos on third-party websites.
Keynote speakers were Patricia Aufderheide, co-director of the Center for Social Media and university professor in the School of Communication, and Peter Jaszi, co-founder of the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property and professor at the AU Washington College of Law, co-authors of the recently published Reclaiming Fair Use (Chicago). Aufderheide opened the session by showing an example of fair use in video, in which clips from recent popular television shows and movies were used to illustrate an important social topic. Afterward, Jaszi discussed the legal aspects of fair use.
Following their talk, Brandon Butler, public policy director at the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), shared information regarding recent court decisions affecting fair use in libraries. Additionally, Butler discussed the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries, which was developed in collaboration between ARL, the Center for Social Media, and the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property, and has been used by lawyers and judges in guiding policy and court decisions. The session ended with a more in-depth discussion of audience questions that had not yet been addressed, including the jurisdictional aspects of international information-sharing and distinctions between fair-use regulations regarding different types of media.
The full session can be viewed here. For information about upcoming library-sponsored events, please contact email@example.com.

|FYI — December 2003
|By Brad Dunn
at Windmills
If you think it's a pain to navigate through a network of lobster traps, try giant offshore windmills. Boaters in New Jersey may soon encounter such an obstacle course.
In October the state took a step closer to its goal of installing dozens of wind-powered turbines about three miles offshore between Monmouth and Cape May. After two years of preliminary planning, the state's Board of Public Utilities awarded a $300,000 grant to Atlantic Renewable Energy Corporation, based in Richmond, Virginia, to research the viability of offshore wind energy systems.
The company's proposal includes 35-story windmills costing about $1.5 million apiece with blades that would swoop 325 feet in the air. The state hopes that a wind farm of 25 turbines will produce up to 20 percent of its power by 2020.
Finding themselves unlikely allies, however, many recreational boaters, commercial fishermen, and environmentalists have voiced strong opposition to the project. "This idea is nothing short of abominable. Boaters hate it, and they won't let it happen," says Ernest Utsch III, owner of Utsch's Marina in Cape May. "This state's track record on marine issues is horrible. At this rate, you're going to see a recall election on this side of the country real soon."
Conservation groups that have come out against the plan include the New Jersey Audubon Society, which has pointed to the damage that the windmills could wreak on fish and sea bird populations. "On top of the environmental concerns, these structures would take up an enormous amount of water space used by recreational boaters and commercial fishermen," explains Tim Dillingham, executive director of the American Littoral Society, a coastal conservation group based in Sandy Hook. "I'm a boater myself, and the idea that we'll be able to navigate through these windmills is simply not a reality. The whole area would have be closed off."
Though the state will continue to research the feasibility of wind as a renewable energy source, soon residents will be able to voice their concerns at a series of public forums.

Cookies, cupcakes and brownies: I love spending time in the kitchen baking up my favorite sweet treats. But did you know your baked goods can help end childhood hunger?
Share Our Strength's 3rd annual Great American Bake Sale is April 20-22. The idea is simple: Host a bake sale (or join one!) and Share Our Strength will use the proceeds to help end childhood hunger.
Share Our Strength is a national organization working hard to make sure no kid in America grows up hungry. The funds raised by the Great American Bake Sale support No Kid Hungry, Share Our Strength's campaign to end childhood hunger in America by 2015.
5 Facts About Childhood Hunger in the U.S.
- More than 16 million kids in America live in households that struggle to put food on the table. That's 1 out of 5 kids.
- There were also more than 16.4 million children in America living in poverty in 2010. That's almost 1 million more than in 2009.
- On an average school day, 9.8 million kids get free or reduced-price school breakfast, more than ever before — but 10.5 million eligible kids go without.
- Only 1 in 7 kids who get free and reduced-priced school lunches receive summer meals.
- Almost 45 million Americans used SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly food stamps) during 2011. Nearly 75 percent of these are in families with children and more than a quarter are in households with seniors or people with disabilities.
Think April 20 is too soon for you to get your bake sale pulled together? No sweat: You can host one anytime of the year. We're hosting ours May 4 (I'm thinking Kelsey's Carmelitas will be a hot seller).
Together, we can make No Kid Hungry a reality.
Ways to Get Involved
For a first-hand look at the crisis of childhood hunger in America, tune into the documentary Hunger Hits Home Saturday, April 14, at 8pm ET on Food Network.

Through January 20, 2013 - Katonah
This unique interactive exhibition looks at the imaginative work of Greenwich, Connecticut-based Blue Sky Studios, a leader in the animation industry for over 20 years. Creator of such blockbuster films as the "Ice Age" series, "Robots," and "Rio," the studio prides itself on technical innovation, while retaining a strong narrative heart. '"Ice Age" to the Digital Age' will guide visitors through Blue Sky's entire process of creating computer-animated films: from initial concepts, storyboards, character design, background art, and three-dimensional modeling, to the highly technical work of animation, rigging, materials, lighting, special effects, and sound. In addition to final movie clips, the exhibition will feature rarely-seen original concept drawings, sculptural models, props, and digital stills. Interactive stations will allow visitors to sketch a scene or manipulate computer-generated images to better understand the innovative technology that brings the films to life. Katonah resident Chris Wedge, a co-founder of Blue Sky in 1987, believes that the secret to the studio's success is in its inventive process. In his view, the art challenges technology and technology inspires the art. The Museum will be turning all the galleries, including the Learning Center, over to this exhibit. There will be gallery talks with Blue Sky co-founder Chris Wedge and "Ice Age: Continental Drift" directors Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier, as well as a calendar of programming in partnership with the Jacob Burns Film Center.

Forrest, Arthur Ross vice president for horticulture and living collections at the garden.

Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images and portrays their diversity with photographs that reveal the trees in myriad fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the garden's genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of select trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, leaves, and bark; and impressionistic images, abstract in character yet beautiful in composition.

You repeatedly ask about A BRIGHT PILLAR BORN FROM THE EAST.
Know that,
According to his Companions, the Messenger of Allah (saas) said:
"When Abbasi Malik arrives at Khorasan, one of the signs of the coming of the promised Mahdi, A DOUBLE-TOOTHED (1) LIGHT SHEDDING (2) HORN (3) WILL APPEAR IN THE EAST."
According to the account, that pillar had two heads.
The first birth of this pillar was at the time of the destruction of the people of Nuh (as). The same thing was born when they cast Ibrahim (as) into the fire. It was born again in the time of Pharaoh and his people.
It was born again at the time of the martyring of the Prophet Yahya (as).
Let whoever sees it seek shelter in Allah from the evil of corruption.
That whiteness emerging from the East was formerly in the shape of a radiant pillar. A curvature then came to it, and it took the form of a horn.
It is probable, therefore:
-it is described as double-headed probably because both sides will be thin and resemble a tooth, and it will have a head at both ends. Indeed, if a blade has a cutting edge on two sides,
-They use the term double-headed.
My brother Sheikh Muhammad Takhir Badahshi came from Confor. He says:
-There are two heads on the upper part of that pillar. They resemble two teeth. There is a short space between them.
This was recognized at the desert.
The same report was also given by another community.
But this birth is not that which will appear at the coming of the Mahdi. That is because his appearance will be at the beginning of the century. Eighteen years have currently gone by since the beginning of the century.
The hadith says this about the portents of Hazrat Mahdi (as):
That comet has been born. But is it that one, or another similar one?
-That this star is called a comet, is probably based on the following:
-The course of the constant IS FROM WEST TO EAST (4)...
The situation of this star follows this course. In other words, its head faces east and its tail faces west. The long white part is in its rear. Therefore:
-It is appropriate for it to be described as having a tail.
Allah best knows the truth.
Imam Rabbani, Maktubat, Letter 381, p. 1184
The expression "a double-toothed, light-shedding horn will appear," described by our Prophet (saas) in the hadith as a portent of the coming of the awaited Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the End Times and described in detail by Imam Rabbani refers to the comet Lulin, which came closest to the Earth on 24 February, 2009. The way that the terms in the hadith completely fit the characteristics of the comet Lulin is a great miracle and glad tidings for believers awaiting the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as).
(1) ... double-toothed...:
The fact that the tail of the comet Lulin is forked completely matches the term double-toothed in the hadith.
(2) ... light-shedding...:
The term light-shedding in the hadith refers to the brightness of the comet Lulin, which exceeded that of six stars as it approached the Earth.
(3) ... a horn...:
The main distinguishing feature between Lulin and other comets is that as well as the comet having a tail in the rear of its body, it also has a tail in the front. Examination of photographs of Lulin and its two tails immediately put one in mind of a horn.
(4) The course of the constant is from west to east...:
The hadith goes on to say that "The course of the constant is from west to east..." This refers to the movement of heavenly bodies, which information is in full agreement with the astronomical findings of the 20th century. Indeed, all heavenly bodies travel from WEST to EAST.
(5) Its daily passage, on the other hand, is from east to west. ...:
Here the expression "Its daily passage, on the other hand, ..." indicates that the comet Lulin, as opposed to all other heavenly bodies, travel from east to west.
The fact that this characteristic, seen in no other heavenly body, applies to the comet Lulin and that this was described 1,400 years ago by our Prophet (saas) as a portent of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a great miracle.

My last post discussed Warfighting, the US Marine Corp manual that characterizes combat as disorderly, uncertain, fluid and plagued by friction that makes "the simple difficult and the difficult seemingly impossible." This post focuses on resource allocation in turbulence, specifically how an officer with limited troops, ammunition, and attention can commit the resources under his control to achieve the greatest impact.
Allocating scarce resources entails difficult trade-offs even in stable circumstances. But Marines face the added complications of a situation in flux, acute time pressure, incomplete and often conflicting data, an enemy attempting to anticipate and thwart their plans, all with life and death at stake. Warfighting outlines principles that help Marine officers allocate resources in real time, without resorting to the fiction that they can predict how battle will unfold. Below is my synthesis of the Marine Corps's principles as they relate to resource allocation in turbulence:
Plunge in without overplanning. Officers can plot strategy in the map room, but battles are won or lost in the field. Marine Corps officers plan, of course, but they also recognize the limitations of their plans. Not even the best informed or most experienced officer, can foresee how an engagement will unfold. Rather than spend endless hours honing the perfect plan, Marines develop a good enough plan. Many follow the 70 percent solution— if they have 70 percent of the information, do 70 percent of the analysis, and feel 70 percent

On Sunday, April 30, 2017, a huge rockslide occurred on The Consolation. A Mini-cooper sized block was pulled off by a climber, and many smaller blocks went down as well. We do not know the final disposition of this material, but I would suggest that people take extra care climbing this route until it is cleaned.
The rockfall was initiated by a climber approximately at the top of the fourth pitch. He was injured and had to be evacuated by helicopter. I was part of a nearby party which assisted the injured climber.
This warning applies to all climbs to the left of The Long Climb (but not including it), and to the right of Whodunit (possibly including whodunit, especially the lower pitches)

|I wouldn't worry about being able to climb the route but I would worry for the rest of eternity that there's loose rock on the upper pitches of this wall and some down below too. Don't pull too hard and for god sakes never fall.

This route has some good jamming on it and while nearby Whodunit is swarming with climbers this route often sits vacant. Possible to do in 4 rope-stretching pitches with a 60 meter rope, although this means not using some of the nice belay ledges found on the route.
Continuing straight up on the last pitch, instead of cutting left to join Whodunit (like the guidebook shows), takes you over a strenuous roof (5.10-) and ends at a convenient two bolt anchor.

This is as good a climb as Whodunit in almost all respects, especially if you start at the base of the buttress in the middle of the recess and do the first pitch or two of Constellation (5.8 or so)avoiding the first easy scrambling pitches.
The crux is an unusual crack configuration I've never seen anywhere else.

Reading the above comment, I started on Constellation and climbed up the slabby buttress, belaying on a ledge below the slabby face with a solitary bolt. Fun climbing and a nice alternative to the Consolation start.
I decided to give the slab above a shot and ended up taking a 20' winger onto the bolt, blowing off just a move or two from the top. On my second go, I just traversed right to easier ground and then up.
My partner and I felt the left facing corner of the second pitch (5.8 in the guide) felt slightly harder than the twin cracks that are indicated as the crux . The jams were just so good in the twin cracks (reminiscent of "Thumbs Down Left" in JTree) that it just didn't seem that hard.

|I agree with Adam, P2 is harder than 5.8, and sustained! P3 crux is an awesome and unusual double crack. Bring your best jam game people, this one's pretty burly. I had a much easier time on Human Fright.

|Every year I end-up soloing this route for one reason or another (Partner didn't show up)and every year I find gear left on it.Wires, nuts, cams, you name it.Once I found a whole pitch worth of gear about ten pieces or more all with runners and beaners Just like someone pulled down their rope and left everything.So if going to lead this route and leave all your gear for me.Let me thank you in advance.I do appreciate it. :)

|This route is great if some one is already on Whodunnit or Long's Crack. Can be done in 5 pitches but I did it in 7 due to rope drag. (added two mini pitches) Great hand jams on this route and when the jams run out there's nice little holds. Defnitely worth doing. Joins up with Whodunnit or Long's Crack.(also, watch out for some loose blocks up there)

|Probably my new favourite route on the NW recess. Did in 5 pitches, with comfy belays, and the straight up Long finish (not going right as the guidebook says). I think what is the crux pitch is largely dependent on hand size - but either way never get's harder than 5.9.

Did this route over the weekend and it was Awesome! Endless fun jamming with a few interesting cruxes.
This can be climbed in three pitches if you are willing to solo the first ~250 feet of 4th class and 5.0 to a good ledge.
From the first ledge next to a tree, with a red rope rap station and below a set of double cracks, go ~62 meters to a wide sloping ledge on the right below a small roof. Belay here.
Next climb ~68 meters past the double crack crux and then trend right to a cool right facing roof feature. Pull this at 5.9 and then belay on a nice ledge. Make sure to manage rope drag since this is a stretcher.
The last pitch is only around 40 meters and I trended right up a hand crack in a flare and then up a chimney with a fun pull on jugs to get on the upper slab.

Consolation is a great climb, but I just want to cast one more vote for the alternative start via P1-2 of Constellation. Did this yesterday and it was awesome - an excellent way to add some extra spice (and ~200 ft of quality climbing) to an already great route.
P.S. If you try this variation, the guidebook says to go left (around the corner to a crack) at the solitary bolt. That worked well for me!

|fun jamming going over a number of small roofs. used doubles up to #3 blue C4. we did the 165' first pitch of Constellation, then able to link P2 and P3 of Consolation with a 70 m rope all the way up the entire dihedral to the big slopey ledge with an approx 210' pitch, then linked P4 (the 5.9 pitch) and P5 for approx 150' to traverse up and left to Whodunit. after that, a 180' pitch to one of the Whodunit belays at a small ledge before the upper roof, and then a 200' pitch got us to the top. the loose blocks on P3 of Consolation are just sitting there on the face, but easy enough to maneuver past; also much loose rock on the traverse left to Whodunit, but across easy terrain

|Fun climb. I brought double #1-3 Camalots, but didn't think the second #3 was necessary. My hands are smaller but I didn't have any problems getting good hand jams the whole way. The crux felt harder than Open Book.

A good route with a hard crux. I thought placing gear at the top of the double cracks was the real crux, as it's pumpy and tiring to place from the admittedly good jams.
After the third pitch went right-ish to try to join the Long Climb. This is my 2nd time on the upper half of the Long Climb and I still couldn't find the "downward pointing flake." I climbed around broken terrain finally ending up on top of a block with faded green rap slings around it. From here I traversed almost exactly right to more broken terrain and the summit. Anyone have any ideas on how to get to the crux of the Long Climb? I obviously need help. lol.
Anyway, the Consolation is fun but not remotely sustained except for P2. Next time I'll consider starting on Constellation as others suggested, and possibly finishing on Whodunit.

|Harder and not as good as Whodunit. Placing gear on the crux pitch is definitely strenuous.
By T.J. Esposito

We finished this by doing these two pitches, highly recommended:
1: from the dead tree belay on Long Climb (end of The Consolation) going across the PG13 slab left and up as per Long, then continuing to trend up and left not quite hitting Whodunit... just follow all the cool cracks. Full 60m pitch (prob had 5 feet of rope left). You'll belay in an uncomfortable little chimney/cave with the anchor consisting of nuts or the smallest C3s. The last 15 feet are a cool steep flared crack with just enough solid jams, 10a maybe? Belay is below an obvious roof with a finger-sized crack splitting it, with lots of exfoliated visors to the left of it, 30-40 feet right of Whodunit.
2: Head up a pillar feature with tricky feet, place some gear and pull the roof, 10b? Run up the ramp to the top and set a belay.
This is probably part of another climb, as there chalked holds but I haven't yet consulted the topo to check it out.
Also, if you are thinking about doing P2 of Snakes on Everything (10a variation from the big ledge belay, guide says it's good), I'm not sure we went up the correct crack (first crack about 15' right of the main line?) but the crack we went up was a total mess. Crumbly rock, loose features, and everything had the thickest, most disgusting coating of lichen that made for miserable hands and feet... and shoes filled with crusty shredded lichen.

|After three pitches, rather than head left and finish on Whodunit we climbed up and slightly right for one junky pitch (~100ft). We belayed on a nice ledge from which I found a stellar fingertips-layback to steep hands pitch (9+/10-). From the top of this we trended a bit further right and finished up on Long Climb I believe. I highly recommend this as the tips-layback pitch was the best on the climb. I would love to know what climb that pitch belongs to.

I will probably add this beta to create a new route here on MP since it seems to be a different finish than what is posted here.
I believe we did the first 3 pitches of Consolation then finished on Consolation Direct 5.10a/b in 4 long pitches using a 70m rope. Rope stretcher so bring 12-13 slings and doubles in .5-3 with set of nuts.
Pitch 1: Did the 5.8 start on The Constellation as per what was recommended here by other climbers. Climb the slab/crack to right of the slab for good gear placement. Belay at a large bushy ledge with large block on it. I used .4-.75 C4 in a crack behind a tiny tree/bush.
Pitch 2: (combined pitched of 2/3 of Consolation) Can be combined with 70 meter rope and only had about 5-10 feet of rope left. Bring extra slings 12-13. We only had 10 and created rope drag at the top. Climb up a left facing dihedral passing the crux on Consolation 5.9 to a comfy ledge for next belay. Used a #3 C4 here to protect crux
Pitch 3: From belay head straight up a steep section which protects easily to reach a corner with double cracks. Guide books gives this double crack section 5.9 but felt harder than the 5.10a/b pitches above. Also did Human Fright after this and this double crack felt harder than that route. After passing this section you will be able to see the dead tree to the right where a belay station for Wong-Long climb is. Also a dead tree with multiple slings attached to it. Keep climbing up and slightly left on easy ground climbing over large blocks and flakes to a really nice belay ledge with bushy area about 5 feet left of it.
Pitch 4: Rope stretcher using a 70 meter to very top of tahquitz. From belay head straight up where it looks to be hard climbing but probably goes at 5.7/5.8 with hidden jugs above the corner. Continue slight right then straight up passing a 5.10 crack to easy ground. (Favorite part of the route) Continue straight up and pass a small roof 5.10a/b (crux of Consolation Direct) to top of tahqutiz for gear placement for belay. Did not see a two bolt anchor per what C Miller describes.

|I just did the route described in the previous comment. There most definitely is a a two bolt anchor per C Miller's description. After pulling the small roof, look slightly up to your right.

|HOLY GOD! There's some nuclear bomb death blocks as you top out the main corner system at the start of the direct finish. Do NOT even go near these things. Climb around them left for the direct finish or avoid completely by going right.

Arizona's economic strength and growth the next 100 years depend on the creation of new buildings, commercial development and new infrastructure
A high-speed train between Phoenix and Tucson. Toll roads on I-10 and I-17. A new shopping mall. Three outlet centers. A major development in West Phoenix. New casinos.
Solar manufacturing plants. A light rail that extends from Phoenix to Gilbert. A new interstate — I-11 — linking Phoenix and Las Vegas. State-of-the-art sports facilities.
Reality or wish list?
As Arizona looks ahead to its next 100 years, the future of the commercial real estate industry hinges on new infrastructure to keep the state's economic engine churning while meeting the demands of a growing population.
Since the recession unloaded on the commercial real estate industry in the mid 2000s, it's been an uphill climb for those in the industry, including general contractors, architects, engineers, subcontractors, developers and brokers.
"We will see a population shift to urban areas with a focus on transit- oriented development," predicts Bryan Dunn, senior vice president at Adolfson & Peterson Construction. "Commercial property will need to be re-purposed into alternate uses due to the glut of vacant space in the real estate market.
"We will need to find creative ways to own and operate buildings in the future. There is a growing demand for public/private partnerships for municipal and educational facilities, similar to what has been done in Europe," Dunn says.
AZRE Magazine asks some experts in commercial real estate how they see the industry changing in Arizona over the next decade and beyond. Here are their responses:
Planning and Development
"In the next 10 years, Arizona will finally adopt Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to remain competitive in the business world. The new normal is for less reliance on homebuilding as a jobs industry. Two more high rise office buildings with mixed uses on the lower floors will be built in Downtown Phoenix. In the next 100 years, high-speed rail
will run between Phoenix and Tucson in the Sun Corridor and a new, man-made lake/reservoir will be created north of Phoenix to collect upstream snow melt and serve the needs of Metro Phoenix."
— Jon Froke, Planning Director, City of Glendale
"During the next 10 years, smaller developments that require less off-site infrastructure and result in lighter commitments from homebuilders are likely. Infrastructure requirements/costs will be lower and financial commitments will be smaller, both of which are desirable to financiers and homebuilder shareholders recovering from the recent downturn.
"In the next 100 years, development and homebuilding will undergo some of the most rapid changes ever. In Metro Phoenix and the Tucson area, densities will undoubtedly increase dramatically; we will grow upward rather than outward, as large metropolitan areas eventually do. The materials builders use will change dramatically, looking and feeling different. There will be stronger and lighter materials. Although hard to imagine, many unique, innovative homebuilding products that will be used the homes of the future have already been developed, we continue to wait for them to be rolled out to consumers.
"The continued development of solar technologies is going to have huge impact on all types of commercial development in Arizona. Imagine buildings – retail, office, industrial, homes – not needing to be hooked up to the grid because they produce all of the energy necessary for their usage. The development of "net-zero" facilities in this market, where sun is plentiful, will have a dramatic positive effect on Arizonan's lives."
— Jim Belfiore, President, Belfiore Real Estate Consulting
"The beginning of the change is going on right now. The exchange of ownership has and will have an impact on our industry in the next 10 years. In the RTC days it took about 15 years to fully recover, this current cycle will take 5-7 years to process all of the inventory and for the next wave of owners to re-trade the properties. Banks, special servicers and the FDIC will be in charge of real estate for the long term and all of the assets that are currently under their control won't make it back into private hands in total for 10 years.
"The medical use of retail space will be in full force, everything about this makes sense, retail buildings, namely big box spaces, have the power, the lower rents and the parking already in place to handle a medical user. This will create truly mixed-use locations.
"Internet sales fulfillment centers will hit a critical mass, even if and/or when the state begins to charge them sales tax, even at a much lower rate. Phoenix is well located, we have a growing economy and it makes a lot of sense that those are now starting to pop up here.
"In the next 100 years, buildings will be far more energy efficient, materials to build buildings will be so much more advanced than we can even imagine. In commercial buildings, there will be more bodies per square foot, more technology, less employees, smaller office size requirements. Thousands of new businesses will be created."
— Pete Bolton, Managing Director/Executive VP, Grubb & Ellis
"Real estate growth over the next decade will be far more restrained than in the boom period in the 10 years before the onset of the recession. During that time, commercial property inventories routinely expanded by anywhere from 3% to 5% annually, driven by growing tenant demand for space and rents that steadily pushed higher. A return to that environment is unlikely anytime soon.
"Forecasting out over the next 100 years presents a pretty daunting challenge … but all of the demographic trends show Arizona will remain a growth market over the next century and population growth will spur demand for both commercial and residential real estate. Beyond demographics and quality of life factors, we believe global economic patterns will support growth in Arizona."
— Bob Mulhern, Managing Director, Colliers International
"The design and construction industry needs to be at the forefront of determining how Arizona is developed over the next 10 years. We need to take a hard look at the lessons learned from the past 10 years regarding unconstrained growth and sprawl, as well as from the positive developments of renewed urban focus, comprehensive transportation and development plans, and increased integrated project delivery partnerships.
"Architects have the responsibility for shaping the built environment that we all experience on a daily basis and need to ensure that built environment is increasingly sustainable, functionally practical, and aesthetically pleasing. Through technological advances and communication outlets, AIA architects will be continually educating ourselves about, and be more globally aware of industry trends and improvements that can be applied locally, so that Arizona becomes the ideal place to live, work, and play. In addition to increasingly becoming the leading stewards of our built environment through sustainable design and comprehensive planning, You are going to see an increasing significance in the role the design industry plays in the overall development of our communities.
"The industry will partner much more with government and lines will be blurred in community planning, design review, and construction inspection. Public-Private Partnerships and Integrated Project Delivery methods will become the norm, and the design and construction industry will have much more at stake in what they develop beyond their immediate financial compensation."
— AIA response from Patrick Panetta, ASU; and Chris Knorr, SmithGroupJJR
"All industries, including commercial real estate and architecture, will need to continue to evolve and adapt to emerging technologies. Specifically in the fields of alternative energy and sustainability. I believe the next few years of those 10 years a lot of attention will need to be spent on repurposing existing buildings and facilities. We will obviously need to remain flexible to adapt to the process of becoming stabilized.
"Because technology and technological advances are changing at an exponential rate, I think the next 100 years is beyond reasonable comprehension. Who would have thought 100 years ago that we would be where we are today. However, architecture and real estate haven't significantly changed over the past 100 years, but we also have not had the multiplying pace of technology at our disposal. Who knows, things like tele-transporting may be a reality over the next century, which of course would drastically change architecture and commercial real estate."
— Patrick Hayes, President and CEO, PHArchitecture
"For approximately the first third or half of the next 10 years, commercial real estate will need to focus on absorption and modification to meet current needs of those projects that resulted from overbuilding during prior 'blow and go' times in our industry. Creativity and cost-effective adaptation will be needed to recast non-performing or under-performing commercial assets into assets that can meet the needs of current real estate users. As an example, big box retail spaces that have gone dark will need to be adapted and converted into creative uses to accommodate smaller and even different users. Cities and counties may need to modify their zoning to allow for a broader variety of uses that will meet the needs of today's users.
"One hundred years is a long time and it is difficult and somewhat speculative to attempt to predict what changes will most impact Arizona over such a long time period. However, I suspect that big box retail will downsize as Internet shopping grows over the many years to come. I also suspect that growth in Arizona will have to adjust to demands upon the availability of water and our entire culture will eventually take on a more serious and long-term water approach to and conservation.
"Arizona will need to adapt its economy to more self-sustaining business that is not so dependent upon growth and real estate development. Thus, over the next 100 years Arizona will need to modify its tax and development schemes to accommodate more industry and manufacturing. Finally, Arizona will develop more political clout in Congress and the federal government as its population grows and the state's economy continues to mature."
— Don Miner, Director, Fennemore Craig PC
"The impact construction will have in Arizona over the next 10 years will start with job creation. As the market comes back, the industry will be a leader in putting people back to work. We will need people to fill both direct construction jobs, and jobs that are indirectly related to construction. Every $1B spent in construction results in a total of 20,000 direct and indirect jobs. These jobs will help the middle class, the hardest hit in the last few years in terms of job loss.
"Construction is one of the top five industries nationally, and by then (10 years from now) it will be back among the top five industries for Arizona. Finally, the use of public/private partnerships will increase to meet community needs for amenities, infrastructure and growth."
"Also, in Arizona, construction will be essential in reshaping the suburban landscape of our past into the more blended and integrated urban and semi-urban environment for the future. We are seeing new demographics that have families from multiple generations that live under one roof, and this factor along with other market forces will increase density in the mixed-use urban environment."
— Eric Hedlund, Executive Vice President and COO, Sundt Construction
"Financing will always be a key part to Arizona's growth. How products and services will be delivered will continue to evolve. As the market heals more competition enters into the marketplace thereby giving more investors access to capital. Assuming the economy has healed and is robust, I see a lot more choices for investors, developers and consumers in the next 10 years when it comes to the availability of financing.
"In the next 100 years? The market will always go up and down and therefore there will be more boom and busts as the decades roll forward. The difference in the future is access to information becoming more available than previous decade. The speed of that information will cause market trends to shift faster. Volatility could be more frequent."

text: The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Vol. 1. Edited by Donald H. Reiman and Neil Fraistat Submitted by rc-admin on Thu, 05/15/2003 - 10:26 The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Vol. 1. Edited by Donald H. Reiman and Neil Fraistat. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000. xlviii + 492pp. Illus.: 7 halftones. $80.00 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-8018-6119-5). Reviewed by Nancy Moore Goslee University of Tennessee Scholars and critics have long needed a new, complete version of Percy Bysshe Shelley's poetry. His controversial politics, his marital complexities, his Italian exile, and his unexpected early death all contributed to a legacy of textual confusion that even the magisterial "Julian" edition of Roger Ingpen and Walter Peck in 1927 could not solve (see, The Complete Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, 10 vols., edited by Roger Ingpen and Walter Edwin Peck, Julian Editions [London: E. Benn, Ltd.; New York: C. Scribner's Sons, 1927]). Now that Donald H. Reiman and Neil Fraistat have given us Volume 1 of The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley (CPPBS), our needs have been answered with a profoundly well-planned, meticulously-executed edition. Its editorial commentary and notes often read like the denouéments of detective stories, offering solutions to long-standing textual problems with a clear placement of these poems in the all-too-human contexts of compositional occasion and production difficulties. This volume, the first of a planned seven or eight volumes in the completed edition, explains and tests the editorial principles that are to govern the entire project. It then tests these principles on six groupings of Shelley's earliest published or otherwise circulated poems. Volume 1 brings into focus scattered, suppressed, and virtually unknown works by this brilliant, busy, and oddly canny young poet. If the uncanny of the gothic is the most unifying characteristic of these early works, the real uncanny here is the mystery of how the mature poet, with his verbal and intellectual brilliance, emerges from such derivative, if playfully derivative, poems as these.
