Mosquito control is being aware of what to do so as to protect against acquiring transmitted diseases. The mosquito control has gotten extremely important on account of the gain in the variety of serious diseases due to these little monsters. It is very important and vital to maintain public health throughout the world. Now there are many different good, non-chemical procedures of pure mosquito control.
Apart from that, mosquitoes are called vector of fatal diseases. After breeding, they look for certain areas to rest during the day. They use the heat sensors to find capillaries pulsing with blood near the surface. The very first step to reducing the quantity of mosquitoes you have to handle is to work out why the mosquitoes are drawn in the first spot. If you prefer to destroy mosquitoes, the very first obvious action to do is to receive rid of their breeding grounds. The best method to stop mosquito bites, is to be sure mosquitoes don't breed. It's the female mosquito which leads to the vast spread of diseases.
Mosquitoes are rather annoying. Mosquito netting is a superb solution too. All things considered, mosquitoes are a comprehensive nuisance to you, your family members, and your pets. Secondly, you ought to avoid mosquito bites by sleeping beneath a mosquito net. Mosquitoes have a quick lifespan. Aside from the itch you obtain each time a mosquito bites you, an individual can secure some rather significant diseases from the mosquito. For this you are able to switch to some easy suggestions to control the outdoor mosquitoes as possible not await the mosquito exterminator in Lipan TX to react.
It's summer and the mosquitoes are out in full force in Lipan TX. You may have noticed ads for different insect repellents in stores, magazines, or on TV. With so many different products competing for your attention, it's hard to know which are the most effective. Listed below are a few of the options available.
- Natural Sprays. Herbal sprays are derived from oils that repel mosquitoes and other insects naturally, such as cedar-wood, lemongrass, citronella, eucalyptus and peppermint. These sprays are recommended for young children as a less harsh form of protection. These repellents usually have a strong smell and need to be reapplied every hour. They range anywhere from forty to eighty percent effective, so you may wish to read consumer reviews for several different products before choosing a natural spray.
- Chemical Agents. Chemical sprays are much harsher and can leave a residue which can even wipe ink off of labels when left on hands. They also have a strong smell; usually the stronger the smell the more effective the product. DEET based repellents are the most effective and have been used for decades.
- Botanical Lotions. Botanical lotions have been found to be the most effective of these applications. Rating up to ninety percent effective, some lotions can last for up to two hours and have a lighter feel on the skin. Most do contain a small percentage of DEET but are still environmentally friendly, and while they still can have a strong smell, they are far less odorous than both chemical and natural sprays.
Torches and Candles
- Citronella. Similar to lemongrass, this grass is a natural insect repellent. It is most common used in a candle form or in torches that can be staked into the ground around the area to be protected. Candles are usually about forty percent effective, and while they do offer some protection, it is good to use it them combination with personal applicators if you are afraid of being bitten.
- Infused Apparel. Believe it or not, there is even chemical infused apparel available from some retailers. The material is treated with a patented pesticide and wards off ticks, mosquitoes and other bugs. The repellent usually lasts through twenty-five washes. The effectiveness of these products are high, but they comes at a higher price tag and only protect the region of the body nearest to the treated material.
- Nets are the only completely chemical-free way to keep mosquitoes out. Mosquito nets are light and very effective at preventing mosquitoes from entering a confined space. This makes mosquito nets ideal for protecting small spaces such as beds, but not practical for moving around outdoors.
Home Misting Systems
Home misting systems are a modern and highly effective method of keeping mosquitoes at bay in Lipan TX. These systems spray an area around the home periodically and clear the air of any pests. Although you will still need lotions or sprays when you leave home, a home misting system will allow you to enjoy your back yard without the need for greasy sprays or strong smelling candles and torches.
Depending on the number of people you are trying to protect, the amount of time you are trying to keep mosquitoes away, and the location, each repellent method provides a set of benefits. Sprays and lotion work best for those travelling away from home, where as home misting systems are more appropriate for home use. Covering up arms and legs when possible is a good chemical-free method of protecting yourself, but the summer heat may make this impractical. Whichever repellent you end up using, fewer mosquitoes will mean more enjoyment of your time outdoors.
We hope this information helps keep you and your family safe and healthy. And, if you need the help of a company that sprays for mosquitoes in Lipan TX then call the number above for a professional exterminator.

There's something about picking up dessert with your hands that feels just a little bit scandalous, and somehow makes every bite just a touch sweeter. Why do you think doughnuts have reigned as supreme breakfast treat over coffee cake for so long, or cupcakes usurped the throne from their fork-requiring counterpart?
While pie's handheld variety hasn't seen the national spotlight quite like other baked goods, here in the South the pocket pie is something of a regional treasure. The name might be up for discussion, but whether you call them hand pies, pocket pies, or fried pies, this Southern staple has all the hallmarks of a perfect picnic treat, and these banana Nutella cardamom pocket pies are no exception.
Generally, making this treat is primarily smooth sailing, but waters can get a little choppy when it comes to filling and sealing the pocket pies. The first, and most important, rule seems simple enough: don't overfill the individual pies. While it may be tempting to load up each piece of dough with as much Nutella and as many bananas as possible, this will prove to be disastrous when they fall apart during frying and filling is floating around in the hot oil. If you show restraint during this step (I know, I know, it's hard) reward yourself by eating an extra pocket pie—or three—once they get out of the fryer.
Sealing and crimping pocket pies (or empanadas, for that matter) is something of an unsung art form in the culinary world and can require quite a bit of trial-and-error to find your favorite method. If you're a master folder and crimper, I applaud your achievement. If you're like the rest of us, a few tricks can come in handy. Dipping your fingers in cold water and running them around the edges of the pie dough before folding over will allow the dough to seal more effectively, and make the dough easier to crimp using the trusty fork tines method, which I prefer. Dusting the tines with flour prior to use will also make the sealing process easier and guarantee no filling eruptions while cooking.
If you aren't a fan of Nutella, any sort of nut butter would also be delicious inside these pocket pies paired with a fruit—think almond butter and strawberries or peanut butter and apples—but make sure to pair the filling with an appropriate spice in the crust.

I've been hoarding cupcake ideas on Pinterest since I first joined. For me, that's the ultimate use of Pinterest — seeing great ideas for birthday cupcakes and having a means by which to remember those ideas (as opposide to the file of magazine clippings I added things to but never looked at.)
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to report an issue.
My friend Julie pinned a terrific rainbow doodle cake idea that I kept coming back to. It wasn't so much the layers of different colored cakes, though that was cool, it was the blank canvas surface of fondant colored on by kids with food coloring markers. As it happened, we had a ton of fondant left over from our Skylanders birthday cake, so I decided to adapt the idea for cupcakes and let the birthday girl do all of the work.
I rolled out store-bought white fondant to about a quarter-inch layer, and cut circles with a two-inch round cookie cutter. Then I plopped enough circles down in front of my daughter to cover cupcakes for her entire 1st Grade class along with a pack of food coloring markers. I figured she'd be into it, but I had no idea the extent to which she'd personalize them for her class. "Jonah loves football, so I'm going to put a football on his. And Victoria loves rainbows. Simon, of course, is going to get Plants vs. Zombies, but then Julian should have Angry Birds…" It went on and one. Whenever she couldn't think of what to draw, she drew a picture of that person.
The best part was being in class to hand out the cupcakes and see the kids' reactions. Some of the kids caught a glimpse of them and had questions about the different pictures.
"Do you have a cupcake with a rainbow on it?" Victoria asked me.
"Victoria," I said, "Not only do I have a cupcake with a rainbow on it, but it's got your name on it!"
I think the boys' reactions were the funniest. Three different boys came over and spontaneously hugged my daughter. Jonah thank her for his football no fewer than three times. I was so proud of my girl's thoughtfulness. Imagine what your kids can do with these sweet doodles!Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

soryuuha - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkfinally Windows Phone IE is catching up with Android/iOS browser counterpart. Reply
althaz - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkThis is good news. Other than the lack of games, I mostly feel like a smug asshole when I compare my Lumia with my friends' phones, but the browser is the one clear area where WP8 lags behind its competitors. Reply
skiboysteve - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkVery happy about this. Agreed on the irony. I hope the desktop mode setting still works fine Reply
Alexvrb - Saturday, August 02, 2014 - linkAgreed, a lot of sites have crappy mobile versions and I prefer the desktop experience, even if I have to do a bit of zooming and scrolling. Reply
BMNify - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkJust one week to go for 8.1 update 1, excited for Cortana as she comes outside USA, the other improvements like live folders, browser refinements etc are just icing on the cake :) Reply
wrkingclass_hero - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkI hate mobile versions of sites so much. Personally I would much prefer browsing the desktop site. Reply
Brett Howse - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkYou can set IE to request the desktop or mobile site in the settings, so the choice is yours. Reply
invinciblegod - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkWould you hate it if the site actually has feature parity with the desktop site (almost never happens)? Because that is the only reason I dislike mobile sites for certain tasks. For tasks it support, I always prefer the mobile site. Reply
CSMR - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkNice to have a fast rate of updates, but I don't like the idea of supporting non-standard HTML. Reply
Klimax - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkAnd webdevs have proven they can't learn from history... Reply
Tegeril - Saturday, August 02, 2014 - linkNo, webdevs have learned that you have to support the most dominant platforms, no matter what happens. FWIW, developing feature-parity sites for Windows Phone is a pain in the ass. The browser is buggy, behaves oddly, and is miles behind Mobile Safari/Google Chrome. This may help end users but will further make things difficult for devs. Reply
jamyryals - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkIt's unfortunate companies are having to do workarounds like this, but in the end it is the user experience that is important. It is good to see Microsoft taking these steps, and I hope it works well. Reply
CaedenV - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkOddly enough I liked IE10 on WP8 better than IE11 on WP8.1. Yes, mobile sites were pretty much broken, but most desktop sites worked well. But the biggest difference was that on IE10 it did not support most advertisements, so it was like having AB+. With IE11 most of the adverts display, but the layout is wrong so there is no way to exit out of the ones that get in your face. Hopefully WP8.1 Update (1) will fix this because I would much rather deal with a slightly off viewing experience where I can get to content rather than a 'better' (or at least more accurate) experience where the content is hidden or inaccessible.
Really, enabling add-ons like AB+ or the desktop IE11's tracking protection features would be the best solution to this problem.
That said, reading mode in IE11 is pretty slick on the phone and does a good job at stripping out the junk... but it also strips out the related pictures and videos, so it is not a clear win. Reply
Wolfpup - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkThis is great that they're tweaking it.
Personally though I avoid mobile versions of sites whenever possible. Typically I dislike their formatting, and frequently they're not a true duplication of the real site. They're often missing features/links/etc., sometimes to the point of absurdity. I've had to spend 20 minutes trying to get to part of a real site that I'd typed the direct URL in for, because the site ignores what I typed, and redirects to a crippled mobile site.
I like that mobile IE has a setting to request the desktop version. Seems like maybe Firefox on Android has that too? At any rate I always switch to the desktop version of a site when possible, even on a 4" phone...some extra scrolling beats a broken interface and missing features in my book. Reply
toyotabedzrock - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkAs a long time Opera user the irony in this is so sweet. The number of sites that served Opera bad code because of the browser id was huge. Reply
lorribot - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkOnly just got 8.1 on my phone so don't expect the update to come my way for another 3 months or so. Wife still has got it or a few others I know.
Wish that MS would ban dumb phone companies from adding rubbish on the phones that can prevent or slow down the release of updates. Nobody cares about them anyway. Reply
BMNify - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkDeveloper preview is the Microsoft's bypass system for delivering fast updates directly to consumers with no interference from phone companies and carriers, that is why you don't need to be a developer or anything to get Dev. preview, just download an app and login, voila you are enrolled :) Reply

A MAN was stabbed after a gang of masked men stormed into a pub carrying machetes and bats.
The drama unfolded at the Victoria Hotel in Ainsworth Road at 8.30pm yesterday.

This post is part of a series on setting up and using the Marketing Channel reports. In the previous posts we set up the Marketing Channel rules and renamed the "Internal" rule to "Session Refresh". The main reason we rename the rule is to lessen confusion between "Internal Campaigns" and "Internal Entries" in Marketing Channels. Internal Campaigns and promotions should never be included in external traffic sources reports. The main reason for this is that we want to see how internal AND external campaigns perform separately, and in another report how they perform together. If they are included in the same report the internal campaign values will overwrite external campaign values and we won't be able to see how either truly performs.

PLEAS are being made to overhaul Worcester's notorious A4440 Southern Link Road at night - and speed up the roadworks quicker to avoid driver misery.
Politicians at Worcestershire County Council say residents are worried that the £38 million project, which is set to start in April, will result in constant traffic problems.
As your Worcester News revealed last year, over the next four years the route will be part-dualled, from the Whittington island down to the Ketch roundabout.
It will result in the Ketch island, off the A38 Bath Road, doubling in size and the Network Rail owned bridge by the Whittington roundabout made wider to take an extra lane.
But some politicians say they have already had residents contact them fearful about the impact on congestion in the meantime.
The Conservative leadership has revealed that "some" of the work is likely to take place at night following the plea.
Councillor Paul Tuthill, who represents Malvern Link said: "It used to be the case that if you left Malvern at 6am you could get onto the M5 quickly, but that wasn't the case this morning.
"Although people in Malvern are very keen to see this go ahead, they are saying 'what will happen to the traffic when this work is being done'.
"Have we looked into doing this at night? Otherwise what we'll end up with is months and months of problems."
His concern was echoed by Councillor Marc Bayliss, who represents St Peter's at County Hall.
"Is there any way the link work can be brought forward? I see it is due to be complete in 2018/19 but can we look into finishing it sooner."
The council has pledged to do the work in phases, and plans to finish the Ketch revamp by the spring of 2015 before starting on the next stretch one year later.
That 12 month 'lay off' period will allow the designs to be finalised and give drivers some crucial respite before it kicks off again.
Councillor Simon Geraghty, deputy leader and the cabinet member for economy, skills and infrastructure said: "Certainly, what we will do where possible is make sure the work is done outside the existing carriageway, then tie it in to the current carriageway to minimise the impact.
"And certainly some of that work will take place at night. We are very much alive to this issue, it's a key route used by, 30,000 vehicles a day."
The council say the part-dualling will reduce waiting times by up to 50 per cent, especially for drivers heading towards the M5.
It does not include the Carrington Bridge, but the council says it hopes to dual that after 2018 if it can secure funding, with the costs estimated at anywhere from £30 million upwards.

[This description of the Fine Art Society, which has its own website, comes from one of their recent brochures. Students, collectors, and devotees of Victorian and early-modern sculpture, painting, furniture, ceramics, and all aspects of design might wish to consult some of their currently available catalogues, which are always important sources of information.GPL]
THE FINE ART SOCIETY was founded in 1876 and quickly established itself as one of London's leading art dealers. The front of its New Bond Street building was remodelled in 1881 by E. W. Godwin, and the interior by Faulkner Armitage. The great watercolourists and draughtsmen of the 19th Century — Turner, Bewick and Palmer — featured in early exhibitions, as did Hokusai and Hiroshige. The publishing of engravings after works by the leading artists of the day —Leighton, Millais, Herkomer, Holman Hunt and Elizabeth Thompson (Lady Butler) — was an important early activity.
The Society pioneered the idea of the one-man exhibition. The most sensational of these was the 1883 exhibition of Whistler's Venetian etchings entitled An Arrangement in White and Yellow. This imaginative commission given to Whistler in the wake of the notorious Ruskin-Whistler trial was neatly balanced by financial support for Ruskin through an exhibition of the latter's collection of J.M.W. Turner watercolours.
John Singer Sargent, Frank Brangwyn, Walter Sickert, and the sculptors Alfred Gilbert, Hamo Thornycroft and George Frampton all exhibited at the gallery. The Fine Art Society also mounted all the London exhibitions of Leon Bakst, major shows of Mestrovic and Gluck and more recently represented James Mclntosh Patrick, Richard Eurich, Edward Bawden and other distinguished artists of the last sixty years.
The Fine Art Society has played a pioneering role in the revival of interest in the early years of the New English Art Club, the Glasgow Boys, the Birmingham Group, the Aesthetic Movement, the Arts and Crafts Movement, the designs of Christopher Dresser and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the Scottish Colourists, the sculpture of the inter-war years, and post-war design.
The Fine Art Society now sells secondhand the art that it originally sold "new" at the same time investigating new fields and continuing to represent an illustrious group of painters including Leonard Rosoman, Norman Blamey, lan McKenzie Smith, Emma Sergeant and others.

Ric Bucher wrote:More from the Trade Winds: it would surprise no one if JJ Redick were moved before the February trade deadline, but
there's no urgency on the part of the Magic for several reasons, according to a source. One: after a rough 5-10 start, Orlando has gone 6-3, a burst not coincidentally launched by a soul-satisfying win over former teammate Dwight Howard and the Lakers. If Redick is moved, it will be for a younger talent and/or a draft pick and the Magic wouldn't mind staying competitive for as long as they can this season. Two: as of right now, the potential suitors aren't anywhere near making their best offer. The likeliest trade partners: Chicago, Memphis, Minnesota, Milwaukee, Utah. The Bulls were interested in Redick as a FA and Memphis supposedly expressed recent interest. I haven't heard directly that Minnesota, Milwaukee and Utah have talked to Orlando but Redick fits their systems and/or fills a need
He'd be a nice fit, but how much would we really want to offer for an expiring?

Rockies drop soggy finale against Yankees
Bats collect four singles; nearly two-hour rain delay interrupts play
DENVER -- To say the Rockies and Yankees series was a tight one would be a gross understatement. They played as close as two coats of paint, with the Rockies' quality pitching rising to the occasion and holding New York to six runs in three games, but with Colorado's offense in a funk, the Yankees prevailed, 3-1, on Thursday to take the series.
Despite a 2-4 homestand, the Rockies' 19-15 record six weeks into the season kept them from frustration's fangs. A well-played series with the Yankees offered plenty of fodder for a team eager to show it can match up with any team in baseball, and for players who believe the clichés about being competitive and having a chance to win, the mid-week series was full of little victories. But for those focused on the ultimate results, little victories don't add up to wins.
"Our pitching was outstanding, and our offense was definitely subpar, not acceptable," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "We've had some guys cool off at the same time. It's been tough to string hits together and string productive at bats together."
The Yankees got on the board early, taking advantage of Jeff Francis' one-out walk in the first to Jayson Nix. Robinson Cano advanced Nix with a groundout to second, and Vernon Wells brought him home with a single to right, giving the Yankees a one-run lead before Colorado's first hacks.
"We just did a lot of little things right," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "When we had opportunities to score, we did. There weren't a lot of runs scored in Colorado. I can't imagine people would have predicted that here."
The Rockies came back in their half of the inning, parlaying a free pass to leadoff man Eric Young Jr. into a manufactured run. Dexter Fowler grounded into a fielder's choice and went to third on Troy Tulowitzki's single to right. Carlos Gonzalez hit a shallow fly to left and Fowler narrowly beating the tag at the plate to tie up the game.
It was Tulowitzki's first start after two days on the bench, and he wasted no time showing his value in the middle of the lineup.
"I felt good," Tulowitzki said, promising he'll definitely be in Friday's lineup in St. Louis. "The rest, now that I look back on it, it was probably needed. I felt like a different player out there. I was moving a lot better, more myself. That was very encouraging."
Tulowitzki's single was the only hit Colorado recorded off Yankees starter CC Sabathia. The veteran left-hander retired the next 11 batters he faced, completing his third consecutive one-two-three inning just as the rain forced a one-hour and 59-minute rain delay with the Yankees holding a 2-1 lead.
"CC's obviously been good for a long time," Tulowitzki said. "He throws strikes. He doesn't have the stuff he once did. He would probably say that, velocity-wise. He's pitching a little bit different from what I saw, but he's still very effective and he still finds a way to get it done."
Francis pitched through traffic in each of his four innings, putting a couple of runners on in every inning except his last, when the Yankees pushed another run across after former Rockie Chris Nelson led off with a double down the left-field line. Lyle Overbay moved him over to third with a grounder to second and Chris Stewart brought him home with a sacrifice fly to center.
"I executed some good pitches," Francis said. "They did a good job manufacturing the run off the leadoff double in the fourth inning. Broken-bat single scores a run in the first. It's a good team. We expected more out of ourselves this series. We just have to make sure we do better."
Reliever Adam Ottavino picked up the baton from Francis after the skies cleared and play resumed, getting two quick outs in the top of the fifth before watching Cano drive an offering into the right-field bullpen for his ninth home run, giving the Yankees a wafer-thin margin of error as they protected a two-run lead through the final five innings.
Colorado threatened in the seventh, with Wilin Rosario lacing a leadoff single to left. Nolan Arenado hit a hard comebacker to the mound that Warren converted into a double play to keep New York out of a big inning. Jordan Pacheco and Josh Rutledge rallied with back-to-back two-out singles, but pinch-hitter Todd Helton chased a slider low and outside of the strike zone to end the inning.
"With runners in scoring position, we didn't swing the bat as well as we'd like," Helton said. "It's a tough day. The weather's been an issue. You can make plenty of excuses. Sitting around all day. But the bottom line is they're all excuses, and we didn't get the job done."
To their credit, the club is taking its lumps in stride. It's an admirable quality in a team trying to turn itself around after a dismal season, though it can be a fine line between self-confidence and complacence.
"You reach ruts as offensive players, and you just got to go out and keep swinging," Fowler said after extending his own funk to 0-for-14. "I'm taking good at-bats, walking still, still getting on base."
The challenge the Rockies face is to keep playing tight games without their players feeling tight and pressing. Tulowitzki likes what he sees of the club's evolving character, even if the only hard evidence of a team coming into its own is its record -- four games over .500 after never being more than a game over .500 in all of 2012.
"We're starting to believe that we're a good team," Tulowitzki said. "No one said this thing was going to be easy. There's going to be a few bumps in the road. It's going to take all the way to the end if we're going to be successful."

Powerball Numbers Drawns For $300 million Jackpot
The jackpot for tonight's Powerball drawing has grown to $300 million.
Saturday night's numbers were: 21,24,36,42,45 Powerball 15
here was no winner Wednesday for the multi-state game for the seventh straight drawing in a row.
The cash value of Saturday's drawing is $172.2 million.
A jackpot of this size is likely to draw more players meaning it could grow again before Saturday night's drawing. It's already grown from it's initial $290million jackpot right after Wednesday's drawing.
The drawing takes place at 10:59 p.m. and televised by WABC TV and WPVI TV. It can also be watched on the Powerball website.
- Text NEWS to 89000 to among the first to get Saturday night's Powerball numbers
It's the sixth time in 2013 the jackpot for the multi-state game has topped $200 million. There hasn't been a winner since June 22 when a jackpot with an annuity value of $131 million was won in Pennsylvania by a Delaware County woman who came forward this week.
Your odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 175,223,510 according to the Powerball website. There's a 1 in 31.85 chance that a ticket holder could win something else including the smallest prize of $4.

Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB)Close
Leverage multi-core performance and heterogeneous computing without having to be a threading or parallel programming expert.
- Parallelize computationally intensive work, delivering higher-level and simpler solutions using standard C++.
- Most feature-rich and comprehensive solution for parallel application development
- Highly portable, composable, affordable, and approachable and also provides future-proof scalability.
- Compile agnostic, supports multiple OS and optimized for all Intel® architectures
Parallel Programming and Heterogeneous Computing at your Fingertips with Intel® TBB
Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) is a widely used C++ library for shared-memory parallel programming and heterogeneous computing (intra-node distributed memory programming). The library provides a wide range of features for parallel programming, including generic parallel algorithms, concurrent containers, a scalable memory allocator, work-stealing task scheduler, and low-level synchronization primitives. Intel TBB is a library only solution for task-based parallelism and does not require any special compiler support. It ports to multiple architectures including Intel® architectures, ARM*, and POWER*.
Key Benefits of Using Intel TBB
Intel TBB differs from typical threading packages in the following ways:
- Enables you to specify logical parallelism instead of threads.
Intel TBB has a runtime library that automatically maps logical parallelism onto threads in a way that makes efficient use of processor resources―thereby making it less tedious and more efficient.
- Targets threading for performance.
Intel TBB focuses on the particular goal of parallelizing computationally intensive work, delivering higher-level, simpler solutions
- Compatible with other threading packages.
Intel TBB can coexist seamlessly with other threading packages, giving you the flexibility to not touch your legacy code but still use Intel TBB for new implementations.
- Emphasizes scalable, data parallel programming.
Intel TBB emphasizes data-parallel programming, enabling multiple threads to work on different parts of a collection. Data-parallel programming scales well to larger numbers of processors by dividing the collection into smaller pieces. With data-parallel programming, program performance increases as you add processors.
- Relies on generic programming.
Intel TBB uses generic programming. The essence of generic programming is writing the best possible algorithms with the fewest constraints. The C++ Standard Template Library (STL) is a good example of generic programming in which the interfaces are specified by requirements on types.
- Supports heterogeneous computing.
Intel TBB does this through the Flow Graph Designer.
What kind of applications can be multi-threaded/parallelized using Intel TBB?
Multi-threading is for applications where the problem can be broken down into tasks that can be run in parallel, or where the problem itself is massively parallel, as some mathematics or analytical problems are:
- Numeric weather prediction
- Oceanography and astrophysics
- Socioeconomics
- Finite element analysis
- AI and automation
- Genetic engineering
- Seismic exploration
- Weapon research and defense
- Remote sensing applications
- Medical applications
- Energy resource exploration
Specs at a Glance
Optimized for all Intel® compatible processors including Intel® Atom™, Intel® Core™, and Intel® Xeon® processors, and Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors.
Portability and Compatibility
Open source under Apache* license and commercial licensing available through Intel® Parallel Studio XE and Intel® System Studio. See try and buy to compare options.
Compatible with multiple compilers (compiler agnostic)
Operating Systems
Windows*, Linux*, OS X*, and Android* (additional with open source).

Dance: No Translation Needed
Theater department's quadrennial dance concert showcases the inventiveness of the choreography faculty. by Karin Fleming '09
"White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So many possibilities . . . "
For associate professor of theater arts Mary Corsaro, this quote, from the Stephen Sondheim–James Lapine musical Sunday in the Park with George, sums up what it means to put together a dance concert. "That line has always resonated with me," says Corsaro, who regularly choreographs musicals. "When I think of dance concerts, I think of this quote." Musicals, she points out, come with a script and a score, offering a jumping-off place for discussions about how the material might be approached. For a dance concert, however, everything must to be done from scratch.
Every four years, Ithaca College's theater department does just that. This year the show Dance: No Translation Needed featured jazz, ballet, tap, and modern dance.
Corsaro's jazz number, "Five'll Get You Jive," featured the antics of 20 characters and was set in a bar in the 1940s. This was the fifth time she staged the work, but with all the details, she notes, you could watch it many times and see something new each time.
While Corsaro revamped an old favorite, instructor Amy O'Brien collaborated with assistant professor Lindsay Gilmour to create a duet, "The Hummingbird and the Butterfly," which featured their respective genres, ballet and modern. "It was a play off our personalities," O'Brien says, "and the playfulness between modern and ballet."
O'Brien also choreographed another number, "Between the Two Falls," which had five movements, each of which represented a different emotion. "This was really a personal piece for me," says O'Brien. "That [personal connection is] kind of my motivation for choreographing."
This was O'Brien's first experience with a quadrennial Ithaca College dance, and she says the process was intense. "Since it only happens every four years, everyone has to relearn how to do it," she explains. "I was really proud of the students."

THE weather has put paid to matches due to be played by both Taunton and Wellington tonight.
Taunton were scheduled to Evesham United in the Calor league while Wellington were set to visit Wincanton.
The game was always in a spot of doubt after another washout of a weekend and this morning the game was postponed for a second time having already been a victim of waterlogging at the end of December when it was originally scheduled to have been played.
A third date is now needed on which to play the game.
Wellington are at Chippenham Park on Saturday before a midweek home game with Shepton Mallet next Wednesday (February 19).

Tell Me About the Creation
The Origin of Mammals
Contrary to evolutionist claims, mammals emerged on Earth suddenly without any predecessors. Moreover, evolutionists have no explanation for the origin of distinct mammal groups.
As so far examined, the theory of evolution proposes that some imaginary creatures that came out of the sea transformed themselves into reptiles and that birds were formed by the evolution as that of reptiles. According to the same scenario, reptiles are the ancestors not only of birds but also of mammals. However, on the one hand, there are big, structural gaps between reptiles, which have scales on their bodies, which are cold-blooded, and which reproduce by laying eggs, and on the other, mammals, which have fur on their bodies, which are warm-blooded, and which reproduce by giving birth to live offspring.
An example of the structural barriers between reptiles and mammals is their jaw structure. Mammals' mandibles consist of only one mandibular bone and the teeth are placed on this bone. In reptiles, however, there are three little bones on both sides of the mandible.
Another basic difference is that all mammals have three bones in their middle ear (hammer, anvil, and stirrup). In all reptiles, there is a single bone in the middle ear. Evolutionists claim that the reptile jaw and reptile middle ear evolved gradually into the mammal jaw and ear. Yet the question of how this change occurred remains unanswered. In particular, the question of how an ear with a single bone evolved into an ear with three bones and how the process of hearing kept on functioning in the meanwhile can never be explained.
Not surprisingly, not a single fossil to link reptiles and mammals is to be found. This is why evolutionist paleontologist Roger Lewin was forced to say that "the transition to the first mammal... is still an enigma".43
George Gaylord Simpson, one of the biggest evolutionary authorities in the 20th century makes the following comment on this fact that is quite perplexing for evolutionists:
All of these demonstrate that mammals also appeared on Earth suddenly and fully formed, without any ancestors. This is concrete evidence of the fact that they were created by God.
43)Roger Lewin, "Bones of Mammals, Ancestors Fleshed Out", Science, Band 212, 26 June 1981, S. 1492.

HOUSTON - There's a 70 percent chance that a tropical disturbance may form in the Gulf of Mexico in the next 48 hours.
According to the National Hurricane Center, there's a broad area of low pressure near the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico that is producing a large area of thunderstorms from the Yucatan Peninsula northeastward across western Cuba and up to southern Florida.
Forecasters said upper level winds are expected to become conducive for tropical development as the system moves into the central Gulf of Mexico.
"Two models we are looking at are the GFS (Global Forecast System) and the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts). Over the next three days, both models develop the system. The big difference is that that the ECMWF makes it a hurricane and the GFS does not," KPRC Local 2 meteorologist Anthony Yanez said. "While it's not impossible, the strong hurricane forecast in the deterministic run ECMWF early next week is unlikely."
If the system becomes a named storm, it would be known as Debby.
There will be a benefit for surfers over the weekend.
"With low deepening in the Gulf at the same time high pressure is building over Texas, the gradient will increase offshore, thus bigger waves and elevated tides likely impact our area," Yanez said.
If it forms, where will it go?
"It remains to be seen where it would go, but there's two possibilities," KPRC Local 2 hurricane expert meteorologist Bill Read said. "The most likely one from the models today, for the next couple days at least, is in the eastern Caribbean. We also haven't considered, if it doesn't develop at all, maybe coming back to the west."

More than 10,000 pints were poured on Saturday as fans enjoyed Crystal Palace FC's annual beer festival.
A sell out crowd of around 2,500 attended the festival which is in its fourth year and saw the likes of Neil Morrissey, Maxi Jazz of Faithless and Eagles' legend Julian Speroni attend the event.
The Crystals were also at the festival handing out pint glasses to fans as they entered to celebrate in earnest Palace's survival in the Premier League.
More than 150 beers were on offer as well as a host of live music acts to keep fans entertained.
Eagle's co-chairman Steve Browett said the festival was the best one yet.
Mark Russell & chairman Stephen Browett with the Crystals
He said: "This was the best Crystal Palace Beer Festival yet and the biggest too, with 2500 people enjoying 180 different draught beers and ciders made by craft producers from all over the country.
"The Cronx beers from Croydon seemed to be the most popular and they sold out very quickly.
"It was the perfect end of season party and I hope that those who attended had as good a time as I did."
Mark Russell, one of the Cronx brewers, said Magic Rock by He said: "We were really happy with how the day went. First and foremost we were really proud to have our beers there but also to organise all the other beer.
"It is fast becoming one of the biggest beer festivals in London and we are just really proud to be part of it.
"We are already looking forward to next year and ways in which we could improve the beer festival. It has got to a point where little things need tweaking to make it even better than it already is.
"In terms of our own beers the cookie stout seemed to go down really well with everyone. It was a experimental brew we did and we got great feedback which is fantastic."

8 Warning Signs He's Breaking Up With You
How to tell if your guy's about to bail.
-Carrie Seim
Nobody likes to be on the wrong end of the "it's-not-you-it's-me" call. That's one conversation we'd all prefer went straight to voicemail.
Let's face it – breaking up almost always sucks. But when you're the one who failed to see the Big Dump coming, you face an entirely new level of suck. Epic suck. Monumental suck. Can't-go-to-work-because-my-eyes-are-swollen-from-all-this-crying-and-no-one-will-ever-love-me suck.
So how can you tell when a guy (with whom you've been sharing a life, a loofah or a last name) is about to call the whole thing off? We asked real men to divulge their breakup trade secrets. Here are eight warning signs men display just before saying So long, sweetheart.
1. The Slow Fade
The slow fade is a term coined by one of my guy friends, Will*, to describe his classic exit strategy from a relationship.
"The slow fade is when I subtly reduce frequency of contact with a chick," he says. "I guess I hope maybe she won't notice I'm not calling or texting as much. It's a good preamble to the actual breakup, because either she forgets about me or she gets pissed at me. Either way, the breakup moves along quite nicely."
2. His Alibi
Guys often combine the Slow Fade with another passive-aggressive breakup technique: the Unnecessarily Complicated Alibi.
"If I don't want to hang out with a girl anymore, I start listing all these elaborate, detailed reasons why I'm busy for the next two weeks and can't see her," explains Will. "I cover all my bases. Next Tuesday at 4:05 p.m.? Sorry, I have an appointment with my podiatrist. Friday night at 8 o'clock? I have to write a thank you note to my grandma."
This is a tricky one, ladies, because guys are often legitimately busy (just like you). The critical distinguisher between "busy but into you" and "busy and over you" is his offer to reschedule. If he makes a reschedule offer for a specific date and time, no need to jump the breakup gun. But if there's no makeup date in sight – it may be sayonara, sugar.

WASHINGTON -- Mobile and social initiatives are becoming increasingly important to retailers. According to "The State Of Retailing Online 2011: Marketing, Social, and Mobile" report conducted by Forrester Research Inc. for Shop.org, 91% of retailers currently have a mobile strategy in place or in development (up from 74% a year ago). Additionally, 72% of retailers say they will increase their spending on social networks this year over last year. "
Retailers report that 21% of all mobile traffic is coming from tablets; yet, the overall amount of mobile traffic and revenue has not increased dramatically, suggesting that investment levels in site optimization may still be inadequate, Shop.org reported. For example, 48% of retailers report having a mobile-optimized website; 35% have deployed an iPhone app; and 15% offer an Android app and an iPad app, respectively.
"After spending the last few years learning how to capitalize on social media and new mobile technologies, one of retailers' main focuses right now seems to be leveraging the tremendous popularity of tablet devices, such as the iPad," said Shop.org head of research Fiona Swerdlow. "As sales channels continue to blur in retail, companies are creating mobile apps that make their brands seem current, entertaining, or fun, while at the same time creating a unique opportunity to connect with more shoppers than ever before."
According to the survey, retailers are investing more in social media, but are unsure of the benefits. Sixty-two percent of retailers said the returns on social marketing strategies are unclear, and nearly the same percentage said the primary ROI from social marketing is listening to — and gaining a better understanding of — customers.
"The data indicates that significant investments in social and mobile tactics will be in place this year," said Sucharita Mulpuru, VP, principal analyst Forrester Research. "Retail executives should have modest expectations for the benefits of social commerce. With regard to mobile, retailers should be working to increasingly integrate features and functionality into the physical store experience. While consumers may not be extensively exploring product information yet, basic store information, transparent pricing, and easy checkout capabilities are likely to be the most pressing opportunities for most sites in the near term."

Students of International Ataturk Alatoo University represent different cultures, nationalities and religious confessions. In spite of their differences, they have many similarities. The atmosphere of tolerance and brotherhood prevails at university. Being faced to each other, students acquire more culture, customs and traditions, through variety of social activities organized by students such as social clubs, cultural fairs, concerts and charity. For example, the members of the Dance club learn and show dances of different nations. Almost all nationalities participate in charity fairs; making national meals, singing songs and showing dances; thus they earn money for orphanages.
Students also study art in clubs such as Komuz Club, where they learn how to play Kyrgyz national music instrument and join Kyrgyz culture.
Solidarity allows students to get on well with each other. That makes them be open and friendly.
1. "Alatoo" national dance group
2. Lezgin group
"Alatoo" national dance started to work from 2014 under the direction of choreographer Djambulova Aijan. Ten girls learn and perform dances of different nations: Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Kazakh, Turkish and Uyghur. You can enjoy their show during the conserts.
Casting is in September.
Days: Monday, Tuersday 16:00-17:30
Lezgin group

News Watch: SVS Press Author Catherine Mandell Appears on PBS Program
April 8–9, 2011 • Off-Campus Event
Catherine Mandell, author of When You Fast: Recipes for Lenten Seasons, a cookbook published by St. Vladimir's Seminary Press (2005), made national news this past weekend. She appeared on the popular PBS program "Religion & Ethics Newsweekly" in a segment titled "Orthodox Lenten Meals," hosted by Bob Abernathy. In the show, Ms. Mandell shared with her audience not only the fasting rules and regulations within the Orthodox Christian tradition but also the ethos underlying them.
Expressing the joy associated with the season of Great Lent, Ms. Mandell presented the spiritual benefits of fasting, and commented upon practical works that normally accompany fasting, such as almsgiving and refraining from gossip. She also described her initial attempts at keeping a strict fast, and her continuing expertise in cooking proper foods for lenten periods.
Ms. Mandell's decade-long quest to attain a rule of fasting in accordance with the traditional Orthodox Christian discipline resulted in her cookbook, When You Fast. The cookbook contains 200 recipes for easy, nourishing, and appealing fasting meals; sprinkled among the delicious recipes are sayings from the Mothers and Fathers of the early Church regarding how the body and soul are affected by eating habits. The PBS interview featured the Mandell family at their Clearfield, Pennsylvania dinner table, partaking of the lenten foods featured in Ms. Mandell's cookbook.

Watermelon producers, handlers and importers will vote in January on proposed changes to the Watermelon Research and Promotion Plan's importer eligibility requirements.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a scheduled a mail referendum Jan. 13-27 according to a news release from the agency.
The change would allow importer-handlers of watermelons to choose whether they would like to seek representation on the board as an importer or a handler. Currently, importer-handlers can be desginated as an importer on the board only if the majority of their watermelons are imported, according to the release.
To vote in the referendum, growers must have 10 acres or more of watermelons and importers must import 150,000 or more pounds of watermelons annually, according to the release.
Importers who handle less than 150,000 pounds of imported watermelons annually and did not apply for and receive reimbursements of assessments during the representative period also can vote, according to the release.
Eligible producers, handlers or importers who do not receive a ballot by Jan. 13 should contact the USDA at email@example.com.
The proposed amendment is available online.

Support the Gunners with the official Arsenal Home Authentic Shirt 2016-17- the exact playing shirt worn by the players at the Emirates Stadium and beyond and a jersey that draws inspiration from the men and moments that defined the club's transformative years of the 1990s.
The Nineties was a period highlighted by league, cup and European success, encompassing the heyday of Highbury heroes Ian Wright, Ray Parlour and Tony Adams and the arrival of Gunners giants Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry - not to mention manager Arsene Wenger, whose introduction in 1996 launched a new legacy that endures two decades later.
Retaining the club's classic red body and white sleeve combination, the 2016-17 Arsenal authentic home shirt alludes to a shirt style introduced in the Nineties, embellished by a central, faded tonal stripe.
This contemporary take on a classic Arsenal image is further characterised by a fresh and smart collar construction, with a consistent navy trim to the collar and sleeve cuffs alike.
The ACTV technology uses athletic tape on the inside of the garment to provide micro-massages in specific areas of the skin, which may help enable a faster and more effective energy supply to the muscles. The compression is intended to reduce muscle vibration during exercise and promote faster recovery for your next game. The powerCELL next-to-skin construction is designed to work with your body's natural systems to help you enhance and maximise your performance during and after exercise.

An individual belonging to the male species who incorrectly believes he is superior to females and consequently takes actions to suppress his female counterpart. Such individuals live in a fantasy world for if it wasn't for the female gender, kings would not exist. Male and females are equals.
It is absurd how some males live in a delusional world believing they are the better sex. Unbeknown to them, females are just as capable and worthy. By suppressing, controlling and engaging in sexist behaviors, these small populations of male supremacists are proving just the opposite truth. They are going against the notion of universal equality and are thus not the lower sex but the lower form of human.

Topic: PHOENIX ONC SURGEON CONV
Here is a report of our first day working the CC Foundation Booth. The anticipation we had of meeting Marion did not fall short of the actual meeting. She is as lovely inside as she is outside and this lady is on a MISSION, a mission to see that no one else succumbs to this monster. We definitely have an advocate warrior fighting for us all. I cannot begin to tell you the feelings of meeting someone from our CC family.
The feeling is so strong that I began to think how wonderful it would be for us to all meet one another.
I will report on the general feelings and will leave the scientific stuff to Marion because she is the pro. Believe me, she kept right up with what ever a doctor was talking about, I was just her side kick.
We also met David Windle a wonderful gentleman from Rio Rancho, NM.
Early on, we gave Teddy the job of "reeling" in the doctors so that Marion could do her interviews. Teddy did a great job, as Marion stated several times that they never had so many doctors give business cards and stop and chat like they did today.
We believe we hit the jackpot with some who want to get involved with our Family. This is big, real big. Again I will let Marion explain the medical parts.
This is a huge convention with doctors from all over the world.
One interesting side note is that a few did state that they believed liver flukes in Asia may have played a part in Viet Nam and Korea. It was conversation but really makes you think even more about that aspect of CC.
On to a shower and bed and to get ready for tomorrow when I hope we have the same success as today.

Hello all,
I ran across a jQuery slider that made significant accessibility improvements to the usual .slider() function ([see it here) and as I looked at the generated code, I saw really for the first time [url=http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria]ARIA](http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/update_jquery_ui_16_slider_from_a_select_element/) properties in use.
I haven't been paying attention to ARIA until now because its name implies it should be used for interactive stuff... which generally I don't work with. Often I can only see them on some page by viewing generated source, as they are added to widgets built by Javascript.
So I've been going through these [Editor's draft and pages like [url=http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/?p=106]Paciello group](http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/) to find out how to actually use these things, but it's slow going, esp. the Editor's Draft stuff. Authors may and may not do various things, but they don't really show me how, where and why. Sometimes there's a post at JuicyStudio that kinda helps, and many of these pages I can see how they are used in source (this is actually the main thing that helps, seeing the stuff in source), but I'm having trouble knowing what I should use for some particular situation.
Right now I've just added some roles to a few pages (arg the validators still don't recognise ARIA stuff bleh... have to use the HTML5 validator and I'm not writing HTML5), but for instance I have a sidebar that's specifically containing:-a search form (with a role of "search" on it)-a button (link) taking people somewhere else for more refined search (not sure what this page is yet, developer hasn't built it, but it'll likely be an elaborate form)-a sequence of h2's and unordered lists for various things, all related to the products specifically.
The rule of unchanging navigation is getting broken here: people choose a categorie and the sidebar on refresh now shows new options because of that categorie (will be shown in a breadcrumb though). Currently I was thinking of having a hidden header at the beginning of the h2's/ul's stating it's basically a product list. But I wondered if there's an aria attribute that does this as well, or one I should use somewhere to give a heads-up that the menu on the left has changed (I see this going on a lot in sites that sell a bazillion different categories of products). Trying to find out, esp for a static page (I mean, most aria things look like they are for applications and tools, which makes sense) is difficult. If I can see more actual code examples (I rely on these in the HTML and CSS specs, but there don't seem to be code examples in the Editor's Draft) it would be a big help.
Also any tips or experience using ARIA stuff in general would be helpful.
Thanks in advance
"Home". When you create a label, the label is sent to webvisum (they store it) so others logged in can access those same labels (or edit them or whatever). "Community tagging".
It's kinda wikipedia-esque. So it's got all those flaws, except random teenagers can't come in and label a link as "Joe Hanson is so gay" or whatever : )
And, I might have just lost my password, lawlz. Normally I never let browser addons remember my passwords, but this was the one. So it was sitting there automatically logging me in all the time but I couldn't actually remember what my password was so I requested a new one... and it hasn't been mailed yet, and the old one already won't work anymore. Stupid me.
If I get a new password in the mail, I should be able to give you an invite if you want. It does mean to use it you'll need a Mozilla browser.
The idea behind it is awesome: let the community free themselves as much as possible from the shackles of bad web authors. I'm a little worried that they seem to have moved over to a Wiki System for most of their links but haven't implemented it.
On the Orca mailing list they were discussing stuff Orca should and should not read out, and one guy said something like "that's what ARIA was created for". But ARIA, like general Good Web Authoring, relies on the author, and as we see as we look around us, most websites are written as steaming piles of nasty nasty codes. So long as browsers render garbage, authors don't have any reason to change how they write. Why let those using assistive devices dangle? The idea that they can make sites better themselves is appealing. Again with all the caveats and issues that may come with that.
Yes, JAWS 10+ is supposed to support landmarks. I was talking about standard keyboard navigation. From reading the ARIA Primer, it seemed as though you could jump around like you can with JAWS, but not using it. I am talking about users that do not use the mouse do to limited mobility, carpoltunnel, etc.
I am in the same boat as you. I am especially interested with the keyboard enhancements, but everything I have read has been like "you can add roles such as navigation to divs to allow people to jump straight there, which eliminates the use of skip nav links!" When I read that, I am like OMG, how?? I have not found any examples of that in use. Last week I read how because of ARIA we can do tabindex="-1". I only found that out due to a post by Jim Thatcher on the IE in-page link bug, which lead me to read about ARIA. I have known about ARIA for about 2 years, the only real usage I have known it for was the live region update notification for screen readers.
they read the page linearly.
with how much (how long) experience? I'm not sure how long I'd put up with using only the tab key before I gave up on the interwebs entirely. Quick-keys are easy to learn (there's usually only a handful of them) and are at the beginning of tuts/explanations. I consider my usage pretty newbish, but I use H and N and my SayAll on/off keys a lot. Orca's pretty cool in that, if you hit a block of links (like a navbar), Orca considers it one "line" and one down arrow and you're past them. Not sure how many Orca users there are compared to the Big 2/Windows or NVDA though.While my skip links can be used by reader n00bs, I've always considered them a smaller set of low-vision visitors than in general (I'm 99% sure I actually don't have a single low/no vision visitor to any of the sites I build for work, but...).
I finally ran across an article written by Gez for dev.opera.com which does finally make some sense, and links to some good stuff like Marco's blog at the bottom.
Since for example I'm already using for attributes on my labels matching my id's why would I use aria-labelledby? Marco's bloggy post shows an example where it would be very useful (what if label text is on both sides of the input?) which, it turned out, I have in some forms! I've already added them. Watch out, it will override your label's for attribute!The aria-required attribute also sounded like a much nicer deal than using title attributes on the inputs when I was restricted to little * marks everywhere.
If anyone else has run across nice ARIA explanations like these ones, with code examples and examples of when they would be useful, post them here.
Let's take your home example, you are from Netherlands, you speak Dutch natively I assume... wouldn't you label home whatever the word is in that language? Me not knowing Dutch would not get help by labels.
I hadn't thought of it really, when I'm visiting Dutch-language pages I would give them Dutch labels, when I'm visiting English-language pages I would give them English labels. I dunno if anyone has swapped languages. I'm sure the spelling's not so great though : )
lawl about lost pw, you should just use one password - Balmer (I think he said that)
shudder sounds like something a salesman would say. I used to use one password for everything but I've slowly been converting them over to uniques, so now only the occasional old thing ends up having an old password.
Anyway, I got a new one, could log in, let me know if you want an invite. Yeah it totally sucks that's it's Mozilla-only, and their reasoning for that was something like "it's the browser of the future" or some crap... bleh. I can understand it not working for IE, nobody wants to reverse-engineer IE (like the JAWS guys had to do), but the other browsers (except Opera) are open-source.
^^ARIA is for what?
The mail's been deleted : ( but the discussion was about what if a virtual buffer were added to Orca (it doesn't have one and seems better off without one but people wondered if it would speed up with one) and then someone said what about having Orca state when certain languages were in the document and then it went way off-track... and somewhere I said I would want to know when stuff like AJAX is going on on the page or if stuff's getting updated under my nose and someone else said that that was what ARIA was for (which is certainly one of the reasons it was created). I just wouldn't want to rely on it being there. If my browser or my reader can detect that there's stuff going on, I would personally want the option to have that announced to me.
I really think ARIA has GREAT intentions, but has too much happening, they have roles that are similar so people aren't sure which to use. I saw somewhere where it seemed to say links should have roles too. Ok I would say that is too far and pushing too much onto a dev.
Yes. So far I've only been using landmark roles because they're announced right away on page load and it can be a nice way to get to a section of page content based on what it is whether there's a skip link or not (as a developer I have a difficult time with skip links, because some browsers won't bring your focus down to the area unless you have a focusable destination! Meaning I have a lot of empty anchors playing "destination" and I don't use "name" attributes (because of how I originally learned XHMTL) so they have id's... I would just jump to some id'd box if I could but I don't like how not everyone acts the same).
So, I still have skip links, but if something else can work better, I'd like to add it. I have used a little bit of aria-labelledby for labels with units on the ends like in Marco's blog (that's just awesome) but yeah, you could label just about everything and usually this means adding id's to stuff who don't have id's.
So I haven't been using stuff like aria-labelledby for plain label-input pairs, because I'm already using for with the input id anyway, and ARIA overrides that. Meaning, adding id's to the labels. Starts turning into code bloat real fast.
What kinds of roles did they want for links? I've been using titles for example to warn that a link opens a PDF (and I state the size and pages), or goes to another site (off-site external links) if the link is just sitting in the middle of content and it would be unexpected, so I wonder if these roles were meant to take care of these?
I have built more than one form where the client wanted people to download some kind of file in the middle of it. I don't like the idea of other stuff in forms, but if I have to have them in the middle of a form, anything that helps make clearer what's going on is something I'm interested in.
That aria-required is just so nice. The old crusties might know "star" usually means "required" but anyone new to the web or web forms, that has little meaning.
But I think the most use of ARIA is meant for all the jQuery-type stuff going on everywhere and AJAX messing with page content. If some web author is going to insist visitors must drag-n-drop (arg), then ARIA can make that actually possible by keyboard users with a11y software (too bad it can't do much for plain keyboard users).
I haven't used firefox really in months, it got too bloaty... I use chrome mainly.
The idea behind it is awesome, I wonder how much or if it get abused...
On the Orca mailing list they were discussing stuff Orca should and should not read out, and one guy said something like "that's what ARIA was created for".

I am moderately interested about the link labeling. I am concerned about whos labels persist. Say i cannot say home, so I label it root. you visit the site, you're like how dumb and make it home. When I come back will it be root or home?
I heard of webvisum, I am kind of skeptical about the plugin. If I was a spam bot creator, I could grab that to get past things like Craig's List.
How long did users keep sticking to the tab or arrow keys?
Depends on the user. Then again as a responsible consultant, I would suggest the best thing for them. If the person doesn't have speech impediments, I would suggst using Dragon Naturally Speaking instead.
In my experience, unless the user is at higher level of using the screen reader, they read the page linearly.
Ah, I see what you mean. I didn't have that idea, because ARIA attributes were made to talk to a11y software, so as far as I know there's no special keyboard attributes (unless you use javascript with neg tabindex).
Skip links I'm still putting in, as usual, for sighted keyboarders. Screen reader users beyond real basic stages could always get around without them if the page is well-written.
Webvisum is awesome. All those crappy sites using images for menu items? You can label them with appropriate text after you know where the link takes you. Anyone else with WebVisum has access to that label, and they can edit yours if there's a better name.
The CAPTCHA thing I use myself. I suck at captchas. However it cannot do them all.
You can't just sign up for webvisum. To help keep spammers out, it's invite-based. You can also report someone if they spam with a bot. If I were a spammer, I'd just use a mechanical turk anyway. People answer a short question for free pr0n or whatever.
Oh, I should jump in an give it a try then.I wish webvisum wasn't a Mozilla-only plugin : (
BTW my question about experience wasn't about yours, but I meant users. How long did users keep sticking to the tab or arrow keys? I'd die.
I use Opera off and on. Without getting personal, I basically don't like the hotkey layout to use it a lot. I have been navigating websites via keyboard almost since I got online in 95/96, so I just know what works.
JAWS and Opera play better and better with every version...
Oh, I'm surprised you don't use Opera then.
While I can never ever keep the keys straight (I have to look it up every single time arg), if I always only navigated with keyboard I'd prolly always use Opera.
though I can't use Opera with Orca and I'm scared to try it with JAWS, lawlz.
I have been working in AT for about 7 years. I know people who have used JAWS since it came out to people who have not used a screen reader until I showed them moments prior. Being a person who navigates the computer via keyboard about 85%+ of the time, I have to rely on the tab key. Newer browsers allow carrot navigation, and i can cheat a little there, but nnot many people know about that.
The tabindex thing I haven't used yet, though if I'd known about it back in the days when I asked questions like "Can I put an onClick event on a non-focusable thingie??" and everyone was like, yes, the JS specs say any element can have CLICK, and I was like but how do you click on something if you can't focus on it?? Negative tabindex, lawlz. Wish I'd known.
I know you can navigate using the landmark roles in Orca, but I suck using Orca. I think tomorrow I'll add a few more roles to a page I'm working on and browse around in JAWS... I've got version 10 which supports roles.
When this jQuery slider-thingie is done I'm going to take a listen and see if I can figure out how to use them (the sliders)! And will report them back here. I'm using the one from Filament Group.

Christopher Campbell A406 Beauty and Apocalypse on the North Circular Road
Acerca del libro
In Christopher Campbell's new paintings, the suburban idyll is blasted. The young London-based realist casts his eye over the semi-detached Mock-Tudor facades of the houses that fringe the North Circular, and records how they have borne the brunt of the explosive expansion of the 21st century metropolis. These clichés of 1930s domestic comfort have become architectural road-kill, left to rot beside the A406, as the traffic grinds by.
Bay windows are breeze-blocked. Gunmetal grey steel sheets make a sealed tomb of what was once a home. Occasionally an occupied house, with neat nets and a Sky dish, hangs on to gentility for dear life, chocked on all sides by decay and pollution. As the title of one painting encapsulates, this is a Sorry State of Affairs.
Yet Campbell, described by the Independent as 'obsessed with light, but not as we know it', discovers beauty and drama amongst the rot. With all this kerbside dereliction come the multifarious colours of clouds and the vivid spray of graffiti. In scrupulously crafted oils, the series embraces night studies in the key of blue, the murky damp of late afternoon and incandescent morning skies tinged with violet.
As the artist says 'These paintings are about truth in a compositional sense, yet are intertwined with a fictional narrative'. In their catastrophic abandonment, Campbell has found in these houses the spirit of the romantic and the lovelorn.
Born in 1975, Campbell studied Fine Art at Leeds Metropolitan University. Graduating in 1998, he has exhibited in both public and commercial galleries as well as art fairs in the UK and the USA. This exhibition follows two previous successes for Christopher Campbell at StART SPACE: Day of the Triffids in 2006 and Epoch in 2007.
