Panhandlers Dressed as Monks Confound New Yorkers
NYC has a wannabe monk problem:
The men appear to be Buddhist monks; a smaller number of similarly dressed women say they are Taoist nuns.
No one seems to know who they really are or where they come from. The police have taken no official stance, stepping in only when the monks become aggressive. Various Buddhists have confronted the men, asking about their affiliation or quizzing them about the religion's precepts. The men remain silent or simply walk away.
Their presence has become ubiquitous — so much so that the Naked Cowboy, the Times Square performer whose real name is Robert Burck, now simply refers to them as "co-workers."
"They're littered all over," he said.

In the scene where Kat sneaks back into bed with Benjamin, there is a goof with her boot; he hands her the boot, saying that he knew she'd be back. Kat tosses it over the side of the bed, but when the camera angle changes, the boot is back, sitting on the covers in front of her. The camera angle changes again, and the boot is gone; it goes back to the second angle, and the boot reappears.
Ethan: You could still go over there.
Kat: What, I just snuck out.
Ethan: Well, sneak back in.
Kat: You can do that?
Ethan: Yeah, but you've gotta get over there before he wakes up!
(Kat walks towards her apartment Ethan walks out of Palmer's again)
Kat: God, do you run every morning?
Ethan: Pretty much.
Kat: Why does that make me want to have a cigarette?
Ethan: (He smiles and looks at her foot) So... at least you're sneaking home with both boots this time.
Kat: (smiles) No, not sneaking. He stayed here last night. I just ran out to get us some coffee. And by "ran" I mean "I got into my car and I drove two blocks."
Richie: (to Lina) Why are you smiling?
Lina: We're having our first fight!
Richie: Yeah, we are!
Lina: That's like, a relationship mile stone.
Richie: (in awe) Is it?
Lina: (excitedly) Totally! This is even more than our first dinner party!
Richie: I guess! So... what do we do now, do we have to finish it?
Lina: I think we should, 'cause uh, we kinda need to get through it to get to the... make up sex.
Richie: Hmm.
(They immediately start fighting again)
(Kat's walking towards her apartment with just one boot and Ethan walks out of Palmer's)
Ethan: Morning.
Kat: You're up early.
Ethan: Just going for a run.
Kat: You know, you die either way.
(Ethan frowns)
(Palmer walks out too)
Palmer: (to Ethan) I thought I heard voices! (She sees Kat) Hey, early bird!
Kat: Hey. Worm.
Nicole: (to Duncan, about the hot dog he's eating) Did you get peppers on it?
Duncan: Uhuh.
Nicole: Sweet or hot?
Duncan: Both.
Nicole: Ohhh, I like it sweet and hot! Okay, I need it, I need it right now, get over here! HURRY!
Kat: (to Benjamin, after they kiss, pointing to his pants) You need a minute?
Benjamin: That's my cellphone.
Kat: Oh. Then I'm kinda of embarrassed for what I was doing to it.
Yonk: Sugar, we're out of here. You have fun at your little dinner party.
Nicole: Okay. And I want you to have fun too. But remember, healthy choices.
Yonk: Oh come on, I mean we're going to a steakhouse! I beat Jerry at pool, he has to buy me steak.
Nicole: Well, I'm sure he wouldn't mind buying you a nice piece of salmon.
Jerry Rice: I'll be happy to buy the little lady a salmon.
Yonk: Man...I'm never gonna hear the end of it.
Nicole: No that's not true. Jerry, please! This is about my husband's health.
Jerry Rice: I'm sorry.
Nicole: Thank you.
Jerry Rice:(to Yonk) Now remember, this one is on me. So you don't have to bring your purse.
Ethan:(about the pictures Kat took of Benjamin when she was stalking him) So, I assume you haven't shown [Benjamin] these.
Kat: Dude, I'm creepy, I'm not stupid.
(Duncan's phone rings; he answers it; it is Nicole)
Duncan: Hello?
Nicole: Hey, you left your cell phone at my house.
Duncan: Oh, thank God, when I saw my name on the caller ID, I thought it was like me calling from the future. So wha'cha doin'?
Nicole: Just eating a stupid salad. Almost makes me wish I'd eaten that chicken at Lina's.
Duncan: Woman, you do not know what you're saying.
(Duncan is talking to Jerry Rice; his phone rings)
Duncan: Sorry, it's my mom. She's not going to believe who I'm talking to. (he answers the phone) Ma, guess who I'm with. (he hands the phone to Jerry Rice) If you could just say hi.
Jerry Rice: How you doing?
Duncan: Guess who that was! No, no, no, why are you guessing dead people? (to Rice) Just tell her who you are.
Jerry Rice: I'm Jerry Rice. No, that's not a hint. (to Duncan) She's still guessing.
Duncan: Hey, whose Ferrari is in the driveway?
Nicole: Oh, it's Jerry Rice's. He and Yonk are working on some speech for a charity thing they're doing.
Duncan: Hold on, Jerry Rice is here?
Nicole: Yeah.
Duncan: So you and I are under the same roof as Jerry Rice?
Nicole: Yes.
Duncan: So, like, if this place fell down on us, then I would be trapped under the same rubble as Jerry Rice?
Nicole: Yeah, but they'd probably rescue him first.
Duncan: I would want them too!
Lina: Can we borrow your coffee maker?
Kat: Okay.
Lina: Don't you wanna know why?
Kat: Well, I'm sure it's a gripping tale.
(Lina is serving her dish)
Nicole: Is there cream in it?
Lina: A little bit.
Nicole: Oh shoot, Yonk and I are on these strict diets, I'm sorry.
Lina: Oh, No, No, No, No, it's OK. Duncan, more for you.
(Duncan looks at Nicole with an evil look)
Lina: Duncan, you're a big guy so you get a big piece.
Duncan: It's not my fault I'm big. What is this orange thing?
Lina: It's a kind of sweet potato, it's a North African tuber.
Ethan: There's tumors in this?
Lina: No, tuber, like a yam.
Ethan: Oh. Tumors made sense.
Nicole: Oh great, also if you're going to throw the rest of it out, when you put it in the garbage can you make sure it touches other garbage.
Richie: What?
Nicole: Well yeah 'cos if I'm lying in bed tonight and I know that there's pizza that's in the garbage that's only touched the box, I'M GONNA EAT THAT SON OF A BI**H!!!
Nicole: (To Richie and Duncan) If I have a craving for a french fry, I can just reach for a carrot stick, it's like a healthy french fry that makes you mad.
Nicole: Yonk and I are on this really strict diet. His cholesterol is up to almost 400.
Duncan: Is that high?
Richie: Not for a couple.
(after getting Lina's Moroccan chicken)
Palmer: What am I tasting?
Ethan: Ahm. Tires a la Socks.
Kat: (To Benjamin) Did she say Moroccan chicken or Morotten chicken?
Duncan: (To Benjamin) This is so cool. I met two famous people in the same day. Jerry Rice and whoever you are.
(Duncan and Nicole are eating food; Nicole eats like she's mad; Yonk catches them)
Yonk: Oh my God!
Nicole: (while chewing) I can explain.
Yonk: In my own house?
Nicole: This isn't what it looks like. (still chewing)
(Duncan and Richie are eating pizza, Nicole enters the house)
Nicole: Hey guys! Oh, pizza!
Duncan: Yeah, it's from that new place in Villanova. They've got extra cheese in the crust.
Nicole: Oh that's great. Could you get it the hell out of here?
Richie: (on how bad Lina's moroccan chicken tasted) It was the Hitler of all chicken!
(After Palmer leaves)
Ethan: So, so he wants to take you to Morocco and you want to go.
Kat: Yeah.
(Ethan touches his chin, pretending to be thoughtful)
Ethan: I can see why you're so upset...
Kat: Just because you want Morocco, doesn't mean you get Morocco.
(Ethan frowns)
Kat: Let's be realistic, something's gonna screw this up, so I don't wanna set myself up for Morocco if it's never gonna happen.
Ethan: Well, I can guarantee you it's never gonna happen.
Kat: Why?
Ethan: Why?? You sneak out on the guy in the middle of the night? It kinda sends a message.
(Kat closes her eyes and sits down on the floor, in front of her door, defeated)
Kat: God, I'm so messed up.
Ethan: You really are.
(Kat glares at him, then stares at the ceiling)
Kat: I just... I just don't want to be Lina.
Ethan: What do you mean?
Kat: She's always like "Oh, I'm so in love, he's the one!" and then two weeks later her heart is getting its ass kicked.
Ethan: Yeah, I don't know if you've noticed, but... your sister's heart is doing just fine. I mean, she had to go through some stuff, but it seems worth it. She's with a guy who loves her, even though she does unspeakable things to chicken.
Kat: Yeah, I guess...
(They stay in silence for a moment)
Ethan: (Watching her) I want you to have Morocco.
Kat: (Looks at him) Why do you care?
Ethan: I... care.

October 14, 2008
As the NBA preseason marches on, Ball Don't Lie looks at all 30 teams, outlining off-season transactions, projecting win totals, spinning tracks, and much, much more. It's a fun, hot mess. Today, the Washington Wizards.
Last Season: 43-39; lost in first round of playoffs to LeBron
Key Players Added: Dee Brown (no, not that one), Juan Dixon (free agent), JaVale McGee (draft)
Key Players Lost: Roger Mason Jr. (signed with Spurs, became regular BDL reader)
Kelly Dwyer's Endless Grey Ribbon: There are so many ways to, as the kids say, not feel the Washington Wizards.
And that's a shame, because more than just about any other NBA team, there are so many ways to appreciate this team and there are just as many reasons to want it to succeed. But at some point, things are going to catch up to the Wizards, and I have a feeling that this is the year of le comeuppance.
First, a pair of reasons to dig:
1. These guys never pack it in.
Sorry to sound like a gym coach, but this crew doesn't give up on much. Injuries should have destroyed this team last year, but they responded by slowing the pace, working everything (EVERYTHING) through Caron Butler when he was healthy, and improving their defense up to the ranks of "pretty crappy" from the levels of "nearly league-worst horrid" that things worked at in 2006-07.
That last part was not a backhanded compliment. That's what won them games. You don't have to be world-beaters to be making strides.
2. They're silly, and don't mind being silly on the record.
As Steinz done found out, this team truly is unlike any other NBA outfit when it comes to, well, their outfits, and a goofball mentality that thus far hasn't been a hindrance to the team's work ethic and drive. And by writing "thus far," I'm not trying to hint that this candid approach will be a mitigating factor at some point. It won't.
There are others, but you likely want to know about the 34 wins, first.
The Wizards are thin, thinner than they were last year, and getting older in all the wrong places. In an improved Eastern Conference, that will be enough to drag things down.
This was a sub-.500 team last year in terms of Pyth that got lucky in a few close games and finished with 43 wins. It also took in one last gasp of a season from Antonio Daniels, it got over 70 games from eight of its rotation players, and a career year from Brendan Haywood that (if NBA history is any indication, and it almost always is) he was not likely to duplicate even before the wrist injury that could put him on the shelf until March.
So when you counter Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler missed 93 games last year, and that things should be different this year … yeah, that doesn't quite cut it. For one, Arenas is going to miss about 30 games at the bare minimum this season, and expecting him to roll out of rehab dropping 20 a night on that willowy knee seems a bit much.
Secondly, there's nothing in Butler's past that tells us he'll be around for the whole season, as he's missed an average of 12 games per year over his career. And that doesn't count his wasted second season, when he limped around for 68 games, had no lift, shot 38 percent, and scored 6.2 fewer points per game than he did in his rookie campaign.
Then you have to look at the depth behind these guys. Daniels could never shoot, he's always had to rely on athleticism, and I'm not seeing much of that from AD anymore. Nick Young is only 23 and will get better, but not enough to make up for Daniels' dropoff, or the absence of Roger Mason Jr.'s long range touch and ability to sop up minutes (think of a workhorse middle reliever on a team that has a staff that can barely make it through four innings, and then take the reliever away).
DeShawn Stevenson can only do so much. DeShawn doesn't create shots, he's a poor rebounder, and though he can handle the ball in a pinch, the Wizards will be pinched more than Stevenson will like. He should maintain or even slightly improve upon his 2007-08 turn, but again, that's not enough to counter what was essentially a Roger Mason Jr.-for-Juan Dixon swap, and Daniels' drop off.
So, the team will have to rely on Antawn Jamison more, righto? Yes, but this probably isn't the best thing. Jamison had a great season last year, but 32-year olds tend to drop off at some point. If Jamison nearly approximates what he put together in 2007-08 during this season, Wizards fans should be giddy. I'm not convinced they're going to get to that point.
And what of the team's batch of lithe, young forwards who like to shoot and score and score and shoot and remind anyone who is listening that "I'm only 22" or 23 or 20? They're fun to watch, and they will help, but will their presence be enough to make up for all these holes? Can they run the point? Can they ably spell for Jamison if he picks up two quick ones and has to sit until late in the second quarter? Can they hold their own in the paint playing along a way-undersized center in Etan Thomas?
Andray Blatche will be great, and I'd be tempted to play him more minutes than Thomas if his rate of fouls wasn't so incredibly high, but JaVale McGee needs a while, Dominic McGuire is about a hundred times worse than people think, and Oleksiy Pecherov is going to Stanislav Medvedenko his way right out of the league if he doesn't chill from the top of the key.
What we have is a tough team with some nice parts that just can't be counted on to have every single thing go right … again.
Wiz fans might not like me saying something like that, but nearly every single thing went right for the Wizards last year in the wake of Gilbert's injury, and that's a context the followers are going to have to accept now. Gilbert's injury woes have long ceased to be a bit of bad luck, rather, they need to be the accepted reality. And in the wake of his knee issues last year, everything fell into place.
I just don't see Washington catching lightning in a bottle again. Not with that roster. Not in this Conference.
Expected record: 34-48
Oleksiy Pecherov's Homemade Screen Saver:
Real Talk, Blog Talk (aka excerpts from other blogger team previews):
The Recliner GM: "Same team, same results right? Well, kind of. The Wiz will be as good as they were last season which will be good enough to get into the playoffs again. On the other hand the Eastern Conference is much better, and their lack of improvement pushes them down the rankings in my book. Washington has the "big three" most people seem to think is necessary to win a championship in the NBA. Ultimately I don't think they have the right, or good enough, role players to get to the next level. Which is out of the first round and into real conference title contention."
Mike Moreau, HOOPSWORLD: "The Coach's Take: Please, no more blogs, rappers and silly hand gestures. It's time for us to grow up and get serious about being a contender. We can beat anybody on any given night, but Caron, Gilbert and Antawn must carry us with consistency. The supporting cast must help us get it done on the defensive end. There is a toughness we must develop over the course of the regular season, and that development and better defense is the only way we will get out of the first round of the playoffs. The return of Etan Thomas will help in both areas."
Dime: "Let's assume everyone is healthy and ready to go come playoff time. Even then, if you put the Wizards up against the top four teams in the East — Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, Orlando — would they prevail in a seven-game series where they don't have home court advantage? Arenas, Butler and Jamison are good for 60 points a night between them, and defensively the Wizards are better than they get credit for (middle-of-the-pack compared to the rest of the NBA), but after the Big Three, this squad isn't very deep. Even with the additions of McGee and Thomas, their center situation is one of the worst in the East considering Brendan Haywood is the headliner. A lot depends on the continued development of youngsters Nick Young, Dominic McGuire, Andray Blatche, Oleksiy Pecherov and McGee, and they're just not ready yet (or mature enough) to be the kind of supporting cast you need for a contending team."

A message that spread via the Internet from the principal of a suburban Tokyo high school urging graduating students to appreciate their lives and help the country recover from the March 11 catastrophe has inspired readers around the country, including disaster survivors.
The message by Kenji Watanabe, head of the private Rikkyo Niiza Junior and Senior High School in Niiza, Saitama Prefecture, received considerable publicity after it was posted on the school's website and spread via social-networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
His strong, positive words and compassion for others has struck a chord.
Watanabe, who took up his post at the all-boys school in August, stresses the wonder and beauty of life, but also calls on them to realize how privileged most of them are: many will automatically go on to St. Paul's University, which is affiliated with the high school.
The message was intended as a commencement speech for a ceremony that had been scheduled for March 14. It was posted on the school website later in the month after the event was cancelled because of fears of postquake blackouts triggered by the crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
"I wanted to tell my students to have a full appreciation for life as they walk out of the school into a bright and promising future, but wanted them to remember well that they are graduating at the time of a disaster," when many people are still suffering, he said. "That is why I repeatedly told them to do some soul-searching during their college life and look reality in the face."
A 66-year-old scholar in Japanese literature and professor emeritus of St. Paul's University in Tokyo, Watanabe wrote his speech in an exhortatory style. His at times old-fashioned, poetic idiom appears to have captured readers' imaginations.
In apparent reference to the tsunami that ravaged the Tohoku region, Watanabe peppered his speech with words such as "ocean" and "storm," words symbolic of the difficulties the nation — and the students — may face in the course of their soul-searching.
He urges the students not to "forget this time of graduation, which came at the time of disasters," and to struggle against obstacles or sadness they may encounter, no matter how daunting these may be.
"In the message, I liked the part where he calls on us to become the leaders of Japan's reconstruction," said Yusuke Tanaka, a graduate of the high school. "These words really inspired me as I have stepped into a new world at the university."
A female graduate of St. Paul's University, whose house in Sendai was destroyed on March 11, sent an email to Watanabe, saying that she was able to "sort out her feelings" after reading his message.
Hajime Akiyama, a March graduate of the boys' school, said, "His words were deeply implanted in my heart. Now I'm thinking what I can do for others, every day."

That makes sense, but what about trademarks? From the articles it sounds like this applies to trademarks as well, so cars, iPhones, and pretty much all goods with a trademark would be affected. For example, Harry mentioned that there are already limits on athletic shoes in the U.K.
As I'm rereading the articles, it sounds to me that if I buy a product overseas then First Sell doctrine doesn't apply to me. If I buy the product in the U.S. then I do maintain the rights of First Sell. However, this leads to gray areas such as, do I have the right of First Sell if I buy something in the U.S. but unknown to me the person I bought it from imported it and didn't have the right of First Sell.
More importantly, why should it matter? If I buy something, it is mine. It shouldn't matter if I bought it in Thailand or Texas. Unless I was required to sign some agreement that I wouldn't resell the item I bought then it should be mine to do with as I please. Of course, in the case of books, I own a copy of that book and not the right to the text and thoughts, so I can't make copies of it and sell it, but reselling the copy (the actual book) that I bought should be my right. Otherwise, I don't really own the item that I bought.

Washington State Legislature Passes Capital Budget Appropriation for Energy Efficiency Grants
The Washington State Legislature passed a capital budget appropriation (April 2012) that contains $1.1 billion in infrastructure investment spending designed to stimulate the lagging construction trades jobs picture in the state. This hard fought victory was championed by Rep. Hans Dunshee. Within this large capital budget, there are dedicated funds to provide energy efficiency grants for public sector building energy retrofits. Those dollars include;
Energy Efficiency Grants for Higher Education - $20 millionEnergy Efficiency Grants for Local Governments - $18 millionEnergy Efficiency Grants for K‐12 Schools - $40 millionFinancing Energy/Water Efficiency - $5 million

But during the Six Nations, England managed seven tries with Ben Foden the only member of the back three to cross the whitewash.
And Catt is relishing the opportunity to let the likes of Foden, Chris Ashton and David Strettle lose on the 2007 world champions.
"[England] defended for their lives in the Six ¬Nations, which showed their commitment to each other and the nation. That's what you must have in Test rugby," Catt told the Mirror.
"England proved they have the defence, the culture, the kicking-game and the hunger. But now it's time to move things forward in the area of attack.
"I'm coming in to tweak a few things in terms of ¬showing what we can do when we have quick ball and the initiative.
"Let's see what we can achieve when the likes of Ben Foden, Chris Ashton, Manu Tuilagi and David Strettle have possession.
"I want to see what they can really do when we win turnover ball and can cut loose.
"I want to see the mindset that says 'we are in charge and we are going to cause you problems.' I want to see that confidence."

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Matt Harrison knows he'll be in the minors this season. Still, he's thrilled about getting the chance to throw the opening pitch of spring training for the Atlanta Braves.
One of the team's top prospects, the 21-year-old Harrison will work the first two innings when the Braves play Georgia Tech on Wednesday.
He'll be followed to the mound by Jose Ascaino and Kevin Barry, who also are scheduled to work two innings apiece. Anthony Lerew, Jonathan Johnson and Joey Devine will finish up, going one inning each against the Yellow Jackets.
"It's pretty exciting," said Harrison, who got the news from pitching coach Roger McDowell. "To start the first game of your first big-league camp is awesome. I'm glad they've got enough confidence to let me do that."
The 6-foot-5 left-hander pitched last season at Class A Myrtle Beach and Double-A Mississippi, combining to go 11-8 with a 3.35 ERA. Just as impressive, he had 114 strikeouts and only 33 walks in 158 2-3 innings.
"He doesn't walk anybody," manager Bobby Cox said. "For a young lefty, that's big."
Harrison is hoping to start this season at Triple-A Richmond, just one step below the majors.
"It's definitely a chance to show them what I've got," Harrison said. "I'm sure I'll be pretty pumped up pitching in front of Bobby and all those guys. I've got to stay under control. I can't try to blow it by everybody."
Hampton update
Mike Hampton reported some normal soreness Sunday, a day after throwing off the mound for the second time this spring.
The left-hander, coming off major elbow surgery that kept him out all of last season, hopes to throw some breaking pitches during his next stint on Tuesday.
"I've still got a ways to go," Hampton said. "I'm battling it. It seems to be getting a little better here and there."
He won't be ready for the start of Grapefruit League games on Thursday, but hopes to be far enough along to make the 25-man roster for opening day.
"That's the plan," Hampton said. "I really can't look that far ahead and give you an honest answer. But I think I have a good shot to be ready."
Impressive Escobar
Cox spent his day on the back fields, where he paid close attention to infield prospect Yunel Escobar.
Cox liked what he saw.
"Escobar really stood out," Cox said. "Everybody in the world wants him right now."
The 24-year-old Cuban native was mentioned prominently in trade talks over the winter, but nothing worked out. He batted .264 with two homers and 45 RBIs at Double-A Mississippi last season.
This and that
Still no sign of IF Willy Aybar. He has yet to arrive at camp because of visa problems in the Dominican Republic, though the Braves are hoping he will show up sometime this week. ... Cox likes the work ethic of non-roster IF Willy Harris, who hopes to make the roster as a backup after playing 47 games for the Boston Red Sox last season.

ISO 14755 is a fallback character entry system. It is NOT intended to be
used for the characters that everyone needs frequently. It is intended
to guarantee you access to ALL Unicode characters, including those that
are not even in the font of your system.
There is a trade-off between friendliness for new naive users and
high-performance usability by expert users who to all day long nothing
but using your software and who couldn't care less about fancy slow
pull-down menus and mouse activated functions if the same functionality
is also available within a few hundred milliseconds via a fixed keyboard
I absolutely require that I am able to access any Unicode key on any
Unicode capable keyboard using the exact same simple hex entry method. I
know a whole range of characters by hex values, and even more are
sticking with a post-it note on the wall behind my terminal. It is
unacceptable for me to go through long-winded mouse and cursor based
menu selection schemes to select my mathematical characters, because
this takes me several seconds, while hex entry takes me typically less
than around 1200 ms if I have to enter the character frequently (say a
rare special mathematical operator that I happen to use in my paper
frequently). mouse and cursor based character selection should certainly
be there (and ISO 14755 has also a section about that!), but it must not
be the only option to enter rare characters that some users might
occasionally need more frequently temporarily.
I highly appreciate the existence of ISO 14755 and I hope that it or
comparable mechanisms will be very widely implemented. The MS-DOS
ALT-123 character entry method was very widely known and heavily used by
many professional typists in preference over any slow interactive
alternatives. I expect that the same will happen for ISO 14755.
Will Unicode 3.0 contain a summary of ISO 14755?

Kalyani: Ogba Kalu scored a brace as a rejuvenated Sporting Clube de Goa thrashed Prayag United SC 3-1 in an I-League match in Kalyani, on Saturday.
Full points from this game, though, don't push them up the table as Sporting Clube are still placed 12th in the standings.
For United SC, they seem to be plummeting down and down with as many as five defeats from six matches.
Kalu gave Sporting Clube the lead in the fifth minute, converting from a spot-kick. The referee was quick to award the visitors with a penalty after United SC goalkeeper Subrata Paul brought down a goal-bound Joseph Pereira inside the box.
Ranty Martins, the sole bright spot of United SC, equalised 10 minutes later when he slotted home a rebound, resulting after Sporting Clube goalie Ashok Singh blocked Lalkamal Bhowmick's attempt.

i am learning jquery at this time. wanna get another book to learn more advance web development through jquery. which one should i get
Jquery UI
Jquery Mobile
are they both very much different from each other? i know UI is for creating interface and mobile for mobile web development but the thing i wanna ask is that are they both very much different in learning from each other.
please advice.
Hi moneysharma,
This reply is taken from StackOverflow.I was going to paraphrase it, but it is pretty comprehensive, so I just thought I'd post it as is:
jQuery is a JavaScript framework designed to allow developers to literally "write less, do more", the 3 different flavours you are asking about, do very different things.
First up jQuery is the core library which contains the main functionality of the framework, so if you want to make an element fade in, you would include jQuery on your page, and then call the fadeIn() function on one of your elements.
jQuery UI was created with user-interface elements and interactions in mind that generally require a lot of code to manipulate otherwise. So the library contains things like the ability to drag and drop elements, and get useful information from those interactions. But at the same time there is a focus on the look and feel, therefore there are all sorts of themes available to style these powerful UI elements in this library.
jQuery mobile is a powerful framework built on top of jQuery and jQuery UI designed specifically for the mobile platform - after all the functionality of things like drag and drop needs to be rethought for touch screens, as does core functionality such as "hovering" which simply doesn't exist on mobile.
All together the frameworks can be used to enhance the usability of a site, and really save developers a lot of time. To learn more about the framework visit http://www.learningjquery.com/ - a great resource for getting started.
Plugins allow web developers to take the solution to their problem and create a separate file to store it in. They can then share that with everyone else so that they can do the same. So if someone builds a gallery feature for a site they made, making a plugin would allow them to easily reuse the code, and help others facing the same problem.

I recently acquired Adobe Illustrator because I wanted to start doing some pdf patterns and digital illustrations and what-nots, so I was playing around with it last night for the first time. Ok, so it was a little challenging at first, I won't lie, but once I got the hang of it (a little) it was so much fun! This is my first drawing ever in illustrator and I can't wait to do more things. Have you tried using an illustration program? What do you think?

GNC a Speculative Short
Vitamin supplement retailer GNC Holdings (GNC) has been trading in a wide consolidation channel for the last four months. It has failed to retake the upper end of the channel this month and looks like it is preparing to retest the lower end and its 200-day moving average. On Aug. 16, Deutsche Bank downgraded GNC to a Hold and cited "aggressive" insider selling by it chief executive officer and this month the CEO sold an additional 50,000 shares at $40.51 per share. There is a 13.6% short interest in the stock.
The first daily chart shows the sideways consolidation, which has reverted around the 50-day moving average. During this period stochastics has accurately measured oversold and overbought levels and is currently moving out of its overbought zone. The moving average convergence/divergence indicators reflect the weekly and daily timeframes and both are in bearish divergence to price. Volume is weak and, while Chaikin money flow is positive and above its 21-period average, the Chaikin oscillator, a faster measure of money flow, is crossing below its 21-period signal line....151 more words left in this article.

The bear may be the polar poster child, but in your hunt for the king of the Arctic, dont overlook the other wildlife that shares his frozen kingdom. The great caribou migration is a chilly version of the Serengeti, while the impossibly huge walrus, with metre-long tusks, is an astonishing sight. Arctic foxes are adorable balls of fluff, and narwhals are an eerie sight in the icy seas.
Navigating these waters is possible for just a few months each year. The wilderness islands include the Wrangel Nature Reserve, whose mammoth steppe vegetation is filled with strange endemic flora. Visit the remains of a 3,400 year old Eskimo camp, and look for grey whales, polar bears, musk oxen and Pacific walrus. Brown bears and smoking volcanoes can be seen along the Kamchatka Peninsula.
People spend so much time thinking about whats surrounding the boat that they rarely consider what is on it. The rapport with other passengers particularly on smaller ships, is often a trip highlight. You can share stories and adventures, have photography competitions and meet likeminded expeditioners from around the world. The vessel is all part of the voyage.
You might think that being on a boat for a fortnight would leave you living off uninspiring rations or facing the quantity over quality cruise ship approach. But this is a high-end holiday with high-end cuisine to match. You need good food in a cold climate, and restaurants serve an excellent variety of dishes. More luxurious vessels have three course meals and extensive wine lists.
Top of the Arctic cruise bucket list, the earths largest land predators is certainly deserving of the acclaim. Look out for them on ice floes, peering for seals beneath the breathing holes, or leading their cubs from their winter dens across to the sea ice. Onboard lectures explore the life of the polar bear youll learn about its life cycle and how such a huge creature can survive in such an inhospitable landscape.
Canada is the place to go for Inuit art. Always a creative culture, the Inuit traditionally used bone, ivory and antlers for their carvings. Soapstone and serpentine are now common, although hand carving is still the preferred method. Prints, baskets textiles, painting and wall hangings are superb, and buying items ensures the traditions are taught to future generations as well as providing much-needed income.
Far beyond the Arctic Circle, this archipelago is the stuff of icy legend. Walrus and auks, reindeer and bearded seals, foxes and some 2,000 polar bears inhabit the snowy shores and mountains meaning theres more bears than people! Spitsbergen, the largest island, has glaciers and fjords to explore. Trek across flowering, windswept tundra, visit the polar research station and try your hand at dog sledding.
Enormous, frozen Baffin Island is a haven for Arctic wildlife, including walrus, seals, polar bears and huge colonies of seabirds. Sail past glaciers, fjords and Arctic plant life, looking out for rare bowhead whales. Meet the Inuit inhabitants of tiny Kimmirut, who live a traditional lifestyle and create wonderful carvings and drawings. You may also hear their unusual throat singing.
While bases in the Antarctic are well established relics of an old way of life, those in the Arctic are remnants of ephemeral, temporary campsites, a hut and a few whale bones in the bleak middle of nowhere. It is a part if the regions history, but in our opinion there are better ways to spend your time up here.
The passages history is fascinating and brutal; this route around the top of the world was long sought. Today, however, there are much better ways to see the Arctic with more wildlife, more culture and much better accessibility. Additionally, slapping the name Northwest Passage instantly equates to a higher price tag its the cheeky designer label of the Arctic cruise world.
Defying international regulation, Norway still allows whale hunting as well as eating whale meat. While we accept that native communities should be permitted to maintain traditional hunting practices, commercial whaling is a totally different prospect, posing a threat to the survival of the species. Dont support it.
You wont find them waddling about in the Arctic, penguins can only be found in the southern hemisphere.

Beautiful. Go Bucks!
I would listen to it on a loop.
I didn't even know Jon Lovitz was there. We could have gotten him to roast me.
I'm going to guess that City BBQ will only be during the pre-game tailgate. Last year I remember they had food out until like 4-4:30. To be able to serve through the game would require bringing quite the amount of food, especially for how delicious it is.
Don't worry y'all, when I win the helmet I'll be sure to wear it to E2B in 2012.
That was Denny that did that. I knew something was fishy when he spent about 5 minutes signing it. I didn't even get to see it until I got home at about 3:30 am in the morning but it was worth it.
21-13 Buckeyes
I was obviously going to get a shirt, but this made me quit procrastinating and actually order one. Thanks for making me be productive Ramzy.
OH MY GOD, THAT'S SARAH HARDY'S MUSIC.....Welcome!
I am going to spill so much on that white shirt.
Being that it is a 8 pm kickoff, I might need more than the 1 flask of Maker's 46 that I brought last year.
Let the hatred of Boston flow.....your doing it right.
Went there a number of times for darts, beers, and food. Definately hit the spot.
I am just going to assume that since his user name ends with 33 that Buckeye33 is actually Sportsguy33 therefore he is Bill Simmons. That would explain everything.

Jon Stewart vs. Bill O'Reilly: The Debate
Tracy Bloom
The most eagerly anticipated face-off of the election season will not feature President Obama and Mitt Romney, but rather will pit longtime nemeses Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly in a battle between the left-leaning Comedy Central and conservative Fox News personalities. On Monday, it was announced that the pair would be meeting up for a 90-minute debate next month at The George Washington University in D.C.
The Oct. 6 event, already dubbed "The Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium," will be livestreamed for a fee of $4.95, half of which will go to charity.
Stewart, host of "The Daily Show," and O'Reilly, host of "The O'Reilly Factor," have occasionally sparred on each other's programs over the years, and, as you will see below, it's little wonder that fans of the two television hosts are looking forward to this next round.
Jon Stewart heads into the No Spin Zone:

Suspicious Olivia, Minn., fire decimates home, kills therapy dog
OLIVIA — A fire being investigated as arson has left two Olivia residents without a home and their possessions and took the life of the owner's therapy dog.
The Monday night fire destroyed a mobile home owned by Jordana Wenzel, 63. Wenzel is a transvestite, and said there is the possibility that she was the target of a hate crime.
"I have had been threatened by a couple of different people over the past year and a half and it's possible that it could be a hate crime. I don't know," Wenzel said.
Wenzel said it's also possible that his roommate, a 44-year-old man he declined to identify, was the intended target.
Neither Wenzel or the roommate were in the mobile home when the fire was reported about 10:30 p.m. Monday.
Flames were already shooting through the roof of the structure in a mobile home park on Hickory Avenue on the city's north side when Olivia fire fighters arrived at the scene.
Wenzel said the firefighters knocked down the fire, but returned again in the early morning hours to fight a second blaze at the site. Both the first and second fires were believed to have been arson, Wenzel said.
The Olivia Police Department issued a statement Wednesday saying the preliminary investigation determined that the fire was suspicious and is considered to be arson.
Responding officers reported finding two sets of footprints in the snow. Wenzel believes the fire was set underneath a corner of the structure.
Wenzel had a therapy dog, a Chihuahua named princess, who perished. Both occupants lost their clothing, furnishings and personal items. Wenzel said the loss of a battery-powered, four-wheeled scooter she uses to get around is especially difficult. She has a number of health problems and has difficulty walking.
Wenzel and the roommate are staying with different friends in Olivia. Wenzel did not have insurance on the mobile home or its contents, and said she will now need to find a place to stay. Sandy Mundy, a friend, is putting Wenzel up in her apartment but the landlord informed her that her lease allows for Wenzel to stay only five days.
The fire is the second currently under investigation in Olivia. An arson that destroyed the Renville County Food Shelf, Hair Connections and Red Cross office in Olivia's downtown in September, 2012, remains under active investigation. Information on the latest fire should be forwarded to the Olivia Police Department at 320-523-2700; the state arson hotline at 1-800-723-2020; or Renville Crime Stoppers at 1-800-720-3790.
Donations to assist the fire victims can be sent to Citizens State Bank Olivia, 111 South 10th Street, Olivia, MN 56277.

Johannesburg - Joyce Khumalo, the former girlfriend of NPA head Mxolisi Nxasana laid an assault charge against him in 1986 because he allegedly beat her up, the Sunday Times reported.
When Joyce tried to dump him, Nxasana allegedly beat her so badly that she was admitted to hospital, Khumalo's mother, Aggrieneth Khumalo, told the newspaper.
Nxasana also allegedly attempted to strangle her during the breakup.
Khumalo then laid an assault charge against him in Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal, and it was believed this was the case for which he paid a R50 admission of guilt fine, the newspaper reported.
Joyce died in 1998 in an unrelated incident.
Last month, former justice minister Jeff Radebe reportedly instructed Nxasana to resign after not being given a security clearance because of past brushes with the law. He has refused to resign.
The newspaper reported that he was acquitted on a murder charge in 1985 as it was in self defence, and that he had twice been convicted for assault, charged with reckless and negligent driving and resisting arrest. He was also fined R2000 for misconduct by the law society.
The newspaper said it could not get comment from Nxasana or NPA spokeswoman Bulelwa Makeke. Sapa could also not immediately get comment on the report from the NPA.

About the Creator
Born in Rome in 1981, residing in Ciampino. I approach to photography after studying art. Buying my first SLR beginning to discover a new world deepen the techniques by himself and start my photographic journey. Training my eye, beginning with landscapes and portraits, but my interest begins to move towards the details and concepts imaginary. Seeking a macro in hidden forms and its infinite colors: flowers, insects, objects. At the same time I am captivated by the charm of black and white finding contrasts very close to my personality. When I come back from every trip with me carry visual experiences and unforgettable memories. Not only photographer with a passion, it is often meditative immersion in the vision of personal compositions reflected in me. Only when I find the right inspiration I can deal with what surrounds me, I analyze and transform.

To the editor:
The Monticello Lions Club and the Lions Brewfest Committee would like to take this moment to thank all the folks who attended our Brewfest Event in West Bridge Park on Saturday, Aug. 18. We could not have asked for a better turn out, a more beautiful day or more support from those without whose help we could not have pulled it off.
In particular:
To our sponsors, we owe a debt of gratitude, they trusted our vision of this event and contributed to it in the name of our charitable efforts. We hope you feel that your investment was worthwhile, welcome your involvement in this event in the future, and thank you for your friendship and your belief in us.
Thanks to our friends in the craft beer community, the area beer distributors, and representatives from all the breweries that donated their product for sampling, all in the support of our event whose sole purpose was to raise funds to continue our charitable efforts in Monticello.
We'd like to recognize our food vendors, who took a leap of faith and got on board with the Lions for a trip into uncharted territory, thank you and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Hope to see you next year!
Thanks to all the "civilians" (non-Lions members) who pitched in to help…family and friends of Lions members who helped out just because, others who helped with planning and crossing the T's and dotting the I's.
And last, but certainly not least….we'd like to recognize the beer-loving patrons, those who reached into their pockets and bought tickets for an event that had never been done before in Monticello, with no way of knowing whether it would be a boom or a bust, simply taking that leap of faith with the Monticello Lions Club, betting that a good idea and a beautiful Saturday in August would come together for the fun time we all had.
Thank you so much! We'll see you next year!

Loved by the people for their extreme utility, abhorred by the state as a symbol of backwardness, cycle rickshaws – or pedicabs – are not a new phenomenon in India. Originally from Japan, the hand-drawn rickshaw was introduced in Simla in India around 1880. It was, then, a vehicle to carry the social elite. By 1950, cycle rickshaws evolved into a popular mode of urban transport. Today, cycle rickshaws provide door-to-door transport at an affordable price to people in urban areas across India. Cycle rickshaws also provide easy employment to those wanting employment. At a time when economic opportunity in the hinterland is dwindling, many village folk come to the city and earn a living by pulling cycle rickshaws. Continue reading

Happy Diwali. (Thank you Pallavi.)

And since I for one ("I" in this case being Eric Britton, an editor of India Streets) really did not understand what it was about beyond a kind of "Hindu New Year + Thanksgiving" (sorry!), I had to look it up.

Your home was beautiful and perfect for our vacation. Everyone had a marvelous time especially my grandchildren. They were hard to get out of the pool.
Great house! Very clean and beautifully decorated with all the amenities you would ever need. Plenty of room for all. Sleeps 8 comfortably. Master bedroom has a walk-out to the pool which is very nice. We would definitely rent this house again!
Excellent accommodations for a great price! We felt right at home the minute we walked in. The house was beautifully furnished and had all of the comforts one could need. Our children had their own space and enjoyed all of the amenities. The pool was gorgeous and we constantly used it while there. The outdoor living space was perfect for entertaining some of our local friends. The house was within easy driving distance to beaches and other fun attractions. Would love to live there if we could. Will definitely go back!
We enjoyed a wonderful visit at this home! The home is very clean and beautifully decorated with new furnishings, comfortable beds and linens, equipped kitchen and outdoor furnishings. There are many thoughtful touches throughout -- like high thread-count sheets, nice towels, pool lounge chairs, tvs in the bedrooms, alarm clocks, wine openers, etc.
It is located in a very quiet neighborhood. The saltwater pool is gorgeous! It is surrounded by really nice landscaping and is very private. There is also a great outdoor cooking area and table and chairs on the lanai. They even had dinnerware, glassware, etc for use outside.
My husband is golf player so he liked the fact that the house is virtually next door to the golf course and he was able to play three mornings of our five-day stay. He also charted a boat nearby and went tarpon fishing.
Although the house isn't "on the beach", you can drive to Captiva or Sanibel beaches very easily. Those are some of the most beautiful beaches in all of Florida. The owner had beach chairs, towels, and an umbrella for us to use.
We spent one morning at the Darling National Wildlife Refuge and got to see a mantee very close up. You can also rent kayaks to explore the refuge by water. I also really enjoyed the little island of Matlacha with its cute shops and artists' galleries. It is a very short drive. There are also several fun places to eat there.
Although we stayed at the house with just one other couple, it would be great for a family. The owners are very nice and made our stay so enjoyable. Great spot for a relaxing vacation! We look forward to visiting again soon.

Washington, July 14 (ANI): Maternal diets higher in protein increases the overall fecundity of the adult mother and also has a beneficial effect on the next generation, than females grown on a diet that was mainly sugar, a new study has found.
Researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), while studying the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) as part of a multi-institutional team, discovered that a larval diet that's predominantly protein is better than a diet of sugar when it comes to the reproduction and development of the next generation of the small flies, which count humanlike metabolism among their many biological similarities.
The scientists adjusted the proportion of yeast to sugar in the flies' diet to devise protein-rich or sugar-rich food sources.
Comparing both diets, they discovered that mother flies that grew as larvae on a protein diet had greater fecundity and offspring possessing greater metabolic reserves than females grown as larvae on a diet that was predominantly sugar.
"We saw that maternal larval diets higher in protein increased the overall fecundity of the adult mother, the number of eggs she produced, and also had a beneficial effect on the next generation, the F1 generation of offspring," Dr. Luciano Matzkin, assistant professor and director of the graduate program in the UAH Department of Biological Sciences said.
When researchers returned F1 larvae to a typical banana puree lab diet fed to fruit flies, it did not change the beneficial effects that the maternal larval protein diet had conferred on the F1 generation.
This basic research has applications to humans and other species, Dr. Matzkin said.
The dramatic change in the human diet since the Industrial Revolution "to where we have almost pre-digested food" has altered human nutrition, Dr. Matzkin said.
Along with other environmental factors, the changes may influence a range of childhood and adult health outcomes, such as the rise of asthma, allergies, juvenile onset diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.
"These environmental influences affect the turning on and off of genes, and how they interact with each other," he said. (ANI)

A hazard ratio of 1 means survival, or the risk of death, is the same for both arms of the study. A lower hazard ration (less than 1) equates to an improvement in survival, or a reduction in the risk of death. As I said above, J&J reported a survival hazard ratio of 0.79 for the Zytiga pre-chemo study, which means patients treated with Zytiga had a 21% reduction in the risk of death compared to placebo. (1 - 0.79 = .21) I feel smarter already. Thanks. So, if Xtandi brings home a survival hazard ratio of less than 0.79 in the PREVAIL study, it's a win? Call the Xtandi bogey a hazard ratio of 0.75 or less, which would be meaningfully better than Zytiga. An Xtandi hazard ratio of 0.75 would also imply a median overall survival benefit of 8-10 months compared to placebo (assuming the placebo arm comes in with a median overall survival in the range of 26-30 months.) That would be a nice improvement over the five-month median survival benefit seen with Zytiga. One more important point to keep in mind: J&J's Zytiga must be given with a steroid, while Xtandi does not. Urologists, who treat a majority of prostate cancer patients, hate giving steroids. This is a big advantage for Xtandi. What if Xtandi doesn't reach median overall survival when the results are announced? Hmm. I think you're smarter than you're letting on. You raise a good point. We may not get median overall survival in the Xtandi arm but that would be a plus, not a minus, as long as the hazard ratio is strong. You've written 700-plus words on Xtandi so far and no mention at all of biostatistics and p values. How is that possible? Okay, now you're mocking me. We definitely want to see a statistically significant p value attached to the Xtandi results, which would be another point of differentiation from Zytiga. You may not remember, the Zytiga survival benefit was not statistically significant, although to be fair, the statistical miss did not deter FDA from approving the drug anyway for pre-chemo prostate cancer patients. Same can be said for Xtandi in the unlikely event that the survival benefit comes back with an errant p value, although it won't make investors very happy. When will Medivation and Astellas announced results from the PREVAIL study? Official guidance is "before the end of the year," but I suspect the end of September or October is more likely. That's just a hunch. How can you write a story about prostate cancer and not mention Dendreon (DNDN) or Provenge? Who? What? -- Reported by Adam Feuerstein in Boston. Follow @AdamFeuerstein

pezgirl50911 NOV, 2011I used Point Reyes blue cheese because it's softer and blends quite nicely and easily with the cream cheese, but it is very robust, so was very flavorful even though I used the whole 8 oz brick of cream cheese. This one wasn't such a big hit with the guests, but they did comment on its decorative appearance.Reply
jmnorris23 NOV, 2010Absolutly perfect! I served this at our Halloween party this year and everyone loved it! I ended up using poppy seeds instead of black sesame seeds and I used an extra half brick of cream cheese. It looks really cool with the little bit of blue food coloring and helps hint towards the blue cheese taste you're going to get when you eat it.Reply
