This is why I'm glad jQuery exists. Raw JS is great, but jQuery has done the work for me, and now I can feel rest assured that I not only know how it works, but why it makes my job easier.
- http://www.jeffrey-way.com Jeffrey WayAuthor
True – But everything I taught in this lesson applies to jQuery. There's no jQuery shortcut for an if statement. :)
- Matt
Good job, I guess?
What I'm saying is, I've used pure Javascript for years, and years, and years. jQuery and other FWs such as Mootools and Prototype (and arguably RJS) help me accomplish a job much faster.
- http://matt-bridges.com Matt Bridges
When there is a framework for any language out there, it is always good practice to learn the basis of the framework before delving into it's convenience. I learned this the hard way (in my case with Javascript. ironic…).
But once again, great post Jeff!
- Ben
Have a look at that post. What do you think of it?
- Zi
I believe it's true to an extend, I learned JS before JQ and I did get rusty on some parts of JS, I'm definitely not as good as I was with pure JS but at the same time I've rarely heard employers ask you to code parts of the website in pure JS and nothing else.
But I have learend over 10 programming languages so I tend to loose myself more easily than people who would only concentrate on a few.
- Matt
I should stop using Rails and just program everything in C and put it in the cgi-bin directory.
My skills are degraded because I know Ruby. :|
- Giovanni
Was about to watch this — Then I clicked on the link to that belittling video of the universe you posted on Twitter and I think it's ruined any chances of me being productive right now, hehe. Instead, I think I'll go drink until I forget how small we are. :)
Will definitely come back and see this, though. I LOVE THIS SERIES! Great for me as a refresher of things I've recently learned. So THANKS!
- http://www.jeffrey-way.com Jeffrey WayAuthor
Is that video crazy? Really puts things into perspective.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it!
- http://davekingsnorth.com Dave
For a change I actually took the time to watch each section, pause, and write the code for myself from memory. I was familiar with most of this already but thats literally as far as my knowledge goes and I'm looking forward to following this whole series in the smae way.
When you teach stuff it sticks in my head, I get bored of learning from books too quickly.
- http://www.jeffrey-way.com Jeffrey WayAuthor
That's great, Dave. Thanks!!

Jeffry you are the KING!

Jeffry love the screencast's like so many I'm a visual learner and these lessons hit the mark. Is there nobody in the Envato network that could do the same over at Activetuts maybe a screencast each week on actionscript?
- http://sonergonul.com Soner Gönül
That's really great..!
I will try it..!

Hej Jeffrey, where did ya get that Textmate theme? I would really like to use it! It calms me down. I dont like using the white background and some of the themes really kinda s*ck. Could you pass me a link or something? Thank you, and great tutorial! Really learning a lot about Javascript!
- http://www.kaplang.com Michelle
really useful tutorial, thanks

hey ; )
nice tut as usual but we wud love to see some advanced tips time to time some animations you kno once again great tut and tnx ; ) - http://www.timesrecordnews.com christopher simmons
I wish these were a daily series rather then a weekly, I know you probably dont have a ton of time Jeffery but since these are mainly covering fundamentals they would probably be best watched in shorter succession!
still great and worth a watch though
- http://www.visual-blade.com Daquan Wright
Cool series, I still need to dig into my Rhino book and practice some statements myself. The while and do statements in particular since I'm not familiar with it.
- Towel
Tutorials like these are why Jeff is editor. Simple, yet applicable tutorials for beginners, which is the true purpose of a tutorial site. Great series, I'll be following it till the last chapter.
- http://smashingwebs.com/ SmashingWebs.com
Nice, We need more articles like this
- Raoul
Nice tut Jeffrey !
It's "funny" because when i started actionscipt (flash) people said that if you know javascipt you "know" actionscipt. What i see in that tutorial is if you actionscript you know javascript ^^ ( the syntax)
Or something like
if (youKnow = actionScipt){
youKnow === javascript
}but… i stil don't know action neither javascript^^'
Thank you,
(again appology the langage :x)
R. - Raoul
Oh yes i forgot, maybe now you can purchase "text expander" :D
Ps: have you ask for a wage increase ? :p (because of the adds in the begining)
- http://www.timesrecordnews.com christopher simmons
yea those are honestly getting on my nerves. I watched the entire diving into php and wordpress for designers series last weekend and ended up getting to to the point I would click on every ad because it would make it go away sooner. it's a real headache.
- Khalil
Great series… getting a lot of things Thank you Jeff.

- http://thejavascriptblog.com Merrick Christensen
I am stoked to see this series. Sick of people referring to JavaScript as jQuery. Good to see something focus on the language itself.
- http://elijahmanor.com Elijah Manor
I've enjoyed watching the videos… ;)
I didn't realize the string was wrapped in the String object to do methods/properties. Good to know.
By the way, the & is the bitwise and operator (not usually what is needed) as opposed to the && logical and operator
I look forward to the rest of the videos.
Expect a tech tweet tomorrow morning ;)
I really like the fact that JavaScript is very similar to Java.
- Daniel
If by similar you mean share the word "Java" in the name. Other than that, you will quickly find lots of differences including what is efficient, what which is used for, and of course methods! Java has functions! Only methods. (for example).
- Tylor Skory
Thanks again for all your time!

- Dennis
Absolutely can't wait for more. Do you have such screencasts on PHP as well?
- Daniel
Really enjoying this tutorial series.

Mr. Way,
We miss new CodeIgniter Tutorials!! You are one of the best teachers when it comes to CodeIgniter. There are not that much (screencast)tutorials to follow and your screencasts are the best out of all!
- http://www.brianfidler.com brian fidler
Great tutorials Jeffrey,
One thing I noticed however, in tutorial 2 you were pretty emphatic to use === as a conditional operator, but in your example in tutorial 3 you reverted to == (2 equal signs instead of 3). This might get a little confusing for anybody new to scripting.
- http://www.jeffrey-way.com Jeffrey WayAuthor
Brian – was just a typo. I noticed that too. :) Use three.
- Daniel
I also noticed you mentioned people might be able to get away with just one & instead of two &. That statement is true; however, for an entirely different reason. & and bitwise and && is logical. (Kind of like ! is the "Logical Not" and ~ is the "Bitwise Not".) I remember one time I got in an argument with a fellow coder about him using & all the time because even though the statements might work, they won't always work.
&, |, ~, <> are all bitwise and are probably too advanced for this tutorial series; however, I could be convinced into writing a short intro if you wanted me to. Be warned though, I'm probably not going to be any better than reading a Wikipedia and spitting out examples for which I have used bitwise "stuff".
- http://www.dynamicpalette.com Chris Seckler
Great Series Jeffrey! I'm really learning alot!
When you explained the valueOf() method, you forgot to include the parantheses and it therefore returned "function valueOf() { [native code] }". You didn't really mention what this is good for. Did you mean to include the parantheses, because when you add them, it returns the actual value of the string, which is "Hello World"?
I'm a bit confused as to why I would use the valueOf() method. If you want to see the value of a variable you can just use document.write(myString). Whats the point of writing document.write(myString.valueOf()); ?
- Deoxys
I love these tuts!!
But why does my Firefox always crash when I finish one XD - Dan
Thanks for the great tutorial. On Chapter 3, at about 14 minutes when you had a "glitch," is it possible it was because for an instant you had an "infinite" while (i < 10) loop (before you added the i++ to actually increment the variable)?
Hope this helps.
- Matias
Thanks for these, Jeffrey. You make learning JS easy and fun. :-)
At 08:00 you say that you can include only one thing in the if statement when using short-hand forms. How about this?
var x = 4;
( x === 4 ) ? ( ( x = 3 ) && document.write( x ) ) : document.write( x );
- Blake
One question. I've seen Chapter 1 & 2, but I'm stuck here. I'm doing and everything right, and I'm getting the same results except, my browser isn't updating automatically like yours is when you type in differences. I'm using Windows 7, Notepad++, and Firefox if it's any use. Would really like to know how to get mine to update automatically like his.
- http://pogul.com Marc Pogul
I'm glad to see there are other folks (like me) still watching this series! Great stuff Jeffrey!
@Blake, I believe the instant updating we see is due to the specific editor that Jeffrey is using – something called "Mocha" I believe?? Or a combo of using Textmate and Mocha?
I'm not a Mac guy so I'm not sure of the exact app, but I believe he mentioned that towards the beginning of this chapter – and you can see "Mocha" in the title bar of that window that is updating.
You'll also notice that when it had issues in the middle of the tut, he switched over to just using FF for the previews.
I'm not sure if there is anything comparable for us Windows folks. :)
Hope that helps clear up the confusion.
- Walker
I'm puzzled by an output discrepancy in this 3rd cast.
When you show the second-form if/else statement, you place two document.write(x) commands around it so we see it is 5 before and 10 after. There is no space between the numbers.
But then, when you go into your first for-loop example, suddenly each document.write(i) is printed with a nice space between.
What happened? Why is one spaced and the other not?
- http://wingsofweb.blogspot.in Rohan
Thanks Jeffrey for this wonderful tutorial. I'm on windows, so it'll be helpful if u can suggest me the text editor that works same as Espresso. I meant for LIVE reloading of page without having to refresh.

FRUIT > Hunks of juicy meat aren't the only things you can throw on the barbecue this time of year, think about putting some grill marks on peaches, cantaloupe, nectarines and even grapes.
Grilling fruit can be a great way to enjoy the best of the seasonal bounty. Some may ask, why grill fruit when you can just as easily enjoy it fresh?
Jonathon Perkins, executive chef for Erna's Elderberry House in Oakhurst, Calif., says the hot coals or gas grill caramelize the sugars in the fruit, creating a smoky sweetness.
"It adds a nice texture and flavor to a dish," Perkins says.
Grilled fruit can be eaten as is, with ice cream or combined in a recipe for a new taste. It's also another way to add healthy food to your diet.
For starters, pick fruit that is ripe but firm. For tree fruit, some like to slice the fruit in half, remove the pit and place on the grill cut side down. You can also quarter the fruit, making sure the slices are big enough to not fall through the grill.
Skewers also work well for combining several pieces of fruit at once, such as pineapple, mango, tree fruit and grapes.
Personal chef Wendy Carroll, of Seasoned To Taste in Fresno, Calif., says to make sure you clean the grill before placing the fruit on the grate to avoid unwanted flavors. And brush a little oil on the grill to keep the fruit from sticking.
Depending on the fruit, it may take just a few minutes on medium heat to get those great looking grill marks.
Farmer and cookbook author Nikiko Masumoto likes to go a little longer, about six to seven minutes, when she grills her halved peaches or nectarines.
"If your fruit is really ripe, the nectar of the fruit will start to boil up and pool where the pit used to be," Masumoto says. "After that, pull them off and drop a scoop of vanilla ice cream on them. And they will taste so good."
Chefs and food experts say it is fun to experiment with different types of fruits to see what works best and what you like.
Jo Ann Sorrenti, owner of Sierra Nut House in Fresno, grills peaches, apricots, and nectarines. Sierra Nut House chef Adrianna Oropeza recently prepared grilled peaches with an almond-paste filling and blueberries.
And don't worry if you don't have a grill, a skillet with ridges works, Sorrenti says.
Grapes are also good for grilling, says Courtney Romano, registered dietitian for the California Table Grape Commission in Fresno.
Romano grills grapes in small bunches, or on skewers. Just apply a small amount of oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place on the grill for about two minutes, or until they start to soften and caramelize.
"Grilling adds another dimension that enhances so many other different foods including meats," Romano says. "Grapes have a juicy delicate sweetness that cuts through the heavy proteins."

text: Jeopardy, IBM and Watson as a Service By Rachel Rosmarin March 14, 2013 9:50 AM Tags : Cloud Computing Development IBM http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/appgrid-public_cloud-iaas-paas-cloud_computing,2-491.html What do you do after you win big on Jeopardy? Maybe you take your winnings and finally fund that company you've always wanted to start. IBM is thinking along those lines with Watson--the supercomputer that beat Jeopardy's top trivia contestants two years ago. IBM is putting in effort to turn Watson into a revenue stream with a series of products, including ones delivered over the cloud to enterprises. The first Watson-based products, for the healthcare industry, have already been announced. Watson also recently showed up to advise Citigroup about risk models.In the future, Watson will be delivered via private, public, and hybrid cloud models, as well as on-premise, to business areas including marketing, operations, and finance. And IBM is already deploying Watson across all areas of its own business. The challenge lies in marketing Watson as a business strategy and not as an academic curiosity.The computer's biggest asset is its ability to understand and parse natural language queries (prompts phrased differently by different people), and deliver results or a set of answers based on its many teraflops of data access. Watson is also skilled at reporting on its estimated confidence that its various responses are accurate, relevant or match the queries.

Boosting the popularity of opposition!
June 25 - Nara Chandrababu Naidu staged a protest at Durga temple in Vijayawada over demand to construct fly over in the city. The result and the attention the protest grabbed were apparently low. But, within moments the news spreadlike wildfire and turned viral on Internet and the reason being Lagadapati Rajagopal, who marched towards Babu's venue with his followers. He argued with the police, jostled and finally made it big in the news today. All he wanted was to meet Mr. Naidu and elucidate him the problems before the government for contruction of a bridge there. He successfully entered the news but what he presumably overlooked was his hungama indirectly benefitted Chandrababu Naidu. With today's episode, the sources, said Lagadapati Rajagopal tried to overshadow the chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy and PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana!
Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal is a known figure across the country as the young leader can be termed as the most successful leader in terms of hogging the limelight - even at the cost of his own party's future at times! Be it when Telangana movement outbroke or the recent rift between YSRC and Congress, Vijayawada MP ended up adding fuel to the fire in the name of 'public interest.' As an MP of the one of the most prominent cities in Andhra Pradesh, what Lagadapati Rajagopal did to Vijayawada was presumably low. But, the media sources said Rajagopal enjoys the limelight over controversies.
Cornering the Congress:
When the voting for bypolls was concluded, Lagadapati Rajagopal came out with statements that were more or less like an insult to the party. He predicted the results and said YSR Congress would make a clean sweep. Lagadapati was not an official spokesperson of the Congress party in the state. The analysts even said Lagadapati Rajagopal was an MP and he should apparently raise his voice on the local issues in the parliament and instead of that he was raising voices in the media.
His extra interest in local politics presumably turned fatal to Congress party in the state, opined political analysts. The people in Telangana region were not against Congress party in the state earlier until Lagadapati plunged into the scene. Lagadapati Rajagopal reportedly used Congress party as his defense and apparently projected his interests under the shade of the party. Analysts opined that the credit of Congress party losing its charm in Telangana region was reportedly because of Lagadapati Rajagopal. Had he not given statements that apparently disturbed the people in Telangana region, Congress would have come out with flying colours in Parakala assembly, added political observers.
Did Lagapati's statements at least benefit in Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions? The answer would be a 'no' since it's known that 15 MLA seats were won by YSR Congress party. Lagadapati Rajagopal lashing out at Jaganmohan Reddy's mother, Vijayamma had cost Congress party dearly in Seemandhra region. When PCC chief was there to respond on the issue after discussing with the high command, there was no need for Rajagopal to make such swift statements in a fit of rage, said the observers in the state. It is known that any woman, who loses her husband in a plane crash and who hears her son being arrested would definately break into tears. And given the fact that Indians give lot of respect to women, any statement made by a politician against a woman would undoubtedly irk scores of people and the same happened in Jagan's story too. Lagadapati Rajagopal should have maintained silence, said political observers.
Also, It is known that clashes took place earlier between Jagan's followers and Lagadapati's followers. So, whatever rift was running between the duo was more or less personal and Congress party had apparently no role to play in it. But, Lagadapati Rajagopal promptly responded to statements of Vijayamma. What he did was not against the law as he just expressed his fundamental right - right to freedom of speech and expression. But, that was apparently against the interests of the party. In fact, the sources said that even loyalists of Congress in several parts of Seemandhra region showed interest in YSR Congress during bypolls after Lagadapati Rajagopal making statements against Jaganmohan Reddy's mother.
Will Congress take any action on Lagadapati Rajagopal for apparently playing big role and talking on behalf of the party many a time is a million dollar question now. Meanwhile, sources said that there's a little time left over for Congress to introspect and if it doesn't correct certain leaders, it would end up losing its power in 2014. One has to keep fingers crossed to know what the action of Congress party would be in the wake of its defeat in bypolls.

Friday Edition
Tom is one of the 33 coauthors of a new book to be published this fall called The Big Moo. Seth Godin, the editor, brought together an amazing group of business thinkers to talk about what it means to be remarkable, with all royalties going to charity. The launch of the book will begin a movement to remarkabalize organizations and individuals. The website devoted to the movement is still under construction, but we'll let you know when it goes live. One of the most interesting features of the book is that each author's contribution does not bear attribution. You, the reader, have to figure out (if you so desire) which author wrote which piece. We don't think you, the tompeters.com audience, will have much trouble identifying which piece is Tom's (but we'll offer this clue, just in case: the title includes the word "extreme").
Seth (one of our Cool Friends) is known for his unconventional approach to marketing. With this book, he's arranged to sell the bound galleys of the book. Read more about why he's doing that here. Buy a box of the galleys or pre-order the book here. As they say in the book, "stop trying to be perfect and start being remarkable."
Tom, I've preordered mine through Amazon and am very much looking forward to reading your part in it.

I have pre-ordered my copy too and I can't wait to read it - what a fabulous idea. Typical creative thinking from Seth Godin - pity we don't see more comments from him on TP discussions I say :-)
Posted by Trevor Gay at August 16, 2005 3:17 PM
Congratulations and every best wish for a successful project! I have every confidence that you will surpass expectations and create a Win-Win-Win-ad-infinitum situation for every single person who reads the book and benefits from the proceeds of your most generous donations! Simply Remarkable!
Posted by Tom O'Leary at August 16, 2005 5:22 PM
Should be a best seller in the business world at least - and I bet we can spot Tom's radical writing style.
Just finished "100 People Screwing up America" by Goldberg - and it is a fun read.
Posted by Sean at August 17, 2005 12:25 PM
It must be fun if the website is equipped with interactive quiz of which authors wrote which pieces.
Posted by kenjimori (Japanese) at August 17, 2005 9:28 PM
I join others here in wishing the project the greatest success - talk about win-win! I have pre-ordered my hard copy,and am already anticipating that exciting moment of opening the package and taking that first look through.
Happy w/e all, to those reading this on Friday 19 August.

Great idea Kenjimori, thanks for posting insights like that one! I am sure that more people than we realise will appreciate it.

A Lot More Work Than You'd Expect!
Member Name: Mask_and_Mirror
Date: 02/07/09
Advantages: Pretty, calming
Disadvantages: Horrible to clean out, expensive to keep considering, need a lot of space
The only real reason I have goldfish is that they belonged to someone else I knew and I offered to take them when they could no longer be looked after. I had always wanted pet fish, as I think they are very cute and pretty, as well as being relaxing to look at.
These things may be so, but looking after goldfish is disproportionately demanding. Cleaning a goldfish tank is a pretty horrible job (they are far dirtier animals than most tropical fish)
A decent tank can be quite expensive (please buy a big one - goldfish also need more space per fish than tropical)! But fish themselves are cheap, to coin a phrase, as chips. On the other hand, their lifespan is pretty random and they are more prone to disease than other pet fish. Usually if one lasts the first month it'll last a few years, and some can live an incredibly long time.
They are lovely to have here and because I have grown attached to them I would not get rid of them ever, but I don't think I will be buying fish again, despite my boyhood dream of owning a huge reef tank!
Summary: I would not have goldfish again. But I still love the ones I've got!

NP Rank:
Only a Fine for Wisconsin Woman Who Hid Corpse on Toilet
MAUSTON, Wis. - A woman accused of helping her religious leader hide a decaying corpse on her toilet so they could continue collecting her Social Security was convicted of a misdemeanor in a deal for her to testify against the leader, a prosecutor said Monday.
Tammy Lewis, 36, of Necedah, pleaded no contest to obstructing a police officer and was fined $350 in a plea bargain that defers prosecution of more serious charges. Juneau County Circuit John Roemer ordered her to pay the fine within 60 days or serve a seven-day jail sentence.
Lewis and Alan Bushey, 58, were accused of hiding 90-year-old Magdeline Alvina Middlesworth's body on a toilet in Lewis' home after she died in March. Investigators said Middlesworth and Lewis were members of a religious sect Bushey led called the Order of the Divine Will.
Bushey told Lewis that God would revive Middlesworth, who friends and family said was from Washington state, investigators said.
Lewis in May initially told a sheriff's deputy that Middlesworth was on vacation.
The deputy later discovered the elderly woman's rotting body in Lewis' stench-filled home.
She also told authorities she was Middlesworth's power of attorney, and the older woman used all of her money to support their six-member religious group. Investigators believe Middlesworth's Social Security and annuity checks totaling nearly $3,000 were deposited after her death into a bank account she shared with Lewis.
As part of Lewis' plea deal, five other charges, including three felony counts of hiding a corpse and causing mental harm to a child, will be dismissed in two years if she cooperates with prosecutors and follows other court orders involving her children, District Attorney Scott Southworth said.

Nanny Bans Chocolate
Well she is fed up with being ignored like this, she is after all only trying to help us live "better" lives.
To this end she has decided to take a more proactive approach.
She has decided to ban chocolate.
Nurses working for Barnsley Hospital Care Trust have now been banned from buying chocolate. The ban affects 3 hospitals in the area; chocolate will no longer be sold in the staff canteens, as part of a health drive.
This rather nasty, and spiteful, attempt at restricting an innocent pleasure may in fact be just the tip of the iceberg.
You see Nanny now employs around 7 million people in the UK, that is quite a large section of the population over which she can exercise control.
I have a suspicion that those who work for Nanny will soon see other areas of their private lives restricted, as she takes a more proactive approach to enforcing her narrow views about how we should be living our lives.
3 comments:
This country is getting more like Soviet Russia every day. The way women are urged to work reminds me of the state of things in Stalin's Soviet wwhen women had to work and leave their children in State Nurseries to be indoctrinated.
Chocolate is only one more thing which Nanny wants to control. In September we shall not be able to but many food supplements and vitamins and today there has been a lot of talk on the radio about something in chips and bread which if heated turns into a cancer forming thing. So we are told not to toast bread too much and not eat so many chips.
They haven't started on sex but they will. We will probably be issued with ration cards which have to be signed by a Sex Inspector. That should solve the unemployment problem- Alan9:36 AM
Nanny may not like some lifestyle habits but she is quite keen to promote others e.g. gambling. I reckon that soon we'll see slot machines sitting in hospitals. What better way to spend your time while waiting to be treated (and it will keep people's minds off of chocolate)!

5 | Whole Garlic Heads |
2 | Bacon slices; diced |
1 cup | Onion; diced |
1 cup | Carrot; diced |
2 | Garlic cloves; minced |
6 cups | Baking Potato; diced above aprox 2 pounds |
4 cups | Chicken broth; low salt |
½ teaspoon | Salt |
¼ teaspoon | Pepper |
1 | Bay Leaf |
1 cup | 2% low-fat milk |
¼ cup | Parsley; fresh chopped |
Notes: Thickened by mashed potatoes, this rich soup gets its hearty, smoky flavor from the addition of bacon and garlic.
Remove white papery skin from each garlic head (do not peel or separate cloves). Wrap each head separately in aluminum foil. Bake at 350F degrees for 1 hour; let cool for 10 minutes. Separate cloves, and squeeze to extract ¼ cup of garlic pulp; discard the skins.
Cook bacon in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until crisp.
Add onion, carrot, and minced garlic, and saute 5 minutes. Add potato, broth, salt, pepper, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until potato is tender; remove bay leaf.
Combine garlic pulp and 2 cups potato mixture in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Return puree to pan; stir in milk, and cook over low heat until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.

Proust (Marcelo Mazzarella), on his deathbed in his small apartment on Rue Hamelin, is looking through old photos and remembering his life, as real characters intermingle with fictional ones from his novels. The period is 1914-18, when WWI is raging. Hidden in Paris, thanks to his asthma, Marcel Proust wanders into the night. He finds an aging courtesan in Café de la Paix, which is deserted by the curfew. Charlus, the seducer of young boys, is at the Palais des Felicites where he meets his lovers. Gilberte returns alone to Tansonville to evade the confiscation of her chateau by the Germans after the death of her husband at the front. Famous violinist Morel is hiding in a decrepit hotel. The demoralizing effects of war affect all the characters, hastening their decadence or transforming them into caricatures. In the whirlpool of the grotesque specter of war, Marcel finds refuge in his childhood memories to escape the atrocities around him. Death and decadence, the evanescence of human existence, and the relations between space and time are some of the main themes explored in this film, which reflects the works of Marcel Proust in every detail. Raul Ruiz has on his side a very good screenwriter, Gilles Taurand, and an impressive cast: Catherine Deneuve and John Malkovich, who have collaborated with Ruiz before, Emanuelle Béart, Vincent Pérez, Pascal Greggory, and the Italian man of theatre, Marcello Mazzarella. Shown in competition at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, Rovi

Critic Reviews
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Even if it lacks the emotional power of Manuel, Time Regained is a lot closer to Ruiz's best work than it is to his worst.
Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
The stream-of-consciousness structure effectively captures a mind lost in thought; what it doesn't effectively create, however, is drama.
Cole Smithey, ColeSmithey.com
Robert W. Butler, Kansas City Star
A crashing bore.
Nick Davis, Nick's Flick Picks
Moody, opulent, and just decadent enough, Ruiz's film is elegant all over and perverse around the edges, just as it should be.

Previous research has demonstrated an association between obesity and high amounts of television viewing. This study describes the relationship between obesity and television viewing among a population of women veterans. A mail survey was completed by 1,555 female veterans enrolled at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in 2000. The researchers used bivariate and multivariate analyses to assess the association of obesity with self-reported number of hours of television or videos viewed per day and frequency of eating meals or snacking while watching television.

Relatively selective α2-adrenergic agonist.1 3 11 19
Uses for Brimonidine Tartrate
Ocular Hypertension and Glaucoma
Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.1 3 13 19
Brimonidine Tartrate Dosage and Administration
IOP should be determined after about 4 weeks of therapy with the drug; thereafter, IOP should be determined as necessary.17
Topical Administration
Apply topically to the affected eye(s).1 19
If more than one topical ophthalmic drug is used, administer the drugs at least 5 minutes apart.1 11 19
Pediatric Patients
Ocular Hypertension and Glaucoma
The manufacturer makes no specific dosage recommendations for children ≥2 years of age.17
Ocular Hypertension and Glaucoma
One drop in the affected eye(s) 3 times daily, approximately 8 hours apart.1 11 19
Cautions for Brimonidine Tartrate
Sensitivity Reactions
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Ocular hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., allergic conjunctivitis, conjunctival hyperemia, ocular pruritus) reported.1 If sensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue brimonidine.17
Possible partial cross-sensitivity between brimonidine and apraclonidine;18 use with caution in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to apraclonidine.17
General Precautions
Systemic Effects
Minimal effects on blood pressure in clinical studies; use with caution in patients with severe cardiovascular conditions, depression, orthostatic hypotension, cerebral or coronary insufficiency, Raynaud's phenomenon, or thromboangiitis obliterans.1 19
IOP Monitoring
IOP-lowering effect of 0.2% brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution may diminish over time; routinely monitor IOP.19
Specific Populations
Distributed into milk in rats;1 17 discontinue nursing or the drug.1 19
Pediatric Use
Potentially serious adverse CNS effects, including apnea8 19 and lethargy reported in infants;8 19 not recommended for children < 2 years of age.1 6 19
Geriatric Use
No substantial differences in safety and efficacy relative to younger adults.1 19
Common Adverse Effects
With brimonidine tartrate 0.15% ophthalmic solution in adults, allergic conjunctivitis,1 conjunctival hyperemia,1 ocular pruritus,1 burning sensation,1 conjunctival folliculosis,1 hypertension,1 xerostomia,1 and visual disturbances.1
With brimonidine tartrate 0.2% ophthalmic solution in adults, oral dryness, ocular hyperemia, burning and stinging, headache, blurring, foreign body sensation, fatigue/drowsiness, conjunctival follicles, ocular allergic reactions, ocular pruritus.19
Age- and weight-related somnolence and decreased mental alertness reported in children 2–7 years of age with glaucoma receiving brimonidine tartrate 0.2% ophthalmic solution.1 6 19
Interactions for Brimonidine Tartrate
No formal drug interaction studies have been performed.1 19
Specific Drugs
Drug |
Interaction |
Comment |
β-Adrenergic blocking agents (topical or systemic) |
Cardiac glycosides |
Additive cardiovascular effects11 |
CNS depressants (e.g., alcohol, barbiturates, general anesthetics, opiates, sedatives) |
Hypotensive agents |
MAO inhibitors |
Antidepressants, tricyclics (TCAs) |
TCAs that affect the metabolism and uptake of circulating amines may interfere with IOP-lowering effect of brimonidine1 19 |
Brimonidine Tartrate Pharmacokinetics
Peak plasma concentrations occurred within 0.5–4 hours after ocular administration of brimonidine tartrate 0.1 or 0.2% ophthalmic solution.1 19
Peak ocular hypotensive effects occur 2–3 hours following topical administration of brimonidine.1 3 19
Distributed into milk in animals; not known whether the drug distributes into milk in humans.1 19
Extensively metabolized in the liver.1 19
Elimination Route
Brimonidine and its metabolites are excreted principally in urine.1 19
Selectivity for α2- versus α1-adrenergic receptors at least 10 or 28 times greater than that of clonidine or apraclonidine, respectively;3 9 11 may result in reduction in adverse pulmonary and cardiovascular effects.1 11
Advice to Patients
Importance of advising patients that brimonidine tartrate may cause fatigue and/or drowsiness and to exercise caution when engaged in hazardous activities requiring mental alertness.1 19
Importance of informing patients to administer other ophthalmic drugs at least 5 minutes apart.1 19
Importance of delaying insertion of soft contact lenses for at least 15 minutes after 0.2% brimonidine tartrate instillation, since benzalkonium chloride preservative in the solution may be absorbed by soft lenses.19
Importance of learning and adhering to proper administration techniques to avoid contamination of the solution container.17
Importance of women informing clinicians if they are or plan to become pregnant or plan to breast-feed.1 19
Importance of informing clinicians of existing or contemplated concomitant therapy, including prescription and OTC drugs as well as any concomitant illnesses.1 19
Importance of informing patients of other important precautionary information. (See Cautions.)

Pure Platinum is a great Microgaming slots game that has great sounds, graphics, player security, and the speed on the game can be adjusted. There are 5 reels with 40 paylines and the max payout in the game is for 1,000 coins. The max bet n the game s 5 cents with the minimum bet of 1 cent and to get the max payout you have to wager the max amount so the biggest wager is only $20.
The symbols in Pure Platinum are the Pure Platinum Symbol, Record Symbol, Stacked Bars, Stamped Bars, Ring, Watch, Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, and 9. The wild symbol is the Pure Platinum Symbol and the scatter is the Record Symbol. The Pure Platinum symbol can be substituted for any other symbol in the game to make a winning combination with the exception of the scatter Record Symbol.
When you hit on 2 or more of the scatter symbols on the reels they will have scatter payouts. If you are lucky enough to spin on 5 scatter symbols the payout will be 100x your wager. 3 or more of the scatter symbols will trigger the feature of free spins. There are 3 free spin options when you pay Pure Platinum. The first option gives you an impressive 50 free spins with a multiplier of 1x. The 2nd option gives you 25 free spins with a multiplier of 2x. The 3rd option gives you 10 free spins with a multiplier of 5x. Therefore you have a tough choice to make, as you can choose to get more free spins or a higher multiplier. In the game the 3 bonus options are shown as 3 molds having buckets of liquid platinum right above them. When you make the choice on which bonus option the liquid platinum is then poured into the mold you picked. In Pure Platinum you cannot retrigger the free spins.
There is also a unique Gamble Game in Pure Platinum, which is a Microgaming feature. You can multiply your payout by 2x or 4x every time until you reach the gamble limit. At the time when you get your payout you will see the Gamble and Collect buttons and if you choose the Gamble button you will have to choose the color of the card to multiply your payout by 2 or choose the suit of the card to multiply your payout by 4.

Whilst I'm spellbound by the concept and how it came about, I really can't read enough about it lately. It really doesn't do much for me personally as a service. Although I can see why it is so popular for so many.
For me, it seems to be mostly old people from school (who I didn't really care for) posting basic, boring and down right stupid things. Funny thing is, most "status bunnies" (OMG I'm buying Broccoli, I'm so drunk etc) would bash on geeks like myself for using IRC etc back in the 56k days at school... Funny old world.

- Eicke Weber, Fraunhofer-Institut fur Solare Energiesysteme ISE, Freiburg, Germany
Since its inception in 1966, the series of numbered volumes known as Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through the careful selection of well-known authors, editors, and contributors. The "Willardson and Beer" Series, as it is widely known, has succeeded in publishing numerous landmark volumes and chapters. Not only did many of these volumes make an impact at the time of their publication, but they continue to be well-cited years after their original release. Recently, Professor Eicke R. Weber of the University of California at Berkeley joined as a co-editor of the series. Professor Weber, a well-known expert in the field of semiconductor materials, will further contribute to continuing the series' tradition of publishing timely, highly relevant, and long-impacting volumes. Some of the recent volumes, such as Hydrogen in Semiconductors, Imperfections in III/V Materials, Epitaxial Microstructures, High-Speed Heterostructure Devices, Oxygen in Silicon, and others promise indeed that this tradition will be maintained and even expanded.Reflecting the truly interdisciplinary nature of the field that the series covers, the volumes in Semiconductors and Semimetals have been and will continue to be of great interest to physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and device engineers in modern industry.
Researchers, graduate students and practitioners in materials science (electronic materials field), and electrical engineering (field of electronic devices).

Steven Stamkos
Canadian professional ice hockey player
Steven Stamkos has Macedonian and Scottish roots and grew up in Ontario, Canada. Hockey was the natural thing to do in his town with all the facilities and equipment made available.
In 2008, after his successful two seasons playing in Canada it was obvious it was time to join the big time and he would be selected in the draft for the NHL. He was selected first overall pick by the Tampa Bay Lightning. That year was the year he became our valued ambassador.
Stamkos joined up with Team Canada at the 2009 IIHF World Championships in Switzerland, in which he was nominated to the all-star team for being one of the top scorers after his team reached second place and were unfortunate to lose 1-0 to Russia in the final.
In 2010 he was winner of the Rocket Richard Trophy for the most goals scored in the NHL season.
2011 was a great year for Stamkos. He scored his first playoff goals and contributed to the team's victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins, leading them to the Eastern Conference Finals where they were defeated by the Boston Bruins.
Steven Stamkos is a nightmare for the goalies and is proving himself every season. It promises to be a great year in 2012, with Stamkos putting on a show on ice at every game.
Stamkos is enjoying working with Tissot and he values his limited edition watches. "I take pride in being a Tissot Ambassador," he says. "I'm honored to be a part of the family and hope I can be with Tissot for a very long time.
"I really enjoy my two Steven Stamkos watches," he continues. "They are very special to me. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would have my own watch, and now I have two!"
The Tissot PRS 200 Steven Stamkos Limited Edition 2013 is a sporty timepiece which exudes class. Its colour, which tips its hat to Stamkos' Tampa Bay Lightning team, portrays a certain ease and simplicity, while its case and detailing do not fail to demonstrate its athletic nature. The traces on the dial evoke the way Steven Stamkos glides rapidly across the ice, keeping his options open as he builds tactics in his mind, shown by the many different lines. These qualities are what won him the "Rocket" Richard Trophy for the NHL's top goal scorer two seasons out of three. The marks on the bezel are a reflection of the tension building as the 20 minute period expires. The decisive goal is marked at 12 o'clock, with the illustration of the puck on the bezel. This limited edition will also only be producing an exclusive 1'091 pieces that feature Steven Stamkos' team number on the case back.

Making sure not to get the white pith below. The raisins are re-hydrated. The parsley rolled into a chifinade. The pine nuts are roasted in a 325 degree oven for 12 minutes or until just toasted light brown. They burn easy so be careful. The best way I have found for salmon to really, \\\"sing\\\" is to cook it in a hot pan, cook it fast. Take it off heat place a lid over top. The result is continually fab-o! Though this recipe is labor intensive initially it is well worth it. The special way this goes together makes this recipe a spectacular way to serve salmon!
2 filet of salmon
1 cup pine nuts
1 small bag spinach (washed & cleaned - stems removed)
1 large bunchflat leaf parsley
Rind from 1 lemon (just yellow parts)
1 cup Tuscani Salad Dressing (Kraft)
1 cup yellow raisins
2 Tablespoons butter
Old Bay Crab Seasoning
First measure the raisins, and peel the lemon. Place raisins in a bowl pour 1/2 cup hot boiling water over. Next take the peel off the lemon, align it and cut it into thin strips, like a matchstick cut except much thinner. Place it in a small bowl then pour hot boiling water over just to cover. ( reserve the water from this.) Let them sit for as much as 20 to 30 minutes. Measure out 1 cup of Pine Nuts into a oven safe skillet and toast for 14 to 16 minutes at 325. Watch carefully, these burn VERY easily! When ready take out of oven pour straight into medium size work bowl.
Get the spinach ready and place 2 cups per plate. Make sure the spinach is dry. (use of spinner is suggested.) Use the bottle of Tuscanny Salad Dressing to lightly dress the spinach. Set aside. Pinch the parsley leaves from a good size bunch onto a cutting board. Gather them together and fold the outside edge of the bunch towards the center of the mass. Keep doing this until it rolls onto itself tightly. Use a sharp knife to cut from one end to the other. Then cut the opposite way. Place the parsley, drained raisins, drained lemon, 1 Cup Tuscani dressing, pine nuts and stir well until all ingredients are covered in dressing. Add 1/4 cup of the left over water. Mix well. Wash and pat dry 2 fillet of salmon. Season with a couple shakes of Old Bay Crab Seasoning, or Louisanna spice mi. Put 2 Tablespoons oil in saute pan until it shimmers. Place salmon skin side down into very hot pan, cook with splatter screen over top until the salmon lets go on it\\\'s own and doesn\\\'t need to be scraped with a spatula, it should just move easily. When this happens place a couple fingers center of the filet, scoop up the underside and flip. Now add the 2 Tablespoons of butter into the hot pan, if dry use additional EVOO or cooking wine. This side takes about 4 to 5 minutes or less depending on the thickness of your fillet\\\'s. Flip back over, (without touching as at this time it will be hot. ) Remove pan from heat, place lid on top until ready to serve.
Put plates with spinach and dressing around the edge next to the skillet with the fish. Place each fillet in center of plate. Spoon on with slotted spoon the parsley, mix. This will be great, trust me.

I recently saw pictures of both Kirsten Dunst and Kate Moss wearing fitted little blazers over an evening gowns. It seemed like the pinnacle moment in an evolution I've been personally making with blazers.
For me, blazers have always been worn with pants. In my boarding school, a tailored jacket was required if you chose not to wear a skirt. And in my art-gallery-girl days I wore a Theory blazer over Joseph "jodhpur" pants-so nineties, I know! Nowadays, I rarely wear jeans without throwing my favorite Calvin Klein wool "riding" blazer on top.

But to go back a bit. . . . I think it was 2004 when I first noticed my friend Coco Brandolini wearing a velvet blazer over dresses and both knee-length and floor-length skirts. Not that this is such a novel idea. Women have been wearing tailored jackets with skirts for years but never in a way that was appealing to me. Somehow they always looked too much like a corporate suit. What I liked about Coco's approach was that it was a bit bohemian, but in a clean, pared-down way. When I soon after discovered a picture of Michelle Phillips from 1970 wearing a soft dress with a structured blazer, I felt inspired. Slowly I started to try the look myself and kept an eye out for various options along the way.
How to Wear a Black Blazer: Style ideas and tips for wearing fall's most-coveted item.There was the Viktor & Rolf for H&M blazer I wore over a Gucci baby doll dress; my DVF tweed blazer over a vintage seventies YSL fitted sweater with a short Zara peasant skirt; and-perhaps my favorite-my Chanel croc-embossed shrunken blazer over a floral Thakoon dress.
More recently, with the eighties front and center, I've seen and worn harder versions of this look. At the spring 2010 Calvin Klein show, Lauren Santo Domingo showed up in a tweedy Proenza Schouler blazer over a black minidress, and I myself have been wearing a softly pleated J.Crew skirt from a few years back with a sharp-shouldered 3.1 Phillip Lim tuxedo jacket and Tory Burch combat boots.
Although this may all sound a bit trendy-it is, believe me-now that I have been inspired by wearing a blazer with so many different things (even an evening gown) and have figured out how to make the look suit my own style, I feel pretty sure it is here to stay, at least in my closet.
