Born May 14, 1961 in London, England, Roth was raised in middle-class Dulwich by his father, Ernie, a journalist and former member of the British Communist Party, and Anne, a landscape painter and school teacher. Forced to switch from a comfortable primary school to The Strand comprehensive in nearby Brixton, Roth encountered a rougher crowd unappreciative of his proper English accent. After quickly developing his cockney accent, Roth resigned himself to a life of taking speed and digging art in the midst of a nascent punk movement. While in school, he auditioned for a part in a musical version of "Dracula," which sparked a previously nonexistent desire to pursue an acting career. He eventually made his way to Camberwell College of Arts, where he continued to delve into drugs, art and co-eds. But he soon dropped out of school and secured his Equity card while taking on a job selling advertising space while he worked fringe theater at night. Though many of the theaters were out in the middle of nowhere, Roth did manage to hone his chops on the works of Jean Genet and August Strindberg, though that sometimes meant performing to an audience of one.
Roth stumbled around for several years until he had one of those spontaneous, life-changing moments. In the early 1980s, while repairing a flat bicycle tire outside the Oval House, a community theater that was hosting auditions for a television movie to be directed by Alan Clarke. Instead of getting a tire pump, he was granted an audition, subsequently landing the leading role of Trevor, a violent and remorseless skinhead rebelling against anything that dares cross his path, in "Made in Britain" (1982). Roth was downright terrifying with a visceral performance, attracting immediate attention from audiences and critics. Roth made his feature debut with Mike Leigh's wry working-class drama, "Meantime" (1983), playing a shy young man down on his luck struggling with his family to make ends meet. But it took Stephen Frears and a bottle of bleach to catapult Roth into the limelight. As the dyed blond apprentice killer learning his new trade from an old pro (John Hurt) in "The Hit" (1984), Roth offered a strong turn that was both brutal and endearing.
With a heavy helping of positive reviews, Roth was able to parlay his role in "The Hit" into a budding career, playing variations-on-a-thug in films like "Return to Waterloo" (1985), "Murder With Mirrors" (CBS, 1987) and "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover" (1989). In a change of pace, Roth played a troubled character of an altogether different sort in Robert Altman's biopic "Vincent & Theo" (1990), which examined the relationship between the Van Gogh brothers. Playing against actor Paul Rhys' controlled take on Theo, Roth's Vincent was rife with the energy and desperation of a creative, but ultimately troubled mind. He lent the same kind of force to his pairing with Gary Oldman in Tom Stoppard's screen version of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" (1990), a wildly absurdist take on Shakespeare's most notorious pair of supporting players. Roth's game performance impressed aspiring filmmaker Quentin Tarantino enough to offer Roth the role of Mr. Orange, a critically-wounded undercover cop posing as a thief in the brutally violent crime thriller, "Reservoir Dogs" (1992). Adopting a flawless American accent and spending most of the movie wallowing in a pool of his own blood after a jewelry heist gone bad, Roth more than held his own with the likes of Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Chris Penn and Steve Buscemi.
In the obscure, bleak independent drama "Jumpin' at the Boneyard" (1992), Roth played a man who nearly beats his crack-addled brother (Alexis Arquette) to death after catching him in a robbery. Roth followed as real-life serial killer Charles Starkweather in the two-part miniseries "Murder in the Heartland" (ABC, 1993), earning critical plaudits for his frighteningly realistic performance. Reuniting with Quentin Tarantino, Roth memorably portrayed a small-time stickup artist who gets an unexpected comeuppance from a reforming hit man (Samuel L. Jackson) while trying to rob a coffee shop with his Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer) in "Pulp Fiction" (1994). Buried beneath the hoopla surrounding "Pulp Fiction" was another crime thriller, "Little Odessa" (1994), starring Roth as a hit man for the Russian mob, assigned to do a job in his old neighborhood of Brighton Beach in Brooklyn. Though he received notice and acclaim for both parts, Roth found himself sinking deeper into the mud of being typecast as a crook or killer. Even a supporting turn in "Rob Roy" (1995), playing the scheming, obsequious fop Archibald Cunningham, was ultimately along the same lines. He did, however, wow critics and audiences enough to earn an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
While he tried to break the tide with a comic turn as a bellhop - the unifying element in the four-part anthology "Four Rooms" (1995) - the results were mixed. Roth gamely tried to be what each director wanted, but came off more mannered than amusing. Meanwhile, he returned to form as the recently released convict whose attraction to a debutante upends her nuptial plans in Woody Allen's musical "Everyone Says I Love You" (1996). Roth displayed a modest set of pipes when called upon to warble two songs. Paired with rapper Tupac Shakur in "GRIDLOCK'd" (1997), Roth once again plumbed the depths of a troubled man; this time, a drug-addicted musician trying to clean up. After appearing as the ruthless real-life Dutch Schultz in "Hoodlum" (1997), Roth went against type a bit in "Deceiver" (1997), playing a wealthy yuppie suspected of murder. Roth finally shed his bad guy image in Giuseppe Tornatore's English-language debut, "The Legend of 1900" (1998). Cast as the adult incarnation of a music prodigy who spent his entire life on a luxury liner - a character that was more symbolic than real - Roth delivered a sweetly touching performance that allowed him to spread his wings.
Like many actors, Roth secretly harbored a desire to become a director. He eventually made his debut with "The War Zone" (1999), an intense family drama about a brother and sister who willingly engage in incest. In translating Alexander Stuart's controversial novel to the screen, Roth took great pains not to sensationalize the material. Using an evenhanded approach, he meticulously crafted a powerful and devastating film. Displaying virtuosity with his actors, including the relatively unknown Lara Belmont and Freddie Cunliffe, Roth elicited amazing work and proved that if he ever grew weary of playing screen villains, he could easily find a home behind the cameras. His career in front of the camera continued unabated with a supporting role as the Marquis de Lauzun in the costume drama "Vatel" (2000), which he followed with a supporting role as a sleazy owner of a strip club in the dismal crime comedy "Lucky Numbers" (2000). After playing the lethal right-hand of a scheming Cardinal (Stephen Rea) in the martial arts-tinged actioner, "The Musketeer" (2001), Roth donned a prosthetic monkey suit to portray the militant General Thade in "Planet of the Apes" (2001). Though the film was a major disappointment, his portrayal was cited as the best, eliciting true fear in viewers.
Having settled into a comfortable career that encompassed both major Hollywood blockbusters and little-seen independents, Roth continued to play stock-in-trade roles as unrepentant thugs while delving every now and then into unchartered waters. He played a stage hypnotist in 1930s Germany with dreams of starting a Ministry of the Occult in Hitler's government in "Invincible" (2002), then portrayed Oliver Cromwell, who helped depose Charles I (Rupert Everett) with General Thomas Fairfax (Dougray Scott), in "To Kill a King" (2003). After forgettable supporting roles in the drama "The Beautiful Country" (2004) and the supernatural thriller "Dark Water" (2005), Roth joined an ensemble all-star cast that included Danny DeVito, Kim Basinger and Ray Liotta for "Even Money" (2006), a compelling, but flawed drama that depicts various lives being destroyed by drugs and gambling during the weeks leading up to a championship basketball game. Roth then starred in Francis Ford Coppola's return to directing, "Youth Without Youth" (2007), playing a septuagenarian professor struck by lighting who suddenly finds himself aging backwards and going on the run from international authorities.
Returning to the blockbuster world, Roth played Emil Blonsky/Abomination, chief adversary to Edward Norton's "The Incredible Hulk" (2008) - a major blockbuster that became one of the summer's biggest hits despite relatively mixed reviews. From there, the actor took on a rare leading role on the small screen with "Lie to Me" (Fox, 2009-2011), a procedural drama where he played a clinical researcher who uses his skills of interpreting facial expressions and body language to solve crimes for police and the FBI. The show received mainly good reviews from critics and started its three season run on a positive note with enough of an audience to make it a hit. But by the end of that initial season, however, viewership dropped off significantly - a trend that continued throughout the following two seasons until the network finally canceled the show in May 2011. Meanwhile, Roth continued to appear on the big screen, starring as an owl-like angel in the British-made suburban fantasy "Skellig" (2009). After playing a legendary action director who winds up dead in the indie showbiz comedy "Pete Smalls Is Dead" (2010), Roth was a New York detective who holds a key piece of evidence that can take down a shady businessman (Richard Gere) in the financial thriller "Arbitage" (2012).

Notes |
"I don't have to sell the film or carry it on my back. I come in and tear up the scenery and I leave. That's much more fun for me. I don't look like a romantic lead. I don't have the face. Luckily, I get the other parts, which is more interesting to me." - Roth to the Daily News, April 11, 1995 |
"I have a hard time between jobs because I'm always convinced I'll never work again. I think it may be an English thing, this fear of unemployment, because that's mostly how one's time is spent over there." - Roth to New York Newsday, April 12, 1995 |
"In my opinion, Tim could do anything." - producer Lawrence Bender quoted in Vanity Fair magazine, September 1995 |
Tim Roth on being asked which of his films he liked the most: "The first one, 'Made in Britain.' That's where I lost my virginity. I'd always harbored the notion of doing film acting, more so than stage acting. I had the lead role, first time out. I'd never been in front of a camera before and I loved it. But it wasn't like I was working with an assh*le. I was working with one of the best British directors [the late Alan Clarke]." - from Interview magazine, February 1997 |
"It's only because of him [Alan Clarke] that I'm sitting here. His example took me through the entire film ['The War Zone']. Alan was wonderful with actors - you felt clutched, held close, protected. He had this absolute love for his performers and that's the atmosphere I was trying to create on set." - Roth quoted in Sight and Sound magazine, August 1999 |
"Tim Roth is aptly named, for there is inside him a kind of ever-simmering wrath, a voodoo anger that he has learned to channel through the prism of performance leaving a trail of irradiated punk characters in his wake." - Neil Norman writing in London's Evening Standard, Aug. 25, 1999 |
On his refusal to audition for any director (including Steven Spielberg in 1993), Roth told Empire in October 1999: "It's not an egotistical thing, I'm just crap at it. I figured I'd lose 50 per cent of the work by reading, or I'd lose 50 per cent of the work - happily - by not reading. Y'know, go and get a tape out of Blockbuster and see if I can speak. I mean, I'll meet with anybody, I don't mind that. But the process of auditioning, I really find too stressful." |
"Directing takes a good three years. I didn't want to be away that long. I was worried they wouldn't want me back." - Roth on why it took so long for him to make his directorial debut, quoted in The New York Times, Nov. 28, 1999 |

Are you interested in going abroad to study for a semester or a year? Even if you are a first or second year student and your junior year seems far away, it's not too early to begin thinking about where, when, and how you might go abroad.
Ideally, study abroad should be more than a pleasant change of academic scenery: it should provide you with the opportunity to expand and enrich your total course of study in ways not available at the College. This means that study abroad should factor into your plans as you begin to map out, at least tentatively, your four year college program and ponder the various alternatives. Language preparation is of critical importance and a potential obstacle when you do not plan ahead, especially if you are interested in studying in Chile, Costa Rica, or Senegal. Although there are some English speaking options, certain universities in Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and Japan also require language fluency. Have not yet completed your language requirement? You can do so at a number of programs abroad including Belgium, Italy, Nepal, Egypt, Morocco, and Korea.
Below are some of the issues to take into consideration. Past participants of international academic study programs have suggested that you begin your planning by thinking about these questions, and use all the campus information sources available to compile your own answers. Most students study abroad junior year, but students can study abroad as early as second semester sophomore year and as late as senior year.
"Leave thy home, o youth, and seek alien shores: A larger range of life is ordained for thee." - Petronius

I strongly recomend getting rid of securerom in the install. Then everyone can play, not just people who have the internet.
I strongly recomend getting rid of securerom in the install. Then everyone can play, not just people who have the internet.
Will most likely be Steamworks.
Live was pretty bad. Steam had problems too. Initial installation with setting up login etc having to be done once limits the pain.
Having to connect internet and login EVERY time to play (and being given the run around thru too many steps EVERY time (and not having it remember the login info require manual filling in EVERY time (BS2) is something I hope they dont do.
BS1 was so nice --- no login required, start game and go and no minutes waiting and no stuff to have to enter EVERY time.
I thought we got a promise from one of the company reps here that we WONT have any login required (or network?) (no excuse of 'achievements' or other MP related stuff (or 1999 mode glick) that they could use to justify steering you to their 'Store' and all that bother EVERY time .....
It will run on Steamworks.
Personally, I am absolutely fine with that because it means we don't have to put up with that glitchfest that is GFWL.
It's interesting how such a detail-oriented guy, such as yourself, becomes conveniently forgetful when one of your favorite topics comes up. Yes, you received a direct response from Irrational about this just a few months ago. HERE you go.
As as for your favorite quote about GFWL requiring login every time to play (nice to see you sticking with that--wasn't that the topic of your very first thread, too?), I'll repeat that it does not require a login to play in offline mode. Just because you couldn't get it to work doesn't mean it was designed that way. Most of us played offline just fine.
I commiserate with the annoyance of GFWL. Sure, I can choose to play in offline mode, but the the annoying Live popup will still appear every time I start the game so I have to click on it to get rid of it before I can actually start playing. Steam, on the other hand, has never caused me that kind of annoyance.
"""Just to clear up some confusion, 1999 Mode is simply an optional mode that does not require you to "sign-in" or have an internet connection to play. For more information, please refer to this post and the included links found here... http://irrationalgames.com/insider/y...for-1999-mode/"""
Technically it doesnt say anything about the regular game NOT requiring it (just the '1999 option'...). And my statement says that I remember somesuch being said (and I was assuming they were also promising the main game doesnt either).
Also its always good to ask again because these companies have more than once gotten a directive 'from on high' and change things like this suddenly. DLC is a significant part of profit generation these days and steering the other way means $$$$ that wont be going into certain peoples pockets - that those certain people probably dont like.
As for GFWL (on PC even after their patch) it still (as in yesterday) doesnt work to remember the auto login info or work offline (probably because its tied to the IE browser mechanism that I keep on high security so that it ditches persistant info and just buggy in general).
Just because I >>>> AND many other people <<<< had problems with it... The idea with software is to fix it so VERY few people have problems and the experience I had (and go back to look at all the others who complain about it) left a poor impression (sure they can blame it on Microsoft but THEY (IG/2K /whoever) were the ones who decided to use this buggy live system (and couldnt customize around it).
Even more fun - the DLC system. "Games for Windows Market Place" just updated with whatever the latest is (I had given up on it a year ago when I found it didnt work then either).
Downloading "Protector Trials" and upto 280MB of 970MB download and its aborted 6 times so far(oops 7 now just as Im typiing this -- gives an out of system memory error which is BS -- looks like a memory leak, how amateur - fail-a-tron of programming basics 101)
Restarting (and relogging in) it Over and Over. SERIOUSLY this is so lame they should be paying ME to be subjected to this buggy and very poor (for consumer grade) software of theirs .
(hmm just aborted yet again .... what will it be like if I DL soemthing 2GB long ??? and funny that little small print that says 'NO REFUNDS" ....even if you cant even get the DL to actually work???)
And yes what I thought I saw before, they are dependant on the IE installation and settings, so cranked up security will block their whole 'Marketplace' system.
I guess we get to see if Steam is less painful (the company loses $$$$ when the DLC system doesnt work --- whats that saying 'penny wise, pound foolish" ....
That sounds great. Hopefully the files won't be locked up as tight this time, maybe allow some modding or at least rendering? I'd assume not, but could always hope.

Product 1014/2179
Sometimes love means learning to walk all on your own. A terrible motorcycle accident leaves Kit in pain, living with his father and needing to teach his legs how to walk again. He's actually lucky to be alive, but don't try telling him that; Kit's too wrapped up in bitterness and pain to feel any sort of happiness. Neil knows exactly how lucky Kit is. As Kit's physiotherapist, he's seen the man's medical records, and knows a lot of people never recover after an accident such as Kit's. His job is to get Kit moving and to get him walking again, so when Neil finds himself attracted to Kit, he buries the feelings and focuses on the job. That's hard to do, though, when Kit starts falling for Neil in return. And starts making moves. Neil is determined to keep things professional between them, though, because he feels that Kit's recovery is far more important than a physical relationship. Can Neil teach Kit to walk again without either of them getting their hearts broken?

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.

Two University of Colorado students have been arrested for allegedly giving marijuana-laced brownies to classmates and an instructor without their knowledge.
CU police said officers on Friday responded to the Hellems Arts and Sciences Building on a report of a professor who was complaining of dizziness and going in and out of consciousness.
"Paramedics transported her to a local hospital. At about 4 p.m., a student's mother notified UCPD that her daughter (who was in the professor's class earlier that day) was having an anxiety attack and was at a local hospital," Police said in a statement.
Police said after investigating it was found that three hospitalized victims and five other classmates were suffering from the effects of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.
"Two students – Thomas Ricardo Cunningham, 21, and Mary Elizabeth Essa, 19 – baked THC-laced brownies for the class as part of a 'bring food day.' The professor and classmates were unaware that the brownies contained THC," police said.
Cunningham and Essa were arrested. They face charges of assault in the second degree, inducing consumption of controlled substances by fraudulent means, conspiracy to commit assault in the second degree, and conspiracy to commit inducing consumption of controlled substances by fraudulent means.
The instructor and the students have all recovered.
The case remains under investigation.

Visit the Colson Center A Resource for RenewalBy: Chuck Colson|Published: December 31, 2009 10:00 AM Topics: Colson Center I was thrilled recently to announce the launch of our new website—the Colson Center for Christian Worldview™—as I'm thrilled today with the response we're getting. listen now | downloadAs I have taught for years, Christianity is an all-encompassing worldview. It causes us to see the world in a way that shapes the way we live in the world. It shapes the way we evangelize and the way we disciple others. And it shapes the way we fulfill the cultural commission—carrying on the work of God as we cultivate and employ all the resources God has place at our disposal for the sake of His creation. This is why we have launched our exciting new website: ColsonCenter.org. I am absolutely thrilled that many thousands of BreakPoint listeners have visited ColsonCenter.org over the past few weeks. For those of you who haven't visited the site yet, I want to tell you exactly what you will find there—and what you will find in the future as the website grows. The heart of the Colson Center is the biblical worldview library. It is a vast, growing, interactive database that, as of today, contains more than 4,000 articles, sermons, and works by me and by many leading Christian writers ancient and modern. When you visit the library, you will be able to use a powerful search engine that will help you find works that will be of particular interest to you—whether you are interested in apologetics, in life issues, in media and culture, or any number of important worldview topics. One area of the website that has me really excited is leadership training—what we call the "Worldview Gym." You'll be able to register to receive personalized worldview training, complete with a personal trainer who can help you process and apply the things you will be learning through directed spiritual exercises. You'll also be able to join in live teleconferences on Scripture, contemporary issues, and engaging the culture. To keep you coming back for more every day, we will have daily features by great Christian writers and daily Scripture passages with commentary from a worldview perspective. I cannot recommend strongly enough that you sign up to receive the daily "ViewPoint" biblical commentaries by theologian T. M. Moore. I guarantee that T. M.—a man I have worked with for 25 years, and one of the brightest men I've ever known who has profoundly affected my spiritual walk—will help you see and apply the Scriptures in ways you've never imagined. I really see the Colson Center not just as a resource center for Christian worldview, but also as a portal to the larger renewal effort going on in the Church today. That's why we provide and feature links to other Christian organizations that are doing so much to advance the Gospel and renew the faith and vitality of the Church. Those are just some of the resources that you'll find at the Colson Center. But we're not done yet. In the coming months, we will have forums you can participate in, online classes, and a robust biblical worldview bookstore. I hope that you can sense just a little of the excitement that I have about this new endeavor—an effort I plan to devote my remaining years of ministry to. So please, join us at ColsonCenter.org. Visit the site today. And tell your friends and family about it. It is my earnest prayer that God would use this new center for the transformation of the culture, for the renewal of His Church—and most of all, for the glory of His name. This commentary originally aired October 9, 2009. Further Reading and Information

A Mexican former state governor accused of ties to drug cartels denied the allegations and said they were aimed at discrediting his party ahead of the July 1 presidential election.
The administration of lame-duck President Felipe Calderon is "trying to stigmatize the PRI as a party of criminals," Tomas Yarrington told MVS radio.
The PRI's candidate for president, Enrique Peña Nieto, enjoys a wide lead in the polls.
Yarrington, who governed the northern state of Tamaulipas from 1999-2004, said Calderon's government is pressuring the judiciary to issue a warrant for his arrest on the eve of next month's balloting.
U.S. federal prosecutors on May 22 filed forfeiture cases involving two properties in Texas - which borders Tamaulipas - they say Yarrington purchased via front men using bribes from drug cartels.
The U.S. Justice Department subsequently requested information from Mexico about Yarrington's net worth.
"In my persecution they are not seeking justice, there is deception," Yarrington said. "I don't have any relationship with organized crime, I haven't received bribes, have not provided protection to any criminal nor have I carried out money laundering activities."
The former governor also reiterated earlier affirmations by his U.S. lawyer that he does not own the Texas properties targeted in the forfeiture cases.
The Mexican Attorney General's Office has had Yarrington's bank accounts frozen and is aggressively investigating both him and his successor in Tamaulipas, Eugenio Hernandez.
"Maliciously, they have been leaking that the assets and firms of Tamaulipas businessmen belong to me, with the intent of leaving the impression that I have immense net worth, which is absolutely false," Yarrington told MVS.
"In their desperation to boost (ruling party) candidate (Josefina Vazquez Mota), they slander and hurt people and firms in the state of Tamaulipas," he said.
The Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, governed Mexico without interruption from 1929-2000 and is expected to regain the presidency in next month's vote, ending 12 years of rule by the rightist National Action Party.
Last October, Calderon suggested in an interview with The New York Times that some PRI members would be susceptible to making deals with organized crime if the party returned to power.
It is generally accepted that PRI administrations brokered agreements among rival drug cartels to prevent bloody turf battles of the kind that have become routine in Mexico over the last five years.
Peña Nieto's frontrunner status in the presidential race is due in part to Mexicans' frustration over persistently high levels of drug-related violence throughout Calderon's term.
Calderon militarized the struggle against Mexico's heavily armed, well-funded drug mobs shortly after taking office in December 2006, deploying tens of thousands of troops across the country.
The strategy has led to headline-grabbing captures of cartel kingpins, but the accompanying violence has claimed more than 50,000 lives.

Site Review For The Purr Company
Posted 25 January 2007 - 09:58 AM
Is this site completed or under construction?
Completed - as much as these things ever are!
If completed:
How long has the site been up?
The shopping section has had a major upgrade which was completed this week. Excluding other modifications and additions this version has been up since March last year.
Do you have incoming links?
Some, but getting more is definitely high on the priorities list
What keywords are you targeting?
Pretty much every page has at least one keyphrase, but there's too many to mention them all here.
A sample of the ones I have targetted directly from research are purr, cat beds, cat gifts, cat nip, catnip, cat products, cat supplies, cat supply, cat toys, cat treats, catnip, catnip toys, cats funny pics, cats funny pictures, cute cat pictures, cute kitten pictures, feline. (these were all done before the new products were added to the shopping section)
The keyword research I have done has thrown up a number of seemingly good suggestions, but I've found the most effective (i.e. ranking/traffic generating) keywords/phrases have been the longtail ones that happened by accident, for instance 'what is catnip' brings in some good traffic, as does 'why do cats purr' and 'funny cats'.
Although I totally accept the value of good keyword research, my own research (or maybe my implementation of it) doesn't seem to have benefitted us anywhere near as much as the accidental phrases, so I recently been trying the approach of (where applicable) using the most effective phrases from our stats as a guide for what phrases to target, and that seems to work pretty well.
For new pages where the content doesn't fit with the stats we already have (e.g. some articles and some of the new shopping/product pages) I'm trying the approach of using the phrases I think describe/fit the content of the page and wait to see what comes back before targeting any specific phrases. I was pleased to find that, on doing a little research after making the new product pages, some of the phrases I've used would have been good contenders had I researched the keywords in the way I previously had, so I'm hopefull that we'll get some good results - although there's nothing that cannot be improved!
Do you want your code reviewed for errors or improvements?
certainly. I don't think there's much wrong with it, but if you spot anything amiss I'd be grateful of the info.
Who is your target audience? Think about:
Age Range
Income/Education level
I can make some generalisations that would apply to maybe 50% of our current customers. I'm of the opinion that we can increase that percentage by targetting those generalisations and create a virtuous circle, but so far it hasn't seemed to have a measurable effect.
It's difficult to be too specific about some of this stuff because there seems to be a huge range - all sorts of people own cats, as they are independent enough not to need too much looking after but affectionate enough that you can spend a lot of time with them if you can spare it.
The generalisations are: -
Women (just to contradict myself, this is actually more like 75%)
Aged 20-50
Caring people who have an interest in humanist subjects, such as animal welfare and the environment
Family people who have either already got commitments to family members, such as kids or older people, or would like those type of relationships.
Eccentrics - a lot of our customers and certainly everyone that works here is a bit eccentric - especially when it comes to their cats!
Morally concious people who would rather pay a little more for something that is exploitation free and/or of a higher quality.
Also, 90% of our custoemrs are in the UK. We are happy to sell outside the UK but for many reasons we are concentrating our efforts on the UK for now.
Why is your site different from sites selling/offering similar info/goods/services? Why will someone want to do business you?
We have a unique product (Purr) and are building our brand to reflect integrity, high quality and good customer care
How important is usability?
Quite important in general terms, but I think most of our customers are quite comfortable with the web.
What is the purpose of the site? (inform, sell, online community, support B&M business, contact info only, etc)
Primarily to sell, but that is largely a practicallity that allows us to continue what we do. Our secondary objective is to engage and inform people, to help them become better cat carers.
Do you want design suggestions?
Posted 25 January 2007 - 10:10 AM
I like your graphics and colourscheme! Nice cat graphics...
Sorry I cant fault it, others might! Maybe I will send some pics of my cats in to try for a sample

Posted 25 January 2007 - 12:29 PM
Catnip, and it's relatives are all a part of the mint family -- Lose the comma, and "it's" should be "its".
Since "Catnip" isn't a brand name, there's no reason to capitalize it when it's not the first word in a sentence.
The reaction to Catnip usually lasts about 5 minutes or less, with a 'cool off' period of about 2 hours, before they return and have the same reaction again -- The quotation marks around "cool off" don't match each other.
Posted 25 January 2007 - 02:00 PM
Linux_lover - we'd love to have your cat pictures for the gallery so please do send them
Maka - funnily enough I was doing some usability testing the other day and one of the testers was a little confused by the menu expander, so we've been discussing that feature and trying to decide if there is a better way. Your comment is very helpful.
Feel free to re-use my code, and if you need any help getting it to work just PM me and I'll do what I can. It was a bit of a pain to get it working on some of the sub-pages in different folders but I found a good php work around which may be of some use if you encounter problems.
Qwerty - I can't disagree. I've done my best with proof reading but sometimes you get too close to spot these things. Can I ask, is it possible that some of the spellings/grammar are an English/American thing? I'm fairly sure I've spell checked every page before putting them up, but I certainly could have missed a few, and you're definitely right about the unnecessary comma and capitalisation. Can you (or anyone) reccomend an English proof reader?
Regarding the its/it's situation, (and kinda going off topic) do you know of a difinitive source for these sort of rules? I've discussed this with a Swedish friend who has learned a lot of her English from formal teaching and actually has better spelling and grammar than most English people I know. She says the same as you, as do a number of other people I have asked, so I'm sure what you're saying is not incorrect, but I was taught that in this situation "it's" is an abbreviation from the old English "it his" to demonstrate a posessive property of the "it" in question, making "it's" perfectly acceptable, if not definitive.
I know I'm dissapearing up where the sun doesn't shine with this level of concern, but I would like to know nonetheless
Anyways, back on topic, thanks for taking the time to review the site, any more critiques are welcome
Posted 25 January 2007 - 02:17 PM
Posted 25 January 2007 - 06:16 PM
One thing that I notice is that i immediately think your site home page is a product page for a bottle of Purr. Not the main shop front.
I think that the bottle of elixir would have been better as one of your 'superior products' in a side box, and the copy on the main page (that's not there at the moment), describing what you are about and what you can offer your customers.
Although Purr is your main product, i still think that your home page should say something more comprehensive (but i am not qualified to say what, sorry)
At the moment, I think the search engines will think your site is about catnip, which may be what you want (but i don't think so), as you have the word in your meta title tag and 3 times in your copy.
I always click the logo to go home (pure laziness :-) but can't with yours.
I personally like the menu system, but i was a coward when i was thinking of using it as i wasn't sure whether people would understand what to do, and i'm not sure how the bots will follow the links.
I clicked on the cat bed page and had a look to see what where you have the keyphrase 'cat bed' and was surprised to see -
'The Purr Company Shop - Cat toys, treats and other cat fun!!' in the title tag.
Looking at other pages, you have the same wording in your title tags. Not good! ( i know that for sure :-)
You need to have individual wording in every title tag, reflecting the keyphrase you want to rank for and obviously describing the page it's on.
I would list all your shopping pages on your sitemap
I am sorry it's all negative, i know how depressing this is, having been through a site review myself and got quite a few critiques (all helpful stuff and a lot of work ahead of me :-)
I think you have a good thing going especially as you seem to have a unique product.
Good luck

Your home page could use some more copy. How about testimonials from happy cats? Give me an overview of the mewsletter, the cat stories and the photo galleries to entice me to look around the site some more and not run off.
I see your price is in pounds... a small disclaimer underneath stating your delivery area would be nice. (UK only? International? EU? )
I'd separate the free Mewsletter and free Ebooks headings... free Mewsletter with the Mewsletter paragraph and *Bonus Free Ebooks with the Ebooks paragraph. I'd also probably make the headings for those stand out a little with a brighter color to attract the eye. [More info] is nice, but get them to give you an email address NOW by adding a signup box right there with a call to action instead of making them read more about it on another page first.
Echo horsetags on the logo not being linked.
Love the graphics! Very cute.
OK... I was about to click away from the site when I realized... you sell more than one product!! I had no idea. If I hadn't clicked the shopping link out of curiosity, I would have left the site thinking you carried only one item. I realize Purr may be the best thing you have, but integrate some thumbnails and links to other categories on the home page as well to lead customers to related items.
Get rid of the expandable menu... it's hiding your merchandise. If you only do one thing, get rid of the expander and let people see what you have to sell. That is a huge issue.
Consider adding breadcrumb links to help shoppers navigate back up a level and to help with SEO- more internal links help.
There's no shipping policies page anywhere- I have to put something in my cart and choose my country before I can confirm that you ship to my country and how much I might expect to pay.
If you plan to sell much internationally, you may want to integrate a currency converter or at least an estimator.
Overall, an adorable site. Good work!
Posted 26 January 2007 - 07:00 AM
Seriously though, good site, I'm fascinated by this sort of thing and was stuck there for quite a while. I'll definitely pass the address on to my Swedish friend.
Linux_lover - Thanks, found some interesting articles on the suckerfish menus, I'll be looking at their code in more detail later.
Horsetags & Scottie - thanks for the feedback, you've both made some very valid points.
Thanks again to everyone, work has already begun on some of the changes!

That is a major selling point in my eyes and I would like to see that in the star product description on the main page, rather than at the bottom of a subpage.
I would also like to know about the odor, is it odorless, if not what is the odor?
Edited by 1fast72nova, 08 March 2007 - 01:07 AM.
Posted 08 March 2007 - 06:43 AM
For those who contributed to this thread before, thanks for the suggestions, many of them have been implemented. If you'd like to take another look and see if you think I've done a good job (or otherwise) I'd appreciate your opinions :-)
John H - I'm not totally sure what you mean by template - could you expand on this a little? maybe also give some specifics, like which elements/characteristics are boring and what is boring about them? (Maybe even what you think would improve things?)
1fast72nova - good suggestion about the natural ingredients bit, I'll have a look at that. I'm not sure what I can say about the odour that would have any meaning to a reader - it's fairly unique (to me, anyway), it's pretty pungent, and as with Marmite some people love it, some people hate it (although obviously most cats love it ) - does that tell you anything useful?
Thanks again

Adult ImmunizationsYou're never too old for shots!Immunizations are not just for children. Adults need to receive immunizations as well. Each year thousands of adults are infected with vaccine-preventable diseases. According to the National Coalition for Adult Immunization, more than 40,000 adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases or their complications. To reduce the risk of illness, the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District recommends the following immunizations for adults: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine: A series of three doses recommended for women through age 26. Ideally, vaccine should be administered before potential exposure to HPV through sexual activity; however, females who are sexually active should still be vaccinated. Sexually active females who have not been infected with any of the HPV vaccine types receive the full benefit of the vaccination. Vaccination is less beneficial for females who have already been infected with one or more of the HPV vaccine types. Herpes Zoster Vaccine: A single dose of zoster vaccine is approved for adults aged >50 years regardless of whether they report a prior episode of herpes zoster. Persons with chronic medical conditions may be vaccinated unless a contraindication or precaution exists for their condition. Tetanus-Diphtheria-Pertussis (Tdap): Single dose for persons 19-64 years of age to replace next booster dose of Td. Also for adults who have close contact with infants less than 12 months old. This vaccine protects against the following diseases in adults:
Influenza (Flu): One dose yearly for all adults, especially persons 50 years and older. Recommendation may change yearly depending on availability of vaccine. Pneumococcal (Pneumonia): Vaccinate all persons with the following indications: Revaccination with PPSV23: Tetanus-Diphtheria (Td): Booster every 10 years for all adults. Hepatitis A (Hep A): Two doses at least 6 months apart for adults at-risk. Hepatitis B (Hep B): Three doses (begin first dose/second dose 1 month later/third dose 5 months after second dose) for adults at-risk. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR): One dose recommended for adults born in 1957 or later if that person was not previously immunized. (Second dose is required in some work and all school settings.) Meningococcal (Meningitis): Two meningococcal vaccines are available in the United States: 1) Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (MPSV4) for adults 56 years and above, and; 2) Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) for adults through age 55. Both vaccines can prevent four strains of meningococcal disease, including 2 of the 3 types most common in the United States and a type that causes epidemics in Africa. Revaccination after 5 years might be indicated for adults previously vaccinated with MPSV4 who remain at high risk for infection (e.g., persons residing in areas in which disease is epidemic).

Marrakech Moroccan Restaurant
Online Reservations
Had amazing food good service only issue is it is very loud so hard to carry conversations but well worth it
My father has been going to this restaurant (whenever he has a chance to visit Las Vegas) for years and has always spoken highly of it. Now I know why!!!! It was an absolutely wonderful evening!!! I took my dear friend here for her birthday. We had a fabulous experience. They even played a happy birthday song for her as our dessert was served!!!! The atmosphere and decore is amazing. The food was delicious and I loved the authentic manner in which it is served and presented. I can't wait to go on a romatic date here with my husband!!!
Had a great time with our group of 5 for a bachelorette party! Highly recommended!
Service was exceptional and attentive. Perhaps a little too much food. Dancer was good and enjoyed by customers (two routines at one time would have been good).
Awesome and unforgettable!!! I'll be taking more friends again really soon!!
We visited Las Vegas for five days and this event was the highlight of our trip. Yes, we enjoyed it even more than the two Cirque du Soleil shows we saw! The ambience was very cool and Middle Eastern - not as dark as we thought it would be. The food was delicious and in good quantity. The service prompt and helpful in explaining how things would progress (hand washing, courses, etc.) The belly dancer was also superb - she was talented, lively, and beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely include this in our itinerary for our next trip to Vegas. Strongly recommend to those who want to do something different than a buffet or normal sit-down meal.
We had an over abundance of yummy food! This place was awesome for our bachelorette group!
Amazing food, good service and fun atmosphere. We did the prefex menu, and it was perfect!
Loved restaurant for its ambiance. Unique flavor of the north west Africa. Good price for groups, belly dancing was nice touch. Most of the food was very good, except for the main course - for my taste was a little dull and dry. Wonderful appetizers though, desert and tea:). Definitely worth visiting. Would come there again
Our group of seven went on a Saturday night. We had the six course meal and man it's a lot of food! We all agreeed that the shrimp first course was the best. The sauce and bread alone was enough to satisfy. Tip...... don't fill up on bead the last three courses are enormous! The Belly dancers were amazing. I will definitely come back on my next visit to Vegas.
The food and the atmosphere were amazing! The meats were the delicious! The only drawback for me was they served a ton of bread and the dessert for two could've fed four people. Enjoyed the belly dancer performance.
This is a wonderful adult or older child restaurant. It is like being inside a tent with bench seating and chairs. The tables are low and your eating utensils are your fingers.. We did the 6 course meal and all of it was very good. There is an excellent belly dancer that preforms during dinner. I do not recommend this restaurant for the younger child crowd. It is low level lighting and an intimate atmosphere.
This is truly a dining experience. This is my second time first was in California. I was very happy with everything. The only thing which I considered a negative which is not really a negative at all but they serve Sooooo much food that a lot of it could go to waste. We were from out of town and staying in a hotel with no fridge. There were 4 of us and I would say we had enough left over for another 4!!! We ended up giving it to our cab driver. I was happy it was not going to waste.
I had a great experience. The ambience was very special and my friends and I really had a good time. The staff was incredibly friendly. The food was spectacular. I look forward to going back.
I took my husband here for the 1st time to celebrate his birthday. It was a great experience. Food was plentiful, ambiance was warm & inviting and the belly dancer was great entertainment. I would recommend everyone to visit at least once. Be ready to eat, and shake your belly w/ the dancers!!
You gave to go! Take a moment go enjoy something and exciting.
Easy fixed menu. Delicious 6 course meal and entertained by belly dancers. Waiters are attentive and friendly. This is not a quick dinner though, so plan on staying and enjoying the ambiance !
I would definitely go back. Fun with a group of friends.
We took my husband to this place for his birthday with a group of friends and it was the best place ever! You get a six-course meal for a really reasonable price. The dancers are really good and they really involve you in their dancing. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do something different.
We enjoyed our evening at Marrakech , it was out of the ordinary for something different and tasty as well. Our favorite was the shrimp appetizer and the beef kabob. It was entertaining and good food.
I was very impressed as soon as I entered the restaurant, the atmosphere made you feel like you were actually in Morocco. The service is friendle and quick, you are not rushed and the live entertainment,(belly dancers) a really liven the place up.
I've been to Marrakech several times. It seems they have changed a few things on the menu. Beef was a little tougher and dessert wasn't the thin pastry that I loved. Overall we still love the ambiance and had a great time. We recommend to first timers and will definitely go back.
This was a great find. The fixed menu was a bonus and the entire experience was outstanding.
This is a great place to go if you want something good and different. The entertainment is unique and the food is exotic and new. Everything was delicious and vibrant, with an ambiance that fits well with the theme. It was a truly memorable experience that my family and I will carry with us for a long time.
I've always loved your restaurant and have celebrated my 20th and now 26th birthday there! The food is always so delicious, the servers are very kind and gracious, and your bellydancers are some of the best in the entire city (Aradia is a true gem and has taught her ladies well). I suggest your restaurant to everyone who wants to enjoy a Moroccan experience!
I was looking for an eclectic restaurant off the strip to take my brother's 21st. When you walk into the restaurant, it is like walking into a tent in the middle east. Be prepared for your six course food fest. The first thing to come out was the lemon garlic shrimp. The shrimp tasted fresh, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The next course was a tasty bowl of lentil soup followed by an veggie hummus platter. By the way, did I mention you get to eat this with your hands? We also had steak satay and a chicken veggie dish that was so savory I still can't stop thinking about it. The last course was dessert and it was kind of like a giant baklava-so tasty but by that point we could literally not will ourselves to shovel more food into our faces.
We wanted to intentionally find a place off the strip - everyone offers a similar buffet for a meh-level quality of food. Enter Marrakech. I hadn't had Moroccan food in a while and I found this place to be a great experience. Starting with a rose-water hand wash at the table, assisted by the waiter, we got a prix fixe 6-course meal that was excellent! Shrimp scampi, skewered beef, hummus, and so much more. Their chocolate/walnut/banana dessert baked in a filo-style breading was phenomenal despite being stuffed to the gills. But the restaurant was more than just food, as it also had live belly dancing with full costumes by two lovely, clearly experienced dancers. Overall an excellent experience!
Went here with my friends for my birthday and had such an awesome time. Food was great. Loved that it was small and intimate dinning. Belly dancers were a lot of fun. I definitely will be back.
I was recently in Las Vegas for a belly dance festival and came across this restaurant which we thought would be fun to get us in the mood. The decor is gorgous and makes you feel like you are in the middle east with lovely tapestries, cloth ceiling, warm colours and low couches. The meal was excellent with many courses to give us a nice selection of various flavours. The meal began and ended with our hands being washed in warm rose water. The service was excellent and the waiters were friendly and efficient. My friend can't have gluten or red meat and they provided her with lovely versions of the meal and were excellent at adapting the meals to her specific requirements. The belly dancing was fantastic and the dancer was so nice. LOVED IT
This place has been a Family tradition for years and this tradition continued with visit by my wife and I. It was an excellent experience worth every dollar. Marrakech Moroccan Restaurant is an experience replete with Belly Dancers, great music & food, and intimacy. Plan to stay about 2-hour or more as this place is not McDonald's...
If you haven't tried Moroccan food before this is the best place to go! There was eleven people in our party and we enjoyed the food and service.
The service was great the staff was exceptional and the belly dancer was extraordinary!!!!!
If you like Moroccan food, you will be very pleased with Marrakech. Go with a big appetite, because the portions are large. Even better than the food, is the ambiance. The restaurant is like a little piece of Morocco. The music is excellent, and there's usually a belly dancer. The staff is very nice, and friendly. They were very accommodating to my dietary restrictions (no meat or dairy). My fiance and I had a great time. WeI'll definitely be returning to Marrakech. Next time, we'll bring a bunch of friends,
The food was outstanding, and the service s very good. They kept true to original pre-fix menu and even after all these years, they also stayed true, to the quality. The only complaints I had, was I booked on OT and wasn't the ideal time. So I called the restaurant and they said there was no way for them to move us to 6:30. When we arrived, the restaurant hadn't got very busy due to 6pm reservation. By the time we left, the room was still not busy, and could have easily have accommodated us for the time we preffered.
We had a party of 14, and it was so much fun! Beautiful girls, excellent food and service! Highly recommended!
atmosphere catapulted us back to a moroccan tent....loved the belly dancing and the audience participation. It was the perfect spot for a friend's 50th birthday........made lots of memories.
pre fix menu - plenty to fill you. dinner and entertainment in one. food was good, there were 5 of us and when it came to the last course we were already full so we had it packed up.
We went on a recommendation from a friend. The food was great and a lot of it! Be sure to pace yourself or you'll be full before the main course! Loved the desert! The entertainment is icing on the cake! The dances make it look so easy and they are always smiling. We can't wait to go again!
Tasteful and artistic decors. Great service. Great food. Wonderful entertainment. Overall, an outstanding and exotic experience.
This was my girlfriends forth time at Marrakech, but my first visit. I certainly can see what the attraction is, & why she insists on going to eat there every time she visits Las Vegas. The service is wonderful, the food fantastic, the entertainment well above anything I expected, & the over all experience was one I will definitely repeat. It was a highlight of our vacation.
Great spot to meet w/ friends, have a conversation w/ some great food & entertainment. I forgot I was in Vegas.
A friend of ours had her parents in from out of town. Marrakech was a unique experience that everyone enjoyed. The food was excellent and was healthy on top of it. The service was great and so was the belly dancing!
We have been coming to Marrakech for more than 20 years....every time we come back to Las Vegas we try to drop by. Food is good, service is great, but the main reason you'll want to go to Marrakech is for the experience, complete with belly dancers and late night hookah.
A little gem off the strip, this place has it all. The Moroccan ambience, the music, an incredeble 6-course fixed menu that tastes like home made. The belly dancers, beautiful and fun! It was a fantastic experience for my husband and I that we will repeat next time we visit Vegas.
We chose to enjoy a wedding dinner here and did, with relish. Glad we came.
The ambiance was excellent. The service was superb and very timely. Entertainment (belly dancing) was performed by professional dancer and very pleasant. The six-course meal was more than enough, and very delicious. Enjoyed the whole experience! Will definitely return.
Every single course was excellent, flavourful, perfect size proportion and completely different from the previous one - and healthy too! We loved the traditional height of the Morrocan tables and the entertainment was skillful and fun. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for healthy quality food with interesting flavours.
We have been there every time we visiit Vegas and it's always; great food, great service, and good entertainment. This trip was no different. Made our reservations on Open Table. Arrived a little early, they seated us right away. Service was great and food was outstanding. Their entertainment is always an attractive and very talented belly dancer. She did 2 performances during the meal. She even had my wife get up and try a little with her. Got photos and all. It was fun! GO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! You won't be disappointed.
Both the food and the service need some work. The vegetables with the couscous were way overcooked and the pastilla was lacking somehow - I didn't care for the banana filling. There were 7 at our table - 3 men and 4 women. The men were always served first which put several of the women off. We were never asked if we wanted another drink so most of us only had one. We probably would have drank more had we been asked. The cushioned benches are great but the new chairs are too high for the tables and the ones who were sitting in them said they weren't all that comfortable either. The first 3 courses were delicious - best soup and hummus in town! The belly dancer was very entertaining and the overall ambiance is fun and exotic.
A fabulous way to experience dining in Morocco. Ambience, belly dancing entertainment, food everything was amazing experience. Thank you and will be back soon!

En español | Once upon a time, adventure travel meant trekking expeditions through uncharted wastelands and rafting explorations along unnamed rivers. But in the past half-century, the adventure travel industry has expanded to include "soft adventures" that span the spectrum from easy hikes to arduous treks. Here are three walking vacations that indicate the rich range of trips that virtually all active travelers can enjoy.
Two pricing caveats:
- Adventure travel companies generally do not include the cost of transportation to and from their trips' departure points, so when you are budgeting for a trip, you need to factor in that cost.
- Also, not all itineraries include all meals. Before booking a trip, read the itinerary closely to determine if there are any extra meal and other costs you will need to include in your budget.
Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks (Backroads.com)
Travelers get to explore two of the American Southwest's most mesmerizing national parks on this trip, with an itinerary that offers a range of mileage options: If you're ready for a full day of hiking, you can walk more than seven miles on some days, but if you'd like to take it easy, you can walk as little as two miles one day and four on some others. It's up to you.
See Also: Frommer's Guide, Grand Canyon
Whatever option you take, the countryside you'll pass through will be spectacular: rugged orange, red and pink rock formations, river-carved canyons and Navajo sandstone cliffs, plus Bryce's iconic hoodoos (tall, thin spires of rock).
Highlights include an invigorating splash through the river section known as the Narrows in Zion and soaring views from Angels Landing, plus a local expert's insights on the lessons revealed in this living geological classroom.
Accommodations are at two fine lodges: the riverside Desert Pearl Inn, overlooking the cliffs of Zion, and the National Historic Landmark Bryce Canyon Lodge, near the canyon rim. This six-day, five-night trip offers four departures in September and October, and costs start at $2,298 per person, double occupancy (add $570 for single occupancy). Departure point is St. George, Utah.

What is the best medium for sending feature requests? Both for Ubuntu as a whole and individual (supported) apps?
Individual Applications For individual apps, the best way is not Brainstorm, but filing a bug requests or feature request in the individual applications. Some upstream development portals might be having explicit feature for asking user ideas but most of them use their bug tracker for that. Example, you want a new feature in Or before filing bugs for wishlist, you might want to talk to the devs of the particular application. You can look at their mailing list or IRC channel. Ubuntu For Ubuntu, as Octavian mentioned Brainstorm is supposed to be a good platform, but sadly most of the ideas are neglected. Recently Canonical CTO Matt Zimmerman mentioned that | |||||
The Ubuntu Brainstorm Site was set-up for just this purpose. Users could suggest new features and others could comment and vote on these. This site is not in use any more and in practice when it was few suggestions made it into Ubuntu. Depending on the type of request reporting a bug on Launchpad may be appropriate. If its a request for a minor change file a bug stating its a "wish list" and what you would like. Wish list bugs tend to be low priority though. It may be better to try and find the upstream developers for that package and contact them directly. If the feature: is can we include this package in the repositories you file a bug for that too and tag the bug "needs packaging" see here Finally if you are a developer you way wish to consider the Blueprint Process documented here also managed in Launchpad | |||||

What's the difference between JavaScript and Java?
locked by Robert Harvey♦ Mar 20 '12 at 20:40
This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
Java and Javascript are similar like Car and Carpet are similar. | |||||||||||||||||||||
One is essentially a toy, designed for writing small pieces of code, and traditionally used and abused by inexperienced programmers. The other is a scripting language for web browsers. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Here are some differences between the two languages:
Here are some features that I think are particular strengths of JavaScript:
| |||||||||||||
Take a look at the Wikipedia link | |||
Everything. JavaScript was named this way by Netscape to confuse the unwary into thinking it had something to do with Java, the buzzword of the day, and it succeeded. The two languages are entirely distinct. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||
In addittion to being entirely different languages, in my experience:
(But this may just have more to do with my preference of functional programming over OO programming... ;) | |||||
Everything. They're unrelated languages. | |||||||||||||
They are independent languages with unrelated lineages. Brendan Eich created Javascript originally at Netscape. It was initially called Mocha. The choice of Javascript as a name was a nod, if you will, to the then ascendant Java programming language, developed at Sun by Patrick Naughton, James Gosling, et. al. | |||
Like everybody's saying, they're pretty much entirely different. However, if you need a scripting language for your Java application, Javascript is actually a really good choice. There are ways to get Javascript running in the JVM and you can access and manipulate Java classes pretty seamlessly once you do. | |||
Don't be confused with name.. Both are fully different languages!!! | ||||
Practically every PC in the world sells with at least one JavaScript interpreter installed on it. Most (but not "practically all") PCs have a Java VM installed. | |||
A Re-Introduction to Javascript by the Mozilla team (they make Firefox) should explain it. | |||||
