Appweb 3: Embedded Webserver with JavaScript Framework
The embedded webserver Appweb is available in version 3.0. The new release improves performance, introduces a server-side JavaScript framework and runs on more operating systems than ever before.
The significant addition to the Appweb application from Embedthis Software is its homegrown JavaScript framework, Ejscript. The server-side script language implementation complies with the ECMAScript 3 specification. It also supports the model/view/controller (MVC) paradigm and provides object-relational mapping (ORM) with the included SQLite database.
The developers also claim to have doubled the webserver's speed. Appweb 3 runs on Linux, Windows 7, Vista and XP, Mac OS X, VxWorks, Free BSD and Windows CE. The server uses as little as 800 KBytes memory so that it is perfect for embedded devices. The build system provides full cross-compilation support for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Supported processors are ARM, MIPS, x86/x86_64, PowerPC, SuperH and Sparc. Next to the newest Linux kernel 2.6, Appweb also supports Linux 2.4.
Appweb 3 provides numerous webserver functions such as CGI, PHP and SSL. The project page shows the list of features. The software is under GPLv2 and also a commercial license with support and a warranty. Binaries and source code are available for free download, with complete packages for Fedora/Red Hat and Debian/Ubuntu.

Tile Game mini replaces the futility of tile solitaire - face it, you may never actually clear all the tiles - with the excitement of amassing a potentially huge score even with a stalemated game.
Each pair of removed tiles alters your score in a mathematical manner: remove "+5" to increase your score by five; remove "-9" to decrease your score by nine; remove "x3" to triple your score; and remove "/2" to cut your score in half. (Remove a set of four un-numbered tiles to earn one of two special scoring bonuses.)
Your challenge is no longer to minimize the number of tiles, but to maximize the number of points.
Note: more...

URL Hunter is an experimental game created by Corey Johnson at GitHub. In this game, the game screen is your URL bar. Play this very simple yet interesting game using Left/Right Arrow keys and Spacebar.
The game strategy is to kill the "animals" i.e. character "a" visible in your address bar by moving "O", represents you, using left/right arrow keys and hitting spacebar on target. Look at the screenshot above. The number of animals you killed in 30 seconds will be displayed in the address bar.
Corey Johnson, who has worked at Maxis, the studio behind games like The Sims and SimCity earlier, created this game in his leisure.

|sleeve saltine crackers
|cup brown sugar
|cup butter
|package chocolate chips
|cup chopped pecans (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a 10" x 15" with foil (the kind of sheet that has raised edges!). Spray with Pam, or grease VERY lightly with butter. Cover the cookie sheet with a single layer of saltines. Bring butter and brown sugar to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring with a whisk. Pour over the saltines, and try to spread it as evenly as possible. Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. When you remove it, the caramel mixture will be molten and boiling; allow to cool about 3 min, or until you can see the crackers distinctly, which will have shifted while baking. Push them back into order with a fork or knife. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the toffee and let sit for about 5 minutes to melt. Once melted spread chocolate evenly. If desired, sprinkle on pecans and press lightly into the chocolate. Let cool a bit and then transfer to fridge to harden. Once hard, break the candy into small pieces and place in containers.

Harmony and the close neighbourhood:
Harmony is a familiar hotel of high quality, a place where you can feel good, and where you can spend your family vacation. The quality and the high aesthetics, the top equipment and the friendly service of the owner and the personal make Harmony be a desired vacation destination. We speak German, English and French. The price and service balance is very reasonable here, as the luxury doesn't need to be expensive. Harmony is located 100 m from the picturesque bathing bay of Longos, close to the small port Egion in the Peloponnese, apart from mass tourism. Here you can find beach taverns with Greek dishes and nice coffee bars. The center of the typical Greek town (1000 inhabitants) is only 350 m away. There you can find comfortable coffee bars, taverns and shopping facilities. The picturesque bathing beaches of Akoli and Lambiri, with its beach localities are in the close neighbourhood of Longos. Good bus connections are available.
Harmony and the landscape: Coastline and Mountains.
The characteristics of the landscape are the fertility of the plain, covered with lemon, orange and olive trees, the viniculture regions (especially Corinth) on hills and mountains. In this mountainous region, you can find the typical mountainous villages, hidden mountain monasteries and antique cities. In the background, the Chelmos mountainous chain (2300 m) unfolds itself, and there is also a ski region from January until March. On the foot of mountain Chelmos, there is the famous mountainous town Kalavryta, which can be reached from the coastal town Diakofto with a cog railway, which drives you through the wonderful protected natural park of Vouraikos. The famous port Patra is 25 km away. It is the third biggest port in Greece and it is well known for its historical center, castle and the dome St. Andrew, the Roman Odeon where there are festivals even today. Near Patras, there is the longest suspension bridge in Europe.
Day Excersions from Harmony to the most important antique cities in Greece:
The convenient geographical location of Harmony offers the possibility to our guests to visit the antique cities of Greece, such as Olympia, Delphi, Corinth, Epidaurus, Mycenae and Athena during a day trip.
The small town Aegion with ca. 30.000 inhabitants (Kapital of Egialia) is 7 km away from Harmony. It used to be the capital of the Archaic Federation, and together with the 2300 year old Helike, an important trade city in Greece. Nowadays, Aegion is an active small town, exporting port for Corinth wines and olives, and importing port for bananas. Aegion ist he capital of the province Aegialia, at the Corinth Gulf. Our region has a rich antique history.

I'm going to start out today with a very strong personal statement: I'm disgusted with the way society is sexualizing our children! I see it daily in marketing mailers, on television, in the movies, and in current popular music. In short, we're deluged by a tsunami of soft-core porn masquerading as art, music and advertising. The result, in my opinion, is the abuse and contamination of our young. I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will disagree when they read this, but I'm willing to bet that there are a lot more of you out there who strongly agree.
I'm not a prude, and I think there is a time and a place for sex-based discussion or literature. But they should never involve our children. To show my disdain, I abstain from filling the pockets of those who offend my sense of decency with my hard-earned money. I feel very protective of our young, and I will never support any venture that uses children in sexual or suggestive ways. With that said, my message today is really more of a cathartic experience for me. So what do you think? Am I a prude and out of touch with today's reality? Or are you just as disgusted as I am about this unacceptable societal turn?

Tweeting Trash Gives Mark Cuban Good PR
Mark Cuban received a $25,000 fine on Sunday from the NBA after tweeting trash on his Twitter page. Cuban complained that the referees didn't call a technical foul on Nuggets guard J.R. Smith for taunting Antoine Wright after a missed shot during the Mavericks 103-101 loss to Denver on Sunday.
Lesson learned: There is a price to pay for talking and now apparently tweeting trash. Social networking sites are not unnoticed. Twitter and Mark Cuban's PR rating just went through the roof. Something is working. 13,000 people apparently subscribe to Cuban's Twitter page and I'm sure even more will now because of his Twranting!

The Rugby Football Union today made 16 recommendations to eliminate cheating from the sport.
The Image of the Game Task Group has put forward measures it believes will help restore the reputation of the game.
After four weeks of investigation, including a survey of professional players and 4,500 responses from grassroots rugby, RFU President and Task Group Chairman John Owen said: "The aspiration of the Task Group was to eliminate cheating in all its forms across the game. This is vital if we are to rebuild the image of the game.
"The extent of the information gathered and the positive response to the surveys shows how much people care about rugby and thanks should go to the Professional Rugby Players Association and Premier Rugby Ltd for their support and contribution.
"As a task group we were determined to act decisively for the good of the sport and we believe that the recommendations, born out of findings and opinions from across all levels of the game, will enable us to do that.
"These are well thought out measures which as a union we will implement within set timelines. The support and involvement of the International Rugby Board and our fellow unions is also important if we are to ensure all the issues are addressed on a global basis."
The following link provides the complete Image of the Game Task Group report.
The Task Group's 16 recommendations are as follows:

Stop Violence Against Women is an Amnesty International Campaign to address the staggering amount of violence against women worlwide. One in every 3 women has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime.

Across the globe, Amnesty International members have united to work towards making women's human rights a reality; the campaign is intended as a contribution to the efforts of the women's rights movements around the world.
To acheive its goals in helping to end violence against women, Amnesty International is:

* Demanding that governments abolish discriminatory laws and practices that perpetrate violence against women in the family and in the community
* Calling for the adoption of new laws and policies to provide women protection from violence

The International Violence Against Women Act
The International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) is a historic and unprecedented effort of the U.S. government to take leadership in establishing an overall and integrated approach to respond and address violence against women and girls internationally. The Act establishes a Coordinator to Combat Violence Against Women Internationally. The time is now to capitalize on this awareness and support and to enact this comprehensive vision to address the problem of violence against women.

Please join us for the closing reception of our Summer Show on Saturday, September 7 from 5:30-7:30pm.
The exhibition comprises of the work of six regional painters; Peter Batchelder, Darthea Cross, Michele Kishita, Lorraine Lewin, Hannah Sessions and Karen Schmitz. These artists' works are connected by a shared interest in color, impressions of the landscape and nature, and by a common appreciation for the elements of line and shape. While all six artists look to the landscape as their primary source of inspiration, each artist's approach is unique, resulting in visually striking paintings that incorporate both contemporary approaches and traditional techniques in painting.
The Summer Show will be on display now through September 17th.

I have the same problem my Internet speed is 1.1Mbps is this fast enough? The same happens when I stream from TV eg. QVC TV channel picture freezes and start to rebuff. It is very annoying.
How can I view online video without the starts and stops?
Online video is becoming more and more popular, but it often assumes you have a fast connection. If you don't, video playback can be affected.
I would like to view YouTube without the stops and starts. What causes that and can it be corrected?
In the past few years, video has exploded. Every so often you hear amazing statistics about the number of hours of video that's being uploaded to YouTube every minute.
With the proliferation of video-capable mobile devices, the explosion – both of video creation and video consumption – is continuing to grow.
As is some frustration.
It's frustrating to say the least to have an online video playback play a little, pause, play a little more, then pause, then play a little more, then pause, then play a little more…
You get the idea. Heck, it was even frustrating to type, much less watch.
There are several reasons that this type of playback behavior can happen. I'll cover a few of them, and a few of the ways that you might work around it.
The number-one cause: Your internet connection
By far, the single biggest reason for videos that pause periodically while playing back is the speed of your internet connection.
Or rather, the lack of speed.
Video can require a lot of data and that data has to be transferred fast enough across your internet connection for the video to playback smoothly.
If a video requires say three megabits per second (just an example) to play smoothly and your internet connection is only 1.5 megabits per second, you are going to experience these stops and starts. The video player just can't get the data fast enough for the video to play without interruption.
In that same vein, if some other program on your computer is simultaneously downloading something from the internet, then the available download speed that's left over for your video to playback will be reduced. You may have the required three megabits per second1 connection, but if another program is simultaneously downloading something, your effective speed might be cut in half and your video once again begins to pause.
In addition, if another computer that shares your internet connection does the same thing, then the bandwidth available to your machine watching video is similarly reduced and pausing can once again happen.
The number two cause: Your computer's too busy
In addition to requiring that there be available download speed, depending on your computer's specific hardware configuration and the software you have running on it at the same time, it might just be too busy to keep up with the work of displaying video.
Other programs that are running at the same time that might be placing high demands on the computer's CPU, RAM, or disk can interfere with video playback and symptoms like periodic pausing can be one result.
Fortunately, using programs like Process Explorer, you can peek into the inner-workings of your computer, see exactly who's doing what while you playback video, and identify any resources-hogging culprits.
There's also a small chance that your video card might not be up to the task. This isn't nearly the issue it once was, but it's something to consider on older computers.
Solution number 1: Pause
Most video player progress bars will typically show three stages of video playback:
- Video seen: This shows how much of the video you've seen2 so far and ends at the playback position indicator.
- Video downloaded but not yet seen: This shows you the amount of the video that's been downloaded into a buffer somewhere on your computer, but that you haven't seen yet.
- Not yet downloaded: This is the amount of video that has yet to make it from the video server to our computer.
If you never see the "video downloaded but not yet seen" during normal streaming playback, then it's likely that the download can't keep up with playback or can only just barely keep up.
More often than not, this results in the pauses that we're talking about.
My most common recommendation when faced with this is to start it playing, then click on pause, and then wait a while.
Most video players will either have a separate Pause button or will change the Play button to a Pause button, as in the YouTube example above.
Pressing play initially begins the streaming of the video. By pausing the video, we're giving the download a head start, letting it fill the buffer with video ready to be played back.
Now, while this works with many players, YouTube has of late seemed to impose limits as to how far ahead it will buffer; it'll buffer a certain amount and then stop before it's done, apparently waiting for playback to catch up.
Unfortunately, when it chooses to stop buffering, it's typically not buffered enough to finish the video without more starts and stops.
Thus, another solution might be called for.
Solution number 2: Reduce the demand
Many video players provide the video in multiple formats, usually including different sizes of video and different qualities.
The players may choose a default, or they may guess and guess wrong.
On YouTube, you can click on the gear icon to select a different resolution:
The maximum resolution available is typically selected by whomever uploaded the video and results in the largest and clearest picture.
And it also requires the fastest internet connection in order to play smoothly.
By selecting a lower resolution, the image will typically be smaller and perhaps a little less clear, but it will also place less of a demand on the speed of your internet connection, and thus may playback without pausing.
What if you have a slow internet connection, but still want high quality? That calls for a different approach.
Solution number 3: Download
Streaming and downloading a video is very similar. Oh, there are differences in protocols and software and whatnot, but the fundamental difference is simply this:
- Streaming plays the video on your screen immediately
- Downloading3 writes a copy of the video to your computer's hard disk
The technical differences, while complex behind the scenes, are conceptually fairly simple. Unfortunately, the legalities are anything but.
The problem is that when you download a video you are creating a copy of that video. That may be illegal or against the video-sharing site's terms of service. I'm not going to weigh in on that, other than to point out the possibility.
Some sites will simply offer a direct-download link. I do this with most of my more recent video offerings here on Ask Leo! or in any bonus videos I might offer with my books. It's by far the simplest approach. Click on the download link (or right-click and Save As…) and then after the download completes, you'll get a video file on your machine that you can play using your favorite media player.
Other sites, most notably YouTube, do not provide this ability.
However, if you search for "youtube downloader," you'll find many. The problem, of course, is that it's unclear which to trust. In my brief research for this article, I checked out a few and found many to be discontinued, not working, or loaded with toolbars and other unrelated software.
One final note about downloading a video. If the download takes longer than the video would play – for example, it takes 15 minutes to download a video that only plays for three minutes, then almost by definition, it's an internet connection speed issue. If you were able to download that same file in three minutes or less on a faster connection, then you'd theoretically also be able to stream it directly without the starts and stops.

I do wait and let it buffer all the way but when I play the video, the video stops in the middle of it and asks if I want to atch it again

Hi Leo.
Leo thank's a milion,you put my mind at eas.My sound has been exactly as you have said above.
I have a playlist saved on you tube with 18 songs. It is the same 3 any and every time I play the list. I have plenty of hard disk space for the temp file. I think there's more to it.
I'd like play just an excerpt of youtube video on my web site. I know how to play youtube video, but not the excerpt (e.g., a segment from 15 sec. to 25 sec.). Would you advice what code should I insert to achieve that? Thank you. Art
I use the following code to place youtube video on my web site:
Hi Leo
I have the stop and go of my youtube videos which is odd because it wasn't happening 2 weeks ago. My laptop is brand new and the youtube was working perfectly then suddenly I started having the stop and go. I cleared my cookies & still no help. When I hit the pause, the red line stops completely so its not downloading while I wait. Even if I wait for the entire video to download and then hit replay, it starts the same stopping and going. Could I have done something to bring this on suddenly?
Here is my issue: latest version of Firefox, and after some day all flash videos (youtube, etc.) begin stopping after 1-2seconds. Also, no sound.
– First, open Mozilla plug-ins folder (C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxplugins)
– Then, flash plug-in folder (C:WINDOWSsystem32MacromedFlash)
– Check if NPSWF32.dll is present in Mozilla folder. If not, just copy it. Restart Firefox and it should be fixed.
Some other workarounds I've found on the web: Uninstall RealPlayer (if you use it), or install previous build of Flash Player. Old builds can be found here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=2
Hope it helps!

I had this problem crop up suddenly and found that it was due to a clutter of files and other junk I allowed to accumulate on my desktop. I ashcanned a bunch of videos and other files just sitting on my desktop and the problem with videos starting and stopping went away. You might try that.
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! I hit pause and let the video completely download, went back and when I hit play – it played just as it "should" – no stops and starts. I am very grateful.

Is the buffering a Vista problem? I have a notebook with vista (w/3 megs of ram) that has this problem and a desktop with XP that does not.
both are connected to the internet thru a broadband connection. What should I do?
If it had been up to me, I wouldn't have put You Tube up until that bug got work out. But then I would have made sure saccharine and cyclamates were harmless and not cancer-causing before putting them on the market.What bug? The fact that your internet connection is slower than the data rate needed to give you a seamless video is not a bug.- Leo
I cannot tell you how much this info helped!! Been having this problem for awhile. Not just on Youtube! Very cool and no need to get frustrated anymore. I will just pause….
When running internet videos the red load line does load far ahead of the playing point. And the video still stops, skips frames, and starts and stops. Even going back to the beginning point and rerunning the video with the red line full the video still does the stop and start thing. The sound is doing the same. I am running windows XP with Internet Explorer. Adobe Flash player 10 Active X is loaded and Java Script is enabled. Memory space is clear. System is an Intel 866 MHZ, 512 ram with service pack 3. Display adapter is a Nvidia GeForce 2 MX 100/200. And the wireless connection is at 54Mbps.What possibly could be wrong or set to cause this video problem? Videos do run normal in Microsoft Media player. But are jumpy in Flash. ThanksMy initial reaction is that your machine is underpowered. 866Mhz with 512Meg RAM isn't much these days. Flash may simply take more power than your machine has. (Also perhaps highly dependant on what else is running and eating up system resources while you try to play video.)- Leo
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the info. I have had problems trying to watch the news videos on my homepage with all the stopping every few seconds. I just hit the pause and let the line move to the right and NOW I have no problems watching.
hi Leo
thanks for the information but even when i pause the download progress wont happen or is very slow and it very annoying. so please please tell me what to do
I had the same start and stop problem with watching videos online. I tried numerous sites to make sure it wasn't the site. The problem came on suddenly so I tried all the fixes on the first page, but no luck. I finally uninstalled ITunes which I had recently installed and now everything is working fine again. ITunes installed a mess of programs that I would never even use and it made itself the main music player. I also noticed that Itunes had a lot of task running all the time, at least 5 or more. So, that's my fix. Hope it might help someone else.

Ive been having a similar problem but Ive found that if I reboot my PC the videos play faster what could be causing this?Usually that means that some application is eating up system resources – CPU, disk, memory, or network bandwidth. Pay close attention to what applications are running before you reboot – one or more of them may be interfering.
well my problem is a bit different than this…
when i try to watch a video online sometimes its plays fine but after serveral viedeo watching or sometimes just one…
the sound stop & the video stops playing if i click the video it plays for 2 secs.. then stops again only thing i can do is restart my PC
to fix the problem & repeat
Please help…
Thank you. I had been having this issue with Win 7 on a new computer and the pause key did the trick. Appreciate it.

I recently bought a canon fs20 camcorder and tried to download several videos onto my computer. When I watch the videos, they stop and start again, like they are buffering. Is this my computer, download program or something else? I am using the Imagemixer 3 program that the camcorder came with.
My problem is similar, but not the same. I get fairly rapid initial download speed of the video, and download halts and does not resume. This appears on many sites. Is it possible that after a certain number of dropped packets, the download is quitting?
In other words, I get rapid download – then download ceases and there is no rebuffering or restart. Sometimes this happens every 30 seconds (and I have to reload the page) sometimes after 20 minutes or 30 minutes.
Yo have reason 100%, I discover that myself alone.What I want is to replace my pc or to find a way to repair it.Another family member has a pc, I try you tube and i can see video instantly, for that reazon is not my conection is may pc, Can I repair it or I should change my pc? Please if you know someone able to reir it let me know i am willing to pay.thanks
The only disagreement with you is the reazons.Again a member of my family come tu my same conection with her laptop and is able to see without problems, then is my pc,how I fix that , I do not want to wait how you suggest, I am doing that and is a waiting of time
does anyone know why vista download gets slower as the file progresses. it quickly gets down to as low as 1kB/s. i have an xp box on the same router and it works ok on the same site at the same time.
I disagree with you answer, I have the problem with my pc, stop and star you tube videos,my daughter in the same network has no problems. If I do what you advice when the video is downloades I already lost interest to see, my daughter see videos immediately.
well is it so common, but so difficult to fix, the start and stop ,for all video reviews.This is ask by millions daily so some tech resolve my issue.I see no reason to pay the server for faster internet services.when videos do now work anywhere the servers do not know that ?.
Pausing stop and start videos only helps for 5minutes, is there enything else I can do?
I'm using Firefox 5.0 (however problem has been in every version)
I allow video to load completely and audio continues while video stops and starts after a few seconds. Even as I type this it's delaying some of my words. I wait and it auto fills if I keep typing.
I'm using osx 10.6.7 All add-ons disabled.

Sounds like you might have more programs running than your computer can handle which might be slowing it down. More RAM might help, or you might try stopping some programs that start up with your computer that you don't need.
Oops, I just noticed that you use OSX, I don't know what the procedure is to stop programs from starting up on a Mac, someone who reads this might have an answer.

My dsl downstream rate was 765 and up was 132.
They were upgraded to 7036 and 508 respectively and I had no problem w/starts&stops of video.
For some unknown reason the rates have reverted to the lower nbrs and I now have that prob. again.
How can I change the rates back to the higher nbrs from the Broadband DSL Line Diagnostics page?Make sure you're not running other programs that download at the same time, but ultimately this sounds like you'll have to talk to your ISP.
I've been trying to watch videos from a site called Paper Crafters Library. I do what you say, but its still an extremely slow process. At times I can let it spool in for ages, but when I click play I still only get a very short time, sometimes only seconds, before it stops again. I tried Videobox but the makers of that said the site uses streaming videos and Videobox will not work. Is there anything else? I've spoken to our provider and they say its all ok there. I can watch Youtubes with no problems. Thank you.
Richard Tapp
Minor typo: can should be can't in this sentence: The video player just can get the data fast enough for the video to play without interruption.
Mark J
Thanks. Fixed it.
If ya use Firefox which I would recommend, just use "you tube video quality manager". This helps a lot. else just let it buffer and play later. Some VPN's also increase download speed.
For other types of streaming..just move cursor to left side of screen..right click and just find Quality..select Low (from high/medium or low)..this also helps a lot as we in Europe know.
Use with care, I downloaded and before I could instal I received a virus warning (I use AVG). It hasn't to the best of my knowledge caused me any problems, but that's maybe only because I didn't proceed.
I appreciate the link was offered in good faith though, so not a criticism, just a word of warning.
I used to think my Internet connection was slow, and that's why video was taking so long and why web pages took so long to display. But then I hooked a Linux laptop to my home network, and wow … it was really fast. So, the problem was not the Internet connection, but rather my computer. My solution was to buy a new computer, the fastest and biggest I could get. I now have 16 GB of RAM, i7 processor, 10 MB cache, 1024 MB video card. Video never pauses. Web pages load like they were local. I am in heaven.
My old XT computer? I will load Ubuntu Linux on it as a dual boot machine.
Rene LeBlanc
In recent months my computer has begun encountering a different kind of video playing problem when playing videos from the Internet. I can see the downloaded, but not played, bar well ahead of the current display point, but the screen freezes anyway. Only if I move the mouse pointer up into the video does it free up and begin displaying properly again. In order to play a video smoothly, I have to keep the mouse up in the video and wiggle it around to keep the thing playing. This is MOST annoying, but I haven't found a way to avoid it. I am mostly using Firefox, but I think it happens with other browsers too. Can you explain this? Better yet, tell me how to fix it?
BTW, this happens when my fast (3gB/s), big (6 gB ram) computer is not overloaded or doing lots of other things. The video will continue playing smoothly as long as I keep wiggling the mouse around in the video.
YouTube videos can also be conveniently downloaded without a program through http://www.keepvid.com if you have Java.
I'd really like to see an answer to Rene LeBlanc's problem with some video's as I have the same problem. If you have an idea, please post it. Thanks very much.

My IE9 hangs all the time with videos, and I have a fast connection. Then switched to FF and/or Chrome and have no problems. But I must close the IE hog first.
Mark J
That sounds like a problem of not enough resources such as RAM or CPU. I'd run Process Explorer, as Leo suggested, and see how I could free up some resources on my system. I had a similar problem, where doing anything with my keyboard or mouse, even simple things like scrolling a window, would cause the video hesitate. Closing a few background processes solved the problem.
In my documents on face book, when I go into doc to copy an image or quote to post on Facebook, when I click to see a doc all the documents fly by so fast I can't even see them, much less choose one. Have any idea why this is happening?
Hi Peggy,
This is not really the best place to post a question, especially since the question does not appear to be related to the topic.
The best way would be to click the link below that says "Questions? Ask Leo" and ask your own question.
Of course if you are a subscriber, you should go to your email and click the link in the email you received from Leo because Leo always puts subscribers questions to the top of the queue and you'll likely get a response in a couple weeks as opposed to a month or two.
If your not a subscriber, it would probably be faster to subscribe (there's a subscription box above). It's free to subscribe and Leo doesn't sell his mailing list. Then when you get the first email, click the link in the email to ask your question as a subscriber and move ahead in the queue.

Sometimes a reboot will help, undoubtedly because that closes processes and programs that may have been taking up resources. Sometimes it's easier than trying to figure out what's slowing you down with process explorer. One day everything was dragging on my computer–not just video. I realized that my son was using his computer wirelessly from my router. Usually he and I are not on at the same time, but this time we were.
I use a browser called Fastpeak Slimbrowser because I like the interface, with menus which allow me to do everything I want and with very easy access to translation. I just noticed that it now offers a button for direct downloading of videos on YouTube too in all the formats available.
My Mom developed this problem with watching youtube videos (would just buffer endlessly) and for months I blamed her old computer and even sadly her because I couldn't figure out what the problem was. Never thought it could be a bad router! Replaced it, and that fixed the problem. Happy Momma, happy me

Re specific speed recommendations for Netflix and Vudu, see:
Talmadge Bryan
Cant watch a video, play button stops every second
Reginald hall
My videos keep on runing and stoppin, can you help , at the sametime what do cpu ram means.
Does "streaming" create a file on your local computer? What happens to the data when the streaming is finished?
I have wireless internet and can watch videos on my Kindle, but they will only play for a few seconds on my brand new lap top. I'm thinking that it must be the laptop, since they both use the same router, internet, etc. Does that make sense.
Frank Walker
Maybe I missed it but one should always do a speed test (try speedtest.net) to determine the actual speed of the connection first. This will tell you if the problem is related the speed of the connection or if you need to look elsewhere.
Peak viewing times can slow down one's connection significantly.
bob price
Why can I watch a Netflix movie in HD on my 24″ ext monitor for two hours without a single glitch or pause, but can't view a simple three minute news cast, about 2″ x 4″ without constant freezes?
Maybe the problem isn't at your end. Maybe it's the news website not wanting to spend the money on sufficient servers/bandwidth/etc. to be able to serve up the video to as many people as are using their website. Whereas, I'm sure Netflix has already and probably continues to upgrade its hardware/bandwidth to keep its paying customers happy.
Richard Pedersen
Hi Leo,
I have a solution for the DASH problem. That's where YouTube only provides a short buffer rather than downloading the whole video to its end.
It involves a third-party add-on for FireFox users. I am not affiliated with this product in any way. It provides many uses other than simply controlling DASH and is completely free to use.
Note: There are scripts and plug-ins available for other browsers as well.
I wrote a guest article for Dave's Computer Tips that covers this very subject and it can be found at this link: http://www.davescomputertips.com/dont-like-dash-then-youtube-center-is-for-you/
Thank you for all the helpful information you provide us.
I hope this helps,
With an Android tablet, videos can be interesting. Some play fine. Some cause the tablet to completely freeze. And some start and stop every few seconds.
What a useless article. Can you tell us why youtube no-longer buffers the full video when you pause? Seems completely senseless to me. I dont mind waiting for the the full HD video to buffer, why are they cutting this short?
Please do some more research and come back to us.

HI Leo,
I Have a desktop computer which i bought about a year ago and it could load a 20 minute YouTube video on full hd in about a minute or two. My internet speed is the same 15mb/s as it was back then, and yes that is fast for Australia but if i change the quality to hd it stops and pausing doesn't help because you tube videos don't like to download when they are paused on my computer. So i tried my sisters new mac which was connected to WiFi not Ethernet as my desktop is and the exact same video on the exact same quality loaded almost instantly. So Please help!!!!!!!!
Mary Vaughan
My thoughts are not just uTube videos, but short clips on FB. I only have an Ipad and pay quite a bit for my not the top but next best available speed I can afford which is NOT cheap! I mean every second or two? It is so frustrating i want to throw this damn thing through the wall. Its a fairly new one and have no other problems with it but this. I will try the pause thing but I'm calling Apple next!
John Meny
Thanks so much for the clarity. Only one remaining question: Could you please comment on how the CPU speed might affect streaming? Would one notice any significant difference between using a computer with a 1.88GHz processor and one with a 3.2GHz processor. I'm in the market for a new computer and the slower one would meet all my other needs and be less expensive. If, however, the faster one would provide a perceptible improvement in streaming, I'd be inclined to spend the extra bucks. Thanks for your thoughts.
John Meny
Greg in Fla
Thank you for the insightful video. I have a 10 mb connection and most YouTube videos were almost impossible to watch. I didn't know about the "gear" setting that would let you choose a lower resolution. That seems to have made a big difference.
And where are the solutions?
So, barely explaining on why a video may stop and play, that is a solution to, what? Telling why it's always stopping?
Gee, if all the professionals are as professional as you, then I wonder how the videos are even play and stop and not just stop full on.
This world certainly produces one kind of {removed} up brain dead pros. too much on facecrook, huh?

Shanghai Travel Essentials: Subway
Shanghai Metro 上海轨道交通
Shanghai is home to world's newest subway system. There are currently 11 lines running in the city including the Shanghai Maglev with over 270 subway stations. The Shanghai subway system includes both subway and light rail lines running on elevated tracks. There are over 430km of track on the Shanghai subway making it the world's longest with plans to expand to 22 lines covering 877km.
With the 2010 Expo held in Shanghai, a large expansion of the current subway system was undertaken.
Line 1 (red) for example runs north-south. It is convenient for the French Concession.
Subway stations can still be a bit spread out, and using the system requires a fair bit of walking. However, for the price and efficiency, it is a great way to get around Shanghai.
A major inerchange station is People's Square where lines 1, 2 and 8 intersect.
Trains run from approximately 5.30am to between 10 and 11pm.
Shanghai subway signs
Both the trains and the stations are quite clean. Signs and carriage announcements are in Chinese and English. Metro stations have a red "M" sign outside their entrances.
Fares cost from 3RMB to 8RMB, depending upon how far you are riding. The Shanghai Public Transportation Card (SPTC) can be purchased and recharged at metro stations and convenience stores.
Keep your ticket. You will need to have it if you transfer.
Construction continued on several other lines in the lead up to the 2010 World Expo.
Line 2 (green) will join the city's two airports: Pudong and Hongqiao.
Line 7 is scheduled to be extended north to Shanghai University and to the southeast to Pudong to the planned East Shanghai Railway station.
Line 8 will be extended to Sanlin Town.
Line 9 (Shensong Line) will run through the city center to Pudong.
Line 10 will be the new east-west line.
Line 13 opened in time for the World Expo in 2010, and it will serve that area of town between Jinshajiang Road and Huajiang Road.
Shanghai's subway stations connect with Shanghai's extensive system of city buses.
In November 2011 two subway trains on Line 10 crashed between Yuyuan Garden Station and Laoximen Station leading to injuries to over 280 people.
Shanghai Metro Video
In Chinese, subway/underground is Dì tiĕ', and it's written 地铁.

Since we launched ProsperityNOLA in June 2013, we have been working diligently with our partners in the business and civic communities to make progress toward implementation.
Download our ProsperityNOLA Strategic Advisory Committee Updates below:
NOLABA and the City of New Orleans are proud to announce the launch of ProsperityNOLA: A Plan to Drive Economic Growth for 2018. ProsperityNOLA is a living, actionable plan, created through months of data-driven planning, that will foster Mayor Landrieu's vision of a diverse, sustainable and prosperous economy for all citizens. ProsperityNOLA envisions New Orleans as a city where businesses are eager to invest and grow, but it doesn't just paint a picture; the plan provides action steps for realizing this vision. While New Orleans' growth trajectory is strong, there are significant barriers to overcome, as well as fierce competition from a globalized world. This plan aligns proactive efforts to make New Orleans more competitive. Our opportunities, however, are greater than our challenges. On the cusp of the Tricentennial, New Orleans will be known around the world as the next great city for business growth and opportunity.
Rodrick T. Miller, President & CEO of the New Orleans Business Alliance and Mayor Mitchell J. Landrieu announced ProsperityNOLA and the impacts it will have on New Orleans economy at the June 10 rollout luncheon:
More than 200 stakeholders from business, government, education and philanthropy, as well as the broader economic development community, came together to create ProsperityNOLA. Through a data-driven process, the plan's Strategic Advisory Council selected five key economic clusters where New Orleans has strengths, opportunities, and a trajectory for growth.
See below for a short video describing this process, the stakeholders involved in the development of ProsperityNOLA:
ProsperityNOLA has taken place in three phases. In the first phase, NOLABA commissioned the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC), the Harvard-based nonprofit research and strategy organization and leading authority on inner city economies, to develop a body of data to serve as the baseline for the planning process. The second phase took place from October 2012 through May 2013, and in it NOLABA convened a Strategic Advisory Council of 75 stakeholders from a diverse cross-section of New Orleans to outline a strategic focus for the city, focusing on five industry clusters. The third phase, which is starting now, is implementation.
The baseline research from the first phase identified thirteen industry clusters in New Orleans. Over the course of three meetings, the Strategic Advisory Council was informed by presentations of the baseline research and commentary from industry experts for each cluster. The Strategic Advisory Council then pared the thirteen clusters down to five, based on which of the clusters would generate the most quality jobs and have the greatest potential to impact the city's competitiveness. The selected clusters are a combination of historic clusters that have served as the foundation of New Orleans' economy and emerging clusters that represent a strong potential for growth. The Strategic Advisory Council selected this mix of clusters to emphasize the need to leverage the city's strengths while diversifying the economy.
NOLABA chose this framework for this strategic planning process because cluster-based growth has several advantages over economic development activities that focus solely on attracting or growing single companies. This cluster-based process is also in alignment with recent efforts at the state and regional levels, which have developed focused strategies based on a set of foundational and emerging clusters with potential for growth.
The prioritized clusters are:
See below for a short video detailing each of the five priority industry clusters:
ProsperityNOLA identifies implementation strategies and specific action steps. This includes a list of individuals and organizations responsible for implementing and monitoring progress and timelines for tracking progress. Numerous individuals and partners have signed on, agreeing to hold themselves accountable for contributing to the success and implementation of this plan.

The vision in ProsperityNOLA is, on the Tricentennial, to have a more inclusive and diverse economy that is equitable, with more opportunities to participate in multiple industries. ProsperityNOLA provides the path for New Orleans to become an international thought leader in water management and coastal restoration. The city's workers will build innovative products and engineer new manufacturing processes. New medical centers will provide world-class care to not only the city's residents, but to the nation's veterans, and patients around the world who seek specialized care. With the continued engagement of the business community, companies will be able to access the capital they need – not only when they're just starting out, but when they are ready to grow.
The city is ready for ProsperityNOLA. Leadership from the Mayor and the economic development community is at an all-time high. In five years, New Orleans can be recognized as a transformative economy where there are opportunities for economic participation, where the public and private sectors are aligned to tackle issues and create opportunity, and where businesses and residents prosper.

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) - A military judge in Maryland says lawyers for Army Pfc. Bradley Manning can offer evidence contradicting the government's assertion that he revealed classified information in a leaked battlefield video from Iraq.
Col. Denise Lind took judicial notice of the document Thursday during Manning's court-martial at Fort Meade. Judicial notice is a preliminary step toward admitting evidence.
The document is an assessment by a former U.S. Central Command official of video of a 2007 Apache helicopter attack in Baghdad. Two Reuters news employees died in the attack. His assessment was that the video should be unclassified.
That contradicts evidence offered by prosecutors. They have presented a Pentagon official's assessment that the video revealed military tactics and procedures.
Manning admits giving the video to WikiLeaks but denies revealing national defense information.

UN Secretary General urges continued commitment to aid towards "new cooperation partnership"
Feature story
UN Secretary General urges continued commitment to aid towards "new cooperation partnership"
30 November 2011
Some 3500 delegates, including heads of state, ministers, civil society, the private sector and leaders of international organizations have come together for the Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, Korea, from 29 November to 1 December to review the impact of development aid and chart a bold course for how the future of development cooperation will support the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
Speaking at the opening, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon underlined the need to move towards a "new cooperation partnership" based on shared responsibility where traditional donors continue aid programmes despite the economic crisis; where countries receiving aid set clear development priorities, deliver on commitments and work more with civil society; and where emerging aid donors and the private sector increase aid efforts and commitments.
"Our agenda today is very clear," Ban said. "We are here to ensure that aid reaches those most in need, the most vulnerable people who we have to take care of."
Underlining how commitment to development assistance has helped to slow the spread of HIV and reduce child mortality, the Secretary General emphasized the urgent need to continue support for "highly productive multilateral initiatives such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria."
Towards a "new global partnership for development" the Secretary General stressed three principles as the basis for effective aid: accountability, flexibility and ownership.
"Countries that are accountable, countries that receive flexible aid, countries that have the most ownership -- will be best placed to achieve the best results," he said.
New partnership for Africa's development
In Busan on Tuesday 29 November, UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé stressed that the time is right for new paradigms for international development cooperation to transform the concept of aid effectiveness. Mr Sidibe spoke at a side event on the impact of development aid in Africa, organized by the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Our agenda today is very clear," Ban said. "We are here to ensure that aid reaches those most in need, the most vulnerable people who we have to take care of
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
"At this game-changing moment in the AIDS response, today's development paradigms look tired and confused – no longer responding to the needs of a changing world," said Michel Sidibé, UNAIDS Executive Director. "We need to broaden the discourse beyond a focus on just financial sustainability. A socially sustainable agenda for Africa must be agreed upon in Busan."
Although sub-Saharan Africa remains the region worst-affected by HIV with nearly 70% of the 34 million people living with HIV worldwide, the countries of sub-Saharan Africa have the potential to lead the AIDS response as they have increased access to technology, economic growth and a growing workforce, he stressed.
Youth as 'transformers'
Mr Sidibé also joined the Korean Minister of Education, Science and Technology, Dr LEE Ju-Ho, at the Youth Forum to hear the perspectives of young people on effective aid and development. The Youth Forum, hosted by the Korean government and organized by the Korean National Commission for UNESCO, addressed ways to increase young people's participation in aid and development.
Speaking to young people at the opening of the Youth Forum, Mr Sidibé said, "You are not spectators in development architecture—you are transformers. You are the leaders of today - transforming the world and the way development is done through your bold ideas and the innovative use of technology."
Calling on young people to engage in the development of UNAIDS' new youth strategy, Mr Sidibé highlighted how social media is a powerful tool for development and innovation. UNAIDS is using crowdsourcing to empower young people, including young people living with HIV, to take ownership and develop the strategy online.
