How to Keep Animals Out of Your Vegetable Garden
Between insects, harmful microorganisms, adverse weather, and rodents and other small animals, protecting a vegetable garden from damage and decay can be a challenging process. In particular, animals such as rabbits, deer, and moles can quickly devour large amounts of your garden's bounty. Fortunately, there are several simple, humane steps you can take to help you keep animals out of your vegetable garden. The steps below can be applied in conjunction or singularly.
1Build raised beds for your vegetable garden. Raised beds are simple to build using stock lumber, and they carry numerous advantages. In addition to keeping your soil warmer and preventing it from becoming compacted underfoot, raised beds can deter animals from entering your vegetable garden. Small animals like rabbits are often reluctant to leave ground level to enter a raised bed, as they instinctively avoid areas where they will be highly visible.Ad
2Make the pathways between your beds as narrow as possible. This consideration also plays to small animals' reluctance to make themselves highly visible and vulnerable. If the pathways between your vegetable beds are only about a foot (30 cm) wide, rabbits and other small animals will be less likely to enter your garden for fear of exposure to predators.
3Interplant different vegetables with each other. Interplanting is an effective technique for resisting disease and keeping soil healthy, but it can also be used to deter animals. Plants like garlic, onion, marigolds, chives, and lavender can all be used to repel rabbits, deer, and some other animals. Interplanting these vegetables with the rest of your crops keeps animals from attempting to eat the more attractive vegetables.
- You can also use these animal-repellant vegetables to create a perimeter around your other crops. This will help keep animals from entering your vegetable garden at all.
4Build fencing around your vegetable garden beds. Fencing is one of the most effective solutions for keeping animals out, although it also tends to reduce your own access to your vegetables.
- Fencing can either be built around individual raised beds or around the entire perimeter of the garden. The best choice for you will depend on the size of your garden and the amount of fencing you want to purchase.
- Garden fencing can be constructed from several different materials, including scrap lumber, poultry wire, wire screening, and bamboo. These materials can be fastened together in any manner desired, but make sure to leave a way for you to access your vegetables through the fencing.
- Fencing should also extend at least 6 inches (15 cm) underground to prevent burrowing animals from entering your vegetable patch.
5Add plenty of mulch around your vegetables. Mulch is an excellent tool for regulating soil temperature and preventing weed growth, and it can also be used to deter animals.
6Many animals are reluctant to walk over mulched areas, especially if they do not have the additional cover of weeds. Numerous materials can be used as mulch, including straw, dried evergreen needles, and wood bark.
7Plant attractive foods away from your garden. If the above methods prove inadequate, you can introduce plants that rabbits and other small animals like to eat to deter them from eating your vegetables instead. Rabbits and other small mammals love eating clover, goldenrod, alfalfa, dandelions, and many types of wildflowers. You can plant these plants in a wide perimeter around your garden, or close to a tree line so that the animals will prefer the cover of that area to your own garden.Ad

- Dogs and cats can also be helpful in chasing small animals away from a vegetable garden.
- If resorting to poisons or traps for killing the offending animals, make sure your own pets, or children who may be in your yard, do not have access to the area where the poison or traps are placed.

Choosing a Guardian for Minor Children
Executors Fees
Should You Just Add Your Kid to Your Bank Account?
Thursday, February 24, 2011
In a previous post I wrote about how difficult it is for parents to choose guardians for their children; but most parents, even if they are unsure about who they want to serve as guardians, are positive in the knowledge of who they don't want caring for their children. You hope that creating a nomination of guardians will ensure that your child ends up in loving and capable hands if anything should happen to you, but every once in a while a situation arises where someone unsuitable—or even dangerous—will petition for guardianship. Luckily, there are steps you can take to prevent you children from falling into the wrong hands. If you've already executed (or are planning to execute) a Nomination of Guardians then you've taken the first step. But beyond that, you can execute something called an Exclusion of Guardians (also known as an Anti-Nomination of Guardians). In this document you name the person or people who should under no circumstances receive guardianship of your children. In the document you may want to state the reasons why your child should be kept out of the care of this person, but it is not always necessary. Oftentimes the excluded guardian is a member of the extended family, and parents fear that executing so strong a document might be hurtful or break the peace. If this is the case then you can request that the Exclusion of Guardians be kept confidential. This means that unless and until the excluded guardian tries to gain guardianship over your children it can be stored privately, and there is no need for anyone except you and your attorney to be aware of its existence. An Exclusion of Guardians may seem like a drastic measure, but there are many valid reasons to execute an Exclusion of Guardians; a history of abuse, financial irresponsibility, mental illness, alcoholism, or other more personal reasons. How are judges to know if a seemingly stable relative is unfit to serve as guardian unless you tell them? This is exactly what an Exclusion of Guardians does. If you feel strongly about this issue please call my office for more information. You hope the document will never need to be used—never be seen by any eyes other than your own—but when it comes to your children you are always better safe than sorry.

I`m buying Klangfilm 13cm drivers
Hello all,
I`m looking for a pair of vintage Klangfilm midrange-tweeter drivers, they are 13cm with AlNiCo magnets and pressed paper cones. I have no information about this driver at all, but i will post a picture. If anybody has a pair of these, please let me know.

These drivers were not make by Klangfilm or Siemens(typical ebay bulls%$*), but by Sachsenwerk(east german manufacturer of high quality radios and other electrical appliances). They were also never intended to be used in a Cinema. Nevertheless, the driver is excellent, both the Alnico magnet and the Ferrite magnet version. Check out: http://www.german-vintage-loudspeakers.com/ You'll find the under "Sachsenwerk" Usable from 3kHz to 12kHz, very efficient. All the best, Frank |

Hello Frank,
I did listen to a pair of them at a friend of mine, yes they appear to be very sensitive. This will compensate their power handling and if cut high enough, they might work well in a 3-way system. I will look further in the link you have provided. I was impressed by their natural and realistic sound, however I didn`t like the chassis and I will try to replace it with a modified Seas Prestige chassis will see what would happen. Mit freundlichen gruessen, Mario

Hi, quite old thread, just want to ask how did you liked them, implemented (crossing, sensitivity, etc).
I have one pair on my way. I hoped for at least 16khz at cca 94 db but it may be too optimistic. thanks |

Press Conferences & Post-Game Interviews
KU coach Bill Self
Kansas coach Bill Self talks to reporters following the Jayhawks' 63-60 victory over Nebraska on Jan. 15, 2011.
Press Conferences & Post-Game Interviews
Nebraska coach Doc Sadler
Nebraska coach Doc Sadler talks to reporters following his team's 63-60 loss to Kansas on Jan. 15, 2011.
Kansas University forward Thomas Robinson sat on the bench most of the first half wishing he could help out his teammates against Nebraska's big men.
"It made me really, really mad," Robinson said, "seeing that we got beat on the glass like that."
Following the Jayhawks' 63-60 victory on Saturday, Robinson emerged as one of the biggest reasons his team was able to reverse its fortunes on the boards — and in the game.
After playing six scoreless minutes in the first half with one rebound, Robinson exploded for nine points, four rebounds and three blocks in the second half in just nine minutes.
Though KU was outrebounded, 43-32, overall, Robinson helped KU to a 20-19 rebounding advantage in the second half.
"I just basically had to break that little slump of mine," Robinson said.
The 6-foot-9 forward hadn't played as well after sitting out the UMKC contest on Jan. 5 to attend his grandmother's funeral.
Against Michigan and Iowa State, Robinson had combined for just 15 minutes with six turnovers.
"Just those two games, my luck went the wrong way," Robinson said. "I was in foul trouble down at Iowa State. Michigan … I couldn't really get into the flow of the game. I really didn't lose my edge at all."
Still, Robinson admitted that he didn't want his "slump" to carry on much longer.
"I've been playing well so far this season for a majority of the games, and to not be playing the last couple games, it didn't affect me at all," Robinson said. "I just didn't want it to keep affecting me and keep going, to become a trend (where) I'm not playing good anymore."
Robinson's points Saturday were momentum-changers, as all four of his field goals came either on layups with fouls or dunks.
"I told our team I thought Marcus (Morris) played well the second half, and of course Tyrel (Reed) was terrific, but Thomas really won the game," KU coach Bill Self said. "He gave us the energy that really got the crowd into the game."
After both of his dunks, Robinson celebrated by yelling to the crowd.
"Half the time, I don't know I'm screaming," Robinson said. "I don't know. I guess you just black out ... I black out sometimes when I dunk and feel like I'm in there by myself."

After stating that the new live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will have the turtles from an alien race, it seems that mega-producer Michael Bay doesn't mind tainting several people's childhood memories. BleedingCool have just reported new rumors about the TMNT reboot that I'm sure will start another uproar.
The film, directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans, Battle L.A.), could be taking the very simple title of Ninja Turtles. Why you ask? It's because there could be a chance that the turtles won't even be teenagers in the film. One of the only reasons I can think for the change, is so they can appeal to the older generation who grew up watching the series many years ago.
Here's another explanation for the change, via Bleeding Cool:
We haven't been able to get a definite statement as to why this title change is occurring, and our sources are not 100% clear on whether or not the Turtles will indeed be adolescents. One of our sources has said: "It seems to be driven by marketing. Think of John Carter and how Disney wouldn't allow for a title with either "Princess" or "Mars."
Although I'd like to pin all the blame onto Bay, that just can't happen. We've gotten reports that his team at Platinum Dunes are working very closely with the original TMNT creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird on the reboot, so the chances of them ruining the original characters or story just isn't plausible. Even though this information could end up being totally false, it has been a good way for people to become familiar with the project, if they don't already know about it.
I can't say I'm Bay's #1 fan, but he does involve himself in extremely popular movies and it also doesn't hurt that Paramount has hired Mission: Impossible 4 - Ghost Protocol writers Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec to pen the screenplay. I'm sure once production gets going, actors are set and snapshots of the film are released, people will forget all about these rumors and come to terms with, or even get excited for, the reboot, which hits theaters Christmas Day 2013.
With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we've taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit the interwebs. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming […]

Most probably hand-drawn as the 2 /r are different.
How did I not see the two R's. I'm smacking myself now for taking the time to search for it.
Yes, hand-drawn. Quite a few somewhat similar scripts. You could start by going through the offerings of Filmotype, Måns Grebäck, Profonts & Blambot. Myfonts "scripts monoline" tags produce interesting possibilities.

Corky's: "Corky's BBQ" Top 5 Page for this destination Corkys Ribs & BBQ Tip by myrtle
Corkys Ribs & BBQ, Memphis: 7 reviews and 8 photos
Corky's has some of the best BBQ in Memphis. The environment is very relaxed & casual. You can even buy some of the barbecue sauce to take home with you or a tee shirt or other souvenirs. If you REALLY like their BBQ you should check out their website. They can ship it to you. Not sure if that applies to anywhere outside the US.
Favorite Dish: Anything you order will be great. I prefer the pork sandwich myself, and the fries are great. Most people prefer their wet ribs.
Address: 5259 Poplar Ave. Memphis, TN 38119
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: There are 3 Corky's in the Memphis area, but the most convenient to tourists will probably be the location on Poplar Ave which is the original Corky's. There is also a Corky's in Cordova on Germantown Parkway & another in Collierville also on Poplar Ave.

Chone Figgins didn't play in the Mariners' loss Tuesday, but in the last three games he's started, he's gone 0-for-15 with six strikeouts from the leadoff spot. All three games turned into one-run defeats for Seattle.
Figgins is currently batting .189 in 95 at-bats for the season. He's struck out 28 times already. Of course, he hit .188 in 288 at-bats last year.
Despite his struggles, Figgins was simply handed a starting job and the leadoff spot by the Mariners this season. Of course, his contract had a lot to do with that — the Mariners were hoping to find someone willing to take on a portion of the $17 million he was due through 2013. Figgins, though, hasn't helped his cause there, and it's doubtful anyone would take him unless he came at close to the minimum salary. Since that's the case, the Mariners need to forget about money for a while and start playing their younger, better players.
With Mike Carp back from the DL this week, Figgins simply doesn't belong in the Seattle lineup any longer. Kyle Seager looks like the long-term choice at third. Carp is a poor defensive left fielder, but he needs to play. Michael Saunders has done a nice job in center so far, though he's cooling off now.
The Mariners don't need to release Figgins, but they should be thinking of him as a utilityman, not a starter. And certainly not as a fixture in the leadoff spot. The Mariners are in better shape now than they have been in a couple of years, but it's hard to take them seriously when they're still playing guys for financial reasons.

Figgins costs more and is tougher to get rid of.
- hammyofdoom - May 3, 2012 at 8:14 PM
If only syphilis was as easy to get out as Chone figgins…
- rooney24 - May 3, 2012 at 7:48 PM
The latest example of why MLB needs to do away with fully guaranteed contracts. It is a crime that Figgins is making millions of dollars to suck. It would be fine if contracts were partially guaranteed, or if they got part of it as an upfront bonus, like the NFL, but full guarantees kill small market teams when they don't work out.
- dwrek5 - May 3, 2012 at 8:11 PM
What leverage do owners have to request that from the Players Union? The damage is done.
- hammyofdoom - May 3, 2012 at 8:15 PM
Maybe small market teams should make better deals than paying Chone Figgins an ungodly amount of money
- seattlej - May 3, 2012 at 10:16 PM
Easy to say now… but if you look back a couple of years, the Figgins signing appeared on just about everyone's "best signings of the off season" type of lists. I don't really remember anyone panning it at the time.

No, I think even at the time the Chone Figgins signing was laughed at outside of Seattle. I don't remember that ever showing up on any "best signings of the offseason" lists. And if it did, those people were idiots.
- cltjump - May 3, 2012 at 7:58 PM
There was a Chone Figgins era?
- hojo20 - May 3, 2012 at 8:15 PM
Too much pressure to live up to the big contract.
- F.R. Eeman - May 3, 2012 at 9:19 PM
Maybe the opposite of agonizing over a tough decision is figgonizing over it: just let things play out until everyone loses.
- ezthinking - May 4, 2012 at 12:34 AM
The Angels got slammed for not keeping Figgins and Lackey, those 'missed' opportunities turned out to be huge blessings. 4 – $36 mil, 5 – $82.5 mil. Too bad about that Wells' deal gave most of it all back.

That Pulois deal ain't looking so good right now either

Saunders good on defense, haha. I guess that's what Luke Scott thought while rounding the bases after the ball bounced off of his glove and over the wall. Go Rays, sweep…

Hey, the ball didn't go off his head!

Eric Wedge still insists on playing Brendan Ryan at short. Ryan is doing worse than the Figgie guy this season. Go figure.
Wedge just don't have it dialed in: the young guys–Seager, Sanders, Liddi–do great one game and shure-as-shootin' he sits them down the next. Figgie and Ryan (who does a great Johnny Carson impression, btw), unable to hit their weight, remain at the one and nine holes in the lineup.
Four straight losses to TB should have told Eric something. We'll see if he's learned anything tomorrow against the Twinkies.
- dorbs345 - May 4, 2012 at 11:55 AM
I agree, where would LIddi play though with Seager at 3b? Move Seager to SS and LIddi at 3b?

Just moved to a house that reeks of ciggies and lurcher
(27 Posts)Long time lurker, but I could really do with some of your expert advice.
We've removed all the carpets and underlay (the soft furnishings are all my own) cleaned all the curtain tracks, and the windows, we've mopped the floorboards with disinfectant and bleach, it still reeks. Has anybody tried the bowls of vinegar to absorb the smell? I moved in on Friday, and it's been full on so far, but I'm off out tomorrow to get some white vinegar.
Any other options? Please? I'm a non-smoker, and petless, but you wouldn't know it if you came in my front door right now.
The smoke will be all over the walls and ceiling. You need to paint it all! Smoke smells are horrible aren't they.
You'll need to wash down all the paintwork/walls too - but if its been heavily smoked in, then painting is the only true solution. Wallpaper will have really soaked up the smell.
If redecorating isn't possible, then you could try a good spray of Febreeze on the walls and a Neutradol plugin.
Yes. I decorated my parent's house (2 heavy smokers who smoked inside) and had to sugar soap the ceilings before repainting. The walls dripped orange. Then we had to use a special paint for painting over cigarette stains as otherwise it just came straight back.
I don't think vinegar absorbs smells. Does it? I thought it was bicarbonate of soda you needed for that.
If the walls are painted, then sugar soap is your friend. If they are papered, strip them quick as it will be in the paper.
Open all windows and blast the house with fresh air.
Wash all surfaces (inc ceilings and walls, banisters, tiles etc)
Wash the curtains unless they are your own new ones.
If the walls are papered, I'd suggest re-papering. Smells really do permeate.
But the smell of fresh paint should make a difference.
Thanks for your speedy reply Sooz, and yes, it's really awful. The plan is to have the whole house 'done', starting with the kitchen and bathroom (just as an insight into the housekeeping skills of previous owner, I had 2 cleaners for 5.5 hours on Saturday just to do the kitchen and bathroom, not including the oven). I guess I'm just going to have to live with it for the time being, plenty of open windows front and back, I now have a Febreze block thingy, and I will try the basins of vinegar tomorrow. Eau de lurcher is never going to rival Chanel No. 5.
Thank you all for your replies. As I'm planning a total redec, it looks like I'll just have to put up with the smell until the entire house is done, doesn't it. I cleaned the curtain track in my bedroom - it was dark brown. I sprayed with some variant of Mr Muscle, and had thick dark brown drips, and don't get me started on the plugs and light switches.
I do have some bicarb, so I'll try that too, and a Neutrodol plug in.
I like eau de Lurcher.
vinegar works, I use it when I cook fish
Well maybe it's a marketing opportunity, with Christmas coming and all. NotMost, do you think I should approach Selfridges?
Cheapo Neutrdol gel things - about the size of a tennis ball will help.
If you wash the walls down, please, USE RUBBER GLOVES!
I helped a heavy smoker decorate and washed the walls down; the nicotine got in through my skin and I was sick as a dog.
Dizzy spells, vomiting, sweaty and very ill.
sugar soap the walls and once they are cleanish use old fashioned dettol. not dettox spray, got to be dettol. will make your house smell cleaner than clean can be. if you can, buy a massive tub of white emulsion and do as many rooms as you can. having it white might not be your choice ultimatley, but it will feel and smell clean and if you do it all white its quick and easy as there is no cutting in to do at the ceiling. a coat of white will also be much better to put your more expensive coloured paint on to later. vinegar ot an onion halved absorbs smells.. i used both to get rid of gloss paint smells. burning a candle helps to - the sulpher neutralises smells.
Mil and fil bought a house which turned out to be owned by smokers though they managed to hide that on viewings. They had to get entirely new carpets, curtains and repaint throughout. The wardrobe in the spare room (built in) still smells faintly for some reason but the rest of the house is fine. It can be done.
definitely sugar soap on the walls, ASAP - be prepared for lots of mess as the tar comes off.
for carpets etc that you can't remove, lots of bicarbonate of soda sprinkled in, left and then vacuumed out. (took on a rental flat which had been smoked in, this worked).
it will start to improve in a few days - stick with it.
If eau de lurcher is in the floorboards, as it were, buy some byofresh and slosh it around liberally.
Thank you all for your helpful advice. The builder/decorator is coming on Wednesday, so I'll discuss with him to see how quickly he can paint the whole lot, even if, as OhHelp says, it's just a temporary white job.
I also think I'll change all the light bulbs, as when they warm up, it seems to be worse.
Meanwhile, the white vinegar seems to be making a difference. I'm going to get some Neutrodol or Byofresh as well, and spray the floorboards and radiators.
I knew this house would be a project, and I'm not even going to start on whether it should be a kitchen from Benchmarx or John Lewis....
Dettol now do febreze flavours. I used spring something in a blue bottle. Or was it ocean? Blue...
Febreze do the same flavour oil airfresheners, with the oil in a little pouch, that you clip into a plastic container.
That & repainting is covering eau de two large brown dogs.
The grease in the kitchen will hold onto smells too, put boiling water and soda crystals down the sink or if you can take all the traps out and wash them in a bucket of hot water etc.
I've had to wash under cupboards to get smells out.
If theres a extractor fan in the kitchen take it apart and clean and put new filters in.
If the previous owners were old they may not have ever had the windows open, I used to do home visits for old people and sometimes the air was so stale it felt like there was no oxygen in the room.
We once moved into a house that stank of dog, I burnt a lot of peppermint oil until we could decorate/deep clean etc.
To be fair though, although it did make it a bit better, there was a sort of minty-dog smell knocking about for a little while.
Yes, there was dog hair under the kickboards. Enough to knit a new dog.
Just thought, a vacuum cleaner with a fabric bag and a filter will stop the smells recirculating.
It made a big difference when I got a vacuum with a bag.
Yuk, it sounds awful!
sugar soap is the only thing that will get the walls clean but I have never successfully washed a wall and not left it streaky, it may be just me but I would skip the sugar soaping and go straight to painting on the walls, but do sugar soap the woodwork and especially the radiators as they will be giving out the smell when they warm up.
Would you consider sanding the floor boards? even the taking the top layer off will make a difference.
There is nothing better than fresh air though once everywhere is clean, its cold but can you keep the doors and windows open as much as possible.
You could also try oil burners/incense for when you have to shut the windows. White vinegar works on getting most smells out of laundry and soft furnishings, i haven't tried it on floors etc
apols for going away and not coming back! Very intermittent broadband at the moment, TalkTalk sorting me out on Friday, so I'll have my lifeline again.
Thanks to everybody for your useful suggestions. I've made a good start with removing the smells and airing the house, and it's now mainly my bedroom (yuk) that smells worst. Working hard on that, as you may imagine.
I don't know whether it's too late for this, but we had cleaners in to the chain-smoker's house we bought and honestly it was the best £200 we spent through the whole move. They hosed down the walls with a big machine and you could see great waves of tar running off. Very messy but worth it. One way or another do make sure the walls get washed before you paint because the smell/stains will just come through.
Then we kept all the doors and windows open for a week (this was in December!) and that took care of it.

It's Super Rugby time! Who is going to win this year's Super Rugby title? Have your say on our Forum!
Cape Town - Cricket South Africa (CSA) has extended sympathy to Titans head coach Matthew Maynard whose 23-year-old son, Tom, passed away under tragic circumstances in London on Monday."It is always a tragedy for somebody to die at such a young age," commented Faul, "and Tom clearly had a lot to offer both cricket and the community in which he lived. He had already made his mark for the England Lions and was set to follow his father on to the full international stage."Our thoughts are very much with the Maynard family and his many friends and admirers in British cricket at this very difficult time."Tom Maynard was killed by a London Undergroud train in the early hours on Monday morning while attempting to flee from police.

Web archiving
Web archiving is the process of collecting portions of the World Wide Web to ensure the information is preserved in an archive for future researchers, historians, and the public. Web archivists typically employ web crawlers for automated capture due to the massive size and amount of information on the Web. The largest web archiving organization based on a bulk crawling approach is the Internet Archive which strives to maintain an archive of the entire Web. The International Web Archiving Workshop (IWAW), begun in 2001, has provided a platform to share experiences and exchange ideas. The later founding of the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC), in 2003, has greatly facilitated international collaboration in developing standards and open source tools for the creation of web archives. These developments, and the growing portion of human culture created and recorded on the web, combine to make it inevitable that more and more libraries and archives will have to face the challenges of web archiving. National libraries, national archives and various consortia of organizations are also involved in archiving culturally important Web content. Commercial web archiving software and services are also available to organizations who need to archive their own web content for corporate heritage, regulatory, or legal purposes.
Collecting the web[edit]
Web archivists generally archive various types of web content including HTML web pages, style sheets, JavaScript, images, and video. They also archive metadata about the collected resources such as access time, MIME type, and content length. This metadata is useful in establishing authenticity and provenance of the archived collection.
Methods of collection[edit]
Remote harvesting[edit]
The most common web archiving technique uses web crawlers to automate the process of collecting web pages. Web crawlers typically access web pages in the same manner that users with a browser see the Web, and therefore provide a comparatively simple method of remote harvesting web content. Examples of web crawlers used for web archiving include:
There exist various free services which may be used to archive web resources "on-demand", using web crawling techniques. These services include the Wayback Machine and WebCite.
Database archiving[edit]
Database archiving refers to methods for archiving the underlying content of database-driven websites. It typically requires the extraction of the database content into a standard schema, often using XML. Once stored in that standard format, the archived content of multiple databases can then be made available using a single access system. This approach is exemplified by the DeepArc and Xinq tools developed by the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the National Library of Australia respectively. DeepArc enables the structure of a relational database to be mapped to an XML schema, and the content exported into an XML document. Xinq then allows that content to be delivered online. Although the original layout and behavior of the website cannot be preserved exactly, Xinq does allow the basic querying and retrieval functionality to be replicated.
Transactional archiving[edit]
Transactional archiving is an event-driven approach, which collects the actual transactions which take place between a web server and a web browser. It is primarily used as a means of preserving evidence of the content which was actually viewed on a particular website, on a given date. This may be particularly important for organizations which need to comply with legal or regulatory requirements for disclosing and retaining information.
A transactional archiving system typically operates by intercepting every HTTP request to, and response from, the web server, filtering each response to eliminate duplicate content, and permanently storing the responses as bitstreams.
Difficulties and limitations[edit]
Web archives which rely on web crawling as their primary means of collecting the Web are influenced by the difficulties of web crawling:
- The robots exclusion protocol may request crawlers not access portions of a website. Some web archivists may ignore the request and crawl those portions anyway.
- Large portions of a web site may be hidden in the deep Web. For example, the results page behind a web form lies in the deep Web because most crawlers cannot follow a link to the results page.
- Crawler traps (e.g., calendars) may cause a crawler to download an infinite number of pages, so crawlers are usually configured to limit the number of dynamic pages they crawl.
However, it is important to note that a native format web archive, i.e., a fully browsable web archive, with working links, media, etc., is only really possible using crawler technology.
The Web is so large that crawling a significant portion of it takes a large amount of technical resources. The Web is changing so fast that portions of a website may change before a crawler has even finished crawling it.
General limitations[edit]
Some web servers are configured to return different pages to web archiver requests than they would in response to regular browser requests. This is typically done to fool search engines into directing more user traffic to a website, and is often done to avoid accountability, or to provide enhanced content only to those browsers that can display it.
Not only must web archivists deal with the technical challenges of web archiving, they must also contend with intellectual property laws. Peter Lyman[1] states that "although the Web is popularly regarded as a public domain resource, it is copyrighted; thus, archivists have no legal right to copy the Web". However national libraries in some countries may have a legal right to copy portions of the web under an extension of a legal deposit.
Some private non-profit web archives that are made publicly accessible like WebCite, the Internet Archive or the Internet Memory Foundation allow content owners to hide or remove archived content that they do not want the public to have access to. Other web archives are only accessible from certain locations or have regulated usage. WebCite cites a recent lawsuit against Google's caching, which Google won.[2]
Aspects of web curation[edit]
Web curation, like any digital curation, entails:
- Certification of the trustworthiness and integrity of the collection content
- Collecting verifiable Web assets
- Providing Web asset search and retrieval
- Semantic and ontological continuity and comparability of the collection content
Thus, besides the discussion on methods of collecting the Web, those of providing access, certification, and organizing must be included. There are a set of popular tools that addresses these curation steps:
A suite of tools for Web Curation by International Internet Preservation Consortium:
- Heritrix - collecting Web asset
- NutchWAX - search Web archive collections
- Open source Wayback Machine - search and navigate Web archive collections using NutchWax
- Web Curator Tool - Selection and Management of Web Collection[3]
Other open source tools for manipulating web archives:
- WARC Tools - for creating, reading, parsing and manipulating, web archives programmatically
- Google Search Tools - for indexing and searching full-text and metadata within web archives[citation needed]
Free but not open source tools also exists:
- WSDK - WARC Software Development Kit (WSDK) represents a set of simple, compact, and highly optimized Erlang modules to manipulate (create/read/write) the WARC ISO 28500:2009 file format.
