This prog looks awesome.
Too bad i'm not enough experienced to install it. Says "cannot find X libraries".
well... the installation went without any big hazzles. but i cant figure out why this prog wont capture any trafic at all. it runs fine but not showing anything. anyone with the same problem.
It has to used in conjunction with another attack like arp poisoning. I had a lot of trouble getting it working, how did you manage it?
Thanks man..! Worked beautifully with ARP poisoning..
Any thanks alot for the ARP poisoning tip.. Great help Bro!
Not sure what the above ramblings were about. however no you can use this tool outside a wlan / lan. MSN Shadow does support analysing PCAPS so that could help you.
As mentioned though, read the forum rules.
ridin dirty", because I see you.
I would also suggest a re look at the rules you want to uphold while you are here.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track

A fugitive ex-Los Angeles police officer sought in three killings was believed barricaded in a cabin Tuesday after a furious gunbattle with police in the snow-covered mountains of Southern California, authorities said, the culmination of an intensive manhunt that left a region on edge for nearly a week.
Two officers were injured and were being airlifted to a hospital, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said. The extent of their injuries wasn't known.
Officers have been swarming the snow-covered Big Bear region since Thursday, when they found the burned-out pickup truck of Christopher Dorner. The former Navy reservist killed a former police captain's daughter and her fiance and a Riverside officer, and injured two other officers, police said, promising to bring "warfare" to Los Angeles police and their family members.
But, until Tuesday, authorities didn't know whether Dorner was still near Big Bear or had fled, and thousands of officers were searching for him across three states and Mexico.
At a midafternoon news conference, LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said he could not confirm whether Dorner was in the cabin but urged the fugitive to surrender.
"Enough is enough," Smith said. "It's time for you to turn yourself in. It's time to end the bloodshed."
The developments in the nearly weeklong massive manhunt began about 12:20 p.m. Tuesday when deputies in the Big Bear area got a report of a stolen vehicle in the area, the sheriff's office said. The people whose vehicle was stolen described the suspect as looking similar to Dorner.
When authorities found the vehicle, the suspect, believed to be Dorner, ran into the forest and barricaded himself inside a cabin. A short time later there was an exchange of gunfire between law enforcement and the suspect.
U.S. Forest Service spokesman John Miller said the gunfight began with California Department of Fish and Wildlife game wardens at 12:42 p.m. Tuesday, which is about 20 minutes after a vehicle was reported stolen nearby.
After the initial exchange, there was a second battle with San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies, two of whom were wounded, he said.
Authorities have not released information on the extent of their injuries.
It's also believed Dorner committed a residential burglary of a cabin where a couple was tied up, an officer told The Associated Press.
The officer requested anonymity because the officer was not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation.
One of the people was able to get away and make a call. It's not clear if that's the same person who called police about the carjacking.
Road blocks were set up around Big Bear.
The shootout occurred in Seven Oaks off Highway 38, about five miles as the crow flies from where Dorner's pickup was found. A ridge with peaks topping 8,000 feet lies between the locations. By road, the two areas are about 30 miles apart.
The former Navy reservist began his run from the law on Feb. 6 after authorities connected the slayings of a former police captain's daughter and her fiance with an angry manifesto they said Dorner posted on Facebook. He vowed to bring "warfare" to Los Angeles police and their family members, which led the department to assign officers to guard more than 50 families connected to his so-called targets.
Within hours of the release of photos of the 6-foot, 270-pounder described as armed and "extremely dangerous," Dorner allegedly unsuccessfully tried to steal a boat in San Diego to flee to Mexico and then ambushed police in Riverside County, shooting three and killing one.
Jumpy officers guarding one of his targets in Torrance on Thursday shot and injured two women delivering newspapers because they mistook their pickup truck for Dorner's.
The hunt for Dorner appeared to go cold after his burned-out pickup was found later that morning in the mountains east of Los Angeles and his footprints disappeared on frozen ground.
Police found charred weapons and camping gear inside the truck, but it wasn't clear if he had fled into the San Bernardino Mountains near the resort town of Big Bear Lake or left the area.
Helicopters using heat-seeking technology searched the forest from above while scores of officers, some using bloodhounds, scoured the ground and checked hundreds of vacation cabins - many vacant this time of year - in the area. A snowstorm hindered the search and may have helped cover his tracks, though authorities were hopeful he would leave fresh footprints if hiding in the wilderness.
Dorner's beef with the department dated back at least five years, when he was fired for filing a false report accusing his training officer of kicking a mentally ill suspect. Dorner, who is black, claimed in his manifesto that he was the subject of racism by the department and fired for doing the right thing.
He said he would get even with those who wronged him in an event to reclaim his good name.
"You're going to see what a whistleblower can do when you take everything from him especially his NAME!!!" he wrote. "You have awoken a sleeping giant."
Chief Charlie Beck, who initially dismissed the allegations in Dorner's rant, said he would reopen the investigation into his firing - not to appease the ex-officer, but to restore confidence in the black community, which long had a fractured relationship with police that has improved in recent years.
One of the targets listed in the manifesto was former LAPD Capt. Randal Quan, who represented Dorner before the disciplinary board. Dorner claimed he put the interests of the department above his.
The first victims were Quan's daughter, Monica Quan, 28, a college basketball coach, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, 27, who were shot multiple times in their car in a parking garage near their condo.
Dorner served in the Navy, earning a rifle marksman ribbon and pistol expert medal. He was assigned to a naval undersea warfare unit and various aviation training units, according to military records. He took leave from the LAPD for a six-month deployment to Bahrain in 2006 and 2007.

"As users grow increasingly more frustrated when their purchased content can be delivered to other iOS devices through iCloud"
Do you mean "can't" or "cannot"?
Yup, noticed that the Back to the Future films are now sowing up in my iCloud library. I love how digital copies of BluRays are available and stream in 1080p on my new aTV. Very nice not having to go grab a disk and put it in.
On the other side of this coin, that new UltraViolet crap service that some studios are using instead of digital copies is for the birds! It discriminates against iOS users as we can stream that content. A-holes. I hope it fails and dies a horrible death ...
The overall problem with copyright law, is that it's routinely twisted around by lawyers and ignorant copyright holders, as well as corporations that intentionally mislead people and judges alike into thinking that they have more power than they really do. Much the same applies to patents in many ways too, in that both are routinely abused to high hell. The moral: know your rights, and don't allow your self to simply intimidated into submission.
6 accounts per household: What if a new family buys the house?
12 devices per account: As devices get cheaper, and more types of devices come out, we will be hitting this limit quickly. Also what if the device I prefer isn't on board with this DRM scheme?
No DRM is a good DRM. Ditch DRM and watch piracy go down. Lower the prices on non-physical media as well, and watch piracy all but disappear. I never put up with DRM. It's BS. In fact the only reason I buy things from iTunes (besides apps which can't work on other devices anyway) is because I know I can use Requiem to strip the DRM. I can now watch my purchases on my XBox, my PS3, my iPad, my Linux computer (where iTunes, and iCloud still don't exist) and I can read my eBooks on my computer. (Why can't I read iBooks books on my Mac yet Apple?)
We should all get together on a petition site to end DRM.
There are, however, certain websites that provide stream services for movies, television shows, and anime shows without the need to jailbreak.
Everyone should also remember that before iCloud, the next greatest thing is to download media on PC/Mac, convert, and put into iTunes library. Sync and be done. iCloud is more an Apple Store service to distribute purchases/personal media over all available iDevices, nothing more.

A TAUNTON college is launching its own driving school for students for the start of the new term.
Richard Huish College, in association with driving instructors Green 4 Go, will kick start their 'Huish Driving School – Drive Your Success' campaign in September by offering hundreds of students the chance to venture out under controlled supervision and learn the rules of the road.
Learners will be conveniently picked up and dropped off at college, with lesson times built into their timetable at regular slots and can be easily booked through the college. Students will receive free access to an online theory website as well as driving theory sessions at the college.
Huish Driving School lead Gavin Whitworth said: "One of the things that most students do during their time at college is start to learn to drive so the launch of Huish Driving School is a fantastic way in which we can provide further services to our students and enhance their experience of the college. The driving lessons can be timetabled into student's free periods making it convenient for them to fit the training into their college day."
Green 4 Go Co-Director and instructor Simon Holland said: "We're delighted to be working with Richard Huish College on this exciting new venture. It's fantastic that the students will benefit in this way and be taught how to drive safely on our roads."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/10/2013 (1419 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
This city has always been run by the old boys' club, even before the historically defining days of the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike.
Sometimes, of course, that "club" has run the city not out of self-interest, but for the better of all. The foresight of creating Assiniboine Park comes to mind.
More often, though, it's been perceived as being what's best for them.
Case in point: the two old chums in the top city hall jobs, the mayor and his CAO.
We all know how Sam Katz got his job -- fairly. He was elected and twice re-elected.
How his close personal pal, Phil Sheegl, the former real estate agent who was first hired as Winnipeg's director of planning, could have been the best candidate in a nationwide search to fill the city's top administrative job still eludes me.
But today I want to concentrate on the worrisome woes of another example of "the club" at work, this time within another club.
Coincidentally, Phil Sheegl is connected to that one, too. I refer, of course, to the Winnipeg Football Club and its board of directors, where Sheegl sits as the city's representative, and specifically its demonstrably disastrous recent history of executive hiring.
You remember Garth Buchko? The board hired him in January 2012 to take over as the Bombers' CEO.
His first year, and the organization as a whole, was miserable, thanks in large part to stadium construction delays that weren't his fault. They weren't necessarily Phil Sheegl's fault either, but he sat as the chairman of BBB Stadium, which was responsible.
Then last August, with the football club floundering, Buchko tried to take the knife to general manager Joe Mack -- another board hire -- only to be fired by the board before he could offer up his subordinate as the sacrificial lamb for the Bombers' on- and off-field chaos.
It didn't work.
Before Buchko could take the knife to Mack, the board president used it on the CEO himself, named former Bomber Wade Miller as his interim replacement and left it to him to carry out Mack's dismissal. As with Sheegl's appointment, how Garth Buchko and Joe Mack were ever hired in the first place remains a mystery to many Bomber fans.
Not to me. What it looks and smells like is the old boys just being old boys and hiring their own.
Back in 2011, the Bombers hired a head-hunting team and tasked it with doing a continent-wide search for a Bomber CEO.
After scouring North America, who did they recommend? A Winnipeg radio station general manager named Garth Buchko.
Apparently the recommendation was made on the strength of his knowledge of the local market, specifically the entertainment side. And, no doubt, his local connections. After all, he was already one of the old boys. The station he managed, CJOB, has broadcast the team's games for decades.
As for Joe Mack, he was a former Bomber director of player personnel from the 1980s, and he later worked for several NFL teams, but he had been out of football for years when he applied for the GM job with the Bombers in 2010.
The Bomber board's selection committee had desperately tried to hire assistant GM Brendan Taman, but he was intent on heading home to take the Saskatchewan GM position.
Mack knew two of the five members on the Bomber board's selection committee -- former Bombers Paul Robson and Joe Poplawski. The others on the committee were David Asper, Gene Dunn and Bill Watchorn.
While the recommendation to hire Mack was unanimous -- or so I'm informed -- I'm also told it was Robson's and Poplawski's recommendation that had the most to do with hiring Mack.
People in organizations do tend to hire people they know or have worked with, and often it works out. The problem is that while I'm told Mack's references were checked and nothing "untoward" came up, I wonder how diligent that due-diligence process really was.
Which brings us to another old boy.
Wade Miller is not only a former Bomber, but one of his companies had a business arrangement at the new stadium before he was hired as interim CEO. I am told by someone who's a big Miller fan that he's "an extremely intelligent guy," even if his management style tends to be "abrupt and gruff."
Of course, his big fan also happens to be another Bombers old boy.
I have some reservations about Miller. The Bombers don't need a bull of a CEO leading the charge in their executive office, particularly at an already tumultuous time like now. They also don't need a guy at the top who -- from what I notice in the paper -- doesn't make every effort to return media calls.
What it comes down to is this: The Bomber board, and the football team, can't afford to hire anyone but the best candidate to lead the organization. Not the next convenient old boy in line.

"It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so." — Will Rogers
Sean Christmann of EffectiveUI benchmarks Flash and HTML drawing and video on various current devices. Flash drawing performance is usually a multiple of each of the "HTML5" engines, save for video where the availability of hardware acceleration controls all. (Jan Ozer had more on video acceleration last year.)
Background: Rich-media performance is hard. Even simple audio-mixing is hard, when you figure in latency and switching… HTML5 audio problems today are reminiscent of the first cross-OS media runtimes in the mid-1990s. Realworld video isn't as simple as just adding a VIDEO tag… you need to make it work. Most runtime engines can't afford to go as deeply into optimization issues as those who write engines for a wider base. Even when one runtime increases its JavaScript performance or its drawing performance, that doesn't help when you need to run on more than one runtime.
Will the HTML runtimes continue to improve? Of course. Will Flash continue to improve and further diversify its support? Of course. Will commercial social-media accounts assert that Flash is slow and a battery hog, despite evidence to the contrary? That is, of course, possible. But here's how Sean wrapped up his testing:
"The Flash VM performs really well on mobile chipsets and I don't see any evidence here to support the idea that Flash is slow on smartphones and tablets."

AS a boy Steve Everson dreamed of being a pilot after a visit to the cockpit of a Boeing 737 on a trip to Spain.
"After that, I'd throw sheets over my bunkbed and pretend I was flying," says the 42-year-old broadcast engineer, from Bacup.
And although he now has a glider's licence, he's invested £40,000 and 10 years of his life building a flight simulator which he's turned into a business from an industrial unit at Toll Bar Business Park in Stacksteads.
So how does one start building a life-size model of a Boeing 737-800 Winglets?
"Well, it started with a joystick and just sort of grew," says Steve, who sources actual and replica parts from all over the country.
The welding, electronics and all the clever stuff, he's learned from books.
In fact so life-like is Steve's 'sim' that film companies are interested in using it for location shots and it's easy to see why.
His interest in all things aeronautical has also brought him romance and marriage.
His wife Vicky, 32, was wooed by pictures of his flight deck on Facebook. And it's just as well that she shares his interest since he had to cut a hole in the bathroom wall of their last house to accommodate the growing cockpit.
"I'm as obsessed with aeroplanes as much as Steve," she says.
"I'm a bit of a tomboy and my dad always used to take me plane spotting when I was a kid.
"We had a caravan in Norfolk and I used to sit near the end of the runway at RAF Coltishall watching the planes.
"I love military aircraft so much that I want Steve to build me a tornado simulator next."
In his role as Captain, Steve wears a pilot's uniform and aviators – as you'd expect. Even the couple's Jack Russell, Alf, gets into the roleplay.
"In his high-vis jacket he welcomes customers as Flex Airlines' sniffer dog.
After coffee and biscuits and a quick sniff from Alf to ensure I'm not carrying illegal substances, Captain Steve leads me to the Boeing's door.
At this point, I'm a little bemused as it's just a plane door, nothing else.
But as he throws it open, I'm suddenly in a plane with roomy leather passenger seats – clearly not modelled on Ryanair – and tiny windows with a familiar landscape in view.
"This is Manchester Airport. I'm tempted to order a vodka and tonic. Now, I'm no expert on cockpits, but it looked like the real thing to me. Manchester Airport's main building was visible ahead of us.
In fact, there are 250 countries in the sim's database, so I could have tried a daring approach into Innsbruck in the Austrian Alps or the famous checkerboard approach into Hong Kong's Kai Tak airport. But Manchester was cool for a virgin flight.
Captain Steve invited me to take the co-pilot's seat and instructed me to put on the headphones.
He talked me through a vast array of flimsy looking levers and switches, none of which registered with my girlie brain.
I did, however, clock the brake lever which didn't look anywhere near big enough to stop a runaway Boeing.
I also learned that a half wheel to my right was for steering the plane as it taxied along the runway and the rather strange wheel in my lap required pushing and pulling to lift or lower the plane. Simples!
Within 30 seconds of taxiing, I'd decided that I had no aptitude for flying when I missed the runway and demolished the airport. "I can't break it can I?," I asked nervously. Captain Steve laughed in the way pilot's laugh when they're about to hit the eject button.
So after he straightened us up, we had lift off. Not bad for a first attempt.
I circled the airport a couple of times, waved to my mum in Altrincham and it was time to find the runway once more and land.
Now hitting the runway was a skill in itself.
I missed it entirely, churned up most of the Cheshire countryside and felled a forest.
The second attempt was equally catastrophic. It's not as easy as it looks.
"It's not like driving a car, it's more like shepherding in the sky. A light touch is required," says the Captain.
Flex Airlines has clients from all walks of life, corporates, simulator enthusiasts, children, people who are afraid to fly – 'one lady was so scared that she couldn't even get into the taxi for the airport'.
Thankfully Captain Cooke wasn't flying that day.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Rachel Roy was at Vera Wang's NY Fashion Week show Tuesday, in a choice seat next to John Legend. Tory Burch regularly attends the shows of Narciso Rodriguez and Proenza Schouler. Diane von Furstenberg always makes room for Oscar de la Renta, and Tommy Hilfiger took in Belstaff.
Fashion has a reputation for being cutthroat, but there are friendships and mentorships as well that don't always get their due.
"I'm a big believer in supporting others," Burch said in a backstage interview.
Models are part of the glue here, too. Jessica Stam made it to the Chelsea space where Thom Browne was showing and Coco Rocha made a quick change from von Furstenberg's front row to Zac Posen's backstage.
Karlie Kloss was on the red carpet for the Grammy Awards, hosting coverage for MTV. She took an overnight flight from Los Angeles to New York to walk in Carolina Herrera's morning show Monday.
"These are my friends. That's why I got back in time. It's a family reunion at Fashion Week," Kloss said. "It's a common misconception that we don't get along but its not really true. ... To have a long career, you have to get along."
Roy decided to take her show digital this year, which meant an earlier deadline for her looks. She found the newfound freedom had at least one unexpected perk: "I can go to more of my friends' shows!"
The big question mark on Day 6 of the fall previews in New York is whether John Galliano, who is on a three-week guest stint at de la Renta's studio, will attend the designer's catwalk later in the day.
Mark Badgley and James Mischka are big movie buffs, and it shows in their clothes as they always seem attracted to silver-screen femme fatales.
Their fall collection had a film-noir vibe that always does well for them on the modern Hollywood red carpet. This time, the inspiration was Alfred Hitchcock movies -- their favorite being "Vertigo."
Kim Novak as a muse makes so much sense, Badgley said. "She's confident with a little bit of a dark, sexy side."
She also wears polished silhouettes like pencil skirts, fur stoles, halter-top gowns and tops with peplums very well, which fits the Badgley Mischka aesthetic perfectly.
This customer, though, also likes her shine. For fall, she gets a black-and-oyster lame dress, a metallic tweed suit and a jet-black silk and wool gown with a beaded back, cutout bodice and mermaid hemline.
Burch has a confession she shared on the runwy: "I love bugs -- at least from a design standpoint."
She decorated a chiffon button-down shirt with scarabs and used jeweled ones on a silk skirt. Embellished dragonflies were subtly placed on some of the shoes -- remember Burch's roots are in accessories -- making them an instant, must-have status symbol.
But Burch didn't go looking in dark corners for inspiration. She tried to envelop metallic fabrics, the textures of Gustav Klimt's portraits and a free-spirited mood all into the overarching theme of Art Nouveau.
She found inspiration in many weekend outings to The Neue Galerie. "I was an art history major. ... I just like to go to see the Klimts. I love his attention to color, detail and texture."
Design sisters Laura and Kate Mulleavy grew up in sunny Santa Cruz, Calif., and evoked their seaside hometown in their fall collection.
But perhaps only to them. "It's really our own version of it," Laura Mulleavy said backstage.
The beachy feel came across most strongly in prints -- especially a tie-dye motif in silk satin, which appeared in a host of flowing gowns in pink, blue, red and black.
There were even some Grateful Dead references in the mix -- with the iconic Northern California band appearing via brilliant red-rose embroidery on the fanciest dresses, along with Swarovski crystals.
In the collection's most unusual element, many of the tie-dye gowns were embellished with large, futuristic-looking collars and other attached pieces made of what the sisters call 3-D double-faced foam.
John Legend and fiance model Chrissy Teigen, Jada Pinkett Smith and Christine Baranski were on the front row to see ready-to-wear collection of Vera Wang.
Wang has embraced a high level of artistry for her bridal and red-carpet customers, but it was new for her ready to wear. "It was time for us to raise the bar," she said.
"It's going to be all about the collaging of different fabrics, different scales, different textures and different embroideries," she explained.
The first look out was a refined black wool sleeveless coat with an exaggerated arm and capelike collar that was paired with a racer-neckline shift dress. Wang folded fabric like origami to create wool-silk tops, and then topped them over the chest with a silk band.
For eveningwear, if anyone could start the trend for trousers on the red carpet, it's Wang. Her finale rose-printed gray jacquard chiffon blouse and delicate evening robe worn with gray rose-printed pants would be a strong contender.
Fresh off the positive feedback for her high-end label, Beckham offered "zip-and-go" dressing for her more affordable line.
More affordable -- but to a point, as Beckham herself acknowledged. "It's still expensive," she noted, "but a little less, and maybe something more women can buy."
Beckham said she focused the collection on the concept of easy, quick dressing. "You don't have to think about it -- you just get inside and go," she said.
As an example, she cited her very first item at Tuesday's presentation: A sleeveless gray wool jumper with a low V-neck and white button-down shirt attached inside.
The younger, trendier line of Marc Jacobs was a polished and quiet throwback to the 1960s.
He stuck mostly with pant suits, wool shift or trapeze dresses and coats in solids, accented with a sprinkling of white-and-black stripes and large leaf prints in autumnal red, orange-red, green, purple and a rich deep blue.
The female models, with fluffy curled hair and bright red lips, looked like they were ready to get on an airline flight to mix a little business with pleasure, while the men in plaid wool blazers could have been running off to a campus club meeting.
Trousers for both genders provided an updated look to the mod-style dresses and coats.
Turk focused her presentation on "elevating the sophistication level of what we do. More layered looks, textures and rich colors."
Those rich, fall-like colors were readily visible: Plums, as in a crepe jumpsuit with a silk georgette blouse and long leather plum gloves. Wines, as in a lush lamb and rabbit coat. Purples, as in a bright toggle coat. Or saffron, as in a pair of patchwork trousers.
There was also a wildly colorful column dress in what Turk calls an "Embarcadero" print. And there were shorts, albeit in fall and winter fabrics, like houndstooth.

In the end, however they started, the Democrats' race-based solutions have turned out rather less well than was planned. They did get more nonwhites into elite schools on a preference system, but many dropped out before graduation, victims of "mismatch," having been pushed up just one notch or so over the level at which they might have excelled. Democrats did reap a quick fix of minority congressmen, but at the expense of raising a cadre of national leaders, making them spokesmen for one race and not for the others, and leaving them unprepared to appeal across group boundaries.
Democrats would have done better, as arguably would minority groups themselves, had the voters now concentrated in race-based districts been spread through several districts, in which they would be swing votes, if not the majority, thus making surrounding districts a lot less Republican. As Kraushaar noted after the 2010 midterms, "of the 75 black, Hispanic, and Asian-American Democrats in Congress and governorships," only 9 won in venues that were majority white. Unfortunately, for the Democrats, almost all 50 states are majority-white, not to mention the country as a whole, and if and when this stops being true of the country, no one other race will prevail. Thus, this design has been a dead end for the Democrats: There are few new Obamas in the national pipeline, while Republicans have about six blacks, Hispanics, and Asian Americans who would make plausible national candidates.
That said, the Republicans have a problem, since, as the New Yorker has cogently noted, "getting Republicans to vote for a black candidate and blacks to vote for a Republican candidate" are two different things. As it turned out, the first part was easy: The GOP in 1996 tried to draft Colin Powell for president, welcomed his appointment as secretary of state, cheered the appointment of Condoleezza Rice to succeed him, gave her a standing ovation at the Republican convention in 2012 when she described her rise from her childhood in the segregated city of Birmingham, and would have been delighted had she been on the ticket as vice president. The Tea Party, routinely caricatured in the media as the KKK redux, has brought the GOP an influx of nonwhites and women, backing Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Nikki Haley, and Tim Scott against more establishment figures.

When about 30 Muscovy ducks commandeered the community swimming pool, pooping in the water and on the deck, something had to be done.
The homeowners at Woodland Villages loved the ducks that lived at the pond on their property. They even installed protective signs asking people to watch out for the birds. But when about 30 Muscovy ducks commandeered the community swimming pool, pooping in the water and on the deck, something had to be done.
"This is the first time since we had them when they actually landed in our pool," said Bob Dejohn, who sits on the Woodland Villages Homeowners Association board. "We never, ever had the ducks going in the pool. They have always been in our pond. That has never been a problem."
A federal permit was obtained and a private company hired to remove the ducks. On Thursday, after the pool had been closed for two months, the Marion County Health Department cleared it for opening.
The problem started about two months ago at Woodland Villages, which is at Southeast 17th Street and Southeast 25th Avenue. Because of the mess the birds were creating, and the concern about health hazards that might arise, the association closed the pool until it could figure out how to evict the ducks.
"We have a lot of young children in our development and we didn't want to take any chance with anything like that," Dejohn said.
There are 285 families living in Woodland Villages, he said. The large pool accommodates 75 people.
Dejohn said he was surprised that the ducks would go in the pool, which has chlorine in it.
"When you see them swimming in it, you know it's not a deterrent," Dejohn said. "They won't get out. They got very bold."
Wes Herren, Woodland Villages' property manager, said he thinks the birds started using the pool when the pond levels fell because of a rain deficit.
"Their pond was so nasty, so they had to find something else," Herren said. "The ducks are congregating at the pool to clean themselves and do their stuff and leave."
He said there are other developments and private homes in the area that have ducks going into the pools.
At first, the Woodland Villages homeowners strung fishing line across the pool, thinking that might deter the birds — the same kind that once menaced Tuscawilla Park near downtown Ocala.
The fishing line didn't work.
"They came in sometimes and stayed at night and really messed up the place," Herren said. "We spent thousands pressure washing, cleaning, and trying to maintain it for the owners to enjoy it."
The ducks also were at the pool during the day.
"They flew over the pool fence," Dejohn said.
When the fishing line did not work, the homeowner board decided it had to find another way.
Under federal law, because Muscovy ducks are non-native to Florida, the birds may not be moved to another location unless they are going to be contained in a way they cannot escape.
"We had to apply for a federal permit," Herren said. "We found a company willing to do that."
The homeowners reluctantly hired Trutech Inc., headquartered in Marietta, Ga., to remove the birds.
"It's unfortunate, but you have owners who want to use the pool," Herren said.
He said for years, they have cleaned up after the ducks because the homeowners enjoyed the birds. But, because of the health concerns with the fouled water, the pool would remain off limits had the birds remained.
Dejohn has been keeping an eye on the situation. As of Friday morning, there was no sign of any ducks.

Jenner is a Web page templating system with a twist: it runs completely within a Web browser. Templates are just normal Web pages with special syntax inside text nodes, attributes, or comments. Unlike other in-browser templating systems, Jenner does not require overloading of "class" attributes or invalid HTML; all Jenner templates are valid Web pages and the template expressions flow in a very natural way. Having the template engine in the Web browser instead of on the server takes a lot of load off of the server, and makes for a clean separation of presentation and content. Jenner is very powerful: it has the full power of the Esel expression language at its disposal. Templates can be rendered from JSON data, and can be re-rendered without a browser-to-server round trip.

The Klothing Vault is a second-hand shop, a storefront along Everett's Hewitt Avenue. It's only footsteps from where fire destroyed the downtown McCrossen Building.
To Kristen Snow, who kept her business open through long, dreary months after the Nov. 8 fire, it's more than a place where she sells used clothes.
It's a hope. It's a new start.
"It's like the phoenix," said Snow, likening the shop she opened just two days before the fire to the mythical bird that rises from ashes.
The walk in front of Snow's shop at 1810 Hewitt Ave. was still blocked with a "Sidewalk Closed" sign late last week. A few customers still wandered in, browsing racks and shelves in the long, narrow store. Fashionable boots, prom dresses, baby items, men's and women's jeans, shirts and jackets, Snow has clothes for every age and size.
That's how she was able to help immediately after the fire, which killed one man and displaced about 40 residents of the 118-year-old apartment building.
The night of the fire, two day days after Snow's grand opening, she had gone home to the Smokey Point area townhouse she shares with her three youngest children. A single mom, she has lived since late 2011 in a Housing Hope transitional housing complex.
Snow, 40, was ready for bed Nov. 8 when she got a call from a friend who works in a bar across the street from the Klothing Vault. The building on the corner was in flames. Snow rushed back to Everett and was relieved to see that "we were still standing."
She couldn't get into her store, so she and a friend went to Comcast Arena, where people who had fled the fire were sheltered. They talked with helpers from the Snohomish County Chapter of the American Red Cross.
With about $45, she said they went to a Walmart and bought socks and a pair of shoes for someone who was shoeless after the fire, then returned to the arena. "Oh, my gosh, you have never seen people so happy for one pair of socks," Snow said.
Snow also handed out Klothing Vault cards for anyone affected by the fire to go to her shop for free clothing — two pairs of pants, two shirts, a coat and a pair of shoes for each person. "They were all used except maybe two," she said.
After the fire, the Klothing Vault became a place for fire victims to pick up household items. Stephanie Onustack, who works in the shop with Snow, said that through friends they gathered towels, blankets, dishes and even two beds for fire survivors.
Snow knows well from experience what it's like to be in need.
Her business has struggled since the fire, but Snow is working to dig out from years of hard times. In 2008, her marriage ended after a decade. They are still in the process of divorcing, said Snow, whose previous name was Kristen Keck.
Everett's Klothing Vault is only the latest business with that name. Snow had to close her Klothing Vault in Arlington at the end of 2011, after falling behind in rent.
Earlier in 2011, the family lost their Arlington home to foreclosure. Snow said she wasn't able to negotiate a loan modification. For a time, Snow and her girls lived in the back of the Arlington shop after losing the house. "It was like camping," she said.
In good times and bad, Snow has been a worker. For 17 years she was a bartender at Jimmy Z's in Everett, now Tony V's Garage, just up the street from her shop. "I set goals. I saved $20,000 from bartending," said Snow, who also worked as a bookkeeper.
She opened her first used-clothing shop with an income-tax refund. After losing the Arlington shop, she put her clothing inventory into storage and for awhile went back to bartending.
She has five girls, ages 20, 19, 14, 11 and 8. One of the older kids was a foster child she adopted. "Boy, are they my life," said Snow, who drives from her shop to Arlington daily to get her kids from school. The girls often help in the shop.
Snow has tried to provide what she missed as a child. She said she spent part of her childhood with relatives after drugs and alcohol ruined her mother's life. Her father, she said, was in a motorcycle club. Today, Snow brags about her daughters' good grades.
With business off since the fire, Snow said her landlord Pete Sikov has been patient about rent that's slow to come. Sikov also owns the McCrossen property, where demolition is underway.
"He has seen how hard we have worked," said Snow, who built shelves that line the shop walls.
Despite the fire and all that came before it, Snow is thankful for a fresh start. As you leave her store, a sign above the door says "Thank you for your smile."
She's glad she stayed on Hewitt after the fire. "We didn't make a penny through that whole time, but we were helping. I believe that's exactly why we were here," she said.
Snow was amazed the shop and its contents didn't have smoke or major water damage. She can't wait for that sidewalk to open.
"I know it will be successful," Snow said.

Temporary Thaw Begins In New Jersey
New Jersey is still under a State of Emergency but a bit of a warm-up will begin today and continue into Monday, when another deep freeze is forecast.After a night of temperatures around zero and wind chills below zero, the wind will diminish during the day Saturday and temperatures will rise into the 20s, enabling all those road salts and and chemicals to work.
Temperatures will be cold enough on Sunday morning for precipitation to begin falling as freezing rain in Middlesex, Mercer, Hunterdon, Somerset, Sussex, Morris and Warren counties for a Freezing Rain Advisory to be issued for slick roads.
According to WeatherUnderground.com, Sussex was New Jersey's cold spot with a low of -9. Toms River and Somerville recorded temperatures of -7 while Millville and Lakehurst NAS reached -6.
Governor Chris Christie (R) used Twitter to report that the State of Emergency declared for Friday's snow storm remained in effect because NJ Department of Transportation officials were concerned about black ice and the extreme cold . "We'll continue to monitor conditions & officials will lift restrictions as appropriate," Christie tweeted.
There were a number of accidents overnight into Saturday morning, some blocking lanes on the Garden State Parkway, I-295, I-287 and Route 35.
Christie was on Twitter during much of the storm, commenting on pictures of kids in the snow, complimenting snow crews and posting a clip of the "Hercules" scene from Eddie Murphy's "The Nutty Professor," in a reference to the Weather Channel's name for the first snowstorm of 2014.
My kids said the same RT @MoreBuckets: The #hercules hashtag reminds me of this: http://t.co/vdJyBuXw7V @GovChristie
— Governor Christie (@GovChristie) January 3, 2014
More precipitation is forecast for Sunday, expected to start as snow before turning first to a wintry mix, then rain as temperatures rise into the low 40s. But temperatures are expected to fall to Arctic levels again on Monday and Tuesday.

Firing metal in kilns? Help
Posted 14 December 2012 - 06:32 PM
Posted 14 December 2012 - 06:57 PM
Hi, I make buttons and beads but I can only glaze part of them, I would like to glaze the whole piece! I would like to make a clay shaft with nails or wire sticking out everywhere like a dead tree so I can glaze the whole piece and stick each piece on a branch. Does anyone have information that would help me? It would be greatly appreciated thanks!
I have never used one, but I know I have seen bead trees and bead racks available at ceramic supply stores/online. I believe the wire or metal used must be able to handle the temperature. The wire itself is also available (used for hangers and such on sculptures). There is probably wire available at hardware suppliers that is rated for the temperature you are using.

Several weeks ago, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) heard oral arguments regarding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or "Obama Care" to its detractors. It is thought that a decision will be rendered sometime in June. It is possible that the decision will have been announced before this editorial will have been published, perhaps making these remarks superfluous. Nevertheless, I have heard some legal scholars call the impending decision the most important regarding health care since Roe vs. Wade. However, most Americans and some clinicians do not understand the essence of the ACA or what issues were argued before SCOTUS.
The ACA is a complex piece of legislation.1 It is nearly 2000 pages long. It contains several popular provisions such as allowing children to remain on their parents' insurance until age 26, removal of restrictions on lifetime and annual dollar limits and increased coverage for preventative health services. However, the primary focus of contention is the "individual mandate" or the requirement that everyone purchase health insurance or pay a penalty. The primary rationale for the "individual mandate" is that unless everyone, healthy or not, has insurance, the risk pool will not be sufficiently large to keep insurance premiums affordable. The opposing view is that the federal government does not have the power to force a person to purchase something they do not currently need and/or that it is bad health policy.2 Of course, the current SCOTUS arguments are solely focused on the power of the federal government because states already mandate that drivers purchase automobile insurance, and that one state, Massachusetts, already has an individual health insurance mandate from which the federal law was modeled! It is beyond the scope of this editorial and my own legal expertise to coherently explain the legal arguments on both sides of this question. I will say that this particular issue would be moot if our country like many others in the civilized world would have single payer universal health coverage.
What are the possible decisions that SCOTUS could make? There are 3 possible outcomes. First, the entire law could be upheld. In that case, the debate would continue through the November elections and possibly be a significant factor in determining its outcome. The act's provisions would continue unless it was amended or repealed by Congress. Second, only the individual mandate could be declared unconstitutional, leaving the other sections intact. If this were to occur, some believe that there would be a dramatic rise in insurance premiums because there would be insufficient premiums from those currently with coverage to fund the additional mandates of the ACA.3 Third, the entire law could be ruled as unconstitutional. In this case, we would be left in the same situation as before the law was passed. There would be those with health insurance, those who could buy insurance, but do not and those who cannot afford insurance. Furthermore, all of the aforementioned cited provisions not related to the individual mandate would no longer be required. Importantly for clinicians, the government would not be encouraging accountable care organizations for Medicare recipients, and there would not be an expansion of Medicaid for the indigent patients.
Irrespective of the final decision, it is unlikely to be unanimous which is not surprising when you consider how divided our country is on many important issues. However, there will be one certainty—the ramifications on the delivery of health care in the United States will be affected for years to come.

Bramhope's Olympic gold medallist Alistair Brownlee has won three national honours.
He was awarded the Olympic Athlete of the Year at the British Triathlon annual awards ceremony in Birmingham, and was named GE British Triathlon Male Elite Triathlete of the Year for the fifth successive year.
Also Alistair, his brother Jonny, who won bronze, and Stuart Hayes collected the Peter Holmes Award for Inspirational Performance in International Compet- ition for their efforts in the London Games.
In what has been Britain's most successful ever year in the sport, men's Olympic champion Brownlee delighted hundreds of thousands in Hyde Park, and inspired millions more with his dominant gold medal-winning performance.
On an evening designed to celebrate outstanding success, over 400 guests stood to recognise the former Bradford Grammar School pupil and the other five London Olympians.
The elder Brownlee said: "Until the Olympics I never understood it when someone would say it takes a while to sink in, but it's definitely taken a while to sink in. I didn't know how I would feel when I crossed the finishing line because it's a dream I've had since I was eight years old, but it's finally sunk in now and I'm ready to move on and achieve some more targets.
"I've never had the chance to race in the Common- wealth Games, so I'm looking forward to that and lots of other new things."
Coaches involved in the success of the Brownlee Brothers were recognised on Tuesday night at the 2012 UK Coaching Awards at the Lancaster Hotel in London.
The Coaching Chain award was presented to five coaches who have helped shape the careers of the Brownlees including their current coaches, Jack Maitland and Malcolm Brown.
The event, hosted by Sports Coach UK, helps to raise the profile of coaches and the vital role they play encouraging participation, performance and excellence.
Jack Maitland, Malcolm Brown, Charles Lines, Tony Kingham and Corrinne Tantrum have all made a huge impact.
They guided Alistair and Jonathan from Bradford Swimming Club, through school and on to Olympic and ITU world titles in triathlon.

URGENT HELP I have a table of products with age range on them.
minAge maxAge 0 62 43 57 118 11
i wan to select from products where the age fall within the ages of 3 to 8I am expecting all the products except the last to show up since some of the ages with 3- 8 are found in the table age range
solution1 "select from products where min >= 3 AND maxAge <= 8.
this worked but prod1 andprod2 are filtered out of the result. I deally since 3 is within the min and max age, it should be included in the result.
soln 2"select * from products where (minage between 3 AND 8) AND (maxage <= 8 )
again prod1 is filtered out. I want product 1 since ages 3,4,5,6 are within the search string (3-8)
any ideas
Welcome to the SP forums. If I understood your requirements correctly, this might be the solution
WHERE minAge < 8
AND maxAge > 3
Thanks for your reply. I have tried that before but it does not seem to work correctly. I have a db of products. These products have ages of people they apply to. an item can be worn by some one from ages 0 to 4, 3-8, 5-11, 0- 2, etc. when i search for an item that can be worn by people whose ages fall between 0 to 2, i expect to get the items : 0-4, 0-2 listed above. However, i tried select .. minage >= 0 and maxage <= 2
the 0-4 gets filtered out because the condition says <= 2.
I understand the products have age ranges.What I don't understand is why you use two different ages in your search. A client (or the child they want to buy clothes for) doesn't have an age range. He as an age.
For example 7 years old.Then the search would become
where 7 between minAge and maxAge
By the way
WHERE minAge < 2
AND maxAge > 0
gives you exactly what you asked for. In generic form:
WHERE minAge < $theMaxAgeUserInput
AND maxAge > $theMinAgeUserInput
You are a star. it worked great.tanks for your time

Randy Pitchford, the boss of Gearbox Software, has been interviewed by OXM. Among other things, talks about the differences between his Borderlands and Fallout 3 and what he sees as flaws of Bethesda's game:
- "I understand why we do those games [like Fallout 3] but I don't know - do we want that? I think that game could have been much better if it didn't have a single dialogue tree. Honestly. And if it was more action-orientated, and if the shooting was better."
- Accordingly, Borderlands is a much more action-packed take on the wandering-the-wasteland concept. Pitchford knows that's putting his money where his mouth is: "Maybe we're right. We'll see. We'll find out when we decide what people are gonna buy."
While some dialogue in Fallout 3 could sure use improvement, I certainly wouldn't consider getting rid of dialogue trees much of an improvement.

Centura Health has more experts in more places throughout the region. Start your health journey by finding the right one for you.
The single best way to protect yourself and others against influenza is to get a flu vaccination each year. Two kinds of flu vaccine are available in the United States
The "flu shot" - an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle, usually in the arm. The flu shot is approved for use in people older than 6 months, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease). See also Questions & Answers: Seasonal Flu Shot.
The nasal-spray flu vaccine - a vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses that do not cause the flu (sometimes called LAIV for "live attenuated influenza vaccine"; or FluMist®). LAIV (FluMist®) is approved for use in healthy* people 2-49 years of age who are not pregnant.
Yearly flu vaccination should begin in September or as soon as vaccine is available and continue throughout the influenza season, into December, January, and beyond. This is because the timing and duration of influenza seasons vary. While influenza outbreaks can happen as early as October, most of the time influenza activity peaks in January or later.

The FT reports this morning that payday lenders (or legal loan sharks as they are also known) have been flooding into the country looking to take advantage of hard-up recession-hit borrowers and the UK's lax lending laws. Borrowing at rates of up to 5,000 per cent, customers can find their debts escalating at a startling pace.
Even though many other countries have interest rate caps, the UK has never gone down that route. The government has always said it is wary of implementing such a cap in case it pushes poor people into the hands of illegal loan sharks instead.
Labour MP Stella Creasy has also waged a long campaign to get the government to crack down on these companies, and now her campaign is gaining momentum. Read more

I love coffee.
Unfortunately, coffee is probably not the best sports drink. For that, I am going to have to defer to the mighty Bob Hoffman. He was a real visionary.
Bob Hoffman really believed in the power of water. In fact, he believed in the value of water to such an extent that he bought a spring and started a subsidiary of York Barbell called Blue Rock Mountain Spring Water. The photo above shows one of the original glass bottles and one of the cardboard shipping boxes, from my collection.
When I first seriously got into lifting, one of my coaches, Dave Peterson, was adamant about me getting enough water. It didn't help that the weight room at Michigan State seemed to be boiling hot, year round. Later, when I worked at York Barbell, Smitty also made sure we got plenty of water while training.
I won't get into the technical reasons why water is so necessary, but here are a few basics. Of course, dehydration is bad, but I will assume that you already know that. Here are a few things you probably don't know. The old idea that lifters need tons of protein to make muscle, is only partially true. You also need to be able to process that protein. The metabolic processing of protein requires extra water.
One of the many benefits of additional red meat, as a source of protein, is creatine. Creatine can help make a person stronger, particularly if they are deficient. However, the usefulness of supplemental creatine is dependent on getting enough water. In fact, it is increased cell volume that the creatine allows, which makes one stronger. I have seen it described as a matter of physics, not just biology. Without the added liquid in the diet, that volume cannot increase. Lacking water, the athlete will start getting some pretty severe muscle cramping. Because of this danger, many sports teams do not allow their athletes to take creatine as a supplement.
The Blue Rock Mountain Spring Water company is gone, but long and the short of it is that most people need more water than they are getting and that is especially true of many athletes, who are sweating it out. There are several other issues related to water that I will get into for future BLOGs and Atomic Athletic Bomb Proof Bulletins.
In most of the United States, we can get good clean water right from the faucet. Now, go get your water...
All the best,
Roger LaPointe
"Today is a good day to lift."
PS. My favorite commercially available water is LaCroix Sparkling Water, which was bottled right down the street from where I used to live in the Detroit area. I really like the Lime flavor and the Lemon flavor. They are all natural.

CLERMONT, Fla. - Local 6 Legal Analyst Luis Calderon said the State Attorney's Office may never have enough evidence to arrest the man they say used a shoe camera to take pictures up a woman's dress on Super Bowl Sunday at a Publix in Clermont.
Calderon points to the fact that the state has requested more information before making a charging decision. He said the longer police wait to make an arrest, the more likely it is that evidence, if any, has been destroyed.
Even if police are able to make an arrest, he said the case would be tough to prove.
"Without the images, and only relying on the testimony, I think most defense attorneys would tell you that the state will never meet the burden of beyond a reasonable doubt," said Calderon.
Meanwhile, the victim, who did not want her name used, told Local 6 she's disturbed it's been more than a week and police haven't made an arrest. She said she's shocked police have not arrested him in handcuffs since they have surveillance video that places the unnamed suspect in the Publix right after the alleged crime, and a photo of the man's license plate.
Female shoppers told Local 6 Monday with the alleged voyeur still out there, some are scared to go inside the store.
"It's scary that they know who he is and they haven't charged him with anything yet," said Dawn, a shopper.
Police said they hope to turn over more information to the State Attorney's Office within the next few days, which may help with a charging decision.
Clermont police said they've identified the suspect, but they have not released his name, since they don't have a warrant for his arrest.

CAPTAIN Chris Harris insisted the Great Britain riders will all back new national boss Alun Rossiter as he looks to revive the team's fortunes.
Swindon Robins boss Rossiter was handed the top job on Wednesday after he was given the nod ahead of former Birmingham manager Phil Morris and is now charged with helping the national team improve on recent poor showings in the World Cup.
Harris knows Rossiter well, having been part of the 48-year-old's Elite League-winning Coventry side in 2010, and would love to be handed the chance to carry on as GB skipper under the new regime, as well as firmly believing the Blunsdon boss is someone the country's riders will get behind.
"Whoever got the job out of Rosco and Phil would have done a really good job, but I've worked with Alun before at Coventry and he's helped me in the Grand Prix so I know he will do a good job," Harris told the Advertiser.
"He's a passionate guy and wears his heart on his sleeve and that can only be a good thing for Great Britain because you need to be proud to ride for your country as well as manage it.
"If you're not passionate about your country you shouldn't be there and I love to represent my country and have a lot of pride at being captain.
"I would love to carry on doing that this year and hopefully Rosco agrees and has me in his plans for that. That's all down to him thought and we'll wait and see.
"Whatever decision he makes the riders will get behind him and support him because you can't not like Rosco.
"He loves his speedway and loves his country and I know the other boys feel the same."
Harris returns to the Grand Prix series this year following a year-long absence and is hopeful his return to the sport's elite can help Rossiter in his new role as GB boss.
"It's great to be back in the Grand Prix but I have a lot to prove, not really to anyone else but mainly to myself," he said.
"I'm still hungry and I want to compete with the best riders in the world and if I'm doing that it can only help Team GB too."

PASADENA - Pasadena police chief Phillip Sanchez announced Wednesday the arrest of the man who made the 911 call that brought police to the scene of an alleged armed robbery involving Kendrec McDade.
The reporting party, whose name is Oscar Carrillo, was arrested on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter.
McDade, 19, was shot and killed by two Pasadena police officers in the 700 block of Sunset Avenue on Saturday night.
The police department played the 911 tape, where the caller reports his backpack was stolen by two men in black sweaters and says one had a gun.
Police said the 911 call accounts for the mindset of officers who shot McDade.

I want my site www.samtaleterapi.com to be responsive
I have uploaded my first attempt to www.samtaleterapi.com/debug
What is the current wisdom on:
Any other considerations would be much appreciated as well
I avoid absolute positioning for layout like the plague. It's just not flexible enough. If you ever decide to have a footer, for example, you'll be in a world of pain, as the natural flow of elements is disabled with absolute positioning of elements. I also suspect that it's unpredictable and hard to work with on small screen devices, too.
javascript dependent navigation (on mobile.css)?
It seems less likely that people have JS turned off on mobile devices, but still, at least make sure there's a fallback for when it is disabled or not available. It's just adding another layer of complexity and opportunities for the layout to fail.
If you are looking for a review then you need to post in the review forum after reading the guidelines there.
Regarding the questions you posted then I agree with Ralph and absolute positioning for whole layout is not a good idea. It's fine for small controlled areas within a layout but generally not the main structure.
Your layout looks to be floated anyway or was your question not about your own layout?
Absolute positioning kicks in as the browser narrows.
No need to bring religion into the debate, although I agree with you, all the same.[/ot]
lol - I should employ a proof-reader.:)
You should first look at skeleton css framework and several tutorials to learn more. Also always make sure your website resize to browser size.
The allmedia.css layout is floated, the tablet.css is completely absolute and the mobilejavasafe.css is continuous with selected absolutely postioned elements
I hear what you are saying, but I dont understand why a absolutely positioned layot isnt logical and browser safeIt does what I want (on tablet.css): a fixed width navigation and a content column that adapts to varying viewport sizes
Can you explain what the problems are?
I gave you a clue in post #2:
If you ever decide to have a footer, for example, you'll be in a world of pain, as the natural flow of elements is disabled with absolute positioning of elements. I also suspect that it's unpredictable and hard to work with on small screen devices, too.
Suppose I dont need a footerHow could it be unpredictable and hard to work with? I use absolute positioning for a medium size viewport, so there is enough room (as I use a different layout for smaller viewports)Are you talking about absolute positioning in generel or the way I propose to use it?
Thank you very muchRasmus
In general—because it's rarely a good way to lay out a page. It's inflexible and has unpredictable results on various devices.
OK thanksUnpredictable results are certainly undesirable
Will search for different solution to my wishCheersRasmus
The standard layout means currently is to float page items side by side on larger screens and remove the float on narrow screens and set elements to width: 100% (or thereabouts) on smaller screens. This is done nicely with media queries.
I dont understand why a absolutely positioned layout isnt logical and browser safe
One of the most important aspects of web design (regardless of device) is to maintain the flow of the document.
In simple terms that means that one element can follow the next and you don't have to do anything special to make that happen. If you want another paragraph you just add the text and there it is under the paragraph above. If you then want to remove the first paragraph you just delete it and the content underneath just rises up into position all on its own. If you narrow the browser window all paragraphs flow together and push down the page without overlapping.
Now imagine you are absolutely placing those paragraphs. If you want to place a second paragraph you have to absolutely place it below the other one at an exact height or it will overlap. However if the content changes, the text is resized, or the window narrowed then the content overlaps because all elements are removed from the flow and do not care about anything else.
If you remove one of the absolute paragraphs you leave a hole in the page and the other content does not fill the space. If you want to add more paragraphs you have to position them at the bottom but you don't actually know where the bottom is.
As you can see its a nightmare to manage at every stage unless you have the simplest layout. A 2 column absolute layout is not that bad and can be maintained but you can never have a footer or put content at below both columns. In this case it would just make sense to float them (or use display:table-cell for ie8+ if needed) and avoid the issue altogether.
Floats, although removed from the flow , can be cleared and thus thus flow of the page is maintained. You should always take the route of least resistance and when you code with the flow of the page then in most cases you don;t need to do anything special as content takes care of itself. Just a few margins and tweaks and everything falls into position.
That doesn't mean avoid absolute positioning as you can use it in controlled situations to good effect. e.g. within a fixed height container such as a header banner you could absolutely place a logo in the top corner easier than floating especially if you want it on top of something else.
There are always special cases but in the main you want to keep everything in the flow of the document (one element follows another naturally).
so would the following be safe and maintainable (simplified version) - or does it depend too much on absolute positioning?
tablet.css* margin: 0; padding: 0;body font-size: 13px;
mobile.css* margin: 0; padding: 0;body font-size: 13px;
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /><link rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (min-width: 527px) and (max-width: 769px)" href="sheets/tablet.css" type="text/css" /><link rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (max-width: 526px)" href="sheets/mobile.css" type="text/css" />

ps there is one thing that doesnt work proporly: when i open the site on a mobile portrait and tilts it to landscape the text size increases until i refresh the page - can that be fixed?
It's hard to tell without all the content but as you are switching the menu from bottom to top then you will need to absolute place it when you want it at the top but of course you will need to preserve the space for it. I assume the menu is a fixed height so you should be ok.
The columns should be ok as long as you don't need a footer.
Regarding the text-size in landscape you could try this which is present in bootstrap and boilerplate.
body{ -webkit-text-size-adjust:100%; -ms-text-size-adjust:100%}
/* Prevent Webkit and Windows Mobile platforms from changing default font sizes, while not breaking desktop design. */
Well the webkit/ms fix works great
The content is all there on www.samtaleterapi.com/debug
I forgot to mention that the #menu div is not displayed on tablet.cssI dont understand what you say about switching the menu from the bottom to the topOn tablet.css the #navigation div is always visible (the javascript isnt active, and the #menu div is hidden), and on mobile.css the #menu div is just the button that shows and hides the #navigation divOn mobile.css the #navigation div isnt absolute or relative/floated but - what is it called? - continuous(?)
Im very grateful that you (plural) are taking an interestWould you judge the layout to be workable?Or is it just not good idea?Rasmus
oh now i get ityes that is what i do with both layoutsi use padding on the left to clear a space and then absolute place something in that areaon tablet.css its the whole #navigation div that is placed absolutely (below #header on the left of #content)on mobile.css its the #menu div {width: 35px; height: 100%;} (on the left of #header, #navigation and #content)
sorry to not be able to clarify that from the beginningthanksrasmus
I think now that you understand the implications and limitations you will be fine and the layout should suffice.
The beauty and problem with CSS is that there is always more than one way to do something and the method you use usually depends on what happens next

text: Hurricane holds off Winfield 5-2 By Doug Smock March 20, 2013 Story Share Chris Dorst Players in the Winfield dugout try to distract Hurricane pitcher Austin Hensley, to no avail. WINFIELD, W.Va. -When his heavy-hitting Hurricane teammates reached the fence - or as close as you could get on this blustery day - Austin Hensley was on his way to outpitching Winfield ace Mason Dillon.Hensley went the distance Wednesday, giving up six hits and two runs (one earned) in the Redskins' 5-2 win over the Generals. He escaped tough situations in the second and fourth innings.He didn't have much problem in the fifth, sixth and seventh, though, allowing no Winfield runners past first base."He's a bulldog. He wanted [to pitch all seven]," said Hurricane coach Brian Sutphin. "The best he threw all game was in the seventh."As Hensley got stronger, so did the Hurricane bats, equaling Winfield's six hits in the fifth and seventh alone in breaking a 2-2 tie. All the damage came with two outs, with four big hits supplied by Ace Estep and Riley Metz.The fifth was looking like any other Dillon-pitched inning, especially when the Generals turned their third double play. But Estep launched a long triple to right-center and Metz singled him in to give Hurricane a 3-2 lead.In the seventh, Dillon was one out away from keeping Winfield's deficit at a run when the batting order got back around to the No. 2 spot, where Estep was hitting. He belted a long double to center, which Metz duplicated for another critical RBI. Tate Brock followed with a double to set the final score. Dillon had gotten Estep to hit into a double play in the first inning and limited Metz to a strikeout and a grounder in his first two at-bats."I came up to the plate and said, 'He got my number twice, and I'm not going to let him do it a third and fourth time,' " Metz said. "Baseball's a game of repetition, but I just got him on the curveball."Sutphin pointed out that Metz had a tough day fielding at third base, but didn't let it affect him at the plate."He's a mentally tough kid. He had some really big at-bats," Sutphin said. "He's worked really hard in the offseason, this is the best shape he's ever been in and we're happy he's part of our team, that's for sure." The only question about those extra-base hits is how many would have cleared the fence without that biting wind, blowing at 20 mph with gusts to 30 or more. It came in from left field most often.So while home runs were out of the question, batters had the advantage of baffled outfielders. Perhaps Estep's triple was the best illustration, as the wind kept steering the fly ball to the right-center field gap."It started out in center, and our center fielder [Fields] is over in right-center," said Winfield coach Will Isaacs. "That's not to take anything away from his hit, and that's not to say our center fielder would have caught it anyway. But both teams had to play in those conditions, and we're by the river. We practice in them, so those aren't excuses."Winfield (2-2) scored in the opening frame on Jordan Clark's double and Josh Bumgarner's RBI single. Hurricane (3-1) tied it in the second on an Alex Dunham sacrifice fly and took the lead when Connor Adams singled, stole second, advance to third on a wild pitch and scored on a double play. The Generals tied it in the fourth when Tanner Bailey reached on an infield error, moved to second on a Derek Whiteside single, went to third on a walk and scored on a Brandon Wright fielder's choice.But there could have been more. In the second, Hensley faced runners on second and third with none out, struck two out and coaxed a force-out with the bases loaded. In the fourth, he escaped a bases-loaded jam with just one run allowed.Isaacs wasn't down on his team's performance. After all, it's still March and the opponent is better than average."The only disappointment is that we lost on the scoreboard," Isaacs said. "We played hard, we played well, we battled at the plate. They're a good team, and Mason's going to face a lot of good teams. And he didn't pitch poorly."Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130 or email@example.com or at twitter.com/dougsmock.

Collections Management: The Internship
This week, MOPA's Curatorial Department is pleased to present a guest blog from our summer intern, Diana Chavez. Read on to learn more about her adventures in Collections Management.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Salutations MOPA friends! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Diana Chavez and I am a graduate student in the Museum Studies program at Syracuse University. For the summer I returned home to San Diego to defrost from the bitter winters of Central New York and as well as to intern in the Curatorial Department at MOPA. My main focus of study is collections management and the brilliant and welcoming Collections Manager, Megan Clancy (pictured top left), took me under her wing. The overall experience was enlightening, rewarding and just plain ol' fun.
Each day at MOPA was different and exciting. My projects proved to be fantastic lessons that broadened my knowledge of collections management and, most importantly, the management of photographic arts. My undergraduate degree is in Anthropology and I have over three years of experience working with anthropological and archaeological objects. I didn't know what to expect when it came to working with two dimensional works. I quickly learned that a collection of photographic artworks can be dynamic and challenging.
During my two months as an intern I worked on a variety of assignments. Some of these included the post-exhibition procedures of the Jessica Lange works. I assisted in de-framing the pieces, final condition reports, and packing the photography for return shipment. I also assisted with inventory projects, matting, gathering collections data and photographing images for internal and public use.
My biggest project dealt with the recent acquisition of the Lynn G. Fayman Archive. Thanks to Megan and Jerry, another volunteer, the slides were well organized but there was still a lot of work to do. Namely, scanning and assigning acquisition numbers to the 1,000 plus slides. While at a glance some might find the work to be tedious and repetitive, Fayman's unique process kept the experience interesting. I am no expert in photography but I was able to gain an appreciation for each unique slide and the artistic nuances it contained.
But alas, all good things must come to an end. My internship is coming to a close and soon after I will head back to Siberacuse. I am eternally grateful to the generous staff I encountered. The entire Collections team including Megan, Chantel Paul and Scott Davis were extraordinarily supportive and served as invaluable mentors. The same goes for all the others who made me feel at home here at MOPA. I will definitely miss my time here and the wonderful people who made it a positive experience.
