3. The Current Moral Disorder and Its Consequences
MacIntyre begins After Virtue by asking the reader to engage in a thought experiment: "Imagine that the natural sciences were to suffer the effects of a catastrophe…. A series of environmental disasters [which] are blamed by the general public on the scientists" leads to rioting, scientists being lynched by angry mobs, the destruction of laboratories and equipment, the burning of books, and ultimately the decision by the government to end science instruction in schools and universities and to imprison and execute the remaining scientists. Eventually, enlightened people decide to restore science, but what do they have to work with? Only fragments: bits and pieces of theories, chapters of books, torn and charred pages of articles, hazy memories and damaged equipment with functions that are unclear, if not entirely forgotten. These people, he argues, would combine these fragments as best they could, inventing theories to connect them as necessary. People would talk and act as though they were doing "science," but they would actually be doing something very different from what we currently call science. From our point of view, in a world where the sciences are intact, their "science" would be full of errors and inconsistencies, "truths" which no one could actually prove, and competing theories which were incompatible with one another. Further, the supporters of these theories would be unable to agree on any way to resolve their differences.
Why does MacIntyre ask us to imagine such a world? "The hypothesis I wish to advance is that in the actual world which we inhabit the language of morality is in the same state of grave disorder as the language of natural science in the imaginary world which I described" (After Virtue 2, After Virtue 256). People in the modern liberal capitalist world talk as though we are engaged in moral reasoning, and act as though our actions are chosen as the result of such reasoning, but in fact neither of these things is true. Just as with the people working with "science" in the imaginary world that MacIntyre describes, philosophers and ordinary people are working today with bits and pieces of philosophies which are detached from their original pre-Enlightenment settings in which they were comprehensible and useful. Current moral and political philosophies are fragmented, incoherent, and conflicting, with no standards that can be appealed to in order to evaluate their truth or adjudicate the conflicts between them – or at least no standards that all those involved in the disputes will be willing to accept, since any standard will presuppose the truth of one of the contending positions. To use an analogy that MacIntyre does not use, one might say that it is as if we tore handfuls of pages from books by Jane Austen, Shakespeare, Danielle Steele, Mark Twain, and J.K. Rowling, threw half of them away, shuffled the rest, stapled them together, and then tried to read the "story" that resulted. It would be incoherent, and any attempt to describe the characters, plot, or meaning would be doomed to failure. On the other hand, because certain characters, settings, and bits of narrative would reappear throughout, it would seem as though the story could cohere, and much effort – ultimately futile – might be expended in trying to make it do so. This, according to MacIntyre, is the moral world in which we currently live.
One consequence of this situation is that we have endless and interminable debates within philosophy and, where philosophy influences politics, within politics as well (After Virtue 6-8, Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry 7 and Chapter 1). MacIntyre demonstrates this with regard to philosophers by a comparison of the positions of John Rawls and Robert Nozick on what justice is, positions which are mutually exclusive, but internally coherent. Each conclusion follows reasonably from its premises (After Virtue Chapter 17). Each position has many adherents who can point out the flaws in the other but cannot successfully defend their own position against attack. In the political world, one of the examples MacIntyre uses is the abortion issue in the United States. One side of the debate, drawing largely on a particular interpretation of Christian ethics, asserts that abortion is murder and hence is both morally unacceptable and deserving of legal punishment; the other side, usually drawing either on a conception of privacy or of rights or both, asserts that women should have the right to make a private decision about terminating a pregnancy, and therefore abortion, while possibly morally problematic, deserves the protection of the law. In either case, the conclusion follows logically, that is, reasonably, from the premises. But the starting premises are incompatible, and there is no way to gain everyone's agreement to either set of premises, nor is there even any agreement on what kind of argument might be able to gain a consensus. (And a look at public opinion polls about abortion taken in the United States shows that the percentage of people for or against legal abortion in particular circumstances has basically remained unchanged since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973).
It is also the case, according to MacIntyre, that those involved in these philosophical and political debates claim to be using premises that are objective, based on reason, and universally applicable. Many of them even believe these claims, misunderstanding the nature of their particular inadequate modern philosophy, just as the people in MacIntyre's post-disaster world misunderstand what it means to be doing real science. But what they are really doing, whether they recognize it or not, is using the language of morality to try to gain their own preferences. They are not trying to persuade others by reasoned argument, because a reasoned argument about morality would require a shared agreement on the good for human beings in the same way that reasoned arguments in the sciences rely on shared agreement about what counts as a scientific definition and a scientific practice. This agreement about the good for human beings does not exist in the modern world (in fact, the modern world is in many ways defined by its absence) and so any attempt at reasoned argument about morality or moral issues is doomed to fail. Other parties to the argument are fully aware that they are simply trying to gain the outcome they prefer using whatever methods happen to be the most effective. (Below there will be more discussion of these people; they are the ones who tend to be most successful as the modern world measures success.) Because we cannot agree on the premises of morality or what morality should aim at, we cannot agree about what counts as a reasoned argument, and since reasoned argument is impossible, all that remains for any individual is to attempt to manipulate other people's emotions and attitudes to get them to comply with one's own wishes.
MacIntyre claims that protest and indignation are hallmarks of public "debate" in the modern world. Since no one can ever win an argument – because there's no agreement about how someone could "win" – anyone can resort to protesting; since no one can ever lose an argument – how can they, if no one can win? – anyone can become indignant if they don't get their way. If no one can persuade anyone else to do what they want, then only coercion, whether open or hidden (for example, in the form of deception) remains. This is why, MacIntyre says, political arguments are not just interminable but extremely loud and angry, and why modern politics is simply a form of civil war."

Job boards are great if you're just starting out as a freelance writer. They're accessible, (mostly) free and can lead to high-paying writing gigs.
There's just one problem: How do you know which ones to use?
If you do a Google search for freelance writing jobs, your eyes will eventually glaze over just looking at the search results. Too many links and no idea which ones to click first.
When I first searched for writing jobs online, it took me hours to figure out which ones can bring me quality clients. I certainly crossed off Craigslist and Upwork from the list, but even then I still struggled to weed out job boards that just plain sucked.
Don't let the same thing happen to you. I've listed five job boards that I personally use and highly recommend.
Problogger Job Board – employers actually pay to post an ad on this job board, so that's a good sign that they're willing to pay good money for the right person. I found a few well-paying clients through this job board.
Freelancewritinggigs.com – this board is a collection of job postings around the web. It's updated daily (except for weekends and holidays). Expect to see the occasional low-ball gigs, but look out for hidden gems.
Writejobs.info – Similar to Freelancewritinggigs, Writejobs collects the best job offers around the web and even categorizes the ones with clear pay rates. It also has a separate section for Non-Craigslist ads, which is really helpful.
Listiller.com/gigs – I discovered this recently. This site, by far, has the most number of job listings on a daily basis. You'll get a clear idea of where the job ad comes from (what website) and whether it's open for international writers or limited to residents of specific countries.
Contena – Unlike the job boards in this list, Contena's job board requires a paid membership. In addition to offering jobs with above-average rates, Contena provides online courses to grow your freelance writing income. Check out my review here and see if it's something you want to try. It's expensive and it's not for everyone, but if you want to save time and find the best jobs in the market, it's worth every cent.
As you navigate job boards, you'll learn to identify jobs that fit your expertise as a writer. You also get a sense of what topics or niche are in demand and maybe aim to enter those niches in the future.
Lastly, don't depend on job boards as your sole marketing strategy. It's not the only thing you should be doing every day. Build your writer website. Send cold emails to big publications. Attend networking events. Guest post on popular blogs. And the list goes on.
Look out for these red flags
Asks for a 'trial' piece
This is code for "we want you to write for free." Don't do it, no matter how desperate or great you think the job is. If a job ad asks you to do something without any guarantees of getting paid or getting hired, then they're not the kind of people you want to be working for.
You can't find their company website
Even the most obscure and unusual niches have websites to promote their business. Otherwise, why would they need a writer? If you do a Google search for the company or person posting the ad and find nothing, it's not a good sign. Do yourself a favor and move on to the next ad.
There is no mention of payment
It's ironic that some people think posting "jobs" online include those that are unpaid. These ads usually pay you in "exposure" in return for your hard work.
These jobs are worse than content mills and should be avoided at all times. As for exposure, there are a ton of ways to promote yourself without having to work for free.
Wants you to pitch publications in behalf of them
Ever since guest blogging became the best networking and advertising tool, some companies have been reaching out to writers to do the work for them.
These clients want you to pitch big blogs like Forbes and they'll pay you when your article gets published. In return, you need to put a link to your client's product/service/scammy deals with the article. Not only is this unethical, it is also illegal.
Don't put your reputation on the line no matter how tempting the payment offer is.
Job boards are great when you know what to look for and what to avoid. Remember to look for jobs that you are qualified for and apply only when you think you're the right person for the job.

Three years from now, if construction work goes as planned, Burbank will boast a new bike path that will provide a connection to the downtown Metrolink station from the existing Lake-Alameda path. This is good news for cyclists and pedestrians alike. It will also provide a host of benefits to the city, its businesses and the many residents who will gain from this project.
Naturally, there is a price tag involved — in this case an estimated $4.4 million. We understand the pause that might have given Vice Mayor David Gordon, who called the project's cost "staggering," especially in light of the fact that a path about twice its length, the Chandler Bikeway, was finished for $2.7 million. We appreciate Gordon's awareness that the City Council must be cautious and disciplined when considering how Burbank's dollars are spent. Sometimes you just have to put the brakes on spending.
But not in this case. Much of the new bike path, which will require more complex construction than did the Chandler Bikeway, will be grant funded, with $2.7 million coming from the state. We must take advantage of such opportunities to keep moving forward.

Missing a period and having tender breasts are, along with morning sickness, the classic signs of pregnancy. Yet, it is possible for women who are suffer from these symptoms while not being pregnant, and there is a variety of potential causes that could be behind missed periods and tender breasts.
Missed Periods and Tender Breast: Common Causes
Several factors can cause missed periods and breast tenderness at any time, but the most likely cause is hormonal imbalance. A woman's menstrual cycle is linked to hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone. When hormone levels drop, periods often become less frequent or missed altogether.
Breast tenderness is often called mastalgia. There are two types of mastalgia: cyclical and non-cyclical. Cyclical mastalgia, the more common type, can affect women at any age and is linked to hormonal imbalance. Breast tenderness can range from mild to severe, and in some cases, it may be associated with some disorders.
Other Causes
Less commonly, the causes of missed periods may include:
Eating disorders. Since they can cause excessive weight loss or gain, eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia may affect the menstrual cycle.
Excessive exercise. Intense exercise can often disrupt a woman's monthly cycle and lead to missed periods.
Stress. High stress levels can interfere with progesterone production and have an impact on the menstrual cycle.
There are some triggers and health conditions that can cause tender breasts, including:
Hormonal contraception. Implants, patches, and injections in particular are often linked to breast tenderness.
Fibrocystic breasts. Changes in breast tissue that often occur during a woman's reproductive years are commonly associated with breast tenderness.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This condition can be responsible for missed periods and breast tenderness as well.
Managing Missed Periods and Breast Tenderness
Missed periods and tender breasts are most often caused by hormonal imbalance. Following some simple lifestyle tips can help with these symptoms and balance hormone levels.
Phytoestrogenic foods. Dietary estrogen can help with hormonal imbalance and prevent these symptoms. The main food sources of phytoestrogen are soybean and flaxseed, but lentils and chickpeas contain them as well.
Monitor your nutrient intake. Ensure you are getting the recommended daily amounts of calcium, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids, as these are important for helping with hormone regulation. Sardines, leafy greens, and low-fat dairy can all be helpful for this.
Reduce stress. Excessive stress can easily disrupt progesterone production, leading to both missed periods and breast tenderness. Relaxation techniques like yoga, tai chi, or meditation are very useful.
Warm compresses. Using warm (never hot) pads or compresses on top of each breast at night can help relieve tenderness. This method can be used against pelvic pain as well, which often comes alongside missed periods.
Alternative Treatments
There is a variety of potential causes that could be behind missed periods and tender breasts, though an imbalance in hormone levels is the most common reason for both of these symptoms while not pregnant. However, the tips above might not be enough for addressing this root cause. Click on the following links to learn more about breast tenderness and irregular period treatments that balance hormone levels.

One of the comments from last week's Bach debate was basically that his music is too difficult. Not everyone can hear what's going on in his complicated fugues. The hymn tune can get lost in ornamentation, and it's generally a new sound for most people.
I'd like to draw an analogy to visual art in our churches. There are church traditions that have vehemently rejected all forms of idols, icons, and representation, largely the American Puritans and their spiritual descendents, along with the Mormon church. The difference between a Methodist or UCC church is visually obvious, when compared to the more "symbolically oriented" churches, the Orthodox, Catholic, and (to some extent) Lutheran churches.
I've had debates with people who say that all artistic representations, even the stained glass windows at Bethany, are inappropriate idolatry. Now, I won't dispute the fact that some of the churches I have mentioned do venerate relics and idols to a questionable degree, but I'd like to offer a different point of view. The great cathedrals of Europe were built at a time when the masses were illiterate, and the art and architecture of a church were meant to help explain the Biblical stories symbolically. The scenes depicted in our windows are similarly there as reminders to guide our prayer. We may not notice them every week. We may not ever examine them closely, but if at any time you choose to take a closer look, you will find that they point you toward the Bible.
Similarly, the great classical music (and in particular much of the music of Bach) is another way to point toward the stories, the text, the Bible. It's a very Lutheran concept to use music and the visual arts to point toward Scripture. We may not always hear every detail or "understand" every aspect of the music, but it is worthy music that holds up to scrutiny at many levels. It's pleasant to hear, and it enlightens and enlivens prayer and meditation.
Do you have a favorite example of music or art aiding your spiritual journey? For members of Bethany, when did you last notice the windows - any favorites? I hope this blog is helping people connect more directly with the music you hear each week so that you're always able to continue growing both musically and spiritually.

Musicians and visual artists, by their nature, are always providing their personal perspectives on the topic they choose to address. I think we all gain when we can consider another person's perspective on something, whether that happens through music, picture, dialogue, or in written form. Each of us has favorite ways to engage in the process of getting another person's perspective. The hard part is deciding which perspectives are truly accurate.ReplyDelete

The single biggest resistance I get when talking to clients about engaging in social media is the amount of time social media requires. Most companies that are not using social media find it overwhelming and difficult to understand. And, they lack the time or resources required to make social media successful for them.
I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise.
My company has recently ramped up our own social media efforts and I have to tell you I find it overwhelming and difficult to understand. I lack the time and resources required to really make it successful for us. But as with anything new, you just gotta push through. Pulling the plug would be conceding defeat in an area where a victory is needed.
Never give up. Never surrender.
Let's take a look at these common complaints of social media and what can be done to make social media successful.
Social media is overwhelming
There are dozens, if not hundreds of places to engage socially online.
Linked In.
And that doesn't include the social tracking services, third party tools, posting tools, organization lists and who knows what else I'm missing. Each social service requires it's own level of commitment and interaction that must be actively maintained.
Social media is difficult to understand
How, when and where you need to post, engage or communicate isn't always straightforward. It's important to provide value in each stream without creating a "me too" stream in another. Each social platform will reach a different audience with different levels of engagement and that must be taken into consideration.
A separate strategy for each social platform is required. In order to do it right, you have to learn the nuances of each.
How often you post, what you say, how you say it and who you connect with are all important in building up your social media presence. Connecting in one stream works differently than connecting in another. Same with engagement. They all have their quirks and you've go to learn each in order to manage them appropriately.
Lack of time and resources needed to make social media successful
This is the big one. There is more to social media than writing the occasional blog post and throwing a link to it out on Twitter or Facebook. You have to be actively engaged with your community. Engaged on Twitter, engaged on Facebook, engaged on Linked In, engaged in your blog comments and engaged in other people's blogs.
Phew! That's a lot of engagement!
And the most difficult part is very little of this can be done by an outside service. Consultants like us can help you develop a strategy, but it's always best if an actual person from the company handles the engagement. After all, you know your product or services better than anybody else can, and you are uniquely qualified to handle complaints and customer satisfaction.
Whats the best way to manage your social media campaign?
That will be different for each company. Not everyone can afford to hire a full-time social media person. But even among those who can and do, it's essential to have someone help organize and build strategy.
If your in-house person has been managing social campaigns for any length of time and is fully dedicated to social media, then you might have just what you need. But for many businesses, hiring a consultant to either manage, implement or just strategize with can be extremely lucrative.
Even if you have someone to carry out the plan in-house, it's helpful to have a consultant who can work with you to develop a solid strategy for each social stream and then work with your team to implement it.
Don't let social media suck the life out of your business
For many, social media is fun. And it should be. But it's easy to get overwhelmed, throw up your hands and walk away. But this isn't an area where you can concede defeat. While social media can be a pain, and these complaints have legitimacy, you can overcome them. Time, patience and practice make all the difference in the world.
More and more people are getting social. That's where they get their information, news, pass tips, strategies and recommendations. If you're not engaged with them, someone else is. Your competitors are building brand, answering questions and becoming an authority. What are you doing?
You may be top in your field, but these things change. It's all a matter of perception. MySpace used to be the top social site, now Facebook is. AltaVisa was once the top search engine, now Google is. K-Mart used to be the top retail store, and you get the picture.
Things shift. If you don't get ahead of it you'll be shifted out while someone else is shifted in. Any new strategy can be a challenge, but you can learn to use social media to enhance your business (as opposed to sucking the life out of it).

U.S. crude oil supplies fell 2.4 million barrels (0.6%) for the week ending July 4, according to an Energy Information Administration report (link opens a PDF) released Wednesday.
After declining 3.2 million barrels the week before, inventories are now at levels not seen since late March. This latest contraction comes primarily from an increase in refinery inputs, up 34,000 barrels per day from the previous week's average. Overall inventories have grown 2.3% in the past 12 months.
Gasoline inventories increased 0.6 million barrels (0.3%) after shrinking 1.2 million barrels the week before. Demand for motor gasoline during the last four-week period is down a seasonally adjusted 0.4%. In the last year, supplies have expanded a slight 0.3%.
During the past week, retail gasoline pump prices fell to $0.026 to $3.68 per gallon.
Distillates supplies, which include diesel and heating oil, edged up 0.2 million barrels (0.2%) for the sixth-straight week of expansions. Distillates demand for the last four weeks is down a seasonally adjusted 6.2%. In the past year, distillates inventories have inched up 0.2%.

A Tool for Developing and Evaluating Critical Thinking
The Holistic Critical Thinking Scoring Rubric (HCTSR) is an internationally known rating tool used to assess the quality of thinking displayed in verbal presentations or written reports. The HCTSR can be used in any training program or assessment process. Its greatest value is obtained when used by trainees to assess the quality of their own or another's reasoning. The exercise of applying this holistic evaluation leads trainees to internalize descriptions of strong (and weak) thinking.

Kuchera Defense Systems Inc., Windber, made a serious commitment to hiring people with disabilities about six years ago, according to Patty Katarski, executive director, Pennsylvania Association for Individuals with Disabilities.
Now 42 percent of employees who work in the Defense Systems division and 12 percent of employees who work for the commercial side, Kuchera Industries, have disabilities.
"Phil Kuchera is on our board," she said. "We call him our poster boy for employing people with disabilities. He said they believed it was the right thing to do and they themselves are the ones who have really benefited."
While the unemployment rate in the Cambria-Somerset counties market is regularly about 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 percent, the unemployment rate of people with disabilities is 18.6 percent, she said. Her group brings together individuals with disabilities and employers.

No matter what age you are; the efforts of quitting bad habits such as smoking is worth it. Most of us assume that it is impossible to change old habits especially at the later stage of our lives. And for older people who smoke, the idea of quitting may seem more pointless since most people who have not felt the serious health effects of smoking feel "invincible".
Nevertheless, these beliefs are all false since smoking has been proven to be harmful for every age and most especially for older people if they continue to smoke. The disease consequence of smoking occurs disproportionately among the elderly because of the duration and cumulatively-dependent factors.
Smoking can greatly impact the aging process through these areas:
- Yellow teeth
- Gum disease
- Falling out of teeth
- Wrinkles
- Damaged vocal chords
- "Smoker's cough"
- Inflamed eyes
- Overall tired, older appearance
Golden Arch Home Healthcare LLC, where patients seek for homecare services in Redlands California, believes that as the elderly population increases worldwide; the social, economic, and health costs of smoking will also continue to rise. And only those older adults who experience more psychological distress and fewer health concerns are more likely to try to stop smoking, which we do not want to happen to your elderly loved ones.
Studies and scientists have concluded that older people—event those who have smoked for over 30 years—can reap the benefits of quitting the habit of smoking. When you quit smoking within:
- 20 minutes – Your pulse rate, blood pressure, and temperature returns to normal mode
- 8 hours – The nicotine level in your blood decrease to 6.25% of normal peak daily levels
- 12 hours – Your body's carbon monoxide and blood oxygen levels have reached it normal levels
- 24 hours – Your anxiety levels have already reached in intensity
- 48 hours – Your damaged nerve endings start to regrow; your senses (smell and taste) are beginning to return to normal; cessation anger and irritability have peaked
- 72 hours – Your body will test 100% nicotine-free.
Stopping smoking lets your breathe more easily because it improves your lung capacity by up to 10% within 9 months. As the lung capacity diminishes with age, your earlier years may not show the effects but in the later years, you might find yourself wheezing when you go for a walk or climb the stairs.
It also gives you more energy. Within 2-12 weeks of stopping from smoking, your blood circulation improves making all physical activity, like running and walking, much easier. Increased physical ability will give a boost to your immune system making it easier to fight off viruses and diseases.
It improves fertility. If you would notice the pattern, non-smokers usually find it easier to get pregnant. The cessation improves the lining of the womb making men's sperm more potent. This also improves the chances of giving birth to a healthy baby.

And with the new year just with us you might think that this was the wrong time of year to get great results from Public Relations. If so then welcome to hidden secret number 1.
The Media need you more than you need them.
Let me explain.
If England are doing well in the World Cup or something extraordinary is happening in the World like 9/11, the July 7 London Bombings etc then the chances are the media wont be interested in your press release regardless of how well it is written or what it says.
The good news for businesses like yours is that the media often find themselves (particularly during certain times of the year) with not enough newsworthy material in which to fill their air time, newspaper, magazine or website.
By remembering this and whenever possible tailoring your press activity to the quieter times you have a much higher chance of your PR activity being successful.
The 2nd secret is along the same lines as number 1 in that it focuses on when you should actually send your press release. Hidden secret number 2 is therefore. Timing is the key to success
Journalists can often receive hundreds of press releases a week so your goal when it comes to sending one is to make sure it arrives on their desk or in their inbox at the best possible time. To do this you should really attempt to do a little research on your target media and find out When do they go to press?
The media have space to fill and if it isn't then it is gone forever. In the world of media something is always better than nothing. Therefore by sending your releases just prior to deadline dates then you often have a much better chance of your release being used.
On this note you can also get some amazing advertising rates by finding out when they go to press and calling just before that time to see if you can help the publication by filling a space. Notice that you are actually helping them rather than them helping you. We have all had sales people on the phone trying to sell advertising space at amazing rates and how they are going to help you achieve fantastic results. Do not believe a word of it. You are helping them. Remember that they would rather get 100 pounds or dollars for an advert that they would normally charge 750 pounds or dollars for than have a blank space or advertise their own publication.
Also when it comes to timing you might like to know that press releases received by journalists on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings between 10 and 11am get the best results. Therefore try sending out releases by post on Mondays and by email so they arrive in journalists in boxes at these times.
If you remember these secrets when writing and submitting your press release your chances of success will increase and so could your profits.

I have admit that I am complete noob on all of this. I am trying to learn HTML5, Javascript, CSS, JQuery, etc.
Does the JQuery library reside in the browser such that it executes the underlying JS from the library? Or is the JQ library code included in my server-side code when I publish? It sure makes more sense to me that it be only on the browser side to reduce the bandwidth.
Sorry for the (probably ) stupid question but I just cannot seem to find an answer with all my searches.
JQuery is client-side. That means that it's loaded with your HTML and other assets your page requires. It runs in the browser and not on the server.
Bandwidth is another question entirely. Depending on which JQuery library you are calling it could be anywhere from 80 to 100+ kb of bandwidth. One of the advantages (in my mind) of calling a library from a central repository such as Google rather than hosting it on your site is that a user has probably been to another site using the same library. Therefore there's next to no bandwidth used since it gets loaded from their browser cache. The bandwidth used is whatever plugin script you have that uses the library.
It's still another HTTP request no matter what. If the library is in cache it will load from there but the server still has to handle the request and send a response (304). If not in cache the file/library gets sent.
Hope I didn't confuse you
Thank you for the response Kevin! So wait...you mean the browser(client), when it parses a JQ request, may have to go out and ask an external server(JQuery.com0 to figure out the JQ? I was thinking the browser machine might have a local copy of the JQ library and just access it from the hard drive? No, you make complete sense. Just trying to understand what is going on. This is stuff I do not see when JQuery is explained. Thanks!
That being stated, having the JQuery file in the browser cache is almost like having it "built in" to the browser in that it doesn't have to be downloaded again. That's the reason for calling a library from a central repository like Google or JQuery.com. In all likelihood, your user has been to another site using the same library from either Google or JQuery and the file already is "built in" to their browser and doesn't have to be downloaded again. However if you host that library on your site the browser thinks it's a different library, even if it has the same filename, and downloads it again.
A real world example: I have a photo gallery script on a couple of sites that uses HTML5, CSS3, and JQuery to present thumbnails and full-size photos in a really slick display. I call the JQuery library like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js"></script>
But if I was hosting it on my site the code would look something like:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/jquery.min.js"></script>
To a browser those are 2 different files, even if the contained code is exactly the same. The link to googleapis would probably return a 304 to a browser and the file would load from cache. The "local" link would download the library from your site the first time a user hits a page needing it.
More confusion, I suppose. Sorry for being so wordy...
Interesting. And it makes complete sense, Kevin. Thank you for taking part of your Christmas Day to 'edumacate' me!
I don't know how much of an "edumacation" was provided, but for what little there was you're welcome!
Merry Christmas -- what's left of it!

Sunday morning glory
Don't you just love sundays? I love sundays even more when we haven't planned a thing. I like to wake-up slowly with a cup of coffee just sitting at the kitchen table in my pajama's. Logan has his morning milk and plays with his trains. Sjoerd, who's my coffee buddy, checks out Twitter and anything game related. Everyone goes their own pace and does what he or she prefers.
After we have breakfast I usually go upstairs to have a bath and get dressed. I pick out my outfit, put on my make-up and do my hair. And then, it's time for another outfit pic!
I'm very happy with my new secondhand finds! The skinnies were E 10,- and the cardigan was
E 8,50. Both in excellent shape and a great addition to my wardrobe.
Thank for checking out my post!

Bride of Frankenstein To save his wife, Baron... MORE > $11.95 Regularly $14.98 Buy Now blu-ray
powered by AFI
The working title of this film was The Return of Frankenstein. Although Elsa Lanchester was credited onscreen for the role of "Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley," only a question mark appeared opposite the character name of "The Monster's Mate." Universal records indicate that writer Tom Reed authored an early treatment and three screenplay revisions for the film. Variety notes that the preview was 90 minutes, 15 minutes longer than the final release; it is unclear which scenes were cut. Modern sources indicate that a prologue and various other scenes including a coroner's investigation, a speech by Pretorius, and several murders perpetrated by the Monster were among the scenes deleted, and note that Henry Frankenstein can actually be seen in the burning laboratory sequence due to the fact that the story, as originally filmed, had Henry returning to save Elizabeth, who would perish in the fire. Expenses were too high to justify reshooting the scene.
Modern sources also add the following information: The film was made for just under $400,000. Claude Rains was originally slated for the role of Pretorius, but was reassigned by Universal to star in their 1935 release Mystery of Edwin Drood . Brigitte Helm, the star of the 1926 classic German film Metropolis and Phyllis Brooks, a New York model, were both seriously considered for the role of the Monster's mate. Because director James Whale refused to do a sequel to Frankenstein in 1933, Carl Laemmle, Jr. assigned Kurt Neumann to the task, with Boris Karloff as the monster and Bela Lugosi as the scientist. This project was dropped in favor of The Black Cat (see entry above), however, and reestablished in late 1934, when James Whale consented to direct the sequel.
Modern sources add the following names to the crew credits: Special Photography Effects David Horsley and Elec eff Kenneth Strickfaden. Modern sources add to the cast: Peter Shaw (Little Devil/Villager), John George, D'Arcy Corrigan, Grace Cunard and Maurice Black (Villagers), Murdock MacQuarrie (Sympathetic villager), Elspeth Dudgeon (Old gypsy woman), Helen Gibson, Harry Northrup and Joseph North. Modern sources also note that Franz Waxman's score, called "The Creation of the Female Monster," earned him a contract with Universal, and portions of the same score were also used in later Universal films. The image of Lanchester as the "Bride of Frankenstein" with wavy, streaked hair, has been used in innumerable film and print ads and humorous sketches since 1935. The shot of Lancaster screaming when she sees the Monster is frequently shown in documentaries on horror films. Sound director Gilbert Kurland received an Academy Award nomination in the Sound Recording category.
Bride of Frankenstein was the second Universal film to feature the Frankenstein Monster. It was followed in 1939 by Son of Frankenstein, directed by Rowland V. Lee and starring Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone. For more information on films featuring the Frankenstein Monster, please consult the Series Index and see the 1931 entry for Frankenstein (see below). In 1985, Columbia pictures released The Bride, directed by Franc Roddam and starring Sting and Jennifer Beals, which contained a storyline similar to Bride of Frankenstein. The 1998 film Gods and Monsters, directed by Bill Condon, featured Ian McKellen in a fictionalized account of the life of director James Whale and included numerous scenes recreating the making of Bride of Frankenstein.

It's been 85 days since the Iowa State football team last took the field, a 31-17 loss to Tulsa in the Liberty Bowl. Today, the Cyclones will step back on it as they begin spring practice.
It�s been 85 days since the Iowa State football team last took the field, a 31-17 loss to Tulsa in the Liberty Bowl. Today, the Cyclones will step back on it as they begin spring practice.
Here are five key storylines worth watching with college football returning:
1. How much progress does quarterback Sam Richardson make?
ISU�s annual search for more consistent quarterback play continues this spring with Richardson. He grabbed a hold of the starting spot late in his redshirt freshman season, as he threw for 541 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception.
Richardson, and Cyclone offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham, were both quick to point out during bowl practices that Richardson still has a ways to go as a signal caller.
�He continues to want to learn,� said Messingham in December, �not just physically learn, but mentally and I�ve seen him watching a lot more film on his own, which is great.�
He�s the only quarterback with Division I playing experience on the roster. His backup is redshirt freshman Grant Rohach.
How much growth Richardson makes this season could dictate how much growth the offense displays.
2. Who replaces Klein and Knott?
ISU linebackers A.J. Klein and Jake Knott will go down in history as two of the greatest Cyclone players of all time.
With both prepping for the NFL draft, the Cyclones must replace them. Linebacker Jeremiah George, who recorded 87 tackles last season, is a good place to start, but who steps up at the other linebacker spot? Jevohn Miller? Darius White? A surprise player?
Klein and Knott were the heart and soul of the ISU defense the last three seasons. How ISU goes about replacing their leadership, knowledge and football IQ will be just as key as who steps into their positions.
3. How does ISU fix the offensive line?
The play of the offensive line was a major issue for the Cyclones in 2012. Five times ISU scored 20 points or less as the offensive line struggled throughout the year to consistently open holes in the rushing game and protect the quarterback.
Priority number one for new offensive line coach Chris Klenakis is to get better play from a group that returns four starters from the bowl game.
And Klenakis has an idea of what he wants from his linemen.
�It doesn�t matter where I�ve coached offensive line at, Southern Miss, Nevada, Arkansas, we�ve been lean and physical and fast,� said Klenakis in January.
4. Getting Richardson a go-to wide receiver
The Cyclones lacked a true No. 1 receiver last year and developing one could make life easier for Richardson.
The top three receiving targets from last year (Aaron Horne, Chris Young and Josh Lenz) and gone, yet there are plenty of intriguing receivers capable of stepping up.
Quenton Bundrage showed flashes of his potential in the second half of last season, gaining 232 yards and scoring two touchdowns. Jarvis West is a jitterbug with playmaking ability.
Tight end Ernst Brun could also grow into the top receiving role too.
5. Who steps up at DT?
ISU is in need of two new starting defensive tackles after the loss of Jake McDonough and Cleyon Laing.
Don�t expect a starter to be named by the end of the spring, let alone by early in fall camp. But defensive tackles coach Shane Burnham�s thoughts on what he sees this spring will give a glimpse into where things sit heading into the season.

Peas? Low carb? Well, no, peas themselves are not. They are a starchy vegetable. I don't usually eat them, but I had some frozen peas thawed and needed to use them, and wondered if I could possibly make a salad out of them low enough in carbs per serving that I could enjoy them. So adding another very low carb veggie, such as zucchini, did the trick. This made a delicious once-in-a-while side dish that even a low-carber can enjoy. I used a "light" mayonnaise that is also low carb but you can use regular homemade mayo if you prefer which would be healthier. This has a smokey cheddar cheese in it that really gives it that extra something as well. You can also use more eggs in it, which I would have preferred, but my hubby does not like boiled eggs, so I only put in two and tried to sneak them by him. He did eventually notice them so I grabbed them off his plate out of his salad and happily ate them for him. I tell ya, it's a challenge cooking for a family that is all on different diets and has different likes and dislikes!
I also had a zucchini that needed to get used. So you might say this salad was my end-of-the-week-use-up-the-fresh-veggies-before-they-spoil salad. It turned out delicious! I would have also added celery, which you may decide to do, but my son does not like celery, *sigh*. What's a mother/wife to do? So add your own touches to this however you want. Less of one thing, more of another, whatever.
2 cups frozen peas -- thawed (OR fresh if you have them)
1 2/3 cups zucchini -- diced (about 1, 9 to 10-inch zucchini)
4 ounces Smokey Sharp Cheddar, (Hoffman's) -- cubed (or just plain cheddar)-double it if you prefer more cheese (I would have if I had had more)
1/4 cup green onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 large eggs, hard-boiled -- chopped
2 tablespoons Real Bacon Bits
1/2 cup Light Mayonnaise, Hellman's
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (OR sour cream)
1/2 tablespoon mustard
2 drops liquid sucralose
1 tablespoon vinegar
seasoned salt -- to taste
In medium salad bowl, mix peas, zucchini, cheese, onions, garlic, eggs, and bacon bits.
In mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, mustard, sucralose, vinegar, and seasoned salt. Mix well.
Pour dressing over vegetables and toss together.
Makes about 4 cups.

Jumpsuit - Goodwill, Denim Jacket - Express via Mom, Patches - all over California, Shoes - H&M, Bra - Target
My mom gave me this jacket because she didn't wear it anymore, and I quickly started turning into a patch/pin dream. The back of it has a cut out from a vintage Harley Davidson shirt that I owned. I got the jumpsuit for free at my work with this thing called ~BONUS BUCKS~. It's basically like a Christmas present from work. I'm okay with it.
This bra. Bra thing. It's a cotton bra with no support but it's hella cute and has this little lace trim and I had to have it. So, in order to keep myself propped up, I turn it into a criss-cross bra. This is a helpful tip for all you busty ladies who want freedom without lookin' like a hooligan.
Today is my day off so I'm hanging out in my studio, blasting Zeppelin and drinking coffee. I need to go buy toilet paper. I also stepped in dog poo after taking these pictures. Thank you for your time.
Happy Friday everyone! It's the first sunny day all week! Have a fantastic weekend.

He also spent as much time as I felt necessary going over all aspects of the report.
The information I got from him both verbally and in the report made my home buying experience enjoyable. I would not have gained this knowledge if I had not had mike inspect this house. I cannot say enough about my positive experience with Sunnyvale Construction Company.
I will definitely recommend Sunnyvale Construction Inspections to anyone buying a house."
– Lee S.
Our home badly needed repairs and upgrades. It's a 45-year-old house that suffered from lots of deferred maintenance, inadequate systems, and limited capacity to keep up with the needs of a family that works from — and spends basically all our time in — our home.
However, most contractors we interviewed were either too expensive, too stupid, too busy, not nice enough, too unreliable, too impatient, or too inflexible for our needs. By the time we met Jake, we were so frustrated with candidates that I was ready to plain give up on continuing home improvements. The stress was outweighing the perceived benefits.
We hired Jake based on his friendly personality, pricing, accurate assessment of our wants and needs, knowledge, enthusiasm to obtain further knowledge, quick response time when contacting him, qualifications to take on any or all of the projects, verifying local referrals and personally viewing the work done in their homes. No one else offered that. He was also willing to shop with us for materials. His company does only one job at a time, which is unusual and desirable. We also liked his close proximity to our house (we wanted someone who could show up on a moment's notice to handle things if necessary — we did NOT want to be our own general). It didn't take long to see what a fantastic decision we'd made!
Our house is now completely awesome and up-to-date. We have new bathrooms with radiant floor heat, new paint, new floors, all new and expanded electrical, new plumbing with amazing water pressure and new tankless water heater, new furnace (and now A/C too!), improved cabinets, adjusted closets, new doors and hardware, recessed lights, ceilings devoid of yucky cottage cheese, repairs of all the funky stuff common in homes older than 40+ years, an outdoor room, a finished garage, a usable attic, expanded custom storage, and new appliances. Almost every fixture has been replaced. It's better than a new home; it's a custom home!
Everyone hired through Jake to work on our house has been fantastic. He uses only the best people, with as much focus on details as the big picture. Nothing is too big or small to talk about if it's important to us. We have been able to trust the familiar faces that have come through here because we love the results and respect shown to our property.
If I had to pick the most special thing about Jake and his team, it's their ability to determine and cater to what matters to clients based on the way that they live and expressly/implicitly want to live. Prior to Sunnyvale Construction Co., I'd never met any tradespeople who considered lifestyle as much as structure in planning renovations. Examples:
*I love gardening and feeding birds in my backyard, so they extended the patio cover; were extra careful of my plants when trenching for the repipe, and even asked about my flowers. The improved water pressure has sure made watering easier!
*We use a lot of technology, so they added lots of outlets to plug in things more comfortably.
*I'm an oil painter, so they helped improve the garage with more art studio capability than I ever thought possible.
*We severely lacked display and storage, so they installed lots of shelves and cabinets of our choosing and upgraded the structure and access to the attic.
*I love shiny things, so they used shiny finishes wherever possible (we even have chrome weatherstripping!).
*We have pets, so washable paint was used on the walls in case of messes. They even ask how our cats are doing!
*Our bedroom was cramped, dark, and uncomfortable, so the electrician made it into a true master suite by suggesting a different furniture layout with accompanying changes in lighting and TV installation.
*We now have a media room — yay!!!!
Now, not a single square inch of space on our property is wasted. Every bit of it is practical, beautiful, or both. Awesome!
If you are looking to improve your home and experience matters to you, call Jake. Even if you're not sure what can be done, or how, call him anyway. You may be surprised! Our home has never been so gorgeous, practical, or appropriate, but beyond that, we now have a wonderful construction team who are also our friends."
– Sue Ellen E.

Edward Davis, Police Commissioner, Boston Police Department, MA
NIJ Conference 2011
June 20-22
Edward Davis Action research has made all the difference in our department. First of all with all the experimentation that occurred in Boston in the 1990s—the Cease Fire project and all of the lessons learned from targeted enforcement and also from making strong links with the community. In addition to that, Anthony Braga has been Policy Advisor to me since I've been there. He's continued a series of studies and experiments in Boston that have really informed our deployment decisions day in and day out. We know that there is a small number of city blocks that's responsible for a significant number of the shootings. There's a spine of the city that runs down Blue Hill Avenue and then heads over to Jamaica Plain, where all of the shootings are occurring. We've deployed special teams—violence reduction teams—into those areas. And the hot spots that we've identified in those areas have been responsible for reductions in overall crime in the city of almost 20 percent in four years. So we're very happy with the information that we're garnering from Anthony's work and from other research in the field, and we put it to use daily.
I really think that the work that Rob Sampson has done in opening the door up to this collective efficacy question and trust with the community, you know, everybody knows that trust is good. But how do you establish trust? What is it exactly that people want you to do make them feel better about the police department? Clearly our arrests have gone down in neighborhoods where crime has gone down. We're not using that sort of hook 'em and book 'em mentality that was prevalent years ago. But what we are paying attention to is the message that we're sending to people, outreach through social media, for instance, Text a Tip program where anonymous people can call in and tell us what's happening. You have to be available to people, and they have to see results. They have to understand that when they call you, and they ask you to do something, that something comes from that. So that feedback loop is extremely important. And we're doing that in many different ways.

Key: SR = Studio Reporter (Lolita Lee)FR = Field Reporter (Linda Lam)H = Hercules
SR: Good evening ladies and gentlemen this is Lolita Lee with the 7 o?clock ABC news.
Later tonight, an interview with Hercules, the hero with strength of 10 men. We talk to him about his toughest of all missions, his journey to the Underworld.
But first tonight, a young woman was killed by the river earlier this evening.
Euridice, aged 23, was bitten by a snake while running near by the river. It is believed she trod on a cobra snake, which bit her on the leg.
We cross now to our filed reporter Linda Lam for more details.
FR: Thanks Lolita, I?m standing by the river at the site of Euridice?s tragic death earlier this evening. As you can probably hear, there are quite a large number of people from the town at the scene.
The body has been taken away and police investigations are taking place.
About 10 minutes ago I spoke to a man called Cunet best known as the beekeeper, who was a witness to Euridice?s death.
He said that he was walking along the river when he saw Euridice sitting on a chair by the river. When he walked up to her to say hello she suddenly jumped off the chair and ran off without looking where she was going. Unfortunately, he said, she trod on a Cobra. The creature reared up and bit her on the leg. Within a few minutes she was dead.
I also spoke to some people who were by the river when the accident occurred. Tow senior citizens said that Euridice was sitting on one of the benches by the river when him, the said pointing at Cunet the beekeeper, crept...

Forum club in Israel by Nir Portal Architects and Shahar Weiss
May 28th, 2014 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Nir Portal Architects
After 25 years of running business and becoming the most legendary club in the desert periphery of Israel, the 'forum' had to relocate to new space and to invent itself from the beginning.
Spread over his 2000 sq. /m, the new forum, have become the reason Youngers are driving 1.5 hours from center of Israel to participate in its parties.
Design guidelines instructed us to create a layout and changing atmosphere so the club could host parties, events, and concerts. As per design concerns, it actually meant that we cannot design the club in totally dark space with only lighting fixtures that will create the atmosphere, but to treat it as an high end design cause some of the events will be very lighted.
All railing of tribunes and gallery has led lighting that project thru the glass, creating strong image of layout. A custom made halogen table lamps creates contrast warm lighting.
In club area we planted 16 alcohol bars, all lighted in same way as railing. Above each bar hanged an alcohol display made of steel net and metal frame.
Major club walls covered with osb printed panels. Graphics on panels were designed to bring atmosphere of industrial yet warm atmosphere, thus wall were washed with narrow beam spot light, to create dramatic boundaries to club.
600 led tube are hanged from ceiling, each tube has its own IP address, so all ceiling can act as huge screen controlled by light jokey.
5 meter high moving acoustic screen can divide the space into 4 separate small clubs; each can have its own dj and music.
Except of the main hall, the club has a lot of hidden and more intimate areas, for different kind of hang out. Little love nests, hidden from eyes, is spread all around so lovers can find a quiet corner just to their selves.
