NY Sea Grant and DEC Award $200,000 to Great Lakes Action Agenda Projects

Grant Projects will Enhance Community and Ecosystem Resiliency

Ithaca, NY. New York Sea Grant in partnership with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced that nearly $200,000 has been awarded to eight projects advancing the practice of resiliency in New York's Great Lakes watershed. Consistent with New York's Great Lakes Action Agenda (GLAA), the projects are enhancing community and ecological resiliency throughout the watershed, while supporting water quality improvements and the restoration of native wildlife and habitats.

"These grants are part of New York's ongoing commitment to strengthen New York Great Lakes Basin's environment and economy. For the third year in a row, Governor Cuomo has sustained the State's Environmental Protection Fund at $300 million, supporting critical projects in the Great Lakes watershed and across the state, protecting and enhancing New York's unmatched natural resources," said DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos.

New York Sea Grant Associate Director Katherine E. Bunting-Howarth said, "These small grants address a broad range of opportunities to implement projects from Western New York to the St. Lawrence River region. Projects utilize living shoreline practices to protect property, enhance aquatic habitat, assess wastewater system upgrade options and inform local stakeholders about resilience practices, while applying a comprehensive ecosystem-based management approach to benefit New York's Great Lakes environmental and human communities and stakeholders."

New York Sea Grant administers the State's Great Lakes Basin Small Grants Program, now in its fourth year of successfully funding projects that achieve goals of the GLAA, as identified by basin-wide stakeholders.

The 2018-2019 Great Lakes Basin Small Grant award recipients are:

Western New York Land Conservancy, East Aurora, $25,000: Enhancing Ecosystem Integrity and Climate Resiliency by Restoring Rare Wetland Seep Ecosystems in the Niagara Gorge: Measures to control non-native invasive plants in the wetland seeps and adjoining areas will add to a larger multi-year effort to restore plant communities throughout the Niagara Gorge, with additional funding from the Greenway Ecological Standing Committee and Governor Cuomo's Buffalo Billion II initiative. This work to restore the Niagara Gorge coincides with the removal of two miles of the expressway along the top of the gorge rim adjacent to the project site.

City of Ogdensburg: Alternative Solutions for Managing Erosion: Engineered Solutions vs. Nature-Based Approach and the Implications for Access to Waterfront Recreation, $25,000: Funding supports the siting and design of living shoreline features, and identification of impediments to their use. The public will be engaged in a discussion about the best ways to protect the shoreline from erosion and flood damage, while preserving and enhancing opportunities for waterfront access and recreation. The SAGE: Systems Approach to Geomorphic Engineering process developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will be used to assess coastal vulnerability and develop risk reduction measures that both sustain a healthy environment and create a resilient shoreline.

Genesee-Finger Lakes Regional Planning Commission, $25,000: Post-Flood Recovery Building Workshop: Through a whole community-driven planning process, all stakeholder groups in the Sodus Point area can react to the 2017 flood and erosion event along Lake Ontario by identifying past, current, and future challenges and strengths based on infrastructure, environment, economy, tourism, and other community components. Actions to improve community resilience to future high and low water levels and to better integrate coastal resiliency efforts into local planning and management will be developed and prioritized.

Onondaga Environmental Institute, Syracuse, $24,987: Improving Aquatic Habitat Connectivity in the Onondaga Creek Watershed for Coldwater Species Restoration in the Face of a Changing Climate: Increasing native riparian vegetation and removing invasive vegetation from adjacent areas is enhancing and expanding restoration efforts at the Onondaga Creek public access location along Tully Farms Road in Tully, NY. This will significantly improve riparian habitat and canopy cover that can support sustained brook trout survival, growth, and reproduction, as well as maintain stream temperatures and bank stability. Onondaga Creek watershed community members, including youth and school groups, will have environmental stewardship volunteer opportunities to assist with tree plantings, and learn about the watershed, and the role of riparian restoration in protecting stream ecosystems.

Environmental Finance Center at Syracuse University, Syracuse, $25,000: Creating Community and Watershed Resiliency through Training and Technical Assistance: This project will offer two workshops to spur shoreline and upland communities toward implementing Ecosystem-based Management in community planning efforts, specifically to increase flood resiliency. Participants will be equipped with the tools and knowledge to cope with flooding events while maintaining ecosystem integrity and balancing the economic and social needs of their communities. Educational materials and resiliency financing plans will be developed in communities along the southern Lake Ontario shore in Wayne County.

Town of Greece: Waterfront Infrastructure Resiliency Assessment, $25,000: The project is examining wastewater system failures in the Town of Greece and identifying and prioritizing solutions, such as hard projects, strategies, and policies for implementation, in the interest of public health and safety, and to safeguard nearby sensitive wetland habitats in DEC's Braddock Bay Fish and Wildlife Management Area. The focus is on improving the integrity and operation of waterfront sewer systems in the face of potentially increasing seasonal high water conditions.

The Nature Conservancy, Rochester: Salmon Creek/South Avenue Engineering Study, $25,000: Funding supports work with a qualified environmental engineering firm to conduct a hydrologic and hydraulic study of the Salmon Creek/South Avenue area surrounding Hilton, NY. The study is evaluating flood attenuation options in three areas by updating the hydrology to current day, supplementing existing LiDAR: Light Detection and Ranging data with field-collected elevation data, and modeling current conditions and future scenarios. This work is crucial to the Village II Apartments, adjacent property owners, and the Village of Hilton. Public feedback will inform selection of an approach that will result in the best risk reduction to residents and businesses, while improving water quality and riparian habitat.

St. Lawrence County, Canton, $25,000: Enhancing Shoreline Resilience Along the St. Lawrence River in St. Lawrence County: St. Lawrence County in partnership with the City of Ogdensburg, and the Town and Village of Morristown, is utilizing a stakeholder-driven planning process to assess ecosystem vulnerability and determine how resiliency measures can be incorporated into local planning. The area addressed includes 40 miles of frontage on the St. Lawrence River and the portion of the River shoreline that includes the Towns of Lisbon, Oswegatchie, Morristown and Hammond, and the City of Ogdensburg and Village of Morristown. Project leader: Keith Zimmerman, Director of Planning, St. Lawrence County

New York's Great Lakes Basin Small Grants Program is a project of the state Environmental Protection Fund's Ocean and Great Lakes Ecosystem Conservation Program. Grant projects support the goals of the Interim Great Lakes Action Agenda, a plan for applying ecosystem-based management to complex environmental problems in order to conserve, protect and enhance irreplaceable Great Lakes natural resources.

When it comes to being a driver, it is exciting at first since you have this new sense of freedom, but perhaps you did not know what expenses came with being a driver of your own vehicle. Of course, you have your normal expenses such as car insurance and having to keep the tank full, along with the routine care such as oil changes and the like, but did you know there are also unexpected costs that can come up along the life of being on the road with your vehicle? Here are some surprising facts on some of those unexpected costs that perhaps you did not put into the driving around equation.

Accidents that are not your fault may require you to pay something out of pocket. This is especially true if the other driver that started the accident leaves the scene before you can get any of their insurance information. This can become frustrating, but it is something that happens.

Unexpected long term maintenance which might leave your car in the shop and you without wheels. So you might have to dish out some money to get a nice rental car to get you from here to there. If you’re under 25, the costs of a rental could be higher than if you are 25 or older.

Any type of technology that you have in your car breaking. This can be a pretty penny to have it replaced when it comes to wanting to use it. It could be anything from the GPS system to the sound system in your vehicle.

Traffic violations or parking tickets can be a big thing. When it comes to not obeying the rules of the road, you will get a ticket for it and you can bet it might be pricey depending on the offense. Sometimes you do not know that you’re going too fast because you feel good, you’re listening to music and next thing you know, you’re also being wrote a ticket to pay.

Normal wear and tear of a vehicle has to get fixed. When it comes to rust or anything that might happen – minor scratches, bumps, etc. that come along with owning a vehicle can also cost you extra money out of your pocket since insurance usually does not cover these small things.

The state registration fees that need to be done every year in order to maintain your vehicle can cost a good amount when it comes to owning a vehicle. You want to know that it is done when needed without having to worry about getting pulled over and given another ticket. The fees are usually based on the type of car, color and the driver themselves.

Parking permits for working or going to school. These are usually an annual fee that you will have to pay to park in their garage or parking lot and they can add up over the years. Without them though, you will have to pay even more to park in the spots on the street.

It’s a safe bet if you’re in Orlando, your air conditioning is on full blast right now. But, Labor Day is just around the corner and pretty soon the cold winds will blow, and your air conditioner will be put into hibernation for another season. You might not give much thought to your air conditioner in the winter months, but the fact is you have to take some fundamental precautions to protect your unit in the winter months if you’d like to avoid costly maintenance come next summer.

The most important thing is to protect your air conditioning unit from dirt, debris and corrosion when it’s not in use. It’s surprising how many people neglect this considering how expensive AC units are. A cover is absolutely essential. During the winter months twigs, leaves, trash and small animals could invade your unit if it’s not well covered. Moisture will creep in to cause corrosion to the coils which, if it builds up to a certain point, can result in having to hire a professional who specializes in Orlando air conditioning to power wash them.

When selecting a cover for your unit, make sure it fits nice and snug to provide maximum protection from the elements. The manufacturer probably offers one custom made for your unit, and it’s well worth the extra investment. A good cover should be able to breathe, in other words provide ventilation but at the same time act as a barrier to moisture and debris.

It’s good practice to clean your AC unit as best as you can before putting it away for the winter, removing any obvious dirt and perhaps hosing it down. If possible, make sure you turn off the power to your air conditioner by placing the breaker switch to the off position, and turning off the water going to the unit. This will ensure that the AC isn’t turned on accidentally while the cover is in place, which could cause serious damage to your unit.

Your air conditioning unit needs care all year round, not just during the summer. For professional advice on how to protect your air conditioning in Orlando contact Del-Air Heating & Air Conditioning, your go-to source for all your heating and air conditioning needs.

Border Patrol seizes $209,120 in marijuana near border

CLINT, Texas —  A total of four suspected smugglers and $209,120.00 in marijuana were intercepted by Border Patrol agents in what proved to be the start of a busy weekend for El Paso Sector.

Last Friday, while performing surveillance duties, agents assigned to the Clint Border Patrol Station observed four individuals carrying large cellophane-wrapped bundles attempting to cross an agricultural field toward Texas Highway 20.

Immediately upon seeing the Border Patrol vehicles converging on the field, the four subjects discarded their bundles into a drainage ditch. One of the individuals attempted to conceal himself in the desert brush, while the other three sprinted south back toward Mexico.  After a brief foot chase, agents apprehended all three subjects.  The fourth subject who was attempting to conceal himself in a drainage canal near the large bundles, was apprehended with the assistance of a K9 unit.

It was discovered that the four bundles contained a total of 261.4 pounds of marijuana, valued at $209,120. The individuals were identified as Raul Antonio Alvarado-Lozano, 23, from Mexico,Christian Margarito Banderas-Peralta, 20, from Mexico, and 18-year-old Alexis Arturo Enriquez-Moreno also from Mexico.  Records checks revealed that the fourth subject was a juvenile, and was voluntarily returned back to Mexico. The remaining three subjects and the illegal drugs were taken into custody by DEA and are pending prosecution.

Later that evening in Santa Teresa, N.M., Arturo Ocon-Garcia, 41, of Mexico, was arrested immediately after entering the country illegally. Agents from the Santa Teresa Horse Patrol Unit came across footprints headed north from the Mexico/U.S. border. They tracked the foot-sign about a mile north until they encountered five subjects from Mexico.  Among the group was Ocon-Garcia, a convicted criminal sex-offender with a criminal record. It was later revealed that that he was previously convicted for Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault/Aggravated Sexual Abuse, in Chicago, Illinois.  Ocon-Garcia will be held pending criminal and removal proceedings

Friday night, a concerned citizen called and notified authorities that there were two people who were seen walking through the desert from the U.S./Mexico border. U.S. Border Patrol agents were dispatched to their last known location, while additional agents began using night-vision technology to scan the area  The responding agents arrested two subjects in the desert who apparently had crossed the U.S./Mexico border illegally.  As agents were affecting the arrest, a 2008 Suzuki sedan with two people drove up to the location. Due to the time of day and the location that the Suzuki stopped, it was suspected the driver was there to pick up the two men who allegedly had illegally crossed into the country. After the agents placed the two men under arrest, they searched the vehicle and located a 9-mm handgun with a 30 round high-capacity magazine, along with more than $2,000 in cash.

The passenger, identified as U.S. Citizen Ricardo Rivera, 25, was placed under arrest and is pending prosecution for 8 USC 1324-Domestic Transporting. The driver was released due to his lack of knowledge about the smuggling scheme. The U.S. Border Patrol seized the handgun, the high capacity magazine, the currency and the vehicle as part of the smuggling scheme.

Bev Reardon

Schools and Colleges Liaison Tutor

staff profile

College of Arts, Humanities and Education

Markeaton Street, Derby Campus

I am Schools and Colleges Liaison Tutor for Academic Outreach. My role draws upon my creative and teaching experience, requiring creative thinking, problem solving, networking, good organisational skills and working under pressure to deadlines.

I'm focused on relationship building with post-16 education providers, employers, trusts, charities, funders and other organisations within Art, Engineering and Technology.

Leading a dedicated team of subject-expert academics and researchers, I create and develop activities and experiences for post-16 students to get a real, hands-on feel for university and the subject area of their choice, liaising with prospective students, parents and teachers to enable a clear progression path and transition to university.

I created and manage both the University's 'Women in Engineering' event and 'STEMpunk' which specifically promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects to a younger audience along with their parents. I'm involved with numerous STEM projects, activities and research with the aim of educating and informing parents and children about the 'hidden STEM careers' available, along with progression pathways and opportunities through hands-on activities and events.

I was one of the lead developers of the Art-based Nature Connections Festival with Chris Packham and successfully managed the content, programme and logistics for both events.

My main aim and focus is to raise aspirations and fuel the enthusiasm of prospective students and their families. I'm passionate about my role and I believe that education is the key to social mobility and increased opportunity for those who wish to open the door.

'Potbank', my current area of research, centres on the pottery industry and the lives of ex-workers who are living with dementia. This is an Art-based project with many strands, some of which are firmly rooted in Technology and Engineering. As I work across these three areas, I am fortunate to be able to bring them together and utilise expert advice and practice.

Garlic Herb Rack of Lamb

This rack of lamb will knock your socks right off. That simple combination of garlic and herbs really kick up the natural flavor of the lamb. Enjoy any time you like or cook this one up on special occasions.

Garlic Herb Rack of Lamb on a Pellet Grill

Garlic Herb Rack of Lamb

Derrick Riches
Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 25 mins
Total Time 40 mins
Course Main Dish
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

  • Pellet Grill

  • 1 rack of lamb 2 pounds
  • 5 cloves garlic medium-sized, peeled
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine dry preferred
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt kosher or sea
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon fresh marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Remove any straggling layers of fat from the rack of lamb (it’s best to have your butcher do this if you are new to the concept). Don’t remove it all, but you will need that meaty surface for the seasoning paste to adhere to.
  • Slather garlic-herb paste onto the surface of the meat, and let stand for 10 minutes or so.
  • Set your pellet cooker temperature for 400 degrees F.
  • Once ready, place your rack of lamb seasoned side up in the center of the grill. Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes depending on the desired doneness. For medium-rare, remove the rack of lamb when then internal temperature, measured in the center of the meat portion reads 120 degrees F. For medium go to 130 degrees. For medium-well cook to 140 degrees.
  • Cover the rack of lamb immediately after removing it from the grill. Let it rest for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Carve into individual chops and serve.

  • Pellet suggestions: Hickory or Apple

The accuracy of the MSM

Yesterday, your humble Devil spotted that BBC Environmental Analyst, Roger Harrabin, had claimed that Al Gore was an environmental science graduate. However, I could find no evidence of this and so I emailed Harrabin for clarification. He has replied.
He talks at length about his university teacher an environmental scientist
I'll look into it

And then...

I have had a cursory look on the web and it looks as though he took courses in science but did not graduate in it. I will change the wording on the Online article asap then try to unpick the full details when I have finished the other stories I am chasing. Thanks very much for pointing this out - really valuable feedback.

Harrabin has now altered his article to read thusly.
Remember that Al Gore, who first studied climate science when he was at university, has been trying to alert the public to climate change for a quarter of a century.

Except that there is no evidence for this either. As Wikipedia says, Al Gore first majored in English at university, not climate science or, indeed, any kind of science.

I have emailed Roger Harrabin again.

Thank you for your quick response and the alteration to your article. However, the paragraph now reads that Gore "first studied climate science when he was at university" but he actually first majored in English (before moving to a Government major).

[I know that Wikipedia is not utterly reliable, but one would have thought that -- given his current career -- any reference to Gore having any meaningful qualifications in this area might be a priority.]

Is it possible that he studied climate science at some elementary level, such as at high school? In which case, I am afraid that I do not consider that to be worth mentioning in a credible comment piece: there is a substantial difference between school-level and degree-level science.

I appreciate that you are busy, but I think that it is important get the facts right.

P.S. It is worth remembering that Gore is known for being a little... um... flexible with the actualite.

But my favourite Gore memory lapse is his account of being sung to sleep with the lullaby Look for the Union Label, written in 1975. How sweet: being sung to sleep by your parents at the age of 27.

You see, this is why we need the MSM: because they have armies of researchers and conscientious journalists to check the facts...

"I have spent much of the last two decades of my journalistic life warning about the potential dangers of climate change"

It is Roger Harrabin use of the word "warning" made me uneasy - wouldn't "reporting" be more appropriate for a journalist.

Trixy said...

Harrabin or Hairbrain?

Anonymous said...

While not being fond of Gore, remember that in the US you have to take certain courses outwith your major. Everyone - no matter what your major is - will study basic science and mathematics courses.

In this context, it's very likely that Gore took some sort of introductory course ("Environmental Science 101"?), so it is probably literally true that he studied environmental science at university. However, it's also misleading since most "101" classes are so basic as to be irrelevant and often work at a lower level than even the English 'A' Level or Scottish Higher.

Be wary of Americans who claim to have studied Subject X at college. They'll often have studied less of it in tertiary education than you would in a British secondary.

Devil's Kitchen said...

Yes, I suspected that he may have taken something that basic -- equivalent to a British university "outside course" -- but that does not lend him any qualifications. To even imply that it did is to be highly misleading.

>Yes, I suspected that he may have taken something that basic -- equivalent to a British university "outside course"<

I dunno what those are. What are they? I know that some of the Scottish Ancients continue to run a system that's not totally dissimilar to the American where you take a variety of "level 1" courses in addition to your main subject(s).

>but that does not lend him any qualifications. To even imply that it did is to be highly misleading.<

Ha! And what exactly did you expect from the Beeb? Foolish boy! But, seriously, the big question is whether this is deliberate deception in pursuit of an agenda or simply the result of the usual BBC incompetence/laziness.

My money's on the latter, I have to say. I don't think Harrabin has the intellectual wherewithal to attempt formulate and attempt any real deception in this way.

Either way, our money at work. Makes you proud, so it does.

Peter Risdon said...

Gore studied under Roger Revelle, the "father of global warming" - or not. It ended in tears, and the libel court.

Harrabin really ought to know this.

Basically, Gore misunderstood the climate science course and his teacher. Really. So when Revelle and Fred Singer published a piece in Cosmos arguing that global warming wasn't alarming and we shouldn't panic, then Revelle died suddenly, Gore had the indecency to suggest he had been senile when the Cosmos piece was written. A Gore acolyte then turned up the heat, wound up in the libel courts and apologised to Singer as part of a settlement.

Imagine my surprise, then, when said acolyte turned up on my blog a couple of months ago, repeating the libel.

oh wait... maybe not

Mambo Bananapatch said...

Well, they checked it with a guy named Mike, and then again at AlGoreIsGod.com. How can you be so cynical? What do you think they are, biased? Come now.

Raymond Woodbury said...

According to "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism" (2007, 238) by Christopher C. Horner, Gore's university classes included "Natural Sciences 118," in which he received a C+, and "Natural Sciences 6 (Man's Place in Nature)," in which he got an (ungentlemanly) D.

Horner cites the Washington Post in 2000 but is not more specific. He presents only those grades on a table, so if he aced NS101-117 and/or NS1-5, we know not.

Unknown said...

Al Gore a science graduate? People, don't make me laugh. He's a modern-day snake-oil salesman who manage to bedazzle the Nobel committed and pocketed a little award (which is now forever tarnished and degraded because of him).

If I were less polite, I'd say Gore is a con-artist and a fraud -- but I wouldn't say that, would I?

I can, in complete honesty, say I studied classical Greek at school.

Anonymous said...

As somebody pointed out above, in the US, most universities follow a liberal arts program where you have to take a couple of years of general subjects before moving on to your specific major. Being a graduate of a US university, and given the requirements of the BBC for proficiency, I would like to humbly offer them my expertise on the following subjects: psychology, anthropology, sociology, biology, literature, history, economics, French, art (history and applied), theater, fisheries, botany, geography, algebra, architecture, philosophy, film and television studies, journalism and theology.

Sure, I only majored in one of those, but I studied them all...

The very model of a modern scientific man

Your humble Devil was thoroughly amused by Neil Ferguson's fall from grace, and is very pleased to have found the time to outline Fergus...

A quick word on browsers

Indulge me for a bit (or skip this post if you have no interest)...

Over all platforms, we have come a long way from the dark days when the only web browsers available were Internet Explorer and Netscape. This trend has been especially notable on the Mac—following the trend of software generally since the move to a Free BSD-based OS (Mac OS X)—and there are now a plethora of browsers to choose from.

One that we do not have to choose is, of course, Internet Exploder: Microsoft stopped development of IE Mac earlier this decade, after Apple released Safari as the Mac's default browser. I cannot say that I am disappointed: all versions of IE have dodgy rendering of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS: the code used to control the appearance of web pages), and IE 5 Mac was simply another headache—since the MS Mac development team is mostly independent, IE 5 Mac rendered completely differently from IE 5 Windows. Having said that, of course, IE 5 Mac was the first mainstream browser to add any kind of support for CSS, and so the MS Mac team should be thanked for that!

Of course, although there are now many, many browers to choose from, there are only a few rendering engines and, as a CSS designer, this is what matters to me. Broadly speaking, there are four main rendering engines in wide usage: Gecko, Webkit, Trident and Presto.

The most insignificant (though not without its fanatical followers) is Presto, a proprietory engine used by the Opera browser.

Trident is the collective name for all of the various rendering engines used in the assorted releases of Internet Explorer. I think that my readers will know the loathing with which I regard IE and that it pisses me off, every day of my life, that I have to hack my beautiful, simple and elegant CSS in order to cater for its defects.

Most interesting at present are the two remaining engines, the first of which is Gecko. The Gecko engine obeys most CSS standards and the latest version (1.9.x) adds support for some non-standard code too, e.g. CSS rounded corners and drop shadows. Browsers that use Gecko include Firefox (and the next version alpha, Shiretoko), Camino (my favourite all-round browser, with new Camino v2 beta), Flock and the Seamonkey application suite.

Camino is my personal favourite browser and I would highly recommend it. It is a Mac OS only browser and, since it is build specifically for that OS, is far faster than Firefox—it just feels less like wading through treacle. Sure, it doesn't have the add-on architecture that Firefox has, but it does most things that I need to do anyway and it doesn't take 83 million years to open a new window. The main reason that I still use it is simply because I have for years, however, and I have yet to make the leap to a far more exciting browser...

For, as a web developer, one browser beats them all: Webkit. Webkit came out of the KHTML rendering engine and is both the name of the rendering engine and of a browser.

Webkit is the Open Source project run by Apple and the rendering engine's progression is regularly reincorporated into the Safari browser. However, the Webkit browser is what you want to use if you want to see some seriously cutting edge CSS stuff such as reflections, masks, gradients, transforms and animations, all controlled through CSS. For exciting developments in CSS, no other rendering engine comes close.

Since Webkit is, like Gecko, Open Source, it has been incorporated into numerous other browsers; each one is pretty unique—each one attempting to bring new functionality to their browser.

Some are simply a proof of concept, like the Google Chrome-emulating Stainless; others provide novel interface enhancements, like Shiira or Cruz (this latter has the potential to be stunningly good).

And, of course, Google's Chrome (although it has yet to arrive on Mac OS) is already gathering a considerable amount of market share, considering how recently it was released.

There are probably many more that I have missed (and I have only really tested the Mac OS ones, obviously) but the point is made: there are a huge number of small companies releasing great browsers that obey W3C code standards.

Actually, they are better, for the browser developers do not move at the glacial pace of the W3C—it seems likely, for instance, that widespread use of CSS rounded corners will be implemented long before the official CSS3 standards are agreed (and thank fuck for that: flexible rounded corners are an absolute bitch to simulate properly with images).

It seems that drop shadows, too, will also be widely done through CSS (and they are, in some circumstances, utterly impossible to do properly): Webkit already supports them, and the next edition of Firefox will also (the current version already does text drop shadows).

It's all looking like we developers will be able to do a lot more, with a lot less effort. Now, if people would just get rid of IE and move to a better browser (or if IE would simply buck its ideas up), then we'd be laughing.

Oh, and everyone would get faster-loading, nicer-looking and better-functioning websites...

My first website had "works best in Netscape" on it. Sigh. I feel very old now.

Are you gay for rounded corners or something DK ?

Speaking as a consumer of the internet, all I require from a website is that it loads quickly and doesn't give me a headache by using some retarded colour scheme like white 8pt text on a black background.

I don't care what shape the fucking corners are, or even if there are any corners. I especially don't want a flash movie as the intro. In fact I don't want flash anywhere, or reflections, masks, gradients and animations.

All I care about is how to find the product I want, it's specifications and how to purchase it. You could do that with notepad.

Devil's Kitchen said...

Unfortunately, Anon, you are not my clients (or not directly) and many of them are "gay for rounded corners", as you so eloquently put it.

Besides, I am also a designer and I say that things should look good, especially if, by doing so, they help people to navigate the site.

Life would be very grey and dull if we all navigated life with fucking Notepad.

The world would be a much nicer place if everyone, at the very least, dumped IE6.

I *hate* that browser.

Roger Thornhill said...

One thing I have noticed about browsers I use (Camino, Safari, Firefox, Opera) is that they do not seem to understand about multitasking. If one site is loading slowly, the other tabs/windows and even reactions to commands basically stop functioning. Scrolling is erratic, tab switching is almost non-existent. This happens even when loading this very site, for Iain Dale loads faster yet I cannot scroll propery his page until this site has finished.

Now, I am watching the CPU usage and this is often not the problem. Even if it were, my desire to swap tab should take priority over anything the rendering engine wants to do. If I swap tab, the tab I am looking at should take precedence over whatever is happening in a background tab or a foreground tab on a background window. Period.

This problem appears to have got worse since Leopard and the move to Intel, but I am on a G4. It might be that the programmers are imported from Windowsland (i.e. crap) or they presume that we all have Octacore workstations. Not sure.

Even so, a single CPU with proper priority control and process scheduling should not cause such problems.

I read in Waters* that there is a big shortage of programmers and architects who properly understand what true concurrency is. I suspect this is on the money if the above is anything to go by. If it is really the case, I might be able to earn a crust in that area again, for I have done that stuff since the late 1980's.

The biggest fear I have is that Leopard, i.e. BSD Unix, might be fundamentally crap at process scheduling and does not provide the granularity of process priorities or interrupts to make things work smoothly.

John B said...

Roger - get Chrome. Each tab is run as a separate process. Is good.

Deadbeat Dad said...

I suspect your Firefox performance problems are down to a rogue extension, DK. FF is not the quickest, but '83 million years to open a new window'? Nah.

Remember the pre-X MacOS, which could be brought to its knees by an errant extension or a conflict between extensions? Well, FF is a bit like that, and the solution is the same: disable half of the extensions; if that cures it, re-enable the disabled extensions, half of them at a time, until you isolate the source of the problem. I've had intermittent issues with FF, and this method has sorted it every time.

Aside from all the added browsing functionality they offer, there are many extensions (Web Developer and Firebug, amongst others) which make Firefox virtually essential for productive web development. Or does Camino cover these bases too?

In any case, I am sure you'll agree, decent performance - regardless of browser, platform or bandwidth - more often comes down to considerate design on the part of the developer. Some sites are now so overloaded with script-ballast and dependencies on 3rd party servers that they are ball-achingly slow even at the best of times.

"One thing I have noticed about browsers I use (Camino, Safari, Firefox, Opera) is that they do not seem to understand about multitasking. If one site is loading slowly, the other tabs/windows and even reactions to commands basically stop functioning. Scrolling is erratic, tab switching is almost non-existent. This happens even when loading this very site, for Iain Dale loads faster yet I cannot scroll propery his page until this site has finished."

No problems here, running Firefox 2 and Opera 9.5 under XP. I usually have at least a couple of dozen open tabs between sessions (it used to be as many as a hundred, before I started using the Scrapbook add-on for FF...), and both browsers behave fine.

If you haven't already done so, try adding NoScript, Adblock Plus, FlashBlock and FasterFox to Firefox. Between them, they'll make a whole world of difference to your browsing experience.

Dr Evil said...

I have been using Firefox ever since it came out. I don't find it particularly slow but I haven't done a scientific comparison. It's fine for my needs. I dislike IE because it is such a victim re hackers and crackers world wide with grudges against Microsoft. I tried Opera a few years ago but it was hopeless. I have heard a lot of good things about Safari. It's great to have choice.

"Besides, I am also a designer and I say that things should look good, especially if, by doing so, they help people to navigate the site."

Yes, it's important. I would say "of course" but there are plenty of semi-autistic types who read this blog and don't understand the importance of either aesthetics or ergonomics.

Just look at the latest TV ad from all these feeble people getting orgasmic over how they can actually use the new (implicitly admitting that the old one was a POS, and, more to the point, that bad design cost them revenue).

James Higham said...

Hold on. i click on you and get some super slick thing with lots of tabs along the top, including your blog and then i click again and get here. Just where are you, DK?

Jon said...

Yes, Camino is the mutt's nuts. So too is the Mac.

When I am compelled to switch on my Windows computer, the first thing it does is check with the Redmond mothership for instructions, no doubt transmitting at the same time microscopic bits of my snot, dandruff, etc., for DNA analysis. Then it proceeds, without a by-your-leave, to download 140 Gb of upgrades and security patches for stuff I never use, like IE. Then when it's done that it demands a restart. Then, once the restart is finally complete, it proceeds, without a by-your-leave, to download 140 Gb of data from McAfee. By the time it's done that, I've forgotten why I wanted to use Windows in the first place and the required restart is upgraded in my head to a merciful shut down.

Ubuntu Linux is more polite, but OS X is politer still.

Thus I am definitely in the market for a polite browser, of which Camino is the supreme example.

Politeness ... my resolution for 2009!

What SWC said. All the time most of the big corps out there are fucking stupid enough to force IE6 on their poor workers it doesn't really matter amazing stuff the latest browsers can do.

I fuckin hate IE6. That cunting browser has wasted months of my life.

Roger Thornhill said...

JohnB: Chrome does not run on OSX yet.

Deadbead Dad: I am aware that it is likely ropey plug ins, but that is not the point. A ropey plugin for a background pane should NOT slow down the foreground pane in terms of interrupts like tabbing or scrolling.

James Higham: I am at NAMF and open DK, Tim Worstall, Daily Telegraph, The Times, Guido, Iain Dale from my blogroll. I am unable to flip between tabs or scroll the finished panes while DK, Guido or others churn. DT and the Times are resource hogs, but that does not excuse the behaviour. I suspect that on a dual core this does not happen for one core might get hijacked leaving the other core free, but again not good enough!

"When I am compelled to switch on my Windows computer, the first thing it does is check with the Redmond mothership for instructions......"

Then switch off auto update. Why did you turn it on in the first place? As you say, it's a pain.

As for browsers themselves, there's not too much difference on the PC at least. Firefox is my favourite, but it can get a little slow when you have 20 odd tabs all auto updating (currency trading). Safari is a little unstable at times, but otherwise OK - has nothing to beat Firefox though. IE handles mass tabs the best, but is worse in most other regards to the other two.

Ian B said...

1) Uninstall McAffee.

2) Attach a big sign to the top of your computer with the words "Do Not Open File Attachments That Say 'I Love You' On Them".

3) Attach another sign saying "If A Box Pops Up Saying 'Do You Want To Install Free PC Optimiser On Your Computer', Click 'No'".

4) Problem Solved.

Mr Eugenides said...

I would say that this post is all Greek to me; but in point of fact, if it were in Greek I would understand substantially more of it.

That said, even I have spotted that Firefox is far superior to Internet Explorer. I'm certainly not going back to that in a hurry.

Jon said...

Anon. & Ian B, thanks for the tips. I am decidedly non-technical but will find how to switch off those pesky auto-updates right away (I didn't even know you could). Also I am getting increasingly desperate emails from McAfee asking me to renew my sub. before time -- seems they are short of liquid cash. When March comes I shall let the thing lapse.

Opera is great

"When I am compelled to switch on my Windows computer, the first thing it does is check with the Redmond mothership for instructions, no doubt transmitting at the same time microscopic bits of my snot, dandruff, etc., for DNA analysis."

As anon has already pointed out, Dennis, you can disable all this crap. Not sure about Vista, but you can google the relevant instructions easily enough. I'm still running an XP SP1 installation which I set up four years ago (and which has even survived direct transfer to a brand new PC recently with minimal disruption).

I agree, though: a modern Mac wipes the floor with Windoze in many respects (ease of use and maintainability especially). For a regular home user, or for professional graphic design or open-source web development, I'd recommend it every time.

However, the shortcomings of the Mac platform are sharply exposed when it comes to the needs of business, in which Microsoft - despite its infuriating megalomania, licencing paranoia, and general incompetence when it comes to operating system and browser architecture - still manages sustain a critical lead.

IMO, Apple dropped the ball back in the mid-1990s: if the technical brilliance of the Nextstep OS - the eventual foundation of MacOS X - had been picked up by Apple Corp a few years sooner, then the face of popular personal computing might well look very different today. As it is, Microsoft stole a march in the development of killer, platform-specific software such as Access and SQL Server, just as it did in the arena of development tools (Visual Basic and its successors).

@Roger Thornhill: Agreed. I was only trying to point out that the problems, frustrating as they might be (and, believe me, Firefox has driven me to despair on occasion) are resolvable, with a little research. I don't know enough about Firefox architecture to say whether the browser itself is even to blame for these; but I believe that, for anything much more than basic tabbed browsing, it offers unrivalled power and flexibility. Once you get hooked on the features offered by some of the 3rd party extensions, there is simply nothing else to compare with it (not on Windows, at least). If you are prepared to put in a few hours' maintenance occasionally, it will pay you back in spades. And you can't complain about the price, can you?

@Dennis: For an effective Windows anti-virus solution, try Avast. I've been using the free version (in conjunction with Spybot, also free) without incident for over three years now.

Roger Thornhill said...

DD- you are not wrong and thanks for your tips.

Jon said...

DD - seconded!

DK - "Besides, I am also a designer and I say that things should look good"

Of course you do, twatting about with websites is what you get paid for. I'd hardly expect you to call for them to be simpler.

Can you actually do anything useful ?
I mean if there was a flu pandemic and martial law was declared, what skills could you bring to the party ?
Can you shoot a weapon ?( a real one, not Playstation 3 )
Can you repair a generator, hotwire a car or do basic medicine ?
Can you ride a horse, hunt or grow food ?

Of course you fucking can't, just like the rest of your middle class urban Libertarian mates.

You cast yourselves as self reliant but as far as I can see the only skills you people have in common is knowing a lot about Apple Macs and building websites.

When Ragnorak happens don't think you'll be looked after by my kind, if the only skill you have is syncing an RSS feed by Bluetooth to an Ipod ( or whatever the fuck it is you people do )
You'll be food, or slaves.

Word verification - deads :)

Jon said...

Anonymous, 6.56. You would do well to confine yourself to subjects about which you know something. I cannot speak for the others (whom you assume to be middle-class, urban Libertarians), but I live deep in the countryside, have grown food for me and my family since 1974, own and am a passable shot with a rifle, do all my own house repairs, etc., etc. - a list too tedious to enumerate; yet I somehow manage all this without a tinfoil hat or adherence to belief in Viking mythology.

Rather than waste your time in insulting strangers who witter harmlessly on blogs, I suggest you move to Montana, buy a camouflage suit, generator, machine guns and whatnot and hole up in the hills with all the other dimwits there.

Devil's Kitchen said...

Quite so, Dennis.

However, Anon, come the modern-day Armageddon, I can indeed ride a horse and fire a rifle. I also have a pretty good grounding in animal husbandry (and botany).

I have a more than basic knowledge of medicine, an excellent knowledge of disease vectors and methods of disease prevention, as well as a fairly comprehensive knowledge of synthetic and natural remedies.

I can also give an injection without inducing anaphylactic shock.

Since, come the reckoning, oil will swiftly be in short supply, I'm afraid that I shall leave the car hotwiring and generator-repair to your good self.

Why on earth you should assume that I am "urban" just because I choose to live in a city, I have no idea.

Ian B said...

Because the main attraction of survivalism to a certain type of survivalist is lurid power fantasies revolving around abandoning the effete urbanites to their fate, while shouting, "You laughed at me! Well who's laughing NOW? Huh? HUH?"

When Missouri parents divorce, they often find themselves at odds over issues relating to child custody. Parenting time, access and visitation are some of the most emotionally charged issues in a divorce, and it is often difficult to come to terms with the final order. Hard feelings and conflict can continue well after the process is final.

Custody is not an easy issue to navigate, but that does not mean it has to remain a source of significant stress in your life. In fact, it is possible for parents to get along for the sake of the children and co-parent peacefully, even if they do not necessarily like each other. It often takes dedication, maturity and a resolve to protect the needs of the children, but it is possible.

Things for co-parents to remember

If you and the other parent are working on a co-parenting custody agreement or you are already divorced and co-parenting, it is helpful to remember that this process does not magically get easier overnight. Over time, however, it can get better, and your kids can have a strong relationship with both biological parents. Committing to the following can help make your co-parenting relationship easier and more peaceful:

  • Resolve to be flexible and understand that things cannot always go your way.
  • Be supportive and kind, to both your children and your co-parent.
  • Keep your focus on being a strong and stable parent for your children.
  • Be open and supportive of step-parent efforts to be involved with your kids and make their lives better.

It’s not simple to co-parent, especially when one or both parents move on and step-parents enter the picture. It may take effort and time, but by keeping your focus on the best interests of the kids above all else, you can make your co-parenting arrangement much more productive.

Your parental rights

It is important to agree to a co-parenting agreement that shields your children from undue emotional harm and unnecessary upheaval. However, you also have the right to pursue terms that protect your parental rights. It can be hard to find a good balance between these things, which is why it may be helpful to seek guidance from an experienced family law attorney.

Before you agree to a parenting plan or custody agreement, you may want to take steps to fully understand your rights and options. Being prepared can help you secure a parenting arrangement that will benefit and protect your family for years to come.
