Church coffee redemption: Remembering Jackson Boyett
FEBRUARY 2014 UPDATE: The driver whose car hit the Boyetts, Terri Elmore, has been found guilty of intoxication manslaughter and sentenced to eight years in prison.
For all their good works, churches are more like gas stations when it comes to coffee. Church coffee is a little taste of hell, God's reminder to be good or this is what awaits you on that eternal coffee break.
So when Jackson Boyett offered me coffee at Dayspring Fellowship this summer, I politely declined. I was there at Dayspring to help my boss, John Jackson of Renaissance Systems, fix something in the soundsystem. My job was to call 911 in case he electrocuted himself. In the absence of sparks, I was tending to the daily care and feeding of my new website, FedManWalking.com. I had work to do.
But Jackson Boyett wouldn't be denied. As Dayspring's pastor, he was obliged to play host, especially for friends volunteering their time to help his church. "I make it a cup at a time," he said. "Alfred's Blend." He made his coffee exactly like I make mine at home, by pouring hot water through a cone filter that sits on top of the cup, using the same blend of Anderson's Coffee, one cup at a time. And so it was that I drank my first good cup of church coffee. And so it was that I made a connection with Jackson I figured would last a lifetime.
That connection was taken away Nov. 29, when Jackson and his wife, Barbara, were killed in a car accident on U.S. 290. I'll never get to hear him preach a sermon in person, nor have another cup of coffee with him while we talk about the differences between Catholicism and Calvinism. I'll have to settle for an online collection of his sermons from Dayspring's website. His church and friends will celebrate his and Barbara's lives Tuesday (Dec. 6) at 10 a.m. with a funeral at High Pointe Baptist Church at 12030 Dessau Road.
Church people develop networks. Like a restaurant where chefs eat when they're not on duty, Dayspring Fellowship at 5500 Ave. G is a church where people from other churches go for Easter and Christmas, to worship on a smaller and more personal scale. Jackson's style was straightforward Bible-based delivery, punctuated by his own guitar and help from a pianist. He didn't even like to have his voice amplified. He resisted at first, but settled for his natural voice being projected from speakers for his small congregation, which includes people who drive from Dripping Springs and Bastrop and other points that might seem unlikely for a church in the city. But Dayspring seems like it was lifted straight from the country, humble by megachurch standards.
Humble is an understatement. The folding chairs in Dayspring's community room/kitchen/reading room are among the earth's most uncomfortable, a truth I discovered while sitting through a gathering of the Northfield Neighborhood Association that uses the church for its meetings. I saw Jackson for the last time on Nov. 21 for one of those meetings, one that outgrew the community room and moved to the sanctuary. I think this delighted Jackson on some level, to have this decidedly secular group in the pews.
He had a twinkle about him, like those old Coca-Cola Santa Claus paintings. It was a kindness that extended even to the news of that night: That a thief had stolen the copper out of two of the church's three AC units. The units were replaced, only to be hit again before a security fence could be built. He wondered aloud how bad things must be in a person's life to risk so much for a few hundred dollars' worth of copper.
These are the memories I take away of Jackson Boyett. That he gave me a book from the church's library called "The Five Points of Calvinism." That he had played "Mary Did You Know" on his guitar, and I couldn't believe it, because I had a video on my laptop of my daughter singing that song, and he praised her voice and stage presence. That everything I knew about this beloved man had started with the simple community of a cup of coffee.

Family roles have changed a lot over the years and there are more stay-at-home dads now than ever. Since some people still think child-rearing is the woman's job, these dads are justifiably worried about the outcome of a divorce because it may limit how often they see the kids.
We have handled hundreds of divorce cases on behalf of fathers, and we will work diligently to ensure that you receive equal treatment and consideration in your case.
A common tactic is for your wife to threaten you by saying you will never see the kids again. This is almost never true, it's just fighting dirty. Instead of using the children as pawns in the divorce, contact an experienced divorce attorney to represent you and defend your rights.
Child Custody – You have as much right to physical custody of your children as your wife does. We can help you fight for your rights. If you are not sure which type of custody is best then we can advise you on the differences between full custody, joint custody and visitation only.
Child Support – You should talk with us before agreeing to any payment plans even if you think it's a good idea. It is very easy to get taken advantage of when you are trying to give your kids the support they need. We can make sure that any support plan you agree to is fair for all parties.
If you would like to discuss details or if you have any questions, send us an email or call us at 770-641-8200.

Internet Explorer Team Blog
A New IE Add-on Site
ieblog April 25, 2006 100
Hi, I'm Tina Duff one of the IE Program Managers focused on improving the customer experience around IE - including the IE add-on web site. It sounds simple, but this means ensuring that wherever IE is talked about on Microsoft.com, it's technically correct, easy to navigate, and provides the information customers want. We quickly realized that we should do a better job making all the great add-ons to IE that developers have created easier to find and download. Thus the new IE add-on site was born…
We're excited to announce our new site at www.ieaddons.com. The site has two objectives: to make it easier for users to find valuable add-ons and to promote our partners who develop add-ons. On the new site we partnered with CNET to compile an extensive list of add-ons that make browsing with IE more productive, fun and safe. At the same time, we've worked to streamline the search and download process, added web feeds for the most popular and newest add-ons, and included editorial and user reviews to provide as much feedback to you as possible before you install an add-on. Customers can access the add-on site from the "Tools" menu and from the "Manage Add-ons" interface.
Products on the site either work directly with Internet Explorer 6 or 7, or use the IE platform, and have to meet the CNET Software Submission Requirements and Adware and Spyware Policy before being posted. We also welcome users, editors and industry specialists to write and post reviews for each add-on, and report problem software.
If you're a developer it's really easy to submit your Add-on, just follow the instructions below:
How to Submit an Add-on
You can have your add-on included by submitting it through the Internet Explorer Add-on site and you no longer have to be a member of the Microsoft Partner program to be included. You'll also have the ability to get feedback from users that you can use to gain insight on what is working and what can be improved with your product. Here is the information you need to submit your add-on for review.
Learn more about the options available for listing your package. Read the Product Information Requirements, Software Submission Requirements and Adware and Spyware Policy for information on the types of products that are eligible for inclusion on the IE Add-on site.
Go to http://ieaddons.upload.com to begin the submission process. If you already have an account with upload.com you can log in with that information.
We think the add-on site is pretty cool whether you're a user or a developer - it's a lot easier to use. Let us know what you think and which add-ons you think are priceless.
- Tina

My only suggestion is that there should be some clear way to filter the add-ons by their price. One of the great things about going to the list of firefox extensions is that they're all free and you can use them.
It would be useful to have a similar list for IE – i think it would help drive the adoption of the add-on model by us more tech-savvy folks.
David Carrington says:
The menus that don't work without JavaScript are a nice touch.
BlakeHandler says:
So MSIE "Add-ins" are now called "Add-ons" ???
Mr. Wilson says:
That is a really, really poorly designed website. What's with all of the unnecessary JavaScript? What's with pretending the page is constructed using XHTML, when it is clearly not? What's with… well, I could continue, but I suspect you don't care. If you did, you wouldn't have presented the website to the world as though it were something to be proud of.
maroy says:
Is there any new documentation related to creating add-ons for IE7? I am looking for a programming interface that will let me enumerate/interact with the browser tabs.
On the advanced search you can select the license type:
http://www.ieaddons.com/Search.aspx
There you can select for searches on only freeware or shareware licenses
Jeff Parker says:
I am pretty much with maroy. You know what would be nice is an IE add in blog and some just basic begining samples, maybe something in the coding for fun dev center. Kind of like the Vsip blogs.
The IE Add in documentation is something that can really be improved upon in MSDN it is sketchy at best. Maybe a .net SDK or something for IE and IE only. For example some of the browser commands and hooking in especially with .net. The web browser control in .net is useful and you can drop it into a windows app and go through the DOM and so on but it would be much better to just add your add-on to IE itself.
The feeds api seems to be great and well designed documented and examples of using it but I submitted bugs back in beta of the 2.0 framework about things not working. Come to find out IE would swallow exceptions and so on as well. There is no documentation of this and I had to talk this through with the MS person handling the bug before I would drop it and let the bug be closed. Now don't get me wrong there is great documentation on how IE renders and html and heck even more obscure development like in SMILE for IE, but add in development itself seems to be really lacking. For example if I wanted to create my own toolbar. I end up searching all through the web looking all over and piecing together stuff. I know there is an SDK for IE, but it is stuck way down deep in the Platform SDK's or at least that is the only place I have been able to find it. When you want to make something for IE and IE only to improve how you surf the web who wants to dig through the entire platform SDK heck that is 398 megs compressed. We all know IE is integrated into the OS but can't you create a different SDK just for IE and actually developing for it.
There is docs here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/ext/extensions.asp but again this is quite a lot of hoops we have to jump through to try to create an addin in C# since there is no documentation or example of it I can find. I mean now we are making our .net code com compliant and have to roll up our own interfaces. Not only that we have to register them in the registry. There just has to be easier ways.
Clearly what is lacking is the information on how to build the extentions. Amazing so many are build anyways with that little documentation available.
This seems to be the main link for add-ons documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/ext/extensions.asp
However a tutorial and an example add-on would definitly be a big big enhancement to such an add-ons site.
Oh yeah, and if you are wondering why I want this ability. Easy enough I want to make a pretty robust cookie manager. I want to know what sites are writing and reading what cookies and so on. Something IE doesn't have and not something I am just going to go download somewhere or pay money for easy enough to build myself. I can do this using the webbrowser control and sticking IE in my app, but then I have to recreate everything else IE does.
FusionGuy says:
Unfortunately, the vast majority are not free.
Simon Jesseu says:
"We think the add-on site is pretty cool whether you're a user or a developer."
The new site doesn't validate, which is really not very reassuring. And it's not as if XHTML 1.0 Transitional is a very difficult standard to validate against, is it? Are all those tables in the markup absolutely necessary? And why do you need all that JavaScript?
Does any of that fancy media stuff work without me having to click a stupid button on an alert box?
Hi, IE7 team,
I am new to this blog, so I don't know if I have posted in the right place, but perhaps you could help me anyway.
I had downloaded the IE7 beta and really did like it, but when I tried to edit webpages using MSFrontPage 2003, FrontPage would open but not load the page (it does open web pages and HTML files, but does not allow FP as the web editor, even though there is an Edit with MSFP option. I kept getting a Windows box that said, 'FrontPage has encountered an error and needs to close. Sorry for the incovenience.' Yes, its a genuine copy of MSFP, but I installed it separately from my Office 2003 Student and Teacher Edition. Not loading MSFP 2003 in IE7 (for editing) is problematic for me because I am developing a survey for online distribution and am using FP (as part of a doctoral dissertation). Any suggestions to fix this error? I had to remove IE7 and reboot to restore IE6. This problem never occurred in IE6, and did not occur after IE6 was restored. Not using IE7 is a shame because I really did like it and hope to upgrade to Vista when its released commercially, but will the new Vista web technology (I know FP is going away in Office 12) be able to open and edit old FP files.
Alex Lein says:
Wow. I'm not sure who coded the add-ons site, but wow. I have only once been speechless at HTML, and that was cause by NetObjects Fusion many years ago.
It's like the author knows of modern coding practices, yet chose some kind of odd hybrid of new-school and old-school and hackery! Divs that conatin Tables that contain empty Divs mimicking the Anchor tag? Amazing… but pretty! 🙂
I wonder why fiddler and the developer toolbar didn't make the add-on list???
Dave P says:
It's really quite discouraging that it doesn't seem that a single person at microsoft has the ability or knowledege ('cause really, it isn't that hard) to code a valid, standards based, non-table layout site.
Hell, a simple peek over at a list apart would sort out those javascript-laden tab menu.
If you guys are looking for people, there are a lot of people who would be willing to help out, including myself.
Is it just me, or are a lot of the "addons" actually separate programs that merely use the WebBrowser control?
Tabs don't appear on this version! in previous beta worked tabs worked fine. Such a huge company with thousands of great programmers can't make a simple web browser work ok? there's to many bugs, including rendering problems.
Xepol says:
I can't even begin to describe how hard it is to write IE addons. Firefox clearly doesn't have this problem as everyone and their dog have written plugins.
I've said before that IE needs clear, simple dotNet based surfaces we can code against. FireFox also has Javascript plugins, and that's got to be a must also.
IE's plugins have languished because they are so hard to code for. Just look at the files presented. Download managers, which run OUTSIDE of IE, activeX components that have run inside of IE since forever.
MS makes it too damn hard for just anyone to write a plugin. Just getting a toolbar can be a major episode, seriously language bound to C++ requiring you support numerous, poorly documented interfaces.
We need better,simpler APIs to code against. It is great that there is so much power available, but the simpliest example of a button labeled hello world requires that we know and exploit ALL of that power. The curve is much MUCH too steep.
I would love to code a replacement for the quicklinks toolbar, because it doesn't work the way I want, but I'm a delphi programmer. There are NO succesful delphi examples (the one attempt at a generic framework for delphi results in total hell!)
No no, no, a THOUSAND TIMES no, this should NOT be the problem it is. Simplify, simplify, simplify.
And PLEASE improve the system so that when developing you don't have to reboot or crash your whole damn shell over and over and over just to test and recompile. Plugins should be flushed the pico-second they are turned off.
I can't imagine how you got to this point? Imagine having to continually restart word or visual studio every time you tweaked a script! MS has the skills, it needs to be applied.
Let us write dotNet assemblies, let us write javascript/vb script plugins, reduce the language barriers, and DOCUMENT the interfaces properly.
Not everything requires the complexity of a rocket launch.
Look at the plugins for Firefox, see what real plugins can do.
PLEASE!!!!
Until then, the ie add on site will just be a repository of antique software without any real new innovation (I would be suprise if you get ANY submissions for plugins written recently)
Nidonocu says:
Echoing Jeff Parker and Xepol here, downloading IE7 and seeing the Add-ons function and website I thought. 'Oh, I've been learning C#, maybe I can have a go at writing a Hello IE extension and build from there. Maybe make some nice tweaks or build a little add-in to interact with my own application in development. Heh.. no, the documentation in some places don't look like its been updated since IE5. I hope the API and documentation team get a kick in the rear to improve stuff for both .net and Javascript programmers or else we won't see any of the best extentions on Firefox ever ported to IE.
Applogies for spelling, my Google Toolbar for IE7 isn't working correctly right now. 😐
Gabriel Lozano-Morán - The .NET Aficionado says:
Tina Duff, one of&nbsp;the Internet Explorer Program Managers has announced on the IEBlog the new website…
veen says:
This is great news. Under the developer section I would like to see links to an example add-on as well, or getting started on creating an add-on as well. I think there isn't much around being able to create an add-on – specifically using C# or VB.NET would be useful…
Interesting that the IE team is trying their "best" to upgrade support for CSS yet for some reason you still don't know the right way to change cursors.
Let me tell you something, the value "hand" is not part of the CSS spec, so do not use it!
krisdb says:
Why the hell would anyone pay for IE "add-ons" when you can get Firefox with free extensions, which do the same thing? Then again, anyone dumb enough to use IE would be dumb enough to pay for extensions. More proof Microsoft is clueless when it comes to the Internet.
EricLaw [MSFT] says:
Hi, all. I'm happy to see the feedback on the Add-ons site, and I'm excited that maybe we'll see some new ones from you folks as well.
Before I joined the IE team, I used to write plugins for IE, and I'm very aware of how challenging it can be. I wrote a few pretty popular addons over the years: http://www.bayden.com/popper was the most popular, with around a million total users worldwide. It was written in Delphi, which was my development language of choice at the time.
Last week, I wrote a BHO for IE in C++ and while it's definitely not trivial, I'm not really a C++ programmer at heart.
There are ~tons~ of ways to extend IE in powerful ways that don't require C++ or even COM. I blogged about some of them back in September: see http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/09/06/461675.aspx for more information.
My recent non-C++ are the IEToys (http://www.bayden.com/ietoys) a trivial collection of Javascript powerups, and a C# toolbar built using the cool .NET Band Objects sample code I linked in the blog above. Writing toolbars in C# is super-easy, and I was able to build my toolbar with MUCH less effort than my Delphi work in years past.
Now, with all of that said, we obviously have a ways to go. Tons of plugins have been built over the years. We never had a central place to advertise them, so there are lots of duplicated/half-hearted efforts out there from many folks who built something not because they wanted to, but because they didn't know of any good alternatives. For instance, there are literally ~dozens~ of popup blockers of varying quality out there for IE6.
Our documentation hasn't kept up with the times, so most of the examples out there are a few years old. We definitely need newer examples, and we've been pretty open to linking to great examples from the community (for instance, the Mouse Gestures plugin is a great example for ATL, and the Band Objects example is a great .NET sample).
Beyond that, we know we need to come up with a simpler programming model for plugins. For the next versions of IE, we're very interested in your feedback on this: What is your ideal development experience? What's the right balance between security, simplicity and power?
@Jim: Fiddler and the Developer toolbar will be listed on the Add-ons site shortly.
@Maroy: I'm afraid that tabs are not exposed to extensibility in the IE7 release. In IE7, each tab gets its own set of toolbars/bhos, in order to support the legacy bhos and toolbars that never expected to be running in a tabbed browser. For a future release, it would make sense to offer interfaces to the tabsets and to permit toolbars or BHOs that are only loaded once per IE instance instead of once per tab.
@FusionGuy: "Unfortunately, the vast majority are not free."
Until relatively recently, Upload.com charged a monthly fee to list software, and hence many freeware authors (myself included) chose not to publish all of our work there. Now, there's no charge to get a listing at IEAddons.com, so I expect we'll see quite a lot of freeware listed there shortly.
Eric -> It might be interesting to see a move between Firefox and IE to create a standardized interface for some plugins.
A toolbar can easily be HTML+javascript based if it is considered to be in the local zone. Of course, it would be nice for that to be reusable OS component for others as well -> probably wishful thinking there.
At a bare minimum, IE should be able to load dotNet assemblies with project wizards (toolbars, sidebars, toolbarbuttons etc etc) for VS, including the express version making it possible for anyone to develop them.
Honestly, a toolbar button should be as easy as a button image, a button label and an execution target (javascript: / vbscript, or a native EXE for simple tasks, or a dotNet assembly with access to the DOM of the document). Toolbars and sidebars might point to an HTML document to be rendered with an object reference back to the main object.
And all this without needing to be a rocket scientist.

@Xepol: "Honestly, a toolbar button should be as easy as a button image, a button label and an execution target (javascript: / vbscript, or a native EXE for simple tasks"
Toolbar buttons and menu items really are that simple– just set a few registry keys. See my prior blog post for details. You can build more complicated COM stuff if you want, but you don't have to.
I agree that some native wizards for VS2005 would be pretty neat. Let me ask around.
Riva says:
Having software listed that in no way relates to IE significantly degrades the intent of the site.
Please don't pollute the meaning of add-on as it applies to IE (BHO, menu or toolbar extension, etc) any further and do sift through all the current entries and eliminate listings that are external software rather than an add-on.
For instance, I fail to see how a third-party application that hosts the WebBrowser control qualifies as an IE add-on.

commenter says:
I only really want to use IE to access the windows live mail site, since the Firefox version of the site lacks all the groovy functionality. However it's unusable in IE because of the epilepsy-inducing ads that festoon the page. I also use the sharpreader RSS reader and would like it if the hosted IE control supported ad-blocking.
I tried using one ad-blocking product for IE (trial version – you need to give them money to use it – weird!), but unfortunately this killed the live.com website. Anyway, why would I pay money for functionality I get free in firefox, to view a single website?
I've posted to this blog in the past begging for a better .NET-based extensibility framework for IE that would allow it to approach Firefox functionality through ease of development of add-ins.
I hereby give up. Firefox it is. 🙂
Viktor Krammer says:
One of the success factors of Mozilla is the existence of a centralized extension Web site which makes it really easy to find, download and update browser add-ons. I am glad that the IE team is committed to offer something similar now.
I am looking forward to list my own extension on the site soon, but I miss two important categories right now:
1 Ad Blockers (either in Security or Time Savers)
2 Search Tools (in Time Savers)
I am not sure whether it is possible, but listing one add-on in multiple categories would also help a lot.
I have noticed that since IE6 xpsp2 there is a Update button in the Manage Add-ons dialog. I am wondering how this Update mechanism is used from a developer's point of view. Can you point us to some information regarding the Manage Add-ons dialog, please. Also an easy (and free) way to digitally sign extensions would be fine.

Bert says:
I really like the idea of this site, but my idea of add-on is a small application that adds extra functionality to IE.
Many of the tools on this website do not seem to do this. For example, Spybot is a great program and helps to add security to IE but I wouldn't call it an add-on.
Perhaps make this site just for the smaller apps that add functionality rather than full blown programs?

ieblog says:
Zcorpan,
You ask:
"Al Billings, I would like to ask why some bugs that won't be fixed in IE7 (but should be fixed for future releases) are closed as 'By Design' or 'Won't Fix' and not 'Postponed?' For instance, I would like #54129 and #54364 (both spec violations) to be fixed in a future release (like IE8)."
Well, as I already said, Windows does not used the "Postponed" resolution. It does not exist for us so it is not an option on the table.
If the spec issue is a spec feature that we, *as IE7 is designed*, do not support, then it is "By Design", as I said before. There are also issues that are "Won't Fix" because it is a bug, even in the current implementation.
Now, that being said, there are some that have gone back and forth in resolution because people have gotten annoyed about the resolution and wanted to make an issue out of it but I am describing the ideal here. Occasionally, when triaging hundreds of bugs, I do make mistakes in the final resolution.
What it comes down to it is that if you log a bug on something that IE7 doesn't support, has never supported, and we didn't write code to support, the resolution of it will be "By Design" because the way the area is functioning is the way it is supposed to function in IE7. If your favorite CSS feature has never been implemented, then logging a bug on it will generally get "By Design" as a resolution. Occasionally, it gets a "Won't Fix" and I've changed resolutions before rather than have a 20 comment back and forth with people.
Trust me when I say that CSS issues reported, regardless of resolution, will be seen by our CSS people like Markus. That being said, not every "bug" is really an actual bug in our code but an unimplemented feature.

PatriotB says:
"It might be interesting to see a move between Firefox and IE to create a standardized interface for some plugins."
There's nothing stopping Firefox from "reading the contract from the other side" (as Raymond Chen has blogged about at http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/12/26/45979.aspx), in order to implement the same extensibilty mechanisms as IE. Though I don't expect they'd choose to do that.
Fduch says:
I want some Add-on for IE7 to be able to save webpages to my hard drive so that I can look them later.
I see this working in other browsers like Maxthon (plugin) and Opera.
I think it would be great if someone wrote such add-on for IE7.
If you need money, a have some.
"Please consider that Microsoft is a small cash-starved company, so they might not have the resources to create a properly coded web site."
Also consider that the IE team isn't the one designing or coding this web site. We already know that they have partnered with CNET for the actual content (the addon database)… maybe CNET is the ones creating the site as well? Or maybe some other web design company? If nothing else it's some web development group in MS that probably works on their countless other web sites, and complaining on this blog isn't going to accomplish anything.
Molly C says:
Fduch, IE has had the ability to save web pages for years, either has "Web Page, complete", which results in an html file plus a folder containing the items that appeared in the page (pics, css, etc); or "Web Page Archive, single file", which results in a single .mht file containing everything that was displayed in the page.
Mercutio says:
Wow, I never knew that there were so many people that the first thing that they do when visititing a new web page is run it through a validator, critique the source code, etc. Pretty sad, that.
Molly C, I tried this and it kept saying "Can't save this page".

It's readily apparent that most of the people that respond to these IE blog posts are very, very marginal, very average web developers (and I use the word "developers" very liberally here).

>Why exactly would I pay $20+ for 'add-ons' to Internet Explorer to give it basic functions (like ad blocking) that I can get FOR FREE with Firefox?
There are many free add-ons for IE (like mine), but not all are listed in the ieaddons page. As mentioned earlier, the site lacks a category for ad blockers. No wonder, you did not find any 😉
>[quote]As the site seems to be made by CNET the categories seem copied from de CNET downloads site downloads.com[/quote]
Apparently, they forgot to copy one category (where also my plug-in is listed):
Utilities & Drivers > Tools & Utilities > Search Tools
(http://www.download.com/Search-Tools/3150-2379_4-0.html?tag=dir)
@ieaddons.com team
Currently, I do not fully understand how the CNET categories are mapped to the ieaddons.com categories.
On CNET IE add-ons are spread accross various categories. Some examples:
1 Utilities & Drivers > Tools & Utilities > Search Tools
2 Security > Pop-Up Blockers
3 Browsers > Plug-ins
4 Browsers > Internet Explorer Add-ons
5 Developer Tools > ActiveX > Browser Enhancements
When I log in to my CNET account from the ieaddons.upload.com page, I only see the categories from CNET but no additional info regarding the new ieaddons page. That is quite confusing.
What kind of add-on site is that? It looked just like random programs that had an option for IE integration. Not what I call add-ons.
I cannot find anything on this problem so here goes:
With IE7 I cannot download any files, pdf's, .doc's, .exe. Everytime I try to download something it responds with : Internet Exploere is not able to find this site.
gerrard says:
meaningful categorization would be helpful, the first page of "developer tools" has no actual developer tools.
@ieaddons team
Tried out the new site.
Issue(s):
1.) I laughed real hard when I saw the correctly named "Bookmark Managers" section
2.) Many do not work in IE7 yet
3.) Many cost lots of $$, I did not see the Open Source filter option
4.) Could not find the "equals" to:
a.) AdBlock
b.) Colorzilla
c.) Web Dev Toolbar
d.) WeatherFox
e.) BugMeNot
f.) GMail Notifier
g.) Firefox View (although I have the Firefox one, so thats cool)
h.) Platypus
i.) Greasemonkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obviously a bit of a specific set, but as a developer, many of these are required.
Otherwise, I can't wait. It will be interesting to surf in IE again, it has been like wow, over 4 years now! yikes! Way to come back!
I needed a bit of time to adjust to the changes from Beta 2, but now I just LOVE it. The Quick Tabs now also work very fast. Keep working to the final build, faster and faster 🙂
@EricLaw
Good to see you guys are listening! Hope you see this too.
What I'd like to see in terms of .net support anyway is being able to interact with IE as though it was a web-browser control in my own application. Reading and writing in the DOM should be as simple as doing so with the XML Dom object in .net 2.0. That would allow all hell to break loose in terms of power.
For editing the 'chrome' as I believe its known. Supporting ToolStrip objects would be great but more so, letting buttons go in the -right- places.
If I make an add-on to the Favorites Center, can't I put the button in there or near the * and + buttons? If I extend tabs can I put the button in tabs or if I extend the address bar.. etc. Personally, I have the Links and Google bar viewed right now and 4 lines of toolbar is not nice on the screen retail when all I use Google for is spell checking and autofill.
Securitywise, maybe add-ons could request permissions for what functions they want to use. Eg, reading the DOM to display a phishing alert (eBay Toolbar style) would not be as dangerous as writing (GreaseMonkey). Also, file access could be limited to an Isolated Storage area by default and add-ons of course should run in the ultra low-rights mode. So similar again to ClickOnce application permissions, a little dialog like this for say IE version of FF's Adblock:
The add-on you want to install wants to be able to perform the following actions:
Add an icon to your status bar.
Modify how webpages are displayed.
Save preferences to a location on your hard drive.

Viktor said: "I have noticed that since IE6 xpsp2 there is a Update button in the Manage Add-ons dialog. I am wondering how this Update mechanism is used from a developer's point of view."
I believe that this button uses the same mechanism as going to C:WindowsDownloaded Program Files, right-clicking on a control and selecting Update. This has been around since IE4 I believe. It is based on "Internet Component Download" technology, documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/delivery/download/download_node_entry.asp?frame=true.
However, I'm not sure if this technology is on the way out with IE7/Vista; related features like Channels have been removed so I wouldn't be surprised to see this go too.
a pair of sample pages that IE7 can't save
http://doci.nnm.ru/zuga/26.04.2006/fotografii_zemli_iz_kosmosa
http://www.deforum.ru/forum/printview.php?t=46907&sid=67808c4ca7f9553a163fd617e6b86608
P.S. why does saving the page blocks everyting?
It shouldn't block even the tab with the page that is being saved. But now it blocks entire browser with all tabs. And if web page saving hungs (the progress bar is not moving for hours and the cancel button doesn't work) the entire browser with all tabs is dead. And that tab won't open when IE7 is started ater such incident. IE just forgets them.
P.P.S. How can we report IE7 hanging if it's not reprodusable?
coole site

I also had difficulties posting my previous reply. Dividing my reply into two parts helped at last.
Plovert says:
I didn't see anywhere else to list requests, so I'll post them here.
1. Add-ons that are incorporated into the browser. A downloader that started up when I wanted to download something and then closed itself would be great. Add-ons that have to run as separate processes are annoying, and if they're incorporated into ie7, perhaps when I upgrade ie, ie can look for upgrades for tha addons (like ff).
2. Make the browser more customizable and streamlined. If There is only one tab, don't show the tabs until a new one is shown. This eliminates an entire row from the top menu for 70% of my browsing time (as i'm only looking at one thing at a time).
3. Have options that let you SPECIFICALLY regulate what options come up when you right click the screen. I use right click to go back and forward, so if I have a huge window popping up when I right click, this can be annoying.
4. let me get rid of the search window imbedded in the top right corner of the window w/ google toolbar or msn toolbar. This would allow me to eliminate yet another row of options from the top menu.
Things I do like:
the f11 command. It lags the computer a little bit, but the fact that it eliminates all the top menus altogher is great. Let it show the toolbars I install, and it'd be perfect (google toolbar doesn't show up in f11 mode).
2. the favorites center is AWESOME. I love that the window doesn't push over the page I'm looking at. If it had a hot key, it'd be perfect.
3. allow 'open tab in background' as an option on right click.
4. more free add-ons
5. i love microsoft, and the software you guys put out is awesome. Thank you for all the sweat and blood you put into your programs. The love put into it shows when a program comes out looking as clean and neat as ie7 does.
@Plovert: Hit ALT+A to open the Favorites Center.
notanidiot says:
Hmm, its magic that microsoft sees the success of addons.mozilla.org and they decide to create something very simular. Also magic that they started developing IE again when they saw Firefox's success. There not developing the browser for the people, there developing the browser for money, and success of the company. The reason why there are now copyying everything mozilla corp does is because they feel if people start using multi-platform products, like firefox people will switch to non-microsoft platforms. I believe this is a very weak statigy, and think microsoft should be more inovative. Maybe i would change my mind is M$ made a browser for another os besides windows.
"there developing the browser for money, and success of the company"
I entirely agree, but this is a commercial business we're talking about here – it exists purely to make money.
Do you expect a company to exist purely to 'be for the people'?
Microsoft is a company – not an open source organisation.
Kim Siever says:
So, how do I navigate the site? When I go to click on what I assume to be the menu (tabs), there is no indication they are links (no change in cursor, no change in image), so those can';t be the menu.

You must be using Firefox. The hand indicators don't show up in firefox. It must be a browser thing.

At the people who consider the "markup validility" of a site and W3C's validator gospel as to whether a site is good or bad, _grow up_. You can still read it. It is not going to kill anyone if you use a table.
That out of the way, I agree with others here. No amount of marketing can really hide that IE's add-on ecosystem is floundering at best, and honestly has absolutely nothing on Firefox's extensiblity. Sure, there's some pretty good addons (Fiddler). But making addons with just JS and so on is that much better, because not everyone wants to get dirty with C++ or has the ability to. I understand that creating a safe, simple system like Firefox's isn't something you can just prop up with a couple of toothpicks, especially considering the way IE is, and it surely would be a BIG undertaking. But, hey, put it this way – once it's up, you'll have hordes of people making features for you at no cost to yourselves. Developers get to develop, users of IE get their features and you can focus on making headway with Javascript engine overhaul in later releases or whatever secret plans you guys have going. Everybody wins.
Make it nice and easy for developers to get stuff out on IE, and users of IE will soon benefit from the huge extension ecosystem it creates. People would reojice as they find that guy who made the obscure "Sudoku" extension for Firefox now also has an IE version.
On the other hand, IE could cling to the current system with just a bunch of arcane MSDN articles to help people for another two years. (Ugh).
These are just my opinons anyway. You know better than me what IE needs and doesn't need. Don't get me wrong, IE 7 is an absolutely GREAT leap in the right direction (I was a Firefox user before now), and I can only hope the guys at Microsoft who make these kind of decisions are able to recognise that if each release of IE showed progress like we've seen between 6 -> 7, then I'm confident those spreadfirefox.com guys are going to have their party rained on. Ballmer, THROW NO MORE!
Why doesn't Microsoft provide add-on sites for their extensible products under the web site that houses that same product instead of creating a new site from scrach each time? Your add-ons story is a mess: Some products eg. all Office products, Visual Studio, etc, do not even have a site listing all free add-ins but instead you have to either search through Google the web or look at Microsoft partner solutions which to me is like advertising and not helping users. In additions, those products that do have free add-ins sites like Windows Media Player and now Internet Explorer, do not offer these site under the main product site but instead they force you to search on the Web to find it. Why don't you offer a single universal add-ins site for all Microsoft products that are extensible or at least web pages that list free add-ins under the main pages for every Microsoft product that can be extended? If open source competitors like Eclipse, Firefox, etc, can get it, why not Microsoft? What is so difficult about it? It is so hard for you to figure this out?
The new IE is good enough for me to consider using it again. I'd like to be able to import bookmarks (and possibly other features) from Firefox, however.
krenzman says:
EricLaw states: "I'm afraid that tabs are not exposed to extensibility in the IE7 release." I simply can't believe this. Tabbed browsing was supposed to be one of the big new things with IE7, and it's not exposed???
I can't believe it… I still don't believe it. You've got to be kidding.. tell me you're kidding… …really.
krenzman: Exposing public APIs is definitely an undertaking. Not too huge (compared to the feature itself), but still something that takes effort.
There's only so much that MS can put into IE7 and still have a timely release. (Yes, I know that timely is a joke given the "pause" since IE6, but bear with me.) As with any software project, there are things that get cut in order to ship. This is just one of them.
I'd rather see them release IE7 now, and wait till the next version for tab programmability, and do it right. Remember, when you expose an API, it's exposed for life. Better they take a bit more time to get the programmability mechanism right.
Hello, well it might sound dumb, but can someone tell me how to create these add ons. I mean how to add my applications to IE7. Is there any api available or any classes available in VS.net (i code in C#)
I just went through the previous posts and go this links
If there is any other link do lemme know
btw IE7 is good but does it have any option to have IE6 look and feel??
I blogged about the best ways to extend IE, including using .NET. See the post here: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/09/06/461675.aspx

So hey we're gonna be going through the Landmark Phoenix today, it's a new floorplan we came out with in the fall, this thing is gonna be a hot selling floorplan.
You'll see a lot of the features as we go through, so, we'll start up front here: single fiberglass cap, this is all painted, a full-body painted unit. We triple clearcoat it, buff it out. The paint job, when we get around to the side you'll see it looks incredible but the front cap looks fantastic as well. This is a standard upgraded Mor-Ryde hitch on here, this is standard, so with your chucking and your swaying you get about a 1-1/2 to 2 inch play each way and it's a rubberized system.
Up under the gooseneck we do generator prep standard for a 5500-watt generator and then next to that we've got a battery compartment with 2 12volt batteries that are dedicated to the inverter to run the residential refrigerator. So, continuing on around here you've got nice lighting up underneath here. This is your Level-Up system so as you back your coach in here and you wanna get the truck off you can just drop the fronts down and you can level off with the 6-point hydraulic auto leveling system. There is solar prep up here under the gooseneck as well, right here, so you can get a portable panel from RVWholesalers and direct your solar reception that way. you've got 2 30lb LP tanks that will auto switch over; the compartment is big enough for 40s so if we build a unit for you at the factory we can put in 40s, it's a hidden option, or RVWholesalers can do that for you if they've got a unit here that you like they can upgrade those to 40pounders because the compartment is big enough.
So, massive, massive pass-through storage here on the Phoenix, but there's more storage that we're gonna see in a minute that you'll be excited about. Your auto-leveling system here, you've also got a panel inside the main entry for your auto-leveling. this is your universal docking station, so all of your connections all in one spot here. We do have a water filtration system on this coach as well, so regardless of where you go, what system you plug into, you're always gonna gave clean fresh water coming through here as well. so this is a 5 slide unit, all of your lower level slides, your bigger slides will be hydraulic as well, and then your upper levels, your smaller slides will either run on cabling or the geared system. So, as we continue back here, here's a big surprise.
Look at all of this storage, two doors on the side, these are slam-latch baggage doors, if you look at the thickness of these doors these are well insulated so you're not gonna get cold coming in through here, and again they are slam-latch all you gotta do is push em down it'll latch-up.
You can get kayaks and some things through the side here. You've got a 50 amp power service on here with a power cord retract reel, just hit the button it'll retract everything in by itself so you don't have to get all dirty and huffy and puffy because you're trying to pull that big power cord in. So, back-end storage as well this tray is standard, this tray will extend out, get all your good stuff in there, so imagine all of this storage and your front storage, you're not gonna be wanting for storage capabilities on this coach, you've got plenty of storage inside the coach as well.
[Kelly] Dustin said 'that's a lot of storage.' it sure is, and when you think about, a lot of times people take these down south or travel around for long periods of time and you can get all your goodies in there.
[Kelly] I think that's one of, kinda, the benefits of Landmark is you can stay in it for long periods of time and feel at home.
[Joe] Yeah this coach is built for full-time living, so even if you're full-timing in it there is a full 2 year warranty on this product. Most manufacturers when they hear full-time warranties go out the window; We build it for full-time living.
There's a 3 year structural on it as well and then you have all your components inside. So, look at the beautiful paint job on the outside; this is our black and copper, this is a new color for us this year, and again that's triple clear coated and buffed out. So up underneath we use a, we don't try to align with certain suppliers all the time, we don't use Lippert for everything we don't use Mor-Ryde or Patrick all the time; We try and use the best of the best.
So, up underneath here you've got a Dexter axle system with 8000-pound Dexter axles, you've got a Mor-Ryde upgraded suspension system. So you've got leaf springs, suspension system and 4 shocks all the way around. Nobody else in the industry really does the shocks as well. You've got a big 3-3/8inch Dexter drum brake as standard and then you can get disk on them if you'd like as well. Easy access to your spare tire. Double awnings are standard with the LED lights, so party away, do all your entertaining out here with the cover of your awning. You've also got frameless, dual-pane windows that are gonna be standard, so that'll help you with noise control and some of your insulation as well. Outside tv cabinet, we had actually moved this, it used to, last year we moved it you the storage compartment in a pull-out rack but we actually like this better and most of our customers do too so we moved this back to it's own compartment out here with this TV cabinet, that allowed us to change inside as well.
This is new and this is big, so don't be fooled by some of the imitators this is a zero gravity, I lifting this with one finger and letting it go. Mor-Ryde zero gravity step, this thing is nice and solid, you can make adjustments, these feet do adjust and you can extend them out if you're on an uneven terrain as well, so, this will fold right up inside your door-jamb compartment but there are others out there and Mor-Ryde makes one and so does Lipper, that you carry the entire weight the whole way up and the whole way down so don't be fooled just because you see a step like this that they're gonna be the zero gravity, so these things are really cool. One last thing up here, this is a welcome sign so out of this same metal material you can send a form in when you acquire a Landmark and there's a box that will get engraved with whatever you would like it to be engraved with: 'welcome to the Smiths', 'happy birthday', 'la la la', whatever you want on it; We'll engrave it, you plug it into the USB port, and it backlights it, it is a really cool feature and we're the only ones that do that in the industry right now. So let's climb aboard the Landmark Phoenix. Welcome to this beautiful, raised rear den, Phoenix living.
So you've got tons of counter space in the kitchen here, you've got a full farmer's sink with a steel takedown, with a cutting board on the backside of one of the covers. So you've got all this counter space for prep work, you've got counter space here, you've got counter space over here, you've got additional counter space on the stove side. Nice big Furrion oven this is a self-lighting oven, so no more getting down on your hands and knees trying to find where to light the thing back there. nice full size 3 burner cooktop and then a Furrion(microwave), so this is all Furrion, they make incredible products. So, I want to bring you over here to a lot of the brains of the system; We do a multiplex lighting, you generally only find this on a higher-end motorhome like a Tiffin of something like that. So all of your controls are here, you can start your generator, all of your tank levels are here as well. This is your energy management system which I forgot to tell you there are three air conditioners standard, all 15000 BTU air conditioners so the energy management system will allow you to run all 3 of those A/Cs at the same time and adjust for power fluctuations on this multiplex lighting system there are dimmer switched built in on all of the lights, so I'm just gonna hold down on the kitchen lights if you want to shoot up here and you can do that with any lighting in the entire coach. So there are five or 6 panels inside, usually strategically placed by the theater seats or the sofas of the bathroom or in the bedroom as well all of your slides are on individual mechanisms and switches, and then this is your inverter that we talked about.
So, tons of storage in here, check out this pantry, ladies are gonna love that, and the men too; so tons of pantry storage, you do have lots of storage underneath the island as well. Nice big 23 cube(ic foot) residential refrigerator, so this electric only, it will run off the batteries because we have the 1 12volt batteries out there so you can feel comfortable loading it up before your trip, taking it out it's still gonna run as long as you're docked on your truck, it's feeding the batteries, the inverter goes and feeds this. Again, all solid maple hardwood up here on your cabinets and your stiles, lots of storage up through here as well, and you've got more storage over here even. In your dinette area, this does seat 4, there's storage up underneath here, this extends out, drop it in, you've got two fold-up chairs that are cushioned just like these are, and after they're done eating you can send them on their way then, it's up to you, there is storage under the seats of these dinette chairs as well. So come on up to the raised rear den; What a comfortable living space isn't it? This is incredible.
You've got theater seats, opposing sofas here; these are all power, all the way around on these, so you've got massage and heat built in, these are your controls, or if you're using your cupholder you've still got the controls here, so, massage heat and power all built in on these. These sofas do fold out into full queen sleepers, any of out floorplans that have these opposing sofas on the side here will fold out into sleeping areas for grandkids, friends, anybody staying over. This is our high-rise coffee table; so I use this frequently, it is portable, you can move it around, but it's another eating area if you've got guests over or it can be a nice little workstation, put a wireless printer underneath, or if you just want to put pillows, blankets, whatever, and then this folds up. During transport you would put this over in the dinette, you've git tie-downs over there, stack the two chairs. Big 55-inch LED TV, you've got storage in behind this, so, keep some of your goodies hidden back here, soundbar included as well, and a 5100 BTU fireplace on this.
[Kelly] Looks like Joe's got a question here, 'what's the dry weight on this unit itself?' let me look that up real quick.
[Joe] Should be right around 15 thousand.
[Joe] 15694 on your dry weight. So your total GVWR on this is 18000, cause you've got 8000-pound axels underneath. Your pin weight, all the floorplans vary a little bit but they'll usually be around 3000 pounds when you drop them into the bed of your truck. Again lots of storage up here in this area but this is just a great area, this is going to be a fantastic, spectacular floorplan, nice separation from the kitchen to the living area here with your cabinets and your storage. So, let's head on back to the bedroom and bathroom area.
[Joe] Yeah so that's gotta be going about 6'4″ – 6'5″ then. And then out here in the main living you'll be taller than that. Because we utilize a straight-line roof outside if you noticed when we were out there you don't have a bump-up like a typical fifth wheel would it's a straight-line roof, gives it more of a residential feel and look; therefore we can get a little bit taller slide and a little bit taller height inside once we get inside the coach as well. Nice residential feel, you're living in luxury with this thing. So come on up. Nice big bathroom up here we talked about the multiplex lighting so you do have a panel here. Nice medicine cabinet for all of your toiletries; and then a stainless steel sink.
I'm gonna hop in the shower here, I'm a pretty big dude but I've got plenty of space up here, Kelly could get in here, not with me, but you could get in here. So you've got plenty of space in here, nice big shower. Foot flush on the toilet, and that is porcelain, not a plastic toilet. And now we're gonna head to the bedroom. So this tilted bed is all new this year, it's a Mor-Ryde system. Over here on the wall on your top switch, the two bottoms are for your overhead lights, and so that top switch will pull this bed away from the dressers and tilt the head at the same time, so we end up with a lot of nice space down here, nice reading position or watching your 40-inch LED TV in here in the bedroom as well.
You've got hard surface tops next to your beds so those are C-PAP approved, nice backlighting on the headboard as well. Check out these dressers, this is new on some of the floorplans, it just keeps going and going. 22 inch depth on these dressers, and these are all solid wood all the way around; So you've got a nice dresser system there and then this new swing, you can go on in there, that's a true walk-in closet. You've got a safe built in, a dyson cordless vac is standard. You've also got a cedar-lined storage area for sweaters or things along the back end there as well. Your two folding chairs for your dinette.to your right back here, just over your right shoulder is your washer-dryer prep as well. One last thing, underneath this bed even thought it does have that (Motorized leaning system) look at you've got two drawers, you've got nice depth on those as well for additional storage up underneath the bed. USB ports, you've got a couple usb ports over here, for all your phone charging, you've got plenty of usb ports out in the main living area as well. I think that's everyth – no, one thing I didn't talk about really is the backlighting the backsplash back here has been a huge hit for us as well, you've got the facial lighting and again, if you don't like it that bright, just use the multiplev lighting system, you can dim those things down. This is gonna be an incredible floorplan, get ahold of RVWholesalers today, Kelly, what's that number?
[Kelly] It's 877-877-4494, and tom just asked: 'what the price was' obviously that's very important, what I'll do is I'll check as soon as we get inside with our sale going on today and get you the best price available on that. I appreciate Joe stopping in today and kinda going through the coach with us. Today is obviously a day where we'll sell anywhere between 40 and 50 units so definitely give us a call, we'd love to earn your business and help you out.
And obviously even more important than that I mean the service that we offer after the sale and with our nationwide service network we're gonna be able to make sure you're taken care of. Obviously with the Landmark a lot of times, Joe hit on it a little bit, people want to go and do these full-time adventures and things like that.
It says something that they're willing to back up their product and say that, hey, they understand that these things can take 365 days of wear and tear and they're still gonna stand behind it, so yeah again, it's something that's a very nice coach, they think about all the storage spots and again the lighting and things like that. We appreciate you tuning in with us and if you come across any questions or things throughout the day on this particular unit just send them in and we'll be sure to answer them for you, and we'll get that price over to you Tom.
Appreciate you guys tuning in, appreciate you coming in and going through it with us, Joe. Again if you guy's have any questions we appreciate you sending them and we'll make sure we get those answered for you. Thanks a lot.
[Joe] Okay, thank you sir.

April is the Month of the Military Child - Hear from Shaquille O'Neal about his Military Childhood
In Shaq's Words
Military Kids Speak: Your stepfather was in the Army. Who else was in your family growing up?
Shaq: My mom, one brother and four sisters. I was in the middle.
Military Kids Speak: Where did you live growing up?
Shaq: We lived in New Jersey, Georgia, West Germany, and Texas.
Military Kids Speak: Which place was your favorite and why?
Shaq: Wildflecken, West Germany, was my favorite. I liked adapting to the German culture, especially the food. There was a place called "The Shack" that served bratwurst, bread, and French fries that were my favorite things to eat. I worked mowing lawns or doing whatever I could to get five dollars so I could go to "The Shack" and eat bratwurst, bread, and French fries.
Military Kids Speak: Was it easy making new friends when you moved to a new place? If yes, what did you do that made it go well?
Shaq: Yes. It was hard for me to leave my friends each time we moved. It would be easier to maintain friendships now with technology like Facebook. We used to write letters to each other. But two guys writing to each other wasn't cool, so that never lasted very long.
Military Kids Speak: How did you feel about the military lifestyle—deploying, relocating, making friends?
Shaq: It was fun. We got to move every four years. It prepared me for my professional basketball career.
Military Kids Speak: How do you think being a military kid built your character?
Shaq: It taught me discipline, honor, respect, and responsibility. It taught me how to deal with all kinds of people. I met my stepfather when I was two years old, and left home at age 18. Those were the most influential 16 years of my life. My stepfather raised me to be a man with a drill sergeant lifestyle. I am the military. I owe everything to my military upbringing. It made me the man and the athlete I am today.
Military Kids Speak: By what motto do you live that relates to or might inspire other military kids?
Shaq: Be leaders and not followers. Follow your dreams. Work hard. I practiced in the parks in Texas all the time, even in 110-degree temperatures and in the rain. I used to get dogged out by other kids for being so tall and not playing basketball well. I had a choice. I could have given up, but I chose to work harder. It built my character.
Military Kids Speak: What was the hardest challenge you had as a military kid and how did you handle it?
Shaq: I can't think of any big challenges. I got a job at McDonald's when I was young. My dad gave me the choice of babysitting for my younger brother and sisters or getting a job. Our mom had a job to help make ends meet. Even though I worked at McDonald's, I still helped take care of my brother and sisters, being responsible for them and protecting them from bullies. I helped with chores like cleaning the house and cutting the grass, too.
Military Kids Speak: What did you learn as a military child that helped you become a superstar athlete?
Shaq: I learned how to be humble. Here's a true story. When I was in high school, I was the first guy ever to get his name in the newspaper for a basketball game. I acted like I was God. Then, as I walked down the halls in school, everyone moved to the other side of the hall. When I sat down at a table to eat lunch, everyone moved away from me. I finally asked my friend what was going on. He said, "You're too good for us now. But just remember. You can't pass the ball to yourself, and you can't make those big plays alone."
Military Kids Speak: If you could tell military kids just one thing what would it be?
Shaq: Enjoy the experience. Take advantage of all of the opportunities you have being in a military family. Enjoy learning to deal with all kinds of people from every religion, race, and culture. All of the activities kept me out of trouble.

How can I really write any comments about Pride and Prejudice that haven't already been written? This is probably my third time reading it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The dialogue, and the story relies on its dialogue, is sparkling and fun. Elizabeth and Darcy are a wonderful couple and complement each other well.
This time around I actually chose to read it because my daughter is reading it for her English class and it's nice to be able to discuss the books she's reading at dinner or on car rides. I didn't read A Tale of Two Cities with her, and I only partly remembered Dracula, but I'm glad I joined her in this one.
Amber and I have talked about the story some. It's interesting, since she's looking at it from a different perspective. She's 17 and it's the first time she's read it. Neither of those things can be said of me. I think the thing that struck me most is how she sees Elizabeth Bennet as an early version of the typical YA heroine. She's strong, well-read, says what she thinks. She doesn't allow society to dictate her choices and behaviors. At the same time though, she's fun and more than willing to laugh at herself and others. And she still gets the perfect guy in the end. She is delightful, but even her flaws are positives.
Jane, as Amber sees it, is a little too perfect. Pretty, kind, always seeing the nice in everyone. Once again, her flaw is a positive too, always believing the best in everyone.
The other characters don't really rate much notice from Amber. Wickham's the bad guy, and Mr. Collins is rather stupid. She does have to write five essays, so I'm sure she actually does have to think more about the other characters, but we haven't really discussed them much.
They've been watching the 2005 movie with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. I haven't seen it, have you? Is it worth watching? All I've gotten out of her is that it's pretty true to the book and Bingley does not look like she thought he should.
Next up for Amber is The Great Gatsby. I haven't read it; should I?
Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Austen's use of biting irony, along with her realism and social commentary have earned her great and historical importance to critics and scholars.

Biografia
Originario della Florida, ha trascorso gran parte della sua infanzia a Chicago, in Illinois.

McKay ha frequentato la Southern Illinois University per poi conseguire la laurea presso il Columbia College di Chicago. Mentre studiava a Chicago, McKay ha assistito alle riprese cinematografiche della commedia del 1989 Io e zio Buck.

All'inizio della sua carriera McKay ha lavorato in diverse società di noleggio di video e attrezzature. Dopo aver acquistato attrezzature di produzione in proprio, ha lavorato per tre anni girando e montando video musicali e film locali. Poi ha iniziato a lavorare come montatore in una società di produzione dove ha completato il suo primo film 2wks, 1yr (in inglese 2 settimane, 1 anno; successivamente McKay ha lasciato la società e ha montato per la prima volta un film di un suo amico, intitolato Kwik Stop.

Nel 2004, McKay si è trasferito a Los Angeles ed è stato assunto come montatore presso lo studio di animazione ShadowMachine. La sua prima esperienza in tale azienda è stata per la serie televisiva Robot Chicken: McKay ha creato e doppiato la prima sequenza dei titoli di coda della serie.

Nel 2006, McKay ha iniziato a lavorare alla serie animata Moral Orel;  il cui creatore, Dino Stamatopoulos, gli ha permesso di dirigere più della metà degli episodidella seconda e della terza stagione. Il suo lavoro in Moral Orel ha impressionato Seth Green e Matthew Senreich (creatori di Robot Chicken), che gli hanno offerto la direzione della terza, quarta e quinta stagione della serie, andata in onda su Adult Swim.

Nel 2007, McKay ha lavorato come montatore e direttore degli effetti speciali nell'episodio speciale Robot Chicken intitolata Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episodio I, lavorando in seguito anche per gli episodi Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episodio II e Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episodio III.

Nel 2009, McKay ha co-prodotto e diretto la prima stagione della serie animata Titan Maximum su Cartoon Network.

Nel 2011, la Warner Bros. ha scelto McKay per unirsi ai registi Phil Lord e Christopher Miller per il film in live-action The LEGO Movie, che ha co-diretto e montato; il film è uscito in patria il 7 febbraio 2014 e ha incassato oltre $ 468 milioni a fronte di un budget dichiarato di appena 60 milioni di dollari. Visto l'enorme successo, nel marzo 2014, la Warner Bros. ha incaricato McKay di dirigere il sequel del film: Lord e Miller avrebbero assunto il suolo di produttori, mentre la sceneggiatura sarebbe stata affidata a Michelle Morgan e Jared Stern. Successivamente la Warner Bros. ha rinunciato a produrre il sequel, optando per la realizzazione di uno spin-off, intitolato LEGO Batman - Il film; il film è stato diretto da McKay ed è stato distribuito il 10 febbraio 2017.

Tra la fine del 2019 e l'inizio del 2020 McKay ha diretto per la prima volta un film non di animazione: è stato, infatti, regista del colossal La guerra di domani, prodotto dalla Paramount Pictures e da Skydance Media con un budget di 200 milioni di dollari.. La distribuzione del film è stata posticipata a causa della pandemia di COVID-19, ragion per cui la stessa è avvenuta a partire dal 2 luglio 2021 direttamente su Prime Video, che ha acquistato i diritti di distribuzione del film per 200 milioni di dollari.

◄ Joshua 5 ►
Expositor's Dictionary of Texts
And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
The Ceasing of the Manna
There was a deep doctrine in the giving of the manna. There was a doctrine not less deep in its withdrawal.
I. The ceasing of the manna should teach us that there is inevitable loss in all our gains. It was a great thing for Israel to gain the plains of Jericho, but when they had done so, they lost the bread of angels.
We talk sometimes about the gains of our losses, and it is true that we often gain by what we lose. But remember that if we gain by what we lose, it is also true that we lose by what we gain. And he alone is wise and brave and cheerful who recognizes that inevitable law, and presses forward, undaunted, to the best with the courage to forget what is behind. We gain the promised land and lose the manna. We gain experience and lose the morning dew.
II. The ceasing of the manna teaches us to be very cautious in asserting that anything is indispensable. If there was one thing graven upon the heart of Israel it was that without the manna they could not live at all. They had to learn their lesson from that failure that God fulfils Himself in many ways. The manna ceased, but the harvesting began.
III. The ceasing of the manna gave to Israel new views of the presence and providence of God. It taught them to see God in common things, and to realize His presence in the fields. The manna ceased—they were cast back on nature to find in nature the same care of God. And so they learned, what is so hard to learn, that providence had a wider reach than once they dreamed, and that the common field may be as full of heaven as the manna which is the bread of angels.
It is not very hard for any man to feel that God is near in the great hours. When there is nothing startling or arresting, what do you make of the providence of God? It is a great thing to see God in the miracle. It is a greater to see Him in the usual.
IV. There is one other lesson which I love to link with the ceasing of the manna. It is how God, as we advance in life, brings us back to the food of long ago. That was the path by which God led His people. He brought them back to the old, and it was new. That is the path by which God leads us all if we are in earnest to know and do His will.

The Armour of God
I. This ancient book of Joshua, while its simple purpose is to set forth the providence of God in one great episode of a nation's history, is yet by common consent of the succeeding generations of men looked on, not merely as an historical record of the conquest of Canaan, but as a continual allegory of Christian life. Such was the conception of life, based on individual and general experience, in the minds of those who, when the sign of Christ's cross was marked on our brow in baptism, pledged us thereby to a loyal soldiership in an unceasing warfare with evil. Such is the conception thrust upon us by the facts of life, which, as thought deepens and knowledge widens, confronts every son of God. Over against us there stands a man with his sword in his hand, unsheathed, drawn for the using, for offence, for action, for achievement. Over against us there lies a Jordan to be crossed, a Jericho to be assaulted, a Promised Land to be won, only in many an arduous campaign—our weapon the sword of the Spirit, our strength the strength of Him Who has girt that sword upon us, Whose abiding Presence in our life is our sole promise and hope of successful soldiership.
Gathering the whole teaching together, who can deny the undoubted call to leave the wilderness of wandering, unpurposeful life, of cold-hearted, listless stagnation, and cross the river of resolve, to the place of effort and the country of combat?
II. A man with a drawn sword—a weapon of offence for and with others. True, we need, and have given us, armour of defence as well; a shield of faith to guard us from our own fears and doubts and cares and sorrows, from the evil we see in nature and in man; a helmet of salvation—the hope which strengthens the weak-hearted, which guards the place where thought abides, and where plans of battle and of work are formed; a breastplate to protect the heart, where lie the issues of life, the treasures of pure passion, the loves, the sorrows—round these we are to bind the armour of righteous habit; and for the loins, where lies the strength of man, woven in and out in knitted muscle and sinew, there is the safeguard of truth—the inevitable necessity of sincerity.
III. These for defence. But our motto is not defence, but defiance; and for this there is the sword of the Spirit—the Word, the thought of God, all the Divine ideas expressed through the words and lives of men. Let it be drawn, and bright and clean, that so we may wage a continuing and a conquering warfare with evil around and within. Not defence alone, but defiance.

At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
