| Updated Alerts Functionality |

The alerts you receive at the top of your screen--for new profile comments, picture comments, notices, etc.--have some new functionality.
First, it's no longer necessary to refresh the page to check for new alerts, as they will now refresh on their own. This is nice if you like to switch around on a few different browser tabs and occasionally peek in on your DS; you won't have to keep hitting refresh to see if you have new comments.
Secondly, when new alerts arrive, a soft chime is played. Again, this is helpful if you tab around a lot and want some kind of notice when you're on another tab. If you decide you don't like the new sound notice, just visit your Control Panel and look at Edit Profile -> Sound Notices.
Enjoy . . . |

The Soviet Union retains the pomp and ceremony of military glory, and the officer class is highly regarded, if not by the public (who can know the true feelings of Soviet citizens?) then at least by the rulers of the Kremlin. Nor did the intellectuals always despise soldiers in the United States. Many of the very universities which delight in making mock of uniforms were endowed by land grants and were founded in the expectation that they would train officers for the state militia. It has not been all that many years since US combat troops were routinely expected to wear uniform off post, and when my uniform was sufficient for free entry into movie houses, the New York Museum of . . .
