Tree collapse selects all children (performance issue)
I have a tree with a terrible performance, profiling I saw that the function I have attached to the selectionchange event of the selection model is called tons of times when you collapse a node. I created a small test case for this, you can run it and check the console when the root is collapsed:
<html> <head> <title>ExtJS Example</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="javascript/extjs/resources/css/ext-all.css"/> <script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/extjs/ext-all-debug.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> Ext.onReady(function() { var root = {text : 'root', children :[]}, counter = 0; for (var i = 0; i < 99; i++) { root.children.push({text : 'child'+i, leaf:true}); } Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', { layout: 'border', items: [ Ext.create('Ext.tree.Panel', { title : 'tree', region: 'west', split: true, width: 300, selModel : Ext.create('Ext.selection.RowModel', { listeners : { selectionChange : function() { counter++; console.log(counter); } } }), store : Ext.create('Ext.data.TreeStore', { root : root }) }) ] }); }); </script> </head> <body></body> </html>

There's a couple of points here:
1) Trees should use selection.TreeModel. Currently it's not documented, but it needs to be and will be in future versions.
2) The selection model does need to check some extra stuff before firing events, which we'll fix up as well.
Thanks for the test case.Evan Trimboli

Guatemala's long civil war, which spurred large flows of refugees, has given way to high levels of economic migration to the United States and an economy more dependent on remittances. Also, Guatemala's geography has made it a prime transit country for migrants headed north, as James Smith of Inforpress Centroamericana reports.
Although most Central American refugees sought protection in the United States, Canada admitted thousands of Central American refugees in the 1980s. María Cristina García of Cornell University takes a detailed look at Central Americans in Canada
Since the 1980s, Mexico has become home to Guatemalan refugees and served as a transit country for Central Americans seeking to reach the United States. Manuel Ángel Castillo of El Colegio de México analyzes Mexico's policies toward its southern neighbors.
The Central America Free Trade Agreement may be the most important economic event in the region in 20 years. However, it seems unlikely to reverse established migration trends, reports Salomon Cohen.
Salvadorans abroad have helped their families economically and, to some extent, decreased poverty levels back home. Yet migration has economic and social costs in El Salvador - and has not yet proved to be the answer to its development problems, according to Katharine Andrade-Eekhoff.
Recent Activity
The U.S. government has increased its attention to public security issues in Mexico and Central America since 2007. This report suggest the policy emphasis has begun to shift away from the earlier focus on combating drug trafficking and transnational crime toward addressing the citizen security crisis.
Over the past two decades, governing institutions in Mexico and parts of Central America have proven too primitive to cope with the volatility of democratic transitions. Organized crime has taken over key activities of various levels of government and corruption has become more entrenched. These regions must face the challenge of building democratic institutions capable of engaging in good governance.
The event discussion, which touched on the intersection of race and immigration, focused on the demographics of Black immigrants (both African and Caribbean) in the United States and their children, their educational success, and the implications of the recently released volume's findings for research and public policy.
This interdisciplinary volume examines the health, well-being, school readiness, and academic achievement of children in Black immigrant families (most with parents from Africa and the Caribbean)—a population that has had little academic attention even as it represents an increasing share of the U.S. Black child population.
Crime and insecurity are undermining economic and social prosperity in Mexico and Central America, eroding public trust in government institutions. This report examines current economic, social, and political costs resulting from insecurity, and future implications.
The growth of organized crime in Mexico and Central America has dramatically increased the risks that migrants crossing the region face. As this report outlines, migrants increasingly are forced to seek the assistance of intermediaries, and those unable to afford one are more likely to be abused along the way.
This report outline the long-standing pattern of northern Central American governments' inattention to their borders – probing root causes that range from institutional, economic, and resource challenges to corruption and weak government structures.
Using a nationally representative U.S. birth-cohort study, this report examines levels of school readiness among young children by race/ethnicity and nativity. The authors identify the contextual factors — such as family circumstances, parenting practices, and enrollment in center-based child care — that encourage early school success.

ASPCA poison control experts warn that the toxic dangers of antifreeze can turn a simple stroll into a devastating event for our furry friends. Used to protect cars from extreme temperatures, antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, a colorless and odorless alcohol known for its sweet taste.
"Antifreeze is a serious safety concern for both cats and dogs," says Mindy Bough, Vice President of Operations for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. "Unfortunately, just a few licks can cause kidney failure and death in a matter of days—even a small amount that may be licked off a paw is enough to cause serious harm."
As always, if you suspect your pet has consumed a toxic substance, please note the amount ingested and contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.

text: CALGARY, AB—North America's electricity infrastructure needs close to $1 trillion (US) in investment over the next decade to meet the growing needs of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, according to a new report from the Fraser Institute, Canada's leading public policy think-tank.But unless governments remove or lower barriers that limit investment in expanded electric generation, transmission, and distribution facilities, consumers will likely see power rates jump, the report warns. "Population and economic growth, as well as the production of new and more electricity-consuming products such as electric cars, mean that significant investment in new electric generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure will be needed in the near future," said Gerry Angevine, Fraser Institute senior economist and co-author of North American Electricity: Escalating Prices Possible Unless Infrastructure Investment Barriers Are Eased. "Unfortunately, numerous obstacles to investment are hindering not only expansion of electric generation capacity throughout North America but also development of the required additional infrastructure needed to transport power from new generation sites to the end users."The report points out that electric generation capacity in North America is projected to increase by eight per cent, or 102,291 MW, by 2020 compared to current levels. The need to connect wind power and hydroelectric capacity being built in remote regions to consumption centers will add to investment requirements, including additional international, cross-border connections. To ensure reliability as electricity production and consumption increases, interregional transmission connections throughout North America will need to be strengthened. The report also notes that the deployment of new smart-grid, energy efficiency, and other demand-side management technologies will mean a greater share of electricity infrastructure investment will be allocated to distribution.North American Electricity: Escalating Prices Possible Unless Infrastructure Investment Barriers Are Eased is the third instalment in the Fraser Institute's Continental Energy Strategy series of reports. It notes that failure to achieve the required level of investment in electricity infrastructure will lead to significant economic losses for North Americans, and that power rates will have to be adjusted (by regulators or market forces) to ration limited electricity supplies. Barriers to investment also threaten the reliability of the continental electricity system and increase the possibility of blackouts.The study makes 12 policy recommendations to expedite investment in required electricity infrastructure across North America:

text: Im onboard with just about everything but I would swap Baccari Rambo for Elam. Rambo is more of a game-changer back there. I also don't think we would draft "Honey Badger" with the type of character players Philbin is trying to build this team with. I would prob just go BPA with that pick and hope its a very atletic guard. Other than that, I would be absolutely ecstatic with that Offseason!!! Michael Johnson is a budding superstar and him and Wake would terrorize the NFL. Cook gives us the playmaking seam threat we're looking for. Jennings, Allen, and Swope, would give us a very talented WR core to add to a solid Bess and developing Mathews. Derek Cox is a playmaker Sean Smith could only dream of being. Trufant would gives us a very good cover guy with good speed, size, and skills to become a quality starter. This Offseason plan would upgrade just about every unit on our team. Please forward this plan to Ireland please!!!

Comments On Oct 30, 2014:The overall fit and finish is pretty good. I was a little worried by some reviews but on the quadzilla I was happy. I have a factory nose piece that fit perfectly on the aftermarket front fenders which was nice. My only complaint is that I bought the rear fenders too and the colors don't quite match up the same. The front is darker yellow while the rear is more like a normal Suzuki yellow or lighter than the fronts. Its enough that it is definitely noticeable but over time it might not be as bad I hope. I am just disappointed that Maiers can color match there own product better but it is better than my 25 year old faded, broken plastic so I will live with it.

Earth Talk
Earth Talk
An interview with UT geology professor Mike McKinney
An interview with UT geology professor Mike McKinney
by Beth Carroll Hunley
"Tell me a story about Earth," I ask Mike McKinney. "Tell me what Earth would say if it could talk." I am in his office inside the Earth and Planetary Sciences building at the University of Tennessee. Lit only by the morning sunrays filtered through blinds from outside, it seems somehow fitting for a paleontologist, his original profession and the reason the university hired him as a professor 22 years ago. His switch to geology came naturally, and is more in keeping with his environmental activism.
"How can I talk about extinctions in the distant past when I am witnessing the greatest extinction of all time right now?"
He is referring to the devastating impacts of development, urban sprawl and mountaintop mining on the East Tennessee landscape.
We were talking about our growing up years--his in the Florida countryside, mine in and around the woods of East Tennessee--and how those early years provided the catalyst for a life-long love of nature.
I am looking for a way to write which could reconnect people to their own earlier experiences of nature and what has captivated them. I had come here looking for Eliot's objective correlative--a touchstone of reality, with an experience that would call forth such emotions as a way of approaching a conversation about the environment. I thought that Dr. Mike McKinney was the man to do it.
It would take some prodding, though. He is still angry about the loss of the Turkey Creek Wetlands to the commercial development of a two-mile-long upscale strip center. A leader in the struggle to save this wetlands habitat that was home to more than 20 species of migratory birds, he has taken the loss hard. His anger has turned bitter.
Still he has learned to put such anger to good use. Those early years as a naturalist in the Florida backwoods and watching with his young eyes the dismantling of the landscape by Disney and other developers had catapulted him off to Yale and his lifelong study of science. It was this combination of his love of the environment and his anger about the assaults on nature that propelled him.
I knew that he could tell me what gives East Tennessee its unique character, geologically speaking. I had heard the awe and quiet reverence in his voice at the end of our first interview in response to my question about the rocks around New Found Gap at the headwaters of the Little River in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He had told me that the Little River traveled over and around billion-year-old granite created when North America collided with Africa, and how as the Little River etched its way downward it came into contact with younger limestone rock (only about 400 million years old) left over from the Ordovician time.
I had come to my own conclusions instinctively that it is in us--this love of nature--waiting to be tapped. For myself I knew that my soul and spirit are bound up with these hills, and I was looking for a way to write that would connect people to what fascination nature held for them.
"What you are talking about," he says, "is what E.O. Wilson defines as the Biophilia Hypothesis. We have an instinctive love of nature. We evolved from it."
"It is part of us," I chime in.
"In his explanation, Wilson says it's an instinct just like the need for air and other things. Food.
"But before we go any further with this conversation," he cautions me, "a real prerequisite to this whole line of reasoning is exposure. And the problem is, we have built ourselves a society where people are no longer exposed to it. If you had been born 20 years ago, and were growing up now, I doubt you would have these feelings."
He mentions a concept called Nature Deficit Disorder, which he believes is relevant. "Also people are visiting parks less now. The hypothesis is that they are spending more time watching TV and so on. If kids aren't exposed to nature, they are not going to get it. By the time you are 20, your personality is shaped."
He is concerned about inner-city kids whom he believes have very distorted ideas about the environment. Exposure is the key, he reiterates.
I ask him if he is familiar with the concept of Earth conscious of itself, the idea of Earth being able to reflect on itself through its human component. And of course he is--he's been around a while, he reminds me.
"For one thing," I say, "all the minerals in my body came out of Earth."
"This is an intellectual tradition that goes back to Thoreau at Walden. He started this whole line of thinking. He basically saw nature as a temple," says McKinney. "I am one of those people too, but I am also a harsh realist, and when it comes to these problems like urban sprawl, there is no doubt in my mind that 95 percent of the people in our society do not have these thoughts and there is no way to make them have them."
I understand that people don't all have these thoughts because they haven't had the experiences, and with more and more of the natural landscape being cut away, there is not as much opportunity. Still, if the connection to nature is instinctual, then it is in us somewhere, even if it has to be evoked or tapped. And what I want is not to stir people to do something, but rather to stir them to see the beauty and to feel it.
McKinney does not disagree. "I am just saying we have to find some way to communicate with them in their language which is too often just economical and just pragmatic."
"So please," I say, "tell me about Earth."
"You mean like sense of place?"
"Here are some basic things that make our area unique, and it is a tragedy that they are just paving it over.
"We have more species than any other inland state--mostly aquatic. It's because we have the oldest mountains on the planet. These mountains are 250 million years old. You go to Florida. You don't see that--the rocks there are 10,000 years old. By the same token, if you go to North Carolina, you find some of the oldest rocks on the planet. There are rocks in North Carolina that are a billion years old. So there is an immense inheritance here.
"Then there is the diversity," McKinney explains. "If you get in your car and you drive to Nashville or Memphis, suddenly you run into dinosaurs, and rocks that were here when dinosaurs were here."
"Fossils. The rocks get younger as you drive toward Memphis. About halfway between Nashville and Memphis you run into rocks of the Cretaceous Age. So you run into dinosaur bones. And then you drive a little more and you are into the Ice Age."
Roadside geology.
"But getting back into East Tennessee, you've got every single geological age represented in the rocks; you've got some of the most complex topography. Some of the cleanest rivers east of the Mississippi like the Obed River are on the Cumberland Plateau. Some of the most pristine white waters, some of the oldest forests and rock formations left are in Big South Fork. Unfortunately, they are drilling for oil there. Also, strip mining--mountaintop mining is occurring there.
"We have a wonderful heritage here for people. The thing the developers don't understand is that people don't come here for Pigeon Forge--they come here for the nature, and if they just continue to ignore nature, the tourists aren't going to come here."
McKinney was recently involved in a "conservancy deal" in which they lost 59 acres to development on a ridge overlooking Cades Cove. Before European settlers built homesteads there in the 1800s, the cove was a gathering place for Cherokee native peoples. Views from its meadows include highland slopes of Precambrian rock. "It was a land deal that was up for bid, because nobody knew about it." As a result, McKinney says some of the ridges that are visible from Cades Cove will be converted into housing developments.
"So it's a shame. But like you say, if you can alert people to what they are losing... I totally agree."
McKinney teaches geology because he is fascinated by Earth, and I am thinking about what Earth has to teach us, and how to get in touch with that. So I ask him about listening to and observing Earth and what we can learn.
"I can tell you, distilling 53 years of experience, so I feel like I am qualified. I think the single most important thing that Earth has to teach is humility . It's the idea that our time on this planet is so unbelievably short it boggles the mind, and unless we take care of it, our grandkids and future generations are going to be furious with what we have done."
The idea that we can do anything that we want, with no constraints, is totally at odds with the legacy we want to leave for future generations, McKinney says.
"By studying our planet's past, I know that all species are temporary. I know that everything we build is going to be flattened. Everything we build is eventually going to disappear. As much as we like to think of ourselves as being apart from nature, we are not apart from nature. It all goes under the umbrella of humility --how ephemeral the human is, how short-lived, how much we are part of the machinery of nature. Every aspect of nature teaches us about humility ."
I once heard a Catholic bishop whom I much admired tell the story of growing up in a family of seven children and how his father gave each of them a little piece of the family garden to work. He pointed out that the family's subsistence wasn't dependent on the toil of the children, because the father's labor was going to insure that the family had enough to eat. Unlike that scenario, the bishop noted, what happens in the world is dependent on our human contributions. So is there a part for the human to play? What each of us does here matters, doesn't it? I ask McKinney.
McKinney responds, "What we call the first law of ecology is that everything is connected. That really fits in with that. You never do just one thing. The guy that invented the internal combustion engine didn't think he was going to change the climate. The guys who promote urban sprawl don't consider the fact that they might be degrading the Gulf of Mexico, but they are, because a lot of our pollution goes to the Gulf of Mexico."
So I ask for more examples in terms of this interdependence that underpins everything--our mountains--a synecdoche, if you please.
"For some reason," he says, "I am thinking about mountaintop mining, and just that the definition of where we live is a mountain. If we destroy the mountain, do you know how much electricity we get out of that mountain for the coal? An entire mountain provides an hour's worth of electricity for the U.S. That is insane by anybody's laws. So instead of respecting this icon of our area we grind it up, burn it for an hour's worth of electricity. And in the meantime, we've lost the most unique ecosystem east of the Mississippi. We've lost the fish, we've lost the plants, we've lost the birds--the migratory birds who breed here have no place to go. We've lost our cultural heritage, our Indian burial grounds, and shown total disrespect for nature."
Among some of the most endangered species of our area McKinney lists the hellbender, the largest salamander that actually migrated geographically from China tens of thousands years ago; the Fraser fir and the hemlock; the brook trout. Also in terms of migratory birds: the raven, the larger relative of the crow, and a lot of the migratory warblers.
"So if you were to think like a mountain," I ask, "what would you say?"
"I am an incredibly wild and unique and old ecosystem and that is why we have so many species here; therefore I deserve respect."

About a year after Hurricane Katrina, we featured architect Carib Daniel Martin's H.E.L.P. emergency shelter, a modular concept he developed to solve the challenges of widespread and sudden homelessness in the Gulf region. Almost two years later, having shopped the prototype around to manufacturers and found no takers, Martin is producing his prefab shelter himself in a manufacturing facility he built in Illinois. Now dubbed the microHOME (not to be confused with this micro home), Martin's product has become commercially available for both emergency and non-emergency purposes.
At just 100 square feet (!) this multifunctional mini house contains a kitchenette, private bath and composting toilet. For supplemental space, it also comes with a porch that has been designed in a number of different styles to suit the inhabitant. It's hard to imagine how in the world a person (let alone a family!) could live sanely in just 100 square feet. Perhaps as a temporary shelter it would provide welcome relief, but in the long term we suspect anyone would crave some elbow room.
Because it's now intended for a variety of end users, the microHOME is just one of several iterations in Martin's line of manufactured homes known as microSYSTEM. He also offers a studio, shed and cabana. It can all be found at the website of Martin's company Mfinity, aptly named after the infinite options Martin has designed for ultra-compact living.

check these out.
both of these designs have recieved quite a lot of press.

Stick built homes are far less efficient, they are often horribly constructed (which is why most of your homes in the suburbs were constructed in a week) and most of them fall apart in fifty years. Granted this prefab is both way too expensive and unatractive….however there are some amazing designs on the market that are extremely inexpensive great little homes. A prefab is supposed to be efficient and cost effective. This country won't take to the idea, because we just don't like ideas that make sense…..hense all the Hummers and Excersions lumbering around your neighborhood instead of Hybrids.

40k? Thats nuts. Come to think of it, that thing sort of looks like a building prop I saw in a SNL skit. Is this……..some sort of joke?

I toured five mobile home sales centers in NC last week & was impressed that the real deal has come a long way. Yes, I did enter one that had a notice noting that materials with formaldehyde were used (apparently, some people don't know that it's not nice to use the F word)… And in another my eyes were burning within 3 minutes of entering… But I did tour a nice 1,000 SF double-wide that used smarter materials, had a high ceiling, ample windows , and get-outta-town Betty!!!, they could land that baby for $39K turn-key! Made me think about all this Prefab Friday & PreFabulous, etc. So, reading this article, I think about how ridiculous the whole independent prefab market segment is. Flat people, marmalades, and all that. After reading the comments on this shack, I'm thinking some land owners are about to band together for La Révolution…
Send this man a copy of Walden…

Great idea. I wok in emergency management, and am part of the recovery of Louisiana after Katrina. The price is way off though, to make this a realistic option for it's size. Used FEMA trailers, sell for around $4- $8,000.00.
August 19, 2007 at 3:53 pm
$40 grand is ridiculous either subjectively or objectively. It's insulting to the rest of the world to charge that much – obviously "green" ethics don't extend outside of the transaction itself in this case …
I recently had a very nice Craftsman bungalow/cabin built in Montana for $41,500. That included labor, solar panels for electricity (with a small battery backup), well drilling and a small rain collector, septic system and hookups, permits and everything. It also covered the cost of 7 acres of land … Oh yeah, and my house is just as "green" (or more so!) than this thing.
August 19, 2007 at 9:28 am
$40,000 seems like a lot but it is still cheaper than other small prefabs out there. The micro-mini costs 50,000 euros (thats nearly $67,500) and the tumbleweed house costs $43,000. And both of these you still have to pay to ship them!
August 19, 2007 at 2:37 am
All prefab structures are ugly, guys.
August 18, 2007 at 11:49 pm
One reason I love small spaces is because they require significantly more ingenuity than larger ones.
However, in this minihome, I can see no signs of intelligence or creativity in the design. It's just small.
August 18, 2007 at 9:54 pm
Very cool, I like it!
August 18, 2007 at 5:38 pm
Check the website. That $40,000.00 does include free delivery and setup! What a joke! The government might think it's a good deal though.
August 18, 2007 at 10:27 am
Micro homes are supposed to be affordable. The basic idea of this one is great, but the company will never succeed unless they rethink the pricing. How was the price derived? It reflects a lack of business experience and a lack mass production experience. We are never going to solve the housing problem with prices like that for such a tiny structure, and believe me, I'm all for Micro Homes. It should sell for less than $10,000.00 including a fair profit. The pricing indicates a lack of experience in the marketplace. Not to be picking just on this one submission, the other model referred to from Europe is far to expensive also. I'm ok with the actual design, it's just the price that bothers me. I would hate to see the company fail because we need these units in the marketplace.
August 18, 2007 at 2:41 am
$40,000 for that? No wonder prefab isn't popular in the U.S. If you offered that money to any good ol' boy in the Midwest they would build you a house 10 times that size.
August 17, 2007 at 7:02 pm
Wow. Kids in a Prefab photo? I think that might be a first. Seems like most Prefabs are marketed to DINKs or single adults.
Also, the Katrina Cottage, a previous Prefab Friday Feature, was prominently featured on the last page of the Lowe's ad this week. I'm no where near hurricane region. They show both the 544 sq ft and the 697 sq ft version and refer shoppers to Lowes.com/KatrinaCottage for more info.
August 17, 2007 at 2:14 pm
It' so UGLY! I much prefer the white cube houses featured recently.
August 17, 2007 at 12:28 pm
I cannot understand $430 sq ft. I might have called them nice. But I have to wonder is his profit margin. I'm all for fair pricing but this seems outrageous.
August 17, 2007 at 10:37 am
Thank God that I do not have to live in this shack.
August 17, 2007 at 9:52 am
I really like that Architects are thinking about this issue, but I can't help thinking they are just trying to re-invent the wheel over and over. For the same cost of one 100SF ! unit, a person could get a 400SF Park Home Cabin. For example. ( http://pinebrooklogcabins.com/Product_Page.htm) This offers the same advantages…protability, factory buit etc that these units are offering. Why not take the ugly model and work it up? I realize his cost is going to be high b/c of production costs, but I really don't see how they can be triple an exising product on the market.

http://news.yahoo.com/debt-ceiling-d...233346015.htmlNot surprisingly, it illuminated the complicated politics and policy that go along with raising the national borrowing limit these days. And also not surprisingly, perhaps, it went nowhere, concluding with the somewhat comical scene of Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R) of Kentucky filibustering his own proposal.
Welcome to Capitol Hill...
But never underestimate the congressional urge to make your opponents look silly.
Out of the blue, McConnell came to the floor Thursday and asked for a vote on the presidents proposal.
McConnell was hoping to put Democrats in the awkward position of having to vote for ceding Congresss authority over the debt ceiling to the president. As he put it in his morning remarks, by demanding the power to raise the debt limit whenever he wants by as much as he wants, he showed what hes really after is assuming unprecedented power to spend taxpayer dollars without any limit.
Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada objected, putting Democrats in the position of blocking a vote on their presidents proposal. Yet within hours, Democrats sensed a way to turn the tables and were ready to call McConnells bluff.
They returned to the floor and offered to bring the matter up for a vote immediately, concluding that, politically speaking, they would be happy to argue that fixing the debt ceiling permanently was the fiscally responsible thing to do even at the cost of congressional authority.
Our downgrade of Americas credit rating was not based on the state of our economy but the debt-ceiling debate, said Sen. Dick Durbin (D) of Illinois to reporters after the affair. We are paying dearly for that already. So the Republicans are creating a situation which makes reducing the debt and deficit extremely difficult by creating this uncertainty about the debt ceiling.
So what did Mitch McConnell do, facing a vote on his own suggestion from just hours before?
He offered two magic words I object and filibustered his own suggestion.
Now thats damned amusing. To shorten the quote i cut out the backstory, which was Obama trying to get the "McConnell Provision".

I don't want this to be a chance for you to tell me what is wrong with the theocratic abscess burrowed; the thorn in your side or the vacant imperfection imposed upon the resident scapegoat. I care not to afford you the opportunity to lick your wounds in my sight or to appease the cultural norms subscribed.
Without the fear on the other side of the fence nor the ruckus in the alley way I want you to tell me what the benefit of an atheist lifestyle is had the social and political majority not absolved you and the necessary protestation of that artificial insemination had manifested itself in hindsight.
In other words, had there been no myth where would you see yourself rather than where would you see yourself in light of it.

In my scenario, our nature has evolved past 'magical thought' - and that would mean a paradigm shift in civilization that would very likely free us from a lot of our cyclical mistakes. Just saying.
Earlier I offered a Latin term which loosely translated is a jackass rubs the back of a jackass to make them feel good.
Why don't you and Heather rent a manger in Jerusalem and start a cult.
People like you have no answer.
Jesus fucking Christ, Heather Sponheim is as obtuse as a caboose.
Its fucking funny. She is so dumb.
Much hate I sense in you, young Henson. The path to the douche side is a dangerous one.
Is theism a "lifestyle" (like the supposed "gay lifestyle")? or is it more of a theological orientation?
We aren't born atheists.
A baby does not have a position on the question of God's existence. Nonbelief is different from disbelief. By parity of logic, we aren't born apolitical, we're born unaware of politics.
I can assure you Blaine, it wouldn't be his only, or even his most serious, problem --

Summer has come to an end, but I am just now beginning to realize the toll it took on my sun damaged skin. Sun spots, wrinkles, damaged aging skin, what's a girl to do? Yes, I did wear sunscreen all summer long and it did help, but I wanted to do something more, not only to prevent skin damage, but to erase it. I decided to take action and rejuvenate my face for Fall. They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, so when I came across a deal for a 75-minute Microdermabrasion Diamond Peel at Privileged Spa I could not resist the opportunity to see what it's all about.
The new Diamond Peel system is a gentler and more modern approach to Microdermabrasion. It erases epidermal layers at varying depths in a safe, controlled manner leaving little to no redness (in my case…none). Removing this outer layer of dead skin cells leaves a smoother texture and promotes the growth of healthy new skin cells. Microdermabrasion also stimulates the collagen beneath the surface of the skin resulting in healthier and firmer appearance. It's non-invasive, pain-free, and requires little to no down time after treatment. The only thing that was requested after this treatment was to avoid long hours of sun exposure and to avoid exercise for a day or two (good excuse for not hitting the treadmill) as the sweat and heat can irritate the skin and make it ultra sensitive. If you have a skin problem such as aging and sun damaged skin, acne, discoloration/hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, fine lines or enlarged/clogged pores, then the Diamond Peel would be a good treatment to try.
After the procedure, Cosmedix Rescue Balm & Mask was applied to nourish the skin and to relieve any irritation to promote a speedy skin recovery. It felt amazing and after all is said and done, I am very impressed with the results and with the way my skin looks and feels. Using Diamonds to exfoliate the skin further proves why they are considered to be a girl's best friend. Not only do they look good, but they feel amazing and can make your skin glow.

I'm currently reading Kathleen Flinn's The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry (my Amazon Associates link) for my online book club. It's not nearly as emo as the title suggests! It's a memoir of the author's time at Le Cordon Bleu. So many people's worst fear is to lose their job, but in reality, being fired can make people happier in the long run, because they were are given an opportunity to leave a less than ideal, but comfortable, situation and think about what they truly want to do. Flinn lost her corporate job, and with the encouragement from her boyfriend, being let go gave her a chance to pursue a long-time dream: studying cooking at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. If you've ever been curious what culinary school is like, The Sharper Your Knife gives you all the inside scoop.
I'm enjoying the book so far, and it makes me think about taking a break from work and doing something for me. Though I'm in no financial position to enroll in culinary school for fun, it has made me think about how I want to spend the next few years. It made me reflect on the fact that I will soon be leaving a job of six years, and before jumping right back into another job I'm not passionate about, I should think about what my own dreams are. Culinary school does sound fun, I will admit. But that's something I don't need to pursue while I'm young…one day, perhaps! Flinn is a great writer and brings her culinary school and Paris experiences to life, drawing you into her story. This has been a very satisfying read so far, especially compared to the last culinary school memoir I read, which lacked the attention to detail and heart that this book has.
Most chapters in the book ends with a recipe inspired by her story. I've always wanted to make a quiche, so I went ahead and adapted one of Flinn's recipe. It came out delicious. Enjoy!
Please check out our online book club, The Kitchen Reader.
Sun Dried Tomato and Caramelized Onion Quiche
Pâte Brisée:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter, cut into pieces and chilled
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large onions, sliced
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon flour
6 to 8 sun dried tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 tablespoon chopped or dried thyme
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 egg, beaten
3 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
Salt and pepper
To make the pâte brisée:
Add the flour and salt to a food processor. Process for a few seconds. Add the butter. Pulse until you get coarse crumbs. Gradually add a bit of water ar a time until the dough forms and sticks together. You may want to use your hands and add more water if needed until you get a soft dough. Form the dough into a disk shape and wrap in plastic.Let rest in the fridge for at least half an hour or up to one day.
To make the quiche:
Preheat oven to 425. Melt the butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion and bay leaf for about half an hour, stirring every so often, until soft and brown. Remove the bay leaf, then add the flour and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 more minutes, then take off heat and let cool completely.
Meanwhile, pour boiling hot water over sun dried tomatoes in a small bowl and set aside to plump for a few minutes, then drain tomatoes. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the garlic, drained tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of thyme, and Kosher salt for a few minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Roll out the dough and press it into a pie pan. Set a large piece of parchment paper in the center and fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove parchment and weights, and brush the pastry with the beaten egg. Return to the oven for 7 minutes. Remove and let the pastry cool slightly.
Whisk the 3 eggs and heavy cream in a large bowl. Stir in one third of the cheese, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of thyme. Stir in the cooled onions and pour into the pastry shell. Arrange the tomatoes in a pretty pattern on top, and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake for 20 minutes until firm. Reduce oven heat to 400 and return to oven for another 15 minutes until firm, browned, and a little puffy.

Cadillac Family Practice provides friendly, accessible primary care. Our special services in musculoskeletal and sports medicine are designed to keep you moving. Our cozy, kid-friendly waiting room and individual attention from our caring staff ensures your visit is as comfortable as possible.
About Us
I returned to Bar Harbor where I grew up not long after I completed my medical training and opened a tiny old-fashioned medical office in my home. Eventually I moved my practice into town and, 12 years later, joined MDI Hospital's group of practices.
At Cadillac Family Practice, we strive to maintain that small town, friendly and welcoming atmosphere all the while having the resources of MDI Hospital right next door. Each of our providers offers traditional primary family care for patients of all ages, and individually we focus on particular areas of interest. By working as a team we often consult with our peers to make the most of each other's interests and skills.
My personal interest, for example, is in Orthopaedic medicine, which is a non-surgical approach to musculoskeletal problems. This approach emphasizes functional diagnosis such as issues of gait or muscle imbalances and offers treatments that often include exercises, regenerative injections such as platelet rich plasma (PRP) and manipulation.
Angela DelVecchio, FNP, is a family nurse practitioner who sees mostly women, children and adolescents. She also provides care at the College of the Atlantic's on campus health center.
Linda Crowell, FNP, brings a substantial experience in nursing, including work in the Emergency Department, before becoming a nurse practitioner. She can often be found caring for people with relatively complicated or serious health problems, as well as providing ongoing care for chronic disease.
— Dr. Mark Kandutsch

Bane's nightmare skill can work on both allies and enemies, and is transferred when the sleeping target is attacked, but what are the conditions for doing so? Does the attack have to be a targeted attack, or can any aoe effect cause the transfer (such as ancient apparition's ult)? Also, is it possible to deny allies with this spell, will they take damage while sleeping?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Yes, Bane Nightmare's skill can be used to deny allies.
Regarding the damage required to wake up the target can be any type: AoE, target skill or auto-attack, even Radiance can do it. This is the reason why playing Bane within low pub teams can be difficult sometimes.
Transferring the Nightmare effect to the attacker only works with auto-attack instead.
to add some information: manual orb effects like huskars/drows arrows and viper/obsidians attacks wake up the target but if they cast it manually (clicking the spell and then target the sleeping enemy) the attacker wont get nightmare.

Piano Jazz is a weekly one-hour radio show produced and distributed by National Public Radio (NPR). It began on June 4, 1978, and was hosted by jazz pianist Marian McPartland (1918–2013) until 2011. It is the longest-running cultural program on NPR. The show features a single guest, and usually consists of about an equal mixture of discussion and playing, often duets with McPartland. Initially the guests were limited to jazz pianists, but out of necessity the format was expanded to include performers on other instruments as well as other genres (though the performances remain focused on jazz tunes). The show provides an inside look at the relationships of jazz musicians, since McPartland often had long friendships with many of her guests. Piano Jazz won a Peabody Award in 1983. The show is an exclusive production of South Carolina public radio on WLTR and is offered nationally by NPR.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Valerie Kanar on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
From the French form of the Latin name Valeria, feminine of Valerius, an old Roman family name apparently derived from valere 'to be healthy, strong'. The name owes its popularity as a male name in France to the cult of a 3rd-century saint who was converted to Christianity by Martial of Limoges. The masculine form Valery is found occasionally in England in the 16th century, but by the 17th century had fallen into disuse.

Parker North, CO Free Speech
Sampson v. Buescher
Silencing Political Speech: Colorado's Campaign Finance Laws Stifle Political Debate
In America, the only thing you should need in order to speak out about politics is an opinion. After all, political speech and participation is exactly what the First Amendment was designed to protect.
But in Colorado, you need more than an opinion. To speak effectively about elections in Colorado, you must be prepared to register with the State, track and report all of your "contributions" and "expenditures" and disclose the identities of anyone who contributed money to your efforts. So if you and a neighbor distribute fliers or put up yard signs that support or oppose a ballot issue, Colorado considers you an "issue committee" and redefines your speech as campaign "finance" activities as long as you spend more than $200. If you do not register and comply with burdensome reporting requirements, anyone off the street with a political ax to grind can sue you for violations of the campaign finance laws.
The residents of Parker North, Colo., discovered this the hard way. In the midst of a debate about whether their tiny subdivision of about 300 homes should be annexed into the neighboring town of Parker, the supporters of annexation filed a campaign finance complaint against the six most vocal opponents, and threatened to go after anyone else with a yard sign opposing the annexation.
Individuals should not have to register with the government and comply with onerous regulations in order to talk about politics. That is why on September 19, 2006, the Institute for Justice filed suit against the Colorado Secretary of State, who is responsible for enforcing Colorado's campaign finance laws. The case seeks to vindicate the free speech rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. In September 2008, the trial court concluded that Colorado's campaign finance laws "had the effect of stifling political speech in violation of the First Amendment," but upheld them nonetheless. IJ appealed that ruling to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal, which on November 9, 2010, reversed the district court ruling and held that grassroots political groups could not be subject to burdensome campaign finance laws merely for speaking out about ballot issues.

It was not enough for Favre's team to reach the Super Bowl -- he had to get the credit. Game tied with 19 seconds remaining, Favre scrambled at about the New Orleans 40-yard line, with open field ahead of him. All he needed to do was run a few yards, hook-slide, call timeout, and the Vikings' strong-legged kicker, Ryan Longwell, had a solid chance to win the NFC championship. But the credit had to go to Favre; he had to throw a spectacular pass at the end, so television announcers would swoon. So he heave-hoed a dramatic across-the-field pass. It was intercepted, and the Saints won in overtime.
