- Place one tart shell on each of 8 serving plates. Fill the center of each tart shell with 1/4 cup of the whipped topping; then place 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the strawberries over the topping, allowing a few of the berry slices to tumble down the sides.
- Place the jam in a small pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute, or until runny. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the jam over the fruit, and serve immediately.
- Variation To make Raspberry Angel Tarts, substitute fresh raspberries for the strawberries, and chocolate syrup or seedless raspberry jam for the strawberry jam. (Do not heat the chocolate syrup; just drizzle it over the berries straight from the bottle.)

Jim Suhr/Associated Press
Jim Suhr/Associated Press
FULTS, Ill. � As he watched his 10-year-old son ease a tractor across a soybean field, Dennis Mosbacher acknowledged the risks of farming.
But Mosbacher said the U.S. Labor Department was misguided in its attempts to protect children from farm accidents and he�s relieved the agency dropped its plans this spring and has promised not to take up the matter again.
�You can�t make a rule to stop every accident,� Mosbacher said after his son Jacob hopped off the 40-year-old, 60-horsepower tractor at their farm near the tiny southern Illinois town of Fults. �There�s always a risk in life, no matter what you do.�
Labor Department officials don�t deny that, but they note that children performing farm work are four times more likely to be killed than those employed in all other industries combined.
Under the Labor Department�s failed proposal, paid farm workers would have to be 16 to use power equipment, such as tractors. They would have to be 18 to work at grain elevators, silos and feedlots. The rules would not have applied to children working at farms owned by their parents, but they would have limited the paid jobs youngsters could do on their neighbors� and relatives� farms.
John Myers, chief of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Administration�s surveillance and field investigations branch, said it�s unfortunate the agency dropped its proposal in the face of intense opposition from agricultural groups. Agency officials have said they will not take up the matter again as long as Barack Obama is president.
�I have not seen any youth working in other industries that are at higher risk,� Myers said. �(Farming) may be an accepted risk for the parent, but the question is to put that risk on the child. That�s the question that�s not being adequately addressed.�
The lack of action also troubles Cheryl Monen, who lives in the small northwestern Iowa community of Lester.
Had such child labor rules been in place a year ago, her 17-year-old son might still be alive.
Jordan Monen was into his second summer working on a cattle farm in July 2011 when he climbed into the bucket of a payloader and was hoisted up to fix the top railing on a cattle shed�s sliding door. The machine lunged forward and smashed the teen�s face between the railing and the back of the bucket. He then hit a cement feed trough as he tumbled to the ground.
The boy was taken to a hospital, where he was declared dead of severe head trauma.
A year later, his mother remains haunted about her decision to let her son take the job.
�I feel so guilty about it now. I just had not put it together how terribly dangerous it was and the risks he was in,� Monen said. �I really struggle with that. Now, I really wish I never suggested he get a job.�
Monen now thinks anyone younger than 18 should be barred from working on a farm �because they don�t recognize the dangers.� She also said children shouldn�t be allowed to work on farms and ranches not owned by their parents.
�If they wanna have their own kids in there, go for it,� she said.
The push for tougher restrictions came at a time when fewer children are being injured on farms.
For every 1,000 U.S. farms, agriculture-related injuries to workers younger than 20 dropped by nearly half from 2001 to 2009, from 13.5 injuries to 7.2 injuries, according U.S. government figures. Injuries were most common among children ages 10 to 15, but they also dropped by nearly half during that period.
Farming groups attribute such declines to farmers� and ranchers� greater awareness of risks, but they add that it�s vital children begin farm work at an early age so safety requirements become engrained in them. Agriculture groups also note that rural children looking for summer jobs often have no option other than farm work and enhancing regulations could dampen kids� enthusiasm for becoming farmers.
�We�re the first to recognize that farming can be dangerous, but broad, sweeping intervention is not the best way to go about addressing it,� said Kristi Boswell, the congressional relations chief for the American Farm Bureau Federation, which opposed the Labor Department�s push.
Debbie Mosbacher said the proposed federal rules didn�t reflect the reality on farms, where children grow up understanding the dangers and are eased into risky chores.
She noted that for Jacob, that meant riding on the tractor in his father�s lap when he was 4 and feeding livestock when the cattle still towered over him. Last year, he started driving the riding lawnmower.
When it comes to farm kids pitching in, �a lot of times, yes, it�s a necessity,� she said. �A 10-year-old may not be able to load a 70-pound bale. But everyone�s got a job to do, and if you wait until they�re 18 to teach them it won�t be something that�s instinctive in them.�

[4.2.0-489] Putitng generated Javascript at the bottom of the page.
One of the standard recommended 'best practices' for developing JavaScript-heavy pages is to put Javascript links at the bottom of the page, whilst leaving CSS links in the <head> section. (http://developer.yahoo.com/performan...html#js_bottom)
However, with Ext 4.20 RC, you have two generated files - the generated CSS and the generated Javascript. And the build tool puts the calls in the same place of the page. This means you need to load the javascript in the <head>.
Is there anyway to get an index page that looks something like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>CssTest</title> <!-- <x-bootstrap> --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap.css"> <script src="ext/ext-dev.js"></script> <script src="bootstrap.js"></script> <!-- </x-bootstrap> --> </head> <body> <!-- <x-compile> --> <script src="app/app.js"></script> <!-- </x-compile> --> </body> </html>
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>CssTest</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/CssTest-all.css"/> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript" src="all-classes.js"></script> </body> </html>
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>CssTest</title> </head> <body> <link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/CssTest-all.css"/> <script type="text/javascript" src="all-classes.js"></script> </body> </html>

No, this is not possible besides doing it manually after the build. With all the apps I've made I don't see any performance differences as the browser can download 4 files at once. So if you have the app CSS, Ext JS core JS file and app JS file that means it should be able to download the 3 files at once with no issues.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Well, in our case we've got a couple of extra files that we download, and the all-classes.js file is big enough that it has a noticeable delay (2-4 seconds, when served from an AWS server). So putting it at the end of the page and having a 'loading' animation is worth it for us, especially as we have more delays once we get the javascript files (we do AJAX calls on load to bring down dynamic configuration data before launching the UI).
If anyone else has this issue, here's the Ant tasks I added to the build.xml to move the CSS up to the top of the page:
<target name="-after-page" depends="fix_css_location" /> <target name="fix_css_location" description="Move the CSS link from the bottom of the page to the top"> <replace file="${build.page.file}"> <replaceToken expandProperties="true"><![CDATA[<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/${app.name}-all.css"/>]]></replaceToken> <replaceValue></replaceValue> </replace> <replace file="${build.page.file}"> <replaceToken><![CDATA[<!-- REPLACE WITH CSS LINK AFTER BUILD -->]]></replaceToken> <replaceValue expandProperties="true"><![CDATA[<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/${app.name}-all.css"/>]]></replaceValue> </replace> </target>

Can someone tell me how long it was between when Job first started experiencing bad things until God turned things around for the better for Job?

This question came from our site for committed Christians, experts in Christianity and those interested in learning more.
The events of Job 1 say "in that same hour", so that chapter appears to have occurred at the same time. Job 2 occurs at the next meeting between God and the Accuser, but there is no mention of the frequency with which those occurred. But, Job 2 says:
There is nothing in the text to indicate anything other than nine speeches one after the other, followed by God's intervention. While there is clearly a gap between Job 1 and 2, really, one can only say "a little more than a week" from the text.
That said, historically, Job has been lumped not with the historical books, but rather with the Ketuvim- the "writings." Unlike say, Judges, Job has no historical dating, and does not make any claim to be a record of things that actually occurred. (And please note: I read the Bible very literally!) And, given its position in the literary section of the Bible, it is thus under no compunction to be a record of actual events. Some scholars place Job very early in ancient history.
As there is no tie to any events, it is impossible to say anything beyond the events mentioned in the book. The series of speeches would indicate some time, but beyond that, it would be like asking how long Romeo had been asleep when Juliet had her little drinking problem.
In the the Zohar (Kabbalah) Pinchas page 231a the meetings between God and the accuser are said to have taken place on the Day of Judgement, which is the Jewish new year, which would mean the meetings were every year.
i found this on Wikipedia
hence it could have been in as little as 10 days. (plus a bit).
and from testament of job chapter 5 verse 9 (link here):
i believe that is supposed to be "seven".
and from "Eduy. ii. 10" ( no clue what that is - link here )
According to biblical scholars who include James Glentworth Butler, The Bible-Work: Old Testament, Vol. 4- Job suffered approximately 60-80 years- the equivalent of our contemporary lifespan. Susequently, that time, added to 140 yrs referenced in the scripture, excluding his tribulation yrs, would mean that Job lived to be about 200 yrs old.

We've obtained a copy of Target's notorious internal anti-union propaganda video, which it shows to all new employees in America when they're hired. As far as we know, it can't be found online anywhere else.
The 13-minute video, "Think Hard Before You Sign," has the production values and cheesy dialogue of an eighth-grade educational film. It begins with an earnest discussion of Target's business agility, and, at about the 1:50 mark, the anti-union push begins in earnest. Highlights include:
- The fictional employees' assurance that "you can get more hours" without a union—although a persistent inability to get enough hours to earn a living wage is one of the prime reasons that Target employees in New York are now contemplating joining a union.
- The repeated reminders that "you have the right" to not sign a union card, pay union dues, or have a union represent you in any way, as if union-busting were a dramatic assertion of a retail employee's fundamental human rights.
- Target director of labor relations Jim Rowader's outfit and haircut. Hey there, Jim.

National Geographic in Cape Town – weekend in Cape Point
Leon Jamarie
With a passion for travel, tourism and social media, Cape Town is the quintessential backdrop for Media Developer Leon Jamarie and his cape adventures.
With the City as his canvass Leon paints the town red covering a range of events and activities in the peninsular while staying true to the traditional culture the mother city offers it's children,
Originally from Durban, Leon is still an accidental tourist in the city he now calls home and as such is on the line between resident and local tourist able to provide inside knowledge and flavour to the average mundane travel blog.
He is always on the look out for that hidden gem or typical CT party. If it's fun, relevant, he will cover it.
National Geographic's Andrew Evans, aka @WheresAndrew, continued his exploration of Cape Town this weekend making his way south to the Cape Point Nature Reserve. Friday night was spent exploring Cape Town's nightlife, before Andrew had the chance to Kayak with evironmetalist Lewis Pugh, as well as take in the wildlife and natural beauty of Cape Point and explore the white sands of Noordhoek beach on horseback. He also did not miss the chance to sample the Two Oceans restaurant's acclaimed seafood platter.
Below are images (captioned with Andrew's tweets) detailing his weekend.

For the life of me, I can't find where to add the handler in the GUI.
2 Mar 2008 8:33 AM #3
A quick example:
- Add a panel
- On this panel add a button
- Select added button
- In the grid combobox type handler
- Select in grid the handler and click to open the scripteditor
- For example add the code: function(){alert('test')}
- Apply the code and select an other item in grid to accept the enter value
- Now hit the button and you should see an alert with test
Hopes this solves your question
2 Mar 2008 8:37 AM #4
Thanks. Now I understand, works like a charm. Can we now use it to add GridPanels and TreePanels?
2 Mar 2008 11:43 AM #5
In next release we will add a grid wizard that will help you adding the needed code. Tree panel will come later
3 Mar 2008 1:08 AM #6
Its possible to add tbar/bbar in visual manner instead of scripteditor?
And a menu would be nice to
BTW: nice additions to Tof's App. Maybe you guys could act in collusion

Great work! I'm currently using a template driven system where I copy my layouts around to new applications, then tweak as needed. However, I think I might start using something like this instead.
4 Mar 2008 1:02 AM #9
This is brilliant, and will make creating skeleton systems a breeze. One thing though, would it be possible to limit the parameter list to things that are only applicable for the element highlighted?
So if I'm "styling" a particular form element, only the parameters applicable to the form element would be selectable (or in some way highlighted).
That would make things easier (instead of having to scroll through a long list of attributes, you only scroll through the ones applicable), but more importantly, it would also be an excellent learning tool, where you could become better familiar with each element and its parameters.
4 Mar 2008 1:33 PM #10
I love your work on this, it is very usable and has some cool features. The one issue I am having with it though is that I tried adding a tbar/bbar to a panel. I tried using two methods:
1st: Added the tbar config option from the combo box and clicked into the scripteditor to add it.
2nd: I clicked on the Edit JSON button and added a tbar in there.
Both methods worked initially, but as soon as I tried opening the code again it would escape out all of the tbar code and starts throwing errors. It would try and place quotes around the tbar code and add slashes. Haven't had time to look into it to see what could be causing the escaping.

Students who anticipate needing medical records from Hastings Student Health Services should request them before leaving school. If you have had any injury, acute illness, or chronic illness, it's a good idea to keep a copy of your records. You can either keep your own records until you find a new physician or have them sent directly to your MD. Women may want to have a record of their annual exams to give to their next physician. If you would like a copy of your medical records, complete a Release of Information form and return it to SHS. Medical records are kept for nine years after a student graduates. After nine years, all records are destroyed.
Including Medical Care until Insurance Termination, Short Term Health Insurance, and Certificate of Prior Health Insurance Coverage
If you are currently insured under the UC SHIP plan, your coverage ends at 11:59 p.m. on 1/10/2016 for Fall graduates or 8/7/2016 for Spring graduates. You may self refer in order to be seen by a physician over the summer months while SHS is closed.
In order to find an Anthem Blue Cross PPO provider within California please select the following prompts on the network website:
In order to find a network provider within the US (but outside California) select the PPO button under guest, and go to the next page. If searching for providers outside the US click on the BlueCard Worldwide link in the guest section.
COBRA coverage is not available for student insurance. However, students who are enrolled in UC SHIP may opt to continue the policy for a maximum of one semester after graduation.
SHS strongly encourages all students, regardless of age or health status, to arrange for some sort of short term policy. UC Hastings does not endorse any specific policies. Here are some options for you to consider:
In order to ensure a smooth transition with your next health insurance provider, you will need to provide them with a Certificate of Prior Coverage. This certificate provides proof that you have had health insurance. There must be a lapse of no more than 63 days following the termination date of UC GSHIP to qualify as continuous coverage. Graduates will automatically receive a Certificate of Prior Coverage from Anthem Blue Cross. If you have not received a certificate by September 30, 2016, call Anthem Blue Cross Customer Service (866.940.8306) to receive this document. The most common reason for not receiving the certificate is a change of address. If this is the case, make sure to tell the Anthem representative of your address change.

I'm going to start mountaineering. Is there a recommended size per height/weight for ice axes for general mountaineering?
With your hand on top of the head of the axe and holding it down by your side, the spike should come down to about your ankle. This will feel quite short, but when walking on steep ground (which you should be when taking an axe!), holding the axe in your uphill hand it will be a very useful length. Shorter is also lighter...
Ideally try and borrow one and see how you get on.
Some people prefer to have one long enough to use as a short walking stick. Others prefer to save weight and go as short as possible. In any case, it should be long enough so that you can use it properly to self-arrest. Everything else is optional.
You could rent a couple of ice axes of different sizes, go out to a steep snowy slope, and practice self-arrests to see what you're comfortable with. The practice will be valuable in itself. Keep in mind that stopping in powder, ice, and deep slush are all different experiences.
This is sourced from REI's How To Choose An Ice Axe.
As Chris mentioned, the axe should barely touch the ground when standing upright and with arms at the side. A rough guide to ice axe length is:
Too short is generally better than too long.
As AA Grapsas commented, it also depends on the type of climbing. Axes less than 60cm are generally for technical ice climbing and are best used for very steep or vertical slopes. Since they're shorter, they don't offer much leverage and are therefore bad for self arrest.
On the same note, axes over 70cm are generally too long for technical climbing, but better used for flat or lower angle slopes.
Mountaineering ice axes serve a few simple functions: self-arrest, belay, and T-anchor. (And occasionally cutting steps, but hopefully by the time you're doing that, you will already know what you like.)
For belay and T-anchors, any length of axe is fine.
For self-arrest, however, there are some factors you could consider:
So in summary, I find that (regardless of walking-stick usefulness) the best shaft length is the one between too long that it can impale my thighs, and too short that it can impale my abdomen. I generally measure this length as the diagonal from one shoulder to the hip bone on the opposite side, but you might find that this measurement varies for you.
To add a data point to the curve, I'm 6'3", and after much deliberation bought a 65cm DMM Cirque as a general winter hillwalking axe.
While I'm generally very happy with it, I'd definitely switch to a 60cm one next time. The only place where I find the extra length useful is cutting steps in descent.
Self-arrests with it are fine, but a shorter axe would be more wieldy for them.

Seat Filler: NYC Theater Guide for June 2012
The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons is an infectious delight as Elwood P. Dowd, a genial barfly with an invisible bunny buddy, in out director Scott Ellis's comely revival of Mary Chase's 1944 comedy. Parsons is a pro, more at ease than he was in The Normal Heart, but Jessica Hecht — lesbian Susan on Friends! — really knocks the dust off this chestnut as Elwood's unraveling sister, who hopes that an asylum can make her brother "normal."
Studio 54, through August 5.
Conceived by Chris Tanner and codirected by Everett Quinton and Julie Atlas Muz, this endearing but overly ambitious world premiere explores the inevitable end through an absurd mishmash of songs and sketches by New York's most notable downtown artistes. In the glittery shadow of the AIDS epidemic, Quinton and Tanner lead the jazz-funereal proceedings in campy drag as Madame Death and cancer-stricken mother to a dying son.
La MaMa's Ellen Stewart Theatre, through July 1.
The characters sure look like the Three's Company gang in out playwright David Adjmi's terrifically twisted premiere, but it cleverly plays like a Chekhovian drama about post-Vietnam anxiety with existential echoes of Sartre. Making a memorable nude entrance, As the World Turns alum Jake Silbermann stars as new roomie Brad, who copes with a grotesquely homophobic landlord while crushing on his sleazy neighbor (Eddie Cahill).
Rattlestick Theater, through July 14.
Even when cerebral chatter gives way to soapy drama, out director Moisés Kaufman can't sharpen Roundabout's dull revival of Simon Gray's predictable 1984 play about two decades of lost potential. Among the Cambridge undergrads who become frenemies while launching an elitist literary zine, Tim McGeever is a standout as the droll and erudite Humphry, a self-destructive gay man who frequents dangerous cruising spots.
Laura Pels Theatre, through July 29.
Bewitching writer-performers Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner lovingly poke fun at Pottermania as they set out to recap all seven books in the Harry Potter series in 70 minutes. The spry Brits cast a charming spell with their slapdash whirlwind of silly costumes, laughably cheap props, hilarious improv, and audience participation, but this glorified children's show would be more magical at Universal's Harry Potter theme park.
Little Shubert Theatre, open-ended.
Josh Hamilton and Tate Donovan star in Kenneth Lonergan's sprawling, sporadically hilarious comedy about 14th-century French mercenary knights on a quest for moral redemption. Papal schism, chivalry, Catherine of Siena, and even bad medieval table manners are targets for coolly anachronistic jousting in this Spamalot-like satire; unfortunately, Lonergan forcibly stretches a very smart SNL sketch into an epic affair.
The Pershing Square Signature Center, through June 24.
Lincoln Center Theater's newest space opens with the beautiful world premiere of Greg Pierce's touching two-hander about a verbose teen (Sarah Steele) who, haunted by an accident involving a learning-disabled classmate, seeks refuge with her reclusive uncle (Zeljko Ivanek) at his Costa Rican jungle retreat. You know they'll help each other confront their demons, but that journey's as sweet and spiky as their fresh rum smoothies.
Claire Tow Theater, through July 15.
An indie filmmaker threatens to expose the truth about an old friend's involvement in a mysterious murder in Alena Smith's packed but pointless drama about loyalty and machismo. Among the fine performances wasted on largely unlikable childhood buddies reunited for barbecue, beer, and barbs, Disney Channel alum Raviv Ullmann channels YouTube comedian Cole Escola as the film's gay star and brief victim of homophobia.
Second Stage Uptown, closed June 17.
In Fernanda Coppel's snappy but uneven comedy, two best girlfriends struggle with their sexual awakening — one has just been abandoned by her mother after coming out as a lesbian — while their handsome fathers, played by Teddy Cañez and Alfredo Narciso, have a secret affair. Spicy, slangy scenes between Carmen Zilles and Xochitl Romero as the girls feel authentic and fresh, but the rest of the play is overstuffed and overcooked.
Atlantic Theater Company/Stage 2, through June 24.
Feminism and gender politics get a vigorous martini-shakedown in Gina Gionfriddo's incisive comedy about academic Catherine (Private Practice's Amy Brenneman) and suburban mom Gwen, unfulfilled women who took opposite paths after grad school and now covet each other's life. As Gwen moves her maybe-gay son to Manhattan, Catherine reconnects with Gwen's husband, a pothead porn-addict played by Oz's Lee Tergesen.
Playwrights Horizons, through July 1.
See last month's New York theater review column here.

Black Friday has come and gone. Now it's Small Business Saturday.
Businesses in the City of Scottsville were in the Christmas spirit with many of them offering exclusives for the special day.
"Everybody tries to offer a little something for everybody and just local people come together to visit and shop. It's just a good day for everybody," says Shelia Fulks, Owner of Neatful Things.
Darla Graves, Owner of The Sweet Life, was able to join forces with a local photographer as Santa Clause himself paid a visit. She says the extras offered on Small Business Saturday bring in a new line of customers.
"Days like today and next Saturday people will come in they will want to get candy to take to people and a lot of times they keep telling us they don't know we are a cafe," says Graves.
Many customers who shopped Saturday are looking for one of a kind gifts. Gifts you can't find in the long lines of Black Friday.
"I love Christmas and I love to collect Santa Clauses and snowmen and I like to visit unique little shops like this to find the different Santas and snowmen that they do have," says Gloria Lyles.
That special Christmas cheer is what merchants hope will continue to drive business.
"That's very important that people do come out and see what is up here in Scottsville because we are important to the community because people like to shop at these little stores because they can't anywhere else," says Blanche Carter, Owner of Today's Fashions & Home Decor.
Although it was Small Business Saturday, business owners encourage consumers to shop local everyday.

Ext.fc.fuzzyDate - a nice way to present date and time
The FuzzyDate plugin was inspired by the TimeAgo plugin for jQuery . I needed something similar for ExtJs. Since i didn't find it I decided to build one for ExtJs.
The ideia is instead of showing a timestamp to the user show a more friendly message like one hour ago or 3 months from now
- Updates timestamps automatically, avoiding timestamps dated "1 minute ago" even though the page was opened 10 minutes ago
- Multiple languages supported
- Fully Customizable
- You can define several date formats that will be used to convert the date string to an Ext Date object
- if don't need automatic updates neither want to have it atached to an element you can simply get the translated date with the translate() function

is options a required parameter when use translate()?

Hi Dumbledore,
options should be optional
just add this after line 175
if(!options) options = processOptions({}) ;
28 Jul 2009 8:47 AM #9
is it possible to make a config a la:
show me fuzzydates about now - 3 month, else show normal dates?
Bye, Dumbledore
4 Aug 2009 8:40 PM #10
i change the translate function to this:
, translate: function(str, options) { var opt = {}; Ext.apply(opt, options, processOptions({})); var d = parseDate(str, opt.dateFormats); if (d) { return (dateTimeToString(d, opt)); } else { if (opt.onErrorWriteTitle) return (str); } return false; }
Perhaps it helps...
Bye Dumbledore

MINGO JUNCTION - Senior Sierra Porter scored five goals to lead the Steubenville girls' soccer team to a 7-4 victory over host Indian Creek Saturday afternoon on the opening day of the season.
"It is very nice to start the season with a win," fourth-year Big Red (1-0) head coach Jared Robinson said. "We had a hard week with three scrimmages due to scheduling. It was nice to get a win on the first day of the season. It is nice to get a victory under our belts, especially against a team from our area. Indian Creek played very hard. They represented their school very well.
"We had a couple of letdowns when we got up, and they were able to capitalize. They were not going to quit and they were going to continue to play hard.
"We passed the ball well. We moved well."
The Redskins are a young and inexperienced team.
"We have 20 girls out, 12 of them are freshmen and 10 have never played organized soccer before," first-year Indian Creek head coach Gene Ciciarelli said. "This is a learning experience for them. We had good spacing. We did what we needed to do.
"We have to learn to kick with a purpose. They are going to get it."
Ciciarelli was an assistant coach last year under former head coach Jessica Bennett.
"This is different from basketball and softball, but I have really fallen in love with the sport," Ciciarelli said.
Big Red's seven goals is a team-high since Robinson has been head coach.
"That is a new one for us," Robinson said. "I am very proud of the girls.
"We were up, and they scored. We responded to score in the next three minutes. That shows we are able to respond with goals when teams score on us, and it shows the girls have the attitude to not get down."
Porter tallied a hat trick in the first half as Big Red built a 4-1 advantage at halftime. Porter collected two more in the second half.
"I definitely was not expecting to score five goals going into the game," Porter said. "I have a lot of good girls to back me up. They have a lot of speed, and they are athletic. I think we can go far. I think we can go farther than we did last season."
Porter's five goals are almost the most a player has scored in a game since Robinson has been head coach.
"I think our highest has been four," Robinson said. "I think two girls have scored four."
Also for the victors, junior Marissa Howcroft contributed a goal and an assist, sophomore Emma Cotter netted a goal and junior Hannah Masloski added an assist. Sophomore goalie Gillian Haught tallied two saves.
"It was a team effort," Robinson said. "We improved on what we needed to improve on. We want to improve every day.
"The girls represented the school well. They represented the school the way they are supposed to."
Freshman Madelyn Yoho netted two goals for Indian Creek at Muth Field. Classmate Kelsey Lewis scored one as did senior Jalyn Thompson. Thompson also delivered an assist as did classmate Marissa DeFallo. Freshman Katie Scott collected eight saves in goal. Playing as a defender, Thompson collected one when he cleared a ball off of the line in the second half.
"I'm happy," Ciciarelli said. "The girls played as a team. The girls communicated well. They supported each other. They didn't yell at each other. They showed good sportsmanship today.
"We battled against a respectable team today."
Howcroft put Big Red on the scoreboard when she scored on a direct kick about four minutes into the contest making the score 1-0. Porter produced the final three goals of the half for the visitors.
Porter scored her first goal about 21 minutes into the game increasing Big Red's lead to 2-0, and she tallied another goal about a minute later.
Yoho put Indian Creek on scoreboard with a goal about 30 minutes into the first half to cut the hosts deficit to 3-1.
The Redskins are going to rely on their older and more experienced players to lead the way for the younger and less experienced ones.
"We lost eight seniors last year," Ciciarelli said. "I don't look at this year as a rebuilding year. The girls are really starting to enjoy soccer. They really want to do well. You can see it in their eyes.
"Hopefully, all 12 stay. We have about eight good eighth graders who will be coming into the program next year. The future looks bright, Lord willing.
"I am excited."
Big Red regained the three-goal advantage when Porter struck again about three minutes before halftime.
Indian Creek and Big Red both tallied goals in the first four minutes of the second half. The Redskins struck first with a goal three minutes in to make the score 4-2, but Big Red answered right back one minute later to regain a three-goal lead for the third time in the game.
Big Red extended its lead to 6-2 four minutes later.
Trailing by four, the Redskins responded by scoring the next two goals to make the score 6-4. The first goal came on a penalty kick about 15 minutes into the second stanza, and Indian Creek netted another 16 minutes later to cut its deficit to two goals.
"We were down 6-2, and we scored two goals to make it 6-4," Ciciarelli said. "If we scored the next goal, who knows what would have happened.
"Big Red capitalized on some mistakes. They made some nice plays when they needed to."
Big Red capped the scoring about four minutes later.
"Coach Chick is doing a good job with the Indian Creek girls," Robinson said. "They really battled."
Indian Creek welcomes Beaver Local at 5 p.m. Monday, while Big Red entertains Cambridge at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Bear with me here. This is going to be one of those "out there" posts. But Steve Randy Waldman takes an interesting stab at a problem I've been wrestling with, at least in the furthest reaches of the financial corner of my brain, since the financial crisis began.
And that is how to stimulate the economy without creating another asset bubble. It sounds easy enough to the Keynesians, but as Waldman has pointed out before, rebooting aggregate demand through traditional government action may simply create another bubble. And ultimately, the distinction between monetary and fiscal policy may be moot.

EDIT: I should have mentioned the page I'm talking about.
On a page that's just one humongous table, I have an img in each <th> that tells the user how the column is sorted; and he can click the thing to toggle the polarity of the sort.
Until now, I've used a stylized arrowhead: for ascending sort. I have the idea that this is pretty much accepted practice.
But that's always bothered me: it takes me a moment to remember that up-arrow means ascending; and that ascending means small-to-big. So I'm using another graphic now: for ascending.
Likewise for a descending sort: it used to be , now it's .
Does anybody see any kind of UX problem with these two new images?

Sheesh! Finally! I have been practicing my famous "death of a thousand papercuts" karate technique, and every time I accidentally hit myself, I end up spending a fortune on bandages. No more, my friends.
This would be my lifetime supply of bandages.
Sweet! A weeks supply of bandages! (I hurt myself a lot.)
Even 3/4" x 3" is barely long enough. What possible good are all the smaller sizes? So for me, this translates to 200 bandages for $9.00. :-( Much cheaper at WalMart.
DRAT! The box says "Comfortable bandages", personally, I only buy "Uncomfortable Bandages". Pass.
Any adult who uses those teeny spot bandages is a wimp.
I don't know how, but I read that as "1000 Bagels! $9". I was excited >.>
LOL! I posted these last week but the link no longer took you to this item and it appeared that I had just imagined the entire thing. Maybe it was just my psychic prediction of this deal!
Hopefully they're not "refurbished"
@crowbite: Sorry someone downvoted you, but I agree. The 3/4x3" size is normal band-aid size. The "junior" size and "spot" sizes are completely worthless. Even for a child.
Not to mention I highly prefer the cloth band-aids to this plasticy stuff. Seems to bend and stick MUCH better. Costco has 100 packs of the fabric 3/4x3" size for under $5.
@mdog0202: Thanks for a true loud LOL! :-D
Coverlet brand bandages are the best in my opinion. They're the ones my school buys in bulk, and then I started buying them at home.

Courtesy of Toh-Atin Gallery
Business owners are on the alert after an older woman allegedly stole a sterling silver buffalo sculpture Saturday from the Toh-Atin Gallery.
The Native American woman entered the gallery Saturday afternoon with two young kids who distracted the saleswoman on duty. The kids asked the employee to show them the bathroom, and the woman stole the sculpture, said Ray Shupe, spokesman for the Durango Police Department.
�These kids were obviously told to just raise hell,� said Jackson Clark, owner of the gallery. �They were running all over grabbing expensive things.�
The employee noticed the sculpture was missing about an hour after the theft and told Clark it has disappeared after going through sales records.
Clark saw the woman put the $2,100 sculpture in her purse on video footage taken from a security camera in the gallery.
Clark said he thinks the same woman stole a concho belt from the gallery last year, but he doesn�t have proof because the security cameras were set up after the first theft.
�I�ve seen her around Durango, and she�s very nice, very pleasant,� he said. �You�d never suspect that this person is a thief.�
The Durango Business Improvement District sent an email to local business owners warning them to be on the lookout for the woman and included a still shot of the woman taken from the video footage.
Clark said he�s going to schedule an additional sales person to work during slow hours in response to the theft.
�I just want to help prevent other losses,� he said. �I realize the chances of getting (the sculpture) back are really, really slim.�

I'm looking for a book with the description of basic types of graphs, terminology used in this field of Mathematics and main theorems. All in all, a good book to start with to be able to understand other more complicated works.
Diestel's book is not exactly light reading but it's thorough, current and really good. Also in the GTM series is Bollobas' book which is very good as well, and covers somewhat different ground with a different angle (Diestel emphasizes the forcing relationships between various invariants which is a nice unifying theme).
There are hundreds of other introductory texts, but I would go with one of these two (or both).
Introduction to Graph Theory by D.B. West. The book homepage is maintained by the author. Well written, with plenty of exercises.
The classic Graph Theory with Applications by Bondy and Murty is available online.
Robin Wilson's Introduction to Graph Theory is very easy to read - I read it over a weekend. I definitely recommend you give this a quick read before plunging into Bondy and Murty, Diestel or West.
Graphs & digraphs by Gary Chartrand and Linda Lesniak is very well written. The organization is nice and the proofs are very clear. Moreover the exercises are concrete and to the point.
1) Harary's book is great - and he's a hoot.
2) Ringel and Hartsfield's Pearl in Graph Theory is great, lovable and has lots of pictures and excellent exercises - ideal for an undergrad class that's not geared towards prepping students towards a grad course.
3) Gross and Yellen's book is probably the best introduction if you're a "mature" math reader and want to really learn stuff - this is what I would buy.
4) Applied Combinatorics by Tucker is phenomenal - but graph theory is only 4 chapters out of 11. Nonetheless, I'd strongly consider this one.
Pearls in Graph Theory: A Comprehensive Introduction by Nora Hartsfield and Gerhard Ringel. This is a great introductory book and is one of the better dover books out there in my opinion.
There are lots of terrific graph theory books now, most of which have been mentioned by the other posters so far. I would particularly agree with the recommendation of West; one of the most complete and well-written texts there are.
But to me, the most comprehensive and advanced text on graph theory is Graph Theory And Applications by Johnathan Gross and Jay Yellen. Crystal clear, great problems and contains probably the best chapter on topological graph theory there is in any source by 2 experts in the field. It's pricey, but well worth it.
And of course, anything by Bollobas is beautiful. The problem with Bollobas, though, is that it treats graph theory as pure mathematics while the books by Gross/Yellen and West have numerous applications. Like linear algebra, the applications of graph theory are nearly as important as its underlying theory.
I know only one book on graph theory, Wagner, Bodendieck "Graphentheorie". It contains detailed introductions of the basic concepts and theorems and independent chapters on interesting special topics, the 3dr vol. is independent and on games, many exercises.
Who dislikes that may comment, because I use it for tutoring, math-circle-like groups etc.
I heard good things about Combinatorics and Graph Theory by Harris, Hirst and Mossinghoff (Springer Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics).
It's easier to read than Diestel or Bollobas, but not dumbed down. But of course, it's neither thorough nor exhaustive.
graph-theory-algorithms-book A GNU-FDL book on algorithmic graph theory by David Joyner, Minh Van Nguyen, and Nathann Cohen.
Hajnal Péter, ''Gráfelmélet'' (Polygon, Szeged, 1997) is a very good introduction to graph theory.
Different peoples need different introduction. If anyone want a light weight smooth reading I'll recommend Wilson. Although it is easy read, it'll take you even to the matroids.
If anyone want a proof based intro, research paper like, then West is the best choice. Diestel, Harary are to some extent for intermediate/advanced readers.
Some encyclopedic resources are Handbook of Graph Theory, Handbook of Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics, and are easy read.
By any means bondy-murty ranks first, assumed that readers are not below average.

Next: Moon Taxi
Every week, World Cafe recommends a new artist on the rise.
- "All The Rage"
- "Southern Trace"
- "Mercury"
Based in Nashville, Tenn., Moon Taxi formed in 2006 on the campus of Belmont University, and released its debut album, Melodica, the following year. The band spent the next few years winning over fans through festival performances and writing material for this year's Cabaret. A departure from the jam-rock sound of Melodica, Cabaret mixes electronic, hip-hop and soul music — inspired in part by Philip Glass, The Beatles, Radiohead and movie director Quentin Tarantino.

Many recent recipes I'm seeing for bread, this one for example, are using a strech and fold technique rather than a traditional knead. Whats the advantage here? It sure seems to work, but I'm not sure why it works well with so much less work.
The purpose of all kneading techniques is the same: as @rumtscho wrote, to stretch and align strands of gluten.
The traditional kneading method is to fold the mass of dough on itself, press it together with the palm of the hand, turn, and repeat.
With very high hydration doughs this is impossible because the dough will hopelessly adhere to the hands. The technique is, therefore, modified to reduce hand contact with the dough as much as possible.
A dough scraper is used to gather and fold the dough which is laid over on itself instead of being pressed. The result is the same as normal kneading but only the fingertips come in contact with the dough. After just a few turns the gluten sheets will align and the dough will still be tender but much less sticky.
As for why it seems more effective I can only conjecture. Gluten forms in the presence of water. Higher hydration doughs allow for faster gluten development. It is not that the folding is more effective but that kneading very wet doughs progresses faster.
First of all, a traditional knead is stretch-and-fold. I don't know what you were taught, but the technique my grandma taught me is:
While this uses less force than the video you linked, and makes smaller folds, it is still folding.
Second, you asked why. This being dough, it is all about gluten.
What you want to achieve is to unfold the proteins forming the gluten and orient them in the same direction, making them parallel to each other and creating lots of end-to-end bonds (as opposed to cross bonds). The nice side effect is that you aerate the dough, trapping miniature air bubbles into it. This results in a fine, even crumb.
There is a beautiful illustration of this in On Food and Cooking. One look at it, and you know why you should stretch and fold.
Stretch-and-fold often works better with less effort because it is done periodically (as in the recipe linked in the question, where you do a stretch-and-fold every 45 minutes over a few hours).
The molecules that make up gluten strands take a certain period of time to align. By waiting for the gluten to form nice networks of strands, you can then stretch them to their greatest extent, which will add strength to the dough. By waiting a period of time again, you allow even more bonds to form, which you then stretch out and extend to add strength.
Compare this to traditional kneading, where you mix the dough and then pound, stretch, and fold for 5-15 minutes immediately. The gluten has barely been hydrated and it's only beginning to form networks. That's why a lot of recipes recommend an autolyze strategy, where you wait at least 15 minutes after mixing the liquid before kneading. By doing so, you allow the gluten to hydrate more fully, and you generally cut your kneading time in half (or even less).
Periodic stretch-and-folds just act like repeated versions of this autolyze strategy. In most bread recipes, you can generally get away with avoiding kneading altogether -- just mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed and there's no dry flour. Then, just do 2-4 stretch-and-folds spread out during the first rise. The required number will depend on the type of dough.
Stretch-and-folds actually are a great way to monitor your dough during the first rise too. You can periodically check the texture and make sure it's actually developing enough elasticity -- if not, add in another stretch-and-fold at some point. If the dough is getting too strong (sometimes if the gluten network gets too tight, it can actually hold back the final proof and oven spring), do fewer.
The "stretch then wait" strategy is also similar to the "bench rest" often done before final shaping. Again, many recipes recommend doing a few stretches and preshaping maneuvers after the first rise, then letting your dough rest for 10-20 minutes before doing the final shaping. Essentially, you're doing a stretch-and-fold of the gluten, then letting it "relax," and then stretching it again once even more connections have formed. If you're not doing that before final shaping, you're probably not getting the highest rise you could. Doing it periodically over the first rise will add a huge amount of extra strength to the dough -- generally much more than you'd get even with an extensive initial knead.
One other technical note: initial kneading (and particularly mechanical mixing) introduces oxygen into the dough, which will actually contribute to the destruction of some flavor components in the final bread. It's a relatively minor effect, but substituting stretch-and-fold maneuvers instead of a long knead will introduce less oxygen into the dough initially, which can make a slight flavor improvement on the final loaf.
As other answers have mentioned, with really sticky high-hydration doughs, stretch-and-folds are often the only way to "knead" the dough. But there's really no reason why not to do stretch-and-folds with most bread doughs during the first rise. I frequently do this rather than kneading a lot at the outset (which, frankly, isn't really efficient), particularly with tough heavy doughs like whole-grain or multigrain breads.

text: Here is another one of my Pokemon tutorials that I've been practicing. This is also a request from my friend, jlong! Arceus is easily ranked as one of the top most rare Pokemon ever created. You can only obtain one in Pokemon Diamond, Pearl or Platinum. It is originally a normal type Pokemon, but changes type depending on what type pf 'plate' it is holding. (EX: Fire plate > fire type) This is the only Pokemon with this unique ability. And it's a normal type, so it can dish out moves of any other type, giving it a great threshold of moves that are available. It's National Pokedex number is #493. Enjoy this tutorial! :D

Alberding Wins First Night Of King Of The West Kart Race At CGS; Grimes, Stere, Roles, And Hibbard Also Victorious
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Dirt Monkey Production)
Despite some showers earlier in the day the Cottage Grove Speedway was able to complete all of the scheduled events on Saturday August 30th. It would be the first night of the King Of The West Kage Kart event and the first time the prestigious race has been held at CGS. Good car counts were on tap as well as some great racing action.
Making her Cottage Grove Speedway debut Kiersten Hibbard of Medford would seize the lead on the opening lap in the Pee Wee main event in her C&H Motorsports/Dave's Carpet & Liquidators/Tangible Real Estate Investments #48G QRC. Hibbard would lose the lead around lap three though to fellow Medford pilot Trevor Grimes. Grimes would lead the remainder of the distance to pick up the feature win in the Grimes Racing #100 RFC.
Coos Bay's Jayden Trupp was second in his Dave Foote Motorsports/Nexdor Tobacco & More/Trupp Family Race Team #72 QRC entry followed by Kiersten Hibbard. The Froggy's Towing/Bigg Dogg Recycling/Opie Motorsports #28J QRC of Joshua Baker from Eugene was fourth and in fifth Nikolas Lundquist of Cottage Grove in his Horner's Inc. #88 QRC.
In 5HP action Isaac Stere from Cottage Grove would lead the entire distance. Stere would keep back all challengers, even in the final circuits, to collect his first win of the 2014 for him and the Stere Racing #32S QRC team.
Austin Sause, also of Cottage Grove, was a close second in his Wheeless Trailer Sales/Cooper's Pest Control/Umpqua Survival/Central Coast Vacuums #7 QRC while the Riggs Racing #32R Hubbard of Eugene's Seth Riggs crossed the wire in third. Ashleigh Strain, making the long haul from Brookings, would place fourth in her Bauer Auto Body/Eugene Sky Divers/DsignZ Signs & Graphics/Freeman Rock #32A QRC and in fifth would be Abby Ellison of Roseburg in the Gibson Taxidermy/Seven Feathers Casino/HighLine Image & Design #8A QRC.
Kyle Roles, out of Lebanon, would lead every single lap of the 125cc main event to collect his third win of the campaign at CGS. The Knothole Market/Big Sky Landscaping/Scofield Karts & Parts/Clayton's Cornwell Tools #02 QRC, of Roles, would keep back a hard charging Conner Hanson. Creswell's Conner Hanson was second in his Hanson Contract Cutting/SKS Racing/BC Motorsports/DT Motorsports/Horner's Inc. #55H QRC followed by the Destiney Smith Motorsport #18S QRC of Destiney Smith from Sutherlin in third.
Bailey Hibbard of Medford was on a mission in 250cc action. Hibbard, in the C&H Motorsports/Dave's Carpet & Liquidators/Tangible Real Estate Investments #1 QRC, would dominate the main event and find the winner's circle for the third time in 2014.
A.J. Harbaugh from McKenzie Bridge was the runner-up in his RFC Karts/Rocket Designs/Redline Racing/Double R Powdercoating #18H RFC and in third the Goss Family Racing #21 SKE of Eugene's Alex Goss. The rest of the top five would consist of Cottage Grove native Michael Cooper, driving for Kart owner Steven Horner in the Horner's Inc. #10H QRC, coming home fourth and the Goss Family Racing #22 QRC of Eugene's Tyler Goss in fifth.
Last but not least the Open Kage main event would see some great racing. Despite several cautions in the first few laps a long green flag run would be produced. Matt Moberly of Central Point was the early race leader in his Reser's Fine Foods/RFC Karts #19 RFC. Moberly would lose the lead to David Lyons of Roseburg, in the Independent Motor Rebuilders/Grandma Enterprises/Puppy Love Treats/HighLine Image & Design #98 QRC, but the two would collide exiting turn four. The result would leave Lyons with a flat right rear tire and Moberly retaining the lead.
As the lap count continued to get worked Moberly would lose the lead with less than ten laps remaining. Overtaking the top spot was Cottage Grove's Jake Ferguson in his Comfort Suites of Salem/Quantum Chassis/Dragonflydecals.com #22J QRC machine. Ferguson looked to be the mount to beat but as lapped traffic came into the picture it definitely made things interesting.
Ferguson, Moberly, and Winston teenager Kyle Alberding would battle for the lead for several laps including making it three-wide on a couple of occasions. Ferguson would lead the white flag lap only to get collected with a lapped car on the final corner. Kyle Alberding would lead the last forty or so feet and win his first race at CGS in 2014 in the Eoff Electric Supply/WSK Machine #76 QRC.
Matt Moberly was a respectable second while in the third would be the Whit-Log Trailers/Oregon Tool & Supply/Mufflers And More #8S QRC of Roseburg's Brady Senger. The balance of the top five would be made up of Spencer Desbiens from Dallas in his Desbiens Racing #2D QRC in fourth and Lebanon native Austin Jones in fifth piloting his Burke's Metal Recycling/The Knothole Market #7 QRC.
The second night of the 2014 King Of The West Kage Kart race will start a little bit earlier on Sunday August 31st. Pill Draw will close at 3:45 PM and the Pit Meeting will be held at 4:00 PM with Hot Laps and Racing to follow. As always for Kart events General Admission is FREE.

HealthCare.gov Tries to Reboot
A Functioning Website Is Critical for Year-End Application Rush
The main website for buying coverage under the federal health-insurance overhaul has itself gotten an overhaul, just in time for a rush of shoppers eager to have coverage in effect on Jan. 1.
The site, HealthCare.gov, has undergone extensive work since its glitch-plagued Oct. 1 launch. The Obama administration pledged to improve its functioning by Nov. 30. In a statement on Dec. 3, the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, the federal agency responsible for the site, lauded a new average page-response time of under one second, down from eight seconds at launch, and an "uptime"—when the system is functioning—of approximately 90%, compared with 42% in the past.
Nancy Metcalf, senior editor for health at Consumer Reports, says it is hearing from users that the site is much improved. "It's helping people who were getting stuck, and there are a lot of useful new features," she says. "It really is tremendously better than it was."
The new features, the government says, include a more robust window-shopping experience that allows consumers to see detailed information about available plans, without applying or logging in. Consumers can also remove old applications they may have had trouble filling out, and start over.
It won't be perfect, and the administration acknowledges that. "While we strive to innovate and improve our outreach and systems for reaching consumers, we believe we have met the goal of having a system that will work smoothly for the vast majority of users," said Jeff Zients, the management consultant tapped by the administration to fix the site, in a Dec. 1 progress report. This month the Health and Human Services Department hopes the system can accommodate 800,000 visits a day.
If you're preparing to enroll, you have a bit more time than you might have thought. The administration recently extended the deadline to sign up for 2014 coverage from Dec. 15 to Dec. 23. That will make a difference for individuals who need coverage to take effect on Jan. 1. Remember not just to sign up for coverage but also to pay your premium by Dec. 31 if you want it to take effect by New Year's.
Your coverage needn't be effective Jan. 1 for you to avoid the tax penalty levied on individuals who don't have health insurance next year. As long as you buy a policy by March 31, you'll satisfy that requirement, even if the policy didn't take effect on New Year's Day. Under the health law, policies sold to individuals must meet a new set of standards including free preventive care and maternity coverage.
Most states are using the federal government website, but not all: Check HealthCare.gov to find out if your state is running its own marketplace. The deadlines will be the same on most of the state-run marketplaces.
There are a couple more dates to keep in mind if you plan to wait until 2014 to get covered. If you buy a policy between the first and 15th day of the month, your coverage begins on the first day of the following month. If you enroll between the 16th and last day of the month, your policy takes effect the first day of the second following month. In either case you have to pay your premium for coverage to take effect.
After March 31, though, you can buy new insurance only if you have a major change in circumstances: A divorce, for instance, or the birth of a child. Open enrollment will begin again on Nov. 15, 2014.
If you're still having trouble signing up online, there are other ways to apply. One is by calling 1-800-318-2596, HealthCare.gov's help line. Another option: file a paper application or locate in-person help in your state. You can also go to an insurance broker or directly to an insurer, though be aware that those vendors don't have to give you impartial information.
Another tip: Even if you don't complete your application online, set up an account with an email address, suggests Cheryl Fish-Parcham, health-policy director at Families USA, a health-care not-for-profit. That way, you can get updates on how well the system is working and potentially return to finish your application.
Using HealthCare.gov at off hours—say, early in the morning or late at night—could also help should the site be slowing down again.
To stay up to date on the functioning of the site, monitor the Health and Human Services Department's blog at https://www.healthcare.gov/blog/.

Answered: Adding child item with renderTo
I have a component which defines some HTML. I'd like to render an Ext.Button inside one of the HTML elements, and have it treated as a child of the component. Is this possible?
I'm doing something like this:
Ext.define('MyComponent', { extend: 'Ext.Container', xtype: 'myComponent', config: { html: '

' }, initialize: function() { this.callParent(arguments); var renderEl = this.element.down('.renderEl'); this.add({ xtype: 'button', renderTo: renderEl text: 'Sample' }); } });
If I use Ext.create instead of this.add, it renders it inside the right element, but it's not treated as a child component. As a result, I can't find the button in a component query like "myComponent button".
You could append the button to your element.
var renderEl = this.element.down('.renderEl'), button = this.add({ xtype: 'button', text: 'Sample' }); renderEl.appendChild(button.element);

Thanks, that worked perfectly!
I was able to define the button element in the component's "config" array, just like I would normally do with a container. Then in initialize, I just used this.getComponent to get a reference to it.
Also, I changed "this.element.down" to "this.getInnerHtmlElement().down", so that it would only look in the html block for the render element.

I use Ubuntu 12.04.
I have a good PC , a Dell XPS, with 8 GB of memory and a 1TB HDD and an i5 processor.
When I copy files internally (to and from the internal HDD), nautilus initially shows speeds of about 30 Mb/s. But, the problem is, it always, keeps dropping by 0.1 Mb/s at a time (every 5 seconds or so), till it stabilizes at around 1Mb/s (if the copying isn't finished already).
I'm trying to backup my PC into a 1TB WD My Passport external HDD (USB 3.0). It started at 36 Mb/s and is now 8Mb/s in 15 minutes and still falling regularly. I have around a 100 GB of data to copy and it doesn't seem it will happen.
Any ideas about the problem?
While I couldn't really find out what caused th problem, using a tool like

Sebastian Werk's answer helped too, but it doesn't tell what caused it.
