"Behindert" is perfectly fine.
It's often good to qualify the kind of handicap by saying "geistig behindert" or "körperlich behindert" (in your case the first). If you don't and there is no further indication, I'd say most people assume the former which might be incorrect.
(Geistig) behindert is the correct term but somewhat blunt. Be aware that, as with "retarded", it is also used as an insult. Wikipedia says the correct medical term is mentale Retardierung, but nobody uses that.
Maybe it'll go the same way Idiot has gone in both English and German: From a diagnosis to a pure insult. Unlike English, German doesn't have a widely-accepted PC substitute for geistig behindert (yet?).
You might sometimes hear entwicklungsverzögert for mentally retarded children, though that might have slightly different meaning.
The special term for this is mentale Retardierung (that is what a physician would use). But most people use geistig behindert, mental beeinträchtigt or geistig zurückgeblieben. Also gehandicapt is possible, but colloquial. kognitiv beeinträchtigt or kognitiv behindert is possible, but is not used very often.
During my education as what I would translate to social assistant we had to call disabled people of every kind sozial benachteiligt. This sounds a bit odd for me, but this seems to be the political correct way to avoid everything that could have an insulting meaning.
Depending on the cause of mental retardation there are also other terms possible. fzwo's suggestion entwicklungsverzögert is only appopriate if the cause lies in a delayed child developement. If you got injured and are disabled because of that, this term is not used. If the intelligence (IQ) is reduced you can say miderbegabt. A person who has difficulties in learning, i.e. somebody with dyslexia, you call lernbehindert or lernschwach.
Most people don't care so much about what is politically correct an use "geistig behindert". When it comes to being involved in any way, e.g. personally or as a family member, people tend to use phrases that would not point to the fact, like "beeinträchtigt" or even only "anders". In professional contexts we place emphasis on the eductional needs with phrases like "Mensch mit einer Behinderung" or "jemand hat Förderbedarf im Bereich geistige Entwicklung".

Necrotic Tumor
Last Modified: January 24, 2012
My doctor said that my tumor was the same size on the CT scan, but that it looked "necrotic" and he said this was a good thing. How could it be good if my tumor didn't get smaller since starting chemo?
Christine Hill-Kayser, MD, Radiation Oncologist, responds:
Necrosis is another way of saying that the tumor cells look as if they are dying. This is indeed a good thing because it implies that the chemotherapy has killed many of the cells within the tumor.

(COLUMBIA, Mo.) -- Citing a desire to invest in education in the State of Missouri, the Citi Foundation recently provided a grant of $50,000 to the Missouri Colleges Fund (MCF), of which Columbia College is a member school.
The grant will underwrite a $3,125 Citi Outstanding Teachers scholarship at each of the 16 MCF member schools. Scholarships will be awarded by member schools on the basis of financial need.
"Columbia College is grateful to the Citi Foundation and the Missouri Colleges Fund for this gift," said Dr. Gerald Brouder, president. "This contribution recognizes the importance of education and the significant impact that an educated workforce has on Missouri's economy."
Formed in 1952, the MCF is a non-profit corporation whose mission is to acquire resources to help educate students in private liberal-arts colleges and universities. For more information about the Missouri Colleges Fund, visit www.mocollegesfund.org or call Mike Backer, MCF president, at (573) 893-3818.
Columbia College, a private institution founded in 1851 in Columbia, Mo., educates 25,000 students each year and has more than 61,000 alumni.

If Alice (sender) sends a private message embedded with public key of the Bob(recipient) through onion network, so in this key exchange, does Bob remains anonymous to Alice as Alice knows about the public key of Bob. So if we want to achieve mutual anonymity, how can we do that? Can we achieve mutual anonymity through this key exchange?
You could cheat and use different keys for each recipient. That would work assuming the recipients don't know each other (and cannot compare keys).
Mix networks are by design hard to trace so it depends on the network.
It is important to note that public key cryptography doesn't guarantee anonymity or privacy or protection from identification. It's not designed for it. It just protects a message. Tor has managed to do a decent job at protecting two parties who wish to talk to each other and is reasonably mature but mutual anonymity really depends on the (onion) network Alice and Bob are using - not on the PK scheme.
If Alice didn't know who Bob was before, she still doesn't. All she knows is that she communicated with someone who has the private key corresponding with that public key, which presumably is the reason Bob has a public key.

CAPITOL HILL (CNN) - Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, in an exclusive television interview with CNN on Monday, denied claims that he had engaged in parties with prostitutes during trips to the Dominican Republic.
"The bottom line is all those smears are absolutely false," Menendez told CNN Chief Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash on Capitol Hill.
The New Jersey Democrat is also battling allegations of improper travel with a generous donor whose plane he took to the Dominican Republic and who has business ties in the Caribbean nation.
Shortly before Election Day, a conservative online publication cited three unidentified sources who claimed Menendez had flown on private planes to the Caribbean and during the trips had sex parties with prostitutes.
Menendez, however, fired back on Monday and called the prostitute allegations "unsubstantiated."
"The smears that right-wing blogs have been pushing since the election - and that is totally unsubstantiated and it's amazing to me that anonymous, nameless, faceless individuals on a web site can drive that type of story into the mainstream," he said.
"But that's what they've done successfully. Now nobody can find them. No one ever met them. No one ever talked to them but that's where we're at," he added.
His comments came as one of the women accused of being a prostitute involved with Menendez denied those claims in a Spanish-language interview released on Monday. The woman, identified as 21-year-old Yaneisi Fernandez, says she's never met Menendez or worked as a prostitute.
"I've never participated in those activities, I don't know those people or that man," Fernandez told Univision. CNN is not able to verify Fernandez's story.
As for the other allegations, Menendez has faced scrutiny for taking multiple flights in 2010 with the donor, Dr. Salomon Melgen, a South Florida ophthalmologist. However, he didn't pay for the flights-valued at $58,500-until January 4th of this year. Asked Monday why it took so long to repay the money, Menendez said he was having a busy year and chalked it up to an oversight.
"I was in a big travel schedule in 2010 as the chair of the (Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee), plus my own campaign getting ready for a re-election cycle and in the process of all of that, it unfortunately fell through the cracks," he told CNN.
"When it came to my attention that payment had not taken place, I personally paid for them in order to meet my obligation," he added.
Pressed further on how he managed to overlook such a big chunk of money, Menendez said, "The bottom line is when it came to my attention, I paid for it."
"There were a series of flights that were alleged," he continued. "Several of them were shown not to be the case, but after the election when I got to look at the allegations and I did my own self-inspection, I ultimately came forward. As a matter of fact, one of those flights I self reported."
Another issue has to do with whether Menendez advocated on Capitol Hill on behalf of ICSSI - a port security company in which Melgen has a stake. The company had a contract to screen cargo that went through Dominican ports, but Menendez argued last July during a Senate subcommittee hearing that Dominican authorities didn't want to "live by" the contract.
Asked if he used his influence to help Melgen, he said: "I have always advocated for issues and I have advocated for policies, and that's what I have done across the board."
(CNN's Jim Acosta, Adriana Hauser, Alan Duke, Kevin Liptak and Ashley Killough contributed to this report.)

Mashinka If you had known what this production contained would you have still gone to see it? And was there any warning of it's content beforehand. If it had been looked at by Ther Board of Censors, you may have been spared the experience and a spoilt evenings entertainment. I think that cenorship is valid, it provides information in the sense of Codes and suitability, which allow people to make their own choices. Watch if you want or decline.
Censorship does not 'provide information', it censors things--which means prohibits certain ones, at least on the planet I live on. 'Watch if you want or decline' is what most of the rest of us are saying--a review can tell you that, or you can talk to people and find out. Censorship is something else. Some of dearest friends, including both of my sisters, would have totally freaked out if they'd seen this, but that's their problem, I tell them about these things so they can keep on with their sense of 'Southern-belle spotless women' that they are so into. I don't know why anybody would choose such a narrow view, but that is their business. Forget it for me, though, for example, and they think that is just fine that way.

1965 Ford Ranchero - Road Race RancheroWritten by on March 12, 2008 Contributors: Randy Lorentzen, Larry Miller They Never Raced Falcon Rancheros in Trans-Am, but This One Shows That They Coulda and Shoulda.
Guys who eschew the norm are cool, but the ones who tap-dance all over it and bring a sense of style and nastiness to uncommon cars are our Dare to Be Different heros. Just about everything has been drag raced at some point, but the elite club of cars that have been prepped for severe road racing is much more selective. All the more reason to break out of the routine of expected platforms and create something new, we say. But there is a delicate balance to strike when treading into that territory. A phantom car is cool and is a great way to let your imagination run wild, but it has to give off the right hard-core vibe or it's just another poser.
When we first happened upon this little Ranchero at a SoCal car show, it caught our eye with its striking two-tone paint, but we nearly passed it by as just another nice surfboard hauler. Then we noticed the re-arched and flared wheelwells covering what appeared to be really wide PS Engineering wheels wrapped in Hoosier slicks. And is that an airscoop below the front bumper? A glance inside at the Spartan NASCAR-esque interior with a full rollcage passing through the back glass and through an aluminum bedcover definitely piqued our attention. Right about that time, owner Larry Miller walked over and popped the hood, revealing a full-race Ford small-block.Larry smiled wryly and explained that he'd always been a fan of NASCAR and vintage Trans-Am, and he'd always wondered why no one road races the NASCAR Craftsman Trucks. One day it dawned on him that he could mash up the two and create a vintage Trans-Am truck, something that never was raced but conceivably could have been.
That immediately threw out regular pickups, but Larry didn't have to look any farther than his own garage to find the right platform-a '65 Ford Falcon Ranchero. Falcons have been road raced since the '60s and share a great number of components with Mustangs, but he'd never seen a Ranchero decked out in full Trans-Am battle trim.
But Larry didn't want the Ranchero to just look like some phantom road race truck; he wanted the real deal. To make it happen, he took it to Mike Eisenberg and his crew at Maeco Motorsport of Northridge, California (www.maeco motorsport.com). Maeco is well versed in vintage road racing and campaigns a host of very successful Trans-Am Mustangs, Cobras, and Camaros. Mike was intrigued by the project and had no doubt that he could make the truck handle.
Since there is no sanctioned vintage truck racing series, and the Ranchero could only be driven at open-road track events anyway, Larry and Mike agreed that they wouldn't attempt to adhere to any weight, tire, or horsepower restrictions. The plan was to keep the original lines of the Ranchero and to keep it streetable with wipers, horn, lights, and so on, but the goodies to make it go, stop, and turn would be the best modern race parts Mike could round up.
Larry's dream was to get a legitimate NASCAR engine between the shock towers, but that was thought to be financially unfeasible. Then, one morning early in the build, Mike called Larry and told him that he had inside information on a Busch NASCAR team that was defecting from Ford to Dodge and was liquidating its leftover engines. A new Cosworth-built Ford small-block was available for a mere fraction of its worth. Larry says, "Mike told me I did not even have enough time to go ask my wife; I had to decide then. So I went for it." Larry was giddy over the deal because he figured that since the engine is based on a Windsor design, it would drop right in. Wrong! With a 9.2-inch deck height and Yates heads, major cutting, welding, and adjustments were required to make it all fit. The rest of the truck received Maeco's standard full-race, vintage Trans-Am prep front to rear.
After several months of work, Larry took the Ranchero to Willow Springs Raceway for its first real shakedown run to see if it could handle a road course. When he arrived, a Ferrari race team was just finishing up its practice session but was fascinated enough by the noisy little truck to stick around and watch. One of the Ferrari team members offered to time the Ranchero, and after a couple of warmup laps Larry was clocking lap times in the 1-minute, 30-second range-which were the same times the Ferrari race team was turning that day. Not bad for a former lawn truck.
On his next outing Larry went out to run with the Shelby American Automobile Club at its national meet at California Speedway in Fontana, California. This time Larry expected to surprise a few drivers, and as an added poke in the ribs he had attached a lawnmower handle (complete with ripcord) to the rear downbars on the rollcage. "My favorite comment of the day," Larry tells us, "came from a guy in a blown 427 Cobra. He said he was annoyed enough that there was a Ranchero chasing him down, but that when I passed him and he saw the pushmower handle, well, that was just plain embarrassing."
The little Ranchero did a verified 170 mph down the front straight that day and handled the infield in perfect fashion, pissing off more than a few Cobra, Mustang, and GT owners along the way. Larry couldn't wipe the grin off his face.
But interest is capricious, and for reasons known only to him, Larry recently decided to move on to things that are propelled by the wind rather than combustion, so the keys to this little Ranchero have been passed into the eager hands of Rick Hamilton. Rick doesn't care for vehicles that aren't exciting to drive, as evidenced by a collection of toys that includes a low-production-number T-Bolt. Even he admits it's a bit of a learning curve to drive this Ranchero anywhere near its potential-but he assures us he's willing to put in the seat time to get it right.
Quick Inspection:'65 Ford Ranchero
Rick Hamilton . Tulare, CA
Engine: The 358ci Ford Cosworth NASCAR engine uses a Ford SVO siamese-cylinder block, a Sonny Bryant crank, and Carrillo rods with CP pistons to create a 12.0:1 compression ratio. Ford Yates-style aluminum heads feature Jesel roller rockers pushing titanium 2.130 intake and 1.900 exhaust valves, titanium retainers, and locks. ARP head studs and hardware hold it all together. The Ford Motorsport valve covers have internal oil sprayers for valvespring longevity. The dry-sump pump and pan are Cosworth parts, and the pulleys, brackets, and fuel pump are all from CV Products (www.cvproducts.com). Up top is a Holley 4150 with drilled butterflies.
Power: The engine is capable of 825 hp at 8,800 rpm but is detuned to 710 hp in road course form.
Transmission: A Tremec T56 six-speed uses a McLeod Mag IV road racing clutch.
Rearend: The Ford 9-inch is stuffed with 4.10:1 gears and Speedway floater axles.
Frame: The original Ranchero unibody was braced and strengthened in key areas by Maeco Motorsport.
Suspension: Up front the Ranchero uses standard Shelby and Boss Mustang Trans-Am tricks including relocated and boxed control arms. Springs are Boss 302 race spec, and Koni adjustable shocks are on all four corners. A Global West steering box increases responsiveness. The rear is just as simple with heavy-duty leaf springs paired with a Panhard rod.
Brakes: Wilwood six-piston calipers are up front with four-pistons in the rear. Full-race brake pads put the squeeze on Coleman Engineering 12.125- and 11.75-inch curved-vane, stress-relieved, and gas-vented rotors.
Wheels: Custom 16x10 kidney-bean racing wheels are built by PS Engineering in Torrance, California (www.psewheels.com).
Tires: The Ranchero uses 25.0x12.0x16 Hoosier road race tires for the track and Hoosier P275/45ZR16s on the street.
Body: Other than the obvious re-arching and flaring of the font and rear wheelwells, the Ranchero's body remains stock. The bumpers and 6-inch cowl hood are fiberglass pieces from Unlimited Products of Corona, California (www.up22.com). The aluminum bed sheeting and spoiler were done by Rick "The Tin Man" Nelson in Sylmar, California (818/367-5853).
Paint: Scott Guildner of Custom Painting (818/709-2139) sprayed the Dodge Viper blue and silver.
Interior: The dash fitted with Auto Meter carbon-fiber gauges is a custom piece by Scott Gregory of Maeco. The rollcage was bent up by Ross Murray from Exoticraft of Marina del Rey, California (310/821-7289). Black powdercoated aluminum Kirkey race seats and Simpson harnesses keep driver and passenger planted. A Safecraft Halon 1301 extinguishing system was installed with nozzles in the engine compartment, passenger compartment, and bed. A collapsible steering shaft with a removable steering wheel adds an extra measure of safety. The trans tunnel can be removed for access.

It's not just vintage cars that find themselves chasing tailgate. On this day at Willow Springs it was the driver of an ex-NASCAR Ford shaking his head in disbelief.It's still driven regularly on the street, but the interior is no-nonsense race car from 'cage to dash. Other than a removable trans tunnel for easy access, all the floor and unibody structure is stock Ranchero.To the casual observer it looks like a typical small-block Ford, but those who look closer will notice dead giveaways like a dry-sump oil system and the braided cooling hoses running straight into the Yates heads. The Cosworth decal tends to provoke more questions than it answers.Maeco knows how to dial in the Ford suspension geometry, so exotic race suspension was unnecessary to get the desired outcome, but the shop went for Wilwood calipers and Coleman Engineering rotors to haul it down. Barely visible just above the brake caliper is the clutch cylinder-access panel on the inner fender.That's a real pushmower handle complete with throttle, safety release bar, and ripcord. When asked if it hurt the high-speed handling, Larry says, "Maybe a little, but it's worth it."All Falcon-, Fairlane-, and Torino-bodied Rancheros have the same alcove under a removable panel in the bed-which just happens to fit the battery, dry-sump oil reservoir, and fire-system bottle nicely. A 110V heater in the oil reservoir gets things prewarmed before cranking.
More than a few owners of legit race-prepped Shelbys has been humbled by the Ranchero. Larry says they were all good sports about it.You gotta push it to find your limits. Our photo shoot was Rick's first outing on a real track with the Ranchero, and he had a blast whipping it through the Streets course at Willow Springs, even when he put it in the dirt.

Postoperative RT can improve local control in NSCLC; however, RT-associated toxicity poses some limitations. With more modern techniques, mediastinal radiation is better tolerated. This is in contrast to the PORT meta-analysis, in which no clear benefit was found except in subset analyses. This was likely due to older techniques and poor quality control. PORT in NSCLC continues to be utilized in clinical practice today. The question remains, however: what is an appropriate PORT field? Inclusion of all sites of possible mediastinal relapse is likely to be associated with excess toxicity. An alternative approach would be to treat the sites at highest risk for relapse, minimizing normal tissue toxicity, and potentially improving the therapeutic ratio. As systemic therapy improves, locoregional control will become even more important. This study helps define the likely patterns of relapse in NSCLC and may serve as a guide when designing optimal PORT fields.

What is the difference between those two words? Are they interchangeable?
Here is from my perception:
antun (more precisely jemandem etwas antun)
However, I cannot think of a scenario where they would be directly interchangeable.
I want to add one thing that is not mentioned in the other answer.
As @Matthaeus is indicating, antun can also be used in a positive way. This usually happens in the following idioms:
This means that you're really excited by something or someone.
'Tun' is a nowadays rather uncommon word for 'To do' (notice the similarity?), sometimes also 'to put'; in some cases it has been replaced by "machen", but is still used a lot in following cases: 1. merged with other verbs as copula (antun, leidtun...) 2. when someone executes an aforementioned action, especially if there is an adverb as 'modifier' of that action, e.g. ('er tut es gern', 'er tut es oft', 'er tut es freiwillig') 3. Some phrases have it. Like: 'man tut, was man kann' or 'es mit etwas zu tun haben'.
Actually, it has many meanings, just like the English verb 'to do'.
'Antun', however, has very little uses that i know of. It can be used when the action is directed at someone or something. It can be a good or a bad action, but it is more commonly used with the latter. 'Das tut mir nichts an!' ('This (action) does not affect me/harm me') 'Er hat mir böses angetan!' ('He did bad things to me!')

Microsoft's "I'm a PC" Ad Beats Seinfeld (But Not Hodgman)
Phase 2 of Microsoft's Windows ad campaign debuted tonight during The Office , and the latest work by ad agency Crispin, Porter + Bogusky definitely beats the crap out of those (ill-fated? ) Gates/Seinfeld ads when it comes to making a point . The point is simple: Not all PC users look like John Hodgman. Some are even sexy beasts. It's easy to spot Deepak Chopra and Bill Gates affirming their PC-ness, but I think I also saw
Tony Parker and Eva Longoria too. You guys have a look and fill in the gaps, because there are a lot of celebs and specialists showing PC pride here. I only wish it didn't open with that poor bastard Hodgman lookalike—the message is damn loud and clear anyhow. Update: Windows' 15-second "I Wear a Suit" video below...
[Hey, sorry, I couldn't resist adding this note. Not that this changes any of my gear preferences, but these ads don't seem to feature scripted actors, and there is no baby music. Hello Chiat Day and Apple, time to get some new commercials: you've been out maneuvered! — BLam.] [Microsoft

Tsarnaev Is Getting Care and High Security
Suspect Held in Massachusetts Facility For Federal Prisoners Needing Treatment
The federal medical center in Massachusetts where the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing is being held blends high-security prison cells with hospital rooms.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19 years old, is being treated for gunshot wounds in his throat, head and legs that he received during confrontations with police days after the April 15 bombing. He was listed as being in fair condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center before being transferred early Friday to the Federal Medical Center Devens, about 40 miles west of Boston at Fort Devens army base.
Devens is equipped to handle the full spectrum of federal prisoners, from minimum-security white-collar criminals to violent felons who would be held at maximum-security penitentiaries if it weren't for their medical conditions. The latter are generally kept in single-person cells and isolated from lower-risk prisoners.
Precautions prevent prisoners from escaping, and protect them from one another.
Rooms with steel doors and wickets—prison lingo for slots used to pass food—can be equipped with hospital beds and patient-monitoring equipment to keep violent or high-risk offenders under lockdown, even during treatment, prison spokesman John Colautti said. When patients must be moved—for example, to receive X-rays—staff members take extra precautions, he said.
The site, which occupies a wooded corner of the army base, is a cluster of institutional buildings surrounded by a double fence.

The 60 on-staff nurses and health professionals are trained corrections officers, who spend three weeks each year practicing firearms skills and techniques to restrain prisoners, among other things, at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Ga., Mr. Colautti said.
Government and hospital officials didn't comment on the reason for the transfer or Mr. Tsarnaev's current condition, but experts said the higher security offered at Devens likely contributed to the decision. They also said officials would seek to keep the suspect close to Boston for potential court proceedings.
U.S. Marshals declined to comment, referring questions to prison officials.
For guards and doctors at Devens, "it's pretty much business as usual," Mr. Colautti said. He noted that the facility routinely secures dangerous and high-profile prisoners. Twenty of the 1,044 prisoners in the medical prison are serving life sentences, he said.
The Joint Commission, a nonprofit self-regulator for health groups, has accredited Devens to provide outpatient, long-term care and mental-health services. As of 2011, the facility had met its goals in all nine categories listed for outpatient health services, including for hand-washing, medication labeling and preventing certain medical errors.
Sometimes, if prisoners have a major health problem, such as a heart attack, they can be transferred temporarily to nearby hospitals.
"We contract with just about every hospital in the area," Mr. Colautti said, adding it is a security precaution that makes it difficult for people on the outside to know where to look for prisoners who have been moved to harder-to-secure facilities.
The range of Devens inmates also includes a cadre of low-security prisoners who cut the lawns and do other groundskeeping work. Most high-security prisoners are sick while there and are often transferred to other facilities when their health improves.
Some prisoners have chronic medical conditions that could require indefinite treatment. For instance, Raj Rajaratnam, the founder of the hedge fund Galleon Group who was convicted of insider trading in 2011, is serving time at Devens, according to the Bureau of Prisons. He suffers from a litany of health problems, including kidney disease that his lawyers said ahead of sentencing were likely to require dialysis treatment.
About 100 Devens inmates get dialysis and are likely to remain there for the duration of their sentences, Mr. Colautti said.
Despite readier access to medical services than in other prisons, not all inmates prefer incarceration at the six Federal Medical Centers operated by the prison bureau, where many live under even greater restrictions than at typical facilities.
"They mix all these people together of different custody levels—you're like locked down," said Larry Levine, founder of Wall Street Prison, a firm that advises white-collar inmates on navigating the prison system. The precautions that make Mr. Tsarnaev inaccessible to other prisoners can be a drag for low-security inmates. "I would rather choose the regular institution just because of the lifestyle," said Mr. Levine, who served 10 years in federal prisons, during which he was treated at an outside hospital for heart disease.

Angel Soft® Bath Tissue Rolls, 2-Ply, 80 Rolls/Case & Other Supply Deals for $39.99 + shipping
$5 instant savings.
15 Comments add a comment
I guess it's a decent deal, but not a great deal. I picked up Charmin ultra-soft rolls at CVS for 50 cents each last week, and I didn't even think that was a great deal even though it's far better quality than this stuff. And more quantity too.
$5 instant savings helps a bit. I'd go for this if it were maybe 25 cents per roll. That's an acceptable bargain-hunter's price for average-quality TP.
IMO the best deal is to buy a cheap bidet on amazon
and spray that fish eye with water real good. Gets you much cleaner then any paper can.
you will use much less paper and it will pay for its self in a short time, then its all savings for years to come
just my 2 cents
free shipping on orders over $45, and you can pay with staples rewards... can't beat that!
(Oh, and of you're rewards plus or premier status, free shipping on ANY order.
@fit410s: thanks! Sine the used cost more I got that one. I figured it would have to be better based on price.
I never thought I'd ever be reviewing toilet paper, but lately for the amount of paper my family goes through we've found one of the best is Walmart's Great Value Ultra Strong Toilet Tissue. Strong and absorbent, yet soft and much less expensive. Consumer Reports gave it a very high review as well.
I don't know if I'd go for any toilet paper that says SPARKLE really big on the packaging...
I like Angel Soft toilet paper. I never bought it through Staples, so I don't know if it exactly the same, but the one I buy is also septic-safe.
Note this about all toilet paper: the width is getting narrower and narrower. Keep that in mind when you are looking for deals. Don't just compare sheets per roll. It's like when coffee used to be sold in one-pound bags, and now it is 11 oz.
Life is too short. Go 3-ply.
@luvche21: You don't read too well, huh? That's okay. Those are the paper towels.
This isn't too crappy.
@fit410s: ewwwwww!
@lavikinga: walmart also owns the "white cloud" line of TP, and consumer reports rated that one best quality, best price.
@kamikazeken: Yup. Kids swear there's a difference in the amount on the rolls with the Walmart Ultra rolls feeling heavier & thicker.
When you put this in your cart it also gives you a $5 off coupon. Add a case of paper towels and get the free shipping as well.
I saw this, and all I could think of was a scene from Supernatural S05E04. In a time jump, some people are living in something of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and a person from the past has ended up there. Before going back to the past, another person tells him this: "Some free advice. You ever get back there, you hoard toilet paper. You understand me? Hoard it. Hoard it like it's made of gold. Because it is."

Electric guitars have been popular and prominent for decades. For quite some time, being a left-handed musician was considered a hindrance and artists often had to make due with a right handed guitar. Now, there are plenty of fantastic options for lefties so they can make their mark on the music world. As a left-handed musician you probably know that many legendary artists were lefties too- Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Dick Dale are just a few examples of musicians who paved the way for up and coming lefties to seriously rock out. Electric guitars are perhaps the most notable and distinctive instrument in pop and rock music. Heavily used on stage and in the recording studio, the electric guitar provides some of the most memorable parts of a song or tune.
Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first in your life or have been rocking the stage for years, there is a left-handed instrument out there that's just right for you. Electric guitar design and construction varies depending on the size of the body and shape of the neck, tonewood, bridge and pickup. Different woods produce different tones. Higher end guitars are usually made of hardwood like alder, maple or mahogany while a plywood or pine option gives exceptional durability perfectly suited to a beginner or student musician. The guitar's body typically comes in solid body, hollow body or semi-hollow body. Harder rock musicians often favor a solid body for louder, more vibrant pickups and feedback, while an acoustic performance would benefit from an acoustic guitar. The neck of a guitar is another consideration. A shorter neck would generally be seen on a smaller guitar; a musician who does not have large hands would appreciate the easier handling of a smaller guitar. The majority of electric guitars have six strings; however there are seven, eight and 12 string options for those who have mastered their left-handed guitar and are looking for ways to boost their performance. Left handed guitarists have made a rich and impressive mark on the history of popular music. No matter if you plan to rock the stage in front of an adoring crowd or just want to riff with your buddies at home, there is a sensational left-handed guitar out there waiting for you.

The American Bible: How Our Words Unite, Divide, and Define a Nation (Hardcover)
Since Thomas Jefferson first recorded those self-evident truths in the Declaration of Independence, America has been a nation that has unfolded as much on the page and the podium as on battlefields or in statehouses. Here Stephen Prothero reveals which texts continue to generate controversy and drive debate. He then puts these voices into conversation, tracing how prominent leaders and thinkers of one generation have commented upon the core texts of another, and invites readers to join in.
Few can question that the Constitution is part of our shared cultural lexicon, that the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision still impacts lives, or that "The Star-Spangled Banner" informs our national identity. But Prothero also considers lesser known texts that have sparked our war of words, including Thomas Paine's Common Sense and Maya Lin's Vietnam Veterans Memorial. In The American Bible Christopher Hitchens weighs in on Huck Finn, and Sarah Palin on Martin Luther King Jr. From the speeches of Presidents Lincoln, Kennedy, and Reagan to the novels of Harriet Beecher Stowe and Ayn Rand—Prothero takes the reader into the heart of America's culture wars. These "scriptures" provide the words that continue to unite, divide, and define Americans today.
About the Author
STEPHEN PROTHERO is the New York Times bestselling author of Religious Literacy and God Is Not One, a professor of religion at Boston University, and a senior fellow at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington D.C.

Praise For…
"In these pages Stephen Prothero has brilliantly captured the American spirit-a spirit that has always seen us through hours of division and disagreement. With Prothero's expert analysis, these texts should spark civil conversation, informed debate, and intelligent discussion."
--Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Lion.
"There are certain speeches, songs, books, letters, laws, and axioms that Americans honor enough to argue about, says religion scholar Stephen Prothero. Like the Declaration of Independence, this almost consecrated canon inspires endless commentary about what it means to be American-and what 'America' means."
-Religion News Service
"Required for putting in one place so many historic pieces that are more opined over than actually read. Awesome scholarship to an admirable purpose."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"The American Bible is a provocative, brilliantly realized illumination of American values by means of excerpted historical documents."
-Colloquy, Harvard University
"In The American Bible, Prothero has turned his considerable talents to assembling a version of the American canon. The author's prose is, as usual, spritely, informed and incisive."
-Washington Post

SSP Completes First Night Of Spring Challenge
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Alyssa Jones)
Sunset Speedway Park hosted their first of two nights on Memorial Day weekend on Saturday May 24th for their Spring Challenge. A great car count and great crowd were on hand for the "Banks Bullring" to watch some breathtaking action. Classes in action at the ¼-mile clay oval was the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, Dwarf Cars, and 4-Bee's.
In the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series feature it was Newberg's "Captain" Jack Marontate, driving his Metposite Flat Panel Wall Systems/Chehalem Sign Company/Turk's Newberg Tire and Auto Repair/Smokercraft Boats #56 Rayburn, seizing the early race lead. Marontate would set the pace in the feature for several laps before Greg Walters of Banks would make the pass on lap nine. Walters would blaze the trail for the remainder of the distance to capture his first win of the 2014 campaign. It would mark the thirteenth career Northwest Extreme Late Model Series win when the series has visited SSP for Walters and his T&G Trucking/Warpaint Motorsport Graphix & Web Design/Duncan Automotive #97 Victory Circle entry.
The big surprise of the night was the second place run by Portland's Phillip Johnson in his Jackhammer Trucking/T&G Trucking #79 Rayburn entry followed by the Schram Brothers Excavating/Century III Stables/Bodies by Steve-O #16 MasterSbilt of Jerry Schram from Vancouver, Washington in third. The balance of the top five would consist of Jacob Myers of Salem chauffeuring the Baxter's Auto Parts/Blasen & Blasen Lumber Corp./Powell Motors #9 Rayburn in fourth and the Ireland & Ireland at Law/Privateer Racing/Applebee Aviation #8 machine of Rob Ireland from Banks in fifth.
In IMCA Modified action it was Vernon "Bubba" Foster leading the entire distance of the feature. Foster, of Dayton, would get out in front on the first lap and would even hold of the likes of Redmond's Mark Carrell in the final laps to earn the victory. It would be the first win of the season for the Busy Bee Cleaning/Pam Pam's Auto Wrecking/J.B. Printing & Graphics #68 Allen of 2014 as well as the first of his career at Sunset.
Mark Carrell was a respectable second in his Mark's Auto Body #27 GRT while third place would go to the GRV Mobile RV Repair/A.A. Automotive of Prinville #57 T.R.E. of Kenny Miller from Vancouver, Washington. Crossing the wire in fourth was B.J. Wild from Redmond in the Trinity Bikes/Threesixnine Custom Fabrication #12 Shaw and fifth would go to Jerry Schram in his Schram Brothers Excavating/Century III Stables/Bodies by Steve-O #16 machine.
In Street Stock competition Johnny Adams of Portland would pace the field early in his Gartner Racing/Elwood Motorsports/Sweere's Trucking #70 Camaro. Adams would lose the lead on lap six to last week's feature winner John Ireland from Banks. Ireland would lead the remainder of the distance in the Ireland & Ireland at Law/Transaction Transmissions/Applebee Aviation #88 Monte Carlo for his second consecutive win of the season.
Making a valiant attempt to catch Ireland for the lead but finishing in second was the JNR Construction/Molecular Motion Inc./Dockweiler Stainless Steel Tube Systems #14 Camaro of West Linn's Brian Roden and behind him in third was the Claypool Racing #3 Camaro of Earl Claypool from Hillsboro. Coming home in fourth was McMinnville driver Freya Smith in her Sweere's Auto Body/McMinnville Tire Factory/Sweere's Trucking #37 Camaro while the top five was completed with the Kenton Station/Pfeifer's Mobile Concrete/Occidental Brewing #17 Firebird entry of Bert Pegg from Vancouver, Washington.
In the Dwarf Car main event Brad Hicks of Creswell would lead the early stages in his The Wright Shop/Hicks Family Racing/B-Rad Motorsports #77 B-Rad entry. Hicks would stay out in front but by lap five Yreka, California's Dylan Chrisman, in his #66S machine, would take over the top spot. Chrisman would lead until lap ten when Ryan Martinez of Portland would take the position away from him. Martinez would lead the remainder of the distance to win his second race of the season but the first time the Auto Truck Wholesale/Van Raden Industries/St. John's Tire Factory #9 M&M would go to victory lane at Sunset in 2014.
Yreka, California pilot John Chrisman, driving the #88S machine, was second and in third was the Matt's Auto Center of Scappoose/Finish Line Technologies #2 Hot Rod of St. Helens driver James Brinster. Brian Hicks of Creswell was fourth in The Wright Shop/Hicks Family Racing/B-Rad Motorsports #76 machine followed by the Dorie Motorsports #76X entry of Scott Dorie from St. Helens in fifth.
Last but not least the 4-Bee's had an exciting main event. Leading the first half of the race was last week's winner John Gartner of Portland in his Gartner Racing/Ram Light Truck/ACE Car Detailing/Foot Print Designs #48 Mitsubishi Eclipse. On lap eleven though Stan Asanovic from Gaston, in The Meyer Auto Body/Transaction Transmissions/Champion Signs #26, was able to seize the point and lead the rest of the distance. Also to note is that Asanovic was driving a borrowed car from friend Gary Meyer for the evening.
John Gartner was second while John Henry of Hillsboro was third in the Joe's Auto Body and Paint/Social Lies Pub and Grill #77 Toyota Celica. In fourth was North Plains driver Nick Henry in the Joe's Auto Body and Paint/Social Lies Pub and Grill #22 Dodge Neon and Vancouver, Washington's Travis Koch was fifth in his North's Plumbing/Dusty's Automotive/Mac Tools #21 Dodge Neon.

Video: "We've forgotten what abortion really is"
posted at 9:21 am on April 30, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Via Kathryn Jean Lopez at The Corner, Lila Rose gets straight to the heart of why the media didn't want to cover the Gosnell trial — and why they won't want to cover what happens in other late-term abortion clinics, either. They don't want to see the brutality or the inhumanity, and the culture sanitizes the horror of abortion in order to keep public opinion from turning against it. These films, and the Gosnell trial, strip the façade away
Kirsten Powers concurs. In her column for USA Today, Powers tells readers that Gosnell is "no aberration," but the industry norm — helped along by malicious neglect of public officials who are supposed to protect the health of the community:
Abortion rights advocates have asserted that Gosnell was an "extreme outlier" andopposed legislation to increase regulation of Pennsylvania abortion clinics as they have in other states. But how could they possibly know that this is an aberration?
Last week, Ohio officials shut down an abortion clinic after inspectors found that a medical assistant administered narcotics to five patients, that narcotics and powerful sedatives weren't properly accounted for, that pharmacy licenses had expired and that four staff members hadn't been screened for a communicable disease.
This month, a Delaware TV station reported that two Planned Parenthood nurses resigned in protest over conditions at a clinic there. One nurse, Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich, said, "It was just unsafe. I couldn't tell you how ridiculously unsafe it was." …
Last year, an Associated Press investigation found that Illinois hadn't inspected some abortion clinics for 10 to 15 years. After state health officials reinvigorated their clinic inspections in the wake of Gosnell, inspectors closed two clinics, including one fined for "failure to perform CPR on a patient who died after a procedure," according to AP.
The Left spent all last year screeching about a "war on women" because some people opposed the idea of forcing employers to foot the bill for contraception. The same people seem awfully silent, in every sense of that term, when it comes to the butchers of the abortion industry and the public officials who won't lift a finger to put them out of business. That's because they don't want people to know what abortion truly is.

Trojans Top Georgia College in NCAA Regional OpenerMay 9, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – Host and second-seeded Anderson recorded just five hits on the afternoon, but two of the hits were home runs, as the Trojans held off seventh-seeded Georgia College, 4-3, in opening-round action of the 2014 NCAA Southeast Region Softball Tournament, Friday afternoon at Smethers Field.
The third meeting this season between the two teams saw 17th-ranked Anderson improve to 43-10 on the season with their second win of the campaign over Georgia College, which slipped to 34-16.
Anderson advances to meet No. 3 seed and 19th-ranked Armstrong Atlantic State, which blanked USC Aiken, 6-0, earlier Friday afternoon. The Pirates and Trojans will square off at 11 a.m. Saturday morning. Georgia College drops into the elimination bracket and will face the Pacers Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m.
Senior Charlotte Sieber reached base in all three of her trips to the plate, drawing a walk and adding a double and a single on the afternoon. Fellow senior Abby Child belted a three-run homer, her 15th of the season, and also tallied a walk, while her sister, Molly added a solo home run – her 14th round-tripper of the campaign.
Junior Katelynn Howser (19-5) earned the win in the circle for the Trojans after surrendering three earned runs, while striking out four Bobcats and walking one in four complete innings of work. Freshman hurler Lauren Rudesheim earned her second save of the season after tossing three innings of relief. She did not allow a run, while walking one and striking out one.
The Trojans jumped out to an early one-run advantage when Molly Child lofted her one-out home run beyond the fence in right field and Abby Child provided the rest of the scoring for the Trojans in the bottom of the third inning. Sieber reached base for the first time of the afternoon with a one-out single to left and two batters later, Molly Child coaxed a two-out walk off Bobcat hurler Carly Lewis (16-10). Abby Child followed by pulling a 1-1 pitch over the left-field fence to boost AU's lead to 4-0.
But Howser, who did not surrender a hit through the first three frames, ran into trouble in the top of the fourth, as Georgia College quickly answered with three runs of its own. Sophomore Abi LeRoy led off with a single through the right side and sophomore Taylor Campbell plated LeRoy by ripping a double down the right-field line. Two batters later, sophomore Danielle Knight homered over the fence in right to trim AU's lead to 4-3.
Rudesheim entered in the top of the fifth and surrendered a single and a walk, but settled down to work out of the jam by retiring the next three Bobcat batters. The Trojans returned the favor by threatening in the bottom of the inning when Sieber led off with her ninth double of the season. But Anderson was unable to capitalize, as the designated player was stranded at second.
Rudesheim, with stellar defensive support, then retired six consecutive hitters in the sixth and seventh innings to preserve the win.

Blue Knights put their trust in Barmore
SOUTHINGTON — As Stephen Barmore gets set for the biggest game of his four-year career, against Fairfield Prep on Saturday, the Yale-bound quarterback is quick to point out the people who helped to make it easier for him.
They include an exceptional group of wide receivers.
When Barmore was a freshman, Tyler Dube and Jordan Chapman were the Blue Knights' primary downfield targets.
A year later, it was Andrew Walowski and Brian Kaminsky who were the main beneficiaries, replaced by Anthony Bonefant and Corbin Garry last season.
And this season, Alex Jamele earned the nod as Barmore's leading receiver with 26 touchdown catches.
But Jamele is not alone. Jasen Rose, Joe Daigle and Kyle Borawski all have contributed heavily, especially during this postseason stretch.
"Every single year, I have had so many options," said Barmore, who has thrown for 6,457 yards and 74 touchdowns, including 2,742 yards and 38 TDs this season. "My job is to get the ball in their hands. I am lucky enough. My job is relatively easy."
His teammates say it's Bar-
See BARMORE, Page 11B
more who makes their roles easier.
"Stephen's commitment and dedication to the rest of the team and the program itself is outstanding," said Southington tailback and captain Tyler Hyde. "He has such a great presence on the field. He's a great friend to all of us."
That quality forces the Blue Knights to rally around their leader, noted left offensive guard and team captain Jim Nardi.
"We just go out and do our job, and give it our all because we know that our quarterback will give it his all," said Nardi. "If we are not all working together, plays are not going to work."
It's Barmore's willingness to get better that drives his teammates, too.
"Stephen's work ethic makes him successful," said Nardi.
He's a true leader, said teammate Zach Maxwell, a backup running back and captain.
"Stephen has great presence on the field," said Maxwell. "He makes everyone around more comfortable."
Maxwell had only one reception this season leading up to the Class LL quarterfinal against Norwich Free Academy. But that didn't stop Barmore from making the proper read and hitting Maxwell with a jump pass over the middle in the second quarter. Maxwell grabbed it and sprinted for a 50-yard touchdown. That gave the Blue Knights a 16-0 edge en route to a 52-14 win.
"Stephen threw a perfect ball and always gets the ball to his teammates in the right spot so we can make things happen," said Maxwell. "We can always count on him to make the right decisions."
Southington coach Mike Drury says that Barmore's composure and game experience puts him in elite company.
Barmore said that when he was injured as a sophomore and idled for three games, it helped him greatly.
"It made me appreciate how football can be taken away from me and made me realize how important being on the field was to me," said Barmore.
With another win, Barmore can join Scott Bard as the only Southington quarterbacks to lead the Blue Knights to a state title. Bard did that in 1998.

How to integrate this?
$$\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{\frac{-(x-y)^2}{2}} dx$$
How to integrate this?
$$\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{\frac{-(x-y)^2}{2}} dx$$
Let $z=x-y$. We arrive at the standard integral $\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-\frac{z^2}{2}}\,dz$.
The most common "trick" to evaluate this integral is to consider the product $$\left(\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-\frac{s^2}{2}}\,ds\right)\left(\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-\frac{t^2}{2}}\,dt\right).$$ This is $$\iint_{\mathbb{R}^2} e^{-\frac{s^2+t^2}{2}}\,ds\,dt.$$ Change to polar coordinates. We have $s^2+t^2=r^2$, and $ds\,dt=r\,dr\,d\theta$, and the integration is easy.
Remark: If you are familiar with the standard normal distribution from probability theory, you will recall that it has density function $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-z^2/2}$. The integral of this over the interval $(-\infty,\infty)$ must be $1$. Thus our integral must be $\sqrt{2\pi}$. This is not a proof that our integral is $\sqrt{2\pi}$, for it involves believing that $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-z^2/2}$ truly is a density function. But definite integrals related to this come up often, so the it is useful to remember about the standard normal.

Video: Holiday commercial sparks warm, fuzzy feelings about — not puppies — guns
posted at 7:10 pm on December 12, 2011 by Tina Korbe
Listen to this advertisement and you'll reasonably assume that what's for sale is something forlorn, lonely, cute and cuddly … a stray puppy, perhaps.
"They've been mistreated and misunderstood for generations," the ad begins. "Abusive owners have done severe damage and given these beautiful creatures a bad reputation."
That's how it's supposed to sound. The owner of PRK Arms in Fresno, Calif., brainstormed this brilliant way to sell guns — and, so far, it's worked. According to a news report from Fresno's CBS 47 news, the gun shop has seen more business this holiday season than ever before. Among the many new customers are a surprising number of women, who are buying guns in record numbers, according to gun store owners.
No surprise there, really. What woman could resist this pitch?
"You can make a difference by giving a gun a loving home," the ad says. "These guns want nothing more than to adore and protect you. So, please, have a heart. … PRK Arms has the kinds of guns that need a loving home more than anything else — like AK-47s, Glocks and the biggest selection of AR-15s in Fresno."
Not surprisingly, the ad has stirred controversy, with some anti-gun activists objecting to the ad's supposedly misleading nature. But I'd argue that what the ad states is true: Guns are designed as much for defensive protection as for offensive harm. And I agree, too, with what one woman says in the video: Learn how to use one and the scary factor fades.
Obviously, the potential for mishap exists, and gun safety should always be the first priority of a gun owner. But that doesn't mean guns have no place on a holiday shopping list. The "peace of mind" that comes from a security system — whether a motion-triggered alarm or a well-stocked gun cabinet — is surely a welcome present.

Stickers have left residue on some windows and old glass jars. I have typically used acetone to clean the residue but is there a better / easier way?
Orange oil (limonene) based cleaners dissolve sticker residue as well or better than acetone. Put some on, let it sit a bit, scrub a little with nylon,and wash off. There are zillions of different brands of the stuff.
There are extremely effective window scraping devices, which ensure that you always maintain the correct blade angle and dont scratch the glass pane.
also you can spray some simple window cleaner onto the glass while scraping.
Use a new razor blade on the windows to scrape it off (blades like the kind you use in a extractable utility knife). Angle the blade at about 30 degrees up from laying flat against the glass and move in a scraping (rather than slicing) motion - works great with paint too. The old glass jars will be more difficult because of their shape... I'd try putting them in a dish washer or possibly using Sherwin Williams 'Oops' product - Lowes sells the same thing labeled as 'Goof-Off'. You might also use the 'Oops' product to keep your razor blade clean when working on the windows.
Goof-off works wonders and won't cause any discoloration with the glass. Try to breathe as little of the vapors as you can as the smell is pretty potent.
WD-40 works well if used with caution. Be careful of overspray or spray on a paper towel or fine steelwool and wipe on the glass. Then use regular glass cleaner to remove the WD-40.

ExtJS - no market penetration?
I've been reviewing ExtJS for porting a pretty sophisticated web app from Flash/Flex to HTML5, and I definitely like what I see in ExtJS (component-centric, MVC framework, DOM-abstraction, etc), BUT there's something that's been gnawing at me and I'm hoping someone can enlighten me.
I understand that some people might be turned off by the licensing and the learning curve, but I'm really surprised that there are so many developers preferring the JQuery+UIplugins route. I know it's not a very scientific survey, but when I go to monster.com, i get over 70 hits for 'JQuery' and just one lonely hit for 'ExtJS' (whose ad only mentions ExtJS along with a bunch of other frameworks).
1 Apr 2013 4:22 PM #2
What kinds of projects are you searching for on Monster.com?
Obviously, jQuery is more ubiquitous, but much of the reason for that is that it is targeted for a completely different domain. Have you ever tried developing a real JavaScript application using only jQuery? You quickly run into plugin hell, and your app becomes a pile of unmaintainable garbage. Of course, this is hyperbole, and there are very smart people that are able to make extremely sophisticated apps using this approach. However, I suspect alot of the "jobs" you are finding postings for are not full on web apps based on jQuery.
So like I said before, look at the domain in which the solution is being leveraged. If you look in the intranet domain, you'll find lots of ExtJS being used by corporate customers that want really rich, cross-browser compatible web apps. On public websites, you'll find lots of jQuery +UI +plugins+whatever, partly because of the ubiquity of jQuery, partly because of the price (free), but also partly because using a full solution like ExtJS may not make the most sense.
Ultimately, what's true of software in general is applicable here: popularity, while a factor, should not be a significant consideration. What SHOULD be a consideration is whether or not the product under consideration fits with what you need for your project/company/whatever. This, along with affordability, available skills, etc. should be what drives the decision making.
2 Apr 2013 6:43 AM #3
jQuery is typically used on simpler (small to medium size) applications and Ext JS usually is a better fit on more complex (medium to large size) applications. jQuery is more popular because there's simply more need for smaller and simpler apps.
If you have a 'pretty sophisticated' Web application that you want to port from Flex, then Ext JS should be a solid platform.
2 Apr 2013 7:13 AM #4
Yep, that's what I'm thinking. I guess by 'sophisticated' I meant that it's just a big app with lots of user ineractions for setting up graphs, charts, custom cell-rendering of datagrids for showing live data (via socket communication). I particularly like the fact that ExtJS is a 'full solution', and I don't have to go thru the pains of figuring out and maintaining a patchwork of plugins if i had gone with jquery.

You guys summed it up quite well. Comparing jQuery to Ext JS can be easy but it's really apples and oranges. There is nothing wrong with jQuery, it's a fine project for web sites but for web apps it doesn't seem to stand up to Ext JS in my opinion. It's about finding the right tool for the right job, don't need a sledgehammer to hammer a nail but you do for larger jobs.
Plugin hell is an understatement but to be fair, Ext JS also has this issue. I for one have over 60 repos (extensions and example code) on GitHub many being for Ext JS and Sencha Touch but there are others that have some on GitHub or their websites. There isn't a popular package manager yet.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Interesting topic. I had heard of ext-js a couple years ago but jquery+plugins was by far the most dominant (and up until recently only) framework I've heard of the past few years. Prior to that prototype and YUI and GWT were pretty popular (GWT still is I think).
I liken ext-js to Wicket.. both have steeper learning curves, but once learned, can provide more capable, faster, better quality (managed) applications.
I am putting up a thread with similar intent to this post because I am a little confused on how to really get started with ext-js because of my prior 10+ year background in web development using nothing like this.

Good info all. I do have a question.. what constitutes a web site vs a web app? In my career everything I've worked on has basically been what I always thought was a web app. It's essentially a desktop app done in the browser. In years past it wasn't quite as fancy as today's web apps, but basically you'd have users create accounts, log in, manage things, send forms, etc.
So when you say jquery is more suited to web sites, what exactly does that mean and how does ext-js differ in what it produces? I am thinking with the various UI plugins, you can build a web app with jquery that functions just as well as an ext-js or a hand coded site. What draws me to ext-js, is the rich components it provides without the need to worry about the html/css and layout and cross browser issues. I am hoping once I learn it a bit more, I can more rapidly build nice fully functional desktop-like apps for the web, because while I know some html and css, I am far from knowledgeable enough to deal with all the intracacies that go along with the different browsers and platforms and versions of those browsers.

we have set up a Ubuntu workstation with accounts for all the group members. Nxserver from nomachine seems to be what we need, but it is restricted to 2 users. FreeNx isn't easily installable and doesn't seem very reliable. VNC seems to be usable for login to existing open session but not for remote logins on a single workstation.
To be clear, we need a solution to login on a workstation, desktop maintenance isn't necessary at all.

Carefully designed biomechanics and safety of use: with Inclusive Line, cardiovascular and muscular training are now within reach for everyone.
To give everyone the opportunity to reap the benefits provided by regular physical activity, we have created a wide range of products for cardiovascular training and improving muscle fitness that can also be used by people with different sensory, motor and cognitive abilities.
Inclusive is a new line of products from Technogym that enables both its able-bodied and disabled clients to complete a full workout.
This range is the result of the company's continuous quest for new solutions and includes twelve products: four for cardiovascular training, six dedicated to strengthening the muscles, and two for functional training.
The products are certified by the European Directive 93/42/EEC, and feature elements that make them even more accessible, including buttons and handles in contrasting colors and tactile stickers.
These are some of the characteristics that make the Inclusive line a solution that will allow you to attract new clients to your fitness facility, by increasing the services on offer.
Why choose Inclusive Line?
With just one product line you can double the services offered by your fitness facility, thereby attracting those who are unable to use traditional products by offering them the opportunity to train.
Each individual product can be used by both able-bodied or disabled persons, because it is designed:
- to facilitate access to a safe, controlled form of physical activity;
- not to stand out from the traditional versions in terms of aesthetics.
What requirements does the line meet?
The special characteristics of this line meet the requirement to make training a comfortable, safe experience in any conditions.
All the equipment can be used by persons with all types of ability.
Which products does it include?
The Inclusive line includes twelve products that can be combined to provide a full workout:
- four products for cardiovascular training: Run MD Inclusive, Bike MD Inclusive, Recline MD Inclusive and Top MD Inclusive;
- three products for strengthening the muscles in the upper body: Chest Press Inclusive, Shoulder Press Inclusive, Low Row Inclusive;
- three products for strengthening the muscles in the lower body: Leg Curl Inclusive, Leg Extension Inclusive, Leg Press Inclusive;
- one multifunctional product for full body training: Ercolina Rehab Inclusive.
What's the Inclusive line like
Designed in collaboration with IFI
When designing the IFI strength products we followed the guidelines issued by the IFI Fitness Initiative (IFI), an organization founded to support the creation of products that also meet the requirements of the disabled, therefore increasing the range of people who are able to participate in physical activity.
More integrated
In terms of aesthetics, there is no difference between the traditional cardiovascular and strength equipment and that of the Inclusive line.
Therefore, you can position the Inclusive products anywhere in your fitness facility and create a truly homogeneous environment.
More accessible
In terms of biomechanics, the line has additional features that make the products more accessible, for example the easily removable seats, the ramp to facilitate access by wheelchair users and a step that helps the user mount the treadmills and strength equipment.
More ergonomic
Tactile stickers on all the settings: these are some of the features that enable the full Inclusive equipment range to be used autonomously by any type of users.
The line is fitted with a series of details designed to ensure that your clients will always work out in absolute safety.
For example, the safety strap on the pedal of the Bike and Recline MD Inclusive products provides greater ankle stability during the exercise, while the contrasting colors on the treadmill and the footrest of the Run MD inclusive allow the user to distinguish whether the belt is stopped or moving.
How to buy it
Do you think that the Inclusive line meets your requirements, or would you simply like more information?
Contact us or make an appointment with one of our agents who will prepare the solution that is best for you, based on your requirements.
Please remember that you may lease the products or make your purchase using other financial instruments, and that each product is guaranteed for two years from the date of delivery, with the exception of the parts subject to wear and tear (for example: cables, padding, parts in rubber and plastic).

Unanswered: Destroy Touch Chart to release memory
How do we destroy a Touch Chart so that the memory is released.
I need to display a variety of charts on screen, each chart has to replace the previous chart. Currently I'm clearing the DOM of the chart markup but am unable to release the memory.
Any help is much appreciated.

You should just destroy() or remove the chart from it's parent. If there is a memory leak then this would be considered a bug.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Hi Mitchell
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I'm using the destroy() method to remove the chart object but I get the following error:
"Error: You are using a ServerProxy but have not supplied it with a url."
I'm not using any server proxy while clearing the screen though.
4 May 2012 10:43 AM #4
I am running into this issue as well. I call destroy on an existing chart and the memory is not being released.
Is there a method by which the configuration of the chart can be updated dynamically? I know there is the bind store method that will update the store used by the chart but I can't figure out how to reassign series and axes and such. I was hoping that reusing an existing chart would cut down on the fairly serious memory consumption but so far no luck.
25 Jan 2013 12:20 PM #5
Chart destroy() not working
Sencha -
What is the status of this?
We reported this issue about 9 months ago or more, and it was acknowledged as a bug with a memory leak in the Chart package. When destroy ) is called on a Chart object, it is not released, not garbage collected, and the memory is not reclaimed. So, destroying a Chart object and then creating a new one, causes a memory leak.
Has this been fixed yet? The last report we had recently is that it was not yet fixed. Is it being worked on?

This is not from real life, but from a movie on my local TV. A character in the movie is really bad, but when she talks with others, she pretends to be an innocent/ good woman. I want to know how to describe this kind of person.
Sign up

A wolf in sheep's clothing is someone who tries to trick you into trusting them by presenting themselves as unthreatening, then unexpectedly attacks you.
A poser is someone who pretends to have a "better" social/intellectual/economic position than they really do. @Jay's example is slightly odd (though not uncommon), in that the supposedly "rough" background is in fact considered "better" in certain social contexts (it has more "street cred"). It's an example of inverse snobbery.
It's not clear from the question exactly what kind of "good" image our subject is presenting, what kind of "bad" reality is being concealed, or why she's doing it. Either or neither of the above might apply (but probably not both).
Other possibilities are cheat, liar, deceiver, imposter, pretender, fake, faker, fraud, sham, decoy, defrauder, dodger, double-crosser, double-dealer, trickster, charlatan, two-faced [person].
Personally, I like duplicitous (deceptive in words or action) for general use. But if it's a woman pretending to be sexually modest when I know she's not, I might call her a closet sexpot (a term of my own invention here, but which I'd expect to be understood by anyone I might say it to).
Another word to describe such a person is hypocrite.
A more slangy phrase is "two-faced" and probably doesn't quite fit your scenario. It often means a person who is very nice and complimentary when speaking to someone, but speaks poorly about him/her to others.
Related: back-stabber: Doesn't confront you face-to-face, instead stabs you in the back. A classic example is a co-worker who tells you that your idea is great and then tells the boss that it's awful, OR takes credit for the idea him/herself.
If you're talking about ability or social role, like someone saying they grew up in a tough neighborhood when really they're a spoiled rich kid, I think the common slang term today is "poser". "Hypocrite" (someone else's answer") is pretty harsh and implies serious moral inconsistency, like someone loudly condemning drunkenness and then going home and secretly getting drunk himself. More formal words are "fake", "fraud", and "imposter".
A wolf in sheep's clothing sounds appropriate.
Whited sepulcher - A person inwardly corrupt or wicked but outwardly or professedly virtuous or holy.
It sounds like you are describing a sanctimonious person. A fitting idiom might be holier-than-thou.
The idiom "butter wouldn't melt in his/her mouth" means that someone is pretending to be innocent or naïve.
The kids would call that frontin'.
