I asked a question about immortality of hydra and learned good things about senescence. Now I would like to know about immortality in plants, if there is some kind of immortality in plants and how this occurs - how does it protect itself from senescence?
I can find no examples of immortal plants, but then again immortality is rather hard to prove, it's rather like trying to prove that space will never turn in to a pony - as long as time exists it could still occur, only if you go beyond the end of all time would you be able to say that it has or has not happened but then time would no longer exist and nor would space/the pony.
However, for examples of long lived plants it is perhaps best to look at trees - there are some species that live a long time and they can easily be aged. Here is a list of oldest known trees. It is difficult to tell how old these trees can become, and thus whether they are "immortal", because anything that lives that long is likely to encounter sources of extrinsic mortality during it's lifetime - predation, deforestation, extreme weather, erosion, natural disasters, contaminants, humans, disease, parasites etc. (rather than intrinsic dying of old age).
A lot of plants go through some kind of apoptosis, where cells are programmed to die. Plants such as annuals, biennials etc. die after a few months or years in a programmed way. It is difficult to say whether long lived species of trees would do the same after a few thousand years of life, because we just don't get to see many reach that stage of life, or if the mechanisms causing it have been suppressed (which could explain their long life).
Luke has posted a very thorough answer on the cellular and genetic aging of plants here. And to quote him:
Wikipedia has some very good pages on the evolution of senescence & aging. This article has also a good section on plant aging and I hope you can access it.
and finally, if you want to have a laugh, take a look at this entry on plant immortality and aging from creationwiki.org...
Some great clear science there, well done creationists... but it's just plain wrong.
Since meristems (the parts of plants from which growth happens) are constantly creating new stem cells, plants have a theoretical capacity for immortality. Of course, in practice, the vast majority of plants still senesce and die. But there are some notable exceptions such as bristlecone pines and quaking aspens which live for thousands of years. If you consider new individuals produced through clonal reproduction to be extensions of the original individual, then even more plants could be seen as immortal.
In addition to the above answers, the answer to your question also depends on your definition of immortality. There are a number of clonal organisms (the most famous of which is probably Pando, a quaking aspen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pando_%28tree%29 ) where there is a large area, sometimes multiple square miles, where individual shoots are sent above ground, giving anyone in the area the impression of a forest, but all of the trees are connected underground in one single large root system.
Such an organism could certainly be considered immortal, as its stems will constantly die off and be replaced by new organic material, enabling the network as a whole to live for tens of thousands of years (so far).

S&P 500 Closes Above 1500
First-in-Five-Years Milestone Follows Steady Grind of Small Daily Gains
For stocks, it has been a daily grind higher.
For eight consecutive trading days, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index has edged higher—always by less than a percent—the longest string of gains since 2004. On Friday, it cleared a new milestone, closing above 1500 for the first time in five years.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meantime, has notched six advances in a row and is moving ever closer to record highs.
The Dow advanced 70.65 points, or 0.5%, to 13895.98 Friday. It remains just 269 points from its record high, reached in October 2007, of 14164.53. The S&P 500 tacked on 8.14 points, or 0.5%, to 1502.96.
The steady climb, which has left both indexes up more than 5% this year, has demoralized doubters and re-energized believers.
On Friday, Deutsche Bank DB 1.43 % Chief U.S. Equity Strategist David Bianco, a well known bull, revised up his forecast for the S&P 500 this year, predicting it will rise a further 7% to 1600, compared with a previous prediction of 1575. At BTIG Strategy, a research firm, Chief Global Strategist Dan Greenhaus in a note to clients raised the prospect that the S&P 500 could reach 1650.
Earlier in the week, Jim Strugger, derivatives strategist at MKM Partners, retracted his call for a spike in volatility for stocks, suggesting a period of calm, and potential gains, may be ahead.
Among the tailwinds for the market is the Federal Reserve's monthly injection of capital into financial markets, easing of tensions in Washington, and an earnings season that has been largely positive. That has overcome skepticism about the strength of the rally, whether Europe's troubles may flare anew, and the drag of one notable stock: Apple. AAPL -0.12 %
Apple's descent continued this week, taking the stock down 17% for the year. The company's misadventures mounted Friday as it was unseated by Exxon Mobil XOM -1.39 % as the world's largest company by market capitalization. Exxon's market cap rose to more than $418 billion on Friday, while Apple's fell to about $413 billion.
Earnings were front and center this week.
Netflix NFLX -0.44 % jumped $22.70 to $169.56, rallying for a second day after reporting a better-than-expected quarterly subscriber increase. Procter & Gamble PG 0.92 % rose 2.83 to 73.25, leading the Dow, after the consumer-products company's earnings exceeded analysts' estimates and it raised the 2013 outlook.
"People are focused on earnings and pleasantly surprised that they've come in better than feared," said Paul Powers, head of U.S. equity sales trading at Raymond James Financial. RJF -0.02 %
On the economic front, sales of new homes in the U.S. fell more than expected in December from November's upwardly revised reading, the Commerce Department reported. "December did have a dip, but there's really no mistaking the fact that housing is on the mend," said Jim McDonald, chief investment strategist at Northern Trust, which oversees $758 billion of assets in Chicago. "At the end of the day, the overall numbers are good."
European markets were broadly higher, with the Stoxx Europe 600 up 0.3% for its highest close since February 2011.
A reading on the German business climate rose more than economists expected, suggesting the contraction in the euro zone's largest economy may have ended. In addition, euro-zone banks indicated they would repay a larger-than-expected chunk of loans to the European Central Bank two years early.
In Asia, Japan's Nikkei Stock Average soared 2.9% to its highest since April 2010, as a drop in the yen lifted exporters' shares. The Nikkei edged up 0.1% on the week, its 11th consecutive weekly gain, the longest such streak since 1986. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.5% to its highest since April 2011; it rose 1.3% on the week.
Crude-oil prices lost 0.1%, to settle at $95.88 a barrel, while gold slumped 0.8%, to settle at $1,656.40 a troy ounce. The dollar rose against the yen but tumbled versus the euro. The 10-year Treasury note fell in price to yield 1.947%.
Elsewhere in the corporate arena, Microsoft MSFT 0.84 % rose 25 cents to 27.88 after reporting late Thursday better-than-expected quarterly earnings amid stronger revenue in its core Windows business.
Starbucks SBUX -0.27 % climbed 2.24 to 56.81 after the coffee company's fiscal first-quarter earnings matched estimates, while global same-store sales rose more than expected.
Halliburton HAL 2.08 % gained 1.91 to 39.72. The oil-field-services company reported a smaller-than-expected decline in profit.
AT&T T 1.67 % rose 27 cents to 34.02 after fourth-quarter revenue topped estimates and it gave an upbeat 2013 revenue-growth outlook.
Hasbro HAS 0.30 % fell 1.14 to 37.31 after warning fourth-quarter revenue and holiday-season demand fell short of expectations. The toy maker said it plans to cut 10% of its workforce.
KLA-Tencor KLAC -2.25 % jumped 4.37 to 56.34 after the semiconductor-equipment maker's fiscal second-quarter earnings topped estimates.

KILLEEN (January 11, 2013) ---Metroplex Hospital in Killeen was preparing Friday for the possibility of an influx of flu patients to the emergency room.
Metroplex Hospital Director of Emergency Services Kathleen Kepler said if the influx of patients with flu-like symptoms begins, staff members will segregate those patients in a separate part of the hospital away from other patients.
Right now 15 to 20 percent of the patients who are being seen in the emergency room at Metroplex have the flu.
Health officials say they've seen an increase over the past few days and think flu numbers may be hitting their peak.
Kepler said the hospital wouldn't implement this plan until that number gets closer to 40%.
Kepler said this year's flu season has been one of the worst in years and started earlier than normal.
Health officials say the best way to fight the flu this year is to get a flu shot and to see a doctor within 48 hours of when symptoms appear for an anti-viral such as Tamiflu, which could ease the flu and shorten the duration of the illness.
Metroplex will hold a free flu shot clinic from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in Conference Room 4 only while supplies last.
For more information call (254) 519-8202 or go to the hospital's website.
Meanwhile on Friday retail pharmacies in Killeen were facing flu vaccine shortages.
Target in Killeen sold out of flu shots Friday morning and placed an emergency order for more, which will be arriving Saturday.
The Target in Temple did still have flu shots on hand Friday.
Target Pharmacy Manager Kathleen Bishop said she saw a rush of people trying to get flu shots Friday.
Bishop said she's also filled more Tamiflu prescriptions this year than normal.
Walgreens on Trimmier Road in Killeen was sold out of flu shots Friday and the Walgreens on East Elms Road in Killeen expected to sell out late Friday.
Both stores stated they had ordered more but didn't know when they would be arriving and are asking people to call ahead if they need a shot.
The HEB Pharmacy on Trimmier Road in Killeen was also sold out of flu shots and expected to get another shipment soon.
Flu shots will given at the Scott and White Pharmacy on Monday on a walk-in basis while supplies last before 11:30 a.m. and after 3:30 p.m.
The pharmacy is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

I've DMed DnD before, but I'm wanting to get a game of In A Wicked Age started up, which is much less crunchy than our 4e oriented group is used to. What advice would you have for someone trying to introduce this style of game to a set of players more used to DnD? What advice would help a GM who's similarly never gotten a chance to play or GM story games himself?

I'm running IaWA every other Sunday right now. During the phase where your friends are picking their characters from the oracle elements, if you can get away with it -- based on the oracles that you've drawn, consider not choosing any NPCs to stat up. If the player-characters are compelling enough, they don't need you to have NPCs with their own Best Interests. So you'll still role-play everyone they encounter, but you don't need to be pushing the story at all. That allows you to consider scene-framing more intently.
Who's going to be in this scene? Where? How does that cause their friction-bearing elements to escalate conflict?
Also, make sure that when your players are stating the best interests of their characters, that they refer to other PCs (or your statted-out NPCs if you're having some). Things like "burn the town to the ground" sound at first like good conflicty best interests but in play are weak. "Leave Burna-Buriash (a PC) at the bottom of the well" or "Marry Exmirlae (another PC) under the full moon" work better. Help them to generate satisfying best interests.
I haven't been a regular DM of D&D since AD&D 1E, so I can't really help with specifics, but those are things you should remember about running IaWA. Thinking about that perspective, I guess: Make sure they know how to get on the owe list. Make sure they understand that failure is fun. Make sure that they know they may well never play this character again, so don't sweat what happens.
It's just a game. Don't make a big deal about it. Don't regale the merits of indie games. Don't point out all the differences between D&D and your indie game. For godsake, don't talk about game theory.
It's an awesome game. Presumably you think this indie game is awesome, or you wouldn't introduce it to your friends. Be enthusiastic without being annoying. Enthusiasm is contagious.
It's a new game. Because your players don't know the rules, they will be out of their comfort zone. Do some things to make them more comfortable:
It's a game of In a Wicked Age. Here are some suggestions specific to this indie game:
I am overgeneralizing here, but D&D games tend to have the GM provide the plot and the players react to it. Games like IAWA require that at least some of the plots and conflicts originate from the characters themselves. Make sure the players recognize that going in so they are prepared to participate in this way. It can be a difficult shift of mindset for some people.
Everything Jere said is absolutely correct.
Also, you've chosen a good game to get your feet wet: Vincent Baker focuses on concrete GM advice. Try and follow it closely; make note of the places where he says to do stuff that isn't the way you're used to doing it, and do those things the way the book recommends.
If you can find some actual play discussions for the game you're trying, those are also very helpful.
While Adam has the same general advice I'd give, and I'm not familiar with IaWA itself, there are a few things I've not seen yet in others' answers.
Good Luck. My current group is transitioning to John Wick's Blood & Honor... so far, 3/4 are having fun, and the 4th is not certain how to cope with narrative authority... So I've been making the same transition recently.

Children's Health
A Wake-Up Call: All Children Should Be Tested for High Cholesterol
Nov. 11, 2011 -- When you look at a child, you don't think heart disease. But in a sign of the times -- these obese times -- new guidelines today are urging that all children between the ages of 9 and 11 be screened for high cholesterol.
In addition, the guidelines call for the same children to again be screened between the ages of 17 and 21.
Why? Because keeping children's cholesterol in the healthy range may help prevent the onset of heart disease later in life.
High cholesterol is a chief cause of atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, a major cause of heart disease.
The new recommendation that all children be screened is the most significant change to existing guidelines, which were established in 1992 and which called for cholesterol tests only for children with a family history of high cholesterol and heart disease.
"That old approach missed children who had high cholesterol," says guidelines contributor Steve Daniels, MD, PhD, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
Daniels says the fatty streaks that signal the onset of atherosclerosis can appear in the first decade of life. If left unchecked, they will progress to dangerous fatty buildups that can clog up and harden arteries in adulthood.
Address the Risks Early
Heart disease in children is quite rare, the report points out, but it is the period during which the risk factors for heart disease begin to develop.
"When I talk to parents, one of the first things I say is that we are not trying to prevent heart disease in childhood; instead, we are trying to lower their long-term risk," says Daniels, who led the expert panel, which was convened in 2006 under the sponsorship of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Its recommendations are endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and published online in Pediatrics.
Cholesterol testing is only one part of the new guidelines. Daniels and his fellow panelists also provide evidence-based recommendations for heart-healthy lifestyles, as well as for regular blood pressure and BMI (body mass index) checks.

Rated 4 out of 5 by knetwork from Good Shoe, Nice Look I bought these shoes about 2 months ago, got them in the dark brown. I love them - comfortable, lightweight, and stylish. The leather is very rich looking and feels soft. The Adiprene insole is very nice. My only complaint (and the reason for not giving 5 stars) is that the heel seems to be separating from within the shoe. It's kind of hard to describe. I do wear them frequently, but don't think the shoe should already be wearing out. I still recommend this shoe.

I am trying to figure out how to improve parsing performance for large files (> 1000 lines). Reparsing whole document does not seem right and my parser does support multiple syntactic elements as entry points. The ParseManager does track the dirty area which is exactly what I need to get started. However the relevant fields (firstOffsetModded, lastOffsetModded) are not passed on to a parser and are not accessible (only used for debug?). ParserManager itself is not public and there is no way it seems to provide a custom manager.
Is there any reason why ParseManager is not replaceable and why its fields firstOffsetModded, lastOffsetModded are private? They way things appear to me is that ParserManager is not finished?

Amazing pic Hans.. believe me its worth the effort. Congo..
Hand sketch by Mother Earth....!
I have no idea what it is but it is beautiful and worth getting airsick.

Wow..... just an amazing photo.
Yes, the earth is alive!
Looks a little like a blood stream or musculature in the human body.
I'm in awe. It reminds me of how everything is inter-connected in nature.
Very impressive black and white shot. And it could be anything,so it has me confused. Tree roots, an alien of some sort, a petrified forest, My eyes are not doing their job, and my imagination is running away with me right now. I appreciate what you want through getting the shot, its me not you who is failing. j.e.s.......
Looks like trees roots. Awesome!
Outstanding photo. I wonder how it looks like in color, though.
Absolutely stunning well worth getting a bit of air sickness :)
As a 'rookie' photographer, this is mind boggling!

This is probably a subject that has been beaten to death here but I just found the forum and came up with a solution prior to finding this site.
I have a Manfrotto hydrostatic ballhead, but that's less important than that Manfrotto's ballhead plates are incompatible with both the NN5 quick release clamps. I have the luxury of living close to the Nodal Ninja guys here in the Phoenix metro area. I brought it over to Rob to test it out and learned they were incompatible, I also learned that they have an ArcaSwiss style quick release clamp. In looking at ArcaSwissl style plates out there I settled on a Really Right Stuff plate and clamp to replace my Manfrotto. I brought this setup back to Rob and he set me up with the right quick release clamp. Now my camera quickly jumps from my tripod, to my hand, and onto my NN5, perfectly aligned for no parallax quickly and easily.
Hope this might help someone come up with a quick solution for a similar setup.
Thanks Rob and the Nodal Ninja team, you all rock!!!

Hart County Jailer Keith Riordan says an incident that's being called a riot was blown out of proportion.
Kentucky State Police were called to the Hart County Jail Saturday night to assist the Sheriff's office with a disturbance. Authorities say over 20 people were in one of the jail's rooms and four of them were fighting.
State police later learned that 33-year-old Roy T. Evans of Dayton started a fight, but the jailer says it never turned into an actual riot. Riordan says order was quickly restored, but three deputy jailers were assaulted during the altercation and one was treated at Caverna Memorial Hospital for a bruised soldier.
Evans is charged with first degree rioting, menacing, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication.
When asked how the inmate had access to alcohol, Riordan claims hooch is often made using fermented fruits and vegetables taken from the kitchen or with items snuck in from work release.

Pretend play is an important part of a child's early development. It is a time of cops and robbers, knights and dragons, train conductors going through imagined towns making their imaginary stops. It's a time when children have highly active imaginations; when they put together ever more complex storylines. Pretend play toys like the Maple Landmark trains become vehicles of creative expression - allowing children to express new understanding (what a train does, role of conductor, etc.) and explore their greater surrounding (what happens in towns, etc.).
Made Of / Made In
Maple Landmark Name Train - Leopard Caboose is made of sustainable hard maple in Middlebury, Vermont, USA. Colored by child-safe, non-toxic paints and lacquers.
Manufacturer / Safety Compliance

1966 Pontiac GTO - Hey, Hey, it's the Monkeemobile!Written by on January 31, 2014 Monkeemobile No. 1 makes an appearance at the 2013 POCI-GTOAA Co-Vention
There is no doubt which is the most famous Pontiac GTO in the world. Though many of us Pontiac fans might look at the original '64 Royal Bobcat or perhaps one of Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick's racecars, the truth is there is one even more well-known—one that has woven itself into the fabric of American pop culture.
The ironic thing is that most people don't realize the Monkeemobile was actually a '66 GTO. Of course, legendary customizer Dean Jeffries heavily modified it, but the car that helped launch the stardom of the America's answer to the Fab Four was, in fact, a GTO.
Many of you already know the story of the Monkeemobile, but for those just tuning in, we'll lay it all out here. First off, there were actually two cars built. The one you see here is the No. 1 car and it was used in the filming of the original TV series and in the 1997 TV reunion special, Hey, Hey, It's the Monkees.
Monkeemobile No. 1 was built at Pontiac's Fremont assembly plant and equipped with the code XE 389 four-barrel with A.I.R. It was Martinique Bronze with a black top and Fawn interior. Options included power steering and brakes, two-speed automatic, power windows, and console.
A second Monkeemobile was built as a promotional vehicle, and it toured the country in support of the show. It was identical to the first vehicle except it came from the factory with air conditioning. It was displayed at shopping centers and fairs to help promote the show and the Monkees' merchandising machine. It was not used in the filming of the show because it was always on the road. That one was recently sold at auction by customizer George Barris, who was not involved in building either of these two originals.
The actual catalyst to the project was George Toteff, who at the time was the CEO of Model Products Corporation, better known as MPC. Toteff had customizer Dean Jeffries on contract to design customizing parts for its line of annuals and model-car kits, and to consult on other projects as well.
At the same time, Jeffries was also contracting to Universal Studios, which would produce the Monkees' TV show. He was chosen to build a customized car for use on the show, which at that point hadn't begun production, and a car had not yet been chosen.
Jeffries had mentioned these developments to Toteff, who in turn told his friend Jim Wangers about the opportunity. At the time, Wangers was working for Pontiac's advertising agency, MacManus, John & Adams, and he instantly saw the show as a huge promotional opportunity for Pontiac. He quickly cemented the deal with the show's producers.
Wangers ordered two base-engine, automatic-transmission '66 GTO convertibles to convert into Monkeemobiles. The deal also stipulated that new Pontiacs would be supplied to the stars of the show and the producers. It was a win/win, because the cost of eight or ten cars would pale in comparison to the amount of exposure Pontiac would receive in return.
For his help getting the deal together, Toteff was granted exclusive rights to market a Monkeemobile model kit. More than seven million MPC Monkeemobile kits were sold, so he received his payday as well.
Meanwhile, back in Detroit, Wangers knew the cars were to be heavily modified, and that the overly conservative GM management was not going to like what Jeffries was going to whip up. They didn't have a real understanding of the youth market and were often resistant to promotional ideas outside their comfort zone that were nonetheless working in the marketplace.
As he anticipated, Jeffries' design was much more radical than anyone at GM's design studios had envisioned. He did not follow the sketches that GM Styling had drawn up as a guide. Wangers knew he would have some explaining to do to his superiors. But Jeffries knew exactly what he was doing. Knowing that he was under contract to Universal and not to GM, he was well aware that he had to please the show's producers, and if GM didn't like it, so be it.
While the front end was easily recognizable as a GTO, the rest of the car was heavily customized, featuring extended and hooded front fenders, Cibie rectangular headlamps, heavy resculpting and lowering of the nose, a sunken hood, and a rolled pan where the bumper once was.
To further alter the look, Jeffries added a very tall, split windshield; a third row of seats in place of the trunk; a T-bucket-type convertible top; large fender flares; exaggerated taillamps; and even a parachute. The show's producers wanted a one-of-a-kind look, and Jeffries delivered a bright red carnival on wheels. Both cars were completed in less than one month.
There were also mechanical modifications. A 6-71 supercharger was put on the engine in the first car, and they solidly mounted the rear axle. Jeffries also put weights in the rear so it would wheel stand. It had too much power for the suspension and was a difficult car to drive, so a dummy blower was installed after about a day of dealing with its unpleasant nature.
Monkeemobile No. 1 had a very interesting life, many years of which we will probably never know about. Here's what has been uncovered: It was sent to Australia to accompany the Monkees on a concert tour. For some reason it was left Down Under. It was rumored that the producers didn't want to spend the money to have it shipped back. Jeffries tried to retrieve the car, but it was too difficult to get the job done from Hollywood. It passed through a series of owners before showing up in Puerto Rico, where it was used as a hotel courtesy car for several years.
It was next seen in May 1992 in a government foreclosure auction in Puerto Rico. As it turned out, a sharp-eyed bidder made the $5,000 minimum bid for the now-pink Pontiac, and the car was sold to him—no one else knew what it was. It was brought back to the mainland and now resides in the metropolitan New York City area with its current owner, who wishes to remain anonymous.
Fortunately, the Monkeemobile was in great shape and only needed minor work to bring it up to snuff. At some point, the solidly located rear axle was rehung on leaf springs, but everything works as it should. The owner had it repainted and "The Monkees" door decals were replicated. A new top was also fabricated.
Monkeemobile No. 1 was reunited with the band back in 1997 for its ABC-TV special, which aired February 17 that year. The car was temporarily converted into a low rider to satisfy the script, but it was converted back to stock before it was returned to the owner. It made some appearances at shows on the East Coast for a year or two after that and was featured at the '97 GTOAA Eastern Regional Meet.
After that, it went into long-term storage. Only in the last couple of years has it been brought out. The owners contacted Tony Rota of Log Cabin Service in Tenafly, New Jersey, to handle the repairs necessary to get it back in working order after being dormant for so long. Tony has made every effort to maintain its authenticity, while at the same time keeping it in good working order.
To be sure, the car has quite a bit of patina, but it runs and drives very nicely, as I was delighted to find out firsthand. Your author had a chance to ride shotgun in the Monkeemobile at the 2013 POCI-GTOAA Co-Vention and it was like meeting up with an old friend. I had not seen it since I was hired as a production consultant for the '97 Monkees-reunion TV show, and it was a treat to see it looking so good.
Riding around in it was such a thrill. I couldn't help but think of the lyrics to the Monkees' theme song. We really did get the funniest looks from everyone we met. The car caused a panic as it rumbled around. People were waving and shouting out to us. It was really fun to ride around in such a legendary machine. It is something I will remember for the rest of my life.
Monkeemobile No. 1's owners are planning to bring it out to some shows in 2014, including GM at Carlisle. If you can work out a chance to see this iconic machine in person, you really owe it to yourself.

The fenderwells were cut and extended to allow for a quartet of exhaust pipes. Only two are functional per side, fed by a small muffler just aft of the exhaust manifolds.Though the engine looks ferocious, it's a stock 389 four-barrel hooked to a two-speed automatic. The fake blower and injector scoop sit over the carb. A real blower was installed for a wheelie film sequence, but the car was too unpredictable to drive safely, so it was removed.This close-up gives an insight to the immense amount of sculpting and reshaping done to the nose. The entire front end is much lower and shallower than stock, and the production-stacked headlamps are traded for Ciebie rectangular units housed in rounded-off housings. The leading edges of the front fenders are also reshaped, as is the beaked nose. Also note how the hood dips downward to meet the header panel, which also exaggerates the size of the blower.Anyone who questions this car's authenticity will have a hard time explaining this away. Inside the glovebox door is Dean Jeffries' original decal featuring his family coat of arms.

Synchronicity (Remastered): The Police: MP3 Downloads for $3.99
The Police were rather ground breaking and edgy in the 80s. Unfortunately, a person on my dorm hall played "Roxanne" night and day and made me hate that song and I colored my entire opinion of the Police based on that. Once I got over it and heard more, I was hooked. I love Sting. I love the Police. This may be their best album. Enjoy ! {Note: 2003 remastered version}
The tracks:
1. Synchronicity I
2. Walking In Your Footsteps
3. O My God
4. Mother
5. Miss Gradenko
6. Synchronicity II
7. Every Breath You Take
8. King Of Pain
9. Wrapped Around Your Finger
10. Tea In The Sahara
11. Murder By Numbers

Alternate band name: "The Police: When Sting Was Playing Rock and Not Adult Contemporary."
Also, "Mother" is my ringtone when my mom calls me.
"The telephone is ringing! Is that my mother on the phone! The telephone is screaming! Won't she leave me alone?"
Just kidding. Love ya, mom!

Using Auto Complete with ExtJS Text Field
Hi All,
I am looking for an example showing the usage of autocomplete feature of TextField. I want to use autocomplete feature to suggest different countries.
I am referring the Combox examples at http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/samples.html
Or can any one provide me link or starting point

TextField doesn't have autocomplete support. Only ComboBox has, but you can make it look like a textfield by adding hideTrigger:true.
ps. What is wrong with the combobox examples from the SDK? Don't they show you how to use the typeAhead config option?
8 Dec 2008 9:26 PM #3
I have a question similar to nikhilwalker. I have implemented a combobox from the examples however, how would I go about being able to submit the typed it text and not be forced to select the first result. With the example from the SDK you are forced to select one of the items from the drop downs.
My goal is to create search box as found at google. Typing provides hints, but you dont have to actually choose one.
I tried 'forceSelection' but that defaults to false anyway. I'm new to ExtJS but my guess is that the reason i'm having trouble is that the example from the sdk uses the onSelect handler. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I know I'm encouraged to post code but it really is directly from the combobox w/ templates example that searches this forum.
17 May 2009 2:14 PM #4
was a solution ever found to this?
Posting the text entered rather then the actual value?
27 May 2009 11:26 PM #5
I am also trying to implement this sort of TextField looking ComboBox. If the user types "met" and a match for "metallica" is found, and the user presses Enter, the value "met" should be in the field, instead of "Metallica". "Metallica" should only be chosen when the user presses the down-arrow key and implicitly selects it.
I tried overwriting onTypeAhead() in ComboBox but this doesn't help.
3 Jun 2011 1:32 PM #6
send the entire contents of the combobox for each keystroke to the server (queryParam i think). On the server, parse out the last word, get suggestions, and send what was typed prepended to each suggestion. So they are not forced to select a suggested phrase, send the typed text as first choice.

want autocomplete to filter box of grid panel
I already used a combobox and its working fine. But now I want autocomplete functionality with Grid panel. It have filter On columns and i want autocomplete on that filter.
Here is my code: I am using some perl code also.
var filters_config = {
ftype: 'filters',
filterCls: 'filter-sort .x-column-header-text',
onCheckChange: function (item, value) {
// This function will return filter settings for all columns and build query to set filter setting on respective column.
onBeforeLoad : function (store, options) {
options.params = options.params || {};
var params = this.buildQuery(this.getFilterData());
Ext.apply(options.params, params);
if(params.filter) {
filterSetting = Ext.decode(params.filter);
} else {
filterSetting = null;
var grid = Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', {
title: "<% 'tabdiv_' . $tab_divid_cnt |n%>",
id: "<% $grid_id |js,h%>",
columns: column,
store: grid_store,
columnLines: true,
loadMask: true,
tbar: tbar,
features: [filters_config],
renderTo: Ext.get('<% 'tabdiv_' . $tab_divid_cnt |n%>'),
layout: 'fit',
header: false,
enableColumnMove: false,
% if ( not $fetch_data_from_server) {
autoHeight: true,
viewConfig: {
deferEmptyText: false,
emptyText: "<% defined $no_result_html ? $no_result_html : escape_html($no_result) |n%>",
autoscroll: true,
enableTextSelection: true
% } else {
height: Ext.getBody().getViewSize().height - 150,
width: Ext.getBody().getViewSize().width - 240,
% }
listeners: {
afterrender: function(grid) {
if (!columnSetting && <% $fetch_data_from_server || 0 |h%>) {
grid.getStore().guaranteeRange(0, <% $display_size |n%>);
else if (filterSetting) {
// This is use to set filter icon when page get reload
columnhide: function(columns, column, opt) {
if (Ext.getCmp(columns.container.id)) {
var columnStruc = columns.items.items;
if (Ext.getCmp(gridId).filters.getFilterData()[0]) {
filterSetting = createFilterSetting(Ext.getCmp(gridId).filters.getFilterData());
columnStruc[0]['filterSetting'] = filterSetting;
bx.extStateful.saveState(columns.container.id, columnStruc, <% $uid |n%>, 'PUT');
columnshow: function(columns, column, opt) {
if (Ext.getCmp(columns.container.id)) {
var columnStruc = columns.items.items;
if (Ext.getCmp(gridId).filters.getFilterData()[0]) {
filterSetting = createFilterSetting(Ext.getCmp(gridId).filters.getFilterData());
columnStruc[0]['filterSetting'] = filterSetting;
bx.extStateful.saveState(columns.container.id, columnStruc, <% $uid |n%>, 'PUT')
Weather I required to add some parameters in filters_config or any other way to add autocomplete functionality.I want autocomplete means when i type a letter in filter textbox of grid panel, related search list according to that letter is needed to displayed.

In 1799, James Monroe and his family moved into Highland, their Albemarle "cabin castle," adjacent to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Jefferson, Monroe's teacher and close friend, had previously urged him to move to the area to create a "society to our taste."
Today, guided tours of the fifth president's home are offered daily and explore Monroe's contributions to the early American republic over 50 years of public service. Set on more than 500 acres, the house, which includes a rich collection of original and period French and American furniture, is nestled along a ridge with a landscape preserved much like Monroe would have known it. Across the service yard, the reconstructed slave quarters stand alongside two original outbuildings.
People of all ages delight in strolling through the boxwood gardens, gazing up at the majestic 300-year-old Monroe Oak, and visiting with the resident sheep, chickens, and peacock that complete the bucolic atmosphere.
The Museum Shop features carefully selected Ash Lawn-Highland memorabilia, historical keepsakes, and an extensive line of books. Visitors can take home or share a piece of Virginia from the Artisans Room, which showcases locally handmade pottery, unique woodwork, fibers, stained glass, candles, quilts, leather goods, and jewelry.

The Charlotte 49ers have struck a partnership with CW 46 WJZY to bring broadcasts of the 49ers men's basketball Atlantic 10 road games at George Washington and Butler into the Charlotte market.
"We're excited to be able to make these games available to our fan base," said 49ers Director of Athletics Judy Rose. "We are pleased that WJZY was willing to work with us to make this happen and truly appreciate their partnership."
Shawn Harris, Vice President and General Manager of CW 46 was equally enthusiastic about broadcasting local college basketball on his station. "As the Official Broadcast Partner with the ACC, the local community already looks to CW46 and My TV12 to watch great college basketball. With the addition of these Charlotte 49ers games we are taking that to the next level. And unlike cable sports channels these games will be available over the air for free to every single home in the twenty-two county Charlotte TV market. The winners are the viewers."
The Jan. 26 game at George Washington at 2 p.m. is being broadcast by Comcast Sportsnet. The 49ers have worked with CW 46 WJZY to bring that broadcast back to Charlotte. It will air locally on CW 46 WJZY TV.
The Feb. 13 game at Butler at 7:00 p.m. is being broadcast on WISH TV/WNDY in Indianapolis. Although not initially available on satellite, the 49ers and CW46 WJZY also worked to make that game available to fans in the Charlotte market. It will air on Antenna TV on WJZY 46.2. Antenna TV can be found on Time Warner Cable 147 or 46.2.
Antenna TV is also available on Comporium (120), Charter (80), SkyBest (262), ComPas (143), ComPas Morganton (113) and RST Fiber (8).
These road game telecasts complement a schedule that has seen the 49ers appear on national TV five times during the non-conference season in addition to other regional broadcasts and a pair of ESPN3 broadcasts.
Charlotte is off to a 15-2 start in 2012-13, its best start since 1976-77. Charlotte travels to Richmond, this weekend and welcomes Xavier to Halton Arena for the annual Whiteout, next Wednesday. Fans can purchase tickets to the 49ers basketball games at charlotte49ers.com or by calling the 49ers athletic ticket office at 704/687-4949.

I am wondering if a biometric device can be used to generate some entropy or key material that would be stable across each authentication.
The contrary would be for biometric devices to act like an oracle, with a simple YES/NO answer to any authentication request.
What I am thinking about would be to gather the results of a biometric authentication and always come up with the same "number", which would be unique for any given biometric input.
For example, Alice biometric ouput would always be 64489c85dc2fe0787b85cd87214b3810, without having that number stored in advance somewhere, like I would generate a key from a password to decrypt something, without having store the password or key anywhere in advance.
I'm not interested (yet) in any standards or API for this, or in implementation details like the fact that all fingers from a same person would have a different (but stable) output. My question relates to the biometric authentication process inside the device.

I'm interested in using the AutoComplete library, but I do not want to provide it with a static list of completions like the example shows. Instead, I would like to use my own custom function that takes the input text and returns a list of completions.
I tried subclassing DefaultCompletionProvider, overriding the getCompletionByInputText method, but it doesn't appear to be called when Ctrl+Space is hit. Is there another way to override the backend in this manner?

Amy Harmon is a national correspondent for the Times, covering the impact of science and technology on American life. She has won two Pulitzer Prizes, one in 2008 for her series, "The DNA Age," the other as part of a team for the series "How Race is Lived in America," in 2001. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in science writing in 2013.
Harmon strives to convey information about science through narrative storytelling — a form she has heard is somehow thriving at a time when many people read exclusively on tiny screens while moving from place to place. (She would be more skeptical of this if she didn't find herself consuming many long-form pieces each week under similar conditions).
Harmon's series of articles on the gap between the public's negative perception of genetically engineered crops (GMOs) and the scientific evidence of their safety generated controversy on Twitter and elsewhere. One of them, on the pursuit of a GMO orange, drew criticism from the food activist and author Michael Pollan, sparking a broader debate that was reported on in the Columbia Journalism Review and the environmental website, Grist. The article, "A Race to Save the Orange by Altering Its DNA,'' won the 2014 Science in Society award from the National Association of Science Writers, and was included in the anthology, "Best Science and Nature Writing 2014.'' The three-part series, "The Facts About GMOs,'' won a 2014 prize for in-depth reporting from the Society of Environmental Journalists.
Autism has long been an interest of Harmon's. Currently she is collecting examples of the intense special interests often held by individuals on the autism spectrum. If you have examples or stories about these, please send them to her at email@example.com.
Harmon's article, "Autistic and Seeking a Place in an Adult World'' won the 2012 Casey Medal for excellence in reporting on children and families. She spoke about the (challenging) process of writing it at the Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference, and in a Q&A with The Open Notebook. Her story "Navigating Love and Autism'' won the 2012 feature writing award from The Society of the Silurians. A "My Little Pony" mixup in that piece earned Harmon a different kind of distinction, as the author of what some called "the best New York Times correction ever." Harmon later expanded the article – with the correct Pony — into a short e-book, "Asperger Love,'' co-published by the Times and Byliner.
Harmon's career began at The Michigan Daily, the student newspaper at the University of Michigan, where she earned a B.A. in American culture in 1990. In her first journalism job, as a researcher in the Detroit bureau of The Los Angeles Times, she ordered fax paper and wrote about the declining American auto industry. In 1993, Harmon transferred to the paper's newsroom in Los Angeles, where she parlayed an exotic skill she had learned in college — sending e-mail — into a beat on the rise of the Internet as a social and business phenomenon.
Harmon joined The New York Times in 1997 and continued to cover the social impact of digital technology before expanding her focus to science in 2005. Recently Harmon has written about her adventures on a tread-desk and the search for wildness on a family vacation on Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula. Here is a video of her surreal interview with a humanoid robot. In 2011, Harmon's "Target Cancer,'' series, about the human testing of a new kind of cancer drug, received the annual journalism award given by the National Academies of Science.
Harmon is interested in all the ways science and technology shape how we live. She speaks frequently to audiences of scientists, students, parents and patients, and welcomes suggestions for good stories to pursue.

I'm thinking of getting a non-ASCII Internationalized Domain Name (e.g.
thé.com). However my current domain registrar doesn't do IDNs. Their web form reports an invalid domain name when I try to enter it, and they claim they don't support it. Could I just register the puny code (in this case
xn--th-cja.com) with the registrar? Or do I need to go to a special IDN 'aware' domain registrar?
I'm thinking of getting a non-ASCII Internationalized Domain Name (e.g.
When you type an IDN for a non-IDN-supported TLD, FireFox goes and converts it into punycode instantly. Try it yourself: http://español.com/ 1 - you'll see it takes you to a parked domain.
This indicates that yes, you can register the punycode against the registrar and it will work, but perhaps not as you intended.
1SE's markup doesn't detect IDN urls, so you'll have to just copy/paste.
Farseeker please don't comment if you have no clue what you're talking about.. Check out some thai keywords on google.co.th .. Thai IDN's are already showing up on the first few pages of results... Unicode not Punycode.

It is a test page I made that has a Facebook login button. For some reason it just started (or I just noticed) to redirect to Facebook with an error page that says nothing but "An error occurred. Please try again later."
Does anyone know how to fix this or what is causing this?

Out my window...
....smoking building! This morning at 7 AM, I saw the building across the street had "visible dense smoke" pouring from its chimney. This is a regular occurrence and I complain loudly to myself. This morning by 9 AM, smoke still pouring out, our building's E-list went to work with confirmations that, "yes, there was smoke; it was coming from the building across the street, it smelled, and someone should do something about it." 311 was called, a complaint lodged with the EPA; all done very efficiently. Of course, it may take weeks for the EPA to check it out.In the meantime, out the window I saw a man on his cell phone pacing in front of the building with the smoking chimney. He was gesturing, he kept looking up, talking in a lively manner (though I could not hear him). He stopped people passing and pointing up as if to collect a gang of witnesses to the smoke. He seemed to have on pajamas under his jacket. Finally he went to the door and tried to get buzzed in...and failed. Finally he closed up his cell phone and walked into the building next door where presumably he lives. Who had he been calling? 311? 911? the local police precinct? We'll never know.A busy morning for what seems to be a holiday.

I hope this comment is judged on-topic and acceptable. From what I can figure out, some New York City apartment houses are allowed to use #4 fuel oil, a form of bunker oil. Some years ago, I recall a discussion in the newspapers that said that the law allowed the houses to belch black smoke for a certain period of start-up. Ordinary homes use #2 fuel oil. Quoting an April, 2011, statement from Mayor Bloomberg on PlaNYC, "Just one percent of all buildings in the city produce eighty six percent of the total soot pollution from buildings more than all the cars and trucks in New York City combined. They do this by burning the dirtiest grades of heating fuel available, known as residual oil, or #6 and #4 heating oil."----Almost any winter trip in The Bronx on an elevated highway or rapid transit line, or an approach over the Whitestone Bridge, will show the traveler the foul columns of smoke arising from apartment house chimneys. Most of these were coal systems installed in the 1920's, converted to oil in 1957-1950 or so.
Thank you. Quite helpful (and on topic). The start-up is a possible explanation because when I just looked it had stopped. And I have seen it later in the afternoon and evening.I am hoping that somehow it was the man in his pjs who was responsible for putting out the smoke.
As a guy who works for the local electricity utility, I am amazed that in a place as large as NYC, the city has not forced landlords to upgrade older heating systems to either natural gas or electric. In CA we have laws that put strict limitations on the use of wood-burning fireplaces. It is against the law to build a house with a wood-burning fireplace and most folks have or are in the process of converting the older style fireplaces to either gas or electric.
And I do not know anyone who still uses fuel oil for heat; no matter the grade of fuel oil, it simply is too dirty-burninga fuel. For all I know, it might not even be allowed under CA law.
Out my window this morning... a guy on a bench (snow-covered) in below 0 weather, holding a tub of ice cream in his lap, eating it face-down like a dog.
Some friends of ours are coming to visit tonight and Lucia is going to make/bring Pozole Mmmm!Happy New Year!
Okay, I'll bite: Pozole?And just remember Ken, NYC was ahead of the times before it became behind the times...18th century city, after all.
The original pozole was the eucharist of pre-hispanic Mexico. It was a stew of corn and human flesh served on special days. After the Spanish Christianization of Mexico, pork was substituted and it lost its religious significancehttp://www.cronica.com.mx/nota.php?id_nota=317065
Oil pigs for storing home heating oil were common sights here in Michigan for decades. Many of our neighbors in the 1950s and '60s used fuel oil, and some even had pig faces and tails painted on them! Ah, the simple pleasures of folk art! Most have gone to propane, which is cleaner (and you can paint the tanks to look like little submarines!)However, I don't remember anything particularly noxious about oil-fueled homes. Wonder if the offender is burning some sort of fuel the furnace isn't suited to handle, or if the chimney needs cleaning?
We could use some chimney sweeps here in New York! It may be that a filter/scrubber/whatever, which I think buildings are supposed to have on their chimneys, is out of commission.
I think different parts of California have different restrictions on fireplaces. Here in central CA winter can get very smokey with all the woodburning. But I use electric heat. Many people use natural gas heaters too. I've never known anyone here with an oil heater ... it seems on a level with burning coal - from another time.
Here in northern New England oil heat was, and still is, standard. Propane is used by some, and though where I live now is thus heated, the house I left about 15 months ago had oil heat, and in that was like most others. Because we had a fireplace and a woodstove, we had the chimney swept once a year. There is lots of wood burning still, and more and more people are turning to pellets (what they emit, I have no idea). But natural gas is generally unavailable, though there are plans to put in a pipe line to bring it to us. I have no idea how these methods rank ecologically. Propane may burn more cleanly, but it is still a petroleum product, and perhaps its manufacture is harmful? And electricity, of course, has to come from a power plant that burns. . . . what?Heat remains important in this climate (we've just had almost 20" of snow, and the temperature is supposed to drop below zero tomorrow (New Year's Day). So I will curl up and stream the Vienna New Year's Concert or a repeat of it (unfortunately it begins at 5.15 AM local time if you get it on ORF - sterreichischer Rundfunk). But I like to get the whole thing, not just the bits PBS wants me to have on the television broadcast (along with the comments of Julie von Trapp Andrews, who still makes me think more of Liza Doolittle than the Frau Baronin Maria).But now I'm going ORF topic.
Electricity can be generated from a strong flowing river. I worked for Kaiser Aluminum here which used vast amounts of electricity to turn bauxite into aluminum. The company's power plant was fueled by the Mississippi River here, and it was said the plant was big enough to supply electricity to a small city. Does anybody know why isn't this process used more?
At the risk of being off topic.....A happy new year to all. May we all seek the anointing of the Lord and set the captives free. May all enjoy the freedom of the children of God.
Speaking of where electricity comes from, the electric company here has an option where a customer can pay slightly more to have their electricity come from a non-coal burning plant.
Abe Rosenzweig: Ah,....what? It was a stew of corn and human flesh served on special daysJohn Hayes: Seriously?Bill Mazzella: A happy and blessed new year to you! As an unreconstructed and unrepentant extremist right-winger, I salute you, an unreconstructed and unrepentant leftist-pacifist.Love and affection Bill.
Nicholas: Have been listening to the NPR version...not so bad. Last night we decided to see if there was really a "Radezsky March" as in the title of Joseph Roth's novel about pre-WWI Austro-Hungarian Empire. I assumed there was not, my English lit friend thought not as well. But Google turned this up: the 1987 Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Contest, Herbert von Karajan conducting the orchestra and the audience...Johann Strauss, Sr.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHFf7NIwOHQ
Bob Schwartz wrote "John Hayes: Seriously?"It isn't my field, but the link I posted is to an article that reports on a anthropological study on cannibalism in pre-hispanic Mexico. The headline is "Pre-Hispanic Mexicans Ate Pozole With Human Flesh"In part, it says:
El antroplogo seal que en el Mxico prehispnico, tras los sacrificios rituales en los que se ofrecan los corazones de la vctima a las deidades, el resto del cuerpo se coca con maz y era repartido entre todos los participantes en una especia de acto de comunin o slo entre determinados sacerdotesThe anthropologist pointed out that in pre-Hispanic Mexico, after the ritual slaughter in which the hearts of [human] victims were offered to the deities, the rest of the body was cooked with corn and was distributed in a sort of act of communion either among all the participants or only among certain priests
The anthropologists examined tool marks on human bones and recipes for cooking human flesh collected by Spanish missionaries.
A friend of my father's was a missionary in the Fiji Islands where there was cannibalism even when was young. The priest said they were told that people taste like pork. Well, that does seem to be one practice that is finally gone.Out my window today people were wearing light cotton clothes. It was 75 degrees today. Scrub those chimneys!
John Hayes:Doesn't reflect well on the indigenous Mexican culture. That's disgusting. Or is that a racist comment?
Nicholas Clifford, I tried to get the ORF concert online after reading your post last night but all I could get was jazz and that was not at all what I wanted. So tonight I tuned in to the PBS broadcast and was delighted that it ended, as apparently it always does, with The Radetzky March, because I just started to read Joseph Roth's masterwork of the same title. Thanks.
Bob - I have a very vague recollection from my undergraduate anthropology class, now very many moons ago, that anthropologists speculated that indigenous Mexicans practiced cannibalism at least in part because there weren't many other sources of animal protein available to them. They consumed insects for the same reason.I could be misremembering, and/or the theories may have changed since then.
Here is the Radetzky March, with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHFf7NIwOHQIt was also on the program at my son's middle school concert a couple of months ago. It does make one want to clap or whistle or hum along. I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn that someone has penned lyrics to it at some point or other.
Wow John Hayes, while you might not have the tendency to take the fun out of things, you certainly have a way of making pozole sound nauseating. If pozole was made as you describe, it has not been prepared in that manner for hundreds of years. Here is what I think, a better explanation of this tasty dish: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/posole_rojo/. . . Posole (or pozole) is a traditional soup in Mexico, often served Christmas Eve, and in many parts of the country, on Thursdays and Saturdays all year round. This posole rojo, or red posole, is made with pork shoulder or shanks, red chiles, and lots of hominy corn. . . . The soup itself should be rather thin or brothy, because you are going to load it up quickly with shredded cabbage, thinly sliced radishes, chopped avocados, cilantro, onions, and wedges of lime. More hot sauce or chiles can be added for more heat. Posole is all about the garnishes. So good! Many thanks to my good friend Arturo from Guerrero Mexico for showing me how to make this wonderful soup. http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/posole_rojo/
It appears that there is a Radetzky March, and that there is a non-cannabilistic Posole.
In 2003, an apology for cannibalism was offered for an earlier incident. The villagers believe that incident accounts for their lack of electricity and piped water over the past 146 years. A previous attempt at apologizing to the Methodist Church with an offering of boots had been ineffective. http://www.boston.com/news/world/articles/2003/11/14/cannibals_descendan... (I assume it is the black smoke common to the NYC furnace and cannibals' ovens that preserves the requisite on-topic coherence of this thread.)
Jim Pauwels, thank you very much for the link. It's a fun piece of music, although von Karajan looked ghastly. And I will keep the music in mind as I read the book (which appears to be a good choice for cold winter nights).

Haier Smart Window Refrigerator
The very clever motion-activated front panels on Haier's Smart Window fridges light up and reveal what's inside as you approach. It might be the coolest thing we saw in Germany this week.
Pricing not available
Frigidaire Gallery Custom-Flex 20.5 Cu. Ft. Top Freezer Refrigerator
Despite an appealing aesthetic and some attractive features, this fridge is too poor a performer for us to recommend.
Samsung 24.7 cu. ft. Side-by-Side Food ShowCase Refrigerator ( Stainless Steel)
We like it more for its performance than for its novelty factor, but if adding door-in-a-door functionality to your kitchen is a must, this well-rounded version of Samsung's Food Showcase refrigerator makes the most sense.
Frigidaire Gallery 22.2 cubic foot Counter-Depth Side-By-Side Refrigerator
As one of the only counter-depth refrigerators available for less than $2,000, this model might have you tempted, but its performance was too weak for us to recommend it.
Kenmore 23.8 cu. ft. Top Freezer Refrigerator ( White)
If you're looking to upgrade your refrigerator's features and storage capabilities without splurging on a trendy design, this fridge fits the bill, but other fridges just like it offer considerably better value.
Visit manufacturer site for details.
Kenmore Elite 29.9 cu. ft. French 4-Door Refrigerator ( Stainless)
This is a very well-rounded high-end fridge that you can get at a mid-range price. If stainless steel is a must, upgrade to the 72483 (or to the LG model it's based on). Otherwise, the 72482 offers the best value in its class.
Visit manufacturer site for details.
LG Diamond Collection French 4-Door Refrigerator
This is a decent fridge, but there are too many shortcomings to justify the price. Don't buy in unless the four-door Diamond Collection looks are a must-have for your kitchen.
Samsung RF32FMQDBSR
There's obvious appeal in such a good-looking fridge, but keep in mind that you can find better features and performance for less.
Visit manufacturer site for details.
Samsung RF28HDEDTSR
This is a fun, classy fridge, but it isn't quite as well-rounded as some of its key competitors.

Ok, I played this game some months ago, as well as Monster's den and monster's den : Book of the dread. Very good games, loved them.
But here comes Chronicles and something is really bugging me. In most game with a ''hit percentage'', when you are over 85%, it's always a hit. With very few exceptions.
Now, here's the deal.
I'm on Act V, normal difficulty, got a Warrior, a mage, a ranger and a cleric, all level 16.
I'm facing a Level 15 spectre.
When I aim for him, I get a hit percentage between 76 to 88, depending on the caracters and buffs.
But still, I missed him like 9 times out of 14 attacks. That's a 35% hit percentage. And to miss him 4 times back to back, with a 88, 76, 82 and 88 percentage, i didn't do the math, but i think i got more chance to win the lottery than for this to happens on every god damn monster…
So i would like to know if the dev added some hidden evade stats to monsters to make them harder (the game got lot harder if i recall) or if the hit percentage is simply fucked up…
But still a very good game serie Garin!
