Holiday Overview
Holiday Overview
- Trek to Everest Basecamp and Kala Patar
- Includes a full day to explore Namche Bazaar
- Enjoy some of the finest Himalaya mountain views
- Variation return trek via Phortse and across the Mon La
- While in Kathmandu, stay at the prestigious Yak & Yeti Hotel
This lodge-based trek follows the legendary 'Everest Trail' from the airstrip at Lukla. Within little more than 2 weeks, this is your chance to visit Everest Basecamp, trek to the exceptional viewpoint of Kala Patar and to experience the wonderful mountain scenery of the Khumbu. A memorable flight from Kathmandu to the airstrip at Lukla provides access to an alpine world where the air is crystal clear and colourful prayer flags flutter from the rooftops. Following the famous 'Everest Trail', we trek to the prosperous village of Namche Bazaar and onwards, alongside the torrential Imja Khola, to the high valley below Everest. During the course of this excellent and relatively easy-paced trek, we visit many delightful Sherpa villages, including the stunningly located Thyangboche with its impressive backdrop of Everest and Ama Dablam. Providing outrageous mountain views and a wonderful insight into the way of life of the hardy Sherpas, this is the perfect trip for a first visit to Nepal and the Himalayas.

Is this holiday for you?
Generally, the trekking conditions on this Nepal holiday are relatively easy, following good paths and yak trails throughout. Additionally, as the Khumbu is Nepal's most popular trekking destination, the area is well supplied with teashops and lodges and the trails between these are well used and present easy walking conditions. It should be noted however, that trekking at altitudes above 3000m makes greater demands on the body than walking at low elevations, and is of itself challenging even for fit hikers. Our itinerary is well staged to allow the best possible acclimatisation and includes extra days at Namche Bazaar and Dingboche. You should be capable and comfortable with walking for 4 to 6 hours each day and for several days continuously. This classic walk-in to the south base camp of Everest should be within the capabilities of fit and active hikers.

Fly Kathmandu to Lukla. Trek mainly downhill following the river to Phakding.
After an early breakfast, we take a bus to the domestic terminal of Kathmandu Airport for the 40 minute flight to Lukla. Landing on the narrow, sloping runway in the heart of the mountains is a very spectacular way to arrive. To assist with acclimatization, we allow 2 days for the walk up to Namche Bazaar and we start our trek with a downhill leg, from Lukla to Phakding beside the river. The altitude at this first stop is actually lower than Lukla at 2610 metres.

Trek from Phakding to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar (3400m). Rest of day free to explore.
A very pleasant walk by the river through pine forest leads to a short climb to escape a narrow gorge section. We pass the entrance to the Khumbu National Park where details of our permits are recorded and then drop down again to the river that we cross on a suspension bridge. We continue up the wooded valley on a good trail and cross the river again before reaching a confluence of rivers one coming down from Thame and the other from the Khumbu. We make a final crossing here on a spectacular high suspension bridge and then begin an hour and half long ascent to Namche on a wide switch back trail. This is the sting in the tail of today's otherwise gentle ascent, and one of the steepest of the trek. About an hour below Namche, we gain our first views of Everest. On arrival in Namche, we check into one of the town's many lodges. Altitude at overnight accommodation is 3400 metres.

Rest and acclimatisation day in Namche. Optional hike to viewpoint of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam.
Namche Bazaar is tucked away between two ridges amongst the giant peaks of the Khumbu. An ancient market place where goods from as far away as Tibet were and still are traded, Namche today boasts an abundance of lodges, cafes, bars and souvenir shops. It is an ideal place to spend a rest day, acclimatising to the new altitude before heading off towards Thyangboche. Options for acclimatisation walks include the one-hour walk up to the Everest Hotel above the village for the spectacular view of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest.

Trek to Thyangboche (3860m) located on a ridge below the impressive north ridge of Kang Taiga.
A relatively easy day of trekking, although at this altitude it will still feel tough on the uphill section to Thyangboche at the end of the day. The trail today is spectacular in terms of scenery. The main trail out of Namche heads in a northwesterly direction climbing steeply out of the town to a ridge crest where a wonderful view of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam is revealed. Our trail now follows a contour high above the river with occasional short climbs as we cross a series of ridges. At the end of this contour trail is the tiny settlement of Kangjuma where various items of local art and craft, jewelry and even yak bells are laid out to entice passing trekkers to buy a souvenir of their visit. From Kangjuma the trail descends to a bridge across the Imja River at Phunki. Beyond the river, we climb a long ridge to Thyangboche (3860m) one of Nepal's finest monasteries. We have the chance to look around the monastery and the visitor centre there. This is a popular place to overnight as it not only affords a good view of the Everest/Lhotse massif but is also the classic viewpoint for Ama Dablam. However, water is scarce here and the lodges are often crowded so we may opt to continue for a further 20 minutes, descending to a lodge beside the river at Deboche.

3 hours trekking takes us to the village of Pangboche, where there is the oldest monastery in the Khumbu. An hour beyond Pangboche, there is a good lunch stop the small Sherpa hamlet of Shomare and then it is a further 3 hours walking, gaining height very gradually, to Dingboche (4410m) at the entrance to the Khumbu Valley. We overnight in one of the relaxing lodges in this picturesque Sherpa village.

In accordance with our careful program of acclimatisation we will spend two nights at this altitude before moving further up the Khumbu valley. We make a day hike into the upper Imja Valley, to Chukkung (4730m) below the tremendous 3,000 metre south face of Lhotse. In the afternoon having gained valuable acclimatisation and feasted on the impressive ice flutings and ridges which surround us, we retrace our steps to Dingboche. Our second night in the Dingboche lodge. There are fantastic views towards Tibet and of Island Peak and Ama Dablam.

The trek today follows the Khumbu Valley and climbs to the tiny settlement at Dugla where we may decide to take a break for a leisurely lunch. Shortly thereafter, we reach the memorial to those Sherpas who have died on Mount Everest. Here, the trail starts to level out, following the lateral moraine on the west side of the Khumbu Glacier to Lobuche (4910m) opposite the towering pyramids of Nuptse and Lhotse.

Trek to the Yak pastures at Gorak Shep. (5140m) at the base of Kala Patar.
Lobuche is the traditional start point for the final day's trek all the way to Everest base camp. However, if the group is sufficiently acclimatised we will today trek up as far as Gorak Shep, which will make the following day's trek to base camp much easier. We begin by following a trail through the ablation valley at the side of the Khumbu Glacier gaining height steadily. At this point the glacier is still hidden from us by the moraine, but as we climb to cross the rubble of a tributary glacier, we can see the great Khumbu Glacier stretching away down valley and also up towards the area of base camp. Beyond this tributary we reach an island of sparse grasses below the famous hill known as Kala Patar. This place is Gorak Shep, once a summer yak herding meadow in the middle of nowhere, this remote spot now boasts several of the highest lodges in Nepal. As to be expected at this altitude and in this remote spot, the lodges here are quite basic but they do have heated dining rooms and offer a degree of comfort. For those with energy to spare there will be time to make an afternoon ascent of Kala Patar to catch the sunset on Everest and, if the weather is kind, one of the most stunning alpine glow sunsets you will ever see. Altitude at Gorak Shep is 5140 metres.

Early morning ascent of Kala Patar (5500m) for classic view of Everest. Descend to Pheriche (4270m).
Aiming to make the most of the usually fine morning weather, we have an early start for perhaps the highlight of our trip, the approximately 2-hour ascent of Kala Patar. At around 5500 metres, this is one of the finest viewpoints for Everest and the Khumbu Valley. Returning to Gorak Shep for some refreshment we then retrace our steps to Lobuche, before descending the Khumbu Valley to Pheriche where we overnight. There is a permanent clinic at Pheriche, set up by the Himalayan Rescue Association and staffed during the trekking season by Western doctors. Altitude at our overnight accommodation is 4270 metres.

Leaving Pheriche, we soon reach a bridge across the Khumbu River and a junction with our outbound trail below Dingboche. We pass through Pangboche as on the way up, but here we now take a trail, which contours the hillside high above the river, offering great views across to Thyangboche Monastery beneath the towering face of Kang Taiga. We overnight in the lesser visited village of Phortse at the mouth of the Gokyo Valley. Phortse is a particular treat, as we get as close a glimpse in to traditional village life in Nepal as any where in the Khumbu.

We cross the river on a simple plank bridge and begin a steady climb on a switch-backing trail for 400 vertical metres up to the Mon La. From here we descend to rejoin the main Everest trail and continue to Namche Bazaar, which we reach after 4 or 5 hours. There will be time for sightseeing, souvenir buying and lunch, before we set off again for a further couple of hours easy hiking, mostly downhill to Monjo.

Here, we begin the final climb of the trip (the sting in the tail) with a 45 minute steady ascent up to the airstrip at Lukla. Arriving at the bustling town we check into a lodge and tonight we will no doubt celebrate the end of a great trek.

A Typical Day
Shortly after first light you should wake and start packing your kitbag and making preparations for the day. Coming down to the lodge dining room we will be served with a hot breakfast before setting off on the days trek. We will generally reach our lunch stop by mid-day after around 3 or 4 hours walking. Lunch taken at a teahouse along the route usually takes about an hour and is a great time for relaxing, reading and sitting in the sun. Porters usually catch up with the group during lunch and are well on their way to the evenings stop as we set off again. It is usual for the afternoons walk to be shorter than the morning session. After checking in to your room you may wish to relax with a cup of tea or a beer on the terrace of your lodge before taking dinner. This is a great time of day for reliving the events of the trek so far and for general socialising. By 9.00pm most trekkers will have retired to bed and by 10.pm the whole lodge will be asleep.
Internal flights
Access to the high and remote areas of the Himalaya where our treks start is often only possible using internal flights. The changeable nature of mountain weather makes flying conditions complex. In addition, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal does not operate to the same standards as those of western nations and all airlines in Nepal appear on the European Commission's list of airlines that are banned from flying into EU member states. Flying in Nepal is an acknowledged risk, and the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice provides further details which you can read on their website at: www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/nepal/safety-and-security. KE is mindful of its duty of care to clients travelling with us in Nepal and we were stakeholders in an independent air audit of Nepal airlines undertaken by UK tour operators during 2015. KE uses only four airlines in Nepal which were approved by this audit as safe carriers. These airlines are: Yeti Airlines, Tara Air, Buddha Air and Simrik Airlines. In addition to this both Tara Air and Yeti Airlines have fulfilled the IATA Standard Safety Assessment (ISSA) - a new global safety standard for commercial airlines operating smaller aircraft www.iata.org/whatwedo/safety/audit/issa/Pages/index.aspx. We continue to cooperate with other tour operators to monitor aviation safety in Nepal and will ensure we remain a stakeholder in any further air safety audits. While we have taken appropriate action to try to minimise the risks of flying in Nepal, you should be aware that flying in mountainous terrain is not without any risk.
Please note that poor weather can cause delays on internal flights. If at the start of your holiday internal flights are cancelled for the day, you will spend an extra night near the airport and this may be at a hotel other than the group hotel. On the majority of trips there is enough flexibility in the trekking itinerary to make up 1 or possibly 2 lost days, but alternative arrangements must be made if internal flights are cancelled for a subsequent day. For trips that end with an internal flight out of the mountains with no alternative road access, we have included 2 nights in Kathmandu as a contingency against delay. Helicopters can sometimes fly when the scheduled fixed wing aircraft cannot. If your group is offered the opportunity to use a chartered helicopter, either flying up from or back to Kathmandu, the cost will be shared between those choosing to take this option. In the extremely unlikely event that flight cancellations cause you to miss your homeward international flight, KE will render all assistance, but cannot be held liable for any extra costs incurred. We advise you to take out suitable insurance and to keep your receipts, as you may subsequently be able to make a claim.
Group Leader & Support Staff
Spending Money
Approximately £250 - £300 (or equivalent in US dollars, Euros etc.) should be allowed for miscellaneous expenses including porter and trek crew tips, beer, soft drinks etc. It is not necessary to obtain local currency prior to departure. Sterling, US Dollars and Euros are equally acceptable for exchange in Nepal. We recommend that you carry your travel money in the form of cash, since you will exchange the majority of this on the day of your arrival in Kathmandu. If you prefer not to carry all of your spending money in cash, it is possible to withdraw money from ATMs in Kathmandu using your debit or credit card. During the trek it is possible to buy snacks, chocolate, soft drinks and beer on most days. Please be aware that since everything has to be carried up, these items become more expensive as you gain altitude.
Guidance on Tipping
Tipping is the accepted way of saying thank you for good service. Tips do not form part of the wages of your guides, porters and trek crew but they are very much appreciated. It is important to remember that tipping is voluntary and should be dependent on good service. Normally the tips are given at the end of the trek and this is best done as a group. Your trek leader will give you help and advice on this. Most groups will give the tips with a bit of ceremony (or sometimes a party) on the last evening, to mark the end of the trip. As a guide, we recommend that each group member contributes around £50 - 60 (in rupees) to these tips. At the end of a trek many people also like to donate various items of their equipment to the porters and trek staff who work so hard to make the trip a success. Boots, gloves, hats, scarves and even socks (clean of course) are always warmly received by the porters. Technical clothing and equipment such as head-torches and trekking poles are highly prized by the Sherpa crews. If you think you would like to donate equipment at the end of your trip, your local trip leader will make arrangements for a fair distribution among the trek crew.
Baggage Allowance
Your baggage on trek will be carried by porters or pack animals. The packed weight of your trek bag whilst trekking should be no more than 15kg (33 pounds). For all flights to and from STOL airstrips in Nepal, the maximum allowance for hold baggage AND hand baggage combined, is 15kg. It is essential you keep the total weight of your baggage within this limit. This weight allowance is normally strictly enforced and excess baggage will be charged. Please be aware that you will have to pay for this at check-in. It is possible to leave clothes or other items not required on trek at the group hotel in Kathmandu.
KE Trek Bag
All KE clients will receive a FREE KE trek bag. These have been specially made to stand up to the rigours of adventure travel. Your KE bag will be posted to you when your trip is guaranteed to run or on receipt of your booking if the trip is already guaranteed. If you have travelled with us before and already have a KE trek bag you can select an alternative free gift in the booking process.
This holiday involves going to very high altitude. During the course of your trip you will be spending at least one night above 4000 metres and/or trekking to 5000 metres or above. This is not something that you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but it is important that we follow some simple rules in order to acclimatise successfully. Before coming on this holiday you should read the advice on trekking at high altitude. Unless you have previous experience of trekking above 4000 metres you should consult one of our trekking experts before embarking on this holiday. On this trip we carry a portable altitude chamber (PAC-bag) and/or bottled oxygen for use in emergencies.
Equipment List
The following checklist should help you with your packing. As a general rule, you should always try to keep the weight of your equipment to a minimum. The packed weight of your trek bag while trekking should be no more than 15 kgs. For all flights to STOL airstrips in Nepal, the maximum allowance for hold baggage AND hand baggage combined, is 15 kg. It is essential you keep the total weight of your baggage within this limit. Paying for transportation of excess baggage is not normally an option on these flights. It is possible to leave clothes or other items not required on trek at the group hotel.
You must bring the following items:
Hiking boots
Trekking trousers
Waterproof overtrousers
Baselayer shirts
Casual shirt and/or T-shirts
Fleece jacket or warm jumper
Waterproof jacket

Please make all requests at least 6 weeks prior to the trip departure date. Please note all hire / rental equipment is issued in Kathmandu. Please remember to allow room in your trek bag for these items.
The Nepalese are still traditional and conservative in the way they dress. Therefore to avoid embarrassment on both sides we recommend that you respect this and do not wear revealing clothing or sleeveless tops while visiting Nepal. Shorts are acceptable, but they should reach to just above the knee and be modest and for women it is preferable to wear trousers or a long skirt.
Group Size and Holiday Status
For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in 'Dates and Prices' table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status and so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.
Passport & Visas
A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required. The information that we provide is for UK passport holders. Please check the relevant embassy or consulate for other nationalities. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents and visas for your holiday. Visa requirements and charges are subject to change without notice. If you are travelling outside the EU you should have at least 2 blank pages in your passport for each country that you visit.
Transit via India
If you are travelling via India (Delhi or Calcutta) to your destination you may also require a visa for India. This may apply even if you are not leaving the airport unless your baggage has been checked all the way through to your destination. Generally, if you use the same carrier for both legs of your journey, you will not need an India Visa. Please download the detailed information document: Visa PDF India.
Visa Nepal
All nationalities require a visa. The visa fee is $25 for 15 days, $40 for 30 days, $100 for 90 days and is obtainable on arrival. Payment must be made in cash and USD, GBP or Euros are accepted. You will require 2 passport photos.
For all the regions of Nepal that we visit an additional permit is required. This is included in the holiday price and KE will apply for it, with your full passport details and 1 passport photo (sent by post or emailed). You must supply this to us at least 4 weeks prior to departure.
For the following holidays, in addition to the above, we will also require you to supply a copy of the information page of your passport (sent by post or emailed).
These trips are: Kanchenjunga (KAN), Mustang (MUS), Dolpo (DOL), Manaslu (MAN), Hidden Valleys of Naar and Phu (NAP), Naar to Mustang (NTM), Humla and Limi Circuit Trek (HUM), Naya Kanga and the Ganja La (NKG), Yala Peak and the Ganja La (YPGL), Tent Peak (TPK), Ramdung and Parchemo (RAM), Mera Peak, Island Peak and the Amphu Labsta (MIP), Island Peak Climber (IPC), Peaks and Passes on Nepal (MTR); Mera Peak Climb (MER); and Chulu Far East & the Tilicho La (CTL); Tabsar Peak and the Tsum Valley (TVC), Mukot Peak (MKP).
Health & Vaccinations
You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid. Malarial prophylaxis is not usually required for trips in the mountains, however if you are visiting rural and remote low lying areas then they might be necessary. On holidays to more remote areas you should also have a dentist check up. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro.
The unit of currency in Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee.
Electricity Supply & Plug
We recommend you check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items at:
Preparing For Your Trip
It makes a lot of sense to spend some time before coming on a trekking holiday getting some additional exercise. The fitter you are, after all, the more enjoyable you will find the experience. Although the trekking on this trip is not difficult or sustained, hiking at altitude is more demanding than similar terrain at lower elevations. We suggest that you adopt a weekly exercise regime leading up to your trip. Regular hiking in hill country is the best training but any regular exercise such as jogging, squash and swimming is also good for developing cardio vascular fitness and stamina. Before coming on the trip we recommend that you make time for some longer walks in hilly country. It is also a good idea to do some reading about the culture of Nepal and of the Sherpa people who live in the Everest region. There are many books on this subject and some are listed opposite.
Know before you go
As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign & Commonwealth Offices 'Know before you go' campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas, and we recommend that all KE travellers take a look at the FCO Travel Advice for their chosen destination on the official FCO website: www.fco.gov.uk. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.
KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation. We receive regular updates direct from the FCO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.
October through to May is the best time for trekking in Nepal. These months outside of the summer monsoon season offer the best conditions for trekking. Pre-monsoon from March to May is the main climbing season for Everest and at this time there will be many expeditions at the base camp. This is also the time to see the colourful blooms of the rhododendron at lower elevations. The post-monsoon months usually offer the clearest skies and the most settled weather. You will encounter a wide range of daytime temperatures during your holiday. In October/November and April/May this will range from approximately 25C in Kathmandu to approximately 14C at 3000 metres, and approximately 3C at 5000m. From December to early April, temperatures will average around 5C lower than this but at any time of the year the real feel temperature in the middle of the day will be much warmer. At night in the rarefied air the temperatures plummet. You can expect to experience overnight temperatures below freezing once above approximately 4200m. (above 3000m from mid December) and at our highest overnight stops, outside temperatures may drop as low as minus 15C. Extended periods of rain or snow are very unlikely outside of the monsoon period but short-lived storms can and do occur.

Our holidays are generally organised to maximise the time spent on the activity you have chosen to come to Nepal for, with downtime in Kathmandu kept to a minimum. However if you have the time, it is well worth extending your stay in the capital both before and after your main holiday. Not only will this give a more relaxed feel to your holiday but the cities that make up the Kathmandu Valley are rich in ancient culture and architecture, while shopping for bargains in the maze-like bazaars is a memorable experience. We can arrange extra nights in Kathmandu staying in any of the hotels displayed.
The prices shown are a guideline only, as they are dependent on the time of year and room type. It is usually the lowest price which is displayed. Please contact us for a quote or simply request your additional nights hotel requirements on your booking form. Please note that all hotels are subject to availability.

Let S and S' be closed [Edit: orientable] surfaces, then it is well known that for S' to cover S it is necessary and sufficient that chi(S)|chi(S'). (Here 'chi' denotes the Euler characteristic).
However, if S and S' are punctured surfaces then the above condition is necessary but no longer sufficient.
Is the question of determining necessary and sufficient criteria for S' to cover S answered in the research or expository literature?
I think that I know such criteria and want to use them a paper that I'm working on but (a) may be deceiving myself and (b) want to know whether I should write up a proof anew or whether there's a suitable reference. Surely the relevant criteria have been rediscovered many times, but I've never seen them discussed in writing.
Edit: Thanks Pete, I should have demanded that my surfaces be orientable

I play guitar using this scale....this is C major I think...(I don't know the name...but I follow the number on the music note, and it works. ):
But once I come across with this in one music notes:
as you can see, this is not a normal .1, it has a # sign beside it. How can I play this on my guitar? Thanks...

Setting up your Architect Touch projects to be used with SDK Tools v2 beta 3
First let me state that SDK Tools is under rapid development and this means 2 things
1. You'll be getting a more useful command line build tool that has less bugs
2. Architect will lag behind a bit in terms of support for SDK Tools so it can stabilize.
Currently the Package and Simulate (touch only) features in Architect support SDK Tools V2 Beta 2
Warning: Package doesn't work from Architect with beta 3 the command has changed from sencha package to sencha package build
With that said I don't suggest you wait to try out the new Beta 3 features of the Tools and so with that in mind here are the steps to make your Architect projects work well with the newest SDK Tools
Install SDK Tools V2 Beta 3
open a fresh command line interface (terminal, iterm, cmd.exe, etc ...)
Don't try to run it just anywhere as you might now get a node.js error
Download the Touch 2.x SDK
unzip the SDK
cd into that directory
running sencha should get you here http://cl.ly/0x1r3r1x3r011V0C2320
$ sencha app create st2 ../st2
now we'll take this newly created app directory and harvest some of the good bits
$ cd ../st2
$ ls -la
note the .senchasdk file
Now let's pretend we have a project folder created with Architect (touch of course) located at
cp .senchasdk ~/Code/citybars/
cp app.json ~/Code/citybars/
cp -r sdk/ ~/Code/citybars/
cp -r resources/ ~/Code/citybars/
cp index.html ~/Code/citybars/
Now you should be able to cd ~/Code/citybars
$ ls -la
$ sencha
should work just fine now with no [WARN]
Rest assured when SDK Tools stabilize we will be making the integration and improving the experience greatly

Thank you Phil.
You might like to know what you described worked for me (same versions as you) on both Vista and Ubuntu 10 for a simple boiler plate app created using sencha app create st2 ../st2.
However, I decided to try the Geocongress app with less success.
Initially it had the following error
http://localhost:8080/sencha/geocong...=1337145964390 404 (Not Found)
Ext.application({requires: [ 'Ext.device.Geolocation' ], .... [
I still get these errors that I can't seem to solve.
- Error evaluating http://localhost:8080/sencha/geocong...duction/app.js with message: TypeError: Cannot call method 'substring' of undefined
- Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'setValue' of undefined
Any ideas on those errors?
15 May 2012 10:32 PM #3-->
15 May 2012 11:20 PM #4
Thank you for your quick reply, I should have known that.
Regarding those errors here's some more information from index.html in the browser scripts console, not really sure what's happening here?
... function M() { H || (H = !0, p(o, function (a) { (new r(a)).store(); Error evaluating http: //localhost:8080/sencha/geocongress/build/production/app.js with message: TypeError: Cannot call method 'substring' of undefined i.location.reload() })) } ...
Thank you Worth for your suggestions, problem is solved with your help.
When I viewed the app from the project directory, it worked fine, so I didn't even look at the console for errors. I just did a production build and found those errors.
The errors in the console on the project directory told me all I needed to know, to wit, lots of missing requires. Added those and all's good.
16 May 2012 4:38 AM #5
Apparently you are looking at the minified code. Try testing the app from the browser, starting it up from your project directory (geocongress). You probably will get the same error but it may be easier to figure out the problem.
Another thing to try is build it with testing instead of production. I think this will give better debugging. I am guessing that the code will not be minified.
These are my guesses from a lot of experimenting with these examples.
16 May 2012 6:05 AM #6
Things should be added and there is a need for a final document on deployment I think
When following these instructions I indeed can get things to deploy.
However, there are still links for example in the app.html and index.html to /sencha-touch-2.0.1/sencha-touch-all-debug.js and sencha-touch-2.0.1/resources/css/sencha-touch.css
These should be changed before final deploy.
Also if you do not compress everything first (or do a build first) like mentioned here: http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/guide/command
you end up with a very sluggish app on your iOS device.
Or am I wrong ?-->
16 May 2012 6:47 AM #7
The sencha command adds these items to the app.js file:
icon: { '57': 'resources/icons/Icon.png', '72': 'resources/icons/Icon~ipad.png', '114': 'email@example.com', '144': 'email@example.com' }, isIconPrecomposed: true, startupImage: { '320x460': 'resources/startup/320x460.jpg', '640x920': 'resources/startup/640x920.png', '768x1004': 'resources/startup/768x1004.png', '748x1024': 'resources/startup/748x1024.png', '1536x2008': 'resources/startup/1536x2008.png', '1496x2048': 'resources/startup/1496x2048.png' },
Also this function related to updating is in the app.js:
onUpdated: function() { Ext.Msg.confirm( "Application Update", "This application has just successfully been updated to the latest version. Reload now?", function(buttonId) { if (buttonId === 'yes') { window.location.reload(); } } ); }
Keep up the good work. It is getting easier as I understand what is supposed to happen and changes are made to make Architect work that way.

I am trying to create a LaTex-style document with Section numbers of the form 1.0 and then subsection numbers 1.1, 2.1, etc. I need the numbering to be automatic such that if I insert a new subsection, the numbering of subsequent subsections will automatically adjust.

for a subsection, but you can add your own styling to the numbering. For example for a notebook using the default stylesheet you could set the style definition of
Which would produce sections like this
You can add automatic numbering using
I do not know how to automatically do this via the stylesheet, so unfortunately I'm limited to doing this every time I create a new headline. You can however copy+paste the automatic numbering, replace the actual caption in the new place, and you'll have just what you want.

After installing xampp, somehow localhost bugged on me.
I put my files, changed permissions, in the end deleted the xampp, but I always get this message:
It works!
This is the default web page for this server.
The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.
Wiped the folder, tried restarting either, there's no xampp but I'm still getting it, what's the problem?

I'm sure I've missed something quite obvious here, but I've always been told that adonai is "my Lord", and so I always assumed that it was adon with 'my' stuck to it. But, that would be adoni, with a hireq yod pronominal suffix, like in Gen 23 where the Hittites and then Efron address Avraham. Or, if it is 'adonai' as a type 2 pronominal suffix, it would be a pathach yod, and not the qamets yod we see in the text like in Gen 15:2 where Avram addresses God. What have I missed?

O, I believe, fate smiled and destiny
Laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able.
–Natalie Merchant
My 11-year-old grandson took his first trip off the diving board tonight. Two weeks previously, he couldn't swim at all.
Seeing an 11-year-old swim is normally not a headline. But, my grandson has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, which is a form of autism.
Seeing him jump in the pool was better than winning the lottery.
Having a grandson who can't swim is a frightening experience. What happens if he falls in water? I have not swum in several years but know I can. Could I get him to safety in case of emergency?
Now that issue is going off the table. He can make it to safety without me.
With a child with Asperger's Syndrome, it's the little things that mean a lot.
When he was first diagnosed, I spent a lot of time reading about Asperger's Syndrome and autism.
A lot of people with Asperger's wind up as Wall Street stock traders, professional gamblers or computer geniuses. There are some who believe that Bill Gates has a form of Asperger's.
I'm not expecting my grandson to grow up to be a billionaire like Bill Gates. I am hoping that he has a happy, normal and productive life – the same hopes every parent and grandparent has.
The first thing I learned about autism is that there is no such thing as a cure. There is a lot of education and special training needed. You don't suddenly flip a switch, or take a pill, and have an autistic child fill in the gaps in how his mind is circuited.
People who have children with autism learn what they can, find all the support and programs available and give love to their child with everything they have.
Thus, it is easy to get excited when a grandson jumps off the diving board and takes a swim.
I was surprised recently to find that my grandson was suddenly "cured" of Asperger's Syndrome.
It didn't come from being struck by lightning or due to the efforts of a faith healer like Oral Roberts.
It came from the American Psychiatric Association.
When the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders comes out, it won't list Asperger's as a diagnosis at all.
On the same day that my grandson made his successful leap off the diving board, the APA confirmed that it would maintain a new definition of autism, which will not list Asperger's as a possibility.
The irony is that for a long time he was unable to swim due to the sensory and motor issues associated with the disorder the APA is saying doesn't exist.
The "re-definition" by the APA came from a perception that Asperger's, and other forms of autism, were "over diagnosed."
In other words, according to the APA, the way to avoid paying for treatment is to suddenly decide that the disease doesn't exist at all.
That is an outrage that will keep thousands of children from getting help.
What happens when the children are 20, 30 and 50 years old and have never been counseled, educated or treated? A simple "change" in APA definition can damage children who could easily be helped.
My grandson is fortunate in one respect. Our family business, McNay Settlement Group, helps special needs children handle their money and plan for the rest of their lives.
His mother, aunt, and uncle are experts who know every financial vehicle and public program available to help children with special needs.
If health care reform is not overturned by the United States Supreme Court, several excellent new programs will be implemented to help autistic children.
There are a number of advocacy groups, such as Autism Speaks, that are springing up to help in this area. Last March I got to spend a few minutes with the AS founders, Bob and Suzanne Wright, when we were both on the CBS Morning News. (I was on CBS to talk about what to do when you win the lottery.)
Like me, the Wrights became committed to the cause when their grandchild was diagnosed with autism.
My grandson and I recently went to a baseball game. He is learning about the sport his grandfather loves. While we were there, he completely reprogrammed my cell phone. He fixed a problem in thirty seconds that Apple's tech people couldn't fix in three hours.
He's a great child with a big heart. With a lot of love, education and counseling, he will be able.
The jump in the pool was a big step forward – one that caused his grandpa to leap for joy.

I notice that WordPress uses the GPL 2+ license. Can I release my free theme under GPL 3.0, since that's the most current version? Would it create compatibility issues? Thanks!
Short answer: Yes.
I'll go through your question step by step so you can better understand why I write so:
This depends a bit to which version you are referring. The public available, stable version 3.0.4 is licensed under GPL (no version given). That was not always exceptionally visible, but WordPress was and still is GNU GPL non-version-restricted licensed indeed.
The next versions WordPress 3.0.5 and WordPress 3.1.0 will be released under GPL v2 (or at your option any later version).
Regardless to which version of Wordpress you refer to, you can create a derivate out of the Wordpress code by adding your theme code and license it under GPL 3.0. That's correct.
It's your choice that counts here, you can personally decide which version to use, and it's correct that this can be version 3 of the GPL. Please name the original license for parts in the package, so it's visible where a change occurred.
If you are concerned about the most current version and why/how to choose version 3, please see Why Upgrade to GPLv3 to learn about the differences to version 2. And keep in mind that you probably want to license that derivate under GPL v3 (or at the users option any later version).
You can upgrade/convert GPL or GPL v2+ code easily to GPL v3 but not that easily the other way round. That's explained as well in the link above and not a fundamental problem.
However, GPL v3 (2007) is compatible with additional FLOSS licenses compared to GPL v2 (1991) which makes it a preferable choice if you want to mix with Apache 2.0 code, as it is compatible.
And it is well updated for nowadays day-to-day use, for example if some of your users run into licensing problems, the termination is not per-se that fatal as it is for GPL v2.
For the highest amount of flexibility you can however release your theme under the terms of the GPL and create a derivate with the current stable version. This will ensure that it is the same way compatible as any derivate available today.
For WP 3.1 you're compatible in the same sense with GPL v3+, there is actually no need to go back to GPL v2 if that is what you're asking for/what you prefer. It won't introduce any licensing trouble AFAIK.
GPL Compatibility for the WordPress.org Theme Repository
If you're asking because of the theme repository on wordpress.org you need to look there for their licensing requirements.
Guidelines state that "Themes are required to be 100% GPL-licensed, or use a GPL-compatible license. This includes all PHP, HTML, CSS, images, fonts, icons, and everything else. All of the theme must be GPL-Compatible." (Source) and a compatibility matrix is linked.
But keep in mind, it's known that part of the WordPress core project might be biased to the one or other specific GPL version and the project might want to influence on theme authors as well, so you should better ask them first.
I assume that the theme directory admins will suggest you to use GPL v2+ for your theme nowadays, but I have no clue if that is a must or not.
As always, IANAL but I hope my feedback is of some value to answer your question.
You can, but it may make life more difficult for some companies that employ Armies of Lawyers®. GPL 3 is a leetle bit more hardcore than GPL 2 and them lawyer folks don't like change. It might (possibly) impact whether you can get it listed on
From the Codex, it says that:
I know it's been years since the question was asked, but for the benefit of others reading this:
Yes you can license your theme with GPLv3. For instance, the guidelines at wordpress.org currently state:
In fact, if you have included any code with the Apache license, you might have to go for version 3:

i'm developing an application for a university exam, using Appengine and Gwt (Google products) and i'd like to implement Facebook this way: - give the ability to a FB user to login to the application through facebook (did this implementing the oAuth2.0 flow, so now i have the user's access token and his permissions) - since the application is for being notified when a professor publishes some material for his course (this is all handled by appengine), i'd like to notify the user when a professor publishes some material, through a wall post or a note from my application in a way that it writes to the user something about the new published material.
I've been looking through EVERY single resource online, and couldn't find an answer: a lot of similar questions but no answers.
Writing the POST is not a problem, and for the moment i'm trying with the api graph explorer. I manage to write on the user's wall/note as if he's writing himself or (if the user likes the application) write all the likers a wall post/note (but the same to everyone).
But i don't find a way to send personalized wall posts/notes to every user in response to some specific material published. FB doesn't allow to do this because is considered spamming?

Seen this phrase written by a Chinese person:
[ài lǎohǔ yóu]
What does it mean? Failed to find it in dictionaries.
Is it some slang or 白话?
Seen this phrase written by a Chinese person:
What does it mean? Failed to find it in dictionaries.
The meaning is: 我爱你.I love you. 爱(ài, love) sounds like the English "I"; 老虎(lǎohǔ, tiger) sounds like "love"; 油(yoú, oil) sounds like "you".
It originally comes from the movie 狮王争霸. In the movie 十三姨 teaches 黄飞鸿 (played by 李连杰 (Jet Li)) how to say I love you. 黄飞鸿 pronounces it as 爱老虎油. Afterwards 黄飞鸿's father overhears it and asks what it means. 黄飞鸿 says it means 问好 (to send one's regards, to say hello to). The father later in the movie also uses this phrase (but of course in the wrong meaning), ... .
After the movie came out, the sentence became quite popular and is often used online (for example on sites such as 微博 (weibo) and QQ).
Whether you could consider it as slang is depending on how you define slang (there is a lot of discussion about that). If you follow this definition of Slang by Bethany K. Dumas and Jonathan Lighter (wiki link)
I would say it has become slang (the 4 bullets are all fulfilled).
It is not a slang.
This is the way some Chinese learn to pronounce
because they can't speak English.
Just a joke. It is a homo phonic joke between English and Chinese.

What is the best method to transfer a sharepoint site from one sharepoint install to another?
You have the following methods to move sites and site collections (there is a difference, so it helps if you know which one you're dealing with):
I've used the built-in backup / restore feature to move a site to a new install. In my case it worked without any real issues. These features are available in the Central Administration app or via stsadm.
Or you can do an export/import via stsadm
To move sites or site collections to another farm, I'd go with export/import. You'll have to pre-create a (blank) site on the target farm, however. Also, pay attention to the options of those commands, like includeusersecurity and the versions to include in the export.
I would not go with backup/restore, as this can cause conflicts with duplicate GUIDs. When you restore a site to a new farm, it only creates a new GUID for the site collection. All included objects like lists and items retain their GUID. You don't need to have a (blank) site in place when using this backup/restore.
A nice comparison of the 2 processes can be found in this article.
The easiest way is to just make a backup of the content db and reattach it to the new farm's sql server, then add the content db to the web app. Full urls in content (like for instance a publishing page's link to it's pagelayout) will need to be "realligned" though. (i.e. pages etc.)
The destination farm also has to be at the same product version (i.e. service packs and hotfixes) or higher as the source farm's installation. Usually installing the latest Cumulative Update on the destination farm solves that issue.
