Join Dan Kaercher for a pint of beer at Iowa's smallest brew pub in the north central part of the state.
Hosted by Dan Kaercher, Iowa's Simple Pleasures features Iowa travel destinations, restaurants, events, parks, recreation and more. Produced by Iowa Public Television, the series highlights fun things for Iowans to do, see and taste, right here at home. Below are excerpts from Dan's journal of his travels in the state.
Kaercher: Recently there's been a growing interest in various beer styles and small breweries have cropped up not just in large cities but in small towns like Northwood. The beer industry in Iowa is growing. Microbreweries and brew pubs are popping up all across this state. Of the more than 20 Iowa breweries, Worth Brewing Company is the only one located in the north central part of the state. It's found in Northwood, just about 4 miles south of the Minnesota border. What kind of beer are you brewing?
Ausenhus: Today we're brewing a very light beer. I call it my light dark beer. It's a darker beer but it's a lower alcohol at 3 percent or so. It's lower than your Miller Light or Bud Light.
Kaercher: Peter Ausenhus is the owner of Worth Brewing Company and brews all the beer. His wife and business partner is Margaret Bishop. Prior to moving to Northwood where they are family ties, the family lived in the Twin Cities, where Peter was a professional brewer at Summit Brewing Company in St. Paul. The husband and wife team opened Worth Brewing Company on St. Patrick's Day 2007. Peter tell me how did you come to operate a brewing company in Northwood.
Ausenhus: We had visited my grandparents and had been down here several times. We even got married on the farm down here. So we started looking around here, and about eleven years ago we bought an acreage south of Northwood, and that's the beginning of the story.
Kaercher: What's your brewing philosophy.
Ausenhus: We're probably the smallest licensed brewer in the country. There may be a few others the same size, but I know there are home brewers who make bigger batches than I do. So small would have to be one of the philosophies. It allows me to follow the process from grain to glass and the tap room at the front of the brewery.
Kaercher: How much beer do you brew here?
Ausenhus: Last year we brewed 67 barrels, which is the standard size for measuring brewing output. Compared to other microbrewers, we're pretty small, but that keeps me busy because we're only doing it 10 gallons as a time. But we do about 200, 250 batches of beer a year.
Kaercher: How many types of beers do you offer?
Ausenhus: We do five of the same beer year around, and we also do a new one every month. So at any one time we have at least six different beers available. Sometimes we'll have seven or eight. We were very happily surprised that we had good support from the local community. They're very proud of that mug that they have hanging up above the bar.
Kaercher: As a partner in the brewery, Margaret has many responsibilities, including marketing. She's knowledgeable about beer and enjoys helping customers explore their taste options. What do visitors usually want to learn about the Worth Brewing Company.
Bishop: Mostly they're here to try the beers. So what we like to do, we give everybody what they want, a little taste of a beer. We have our sampler set. They sit there and try each one of them. You get a lot of people that are very serious about their beers, and they'll bring in -- have little notebooks and make notes about each beer that they try. It's very fun.
Kaercher: Can you go on a tour of the brewery here?
Bishop: You can. We do some informal tours. If Peter is not busy running around, he'll take people back and show them the brewery and talk to them about it.
Kaercher: I'm intrigued by the brewery's ambience. The building is nearly 125 years old. You are located in a unique building. What was this place before it?
Ausenhus: This was the original Worth County Bank building built in 1886, and then 1935 a utility company had moved in here and did a major remodeling. It was a utility company until 2006 when we bought the building.
Kaercher: Tell me about the renovation process.
Ausenhus: We didn't know until we were in here working. Once we found that there was tile under here, we definitely wanted to expose that tile and the original wood floor from the bank.
Kaercher: The stained glass is so beautiful here.
Ausenhus: It's a hobby of mine. Of course, when we removed the plywood sign from the front of the building, we discovered there was some French stained glass panels. We were able to salvage those. I used a couple of the broken panels to do a stained glass piece to center it. But most of that is original to the front of the building's 1935 remodeling.
Kaercher: You've become quite involved in your community here, even writing a History of Northwood in a booklet. Tell me about that.
Ausenhus: Well, I'm part of a historical society in town. We got a grant a few years ago to help get our downtown district on The National Register of Historic Places. Now we have a booklet that we put together that allows visitors to come in and easily, on their own, walk down the street and get some information about each of the buildings.
Kaercher: So if someone would come and enjoy a glass of beer here at the Worth Brewing Company and then take that quick stroll downtown, what are some of the high points? Well, you'd want to look at some of the fine Victorian architecture in some of our buildings. Of course, the Keene Building, the Keene Block, that's where the Anchor Newspaper currently is on the corner. That's one of the more dramatic buildings in town. The Dillon clock, which is out front, is an important icon is in town. We have a beer, Dillon Clockstopper, named after that. There's a horse, human, and dog fountain down by the City Hall that you'll want to take a look at.
Kaercher: With the help of the booklet "A Walking Guide to Northwood," I took a stroll and met up with a historically savvy Northwood native. I understand you're actually in one of the historic photos inside the Worth Brewing Company. Tell me about it.
Bickford: My aunt and uncle own the Maidrite, which was directly behind the town water fountain. I had just graduated from high school and we were thirsty and we stopped for a drink.
Kaercher: For authentic, quality beer and a look at some small-town Iowa history, this brewery and community are well worth a visit to Northwood.

Any update needed to the migration pack when using the 4.1 release of Ext JS ?
It looks like the migration pack was not updated for a while, and so is the same after 4.1 was released.
Does anyone had problems using the old migration pack with Ext JS 4.1?
4 May 2012 12:39 PM #272
If you are referring to compatibility pack I tried it with 4.1 a day or two ago. I haven't migrated the whole app but it looks like everything works fine for now. Had a minor problem with stores and grids but nothing that could not be solved. I do remember I had to override couple of methods just to get things started but I think that compatibility pack is decent enough to start migrating.All Best

1- toolbar.insertButton is not aliased, see http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/3-4/#!...d-insertButton but calling "insert" instead does work with the same old parameter.
2- Ext.lib.Ajax.defaultHeaders is not aliased, but Ext.Ajax.defaultHeaders does work.
3- I get false warning about Ext.KeyMap. The code to detect looks very awful and so, of course, doesn't work. The last expression is very pessimist and in my case return a Menu and so it doesn't match string "Ext.util.KeyMap" and then generate a false positive. See like 144 of ext3-compat.js:
!= -1 ||
arguments.callee.caller.caller.caller.caller.caller.arguments[0] !=
"Ext.util.KeyMap") {
4- Compatibility pack has false positive error with Store constructor. This one is the most annoying. The code of Store and AbstractStore constructor use configuration like (model,fields)that is set to "this" or to the "config", whatever is it. My code, set it to "this" and doesn't bother to pass a config to constructor of Store or AbstractStore, then the conversion code intercept call to AbstractStore and somehow understand that model could be in "this" or "config" but just assume fields will be in "config:, see code:
else if (!this.model && !config.model){
if (config.fields) {
// shorthand store classes like ArrayStore and XmlStore support fields directly on the store config
fields = config.fields;
delete config.fields;
// this is required to be done, but skip the warning. In some cases TreeStore internally adds this. The bigger picture
// issue of configuring the store correctly will already be covered by other warnings.
// deprecate({pkg:'Ext.data.Store', msg:'Passing a "fields" config directly on the store\'s config is no longer supported. '+
// 'Instead you should configure a model and pass it as the store\'s "model" config. ' +
// 'Please see the header docs for Ext.data.Store for details on properly setting up your data components.'});
} else {...}
End-up with error: [BREAKING][4.0][Ext.data.Store]: A store was specified with no model, url, or fields configured. Please see the header docs for Ext.data.Store for details on properly setting up your data components. This is a breaking change that cannot be resolved in the compatibility layer!
5- xtype: 'tbbutton' is not handled. After a text search I found a file in the Ext JS 4.1 Release src folder src\toolbar\Toolbar-legacy.js that seems to handle that outside the migration code. I don't believe this file is ever mentioned in the migration guide and anyway should be handled by the migration code.
6 - In Ext JS 4.1 compared to 3.4, Field convert method is called even if the field is not included in the JSON. The default passed in will be empty String is no default was explicitly specified. Our code stopped to work because of this, our convert functions were only expecting data, not empty string.
7 - Support for Editing grid using old syntax is very limited, it doesn't support that your grid has initComponent function. The logic rewrite the class hierarchy bypassing anything not in config, see:
Ext.grid.EditorGridPanel = function(config) { deprecate({pkg:'Ext.grid.EditorGridPanel', msg:'EditorGridPanel no longer exists as a separate class. Instead just '+ 'create a standard GridPanel and include the CellEditing plugin, e.g. "plugins: Ext.create("Ext.grid.plugin.CellEditing", {...})'}); return Ext.createWidget('grid', Ext.apply(config || {}, { plugins: Ext.create('Ext.grid.plugin.CellEditing', {clicksToEdit: 1 }) })); }
9 - Inside BasicForm "this.items" doesn't work anymore, but "this.getFields()" does
10 - Doesn't handle setting columns of grid in initComponent, like: this.colModel = new Ext.grid.ColumnModel.... That will break on some migration library code assuming this.column exist.
11 - Store.root is not working if it's nested so with dot(s), like [root: 'message.body'] will not work, due to the too basic conversion done in the migration code provided by Sencha:Code:
loadData:function (records) { if (Ext.isObject(records)) { deprecate({pkg:"Ext.data.AbstractStore", member:"loadData", msg:"Passing loadData an object is no longer supported. Now just pass the array"}); records = records[this.proxy.root||this.root||"rows"]; } oldLoadData.apply(this, arguments); }
13- Combobox setValue method in Ext JS 4.1 also accept a Model/Record, it doesn't expect that in Ext JS 3.4, so we had issue with this.
14- Selection model class names changed and it's not aliased.
15- form field without a 'name' will use the 'id' instead of 'hiddenName' like it was in Ext JS 3.4, the converter do not detect that.
16 - In Ext JS 3.4 FieldSet extends Panel but not anymore in 4.1, so any code assuming tbar will be handled break silently. Converter framework ignore the issue.
17 - Store constructor in Ext JS 3.4 will call the reader so that field "mapping" is used. But in Ext JS 4.1 the constructor has an hardcoded if statement that will only call the proxy if it's a memory proxy, the end result is that "mapping" is not respected anymore. I think Sencha code was smelling bad before I even find the issue, because polymorphism is broken by specifying a concrete class like proxy.Memory. In any case, the code should be about reader not about proxy. Of course, when you receive data in a constructor the proxy is not needed anymore, it's all about reader, so the constructor should use the reader assigned to any kind of proxy, or allow to pass in the constructor the reader to use.
Extract from Store.js:
if (data) { if (proxy instanceof Ext.data.proxy.Memory) { proxy.data = data; me.read(); } else { me.add.apply(me, [data]); }
19- Column renderer event has a different scope in Ext JS 4.1, it's the grid instead of the column. Since the renderer has now for last parameter the view, it seems that changing the scope is a mistake because it's lot harder to find back the column than using the view parameter to get the grid.
20- Column render do not support anymore listener syntax like the following. So the end result is that it's harder to pass scope, also existing code has no warning, or error, the renderer is ignored. You are losing functionality when upgrading from Ext JS 3.4 to 4.1, I don't see why Sencha didn't reuse listener logic to support same syntax than before:
renderer: { fn: function(value){ var fullName = Ext.ux.renderer.UserRenderer(value.id); return Ext.ux.renderer.QtipRenderer(fullName); }, scope: this }
if (Ext.JSON) { Ext.util.JSON = {}; for(var key in Ext.JSON) { var value = Ext.JSON[key]; if(typeof(value) == "function") { Ext.util.JSON[key] = function() { deprecate({pkg:"Ext.util.JSON", member:key, msg:"Use Ext.JSON." + key + " instead. Automatically fixing."}); return value.apply(Ext.JSON, arguments); }; } } }
23 - store.query api doesn't exist anymore even if all the code that was used in the body of the method in Ext JS 3.x still exist in some private method. So you now have to write more code using store.queryBy. The conversion layer do not do any warning, aliasing or whatever.
24 - AbstractContainer.findById doesn't exist anymore, and the migration code is buggy so that when nothing is found instead of returning null like before, it returns an empty array. So our code checking for null is silently broken.
findById: function(id) { deprecate({pkg:'Ext.Container', member:'findById', alt:'query', msg:'Use the query method with the # id syntax, e.g. comp.query("#"+id).'}); return this.query('#'+id); }
26 - Ext.MessageBox.getDialog() doesn't exist anymore and it's not aliased
27 - findParentByType with class find nothing because the "real" class have changed of name. The conversion framework could do some aliasing.
28 - treepanel.dataUrl doesn't exist anymore. The conversion layer try to handle and show a warning but it's not quite right. It's now using get instead of post so that's failing on the server.

After we've spent tens of thousands of dollars developing and supporting this application, a port to 4.1 is an enormous task. And even if we did port to 4.1, 5.x will come out and leave our 4.1 version obsolete.
After seeing how we've been left in the dust by Sencha, how can I recommend we use it for any core applications? We'll continue to use Sencha products where appropriate, but we won't expect a lifetime beyond a couple or three years anymore.

So google comes out with new versions of Chrome and dblclick selects all the elements in the browser now. If Sencha were supporting 3.4, there'd be a fix applied and a 3.4.x or 3.5.x version released.
I notice today that grids now render with a horizontal scrollbar and the columns on the right edge don't render proper. There's ellipses (...) rendering past the right column into the reserved area for the vertical scrollbars (should they appear).
As far as I'm concerned, I created an ExtJS application. Sencha has turned it into a deprecated legacy application.

I don't think anyone expect 3.x will have new feature, it was upgraded to support IE 9. And Sencha announced the following at http://www.sencha.com/blog/ext-js-4-1-final-released/:
We want to take this moment to reiterate our commitment to our customers on various versions of Ext JS. We blogged about extending support of Ext JS 3 for 12 months beyond the next major release after Ext JS 4, and support subscribers will continue to receive patch updates for Ext JS 3.4.x, including support for IE 10.
30 Oct 2012 8:36 AM #278
Sencha should really do a case study of someone migrating a large, enterprise 3.x app to 4.x . I have spent almost 2 weeks upgrading our app and I feel like I am rewriting the whole thing. If we have to do this again for every release, it's going to be tough to convince our management to keep spending resources on this framework.
30 Oct 2012 8:39 AM #279
We have around 5 enterprise applications we actively develop. We only converted one completely to ExtJS 4. For the others, any new code that can be is written in 4 and displayed in an iframe. It's allowed us to take advantage of the SVG charts and new features without having to rewrite everything.

Roberta M. Donovan
Operated Donovan's Appliance
SHARON — Roberta M. Donovan, 86, of Sharon, passed away peacefully Dec. 4, 2012, at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was the widow of Raymond Donovan.
Roberta was born Feb. 27, 1926, in Hartford. She came to Sharon as a child with her parents, the late Robert and Lillie (Paine) Tischofer. Her father was employed by Dr. Chaffe, a founder of Sharon Hospital, as a gardener and caretaker and her mother was Sharon's assistant town clerk for many years. Roberta was a member of the first class to complete four years at Housatonic Valley Regional High School, graduating a member of the National Honor Society. She married the love of her life, Raymond Donovan, on Dec. 26, 1946, at Christ Church Episcopal in Sharon, and accompanied him to Chicago where he graduated from the Coyne Electrical School. Always a team, they returned to Sharon and opened Donovan's Appliance, being the first store in the area to sell color TVs. The couple began developing the Sharon Shopping Center in 1956 and later founded a chain of laundromats.
Roberta served on Sharon's Board of Education, and was a communicant of Christ Church Episcopal where she once taught Sunday school. In later years, Ray and Roberta realized their love of adventure by traveling around the world and arranging adventures to surprise destinations for their family. They were happily married for 66 years.
Partners in love, life, family and business, she and Raymond made family the center of their world. Roberta was a proud mother and grandmother who made every recital, graduation and family event a joyful priority. She touched the lives of many with her gentle sensitivity and kind insight. At the end of her life she suffered health challenges that she bore with grace, dignity and constant good humor. Roberta loved a good laugh and inspired in her family an adventurous spirit and love of life.
She is survived by her three daughters and their families: Deborah Ann Donovan and her husband, Kenneth Page, Rindy Higgins and her husband, Jon, and Dee Dee Donovan Mandino and her husband, Robert. She also leaves behind four grandchildren, Melissa Higgins Maleri and her husband, Gregg, J. Adam Higgins and his wife, Erika, and their children, and Matthew and Charles Mandino, along with step grandchildren Katie Page Litterer and husband, Paul, and their children, and Taylor Page and wife, Emily, and their children.
Calling hours will be held from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7, at Kenny Funeral Home. A service to celebrate Roberta's life will be held 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, at Christ Church Episcopal in Sharon.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Sharon Ambulance Squad, P.O. Box 357, Sharon, CT 06069.
The Kenny Funeral Home, 41 Main St., Sharon, has care of arrangements.

first off I can't seem to figure what the first parameter in the pushState function is for? What do I pass to it? I simply want to change the url when scrolling through my page. I'm querying the ID of the current element in the viewport and its ID should also be the link in the url. That works fine with the code below.
var currentHash,
if (history && history.pushState) {
$(window).scroll(function() {
hash = $('.layer:in-viewport').attr('id');
catHash = $("#"+hash).parent('section').attr('id');
var data = "nothing";
if ( catHash != undefined )
url = "/" + catHash + "/" + hash;
url = "/" + hash;
if ( currentHash != hash ) {
window.history.pushState(data, hash, url);
currentHash = hash;
Now I have two questions:
1.) Right now the url in the addressbar changes successfully when I scroll through my page. How can I query the url/hash in the addressbar when I initially load the page. So imagine I have now a link like
www.url.com/deep I want to find out what /deep is? Do I simply have to query the entire top.location and split it on each "/"? I mean those links are actually not existing, so how do I avoid 404 pages when calling a url that I manipulated with the pushState function?
2.) How can I find out the last change in the addressbar when clicking the back button? So I want to find
/deep when clicking on the browser back button so I can navigate back to that position on the page. I guess this is probably working with popstate but I couldn't find out how!
Thank you for your help!
window.history.pushState("test", hash, url);
$(window).bind('popstate', function(event){
This is alway null. Shouldn't this return "test"?

Maybe a sticky at the top of the forum that points us to the right places?
I want to make sure I have done the homework before I make a complete ass of myself here.
Google is a landmine for "designer". Sencha is a sprawling site.
Those docs and this forum are currently the sum total, yes?
The other day I stumbled into a folder of sample projects. What a difference that made. I wonder what else I might be missing.

I recently saw an answer to a JavaScript question where the answer used
Array#filter without mentioning that it's a new feature of JavaScript as of ECMAScript 5th edition (aka ES5), so I commented that it would be worth mentioning that.
I got a reply from the person posting the answer that they thought not saying anything about it is "not an issue at all." I got a stronger reply from a second commenter saying "When can we stop putting a disclaimer...on every single answer that uses ES5?" The second commenter later called it "noise" and "messy," whereas to me it's a disservice to the questioner to leave this trap for them to fall into.
What's your take?
There are probably at least four answers to this question:
- Always warn them when you use ES5 features.
- Warn them when you use ES5 features if they seem somewhat like newbies.
- Warn them when you use ES5 features that cannot be emulated by es5-shim.js and similar.
- Never warn them.

I am new to GWT/GXT and I need to create a ListView which shows list of Strings with Icons to the Left.
Using templates it seems do able, but not sure how. Need help.
Thanks in advance!
18 Apr 2012 4:31 AM #2
I would use a CompositeCell that containts the ImageResourceCell and a SafeHtmlCell. All comming from GWT.
8 Jun 2013 10:31 AM #3
Hi Sven,
I am trying to do the same thing. I got it working with a static icon, but what if I want to use the icon from the model? i.e I have a model that provides an ImageResource, how can I show the image next to the the model string.. Here is what I have so far.. but like i said this will only show a single image, how can I pull the image from the model.
resources = GWT.create(AppResources.class); navStore = new ListStore<NavigationPaneSectionModel>(props.key()); navStore.add(new NavigationPaneSectionModel("accounts", resources.note(), "Accounts")); navStore.add(new NavigationPaneSectionModel("tickets", resources.bino_search(), "Tickets")); navStore.add(new NavigationPaneSectionModel("leads", resources.email_add(), "Leads")); IconCellDecorator<String> iconCell = new IconCellDecorator<String>(resources.note(), new TextCell()); navList = new ListView<NavigationPaneSectionModel, String>(navStore, props.displayLabel()); navList.setCell(iconCell); this.setWidget(navList);

Suppose I take my phone on roaming from one country (say Australia) to another (say Belgium). How do these plans typically work? Will somebody else in Belgium have to pay international rates to call me, given that they would have to call me using the international prefix? Will I have to pay a roaming fee to receive the call?
Are calls to international numbers charged at international rates if the caller is in the same country?
The person calling you will be calling your Australian number, so they will be charged whatever they normally pay for a call to Australia. As you are roaming, you will be charged for receiving the call at whatever your roaming rate is.
In most cases, the call itself will actually route via Australia and back to wherever you are! It's possible that if your phone is roaming onto the same network as the person that's calling you is on that the call will route locally, but there's no guarantee.
The reverse case is very different. If you call a number in the country that you are in then you will normally pay a lower rate to make the call than it costs for you to receive a call, and the person you call will only pay their standard rate for an incoming call (which is free is many/most countries). Obviously the exact costs will depend upon your provider and what they charge for calls whilst roaming, but in most cases it'll be cheaper for you to call someone in-country than for them to call you.
Depending on how long you're going to be there, the best option is often to buy a pre-paid SIM in the country your visiting. You'll get a local country number that people can call you on, and you won't pay high roaming costs for calls that you make.
You should check what features your carrier offers directly. For example with AT&T if you roam with the basic feature, you pay nothing on a month-to-month basis, but are charged a certain rate per minute while abroad.
In my case I travel to France a lot so I would pay a flat $1.39 per minute while roaming in France (rounded up to whole minutes). This applies to both calls I place and calls I receive.
I have the option to enable / disable World Traveler anytime, which costs $5.99 per month (prorated), but lowers my rate per-minute to 99c.
You can check AT&T's plan here and pricing detail for a variety of countries here: http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/roaming/international-roaming.jsp
For the people calling you, as far as their costs go, it's like calling a local number (at the cell phone rate) because you're roaming on a local network.
Now if you roam to Belgium and call internationally (say, to Germany) then I expect you'll have to pay the per-minute rate, plus international charges.
I used to work in mobile phone billing, but that was a long time ago (15 years or so). At the times the rules were simple: Outgoing calls were billed at the rate of the roaming provider + roaming charges. Incoming calls were charged to the person calling you at his local rate to call you at your current location + roaming charges charged to you + international rates from your home country to your current location charged to you.

The famous "history is written by victors" saying argues that the victors overwhelmingly influence historical accounts.
Are there any examples of history written by the(or THE) losers?
The famous "history is written by victors" saying argues that the victors overwhelmingly influence historical accounts.
Are there any examples of history written by the(or THE) losers?
"History is written by victors" may itself be an example of history written by the losers! While the quote is commonly misattributed to Winston Churchill, it's origins are unknown and it might be inspired by Hermann Göring's quote:
On a (perhaps) more serious note, the aftermath of the Fall of Constantinople (1453) is a prime example of history written by the losers. A wave of Greek scholars emigrated to the west after the event that essentially marked the end of the Byzantine Empire, bringing with them extremely biased accounts of Ottoman brutality. The vilification of the Ottomans was the prevalent opinion in the Western world for centuries and served as propaganda material as late as 1832, when the Greek War of Independence ended. Even modern attempts at identifying the historical truth of the era, such as the 2011 "1821" documentary, are met with controversy in Greece.
A more recent example would be the American Civil War and the Lost Cause movement, a term borrowed from Edward Pollard's 1866 book The Lost Cause: A New Southern History of the War of the Confederates : Comprising a Full and Authentic Account of the Rise and Progress of the Late Southern Confederacy--the Campaigns, Battles, Incidents, and Adventures of the Most Gigantic Struggle of the World's History.
Lastly, a (perhaps controversial) example of history written by the losers is the account of the Vietnam War. Although whether the US lost the war is debatable they certainly didn't win it, still the overwhelming majority of historical documentation for the war comes from the US.
Further reading:
All the bad press given to Vikings (and the like) by angry monks suggests not always. Depends if the victors build a tradition of literacy and of documenting history or whether they just go build more longboats and get drunk.
An important example from ancient history is the Peloponnesian war. The most important account of it comes from Thucydides, "the father of history". Thucidydes was an Athenian, and Athens lost the war. I am not aware of any Spartan accounts of this was that survived.
The Arab-Israeli conflict. The Arabs lost to Israel in 4 wars (1948, 1967, 1973, 1982) but their version of history is the most accepted today (even the universal acceptance of the term "palestinian people"). Thus Israelis are portrayed a "colonizers", Zionism was portrayed as racism in the UN, and Israel as an apartheid state. This while Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people (recognized by the league of nations 1922), Jews are depicted as pigs all over the arab world, and Israel is the only country in the middle east in which Arab citizens have basic human freedoms.
Here are some other examples:
The US Civil War. Much of the history was driven by the South's need to justify itself especially after the first 20 years up to about 1960 or so.
The Fall of the Roman Republic Virtually all of the surviving histories were written by the conservative factions of Rome and not by the Caesarian side. Augustus didn't mind that much as it let the elite blow off steam while he ran things as suited him.
I am reading Andrew Weatcroft's's The Enemy at the Gate: Habsburg, Ottomans, and the Battle for Europe (see also here). It contains this relevant statement in relation to a (from some perspective) loosing party rewriting history:
That servant was Kara Mustafa, Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire under Sultan Mehmet IV, who survived the battle in the remote West but not its aftermath closer to home: he was strangulated on orders from the sultan, his co-loser in (and according to this source perhaps the co-initiator of) the failed campaign.
The entire Bible is pretty much written by the losers of history, written from the perspective of the Hebrew slaves, the prophets, and the exiles, rather than the Pharaoh, the king, and the conquerors, respectively. Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, the Greeks, and the Romans all have their empires, but the perspective is taken from a particular people who live under the control of these empires. In the Greek New Testament the early followers of Jesus take those identities on themselves as well. Unfortunately, the Christians became major oppressors a few centuries after that. Some of us who are sticking with the church are working to undo that false (but long) step.
Howard Zinn, in his A People's History of the United States, claimed to be endevoring to do something quite similar to that.
If you are interested in USA history, I highly reccomend it for two reasons. The first is that many others with that same interest will be familiar with it, so you can at least hold your own in conversations. The other is that it gives the best coverage of the (typically ignored) union movement in US history that I have seen. This was arguably the defining social issue of the late 19th and early 20th century. It is tough to understand the events of this period without it, yet most other US history books practically pretend it didn't happen.
I understand there is also from another author A People's History of the World, written in the same vein.
The Spanish Civil War is an example of loser-dominated historiography. That the Rebels won is beyond doubt, but the Loyalists wrote all the history... it's hard to think of a history of the war which is sympathetic to the winning side.
If you are looking for examples: The history of most major invasion on Europe is written by or significantly influenced by the Europeans (who happened to be on the looser end). Huns and Attila, Mongols, Vikings (ok, they are European, too), Ottoman Turks - even if there is a significant body of information (e,g in case of Ottoman Empire), the history is heavily dominated by the stories of the European side.
Similar is true for Chinese history: China was many time beaten and conquered by the northern neighbors, who even gave several dinasties to them. Yet I see more Chinese account on the stories than any manchuurian or jurchen.
The Battle of Thermopylae is completely written by losers. (All citations from the Wikipedia article)
First of all, the first myth about this battle is that there were only 300 defenders, but in fact there were at least 20 times more.
Secondly, the legend says that all but one of them died, but losses were about 4000.
Third, it was not a clear strategic success of the Greeks.
Fourth, it was not a high-losses win of Persians (although they lost much more soldiers than Greeks):
Japan lost World War II, and Japanese people write the textbooks for its history, including World War II, for Japanese schools.

SeekDroid: Appstore for Android for $0 + free shipping
Find your lost #Droid or #Android Phone #Free today - SeekDroid by GT Media, LLC http://t.co/xRpEgX6 via @amazon
27 Comments add a comment
Great find! I didn't see it advertised anywhere on Amazon's site.
I found it in the Amazon Appstore. I've wanted to get this for a few weeks now, but today the price is right!!
Let's hope I never use it!
I've been looking for an app like this for my sons phone. Thanks for the great tip!!!
Dang it, I bought this app a couple weeks ago.
free = the best kind of woot!
I'm getting an android phone in... fourteen hours. What perfect timing.
Super Awesome! Thanks for the post!
I am still confused how or why amazon gives away free apps. Anyone know why?
@theturbolemming: Looks like you may be SOL. The new free app replaces this one about 2:30am CST.
They give them away free because it builds awareness for their app store and gets people going there more often...in hopes to become the "go-to" place for apps.
For the dude getting his phone tomorrow, you can still "reserve" this by just "buying it" then send it to your phone once you set it up. Once you purchase it it will be in your digital download section of your account :).
@1jondough1: Not necessarily! He can still get an account with amazon appstore, and download it to a queue he can access later.
@snutch2thenutch: It's to 1)get attention for their App Store and 2)make a little $$ off the ads that the 'free' apps typically display while in use.. which often leads to 3)someone paying to buy the app outright to get rid of the ads, making even more $$ for Amazon.
So... If you get this through the Amazon Appstore and then you uninstall the Amazon Appstore does Seekdroid still work??
BTW... SOB!!!! I just bought this for two different phones 2 days ago! Good thing it was only a buck each.
Hurry and get SeekDroid while you still can, this app will show expired in just a few minutes. Tattled.
Today's FREE Android App is Peggle!
@bstormla: Free Premium Apps offered from Amazon have no ads.
Yeah, love android phone, love free apps. Thank you for posting.
Still got it for free at about 3:40am EST. Great deal, I had also been thinking about getting it.
Works like a charm. Located me to within about 8 feet of where I am with my phone.
A cool little I hope I'll never have to use.
99 cents now. booo. not that i couldnt get it by other means, but it wouldn't update automatically like the official (getting it from the store) one would.
@dh4645: Oh for Pete's sake, spend the buck! It will cost you more than that if you have to replace the bloody phone!
Jester saying amazon used same philosophy of giving away a little for free to get you hooked so you will pay for much more later as drug dealers. lol basic Marketing 101
You have to download the Amazon App Store first, if you haven't already. But this is supposed to be one of the best "find my droid" apps out there. I'm in!
I personally prefer Lookout Mobile Security, which is always free, and available through the Android marketplace at https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout&feature=search_result It provides the same functionality as SeekDroid and also scans all apps as you install them to look for known malware, plus once a week it rescans all of your apps in case anything got "updated".
I still got it free at 7:40 Mountain Time by following the link. And I just got Peggle by going to the app store in my phone.....ahhhh, turning out out to be a good summer solstice.
It was still free for me too...
@revschafer: Why not get both... I have both. Lookout pinpoints you to about 1000 feet of accuracy. If you can set off the alarm, that's super, but you can't lock the phone. Plus a couple times lookout has been unable to locate my device..... Just checked the newest lookout and it does have a lock and wipe feature, but they are for premium members only.
It's 945 eastern and it is still free. I have found most of the daily free apps stay free for a couple days extra.
still shows as free to me @ 9am central time
@revschafer: Lookout Mobile is the way to go!

To the editor:
We finally have a choice in Jefferson County. There will be two candidates on the ballot in November for state Senate District 30. Shane Thompson, a 42-year-old businessman from Belmont County, is an excellent choice. I have met and spoken with Shane several times, and I am very impressed. He has all of the attributes and experience to make a great state senator for our district. A committed family man, Shane believes in the sanctity of life. He and his wife are devoted parents of two sons. My impression is that Shane is running to have the opportunity to help make a better Ohio not only for his children but ours.
Shane has real world experience and is a military veteran, having served in the Ohio National Guard, then the Army Reserves. Currently he is vice president at RBRC - a rechargeable battery corporation which has been named a model of public and private collaboration for the safe take back and recycling of batteries. It is the largest such recycling operation in North America.
Previously, he worked at INCO Ltd., a world leader in the mining and metals industry, where he facilitated problem resolution and strategic planning in mines all over the world.
His core beliefs are those most of us can agree on. He is a fiscal conservative and believes there is need to reduce the size of government and to mandate a balanced budget, which is paramount to restoring confidence in our economy and a fairer tax system. His plan is to increase the tax base through job creation while lowering the taxes for all of us.
A strong proponent of small business growth, Thompson is the only candidate to be endorsed by the NFIB, the voice of small business. He believes the oil and gas industry boom in our area is a game-changer for our economy and should be developed to its full potential, and that our district seems to be at the heart of it all. Whether it's logistics for transport of products or the layering of jobs created for our local work force, we have it all here. Shane has viable solutions to ensure that our work force is trained to provide the labor for those jobs. This boom will be a shot in the arm for all businesses to include real estate agents, store owners, contractors, restaurants and car dealers.
I look for several things in a candidate before I decide how I may cast my vote in November; character, experience, intelligence, problem -solving and passion for the job and the mission. Shane possesses all of these attributes. I believe that Shane Thompson is the clearest choice for Ohio Senate in some time. I hope he has the opportunity to lead the 30th District to a more prosperous and brighter future.

Bancha - Seamlessly integrate with CakePHP
Bancha integrates ExtJS 4 and Sencha Touch with the light-weight PHP-MVC-Framework CakePHP 2.
Basically it:
- handles all communication between server and client
- shares all Schema and validation rules in CakePHP with ExtJS/Sencha Touch
- enables asynchronous and batched request to the server
- automatically implements CRUD for all remotable cake models
- is well-tested with PHPUnit and Jasmine
For ExtJS & Touch Developers
Bancha provides a simple interface to create models. These models get all fields, validations and associations and a fully configured proxy from the server.
Just use Bancha.onModelReady('User', callback); and Bancha does the rest.
We would appreciate any comments and ideas.
For more Information:
- follow us on twitter @banchaproject
- see the examples
- read our dokumentation
- read the JS API Docs
- get the code

Awesome idea.. we use cakephp and ExtJS too.. would love to see you guys make it mainstream with this.No one stands taller than the last man standing
15 Aug 2011 7:31 AM #4
No, there's not much you have to know as normal dev, On the Cake-side you just add the project as plugin, the ExtJS-Side you just add the library. Some samples will follow soon with the first release!

Bancha - Seamless integrate CakePHP with ExtJS and Sencha Touch
30 Aug 2011 12:25 PM #5
What next?
Clean installation, cakephp + bancha.
I took controller sample from http://samples.banchaproject.org/Use...roller.php.txt
and copy this file to app/Controller folder.
But I can't work out where to put this js file from exapmle http://samples.banchaproject.org/js/samples.js ?
As I read about how "it" (bancha) works It should be a part of code generated by bancha as View.
This code is then interpreted by browser and ExtJS is starting (is rendered) inside of web browser.
Am I correct?
Where to put this example js file ?
How to create proper View?
So in a few words ;-) need this example with more complex comment ;-)
4 Sep 2011 10:40 AM #6
The project is in development, not yet released! The samples aren't working yet!
We had a few issues with mapping in our dispatcher, we're planning to release somewhere in the next two weeks.
On the ExtJS side you just need to use the Bancha API to get models and model data.
Inside CakePHP you just have to create the (almost) standard cake crud methods, description on that will follow soon.
Best regards,

Yeah, last weeks were very busy. I moved to another country and we all had much to do for work/university. But now we are on it again.
We found the error and currently fixing it. We are also overviewing the whole technical documentation again.
I really plan to finish it soon.

Unable to view the GXT-Advanced chart when deployed on Tomcat Server
I have an application which i have deployed locally on tomcat server. I am using GXT version 2.2. I am using the advanced chart functionality provided by the framework. the problem is that the chart is not visible when i deploy on tomcat server but its visible when i use the GWT hosted mode functionality (by creating a dummy project). can someone please advice what could be the problem when i deploy on tomcat server. thanks.
29 Oct 2011 9:06 AM #2
Same with me too
I deployed the application on JBoss and was unable to view the chart .. can anyone help
31 Oct 2011 4:38 PM #3
Are there any logs or messages from tomcat? Does your browser (via Firebug or some inspector) offer any advice to why it doesn't work? A 404, for example, would indicate that your project is set up in such a way that tomcat cannot either find or serve the files being requested.
Note that www.sencha.com/examples/explorer.html is served from tomcat, and the charts work there. Likely this is some setup issue or missing file or folder when you are deploying.

Add "open-flash-chart.swf" in your WAR
Adding "open-flash-chart.swf" in war should solve your problem.
28 Oct 2012 1:51 AM #5
I have the same problem me also, and i think the files needed (open-flash-chart.swf and swfobject.js) is there and may configuration is fine. In Developping mode it work correctly but after compiling and deploying to server (Tomcat, Jboss,...) everything work correctly except that i 'am not able to view the chart , but i see in the place of the chart a white square with the same dimension of the chart.
Please Help, i tryed everything, i need this to be fixed quickly .
28 Oct 2012 2:42 AM #6
I found a solution for this problem,
Like i said im my previous message, if you think that everythink is configured correctly ( you have your files: open-flash-chart.swf and swfobject.js and your configuration is fine, try to fix your url in your code:
Wrong Code : String url="/ExtGWT/chart/open-flash-chart.swf";
Chart chart = new Chart(url);
(note that the url start with "/" and this work in developping mode but not in deploying of the application)
Wright code : String url="ExtGWT/chart/open-flash-chart.swf";
Chart chart = new Chart(url);
(This work both in developping mode and also when deploying your war file and note also that "ExtGWT is my ressource folder so you can create any folder you want and place your files in any location but becarful with URL).
I haope that this can help the others...

Two years ago when there was an opening on the Ford City Council, Kathleen Duffield stepped into the position. Now, she's officially running for the first time.
"I really enjoyed being on the council," Duffield said. "I learned a lot, and I'd like to learn more."
Duffield also said that there are some things that the council began working on in her first term that she would like to see through to their completion.
"We're working on getting a town tractor, and installing water meters," she said. And then of course there's the basic things like fees and budgets and whatnot."
Currently, Duffield doesn't work outside the home. She stays home and provides care for her husband who is a disabled veteran and grows organic foods and free-range chickens. She said she's not used to not having a full time job, so she's looking for ways to get involved and give back to her community. Being a part of the city council is one of those ways. She is also on the library board, the head of a Christian communication group and much more.
Growing up Duffield lived all over, including several states and even London for several years. But she and her husband decided to settle in Ford City because his family was close by.
"We've lived here five years now, and it's been great," Duffield said.

I remember that two years ago, passport holders of non-EU nationalities were required to present a chest X-ray along with accompanying report on arrival at Heathrow airport. (And if you didn't have one, then you had to wait in queue for hours while they got a chest X-ray done for you.) That was back when there was a bird flu scare going around. Does the directive still stand or has it been lifted? I tried looking up but couldn't find a definitive answer on the situation at present.
As a UK Gov directive it is still applicable.
The UK Border Agency Rules, Para 36 states
This internal guide for use by entry clearance staff (Last updated 10 March 2010) states
Whether it is followed in practice at LHR, I'm not sure.
I did travel to UK on a Work Permit between 2002 to 2006 and was not once asked to present the X-Ray even after clarifying my long term stay.
I flew into LHR (as a Canadian national, from Canada, on a Canadian passport) this spring and there was no mention of Xrays.
Flown into England probably 20 times in the last 4 years, and don't worry - certainly no x-rays any more. And I'm on a non-EU passport too :)
According to various local forums in Russia, this practice was in the past just to check some people for MTB. Even in the past, not all the people must do such test, and many of problems arose when the X-ray was broken.
In general, only people who going to enter the UK for more than half-year must go to the test. According to current situation, in all the terminals of Heathrow there is no X-Rays tests.
Unfortunately, can't find any official information for this.

In front of a crowd of over 500 fans attending the department's annual Great Gold Rush Auction, the Charlotte 49ers unveiled their 2013 inaugural football uniforms.
Four players emerged from behind a sillouette screen to model each of the combinations that can be used during the historic 2013 season.
Two of the jerseys, one green and one white, were then signed by head coach Brad Lambert and auctioned off during the gala event.
The four combinations included all white and all green variations as well as combinations of the green jersey with white pants and the white jersey with green pants. The 49ers will also wear a white helmet with green speckles.
The predominantly green and white uniforms include gold and black accents to match the four colors found in the Charlotte 49ers official logo.
The 49ers will compete this fall in their first year of NCAA football. The 49ers will compete as a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) independent in 2013 and 2014 before joining Conference USA in 2015.

I am working on a .NET web application that uses an SQL Server database with approximatly 20 to 30 tables. Most tables will be included in the .NET solution as class. I have written my own data access layer to read the objects from, and write them to the database. The whole thing is consist of just a few classes and very few lines of code en uses generics and reflection to find out what SQL and parameters to use. Now, such thing could be done by using NHibernate (or similair framework) and some co-workers claim that is foolish of me not to use it. My main argument for not using it is that i want maximum control over my application, know exactly what everything does and how everything works, even if that costs me more development time. I also dont like the fact i have to map my database in XML files (my own solution lets me map it in the entity class files).
So, what i would like to hear from you is, is it really stupid to not use NHibernate in this situation? Am i really being ignorant or is it not such a strange idea to use my own solution?

So, I was looking to refill my supply of bottle caps and ran across "Oxygen Absorbing" bottle caps. The implication is that their absorbency will reduce oxidation in the bottled beer. If you're already "capping on foam", etc. do these make any actual difference or is this just another gimmick?
Yes; I'd say they do.
Even when capping on foam, you're still going to end up with some O2 in the bottles. This usually isn't enough to turn a beer bad, but depending on how long you're planning to age the beer it can make a difference. I'd always use oxygen-absorbing caps on higher gravity beers like barleywines and imperial stouts that I plan to keep in the bottle for 6+ months.
Two things to keep in mind when using them:
At my LHBS, the oxygen absorbing caps don't cost much more than regular caps so I always buy them. YMMV, so take the style of beer you're bottling into consideration and decide from there if there's a huge price difference.

The Argentina international has little doubt the Blancos coach will stay put, and is keen to return to his usual best as soon as possibleGonzalo Higuain is confident Jose Mourinho will not leave Real Madrid any time soon amid rumours he could be on his way out of the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Portuguese was recently jeered by the Madrid faithful following his decision to drop club icon Iker Casillas from the starting XI, and the 49-year-old's future at the club appears to now be in doubt.
Nevertheless, Higuain has little doubt that his boss will not go anywhere as he still has an ongoing contract with Madrid.
"Mourinho is still Real Madrid's coach and he remains under contract here. I think that he will stay at Madrid," Higuain said at a press conference.
"Everybody's united at Madrid. We all support Mourinho and he backs the team, too."
The Argentine attacker then went on to dismiss reports that he could leave the club himself and stressed his determination to hit top form again after returning from injury.
"I ignore all the rumours about my future. I am completely focused on Real Madrid," he insisted.
"I hope to start scoring again as soon as possible, but the most important thing for me is to feel physically well again."
Higuain has netted seven goals in 11 Liga appearances this term.

Prometheus (Blu-ray 3D/ Blu-ray/ DVD/ Digital Copy) for $14.99
12 Comments add a comment
I can't stop watching this movie!!! So thought provoking.
@mozzerrocks: really? I haven't seen it yet, but people didn't seem to like it much.
I thought it was a good and worthwhile movie to see. Would watch it again.
You have to have a really open mind to enjoy this and not be too squimish (there is one scene that is as original as it is insane). Basically the movie asks the question what if those who made us only did so because they could, just as we humans engineer things, and there was no 'deeper meaning' to life. So if you are religious you are not going to like the film because it rides that subject line. It also has a second tier story line happening with an android who has become human enough to question his being and his creators. For sci-fi fans this is about as good as it gets.
@mozzerrocks: I thought this was a good movie, and Im religious. I always find it funny when people say that I wont like a movie because of my beliefs.
On a side note, this is a good deal. Ordered one.
I thought the idea of the movie was very good, but the execution was horrible. Way too many inconsistencies in the story to make it even remotely believable, I was really hopeful for this one too because I love the other alien movies. It ended up being a huge disappointment for me.
@kylemittskus: Oh, many people like it, besides me.
Just an FYI...Amazon has many 3d blu ray movies for 14.99. Including Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, The Lorax, and both Journey to the Center of the Earth and Journey 2, just to name a few.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so don't think I'm just trolling. You need to Red Box this movie before you buy it, because you'll either love it or hate it. The visuals were impressive, the theater sound was thunderous and brilliant. The characters were static and their actions were as predictable as any horror slasher film. If you're looking for alternate creation philosophy as entertainment, The Matrix is still unrivaled with the exception of a few good animation films and anime series. The characters in this film are static and shallow. Their motives are apparent and they act exactly as you would expect them to. The theory that the "higher" intelligent beings created mankind is never adequately substantiated. The only part that surprises me is the stupid "cat" at the end, but perhaps that is only speculation. You'll have to wait for the sequel. I don't see what anyone honestly likes about this movie, but I am willing to watch it again just in case I missed something.
This is pretty much a copy of what Best Buy's deal, except its Amazon, which isn't bad if you don't want to see all the people already lined up at your local store.
Good movie, but I think I'll wait for the inevitable director's cut...
@mrbarister: I think your take on the acting is with good reason, particularly in the case of Charlize Therons character, who unfortunately added nothing to the plot, but played a large roll. The movie pretty much rocks, though.

The "Your tweets retweeted" page on Twitter shows which of your tweets have been retweeted, but usually it says something like "retweeted by @madeuptwitteraccount and others" is there any way to find out (a) how many people have retweeted a tweet and (b) what their twitter IDs are?
The list of users that have retweeted your tweet is listed below the text you mention.
If you hover over each of the avatars it displays the users name
Twitter will always display the " and others" regardless of the number of retweets a tweet has received.
To demonstrate this, you can check the number of retweets made by using the API.
Recently Twitter has gone a lot of changes and with the new Twitter website this is not possible. However, I use Timeline Tweets which has a feature to view all your tweets retweeted.
I hope this helps.
The answers so far will only give you at most 100 retweets. There is an API method that returns up to 100 entries of a cursored collection (so you can page through it to get more), though.
There's more information on the Twitter Developers site at GET statuses/retweeters/ids, though you'll also want to read their page about Using cursors to navigate collections.
Edited to add: That said, the first thread on the Developers site that surfaced in a quick google has @episod, a Twitter employee saying:
If you are willing to do some coding, here is how it would work in java...
This code will print out every tweet you've made recently, along with the IDs of the people who retweeted it. A couple of quick things to note - mostly that this line:
Won't work for you - that's me getting my own API key and so on, you'll have to write your own...

Hi everybody I need help with this problem: let $u:R^n \rightarrow R$ be a function so that $\nabla^2u=0$ prove that every critical point of the function is a saddle point.
What if all the eigenvalues are zero, you ask? Well, the Hessian is symmetric and hence diagonalizable; if all the eigenvalues are zero, then the Hessian is similar to the zero matrix! (What does this say about the Hessian?)
Indeed, as pointed out in a comment below, this argument is not sufficient for the case when the Hessian matrix is zero at a point, for this only tells us that the function $u$ is locally constant, and nothing about the behavior in various directions. The rigorous proof of this saddle-point property is essentially the maximum/minimum principle for harmonic functions. The "strong" version goes like this:
If $u$ is harmonic on an open, bounded, connected set $\Omega\subset\Bbb{R}^n$, and there exists $x_0\in\Omega$ such that $u(x_0)=\sup\{u(x):x\in\bar{\Omega}\},$ then $u(x)$ is constant on $\Omega$. (Similarly if $u(x_0)=\inf\{u(x):x\in\bar{\Omega}\}$, then $u$ is constant on $\Omega$).
So, suppose $\nabla^2u=0$ on $\Bbb{R}^n$ and $x$ is a critical point of $u$. Then, consider $B(x,M)$ for any arbitrary $M>0$. For each $M$ this is a bounded, open, connected set on which $\nabla^2u=0$. Thus if $x$ were a minimum, $u$ would be constant throughout $B(x,M)$. Since $M$ is arbitrary, it must be that $u$ is constant throughout $\Bbb{R}^n$. Similarly if $x$ were a maximum, $u$ must be constant throughout $\Bbb{R}^n$.
Thus, if $u$ is non constant and $x$ is a critical point, it can be neither a maximum nor minimum, and is hence by definition a saddle point.
So, it seems that we need to assume that $u$ is non constant, since constant functions are harmonic and have no saddle points (every point is a local max and local min). Otherwise the proof goes.

The RS3-A™ is the latest Ultra High Performance all-season tire within the Cooper performance family. This all-season performance tire provides the driver with a dynamic handling and inspires confidence and control.
Advanced Technology Mold Profile. Provides for a square tread footprint which means more tread-to-road contact. Asymmetric Design. Allows for tread pattern tuning. This design allows for cross-rotation which reduces heal-toe wear, promotes even wear, less noise and increased overall read life. More rubber on the outboard tread pattern equals exceptional dry handling and traction. The large outside shoulder and intermediate tread elements increase handling, stability control and ultimate cornering ability. The offset shoulder-to-intermediate grooves and large intermediate tread elements are joined together for stable cornering and noise reduction. Laterally oriented shoulder grooves, uniform element geometry and chamfered edges resist irregular or rapid tread wear. The continuous, solid rib on the outside of the center row of tread elements increases steering response. The inboard tread pattern is optimized for wet and light snow conditions. Two, wide circumferential grooves channel water away from the tire for hydroplane resistance. Even wear is achieved by the laterally oriented shoulder grooves and uniform elements. Winter traction performance is aided by the technical sweeping elliptical groove. 3-D Micro-Gauge Siping. Increases tread element stability, improves handling and tire control while reducing the possibility of stone retention. 3-D dimple sipes with interlocking geometry provide more sipe depth without sacrificing tread element stability. The 3-D dimple sipes are used in the center, intermediate and shoulder elements and provide increased length and more road biting edges as the pattern wears for maximum wet and light snow traction. Silica Formulated Tread Compound. Designed for exceptional all-season driving performance.
Mediocre, at best. I wish I would've gotten Continental Extreme Contact

Noisy tire after half-life if it isn't rotated on time. Overall good tire.

I just put these new tires on my Avant on the 1st of April, 2016. I was hesitant because we are not done with the snow yet and have 2-3 feet of fresh snow now. But, I put them on anyways. I like the ride and they feel great and are soft going over the bumps and don't make too much noise doing so. The summer tires they replaced were Falken. Those tires were junk for ride feeling but hugged the summer pavement.
I looked at all the tires online before I bought these tires. I have bought Cooper tires in the past and will continue to buy their tires. These are exactly what I wanted for summer and were the best out of all the other tire brands. I'm impressed with how they handle but will not run them in the Upper Peninsula's Big Snow Country winter again. I run Blizzak WS50's (7/32 tread depth now) in the winter months. Right away I could tell these were not my Blizzaks as I slid down the S-curves going to town (15-20 MPH) in 3-6" of dry snow. Luckily I was able to stop enough to get control back before I went over the edge. I should of waited to put these on, maybe another month would of done it but I have a couple trips coming up and didn't want to wear down my Blizzaks on the dry pavement. They are the best 3 season tire out there, but take them off for winter above the 45th Parallel. Can't beat the $60 rebate either!

Last tire rotation I had done the tech said it was the firs time in over ten years he had ever seen all four tires within 1/64" of each other measured in 3 places each tire as far as tread wear is concerned.
They are holding up unbelievably well considering how I drive. It took a little getting used to when switching from 40 profile summer tires as the feel was not quite as sensitive for lack of a better term. But I can take the banked off ramp near my house at 65mph with the cruise control on just like the summer tires. The car just starts a very controlled even drift at the exact same point the 40 profile summer tires did. I love them. Will buy again.

I have run 56500 miles on my Cooper tires. It's all highway miles. They have become very noisy and the tread is just about down to the indicators.
