Empty QuickTips
I've found that in the GXT 2.2.x series, I can get an empty QuickTip to show where I would not expect one by doing the following:
- Create a new QuickTip(somegrid) and setShowDelay(1000) - any delay works as long as you're fast enough.
- Use a custom renderer to assign a qtip="foobar" attribute to some rows but not others.
- Move the mouse over a row that has the qtip attribute.
- Quickly, before the showDelay runs out, move the mouse over a row that does NOT have the qtip attribute.
- A QuickTip pops up anyway, but with no text in it (presumably because it's reading the qtip of the element under the cursor and there isn't one).
I think the QuickTip should double check if the element under the mouse actually has a qtip attribute when the delayed show timer fires and suppress the showing if it does not. I'm willing to apply a custom patch to fix this issue, but because the interplay of the QuickTip, ToolTip, Tip class hierarchy is a bit involved I'm not sure where to apply it. Any suggestions?

Here's a quick fix that's working for me. Override or make a local copy of the QuickTip class and add the following method:
@Override public void show() { if (targetElem != null) super.show(); }
19 Apr 2011 7:08 PM #4
nice idia but I hope GXT developer can make targetElem protected.
26 Oct 2011 12:16 PM #5
I was able to work around this by overriding QuickTip.onTargetOver() and QuickTip.show(), but it would be helpful if this could get fixed in GXT.
4 Nov 2011 3:47 PM #6
I'm told this is fixed in 2.2.5, but I haven't tested it for myself.
30 Jan 2012 5:26 PM #7
Looks fixed in the source for 2.2.5 - Sven can you confirm and close this issue if it is fixed?

For Mary C. Parler Lincoln, Arkansas
Transcribed by Frances Majors August 19, 1958
Reel 281— Item 1
Barbara Alien (Child No. 84.)
In Scarlet Town where I was born There was a maiden dwelling,
Made every youth cry well away,
And her name was Barbara Allen.
All in the merry month of May,
When green buds they were swelling,
Sweet William come from the western states And courted Barbara Allen.
It was all in the month of June,
When everything was blooming,
Sweet William on his death bed lay For the love of Barbara Allen.
He sent his servants to the town Where Barbara was a-dwelling.
Said, My master is sick and sent for you If your name is Barbara Allen.
And death is painted on his face And o'er his heart is stealing;
Then hasten away to comfort him,
Oh, lovely Barbara Allen.
So slowly, slowly she got up,
And slowly she came nigh him;
And all she said when she got there,
Young man, I think you're dying.
Oh, yes, sick and very sick,
And death is o'er me dwelling;
No better, no better I'll ever be If I can't have Barbara Allen.
Oh, yes, you're sick and very sick,
And death is o'er you dwelling;
No better, no better you'll ever be,
For you can't have Barbara Allen.
Oh, don't you remember in yonder town When you were at a tavern,
You drank a toast to the ladies all around
And slighted Barbara Allen?Barbara Allen (Cont'd)
Reel 281, Item 1 (Cont'd)
Yes, I remember in yonder town When I was at a tavern;
I gave my wine to the ladies all around And my heart to Barbara Allen.
As she was on her highway home The birds they kept a-singing;
And every word they seemed to say Hard-hearted Barbara Allen
As she was walking o'er the fields She heard the death bells knelling;
And every toll they seemed to say Hard-hearted Barbara Allen.
She looked to the east, she looked to the west She spied his corpse a-coming;
Lay down, lay down that corpse of clay,
That I might look upon him.
The more she looked, the more she mourned,
Till she fell to the ground a-crying;
Saying, Take me up and carry me home,
For now I think I'm dying.
Oh, Mother, oh, Mother, go make my bed;
Go make it long and narrow.
Sweet William died for pure, pure love,
And I will die of sorrow.
Oh, Father, oh, Father, go dig my grave;
Go dig it long and narrow.
Sweet William died for me today;
I'll die for him tomorrow.
She was buried in the old church yard,
And he was buried nigh her;
On William's grave there grew a red rose;
On William's grew a green briar.
They grew to the top of the old church tower; They couldn't grow no higher.
They locked and tied in a true love knot,
The red rose and the briar.

Some people [weasel words] seem to have gotten the impression Noisebridge is a 24-hour hangout and drop-in center, whether or not sleep is permitted. With refrigerators where you can leave your food.
The following people have used Noisebridge as a crashpad and the general sentiment seems to be that they are not making the space more Excellent.
- Alabama
- Anthony
- Ashley a/k/a Blondie a/k/a Soldier Boy
- Delta
- Purple
- Tall guy with a goatee and black and white bandana - Jedi?
- Guy with a cane who isn't Zack
- Ken H.
- Cynthia
- That guy who all he ever does is play guitar
If you know the names of the nameless please revise the wiki accordingly.
If you ask someone to leave the space, please remember to first and foremost remain Excellent - respectful and calm but firm. If the decision to leave is contested, let them know they can come to a Tuesday night meeting at 8 pm to defend their actions. If they opt to do so, please also come to defend yours as well.
Skinnyish, slightly stooped, 50 years old, curly brown hair to the shoulders, wears a golf-style cap and black jacket with Noisebridge sticker. I have often heard him engage in loud arguments and also inappropriate discussions. I overheard him giving a tour of the space today where he explained that Noisebridge "used to be" about communications and technology, but now it's about Occupy and making food in the kitchen. He lives close by and has a key. James refused to attend a Tuesday meeting to explain himself.

17 Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped (Part 10)
#8. In Real Life, the Matrix Is Orange
Tell us you can look at this infinite tunnel of pulsing lights and computers without hearing it -- that deep, ominous hum of a supervillain hideout's nerve center. The truth isn't far off -- this is a photo of a data center in France called Dedibox.
Or at least we think it is, based on what Google Translate is able to tell us. All we know is that if a room like this shows up in a movie or a video game, somebody's going to have to drop down from an air duct and hack that shit before it can launch the missiles.
#7. Remember Those Colored-Sand Art Projects You Made at Summer Camp?
Slightly Warped
Finally, proof of Spontaneous Hippie Combustion.
This quite frankly tacky landscape is the Danxia Landform, located in southeast China and widely known as the world's largest naturally formed acid flashback.
That eruption of color is what you get when you have layers of mineral-rich red sandstone and other layers of sediment that were formed over millions of years, then tossed around by shifting tectonic plates and finally eroded by wind and water. So stop and appreciate it, that shit took a lot of work.
#6. The Engine Room of the Prometheus
Argonne National Laboratory
Not one single egg. What a waste.
Can you count the '80s sci-fi cliches in this picture? You've got: underwater, strange glow, lots of piping, complex machinery. The only thing missing is a badly CG'd alien that wants to make out with Ed Harris. Far from a movie set, though, this is a real picture of a nuclear reactor emitting Cherenkov radiation. So we guess you can add "foreign-sounding science name" to the list of cliches.
#5. "Your Precious Flamethrowers Will Not Work Down Here, Puny Human."
We know what you're saying: "I've seen this fake before! The diver is actually way in the background, making the jellyfish look terrifyingly huge!" Not so -- that's a Nomura's jellyfish, and that's how big they get. Here's a smaller one being slapped by a diver:
Hokkaido Electric Power Company
Well, he's either slapping it or patting its ass.
You have to abuse them when they're young, because they can grow up to be almost seven feet in diameter and weigh 440 freaking pounds. A boat once sank trying to catch nets full of these things. They're not rare, and in fact their population is exploding, which makes sense, since we're pretty sure they're the next dominant form of life on earth.
#4. The Invasion Begins
Slamet Riyadi / Associated Press
Yet another army of aliens that can't handle water.
You know that scene from Harry Potter where they decorate the cafeteria with floating candles? Well, here's the real thing. This is a real photo of lanterns released during a Buddhist ceremony that occurred during the full moon a couple months ago. They work like tiny little hot-air balloons, and if you really want to have fun next Halloween, figure out how to combine them with the classic "flaming bag of dog poo" prank.
#3. "What? It's Just a Leaf ..."
Imagine that coming at you through a salad.
Don't scroll past this one. Look closely. See the legs?
We've all seen natural camouflage before, but this caterpillar takes it above and beyond. You can barely see a Euthalia aconthea even when you know it's there. It's even weirder when you realize that this insect with no brain to speak of somehow knows how to position its body perfectly in line with the patterns on the leaf. We don't trust it.
School of Ecology and Conservation
Anything as Christmasy as this must be evil.
#2. Boom. You're Now Hypnotized.
If you're familiar with past articles, you know we love these perspective illusion drawings. As usual, the effect only works if you're standing in one specific spot:
This one was created by Felice Varini, and it seems like it'd be impossible to walk down this hall without expecting to come out in some other time period.
#1. And Finally ...
The 13-year-old in you will be happy to learn that the corner of Inyo and Butte is a real place in Bakersfield, California, and we'll let you make your own jokes about what you'd expect to find located there (aside from the obvious answer, which would be "a prison").
Now here are 20 MORE images you won't believe aren't Photoshopped and 7 Images Too Badass To Be Real (That Totally Are).
Or if you're pressed for time and just looking for a quick fix, then check out 6 Famous Quotes (Revised for Accuracy).
Be sure to stop by LinkSTORM to see how much of the Internet is actually faking it.
And don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter to get sexy, sexy jokes sent straight to your news feed.
Do you have an idea in mind that would make a great article? Then sign up for our writers workshop! Do you possess expert skills in image creation and manipulation? Mediocre? Even rudimentary? Are you frightened by MS Paint and simply have a funny idea? You can create an infographic and you could be on the front page of Cracked.com tomorrow!

A Yoga Mat That Offers Tips? Yes, Please
Smart technology tells you when you're doing the poses right -- and wrong
RELATED" Great Workout Tips For Women
The Beacon yoga mat uses LED lights and pressure sensors to let you know when you're doing your yoga moves the right and wrong way. The mat's lights turn purple to show you the correct positions. They'll turn red in areas where you're applying too much pressure, and green when you're accurately balanced. Created by an MIT graduate for her mechanical engineering class, the Beacon's installed with smart tech that connects the mat to to laptop or smartphone via Bluetooth or USB cable. That way ever single move you make can be tracked and monitored (if you're into that sort of thing).
Right now Beacon's in the funding and production stages on invention site Quirky. If it makes it to the manufacturing stages, it could be a real game-changer. [Gadgetsin]

Add TAP/CLICK event to IMAGE component
I find that I have needed to add a Custom Listener Event abstractcomponent.getEl().on('click', function() { ...}
to the onRender event of IMAGE component several time. IMAGE does not have a CLICK or TAP event. Can this be added to architect since I cannot use MVC without a valid event to select.
4 Oct 2012 10:16 AM #2
Relay the event.
Ie subscribe to the element-level event and fire another, component-level event. You can then subscribe to that event via a controller.Aaron Conran
4 Oct 2012 10:39 AM #3
Not 100% sure what you are saying.
Ie subscribe to the element-level event and fire another, component-level event
It sounds like you want my custom listener to just fire an event that is defined for the Image Component. I still would have to code a listener for the click event. Yes I could code up using MVC for the OnRender event, but this seems a bit of a hack. What I have works, but just wanted to see if Click/Tap could be added, if not then so be it.
If I am incorrect, Can you give me an example?.
Would it not be easier going forward to just add TAP or CLICK to the events that can be selected so that the Image component works the same as other clickable components or would this require a change to the EXTJS framework and not really an Architect issue?
20 Nov 2012 1:54 PM #4
I have exactly the same "problem". I need to use "onclick" event on img component but i still don't find answers on web.
Do you find any info on web?

One of the great things about following beach volleyball, other than the sport itself, of course, is that you find yourself visiting parts of the world you might otherwise have missed. This year marks the 23rd edition of the FIVB Beach Volleyball Swatch World Tour, which will make stops in more than a dozen countries across three continents. The tour opened April 18 in the Brazilian capital of Brasilia—a city often overlooked in favor of its more famous coastal counterpart, Rio de Janeiro. Fourteen men's and 16 women's events will take place as the tour moves from country to country, with a total prize purse of $7.64 million up for grabs. The tour features 10 opens, six grand slams and an Olympic Games test event for women. For men, the tour ends in the regal city of The Hague (the penultimate women's event), the third largest city in The Netherlands, Aug. 23–28.
Known as Den Haag in Dutch, The Hague is best known for its exquisite architecture and for housing the country's government as well as hundreds of international organizations, including the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court. These might not sound like tourist-friendly attractions, but for architecture buffs and art enthusiasts, The Hague is paradise.
Start at the Binnenhof, seat of the Dutch Parliament and a wonderful spot to wander. The grassy grounds are studded with majestic buildings, some of which date back to the 13th century. For those with a deeper interest in foreign politics, guided tours inside the Binnenhof take place daily, though if Parliament is in session you'll have to forsake the tour and take the chance to sit in on the proceedings instead. The Peace Palace offers a similar experience. Sitting in exquisite grounds that are free to wander, this is the home of the International Court of Justice and the Permanent Court of Arbitration. Guided tours (€5) happen on weekdays but not when court is in session (though you might be able to score a seat in the gallery if you want to observe). One of The Hague's architectural gems, the Palace was built in the early 20th century, though its neo-renaissance façade appears far older. Tours should be booked in advance (vredespaleis.nl).
Nearby, the Mauritshuis Gallery houses Flemish and Dutch paintings in a 17th century mansion. The collection is impressive and even art avoiders might like a quick glimpse of Girl with a Pearl Earring, the Johannes Vermeer portrait that inspired a novel and an Oscar-nominated movie. While you're in an arty mood, check out the incredible Panorama Mesdag. Painted in the late 19th century, the 360-degree painting measures 120 meters in length and depicts the nearby Scheveningen seaside. As you emerge from the staircase into the purpose-built circular gallery, the striking painting makes you feel you're actually at the beach, a sensation aided by actual sand at the base of the canvas. Luckily, the real thing is not far away—a charming tram ride gets you to the beach portrayed in the panorama in less than 15 minutes.
This almost unpronounceable stretch of sand is one of the country's favorite beach resorts and while it might be a little built up, it's a great place to sunbathe, try out some water sports, enjoy a little European nude bathing (don't worry—the nudists stick to one section of the beach) or enjoy the fun of the pier. There are some excellent seafood restaurants dotted around and a small museum if you want to learn about Scheveningen in its 19th-century heyday.
In the heart of The Hague near the Binnenhof, Le Bistroquet (Lange Voorhout 98, tel. +31-70-3601170) serves exquisite seafood, venison dishes and a very reasonably priced set three-course menu. In fine weather you can take lunch or dinner on the terrace and indulge in a little politician-spotting while you enjoy the French cuisine. The Hague also excels at Indonesian cuisine, with the bulk of the Indonesian restaurants (and stores) lying between the Binnenhof and the Peace Palace. Garoeda (Kneuterdijk 18a, tel. +31-70-3465319) is a long-established favorite, serving well-priced Indonesian classics. Over on the beachfront, seafood restaurants rule the roost and it can be tough to choose a spot to sample some fresh fish from the multitudes available. Try De Waterreus Beach restaurant (Strandweg 3A, Scheveningen, tel. +31-070-3586909), an affordable option with an unrivalled location just inches from the sand.
Whether you're just passing through this part of Europe or lingering longer, sampling the amazing array of beers should be near the top of your "must-do" list. De Paas (Dunne Bierkade 16a, tel. +31-70-3600019) is one of The Hague's premier beer cafés, serving an incredible 170 beers (161 in bottles, nine on tap). Take a seat inside the cozy pub or on the barge anchored in the canal outside and take some time to study the menu. Beers hail from almost a dozen nations (though most are from Belgium) and range from an alcohol-free pilsner to a near-lethal 13% golden ale. There's something for every budget, with prices stretching from €3 to €11 and bar snacks are available to soak up some of the booze. De Passage (off Spuistraat) is a gorgeous covered shopping street—the only covered arcade remaining from the 19th century. Most of the stores are high-end, specialty vendors selling gifts, tobacco, jewelry and cookware, but it's a delightful place to wander, even if you don't buy.
Cities frequented by business travelers with access to an expense account tend to lack affordable accommodation options, but there are a few sleeping spots for travelers on a budget. The Netherlands abounds in well-equipped campsites and if you're traveling with a tent you won't find a shortage of attractive places to pitch. Camping Hoek van Holland is a little south of the centre, but its awesome location five minutes from the beach and its excellent amenities make up for the hike from town. Rates start at €20 for a four-person tent. (Wierstraat 100, Hoek van Holland, tel. +31-174-382550). If you're looking for something a little fancier than canvas, but that doesn't take its toll on the wallet, Hostel Den Haag (Scheepmakersstraat 27, tel. +31-70-3157888) is one of the city's best hostels. Housed in a beautifully restored building, it's right in the heart of The Hague. Dorms are relatively small, with eight beds per room, or there are private rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Free Wi-Fi, an on-site pub and a breakfast thrown in help to sweeten the deal. (Dorms €32 per person, double room €87). If you prefer to stay by the sea, the Boulevard Hotel (Seinpostduin 1, Scheveningen, tel. +31-70-3540067) is a well-priced option. Sitting right on the Scheveningen seafront, the simple rooms have free internet, TV and some even come with a whirlpool bath. Double rooms start at €85.

As an Ashe in League of Legends, is it useful to attack a single enemy champion with your Volley or is it better to just auto attack (ulti, mana spent aside)?
Generally: Yes.
Reasons why:
In my opinion the Pros outweight the Cons by far. And it has more range than your auto attack so it can be your only option to keep pressure on the enemy at long range. But you should keep enough mana to use your ultimate.
It is great for burst damage (especially at low levels): auto attack -> Volley -> auto attack, deals tons of damage.
Auto attack gets stronger than Volley on a single target as soon as you have good crit%/attack speed/crit damage% because Volley does not profit from this stats.
As with many spells from champions in League of Legends, it really depends.
Things that you should bear in mind whenever considering harassing the opposing carry with your volley (and really any spell from a champion while laning).
There are many other reasons why choosing volley or to auto-attack to harass is not a matter of yes/no, hopefully these tips will help you in making a correct decision and improve your Ashe play.

Being an R user, I'm now trying to learn the SPSS syntax.
I sed to add the command
rm(list=ls()) at the being of R script to ensure that R is empty before I go on my work.
Is there a similar command for SPSS? Thanks.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Close to the functional equivalent in SPSS would be
This simply closes all open dataframes except for the active dataframe (and strips it of its name). If you open another dataset the previous dataframe will close automatically.
Since the way SPSS uses memory is fundamentally different from how R uses it, there really isn't a close equivalent between rm and SPSS memory management mechanisms. SPSS does not keep datasets in memory in most cases - which is why it can process files of unlimited size. When you close an SPSS dataset, all its associated metadata - which is in memory, is removed. DATASET CLOSE ALL closes all open datasets, but there can still be an unnamed dataset remaining. To really remove everything, you would write dataset close all. new file.
because a dataset cannot remain open if another one is opened unless it has a dataset name.
You might also be interested to know that you can run R code from within SPSS via BEGIN PROGRAM R. END PROGRAM.
SPSS provides apis for reading the active SPSS data, creating SPSS pivot tables, creating new SPSS datasets etc. You can even use the SPSS Custom Dialog Builder to create a dialog box interface for your R program. In addition, there is a mechanism for building SPSS extension commands that are actually implemented in R or Python. All this apparatus is free once you have the basic SPSS Statistics. So it is easy to use SPSS to provide a nice user interface and nice output for an R program.
You can download the R Essentials and a good number of R extensions for SPSS from the SPSS Community website at www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral. All free, but registration is required.
p.s. rm(ls()) is useful in some situations - it is often used with R code within SPSS, because the state of the R workspace is retained between R programs within the same SPSS session.

I am writing some UI stuff for my games in C++. Basically its a very common problem, but I dont know the best answer yet. Suppose inside my UI Library I have a view class which renders 2D/3D scene. This view can contain many subviews. I needs a container which allows me to iterate over these views fast and also insert/delete subviews. I am not sure which container is best for the job - list, vector or something else?
Chances are you'll be iterating over your collection a lot more than inserting/deleting screens, so
Then again if you ask me I'll say never use
I'll point to my answer in the when should vector/list be used question to go into more detail.
Also, if you end up using
Vector is a great choice- very fast iteration. You'd need an extremely high amount of Scenes to make inserting one, even at the beginning, to be slow for a vector. This is especially true if you're storing pointers rather than values.

Where is a good place to buy a book case?
Just curious where does everyone get their bookcases? Which ones do you love? Which do you hate? Ie do you like the Saunders ones that Walmart has? How about one you got from x y or z etc
18 Answers answer
Ikea, if you have one nearby.
I have 8 Billy bookcases in my office, and they have stood the test of time without any sagging shelves.
Sadly I don't they were my first idea. Closest one is probably Atlanta and I live in memphis tn near enough so long long drive.
@dravack: isn't charlotte closer for Ikea? maybe not. I will second the vote for ikea. You can get more expensive ones with nicer finishes and detail but I also opted for the Billy bookshelves and so far they've been great.
I'd stay away from the ones at walmart, they'll sag and start coming apart in a year. Target has some that are sturdy with a nice finish, I'd probably have bought mine there except they didn't have white. Big Lots or similar stores will sometimes have real wood shelves from well known manufacturers as well.
@nmchapma: either way both stores are a bit far to drive for a bookshelf. Was going to try biglots when they open in an hour or so. Wonder if I scrounge around if I can find someone with a 20% off coupon to spare. Either way thanks for the advice. Going to check staples office max and depot. Some people on SD I've seen post deals for some there so must be some demand.
Craigslist, thrift shops & yard sales. Bookcases are usually the first things to get sold off when people move, esp. since the better quality ones are heavier solid wood instead of particle board.
Best bookcases I have had were from Costco. Solid oak, plywood shelves. Took two of us to bring in a van. Lasted forever. Sold when we moved to smaller home.
@olperfesser: I check costco next time I'm up there.
Craig's list was a dud. I'll post some examples when I'm not on phone.
SAMs club was a dud.
Checking out Ashley home store in 7 mins
@dravack: Don't get those Saunder things. Just don't. Save your time and frustration. Depending on the weight of the books, you might be very happy with the ones that Target occasionally carries. They're the kind with the shelves that fold up, and I've used them for years. Here's an example:
Those Saunders things used to be okay, when they were first trying to be knock offs of the cam systems that Ikea uses, but a few years ago they became soul-suckingly difficult, and I actually took one back in multiple pieces (after trying for 3 days to assemble it) and made the store where I bought it give me a refund, and an apology. I considered eating the cost of it so I could destroy it with a sledge hammer, but decided it was better to return it. They no longer carry them, either.
You know, you can order from Ikea and they'll deliver...
@shrdlu: I'll double check ikea but most of the stuff I've seen on there site isn't available for shipping. Ashley was a bust I didn't like their car salesmen like attitude. No prices on the site and guy said oh their $400 how many do you want. Told him I wasn't sure I'll go home and measure and come back. That I was just getting a feel for the market. He said oh you should order today their on sale 15% off. I said no I'd rather wait I mean I can always come back tomorrow. He proceeded to tell me the sale is today only and if I went ahead and ordered now he would give me 20% off.
Swear I was at a car lot. Lol
I was out at the local flea-market/antiques warehouse/furniture nonsense the other day and there were a ton of bookshelves that people had built from recycled doors (from the oldie olden days when stuff was made from solid wood) that were relatively cheap and ridiculously sturdy. They were definitely non-standard in appearance though. You might check around one of these types of places and see if anything fits your needs.
I had a problem a few years ago finding a bookshelf that wasn't made of particle board. I ended up going to lowes and having them cut a sheet of plywood down into 12"x30" pieces and made my own. It took about 4-5 hours of sanding and painting, but that thing will last forever.
I know that might not be an option for everyone, but it's an idea
PS, Memphis is on the southwestern tip of TN. Charlotte is about 3 hours further away than Atlanta.
As an experiment, I went through part of the ordering process for Billy bookcases at Ikea. They are orderable online, however the shipping costs are quite high at $99, which would defeat the purpose for most people. This number didn't seem to depend on how many I added to the cart. Maybe if you're buying several hundred dollars' worth of stuff it would make sense. I'm not sure if you noticed there's a private Ikea delivery service called "fetch" in Memphis, but their delivery cost is inexplicably even higher. I would be quite sad if there was no local Ikea.
Amazon has a few good options that are reasonably priced. I got my last bookcase from staples and it was only about 50 bucks I believe. Had it for 5 or 6 years.
I'm glad this was asked. I have been looking for new bookcases for about 12 years. I got one made by Whalen at Sam's Club a while back and liked it (pressed wood, but well-made), but can't find this one anymore, even on the manufacturer's site. In the last few weeks I have hit most of the nearby furniture stores (skipping the high end ones) but they are either over priced or non-existent. Several told me that they are only give three or four and they sell out quickly. One would think that this would be a clue that they need to stock MORE!
Last week I dropped by Office Depot for toner and checked out the bookcases there. Nothing terribly decorative, but some great prices. If you can settle for a very basic 5 shelf bookcase made of pressed wood, they had one for $35.
I agree that estate auctions, garage sales, antique coops , craig's list, etc... are great places to find some solid wood bookcases.
I did buy a solid wood folding stackable ones from Crate & Barrel 25+ years ago. My niece has them now and still going strong. They are great cause you can fold them if you need to store them or move.
I found something that looks sort of like it at Walmart. The description says solid beechnut. I don't remember what mine are made of. This is $59. Not bad. It's not a big unit. so I would advise getting 2. I have no memory of what I paid all those years ago.
You might try looking for those kitchen or garage style shelf systems they sell at home depot etc. Either metal or plastic or some type of resin? Worth looking on craigslist. The good ones - heavy duty - seem to last. But.... they dont fit books well if you want a bookcase look, and don't look like classy furniture.
Used office furniture places - who often advertise on craigslist have- have wood finish bookcases that can be good.
@narquespamley: Ouch I'm happy ikea is shipping more stuff now. I haven't been on their site in over a year or two because I always got depressed they wouldn't ship 99% of the stuff I wanted. Looks like there's a lot more now. But $299 to ship two bookcases. I could drive there and back and still have $ left for that price. The shipper is actually better they only want like $150. So better deal.
@capguncowboy: I thought about doing this. What thickness plywood did you use? I'm a noob to wood lol.
Figured this would be super easy. Looked at the 2x12 and dang that's thick. Think I could get away using 1x12s? Dunno if for everything or just for the shelves. Have to think about it and mess around.
That one would be simple. Though GF liked this one from samsclub http://www.samsclub.com/sams/open-shelf-bookcase/prod8620323.ip?navAction=
But it's only 2 feet wide. Really would like it to be the wider 3.5 foot that standard bookshelfs are.
Might try this. Think a noob could do it?
Here's the two from Ikea I like but not paying $300 to ship it.

During pregnancy, you should eat three meals a day with a few snacks to keep your blood sugars stable and accommodate for the limited room your stomach has to expand as your baby grows. Eating smaller, more frequent meals also helps manage nausea during the first trimester. You should not diet or limit carbohydrates or fats or be on any type of restrictive diet, unless recommended by your doctor. You need the calories and fat in a well-balanced diet to feed your growing baby.
The exception to nutritional foods that should not be eaten in pregnancy includes foods that can become easily colonized with listeria. This is a bacteria that can lead to gastrointestinal, intrauterine, and cervical infections either with or without fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It can also cause meningitis. In pregnant women, it is particularly dangerous, as listeria can cause miscarriages and stillbirths. Foods at risk of contamination with listeria include soft cheeses (brie, feta, Mexican cheese), unpasteurized dairy products, poorly stored deli meats that have not been heated to steaming, raw poultry, raw fish, raw meats, and smoked fish. Although fish is beneficial to the baby's developing nervous system, fish with a high content of mercury should be avoided. These include swordfish, large tuna steaks (albacore and most canned tuna is fine twice a week), tilefish, shark, and mackerel. Oysters and raw shellfish should be avoided due to other risks of diseases, including hepatitis A.
Foods That Should Be Avoided in Pregnancy
Proper nutrition can sometimes be a challenge. During the first trimester, when morning sickness or general nausea peaks due to the rapid hormone changes of pregnancy, it might be hard to eat a well-balanced diet. During this time, try to get enough calories and fluids and take your prenatal vitamin. If the prenatal vitamin is making you feel sick or constipated, ask your doctor for a different brand. Until then, take calcium tablets and a multivitamin along with an extra 400 mg folate. Vitamin-fortified cereals, food bars, or drinks can also provide extra nutrients (read the labels). You might have to stop exercising for a while if you are unable to eat enough calories. After the first trimester, this should improve and you should be able to tolerate more foods along with your prenatal vitamin.
If you have severe problems with morning sickness, or nausea and vomiting during the day and night there are many things you can do to try to ease and even prevent it. These include smelling or tasting a lemon, ginger, or lavender; snacking on crackers or cookies; eating a small meal every two hours; and sipping very cold lightly sweetened or carbonated beverages.
Because nausea and vomiting can often last all day and even at night, be prepared with scents, foods, and drinks that work for you. If you are vomiting, try to take in as much fluid as you can. Sports drinks are recommended throughout the day to replenish lost electrolytes.
Tips to Help with Pregnancy Nausea
For exercisers in particular, taking your daily prenatal vitamin is extremely important, as you especially need additional B vitamins, calcium, and iron to support your active lifestyle. Folate is the B vitamin essential to pregnancy. Do not take any other vitamins or supplements not recommended by your doctor, as these can be harmful to the baby. You must be especially careful of vitamins A and K, which at high doses can contribute to birth defects.

No. 113 Taxes and Fees on Communication Services
Communication services today consist of voice, video, and Internet access services delivered over telephone wires, cable TV lines, or wirelessly (via point-to-point signal transmission or satellite). In the past, each service relied on a different technology, allowing it to be purchased, regulated, and taxed separately. Today, all three can be delivered via all three technological platforms and are often offered in packages combining several different services using one or more platforms.
Cable television and telephone subscribers pay hefty taxes and fees on these services, while Internet access is largely untaxed. The burden on telephone and cable subscribers in 59 cities for which complete data are available is 13.40 percent. This is more than twice the average general sales tax paid on other goods (6.61 percent). This report documents taxes and fees on communication services, describes their destructive consequences, and calls for tax and regulatory reform.
Taxes and fees on communication services also vary greatly from city to city, from one communication service to another, and depending on the technology used to deliver otherwise-similar services. These variations make little sense and often are the legacy of tax and regulatory decisions made before the advent of modern communication technologies.
Some taxes and fees are imposed only on communication services. Most states and cities also impose general sales taxes and other taxes and fees on voice and video communication services, but not on broadband Internet access.
This study did not take into account corporate income or property taxes, even though communication companies pay those as well. Also excluded are nonprice concessions, such as non-repeating capital grants paid by cable companies and the cost of radio spectrum licenses paid by wireless companies. The 3 percent federal excise tax is excluded from wireless phone bills entirely and from the long distance portion of wireline phone bills. Part 2 of this report summarizes these and other methodological issues.
Parts 3 - 6 of this report documents the taxes and fees paid by communication service subscribers for each of 59 cities for which data were available. The entire database is available on two Web sites, www.heartland.org and www.beaconhill.org. Some highlights include:
- Cable television subscribers pay, on average, $6.12 a month in taxes and fees, or 11.69 percent of the average monthly subscription cost. Lansing, Michigan and Carson City, Nevada impose the lowest burdens while cable subscribers in Charlotte, North Carolina and Tallahassee, Florida pay the highest rates.
- Wireline telephone subscribers pay, on average, $8.32 a month in taxes and fees, or 16.87 percent of the average monthly telephone bill. Subscribers in Billings, Montana pay the least in taxes and fees while those in Los Angeles, California pay the highest rates.
- Wireless telephone subscribers pay, on average, $5.89 a month in taxes and fees, or 11.78 percent of the average monthly bill. The lowest burdens are in Carson City, Nevada and the highest are in Omaha, Nebraska.
- Broadband Internet subscribers pay, on average, $0.29 a month in taxes and fees if they use a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or $0.23 a month if they use a cable modem to access the Internet, for an imputed rate of 0.71 percent for both types of service. State and local taxes on Internet access are banned by the Internet Tax Freedom Act in all but eight states and some cities in Colorado, where preexisting Internet access taxes were "grandfathered."
- The total average monthly cost of taxes and fees paid by household with cable TV, wireline and wireless phone, and Internet access is $20.59, or 10.94 percent of the average monthly bill. The burden ranges from a low of $10.93 (5.81 percent) in Lansing, Michigan to a high of $30.22 (16.06 percent) in Tallahassee, Florida. Because broadband Internet access is rarely taxed, removing it from our calculations lowers the average monthly burden only slightly, to $20.33, but raises the effective rate to 13.40 percent.
Part 7 shows how taxes and fees on communication services vary considerably by type of service and choice of electronic device used to receive the service. For example, average taxes and fees on wireline voice service are twenty times higher than taxes and fees paid on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service. Taxes and fees on video service from a cable company are likely to be more than double the taxes and fees on the same video service offered by telephone companies over their new fiber-optic and IP video networks.
Part 7 also finds communication taxes and fees are very high compared with general sales taxes imposed on other goods. The average general sales tax on other products is 6.61 percent, less than half the 13.40 percent paid on cable television and phone calls. The average household would save $123.60 a year if taxes and fees on cable television and phone calls were the same as average general sales taxes on clothing, sporting goods, and household products.
Taxes and fees on telephone calls and cable TV often approach and even exceed taxes on liquor and tobacco. For example, taxes and fees paid by the average wireline telephone subscriber in a sample of 11 cities is higher than the average tax on beer.
Part 8 examines the negative impact of high and discriminatory communication taxes and fees, and finds they pose a heavy burden on consumers and distort consumer choices and investment decisions. Consumers pay approximately $37 billion a year in communication taxes and fees. Low-income families pay ten times as much as upper-income families do as a percentage of their annual incomes.
Part 9 discusses what policymakers can do to improve the situation. Local and state governments can repeal, reform, or replace cable franchise laws that restrict competition and consumer choice; states can reduce and streamline taxes on communication services; and the national government can preempt state and local franchising authority, ban discriminatory taxes on communication services, and reform the Federal Universal Service Fund to reduce its cost.
Part 10 contains brief concluding remarks. Appendix 1 presents more detail on methodology, and Appendix 2 contains data used to calculate the national average general sales tax rate. Finally, at the end of the study are biographies of the authors, acknowledgment of persons who participated in the peer review process, and descriptions of the sponsoring organizations.

STEUBENVILLE - Dominic Teramana admits he was "very, very excited" a little more than two years ago when he realized T.J. Maxx was as interested in the community's retail potential as he was in bringing a major clothier to the city.
He's even more excited now that the store is opening for business at 8 a.m. on Oct. 13 in the Hollywood City Center.
"It's amazing, particularly for a community that, from a population perspective and demographics, has been on the decline over the last 25, 30 years," said Teramana of Teramana Enterprises, which owns and operates the center. "But our shopping center has been protected by the fact that other developers don't always see the potential in our area and the topography doesn't lend itself to building another strip center."

T.J. COMING — The Hollywood City Center has seen several moves among its tenants during the past two years. One of the latest changes will be the opening of a new T.J. Maxx store, coming Oct. 13. — Paul Giannamore
The soon-to-be-open T.J. Maxx will take up nearly 25,000 square feet of retail space in Hollywood Center, he said. It will occupy the storefront vacated by Office Max.
"We had to totally reconfigure all the restrooms, all the offices," he said. "Being that it was a grocery store at one time we had to do a lot of leveling, and there were a lot of lighting issues. We did the flooring, the lighting, even the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) had to be expanded ... they wanted more smaller units vs. the larger, but fewer, units than were there before. We had to do all that, and we also had to rebuild the dock area to their requirements, give them a break area and a training area."
The transformation didn't come cheap, but there's no disputing the results - which is exactly the reaction Teramana was looking for, given the effort he's made during the past five or 10 years to give the half-century-old property a makeover with updated storefronts and a clock tower to create a collegiate feel, all while incorporating green spaces, new curbing and a unified walkway to enhance the shopping experience.
"It's just a beautiful store," he said. "And, our drawing area is going to expand dramatically. We'll probably have the only T.J. Maxx between Pittsburgh and Columbus. I think we'll attract people from Harrison County, Jefferson County and probably even East Liverpool. We'll probably attract shoppers from Weirton, Wellsburg and Follansbee, too. I think it's going to be better for all of the businesses and better for our community in general."
There's been a lot of behind-the-scenes work done to make it all happen.
He said in many ways it was like fitting the pieces of a puzzle together.
"We'd just had CVS go vacant, and that space turned out to be exactly the right size for the new Office Max prototype, and the old Office Max space turned out to be exactly right for T.J. Maxx."
What they have now is a retail center very close to 100 percent occupancy, a major achievement in and of itself.
"There are some changes we're doing at the building where Fabian's used to be and where Mattress USA used to be. There's a great user going in," he said. "Once that's done, we won't have any vacant space in the center."
And, with T.J. Maxx in the fold, Teramana figures Hollywood City Center has become the kind of retail destination he'd envisioned when he took over his family's management company.
"I think Hollywood City Center is in the best shape it's ever been - we have brand new leases with AAA tenants. Kroger has been spending money big time on the inside of its store and we're spending money on peripheral properties in front of the center. We've also put in planters and walkways," he said.
"But you have to take care of what you've got, make sure it's inviting to the people who live close to it and would like to be able to shop here, in their community. We're so close to Pittsburgh, people have their choice of shopping destinations but over the last 15 years, the (shift) has been to strip power centers a lot like ours. We've worked hard at it, but we've been fortunate.
"Those of us who live here realize we're just 35 miles or so from the Pittsburgh airport and maybe 45 miles from the Golden Triangle, PNC Park, Heinz Field, Heinz Hall and all the other things Pittsburgh has to offer, but at the same time, we're still a small community with a great strip mall.
"I'm as excited about Steubenville as I've always been. To have a strip center as complete as ours is and in as good condition as ours, and in a very safe community, hopefully it will attract people to come to our area and realize that Steubenville has a lot to offer, make them think about living here."

I am am currently studying Newtonian mechanics from a conceptional and axiomatic point of view. Now, if I am not mistaken, one (but surely not all) statement of Newtons second law about nature is, that (almost ?) every motion of a "classical particle" (or "small body") can be described by a second order differential equation on $\mathbb{R}^3$ (or $\mathbb{R}^{3n}$ if one considers a system of $n$ particles). That is, if $I \ni t \mapsto x(t) \in \mathbb{R}^{3n}$ is a motion of $n$ particles in some environment, there is a smooth function $f \colon \mathbb{R}^{3n} \times \mathbb{R}^{3n} \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^{3n}$ (which describes the influence of the environment) such that $\ddot x(t) = f(x(t),\dot x(t), t)$ for all $t \in I$, thereby $I$ is an interval and $\dot x$ denotes the derivative of $x$.
Now my question is, if there is a good, mathematical sound intuition, which kinds motions are not allowed by Newtons second law because of the fact that it is a second order differential equation.
In other words: I want to analyze in detail, what Newtons seconds law tells us about nature. Especially I want to grasp, how the condition to be a second order differential equation gives restrictions to possible conceivable motions of particles. What would be allowed additionally if the equations were of $3$. or higher order?

Week 12
GOOD NEWS NOTES - Week 12
There are many ways to share with others about Christ. For me, I enjoy doing "servant evangelism" a method of showing kindness to others. Servant evangelism seems to fit my shape. For six weeks I experimented with going to businesses and asking to clean their restrooms. I usually had some strange looks, but most of the time I had their immediate attention. Many could not believe what I was offering to do. After a few moments of trying to decide if this guy really wants to clean our restrooms they usually would say "if you want to, go ahead." After the cleaning, I would thank them and wait for the question. Almost all would say why are you doing this? I would smile and say I am out today showing God's love in a practical way, or showing how God's grace is free. For me it is a fun way to show people God's love. Many times it would lead to further discussion about God's love. For you, cleaning restrooms may not fit your shape but other kinds of servant evangelism may.
Another way to share with others is outlined in the little book by Rebecca Manley Pippert, "Talking about Jesus without Sounding Religious." She suggests that we can best gain the trust of others by three steps. The first step is listening. We have already discussed how important this is. Certainly by listening we learn about the person that enables us to do the next step. The second step is arousing or stimulating interest. Just like cleaning the restrooms I was able to arouse interest. Jesus did this with the woman at the well with the living water, he told Nicodemus about being born-again, and every parable pricked the interest of the hearers and some were able to understand a spiritual truth. After the first two steps then we should be able to relate the gospel in a way that will communicate to their need. These three steps may take some time. The third step is sometimes the hardest but is necessary for people to be able to struggle with the need for a commitment.
Josh Hunt is a Sunday School growth expert. He suggests that any Sunday School class can double in a year. One method to do this is that members dedicate their Friday nights to their missing friends. In a very relaxed atmosphere of a home BBQ he says to invite some Christian friends and one or two missing friends. During the evening spend some time introducing each other and let them tell a little about themselves. Some may include their role in the church or some other mention of a spiritual note. It may be that saying a prayer before the meal is all the spiritual touch for the first night. Josh says if groups of Christians will follow these simple steps for building purposeful relationship, this will lead very naturally to growth in your classes.
Scripture - I Corinthians 9:22b-23a - Paul said, "I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel."
Action - What are some ways you can share with others? Spend some time praying for leadership.
Prayer - Lord, please lead me in discovering the best way to develop relationships with missing people. Help me in my faith so I might be like Paul to be all things to all men.
