Dallas Auto Rama 2005Written by on July 1, 2005 Showing Off In Texas
Perhaps it was because the 45th Annual O'Reilly Auto Parts AutoRama in Dallas, Texas, was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Chevy small-block that Chevy trucks seemed to be in the vast majority at the show. It's more likely, however, that Texans just prefer the Bow-Tie brand, both in their basic truck and for muscle-power under the hood.
To highlight the theme, Dallas Area Classic Chevys assembled a display of six '55s, ranging from a restored Bel Air two-door sedan with a Power-Pac 265-cid V-8, through mildly customized examples, to an all-out drag racer. That original powerplant design could be found throughout AutoRama in an array of modifications under the hoods of many light trucks, like those in the "Pickups and Panels Club" display. It even powered two of the three phantom '37 Ford Ute-style pickups, which seems to be the street-rod design-of-the-year.
The mid-February exhibition in the Dallas Market Hall drew about 300 entries in all classes (even power boats).
This fun-loving group has very hot trucks, and we aren't referring to Dallas' semi-tropical climate. We were surprised to see how many trucks were set up for racing, some with Pro Street chassis, big-block engines, superchargers, and multiple carburetors.
There were several trucks among the top entries competing for points in the GM Performance Parts Show-Car Series. Louisiana-based Cliff Angelle showed his 454ci big-block-powered '57 Chevy 1/2-ton with a custom Optima Leather interior (CCT Feb. '05). Lloyd Conley of Stafford, Missouri, is making the show rounds again this year with his immaculate, Sunset Orange Pearl '57 Chevy Cameo (CCT Feb. '03). Jack McCandliss came a long way from Des Moines, Washington, to show his Viper Red Pro Street '71 Ford Ranchero, and John and Mary Sue Bedenbender are again traveling the show circuit out of Mt. Vernon, Texas, with their black '66 El Camino with satin-finish trim.
The Dallas AutoRama is always a showcase for the best street, show, and race trucks Texas has to offer. Take a look at this small sampling of the custom trucks we caught in our view-finder this year.

Dr. Bill Brockton is in the middle of a nuclear-terrorism disaster drill when he receives an urgent call from the nearby town of Oak Ridge--better known as Atomic City, home of the Bomb, and the key site for the Manhattan Project during World War II. Although more than sixty years have passed, could repercussions from that dangerous time still be felt today?
With his graduate assistant Miranda Lovelady, Brockton hastens to the death scene, where they find a body frozen facedown in a swimming pool behind a historic, crumbling hotel. The forensic detectives identify the victim as Dr. Leonard Novak, a renowned physicist and designer of a plutonium reactor integral to the Manhattan Project. They also discover that he didn't drown: he died from a searing dose of radioactivity.
As that same peril threatens the medical examiner and even Miranda, Brockton enlists the help of a beautiful, enigmatic librarian to peel back the layers of Novak's life to the secret at its core. The physicist's house and personal life yield few clues beyond a faded roll of undeveloped film, but everything changes when Brockton chances upon Novak's ninety-year-old ex-wife, Beatrice. Charming and utterly unreliable, she takes him on a trip back into Oak Ridge's wartime past, deep into the shadows of the nuclear race where things were not quite as they seemed.
As Beatrice drifts between lucidity and dementia, Brockton wonders if her stories are fact or fancy, history or myth. But he knows one thing--that she holds the key to a mystery that is becoming increasingly labyrinthine. For as the radiation count steadily rises, and the race to find the truth intensifies, the old woman's tales hint at something far darker and more complex than the forensic anthropologist himself could have ever imagined.

Oops, something didn't work.
I felt sad that the only comment was SPAM so that's why I commented. It must not feel that good to not get any comments so here I go.
I watch the video and it is good, keep doing these countdowns! I like it and I like the new Digital Timer, it's better and more technological. Also the guest seemed quite nervous, I know you don't look that nervous but it got me thinking what a great job you do at hiding it!
Really hope to get soms new news on this show. Everybody is expecting MIX10 to be give us a final explanation about what is going to happen to:
# Live FrameWork
# Live Mesh (desktop and apps and sync)
# Windows Live Wave 4
Because the Live framework CTP has been unavailable since september 2009 and half a year of NO NEWS is really a bugger. Hope to get some confirmation or other news about that before MIX on this show...

If you could only choose one of these lenses for a dive trip...which one would you take and why?

If you could only choose one of these lenses for a dive trip...which one would you take and why?
Posted 09 March 2013 - 04:50 PM
This is a perennial subject, do a quick forum search and you will find a cart load of threads comparing the two lens.
Briefly I'd take the 60mm as it is more versatile.
It will also depend on where you're trip is too and what you have on your wish list to shoot. EG if you where going to a tropical
location with relatively clean water and say where hoping to get some shots of Mandarinfish then I'd go for the 105mm and dive
according to that lens. Which ever choice you make there will be a compromise, but the 60mm will offer wider options (pardon pun).
Underwater Images My portfolio on Redbubble Topside Nature Images
In between housings. Nikon 60mm, 105mm, 10-24mm, 18-55mm, Tokina 10-17mm, Kenko 1.4 TC, SubSee +5 & +10 magnifiers & Inon Z240 strobes.
Posted 09 March 2013 - 05:07 PM
I agree with Jim.
But I mainly use the Kenko 1.4X Teleconverter with my 60mm which give me even more versatility.
Regards Mark
Posted 10 March 2013 - 08:00 AM
It depends on format as well.
My vote would be
DX => 60mm
FX=> 105mm
Nikon D800, Nikon 60, 105, 16-35, Sigma 15, Nauticam D800, Zen 230mm, Subsee +5 & +10, 2*INON Z240
Posted 10 March 2013 - 08:15 AM
Erik's absolutely right. The 60mm isn't tight enough for an FX sensor, but it's just right for a DX: even if you would have to get that bit closer for 1:1 reproduction, the smaller sensor makes it less necessary. On an FX sensor the 105mm is almost ideal: under some circumstances, you can even take the image of schooling fish!
Posted 10 March 2013 - 02:41 PM
Thanks for the info Guys...appreciate it!
Posted 17 March 2013 - 05:30 PM
take both... tell the wife she doesn't need all that shampoo... they have it in the hotel room, hide them in the kids rucksacks they don't need toys they are going on holiday!!.. anything... but take both. i did a trip to Egypt and i only took my 60mm as i agree with jim it is a very versatile lens but the super macro photogrpaher in me kept wanting to get more magnification and i find it hard with the 60mm as it is too close. and i find that with the teleconvertor my AF does not work smoothly..
Posted 17 March 2013 - 10:19 PM
Ok, I agree that for Super macro work a 105mm would be better.

Hi. I'm a total novice and have never used a 60, so could be way off the mark here, but when I was researching which macro lens to get I saw a suggestion to look at photos taken with the different lenses. I had quite a strong preference for the photos taken with the 105 (DX). I also read that it was harder to use than a 60 but decided to get one anyway.
It definately is tricky to use but now that I am getting the hang of it, the photos I am taking are (in a novice kind of way) like I imagined (close up shots of small fish with really blurred backgrounds).
I've definately seen a few potential subjects and thought it would be good to have less magnification but I'm sure that works both ways.
Posted 18 March 2013 - 08:31 AM
I focused on the 105. It took some getting proficient but now I never use the 60mm unless the vis is bad. (I usually dive in relatively clear water.) I then purchased a +10 Sub See (old style) and that took a long while to even get competent (not proficient). I traded up to a +5, +10 Sub See combination and found the +5 pretty easy to use but the +10 is stil a work-in-progress. I tried a Sigma150mm. It focused way too slow. (Anyone want one cheap?) I tried a Kento 2:1 T/C but the autofocus was poor. (Anyone want one cheap?)
So the 105 is still my workhouse. Going to little cayman the puddle jumper costs a buck a pound so I am taking one lens -- the 105mm.
Still trying to get more than 1:1. Maybe an extension tube or a Nikon T/c next
Fyi: I shoot a D-300
Posted 19 March 2013 - 12:56 AM
I want to say only one thing
Nikon 60 Micro have a amazing AF speed, which 105 don't have.
This skill means that is possible to catch fast moving subject and maintaining it in focus.
I realized that trying to shot a close image of a little fresh water jellyfish (7-10mm length) in open water. Super fast 60 micro AF make it possible.
Yes of course 60 on DX is the best, on FX is not enough long. I'm waiting for a 105 micro with the same 60 AF speed !
Posted 19 March 2013 - 03:34 PM
So then is the 60mm AF- D lens or the newer 60mm AF-S lens the better choice??
Posted 19 March 2013 - 03:38 PM
Posted 20 March 2013 - 03:07 PM
Not my experience that the 105 is slow AF.
Posted 21 March 2013 - 01:14 AM
I'm referring to Nikon 60/2.8 AF-S. Sorry!
The 60 AF-S is an internal focusing lens and it has a very fast auto focusing skill, more faster than the 105 AF-s VR.
Obviously 60 is too short focal on FX format

Posted 07 May 2013 - 02:10 AM
Yes, it is.
Posted 07 May 2013 - 04:08 AM
Another thing to think about with the 60mm Nikkor Macro is that the AFD version can be used with a TC like the Kenko pro 300 1.4x, its cheaper, and its only a fraction slower in AF than the AFS 60mm.
Regards Mark
Posted 07 May 2013 - 05:04 AM
Depends where the dive trip is, what the viz will be and the types of marine life at that time of year, whether or not you'll get a focus gear with it.
The 60mm is easier to use- but the 105 will get you shots of better scale with flighty pelagic fish or gobbies and blennies. Ambient light shots the 60mm is great http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream
If your shooting tiny stuff(105mm, possibly a 5 or 10+diopter) or fish portraits(60mm and the TC)- both have a time and a place, really you need both, if you did 1 dive and noticed lots of nudi's, you'd change lenses to the 105mm for the next dive......... but as a first lens and only lens, I'd go with the 60mm- it's cheaper if you wet it
I bought one Vg condition 2nd hand on ebay for $222.50, a 105mm EXC for $390 both the D type and got the xit404 zoom knob focus gear, as I found selecting a focus point blows the shot timing and makes lots of rubbish bin shots.
- so many factors to think about.
here look at these- it has a few 35mm shots that aren't as sharp as the 60mm or 105mm

Do gobbies make a lot of angry noises underwater? Or is that a joke that only a Brit would follow?

I have a question...this actually a little backward from what most people want.
I want to have a PHP script trigger a Cron job(PHP DB backup script) to execute when certain DB changes take place. The reason I want it to occur like this is, I want this process to occur in the background and not affect the user as DB dumps may cause the browser to time out.
I have a cron job set to automatically execute a PHP script daily to backup/replace a mysql dump file, I want to be able to execute this cron programmatically from the site.
Anyone ever do this or is it even possible? Thanks in advance for any insight.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- Award-winning biographer Megan Marshall will deliver SUNY Geneseo's 2012 Walter Harding Lecture Sept. 27 at 4 p.m. in the College Union Ballroom. Her address, "Biography as Intellectual History: Two Lives of the Mind," will focus on American educator Elizabeth Peabody, and journalist and women's rights advocate Margaret Fuller.
Marshall is assistant professor of writing, literature and publishing at Emerson College, where the Graduate Student Association named her Outstand Faculty Member in 2012.
She is the author of "The Peabody Sisters: Three Women Who Ignited American Romanticism" (2005), which won the Society of American Historians' 2006 Francis Parkman Prize.
On the society's website, Patricia Cline Cohen, professor of history at the University of California at Santa Barbara, observes that "Marshall brilliantly succeeds in bringing to life the complex sisters, each maneuvering to make her mark in a world just on the verge of a dawning feminism. Marshall restores their place in the history of Transcendentalism, and, thanks to unusually rich primary sources she has uncovered, she presents a seamless, almost filmic narrative of actions, interior thoughts, even gestures and meaningful silences. This is a rare feat in biographies, most especially biographies of antebellum women."
Marshall's reviews and essays have appeared in "The Atlantic;" "Slate;" "The New Republic;" "The New Yorker;" "The New York Times Book Review;" "The London Review of Books;" and "The Boston Review." Her latest book, "Margaret Fuller: A New American Life," will be published in March, 2013, by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
SUNY Geneseo launched the annual Harding lecture in 2004 in honor of the late Distinguished Professor Emeritus Walter Harding, an internationally known faculty member who was the world's leading scholar on 19th-century author Henry David Thoreau. Harding was the founding secretary and former president of the Thoreau Society, the oldest and largest international organization devoted to the study of any American author.
Harding taught in the Department of English for 26 years. He died in 1996. Harding's wife, Marjorie Brook Harding, created an endowment to make the lecture series possible. She significantly enlarged the endowment in 2010 , assuring that generations of Geneseo students and faculty will benefit from Walter Harding's tradition of scholarship and learning.

5 Presidents Who Were Total Badasses in Their Youth
We tend to think of American presidents as leading straight-laced, boring lives before their time as commander-in-chief, because with a handful of notable exceptions, the office of the president has been reserved for people whose lives consisted of law school and then several decades in politics.
But as it turns out, many presidents spent their younger years going on Hollywood-worthy adventures through history, doling out Old West-style justice and opening casino bars in the South Pacific.
#5. Young Jimmy Carter Was Lowered into a Malfunctioning Nuclear Reactor
Fox Photos/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
You may only know Jimmy Carter as the goofy-looking president who presided over a particularly depressing era in America when everyone was just waiting for the shitty 1970s to end. But back in 1952, Carter was a 28-year-old Navy lieutenant doing something that could absolutely be the premise of a taut action movie that today would almost certainly star Mark Wahlberg: A nuclear reactor was on the verge of meltdown, and one man would have to lead a team into the heart of the disaster before time ran out.
via Academy of Achievement
His name was James Earl Carter. Of course he was an action hero.
And so young Jimmy Carter led a containment team of 24 men into the Chalk River Laboratories nuclear research facility near Ottawa, Canada, after a reactor accident released 4,500 tons of radioactive water into the building's basement (nuclear safety manuals in the 1950s were apparently just single issues of The Uncanny X-Men).
Carter divided his team (himself included) into rotating 90-second shifts spent conducting cleanup and repairs directly next to the overheating reactor while wearing protective gear with the same anti-radioactivity rating as a Huckleberry Hound Halloween costume. It was essentially like that sequence in K-19: The Widowmaker wherein Peter Sarsgaard and his team take turns putting on flimsy plastic coveralls to get boiled alive by waves of white-hot atomic fire pouring out of a malfunctioning submarine core. And yes, we said the shifts were 90 seconds long -- that was the longest a human body could tolerate the conditions (and that turned out to be grossly unsafe, based on what we know now).
Ablestock.com/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
The plant bosses knew it then too, but they didn't tell Jimmy.
To track their progress, Carter's team built a life-size replica of the damaged reactor on a nearby tennis court where each team member could practice the next step of repairs, because it wouldn't do for someone to go all the way down into the radioactive death basement and then forget what the hell it was they came there to hammer for 90 seconds. Carter and his team might spend an entire trip tightening a single bolt before scurrying back upstairs to rinse off all the science poison.
Carter would later write that he "absorbed a year's maximum allowance of radiation in one minute and 29 seconds," and that his team's exposure was about a thousand times greater than any human being would be allowed today. Carter soaked up so much atom juice that for the six months following the cleanup he had radioactive urine. That's right -- the man peed radiation, which you may recognize as an episode of The Incredible Hulk that we've always wanted to see.
#4. Sheriff Grover Cleveland Cleaned Up New York by Personally Executing Felons
Before he earned the dubious distinction of being the only American president to have a Muppet named after him, Grover Cleveland was elected sheriff of Erie County, New York, on a strong platform of vowing to fix up the county's notoriously crime-ridden Canal District. The nearby Ohio River attracted hordes of sailors and transients, who were encouraged by the area's staggering 673 local saloons to make Canal District as close to Sweeney Todd's London as they possibly could. Erie County also had more prisoners per capita than any other county jail in the state of New York, so installing Grover Cleveland as sheriff was presumably the last resort before flying Kurt Russell in on a futuristic hang glider to restore order.
Buffalo Historical Society
Pictured: the county's courthouse brothel thunderdome.
Cleveland took a hands-on approach to his time as sheriff, so much so that, instead of hiring a contract executioner, which was apparently a job that people put together a resume and applied for, Cleveland personally carried out the hangings of two criminals. He believed it was his "moral responsibility" to perform the executions, rather than forcing someone else to do it for him. It also didn't hurt that strangle-breaking people's necks himself wound up saving his district a little bit of money.
Even in light of this powerful evidence to the contrary, Cleveland was actually the least insane person in regard to executions in Erie County. Before he took office, the Buffalo death penalty scene had enjoyed a "circus atmosphere," with people gathering together on nearby rooftops to enjoy the spectacle of a fellow human being spasming out his last horrifying moments of life while dangling from the end of a rope like a cat toy. Cleveland, on the other hand, put up canvas sheets to block the view of any onlookers and give the condemned a small amount of decency before dropping them through a trap door into oblivion.
Jean-Luc Stadler/Photos.com
So no one could watch. Other than Cleveland, the lucky son of a gun.
After departing the office of sheriff, Cleveland's rivals attempted to thwart his burgeoning political career by dubbing him "the Buffalo Hangman." Instead, Cleveland kept winning elections all the way up to the presidency, because, let's face it, that is an awesome nickname.
#3. Young Richard Nixon Opened a Casino Bar in the South Pacific During World War II
When Richard Nixon was in his late teens, he worked at a carnival in Prescott, Arizona, running a less than legal gambling game called the wheel of fortune, where participants could pay to spin a wheel for real cash prizes. But where most folks grow out of that kind of teenage mischief once they reach adulthood, Nixon would ride his love of illicit gambling right to the Oval Office. When he joined the American war effort in his 20s, he brought his love of gambling with him to the South Pacific, where he set up his own bar to hone his poker skills.
Digital Vision/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Thus earning him his famous nickname, "Sneaky Ricky."
We have no idea how Nixon managed to find the time to construct and operate an island casino bar, because we're reasonably sure that enlisting in the Navy in World War II meant the majority of your time would be spent hunting Japanese submarines and not living out the plotline of a 1960s war sitcom. Either way, Nixon was clearly already in the habit of doing whatever the hell he wanted and didn't give one whistling dolphin anus what anyone else thought.
To give you an example, he was so committed to his poker games that he turned down an invitation to have dinner with Charles Lindbergh when the famous hero pilot/racist stopped by the island because it overlapped with one of his nightly money-winning contests. Winning $50 from a bunch of drunken sailors was more important to Richard Nixon than meeting one of the most famous people in the world, because he was Richard goddamned Nixon and there was gambling money to be made. Keep in mind, he was doing this all in a bar he had opened himself at age 29 on an island in the South Pacific during the biggest global war in history. We really can't stress that enough.
Something about the island made people stop fighting and just chill.
So Nixon was like Paul Newman in The Hustler, if that movie had been about a satchel-faced poker player instead of a handsome pool shark. He made so much money from his nightly winnings (possibly as much as $10,000) that he was able to use them to finance a huge chunk of his first congressional campaign, which got him on the path to the White House.

Caltech students celebrate Pi with real pie
Even diligent, smart students like to close their math books and laptops to have some simple sugary fun once in a while.
Students at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena celebrated one of the most important numbers in mathematics - Pi - by eating actual pie.
Students at the high-tech school dug into blueberry, apple and other pies on Thursday, that is, the date of 3-14. Pi is 3.14.
But the students went further. Pi - which is used to calculate the circumference of a circle - actually is a never-ending number.
The students started at 1:59 a.m. and had 26 pies each of five kinds of pie. That covered Pi to nine digits - 3.14159265.
Caltech math club President Christopher Perez calls it "a celebration of nerdiness."

Middle English: from Old French tigre, from Latin tigris, from Greek.
Tiger goes back via French and Latin to Greek tigris—the beast was formerly found in Turkey and the Middle East, and would have been known to Europeans in classical times. The tiger is a fierce and dangerous creature, and to have a tiger by the tail is to have embarked on a course of action which turns out to be unexpectedly difficult, but which you cannot easily abandon. Having a tiger in your tank means that you have energy and spirit. The expression originated as a 1960s advertising slogan for Esso petrol, 'Put a tiger in your tank.' Since the start of the 1980s the successful smaller economies of East Asia, especially those of Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea, have been called tiger economies. The strength of Ireland during the 1990s led to its being dubbed the Celtic tiger. See also ride, wolf

The Shire Country Park
The Park contains wetlands, grasslands, woodland and heath supporting a wealth of animal and plant life on the doorsteps of Yardley Wood, Billesley, Springfield, Sparkhill and Small Heath.
Trittiford Pool is a good site for bat watching during late spring and summer and the pool supports breeding wildfowl including Swans, Great Crested Grebes and Coots. Nearby Scribers Lane SINC is a diverse site with mixed broadleaf woodland containing wet flushes and ditches, a disused millrace and a wetland scrape. Over the past few years there have been reports of Otter, Water Vole and Water Rail in this area.
Many local people support the work of the Rangers by helping at events and work days and full training, with formal, nationally recognised qualifications, can be obtained with Bournville College, which has linked with the Shire Country Park to offer places on its environmental conservation course. The course will give students the opportunity to gain a wide range of practical and theoretical skills within the field of conservation. If you are interested why not find out more information about the NVQ Level II in Environmental Conservation.
The Millstream Way
The Millstream Way is part of The Shire Country Park. The Country Park includes the following sites:
Scribers Lane SINC
Trittiford Mill Pool
The Dingles
Chinn Brook Recreation Ground
Sarehole Mill Recreation Ground
Moseley Bog LNR
Burbury Brickworks
The John Morris Jones Walk Way
Cocksmoor BMX
Wildlife and Biodiversity
Butterflies, foxes, water voles and bats may be seen. Bird lovers can spot Kingfishers, Sparrowhawks, all three British species of Woodpecker, a variety of Warblers in the Summer and Redwings and Fieldfares in the Winter months within a mile or so of the city centre.
The River Cole runs through the Shire Country Park and is rich in fish and invertebrate life, providing a good food supply for exploring otters, which have been seen on the Blythe nearby. Artificial holts have been constructed in the river banks.
Trees supporting the wildlife include willows, alders and mature oaks. A wide range of wild flowers are abundant and in spring, lesser celandine, wild garlic, wood anemone and bluebells flourish.
One ford is still in use along the walkway. Sites of disused fords are seen on John Morris Jones Walk Way and by Four Arches Bridge at The Dingles.
Nature Conservation &Ranger Service Activities
The Ranger Service works with local people and groups such as the River Cole and Chinn Brook Conservation Group, Moseley Bog Conservation Group and the Burbury Brickworks PLNR Conservation Group. Other local volunteers help to manage and preserve the environment along the river walkway.
Events such as walks, talks and rural crafts and children's activities are held throughout the year. Find out more about Ranger Service events.
Tolkien's Shire
The internationally celebrated author J.R.R Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. Tolkien and his brother spent their childhood in Birmingham with their widowed mother. They first lived in the hamlet of Sarehole, which Tolkien said were the happiest years of his youth. Sarehole is said to have been the model for The Shire, home to the hobbits.
Every year the Tolkien Weekend is held at Sarehole Recreation Ground and Moseley Bog Local Nature Reserve part of the Shire Country Park. 2005 commemorated the 50th anniversary of the release of The Lord of the Rings.
Sarehole Mill
Ronald and his brother spent many hours playing around Sarehole Mill and being chased away by the miller's son. The Mill features in The Hobbit when Bilbo Baggins runs "as fast as his furry feet could carry him down the lane, past the great Mill, across The Water and then on for a mile or more."
In the 1960s Tolkien contributed to a public appeal to restore the mill which had become dilapidated. It is now a museum and is the only surviving water mill in the City's ownership.
Moseley Bog
Now a Local Nature Reserve, Moseley Bog was an ideal place for Tolkien's childhood adventures. It is an ancient place with Bronze Age burnt mounds and a mill pool, probably a storage pool for Sarehole Mill. The bog is recalled in Tolkien's description of the Old Forest, last of the primeval wild woods where Tom Bombadil lived.
There is no lighting along the Millstream Way so planning for daylight is important. Walkers are reminded to wear suitable clothing and footwear and to respect private property and wildlife. Sections of the route are not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs.

I'm looking for a jquery's plugin that will constantly slide some elements from e.g right to left and when I move a mouse pointer over an element, the animation stops. When I move the mouse pointer out, the animation continues. Did You find that plugin ? I've seen that but I can't remember where.
There quite a lot of jQuery powered sliders that can do such job. Here are just a few that should fall under your requirements (I'm just not 100% sure on "constantly right to left" requirement -- if fade in/out (or similar effects) counts as "right to left" the it will be fine):
Standalone slider:
All what you need is here:
Just select which suites your needs. Easy to integrate and many customizable options available with documentation and demos.
Hope this helps.
Nivo slider is a good choice. It has plenty of options to configure, it's free and well documented.

Is the following sentence grammatically incorrect?
Is it true that 1+1=2 ?
I know it is easier to say: Is 1+1=2 true?
Is the following sentence grammatically incorrect?
I know it is easier to say: Is 1+1=2 true?
No; the sentence "Is it true that 1 + 1 = 2?" is perfectly grammatically correct.
In logic, there are tests that depend on being able to prefix almost arbitrary sentences with "It is the case that ..." or "It is true that ..." and if the result still makes sense, then certain properties hold (it is a declarative sentence which could be a proposition). For example, you can test:
The first is a declarative sentence like 'one plus one equals two' is a declarative sentence; it can be prefixed with "Is it true that" and it makes sense. However, you can't say "Is it true that go there!" -- it is not a declarative sentence.
In ordinary usage, "is it true that 1+1=2 ?" and "is 1+1=2 true?" are both grammatically correct, synonyms, and largely interchangeable. The first sentence construction might be preferred because it places the mathematical expression at one end of the sentence. The second construction is particularly awkward when pronounced: when you hear "is complicated mathematical expression true", it's hard to remember the verb that "true" is a complement of.
In mathematical usage, treating mathematical relations as verbs is frowned upon. A sentence like "is it true that 1+1=2 ?" looks ungrammatical because "1+1=2" looks like a mathematical expression (which happens to be a proposition), distinct from the English phrase "one plus one equals two". In grammatical terms, "1+1=2" is equivalent to a noun group, it can't function as a verb. This is particularly true amongst logicians, since there is a step of semantic interpretation involved in going from "1+1=2" to "one plus one equals two", and logicians are used to settings where this step is non-trivial. Even mathematicians and assorted practicioners who aren't logicians often consider "is it true that 1+1=2 ?" bad style.

GENESEO, N.Y. – Five SUNY Geneseo faculty members, two from the college's professional staff and one from the classified services are among recipients of Chancellor's Awards for Excellence for the 2012-13 academic year. The awards are SUNY system-level honors to provide recognition for consistently superior professional achievement and to encourage the ongoing pursuit of excellence. The chancellor presents the awards annually to faculty and staff in six categories: teaching; faculty service; scholarship and creative activities; professional service; librarianship; and classified service.
Receiving Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Teaching were Justin Behrend, assistant professor of history; Charles G. Freeman, professor and chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy; and Gillian Paku, assistant professor of English. Michael L. Oberg, professor of history, received the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities and Emilye Crosby, professor of history, received the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Faculty Service. Wendi R. Kinney, assistant dean of students for fraternal life and off-campus services, and Jeffrey Nordland, director of accounting services, both received a Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Professional Service. The Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Classified Service went to Donna Hanna, library clerk 3, in the college's Milne Library.
"SUNY employs an exemplary body of faculty and staff across the state and the annual presentation of these awards underscores our deep appreciation for those who serve SUNY campuses, students, and communities with the highest levels of distinction," said Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. "Congratulations to all of this year's honorees."
Individuals selected for this honor are role models within the SUNY community. In acknowledgment of their selection, recipients are recognized in the college catalogue by the addition of the phrase "State University Chancellor's Award for Excellence in [category]." A certificate and a Chancellor's Excellence Medallion are also bestowed upon each honoree to commemorate selection. Recipients are honored by their respective campuses during commencement exercises, at academic convocations, or other special events hosted in their honor.
Justin Behrend joined the Geneso faculty in 2007, where he primarily teaches African-American history in the Civil War Era. He has quickly earned the respect of his students and colleagues for creating dynamic lessons that truly foster active student learning. He addresses the fundamental questions of social inequality, racism and other forms of injustice and gives students the tools to express informed opinions about these issues even as they are challenged to question their own assumptions. He is an exemplary scholar-teacher, having published numerous papers and articles in his field.
Charles G. Freeman brings a high level of dynamism to the classroom, bringing in demonstrations of physical concepts, simulations, video games and other tools. He provides students direct, hands-on experiences with physics while guiding them in the relevant procedures and analyses. Among his scholarly activities, Freeman is involved with nuclear fusion research and frequently uses it to teach and mentor students. He is committed to bringing all of his students to his or her individual peak of learning.
Gillian Paku has been on the Geneseo faculty for almost five years and has come to epitomize the teacher-scholar model that is at the center of Geneseo's mission as a liberal arts college. She has excelled both inside and outside of the classroom, earning the praise and respect of fellow colleagues and students alike. She has provided leadership and guidance to the English Department during curriculum revision. Her teaching philosophy is apparent in her careful course designs, intellectually engaging yet accessible classroom interactions, creative group writing projects and individual meetings with students. She also has pursued an active research agenda, focusing on such topics as the dialogue surrounding pedagogy and technology.
Michael L. Oberg joined the Geneseo faculty in 1998 and focuses much of his work on Native American history. His dissertation became the basis for one of his six books on the topic with three additional books either under contract or in press. In addition, he has published a dozen scholarly articles and chapters as well as more than 20 book reviews. Oberg is a frequent speaker at academic history conferences and special forums. He is a highly regarded consultant and researcher for the Seneca Nation in Western New York and the Indian Resources section of the United States Department of Justice.
Emilye Crosby has been at Geneseo since 1995 and has become a model for faculty who complement their teaching and scholarship with service. She has contributed in extraordinary ways beyond her outstanding teaching and research (she won a Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2002.) Her service includes curriculum development, interdisciplinary program administration, student mentoring, supplemental program faculty governance and service to the profession. She has complemented her scholarship with more than two dozen reviews of work by other historians in the field of Civil Rights. She brings her nationally acclaimed scholarly activity, as well as her personal connections with the "heroes" of the Civil Rights movement, back to her students and colleagues at Geneseo.
Wendi R. Kinney came to Geneseo in 2001 and has since introduced a number of substantive improvements in how Greek life functions at the college. She is recognized as a leading voice in her field of Greek life both in SUNY and beyond. Her colleagues see her as an outstanding professional who has had a significant positive impact on many aspects of student life at Geneseo. She also has built an impressive record of service to the college outside of her position, including serving as the executive director of the Northeast Greek Leadership Association.
Jeffrey Nordland's 25 years of service to SUNY Geneseo have been indispensable to the entire college. As both a budget analyst and director of accounting services, he has overseen expenditures and revenue, filed all appropriate banking and financial reports and handled all accounting responsibilities for the Geneseo Foundation. He is active in SUNY-wide services and on committees across the college. His colleagues praise his extraordinary reliability as an interpreter of financial regulations and his ability to think creatively and draw from his extensive SUNY and Geneseo experience to come up with desirable solutions.
Donna Hanna has been at Geneseo for 33 years and has played an essential role in the library, earning the respect, appreciation and admiration of everyone for her can-do attitude, high standards of excellence, strong service ethic, spirit of cooperation and positive attitude. Those nominating her for the honor noted that she approaches her work with enthusiasm and consistently carries out her many tasks in an outstanding and timely manner, performing well beyond the requirements of the job.

The IRS is warning people of a new scam. The scam targets potential recipients of the advanced child tax credit.
Last May the treasury department announced people who claimed the child tax credit on their 2002 tax returns would automatically receive an advance payment of the 2003 increase in this credit this summer.
The scam artists are calling people and promising to speed up the advance child tax credit payment for a charge of $39.99 billed to a credit card.
The IRS says there is no fast way to get your money. It's being mailed out on a schedule.
If your social security number ends in 34 to 66 your check will be mailed Aug. 1. If your social security number ends in 67 to 99 our check will be mailed out Aug. 8.
If you encounter this latest tax scam or suspect tax fraud of any kind call the IRS hotline at 1-800-829-0433.

Longtime La Plata County resident Rose Mackey Hanna died Sunday, June 3, 2012, in Allison. She was 83.
Mrs. Hanna was born to Nelson H. and Enola Mackey on Jan. 22, 1929, in Yellow Jacket in Montezuma County. She spent her formative years helping on the family ranch in Middle Mesa, N.M., about four miles south of Tiffany.
While attending grade school in Tiffany, she rode her horse to school every day. In 1946, Mrs. Hanna graduated from Ignacio High School.
On Sept. 1, 1948, she married Leslie D. Hanna in Aztec.
The Hannas lived in Durango most of their marriage, where Mrs. Hanna worked as a nurse�s aide at Community Hospital and at Mickelson�s Jewelry.
She attended the Church of Christ for many years, and in recent years had enjoyed attending the Cowboy Church in Allison.
She enjoyed sewing and growing flowers.
�Rose was a most caring and generous Christian lady,� her family said, �but nonetheless, not one with whom to trifle. Her life exemplified the true meanings of love and family, and she held great courage and frontier-style determination.�
Mrs. Hanna was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Leslie D. Hanna, in February 2002.
She is survived by her sons Alf Hanna of Allison, Tom Hanna of Bayfield, Doug Hanna of Stephenville, Texas, and Rodger Hanna of Ames, Neb.; daughters Martha Hanna of Allison and Lelia �Dee� or �Deed� Lopez of Ignacio; brother Jack Hanna of Middle Mesa; 18 grandchildren; 34 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 9, 2012, at the Mt. Allison Grange Hall, 10909 Colorado Highway 150.

In Guild Wars 2 you can play PvE, WvW, and PvP. When you play WvW and PvP you are at level 80, not your actual level. So is your level meaningless outside of PvE, or is there some reason for me to level my character even if I only intend to play in PvP and WvW?
If you're just going to play PvP then your level doesn't matter, because you're boosted to level 80, and have all your skills and trait points unlocked. However, in WvW only your stats are boosted to level 80. You'll still need to unlock skills and trait points by leveling up, they won't automatically be unlocked when you're in WvW like they are in PvP.
Some elements of Guild Wars scale you up to max level to let you enjoy them fully without having to spend the time to get to the maximum level. Others don't. For most PvE stuff, you'll have to level normally: You can neither do dungeons nor progress in your personal story without leveling, and crafting would only be possible by either dodging mobs in high-level zones as you gather the materials, buying them from other players or receiving them from guildmates.
Regarding the PvP aspect, arenas require no level: they place everyone at an even playing field, as a level 80 character with appropriate gear. This mimics the PvP-only character mechanic that was present in GW1, where you could make a max-level, max-gear character that could only partake in PvP. For WvW, your stats get boosted to those of a level 80 character, but your traits and potentially skills lag behind: Still, leveling in PvE is not needed, as WvW, unlike arena PvP, gives you experience points (arguably a lot more than normal PvE).

It is possible to send SMS Messages from a Sencha Touch App?
I have a requirement of an application that integrates with an Android Phone and Send and SMS Message from the application putting some params in there.
So, the sencha touch part will get the information and phone number to send a message.
It is this possible with this framework?
Thanks in advance.
27 Apr 2011 2:44 AM #2
If you have the phone number on your server or in the Sencha Touch application, you can easily communicate with an gateway to send an SMS.
If you need to get the phone number from the phone's local address book, you should look into PhoneGap.
27 Apr 2011 5:46 AM #3
Well the idea is that i send the message with from the phone where is running the app, without using web gateways. Taking advantage of the phone itself.
Phonegap could manage to do this ?Think like an action person, act like a thinking person

I would like to have the functionality for image to change when the user selects a different variation.
ie, If I'm selling a T-shirt and have create two variations (Red and White). I would like for the main product image box to the image when the user selects a color. The Red shirt image should be displayed when the Red "Color" variation is selected. On the backend there is an area to add product thumbnails for each variation but that does not correspond with any change to the product image on the frontend.

Galina promised that the Healing Waters pedicure would increase blood flow while prettifying our feet. "The water is from Italy," she explained, as we sunk our legs into the bubbling bath. The way it melted our tension, it could have been from Little Italy for all we cared. After a creamy fennel-oil mud application and rinse, Galina dethorned an ingrown that had given us grief for months and filed our nails into perfect squares. With our zippy circulation and coral-polished toes, we were tempted to skip home.

Socialites come here for a polish before painting the town.

This new mini salon has five manicure stations at a long table, plus a curtained-off area with four pedicure chairs that combines the efficiency of a Korean-owned nail parlor with the smooth style of an upscale day spa. Tucked in a corner of the beauty level, aka the basement of Bergdorf's, the soft-spoken Mila gives a careful manicure in a mere 20 minutes. Put down your magazine and people-watch while the Essie polish dries. Buffspa also offers Buffparties for 16 people, with champagne and hors d'oeuvres.

We have trouble relaxing during long beauty treatments (Calls to make! People to see!) but Bliss's new Moji-toes Pedicure put us in the zone. The two-hour treatment is served up with a Matusalem rum mojito. We settled in with magazines while Ustoyeva rested our feet on hot stones to soften calluses. After a lime-mint soak, a sugarcane peel, a brown-sugar scrub, a foot-and-calf massage, and a dip in paraffin wax, our feet were softer than they've ever been, and the mojito was loosening up everything else. By the time she reached for the polish, the magazines had slid off our lap and our lids were drooping. Our toes received so much attention they're still blushing a week later—the Bashful Pink polish hasn't chipped or faded.

Letting a manicurist see our unkempt nails is one thing. Letting her see our unkempt apartment is another. So the night before our Celeb CEO manicure, we maniacally cleaned the bathroom. Though we're neither a celeb nor a CEO, Tamika Hardy treated us like both. After a nail soak, she massaged our hands and arms. An episode of Ellen came and went, and Hardy was still at it, smoothing heated stones over our forearms. With a basecoat and two layers of pearlized pink lacquer, our nails were as immaculate as our newly scrubbed bathroom floor.

removeAll(true) calling destroy api
I have a a direct store setup:
Ihc.app.DirectProxy = new Ext.data.HttpProxy({ api:{ read:Ihc.app.DirectRequestURL+'/readOrderItems', create:Ihc.app.DirectRequestURL+'/newOrderItem', update:Ihc.app.DirectRequestURL+'/updateOrderItem', destroy:Ihc.app.DirectRequestURL+'/deleteOrderItem' } }); Ihc.app.DirectWriter = new Ext.data.JsonWriter({ encode:true, writeAllFields:true, listful:true }); Ihc.app.reader = new Ext.data.JsonReader({ totalProperty: 'total', successProperty: 'success', idProperty: 'orderItemID', root: 'data', messageProperty: 'message' }, [ {name: 'orderItemID'}, {name: 'item'}, {name: 'itemID'}, {name: 'size'}, {name: 'quantity'}, {name: 'categoryID'}, {name: 'comment'}, {name:'orderID'}, {name:'unlistedItem'} ]); Ihc.app.dsOrder = new Ext.data.Store({ proxy:Ihc.app.DirectProxy, writer:Ihc.app.DirectWriter, autoSave:true, reader:Ihc.app.reader, baseParams:{orderID:null}, listeners:{ exception : function(){ //Ihc.app.dsOrder.baseParams.orderID = null; Ihc.app.dsOrder.removeAll(true); } } });
26 Mar 2010 5:49 AM #2
As a work around I have set autoSave:false, and I am calling the save() method when I want to update the backend.
26 Mar 2010 11:37 AM #3
After continuing to play with this particular setup I started finding some other odd things.
1. When I would start a new order, and clear out the items in the store using removeAll, I would some times get an exception when trying to add a new item to the empty store. I would see a destroy call go out(even though I did not call it!!!) with the old record ids that were removed( I could see they were not in data.items) go out in the call.
2. I would also at times see the wrong item values get inserted. I could see the new items info go out in the create call, and see them come back in the response, but then the value would revert to that which was in the store before my removeAll call.
All of these issues really had me thinking I was not going to be able to use the direct writer for this control. Then I got a suggestion from Lloyd in the ext IRC chat to destroy the store, and start over, instead of removing the old records.
This suggestion fixed my problem, and allowed me to utilize the writer, and direct store with my grid. I'm not sure if this is the intent of the store, that it should be destroyed, but it is what I needed to do in my use case.
I hope this helps some one.
28 Mar 2012 4:53 AM #4
I can't stop it at all with 4.1.0-rc1, well, at least can't find a reference to autoSave anywhere in the Ext codebase.
Going to override the destroy method I think, since I only have to support reading.
28 Mar 2012 6:15 AM #5
Sorted it, with some code that feels very filthy.
In my TreeNode model class:
proxy: { type: 'ajax', /** * This gets called when we call removeChild with destroy set to true, and by default it tries to * sync with the server, which is not what we want. * This version simply removes the record from the store and calls the callback. * @param {[type]} operation The operation being performed. * @param {Function} callback The callbakc function. * @param {[type]} scope The scope in which to call the callback */ destroy: function(operation, callback, scope) { if (operation) { Ext.Array.each(operation.records, function(record) { if (record) { Ext.Array.each(record.stores, function(store) { store.remove(record); }); } }); } Ext.callback(callback, scope, [operation]); } }

Roger Schlesinger, originator of the nationally-renowned Mortgage Minute, has been helping educate his clients to meet their real estate financing needs for over 25 years. Roger's "Mortgage Minute" is heard daily on over 400 stations across the nation and has become the driving force in Roger's consumer-oriented, "mortgage education" approach to residential lending.
This points to the difference between government and business and shows you why government shouldn't be in business. They should spend their time governing!
Let's look at the bright side: All the extra time you don't have to pay a mortgage you will have the money to do something you would really like: travel, develop a hobby, retire, run for Congress or become a senior statesman!
Over the last weekend it was announced that the United States of America's Treasury Dept. took in more revenue over the 1st 5 months of the 2014 fiscal year than ever before.
For those who either don't watch tennis, ping pong or the Federal Reserve in action, you can look at their mandate as a racket type game. One side of the court is inflation and the other side is recession.
If I had been Barrack Obama's adviser when he was young I would have led, guided, pushed or simply threatened him to go to business school instead of law school. I would have told him that it was pretty obvious he was going to be running this country in his later years, and business school might do him better than law school.
Our Federal Government is out of control. I could end this blog right here and most of the readers would give me a loud Amen. Unfortunately we can't afford to be stoic about the mess in Washington.
The biggest lesson in life: set a goal, accomplish it, and get a feeling of satisfaction that nobody can take away! Then set another goal and do it again. That is not only life: that's LIVIN'!
It is so simple it is scary: two moves and you are there. The absolute easiest way for the youth of this country to become wealthy is to be wise enough to listen to someone who has answers.
I suggest you keep the emotions for the important things in life; births, birthdays, graduations, marriages and memorials! When it comes to money try to rely on knowledge and facts.?
The most common definition of a statesman is a person regarded as a disinterested promoter of the public good. I personally like the definition of a statesman as a person who has a bedrock of principles, a moral compass, and a vision with the ability to build a consensus.
Most people need to have the mortgage paid off if they wish to have a comfortable retirement. That, of course, isn't the only way to have a satisfactory retirement but it goes a long way toward insuring a happy one.
If Congress, the Senate and the White House could take a long needed - but unearned - vacation, say five or six years, when they returned unemployment wouldn't be a problem.
The goal of the modern progressive party is equality for all. Does that mean I will be as rich as Bill Gates is now, or does it mean that Bill Gates is heading for an awful drubbing, and will be as "rich" as I am, right now?
I love to kid myself especially when it comes to the lottery. When the big jackpots come around I gather up my coins and have been known to spend up to $3 on tickets. Once I get the tickets I start dreaming of what to do with the prize money.
It seems that the Federal Housing Association never misses a chance to limit the amount of help they had been giving to the American homeowner.
The end of Common Sense in our beloved homeland is going quickly down the drain. It is being replaced by those who can't even spell common sense, let alone practice it.
The only thing we are lacking in this country, besides the collective will, is someone to vocalize our feelings about this government and the way it is being run.
Tax returns and credit scores really haven't any bearing on the transaction. They always look good for employees whether they are at the top of the organization or somewhere near the bottom.
I am not the smartest man in the world but I guarantee you that I could go through the entire federal budget in a matter of months and create an annual budget with a surplus.
While trying to relax after a long day at work I heard the most startling announcement on the news: it is time to try out for the Rose Queen in Pasadena. There were approximately 100 girls and 8 young men who are trying out. Really!

Data collection: How small data points inform the big picture
Big data might be the next frontier in the optimization of materials handling systems, but many companies would settle for some smaller data about their operations. Substantial improvements could be found in the answers to simple questions: Where is it? When was it put there? How long did that take?
The examples here include how one of the largest 3PLs in the world replaced pens and clipboards with radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking technology to cut administrative costs and provide unprecedented visibility into yard operations. Another company used intuitive mobile computers and a new warehouse management system to transition away from a reliance on the "tribal knowledge" of a workforce with an average of 20 years of experience. The third company set out to solve a replenishment accuracy problem, and ended up optimizing its fleet and boosting productivity.
These companies optimized processes around data, improving efficiency, flexibility and visibility. Between the three success stories, the longest implementation time was six months, by which time each company had already begun to realize the benefits of data collection.
RFID streamlines yard management, enhances visibility
Global 3PL replaces paper-based system with removable RFID tags and cloud-based software to double gate throughput.
Rugged mobile computers help weather the economic storm
Following a transition from a paper-based system, one distributor held sales steady at the height of the economic downturn.
Bar code system improves visibility into product and equipment
Distributor trims fleet, moves from 90% replenishment accuracy to 100%.

What are the values taken by Euler's phi function? For example, one can show that $\varphi(n)$ is even for $n \neq 1$ or $2$ by reducing the equality $\displaystyle n= \sum\limits_{d|n} \varphi(d)$ modulo $2$; so $\varphi (\mathbb{N}^*) \subset 2\mathbb{N} \cup \{1\}$ (in fact, strictly included; see for example here).
Do we know exactly $\varphi(\mathbb{N}^*)$?

Let's see, New Delhi, Sydney, Czech Republic, Belgium, Slovenia, Munich, the Ukraine, Kiev, Beijing, Sao Paolo, Santiago, Bogota, Mexico City, Kenya, South Africa, then back to India.
In this conversation we talk about the skills, interests, and concerns of Office developers around the world, and about some of the applications they're creating. And we conclude with a story about a bus accident in Bogota that sounded scarier than it turned out to be.
Oops, something didn't work.

Ever wonder where the least expensive place is to study abroad? Or what the CU student government really does? Or where the quiet study spots are on campus? If you find yourself asking questions like these, the Resolving Door website holds the answers.
The Resolving Door has been a student-run and operated website since 2008. The website enables students to ask questions and get answers about life at CU. Though the topics vary widely, the website organizes them in an easy and efficient way for you to find exactly what you are looking for.
The Resolving Door project offers journalism students the opportunity to learn about the growth of new media technology. For this journalism elective, instructor Daniel Schaefer teaches his students about citizen journalism and how to examine new models of news production and distribution based on the site's content. Two recent website additions aim to help connect students to life on the campus. The "Red Phone" invites students to ask specific questions geared to the CU student government (http://resolvingdoor.com/how-do-i-ring-my-rep). This not only increases student involvement with the leaders on campus, but is also a tool that directs transparent communication between them. Another addition, "CU Crowd Campus Map," draws on students' collective knowledge from Resolving Door answers to tag points of interest on campus (http://resolvingdoor.com/map/crowdsourced-campus-map). Whether you are just beginning your journey at CU or are looking to become better familiarized with the community, the Resolving Door website offers helpful resources for succeeding at CU. It provides students with a voice in both asking and answering questions, making it unique to what CU students really care about.
So, if you're looking for the best place to study, relax, volunteer, or anything in between, the Resolving Door can be a helpful aid in becoming an involved student at CU.

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
Tourists and others headed for points west or south from Durango don�t seem concerned about wildland fires, but they know that the blazes could close highways.
The hot spots are U.S. Highway 160 near Mancos and U.S. Highway 550 south of Bondad. The State Line Fire closed Highway 550 for a short time Saturday.
�Last evening, someone asked about the status of the highway near Mancos,� Johanna Dadisman at the downtown Welcome Center said Sunday. �I referred them to The Durango Herald Twitter page for updates.�
Another person who was passing through suddenly realized there�s a fire and stopped to ask about road conditions on Highway 160, Dadisman said.
�Otherwise, no one has called to ask if the area is safe,� Dadisman said.
Andy Matusek at the Durango Area Tourism Office said she has fielded two inquiries � one about Highway 160 near Mancos, the other about U.S. Highway 550 south of Bondad.
�They just wondered if they could get through,� Matusek said.
Charles Britton at the Visitors Center in Santa Rita Park said a few people have asked if the fire threatens Durango. The answer is �no,� he said.
But, apparently, there�s more than a passing interest in the fires � as judged by the number of drivers who stopped Saturday along highways to rubberneck.
Travelers who stopped Saturday along U.S. Highway 160 to watch air tankers drop slurry on the Weber Fire were a potential hazard, Capt. Martin Petrik, commander of the Colorado State Patrol in Durango, said Sunday.
�It was quite a problem,� Petrik said. �I don�t have numbers, but CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation) put up cones to prevent people from pulling off the highway.�
A CDOT crew Saturday installed electronic signs � �No Stopping or Standing Next Five Miles� � at the Target Tree Campground and just east of Mancos town limits.
�It was a safety issue,� CDOT spokeswoman Nancy Shanks said Sunday.
State troopers didn�t find gawkers along U.S. Highway 550 south of Bondad where the State Line Fire closed the highway at County Road 318, Petrik said.
The southbound lane of Highway 550 at the fire scene was closed, and the northbound lane was configured to handle traffic in both directions, Petrik said.
Shanks said if the Weber Fire closes Highway 160, westbound traffic would be stopped at Cherry Creek Road and eastbound drivers would be stopped at the Mesa Verde National Park interchange.
�There�s been no decision,� Shanks said. �We�ll just wait and see.�

I need to know which view the user sees when he taps the back button.
I have news -> newsDetails and events -> eventsDetails
Edit: Got a solution!
var activePanel = Ext.getCmp('MainTabPanel').getActiveItem(); var activeItem = activePanel.getItemId(); if(activeItem == 'newsList'){ this.filterNewsStore(); Ext.getCmp('showSettingsButton').show(); Ext.getCmp('filterbutton').show(); } if(activeItem == 'eventList'){ this.filterEventsStore(); Ext.getCmp('showSettingsButton').hide(); Ext.getCmp('filterbutton').show(); }
