Subject: Re: [OMPI devel] [OMPI svn] svn:open-mpi r25323
From: George Bosilca (bosilca_at_[hidden])
Date: 2011-10-19 16:50:21
I don't know how you think that the error codes work in Open MPI, so I'll take the liberty to depict it here so we all agree we're talking about the same thing.
The opal_strerror is a nice feature, it allow to register a range of error codes with a particular error converter. Every time you look for the meaning of a particular error code, the first convertor with a range enveloping the looked at value, will translate it into an error string.
This is only currently used by OPAL and ORTE directly. It worked at the OMPI level only because we mapped __all__ OMPI errors to OPAL or ORTE ones. This behavior didn't change after my patch, you can still use opal_strerror to get the error string for all OPAL/ORTE/OMPI errors.
There is a small "variation" for OMPI_ERR_REQUEST, the only really OMPI specific error code today. The OMPI error codes are actually inserted between the OPAL and the ORTE ones (there is a gap of 100 elements), so there is __no__ possible overlap right now. If at one point we add more than 100 OMPI level, we should certainly revisit this.
Now, resulting from my patch, there is a difference. One should not simply forward an ORTE code into the stack of OMPI, and hope it just works. Errors should be dealt with where they happens, and if not possible they should be translated into the actual layer error code. The error propagation should be compartmentalized, and has to be translated into an error code that has a meaning at the OMPI level. The current patch should not prevent the mixed error-code code to work, as opal_strerror retains the same behavior as before. However, this coding practice should be avoided. I tried to clean the current code of such instances few days ago in r25230.
Moreover, this is similar to how we deal with the error codes between OMPI and MPI layers, and seems like a sane way to compose libraries. You deal with a specific layer error code when you get it (usually after the call to a function from that specific layer), not later on when you don't even know exactly what the execution path was.
PS: I'll fix the +/- issue.

Ok I figured out my problem it was with the paging toolbar. I needed to change the toolbar store to use ext.getStore and everything works perfectly now! Thanks for the great Plugin!
bbar: Ext.create('Ext.PagingToolbar', { store: Ext.getStore('mfgCombo'), displayInfo: true, displayMsg: 'Displaying {0} - {1} of {2}', emptyMsg: "No data to display" })

26 Mar 2012 2:53 AM #23
Found a bug
Hey Mac_J,
Lets assume that we have a combo box with queryMode = remote. If I type something in the combo box, it starts fetching the results matching the criteria. Let's assume that this takes a long time to load results. Now before the store is loaded with results, if type something else in the grid, a second request if fired to get the results for the new criteria. If the second request gets the result before the first request then the results are displayed in the grid. Now the problem is when the first request is loaded with results, it clear results displayed from first request and displays the results of the second request in the grid. But while doing this it also clears the contents typed in the combo box. How can we fix this issue? Hoe can we cancel the first request if a second request is initiated?
Please let me know if you need more information.
26 Mar 2012 5:41 AM #24
pls try insert these lines at 198 line of GridComboBox.js. If it works, let me know.
27 Mar 2012 4:02 AM #25
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, it clear the data typed in combo box. How can I avoid it?
27 Mar 2012 4:50 AM #26
Hmm...Can you revert it and try this new one at line 212.
I think typeAheadTask may be canceled too.
I'm busy these weeks, can you test it for me and tell me if it works, Thanks.
if (!me.queryCaching || me.lastQuery !== queryString) {
27 Mar 2012 5:13 AM #27
27 Mar 2012 5:27 AM #28
When I use this extension, I get the following errors:
Chrome via builtin Developer Tools:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object[ has no method 'assertValue'
Firefox via Firebug:
me.assertValue is not a function
This is from GridComboBox.js in function beforeBlur (line 118).
27 Mar 2012 11:09 AM #29
Another issue I'm seeing is that I'm listening for the 'change' event. This works with the regular combobox, but with the gridcombobox, I get the first event, but after that I don't get them anymore. Same with the 'select' event.
27 Mar 2012 11:11 AM #30
I also added the following:
me.gridCfg.border = false;
+ me.gridCfg.store = me.store;
me.grid = Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', me.gridCfg);
to GridComboBoxList.js (line 120) so that I can use my inline defined store, instead of having to predefine it elsewhere.

These are labeled "CoverGirl Queen Vivid Impact Eyeliner Pencils." There were six colors - these four plus a matte black and matte brown (which I found uninspiring/common and therefore did not purchase). I tend to not have super high expectations of CoverGirl because I feel like they aren't keeping up with the times well - while other drugstore brands like Maybelline, NYX, Revlon, and Wet 'n' Wild are putting out high-quality and on-trend products, CoverGirl has been falling behind - but the few Queen line products I've tried have pleasantly surprised me so far, so perhaps Queen is where they're investing their time and money these days.
As an aside, the Queen line is primarily marketed toward women of color and therefore is generally only found in areas with higher populations of darker-skinned women. I am quite fair myself, but from what I can tell, the Queen line appears to offer the best selection of face products for women of darker skin tones available in drugstores today. I believe Iman also offers a similarly broad shade range on the darker spectrum, but in my experience, Iman is harder to find in stores than CoverGirl Queen products.
Anyway! Back to the eyeliners. In short, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality for the most part. I would only rate these four colors a 3 or 4 (out of 5) in terms of pigmentation - some of them require a few swipes for full color coverage, but are buildable - but the lasting power is excellent and on par with plenty of more expensive versions on the market, such as my favorites, Urban Decay's 24/7 line. With that said, I think I have similar shades to each of these colors in my stash already from other brands that I prefer (not for any particular reason aside from my own somewhat random biases), so I may not keep all four colors. If you don't already own similar colors, however, these shades are relatively unique to other drugstore eyeliners on the market of comparable quality so they may be worth checking out!
Here are some swatches for you, with comparisons to those other options. Both sets are indoors with an Ottlite first, followed by outdoors:
Left to right: MAC Sweet Sage Fluidline (discontinued), CoverGirl Queen Gilt Vivid Impact pencil (currently available), Urban Decay Stash 24/7 pencil (currently available), MAC New Weed Fluidline (discontinued), MAC Siahi Fluidline (discontinued), GoverGirl Queen Jade Vivid Impact pencil (currently available), L'Oreal Emerald Extra Intense pencil (discontinued), MAC Undercurrent Pearlglide pencil (discontinued).
Left to right: Laura Mercier Twilight Caviar Stick (currently available but only in a Nordstrom-exclusive set), CoverGirl Queen Amethyst Vivid Impact pencil (currently available), Stila Amethyst Smudge Pot (discontinued), Chanel Illusiore Illusion d'Ombre cream shadow (currently available), Essence Berlin Rocks gel liner (discontinued, I think), Benefit Stiletto Creaseless Cream shadow (currently available), CoverGirl Queen Cabernet Vivid Impact pencil (currently available), Stila Pomegranate Smudge Pot (discontinued).
As a side note: years ago in a previous review, I lambasted Stila Pomegranate Smudge Pot. I think I need to update that review, as I have since become more adventurous and begun to like wearing red, and now I sort of like it. :)
ANYWAY. Whew, I am off on all kinds of tangents today - sorry about that. What do you think? Are you going to be hunting down these colors? If you happen to have been jonesing for the Twilight Caviar Stick but didn't want to buy the $80 set, CoverGirl Amethyst is a not-half-bad alternative, for sure - while not exact, it is undoubtedly the closest dupe to Twilight I have. CoverGirl Cabernet is the reddest PENCIL eyeliner I've found so far anywhere; Gilt is the loveliest olive color I've found so far in the drugstore; and of the teals I compared above, Jade is the only one readily available, so if you love those types of colors but don't already have one of the others it's definitely worth a look.
OK I'M DONE NOW! :) Thank you, if you got this far!

Commencement of natural gas deliveries will coincide with the startup of the plant, which is expected by the end of 2014. This contract will enhance Methanex's ability to reliably supply quality product to its US customers for at least the next 10 years, according to top company officials.
Chesapeake Energy has signed a 10-year agreement
to supply all of the natural gas required for Methanex's 1
million tpy methanol plant in Geismar, Louisiana, the companies
said late Thursday.
Commencement of natural gas deliveries will coincide with the
startup of the plant, which is expected by the end of 2014.
"We are thrilled to have entered into this agreement with
Chesapeake, the second largest natural gas producer in the US,"
said John Floren, president and CEO of
Methanex. "This contract will enhance our ability to
reliably supply quality product to our US customers for at
least the next 10 years."
The upcoming Geismar plant is a relocation project from Chile.
"The agreement is structured so that the natural gas price is
linked to the methanol price, and both Methanex and Chesapeake
will share in the risks and rewards resulting from the changing
price of methanol over the decade of this
contract," added Floren.
"This gas pricing formula, in addition to the capital cost
advantage of relocating a methanol plant as compared to a
new-build facility, enables the project to be profitable across a
broad range of methanol prices."
Floren noted that a 10-year contract in place for 1
million tpy of methanol production reduces the
company's exposure to short-term natural gas price
fluctuations, thereby lowering the natural gas price risk
for the site if the company decides to relocate a
second plant to Louisiana.
Methanex expects to make a decision during the first half of
2013 on whether to proceed with a second relocation project.
"We are excited to support the ongoing revitalization of the
US manufacturing sector through our long-term gas supply
arrangement with Methanex, the world's leading methanol producer," said James
C. Johnson, Chesapeake's senior vice president of
"The unique structure of this transaction provides return
certainty and price diversification for Chesapeake while
providing margin protection and price stability for Methanex.
Furthermore, Methanex's investment and plant relocation to
Louisiana demonstrates the compounding economic and employment
benefits to be derived from the shale gas revolution.
"We believe this is truly a 'win-win' arrangement for both

I'm in Argentina. I'd love to go to new beaches (not in Argentina, in south america) that are good to surf. But the cost must be low, given our cheap currency. I'm talking about costs for staying in some places, the cost of the goods (food, drinks, medical care, etc).
The actual cost of food and drink should not be that much of an issue - subsistence food is relatively cheap everywhere.
In some countries, surf culture includes staying in your camper van, or camping at the beach, so if you do want cheap, the way to go may be to club together with others and buy/hire a van or micro-bus.
Ferrugem in Brazil is popular. Haven't surfed it myself, but worth looking at - seems popular in the global surfing community.
I would recommend globalsurfers.com - they have an up to date interactive map with a forum for discussion.
South America has some amazing beaches to go surfing you might enjoy besides the ones you have in Argentina already. I am not sure what would be 'cheap' for you, you certainly will have the cost of the trip to the destination as one of the most important expenses.
Costa Rica is a good option, although is more Central than South America. You might consider Tamarindo Beach there.
Consider this article (a little bit old) from National Geographic for some interesting options.
Closer to you, you might consider Punta del Este, Uruguay once the peak season is over and the prices go down. There are some cheap Hostels there were you can stay and if you get your food from the supermarkets you will save some money. Also transportation there can be cheap in the off peak season.
Unfortunately the Argentinean Peso is currently undergoing a devaluation so it will be hard to find a place were you will be in a strong position.

The Nets were cruising to a hard-fought victory in regulation when C.J. Watson missed an uncontested dunk with 3:13 remaining that could have given them a 16-point lead. Afterward Carlesimo said the significance of that mistake could not be "overstated."
From there Robinson pushed the Bulls to a 16-2 run by scoring 10 consecutive points and feeding teammate Carlos Boozer for the equalizing bucket.
"That's what Nate's capable of," Carlesimo said. "Nate is one of those guys that can change a game."
Robinson ultimately fouled out in the second overtime, but not before scoring 29 points over his final 15 minutes of action. However, his surge wouldn't have been enough for the Bulls to push the game into overtime had the Nets not been complicit in the matter.
Not only did Watson's miss push the momentum in Chicago's favor, but the Nets also missed four crucial free throws in addition to committing a silly foul as Robinson attempted a 3-pointer.
Now, after allowing 28 points on 20 turnovers, the Nets trail the Bulls 3-1 with the series heading back to Brooklyn where they'll be facing elimination in Monday's Game 5.
"We lost this game," said Nets point guard Deron Williams. "We were up 14 and we made a lot of mistakes."
For Carlesimo, the loss was particularly devastating as he's working to keep his position beyond this season. The Nets were 14-14 when they fired coach Avery Johnson and promoted Carlesimo, who went 39-15 over the remainder of the regular season. The franchise recently gave a contract extension to general manager Billy King, but that doesn't guarantee Carlesimo will be retained
If the Nets were "a little agitated" before Game 4, as Carlesimo said in his pregame news conference, they were positively furious after the opening tip.
Watson caught Bulls guard Nate Robinson with an elbow in the second quarter, igniting a shoving match that resulted in double technical fouls. Gerald Wallace came back from an ankle injury in the third quarter to deliver a violent screen in the fourth that left Robinson prostrated on the United Center floor.
Wallace and Boozer also drew double technicals with two minutes left in regulation. Ultimately Wallace fouled out, but the aggression was mutual. 62 personals were called in the game while five players were disqualified on fouls.
"I started off as a kid playing football," Robinson said, "so those plays just get you fired up."
There were positives for the Nets on Saturday, such as a 49.5% shooting mark from the field after they made just 35% of their field goals in their Game 3 loss. The Nets even got a surprising contribution from forwards Wallace and Reggie Evans, who finished with a total of 32 points and 22 rebounds after combining for just 30 points over the first three games.
"We pushed the ball," Carlesimo said. "I thought we got into our sets better. We moved the ball from side to side. We made some shots. A to Z. We got more offensive rebounds. For two teams that are supposed to be pretty good defensive teams, by what we give up a game, it was a shootout."
Joe Johnson, who hit four game-winning shots during the regular season, delivered another clutch performance. The Nets shooting guard scored 11 crucial points over the final 27 minutes of play, helping to force a second and third overtime. Williams had 32 points and 11 assists while center Brook Lopez—who capped a 29-18 third-quarter run with his first professional 3-pointer—had 26 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks.
Now the challenge for the Nets is to respond in Game 5 after suffering such a physical and mental toll on Saturday.
Johnson played 48 minutes on a bad foot and Williams, whose injuries were too numerous for Carlesimo to name, played nearly 58 minutes.
"It's going to be tough," Williams said of winning three straight games. "I feel like we can do it. One game at a time is what it takes. Worry about Monday."

Total Cost Involved IFS for '50s Chevy Pickups - Gain Your IndependenceWritten by on June 29, 2012 Contributors: Wes Drelleshak
A week or so ago I heard that the guys from Total Cost Involved Engineering were going to be installing (and videotaping) one of their '55 to '59 Chevy coilover IFS systems right here in our Source Interlink Tech Center. It's not often an opportunity for us to chronicle a complete install a mere 100 feet from the comfort of our offices presents itself, so pulling rank, I asked Wes to hang out in the Tech Center that day and photograph the installation from start to finish so we could show the process to you here in the pages of CT.
As most classic truckers are aware, TCI manufactures a variety of super-high-quality classic truck suspension and steering systems, and it's always interesting and informative to see one installed in a start-to-finish scenario. The subject here is a '55 Chevy and the system used is TCI's 1955 to 1959 Chevy Truck Custom Coilover Independent Suspension System. You may recall that this is the very system I chose to use on my own '57 chassis. I chose the TCI IFS setup because my years of using the company's wares on nearly all of my street rod and classic pickup projects have been trouble-free and have offered easy installation and great handling after the fact. Aside from being designed and manufactured right here in the good ol' U.S. of A., the Custom Coilover Independent Suspension system also offers superb craftsmanship, from the 1-inch-diameter TIG-welded upper tubular control arms to the 11⁄8-inch TIG-welded tubular lower control arms and engineered crossmember assemblies fitted with adjustable stainless steel concentrics for quick and easy caster/camber adjustments. The whole IFS package is a great example of the company's focus on superior quality and workmanship.
So, rather than blabbering on and on, let's get to it and take a look at the step-by-step installation performed right here in our Tech Center. Oh, and by the way, you'll be able to use the QR code found in this article to view a video version of this install as well. CT
With the installation complete, all that was left was to set the truck's ride height, camber, caster, and toe-in. The ride height is ideally set with the wheels and tires mounted and the engine and trans in place so the truck's full weight is on the suspension. The lower control arms should be horizontal and the distance between the centers of the top and bottom coilover mounting bolts should be close to 12¼ inches. Camber is set by rotating the eccentrics by inserting the supplied tool into the hole on the side of the eccentrics, rotating them until camber is at 0 degrees at ride height. With the set screws in the eccentric housings still loose, caster is adjusted and set by sliding the eccentrics for or aft within the housings. The caster was set to between 1 and 1½ inches positive, making sure both left and right sides were set the same. If/when all is well, the set screws are tightened to lock in the caster and camber settings. Toe-in is then adjusted by adjusting the tie rod ends on the rack-and-pinion steering gear. Toe-in should be set at 1⁄16 inch. And that's all there is to it. When I did the install on my '57, the job, start to finish, took me the better part of a Saturday, and as I've said many times in the past, if I can do it, anyone can.

The first thing anyone should do before working underneath a vehicle of any kind is to make sure it's safely supported by a stout set of jackstands and (if only lifted at one end) the wheels blocked so the vehicle will not move.As you can plainly see, the subject of this particular installation had been stripped of its engine, transmission, and front sheetmetal, making the installation and photography a bit less cumbersome.In order to begin the installation, a bit of deconstruction came first. The existing OEM axle and suspension had to be removed to make way for the new components.Once the front suspension was out of the way, the framerails were prepped by scraping away any undercoating and/or road grime that accumulated on the front frame section over the years. Once cleaned up as best a scraper and a wire brush were able, a grinding disc was then utilized to clean up the rail edges and surfaces in preparation for a bit of welding.The kit includes a pair of pre-cut boxing plates (specifically designed for the appropriate make, year, and model truck one is modifying) to not only reinforce the front rails, but to provide a good stable surface for the new IFS crossmember assembly.Once the boxing plates are held in place, you'll find that the framerails are not equal widths top and bottom. As you can see, the lower surfaces are wider at the forward edge where they arch inward to provide a bit of extra meat for the OEM crossmember mounting area. A line was scribed (or drawn) on the lower rail surface where the boxing plate lower edge falls when held vertically from the edge of the upper rail edge. The lower rail edges were then trimmed along the mark so the boxing plates could be welded into place forming a true rectangular channel on either side of the new IFS crossmember mounting area.Once the upper edges of the boxing plates were tack-welded in place, a straight edge and a square were used to make sure the plates were perfectly vertical before (or while) tacking the lower edges of the plates to the rails.The boxed framerails must be equal distances apart (left to right, top to bottom) so the new crossmember would slide snuggly and squarely between the left and right rails.With the rails boxed, the next step was to measure for correct crossmember location. In the case of the Chevrolet pickup, the centerline mounting point of the IFS crossmember was found by measuring 207⁄8 inches from the centerline of the front leaf spring mounting holes rearward (on both the left and right framerails of course). That measurement would be the centerline location of the new crossmember.
The crossmember was then slid down between the framerails and its centerlines matched to the scribed lines on the rails. After rechecking that, the crossmember was positioned correctly and checked by measuring both the wheelbase dimension and diagonally for squareness, it was tack-welded in place.Once the crossmember was installed and finish-welded, removal of the OEM front crossmember began. Removal can be accomplished in a variety of methods, the best being the removal of the factory rivets versus cutting it out with a torch or plasma cutter. Grinding, drilling, and/or driving out the rivets makes for a much cleaner, more professional finished product and also negates the possibility of heat-related warping of the frame.Once it was determined that the crossmember positioning was correct, the balance of welding could be completed. It's important that the welding be done in rather short beads and that measurements are made as you go. This ensures that any heat-related movement or warpage is nonexistent or at least very minimal.Since the IFS setup was going to lower the frontend of the truck, it's a smart idea to cut a pair of C-notches in either side of the lower framerail surfaces. Here you can see the new rack-and-pinion held in place so the location of the C-notches could be determined.With the notches cut, filler plates were fashioned from either sheet, steel bent into half circles or from sections of appropriate-sized tubing, and welded into place to retain the rails' strength.A bit of time spent with a grinder cleaned up the welds and smoothed the edges of the C-notches so they blended into the rails cleanly.With the crossmember in place and the frame notches complete, the next step was installation of the anti-sway bar. Anti-sway bar installation is straightforward. The bar was held in place by a pair of machined aluminum blocks fitted with bushings and keepers.
With the lower control arms in place the anti-sway bar was then connected to the control arms using the Heim-style adjustable anti-sway bar links.Once the anti-sway bar was attached to both of the lower control arms and both links were equally adjusted, the next step was to install the system's All American coilover shocks. TCI's All American coilovers are constructed of billet aluminum and ASTM A-401 quality steel coil springs are equipped with ride-height adjustability and 16-way ride comfort capability.After the lower control arms and coilovers were installed, the next item on the agenda was to slide the stainless eccentrics into the round housing tubes at the top of the new IFS crossmember. With the eccentrics centered in the crossmember, the four set screws were then started into the threaded bungs on each side of the eccentric housing tubes (we did not tighten them at this point).The rack-and-pinion steering gear was the next component to be installed on the new IFS crossmember (by the way, TCI offers either manual or power rack-and-pinions).With the control arms and rack-and-pinion bolted in place, it was on to mounting the spindle/brake assemblies.One of the great things about the TCI conversion is that the assemblies have been assembled in advance, so all one needs to do is grab the correct assembly (there is a specific right and left) and mount 'em to the control arms via the upper and lower ball joint studs.As stated earlier, the TCI spindle/brake assemblies come completely preassembled and are equipped with hi-temp bearing assemblies, stock height or 2-inch dropped spindles, brand-new big-bore calipers, and new 11-inch rotors for maximum braking.
Next, the tie rod ends were connected to the steering rack extensions (don't forget the jamb nuts) and the rod ends to the spindle steering arms.

I have canon 500D with 18-55mm and 70-300mm lens. I have lot of interest in landscape and Nature photography. I need to purchase some software to assist me with post-processing my photos. Which one is better for landscape and nature photography. Will Photoshop or Lightroom do, or are there any other tools better suited to processing this type of photography?
Photoshop and Lightroom are photography tools, not Landscape photography tools or Portrait Photography tools, etc. Either will do fine for Landscape photography. Each tool has different strengths and weaknesses; many pros use both tools since they each excel in different areas.
To decide which tool you need requires you to determine what you want to do with your digital darkroom? Do you need digital asset management? Do you make basic corrections such as brightness, whitebalance, perhaps curves? Do you frequently make use of filters, find you need to dodge and burn or mask out objects or sections of images? Do you work with RAW or just JPEG? Do you frequently print or do you send your images out for reproduction? Are printer profiles and proofing important to you?
By the way, here are my answers if you asked these questions above: (L=Lightroom, PS=Photoshop): L,L,PS,L,L or PS, PS.
As mentioned by cmason, it isn't really about the type of photography -- but more your needs in post production.
Lightroom provides assistance with managing, retouching and sharing images. It is designed around a RAW workflow, I'm not sure how well it works with a JPEG workflow. Lightroom also has a non-destructive workflow, any edits inside of Lightroom can always be reversed or changed.
Photoshop knows nothing about managing and sharing (without the help of Bridge), but is very, very good at general image manipulation -- all the way from toning to building an image from scratch. The image format is irrelevant, it can open and work with formats you will probably never see in the wild. It allows you to do anything, even things that you probably shouldn't and it is easy to make destructive edits.
Because Lightroom is less expensive and assists with managing and sharing, I tend to suggest that photographers get it first. If they find themselves limited by Lightroom's retouching tools, Photoshop works very well with Lightroom.
My standard response is 'use them both and decide which one you like more', and both do have demos available you can try and then pick.
However, in this circumstance I'm actually going to say that for a landscape/nature photographer you might be best with Lightroom (please feel free to disagree with me in the comments). I've used both tools for about 10 months, and I use them both for very different reasons, however I've found that 95% of the time I work on a landscape photo all I'm doing is very minor adjusts to colour tones, contrast levels and the like rather than any heavy editing and that's where Lightroom shines.
The other side of the coin is as soon as you want to push past to more heavy editing you'll find Lightroom quite limited, which means dipping your toe into the waters of Photoshop. Both have their merits, but heavy editing is usually done less on landscapes (or at least, I should say on my landscapes), and Photoshop has gotten to a stage where the simple things aren't always as simple.
Increasingly you can do in lightroom what used to require photoshop. Lightroom is a lot less expensive than Photoshop. I doubt many photographers need more than Lightroom, or Lightroom and a few plug-ins. Or perhaps Lightroom and Photoshop ELEMENTs.
My recommendation: buy Lightroom. Don't consider buying Photoshop until you hit something that you can't do without it. When you hit that point, try the elements demo and see if it'll do it. If so, you still don't need Photoshop.
Remember, it's not "Lightroom" or "photoshop". Given the cost of Photoshop, it's "lightroom and these other toys" or "photoshop". And most photographers that have taken up Lightroom and worked at learning how to use it rarely seem to use photoshop much; most of the "photoshop centric" photographers I know are that way because they were doing all of this before Lightroom existed and that's where they're comfortable.
As far as I'm concernered, there's no reason to START with Photoshop any more. Start with Lightroom, and then decide when you hit needs that it can't do and figure out what tool will solve that need. Chances are, you'll never need photoshop to solve it.
Photoshop can do a lot that Lightroom cannot. Where Lightroom can make adjustments to your photo (e.g. adjusting contrast, sturation, brightness, etc), Photoshop can also do a lot of manipulation, e.g. removing, adding elements to photos, combining photos in new interesting ways. Quite a lot of the functionality that Photoshop provides is something that the average landscape photographer isn't concerned with, as they just want to portray reality as they saw it when they took the photo, and for this the adjustments that Lightroom supports is often sufficient. Also, nature and landscape photo competitions often forbid the use of photo manipulation, but adjustments are allowed.
So if your primary concern is Landscape, then Photoshop does probably not offer a lot of extra functionality that you would require. HDR is probably one thing that you could use. But you could get dedicated HDR software for a fraction of the price of Photoshop.
You could also try checking out Capture One, or (if you're on a Mac) Apple Aperture. Both are alternatives to Lightroom.
Photoshop and Lightroom do work hand in hand together. Lightroom is easier to master compared to Photoshop, as Photoshop has many more tools and functions. But both software tools serve different purposes. So you need both
I have found that photoshop processed using a Apple Mac monitor has more accurate color than other brands of monitors.

I have seen questions on StackOverflow that sometimes scare me and usually involve money. Every once in a while someone comes along and ask question about how can I implement this bank system, or I have a project for [insert critical task here] and I need to know where to start. I know there is not much we can do about this situation and a lot of these post get closed anyway, but what if that person is really working at a local bank in your area? Obviously we should strongly discourage them from continuing on with the project but maybe have some point of reference to point them to to help discourage them from taking on the project until they grasp the skill set required? I think I would be able to rest easier knowing that someone who asked such a question decided not to take the project because they get valid answer with references before the post is closed. I would like to point out not all questions are bad because some of the posters actually have basic security knowledge and are doing research plus everyone has to start somewhere.
This would worry me
implementation of bank management system
This is not bad

6 Things From History Everyone Pictures Incorrectly
It's a running theme here at Cracked that a lot of what we think we know about history has been filtered through many centuries of utter bullshit. Our image of the past is largely made up of Hollywood inventions, propaganda and uneducated guesses.
So you will probably be surprised to find that...
Note: We don't want to be cruel, but your life is pretty much the most boring life that could possibly exist. First off, you probably won't ever see the apocalypse, and if you do, it won't be anything like the movies have taught you. Second, there are millions of awesome horror movies happening all around you, all the time, but your eyes literally can't even perceive them. Third, and perhaps worst of all, Adam Sandler movies have gotten really bad.
No, if you want adventure, the only reliable place to look for it is in the past -- only you've got all that shit wrong, too! As this Cracked Classic shows, the past was way more awesome than movies like Stargate, Jurassic Park and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure would have ever dared to show us.
#6. The Pyramids Were Smooth, White and Shiny
The Perception:
We get so busy being amazed by the Pyramids, with their massive, meticulously layered sandy golden bricks, that we forget that what we're seeing are the broken-down remnants. If you could see them new, you'd barely recognize them. They were much more awesome back then.
The Reality:
What we think of today as the Pyramids are really just the exposed layers of the structural base. The original pyramids lit up like the Times Square of ancient Egypt. Egyptians were all about having the maximum amount of glittery goodness, especially when it came to death.
Pharaohs liked tacky shit? We would have never guessed.
And since the Pyramids were the tombs of the pharaohs, they made sure they were the biggest, most sparkly things of all. The original outside consisted of smooth, white limestone that hid the layers of brick, giving the effect that a pyramid was one giant solid piece. Don't take our word for it; you can still see bits of that decorative layer on some of them:
That outer crunchy candy shell was then polished until it was on the verge of blinding from all the light it would reflect from the sun or moon. It was said that they could be seen from miles away, even during the night.
Of course that wasn't enough, so the capstone was then plated in gold or electrum. Had the technology existed, we're sure the pharaohs would have stuck 24-inch chrome rims on them, too.
Why We Picture it Wrong:
What we're looking at today are the equivalent of sports cars that have been long forgotten in some junkyard.
Weather and time have been beating down the pyramids for four and a half thousand years. Well, partly it was time, but mostly it was assholes. Those shiny layers of white and gold? They were stripped off and used in the construction of Medieval Cairo, and there are cracks and holes where 19th century treasure hunters tried to get in with pickaxes and in one unfortunate case, dynamite.
Oh don't worry about it looters, those were only the greatest architectural accomplishments of the Ancient World. We're sure what you needed the stuff for was way more important.

With the online application system, units have access to a large database of applicants. Before considering advertising for an open job, first check the online application database for potential applicants. This can help save unnecessary recruitment advertising expenses.
It is University policy that recruitment advertisements in newspapers, journals, and web sites must be placed through the Office of Talent, Learning and Organizational Development. The Office of Talent, Learning and Organizational Development can help to write the advertisement for an open position and determine recruiting strategies to help recruit a diverse pool of qualified applicants. Costs for advertisements are normally charged to the account of the hiring department. As part of NYU's commitment to expanding an already diverse employee population, the Office of Talent, Learning and Organizational Development maintains a listing of publications that have wide minority readership—supervisors may want to consider advertising an open position in one of these publications.
When a search firm is needed to recruit for an open position, the HR Officer must contact the Office of Talent, Learning and Organizational Development to obtain a list of search firms the University has a signed contractual agreement with, and may only engage a search firm from this list.
Search firm fees are paid by the department conducting the search and are generally based on a percentage of a candidate's annual salary, if hired. Fees usually include a 90-day guarantee period. In general, if the employee resigns or is terminated during this period, the fee will be waived.

Atrial Fibrillation Health Center
Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Disease
In this article
How Are Medications Used to Treat Atrial Fibrillation? continued...
Until recently, the only anticoagulant approved by the FDA for AF was warfarin. While warfarin is highly effective and relatively inexpensive, there are problems associated with its use. For instance:
- Someone taking warfarin needs regular blood tests to adjust the dosage based on the way the blood clots.
- Proper dosage depends on a number of factors such as body size and age.
- Warfarin interacts with a wide range of foods as well as other drugs. So people taking warfarin need to make adjustments in their diet and have to be careful about what other medications they take.
Dabigatran (Pradaxa) is approved by the FDA to treat AF. Studies show it's at least as effective as warfarin at preventing strokes and perhaps even more effective at higher dosages.
The main advantage of dabigatran is that it works in a different way than warfarin does. As a result, it does not have the same kind of problems that are associated with warfarin. For example:
- People do not need to have regular blood tests to determine whether the dosage needs adjustment.
- There are no dietary changes required.
- Dabigatran does not interact with a large number of drugs the way warfarin does.
The differences between the two drugs may make dabigatran an attractive alternative for people who have difficulty taking warfarin. But there are also issues associated with the use of dabigatran that need to be considered. For example:
- Cost may be the biggest issue. Because it is only available as a brand-name drug, dabigatran is significantly more expensive than warfarin, which can be bought as a generic.
- In some studies, the higher dosage that produced greater protection against stroke also increased the risk of heart attack.
- The drug may not be appropriate for someone with kidney problems without regularly monitoring its effect on kidney function.
- Dabigatran produces more stomach pain and upset than warfarin.
Both dabigatran and warfarin carry a risk of serious bleeding. So if you take either medication, be sure to discuss the risks with your doctor and to follow the doctor's instructions for taking it.

You can check out the following wikipedia web page. It is a list of mathematical symbols and the associated $\LaTeX$ codes.
However I feel that in order for one to be truly accustomed to notation, you should read mathematics and try and figure out the notation as you go along. Gradually after a while you will build up a knowledge base of what certain symbols mean/ which conventions are employed.
If you'd like an inexpensive, handy reference to mathematical notation please check out my book available at Amazon:
If you find it useful, please give it a thumbs up on its Facebook page.
From your link, it looks like the stuff that is troubling you is related to vectors and linear algebra type notation. The best way to learn this stuff is from a general calculus book (up through multi-variable calculus). It really depends more on what you're getting stuck on. I agree with Benjamin, the best way to learn is by reading math and DOING math, because it's important to intuitively understand the symbols and what they represent. A good place to start might be the Stewart book, which covers Calc I, II and III.
After that, you'll want to start learning the algebraic notation which mostly comes from set theory and logic, so a book like this might help (this is just sort of a shot in the dark, I don't personally know anything about this book, but something like this). Much of this stuff you can probably find in books at a book store like Borders. Also, just Google things like "standard math notation, matrices" or something. There's lots of info online.

Despite the constant reminder of Kentucky's growing issue with obesity, the Commonwealth may not be in as bad of shape as you expect.
According to a recent survey conducted by MapMyFITNESS, a company that operates a suite of social wellness-oriented websites and associated mobile and tablet applications, the city of Louisville has been named the "Fittest of the Fit" in the nation; Kentucky ranked third overall compared to other U.S. states.
The "Fittest of the Fit" ranking was determined over a 13-month period ending in April of 2012, and calculated the fitness activities of 1.7 million active MapMyFITNESS community members in more than 2,500 cities nationwide. The finding is based on the self-reported runs, bike rides, walks, gym sessions and other calorie-burning activities recorded by those who use either the website or one of its smartphone apps, such as MapMyRUN or MapMyRIDE.
"There is a bias of the data – obviously users of the system," said Robin Thurston, co-founder and chief product officer of MapMyFITNESS.com. "It's actual activity, so we look at all of the hundreds of different activities. BMI and all of that data is used to determine essentially the qualified audience."
The "Fittest of the Fit" survey took into account Louisville's population size, total number of MapMyFITNESS users, the combined overweight BMI and obese BMI percentages of the city, and a proprietary MapMyFITNESS index based on the location's activity level, percentage population engagement and other factors. The higher the activity index in relation to another location, the more fit (and active) that location was considered.
"Clearly, we have many stiff challenges including the rates of obesity, heart disease and smoking," said Mayor Greg Fischer, in regard to the recent survey. "However, as this ranking indicates, a growing number of our citizens want to be active, whether it's running in a 10K or mini-marathon, walking or canoeing and kayaking which are becoming very popular. We're certainly working to encourage exercise and activity with events like the Hike, Bike & Paddle, the new Paddle for Hunger and improvements to our parks, roads and trails – including the 100-mile Louisville Loop – that make it easier for people to get out and be fit."
One Louisville resident active in the area's fitness scene is enthusiastic about the new positive spin on Louisville's health. Michael Shull, an attorney with Frost, Brown, Todd and frequent user of MapMyRUN, used the app to train for the Kentucky Derby Festival marathon and a few half-marathons. Coming across Louisville's ranking as the "Fittest of the Fit" on the MapMyFITNESS website, he was sceptical at first, but after some fact-checking realized the huge implication for the city.
"Every time you ever see any study for obesity, they always slam us," said Shull. "I went down through the rankings and we were legitimately number one. If you're going to publicize every negative study, at least (publicize one positive one). They're not ignoring the fact that most people could lose a few pounds, they're just saying, we're also very active and the activity sort of, no pun intended, outweighs obesity and the overweight (statistics)."
Shull, like many of the MapMyFITNESS users, utlilizes the MapMyRUN smartphone app to track exercise. With a built-in global positioning device (GPS) on the phone, the app is able to trace a user's route and log information such as estimated calories burned and distance traveled. For only $2.99, it provides the same type of information you'd obtain from a $200 running or cycling watch.
While Kentucky's prevalence of obesity is still an issue at hand, the latest survey on the nation's fitness implies that much of the Commonwealth's population is making an effort to combat the disease. It's also an excellent reminder of Louisville's growing commitment to hosting a variety of health-related activities around town and the number of local athletes who've helped Louisville land the title of "Fittest of the Fit."
"You have a Louisvillian (Wesley Korir) who just won the Boston Marathon," Shull said. "That's the world's most prestigious long distance race. Louisville just hosted the World Cyclo-Cross Championship, the USA Cycling time trials, and each year we host one of only nine Ironman Triathlons in the USA. The support from the community for running and cycling is there. We just need to keep scheduling bigger events and increasing trail volume to maintain the interest and momentum."

text: I don't know what to say about this lesson that is going to be on "how to draw a Dragon Ball", step by step. What is a Dragon Ball anyway? A Dragon Ball is a one of seven mystical balls that have the power to summon a wish granting dragon known as a Shenron. All the dragon balls need to be collected in order to cast forth Shenron. Shenron is a dragon that will cast one wish when all seven Dragon Balls are collected. Now a ball has a specific label on what number ball it is which is represented by stars. For example, the first Dragon Ball will have a single star marking, and so on and so forth. You will be drawing the Dragon Ball with four stars on it which means this is the fourth ball. Anyways, there really isn't anything more to say because that is basically what these balls do. The lesson is pretty mindless because all you are doing is drawing a circle, and adding four stars. I do hope you like this tutorial because I know how many of you are big time fans of DBZ, and I also know how you all love learning how to draw new things. Adios people and have fun drawing a dragon ball.

I've been using Biopython since January 2009, starting in grad school at my lab at the University of Georgia. I take an interest in the genetics, evolution and mechanisms of regulatory proteins, mainly.
For Google Summer of Code 2009, I wrote the Phylo module to initially support the PhyloXML format, and later generalized it to support multiple formats (inspired by SeqIO and AlignIO). I'm planning to extend these modules to support more formats and basic operations as research demands.

Is there a way in Windows XP to search for a particular file containing the word "jack_user" inside multiple directories with multiple files?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Sep 23 '11 at 3:48
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
You want to use the Windows search engine?
In this window you can set the word "jack_user" in "A word or phrase in the file: " and you can select the root folder in "Look in" combo box:
I'd use findstr as follows:
You can use Microsoft Windows Search SDK
I believe your best bet is to use the windows sdk for search functionality
Yes, you can. When you search for a file you can supply some certain text that should be contained within the files' content. And you can also provide which directory it should be searching in and also if it should go through all subdirectories.
The only problem is, that the Windows search only searches within files of certain types (listed here). It might not find what you are looking for.
There are some tools out there, that search within EVERY file. Google hits up some results.
If you want to do it programmatically, you can use the Search API, although I am not sure if it has the same limititations. If it does you probably will have to open every file you come across and check the contents with a regular expression.
With a GUI in XP I would use "Lookdisk" because it is freeware, and i understand how to use it. It will search internally in everything you ask it to, which can take a long time, and come up with false positives too depending on the complexity. For me it was better than all the misses from other tools.
When searching more complex stuff like "text" in programs/exe, I can use the "text to hex", and put the complimentary 00s in it also, to find where a exe or dlls internal text items came from. There has not been anything that i could not search for, no mater where it was or how it was. also will show the line numbers and that kinda stuff.
call me lasy, but i can send it out gleening through internals for something, taking so long that i just ignore it and come back to it. but it beats trying to see "the matrix" :-)
If you have access to PowerShell I would use Get-Content
I use Wingrep, a port of the Linux tool. It works nicely and gives you the line number and file name.

Hello everyone. This is my first post.
I am working with Nodal Ninja 2 Head and I will soon upgrade my gear to NN5. Its light its fast and I love it!!
I work on spherical panoramas and I use canon 400D and sigma 10-20mm lens. Job is getting better and better and I need to make "fast" panoramas!
My lens settings are always 10mm but I need several pictures to cover the 360 spherical panorama and I am looking for a much "wider" lens so I need to take less shots. Searching I discover Tokina 10-17mm lens witch I must say impressed me.
You think is a good decision to buy the Tokina lens or its better to get an 8mm fisheye?

Work thou for pleasure, paint or sing or carve.

Who works for money coins his very soul
Work for the work's sake, then, and it may be,
That this thing shall be added unto thee.

Drag&drop hbox layout panels
I have framed panels on a page. Some of them are in hbox layout, and others contains text as you see on the following image:
I have to drag and drop all of these items, so the whole columns (title+body), the container of the two columns, the panels containing text etc...
I have serious problems with that. I made drag and drop zones, and registered the items, but I didn't find out how to drag/drop the container of the column which have hbox layout, and how to drag/drop the title and the body of the columns simultaneously.
With the hbox I tried so, but nothing happened:
Ext.dd.Registry.register(columnPanel.layout.container.body.dom); //body Ext.dd.Registry.register(columnPanel.header.dom); //title
With the text this worked:
Can anybody help me?
(If you can solve this problem with similar view, then it's good for me too. I'm using hbox layout, because the columns have a relative size like the flex number. Oszlop_30, has flex: 3.0, oszlop_20 has flex: 2.0 and oszlop_10 has flex: 1.0. I tried to make this with simple html, but I had lot of problems with counting the container width from columns padding,margin and border pixels. I tried to do this with float: left...)

12/5/2012 23:57:04 until
12/6/2012 0:03:17 would be in the first bin,

I'm writing a linear algebra exam next week and it's come to my attention that the prof that designed the test uses a different convention for complex inner product than the one my prof taught me.
I learned that the complex inner product is linear in the second argument and conjugate linear in the first, ie: $$i \langle v, w\rangle = \langle v, iw\rangle = \langle -iv, w\rangle$$
The prof's version is linear in the first argument: $$i\langle v, w\rangle = \langle iv, w\rangle = \langle v, -iw\rangle$$
I understand it's just a matter of convention and that two vectors that are orthogonal under one convention are also orthogonal in the other.
But for the purposes of the exam, does this have any affect on formulae?
For example, projection of $v$ onto $w$ is $\langle v, w\rangle w/\langle w, w\rangle$ the way I learned it. If I'm using the prof's version do I need to flip it to get the answer they're expecting?

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
The destroyer Campbeltown is not only famous for her part in the commando raid on the St. Nazaire dry dock in 1942, but is also representative of an important type. Built as the USS Buchanan (DD131), she was one of over 270 flush-decked destroyers put into service towards the end of World War I. Sent to Great Britain under the Lend-Lease program and renamed Campbeltown, she spent eighteen arduous months on convoy duty, before being selected for a hazardous mission to deny the Nazi warship Tirpitz the use of repair facilities at the French port of St. Nazaire. During the desperate but successful operation, the Campbeltown rammed the port's lock gates. Eleven hours later, delayed action fuses set off four-tons of explosives that destroyed both the ship and the docks. Over 200 perspective and 3-view drawings accompany the in-depth description of this distinguished ship along with a large-scale plan on the jacket cover's reverse that is new with this reprint.

AN.Controller.startSceneById no longer recognized in version 1.3
Hey, I am using this animator for half of my project and the other half I'm writing by hand. I need to tie into the controller to tell it which scene to go to directly from the page select screen I made. I had this working perfectly in in version 1.2 but last night I upgraded to 1.3 (build 171)and everything that used the AN.Controller broke and throws the error "Object has no method 'startSceneById'"
This confuses me as I've looked at the new controller object and it should still return that method correctly. Any help on how to get startSceneById() working correctly would be greatly appreciated
5 Jul 2012 8:22 AM #2
Yeah, there is a slight change. The AN.Controller is a "class" that is instantiated into separate objects that are the actual controller(s). To tie into your existing code you could for example try either of these approaches
1) Set the project property panel -> actions -> start action to store the controller in a global variable e.g.
"myController = controller;"
Then you can access the controller from the global "myController" object.
2) If you load your js before the animation js loaded, you could add a method for connection e.g
"yourFramework.setController(controller)" in the same project start action method.
7 Jul 2012 8:08 AM #3
Thanks for the reply
Thanks for the speedy response. I just got a chance to read it and I'm sort of confused. I've gotten the controller in a global variable already. When I reference it by myController.startSceneById(''), I am told startSceneById('') isn't a method of the myController object. I have looked at the code and that method should still be valid as myController should be returning the whole AN.Controller.
I guess my question should of been, what is the new syntax for calling controller.startSceneById('').
If there are any other ways I can dictate which scene is started by an ID number, that'd be great also .
Thanks for your time
8 Jul 2012 12:43 AM #4
The syntax should be the same. The difference is that AN.Controller used to be the controller itself, now it is just the "template" for new controllers.
Make sure that in your project start action you have set
"myController = controller;"
since the "controller" is the actual instance of the controller.
and not
"myController = AN.Controller;"
I tried this and I could call
"myController.startSceneByID(..)" without problems.
Another issue could be that you are trying to call the controller before it is loaded?
8 Jul 2012 7:11 PM #5
I was setting my global variable to controller but not getting an error that it didn't exist. I moved where I set my variable to the bottom of the setTimeout that sets the config data for the controller and that seemed to do it. Most likely I was setting it before controller loaded. Thanks a lot for your help!
