GMC Acadia 2013
It seems that General Motors has found the 2012 Chicago Auto Show to be the best place to uncloak the cars it has veiled for long. The auto show witnessed the showcasing of a fully refreshed General Motors manufactured 2013 GMC Acadia. The designing brains behind the model seem to have carried out a series of redoes on the herculean crossover utility vehicle to finally fabricate the vehicle to the form in which it has been presented in the auto show. These included new front variance, headlight details and new interior features as well.

I preach a simple gospel: Think about the long-term. Don't trust Wall Street, your government or your employer to take care of you.
The world is an increasingly complicated place, but one rule has held true for centuries: People who have financial security control the destiny of the people who don't.
As the late John Savage, a frequent speaker at the Million Dollar Round Table, said, "Spenders in the world always work for savers. It never happens the other way around."
The rich get richer for many reasons, but one is that they take a long-term view about their money.
I was flipping though the news channels when I heard a guest demand that we not give tax rebates to poor people. "Rich people accumulate wealth. Poor people accumulate things," he said.
He had a trickle up theory of economics. He believed that poor people will go on wild spending sprees. The money will burn a hole in a poor person's pocket, while wealthy people would sock it away.
Most poor people need their income just to survive, but there are many who are broke because they don't handle money well.
There is a financial dividing line that separates savers and spenders. The savers wind up with wealth and the spenders wind up with debt. People on their way to wealth have good savings habits. People living beyond their means blow money on stuff they don't need.
When I was growing up, I used to think some people didn't have good jobs. They lived in rundown houses and often had their cars repossessed. I found out that they made as much money as my parents. Sometimes more. The people who lived in rundown houses spent money on gadgets they didn't use and motorboats that never made it in the water. They lent money to "family and friends" even though they should have been paying their own bills first. They had no sense of long-term planning and ultimately had no money.
Spending beyond your means is an addiction. A spending addiction is probably as hard to cure as a drug addiction. It requires changing lifestyles.
There is going to be a day when it all hits the fan. Americans are competing against workers in countries like China who have great savings habits.
Some argue that blowing money is a form of "financial freedom." I hate the J.G. Wentworth commercial where people are screaming "It's my money and I want it now." I have an obvious bias. I am in the business of setting up structured settlements for injured people. Wentworth is in the business of ripping them apart. Wentworth has an easy task. All they have to do is get people to focus on the immediate and forget about the future. I try to get them to focus on the long-term.
Wentworth and I have a different view of "financial freedom." Wentworth's idea of financial freedom is that you can get your hands on a wad of money and spend it immediately.
To me, real freedom means stability, security and independence. It means never running out of money. It means never having to work at a job you hate, because you can't afford to quit. It means never becoming a slave to your creditors.
In short, it means having control and stability in your life.
That is what real financial freedom is about.
Our grandparents didn't have access to quick money. Debt absolutely frightened them. Maybe we should be frightened, too.
As Joe Nocera pointed out in "A Piece of the Action," his classic history of personal finance, the rise of credit cards, mutual funds, 401(K) plans and individuals investing in the stock market are all things that have happened primarily since the mid-1960s.
Our parents lived in an era in which they worked a lifetime at one company and got a monthly pension when they turned 65. Our children will switch jobs frequently and will need to depend on contributions and the investment results of 401(K) plans to allow them to retire.
Our parents and grandparents had systems to protect them. Our children and grandchildren are on their own.
Janis Joplin sang, "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose." Actually, Janis (and Kris Kristofferson, who wrote the song) had it semi-right.
Real freedom means living in a way in which you can have fun, enjoy life and know that you are never going to hit a time when you are out of cash and out of luck.
Instead of, "It's my money and I want it now," a better way to think is, "It's my money and I want it always."

In Sid Sackson's classic book A Gamut of Games, he introduces a game that he calls "Hold That Line." Briefly, it is an impartial pencil-and-paper game played on a finite grid of dots. The first player connects two dots with a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line; thereafter, each player extends the given piecewise-linear curve at one end, making sure to keep it self-avoiding.
Analyzing this game looks like a nice project in combinatorial game theory, suitable for undergraduates, but has it already been studied? A quick search only turned up a brief discussion in Alan Lipp's book The Play's the Thing.

I prefer to draw in the traditional Japanese manga, instead of using "angular" eyes such as shown in: Pokemon, (I'm sorry but true, at least for one character) Inuyasha, and a few others. For all of my drawings and tuts, I use only (pencil and paper) when drawing, as I don't have a Tablet yet,and only have the Paint Tool. Please enjoy!~

thoughts on CSS switching for tablet and phones within Phone Gap'd Sencha app?
With a heavily themed app (PhoneGap), one where the stock sencha ui doesn't exist (i.e, i have tool bars, but toolbars in name only, they are not sencha toolbars), it seems the best approach to customizing a tablet app for phones is to use a phone-friendly style sheet. Some research on this has only shown me CSS Media queries and UA detection via javascript as the recourse (yes, i have looked at the idomatic layout sencha tut, not easily applied or an option in this case). And, I've read that Sencha itself is depends on the UA for its tablet/phone detection anyway...
If i look at the UA string on an EVO 4G (android 2.3) I see two things of interest: 1) "android" and 2) "Mobile Safari".
On an Acer Iconia (honeycomb) I see the following comparable strings: 1)"android" and 2) no mention of the word "Mobile".
This essentially tells me everything i need to know for Android though of course i will have to assume that all my android tablet users are running Honeycomb and i am making a sweeping assumption that the word "mobile" is present in the UA strings of my targeted Android versions. i suppose I can flash my phone back to stock 2.2 to test..... but in theory I can write a style tag as needed on DeviceReady and be done.
I haven't tried on iOS yet, but, as long as i get the OS from the UA string I'm thinking thats all i need. I would write a style tag into the page and the rest i can take care of with css media queries where i look for the width as we know the values to look for.
So, this seems like a plausible approach to me and maybe a tad too simple.
Any experience out there to shed some light on the topic?
4 Oct 2011 4:57 PM #2
so it turns out that using document.write/writeln will either lockup or crash phonegap. Tried putting the code in all sorts of places... you cannot write in a style tag like you can in a normal web browser. Won't work.
for those who care:
// don't do this!!! function writeStyle(){ var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); if (ua.indexOf('android') != -1 && ua.indexOf('mobile') != -1){ //must be an android phone } else if (ua.indexOf('ios') != -1){ //must be an ios something } }
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/phone.css" type="text/css" media="handheld, only screen and (max-device-width: 640px)">
4 Oct 2011 11:52 PM #3
Hi, in your html:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/custom.css" type="text/css" id="customcss">
if(Ext.is.Android){ Ext.get("customcss").dom.href = "css/android.css"; } else if(Ext.is.iOS){ Ext.get("customcss").dom.href = "css/apple.css"; } else if(Ext.is.Blackberry){ Ext.get("customcss").dom.href = "css/bb6.css"; }
5 Oct 2011 7:43 AM #4
thanks steve...
I see - you're replacing the href of the link tag based on the platform....
Here's that idea applied to my specific situation, where i have a base css and only want the second mobile one if the device is not a tablet:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css" type="text/css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="empty.css" type="text/css" id="customcss">
if(!Ext.is.Tablet){ Ext.get("customcss").dom.href = "css/mobile.css"; }
5 Oct 2011 1:42 PM #5
seems like the media query works better than the Ext.get replacement method. its more reliable - some styles don't get over-rided... will keep tinkering...

Yesterday, Boehringer launched a social game for pharma which is going to be a milestone in the history of pharma's role in improving social media. Here is Syrum.
Boehringer Ingelheim last night unveiled its most ambitious attempt yet to harness the power of gaming at a consumer-style launch event held at the Science Museum in London.
Its long-awaited Facebook game Syrum challenges players to run their own pharmaceutical company and develop drugs to combat a range of deadly diseases.
Explaining the company's reasons for developing the game Boehringer's director of digital John Pugh told PMLiVE: "We built Syrum with a view to creating an ecosystem through which we could engage with people around education. It's also to do with reputation management, market research and recruiting talent.

Warriors Deal Belinelli for George
The motivation for this trade was to get an expiring contract and to clear more cap room after this upcoming season. It's just that the Warriors have a long list of players that have successful careers after leaving the Bay Area, and I'm afraid Belinelli will be another name on this list. The departure of Belinelli also places more pressure on Anthony Morrow, who will see more minutes and could very well be the starting off guard until rookie Stephen Curry shows he is capable of handling NBA speed, let alone Don Nelson speed.
The Belinelli trade emphasizes how professional sports today are all about business. Winning championships comes second to making profit (for the owners who call the shots). Deavan George will see some minutes, depending on the health of Corey Maggette, but he does not make the W's a better team nor does he loosen the wing log jam. I often hear sports fans of previous generations say things like (in best geezer voice), "there's no loyalty to team anymore," or "These guys only care about the money, not the game."
These are the same people that still don't use e-mail. (There are plenty of technology proficient boomers out there, so bite me if you think this is age discrimination) But seriously, if the aforementioned attitudes are yours, just follow college sports! (Except USC which is semi-pro) The NBA, like all professional sports, is a business and owners are forced to make difficult decisions. So remember that it's just business when in two years Belinelli goes for 25 against his former Warriors team that has failed to reach the Playoffs since 2006-07.

DG - little or no upside
MB - with time, confidence building and commitment....big upside.
Think Manu G. - if he commits to becoming more of a slasher/shooter as well as committing to becoming a better defensive player.
Would be a great addition to a team which spaces the floor (i.e. take it to the rim more) and shares the ball.
Rebounding? effort and commitment once again...over to Jay T. to instill the right attitude/message in a still very young player.

The mayor of a small town in Spain's Andalusia region was hailed last week for his part in at least two raids on local supermarket carried out by his supporters.
Seven labor union activists were arrested for taking part in the raids, which Juan Manuel Sanchez Gordillo, mayor of Marinaleda for over 30 years, said resulted in food being distributed to families in financial dire straits. Being a member of Andalusia's regional parliament, Sanchez Gordillo is protected by political immunity.
The raiders entered the supermarkets and proceeded to fill up shopping carts with food items such as pasta and oil before leaving with their ill-gotten loot. Outside, Sanchez Gordillo was shouting encouraging words through a megaphone as cheering supporters gathered.
"There are people who don't have enough to eat. In the 21st century, this is an absolute disgrace," he is quoted as saying.
While many are impressed with the 59-year-old's blunt anti-austerity initiative, Spain's conservative ruling party feels an elected official should not be so gung-ho about breaking the law.
"You can't be Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham," People's Party spokesman Alfonso Alonso said. "This man is just searching for publicity at the cost of everyone else."
Andalusia, where a third of the workforce is unemployed, knows to pain of Spain's economic crisis more than most. Sanchez Gordillo hopes to draw more attention to the plight of his people during a three-week protest march to Madrid which starts today.

Monsignor Quixote is dead
A well-intentioned reform by Pope Francis, perhaps. But I am deeply saddened that the plot point of one of my favorite novels has been swept aside. From Vatican Insider:
Pope abolishes honorary title of monsignor for diocesan priests under the age of 65
In a new move aimed at reforming the clergy and eliminating careerism in the Catholic Church, Pope Francis has abolished the conferral of the Pontifical Honor of 'Monsignor' on secular priests under the age of 65.
Henceforth, the only Pontifical Honor that will be conferred on 'secular priests' will be that of 'Chaplain to His Holiness' and this will be conferred only on 'worthy priests' who are over 65 years of age.
Quick, let's buy up the last remaining purple socks from Gammarelli's.

My (very local) impression is that a lot of bishops have moved away from creating "Monsignors" -- I know Egan made very few in NY, and I don't remember hearing of any under Dolan either. Are there other dioceses that have stepped up the practice in recent years? Or maybe it's more popular outside the U.S.? I knew a number of Monsignors growing up that I am fond of, but I'm not sorry to see the title go. Or go for the younger guys, anyway. I also knew a young priest who had been made a Monsignor -- maybe in his early forties? -- and was embarrassed to be elevated over older and more experienced colleagues.
Holy smokes! I think a lot of aspirations just got quashed. (One nice thing about being a deacon is that, pretty much by definition, there is no possibility of careerism. It's very freeing to have nowhere to go.)
There is this curious sentence in the article: "He confirmed that "the privileges in this regard" that have already been granted by the Roman Pontiff to "physical or juridical persons" remain in force." Physical or juridical persons? I assume all of us persons are physical, at least until we die. What would be a juridical person? Is that like a corporation, a person in the eyes of the law? Were Monsanto and Exxon Mobil in the running for the title of monsignor? :-)
Mollie - sorry to say, yes, they have made a comeback. The Rockford, IL diocese, ruled until fairly recently by a sort of despotic conservative sort, resuscitated the practice a number of years ago, and it seemed to me that quite a few pastors there were made monsignors. Here in Chicago, they restarted the conferral of the title just a few years ago. I know our pastor emeritus, who truly was a saintly man, was disappointed to be passed by. I think it generated bad feelings among some priests who weren't part of the inner circle. Sounds like Francis isn't killing the entire program, but keeping it for guys on the verge of (or past) retirement age.
Mollie - it is and has been alive and flourishing in the Diocese of Dallas. Would suggest it is linked to how much the local bishop is himself a careerist - we have one of the best at it - Kevin Farrell who gave up ministry in Mexico years ago to climb the career ladder from Washington, DC to Dallas (even if he is Irish born and bred with a brother who is a bishop in the Rome Curia).
Let's see:
- first move, purchase a more than $1 million dollar home justified as part of helping to entertain big donors (suggest that Francis' approach works better than this approach - people really do want authenticity)
- second move, push to have two auxiliaries in a diocese that never had one before - accomplished (this is also part of the career ladder process)
- third, name a bunch of monsignors (most well under the age of 65 and either pastors of the richest parishes or administrators with the bishop)
- fourth, have one of these auxiliaries named a bishop quickly (Seitz to El Paso)
- fifth, have seminary rector named a bishop (yep, moved to Fort Worth)
Begin first ever diocesan fund raiser for the future and centralize all giving under the bishop
You get the gist.
Two words: Good riddance!!!
Jim P.
The terms physical and juridcal are canonical. A physical person is defined as someone who has reached the age of majority, i. e. is not minor or an infant. A juridical person is a canonical subject with obligations and rights in accordance with their nature. They are either aggregates of persons or of things.
But monsignorship has not been abolished;you need only wait till you're 65. I can still dream of those purple socks!
In New York, Cardinal O'Connor, after a long absence of such creations ("out of nothing," it was commonly said), one year announced that seventy priests had been named Monsignors. Inevitably, they came to be known as "the Septuagint." A year or two later, he named another thirty. Those who had not been named in either of the two batches began to refer to themselves as "Priests for Life."
What a rip. Is Cardinal next to go? Nothing is more honarary and unnecessary than that. Bishops can elect the pope. Mollie Monsignor is alive and well in New York . St. John the Baptist in Yonkers and St. Barnabas in Bronx/Yonkers have Monsignor pastors.
Francis is so on target. A simple thing like this is so powerful. I believe he is just getting started.
Alan, thanks for that explanation. I have to say, though, that I'm still confused how an aggregate could have a title like monsignor conferred upon it. What would be an example?
Jim P.
The monsignor is a physical person because he is 18 or over and a juridical person because he hs a canonical subject with obligations and rights proper to him. Does Chicago not let deacons study canon law? How could you ever become a chancellor?
I have a friend who is a monsignor; he refers to himself as a "monjunior". Maybe the Pope could make that a new title. "monjunior"
Alan - I just checked the list for chancellor candidates and was not surprised not to find my name listed there. If our local curia ever needs someone who can wax enthusiastic about show tunes, though, I'm their man.
Irene - I have a friend who insists that, unlike bishops and cardinals who comprise the hierarchy, deacons are part of the church "lowerarchy".
This is an excellent beginning. Next in need of review are His Excellency, His Eminence, and—dare I say it?—His Holiness. Possibly also Father, but certainly Reverend. Brother and Sister may appropriately be retained, I think.
Jim P., Monsignor Monsanto sounds like a shoulda-been character in The Castle of Otranto.
Does this mean the Monsignor Martinez soap opera will be cancelled? Vaya con Dios, indeed.
I had assumed that Monsignors were a thing of the past anyway and to the extent the title was granted it was more by way of an honorary title anyway. Sort of the the Church equivelant of when our Mayor declaresa Friday as "Some Local Celebrity" Day. I have to say that I know at least two priests who go by Father rather than the Monsignor to which they are apparently entitled. I discovered this quite by accident trying to find a phone number on the diocesian website. Both were listed as Monsignor. I have never seen either in purple socks and to my knowlege neither owns a pair.
RE: purple and other colors of office: When I see Cardinals and bishops all together on tv, it looks like they're wearing two different kinds of red:one seems a true red, the other has more purple or some other shade in it. Are they different ranks, or do they just happen to be wearing different shades of red?
I'm not certain, Irene, but it could reflect the various offices present. If I recall correctly, Bishops wear purple, Archbishops wear a lighter sort of lavender or almost pink version and cadinals wear red. though in practice I'm not so sure that there is a precise distinction between Bishops and Archbishops. But those might account for at least some of the differneces. I also think that Cardinals often have their own versions of the red, probably as a result of local differences in available fabrics as well as taste. Can you imagine Cardinals Burke and O'Malley selecting the same fabrics for their cassocks?
My diocese of Syracuse named two batches of monsignors in recent years - one about eight years ago under the former bishop and one a year or two ago under the current bishop. Knowing all these guys, most were embarrassed although one - as expected was thrilled. Nevertheless, it is intersting to see how often they use their titles and how their secretaries, bulletins, etc. refer to them. Clericalism is not dead.
The story goes that when a certain monsignor was named in 1971 that his associate immediately bought and installed a crimson/red/purple rug and toilet cover for his bathroom and that this pastor roared and loved telling the story about his "special monsignorial chamber." He was a very good man and priest...
Bill: I didn't say there aren't any currently active monsignors in NY; I know a few. But how many of them were created by Egan or Dolan?
Irene, there are different ranks of cardinals, but I'm not sure that the color of their clothing is what distinguishes the ranks. I'm not very tuned in to this Church Visible stuff. Someone around here wlll know.

In the following audio clips, recorded by University of Colorado Boulder researcher Lal Zimman, two transgender men say the same sentence. Both speakers' voices have a mean pitch of 140 hertz, which is typically considered to be part of the male-sounding vocal range. But the two speakers pronounce "s" sounds differently, affecting whether their voices are perceived as male or female by the listener. In the first audio clip, a speaker called "Joe" uses low-frequency "s" sounds, and in the second clip, "Kam" uses high-frequency "s" sounds. When the clips were played for a group of 10 listeners participating in Zimman's study, the group unanimously perceived "Joe" to be male and "Kam" to be female. Read the full news release for more details on Zimman's work.

I've recently started teaching myself piano (via Bartok's Mikrokosmos) and feel it would be helpful to supplement the pieces with some standard exercises. Everyone I speak with suggests Czerny, but there are simply a ton of different books of his collected exercises; I'm not sure where the best place is to start. Is there one Czerny book that stands out as being particularly foundational?
Czerny Op. 599, Études, (Erster Wiener Lehrmeister im Pianofortespiel ) is usually the volume to start.
I personally prefer Hanon but Czerny's 101 Exercises are great
It depends on what kind of music you want to play. Czerny builds technique suitable for the classical era. Hanon build more general finger strength and agility and is often suggested for beginners. Oscar Peterson Etudes are great if you want to get into jazz.
I use Czerny's "School of Velocity" Op. 299.
I'd suggest not doing Czerny. A lot of people don't realize that the Czerny studies were written specifically as preparatory exercises for the Beethoven Sonatas. If you don't know which studies match up to which sonatas, you're not doing anyone any favors. Learn to play scales and common chord progressions. From there, I'd progress to Liszt, Dohnanyi, or Brahms technical studies. My preference is Liszt.

I plan to develop my own 'customised' sleeping pattern. My idea is to reduce my sleep to about four hours (up to five) per day. I read about polyphasic sleep, especialy uberman's and everyman 3. The main problem I see they all refer to quite short period of time 2-3 months and I found only one critical source which argue with claimed benefits.
My idea is to have a one longer block of 3 hours between 2am to 5am and three short, about 20 minutes naps, during the day. The naps would be sometime between 8-9:30am 1-2:30pm and about 8:30-10pm. The idea behind is that I would have slot of constant sleep where can fit two 90 minutes full cycles and the naps for REM. In general I want more 'floating' naps schedule so will be easier to keep up.
On top of this I plan to have a daily physical activity, an hour and a quarter of ashanga yoga about 5:30am and an active lifestyle in general.
I don't want to modify any diet restriction. At the moment I eat healthy but everything (in the sense: a meat and all of it, no junks).
The purpose of this plans is obviously to have more time but also to work on my concentration, and focus. I do programming, research etc and I normally work better at night. Also I found I work better when I more restricted and under some pressure.
The question is if anyone know any scientific research in this area? If anyone worked like this for a longer period, in years not in months or weeks? Does anyone know claimed and proved side effects? I am looking for proper sources, the best peer reviewed not like "it can't be because is not natural" or "it can because Da Vinci" or general claims like "body needs to rest"
I am also looking for anything which can add up to effectiveness in longer period. I did try in the past with Silva's meditation method, and some tantric techniques. Do anyone knows how or did tried to combine them with polyphasic sleep?
Also I would really like to read what is your opinion about increasing productivity this way. Welcome all your comments.

Malioboro is the most famous street in Yogyakarta. Located in the heart of Yogya, this is the city's main street, and was once the ceremonial avenue for the Sultan to pass through on his way to and from the Keraton. During such occasions Malioboro would be festively decorated with flowers. Some say that the name Malioboro" derives from the name of the British governor Marlborough from the era when Britain ruled the archipelago, between 1811-1816.
Near the north gate of the Keraton or palace are grand Dutch colonial buildings that are now the Central Post Office and the Bank Dagang Negara. Walking further north is the well laid out State Guest House, which was once the home of the Dutch Resident, but which after Independence became the presidential palace when Yogya was the capital of the young Republic. President Soekarno stayed here between 1946-1949.
Across the road is the Vredenburg fort, which used to be the barracks of Dutch soldiers and is now a center for arts and painting exhibitions.
On the same side of the road is Beringharjo market, Yogya's crowded main market, where you can buy batik and souvenirs at cheap prices.
On Malioboro you will also find Yogyakarta's oldest hotel, the Garuda Hotel, built in Dutch colonial architecture.
While steeped in history, today, Malioboro is the place to come to shop. It packed with shops selling curiosities, and street vendors offering souvenirs at affordable prices, so you're bound to find something of interest in this street.
If you're after some batik to take home as a souvenir, then Malioboro is the right place for you. From house dresses to formal batik wear, this street has them all. Batik can also be made into bags, table cloths, bed sheets, pillow covers, curtains, and a whole lot more.
If you plan to spend a night in Malioboro, there are hotels and inns to suit all budgets here. Accommodation services range from bed and breakfasts to star hotels. For a list of hotels in Yogyakarta, just click the "Find Hotel" button. Or see our Travel Directory (DI Yogyakarta --> Kota Yogyakarta).
The best way to take in the sights of Malioboro is on foot. Stalls and stores line up the streets. You won't need a car when the next stall to browse is right next door. There are so many wares to choose from here, that you just might need to return the next day to finish all your shopping.
Malioboro is within walking distance from Stasiun Tugu (Tugu Railway Station).
You can get here on foot or ride a becak (pedicab) or the ubiquitous four-wheeled horse-drawn carts called "andong".

Willie Perkins, known locally as Walkin' Willie, was rushed to St. Mary's Community Hospital this afternoon after an incident at the intersection of Central Avenue and 11th Street.
Witnesses said Perkins was hit by the mirror of a car on the crosswalk, but investigators have not ruled out that he fell down while crossing 11th Street.
Perkins gained notoriety as a Hamburg resident who regularly walked to Nebraska City.
Emil Vollman of Douglas Tire surprised Willie in April of 2008 with a birthday cake for his 75th birthday.
Willie Perkins was surprised on his 75th birthday with this birthday cake from Emil Vollman of Douglas Tire. Perkins was born on April 9, 1933. He said the real surprise is for people who don't know how old he is.

We've been heads down the past month preparing for our next MAJOR product launch coming soon (sign-up to be the first to see the impressive new features). In the meantime, we've had three partners in the spotlight this past week with exciting new launches and customer success stories that are worth highlighting.
LexisNexis launched their High Performance Computer Cluster (HPCC) technology, making it possible to access and analyze complex, massive data sets in a matter of seconds. They plan to release the internally developed supercomputing platform, HPCC Systems, under a dual license, open source model.
Pentaho is proud to be a founding BI partner in this new exciting open source product making it possible for companies to process and analyze complex, massive data sets in a matter of seconds.
Learn more about HPCC Systems.
Infobright announced Infobright 4.0, the industry's first database with built-in intelligence for near-real time analysis of machine-generated data. Quoted in the press release is our own CEO, Richard Daley:
"Infobright's DomainExpert technology delivers new capabilities that allow Pentaho's data discovery users to analyze their data much more quickly," said Richard Daley, founder and CEO of Pentaho. "Since our technology is already tightly integrated with Infobright, these new capabilities will be available immediately for customers to generate data analytics faster, easier and more affordably."
To learn more, read their press release and register for their webinar featuring Infobright 4.0 on June 22nd.
OpenBI published a great case study: Case Commons™, incubated and funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. This is a great story of how Pentaho Partner, OpenBI, and Case Commons™ join forces to provide cutting-edge analytics for human services agencies.
Here's an insert from the results section of the case study. To read the full case study, click here.
Using the Pentaho BI Suite with Pentaho Data Integration as the data transformation engine, OpenBI built the Casebook Analytics proof of concept featuring an analytical data mart and a front-end dashboard application, including advanced charting, filtering and paneling. The application integrates a number of external open source graphics libraries for advanced visualizations, including the ability to analyze 'trajectories' of life events and services. The system is designed to empower frontline teams to make timely decisions that increase the safety, permanency and well being of the children they serve.

If ever there were a case of turning lemons into lemonade, the Toys"R"Us exchange program is it. Billed as the "Great Trade-In" event, the program is positioned as a child safety initiative that enables customers to bring in used products in exchange for a 25% discount on a new item.
The trade in program begins Friday, Jan. 28 and continues through Monday, Feb. 21 at Babies"R"Us and Toys"R"Us locations nationwide. Stores will accept any used cribs, car seats, bassinets, strollers, travel systems, play yards, high chairs and toddler beds in exchange for a 25% discount on the purchase of a new baby item in any of these product categories from participating suppliers. Brands participating in the program include Babi Italia, Baby Cache, Baby Europa, Baby Trend, Bassett Baby Premiere, Bergamo, Britax, Carter's, Chicco, Combi, Contours by Kolcraft, Delta, Eddie Bauer, Evenflo, Graco, Jeep, Little Tikes, Safety 1st, S1 by Safety 1st, Signature Series by Graco, Sorelle, Step2 and Summer Infant.
Originally launched in September 2009, the beauty of the current version of the program is that it generates customer traffic and sales during what is otherwise a seasonally slow period of time for a retailer heavily dependent on toy sales during the fourth quarter. Although, positioned as a safety initiative to remove recalled products from the marketplace, the company makes clear it is willing to accept any item in one of the listed categories for a trade even if they are not hazardous or subject to recall by a manufacturer or the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
"Toys "R" Us remains committed to staying at the forefront of issues that affect children's safety and to helping parents and caregivers become safety advocates for their children," said Jerry Storch, chairman and CEO. "We are proud that the Great Trade-In event has inspired parents to remove hundreds of thousands of potentially unsafe products from the marketplace."
Most of the products turned in since the fall 2009 launch were in extremely poor condition, according to the company. Products were missing parts, damaged or simply decades old with signs of wear and tear that would be considered non-compliant by today's more stringent product safety standards.

A reading of the Aruch Hashulchan's description of the Miracle of Chanukah shows that there is a word he didn't use. What is it and why ?

I'm thinking Yevanim (instead he uses the name אנטיוכוס, and even pluralizes it in the first sentence).
That's probably got something to do with censorship (i.e., either R' Yechiel Michel changed it himself, or the government censor did so), because "Yevanim" was a popular term for the Russians, whose brand of Christianity is an offshoot of the Greek church.
To quote my father on this... My dad noted that it gets rid of Yavan in Malchus Yavan HaRasha. He suggests that this is because he was living in Novardok, Russia. Note how the Aruch HaShulchan must effusively praise the Czar in order to get his work published. Imagine, now, speaking about Ivan the Rasha.
I would guess that this is the answer you have in mind for this riddle.
It is possible that he refers to the terrible defeat suffered at Bet Zur by the Jews at the hands of Antiochus V (or rather his general Lysias), who ruled for two years after Antiochus IV's death. Due to internal Seleukid politics Lysias gave Judea its freedom anyway, and Ant V was soon killed by his cousin Demetrios I.

If you've been reading this blog since the beginning (thanks, honey) you'll know that Tudumo wasn't always Tudumo. It had a name that was very obviously wrong - partly to force myself to come up with a better one!
When a cute name did strike me, I discovered that Todomo was taken. Naturally. So Tudumo was born.
But looking at how people writing into the Google Group spell it, and looking at search terms that people use to find it, I've discovered that what I thought was a cute name has a curious side-effect. I get things like:
Tudomo (the most often!)
(Update - also found tomodo and tudmo...)
So I guess you just can't win! What I do find is interesting is that while I rate okay for "gtd windows" and "windows gtd", and okay for "gtd software" on Google, most people finding Tudumo are searching for...Tudumo. I have to assume that they know where the Tudumo website is, so it's possible that people are either in the habit of Googling even for names they know well, or word-of-mouth is doing it's thing. The latter would be great! Another useful effect is that pages that link to Tudumo sometimes mis-spell the name, so searchers benefit from the same mis-spelling.
Okay, enough rambling. Some features...
Tudumo now has a quick-entry window. If you have the latest update and have Tudumo running in the background, use ctrl-win-t and it'll popup the window. Any items (one per line) will be added to the Tudumo list, chop-chop. I haven't done any clever text parsing but we'll see how it goes. Since it's the first version of that feature, there will likely be changes.
There are also a couple of printing improvements - you can set the margins under the Page Setup. And the usual bugfixes!
What's in a name?

A spectacular Cape Town day for the 2010 Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon
Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon route near Kirstenbosh National Botanical Garden, photo courtesy Tara Turkington
A large crowd gathered at the University of Cape Town this morning, to welcome the winner of the 41st Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon, Mabhutile Lebopo, across the finish line. Lebopo, from Lesotho, ran the 56km race in a time of 3:06:22. Second place went to Moeketsi Mosuhli and third to Teboho Sello, both also from Lesotho.
Olesya Nurgalieva of Russia won the women's race in 3:41:53 followed by her twin sister Elena. South African Adina Kruger came in third. Olesya won her first Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon in 2008.
The ultra marathon follows a spectacular course around the Cape Peninsula. The race starts in Newlands and takes athletes through the leafy southern suburbs, across to the coastal villages of Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek and along the spectacular Chapman's Peak Drive. From here, runners head through Hout Bay, up Constantia Nek and past Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden to the finish, which is back at the University of Cape Town. The ultra marathon is aptly called "the world's most beautiful marathon" and attracted 8829 entries this year.
The event also includes a 21.1km half marathon. Both are held on Easter Saturday every year.
Lusapho April won the half marathon in 1:03:54. Rene Kalmer won the women's race in 1:12:39. This year, the half marathon attracted 11 649 entries.
Last year's ultra marathon winner, John Wachira, caused a stir when he beat three-time winner Marco Mambo by 46 seconds. The women's ultra marathon also had a spectacular finish, with twins Elena and Olesya Nurgalieva crossing the finish line together. The race officials awarded the win to Elena, making it her third victory in this event.
Thompson Magawana holds the record for the ultra marathon. In 1998, he finished the course in 3:03:44. In 1989, Frith van der Merwe ran the women's ultra marathon in 3:30:36, and still holds the race record.
View a short video of the race near Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden.

gluten-free zucchini, mint + feta fritters recipe
It's a little late in the season for zucchini (courgette) recipes I know, but if you are like me and have just been given two huge
Flavoured with a little fresh mint, lemon zest and salty feta cheese, these fritters are light and crispy on the outside while beautifully moist and tender within. The soft salty pockets of feta cheese are my favourite bits, but by all means leave it out to make this recipe gluten and dairy-free.
They are nice served warm, but even better if served straight from the pan, piping hot with just a little fresh lemon juice squeezed over top.
Looking for more ways to use up zucchini/courgette?
- gluten-free courgette, garlic and lemon spaghetti
- grilled courgette with parsley, olives and garlic crumbs
- chocolate courgette cake
gluten-free zucchini, mint + feta fritters
After grating your zucchini it's important to get as much moisture out of it as possible otherwise your fritters will end up soggy. I find the easiest way to do this is to place it all into a clean tea towel, wrap up and wring it out until all the liquid stops dripping. Chickpea flour is also known as chana or besan and can be found at Indian grocery stores or your local health-food shop. To make this recipe dairy-free, simply omit the feta. If you can't eat corn, replace the cornflour with another starch, like potato flour (potato starch), tapioca flour or even rice flour would work too.
serves 4 (makes around 16 medium fritters)
1/2 cup (60g) chickpea flour
2 tablespoons (20g) cornflour (corn starch)
1/2 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
1/4 cup (60ml) cold water
2 eggs
zest 1 lemon
1/2 cup loosely packed mint, roughly chopped
1/4 cup (50g) crumbled feta
3 cups grated zucchini (courgette), about 3 small zucchini, excess moisture removed *see above
sea salt and black pepper
rice bran/olive oil, to shallow-fry
lemon wedges, to serve, optional
Sieve chickpea flour, cornflour (corn starch) and baking powder into a medium bowl. Whisk water and eggs together in a small bowl, then add to the flours, mixing to form a smooth batter. Add lemon zest, chopped mint, crumbled feta and grated zucchini (courgette). Season with a little sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then mix to combine.
Heat a heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a little rice bran/olive oil to cover the base of the pan. Spoon heaped tablespoonfuls of mixture into the pan, without over-crowding. Cook for approx 2 minutes, until the bottom is lightly golden brown, then flip over and continue to cook for a further few minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and place onto a plate lined with kitchen paper. Repeat with remaining fritter mixture until all are cooked. Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Courgettes will be in season for us in a couple of months, and I will definitely try this lovely recipe.ReplyDelete
Ooo I like that these use only two flours, one of which most people would have in their pantry as well. The chickpea flour would add a lovely flavour and the cornflour a nice crispiness...great recipe!ReplyDelete
These look so tasty! I might just have to make them for lunch today! :)ReplyDelete

Ooh yum, I can just imagine standing over the pan eating these piping hot..deliciousReplyDelete
Now that is just the way to go with feta and zucchini. The flavours just blend perfectly, and that is so in season. :)ReplyDelete
Hi, these look fabulous - quick question - how could I substitute zucchini for say, silverbeet. Have loads of silverbeet but no zucchini...Thanks, loving all the recipes!ReplyDeleteReplies
You know what I would do? I'd quickly blanch the silverbeet in boiling water,until just wilted. Cool, by running under cold water. Then squeeze out as much liquid as you can, before finely chopping and adding to the fritter batter. Or you could always just try finely slicing it raw and adding...Delete
Tried this - thank you - was delicious!Delete
I want one now! These look delicious Emma, so golden & crisp on the outside, love feta with zucchini.ReplyDelete

I'm planning on making these tonight. What is the weight of the courgette in grams (g) before grating?ReplyDelete
As I too have 3 massive courgettes/marrows :)Replies
I'm sorry I don't have any courgettes handy to weigh for you. This recipe was based on regular medium sized ones though, so you'll just have you use your judgement and maybe only use 1-2 or your huge ones :-)Delete

Location: Arthropod-Borne Animal Diseases Research
Project Number: 3020-32000-005-06
Start Date: Sep 01, 2011
End Date: Aug 31, 2016
The National Veterinary Stockpile Recommendations list Rift Valley Fever (RVF) as the third most important agricultural threat to U.S. livestock. There are multiple vaccine candidates under development and likely more to emerge from basic research. The USDA, ARS, Arthropod-Borne Animal Diseases Research Unit (ABADRU), is involved with multiple research and development projects to select vaccines for eventual field and stockpile use. The RVF vaccines of the future need to be compatible with a Differentiate Infected from Vaccinated Animal (DIVA) control strategies. The ideal vaccine candidate should be safe and inexpensive to produce and use. The ideal vaccine candidate should also be thermostabile providing an extended in-use period where cold storage is not required.

Migration problem from 4.0 to 4.1
I am currently migrating from ExtJs 4.0 to 4.1.
I am facing a typical problem which is due to this line:
dockedItems = this.getComponentLayout().getDockedItems('render', beforeBody);
In my code I have many instances of 'dockItems = grid.getDockedItems('toolbar[dock=top]'); '
I realize that there is a previous thread in the forum as well but since I could not find the answer to it I am again asking here so that anyone who has solved it could be of help.
Thanks in advance.

The Ohio Department of Transportation has thrown a lot of money at Jefferson County this year.
Construction projects have totaled about $70 million. About half of money is just to correct the falling hillside on state Route 7 at Rush Run.
ODOT this week also broke ground on a new $7.4 million garage on 11 acres of ground off county Road 43, near the Jefferson County Industrial Park.
The current garage off Cadiz Road was built in 1955. Needless to say, ODOT has outgrown the facility with the larger trucks and equipment of today compared to almost five decades ago.
Trucks and equipment at the current garage have to be parked outside in the weather, which can shorten their lives.
A new truck can cost well in excess of $100,000.
ODOT plans to replace trucks after so many years, depending on the amount of snowfall in a region.
The new garage will allow the trucks and equipment to be parked inside. Drivers also will be able to wash the trucks inside in a temperature-controlled environment.
The neighborhood around the current garage developed around it over the years. A snow event results in trucks coming and going 24 hours a day in the residential area.
The new garage is more out of the way and allows easier access to state Route 43 and U.S. Route 22.
There are 12 snow routes in the county, with drivers completing a circuit of 40 miles plowing and spreading salt.
The building will contain separate salt and aggregate and salt mixing buildings and buildings for storing equipment and trucks, plus a main garage building with offices. The contractor, LW Associates of Ashville, is expected to complete the structure by September.
County Road 43 is being developed with the ever-increasing industrial park. The ODOT garage is another welcome addition.
It is good to see the amount of road construction that occurred and is currently ongoing in the county, even if the orange barrels and lane restrictions have created an inconvenience to drivers.
The road improvements have put area construction crews to work and pumped money into the local economy.

Unfortunately, during the starting process of the installer (after choosing install ubuntu from the start menue), the process seems to fail. After some print outs (e.g. permission denies), I get thrown to the busybox console.
I already tried:
- Checked the

- Burned the image on a different cd
- Changed

- Using the boot parameter
Somebody got an idea whats wrong here?

First When I downloaded java from official website I got confused how to install it.
Then I searched it on software center and I found it. But when I install it, it starts but instantly stops and the line highlighting the installation status in progress tab doesn't move forward.
Then I searched on the internet and tried installing it by terminal, but the terminal said that I first have to configure something that I dont know. It tells me to run this
sudo dpkg-configure -a and when I run this command the terminal process stops in the middle and even after leaving it for about an hour it doesn't proceed.
After that when I want to close the terminal, it says that the terminal is in hte middle of a process, and closing it would interrupt it.
So I am greatly confused because even other software, like gimp image editor, are not getting installed.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
First When I downloaded java from official website I got confused how to install it.
I assume that you have downloaded Java in tar.gz format in Download folder.
Extract the downloaded package by running the commands below.
create a folder for Java JDK files and folders
Move all the JDK files and folders to the new location
create a Mozilla plugins folder in your home directory
create a symbolic link to your Mozilla plugins folder. For 64-bit systems, replace 'i386' with 'amd64'.
If you want to uninstall
Installing OpenJDK version
If the process freezes in Ubuntu Software Center or in terminal, you should kill the process manually from terminal by typing killall dpkg, if you don't kill the process it wont let you install anything, neither from software center nor from terminal.
Try this. This worked like a dream.

The Old Republic and both Knights of the Old Republic are set long before the movies, but how do they mesh with each other? I thought TOR would be after both KOTOR games, but the opening cinematics make it sound like it's all about the reemergence of the Sith after having been in hiding for so long (but making a huge army/fleet?)
According to the Star Wars wikia, Knights of the Old Republic takes place in 3,956 BBY (Before the Battle for Yavin - aka the finale of Episode IV: A New Hope) which is 303 years before the BTC (Treaty of Coruscant).
The Treaty of Coruscant heralds the start of the "Cold War Era", during which The Old Republic is set.
So KOTOR takes place about 300 years before TOR.
Do note that the Opening Cinematic in the game is set in the "Past". For instance, the Jedi that gets away, Satele Shan, is now one of the premier leaders of the Jedi Order, not simply an apprentice as she is in the cinematic.
The faction specific cinematics are also set in the "Past", though they reference events at the end of the Sith-Republic war, rather than the beginning of it, specifically The Sacking of Coruscant and The Battle of Alderaan.
The exact date within TOR is unknown, though it is estimated to be about 20 ATC (After Treaty of Coruscant)
The complete in-universe explanation of how the plotlines fit together is given in the Revan tie-in novel. (Note that despite being the third published in the The Old Republic tie-in novel series, none of the books have anything to do with the others, and indeed Revan takes place chronologically first.)
It ties together the emergence of Revan's Sith to not only the Sith of The Old Republic's Cold War era, but also the Sith of the original Tales of the Jedi comics (Naga Sadow, Ludo Kreshh, Marka Ragnos, et al.). It resolves several outstanding questions from the game, both about Revan's past and the future of Revan and the Exile. Highly recommended.
Slightly-spoilery outline of the main thrust of the book:

Movies beneath the stars with V&A Waterfront's Open Air Cinema
I'm a movie buff with a passion for Cape Town and the outdoors like no other… so when I recently received an invitation to the launch of the V&A Waterfront's new Galileo Open Air Cinema, there was no way I was going to turn it down.
Just where is this new experience, due to open at my favourite seaside attraction on Thursday 7 November, 2013, I hear you ask? In typical V&A Waterfront fashion, nothing they do is ever expected and so the Mother City's premier shopping destination has converted its Croquet Lawn, above the new Springbok Museum into its unique film venue.
A throwback to the 1950s and 1960s era when drive-in cinemas were the norm, the Galileo experience gives you the magical opportunity to watch your favourite Hollywood classics including the likes of Pretty Woman, Breakfast at Tiffany's, American Beauty and more beneath the starlight.
On our media night on Thursday 24 October, 2013, we were treated to a screening of the cult musical Mamma Mia. Being able to sing along to one of my favourite movies, with the sea gulls flying overhead and the stars shining down on me, on the lawn of a bustling attraction has to be one of the most unique activities I've ever experienced in #lovecapetown …
What you need to know:
- Reel time info is available online at www.thegalileo.co.za/waterfront so get all of the important details about which movies are on the playbill here. Booking is essential so get your tickets at Webtickets.
- Movies and snacks go together like star-crossed silver screen lovers so either bring along your own tasty picnic basket, stop for a meal at one of the V&A Waterfront's 80 fabulous eateries or purchase your butter salted popcorn and warm drinks at the Galileo's onsite refreshment station.
- Immerse yourself in the total outdoor cinema experience by pre-booking your chairs (R 18 with the Comfy Ticket or R 20 on the night) and blankets (R 10). Don't forget to pack in a warm jacket or bring your own blankets along for those breezy nights.
- Patrons of all sizes and capabilities are welcome so bring along your little ones (they have a fantastic family friendly movies lined-up including Shrek and The Addams Family in January 2014) and enjoy the wheelchair friendly facilities at the Croquet Lawn. Please be aware that most of the movies are geared toward an adult audience.
With the price of a cinematic experience being as expensive as it is these days, the Galileo Cinema's R95 for the movie, chairs and blankets is quite reasonable. Tickets without the chairs and blankets are R 80.
In addition to the V&A Waterfront, the Galileo Open Cinema will also be hosting screenings at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens and Hillcrest Quarry in Durbanville every Tuesday and Thursday night until April 24, 2013. For more information, please visit www.waterfront.co.za or www.thegalileo.co.za. See you at the movies!

Saudi Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Ali Al-Naimi spoke to an audience at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. today on the dynamic changes taking place within the global energy industry. Minister Al-Naimi focused on energy markets and the opportunities and challenges experienced by the global community.
"We [Saudi Arabia] have never failed in our commitment to global energy market stability," said Minister Al-Naimi. "Our number one interest is a well-balanced oil market, which leads to a healthy global economy,"
His Excellency highlighted the multi-faceted nature of the Saudi-U.S. relationship. He stated, "…the U.S-Saudi relationship remains vital, that it is one of partnership and trust and that like oil itself, it is enduring." The minister continued, "Into the future, it is important we continue to work together to ensure oil market stability and prosperous futures for all."

Everyone knows anything peacock related is trending right now. I went to a bridal show last month and every cake decorator had at least one towering peacock wedding cake.
While I'm not in love with the idea of having my wedding cake resembling a peacock, I'm certainly in love with colorful eyes!
When I was a beauty consultant my boss would not allow us to wear neutral toned eyeshadow. It's too boring.
I recently decided to try my eye makeup inspired by the peacock colors and I loved it! Here's how I got my look!
First, I got out my primer. I love eyeshadow primer because it makes the colors brighter, last longer and I don't have to use as much shadow. It's a win all around.
I applied a luminous, shimmery gold all over my lid and brow bone. Then, I got a light green shadow and applied it on my lid.
After the green, I reached for a fun blue eyeshadow (please don't be afraid of it!) and applied it over about two-thirds of my lid, leaving a portion of my inner eye green. Always blend and apply it at a slight slant to the outer eye.
Finally for the shadows, I got a darker purple and made a "7" shape with it lining the outer third of my eye and then blending it through the crease. I lined with a dark green on the top and a light blue on the bottom.
It's a very fun look for a night out. I even wore it to work…of course, blended and with more muted colors!
For even more fun with this, use mineral eyeshadow glitter. If you apply it wet, it will give it a more dramatic look and keep it in place longer! There are plenty of places to purchase mineral colors, here is a link to a site I have purchased from and enjoyed their minerals.
If you have questions, let me know! I'd love to hear from you!

The Top 10 Secret Celebrity Scientologists
Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Jenna Elfman. Let's face it, we're not surprised when obviously unstable, closeted, or just plain untalented actors and actresses start blathering on about Xenu and cleansing their Engrams. Hollywood types can be pretty flaky. But while some of the famous faces of Scientology make sense, there are a surprising amount of celebs that honestly, we expected better from.
Best Known For: My Name is Earl, every Kevin Smith movie after Clerks.
Why You Wouldn't Expect Him To Be a Scientologist: It breaks our hearts, honestly. Lee's a hilarious actor, and can deliver the driest one-liners around. He seems like a genuinely intelligent and funny guy. Hell, dude was a pro skateboarder. How cool is that? Knowing he thinks alien ghosts infected the planet with negative energy can't help but be a little disappointing coming from a guy who can execute a flawless nosegrind.
Connections: Lee's My Name is Earl and Mallrats co-star Ethan Suplee isn't just a Scientologist; he's also married to the sister of second-generation Scientologist/certified whack job Juliette Lewis, who starred in that awful "retarded people in love" movie The Other Sister with close friend and fellow Scientologist Giovani Ribisi.
Lewis and her father guest-starred on My Name is Earl in 2006, which must have made for a really fun day on the set for anyone who needed an E-meter reading.
Presumed Operating Thetan Level: One (is able to "audit" self, has knowledge of matter, energy, space and time above that of regular humans).

Southington eyes berth in 'LL' final
Ridgefield High senior Will Bonaparte has his sights set on a lacrosse career as a midfielder with the University of Maryland, the two-time defending national champion, having given the Terrapins a verbal commitment as a high school sophomore.
Bonaparte is also a standout running back who has rushed for 1,750 yards this season in leading the eighth-seeded Tigers into the CIAC Class LL semifinals today at 2 p.m. against fourth-seeded Southington at West Haven High.
"As a running back, Will's got the total package," said Ridgefield coach Kevin Callahan. "He can make you miss, he can run you over or set up his blocks. He also can pass protect. He can do it all."
In Ridgefield's 35-33 quarterfinal win over previously undefeated and top-seeded Newtown on Tuesday, Bonaparte rushed for 226 yards and three touchdowns on 36 carries. His 63-yard TD burst in the third quarter gave Ridgefield a three-TD edge in the third quarter, 27-7.
"Bonaparte is a player," said Southington coach Mike Drury. "He's got great size and speed. He's a tough kid who gets the ball a lot. We have to be very disciplined."
Ridgefield quarterback Ryan Dunn also poses a concern for the Blue Knights.
"He's a very good passing quarterback but he can also run," added Drury. "He's a great leader who makes the right decisions, and you have to account for him all of the time."
Beating the stature of Newtown's program was a huge accomplishment for Ridgefield, said Callahan.
The same can be said for today's encounter with the Blue Knights, who have gone 26-6 in coach Mike Drury's three-year tenure.
"We were able to jump out early and do some good things, but it was not to my surprise that Newtown came back," said Callahan. "It was nice the way we adjusted and I'm proud of the way we played."
Callahan knows his team will need to continue to play at a high level if it expects to advance to next week's championship game.
"We have a pretty tough task," admitted Callahan. "Their quarterback (Stephen Barmore, 2,550 yards, 35 TDs) has a strong arm and is very athletic, and he has a nice set of wide receivers (Alex Jamele, Jasen Rose, Joe Daigle and Kyle Borawski). They know how to catch ball. They're able to catch the ball over their shoulder or go up and get the ball."
Callahan was also impressed by the Blue Knights' leading running back, Tyler Hyde, who has rushed for 899 yards this season and scored four TDs in the Blue Knights' 52-14 quarterfinal win over Norwich Free Academy on Tuesday.
"That's a great night for any running back in the spread when your quarterback throws 65 to 70 percent of the time," said Callahan.
After seeing tape of Southington's recent games against Cheshire on Thanksgiving and against NFA, Callahan is also impressed by the Blue Knights' blocking techniques and attention to detail.
"We run the same offense," said Callahan. "Southington is very efficient."

Unanswered: GXT broken on FF on Android currently. Plans going forward?
GXT seems to be broken on Firefox on Android, but not for GWT on same browser/device.
I tested both of the following GXT 3.1 sites using FF 16.0.1 on Android 4.0.3 on Asus TF101 and got only blank screen:
Whereas using the same browser and device (as above) I was able to successfully view/interact with the widgets on the following GWT site:
Is this expected? If so is there any plan to support FF on Android later?

Simple really - add your best tips for painting (a room, that is). Ideally one tip per answer for ease of voting.
Take off outlet face plates, unscrew light fixtures, etc. Tape over the outlets and switches. Bag the light fixtures.
I've seen a lot of painted-over receptacles. There's no reason to do that, since it's so easy to do it right.
I've seen edged-in face plates and light fixtures. Again, easy to do it right.
The key to getting a good finish is preparation.
Make sure that the surface you are painting is clean and dry, free from any loose flakes of old paint. Fill any cracks with a suitable filler and prime this before applying the colour.
Sand the surface first, then wash and finally brush.
Don't wash brushes out between coats, and don't leave them sitting in thinner. Wrap them in a plastic ziploc bag. If they'll fit in the bag, then great. If not just bunch the bag around the handle and tighten a cable-tie around it.
Keep a damp rag in your pocket for the odd drop here and there. Damp it with the right solvent for the type of paint you are using.
For crisp lines: after taping, paint along the tape with the color that is under the tape and let it dry. Some will leak under the tape (which is ok, because it's the same color) and seal it. Then paint the new color.
Whenever possible, try to work into a wet edge. Don't cut in edges too far ahead before rolling. Painting over a dried area produces overlap stripes!
Use quality materials and professional grade brushes and roller covers. Use the right brush or cover for the job and type of paint you are using. Add in a knowledge of proper techniques, and you will get a good paint job.
Get a good sash brush and practice edging without tape. (For me) it's faster and there's no chance of it bleeding past the tape edge.
Where carpet meets baseboard, run 2" masking tape along the edge of the carpet.
Then use a broad scraper (or something similar) to push the tape down right where the carpet meets the baseboard. This compresses the edge of the carpet, keeping it well out of the way.
When you paint the baseboard, there's no chance of a) getting paint on the carpet, b) getting carpet fluff onto the brush, and c) best of all, then you peel back the tape (careful, do it by pulling back at a shallow angle, not straight up or you can accidentally lift the carpet) the carpet bounces back up totally hiding the bottom edge of the new paint.
I worked as a decorator for many years, and this was one of the trick that took my work to a whole new level of leaving a room looking crisp.
Brush and roller care:
If you're doing a lot of painting, get a brush spinner. The spinner both grips brushes by the handle, and can have roller sleeves slid over it as well. That way, when you wash out a brush, you can spin it dry, then wrap the bristle in kitchen roll. When the brush dries out fully, it's kept its shape rather than splayed out all over the place. You can "cut in" - paint a straight edge - with it straight away next time you use it.
Keep a five-gallon bucket on hand for this, btw! Spin inside the bucket to catch the spray.
You can also do this to clean a roller sleeve. I know that they are cheap, but they shed fluff when you're first using them. For a first class finish, wash the roller before you use it, then spin it dry.
For a short break, wrap brushes and rollers in saran wrap, and squeeze it tight.
Enlist the help of a friend. Pay him or her in beer.
Time spent taping the edges is time saved later. You only have to tape once, and you get the benefit for each coat of paint + each coat of primer.
Since you only have to do each edge once, you can afford to do it very carefully.
Use a power roller. Rolling paint isn't hard for a DIYer but rolling unpowered is tedious compared to using a power roller.
These days, power rollers are not that expensive--less than $60--which is a whole lot less than a full air-compressor/sprayer set up.
Buy a power roller now and you'll save time and also your back.
See this post's answer for how to put paint on evenly to give a nice sheen.
Maybe this hasn't been mentioned because it's too obvious, I don't know.
If you're trying to get a crisp line without tape (maybe between wall and ceiling, semewhere non-critical, or maybe you have steady hands), orient the brush correctly for best results. Instead of orienting to use the width for a wide stripe, turn it 90 degrees so you are painting a narrow stripe. This means all the fibers of the brush are reinforcing the same crisp edge. You'll get a solid edge that you won't need to go over again, thus avoiding further opportunities to drift off the line.

I looked at "Between A and B vs from A to B", but it didn't mention a third variation I've been hearing more often, recently.
Even on the Australian national broadcaster, the ABC, I've heard statements by reporters like
The cost was estimated to be between A to B dollars.
Have the rules of grammar changed, or is this as ungrammatical as I think it is?

TreePanel and TreeStore problems when opening 1.1.2 project with 1.2.2 Build 48
Trying to open one of our 1.1.2 projects in Designer 1.2.2 Build 48 and encountering the following error:
An unexpected error occurred
Please help us make Designer better by reporting this error to the Designer forums
TypeError: 'undefined' is not an objectRestart Exit DesignerBased on other posts I've found in the forums, I'm guessing the problem lies in one of our class definitions, but I have no indication of where the problem lies. Is there any way to run Designer in a debug or enhanced logging mode so that I can actually see where the error is occuring?
7 Dec 2011 3:02 PM #2
debug console
I like that idea! Perhaps we should request a feature in Designer where we can see a debug console!?Perfection as a goal is a nice idea that can point one in a specific direction. However, since "perfection" is an ever changing (evolving?) and moving target, one must admit that perfection can never be obtained...
When in doubt, check the d4mn source code!
And here are my terms...
- I don't care if you use my source code. (Known as "Code.")
- I don't care if I get any monetary compensation.
- I do care to receive credit for Code provided. So, please keep my name in the comments for Code provided.
- Code is provided without warranty "AS-IS" and I claim absolutely no warranty nor liability to the quality, security, and run-ability on any platform.

Simple. Enjoy.

I too would like to put in a strong request for debugging, or just some logging.
I am getting the exact same error, the only options are to restart or exit designer.
This is happening when I load data into my harness tree store.
I'm on designer on 1.2.2 build 48 on CentOS linux (32 bit) version 5.5. I'm trying to build an ExtJS 4.0 project, but not getting very far.
I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting. When I make the exact same request into a browser, I get well defined JSON output. Help!
11 Dec 2011 10:54 PM #4
I have a reproduction vector
Here's exactly what I did to cause this to occur:
1) Start a new project in the designer.
2) Add a tree panel
3) Create a new JSON Tree Store, add URL, fields etc.
5) associate the tree panel with the new tree store. Click "Load Data"
The project up to now behaves as expected. It works. I am seeing my data in the tree view.
Now, go File | Save project as...
Exit designer.
RE-start designer and open recent project.
Now, when I click "load data" in the Tree store, I get the said error.
"TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object" opening 1.1.2 project with 1.2.2 Build 48:
11 Dec 2011 11:00 PM #5
it should be added that I see the data get loaded -- the tree populates, but instantly after that, the modal dialog box opens, and my only choices are to exit or restart.
13 Dec 2011 4:01 PM #6
We are working on ways to improve the bug reporting. We are aware that right now the information that you get back is not very useful.
Thanks for the above test case. We will try to reproduce it. It may also be helpful if you were to send your own project file which you are encountering the problem with.Aaron Conran
14 Dec 2011 12:52 PM #7
Aaron, I'd be happy to send in my project file. What is the best method to get it to you?
14 Dec 2011 12:57 PM #8
Ive attached the simpliest project file I could create that reproduces the problem.
To reproduce the problem, just load the project and go to the store tab and right-click and select "Load Data".
It reproduces on CentOS 5.5 and on my mac running Lion.
Of course you will need the server for the JSON. I also attached the output of the JSON my server produces.
Thanks for taking a look!
14 Dec 2011 1:22 PM #9
Problem project file attached. The error occurs immediately upon opening the file.
14 Dec 2011 2:08 PM #10
For fun I loaded deaconb's project file and the problem reproduces on both my environments.
I wonder if we are experiencing the same problem. The error message is the same.

All comfort foods don't pack on pounds
For most people, the onset of cool weather means it's time to integrate a sixth food group into their diets: comfort foods. Bowls of belly-warming macaroni and cheese, creamy mashed potatoes and piping-hot chicken pot pie help satisfy your body's instinctual drive to stay toasty and conserve energy for the winter ahead. Obviously, if you're not careful, these annual indulgences can quickly add pounds of extra insulation that are hard to remove come spring.

BaMidbar Rabbah 2:7 has a list of each tribe and its flag, with the colour, stone, and symbol associated with it, which I believe is probably the original source (or one of the earliest that we'll find) for this. I'd be interested to see what other people come up with.
Interestingly, the list is a little different than the one more commonly known. I've often seen a pair of scales as a symbol of Dan, for instance, rather than a snake. I imagine that people often have their own associations with the tribes and so there may be more than one "official" list of the 12 Tribes and their symbols.
Anyway, here it is from the Midrash Rabba. I've left the names of the precious stones untranslated — I will check with my father and get back to you.
Be'otot ["according to the standards", Numbers 2:2]: There was a symbol for each leader [of each tribe], with a flag and a colour, and the colour of each flag was like the colour of the precious stones that was over the heart of Aaron [the High Priest, i.e. on the hoshen/breastplate]. From this the kingdoms learned to make flags and a colour for each flag. Each tribe had its own leader, and the colour of the flag was similar to the colour of its stone.
Thus it says be'otot [literally "in the signs"], for there were symbols for each leader.
Update on the stones of the hoshen / 12 Tribes, and their identification. This information is from my father's book "The Natural Bible: Judaism and the Environment", which will be published (be"h) by Berman House this spring.
Revach.net has a nice table of the tribes populations, flags, symbols, and camp locations.
Levi's symbol was the Urim V'tumim (High Preist's breastplate). This is based on the Meam Loez (Bamidbar 2:2).
The Targum Yonasan on Chapter 2 of BaMidbar mentions the flags for each "super-tribe", i.e. cluster of three tribes that camped together:
