Top 5 delectable places to eat in tasty Cape Town: an Instagram essay
Allison Foat
I live and work in Cape Town, a place that inspires me on a daily basis with its beauty. I try and capture its exceptional uniqueness and that of other fabulous cities around the world, as best I can, as often as I can, through one lens or the other. I'm probably addicted to Instagram.
It's fair to say that I'm in search of amazingness wherever I can find it, and find it I shall.
I work as a Publicist in the entertainment industry, and am the founder and owner of DIVA PR (@AllisonFoat on Twitter, Instagram & Facebook / www.capetowndiva.blogspot.com).
My motto: seize the day.
I love seeking out the best food and drink in tasty Cape Town, and then letting fellow foodies know when I find it. It can be anything from haute cuisine or a plate of salad at a deli to a craft beer, a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. If it's great, I'll Instagram it immediately it and show it off to my followers.
I'm very proud of what's available to us in the Mother City. There's no end to the number of outstanding offerings, and once you've tasted excellence there's no turning back.
These are just a few of my top delectable places to eat in Cape Town:
Loading Bay
Poached eggs with basil pesto on rye is a "must try" breakfast dish at Loading Bay on Hudson Street in De Waterkant, a most picturesque part of the Mother City. The coffee by Espresso Lab Microroasters is also excellent. Loading Bay is open Monday to Saturday.

Tamboers Winkel
Try Tamboers Winkel on the corner of De Lorentz and Kloof Street in Tamboerskloof for lunch. Chef Karen Arends' chicken pie in phyllo pastry, with a chickpea side salad with basil pesto, is a tasty choice. Tamboers Winkel, open seven days a week, is a stylish deli that feels like home away from home. Free WiFi is available for patrons.

Pot Luck Club
Chef Luke Dale-Roberts has opened the Pot Luck Club at the top of the Old Biscuit Mill in trendy Woodstock. The exquisite food – small plates of "fusion and classically influenced dishes" – is surpassed only by the 360-degree views of the Mother City.
The Pot Luck Club is open Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, and on Sundays for brunch.

Possible Early Dementia (cont.)
The medications used in Alzheimer's disease have also been tried in MCI. Those that have worked the best so far are the cholinesterase inhibitors.
People with MCI should be checked regularly because of their increased risk for dementia.

Today, I was playing a duel, and my friend played a Wall of Reverence, which he then ended up enchanting with an Ethereal Armor. Between those two actions he asked me if I would counter it, to which I answered that I would wait for him to play the rest of his cards so I could choose what to do. He said that I had to counter the Wall of Reverence before he played Ethereal Armor for the counter to work. Was he right about that?

Your friend was right.
Casting spells and activating abilities puts them on the so-called Stack before they actually resolve and turn into creatures, enchantments, and so on. The Stack is a pretty important part of MtG.
You can only counter spells and abilities while they are on the stack; indeed, a spell can only be a spell on the stack, and if you read your counter spells carefully, they say exactly that: counter target spell. Therefore, if it's not on the Stack, you can't counter it, because it can't be a spell. Once a spell has resolved, it's off the Stack and it's too late to counter it.
Most spells, like creature, enchantment, or sorcery spells can only be played while the stack is empty, among other things. That means, if your friend first played a creature (the Wall of Reverence), and then an enchantment (Ethereal Armor) on that Wall, the Wall can no longer be on the Stack and must already be on the battlefield. Not to mention that this enchantment requires a target, which can in this case only be a creature that's already on the battlefield.
The only situation where you can choose which spell to counter is, obviously, when multiple spells are on the Stack. The first spell can be anything, and the other spells are typically instants.
Note that your opponent is not required to respond to a spell, even if he could (which he could not in this case) - if he so chooses, he can just let any spell resolve, then cast the next, let it resolve, and so on, until he has played everything he wanted to. Indeed, this is a common strategy against a player like you who plays counter spells, because he forces you to decide on incomplete information. If all spells were on the Stack at the same time, you would of course have a much easier time to decide which spell to counter, if any, which is why a smart player would deny you that opportunity, and he has every right to do so.
He's right.
Ethereal Armor is not an instant, and Ethereal Armor can't enchant Wall of Reverence before the wall enters the battlefield, so he didn't even have the option of casting Ethereal Armor in response to Wall of Reverence.
You can counter an Ethereal Armor only if you don't counter Wall of Reverence. If you counter the wall, there would not be a legal target for EA. Since EA isn't an instant, your opponent cannot cast it until the stack is empty. This implies that the wall has either been countered, or you have decided to allow it to resolve. You cannot choose to wait to see what else your opponent casts.

There's Markov random field (MRF) which, by my Wikipedia-based knowledge, is an extension of Markov chain. I'd like to think of it as going from 1D to higher dimensional spaces. Inherent in its definition though, the space a MRF lives on (i.e., the index set of the stochastic process) is a discrete graph. So it's actually a lattice and not the continuum of a Euclidean space (or some manifold for that matter). I'm wondering if there exists a MRF of the latter form, in other words, an extension of the Markov process (as opposed to the Markov chain) to higher dimensions.
I know that a similar extension exists for the Poisson process, namely the spatial Poisson process. But for MRF, I'm not even sure how I'd define the Markov property.
Any references or remarks are appreciated.

Lots of low degree curves arise naturally as the phase spaces of physical systems (that is, the curve parameterized by $(q,p)$ where $q$ is a generalized position variable and $p$ is a generalized momentum variable (such that $p=\dot{q}$, etc).
For instance, if degree is 1, then we can construct the curve as the phase space of a particle moving with constant velocity, and it is parameterized by $(x,0)$, so is given by the equation $y=0$, up to a choice of coordinates.
For $d=2$, a conic, we can use, for instance, a spring, whose position is $\cos(x)$, and so $(\cos x,\sin x)$ parameterizes a circle (ellipses are also fairly easy to see how to do this way, and parabolas are linearly accelerated particles, though I don't see hyperbolas immediately)
For $d=3$, it is well known that a simple pendulum has phase space an elliptic curve with roots the initial height, the length of the pendulum, and minus the length.
Are there other nice examples like this? Is there a natural physical system that realizes hyperbolas? Does every real elliptic curve arise in this way? How about quartic or higher curves? I assume there are physical systems that work, as every ODE is modeling SOME system, but are there well-known examples that arise naturally in physics?

OpenSolaris supports EBS - provides capability to create ZFS
By rrajesh on Aug 21, 2008
How to use EBS with OpenSolaris AMI
Today Amazon Web Services announced the availability of the most awaited feature of Persistent Storage (officially called as Elastic Block Storage) on Amazon EC2 cloud. And, we are excited to announce that OpenSolaris does support creating ZFS file system on EBS. ZFS is the default file system in OpenSolaris and provides data integrity by 128-bit checksumming and has Rollback features to roll back any changes in the file system to a previous consistent state.
For detailed information on using EBS with the OpenSolaris AMI, please refer the document "Using EBS with OpenSolaris AMI"
As an EC2 user, you probably know, running database servers on EC2 instances required you to put together mechanisms to backup the databases since the local storage wasn't persistent and would go away once the instances were shutdown or crashed. EBS solves this problem and provides local persistent storage which can be attached the running instances for database servers such as MySQL. Since MySQL is the most popular open source database server on EC2, it stands to benefit the most from EBS. Here's a link to Amazon Web services article on benefits of using EBS for MySQL. One of the benefits that I would like to highlight is:
Improved performance - Early reports from studies on EBS disk IO performance indicate that EBS IO rates can be multiple times faster than ephemeral storage and even local disk IO. This has obvious benefits for databases which are often IO bound.
Since, EBS provides capability to create file systems on the volumes, users can now take advantage of ZFS on EBS and you may get improved performance for certain workloads and database sizes. Here is an interesting article on MySQL and ZFS and performance comparison of ZFS Vs UFS file system (I think its OK to assume, ext3 will be comparable to UFS and hence these numbers may be a good comparison between Ext3 file system and ZFS
I am sure you'll find EBS feature useful and even better take advantages of ZFS on EBS. If you have any feedback or comments, as always, please send them to us via ec2-solaris-support [AT] SUN [DOT] COM.

AIC's Wendy Sefsaf gives insight and advice to those interested in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals initiative in this Central Florida Future article:
There is a calculated risk for DREAMers who apply for deferred action, Wendy Sefsaf, communications director for the American Immigration Council, said. When the DACA order expires, they risk having exposed themselves to immigration officials.
"I would say to be very cautious," Sefsaf said. "Make sure that they get legal counsel and they're not putting themselves in a position where they could get deported — especially if they have a criminal background."
"After two years, no one knows what will happen," Sefsaf said. "Hopefully the DREAM Act is passed, but if not — it could expire and no one really knows."

"Irish Red Ale "
Made a 1.5L starter from a recycled batch of this Irish ale yeast I harvested from a porter I brewed in December. Brewed a traditional Irish Red with an OG of 1.052, and and pitched around 70 degrees. Left outside on a cool San Diego night, and the next morning it was happily fermenting at around 62 degrees. After one more night outside, still strongly fermenting at 58 degrees. Brought inside and now maintaining temp of 64 degrees. Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!
Did a 1L starter of WLP004 (PurePitch) , put it on a stir plate for 48 hours. Pitched into a 1.049 Stout @ 70 degrees. 24 hours later, I have a monster on my hands. Probably over pitched, but whatever. Can't wait to taste it.
"Bold taste"
I don't really like Irish and English yeasts as there are so many other styles I prefer but thought I'd give this one a try. I made a 2 quart starter with 1 cup light malt extract and pitched in 21 gallons of three different beers, as I do with all Whitelabs yeasts. I made: (1) Brown Ale, (2) blueberry stout (mashed 4 pints of just picked blueberries and added to wort just before cooling), and (3) Pale ale. The yeast performed as expected. The only thing I found unusual was in my secondary, a thin layer of white film collected on the surface. I scraped it off before bottling and all was well. I don't think I'll use this one again as the taste was a little bolder than I like. The best analogy I can use is that it was like a Maduro cigar – bold and strong. It had great head retention and color, starting gravities were 1.074-1.080 and ended at 1.008, but I like the German and IPA yeasts better. However, might be worth a try if looking for a heavy, bold, obviously Irish taste.
"Great for a wide variety of ales."
I have used WLP004 for 8 years and am always amazed at its versatility. Most recently it has won praise for my Punkin Ale, a 7.4% Sweet Potato Brown Ale and is currently fermenting my trusty old Robust Porter. Ferments well even at 64F, slow and steady.
"Fast and violent fermentation"
Made an esb type a while ago in a 2 litre starter. fermentation was of already after about an hour in the wort. next day saw the fv lid split and a yeast monster spray the walls. Took about 2 days to settle down. finished fast and flocked nicely. Am wondering about doing a russian imperial stout with this for an og of 1.099(abv around 10.5) but am unsure as to whether it would handle it. Will be a 10 l brew and i have the entire yeast cake saved. thoughts?
"Great for an Irish Red"
I recently made a lovely Irish Red with this and the results are fantastic. I used two vials in a 2L starter (but could probably get away with just one 1L next time) and started a 5 gallon batch at 1.040. Primary fermentation finished after eight days at 1.012 which was slightly above expected minimum attenuation. I thought the beer may be a little sweet because of this but the yeast gives a really dry taste even at a relatively high final gravity. This gave me a lovely dry, almost stout like beer at around 4%ABV. I have made an extra strong Guinness style beer with this yeast before ending up at 8% ABV so it can handle the higher alcohol beers well.
I believe the reason I didn't hit my target final gravity was because I allowed the temp to drop dramatically one night so would recommend even some basic temp control such as a heater pad at night if your temperature goes below 10oC. The yeast bubbled away happily at temps between 15oC - 23oC which is larger than the recommended range.
"English Mild"
Wondering How this strain works for English Milds... I will let you know Bjcp 11A.
"Wow! Great yeast - started in 12 hours at 70 degrees"
Wow! Great yeast - started in 12 hours at 70 degrees. The best beer I have brewed! Amazing clarity and clean taste. Really brought out all the roasted malt flavor in this beer. Just brewed a milk stout using this yeast and am hoping for same result!
"I used this strain for the first time"
I used this strain for the first time, brewing a rather traditional Irish Dry Stout for an upcoming club competition. It fermented fast at about 66F and produced a very clean tasting Stout with a very slight acidic tartness (?), which resembles what I get when I drink Guinness. I also brewed an English Mild using this yeast... it's good, just not very English. I'm calling it an Oirish Mild, as it too has that slight acidity and crisp dryness.
"... it was going to town the next morning"
I pitched the vial into a three gallon batch of stout with an O G of 1.061. I had signs of fermentation in four hours and it was going to town the next morning. After three weeks I racked to secondary and the gravity was 1.015 and tasted real good. I will use this yeast again
"...well balanced..."
This is my house strain for stouts and some ales. Flavor profile is amazing, I've regularly got this yeast to 1.004 for the dry stouts. Also made an Imperial Porter with it as well. It keeps the hop profile in the background but still is well balanced.
"This yeast produced a very flavorful/character"
This yeast produced a very flavorful/character rich beer. It was quite, fruity, but I fermented at the top of the temperature range. I didn't get any phenolics or other unwanted yeast characteristics. It seems to accentuate caramel/bready flavors, but those were the flavors I was going for. It would be interesting to see how an IPA or pale Ale would turn out with this strain.
"... gotta drink ..."
Our club purchased the wlp004 Irish ale yeast to make an Irish dry stout. The same day we were also making a blonde ale with wlp005 British ale yeast. When it came time to pitch we mixed up the yeast (gotta drink beer to make beer). The result was a great English stout and an incredible blonde ale we dubbed Durty Nellie. It's a crowd favorite at parties and recently won third at the Orange County (CA) fair. I would recommend this yeast.
"... takes off quickly ..."
This is an outstanding Yeast for Porters and Stouts of all types and works very well for American Pale Ales too. Leaves a very clean and malty tasting beer and balances the hops nicely. I have used this product on at least 6 different Porters and Stouts and an APA or two and have even washed and reused the yeast up to 3 times or just dumped a new batch on top of the old cake with no signs of problems. The yeast takes off quite quickly normally in 10 to 12 hours or less and if dumping on an old cake only about 2 to 4 hours. I have used other White Labs yeast as well as other brands and as far as I'm concerned White Labs products are the best and first pick for my brewing.
"... off to the races"
WOW...pitched a 1.5L starter into 5 gallons of wort + oxygen and it was off to the races! Wanted to experiment with lower fermentation temperatures and at 58 degrees (ambient) it attenuated fully in only 72 hours (1.070 to 1.018).
"Incredible flavor"
First time I use liquid yeast and I didn't think it would need so much stirring (flocculation) and be so shy to show signs of activity (took 24 hours). Incredible flavor. I hope a very good beer. This yeast seems to be a really good way to improve my homebrewing.
"Just made a brown ale ..."
Won an Arrogant Bastard clone competition amongst 10 of our members using this year. Very clear in the bottle and keg. Just made a brown ale using a repitch that had been sitting in the fridge for 5 months. Restarted in 1 liter and a day later going strong. Hearty yeast no doubt!
"Primary fermentation was done quickly ... "
The second time I used this yeast, I fermented at 66F. Primary fermentation was done quickly and I kegged it after only 8 days. The result was noticeable diacetyl. Next time, I will go 68F and let it sit for 2 weeks to clean that diacetyl up.
"The bottles cleared nice after 1 week"
Very nice for stouts, my oat stout was on the lighter side by design, has a nice smooth character after only 3 weeks, 2 in primary and 1 in bottles so far. I was fermenting in a bucket, fully attenuated, but couldn't see it clear, I WOULD DEFINITELY LEAVE IN PRIMARY 3 WEEKS NEXT TIME. The bottles cleared nice after 1 week and carbonated quickly because of all the yeast still in suspension. I don't think it will keep for longer aging because of how much yeast settled out and is now in the bottles. It will be gone in a month anyway. I fermented at 68 to 70 degrees and didn't need much head space, no more then 2 inches of krausen in my bucket, flocculated pretty solid even though the beer didn't clear for 3 weeks. That 1/16 of an inch of yeast in my bottles is stuck pretty well to bottom, no worries pouring.
"I really like the clean taste"
The love story began with a Stout, then an IPA made it become my "house yeast". I'm now using it for any red or brown ales recipes. I really like the clean taste, and the light fruity after-taste. I've also noticed that an ounce or a bit less of torrefied malt (carafa 2) in amber, red or dark ales produces a really nice and complex aftertaste that I can't get tired of. She is a winner!
"... definitely using this again!"
First Stout I have brewed and this is an amazing yeast! With the 1 Liter starter I made, lag time was only 3 hours! This yeast flocculated very well, and the finished product is far superior than any commercial Stout I have had. I am very impressed with WLP004 Irish Ale yeast, definitely using this again!
"This is gonna be tasty!"
I've used dozens of yeast strains that White Labs produces, but the WLP004 Irish Ale yeast is fastly becoming my choice for all Ale and Stout homebrewing! I've never seen a strain of yeast take off as quickly as WLP004, my latest Irish Red was pitched at 2 p.m. on brew day and was already blowing off at 7 a.m. the next morning! This is gonna be tasty!
"The beer took a 1st place"
This yeast produced a malty, full bodied ale. The beer ended up around 10-11% ABV with some (not much) residual sweetness. The finished beer took a 1st place ribbon in a hombrew contest.
"... smells delicious while fermenting"
Irish ale yeast imparts a delicious fruity character to beer, which works very well with stouts, porters, and my most recent beer an Old Ale. The fruitiness pulls the residual sweetness of brown sugar together with a hoppy spicy bite for a very balanced brew. Also, IAY smells delicious while fermenting. No elephant farts!
"... the yeast was robust"
I used this yeast to make an Irish Red as part of a wedding gift. Having gone out of my realm of brewing wheats and in the midst of the summer, I was not sure I could keep the temperature low and I was right. Although the temperature slightly exceeded (+2 or 3 degrees) the recommended range, the yeast was robust and yielded a beer that was a hit. I gave the beer sufficient time to age and work out diacetyl and in the end it the beer was true to style, and true to the yeast description having a hint of diacetyl, light fruitiness and a dry finish even though it had a malty profile.
"Great Irish style stout"
Great yeast to create nice dry stout. For years I have tried other dry and liquid yeasts, but this one definitely will give you a great Irish style stout. Works great in Imperial and Oatmeal Stouts as well. Nice yeast!
"... Every beer turned out great"
I used this yeast for the first time in an all-grain Irish Stout kit I purchased last year. I was so impressed with the results that I tried it in one of my home made Pale Ale recipes. To make a long story short, I brewed about 20 batches of beer last year. Everything from Pale Ale to Red to Nut Brown to Porter to Stout. I used this yeast in every beer and every beer turned out great. This is definately a great yeast for all-grain brewing.
"... Produced an excellent stout"
This yeast produced an excellent stout as well as the best porter I have ever tasted. It produced a very complex and pleasing flavor in each, and mellowed well and noticeably week to week even after 6 months in the bottle.
"... Hint of cherry"
Some malt flavor, hint of cherry. Smoke flavor goes away in time.

Beate Comment actually warned us on the phone that her Epicuren Enzyme Facial "isn't the relaxing treatment most people are used to." We want to go where she has been unwinding, because her stress-melting hand-and-foot massage left us limp. When we left, our cheeks had a just-pinched glow, and the constellation marring our jawline had vanished.
San Francisco: Facials
450 Sutter St.
9 Maiden Ln.
If it's true that smart is beautiful, then the facialist that we went to here should have a Ph.D. in beauty. While she steamed our face to activate an enzyme exfoliant, she confidently explained the possible causes of our skin's redness (she suspected our cleanser was too harsh), recommended gentle at-home exfoliation, and shared her advice on avoiding the California sun. But she also knew when to can the chatter: right about the time she started swirling a combination of antioxidant and hydrating serums on our skin and delivering a perfect neck and shoulder kneading. The results were nothing short of brilliant.

Working from home has been hell on our looks. Clark's Beauty 101, a makeup lesson and Sephora shopping trip, was sweet salvation. She suggested a yellow-based concealer to combat dark circles and emphasized our eyes with Stila Pewter powder liner. We then headed to Sephora for a new bronzer (Clinique Streak-Free Bronzer for Men, which Clark swears by for women) and Smith's Rosebud Salve, a lip gloss and brow-tamer. We may spend our days at home, but we'll make the most of our nights.
By appointment only
The thought of a professional rooting through our makeup bag is unnerving. But McDonald made gentle suggestions rather than passing judgment. She explained that our olive complexion would look better with deep gold eye shadows. To warm up our skin, she smoothed on Nars Balanced Foundation in St. Tropez and rolled over Giorgio Armani #6 pressed powder with a folded puff, then dusted off the excess with a clean brush. As McDonald worked her magic, she shared her makeup wisdom, such as, "Mascara wands with close bristles mean less clumping." We looked sexier and felt ten pounds lighter.

Traveling between tropical climates and subzero zones all winter had left our face looking tired, so Eisenberg prescribed her Better Than Botox facial. There was microdermabrasion. There were soothing, cleansing, and moisturizing masks. There was a foot massage to end all foot massages. And, of course, there was extraction. But Eisenberg had one final trick up her sleeve: a silver-ion mask accompanied by a shoulder massage. By the end, we felt—and looked—like we'd just woken from a great night's sleep.

Cynthia Quan
977 Valencia St.
We reluctantly described our slapdash skin-care regimen for Quan and braced ourselves for a lecture. Instead, she simply advised us to apply sunscreen daily and got to work with a grainy scrub. After steaming, she performed extractions and applied a mask to calm our skin. Next, she lodged hot stones beneath our shoulder blades and unlocked the tension in our jaw with a head-and-face massage. We left with glowing skin and a clear conscience.
2044 Fillmore St.
The feel: Zen in attitude and decor, with a "please practice silence" sign at the entrance.
The treatment: Our aesthetician used a cocktail of fruit enzymes, including a cranberry scrub that we loved (and bought) and a tingling pumpkin-papaya-and- pineapple mask that rid us of our blackheads and ashy cast.
Bottom line: Inner peace and a voucher for a free yoga class were nice perks, but our gorgeous skin was the real payoff.

WACO (December 5, 2012)--A Waco man was in the McLennan County Jail Wednesday after an incident in which a man was beaten with a claw hammer.
Michael Jason Portillo, 36, was ordered held in lieu of bonds totaling $250,000 charged with burglary of a habitation with intent to commit assault.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said officers were sent at around 3:30 a.m. Saturday to a residence in the 2300 block of Washington Avenue after police received a 911 call about a 36-year-old man being beaten with a hammer.
When officers arrived a 33-year-old woman told them her estranged husband had come into the residence while she and the other man were asleep and began beating the man with a claw hammer.
The woman also reported she was pushed.
The attacker had fled, but officers found him outside the residence and tried to arrest him.
The suspect, who Swanton said was 5-feet, 6-inches tall and weighed about 330 pounds, resisted arrest and attempted to pull two knives out of his pockets and attack officers.
The officers at the scene used a stun gun to bring the suspect under control and handcuffed him.
The man who was attacked had a gash on his head but he refused medical attention, Swanton said.

She woke up, feeling strange. Strange as when she woke seeing the imposter holding his sword over her throat. As luck would have it, there was a knock on her door. She opened the door. King Arthur was at her door.
"I have some disturbing news. News that was told to me by Merlin himself." he said, with great urgency.
"What is it?" she asked.
"There has been great destruction in the land. That much anyone would've know. Merlin says he has reason to believe that you alone can stop this 'plague of destruction'. Therefore, you will receive training in fighting in 3 ways: archery, fencing and, last but not least, wizardry. But, you must tell no one of your trainer nor training." King Arthur said.
"Yes, My Lord." she replied, fully committed.
So, she received 18 weeks of training under Merlin's direction. Now, she was ready to fight this threat. She girded a sword on her belt, a quiver of arrows around her right shoulder and a bow around the quiver. And, there a staff in her left hand.
She started her journey, roaming the country, searching for the source of this threat.
A man paced back and forth in a tower. How would he beat that girl in his vision? She overcame all of his traps and would conquer him, if she continued on the light path. But, if he led her to the dark path, there would be no end to his plague of destruction.
She set up camp for the night. After having a little fire going, she went to bed. But, when she woke up the next morning, the sun nor the moon were visible. Yet, this place had only minimum illumination. She now noticed the manacles, which were directly attached to the wall, around her hands. She was chained to the cement wall of this dark place. She realized that she was only wearing a dark red shoulderless top and pants, without her weapons anywhere in sight. The man came before her, torturing her with his advanced Dark Magic.
"So, you avoided your death months ago? It doesn't matter what you do to me. I will never turn to the dark path." She said, defiantly.
"Your resolve is strong and praiseworthy. But, unfortunately for you, useless. You will join me. This is but a taste to whet your hunger for the dark path. And when you join me, it will be willingly." the man replied, torturing her more while her screams escaped into the dark night.
"So, you wanted to see me?" he asked.
"Yes." she replied. "I submit to the dark path and your teachings."
"Very good." He said.
He made the manacles release her hands just by waving his hand. He gave a new red robe.
"Now, we must hurry if we are to finish the plague." he said, running towards the stairs to the top of the tower.
She drew her sword against him.
"You truly thought that I wouldn't suspect a betrayal from you? You thought that you could win?" he said, staring forward.
She started to duel with him. He fought against her with his sword. After they had fought for hours, the Deceiver used his sword to knock the sword a few feet away from her. She did back flips to her sword. She threw her hidden dagger at him, hitting him right in the stomach. He was bleeding rapidly. He appeared to be dead. She left the tower, having defeated this threat.
A few hours after she returned to the castle, Merlin ran into her room with haste.
"Merlin?" she asked.
"Elizabeth, you've got to come back with me." Merlin said.
"Where?" Elizabeth said.
"Back to the tower..."

Let $F$ a field and $p(x)$ an irreducible polynomial in $F[x]$.
I'm trying to prove that $F[x]/(p(x))$ is an extension of $F$. I know there are two approaches. Either we can prove that $F$ is a subset of $F[x]/(p(x))$ (because $F[x]/(p(x))$ is a field) or we can show that there is an embedding between $F$ and $F[x]/(p(x))$.
I've tried the both cases, it seems to be easy, but I didn't get to solve it. Maybe because I'm a really beginner in this subject. I need help...

Mod trouble
Hi all,
So, Im having problem recently with gta IV + new cars. Its working for a while then few cars later all you got is "gta iv has stopped working". Back up the files to the originals, gta doesn't even run. Same with 1.0.4 and 1.0.7 patch. Tried to figure out wich car could make this problem but soon or later it happens with any car. Im using Open IV 092b can it be the problem? I have win7, gta IV running in administrator mode, have the filelist.pak replaced, asi loader, scripthook, net framework4, did I miss anything that necessary to run added cars? I used to replace them one by one, rebuilding, saving, starting up game, checking out, quit, and start again but if its crash after the new car has been added, I restore the files, but the problem still exist, even if I restore all of the files and folders. Any idea?

I'm not an expert, but if the crashing continues even after restoring your backups, then I would assume that either something else is causing the crashes, or your GTA4 installation was somehow damaged.
Try removing ALL of your mods and see if the crashing stops. If so, add each mod again one by one until the crashing comes back to find the culprit.
If the crashing continues even with all mods removed, I guess you'll have to reinstall the game.

I'm attempting to set up aether mod. however, my personal winRar test has run out. I am trying to make use of peazip, however i can't copy/paste, or even drag from one windowpane to the additional.

Everything has already been really frustrating recently, with me which stuff.... any kind of suggestions? I had been following the video step-by-step. Should you immediate me personally to a link taht had been on the recognized line with regard to aether, I will neglected, simply because I attempted it already.

If a large creature dies, does its corpse still occupy a 10x10 area?
How does this affect movement and combat, specifically charging?
If a large creature dies, does its corpse still occupy a 10x10 area?
How does this affect movement and combat, specifically charging?
Since a helpless creature does not block movement, a corpse shouldn't normally impede movement either. However, if the DM judges that the creature is very large, it may count as an "obstacle", which would impede movement. From the SRD:
If the DM rules that it is an obstacle, then the following rules apply:
A creature's body would take up the same space as if the creature was prone, so it's reasonable to conclude that a corpse takes up the same space. Since obstacle-ness is at DM's discretion, it's possible for him to rule that only some squares of the corpse are obstacles. You must pay two squares of movement to move through one square deemed an obstacle. However, can't end your square on an obstacle, which means you cannot fight from it.
You can't run or charge across obstacles, due to this rule under Hampered Movement:
I always consider squares with corpses in them to be difficult terrain, and if the creature is sizable enough (as adjudicated by me), to require a jump or climb check to bypass (or to go around...). Unless it's the PC who just killed it the swing before, in which case as a bonus for their awesomeness, I assume they were setting up their charge to the next guy as part of their skillful dispatch of this critter, and they can run on through without penalty.
There is no RAW on this, but in 3.5 we still have DMs.
Technically by the rules I believe this becomes difficult terrain, which should halve movement and prevent charging unless a PC has feats or magic items to overcome this. In our group, however, we have never subscribed to that rule and have usually always played that once a creature was dead, it no longer had any effect on the game. Not realistic, sure, but usually easier to deal with.
When I would DM, I wouldn't usually care for medium and smaller creatures. But for something with a 10' base, it varied by situation.

The Life and Work of Zora Neale Hurston
Zora Neale Hurston was born in Eatonville, Florida. Her exact birthdate is unknown, but the most reliable sources put it at either 1891 or 1901. She was the daughter of John Hurston, a Baptist preacher, and Lucy Potts Hurston, a schoolteacher. Zora was the fifth of eight children, and in her autobiography, Dust Tracks on a Road, Hurston fondly remembers growing up in an eight-room house with two big chinaberry trees shading the front gate. Eatonville was a self-governing, independent, all-black town. Her father was mayor for three terms and helped codify the town laws. Hurston grew up believing that blacks were equal, if not superior to whites, and was very proud of her heritage. Hurston used her hometown as a basis for the fictional Eatonville in Their Eyes Were Watching God and even borrowed some real names for her characters.
Hurston came to New York in 1925 after receiving an Associate's Degree from Howard University. While at Howard, she was accepted into the prestigious campus literary group and published her first story, John Redding Goes to Sea, in the campus magazine in 1921. In 1925, she submitted Drenched in Light to Opportunity magazine in New York, and it became her first nationally published piece. She then came to New York to continue her literary career. Hurston received a scholarship to Barnard and was its only black student; she graduated in 1928.
While at Barnard, Hurston developed an interest in anthropology. She studied for years and received several fellowships and grants. Her field of interest was folklore, and she used that extensively in her writings, always seeking to fuse folklore and fiction. Their Eyes Were Watching God was written in seven weeks while she was in Haiti working on a book about voodoo.
Hurston was one of the leading writers during the Harlem Renaissance, a period during the 1920s and 1930s when black writers came to the forefront of popular American culture. They were trying to repudiate the stereotypes of blacks in literature by bringing an individual character's consciousness to life. Through her associations with Opportunity, Hurston quickly became a popular guest at fashionable New York literary parties and became very friendly with Langston Hughes and other notable black writers.
Unlike many of her contemporaries, Hurston was nonpolitical and believed in art for art's sake. She wanted to express black folklore, which had long been rejected as a product of slavery, and bring it to a wider audience. In addition to her novels, Hurston wrote a play, an opera, several articles, and two anthologies of folklore. Her most famous article was called How It Feels to be Colored Me, published in 1928.
Their Eyes Were Watching God, published in 1937, was Hurston's third novel. Sadly, the novel received mostly indifferent reviews when first released, including reviews by notable contemporaries. Many of her peers, such as Richard Wright, criticized the novel's lack of social relevance. They felt that the book was not pertinent in what Mary Helen Washington called "a decade dominated by Wright and by the stormy fiction of social realism." Angered by the negative reviews, she began traveling again, and at the request of her publisher, wrote her autobiography in 1942. Her last novel, published in 1948 and called Seraph on the Swanee, was fueled by this anger and was about whites, not blacks. She felt she would be less open to criticism. Around the same time, Hurston was arrested and falsely accused of a morals violation. Although the charges were dismissed, she was demoralized and sick, and retreated to Florida. She spent the last years of her life in poverty, working in various odd jobs.
Zora Neale Hurston died on January 28, 1960. After her death, her books enjoyed a popular revival, partly due to the efforts of Alice Walker, who was greatly influenced by Hurston. Walker also edited and released a collection of Hurston's works. Today, Hurston remains one of the most influential black writers in America.

Historically I've been able to get away with making small changes to an in-house helpdesk system riding on a LAMP stack and just making a backup prior to editing.
This has no user acceptance / testing phase and I work on the live .php files directly.
However now the requirement has arisen that will require a bit more coding done, and I'm obviously not particularly happy about making these changes without a framework to support me.
What would the best way forward be? I could just make another backup I suppose.

Alistair Macaulay's recent review of an Ailey II performance is an example:
The way to survive Ailey IIs quadruple bill New Works is to concentrate on the dancers, who are young, engaging and remarkably individual. Otherwise its like an exaggerated version of too many evenings at its parent company, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, when Revelations isnt on the program: attractive dancers, limited and repetitious choreography.
Of course, not everyone will agree with Macaulay's estimation of either Ailey company -- but we have all had similar experiences with some company or other at some point in our lives. (My most recent was with Rasta Thomas's Bad Boys of Dance in their "Rock the Ballet" program.)
Has this happened to you? How do you handle such experiences? Can one distinguish between the dancing and what is being danced? Can you really enjoy and appreciate skuch a program? Do experiences like this make you feel uplifted by the quality of dance training, or despondant about the state of the art, or some wierd combination of both?
P.S. I ask because I grew up on Balanchine in New York, which makes me tend to think of dancers as servants of the choreography. This means I myself have a hard time separating the two.

The Cube
The development of "the Cube" marked the final phase to the renowned luxury development, The Mailbox.
The building, valued at over £100 million, was designed by internationally renowned architects MAKE. Their design team, led by Ken Shuttleworth, (formerly of Foster and Partners), created a 17-storey cube aimed at providing a spectacular contrast to the increasing number of towers appearing on the Birmingham cityscape.
Inside, the Cube features a stunning open atrium that twists as it climbs the height of the 450,000sq ft building. Lined with coloured glass and with an exterior clad in shimmering metallic fretwork, the concept has visible links to Birmingham's heritage in engineering and jewellery manufacture.
The mixed-use building includes the city's first rooftop restaurant with panoramic views whilst a boutique hotel and residential apartments below feature internal views over the twisting atrium. Further down are high specification Grade A office space and more exclusive retail and waterside restaurants at the base.
The building is located between The Mailbox cafebars and restaurants, Washington Wharf apartments, Commercial Street and the Birmingham Worcester canal. A new 24-hour entrance to The Mailbox development has been situated here and as such, the building provides new city linkages from the Attwood Green area to the convention quarter and the city beyond.
Transforming what was a predominantly derelict site adjacent to The Mailbox The Cube has encouraged new investment into this area of the city, much as The Mailbox triggered a myriad of residential developments in and around the area after opening in late 2000.

Gov. Steve Beshear's office has said the minor eye surgery he underwent Thursday is not expected to interrupt his regular schedule.
The successful surgery removed some scar tissue that developed after last November's outpatient procedure to repair a detached retina. Beshear had his surgery in Lexington in November after he woke up one morning and had trouble seeing out of one eye.
He did not travel for a few days after his surgery in November to recuperate.

Let $A$ be a subset of ${\mathbb N}$ with positive upper-Banach density, and for each integer $k\geq3$, define $R_k=R_k(A)$ to be the smallest positive integer $r$ such that $A$ contains a length $k$ arithmetic progression
$$ \{a, a+r, a+2r, \dots, a+(k-1)r\}. $$
Thus, the finiteness of $R_k$ is Szemeredi's theorem.
What, if anything, is known about how $R_k$ grows? More precisely, the question I am most interested in, without any luck so far, is the following:
Does there exist an example of a set $A$ for which $R_k$ grows with $k$, with, if possible, a lower bound on $R_k$? This lower bound may depend on $A$, but I am hoping for an explicit dependence on $k$.
If there are results in the other direction -- upper bounds on $R_k$ -- I would be interested to hear about those as well. Such a result could be considered a quantitative strengthening of Szemeredi's theorem, so perhaps this is asking for a lot.

MANHATTAN — Three additional Kansas Capital Area Chapter volunteers have been deployed to Orlando, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Jody Portuese, Crystal Belt, and Virgil Smail, are all Red Cross volunteers in the Manhattan area who will join hundreds of other trained Red Cross workers from across the nation to prepare and provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance.
People with friends or family in the path of the storm should encourage them to download a newly-developed Red Cross Hurricane app which puts real-time information on hurricane safety at someone's fingertips. The Hurricane App can be found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for the American Red Cross.
The Red Cross also has two tools to help people stay in touch in times of emergency. In the Red Cross Hurricane App, the one-touch "I'm Safe" button lets someone use social media outlets to let family and friends know they're okay. The Red Cross Safe and Well website at www.redcross.org/safeandwell is a secure and easy-to-use place where concerned family and friends can search the list of those who have registered themselves as "safe and well."
People can help those affected by disasters like tropical storms, hurricanes, floods and wildfires, as well as countless crises at home and around the country, by making a donation at www.redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED-CROSS, or texting the word "REDCROSS" to 90999 to make a $10 contribution.

I've noted that IDE support is nowhere near as good, but the language itself supports functional programming idioms much more cleanly.

I've been programming Scala for more than one year now, so I'll try to set myself back a year to answer this question.
The points above were more or less what I thought of Scala before I started to learn it.
In the course of a year, here is what I found out:
Well, I think Scala is too complex. It feels like C++ in that it has a myriad of different ways of doing things. Some would call this "richness", "expressiveness" or "power", but your mileage may vary. In many real world projects you would have to artificially limit what language features you're going to use and what not, so that all developers involved could speak the same subset of the language.
For functional programming I prefer Clojure, which is way simpler than Scala.
Let the holy war begin ;-)
About one year ago, as I became more and more frustrated about the future of my startup's products if I continued to use Java, I decided to give Scala a try. I was already programming in JavaScript and Python at the time, Ruby was also a good alternative, but I was looking for a statically typed language, preferably one that could run on the JVM.
I really tried to like Scala, I really did, but I found it's code utterly ugly and hard to understand. I dramatically wondered that if Scala was our best answer to Java, then I was surely screwed and sentenced to continue working with a language I didn't liked after all...
Fortunately, not too long afterwards, I found out about Fantom. Oh man, did I loved it! To me, it was like american's splendor answer to german bureaucracy! It matched the requirements I was looking for in Scala, but much more elegantly. It had Vim, Eclipse and Netbeans integration, a nice web framework, mature products running with it, a small but incredibly helpful community... Dynamic and Static typing! I rejoiced!
(I could continue but this post is meant to be about Scala, not Fantom, so I stop here. My preference is clear, nevertheless there's this post comparing the two. I never could understand why Fantom gets so little attention when compared to Scala. But apparently I'm not the only one, if you listen to this podcast [mp3] until the end.)
When I initially dabbled with Scala 2 years ago, it looked alien and intimidating to me. At some point I discovered that the core language is actually much simpler than Java, but its syntax and semantics are so flexible that you can create new language constructs like it, even without a macro feature. I have since completely switched to Scala for all my Java projects, because it lets me write without too much boilerplate code.
I like Clojure, but there are situations, where the platform needs you to compile to static bytecode (Android, applets, ...) and while you can do that, in Scala, it's just there.
While Scala lets you solve many problems in a functional way, I often find problems where using classes feels more natural. That makes things a bit more complex, but nowhere near the complexities and pains of C++.
The biggest takeaway for me when I really started learning the language was that I could program just I did in Java, just without the noise (a little bit like when you start Groovy), but eventually you want to try to dive deeper into the power of the language - it grows with you.
About the IDE question: After using Emacs for everything, all my IDE issues went away :-)
I like Scala for many reasons, but there is one that is often overlooked: its simplicity.
Scala might not be as simple as, say, Oberon, but it is quite a lot simpler than some other languages. The Scala Language Specification is ~160 pages, the Java Language Specification is ~600 (just the language, not the JVM or the libraries!), the ECMA-334 C# Language Specification (which AFAIK corresponds to a subset of Visual C# 2.0) is ~440 pages (this is without stuff like LINQ query comprehensions, lambda expressions, extension methods, generic co- and contravariance,
Scala is complex. No way around it! Its syntax is extremely flexible and can be customized in numerous ways (above all operators / infix notation) - and the type system has more different features than any other language I know.
So things aren't that straight as e.g. in Haskell: Typeclasses to cover them all.
As Scala tries to put together functional programming, OO, procedural programming and java libraries as well as own ideas, we finally end up with lots of concepts that somehow seem to go "in the same direction":
Choosing among them seems difficult at first and one might easily wonder if one has found the correct solution to some problem. It's even easily possible to produce hacky stuff by abusing
But the interesting thing is: Scala works. It's sometimes hard to understand why (especially figuring out through what implicit conversions + inheritance + ... some object has got functionality
Write Scala as straightforward as possible and it will work. Don't get confused by everything that is possible and just use what you need. And if you need something, you can be sure that somehow Scala has it ;)
And the better you get, the more you'll be able to customize Scala with operators, implicits, monads, funky syntax ... and finally get something close to a DSL that will perfectly address your problem.
After all, you have always the possibility to just use Scala as a much much better Java with cleaner, easier syntax, type inference and some functional features.
Here is what sucks about Scala:
To avoid being mistaken for a Scala-hater, here is what I love about it:
It's an excellent language that is simpler than Java in many ways.
Most people won't like it, Java programmer or not, for the same reasons that most people, programmers or not, don't like learning new programming languages. I suspect that most people who learned a programming language did not even like learning that.
If you're worried about a language being as complicated as C++, I would avoid Clojure like the plague. Whining that Scala is more complicated than Clojure has become the fallback argument for people who are completely ignorant regarding one or both languages.
Clojure has macros, which means you can alter the language's syntax as much as you want, giving you not just "a myriad of different ways of doing things" but an almost infinite number of ways of doing things. And none of this new syntax the programmers are creating with the macros will be documented anywhere in the language specification.
"But we can avoid using macros or regulate which ones are allowed in our code", you say. Congratulations, you're now having "to artificially limit what language features you're going to use and what not", which is exactly what the babbling idiots who are using Clojure of Scala used as their reason for avoiding Scala to begin with.
I really like the Scala library's more granular types. It seems like the new collections library was well thought-out. I also like how it reduces the amount of code required for simple classes, and the functional concepts it adds. Its type inference is also very helpful. It feels like Java without the training wheels. After using C# for a while, Scala actually feels like a competitor, with Java still useful but being left behind.
As a Java programmer, I initially found Scala interesting. However, after dabbling with it for awhile (and running into nearly all the positives/negatives already listed by others), I was left feeling very "meh" towards it. The language improvements are offset by the lower availability of toolsets. I just couldn't come up with any defining reason to switch over. It's good, but it's not "better enough" to make a case for switching. Doesn't have that subjective excitement factor either (like Clojure seems to).

The Wife's Dream Master Closet
After getting quotes from several companies, I couldn't believe the cost to get a custom master closet. I looked at some prefab systems made of particleboard with a cheap veneer or sticker over the top. These systems simply hung on the wall and didn't provide that true built-in look that I was wanting. So I decided to design and built my own from scratch. I took the time to layout the project, but as with any project it evolved during the construction process. I was able to retrofit two existing dresser that I had into the design
Essentially you are building a series of boxes that you then attached together. I built a platform for the units to sit on to give the look of a cabinet toe-kick. Once the units were in I then installed a face-frame made from 1x4 boards. This gives the unit a more substantial look and hides the edges of the plywood.
I had the two dressers already. I cut off the legs, painted them and installed new hardware. Allowing the dressers to stick out slightly further than the closet units added some depth and gave a real nice built in look.
It took awhile to sand and paint all the wood. It took something like 3 gallons of paint and was the most time consuming part of the project. 17 sheets of plywood, 500 linear foot of face framing and a few hundred wood screws later....I am very happy with the end results.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
Wikipedia, bitches. For the record, the acronyms tDCS and TDCS are both in use in academia, and I think the former is stupid because they're just trying to be cool like iPhones and fMRI. The word transcranial is obviously abbreviated, and when we abbreviate words in an acronym, we capitalize them. So if you move this page to tDCS, I will move it back. --Hurtstotouchfire 01:14, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
Academic publications
The best collection of academic study abstracts is here. (note that we should snatch this and put a copy somewhere, since we have no clue who this dropbox account belongs to or how long access will stay stable. The file has credit within, so I don't think it's evil. I will try to remember to email the creator and make sure he has no issues with same) - JPW
There are quite a few other abstracts from more recent work that aren't included here, including the stuff from the most recent big neuro yearly powwow in DC. (Kelly, do you still have the links to those papers from the military guys at Wright-Patterson?) - JPW
- I have no crapping idea. --Hurtstotouchfire 01:14, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
- link to reddit thread here.
The basic circuit for TDCS is ridiculously simple. We are creating a 2ma DC current and running it through 2 inch square or round electrodes that are then connected to the human body. There are various configurations that can be used to place the pads, but the most common is placing the active electrode over the area of the skull corresponding to the brain region to be effected and the other electrode, called the return electrode, is placed on the opposite shoulder. Using the anode, or positive electrode, over the brain will stimulate the target region. The cathode, or negative electrode, will retard the brain region. A standard simulation time in most research is 20 minute sessions. The effect, depending on the type of stimulation and region seems to last up to an hour after the stimulation is removed. Again, depending on the type and location of the stimulation, repeated exposure daily for up to 9 sessions can cause the effects to persist for 30 days or longer in depression studies.
The simplest working circuit for this is a pair of 9v batteries in series, an LM334 current limiter and a fixed resistor across the LM334 reference and output to set the 2ma limit. A better circuit involves replacing the fixed resistor with a 200 ohm pot and adding an ammeter anywhere in series. One of the better designs of this nature is located here. Although the fuse in the circuit is of unlikely utility in reality.
A fairly simple, slightly unsafe and highly voltage limited arduino project that is somewhat clever is located here.
The cadillac of designs here would probably look something like an arduino controlling a SPI variable resistor connected to an LM334 for current control, another LM334 with a fixed resistor to provide failure protection (a fuse is going to blow too slowly and fuses that small are expensive and difficult to source), a shunt ammeter connected back to the Arduino and a display/input to allow the user to set different times, current levels, sham stimulation and so on. Also we would want to put a boost transformer on the battery supply in order to boost the output voltage being used. Discussion of why we want to up the voltage here will happen in the section on electrodes.
(need to add a long discussion about electrodes here, since there is more complexity in the electrodes than the circuit itself)

I'm trying to build a canvas iframe application for Facebook. The app needs to do a couple of things:
- Within Facebook display a leaderboard comparing you to your friends
- Post messages to your wall
Facebook recommend building all new apps as iframe apps, hence using this API. I've downloaded the PHP SDK and installed the example as my app.
I'm confused as to why the example.php presents a login button to a user - isn't the idea that the current user is already logged into Facebook?
My current solution redirects the user to http://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize for authorisation, then grabs the OAuth token (for posting messages later) and heads back to an application page within the Facebook canvas.
Is this really the only way to get the current Facebook user associated with my app, and to get permissions for posting messages later?

Cascading Combo Box Example
My *first* contribution to the examples - hopefully not the last :-)
I finally got my cascading combo boxes working perfectly (uh - and learned much in the process through trial and error). You can adapt this to interface with pretty much any sql database information you may have ... with a little more work i guess this could be configured for any amount of boxes. This example is your standard 'Country/Region/City' selection. If you have any questions feel free to drop me a line.
Note that all references are specific to my application - I prefer XML data streams - you can modify to suite your needs.
// // Data Stores // var icaGeoDataCountryStore = new Ext.data.Store({ autoLoad: true, pruneModifiedRecords: true, url: '/ica/icaGetGeoData.php', reader: new Ext.data.XmlReader( { record: "country", id: "countryName" }, [ 'countryId', 'countryName' ] ) }); var icaGeoDataRegionStore = new Ext.data.Store({ pruneModifiedRecords: true, url: '/ica/icaGetGeoData.php', reader: new Ext.data.XmlReader( { record: "region", id: "regionName" }, [ 'regionId', 'regionName' ] ) }); var icaGeoDataCityStore = new Ext.data.Store({ pruneModifiedRecords: true, url: '/ica/icaGetGeoData.php', reader: new Ext.data.XmlReader({ record: "city", id: "cityName" }, [ 'cityId', 'cityName' ] ) }); // // GeoData Combo Box Definitions // var icaGeoDataCountryCB = new Ext.form.ComboBox({ id: 'icaGeoDataCountry', name: 'country', fieldLabel: 'Country', store: icaGeoDataCountryStore, displayField: 'countryName', mode: 'local', width: 110, editable: false, emptyText: 'Select a country', triggerAction: 'all', listeners: { 'select' : function(cmb, rec, idx) { region = Ext.getCmp('icaGeoDataRegion'); region.clearValue(); region.store.load({ params: {'gd_countryname': Ext.getCmp('icaGeoDataCountry').getValue() } }); region.enable(); city = Ext.getCmp('icaGeoDataCity'); city.clearValue(); city.store.removeAll(); city.disable(); } } }); var icaGeoDataRegionCB = new Ext.form.ComboBox({ id: 'icaGeoDataRegion', name: 'region', fieldLabel: 'Region', store: icaGeoDataRegionStore, displayField: 'regionName', mode: 'local', width: 110, editable: false, emptyText: 'Select a region', triggerAction: 'all', disabled: true, listeners: { 'select': function(cmb, data, idx) { city = Ext.getCmp('icaGeoDataCity'); city.clearValue(); city.store.load({ params: { 'gd_countryname': Ext.getCmp('icaGeoDataCountry').getValue(), 'gd_regionname': Ext.getCmp('icaGeoDataRegion').getValue() } }); city.enable(); } } }); var icaGeoDataCityCB = new Ext.form.ComboBox({ id: 'icaGeoDataCity', name: 'city', fieldLabel: 'City', store: icaGeoDataCityStore, displayField: 'cityName', mode: 'local', width: 110, editable: false, emptyText: 'Select a city', triggerAction: 'all', disabled: true }); var icaGeoDataPanel = new Ext.FormPanel({ id: 'gdPanel', width: 200, labelWidth: 60, items:[ icaGeoDataCountryCB, icaGeoDataRegionCB, icaGeoDataCityCB ] });

Here is how I've been setting up cascading combo boxes:
My function goes like this:
Ext.ux.SetCascading = function(parent, child) { child.setDisabled(!parent.isValid()); parent.on('change', function() { child.lastQuery = null; child.clearValue(); child.setDisabled(!parent.isValid()); }); child.on('focus', function() { if(!child.disabled) { var parentValue = parent.getValue(); var childParams = child.store.baseParams; if(parentValue != childParams.ScopeId) { childParams.ScopeId = parentValue; child.clearValue(); child.lastQuery = null; if(child.mode != 'local') { child.store.removeAll(); } } } }); };
Then to setup a cascading combo, here is what I do:
Ext.ux.SetCascading(country, place);
Working sample can be seen at http://www.durlabh.com/kundli/default.aspx
In this live example, for remote combo of birth place, I'm also using the extenstion
This improves the performance of remote combo. I also plan to use an extension similar to http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36743 to improve the user experience on remote combo when they are typing in the values and just press Tab while combo's remote store is still loading.

Thanks mscdex for pointing it out. It should be working fine now.
2 Feb 2009 1:54 PM #8
I've spent few hours figuring this out ...
I made a function that returns JsonStore object. And on select I call this function with params. However this was not working. Behavior of the combo was very strange. It made a request with correct params and got a proper json response. The combo display was not changed but values behind were. I think it could be a bug, but I'm not familiar with JS or ExtJs to make such a statement.
I solve my problem by using
modelDest.store.reload({ params: { countryId: combo.getValue() } });

How to deal with cascade combo box on a grid with loaded values
I was wondering about this extension and I'm trying to apply that on a grid. It is working good to add data to the database, but I found a problem. When I try to edit a data set that cames from the database, the child combo cannot get the ScopeId from his parent. So, the question is how to get the already selected value from the parent combo without focus on it, let me show a example:
I have states and city, if you select states the field city will change too, but if I only want to change the city value to another city on the same state, after this grid was loaded from database, how to deal with that?

I have a problem with my second xcombo (thx to durlabh) : When I select a value in the calculated dropdown list, the textfield of my combo remains blank although the right value is passed.
Any clue ?

A friend of mine accidentally left a carton of eggs on her counter, unrefrigerated, for three days. The eggs had been previously refrigerated both at the store and at home. Now she's planning to do some more cooking which requires eggs, and is wondering if it's still safe to use them for baking. I believe she is planning on baking cookies with them, so they would be baked at fairly high temperatures for probably at least 10 minutes. Would this be safe, or are eggs left unrefrigerated for that long not safe for consumption?
The USDA, generally on the very safe but a bit paranoid end of the spectrum, says:
(They also say some very sad things about Easter egg hunts.)
So if you're being strict, three days would be way too long. In reality, you'd probably be okay. The chances of getting salmonella are definitely higher, but are presumably still small (though I can't say exactly how small, of course). Personally, given the price of a dozen eggs, I'd probably play it safe.
Another answer mentions that in the UK eggs are stored at room temperature. That's true in quite a lot of places, but I'm guessing that they've avoided the large temperature swing issue mentioned by the FDA, so if your friend's eggs were refrigerated in the store, the situation's not quite the same as in the UK.
I never refrigerate eggs. They are marked for room temperature storage in UK and perfectly safe up to (and after) the use by date. Three days should be no problem unless you live somewhere really hot.
In Italy eggs are usually sold in non refrigerated aisles, and they generally last no less than a couple of weeks. There is on this regard an EU regulation that more or less says what the american FDA is saying. It suggests, however, not to refrigerate eggs before sale, so that helps with bacteria and such.
I don't know whether eggs in the USA are sold refrigerated or not, but if they aren't, and your friend didn't put them in the refrigerator there is a good chance that they could be used without any problem.
Keep in mind, however, that salmonella virus is basically neutralized by high temperatures, so if she plans to bake cookies there shouldn't be any problem. According to USDA FSIS a temperature of 160F should be enough to neutralize the virus.
Mother Earth News ran a pretty comprehensive test of egg storage methods back in 1977. The room-temperature eggs lasted well over a month before starting to degrade.
