Maine Gov. LePage Asks For 'Shared Sacrifice,' But Is Exempt From His Own Pension Changes
As part of his budget, LePage proposed raising the retirement age for public employees and freezing their cost-of-living adjustments. He also increased the amount that public employees are required to pay into their pension fund from 7.65 percent to 9.65 percent, which constitutes a cut in take-home pay for these employees. However, as Mike Tipping at the Kennebec Journal reported, the change doesn't apply to LePage's own compensation:
One public employee currently paying 7.65 percent, however, won't see an increase.
The governor has exempted himself…If LePage faced the same increase as state employees, it would cost him $5,880 over his term.
LePage, upon leaving office, will be eligible for a $26,000 annual pension. A Maine teacher has to work for 25 years to receive the same benefit. Adding insult to injury, the money raised from increased employee contributions won't even go towards immediately shoring up the state's pension system, but "will instead pay for other budget priorities, including $203 million in tax cuts."
The increased attention on LePage's treatment of his own compensation led state finance commission Sawin Millet to say, "I won't speak for where [LePage] would be on it, but I suspect that he's not aloof from, or opposed to, considering that idea for himself." "I intend to have that conversation, given the stories that have occurred over the weekend," Millet added. As the Lewiston Sun Journal reported, "previous governors have reportedly sought separate statutory changes to their compensation to match their budget messaging."

Unanswered: Referencing cordova-2.2.0.js in app.json js object causes app not to start
I am working on a project using Sencha Touch 2.1 wrapped in Phonegap 2.2.0.
If (as advised) I specify the phonegap JS file as a dependency in the app.json file, rather than loading it as a script tag in index.html, upon fresh install to the iOS Simulator, the app starts, but the launch function is not fired. It subsequently works properly after starting it again.
If I remove the app from the simulator and re-install it, the problem always recurs on first execution.
If I remove the reference from app.json and put it as a script tag in index.html, it seems to work properly.
Any ideas as to what is going on here?

I've tried every which way to replicate this but I can't. Do you see this condition when targeting a specific scheme in Xcode? Have you tried to clean the simulator by any/all the following?:
In Xcode, go to Window > Organizer, then delete Derived Data.
In Xcode, use the key sequence Command+Option+Shift+K to clean the build
In iOS Simulator, go to iOS Simulator > Reset Content and Settings...
Have you used weinre in an extra attempt to debug?

I am having trouble understanding how logarithms work. If
$\log_a x = n$ that is the same as $a^n = x$
So if that is true than the log rule
$\log_b(x^n) = n \log_b x$ is the same as $a^z = x^n$ which is the same as $n(a^z) = x$
But using numbers for this it is not true. What went wrong?

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.

Moreover, how-come scientist know that muon-neutrino are different from electron-neutrino when they didn't even know what the difference was? Did they interact differently with other particles?
The Standard Model of paticle physics is a shorthand description of data gathered laboriously over half a century. From the first decays observed, in cosmic rays and cloud chambers, it was obvious that the mediating force was different than the electromagnetic or the nuclear force. Decays are mediated by weak interactions, a conclusion that explained in a single format all observed decays.
This image of neutron decay shows the process. It is a three body decay, and that is an experimental point because the momentum distributions of two body and three body decays are different. Using energy conservation and four momentum balance at first it seemed that the neutrinos had zero mass, and for many years that was the hypothesis, until neutrino oscillations were observed , but that is another story.
Eventually beams of neutrinos were created and it was affirmed that muon neutrinos scattering on protons created muons, whereas electron neutrinos created electrons. Yes they interact differently for each species, muon, electron , tau. Thus the ground was laid for the SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) symmetry which encompasses all the quantum number data of the observed up to now particles in a single standard model.
Firstly, the mass of electron neutrino is different than muon neutrino. The mass of electron neutrino is less than 2.2 eV and the mass of muon neutrino is less than 170 KeV.
From the interaction side of view, electron neutrino is created along with the lepton "electron". On the other hand,muon neutrino is created with the lepton "muon". Most important part is that any flavors of neutrino is created only with its associated lepton.
eg: $n\rightarrow p^++e^-+\bar{\nu}_e$
Here, you can see that electron anti-neutrino is created with the electron. And you also see that in a reaction, suppose muon neutrino is created with electron.But,it is not possible because the conservation of lepton number then will be violated.

Possible to add an icon in textfield?
I have a textfield to input search string.
I added default text.
Is there a way I can add 'search icon' in left corner of textfield?
- usually we see in yahoo mail search, firebug search fields.

Use a css background image and left padding for that (you'll loose the gradient gray background though).

I was using the same until yesterday. But in FF the 'x' icon was showing before the text field and also when I tried to add a new enable/disable icon it was hidden behind the trigger field.
So, I have changed the code to use textfield.
Can you share the code to generate the trigger field as in your attachment?
5 Nov 2009 1:52 AM #17
do you want the all the code - trigger field + appended field - or you only need the trigger field - with the search button?
5 Nov 2009 1:55 AM #18
trigger field + appended field please.
because i have trigger field + icon.
icon is to enable/disable the trigger field.

If the trigger shows on the left over the input field then the combobox was rendered when it had no size (width=0). This is also the case when the combobox is rendered inside a display:none container.
The most common cause is that the combobox is rendered inside a card layout (e.g. TabPanel) or inside a collapsed panel.
For a card layout (TabPanel) you can solve this by setting the card (tabpage) to hideMode:'offsets'.

Easy Duct Tape Garland
Its FINALLY beginning to look like Christmas at the Gublers!!! Hoorah! I am so excited to show you guys what I have been up to the last few days!! So remember my DIY Industrial Shelves? I have a secret. It didn't end there…I made one huge one on the opposite side of the room to take the place of the mantel that I gave up when I threw out the Faux Fireplace. So those non mantle dwellers listen up, you can have a GREAT place to merrify your house too!
Fun right?!! So today we are going to talk about the garland. I LOVE a good red and white Christmas, but for some reason I just cant make it happen in my house…so this year we are going with lots of colors (my favorite of which is Hot Pink.) Do you do this too? I sure hope so!!
I am still on my southwesty tribal kick and so triangles (though not your typical holiday décor) are right up my alley. To make this simple garland you need 3 things.
Tissue Paper
If you are looking for white duct tape FYI its by the silver and not in the millions of colors and patterned Scotch Duct Tape. (I may or may not have figured this out after tracking down an employee to help me….)
Cut small squares off of your roll and cut them in 1/2 diagonally (making a triangle). Also cut a little bit larger squares out of your tissue paper and cut them diagonally. You want to make sure that they are bigger than your duct tape triangles! This is SUCH an easy project my daughters loved helping me do it!
Stick them to your string (my string was left over from my String Art project) I found it was easier to stick them right to the table (don't push too hard!) that way you can line them up nice and straight.
Then just flip them around and stick your tissue paper triangles on the backside. They don't have to be perfect, in fact that is sort of the fun handmade quality of them!!
Now if that wasn't simple enough this next garland tutorial is 1000x easier!
All you need is:
Silver Cellophane Tissue Paper (I found mine at Target in their Christmas section)
Cut your cellophane into strips the width of your duct tape. Speed demon trick is to keep it folded out of the package and use a rotary cutter to cut the pieces.
Lay out your duct tape sticky side up on a flat surface
Make sure your cellophane is lined up over your duct tape and carefully put it down
Fold your duct tape in 1/2 with the silver side in and cut lots and lots of cute little fringes.
Unfold it and give it a little twist!
These projects will literally cost you pennies and they look so FUN!
Merry sign tutorial coming tomorrow!!

Love Your Guts, Mandi

Pug's supermini has received a midlife revamp, with new engines and, um, paint. Tom Harrison reports
France's Fiesta ST rival gets a little more power and a proper diff. Tom Harrison investigates
Impressive environmental credentials, decent build quality, nicely detailed – can this really be a Peugeot?
What we say:
Peugeot needed to be bold to regain ground in a sector it once led. Say bonjour to the new 208
What is it?
At last, Peugeot looks like it has reignited the supermini magic it once possessed by the bucketload. Replacing the dreary 207 is the all-new 208, its reinvention of the supermini, a car that looks back to the 205 for design cues but also looks forward in finish, engineering and interior features. Mediocre is out, appealingly ambitious is in – with those sharply-cut lines playing a major part in the car's allure.
Arguably Peugeot's most important new car launch in years, the 208 is a genuine rethink rather than a fresh set of clothes over what's gone before. It's lighter than the chubby 207 and is more aerodynamic, both of which help deliver a big reduction in CO2 emissions. It is also, get this, both shorter and lower than the car it replaces. Despite this, it's bigger inside. Now that really IS clever.
This is the important bit, since there have been a fair few people who remember the gorgeous fluency of the 205 and lament the dullness of the 207. And the 208 is… pretty bloomin' good actually. It feels light, no doubt a direct result of a weight loss of well over 100kg over the 207, but with an impressive ability to soak through nasty roads with the poise of a bigger car. Peugeot's damping seems to have had a thorough going-over on this one. Most of the range isn't fizzy enough to exploit it, though: the GTi is the exception. And there's a further caveat or two – even though direction changes from the tiny, sporty steering wheel are dead-shot accurate, the feedback is a bit lacking. Which means that so far, if you want the best possible handling from a small car, you'll still be choosing a Fiesta.
On the inside
The 208 is clever inside as well, and this is an area Peugeot has not previously been noted for. Key to it is a rethink of dashboard architecture: the tiny steering wheel is set low and close, dials are placed far away in a pod in front of the driver and key controls have been grouped into a touchscreen on the centre console (standard on all but base Access cars). The shape of this means it is within easy reach, while its size makes it simple to use.
It's bigger inside than the 207, with Peugeot claiming particular advances for rear passenger and boot space. Importantly, it's also much better quality than its predecessor, with posher materials and a more upmarket feel.
Good-value prices are matched by impressive economy figures: up to 87g/km and 83.1mpg, in fact, while no diesel emits more than 99g/km CO2. Let's just hope all this creativity is matched by good build quality and reliability too.

TOPEKA - The Kansas Balance of State Continuum of Care is seeking volunteers to assist with the 2013 Point-In-Time (PIT) Count of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Kansas. The count, which takes place Thursday, January 24th, 2013, is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for communities receiving funding from HUD Homeless Assistance Grants.
"It's essential that we accurately capture the number of people experiencing homelessness throughout the state," said Doug Wallace, Continuum of Care Coordinator for the Kansas Statewide Homeless Coalition. "Gathering specific information on children, families and veterans, as well as individuals affected by domestic violence, mental illness and substance abuse, will help us better address the problem of homelessness in the most effective and direct way."
Volunteers helping with the count will provide client interviews to homeless persons during the seven day period following January 23rd. Each person interviewed will be asked about their housing status on January 23rd. Volunteers are needed to survey people experiencing homelessness in shelters and unsheltered locations, as well as to provide other support functions, such as data entry for the count.
The 101 counties participating in the count have been divided into regions and each region has a team leader planning activities for the region. For more information about, or to volunteer for this year's count, please contact Doug Wallace at (785) 354-4990 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Persons interested in volunteering may also contact the team leader for their region.

Pot factory proposed
Medical marijuana would be grown in old Watertown site
Ethan Ruby, owner of Theraplant, presented the company's plans to start a medical marijuana production plant at the former Keeler & Long paint factory in Watertown's business park during an Economic Development Commission meeting Thursday.
"This state has a very interesting opportunity to lead the rest of the country," Ruby said. "If it's done correctly, it's a tremendous asset."
The company will grow and process the plant into traditional buds for smoking, but hopes to transition to pills, vaporizers, tinctures and other methods of consumption, Ruby said. The company will distribute the drug in unmarked vans to state-licensed dispensaries where the product will be available to patients with a doctor's prescription and a state registration. There will be no sales on the site, Ruby said.
Ruby said security is his top concern.
"Some teenager can't throw a rock through the window and go and steal some throw a rock through the window and go and steal some plants," Watertown's Economic Development Coordinator Joseph Seacrist said.
The company has an extensive security plan which includes 160 security cameras, key pad entry, restricted room access, and security guards on the site 24 hours a day, Ruby said. The finished product will be stored in a safe, he said. When employees come in to work, they'll have to put on a suit with no pockets, he said.
"We're not concerned that they can be doing something in there that won't be carefully watched by lots of people," Seacrist said.
Ruby said he anticipates hiring 50 people in the first year and could employ over 150 at maximum capacity if he manages to secure one of the three to five coveted growing licenses he expects the state plans to issue in the first round. He expects to have competition from around a dozen other companies.
"I am putting all my time money and effort into becoming one of those," Ruby said.
The state passed legislation to allow medical marijuana in May 2012.
To apply for a license, Theraplant will have to post a $2 million bond which the state will hold for five years.
"There are incredibly high barriers to entry," Ruby said. "We see that as a good thing."
Ruby said he's raised $750,000 from angel investors for the pre-application process and has another $7 million contingent on getting a license.
If he secures a license, Ruby said he plans to purchase the building the same day and move quickly so he will be the first to get his product to market. Marijuana takes four to six months to grow, Ruby said.
He said he plans to spend about $2.5 million to purchase the building, $4 million in renovations, $800,000 to $1 million for lights and grow equipment, $100,000 to $200,000 for extraction equipment, and another large sum for the safe. All of that property will be taxable by the town.
Theraplant has had a growing facility in Denver for 3.5 years, Ruby said, which employed 29 people at its peak. Ruby said the Denver plant is ceasing production so he can concentrate on the venture in Connecticut.
The 63,443-square-foot industrial building at 865 Echo Lake Road has been empty for three or four years, Seacrist said, but has been maintained by a full-time crew.
Ruby said he liked the location on a nine acre lot because it already has an air ventilation and sprinkler system and is far from any schools.
Current owner Pittsburgh Plate Glass is asking $2.5 million for the property, originally built in 1973, according to an informational brochure.
Seacrist said he's been talking with representatives from the company for a couple of months and they seem to be "on the up and up."
"We all came away from that saying hey, this is a good thing for the town," Seacrist said. "We've done some research on his background. He's solid financially."
Connecticut's stringent regulations for growing medical marijuana are similar to those used for other pharmaceuticals, such as Oxycodone, Seacrist said.
"We just want people to understand it's not going to be a bunch of hippies sitting around growing some plants in their backyard and selling them on the street," Seacrist said.
The Economic Development Council voted unanimously to support Theraplant's proposed use for the building.
Next, the company will go to Watertown's Planning and Zoning Commission for approval.
Seacrist said the use, designated as light manufacturing by the state, meets Watertown's current zoning regulations.

In retrospect, I've rethought my statement regarding the extra cost and effort to the local constabulary when I've considered the various breweries and distilleries that exist or have existed within the state. Have the various breweries and distilleries resulted in an increased expenditures on the part of the local police? Has the presence of breweries and distilleries resulted in a significant increase of crime within the immediate environs of the breweries and distilleries? I would tend to think that as the breweries and distilleries are not primarily engaged in sales to the public, then no. The added burden of enforcement, IMHO, would fall to the actual direct vendors, although I'm sure a certain amount heightened security is necessary for the inventory. However, this is only my opinion and as I lack any data to support my supposition, is open to equally unsupported refutation. "

There are numerous other negative data sources and just as many in support of it, which is why I advise you to conduct your own research.
Aside from my objections to the use, my other concerns are about the plant production QC, affect on the quality of life of the community, tax benefits if any, the proximity to schools, possible declining property values, effective management of the plant, human resources, plant and transportation security, the thorough vetting of Ethan Ruby, and his sources of funding.
Finally, numerous law enforcement officials throughout the U.S say the medical marijuana laws represents a backdoor attempt to legalize the drug entirely, and they worry that it sends a dangerous message to teenagers that marijuana is acceptable.
Unfortunately, Ct has joined the list along with 17 other states and DC to approve these facilities and distribution centers, which IMHO will effectively allow drug dealers to hide in plain sight.
We can debate this ad infinitum but Watertown's government and residents will have to make their own call as to the merits of this proposal. "

Thank you for having taken the time to enumerate your reasons against the proposal. And while I agree with many of the negative aspects regarding usage of marijuana, could not many of the same negative aspects also be true about alcohol use/abuse?
My understanding, unless I am very mistaken, is that this facility would be for the production of marijuana for medical purposes. Per your request, I've conducted cursory research (Wikipedia, I know, I know, Wikipedia is all over the place, but I did mention that my research was cursory) regarding the medical uses of marijuana, and it does appear, per various studies to have a positive effect in the treatment of various ailments or in the amelioration of pain.
In regards to law enforcement's assertion of a back-door legalization; while I share your and the law enforcement's community's concerns, this facility would have to be a highly regulated site as marijuana is still an illegal substance in Connecticut. Additionally, any discrepancies between what was produced and what was shipped would have to be strictly accounted for, much as it is for any other firm in an industry that produces regulated products. Significant unaccounted discrepancies would likewise be subject to enforcement actions such fines and sanctions. discrepancies.

A physicians assistant at every corner writing prescriptions? The whole state of California is high? I have to admit, you do excel at hyperbole. :-)
How California has crafted its laws and regulations regarding the prescribing of medical marijuana to its patients does not dictate the manner in which our fair state of Connecticut will. Our legislators are not bound to follow California practices nor, for that matter, any other states practices.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that it is the legislature that offers up legislation for the Governor's approval or disapproval. Therefor, my opinion regarding whose intelligence is superior, Governor Malloy's or the former groppenfuehrer of Kalifornia, is irrelevant to the discussion.
Next, the article referred to 'medical' marijuana, as for use in treating patients with symptoms from illnesses or for the alleviation of pain, and not for recreational use. Marijuana is still an illegal substance within the State of Connecticut and not for sale to the general public without a doctors prescription, just as are many other drugs and pain-relievers are.
Finally, I have not the time nor the funds to fly out to California to prove or disprove your hyperbole that "On every corner there is a PA (physician Assistant) writing pot prescriptions to ANYONE who wants one." In either case, what was enacted in California does not dictate the course that Connecticut will follow.

Yes it is medical pot. Which happens to be some of the BEST pot grown. Yes only those with a prescription can buy it. That is my point. In CA anyone who wants a prescription can get one right outside the pot stores. What would lead you to believe it wont be the same here? Of course it will. We already have a huge alcohol problem, a huge problem with legal pain killers, heroin, crack. Now we want to make pot easier to get so Malloy has more tax money to BLOW on socialist programs. "

I understand that California, in addition to the beautiful sunset you've mentioned, also has some great national parks, a few very vibrant cities teeming with culture and attractions, excellent fams, vineyards, etc, etc, etc. :-)
You mention that California has some of the best pot grown? I'll have to defer to your opinion on the quality of California's marijuana. I hope you're not talking from personal experience. ;-)
I'm unfamiliar as to California's laws regarding the prescribtion of marijuana by it's licensed medical practitioners and despite my ignorance of the above, I have grave doubts on your statement that "In CA anyone who wants a prescription can get one right outside the pot stores." Something makes me believe that California has more stringent regulation regarding the prescription of marijauna than the overly lax regulatory picture that you are painting.
You ask "What would lead you to believe it wont be the same here?" I've already answered that same question for you twice already. What makes you think that repeating the same question will result in a different answer than from the times before?
You state:"Of course it will." This implies that you have the ability to foretell the future. Do you? Can you foretell what will be the headline on tomorrows paper or whether the stock market will close higher or lower tomorrow and by how much? Which major league baseball team will win the World Series? Can you answer all of these as well? For some strange reason, I don't think you can foretell any of the above events and if you can't, then what makes you so certain that you can foretell how Connecticut's medical marijuana prescription program will result?
You state: "Now we want to make pot easier to get so Malloy has more tax money to BLOW on socialist programs." The last I knew, there are no taxes imposed upon the sale of medicines and pain relievers to patients in Connecticut. Would you be so kind as to explain where this additional revenue would be deriving from? And while you're at it, also explain what socialist programs you are referring to, but also as to how you know the spending on this type of program will occur? "
conservative1 wrote on Jun 28, 2013 5:51 PM:
I meant the professionally grown pot is some of the best/strongest. Not just CA pot.
As with any other business (and pot growing/sales is very profitable), there is tax on property, employee tax, tax on the profits made. Probably a special pot growing tax.
What social program the new money will be spent on? Would just be speculation. Do you think it will be used to fix roads? Or hire police?
How many people do you think REALLY need pot legitimately in the US? 100,000? When there is a PA outside CT pot stores handing them out, you can apoligize. Pot sales in CA ALONE IS A $1.3 BILLION business!
Ever hear the saying "those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it"?

AllgedlyJulie--thank you for bringing up the elephant in the room. I guess sports has proven yet again in the community that it overshadows the victims. Perhaps when charges are brought against the April assaulters the community will embrace the notion that many others already can see. Unplug from the Matrix Steubenville residents,you attacking someone for asking an honest question is deplorable. This kind of mentality further diminishes any redeeming quality of good within the community since you obviously think you know this commenter who is local and vocal about it. To be so defensive and just plain old mean speaks volume of your character or lack thereof. Thank you again for the question ma'am. I thought the same thing when I saw the names of those who wrestled to help this team win the title. Another questionable decision by those in power in that community and it needs to be answered.

5 Classic Movies That Almost Had Terrible Endings
In a recent article about deleted scenes that would have ruined the film, we mentioned that the original ending to Clerks featured Dante getting shot to death, and the original ending of Terminator 2 featured a paradox that would have rendered the entire series impossible.
But those are hardly the only films that escaped having endings so bizarre that it's kind of amazing that they came so close to winding up in the final cut.
#5. Army of Darkness Left Ash Stranded in Time
The Evil Dead trilogy is kind of in the same category as The Big Lebowski -- its cultural impact goes way beyond what you'd expect from the modest box office. Just ask yourself -- are you more likely to hear a college kid quoting a catchphase from one of those movies, or, say, Avatar?
Who still hasn't heard the "boomstick" line?
In the third and final film, Army of Darkness, Ash (Bruce Campbell) has accidentally wound up in medieval times and just wants to get back to the present. Unsurprisingly, he winds up in a massive battle with the undead.
The Ending We Got:
After retrieving the Necronomicon, Ash uses a spell to finally go back to his own time, where he reclaims his job as a cashier at a department store. The film ends with one final attack by a possessed woman that involves a trampoline, a shotgun and a few last quips. It's a perfect, goofy, B-movie ending to the trilogy.
And just like that, Bruce Campbell earned cultural immortality.
What Did We Almost Get Instead?
In the original ending (and the one that persists as the official ending in versions of the film seen outside the U.S.), instead of using the Necronomicon, Ash is given a magic potion that will allow him to sleep for a century for every drop he drinks. Ash manages to mess up the count and drinks one drop too many.
This means, instead of waking up back home, he finds himself alone, in the ruins of some kind of apocalypse. He screams in anguish and ... then the movie ends:
The thing is, it's an appropriate ending if, say, you only watch the first film in the trilogy and then skip right to that ending. After all, the series started out as much more of a horror franchise, but stopped taking itself seriously right around the time Ash's hand got possessed and he was forced to replace it with a chainsaw. From then on, it became the goofy festival of blood, slapstick and one-liners that made Bruce Campbell a cult hero.
Oh, it still makes perfect sense to have him fuck up the potion, or to even make it so that he wakes up in a future full of zombies that need a good chainsawing. Instead it ends like some kind of Shakespearean tragedy, which is, uh, not exactly what we came to expect from the series.
There's not even a chainsaw-hand in sight.
#4. 28 Days Later, In Which Zombies Are Fairly Easily Cured
Via Mymovies.ge
After what must have been one of the worst bicycle accidents in history, Cillian Murphy's character, Jim, wakes up from a month-long coma, only to find London in ruins and bands of zomb- er, infected humans roving around and murdering survivors.
Fortunately, a group of survivors rescue Jim and tell him about the incredibly infectious disease spreading across the country. Coming in contact with even a drop of blood from someone infected with the virus they call "Rage" will turn a human into a zombie in around 30 seconds flat. It's all very scary.
The Ending We Got:
What made this take on the zombie genre special was that there was real effort to make it somewhat realistic, which served to actually make it scarier. The "zombies" aren't magically resurrected dead, but simply the result of a laboratory-engineered infection that makes them go nuts. It lends an air of plausibility to the whole thing that sets it apart from a genre that for decades had leaned on camp and goofy social commentary.
Via Soundonsight.org
Which was fine the first hundred times we saw it in a movie.
The ending plays to that -- the survivors don't find a miraculous cure for the infection and they don't "win" the war against the infected. The happy ending comes when they realize that the infection wasn't as widespread as they thought (England had been isolated from the rest of the world when the infection was discovered), and so it becomes a matter of waiting out the infected, who will starve and get weaker over time.
Basically, the same way we handle the flu.
As for Jim, he recovers from a gunshot wound, and it's implied that with time England will recover and everyone will retire to have a nice cup of afternoon tea and spotted dick.
What Did We Almost Get Instead?
There are actually several alternate endings out there, including the bleak version in which Selena and Hannah abandon a doomed Jim and walk out of the hospital, presumably to die themselves. There is no note of hope or anything of the sort, we just fade to black.
"Boy, this apocalypse sure turned out depressing."
But then we have what the filmmakers call the "Radical Alternative Ending."
In the middle of the film, one of the survivors, Frank, is infected with Rage, leaving him only a few moments of lucidity to say goodbye to his teenage daughter, Hannah, before the other survivors are forced to kill him. The scene is poignant and demonstrates again just how damning infection really is -- you only have seconds before you're gone. But in the Radical Alternative Ending, the survivors were going to keep Frank alive and in captivity. Kind of like a pet. Jim then decides to sacrifice himself by donating his (fortunately) matching blood to Frank so that his daughter could have her father back.
"I'm afraid your HMO considers this 'elective surgery'."
Stew on that for a second: The entire film is spent establishing that coming into contact with a single drop of blood from an infected person or animal means you have seconds before your mind is completely gone and you become an angry, red-eyed zombie. The disease completely wiped out all English civilization as a result. And the original ending was them fixing somebody with a simple blood transfusion? Nobody thought of that in the opening days of the outbreak?
Nah, that would have been way too much trouble.
It was director Danny Boyle who put a stop to that ending. As he put it in the DVD commentary, the rag-tag group of survivors would have to "Drain [Frank] of blood and scrub his veins with bleach" to save him. Well, hell, we would have watched that.
#3. The Abyss Was Originally More Independence Day
Via Themoviedb.org
The Abyss is the story of a group of Navy SEALs and offshore oil drillers attempting to recover a sunken nuclear submarine from the bottom of the ocean and keep it from detonating. That could have been a pretty awesome film on its own, but then aliens showed up.
This triggers a battle of wills between the military and the blue collar types as to how to treat the aliens -- as a national security threat, or as our new, glowing friends?
Nah, just kind of poke them in the forehead.
The Ending We Got:
The military guys wind up setting a timer on a nuclear warhead with the intention of killing the aliens. It's up to Ed Harris's character, Bud, to defuse it. He sacrifices himself, diving so far down that he won't have enough oxygen to make it back to base.
But, while he waits to die, the aliens show up and rescue him, moved by his sacrifice. The friendly, peace-loving aliens take him to their own aquatic spaceship to show him they intercepted his final private message to his wife, and to demonstrate their complete lack of personal boundaries. Then they take him, the crew and the entire damn rig to the surface on the hull of their ship. Roll credits.
What Did We Almost Get Instead?
In an alternate version, the aliens aren't nearly as nice. They still bring Bud to their ship, but this time they do it for passive aggressive reasons -- to tell him they're going to wipe out human civilization.
They show him how much humanity sucks through news clips of the various atrocities committed by man throughout history, and boast about how they can pick up TV reception at the bottom of the ocean. Then they show him how they intend to wipe out humanity with super-tsunamis. The massive waves then actually start forming along every coastal city of the world, in a scene that had to have been the most expensive in the film:
This ending is confusing for a lot of reasons. Were the aliens down there watching our news for years, just seething? Why did they wait to end the world until they finally had someone to drag onto their ship and chastise? That seems awfully petty for an advanced life form. Even more bizarre, this ending assumed they were swayed to save humanity because of one love letter. Surely in all that news they were watching they would have caught at least one human interest story.
Most egregious, however, is the inherent hypocrisy of the message they later send through Bud. If it "bothers them to see us hurting each other," the best solution is probably not exterminating the species. The theatrical film never depicts the aliens as anything but curious, benevolent and eventually outright helpful, but no matter how you slice it, this alternative ending just makes them into fluorescent undersea dicks. Which kind of means the crazy Navy SEAL was right to try to nuke them.
The only way to fight genocide is with more genocide.

Is the expression "coming down the pike" or "coming down the pipe"? I've always used pike, but I've heard a few people use pipe recently. I can see how both could make sense, but which is correct?

The Cambridge Dictionary of American Idioms has an entry on "coming down the pike", and says that it's "based on the literal meaning of pike (a large road)". It does not have an entry on "coming down the pipe".
That being said, Google returns 7 million results for the former, and 5 million results for the latter.
In other words, the expression with "pike" is the original one, but the "pipe" variant cannot be labeled as "wrong" at this point in time. Both are widely used and understood.
Basing on the Corpus of Contemporary American English, coming down the pipe is more used when speaking, and in magazines; it is also used more frequently since 2000.
Coming down the pike is also found in the Corpus of Contemporary American English.
It is used more frequently when speaking, and in magazines; it is used more frequently between 1995–2000 and 2005–2010.
Comparing coming down the pipe and coming down the pike, the most used phrase (as reported by the CoCA) is coming down the pike, which is used more frequently in all the 1995–2010 period.
The New Oxford American Dictionary reports that the phrase coming down the pike means appear on the scene, come to notice. The NOAD doesn't report the meaning of coming down the pipe.
The original expression was "coming down the pike". Searching Google books for "coming down the pike" in the 1950s, you find a number of things metaphorically coming down the pike, as well as a number of things literally approaching on large roads. In the same time frame, the only thing that Google finds "coming down the pipe" is water. There also seem to be one or two metaphorical references to "coming down the pike" in earlier decades.

Communal Planning Page For ZiP02
This is an open and transparent page for anyone who wants to be part of the second issue of ZiP: Zine in Progress You are encouraged to post your ideas, suggestions, and comments. It's an online complement to the weekly zine planning meetings we're starting at Noisebridge (see front page).
ZiP02 will come out on April Fool's Day (April 1st), 2012.
Cover Image What will it be? Tony is working on one idea that involves M's Thai/Indian mythology cards (Ramayana) - but that's not set in stone
ZiP01 was folio print on letter (8.5x11)
ZiP02 will be.....? Proposal: quarto print on tabloid (11x17)
We want to experiment with format, style, size, layout until we find something that feels like the official ZiP style. Or maybe there never will be an official ZiP style - it will be constantly evolving, changing, mutating, like memes, like Noisebridge, like life itself.

WHEELING - What started out innocent enough has really turned into something rather cool.
"There's a lot of tradition here at Madonna," said second-year football coach Doug Taylor. "I can remember back in my high school days (at Oak Glen) playing Madonna with the silver helmets and the Dons logo on the side.
"We were talking about it one evening and we thought it would be a nice idea to go back to the silver helmets in recognition of that 1987 team.
Article Photos
SACKED — Madonna's Tyler Ewusiak tackles Tucker County quarterback Derek Nestor while Blue Dons teammate Travis Brown looks on during the 20-14 victory in double overtime last week. Madonna will meet Wahama at 7 p.m. Saturday at Wheeling Island Stadium for the West Virginia Class A state championship.
-- Fred Younce
LEADING THE WAY — Madonna senior captains, from left, Quintin Hukill, Charlie Kotten, James Fulciniti and Garrett Hypes, will lead the Blue Dons into Saturday's 7 p.m. contest with Wahama at Wheeling Island Stadium for the West Virginia Class A state championship.
-- Fred Younce
"We brought it up to the kids. We looked at multiple shades of that silver to try to fit what we were doing. The kids selected one and we went with it."
Twenty-five years after that 1987 team won the first state football championship for the Blue Dons, Madonna is back in the title game.
Thanks to a 20-14 double-overtime victory last week at Tucker County, the No. 4 Blue Dons will take on No. 3 Wahama at 7 p.m. Saturday at Wheeling Island Stadium for the West Virginia Class A state championship.
"We gave the kids the option," said Taylor. "It wasn't a mandatory thing from us. We asked them if they wanted to try this and they were pretty receptive to it. And, here we are."
But, it wasn't just because of the grey helmets to commemorate that 1987 squad.
"We got a late start last year," Taylor said of his late hire, in June, to replace long-time head coach Bob Kramer. "We started in June, put together a staff and tried to get to know the kids. Once we finished up the season, I really saw that the kids had a lot of heart and weren't afraid to work hard.
"It takes time and we knew it was going to take time. We were giving them different things that they weren't really familiar with and it was a little bit away from their culture of lining up and playing smash-mouth football. I knew we had the athletes after Week 2 or 3. We had some young kids who we had to get to buy into the program and sell out to it, to commit their time and effort to it. I thought we could have done a lot better (last year) if we hadn't been beaten up late in the year (with injuries)."
So, over the summer, things changed.
"We're sharing kids with other sports and that's an issue, like at all schools," said Taylor. "In the offseason, we almost went to a mandatory lift with the kids. We had a really good turnout for that. We hired an outside company to handle our speed, agility and quickness training and the kids pretty much were 100 percent into that and it paid dividends for us.
"Once we got into two-a-days, we knew we had something special. We got nicked up a little in the scrimmage and we pulled out of our second scrimmage to try to stay healthy for our first game."
Two regular season games really have defined Madonna's season to this point.
"When we got beat by Wheeling Central (28-22 in Week 2), we knew right then we could play with those teams," said Taylor. "When we got back into the locker room, it was business-like. The kids didn't like losing, but they knew they could play with and beat Wheeling Central, and other teams like them. The kids knew they were capable of playing better than that night. They just devoted themselves to the program and worked harder."
The other game was the 21-20 come-from-behind victory at Steubenville Catholic Central in Week 9.
"Things have really turned around since that game," said Taylor. "It's been a whole different team, a whole different demeanor in practice. Right now, they know they are good enough to win the state title."
Along with changes to the program, came changes in the coaching staff from Year 1 to Year 2. Brad Kessel was brought in to be the defensive coordinator.
"Brad's a great guy," said Taylor. "The kids like him. He's from the old school. He's a hard-nosed coach. The kids appreciate that. His style is a little bit different than what they were accustomed to. We're a little more of a zone team, when they were a man team before. They bought into it. We struggled a little bit early in the year, but as the year went on, they have been getting better and better at it and I think right now we are playing out best defense.
"When we came in, we brought our own staff in and we've had some changes to that staff. I think our staff has come together really well. We get along well and the kids know we get along well.
"The staff has been great. I can't say enough about the staff from John McClelland, Brad Kessel, Jon Kendrick, Ray Pernell, Eric Nejus and John Lesho. They've all been great."
And, with a close-knit staff, comes a close-knit team.
"We joke around with them and the kids joke around with us, but when we go to the practice field, they know it's time to practice," said Taylor. "When it's over, it's time to laugh and have fun.
"When you go down to practice, it's time to practice. It's a discipline thing. You want each player to do exactly what you want them to do and not to try to do their own thing. There's some screaming and yelling at practice, but, I think it's important that when practice is over, to show them it's not personal. We turn it off.
"Once practice is over, it's back to being you and me and hanging out together. Our door is always open. The kids come in and sit.
"After the game at Tucker County, we all went to eat and the kids told the hostess it was my birthday and they all came over and sang happy birthday to me. It wasn't my birthday, so the kids got a laugh out of that.
"It's about having fun. They are a great group of kids."

Curtis, how would you stack Whalen next to Moore?
How would you stack Ginsberg next to Pound?
I mean in terms of universal and sustaining value?
Do you think the modernists were better than the postmodernists?

regarding comparing "this" (one/poet) to "that" (one/poet)
I just "stack" them in an horiozonetal manner Alpha-betically..
regardless of any historical posturing
in The Whalen Collected (Micahel Rothenberg, ed)
the VERY last piece therein
do answer your question / hear it is:
for Robert Winson
They've got donburi at Sushi Hole now
A mound of rice with whatever decorations right on the plank beside the sushi
hard to scoop up with chopsticks
We always think of you when we go there to eat.
as for me? Whenever I eat Chinese food OR Sushi OR Poems/Words
I always ask for/ use a pair of forks
I never compare one dish with another...
- March 26, 2010 at 8:44 AM
- Curtis Faville said...
Comparing books of poetry with rice dishes--okay.
My point wasn't in attempting to rank these books, but to make known the fact of Burke's intent: He wanted deliberately to "celebrate" the f/act of the earlier book, both as a commemoration, and as a homage, and to continue the tradition.
What's wrong with that?
- March 26, 2010 at 8:57 AM
- Ed Baker said...
I was replying to Kirby..
and his need/demand to compare that's a "bad" habit that is difficult to drop..
your essay/ point of view, well,
you got some "chops" here... and some terrific sounds/ "licks"
heck, with or with-out utensils or condiments-added
I sure can "taste" those Ancient Tomes as they were produced... most likely on a kitchen table
just the other day
- March 26, 2010 at 9:04 AM
- Kirby Olson said...
It's very important to rank everything.
Also, Curtis, I did finally see things more or less your way wrt the health care phynances. Ron actually let my post through.
Yesterday I tried bravely to be chock a block with the new bill, but this morning my paranoia caught up with me.

Part of the reason I went along with the deal was that the CBO said the thing was going to work out. Now today they say that they're 1.2 trillion low in their estimates. Most of the debt is owed to Red Chinese. This means we're going to have to sell the Tibetan Monks into gonesville status.

Let's rank Kirby O's Corso page, or Corso-nostalgia extortion page (which ah wager consists of old e-mails, now posted for self-aggrandizing purposes, whether the original beat-ski approved or no).
Then, maybe let's have Kirby O's pastor and congregation rank it too!

Re. Memoirs of an Interglacial Age, Curtis, ditto to this:
"The pleasure and delight [of?] Whalen's early book, so lovingly produced by Auerhahn Press, was a talisman of a time and place, not forgotten by those who lived then."
Everything is nothing but itself.

Got the typo, Tom.
One of my biggest regrets was in never meeting Phil. We corresponded briefly back in the 1970's.
He was my favorite poet for a period of about five years between, say, the appearance of On Bear's Head and when I started working for the government in 1974. He looked a good deal like my Father, too, but the "resemblance" ended there.

I traveled with my boyfriend to New York City.
We had a great stay in Sheri's apartment! The room is pretty big, nice and clean. It was very quiet at night, we slept very well! ;)
Sheri is a wonderful host! She made cookies for us when we came and answered all the questions we had ;) Plus, sharing a bathroom with her was no problem at all. It was nice and clean just like the rest of the apartment.
There is also a fridge in the room, so we could store some food. The neighborhood is really nice, too, with awesome places to eat and a super market close by.
We had a great time in NYC and would definitely come back and highly recommend Sheri's apartment!
Sheri is a great host! I've been there for the second time and I would definitly come back again. Everything is great. She baked macarons for us! The room is exactly as described and Sheri gave us all the information we needed.
Thank you so much for having us!
Our stay with Sheri was perfect. Sheri sent us all kinds of informations we could need to find our way around NY (and to her place) and was very quick to answer our texts at our arriving day. The room (and bathroom) were very nice, clean and had all the things you could wish for. (Extra blankets, water heater, cookies, dishes, fridge towels...) Sheri even made time to help us get directions for our departure day when our metroline was under construction.
I absolutely recommend staying with her if you get the chance! Thanks again for a very very lovely stay!!!
Great New Year´s Eve in NYC ! My wife and me decided to stay in this room and we had a warm welcome from Sheri. She left in our fridge some delicious macarons. The room is wide and confortable. We have recommended this room to our friends like a good choice if they would decide to visit NYC. There is 2 metro station near and some coffe and bakery.
Sheri is and helpfull host,will do what she can do to help you.
The app was close to te subway,and central park,clean,enough room,good internet.
In general perfect to stay in New York
My daughter and her friend had a fantastic stay at Sheri's apartment for five nights, thanks to Sheri!
The room was very bright and big and the bed was very confortable so the two girls where rested to explore new areas of New York the next day. Sheri was always friendly and open for questions and she gave them a lot of valuable insider tips about New York.
It's a very short way to the next subway station (about 5 minutes on foot) so you can reach your destinations quite fast.
It was a perfect stay for the two girls and they enjoyed their time there.
I can highly recomment everyone to stay with her whenever you visit New York.
Warm regards to Sheri from Luisa and Eva :-)
We had a great stay in NY. Even Sheri enjoyed an own trip but she organised everything very well. Thanks a lot!
Sheri is fantastic and his apartment is very nice .
We did not know to be with her for our vacation but she was invisible and we have never seen her. Only the first day and for the departure.
Excellent location and very clean, very good wi-fi .
What can I say?
Go there quicklyyyyy :-)
We really enjoyed staying in Sheri's apartment. The room is spacious and clean. The location easy to get to by metro. Sheri is a great host, the macarons are perfect! If we visit NYC again we definitely stay here again, if possible.
Sheri's place in New York is great base to explore the city. The appartment is located in St Nicholas Av in Harlem, in a relatively quiet part of town (however, it 's metropolitan, so you will probably use ear plugs to sleep if you are used to country-side quiet nights. The nearby metro station with express service to downtown makes the journey to major must-go places very fast. In the neighbourhood you will also find nice restaurants, bars, bakery's and a good supermarket.
The room in the appartment is large and comfortable. There is a fridge, TV and coffee maker. Anything else you would need can be provided for. The shared bathroom is fine.
Sheri is a perfect host who makes you feel at home. She is available when you need her but does not impose herself and gives you all the freedom and space you need.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Learn how Scott Hanselman and the Corillian Corporation leverage Windows PowerShell to simplify and automate financial application management. This chat between Scott of Hanselminutes.com fame and Jeffrey Snover, Architect of Windows PowerShell and MMC, ranges from strengths and weaknesses of Windows PowerShell, how developers can easily extend Windows PowerShell to solve business problems or just explore the .NET framework, to Kierkegaard, black vs. white cats, the meaning of a Hanselminute, importance of application frameworks, and also a discussion of strongly vs. non-strongly typed languages. This chat also reveals the importance and simplicity of script blocks to the architecture of Windows PowerShell.<?
When you're done viewing this chat, download and install Windows PowerShell and check out the Windows PowerShell SDK.
Oops, something didn't work.
Good vid guys. Random need here I have been bumping into. I find myself more and more needing psh in VS. VS needs to be "powershellized" at the core (from external commands to profiles to post build to other). The default load should have a profile, each solution should have a profile, and possibly each project. snippets could be converted to psh functions and the shortcut names will be aliases. A whole new class of usability will explode. I mean add-ins like ZipStudio that zip a whole solution would become bone simple if VS was psh enabled. Vive la VS cmd gadgets!
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback - it was precise and helpful.
> 1. Consistency: Powershell was built to be consistent and yet object property names are often not. The process object uses processname but company not companyname, i.e. some properties have name in them and some don't. This happens with many objects and not only that. It seems to me that object properties could be made more consistent.
Absolutely correct. While .NET is substantially more consistent than previous efforts, it still has inconsistencies such as this. This is one of the reasons that PowerShell extends the .NET type system. Look what happens when you ask for the names on Processes:
PS> get-process |Get-Member *Name*
TypeName: System.Diagnostics.Process
Name MemberType Definition
---- ---------- ----------
Name AliasProperty Name = ProcessName
ProcessName Property System.String ProcessName ...
We have produced a property alias which maps Name to ProcessName. This allows us to address the inconsistencies of .NET. As a user, you can take advantage of this feature yourself adding additional properties, methods, etc to objects and object types. It is an incredibly powerful aspect of PowerShell.
> 2. What you think you type? Think again. Powershell was built to simplify management by the use of a set of similarly named objects using a verb-noun pattern. And yet in Powershell many management tasks require using WMI and COM and etc which is a mess and not at all "what you think is what you get". If WMI is needed for everything, then we lose the easy syntax of Powershell.
This is a coverage issue. Cmdlets represent the best user experience but we knew that it would take years before we had complete coverage. We decided to provide access to things like COM, WMI, ADSI, .NET, etc even though they did not provide the level of abstarction we wanted to provide our users. What they do is 1) ensure that you can always do what you need to do and 2) allows you to create the right level of abstractions for others using Scripts.
> 3. COM clean-up: Create a COM object in Powershell such as Internet Explorer or Word. How do you clean it up. The COM reference is not released and setting the variable equal to $NULL does not change anything
Setting it to $NULL deferences it but the object will continue to exist until the garbage collector (GC) disposes it. You can control this yourself but as a general rule, it is best to let the GC handle it.
> 4. Language documentation is not adequate: When do you use square brackets and when round ones in variables? When a comma, etc? Why does where require a script block? Why was the pipeline object named $_ which is difficult to type instead of $$ which would have been easier? Why do I need to specify $_ in a where script block anyway? Can't it be assumed? And many more. There are many language design questions are not answered in the documentation and some language featured are not clearly explained.
Yup. There are a number of books now available on PowerShell that fill this gap. Bruce Payette, the developement lead on the language, as a great book focused on the language coming out this month. It is called PowerShell In Action.

I work for a company that has a hosted .net internet application with many clients. Those clients often want to write customizations for our application. We have APIs to hook into the app, but the customizations themselves are written in .net. This is a shared, secure hosting environment and we have to code review these customizations before we can deploy them in our datacenter to ensure that they don't degrade performance, crash our servers, or open any security vulnerabilities. We charge for these code reviews.
The current pricing model is simply a function of the number of lines of code. I think this is a bad idea for a variety of reasons, but primarily because, if we are interested in verifying that the code works as expected, we should be incentivizing good, readable code, not compaction.
I would like to propose a pricing model that incorporates some, or all of the following as inputs:
- Lines of code
- Cyclomatic complexity
- Avg function length
- # of functions
Are there any other metrics I should incorporate, or other ideas for how we can reasonably create pricing for code reviews that encourages safe and understandable code?

As the title suggests both of the above three formats are raster files. In ArcGIS, apparently there's no difference between them. So what's the difference between these three formats?
Back in the dim and distant past, these formats came about from different proprietary software developers. GRID came from ESRI. IMG came from ERDAS and TIFF came from Aldus (are they still on the go?). So that explains why we have the three of them. There are some differences though:
In GIS we have a massive range of raster formats to choose from and not just these three. They all have differences, some are too subtle to care about within one software package. Other differences are more fundamental. Know your package and who your are going to swap data with - then choose your format... but just be careful about portability.
ArcGIS can read those formats and work with them transparently to the user, however each format supports different features such as pixel bit depth and compression. Following on from @MappaGnosis' answer, see ESRI's technical specifications document for a list of what formats support which features (9.3 version).

I have a button, when you click this button it dynamically creates a second button. I need to place a click event on to the dynamically created button (second button), which I do, but my click function isn't working.
How can I get my click function to work with dynamically created elements?
