I currently have a Pole Series 1 upper unit with Pole Rotator and Pole Foot Plate at the bottom and a Quick Mount Mini on the top.
The product description for the Travel Pole shows the weight with case as .97 kg.
The product description for the Pole Series 1 upper unit as .75 kg with no mention of a case.
Which pole is lighter without their respective cases?
Will any of the external levels fit the travel pole?
Will the pole rotator/foot plate and QMM work with the Travel Pole?
Thank You

I'm planning a whitewater rafting trip, and I'm worried what I should do if the raft flips over.
Is there a standard set of procedures I should go through to get back on the raft?
I'm planning a whitewater rafting trip, and I'm worried what I should do if the raft flips over.
Is there a standard set of procedures I should go through to get back on the raft?
Generally if someone asks this question they don't have a lot of experience and are going with a guide so I will approach it from that point of view.
The first thing to do is bring your feet up to the top of the water and get to the raft as fast as you can. You want to keep your feet up to help against hitting any debris you may be floating over and or getting drawn by hydraulics (basically strong pulling water that is caused by passing over obstacles). The guide will probably crawl on top of the raft and flip it over by grabbing a side and using his weight as leverage.
However, if the rapids are particularly strong at this point, it's not uncommon to get on the raft upside down and wait until you have reached a more docile point in the river to right it.
Something that may go against your natural instincts, it's generally advised not to leave the raft and help others. This may end up in you getting separated from the raft and probably the other person.
Biggest things to remember are:
Before leaving, make sure you know about white-water swimming techniques (float on your back with you feet at the surface pointing downstream).
When you fall in, make sure you aren't tangled up in anything. Your biggest danger is getting something caught in the river bed (like loose rope catching between rocks) and being push down by the current. Where to aim for will depend on the situation, but in general, you want to stay close to, but upstream of the raft so you can't get "squashed" between the raft and any obstacle in the river.
Another good thing to remember is keeping your paddle in your hands. Don't drop it as you fall in. First, you don't want to lose it do you? But mostly, it can help you swim, and you can use it to push off rocks and direct you in a clearer part of the stream. You can use it like a walking stick. Quite handy if you end up walking in waist high flowing water.

6 Famous Authors Who Were Nothing Like You Expect
One of the most often repeated pieces of advice any writer will hear is "Write what you know," and many of the most respected authors in history have done exactly that: Joseph Conrad knew a lot about watching friends die in a river in the middle of the jungle, Dr. Dre knows a lot about smoking weed every day, and so on. However, we tend to forget that sometimes writers just make shit up that has nothing to do with their real lives, and as a result we have an image of them that directly contradicts their actual personality.
For instance, if you only know them from their work, you'd never guess that ...
#6. J.R.R. Tolkien Hated His Hippie Fans
What We Know Him For:
Long before The Lord of the Rings series became 20 hours' worth of blockbuster films, the book trilogy was massively popular with 1960s hippies and flower children, who enjoyed the books' back-to-nature vibe and the fact that the characters are never described washing.
Look, he's laughing his ass off -- there has to be weed in that pipe.
Since then, neo-pagans and new-age types have continued to embrace the Middle-earth mythology to varying degrees of insanity. There's even a religious group called the Elvin Holy Order of Mother Earth that runs the nerdiest sounding celebrations ever at their "sanctuary" in Indiana. This isn't surprising: After all, Tolkien even came up with his own set of gods, the Lords and Ladies of the Valar, which the characters in his books constantly pray and talk to.
But In Real Life ...
J.R.R. Tolkien was a Catholic. And not just a "go to church twice a year" Catholic, but a hardcore one who was so conservative that he reacted to changes in church services in the 1960s by storming out of the building. And Tolkien described Lord of the Rings as a fundamentally Catholic work.
New Line Cinema
"And lo did he return three acts later."
Those Valar dudes? They're not gods, he said: They're more like angels, and anyone who thinks otherwise is dumb. According to him, pagan religions were "ultimately hopeless and futile," and his hippie fans were a "deplorable cultus" -- granted, this hostility might have been influenced by the fact that American fans repeatedly called Tolkien in the middle of the night to spout drug-fuelled ramblings about how they were at one with Tom Bombadil.
Tolkien was so annoyed by his hippie followers that his later work about Middle-earth, The Silmarillion, even attempted to clarify his "Yahweh rules, pagans drool" stance: It describes a very Genesis-like creation of the universe by a monotheistic deity called Iluvatar or the All-Father, followed by the rebellion of a very Satan-ish being named Morgoth. He was going out of his way to set the record straight, but his "Frodo Lives!" chanting fans still didn't listen.
Mel Gibson's already bought the rights.
#5. Kurt Vonnegut Manufactured His Counterculture Image
Oliver Morris/Getty Images
What We Know Him For:
Kurt Vonnegut was a 1960s counterculture hero, the author of classics that have become the perennial favorite of college intellectuals everywhere, including some who have actually read his books. And the man certainly looked the part: The soulful eyes, crazy curly hair and the overall image of a Harvard educated hobo.
He looks like he's about to be asked to leave a cafe for peeing in the corner.
That is the image of a genius too busy bending the rules of time, space, and grammar with his typewriter to give a shit about his vanity. That is somebody who doesn't give a shit about the system, man.
But In Real Life ...
Actually, Vonnegut's hobo look was carefully calculated. Here's what he looked like before publishing Slaughterhouse Five in 1969:
Loree Rackstraw
"Hi. Yeah, can you do something about the time-displaced hobo at table five? I'm trying to enjoy my meal. Thanks a ton."
For half of his life, Vonnegut was clean shaven, sophisticated and well fed. However, this was the '60s, and Vonnegut knew he'd be eaten alive by counter-cultural literary circles he hoped to reach with his book if he looked like Darren from Bewitched. He obsessed over his author photo and ended up completely revamping his demeanor so he could look like a crazy writer: He lost weight, grew out his hair, neglected showers, and, of course, grew a mustache that would give Tom Selleck a run for his money.
Vonnegut had worked as a PR man for years, so he knew exactly what he had to do to achieve his dream "to be a famous New York City writer." He was also so insecure about his education that he lied about academic honors he never got, and despite sounding off about Vietnam, had no problem with being an investor at Dow Chemical (makers of napalm).
US Army
And so profits grow.
So to all those college kids who "love" his work but have only seen 30 minutes of the Bruce Willis version of Breakfast of Champions, he'd probably say "Well done, you're on your way to becoming a legendary author!"
#4. Louisa May Alcott Loved Money and Drugs
What We Know Her For:
In the 19th century, Louisa May Alcott famously wrote Little Women and its many sequels, like Little Men or the less popular Average Sized Adults. The novels were all collectively about true love, domesticity, and the most important aspect of virtue over wealth, themes that continue to resonate with young readers across the world -- there's even a Japanese anime adaptation of the novel.
Nippon Animation
In this version, Jo and her sisters can merge to form Chastatron, Protector of Virtue.
It's well known that Alcott based the stories on her own childhood experiences with her three sisters, and many identify her with her heroine Jo: strong-willed, righteous, and probably kinda dull.
But In Real Life ...
Alcott called Little Women "moral pap for the young" that she wrote for the specific purpose of making lots and lots of money. "Money is the means and the ends of my mercenary existence," she also said -- getting rich was the driving force for writing about women who didn't care about getting rich.
"Girls who love their family over money? What a great science fiction concept!"
She didn't particularly enjoy writing these stories: She would much rather be getting high on opium (she was addicted most of her adult life) or writing her less known tales about revenge, lust, and, you guessed it, making lots and lots of money. She probably would have included a lot more sex and opium addiction in Little Women if it weren't for the fact that it would hurt sales.
Alcott knew that her entire reputation and sales depended on the good girl image and living up to the theme of "virtue over wealth" (at least she got the "wealth" part right), so she put together a cover-up of her own writing -- she never claimed ownership of her earlier, smuttier work, which was published anonymously, so she could make a brand out of herself. After hitting it big she mostly stuck to writing the stuff she knew would sell well, hence all the sequels. If she knew that Hollywood has done four movies and a bunch of TV shows based on Little Women, she'd probably be like "Awesome! Now where's my fucking royalty check?"
Columbia Pictures
"It's been 20 years; Mama wants a remake. Michael Bay, some Megan Fox, a little 3D. Boom, jackpot."

LITTLE ROCK — In his first trip to the state since taking office, President Barack Obama on Wednesday toured areas of central Arkansas devastated by last week's EF4 tornado and said he is impressed with the way communities responded.
"Folks here are tough," Obama said while visiting the Parkwood Meadows subdivision of Vilonia, where dozens of houses were leveled. "They look out for each another. That's been clear over this past week."
The president said he was inspired by the attitudes of the volunteers, rescue workers and family members of tornado victims he met Wednesday, including one volunteer who told him, "We just say a prayer and get to work."
"A lot of work remains to be done, but I'm here to remind you that you're not in this alone," Obama said.
U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., invited Obama to come to Arkansas to view the destruction caused by the April 27 tornado, which claimed at least 15 lives. The tornado occurred two days after the third anniversary of a 2011 tornado that killed four people and leveled parts of Vilonia.
Obama flew into the state on Air Force One and landed at 12:34 p.m. at Little Rock Air Force Base, where Pryor, U.S. Rep Tim Griffin, R-Little Rock, Gov. Mike Beebe, Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola and the base's commander, Col. Patrick Rhatigan, greeted him.
Obama, Pryor, Griffin and Beebe then boarded Marine One and flew over damaged areas in western Pulaski County and the Faulkner County towns of Mayflower and Vilonia.
"We talked about how much damage it did, and how quickly," Griffin said later in an interview with the Arkansas News Bureau. "In a short time it caused so much damage and so much loss of life."
Griffin said the group also talked with the president about getting help to all the affected areas and about the response from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which issued a disaster declaration for Faulkner County two days after the April 27 tornado and for Pulaski, Randolph and White counties on Monday.
FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate visited central Arkansas on the day after the tornado, and U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson toured damaged areas with former President Bill Clinton on Sunday.
Shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday, Marine One landed in a field near Vilonia's public schools, where children and teachers stood outside and cheered. The president talked with school officials, then rode in a motorcade to Vilonia City Hall, passing crowds that stood along Main Street waving and taking photos.
Obama visited privately with first responders, recovery workers and affected families inside Vilonia City Hall. Next, his motorcade traveled to the Parkwood Meadows subdivision.
At the end of a cul-de-sac, the president exited the motorcade along with Pryor, Griffin, Beebe and Vilonia Mayor James Firestone. Wearing a light blue button-down shirt and khaki pants, Obama walked with the group down the street amid piles of debris, battered cars and slabs where homes once stood.
At one point Obama broke away from the others to call to two men in work clothes by a trackhoe, "How are you all doing?"
The president had a conversation with the men, Daniel Cunningham and Jeff Smith, that was mostly out of earshot to reporters, although one of the men was heard saying that his wife and son were in the hospital.
Obama then continued walking down the street.
"How are you guys?" he called to a man and two boys.
"Man, it's good to see you, sir. We're glad you're here," the man, Daniel Smith, said as he shook the president's hand.
Obama asked the boys, Gabriel and Garrison Dority, their ages. Gabriel said he was 9 and Garrison said he was 6.
"Where you when all this happened?" Obama asked Smith, who answered that he was at a newly built shelter at Vilonia High School, where about 300 people took shelter on the night of the storm. He pointed out his house, which was in an area where some houses still had walls standing.
"You guys are one of those that kind of stayed up," Obama said.
The president made public remarks while standing in the street with Pryor, Griffin, Beebe and Firestone behind him.
"It's a reminder that as important as possessions are, nothing's more important than family," he said. "I could not be more proud of everybody that's participated in this recovery."
The motorcade then returned to Vilonia schools, where Obama boarded Marine One and departed at 2:47 p.m.
Pryor said he appreciated the president's visit and FEMA's quick response to the disaster. He said Obama was clearly moved by what he saw.
"He saw a lot of destruction, but he also saw the resiliency of the people," Pryor said. "You can just see it in people's eyes. They're determined to rebuild, they're determined to come back stronger than ever."
Griffin said the president's visit sent an important message.
"The challenge with things like this is to make sure it remains a priority as time progresses and attention doesn't get diverted to some other crisis," he said. "It sends a signal to charities and the federal government that this is a priority from the top down."
Beebe praised the response of the president and FEMA to the disaster.
"They're doing a good job," he said.
Also Wednesday, Pryor, Griffin and Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., announced that the city of Vilonia will receive a $37,073 grant from the Department of Homeland Security's Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program to purchase 18 sets of turnout gear for its firefighters.

The city of Bowling Green will not appeal the ruling on the smoking ban at the American Legion and VFW.
"We came to the conclusion that we would allow the court's ruling to stand. I know it may not be as clear as some would like, but it seemed clear to the majority of us," said Bowling Green Mayor Bruce Wilkerson.
There's one on the Commissioner who doesn't think this is very clear.
"It's disappointing to me that the city commission is going to go along with that, and when I say the city commission I mean it only takes three. It only takes a majority of the members, and the majority of the members of the city commission right now believe that's okay," said Bowling Green City Commissioner Brian "Slim" Nash.
Attorney Alan Simpson represented the organizations and said he's not surprised by the city's decision.
"You know the courts have spoken and that's the way the system is supposed to work, and I respect the fact that they are going to stand by the court's ruling. These veterans have not only fought for their rights, but for the rights of everyone in America. It's just good now that the court system has served them well in protecting their rights," said Simpson.
This has been an issue since police cited the American Legion for smoking violations in April.
This past Friday Warren District Judge Brent Potter ruled the Legion exempt on that night, conclusion which Commissioner Nash has been critical.
"Yes. I know you expect politicians to use a lot more words than that. In essence, what I believe the city is doing if we don't amend the ordinance and we don't enforce the ordinance, then that leaves us somewhere in between those two, and what that gray are is that we have an ordinance on the books that we're not enforcing," said Nash.
Nash said that nothing's personal about the issue.
He can bring this up for discussion, but he needs to have a 2nd to his motion and that is something he's not sure he'll receive.

Editor's note: Neil Ghosh is the Executive Director of SNV USA, a non-profit international development organization.
(CNN) -- Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results, Einstein is often quoted as having said. By this definition, U.S. economic policy over the past three decades has been a paragon of madness. Government, business and individuals alike lurch from bear to bull, all the while preaching the virtues of economic stability.
Congress may have managed to stall the most recent crisis over our debt ceiling, but the lives of American citizens remain hostage to the same old ideological wrangle over tax rates and spending levels, a reality epitomized by the ongoing debate (and apparent lack of movement) over the deadline for enforced budget cuts, otherwise known as sequestration. One side tells us that government is the key to economic recovery, and prioritizes expensive but popular social entitlements. The other side implies that "free enterprise" is the cure-all.
To believe that either way will produce anything but the same old results is to bolster Einstein and, increasingly, to miss the point.
As Fareed Zakaria noted so succinctly on GPS recently, the problem is not taxation or spending, but growth. Indeed, Zakaria charted a 30-year long failure to invest in human capital, the engine of growth. "Without a strategy to revive long-term growth," he wrote, "all of our problems get worse."
So, to escape the cycle of insanity, growth strategies must offer something new and different. And new ideas are not nearly as hard to find as the gridlock in Washington would suggest. Indeed, pragmatic thinkers and policymakers around the world are developing new ways to drive growth without sacrificing social well-being.
Whether it's Bill Gates talking about "creative capitalism," billionaires and rock stars putting their heads together at the Clinton Global Initiative, or governments teaming up with corporations to expand markets and fight poverty, the core idea is the same: inclusive growth.
So what does this mean in practice? Inclusive growth describes strategies under which national and multinational companies bring more local producers and providers -- i.e. the poor -- into their value chains.
By increasing cooperation, the private sector, NGOs, and governments can create greater financial, environmental and social value. While historically, these interests may not often have overlapped, each brings insights into alleviating systemic poverty.
But, even better, each "side" stands to benefit as well: Companies gain distribution channels as well as new markets for their goods, leading to increased profit. Governments and NGOs benefit from increased international prestige that facilitates borrowing for other important investments. Perhaps most importantly, locals gain opportunities to learn new skill sets and earn higher wages via sustainable employment.
The size of this potential market is staggering. According to figures provided by the World Bank, World Resources Institute and Economist Intelligence Unit, some 3.7 billion individuals at the so-called "base of the pyramid" live on less than $8 per day. Yet taken together, they represent $2.3 trillion in spending power.
Traditionally, we have viewed the "base" as simply poor or aid recipients. But a better model would see them as potential producers, consumers and partners. If we choose to view those living in poverty as a potential part of growth, rather than as a legion of problems requiring a solution, we have a better chance of ensuring prosperity.
A recent World Economic Forum report highlights how all this can work in practice, whether it be local producers in Brazil providing goods for Wal-Mart's own labels, Coca-Cola building a decentralized network of distribution centers owned by local independent distributors in Africa and Asia, or Intel and the Vietnamese government collaborating to introduce a low-priced personal computer, initially available through rural community centers.
These examples have one important feature in common: investment in human capital as an engine of growth. As traditional sources of aid and investment dwindle, governments around the world are becoming more innovative. And, as they grow willing to embrace opportunities for collaboration with the private, nonprofit and philanthropic sectors, governments improve their chances of breaking the kinds of deadlock seen in the tunnel vision of Washington.
Zakaria ended his editorial with a cautionary tale about Japan. Once hailed as the world's brightest economic star, Japan's economic bubble burst in the 1990s, and it endured its lost decades not because of economic incapacity, but because the political system "froze up," in Zakaria's words. He sees the same danger in the Congressional fixation on taxes and spending.
Here, as in Japan, what is needed is not merely a "reform" of the mechanics of economic policy, but a new spirit in economic thinking, and a rededication to the fundamental human components of growth. The potential is there, the question is whether lawmakers in the U.S. will open their eyes to see it.

How many Spinning® classes a week is enough cardio training?
Do I have to lift weights? Is taking a Bodypump class equal to hitting the weight room?
Will Pilates "count" the same as yoga class?
Ah, the questions we have and receive in the fitness world.
I understand. I started my life at the gym as a chubby 10 year old jazzercise aficiondao because I wasn't into athletic sports. I began teaching dance aerobics and step class when I was 17. I've seen many trends in the fitness and diet industry come and go in the past 30 years, all in the name of finding that holy grail of what do I need to do? How much is enough/too much?
Most individuals, from casual exercisers to elite athletes, are looking for the elusive prescription of doing just the right amount of the right exercises/training that is going to yield the most bang for the buck, whether it's banging out a first place finish in a local club cycling championship or banging a thong bikini on the beach.
Elite athletes tend to have access to coaches and equipment that enable them to to fine-tune their daily training sessions to exact target parameters and specific measurable performance gains. It doesn't necessarily make training any easier, but when one lives, sleeps and breathes their sport the training payoffs tend to be more tangible in the form of medals, trophies, and gift certificates for new carbon fiber cycling shoes.
When you're not competing, measuring progress in a fitness program tends to run to focussing on more cosmetic and daily quality of life indicators that are at least as important to many recreational exercisers as a first place finish in the local county road race is to the weekend warrior. Questions like Am I having fun? Do I feel better? How does my butt look in my jeans? Is my muffin top disappearing? are just as significant as improving personal best records and minutes per mile. Many casual fitness buffs don't feel the need to hire a coach or personal trainer in order to definitively answer these seemingly intuitive questions-no pain no gain is what I learned from my high school phys ed teacher.
But the pursuit of fitness can be trickier than just showing up. Individuals vary widely in how much of different exercise "types" (cardio, strength, flexibility) they need and more importantly, just how their bodies will respond. Personal trainers and coaches are paid to measure these physiological responses on an ongoing basis and adapt/plan future workouts accordingly. Unfortunately, many people who participate at the gym do not have the resources for a personal trainer, and end up overemphasizing cardio or strength training at the expense of a comprehensive workout routine over time that will help individuals reach their goals and acquire peak fitness in whatever measurable form that translates to for casual exercisers.
This is where the 5 Spinning® energy zones fulfill a crucial role in the training plan of anyone who is looking for measurable results in their workout sessions. I view the zones as pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, when you put the five pieces of the puzzle together they form a perfect square.
Should I do more cardio, or focus more on strength?
The answer is yes.
How many Spinning® classes are enough/too many per week?
The answer is yes.
To me, the point of a confoundingly ridiculous response is not to drive my students crazy, but to help them understand that there are no absolute answers to most fitness questions. At the bare minimum, when people use the Spinning® energy zones along with a heart rate monitor to help shape their time spent on cardio training they are at least assured of a more scientific approach than hopping on the elliptical and slogging away for 30-45 minutes every time they're at the gym.
I recall leading a Spinning® orientation several years ago at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois. During our discussion of the energy zones, we talked about the purpose of endurance training and aerobic base building. A quiet but powerful gentleman sitting in the back spoke up and shared with us that he not only regularly participated in Ironman triathalons, but he had actually won several of them (this was later verified with Google). He worked with a coach but he had also had devised his own hit or miss training plan over the years. His typical weekly training for competitive events consisted of all periodized pure aerobic training, in cycling what we refer to as base building or LSD (long slow or steady distance). All of it. He did absolutely no high intensity interval training (HIIT) or anaerobic sprints. But when he competed, he went out and tore the the field up. Most competitive athletes training for elite events like an Ironman will vary their training formula so that while they get lots of LSD, they also pepper in HIIT in relatively small but carefully prescribed and scientifically timed doses so all of systems of their body are ready to perform at the highest level during the event. Clearly, the proof of the effectiveness of his somewhat unorthodox training approach lays in his results. However, that's not to say everyone who wants to win an Ironman should run out and start copying his methods, it could result in disaster for the next competitor who trained identically.
The bottom line is we all have to pay attention to results, which first means setting some sort of a goal for the time invested at the gym, and then measuring specific progress towards that goal. It can be overwhelming, and sadly there are no short cuts to fitness or magic pills that will yield results without hard work (sshh, the multi-billion dollar diet & supplement industry doesn't want that secret getting out). The energy zones give us an excellent point from which to start devising our own balanced training approach and plan.
I look forward to seeing you in your thong on the beach this summer.

Just loaded the themes example into IE9 across my LAN in about 4 seconds, virtually identical to FF 3.6.16. Takes about 2 seconds into Chrome on the same client. The client is a win 7 64-bit ASUS U30JC-B1 laptop.
Also, loads into IE8 via http://localhost/ext-4.0.0/examples/themes/index.html in about 5 secs. This is a win 7 64-bit Ultimate desktop with core i7 CPU (2.67 GHz) and 12 GB RAM. Of course, on this machine Chrome only takes about 1.5 sec.
29 Apr 2011 1:05 PM #12
Tried http://localhost/ext-4.0.0/examples/themes/index.html
IE8 does it in 5 seconds, Firefox 4 is a bit faster (some 3 seconds) and Chrome is indeed wonderful, 1,5 seconds.
I'm using Windows 7 Professional x64.
29 Apr 2011 1:56 PM #13
A couple of observations from playing around with my grid config:
- Chrome: not too bad, although 1 second to show a scrollbar after grid render isn't something I'd be selling as a massive performance improvement.
- Firefox: see Chrome
- IE: forceFit: true = 10 seconds from loadMask hide to scroller visible
- IE: forceFit=false, flex on all columns = 10 seconds
- IE: forceFit = false, no flex, fixed column widths adding up to less than panel width = 4 seconds
- IE: window resize triggers same behavior as load with grid present
I notice that, when profiling IE, we spend a LOT of time in Ext.view.Table.onHeaderResize (7 seconds for a render, in my case), which spends a lot of time in restoreScrollState.

Comparing Chome vs IE 8 on the Desktop Sample App (and my own app) the amount of CPU usage under IE8 and EXTJS 4.0 is far higher than what Chrome is consuming. (Id expect to see some differences because of browser architecture) However... this is problem. Do the same test on 3.3 and IE 8 is actually using a little less CPU than Chrome.
I'd be interested to know what the official line on this is. Currently in terms of releasing a commercial EXTJS 4.0 based App, I'll have to detect IE and advise the end user it's not compatible. This would really limit my target audience down the Chrome and FF, which is not a great position to be in.
Please advise if the IE performance issues are being tracked / worked on and do you expect to resolve them?
Many Thanks
3 May 2011 1:29 AM #15
Just a thought... Could the performance issues in IE be due to DOM vs InnerHTML?
Has this changed under 4.0? DOM in IE performs very poorly, where as InnerHTML performance across the main browsers is comparable.

No, unless you've explicitly set useDom to be true.
I don't really notice much difference when loading the examples. Obviously IE is slower than Chrome/FF because it's an inferior browser, but I'm not seeing anything like the 30 second load times you've mentioned. Seems like other users (above) haven't been able to either.Evan Trimboli

Hi, I'm not setting useDom to True.
The really interesting thing is, like you say IE is inferior to Chrome and FF however under 3.3 the that was not very noticeable at all.
My dev box at home is a P4 3.5GHz Intel running on Win XP 32 bit, which gives the most noticeable performance issues. I have tried IE 8 and other peoples systems and IE always comes off a badly. On the very higher spec systems the IE difference is (as noted by other replies on this thread) plus 4 / 5 times that of Chrome. On a system that is more in keeping with the real world an app that takes 5 seconds to render on Chrome would be 4 / 5 slower in IE, e.g. 25 seconds!
The next problem is once IE has rendered the application, the experience is very sluggish indeed. The bigger the App, the more sluggish it gets. Again under 3.3 that problem didn't exist.
I'm simply comparing the same browser on the same box against 3.3 and 4.0. So as far as diagnosing issues that's a very valid and clean method.
Side by side IE 8 EXTJS 3.3 and 4.0, the latest release comes off very badly indeed, in fact not fit for purpose.
Please don't take my comment the wrong way, I'm not purposely slating 4.0, I actually really need 4.0 to make my app a success and always planned to move from 3.3 to 4.0 as part of the dev cycle. Knowing that 3.3 didn't have every thing I needed and 4.0 would give superior performance. As I said, no offence is intended and I know how much hard work has gone into 4.0 but IE is a very real problem.
3 May 2011 4:50 AM #18
@MrSparks, as I posted earlier, I'm not seeing extreme load times with IE8 and EXTJS 4.0 From my post #11 above:
Also, loads into IE8 via http://localhost/ext-4.0.0/examples/themes/index.html in about 5 secs. This is a win 7 64-bit Ultimate desktop with core i7 CPU (2.67 GHz) and 12 GB RAM. Of course, on this machine Chrome only takes about 1.5 sec.
3 May 2011 5:18 AM #19
So a large app that takes 5 Seconds under Chrome is going to take 17+ Seconds in IE. I say 17+ because the drop is not linier, based on my observations, the bigger the app gets the worse the performance drop gets. As I said in an earlier post, that's not the end of the issues, IE sufferers the same drop in performance in terms of UI responsiveness once the app has rendered.
3 May 2011 5:52 AM #20
p.s. I'm more than happy to work with the Dev team on this, supply exact performance data to help resolve the issue / anything else that might help. Do you have a preferred method of measuring browser performance against the framework? I've purposely not been using firebug etc because they place a varying overhead and would skew the results.

The 5 Most Shockingly Insane Modern Dictators
As part of our ongoing effort to educate the world about the mind-boggling insanity of the world's dictators, here are five leaders who treated their countries as playthings for their own deranged minds.
#5. Ne Win -- Head of State of Burma
Ne Win was the head of state of Burma from 1962 to 1981, and we're going to get this out of the way right now: He reportedly bathed in dolphin blood. He believed it restored his youth and vitality.
They're like a floating Club Med.
In general, Ne Win was superstitious to the point of insanity. He would cross bridges backwards, because he believed it would ward off evil. He consulted soothsayers on almost every aspect of his decision making, and they were crazier than he was. For instance, concerned that his regime was leaning too far left (being communist and all), Ne Win asked his soothsayers what he should do. They told him to change the entire country's roadways from left-lane driving to right. You know, to counter the leftness.
So, the next day, Ne Win promptly proclaimed that everybody had been driving on the wrong side of the road. Never mind that all the vehicles and intersections in Burma were designed with left-side driving in mind. The soothsayers know best!
Something tells us this man has cloves of garlic hanging from his dong.
The soothsayers also told Ne Win that nine was his lucky number, so from then on, he'd make new policies on days that had something to do with nine. Then he announced that he was going to change the currency into denominations of 15, 30, 45 and 90, so that he could live to be over 90 years old.
That may seem like a minor inconvenience until you realize he also decreed that the older, "unlucky" denominations would cease to be legal tender. Considering the fact that most Burmese hid their cash in biscuit tins, the entire country lost their savings overnight.
But hey! Look how colorful their buildings are.
What happened to him?
The denomination-changing dick move happened to be Ne Win's last. Everybody was so pissed off that the entire country completely flipped out. To calm the raging hordes demanding his blood, Ne Win had no choice but to step down, handing the reins to a guy called San Yu.
In his farewell speech, Ne Win bitterly warned the protesters that they were seriously not cool. In 2002, Ne Win's son-in-law launched a failed coup that was supposedly orchestrated by Ne Win. As a result, Ne Win was placed under house arrest, where he would die later that year. He had the last laugh, however, as true to his soothsayers' word, he lived to be 91. Holy shit, that means the dolphin blood thing is also true!
We've got this friend who says their tears can cure erectile dysfunction. He'll sell you a half liter for $50.
#4. Enver Hoxha -- Leader of Albania
Enver Hoxha became prime minister of Albania in 1944, but Hoxha wasn't satisfied with just that insignificant post. So he took all the Cabinet jobs for himself, calling himself "Comrade-Chairman-Prime Minister-Foreign-Minister-Minister of War-Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army Enver Hoxha."
Hoxha forbade the ownership of color televisions and typewriters all the way until the 1980s, because they were a distraction from the true Albanian way of life, which was, of course, communism. The color television part wasn't that bad -- they became prevalent only in the 60s -- but godammit, the typewriter was invented in 1870. Then, he banned beards. You know, because they're incompatible with communism.
Like a lot of dictators, Hoxha would use doubles, as he feared assassination. But far be it from him to simply ask for volunteers. Hoxha kidnapped a dentist in rural Albania who looked sort of like him, then forced plastic surgery on him to make the resemblance even more uncanny. The poor guy had no choice in the matter; he had to leave his life behind and live on pretending to be the prime minister in hopes he would get shot (after the collapse of Hoxha's regime, that man vanished -- there is a book about his story).
More than he was afraid of assassination, Hoxha feared a Soviet invasion. Lots of people feared that back in those days, but Hoxha dealt with the threat in his own uniquely crazy way: He built 750,000 random bunkers all over the country. On one hand, Albania was a country of only 3 million, so this seems like overkill. But then you realize each bunker was only big enough to hold one person.
Image by Marc Morell
We're pretty sure you could fit at least a dozen college students in there.
What happened to him?
Totally nothing. Hoxha stayed in power until the day he died. Toward the end, he faded from public view and wrote over 60 books on how he was awesome and everything he did was right. He left behind a shattered Albania that was the poorest country in Europe.
You'd think a totalitarian dictator could track down a barber with better comb-over skills.
Those bunkers that he built were also surprisingly indestructible and stand till this day, reminding everybody that though Hoxha is dead, the remnants of his dickishness will continue to live on.
#3. Nicolae Ceausescu -- First Secretary of the Communist Party of Romania
Nicolae Ceausescu attained power in 1965 by becoming the first secretary of the Communist Party of Romania after the death of his predecessor. Given that he was the leader of a late-bloomer communist country, you wouldn't think he'd have huge delusions of grandeur. You'd be wrong.
Via Romainian Communism Online Photo Collection
He was voted "Most likely to become a narcissistic dictator" in high school.
He called himself "Geniul din Carpati" ("The Genius of the Carpathians"). He even made a scepter for himself, prompting Salvador Dali to personally send a telegram to him making fun of said scepter. Of course, the deluded Ceausescu had no concept of satire and had Dali's letter published on the front page of the newspaper.
In 1980, Genius Ceausescu wanted a palace to further cement his godlike status. He planned it smack in the middle of the most historical part of town, and it required the destruction of 19 churches, six synagogues and 30,000 homes. Lauded as the biggest building in the world after the Pentagon, the project was ambitious to the point of stupidity. It cost Romania $10 billion and required a team of 700 architects. Or, put it this way: After his death, the palace was used as Romania's Parliament house ... and the entire Parliament is still only able to make use of 30 percent of the space.
They're able to hold some wild games of wall ball, though.
The thing is, the West was friendly to Ceausescu because he was so crazy that even other communists hated him. The British even knighted him, and France granted him its Legion of Honor.
Via Romainian Communism Online Photo Collection
Here Ceausescu isn't the creepiest person in the picture.
Via Romainian Communism Online Photo Collection
And here he's ... tied.
This only fed his mad delusions (really not such a good idea to bestow knighthood on a dictator version of Charlie Sheen), so he demanded that his nearly illiterate wife, Elena, be made a member of the New York Academy of Sciences and the Royal Institute of Chemistry. Back home, she was crowned "Comrade-Academician-Doctor-Engineer," and top scientists had to include her name in their research. He also proclaimed Nicu, his alcoholic, womanizing son, to be a "scientist of international reputation" and alleged that he had published several volumes on nuclear physics, proving to Romania once and for all that studying hard will get you nowhere.
What happened to him?
Ceausescu's utter obliviousness to the world in general also led him to be oblivious to how much his people hated him. In 1989, the entire country flipped out in an uprising. Ceausescu tried to calm the crowds with one of his many stammering speeches, but it only made the them angrier. Halfway through the speech, people started shouting and throwing things.
"You'd better run."
Ceausescu was captured days later, and in a hasty show trial, Ceausescu and his wife were taken outside and shot. And just to add insult to injury, the queen revoked his knighthood.

I always see pictures of the solar system where our sun is in the middle and the planets surround the sun. All these planets move on orbits on the same layer. Why?
We haven't ironed out all the details about how planets form, but they almost certainly form from a disk of material around a young star. Because the disk lies in a single plane, the planets are broadly in that plane too.
But I'm just deferring the question. Why should a disk form around a young star? While the star is forming, there's a lot of gas and dust falling onto it. This material has angular momentum, so it swirls around the central object (i.e. the star) and the flow collides with itself. The collisions cancel out the angular momentum in what becomes the vertical direction and smear the material out in the horizontal direction, leading to a disk. Eventually, this disk fragments and forms planets. Like I said, the details aren't well understood, but we're pretty sure about the disk part, and that's why the planets are co-planar.
It is a plane because we are orbiting the center of the galaxy very fast. Our eliptic is realy a spire with the sun the most massive object of our solar system draging us around with it.

Woods Wobbles to Win
When Tiger Woods stood on the 14th tee Sunday at the Players Championship, he held a three-shot lead and his march to victory seemed inexorable. But a weak hooked tee shot into the water on the hole made him scramble for his 78th career win, four behind Sam Snead's record.
"Sorry, Mom," Woods apologized afterward on Mother's Day. "I think she might have had a heart attack."
Woods's double bogey on the 14th hole pulled him back into a four-way tie with Sergio Garcia, rookie David Lingmerth of Sweden and 49-year-old Jeff Maggert. Both Garcia and Maggert hit tee shots into the drink on TPC Sawgrass's island-green 17th.
Garcia actually hit three water balls on the 17th and 18th holes, which might have satisfied Woods, since they don't get along. "I'm not going to lie,"Garcia said after being paired with Woods in the third round. "He's not my favorite guy to play with."
That left only the imperturbable Lingmerth, who hit a bold tee shot to eight feet on the 17th but failed to convert for birdie or to birdie the 18th to force a playoff.
With the victory, his second at the Players Championship, the 37-year-old Woods reached four wins faster than in any previous year.
"I'm getting better," he said.

"copper clad aluminum" but the ends look good. Ten bucks for a spare set for my wife's little Honda fit - in for one.
I bought the 16'ers for $15 last week. The quality is really good for the money.
It says 24.99 when I try to buy it, yet it's still in stock. What gives?
Shows $9.99 for me.
price only applies to shipped orders the deal is dead
@martycawley: Oddly enough, I tried again last night around 10pm. I was able to catch the deal to pick up at a store near me. Maybe try entering another zip code?

The answer to your question is "No".
In Halmos's "How to write mathematics" (which you can find by googling), he refers to using symbols rather than words as "writing in code". It might make the writer's task easier but that is irrelevant, because it makes the reader's life considerably harder.
Halmos's article is a very good guide.

It is known that the population of Palestine increased greatly between, say, 1880 and 1948. Apart from Jewish immigration there was also considerable Arab immigration (partly related to the economic impetus the Jews immigrants supplied to the land). Are there statistics that say which proportion of the Arabs in Palestine in 1948 came from families that lived there before 1880?
Looks like you're interested in this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Palestine#The_question_of_late_Arab_immigration_to_Palestine
The data to answer your question is immigration stats as exact measures of hereditary do not exist. You could always subtract net immigration from population increases to get a upper bound. (You could do some maths and model immigrant pop growth, but this would be hard and would result in spurious accuracy in this case).
The statement: "there was also considerable Arab immigration (partly related to the economic impetus the Jews immigrants supplied to the land)" is questionable. And the link above should help explore whether this statement is indeed true. For instance, people point out the 1931 census of Palestine only shows 2% of Arabs were born abroad at that time, but others think most immigration was unrecorded etc: a few essays worth of disagreement basically. Since it is a Israel/Palestine issue it is well cited, enjoy.

Akhil Reed Amar, Sterling Professor of Law at Yale Law School and author of the widely-praised book, America's Unwritten Constitution: The Precedents and Principles We Live By, will deliver the Third Annual Judge Leonard I. Garth Lecture at Rutgers School of Law–Newark. The lecture will take place at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, October 22, 2013.
|Akhil Reed Amar
Professor Amar's topic will be "Envisioning the Future: America's Unfinished Constitution," which is based on the final chapter of his book.
The event is free and open to the public but pre-registration is required at www.law.newark.rutgers.edu/garth-2013.
A 1984 graduate of Yale Law School, Professor Amar joined the Yale faculty in 1985 after clerking for Judge Stephen Breyer, U.S. Court of Appeals, 1st Circuit. He has been described as "a progressive law professor who is unafraid of the text of the Constitution" (Wall Street Journal) and "a commendably unorthodox and, in some ways, iconoclastic scholar" (New York Times). The Washington Post pronounced America's Unwritten Constitution, his most recent book, as "a masterful, readable book that constitutes one of the best, most creative treatments of the U.S. Constitution in decades."
Judge Garth is U.S. Circuit Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He was in private practice before his 1969 nomination by President Richard M. Nixon as a judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. He was elevated to the Third Circuit in 1973 and assumed senior status in 1986.
The law clerks and family of Judge Garth, and his former firm, Cole Schotz Meisel Forman & Leonard, PA, created the Garth Lecture Series in honor of their mentor and to promote the advancement of the law as the foundation of a just and free society so amply demonstrated by the judge's example.

Five Tips for Becoming a Successful Landlord
The crisis in the housing market has changed the game for many would-be sellers.
If you've tried unsuccessfully to market your home, perhaps it's time to hang out the "for rent" shingle and give the title of "landlord" a try.
Before you take this bold step, though, consider these five important tips to help make your venture more successful:
1. Understand the financial and tax implications.
If you are a homeowner with a mortgage, you probably already know that owning real estate can have benefits at tax time. By deducting your home loan interest you may be able to lower your taxable income and the federal income taxes you owe. In addition, by renting your home you may be able to state and deduct such items as insurance, taxes, maintenance costs, advertising expenses, rental management fees, utilities, travel to and from the property and legal fees. The property can also be depreciated over a period of years, making the tax situation even more attractive. (Keep in mind that there may be limitations on the losses you can deduct from renting property. Consult a tax advisor for help working through these issues).
On the other hand, there can be negative tax consequences when you sell the property. The IRS provides a generous tax break for sellers who have owned and lived in the home as their principal residence for at least two of the past five years. However, if they sell more than three years later, they generally lose the tax exemption. The three year clock starts ticking once you rent that home. If you have a significant capital gain on your property, you'll want to consult a tax expert to determine whether renting your property makes sense if it impacts the exclusion and to help you establish your timeline for selling without losing your tax incentive.
2. Do your homework.
Getting your property competitively priced for rental is among the most important steps you'll take. Check newspaper ads, call property management agencies and look at online resources like craigslist.org to check the price range for similar properties in your area. You may also want to visit a few competitors to hone your research.
Since tenant and landlord laws vary from state to state, you'll want to check the legal requirements in your area. Federal law governs such things as fair treatment for tenants and Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. You'll also want to visit with someone at your local municipality to determine if a rental permit is required.
Before you start your search for renters, download, edit and print rental applications and leases to have on hand for prospective tenants. If you are uncomfortable preparing such legal documents, you may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in fair-housing issues.
3. Establish the ground rules.
Once you've decided what you'll ask for rent, you'll be ready to establish the ground rules for potential tenants. Make decisions about allowing pets, smoking, yard maintenance, lease terms and other issues unique to your home.
Many landlords require first and last month's rent and a security deposit at the time of lease signing, but these are only guidelines. You might find a renter who is financially unable to comply with these requirements, but fits the bill perfectly otherwise. That's where your judgment comes into play.
4. Find the right renter.
Low cost or free options for advertising your rental include simply putting out a "for rent" sign or placing an ad on craigslist.com. You can also place an ad in the classified section of your local paper or on an online rental site.
Have prospective renters complete an application and ask them to submit it along with a recent credit report. Review all applications and rank them from most to least desirable based on their rental history, income and credit. Check references and criminal records for the finalists. If two candidates seem equal, your instincts may help you make a final decision.
5. Keep your expectations realistic.
Once the property is rented, your work is not done. Expect the phone to ring with questions and repair requests. If you're not the handyman type, establish good relationships with electricians, plumbers and carpenters who are willing to work within your budget and do repairs on short notice. The good news about today's job market is that many freelance handymen are hungry for the type of jobs you'll have as a landlord, and are willing to work at a reasonable rate.
Being a landlord can be financially and personally rewarding if you are prepared for the ups and downs of your new position. Don't forget, while it's still your home, it's someone else's now too.

Notre Dame's Awesome, Anxious Week
Let's take a journey inside the exhilarated but anxious mind of a Notre Dame football fan right now. What happened Saturday in South Bend was pleasant but also a little melancholy. The Fighting Irish thumped Wake Forest 38-0, improving their record to a stunning 11-0 before their regular-season finale next weekend against rival USC. Notre Dame was good but looked to be in a jam. Despite the win, they appeared destined to stay locked at No. 3 in the BCS standings, behind shiny Oregon and Kansas State, where they'd wind up getting locked out of the national championship.
It was a thrilling, surprising Irish run. But also a tiny bit of a bummer, you know? Time was running out. The most storied college program in the sport had a real shot at going undefeated, only to get brushed aside as a third wheel. If the BCS title game didn't happen, there was talk about Notre Dame playing in the Rose Bowl against Nebraska. Also nice. But also kind of meh.
Then, in a staggering Saturday-night twist, Kansas State lost to Baylor. Then Oregon lost to Stanford.
Notre Dame, which began the evening standing on the outside, tapping against the window glass, was suddenly bursting through the front door—and a decisive No. 1 when the polls were released on Sunday.
Now Saturday's mega showdown against USC in Los Angeles is something much dreamier—a shot to qualify for the national championship on Jan. 7, a scenario some skeptics thought Notre Dame would never encounter again.
For Fighting Irish fans, this turnabout must be pretty exciting, right?
Well, sort of. This is going to be a very nervous week. I called the person I felt could best explain it.
I called Regis.
"Nervous? I am scared to death!" said Regis Philbin, Notre Dame class of 1953. It was Sunday afternoon; he had just come from church. Everything about this situation was making Regis edgy. The undefeated season. The No. 1 ranking. The national-championship chatter.
But mostly Regis was worried because underwhelming USC—a preseason No. 1—had lost Saturday to its crosstown rival UCLA. This was no good, Regis said. The Trojans were down in the gutter, with a season that could only be redeemed by crushing Notre Dame's dream Nov. 24 at the Coliseum.
This made Regis wary.
"It's a bad omen," he said.
Regis said hello to someone who recognized him as he talked on the phone. "I am walking in the street now," he explained. "People are waving."
He began speaking to these people. "Watch Notre Dame! SC is gonna be a problem, lady!"
Now let's backtrack just a moment. It is not possible for anyone to love anything more than Regis loves his Notre Dame football. And Regis, like every true Fighting Irish fan, is crazy about this 2012 team, which began the season with modest expectations—ranked 24th in the USA Today poll; not even ranked in the AP. But they'd wildly exceeded those predictions, propelled not only by a tenacious defense but also an improving young quarterback, Everett Golson, who passed for 346 yards and three touchdowns versus Wake Forest.
These Irish seem ahead of schedule. They are not a flawless outfit—that offense can be erratic, and Notre Dame nearly blew its undefeated chances in early November against Pittsburgh before winning in a third overtime. But they've won big games against teams like Oklahoma and Stanford, and under head coach Brian Kelly, they've displayed remarkable grit. The year has been a repudiation of the fashionable idea that vaunted Notre Dame couldn't compete in the 21st century.
Now, once more, it comes down to USC. At 7-4, the Trojans seem utterly beatable, especially with quarterback Matt Barkley suffering a shoulder injury on Saturday. But to Irish fans, that's the scary part. Southern Cal is now the cranky team with nothing to lose. USC coach Lane Kiffin gets to slide even more comfortably into the villain part.
Four times in Notre Dame history the Irish have lined up undefeated teams against USC and lost. And you have to understand. Regis was there in 1964 when Ara Parseghian's undefeated Irish came to the Coliseum.; Regis had an interview lined up with Parseghian at the 50 yard line for 9 a.m. the next day, win or lose (the Irish lost; Parseghian showed). Regis was there in 1970 when Joe Theismann threw for 526 yards in the rain against USC and the 9-0 Irish still fell short. The showdown gives him shivers. Even before the crazy weekend unfolded, Regis told ESPN.com, "the whole season is wrapped up in the USC game."
But this is a new team and a new era. Notre Dame's transformation is not complete, but it is under way. The undefeated Fighting Irish are going to USC to play for everything they want. There are already fantasy whispers of an irresistible national-title game between Notre Dame and Alabama. It is real, unexpected and a little scary.
"I am not going to sleep this week," Regis said. "I want you to know that. I know you don't care. But it's very important to me."

5 Criminals Who Pulled Off Major Crimes With Only a Phone
When we think of criminals, we tend to think of two types: The street-level thug committing his crimes with a gun or a fist, and the upper-level management, dictating orders to the thugs below. But there's a third type: The guys who picks up the phone and decide that crime sounds like a fun thing to do today. And sometimes -- not often, but sometimes -- they succeed in astounding ways.
#5. Interstate Bank Robbery
The prize for Greatest Telephonic Bank Robber of All Time goes to the as-yet-unknown super-criminal who managed to rob $58,000 from four banks across four state lines back in 1973, using nothing more than a series of phone calls.
Question Nothing
Wait, why didn't they catch him? There are giant arrows pointing right to him!
The robber kicked off his long distance spree in Nashville, then moved on to Springfield, Illinois, Topeka, Kansas, and St. Paul, Minnesota. He was about to scoop up $16,280 in Indianapolis, but the feds finally caught on by that point and had a trap set up for him ... which he obviously slipped.
You may have noticed that these telephonic bank hits all took place in state capitals. Coincidence?
Or incredibly boring world tour?
Of course not.
How He Did It:
In each case, the mystery caller (whom we will refer to as the Capitalist from now on) would phone up local banks, posing as an aide to the state treasurer. He then requested that thousands of dollars in cash be sent to the treasurer's office, for "payroll" purposes. Miraculously, that's all it took: Mentioning generic terms like "payroll" and "treasury" sent whole banks scurrying to ship huge amounts of money as soon as humanly possible. The Capitalist even arranged for Brink's armored trucks to transport the funds, and, in one case, even a state trooper to escort the money. And again: There were no accomplices, no brilliant hacks and no dynamited vaults -- he did all of this alone, and entirely by telephone.
After all, they don't give just anybody telephones.
After the money was safely en route, the Capitalist would immediately call the treasurer's office, claiming to be an official from the bank -- which had made an error -- and ask that the money be rerouted to a different state office. Step 3, as is so often the case with unsolved crimes, is still a series of question marks to this day, but Step 4 was always "profit": He somehow got his hands on the money, every time, and absconded with it scot-free. Just as mysteriously, the Capitalist somehow knew about the feds' trap in Indianapolis and never showed to pick up the money there. Afterward, he ceased all activities and simply walked -- or possibly flew on a blimp shaped like the capitol building -- away, never to be identified or apprehended, with more than $58,000 (close to $300,000 when adjusted for 2011 dollars) in his pockets -- or possibly in giant green bags with dollar signs on them.
"We didn't get much of a bonus that quarter."
#4. Swatting
Long before people were hacking computers, they were hacking phone lines. They called themselves phreakers, because everybody knows nothing freaks out the squares like digraph substitution. Back in the 1960s and '70s, phreakers would game the telephone systems for stuff like free long distance and conference calls. Since old phone systems worked entirely off of tones, some of the very best phreakers could hack simply by whistling into a handset. And because life is awesome and apparently comic book logic actually applies sometimes, some of the early masters were blind: Josef Carl "Joybubbles" Engressia found that, because he'd been deprived of his sight, his heightened sense of pitch allowed him to whistle-hack phone lines effortlessly like some sort of criminal/songbird hybrid.
Watch and freak right out.
Cut to 2005: 15-year-old Matthew "Lil Hacker" Weigman is considered by the modern phreak community to be one of the best young phone hackers out there. But before you get cute, old-timey images in your head of whistling rogues hacking free phone calls to their sweethearts, you should know that modern phreaking is more about delusional sociopathy than inventively exploiting archaic technology.
Case in point: When Richard Gasper, the father of a phone phreak groupie -- yes, there is such a thing, and no, that sadness you're feeling inside won't ever go away -- denied Weigman's 3 a.m. request to have phone sex with Gasper's groupie daughter, Wiegman did precisely what you'd expect: He hung up.
And then sent in a SWAT team to exact his revenge.
They all agreed it would be totally hilarious.
How He Did It:
First, Lil Hacker made sure the 911 call was caller ID spoofed, meaning that it showed up as actually originating from within the Gasper residence.
Aaand that's the end of our high-tech hacking segment: It was just simple impersonation and persuasion that convinced the 911 operator that Weigman was an armed gunman holding the Gasper family hostage. You can hear the actual recording here, and you have to admit, it was a pretty damn convincing performance for a 15-year-old kid. Perhaps blindness has lent Weigman a heightened sense of behaving like a psychopath. At any rate, when Gasper stepped out into the police floodlights, explaining for the second time that he'd simply been pranked by a spurned and horny teenage boy, SWAT scoffed at him -- "Ha! Can you believe he tried that old excuse?" -- and slapped on the handcuffs.
"And you say Mr. Gasper is a 'complete dickhead'? We'll inform the negotiator."
Lil Hacker was eventually caught, but not by an elite squad of technological anti-heroes in a battle of code: He didn't like having an investigator following him, so he showed up on said investigator's doorstep with his big brother and threatened to beat him up.
Forget your shining towers of light and zipping light cycle battles: That's what hacking really looks like, ladies and gentlemen.
Less of this and more hilarious petty scheming.
#3. Hotel Demolition
In the annals of prank call history, the thugs that operate at Pranknet have an entire mean-spirited wing devoted to their exploits. Their pranks transformed the phone prank victim from "person mildly annoyed at having Prince Albert in a can" to "confused elderly man smashing his way through a motel wall in order to free a non-existent midget."
How They Did It:
The Pranknetters would dial straight into the room of a random hotel guest, posing as employees of hotel security trying to contain an emergency situation, such as a deadly gas leak or venomous spider infestation. The callers then convinced the victims to remedy the situation with a series of increasingly ridiculous tasks, such as busting out all the windows, setting off the fire sprinklers, shattering the bathroom mirror with the tank lid of the toilet or, in one case, persuading a confused motel clerk to have a man back his semi truck into the front door of the hotel.
Thus proving two things: One, it's generally ill-advised to assume that phones are magic truth-serum machines incapable of conveying lies, and two, you shouldn't get high in motels; you'll probably end up burning down the bed to prevent the spread of the dreaded Duvet Plague.
There have been several more equally vile and outrageous mutations of the standard hotel prank, resulting in such things as:
A hotel guest being tricked into ingesting his own fecal matter.
"Do I just like, saute it or what?"
A man in a Motel 6 being coaxed into battering his way through his hotel room's wall in order to liberate a midget he'd been told was trapped in the next room.
A front desk clerk being duped into drinking a cup of urine she'd been told was a free sample of apple cider, brought down to the lobby by a guest who had in turn been cajoled into submitting a urine sample to the clerk as a safety measure in light of a "Hepatitis C outbreak in the hotel."
"... warm cider?"
But there's good news: The leader of Pranknet, a somewhat elusive figure who goes by the handle "Dex," isn't some brilliant, faceless mastermind. In 2009, The Smoking Gun tracked him down quite easily, revealing the "overlord" behind these pranks to be Tariq Malik, a 25-year-old living with his mother in Windsor, Ontario.
We're starting to think that Hollywood's image of the slick, genius hacker wunderkind skateboarding through the Internet might be just a little bit exaggerated.
The Smoking Gun
Yeah, we can see Sandra Bullock hooking up with that guy.

On my MacBookPro with OSX 10.5.8 and Intel iMac with OSX 10.6.1, both with Safari 4.0.3 Leanna graciously walks into the home page when entering the website.
Why she don't show up on all Macs is an issue that is hard to tackle, the reason can be at the user side, a server hiccup, a network router, etc, so IMO there is not much that can be done to solve this issue.
The most important thing to know that it is not related to a specific OS (OSX) or browser (Safari).
My advice; clear the browsers cache (under menu Safari), do a fresh computer startup and try it again.
Your website is stunning! It helps to showcase what is possible with DW.
Being a beginner on all this I can only make minor changes here and there. As I learn more on this hole DW thing the errors you spotted will slowly disappear (hopefully).
The girl only plays once and feedback on her is good thus far. I also have a version of her for the store but not sure yet if I am happy with what she says - may need changing.
The menu is rollover initially and others have mentioned same. Nav bars are a bit more tricky for me and I'll look at changing this a little later.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Appreciate the feedback. For those that don't see her nothing really lost but a bit of eye candy. A good percentage of our visitors are unique first timers and I thought the intro to be appropriate (unless you forget to turn down your speaker volume.
Great job! It really looks good. My only suggestion would be something a little different with the camera settings page. Maybe a PDF so you can print it out and take it with you on the road.
Leanna will no longer grace the screen - at least not from the one time auto-walk on feature. To see her visitors will need to click on her image at bottom of home page.
We had a report of her coming on continually with a Safari user and we want to keep our Mac users happy

Hi Bill,
thanks for changing the appearance of leanna for all us mac users. Everytime i went back to Home, she began to talk again without seeing her. Was a bit annoying.
Thanks for changing this and good luck for all the rest. Cause of a great number of fans i am sure you will get the information about bugs etc very soon. And be sure, we enjoy your site even in this first stage of development.
Once again cheers,
Cause we read, listen, and send hints

What is the meaning of and proper way to use the phrase hit the nail upon the top?
I've gotten this comment on my blog:
Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.

I glued some magnets onto my power drill battery to use for storing drill bits on - but will the magnets affect the battery life?
For one, the magnetic field generated by the magnets are going to be small potatoes compared to the magnetic fields generated by the motor while in use. Two, battery chemistry is essentially unaffected by ferromagnetic fields of the magnitudes you'll encounter in everyday life. Thirdly, there exist specialty tools that have a big magnet on them out of the factory, designed for drilling holes in large pieces of sheet metal, and those of course have no problems.
Unless the magnet is strong enough to lift several 747s off the ground, it's not going to have any impact on your battery.
Doubt it. I've carried several magnets right on top of my blackberry and all is well. I consider the drill heavier duty than a blackberry so I think the drill will be fine.
An 18V (Ni-Cd) drill I personally own has a rather strong magnet mounted directly over the battery (intended for holding extra screws and such). I rather doubt they're do that unless they were reasonably sure the magnet wouldn't cause battery problems.

Not playing too long so I probably won't provided all the detail needed. Blinds are at $200/400. Hero has QQ. Villain raises to $800 pre-flop. Hero and a few others call. Hero recalls villain has made minimum raise at BB after half the table limps in and loses with nothing to justify the raise. Hero bets $2000 on the AQx flop. Villain calls. Hero bets $2000 on the turn. Villain calls. Hero bets $2000 on the river. Villain raises leaving him with only $1100 so Hero puts him all in. Turns out Villain had AA in the hole. How badly did Hero play this one?
My first impression is there's not much wrong with the hand, if anything at all.
A reasonable case for 3-betting Preflop can be made, but that depends on the type of players behind you left to act. I'm more inclined to 3-Bet if they are mostly Loose-Passive.
Clearly, you have what most people consider a "Value" hand in this situation. From the looks of it, you seem to have around T$8000 in your stack preflop, your flop bet is about 1/2 - 2/3rds pot(?) which seems normal and a fair play. At the turn, you size the bet about T$2000 into a T$7500 pot. If I'm right then assuming the turn was a blank non-scary card, the sizing looks fine with the intention of moving all-in at the river, whatever the card.
It's just an unfortunate hand. IMO no-one, including the villain did anything wrong. It's likely it's a reciprocal situation, i.e. Villain would lose in the same manner if the roles were reversed.
Unlucky on this one, better luck next time. :)
It would help in analyzing this hand if we knew the stack sizes of the players at the table. That could change a lot of factors. Regardless... You made a few mistakes here, but getting your money in was not one of them.
First, preflop: Against a min-raise (e.g. a raise that only increased the bet by 1x the big blind), it is almost always a big mistake to just call preflop with a hand as strong as QQ. Reads can factor in, but there are very few situations where you are justified in just calling here. Your hand is very likely to be best, and you should be looking to play a large pot against a single opponent. By just calling a small bet, you are encouraging this to become a multi-way pot with several others in the hand. Further, with about 8k in your stack at 200/400, you are in the 20xBB state. You need to be taking down pots and building your stack through aggression, not sitting back, letting several players in the hand, and hoping that your hand wins.
Also, I'm unclear about something: How did Villain raise before you preflop and then allow you to be the one betting postflop? Were you in the blinds? If so, that makes it a much bigger mistake that you did not re-raise preflop. If not, then that means that Villain checked to us. This is a very important piece of information - you should always note that he checked after being the preflop bettor.
On the flop, you now have a strong enough hand to try to find a way to get the money in. With "a few others calling" preflop, I'm going to assume that the hand was 4-way with 4000 chips in the pot (800 for each player, plus part of the blinds). You have just over 7k left in your stack at this point, so it should be pretty easy to get the chips in. It appears that Villain checked to you. If that is the case, betting 2000 into 4000 is definitely reasonable. A slightly larger bet would be ok too. Chances are good that someone at the table has an Ace and will call. If Villain was acting after you, there's an argument to be made for checking with the intention of raising once the Villain bets (as this is a flop that is likely to have someone bet, and you have a small enough stack to get all-in just from the turn and the river if everyone ends up checking).
It is a close call as to whether you are better off betting or checking (assuming that Villain did not already check...if he did, you must bet). To me, it comes down to where the other players in the hand are located. If at all possible, we want to maximize the chance that they also call a bet. So if they are between you an Villain, I would tend to bet, but if they are after Villain, I would tend to check-raise (hoping to lock up some of their chips if they call).
On the turn, you had about 5000 and the pot was now 8000. The standard play here is going to be to shove. A bet of 2000 isn't horrible though, as your hand is strong enough to warrant making a small bet to encourage action. Then on the river, you bet 2000 out of your 3100 stack into a pot of 12000. That was a mistake. You should have shoved here. Every hand that will call the 2000 will also call the 3100. Most of the time, your set is going to win here. By letting your opponent get off with calling 2000 instead of 3100, you have cost yourself 1100 chips. That's reducing your stack after this hand by somewhere in the 5-10% range for absolutely no gain. Even though it looks like a small difference, leaving those chips on the table will add up to big differences in the long run.
