Confessions of a Marsha Jordan Girl
When blueberries are in season and I'm feeling nostalgic for my younger days, I dig out a purple-stained card from my recipe box and begin baking blueberry muffins. Although the ingredients–flour, sugar, vanilla, eggs, baking powder, and salt–don't seem magical, when they're combined in a certain way with enough berries to turn the batter a pale lavender and topped with a heavy sprinkling of sugar, these muffins can transport me back in time.
As they bake, if I close my eyes, I can go back to when I was Ann-Marie, not Ann. I can picture a happy half-dozen of them snuggled into a white bakery box, the lid open, and me trying to choose the blueberriest one of them all. It's a long-ago Sunday afternoon, and our house is filled with relatives, some who show up every Sunday and some who drift in and out over the years. My grandmother, Mama Rose, is hoisting a pan of lasagna from the oven, trimming fennel to serve with a dish of oil for dipping, stirring a pot of red sauce–"gravy," we called it–and making coffee, seemingly all at the same time, moving around our tiny kitchen–"the pantry," we called it–as in a well-choreographed ballet. She made that coffee right on the stove, with eggshells added to the grounds to cut the bitterness. In "the kitchen," the room other people would have called the dining room, the relatives ate Auntie Etta's cookies: small round ones fried and covered in honey, then topped with colored sprinkles; delicate butter cookies shaped like wreaths and seashells; and her "daffodil cake," an angel-food cake with egg yolks stirred in at the right time to create the shape of daffodils in bloom.
And … the muffins. They came all the way from Boston, from the Jordan Marsh bakery. I'd never been to Boston, never been to Jordan Marsh. It loomed large and sparkling in my imagination. I thought it must look like a palace, its floors filled with dazzling mirrors and fancy women spritzing perfume at customers as they passed. We had department stores in Rhode Island, sure–but none that produced muffins the size of those, none the size of Jordan Marsh's, none that dwelled in a city like Boston.
The only rival to Jordan Marsh in my mind was its rival store, Filene's. My birthday, December 9, came the day before my godmother's birthday. Auntie Ellen herself was a romantic heroine to me: tall and blonde, her makeup always perfect, her hair always flipped just so. She had no children of her own; that gave her an air of tragedy but also added to her mystery. Auntie Ellen never had to run off to pick up her kids, never smelled of applesauce or baby or the other things our own mothers smelled like. Instead, she could go all the way to Boston, just to shop at Filene's.
My birthday presents always came from there, arriving in their own wrapping paper and tied with a perfect red bow. One year, I opened the box to find a brown suede bracelet with a gold rectangle in the center, and in that rectangle, in the fanciest script I'd ever seen, my own name: Ann-Marie. It was the most sophisticated gift I'd ever received, made even more so because it came from that Boston mecca of sophistication, Filene's.
Founded by a German immigrant named William Filene, it was originally called Filene's Sons & Company, a group of many small shops. In 1881 Filene combined them to create his department store on Washington Street, where Eben Dyer Jordan and Benjamin L. Marsh had opened Jordan Marsh & Company, the first departmentalized store in the country, 20 years earlier.
Filene's and Jordan Marsh began many of the services contemporary shoppers would come to take for granted. Both stores were elegantly designed, with products from around the world sold in different departments. As a way to sell excess merchandise, Edward Filene, William's son, opened the bargain annex that came to be known as the famous Filene's Basement. He also developed an automatic markdown schedule that's still used today. Filene's slogan was "Money back if not satisfied." Next door–just across Summer Street, the cross street that divided the two stores–Jordan Marsh pioneered its own services for shoppers, including charge accounts and the policy that "the customer is always right." It was also one of the first stores to feature electric lights, glass showcases, telephones, and elevators. And it also had art exhibitions, the bakery that produced those blueberry muffins, and fashion shows, a specialty that would reach across almost a century to me in Warwick, Rhode Island.
The Warwick Mall opened about a mile from my house in 1970, when I was 14 years old. At one end: Filene's. At the other: Jordan Marsh. To me, the arrival of these two department stores heralded an opportunity to buy the clothes and makeup I drooled over every month in Seventeen magazine. It meant that even for a girl like me, someone who sat and stared out the window dreaming of a vague but glamorous future, sophistication was within my grasp. And the stores turned out to be exactly as I'd hoped. They dazzled and enchanted me with their displays of goods. Cosmetic counters filled practically their entire first floors; the air smelled of Chanel No. 5 and Shalimar. When I walked into either of those stores, I became someone new. They held the future, I thought: my future.
One summer afternoon as I was walking from the mall entrance toward Jordan Marsh, a woman called to me. She had the best posture I'd ever seen on a real person, and she sat at a makeshift desk. Her smile stretched brightly across her face. "Have you ever considered modeling?" she asked me.
"Yes," I said, without hesitation. I'd considered every occupation I thought would throw me headfirst into a glamorous life: modeling, cruise-ship hostess, airline stewardess.
"We're putting together a fashion board of eight girls," she explained. "'Marsha Jordan' girls," she added.
Before she could continue, I was filling out the application. "Do you know what you're going to wear on the first day of school?" she asked me.
Know? I'd made a chart of my outfits all the way through October. "Hot-pink hot pants with a matching maxi vest and a pink-flowered shirt," I said.
"Hot pants with a maxi vest …" she repeated, impressed. She made a note and told me that 16 girls would be called for final interviews.

Our guest, Dr. Paul Meier of The Meier Clinics (www.meierclinics.org) answered a question from a listener about the patterns we fall into in relationships. Check it out:
Dear Dr. Meier,
I grew up in a home with a critical and rejecting father. Now I am 27 years old, a successful professional woman. I would love to fall in love and get married and have children some day, but I seem to attract men who are nice at first, but end up being critical and rejecting like my father. Do you have any suggestions?
Sincerely, Briana
ANSWER: Yes Briana,
According to psychiatry research, about 85% of our adult personalities are laid down by our sixth birthday—the way we look at life, at men, at women, at marriage, at God, and even at ourselves. We tend to see ourselves in the eyes of our parents. If they are rejecting, we erroneously think we are rejects and deserve to be rejected. If abused, we erroneously think we are trash and deserve to be abused. If loved and respected, we have a healthy love and respect for ourselves, and do not put up with rejection, chauvinism or verbal abuse from potential lovers, friends, co-workers or even churches. A woman who grows up, therefore, with a critical and rejecting father will tend to have low self-esteem, and to be automatically attracted to guys like that when she is old enough to date. She would try to fill the "hole in her soul" that her father left there.
In therapy, Christian counselors would help you to do the following to help you to get over your addiction to rejecting people (known as CODEPENDENCY):
1. THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. Realize that your life is being hurt greatly by lies you learned in childhood and that the truth will set you free from most of the misery you are facing.
2. GOD WANTS YOU TO LOVE AND BE LOVED. Realize that God wants you love and be loved by people who know the real you and love you just the way you are without using you in unhealthy ways.
3. WE ALL TEND TO NATURALLY REPEAT CHILDHOOD PATTERNS. Realize that we all tend to repeat the patterns we get used to in childhood, so avoid critical and rejecting friends and boyfriends. The more you love and are loved by healthy friends, the less needy you are. And the healthier you get, the less needy you will be, so your "blinders" will be removed, so you won't be fooled by rejecting people.
4. BECOME YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND. Decide to become your own best friend, and make a written pledge today in the back of your Bible to make an effort to quit saying negative lies to yourself, and only say to yourself what you would say to your best friend under the same circumstances. If you lock your keys in the car, don't lie by calling yourself a stupid idiot. Tell yourself the truth that you would tell your friend if she locked her keys in the car—"Welcome to the human race. We all make mistakes." The more you love yourself in a healthy way, the better choices you will make in your relationships.
5. GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR EMOTIONS. Become more aware of your true emotions, rather than stuffing them. Hang out with friends with whom you can laugh, cry, confess, share anger, share loneliness, and who will share their emotions with you as well.
Got a question for Dr. Meier? Feel free to share it here or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you missed what Dr. Meier had to say, please listen here.
Happy Make a Difference Monday! It's time to share your stories...how have you gone MAD lately? Has someone done something kind for you? Tell us about it!

5 Insane Scams That Should Have Failed (But Didn't)
Most scams involve three essential steps: coming up with a somewhat plausible scenario ("I'm a dying businessman in a faraway country"), promising the victim something they want ("I have all these millions to give away") and getting them to give you something in return ("Oh, the bank fee is just 2,000 bucks"). Sometimes, however, the scammers forget the first step and just go with the most transparently bullshit stories ... and somehow still fool everyone.
For a while, anyway -- otherwise we wouldn't know about the time when ...
#5. Butcher Pretends to be Wealthy Woman's Dead Son ... and She Believes Him
photos.comThe Ridiculous Scam:
Sir Roger Tichborne was the heir to a British fortune who went missing during a trip to South America, along with the entire ship he happened to be standing on. Ten years later, in 1866, Sir Roger's mother still hadn't abandoned the hope that her son might turn up somewhere, so she published a series of ads promising a "most liberal reward" for any information of his whereabouts. That's when Arthur Orton, a broke butcher living in Australia, went up to Lady Tichborn and said, "Yep, that's me. I'm totally your son."
Left: Sir Roger and his pimp hat. Right: Arthur Orton and an extremely unlucky chair.
Leaving aside the fact that Orton was the size of like three Sir Rogers, another thing that undermined his blatant attempt to claim a dead man's fortune was his voice: Tichborne grew up in France, meaning he spoke English more or less like Inspector Clouseau, while Orton couldn't understand a word of French and had a thick Cockney accent that was obvious even from his brutally misspelled letters to his "ol' mum." Lady Tichborne took one look at the uneducated, unscrupulous scammer trying to profit from her grief and told him to eat every dick and get lost.The Success:
Wait, no: She told him, "Welcome back, Roger!" The old lady was so desperate to believe that her son had returned from the dead that, discarding the nearly 200 pounds of evidence standing in front of her, she mistook Orton for the guy she had given birth to. And, of course, once Lady Tichborne declared that this was Sir Roger, other members of the family followed suit.
"It's him! I'd recognize that nose anywhere!"
Orton's time as a member of the Tichborne clan would have lasted a lot longer if Lady Tichborne hadn't croaked two years later, sending her heirs (real and pretend) into a long legal battle for her estate. In 1872 Orton lost the case and was prosecuted for perjury after it was determined that he lacked a couple of distinctive body tattoos Sir Roger had (efforts to locate them between the folds of his skin claimed the life of a constable). Still, most of the common classes continued to side with poor "Sir Roger" for years.

#4. Too-good-to-be-true Car is, in Fact, Too Good to be True
photos.comThe Ridiculous Scam:
In 1974, while the United States was in the middle of an oil crisis, one Geraldine Elizabeth "Liz" Carmichael arrived out of nowhere and promised a magical solution to our woes: a new three-wheeled car that was much faster, cheaper, and stronger than any competitor and used almost no gas -- it was simply fueled by its own awesomeness. Carmichael claimed to be the widow of a NASA engineer, although no one bothered to ask "Which one?"
"If you run out of gas, it also runs on snake oil! I've got some over here ...
The "Dale" supposedly ran at 70 miles per gallon and cost $2,000 (around $9,500 today). Also, it was made of "rocket structural resin" and could hit a brick wall at 30 miles per hour and suffer almost no damage, because why not? If the above claims haven't tipped you off that the whole thing was bullshit, then perhaps the fact that the motor appeared to be installed the wrong way around in the schematics shown in the Dale's brochure might:
"That's, uh ... what allows it to travel backward in time. To avoid accidents."
Of course, that brochure wasn't accurate: When a photographer for Car and Driver went to get some shots of the miracle car at the Dale's headquarters, he managed to pop open the hood and saw the following things: 1) a lawnmower engine, 2) the accelerator simply lying on the floor, and 3) no steering wheel. The little dwarf who normally made the car run had taken a bathroom break, presumably. Who the hell would fall for a scam like that?The Success:
Lots and lots of people, it turns out. Liz Carmichael got more than 3 million freaking dollars in advance sales before a single Dale vehicle was produced, despite not even bothering to get all the licenses and shit you usually need to sell cars. The '70s press called the Dale "the car of the century" and a "space-age automobile" -- again, none of them had even seen it running. The whole country was so high on the idea of a car that would singlehandedly bankrupt the Big Three (also, cocaine) that no one stopped to think how that was even possible.
When it was revealed that the Dale was built of a mish-mash of parts from other stuff, including a vacuum cleaner and household door hinges, Liz vanished along with the money. She was discovered in Miami working for a dating service not long after and was also found to be a wanted felon named Jerry Dean Michaels.
After the police took her wig off, Liz uttered something about "those pesky kids and their dog."
#3. Comedian Makes Up Story About Satanism, Becomes National ExpertThe Ridiculous Scam:
Mike Warnke might be the biggest Christian comedy act the country has seen -- yes, even bigger than Victoria Jackson. Warnke first rose to prominence in the '70s when he published The Satan-seller, a book about a wide-eyed orphan who becomes the leader of a gang of drug-dealing Satanists who rule California; the protagonist also has "waist-length white hair, 6-inch fingernails" and dozens of hippie chicks throwing themselves at him in orgies. No, this isn't a comedy; it's Mike Warnke's "biography."
For the record, this is what the "Satanic sex-magnet" looks like.
Among other things, Warnke's book claimed that Satanists sacrifice around 2 million Americans every year (or the entire population of Houston), that he and his pals were able to summon real demons, and that at one point he was the high priest of a coven of 1,500 people. Mind you, Warnke was supposed to be doing this at the same time that, according to actual friends, he was a short-haired college square involved with the Campus Crusade for Christ. The book ends after Warnke finds God and leaves Satanism, and also becomes a decorated war hero in Vietnam while he's at it.
"I had a couple of hours to kill and said, 'Eh, what the hell.'"
There were literally hundreds of people who could be contacted to confirm or deny Warnke's fantastic tale, either because they knew him during that time or because he made them up for the book. Now guess how long it took for someone to do this. Six months? A year? Nope: two freaking decades. In 1992, Cornerstone magazine published a thorough 20,000-word collection of Warnke's easily disprovable lies. In the meantime, his book had become a best seller and he had turned into the nation's foremost expert on Satanic cults, aiding police and educating the masses on TV. Here he is making shit up on 20/20. Yep, this guy almost singlehandedly created the Satanic scare of the '80s.
As well as the Shadowy Ghost Wolves scare of the late '70s.
At the same time, Warnke was also selling millions of Christian comedy albums and saving souls through his ministry ... and pocketing most of the donations (in 1991, they collected $2,000,000 and $900 made it to charity). Oh, and did we mention he loved having affairs and splitting his wife's head open? When he was finally exposed, Warnke admitted he'd slightly inflated his number of Satanic followers from 13 to 1,500, but still insisted that the rest of it was real. He's currently trying to make a comeback despite being a well-documented piece of shit; hey, maybe he does have a sense of humor after all!

"We already lead the market by offering the most original local news Monday through Friday, and with this latest expansion, we'll be able to make that claim seven days a week. …That doesn't mean, however, that our weekend telecasts will just be watered-down versions or rehashes of our weekday newscast. We're investing in a lot of new full-time staffers who will be devoted exclusively to this newscast and our intent is to produce as much fresh, original content for our weekend viewers as we do during the week."
Co-anchors for the "WDRB Weekend Morning News" will be will announced at a later date.

Unanswered: Ext.List and MySQL
I am developing a app that retrieves a list of Airports from a remote MySQL database and list them in a Ext.List When the user taps the disclose button it will reveal more information about the airport.
My initial setup was just to retrieve the whole database into a store but the problem is that the database size is 6.6MB and this is a problem bandwidth and time wise. I thought that I could retrieve only the id and airport name for the list and then tapping on the disclose button will initiate a new store and retrieval for the MySQL database based on the id of the airport.
- Is this possible?
- Is there an example that I can follow to see how this is done?

When I create the list, I basically download all the information connected with each airport so when the list initialize the download is 6.6MB.
Thanks for the reply.

I would advise using the pageSize parameter on initializing the list. This will require server side implementation to add an appropriate LIMIT clause the the MySQL query.

DataGridView control allows you to click the row headers and select the rows (the whole row is highlighted), or use the mouse and click and drag to select multiple rows, etc. to select all of them.
Anyway, I need the rows to stay selected if the user decides to click on a cell somewhere in the
DataGridView. So, if the user clicks on a cell in one of the selected rows, the selected rows should stay highlighted. If the user clicks a cell in a different, unselected row, all the currently selected cells should stay highlighted. As a matter of fact, I don't want the row selection to change at all unless they use the row headers.
Is this something that's easy to configure, or am I in for a few days of hacking?

I'm trying to generate rasters whose values summarize the mean value of a given parameter (slope, curvature, etc.) of the upslope terrain. I feel like this should be doable using only a flow direction raster and a raster of the parameter of interest, but I don't really know where to begin. I've seen this instruction http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&f=995&t=303114, but I can't seem to figure out a way to interpret it that produces a result that makes any sense. I'm familiar with ArcMAP, QGIS, SAGA, and a bit of GDAL and GRASS, so I'll gladly accept instructions for any of these platforms.
Thanks for the reply. I actually figured it out yesterday and hadn't had a chance to mark this as "solved." I had been interpreting the advice on the ESRI forums as the following steps:
This didn't make very much sense to me, but I tried out a couple variations anyway, with interesting but nonsensical results. Eventually, I realized that what I was supposed to be doing was running flow accumulation weighted by the slope values (sum of slope uphill from a cell), then dividing this by the unweighted accumulation (total area uphill from the same cell). So, even though I initially misinterpreted this advice, it did get me looking in the right direction.

Kenneth Morton Eberhard
Kenneth Morton Eberhard was born October 8, 1922. He passed away August 14, 2011. Ken was born in Boston, MA to Walter and Margaret Eberhard. While attending MIT in Cambridge, MA, he joined the United States Army and proudly served as a Second Lieutenant during WWII. Once the war ended, he returned to MIT and obtained his civil engineering degree in 1947. He then went on to earn his teaching certificate at the University of Washington. Ken enjoyed hiking, skiing, golfing, playing tennis, but most of all, traveling the world, so much so, that after he earned his teaching certificate, Ken accepted a position in an American school in Germany, where he later met his first wife and mother of his children, Hildegard Gisela Stein. Several years after moving back to the United States, they divorced and he moved to Colville, where he raised his two daughters. In 1975 he married Monica Kilgallon. They spent many happy years together, traveling, dancing, playing games and spending time with both his and her families and friends. Ken was preceded in death by his wife Monica in 2006. He is survived by his brother, Sid (Elly) Eberhard, Sun City, FL; sister, Jean (Bob) Hughes, Duxbury, MA; and all his "girls" and their husbands, including daughters Katharine (Fred) Bonallo, Edmonds; and Lorraine (John) Barnes, Chazy, NY; grand-daughters, Kitel, Ashley, Heidi, JoAnne and Kenna; and great-grand-daughters, Anyka and Evelyn. He is also survived by his wife's much-loved children, Sharon, Leslie, Steve and Roy, and by their spouses and many children and great-grandchildren. Ken was a man of few words, but when spoken, his words were always honest and true. Love was not a word spoken, but was shown in many ways. He will live in the hearts of those he held dear. A time of remembrance will be held for family and friends at a later date. Donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Foundation. Please share memories at www.becksfuneralhome.com.

We are really excited about Make A Difference Monday, and we are hoping that it's a simple reminder about how much of a difference you can make. The Bible says that it is kindness that leads people to repentance, who knows how God will use the kind things that you do to bless and encourage someone else. There are so many people that need that today. Maybe it's buying someone a cup of coffee in line behind you, or taking somebody out to lunch... It doesn't take a whole lot, just remember this "Little things don't mean alot... Little things mean everything!" Thanks for looking for ways that you can Make A Difference! Please share what you've done...or what someone has done for you!

Hi !
Will there be a sencha version in the future in metro design language (adapted sencha touch ? ) to
develop Windows 8 and Windows Phone apps...
It is Alive!
I was wondering when this would happen!
I'd love to see 'My Add-ons' page directly accessible by a link I could send someone, or publish in my profile, whatever. Can't see how I could do it...
I just updated my Sencha Market extension, LintRoller:
- https://market.sencha.com/users/25/extensions/127
Now supporting JSLint, JSHint and...
Any chance of getting a separate forum for Market Place 'wish list' items?
It would be helpful to have list that has the option for voting so...

I would like to create the same effect as on Pinterest when you click on an image: a modal window opens up but the URL of the page also changes. This last part is crucial: the URL in the address bar of the browser has changed, but we still see the original page content in the background (that's why I call it a modal even though it may be much more complicated than that). I am ideally looking for a jQuery solution.
[edit] I should add that of course the Pinterest behaviour does not break the Back button which is, again, crucial.

Four years in, Madoff trustee still pursuing assets
|FILE - In this Monday, March 19, 2012, photo, David Sheehan, representing the trustee for Bernard Madoff's fraud victims, leaves federal court in New York. Irving Picard, the trustee appointed to recover funds for Madoff victims, and a battalion of lawyers headed by Sheehan have spent long days untangling Madoff's fraud. On the fourth anniversary of Madoff's Dec. 11, 2008, arrest, it's an international effort that shows no signs of slowing. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)
NEW YORK — When he was first told in 2008 about Bernard Madoff's epic Ponzi scheme, attorney David Sheehan had a response that now sounds inconceivable.
"Who," he wondered, "is Bernie Madoff?"

" The most important lesson is he is living in a country club jail while some lady is facing 30 years for stealing 80K from one family. What Madoff did wrong was not have a billion dollar PAC, like Corzine, to supply congress with endless mailings and commercials. If he did we would all still think the guy was a genius and they would have given him a distinguished medal or something. "

Users of the website need to able to store images in their "area" , should I store these in the database directly or create a directory for each user. Or should I just have a single directory for all images and in the database store a list of images that each user owns? I'm looking for the most effecient way, which I think is a folder for each user?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
If you have many pictures per user like avatar and gallery of photo created by the user then use separate folders named with the user id or a hash of the user id.
If you only store avatars have one big folder where the name of the image is the user id or hash of the user id.
It depends on how many pictures there are.
If there is only one picture per user, then perhaps all in the same directory.
However if you have albums and such, there can be millions of photos with all the users photos in the same folder. This would be very slow to search in. Then I'd go with one folder per user.
Also, never give direct access to the folders. Use your database to link to the files.
Better use folder or a cache folder. You can also use resizing functions for the image, so if user upload a large scale picture. Your script will manage to create different sizes, like avatar pics. And cache those images. So thumbnail or avatar viewers only viewing the cache image of the original image. And the large image is usable for future work, like a bigger preview of the avatar.

STEUBENVILLE - Bishop Jeffrey Monforton of the Catholic Diocese of Steubenville told members of the city Rotary Club about himself and his new mission during the club's Friday luncheon meeting at the YWCA.
Monforton was ordained as bishop Sept. 10 at the Franciscan University of Steubenville. He said he was serving as a monsignor in Detroit when he got the call he would soon be a bishop.
"On the 25th of June I had celebrated my 18th year as an ordained priest," said Monforton, adding he had been ordained a monsignor in 2005.

Bishop Jeffrey Monforton
He said he remembered well the day the papal nuncio's office in Washington, D.C., had left a message on his phone for him to call the ambassador. Monforton said he knew then that change was coming.
"(The pope's ambassador) called and wanted to talk to me," he said. "Life as I knew it was about to change."
The ambassador informed him Pope Benedict had appointed him as the new bishop of the Diocese of Steubenville.
"Please tell the Holy Father I humbly accept," Monforton said he told the ambassador's office. "I then immediately went and Googled Steubenville."
That appointment made Monforton the fifth bishop in the history of the diocese as well as the second-youngest bishop in the United States. He followed R. Daniel Conlon as the bishop of Steubenville. Conlon served as bishop from 2002 through 2011 before being named as the bishop of the Diocese of Joliet, Ill.
"I'm thrilled with my new appointment," he said. "I hope to retire here as bishop in 26 years."
Monforton said he began receiving messages from friends about the hospitality of the Ohio Valley. He said he believed he'd fit right in, as his interests included cooking, barbecue, eating, reading, sports and traveling.
Monforton said he spent last week visiting the different Catholic schools in the diocese.
"It provided me the opportunity to get to know these schools," said Monforton, adding he wanted to get "a snapshot" of the diocese. "I put 1,000 miles on my car last week, but it was worth it."
The bishop said it was his duty to tend to his parishioners, including the youngest pupils enrolled in parochial schools in the diocese.
"If they are asking questions about the faith, then it's my duty as shepherd to answer them," he said. "We have to be able to see eye-to-eye with people. We're all members of the human race, and there are times we need to be on one knee (to reach others)."
The diocese Monforton leads covers 13 counties and 5,913 square miles in Eastern Ohio, and includes 37,011 Catholics.
He also discussed issues the area is facing, such as economic uncertainty and decreasing population. He said coming from Detroit he understands the challenges and concerns, and plans on being "an instrument of hope."
Monforton also complimented Rotarians on their mission of service above self.
He added he believed the area had challenges, and for citizens to "Keep your hearts and minds open. The bottom line is that God knows what he's doing. My brother and sister Rotarians, you make things happen. God bless you."

What took the Jews 8 days to produce new oil when rededicating the Temple in the Chanuka story? It seems the process of oil-making takes a lot less time (I have done it in Israel on one of the tourist trips), so what exactly historically took 8 days?

Another answer (Beis Yosef, Orach Chaim 670, s.v. והטעם) is that the actual pressing would indeed take a day, but that they first had to undergo seven days of purification (from tum'ah contracted by contact with corpses, of which there were plenty during the battles against the Syrian-Greeks) - since, after all, the whole point was that they needed oil that was free of tum'ah.
The Ran in Mesechtas Shabbos 21: and the Rokayach in Hilchos Chanuka say that it took 4 days to travel to the location where they made the oil and 4 days to travel back, hence 8 days. The Meiri in Mesechtas Shabbos 21: says that the place where the oil came from was Tekoa.

The majority of patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) present with advanced Stage III or IV disease, and often have a prolonged course characterized by multiple relapses. First line therapy for advanced stage FL is generally chemotherapy; for recurrent disease, options include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation. FL is considered to be one of the most radio-sensitive tumors, and previous studies have demonstrated high response rates to low-dose (4 Gy) involved field radiotherapy (LD-IFRT) in recurrent FL. This is a prospective cohort study of patients with symptomatic recurrent B-cell indolent lymphomas treated with LD-IFRT. It describes the response rates and duration of response following LD-IFRT, and represents the largest series published on the topic.
This study provides useful data regarding the response rates and duration of response to low-dose (4 Gy) involved field radiotherapy for recurrent indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, with an overall response rate of 92%, a median time to progression of 14 months, and a median time to local progression of 25 months. Low-dose involved field radiation should be strongly considered as a highly effective palliative treatment with high response rates and rapid onset of response. Retreatment with LD-IFRT for a recurrence after a first LD-IFRT regimen provides a similarly high response rate. This regimen is a valuable asset in the management of follicular lymphoma patients and is an option for recurrent disease.

Convicted killer's parole denied
February 23, 2013
COLUMBUS — A man who was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison in connection with a 1987 murder in northern Jefferson County will have to wait another 10 years before applying for parole....
Wow look at the intelligence that is poring out of Ohio in these comments. No one is asking to forget everything that has happened. But at least give my dad credit for turning on his brother and telling the police what happened. My father is haunted everyday by what has happened to Kevin and the fact that he didnt do more. Granting him a release will never change that!!! Everyone needs to read the facts before postiong your opinion about things you know nothing about.

I am sure the family is happy that Robert was denied. I think it is wrong to keep him in longer. He has done nothing wrong while he had been there and if it was not for him the other ones may have not been caught. He was a very scared young man when he showed up at my house. He has never lied to me and I know in my heart he did not lay a finger on Kevin. He may not have written any letters because he does not read or write well. He has some one else do it for him. He tries to figure out the words and does try. I love my brother and proud of him for coming forward. He would have been with Kevin in Heaven had he stayed out here with those other 3 threatening him. Some day I hope the family will be able to forgive him or at least try to. I know there is a lot of hurt. But what he did by turning those other 3 in saved the family of lot of grief wondering who did this to Kevin.

Truth, Justice and the American Way are all diametrically opposed to Mom Rape, which is why this crap doesn't fly with most superhero teams. If someone had tried it with the X-Men, you would need a mop to pick up his adamantium-stabbed, laser-burned remains. Lucky for Marcus Danvers, he tried it with the Avengers.
Despite their moniker of "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" they do not enjoy the same popularity or respect as other teams. It's not surprising when you remember the team includes Thor, a god worshiped by marauding rapist barbarians; Giant Man, a wife beater; Iron Man, an alcoholic; and a certain green monster only famous for losing his shit and punching down buildings on a daily basis. And those are the famous guys. Makes you think Captain America only joined them to keep an eye on them.
So one day the Avengers return to their mansion and find their fellow superhero Ms. Marvel eight months pregnant, and she was not pregnant at all yesterday.
Will they investigate and fight whatever alien entity is using poor Ms. Marvel as a freak baby factory?
Or they can act like giggling schoolgirls at their first Baby Shower. Yeah, that can work too.
A little later, despite the help of the Avengers, Ms. Marvel gives birth to Marcus without dying or bursting into flames. The seemingly normal baby begins to grow up quickly because there is no time to lose when incest is the game. And from his mouth we learn where he comes from.
What? OK, see if you can follow this shit:
So the Avenger's supervillain, Immortus, was feeling lonely in his own dimension. He kidnapped some woman and made her fall in love with him with his "machines." We assume the machine in question is a robot that shoots rohypnol darts at anything with boobs.
And from this half happy/half brainwashed union, a son was born (into this other dimension). But the family wouldn't stay together, the mom drifted back to Earth and Immortus, thanks to some time traveling shenanigans, fought and killed a younger version of himself erasing himself off the map. Wait! Shouldn't Marcus cease to exist too? HEY, no time for questions!
Marcus, left alone, decided he wanted to enter our universe. So he kidnapped Ms. Marvel and, with a little help of his dad's date rape machines, got her pregnant... with a fetus version of himself.
At this point in the story, anybody else would have jumped over the guy and started delivering punches like a drunken Chris Brown at the Spousal Abuse Olympics, but these are the Avengers. Really, Thor probably thinks Marcus is a wuss for using his date rape machine instead of just leaving her unconscious with a hammer blow to the head.
Wait, there's more! It is of course at this point in the story, after Marcus has popped out of Ms. Marvel's birth canal, that they begin a romance. Yes, when Marcus is ready to go back to his own dimension, alone, Ms. Marvel is moved by his story (and also by his brainwashing machines) and decides to live with him.
Hey, why not? It's at this point that Iron Man puts the final touches to the story.
Well, Ms. Marvel just got brainwashed, abused and finally kidnapped and taken by the son of one of your enemies to the super duper rape dimension right in front of your eyes. So yeah, we guess it all turned out awesome for you and everybody who is not Ms. Marvel.
#1. Giant Vaginas Everywhere!
Who wouldn't want to have genitals the size of a fire truck? Let us tell you who wouldn't: women. Comic book artists have been smuggling giant vaginas into comics for quite a long time. Usually by drawing things that are not vaginas but have the shape of vaginas. For instance the interdimensional gate from the pages of Hawkgirl you can see above. To open it you have to buy her dinner first and from some place fancy.
Or these well lubricated alien monsters from the pages of Flash.
We don't know how Flash can fight these things. If you punch them your whole arm will go inside, and then things can get pretty awkward. And the last thing Flash's marriage needs is alien monsters calling to the house with "Hey, remember that time your fist got inside me... wanna go to the movies or something? I miss you."
But those are just things that look like vaginas, not actual vaginas. After all, a real giant vagina would never get past an editor, right?
Oh, wait. Meet Valda.
Valda first appeared in the backup story of Countdown to Adventure. Her superpower, other than being able to eat your house by sitting on it, is to give birth to weapons. We are not sure how that works, what kind of weapons come out or how much they need to clean them before use; because after her first appearance, she never showed up again.
Despite that, Valda was a bonafide member of the team of heroes from that story; she appeared a grand total of one panel. It's like Abraham Lincoln used to say, "You can smuggle a giant vagina some of the time, but you can't smuggle giant vaginas all the time." At least to us that sounds completely unnecessary; after all, giving Valda a plus sized muumuu would have solved the problem.

Archive for the 'mixbit social video' tag
YouTube founders' brainchild, MixBit, launches as iOS app
Several months ago, we reported that YouTube founders, Steve Chen and Chad Hurley, were working on a new social video service called MixBit, which they were more than happy to tease.
Over the months, MixBit has gotten lost in our distant memories, but today it's back and it looks quite appealing. MixBit has been launched officially in the form of an iOS application that records a 16 second video clip, with a twist. Unlike Vine and Instagram Video, MixBit allows you to edit and remix videos, making clips of up to an hour long. Videos are submitted anonymously and no comments are available making trolls all the more less and remixing so much better.

Occasionally I see the use of the word "data" in definitions. For instance, one definition of an exact sequence starts off by saying, "An exact sequence of abelian groups (or modules or vector spaces) is given by the data of two homomorphisms [...]" (Perrin, Algebraic Geometry).
I've heard this term used in class as well once. In these instances data of course does not refer to data as used in statistics, as in data from an experiment.
What is the purpose of using such a strange word in abstract mathematics? Has anyone noticed this word?

So Bazaar!
Mix ultraluxe autos with posh boutiques, and you'll set the scene for an unforgettable night. Toss in a sophisticated group of guests, and you're guaranteed an affair that'll raise the bar for glamour in O.C. Yes, we've just described Riviera's first Spring Bazaar celebrating this year's Men of Style. Upscale vendors set up shop at Eurocar's chic Costa Mesa showroom to display their worthy wares to the 400 partiers. There was a men's lounge, where the Logan Bros. Shaving Co. primped gents, while Stellé Audio Couture hit just the right note with ladies. And a catwalk lined by Bentleys, Porches, Mercedes—you name it—was where fashionable guys like Eddie Alba, Alfredo Molina and Steve Schulze modeled apparel from David August. So who else was on hand? Stylist Deborah Keillor, Eurocar's Tilo and Paula Steurer, Sarah DeAnna—and you, but of course. Photography by Reza Allah-Bakhshi

Barren County School Superintendent, Dr. Jerry Ralston says, "We had a meeting. We didn't take any action. But we wanted to discuss facilities in the direction this was going to head in the next few years."
At Tuesday night's meeting, the Barren County Board of Education discussed three options for their growing community.
"The first was Barren County Middle School, building an additional Middle School, which perhaps could be a seven to nine center."
Overcrowding in the schools is a problem especially at the middle and high Schools. Right now the middle school has 620 students but it was built for 550. The high school has 1200 students, about 200 more than capacity.
"We also discussed the possibility of an additional Elementary School if we built an additional 7th elementary school then we think can ensure growth for this district for a number of years."
The third option was to build a Trojan Academy at the current location between the middle and high school.
"It would house 9th grade students and some accelerated 8th grade students."
Last year Barren County's Board of Education bought this property on HWY 90 West in anticipation of a growing population and the need for more schools.
"We haven't decided which school it's going to be. But it may be a middle school and perhaps a second high on down the road."
Ralston says enrollment in Barren County Schools is currently at 4200 students and is growing at an increased pace. He also says the sooner the board decides which option to take and what schools to build the better off the district will be for many years to come.

I get an error while install xbrightness.
requires libXaw8.so.8()(64bit)
How can I install it?
I doubt that was compiled on Fedora. Even on rawhide, libXaw only provides
Looking a little deeper, it looks like you're trying to install an openSUSE package on Fedora. While at times that might work, I wouldn't recommend it.
As a general rule, you might be able to rebuild source rpms from other distributions on Fedora, but there's no guarantees that the package names for the build dependencies will line up. In this case, they don't.
That said, it is pretty easy to figure out what the build dependencies should be. I've done just that. There is a totally untested package here: http://steve.fedorapeople.org/xbrightness/

The president's health-care plan
In easy-to-navigate Web site form! Is this another must-read for the educated observer of the political scene? If so, I hope you didn't plan to get much work done this week.I haven't done more than glance at it yet myself. I'm happy to see there's a section on how the Senate bill already includes many of the provisions the Republicans requested -- pace the enduring myth that Obama/the Democrats have been refusing to consider meaningful bipartisan compromise. (See Ezra Klein.) But what I like best is the Q&A format of "What Reform Means to You." Got a question about your health care? They've answered it. Are you cranky? They've built that right in. "Q: What are you going to do about all the confusing forms I have to fill out?" Yeah! And how come when I call my insurance company, I have to punch in my account number, and then they ask me for it anyway? And why is it so hard to get to a real person on the phone? And why is the print on the back of the medicine bottle so small?...

I've got a question I don't think the White House has answered on their new website. A clear statement from the President about how his plan deals with the abortion issue would be especially useful. As the post above indicates, it's important to dispel myths.Is it possible to link to such a statement or is this a second-order issue to be settled by disinterested experts and administrators in the future?
Reihan Salam evaluates Ezra Klein's analysis here: http://agenda.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZjU2ZjQ4Njg5ZDdjNmYwY2M3ZDUzMTc...
Quick question: who's Rehain Salam and is he objective? Or, for that matter, same questions for the gift of god (a self promoting title?)
Bob, Mrs. S might describe him as a far-right son of a...but I am assure you, as a far right cook myself, he is frustratingly centrist. If forced to describe him, I'd say he was a degree or two right of center.
OOOOOhhhA neato website! With easy to understand questions to all my questions! And look, it says I have nothing to worry about. Sign me up right away!hmmmm - what's that, a government agency will set prices? I understand that approach has worked . . . well . . . nowhere.Further evidence that the Obama administration doesn't get it. All they have done is take the Senate bill, tweak it, package it in a web site, and tell us its new and improved. Sooner or later he will have to stop treating the American people like fools and actually listen to them.
Bush got it so much he didn't even try it on health care. Obama is starting to realize that he has to communicate better and not let the Tea Party or others to define him. He is realizing that many in the opposition are looking to win elections and not do anything about health care. The fools are those who think the Tea Party and the like represent the American people.
Sooner or later he will have to stop treating the American people like fools and actually listen to them.Should he listen to the majority of Americans who want the public option?
DavidIs it really a majority of Americans who want the public option? I did not know that. What is your source?
Hopefuly, we'll get some informed discussion on this post 25th meeting. In the meantime, let the partisanship roll on here.
BillWhy is it that when people disagree with liberals the answer is always they are too stupid or too gullible to fully comprehend the wonderfulness of progressive ideas? This is more of the same. Isn't this the greatest communicator since Ronald Reagan? Isn't it just possible that this isn't about the form but the content of the message? And isn't it just as true that the Democrats will push for almost anything regardless of whether it is a good idea just to say they did "something" in time for the elections?
**Why is it that when people disagree with liberals the answer is always they are too stupid or too gullible to fully comprehend the wonderfulness of progressive ideas? **Sean, they don't think those who disagree are stupid or gullible. They think those who disagree are evil liars. EVERYONE knows that the liberal view is ALWAYS correct. Thus, to disagree is to lie.Just take a look at the "discussion" in these pages about enhanced interrogation and torture for proof of this.
Sean and Bender,Your thoughts reveal you. Or what you accuse is your own behavior. The health care battle is not about facts but politics. Obama is realizing that there is no reasoning with the opposition who just want to oppose. He really has been too nice. His opponents just want to oppose him and have no interest in covering the thirty million Americans who are not insured.Sean, my play on the word fool was in response to your use of the word. My point is that health care is necessary. Why negotiate with naysayers. Especially when you have the votes.
BillOf course my thoughts reveal me - don't yours? You say the problem is about letting others define him. Be serious. The Tea Party and the town hall meetings were completely ignored by the biggest media outlets in the country for months until it became too big a story to ignore. The president has been on Oprah, Leno, all the Sunday morning shows talking about his agenda. He has given more than twice as many media interviews as any of his predecessors in his first year, and almost all of those have been the softball variety. He has an independent PAC pushing his agenda using his millions of leftover campaign cash. He made an hour long address to a joint session of Congress that was carried by ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, PBS, CNBC, MSNBC, and C-SPAN. Almost every major newspaper in the country has editorialized in support of his agenda. He has super majorities in both houses of Congress. And we are supposed to believe he's having trouble getting his messsage accross because of the Tea Party? Yes, the mighty Tea Party, with all their money and all their influence in the halls of Congress, the media, and institutions of higher learning have prevented The One from communicating his message effectively. Yes, the health care debate is about politics, but it is also about facts.Fact - the president's proposal will allow an executive agency that he controls to effectively set health insurance prices.Fact - the president's proposal will create executive agencies appointed by and accountable to him to establish regulations setting out what is "qualified" insurance coverage, and what medical treatments and procedures are appropriate for which people based on a general assessment of "effectiveness."I am sure to hear that states already do this and insurance companies already do this, but you will have to excuse me when I am just a little concerned when the most powerful entitity in the world does it - and will likely do it badly.Of course the opposition wants to oppose - that doesn't mean they are wrong. The fundamental problem is that the president doesn't want to just cover the uninsured. In fact, his own proposal still leaves at least half of the uninsured in the same boat they are now. This proposal is about control and it is about an incremental approach to a nationalized system. This is something he has said he supports since well before he ever ran for president. If he wants to get his message accross, he ought to be honest about what the message is.
Sean,The fact remains that the insurance and drug companies drive this debate and have thwarted universal care up to now. No one has a bigger hammer than them. They are able to fund and support any opposition to health care no matter how shameful its composition; like the Tea Party which is a very, very small minority. This is the issue you have to address rather than mount the usual anti-Obama campaign.
BillThe insurance companies and drug companies haven't spent a dime in opposition to the president. You are thinking 1993 not 2010. What evidence do you have that the Tea Party is being funded by drug and insurance companies? They aren't. The insurance companies aren't spending money on opposing the plan, they are pouring money into lobbying congress to get a plan that will favor them.I am always baffled by liberals who rage against the power of corporations and then support giving the federal government the ability to dole out largesse to them and decide economic winners and losers. You don't help limit their power and influence this way, you just provide them with convenient one stop shopping. It's a lot easier for GM to convince 375 congressmen and senators to bail them out then to get 2 million people to buy a lousy car.Now the president, on the other hand has, the AARP, the AMA, the SEIU, the AFL-CIO, most large corporations like the auto industry, and the drug companies on his side. Not to mention the New York Times, the Washington Post, The LA times, ABC, CBS, NBC on his side.
"They arent. The insurance companies arent spending money on opposing the plan, they are pouring money into lobbying congress to get a plan that will favor them."Lobbying, opposing? Same difference. Like the guy who was fired by the drug companies because they felt he did not get them a favorable deal.
**His opponents just want to oppose him and have no interest in covering the thirty million Americans who are not insured.**Case in point. Those who say they oppose ObamaCare on the merits are lying -- they don't really have a good faith disagreement, rather, they "just want to oppose him" and want to make sure that people go without healthcare. That is, anyone who opposes this is an evil liar.Meanwhile, Obama's "plan" isn't a plan at all, it isn't actual legislative language, but is instead a campaign speech downloaded from his teleprompter. The Congressional Budget Office cannot even begin an analysis because it is so lacking in details.
Enough discussion about the discussion. If anyone has looked at the plan and would like to respond to it, go ahead.
I understand about the plan, Mollie. But politics is what will bring a health care bill or not. The merits of the plan has very little to do with it, unfortunately.
MollieWhy don't you tell us what this means. All I see in this web site is a sales pitch.Why doesn't it mention price controls? That's part of the plan, but it doesn't show up in the Q&A. The Revenue part talks about how it will save a fortune - but not how it will be paid for. The formal proposal includes several new agencies, but this web site doesn't mention one.
No, I think you're right, Bill -- at this point, the health-care-reform push is about politics. And yes, Sean, a sales pitch is precisely what the Web site is.
BillThere is a difference between lobbying and opposing since most of that lobbying money is being spent on Democrats who support the legislation. Look at any of the disclosure web sites - most of the campaign money from these evil industries you identify is going to Democrats, not Republicans.
No doubt money is going to Democrats also and they may be getting more because they have the votes. This does not absolve the drug and insurance industries. In many ways we are a one party system with Wall St., Drug and insurance companies, etc controlling both divides. We have to go where justice leads us and right now this democratic president has the edge. In health care, not in Afghanistan.

Harris Feels Safe, Continuing To Lie!
Congressman Andy Harris continues to lie and misrepresent the facts. He says that a majority of Americans don't want to see the debt-limit raised? A straight-out lie! The highest figures I've seen by researching the entire internet on this issue, was 44% opposed…hardly a majority. It was a poll conducted by a Republican (McInturff) AND a Democrat (Hart), so it was not bipartisan.
It's about time that Harris be called out as the easy liar he is…as was editorialized recently by the Cecil Daily Times. Add his lies to the fact that he has opposed any legislation that would help the Eastern Shore, in any way, and we have every reason in the world to look elsewhere for a candidate who will truly represent our District. My vote is with Dr. John LaFerla, a man of integrity and strong desires to see the Eastern Shore move forward, with jobs, infrastructure and balance for our farmers and the environment.
Dr. LaFerla was one of the first on the site of Sandy devastation, calling upon Congress to help fund relief efforts. Where was Harris? Devising his excuses for voting against the Sandy Relief package. John LaFerla offers ways to fix our problems; Harris just adds to the problems and refuses to accept responsibility for his actions. This is why former Congressman, Wayne Gilchrest, has endorsed Dr. LaFerla…and why we all should!
For more information on Dr. John LaFerla, go to www.JohnLaFerla.com

Does anyone know what's the exact effect of security cameras in the First World Bank mission? We played the mission with and without destroying the cameras, and we're not sure it's making a real difference. The Payday's wiki says this:
By the time you start heading to a room with a copier you probably have killed or tied up most of the bank security personnel and shoot some cameras to weaken future SWAT assaults on your team a bit.
But I doubt it. The only difference we noticed is that only two elevators' doors will open if you destroy the four cameras in the security hall. If you don't, the four gates will open.

Extend with Jackson?
Thanks pagullo,great work!
Your djn is awesome!
I have made a directly ORM framework with Ext by djn, and It works well.
The only suggestion is, do you consider to change gson with Jackson?
It's much more efficiency and can easily extend to google app format.
I changed it by myself, but I strongly recommand u change it,too.

You modified the library to use Jackson instead?
Is your version available anywhere?
I'm very interested in taking a look at how it works.

Switch to slf4j for logging
What do you think about using SLF4J as a logging facade instead of hardcoded LOG4J for logging. This gives us the possibility to change/adapt to a logging framework used by the application which embeds DirectJNgine.

Steps are quite easy:

Instead of log4j-1.2.15.jar use slf4j-api.jar and the binding slf4j-*.jar depending on the logging framework, you would like to use, e.g. slf4j-log4j12.jar

Import org.slf4j.Logger and org.slf4j.LoggerFactory, instead of org.apache.log4j.Logger

Change all Logger.getLogger( xxx.class) to LoggerFactory.getLogger( xxx.class)

Fix some errors, e.g. logger.fatal is not supported by slf4j, use logger.error instead

In DirectJNgineServlet.java change org.apache.log4j.NDC to org.slf4j.MDC

Instead of NDC.push/pull use the MDC map of slf4j (put/remove)

Adapt the logging statements to use placeholders instead of concatenated string (Performance)

On most occurences "if(logger.isDebugEnabled())" can be removed, as calling logger.debug() is not a performance issue anymore.

Advantages: We use logback as our logging framework. This gives us the possiblity to set different log level at runtime. No need to restart the application. Depending of the application even a per session / per user logging in separate files is possible.

Any comments?!?

I like slf4j and the way it isolates you from the underlying logging system, and I thought about this some time ago, but decided against it.
Why? The built-in log4j viewer (Chainsaw) + slf4j MDC + log4j adapter stack is less functional for "just-in-time" log analysis than the log4j NDC + built in viewer stack: NDCs are shown and can be filtered dynamically with the built-in viewer, MDCs are lost.
Sometimes, that functionality is *very* useful for me, when debugging server side code. While writing DJN itself, it proved invaluable. Therefore, I could not justify back then spending extra effort to get less functionality in my own usage scenarios in order to get slf4j support.
So, unless I get into a project that devotes some development time for me to do this, I do not plan to support slf4j in the near future. And, believe me, I would love to do it, as I know it would be useful in some scenariosPedro Agulló, Barcelona (Spain) - pagullo.soft.dev at gmail.com

Like n0n3 (who posted on 14-Jul-2012) I am also trying to implement a paged grid panel using a directjngine back-end. Actually, what I'd like to do is create a buffered (infinite) grid, where paging is handled when you scroll through the grid. Is it possible to do either of these things? If so, could you point me toward an example?
Currently I'm able to display a grid panel with a paging toolbar and load the first page by subsetting the data to be returned. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to pass back the total number of records (so the paging toolbar will show "Displaying 1 - X of Y" and enable the next button). How can I pass back the total number of records in the dataset?
I feel like there will be more challenges to overcome before I can get a buffered grid working, but getting it working with paging is the first step.

Sencha and forms
Hi, I'm using DJN with Sencha; It's been working perfectly until forms.
When I create a form like is said in the docs as so:
Ext.define('mdms.mynote.view.components.MyNoteForm',{ extend: 'Ext.form.Panel', config:{ hidden:true }, constructor:function(config){ Ext.apply(config,{ url: Ext.mdms.BASE_PROVIDER_URL, api: { submit:InsertNote.perform }, items:[{ xtype: 'textfield', name: 'descContact', value: 'hello world' }] }); this.callParent([config]); } });
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet DjnServlet threw exception com.softwarementors.extjs.djn.router.processor.RequestException: Form post request is missing the following parameters: extAction, extMethod, extType, extTID, extUpload at com.softwarementors.extjs.djn.router.processor.RequestException.forFormPostMissingParameters(RequestException.java:117) at com.softwarementors.extjs.djn.router.processor.standard.form.FormPostRequestProcessorBase.checkNoMissingParameters(FormPostRequestProcessorBase.java:103) at com.softwarementors.extjs.djn.router.processor.standard.form.FormPostRequestProcessorBase.process(FormPostRequestProcessorBase.java:61) at com.softwarementors.extjs.djn.router.processor.standard.form.simple.SimpleFormPostRequestProcessor.process(SimpleFormPostRequestProcessor.java:62) at com.softwarementors.extjs.djn.router.RequestRouter.processSimpleFormPostRequest(RequestRouter.java:69) at com.softwarementors.extjs.djn.servlet.DirectJNgineServlet.processRequest(DirectJNgineServlet.java:609) at com.softwarementors.extjs.djn.servlet.DirectJNgineServlet.doPost(DirectJNgineServlet.java:580) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:637) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:290) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:233) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:191) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:127) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:293) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:859) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:602) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:489) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680)

DJN works with forms from the very first version. I suspect there is some configuration error or some missing step in the javascript side -I think you are using the right annotation in the Java side, but just check it.
The DirectJNgine code includes some tests that exercise this feature, you might want to take a look at the javascript/java code.Pedro Agulló, Barcelona (Spain) - pagullo.soft.dev at gmail.com

DJN 2.2 does not support form submit for ExtJS 4.1
The issues all revolve around the fact that DJN's responses to form submits do not at all conform to the specified responses here: http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!...n.DirectSubmit (see "sample success packet" and "sample failure packet"). This bug manifests itself in different ways:
1) No support for void @DirectFormPostMethod methods.
A void method that completes normally (without exception) will have the "failure" callback called in ExtJS because DJN's response has the "result" property set to null.
My current workaround for this bug has been to always return an object from form post methods, which has a success field hardcoded to true. Another workaround is to return a boolean and return true if the method completes successfully.
2) No support for exceptions thrown from @DirectFormPostMethod methods.
When a form post method throws an exception, DJN will send the serialized StandardErrorResponseData class. This does not have a "result" field as required, with a "success" value set to false. As a result, ExtJS will call the failure callback, but will do so for the wrong reason. ExtJS treats it (and other malformed responses) as a connection error, rather than a server error. The error metadata (message, serverException, etc) are not available to the callback.
I've looked at the DJN test for this case, and it is wrong. The test verifies that the callback is called, but was changed for ExtJS 4.1 to expect a "connect" failure instead of a "server" failure. This is not correct.
My current workaround to this issue is to add custom GSON serialization when serializing StandardErrorResponseData, to rewrite the response into what ExtJS expects. This involves adding an object property named "result" with a "success" property set to false, and then moving the "message", "serverException" and "where" objects into that result object (otherwise they will not be available in the callback).
So as I said, I think there's a little ways to go before it could be said that DJN 2.2 supports form submit for ExtJS 4.1. But this has been the first major defect we've found in DJN; our experience with it in general has been positive. Thanks for your work on it.

Provider is not defined
I started to use DirectJNgine and I was able to configure it and use it within extjs app.
I regiester it in my main script file app.js as follows:
Ext.application({ name: 'App', appFolder: 'app', launch: function() { Ext.Direct.addProvider(MyProvider.direct.REMOTING_API);
the problem is when I change some file my server redeploys the APP and then I get an error about the provider:
Uncaught ReferenceError: MyProvider is not defined
only when I restart my server the problem is solved, I would like to have suggestions why this is happening
is there some king of log?

What kind of anonymization can be used for scanning and exploiting? Of course there are VPNs and VPS, but thats a different story. I know some scanning can be done via TOR, but how can an exploit or something used via proxy?
I am not sure how VPNs will provide anonymity. Even for VPS (in case you meant Virtual Private Server), I am again not sure how will you use that to be anonymous. If you buy a bunch of VPS from linode/rackspace and use it to scan/exploit some servers, it is easy to trace you back. Linode requires a photographic copy of your credit card to activate your VPS.
If you make your scanning programs use Tor, your IP won't be revealed -- but I don't recommend using Tor. Running vulnerability scans using Tor can be really slow. That won't help if you are brute forcing. Also, Tor exit node policies may restrict which ports you can connect to. In addition, it is unethical to use Tor to scan, exploit, or hack other systems.
Expert malicious hackers usually use compromised computers to run their attacks from. They might infect a computer (some university/govt. office) and use that to attack their target, making sure that they have put enough controls that a forensic examination of that computer won't reveal their IP or identity. Again just IP anonymity may not be sufficient in what you are trying to do. Just by visiting a website, you can leave enough evidences to uniquely identify you.
One way to mount attacks from a remote computer is to create a socks proxy to that host and run all the hacking programs using tsocks. Again this is just one scenario and one way... a lot depends on the exact requirements and the tools at hand.
Finally, please do not use these tricks to scan/attack someone without their authorization. Unless you are very thorough, you are bound to leave traces. Whether you'll be found or not depends on how much time and money the other party is willing to spend in the investigations.
