GOP Facing Mayoral Fray
Joseph Lhota's decision to step down from his post atop the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to explore a run for mayor drew praise from some Republicans Wednesday, but there was little sign that his candidacy would immediately clear the GOP field.
Mr. Lhota's announcement that he would step down at the end of the year came after presiding over a Wednesday board meeting at which the authority's board voted to increase fares. The chairman joked that the timing was a "profile in courage". It quickly became clear why: Democrats were already tying the fare hike to Mr. Lhota even though it was part of a series of increases agreed to before he arrived, demonstrating the difficulty of running for mayor after heading one of the most maligned agencies in New York.
"On the same day that Joe Lhota steps down and runs for mayor, the MTA votes on the Lhota fare hike and the Lhota toll hike," said Josh Isay, a consultant to City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, a likely Democratic candidate. "That's political chutzpah and the voters are going to understand it."
In other quarters, though, the news of Mr. Lhota's step towards running was greeted with enthusiasm and hope that he would provide a credible alternative to Democratic frontrunners like Ms. Quinn, Public Advocate Bill De Blasio and former Comptroller William Thompson. Potential supporters point to his experience as a top aide to former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and what will have been a year-long stint at the MTA as proof of his ability to run the city.
"He'd definitely be a tremendous plus if he enters into the mayoral race," said State Sen. Marty Golden, a Republican from Brooklyn. "He'd bring a balance that i think people are looking for: real management, real ability to get things done and the ability to attract real talent to the administration."
Mr. Golden said he would back Mr. Lhota if he runs.
Mr. Lhota received praise and encouragement to mount a campaign after what was widely seen as a successful MTA response to superstorm Sandy earlier this fall. Political operatives in both parties say he could appeal to conservative and moderate voters who like Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Mr. Giuliani and are wary of seeing City Hall return to Democratic hands for the first time in more than two decades. An aide to Mr. Giuliani has said the former mayor would support Mr. Lhota's candidacy.
So far, Mr. Lhota has been barred by state law from exploring a run for mayor. He said Wednesday he plans to make what he called a "life-defining decision" about running shortly after his resignation becomes official on New Year's Eve.
But it's not clear how much of a threat Mr. Lhota would pose to Democats. He lacks Mr. Giuliani's name recognition and Mr. Bloomberg's large personal fortune. Democrats have widened their already-lopsided voter registration advantage since Mr. Giuliani's heydey in the 1990s, adding nearly 500,000 new voters while the number of Republicans has declined slightly. Mr. Giuliani was a former prosecutor elected at a time of high crime rates, while Mr. Bloomberg's election came just after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
And Mr. Lhota could face a competitive Republican primary, prohibiting him from selling himself to voters while Democrats fight amongst themselves. Gristedes owner John Catsimatidis, a billionaire who could fund his own campaign, is laying plans to run. So is former Bronx Borough President and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Adolfo Carrion, a former Democrat.
"The more the merrier," Mr. Catsimatidis said Wednesday of Mr. Lhota. "He's a good guy and maybe he should consider running for comptroller because I'm not sure he can raise enough money to be mayor."
He too, raised the issue of fare hikes before letting out a loud laugh.
"He has to prove he's a people person," he said. "I go around hugging people. Is he that kind of person? I grew up on the poor side of town. I feel for people on the poor side of town. He has to prove he's capable of doing that."
An advisor to Mr. Carrion said his potential campaign remains on track as well. Publisher Tom Allon and non-profit executive George McDonald are also running or considering launching full-fledged campaigns.
Such a crowded Republican field could doom any chance the party has next fall, said E. O'Brien Murray, a GOP consultant who has managed campaigns in the city.
"The party's gotta get behind one person at the end of the day," said Mr. Murray, who isn't said he isn't working for any candidate but wants Mr. Lhota to run. "The way a Republican wins in this town is to build the coalitions, not have a primary and to hit the ground running while the Democrats are all in the middle of a bloodbath."

Ext.ux.data.PagingStore - updated for Ext JS 4
Updating an Ext JS 3 app, finally forced me to need Condor's Ext.ux.data.PagingStore extension, since I couldn't find one amongst the 270+ posts on the thread at http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...gingStore-v0.5.
Code is at: https://github.com/aghuddleston/Ext.ux.data.PagingStore
The main difference from the Ext JS 3 version is that start, limit and page are no longer part of params, but are their own properties on the options config used during store load.
Example remote store (note last options):
PHP Code:
var myStore = Ext.create('Ext.ux.data.PagingStore', {
model: 'User',
pageSize: 3,
lastOptions: {start: 0, limit: 3, page: 1},
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
url: 'url/goes/here',
reader: {
type: 'json',
root: 'rows'
PHP Code:
var myStore = Ext.create('Ext.ux.data.PagingStore', {
model: 'User',
pageSize: 3,
proxy: {
type: 'memory',
reader: {
type: 'array'
data: data
It is very lightly tested so far, with Ext JS 4.1.1. Feel free to fork, push/pull etc for any needed changes/enhancements.
Update (8/8/14) - Version in GitHub tested with
- Ext JS 4.1.1 (master branch)
- Ext JS 4.2.1 (extjs-4.2-branch)
By the way, the extjs-5.0-branch completely fails and does not work.

I have tried using this local paging store. But it is not working as expected. Can you please provide me a sample working example.
I am dynamically loading the store using store.loadData. Though page count is getting updated, all the records are displayed in all pages.
delete this.store.lastParams;
var pagingObj = this.query('pagingtoolbar')[0];
var current = pagingObj.store.currentPage;
Also I observed, this.store.lastParams is always an empty object. Can you please provide me some pointers.
Thanks in advance.
1 Oct 2013 1:31 PM #4
When you defined your store, did you include a pageSize property?
Also, make sure you are setting store.lastOptions before loading your data.
store.lastOptions = {start:0, limit:50, page:1}; //where 50 is your pageSize delete store.lastParams; store.loadData(data);
Have you looked at the test files that are on GitHub? They might help you.

filters working if using Paging Store by defining as below, but pagination is not working. All records are shown in all pages.
var filters = {
ftype: 'filters',
grid.features = [filters];
Please help me in how to work with filters using paging store.
8 Oct 2013 5:11 AM #6
First question, does paging work if you do not have filters? If not, then try getting paging to work without filters first.
By the way, the test file at https://github.com/aghuddleston/Ext....ngStoreTest.js includes a test of the store.filter() method. I do not have a test of the Ext.ux.grid.FiltersFeature extension, but it should work too, since underneath it is just building out the filters.
11 Oct 2013 2:53 AM #7
Pagination is working fine without filters. If I apply filters pagination is breaking. Individually both are working, if added 2 features, then pagination is breaking.
local:true for filters is filtering the data but breaking pagination.
if local:true is removed, pagination is working but filters are not applied on data.
1 Jan 2014 11:18 PM #8
I am successful in making pagination work. Filters are added using extension Ext.ux.grid.FilterFeatures.js. When we enter value in filter textfield, filters are not getting applied.
As you said in above thread, I applied the filters manually using method store.filter. It is working fine. But we need to make it work with column filtering.
Thanks in advance.
2 Jan 2014 1:23 AM #9
Hey aghextjs, thanks for the great post. However there seem to be two bugs which affect the correct sorting and filtering behavior.
- In the filterBy method, you would need to applyPaging so that only the designated page will display, rather than the entire data set.
- When you do doSort, you would need to sort the snapshot as well, because when you turn the page, the filterBy method will work on the snapshot and therefore restore the unsorted data, which makes the sorting disappear after each page turning.

So my computer is pretty good, it can all but max out Max Payne 3, Mass Effect 3 and plenty of other games. But for some reason, even on the lowest settings (1280*800 resolution with everything set to off or low) Prototype 2 still lags a bunch.
Machine Specs:
Twin HD 5770 in crossfire.
Processor is quad core i5
4GB DDR2 Ram (Maybe it is this?)
SSD hard drive (but its running from a 7200rpm hard drive.)
Any ideas on why I am seeing framerate issues?

I own one of these. After the coating wears out though on the rods, you're better off using the old fashioned sharpeners.
Works great when new.
they want a cc # I don't see a paypal anyplace.....NoSale
@harobikes333: Thanks for the feedback. Important that all know these have a lifespan. I have a variety of sharpeners and I find that each of my knives likes a different sharpener or two. When the knives loose that cutting bite, I use two that are the steel carving rod style. They are late 1880s and are from my GREAT G'PARENTS. One is marked THOMAS TURNER R&CC CUTLERS TO HIS MAJESTY the other HARRISON BROS & HOWSON. A few passes on either of them and I am ready to shave with that edge. Concerning the Gerber, when I go for dinner at a friend who I know has a wonderful dull collection, an 'upgrade' is always appreciated. And thanks again for sharing your experience.
Own it. Works well in my tackle box as a lightweight sharpener. I'm sure there's way better products though. I can say my knives only feel slightly sharper than before sharpening, maybe you have to sharpen longer than I've tried. Has a solid grip to it, I don't feel like I'm going to cut myself.
My pockets are sharp enough thank you. I don't know a single person that needs a pocket sharpening.

This whole idea of Part staying in New York and working out her problems or McKenzie having a Scrooge in the last scene of "A Christmas Carol" total change of heart and making Veronika a principal is quixotic. That would be wonderful, but it ain't gonna happen. It is also likely that neither party wants it to happen.
Even if McKenzie miraculously offers Veronika principal status, that doesn't guarantee that she will stay. Her problems with ABT probably go beyond that.

When Wally turns seven, his grandmother gives him a Bible and tells him to learn his verses. He studies dutifully for two weeks, and then never reads his Bible again. One day, he goes to the convenience store with his grandmother. Mr. Weiss at the store tries to sell his grandmother some brake fluid, though she doesn't need it. His grandmother lies. She says no thanks. She says that she is getting ready to put her car in the shop anyway. Wally decides that this is what it means to turn the other cheek.
Wally is ten. His teacher tells him to write a story about what he wants to be when he grows up. She tells him that he can be anything he wants. Wally wants to be a dump truck. Not a driver. A dump truck. Wally writes the story. His teacher tells him that this is impossible. Wally doesn't believe her. Wally weeps. His teacher draws a big "D" in red ink on Wally's paper. Nobody gets to be a dump truck.
Wally is sixteen. He just got his driver's license. He is in the back seat of his father's Buick with Leslie Connelly. They are kissing, and Leslie lets Wally touch her breasts. Wally has a hard on. Wally tries to unbutton her pants. Leslie says no. Wally tries again. Leslie slaps Wally in the face. Her plastic fingernails cut his face, and he is bleeding on the leather seats of his father's Buick. Leslie cries and demands to know how Wally could do this to her.
When Wally turns eighteen, he enlists in the Marines. His mother does not want him to go, but he does anyway. He ships to Parris Island. Basic is hard. Wally has trouble sleeping. Wally has dreams. In his dream, he is standing in a field of yellow sunflowers. Their petals look like teeth. He awakes crying, but he doesn't know why. Wally tells Private Thayer, his bunkmate, about his dream. Private Thayer looks at him, laughs, and says: "Are you some kinda faggot or what?"
A week later, on the rifle range, Wally holds Private Thayer at rifle point for seven minutes. He puts the rifle down. He spends six weeks in Psych. He is discharged. Wally has a section eight. The night after he is discharged, Wally smokes marijuana for the first time and ejaculates inside of a prostitute. She has a prosthetic leg. She fakes an orgasm.
Wally is twenty-six. He lives with his mother. His father is dead. Wally works at a barbeque joint. He doesn't like barbeque. After closing, Wally and his friends stand out behind the building, smoking marijuana. One night, they are bored. They kidnap a young, black boy. In the kitchen of the restaurant, they tie him to a chair. They call him nigger and ask if he wants to be white. They boy, terrified, says yes. Wally holds the boy's head while they spray paint his face white. Wally laughs. Wally is disturbed. Wally has nothing against black people.
When Wally is twenty-nine, he meets his wife. He responds to a personal ad in the newspaper. They both tell each other that they've never tried personal ads. They laugh. They are both lying. On their third date, they have sex twice in the back seat of Wally's Toyota. Wally puts a sheet down to protect the leather seats.
Wally is forty-five. He is married, and his son is sixteen. It is late one night and Wally tries to make love to his wife. He fails. He is ashamed. Naked, Wally goes downstairs for a drink. His son is on the couch in the living room. His son is kissing another boy. His son's hand moves vigorously across the other boy's lap. Wally goes blind and deaf. When his senses return, his son's arm is broken. The ambulance takes his son to the hospital. The police take him to jail. No one seems to notice that Wally is still naked.
Wally is fifty-one. He is divorced, and his son has not spoken to him in nearly seven years. Wally sits on the front porch and listens to the crows taunting each other. He puts the barrel of the pistol in his mouth. It tastes like sucking on a penny. The night is cold. Wally turns the other cheek.

Can you please check if i solved this limit correctly?
$\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{\sin{(1-x)}}{\sqrt{x}-1} $
To skip writing of code , I'll just explain what i did .. First, I multiplied the expression by $\frac{\sqrt{x}+1}{\sqrt{x}+1}$. Then i got $\frac{\sin{(1-x)} * (\sqrt{x}+1)}{x-1}$. Next i pulled out the minus in from of the brackets in denumerator so i got: $\frac{\sin{(1-x)} * (\sqrt{x}+1)}{-(1-x)}$. Since $\frac{\sin{(1-x)}}{1-x}$ is equal to 1, I am left with $ -(\sqrt{x}+1)$. After exchanging x with 1 i get -2 as a result. Did i do this correctly?

Since I've put in some signs for him, I know Jim Sattler likes to place signs a little ways from the trail "otherwise mountain bikers lean on them and eventually push them over". Sattler, like Skerry, has a very tough job. Just about everyone they run into has some complaint, suggestion, or frustration. Some want change and others don't: build a new section of trail and close the old one and there is always someone who doesn't like it. I just couldn't handle their job: one two many people would come up to me whining and I'd excuse myself to go find a baseball bat...
BTW, I noticed one section of the SKS climb has washed out a little. I'd better check with Sattler and Da Goat before fixing it or risk a $300 fine.
On the bright side, I haven't seen any evidence my mud/snow fests last spring created lasting damage.
But it was great getting back into the SFH. Could I have been missing the sensations evoked by suddenly riding through the heavy aroma of a dog minefield?

Start a Seinfeld calendar. Basically, you have a calendar set up somewhere that you see everyday. Each day you write, fill the date with a big red X, or another distinguishing mark.
After a few days you'll have a chain. The chain just keeps getting longer and longer. Dont break that chain.
Inspired by a news post about ohlife I set up a small script that sends me an e-mail message each day asking me about my day. I just reply to that message with my daily journal if I have something interesting to say. This trick (or mind hack) works great for me because:
I used to write a minimum of three pages of freewriting every morning (from The Artists Way) which allows the removal of cruft from our brains and eventually promotes more creativity and more writing.
Schedule it! Find a window of time that you can block out and that is convenient for you to use, and then schedule that time to write. For me it is usually the first hour in the morning after I wake, or the last hour of the day before going to bed. If I can't do it in the morning, then I use the evening as my backup plan. Either way, I know that I am going to have at least an hour a day to write, whether it's working on my blog, working on a story, or answering questions here!
I have been using OhLife previously for my daily piece of my writing. I followed it religiously for about 2 months. But my life journals were either too short or large and I had no way of tracking how much I write. That coupled with an absence of sense of accomplishment my writing graph went down steeply. Luckily for me I came across 750words.com which is everything I wished for. I have set it to send me reminder emails at 7.30 in the morning. My day begins after writing it. I found 3 pages or 750 words the right amount of words to get my creative juices running. Writing whatever comes in my mind helps to clear the clutter in my mind and gets me ready for the day ahead.

As title. The lag issue I am talking about is the notorious "RFS lag" as explained here, and is also refered to here and here
Although they didn't change the file system, they did make improvements and I'm personally noticing significantly less lag on 2.3.3 coming from 2.2.
From techie-buzz.com:
If you want to fix your lag I recommend an Ext4 lagfix. If you flash a kernel such as Voodoo with Odin, you don't even need to root first (note that flashing it will void your warranty anyways though). This guide describes the process for an Android 2.3.4 kernel for the SGS GT-i9000.
I use Voodoo on my SGS Vibrant and it's awesome.
2.2.1 was the big lag fix release on the Galaxy S, that made a huge difference to the device's speed compared to the previous 2.1 and 2.2 releases.
To me, the Gingerbread 2.3.3 feels very much the same to me as 2.2.1 did.

Note that when migrating your MS SQL Server PHP Driver from MSSQL to SQLSRV, if you have used mssql_num_rows, replacing them with sqlsrv_num_rows and replacing mssql_query($query, $mssql_link) with sqlsrv_query($sqlsrv_link, $query) calls will make your sqlsrv_num_rows calls fail. In order to avoid that, you should specify either static, keyset or buffered cursors (buffered cursor has been available since SQLSRV 3.0) when calling sqlsrv_query. For example,
mssql_query($query, $mssql_link);
// is equivalent to
sqlsrv_query($sqlsrv_link, $query, array(), array('Scrollable' => 'buffered'));
Using the buffered cursor is "more equivalent" than using the static or keyset cursors to simple mssql_query calls, since it caches the entire result set in client memory.

To the editor: All NRA members let the NRA speak for them and that is dangerou....
So you think my second amendment right to legally own a gun should be taken away? Do you know where the government gets the money to fix the roads? It comes from my tax dollars and the tax dollars of all of us who are still fortunate to work in this horrible economy brought about by Obama and the liberals who want to turn us into a third world country with only the rich (government employees) and the poor working class.
3 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I thought we were in a third world status during the previous administration and its just carrying over into this one. As far as rich goes. The rich (private sector) is telling all the poor working class that they do not need a higher minimum wage, health insurance, or anything that keeps wages or benefits down. My tax dollars pay for their tax breaks that do not trickle down to us poor working class people. Only idiots believe that the NRA is looking out for their best interest. The 2nd amendment is here to stay.
2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I never said the NRA was looking out for my second amendment rights. By the way, who creates jobs? How many people are able to start businesses? And how much do you want the minimum wage to go up? Should someone who flips hamburgers at McDonalds with less than a high school education make more money than a school teacher who has to have a master's degree to keep her job? Shouldn't professionals who have an education and must continue their education to be current in their jobs get paid more than someone who flips burgers or gets your order wrong at the drive through window? Minimum wage jobs were never developed to be a lifetime job--people were supposed to advance from that minimum wage job, so why don't those burger flippers do a good job and then apply for a management job at their fast food restaurant and then they will get a pay raise. What a thought--work hard and show ambition and you could get promoted and make more money!!!

Well stated, Doctormom. It all seems so simple. I keep wondering why so many don't get it.
EB, what do you feel a fair wage would be for flipping burgers, and what will that burger cost at that pay scale? What would that do to the cost of other goods and services? Be honest.

The minimum wage goes up, cost of products and services go up, inflation gets higher, and they need an increase in minimum wage again. Didn't 4 years of Jimmy Carter teach you anything.

Lorraine Your letter rambles on and doesn't make any sense. I still don't know how the NRA affects anything but the Second Amendment.
Some facts for you Lorraine. NRA members are from every political camp. There are more NRA members in Ohio that union members. The Supreme Upheld the individual right to own arms and said states can not take that right away. The NRA could care less about obunglercare or who is in office or who is president as long as the Second Amendment is protected. Lorraine go find the facts.

- PIO Number: 01-8-32
- Date: Aug. 24, 2001
- Time: 0700
- Place of Occurrence: SW 48 Avenue, Broadview Park community, near Fort Lauderdale
- Name withheld, 85, female
- unknown male
Description of Incident:
The Broward Sheriff's Office is investigating a sexual battery involving an elderly woman attacked inside her home near Fort Lauderdale.
At 7:30 a.m. a 911 call was received from an 85-year-old woman who said she had been raped inside her house. Responding deputies found that the elderly lady, who is partially disabled, bruised but not seriously injured as a result of the brutal attack. The woman told deputies that she was asleep in her bed when she awoke at 7 a.m. to find a naked man standing beside her bed. She said the man told her to be quiet and then committed a sexual battery upon her. Following the assault, the suspect left the single-family residence and the victim called her great grand daughter, who advised her to call 911. The victim was taken to the Sexual Assault Treatment Center for an examination.
Detectives found evidence of a forced entry, indicating the intruder broke in to the home. The victim said she did not know her attacker. There have been no similar crimes in the Broadview community in recent history.
The suspect is described as a white male, well-tanned or possibly Hispanic, about 5'11" with a thin build. Anyone with any information is urged to call the Broward Sheriff's Office at 765-4321 or CrimeStoppers at 493-TIPS.

Let's say, we have there 1st level Monk, and he has STR 17/+3. Now we are calculating base attack with his Flurry of Blows. For first level, we have "Flurry of Blows Attack Bonus" -1/-1, plus 1st level it is 0/0 and plus strength modifier it is +3/+3. When we are attacking with combination of Siangham, it doesn't matter, because it is still +3/+3, And damage is 1d6+3/1d6+3. Is it calculated correctly, or am i wrong somewhere?

Flurry of Blows Attack Bonus as Phill's answer, but damage includes the full Strength bonus.
You do not add the monk BAB to Flurry of Blows, it has its own independent BAB, which the Str modifier is added to, ergo +2/+2. If the monk has levels in another class, you would add that BAB to the rolls.
False. You add full damage for each strike.
"A monk applies his full Strength bonus to his damage rolls for all successful attacks made with flurry of blows, whether the attacks are made with an off-hand or with a weapon wielded in both hands."
Flurry of blows starts with -2/-2 because it's a combat move where you in theory use two weapons. So you get the -2/-2 attack penalty.
Then you add the BAB to your attack rolls from your different classes. The BAB for your monk class is special in the case of flurry of blows, it is equal to your monk class level and not the regular BAB for the monk's class level. So for a lvl 3 fighter / lvl 2 monk, you add +3 for the fighter BAB and + 2 for your monk BAB. In this example, you add +5 and the result is +3/+3.
Then you add your strength modifier, in the example of 17 Str it's 3. So the attack bonus becomes +6/+6. Furthermore, a monk never has offhand attacks (except when he is foolish enough to carry two one-handed weapons that don't count as unarmed strikes or monk weapons) so the damage bonus from your strength is added to both attacks.
A first level monk has no +1 BAB to begin with, but even then the flurry of blows uses a different, separate progression, which is to be summed to any other BAB from different classes.

Why are all languages selected by default in the MiKTeX 2.9 Settings (Admin)?
In my experience in the previous MiKTeX distributions, only a few languages were selected by default.
Is there any hidden effect of this new setting?
You would, of course, have to ask Christian Schenk for a definitive answer. However, it seems that a plausible line of reasoning is 'ease of use'. Most people never go near the settings boxes, so it's best if the defaults work for the majority. On a modern computer, including all of the hyphenation patterns is not a big issue (which is would have been in the past). So there is no real gain from omitting some languages: as @daleif comments, all that happens is that people are confused.

Because I will (in the near future) be a teacher of GIS. I need some advice form people who have previously done this. Any clues - what to do and what not to do ? I think it will be very helpful for my preparation.
I agree some of the thoughts already suggested. However to be very clear: do NOT teach the tool, teach the concepts. Yes, it's great that folks know how to use ESRI products (if that is what you are teaching) but give those same people another GIS, and they will struggle--they only know how to use the tool, not think through the process and understand what is happening. If possible, show multiple ways of doing each task, using multiple different tools and methodologies. Have students identify alternate ways of doing tasks... basically get them to think process not tool.
Do NOT show someone something by taking the mouse away and saying, "Just like that". I often teach with projectors and have students follow and then practice on their own.
Allow lots of practice time (if you can...), a rushed course is a crashed course. Teach slowly so that they can take the skills with them when they leave. Not just leaving thinking, "oh, that was interesting, but I still like google earth".
Provide documentation on everything you are doing, especially step-by-step for some of the processes you run through from Data Collection -> Management -> Query -> Analyze -> Visualization.
GIS is a tool, you don't use it, you lose it. So practice makes perfect. The more literal/relevant examples you can teach by, the stronger the concept will be understood, of course.
When I taught basic GIS to an Archaeology group, we did an Arch Site Potential mapping project as example. Or with First Nations, we do land use and occupancy digitizing and some overlay analysis.
I would also add to that comment, but suggest that keywords and concepts will have a longer lifetime than keystrokes and menu selections (ie buffer, clip, intersect, symmetrical difference and their synonyms). If using a GIS with a good help file, get students to focus on how to find the documentation within the software or online. The keywords/concepts will have a longer shelf life...anyone that had to redo their ArcGIS manuals over the summer due to the 9.3.x to 10 translation will appreciate what I mean. Do go slow, videos and screengrabs help (Camtasia/Snagit www.techsmith.com), or network systems that allow you to demonstrate and broadcast to a class (ie LanSchool) also help, but there will be times that picking up the mouse and showing is the only way to do it. There is no one learning style and no single learning speed. Best of luck
Whenever I teach a GIS application I find the class is nearly always very computer literate, and could probably work the software by trial and error with enough incentive. Particularly since most GUIs are designed to a very similar layout.
So try not to go through each piece of functionality saying "this is the file menu, this is where you find the open tool". We all know where to find the 'open' tool by now, even on a package we've never used before.
And - to be honest - sometimes even the concepts are fairly obvious. What I'm often asked for is "why?" Why would I snap endpoints together? Why would I use an alpha band on a raster? What use is a nearest neighbour? I think a practical example unlocks the meaning behind the concept.
It's also important that you know the level of knowledge about GIS in the group you are going to teach.
We did a seminar for a group of students a few years back under the assumption that it was a group that had no knowledge about GIS, but after short while into the presentation one of the students spoke up "We have been studying GIS for a full year, we already know all that basic stuff". Luckily we had a lot more material so we could skip the basic stuff and go on with the advanced, so it's important to double check the knowledge level in the group.
On the teaching side, I always try to remember that the students are there to learn and not to admire how talented the teacher is! So under-emphasize your qualifications, don't show off, and try to engage the students and draw out their existing knowledge. Find out what they would like to learn, and don't force topics on them just because you like them.
If you have materials to hand out, then don't do it until you need to. Otherwise the class will sit reading them when they should be focusing on what you are telling them. The same will happen if you put too much text/complexity on a powerpoint slide.
Also, engage the class from the moment you walk in the door (if not before). Don't arrive 1/2 hour early just to stand at the front of the class, staring into space until you spring into action when the clock says it's time to start. Be personable, say hi, and start a conversation.
If you are meeting the class for the first time, smile at people on your way to class: driving in, in the elevator, and walking down the corridor. You never know if they will be one of your students. A student in one of my classes was literally dragged from his seat and thrown out of our office by my irate boss. Turns out the car he'd cut up on his way was being driven by the boss's daughter! You never know until it's too late.
So smile and be nice to everyone, no matter how much of an irritation they are.

In deep middle age, a close friend of mine finds himself immersed in a love affair. I find myself a bit (just a bit) envious as I observe the white heat of his intimacy (which I don't use here in a sexual sense). How can I characterize this intimacy? The question of intimacy as such is important to me, and it seems to me that what he is going through is no more and no less than a conspiracy.Love as conspiracy; in a society obsessed with political conspiracies we forget that that the original sense of the word was not negative. It meant "co-breathing" in the sense of a radical demanding intimacy. It is only rather recently that it picked up the sense of a group of intimates united for an illicit purpose. But my friend's intimacy with his beloved seems to be both directed and excludes others not by design but because of its particular closeness.I am interested in intimacy and its cultivation not only to maintain strong relationships, but because I feel that there is something conspiratorial in the Christian sense of intimacy. There was a time when our Mass was nothing more or less than a conspiracy both in the old and (to the Romans) the current sense. Early Christians were certainly intimate to the degree of sharing the same breath. And in the sense that conspirators promote the aims of the conspiracy together, the aim of the conspiracy can be to promote the radical intimacy that is the living of a Christian life in a community.I look at my friend's love affair and I know from experience that the white heat will eventually cool down. But will the conspiracy, the sense of conspiracy, survive? Is a truly healthy intimate relationship a conspiracy? And if it is, can we have a conspiratorial relationship with God?

An early literal meaning of conspiratio was the blowing in unison of wind instruments, from which it easily came to mean agreement by a group of people on a course of action, no secrecy or nefariousness implied. But Caesar wrote of certain Gallic tribes conspiring to resist him, which from his point of view would have been a bad thing, and from theirs something to do in secrecy. Once secrecy is involved, the fewer people the better, and when the number is pared down to two, it may become intimacy.Yet intimacy is more than secrecy, isn't it? It is the sense that we twain are a world sufficient, that any third would be intrusive and discordant. It is this:LEARNo, no, no, no! Come, lets away to prison.We two alone will sing like birds i' th' cage.When thou dost ask me blessing, Ill kneel downAnd ask of thee forgiveness. So well live,And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laughAt gilded butterflies, and hear poor roguesTalk of court news, and well talk with them tooWho loses and who wins, whos in, whos outAnd take upon s the mystery of thingsAs if we were Gods spies. And well wear outIn a walled prison packs and sects of great onesThat ebb and flow by the moon.King Lear, Act V, scene 3
I'm not sure that intimacy is something that involves two. Can a family share intimacy? Can a close knit group of people? In my Franciscan order, we constantly talk about what makes us "different" in the sense of being an order at all. These conversations over time seem to have led to a sort of intimacy between us; maybe intimacy is in part having these sorts of conversations.Intimacy can be pursued, but is it also a gift? Is it a sort of grace?
An excellent point. I would not disagree. But the intensity of the experience may be proportional in some sense to the fewness of those sharing it. To overdo Shakespeare (if that is possible), when Henry V says, "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers," he proclaims a common bond that marks a small group, everyone known to everyone. The Allies at D-Day also shared a common purpose and a great achievement, but beyond the squad level, it would be hard to call it intimacy.Gift? Grace? Since I cannot find it all on my own, it must be something of that sort, unless when billions of people are seeking the same thing, some number are likely to find it. A mystery, in any case.
Intimacy for me -is a meeting of the mind.A meeting of the mind is also a meeting of the heart.If I understand another person[what they are saying,what they believe,what they like or don't like,their experiences] then I feel an identifying connection with them.Intimacy can ebb and flow-I can feel intimate with a person in one regard then when faced with a conflict with them, separated.Intimacy can also be a one way street. I can watch or hear an interview with a famous person and identify[agree] with that person and feel that intimate connection[i know what you mean and I'm like you in this regard].Even as i'm aware that the person does not know me.Empathy with people you don't even know is also intimacy.["God's spy"].I can feel empathy for people I see whether I know them or not and identify with them-they mirror me though looks have nothing to do with it.Some people we just like right away and some people we don't.The ones we do we feel intimately connected[I know you already and you're like me].Sharing the same physical space is a form of intimacy.When you're with other people and they see what you see, they hear what you hear, they are dealing with the same surroundings as you-that shared experience of time and space can in retrospect be recognized as intimate.Though at the time it might not have been perceived as such.[you hated the person you were working with but now you see your memories include them too]Intimacy -that recognition that you are like them and they are like you in any particular way-is not surprising as we're all here unique yet made in God's image.
Intimacy/conspiracy is rewarding but I'm not sure it's intrinsically good It''s about them and us. In-group bonding and loyalty is the kind of thing that runs the clerical system that covers up sex abuse, for instance.
Still with that sex abuse scandal?it's 2013-put that baby to bed!
OK, let me put it another way. The desire to form intimate groups can have positive results, like creating families in which to raise children, but it can also have negative results, like jingoism. In-group bonding and loyalty is sort of a neutral thing that can have positive and/or negative results, so I just meant let's not turn it into a virtue.
Crystal --Is it the intimacy of the groups that is bad or the results of the groups' actions that are bad? I see intimacy as an experience that can be used for good or ill, although I think of the mystical experiences such as Theresa of Avila's as the ultimate intimacy and the greatest of goods.
Hi Ann,Still thinking about this. Maybe there's a difference between intimacy and love? I think love *is* a virtue, and I think that's what was between Jesus and Theresa. But love doesn't shut out people that are not in the relationship, love doesn't make you love other people less but more, love doesn't pit people against each other. Intimacy may keep a crime family loyal to each other at the expense of outsiders, but I wouldn't call that a virtue.
PS - I'm probably far off the trail now and maybe delete-able ;) but this reminds me of a difference between christianity and gnosticism, gnosticism being about exclusivity, secret knowledge, in-group loyalty, while christianity was (once anyway) about inclusion and openness.
I'm not sure that intimacy demands the active shutting out of other people. But are we not closer to some people than others? And in being closer to some people than others does that mean our love for others is defective?
Intimacy-from a spiritual christian perspective has to be able to include anyone and everyone.Otherwise I agree with you Crystal that it becomes a us vs.them, we're united by our goodness and they're bad, identification.When I worked the night shift the night shift workers blamed all the problems of the workplace -on the day shift workers. When I worked the day shift -the problems were put on the night shift workers. The individuals could shift from night to day and vice virsa-but the mindset was to identify as a group with whichever shift you were on and blame the other shift.Each group of shift workers claimed they had a clearer more accurate picture of how the work should be done[their way] then the other shift did.Each shift cast aspersions on the other group[the others were the lazy ones,the stupid ones, the favored by management ones, etc.]
Gnosticism has been portrayed as a type of conspiracy that started out in the good sense and became one in the bad sense. But it seems to me that Christianity in its revolutionary sense is a sort of conspiracy against the world in that it does not accept the values of the world, but encourages its members to form communities that live Christian values. This does in fact separate them from the world in a way (in their intimacy, perhaps). The communities can, however, while separated live in the world; in it but not of it as the Secular Franciscans might say.
I suppose I am in danger of defining intimacy away, but can we truly love without intimacy?
Can there be love without intimacy? Both seem necessary for personal relationships, but I hope love is more than intimacy because we're called (I think?) to love everyone. Didn't V2 say that the church can learn from the world? I don't think it has to be Christians vs the world.
Intimacy / intemus / innermost, from the proto-Indo-European root "en".I think we can truly love without revealing everything about our innermost selves. A little mystery doesn't hurt, even/especially in very long-term relationships. Nice to save a few surprises.
Put my thomistic hat and state that there is good and false intimacy. True intimacy does not do evil. Love is always intimate. That love that grows over many years is the truest intimacy.Intimacy is most difficult because it makes us vulnerable. When one is willing to risk love one is the most powerful because the person who can love and be intimate is the most free person. The love of Unagidon's friend is at an early stage and till has to be tested in the furnace as the saying goes. Thomas rightly says that it is not possible to love many people intimately. Tho it excludes others from that intensity it does not exclude others from being loved but with less involvement. A person who is in an intimate relationship rejoices to see others in such states. Chapter 13 of Corinthians 1 is a great barometer however difficult.
If you are using the phrase love affair in the conventional sense, then, no, I dont think the conspiracy can last. I do think, however, that healthy marriages maintain a sense of conspiracy right up to the point of, but not quite including, a vaguely envious annoyance from friends and relatives. Im thinking of an old Alan Alda movie that I cant remember the name of.A conspiratorial relationship with God? Good question and interesting thought. Isnt there a description in Genesis of God breathing life into man?
Speaking of Gnosticism with it's" exclusivity,secret knowledge and in group loyalty";the neo catechumenate movement meets that criteria .I see it as a present day Gnostic infiltration in the Church-a church within the Church.I think this may be deleted.I believe love is intimacy. God is intimately connected with all he loves[trinity and his creation].We can only love what we know. Are we defective in love if we are closer to some people and not others? of course we are. We're human .God is love. We're not God so yes our love is defective.We are closer to people we feel connected to.There are people we do not feel a natural liking for-a natural connection to. We night feel an antipathy toward them even. We're blocked by our own flawed and limited selves to love them.Yes that is a defect.We're blocked from loving them by what we perceive what we dislike in them or are repelled in them.We can't help our feelings . When we consciously shut out people however-when we deny them the possibility to grow in love for them and with them-then we're violating God's commandmant to love our neighbor.When we become like the Gnostics with circles of solidarity,loyalty ,us vs. them mindset then that is unchristian.That is different then a natural not liking of someone.To feel an intimate closeness with a group, or other person is fine as long as that intimate love the members have for each other is experienced as a grace that humbles them[as oppossed to making them smug and or arrogant]and that enables them to love others-to have empathy for others outside the group.To be able to perceive all people who they are not intimately connected with -who they don't know -as really the same as them.The intimate bond of the group becomes a fortification, an asset,a in growing in love for everyone-not a detriment. Just like a mother loves her child[ren] like no other child[ren]because she knows them like knows no other child[ren] still all mothers love all child[ren]as we all respond the same when we hear news stories about children we don't even know.
"But it seems to me that Christianity in its revolutionary sense is a sort of conspiracy against the world in that it does not accept the values of the world, but encourages its members to form communities that live Christian values."unagidon --Christianity against the world? Hmm. What do you mean by "the world"? "And God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son . . . "I suspect your question boils down to questions of priorities and of seeing that not all goods of this world are meant to be enjoyed by everyone, but that doesn't stop them from being good in themselves. We can't all have the last piece of the pie nor the first. We can't have everything we can have, and we can't be everything we can be. "Everything choice involves a sacrifice", said Sartre, and, sadly, he was right.
Doesn't intimacy have its roots in empathy -- feeling with someone else?
Aren't dogs and cats good at empathy? Isn't that one of the main reasons we get to love our pets so much -- they grasp our feelings very well, sometimes better than other people do.

I don't know. In some ways I'm still finding out about my own innermost self. But I wonder if the surprises shouldn't come from growth and development - especially spiritual growth and development. I see so many couples break up after, say, 25 years of marriage. Could it be that they have exhausted all of their surprises and have put no new water in the well?

Being a Christian would seem to involve a series of choices, of course. But is leading a Christian life, trying to live a gospel life, a radical choice in this secular world? Some religious actually leave the world for the cloister. But for those of us who don't, is attempting to live a gospel oriented life still a sort of conspiracy? Again, not a conspiracy to do evil, but even so a conspiracy that does oppose the morality of a purely secular life?

Well, I hope for my friends sake that this all turns out to be the latter sense rather than the former sense of what you say. But you have sort of gotten to the heart of what I mean by "conspiracy" when I am talking about couples.
For Bill, thank you for your thoughts. We can only be intimate with a few people, this is true. But yet I have met some people who seem to have some sort of gift of intimacy and when one is in their presence one feels as though one is getting their undivided attention. Maybe it's a place where intimacy shades into compassion and empathy.Once I had a sort of conversion experience and as I stumbled down the street from the church, I met a beggar, an old, dirty, ugly man, and I was driven by the desire to give him something. So I took out all the money I was carrying (which wasn't very much) and handed it to him, but when I did so, I took his hand with my left hand and pressed the money into his palm with my right. And I looked him in the eye and I could swear that an intimate moment passed between us. I have no idea why I did this, but I felt that it was more than just giving him a few dollars. Was that really a moment of intimacy?
Ann said:
Doesnt intimacy have its roots in empathy feeling with someone else?
Does it perhaps go from empathy to compassion to intimacy?

Maybe love sort of leaves the field clear for intimacy. Truly loving is certainly personal, but the truly personal would seem to require intimacy.Are we against the world? In a way, I think we are. Are we enemies of the world? Again, in a way I think we are. Do we want to do evil to the world? No. But I think that the way that a Christian lives and the choices that one makes is at least partially a rejection of the world.

This is an interesting point. Early Christians frequently seemed to lead two lives (when they had to keep their membership in the Church a secret). This was necessary, but one can see the temptation to make one's secret life in the Church a membership in a secret Order.I like the rest of what you have to say. Don't worry that I will delete anything.
Might memory, a topic I've always been interested in, be another facet of intimacy? Am thinking about my brother, with whom I share a lot of memories that can be triggered by an image, word, or gesture, the significance of which would be difficult to share with an outsider. Many of these memories were certainly part of conspiracies, an attempt to find relief in a difficult family situation. Is this intimacy?It might be interesting to think about how memories of church-going, ritual, etc. build a sense of intimacy with God. Might that explain why changes in liturgical practices sometimes provoke a good deal of anger in people?
unagidon -- ISTM that not all intimacy involves compassion. Some intimacy is just pure pleasure, e.g., remembering with an old neighbor the sound of the ice cream man's silvery bell. Jean -- I think you're on to something big. We seem to need solid images of what God is and how He acts. Any alteration of our image risks turning Him into that Wildly Unpredictable Thing Infinitely Greater Than We Are. That we cannot abide.
Im not sure that intimacy demands the active shutting out of other people.I'm also not sure. But when you listen to music carefully, you do your best to shut out all other sounds. Similarly, if you give your undivided attention to someone, do you not, at least temporarily, shut out other people?Can we have a conspiratorial relationship with God?A better question would be: "How can we have a conspiratorial relationship with God?" when he often seems to recede into the distance. How can we stay intimate when we do not perceive his presence? In the same way that, in the absence of a loved one, we mull over their words, we might be able to do it by mulling over scripture at all times. In theory. From today's reading: "If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father."
I think that the way that a Christian lives and the choices that one makes is at least partially a rejection of the world. The cultural world that the institutional church criticizes is actually pretty Christian ... our government has a Christian president, a mostly Christian Congress, most of the Supreme Court is Catholic, and even in our pluralistic society the values we think of as Christian -- forgiveness, peace, helping those less fortunate, sanctity of life, love - are shared ideally by most other religions and by most atheists too, even though people usually fail to meet those ideals. The pope used his Christmas message to criticize marriage equality - that's the level of railing against "the world" that the church has fallen to - and an argument could be made that support of marriage equality is really a Christian stance (see the Episcopal Church, the Quakers, etc.). The church itself shares the same negatives that it says must be fought against in the world - the pride, corruption, wealth-hording, sexual morality issues. There really is no stark difference between the church and the world - it's more that both the church and the world are somewhere on a continuum between ideals and a failure of those.But there is a way in which the world seems "wrong" to me -- not in culture but in nature, the way the world works, the existence of what seems like a built-in suffering and the way we're pitted against each other to survive. I think God has to answer for that, not the world.
"Similarly, if you give your undivided attention to someone, do you not, at least temporarily, shut out other people?"Agree. Isn't that why newlyweds went on honeymoons? To shut out others and develop intimacy through experience and memory? (Nowadays, the intimacy that develops through cohabitation and sex happen before the wedding.)Isn't that why we go on religious retreats? To shut out distractions to develop intimacy and experience/memory of God?When we have a conversion, we may not shun others, exactly, but we decline to continue some intimacies that God calls us away from. "We seem to need solid images of what God is and how He acts. Any alteration of our image risks turning Him into that Wildly Unpredictable Thing Infinitely Greater Than We Are. That we cannot abide."This isn't exactly where my train of thought was headed, but your comment turns my thoughts toward a different question: Do we reach intimacy with God through liturgical forms? This is an interesting question for Catholics (and Anglicans) who see themselves in terms of the Body of Christ. Liturgy is important in fostering intimacy within the community/parish. And it is through the community/parish that we are members of the body of Christ. In low church denominations, liturgy is relatively unimportant because intimacy with God is through Christ as one's personal savior. The Sunday meeting is, essentially, a pep talk for the individual, not the celebration of the sacrament for the community.These are really just preliminary thoughts.
I feel that there is something conspiratorial in the Christian sense of intimacy. As when the Holy Spirit says: "Hey, why don't you do [x]?", and we answer "Sure, why not. Sounds good!", but no one else heard the exchange, so no one knows that we conspired something together, except for the suspicious ones who are always on the lookout for signs of a conspiracy of grace everywhere.
Do we reach intimacy with God through liturgical forms?Isn't that what liturgy is for? At least according to the hymn "Devenez ce que vous recevez" (become what you receive) - what could be more intimate?
I wonder whether the Liturgy Wars have been about the Mass and intimacy -- on the one hand, the intimacy which individuals experience with God at Mass, and, on the other hand, a kind of group intimacy or unity which is similar to the unity an audience listening to a great musical performance feels. The psychologists tell us there is such a thing as "mob psychology" -- is that founded on some sort of dangerous, conspiratorial intimacy?Maybe we have a semantic problem here. "Intimacy" might mean somewhat different things in different contexts. Is the object of "intimacy" always another person? Or can "intimacy" also refer to shared experiences of things? I dunno.
But there is a way in which the world seems wrong to me not in culture but in nature, the way the world works, the existence of what seems like a built-in suffering and the way were pitted against each other to survive.CrystalYou dont think man has the power to change the worldliterally change the way the world works? For better and worse? What about Marys fiat, just to take an extreme case?I think God has to answer for that, not the world. Hasnt He?
Well, I looked up that favorite hymn of mine, Devenez ce que vous recevez, to see where it came from, and - surprise, surprise! - apparently it's inspired from St Augustine. There is a link to some text by him: the bread is us b/c we are the individual grains, mashed by the exorcism at the beginning of baptism, leavened by the baptism with water, and baked (!) by the fire of the Holy Spirit, so that it is through God's action that, starting from a collection of individuals, we become intimately united into one bread. So much for contrasting (vertical) individual intimacy with God with (horizontal) group intimacy: in that narrative such an opposition does not make sense. What that has to do with the "liturgy wars", I could not say.
Mark,Yes, in some ways I do think we can and have changed the world for the better - women's emancipation, better treatment of animals, an end (mostly) to human slavery, war crimes tribunals, etc.But we can't change some things, at least not yet. The natural world runs on a brutal system where the highest good is survival at any cost and the consequences of that are suffering and death. I guess I do hold God responsible for either coming up with or signing off on such a cruel plan, and Jesus' incarnation doesn't really solve that problem for me, unless that answer is that someday (after death) all the suffering will be made up for.. David Bentley Hart wrote a bit on this in his book about the 2004/5 tsunami. I have an excerpt posted if anyone's interested .... http://povcrystal.blogspot.com/2007/10/david-hart-and-nature.html
Crystal, am reading Camus's "The Plague," in which the main horror (so far) seems to be that "humanist" Westerners have sunk their faith in manmade solutions to "problems." One of the chief horrors of the plague in its beginning stages (I'm only a few chapters in), is the terror that this disaster probably cannot be stopped by rational thought and human institutions. What looms in Dr. Rieux's nightmares as he tries to think out what to do, are Bosch-like scenes of utter chaos and depravity he recalls from ancient accounts of the plague. I don't know where Camus is going with this (my acquaintance with French literature is confined to a smattering of Flaubert and "Candide"). But it certainly seems headed toward confronting what the modern world views as the greatest obscenity: That which we cannot control.This conversation about intimacy with God is nibbling around the edges of my conscious as I read the novel. (I'll be off this thread until I finish the novel, so if anybody has read this novel and feels there is some relevance to the conversation, feel free to include spoilers.)
"The cultural world that the institutional church criticizes is actually pretty Christian our government has a Christian president, a mostly Christian Congress, most of the Supreme Court is Catholic, and even in our pluralistic society the values we think of as Christian forgiveness, peace, helping those less fortunate, sanctity of life, love are shared ideally by most other religions and by most atheists too, even though people usually fail to meet those ideals. ... The church itself shares the same negatives that it says must be fought against in the world the pride, corruption, wealth-hording, sexual morality issues. There really is no stark difference between the church and the world its more that both the church and the world are somewhere on a continuum between ideals and a failure of those."Hi, Crystal, I suppose a Christian response to these observations, which certainly seem true enough as far as they go, is that the heart of Christian faith is not reducible to a set of values. It was not a set of values to which Mary gave birth in the stable in Bethlehem, it was a person. It is with that person, Jesus of Nazareth and God's Son, to whom we're invited to have this intimate, loving relationship. All of the wonderful values and virtues and fruits you name - love, forgiveness, peace and so on - come about by getting to know the person Jesus.You're certainly right that the church (i.e. all of us who constitute the church) often fails to live up to the ideals it espouses. It is necessary for the church constantly to reflect on and rededicate itself to its mission, which is to preach Jesus to the world, to present this person Jesus to everyone so that everyone can get to know him, can enter into this intimate and loving relationship with him.You're right, too, to observe that the world is not wholly "other" - not completely separated from and opposed to Christian ideals. How could it be, given that God created it all, and it all continues to exist because God so wills it? What God has created was good, and even though we've managed to mar it and muck it up, that goodness is not wholly wiped away. And God is at work in the world still, not least through Christians who are out here sowing seeds, often enough in tears, but we live in hope that we will sing at harvest time.
Jean,I read that in college - I guess it would be called an example of existentialism, and so the meaninglessness of all the suffering and the inability of people to control their life situations are big issues in the book. In a way it's sort of the opposite of a Christian viewpoint (unless you like Kierkegaard :)
Jim,Yes, I try to have faith that Jesus somehow makes everything right, but sometimes it's hard.
Yes, in some ways I do think we can and have changed the world for the better womens emancipation, better treatment of animals, an end (mostly) to human slavery, war crimes tribunals, etc.CrystalYes, but I meant more radical change, a change in the way things are, ontologically speaking. Such that, if we really got it right, the lion would lie down with the lamb.
Mark,Do you believe that there was a time when things were like that, where everything was at peace, and then there was a "fall"? I don't - science/evolution seems to show that there was never a time when life here wasn't dog eat dog. So I guess the only way I can imagine that happening on the earth (instead of in heaven) would be if Jesus had that second coming and set things right. But of course if we keep destroying the ecosystem and all the animals and plants that go with it, that might result in a kind of peace (eek!).How do you think the lion laying down with the lamb could be accomplished?
The lion will lie down with the lamb, but the lamb wont get much sleep.--Woody Allen
CrystalI dont have a view on what it was like before the Fall exactly but, yes, I do believe that mans actions have created the dog eat dog world we live in now. I believe what we do and what we think can change who we are, and if we are changed, the world is changed. I know how a father is changed when he has a child, changed from within. I can only imagine that for a mother its an order of magnitude more profound. I believe we are changed when we eat His body and drink His blood. These changes ripple across the universewe simply need more of them.GerelynThanks for the laugh, from back when Woody Allen was funny.
Hope, faith, and love - it might work :)

I do have neighbors within the 150 yard "safety zone", so the only real thing holding me back would be if an air rifle is somehow considered a "deadly weapon".I actually spoke to a warden today about this, but it was in regards to pests (ground squirrels, opossum, raccoons, etc.).Under F&G code 4152:
3004. (a) It is unlawful for any person, other than the owner, person in possession of the premises, or a person having the express permission of the owner or person in possession of the premises, to hunt or to discharge while hunting, any firearm or other deadly weapon within 150 yards of any occupied dwelling house, residence, or other building or any barn or other outbuilding used in connection therewith. The 150-yard area is a "safety zone."
and 4180 A:
nongame mammals and black-tailed jackrabbits, muskrats, subspecies of red fox that are not the native Sierra Nevada red fox (Vulpes vulpes necator), and red fox squirrels that are found to be injuring growing crops or other property may be taken at any time or in any manner....... by the owner.....
For pest control on private property you do not even need a hunting license. So his opinion was that it was totally fine and I am not even acting under my hunting license for THOSE cases.He was actually not so sure if an air rifle is considered a "deadly weapon" or not.There is not much in the fish and game code about air rifles, called "bb devices". The main one I see is Section 3001 which states:
Except as provided for in Section 4005, fur-bearing mammals that are injuring property may be taken at any time and in any manner in accordance with this code or regulations made pursuant to this code.
So they are referring to CA penal code for defining BB device:PC 12001:
3001. It is unlawful to take birds or mammals with firearms, BB devices as defined in subdivision (g) of Section 12001 of the Penal Code, crossbows, or with bow and arrow when intoxicated.3001. It is unlawful to take birds or mammals with firearms, BB devices as defined in Section 16250 of the Penal Code, crossbows, or with bow and arrow when intoxicated.
As used in this title, "firearm" has the meaning provided in subdivision (a) of Section 16520.
16520. (a) As used in this part, "firearm" means any device, designed to be used as a weapon, from which is expelled through a barrel, a projectile by the force of any explosion or other form of combustion.
So essentially all I can see is a "BB device" is not a firearm as far as California Penal Code. Nowhere does it mention it being a deadly weapon. F&G code nowhere states that a "BB Device" is a deadly weapon.I am allowed by the county law to shoot the air rifle at my location. It's OK for pest control. But the warden was not sure about the "deadly weapon" issue.Obviously I am covered for pests, but we have a ton of tree squirrels, some rabbits and the (very) occasional turkey I would like to be able to hunt, under the scope of my hunting license.Anyone have any ideas? Encountered this before?Thanks for any info!JP
16250. As used in this part, "BB device" means any instrument that expels a projectile, such as a BB or a pellet, not exceeding 6mm caliber, through the force of air pressure, gas pressure, or spring action, or any spot marker gun.

Bolstering its mission to expand technology in the classroom, the chipmaker acquires educational-software company Kno.
Digital education startup Kno is making its move on elementary and secondary schools. Rent a textbook, anyone?
This story was corrected to note that Intel and Kno will be jointly handling future hardware design, not Intel alone.
After $30 million capital infusion, including $20 million from Intel, makers of Kno educational tablet say they will no longer make tablets, but will focus on software for students.
Intel Capital and Advance Publications will lead a $30 million investment round in Kno, the high-profile student tablet start-up, and Intel itself will take over the hardware design.
The big dual-screen tablet aimed at students gets some quality assurance backup from a cool little homemade robot.
Natali Morris takes a first look at the KNO Tablet Reader at CES 2011.
Today's ridiculous tablet news comes courtesy of US startup Kno, which has launched a tablet aimed at students, measuring a whopping 14 inches.
The start-up, which showed a dual-screen tablet concept in June, says it also plans to have a cheaper, single-screen option.
Microsoft is updating its Windows Live apps, Google's home page looks a bit more like Bing, and the Kno textbook e-reader is revealed.

bested layouts or explicit css positioning
I have a rather large view with many simple components (custom ones).
in order to achieve the layout I need I have to use a rather complex use of sencha nested layouts. my alternative is just to place the components using css positioning.
the explicit positioning is much easier to do, less flexible maybe, but still easy.
what would you guys suggest in such cases?

Nesting things too much will degrade performance so if you have to do it too much then I would suggest using your own CSS. For instance, I see many people using hbox and vbox a lot to get a grid structure but the browsers have some performance issues handling the box layouts.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch
