Area football teams jockeying for CIAC playoff position
There's always a lot to play for when it comes to Thanksgiving football. Year-long bragging rights over rivals are always at stake, and for many the holiday games are the last they will ever play. But for some teams, there's an even bigger incentive to win: the state playoffs.
Seven local teams — Ansonia, Gilbert/Northwestern, Holy Cross, Naugatuck, Southington, Wolcott and Woodland — will play tonight and tomorrow with postseason incentive. Some have already clinched berths, but others need the cards to fall in their favor to assure they will be playing in the quarterfinals Dec. 3.
Ansonia: The Chargers are the only local team to have sealed a home quarterfinal game before Thanksgiving. Ansonia (11-0) will not be the No. 1 seed in Class S, though, as Capital Prep/Classical Magnet has claimed that distinction.
With a victory over Naugatuck, the Chargers will be the No. 2 seed and will host the No. 7 seed. That could be either Coginchaug (with a victory over Cromwell) or Bloomfield, depending on how many bonus points each team receives. Our projections have Coginchaug in the No. 7 spot.
A loss to Naugy could drop Ansonia to the No. 3 seed and a game against Prince Tech.
Gilbert/Northwestern: For the first time since 2010, the Yellowjackets will be back in the Class M playoff field. Gilbert/Northwestern (8-2) clinched its berth last week.
Even with a victory over Housatonic/Wamogo, the 'Jackets appear unlikely to earn a home quarterfinal. Valley Regional/Old Lyme and St. Joseph have laid claim to two of those games, and the winner of the Brookfield-Bethel game will take a third. Joel Barlow would claim the fourth with a win over Weston, leaving GN on the outside by just a few points.
Our projections have Gilbert/Northwestern in the No. 6 spot, meaning a quarterfinal trip to No. 3 Brookfield.
Holy Cross: The Crusaders do not control their own destiny on Thanksgiving against Wolcott, but the scenario is simple. A win by Holy Cross (7-3) with a Coginchaug loss to Cromwell would put the 2011 champion back in the Class S field. The Crusaders would be eliminated with a loss.
Cross can only reach the No. 8 spot with a win and a Coginchaug loss, which would result in a quarterfinal meeting with No. 1 Capital Prep. Our projections have Coginchaug beating Cromwell and Holy Cross losing to Wolcott.
Naugatuck: On the surface, the Greyhounds' scenario seems simple. Naugatuck (9-1) can reach the Class L playoffs in Craig Bruno's first season with a victory.
Of course, that requires beating Ansonia. Should Naugy upset the Chargers, the 'Hounds could earn a home quarterfinal with a New Canaan victory over Darien (the Blue Wave would be Naugy's opponent).
Naugatuck can still qualify with a loss, but it needs help against two other teams. The first part—a New London loss to Norwich Free Academy—is fairly likely. The second part requires a loss by one of four other teams—Farmington (to Plainville), Bristol Eastern (to Bristol Central), Daniel Hand (to Guilford) or North Haven (to Amity)—or aid in bonus points over one of the latter three.
Naugy needs the teams it has beaten to win their Thanksgiving games, so the 'Hounds will be big Torrington and Bunnell fans. They will also be rooting against bonus points for Eastern, Hand and North Haven, including Wilbur Cross over Hillhouse, Derby over Shelton and West Haven over Fairfield Prep.
Our projections have Naugatuck losing to Ansonia. The 'Hounds should get help from a New London loss to NFA, but it does not appear as though they will get enough aid in terms of bonus points against Daniel Hand or North Haven. Hand is in position to top Naugy in tiebreaker points for the eighth and final position.
Southington: All the Blue Knights need to do Thursday morning is to beat Cheshire to return to the Class LL field.
Southington (8-1) probably will not earn a home quarterfinal even with a win, but our projections show it as the No. 6 seed with a victory over the Rams. That would lead to a quarterfinal game at West Haven.
If the Knights lose, they would need losses by two of four teams—Ridgefield (to Danbury), Fairfield Prep (to West Haven), Staples (to Greenwich) and Trumbull (to St. Joseph)—to earn a berth. Based on other projections, Southington would have the No. 8 seed with a loss, giving the Knights a quarterfinal game at Newtown.
Wolcott: Like their opponents on Thursday, the Eagles need a victory and help to earn a Class M postseason berth.
Wolcott (7-3) must beat Holy Cross for the second straight year and get losses by Quinebaug Valley (to Killingly) and Stonington (to Westerly, R.I.) to make a third playoff appearance in a row. The Eagles could out-point Stonington if it wins, but our projections show that to be unlikely.
Those projections have Wolcott beating Holy Cross and Killingly beating Quinebaug Valley, but they have Stonington beating Westerly to edge out the Eagles by a few points for the No. 8 seed.
Woodland: The Hawks are already in the Class S field for the second straight year, but they have a chance to earn the first home playoff game since 2004 with a victory over Seymour.
Woodland (9-2) can clinch a top-four spot by beating the Wildcats for the fifth year in a row. Our projections show the Hawks as the No. 4 seed, behind Rocky Hill, with a win. That would likely give Woodland a quarterfinal against No. 5 Morgan.
If Woodland loses, it would likely fall down to the No. 6 position for a quarterfinal game at Rocky Hill.

This is probably quite a stupid question, but after trying for a long while to figure it out, I still cannot convince my Android browser to save the file from a web link. If the link is a picture , holding over it and pressing "Save As" saves the picture, not the file it links to. My android device has no multitouch (is this required to tell to browser to download?) and simply clicking on a download link takes me nowhere. Can anyone help me?
migrated from superuser.com Mar 15 '11 at 5:33
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
Personally I usually just click the link of the file and it downloads.
As for the image: try long pressing but instead of choosing "Save As" look for "Copy link URL" or "Open in New Window" or something similar to those two menu options. "Copy link URL" should copy the URL of the file to your clipboard, then you can paste that link in the address bar and hit "Go" and it should download your file. "Open in New Window" should essentially do the same thing (i'm just trying to give you as many options as I can to try). If you click on the link it may not take you anywhere but to a blank page while the file downloads.
So to check your download list: You may have already tried this but to see if the file was downloaded you can open your browser, open the menu, then select "More", you should see "Downloads". This is where your downloaded files list is.
Another way you could check is to look in the "downloads" folder on your sdcard (/sdcard/downloads/) using ES File Explorer or some other file explorer.
If this is not a solution let me know and give an example of what you are trying to accomplish and I'll try to figure it out.
The Android browser by default can only download files that the Android system "recognizes" (i.e., there has to be a program registered to handle that file type). It's a stupid restriction in my opinion, but you can install Download Crutch to overcome this limitation (it registers itself for every filetype).
If you're referring to images that link to something else and you want to save the something else, long-press on the image and choose "Save Link As" or similar.
I've struggled with this same issue, though in my case I wanted to save a Text file (.txt) that I had open in the Chrome browser on Android 4.4.x (Kit Kat). After reading this and other questions posted I realised that neither Chrome, the Google applications, nor the standard Android tools would allow me to simply save a Text file from a URL.
To save a Text file from a URL to the file storage on my Android device I used the File Explorer application ES File Explorer. Within ES File Explorer there's a Download Manager that allows you to download any file from a given URL to the file storage on your device.
What Android OS version are you running? And what kind of file does the image link to?
On 2.3.4 the browser offers me "Save link" and "Save image" as two options when I click on an image that is a link (e.g. on the image link to the Main Page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser)
But in earlier versions of Android it was different. E.g. in 1.5, I just see "Save image" and "View image", so there is no direct way in the default browser to save the web page which the image links to.
As Matthew notes, the file type can also matter. On my 2.3.4 phone it asked me if I wanted to save a file for which there was no handler. E.g. for an xml file it said "The content is not supported on the phone. No application can be found to open this file. Do you still want to download it?"
For earlier phones and some kinds of files you may need to install an app which can handle the file. "Download Crutch" is no longer in the market, but there seem to be others that would be suitable.

Rated 5 out of 5�by coach/parent Great Purchase I purchased this helmet for my 12 yr old son. He plays in a very competive hard hitting youth football league. As a parent, safety is my main concern. Concusion related injuries are too common. As a parent and coach we strive to teach our kids that a helmet is for protection and not a weapon. The DNA Pro meets all the expectations for safety that a parent can excpect. The Schutt helment seems to have a better fit for youth than other competiors, and seems to have more padding. The gel is cool and comfortable. My son was able to try on differnt sizes of the exact helmet at Dick's Sporting goods. The sales person was very helpful with getting the correct fit It was fun picking this helmet out with my son and allowing him to select the color and type of face mask. We are very happy with this purchase. It took about 1 week to receive the helmet, once it was ordered. August 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by n/a After further review... Helmet was shipped in a very timely manner. Only problem is dont think it fits properly. Gentleman at store measured my sons head to get accurate size, but I think it is a bit off. So I have a helmet that I am sure doesnt fit. It fits a little loose and I am not sure what to do from here. December 18, 2011

However, after a while, it'll get an odor, it also can get pretty heavy when your tired.So, if you need a helmet... This is it. November 10, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5�by BIG D safety first, good helmet for my 8 yrold convenient with ordering the color and specs needed for sons football team. easy to assemble and my 8 year old is happy with comfort October 20, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5�by GA Dawg Yes, it's worth it... My son is 8 and is starting his third year of tackle football. We play in a very competetive league and their are some big hitters on every team. This helmet must be working well because he has been the initiator and the receiver of some big impacts (relative to the age). I always question him about how he felt after a big tackle or after getting put on his back. He swears that he has never had a headache or felt dizzy. This helmet is packed with technology that you will not find in Rec Dept issued equipment. Schutt has an excellent website that provides a ton of technical data about this helmet and all of the models. August 31, 2011

Bloom: Disorderly Programming for a Distributed World
- Date: to
- Day 2
- Speakers: Peter Alvaro

Right click "Save as…"
I will present Bloom, a programming language targeted at developers of complex cloud computing and distributed systems. Bloom is a 'disorderly' language: it differentiates itself from most common programming languages by embracing rather than resisting the disorderly realities of distributed computing architectures. Building on recent theoretical results including the CALM Theorem, Bloom supports a powerful new programming analysis framework for analyzing the correctness and consistency of distributed programs. To demonstrate Bloom's utility, I will present examples of distributed system infrastructure and applications, including delivery protocols, a key-value store and a replicated shopping cart application. I will then show how Bloom's analysis tools allow the programmer to compare and evaluate these implementations.

5 Mind-Blowing Things Found in Our Own Solar System
#2. Triton's Surface Defies Logic
Triton is by far the largest of Neptune's moons, and as befits a celestial body circulating a planet that has weird-ass black spot storms running rampant, it's a strange piece of work. Although you probably notice that the second you lay your eyes on it: As it happens, Triton looks less like a moon and more like a giant cantaloupe.
Wikimedia Commons
Mm, add a little salt, or maybe some sugar ... damn, this space article is making us hungry.
A little background: Triton is one of extremely few bodies in the solar system that are geologically active. It's believed to be made of a frozen translucent layer of nitrogen with a darker substrate, which creates a sort of solid greenhouse effect. The little bit of sunlight it receives is trapped within the glassy layers. This subterranean warmth melts the ice and causes massive ice- and methane-spewing cryovolcanoes, a word that sounds like it was invented by a disaster movie screenwriter.
This Christmas ... It's Going to Get Hot.
Great, so we seem to know quite a lot about Triton. Creepy place, ice volcanoes. But what does all this have to do with the "looks like a cantaloupe" part? Nothing, that's what. Or maybe something. To be honest, no one has a damn clue.
The thing is, Triton's cantaloupe skin is completely unlike anything science has ever seen, and the cause of its formation is still a mystery. It can't be impact-caused, because the edges of the surface are all smooth and curvy. There could have been some melting and reforming involved -- kind of like ice cream left out on a counter, then returned to the freezer, then brought back out again because you keep changing your mind about whether you want ice cream. But since Triton is so far away from the sun, the source of heat that would have melted its features had to have come from inside it -- like a radioactive core. Some think that the surface is some sort of soft material that's being pushed up through a denser material beneath it, making it more or less like planetary zit residue.
"Crater Face" doesn't even begin to cover it.
But wait, there's more! Triton also seems to be actually warming up, which is pretty unusual for a moon that is 2.5 billion freaking miles away from the sun. The reason Triton continues to warm is -- everyone together now -- unknown. And honestly, science doesn't seem all too eager to delve into it, in case they find out Triton has been an egg of a giant space monster all along.
#1. Mars Shows (Apparent) Traces of Life
Whether we've harnessed it for fear mongering or genuine scientific interest, there's no denying that the Red Planet has always been close to mankind's collective heart. So imagine the gold brick scientists pooped when news emerged that large quantities of methane have been detected in the atmosphere of Mars. What makes this strange is that the ultraviolet in sunlight breaks down methane pretty efficiently, so technically the planet shouldn't be able to have any. That, in turn, means that something on Mars is producing methane.
Geological events are capable of releasing methane, but there is no evidence of recent geological activity on Mars. You know what else is capable of releasing methane? Life.
Exhibit A.
The methane might of course originate from some hitherto unknown geological activity, but one that would require liquid water and lava flows. So, unless some radically new concept of methane production emerges, it looks like Mars has stashed away either water or life -- or both. That's right -- science might be on the verge of discovering living alien life forms. All of those shitty sci-fi writers in the '50s were right!
Only the '50s, though. The rest are still bullshit.
OK, so we might not need to build a fleet of anti-Martian star cruisers just yet. The reigning theory is that there might be some forms of micro-organisms below Mars' surface, as primitive bacteria on Earth release methane as a byproduct of their biological processes. And then we have that infamous meteorite.
The Martian invasion has had kind of a slow start.
Do you remember this from a few years ago? When people were claiming they found a rock that proved Mars had life? In 1984, a team of meteorite hunters tracked and found it in Antarctica. It has since been dated with four different dating techniques, and was shown to be around 4 billion years old -- the oldest rock on Earth by far. On its surface, many strange mineral formations were found, prompting scientists to study it obsessively ever since. The latest, most technologically advanced analysis done in 2009 concluded basically nothing.
Basically nothing. They did find out one thing: The formations must have occurred in liquid. So they set out sciencing the shit out of the meteorite, dubbed ALH 84001. As years passed, scientist after scientist found they were unable to reproduce the meteorite's formations using inorganic chemical processes, which would seem to suggest they were created by something organic. As in living. Now, that doesn't mean there is life on Mars -- even if there were ancient fossilized alien bacteria, 4 billion years is a long damn time. Surely, their little bacteria civilization would've died out millions of years ago.
Then again ... if they did, who the hell is making all the methane?
It's always the simplest explanation, right?

Rated 5 out of 5 by sherryts from A comfortable and stylish boot for dress. My husband is a freak about buying shoes. He hangs on to his favorites until I have to sneak them in the garbage. His last pair of "dress" boots were the ugliest things I had ever seen and he wore them until the soles fell off and then even glued the soles back on! That was enough! I knew he liked the Rockport shoes he had worn in the summer, so I got on-line and searched for a boot he could wear in our messy winter weather that would look good for a man in an executive position. I briefly showed him a picture of the boots and he said they looked ok, never dreaming I would buy him a pair. When he got the boots, they fit him perfectly. He walks on concrete surfaces all day and says the boots are so comfortable that his feet don't ache any more. I have even seen him wearing them when the weather is fine outside!

Interview By MIRANDA ROGERS MCDONALD | The Chic Sheet
What is your fashion view?
For me, fashion is an extension of my personality. When I'm getting dressed I think about where I'm going, who I'm seeing and what image I want to project. Then I try to add a little spin to it, but I don't take it too seriously. They're just clothes, after all.
How do you describe your style?
A little all over the place. Some days it's preppy and colorful, and other times it's more subdued and edgier. No matter what, I try to stick with shapes and styles that I know work on my body type – and if it has polka dots on it, even better.
What are your favorite pieces?
My staples are deconstructed blazers, skinny jeans, great trousers, silk blouses and heels – the higher, the better.
Where is your favorite place to shop?
I am not going to lie, I find tons of stuff at Forever 21. I'm not afraid to dig, and if you pick the right pieces – i.e., the right fabric – they can last way longer than you think. I also pop into Margaret's whenever I'm in the area. I've found some amazing stuff there, such as Marc Jacobs blazers, Trina Turk blouses and tons of Tory Burch, and all are for a fraction of the boutique cost. If I'm looking for something special I'll head up to Clodhoppers. Meggie & Cary always help me find something amazing there.
Who is your fashion icon, and why?
Jennifer Aniston, because she always looks effortless and chic.
What inspired you to create Lou What Wear?
I really got into blogging after starting my other blog, Secondary Embarrassment, which focuses on my love for trashy reality TV – I write recaps of all The Bachelorette episodes. I was inspired by all the amazing fashion bloggers out there, but I didn't feel like any of the sites I loved related to my life and where I live.
Louisville is full of amazing fashion and style, so I just set out to create something that captured that local feel, while also giving a little bit of that big city inspiration. My friend helped me come up with the name, and now, one year later, the rest is history!
Miranda Rogers McDonald is the author of www.thechicsheet.net. When Miranda isn't blogging about fashion or flexing her social media muscle, she is spending time with her husband and feisty Chihuahua, Niles. She believes in celebrating the smaller things in life, such as good wine and food, an interesting book and sitting on patios while enjoying conversations with her closest friends. She strives to one day join the ranks of the fashion editors that she idolizes, and to show the world that a girl from Kentucky knows a little something about style.

DENVER � It�s now a crime in Colorado to buy or sell the synthetic drug known as �bath salts.�
Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the ban into law Thursday.
But it almost didn�t happen because of a last-minute fumble by the Legislature.
There was widespread support for the ban, sponsored by Rep. J. Paul Brown, R-Ignacio, and Sen. Joyce Foster, D-Denver. But the bill died the second-to-last day of the session � along with two dozen other bills � when the House of Representatives ground to a halt in a battle over civil unions for gay and lesbian couples.
The Senate resurrected the bill�s language the next day, pinning it to a criminal justice omnibus bill that made several changes to state statutes. Hickenlooper signed the catch-all bill Thursday.
�I�m just glad that we were able to amend it onto the omnibus bill,� Brown said, before leveling some choice words at bath salt dealers. �They are despicable. I hope they will leave Colorado.�
The bill makes it a misdemeanor to buy bath salts, and a felony to sell them.
Bath salts aren�t intended for use in the bath at all, but manufacturers used the term to avoid regulation.
In addition to criminal penalties, the bill imposes civil fines for anyone selling the drug and claiming it�s a bath product.
The drug is fairly new. It started showing up in Colorado head shops within the last few years.
Bath salts are cheap, highly addictive and dangerous, Hickenlooper said.
�This is a classic example of trying to nip something in the bud,� Hickenlooper said. �New drugs emerge on the market very rapidly, and I think we have to respond in kind.�
The omnibus bill also includes a study of drug sentencing to try to reserve prison terms for dealers, not addicts.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- Details of a brutal beating and burning were exposed from a co-defendant in Shawnee County Court Wednesday (7/25).
Former Topeka convenience store partner Monroe Lockhart was bound over for trial on aggravated felony counts of burglary, intimidation, battery and assault with a deadly weapon, stemming from a break in and beating last November.
Co-defendant Jacob Barnett took the stand against Lockhart Wednesday morning. Barnett pleaded guilty to all charges, he hoped, for a reduced sentence in exchange for his testimony. Barnett was sentenced Wednesday afternoon to three years, eight months in prison, and he must register as a violent offender on release.
Before his sentencing, Barnett told Judge Mark Braun he devised a plan to rob Mo's Express convenience store in Hudson Crossing, where Lockhart was a managing partner.
Barnett brought Crystal McGuire and Caleb Russel along when he stole cigarettes and a laptop computer, which he says he traded for drugs.
Barnett says he blamed McGuire and Russel for the theft, and he, Lockhart, and Anthony Talbert went to McGuire and Russel's trailer to confront them.
Barnett proceeded to brutally beat McGuire, and burn her with a hot knife. He said he did it because Lockhart had a gun, and demanded that Barnett prove to him he wasn't involved.
Charges against Anthony Talbert were dropped.
The developer of the convenience store property, Corey Brown, was found dead in January. No one has been charged in his death.

Great game, even if you're not a huge Batman fan.
15 Comments add a comment
Yes, it's worth playing despite the fact that it requires Games for Windows Live.

Arkham City GOTY $23.99

LEGO Batman: The Videogame $4.99
Bastion $3.75
Feel free to post your own deal for the individual games above.
At first glance, the picture looks like Thomas the Tank Engine having a Halloween Adventure. :)
@lumpthar: Hah! Yes.
Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are so freaking good. Just play (& complete) asylum first as Arkham City adds so much more, both in terms of gameplay and story.
As new Kirk once said, " DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!!!"
Apparently coupon code 1GFT82012 stacks with these deals. HOWEVER, it's single use tied to your account, so be sure you want to use it on something this cheap as opposed to some full priced game where you'll get more money off.
@rsmoker: "despite the fact that it requires Games for Windows Live"
Is that a pay to play game, like world of warcraft?
@danieleg: No, it's a free service provided by Microsoft that would be fine if it worked well and was easy to use, but in my experience it is neither.
@rsmoker: Thanks, RS
@rsmoker: Can't you just plug the game's "CD Key" into your Steam account, and use that? Then you don't have to mess with the Microsoft program
@rsmoker: If we don't use the coupon code here, how long will it last? Sorry, I'm a steam newb.
@ashtonsanders: you can try but most often the key will not work on steam.
@warpstone: the coupon has been active for 2-3 months now.
@rsmoker: I've had no problems with Games for Windows Live, but I've only played the two Arkham games.
I followed an online tip and installed GFWL first, before I installed Arkham Asylum. From the reviews it appeared that most of the problems were installing it during the game installation.
You need GFWL because that's where your progress is stored, and it's where the extra achievements are recorded.
I am not much of a game player (just the two Arkhams and the two Portals).
I finished it the first time without getting very good at combat.
@ashtonsanders: No, if you get it through Steam you'll need both the Steam client and Games for Windows Live.

Children's Health
Food Allergies in Kids More Common Than Thought
June 20, 2011 -- The largest study ever to track childhood food allergies in the U.S. shows that they may be more common and more dangerous than previously recognized.
The study, a detailed survey of families with at least one child younger than 18, shows that 8% of kids under age 18 are allergic to at least one food. Surveys for about 38, 000 children were completed.
Previous studies, including a government survey published in 2009, had pegged that number at around 4%.
Allergies to peanuts were the most commonly reported, affecting 2% of kids. Milk and shellfish allergies ranked second and third. Tree nuts, egg, fin fish, strawberry, wheat, and soy rounded out the top nine food triggers.
"This study shows that there's a very high, and higher than we thought, prevalence of food allergy in the U.S." says Susan Schuval, MD, pediatric allergist at Cohen Children's Medical Center in New Hyde Park, N.Y., who was not involved in the study.
"We see this in our clinic," Schuval says, "tons and tons of food allergies."
Severe Reactions Are Common
Many food allergies in children are mild and fade over time. But in other cases, reactions to food can be dangerous and even deadly.
The new study offers one of the first estimates of these severe reactions in children, showing that 40% of kids with food allergies experience severe symptoms such as wheezing and anaphylaxis, which is characterized by difficulty breathing and a sudden drop in blood pressure.
"I don't think people quite understand food allergy," says study researcher Ruchi S. Gupta, MD, MPH, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. "It could be something that's life-threatening. It could cause death."
The study found that food allergies were highest in preschoolers, peaking between 3 to 5 years of age.
Teenagers, however, particularly boys, were most likely to experience severe, life-threatening reactions.
"More fatalities occur in teenagers and older children," Gupta says. "They're going out with their friends and they don't want to feel different. They may not ask the ingredients in everything, you know, at a restaurant, in front of people."
Independent experts praised the scope of the new study, which is published in the journal Pediatrics.
"This is a very significant study since accurate data on the prevalence of food allergy are lacking," says Robert Wood, MD, director of pediatric allergic and immunology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, in Baltimore, in an email to WebMD.

Back to School: 10 Tips for a Smooth Start
9 of 11
Buy a First Day Outfit
New clothes can get any fashionista excited for a big event. Buy your child a special first-day-of-school outfit to get her started on the right foot. She'll feel confident walking through the door of her new classroom if she is wearing new threads that the two of you picked out together! For a younger child, be sure that her new clothes are kid-friendly, and she can easily undo any buttons or snaps when she needs to use the bathroom.


text: This time I will be uploading another chibi lesson that has been long awaited by a member on Dragoart.com, and here it is for you all to enjoy and learn from. I will now show you "how to draw chibi Generator Rex", step by step. This is by far an awesome character that is not only cool, but very much like Ben Tennyson as well. Like Ben, Rex is able to be stronger then what he really is. But for Rex, he already has a mutation within him that enables him to be stronger. Ben turns into different alien forms by using the Omnitrix at his disposal. Anyway, like all chibi characters, Rex will be fairly easy to replicate and learn from. You will find that learning from this lesson on "how to draw chibi Rex", will be just the activity you need to complete, to become a true Generator Rex fan. As for me, I think he came out just as good, or better then the chibi Ben 10 I did a couple of weeks ago. Don't forget to leave comments, and use the star rating system to let me know how my work is. If there is a character from a favorite animated series that you would like to see in chibi form, just drop a request, and you will sure see what you are looking for sooner then later. I have to bolt out of here for now, but I will return. Have fun drawing this chibi version of Generator Rex. Peace out people, and have a happy drawing day!

The second world war affected the whole of Italy, splitting the country in two: from Rome downwards the army supported the Anglo-American forces, while in the north there was a large resistance to the advance. Thus the Italian Social Republic came about, with its government headquarters set up to the south-west of Lake Garda. Its capital was Salò, where Mussolini and Hitler attempted to reorganise fascist Italy.
The presence today of this historical period is still felt strongly, in this natural landscape setting, unique in the world, integrating monuments and testimonies of the many cultures that have passed through.
Mussolini took up residence in Gargnano, in the fantastic Villa Feltrinelli, furnished at the time in a simple and modest style. Bogliaco was the home town of Giovanni Dolfin, the head of the "Segreteria Particolare" (Special Secretariat), the guards of Mussolini in the Alpine Barracks and the troops of the R.S.I on the golf course. Palazzo Bettoni became the headquarters of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
Maderno was host to the officials closest to Mussolini, while Gardone Riviera was divided into both a prestigious resort (thanks to the many lakeside villas) and hospital centre (neutral zone according to the International Geneva Convention).
Salò was the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Policy and Popular Culture, and also host to the Salò Police Force and the National Republican Guard (formerly Arma dei Carabinieri). From Salò to Desenzano, via Portese and San Felice del Benaco, there are many villas and residences of ministers and partners who worked closely with Mussolini.
The Republic was distributed across the entire territory of Lake Garda, and it was practically impossible for the various Ministers to communicate with one another. When the bombings started and the conflict worsened, all members had to face days of walking to reach Mussolini and make important decisions.
Italy remained divided until 1945, the year of Liberation, and the year of the end of the Social Republic of Salò. Mussolini and his highest officials died on 28 April near Lake Como.

So the other day I purchased a 128gb SSD for my desktop.
Currently I run 12.10 on a SATA drive, but want to do a clean install on the SSD and run that as the main OS drive+apps.
I've been reading everywhere that I should set up a HDD as a 'Storage' drive, for all data not going on the SSD. This is logical, and I will be using the 300gb drive I currently do--but my question is, is there any way to make that HDD the 'default' save-space for the OS?
What I mean is that, I assume when I install Ubuntu on the SSD it will establish all the folders (docs, pics, videos, downloads &c&c) and will want to--by default--access these whenever I click into them.
Is there a way to set that up on a separate drive and 'default' in to that, rather than the SSD?

So I'm no Mathematician, but I do need some help. Is there any way to make a power set that contains a set containing a set containing some element? The form that I'm looking for is: $\{\{b\}\}$
Doing something like: $\mathcal{P}(\{b\})$ gives me: $\{\{\},\{b\}\}$ which is close.
Doing something like: $\mathcal{P}(\{\{b\}\})$ gives me: $\{\{\}, (b)\}$ which I do not understand.
The full context of the problem is: I'm looking for a the smallest set whose power set contains the collection of sets given. The collection of sets I'm working on looks like: $\{\{a\},\{\{b\}\},\{a,b\}\}$. I've tried $\mathcal{P}(\{a,b\})$ and $\mathcal{P}(\{a,\{b\}\})$ and $\mathcal{P}(\{a,b,\{\}\})$ but I can't see how to get $\{\{b\}\}$. Any help would be appreciated!

With many programming languages, you have the opportunity of practicing the language by doing problems or developing programs that will do certain things. With LaTeX, however, you can't exactly do that because it is a typesetting language and therefore, requires some sort of material to be practiced with. I understand there is the
lipsum package but what are somethings that a person can do to practice their LaTeX skills without having the need for material? For example, practice for building various tables, practice for doing tricky math equations etc.

As several people have said, the only way is to write and typeset documents in LaTeX. Calculating the first 30 primes might make you a better programmer, but it is doubtful if it will make you a better LaTeX user, since it is of dubious utility to solve a problem for which LaTeX is not the right solution. If you're not sure what to write:
I personally found that after I knew the basics, just using LaTeX for writing assignments and papers, then using it to create presentations, then my CV, ...
My natural curiosity as a programmer (as well as my tendency to procrastinate) led me to try and create shortcuts for the things I used most. This led to reading package documentation. Others already created packages to do the things I wanted. CTAN contains loads of interesting stuff, usually with good documentation.
Eventually I had a feeling for what was possible. And when a package I needed didn't exist, I wrote my own. All of this happened rather naturally over the course of a few years.
Of course, at all times there was this website, with its great community, to answer my questions. Also, I eventually read the TeXbook by Knuth. He's an excellent author.
In short: Learn by doing. It's not original, but there you have it.
I tried to restrain myself from posting an answer, but here it is.
When I read the title of the question, "How to practice LaTeX?", something came to my mind: Pokémon. I know it might sound strange, but I'll try to explain this reasoning.
I played Pokémon as a kid. It was not amongst my favourite games at all, but the mechanics were quite interesting. And there was one particular trainer phrase that triggered my memory, something along these lines:
Wait a minute, now. You don't practice a battle. That's the basic foundation of the game. I think the same applies to LaTeX:
Using LaTeX is much like playing Pokémon - we need to gain experience from "battles", that is, problems we can solve by using our skills.
Of course, we always begin our journey with a starter Pokémon:
I'd say it would be great for all of us to have these three starter Pokémons in our team. Of course, it's a matter of personal taste, it depends on how everyone sees LaTeX.
Of course, we hope someday to reach the status of TeXperts and own our Mewtwo's, like egreg and David.
I learned LaTeX while writing my dissertation. Things which helped me a lot:
(Version control can help you with this. Just search for
It is a good question. There are at least two paths.
I don't know what your background is, but there are at least a couple of things you could do. It also depends on what exactly you intend to specialize yourself in. You could be a typesetting guru, for whom no mathematical formula is difficult, then you could be a presentation expert, if you focus on beamer and then again you could be a graphics wizard, making amazing 3D images (there again you have several tools to choose from). And of course there are lots and lots of other possibilities... I'm barely scratching the surface here.
If you are a student, you could try to create 'clean'copies of your handwritten notes taken in class. I f you have enough time on your hands and are that committed, you can offer your teacher to typeset the notes for him/her. (Lucky teacher!)
If you are in the industry, you could typeset application notes, manuals, guidelines that are not changed too frequently and have rather wide circulation in- or outside the company. You could also build a framework for taking minutes with
If you are just a hobbyist, just pick a book from the shelf with fancy things in it, like text flowing around images, alternating one- and two-column layout, fancy drop caps or chapter headings or... or... or... A suggestion would be a geometry book. That can be challenging to recreate, so as to actually have code only.
And of course, as many others suggested, visit TeX.SX, read and post questions and answer them (even your own ones, if you find an interesting solution). That's how I learned a lot of things, too.
I hope these are sufficient ideas to get started! Good luck!
One of the reasons LaTeX is so highly regarded is the beautiful typesetting of books. If you want to practice I think Project Gutenberg is a good source for beautiful literature where the typesetting is often in a pretty sad state. Here you can not only practice but produce something worthwhile.
Just hacking LaTeX for the sake of it sounds not so useful. There are many small tricks that you might need in one situation or the other but what is the benefit of learning details that you might never use?
What I usually do is the following: I check out new packages or packages with interesting names and just look what they do. I also create small minimal examples and put them in my
If I then ever encounter a situation where I need a certain functionality, I have an example at hand.
I actually went back through a good number of my Masters classes-in which I knew the professors were using LaTeX to create handouts and course lectures-and tried to recreate the same documentation/layouts that they did. I found that to be very productive as there were so many different courses in my Operations Research program containing all sorts of interesting problems. Took a bit and allowed for a good amount of experimentation.
I practiced my LaTeX math skills by editing questions and answers on the Mathematics Stack Exchange. As a bonus, I managed to rake up over 400 reputation while only answering a single question.
I figure I will add in my two cents. As others have suggested and also practice, I do all my homework in
Therefore, I only work on my notes during the breaks. By doing this, I can make the most out of typesetting them in
For instance, I am working on some notes now. Since I have no academic responsibilities, I have the time to ask numerous question here and hone my skills.
And the final way I practice is ever I attempt to answer questions when I think I am capable of doing so.
Here is a link to the notes I just finished (just missing a couple of figures I am still working on):
So this is how I find ways to practice
For basic practice, I encourage getting texts from gutenberg.org and typesetting them! There are many texts available in my native language (Danish), but they are obviously pure text - since this is the point - and I have LaTeX'ed some of them and made them available. I did this as part of writing an article and doing in instruction video on LaTeX.
Here's a good website I managed to find. Just scroll down and you'll see an input bar to put your syntax.

Database Connectivity
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to populate a grid or tree from an Oracle Database. I have created a connection class i can connect and query the database but do i use this result set to populate the grid or is there other steps such as RPCProxy or interfaces I should implement and use.
Kind Regards,
12 Sep 2012 9:26 AM #2
I think GWT RPC is quite suitable already for passing data from the database to the GXT Grid data widget. I'm still reviewing GXT 3 but in Ext GWT 2 we created some sort of PageModel which represents a query result and put that into a Map and pass it into the Grid widget:
@Override public void setGridData(List<Map<String, String>> data, int offset, int total) { List<ModelData> list = new ArrayList<ModelData>(); int count = data.size(); for (int i=0; i<count; i++) { ModelData model = new BaseModelData(); for (Entry<String, String> entry: data.get(i).entrySet()) { model.set(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue()); } list.add(model); } ListStore<ModelData> store = grid.getStore(); store.removeAll(); store.add(list); PagingLoadResult<Map<String, String>> result = new BasePagingLoadResult<Map<String,String>>(null, offset, total); LoadEvent event = new LoadEvent(null, null, result); List<Listener<? extends BaseEvent>> listeners = loader.getListeners(Loader.Load); count = listeners.size(); for (int i=0; i<count; i++) { LoadListener listener = (LoadListener)listeners.get(i); listener.loaderLoad(event); } grid.unmask(); }
12 Sep 2012 11:01 AM #3
Thanks for the sharp response.
I am new to GXT so i am not sure how it was structured in GXT2. Can you possibly send a snippet of your database code and how the data passes into the method you have shown above.
Thanks again,
12 Sep 2012 4:57 PM #4
@Override public PageModel<Map<String, String>> query(String sql, final int offset, final int limit) throws QueryException { try { return jdbcTemplate.query(sql, new ResultSetExtractor<PageModel<Map<String, String>>>() { @Override public PageModel<Map<String, String>> extractData(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException, DataAccessException { PageModel<Map<String, String>> pageModel = new PageModel<Map<String,String>>(); List<Map<String, String>> list = new ArrayList<Map<String,String>>(); int rows = 0; // skip rows for (int i=0; i<offset&&rs.next(); i++) { rows++; } // get rows for (int i=0; i<limit&&rs.next(); i++) { Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>(); ResultSetMetaData metadata = rs.getMetaData(); int count = metadata.getColumnCount(); for (int j=1; j<=count; j++) { map.put(metadata.getColumnName(j), rs.getString(j)); } list.add(map); rows++; } // iterate remaining rows to get total rows while (rs.next()) rows++; pageModel.setOffset(offset); pageModel.setLimit(limit); pageModel.setData(list); pageModel.setTotal(rows); return pageModel; } }); } catch (DataAccessException e) { throw new QueryException(e); } }
After this, you should create a GWT RPC that access this query code then process the PageModel, get the data which is aCode:
List<Map<String, String>>Code:
13 Sep 2012 6:06 AM #5
Thanks for providing that code. Still a little unsure of how your application is structured. I noticed when i tried to implement the PageModel you are using the Spring Framework do you have any examples for just using the basic grid, an RPC example and so on.
Thanks again,
13 Sep 2012 10:05 AM #6
I'm not sure what approach is most suitable for you, but getting data from the Database is a different, I mean you can do a PageModel approach or ORM approach, whatever suites you best. If you're just testing out, may be you can create a "Test data" then create your column configs for the Grid and then bind a Store in that Grid maybe this can help you:
13 Sep 2012 10:38 AM #7
The link you have sent is a lot like one of the samples included in the sencha download and did help me. I'm not sure an orm is applicable to me as I don't want tied to the implementation. Really having trouble just getting simple data from the database into this basic grid as in the example link replacing the list of test data. I don't know what the list store is, column model etc if I need these for a database populated grid. model key provider? and also an rpc class for the Communication. If I seen a simple example it would help me see how it all fits. I thought the documentation would have been better.
Thanks for being my sole form of help,
17 Sep 2012 1:46 AM #8
Maybe you can try looking at this showcase Ext GWT showcase: http://bit.ly/NoA5Pt
You can select the "Grid" from the options and see the actual demo running and as well as look at its source.

5 Ways Philip K Dick's Insanity Changed the World of Movies
Sometimes you see a movie with a real mindfuck of a plot and you think, "Who the hell thinks up this stuff?"
It's pretty much one guy. His movies are on the way to grossing a billion dollars, but the man himself died broke, not having lived to see any of them.
Also, he was insane.
#5. You Are a Fan of Philip K Dick, Whether You Know it or Not
His name was Philip K. Dick, and if you haven't heard of him you should try reading those words that appear on the screen at the start of a movie sometime. He was a prolific but not hugely popular sci-fi writer from the 1950s until his death in 1982, but now Hollywood seems determined to adapt every single one of the man's 44 novels and 120 short stories. Have you seen the new Matt Damon movie The Adjustment Bureau? About a politician who finds out that all of reality is in fact controlled by supernatural men in hats with the ability to stop time?
They use it the same way we'd use it: to watch people fuck.
It's adapted from a Philip K Dick short story, and it's typical Dick -- at the center is a likable everyman who finds out that reality is not what it seems. If you haven't seen that one, you've probably seen at least half of these Dick adaptations:
1982: Blade Runner -- Harrison Ford stars as an everyman cop who figures out he might be a robot in disguise.
1990: Total Recall -- Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as an everyman construction worker who figures out he might be living in a computer simulation, or is a secret agent who has been programmed with a false personality.
Some adaptations are...looser, than others.
1995: Screamers -- Peter "RoboCop" Weller stars as an everyman soldier who realizes the human enemies he thought he was fighting are actually robots in disguise.
2002: Minority Report -- Tom Cruise is an everyman cop who realizes the pre-crime unit he works for is not what it seems.
Man, you could spam dozens of YouTube comment #2es at a time with a computer like that.
2003: Paycheck -- Ben Affleck is an everyman engineer who finds his memory has been wiped and the job he has taken is not what it seems.
2006: A Scanner Darkly -- Keanu Reeves is an everyman who inhabits a world of hallucinations and "scrambled" agents where no one is what they seem.
2007: Next -- Nicolas Cage can see two minutes into the future or some shit.
Just skip this one.
That's not even a complete list. Eleven freaking stories from this one guy have been turned into movies, and right now no fewer than six more are being developed for film by the likes of Michel Gondry and Ridley Scott, including a Total Recall reboot starring Colin Farrell.
Name us one single writer, anywhere, from any genre, who can say the same (Dick was already the most adapted sci-fi author in film history several movies ago). And that's not even getting into all the movies that borrowed from Dick (aka The Truman Show, Inception, Vanilla Sky, The Matrix -- and then you have directors like Darren Aronofsky who refer to him as an influence).
"I'd like to thank Philip K. Dick and the half-liter of LSD I take with my cheerios every morning."
"Wow", you're no doubt thinking. "It must have been sweet to write all those stories that inspired hit movies. No doubt this Philip K. Dick was constantly lounging by the pool with Harrison Ford and had tons of money and was completely sane. lol Dick."
#4. Dick Was Broke When He Died
Philip K Dick passed away just before Blade Runner came out and the Hollywood gold rush began. Even during the most profitable time of his career from 1965-1968. he was only making about $12,000 a year. For instance, in the early 50's when he wrote Paycheck he ironically was so poor he had to buy horse meat from a pet shop to survive.
We've all been there, Phil. Some of us go back from time to time when we're making fajitas.
Meanwhile, the $15 million Ben Affleck made from starring in the (shitty) adaptation was enough for Affleck to eat a different thoroughbred racehorse for dinner every day for the next three years. We're not saying that's what he did with the money of course, just that he should be man enough to come forward and admit it, and apologize to the foals for making them watch.
Twenty-plus years into his career, Dick was so broke that Robert Heinlein, an author who was his polar opposite, offered to buy him a typewriter. By the way, this was around the same time in his life that Dick began to believe he was traveling to ancient Rome, courtesy of a time travelling alien who visited him in his sleep.
Via Wikipedia Commons
"I'mf Philip K. Dick, and this terrifying android replica of me is less crazy than literally every sentence I ever uttered."
#3. Did We Mention He Was Also Crazy?
And here's where the story takes a positively Dickian twist.
Audiences love these movies because of the patented "what's real and what's not" mindfuck twists. And it appears that Dick wrote them because he, himself, didn't know what was real. Dick was paranoid and may have been schizophrenic.
In other words, his mental illness has sold tens of millions of tickets.
Stay tuned for our next article, "7 Unexpected Benefits of Unmedicated Schizophrenia".
From the age of 7, Dick experienced vertigo so severe it led to him feeling completely disconnected from reality. When he started writing full time in the 50's he'd get paid about $20 per short story, which led to the formation of his amphetamine habit as he used to lock himself away with his drugs and his typewriter writing 68 pages a day (by comparison, writing machine Stephen King does 10 pages a day).
Then in February and March of 1974, Dick believed he started receiving a series of communications from an entity that he called VALIS, for Vast Active Living Intelligent System. These were delivered via an "information-rich pink beam" that transmitted directly into his mind. At first the messages were in the form of laser beams and geometric patterns, eventually they involved him living a double live as a persecuted Christian in Rome during the first century A.D. He ended up writing about these experiences in the books VALIS, Radio Free Albemuth and an 8,000 page long journal he called Exegesis. Here's one of his journal entries on the subject:
That pink beam is shooting Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep into his brain right now.
"March 20, 1974: It seized me entirely, lifting me from the limitations of the space-time matrix; it mastered me as, at the same time, I knew that the world around me was cardboard, a fake. Through its power of perception I saw what really existed, and through its power of no-thought decision, I acted to free myself. It took on in battle, as a champion of all human spirits in thrall, every evil, every Iron Imprisoning thing."
Dick claimed that at one point VALIS informed him that his son's life was in danger from an undiagnosed hernia. Dick took his son to the hospital, the hernia was discovered and operated on and his son's life was saved.
It's okay if you need to take a few minutes to piece your shattered concept of reality back together. We'll wait.
You don't have to be crazy to write mind-bending science fiction, but it apparently helps. Many of Dick's stories revolve around questions about the nature of reality, schizophrenia, paranoia, drug use, religion and hallucinogenic imagery. Whether any of these are related to the fact that all his pre 1970 stories were written while high on amphetamines we'll leave for you to decide, but they totally were. The man would mix offworld colonies, cold war politics, Tibetan theology, corny advertising jingles, psionic powers, sentient jellies and small scale domestic drama. Not just in the same book -- all those elements could easily appear in the same paragraph.
We're shocked that Philip K. Dick-style writing isn't taught in any Writer's Workshops.

Why do we have our own separate chat system rather than going with IRC? What does the current chat client offer that IRC can't and what benefits could this choice have in the future?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
First of all, you're comparing apples to biology books. IRC is a protocol. So the question
is like saying
That said, there are many reasons why the Stack Overflow chat infrastructure is not based on IRC. Here are the (in my view) most important ones:
1. The technology stack
Almost all of Stack Overflow's / Stack Exchange's technology runs on Windows, IIS, and ASP.NET MVC. Now, anyone can think that this is an inferior technology, evil proprietarism, or waste of money – it doesn't matter what they think, because the bottom line is: It is how it is.
And when a company offers a product, they have to support it. And for obvious reasons, almost all Stack Overflow's developers have long-time experience with this stack (myself being an exception). So building the product with the same technology makes sense.
Of course you can throw in a "best tool for the job" argument here, but matter of fact is: "the job" is not only "offer a chat service", but "offer a chat service that integrates well into the rest of the company's toolchain/development process/support mechanisms/infrastructure".
2. Features
There are many features that we want to have in the Stack Overflow chat that are not (or not without a big hassle) supported by IRC. rchern has named some of them in her answer. Others include
3. Parent site integration
This somewhat ties in with 2), but is important enough to be its own point.
The Stack Overflow chat is not just a stand-alone application. It is intended to be supplemental to Stack Overflow itself.
4. End user accessibility
Please don't tell me IRC is good at making it easy for people to jump in and start chatting. Because it's not.
To somewhat effectively (let alone efficiently) use IRC, you have to get comfortable with a bunch of commands and conventions. Of course there are clients that assist in hiding some of the complexity, but in the end, if you don't have an at least basic understanding of the underlying technology, it's pretty easy to misuse IRC.
Let me quote Steve Krug here.*
*Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, 2nd ed., New Riders, pages 26 & 28
When a user comes to the Stack Overflow chat, what they want to do is chat, period.
This gets even more important as the Stack Exchange network expands outside the traditional technology geek area. What percentage of cooking / biking / saltwater aquarium enthusiasts have ever even heard of IRC?
But even within the geek/programmer community, the whole "They like to figure out how it works and have no problem with digging for results" idea is a myth in my experience. Even we want to get things done. And I think that the overall response to the launch of the Stack Overflow chat (both in terms of sheer numbers and in terms of the very positive reactions) is another proof of this.
I may not agree with the choice necessarily and I won't get into that, but this seems to be turning into oh, oh, that says irc...downvote!! despite it being a perfectly valid question, so here's a couple things. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Personal opinions on how these things could be handled not included.
Disclaimer : I still didn't use the chat system, so this is only reflecting my point of view.
As flexible as IRC could be, doesn't offer modern perks of modern community chat service :
As bad as it could be to "reinvent" the wheel against using a proven protocol: Provide a web interface that is familiar to user (integrated), instead of try to integrate a web interface based on protocol limitations :
Plus pushing an all microsoft solution looks very good for MSFT, so they would be more willing to support the website (technically or financially).
But my emphasis would be security. IRC still reeks too much "social engineering".
Two good reasons not mentioned so far.
One: web-based chat is supported out of the box by all modern browsers. IRC requires you to install additional software, certainly on Windows at least. (On my Windows 7 machine, neither IE nor Firefox nor Google Chrome recognise irc:// links.)
Two: web-based chat operates by HTTP through port 80. IRC requires other ports, which are much more likely to be blocked by corporate firewalls.
Wow, you all REALLY hated this. Impressive negative response! This was just my opinion. My point was that some people expressed interested in IRC -- sorry for offending you all :(.
(This should be a comment on balpha's answer, but it's too long. So I'm posting it as a response instead.)
1: Technology Stack
There are a few good points here, but basically, there is no reason you cannot write an IRC server in pure ASP.NET MVC, or whatever. There's no rule that you have to use some IRC server in another language. I don't think this really counts as an issue.
2: Features
Again, with your custom C# IRC server, many of these become trivial to implement as well, making logs available and searchable is just a few extra steps. Once you re-create the chat.stackoverflow.com website -- even as just an enhanced IRC client -- you can do the same integration with the website.
3: Parent Site Integration
As the post says, you could just have NickServ use OpenID. At this point, it's not that hard. Again, all of this can have a great UI on the client-side webirc client at chat.stackoverflow.com, and a much poorer one on a standard IRC client. That's fine. The people who are using IRC to connect to this are the ones who can figure it out.
4: End User Accessibility
Similarly, the chat.stackoverflow.com IRC "client" can create that nice experience. No more confusing commands, it offers a easy-to-use, well-designed way to get chatting quickly and easily. No hassle. The only difference anyone would notice using this type of setup would be that you can connect using your favorite IRC client.
And that would get you at least one more person idling and answering questions.

GTA IV TBoGT Role-Play Clan LCRPCZ
LCRPCZ offers an realistic Xbox 360 Role-Play that plays on Grand Theft Auto 4 The Ballad of Gay Tony. We focus on the civilian life and the Police Department. The civilians are members who have jobs and may create small businesses. The police force reduce and prevent crime by patrolling the city in marked police vehicles and undercover police vehicles. We have a money system that we use to pay civilians so they will be able to buy cars, houses or anything they want. There is something in LCRPCZ that will catch everyone's eye. We love to have fun, check out our application page to apply now! The police force has multiple divisions including: Noose: This division contains regular patrol officers who have the training in the Noose field. In situations like hostage negation, bank robberies, shootouts and more, Noose will respond heavily armed ready to eliminate the threat. Patrol officers that are on Noose will get called out to respond code 3 to the police headquarters to gear up and get ready to roll out to the Noose call. Most patrol officers will be trained to be in the Noose division. Detective: The detective division will only contain 3 officers which means trying out for the division will be hard. Only 1 detective will be on duty at a time, which means that if there are 2 detectives in one game, one detective will have to be a patrol officer for that game. The detectives help patrol officers and also respond to crime scenes and also search for people with warrants. In this division you must pass training and be in good standing with LCPD. Aviation: This division will only contain 2 officers, which means this divison is also hard to get into. This division will help in pursuits, look for escaped subjects and any other situation that an helicopter is needed. This Division takes time to train in and is a big challenge. So are you up for a challenge. Patrol: This divison is pretty much obvious, all police officers are patrol officers except detectives. This division is the most important division because they are the first responders to everything. This division however still has training but it is not intense as the other divisions. The civilians can chose from various of jobs like an restaurant owner, DMV worker, car salesman, and much more. We also have a fire department that have day shifts and night shifts so you can still enjoy yourself and don't have to be a ems or firefighter the while day.

Grid store refresh scrollToTop problem
I have a problem using GXT grid. It automatically scrolls to upper left position upon adding new data to it.
Here are the things I have tried but didn't solve the problem:
1) overriding GridView's scrollToTop and make it do nothing, but this didn't solve the problem.
2) remember last scrolled position and set it back.
public void onSuccess(List<> result) {
int top = grid.getView().getScroller().getScrollTop();
int left = grid.getView().getScroller().getScrollLeft();
grid.getView().getScroller().scrollTo("top", top);
grid.getView().getScroller().scrollTo("left", left);
this somewhat solved the problem, but it causes a flash when grid scrolls back to position. My grid contains cells and headers with different colors, so this flash became very annoying with colors flying back and forth every data change. So this solution isn't good enough.
Has anyone encounter this problem before? I am running out of ideas, please give me some hint on how to fix this. Thanks.
9 Apr 2012 1:32 PM #2
I believe I found a solution. The code that cause the scroll problem is not just scrollToTop. GridView.refresh is also causing the problem.
refresh() does a mainBody.setInnerHtml(renderRows(0, -1)); and this clears the grid which causing grid to scroll back to (0, 0) after new data is added.
I avoid refresh() by using grid.getStore().update()
public void onSuccess(List<M> result) {
sumPnL = 0d;
int top = grid.getView().getScroller().getScrollTop();
int left = grid.getView().getScroller().getScrollLeft();
System.out.println("store size: "+grid.getStore().getCount());
if (grid.getStore().getCount() < 1) {
} else {
for (M m : result) {
I override GridView scrollToTop() and made it do nothing,
I also override ListStore method findModel() and update() to get this to work. So far this solution worked, I will post if there are further problems. Hope this will help anyone with similar problem.
9 Apr 2012 2:33 PM #3
The solution mentioned above caused another problem, when grid is large (>3700 cells), speed is slow. When I use update on every row, it caused user to lost focus of the app for a long period of time...
