custom layout issue - header height
I've created custom container layout (it's basically gridbag layout from java compiled to javascript). My layout needs to take into account height of docked items at top/bottom of panel, typically panel header. For some reason, header height is calculated only after it's width is set. This leads to layout failure in some cases.
As a temporary fix, I'm setting header width to some large constant number. Layout calculation doesn't get stuck then and it also considerably reduces layout cycles and therefore makes layout calculation faster. But diag.js gives me warnings - [W] BAD! P1_header.width set by P1<dock> and P1<ux.gridbag>.
My question is : why does header need to know it's width to calculate
it's height? It should need it, because "text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden" styles ensure, that header text
will always be single line and fit into header box.
Thanks in advance,

The layout doesn't interrogate the css at all, you may need to give the header a hint by specifying the shrinkWrap config on the component. Check out the comments in AbstractComponent.Evan Trimboli

That said, from the sounds of things it appears that your layout may be not marking itself as unfinished (this.done = false) when values it needs aren't available. Either that or you are attempting to shrinkWrap width and something else isn't connecting properly.
Can you post the code of your custom layout? Simply setting noWrap may help in this test case, but it is hard to tell if it will be correct in general (so perhaps other use cases may still fail).
In general, to get a container layout spot-on, you need to be able to properly describe the way it will handle sizing of its items (getItemSizePolicy) and then make sure you handle you own size model combinations correctly as you calculate. It is an easy mistake to make thinking that the container layout is always in charge of sizing when in fact, it may depend on values from "outside" itself (configuration and/or ownerLayout).Don Griffin

Let me explain a few more details.
I've compiled http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs...BagLayout.html using GWT/gwt-exporter to javascript. Swing layout managers such as GridBagLayout need to know preferred size of child items. Preferred size of labels, form fields etc. is simply their natural size, for containers it is calculated recursively by layout algorithm.
For containers, my layout returns following item sizing policy {readsWidth: 0, readsHeight: 0, setsWidth: 1, setsHeight:1}, isItemShrinkWrap returns false. That means, that sizing policy of containers is calculated/calculated.
Here is simple example, where layout calculation succeeds.
var l1 = {xtype:'label', text:'LLL1', layoutConstraints:{gridx:0, gridy:0}}; var p1 = {id:'p1', title:'P1', layout:'ux.gridbag', layoutConstraints:{gridx:0, gridy:0}, items:[l1]}; var pmain = {id:'main', title: 'Main', layout:'ux.gridbag', items:[p1]}; Ext.create('Ext.Viewport', {id : 'es-mainviewport', layout : 'fit', items:[pmain]});
If I add one more level of nesting, layout calculation fails.
var l1 = {xtype:'label', text:'LLL1', layoutConstraints:{gridx:0, gridy:0}}; var p1 = {id:'p1', title:'P1', layout:'ux.gridbag', layoutConstraints:{gridx:0, gridy:0}, items:[l1]}; var p2 = {id:'p2', title:'P2', layout:'ux.gridbag', layoutConstraints:{gridx:0, gridy:0}, items:[p1]}; var pmain = {id:'main', title: 'Main', layout:'ux.gridbag', items:[p2]}; Ext.create('Ext.Viewport', {id : 'es-mainviewport', layout : 'fit', items:[pmain]});
Can I (or should I) set some attributes to panel header to indicate, that it's height doesn't depend on it's content?
I could solve this problem by separating width and height calculation in gridbag layout. But I would like to avoid doing that, because it shouldn't be necessary. In future, I may need to add another swing layout, in which separation of width and height calculation is not possible (for example http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs...lowLayout.html ) .
I've encountered another problem with form fields. Item sizing policy for fields is {readsWidth: 1, readsHeight: 1, setsWidth: 1, setsHeight:1}, isItemShrinkWrap returns false. Sizing policy of fields is then calculatedFromNatural/calculatedFromNatural.
var f1 = {id:'f1', xtype:'textfield', layoutConstraints:{gridx:0, gridy:0, pref_size:{width:300}}}; var f2 = {id:'f2', xtype:'combo', layoutConstraints:{gridx:0, gridy:1, pref_size:{width:300}}}; var pmain = {id:'main', title: 'Main', layout:'ux.gridbag', items:[f1, f2]}; Ext.create('Ext.Viewport', {id : 'es-mainviewport', layout : 'fit', items:[pmain]});

What you are describing is similar in behavior to a Box layout (hbox and vbox) when "align" is set to "stretchmax". In fact, this is one of the most complex maneuvers in the layout system.
The key thing is that your layout both reads and writes the size of the children. You probably fully understand the write you need to do, but the read is when you request the component's "preferred size", which we would call its "shrinkWrap" size.
If the layout is going to calculate the size of a component, we do not waste time determining this value (it isn't free). The way you have this structured in your description, your layout is indicating that it will be calculating the size and that is the whole story.
I believe what you need to do is:
PHP Code:
isItemShrinkWrap: function (item) {
return true; // otherwise, width shrinkWrap will usually be disabled
_sizePolicy: {
readsWidth: 1,
readsHeight: 1,
setsWidth: 1,
setsHeight: 1
getItemSizePolicy: function (item) {
// unless items have some config options that influence this, you can
// just ignore the passed item.
return this._sizePolicy; // important - cache this :)
Again, this is 2-step process is most tricky. I highly recommend you study the Box layout and its calculateStretchMax method.
To be of much more help, you'll probably need to post the layout class as you have it.Don Griffin

Eastwood Powdercoating System - Slick CoatWritten by on April 1, 2010 Eastwood Takes Powdercoating To Your Own Garage At A Price You Can Afford.
Whether the object is to restore a classic muscle machine, or build that special race car of your dreams, cleaning and refinishing tired parts is almost always a major portion of the project. There are several choices in how to approach such refinishing chores, from the quick and simple spray-bomb gloss-over, to having the item professionally restored. For most of us on a workingman's budget, any work that can be done at home represents money saved, in addition to the satisfaction of accomplishing the project with your own two hands. Typically, parts refinished at home will be done with paint, be it the above mentioned spray cans, or spraying the finish with a compressor and the required paint guns.
While just about anyone can easily get set up to apply paint, powdercoating is generally thought of as a process reserved for a professional shop. Powdercoating results in a beautiful finish with the gloss and clarity of a good paintjob, however, where this process really shines is in the qualities of longevity and durability. A powdercoated finish will last far longer than a typical paint finish, retaining its gloss and color without fading, and with far more resistance to abrasion, chipping, and chemical damage. This all makes powdercoating a fine choice for any metal component where long-lasting protection and good looks are the goal.
While professional powdercoating is affordable enough to consider, unless the neighborhood shop is just around the corner, it can be a major inconvenience to send in every little item as it comes up in the course of a project. This is where it can be tempting to just pick up a spray bomb off the shelf and compromise. Consider instead just picking your own powdercoating rig off the shelf, and applying a powdercoated finish that will last for years. Eastwood's Dual-Voltage Powder Coating System (PN 11676, $169.99) allows just that, putting professional-level powdercoating ability in the hands of the do-it-yourself enthusiast.
We recently acquired one of these Eastwood units and decided to give powdercoating a try. While the process is definitely more involved than simple painting, the equipment proved to be very easy to use and effective. In fact, with the long-lasting durability of powdercoating at our disposal, we now reach for the Eastwood equipment whenever working on a part that wewould rather never have to refinish again. A recent example was a pair of vintage, out-of-production Mickey Thompson valve covers. We applied a powdercoated finish in high-gloss black in little more than an hour, and we can confidently bolt them on knowing the finish will look great for years to come.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Parts that will be powdercoated will need to be masked where the powdercoating is not wanted. We masked the bottom of the valve covers and the breather hole to keep the coating on the outside. High temperature tape can be purchased through Eastwood for parts that require the masking be retained during curing, though we just masked with ordinary tape and carefully removed the tape once the powder was applied.The powdercoating gun comes with a cup that holds the colored powder. The cup should be filled with no more than 1 to 2 inches of powder. The powder goes a long way, with 1/2 pound covering 10-20 square feet depending upon application. We selected the gloss black for this job. The cost for powder varies between $9 to just over $20 for an 8-ounce container (shown), and larger bulk quantities can be purchased at a discount.The powdercoating gun works at a very low air pressure and volume, generally requiring just 5-10 psi. We hung the parts with conductive steel wire and carefully applied the powder.A remote trigger to the power supply must be activated while the powder is applied, sending the voltage to the part being coated, which creates a charge attracting the powder particles.Here, we have a detailed view of the corner of our valve cover project prior to baking. Note how the powder is a perfectly distributed, even coat. Do not touch or disturb the surface until it is cured.Powdercoating is cured by heat, which melts the particles and allows the material to flow out over the part for a smooth finish. We cured our parts at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

There's no proof that the adage "enthusiasm is contagious" was first uttered after the speaker met Debbie Scoppechio – but there's no solid proof to the contrary, either.
The chairman/CEO of Creative Alliance is a walking, talking embodiment of energy, grit and inspiration who was once nicknamed "Hurricane Debbie" by a local publication, a moniker she more than earned. Since starting Creative Alliance 25 years ago, Scoppechio has also deserved several honors and accolades, including being named Top Kentucky Woman Business Owner of the Year, election to the Kentucky Business Hall of Fame as only the second female honoree and an entrepreneurial excellence award from Working Woman magazine.
"I absolutely cannot believe it's been 25 years," Scoppechio said during a recent interview at her office on Jefferson Street, which was partially shut down on Sept. 6 for a silver anniversary party that brought out hundreds of guests for a stellar performance by the Grammy-winning Pointer Sisters.
"It seems like only yesterday," continued the bunny-slippers-wearing CEO as she navigated a water bowl for her dog (canines are welcome at Creative Alliance). "Of course, when you look at every thing we've done, it's been a fun ride. We have a great team. I really get my energy off of them," she claimed, though her employees say the opposite occurs.
Regardless of where it comes from, the enthusiasm, tenacity, originality and creativity of Scoppechio and her team have become their brand as they strive to build the brands of their clients.
"We never give up. Ever. If we pitch somebody and we don't get them, we'll be back. … The secret to our success is we never say no," Scoppechio said. "When you're in this business, you're only as good as what you have today."

|In 1992, Casper resigned following an investigation of his theft of client funds. In 2001, Casper withdrew his first Petition for Reinstatement. In 2003, Casper filed a second Petition for Reinstatement that failed to report eight lawsuits, contained mistakes concerning his income, and included a personal statement showing no remorse for his wrongdoing. At Caspers reinstatement hearing, ODC presented evidence that since Caspers disbarment, he had been accused of bribery, sexual harassment, bankruptcy fraud, tax evasion, and making false statements. Casper presented weak character evidence and incredible testimony.

|Discipline Imposed
|Reinstatement from disbarment denied.
|Points of Law
|As a disbarred attorney, Petitioner bears a heavy burden to prove that he is qualified for readmission . Disciplinary Board found that the record was devoid of any compelling evidence to demonstrate that Petitioner has rehabilitated himself and was fit to practice law. At his reinstatement proceeding: Petitioner demonstrated no accountability for his current or past misconduct; misled his character witnesses as to his own wrongdoing; submitted a flawed reinstatement petition that omitted critical information; and presented testimony that highlighted [] his lack of candor. The Board concluded that Petitioners reinstatement would undermine the administration of justice and the public interest.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- Pianist Jonathan Gonder, dean of SUNY Geneseo's School of the Arts, will join the Geneseo Symphony Orchestra for a concert Feb. 20, featuring two venerable "chestnuts" from the 19th century Romantic repertoire. James Walker, SUNY distinguished service professor music, will conduct the orchestra. The concert begins at 3 p.m. in Wadsworth Auditorium and is open to the public without charge.
Included on the program will be Franz Liszt's 1st Piano Concerto in E-flat and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 in E minor.
"These are two of the best 'chestnuts' in the Romantic repertoire, works that are so well known that they have become perennial favorites," said Walker. "The nice thing is that for students, these works are brand new. We hope they become as user-friendly to them as they are to us. These are marvelous pieces and the students are really responding to them as we approach the concert."
Gonder was named the college's first dean of the School of the Arts in 2008. He received his doctorate of musical arts in piano performance at the University of Michigan, where he studied with renowned pianist Gyorgy Sandor. He has received numerous awards and prizes in his career while participating in international, national, provincial and regional music competitions.
The Geneseo Symphony Orchestra, now 90 members strong, is a collaboration between the best wind, percussion and string players in the SUNY Geneseo student body and members of the music faculty who coach and perform in the ensemble. The result is the performance of some of the finest literature written for a large orchestra.
For more information on the concert, call 585-245-5824.

One of my physics books has a nice example on how to use Gauss's Law to find the electric field of a long (infinite) charged wire. However, at the very end of the example, the author ends by saying Gauss's Law cannot be used to find the electric field of finite-length charged wire. I could not understand why not.
Please this is not a homework problem or nothing like that. This is just a question I have and I have not being able to solve it in my mind yet.

Description And Comments
The Royal Hall in Fantasy Faire is where little ones can meet princesses. The usual Disneyland queue must be endured to meet and be photographed with the duty princess in Royal Hall.
While the line may not look daunting, the waits can in fact be some of the longest in the park, with the line regularly reaching 45-60 minutes during the peak of the day.
Touring Tips
If you're intent on visiting, be sure to find out the exact opening time in the Times Guide, and show up at least 15 minutes beforehand. If you cannot make it first thing and are willing to wait, note that royal ladies don't stay out late even when the park is open late: check the Times Guide to see when The Royal Hall closes.
The cast of princesses rotates during the day and has no set line-up, so you do not know who you'll see when you get in line. The princesses that are usually in the rotation include Ariel (in human form), Cinderella, and Aurora.
Also note that Belle, Rapunzel, and Flynn Rider meet with guests after their Beauty and the Beast and Tangled shows nearby at The Royal Theatre.
The Royal Hall Wait Times
This chart shows you roughly how long you'll wait for The Royal Hall when you visit on a day with a given Disneyland Crowd Level. The blue bars represent the average "peak" wait time (that is, how long the line will at its busiest). The bottom and top black lines represent the range of peak wait times to expect (for you fellow nerds out there: it's the 5th percentile and 95th percentile of peak wait times). Please note that these are estimates, and for a better forecast for your travel dates, see The Royal Hall Wait Times.

Another Great Movie...
Abso posi lutely.
If you don't have a kid, borrow one. Maybe three.
Watch this movie.
Eat something.
Watch it again.
Woo hoo!
"Am I not sweet?" Seen this a dozen times and never get over that fairy saying that.
Long has the Princess Leia Gold Bikini been the object of nerd-dom's fantasy, and I admit that it has its charms. Yet I have always held the belief that Lili's/Mia Sara's black outfit would far outstrip the GB in terms of sheer hawtness.

WHEELING - West Virginia gamblers and taxpayers subsidized greyhound and thoroughbred breeders with at least $92 million during fiscal year 2012, according to the state Lottery Commission.
"Some legislators are more interested in protecting the interests of horse and dog owners than they are in protecting West Virginia workers," said Jim Simms, outgoing president and general manager of Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack, who has accepted another job but will maintain oversight of the track until a replacement is named.
"Maybe it is time to take a hard look at the tens of millions of dollars that are flowing to out-of-state breeders - and instead, focus on keeping jobs in West Virginia," he added.

BREEDING — The West Virginia Lottery directed at least $92 million to greyhound and thoroughbred breeders during fiscal year 2012. A state Senate bill would have taken $3 million of this to help reduce fees for table gambling at Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack and other tracks throughout the state, but the bill was amended. -- Casey Junkins
Simms insists his company may not renew its table gambling license in July if the $2.5 million annual fee is not reduced because the Wheeling facility is on pace to run its tables at a $1 million operating loss in 2013. He said the track has 105 employees whose jobs are directly tied to table gambling.
West Virginia Senate Bill 615 - introduced by Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Glen Dale - would reduce the annual table gambling fee for all Mountain State casinos to $1.5 million.
The $2.5 million annual fee that each of the four tracks currently pays provides $10 million for senior citizen services throughout West Virginia. Kessler's original bill - which would have reduced the amount collected from the fees to $7 million - would have covered the gap by diverting $3 million from the purse funds that go to thoroughbred and greyhound breeders.
However, an amendment by Sen. Herb Snyder, D-Shenandoah Junction, now means the bill will replace the lost senior citizen funding by taking it from subsidies to help purchase new slot machines instead of the breeders' funds.
Currently, tracks can receive reimbursements from the state for the purchase of new slot machines in the amount of $1 for every $2 worth of machines.
This amended bill would reduce this reimbursement to 50 cents for every $2 worth of slot machines, making new machines more expensive for Wheeling Island and other tracks.
"This will not help us in any way. It is net neutral to us," said Simms. "As this bill now stands, in simple terms, gaming is now subsidizing racing in West Virginia. That is a fact."
Currently, the Wheeling Island casino and the Mardi Gras West Virginia Casino & Hotel (formerly Tri-State Racetrack) near Charleston offer greyhound racing, while Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort in Chester and the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle showcase thoroughbred horses.
Some estimate the Lottery Commission gave as much as $106 million to greyhound and thoroughbred breeders in fiscal 2012, but spokesman Randy Burnside confirmed the $92 million figure, broken down as follows:
$9.1 million to the Thoroughbred Breeder Development Fund;
$5.9 million to the Greyhound Breeder Development Fund;
$56.9 million to purse funds for thoroughbreds; and
$20.1 million to purse funds for greyhounds.
Money for greyhounds and thoroughbreds is drawn from tax proceeds on the slot machines and table games at all four tracks.
The funding would not exist if gamblers did not play slots, poker, blackjack, roulette or other games.
According to the West Virginia Racing Association, the amount distributed from the breeders' funds is equal to what is paid to the breeders through the purse funds.
This amount depends upon how well a particular animal performs in a certain race. For example, a greyhound breeder who wins $1,000 in a race at Wheeling Island would also receive an additional $1,000 through the Greyhound Fund.
Records show some individual breeders collected amounts in excess of $400,000 in fiscal year 2012.
These amounts are somewhat down from fiscal year 2007, when one breeder got $706,571.
Lynette Maselli, Kessler's spokeswoman, said there was no movement on SB 615 Monday, but said it could still make it out of the Senate by Wednesday.
The legislative session ends April 13, but bills must be out of their chambers of origin by Wednesday.
A version of the bill must pass in both the Senate and the House of Delegates by the end of the session to reach Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's desk for his signature.

Louisville-Michigan: Just Enjoy
By now your NCAA tournament bracket is busted, but who are you kidding? It was busted weeks ago. It was busted before you turned it in, because you picked that team that you shouldn't have picked—the one with That Coach and That Guy—and they were vaporized before they got their sweats off. You lost in the pool to the boss and the boss's boss, six interns, a duck, a squirrel and a toaster oven. You are the butt of office jokes and you swear you will never fill out another bracket again. But you will. It's hopeless.
And don't say you won't watch Monday night's NCAA men's tournament final, because you will watch. What else do you have going on? "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"? "Lincoln" on pay-per-view? Conversation with loved ones and family? Come on. This final has Michigan. Louisville. Not bad, right? Both former champions, ranked No. 1 at times this season. But neither has been to this game in a while. Louisville not since 1986, with Never Nervous Pervis Ellison. Michigan not since 1993 with the Fab Five, which kinda sorta didn't happen because that season got vacated, but you try to forget those guys, who were so magnetic they made everyone forget Michigan actually won the thing in 1989. OK, there isn't a Cinderella in the final—sorry FGCU didn't helicopter-dunk its way to Atlanta—but it's pretty good. Coaches Rick Pitino and John Beilein. Rising stars like Luke Hancock. Russ Smith. Trey Burke. Mitch McGary. Mitch McGary. Now that's a great name. That's the name of a guy who will let you borrow a saw.
You will watch Monday's final even though some of that basketball in Saturday night's semifinal was pretty tough to watch. Here's the thing about college basketball: You are inclined to enjoy it because it's college basketball, all youthful enthusiasm and pompoms and joy. But the actual games can be arduous. The last minute of the Michigan-Syracuse game took longer than it takes to drive from Michigan to Syracuse. And Michigan seemed determined to fork the game over to Syracuse. It was like watching a grandmother try to give an extra piece of pie. You sure you don't want this game, Syracuse? Here, have this game. I want you to have this game. Syracuse! Please, take this game. You don't want this game? Syracuse did not want the game. The Wolverines won, but shakily.
Louisville escaped, too. Its opponent, nine-seed/auxiliary Cinderella Wichita State, led at the half and for parts of the second. But the game could never shake a certain feeling of inevitability, a sense that Louisville was indeed the better team and would eventually make this fact known. Plus the Shockers were messing with the emotional narrative, which was the genuinely inspiring presence of Louisville guard Kevin Ware, who'd terribly injured his leg the previous weekend playing in a quarterfinal versus Duke. There was Ware, courtside in his uniform, leg propped on a chair. It was hard to not be moved by this. How did Wichita's underdog saga have any chance?
You will watch Monday night's final even though there were some dodgy calls at the end of those Saturday games. Syracuse got hit with an offensive foul call in the final minute, down just two points. Now there are people who believe it was an honest-to-goodness charge and people who believe it was not a charge, arguing that the Michigan defender was not set, and the proper call would have been a block, sending the Orange to the line with a chance to tie. It was not the worst whistle or the best whistle ever—it was simply not clear. What is clear is that referees truly enjoy calling the offensive foul—it's a showy call, with a flashy arm maneuver that looks like a dinner theater actor pointing the way to the restroom. Perhaps the solution to the pervasiveness of offensive foul calls is to make it less exciting to call. If a referee only got to slightly rub his or her temples, would ringing up a charge lose its appeal?
It was not the only iffy whistle. There was also the jump-ball call at the end of the Wichita State-Louisville game that seemed awfully quick. And here a jump ball would have been all right, but in NCAA basketball there's no such thing as a jump ball after a jump-ball call—it's a possession arrow, which in this case pointed in Louisville's direction. So instead of Wichita getting a shot at a buzzer-beating three pointer, Louisville got the ball back. It felt like a bummer, a balloon cruelly popped.
Of course it had already been a bit of a bummer week for college sports in general, what with the self-inflicted trouble at Rutgers and the brewing situation surrounding a former national-title football program at Auburn. It takes a bit of detachment—and perhaps the volume totally off—to properly enjoy college sports these days. Billions upon billions are being spent for these productions, and a mess always seems a step behind, and the hypocrisies and inequalities are abundant. It is not a pure stage. Sometimes it feels they call it the Final Four because Unpaid Pro Basketball Semifinals doesn't fit neatly on a T-shirt.
But you can block it out for 40 minutes, yes? The Final Four is a wacky endeavor, played in a mega football dome, because it loves to suggest a cartoonish sense of scale, a sense that all eyes are on it. Tonight the eyes are for Michigan. Louisville. Pitino gesticulating wildly in a suit. Lot of Wolverine timeout jokes. "One Shining Moment." OK, "One Shining Moment" is a little scary. But relax. It'll be fun. You have lost the office pool. Just enjoy. The hangover of college sports will be waiting in the morning.

so far we are facing the exact same behaviour. everything works in the browser, but a white screen only... (at least we are not alone)
14 Nov 2012 10:28 AM #22
Hello Sencha guys?
Seems we all have similar problems.
My index.html is the one that Sencha Architect automatically generates - except I put in the 'phonegap.js' include above all other includes. This is how I have done it across 10 versions of my app using PhoneGap Build... now my development has been completely halted after upgrading to ST2.1.
Sencha guys, any help here? This has been enormously time consuming..
14 Nov 2012 11:51 AM #23
Thread was moved
Oh great - I posted this thread in 'Bugs' and it appears to have been moved to 'Q&A' without letting me know..
14 Nov 2012 12:40 PM #24
PhoneGap Build not functioning with ST2.1
Our environment: ST2.0.1, Sencha Architect, PhoneGap Build ('PGB'). As per PGB's documentation, only 1 extra line is added to the index.html that Architect automatically generates:
<script src="phonegap.js"></script>
ST2.1 is released; we use Sencha Architect to automatically upgrade our app to ST2.1. Our app continues to work within a browser such as Chrome, but now PGB produces a dead (white screen) build.
We can get past the white screen if and only if we remove the phonegap.js include in index.html, which is required as per PGB's documentation. Reverting to ST2.0.1 solves the issue, even though the index.html generated by Sencha Architect is identical.
Help please - there are Google Groups convos and other threads about this same issue, it is blocking a lot of people.
Unless I'm mistaken, my original post in the Bugs forum was moved to Q&A without me being notified: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre....0.1-to-ST-2.1.
Many people are having this same issue, so I'm not sure what the deal with this move is - unless I posted it in the wrong forum to begin with. :P
15 Nov 2012 12:26 AM #25
Any news about this problem?
15 Nov 2012 5:21 AM #26
Hey there, we have exactly the same problem... Worked everything well with sencha and phonegap so far, since upgrading to ST 2.1 we have just a blank screen..
Any help on this would be highly appreciated!
15 Nov 2012 5:25 AM #27
We're waiting ...
Ps, anyone else's email notifications no longer working on this forum?

I'm looking to buy the R1 pano head to use with my nikon D3s and nikkor 10.5,
if anybody have the same equipment can you please give me the best setup values for it
I'm looking to buy the R1 pano head to use with my nikon D3s and nikkor 10.5,
if anybody have the same equipment can you please give me the best setup values for it
The values are more for the lens and not the camera.
Here are the settings:
Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 DX
3 shots around (shaved lens on full frame sensor)
Tilt angle NPP value
+5° 1.45
0° 2.00
-2.5° 2.30
Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 DX
4 shots around (shaved lens on full frame sensor)
Tilt angle NPP value
+5° 1.10
0° 1.85
-2.5° 2.05
Thank you Bill for your really quick answer ,
but I didn't aspect so many numbers :-)
so please if you can explain the values you gave me,
+7.5° suppose it means up to the zenith
1.45 is it the distance to reach the non paralax point
why the diference between the NPP values with 3 and 4 shots?
one more question the values you gave me are in cm I suppose
Be aware you use a different angle of view. You have to test the setting yourself anyway. For D3 Sigma 8mm/f3.5 I found settings which sometimes correspond with those of Nick, and sometimes with the data from somebody else. I would first check 0° for NPP.
You have to shave your lens:
I would go for 4 shots cause you are " a little bit more away from the corners", concerning a lot of "lens problems" and sharpness. Remember, you have to tape the focus before mounting the lens to the ring. And then you are fixed.
Knowing your NPP for 0° and +5°, I would start with a comparison with 0° for 3 and 4 shots and stitch them. You can compare the sharpness , etc., plus you will see the zenith hole.
If you find problems setting the camera body to +5° or you might find problems with the remote control, send me a hint, I think I know a way around. But I do not have a 10.5 to test this.
Success, and feel welcome
when there is no data you do not have to use the 7,5°. 1.45 is to reach the the NPP for 5°. When FOV in +5° position covers the zenith hole, you just take your shots at +5°, you do not have to take a zenith shot. But you have a bigger hole for the nadir.
You just have to test this and take your own decision.
Yes it is in cm.
You can mark the NPP of 0° on the lens, go to 5° and move forward to the rotating point. See the difference for the Sigma.
Wow,after you few posts my knowledge about increases dramatically :-)
Now what I can see for VR photography the same 3-4 lenses are the favorite:
Nikkor 10.5 mm
Tokina 10-17 mm
Sigma 8mm
Sigma 10mm
I have the nikkor 16mm and am shooting 6 shots arround +Z+N,
but I decided for wider fisheye lens , is it worth ?
What lens do you suggest me in combination with the FF ( nikon D3)
Thank you for your wide explanations
depends on what we want. I use the Sigma 8mm/f3.5 with the R1, the Nikkor 16mm/f2.8 with the NN5. If your are looking for pole panoramas in crowded places for journalism, a wider lens will be helpful.
I will send you some information from my database at home this evening. Sigma 10-20mm is also one of the favorites.
I'm looking more at real estate interiors and landscapes (nature), so the primary object for me is quality (here the 16mm works ) but also looking for action VR and sequence shots panos ,with a 10 mm and 170 degrees field view you have more possibilities,
I have also the Nikkor 14-24 but I dont use it very often , for interiors I go for HDR and with more than 8 shots that's a lot of work
that's because the sigma 10-20 don't interests me so much,
journalism panoramas that's not a primary object
thank you Heinz
Here is quick time object movie (.mov) that show how the rail settings change slightly with the tilting of a lens:
special thanks to Frank van Dam
do you have a shaped Nikkor 10.5 mm to use on your D3x?
May be you used a sigma 8mm as well, do you personally think the the nikkor 10,5 would be the better choice?
Thx in advance,
The 10.5 Nikkor is certainly superior to the 8mm Sigma. It's also good if doing work for print.
http://www.dpreview.com/lens reviews/tamron_10-24_3p5-5p6_n15/
My conclusion of what I have read, my experience with Sigma 8mm/f3.5, and all this versus Nikkor 10.5, Bill's comment and experience with his D3x, you have a much better sharpness for the Nikkor lens compared to the Sigma.
Might be you go for a shaped Nikkor 10,5 DX lens, shoot bracketing 3 or 5 in "CL" mode, with a sandisk 60mb/sec or the new sandisk pro with 90mb/sec this will be a quick job for you. Indoors right now my favorite is the NN5.
Might be, right now you have a problem .
Even with a 16mm/f2.8, six shots around, bracketing 7 in Cl or even in CH mode, zenith and nadir, Bill won't be ready with his steak for us on the barbecue, not even in "raw mode".
If you like, I will send you a .mov with a sigma lens. When you have the "situation", HDRI, High Resolution, the 14-24mm/f2.8 at zoom 16 or the 50mm/f1.4 might be a good solution for you. But, "this will ask the time for a good steak from Bill".
But the buffer from your D3s and a very quick CF card will help you to be ready before Bill has got his steak, even in "Raw Mode". So take your time, and then afterwards, "enjoy the steaks and a nice evening".
- Besides these jokes believe we are quite serious -

I have been looking around SO for a while and haven't been able to find anything that matches my issue, which I'm not even sure I can explain that well, so take that for what it's worth.
I have a page that loads content into a div via AJAX (using the .load() method). There are several links in the navigation, meaning the content will change while navigating the site without refreshing the entire page.
(Actually, to be honest, I just cribbed the DocTemplate layout [http://css-tricks.com/examples/DocTemplate/] from css-tricks.com. Apparently while I'm not a re-invent the wheel type programmer, I am a bash my head against the wheel incessantly to get it to work programmer.)
So, index.php loads up some DB content in a div. There is also a jQuery UI modal input form on index.php. Essentially, the only HTML on the page is an empty div and a form. This all works fine, until I call up another page, then go back to index.php. The DB content is not loaded, and my form is shown there in all its naked glory. I know why this is happening. The page was not refreshed, nothing kicked off the code to load the content and hide the form.
My question is, how can I ensure that the AJAX .load() and the .dialog() will run when loading index.php again? Is it even possible?
Thanks, and my apologies for the length. I get verbose when I'm confused.

My girlfriend really likes old school NES games, and she has a DS. I figured the best way to get her games would be to install a NES emulator like NESDS on her DS. Having no experience with this, I googled for instructions, but they are a little beyond my understanding. I didn't think there was a way to 'upload' executables or files to the DS, but maybe I'm wrong.
Essentially, how do I get NESDS onto a DS system? Secondly, how do I get ROMs onto the system as well (I assume the same way).

I now almost never use water, and the phrase "opening up" is a complete mystery to me.

Let $F$ be a field and $h \in F[x]$ be an irreducible, degree $n$ monic polynomial. Let $G$ denote the Galois group of $h$.
It is well known that $G \subset A_n $ if and only if the discriminant of $h$, which we'll denote by $D(h)$, is a square in $F$. We could think of this as being a rationality condition: we are demanding an $F-$rational solution to the equation $y^2 = D(h)$.
My question is if this is always possible for any subgroup $H \subset Sym(n)$. That is, does there exist a polynomial $f\in F[a_0,\ldots,a_{n-1}]$ in the coefficients of $h$ and a polynomial $\phi \in F(y) $ such that $G \subset H$ only if $\phi(y) = f$ has a solution in $F$? Is it possible to make this a sufficient condition also? (I suspect that the answer is yes to the former and no to the latter).
Further, if such a $\phi$ exists, can we control its degree? Is such a condition unique and if there are many, is there a simplest?

I've read a programming problem and then I wrote code for it. But I thought my algorithm was not working right, so I wrote another piece of code that it was not optimal but, I think, correct.
Now I have about 100 input and output data sets and I want to give this input to the both C++ programs and compare outputs. If there are differences in the outputs, I will find out if my code is not correct.
My problem is that there are too many test cases (about 100) and the outputs are big text files and I can't check them by myself. I wonder how I can do this with bash functions and commands?
My input text files are
input2.txt, etc.
My outputs text files are similar to inputs.
My programs are written in C++.

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder resulting from the neoplastic transformation of the primitive hematopoietic stem cell. The disease is monoclonal in origin, affecting myeloid, monocytic, erythroid, megakaryocytic, B-cell, and, sometimes, T-cell lineages. Bone marrow stromal cells are not involved.
CML accounts for 15% of all leukemias in adults. Approximately 5,430 new cases of CML were diagnosed in 2012, with an estimated 610 deaths. The age-adjusted incidence is 1.6 per 100,000 population. With imatinib (Gleevec) therapy, the annual mortality has been reduced significantly (less than 2% to 3% per year, and less after the first 2 to 3 years). This has resulted in an increase in prevalence from approximately 70,000 patients in the US in 2010 to a projected 144,000 in 2030.
FDA Approvals
In December 2012, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ponatinib (Iclusig) to treat CML. The trial that led to the approval, the PACE trial, was a phase II clinical trial that included patients with various phases of CML. All were treated with ponatinib. The data show that 54% of chronic-phase CML patients in the trial (including 70% percent of patients who have a T315I mutation) achieved a major cytogenetic response. In accelerated- and blast-phase CML, ponatinib's effectiveness was determined by the number of patients who experienced a major hematologic response. The data show that major hematologic response was observed in 58% of patients with accelerated-phase CML (57% of resistant/intolerant patients and 50% with T315I mutation), and 34% of those with blast-phase CML (35% of resistant/intolerant patients and 33% with T315I mutation). Other results show that 52% of patients with accelerated-phase CML experienced major hematologic response for a median duration of 9.5 months and 31% of patients with blast-phase CML achieved major hematologic response for a median duration of 4.7 months.
In October 2012, the FDA approved omacetaxine mepesuccinate (Synribo) for the treatment of adults with CML whose cancer has progressed following treatment with at least two tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The effectiveness of omacetaxine was evaluated from the combined data subsets of two phase II, open-label, multicenter studies that included patients with chronic- and accelerated-phase CML. In chronic-phase CML, a major cytogenetic response was seen in 18.4% of patients (14 out of 76), with a mean time of onset of 3.5 months. The median duration of response was 12.5 months (Kaplan-Meier estimate). In accelerated-phase CML, 14.3% of patients achieved major hematologic response (5 out of 35), with a mean time of onset of 2.3 months. The median duration of response was 4.7 months (Kaplan-Meier estimate).
In September 2012, the FDA approved the tyrosine kinase inhibitor bosutinib (Bosulif) to treat Philadelphia chromosome–positive CML. The drug is intended for patients with chronic-, accelerated-, or blast-phase CML who cannot tolerate or are resistant to other therapies (including imatinib). The trial that led to the approval of bosutinib was a single-arm clinical study that enrolled 546 adult patients. All participants were treated with bosutinib. Patients included in the trial had disease that progressed after treatment (with imatinib, dasatinib, or nilotinib) or were unable to tolerate the side effects of these therapies. Results showed 34% of patients with chronic-phase CML who had been previously treated with imatinib achieved a major cytogenetic response (MCyR) after 24 weeks; in all, 52.8% of patients who achieved MCyR at some point had their response last at least 18 months. In patients previously treated with imatinib followed by dasatinib and/or nilotinib, about 27% achieved MCyR within the first 24 weeks of treatment; of those, 51.4% had their MCyR last at least 9 months. In patients with accelerated-phase CML previously treated with at least imatinib, 33% had complete hematologic response and 55% achieved overall hematologic response within the first 48 weeks of treatment. Meanwhile, 15% and 28% of patients with blast-phase CML achieved complete hematologic response and overall hematologic response, respectively.
The male-to-female ratio is 1.1:1 to 1.4:1.
According to Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) and Medical Research Council (MRC) data, the median age of patients with CML is 66 years. However, most patients who are admitted to medical therapy studies are 50 to 60 years old (median: approximately 53 years). Patients in bone marrow transplantation (BMT) studies are usually younger (median age: approximately 40 years).
Etiology and Risk Factors
The cause of CML is unclear. Some associations with genetic and environmental factors have been reported, but in most cases no causative factors can be identified.
Genetic Factors
There is little evidence linking genetic factors to CML. Offspring of parents with CML do not have a higher incidence of CML than does the general population.
Environmental Factors
Nuclear and radiation exposures, including therapeutic radiation, have been associated with the development of CML. Exposure to chemicals has not been consistently associated with greater risk.
Signs and Symptoms
CML usually runs a biphasic or triphasic course. This process includes an initial chronic phase and a terminal blastic phase, which is preceded by an accelerated phase in 60% to 80% of patients.
Chronic Phase
If untreated or treated with drugs that do not significantly affect the Philadelphia-chromosome cells in the marrow, chronic-phase CML is associated with a median survival of 4 to 5 years. During the chronic phase, CML is asymptomatic in 25% to 60% of all cases; in such instances, the disease is usually discovered on a routine blood examination.
In symptomatic patients, the most common presenting signs and symptoms are fatigue, left upper quadrant pain or mass, weight loss, and palpable splenomegaly in 30% to 70% of patients. The liver is enlarged in 10% to 20% of cases. Occasionally, patients with very high white blood cell (WBC) counts especially in the advanced phases of the disease may have manifestations of hyperviscosity, including priapism, tinnitus, stupor, visual changes from retinal hemorrhage, and cerebrovascular accidents.
Patients in chronic-phase CML do not have an increased risk for infection.
Accelerated Phase
This is an ill-defined transitional phase. The criteria used to define accelerated phase in all the studies with interferon and tyrosine kinase inhibitors include the presence of any one of the following factors: blasts > 15%, blasts plus promyelocytes > 30%, basophils > 20%, platelets < 100 × 109/L unrelated to therapy or cytogenetic clonal evolution. Other classifications include more subjective criteria (Table 1) and have not been clinically validated. The classification used may affect the expected outcome for a group of patients defined as being in the accelerated phase. With imatinib therapy, the estimated 4-year survival rate exceeds 50%. The accelerated phase is more frequently symptomatic, and it includes the development of fever, night sweats, weight loss, and progressive splenomegaly.
Blastic Phase
The blastic phase morphologically resembles acute leukemia. Its diagnosis requires the presence of at least 30% blasts in the bone marrow or peripheral blood. The World Health Organization (WHO) has proposed the diagnosis of blast phase if there are at least 20% blasts, but this classification has not been validated, and recent evidence suggests that patients with 20% to 29% blasts have a significantly better prognosis than do those having at least 30% blasts. In some patients, the blastic phase is characterized by extramedullary deposits of leukemic cells, most frequently in the central nervous system (CNS), lymph nodes, skin, or bones.
Historically, patients in the blastic phase usually die within 3 to 6 months. Approximately 70% of blastic phase patients have a myeloid phenotype, 25% have a lymphoid phenotype, and 5% have an undifferentiated phenotype. Prognosis is slightly better for a lymphoid blastic phase than for myeloid or undifferentiated cases (median survival: 9 vs 3 months).
Patients in the blastic phase are more likely to experience symptoms, including weight loss, fever, night sweats, and bone pain. Symptoms of anemia, infectious complications, and bleeding are common. Subcutaneous nodules or hemorrhagic tender skin lesions, lymphadenopathy, and signs of CNS leukemia may also occur.

When shooting large group portraits, is there a trick to getting everyone to not blink (other than taking many shots)?
A couple other tips:
The trick I've heard is: have everyone close their eyes, and then open them on your command (and you then immediately take the photo). E.g., "Close your eyes.... now open them on 2. 1... 2... 3 [click]".
Caveat is that I haven't actually tried this, but it makes a lot of sense to me.
Academic research has been done on this, and it even won an Ig Nobel Prize!
The original article appears offline, but it's available via the Internet Archive, and in PDF form on another site.
Some people are very good at "TTL blinking" -- they blink when they see TTL metering preflash, and make that just in time to ruin the shot then the flash fires for real. You can prevent that by pre-metering flash exposure. On Canon DSLRs it's done via Flash Exposure Lock (FEL), which is another function of AE lock button.
All flashes cause people to blink. Because many TTL systems today use a preflash, manual flash is a great way to avoid blinkers that sync up with the preflash-mainflash delay.
And to add to other techniques people have posted to get it in one shot, shoot several shots in burst and blending is a very seamless and easy way to get an immaculate result.

[Barack Obama]
[Mitt Romney]
By TENNILLE TRACY and RYAN TRACY
The Wall Street Journal
WASHINGTON -- Energy-industry officials and environmental
groups are watching for change at the top in President Barack
Obama's second term, with Environmental Protection Agency
chief Lisa Jackson, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Energy
Secretary Steven Chu seen as possible candidates to step down.
Any new faces could have a big impact on some of the most
important issues affecting the US economy, including the rapid
growth of oil and gas production backed by new drilling
technologies and the decline of coal.
Mr. Salazar's spokesman said the secretary remains "focused
on the job." The White House declined to comment on who might
leave the Cabinet or when, and representatives of the EPA and
the Energy Department didn't return messages seeking
Washington lobbyists and Capitol Hill staff are already
circulating lists of possible candidates for the posts. The EPA
job is particularly critical, whether Ms. Jackson holds it,
because the agency must make decisions about regulating
greenhouse gases in the coming year that could effectively
block new coal-fired power plants.
Presidents typically shuffle their cabinets going into a
second term. The grueling workload and relatively low
government salaries often prompt some leaders to step
While there is no particular impetus for Ms. Jackson or
Messrs. Salazar and Chu to leave right away, all three have
shouldered considerable criticism from corporate executives,
industry lobbyists and Republicans on Capitol Hill.
Mr. Salazar, a former US senator from Colorado, was widely
criticized for issuing a temporary drilling ban after the 2010
Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mr. Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, absorbed flak for
supporting loan guarantees for bankrupt solar-panel maker
Perhaps the most popular target for Republicans is Ms.
Jackson. A former New Jersey environmental official, Ms. Jackson
has been accused by Republicans of expanding her agency's
authority and tackling climate change despite disagreement on
the issue on Capitol Hill.
"Some people just get worn out," said Jeff Holmstead, a
former EPA official and a partner at Bracewell & Giuliani.
"There are a number of perks that come with the job, but it is
a lot of hard work."
Mr. Obama's allies in the environmental community were
pleased with the selections of Mr. Chu and Ms. Jackson after
his election in 2008. If they step down, the president's picks
for successors could be an indication of whether he wishes to
lean more in the direction of industry or environmental groups interested in
global warming.
In a second term, "President Obama has an historic
opportunity to establish a legacy as the person who saved the
planet from climate change," said Daniel J. Weiss, director of
climate strategy at the Center for American Progress, a liberal
think tank.
The timing of any future departures is unclear. The White
House is likely to consider is the pace at which other cabinet
members leave, careful not to allow a mass exodus within the
first months of a second term.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has already said he
plans to leave his post, although he says he will remain until
a successor is confirmed.
It could also be difficult for Mr. Obama to steer new
candidates through the Senate's confirmation process. Hearings
on a new EPA chief could evolve into a referendum on climate
change, a polarizing topic among members of Congress.
Meanwhile, some of the earliest departures within EPA or the
Interior and Energy Departments could come from second-tier
political appointees or staff.

If Energy Secretary Steven Chu does resign, his position should be filled with Representative Paul Tonko from New York. He's a faithful Democrat, loyal to the Obama agenda, and a member of the Natural Resources Committee, where he serves on the Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee. Tonko earned an engineering degree from Union College and served as chairman of the New York State Assembly's Standing Committee on Energy prior to leaving the Assembly to become the president and CEO of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). While at NYSERDA, he worked to advance an aggressive green agenda for businesses and residents throughout New York State. He's probably the best person to head the Energy Department.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
