Excellet For ourCabin Review by DONALD
I purchased three originally for lighting around our mountain cabin. Mounting them on the cabin and pointing out to the forest. I was very pleased with the range, motion sensor and ease of mounting. They have performed well. I now have four more on backorder. Can't wait for them to be shipped. (Posted on 11/19/2014)

I purchased mine a few months ago to use on my front porch and it works excellent, One of the great features is that the light only comes on when it is dark out , which is nice especially if you are constantly going in and out of the house during the day. I highly recomend this light, in fact I am considering buying another one to be used on the rear door of my home. This is an A+ Item. (Posted on 10/21/2012)

Up to now, the light works great. Installed it inside porch to point to door in order to be able to insert key when opening door since area is very dark. the amount of light is awesome. Easy installation. I would purchase another one If needed. (Posted on 6/20/2012)

Bought 6 to put around the outside of the house for security. Most needed a day or two of sun to operate properly. All are mounted under the soffit for weather protection, none in direct sunlight. Most with about 15 - 20 foot range in the summer. Used for the past 6 months, all work well, would recomend. (Posted on 8/20/2011)

I usually don't like inexpensive solar lights--you get what you pay for most of the time. THIS LIGHT was a surprise. It is NOT a floodlight, but it easily illuminates a driveway entrance or something about that width. It is easy to set-up. Sensitive wide-range on sensor. Worth the money and more!

This light is wonderful. The light is really bright. I gave one to family in Dakar Senegal. They have frequent power outages. They love it. I think I posted this comment on the wrong product previously. (accent lights). Got it right this time. Great product for the money.

Purchased a few months back. Seperate solar panel allowed me to mount light by doorway where needed and mount solar panel on other side of house that gets more direct sun. Good amount of light. Sensitive sensor. The only maintenance I do is to brush the snow off the solar panel when it builds up. Works very well. Very satisfied. Shopped around and price can't be beat. May buy more.

Pretty good light for the price. I use it to light up my driveway along the side of my house. I was surprised by the amount of light it throws. The only thing is that I wish there was a switch on the light to leave it on from time to time instead of only being activated by motion. Other than that it was a good buy. (Posted on 11/12/2010)

The light works very well. I am very satisfied with its performance. I took a chance and bought two. For the price, you can't beat it! it's no 150W floodlight, but it truely gives off adequate lighting to see where you're walking at night. I have a 15W halogen solar motion detector light that cost twice the price and it doesn't perform as well as this 36 LED light. I followed the instructions and charged it in full sunlight for two days. Then, I mounted one of these units on my back fence almost 30 feet from my house. As soon as I step out into my backyard the 36 LEDs turn on. It's even portable enough that I can dismount it quickly and use it as a flashlight. Best of all, I don't have to pay for electricity or hassle with wiring. (Posted on 8/8/2010)

This is a very sensitive light, it goes off with the slightest movement. It gives off pretty good light for being a solar light. The extra long cord is very nice too. (Posted on 6/5/2010)

I'm a little skeptical of LED floodlights, but this unit worked out OK for me. All I needed was a simple security light for my small backyard, but I don't have the money to hire an electrician to wire up an outlet. The sensor is pretty sensitive, but as mentioned in an earlier review, the light beam is not exactly wide but a little focused, more like a spotlight. For backyard use, I'd suggest buying 2 or 3 units instead of just one. Also, if you park your car just outside of your garage, this would be a good inexpensive solution to cast a little light on driveway in front of the garage door. Please note that the picture shows the unit upside-down. From the looks of the pear-shaped mounting holes in the back, it was intended to be installed with the sensor below the light. (Posted on 5/20/2010)

I am very skeptical of "Solar Lights". Being an engineer, I needed a light in an area that I had no power access. This unit is FANTASTIC!, For the money its worth it. The unit is bright and the sensor has a wide range and is very sensitive. I recommend this product!
Beware, the light beam has a wide range, however, but bulk of the light is focused were you point it (such as a flashlight)
I have installed other units (B&H) solar units that DID NOT satisfy my need as this one.
I very seldome take the time to wright a review on a product, unless I beleive in it.

Matthew Sanders: The Atlantic is super-wrong for using 'fascist' label in Superman story
And so it's come to this? The Atlantic is equating someone for his belief in traditional, time-honored marriage with the 20th century's most heinous mass murderers?
Featured by The Atlantic's online editors as a top story, Noah Berlatsky's article labels Orson Scott Card and anyone who shares his belief and stance for traditional marriage as a bigot and a fascist. Berlatsky is a gay activist who writes about comics and culture and understandably advocates for his ideals and beliefs.
Berlatsky opposes DC Comic's decision to allow the award-winning, best-selling science fiction writer Orson Scott Card to write for their Superman franchise. But instead of using thoughtful argument, Berlatsky hurls labels: bigoted and fascist, equating Superman and Card with the KKK and fascists. Yet, shortly thereafter, Berlatsky suggests that Superman is "supergood" and would never hate gays like Card and his type.
Here's the problem and the danger with Berlatsky's approach and why it should be understood in a different frame. First, he grossly misuses the notion of fascism, while using some of its subtle tactics. Second, he twists the debate to turn Card's freedom to express belief and principles into the arch-enemy of good.
Misuse of "fascism"
Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Mao, Pol Pot and other fascists, communists and totalitarians spilled the blood of over 100 million people in the 20th century. In each case, they assumed total and complete power over their populations. They built fervor for their ideologies by segmenting their population with labels.
One can take issue with Card's beliefs and tact, but for The Atlantic to equate the fiction author's defense of his beliefs as fascism is absurd, and ironic. Absurd because Berlatsky attaches a sweeping label to supporters of traditional marriage as "anti-gay" and "homophobic," as though they wouldn't be for marriage if it weren't for their hate. Ironic because he actually mimics tactics used by real fascists like Il Duce, Mussolini — where in his famous motto he declared, "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State." It is hard to ignore such similarities when activists like Berlatsky label any beliefs or statements other than complete support for gay marriage as "hate speech" or "thought crimes."
His techniques aside, Berlatsky's cavalier use of the word and notion represents a lack of historical perspective and human sensitivity. I've seen the results of fascism at Yad Vashem, Jerusalem's heart-wrenching holocaust museum. I've been in the former Yugoslavia and in Albania where totalitarians chained their people's thoughts, beliefs and behaviors to a totalitarian regime. More recently, I've been involved in humanitarian aid efforts for Cambodia, where there remains a haunting lack of an older generation because they were exterminated by Pol Pot.
I also recall in a class at Harvard when someone used the word "fascist" to label someone else's comment. My Spanish classmate nearly came out of his chair to rebuff the individual for misusing the word, forcefully clarifying the difference between an economic policy position and the coercive living conditions in Franco's fascist Spain. He expressed it with passion and horror, giving guarded detail about the effect on his family and friends.
Such experiences left me committed to always use the words "fascist" or "Nazi" with great care.

Why in the case of Lo Matzti Libitcha Bisolen in Makkot does a husband only get Makkot and pay shouldn't he get Kasher Zamam and be killed just like what would have happened to his wife.

If you're referring to the Biblical case of "motzee shem ra": Deuteronomy 22:13--19; see Rabbi Kaplan's translation and notes, The Rambam explains (in Hilchos Na'ara Besula 3:6) that the case is in fact that the husband has two witnesses falsely testify against his wife; the witnesses are indeed "zamam"-ified and potentially executed.
The husband arranged for false witnesses but never took the stand as a witness himself. (He'd be disqualified as a relative anyhow.) Hence he can't be executed; only flogged and fined.
The Gemara points out that in any case where Person A hires Person B to do something evil (such as murder or being a false witness), it's Person B who takes most of the culpability. to paraphrase the Gemara, "I was just following orders" is nice, but he should have followed Divine orders before Person A's.

I was doing some gene expression analysis using this tool http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/summary.jsp. However, I have a confusion about what benjamini is. I fed it some gene list and it gave me some potential pathways the genes belong to(KEGG pathways). However, I have a confusion what this column called benjamini is. What does it denote? Any suggestions?
It is a Benjamini-Hochberg q-value, similar to a p-value corrected for multiple hypothesis testing using the false discovery rate.

I was just told that:
What you call a consensus isn't a consensus, but a majority.
He implied that it was not a consensus because a few disagreed with the decision made. From my understanding, consensus does not require unanimity. For example, when we talk about a scientific consensus, there might be a few dissenters, but not many.
Is that correct?

I had about 5-6 carriers against 20-25 stalkers, and my carriers went down too fast. I did take out most of his army, but he can regenerate it much faster.
So the Protoss army is surprisingly well equipped to deal with Stalkers, and if you're scouting early heavy Stalker play (eg he has only 2 Zealots, 4 gateways and maybe a Twilight Council), awesome, just massing any of these and you win. But what if you don't?
Its very easy to fall into the trap of:
I'm going to ignore better scouting for the moment (because there is no feasible upper limit on how much scouting you can do) and focus instead on:
Carriers have a Sight of 12 and an attack range of 8. This may feel kind of weak until you realize two truths: Carriers can attack while moving, Interceptors have a range of 14. Its these to advantages you're going to have to use to beat down the Stalkers. To do that you're going to need to engage (attack) and then quickly run away while your interceptors continue to engage. As the Stalkers engage your Interceptors your Carriers will move far out of range of the Stalkers, preventing easy focus fire. Don't forget to build more Interceptors as they tend to die. (You can even auto-cast building interceptors so you don't have to micro-manage this aspect.)
If the Stalkers attempt to engage the Carriers, your best tactic is to retreat over cliffs. While Stalkers can blink down cliffs easily, they cannot blink up cliffs unless they have sight. This is key, as your Carriers only provide sight of themselves while attacking, not of the ground under them. On a map like
Since you do need a vary large Stalker force to deal with Carriers, the longer you can delay him with the Carriers the more easily you can build up a decent force of Chargelots, or Immortals (or something deadlier). So your goal with your Carriers is to do as much damage away from your base as possible. I find the best way against most people is to attack at their main. If they don't have great scouting they will worry that your main is well defended and it'll keep them in their base, buying you time. Most mains have great places for Carrier micro, just look at the main on
Is there any explanation for this map other than Blizzard wanting you to be vulnerable to air? Put two Carriers on either side of his base and attack in turns. He'll ping pong his units back and forth. Even if he does split his forces you can just back off and attack his natural. By the time he has a solid defense against this you can easily be sitting on an Immortal/Void Ray army (I want you to think what this would do to Stalkers... especially after the recent Void Ray buff)
Problem 1, he has a bigger army than you. Even considering 6 carriers vs 20 stalkers, the stalkers cost more. If you went straight to carriers you teched too fast.
Second, Immortals rip apart stalkers unless they can abuse blink to get on the high ground. 1 Immortal per 3 stalkers should be plenty. The blink aspect can be partially negated by having an observer to give you vision. (unless they have detection as kill it)
Alternatively if you're going carrier then you're likely to be low on gas, so zealots with speed can also take out stalkers pretty well. If they don't blink micro then I think 3 zealots (with speed) can take on 4 stalkers (maybe 2/3 ratio also works) and zealots are cheaper than stalkers. The numbers go in the stalkers favor more the higher the number is though, so if we're talking 40 stalkers and 30 zealots I'm not so sure, but if it's 20 stalkers and 15 zealots I think the zealots come out on top if they're not good with the blinking away. So Zealots + a couple carriers should make short work of stalkers. say you cut out 2 carriers for 6 zealots, you could have a closer match. Realistically you should be able to get more than 6 zealots because you should have excess minerals making primarily carriers. If you don't have extra minerals you don't have enough probes.
Zealots on the ground will help a lot as will immortals, both of which have been noted by others. But what you really want are the upgrades. If you upgrade shields and armor, those carriers will be far tougher to kill and will fare much better against stalkers. Whenever I go for carriers, I always do my best to max out the shield and armor upgrades because it hardens them significantly against the masses of smaller ground units.
All-in-all, an equal cost army with a little diversity like this should do well in a head-on battle. There's a reason you rarely see pros massing a single unit.
Considering the larger picture, the difficulty with a large Stalker army will often come from its mobility, especially if your opponent has Blink. Try to force a head-on confrontation with your diverse force, perhaps by attacking a key base. If you let that Stalker ball have free reign of the map, it will harass you with hit and run attacks and pay for itself pretty quickly.

In a recent article discussing Senator Ted Cruz and his dual citizenship with Canada, AIC Executive Director Ben Johnson was quoted to verify whether or not dual citizenship would preclude Cruz from holding the Presidency.
"Ben Johnson, executive director of the American Immigration Council, said he wasn't aware of whether there are rules prohibiting a sitting president from having dual citizenship.
"I would think the optics would be more challenging," he said."

Erik must really love those batik-printed t-shirts (but every time different colours)
colours, easy,fast seach i like is startpage nice new picure to enjoy everyday. better then the old live.dead.link.com it become
I tried bing, set it as my default search provider when it came out. Switched back to google a few days ago. I really wanted it to be good, but the fact is that it just doesn't provide nearly as relevant search results for my usage.
It pained me to have to admit it, but using Bing for a few weeks I frequently had to go to google's home page to try my search terms again after Bing failed to provide anything relevant and it almost always produced better results so eventually I just had to admit that Bing, even though it may have a bunch of extra fancy stuff that google doesn't, simply doesn't stack up for plain old search so there was no point in making my life harder by not having google as the main search provider
If bing, which is beta, had a "these result suck" link that you could click to easily report crappy results I'm sure you could learn a lot.
Thank you for the candor. The Bing team appreciates any and all feedback. Just so you know, at the bottom right of the search results page there is a feedback link. When you click it, you're asked "Did we find what you were looking for? Yes | No". That will
provide the context for the Bing team to investigate why Bing didn't get your intention based on the supplied query terms.
good question by Charles regarding including a domain in the search text. Just as SQL has a semi natural language syntax, why not allow keywords in the search string? "full name John Doe and location Baltimore". "code FlowLayoutPanel and MenuStrip" returns
web pages with source code containing both text strings. Bing then has to be smart enough to guess what text on a web page contains source code and which does not. Rules for what is a keyword and what is text in the search string could be learned from user
to user with Bing showing how it parsed the search string. If the concern is mass market useability and casual users being confused by search string syntax, let me tell Bing what my useability level is, that I want to use keywords in the search text or not.
Another suggestion, let me tell Bing up front what I am trying to look for. A place to eat, recent news about Honduras, planning a vacation, looking for examples of how a win32 api is used. Remember what I was looking for in the past and give me a drop down box of these recent search categories.
Live Search used to do the daily picture, too.

This is a soft question on developing software to solve exam/contest problems.
Imagine the following scenario: You, as user, have (say) an IMO exam paper. You type one question at a time, perhaps in some machine-readable format, into a command-line interface like Matlab. A minute of thinking later, your program spits out the answer (and also the needed proof/derivation steps), and perhaps in 15 minutes, you have solved the entire paper with electronic assistance, but for which your score would have been 42/42. You also have the confidence that your answer has been checked and cross checked by your Silicon-powered friend. Further, suppose you were to show the output to an IMO judge, (s)he would have no hesitation in awarding a full score, except for the fact that it takes a little effort to read the "machine-like" format of the output.
A crude design would have Matlab (for computation) and Mizar (for logical reasoning) at the back-end, and if needed a natural language processing engine at the front end. Note that there are 2 big hurdles as I see it:
- The natural language engine would have to be very sophisticated to understand the subtleties of maths problems, expressed in English.
- Existing software like Matlab is probably better suited for problems fitting a template (say matrix inversion), but not much use for say, a functional equation to be solved by a clever trick. An examiner can always come up with a new "clever trick" beyond what the software designers have thought of.
Question: Is there one such tool in existence? Would anyone be interested if it's developed ? Any open-ended comments?
As an aside,this tool if developed may be applied to a wide variety of exams ( GRE, SAT, "Engineering entrance" exams in India) ; we may have a student and a computer taking the exam side by side to determine the strengths and weaknesses of such software.

I am writing a program in C that calculates this formula:
here is the line of code (I am just using + instead of the +-):
x = ((-1 * b) + (sqrt(pow(b, 2) - 4 * a * c)))/(4 * a);
I am not getting the correct root. For example if a = 1, b=-2, and c=-2 it SHOULD be 2.73. Instead I am getting 1.37.
Been staring at the code and I don't see the mistake. Can someone point it out for me?

Hiking Lion's Head under a full moon - Flickr pic of the day
This photograph was taken from Lion's Head by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. group member MartyCam.
MartyCam says, "I have always been told hiking Lion's Head under a full moon was a cool thing to do, but I never expected it to be as amazing as it was. It was one of those perfect wind-free nights, and it was like walking up Lion's Head under floodlights. The photos that came out were amazing.

Andrew Biggs: Are Public School Teachers Overpaid?
November 22, 2011
A new study employing a more complex comparison concludes that teachers earn one and a half what comparable professionals do, amounting to overcharging taxpayers approximately $120 billion a year. Andrew Biggs, a study coauthor and resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, joins the podcast to discuss his findings and respond to criticism against them from the American Federation of Teachers.

6 Depraved Sexual Fetishes That Are Older Than You Think
#3. Necrophilia - Fifth Century BC
There's no polite way to put this: Necrophilia is the fucking of dead bodies. Although considering the recent popularity of "vampire romance," having sex with a pale lifeless meatwad is apparently mainstream now.
Those nipples might as well be dollar signs.
Psychologists have theorized that there are a number of reasons why someone would be attracted to corpses, chief among them being the desire for a lifeless and unresisting partner (well, duh). But apparently the whole craze started the same way so many things start: with mummies.
Herodotus (the Greek historian who lived in the fifth century BC) wrote in his Histories that, in order to stop people from having sex with corpses before mummification, the ancient Egyptians left them to decay for three or four days before handing them off to the embalmers. That's right: Necrophilia was such a problem for these guys that they had to take active preventative measures against it.
But that's not all: One legend says that after killing his wife in jealousy, King Herod the Great continued to have sex with her body for, wait for it, seven years. Considering that this wasn't really the worst thing he ever did in his life, it's painfully apparent that his title of "The Great" might have been handed out a little early.
#2. Zoophilia - Older than Civilization
Zoophilia, also known as "bestiality," is the practice of having sex with an animal. While it isn't expressly illegal in most areas of the world, it also isn't officially condoned, the policy apparently being "let's not talk about it and hope it goes away."
According to this article, most zoophiles experience the first stirrings of their fetish between the ages of 11 and 14, which suddenly explains the success of both Alvin and the Chipmunks movies. Zoophiles don't draw much of a difference between the affections of a human and an animal and, really, we can't see much of a difference between a pet and a significant other--they both cheer you up when you're down and they both can be trained to lick your genitals.
As it turns out, the act of bonifering an animal may be older than recorded history, because it's really not all that hard to figure out just what's going on in this cave painting from Val Comonica, circa 8000 BC.
And he looks like he's having the time of his fucking life.
Furthermore, the ancient Romans' flirtations with the animal kingdom are near-legendary. Donkeys, baboons, geese, dogs� you'd be hard-pressed to find a species that the Romans didn't defile at some point. This reaches epic levels of insanity when you learn that Roman women would often masturbate with live fucking snakes, which were trained to "suckle the nipples."
The Roman attitude towards bestiality was so relaxed that many Roman citizens indulged in it, up to and including their goddamn emperor. But they met their match with the Egyptians, who according to the Greek historian Herodotus "mastered the art of sexual congress with a crocodile." They didn't just fuck crocodiles, they fucking mastered it.
"You'll find my Ph.D. wedged in his asshole."
#1. Sadomasochism - 470 BC
If you're reading Cracked, you're probably the type of person who already knows that sadomasochism was named after the Marquis de Sade. But he didn't invent it.
Alternatively known as "bondage," "S & M" and "get the fuck out of my apartment," sadomasochism involves two consenting partners engaging in a style of sexual roleplay characterized by domination and submission. One partner, the dominant, inflicts pain, while the other partner, the submissive, receives it. S & M covers a wide range of activities, from simple verbal abuse and light spanking to full-blown flogging and humiliation.
So if de Sade wasn't the father of sadomasochism, who was?
Tarquinia's Tomb of the Floggings contains some of the earliest erotic artwork known to man, and they're almost 2,500 years old (dating around 470 BC). In addition to numerous depictions of orgies and guy-on-guy butt-tastic sex, we have a scene of what is clearly two dudes filling out one woman while whipping her back.
Also, she appears to have bitten one of them in half.
So the next time you see a leather sex club and think to yourself that you're watching the downfall of modern society, keep this in mind: They were doing full-on S & M orgies five centuries before the New Testament.

My professor requires me to go to the website and login and check the individual folders for updates. It is using http and I am wondering if there is a way to mount it as a drive similar to SSH and macfusion.
You can't mount a http/https server as a filesystem since it won't provide a directory table for you. (I left a comment on why httpfs isn't what you need)
The best way to do the task is to make a list of the URLs you need to check and use a shell script (run from Automator for convenience perhaps?)
You will need to USE curl or wget which will do the http downloading for you (they both provide post and http basic auth support for sending login info, however you probably need to install them on Mac Os X, off the top of my head I've forgotten.)
You can get fancy and use diff to check automatically for changes in the files, so that you only need to get personally involved with the process when you really have to.
Need more info, I'll happily expand on this.
The webpage doesn't appear to have been updated since September 2006, but the downloads area has a release from a year ago. Source code only, but reported to work on 10.4+. You'll also need to install MacFUSE.

My bike service guys wrote a blog article along these lines. You may find it useful.
The article recommends four principals for basic bike care. These are
Mostly it depends on where and how far you commute, and road conditions (sandy, snow, salt etc etc).
At a minimum what I do is:
Daily: check tire air pressure.
Weekly: Check brake pad wear, tire wear, clean/wipe down entire bike
Monthly: Check chain tension, chainring/cogs for wear, lube chain, adjust brakes, oil all pivot points on derailleurs, brakes etc.
Annually: complete tear down, inspection and reassembly with synthetic grease on all bearings.
Being a big guy (~400lbs), I do a lot of damage to my bikes, so I check things more often and most of the time there isn't a problem. It's just better to double check. So as a result, here is my paranoid check schedule:
When needed:
Every 3 rides:
Every 3 months:
Just to Add to the already good suggestions, If you bike at night,
This depends greatly on the type of bicycle: a Dutch type commuter bike requires very little maintenance. Simply checking tire pressure weekly/monthly and maybe lubricating the chain once a year will keep it in good conditions for years (with minimal repairs needed).
The reason is that very few sensitive parts are exposed to weather and outside conditions: completely covering chaincase, internal hub gear, hub dynamo, etc.
My feeling is that it does help a lot to store the bike inside or at least under a roof to better protect it from rusting.

I recently bought a new tent, is it worth the extra $40 to purchase a footprint for it as well? Or are there alternatives that can be found on the trail or even made at home?
If you don't mind the extra weight, I would say definitely go for it. It helps to protect your tent, and $40 spent to protect a $300 to $400 item is well worth it in my experience. It reduces the chance of damaging the bottom of your tent on sticks and rocks. It is also useful, as Gonzo states, alone if you are setting up just the fly and the footprint for a quick break out of the sun.
I will also add a qualification to my statement that it is worth it if you are going to be camping more than just a few times a year. Like most things, the chance of damage goes up the more frequently you use it, so if you're out every weekend, you'll be able to make use of it a lot.
I've been surprised by how durable tent floors are. I've never used footprints, and I have a silnylon-floored tent (i.e. not very durable material) that has lasted hundreds of nights and still doesn't have any holes or thin spots. So really, I would call it wasted money and weight in your pack to carry a footprint.
If you forsee using the tent in "fast pack" configuration, i.e. no tent body, then consider getting the footprint just for that.
I have seen people use
Personally, I've found it useful to have just a footprint when backpacking or camping in mild climates to reduce the carrying weight. While just a rainfly and footprint won't keep bugs out, it will protect you from rain and wind, and will be much lighter without all of the tent fabric.
With the potential for severe weather conditions, however I would bring a complete tent.

Reviewed By: James Ralston on 11/17/11
As a 65 year old touring rider and lifelong outdoor enthusiast I've unfortunately had too much exposure to the sun. Several reminders of past sun damage have been removed from my ears and now, even though it is late, I'm much more aware and careful. The Protech Cap did a great job of shielding my ears from the sun on the 1900 miles that I rode on the Pacific Coast Highway tour that I finished in November 2011. The only issue that I identified is that my head seemed a little warmer than it might be if the material of the crown of the hat was a little thinner. It might also have been a little more comfortable under my helmet with slightly thinner material. I wore it all but several rain days so these questions did not reduce its usefulness. I will also wear it for longer rides in my hometown of Memphis in the Summer. Jim

Unanswered: Font clipping in List (Appcelerator Titanium)
Hi Extjsistas!
We love Extjs! We use it in PushToTest TestMaker. We package the Extjs elements as a Windows, Mac, and Linux desktop app using Appcelerator Titanium.
We noticed the list component clips the end of a text string. The last few pixels to the right side of a text string are clipped. See the attached screenshot.
Is there something we can do to solve this?

Hi Extjs Community,
First of all, Thanks to Extjs folks for what they have provided to this world.
I am also facing similar issue with the latest version of Titanium & Extjs 4.0. The last letter in the word is clipped very badly. Please have a look at the attached image. In Extjs 3.0, it was perfect and when we upgraded to 4.0, the problem arrived.
Please help us to resolve this issue.

Soy Sauce Eggs (Shoyu Tamago)
Soy Sauce Eggs (Shoyu Tamago) – These are beautiful and are made with only eggs and soy sauce! | rasamalaysia.com
4 hard boiled eggs
5 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
2. Remove the eggs, letting any extra soy sauce drain off, and place on a plate to cool.
3. When the eggs have cooled completely, pack them into lunches or enjoy one as a snack. Just don't leave them near my daughter, or else you'll never get to have a bite!
Rachael of La Fuji Mama is a sweetheart, you'll know what I mean if you meet her in person. I first met her a few months ago in an event at New York and became fast friends because we love similar stuff: food, traveling and living in Asia, and a penchant for Japanese cuisine. La Fuji Mama used to live in Tokyo but her family is now based in Orange County. Her blog is a collection of droolsome recipes, her family, and her past adventures living in Asia. Please welcome La Fuji Mama to Rasa Malaysia and check out her soy sauce eggs (shoyu tamago) recipe and step-by-step photos in the gallery above. This recipe is also a great side dish with porridge.
Bee and I recently met up at Mitsuwa, a local Japanese market, to do some shopping and then eat some ramen in the food court. In addition to ramen, we both ordered shoyu tamago–Japanese soy sauce eggs. We each ordered one egg, but I quickly realized that this was a mistake, because my almost-three-year-old daughter ate half of my egg and then kept trying to con Bee out of hers!
Recently Bee mentioned those eggs and how good they were and I had to laugh because they are one of the easiest things on the planet to make! Shoyu tamago are eggs that have been hard boiled, peeled, and then cooked in heated soy sauce so that the egg white turns brown on the outside and the egg becomes flavored by the soy sauce. They are wonderful as snacks or as an addition to a bento (a traditional Japanese lunch in a box) because they don't need any additional seasoning.
I always use tamari soy sauce, which is darker in appearance and richer in flavor than regular soy sauce. I prefer the darker mahogany color and extra flavor gained by using tamari soy sauce, but if all you have on hand is regular soy sauce, it will still work beautifully! One trick to note–when peeling your hard boiled eggs, peel carefully, trying to avoid nicking the surface of the egg whites. If you do nick the surface, the eggs will still taste delicious, but they just won't be as pretty.

The schools are starting again
Inside the heart symbols it reads "drive with your heart".
Virtually all school children travel by bike in the Netherlands.
I have previous posts about cycle parking at schools, including videos of primary and secondary age children travelling to and from school, the extent of cycle parking at schools, and about school trips, all tagged with school travel.
The school are already back here. Below are a few photos of the school run at the same school where I made this video:

Not to be picky, but the banner actually says: "The schools have begun again". So everybody needs to be aware the children are already out on the streets.
I say everybody, because it also says "Drive or RIDE with your heart". There is no difference between the two in Dutch so cyclists are also addressed.
This campaign is great. But I doubt there are people who didn't notice all the extra traffic! ;-)

Thats Terrific ,over here in Dublin maybe one Child Cycling to School and a Fleet of Cars and SUV's Dropping off their Children with the Roads Clogged with School Traffic each Morning and Afternoon. You can Replicate this all over the Country.
The Government is trying to Change this now and Promote Cycling for School Children but they need to put in Safe Cycling Infrastructure.
They would not even have the Brains to think of putting up Banners to warn Motorists to Drive slow and watch for Children Cycling.

As l'homme au velo said, the same happens in the UK. Countless towns, cities and villages clogged with protective parents ferrying the kids to school in SUV, 4x4, and any manner of estate car. They are oblivious to the fact a 1 to 2 mile ride to school will be beneficial to their offspring, and if more of them did it, there would be fewer cars on the road, increasing safety and reducing pollution. I haven't even gone into the physical advantages and the cost-saving exercise!!

These pictures are delightful! I love the banners and wish there was more publicity in the U.S. I'm not sure how effective it would be, but better than nothing. Too bad most of the traffic on the road around schools is parents driving kids in. I had so much fun riding my bike to school as a kid.

School started up here in Ontario on Tuesday. I live in close proximity to about six schools. Since Tuesday I've only seen one kid riding their bike into school.
Of course if you go by the schools, they are loaded with mini-vans and SUV's dropping the kids off.

its sad, the middle school here does not even have bike parking! I note usually 15+ plus bikes chained to a fence every day, the highschool has just as many, yeah its a small amount but there is at least a demand for parking for christs sake!
good to see, and again nothing that the Netherlands has done that the US or any other industrialised nation can't do, political will and speaking out is what it takes(which are lacking unfortunately)

1963½ Ford Galaxie - Following TraditionWritten by Chuck Vranas on February 18, 2014 Meade Baldwin Jr.'s Seductive Mild Custom 1963½ Ford Galaxie XL Fastback
Just the Facts
Year: 1963½
Make: Ford
Model: Galaxie XL Fastback
Owner: Meade Baldwin Jr.
State: Maryland
Building a mild custom is an exercise in creative restraint. Too few updates and it will wind up looking like a stocker, too many and it borders on crossing into full custom territory. It's being able to find the perfect balance and knowing when to stop that separates a so-so job with a great one. Sometimes a simple shave and a haircut accented by a new stance sets the standard when the factory did an exceptional job with the initial offering. Customizers have been walking that fine line for decades and its given Meade Baldwin Jr., of Crownsville, Maryland, plenty of time to visualize just how he'd approach his latest build.
Growing up in Millersville, Maryland, Meade was indoctrinated into hot rodding almost immediately by his dad Meade Sr. and his uncle Bill Baldwin who were hard-core rodders. His earliest memories are of his dad's 1962 Ranchero set up as a straight-axle street gasser and Uncle Bill's hopped-up Deuce pickup. Living only 2 miles from Capital Raceway meant spending plenty of time at the drags with the family immersed in a steady stream of nitro and tire smoke.
Having always been a fan of full-sized Fords from the 1960s, he had always thought about taking on the build of a classic mild custom. Settling on the early Ford Galaxie body style he began a hunt for a suitable car to start with. Fortunately a good friend of his had recently unearthed a barn find 1963½ XL Fastback to use as a parts car on one of his builds. Although the car was near complete it was covered in surface rust and posed a challenge for the build. Undaunted, he made a deal and hauled the car back to his home shop to further evaluate its future. Meade wasted no time in contacting good friend Ray Bartlett, owner of The Hot Rod Garage in Denton, Maryland, to stop by and check out his latest addition. Meade shared his ideas for the rebirth of the car as a mild custom with Bartlett and it didn't take long before a game plan was set to bring the car to a whole new level. The Galaxie was trailered to The Hot Rod Garage where the build was outlined with team leader Dean Alexander who added his own unique ideas to the mix. Almost immediately the car was torn down to start the build.
With the spine in decent shape it was picked clean and all the original seams were welded and ground smooth to give it a clean look. The original Ford 9-inch rearend was then freshened up and filled with 3.0:1 gears. In order to bring the stance down to earth the rear was suspended in place by a combination of 3-inch de-arched original leaf springs combined with Monroe tube shocks. Continuing forward the frontend was completely rebuilt and treated to a pair of 2-inch dropped spindles along with Eaton Detroit Spring 2-inch dropped springs to set the pace along with Monroe tube shocks. A Flaming River power rack-and-pinion helps carve a course while a Mustang dual master moves fluid through mild steel lines to 11-inch Ford drums out back and Master Power Brakes Legend Series 11-inch vented discs and calipers bring plenty of whoa to the mix up front. When it came time to selecting rollers nothing said classic custom like a set of 15x7 Radir Tri-Rib III wheels capped with Coker Classic wide whites.
Big-bodied Fords were always known for having big power and nowhere was this more apparent than in 1963. Meade's Galaxie came with a potent 390ci V-8 nailed to the 'rails and to keep the build real it was decided to pull the original engine out and rebuild it with plenty of cutting-edge speed parts. Brinkley Auto Machine in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, took on the job and got started by filling the block with a stock crank and rods linked to TRW forged 10.5:1 pistons. An Edelbrock Performer cam sets the thump while a pair of Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads up the power topped by finned aluminum valve covers by Mooneyes. To flow plenty of fuel an Edelbrock Performer dual-quad intake breathing through a pair of matching 500-cfm carbs delivers the juice with an MSD ignition lighting the fire. To move spent gases custom headers by The Hot Rod Garage do the deed through 2-inch stainless tube exiting through Smithy's mufflers. Pushing the power rearward a 1968 Ford C6 trans massaged by Performance Automatics of Gaithersburg, Maryland, packed with a B&M 11-inch torque converter and shift kit links to the factory steel driveshaft.
With the driveline complete it was time to focus on the body. To bring the Galaxie to the next level master craftsmen Bob Wilkins and Henry Steward got started by first replacing the trunk pan as well and the lower rear quarters. They then continued by shaving the lower body side molding and rear C-connector molding as well and the rear body panel, front fender gun sights, and model nameplates. Alexander followed by fabricating one-off stainless body side moldings with custom spears. Jason Lester and Alexander then massaged every inch of the vintage steel to perfection. When everything was razor-sharp Lester filled his spray gun and laid down a dramatic coating of single-stage Axalta (DuPont) maroon suede and dazzling House of Kolor dark gold flake on the roof. Jerry Campbell of Newark, Delaware, added the icing with custom pinstriping while the mile-deep shiny stuff was by Jon Wright's Custom Chrome in Grafton, Ohio. To give the interior a distinctive style team member Beau Wilkins modified the stock dash while also creating a unique trim and dash insert complete with Classic Instruments Hot Rod Series dials. While Steward laid out the wiring Alexander masterfully reworked a set of stock Ford Galaxie XL 500 seats in a combination of pleated white and maroon vinyl. Final accents include complementing maroon loop pile carpet, tunes by Sony, and gear changes from Lokar. Standing back and studying many of the subtle updates it's easy to see that Ray Bartlett and his team nailed the mild custom look, giving the Galaxie a new lease on life. With a full tank of gas, all that's left is for Meade to hit the highway...bitchin!

For the ultimate in comfort, Dean Alexander drastically modified a set of '63 1/2 Ford 500 XL seats and recovered them in classic white and maroon.Tastefully lowered and given a mild shave, Meade's Galaxie has just the right elements to make it a mild custom, including classic Radir wheels, wide whites, and reworked side moldings. A combination of polished maroon suede and a gold-flaked roof give the car plenty of signature style, especially when accented by a killer hot rod stance and mile-deep plating.

Democrats, planned Parenthood block rights of others
This is in response to Beth Kehoe's Feb. 20 letter, "'War on women' by Republican Party is real and ongoing."
It is not the Republican Party that is waging a "war on women." The Republican Party is trying to protect the rights of Catholics and other Christians who do not believe in abortion, the morning-after pill or any other unnatural form of birth control. The Republican Party is not denying women the right to choose these options; it is protecting the rights of doctors, nurses, businesses and other medical providers to be able to provide service based on their religious principles. They need to live with their consciences, or do their rights not count in this "war"?

What she is talking about is the lives of unborn human beings and their rights. It is about religious freedom. It's ludicrous to imply that this has anything to do with race, creed, etc., especially when the majority of abortions kill unborn blacks and/or girls.
Basic biology proves that an unborn child is a separate living human being - not part of his or her mother. That is unless you decide to redefine "Human" which the pro-abortion "slippery slope'rs" did. It's kind or ironic that you'd choose that wording to support your bizarre assertions. "
conservative1 wrote on Mar 1, 2013 9:21 AM:
What I propose is if you want an abortion. PAY FOR IT. Don't make someone who's religion ban's it pay. It makes us feel like sinners. "

The author wrote: "it is protecting the rights of doctors, nurses, businesses and other medical providers to be able to provide service based on their religious principles. They need to live with their consciences, or do their rights not count in this "war"?"
What is to prevent a different health care provider in the future from claiming their "need to live with their consciences" in denying health services to another patient based upon the provider's racial principles or ethnic principles or even political principles? There's the slippery slope that has eluded your comprehension. Once you've opened the door allowing for an objection based on a religious principle, what's to prevent someone else from voicing a similar objection based on a different personal concern?
There was and is nothing "ludicrous" or "bizarre" in my highlighting the potential dangers involved in allowing for an exemption based on a service provider's personal preference, for then the groundwork will be laid for allowing other exemptions for personal preferences, biases and perhaps even hatreds to be allowed. "
Bete Noire wrote on Mar 1, 2013 1:40 PM:
If you are a fiscal conservative, you may want to reconsider that position.
From the Guttmacher Institute: The estimates of the cost to taxpayers of providing medical services to women who experience unintended pregnancies and to the infants who are born as a result of such pregnancies range between $9.6 and $12.6 billion per year, and average $11.3 billion. The estimates of the public savings that would result if these unintended pregnancies were prevented range from $4.7 billion to $6.2 billion per year, and average $5.6 billion. "
3rdGenT wrote on Mar 1, 2013 4:21 PM:
The Guttmacher Institute is the research wing of Planned Parenthood, an organization that has turned abortion into an industry. Somehow I think you know that. Again, your thinking borders on the bizarre when you equate the killing unborn children to cost savings.
Since you like the term "slippery slope", aren't all the elderly, sick, mentally diminished, and handicapped costing taxpayers? There was a leader during World War II who held similar views. "
3rdGenT wrote on Mar 1, 2013 4:37 PM:
You seem to have difficulty reading what I said. The law has long held that discrimination regarding ethnicity is not acceptable. In that light, your statements are both ludicrous and bizarre.
This is not about a personal preference, this is about following your religion and the right to do so as guaranteed by our Constitution. Or do you think that "Freedom of Religion" means that the only place religion can be practiced is in church unless it agrees with your primitive views. And yes, I said primitive eg. the killing of innocent unborn children because of their cost, gender, and/or race.
In fact the only ones waging war are those who want to crush religious beliefs or get the churches to bow to their own current moral values (or, more truthfully lack of values). These are the same people who support abortion - the killing of an unborn human being. "
The Majority Voice wrote on Mar 1, 2013 4:40 PM:
No one is forcing you to choose something that is not right for you. Why do you want to force your opinions on others?
What part of separation of church and state don't you understand? "
conservative1 wrote on Mar 1, 2013 4:40 PM:
The theory being if you cut the nanny programs, the unintended pregnancies will dramatically decrease. Teen girls know they get the free rent when they have a baby, have a 2nd and 3rd, get more free money. When you stop that you stop the pregnancies. When you stop the free abortions, the rest will dramatically decrease too.
YourGuttmacher Institute study just proves a point I've been making on here for years. Abortion is the Socialists way of keeping their form of government from imploding. Socialism can't work if there isn't millions of abortions. That alone should tell you it is not what God intended. "
Val Fahey wrote on Mar 1, 2013 8:25 PM:
And you wonder why so many Americans are turning away from religion.
Listen, the LAST organization I will be taking "moral" advice from is the Roman Catholic Church. Aside from that, please leave my private reproductive health decisions to me. They are none of your business. "

Attack the Catholic Church because they wont pat you on the back and say it's ok to kill your baby, it's your body, your right. "
conservative1 wrote on Mar 1, 2013 10:30 PM:
Is it because the unbirthed baby isn't wanted by the mother? Is that what makes it ok? That logic would make it ok for a mother to kill her child at any point in it's life when she decides she no longer wants that child. We are a very sick society. "

as for cost, there are some costs worth bearing. one might also suggest adoption. how many couples go overseas because they can't find an American kid to adopt? meanwhile, over one million kids are aborted every year.
on a side note, what was that theory about the nazis? "

I ask after encountering the following sentence in Tatoeba:
I ask after encountering the following sentence in Tatoeba:
Yes, your guess is right. However, I think you should focus on the character "再" here. There are several such patterns with "再".
The pattern "再 + verb + [], [] + 就 + []" is used to express a condition, a premise; remember that "过" here means "[time, etc] to pass, to elapse" and "再" means "to continue to do something" or "to do something again" here. This pattern is somewhat like the pattern "if sb/sth continues to do sth,sb/sth will..." in English.
"再" here implies "you" have covered a distance already, so now you continue to walk.
"再" here implies "I" have written for a while, so I want to continue to write.
"再" here implies "you" have harassed me for some time, so now you continue to harass me or harass me again.
When a police officer is chasing a criminal, he would warn the criminal,
Even without 再, it still means "in [amount of time]." For example, "过几天" means "after a few days".
I don't have any statistics, but yes, I think that using 过 is the most natural and common way to express this concept.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- Kenneth Adelman, a long-time Washington insider and key diplomatic figure during the Reagan administration, will deliver the Wadsworth Lecture at the State University of New York at Geneseo at 8 p.m. May 2 in Wadsworth Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public.
His address, "Tales and Times of Ronald Reagan," will include clips of President Reagan's speeches, funny incidents and summit photos when Adelman was with him negotiating nuclear arms reductions. Adelman was a U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency during the Reagan administration.
"Ken Adelman will bring fascinating insight into our nation's 40th president, taking us back to a time of superpower summits and arms control negotiations," said Christopher C. Dahl, president of SUNY Geneseo. "The public's fascination with 'The Great Communicator' remains strong and we're honored to have Ken on campus to enlighten us through the Wadsworth Lecture."
Adelman served as assistant to the Secretary of Defense in the mid-1970s and was on the Defense Policy Board from 2001-06. He was national editor of Washingtonian magazine for 20 years.
Adelman was an early supporter of the war in Iraq but later criticized Bush administration leadership in handling the war. He also questioned John McCain's judgment during the 2008 presidential campaign and decided to back democrat Barack Obama for president.
Adelman is currently vice president of Movers & Shakespeares, an executive training firm that teaches critical business skills through Shakespeare's greatest works. He has taught Shakespeare courses for many years at universities in Washington, D.C.
About the Wadsworth Lecture
The Wadsworth Lecture at Geneseo was endowed in 1988 by the late Alice Wadsworth Strong, who established the series in honor of her father, Ambassador James Jeremiah Wadsworth, to reflect and memorialize his life of public service at the national, state and local levels. Previous Wadsworth Lecture speakers have included former NAACP board chair Julian Bond, Presidents George H. W. Bush and Gerald R. Ford and conservationist and paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey.

Who Pays?
In the case of an occupied property, the person or company occupying it is liable for paying the rates. Sometimes a landlord may charge an occupier rent which includes an element for rates. Even in these cases, the occupier is still the person liable for payment and the bill is sent in his/her name. The occupier would usually pass the bill to the landlord in these circumstances who would make a payment on the occupier's behalf.
Unoccupied Property Rating
Dwellings that are vacant or unoccupied may be exempt from Council Tax. Further information can be obtained from the page relating to Empty, unoccupied or part occupied properties

Birmingham, Ala.- Charlotte came out with a sense of desire in the Conference USA series finale against UAB on Saturday afternoon defeating the Blazers 1-0 off a solo home run by Jessica Plemmons in the top of the seventh. Charlotte moves to 17-24 on the season and an 8-12 clip in league play. UAB falls to 29-20 with a 13-7 mark in C-USA play.
One run was all the Niners needed for a shutout victory against the Blazers in the series finale after being shutout in the doubleheader yesterday. "It was a great win," said Aimee DeVos. "Like many games this season, they just never quit. I am proud of their effort to come back after two tough games last night. Lexi and Jackie worked a great game and Jes' home run was clutch."
Charlotte and UAB were scoreless through the first six innings until Jessica Plemmons (Lexington, N.C./ North Davidson HS) stepped to the plate. In the first pitch of the at-bat in the top of the seventh, Plemmons sent it over the right center field wall. Plemmons' ninth home run of the season proved to be the only run the Niners needed.
The Niners had an opportunity in the top of the fourth inning to scratch across a run but came up empty. Natalie Capone (St. Charles, Ill./ St. Charles North) picked up the first hit for the Niners sending a 1-2 pitch into left field. Capone moved up to second on a Samantha Slade (Apex, N.C./ Apex HS) sacrifice bunt. Capone was stranded in scoring position to end the threat.
The Blazer attack in the bottom of the fourth inning was extinguished by Lexi Betancourt (Garner, N.C./ West Johnson HS) picking up three punch outs in the inning. The Blazers' Pearson doubled to shallow center field followed by an infield single put runners at second and third with two outs. Betancourt got a full count swing and a miss to end the threat.
Lexi Betancourt (16-12) picked up a career high 16th victory tossing her sixth shutout of the season scattering three hits through seven innings. UAB's starter Leigh Streetman was tagged with the loss giving up the big fly in the seventh dropped to 18-11 on the season tossing six innings allowing the lone run off two hits and striking out eight.
Charlotte will step out of league play to face UNC Greensboro on the road for a midweek doubleheader. The Spartans took the midweek doubleheader at Charlotte April 16.

Ancelloti and Blanc Keep Europe's Carousel Turning
Soccer Managers Take Speedy Shuttle Around Europe
The annual reshuffle of European soccer managers delivered a double-switch on Tuesday when Real Madrid confirmed Carlo Ancelotti before his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, announced that it had appointed Laurent Blanc to replace him.
Ancelotti had been considered the front-runner for the job even before José Mourinho left Madrid for Chelsea. Last season, he guided PSG, Ligue 1's richest club, to its first French league title since 1994. But he couldn't take it past the quarterfinals of the Champions League, a competition he won twice as manager of AC Milan in the 1990s.
Blanc, a World Cup-winner as a player in 1998, most recently managed the French national team at Euro 2012. He left the job after Les Bleus were eliminated by Spain in the quarterfinals.

British Winner Robson Tipped
For Something Special
The last British woman to win a singles title at Wimbledon, Virginia Wade, is old enough to be a 32-year veteran of the broadcast booth. She has watched generations of young British women come and go without a single one lifting the trophy she earned in 1977.
But on Tuesday, perhaps caught up in 19-year-old Laura Robson's upset of No. 10 seed Maria Kirilenko, Wade announced that Robson could very well do something special at the All England Club.
"Virginia always gets quite excited, doesn't she?" Robson said after her 6-3, 6-4 victory.
So do the home fans at Wimbledon any time a British player gives them the faintest sign of hope. By the end of play on Tuesday, she was the only British woman left in the draw—there had been seven on Monday morning. Now Robson, ranked No. 38 in the world, will face Mariana Duque-Marino, who sits 79 places below her, in the second round.
"It's unfortunate that no one else made the second round, but that happens sometimes," Robson said. "Last year, I lost in the first round."
Elsewhere on the women's side, defending champion Serena Williams dispatched Mandy Minella in under an hour and fourth seed Agnieska Radwanska advanced easily as well.
In the men's tournament, things calmed down on Tuesday after the stunning elimination of Rafael Nadal on Monday. All of the high seeds advanced safely, with Novak Djokovic sinking Florian Mayer in straight sets and No. 4 David Ferrer beating Martin Alund.
Of the players seeded in the top 20, only No. 16 Philipp Kohlschreiber and No. 19 Gilles Simon of France faltered on Tuesday. —J.R.

What happened to the Fresh tab?
There are only 3 deals listed, 2 from @ohcheri and one for Assassin's Creed 3.
EDIT: The first 2 deals on Top, Current Rank are 2 of those 3 deals, minus the one that has lingerie as a tag.
23 Answers answer
I was right behind you with the same question....
Blame TT
My last two deals were deleted so I reposted. Then I saw what everyone else is seeing...
All of the popular deals are all messed up too. I was on top and now Assassins creed that was posted 30 mins ago is up there with the next item only having 1 vote.
Yep, everything is pretty screwed up. Several of the deals I've commented on today are nowhere to be found.
Lol, it was an obvious joke. Who could blame the hardest working deal woot staffer
Just checked my deals...everything from the last 3 days I've posted is gone. Seems to be some kind of post-cyber Monday deals.woot meltdown. Who's on duty tonight? @thunderthighs, @faughtey, or @jumbowoot, inquiring minds want to know ;)
Edit: wootbot seems to be planning on refilling all the pages itself.
Wootbot is so annoying
Update: shawnmiller says they're looking into it.
Fresh Tab is now the Top Current Rank Tab... :-)
Hi! We're on it, but don't have much to share yet, beyond what you all've noticed.
I'm glad it's not just me. I thought I angered the wootgods or something.
@dpn0121: Awwwwwwwwww.
It works fine from my end now.
Not for me. Only 2 pages and 4 hours of deals.
@thunderthighs: Aww, we still love you
And besides, Haters gonna hate...
@thunderthighs: I apologize. My obvious joke was in bad taste.
@thunderthighs: I understand you are working on the problem and it "looks" like it's fixed but it really isn't.
I posted two deals yesterday and they both received a bunch of votes. One was the deal for the LOTR 15 disk set and at last count, it was in the high 80's. The other was the Amazon FAOTD and that had over 20 votes. They are both gone. Not RIP'd but completely gone. They do not appear in my history or anywhere that I can find.
@cengland0: yep, same with me. The earliest deal I have posted is still from 3 days ago.
@jumbowoot, @davebug, @thunderthighs any word yet on what happened and were our posted deals are?
@segafanalways: For your future reference, it's @dave bug (with a space). I vote up VERY few deals, any more, and there's one missing that I know I voted up during the recent fooferaw (yes that is a word). I suspect that the things that are missing are just gone. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.
Oh, and to whoever is downvoting honest comments, here's some advice.
Go outside, get some fresh air. Do something nice for others. Kick back for a bit. Lighten Up. It's just a web site.
I'd hoped to have clearer or better news, but rather than say nothing, I thought I'd give a bit of an update:
We found and fixed the issue that caused some community deals to get deleted.
We looked into a few possible ways of recovering some of the lost data, but at this point they all carry enough downsides (losing data since then, creating some duplicate data, etc.) that we've decided not to implement them. So, outside of any new discoveries, it's safe to assume what's gone is gone from that ~24 hour period.
In short, that totally sucks. I know it's a crappy experience to have worked to add deals & comments and just have them disappear. Your content is what makes this site & it's very valuable. It's something we take seriously & are working extra hours to try to ensure it won't happen again.
@dave bug: Your update is appreciated! So much better to hear 'bad' news, than no news at all. :-) Also, good to know that you're working on keeping this from happening again.
