Sencha cmd and Maven development
I have a Maven based web application which uses typical Maven directory structure. I have created an Ext JS 4.1.1a application to ${basedir}/src/main/webapp directory using Sencha Cmd 22.214.171.124.
For development purposes I use maven-jetty-plugin and generated index.html which uses Ext.Loader to load scripts dynamically. There's a bug http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...l=1#post897523 which is fortunately easy to fix.
During creating a war-package, on 'prepare-package' phase, I run 'secnha ant build' by using exec-maven-plugin to make a production build of ExtJS 4 app. I don't want to pollute ${basedir}/src/main/webapp directory so I have changed workspace.build.dir(in ${basedir}/src/main/webapp/.sencha/workspace/sencha.cfg) to ${basedir}/target. This works relatively fine. There are some bugs which are reported on the forum. For example some image urls generated are absolute not relative.
After succesful build, build directory contains index.html, all-classes.js and ext and resources directories. I use ant copy tasks to copy files back to ${basedir}/src/main/webapp directory so that they are included in war package.Code:
<target name="-after-build"> <copy file="${workspace.build.dir}/all-classes.js" tofile="all-classes.js"/> <copy file="${workspace.build.dir}/index.html" tofile="index.jsp"/> </target>
However I am not sure what to do with the ext and resources directories. I just cannot copy them to ${basedir}/src/main/webapp because it already has those directories generated by Sencha Cmd and are used during development. 'sencha ant build' generated ext and resources directories are not identical with directories generated initially by 'sencha generate app'.
Is there anyone who has same kind of setup? How do you handle the situation?
15 Oct 2012 4:26 AM #2
I am doing something very similar and waiting for an updated version of Sencha command.
I think you can avoid the extra copy back into the webapp directory by just telling the war plugin about additional webResources (the sencha build directory).
30 Jan 2013 10:00 AM #3
would you mind posting the pertinent lines from your maven config?
15 Feb 2013 12:58 PM #4
Does this work now?
I would like to do a very similar thing (integrate Sencha Cmd with Maven). Please post details of your solution if you were able to get it working. Thanks!
20 Mar 2013 6:22 PM #5
I ended up running maven only after I generated the zip first with the sencha command.
11 Apr 2013 10:08 AM #6
Here are a few things I've found. The approach I've tried so far is to use maven-antrun-plugin to invoke Sencha Cmd as an Ant Library. Check the Sencha API docs under Ant Integration for some helpful details.
First, you need to define a cmd.dir property specifying where Sencha Cmd is located.
<properties> <cmd.dir>path/to/Sencha/Cmd</cmd.dir> </properties>
To make use of Sencha Cmd Ant tasks, you need to reference the sencha.jar file via a taskdef. You can then use <x-sencha-command> tasks to invoke Sencha Cmd as needed. Since Sencha Cmd is Ant driven, it sometimes bootstraps using a build.xml file located with the web app files. This build file is likely in a different location than your pom.xml file, meaning Ant wouldn't normally be able to see its build.xml file when run via Maven since the working directory would be based on the location of the pom file. To fix this issue, specify a dir attribute on the <x-sencha-cmd> tag to set the working directory for Sencha Cmd invocations. When using <x-sencha-command>, the arguments are placed in the body text, one argument per line. Spaces are trimmed at both ends, so indent level is not significant but recommended to clarify the command structure.
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>compile</id> <phase>compile</phase> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> <configuration> <target> <taskdef resource="com/sencha/ant/antlib.xml" classpath="${cmd.dir}/sencha.jar"/> <x-sencha-command dir="${basedir}/src/main/webapp"> app build </x-sencha-command> </target> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin>
25 Jun 2013 8:53 AM #7
I have the exact same configuration, but everytime I run Maven, I am getting the error below. Any ideas?
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.7:run (sencha-compile) on project webapp: An Ant BuildException has occured: com.sencha.exceptions.BasicException: Problem: failed to create task or type x-script-def
[ERROR] Cause: The name is undefined.

[ERROR] Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
[ERROR] Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.
25 Jun 2013 9:36 AM #8
The x-script-def task should be imported via
<taskdef resource="com/sencha/ant/antlib.xml" classpath="${cmd.dir}/sencha.jar"/>
25 Jun 2013 9:40 AM #9
Yes, I do have the taskdef in the right place. Below is a snippet of pom.xml
<plugin> <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.7</version> <executions> <execution> <id>sencha-compile</id> <phase>compile</phase> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <target> <taskdef resource="com/sencha/ant/antlib.xml"> <classpath> <pathelement location="${cmd.dir}/sencha.jar"/> </classpath> </taskdef> <x-sencha-init dir="${basedir}/src/main/webapp"/> <x-sencha-command dir="${basedir}/src/main/webapp"> app build </x-sencha-command> </target> </configuration> </plugin>

Also, I am using Sencha Cmd 184.108.40.2062 and ExtJS 4.2. Thanks.

An Evening of Verdi
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra held its annual concert and symphony gala at the Symphony Center and the Chicago Palmer House.
The evening began with an all-Verdi concert conducted by Music Director Riccardo Muti in celebration of the late Italian composer's bicentennial. The 680 guests attending the ball were greeted by violinists as they entered the Michigan Avenue red-carpet entrance prior to the cocktail reception and sit-down dinner featuring lobster bisque, sirloin of beef and creme brulee. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon-themed decor by Flower Firm—hanging florals and tall tree designs that incorporated orchids, hydrangea and roses in shades of white and green—adorned the
dining area.
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, now in its 123rd season, is hailed as one of the world's finest orchestras with Muti currently at the helm as conductor. The gala raised more than $1.2 million to support the orchestra's goal of delivering unparalleled musical experiences in Chicago and beyond.

Wenn, Fame, Splash
Well, it was inevitable: a Ryan Lochte reality show on E! It premieres in April and will feature Dum-Dum preparing for Rio 2016 and managing his clothing line and trying to find love. At 28? Training for another Olympics while getting your dick sucked by former child stars and aspiring actresses? I guess that sets up Season 4 then, non? Lochte sinks at the Olympic trials. Full Story
Best of 2012: Ryan Lochte, dum-dum

Dear Gossips,
It got so busy, we never did talk about Ryan Lochte's leather vest and pants situation the other day, did we?

Lochte goody-goodies Prince Harry
Jennifer Mitchell/Splash
Prince Harry and Ryan Lochte both partied in Vegas. At one point they partied together. If I had asked you last week who would come out of the weekend pictured cupping his balls and bent over with his ass crack on display, what would have been your answer? The third in line to the throne or the Grand Poobah of Jeah? While Harry is ensconced at Balmoral waiting on Granny's judgment, Lochte's the one on The Today Show being all wholesome and snuggling puppies. Full Story
The New Pussy Posse
Prince Harry was in Vegas last night. So was Ryan Lochte. They ended up in a pool together. Easy. I too wish this story would end the way you want it to end -- with Lochte's legs wrapped around Harry's waist. Instead, at 3am, Harry jumped in the pool with his pants still on and challenged Lochte to a breast stroke. Full Story

"Best blind purchase yet"
By Blackout BlindsFan from Portland
These blinds are amazing for blocking out light. Easy to install. Depending on window framing you will have to install small amounts of weather striping to get the last tiny bits of light blocked out (Small amount included). The bottom of my window was not level and had a slight light streak I purchased some weather stripping and when blind is closed no light (Attached it to bottom of blind). If you need to block out light in your room for sleeping or home theater take a look at these. They are amazing at blocking light. I plan to purchase them again soon to start blocking more light out of my theater room.View this product

Is it possible to redefine the keyboard shortcut for deleting files to delete loosing the command ?
Is it possible to redefine the keyboard shortcut for deleting files to [delete] loosing the [command]?
Normally it is possible to customize your own keyboard shortcuts in the Keyboard pref pane, but you cannot re-map the Delete key.
So in short, no, it is not possible to re-map Cmd ⌘+Delete to simply the Delete key.
This would be a "hack", but it just occurred to me that if you have a programmable mouse with an extra button, you may be able to assign the Cmd ⌘+Delete key combo to that button. It won't work using the built-in Mouse pref pane, but there may be a third-party app that can do it -- e.g. USB Overdrive or Logitech Control Center (for Logitech mice, obviously).

On my server I am trying to install a new usb drive but all that happens is that the system starts using huge amounts of processor cycles with services.exe. On closer inspection with process explorer there is a thread called umpnpmgr.dll using most of the services.exe processor time.
I left it for a half hour and still nothing happened.
Rebooted and tried again, same result.
Tried a different usb drive, then a flash drive but still same issue.
Tried updating driver but it said the update function was already in action.
I have used process explorer to kill the thread now so the server can still perform its intended functions.
Any device that was previously installed before this began happening will still work but any device new to the system will not.
My question(s) is/are:
Is there a way to manually install the device into the registry so Windows thinks it is a previously installed device?
Or can this problem be repaired through anything other than a reinstall? To do a reinstall would mean backing up large amounts of data which is hard with a usb drive and insufficient space on all other network machines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

text: Here's the thing, I've grown rather bored with worlds where magic works "just because". However, much to my disappointment, many authors seem to think of it as something to create imagery or close up a plot hole rather than think about how it actually works. I don't care if the character is throwing fire balls, but could you give me a little context? It's a chance to add cultural flavor to worlds that people sadly ignore. As a pagan, this simplistic view of the mystic cannot satisfy me as a person whose world view is immersed in a complex philosophical understanding of what one calls sorcery. Anyway, there is a question in this. Are there any series or stories set in worlds where magic functions in a manner similar to that described in real world occult texts? In other words, none of this arcane/divine divide crap. This isn't a recommendations thread, but I do honestly want to know if there are any significant books with this. Furthermore, why do authors seem to ignore these often lost opportunities? One does not have to write a thesis on the matter so why?

As Alexander Grahn suggested - instead of using

Who knew that maple syrup could be a morning healthy boost?
Researchers at the University of Rhode Island recently analyzed maple syrup and found that it contains 54 polyphenols, healthy compounds that can protect against cancer and diabetes.
But be sure to read the labels on the maple products. Only the real deal has these disease fighters.
Article Photos
A?PERFECT?PAIRING — No food takes to maple syrup as well as pancakes. Drizzled with the thick syrup, they are a breakfast treat, better than doughnuts. Better yet, it's been reported that maple syrup contains 54 polyphenols that can protect against cancer and diabetes.
-- Esther McCoy
Products labeled "pancake syrup" are made from corn syrup and other sweeteners and flavored to taste like the stuff from trees.
Even if healthier than previously thought, maple syrup is still a high-calorie sweetener, so drizzle it, don't pour it on.
Maple syrup is produced mainly in eastern Canada and in the northeastern United States. It is a boiled-down sap that is tapped from maple trees.
Though we are most familiar with it as a topping for waffles and pancakes, it is not just for breakfast. Unlike cheaper pancake syrups, many of which contain no maple at all, pure maple syrup has a distinctive earthy flavor that is a great complement to many savory foods.
Maple syrup comes in four USDA grades:
For cooking, stick to the darker grades, as they will retain their flavor. When eating the syrup straight, choose whichever intensity of maple flavor you prefer.
For the best flavor, check the label to be sure that maple syrup is the only ingredient. Terms such as "all-natural" are basically meaningless.
An unopened bottle of maple syrup will last for a year in the pantry. After opening, refrigerate it for up to six months or transfer the syrup to plastic containers and freeze indefinitely. The syrup will get thicker but will return to normal when it warms up.
Some uses for that bottle of maple syrup are:
The Dashboard Magazine, given to me by Carol Deatrick of Florida, has a recipe for a spread to put on corn meal muffins, French toast or waffles.
Maple Butter
1 1/2 sticks softened, unsalted butter
3 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, preferably grade B
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and syrup until creamy. To store, keep tightly covered in the refrigerator.
This is maple flavored parfait, using maple syrup rather than sugar. It is from the Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook.
Maple Parfait
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 egg yolks, beaten until very light
1 teaspoon vanilla or 1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring
1 cup whipping cream, whipped stiff
Boil maple syrup for 1 minute and cool. Slowly pour syrup over the beaten eggs and cook in a double boiler until mixture thickens. Cool and add the flavoring of your choice. Fold in cream that has been beaten until it stands up in stiff peaks. Put in freezer tray and freeze for three to four hours. This can be layered with whipped topping and crushed nuts. Makes six servings.
Taste of Home Magazine has a recipe for a cookie bar using cinnamon baking chips. Hopefully, this type of chip can be purchased in local stores, or I would suggest butterscotch chips.
Cinnamon Chip Bars
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cinnamon baking chips
1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until well blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in cinnamon chips. Spread into a greased 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. In a small bowl, mix all glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over top. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container.
Note: To make the cinnamon sugar, mix granulated sugar with 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon.
This is another Taste of Home recipe, but maple flavoring is used rather than maple syrup.
Marvelous Maple Fudge
1 teaspoon plus 1 cup butter, divided
2 cups packed brown sugar
5-ounce can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Line an 8-inch square pan with foil; grease foil with 1 teaspoon butter. In a large saucepan, combine remaining butter, brown sugar and milk. Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in maple flavoring, vanilla and salt. Add confectioners' sugar, slowly. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes or until smooth. Spread into prepared pan and cool completely. Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Remove foil; cut into 1-inch squares. Store in an airtight container.
This recipe is from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. It is for a side dish that is colorful with carrots, sweet potatoes and dried apricots then flavored with maple syrup and orange juice.
Maple-Orange Sweet Potatoes and Carrots
16-ounce package baby carrots, washed
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup snipped dried apricots
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Lightly coat the inside of a 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add carrots. Top with sweet potatoes and dried apricots. In a small bowl, stir together maple syrup, orange juice concentrate, water, melted butter, salt, white pepper and cinnamon. Pour over sweet potato mixture in cooker. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 9 hours or on high setting for 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Serve with a slotted spoon. Makes 10 side dish servings, plenty for a company dinner. This is 194 calories per 2/3 cup serving, with 3 grams fat.
Okay, here comes a wonderful dessert if you take a liking to cheesecake. It is a maple and pumpkin cheesecake that is rather high in calories, 447, but well worth a small slice and freeze a portion for another day. It is from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, a gift from Jim and Ann Marie Monogioudis for our 50th wedding anniversary.
Maple and Pumpkin Cheesecake
1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham crackers
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter melted
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine finely crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar and melted butter. Press crumb mixture onto the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch spring form pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Meanwhile, for the filling, in an extra large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add pumpkin, brown sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. Beat cream cheese mixture until well combined. Fold in eggs. Pour filling into the crust-lined pan. Place spring form in a shallow baking pan using a water bath method to keep the cheesecake creamy and smooth, if desired.
To do this, place crust-lined pan on a double layer of 18- by 12-inch heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bring edges of foil up and mold around pan sides to form a watertight seal. Pour filling into the prepared pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake 60 to 70 minutes. When done, cheesecake edges will be set, but center will jiggle slightly when pan is gently shaken. Turn oven off and allow cheesecake to sit in the oven for 1 hour.
This is a suggestion for a creamy cheesecake, but it can be baked without the hot water bath in a 325 degree oven for 60 to 70 minutes or until center appears nearly set when gently shaken. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Using a small thin knife, loosen crust from sides of springform pan. Cool for 30 minutes more. Remove sides of pan. Cool for 1 hour. Cover and chill for at least 4 or up to 24 hours. To serve, drizzle caramel sauce over top of cheesecake.
This can be covered with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for up to three days. Or it can be cut into slices or left whole and placed in a freezer-safe bag or a plastic container and frozen for up to a month for the whole cheesecake or two weeks for the pieces.
To thaw, loosen wrapping and thaw a whole cheesecake in the refrigerator for 24 hours or slices at room temperature for 30 minutes. This recipe makes 12 slices.

Die Hard 25th Anniversary Collection (4 movies) [Blu Ray] for $24.99
Probably not free shipping but also available in store. Even if their in store price is higher, they'll match both B&M and on-line prices (including their own).
11 Comments add a comment
Just an FYI - Live Free or Die Hard is the theatrical PG-13 cut. The R-rated cut, which made it to DVD, hasn't been released on Blu-Ray. So, as a censored McClane would say - Yippie-Ki-Yay-Mother-F-~~~unintelligible over gunshots~~~
@quantamm: I was about to buy this, until I read your comment. That sucks. I only want to buy the whole bundles when I get full features. That's pretty much the point. :(
@quantamm: You're half right. The theatrical version is the original version, and the "Unrated" just added in a few swear words and bad CGI blood effects later.
@quantamm: Thanks for the info...too bad. I'd posted on getglue that "I'm glad they're moving back to rated R" for "A Good Day to Die Hard"
Fry's does have free shipping (WM and Amazon are ~$50).
Soooo confused. I jumped in before reading the comments. Bad. Panicked, went to the Fry's web site and looked at the other Blu Ray releases. They are dated 1/29/13 and are specifically rated R. Cautions about language, nudity........all the good stuff. This version states that it is unrated, but has the same release date of 1/29/13. I may be overly optimistic, but it looks like this one may be a very recently-released R version. Besides, for the price it is a nice primer for the new Die Hard. Some imagination may be required.
I have the 6-disc DVD set of the first 3 films, plus #4 on DVD. Worth it to upgrade to Blu?
I just got to my local Fry's (Northern suburbs of Atlanta GA) & this set & all the single movies (in the same release series) have $10 "movie money" stickers on them good toward the upcoming movie.
BTW, the single movies mentioned above are on sale for $10 each with those $10 Movie Money coupon codes too so if you're planning to see the movie at full price (if your ticket it's under $10, don't expect change) anyway, that makes the single blu ray movies practically free.
Also, from multiple personal experiences, Movie Money is treated by the participating theater as a credit card (Discover card, I think) & can be used to purchase any movie ticket, not just the movie specified.
I've seen this Blu-Ray set at my local Costco for $18.99 as recently as a couple of days ago. So if you have that option, you can save another handful of dollars and get it in person.
Is this the same one? 19.99 with free shipping.

I'm using Insert->Page Break to do just that, but thick black lines are appearing on the actual printed copy wherever I indicated a break. Can this be turned off?
I can confirm that this also happens to me in the default stylesheet. Perhaps you should contact firstname.lastname@example.com to file a bug report. As a workaround I suggest using cells with "\f" (form feed). Evaluate an input cell with it and copy the resulting output cell anywhere you want to have a page break.
If you wish to suppress the black line you can change this in the Style Sheet. For a particular Notebook choose Format > Edit Stylesheet... and paste this into the window:
Choose Yes if asked "Do you want to interpret the text?". Nothing will appear because the style is invisible (that's the idea after all) but it will have effect. Close the Style Sheet.
Linebreaks in this Notebook will now be invisible in the "Printout" environment (the default for printing and PDF export).
If you want to apply this to all new Notebooks you can create a custom Style Sheet and then change the global

Tonight I will be on a plane to NYC for a much needed vacation. As with most everything I do, lots of thought went into packing, the itinerary and everything having to do with this romp. I live to plan. You knew this, yes? Though I will be seeing a couple friends while on the East Coast, in addition to interviewing a rapper for a new series of mine, this is officially the first (and not the last) solo vacation I have planned for myself. It is an amazing feeling having worked hard on numerous projects over the past six months that have allowed me the luxury of a beautiful hotel, culinary adventures with friends and the ability to do whatever I want with my money.
So what to pack? I have learned with enough trips over twenty something years that comfortable shoes are crucial. Had to cop a new pair of Nike Cortez before I hit the mean streets – so that I look extra fresh – but my Nike Flyknits were not to be forgotten. Lots of leather as usual and my drop crotch pants as always. Finally found the perfect pair of luxurious sweats which I look forward to wearing with some nice gold pieces. Collar necklaces, 2 pairs of Karen Walkers and my Jil Sander leather shopping bag. I'm set. OK, there were a few more items I packed, but I figured they weren't blog appropriate.

The Olympics are still underway in London, but here in Michigan, a set of games just wrapped up.
The 2012 Transplant Olympics took place in Grand Rapids the last weekend in July, when local Reading teen and kidney transplant survivor, Laiken Davis, brought home a gold medal in golf.
Davis, 15, said he couldn't quit smiling while competing for the medal.
"I was excited to leave town and go somewhere new," he said.
His story begins eight years ago when it was suggested by a Hillsdale doctor that he have his kidneys checked.
"He was always dehydrated and tired," said his mother, Heather Davis.
A kidney donation by his father, Paul, was his saving grace, making it possible for Laiken to grow up like a normal teen, though contact sports are out of the question.
"He can't play football, which is what he really likes," Heather Davis said. "But, he has taken up wrestling and that seems to be something he enjoys."

Woodland makes the plays to reach Class S title game
WOLCOTT — There wasn't anybody smaller than Woodland's Joe Poeta on Joe Monroe Field at the end of Saturday's Class S semifinal. But there wasn't anybody who came up with a bigger pair of plays than the 5-foot-7, 150-pounder.
Poeta caught the game-winning touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter and intercepted a pass with 46 seconds remaining to propel No. 4 Woodland past No. 8 Bloomfield, 30-26, and into the Class S state championship game.
The Hawks (12-2) will face No. 2 Ansonia on Friday at 7:05 p.m. at Central Connecticut's Arute Field in New Britain.
Clinging to a 30-26 lead with less than 2 minutes left, Woodland decided to punt on a fourth-and-7 at the Bloomfield 47-yard line. Jason Rodrigues boomed his kick into the end zone, setting up the Warhawks (10-3) at their own 20 with 1:31 to play.
On second down at the 26, Bloomfield quarterback Norvel Stewart scrambled to his left and threw into double coverage deep down the left side of the field. Poeta, playing as a second safety, ran behind fellow defensive back Mike Kenney and snatched the game-sealing interception.
"I was just trying not to let anybody behind me," Poeta said. "He overthrew the receiver a little bit, and I knew I was coming down with it."
Woodland quarterback Tanner Kingsley had to stand helplessly on his sideline and watch as the final series developed.
"That's when I wish I played defense," Kingsley said. "I have so much faith in our defense and in our team, and I knew we would get it done."
Poeta's interception, his first of the season, came about 7 minutes after he made the biggest catch of his career. With Woodland holding a 24-20 lead early in the fourth, Bloomfield forced a punt from near midfield.
See HAWKS, Page 9B
Travis Thompson muffed the punt, though, and Zack DeBrizzi recovered for Woodland at the Warhawks 11.
Two plays later, Poeta ran a streak into the left side of the end zone, where he hauled in a 12-yard strike from Kingsley to make it a 30-20 advantage with 8:06 remaining.
"We ran a crossing pattern," Poeta said. "Mike (Kenney) took the defender inside and there was a big hole. Tanner threw a great ball."
It was Kingsley's fourth touchdown pass of the day and the 113th of his career, which made him the state's all-time record-holder. He finished 20-of-35 passing for 258 yards and no interceptions.
"Driving down the field, I kept asking my wide receivers who wanted the record-breaking touchdown," Kingsley said. "Everybody said they wanted it except Joe, and Joe is the one who came up with it."
For Woodland coach Tim Shea, Poeta's performance was the signature of the hard-working junior's career.
"He doesn't say much, and he doesn't look like much when you look at him," Shea said. "But when he puts that helmet and jersey on, his heart grows bigger. We needed him today and he did it."
Poeta wasn't the only player to step up for Woodland. The Hawks started without leading rusher Sean McAllen (concussion) and lost backup Coby Vaccarelli to a knee injury just before halftime. Even though Woodland took an 18-7 lead into the locker room, it was a precarious edge as the Hawks were left without an experienced runner.
Bloomfield focused its defense on taking away the passing game early in the second half and was effective until Taylor Tucciarone filled in at running back. The senior wide receiver, who caught seven passes for 109 yards and two scores in the first half, gave the Hawks a much-needed ground game and finished with 87 yards on 16 carries.
"The coaches believed in me," Tucciarone said. "I just wanted to run the ball hard. The offensive line blocked great. They don't get too much credit, but they were great. We have a lot of heart. If one man goes down, the next man has to step up. We never give up."
The Warhawks narrowed the Hawks' lead to four points three different times in the second half (18-14, 24-20 and 30-26) but never broke through despite Stewart's 240-yard, four-touchdown effort on the ground.
Bloomfield's best chance to turn around the game came early in the third, when the Warhawks forced Woodland into a third-and-25 at its own 22. But Kingsley found Jack Pinho on a fade at midfield to extend the drive, which eventually chewed up half the quarter and ended on Kingsley's 2-yard touchdown sneak for a 24-14 lead.
Woodland, which won its third game in nine days, is more banged-up than any team entering next weekend's state championships. But after Saturday's victory, Shea couldn't hide his emotions about his squad's effort.
"All the injuries, pain and hurt aside, you can't take away the kids' fight, drive, determination and straight-up belief that it was their turn," Shea said. "You can't measure that until it happens. I'm very proud of these kids. This is something they should never, never forget."

It looks like Abilene High will be in 6A, Cooper High will be in 5A and Wylie will be in 4A beginning next school year, according to University Interscholastic League realignment cutoff numbers released Monday.
Since six-man football is now classified as 1A, most schools will move up in their classifications next school year.
Abilene High reported 2,107 students on the recent "snapshot" day, which is above the 2,100 required to be in the new 6A (previously 5A).Cooper High reported 2,044 students on that day, which falls between the 1,060 and 2,099 in 5A (previously 5A).
AISD Athletic Director Jerry Gayden said the change likely will not affect who Abilene High plays next year, but Cooper may revisit some old rivalries since the school will no longer be in the same district as Abilene High.
"The relationship between the two schools, I don't think it'll change at all," Gayden said. "We'll continue to play each other in pre-season as we always have done before in the past when we've been separated."
The change does not only apply to athletics.
"Abilene High and Cooper bands will no longer go head-to-head," AISD Director of Fine Arts Jay Lester said. "That also goes for One Act Play theatre division. So they'll be in different conferences."
Lester said fine arts competitors can still face off at invitational.
There are no plans to appeal Abilene High's 6A classification, but Abilene ISD officials haven't decided yet if the district will appeal to attempt to get Cooper High moved from 5A to 6A. The district is looking at information and will decide its next step soon, Gayden said.
Wylie reported 1,003 students on that day, which falls between the 465 and 1,059 required to be in 4A, Division 1 (previously 3A).
Superintendent Joey Light said his only concern is the potential for increased travel.
"Increasing travel is just tough on everybody," Light said. "It's more than just the cost of the fuel and the wear and tear on the buses, it's the wear and tear on the coaches, the kids, and the parents that are traveling to these ball games."
The numbers that the UIL released Monday were conference cutoffs for 2014-2016 reclassification and realignment. The numbers provide the range of enrollment for 1A through 6A, including the divisional cutoffs for football.
According to the UIL, the 2014-16 alignments will be released on Feb. 3 for football and basketball. District alignments for other activities will be released in the order of their seasons, the UIL has said.
Conference Cutoffs
· 6A 2,100 and above
· 1A 104.9 and below

Latest trailer from the Beeb, here.
Besides being pretty creepy, it sure looks like this is a semi-continuation of the themes explored in the series four episode, "The Fires of Pompeii." Transmission date in the UK is a week from this Sunday and I think the US broadcast is in mid-December.

Most tube and pipe producers weld the seam as it is—without additives or fillers—and risk the problems associated with oxidation. A specially formulated brazing flux, in liquid or paste form, dissolves and removes oxides, prevents re-oxidation, and helps transfer weld heat to the seam.

5 Priceless Works of Art Destroyed by Unintentional Hilarity
#2. Ancient Greek Marble Statues Keep Getting Ruined by Tourists and Staff
Throughout history, Britain has celebrated an illustrious career of discovering new cultures and civilizations, and then stealing all their stuff. So it's still a point of contention whether or not Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin and Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, legally acquired a collection of statues and friezes from the Parthenon in Greece, or if he just took them when no one was looking.
The British Empire was built around pointing in one direction and grabbing everything while the other guy looked away.
To his credit, when he visited Athens in the early 1800s, no one was making any effort to preserve the marble sculptures. The Acropolis was being used as a military fort, and any statues that fell were reconstituted as building material. The Parthenon had even been used as a gunpowder store a century earlier, and huge chunks of it had been destroyed during an explosion. Elgin persuaded the Ottomans to let him remove the marble works of art and ship them back to England, where they could be preserved and cared for in the British Museum until the end of time.
So What Happened?
Apparently the British Museum never accounted for awful children or general human clumsiness. Despite the statues surviving Turkish attacks, the Venetian invasion in Greece and a massive gunpowder explosion that blew the roof off the Parthenon, they were having a hard time staying in one piece in one of the best museums in the world.
We've seen Warhammer models age more gracefully.
In 1961, a couple of English kids were on a field trip from Hogwarts or wherever when they got into a fight. One of them threw the other against a centaur and broke the statue's leg. To this day it can't be fully fixed.
Then in 1981, a workman on the roof lost his balance and dropped a skylight on the head of one of the other statues. Even the works that haven't suffered accidental indignities have been vandalized and decorated with graffiti, and one statue was broken beyond repair by thieves who were trying to steal lead from its hoof.
Wikipedia Commons
You don't want to know what they did to the body. Although, since you use the Internet, you can probably guess.
But possibly the worst damage of all was done by the museum itself. In the 1930s, restorers tried to clean the yellow stains on each and every sculpture with steel wool to make them pure white. In the process, they removed 2.5 millimeters from the surface, which doesn't sound like a lot until you realize it destroyed the finer details on every piece in the collection.

So we'll never know which one of these guys had the larger genitals.
#1. Picasso's The Actor Is Torn in the Name of Love
Pablo Picasso had so many wives and mistresses throughout his life, we can probably assume that he would have been understanding if he knew one of his paintings was accidentally destroyed by someone thinking about love. Or, at the very least, fornication.
At 23, Picasso was still at least vaguely interested in maintaining a sense of realism in his paintings. The Actor is a 6-foot-by-4-foot portrait of a stage performer, one of the biggest paintings he completed at the time and worth over $100 million today. At least it would be, if it didn't have a 6-inch gash in it.
In Picasso's day, it was traditional for actors to wear jumpsuits made from the flesh of fallen actors.
So What Happened?
By now it should come as no surprise that museums are some of the most hazardous places to keep art. Adding another to the list, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York was the scene of The Actor's destruction. A student attending an art class was examining the painting when she stumbled into The Actor, putting a long tear in the bottom right corner.
"Well, hell. Coloring it in with a pen didn't help at all."
But that's not the whole story. Just a day after the event, this message appeared on Craigslist's Close Encounters in New York:
"This was on Friday at the Met. I remember you from the elevator when we were going from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor. You were the guy wearing the red sweater... I held the door open for you and you smiled at me. I saw you again in the Cubism section. I was standing in front of The Actor painting by Picasso. You were looking at Matisse's View of Collioure and the Sea. You were standing there for a while, sketching in a brown notebook. I was about to approach you, but froze up and ended up tripping and falling into the painting leaving a small tear.
I think you left before the security got there.
If you read about this in the news the next day, I'm the girl from the elevator."
"It was a distractingly terrible sweater."
It's not clear whether the ad is real or not, but it certainly rings of sincerity ... and desperation. We can only hope that the art destroyer did finally hook up with that cubism-loving red sweater. Surely Picasso would have wanted a multimillion dollar disaster to at least culminate in a little sex.

The Linde mobile fueler allows customers to test the feasibility of using LNG as an alternative to fuels such as diesel.
Linde North America has reported a successful trial of its
liquefied natural gas (LNG) mobile fueling unit. The Linde
mobile fueler allows customers to test the feasibility of using
LNG as an alternative to fuels such as diesel.
Linde worked with C Cross Transportation, a Mississippi-based
hauler with a fleet of more than 100 tractors, to set up the
fuel supply for an LNG tractor the company is testing in South
The Linde team managed the logistics, arranged the
installation, deployed the equipment and supplied the needed
"As a major hauler, we were eager to test whether using LNG
is feasible, and we are very pleased with the results," said
Harrison Cook, president of C Cross Transportation. "The
Linde team focused on safety and training, and made the process
simple for our site personnel, which gave them confidence in
their ability to manage the system. Based on experience to
date, we expect to expand the test going forward."
The growing cost differential between diesel and LNG can
make it an attractive option that provides good payback over
the lifetime of the trucks.
"This test demonstrates the simplicity of our LNG mobile
fueling system, and it highlights Linde's commitment to service
and safety," said Douglas Bell, another Linde North America
executive. "Our mobile fueler has generated a great deal
of interest at trade shows, and we are delighted to report this
positive experience from the field."
Linde operates cryogenic plants and makes several million
deliveries of cryogenic gases annually. It offers the
technologies, equipment, supplies and services for a
comprehensive LNG fueling solution, including producing and
servicing mobile and permanent LNG refueling
Linde is also applying this expertise to build its own
LNG-fueled fleet by converting existing vehicles to LNG and
purchasing new LNG-fueled tractors.

St. C's Monteroso will sign with Purdue
It's a person's perogative to change his mind.
St. Clairsville senior Dan Monteroso had been committed to Boston College since early July.
The Eagles have since gone through a coaching change and Monteroso opened up his recruitment once again.
That changed Friday afternoon when he informed the newly hired coaching staff at Purdue University that he'd sign a National Letter of Intent to become a Boilermaker on Feb. 6, which is the first day seniors can ink their binding letters.
Monteroso had remained committed to Boston College up until a little more than a week ago. Hazel, who is a Muskingum graduate that's served as Kent State's head coach and as an assistant at Ohio State, and the Boilermakers recently paid Monteroso a visit to basketball practice and then to his home and made a scholarship offer.
"As soon as Coach Hazel got there and he called and offered," Monteroso said during a Friday afternoon phone interview. "After visiting with him, they were instantly a contender. The things that Coach Hazel believes in are the same things that I believe in, so we hit it off immediately and formed a good relationship."
The 6-3, 170 pound bundle of talent took an official visit to West Lafayette last weekend and this past week spent the day touring the University of Maryland at College Park before issuing his verbal.
"I really think if there hadn't been a coaching change (at Boston College), I feel like I'd still be going to B.C.," Monteroso said. "But, with the change, it just wasn't the spot for me and I decided to move on."
Comparing it to a 'bad break up,' Monteroso made the call to new Eagles' head coach Steve Addazio last week, informing him of his de-commitment. Boston College had recently hired Bellaire native Todd Fitch as its new wide receivers coach.
"It was a very tough call to make, but this is what I feel is best for me," Monteroso said.
Monteroso did confirm that he will sign his letter of intent on signing day, so he can get back to focusing on basketball and helping to try to lead the Red Devils deep into the postseason once again this winter.
"There's definitely a relief to have this process over with," Monteroso said. "It's been crazy, but I feel it's all been worth it. I am definitely happy and I know that I've found the place that I want to be and spend the next four years."
The Red Devils' wide receiver spoke highly of his visit to College Park for the Terrapins, but it just didn't fit him as well as the Boilermakers.
"I really liked Maryland," Monteroso said. "I had been to West Lafayette for a basketball event when I was a freshman and it's just an amazing place."
Monteroso, who will take part in the Ohio North-South Football Game, was a first-team all-Ohio selection last fall after helping to lead the Devils to a 14-1 record and a trip to the Division IV state title game.
Monteroso caught 68 passes for 1,483 yards and 17 touchdowns. He was the Eastern District Player of the Year along with first-team all-OVAC, Buckeye 8, all-Valley and all-Times Leader. He was also named the Big 22 Ohio Valley Player of the Year last month.
The future Boilermaker has been told he'll be given a shot to win a job as a freshman, which is what he intends to do.
"My goal is to get on the field next year," Monteroso said. "I am going to go out there, work hard and try to do that. Hopefully, i can. Coach Hazel has told me he's going to give me a shot and see what I can do."
The Boilermakers, who finished 2012 with a 6-7 record, will open their season on Aug. 31 at Cincinnati. The Boilermakers will host Notre Dame on Sept. 14 and welcome Ohio State on Nov. 2.

If your app has a bottom tab nav, and you want to open another page that has a contextual sub-nav, where do you place this sub-nav? How do you decide?
What you call "bottom tab nav" I recognize as the Tab Bar, described in the iOS UI Element Usage Guidelines. It is good reading.
1. Avoid if possible
I do not think apple has given a standard for sub-navigation menus. I guess some reasons are that
I would try to avoid sub navigation menus within a page.
2. Keep the recognition factor
I think the bottom toolbar used for navigation within an iPhone app is better off if it is kept static, than changing. The recognition of the same menus is worth a lot for the user who is trying to navigate, as it also serves as a form of breadcrumbs. Remember the Office menus that kept changing depending on how they where used? Breadcrumbs should not adapt like that. The documentations also says it "should be accessible from every location in the application".
I would try to keep the Tab Bar static.
3. No silver bullet
I can think of some examples of sub navigation menus in standard apps. But I guess it requires a case specific design and tweaking to make it just right. These sub-menu examples from the App Store app are very case specific. I think it is better to try to adapt to the content of purpose of the page, than to keep a silver bullet sub-Tab bar standard that should work for all cases.
Without the wireframe, I can only guess, but this is my suggestion to your problem. When your user press the second item in the bottom tab navigation I change the sub tab navigation to be displayed as an hierarchical one instead. To get to the top user have to push the << navigation item. Moving down the hierarchy user can choose Two A or Two B.

I hope this is what you mean since contextual menu on iPhone is only visible when user selects an item on the screen.

Oh, I know, I know. I know. Controversial blog title, about controversial (or just downright silly) movie/book/fan girl cult.
But it's that time of year where the tweens-and-their-mums come out to play. Specifically, to watch Edward do the dirty with Bella in a four poster bed on a tropical island (seriously? any more cliches, there, Twilight?).
I haven't seen the whole thing, BUT I HAVE SEEN BITS (capitalisation for emphasis, etc). Due to one of my many, many jobs taking place at a cinema, it was my lucky duty to be delivering food, drinks and blankets (yes, blankets) to patrons at my particular cinema. I was also privy to seeing Edward penetrate Bella at least five times in one night (the horror, people. The horror).
But in all seriousness, here are the parts of Twilight I have so far seen:
Part One: Bella's gloomy voiceover about how children grow up, there are kingdoms, and children live in them (or something to this effect). Meanwhile, I attempt to deliver a set of cocktails to some very squealy middle-aged women who nearly fall off their chairs when Jacob takes his shirt off).
Part Two: Bella's wobbling around in heels. Alice tells her she can't go barefoot (duh) and Bella then spends a few minutes staring at Edward's face. Already, one husband has left the cinema, and I'm not sure if he'll be coming back. His wife didn't even notice.
Part Three: IT'S THE WEDDING, OMG. Bella is worried she'll trip, or faint, or something. I'm struck by the fact that Bella and I are SO ALIKE because, she, like, is totally clumsy, and I'm so TOTALLY CLUMSY TOO, and GOSH, doesn't that just make me relate to her SO MUCH!?
Part Four: (I had to duck out of the cinema for a minute here, so I missed the Brazil action. When I duck back in, Bella and Edward are swimming. Nekked).
I'm in the middle of delivering some popcorn when I realise THIS IS IT. The bed breaking scene. One of my colleagues and I stand up the back, and proceed to giggle like a bunch of five year olds when Edward breaks the bed. Twihards turn and glare. We leave the theatre to fetch more drinks.
Part Five: Bella's woken up alone- Edward's gone to the mainland to 'hunt'. I'm not entirely sure how he got there- maybe he flew? Or did he take the boat and leave her stranded on the island? Either way, Bella is alone, and everyone in the cinema immediately yawns. They're not here for Bella. But suddenly, right at the moment I deliver some maltesers to two teenage girls, Bella decides to chuck her guts up. The teenage girls aren't impressed- that is, until they realise it's the part when Bella comes to the conclusion that she's PREGNANT.
As I deliver some more cocktails and lemonades down the front, Edward returns. He holds the same facial position and pose for about ten minutes as Bella waxes lyrical about her late period, and how it impossible it IS that she just MIGHT be PREGNANT. Finally, someone has the sense to call Carlisle, and the happy couple decide to return home, where Carlisle can "get that thing" out of Bella.
Part Six: (NB: Again, I had to actually go and do some work for quite awhile).
When I return to the cinema, ALL HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE. Wolves are fighting vampires, vampires are climbing trees, and someone down in the front row has spilt a drink all over themselves in excitement. As I try and mop up the Diet Coke they spilt in their lap, Jacob appears. Apparently he has "imprinted" on something, and they all need to stop fighting RIGHTNOW. Never mind that the 'something' is a baby who just killed his until-recent lady crush. Werewolf laws, people. Werewolf laws.
I exit the cinema again feeling confused. Luckily, I've read the books. I'm disappointed because I realise I've missed the all-important birth-via-vampire-teeth scene, which is entirely unacceptable as it's basically the entire point I was working tonight. I was happy to get paid and all, but really I was there to see Kristen Stewart get shredded by vampire teeth. Then I remember that I'll actually be seeing the film for myself next week, and I should probably save the gore for then when I go home and see the film with my sister, and we can cackle in an empty cinema in the middle of regional Victoria.
Part Seven: Bella's lying on a table. She's looking skinny and pale- so pretty much exactly like Edward. It's all VERY SERIOUS, though, because Bella is presumably dead. I say presumably because we all know she doesn't die.
Then, suddenly, we're inside Bella's veins, and cells are exploding, and her lungs are turning to ice, and everything is SPARKLY. And then we see Bella's hair changing colour, and her cheeks pop back out to a normal shape. And then the camera zooms in for the most predictable scene of the film (well, besides the one where Jacob takes his shirt off)- Bella opens her eyes, and THEY ARE RED, PEOPLE, THEY ARE RED.
If I actually gave a shit, at this point I would squeal. As it was, I settled for sighing and rolling my eyes so loudly the people in the next suburb heard me.
The only reason I can't wait to see this film? I am dying to see the part where Edward rips Bella open to herd out that vampire-baby with the abominably bad name of Renesmee (seriously, Stephanie Meyer? I think my five year old cousin would have thought that name was too cliche).
Bring the vampire foetus on.

I just got a NN5L. I will be mounting it on a Really Right Stuff BH-55 ball head. That is, I'll be using the ball head as a leveler. So I want to put an Arca Swiss style plate on the bottom of the rotator of the NN5L so I can quickly attach it to the ball head. It needs to br a RRS or Wimberley plate since the RRS site says that other brands don't work with their lever clamps. I would appreciate any advice on which plate to get for this purpose.
Edit: Another possibility is to use Fanotec's Arca Swiss style plate (ASQRP1). Can anyone give me its dimensions (I can't find them on nodalninja.com) and whether it works with RRS's lever clamps?
Edit: Changed message icon to the Question Mark to make it clear that I'm asking for help/advice.

However gnome-gpg was removed from universe in Ubuntu 11.10. Is there a replacement?

It should be enabled/running by default in Ubuntu and you should have this variable in your environment:
Unfortunately, I don't have enough information about your system and I cannot tell you how to proceed exactly. However I should have given you enough information to start investigating the problem. If you need more help, please tell me whether you have the package installed, whether the process is running, whether the socket exists and whether the environment variable is set.
I think on 11.10, installing seahorse-plugins should do this for you. And I think in 12.04 and newer versions, the gpg integration will be built-in. I used to have to install seahorse-plugins to make this work in older Ubuntu versions, but on 12.04 I don't have such a package installed, and the GPG integration is working fine for me.
Gnome-GPG won't be avaiable for Ubuntu soon, but you can download the last builds that were made:
