The Calvin Alumni Orchestra was founded in 1994 by former members of Calvin's student ensembles to allow adult musicians to continue to serve the community by sharing performances of classical orchestral literature. In 2010, the name was changed to the Calvin Community Symphony to better reflect who we are and who we serve through our music.
The orchestra is made up of a variety of musicians from the greater Grand Rapids and West Michigan community who share a love of performing classical orchestral literature. We hope to broaden our audience and increase our orchestra size by widening the door for community players and students to join us.
The orchestra is governed by a self-elected board and is supported by the alumni association, the department of music, and its own membership. The orchestra's members, who give freely of their time and talent, come from all walks of life. All share a common love of performing great orchestral literature from composers past and present, and an abiding respect for Calvin's educational mission and performing arts tradition.
The orchestra performs in the Calvin Covenant Fine Arts Center, typically twice a year on Sundays in November and March. Each concert is also performed at a local community venue. Information about past concerts can be found in this list of the orchestra's concert literature.

The famous Crofton formula says that the length of a curve can be calculated by integral of the `line crossing' over the space of all oriented lines. My question is, is there a way to treat this formula as a special case or corollary of the Radon transform theory? If so, how can we express the relationship precisely?
There is a paper here:
that develops a theory of "Gelfand Transforms" which in a sense made precise there is a generalization of both the Radon Transform and the Cauchy-Crofton formula.
You should definitely check these notes generated by three bright undergraduates for an REU project that I supervised a few years ago. I promise you, it will be worth your time.

As I've learned from this question,
[bracketed] processes listed by the
ps aux command are kernel threads. So is there a way to kill them from the command line? If not, I guess the reason for that is to save the user from a higher risk of getting a kernel panic, right?
You can not kill kernel threads, or any process that is blocked in the D state, because signals are only delivered when the kernel returns to user mode. Aside from the technical limitation of signal delivery, killing a thread in the middle of kernel code would corrupt the system as the kernel code may be holding an important resource at the time, such as a spin lock or mutex, and killing it would prevent those resources from being released.
If you have a process that is stuck in the D state for a prolonged period of time, then you have a kernel bug. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies for tips on reporting it.
Kernel threads are necessary threads created by your Kernel to manage your system.
Not all are necessary but all (most) all beneficial and require mostly no extra resources, there is no reason why one would under normal conditions think about killing a Kernel thread.
Linux Kernel can create an destroy those threads when necessary, you should not worry about them and killing under most circumstances is not something you can do.

Very Nice! So easy to cut and takes a wide range of embellishments. I used Silver Holographic paper & Crystal Stickles to frame, stencil, and add Starfish to our event intro page.
I really like the look of this paper!
Beautiful Paper............I am using it for a scrapbook of my son and daughter-in-law's beach wedding in Hawaii. The colors are even prettier than what you see on the computer.
This paper is awesome! I expected to get ordinary cardstock but this paper has a slick surface which gives it a lot of depth.
This is a really nice water flowing pattern on this paper. I love that it is the heavier weight and only one sided.

It's all go over here at the moment and having recently launched the Reference Series, there is another exciting project or two just on the horizon, not to mention some much-anticipated new releases from That Boutique-y Whisky Company*. With all this going on it's fallen to me to tell you a little about yet another exciting release – our shiny, new 10 year old blend!
Some people still get their knickers in a bit of a twist about blended whisky, persisting with some kind of Orwellian mantra of "single malt good, blended whisky bad", but blends can be absolutely marvellous, and many are. Indeed, we've been encouraging you all to try your hand at creating your own with our Home Blending Kits and Blend Your Own Whisky service for a long time now, and I covered the subject on the blog last year when I had a go myself. (Don't worry, I had nothing to do with this new blend!)

I know drawing Pon and Zi isn't all that difficult, but it's nice to know how one should go about tackling a drawing on these two adorable, sweet characters. Pon and Zi has always been one of my favorite set of characters, so I had a lot of fun recreating them in a step by step tutorial that will be easy to tackle and understand.

Live Design. Transform Life. Cape Town for World Design Capital 2014
Cape Town is on the shortlist for the World Design Capital 2014. It now stands alongside just two other cities – Dublin (Ireland) and Bilbao (Spain) – in the race to earn the World Design Capital title. The announcement is pivotal for Cape Town's reputation as a destination that has adopted design for transformation and social cohesion.
Cape Town Tourism is a proud supporter of the bid for World Design Capital 2014 and will be featuring a series of inspiring, design-focused blogs.
We sat down to chat with Iain Harris, MD of Coffeebeans Routes, tour operating company with a niche in creative and cultural urban experiences.
What makes Cape Town a great design city?
So many design problems means so many design solutions. It's a great place for designers because there is no shortage of design solutions needed for the city as an entity, and no shortage of natural, social and urban sites to provide the inspiration. It is a meditative city, with plenty of spaces of refuge, and that makes it an ideal creative playground.
How does Cape Town inspire your work?
This is a city where anything is possible, where life happens between the lines. It's a difficult city to pin down, it defies definitions. It's a city of interpretation. I love that. It inspires me on the one hand because so much is possible, and on the other because so little is changing. I am inspired by the need to work harder and faster, and the city this can be if that happens.
You have written for Cape Town Tourism before that the Cape Flats is the centre of Cape Town – not the fringe that the apartheid design intended the area to be. What inspires this thinking?
The Cape Flats was created as a dumping ground for black citizens. If we continue to see the area as that it's impossible to change both the mindset and the reality. By reimagining the Cape Flats, the townships, as the centre, or perhaps better as central rather than peripheral, it changes how we relate. The reality today is that Cape Town is a big city, and townships are not fringes, they are major nodes of life and business. By imagining them at the centre of the city we think differently about the resources that exist in them, we see differently the way they could connect to the rest of the city. I can imagine a Nobu in Guguletu, a Ronny Scotts Jazz Club in Khayelitsha, a Daddy Long Legs Hotel in Langa, a Waterfront in Manenberg.
The Coffeebeans Routes's Township Futures tour is all about showcasing the major transformations taking place in the townships. If you had to single out some of these projects, which would you urge all visitors to see?
People have to visit the Manenberg Waterfront. The project is developing slowly but steadily, built step by step by the communities of Manenberg. The land was donated by Consol glass, which has a sand mining operation nearby, and it is a prime site, on the water, with incredible –- and different – views of Table Mountain. It's an amazing example of civil mobilisation. It is envisioned as a leisure and retail precinct that acts as a buffer zone, drawing people from Manenberg, Guguletu, Lansdowne, Hanover Park and Nyanga.
There are presently no zones in these areas that draw all the neighbourhoods together, so the Manenberg Waterfront can play a pivotal role in geographic and social transformation in the area. Every time we visit there is something new. I can imagine this as a hub, together with the Athlone Tower Precinct and the Waterfront, creating unprecedented linkages in the city.
The other space is the Athlone Tower Precinct, another important buffer zone. Formerly a power station, the precinct separates Pinelands, Langa and Bridgetown, white, black and coloured areas under apartheid town planning, and still largely the same. The precinct has the potential to create an integrative zone where Capetonians can find each other across the boundaries. And, if the sewerage works across the freeway can be removed, an incredible urban park is waiting to please us. Part of the existing sewerage works is a green zone with lakes and ducks and it can be expanded and connected to the precinct under the freeway, creating a zone that is leisure, retail, gardens –- and attractive to everybody in Cape Town. What a treasure. These are some of the ideas that we like to present to people as part of the tour.
Where in Cape Town do you most see people reconnected?
Many might disagree, but the Waterfront is one such space. Canal Walk, too. Ironically the spaces of the greatest mass consumerism are the spaces that gather the most of the city's diversity. Which isn't to say that we find each other across our perceived differences, but it does create the opportunity for that. But what is important with these two precincts is that they are within the Cape Flats, where such spaces presently don't exist. And that they would attract all of Cape Town and not just the immediate neighbourhoods. That is crucial for the future of this city.

IE still uses images. You will need to use slicer.
10 Oct 2012 5:38 AM #4
Thanks for the reply...I am also unable to change the Panel Header background color.
Can you please post some sample / reference code? That will be v helpful.
10 Oct 2012 8:38 AM #5
In order to create a new theme and add support for legacy browsers (IE), you need to use images for gradients, rounded corners and so on.
There's a tool that you can use to generate the images for IE, you need to download and install the sencha sdk tools (http://www.sencha.com/products/sdk-tools/) and then execute the following command on your terminal:
sencha slice theme -d js/ExtJS -c resources/css/your-styles.css -o resources/images -m js/manifest.json -v

In this question, I first heard of opaque hotel booking sites. It sounds very interesting, but I don't know such a site. So my question is: Where should I start to look for opaque hotel booking sites?
An "Opaque" booking is one where you don't know the exact details of what you're booking until after you've made the booking. The most common form of opaque bookings are for hotels, but they also exist for flights.
There two general formats of booking sites for opaque hotels - those that work on a "bidding" concept, and those that have a fixed price.
Priceline was the first (and still best known) of the "bidding" types of sites. For their bidding site, you specify an exact date range, a general vicinity where you want to stay, a star range (eg, 3 star or higher) and a price. If your "bid" matches something they have available then you will "win" that hotel - however you will not be given an exact details of the hotel (including the name or exact location) until after you've placed your bid - and by that stage you are not able to back out of the booking.
Fixed price sites include Hotwire's Hidden Hotels, Wotif's "Wot hotel?", Travelocity's "Top Secret Hotels", Expedia's Unpublished Rate hotels, and many more. With these you are shown details of specific hotels, but without the exact hotel name, location or amenities. eg, you might be told it's a 3.5 star hotels on the Las Vegas Strip with a pool. Sometimes you can reverse engineer these descriptions back to a specific hotel (eg, for many countries simply Googleing the description from Wotif's hotels will let you work out the exact hotel!), but more freqently you are not given enough details to do so.
For both bidding and fixed price, the moment you make the booking you are given the details of the hotel - including name, address, etc. From that point you can't generally make any changes to the booking or cancel it - you'll be charged the moment you make the booking and it's non-refundable.
Almost without exception, booking a hotel via an opaque method will result in you paying less, but with the uncertainly that you don't fully know what you're going to get. You will also normally not earn any form of loyalty points/status when booking via an opaque channel (ie, frequent flyer points, hotel points, etc). There's a good explanation on why deals such as this exist in the answers to this question on opaque flight bookings.
There are a number of web forums, such as Bidding For Travel, where people share tips for booking opaque hotels, including details of prices paid and hints to help maps descriptions to specific hotels.
I googled "secret hotels" and easily found a bunch. Here are two:
The going rate seems to be a 50% discount, or so. This is steep, but will still not likely beat regular B&Bs, or AirBNB.

Lee County invites paddlers from around the world to explore the fabled bays, rivers, backwaters and shorelines of Southwest Florida. The Great Calusa Blueway paddling trail has been developed by Lee County Parks & Recreation and funded with tourist development tax dollars specifically dedicated to beach and shoreline enhancement projects.
On the Great Calusa Blueway on Florida's west coast, conditions range from the Gulf of Mexico's open water, through the bays of Sanibel and Captiva, and into sheltered mangrove creeks. The bird-watching is sublime, with dolphin and manatee sightings common.
Inspired by the indigenous Calusa, the Great Calusa Blueway encompasses three distinct regions of the Gulf of Mexico coast. The first portion of the trail meanders through Estero Bay, while the second segment centers on Pine Island and Matlacha Pass. A third leg of the trail takes paddlers inland to the Caloosahatchee and its tributaries.

When you design a test scenario or even when you run your tests and you stumble to lack of specifications from your marketing Dept. should you bypass them and take the initiative of making your own specs, or should you delay the deployment till you get a definite answer?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
You should talk to your marketing department and understand why they have no specification for that particular area and explain to them why it is important for specification to exist and that there cannot be any short-cutting in this area. You may find out that they lacked resources or were unsure about this area. Regardless of the reason you can help them out and you can both together write the specification for this.
I'm not a great believer in something being outside someone's job description, if there is something that needs done and you can help, then you should. A project will run smoother if you have this mentality. Just because you are in QA doesn't mean that you cant help out in roles outside your own.
If you choose not to write a specification and you are going to document the test cases for this area, then these tests will essentially be the specification. It's is worth getting the marketing guys involved here to make sure that what you are testing is correct and the behaviour you have assumed is correct . Do not create the test cases on your own, you don't own the product and cannot make these decision of how the product should behave.
We never start with clearly written, complete, unambiguous, mutually-consistent specifications, and sometimes we start with nothing but an untested product. You can't test without some kind of model of what the product should be. You should ask yourself how important it is for your model to match the model in the heads of the rest of the company, and your answer should drive how you proceed.
Personally, I read whatever is written down, if anything, and draw a diagram of the product's entities, relationships, inputs, outputs, and constraints, in as much detail as I think I need in order to test. As I draw the diagram, I run into things I don't know. I make a list of questions, and when the list is long enough, I ask people until I find the answers. The final result isn't a specification, but it is enough to drive a test plan.
Getting clarification on specifications should be the correct move in my opinion. Consider what will happen if you choose your own specs; you could spend a considerable amount of time going in a direction that may turn out to be entirely different than what the business had in mind.
The QA process does include requirements / specs review (feasibility review, standards review etc) but a QA specialist should not be involved in the actual gathering / creation of the requirements.
Having said that, it's also not a very good idea to assign the process to a marketing dept., marketing people should of course generate ideas but those ideas should then be transformed / translated to specs.
So, to answer your question: Initiative is good, but overstepping the boundaries of your job description is probably not. QA skills may be closer to what's required than marketing skills, but still not close enough.
That of course is a generic view, and it may not apply to your specific situation. The "best man / woman for the job" principle transcends department titles and if you strongly feel that you can better the process (and can prove it to the decision makers), then what you should do is involve yourself in the process in an official role.
Requirements / specs are too important to the creative process, and its crucial to not let them become a bottleneck.
This is so tricky - either one is a good solution depending on the situation.
So then if you take the time to talk with the stakeholders and flesh out the specs, what happens? Do they say "Wow, you were very thoughtful and thorough! Let's answer these questions so we can move forward with the project!" Or, do they tell you "Wow, you're wasting more of our time with these trivial details? Can't you just go do your "computery stuff" and let us get back to work?"
I've seen it both ways (okay, not marketing, but does it matter who made the poor spec? :-) and I've been treated both ways.
I try to find a delicate balance of the two. For small changes, I don't waste their time. I use previous examples to make a best guess about what they really want. For bigger changes or contradictions in the spec, I PROPOSE a solution and send it to them for a stamp of approval. I also send them a list of the small changes I took the liberty of making. Hopefully they get back to me in time before it ships if they want it changed.
Also, before I start work on a project, I identify things that need to be clarified and send them to the analyst before doing any development. (I know you're doing test scenarios, not application development, but I feel the same rule applies.) Then I try to work around those grey-areas until I am forced to put it on hold or bite the bullet and make some changes.
< personalRant justification="I hate it when people do this to me">
Some developers I know play "gotchya games" with the analysts to cover their own backside. They'll send a request for clarification, but they'll hide some of the main points. Maybe they're broken up in sentences in the middle of a paragraph or something like that, or you put two requests in the same bullet point in the email. Please, please, please don't do this.
It's not always intentional, but the end result is the same: they miss the request for clarification on a particular issue, so you miss out on what they had to say, the product ships without the clarification (and is usually wrong) and it comes back to you. Then you say "Well, I sent it to the analyst and he didn't seem to be interested in it. Not my fault he didn't think it was a big deal."
It works in the short term to get the "blame-hogs" off your back when something goes wrong, but the long term effects are drastic: Poor relations between your team and the analysts (as if it isn't hard enough getting information!), the product's reputation with customers suffers (and you may even lose some customers if the issue that went live is bad enough) and if it happens too many times, management begins to notice a pattern about you, especially when it happens with multiple analysts.
< /personalRant>
tl;dr: make what decisions you can, and communicate the ones you can't. Keep them apprised on your situation, and listen to what they have to say. Try to keep relations between your team and the analyst/marketing/business team (or any team!) as good as you can; it makes it better for everyone at the firm!

Weldcraft 22 Select
22 ft
Boat Details
Hull Material
Hull Shape
Modified Vee
8 ft 6 in
Dry Weight
3400 lb
Fuel Capacity
93 gal
The Select series is a spirited workhorse that never stays put for long. Having the reputation as one of the best whitewater boats ever built, Weldcraft's Select series has a hull specifically designed to master the roughest conditions. It will take extreme punishment. The bottom lifts the hull so it climbs standing waves, then cushions the descent without taking water over the bow or "bulling" through the next roller. On plane, the Select will gracefully cross shallow water a mere 8" inches deep. Both the 22' and 24' lengths are built on ultrawide 84" bottoms that are .190" thick. A 12-degree bottom vee is standard. You can opt for more power, but the standard GM Vortec 6.0 liter V-8 coupled to a Hamilton 212 jet pump provides the optimal power to weight ratio. Standard configuration includes a welded frame top, slider side windows, and Pilot suspension seats. Partial or full hardtop available.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Marge from had more comfortable shoes The top of the boot rubs above my ankle making it uncomfortable and painful at times, hopefully it will soften with time. I will keep them and work with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by daydream from This is a very comfortable pair of heels considering I can wear it all day without being too tired and I usually can't even stand walking more than an hour in high heels. They are good for wearing in the winter because there are shafts, although not tall (which is also important as tall shafts would make them less formal). All in all a great pair to have for business/business casual wear in the winter.

Rated 3 out of 5 by SellingManagerNY from Attractive & comfortable shoe, that wears terribly I initially purchased these boots in January 2013. After wearing them at work for less than 2 months, the right shoe began to squeak with each step that I took. I took them back figuring that they were defective, but then the 2nd pair had an issue with the sole peeling away from the boot at the toe. I got the 3rd pair as a replacement in March, only to have the heel wear down to the nail within less then 4 months of wear. I had the sole replaced at a shoe repair store, and they've lasted. These shoes also squeak (although not as bad as the first pair) and the heel is not very sturdy. When I walk, I can feel it flex back and forth....I'm pretty sure that one day it's just going to snap the sole in half. I'm surprised that the heel flexes like that when I walk...I'm not heavy at all so I can't imagine that Rockport allowed this style to sell without recalling it for poor craftsmanship/design flaws.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Frosty from Comfortable! These are the most comfortable booties that I now own. I also bought the brown pair. I have difficulty finding comfortable shoes with a heel, so I am very please with the purchase. The toe is a bit rounder than I like, which makes them look a little casual, but all in all, I love these boots!

As Butler Community College works to ensure student success, certain goals must be met.
During Tuesday's Board of Trustees meeting, executive director of research and institutional effectiveness Dr. Gene George presented results from goals established in the 2010-2012 Kansas Board of Regents Performance Agreement.
Butler met or exceeded its target in eight of the 10 performance indicators.
The 10 performance indicators evaluated were:
• Increase student success in pre-algebra as measured by percent of students earning a C or better.
• Increase student success in fundamentals of algebra as measured by percent of students earning a C or better.
• Increase student success in intermediate algebra with review, as measured by percent of students earning a C or better.
• Increase the number of adult education students at BCC who enroll at Butler as new students.
• Increase the number of participants in professional institutes (targeted non-credit training programs).
• Increase the number of minority participants in workforce skills training.
• Increase number of Hispanic students from South-Central Kansas enrolled full time at Butler.
• Increase spring-to-fall retention of Hispanic degree-seeking students attending Butler.
• Pilot placement testing for sophomore Hispanic students in area high schools.
• Retest Hispanic students as they progress through high school.
The two targets not met during 2012 were increasing student success in pre-algebra as measured by percent of students earning a C or better and increasing spring-to-fall retention of degree-seeking Hispanic students.
Because of the high percentage of goals met, Butler is eligible to receive its full share of any new state funding that might become available.
The Trustees approved the report, which will be submitted to the Kansas Board of Regents by March 1.
In other business, the Trustees:
• received a report from interim president Dr. Karla Fisher.
• approved the conversion of an Internal Auditor position to an Accounting position.
• approved a policy review timeline.
• approved a payment of $16,178.82 to the Educational Facilities Authority.
• accepted the retirement of Martha Gregg.
• accepted the retirement of Janice Jones.
• heard a report on the Division of Behavioral Science, Math, Science and Physical Education from Dean Lori Winningham.
• held a budget work session.
• recessed to executive session to discuss non-elected personnel.

Regarding the bacteria found in Mono Lake, CA that scientists believe uses or can use arsenic in its DNA backbone where life as we know it uses phosphorus (according to their experiments depriving the microbes of phosphorus and providing much arsenic), have researchers conjectured and tested whether the energy currency molecule used is also arsenic-based instead of ATP?
I'd have to agree that it's highly improbably that the GFAJ-1 strain used nucleoside triarsenates as an energy source. There are three main lines of evidence pointed out in the Science reviews that were published after the initial publication of the paper.
All in all, there's a reason why life chose phosphorous instead of arsenic. Although both elements have ions with a propensity to make ester bonds, maybe arsenic just doesn't fit into our anthropocentric view of what life is.
This is a cool topic/question.
To answer your question. The hypothesis was based on the conjecture that there was so little phosphorus in the culture medium that phosphorous would have been replaced by arsenic in all its roles in the cell. IF they had found arsenate DNA, it would have been derived from NTAs (nucleotide tri-arsenates) or a hybrid Phosphorous/Arsenic analog of the compound as DNA polymerase consumes NTPs to create DNA. If there were only NTAs to drive DNA biosynthesis, then the cell's energy cycle would also have had to use ATA.
The primary evidence was that the mono lake strain grew in a fermentor (culture) with lots of arsenic (which is impressive) and very little phosphorous. how little? 3 micromolar. The investigators say that they did add a little phosphorus (3-5 micromolar), which, after some more careful accounting, appears to be enough to keep the bacteria growing at the observed rate without using arsenate nucleotides (submitted to Science).
This is not completely surprising as the original publication in 2010 of a preliminary finding in Science Express which only had x-ray abosorbtion fine edge spectroscopy work consistant with an arsenate like that found in a phosphorus backbone. Given that they did not produce a more direct reading of the compounds such as mass spec or an NMR experiment, this looked pretty iffy in the first place.
You an see why arsenic life was so improbable - a dozen (or more) vital pathways in the cell would have to adapt to use NTAs - pretty much all at once. If they had I suspect Mono lake would be full of those suckers.
Its sort of a bummer, for those of us who want to discover new forms of life, but you can't find what isn't there.
In my mind, this is definitively debunked in episode 32 of This Week in Microbiology. In short, no, GFAJ-1 does not use adenosine triarsenate as an energy currency, nor does not seem to incorporate any arsenic in its genetic material at all. One of the two well written answers above deserves the accepted status, but I thought I'd draw your attention to a scientific discussion behind this work.

What is the definition of Textbook RSA?
What are some of the properties of textbook RSA?
How does it differ from other RSAs?
What is the definition of Textbook RSA?
What are some of the properties of textbook RSA?
How does it differ from other RSAs?
Textbook RSA:
Choose two large primes $p$ and $q$. Let $n=p\cdot q$. Choose $e$ such that $gcd(e,\varphi(n))=1$ (where $\varphi(n)=(p-1)\cdot (q-1)$). Find $d$ such that $e\cdot d\equiv 1\bmod{\varphi(n)}$. In other words, $d$ is the modular inverse of $e$, ($d\equiv e^{-1}\bmod{\varphi(n)}$).
$(e, n)$ is the public key, $(d, n)$ the private one.
Signing and verifying messages is also defined (omitted for brevity).
Some (Undesirable) Properties of Textbook RSA:
Differences with Deployed RSA:
In no way is my list comprehensive, but hopefully this helps.
RSA is both an encryption and signature function. I have heard the term "textbook RSA" used mostly with the encryption function, but the same basic principle applies to RSA signatures as well. It is essentially RSA without any padding.
There is no canonical definition of textbook RSA (e.g., does it include restrictions on choosing safe primes or not?) and so it may differ by context, but it is what is called "plain RSA" on the Wikipedia article. Since Wikipedia evolves, also see these slides from Dan Boneh.
Textbook RSA has no semantic security, therefore it is not secure against chosen plaintext attacks or ciphertext attacks. This is because, respectively, it is deterministic (encrypting the same message twice produces the same ciphertext) and multiplicatively homomorphic (an encrypted values can be multiplicatively modified under encryption).
The main alternative to textbook RSA encryption is RSA with OAEP. This variant is semantically, CPA-, and CCA-secure. RSA+OAEP is randomized and has no homomorphisms. OAEP itself is a second generation padding scheme, the first generation only providing semantic/CPA-security for RSA.
RSA signatures can also be padded. RSA with PSS makes the signatures randomized.

First one I'm not sure what you are requesting.
Second one, you can use store.filter method to filter locally and then pass params when you load the store to filter remotely.
Third one, you can try to insert dom elements in.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

I am new to WordPress and I've seen this term passed around.
"Shortcode" is a user friendly way of inserting various WordPress plugins/scripts into a page without having to know a lot of fancy HTML/JavaScript/PHP in order to make it happen.
Take, for example, embedding an mp3 file into a post on a hosted WordPress site. Instead of having to setup the proper code for a flash player or fiddle with some fancy JavaScript, you can use the following shortcode in the editor. You don't even switch to HTML mode...
...and WordPress does the rest for you.
You'll find a lot of plugins for WordPress (such as Contact Form 7 and others) use this convention.
Not long ago i posted a nice explanation: Shotcodes because its shorter! It covers in short:

These are WordPress.com specific shortcodes, but they give you an idea of the power of using them.

text: ECMO What is ECMO? Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO, is a revolutionary treatment that actually oxygenates the blood outside of the body, supporting the heart and lungs when they cannot function normally on their own. Think of it as a heart/lung bypass that can be done right at a patient's bedside, allowing the lungs to rest and giving the body time to fight the infection. Saving lives with ECMO Tom's story: Saving lives with ECMO Life-saving care for all ages There are certain types of illness or injuries that can make even a healthy person so sick that he or she will rapidly die. Many of these people can survive if they receive treatments that are available only in specialty centers. For patients with profound lung failure and certain types of heart failure, ECMO (or "extracorporeal membrane oxygenation") is such a treatment, and Legacy Emanuel Medical Center/Randall Children's Hospital is such a specialty center. ECMO is a complex process; it functions as the patient's heart and lungs outside the body when the patient's own lungs and/or heart fail. Legacy offers this type of therapy to patients of all ages, from infants through childhood and adults. We are also able to provide this life-saving technology to patients in other hospitals and then transfer them from those hospitals to Portland, where we care for them with our experienced teams. Doctors and providers go here to refer a patient. Learn about using ECMO for children Learn in-depth about lung failure and the use of ECMO When is ECMO used? ECMO is used to treat patients with conditions resulting from Respiratory failure (often called Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome or ARDS) Pneumonia Traumatic injury Near drowning Sepsis Shock Our providers Jonathan Hill, M.D., medical director, adult ECMO Andrea Hoogerland, M.D., medical director, pediatric ECMO, Randall Children's Hospital Award-winning care Legacy's ECMO program has earned the ELSO (Extracorporeal Life Support Organization) Award for Excellence in Life Support. This award signifies that our program has been recognized as a "distinguished leader in critical care" and provides high-quality, state-of-the-art care. The ELSO Award of Excellence is recognized by US News and World Report and Parents magazines as a criterion for top institutions. According to ELSO, our program "demonstrated extraordinary achievement" in patient care, training, collaboration, education and communication. A dedicated team uses ECMO against H1N1 flu Perhaps the only thing more incredible than ECMO technology is the dedication of the Legacy team who works with it. Case in point: During the H1N1 virus (swine flu) outbreak, patients in southern Oregon needed immediate ECMO care and the Legacy Emanuel team sprang into action. A National Guard helicopter was summoned to Emanuel, loaded with medical personnel, nurses, and critical gear, and flown to Medford to help transport the patient back via specially equipped ambulance. Legacy staffers drove their own cars down to Medford to pick up medical personnel — and as soon as they returned to Portland, they turned around and did it again. All along the I-5 corridor, hospitals were standing ready with emergency oxygen tanks in case the team needed them. Both patients came home and fully recovered with their families. Their recovery is both a testament to the power of ECMO technology — and the lengths we're willing to go to for the lives of our patients. Patient stories Dozens of patients a year undergo life-saving treatment at our ECMO Center. See Tom Trautman's story. ECMO for Providers Learn more about ECMO Refer a patient

An early offensive and some late free throws helped the Syracuse-Dunbar-Avoca boys' basketball team to top Louisville 68-54 in a sub-district rematch between the two teams on Tuesday at Johnson-Brock.
It was Louisville that enjoyed the lead at half and entering the fourth quarter of the first meeting. S-D-A used a fourth quarter scoring explosion to overcome the deficit and score a win.
On Tuesday, the Rockets got out of the gate quickly in scoring a 17-8 lead before going to half up 35-21.
The lead grew to 40-21 in the second half before the Rockets grew a bit complacent offensively. And the Lions made their push.
Louisville got the Rocket lead reduced all the way to three at 51-48.
To its credit, the S-D-A team got back on the attack, scored a couple of buckets on dribble penetration, then found their way to the free throw line to seal the win.
"I put it in the starter's hands. It was their game to win or lose," said Coach Mark Hrabik. "We stepped up to the line and knocked down our free throws."
S-D-A, which has been hurt by free throw difficulties this year, finished 25-of-31 on Tuesday. Tim Parde was a perfect 10-of-10 on the game, while David Moss was 8-of-9.
Scoring leaders for S-D-A were Moss, 19; Turner Moore, 15; Parde, 14; Nick Herman, nine; Riley Stubbendeck, six; Tyler Farley, three; and Jayce Cameron, two. The leading scorer for Louisville had 22 points.
With the win, the Rockets advance to play in the sub-district final against Falls City at 7 p.m Thursday at Johnson-Brock. The certainty of the schedule is a bit up in the air due to the impending snow storm, which is expected to begin sometime Thursday according to the latest models.
If snow forces the game off the Thursday schedule, look for a 7 p.m. Friday tip, or, if necessary, a Saturday afternoon start.

Basically my situation is where I jump from machine to machine (about 3 of them) to do development. I have used No Machine in addition to Synergy to try and fix my issue. What I basically want is dropbox, ubuntu one, rsync, etc. to sync up all my files as well as config files (parameters for apache, php, mysql, etc).
Does anyone know if this is possible? Is there something equivalent to portable apps for linux in where things are installed in my local directory then on the other machines I can just use symlinks to point to these files?
I am open to suggestions, it's just a pain having to replicate the same config when I jump machines or having to remote in as I want my local machines processing power for development.

I have several Google accounts. In products like Gmail or Calendar I see my address on the top right corner and when I click on it I can switch to other accounts I'm logged in with. But in Google analytics there's no such a thing. It seems Google analytics just picks the default account and shows me that. Is there a way to switch accounts in Google analytics without logging out from the other accounts?
Google Analytics, among some other Google products, does not currently support account switching.
Why don't you use the profiles feature of chrome. Create two profiles, one for each gmail id. When ever you try to change a profile, the new profile will open in a new chrome window where you will be logged in as that profile.
The Google answer page for creating a profile still seems to show the old method where you had to create profile directory manually. Here's an alternate with a video. http://www.skipser.com/500

I was just looking at the list of Stack Exchange sites and noticed that WPSE has the lowest percentage of answered questions (besides StackApps): 79%.
Does that just mean that we get the highest number of drive-by askers?
I was just looking at the list of Stack Exchange sites and noticed that WPSE has the lowest percentage of answered questions (besides StackApps): 79%.
Does that just mean that we get the highest number of drive-by askers?
I think one of the reasons for this is there are 3 different types of Wordpress users:
User A: has setup a WP blog and is getting along fine just dropping in plugins and themes, however, he actually knows nothing about PHP and only very little about HTML/CSS. As soon as a plugin goes wrong or doesn't do something he needs to do, he asks a question.
User B: Is a web developer, only uses WP as the majority does (he could make own platform but no need to re-invent the wheel). User B can easily answer user A's questions as they are simple. However the WP core is complicated and messy, and User B does not have the time/need to delve into the core. User B asks question regarding core functions and custom plugins which only very advanced users could answer...
User C: Is a die-hard WP developer, as much as a developer as User B, but specialises in WP and knows a lot of the core and hooks off by heart, maybe he's has his own plugin. User C rarely asks questions and can answer User A and B's questions with little research, but they are few and far between.
Sadly, the issue with this branch of SE is that user A is the majority due to the low entry level of Wordpress.
Would an increase in moderation help tidy this up and encourage a larger audiance to participate? How do the other stack sites deal with,
Lately I have noticed when I click a question I often have no idea what the person is asking.
Maybe we need something like this for WPSE, http://blog.superuser.com/2011/05/02/how-to-get-answers/
I guess the question is, would the more experienced users become more involved if there was less fluff and more interesting stuff. And how do the other stacks deal with this.
I think that, given our scope, we will have to accept that we will get a higher percentage of users who are "drive-by" - who ask one question, and then never return. Such users would naturally be less likely to mark an answer as "accepted".
Of more concern are users with multiple questions and corresponding low (or zero) accept rate. Those users should be expected to learn the WPSE MO, or should have subsequent questions ignored.
I'm sure this question/problem isn't unique to WPSE. How do other SE communities handle it?
Some ideas (mostly for brainstorming purposes; I don't know if any are particularly good or bad ideas):
I am not sure which definition of "answered" that table is using, there are two definitions of unanswered:
There are different issues that contribute to these piling up:
I think Stack Overflow site tries to deal with some of this by having personalized home page that feeds you questions that need answer and in line with your interests. But it's been implemented while back and doesn't seem to be extended to other sites in network.

FileBench ported to Mac OS X
By schmidtm on Mai 29, 2009
I recently ported the benchmarking utility FileBench to Mac OSX. The chief attraction of FileBench is, that one can define the I/O operations put on the filesystem in something called the "Workload Definition Language". So - it's not a fixed benchmark, burden the system with the very same load pattern over and over again but an amazingly flexible Software which can simulate various workloads like file servers, databases, web servers etc.
FileBench was created by Richard McDougall who is a Solaris and Systems programming guru and one of the authors of the famous Solaris Internals book. More information about FileBench could be found at the official touch base here. FileBench is now included in OpenSolaris. Take a look here for the sources. There is also a SourceForge-Version landing page for sources which build on Linux.
Here's an example, how this definition language looks like:
On the FileBench homepage and in the distributions "workloads" directory one can find many more examples how to write these definitions.
Here is an console-log of loading and running the varmail benchmark:
$ /opt/filebench/bin/go_filebench
I've created a Diskimage including an Apple Installer package which installs the software into /opt/filebench. Just download the image file and you could install the program in an Apple fashion:
As a next step the process of creating the Mac-version from the OpenSolaris sources should be automated like this:
Here's the first version of the script, the skeleton and a set of patches to automate this.

Let f(x) and g(x) be two functions defined on some subset of the real numbers. There are two definitions for $f \in o(g)\mbox{ as }x\to\infty\,$, according to Wikipedia:
- $$\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=0.$$
- for every $M > 0$, there exists a constant $x_0$, such that $$|f(x)| \le \; M |g(x)|\mbox{ for all }x>x_0. $$
I was wondering if the two definitions are equivalent? Can it be possible that the second one is more general than the first one in that the limit of the ratio may not exist?
- Similar questions for $f \in \omega(g)$ and for $f \sim g$?
Thanks and regards!

Wayki (using BasicDialog)
Wayki is a geographic message board, that allows you to post items such as photos, items for sale, places, events and other things on a map. By posting on Wayki you can share information about your local geographic area with other people around the world, or browse your area to see what's around.
We use the BasicDialog as a floating window over a Google Map. The BasicDialog works perfectly for our needs, the tabs being one thing that we really had issues with using other types of windowing widgets. We also use the YUI based Carousel component (http://www.billwscott.com/carousel) for uploading and viewing images.
Have a look around and feel free to post things of interest on Wayki!

That looks really sharp.
FYI, I'm not sure what version you are running, but the latest version will handle the z-indexing of the active dialog for you.

Yes, very cool.
The "Window" menu needs to put tick marks against the menu options when the window is already visible...

Lovely work. I really missed the mouse scroll feature to zoom in/out though... Its probably on your list but I just saw this too http://ajaxian.com/archives/prototyp...on-eventwheele
1 Dec 2006 5:47 AM #5
Herm, that's been built into the yui-ext event object for ages.
If you use mon() or addManagedListener() instead of standard yui on/addListener on an element, you get back a YAHOO.ext.EventObject which has a method getWheelDelta() which is normalized across browsers. You do need to register for both events (DOMMouseScroll, mousewheel) like the prototype version.

Sheesh... sorry . I do read the doc but I need a class browser!

very sharp. very busy too!! wow. soo many js and css files dude. wow. hock:
4 Dec 2006 6:33 PM #9
@jack - Thanks! That's great to know about the latest version, I'll have to check that out
@Animal - Thanks! Will definitely put that on the todo list. There are a few interface things that I've been working on in the last couple of days, and that's a good one.
@Herm - Google might have a built in way (with their API) to do that with the mouse scroll button. I'm not entirely sure. The yui-ext one sounds good. The only thing about mouse zooming is that it seems to happen pretty quickly, and (at least the way things work right now) it would probably do too many AJAX calls at once. But... that's a good one to go onto the feature list! And I think I can definitely get around any potential issues of too many AJAX calls by timing it out a little bit.
@sjivan - Those are the prototype windows that I previously used before I put in the yui-ext ones. You can find them here: http://prototype-window.xilinus.com/. I still use it because of one thing that it does (it's able to load a separate web page in the window) but I think I can get around that by using an iframe. We'll be using yui-ext for all of our window type stuff from now on.
@djilquidice - Yep... there's quite a bit. Once they're loaded things run really quickly. Eventually I'll try to consolidate a lot of the files to make it quicker
And thanks everyone for your input... I'm hoping to get another update out a little later this week which should have some interface improvements.
4 Dec 2006 9:13 PM #10
Chris - regarding the mousewheel and the issue of
it would probably do too many AJAX calls at once...
If your application is sensitive to selections, you may want to implement a buffering mechanism using a DelayedTask object so you are not executing lots of updates in succession.

Eletha Wilson said she has seen a lot of changes in Leavenworth since she was a child.
The lifelong resident of the city celebrated her 100th birthday Monday. And Leavenworth Mayor Laura Janas Gasbarre proclaimed Monday as "Centenarian Eletha B. Wilson Day."
Wilson was thrown a surprise birthday party Monday at Hillcrest Manor, where she's lived since 1981. She's said to be the first resident of the facility, which offers housing for senior citizens and people with disabilities.
Wilson said she was so happy after being surprised with the party that she hardly knew what to say.
"This has been a blessing," she said.
Wilson said living in Leavenworth when she was a child was like living in the country.
"Leavenworth has changed a great deal," she said.
Family members said Wilson lived on Third Avenue while growing up.
Shirley Miller, who is Wilson's daughter, said her mother has never smoked or drank alcohol, and she's never had major health problems.
In addition to being a lifelong resident of Leavenworth, Wilson is is lifelong member of the Sunflower Missionary Baptist Church. She also recently was honored by the church.
Miller said one of her mother's former classmates turned 100 last month.
"They graduated high school together," Miller said.
In addition to reading a city proclamation Monday, Gasbarre presented Wilson a key to the city.
"This is a great day," Gasbarre said.
The mayor also was asked to read a letter from President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama that honored Wilson.
"We are grateful for your contribution to the American story," the Obamas stated in the letter.

Looking for a lightweight, durable and good in rain 2-3 person tent.
Any suggestions? I would like to keep it under $150. Two person is preferable.
I also need to use it inside.
12 Answers answer
I am not sure what you are looking for but I am not lightweight, but I am durable and good in rain person. : /
Quick edit it to add tent!
@caffeine_dude: I might just love you then.
I have a REI Camp Dome 2, but honestly I'm even looking for something lighter than that (that is still in tent-style, not bivy sacks or tarps).
Good luck! :) I hope that helps a little.
Okay, call me an idiot, but why do you need to use a tent inside? Does your roof leak?
We just got the Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 2.1 Tent for a great deal off of Steep and Cheap. We haven't used it yet, but seems to be excellent quality. It is a tighter 2 person, we'll most likely sleep head to toe, but it has 2 doors and 2 vestibules, should be adequate for our bags. Comes in around 4lbs without the foot print. We're taking it out this summer for a week long backpacking trip.
Definitely go with 2 doors, and 3 person for 2 people. My two person is tiny (although light) and not comfortable for two larger males. I have the Alps Zephyr 3 and I have been digging it. Good for the summer and got a wicked deal on the steep and cheap ($75 I think). Good luck!
I am not sure on the tent, as we have a Eureka Copper Canyon for my husband, me and my danes. It is really big and heavy. We use hammocks for for backpacking.
What I have to add is: McNett Tent Sure will keep the tent floor and sides water proofed. We also use Camp Dry on the kids tents, and it works well with Seam Sealer.
I think the Camp Dry was cheaper at the Academy by me then anywhere else, last time, but you can check. They even carry it at WalMart along with seam sealers -most work well enough, but the tape kind is a pain.
Good Luck and have fun out there.
Alps Mountaineering Equinox 2 tent, or the REI brand Half Dome tent. http://www.rei.com/product/794296/rei-half-dome-2-plus-tent
Great thing about REI is the return policy for a purchase like this. I have used the REI Sierra Dome tent for years now without issue. Even slept in it on the snow this weekend, it was plenty warm and waterproof.
@barnabee: Because we have people staying over and I thought it would be funny to setup a tent for them.
I will use it for outdoors but I wanted to use it for housing someone before I use it outside.
@prettywootprincess: Well, I guess that's one way to keep guests from overstaying their welcome!
Last summer, I bought this tent expecting it to be a cheap walmart tent: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-3-4-Person-Tent-9-X7/16199935
Surprisingly, it is a good tent for the money. Two out of the three times we went camping last summer, it rained. We huddled five people in there during a massive thunderstorm, and while it was definitely not comfortable, we all stayed dry. We've never had problems with more than the occasional drop or two that would sneak in. I never bothered to waterproof the seams, so if you were to seal them it would probably be even more watertight. Do yourself a favor and buy higher quality tent stakes than the ones that come with this one (or most tents, really) because you're going to be shaking your fist when you try to stake it down in dry ground. I wouldn't suggest it for more than 3 people.
Plus, I keep it in my basement when we're not camping because it's a fun place to take a nap: (that's a twin mattress in there)
If you're looking for a general camping tent that you are not going to be backpacking with, I suggest the Coleman Sundome 9x7. It has been my staple tent for years (Well, I've been using the original 7x7, but the 9x7 gives room for 2 with gear.). $69.97 at Campmor
If you're looking for backpacking lightweight, then I suggest the Eureka Apex 2. It reasonably comfortably fits 2 and when split between two people is very very light. We used this on a 50 mile hike along the Appalachian Trail in 2007. $94.97 at Campmor or the larger fly Apex 2 XT for $139.99 at Campmor or the three person Apex 3 XT for $159.97 at Campmor
BTW, Campmor is an Awesome reputable dealer I've been using for YEARS!

Currency Mobile Cart with Lateral Drawer
by Turnstone from Steelcase
At A Glance:
This is the sort of office storage that caters to those of us whose mothers yelled at us for having piles of stuff all over our rooms when we were younger. The Currency Mobile Cart from Steelcase's Turnstone collection is a great solution to keep the piles in your office organized. Lateral file drawer below helps you keep track of your files, and the top is for all the stuff you're working on.
What's To Like:
It's useful - this file storage cart is where organization meets messiness. You know exactly what's in all those piles, and you're saving time by keeping them out instead of in a cabinet. The open top shelf is what really stands out. It enables workers to do what they do as efficiently as possible.
What's Not to Like:
It comes with the wheels detached - but then again, why would you want a mobile cart that arrived with broken wheels? They're relatively easy to attach, and your piles will be rolling in no time.
The Bottom Line:
This lateral file cart is perfectly suited to match the Currency collection and meet a specific need. Have a stack of files on your desk? The Currency Mobile Cart will help you organize them.
- Overall: 25 3/8" h x 30" w x 19 3/8" d
- Internal Depth at top: 18"
- MDF construction with laminate veneer

- Lateral file drawer with handle or bar pulls
- Optional lock available in black ember chrome or polished chrome

I enjoyed the interior LEGO lighting I saw at Brickcon 2011. How does the lighting system affect the fit of the LEGO elements involved?
Considering the new PF lights are more compact at the point where the light is, I would say it's easier to integrate in creations. They do have a big block on the cable where the two lights are separated, but that leaves you more liberty compared to previous 9V lamps for which you had to have the cable connector on the lamp itself, which took quite a lot of space.
As such, you may be able to fit PF lights in tighter places, and have less constraints on the orientation (I'm thinking ceiling light with the bulb directed downwards, for example).
By the way, that's an area where a lot of LEGO fans are more willing to toss purism aside and use their own leds and cabling, which can easily be done without damaging a single brick, takes less place, and usually costs less.
