As soon as we arrived at this Koreatown sports club with a reputation for affordable but incredible body treatments we were whisked away to the spa's common treatment area. As we lay naked on the table, our aesthetician (who was wearing, oddly, a bra and boy shorts—we assume because of the room's heat) attacked our skin with a textured hand mitt, shampooed and conditioned our hair, massaged our scalp, and applied grated cucumber to our face. A rubdown with mineral oil left our scoured skin smooth. We were put off by the spa's low-budget lotions, but we couldn't argue with the results.
Los Angeles: Body Treatments
3680 Wilshire Blvd.
9641 Sunset Blvd.
As hotel guests flip-flopped past us on their way to the pool, we checked into the hushed spa with its ivory leather club chairs. After a steam and sauna, we climbed onto a heated massage table lined with sheepskin. There our therapist used brisk strokes and a grainy scrub to exfoliate us all over before applying a tingly firming mask. After rinsing off, we stretched out on two rows of hot stones. The warmth penetrated our muscles while our therapist rubbed various serums and creams right down to our feet. They call this hotel the pink palace; we certainly felt like royalty.
9201 W. Sunset Blvd.
Lulur Day Spa
Maria Thomas
642 ½ N. Robertson Blvd., West Hollywood
A Buddha sits at the door of this tiny day spa, which takes its name from a beauty ceremony for Indonesian brides-to-be. Our aesthetician Thomas rubbed away dead skin with a grainy tumeric-and-rice mixture and removed the yellow stain with full-fat yogurt. After soaping us with jasmine oil, she began a deep, 35-minute massage using jasmine-frangipani lotion. Stripped of our itchy winter skin, we left with a body so smooth it gleamed. Too bad the only aisle we'd be walking down that night was at the supermarket.

Jodi Barmash
8622A W. Sunset Blvd.
When Charlize Theron and Renée Zellweger crave pampering but can't spend all day at the spa, they come to Ole Henriksen for the 5-Step Body Treatment, "a little of everything in an hour and 15 minutes," according to aesthetician Barmash. Our session began with hand-and-foot reflexology, followed by a shoulder-and-scalp massage. After a thorough mineral scrub, Barmash smoothed a creamy body mask from our neck to our toes and left us dozing in a cocoon of Mylar. We emerged with glowing skin...and a much more mellow attitude toward the traffic on Sunset.
8622A W. Sunset Blvd.
8622A W. Sunset Blvd.
Our mind had been overloaded lately, so we were thrilled to discover our treatment started with serious head pampering. An acupressure-point scalp massage released tension, and then a hydrating orchid conditioning treatment was applied to our hair while reflexology took care of our feet and hands. After an invigorating full-body salt scrub, Swedish strokes with a lavender-scented body oil and a gentle pressure-point face massage using black-currant oil sent us home silky, stress-free, and very clear-headed.
9882 S. Santa Monica Blvd.
We had been feeling a little out of sorts, so we checked in to this spa for its healing gemstone therapy. Our therapist invited us to choose a body polish (we liked monoi-and-gardenia) and an oil infused with gemstones (we picked emerald, which promised "stability and strength"). Then she got to work, scrubbing our back, legs, and arms. Next, we succumbed to a full-body massage performed with the vetiver-scented oil. When it was over, our aura was as sparkly as our skin.
17401 Ventura Blvd.
The Spa Soleil Treatment asks a lot (for one, you've got to show up three days in a row). The first session was a blur of exfoliation, thermal wrap, and self-tanner. The next day we lounged under the "Niagara," a tunnel of water that turns muscles to mush, before another round with the tanning spray. And on day three, we graduated to a tinted self-tanner. Apparently, the treatment that asks a lot also delivers a lot: Our well-basted bronze lasted a month
415 N. Crescent Dr.
When we booked the Lymphatic Drainage Body treatment, we knew it was official: We're gluttons for punishment. The owner touted it as an alternative to liposuction, saying it would eliminate toxins and tighten flab. The treatment came in two parts: something they called "Vacuomobilization," to suction the surface of the thighs and smooth out the skin, and "Pressotherapy," to tone. While the Vacuomobilization just plain sucked (imagine being pinched repeatedly by big rubber suction cups), the Pressotherapy was surprisingly invigorating: Warm boots tightened around our legs (like a blood-pressure cuff on the arm), and we immediately felt our circulation buzzing. We didn't lose inches (that takes up to five sessions), but our legs looked firmer.

You may be feeling very protective of your belly and baby. The belly almost acts as a beacon to other people, making them aware that you're pregnant. It's not unusual to feel quite vulnerable, for example in a jostling crowd or when you're out shopping. When this happens, make it clear to people that you're pregnant and, hopefully, they'll give you more space and give up their seat, if necessary.
When you're driving, you may find you're doing so even more carefully than normal, or becoming a very nervous or critical passenger. You may become more irritated than usual by people who you feel are driving without concern for your safety.
This protective instinct is a natural part of becoming a mother. It's the desire to protect and nurture your child, even before yourself. Rest assured, though, that your baby is in the safest possible environment inside your uterus. Your body is providing your baby with warmth, food, and oxygen. The baby is cushioned and protected by the amniotic fluid in which he floats, and this acts as a buffer to any shoving or bumping by crowds of people.
In pregnancy some women develop a form of diabetes known as gestational diabetes, which disappears when the baby is born. It may be suspected if you have signs such as fatigue and thirst and is confirmed by testing urine for glucose. If it's found, you'll be advised to have an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between 24 and 28 weeks. You'll be tested earlier if you have a BMI over 35, a close relative with diabetes, or had diabetes in a previous pregnancy.
The idea of hypnoBirthing – giving birth in such a relaxed state that you barely feel pain-sounds too good to be true. But the research extolling its benefits is impressive. Several studies have shown that self-hypnosis helps women feel less anxious about labor and birth. They also tend to require minimal pain relief and medical intervention: many women succeed in giving birth at home.

An environmental advocacy group says one of the largest employers in our area is the biggest water polluter in the state.
A newly released report by "Environment Texas" claims Sanderson Farms, a company that processes and packages chickens for delivery to supermarkets, dumped 1.5 million pounds of toxic chemicals into Cottonwood Branch creek in 2010. The creek is near Sanderson Farms and runs through the southwest corner of downtown Bryan.
"Sanderson Farms discharges nitrate into the water which can be harmful to infants if it gets into the drinking water," said Luke Metzger, director of Environment Texas.
The environment advocacy group says it looked at data from the Environmental Protection Agency to compile their report.
"We monitor that water and monitor the discharge two or three times a week," said Mike Cockrell with Sanderson Farms.
Sanderson Farms produces a lot of chicken waste. When processed, the waste produces ammonia naturally. Exposure to high levels of ammonia can cause permanent damage to the eyes and lungs, but Sanderson Farms says that ammonia is treated at their plant, and the clean water is then dumped into the creek.
"We make sure we stay well below or way above their standards," said Cockrell.
For the past 10 years, Sanderson Farms has not been in any violation with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, so we asked the advocacy group why their clean record isn't reflective of their possibly contaminated water.
"Unfortunately these companies have a lot of political power here in the state of Texas," said Metzger.
Environment Texas is planning on getting lawmakers involved in regulating water ways like Cottonwood Branch Creek.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality released this statement:
"While we cannot comment on claims such as this without knowing specifics on how the data was manipulated, we can say all permitted discharges to Texas waters meet both state and federal guidelines and are protective of human health and the environment."

Let $M$ be a factor, and let $\phi:M\to M$ be an irreducible endomorphism ("irreducible" means that the relative commutant of $\phi(M)$ in $M$ is trivial). Let's also assume that $\phi$ is not invertible.
Is it possible to have $\phi\circ \phi$ conjugate to $\phi$?
In other words, is it possible to have an endomorphism $\phi$, and a unitary $u\in M$, such that $$\phi(\phi(x))=u\phi(x)u^*,\quad\forall x\in M.$$
If this is possible, I would like to see an example.
Note: an answer to the above question would also settle this question.

I have read that we can charge a capacitor using a battery, but can the vice versa happen? My project needs to show a battery being charged through a fully charged capacitor.
Crazy Buddy's answer and related comments have made the point that you could indeed use a capacitor to charge a battery, but the amount of energy stored in capacitors is generally less than in batteries so it wouldn't charge the battery very much.
However there is a new generation of capacitors called ultracapacitors that are being developed with electric cars in mind. See for example this blog or Google to find many such articles on ultracapacitors. It seems likely that if the technology ever makes it into electric cars it will be as a combination of a battery and an ultracapacitor. Since most cars use regenerative braking, the energy generated by the braking would be stored in the ultracapacitor and would then recharge the battery. So this would be an example of using a capacitor to charge a battery.
Let's take your question in my thought...
For instance, let us assume that we've got a capacitor of capacitance about some $100 \mu F$ and Also, a commonly used $\text{Ni-mH}$ battery of some voltage $1.5 \text V$ with charge capacities about $2000 \text{mA-h}$
Energy of the battery would be $E=1.5\times 2000\times10^{-3}\times3600$ $$=1.08\times10^4 J$$
I really bet ya that a common capacitor of some micro-farads won't charge upto that energy.
A single Maxwell (for instance) BCAP0350 2.7v ultra capacitor that's about the size of a D cell has a capacity of 1300 Joules (1.3 x 10^3 J).
It is extremely useful to use ultracaps to charge batteries if the nature of the power source is intermittent and high current (say, at 35 to 175 Amps, also within spec of the one I listed).
Ultracaps have cycle lives in the millions, not the tens or hundreds like various battery technologies.
All you need to charge a battery from a capacitor is to have more voltage charged on the capacitor than the voltage of the battery. The size will only affect how much time the capacitor will charge the battery. If you could charge the capacitor over and over and discharge it into the battery every time it was full it would eventually fully charge the battery.

Obama Looks Back as He Plots Next Term
President Studies Predecessors' Second Inaugural Speeches While Weighing Which Policies, Themes He Will Champion
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama and his staff have been taking cues from some of his predecessors as they plan Monday's Inauguration Day speech and the course of his second term.
White House aides have been reviewing the second inaugural speeches and State of the Union addresses delivered by former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Mr. Obama has been consulting historians about Dwight Eisenhower, seeing similarities between his own desire to cut the military budget and the Republican president's skepticism toward new hardware.
Obama aides say the inaugural address will lay out his goals and vision for a second term, while the State of the Union speech that follows soon after, on Feb. 12, will detail specific policies he wants to enact: stricter gun controls, an immigration overhaul and a reduction in the deficit, among them. Aides say he will strike an optimistic tone in his inaugural address and reprise themes that defined his political career, likely saving more confrontational talk for the State of the Union.
Mr. Obama will use the inaugural to discuss "how our political system doesn't require us to settle every single debate and resolve all of our differences," said Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to the president. "We have to work together to find common ground, and there's a role for everyone to play. Americans can continue to make their voices heard, and that's the best way to influence Washington."
In Their Words
Compare how often presidents used selected words in their inaugural addresses.
Mr. Obama, who aides say has been writing passages of the speech on a yellow legal pad, will discuss how the country's "founding values and principles" can serve as a guide in a changing world, senior administration officials said. The address won't offer new ideas, they said, and Mr. Obama will spend little time rehashing the past four years.
He will encourage Americans to get involved in the challenges facing the country as Washington leaders look for solutions. That is a contrast to how Mr. Obama operated in his first term: Aides say he is determined in a second term to focus not so much on the inside game in Washington, in which he tried to persuade lawmakers to pass bills in direct negotiations, but on mobilizing public opinion.
Aides say Mr. Obama will make a point to travel to Republican-leaning states to pitch his agenda—a change from his first term, when he almost exclusively visited states that leaned Democratic or were important to his re-election, except for natural disasters and crises. White House officials believe Mr. Obama's first term showed he was most successful when he took the case for his legislative priorities directly to voters.
Mr. Obama's advisers want to keep the speech short—the president's first inaugural address was under 20 minutes—as some aides believe his speeches benefit from brevity.
Mr. Obama takes the oath of office in a private ceremony at the White House on Sunday, in accordance with the Jan. 20 date laid out in the Constitution. Public events are Monday, as is traditional when the official date falls on a Sunday.
Mr. Obama has given considerable thought to how he would like his second term to unfold.
Last week, he hosted a private dinner at the White House for a group of presidential biographers and historians. During a conversation that ranged from his postpresidential library to themes for the coming State of the Union address, Mr. Obama made clear he saw useful lessons in Mr. Eisenhower's second term, which ran from 1957 to 1961, according to several people who were at the meeting.
Mr. Eisenhower resisted pressure to spend more on military hardware and warned of the dangers of the "military-industrial complex" as he left office. Mr. Obama also has called for a leaner military and a rethinking of the Pentagon's approach to changing global threats.
History shows that second terms can be tough to navigate. Richard Nixon was toppled by Watergate. Mr. Clinton faced impeachment over his relations with Monica Lewinsky.
Even before his second term opens, Mr. Obama's plans were sidetracked by the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn. Now, he has committed himself to tightening gun restrictions, something his staff had concluded was a political impossibility before the tragedy and remains a tough sell even now.
"Whether it's hubris or thinking they have more wind at their backs than they really do, invariably, second-term presidents overreach," said Ken Duberstein, who served as chief of staff in Ronald Reagan's second term. "They have a grand agenda—some of which is tilting at windmills—and invariably second term presidents go into a ditch."

(Tyler Barrick/Getty Images)Nothing can be decided in the NFL until teams take the field in September, of course, but often contenders are separated from pretenders during the span from the start of free agency until the close of the draft.We'll hit that portion of the calendar on March 12, when the free-agent market opens. From there, teams will have about six and a half weeks to get their houses in order before the three-day NFL Draft.The teams that contend consistently do their best work in this approaching window. And those that attack free agency most competently know that the trick is not simply to spend, but to spend well.So, which players will wind up paying off as smart acquisitions this offseason and which will lead to buyer's remorse? A look at 10 potential bargains and 10 possible busts from this year's free-agent class:BargainsVictor Butler, OLB: With the Cowboys sliding to a 4-3 defense, the pass-rushing Butler was an odd man out, and that might be another team's gain. The 25-year-old Butler has been just a backup thus far -- the 300 snaps he saw action on in 2012 marked a career high -- but there is reason to believe he could handle a starting gig.Brad Jones, LB: Jones, like the rest of the Packers' defense, probably was at his worst in the playoff loss to San Francisco. Still, he started 10 regular-season games for Green Bay in 2012 and finished with 77 tackles (third-most on the team). Jones also graded out as the Packers' fifth-best defensive player last season on Pro Football Focus. Jones is versatile enough to be valuable in just about any scheme.Israel Idonije, DE: At 32, Idonije delivered 7.5 sacks in his eighth season with the Bears -- and did so on a tidy $2.5 million contract. "He's done a number of good things and had a number of good games both outside and inside," Chicago GM Phil Emery said during the combine.Fred Davis, TE: Coming off an Achilles injury, Davis may wind up back in Washington. But in a league that increasingly values productive tight ends, Davis could be a nice, affordable signing for a team willing to roll the dice. He had a 59-catch, 796-yard season in 2011, while playing just 12 games. If Davis can stay on the field, he'll put up numbers.Josh Cribbs, WR: Cribbs finished third in the league in kickoff-return yardage last season and caught a mere seven passes, so maybe he's strictly a special teams player now. I still think there's more in the tank elsewhere -- and if Cribbs lands with a team creative enough to incorporate him into the offense, he's still young enough (29) and athletic enough to hit a few home runs.Sammie Lee Hill, DT: While all the focus on the Lions' D-line fell on Ndamukong Suh, Nick Fairley and others, Hill quietly went about his business for the past four seasons. He really thrived in the previous three, after shifting to more of a part-time role following a 2009 in which he started as an overmatched rookie. Any team needing some interior line help would be wise to consider the 331-pounder.Greg Toler, CB: Toler was a top-15 cornerback in coverage last season, according to Pro Football Focus, ranking three spots ahead of teammate Patrick Peterson. Of course, Toler played only 308 snaps and missed all of 2011 with an ACL injury, so he would constitute a gamble as a starting CB. But, if his play is any indication, a worthy one.Corey Lynch, S: The Chargers signed Lynch away from Tampa Bay prior to 2012 looking for little more than depth at safety and some special-teams help. Lynch provided that, then delivered steady play as a starter late in the season after Atari Bigby fell with an injury.Mike DeVito, DE: You could make a case that aside from a healthy Darrelle Revis, DeVito has been the Jets' most consistent defender for the past four seasons or so. Capable of playing in either a 3-4 or 4-3 defense, DeVito should find a home as a starter.Donald Thomas, G: The Patriots will miss Thomas if he leaves -- he stepped in and started seven games last season, after fighting for his roster spot during camp. He's an athletic interior lineman, so he might appeal to teams that utilize some zone-read principles.BustsAndre Smith, OT: Smith was my first pick in SI's Free-Agent Mock Draft earlier this week, so I don't exactly anticipate his performance falling off a cliff next season. But teams must be wary of a player who carries questions about his conditioning and work ethic, then shines in a contract year.Jermon Bushrod, OT: A Pro Bowl tackle in 2011 and 16-game starter each of the past three seasons, Bushrod has developed into a very solid tackle. The problem is he might be looking for top-tackle money -- and he would be hard-pressed to repay that kind of investment.LaRon Landry, S: Not only did Landry somewhat surprisingly make it through 2012 without missing a game, but also he managed to notch a Pro Bowl bid. How confident will teams be that either situation will repeat itself? Landry reportedly wants $6 million per year on his new contract, which would put him among the top six or seven highest-paid safeties.Michael Turner, RB: This all depends on the level of commitment made to Turner by his new team. If he winds up with a role suiting his current skill set -- i.e. a part-time back capable of grinding out some short yardage -- then he won't warrant a spot on this list. Any team hoping against hope that he's capable of carrying the load as a No. 1 back will be disappointed.John Abraham, DE: Another veteran ex-Falcon ... and Abraham's situation is not dissimilar to Turner's. Abraham, who will be 35 in May, led the Falcons with 10 sacks and 38 QB hurries, both strong numbers. So, it's a bit of a red flag that they cut him anyway, despite a rather reasonable $4.25 million salary. Abraham can still produce but, like Turner, will only be worth the cost in the right situation -- for him, one that lets him pass rush while seeing limited action on first and second downs.Sean Smith, CB: The potential is there for Smith to be a shut-down cornerback in this league. We even get to see that level of performance from time to time, like when Smith picked off two passes in a Week 4 matchup against Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals. Why he's here, though, is that Smith frequently falls into bouts of inconsistent play, and that won't pair well with the lucrative deal he's sure to get.Bryant McKinnie, OT: McKinnie lost his starting job in Baltimore back in training camp and only regained it in time for that magical playoff run. The 33-year-old veteran certainly deserves kudos for stepping up in crunch time. That said, McKinnie was benched prior to that for a reason, and he's on the downside of his long career.Mike Wallace, WR: It's understandable to have major questions about Wallace, who, on paper, probably is the jewel of this free-agent class. That standing combined with a plethora of teams in need of a No. 1 receiver means Wallace will get paid. He often appeared unmotivated last season, though, so what will his mindset be once he cashes in a monster paycheck?Aqib Talib, CB: Talib played an integral role for the Patriots late last season, and his postseason injury clearly helped lead to the team's demise. Talib, 27, revitalized his career after arriving in New England. But he still has a lot of off-field issues on his resume for a player that likely will command a hefty deal. Charles Woodson, DB: How much does Woodson have left in the tank? Based on his play in an injury-plagued 2012, not much. Woodson needs to be willing to take on a reduced role in 2013 and any team that signs him must accentuate his strengths. Otherwise, Woodson's career could have a very disheartening final chapter.

Public sector needs no 'defense'
The state's snow-plow drivers and first responders are doing a heroic job in the face of a herculean challenge. We are all grateful.
Every time it blows or snows, someone rises up to "defend" our first responders and emergency-services workers. But who is attacking them?

BRIDGEPORT - The week between Christmas and New Years is usually a pretty busy day around the Post Office.
Thursday afternoon in Bridgeport was no different.
However, the hub of activity around the village post office, didn't include those wishing to get some end-of-the-year mailing finished, rather uniformed police officers, emergency medical personnel, volunteer firefighters and a bomb-sniffing dog from the Muskingum County Sheriff's Department.

THE?BRIDGEPORT?Post Office was the victim of a bomb threat Thrusday afternoon. A bomb-sniffing dog scoured the building but no bomb was found. During the threat, traffic was re-directed around the restricted area at several different locations.
According to Bridgeport Police Chief Andy Klotz, a bomb threat was called into the post office, located on the corner of South Lincoln Avenue and Howard Street, at approximately 2:35 p.m.
Klotz said a male caller phoned the post office and said, "There's a bomb in the post office and no one is to leave." He then hung up, Klotz said.
"There were two employees in the building at the time of the threat," Klotz added. "Both of them were evacuated."
They were reportedly both taken out of the building via a back entrance. No one was injured.
"We are taking all the precautions necessary to make sure the area is safe and secure," Klotz continued. "Citizens living in the adjacent neighborhood have been advised of the situation and were urged to leave their residences."
At 3:30 p.m., Klotz said he was awaiting a bomb squad from Zanesville to arrive and make a sweep through the brick structure.
"Once the area is determined to bomb-free, we will start looking at where the phone call originated," Klotz added.
A bomb-sniffing dog from the Muskingum County Sheriff's Department arrived at the scene shortly before 5 p.m. The dog searched the structure and the property surrounding it but no bomb was found.
During the threat, traffic was re-directed around the restricted area at several different locations. Given the location of the post office, this was no easy task.
Bellaire Police Chief Mike Kovalyk was stationed at the corner of Bennett Street and South Lincoln Avenue directing traffic south on Lincoln from Bennett, which is a one-way street heading east. Traffic was also re-routed onto Hall Street and then onto Dekalb Street before being detoured onto Bennett.
The 100 block of Howard Street was shut down, as was the alley running between Howard and Bennett streets.
One resident of Bennett Street likened the increase in traffic to "a parade-like" atmosphere.

[2.x, 3.x] ext-basex/$JIT Adapter extensions
ext-basex 4.0 available.
ext-basex 3.0 (and above) is now available on Google Code (SVN).
A demonstration of ext-basex/$JIT in action.
License : GPL 3.0
The attached script file adds:
- new lib.Ajax features (some were already available here( in localXHR.js)
New config options (can be passed down from a higher level (ie. Ext.data.Connection) implementation.):
async : true/false, // Synchronous Request support.
userId: 'JohnDoe', // HTTP Authentication available on each request
queue : {name: 'chat', priority : 1 } //dynamic queue creation
Ajax Requests can also be made without a web-server (ie local file systems) via HTTP-Status-200 emulation.
Ext.lib.Ajax joins the Ext Event system (implements util.Observable). The following events added:
request - (cancellable) Raised just before any passed headers, post content have been serialized.
beforesend - (cancellable) Raised just after all headers, parameters, and content have been serialized and just before the XHR.send occurs.
response - (cancellable) Raised after any response is received, but before any of the success/failure callbacks are made. (Use this to intercept each response for debugging, etc)
exception - (cancellable) Raised after any non-successful HTTP status is recieved, but before any of the other internal success/failure callbacks are made.
abort - Raised any time a forceful abort is issued
timeout - Raised any time an asynchronous request times out.
readystatechange - Raised each time the XHR objects' readyState changes
status:n - Raised anytime a specific httpStatus is returned by the requested server
onStatus/unStatus Event methods. Specific HTTP Status codes may be trapped via cancelable eventListeners. Returning false from an onStatus Handler prevents further function calls/events from being made by the Ajax request stack.
Ext.lib.Ajax.on('status:403', sessionTimeoutHandler, myApp);
For IE7, optionally force the older ActiveX XMLHttpRequest implementation (permits local file access for IE7).Code:
Ext.lib.Ajax.forceActiveX = true;
Replaceable Form encoder support. The Form-POST/Parameter encoding function may be changed at runtime to support non-standard (other than the default: encodeURIComponent) character encoding/encryption:
Ext.lib.Ajax.encoder = escape; or Ext.lib.Ajax.encoder = myEncoderFn; //function that returns an encoded string
Proper library placement is key. In order for lib.Ajax to get Observable support, ext-basex.js must be placed after the ext-base.js adapter and the Ext javascript module that provides Ext.util.Observable. For most installations, this will be either ext-all[-debug].js or ext-core.js. Including it before these modules (although fully functional) will not permit lib.Ajax to generate the events described above.
HTML Code:
<head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Your Page for ExtJs 3.0</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../resources/css/ext-all.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="../adapter/ext/ext-base.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../ext-all.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../ext-basex[-debug].js"></script> <!-- or (not both!) both ext-basex and JIT: --> <script type="text/javascript" src="../jitx[-debug].js"></script> </head>
var log = Ext.log; var AjaxDebugger = { request: function( connection, method, url, callback, postData, options ){log(['request',url,postData]);} ,response: function( connection, response, callback, isAbort) { log(['response',response.responseText]);} ,exception: function( connection, response, callback, isAbort) { log(['HTTPException', connection.fullStatus.statusText ]);} ,abort : function(){log('Request was aborted');} ,timeout : function(){log('Request timed out');} ,readystatechange : function(connection){ log('readystatechange', connection.conn.readyState);} }; Ext.lib.Ajax.on(AjaxDebugger ); Ext.lib.Ajax.suspendEvents() / resumeEvents() to suppress/enable events.
lib.Ajax Request Queues. Ajax requests can now be made with named queues; each with specific execution priority. See this post for more details.
Global forEach iterations:
forEach([1,2,3],console.log); or [1,2,3].forEach(console.log); //Gecko already has the later form. forEach(object,console.log); "This is a test".forEach(console.log); or forEach("This is a test",console.log); //character enumeration
-- adds Ext.clone(deep) method. Clone anything (string, number,date, arrays, even complex objects)!
-- new Array prototypes: atRandom, unique, map, include, filter, compact, flatten, forEach, clone
[Update] 10/28/2009 -- ext-basex 4.0 and $JIT 1.2 are now shipped with debug versions, jsb2 build support, and Ext Core 3 compatibility.
Detect HTML 5 Capabilities:
Ext.capabilities object (singleton) reports detected browser capabilities:

license question
Does buying developer seats for one version give you access to the other versions.
For example, we recently updated to 3.0 of ExtJS, so updated to 3.X of basex. We need to buy developer seats before we make a customer delivery, but I see that basex vs. 4 is out. If we buy licenses to 4, do we by default also have licenses for 3?

Hello together, I need help with this library add issue to ExtJs:
This is what I am using:
ext-base.js (extjs 3.0)
When I try to use infovis which is in JIT JavaScript, I get this error:
ReferenceError: $jit is not defined
I would like to use ExtJs 3 with JIT for making some nice visualization. I tried Raphael.js and it is very nice but there isn't many examples in the internet like InfoVis where I found so much stuff about this.

Cars with high-tech, connected edge
|Sync and AppLink give the 2012 Ford Fiesta an impressive techie edge, while the body design and decent fuel economy lend to overall practicality, but the car does not punch above its class in comfort. (Ford/MCT)
People used to looking up an address on a smartphone can now do it right in their car's dashboard, then save that address to the navigation system.
Other apps that can come in handy on the road, as deemed by these automakers, bring up Internet radio, social networking and, of course, dinner reservations.
2012 Audi A6 Premium Quattro
CNET rating: 4.5 stars out of 5
The good: Navigation enhanced by Google, a touch-pad cabin tech interface, a supercharged direct-injection engine, an eight-speed transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive combine to make the 2012 Audi A6 one of the most cutting-edge cars on the road.
The bad: Audi's routing algorithm does not do a very good job of avoiding traffic jams. Only the top trim level offers branded audio systems.
The cost: $49,900
The bottom line: Despite some very slight issues, the Audi A6 is a tech powerhouse, a comfortable sedan with a powerful, efficient engine and the most advanced navigation system available.
2012 BMW 328i
CNET rating: 4 stars out of 5
The good: The 2012 BMW 328i's new four-cylinder engine delivers an excellent combination of power and economy, and handling is superb.
BMW's app integration brings in Pandora, MOG, Facebook and Twitter. Navigation shows rich maps and integrates Google local search.
The bad: Just about every tech feature is an option, quickly raising the price of the car. The idle-stop feature causes an unpleasant shudder in the car when the engine kicks on. App integration is only available for the iPhone.
The cost: $34,900
The bottom line: With the 2012 328i, BMW managed to retain its driving virtues while drastically increasing fuel economy. Cabin technology stays on the cutting edge with app integration and other connected features.
2013 Lexus GS 450h
CNET rating: 4 stars out of 5
The good: With its hybrid gas-electric power train, the 2013 Lexus GS 450h reliably averages 30 mpg. Its adaptive suspension gives it unexpectedly good cornering. The Enform system brings in apps such as Facebook, Yelp, OpenTablet and Bing search.
The bad: The joystick controller on the console feels plasticky, and it is difficult to accurately control the onscreen pointer.
The cost: $58,950
The bottom line: The 2013 Lexus GS 450h is a tech tour de force, getting outrageously good fuel economy for this class of car with its hybrid drive system, and giving drivers the convenience of popular apps integrated with the cabin electronics.
2012 Ford Fiesta
CNET rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
The good: Sync in the 2012 Ford Fiesta offers voice command over music and Bluetooth phones, along with smartphone app integration.. The Fiesta's rigid suspension makes the car feel very maneuverable.
The bad: The ride can feel a little harsh, and the engine makes a tortured whine at high rpms. Onboard navigation is not available..
The cost: $17,500
The bottom line: Sync and AppLink give the 2012 Ford Fiesta an impressive techie edge, while the body design and decent fuel economy lend to overall practicality, but the car does not punch above its class in comfort.

Is there anything better than Basecamp?
Basecamp seems to have all the features I'm looking for in a project manager, but it requires a ton of tedious little interactions with its web GUI: uploading files, entering text, etc etc etc.
Is there an app with these features (either Mac or web-based) that is a little bit more "drag and drop", fluid, and fast?

I made a cooked compote with dried fruit and am wondering what safe refrigerated life I can expect. Ideally, please provide some reasonable rationale or reference for the advice.
There are three major things that will effect the "natural" shelf life of the compote, in that they could extend it considerably past the normal shelf life of the ingredients individually:
The specific recipe you linked to--at least the compote portion itself, excluding the vinegar syrup and the rest of the recipe--appears to have none of the characteristics that lead to a long shelf life. It should be held no longer than its most vulnerable ingredient, which would be the weak sugar syrup, so it is probably good for several days to a week in the refrigerator.
Now, in general, things named compotes tend to be far sweeter, and far more acidic than the recipe you have linked to.
In these cases, as ElindilTheTall points out, a very, very sweet recipe (jelly-like or jam-like sweetness) will last for many weeks in the refrigerator, and a couple of weeks at least at normal room temperature.
Finally, many compotes are amenable to home canning, if they are sufficiently acidic.
Canning has risks, especially for botulism, so you should only use recipes and methods from a very reputable source when doing canning, to ensure that the product is sufficiently acidic to be safe for the canning method used. Follow all of the techniques and prescriptions in the methods, as well, but I won't turn this into an essay on canning, which is not my area of expertise.
For those compotes that are properly canned, you should get an indefinite shelf life prior to opening, as long as the seal on the canning jar remains intact.
If you placed it in a sterilised jar (boiled for ten minutes, compote added, jar sealed, then boiled for another ten minutes), and assuming it had a decent amount of sugar, it should last weeks even outside of the fridge, especially of unopened. This is standard practice for making homemade jams.
Once opened, it should be kept in the fridge to inhibit mould growth. It should still last a couple of weeks.
If you didn't do all this, I would think it would last a week or two, but there's really too many factors to give an accurate answer. You'll just have to judge its look, smell and taste.
Depending on how the jar was sterilized and the jar quality itself... I'd say indefinite.
I have a few jars of compote in my cellar, made by my grandmother long before my birth. Currently estimating their age at around 50 years. True the natural fruit gelling agents turned the compote into jelly but on special occasions we open a jar of it, and it's always very good, even though you eat it with a spoon instead of drinking.
Note these are original Weck(tm) jars with glass lids and wide rubber seals. The rubber has long turned to dried goo that makes opening the jars a true challenge, and often a hour or more of work, but it seems that only improved the seal. I don't think I had any compote in the modern, metal lid jars to last past 10 years.
The specific recipe you linked to - Transfer compote to impeccably clean containers. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.

A few weeks ago the "fans of norah gaughan" group on Ravelry reached 2000 members, which I declared cause for celebration. I asked the members for celebratory suggestions. Someone suggested a KAL and someone else requested a new pattern just for the group. So, I decided to make a new pattern for the occasion and the knit along has begun. I'll be posting all of the information here – you don't even have to belong to Ravelry. Why wouldn't you want to though? It's so much fun to see what other knitters are doing, and of course, if you need help, you have a built in and experienced support group.
NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE DESIGNER INSTRUCTIONS – THERE MAY BE MISTAKES! I'll correct mistakes as they are brought to my attention. I'm not knitting this one, the members of the Ravelry group are my test knitters (or is it guinea pigs) :)
First, the schematic, in 7 sizes:
A fun way to test your gauge is to knit the wedge scarf, free pattern on the Berroco web site.
Now, to get started:
scarf as gauge:
40 sts seven and a half " across widest point
40 sts = a generous 7" in garter st
size 5 needle 3.75mm
5.75 sts = 1″
23 sts & 32 rows = 4″ (10 cm)
garter st 23 sts = 4"
Wegette cardigan"skirt"
Cast on 68(70-70-72-74-74-76)sts
Wedge with garter:
Knit 12 rows. Purl one row.
Short row lace wedge (starts on a RS):
1&2 – (Yo, p2tog) to the end, turn
repeat rows 1 &2 4 times more (10 rows total)
3&4 – (Yo, p2tog) 32 times, turn
5&6 – (Yo, p2tog) 24 times, turn
7&8 – (Yo, p2tog) 16 times, turn
9&10 – (Yo, p2tog) 8 times, turn
Knit 12 rows.
Stockinette st Separator: Work 1.75(2-2.25-2.5-2.75-3-3.25)" in stst (starts and ends with a RS row).
Work wedge with garter and separator 4 times more, then work wedge once more, Binding off on last row of garter st. (last knit row).
Oh yay! Congratulations on your group – it's wonderful, how helpful you are in there!
The pattern is so pretty – what a fun project, and how great to get to see it develop!August 21, 2008

Hmmmmm…very interesting.August 22, 2008

Very nice project. I'm a beginner-intermediate knitter but it looks not too complicated. Thanks for the scarf link to try it out on.October 7, 2008
Thanks for the marvelous posting! I quite enjoyed reading it, you can be a great author.I will make sure to bookmark your blog and will often come back from now on. I want to
encourage you continue your great work, have a nice evening!October 4, 2014

Stay away from Chicken Jerky from China!
We've posted about this before that there's a warning but not a recall on pet products with chicken jerky from China.
I wanted to share my personal experience that I'm dealing with now.
Before I knew of these concerns, I gave Maisy, my 12 yr old Corgi/Dachshund mix, two treats of chicken jerky. I don't recall the brand but I think it was Dingo or Waggin' Train. They were a rectangular yellowish chip.
A few days later, Maisy had horrible diarrhea and I took her to the emergency room. It took days to get that under control and another week of a diet of rice and chicken. The next month, again not yet realizing the chicken jerky problem, I gave her another. Instant diarrhea again. It took longer to fix her up this time and included doses on Tylan.
44 Answers answer
Looking for answers, I researched and found the problems with chicken jerky. This was early enough in the reports that my vets didn't know much about it yet. Those treats went in the trash.
Maisy had also started having seizures about a year ago. They were infrequent and ranged from mild to grand mal. She's getting up in age so we were just monitoring at this point.
One day she threw up and entire rawhide (little stick ones) and I took away her rawhides for a while. I should explain that Maisy has bad teeth and the xrays show that she was malnourished during her first couple years of life. She's a food addict because of this. I can't free feed her and she rarely chews food.
After a couple months off these rawhides, I realized she hadn't had a seizure in a long time. These rawhides were Walmart's brand with chicken jerky wrapped around the outside! Yep, from China. She'd been eating them for a year with no problems. I had no idea the seizures were related.
Move to this week. I can tell that Maisy just isn't feeling well. She's eating. She always eats. Even when she's sick, she eats. But something wasn't right. She was eating slower. Urinating on the carpet. Something was just wrong.
Took her to the vet. Liver, Kidney, and Pancreas values are all high. First suspect was pancreatitis. Vet told me to move her to a low fat diet. I stocked up on food yesterday and we started the new diet plan.
I got a call this morning on the results of her urinalysis from the sample I took in yesterday. She has major kidney issues as well. That means a low protein diet.
Vet is calling Science Diet to find out what kind of food we can give her that is low fat yet low in protein.
Needless to say, things don't look good for my sweet Maisy. I know her time is probably short at this time. I feel sick that I did this to her but pissed at the pet food industry for their part as well.
So go check all your pet's food and snacks.
Miss Maisy. Picture is from last year or so. Her face is a lot whiter now.
Awww, poor girl... :-(
Sorry to hear, thank you for the warning.
I'm so sorry to hear. This seems to be an ongoing problem with pet food/treats sourced from China. Keep us posted, and we'll think good thoughts for your girl.
Sorry to hear about that :(
It always sucks having a loved pet go downhill. Hopefully you get another couple of years/months.
Sorry to hear about that - it stinks! Thanks for letting us know about the issue - will keep a closer eye on what we feed our three!
Sorry to hear about your pup. Thanks for the warnings. I don't understand why they won't do a recall.
On a side note, this explains why Gordman's suddenly decided to donate their entire stock of Waggin' Train chicken jerky treats to our shelter a few weeks ago. Nice move Gordman's. :(
Also, please don't blame yourself. You thought you were giving her a healthy, fun treat, you had no idea. Blame the idiots who make the stuff and will cut any corner to make more profit. Blame the FDA who doesn't seem to give a crap about pet food. I know it's hard not to second-guess yourself but you had no way of knowing these were bad treats.
Just enjoy what time you have left with her, spoil her (even more than normal) and try to act like nothing is wrong when you're with her. Pets can sense when we're sad or depressed and I think it can stress them out too because they know something is wrong but they don't know what.
I am terribly sorry to hear about your dog's close shave.
I have two old (15 & 16 yrs old) dogs who have liver problems. I put them on a supplement based on vet's recommendation. It seems to have helped and it gets pretty uniformly good reviews on Amazon and other credible customer feedback sites.
Kodie (16yr old) has come close to keeling over a few times now, and it scares the heck out of me every time.
When all else fails, and we think our little guy is about to have his last meal, we buy some really nice ham for him. Every time, he perks up a bit, and wags his tail when he gets yummy ham, even when he is incontinent, cant stand up, shaking or having involuntary muscle spasms, or whatever horror he is going through.
I think I should put that in my living will. "Before you pull the plug on me, please give me one last slice of ham."
Anyway, I wish your furball a speedy recovery. The product is Denamarin by Nutramax. You can ask your vet if it could help.
@tippypaws: I agree - it is not your fault that there are almost no trustworthy companies out there any more.
If they can make it cheaper, erode quality control, and not tell you, they will. It goes beyond dogs, but I'll try not to rant.
TT, you acted reasonably, and got what you thought was a yummy treat for your pup. Not your fault that the treat you bought was full of yuck. I think there is a special place in hell reserved for people who abuse animals and the helpless. That place is not for you. It is for the manufacturer.
I'm sorry to hear that :(
But thank you so much for the heads up!!! We just received a chicken jerky treat from Waggin' Train and we were planning to give it to them this afternoon. We threw it away immediately!
Good luck and please keep us up to date!
my dog loves those chicken flat jerky dehydrated things. he eats a couple a day, and he only weighs 12 pounds. what is wrong with them exactly?
Sorry to hear about your dog. Thanks for sharing this for other dog owners.
@commonwealth109: They won't test them or recall them so no one really knows what's wrong. It could be some sort of chemical getting mixed in or salmonella or anything. Whatever it is, there are fairly widespread reports of these treats causing liver and kidney failure. My suggestion is to buy a dehydrator and make your own chicken jerky if you are adamant about giving jerky treats to your dog. At least then you know what's in 'em.
I apply the "don't eat food products from China" to all portions of my life. We were giving out Halloween candy at work yesterday and I was reading the back label (because that's the sort of thing I do) and it's Canadian candy but made in China. What? First of all, I'm pretty sure they have candy factories in Canada that are capable of producing these nasty little marshmallow monsters. Secondly, why would you want to offshore something that simple? I understand that if you have to pay a Canadian an actual living wage then you've got some cost savings but is it worth it when you factor in the inevitable food safety issues? I seriously doubt it. Apparently they taste kind of gross as well; a toddler spit a chewed one back out on our counter.
There was a story on Reddit last month about this as well:
@thefenst: Heartbreaking :(
So sorry that you and your beautiful dog are going through this. Sending out good wishes that she feels better and gets stronger.
So sorry to hear about that @thunderthighs. We don't currently have a dog, but are planning on getting one in the spring. I'll be sure to let my brother-in-law know about this though. We were just dog sitting for them last week. As others have said, don't beat yourself up about this though -- you didn't know.
Wishing the very best for Miss Maisy. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you all for the kind words and wishes for Maisy. I'll do what I can to keep her comfortable and as healthy as possible.
Here is the latest update from the FDA last month where they found nothing conclusive. Again, no recalls. Just warnings.
You should take your story to the local news. In every city I have lived in there is at least one station that has a hard-news-fight-for-you type of segment, where they go after the people or companies that us little people cannot.
Stand outside of Petco with a sign that says Doggie Treats from China are poison.
Hit them where it hurts, give them bad publicity, and make them pay.
It is so irresponsible to allow your product to hurt or kill someone's pet, that to many people are like their children. The whole thing just makes me sick.
@commonwealth109: the FDA hasn't been able to figure out what exactly is causing the problems. They are warning people to not feed them to their pets but haven't gone so far as a recall.
Just believe me that it's real. If the jerky is made in China, stop now.
I have been following this story for some time now and I am shocked that stores still insist on carrying these dangerous 'treats'. I saw them in my local CVS, asked for the manager, and told her about how dangerous they are. Her reply, "well, they haven't been recalled yet." That was about 4 months ago. I wonder if profit is more important than a customer's pet's health? It infuriates me, really, that they are still on shelves of not only CVS but Walgreens and other stores. Regardless of the FDA's inability to find the exact cause with these treats, knowing they are making dogs sick should be enough for stores to stop selling them.
edit:removed html link
Good thoughts for Miss Maisy coming from here. Spoil her, but be good to yourself as well. You two are a team.
I've been following the pet food issues for quite a while. It's a really big deal that you rarely hear about. @thunderthighs I'd would advise against using Science Diet, even. Please take a look at http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com It gives in-depth reviews of just about every pet food on the market. I thought I was doing okay with my pet food choices as long as I made sure meat was one of the first ingredients. I was soo wrong. The things that they put in pet food (some-scratch that- ALL of those byproducts are disgusting) are scary. I switched my pets to Blue Buffalo Wilderness. It's a bit pricey, but I know I'm feeding them healthy food, and because it is good quality without fillers, they don't eat as much.
ETA: Sending good thoughts for Maisy. We lost one of our dogs to age earlier this year. It sucks so bad when our four-legged family members begin to show their age.
@meandsecoya: yeah, I've never been a fan of SD. I'm actually sticking with the can food that I topped her dry food with for breakfast. I'm dropping the dry food (Three Dog Bakery baked) and going all can. Looked up what I've been giving her and it's 4.5 stars. Yay! I did research before I switched her to it last year. Probably even saw that report. It's PerSmart's brand, Simply Nourish. It had lower fat than the SD the vet was going to give me.
Stuff has huge chunks of meat and veggies. Looks damn tasty.
@thunderthighs: That's awesome. I'm glad that what you've already been using is so well rated. I'm too embarrassed to say what I'd been feeding mine before I really started researching the stuff. :-/
I've also learned that rawhides in general can be very dangerous for dogs and switched to elk antlers. My boxer loves them and they practically last forever.
@meandsecoya: Maisy has had many teeth pulled due to the effects of her early malnutrition so I went for smaller stick rawhides that she could handle. She got one when I would leave for the day when I worked for the school district. She's a nervous soul and it distracted her for a while. Now she has larger ones that she carries like a security item but rarely chews them.
@thunderthighs: Poor Maisy. :-( I'm glad she found a good dog mama in you. I'll never understand how anyone can mistreat and abuse their animals.
I'm so sorry about your pup. Thanks for the heads up, I'll avoid those with my boys.
@thunderthighs: I hope that Miss Maisy is able to rebound.
After reading through, I am happy to see you aren't using the Science Diet. I can recommend some treats for her. My dog had a dubious upbringing, too, so he's missing a bunch of teeth. I give him - Ark Naturals Sea Mobility Jerky and Get Naked Dental Chews. They are good stuff.
And while I'm throwing out recommendations - if you have a dog that get's freaked out over storms or whatever the trigger is - get them Ark Naturals Happy Traveler. I give my 60lb dog 2 of the small chews and he mellows out. Bad storms will be the death of us both. His heart will give out & mine will break.
As I Chinese person, I even try to avoid food products from China, because of sanitary reasons when making the products and also of the random, cheap stuff they put in it.
Update: Maisy was vomiting undigested food today hours after eating. Water intake was down. Called vet and he said take her to the emergency clinic. They're keeping her for 24 hours for dehydration, pain, and vomiting caused by the pancreatitis. They're going to pump her full of fluids and pain meds to let the pancreas complete rest. Then we'll see how she does.
Oh no. :-( I'm glad the ER Vet is taking care of her and I'm praying she'll bounce back from this.
You and Maisy will be in our prayers too.
@thunderthighs: I am so sorry about your pup being sick, and I will say some prayers.
I am also so angry at the stores that still carry these products and the greedy companies (Waggin' Train is put out by Purina) that refuse to do a voluntary recall.
No, you can't blame yourself. Most of the pet food is from China. It is damn hard to find food or treats from anywhere else.
On the other paw, I have personal experience with the Kingdom Pets chicken jerky. I used to have a cat who loved chicken. She totally went mental for chicken. So I picked up a bag of these treats. Of course, I cut them up for her, they are way too large for a cat, but after giving her a couple pieces, she started acting sick, and actually lost her voice for a day. This was a very vocal cat, and we could see her mouth move like she was making noise, but nothing came out. Fortunately this went away after just the day, but you can damn well take it to the bank that those treats ended up in the trash. Yes, CostCo has a wonderful return policy, but I simply wanted them gone.
For those subscribed to this thread...
This afternoon, I petted and soothed Maisy as I told her goodbye. The vet says that much kidney damage had to be caused by injury, poisons, or toxins. It was not caused by old age.
Spread the word, please.
@thunderthighs: I am so, so very sorry. big hugs It doesn't matter whether you're expecting the end or not, it's always hard.
@thunderthighs: I am so sorry for your loss. It was good you were able to be there with her at the end, but I am sure it was very difficult for you. She was lucky to have such a loving owner.

Angered by liquor store's appearance, man smashes TV on sidewalk, police say
Oak Creek — A neighbor upset about the untidy appearance of a nearby liquor store was cited for disorderly conduct after he retaliated by smashing a television set in front of the business June 30.
According to the Oak Creek police report:
The Oak Creek man lives near Checker Liquor, 9110 S. Chicago Road. He told police he was upset about the "mess" at the business, and that he had spoken to the city on several occasions but felt not enough was being done to clean up the property.
The man went to the store and confronted the owner about 10:30 a.m. June 30. During the confrontation, the man said he asked the store owner how he would feel if he smashed a TV set on the sidewalk in front of his business "for his customers to see."
When the owner stated, "go ahead," the resident got a TV set and smashed it on the sidewalk in front of the store.» Read Full Article

Police say Greendale man facing charges for randomly punching teens on Summerfest shuttle
An intoxicated Greendale man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly punched three teens in the face for no apparent reason while riding on a Milwaukee County Transit Summerfest shuttle bus on June 28.
According to the police report:
Police interviewed multiple witnesses who stated that Kyle Kubiak, 21, got agitated, started yelling profanities about police and then punched a teenage girl in the face for no apparent reason as the bus pulled into the Hales Corners Park-and-Ride lot at 4800 S. 108th St. in Greenfield at about 11:10 p.m.
Two friends of the victim, a boy and a girl, tried to come to the girl's aid, but were also punched in the face by Kubiak before two other bus riders forced him back into his seat and held him there until police boarded the bus.
A Greenfield police officer, who was monitoring the Hales Corners lot as bus passengers were being dropped, was flagged down by the driver. Kubiak was quickly removed from the bus by police, handcuffed, and taken into custody.» Read Full Article
Registration open for run/walk held in memory of shooting victims
Oak Creek — Registration is open for the Chardhi Kala 6K run/walk, an event to not only commemorate those who lost their lives in the Aug. 5, 2012, shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, but to also celebrate the temple's strengthened connection to the community in the wake of the tragedy.
The event is aptly titled: Chardi kala can be translated from Punjabi as "positive attitude" or "ascending energy."
"It seemed really appropriate given the circumstances," said volunteer and temple member Gurmukh Singh. "It's (chardi kala) that kind of buoyant high spirit, relentless optimism. It's in that spirit that the event will be a success."
Each of the event's 6 kilometers also are symbolic. They represent one of the members of the temple killed that day by Wade Michael Page: Satwant Singh Kaleka, Paramjit Kaur, Suveg Singh Khattra, Prakash Singh and brothers Ranjit and Sita Singh.
The run/walk begins at 8:30 a.m. Aug. 3 and runs until 11 a.m. Entertainment, speeches, festivities and games will be provided afterward. The run/walk will take place at Oak Creek High School, 340 E. Puetz Road.» Read Full Article
Oak Creek to vote on spending $23,000 in Packer advertisements
Oak Creek — The Community Development Authority on July 10 recommended spending $23,000 on radio ads on Packers game days for next season as a means of promoting development in the city.
The money will come from CDA funds gained from hotel, motel and room taxes. The commercials will be aired in four slots before and after 20 Packers games on WTMJ-AM (620). The proposal came from Journal Broadcast Group, which approached the city.
While the city has purchased money for print ads, this is their first foray into radio advertising and something CDA Director Doug Seymour said was an "outside the box" way of marketing the city.
The Oak Creek Common Council will examine and vote on the proposal in the next few weeks.
Krimmer sets Oak Creek wins record in Knights' 9-3 regional victory
Breaking a record held by all-time Oak Creek baseball great deserves a special celebration.
So when Knight pitcher Hayden Krimmer was being interviewed after claiming the victory in Oak Creek's 9-3 WIAA regional final victory over visiting South Milwaukee Friday, he was caught by surprise when his teammates doused him with an ice bucket bath.
"Sorry about that," he laughed, noting that there was a fair amount of splash from the bucket and an even larger amount of laughter coming from his happy teammates.
With the victory, Krimmer now has 26 career wins, breaking the Major League draft choice Butler's old mark of 25. He did it in splendid fashion, with a five strikeout-no walk effort on the hill and a spectacular effort with the bat, including three hits and four RBI.
"Doing that feels great," said Krimmer of breaking the pitching record. "Tony is always somebody that I've looked up to."» Read Full Article

Discipling and Disciplining
from R.C. Sproul Jun 26, 2010 Category: R.C. SproulThere is a strange dichotomy in the language of the contemporary church.

Today, discipline is a word used to refer to the instruction and nurture of the believer. It does not usually carry the connotation of ecclesiastical censure or punishment. Keep Reading
Get Real
from Keith Mathison Jun 25, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineI do not care for shopping malls. I have not reflected on the reasons for my dislike for any significant amount of time. It's just a gut-level, visceral reaction I have when I enter one of these buildings. I like the main streets in small towns with local shops that have their own unique atmosphere. Malls seem to want to mimic small-town main streets in some ways, but with their cookiecutter franchises that are like the stores in every other mall in every other city, they are the exact opposite of small-town main streets. In fact, they have contributed to the gradual extinction of small-town main streets. Keep Reading

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism
from Karisa Schlehr Jun 22, 2010 Category: Ligonier ResourcesAny mention of the word "Calvinism" provokes a number of questions, discussions, objections, and realizations. What is "Calvinism?" Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? Why did the Roman Catholic Church condemn the Reformed teaching of predestination and election and embrace free will theology? And why do so many Protestants, perhaps unwittingly, agree with Rome on this issue? Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism, a DVD and study guide produced by The Apologetics Group, is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions.

Eight months after the 3DS' North American debut, Mario at last debuts on the handheld in Super Mario 3D Land. Nintendo is keen for a big hit to energize interest in the device, and they've put their best plumber on the job. Should you hire his services too?
Owen Good, the Sports Guy Who Went Through a Warp Pipe and Ended Up in World 4-2: For starters, this is a fun game. That's what this is supposed to be, and Super Mario 3D Land answers the demand the way Nintendo always does, with charm, variety, and a toymaker's ingenuity that gives us things like gyrometer operated binoculars. It also makes the best use of the 3DS's three-dimensional capabilities I've seen yet. The 3DS is at its most mesmerizing when you feel like you're looking through a glass-bottomed boat into another landscape, and that is what 3D Land feels like to me. The perspective changes are a real delight, switching from a diagonal camera, to straight overhead, to side-scrolling, and serve their environments well. It's an extremely good looking game. Whether this is cause enough to buy a 3DS is another question we're not answering here. Those who have one should definitely pick it up because hey, it's-a he, Mario. Yes.
World 5-2 is cool, 5-5 ia gem. 2-3 is winner. So is 3-1 and the one that is partially a giant piano. Also: the airship levels and so many more. The levels are short enough to play through between bus stops or commercial breaks and the whole package is more fun than most 99 cent portable games I've ever encountered. Enemies of fun—or people who wouldn't spend the price of an above-average dinner on a handheld game—would hate Super Mario 3D Land. I'm not one of them. Bonus: it's not as simplistic (dare I say "dull"?) in level design as New Super Mario Bros. DS. Should you buy it? Yes.
Is it worth buying a 3DS for, though? Hard to say—especially not for a Gut Check. Thankfully, that's not what my gut is being asked to divine, so I'm off the hook on that one. Yes.
