The CWC Bulldogs have had a season of ups and downs, but on Monday night one thing was for sure. The team was not going to be denied a win in its regional opener.
The team met host Hamilton Co., and from the opening tip, CWC was on a mission.
The Bulldogs finished off the Foxes, 45-38.
The theme for the first half was all defense. The team limited Hamilton Co. to only nine total points in the first half, five in the first quarter and four in the second.
The Bulldogs played well offensively in the first, putting up 11 points in the first, but began to struggle a bit in the second, only scoring six, but still holding a 17-9 lead at the half.
While the Foxes began a bit of a comeback in the second half, Chase Sailer's physical play in the half would ultimately drive the Bulldogs to victory.
Sailer scored 11 of his team leading 15 points in the second half, including going five of five on free throw opportunities in the fourth quarter.
Andy Vaughan was also big in the second half, scoring ten after sitting a majority of the first half with two fouls.
The Bulldogs held a slim lead at the end of the game in the turnover battle, 13-16.
CWC did have issues with free throws, going eight of 15 for 53 percent. Hamilton Co. was 16 of 19 from the line for 84 percent.
Sailer led the Bulldogs with 15 points, Vaughan added 12 in the win. Others scoring were Jamey Steed with nine points, Dylan Rankin with five points, Brodie Brown with two points and Jordan Large with two points.
CWC will have no time to enjoy the win, facing Flora, the number one seed in the Hamilton Co. 2A regional, tonight at 7:30 p.m. at McLeansboro.
Hamilton Co. 38
Hamilton Co. 5 4 13 16 38
CWCHS – Sailer 15, Vaughan 12, Steed 9, Rankin 5, Brown 2, Large 2.
Hamilton Co. – Lueke 15, Billington 6, Biggerstaff 6, Gay 5, Anselment 4, Stevens 2.

I just rooted my phone (Android 2.3.6) and partitioned the sd card using
CWM recovery. While partitioning, I noticed about
swap size and while searching about it, different blogs (xda developers) recommended using
0M as
swap size. What is the use of it? Why is it recommended to be
I just rooted my phone (Android 2.3.6) and partitioned the sd card using
Primary reasons for the no swap recommendations are the basic uselessness of swap for most devices, performance reasons, and device longevity.
As Liam mentions, modern devices have no shortage of RAM (Even my old underpowered Wildfire S has as much RAM as my previous desktop.) and that RAM is managed fairly well by the modern Android system, making a swap largely pointless.
Also, even though flash is far better than platters of spinning rust, it's still orders of magnitude slower than RAM is, hence for performance reasons, you don't want to tier down to flash if you can at all avoid it.
Furthermore, flash memory has a limit on how many times you can erase and rewrite it. While this cycle limit is typically in the thousands or tens of thousands, which combined with modern wear leveling systems, means you're unlikely to hit the limit within the useful lifespan of the device, but if you're using it as swap, with loads and loads of itty-bity writes, you will chew through those cycles needlessly and might actually bump against those limits in time.
The use of a swap file it so save memory (RAM) to storage (hard drive/sd card).
The recommendation of 0mb for the file size is because it is not usually needed. Android takes care of memory management in a different fashion than swap files.
A Swap File is traditionally used to store what is typically in memory onto storage when memory is low. This allows it to be switched back into memory when needed.
To quote from Zero Credibility Blog
(emphasis mine)
The above describes how I have seen applications appear to persist after switching from task to task.
There is no need to save the contents of memory to storage, because Android will just save the app's current data and terminate the app.
As the other answers already cover most of the facts, just a small addition: I already edited the app Swapper for Root users into Liam's answer as an example. And Compro01's answer already mentioned the danger of wearing out the flash memory of your sdcard. Now let's bring both together:
When using the Swapper app to handle your swap, it recommends to not use a swap partition but a swap file, for exact this reasons. That swap file then is placed on a different location of the flash memory each time swap gets activated, which avoids to always write/delete the same blocks and thus saves some more lifespan for your flash memory.
So comparing both:
Keeping this in mind it gets clear why a) 0M (i.e. no swap partition) is recommended, and b) a swap partition is offered at all (for those who do not care buying new cards, but want the extra little speed).
Swap is basically virtual RAM used by the Linux kernel.
Swap in Android was used when devices had very limited RAM (I used it with my LG Optimus GT540), to increase the amount of RAM available to the Android OS.
Android kills apps when it run's out of memory - and is very good at doing this efficiently, however on devices with low RAM people may have seen their home screen apps being killed, and therefore have to wait a while to get to their home screens.
Swap can be mounted via either a partition or a file - mainly on an external (or internal) storage device. Swap is normally activated via the so-called Init scripts in the
Linux desktops use a partition for swap, and the user is asked to create this during the install process.
A file is normally stored on the SD Card or storage medium. The swap file on Android is normally mounted (and created) by an app (e.g. Swapper for Root users).
Most newer devices won't see any benefit of using swap - as they normally have as much RAM as a desktop computer (my SGS2 has 1GB!), and therefore wouldn't benefit from having more virtual RAM.
Unfortunately, using swap can come at a price - even on low RAM devices, as the OS has to spend time writing to the SD card, which would normally have slow read/write speeds. As such, it isn't used much at all nowadays, unless a device has an obscenely small amount of RAM.
As well as this, using swap can have a negative effect on the life of your memory device, and should be used with caution. If anyone reading must use swap (and I would advise against it), then use a file with an app, as it varies the swap file location to maximise sd card life.

5 Shocking Ways Enemies Worked Together During Times of War
War sucks dick. All the dicks, in fact. It cuts lives short, tears whole families apart, and it always seems to bring out the absolute worst in humanity. However, throughout history, there have been some people who've stared war's moral corruption right in the face and then punched its teeth out with the clenched fists of mercy and human courage.
#5. Charles Brown and Franz Stigler's Aerial Bromance
Charles Brown was a B-17 pilot during World War II tasked with dropping thousands of pounds of munitions on Nazi territories, or, in other words, not the most beloved man in Germany at the time. So in December 1943, after a sudden attack that wounded half of his crew and left their plane virtually defenseless over enemy terrain, it seemed like things couldn't get worse for the American airmen, which of course they immediately did.
via TogetherWeServed.com
"Good grief." -2nd Lt. Brown.
As Brown attempted to maintain control of the aircraft, he took a quick glance out the window. To his dismay, he saw a German Messerschmitt piloted by 2nd Lt. Franz Stigler, an ace fighter out on an extended revenge spree to avenge his brother August, who was killed early in the war by American pilots. Resigned to his fate, Brown looked his would-be-executioner in the eyes as he ... gave Brown a friendly nod and escorted his aircraft to safety. What the fuck?
The minute Franz Stigler heard the B-17 engine sputtering over his airbase, he had every vengeful intention of putting a million lead suppositories into its butthole, which would also round up his high score and earn him the German equivalent of the Medal of Honor. But when he maneuvered his plane for the kill shot, it became apparent that Brown and his crew were incapable of putting up any resistance. Their plane was riddled with holes, their gunner was dead and the survivors were all huddled in the flying steel coffin tending to their wounds.
Also, observed but unconfirmed: American airplane ghosts.
To Stigler, to kill them wouldn't only be unfair; it would be equal to murder, which was unacceptable for the German pilot who lived by the warrior code of honor. And so, he began to fly in formation with the bomber, tricking German anti-air crews below into thinking that it was one of their own captured B-17s. He did this until they reached the North Sea, at which point Stigler gave the grateful Americans one last salute and returned back to base. Brown eventually landed safely in Allied territory.
Forty years later, the two pilots were miraculously able to find each other and actually became the best of friends, calling each other brothers and even going on numerous fishing trips together. And all because in 1943, Stigler remembered the movie tagline-esque words of one of his commanding officers, who said, "You fight by rules to keep your humanity."
#4. A Japanese Imperial Army Officer Gives His Sports Hero a Reason to Live
via NDRing.com
Mario "Motts" Tonelli was a soldier in the U.S. Army during World War II and a former college football star who, in 1942, found himself on the losing side of the Battle of Bataan during the Japanese invasion of the Philippines. After being taken prisoner, he and the rest of the captured American soldiers were forced into the infamous Bataan Death March, where they had to walk to POW camps while being beaten, starved, and tortured by the Japanese army.
National Archives
They originally called it the "Batan Death March," but one "a" just didn't do it justice.
If that wasn't enough, during the march, a Japanese soldier spotted Tonelli's Notre Dame class ring and demanded he hand it over. At first he refused, as the ring symbolized his good ol' days when he played football for the Fighting Irish and in 1937 even made an awe-inspiring 70-yard run in the fourth quarter against USC to set his team up for the winning touchdown, which he also scored. But when one of his friends convinced him that his ring wasn't worth dying over, Tonelli reluctantly gave it up.
A few minutes later, however, Tonelli was surprised to see a Japanese officer walking toward him, ring in hand. The unnamed Japanese officer confirmed Tonelli's identity and then, in perfect English, went on to explain to him that he had attended USC and was an avid fan of American football. In fact, he had actually been present at the very same game during which Tonelli made his inspirational run because, dammit, this whole experience was so depressing, the least we could get out of it is a potential Hanks-Spielberg movie script.
Both men also met their wives at the game, probably.
Since the Japanese officer knew how much it meant to Tonelli and was so impressed by his feat of athleticism, he decided to give the ring back. He warned Tonelli to hide it though as it was unlikely he would be there the next time someone tried to take it from him. Tonelli understood and kept the ring well hidden in a soap dish, only taking it out when he felt like giving up hope. Though he never saw the Japanese officer again, the ring ended up being Tonelli's main motivation to survive the next three years of hell, after which he was finally rescued, due in no small part to one unexpected, star-struck football fan.
#3. Russians and Germans Go Wolf Hunting During World War I
Comstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images
World War I is the hipster of global conflicts, having been a depressing window into the horrors of man's inhumanity to man decades before World War II and endless subsequent movies made it cool. So, logically, you'd assume that if you threw in a frozen, Eastern European wasteland and packs of hungry superwolves into the mix, you'd come out with a pretty decent first draft for a historical horror flick.
Pawea Aniszewski/Photos.com
Observed but unconfirmed: Russian snow plain ghosts.
And yet, when the Imperial Russian and German troops fighting in the Kovno-Wilna-Minsk region found themselves at the mercy of starved-out wolves during the winter of 1916-17, they instead turned the whole ordeal into an after-school special about how neat-o it is to put aside your differences and work together.
The wolves in question were reportedly larger and stronger than any other such animal the Germans or Russians had ever seen and withstood all attempts at keeping them at bay, including grenades, poison, and even machine guns. Regardless of how many wolves the soldiers seemed to kill, a new pack of equally vicious beasts would take their spot and wreak havoc, almost as if they were some werewolf-cockroach crossbreed.
Nikolai Sverchkov
Russia had already killed all the weak wolves, for fun.
So when it got to the point when both sides couldn't accomplish the objectives set out by their commanders, the Russians and Germans were given permission to sign a truce during which all fighting ceased. Instead of killing each other, the two sides channeled their inner Liam Neeson and went to kick some wolf ass together on a giant, German-Russian wolf hunt.
Now that all of their efforts were put toward eradicating this menace, the soldiers made progress by working arm in arm with guys they had just tried to kill a little while back. By the time they were done, hundreds of wolves had been killed, and the few that remained hightailed it out of there as fast as their four legs would let them. Like all good things though, the truce eventually came to an end, proving that the only thing it will apparently take to bring humanity together is the threat of a common, unstoppable enemy. Man, where is a real-life alien invasion when you need one?

How can I setup IIS 5.1 in Visual Studio 2008 as my web development server? I'm using Win XP, and I was using Cassini, but I want to give a tray to IIS instead of.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
You might have to attach Visual Studio to the ASP.NET worker process to debug.
It's in the web project's property pages, under Web->Servers->"Use local IIS web server"
To attach Visual Studio to the ASP.NET worker proccess to debug go to menu Tools\Attach to Proccess or press CTRL + ALT + P and select aspnet_wp.exe or w3wp.exe.
More information here.
To develop Website using Visual developer 2008 with IIS instead of "ASP.NET Development Server", In the new website window under "Location" click on "Browse" to see the different Server options including IIS Server. User can select the server as IIS server instead of "File System", then the "Location" option will be "HTTP" instead of "File System".
In Visual developer 2008 under Properties->Start Option->Server->"Use local IIS server" option is not shown, Even though IIS server was installed and configured successfully. the only options shown are "use default server" and " Use custom server with base URL".
So in Visual developer 2008 to run on IIS server(If IIS server is installed), Need do the following:
New Website -> Under Locations Click on "Browse" -> Click on "Local IIS" and then select the "IIS Virtual Directory"(IIS vitual Directory which is directory created by the user while configuring IIS server) -> Open
While Running/debugging, the server which you selected while creating the website, the same server will used to open the website, that is while creating the website if you selected "IIS Server" then the website will be opened though IIS server.
One more thing is, while installing Visual developer 2008 and IIS server, If you installed IIS server after installing Visual studio then you need to do the following before creating new website:
Run ->cmd press enter (then enter the following Command)-> C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\Version# aspnet_regiis -i press Enter then you get message after 3 seconds "ASP.net was installed successfully". (*Version# will be v2.0.50727 in most cases)
Before everthing make sure you have installed and configured IIS server. To know how to install and configure IIS server check the following Link: http://chalaki.com/install-iis6-windows-xp-professional-sp3-setup-run-csharp-cgi/425/
Hope this helps.

Kiteboarding in Cape Town
White men can't jump? With all the wind power in Cape Town, ALL men can!
Ever heard the saying when life gives you lemons, make lemonade? In Big Bay, when the wind starts howling, the surf starts calling! After all, life really only starts at 20 knots.
In recent days the wind has been blowing full force in the Mother City. Women around town are showing off colourful "doekies" (scarves) to keep hair and weaves in place. Wearing a skirt to work has been declared a bad wardrobe choice. Around the office water cooler, all become wind gurus and weather forecasters.
No complaints on the Big Bay strip, however.
As office workers rush home after work, fearing sandblast patterns on their cars (especially on Blouberg's Marine Drive), the beach fills up with sun-bleached hair, bronzed bodies and wetsuits. Kiters pump up big, colourful inflatable kites; each mechanically goes through important safety checks on their boards, flying lines, harnesses and control bars. There is no to time to chat. The wind is out. Knots are picking up. Waves are galloping. Blouberg's famous sunset is fast approaching.
The stronger the wind, the higher the rush.
Kiteboarding is an extreme sport at its most spectacular. It combines wakeboard, windsurf, surf, paraglide and gymnastics into one. Kiters are free-spirited surf riders, trained to harness the sheer power of nature with their kites. They launch into jumps, advanced jumps and backloops. They perform downwind and upwind runs and have fun in the waves at incredible speeds!
It has been said that Cape Town's waves are not for the faint-hearted. Big Bay certainly is perfect for wind sports, with winds often ranging between 18 and 40 knots, getting gusty at times. Kiters chase waves from Sunset beach in Milnerton, throughout Blouberg, Big Bay and even to the north at Haakgat en route to Melkbosstrand – scenic surfing with Table Mountain and Robben Island as the perfect backdrop.
The sport has a big following in Blouberg, which is evident in the many kiteboard sales and repair shops, branded minivans and professional kitesurf coaches and trainers working in the area.
Kiters migrate from across the globe, irrespective of season, to the ever-popular Kiter beach house metres from Doodles Beach, where you will always find a mix of German, Swiss, Swedish, French, Danish, British, American, Austrian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese enthusiasts chilling out, sharing experiences and living a lifestyle of sun, fun, wind and water. Above all, they wait for the perfect moment when the surf really fires up! Kiters are also seen at Cape Town's many attractions, restaurants and night life. They surf hard and play hard.
Word has it the Speed World Cup Surfing event will be hosted in Blouberg towards the end of 2013, where more than 60 international kiters (plus hangers-on) will be visiting our windy paradise. I can't wait to see them ride the Big Bay waves and have an epic time!
The ultimate kitesurf spin-off (respekt!)
I moved to Big Bay four years ago and immediately fell in love with the airborne adrenaline junkies. The biggest spin-off is the hours of pleasure I get from watching and photographing the wetsuited daredevils as they tame the wind, perform air jumps and tricks, and suspend in mid-air.
When the Cape Town south-easter picks up and all sane Capetonians barricade themselves indoors, I reach for my binoculars and camera bag..
What do die-hard kiters do on windless days when not painting the Big Bay skyline, you may ask? You'll find them sitting cross-legged on the sandy dunes, staring longingly out to sea..
Post note: Kiteboard lingo 101 to enhance your kitesurfer spotting experience
- Air time: a jump (often five to 10 seconds long)
- Downwinder: a great day out where a kiter goes on a long journey downwind, and generally needs a mate/bus to get back to where they started (some may be as short as five kilometres, some have travelled hundreds)
- Lofted: to get lifted vertically into the air by a strong gust of wind (unwanted/unexpected)
- Ripping: when one is kiteboarding very well
- Blowing up: crashing due to sheer unmanageable speed
- Pulling the trigger: pulling on one side of the bar, sending the kite up, to initiate a jump
- Mobe: a move that involves a back roll, with a front-side 360-degree handle pass
- Nuking: kiting at high wind speeds, for really experienced riders only; when the south-easter blows so hard that spray comes off the whitecaps
- Hindenburg: a reference to the Hindenburg airship disaster of 1937, which in kitesurfing terminology refers to the kite stalling and falling out of the sky
- Dead seagull: normally happens in lightish winds when performing a messy jump. Lines go slack, the kite falls out of the sky, spiralling down lazily, plopping onto the water like a dead seagull
- Kitemare: a kiteboard surfing accident or dangerous mishap
- Teabagging: a most unfortunate situation, being overpowered, getting picked up out of the water and dropped continuously; taking a wipe-out and skidding across the water
- Teabagger: a term of friendship and endearment for kiters by participants of alternative sports
- Epic: usually to describe weather conditions at a site or a session, i.e. "that was a totally epic session!"
- Yard sale: a crash after which you find your gear scattered over a wide area.
- Respekt: as in what you have for those who pull 60-foot jumps with kiteloops or inverted handlepasses
- Speedbumps: all bodyboarders and surfers
- Men in grey suits: sharks

It's always been a pain in the @$$ to see only 20 item in category. If i have 30, it paged on 2 pages, i hate that. If WordPress had a preference for that. So the question, Hot to list ALL the category, whatever the number... if i have 200, list them all, no paging. I inspect edit-tags.php and could not find "show_item=20" of something like that
The question, how to make edit-tags.php show 9999 item (or unlimited) of have a plugin to customize that without hacking the WP core file.
I think the magic is happening here, but changing 20 to 999 dont change anything
'label' => $title,
'default' => 20,
'option' => 'edit_' . $tax->name . '_per_page'

Unable to submit from combo after myForm.getForm().setValues();
I have a combo box of client customer names connected to a remote store that contains... maybe a few hundred records. Too big to preload. But my form also has an "account number" box that when the account number is typed in, and the "lookup" button is pressed, it automatically populates all the form fields. --And this is working great; except...
When I load my form I populate the comboBox id with the index value, and the hiddenValue with the appropriate index value. But, when I try to resubmit the form, the value coming back is null.
I'm thinking that even though the display value is being loaded, the hiddenValue isn't. So, even though the combo has the right text, it's not been actually "selected" and so, when it goes to submit it chokes.
I *suppose* I could rewrite my submission action on the back end to take the display value, and then use that as a key to lookup the correct index value in the database, but... it doesn't seem like I should have to do that when I know the combo box should be able to submit the index in the first place...
Anyone have any ideas? Is this how things are supposed to work? Or, am I be dense and probably missing something obvious?
Code snippets below:
My action:
$n = array(); $n['title'] = $r->title; $n['description'] = $r->description; $n['notes'] = $r->notes; $n['arrival_date'] = $r->arrival_date; $n['provider_id'] = $r->provider_id; //loads the id into the combo $n['provider'] = $this->getFullNameByID($r->provider_id); //loads the text too! $data =trim (CJSON::encode( $n ), "[]"); // removes unnecessary brackets echo "{success:true,data:$data}"; // push payload into a "data" element in a JSON string.
Ext.getCmp("btnLookup").on('click', function() { Ext.Ajax.request({ method: 'POST', url: 'index.php?r=inventory/getCustomerByID', timeout: 60000, params: { id: f.findById("uid").getValue(), }, success: function(result, request) { var jsonData = Ext.util.JSON.decode(result.responseText); var data = jsonData.data; f.getForm().setValues(data); } }); });
dataProvider = function() { return { bodyStyle: 'padding:0 5px', layout: 'form', labelAlign: 'left', defaults: { anchor: '100%' }, items: [{ labelWidth: 55, fieldLabel: 'Data Provider', id: 'provider', xtype: 'combo', editable: false, triggerAction: 'all', typeAhead: false, hideTrigger: false, loadingText: 'Searching...', mode: 'remote', minChars: 2, store: this.nameStore, displayField: 'val', hiddenName: 'provider_id', valueField: 'id' }] }; };
13 Sep 2010 2:00 PM #2
what value is coming back as null? Do you have a hidden field on the form?

1. Your form is not using the 'provider' property. The combobox is using it's own store to get the name for the specified provider_id.
2. If you want the combobox to post the provider name too then you should configure it with:
name: 'provider', submitValue: true

Imagine that we're trying to define the expression $$\int_U f(x)dx$$ in a rigorous way. Assume that $f:X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{\geq 0}$ where $(X,\mu)$ is a measure space, and suppose that $U$ is a measurable subset of $X$. That most typical approach to making this integral rigorous is the method of Lebesgue, whereby we partition the range of $f$ into increasingly small horizontal strips. This seems very elaborate to me - why not just define the integral in the obvious way as the "(product) measure of the set of all points under the curve"? (if its defined; our integrable functions would then be precisely those for which the product measure is indeed defined). We can make this idea precise by writing
$$\int_U f(x)dx := (\mu \times \lambda)(\lbrace (x,y) : x \in U \wedge 0 \leq y \leq f(x)\rbrace)$$
where $\mu$ is the measure on $X$ and $\lambda$ is the standard measure on $\mathbb{R}$.
My question is, why isn't this the "standard" definition of the integral?

Shouldn't they appreciate their customers every day?
@gideonfrost: Are you their customer everyday ?
@kevstrucks: I haven't eaten there in years.
Hmmmmm hope we all don't get burned with this, like the BOGO Papa Johns deal on the 14th. I'll try it around lunch time and post back my results.
Sounds good for lunch!
@gideonfrost: I rest my case .
Looks like it's another region specific code. No luck in Kansas City.
deal dead/region specific?...entered both promo codes...damn online site called me invalid :(...so no to philly
Invalid code in Atlanta area.
No luck for me either in Ohio.
Yeah nothing in harried county Maryland either.... boo
This is just a thought but could the CA letters in the codes represent California?
Dang...foiled again. No dice in Illinois. Those codes might be CAL=California and TX=Texas. Maybe????
Try changing CA to your state if it doesn't work.
except someone from kansas earlier said no dice as well... =/...i figured 2 L TX CA meant 2 large topping X - customer appreciation
@thewidup: You're prob right. Deal is good in TX
not in Ohio, maybe Papa John's dosen't appreciate customers in Ohio
still not as good as their monday deal ($5.99 for 1 topping pizza)
Use Promo Code: Large 2 Top = CAL2TX
customer appreciation large 2 toppings
2 Large 2 Top = 2LTXCA
2 large two toppings customer appreciation
has nothing to do with California or Texas
Working in Dallas TX
Code doesn't work in south Florida. I got $11 for any large pizza, including specialties.
It's a no go in NY as well. So far Papa John only appreciates his Texas customers? Personally, I prefer a good old mom-and-pop real NYC style pizza to the big chains anyway, but was worth trying for the price
NOGO in Bama!
No go in Raleigh NC either
@naihar2110: You're right on the CA=customer appreciation part. No go in California.
No go in MN
No go in Northern Virginia.
No good in the Portland, OR area . . .
Best available eveidence suggests deal is only for TX, and that CA in codes is for Customer Appreciation.

Scott and Kelli talk...
Ali Update
Premature Babies
Coming Home
There Together
This trip with CURE Intl. has been such a great lesson in why we must get out of our "comfort zone". Coming to Afghanistan, with tensions extremely high, certainly gave me a chance to get out of my "comfort zone" this week, and it has been life changing!
Looking down at Ali on that operating table yesterday, I saw myself… Ali was lying there vulnerable and in desperate need of help, just like me. When I was vulnerable and in desperate need of help, it was Jesus who came and rescued me! He left his "comfort zone" to save me, and change my life…Forever! This week the K-LOVE family helped rescue a little Afghan boy, and your efforts will change Ali Sina's life… Forever!
My hope is that this week has demonstrated what can happen when we work together to make a difference for someone else. I don't know what getting out of your "comfort zone" means for you, but I am guessing that you have a pretty good idea what it looks like. If Jesus set the example for us, by leaving his "comfort zone", than I am not sure what makes us think that we can excuse ourselves from doing the same? He has called each of us to love as he loved, to treat "the least of these" as we would Jesus, himself. Jesus left his "comfort zone" to change our lives forever…now it's your turn to leave your "comfort zone" to change someone else's life!

Today has been life changing to say the least, I believe we all have those "Aha Moments" from time to time, today was one of those for me! I sat in an operating room in Kabul, Afghanistan for 45 minutes, and watched a doctor change a child's life, and the life of his family. It is hard to imagine that $1,000 changed little Ali Sina's life… FOREVER! You, the K-LOVE family, did that! You changed a little boy's life today!
Do you want to help more kids? Right now, there are 100 million kids, just like Ali, who have a CUREable disability that can be fixed with a simple surgery. The number seems staggering, and it is, but what's even more staggering is just how simple it is to help change their lives… $1,000 and 45 minutes.
I know that most of can't give $1,000, but here's what's beautiful, you don't have to. This is about being part of a community, as the Church, working together we can make a difference! Maybe it's you, as a Sunday school teacher, small group leader or youth pastor, getting your friends together to help CURE Intl. change a life just like Ali. We won't change all 100 million kids lives this year, but together we can put a dent in it, start today, right here… K-LOVE + CURE

WEIRTON - Bids for Phase II of the sewer upgrade came in slightly higher than what Weirton officials had projected, but it won't impact the new rate structure council put in place two years ago.
Utilities Director A.D. "Butch" Mastrantoni said eight contractors submitted bids for one or more of the contracts.
"I was really pleased," he said. "I think we had six bids on Contract 2 - that level of participation really gave us some very competitive prices. That got me encouraged. And Contracts 3 and 4, to have three bids submitted for each of them is really good. Typically, if you get one or two bids you get whatever it is they want to bid, but with that much competition, it seems like you get more bang for your bucks."
Apparent low bidders for Phase II were:
Alex Paris Contracting Co., Atlasburg, Pa., installation of new sewer lines from the north end to Freedom Way (Contract 2), $2,596,350.50.
Ferri Contracting, pump station upgrade (Contract 3), $1,160,000.
James White Construction, odor control system (Contract 4), $98,000.
Mastrantoni said the bids, as submitted, came in about $120,000 above estimate, "but it falls within the guidelines" of the new rate structure. He also pointed out that the $493,192 contract for Phase I work, awarded to James White Construction, came in about $200,000 below estimate.
At Thursday's Sanitary Board meeting, board members were updated on the bids but did not take action. Mastrantoni said none will be taken until the board's engineers finish "reviewing and certifying the material submitted."
"We won't be taking action until next month," he said. "Next month we'll probably have notice of award and subsequently issue a notice to proceed. Probably in mid- to late-August you'll see contractors in the field getting ready to move dirt, getting ready for the excavation and installation of pipelines.
"The engineers' estimates give it 11 months for substantial completion, total completion in 13 months. Not discounting the effects the weather may have, we're looking basically at 12 or 13 months to completion," he said.

Three Generations of Books
The book above is such a special book. It's a copy of Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. Originally it belonged to my grandmother. My mother says that in her memories my grandmother has always had it. Since the name my grandmother wrote in the front of the book is her maiden name, I suspect she had it even before she got married. Funnily enough, I remember that book being in my mother's possession for as long as I can remember, even though my grandmother was still alive back then. She must have given it to my mother. And now it's on my bookshelf. Three generations of women reading and loving the same book. Perhaps one day I'll have a daughter who will read and enjoy this timeless classic?
This little booklet – The Ballet-lover's Pocket Book – belongs to my mother. My aunt S. gave it to her. Between my mother (the youngest) and aunt S. (the oldest) is about twenty years. While my mother was going to school, my aunt was already living in England and had a well-paying job. She loved ballet and everything to do with ballet, which was probably why this little book caught her eye. She gave it to my mother when she was still a young girl. My mother loved to look through it and try some of the steps on the pages.
Later in my mother's life, during the time that she made dolls, this little booklet with all of its poses of the human body was extremely helpful. Well, according to my mother anyway – I've never made dolls so I wouldn't know. What I do know is that I discovered this booklet on my mother's bookshelf when I was a little girl myself. Of course I had to try out some of the steps! And so the next generation had much fun with this little booklet.
The last book, shown below, is one of my own books. I am the first person in my family who reads more English books than Dutch books. While the first two books have been introduced by their English title, they are actually the Dutch translation. Not so with The First Man in Rome. For at least the last six years (and probably a little longer) I've been reading books in English if that's the language they were originally written in. There's just so much lost in translation, I'd rather read it like the author wrote it.
This particular book is a special one. You can see that while it's a fairly recent buy – bought in 2010 – it's already fairly battered. It's also the only book I have ever written in. This book has travelled the world with me – hence the rather battered appearance – and I decided that writing down where and when I read it would be nice. Considering it's a historical novel set in Rome, it's appropriate that I started reading it during a weekend spent in Rome in August 2010. The hotel room had a door that led to a roof terrace that was lovely to sit on. In the early mornings I had breakfast there and read a bit, in the afternoons when I took a bit of time to relax before going out for dinner I sat and read there as well. Still, the book is almost 900 pages long. Not something I can read in a weekend when I'm also exploring one of my favorite cities. Yet at home I was busy, so I didn't read in it anymore.
So when in September 2010 I went to Abisko, Sweden – a little place close to the arctic circle with a big biology research station – for an excursion with a master class I was taking, it seemed like the ideal time to bring my book. Working from early in the morning until dinner kept me busy, but the evenings were free and there really wasn't much to do. We were in the middle of nowhere, a little town that had a railway station (maybe four trains a day, if that), a supermarket, and a church. The research station with all of its buildings and inhabitants was about as big as the rest of the town. Don't get me wrong, it was beautiful there. The woods were turning golden – it reminded me of Lothlórien, the Golden Woods from The Lord of the Rings – and the northern lights that we were lucky to see one night were every bit as amazing as I'd always been told. But in the evenings I installed myself with a hot cup of tea and my book. On the last evening we were there I read until deep into the night to finish it – everybody else who was still up (about half the group) gave a huge cheer when I finally finished it. They couldn't really understand why in the world I would read my evening away instead of joining them for drinks, but they were supportive anyway. It's a group of people I will always have fond memories off. And a darn good book!

Cathy: Thanks!ReplyDelete
What wonderful books in your post! Loved reading it!ReplyDelete
Ah, Gone With the Wind... such a great book! I have a copy of it on my own bookshelf. Colleen McCullough is an author I've heard many good things about but never read myself. And the ballet manual... I've never heard of ballet taught from a book, by why not? ;-) Thanks so much for sharing and participating in the COG!ReplyDelete
I think I will look into the "The First Man in Rome". It must be very good for you to read all 900 pages.ReplyDelete
Great post! I love the book passed down from your Grandmother. The simplest things often hold the greatest memories!ReplyDelete
Such wonderful memories from three, o, so different books! Absolutely a delightful post. Thanks.ReplyDelete

I do a lot of work in the terminal so I have learned a lot about my shell of choice, zsh. What features of zsh do you use to make yourself that much more productive at work? One of my favorites is the multi-dir autocomplete. So instead of typing
cd /fo{tab}/ba{tab}/ba{tab} I can just do
cd /fo/ba/ba{tab} and save that many keystrokes!

Just found this little gem:
This form of
For example, if your working directory is
I'll keep to things that, as far as I know, bash can't do.
function - { if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]; then cd "$OLDPWD" else builtin - "$@" fi }
alias zcp='noglob zmv -C' alias zln='noglob zmv -L' alias zmv='noglob zmv'
term_title_base='@%l: %1~' preexec () { print -nr $'\e]2;'"${(%)term_title_base} $*"'$\a' } precmd () { print -nr $'\e]2;'"${(%)term_title_base} ($?)"'$\a' }
fancy-ctrl-z () { if [[ $#BUFFER -eq 0 ]]; then bg zle redisplay else zle push-input fi } zle -N fancy-ctrl-z bindkey '^Z' fancy-ctrl-z
zsh's ability to autocomplete things besides files and directories.
For example, with the git package installed, git-sh{tab} brings up:
- git command - shortlog -- summarizes git log output show-branch -- shows branches and their commits show-index -- displays contents of a pack idx file
I really like the global aliases so
let me do things like
and get paging.
As mentioned by others, zsh's autocomplete is excellent.
You can setup your own autocomplete for custom commands without too much hassle as well. To tab complete usernames as arguments to finger:
Other options I like to have set:
Pushd and popd are also pretty handy.
Annoyingly the home and end keys don't by default work on zsh like they do on other shells, but you can fix this.
Enable auto-complete when using
The right prompt for displaying additional info.

One of my friend told me the complier is writen in C. Is this true? Is more like a shoud know question
php is written in C?
Yes most are anyways. Plus compiler is a program which converts High Level language into Low Level laguage (or Machine readable i.e. Assembly or Machice code).
I hope this helps.
I hope this helps.
Does it matter?
No , it doesn't matter. I'll continue using PHP even if i found that is written in Pascal ... or something. Just need to hear a second opinion, i'm not sure about my friends sources.

I'm having some trouble understanding a definition and explanation in my textbook Introduction to Analysis by Edward Gaughan 5th edition. The book begins with some preliminary information about sets and some of the information is sort of confusing and I have a feeling that in this sort of class if you don't understand the basics you are doomed. So hopefully somebody out there can help me understand the confusing bits a little better.
So the definition in question is as follows:
Let $\Lambda$ be a set, and suppose for each $\lambda \in \Lambda$, a subset $A_{\lambda}$ of a given set S is specified. The collection of sets $A_{\lambda}$ is called an indexed family of subsets of S with $\Lambda$ as the index set. We denote this by ${\{ A \}}_{\lambda \in \Lambda}$
If ${\{ A \}}_{\lambda \in \Lambda}$ is an indexed family of sets, define
$\cap_{\lambda \in \Lambda}$ $A_{\lambda}$ = {x : x $\in A_{\lambda}$ for all $\lambda \in \Lambda$}
$\cup_{\lambda \in \Lambda}$ $A_{\lambda}$ = {x : x $\in A_{\lambda}$ for some $\lambda \in \Lambda$}
Alright so the definition above I thought was straightforward, but then the text goes on to say this:
There is one logical difficulty here that needs to be pointed out. If $\Lambda$ is the empty set, then it is easy to see that $\cup_{\lambda \in \Lambda} A_{\lambda}$ is empty; however, it is not clear what to expect of $\cap_{\lambda \in \Lambda} A_{\lambda}$.
The bolded explanation is what I do not understand. If $\Lambda$ is the empty set there will be no subsets to union because there are no elements $\lambda \in \Lambda$ but why is it not clear that $\cap_{\lambda \in \Lambda} A_{\lambda}$ is also empty, won't there also be no subsets $A_{\lambda}$ to seek the intersection of??
The text ends with the following conclusion:
In a context where all sets considered are understood to be subsets of a given set S, the common usage is to let:
S = $\cap_{\lambda \in \oslash} A_{\lambda}$
Any information would be appreciated.

The 8 Most Disgusting Animal Defenses
One of our favorite animals we ever featured here was that lizard that sprays blood from its own eyes when threatened. As awesome as it is, though, it's actually not the grossest defense mechanism in nature.
#8. The Turkey Vulture's Twice-Rotten Peace Offering
Vomiting on a predator is a time-honored tradition in the Animal Kingdom, but the turkey vulture has honed this simple skill into a veritable art form. Already, there are few animals willing to kill and eat a turkey vulture -- presumably because these birds eat rotting carrion, shellfish that washed up on shore and died days earlier, and fecal matter from other animals. Oh, and they clean themselves with their own piss. But that's not the grossest part.
On the rare instances when the turkey vulture does run into something that would like to eat it (something that is literally starving to death, we'd imagine), it's got a great plan for how to get away.
Why doesn't it just fly away? Well, if the vulture has just eaten, it has gorged itself on so much spoiled meat that it's too heavy to take off. So, the turkey vulture, too fat to fly, vomits everything in its stomach up in front of the predator as a peace offering. This isn't just your run-of-the-mill disgusting vomit, either. This is vomit that is made from all the horrible odds and ends other animals have left behind; this is rotting maggot-infested shit-covered vomit.
"Like yours is any nicer."
And once the turkey vulture has emptied out the contents of its vile gut, it waddles its fat ass away while the predator snarfs down the big steaming pile of puke. Good job, turkey vulture; crisis averted. This is why you have no friends.
Via Gildart Photo
And yet, there is one bird that does puke better ...
#7. Fulmars Spray Puke Glue
Baby birds. There's little in the world that are as cute and defenseless.
Baby birds are at the mercy of predators. They can't fly and can all too easily become lunch if a predator can climb up to the nest. That's why the fulmar -- a species of sea bird that nests on cliffs -- has developed an innovative defense mechanism that keeps chicks safe and intruders from ever returning.
The term fulmar means "foul gull," and it is aptly named. When confronted with anything -- from predatory eagles to gulls passing by to unwary rock climbers -- the fulmar chick will projectile vomit an oily secretion all over the face of the approaching animal.
Via The Internet Bird Collection
That orange filth that shoots out of the birds' mouths creates a rotten fish smell that won't come off, no matter how long you spend scrubbing it off your horny layer in the shower.
It's not just the smell that makes a fulmar chick's defense mechanism so horrible, either. When the gut oil of this bird gets on the feathers of other sea birds, it's so sticky that they can't get it off. It glues their feathers together, making it impossible for the poor birds to fly. When these other birds, horrified at the prospect of spending another minute on Fulmar Island, take to the water to escape, the gut oil of the fulmar chick causes the birds to lose their buoyancy and they drown.
Caw! Caw! We're really much more terrible than we look! Caw!
That's right: The fulmar chick projectile vomits murder-oil onto the feathers of other birds. It does it to its own parents too, and to camera-holding Scotsmen who wander too close.
Fortunately for the survival of the fulmar, and yet, unfortunately for the cleanliness of cold-island-rock-climbers everywhere, the fulmar's parents are immune to the oils in the chick's vomit. In fact, they greet their disgusting babies by leaning down low and vomiting fresh fish into their little hungry tummies. And so the cycle of horror continues.
#6. Tublizard (aka The Komodo Dragon)
The Komodo dragon is 9 feet and 150 pounds of bad attitude. They live on a few isolated islands in the South Pacific because they were too gnarly for Australia -- home of gun toting spiders and blood drinking dingoes -- to handle. Size, mass and speed aside, the main attack and defense of the Komodo dragon is their bite. And it ain't because of their teeth. It's their filthy, infected mouths. Check this out:
In that video, a Komodo dragon lands a largely superficial bite on a water buffalo and then ... waits. He knows his bite will eventually do its work.
"I do not floss."
They're not poisonous. Their mouths are just so disgusting that they might as well be. The gingival tissue surrounding their teeth is constantly being lacerated, causing perpetual open wounds and the flow of blood. This turns their mouths into a Taco Bell-level bacterial orgy. After biting the buffalo, the lizard knows it's only a matter of time before the infection kills it, and then it can then feast on the toxic meat left behind.
Funk mouth is great for something that can otherwise simply tail whip you out to sea, but what about the vulnerable Komodo dragon pups? To keep safe while they farm their own oral rot, the young lizards bathe themselves in the entrails and feces of larger lizard's kills -- a move as much functional as it is fashionable.
When a Komodo dragon eats, they shake the kill's intestines around to empty them of their contents. The young then roll in the fecal matter to obtain a scent that even the world's most shit-happy rolling dog would call offensive.
What predators are the young protecting themselves from? Larger dragons that see the young as little Komodo buffalo wings.
That does look like it would be pretty unbelievable with barbecue sauce.
#5. The Hairy Frog Will Shank You
Commonly called hairy frogs for the sweet Chester A. Arthur muttonchops they sport, these slimy guys hail from the West Coast area of central Africa.
Via Gustavocarra
They live your general, unimpressive frog existence: start off as tadpoles cruising the waterways, develop some legs, eat some slugs, grow to about the size of your fist and periodically enter into ritual combat with Pinhead and the other cenobites from Hellraiser.
In the box? A hairy frog. He keeps it in there because it scares him.
See, the hairy frog has a second common name: the horror frog. Apparently the hairy frog spent some time in prison and got himself a nickname to go along with his reputation for shanking fools with a shiv. A shiv made from its own bones.
Via David C. Blackburn
Frogs are hardcore.
When these guys get picked on in a bar, they've got a plan a little more intimidating than cracking their neck or showing off their writhing python-esque abs: They break their feet. Seriously. According to New Scientist, they break a bone in their hind feet and shove the goddamned sharpened, splintered spikes through their skin. Yes, just like ...
What could be more impressive than that? How about if Wolverine could sprout stabbing appendages from all over his body? You know, like the Spanish Ribbed Newt ...

H33rsay: Call of Duty 2014 is Modern Warfare, and other rumours from a reputed YouTube tipsterWritten by: / / No Comments
H33rsay is El33tonline's round-up of game industry rumours and speculation where we have looks at unconfirmed and unannounced pieces of news emerging from anonymous tipsters, information leaks and generally dubious sources. It may not all be true, but it's still fun to talk about!
It's a rumour we've heard before, with supposed details on how 2014's edition of Call of Duty may tie into the events of previous Modern Warfare games (and how it could follow up on the ending of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3), but fresh reports on the next Call of Duty game have appeared from a reputed and previously reliable YouTube tipster, Drift0r.
Drift0r was responsible for leaking details of Call of Duty: Ghosts, who revealed the game's name and a swathe of gameplay details well ahead of Ghosts' formal announcement. Those details came from a reliable source inside what he calls the 'Call of Duty machine,' but this time he's received details from another source that he hasn't had contact with before.
Somewhat Reliable?
The rumoured details relate to what we've previously called 'Call of Duty 2014,' currently confirmed to be in development at Sledgehammer Games with work on the game led on new generation consoles to ensure a step up on features for the series.
In a video containing footage from a Call of Duty: Ghosts, Drift0r speaks about being approached by a new source who provided him with assets and gameplay taken from Call of Duty 2014, which is now believed to be a Modern Warfare game – not necessarily Modern Warfare 4, but a new entry to the series. Under conditions of extreme secrecy, Drift0r speaks about how the assets that he saw seemed "somewhat futuristic" which leads him to believe that it's not set in the past or during modern times – a 'day after tomorrow' situation,' if you will, with logical progressions on current technology and weaponry (similar to Black Ops 2).
Drift0r also speaks about a few technological advances as far as visuals are concerned, with reflections, dynamic lighting systems in place and glimpses of physics model, while the first-person character had some sort of arm brace (again, similar to Black Ops 2), with talk of an "extremely large" and detailed map that seems very vertical in nature, too.
Drift0r also makes mention of something called 'Black Smith,' which he believes is simply a code name for Call of Duty 2014, while he threads the needle on why he thinks that the recent round of personalisation packs for Call of Duty: Ghosts and Black Ops 2 (featuring Modern Warfare characters) might point to the release of a new Modern Warfare in the future.
There are a few other snippets of details in the video that may mean more to hardcore Call of Duty fans, so watch below and let us know if there's anything of major importance to the Call of Duty series that you can suss out:

Unanswered: Keep focus on searchfield whil tab clear icon
I have a search field and I want do write text and finish it with the iPhone keybard button DONE or ENTER. The ENTER button works with the action event but the DONE button can just be used with the blure event.
Now I just use the bluer event for sending the search request but there are a problem:
If I write something in my searchfield and want to clean it with the (X) button, so it lost the focus and the blur event starts over.
What I want is, that I can send a search request by touching the ENTER and DONE button in iphone keyboard.
How can I do that?

Browser behavior will blur the field if you tap off the actual field which you are technically doing with the clear icon.
The issue is that blur fires before the tap on the clear iconMitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

this is a bad work around but this is worked for me
I have some workaround for this issue but this is not a "good" workaround.
I'm using Sencha touch 2.1.
The key is inside Sencha touch file "Default.js" in function "doBlurInput".
this is the original implementation:
doBlurInput: function(e) { var target = e.target, focusedElement = this.focusedElement; if (focusedElement && !this.isInputRegex.test(target.tagName)) { delete this.focusedElement; focusedElement.blur(); } },
doBlurInput: function(e) { var target = e.target, focusedElement = this.focusedElement; if (focusedElement && !this.isInputRegex.test(target.tagName) && (target.className.toString().indexOf('x-clear-icon') < 0)) { delete this.focusedElement; focusedElement.blur(); } },
So basically they don't calling the blur event if this is an input element but they don't checking if this is the inputs' clear icon element and prevent the blur action again.
the good part is that this workaround working.
The Bad part is that i didn't succeed to overWrite Sencha Touch class "Ext.viewport.Default"
so for now i'm overwriting the Default.js itself and if you wish to over write your clear-icon cls this is not generic solution.
I think Sencha should handle this bug in their way

The Augusta City Council got an initial look at the conceptual designs for a project to expand South Ohio Street.
The scope of the project would go from Main St. to the new Kelly and Ohio intersection.
The governing body could be excused if they had a little sticker shock from the $3.4 million price tag on the 4,000 foot project.
But most on the council agreed that going forward with plans to expand from a 35-foot wide two-lane road to a 38-foot wide three-lane road was the best choice for the city.
"I think with the investment we have made at Kelly and Ohio, we would want a three-lane road to the south to handle the additional traffic," Mayor Kristey Williams said.
Water and storm sewer lines as well as utility pole relocation will complicate this project and add to the expense.
The work on the Kelly and Ohio intersection is on track to finish on time, with the intersection opening back up in the first week of August.

Some kind of error
i have encountered some error while using Architect. It shows on the image below.
This error occured while creating tabbed interface. It seems that Architect can`t set up active tab. Tabs are cloned each time I switch between them in design editor window. But tabs becomes normal when i press "Refresh CSS" button.
Link to my Dropbox folder to see video:
This error became a blocker for my project, because i can`t create new tabs (getting this error each time) or deploy the project (tabs in deployed project does not switch). Any help will be appreciated

Are you able to provide us with a copy of your project archive?
You can send it privately to architect.feedback at sencha.com.Aaron Conran

Sure, have sent it to your mail.
15 Oct 2012 1:20 AM #4
Resolved this issue by myself
Trying to fix this problem I have found the place where mistake was. In my case the matter was that I specified an ID to "Panel" component of my "tabsPanel" and Duplicated it later.
I changed id for my second tab and problem was solved.
It may be a good idea to inform user about duplicated id while element cloning.
15 Oct 2012 7:46 AM #5
Yeah we've added more checks for duplicating id's and I don't think we clone that anymore on duplication. Expect this helpfulness in Architect 2.2Phil Strong

I recently read this sentence:
It was a strategic move rather than a tactical one.
I have trouble interpreting it. Can someone help?
I recently read this sentence:
I have trouble interpreting it. Can someone help?
Tactics address immediate needs; strategy addresses long-term ones. Somtimes it is worth taking a loss in the short term (what would seem like bad tactics) for long-term strategic advantage.
The terms are used with regard to the military but are broader: business, games, financial planning, etc:
The great chess grandmaster Savielly Tartakower had the best explanation of the difference that I have ever heard:
I can't improve on that. Not even a little.
A strategic move is generally a more important move that matters in the long term, while a tactical move is less important and matters in a shorter term.
Strategy comes from Greek στρᾰτηγός (stratêgos), "general", which comes from στρᾰτός (stratos), "army", and ἄγω (agô), "to lead". It is used for the kind of decisions a general makes, ones that matter on a large scale.
Tactics comes from Greek τακτικός (taktikos), "fit for arranging", which comes from τάκ-τω/τάττω/τάσσω (taktô/tattô/tassô), "to order, position". It concerns the arranging of troops on the battlefield.
Consider the famous Greek general Pyrrhus, who defeated the Roman legions several times around 280 BC. While he was victorious, he lost so many troops to the Romans that his army would never again be able to defeat the new Roman armies that eventually came, and he lost in the end. His short-lived victory was a strategic defeat: while tactically he achieved his objective of defeating the Romans at the time, he should probably have retreated and let them conquer a province or two. If you win a battle but thereby lose the war, you have achieved a Pyrrhic victory.
In business, these terms are often used metaphorically. But in many cases they are used very loosely, so as to become nearly synonymous. If used in opposition, strategy is usually more important and matters in the long run, while tactics are less important and matter on a smaller scale.
I always liked this expression, it's concise and gets the difference across:
I found the following for tactical in NOAD:
and the following for strategic:
So tactical would refer to targeting something military for immediate support whereas strategic would refer to targeting something not directly military in order to weaken the enemy in the long run.
A strategy is generally a longer term plan or an overall vision, and strategic decisions are usually ones that are aimed at achieving those future goals over that long term.
Tactics are the smaller scale decisions and techniques that are used to achieve, piece by piece the objectives of the strategy.
For instance, you could have a plan to purchase one of every single Pez dispenser design ever made for an average price of less than $1 by haggling at flea markets and yard sales over the next 5 years. That would be a strategy. You're going to spend every weekend driving around looking for Pez dispensers and purchasing the ones you don't have.
Now, let's say you spot a rare Pez dispenser at a flea market, but there's someone else looking at it and it's a bit more expensive than you'd like to pay. How are you going to get the other person to pass it over? How are you going to convince the vendor that he's asking too much for it? Whatever plan you decide to use, those are tactical decisions.
Another way to differentiate between them, strategy is more about thinking but tactics are more practical.
strategic = what
What do we want to achieve?
This is a cite from the Wikipedia article "Strategy":
The explanation at the beginning of this article is a little bit confusing and uses the words
Strategic has to do with strategy, and tactical has to do with tactics. Strategic refers to the science or art of planning and directing military movements, tactical refers to the process of achieving the objectives set out by the strategy.
This is tactics:
So strategy actually refers to the thinking out, and tactics refers to the doing it. Does this change in "tactical" and "strategic"?
This is tactical:
This is strategic:
Lieutenants act "Tactically", they respond to the situation in front of them, with a short term objective. They have direct control of all the pawns around them (in theory...).
Generals act "Strategically", they decide where all the lieutenants go, in order to accomplish a greater mission.
Everybody in between, acts "Logistically", they facilitate the lieutenants getting to where the generals want them, at the right time and with the right supplies.
yes, there are many examples of corner cases where people have acted "out of turn". Often to grand effect, as a sergeant stepping in when a lieutenant has been disabled, or a captain fulfilling a tactical role. Such vicarious action does not negate the overall structure.

Technip and Sasol, the owner of the world's leading gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology, have established an alliance for front-end engineering services on future projects.
Technip and Sasol, the owner of the worlds leading
gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology, have established an alliance
for front-end engineering services for future Sasol GTL
projects, the companies said on Wednesday.
The alliance also allows for Technips participation
during the execution stage of future GTL projects. Officials said
the alliance, which builds on existing relationships, aims
to achieve strong capital productivity through the highest
standards of HSE, operability, accelerated innovation and
reduced project cycle times.
GTL technology is a process for
converting natural gas into petroleum products such as naphtha
and diesel fuel that are very clean with effectively no
pollution-causing sulfur or aromatic hydrocarbons.
The companies say the high-cetane number of the diesel
fuel will help meet future more stringent
Sasol is excited about its GTL future," said Lean
Strauss, senior group executive at Sasol. "We are
confident that in working closely together, the design and
execution expertise of Technip will significantly further
enhance the robustness of our GTL value proposition as we grow
our business where our technology strength
GTL technology is becoming increasingly important not only for
the environmental advantages of its
products, but also because it provides an efficient and safe
solution for the transportation of natural gas.
A large portion of gas reserves are considered unusable or
stranded because they are too far from consumers
and difficult to transport. GTL offers a way to convert
stranded gas into petroleum products that can be transported
and sold using conventional tankers, pipelines, storage facilities and retail distribution
Technip's operating center in Rome, Italy, which
serves as its reference and main execution center for GTL,
will be in charge of managing the alliance. Its tasks
will include strengthening the relationship between the
Technip Stone & Webster Process Technology center in
Boston, Massachusetts, with Sasol Technology for the hydrocarbon synthesis technology
Through the acquisition of Stone & Webster process
technologies, Technip has become the exclusive co-developer of
Sasols hydrocarbon synthesis reactor technology," said Nello
Uccelletti, Technips senior vice president for
onshore work.
"We are proud to be Sasols contractor of choice for its
future GTL facility projects, thereby confirming both
our leading position worldwide as one of the few contractors
with experience in major GTL facilities and our long-term
relationship with Sasol," he added.
