I am building a custom theme WordPress instance, which needs to be Arabic at the public face and English on Admin site, but with RTL (flush right) in editing fields. My theme takes care of the public face, but I need help with themeing the admin side.
I know there is a way to make the blog all Arabic, but I wanted all the admin labels and category names to stay English. I only want all admin text entry fields to become RTL. Oh, and plugins-generated text entry fields too, but I suspect that's more difficult.
I know it is a CSS change, but not sure where to start with such partial customization of the interface.

isDirty works fine on empty form but returns true after form.load
I just built ext from the SVN and was testing the monitoring and isDirty.
I wanted to accomplish a 'Save' button when the data in a form isValid && isDirty.
So I tuned on monitoring of the form and check for the event like this.
HTML Code:
form[tmpdlgid].on('clientvalidation', function(){ if(form[tmpdlgid].isDirty() && form[tmpdlgid].isValid()){ console.debug (form[tmpdlgid].isDirty()); submitbutton[tmpdlgid].enable(); } });
However, when on the same form, using form load...
HTML Code:
console.debug('got an ID, loading...'); form[dlgid].stopMonitoring(); form[dlgid].load({ url : 'jsonform.php', waitMsg : 'loading data...', params : {'id' : id} }); form[dlgid].startMonitoring();
Looks like a bug?
Either this is by design or a bug..
I put:HTML Code:
console.debug('isDirty -> new value: '+String(this.getValue())+' / old value: '+String(this.originalValue));
This is what I got in Firebug:
isDirty -> new value: jim / old value:
Means that the isDirty function is checking this.originalvalue which is empty while it should have the loaded data which in this case is 'jim'. Is this by design? Shoudn't dirty mean any change since the original loaded data?

The config option "trackResetOnLoad" will reset originalValues when forms are loaded if set to true.Jack Slocum

Thanks Jack!!!
I looked into the source code and saw how you did it. Now I understand.
Thanks for your reply!!
9 May 2007 10:48 PM #4
does this mean trackResetOnLoad and the isDirty() support are both tied to the originalValue used for .reset()
or: when i load a record with trackResetOnLoad=false the isDirty() will only check the current value against the inital empty state?
if so, i guess some shortcut to explicitly clear a form or a field would be useful.

Yes, originalValue is the original value.Jack Slocum

.. Edit ..
I think there needs to be a way to reset a form's isDirty property to false and reset each fields originalValue to the current values. Here's why:
1. Form loads (all fields are clear, adding new record)
2. User fills in the fields and submits the form
3. Form submit was successful, now hide/show certain buttons to "maintain" that record. I.e. Remove the "Insert Record" button and show the "Update Record" button.
At this point any call to reset() should reset to the last successful saved state without having to reload the record after the successful save callback. Something like "form.resetIsDirty()" which would reset the dirty state of each field and redefine each fields originalValue to the current value. This would be very helpful.
I also agree with neongrau that there should be some method to explicitly clear all fields regardless of their originalValue.
30 Nov 2007 4:34 PM #8
check event fires before originalValue = getValue()
This thread has been helpful for my understanding of how trackResetOnLoad works. I am, however, seeing some strange behavior with checkboxes on my form.
My form consists of checkboxes and textboxes. I have the checkbox check event wired up to the same handler as the textbox blur event:
PHP Code:
function onFormValueChanged(source){
if (source.isDirty()) {
// do stuff...
I might be satisfied with just using the blur event for all the form controls, but I need to invoke onFormValueChanged when the user merely checks the checkbox and doesn't leave focus.
I did set a breakpoint on ext-all-debug.js, line 27324. For the checkboxes, originalValue does get set to getValue() when I have trackResetOnLoad = true; but the problem is that this assignment happens *after* the check event fires during form load. With the blur event the assignment happens before the event fires.
Is this by design? If so, what's a good work-around? It seems to me that trackResetOnLoad may not be working properly with checkboxes, but I'm still largely an ExtJS noob, so perhaps I'm missing something here.
30 Nov 2007 5:09 PM #9
I figured out an OK work-around: wire up the check event handlers in a BasicForm.actioncomplete event handler. This solves the problem for now, but it seems like I shouldn't have to do this.

A Record that can't be broken.
The Record Pro-Fit Plus pedals are lightweight by any standard thanks to their titanium axle and light alloy bodies. In comparison to other feathery pedals, though, weight savings doesn't come at the cost of forcing you to use a system with compact dimensions. The foot platform is generously wide so it spreads the application of force more evenly throughout the entire ball of the foot for greater comfort and a more efficient transmission of power. Nevertheless, the overall pedal width maintains its compactness for steep banking so you won't scrape them in turns. The internal springs have been modified to ensure uniform release pressure. They have new graphics and a new finish that matches them to the rest of Record: clear anodizing over Campagnolo's distinctive, jewel-like, lustrous finish of richly burnished/polished aluminum.
The actual weight of the Campagnolo Record Pro-Fit Plus Pedals is 271g.
- Alloy body
- Titanium axle
- Anodized finish
- Adjustable release

Bayadere premiere
Posted 23 February 2004 - 01:57 PM
I'd like to see more Van Manen; I wish more of his ballets had entered American repertories. Many are small-cast, so they'd be ideal for small or mid-sized companies.
With apologies to Begium for hijacking your thread to talk about international issues!!!
Posted 23 February 2004 - 02:11 PM
No, honnest, I find that DNB has really fine dancers. Must say I was surprised to see Sofiane Sylve in the broadcasted 'Sleeping Beauty' though !
Herman, I'm eager to hear you about our Bayadère
Posted 23 February 2004 - 02:16 PM
We actually have five other people who've registered here listing Belgium as their location. If you're out there, please tell us what you thought of Bayadere!!
Posted 23 February 2004 - 02:39 PM
As far as I understand from the HNB booklets under Wayne Eagling the notion "international" had a lot to do with the fact that internationally renowned choreographers worked with and for the company and sort of created an "international" repertory. (Something which the POB also always takes great pride in.) They named first of all the famous Dutch choreographers (the Vans), followed by a whole group of big names from today's dance world - Carlson, Forsythe, Lock, Marin, among others.
I felt, too, that the favorable comparison with POB, Kirov, Bolshoi, RB, ABT was pushing it a bit too far, but yet, Herman, on the other hand it isn't that far-fetched when you realize the richness and diversity of the HNB's repertory - and what's more, they can give a more than decent (to put it this way) show of everything they have. Frankly, I never felt that way about the Royal Ballet of Flanders, even though that company, too, is of a pretty good level and is attempting the same things, but it's simply no comparison to what HNB can do - and the difference is not just by sheer number of dancers.
It will be interesting to hear your take on the Bayadère, Herman.
Posted 23 February 2004 - 02:47 PM
There was a funny documentary, sort of "The Making of" of "Swan Lake" (or rather in this case "The Unmaking of....") :grinning: In one scene we had Fabre supervising the rehearsals of the swans in act 2. It still looked like Ivanov. But then Fabre suggested to just drop those particular steps - they didn't make sense to him. And that's what they did.

I will tell you, Viviane and Marc, in March!
Must say I was surprised to see Sofiane Sylve in the broadcasted 'Sleeping Beauty' though !
Herman, I'm eager to hear you about our Bayadère
So may I ask what you thought of Sofiane's Aurora, Viviane?
Perhaps we should go to the DNB room, but I thought her Act I was simply astounding (I saw it three times in a row). It was Beauty and Beast in one, emphasizing Aurora's birthday girl audacity. Sofiane may have wanted to show Amsterdam one last time what they are going to miss for quite a bunch of years.
I would love to hear how you felt about it.
Marc, I think it's perfectly OK to be not quite the Kirov (if only for not having trilions of principals) and yet be a wonderful company, like the DNB. I love 'em. On the other hand I think the Flanders Ballet, which is a notch down anyway, isn't helped by having to tour the relentless way they do (with a limited number of good dancers).

I thought I'd treat you to a quote from today's Bayadère review in the NRC Handelsblad (more or less the paper of record in Holland).
After some remarks on the set and the awkward dresses it concludes:
"What makes this production successful [de kracht van deze voorstelling ligt in] is the dancers' high level [kwaliteit] and spontaneity. If you're looking for the pure beauty of classical dance there's a lot to enjoy in the exemplary corps and in ballerina Aysem Sunal, who gives the deceived Nikia stirring nobility, poetry and passion."
I should note the review is by Ine Rietstap (a dancer from the fifties) who cannot mention the DNB's Larissa Lezhnina without using the words "robotic smile".

LOL ! Thank you, Herman, you really made my day.
I should note the review is by Ine Rietstap (a dancer from the fifties) who cannot mention the DNB's Larissa Lezhnina without using the words "robotic smile".

Viviane and Marc will hopefully forgive me if I say there is only one way of finding out if the Bayadère is worth your time and money, and that's by going yourself. Who knows? Maybe you'll love it just like you did Nutcracker.
And if you do, don't forget to post.
I'm going in three weeks sharp.

Luna Lovegood is one of Hogwarts students, and she is also a character that has a role in the Harry Potter series that makes an impact on fans. Sadly I stopped following the Harry Potter series a long time ago so I'm not familiar with the actual background of Luna. I do know that if you are a fan, or if you are one of the people that asked for this tut, you will enjoy drawing Luna Lovegood. That is all I have to say for this description, have fun and leave some feedback if you want. Peace out amigos.

My wife has an iPhone 3G, I have an iPhone 4.
Ever since she upgraded to iOS 4, her phone has been much slower than it was on iOS 3.
My iPhone 4, upon upgrading to iOS 5, isn't slower. Instead it has greatly reduced battery life and gets physically warm for seemingly no reason.
What do these two things have in common (besides being upgraded to a firmware designed for the next generation of hardware)?
Both phones can be temporarily healed of their maladies by being Double Hard Reset.
According to Cult of Mac:
To perform a Hard Reset, press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons on your iPhone simultaneously for 5 to 10 seconds. After a few seconds the Slide to Power Off notice will appear, ignore this and keep holding down both buttons. In another few seconds the device should abruptly turn off
They go on to say that the device will reboot itself after you've done this, but both of my devices stay off.
To complete the Double Hard Reset, you need to power on the phone after you've done this and do it again before the phone gets to your lock screen.
I have personally experienced this helping both phones with their various issues numerous times.
Why does this help? What does doing a Double Hard Reset do to the phones?

President Barack Obama walks on the tarmac with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, right, and Israeli President Shimon Peres, left, prior to his departure from Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, Friday, March 22, 2013, (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
HAVANA (AP) -- New Secretary of State John Kerry faces a deadline in a few weeks on a normally routine decision that could have a big impact, this time, on U.S. Cuba relations.
The decision is whether or not to recommend taking Cuba off a list of state sponsors of terrorism, which also includes Iran, Syria and Sudan.
The decision could usher in a long-stalled detente or slam the door. Either way, current travel restrictions to the island nation would remain.
Cuban officials have told visiting American delegations privately that they view Kerry's recommendation as a litmus test for improved ties.
Inclusion on the list means a ban on arms sales to Cuba but also on items that can have dual uses, including some hospital equipment. It also requires that the United States oppose any international loans to Cuba.
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) -- President Barack Obama has reassured Israelis who wondered if he recognized the Jewish nation's biblical roots.
When Obama delivered his 2009 speech to the Muslim world, many Jews felt he reinforced their enemies' charge that modern Israel was only founded out of Western guilt over the Nazi Holocaust.
So on arriving in Israel, Obama said, "More than 3,000 years ago, the Jewish people lived here, tended the land here, prayed to God here." He added that "the Jewish State of Israel was a rebirth" following "centuries of exile and persecution."
In New York, the Orthodox Union's public policy director, Rabbi Nathan Diament, said it also was "wonderful and encouraging" that the president referred to modern Israelis as descendants of the Bible's Abraham and Sarah.
Kerry to see Abbas, Netanyahu after Obama trip
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- U.S Secretary of State John Kerry is meeting Israeli and Palestinian leaders to further explore options for relaunching stalled peace talks after President Barack Obama's Mideast trip this week.
Following up on Obama's visits to Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the State Department said Kerry would see Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the Jordanian capital of Amman on Saturday. After that meeting, Kerry will return to Jerusalem to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
During his first trip to Israel and the Palestinian Authority as president, Obama called on Thursday for resumption in negotiations. He offered no new plan on how to get there but said Kerry would be spending considerable time on the matter.
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- There's no deal agreement yet on a plan to raise the money Cyprus needs to qualify for a bailout package.
Cypriot officials and international representatives ended torturous negotiation in the early hours of Sunday with no deal.
Talks are set to resume later Sunday in Brussels, but time is running out: Failure would mean Cyprus could declare bankruptcy in just two days and possibly have to exit the eurozone.
The president of Cyprus and his finance minister will travel to the Belgian capital early Sunday. A viable plan must be cemented before finance ministers from the 17 countries that use the euro currency meet in Brussels in the evening.
Cyprus has been told it must raise 5.8 billion euros ($7.5 billion) in order to secure 10 billion euros in rescue loans from other European countries that use the single currency, as well as from the IMF.
The European Central Bank has said it will stop providing emergency funding to Cyprus' banks after Monday if no new plan is in place.
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel's prime minister says concerns over the security of Syria's chemical weapons stockpile were the motivating factor in restoring relations with Turkey.
Benjamin Netanyahu wrote on his Facebook page Saturday that Israel and Turkey, which border Syria, need to communicate with each other over the issue.
The Syrian "crisis" and the possibility that al-Qaida-linked groups could acquire chemical weapons was "the main consideration," in restoring ties, he wrote.
Netanyahu phoned his Turkish counterpart Friday and apologized for a botched raid on a Gaza bound flotilla in 2010 that left eight Turks and one Turkish-American dead. Turkey demanded an apology as a condition for restoring ties.
Netanyahu had until now refused to apologize, saying Israeli soldiers acted in self-defense after being attacked by activists. Relations were tense before the flotilla incident.
BEIRUT (AP) -- Activists say Syrian rebels have seized control of a major air defense base in a strategic region of southern Syria.
A statement posted Saturday on militant websites by the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade, a rebel group active in southern Syria, says several rebel groups stormed and liberated the 38th division air defense base after besieging it for 16 days.
The rebels also claim they killed the base commander.
The base lies in the southern Daraa province in a village near the strategic highway linking Damascus to neighboring Jordan.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies of a network of activists on the ground, has confirmed the report. It says the fighters included members of the al-Qaida affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra group.
Push for Assad's ouster in Syria weakened
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Foes of Syrian President Bashar Assad are distracted by fragmentation within their ranks, foreign meddling and new finger-pointing over chemical weapons. And all that comes as the regime more firmly entrenches itself, giving no sign of stepping down any time soon.
With the two-year civil war slogging on in Syria, the United States appears closer than ever to sending military support to rebels in hopes of breaking the bloody impasse that has left more than 70,000 dead and forced more than 1 million refugees to flee their homes.
Beyond at least the threat of military intervention, there is growing consensus among the U.S. and its allies that little can be done to put new pressure on Assad to go.
Members of Syrian leader's sect meet in Cairo
BEIRUT (AP) -- Members of Syrian President Bashar Assad's own minority sect who are opposed to his regime are meeting in Cairo amid concerns about their fate in a post-Assad Syria.
Organizers say the two-day meeting, which began Saturday, is the first of its kind for opposition members of the Syrian community. Most have either rallied behind Assad or stayed quietly on the sidelines of the 2-year-old civil war.
Rebels fighting to topple Assad are mostly from the country's majority Sunni sect. Assad is Alawite, a Shiite offshoot of Islam.
The meeting of about 50 Alawites reflects fear within the tiny sect that they would fall victim to revenge killings and assassinations should Assad's regime fall.
They plan on seeking assurances from opposition chief Mouaz al-Khatib who may attend the meeting on Sunday.
Radical Islamists attack Malian city of Gao
DAKAR, Senegal (AP) -- The mayor of Gao confirms that radical Islamists attacked his city in northern Mali, but were pushed back by Malian soldiers.
Mayor Sadou Diallo says the Islamists infiltrated from two different directions late Saturday, including from villages across the Niger River, but Malian troops later regained control of the city.
For nearly 10 months, Gao was under the control of the Movement for the Oneness of Jihad in West Africa, or MUJAO, which imposed a brutal form of Shariah law, amputating the limbs of accused thieves in a square that became known as "Shariah Square." In January, the city was liberated by French troops, but since then it has repeatedly been attacked by suspected MUJAO fighters who have carried out suicide attacks.
BEIJING (AP) -- Hailstorms that hit southern China this week have killed 12 people, injured hundreds more and caused tens of millions of dollars in damage.
The official Xinhua News Agency says nine people were killed in the city of Dongguan in southern Guangdong province after a Wednesday hailstorm. It says 272 others were injured from the storm, which caused economic losses of 357 million yuan ($57.5 million).
Three other people died from hailstorms that began Tuesday in neighboring Hunan province, where 1,900 houses have collapsed, according to Xinhua's report Saturday.
Southern China has seen thunderstorms, hurricanes and hailstorms in the past few days. China's Meteorological Administration says the severe weather is expected to continue through the weekend.
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) -- The city of Kiev has declared a state of emergency after the Ukrainian capital was paralyzed by an unprecedented snowstorm that has stalled car, railway and air traffic.
The city was hit by about 50 centimeters (20 inches) of snow in the past day, more than it usually receives per month during this season.
Tractors, armored vehicles and other heavy equipment were dispatched Saturday to clear roads blocked by kilometers-long traffic jams. Desperate to get home, some Kiev drivers simply abandoned their stalled cars on the roads and set out on foot.
Kiev's main airport, Boryspil, was working with delays, the smaller Zhulyany airport was closed and Ukraine's International Airlines grounded all its planes until Sunday morning.

I've always wanted to make a Crème brûlée but I don't have a blow torch to burn the top with. Is there anything else I can use to get that nice crunchy caramel on top?
Follow these steps and watch very carefully...
The old fashioned way was with an iron (not like today's steam iron -- a heavy chunk of metal at the end of a handle) you'd heat it up, and press it against the sugar to cook it. Of course this typically means having a chunk of metal that's just slightly smaller than your container.
Some of the high-pressure torch style lighters might also work or you can try putting it under the broiler, but I'd really suggest picking up a propane torch if you're interested in creme brulee.
Don't go to a kitchen store, as they're vastly overpriced -- get one from a hardware store. They're maybe $15 or so, and they have a number of uses -- I've soldered pipes, used it to light the grill and even used it for gardening (you know that weed block fabric? You can burn holes in it where you want to plant, which saves a lot of time over cutting).
Here's what we did exactly once but it worked for us:
Bonus for our situation: this was for an event the next day at work. By pre-making the delicate little topping disks, they could be kept separate from the custard until the last moment. This meant the sugar didn't get soggy or broken for anyone. It also meant that only this tiny package could be handled with care while the rest of the stuff could be handled normally.
may have already been said but you can use the oven top shelf if it's turned onto the grill. When i worked in a restaurant we used to use the combi oven, which had the pull down grill to heat the top of creme brulee :) Hope you get it done :) xxxxx
In theory you could place the Crème brûlée under a very hot grill for a few seconds, but you are in danger of killing the custard too. Personally, if this is something you anticipate doing frequently, buy a torch. You don't need to spend load on a specialised kitchen torch, just go to your local DIY and get a standard propane plumbers torch.
Easy:- mix the sugar with a bit of Vodka and spread over the brule. Light with a match or lighter and see the sugar caramelize as if by magic.
You can use an electric stove that has a broil function. Put the rack on the top slot, turn on the broiler, wait until it is red hot and then add the cups of crème brûlée right under the element until you have a golden crust.
The crust will be thicker than if you used a torch. Nonetheless, i find the result perfectly fine.
Just put sugar in a pan, and let it melt; then, pour it over the creme and refrigerate it so it hardens.

Sebelius, Holder, And Shinseki Will Stay Put When Obama's Second Term Begins
Attorney General Eric Holder, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki plan to remain with President Obama's administration as his second term begins, according to a White House official. The news that the three will remain in their current posts comes amid the departure of other Cabinet officials, including Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, who submitted her resignation today.
As Mark reported this morning, President Obama is expected to nominate White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew to succeed Timothy Geithner as Secretary of the Treasury. And the departing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta will be replaced by former Sen. Chuck Hagel, if the Senate approves the president's nomination.
While Sen. Hagel, a Republican, is expected to encounter some resistance to his appointment in the Senate, the positions of Attorney General and Health and Human Services Secretary would almost certainly be more contentious.
Sebelius had been "expected to stay on at least through next year, when the biggest components of the Affordable Care Act are set to take effect," as The Hill reports.
And Holder, who has come under fire for his handling of the fallout from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives' "Fast and Furious" gun operation, has previously been reported as likely to stay for "about a year" into Obama's second term.
The president has already nominated Sen. John Kerry to take the position of Secretary of State after Hillary Clinton leaves the post.
The confirmation of the intentions of Holder, Sebelius, and Shinseki to remain in their jobs leaves open the possibility that other changes might be on the way.

The University of Saint Mary has named Michael Evans, a 2006 Saint Mary graduate and a veteran of the university's baseball program, as the new head coach of the Spires softball team.
During his time as a Saint Mary student, Evans played on the Spires baseball team for four years – starting for three seasons, and serving as team captain for two. Evans was an All-Conference selection as a second baseman in 2005 and 2006. For the past five years, he's been an assistant baseball coach for Saint Mary, working with hitters, infield defense, and serving as the head recruiter.
Evans has also served as head coach and general manager of the KC MSBL Royals in the Ban Johnson Baseball League – a collegiate wood bat league that produced some of the top college players in the Kansas City area. He led his team to the league title in 2009.
"Michael Evans is a true Saint Marian," USM Athletic Director Rob Miller said. "He'll bring a lot of energy to his role as head coach. One of his passions is recruiting, and we have faith that he'll lay the foundation of an excellent program."
Evans said he's eager to get to work building a winning team.
"I know there are a lot of quality players returning that were both successful on the field and in their studies, and I think that's important," Evans said. "I'm looking to start building communication with returning players and bringing in new players and getting them to buy into who we are and what we do – discipline, character, and hard work."
Evans succeeds Lori Lorenzen, who coached the softball team for six seasons.

Beautiful and honest and I promise you, the disconnect will completely vanish the second you smell that baby.
There is something so primal about the smell of your own newborn. That sealed the deal for me. That first night was pure heaven with my little burrito wrapped up next to me sniffing her newborn head. Not that there weren't issues. Trust me. There were. It's a huge, massive adjustment. And clearly I wasn't the birth'en kind. But I would live that moment over and over again if I could.

I have a slogan on my home page that will not appear in text anywhere else. The problem is part of the slogan needs to be an image, for design requirements. Normally I would want to put this slogan in an
H1 header and the title.
Question is whether or not this image will hurt my content indexing by search engines, and if an

TURNERSVILLE (January 12, 2013)—An early Saturday morning fire heavily damaged a rural Coryell County home and left a man and woman without a place to live.
Gatesville fire Chief Billy Vaden said Gatesville and Jonesboro fire department were sent just after 2 a.m. to a residence on Coryell County Road 216 where the first units on the scene found a house ablaze.
Vaden said the woman who lives in the house with her husband had to go to a neighbor's home to call for help because her cell phone didn't work.
The fire started in the kitchen and quickly spread to other rooms of the house, Vaden said, casing fire damage in some rooms and creating smoke and water damage throughout.
No one was injured.
Vaden also said firefighters were called back to the residence at about 8 a.m. after some hot spots rekindled.

Mercury Rev and Bella Union are excited to announce a DJ set at The Bedford on August 20th, 2015. Head on down for a good old time and some great music. All details can be found in the flyer below!
The Light In You will be released on September 18 on Bella Union and is available to preorder now via iTunes. The band recently shared the album's "The Queen Of Swans," which is streaming HERE. Vanity Fair called the track " voluminous" and Stereogum stated the single, "has the elaborate, layered, finely orchestrated sound that's come to characterize the band."
Mercury Rev's 8th studio album is filled with wondrous and voluminous kaleidoscopic detail, but also intimate moments of calm, and altogether stands up to the very best that this notable band of maverick explorers has ever created. Its ecstatic highs and shivery comedowns also reflect a particularly turbulent era in the lives of Grasshopper and fellow co-founder Jonathan Donahue, of calamities both personal and physical, but also rebirths and real births (Grasshopper became a father for the first time in 2014). There's a reason for the seven-year gap since the band's last album, Snowflake Midnight.
"It was one of those otherworldly life sequences, when everything you think is solid turns molten," explains Jonathan. "But also, when something is worth saying, it can take a long time to say it, rather than just blurt it out."
As well as The Light In You being the first Mercury Rev album with Bella Union, it's also the first with only Jonathan and Grasshopper at the controls, as scheduling conflicts and travel between the Catskills and Dave Fridmann's Tarbox studio became too great to overcome. Surrounded by longtime friends such as engineer Scott Petito and bassist Anthony Molina, Jonathan and Grasshopper quickly found their stride recording themselves in their own basement studio as well as venturing out into the daylight to record tracks at some of their old haunts like NRS and White Light Studios. The two even found time to arrange backing vocal harmonies and record with Ken Stringfellow at his studio Son du Blé studios in Paris.
Yet from its title down, the album clearly reflects the core relationship between Jonathan and Grasshopper, best friends since they were teenagers, who accompanied each other through the musical changes, band fractures and exulted breakthroughs that has marked Mercury Rev's career since they emerged with the extraordinary Yerself Is Steam in 1991.
"You can go as deep as you want with the title, on a metaphorical, spiritual level, or just poetic license," Jonathan suggests. "It's the beacon that shines and allows us to see ourselves – and then there's the music between Grasshopper and I, which is how we reflect each other. The arc of the album, lyrically, is someone who's gone through an incredible period of turbulence, sadness and uncertainty, and as the album progresses, a light appears on the water."

I am trying to understand kind answer (somewhat generalized) by David Speyer on my previous question What is growth of ass. algebra with 3 generators and relation a1a2a3 + a2a3a1 +a3a1a2 - a1a3a2 - a2a1a3 -a3a2a1 ?
Consider free associative algebra $A$, denote $a_1, ... a_N$ to be its generators; take any homogeneous non-commutative polynomial $P(a_i)$. Consider $A/P$.
Let us choose any monomial $a_1^{k_1}a_2^{k_2}...a_N^{k_N}$ in $P$.
Question what are the conditions on $P$ such that monomials non-containing subsequence $a_1^{k_1}a_2^{k_2}...a_N^{k_N}$ will form a basis in $A/P$ ?
Remark: obviously such monomials will always span $A/P$, because we can rewrite relation $P=0$ in the form $a_1^{k_1}a_2^{k_2}...a_N^{k_N} = P - a_1^{k_1}a_2^{k_2}...a_N^{k_N}$ so using this relation we can always avoid $a_1^{k_1}a_2^{k_2}...a_N^{k_N}$.
*Example Positive * Consider relation $ab=ba$, so factor is commutative, then obviously monomials not-containing $ab$ i.e. monomials $b^pa^q$ form basis.
(Moreover it is true for $ab = q ba$, even for $q=0$).
*Example Negative * Consider $a^2 = ab$, the monomials not-containing $a^2$ are linear dependent: for example $aba= a b^2$.
*Example non-clear * It not clear for whether in the case of my original question i.e. $P = a_1a_2a_3 + a_2a_3a_1 +a_3a_1a_2 - a_1a_3a_2 - a_2a_1a_3 -a_3a_2a_1$, the construction works or not ?
I do not fully understand David's argument: " Let $u_1$ be the lexicographically first $u_i$ and, if that monomial occurs as $u_i$ more than once, choose the one so that $v_i$ is lexicographically earliest. Then the monomial $u_1(a_1a_2a_3)v_1$ only occurs in the term $u1Δv1$ and no others, so it can't cancel out. So the right hand of the sum contains the nonstandard term $u1(a_1a_2a_3)v_1$, a contradiction."
Because: Consider $u_1 = a_3$ - "lexigraphically biggest", take $v_2=a_3$ then $u_1(a_1a_2a_3 )= a_3a_1a_2a_3 = (a_3a_1a_2)a_3 = (a_3a_1a_2)v_2$ . So the $u_1(a_1a_2a_3 )$ is contained in $Δv1$ . This contradicts the claim "monomial only occurs in the term and no others". Am I wrong ?

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Secretary of State Kris Kobach is asking a federal court to settle political redistricting issues for the Kansas Legislature.
Kobach made his request Wednesday in response to a federal lawsuit filed earlier this month over redistricting. Kobach, the state's chief elections officer, is the defendant in the case, which was filed by a Republican precinct committee member in Olathe.
He's asking that a panel of three judges impose plans to adjust the state's political boundaries.
Kobach's filing came shortly before a news conference he scheduled to discuss redistricting and only hours before the Senate was debate a plan for redrawing the chamber's 40 districts.
An impasse among majority Republicans in the Senate has prevented any redistricting proposals from passing and threatens to delay the state's Aug. 7 primary election.
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Attorneys on both sides of a federal lawsuit filed in Kansas over political redistricting have ties to House Speaker Mike O'Neal.
Secretary of State Kris Kobach filed his response Wednesday to the lawsuit from Robyn Renee Essex, a Republican precinct committee member from Olathe (oh-LAY'-thuh). Kobach is the only defendant, and his attorney is Ryan Kriegshauser, a deputy assistant secretary of state.
Kriegshauser's wife, Christie, is O'Neal's chief of staff.
One of Essex's attorneys is Brent Haden, of Columbia, Mo. Haden is a former chief of staff for O'Neal.
Both Kobach and O'Neal are conservative Republicans, and GOP conservatives are locked in a dispute with moderate Republicans over redrawing the Senate's 40 districts.
But Kobach said during a news conference that he doesn't know Essex and isn't consulting with O'Neal.
Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley:
"For nearly a year, Governor Sam Brownback and House Speaker Mike O'Neal have fervently and adamantly gerrymandered Senate districts in an attempt to ouster members of their own party in the upcoming election.
"By manipulating the system to their favor, Sam Brownback and Mike O'Neal once again have stifled progress being made by the Senate chamber.
"Kansas is now the only state in the nation to have not completed redistricting. As a result, the filing deadline has been postponed, and a very real threat of court-intervention hangs over our heads.
"Every day the legislature continues to meet, it costs the taxpayers of Kansas $63,000. It is unacceptable to force the people of Kansas to pay the price for this political power grab. It's time for Sam Brownback and Mike O'Neal to let the Senate complete its work."

We can issue CTRL+Z to suspend any jobs in Unix and then later on bring them back to life using
fg or
bg. I want to understand what happens to those jobs that are suspended like this ? Are they killed/terminated ? In other words what is the difference between killing and suspending a process ?
We can issue CTRL+Z to suspend any jobs in Unix and then later on bring them back to life using
The jobs are not killed, they are suspended. They remain exactly as they are at the time of the suspension: same memory mapping, same open file, same threads, … It's just that the process sits there doing nothing until it's resumed. It's like when you pause a movie. A suspended process behaves exactly like a process that the scheduler stubbornly refuses to give CPU time to, except that the process state is recorded as suspended rather than running.
From a user's perspective, it means that the job is paused. It will no longer use any CPU. It will, however, keep using the same amount of RAM. That is why you can bring it back to the foreground with
If you kill a job and then restart it, it will start over from scratch.
When suspend, the kernel doesn't include the process to the processor queue. When killed, the stack (memory) of the process is released.

How to correctly move a server inside a rack up and down
Just wondering what people's thoughts are on moving a MSA60 over one rack. I have plenty of free cable slack, and was wondering if two of us could carefully move it while it's live. It has 12 750GB SATA drives in it. I'm just not sure if those drives are engineered to stay put, and if they encounter any vibration how they handle it.
EDIT: I'm moving this -over- as in a horizontal move, not up/down a space. After reading all the comments, I'll be powering this guy down, and minimize the risk of data loss.

I have to say, I'm not a fan on the adoption of the hated Windows style "R2" naming convention. It gets especially bad when you start talking about service packs which results in nightmares like "SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2". Yuck!
It's really quite sad that this poor naming convention means that you're going to miss out on the opportunity of having a "2010" titled product

A little wisdom to go with our new Cocky Chicken Mask.
There may not be any food that's better than bacon, but did you know that it might also hold the key to longevity?
Pearl Cantrell of Richland Springs, Texas recently celebrated her 105th birthday. That's an indisputably awesome accomplishment, but it gets better. When asked how she's managed to live so long Pearl replied:
"I love bacon, I eat it everyday", says Pearl, "I don't feel as old as I am, that's all I can say", she explains.
Still feisty and full of life, Pearl has been through a lot, and has plenty of reasons to complain or even give up. After mothering seven children, outliving three of them, losing a husband, and enduring decades of physical labor, she still has a smile on her face.
"I would go to the field and work till dinner, then come home to fix dinner, then I would go back out to the field and work again until supper", Pearl tells us.
But Pearl's daughter, Anno, says complaining is the last thing you'll ever hear her mother do. "She's taught us to work hard and to get up every morning and think about living. She's never thought about dying", says Anno.
Pearl Cantrell, all of us here at Archie McPhee would like to wish you a belated Happy Birthday! We think you're awesome and we're glad you love bacon as much as we do.[Article via Neatorama]

Let $R$ be a ring and $X,Y$ two $R$-schemes, which you may assume to be noetherian or anything reasonable you like. Is it possible to "construct" $\text{Qcoh}(X \times_R Y)$ out of $\text{Qcoh}(X)$ and $\text{Qcoh}(Y)$ in the $2$-category of all cocomplete $R$-linear tensor categories?
Perhaps it is the $2$-coproduct? So the question is if for every cocomplete $R$-linear tensor category $C$ the canonical functor
$\text{Hom}(\text{Qcoh}(X \times_R Y),C) \to \text{Hom}(\text{Qcoh}(X),C) \times \text{Hom}(\text{Qcoh}(Y),C)$
$F \mapsto (F \circ (p_X)^*, F \circ (p_Y)^*)$
is an equivalence of categories. This is satisfied if $X,Y$ are affine, but I think also when $X,Y$ are projective over $R$ (EDIT: Yes, now I've proved this in detail, should I write it up?). Actually for my purposes it would be enough to prove that the functor is conservative, i.e. reflects isomorphisms.
Here was a similar question on MO, but it adresses (as with the answer by David Ben-Zvi) only the derived setting, but I want to work with the usual category of quasi-coherent modules.

Top 10 Summertime Energy Savers

Water Your Lawn Wisely
The summer heat usually requires you to water your plants and lawn more often. To cut down on water evaporation, put down a layer of organic mulch around your plants. To further reduce evaporation, water your lawn and plants in the morning hours, when the temperature is cooler and the winds are lighter. Be sure to adjust your sprinklers so they water only your lawn and gardens--not the neighbor's lawn, sidewalk, and driveway! Finally, while your sprinkler is running, check the hose for any leaks or drips.

Watchful eyes The Waterbury Board of Aldermen soon will consider a proposal to install a surveillance-camera system downtown. The system would cost about $190,000, to be financed via grant money, and "would cover the district between the City Green and the Mixmaster, and between Meadow and North Elm streets," The Sunday Republican reported Jan. 27. Downtown landlords believe the system would help them attract tenants, and Deputy Police Chief Fred Spagnolo said downtown merchants have requested the cameras to reassure their customers and employees of the safeness of downtown. Mayor Neil M. O'Leary added that the system may make suburban residents feel better about going downtown, even though Waterbury already is one of the safest big cities in Connecticut. Mayor O'Leary has consistently stressed downtown revival as key to an economic renaissance, and there seems to be reason to believe the camera system would attract more people and businesses. As such, the proposal is worthy of support.

Last Call (Mass Market Paperbound)
A kid from Miami's meanest streets, Theo Knight lost his mother to a violent crime. He was on Death Row for a murder he didn't commit when lawyer Jack Swyteck proved him innocent. Now they are best friends. Theo is a semi-respectable and successful bar owner, but yesterday, with its risks and its terrors, has come knocking on his back door. An escaped convict from the old neighborhood wants sanctuary, and, in return, he is offering information: the identity of the killer who left Theo's mom lying dead in the street on a hot South Florida evening.
Theo wants justice, but the answers are not simple. He and Jack must now piece together a twenty-year-old conspiracy of greed and corruption that's pointing them toward the city's most elite and powerful. And digging through a past that Theo has struggled his whole life to forget could awaken some very desperate, very deadly sleeping dogs.

For more information about the Educating for Sustainability series, or other NYU Sustainability programming, please call 212.998.1073 or go to www.nyu.edu/sustainability/.
Increasing global population, incomes, dietary consumption and biofuel use are placing unprecedented demands on the world's agriculture and natural resources. Today, approximately a billion people are chronically malnourished, while our agricultural systems are concurrently degrading land, water, biodiversity and climate on a global scale. To meet the world's future food security and sustainability needs, food production must grow substantially while, at the same time, agriculture's environmental footprint must shrink dramatically. In this presentation, Professor Foley will discuss new solutions to this dilemma, showing that tremendous progress could be made to this vexing problem.
Jonathan Foley is the director of the Institute on the Environment (IonE) at the University of the Minnesota, where he is a professor and McKnight Presidential Chair in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior. He also leads the IonE's Global Landscapes Initiative.
Foley's work focuses on the sustainability of our civilization and the global environment. He and his students have contributed to our understanding of global food security, global patterns of land use, the behavior of the planet's climate, ecosystems and water cycle, and the sustainability of the biosphere. This work has led him to be a regular advisor to large corporations, NGOs and governments around the world.
The Educating for Sustainability series, which brings environmental scholars and leaders to NYU for public lectures, is cosponsored by the NYU Sustainability initative and the Environmental Studies program.

6 Items You Touch Everyday That Are Filthier Than a Toilet
One person in the office gets the flu, and soon everybody in their row has it. And as paranoid as people think they are about germs these days, with their antibacterial lotions and careful hand-washing after even briefly touching their genitals, the truth is most of us still have no freaking idea where we're picking up these germs.
But if you carried around a microscope everywhere you went, there are a whole lot of everyday things you'd be a lot more hesitant to rub all over your hands.
#6. Soap
The most unpleasant place most of us will visit this week is a nice, fragrant, poorly-maintained public restroom. Now, it's no surprise to find the floor and piss-splattered toilet seat are crawling with germs (how many of you still haven't figured out how to flush the toilet with your foot?) but that's OK, because you still remember to pump that liquid soap onto your hands and wash the hell out of them before you leave.
Or it would be OK, if some of the soap wasn't also full of germs. A study conducted by researcher Jonathon Sexton revealed about a quarter of the of the soap dispensers in public restrooms were pumping out viable bacteria with each glob. Yeah, the stuff that makes you sick was in the soap.
The problem is most of these places were using refillable soap dispensers, so contamination was happening when the filth-ridden employees were doing the refilling (the fancier kind of dispensers with sealed, disposable bags inside were clean).
Designed to kill.
Of course, soap is still soap and it's our number one defense against more harmful forms of bacteria, like whatever you got on your hand after it ripped through that ghetto brand toilet paper public restrooms use that seems to be cobbled together from whispers and recycled Chinese newsprint. So it's kind of a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.So Keep That in Mind When...
...some guy gives you a dirty look if you fail to wash your hands after just peeing. Look, if you showered in the morning it's unlikely your dick is very contaminated. If anything you've probably made your clean dick a little dirtier by touching it with your filthy hands.
And both will wind up cleaner than that guy's hands who, after issuing his disapproval, touches one of the dirtiest surfaces ever invented by man: the handle on a bathroom faucet. Then he compounds the infestation when he touches the handle on the restroom door on his way out. Yet, if you so much as use your dick to open the door just one time, you're the bad guy.
#5. Money
What does your wallet have in common with the local crack den? It's packing nothing but filth and narcotics, that's what.
A 2008 study showed cocaine traces on bills from all over the world, with American money taking the gold. U-S-A! U-S-A!
That's right, some bills tested contained up to 1300 micrograms of pure Bolivian marching powder. If any of you pulled out your wallet and started trying to hitch the reindeer off of a 20, you can put it back. A microgram is about a millionth of a teabag full of cocaine, so unless you've got a million bills to lick you're not going to be getting very high and if you do have a million handy, we assume your army of strippers have already writhed across them all and sanitized them with boob sweat.
The point, however, is that it gives you an idea of the sponge-like ability for money to absorb whatever it comes in contact with, namely drugs and the germs from the hands of everyone who handled it (and whatever else they were handling) before you. So it's not just blow you're carting around; it's everything from chicken guts to common household ball sweat (remember that every dollar bill you touch has potentially been in a Chippendale's dancer's G-string at some point).
Also, that wallet you use to house your cash? The fact that it's stuffed into your pocket close to your warm body helps incubate any germs that were already festering on your two bucks, ensuring it stays as dirty as possible.So Keep That in Mind When...
...people flip out at Burger King when they see a guy sneeze near the grill, but don't blink when the cashier who has handled thousands of diseased bills that morning is the one who stacks the food on your tray.
#4. Laundry
You probably didn't know there is roughly 0.1 gram of fecal matter in an average pair of underwear. On any given day you and everyone you cross paths with are basically shit Sherpas, carting that stuff to and fro. Granted 0.1 grams doesn't sound like much but that means you can expect up to 100 million E. coli bacteria floating around in a standard wash load containing undies which is, wait for it, a shitload.
Still sexy?
Leading germaphobe, Charles Gerba, conducted a study on washing machines in Tucson and Tampa Bay and found coliform bacteria in 60 percent and E. coli in 10 percent of the machines tested, confirming that either the machines aren't all that great at killing your poop germs, or that people in Tucson and Tampa shit in their washers.
You can wash your first load with bleach and hot water and you'll reduce the amount of bacteria that will survive the wash. Or if you don't like the idea of using bleach you can just wash your drawers separately in their own little poop stew. Otherwise, that nice, fresh-smelling load of laundry has some invisible residue waiting for you.So Keep That in Mind When...
...you see Snuggles the Fabric Softener bear rubbing his little face all over the newly "clean" laundry. Enjoy our shit, bear.

I use a Manfrotto mount to attach my fullframe 6D on the NN3.
I found my NPP for this setup:
Lower rail is at 6,9 cm (because of the manfrotto mount)
Upper rail is set at 9,65 - and I can't get any further backwards.
Actually I think I could use a few millimeters more on the upper rail (the tho poles I set up still moved a bit when turning the NN3).
Can it be done?
I cannot find the rail settings on NN's homepage. If some of you NN-guys is listening. Would you please add it?
Would some of you guys post your rail settings with a Canon 6D and a Canon 8-15mm lens here?
Best regards

The Lingerie Football League of Australia. Or, as I like to call it, "the car crash produced when post-feminism crashes into sporting fanatics", aka "The Glorification of the Female Body AND the Divine Act of Competitive Sport – all conveniently wrapped up with an Objectification Ribbon".
What IS the Lingerie Football League (or the LFL)? It is women playing sport in their underwear. But, of course, it's 'lingerie' – to give it that classy, exotic edge. It is, according to Wikipedia, a "women's 7-on-7 tackle American Football League, created in 2009". It was created in America. Of course. Duh.
It looks a little like this:
Some idiot in America clearly had the 'brain wave' that in order to entice men to watch women's sport, they needed to put the women in underwear. Because this is obviously the only way to get MEN to watch WOMEN doing something other than giving oral sex (because, let's face it, dudes will watch THAT all day*).
I have several problems with the LFL, which I shall now lay out for you in full, glorious detail:
– How does this sport actually benefit women?
Other women are playing sport (yes, gosh darn, real SPORT) and they do not do it in their underwear, last time I checked. Sure, various people have TRIED to put them in their underwear (see this great article on Olympic uniforms for Australian sportswomen) but the women have, for the most part, got their way. So how does the LFL ACTUALLY BENEFIT benefit professional sportswomen? By providing an opportunity for women to play sport? But wait, don't they already have that?
Yes. Yes, they do.
– Does this actually harm women?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say yes – yes, it goddamn motherf****** well does. And if you think otherwise you need to reestablish what you actually define as sexism.
How does it harm women? BECAUSE WOMEN ARE PLAYING IN THEIR UNDERWEAR. BECAUSE IT IS OBJECTIFICATION AND SEXISM AND AN AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL EXAMPLE OF POST FEMINISM AND LOOK I JUST LOST MY TEMPER EXCUSE ME.
Does this sport not simply invite rampant sexism and objectification? If you took these sportswomen seriously, you would not be watching them play sport IN THEIR UNDERWEAR. If you took female sport as a whole seriously, you would not be watching this – you would be watching actual sport, on another channel. You would be watching women playing American football IN THEIR CLOTHES. The main attraction of this sporting 'event' IS THE LACK OF CLOTHES. It is not called the 'Women's Football League'. It is called the 'LINGERIE Football League'. Because it is all about the LINGERIE, and the breasts, and the butts. It is about seeing breasts and butts IN ACTION, all from the comfort of your own couch.
And how does this harm women? Sportswomen – real, honest to god sportswomen – are losing air time, and exposure (pardon the pun), and potential sponsors to this steaming pile of horse manure. Sportswomen already have to battle day to day crap about how they are just 'naturally worse at sport than men' – they do not need to also be told that the only way they will make it in the world is if they strip down to their lingerie and THEN try to attempt a high jump, or play a game of basketball, or shoot a bow and arrow.**
I am not calling the women who participate in this sport 'unathletic', or less of an athlete than other women. I just think they should be able to play this sport without having to prance around in their lingerie.
– Are the men doing it?
I shall now apply the Caitlin Moran Rule of Feminism, aka the question 'Are the men doing it?'. This is Moran's rule of thumb with a few things, and it is aptly applied here. 'Are the men dressing up (or down) in teeny tiny underwear, and then running around a football field?'.
No. No, the men aren't. Instead, they are gawping on the sidelines, having the time of their lives (okay, fine, not all men. Some men).
The men are NOT parading around in their itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny bikinis because they are the serious athletes, the ones who get paid the BIG BUCKS to play in MAJOR EVENTS. Meanwhile, these women have to pay for their own goddamn health insurance just to play in this 'league' (yes, I looked that up).
The final part of this entire affair that simultaneously amuses and sickens me? The denial by the founder of the LFL that the sport is nothing more than a "sick, degrading perv".
I mean, for god's sake. You called it the 'Lingerie Football League', not the 'Women's Football League'. To repeat: the LINGERIE FOOTBALL LEAGUE. Why not just call it "Tits and Ass Football League' and be done with it, for god's sake?
The final thing I am going to say on this matter? Why don't we simply put the chairman and founder of the LFL, one Mitchell S. Mortaza, in some leather underwear, and then send him out onto a football field? I promise I'll be on the opposing team, fully clothed and ready to take him down.
Just imagine how Mitchell S. Mortaza would look in some frilly lingerie:
I bet he'd look good in red.
*Clearly, sarcasm.
*And yes, I realise that many sportswomen's outfits are this revealing. Sometimes it is by choice, sometimes it is not. The difference here is that they do NOT bill themselves as participating in the Lingerie Football League. They are serious athletes, and they are there to compete.

[OPEN]Scroll-shift on layout
In IE and FF I was looking at page:
When I scroll to the bottom of the page I can see the Save/Cancel buttons for Form 5.
When I click on the tabs in Form 5 or Form 4 or force a validation error by typing in something other than an e-mail address in the e-mail fields it scrolls the page upwards hiding the save/cancel buttons. Scrolling down reveals them again, of course.
IE used: 7.0.5730.13CO
FF used: 3.6.13
