Bb Learn - Organizing Content
Organizing Content
When inside your Bb Learn course you will early on decide on how to present your course information and content to our students. The options of presentation are influenced by the capabilities Bb Learn so you might not be able to use the tool exactly as you might want. There are basically three ways to present materials to your students. The three ways are:
Content Folders: Are the easiest way to organize your content inside Learn. You can think of them like any other folder you might use on a computer. The name of the folder should give a description of what is inside it such as "Getting Started", "Week One: Who Was King Arthur?", "Additional readings", etc. You can use as many of them as you like and you can create folders inside of folders as needed.
Lesson Plans: Are much like folders but you can add information about the content inside such as objectives, instructions, time period and many other items that might help your students to be more successful in the lesson plan by being explicit about what is expected before they even get to see the content.
Learning Modules: Allow the instructor to have a little more control on the order that students access course materials, you can force sequential viewing if that reinforces your course goals and objectives. You also can have a table of contents that can allow easy navigation between items inside the Learning Module. Currently Learning Modules have some major problems with some aspects of navigation so we do not recommend their use at this time. (If your course goals and objectives require this type of organization please contact us and we can work with you).

They don't make a professional teacher - they just start people on their way. I think it's overstating to call them 'respected teaching credentials,' and they certainly don't 'make' a teacher 'real.' It's just a start. They indicate at least a minimum commitment to the field and are rightly desired by schools that hire newbies. Some teachers with these quals are in fact 'real,' but it's the energy and commitment they put into doing the job - and learning more about it - that make the difference.

Educational institutions are commercializing much more than they ought to and certs are becoming more of pieces of paper as much as licences to operate businesses/schools are. Many schools around the world put their needs in front of the academic ones, and after they hire they have little in a sense of support or pro development for FTs set up. It often is up to other FTs at schools to help and if there aren't any qualified/experienced ones, locals usually aren't up to the task. Quote: Schools expect us to provide references - however we have no idea what we are getting into when we work for a new school. DavesESL cafe acts as a reference for schools - if it is a good school there will be more positive remarks than negative. Absolutely! If the schools want references, we'd like to see them as well. In the end, it's about how many teachers and how many employers can really tell the truth. I stongly believe this issue may be solved through the site memberships of individual users. Perhaps, they all should pay to participate in and so lawfully agree they'd provide their professional posts if it is when advertising for jobs or debating topics. Back to top IxchelJoined: 11 Mar 2003Posts: 156Location: The 7th level of hell Posted: Wed Dec 26, 2012 4:53 pm Post subject: Sorry but it's extremely expensive to teach overseas. Most teachers buy their own tickets. I've known many teachers who went overseas who gave up their apartments and sold their belongings including their cars (my car is 12 years old but in perfect condition because I'm the original owner-I could not get another car with low miles in perfect condition for a price I could afford. In other words I couldn't buy back my own old car) Many give up jobs back home (and in this economy good luck finding anything) basically shut down their lives. So to give up everything only to spend $1000. on a ticket to find out the school is a scam is totally *****d up. And I certainly want to know everything I can before leaving. And since many countries have no protection for non-citizens (if you could afford to stay and fight anyway) the only way to protect yourself is to find out from other teachers what the situation is going in. I understand that some people are just disgruntled employees (although I also know that's based on something too) but I am an intelligent, well-educated and experienced teacher. I can read a post about a school and understand when a person is unhappy and when there have been contract violations or abuses. Since 1985 when I graduated college and was offered my first overseas teaching positing (in Japan which I didn't take because I was getting married) there seems to have been a huge explosion of shady language "schools" around the world. The salaries in Asia and the Middle East (the other area I looked into teaching 27 years ago and also had friends there) are the same as they were in the 80's. So the only thing we have to protect our interests are sites like this where we can find out about bad employers. And there seem at this point to be more bad ones, than professional ones.

I want to build an all-grain setup using 1/2bbl (15gal) kegs (keggle, HLT and MT/LT). I really didn't imagine that sourcing them would be such a difficult task, but after a couple of weeks of calling around and trolling eBay, I've come to the conclusion that you just need to be "in the right place at the right time", as they say. The ones I've found on eBay are nearly $100 with shipping. I've always read that most can be had for around $30-$40. Is $100 the going rate or is there a secret to sourcing kegs that I should know about?
A keg weighs just over 30lbs, so keep in mind it can have a good chunk of value simply as stainless scrap (at $1.5/lb it's worth $50). This will set a floor price.
Making friends at a friendly neighbourhood microbrewery, if you are fortunate enough to have one, and buying one of their no-longer-serviceable kegs is one good way to go.
I believe the $30-40 figure is when a brewery owns their own kegs, and wants to dispose of non-functional (by serving standards) kegs at near scrap cost. Ask your local breweries about their keg supply.
If the kegs are owned by a 3rd party, try them. For instance, it seems like Microstar owns most of the kegs around here, so I called them; they send them to Adventures in Homebrewing (homebrewing.org), who outfits them as mash/brew kettles; I'm getting another one delivered tomorrow, in fact.
You can get new ones for $90 (new sanke keg link), or you can buy pre-converted stuff at brew magic for more money, of course. Recent Craig's List prices in NC for kegs with questionable heritage has been $30 to $50. The story behind these kegs was that the brewery rep was repeatedly called to pick-up the kegs, and the bar was out of space, so they went to whoever showed-up with the deposit money.
Craigslist is probably your best bet for finding used kegs. The ethics on it aren't exactly pristine (kegs are owned by the brewery and only "leased" to the consumer, usually with a deposit to ensure their return) but you can usually find ones where people have already lost their deposit on for the deposit cost or less.
I bought one from the local beer store for the price of the keg deposit ($50). They often have them.

Oh god, how do I start? O.O
Well, the main plot is that an elite team, composed of John Lloyd (Player character), Claire Kelly (Sniper), Hank Harrison (Team leader) And Duane Hanson (Driver, backup and communications specialist) Is deployed in a rain-soaked city infested with nightwalkers, (Modern-day vampires) to kill a particular walker, Known as a prime, which will destroy all the other nightwalkers in this city. Upon destroying Edward, the first prime walker, the team discover there are more, they rescue a biologist called foley from a laboratory in the city, and learn from him that there are three more prime walkers. The next is James, a walker that massacred Lloyds old squad in the past, whom Lloyd kills bye squashing him under a crate. XD Once they return to the command vehicle, they are attacked bye psuedo-nightwalker super soldiers, (Simialur to the umbrella cleaners of resi-evil) whom are actually under the command of the same organisation as the team. Once these had been dispatched, the team made their way to a mine pit area, where they destroy the only female prime walker, Margeret. Before the attack her, she reveals that nightwalkers had contacts in human organisations, 'The CIA, the FBI, the AIB, and every other government acronym' To put it in margeret's words. Next, Lloyd and Harrison, the last proper members of the team, storm a building containing the last prime walker, They intended to kill him before a squad of super soldiers to prevent a Nightwalker-Human war,
As they reach the final door, behind which is charles, they hear an unearthly noise, they enter anyway. Soon after entering, the psuedo-walkers catch up, and hank goes to hold them off while Lloyd destroys charles. Charles was guarded bye multiple, nightwalkers who attack Lloyd from below as he attemps to shoot charles in the head, charles being on top of a raised alter. Halfway through, Charles completes his ritual with the effect of blood falling from the sky like rain, an event known to walkers as 'The cycle of sun and full moon' He continues it for a while longer, Lloyd still trying to kill him, and eventually he goes into a further stage. He lifts off from the platform, in flight, and begins attacking Lloyd with bolts of energy, while the blood rain still thunders down. Lloyd eventually kills him, only for harrison to walk in, congratulate him, and then disintegrate, revealing he was attacked bye a nightwalker when escorting foley. He asks Lloyd to tell his family he died a man, not a monster. Lloyd is then confronted bye Monique, a vampire born bye nature, not bite, and she takes him to Lord hessler, (Another natural vampire) Before they enter his chamber, she asks would Lloyd want to kill him, and Lloyd says yes. She attacks him with throwing knives and flying kicks, until eventually he manages to kill her too.
And thats all for now, because I haven't gotten past that point myself, :wink:.
Other things:
1: Before the extermination team, came an advance team to setup the scene for the extermination team. Their leader became a nightwalker and massacred them, and was then killed bye the extermination team.
2: Foleys daughter, Emily, is constantly following Lloyd like a ghost, first she's several feet away, then the camera swerves around his back, and she's right infront of him, and it comes around infront of him, and she's behind him, It's creepy! She also carries a little music thingy that always makes a fiendish childs music noise, she also has the same necrovision* signiture as a prime walker. Sometimes she runs down dead ends, and I follow, and she isen't there! o.O
*Necrovision is a form of heat vision that can distinguish between nightwalkers and humans:
Yellowy orange-Parent walker
White gold-Prime walker
Purple-Psuedo walker
And theres necrovision for ya! ^^
Scary update.
They made a vampire rain flash game. Vampire Rain: Altered Species Don't touch it unless you have a strong gore fetish. O_o;
Also, a new version of the game is coming out soon called VR: Altered species. Because the original got crap ratings, tho I loved it. Also, the point after monique, you walk into Hessler's office. You put a gun to his head, and when he doesn't fight back. he tells you there is no point, as you've already burned down his progress in 'bringing his race over the ridge'. Lloyd lowers his gun, and walks away. Hessler asks him would he really deny him his destiny.
Later, after Lloyd gets home, and the parts of the AIB trying to to start a war are all arrested, we see a cutseen with hessler stumbling down a passage, seemingly in a daze. Foley's daughter, emily, runs up behind him and grabs his hand, and smiles at him. Hessler smiles back, takes her bye the hand and walks away to begin afresh.
(Now if I didn't put that in the most epic way, your computer is 100 years old)

Things like bugs, bird droppings, and limestone droppings, damage the paint leaving permanent stains if not washed often. Changing your vehicles oil according to the manufacturers recommendations, is perhaps the most important maintenance you can perform to keep your engine working it's best. The Right Way:The biggest mistake people make when washing their car is not using their products specifically formulated for their automotive paint. Dishwashing soap is way too aggressive for automotive finishing, particularly clear coats. The common misconception is that clear coats serve as armor plating. What most people don't realize is that clear coat is simply a pigmented paint.

If you�ve ever thought that Durango seems to have a lot of police officers around, that�s because it does.
The Durango Police Department has more police officers per capita than average cities in Colorado, according to 2010 FBI statistics, the most recent available. But police and city officials defended the high staffing levels, pointing to the surge in population that occurs during the day with commuters and especially during the summer with tourists.
Here�s how it breaks down:
The department has 3.2 officers per 1,000 residents, compared with an average of 1.9 officers per 1,000 residents in other cities across the state, statistics show.
Factoring in daytime population � about 26,700, according to the Census � the Durango Police Department has 2.1 officers per 1,000 residents � more in line with the state average.
Jim Spratlen, chief of the Durango Police Department, said the department adjusts staffing levels based on call volume and the time of day, but it can�t grow and shrink in size based on summer and winter tourism trends or if Fort Lewis College is in session, Spratlen said.
City Manager Ron LeBlanc said the Durango Police Department provides specialized services that most police departments its size don�t. This includes a fraud investigation unit, bike patrol and school-resource officers.
LeBlanc said tourists aren�t known for breaking the law, but they do come here to party and let loose. Durango also is a college town, which means there is a bulge in the population of 18- to 22-year-olds.
Durango also is at the crossroads of two major highways, which means it receives a lot of cross-country travel that raises the potential for accidents and traffic congestion, LeBlanc said.
�There are some very logical and legitimate reasons for the city�s police department size,� LeBlanc said.
These include the 195 special events Durango hosts each year, and many require extra police presence, including the Snowdown parade, which attracts thousands of spectators � more than the population of Bayfield.
�There�s a lot of stuff that happens on Main, and every one of those things requires some planning with public safety and traffic control,� LeBlanc said. �We like to have visibility on Main to keep things orderly and safe.�
Comparing Durango�s police per capita with other cities can be misleading given the city�s small size, Spratlen said. Slight changes in workforce numbers � for example, if two officers quit at the same time � can dramatically affect percentages, he said. That is less so with larger departments.
�Stats sometimes skew what is really out there,� Spratlen said.
Here�s how police departments in Bayfield and Ignacio compare in size:
Bayfield, population 2,100, has 2.4 officers per 1,000 residents, slightly more than the state average of 1.9.
Ignacio, population 781, has the highest officer-to-citizen rate with 7.7 officers per 1,000 residents.
The department has only six officers, but one is a reserve officer and another is assigned full-time to the Southwest Drug Task Force, said Chief Kirk Phillips with the Ignacio Police Department.
The department is not staffed 24 hours a day, he said; rather, officers remain on call if needed.
�It may look like we have a bunch, but one of them is dedicated solely to the task force,� he said.
Calculated with only four officers dedicated to patrol, Ignacio would have 5.1 officers per 1,000 residents.
The La Plata County Sheriff�s Office has 1.9 deputies per 1,000 residents. The average among sheriff offices statewide is 1.6 deputies per 1,000 residents.
The Durango Police Department maintains a minimum of four officers on duty per shift. But it beefs up patrols during high-impact nights.
�Friday and Saturday nights are going to be busy nights because it�s the end of the week and people are going out doing their thing,� said Sgt. Jeremiah Lee, a shift supervisor with the Durango Police Department. �On the other hand, you can�t foresee everything because every day is unique.�
Lee said the department needs more officers, not fewer. If multiple officers are sick, on vacation or on leave, it creates scheduling conflicts.
�There are days that we�re strapped to the hilt,� he said.
An earlier version of this story misspelled Durango police Chief Jim Spratlen�s name.

Hi Guys,
I got the Nodal Ninja 5 a few weeks ago to go along with my 40D and Sigma 10-20 f/3.5. I am currently working on doing virtual tour photography for an office building. This includes several tours of each vacant office space. I have been having trouble, however, stitching the shots together. Theres seems to be problems with PTGUI stitching these spaces, because each photo has very little unique detail in it. I say this because the walls are all one color, the carpet, and then the ceiling tiles.. There is no furniture or pictures on the wall, etc.. It seems like the program has problems creating anchor points. I tried doing a couple tours in my house and it worked great, because there are things in each shot that are unique to that shot.. I hope i am making sense..
Anyways I was just wondering how you guys that do commercial real estate tours tackle this issue.. I have been so far just inputting manual anchor points and fixing the misalligned ones by hand, but this takes a bunch of time and I am not too good at it yet..

The apartment is just like you see in the picture. Small, clean and in a good location. Perhaps lacks some pot (deficiency mostly felt by the Italians), but otherwise nothing to complain about. Maximum availability by the agency.
L'appartamento è proprio come si vede in foto. Piccolo, pulito e in una buona posizione. Manca forse di qualche pentola (carenza più che altro avvertita da noi italiani), ma per il resto nulla da ridire. Disponibilità massima da parte dell'agenzia.
Great apartment - but the room towards the street is REALLY noisy!! You can hear all the traffic from 9th Avenue night and day.
We were a party of 4 attending a conference and needed a three bedroom apartment which is not an easy find for our budget. The day before we were due to fly we were notified by Casanova Condos that our apartment had suffered rain damage and would not be available however they offered another apartment in the same location that actually had a second bathroom for the same price. The condo was great and had everything we needed. We walked everywhere and I was expecting a lot of traffic noise but it was surprisingly quiet. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Housing generally satisfactory but rather bruyant.Les rooms overlook the street and a church. Accommodation very clean and comfortable
Logement globalement satisfaisant mais assez bruyant.Les chambres donnent sur la rue et une église.
Logement tres propre et confortable
The bedrooms have been refurbished but it is also called. Poor sanitation, very much street noise, not recommended.
De slaapkamers zijn gerenoveerd maar dat is het ook wel. Slecht sanitair, zeer veel straatlawaai, geen aanrader.
Apartment very well located, we are very pleased with the delivery
Appartement très bien placé, nous sommes très heureux de la prestation
This apartment is perfect for you to experience New York and be in the middle of it all. Walking distance to most, times squere, empire state, subway nearby. Ok standard. This is not for those who plan far in time .... Very good help from the landlord.
Denne leiligheten er perfekt for dere som skal oppleve New York og være i midten av det hele. Gå avstand til det meste, times squere, empire state, subway i nærheten. Ok standard. Denne er ikke for deg som planlegger mye inne tid....
Veldig god hjelp fra utleier.
Apartment conforms to the description, location, good communication with the agency
Appartement conforme a la description, bien situé, bonne communication avec l agence
This is a really lovely apartment. Everything was as we expected and everything is in good working condition. It is in a really good area around lots of bars and restaurants and very short walking distance to Broadway and Times Square. The only negative is that it can get quite noisy at night with the traffic.

Building 'The Lego Movie,' One Brick at a Time
Lego Goes All in For Its First Hollywood Film (But No Kissing)
"The Lego Movie" explores what may be the essential question of Lego building as it applies to life: Must you dutifully follow the instructions, or can you combine pieces creatively to make anything you dream up? In the animated children's comedy, a repressive overlord (voiced by Will Ferrell) is so maniacal about controlling the residents of Bricksburg that he has a weapon designed to glue all the pieces of their world together, putting an end to freestyle play. Only a band of wisecracking rebels (including Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett and Morgan Freeman) can stop him. The film is computer-animated but made to look as if all the scenery is built out of real Lego pieces. Everything moves in a way that simulates the stop-motion films that thousands of Lego customers have created with their pieces and posted online.
"Any frame, if you stopped the movie, would be something you could recreate if you had a lot of money to buy a lot of Lego bricks," says co-director Christopher Miller.
Maybe just as interesting, if less candy-colored, is the story of how "The Lego Movie" came to be. Lego's pervasiveness is no secret: The company estimates that the world's children spend 5 billion hours a year playing with its toys and that, on average, every person on Earth owns 86 Lego bricks (many parents whose homes are littered with Lego pieces will acknowledge the allocation is wildly uneven.) The film, which opens Feb. 7 as the first Lego-related theatrical release, will show whether Lego can emerge from the shadow of Disney, DIS 0.04 % Universal and Warner Bros. as a toy force in Hollywood.
Lego's collaboration with Hollywood dates back to 1998, when the company, until then known for generic play sets like "Lego Castle," made a deal with Lucasfilm to create sets based on "Star Wars." It was a departure for the Danish company and seen as risky at the time. In a world of relentless marketing aimed at children, many parents had come to see Lego as a haven from commercialism. And Lego had never before "seen the need to tell other people's stories in Lego form," says Jill Wilfert, the company's vice president of licensing and entertainment. "Even though there was a huge 'Star Wars' movie coming out ["Episode 1: The Phantom Menace"], it was not a decision we took lightly."
The sets became a top seller, and Lego went back for more. In 2000, the company released the Lego Studios Steven Spielberg Moviemaker set, which included a digital camera, software and parts to recreate a scene from "The Lost World: Jurassic Park." (Fan-made Lego movies can be seen online on sites such as brickfilms.com.) Soon customers could buy Legos based on Harry Potter, Indiana Jones,"Lord of the Rings" "The Hobbit," and superheroes from both the DC and Marvel comic universes.
Separately, Hollywood was getting excited about old toys. "Transformers," based on Hasbro HAS 0.30 % robots, grossed $710 million world-wide for Paramount and DreamWorks in 2007, and studios clamored over classic toy properties like Battleship and G.I. Joe. Lego seemed a natural—it had already been releasing short movies featuring its characters on home video—and Warner Bros. had an inside track. In addition to controlling many of the Legofied movie franchises, Warner owns TT Games, which was developing Lego videogames (about 85 million games have been sold).
In 2009, Warner producer Dan Lin and writers Dan and Kevin Hageman traveled to Lego headquarters in Billund, Denmark, to pitch a movie set in a Lego-brick universe. Although Lego had financial trouble in 2004 (its near-bankruptcy became a business-school case study), by then it was growing 20% to 25% a year, doing just fine without a movie. (The company last year passed Hasbro in global sales to become the world's No. 2 toy maker.)
"They really looked at me and said 'what's in it for us?'," Mr. Lin recalls.
Among other things, they talked about making Lego feel cooler to older kids.
"Five to 12 is their sweet spot," Mr. Lin says. "After that is what Lego calls 'the dark ages,' when kids grow out of Lego and it's not cool. Part of the appeal is that a movie, if done right, can appeal to all audiences."
Lego is receiving a share of the film's profits and flexing its own marketing muscle to promote it. "They're opening a whole new exhibit at LegoLand Carlsbad [in California] to promote the movie," Mr. Lin says. "It's in all their stores. They have Lego Club Magazine. They're promoting it online, on every single level that a studio normally couldn't hit." In addition, Lego isn't putting just one product on the line with this film: "It's the main brand. It impacts every one of their toy lines. It's a bigger risk."
Warner brought in co-directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who had made "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," to flesh out characters and a plot for the movie, which the studio is calling "family-friendly with an edge."
"Our fear going into it," Mr. Miller says, "was they were going to say, 'We wanna sell this toy and this toy. Kids love race cars, so we need to have a race car in the movie.' They never did anything like that. They said make the movie you want make. We'll make toys based on that."
The company has done that. Already in stores are some of the 17 new building sets that recreate scenes from "The Lego Movie" and 16 new character figurines, known as "minifigs." There will be a simultaneous Feb. 7 release of The Lego Movie Videogame, McDonald's Happy Meal collectible cups, and all the other usual tie-in merchandise licensed to outside partners: books, apparel, school supplies.
The movie strives to avoid playing like a giant commercial. "One of the things we talked about from the beginning is to treat Lego as a medium more than a product," Mr. Lord says. Because the conceit is that anything in the movie could be constructed using real Legos, the filmmakers and their animation studio in Australia collaborated with Lego engineers in Denmark. Animators in some cases used Lego Digital Designer software, which anyone can download, to prototype space ships or pirate ships. "Once we got it pretty close we would send it over to Denmark, where the Lego designers who are really experts at making things structurally sound would adjust it," Mr. Miller says.
"The Lego Movie" gathers characters who don't normally hang around together, coming from separately owned franchises and studios. These include Warner movie characters like Batman, Superman, Gandalf, Dumbledore and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle; but also Han Solo, Shaquille O'Neal (from a 2003 NBA-licensed Lego set), and Milhouse from "The Simpsons" (Lego is releasing "Simpsons" products in February). Such matchups can be a licensing nightmare, but Mr. Lin says Lego helped bring the non-Warner characters into the film.
Lego's experience creating videogames helped the filmmakers gauge what would be acceptable to parents in this first theatrical release. One rule the movie follows, Mr. Lin says: "Lego minifigures can't kiss. Parents don't want to see Lego minifigures kiss."

The correct directory is "Sencha\Sencha Architect 2.2" and not "Sencha, Inc\*"
6 Apr 2013 1:54 PM #22
Thank you for your response.
I know the files connected to Architect 2.2. are in
"Sencha\Sencha Architect 2.2", but . . . I had the same problem with
the earlier patch (before 908) as I have now, but when I then deleted the
"C:\Users\Björn\AppData\Local\Sencha, Inc"
directory with the yet earlier patch files and reinstalled I got that earlier
patch Architect to run. Now this doesn't work any more with 908.
As I am the only one with the problem not getting Architect 2.2 to
run I must have some problem in my end. Still Architect 2.1 runs without
Sorry for not answering earlier,
17 May 2013 7:23 AM #23
Doesn't run
I have a similar problem.
I installed Architect 2.2 and it run well in my pc with windows XP, afterwards I keep from using it for a while and I uninstalled and reinstalled again , but now it doesn't run
The installation path is
C:\Archivos de programa\SenchaArchitect
i also go over this directory
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Local Settings\Application Data
and i don't have nothing related to sencha
only this folder
(by the way my user is Administrador)
what can I do in order to make it run again please?
5 Jul 2013 4:28 PM #24
Same problem on my side
I downloaded Sencha Architect 2.2 to evaluate it; i have never used it. After the installation Sencha Architect won't start, no process in the task manager and also an empty file when running as suggested above.
My PC Specs are:
Windows 7 64bits
Language: Spanish
Desktop: I have 3 monitors and desktop is spread on all 3
I don't know if anything else is of importance.
The software runs with another user on the same computer. My normal user account is "Patricio Téllez", and it won't run there, but with the account "Toncha" it runs without problem. Probably it has to do with the "space" character or the special character on my name.
8 Jul 2013 12:02 PM #25
I tested that exact name and I'm not able to get it working unless I right click and run as administrator... weird. However a user with just a space and not a special character runs just fine.Phil Strong
8 Jul 2013 12:15 PM #26
I'll test running as administrator later and post my result, but I am almost sure I did try that option and got no results.
14 Jul 2013 6:47 PM #27
Sorry for the late answer. I tested it with "right-click administrator" but it does not work. Probably it has to do with the fact that the administrator account is the same that has de problem with the special character.

I love the preppy madras plaid covering this Pottery Barn Kids Harper Madras Diaper Tote.
What else do I love? The simplicity of its design. The bag boasts two exterior bottle pockets, one exterior slat pocket, a small interior zipper pocket and one large interior slat pocket. Now that I'm listing them, it sounds like a lot, but my actual point was to indicate that there aren't so, so, so many pockets that you can't keep track of what you put where and you don't have to go peeking into a million different places just to find baby's pacifier. The interior space consists mainly of one spacious compartment, and I like that. (I do have a few organizational pouches I like to use (purchased separately from the bag), which work well with the basic tote.)
The diaper tote is manufactured to meet Pottery Barn Kids' typical high standards, and I have no doubts that it will hold up to years of use. It's yarn-dyed, so the color won't fade, and it's polyester-lined, so it will clean up nicely time and again. I envision it multitasking as a pool bag this summer and using it to haul library books down the road. Frankly, I'd consider purchasing this bag even if I didn't have a baby, just because of its classic, summery style and practical, fuss-free design.
Dimensions: 7″(W) x 12″(L) x 13″(H)
Price: $60 (+$7 with monogram)
To buy: potterybarnkids.com

sencha app build native
2. To create a packaged build use:
sencha app build package
(copy these files into the www of the cordova/phonegap project)
I have managed to get both methods to work to create an android package for a fairly complex app.
For 2., I followed the cordova (3) documentation by the book & it worked:
Above is a sequence of screen grabs of the project setup.
1. Generated Cordova project
2. Sencha packaged project pasted into the top level www folder of the generated Cordova project
3. The platform-specific output (android apk) after running my .bat file, which is simply:
# Build sencha package ...
# >sencha app build package
# Copy ../build/App/package/* ./www
# Building cordova android package ...
cordova build android
11 Oct 2013 12:05 AM #12
The guide that you posted the link for tells you everything that need to do. I would suggest rereading it. Is there a particular point you are stuck at?
1. Generate your app
sencha -sdk ../builds/touch-2.3.0 generate app MyTestApp mytestapp
2. cd to your apps base directory
3. Create config.xml file in your app root directory. You can find base config.xml here: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap...www/config.xml
4. Enable support for Cordova (run command)
sencha cordova init com.example.MyTestApp MyTestApp
5. edit cordova.local.properties cordova.platforms=android
6. Package your app. (run command)
sencha app build native
6. apk will be generated to:
mytestapp/cordova/platforms/android/bin/Get more personalized support via a support subscription.

Dear fmoseley,
yes, I followed all steps. but I only found mytestapp-debug.apk in mytestapp/cordova/platforms/android/bin/ folder.
Coz it don't need me providing certification parameters,I guess the apk generated is only for debug,not for production which need signed with a cert.

your post is very clear. thanks.
My problem is how to package a production apk. In the picture you posted, only App-debug.apk exists.
According to http://docs.sencha.com/cmd/4.0.0/?pr...tive_packaging, packaging touch app for android need three steps:
- step1 - provisioning , for android, obtain a certificate to sign app
- step2 - create a packing configuration file. (like packager.json which is auto-created by sencha phonegap init command? In this file, I can find some parameters).
- step3 - run packager to create : sencha app package run <configFile.json>
If only Sencha touch application, it's OK. but if I use cordova or phonegap, does these steps need change? there is a note in the guide:
Important Touch 2.3 and later provides support for creating Cordova and PhoneGap apps. If you use Cordova or PhoneGap, refer to Cordova and PhoneGap Apps for information on packaging and emulating.
Maybe I misunderstood the guide coz my poor english.
13 Oct 2013 11:58 PM #15
I have not yet packaged a production version of my own app yet, so what I can say is only theoretical.
Anyone with more accurate experience, please correct where I am wrong.
As I see it, for a Sencha production package, only 2 things need to change:
1. Your packager.json file, change the key-value of 'configurationebug' to 'configuration:Release'
2. Your certificate needs to change to a proper formal certificate (the value for "certificatePath")
For phonegap / cordova I would guess that you also need to change a configuration value in one of the configuration files. I tried to find documentation to build for a release version & there was no obvious configuration file updates that I could find. I found these 2 links from Android:
They can give you an idea of what is required for an Android app. A Sencha phonegap/cordova app is a small sub-section (Android web-view) of an Android app, so some of these items might not be relevant or might already be covered in the Sencha packaging step.
What I would do is create a production version as a test & run it in beta mode while getting a better understanding of what is involved in packaging an Android app before releasing the formal / final Android package.
Good luck!

Ok. I will install it. But i have a stupid question.
I am really confused about why we need to install so many things just to have a simple Hello World app on Android using Sencha??
1> PhoneGap
2>Android SDK
3>Sencha SDK
4> Sencha CMD
5>Apache Ant
6> Ruby
Can someone please explain for each of the points mentioned above about why we need them and how they felicitate in creating a Android App.
Also in the tutorial to create the App in this thread there is no mention of Ruby. Whatever was mentioned i installed then why i need Ruby?

Slider (stand alone): thumb position wrong up when placed in Ext.Container
it took me days to track this bugger down. When placing a slider into an Ext.Container with other components, the slider width is rendered correctly. However, the thumb's dragObj boundary is always calculated as if there were no other components in the container, i.e. way too wide, thus moving the thumb out of visible range at higher values.
It does not matter whether or not one specifies flex layouting or a fixed width for the slider.
It does not matter whether the value is input via config "value" option or .setValue().
Quick hack to fix: """sliderElementReference.getThumb().dragObj.updateBoundary();""" after the component has rendered.
27 Jul 2011 9:09 AM #2
The same bug when I put slider into toolbar.
Thanks for quick hack - it works.

Let $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x_{1},\dots,x_{n}]$ be a cubic homogeneous polynomial, which factors as $f(x)=g(x)h(x)$ over $\mathbb{C}$ with $\mathrm{deg}(g)=1$ and $h$ irreducible over $\mathbb{C}$. Assume that $n>3$. How can one prove that $\exists \lambda \in \mathbb{C}^{\times}$ such that $\lambda g \in \mathbb{Z}[x_{1},\dots,x_{n}]$?
I have seen this several times (for example the comment before Lemma 4.3 in this paper) but cannot really understand why. I feel that this can be proven by some Galois theory.

If you are worried about your email provider intercepting your messages then you should consider running your own SMTP server. However, any message transmitted in plain text can be intercepted by an adversary. So even if you run your own server, this doesn't guarantee secrecy.
...So Perhaps asymmetric cryptography can help, I like Enigmail.
Who can give you the assurance for data mining. Every email service provider especially at free of cost has been a data miner. I may be wrong but owning a website with email options is only way to keep your privacy.
There are service providers who provide services for email.
Fastmail gets excellent reviews. They write about the steps they've taken to protect your security, and their privacy policy looks respectable. It likes their privacy policy promises that, if you pay for the service, they won't data-mine your email -- but you could always contact them to confirm, if you like.

I am looking for a budget telephoto lens. The Canon 55-250 and Tamron 18-200 are both within my budget. I am slightly inclined towards getting the 18-200 because of the range it has. I looked up for reviews for this and couldn't find any good review with pictures from this lens. Can any one respond with quality of pics at 200mm ? Is it a good buy even though it doesn't have IS like the Canon 55-250?
If you don't really need to be able to shoot wide with the same lens, then you'll generally get much better quality from a lens with narrower zoom range. To get a ~10x zoom range like the 18-200 compromises have to be made.
The Canon lens has a smaller zoom range, yet more reach and has stabilisation so is a better option on paper, however I've never used it so don't know how it performs in the real world.
Both lenses are designed for APS-C sensors only, if are thinking of upgrading to full frame you might want to consider a full frame lens, as in the telephoto range there is little weight penalty for the larger image circle.

I had a working Ubuntu 10.04 desktop with ATI drivers with three monitors on a Radion HD 5750.
After a standard
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; reboot
I got a black screen (system booted, but graphics did not display at login screen). I went into recovery mode and reset to basic graphics mode.
Currently, the Catalyst control center says the ATI driver is not installed. But the "hardware drivers" tool (jockey) says "ATI Fire GL" is installed and in use.
So either: 1. The driver is not actually installed even though jockey claims it is, or 2. The driver is installed but catalyst can't find/use it.
I used apt-get to purge and then reinstall the ATI drivers with no improvement.
How do I get this driver working again? Is there a way to completely purge/remove everything graphics related and start over like a clean system, but without an OS reinstall?

Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants of the grass family. Some of its members are giant bamboo, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world: up to three to four feet a day. This accelerated growth rate allows bamboo to be harvested in three to five years, far more often than the 10 to 20 year harvest cycle of most softwoods. Unlike the environmental damage caused by the deforestation of trees, proper harvesting of bamboo leaves the root system intact, creating little or no topsoil disruption. This renewable, sustainable resource produces 35% more oxygen than its equivalent in trees while reducing carbon dioxide gas that is blamed for global warming. With the tensile strength of steel, it's the strongest growing woody plant in the world.

While it may be a vacation for their students, a number of Leavenworth teachers will be using a portion of their summer break for training. The training is being offered as part of a joint program between the Leavenworth public school system and the University of Saint Mary.
Saint Mary and the school district were awarded a three-year Mathematics and Science Partnership grant. Brad Willson, director of curriculum and instruction for the Leavenworth public schools, said the grant will help provide professional development in the area of math for educators who teach kindergarten through eighth grade.
Willson said the program can benefit teachers who, for example, work at the elementary level but may not be math experts.
He said the training will be oriented toward what are referred to as the Common Core standards, which are used in Kansas.
"And they're going to design math lessons, math units," he said.
Willson said most of the training for the public school teachers will be provided by representatives of Saint Mary, but there might one or two people from outside of the university who are utilized for the program.
Willson said he was contacted by someone from Saint Mary asking if district officials wanted to partner for the grant. He learned last month that the grant had been awarded.
He said the grant is being paid for with money from the federal government that was awarded to the state. The three-year grant will provide $148,761 in funding each year.
A two-week academy will be offered this summer. Willson said the grant was written to serve 39 teachers.
A number of teachers already have expressed interest in participating in the program.
During the following school year, there will be instructional coaching as part of the grant.

i know this question is a million times out there, however I can't find a solution to my case. i got a div, which should be fixed on the screen, even if the page is scrolled it should always stay CENTERED in the middle of the screen!
so the div should have 500px width, should be 30px away from the top (margin-top), should be horizontally centered in the middle of the page for all browsersizes and should not move when scrolling the rest of the page.
is that possible?

Now it can be told: Keene man part of 'Ghost Army'
The top-secret unit scurried stealthily through France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany in 1945 after the Normandy invasion — not to fight the enemy, but to trick it. Nearly 70 years later, the unit will finally get its due. On May 21, PBS will broadcast "The Ghost Army," a documentary about those veterans that was written, produced and directed by Rick Beyer of Lexington, Mass.
