Once in a while, my brother drives the car. And when he's alone, he turns the music up. Really, really, really loud. So when I got in a few days ago and turned the car on, I was greeted by an almost palpable blast of sound. Needless to say, I jumped out of my skin. It's depressing that some music is so… bad… that the volume has to be cranked up in order for the experience to be even marginally enjoyable. Maybe they're drowning themselves out.
With the growing popularity of CDs in the 1990s, albums increased their loudness. Believing, mistakenly, that consumers preferred songs that were louder, they digitally mastered them to increase the volume. When they reached the maximum peak level of analog recordings, they turned to signal processing techniques such as dynamic range compression and equalization. As a result of these techniques, the loudness of music has been steadily increasing over the years.
Dynamic range compression, however, can cause clipping and distortion, which is entirely undesirable in music. These modern recordings sacrifice sound quality to loudness. Really, when I buy music, I want to actually hear it as it was meant to be, not distorted. If you have some good quality speakers, then you don't need to turn the volume up to hear the song, and the sound quality will be much better.
The increasing loudness has happened somewhat gradually, which allows for consumers to adjust to it. They get used to the loud music, and so even when the recording itself is normal, without extreme loudness, the consumers do it themselves. Like my brother. Unfortunately, many people, especially children, have damaged their hearing due to the loudness war. We expect our ears to be ringing after a concert. But after a car ride? That's not right.
Now, with digital downloads predominant in music sales, the loudness is controlled by normalization technology such as ReplayGain and Apple's Sound Check. But those who have already had their hearing damaged, or at least become used to the sheer volume level of modern recordings, will continue to crank the volume up.

Short story
I have a technical problem with a third-party library at my hands that I seem to be unable to easily solve in a way other than creating a surrogate key (despite the fact that I'll never need it). I've read a number of articles on the Net discouraging the use of surrogate keys, and I'm a bit at a loss if it is okay to do what I intend to do.
Long story
I need to specify a primary key, because I use SQLAlchemy ORM (which requires one), and I cannot just set it in
__mapper_args__, since the class is being built with classobj, and I have yet to find a way to reference the field of a not-yet-existing class in the appropriate PK definition argument. Another problem is that the natural equivalent of the PK is a composite key that is too long for the version of MySQL I use (and it's generally a bad idea to use such long primary keys anyway).

Bankers Association Looking Forward To 'Better Outcomes' From The Incoming Republican House
Back in October, potential House Financial Services Chairman Spencer Bachus (R-AL) chided the financial services industry for donating to Democrats, since the Democratic Congress had passed the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory reform bill. "It is hard to believe, he told the crowd, that some in their industry were still giving more to Democrats than Republicans after, he said, Democrats hammered them with over-reaching Wall Street reform legislation," Politico reported.
The banks responded to the regulatory reform effort by giving heavily to Republicans. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, "Republican candidates received 34 million dollars in donations from the finance, insurance and real estate sector since January compared to 23 million dollars given to Democrats." And now the banking industry is expecting to get what it paid for:
"We had been disappointed with a number of legislative outcomes with the past Congress, and so we look forward to better outcomes with this Congress," said Peter Garuccio, a spokesman for the American Bankers Association in Washington. Garuccio said banks expect a corrections bill to peel back some of the financial regulations passed into law this year.
The American Bankers Association — which is the banking industry's largest trade group — lobbied heavily on the Dodd-Frank law, claiming that consumers were happy with the predatory practices and exorbitant fees that banks charged for services.
House Republicans have their eye on numerous changes to the Dodd-Frank law, including weakening the Volcker Rule (which prevents banks from engaging in risky trading with taxpayer dollars) and subjecting the independent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to the annual appropriations process. Bachus himself has also suggested watering down the law's provisions reforming the derivatives market.
Of course, working with hordes of lobbyists from the financial services industry is nothing new for House Republicans. Last December, incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) huddled with more than 100 bank lobbyists to brainstorm ways of defeating financial reform entirely.
Boehner also urged the American Bankers Association — the same organization that is now crafting its wish-list for the GOP-led House — to fight regulatory reform tooth and nail. "Don't let those little punk [Congressional] staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves," Boehner told the ABA.

10 Stress-Busting Tips from Moms Like Youby Erin Dower
A stressed mom is an unhappy mom. If you're feeling frazzled, frustrated, or drained from the daily grind of being a busy parent, learn some simple stress-relief tips submitted by our readers — other real mothers who have been in your shoes. Please share your own stress-busters and "me time" ideas in the comments section below.
1 of 11
Start and Finish the Day in Peace
Do you often wonder where the day has gone? In the mad rush to take care of the kids, the hours all blur together. Try to set aside even just a few minutes of meditation or quiet time in your own little corner of your home at the beginning and end of each day. Light an energizing citrus-scented candle in the morning, and a calming lavender-scented candle at night. (Just remember to blow them out!)
One mom says: "Take a few minutes to take some deep breaths, enjoy looking out the window or at a peaceful photo, and focus on something positive at the beginning of the day. I am a mother of six children, and I can tell this works because when I forget to do it, I find myself stopping more often during the day to refocus and get back on a positive track."
Another mom, who swears by taking "five minutes of peace" a day, notes: "By the way, new moms, babies are safe in their cribs. If you need time to 'chill out,' putting your baby in her crib crying for five minutes is much safer than losing your temper with her."

WELLSBURG - Brooke County voters have chosen Chuck Jackson, chief sheriff's deputy under current Sheriff Richard Ferguson, to take over the sheriff's job in January.
Jackson faced no Republican challenger, but former Brooke County Sheriff Mike Allman, whom he had defeated on the Democratic ticket in May's primary election, filed as an official write-in candidate for Tuesday's general election.
Allman's name didn't appear on ballots, but it was posted at polling sites and voters could submit his name through the write-in option on the county's electronic voting machines.
Article Photos
Jackson received 5,725 votes, about 67 percent of those cast, while 2,731 write-in votes were counted. County Clerk Sylvia Benzo said the number of those write-ins cast for Allman hadn't been determined at about midnight.
Totals for the election were delayed until then by a problem with a voting machine in the 34th Precinct, where voters cast ballots at Lauretta B. Millsop Primary School. But by midnight all votes, including 1,679 early votes, and 248 absentee votes, had been counted.
A total of 9,469 of 17,512 registered voters in the county turned out for the election.
All totals are unofficial until ballots are canvassed on Tuesday.
"I'm very pleased voters chose met to be sheriff of Brooke County," Jackson said. "I'm not a politician, I'm a career policeman, and that's what they elected."
Jackson had retired after 22 years in the West Virginia State Police, for which he served as a captain and troop commander, when he was recruited by Ferguson in 2004 to serve as chief sheriff's deputy.
He said as sheriff, "Everything I do will be geared toward giving the public a professional sheriff's department that will work to address the drug problem and crime."
No other county races were opposed by Tuesday's election.

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Mark Burrell, Task Force BroncoJune 9, 2011
KUNAR PROVINCE, Afghanistan, June 8, 2011 -- "I don't think I adopted America. America adopted me," Brazilian-born Army Cpl. Joel M. Kuhn said as he sat outside of Nangalam Base in eastern Afghanistan's Kunar province.
As a boy, Kuhn, a combat medic assigned to 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, Task Force Cacti, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, Task Force Bronco, looked up to his father and cousins, who were in the Brazilian army.
When Kuhn first thought about enlisting in the U.S. Army, he said, he was on a work visa in Glendale, Calif., and looking for something else to do that not only was exciting, but also would help to pay his bills. He decided to become a combat medic in 2008 because of an enlistment bonus, and he called his mother in Brazil to tell her the good news.
"The first thing she asked me if my [specialty] had to work with the infantry on the front lines or if I would be working in a hospital setting," Kuhn said. "I told her, 'You know, I never asked that before. That should be one of the questions that I should have asked my recruiter.'"
Kuhn smiled and shook his head.
"But I told her, 'The way that things are going, the way I see it, I will probably be working with the infantry,'" he said. "And I guess I was right."
Now, on his second combat tour with the infantry, Kuhn couldn't have been more right. Most days, he treats troops in combat, and on some days, he trains troops what to do in combat.
"All right, let's say your battle buddy gets shot in the leg. Where do you want to put the tourniquet to stop the bleeding?" Kuhn asked Afghan soldiers during medical training at Nangalam Base. He patiently waited for a response, then asked the soldier who answered to show him how to put a tourniquet on properly.
Sgt. Nathan A. Timmons, an infantry team leader, said Kuhn behaves in the same way at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, their home station.
"You don't know something, he'll spend the time to teach you," he said. "He likes to help people -- likes to make sure they are doing the right thing. All in all, I think it's good for him, [and] good for everybody else, as well."
Timmons deployed with Kuhn during a dangerous tour in Iraq.
"I would not take any other medic if I had a choice, and that's the God's honest truth," he said. "Just the way he is, I mean. I've seen some medics who know their job. By all means, our medics are good, but Kuhn goes above and beyond."
In a matter of three months in Iraq, Kuhn's truck was blown up about nine times, Timmons said. Every time, Kuhn used his skills to help his comrades on the battlefield.
"No fear, like I said. He's quick on his feet, knows his job, treats everybody the same," Timmons explained. "I can even think back to when he helped some Iraqi guys back when they got wounded. Doesn't really much matter to him what country they're from. He takes care of everybody equally and treats everybody the same."
Now, Kuhn is helping Afghans.
"If medics aren't there when we're on patrols, then we have to step up and treat each other," said Sgt. Fati Shah Meenawal, an Afghan army infantryman. Like many other troops to whom Kuhn teaches combat lifesaver techniques, Meenwal already has been in situations where this training would have been helpful.
"On a previous combat patrol, in Nuristan, four of our soldiers got wounded by insurgent gunfire," Meenwal said. "We tried to get all of them evacuated, but only evacuated three soldiers. We realized the fourth soldier wasn't put on the vehicle. We went back for him and had to use our own medical knowledge to save him."
Trainers like Kuhn, who are patient, experienced and invested in helping others, can really make the difference between life and death, the Afghan soldier added.
"Today's training was very good and helpful," he said. "But these are skills not just for combat. Perhaps even when we are not on patrol, we can use these skills to help the local citizens that get hurt in a car accident, for example."
Kuhn agreed, and said helping people, no matter where they come from, is a part of who he is.
"Over here, these guys are so isolated.The only Americans that they see here are us," he said. "Being in the military is not just giving back to America, because we are not just doing good for America.
"We're not just doing good for people back home," he added, "but we are doing good for the populations in other countries also."

Critics bashing critics
Posted 17 October 2002 - 08:19 AM
Posted 09 October 2002 - 03:24 PM
Barnes is not my favorite critic, to put it mildly, but again noting that I haven't read the item, this isn't necessarily out of line.
I certainly didn't see anything in the original article to wig out about; Homans said little that others haven't.

However, I'd add that younger people who don't know Barnes' "history" might do well to learn something about it.
Posted 14 October 2002 - 04:50 PM
As Alexandra notes, this kind of thing appeared mostly in Croce's early collection, Afterimages. I wonder if using other critics as a punching bag is characteristic mainly of critics who are just starting to stake out their positions. Pauline Kael's first collection, I Lost It At the Movies, is full of the same kind of thing.

Posted 25 October 2002 - 03:33 PM
I agree that dissenting views should always be welcome. It's too bad that the article wasn't all it might have been, because there is a case to be made, whether one agrees with it or not.
Posted 10 October 2002 - 06:04 AM
Although I haven't read the piece either, I suspect that Barnes is referring to a famous New Yorker cartoon from the 1920s in which a little boy reacts to his mother's serving him vegetables by saying, "I say it's spinach and I say the hell with it." The line has become a way of calling a spade a spade.
(In those days, children did not swear.)

Homan's article was light weight. I thought it something of an antidote, however, to the rentless boosterism of the Times with respect to nearly everything at NYCB.
It was important that Gottlieb's history with Balanchine and then Martins be known to those who read his pieces, so that they could evaluate his credibility, as a lawyer might say, and reach an opinion as to the weight to give his views. I wonder how many of the younger readers of Dance Magazine will be similarly aware of Barnes's history as critical lap dog for the company, when they read him bashing Homans.
Posted 26 October 2002 - 05:44 AM
The Directorate there is famous for being sensitive to the point of defensiveness about criticism. The Times has provided a great deal of critical "cover" for the company over the years and the Homans' piece could well have "drawn" psychic "blood" there, particularly when more minor criticisms appear to have drawn a defensive reaction over the years. It does not overstate the case to say that Barnes has responded to criticism of City Ballet in the past, particularly when the criticism was prominent and the company needed a prominent rebuttle (as in the Croce incident discussed above). Does this mean I think NYCB actually suggested that he provide a rebuttle to Homans? I think it is at least plausible.
And in any event I found his reference to a critic needing to be "unbiased" quite humerous.
Posted 09 October 2002 - 02:34 PM
While I admit, I'm not a fan of Mr. Barnes, I've seen him asleep at more performances than I can count. I was quite taken back at his editorial.
It concerns the recent, controversial article by Jennifer Homans in the NY Times "Where is the Heartbeat in the Balanchine Legacy".
Mr. Barnes starts the article saying hope "opinions in the arts are only as good as the people making them" and then goes on about Ms. Homans. who he's never heard of but cites that she "apparently writes about dance for The New Republic" and her dance background(SAB then PNB).
He doesn't really refute any of the points she made in her piece, his response is "spinach" and "double spinach" (I'm completely lost on that meaning) he just expresses dismay at how the NY Times printed such a piece especially since Ms. Homans completely contradicts the "brilliant, knowledgeable and experienced Anna Kisselgoff".
I was completely shocked by the piece. Instead of knocking Ms. Homans, perhaps he should have just written a piece on what good is going on at City Ballet. I still am completely amazed, at what I would consider completely unprofessional behavior.
The last line clinched it
"benighted, foolish editor who either commissioned you or accepted you. Dance history will see you both out, unnoticed".
Perhaps it's time Mr. Barnes takes his 60 plus years of experience and put it to some decent reviews as opposed to bashing a fellow colleague.
I've lost what little respect I had for the man.

Fighting Convention
OK.. so I want to break with tradition using JSBuilder 1.1. I used the supplied SVN resource builder to make a nice yui-ext.css file with all the kids in the family. I want to locate the result in my assets/css/yui-ext directory for easy inclusion in my project. No problem there. The build lets me know my images are to be found in ../images/ however. I would prefer to locate my images in yui-ext/ along with yui-ext.css though... how can I change the build project file or build GUI parameters to do this?

At the moment, you're somewhat constrained to working within the parameters of your physical file layout. That's actually the whole reason that the scripts and resources are currently built with two separate .jsb files. This is already on our list of things to improve in 1.2. Our goal is to make it more like an IDE, where you can define your project structure however you want and simply map files into it, regardless of where they are located on disk.
Until then, there's not an easy way to do what you want unless you're willing to go the Ant route, in which case you can simply have the build script move your output files around however you want after JSB has finished.

Bowling Green High School has started an anti-bullying campaign.
This week, several bullying-related activities, are taking place to raise awareness.
Parents will gather Thursday night to talk about their concerns about bullying, and students will talk about their concerns on Friday.
Tuesday, the anti-bullying campaign kicks off, with students from different social groups, working together to paint a mural.
"Last semester, we did a lot of primary research with Bowling Green High School students, and found that sometimes students aren't really aware of what bullying is. Maybe they don't think gossiping is bullying, or telling on someone in the hallway is bullying, so we're just going to try and bring students together to build a little bit of common unity throughout the school," says campaign leader, Drew Mitchell.
The mural will include symbols from various groups at Bowling Green High School in hopes of uniting students from different social backgrounds.

Your nurses will encourage you to get out of bed the following day, and by the day after this you may be well enough to do most things for yourself, with help. Women usually go home on the fourth day after the cesarean.
There are several common, but minor, problems associated with cesareans. These include bleeding during the surgery, or a day or so later; the need for a blood transfusion; or getting a minor infection in the bladder or in the abdominal incision. Getting a major infection is far less common and having to have a major second surgery because of a life-threatening incision infection is rare. The chance of a blood clot forming in the pelvic veins is higher if you don't receive medication to thin the blood after your cesarean. If you are generally well and you are given this medication, the chance of a life-threatening blood clot on your lungs is extremely small. Since sharp implements are used during the surgery, there is a risk that your bladder, or even your baby, could be cut during the surgery. Your bowels are less likely to be damaged and your other internal organs are highly unlikely to be injured.

The derailer on my 21-speed bike looks like it's bent. It won't let the chain go onto the 3rd ring of the front derailer so, no I can't shift past the 14th speed. If I try it makes a loud sound, like it's about to rip apart the whole bike.
I am not sure whether the cable is loose or tight, but the derailer does looks bent. How can I fix or adjust this?

City dwellers across the country are picking up shovels and burying seeds, part of a burgeoning movement to bring fresh, local produce back to urban areas. But before you join their ranks, stop and check your soil. It might be flecked with dangerous lead. On today's episode of Distillations we look at the challenges of urban agriculture and the innovative ways to solve them. First producer Charlie Mintz visits West Oakland to reveal how an EPA-funded program is leeching lead out of backyard gardens using hundreds of tons of discarded fishbones. Then we sit down with Graceful Gardens' Alice Edgerton and Fair Food Philadelphia's Alex Jones to learn about how to best make an urban garden grow.

Is it important for SEO, with which company a domain name is registered? And more particular - is it okay to have my domain registered here: MinmaxGroup? Or would be I better off transferring it to GoDaddy, for example?
The registrar for a domain does not have any impact on SEO. It has nothing to do with the website, its content, or its relevancy for any given search term
It doesn't matter SEO-wise where you purchase or register a domain.
If you also use the same company for hosting it will have an impact on where the domain is hosted and what IP your domain gets, which of course also might have a performance impact as well. Say you host your site in Togo, you might experience slow speeds.

The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars presented awards to two distinguished Louisville leaders on Sept. 18 at The Henry Clay in Louisville. Randy Coe of Kosair Charities received the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service and C. Edward Glasscock of Frost Todd Brown received the Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship.
The Woodrow Wilson Award is given to those individuals whose actions and accomplishments, either in their careers or through service, reflect President Woodrow Wilson's belief that "there is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed." Such individuals have been recognized worldwide by The Wilson Center since 1998. Previous Louisville recipients of the Woodrow Wilson Award include The Honorable Elaine L. Chao, the late Owsley Brown II, Elaine "Cissy" Musselman, and David. C. Novak.

W. Edwards Deming
From Wikiquote
William Edwards Deming (October 14, 1900 – December 20, 1993) was an American statistician, college professor, author, lecturer, and consultant, known for his work in the field of Quality management.
- Uncontrolled variation is the enemy of quality.
- Attributed to Edward Deming (1980) in: Chang W. Kang, Paul H. Kvam (2012) Basic Statistical Tools for Improving Quality. p. 19
- That's all window dressing. That's not fundamental. That's not getting at change and the transformation that must take place. Sure we have to solve problems. Certainly stamp out the fire. Stamp out the fire and get nowhere. Stamp out the fires puts us back to where we were in the first place. Taking action on the basis of results without theory of knowledge, without theory of variation, without knowledge about a system. Anything goes wrong, do something about it, overreacting; acting without knowledge, the effect is to make things worse. With the best of intentions and best efforts, managing by results is, in effect, exactly the same, as Dr. Myron Tribus put it, while driving your automobile, keeping your eye on the rear view mirror, what would happen? And that's what management by results is, keeping your eye on results.
- The Deming of America, Documentary broadcast on the PBS network (1991)
- The worker is not the problem. The problem is at the top! Management!
- Cultural Transformation Study Guide Accessed December 19, 2006
- Learning is not compulsory; it's voluntary. Improvement is not compulsory; it's voluntary. But to survive, we must learn.
- Deming: The Way We Knew Him (1995)
- Note: This quote is often cited as "Learning is not compulsory... neither is survival."
- Blame the process, not the people.
If Japan Can...Why Can't We? (1980)[edit]
White paper broadcast by NBC in 1980
- They realized that the gains that you get by statistical methods are gains that you get without new machinery, without new people. Anybody can produce quality if he lowers his production rate. That is not what I am talking about. Statistical thinking and statistical methods are to Japanese production workers, foremen, and all the way through the company, a second language. In statistical control you have a reproducible product hour after hour, day after day. And see how comforting that is to management, they now know what they can produce, they know what their costs are going to be.
- I think that people here expect miracles. American management thinks that they can just copy from Japan—but they don't know what to copy!
Out Of The Crisis (1982)[edit]
W. Edwards Deming (1982) Out Of The Crisis. The MIT Press. (2e ed. 1986)
- In Europe and in America, people are now more interested in the cost of quality and in systems of quality-audit. But in Japan, we are keeping very strong interest to improve quality by use of methods which you started....when we improve quality we also improve productivity, just as you told us in 1950 would happen.
- p. 2
- Defects are not free. Somebody makes them, and gets paid for making them.
- p. 11
- Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service, to improve quality and productivity, and thus constantly decrease costs.
- p. 23 (Point 5 from the "Condensation of the 14 Points for Management" presented in Chapter 2)
- Quality comes not from inspection, but from improvement of the production process.
- p. 29
- Part of America's industrial problems is the aim of its corporate managers. Most American executives think they are in the business to make money, rather than products or service...The Japanese corporate credo, on the other hand, is that a company should become the world's most efficient provider of whatever product and service it offers. Once it becomes the world leader and continues to offer good products, profits follow.
- p. 99
- The supposition is prevalent the world over that there would be no problems in production or service if only our production workers would do their jobs in the way that they we taught. Pleasant dreams. The workers are handicapped by the system, and the system belongs to the management.
- p. 134
- We cannot rely on mass inspection to improve quality, though there are times when 100 percent inspection is necessary. As Harold S. Dodge said many years ago, 'You cannot inspect quality into a product.' The quality is there or it isn't by the time it's inspected.
- p. 139
- Foremost is the principle that the purpose of consumer research is to understand the customer's needs and wishes, and thus design product and service that will provide better living for him in the future. A second principle is that no one can guess the future loss of business from a dissatisfied customer...
- p. 175
The New Economics for Industry, Government, Education (1993)[edit]
- The prevailing style of management must undergo transformation. A system cannot understand itself. The transformation requires a view from outside. The aim of this chapter is to provide an outside view—a lens—that I call a system of profound knowledge. It provides a map of theory by which to understand the organizations that we work in. The first step is transformation of the individual. This transformation is discontinuous. It comes from understanding of the system of profound knowledge. The individual, transformed, will perceive new meaning to his life, to events, to numbers, to interactions between people. Once the individual understands the system of profound knowledge, he will apply its principles in every kind of relationship with other people. He will have a basis for judgment of his own decisions and for transformation of the organizations that he belongs to.
- The various segments of the system of profound knowledge proposed here cannot be separated. They interact with each other. Thus, knowledge of psychology is incomplete without knowledge of variation.
- A manager of people needs to understand that all people are different. This is not ranking people. He needs to understand that the performance of anyone is governed largely by the system that he works in, the responsibility of management.
- What is a system? A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim. Without an aim, there is no system. The aim of the system must be clear to everyone in the system. The aim must include plans for the future. The aim is a value judgment. (We are of course talking here about a man-made system.)
- It is important that an aim never be defined in terms of a specific activity or method. It must always relate to a better life for everyone.
- Choice of aim is clearly a matter of clarification of values, especially on the choice between possible options.
- A system must be managed. It will not manage itself. Left to themselves in the Western world, components become selfish, competitive, independent profit centres, and thus destroy the system. . . . The secret is cooperation between components toward the aim of the organization. We can not afford the destructive effect of competition.
- To successfully respond to the myriad of changes that shake the world, transformation into a new style of management is required. The route to take is what I call profound knowledge - knowledge for leadership of transformation.
- Management's job. It is management's job to direct the efforts of all components toward the aim of the system. The first step is clarification: everyone in the organization must understand the aim of the system, and how to direct his efforts toward it. Everyone must understand the damage and loss to the whole organization from a team that seeks to become a selfish, independent, profit centre.
- . . .the principle that where there is fear, there will be wrong figures. . . .
- What is the variation trying to tell us about a process, about the people in the process?
- Knowledge is theory. We should be thankful if action of management is based on theory. Knowledge has temporal spread. Information is not knowledge. The world is drowning in information but is slow in acquisition of knowledge. There is no substitute for knowledge.
- Experience by itself teaches nothing...Without theory, experience has no meaning. Without theory, one has no questions to ask. Hence without theory there is no learning.

Android 4 list is performing worse in ST2 then ST1 (slow scroll)
Look here:
The first App is a ST1 app with advanced tpl's with buttons, images ect.
It has no problems at all with following my finger smoothly.
The next application is the plain list from the Kitchen Sink ST2 look how bad it is from 0:34.
Lag builds up and it is very hard to use lists on Android 4 with ST2 because its only smooth if you scroll fast. If the tpl is more complex (like the first app, its much worse).
So there must be something you guys can do when you have a better performing list in ST1 than ST2. (When talking Android 4)

so there is hope...! I was about abandoning Touch because of this performance issue on ICS. Very much looking forward to a statement from Sencha. Thank you hotdp for bringing this up!!

11 Jun 2012 10:50 PM #5
any news on that one?
12 Jun 2012 12:13 PM #6
Let me go over a few items here so you can understand where this (and some other) performance issues are currently. Warning: incoming wall of text...
In General - Layouts
There are layout related issues that are contributing to some of the problems you are seeing where the CSS is doing too much work and we need to do a better job of isolating panels and provide more layout information that we know about to the browser so it can isolate better. This problem affects all devices and is seen in more complex applications and any time you nest layouts. We have a prototyped solution to this issue and it will be part of the 2.1 release. The API impact of this is rather minimal and it will be very deep in the layout code where we don't see too many developers having to tinker with. We are going to change some of the DOM around slightly and we're trying to make the impact of this change on developers as minimal as possible. The good news is the impact is quite dramatic and should go a long way toward making the user HTML experience as good as it can be.
A bit more specific to Android ICS
As I hope most devs are aware, we opened an issue with Google back in February (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25147) which demonstrated a serious issue in ICS when changing the compositing of any item. Finally, on June 2 we received a response from the Android team to the problem. We have had a good back and forth with them and they have acknowledged the issue and have said "We are aware of the problem and hope to improve things in an upcoming release." In the meantime they gave some suggestions on things we can do and said the the currently available 4.0.4 release fixes a serious painting problem which is indirectly related to this issue. We have tested the painting 'workaround' previously and it wasn't a viable solution to the problem. Upon hearing that the painting issue was resolved we went back and tried again and the results are very encouraging. By keeping a set of elements permanently composited and changing their contents, we can now get an aceptable experience. This can help in many common areas and some transitions if done correctly, so for the first time we now have an existing ICS version (4.0.4) with a way to workaround some (though not all) of these problems. In addition, it looks like the Android team is taking the issue seriously and committing resources to resolving it.
Lists in 2.1
For the next release (2.1), we have been preparing some changes to DataView/List which will fundamentally change how lists work and provide seamless access to large data sets. A list backed by a Store of 10,000 items will no longer be a problem and not be slower than a list with 10 items in it. The first iteration of this will require a fixed size to the items in the list and fixed header sizing. Though this limitation should go away in a later version. The interesting thing is how well this approach fits in with what is necessary for 4.0.4 ICS. It was almost custom made for it and lists are quite fluid on ICS using this approach.
Some other specifics to your specific issue is that we do see the poor performance in the Kitchen Sink lists, but it isn't as pronounced in the external version of the same list (the standalone list example and Tweet example). We are investigating the causes of this though we believe it to be related to the layout problem I mentioned earlier.
Now for some general timeframes (these are guesstimates and subject to a lot of change). The performance improvements mentioned here are currently being done outside of our normal branches, but we believe them to be complete and working well. Before we merge them in, we are reworking our measurement and testing tools to be sure we are covering as many possible scenarios as we can think of and be sure that things not only work correctly, but are faster. So it is a few weeks to have that in place before we start the port of the changes into the main code branch and then a couple weeks for the merge to happen. Once that happens we want to put that out in the 2.1 beta cycle for everyone to try out and give us feedback. Between now and then we want to give you access to the 2.1 Charts and the new List implementation as soon as we can (probably in that order). Charts is still a little rough around the edges, but the performance improvement is quite dramatic and you will see them very soon. Lists shortly after that, then the layout changes. Of course during this time we continue to work on other issues and a 2.0.2 release is pending within the next couple of weeks as well.
12 Jun 2012 12:27 PM #7
thanks Jamie, you made my day (well, night over here...)!
hopefully we will see the new stuff soon (especially the lists)
12 Jun 2012 12:35 PM #8
Thank you Jamie,
Great with a good and thorough explanation.
I guess the "funny" thing is why it performs better in ST2?
Also I can confirm that "nesting" have a dramatic impact on the overall list performance. Only one tabpanel and one other container is enough.
So there might be a beta fix within weeks?
12 Jun 2012 1:49 PM #9
As soon as we can with at least of of the items I talked about. It's going to be a bit staggered with new features coming in with these releases.
13 Jun 2012 11:40 AM #10
Great to hear you guys are on top of this. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Can someone please explain the difference between local rigidity and infinitesimal rigidity? Does either version of rigidity imply the other?
In particular, I'm thinking about Weil's rigidity theorem for hyperbolic metrics on manifolds of dimension $\geq 3$. I've seen it referred to as both local and infinitesimal, which further adds to my confusion about the distinction.

By the GAGA principle we know that a holomorphic vector bundle E->X is analitically isomorphic to an algebraic one, say F->X, and by definition F is locally trivial in the Zariski topology. But since the isomorphism between E and F is analytic, I fail to see if this implies that E is Zariski locally trivial too.
I hope the answer is not "trivially yes" for some stupid reason, but I cannot guarantee that.

You probably have noticed the shiny purple bags on the way to the bathroom. It probably catches your eye, but you are in such a rush to get back to your double-unders that you have not really thought about it. It is a brand of chia seeds called Mila that is the best in class for chia seeds.
Chia seeds are an amazing source of Omega 3's, protein (with all the essential amino acids), fiber, and antioxidants. Mila by itself has the perfect functional blend of carbohydrates to fats and proteins (4:3:3… the very same as the Zone diet). That is all well and good, but perhaps still not convincing enough for you to buy a bag of seeds.
For many people (but certainly not all), Mila has had profound and life enhancing effects. For me personally, it has helped regulate my horrendous monthly mood swings, massively reduces my post CrossFit inflammation and the pain in my knees, and really helped me embrace a Paleo lifestyle and even got me enjoying food preparation and to top it off, opened a number of doors towards a healthier lifestyle. I will never stop eating my Mila and I can't help but want to share it with my friends. If you come over for a meal, chances are I'm sneaking some Mila into your diet… kids too and the fussier the eater your child is, the more I will sneak it in!
For many of my friends, Mila has had an even more powerful impact on their health. For many people it has significantly reduced (if not eliminated) life long chronic migraines, allergies, helped stabilize digestive conditions, diabetes, helping with ADHD and Autism pushed extreme, and shifting competitive and even recreational athletes to the next level. Some friends have carefully come off Lipitor, Antidepressant meds, pain killers, carefully and with doctors monitoring their blood work, etc. These are not just stories, these are my friends, my friend who cleans my house, the parents at my school, my Mom's older friends (one who is terminally ill with cancer but has found joy and energy through eating Mila), even my own Mom. It brings me to tears to just write about it. Mila is just a food, not a medicine, but as the saying goes "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food – Hippocrates".
Roger is a huge proponent of a healthy diet as being an integral part of getting fit and getting into shape. In clinical studies, Mila outperforms the other chia seeds on the market (it is a specially selected blend of chia from around the world that has been cold fractured to make all the oils remain intact yet be bio available), so Roger brought Mila into The Cave to help people with their fitness, recovery, and health. Yes, it is more expensive than what you find at the supermarkets, but the results are what counts.
In order to see health impacts, one needs to eat Mila on a daily basis. A typical adult serving is 2 tablespoons a day and maybe some of our athletes will end up thriving on more than that. Extreme athletes eat up to 8 scoops a day when they are competing. Mila also stabilizing how water is delivered to one's body and stabilizes such things as carbohydrate transformation and nutrient delivery. I like to drink my two to four tablespoons a day in a 32 ounce container of water, or coconut water when I feel the need for a treat. I also like to cook with Mila and use it in sauces, kid pancakes, popsicles, smoothies, fruit bars. You can bake with it, freeze it and use it in just about any way possible. My daughter thinks that it is cool and will have it in her water, my 5 year old son is not as convinced, so he does not need to know that he is eating it. It's a part of their diet whether they like it or not.
Some people from the get go and other after about one to two months of eating Mila consistently, feel more full of energy, more joyful, healthier, less body inflammation. Coach Amanda is hooked on Mila as are a number of other Cave folks. I am obviously very passionate about Mila and would love to help Cave folks people figure out how to incorporate it in their diet and those of their children. Consistency is key and finding that consistency can be tricky at first, but once you see the health benefits, you too will be hooked.
There is more technical info here on how it can help all you athletes:
If you are looking for ways to incorporate it in your diet or have other questions, shoot me a message: email@example.com or comment on the blog.

We have found (against all reason) that we have an infestation of head lice at home. I don't know where my kids got it (and at this point it doesn't matter) but I've never had to deal with this before. When I was a kid I never got it, nor did anyone I know. There were never any reported cases in any of my schools.
Anyway, we've treated their heads and spent hours (upon hours upon hours) picking nits out of their hair. Bed linens have been washed multiple times, pillows and stuffed animals are put away in plastic bags, and we've sprayed the furniture and car interiors with a lice-killing spray. Oh, and we've called the parents of all the kids mine have been in contact with.
Am I missing something? How long does it take to ensure they're truly gone?

Hello everybody,
I am considering purchasing a fisheye or ultra-wide angle lens for my Canon 450d (from the Digital Rebel XSi kit) and I have narroed it down to these three options:
Sigma 10-20mm 4-5.6 EX DC Canon HSM ultra-wide angle lens
Sigma 8mm F3.5 EX DG Canon Circ Fisheye lens
Canon EF-s 10-22mm 3.5-4.5 USM ultra-wide angle lens
My question is what do other people think about these lenses? Are they usefull for 360x180 panoramas or do they cause some problems? What lens offers the best bang for your buck> Will they work with my 450d (I think so, but I would like confimation) How many shots around are need for 360 degrees (3 or 4 for the Sigma 8mm and 6 or 8 for the others?)? I don't intend to ever print any panos, I will just be posting them online. Also, will my setup (canon 450d with any of these lenses) fit onto the Nodal Ninja MK3. That is the pano head I have now and I am not ready to upgrade yet.
At the moment, I will not purchase anything, I am just doing research to see what is my best option. Right now I really like the Sigma 10-20mm because of the price ($700). I am only a student and I can't afford to dish out thousands for just a lens, I would rather spend the money on books for school or tuition.
Anyways, thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions. Hopefully one day I will make up my mind.


text: Here is a pretty lesson on "how to draw a Daphne flower", step by step. This flower is as pretty as they get and they come in either light pink or white. These flowers or plants start blooming in May. They sort of look like daffodils but without the rounded center. Drawing a Daphne flower should be pretty basic. There is only four petals which means replicating this flower shouldn't take you too long. I will be back tomorrow with more drawing fun for you all so be sure to come back around.
