The left-back expresses his delight at signing his extended new deal before insisting that his side will return stronger after a disappointing season all aroundManchester City left-back Gael Clichy has signed a new four-year contract at the Etihad Stadium that will keep him at the club until 2017.
|Gael Clichy is 45/1 with BetVictor to score the first goal in Man City v Norwich
The contract is set to keep him at the club until he is 31 and, having signed the contract, Clichy is hopeful about his long-term future as he assured supporters that they will return stronger after a disappointing season.
"I'm really happy to have agreed a new deal with City and I'm already looking forward to next season," he told the club's official website.
"Things didn't go the way we wanted them to this year but we'll come back stronger next season and learn from this experience."
The France international previously spent eight years at Arsenal, making 187 appearances since joining the club in 2003 from Caen.

To my knowledge house cats (and likely other felines) are the only animal able to go into remission after onset of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. I don't have a reference, this has been by peers in my research institution and by a veterinarian. Has this mechanism been studied, and if so, what is it?
I spent a couple of years working in a diabetes research institute. And you did hear right.
Cats dogs monkeys all can be susceptible to diabetes, although rats and mice don't seem to have diabetes that behaves the same way as humans - I don't think a mouse has ever been observed to get diabetes without specific gene knockouts. One could argue that mice simply do not get diabetes the way people do.
There are two causes of type 2 diabetes in the research world. The first happens because the animal may have a genetic susceptibility and environmental conditions induce the disease (like most people). The second happens because of mutations in one specific gene or another pretty much cause it to happen when the animal gets to a mature age (google term: mature onset diabetes in the young (MODY)). MODY genes have not proven to be a great model for type 2 diabetes treatment in most people (about 1% of diabetics have a MODY diabetes though).
Cats and dogs have been animals of interest as models of diabetes because their symptoms are human like and have shorter reproductive cycles. Some cats (like Burmese) clearly have a greater genetic predisposition to diabetes, but cats who are obese, have high glycemic diets, or who get little or no physical activity are more likely to develop diabetes.
As with humans, the condition leads to the insulin secreting cells of of the pancreas to slowly degrade and if these cells are gone, there is no recovery from type 2 diabetes. All this given its likely that cats get diabetes that is similar to the human condition.
In treating cats its been shown that such diabetes can be reversed. The most important thing to do - common to all treatments - is to change the cat's diet - restrict calories if the cat is obese and change high glycemic food. Additionally, insulin or drug treatments that reduce insulin resistance (such as are given to humans) can restart the islet cells that secrete insulin if the animal is lucky and don't always have to be lifetime prescriptions.
The reference I have does not give remission statistics, but it must work a reasonable amount of the time.
But I wouldn't want to leave you with the impression that cats are special. It turns out that human diabetes type 2 is often reversible. This reference estimates 80% of the time. This study mostly focuses on the same treatments - change of diet and some fasting, but no exercise regimin as the cats.
There's probably nothing magical about cat diabetes 2... ;)

Got it from work. Was never told why I needed it but all of the new teachers got one.
Posting here is a good enough reason for me.
Anyone have one? What are your a
a favorite apps?
For goofing around, I like Bloons Tower Defense games (monkeys need to pop hundreds of balloons along different pathways with various upgradeable weapons). I have Bloons TD4 now, and just heard that Bloons TD5 is out, so I'll have to download that soon. There's some logic involved, and it gets harder as it goes along (but you earn more bananas to buy cooler anti-balloon contraptions too).
I also like puzzle type games like 100 Floors that I can try to figure out with my kids.
The games my kid's downloaded, like the Angry Birds games, Where's My Water, Cut the Rope, etc. can be fun at times too.
Thanks! Anyone else?
Not much of a gamer, but I like the Sims game. I play around with Garageband more than anything. The ESPN app that allows you to watch games is a good one. Especially during college games bc i can watch two games that way.
I think your suggestion would be helpful for me. I will let you know if this works for me Thanks and keep posting such a informative blogs.
I recently got an iPad (and I hope there is no problem reviving an old thread). I mostly use it to listen to the radio using the TuneIn Radio, and IHeart Radio apps. I also stream emergency services communications using the Scanner Radio app. But the #1 app I use on my phone or iPad is Sound Hound for when I hear a song and want to know the artists' name. I look forward to hearing others' favorite apps.
Love soundhound. I also use Show Of Hands a lot. The word processors out there for the ipad suck.

Worked for me
A quick work around is to change your row selection events from 'select' to 'beforeselect'. And then in the beforeselect event handler return false to cancel further selection handling. I was able to perform all my needed event handling in the beforeselect handler so this work-around provided a temporary solution for me.

Brain & Nervous System Health Center
Spine Injury Breakthrough: Paralyzed Man Stands, Moves
May 19, 2011 - Rob Summers can't walk -- yet. But he can do something no other person paralyzed with a devastating spinal cord injury ever has done: He can stand up from his wheelchair when he wants to.
"Being able to stand for first time was both emotional and exciting. After years of seeing no gains or recovered function, I was able to see my hard work pay off. It was as rewarding as anything I have ever done in my life," Summers said at a news teleconference.
He does it with the help of a pacemaker-like device that sends a gentle electric current through 16 electrodes implanted in his spine. The device doesn't make his muscles move -- he does. This "epidural stimulation" excites the neurons in his spine, allowing them to receive and react to sensory information from his legs.
These results are being hailed as "unprecedented in spinal cord injury medicine," a "breakthrough," and as "going to make a major impact" by spine-injury experts not directly linked to the study by Susan Harkema, PhD, of the University of Louisville, Ky., and colleagues.
"What we have found here is a new set of mechanisms that have never been taken advantage of in a therapeutic way," Harkema said at a news conference held to announce the findings. "It opens a whole new set of possibilities for patients, not just those recently injured but those who have been injured for months and years."
Hard Work Leads to Success
The breakthrough did not happen overnight. It's the result of more than 30 years of animal research by a number of scientists. Prominent among them is Harkema's mentor and study partner, University of California, Los Angeles researcher V. Reggie Edgerton, PhD.
"When Rob regained voluntary control of his leg, I was afraid to believe it when I saw it," Edgerton said at the news conference. "What nobody has ever demonstrated is that epidural stimulation at modest levels enables an individual to have conscious control of body motion. Someone with paralysis for several years can now control his movement. This has never been done before."

Washington, D.C.—Rep. Dan Boren (D-Okla.) voted against a House measure yesterday that would have cut subsidies for the largest oil companies, which would have saved taxpayers an estimated $53 million. The vote came as part of the "continuing resolution" debate aimed at averting a government shutdown as Congress and the White House negotiate the federal budget.
Rep. Boren drew immediate criticism for his vote from two public interest organizations, Public Campaign Action Fund and the League of Conservation Voters, who noted that he has received at least $636,200 in campaign cash from oil and gas industry employees and political action committees during his time in Congress, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
"A lot of people are talking about shared sacrifice in this time of debts and deficits, but Big Oil's campaign cash apparently makes them exempt," said David Donnelly, national campaigns director for Public Campaign Action Fund. "Rep. Boren needs to explain why he stood by the wasteful oil subsidies after taking over $600,000 in campaign cash from the industry."
"With Americans reeling from high gas prices, Rep. Boren voted to help Big Oil continue to pocket our money beyond the pump--supporting billions of dollars in unnecessary taxpayer handouts," said Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters. "Big Oil keeps ripping off the American people, and Rep. Boren just helped put more money back in their pockets."
On Tuesday, House Democrats submitted a "Motion to Recommit" as part of the voting process on the continuing resolution for the budget. The motion would have repealed government subsidies to oil companies for just the two weeks covered by the short-term budget, saving taxpayers an estimated $53 million. An outright repeal of the subsidies would save an estimated $43 billion over the next ten years. The measure failed by on a 249 to 176 vote. Every Republican and 13 Democrats, including Rep. Boren, voted against the motion.
In the last election cycle alone, Rep. Boren received $210,500 from the industry. In 2010, the oil and gas industry spent more than $146 million on lobbying Congress and gave $19 million in campaign contributions to federal candidates, political parties and PACs.

KILLEEN (October 26, 2012)--A Copperas Cove Independent School District bus and a motorcycle collided early Tuesday at a busy intersection in Killeen, but reports indicate no one was seriously injured.
The accident happened just after 7 a.m. Friday at Stan Schlueter Loop and Shawn Drive.
A spokeswoman for Killeen police said the motorcycle rider was taken by ambulance to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The school bus, which carried only two special needs students, was westbound on Stan Schlueter and the motorcycle was eastbound when the two collided.
Both children on the bus were wearing seat belts and neither was injured, the spokeswoman said.
Traffic was slowed briefly on northbound Stan Schlueter, but had returned to normal flow within half-an-hour.

An undercover investigation in Florida plays out like a scene from the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
A parking lot owner apparently likes to take customers' cars for a spin.. and then some.
Jeff Deal reports.
Zero to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. It is one hot car, fire red with a 430-horsepower v-8 engine. A $60,000 2012 corvette, the kind of car anyone would love to take for a spin. And it's the kind of car you hate to leave in someone else's hands, but sometimes, that's what people do.
Especially cruise passengers looking to set sail on vacation. Lots like premier parking spot in cocoa offer to watch your car while you're on vacation, then shuttle you to the port in style. But eyewitness news got a tip the owner of premier parking spot Jay Nieves, was known to take customer's keys, then take their cars for a ride.
To investigate we rented the flashy convertible corvette and equipped it with a G-P-S tracking device.
Then we sent a husband and wife in the sports car headed for vacation to drop the car off at premier just to see what would happen. But sure enough, the temptation was too much.
Just six hours later, with the couple long gone, the G-P-S tracking device sent us a text message alerting the car was in motion.
That's when we captured this video of Nieves and another employee joyriding in our car. Peeling out on dirt roads. We saw them taking pictures of the corvette in front of Nieves' home.
Later that night cruising on Merritt island, and eventually parking it at an Applebee's restaurant.
Our computer G-P-S system showed Nieves even parked it at his home overnight. Two days later, we watched him drive it all over town running errands.
He went to ace hardware. This is Nieves walking from the store to the car with a friend.
Later, he loaded it up with lumber at his home, and even allowed a dog to run around in the customer's car.
Finally, when he left it in a parking lot near his business with the top down and door open for more than 20 minutes, we'd seen enough.
(reporter: "Which car are you guys driving today? Do you think it's okay to drive customers' cars?")
His female employee didn't say much. And when we confronted Nieves, he played dumb.
(reporter: "Whose car are you guys driving out there?")
"Whose car are we driving?"
(reporter: "Yeah, the red Corvette. What's that?")
"We're not driving anybody's car. Why?"
(reporter: "You guys are driving that car all over town.")
"What are you talking about?"
Even though we had all this video.
(reporter: "Let me show you something. Let me show you this video. You recognize this road right here? You recognize those people right there in that car?")
"No, we're not driving anybody's car."
Jay Nieves flat out lied and denied he ever took a joy ride in a customer's car.
(reporter: "You're going to say you weren't driving the car? Tell me the truth. Be honest with me.")
"Sir, you're completely wrong."
The G-P-S installed in the car showed that the Corvette had been driven 61 miles after being dropped off at Premier Parking Spot.
A tipster suggested that this same behavior had gone on with other customers' vehicles over the past couple of months.
It now appears the lot has been shut down.

Behind the Delta
Designed by you.
If you hang around here much, you probably already know that we sweat every detail. And when you're a tiny company launching a product like this, you are talking about a lot of sweat. The product itself is, of course, at the heart of it. We set the bar very high for ourselves. We wanted to make a statement about where we are headed as a company while remaining firmly rooted in our past; all the while keeping you, our customer's needs, firmly in mind. The final verdict is, of course, yours, but I think we did pretty well.
Visually speaking, the Delta bears a strong family resemblance to the KOR ONE, but I think you'll admit that it's got a personality all its own. I like to think of it as as the KOR ONE's eager younger brother. Functionally speaking, the Delta is both more and less. More because it has some new features, such as the removable cap mechanism which makes it easier to clean and fill. Less because we reduced the thickness of the walls, thus reducing size, weight and environmental impact. And of course, it comes in a smaller size.
In the end, the Delta would not have been possible without you, our customers. You helped our company survive and grow to the point where an undertaking like this became feasible. You rooted us on when we were feeling low. You passionately shared your ideas about what you wanted to see next from us. So, now we hand the baton over to you. The Delta has left the nest and we can't wait to see it take flight in your hands.

When in history do we first have record of steel being used as a material? I am also interested in both its initial purpose and when it was first used in weapon making.
closed as not a real question by Shog9♦ Nov 4 '11 at 19:28

According to wikipedia:
According to wikipedia, Steel has been around since antiquity, but reference to steel weapons can be found in 4th century BC Ibernia, Romans, and in Chinese references during their Warring States era.
The steel that we think of today was originally made East Africa by the Haya people over two eons ago, but wouldn't be rediscovered until the Industrial revolution. Before then, what we think of that makes the weapons and buildings that we see didn't' really exist.

Hopefully some of those hunts will be with you
That's a nice first .22 springer there. Congrats on making a good choice! After you get used to shooting it, you'll most likely want to replace that fixed 4x32 scope that it comes with, with a 3-9x40 Adjustable Objective scope. CenterPoint Optics makes one and you can pick them up at your local Wally World for around $50 or so dollars. They are built for the double recoil of spring air rifles and they come with the Weaver mounts included. I have a 3-9x40AO CenterPoint Optics scope on my Trail NP XL 1100 and it works well enough for that gun. It's helped me take out my first 5 ground squirrels when I started into air guns. Another reason you'll want to switch out the scope is that the 4x32 scopes rarelyl have mildots on them and you'll want a mildot scope for those farther out shots due to the air rifles curvey trajectory. You'll have to post some photos once you get it and especially post your hunts for us to see!

Like everyone has mentioned, never dry fire a spring/nitro-piston air rifle. You will wreck your gun real quick by doing that. Mackeralboy brought out an excellent point in making sure to use Loctite 242 on all of the screws for the scope mount, rings, and main fasteners for keep the action in the stock. I've done that on both my Gamo Whisper and Benji Trail NP XL. It really helps hold those fasterners in there tight while that air rifle does the double recoil mambo. They are also right about purchasing some cheap pellets to shoot through it to break it in. However (and this is just something I tend to do), if you want to break it in faster, one thing you can do is to get some J & B Bore Paste, a .22 caliber Nylon cleaning brush (I specify Nylon because you never want to run a metal cleaning brush down an air rifle barrel, you'll screw it up really fast that way and have an expensive piece of junk on your hands ) and the cleaning rod to attach the cleaning brush to. Also get some cleaning patches, jag or loop and Hoppes #9. Then do the following:1. Coat the nylon brush with the bore paste and from the breech end, push the brush up and down the barrel about 15 to 20 times (up and down strokes). What this does is polish out the interior of the barrel, helps to smooth out any of the burrs or other imperfections that might be in the barrel, and cleans a bunch of the factory gunk that is left in the barrel from manufacturing. 2. Then use a cleaning patch with some Hoppes #9 on a loop attachement on the cleaning rod and push it through. Only do that once (always start fromt he breech end of the barrel and don't pull it back through). 3. Then keep running clean patches down the barrel until they finally come out clean. After that your barrel should be sparkling clean and it saves you at least 250 to 1000 pellets. I did this to my Benjamin Trail NP XL 1100 and it not only broke it in faster, but it is more accurate now and the CPHP's I shoot out of it average about 930 FPS. The above steps are not necessary, but it does really help (IMHO).
Thanks everyone for the advice.One more question (for the time being):Would it help break in the rifle if I dry shot it, or are you not supposed to dry fire air rifles?
Posted 06 January 2013 - 10:29 AM
Thanks again for all you guzy's help!!!!
Posted 07 January 2013 - 12:30 PM
bbarnhouse, Welcome to the CPC Forum.
It typically takes around 250 to 500 pellets to be shot through the air rifle before the parts start to wear a little and function a little more smoothly. I would figure shooting a whole 500 count tin of Crosman Premier Hollow Points through your rifle before actually attempting to sight the air rifle in. The loudness of the rifle should lower a little after 3 to 5 shots are fired out of the rifle. Sometimes there are residual oils from the manufacturing process still in the chamber and barrel and this will cause the air rifle to fire louder and faster than it will after these lubricants burn off.
For the J&B Bore Paste, I know you can purchase it from Pyramyd Air dot com for sure, along with any other airgun items you might need or want. Make sure if you use a bore brush that it is a nylon bore brush. For the most part, using a small amount of Hoppes #9 and a cleaning patch for a couple of passes down the barrel and then consecutive dry cleaning patches until they come out pretty clean will suffice when cleaning your barrel.
Please be sure to not get any grease or oil down into the chamber or barrel as it can ignite when fired and will end up either in an injury or your air rifle being ruined. Be safe and have fun.

As far as having a bipod on a break-barrel air rifle... I don't think that is such a great idea. The double recoil of the spring or nitro-piston will wreck havoc on your accuracy (that is my experience though, others may have some information too). I would stick to either resting it on your hand/palm or on shooting bags.

After trying the most simple set-up you described, a Nautilus file share, on my Linux Mint 10 (8-yr-old HP Pavilion) Notebook PC I was still frustrated for a couple of hours with a second Windows Vista laptop on the same home network both behind a router to the Internet as only the Mint shared directory showed up on the Windows machine; but, of the shared directory on the Windows machine, not a sign on the Linux Mint 10 box. After trying umpteen things in vain to fix it which I can no longer recall in detail I went back to your original instructions and tried this gem when I recalled the Nautilus share wizard had never asked me for the workgroup name:
(2) There is a bug in the nautilus-share package as of this writing that does not change the username and groupname to your name and group for any file that a remote user adds to your share. This makes it impossible for you to write to that file. Here is a workaround: add the following line to the [global] section of etc/samba/smb.conf :
force user = whatever_your_mint_user_name_is
So, as you said, I opened etc/samba/smb.conf in gedit and added this line all on its own at the very end of the Global section and saved it:
Code: Select all
force user = mylinuxmint10username
(I inserted this username line without any leading semi-colon)
Voilá, by miracle, Linux Mint 10 now shows the second Windows Vista machine and I can read and write to its directory.
Bless you, good sir!

I find myself spending a fair amount of time in my workshop as a result of some newly acquired hobbies (painting an building things), and a seemingly equal amount of time in the kitchen as a result of long-held necessities (preparing and eating food). And as I don't like having paint-covered hands for cooking, raw-food covered hands for eating, or food-covered hands for working, I find myself spending a large amount of time washing and drying my hands.
In my quest to become more efficient, I'm trying to eliminate an obnoxious time sink: hand drying. Wet hands are an obvious no-go (chapped skin), and towels are either unsanitary (used) or incredibly wasteful (disposable). That leaves hand dryers, and though I'm pretty happy with the one I've bought (TOTO Clean Dry), it leaves me thinking that there has to be a faster way. Especially after learning about the Leidenfrost effect.
How should I go about creating or modifying a hand dryer to provide an intense burst of heat during the initial drying stages? I've experimented with foot-controlled 0.5 to 1.5 second propane bursts with some success, but it did singe a few hairs on my arm… and I'd hate to catch my sleeves on fire.
Are there faster ways to dry my hands than by using a high-pressure air dryer (like mine, Dyson Blade, etc)?

(Dothan, AL)--U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions recently co-sponsored legislation to help protect the rights of family farmers. He attended a USDA Agriculture Forum in Geneva County on Wednesday to talk with farmers about their current agriculture concerns.
"We have more farmer markets, we have people wanting to buy fresh produce, and that's a good thing for our local economy," Sessions said. "That's why it's necessary to address their concerns and get their take on current proposals," he said.
Alabama's immigration law, rising gas prices, and drought-like conditions all things Sessions said he'll be considering when it comes to the farm bill for this year.
"It's causing some tension within congress and with southern agriculture as far as businesses are concerned<" Sessions said."I think its' been very difficult for many farmers to have the government intervene in the normal course of farming."
Sessions said if Alabama farmers are to be successful, then changes will have to be made to the immigration law at the federal level.
"We need to create a program that's limited but actually can help provide labor at critical points in time," Sessions said.
Senator sessions recommends that each state develop a temporary work-release program, as well as set clear laws to obtain permanent citizenship.

Learn side-by-side with Ghanaian students at one of West Africa's leading institutions
NYU Accra offers several courses focusing on urban issues including Global Connections: Accra, taught by the city's former mayor.
Students volunteer with nonprofits NGOs, schools, hospitals, and other meaningful organization and in some cases may earn credit toward their undergraduate degree.
As the first African nation to free itself from colonial rule, Ghana has long been considered the gateway to West Africa and enjoys a promising future. Located in Accra, Ghana's vibrant capital city and among the most intellectually and culturally vibrant cities on the continent, NYU Accra takes advantage of programs and facilities at one of the prominent higher educational institutions in West Africa: The University of Ghana-Legon. Students may enroll in up to two courses at the University of Ghana-Legon, complimenting multidisciplinary courses offered at NYU's own academic and research facility in Accra. The curriculum, which includes more than a dozen areas of study, fosters academic and personal growth by using the city as a classroom. Students will have further opportunity for cultural engagement through a host of internship and volunteer opportunities. Through your academic courses and extracurricular activities, you will experience the artifacts of a history that has transformed both Africa and the New World.
Built within a framework of science, the art of healing is essential to health and medicine. In Fall 2013, NYU Accra hosted a symposium that focused on the concept of the healing environment, and has published a collection of abstracts from from the event. (PDF)

For example if you check out the latest demo (http://www.eirik.net/Ext/ux/window/Notification.html) there is a button that says "BR - reuse". This shows the reuse of the component and the dom. A nice side effect in the example is that this automatically restricts the number of notifications to only one.
And the script actually does not call hide() more than once. From inside the overridden destroy() function. The reason for this is to make sure the notification fades out with an animation not only when the script closes it after the delay (autoClose), but also when the close button in the top right hand corner is clicked. There might be a way of achieving this without touching the destroy() function, but I felt it made sense to always hide the notification with the animation before it is destroyed.
After the hide animation is finished a new call is made to destroy() and the second time around a call is made to me.callParent(arguments) inside destroy(). So I am under the impression that this means all other destruction that windows normally perform will take place. The dom certainly is destroyed and I figured that was mostly what the destroy() functions did in Ext (take down the related dom). If there is a memory leak caused by the overriding of the destroy() function, then maybe that is because something else, like a pointer or circualar reference, should also be destroyed before exiting the overridden destroy() function. But since hide() calls removeFromManager(), then I can't imagine where those pointers are.
When it comes to memory management I'm on thin ice. Both JS and Ext wise. So maybe somebody could help out with some more insight? Or simply tell me a procedure I could use to test/visualize the leak, providing me a way to debug it.

Great extension. I apologize if this was noted already, but how do I make a notification stick until it's manually closed or I close it programatically?

Stop notifications from stacking up
Is there a way to either reuse or prevent multiple notifications appearing (that are the same)?
18 Feb 2013 5:50 AM #98
In short you store the pointer to the notification when you create it. This can be done in advance as long as you don't call the show() immediately. And then you only call update/show every time you want to notify something. If the notification is still visible when the next updtae/show is called then all that happens is an update of the notification's content.

in 4.2 fails to destroy the component.
so it works again:
hide: function () { var me = this; // Avoids restarting the last animation on an element already underway with its hide animation if (!me.isHiding && me.el) { me.isHiding = true; me.cancelAutoClose(); me.stopAnimation(); me.el.animate({ to: { opacity: 0 }, easing: 'easeIn', duration: me.hideDuration, dynamic: false, listeners: { afteranimate: function () { me.removeFromManager(); me.readyToHide = true; if(!me.destroying){ me.hide(me.animateTarget, me.doClose, me);} } } }); } ...

At System → Administration → Language support → Text. I can only choose standard locales, but I would like to fine-tune. For example in Windows I could customise things like time and date format, measure units, decimal separator, currency, etc manually - how can I do this in Ubuntu?
This answer will demonstrate how to fully customize a locale, optionally using an existing locale as a base. The type of locale that will be used in this answer is the
Find a guide
The first thing you need to customize a locale, is get to know the format of the locale. This web locale editor has a comprehensive description of every field in a locale, despite not being usable by just anyone in a right-away manner. This will be the guide to use.
Needed tools
The only tools you need to work with locales are
I recommend you to create a directory and save everything related with the work you will do on the locale to it.
Text-to-unicode converter (encodestr)
NOTE: if you are using non-common characters you may have problems with the script I write below; you might want to take a look at the alternative scripts linked by nass.
Save the following code to a file. This file will be identified by your system as a python script, which is alright because it is one. This guide assumes you called the script
After you have saved it, give the file execution permission - this will come in handy. You can do that using nautilus, or by running from a terminal the following command, on the directory in which you saved the script:
You can now test this script by running on the same directory:
Modify an existing locale
Modifying an existing locale is the easiest case, as ideally you will pick a locale that fits your needs almost totally, in which case you need to make only small modifications. To tailor it, you can use the guide to know which of the sections are the ones you want to change, and how you can change them. All the installed locales reside in
However, the first thing you will notice when you open a locale is that you will read english words as much as weird
When you know which sections you have to change, you need to know each field contained in the section.
Now that you know which fields to modify, use the guide again to find out what values does the field accept.
Just when you know what to write on the fields you want to modify, run the text through the
NOTE: Not every field needs to be encoded, use an existing locale as a reference if needed.
After you have modified every field you wanted to, you will need to proceed to install the locale to the system, so it can be used. Proceed to the installation section for this.
Creating a locale from scratch
As opposed to modifying one, the other method you can use to create your custom locale is working on it from scratch. This is not very difficult if - again - you use the guide. Here's a useful tip though: you can copy sections from other locales without actual copy and paste methods. You just have to follow this format:
Installing your custom locale
The steps I am going to show below may not be optimal, but work.
NOTE: If you want to use one locale for every locale setting, write
You have finished
The next time you log in, your locale should be in use. You can test this by running the
Please comment about inconsistencies or false statements in this guide!
Not sure what kind of customization you want, but you can set some locale variables using your
Generating custom locales is also possible. See e.g. this guide for dates.

Given that the electrical force is so much stronger than gravitational force at atomic levels, why is it that it's the gravitational force between you and the earth that keeps you on the ground rather than the electrical force between you and the earth?
Because there's no negative gravitational mass. Electric charge can be neutralized, gravitational attraction not.
Actually, if you were at rest on the ground, the van der Waals repulsion between the atoms of the soles of your feet and the atoms of the ground — which is electrical in origin — exactly cancels the gravitational force between your entire body and the entire mass of the Earth.
Imagine that!
And the van der Waals force isn't even a direct Coulomb force between two simple charges, but a much weaker indirect electrical repulsion between neutral atoms due to a deformation of the electron clouds. I know you might argue the repulsive van der Waals force is actually due to the Pauli exclusion principle, and that is also true. After fixing the positions of the nuclei, the physical ground state — which is given by a totally antisymmetric electron wavefunction — has a higher energy than some unphysical electron wavefunctions which aren't totally antisymmetric. But if we restrict ourselves to the physical wavefunction, the immediate repulsive force can still be traced back to electrostatics.
I assume we are not supposed to give direct answers to homework questions. If I'm wrong I'll be happy to edit this.
Mohabitar, to answer this you should consider what properties of an object cause electrical forces to be exerted on it. Do you posses these properties under normal circumstances? What about the same question as applied to gravitational force?
You write "rather than the electrical force between you and the earth". There is no electrical force between you and the earth because neither of you is charged! But you and the earth do both have mass so gravity acts but electricity doesn't.
"that the electrical force is so much stronger than gravitational force at atomic levels'" is only true between two charged particles of say the mass of a proton and the charge of a proton.

The Crime Rockers, a rock 'n' roll band made up completely of Bowling Green Police Officers, is losing one of it's members.
Det. Tim Wilson will be retired as of Friday, and the spot needs to be filled.
Wilson and the rest of the Crime Rockers performed for the kids at McNeill Elementary in Bowling Green today.
He says he's looking forward to what lies ahead.
"There's mixed emotions because when you reach the end of that 20 years it's time to start a new chapter in your life unfortunately when you start a new chapter you've got to leave some things behind," Det. Wilson says.

Bottle Feeding 101: Everything You Need to Know
In This Article:
Your baby will most likely go from taking 1 to 3 ounces of formula or breast milk at a time during her first few days of life to taking 6 to 8 ounces per feeding by age six months. Here's a rough guide to how much and how often to formula feed.
Every baby is different and experiences growth spurts and lulls — and therefore slight variations in hunger levels — at different points in the first six months. But, in general, you should see a gradual progression in the amount your baby eats and the time she can go between feedings. When your baby hits about 12 pounds (usually between 2 and 4 months of age), she should be able to take enough food that she finally sleeps longer through the night (phew!). Your baby's pediatrician will assess her growth at each exam and offer guidance on feedings and sleep patterns if you have any questions or concerns.
The AAP notes that it's rare for a baby to need more than 7 or 8 ounces per feeding or 36 ounces per day, so if your baby seems to be looking for more after sucking down a 7-ounce meal, talk with your pediatrician. Some babies are just sucking for comfort, so it might be wise to switch to a pacifier. Overfeeding puts babies at risk for obesity and frequent spit-up.

My computer is set up to require a login after its been put to sleep and it has a fairly complex password, so I'm not worried about anyone guessing it. The MacBook was stolen, and I'm wondering if there's a way for that person to access my files, or will they just have to wipe the drive (hopefully).
I'm sorry your MacBook was stolen. That really sucks.
Sadly, there are numerous ways to read the data ranging from removing the drive or placing the Mac in target mode. Your password only protects things when the mac is booted into your unmodified OS.
To answer your question, Physical access is total access.
It would be trivial for someone to boot using a Linux LiveCD and mount your drive, thus accessing your files. All they'd have to do to get past your sleep/password would be to hard power down the system.
Additionally, from the link above:
As Kalamane's answer points out, unfortunately the thief can access your data very easily, as it sits on your disk unencrypted. It is unfortunately trivial to bypass OS X passwords by booting into single user mode.
It won't help now, but for the future, here are two tips that can help in case of laptop theft.
First of all, if you're like me and carry your laptop almost everywhere (so the likelihood of it getting stolen/lost is relatively high), seriously consider Apple's FileVault 2. FileVault 2 encrypts your entire hard-drive, seamlessly. This means that you can still use your computer as normal (you won't even notice that FileVault is on), but in case it gets stolen, the attacker won't be able to read anything from the hard-drive without knowing your password.
Secondly, enable the "Find My Mac" feature available in OS X Lion (go to Preferences - iCloud - Find My Mac). In case your laptop gets stolen, you will then be able to login to icloud.com from any computer, and see the last location where your MacBook has been on a map. You will also get the following interface, which you can use to remotely display a message on your Mac, wipe the Mac completely, or lock it:

An in-development game(Starbound) recently released a demo of their water physics. At about 39 seconds into the video, a volume of water in a container is released when the cap on the container is destroyed.
Then the water expands to about 10 times its initial volume in 3 seconds or so.
What would actually happen here? I imagine that compressing water to 1/10th its volume at STP would take an obscene amount of pressure, but I'm not sure about what would actually happen with this rapid decompression.
Would the water freeze from the drop in temperature as it expanded? How fast would the decompression actually take? Is the entire question moot because the pressures involved are too high?

I tried to experiment today with turning the vertical arm of the NN3 90 degrees so that I could use the whole setup to position my camera 8 or 9 inches from the tripod center. It wouldn't be the most stable setup, but in a pinch it might be useful when a horizontal tripod column isn't available. The only problem is the foot for the vertical arm isn't square, so it doesn't fit in the lower arm sideways. It'd only take about 1/8" to make it square, though. There's a little bit of material on the outer lip of the foot, and being the outer lip I wonder if it couldn't be removed without affecting the stability. Thoughts?
Also, mine is the NN3 mk 1. Was there any significant change to the mk 2 other than the rotator and the rail stops? If my goal is to have the RD3 or RD16 as my rotator is there is any remaining benefit to upgrading to the mk 2.

RICHBURG – Four Lancaster County high school football players were honored at the weekly meeting of the Founders Federal Tri-County Football Coaches Association on Tuesday afternoon.
Lancaster High School players Kaderrious Jackson and Quinshun Evans were saluted for their play, along with Indian Land High School's Curtis Groll and Jimmy Locklear.
Jackson, the LHS senior quarterback, was named the Division I Offensive Player of the Week for his play in the Bruins' home loss to Rock Hill at Memorial Stadium.
LHS at South Pointe
From Lancaster, take U.S. 521 North to S.C. 5 West just below Andrew Jackson State Park. Follow S.C. 5 West into Rock Hill to U.S. 21. Turn left and follow to State Road 250 and turn right.

I just dinged 69, and I've only quested in three of the Outlands zones. Should I keep questing in Outland, or should I move on to Northrend?
If you have never leveled through the Outland content before it is certainly worth your time if you have an interest in the lore.
Also if you get a lot of this content and levels before going to Northrend, then when you get to to Northrend you will reach level 80 faster. And then when you're 80 you will still have a lot of quests in Northrend to left to do and doing all all of them at maximum level turns into cold hard cash.
That depends on what you really want. If you want to get to 80 fast and experience the WotLK content, go to Northrend. If you would like to get the most of the game however, definetly stay in Outland.
Another thing is - are you on a PvP server? If so, you might consider staying in Outland for a while as people leveling in Northrend (and being level 71+) will definitely want to gank you a bit ;) And if you are a PvP player you will probably want to be 80 asap, since then you will be able to fight in the Arenas. If you enjoy PvE more, try the Outland dungeons too, they are nice (i liked them even more than those in Northrend, especially Coilfang Reservoir dungeons).
Personally I would (and did) go to Northrend.
I found the levelling experience to much quicker - more XP from mobs and quests, plus quests are in definite "hubs", making it quicker to pickup and hand-in quests.
On my Paladin I made sure to complete all the quests in both WOTLK starting zones. This put me to ~73/74 from 68, without too much effort. It was also a great way to pickup rep, gear, and gold!
Later Outland questing content is filled with "Elite" quests, especially Shadowmoon. I wouldn't waste much time in outlands, just do some easy quests and then get ready for Northrend
If you want to see the content, staying in Outlands is nice, but questing experience has improved a lot in WOTKL and the gold/XP reward will be higher too. It's cheaper to fly in Outlands too (and impossible to do in Northrend unless you are level 77 or have an 80 and 1000gp). Flying makes questing faster and less prone to be ganked by mobs or players when applicable.
I'd go to northrend. But that's because I've done all the outland quests at least on two different chars. Some up to 10 times ! :)
i shorted myself and basically did the leveling from 70-80 via battleground XP (before it got nerfed, Alterac Valley was a cavalcade of XP). if you're looking to get Raid Ready and see ICC before Cataclysm comes out (and Raiding moves on to the next big thing), I would recommend a) queueing for whichever BG seems to net you the most XP, b) running your daily RDFs, and c) questing in Northrend so you can also get your professions up to snuff. sure, you'll miss out on the lore and story. personally, going back and overpowering it is still satisfying and the money from quests is just as good.
Northrend if you're level 69. You will level a lot faster. Bigger XP for the trash mobs. and the quests are more plentiful.
It depends on your objective. You want to get to 80 in a hurry. Then start in Northrend. You'll get larger XP rewards for quests. If you just want to take your time with the Lore/Legend, Then keep complete Outlands.

How long does it typically take for orders to ship?
4 Answers answer
from woot: usually within 5 business days.
if you ordered something via a link on deals.woot, you'll have to check the policy of the place you ordered from.
Note: I am not a woot employee, nor do I play one on tv.
Less than 24 hours. Oh......you were talking about here? Bwaaaahaaaahaaaa.
As mentioned above, it can take up to 5 business days for processing and shipping although it's often faster. Unless you ordered from wine.woot - that can take 2-3 weeks.
If you have any questions, you can email email@example.com.
I've ordered from woot a few times, and always takes about a week. I usually get the email saying it's shipped/tracking number on the day it arrives.

What I'd like to see at SenchaCon 2013
I've given this some thought. I'd like to see how Sencha put together their massive CSS files. Which tools were used and what methodologies were followed. I'm not terribly interested in specific cross-browser techniques or Sencha Cmd although both are relevant. I'm interested in how you tackled and organized such a task and what patterns you followed in the creation of the style sheets. I would imagine that intermediate knowledge of CSS would be required to attend.
I think your expertise in this area would definitely help your customers craft an approach towards the development of their web apps. It's not necessarily Sencha product specific but it would be invaluable.

Doug, this is a great idea for a thread. Just as a kind of spoiler: You might want to check out Compass and Sass and Sencha's recent Webinar about theming Sencha apps.

Is there going to be anything related to GXT at SenchaCon at all?
10 Jun 2013 3:25 PM #4
GXT definitely appears to have been snubed. Is GXT developement at Sencha halted? Is there a next release in the works? I was hoping to get access to the ExtJS4.x table features some day in GXT. Is there a roadmap for GXT anywhere?

Yep got my wondering too.
Not even a word on GXT at Sencha Con.
This is on the reason we decided to wrap Ext JS with GWT instead of using GXT.
Great tool but the GXT team is just too silent imho.

Official answer from http://senchacon.com/about/faq/ :
"Will there be GXT sessions at SenchaCon?
We're committed to ensuring the GXT attendees have a practical and productive experience, with direct access to the team for the latest product information, roadmap discussions, and technical guidance. We will have our GXT technical team at SenchaCon in full force, and they will be staffing a space dedicated to GWT/GXT for discussions, tech demos, and Q & A. We will also have the SenchaCon unconference sessions to discuss GXT topics nominated by the GXT community."
GXT is certainly still going with 2.3.0 and 3.0.5 released in the last several weeks, and 3.1 planned for later this year. As you can see above, we will have developers there, but won't be having giving traditional talks. Both Darrell and I are listed as speakers at http://senchacon.com/speakers/ - we'll have our own space to demo and chat, and the floor will be open to any topics that come up. I've got several mini-talks prepared, and we'll be happy to show off and discuss any current or roadmap'd features that you'd be interested in.
The roadmap for 3.1 officially includes the return of ARIA support from 2.x (now that GWT has a new ARIA library built in that we'll be taking advantage of), a theme builder tool along with more powerful appearances, as well any any fixes that we've been holding on to that require API-breaking changes, so can't properly land in 3.0. We also are rebooting the documentation for GXT, and while we'll have the complete job done by the 3.1 release, you can see the work already out there at http://docs.sencha.com/gxt-guides/3/.

Thank you very much for this response. It does make me a feel a bit better. Can you say if the Infinite Grid in ExtJS 4.X is on the roadmap., or am I going to be stuck with paging forever? I guess my request would be for GXT to wrap all of the ExtJS 4.X widgets. Theme builder would be very valuable. Basically, for me, I went from using ExtJS 4.X to using GXT at a new company. I miss everything and anything that was in ExtJS but is not on GXT. The grid is at the top of the list though.

Many people don't realize this, but GXT doesn't wrap Ext JS at all - and this is very deliberate. By writing (almost) all of our code in Java, we're giving the compiler much more information to work with, so that if you don't use a feature in a class, it knows enough to compile as much of it out as possible. We share ideas back and forth between the teams, enabling us each to take advantage of the browser workarounds or html structures that the other has developed, but each team builds their library to be as specific to their community as possible. The only code in GXT that is directly borrowed from Ext JS has to do with finding elements quickly in the dom - this is in the Ext.java class.
GXT has supported a live grid (which is what I think you are talking about when you say infinite Grid) since just after I started using GXT as a user, about 4 years ago - check out http://www.sencha.com/examples/#ExamplePlace:livegrid which uses the LiveGridView and a PagingLoader to pull in items as needed. If you happen to be using GXT 2, the classes are named the same, and the example is online at http://www.sencha.com/examples-2/#livegrid.

6 Tips to Avoid Ticks
5 of 8
Do a Full Body Check
If you've been in a tick-infested area, do a full body check using a hand-held or full-length mirror to view all parts of your body.
When examining your child, check under the arms, in and around the ears, in the belly button, behind the knees, between the legs, around the waist, and especially in his hair.
