Sencha Cmd and custom Ext.application
It looks like Sencha Cmd can recognize Ext.application and add implicit dependency for Ext.application call. The problem is that we're using a custom namespace and have our own Foo.application call that mimics the Ext.application function. Is it possible to tell Sencha Cmd that a particular function is equivalent to Ext.application?
This is for Sench Cmd 3.0.0-181 on windows. Thanks.

We have a fix planned for 4.1.3 that will move the logic from Ext.application to the standard derivation mechanism from Ext.app.Application to resolve some of these issues.
This will enable this to work:
Ext.application({ extend: 'Foo.bar.BasicApp', ... });
I'm afraid this part of the compiler is already pretty complex so we'd really rather find a more OO way to address the problem. Would the above give you a place to perform your value-add?
If not and you want to elaborate on what your wrapper does, maybe we can help find a good solution.Don Griffin

Our code looks something like this. We're using our own namespace and because Ext.application is a function I didn't think the code you provided would work but perhaps I should look into that..
Foo.app.Application does extend Ext.app.Application so would this work in 4.1.3?
Foo.application = function(config) { Ext.require('Foo.app.Application'); // ... some special Foo code here Foo.onReady(function() { Ext.create('Foo.app.Application', config); }); };
3 Oct 2012 1:09 AM #4
The problem is that the compiler needs to understand the object parameter that goes to Ext.application. It does not do data-flow analysis to track that down so it would not understand anything on the "config" object passed to Foo.application (such as "requires", "models", etc).
I'll throw out a few ideas off-hand and you can see if any fit for you...
You could move "// ... some special Foo code here" to either Foo.app.Application constructor or onBeforeLaunch. This makes the value-add part of the derived class entirely and Ext.application would still do the final construction/configuration.
Or you could move things out of the "config" object you pass in to its own class derived from Foo.app.Application. The config object would really then only have the "extend" to name your derived class.
Or you could split the special logic into its own method and call it before Ext.application.
Or you could place the logic in a class extend hook:
Ext.define('Foo.app.Application', { onClassExtended: function(cls, data) { // some special Foo code here } });
Of course, standard cautions apply to doing things before the DOM is ready. Putting the special logic in the constructor or onBeforeLaunch is typically a better choice.
Here's what Ext.application is looking like so far (but not 100% final yet):
Ext.application = function(config) { var App; // Let Ext.define do the hard work but don't assign a class name. // Ext.define(null, Ext.apply({ extend: 'Ext.app.Application' // can be replaced by config! }, config), // call here when the App class gets full defined function () { App = this; }); Ext.onReady(function() { // this won't be called until App has been created and its requires have been // met... Ext.app.Application.instance = new App(); }); };
Anyway, just some thoughts.Don Griffin

Thanks for the various options. We can work around the issue today using //@requires Foo.model.* so the various application files get pulled in. Will look at this again when 4.1.3 is available.
This is sort of off topic but looking at that 4.1.3 snippet wouldn't there be a race condition if there's no require in the application? Wouldn't Ext.onReady fire the callback immediately and there's no guarantee that the line App = this; has been executed already.
5 Oct 2012 4:16 PM #6
The "extend" is a form of "requires" and will request Ext.app.Application (or other class based on config.extend) so the loader will have to fetch Ext.app.Application at a minimum.
Does that address your concern?Don Griffin

Huskies facing No. 1 team
Not so long ago, there wasn't a legitimate reason to believe the UConn men had more than the slightest of chances to make some noise in the Big East. The Huskies slogged through eight-point victories against New Hampshire and Harvard and at times looked as if the postseason ban sapped their motivation.

Stormy conditions bring damage and grassfires across state
Strong winds and lightning storms kept local CFS and SES crews busy, with 30,000 lightning strikes recorded across the state and wind gusts of 60 kilometres per hour experienced in the Mount Lofty Ranges.

SES volunteers responded to a few calls about fallen trees throughout the day, but it was mainly CFS volunteers that were kept busy with fires caused by lightning strikes as the weather system moved easterly.
Residents between Adelaide and Gawler, at Uleybrey, woke to the smell of smoke just after 4:00am this morning from the result of a lightning strike igniting a grass fire that burnt through approximately 100 hectares of farm and grazing land.
The fire burnt through a gully near Kentish Road, with CFS units from Gumeracha, Eden Valley and the Barossa responding to the call and containing the fire at around 7:00am this morning.
Police spoke with residents along Kentish Road, who moved from the path of the fire to the Gawler Scenic Route until the blaze had been contained.
Five fires were also reported in the Yankalilla/Delamere area.
Volunteers attended all scenes, with the colder weather and light rain helping to calm the fires but providing muddy and slippery conditions for crews to navigate.
Several fires were also reported in the state's southeast, near Penola and Naracoorte, with a rotunda in Mount Gambier also destroyed in the windy conditions.
Showers were expected to clear overnight, with winds decreasing, before the showers return on Friday.

I encountered set theory these past couple of days in discrete mathematics, and my professor was talking about the axiom of choice and ZFC. He said that depending on which axiom you started from, you could prove or disprove the Continuum Hypothesis.
Now this really intrigued and distressed me. I thought mathematics was the language that is all proof, all universal truth. How can there be two theorems that lead to two different outcomes? Is one or both of them wrong?

I like typing by keyboard while using iPhone and iPad. But when I switch applications(e.g. between Safari and memo application), I have to the push home putton on the devices'. It is very frustrating. Does anybody know how to switch applications by keyboard like "Windows key + tab" on Windows?
If you are using a MacOS/iOS BT keyboard with the Option and Command (aka clover leaf or open Apple) keys, then this should help you out…
iPad Navigation Keyboard Commands Basic keyboard navigation shortcuts on iPad are as follows:
Control+Option+H – Home button Control+Option+H+H – Show multitask bar Control+Option+i – Item chooser Escape – Back button Right Arrow – next item Left Arrow – previous item Up + Down Arrows simultaneously – tap selected item Option + Down Arrow – scroll down Option + Up Arrow – scroll up Option + Left or Right Arrow – scroll left or right Control+Option+S – turn VoiceOver speech on or off iPad App Switcher Keyboard Commands Arguably the most useful set of commands are related to app switching:
Command+Shift+Tab – switch to the previous app Command+Tab – switch back to the original app Left+Right Arrow, then Option + Left or Option+Right – navigate through Dock
Source: http://osxdaily.com/2012/10/01/ipad-keyboard-navigation-shortcuts/
For iPad, ensure that multitasking gestures are turned on in "Settings > General > Multitasking Gestures". Instructions to switch between applications are right below the button.
In iPhone there is no other way to switch between applications than pushing home button twice and choosing another application.

Polymorph is easy to use and I think anyone with moderate skills can use it to make a molded base.
You all are visualizing a very complicated plate and customizing procedure. It looks a lot simpler to me. What I have suggested is a simple plate with two holes (or one slot and one hole) and a lip at the back.
One hole is for a countersunk machine head screw to screw the plate to the camera using the camera's tripod hole. The other hole is threaded and exactly on the optical center line of the camera -- that's the hard part. Getting the mounting hole on the optical center line. The lip at the back is to align the camera square on the plate. The slot would be exactly perpendicular to the lip at the back.
To use you put a machine screw into the slot. Push the lip of the plate snugly against the back edge of the camera and tighten. Then put the plate on the NNXXX arm and insert the mounting knob and tighten down. It's that simple.
The plate doesn't even need to be painted. The stock for the plate has the countersunk hole or slot and the lip. It's a blank and then for the second hole is drilled and threaded at a precise location so that the optical center line is centered on the NNXXX arm.
You could hire a college student to do them with the proper jigs and a drill press. I could do it myself if I had the tools. I don't have the tools is why I'm asking.
You guys are making it sound like it's a solution to global warming. It's not that complicated.....

By custom plates, I mean plates attached to the camera permanently. They are contoured so that battery door is free to open and close.
We listen. We try harder.
And your description of custom plate is nothing like my idea. I repeat. It's a simple plate with two holes or a slot and a hole and a lip at the back. Think simpler.
The major cost of making custom plate are
1. cost of a camera
2. time to work out the critical dimensions
3. inventory and risk of non-selling inventory.
No matter how simple is the design, I can't reduce these major cost. So if I were to make custom plates, I will make it as good as possible and sell them for good prices.
We listen. We try harder.
Here is a question I received from a customer can someone help me with an answer?
"Q: can you please give me some information: - i use a 5D Mk II with an external battery grip (not original). - the mounting scre on this battery grip is not centered with the optical axis of the lens (like on smaller cams). Questions: 1) is your offered t-30 adaptor strong enough to handle the weight of a Canon 5D II-camera with lenses (800g for body plus 300g for battery grip plus about 1000g for the attached lens? 2) Is it possible to mount on this battery grip? Dimensions (the mounting screw is center): width: right 3,2" (8 cm), left 2,6" (6,5cm) from the front: 1,1" (2,8cm) to the back: 1,5" (3,8cm) is this the original adaptor or a copy/rebuild version? If it is possible and you have a battery grip like this, please can you send me a photo to: email@example.com Please let me know! Thanks in advance! "

your client has to be aware, that the lower rail setting will change for the height of the battery grip to the right, which means you should be sure the lower rail is long enough to take the extra height.
There are some guys who use a battery grip to save their battery - less recharging -.
I suppose most of us don't do that. Better take an extra battery in case you need one. To boost the workflow you can use a quick CF card with 90mb/sec. Battery grips give torque on the system, Nikon ones tend to bend out of the vertical.
So I personally do not use a battery grip.

The Leaflet - The Income Tax Rebellion
Earlier this week our friends at the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs (OCPA) graciously hosted me and Heartland's senior fellow for budget and entitlement policy, Peter Ferrara. We went to Oklahoma City to speak about why the state should consider phasing out its income tax. Peter explained that any state could eliminate its income tax in ten years by simply limiting the growth in spending and making the state a more-attractive place for jobs and high-quality workers.
A recent Wall Street Journal editorial points out that the nine states without an income tax have "recorded faster revenue growth to pay for government services over the past two decades than states with income taxes. That's because growth in the economy from attracting jobs and capital has meant greater tax collections."
Oklahoma is not the only state trying to become the first since Alaska (in 1980) to get rid of its income tax; both Missouri and Kansas are considering proposals to do the same. If even one state can zero out its income tax, we'll likely see momentum and pressure on other states to follow suit.
If you would like a Heartland expert to come to your state to talk about eliminating your state's income tax, please contact me at 312/377-4000 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
This week's edition of The Leaflet features research and commentary addressing single-payer health care, Maryland Internet taxes, flood insurance, Pennsylvania fracking, Florida parent trigger, and Michigan post-pay gas stations.

Lead Story
Research & Commentary: The Dangers of a Single-Payer Health System
A common proposal for remedying the increasing cost of health care in the United States has been the call for a single-payer health care system. In such a system, the financing of both health services and health insurance coverage originates from one single source: the government. Single-payer advocates say all Americans have a natural right to health insurance and that this system would extend coverage and quality health care to all.
Pointing to the experiences of nations that have tried it, opponents say single-payer does not result in better health care. Instead, access to health care diminishes under single-payer systems, and the overall quality of care suffers. Single-payer systems cause shortages of general physicians and specialists and reduce access to medical technology. As an example, Heartland Institute Senior Fellow Peter Ferrara has noted only one-quarter of women in the United States diagnosed with breast cancer die of it, whereas the corresponding death rates are 35 percent in France and 46 percent in Britain, two nations with single-payer health-care systems.
Single-payer systems are notorious for long waiting lines and limited access to care. Grace-Marie Turner of the Galen Institute notes, "Forty percent of the population in Canada does not have a general practitioner because there are so few doctors. Even though they have theoretical entitlement [to health care], they can't get it." Such long queues force citizens in single-payer systems to seek care in the United States.
A single-payer system does not benefit patients but instead places them under government discretion while subjecting them to inferior health care. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal observed, "No state or nation should consider implementing a system that individuals from other countries come here to escape from."
What We're Working On
Maryland Governor Calls for Sweeping New Internet Taxes
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley's (D) 2012 budget would impose taxes on digitally delivered goods and services and tax purchases made from out-of-state online retailers that rely on referrals from affiliates.
The proposed budget is in bills introduced in the Maryland Senate and House in January. Under the governor's proposal, digitally delivered goods and services would be subject to the state's general 6 percent sales tax. The proposal would also tax digitally delivered goods and services such as music downloads on iTunes, ringtones, smart-phone applications, and blogs that charge for their services.
Research & Commentary: National Catastrophe 'Backstop' Update
For more than a decade, members of Congress have proposed various bills to establish a federal "backstop," "catastrophe fund," or "guarantee mechanism" for private losses in cases of disaster. Most recently, several members of Congress from California, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), and Rep. John Campbell (R-CA), announced another iteration: federal backing for the privately financed but publicly run California Earthquake Authority (CEA), the state's dominant seller of earthquake insurance. The bill doesn't specify CEA by name, but no other state has an entity that would qualify. In this Commentary, Matthew Glans examines several proposals for a national catastrophe fund and the possible consequences of the addition of earthquake coverage to a national backstop.
Podcast: Fracking Legislation in Pennsylvania
Heartland Senior Fellow James M. Taylor speaks to Katrina Currie of the Pennsylvania-based Commonwealth Foundation on the state's recently passed hydraulic fracturing legislation. The law includes a new tax on natural gas, local zoning restrictions, and corporate welfare programs.
Research & Commentary: Florida Parent Trigger
Florida legislators have proposed an education reform that is garnering significant national attention: the Parent Trigger. The legislation, first passed in California, is currently being drafted in more than a dozen other states. The Florida Parent Trigger would allow a simple majority of parents at a school to "trigger" one of three reform options: close the school and allow the students to transfer to better-performing public schools, convert the school into a charter school, or contract with an outside firm to run the school.
Michigan Gas Stations Introduce Drivers' License Swipes for Cash Purchases
A Saginaw, Michigan business owner says requiring customers to swipe their drivers' licenses when topping off their tanks could stop drive-offs—clients leaving gas stations without paying. Privacy advocates, however, say the new "Post-Pay" method subjects innocent customers to potential identity theft.
The Heartland Institute has been delivering exactly what state legislators need since 1984.

BOSTON – Animal rights activists and a bipartisan group of lawmakers, citing the alleged torture of a dog nicknamed "Puppy Doe" in Quincy, called Thursday for tougher penalties against those convicted of cruelty against animals.
"It's time that we took a serious look at the laws that are intended to protect our animal friends and do what we can in a comprehensive way to prevent those kinds of heinous, brutal acts from occurring in the future," said Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester, the lead sponsor of the so-called PAWS bill, prior to a hearing of the Legislature's Judiciary Committee.
PAWS is short for "Protecting Animal Welfare and Safety."
In addition to calling for stiffer fines and increased prison sentences for animal cruelty, the bill also would create a statewide registry of people who have been convicted of abuse and make the list available for inspection by animal shelters, pet stores and breeders.
The "Puppy Doe" case involved a year-old female dog, part pit bull, that was euthanized after being found barely alive on a playground in Quincy last year. Police said the dog had been beaten and tortured.
The PAWS legislation would impose prison sentences of up to five years along with fines of up to $10,000. The maximum fine currently is $2,500, which is among the lowest in the nation, said Kara Holmquist, an attorney for the Massachusetts Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Repeat offenders would face harsher consequences under the proposal: five to 10 years in prison and fines of up to $20,000. Additionally, cases with aggravating factors, such as the abuse of multiple animals or abuse occurring in the presence of a child, could bring five more years of prison time.

The NCO baseball team, like their softball counterparts last week, struggled with Hardin Co., losing 11-4.
Matt Long got the start at pitcher. He went three innings, allowing six runs on five hits and two walks. He struck out two.
Ben Taylor pitched three innings. He allowed three runs on six hits and a walk with one strikeout. Andy Brinkley pitched an inning as well. He allowed two runs on two hits and struck out two.
The team was led offensively by Cooper Wells going one of two, Taylor going one of three with an RBI, Justin Brock with an RBI and Jaden Barton with an RBI.
"We have to tip our hat to Hardin Co.," said Coach Todd Haley. "They just hit the ball were we weren't. We struggled at the plate to put the ball in play."

Bell County (January 19, 2012)--Gun retailers say their sales in guns, ammunition and accessories have doubled and even tripled in the past month.
News 10 checked with about a dozen gun stores and pawn shops in Bell County, and they all say gun sales have increased dramatically in the past month.
Sales for ammunition, especially the large capacity ones, along with accessories such as cleaning kits and cases have also increased.
Local gun retailers say it's not necessarily the recent shootings, but the gun talk on our nation's capitol that's a major force in the gun sales.
"The current political state, nobody knows what's going to happen, so anybody that thinks in the future they would have wanted some of these guns they're trying to buy them now," said Johnny Frederick, owner of Top Loan Pawn in Killeen.
Frederick said January's normally a slow month for gun sales for his business, but lately, he's seeing something he's never seen in his 27 years of managing a pawn shop.
"On a normal business month, we would sell somewhere between 20 and 40 guns," Frederick said.
"It's probably closer to 50 to 100 guns now with the climate the way it is."
The sales situation is similar for Weber's Guns in Temple.
"We start at 9 o'clock, and it's nonstop until 5:30," said manager Ray Kallus.
"Customers come in looking for all kinds of product."
James Hernandez is one of those customers.
He's taking his brother out to the shooting range for the first time.
"He finally bought his first hand gun, and I want to show him the ropes," Hernandez said.
"I got a cleaning kit that'll work for him and for me."
Hernandez said shopping for guns and accessories has not been easy.
"I'm from San Antonio, and I went through Buda, Austin, even over here pretty much nothing I can find," Hernandez said.
Guns can range from a couple hundred to thousands of dollars.
Frederick said whether you're buying a gun for hunting, collecting or just practicing your Second Amendment rights, safety is key.
"People need to be safe with whatever they buy when it comes to a gun," Frederick said.
"They don't need to buy them just because they don't think they'll be able to; they need to buy them because they want to be safe, and they want to train and work them correctly and know how to use them."
Local gun retailers say they're trying to meet the public's demand as best as they can, but even some gun manufacturers don't have enough in stock.

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, born 1971 and 1976, respectively, in Quimper, France, studied at the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Cergy-Pontoise. Ronan began independent design work immediately after completing his studies, while his brother, who was still in school, assisted him. Since 1999 both brothers have worked together as joint partners in their own design firm. Their work ranges from small utilitarian objects to architectural projects. In addition to the design of domestic and office furniture, vases, porcelain dishware, jewelry and diverse home accessories, a primary focus of their work is the design and organization of interior space. One of their most unconventional designs, Algues (2004), was created in this context. The collaboration between the Bouroullec brothers and Vitra began in 2000 with the office furniture system Joyn, which was developed between 2000-02 and is continually being refined and expanded. Along with Jasper Morrison and Hella Jongerius, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have made major contributions to the steadily growing Vitra Home Collection.

$1.50 w/ free Prime shipping on Amazon
EDIT: Found it for $1.50
THIS IS FOR AN ADD-ON ITEM. You must spend at least $25 total on Amazon to get this price.
when I was in the Army in an Aviation Battalion, the pilots used these to read maps while flying.
we paid a lot more than $1.50 for them, some were red light, some white
@coondogg97: "THIS IS FOR AN ADD-ON ITEM. You must spend at least $25 total on Amazon to get this price."
More specifically, you cannot have the order fulfilled from Amazon at all unless you're spending at least $25 (although you can buy $25 worth of lights). OTOH, you can select an alternate vendor - still ordered through Amazon - and have them shipped for free from the far East for just under $1.50 each. The alternate vendors are listed on the right side of the product page.
From the picture, I thought these were those special finger...."massagers"
@j5: I didn't know you could massage your fingers. Could be handy, when my hand just sorta gets a bit tired and cramped...
Perfect for ...
Hah! I bought some of these for $1.00 at a cheap toy store in Hong Kong about 4 months ago. My kids loved playing with them for several days before they managed to lose all the lights.
These are PERFECT for all sorts of activities where you want to be discrete. I've used them for urban exploring, where I had a regular flashlight in one hand, and one of these (blue) on the tip of my middle finger. If I heard any noise, I could just curl my fist and conceal the light. I also keep one strapped to the "OGWAGD strap" in my car.
Poor thumb.
These are awesome for people with four fingers.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - More weather radios will soon be headed to residents of Shawnee County.
At its meeting Monday, the Shawnee County Commission approved emergency management director Dave Sterbenz ordering 1,000 more.
However, residents will pay a few more cents for them. The state paid the sales tax on the first 800, which are all spoken for. That's the most for which they'll do it, so the county must now charge the extra 70 cents for sales tax, making the radios $7.70.
Sterbenz says people realize just how important a weather radio is during severe weather, and, with this program where the state is picking up 75 percent of the cost, the price of a radio is less of obstacle to having one.
"Most people are realizing sirens are for outdoors," Sterbenz said. "People are paying more attention. they are getting the message."
Sterbenz says the public should not call in to reserve the next batch of radios yet. He says staff is still working to get the prior orders distributed. He says he will notify the public when the next orders will be taken.
Commissioners also talked about a conditional use permit for an emergency communication tower, but asked for more information before voting on it.

Falling in Place
by Tom Wilson, writer/editor-PCToday.
A stickler for skatepark protocol, he calmly waits his turn, one foot on the back end of his board, the other marking time 'til launch.
Front wheels overhang the lip of the course, an empty swimming pool of sorts at the bottom of a very sheer drop, indeed.
With the fearlessness of youth, Benjamin M. Schappell propels himself into play, from one side of the bowl to the other, a pendulum gathering momentum into the quarter-pipe. He soars and smiles and surfs the breeze, attempting an aerial stunt called the "roast beef."
It's a move that relies on midair balance, a subtle shift as the skater drops to grab the heel-side of his board, then stands to stick the landing. He misses it, barely, rolls onto his back, laughing. His skateboard scampers on, into the surrounding mulch.
A fresh scrape joins its distant cousins on Schappell's elbow, and with a philosophical "Wiping out is part of the game," he rises to go again and again, each time getting closer to nailing it. Close enough, at least, for another bit of etiquette: the staccato applause of other skaters' wheels tap-clap-tapping against the concrete.
A computer aided product design major at Pennsylvania College of Technology, Schappell embraces trial and error.
To him, falling isn't remotely like failing. Rather, it is a beneficial concept in his field: industry's capability to fashion goods on-screen prior to reaching the expensive, unforgiving factory floor – to "digitally tweak stuff before you have to spend a dime." "I can spend months and months designing and wwwing before I ever build anything by hand," says Schappell, who clearly enjoys working – and playing – with CAD.
A tinkerer by bloodline, he terms his Reading-area family a "bunch of frugal, handy people." No exception was his grandfather, christened as David G. Simmons but remembered simply as "Pop," who retired to Morris and remained after the 2006 death of his wife, Jean.
"He was a Navy man, a jack-of-all-trades," Schappell says, eyes bright as he conjures an adolescence of do-it-yourself adventure with a senior accomplice.
"We'd come up over the summer, and we'd always (have) project ideas. We'd invent something, then get it done that week," he remembers. "We made marshmallow guns, a rocket launcher that would send soda bottles way up into the sky; we hooked a 'weed-wacker' motor up to an old banana-seat bike.
"Doing stuff like that with him inspired my love for engineering and design. 'If you can create something, don't buy it.' That's a motto I live by. 'Fix something yourself'; I learned that from him."
"'If you can create something, don't buy it.' That's a motto I live by. 'Fix something yourself'; I learned that from him."
Emotional and geographical closeness was a factor in Schappell's Penn College decision. And the childhood challenge of bringing an idea to life within seven days would resurface, not coincidentally involving the park where "Pop's" grandson now glides with confidence and finesse.
But first things first.
"I knew I wanted to get into engineering, mainly with a CAD focus. I didn't really have an idea of where to go," Schappell says. "My mom suggested I look into here.
"They have a wonderful program. The fact that it's in an area I'm familiar with – I could move in with my grandfather and commute – it was just too perfect. I didn't even bother applying anywhere else; I knew this was where I had to go to school."
His career interest wasn't quite as well-defined. In middle school, he told his guidance counselor that he wanted to open a skateboard business.
"He suggested I come up with other ideas, some Plan B's."
Schappell showed an aptitude for technical drawing in eighth grade, but found it "boring." As a sophomore at Schuylkill Valley High School, he looked closer, and "it just became a passion."
During Penn College orientation, he met David A. Probst, an assistant professor of drafting and computer aided design, who talked engagingly about student projects and showed him the rapid prototyping laboratories.
"Dave's just a real guy who has experience in industry, not just a professor with a bunch of knowledge who can't relate it to the real world," Schappell says. "All the professors have field experience. You know they're real and you know they can relate the subject matter to reality."
Probst, characterized by Schappell as "pretty cool" and "a biker dude," readily shares the affection: "Ben is a very dedicated and hard-working student. He is a team player and helps others that may be struggling. He's very conscientious about any project he works on (and) manages his time well.
"He did a fantastic job on the skatepark design."
Schappell's assistance with the Lifland Skatepark, dedicated in September of 2012, was a blend of hobby and happenstance.
"When I came to school here, there wasn't anywhere to really skateboard besides the parking lots around campus," Schappell explains, "and a parking lot gets boring after a while. When I found out there was a push to get a skatepark built here, it really got my interest."
He left a Facebook message for Lonnie Wilcox, who was spearheading the project, offering, "I'm a CAD student, I know a lot about skateboarding, I'll be willing to help where I can." By the time they met, going over details that would move the idea closer to fruition, the clock was ticking.
"They had some cardboard models that weren't very representative, so he asked me if I could take the information we talked about and create a digital 3-D model – as an actual representation of the basic construction design and shape of the park – to show to City Council."
He had one week.
"I worked on it every night, after classes, with help from my professors to give me pointers about different methods of modeling some complex curves, the way the ramps flow," Schappell remembers.
He got it done in plenty of time and showed it to the organizers, who used the mockup in the council presentation.
"Ben truly stepped up," Wilcox says. "It didn't take him long at all. He got me his model days ahead, and we were able to really show what we had in mind. Council unanimously approved the project, and Ben's design helped make all that possible."
It also saved an estimated $8,000 to $10,000 that might have been spent on a professional design consultant.
"So the money that was raised (including a $40,000 donation from Sally Butterfield, for whose parents the Lifland Skatepark is named) could go toward seeing it done instead of conceptualizing," says Schappell, glad to be part of such an addition to his adopted community.
"There's a very deep culture around skateboarding – people who love to skate just love to skate," he says. "It was important to have something for them. Otherwise, there'd be skateboarders all over town, aggravating people who don't want them on their property."
That outlet will only improve in its next phase, an L-shaped expansion that will incorporate "street"-style enhancements: staircases, ledges and other "fun obstacles for people to skate on."
"They won't need to go downtown and skate on some business's railings," Schappell says of the facility, which also caters to other so-called extreme sports: BMX bikes, scooters, in-line skates. "They can come to the skatepark that's created for them. It's an awesome park."
He is certainly enjoying it on this afternoon, tirelessly looping the course even as shadows lengthen, headgear protecting him from inevitable spills.
"I like wearing a helmet 'cause I've hit my head so many times," he shrugs, intimating an equation that arose from a teenage injury: staples + lecture from the doctor = advocacy. "I wear hats constantly, and this is just another hat."
In just a few years, he has worn many such hats, accruing an admirably diverse body of work.
"Pop," who died in July 2012 while Schappell was on a mission trip in Trinidad, would be proud.
Contrary to that counselor's advice, Schappell did start a skateboard company: Smorgas Board Co., with its tagline "All you can skate." He also designs and builds drum kits as part of a praise band that performs weekly at Liberty Church.
"As long as we're creating, doing anything new, there's always a need for CAD," he says, pointing to a communications tower beyond. "It was designed very intentionally; people didn't just sketch it and start grabbing metal and welding it together. There's documentation of the process, to look back on and inspect and ensure that it's done correctly to the highest quality. That's the role CAD plays in just about everything."
As Schappell nears graduation, his job hunt will grow more earnest. He'd like to stay in the area – preferably near Liberty, where he moved in with his pastor after the sale of "Pop's" house.
"I don't find myself particular to any field," he says. "I just love the work itself. I love designing, seeing something made in 3-D and comparing it to the real-life project in the end."
Time will tell … and it shouldn't take but a week.
A Class Act – In AND Out of Class
Does anything say "comfort" quite like a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich? Granted, it won't change the world, but it can make it a homier place in which to work, play and study.Watch video
That's the philosophy behind "It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time," among the initiatives undertaken by Benjamin M. Schappell as Pennsylvania College of Technology's first Commuter Assistant in 2011-12. In an ongoing effort to put out the welcome mat and engage nonresident students, Schappell and his successors supply free fixin's – bread, peanut butter, jelly and marshmallow crème – every Friday in the Bush Campus Center commuter lounge.
The tasty offering is noted in an informative video titled "A Day in the Life of a Penn College Commuter," incorporated this summer into the Connections orientation presentations. In a breezy eight minutes, Schappell's good nature (and even better advice) resolves many of the basic questions a drive-in student might ask about the college and its resources.
"There may not always be a parking space right where you want it, but I can assure you there's parking somewhere," is one of his helpful hints for campus survival. "What I like to do is park further away in one of the more secluded parking lots, where I know there will be a spot available, then I'll just use a skateboard or bike to get around throughout the day."
Viewers also peek into Schappell's physics and computer aided design classes, follow him to lunch at the Wildcat Express, visit the commuter lounge and locker facilities, hang out with friends in campus housing, and attend an evening meeting of the Off-Campus Housing Organization.
The video illuminates one of its star's main attributes, according to Katie L. Mackey, coordinator of off-campus living and commuter services: his contagiously genial involvement with each and every student he meets.
"Whether it was interaction as a peer in the commuter lounge, a strong member of a team or supporting OCHO, Ben was a student leader – not because of what he accomplished, but because of the person that he is," she said.
Schappell carries that inspiringly supportive attitude into all aspects of life: with his faith family at church, patrons of the local skatepark, his broad circle of friends, and the students and faculty who rely on him as a peer mentor/tutor.
"As faculty, we select students who would serve as good role models and have a willingness to help fellow students in need," said Katherine A. Walker, assistant professor of drafting and computer aided design. "Ben was an excellent candidate for the position because he had been doing this activity all along – as a department, we just gave it an official title. He is a student that stays on task, has excellent organizational skills, and is very patient and kind when working with classmates that may need his help."
"Community" hasn't been a part of the college's name since 1989. But, as long as there are students like Ben Schappell – spreading smiles, building rapport and lending a hand – the word will never vanish from its legacy.

What is Woot.com's stance on SOPA?
I don't mean to start anything or a heated topic I just want to know what their stance is,
Also what are other sites opinions on it?
12 Answers answer
SOPA would do many things. Stopping online piracy is not one of them.
@rprebel: that seems to be the just of it
what brought about this question is the new moofi: http://moofi.woot.com/moofi/justdoingourpart
which i thought was hilarious but it also made me wonder woots views.
SOPA will never pass. Keep fighting it anyway though.
It's more than a bit unsettling to know the reach of influence the US government has over not just the States, but the state of the internet as it exists today. I'm afraid that there is little we can do as individuals to prevent those in power from enacting any and all restrictions that they see fit.
I'd like to think there's something that can be done to prevent or even hinder the progression, but it feels like the bullseye has already been hit and the rest of the dominoes will begin to fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
This article shows Amazon's views on SOPA.
Judging by what is displayed on moffi, I would say they are following with Amazon in being against SOPA.
What online company would ever be for SOPA? the basic of it is "if your website is found to have any piracy, or suspicion of piracy, then we can order your ISP and all DNS providers to kill any connection to the site." How that could ever fit in with the idea of "innocent until proven guilty" is beyond me, but hey, I live in a pipe dream where I don't believe the police would arbitrarily mace and mercilessly beat people who were engaged in non-violent quiet protest. I mean we're not in Soviet Russia, or Egypt.... Right...? Right....?
Someone pass me the Tin Foil, I think the structural integrity of my hat is beginning to show signs of failure...
I hate where our country is going and there is so little I can do about it I feel like a little mouse trying to lift a rhino. As far as elections go what is the point? Anyone who becomes a "front runner" or has any "viability in winning" is a total fraud. I had hope that Obama would stick up for civil rights but in fact he is as bad if not worse then Bush. I look at the republican options and cringe; Romney thinks we should "double Guantanamo", Santorum doesn't believe privacy is a right citizens have, Gingrich is completely bonkers, and while Ron Paul gets an A+ in the civil rights department he is not electable, his economic policies are too anti-mainstream.
It just makes me want to run into the streets like George Bailey in Bedford Falls and scream at the top of my lungs. It also makes me want to move to Norway, if only I could speak their language...
At the SOPA... SOPA cabana... At the SOPA - we fell in love!
That about sums up my feelings about SOPA... it'll be as useful as barry manilow :)
If you are interested in adding your name to petition in opposition to SOPA, act now. There is an online petition asking the Whitehouse and the President to veto any SOPA-like bill passed by Congress. Please visit the "We the People" section of the Whitehouse website.
@gojomoso: I think that moffi link answers your question. They clearly aren't being serious, this is woot, name the last serious product write-up you saw. They may not be as opposed to it as the big guns, Google, Facebook, etc that are threatening blackouts but they clearly oppose it.
@mikeymet: Yeah, and even without this act. Several years ago the US government shut down a Canadian website because it provided information about growing drugs that are illegal in the US. The only justification that was offered was that US citizens were able to view the information. Imagine if some other country tried to do that in the US for websites that country didn't like.
I never see soup on woot.

Copyright © 1998, Orland Hetherington
For many years (ballpark 10-15 years) I had been havingdiscomfort which had been getting worse when I laid down on my leftside. Additionally, I was having increasing problems with indigestionand pain and nausea with some foods like chocolate that increased overtime. I never drank much maybe once or twice a year but I found in theyears prior to my diagnosis alcohol would give me pain and extremediscomfort for days after. When I'd lie on my left side I'd becomenauseated with a feeling of pins and needles/millions ofworms crawling around in my abdomen but only when I'd lay on my leftside. This built over a period of maybe 15 years until finally Iwouldn't lie on my left side at all. I was told "don't lie on your leftside". I eventually had a colonoscopy which showed nothing as thetumor was higher up in my small intestine.
In the spring of 1994 I had a GI bleed (gastrointestinal) thatwouldn't quit. I went into the hospital for tests which, showed nothing.I also had several units of blood. My GP thought it was a duodenal ulcer.One doctor in the hospital (a major one) thought it wasn't a bleed atall but darkening of the stool from Pepto Bismol® (despite the factthat I needed and was given a couple of bags of blood). The otherdoctors there knew it was something but couldn't tell what it was.
In September 1994 I had another major GI bleed. They ran theusual tests plus a few more with no results (scopes down both ends withtubes of different lengths, Mendel's diverticulum test, other testswith isotopes in my blood, ultrasound, small bowel follow through). They were going to send me home and we asked them not to. I'd beenlucky with the first two bleeds as I was close to a large city whenthey happened (London, Ont., Canada). They decided to try more tests.The one was an abdominal angiogram. It showed the tumor (leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine).
Once they knew where it was another small bowel follow through was done whichsomehow showed it this time. Two days later they removed the tumor along with a couple of feet of jejunum. While I was in the hospital myMother passed away and a crazy woman who thought we going to get marrieddecided to move into my other house near Niagara Falls. While all that was going on with the funeral and getting the police and psych hospitalto remove this woman from my house, I had an ileus (intestine shutsdown and won't open). So I went back to the hospital for another NG tube and aweek or two of rest. Once home after the ileus I could barely walk 50 feet. Ibuilt from that.
Once that was over I went back to work. My surgeon told me hegot it all and not to worry. I asked for a referral to an oncologist atthe cancer center and scans. He said no, I didn't need it. Justto be on the safe side, I asked my GP for a referral to the cancercenter which he did give me. They began doing CT scans every 3 months. In November 1996, my CT report came back positive with peritonealseeding / sarcomatosis. Soon after I was told I had 6 months to live(Jan to June 1996).
I went back to the original surgeon who said once again he gotit all and wouldn't do surgery as it wasn't cancer. Go figure. Whew. Iwent to another surgeon in a different city who did a needle biopsy andspiral CT who said it was sarcomatosis and surgery wouldn't buy me moretime, chemo and radiation wouldn't help. The path report confirmedhigh grade. I've been told that staging is irrelevant in my situation.He said once I was palliative with GI bleeds / obstructions he waswilling to operate then. He sent me home and said this is the bestYou're going to feel so enjoy your time. I tried another surgeon, he said no also.
My oncologist sent me to another local surgical oncologist who waswilling to operate. We talked about it not being curative but thepossibility of it extending my time. Hopefully in the meantime newtreatments would unfold. The goal was set to live to see my daughterget on a school bus. I had the surgery in April 1997. I had a wonderfulsurgeon who removed 5 abdominal tumors, un-kinked an intestine, andremoved adhesions. The first post op CT's read something like, metastatic tumors. Didn't mention peritoneal seeding or sarcomatosisthis time. It read fewer tumors but in the same place. When I came homein May 1997 I could barely walk 500 feet. I decided to fine tune mynutrition, alternatives, juicing and exercise.
I built up day to day (overdoing it) to where I was walking 5 km's 4 or 5 days a week, 2 to 3 days a week, lifting weights in mybasement, and 2 to 3 days a week doing a 35-minute pulse rate workoutwhere I get my pulse up to about 145-153 and held it there. AroundJanuary I had to back away from it with some GI and respiratory flus.I'm overweight, always have been, eat like a horse but want to do more of the right things.
In April 1998, I once again had surgery. This time, theyremoved 8 tumors, did a small bowel resection, removed the greateromentum and adhesions and repaired an incisional hernia. Shortly aftergetting home I had a problem with severe vomiting to the point ofthrowing up fecal material along with extreme abdominal pain. Probablya small ileus or small intestine is getting caught and kinked in there. Inthe ER I was given gravol and some morphine.
My post op CT with oral gastrograffin and IV isotope of Iodineonce again shows peritoneal seeding. I keep copies of the scans. Theyhave lots and lots of grease pencil marks indicating possible tumors.I'm hoping some of it will be post op etc. I'll be seeing my surgicaloncologist and oncologist in a couple of weeks. I am presentlyattempting to persuade my OncoDoc's to consider chemotherapy once Ilose my surgeon.
I do take several alternatives. Most are an assortment of vitamins /minerals. I also use guided imaging, music therapy, and exercise.
I've started building for any future treatments or surgeries.Some medical suggestions are; don't overdue it and just enjoy yourtime. I'm in a fight though. Some days I get really tired evenwhen I don't do a workout. But I found in the past that fatigue gotless and less with exercise, nutrition and sleep. Immediately post-opsometimes I can barely make it fifty feet. It's a very slow build upuntil I can cross train-using weights, pulse rate workouts (stationarybike/treadmill with monitors), and outdoor walking.
I live in Lucan, Ontario Canada with my 2 and one half yearold baby girl Brianne and my wife Mary Lynn. I enjoy: playing withBrianne, getting as much exercise as I can to get ready for futuresurgeries/treatments, photography, videotaping, traveling whenpossible, using computers (net and mailing lists) and slaying dragons. Iam still considered terminal and on borrowed time, but enjoy life. I amalso a CO-owner of the Sarcoma Cancer Electronic Mailing List and anadjunct CO-owner of the L-M-Sarcoma Cancer Electronic Mailing List (bothNon-profit).
My short-term goals include being able to see my daughterget on a school bus, trying out some of the new anti-angiogenic drugs,slaying the last dragon, and getting back to the office.My mid-term goals include retirement in the year 2030 and having morechildren.
I'd like to add that I'm extremely grateful to my surgeon from1994 for what he did then, to my GP who is hanging in there for me, myoncologist, oncology nurse and especially to my new surgeon who'swilling to try it despite things.

text: Hey guys, here is another installment to the baby animal collection that I will be doing for a while. It is on "how to draw a baby panda", step by step. I wanted this panda to be super cute and really easy to replicate because I know how many of you all love these fuzzy bamboo eating bears. The bears expression is very sad, but he could also be looking very shy as well. Either way you look at this panda you know one thing, it's an adorable display which means you will definitely enjoy drawing panda bears like the one you see here. I know I have drawn and made many lessons in the past on panda bears, but they are too cute to pass up. I don't know if it's because they're black and white, or because they are a rare animal species. No matter, I like them nonetheless. Well that's about it. Enjoy drawing a baby panda of your own, then upload your finished work to Dragoart.com for others to see. Peace out folks.

Hundreds of thousands of devoteeswill cheer the return of Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee in Tony Hillerman's mostintricate and atmospheric novel yet. The Navajo policemen, whose exploitsare now published in sixteen languages, are brought together by the deathof a man on Ship Rock, almost 1700 feet above the desert floor.
The fallen man had sprawled on the ledge under the peak of Ship Rock mountainfor eleven years-visited only by the ravens who had picked his bones bareand scattered his rock-climbing gear.
Through the memory of those who had known him, emerges an understandingof the fallen man, who had been given everything and found it was notenough.
The Fallen Man is replete with Hillerman trademarks-ingeniously intricateplotting, splendid evocations of the Southwest's harsh beauty, insightsinto a venerable culture, and subtly poignant characterizations.
Tony Hillerman's many bestselling novels include Finding Moon, Sacred Clowns,and Coyote Waits. He lives with his wife, Marie, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Gil Silverbird is an American Navajo Indian who sings in several languagesand performs extensively in the theatre and on television. He can be heardon Tony Hillerman's The Ghostway and Sacred Clowns.
About the Author
Tony Hillerman was the former president of the Mystery Writers of America and received its Edgar® and Grand Master awards. His other honors include the Center for the American Indians Ambassador Award, the Silver Spur Award for the best novel set in the West, and the Navajo Tribes Special Friend Award. He lived with his wife in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

My wife is 33w 5 days pregnent as per LMP. All her USG done till far except the last one which was done couple of days backed the USG fetal age was 1 week ahead of LMP. The last USG she wen't through showed the fetal age to be 2 weeks behind the LMP. Our doctor mentioned that this is not a good sign as this is indicating that the baby is not growing properly. So he was suggesting an early delivery within 37-38 wk. As far as I have researched I found that
- USG dating is more reliable in early pregnency when the proportional growth of all babies are consistent.
- At later pregency the USG dating is +- 2 weeks.
- Baby growth at later pregnency is not uniform.
So my question is
- Is it really a concern if USG fetal age is 2 weeks behind LMP fetal age?
- Is it enough reason to go for early delivery?
- Can the USG dating be wrong considering a 3 weeks prior scan showed the USG age to be 1 week ahead of LMP age.
- The weight of baby was estimated to be 1.7033 kg. Is it normal for 33 wk?
We are really worried and concerned. Even the doctor we are visiting is the best Gynacologist in our city.

Is this possible to shutdown to grub, not all the way so you don't have to load back up the BIOS and other things. Like to give you the ability to quickly boot for Linux to Windows?
The only similar utility I'm aware of is Kexec. Sadly, it can only boot a new Linux Kernel from within Linux (useful for Kernel updates without resetting the hardware.) As far as I know, doing the same for Windows or using such for fast switching between *nix and Windows is not possible with Kexec.
No you can't
When Grub boots a kernel, it eventually hands over control to it, it doesn't stay in a dormant state or something.
Think of Grub as a tiny OS. When you boot a kernel, or chainload into a device, GRUB is gone. The only similar thing to achieve, would be using something like EFI, but that actually starts when an OS turns over control to whatever else. On VAXstations, it was possible to halt the system and break into a prompt called chevron ("

Can someone please give me a straight answer im leaving for Costa Rica in the morning and need my music.
There are many ways to (semi-)automate the process. I'm assuming you don't want to use an app to manage this. (There are dozens. I expect some other answers will suggest some.)
I also assume that you know how to connect to your PC and turn on "USB Storage".
Just copy your music files to your SD card. The music player will find the tracks wherever you have them, but you should probably put them in a "Music" subfolder so that you can find them easily.
It's as simple as that.
You can copy the music to any location on your phone, and the music player will detect the location automatically.
Al has posted how you can transfer your file with a PC and USB cable, if for some reason it doesn't work for you you can install Awesome Drop from the Market and then use Dashwire's awesome drop to transfer the file using internet connection.

Loved these but would make them in a big pan and cut into squares to save time. I used mini cupcake pans and took a lot of time to fill and then was difficult to get out of pan. Using big a big pan will eliminate hassles.
Mini Mushroom-&-Sausage Quiches
From EatingWell: April/May 2005
These crustless mini quiches are like portable omelets. Turkey sausage and sauteed mushrooms keep them light and savory. Small and satisfying, they're also a good finger food for your next cocktail party.
87 Reviews for Mini Mushroom-&-Sausage Quiches
This is a very good recipe for mini quiche. I made them for breakfast this morning. I did however cut the recipe in half; only using 4 eggs (2 whole & 2 whites) w/1/4 cup of milk, morningstar sausage crumble, yellow onion & mushrooms. They came out perfect! Cooking time 25 mins (secret you must preheat oven) Loved this recipe-I will definitely make them again..:0)
Too wet. Too much pepper. When they came out of the pan, there was no bottom crust and I cooked it longer than the 25 minutes that was called for. All together, disappointing. Will not make again.
This is my last weekend of freedom before I return to work, so I will be making this recipe again. I used this recipe for the past 2 years while I was in grad school and it really was fabulous. I don't really want to eat frozen processed foods, so this is great. The mini quiches freeze well, so you can make them ahead of time. I would throw one in the microwave and pair it with an english muffin and a banana. VERY GOOD!!!!
Perhaps a better name for these would be "Individual sausage-mushroom quiches" instead of "mini" since they are cooked in a normal size cupcake pan. Having said that, I did have to cook my quiches longer than the 25 minutes--more like 37 minutes and that is after I changed the heat source to my convection oven at the 25 minute mark. These were very tasty and I think will be fun to experiment with using different ingredients. This will now become my "go to" recipe for Christmas morning eggs.

Since self-esteem is something that affects all of our lives, experts say it's best to start developing a positive self image at an early age.
Sherida Newmister is a therapist at Rivendell Behavioral Center. She says, "Usually self-esteem begins in childhood. Children when they are raised are either praised for good things or shamed for inappropriate things. As that shame builds as that praise builds it tends to develop the self esteem of the person."
Having low self-esteem is an infliction that is never fully out of ones system, but help is available.
Betsy Pierce is an outreach counselor for Western Kentucky University. She says, "Once they can say, yes, this is an area I struggle in. Start looking for things that caused it. How do we work out of those things?"
Dr. James Davis is a psychiatrist. He says, "Parents need to have good communication with their children. They need to have an open line of communication."
For people with low self esteem that have developed eating disorders treatment can be the best way to regain healthy habits.
Emily Kovar has been in therapy and in an eating disorder treatment facility for anorexia and she is doing much better.
Kovar says, "Very definitely anorexia is a disease where recovery is possible. Don't think it's not, but it's very hard and it takes years."
Newmister says, "You help them understand good nutrition. You help them understand a realistic body image.
For the people who cut themselves as an escape from their personal problems, there is also help through counseling.
Pierce says, "What are they hurting about? What's really going on? They need some kind of outlet. So you want to look at what's going on and give them some kind of outlet."
For someone who has struggled with their self-esteem Kovar says it truly is all about accepting yourself.
Kovar says, "The most important thing for self esteem is you can accept yourself, but it's a lot harder to accept yourself if you don't feel you're being accepted by your friends."
