Glad to hear you have resolved this issue. You can also use the -d flag for more verbose error reporting.

Hi djmmts,
what was your solution altogether?
I'm having trouble to run the cmd sencha by command line:

Let $X$ be a continuous random variable with range $[x_l,\infty)$ and p.d.f.
$f_x(X)\propto x^{-a}$, for $x\in[x_l,\infty)$
for some values $x_l > 0$ and $a \in \mathbb{R}$.
Assume $x_l$ = 0.5. Let K = ceil(X) or floor(X), that is X rounded (Up or down) to the nearest integer.
i. State the range of K and derive its probability mass function p(k). Note that
Pk(K=k) = Px(k - 0.5 ≤ X < k + 0.5)
ii. Demonstrate that this equation for pk satisfies the requirements for a p. m. f.
iii. Without reference to the form derived in (i), please explain why (for small $a$)
p(k) = (2^(a-1)) * (a-1) * k^(-a)
Can someone please at least explain to me what exactly I need to do for all these steps? It's quite confusing as I have not found some proper explanations with regards to pmf anywhere. I would appreciate it even more if someone could help me solve them :)

Chicago Landmarks
6 of 12
Field Museum of Natural History
First named the Columbian Museum of Chicago, the museum's name was changed to the Field Museum of Natural History in 1905 in honor of Marshall Field, the first major benefactor of the museum. The museum originally opened in 1893 and was moved to the Museum Campus in 1921. The museum houses extensive collections of anthropological and biological exhibits. The museum is home to "Sue," the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil skeleton, and the remains of the Lions of Tsavo.
Fun Fact: Because Sue's original head was too heavy for mounting, a lightweight replica was mounted in its place.

By Division of State Parks,Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism
Kids love an adventure. Tell them there's treasure involved, though, and they'll really get fired up! That's why they'll love a high-tech hobby that will also get them moving outdoors: geocaching.
This activity is a way to find "booty" hidden by others. With millions now enjoying the hobby, it has become a world-wide phenomenon. Arkansas State Parks are ideal spots for pursuing this rewarding adventure!
Individuals or groups have hidden more than a million caches all over the world. The location of each geocache is marked with Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates which are shared via the Internet. Enthusiasts use a hand-held GPS unit to hunt for the caches. Each hunt and the terrain around it vary in difficulty. Some caches contain only logbooks in small tins or film canisters, while others hold mini-treasures inside containers.
For geocaching details and clues, visit geocaching.com. This is the official website where you can learn about the latest caches in your area, how to hide a cache and how to start experiencing this fun and exciting scavenger hunt sport.
Arkansas geocaching is a great activity for people of all ages and yet another outdoor adventure you can enjoy in the State Parks of Arkansas. The hallmark of the Arkansas State Park system is its diversity, and this wide variety of natural and historic settings, landmarks and architectural works makes the state parks great getaways for the enjoyable geocaching sport.
Arkansas has 52 historic state parks, each with their own special mission. The other thing they each have is a geocache. This adventure is based around visiting all 52 state parks. Each park cache has a clue that you will need to find the final 53rd cache located somewhere else in the state. Just download the clue sheet at arkansasstateparks.com (look for "Geocaching" under the "Things to Do" tab) and start your adventure.
And if you've already explored geocaching, there are new treasure stashes to search for this spring and summer. Arkansas State Parks have partnered with towns in Chico and Desha counties to place 120 new caches. The treasures can be discovered along the Great River Road Scenic Byway in the southeast area of the state.
Arkansas State Parks encourage you to upload photos on the geocaching.com page when you find one and also to tell them about your visit to the park on the state park blog.
Plan some time for each of the parks and enjoy your visit after you finish your geocache adventure. Learn about natural, cultural and state history. Take in a hike, a swim or a boat ride. Go fishing, cycling or just relax. For information on geocaching throughout the Natural State, visit arkansas.com/geocache.
The park staff at the individual state parks will welcome your questions, or you can contact the State Parks Director's Office in Little Rock by e-mailing email@example.com.

I installed fastdebug build of JDK 6 (Linux x64 version, since there is no Ubuntu specific build) in
/usr/lib/jvm directory, manually set during installation process. Installation completed successfully (at least such a message was showed at the end). Now I have
/usr/lib/jvm/jdk.1.6.0_25/fastdebug/bin folder.
I ran this command to install (if it matters):
sudo java -jar jdk-6u25-ea-bin-b03-linux-amd64-debug-27_feb_2011.jar
When I run:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
I see all my JVMs (open jdk, sun, etc.) but there is no fastdebug build in the list to choose. I also ran the following:
sudo update-java-alternatives --jre -s jdk1.6.0_25
But it says:
"directory does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk.1.6.0_25"
Why so? The directory does exist! how to add this jdk to the list? I have the same problem with IBM's jdk. I also can't add it to the alternatives to select for the same reason ("directory does not exist..."). What did I do wrong?
PS. according to the information on the site, all files are made in
fastdebug/bin and
fastdebug/jre/bin directories executable using
chmod command.

I have a complicated issue on click(). I am having 4 buttons named as function 1 , function 2, method 1 and method 2.
<button id="function1"> Function 1</button>
<button id="function2">Function 2</button>
<button id="method1">Method 1</button>
<button id="method2">Method 2</button>
When function 1 in clicked and method 1 is clicked i have to trigger a action like this
$('#section1').html('<img src="http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/myvector/myvector1201/myvector120102079/12127940- vector-illustration-of-single-isolated-airport-icon.jpg"/>');
Like this i have four different combinations for function 1 method 1,function 1 method 2,function 2 method 1,function 2 method 2.
The problem is when i selected function 1 with any method it works fine. When i select function 2 after selecting the function 1 it changes both values.
I want to clear the previous click() and the change must happen only for the selected combination.
I have added a BIN
Thanks in advance

Great for Protest
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This bag was awesome for covering the local college campus with flyers for my band MEATICIDE, a vegan protest band that plays local stores that sell the flesh of animals. It held all my flyers with no problem and had enough space to hold my non GMO, fair wage, non discrimantory workers made water bottle as well.
It secured tight to my back when I was running from the local meat processing plants when Jerry told everyone on social media what we were doing, as security and the cops, tried to bust our peaceful protest of stopping the killing of innocent animals. Glad the toughness of the bag held up to hitting Jerry, that snitch, across the face with my bag.

This is my second time around with a chrome bag. I had one for years and got rid of it for no good reason. Since had moved onto a backpack where I never felt completely comfortable with the capacity to comfort ratio. I've learned my lesson.
Chrome bags are the way to go. Comfy quality and function.
Not the same as picture
The black bag in the picture has a black buckle. I received one with that is silver
How long does the shoulder strap extend to on the chrome citizen Messenger bag? I need a strap that is approx 62 inches long [158cm]. Do you have other large messenger style bags with a long strap?
Just what I've been looking for.
Been wanting a chrome bag for years and now I've got one. I've had more than a few messenger bags over the years and this one is easily the best. Very well made and designed to eliminate common problems like load shift. While not perfect, the placement of the shoulder strap and the stabilizer are far better than other bags. I've found that a flat item like a clipboard or laptop along the back of the bag help to keep the bag still on my back while ridding.
The only downside and the reason I hadn't bought one before now is the price. But after unpacking mine from the box, it was very clear where my money went. Would definitely buy this again.
1 Strap Messenger Bags Not For Me
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Speaking about quality, this thing is great, like the rest of Chrome's stuff. Filled it with ice and used it as a cooler numerous times, let it air dry and filled it back up again. It has survived a lot of travel too being used as my carry on.
Pros: 1.Water proof 2. Can add an optional organizer 3.superb quality that is standard to all Chrome products 4. Looks cool
Cons: 1. Maybe I was doing it wrong but this seemed to slide off my back while riding, I constantly have to readjust. 2. My friends constantly feel compelled to push the button regardless if my bag has clothing, my laptop, or glass bottles of beer 3. Single strap would fatigue my shoulder, big issue if I am packing for a long day while traveling. 4. The waterproofing gives me a sweaty back. 5. Pricey(but you get what you pay for here!!!)
Does the 'black/black/black' have the black buckle?
Looks like we uploaded the same picture for black/black and black/black/black. I pulled a couple pictures off the manufacturers site...
Looks like the triple black definitely does have a black buckle!
whats the difference between the black/black and the black/black/black?
-thanks, Nik
The black/black/black has a slightly darker more black bottom part where the logo is. The black/black looks more grey.
Great Messenger Bag
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great for transporting stuff on a bike when you're leaning over and for style points, but if you're looking to carry it around like a backpack, get a backpack. If you need a laptop bag, get a laptop bag. Chrome makes super durable and stylish bags, but the one strap style isn't as comfortable when it gets really heavy.
Holds plenty, and the optional laptop sleeve attachment that hooks to the inside works fine. The Night color is really cool. It feels like its made of a more solid material with the reflective stuff weaved in, not to mention it's safer at night. I prefered to not unbuckle it and instead hoisted it over my head to put it on and take it off. I later realized I'm more of a backpack, briefcase, shoulderbag kinda guy.
This bag is ILLIN!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Props to CHROME on an amazing design and use of hardened materials!
These bags are raaaaad!
This is my second Chrome Messenger Bag. I had a smaller one I rarely used because of the size. This one holds it all though. I can store my 15" laptop, notebooks, textbooks, pencils, erasers, and I have room for spare bike tubes, a handheld pump, bike tools, and even spare cables for phone chargers, USB, etc. I chose to really make this bag my own and put patches all over the front, back and inside. I think they look killer. They are durable, well made, and not too big. Also, the inside pockets are lined with a waterproof material which is genius. The buckle and strap is seat belt material and it is way convenient to unbuckle the strap rather than slinging it over your head to take it off or put it on. I would recommend this to all. The size it perfect for that I do.
Boyfriend's Prize Possession :)
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I purchased this bag in Black/Black as a birthday gift for my boyfriend about a month ago. He needed a messenger bag and had mentioned numerous times how badly he wanted a Chrome bag, but he didn't want to spend the money on one, so before he could buy something cheaper I splurged and surprised him with it... Let me tell you - he loves me more than ever! He takes this thing everywhere, whether walking or riding, because it is so versatile! It fits his 15" laptop and some books nicely, we take it with us when we go grocery shopping in addition to my backpack (he can even get a 6 pack in there with room to spare!), but I think what he loves most of all is the perfect little pocket for his U-lock. The one click release of the strap is awfully convenient as well, and he says that it is nice and comfy, even when full of books or groceries. Two thumbs up for sure!
Is it a medium or large?
Is it a medium or large?

City slicker boy bag
You'll get some snarky comments and condescending stares from hip trendy fools that put brakes on their bikes, but this bag feels great and is VERY functional. The bag has hefty waterproof cordura, and the tarp liner is a lifesaver for cleaning and for not having a soggy back if stuff spills or sweats. It also creates a huge stash pocket also, handy for sneaking your "water" into concerts or what have you. Specific U lock pocket, the quick release, and color scheme are just icing on the cake.
Exactly as one would expect! The bag is waterproof and the shoulder strap is extremely comfy and strong..no worries! I throw my 15" laptop, sack lunch, power cords and a small jacket..tonz of room!
Good if you don't weigh it down
This is a great bag that I frequently used for commuting to work. My only complaints were that it did not function well as a laptop bag and was uncomfortable if you had odd shaped items inside such as boxes or anything with hard corners. The buckle is awesome for taking it off and putting it back on. I stopped using this bag however after I got a herniated disc in my lower back last spring and now I soley use a back pack instead of any type of shoulder bag.

In the last months I flew a lot with different airlines, mainly Swiss, AirBaltic, Aeroflot and AeroSvit. Now I was wondering if there is a frequent flyer program covering as much as possible of these airlines. How can I find such a program?
There are currently three main airline alliances, Star Alliance, SkyTeam and OneWorld.
Wikipedia provides a pretty good overview of carriers to alliances to save you having to check each alliance's website in turn. Have a look through that and see which one you've mostly been hitting.
Also, be aware that carriers sometimes enter, leave or change alliances. This tends not to happen too often, but it does occur (just see the former and future members section on the wikipedia page for an idea), so you can't be certain that an airline (especially a smaller one) will always be in the alliance it's in today.
Finally, be aware that you often have a fairly short period of time to register flights with a frequent traveller program after flying, usually a few months. Unless you've flown very recently, you may find that not all of your flights can be credited when you join a program.
Aeroflot has only one frequent flyer program - you spend money on Mastercard, and you gather the miles. At the some moment you decide to get your ticket, you are happy, and the cycle repeats.
As Gagravarr said, Aeroflot is a SkyTeam member, and officially not permits the exchange of the bonus miles from other companies not from SkyTeam.

Yes but how can you shoot like this, I just wonder if anyone knows a cable that has a different angle for this purpose
Here is a photo
Yes but how can you shoot like this, I just wonder if anyone knows a cable that has a different angle for this purpose
Here is a photo
No sorry my mistake it cannot be angled as the camera will hit the bracket, silly me
No No No this may be possible but not in this case
I could not stitch it in PTGUi I have to have the full 90deg or about, so lets wait until I get the new adaptor finished
By the way Nick is it at all possible to replace one of the unused snib (I only use 6 and 3 clicks) and make it longer so we can use it as a lock - wondefull idea!!
And with the lead for the remote trigger I will make a new one myself which is flat and have a different insertion angle - I will report to you when done
you can use the dawntech di-GPS Pro L for D3x, it has a short cable which comes from the flash shoe and connects upright down without standing out. You can connect the remote on top of the GPS. I use this myself and i am pleased with it. Keeps last data when you go indoors.
www.dawntech.hk. Don't know if it is available in UK, i got mine in NL.
Well thats great Heinz if you want to spend $300.00 on a trigger
I will find out who sell a remote with s different angle connector like on the GPS
think this is with a curved contact as well, miss interpreted the pictures
Hi Heinz
Finally got a couple of leads from DawnTech in Hong Kong and they are perfect, so thanks for your link
See the attachment for connection to a stereo Jack
Hi Erik,
thx for letting us know.
I have the same problems with the Z and the N picture.
So i work with 0 degree for the horizontal pictures (6 stops). OK, the Z is -90 up and it works out. But for the Nadir-picture i found no solution. 65 degree down are not enough. What can i do?
Yes for the Nadir is a problem but there are 2 solutions
1/ If the ground is very simple, clone the it in Photoshop and patch it in Pano2VR
2/ if it is not then when you drop the camera to the 65 deg position move the tripod away about a metre and a half
That will give you a distorted photo of the ground, and to correct it you can do 2 things
A/ in Lightroom 3 or CS5 there is a wonderful new lens correction - really amazing and it is automatic
B/ Use PTLens it is cheap and very good
Once corrected you can patch it in Pano2VR

I really appreciate your insights, Hans, as well as those of others who have studied ballet seriously and even taught.
I hope I didn't frighten people away from replying--as with everything in ballet, one needn't know every tiny rule about épaulement to have an opinion about how it looks and/or who does it well.
Although I understand the reasoning behind the split between BT and BT for Dancers, I often find myself wishing that those of you who truly understand the technique beneath and within the dancing would talk MORE about what it is that you see and experience during performance.
The concept of "opposition," as presented in drb's post, seems crucial. In Renaissance and Mannerist sculpture, the opposition (often referered to as "torsion") tends to between upper body and lower body -- a kind of twisting of the spine.
The influence of Hellenistic sculptures like The Dying Gaul and Laocoon on artists like Michelangelo and Caravaggio is unquestioned. Comparison of representations of the human figure with this tension and without it -- for instance, Michelangelo's Pieta versus Piero da Cortona's -- is striking. The artists who use this more elaborate version of epaulement produce figures that "live" in the way that other, more conventional artists, could not.
It may be an optical illusion, and I don't understand it, but the effect is definitely there. So why not in ballet as well?

Does GTD, or any other agile/time-management method give an advice/best practice about when to reply e-mails?
I am talking about typical e-mails, which requires some work to be done (1 hour+).
It is better to
- reply with "I know about your message, i'll get to it tomorrow, maybe later" (saying actually nothing)
- or reply after many hours/days, when I get to it and reply "It's done"? (recipient need to wait longer, but get the answer which makes sense)

Unanswered: Window Forms inside Tabpanel remain visible after closing the tab
Hi, I'am new to extjs, so I'am not sure if its a bug or not so I posted it here.
I have Tabpanel, each Tab has gridpanel inside with buttons that will pop-up window forms(modal is set to true).

My problem is that when there is only one Tabpanel item and try to close the Tab while window form is still active/open/showing, the window form and its modal mask remain visible (suppose to be deleted together with its container)

The Institute for Research on Labor, Employment, and the Economy (IRLEE) at the University of Michigan was established in July 2008 as a new entity, merging two longstanding university units, the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations (ILIR) and the Business and Industrial Assistance Division (BIAD). The new Institute has as its mandate to form a coherent conceptual framework, incorporating:
- basic knowledge about the economy;
- the impacts of economic trends on the well-being of individuals, families, and communities;
- wide-ranging economic program interventions for communities in distress to stimulate economic development; and
- evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions in improving economic competitiveness, in ameliorating problems associated with economic restructuring and transformation, and in contributing to innovative economic development policy.
Research Publications
The research tradition established at ILIR and BIAD continues at IRLEE. The Publications website contains an interactive list of journal articles, research reports, and economic forecasts by current and former IRLEE research staff members.
Center for Business Acceleration and Incubation Studies
The Center for Business Acceleration and Incubation Studies (CBAIS) helps achieve objectives such as economic development and diversification through the establishment and promotion of business incubators. CBAIS undertakes regional studies to determine how to best accelerate economic growth and recovery.
Business incubators are facilities that provide support and guidance to local small businesses and entrepreneurs. These incubators help new businesses grow and mature into successful ventures.
Professional service providers play a significant role in the success of business incubators by providing support and expertise on various areas such as legal services, accounting, finance, and insurance, among others.
Defense Manufacturing Assistance Program
The Defense Manufacturing Assistance Program (DMAP) proposed by the Institute for Research on Labor, Employment, and the Economy (IRLEE) at the University of Michigan is designed to support defense manufacturing firms in the face of Department of Defense fiscal downsizing. The goal of DMAP is to help maintain individual firm's manufacturing capability and capacity through customized planning and co-funded core-strengthening and diversification projects.
DMAP is in a fact-finding stage. We are currently gathering information and assessing interest in the program.
First Customer Program
The First Customer Program (FCP) assists companies with identifying first customers, gaining introductions, and closing deals. FCP is focused on start-up tech companies that need both preparation for and introduction to first customers. While focusing on start-ups, FCP also assists established companies that are facing start-up challenges as they diversify into new markets.
Great Lakes Trade Adjustment Assistance Center
The Great Lakes TAAC assists companies that have been negatively impacted by imports to improve their global competitiveness and long-term viability. It administers the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms program in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
Labor and Global Change
The Labor and Global Change program addresses the effects of economic "globalization" on workers, unions, and societies. It explores how public policy, business programs, and worker organizations can increase the human benefits and reduce the social costs of national and global economic restructuring.
Center for Labor Market Research
The Center for Labor Market Research has two main research focus areas. One is regional economic forecasting, estimating employment and unemployment for areas smaller than a state, such as counties and metropolitan areas, as well as for multi-state regions. The Center's other primary focus is research-based policy analysis, such as answering "what if" questions about how a region's economy would be affected by, for instance, a change in government policy, or a plant closing.
National Excess Manufacturing Capacity Catalog
The National Excess Manufacturing Capacity Catalog (NEXCAP) promotes business expansion and innovation, regional economic development, and job growth by matching companies looking to relocate, expand, or diversify with the vacant manufacturing sites/facilities.
Technology and Commercialization Assistance
The Technology and Commercialization Assistance (TCA) program identifies the capabilities and initiatives of existing companies and matches them with university technologies resident in Michigan universities.
Detroit Chene Street History Project
The Detroit Chene Street History Project documents one of the city's critical commercial and residential corridors from 1890 to 1990. It incorporates oral histories, photographs and other images, documents, film and audio recordings, as well as historical data collected since the project began in 2002. An interactive website maps Chene Street and its arterial neighborhoods, chronicling its ethnically and religiously diverse residents, businesses, and institutions. While the Chene Street neighborhoods have largely been bulldozed or reverted to prairie, this project offers a window into the development and devastation of this significant area on Detroit's east side through both historical records created by its social, cultural, and religious institutions and the lived experiences of its residents and business owners. The Project is a collaboration with the U-M Frankel Center for Judaic Studies.

Why isn't E-mail capitalized like it used to be in The New York Times?

The 'E' part is an abbreviation, which tend to be capitalised, especially, as others have said, when it's a new term. And abbreviations, through popular use, eventually become a noun in their own right.
However, T-shirt seems to have resisted being lower cased for some decades now, other than the solitary 'tee' which I sometimes see in clothes shops. I wonder whether it's because we like to see the shape of the shirt in the 'T'.
In the UK, about 10 years ago a court order called an 'Anti-Social Behaviour Order' was created - and received many mentions in newspapers. They quickly evolved from ASBO through Asbo to asbo. I think the word was finally integrated when it became, at least in speech, a verb, ie you could have your neighbour 'asboed'.
I can't find anything to verify this, but I think they capitalized it for the same reasons they still capitalize 'Web' and 'Internet' -- they considered it a proper name. Probably even when they did capitalize 'E-mail', they wouldn't have capitalized it in cases like "Sally received an e-mail," but only in cases like "The E-mail servers crashed in Barbados."
This seems to have happened around the turn of the millenium; there's mostly E-mail up to 1999, and e-mail from 2000.
Readers had been complaining about E-mail since at least 1995, which gives us the reasoning behind the capital. From the New York Times, August 21, 1995:
In fact, if you read the article from page 1, they're discussing whether An E-mail and E-mails are acceptable terms for a piece and pieces of electronic mail.
Back to the present. The New York Times is still using e-mail and aren't planning to switch to email just yet. But more and more newspaper style guides, including the AP Stylebook, are dropping the hyphen. I expect the Times will follow at some point.
It has become an independent word (they dropped the hyphen, too, from what I can see), not a hyphenated abbreviation of "electronic mail".

I'm confused about the words dish and plate. Could someone please explain the difference?
Sign up

A plate is a specific type of dish. A dish is generally something that food is eaten or served from. A plate tends to refer specifically to a flat dish that is suitable for holding food that does not have a high liquid content. The other common type of dish is a bowl. A bowl will be similar to a hollow sphere cut in half and is useful for serving soups and other foods with high liquid content which would run off of a plate.
A large plate intended for serving food may be referred to as a platter.
@aaronasterling gives a good explanation of what they mean as pieces of crockery. They can also both mean — drat, I can't find a good synonym now! — let's say, menu items you might order at a restaurant:
These arose in obvious metonymy from the crockery usage, but have developed specific connotations. Dish in this sense is much more general, and used (afaik) across most or all of the English-speaking world. Plate is less usual, and more associated (I think) with North American usage, and with fancier restaurant subcultures.
DISH : 1. An open, generally shallow concave container for holding, cooking, or serving food. 2. The food served or contained in a dish: a dish of ice cream.
PLATES : 1.A plate is a specific type of dish. 2.a shallow, usually circular dish, often of earthenware or porcelain, from which food is eaten. 3.the contents of such a dish; plateful. 4.an entire course of a meal served on such a dish: I had the vegetable plate for lunch.
Like many other words in the English language, there is a confusion from time to time about the real, or exact, meaning of terms. Here's what I think:
"Dish" is more of the generic term, as in "dish washer", "set of dishes", "main dish", etc.; however, while talking about dishes, cups are cups, saucers are saucers, bowls of any kind are always bowls, serving platters are always platters; however, in the group of dishes, there are "plates" which are noticeably larger than dishes and generally accommodate several kinds of food but are never used for serving food. One, I suppose, could call anything rather flat as a "dish" and never be wrong, which is not the case for "plate".

Same problem here...
Didn't see this was its own post; I just replied to a closed post regarding a similar issue.
I am getting a strange misalignment problem when I use a datepicker in my form. I pull it in using xtype (code shown below attached picture). Perhaps this is a weird bug caused by Chrome v.21.0.1180.83 m ? I know of the text truncation issues (ellipses) that happen when using this latest version of Chrome, and so maybe this is another UI issue?
Here's the behavior: If I move any column from its default value (default for value coded as "value: new Date()"), after the animation ends, the selection snaps back to some misaligned position, depending on the selection made. For example, if I select "January 1, 1980" (first/default minimum date), then there is no post-selection movement. However, if I select "December 31, 2012" (attempted in screenshot above), the datepicker moves the selection after animation end to November 29, 2011. If I click "done", the value loaded is 11/29/2011.
It seems the post-selection movement amount of pixels or whatever depends on how far away the date is from the earliest available date. Hopefully that bit of info will help with the debugging.
As stated above, but I'm testing on Windows Server 2008, Chrome desktop v. 21.0.1180.83 m (latest version to date, July 2012).
Below is my code - nothing fancy by any means.
Ext.define('myApp.view.IncidentForm', { extend: 'Ext.form.Panel', xtype: 'incidentform', requires: [ 'Ext.form.Panel', 'Ext.field.DatePicker', 'Ext.field.Select', 'Ext.field.Toggle' ], config: { title: 'Incident', id: 'incidentForm', items: [ { html: '
Report an Incident
' }, { xtype: 'fieldset', title: 'Basic Info', instructions: 'All fields are required.', items: [ { xtype: 'datepickerfield', name: 'date', label: 'Date', value: new Date() }, { xtype: 'textfield', name: 'time', label: 'Time (hh:mm)' }, { xtype: 'selectfield', name: 'eventType', label: 'Event Type', options: [ {text: 'Option 1'}, {text: 'Option 2'}, {text: 'Option 3'}, {text: 'Option 4'} ] } ] }, ] } });

We are getting this in chrome as well.

ST 1.1.1 works though...
In my screenshot above, I am using ST 22.214.171.124. We have a previous version of our app built with ST 1.1.1 which does not have the same misalignment issue.

This is happening for me in 2.1rc2 too, in Chrome.

Same Issue
We are having the same issue of not being able to select the last item in a date picker with Chrome, Android, and iPhone.
Also, we are having the same issue as skitchpatterson3 stated above. Some additional notes on that part:
-The alignment issue does not happen when picking a month.
-Picking a day or year causes the alignment issue.
-Picking a month after the alignment is messed up will fix the alignment of the day but not the year.

根据 and
按照 can both function as a preposition that can be translated as according to. I imagine that the translation does not capture the individual character of each term. What nuances do the two individual terms express and in what situation/context would you use one rather than the other?
Sign up

根据 is more formal, and preferably used when speaking about doing something according to some serious guidelines. Like following a law.
按照 is less formal, and can be used when doing something according to some less serious guide. Like following a person's idea.
According to 现代汉语虚词词典:
根据 - (介词) 介绍得出某种论断的依据。介词短语可以修饰主谓短语。
按照 - (介词) 表示动作行为遵从莫一标准。
So, in actuality, the times when they are completely interchangeable (meaning not just that the sentence would make sense, but that it would also have the same meaning) would appear to be relatively rare, even though they translate to roughly the same thing in English. 按照 introduces a principle or formula according to which an action is carried out, while 根据 introduces the grounds on which some conclusion, decision, or judgement rests.
根据 has more a "by..." feeling in English, which gives a stronger sense of sureness. 按照 has a more "according to..." feeling, which is used more in colloquial setting. But in most cases, these two are interchangeable, but used of 根据 is rare in daily conversation as a preposition (mostly only "据" or "照", e.g. 据/照他说...). Note that 根据 can also be used as a noun, but 按照 cannot. e.g. 这事没有根据 (This thing comes out of thin air).
As a verb, 根据 simply means "based on". For example:
As a noun, 根据 is the "basis of something". For example:
按照 can only be used as a verb. It means "in accordance to/with", or more specifically, "as directed or required by" something, which could be a rule, a tradition, a law, a set of instructions, etc. For example:
As seen from the examples above and contrary to some answers, 按照 can also be used formally and 根据 informally. So, the formality is not really an issue. When used as verbs for the purpose of comparison, 按照 must be followed by a rule or direction, whereas 根据 must be followed by a basis.
If the rule forms the basis of a decision, then 根据 can be used. For example:
No much difference in daily use, but in formal text, 根据 is prefer. And 根据 also can be a noun (example: 你有什么根据?) which means "the reason or source for".
根据 means you can find the rules, ordinance etc in written format or published. 按照 means you may follow some rules, conventions that are not necessarily in written format
One point that has been missed is that 根据 also has the use of "according to [source of information]", e.g.
This use appears frequently in news articles.

The 6 Most Horrific Bosses of All Time
#3. William Bryant and Francis May
William Bryant and Francis May were the owners of the Bryant and May Match Company. For quite a while, if you were a smoker you had Bryant and May matches in your pocket. Also the blood and tears of children.
Why They Were Asshole Bosses:
Look, if you ever have a chance to take a job that requires you to first travel in a time machine to Victorian era England, don't do it. This is Scrooge era here, when filthy children roamed the streets, eating rats and doing adorable song and dance numbers.
So how shitty of a boss did you have to be to become the subject of huge public backlash in those days? Let's examine the Bryant and May method.
First, you hire nothing but young, teenage girls. There were plenty of them around, they had no other opportunities, and they weren't likely to beat you down with lead pipes when they got fed up with your shit. You work them 12 hours a day, and pay them in the neighborhood of four shillings a week (the equivalent of $20... in today's money).
The exact amount Corey Feldman was paid to be in The Lost Boys sequel
Since forcing the workers to scrape by on quite a bit less than what it costs to buy food still wasn't keeping morale quite low enough, they imposed a series of petty fines for a long list of offenses--everything from going to the bathroom without permission, to having dirty feet. When one girl let a machine jam up rather than have it tear off her finger, she was told the machine was more important, dammit, and to never let it happen again. When another girl did get her hand mangled, she was given the boot. Can't make matches one-handed!
However, Bryant and May couldn't help but notice the other match companies were still making more money. What were they doing wrong? Clearly they weren't abusing their employees enough... was there some kind of torture device they could be using? Maybe if they just let wild badgers run loose on the production floor?
They had a better idea. They had been making their matches with the extremely flammable but otherwise safe red phosphorous. But there was this other kind, white phosphorous, that was way cheaper. And there was absolutely no downside.
Oh, except it would literally eat your face off when you handled it.
Seriously. They called the condition phossy jaw. It was caused by breathing the fumes for too long. The symptoms start with toothache, which led to swelling, abscesses and then a putrid discharge caused by your jaw bone actually rotting inside your head.
Then your jaw would actually start to glow green. It fucking glowed. The only treatment was jaw amputation, which had to be done before organ failure killed the victim.
Keep in mind, Bryant and May knew this; white phosphorous matches and the corresponding side effects had been around for decades. The girls at the factory finally went on strike, figuring horrifying deformities were the final straw. The whole "glow in the dark face-rot" won the sympathy of labor activists at the time, and the women eventually won the right to experience something less than David Cronenberg-levels of horror at their workplace.
The Bryant and May company, of course, stayed in business for decades and made its owners huge amounts of money.
#2. Max Blanck and Thomas Harris
Max Blanck and Thomas Harris were the owners and operators of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company, which made lady's blouses. Why blouses are called "shirtwaists" is lost to time, if by "time" you mean us not caring enough to go check. Did they only make the waist part of the shirt? We'll never know.
Why They Were Asshole Bosses:
Blanck and Harris employed an almost entirely female workforce for the same reasons as Bryant and May: young, many of them immigrants, all with nowhere else to go. They paid six or seven dollars a week (again, shit money even in 1909) and when workers walked out demanding better conditions, the pair hired thugs to beat the crap out of them. When the garment workers' union finally came to an agreement with other manufacturers, Blanck and Harris said hell no.
On top of all this, it seems like a minor thing that they also locked one of the main factory exits from the outside, to supposedly prevent theft by employees. Minor, you know, unless there's a fire. But why would there be a fire in a factory full of machines, strips of dry cloth, tissue paper and smokers? Where there had been fires twice before?
On March 25, 1911, the inevitable happened. Some women made it out before one exit filled with smoke and flame. Others made it onto the fire escape, which collapsed. The rest were trapped inside, banging on that locked door, while they were cooked alive.
All told 146 people died, the worst fire in New York history (a record that would stand all the way until 9/11).
Blanck and Harris were charged with manslaughter. Luckily for them they had way more money than the plaintiffs, and they hired Max Steuer, the Johnny Cochran of his day. He tore apart the testimony of the survivors, hinting that the whole thing was a conspiracy by the evil labor unions, and that no one could prove the door was actually locked. Sure, they found the lock in the burned out rubble, still very much in its locked state. But couldn't it have been tampered with? By the unions?
The unions!
Blanck and Harris got off. But Blanck was arrested two years later for--get this-- locking his fucking workers inside another factory. Holy shit!
They had his ass now! Justice would be served! Oh, wait, no. He was fined $20.
But wait! Twenty-three families did successfully sue over the Triangle fire and won... $75 each. So, that's sort of justice, right? That's almost 2,000 bucks right there?
Wait, did we mention that Blanck and Harris filed a claim with their insurance after the fire? And got $60,000?
#1. Henry Loeb
Mayor of Memphis, Tennessee, 1968 - 1971. Unemployed jackass, 1971-?
Why He Was An Asshole Boss:
If there's one thing a city thrives on, it's a rich subculture of homosexual artists who will paint murals on all the downtown buildings. Next in line is the services it provides. And no service is more vital in the sweltering, stanky South than getting the trash off the streets, so you'd think the mayor would want to keep the sanitation workers happy at all costs.
Does this look like the type of man you'd want to cross?
Unfortunately things worked a little different in the late 60s, and things worked way different in Memphis. Especially when the mayor was the white, wealthy Henry Loeb, and the sanitation workers were black.
So, it's one thing to do job that still paid minimum wage after 15 years, and involves picking up trash in a city that didn't require any kind of bags or cans at all, so people could just fling the shit onto the curb as part of their "the negroes will get it" system.
A system supported by many [dirty racists].
But it's another thing to do the job for a boss like Loeb, who layered on one arbitrary rule after another, purely out of dickishness. Workers weren't allowed to stand in the shade of a tree. They got 15 minutes for lunch. But, worst of all, were the trucks; the old, broken-down machines were ridiculously unsafe, as employees told Loeb again and again.
Finally, one of those trucks malfunctioned and crushed two workers to death, pulverizing them into the garbage.
The employees went on strike, and the city council immediately decided that what they had been doing was pretty shitty even by the standards of the late 60s South. They voted to give in to the union's demands, and everyone lived happily ever-
-Oh, wait, no. We forgot about Loeb. Loeb rejected the council's decision, then sent in police to fire mace and tear gas at demonstrators.
At this point the sanitation strike became a national civil rights cause, bringing a certain Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to town, along with tens of thousands of protesters. Loeb declared Martial Law, and brought in 4,000 National Guardsmen.
King addressed the sanitation workers on April 3rd, 1968. That, in fact, is the reason he was still in Memphis the next day, on April 4th, 1968. The day he was assassinated.
Yes, the world is basically one big orchestra of assholes, playing in concert.
Needless to say, in the wake of Dr. King's assassination, Loeb and the city finally gave in to the striker's demands. Then they reneged on the deal, and the workers had to threaten a second strike before Loeb was finally forced to give in, his well of douche having finally run dry.

Thanks to a cooperative agreement between Gordon County and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division, boaters and anglers have a new facility to launch motor boats and canoes on the Oostanaula River. A new ramp was required after a previous ramp, which served the area for four decades, closed in 2007 due to issues of inaccessibility.
"Although the loss of the original ramp was disappointing for area anglers, this new ramp offers an improved design providing a wider ramp, a canoe launch, more parking spaces and easier highway access," says Division Fisheries Management Region Supervisor Wayne Probst.
Gordon County obtained the new property for the area and DNR was able to construct the ramp using a federal sportfish restoration grant.
The new ramp entrance is on the south side of GA Highway 156 approximately five miles west of Calhoun and approximately 1.5 'road miles' west of the old ramp. However, the new ramp is four 'river miles' downstream from the old location due to a large "loop" in the river. This location change better distributes the float distance between the three Oostanaula River ramps. Those wishing to float from the GA Hwy 136 Connector ramp in Calhoun to the new ramp can plan on a 10-mile trip and those wishing to float from the new ramp to the GA Hwy 140 ramp will travel about 14 miles.

The expression "bon courage" has been said to me a lot by my professors.
What does it mean?
I would appreciate example situations in French where this would be appropriate to be used.
The expression "bon courage" has been said to me a lot by my professors.
What does it mean?
I would appreciate example situations in French where this would be appropriate to be used.
"Bon courage" is a fairly general well-wishing expression. It can be used in many contexts where the person being spoken to is about to perform a difficult action.
There is no exact English equivalent. Often, but not always, "good luck" can be used in similar situations. The expression "bonne chance" also exists in French, but far more than in English, it carries the connotation that the person will succeed or fail due to purely external factors. In contrast, "bon courage" implies that success will be due to the person's strength. "Bon courage" also implies some ordeal, some difficulty (though it can be the difficulty of day-to-day life). If there is a genuine ordeal in the person's path then "bon courage" applies. (Note: I'm speaking as a Frenchman, I believe Canadian French uses "bonne chance" more often.)
A few examples:
Linguee has more examples of uses of bon courage with official translations.
My French-speaking friends say «bon courage» when I have some (difficult) work to do and they are leaving me.
In persian it means "خدا قوت" (God's strength). But in English the best word that I found is "Good Luck". An example from my French book:
And when a professor use this expression for your works, it means that "Good jobs" and "Keep going".
That's all.
I'm a native English speaker fluent in French. I tend to use « bon courage » for more general well-wishes. The etymology of « courage » comes from « cœur », or the heart, and I like to think I'm wishing the person strength. That said, I think this is a pretty particular use - the other answers have covered the general stuff wonderfully !
Be of Good Courage! The reluctance to use the word courage in other answers is odd. Perhaps an English equivalent would be "Be of Good Heart" which implies that real courage is to act for reasons of the heart, which is difficult in this world.
"Be of good heart" is correct, remembering that both phrases (French and English) comes from a time when the heart was considered the seat of resolve and impetus, not just romantic passion. Consider the adjective "hearty". Or the song, "you gotta have heart (all you really need is heart)" from Damn Yankees. In English, we now use it mostly for race horses and sports. The French still use it more generally.
Example: last week, as I (middle aged, rotund and female) was chugging slowly up a longish hill on a bike, I answered the "ça va?" of an older gentleman with a laugh and a "so-so" hand signal. He replied, "mais vous êtes courageuse! Bon courage". This wasn't about my "courage" in the sense of fear or doing anything death defying or extreme. It was a "you go, girl," a "thumbs up", a "good for you, you can do it".
In English, we'd say 'Stay strong.'
"May the (inner) force be with you". Inner parce que le courage vient de l'intérieur de soi.
In my mind it translates better as "Lots of luck!" It implies that whatever if you want to do, your chances will be slim. You can also simply say, "Courage!" Like, "Not much hope, but keep trying.".

Why does Software Engineering not have union representation like other professional occupations, such as teaching? Are there any unions for software developers that exist and are successful?

Unions are useful when one person can pretty much do the same job as anybody else with little or no training. By allowing employees to negotiate as a whole, you don't run the risk of employers simply finding the person who'll work the cheapest and driving wages down. (At least, that's the theory.)
For professional fields, when employees require particular skills and you simply can't replace one engineer with someone else with no "penalty". As an engineer, you have much more power to negotiate wages and working conditions on your own, based on your own skills and knowledge.
Interesting question.
We produce a product - code - but we're not like typical unionized laborers. We're also not professionals like doctors and lawyers and accountants. (Can you imagine some hospital administrator demanding that a surgeon work overtime on Saturday - with no extra pay - to push a few more patients through?)
Really, we're highly skilled craftspeople, very similar to medieval stonemasons. The folks who built the great cathedrals of Europe varied tremendously in their abilities and qualifications, and job-hopped quite a bit - and still managed to have a Europe-wide guild. And woe betide the nobleman or bishop who screwed over a master mason... they could just kiss their project good-bye.
I often think we, too, should have a guild - especially when I read so many questions on Stack* relating to software developers being underpaid, having no life due demands to work huge amounts of unpaid overtime, and having to put up with crappy working conditions.
Software Engineers do have a union...
The "Communications and Computer Workers Industrial Union 560" is a department of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or "Wobblies") who work in the electronic communications industry. Their organization is open to workers engaged in computer operation, including programming and networking. See http://www.iww.org/unions/dept500/iu560/
Noam Chomsky is an IWW member.
Somewhat akin to the other answers, but the classic "professional" roles in society (doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc.) have not been unionized. The working class banded together into unions to oppose heavy-handed treatment by management and owners. By collectively demanding a change in their working conditions they were effective where a single person could not be. After the basics were covered (and indeed became the law of the land) the union leadership had to be seen to be doing something of value, other than drawing salaries out of the union dues. This led them to continue to demand more and more concessions from the management and owners, backing up the demands with strike actions when they were not met. Professionals never really dealt with the same issues and there was little or no benefit to joining a union. For creative professionals like software developers the rigid rules of a union where your time in the union counts for more than your skill is anathema to how they want to work. The strongest performers are the most likely to avoid a union; the weaker performers are usually for it because they can hide in the crowd and are guaranteed a minimum employment. Software developers are generally better educated than the average working class person and will ask hard questions like "What do I get in return for my union dues and the restrictions on what I can do?" and if the answers are not compelling they will not sign on.
The software industry lacks unions simply because neither the workers nor management see the need for collective representation. There are obvious reasons why management would rather not see software professionals collectively bargain on work issues such as compensation, working conditions, etc. But software professionals haven't felt enough discomfort in the industry as a whole to take action collectively.
But the larger issue is that software professionals also haven't looked at the collective representation model the same way professionals in other industries have. The American Bar Association could be considered a union for lawyers, as the AMA is for medical doctors, and AIA for architects. Those organizations define the level of professionalism for practices and skillsets that we should model ourselves on to improve the quality of software and working environments.
We must because it's clear the management at your company isn't likely to do it.
I've said this a few times in comments, but I think it merits an answer.
In the UK we do have unions for software engineers/programmers. The primary one is Unite, which has the primary engineering union as a constituent. The sector for computing workers is Graphical, Paper, Media & Information Technology.
The union situation in the UK is complex and now relatively few people are union members because of a lot of power being cut from the unions in the 80s, due to anti-union political policies and a few unions setting a bad example, which allowed the mood for changes.
To stay strong, most of the old unions merged together and have continued to do so for some time. When I was born, most engineers were part of the AEU, the Amalgamated Engineering Union, this merged with the electricians to become the AEEU in 1992. The AEEU merged with the MSF (Management, Science and Finance) union in 2001 to become Amicus. UNIFI (Union for the Finance Industry) and the GPMU (Graphics, Paper and Media Union) merged in to Amicus in 2004, and in 2007 the T & G (Transport and General Workers) merged in and the name was changed to Unite.
There is still strong anti-union feeling in the country, particularly from the professional classes, who mistakenly believe that the primary purpose of the union is to bleed companies dry by forcing up wages and striking. This is not the case. The primary responsibility of a modern union is to protect their workers from malpractice by their employers. This is usually in the form of free legal protection for defending members against illegal working practices, unfair/wrongful dismissal cases, health & safety issues, etc.
For the cost of being a member, the ability to get expert lawyers involved for free on your behalf when the ** hits the fan is a life saver. One of my ex-colleagues is presently taking an old employer to court over unfair dismissal claims. He was always highly anti-union and is now having to pay out an immense amount of money to take highly disreputable people to court who have huge wallets. Bet he wishes he had paid the £10.96 a month.
Most professionals, instead of joining "unions", join pseudo-unions in the form of professional membership bodies. The primary organisation in the UK for programmers is the BCS (The British Computing Society). Becoming a professional member of this body gives a degree of recognition, requires accreditation via exams, and gives post-nominal letters. The body also provides many networking opportunities via a wide variety of groups that meet frequently for talks and discussions. The organisation is also has Royal Charter, so can issue Chartered status to IT professionals, or indeed engineers as they can award the Chartered Engineer status. I believe there are equivalent organisations in the US and other domains.
Many professions also have regulatory bodies, which are usually compulsory membership and function like unions in part. Doctors in the UK have to be registered with the General Medical Council (GMC), and are usually members of the medical union, the British Medical Association (BMA). So it is not only teachers that are professionals and unionised.
To summarise, joining a union is possible for programmers and is highly advisable unless you have total blind faith that your working career will always be free from any potential legal situation. It is not all about the masses against the classes, it is just common sense to protect yourself and the family that depend upon your job.
Software Engineers don't like the restrictions on their freedom that unions bring about, and they tend to be more individualistic. They would like to get paid on their ability, not the same rate as every other developer. If they were Union they'd be stuck where they were if they had the usual defined benefits plan, unlike a 401K that they can move around without penalty; and Software Engineers probably tend to have job changes more due to the nature of project work, with each project having the potential to be quite different that the others.
Once Software Engineering gets more ho-hum and standardized, then you'll probably see more Unions involved.
TL;DR No unions because its not in the interests of everyone else.
There are some organisations for software developers globally, and in each country. They all share one characteristic. What do Professional bodies for software development like, IEEE CS,ACM, BCS, and ACS have in common: no regulatory powers. Not a coincidence. Don't want another Bar Association starting up. Programming is essential to the world but arrived as a job after the other professionals had already carved out their regulatory powers.
As Software Development is not regulated anywhere in the world, it is not a Licensed profession. Most developers have university educations and are culturally disinclined to join unions.
(I'm going to use the term software development instead of software engineering from a desire to avoid the whole what is software engineering issue)
There is an interesting piece of game theory going on too:
Young developers out of school take low paying positions to get work. Employers use the threat of getting in cheaper replacements to hold down salaries.
There is also a supply of discipline-crossers like Physicists, Electronic engineers and the like who will work in software development if they can get paid. Over production of EE's, Physicists and Mathematicians supply more cheap labour. ('Regular' engineering doesn't pay particularly well, and even being a PE isn't cost effective [check Job vacancies for PE positions and see the differential in pay against non-PE].)
Now this is not true in many other professions, as they are generally Licensed like regular engineering, Law and Medicine, for example: Lawyers don't have to worry about firms getting in Philosophers. (Junior law is a snake-pit though....)
Most western countries also have a special class of Visa for non permanent residents with Software skills. This is generally pushed by large firms in the country who want cheaper overseas developers. (Large corporates claim persistently there is a shortage, but this doesn't seem to be backed up by, for example by the US census data.)
Now, the Bar Association might have an issue if a special Visa was created for importing cheaper lawyers. This is not as absurd as it sounds, as Medical Doctors from most countries have to re-qualify to practice in many countries they might migrate to. So it seems like our professional friends manage that a bit better than us independent minded software developers.
So there are many downwards pressures on salaries.
Lets do a thought experiment. Suppose there was a global Professional body for software development. We're going to try to consider a situation where no software developer loses out. Not out of niceness, just because the jobs would all move to wherever the organisation wasn't. It might perhaps have a de-facto membership: if you develop software , you're a member. Lets suppose that instead of trying to get any country to stop importing labour, they just set rates that were global. The set rates would have to be ample for people in expensive, wester nations.
Obviously our brethren in the developing world would be very very happy. Happier than a Bangalore senior programmer. (and that used to be pretty happy IIRC.)
Now all software developers are happy. Who would be unhappy?
The Physicists and EE's and Mathematicians would be happy. ( They'd be software developers)
But individuals and business globally would pay a lot more for software. They'd be unhappy. Where is software used ? Everywhere in the world economy, there is software.
If such an organisation existed, it'd be banned immediately. ( in most "right thinking" countries. ;))
It is, I think an isomorphic issue to "too big to fail." : Too useful to allow collective bargaining.
Software developers are victims of 1) their own success 2) their penchant for undercutting each other. "The old rooster cage" argument.
Depends where you live - in Australia there is the Australian Computer Society. When I was at Uni they talked to us about joining, but I don't really see the value in joining - from memory it was pretty pricey to be a part of.
What do you want to get out of the union?
About the only "professional" job that's unionized, at least in the U.S., is teaching - and that's because they're public employees. Unions damage the companies they infest and make them uncompetitive - which harms the employees too. Unless your employer is a monopoly (e.g. the government) or part of an oligopoly (e.g., the auto companies), the union can't actually improve wages or working conditions. Programmers tend to be smart people, and see this.

Nice set of tool bits...
Really no big deal. It's all screwdriver bits. Sets like these are $20 and under everywhere.
Took me 10 seconds to find. Plenty of 50-60 pc sets for ~$15 too. How many square headed bits does one person need?
You are saying that $19.99 for this CRAFTSMAN set is not really a deal?
I am not comparing it to Ryobi, Home Depot, Lowes, etc...
This deal is for a CRAFTSMAN set of accessories, and for this brand I consider this a deal.
If you can find a better price for this specific CRAFTSMAN set within 10 seconds, please post a link. :-)
Pardon me for insulting your killer deal on some tools you think are a god send. Craftsman is dime a dozen stuff these days man. It's absolutely NO better than the Lowes/Home Depot brand. And all carry the same warranty. Sorry to rain on your parade, but its what the brand has become.
Firebirdude, don't worry... I'm not taking it an insult your opinion of this deal.
Everyone has an opinion.
It's just your opinion is about the quality and price of other brands vs Craftsman, and not about the deal for this Craftsman set.
This deal is for the Craftsman 100 piece accessories.
It is not for a Lowes accessory set,
It is not for a Ryobi accessory set.
It is not for a Home Depot accessory set.
It is for a Craftsman accessory set. That's all that you need to know.
Unnecessary comparisons to other items does not negate the fact that this is a good deal for the Craftsman accessory set.
I appreciate your comments as readers will realize by now that I'm talking about Craftsman tools.
Have a good day!
I bought this set at Kmart around Christmas this year when they were on sale for $15 it is a nice set has about every bit you will need. and the tips don't eat up like a lot of bits ive used before.
Was this ever a $19.99 deal? The Sears site says it is now (0200 25Jul13) a $29.99 deal, and that's no particular bargain.
@ncb1235: I looked at the link last night, probably around 10 or so it and showed 19.99
It's coming up now as 29.99 for me as well...
@jlowrance: A few years ago I would have agreed with you 100%. However every time I walk into Sears I find that more and more CRAFTSMAN tools are made in China or Taiwan. I expect that these are made over there. If these are made in east Asia along with the Home Depot, Lowes, Ryobi, etc... what makes these more valuable? Lowe's and Home Depot both do lifetime exchange on their hand tools as well.
The tools sold at lowes and home depot are made by sears.
@chknchkr: I would have to say that is most likely not the case, as Sears doesn't make many tools any more for themselves. With most of their production having gone to China and Taiwan - and more going there all the time - they arguably are hardly making anything any more. It may be that the Chinese company that makes the Craftsman tools are also stamping for Kobalt (Lowe's) and Husky (Home Depot) but that doesn't mean that Sears is "making" any of those three.

It has been said that there is evidence of a church on the existing site for over a thousand years. The place name of Littleton is of Saxon origin, "ton" being Anglo-Saxon for a farmstead, and later a village. An entry in the Domesday Book implies that there was a church at Littleton in Saxon times, and that it was one of the nine churches in the Manor of Chilcombe, itself a gift of the Minster at Winchester in 635 from the Saxon King of Wessex, Cynegils. However although the present building could be said still to resemble in size and shape the churches built by the Saxons, restoration has been so extensive that there are no longer any traces of Saxon work in it
On 6 January 1171 Henri de Blois, Bishop of Winchester, ordered under charter that "the appropriations of churches to the Sacrist and the Hospitallers of Jerusalem shall continue as they have been assigned'. . . . .the church of Littletone for the reception of guests. . . . ." In practice this meant that revenues from the church were due to the Guestmaster at St. Swithun's Priory, who used them for the entertainment of guests, including pilgrims to St. Swithun's shrine. Supplies of grain, stock, poultry and dairy products from the Manor of Littleton were also delivered regularly to St. Swithun's, and recorded in the accounts of the manorial reeve. This order was confirmed by Pope Innocent III in 1205 and again by Pope Innocent IV in 1243. It seems that by this time Littleton was no longer part of the manor of Chilcombe, and that the Bishop of Winchester had retained the patronage. The Black Death first visited England in 1348 and brought with it great hardship and inevitably smaller numbers of survivors to cultivate the land. Plague struck Littleton in 1364 and parishioners failed to pay their manorial dues as a result. In March 1373 Bishop William Wykeham licensed John Hyde, the Monk-Guestmaster of St. Swithun's Priory "to hear confessions and administer the Eucharist at Littleton during Lent and Easter because, owing to depression of the times, the parishioners could not afford a chaplain". This licence was renewed annually until 1379. The plague also meant that there was a severe shortage of clergy.
Following the upheaval of the Reformation, the Manor of Littleton was granted by Letters Patent Henry VIII in 1541 to the Dean and Chapter of Winchester Cathedral.
Chaplains, and later perpetual curates. were nominated by the Prior before the dissolution of the monasteries and afterwards by the Dean and Chapter, and licensed by the Bishop. The first vicar, the Rev. A.G. Garland, was appointed in 1871. On 6 July 1909 the London Gazette recorded the exchange of the patronage of the benefice of Hunton for that of Littleton, and then Littleton was joined to Crawley with the first Rector of the united parishes being appointed in 1918. By the late 1980s the Rector had also been appointed Vicar of St. Stephen's at Sparsholt with Lainston, reflecting the shortage of clergy, yet opening the way for greater community of worship among the three parishes.
The church is dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria, Virgin and Martyr, although there have been earlier references - in 1886, for example, after the restoration - to St. Mary, meaning to St. Mary Magdalen. The legend surrounding St. Catherine is both well known and unsubstantiated. She is said to have defied the emperor Maxentius' efforts to break down her faith: an unsuccessful attempt was made to destroy her on a spiked wheel (the catherine wheel). This is thought to have happened in 307 AD., and a corpse discovered on Mount Sinai early in the 9th. century was regarded as hers after it had been carried there by angels following her death.

When's the earliest time one can make an Eiruv Tavshilin on erev yom tov?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
With regards to the earliest you can make the Eruv on Erev Yom Tov (your actual question), The Nitei Gavriel (Laws of Yom Tov II 81:10) says you can even make it the whole day, even in the morning (meaning not the night before). In the footnotes he explains none of the earlier authorities address this issue, but it appears that it is better to wait till morning. See there for more sources and information.
If you did do it earlier than Erev Yom Tov, he quotes The Shulchan Aruch Harav (527:2) as having said you've fulfilled your obligation (Bedi'eved), but should do it again without a blessing.
A little more depth:
The Talmud (Beitzah 15B) gives us two reasons why we make an Eruv Tavshillin, brought here:
In the Shulchan Aruch Harav (527:2), he brings practical halachic differences between the two reasons. If you want to impress on people the importance of Yom Tov, you could make the Eruv Tavshillin weeks in advance (assuming the cooked food will survive), and one Eruv could be made for many Yomim Tovim.
If however, you want to impress on people the importance of Shabbat, you must make the Eruv only on right before the holiday, and only for that holiday. Otherwise, you won't be remembering the importance of Shabbat.
Therefore, you should really only make the Eruv before Yom Tov, and only for that Yom Tov.
If you did make an Eruv a while before (intending it to cover this Yom Tov), and you forgot to make another Eruv before the Chag, you've can rely on the first Eruv you made. However, if you remember before Yom Tov you should make a new Eruv or take the old Eruv and say "With this I will be able to cook...", but don't make the blessing.
Lchatchila the Eruv should be made on Erev Yom Tov - anytime starting from the night before (Orach Chaim 527:14). According to the Biur Halacha the food used in the eruv should preferably have been baked or cooked on Erev Yom Tov.
If it was made earlier - Lchatchila he should make another one without a Bracha on Erev Yom Tov (Orach Chaim 527:13). Bdieved it can be made earlier so long it is done with a food item that will last and it should be done without a Bracha and a Tenai (Minchas Aharon 1 Siman 145)
See that Kitzur Yalkut Yosef in סימן תקכז - הלכות עירובי תבשילין that one should do it during the 24 hours of Erev Yom Tov.
If one does it earlier, one should redo it - but without a Bracha. However if one did not redo it, it is still valid.
He goes so far as to say one can use the Erev Tavshilin of Rosh Hashana for Sukkoth, if one had that intention; though it's not a recommended practice.

Can anyone provide a proof of the following inequality? If $n$ is a positive integer, $n\geq2$, then $$\cos(n) \leq 1 - 2^{-n}.$$ This is satisfied if $n$ is not within about $2^{-n/2}$ of a multiple of $2\pi$.
This inequality is sufficient for something else I am trying to prove but I and others have been unable to prove it.
