You notice a stop-light ahead of you and it is currently red. You can't run the red light, so you will have to brake, but braking wastes energy and you want to be as fuel efficient as possible. What braking strategy maximizes efficiency?
Let's set down some notation and move slowly toward a well-defined question. Suppose you are currently a distance $d$ from the stop-light, and suppose that the stop-light is on a timer whereby it switches from red to green after $T$ seconds. You know the value of $T$, but you don't know how far in the cycle the stop-light is right now -- perhaps it will turn green in 1 second or perhaps in $T$ seconds. So if $t$ is the amount of time until it actually turns green, then $t$ is a random variable uniformly distributed on $[0,T]$.
Your initial speed is $v$, so that if you don't slow down you'll be at the light in $\frac{d}{v}$ seconds. If $t<\frac{d}{v}$ then ``you win" by not slowing down, because the light will turn green before you get to it and you will have lost no energy to heat. So if $T\leq\frac{d}{v}$ then clearly the best strategy is not to slow down. Thus we may suppose $T>\frac{d}{v}$. We assume no friction.
I'm looking for a strategy for applying the brake minimally, not knowing the status of the stop-light's cycle. Perhaps we apply the brakes uniformly to end up stopped at the light, or perhaps we do not apply the brakes at all until we are almost to the stop-light, or perhaps we apply the brakes at the very beginning and coast at that reduced speed until we get very close to the light. What strategy minimizes the expected brake usage?
More precisely, I'm looking for a non-increasing differentiable function (for the car's velocity in terms of its distance to the stop-light) $$f\colon[0,d]\to{\mathbb R}_{\geq 0}$$ such that $f(d)=v$, $f(0)=0$, and such that if you solve the differential equation to find velocity in terms of time, then the expected value of that velocity at time $t$ is maximized.

optional sychronous function call (for unit testing with less line noise)
Is there an easy way to call an Ext.Direct method synchronously? In general I have no need for this but it would make automated testing of my remote method api easier/more straightforward ...
I'd like to be able to write something like Ext.Direct.synchronous_call(app.rpc.server_func, server_func_callback, other_args...)
and have the 'synchronous_call' method call not return until after the asynchronous callback has executed ... I'd tolerate some kind of ugly console output on each such call warning not to use this method except for testing purposes so that it doesn't encourage people to misuse synchronous methods in their browser applications ... Thoughts?
17 Aug 2012 8:23 AM #2
Not sure if that would fit your bill but take a look at Perl module RPC::ExtDirect::Client. I wrote it exactly for the purpose of server API testing, except that I prefer to do it on the server as well.
17 Aug 2012 4:08 PM #3
Thanks for the heads up -- but I'm not a big perl person and trying to integrate my 'remote api' testing with the rest of my client application testing ...
I'm using the jasmine javascript testing library (which is great i must say!) I just made my own 'synchronous_call' helper function which keeps the testcases relatively clean (coffeescript below)
sync_call = (async_method, args, callback, test_case) ->
latch = false
async_args = null
# modified callback with 'latch' (to capture when its been run) and to capture the arguments passed
# to the async_call for future testing by the test function
mod_callback = () ->
latch = true
async_args = arguments
runs ->
async_method args, mod_callback
waitsFor( () -> latch)
runs( () -> test_case(async_args) )
And an example call:
args = {'a': 12}
sync_call app.remote.Action.func, args, Ext.emptyFn, (response) ->
# test case executed after ext direct function returns

Mrs. Antoinette Talevi
Co-owner of furniture store
Antoinette was born on Oct. 22, 1920, in Naugatuck, to James and Vicenza (Jennie) Nardello, the third of six children. She married Frank Talevi in 1940 and had three children, Joyce, David and Lori, all of whom were raised in Naugatuck. Frank and Antoinette were the owners of Talevi's Furniture in Naugatuck, where Antoinette worked as the store's buyer and interior designer. Later, the couple owned Avenue Cleaners in Naugatuck and Village Fabric Care in Seymour.
Mrs. Talevi was a communicant of St. Francis Church and then a founding member of St. Vincent Ferrer Church, where she sang in the choir with her four sisters until she was 85. Antoinette was also a member of the Daughters of Isabella and the Christopher Columbo Ladies' Auxiliary. She travelled extensively, especially to be with her son and his family at Sea-Vu Campgrounds in Wells, Maine.
Antoinette was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. Her home was warm and welcoming, and she created a sense of peace and happiness wherever she was.
Antoinette lives on through her daughter, Lori Talevi Ferreira; her daughter-in-law, Elaine Talevi; her sister, Jane Curina; and through her grandchildren, Thomas Waite, Janna Waite, David Talevi and his wife, Molly, Jason Talevi and his wife, Lee, and John Ferreira. She also leaves four great-grandchildren, Jack, Olivia, Brandon and Eva Frankie Talevi. Her family considers it an honor and a blessing that Antoinette was a part of their lives for so many wonderful years.
Antoinette is predeceased by her husband, Frank Talevi, her daughter, Joyce Talevi, her son, David Talevi, and her grandson, Richard Waite, as well as by her sisters, Evelyn Wolcin, Helene (Sis) Masone, Adele Scholan, and her brother, James Nardello. Her family that survives her is comforted that she has so many loving relatives waiting for her in heaven.
The funeral will be held on Saturday, Dec. 29, 2012, at 9:15 a.m. from the Buckmiller Brothers Funeral Home, 26 Waterbury Road, Route 69, Prospect, to St. Vincent Ferrer Church, 1006 New Haven Road, Naugatuck, for a Mass at 10 a.m. Burial will be in St. James Cemetery in Naugatuck. Calling hours will be held at the funeral home on Friday, Dec. 28, 2012, from 4 to 7:30 p.m.

" I have to say--it was quite a unique experience and pleasure to meet and get to know Mimi. It was probably the first month of knowing her that I was given instructions on how to belly dance. The first year I did her hair--she was very cognitive and full of life. We shared stories although hers seemed somehow much more interesting. Seeing her every week also gave me the opportunity to meet her daughter Lori that i shared many interesting conversations with. I'm so happy she made the trip to Maine this year for her last visii\t with her extended family. God Bless you Antoinette--rest in peace---I'll miss you! Pam "

I want to create Fedora 14 live CD with additional packages. How to do it?
First get the default all installed and your USB device booting. Then boot it up, and modify it however you like. It should retain any changes.
To author a new CD iso, you would have to look into building the entire distro yourself which is considerably more complicated. Since your subject line and tags include usb, I assume that's what your actually after.
I note my application is slightly difference in that I am creating installation media and not a livecd, but some of this is likely to apply.
You will need to use the tool createrepo to alter the repodata on the CD. To have them preinstalled you will probably need a kickstart file - ks.cfg, and you will need the isolinux.cfg file to pass ks=...ks.cfg location to the kernel on boot (in an append line).
Make sure you have a VM to try out your ISO's on, before turning it loose on real machines - it'll take a few attempts to get right. With the kickstart file you can set usernames, passwords, packages as well as have post installation scripts in bash or python.
As others have suggested, you need to build your custom Fedora ISO using kickstart preloaded with your rpm packages of choice. Adding packages is as simple as appending them to your kickstart file. After that open the stock Fedora ISO using ISO master, replace the kickstart file and save the new ISO as a different file. The final step is to install the new ISO onto your USB the way you normally do.

I was planning on installing a new Linux distribution and I am thinking of trying GNOME 3 interface. Other than Fedora 16 (which has GNOME 3 as default) which other distro supports it? I know it can be installed from the repository, but I tried the GNOME 3 on OpenSuse and had hard time running it; it never really integrated fully. So would be good to know what distro supports GNOME 3 seamlessly.
Any other distro than Fedora and Mint linux? (Not so keen on Mint so looking for others)

If Movie Characters Didn't Make Horrible Decisions
If you lived in a universe of movie characters you would probably be bored to tears by the daily monster attacks and underdog miracles and high speed chases (though on the plus side, Social Security and pension funds wouldn't be in crisis because nobody ever reaches retirement).
This begs the question: Since people go to the movies to escape their ordinary lives, what kind of movies would movie characters want to watch? What crazy stories would boggle their minds?
#9. Disciplinary Action
When supersoldier Joseph Ramirez is sent alone on a special mission to take down the entire Iranian army, he is mowed down in a hail of gunfire. His superiors are forced to face an outraged nation and scores of disciplinary hearings asking them why on earth they thought this would be a good idea.
#8. Magic Doesn't Work
Lacey was everything to Brian. When a car accident takes her life, he vows to bring her back, risking his life to discover a forbidden occult ritual that will bring her back from the dead. He is warned that tampering with the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead could bring great evil into the world, and that what comes back to him will no longer be his wife. When nothing actually happens, Brian is at a loss, until he remembers magic doesn't exist. Realizing he has let his grief make him stupid, he finally accepts Lacey's death, enabling him to get on with his life.
#7. The Downward Spirals
When washed-up ex-con Harry Stedman is brought in to manage a Little League team of misfits and outcasts, nobody thinks they'll get anywhere, which turns out to be a pretty reasonable assumption. They lose every game of the season, becoming more and more demoralized as teammates quit one by one and Stedman relapses into alcoholism.
#6. Steady Justice
Terence Barnes had everything: a perfect job, a lovely wife and two happy, healthy children. When they are brutally murdered, as families often are, Barnes refuses to rest until he has gone to the police, given a statement and fully cooperated with police and prosecutors.
In an unexpected twist ending, the murderers are caught and convicted, due to an overwhelming amount of evidence.
#5. Routine Flight Delay
When an ordinary flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles is delayed due to bad weather, the passengers find themselves trapped together in the cabin with no end in sight. As passengers' find their possessions mysteriously disappearing, suspicion grows that one of them is up to no good.
Later, they discover that their things had rolled under one of the seats, because the floor is uneven.
As the passengers wait out the delay, they began to discover disturbing things about each other. For example, Lindsay appears to be an ordinary flight attendant, but her plastic smile and distant behavior gradually lead passengers to suspect she is in fact an ordinary flight attendant.

Your Pregnancy Diet
In This Article:
Vitamins and minerals
In pregnancy, you need to ensure a rich supply of vitamins and minerals, since these are important for your own health and for your developing baby. They support the healthy functioning of body systems and contain antioxidants, which protect the body against the effects of harmful chemicals called free radicals. Good sources of the most important vitamins and minerals are given below. As long as you eat a varied diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, you should be getting all you need, with a couple of exceptions. It can be hard to get enough iron in your diet to meet the demands of pregnancy. Your iron levels will be checked during pregnancy and supplements may be recommended. You'll also need a folic acid supplement before conceiving and in early pregnancy.
Vitamin A
This is important for healthy eyes, skin, and hair; it's found in orange fruit and vegetables, such as apricots, peppers, carrots, and tomatoes.
Vitamin B
This contributes to the healthy functioning of body systems, and helps the body fight infection. Good sources include bananas, milk, whole grains, cheese, and cabbage.
Vitamin C
This aids the absorption of iron and helps fight infection. Rich sources include citrus fruits, kiwis, peppers, broccoli, and spinach.
Vitamin D
This helps the absorption of calcium. Food sources include eggs and dark leafy green vegetables, and it is also obtained from sunlight. Women with limited exposure to sunlight, who are housebound, predominantly covered when outdoors, or from Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, or the Caribbean should take a 10 mg vitamin D supplement daily.
Vitamin E
This vitamin contains antioxidants and keeps skin, hair, and muscles healthy. Good sources of vitamin E include nuts and seeds.
Folate and folic acid
Studies have shown that sufficient amounts of the B vitamin folic acid, or its natural form folate, can help reduce the risk of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, by up to 50 percent. In these defects, the embryonic neural tube fails to close properly during the first four weeks of pregnancy, leading to incomplete development of the brain and spinal cord. Folate helps the neural tube close and pregnant women are advised to eat a folate-rich diet. Foods high in folate include green leafy vegetables, legumes; and fortified cereals. It may not be possible to get sufficient folate through diet alone, so women are also advised to take a folic acid supplement of 400 micrograms before conception and during the first trimester.
This is needed for hemoglobin production in red blood cells. Sources include meat, fish, chicken, eggs, dried apricots, spinach, and broccoli.
This is essential for healthy bones and teeth. Sources include dairy products, eggs, fortified cereals, and leafy green vegetables.
This helps maintain a healthy immune system. Sources include seafood and nuts.

How should I explain death to a child under 5-6 years old if a close family member or friend dies?
Great question.
I can't answer what you should tell your child, as that is largely dependent on your beliefs, but can try and give you some pointers on how you could talk to your child.
Whatever it is you belief, we found it helped us to talk to our son (5 at the time) in as simple and direct terms possible, and to not be overly emotional ourselves. Of course you want to be warm, empathic and comforting, and can share (and show) that you're sad, but we tried to stay as level as possible.
We also tried to emphasize that it is simply a part of life: everything is born (or made), has a certain lifespan, and then dies (or breaks). We drew parallels to animals, plants, toys, cars etc.
Then we tried to give some thought to the good times we shared, and that we should be thankful for the time we had with the person, and try to hold on to those good memories in our sadness.
Finally, we acknowledged that it was not fair (the death was somewhat premature) and that it was ok to be angry about it - but that that wouldn't change the fact that the person was gone and that we shouldn't let that taint our memories of the person.
Add to this whatever beliefs you hold about life and death that you wish to share (side note: my wife and I belief different things, so we explained this to our son and explained both our beliefs - he decided he liked my wife's better and is sticking with that for now).
The above is what we thought of as age appropriate for our son, and I would simplify for younger children.
Hope that helps!
To add to @Korneel's answer:
After starting to understand death's permanence, our daughter became very worried about my wife and I dying.
The most important things we've stressed to her about it is that:
These conversations can be tough! Here are a few books on the subject:

For one night, and most of one day if you happened upon the parking lots, Parrothead Nation took over the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, as Jimmy Buffett's annual beach party of Caribbean-themed rockin' 'n' reeling provided a sellout throng of 20,000 with the soundtrack for a hedonistic frolic/communal catharsis.
Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band performed roughly 27 songs over their 2 hours 15 minutes on stage, and if that tally is approximate, it's only because of several artful medleys which combined songs. Since guitarist Peter Mayer's son Brendan is fresh out of Boston University--with a history degree, like Buffett, as the singer gleefully noted--he joined the Coral Reefers for about a third of the night, including debuting his own tune, "Something to Say.". That swelled the Coral Reefers' ranks to twelve, and the musical arrangements, anchored by longtime keyboardist Michael Utley, Peter Mayer, and Mac McAnally on guitars, were superb all night, as was the sound mix. If anything, after not hearing a Buffett show for a few years, we were surprised at how hard many tunes rocked--the rendition of the Grateful Dead classic "Scarlet Begonias" was as torrid and visceral as that tune has ever sounded.
But if the overall production is first class and a well-oiled machine, the fulcrum is still the man himself, barefoot in blue shorts and a purple tee shirt, but with his baritone in fine form and clearly enjoying his return to Mansfield. Buffett's relaxed song introductions and vignettes about past concerts at the former Great Woods gave the whole night the atmosphere of a family reunion. At this point, the convening of Parrothead Nation is much like a traveling circus, and Buffett is an affable ringmaster, still amused at his fans' antics and grateful for their support.
It's become a tradition in recent years for Buffett's video screens to show fans from the parking lot pre-show revelry, and last night's choices were typically wacky, from the man with the shirt reading "they said I could only have one!" as he stood by a washtub-sized cocktail glass, to the lady in the bikini who helpfully flashed the camera. We actually walked in behind a fellow wearing a shark-fin hat, a grass skirt, and nothing else, save the arm tattoo that told you he was 'Dom.'
Buffett, 67,� has become one of the music world's most beloved concert acts in part because he knows what the fans want to hear; hence the core group of eight songs you're almost certain to hear at every show, like "Cheeseburger in Paradise," "Come Monday," "Son of a Son of A Sailor" and so on. But Saturday's show also included some tasty covers, from a rollicking take on James Taylor's "Mexico," to Zac Brown's "Free" with its diversion into Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic."� By this time of course, Stephen Stills' "Southern Cross" is such a Buffett concert staple, with such a perfectly apt sailing storyline, it almost seems more like a Buffett tune.
Buffett has also become a popular guy for today's generation of country stars, and a few have seemed to adopt (or hijack) his Caribbean beach party persona (we're looking at you, Kenny Chesney). But those songs and duets have allowed Buffett to attract a whole generation of fans--we were surprised at the percentage of college age fans Saturday night--and now 2007's collaboration with Alan Jackson, "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" has earned a slot in the core repertoire--and was last night's first encore.
But the most salient thing about Buffett is just that he is such a brilliant lyricist, whose early work was much more country-folk, before the whole beach party thing took off. Back in those days, when he was playing the old Paul's Mall on Boylston Street, it was both the poignance of a tune like "Come Monday," and the wit behind country-tearjerker-parodies like "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, And I Don't Love Jesus" that set Buffett apart. Even his biggest hit, and musical signature, "Margaritaville," is, at root, a classic lost-love country ballad, with an appealing dose of self-deprecating humor, and the kind of steel-drums flavor that gives it a life-affirming air.
Buffett has a real affinity for this area, ("thanks Don Law" he said at one point), and whether he was adding a "Dirty Water" snippet to "We Are the People Our Parents Warned Us About" or dedicating "A Pirate Looks at Forty" to a late Nantucket buddy, Johnny Krebs, his affection was palpable.
Favorite moment: during a raucous "Fins," Buffett was so busy making shark motions with his arms at fans at stage right, he realized suddenly he was too far away to get back to his mike for the next verse. Mac McAnally jumped in and sang the line as a laughing Buffett rushed over too late. It was that kind of night, great songs, a terrific big band, warm feelings abounding, and plenty of goofy fun.

Kim, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie's Sexy, Stylish Thailand Vacation Photo Album
Courtesy Kim Kardashian
The Kardashian krew is in Thailand filming right now, which they are celebrating in a variety of ways, mostly related to clothing and/or lack thereof. For instance, in this photo, Kim Kardashian is demonstrating the proper way to enter a Thai temple (shoes off, shoulders and knees covered), as she notes with the caption "#etiquette." She also provided a full-body shot (below) which she noted signified her "#enlightenment."
While Kim was attaining a higher plane of consciousness, her sisters were demonstrating their joy at being in paradise by posing in a variety of swimsuits. Below, check out their vacation photo album, and share thoughts in the comments!
Khloe Kardashian looks ready to star in an '80s music video in her high-cut one-piece and sassy captain's hat.
Kendall Jenner catches up on two of our favorite vacation staples: Lots of rest and plenty of food. ("4th bowl today" she captioned the photo of her mango sticky rice.)
Kylie Jenner showed off faux tattoos, a high-waisted bikini, a new beauty look and what we feel like would be kind of an uncomfortable ride on an elephant.

NEW YORK — Same store sales at Bed Bath & Beyond could be in for a nice bump if a pricy new hair removal product becomes popular with shoppers.
The home and housewares retailer said it will carry the Silk'n Flash & Go hair removal device, manufactured by Home Skinovations, at all its U.S. and Canadian locations. The device, which retails for $299, is designed to remove hair on the face and body, including sensitive spots such as the upper lip and bikini area. Ergonomically designed, the device contends that it can remove hair permanently.
"We are very excited to be expanding into all Bed Bath & Beyond locations in Canada and the U.S.," said Moshe Mizrahy, CEO for Home Skinovations. "This chain-wide expansion represents the successful culmination of a series of tests throughout the territories. The commitment of Bed Bath & Beyond to the Silk'n brand is a definitive sign that the at home permanent hair removal category is a hit with consumers."
The product will also be available on the Bed Bath & Beyond's Web site.

Hi all. If n>m and I have a continuous map from an n-sphere to an m-sphere, is there a simple way to see whether the map is homotopic to a constant? (For example, is it if and only if the map is not onto? -- this would be probably too simple). For n=m, the answer is "nonzero degre" -- is there a reasanable generalisation of "degree" to different dimensions? Can you recommend me some literature about it? Thanks, Peter
The set of maps $S^n \to S^m$ is better known as $\pi_n(S^m)$. The one other (than n=m) relatively easy case is when we tensor by the rational numbers (and thus answer the question "when is f homotopic to g after adding each to itself some number of times?). The answer in this case is they are always homotopic if m is odd or if m is even and $n \neq 2m - 1$. If $m$ is even and $n = 2m-1$ then $f$ and $g$ are homotopic in this weak sense if and only if they both have non-trivial (or both have trivial) classical Hopf invariant.
Every map from a sphere to a finite connected CW complex is homotopic to a surjective one. Collapse one half of the sphere to a line segment, use your original map on the sphere created by the collapse, and map the segment surjectively onto the complex (which can be done by the Hahn-Mazurkowicz Theorem).

I already have a table which consists of data. I need to alter table to add two new columns which are not null. How can I do that without losing any existing data?
Here's what I tried (via right-clicking the table and selecting Design):
Added new columns 'EmpFlag' (bit, null), 'CreatedDate' (datetime, null)
Updated 'EmpFlag' column in the table, to have some valid values. (Just wanted to work on one field, so I didn't update 'CreatedDate' field)
Now right clicked table, design, and made it not null.
When I tried to save, this error message appeared:

Robert Smalls and The Planter
150 years ago yesterday, May 13, 1862, around 3:00 am, Beaufort's native son, Robert Smalls, a slave owned by John McKee, planned, executed, and piloted The Planter, a converted cotton steamer, through Confederate lines surrounding Charleston Harbor to the U.S.S. Onward, a federal ship and surrendered the vessel.
Admiral Samuel Francis DuPont was very favorably impressed and wrote the following to U.S. Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles:
"This man, Robert Smalls, is superior to any who has yet come into our lines, intelligent as many of them have been. His information has been most interesting, and portions of it of utmost importance.... I shall continue to employ Robert as a pilot on board The Planter for inland waters."

Produced by Disney Television Animation, the series premiere will air between two brand new episodes of the hit animated series "Phineas and Ferb."
"Kick Buttowski – Suburban Daredevil" follows Clarence "Kick" Buttowski, an extraordinary kid living in the world's most ordinary town. Determined to become the world's greatest daredevil, Kick rebels against the mundane and knows that when life throws him an obstacle, his only choice is to jump it. Small in stature but big in heart, Kick makes the most out of his suburban surroundings by devising such stunts as riding down Dead Man's Drop on an ironing board or racing the school bus with a soda-powered jet pack. If one of his stunts goes awry, Kick responds with his customary "I'm good!" then picks himself up and tries it again. Aided by his loyal sidekick, Gunther, Kick takes on every stunt with unwavering enthusiasm.
Leading up to the premiere, DisneyXD.com will launch a "Kick Buttowski – Suburban Daredevil" show page featuring action-packed games, activities and videos, including "Loco Launch-o," a high energy game where users help Kick perform the ultimate daredevil jump. Beginning Saturday, February 13, kids can create their own Kick Buttowski catch phrase by submitting their favorite saying customized with a selection of backgrounds, props, sound effects and graphics; some of the catch phrases may be selected to appear on-air.
"This series embodies the new Disney XD brand. It delivers the perfect mix of action and comedy that our audience wants," said Eric Coleman, Senior Vice President, Original Series, Disney Television Animation.
"Kick Buttowski – Suburban Daredevil" stars Charlie Schlatter ("Kim Possible," "Loonatics Unleashed") as Clarence "Kick" Buttowski; Matt L. Jones ("Breaking Bad") as Gunther; Danny Cooksey ("Tiny Toon Adventures," "Dave the Barbarian") as Brad; John DiMaggio ("Futurama," "Chowder") as Mr. Vickle and Eric Christian Olsen ("Brothers & Sisters") as Wade.
The series was created by Sandro Corsaro and is executive-produced and directed by Chris Savino. "Kick Buttowski – Suburban Daredevil" is produced by Disney Television Animation. It carries a TV-Y7 parental guideline.
Full episode previews will be available free of charge on iTunes beginning Friday, January 29 and via Disney XD VOD beginning Friday, February 5. The series will air regularly on Saturday mornings at 8:30 a.m. ET/PT. Following the linear premiere, episodes will be available on DisneyXD.com

Stuck on You (Mass Market Paperbound)
It's common knowledge in Plentiful, Wyoming, that bookstore owner Scarlett O'Malley imagines trouble brewing everywhere. Of course, real trouble bubbles over the day an enigmatic stranger named Logan Wolfe shows up in town. The outsider's one hunk of a guy, with a smile that could knock a redhead off her sky-high heels. But when a mysterious woman literally drops dead at Scarlett's feet and the town's wealthiest widow disappears, suspicion falls on the secretive man. Scarlett is positive Logan's up to something -- but is he out to scam the people in town, or steal her heart?
The last thing Logan wants is a screwball sleuth dogging his footsteps and digging into his past. The ex-cop came to Plentiful to escape the madness of Las Vegas and to ditch bad memories, not to have some zany redhead with a man-killer body mess with his peace of mind or history that's better off buried. But Logan can't help admiring Scarlett's spirit -- or the gold stars dangling from her belly button ring. And when her wacky investigation takes a surprising turn, Logan finds himself glued to Scarlett's side, helping her look for clues, keeping her out of trouble -- and maybe falling in love ...

Where and how to store images?
Pardon if I'm missing the obvious but I'm trying to add a custom image label to my app. By default when I add the img control it is populated with Sencha logo and is referenced as "resources/images/sencha.png". There's no "resources" directory in the project source tree so I'm assuming that this file is loaded remotely. Does that mean that I have to have a running webserver and specify my image source using "http://foo.com/resources/images/foo.png"? Is there a way to add a static image files to the project ans have these published as part of the deploy?
27 Feb 2012 12:25 PM #2
You can create/add any additional files into the projects working directory that you would like.
These will be included along with your deployment. You can reference these files relative to your urlPrefix/where you are developing/deploying.Aaron Conran
27 Feb 2012 1:03 PM #3
Are you referring to the directory containing .metadata folder? If so - I manually created resources/images dir there and added foo.png. No image is shown in Designer which is not surprising to me since I think it is looking at some remote location. And when I do deploy the resource folder is not copied to my destination
27 Feb 2012 1:06 PM #4
Yes, your project directory.
All additional files/folders here will copied to your deploy directory.
Is your project directory in a webroot and does it match your urlPrefix in your settings?Aaron Conran
27 Feb 2012 2:03 PM #5
OK - it does copy everything. Including .metadata and .svn folders (which I don't want is there any way to prevent this?). My project directory is not under my webserver. I'm using Tomcat so I deploy files under unwrapped WAR directory.
I get it to the point where after deploy I can see my image file on the webserver but that doesn't help me to build my UI in Designer since I can't get my image to display there
So I have:
Ext JS Path: http://extjs.cachefly.net/ext-4.0.2a/
Sencha.io Library path: http://extjs.cachefly.net/designer/IO/
URL Prefix: http://localhost:8080/foo/
Deploy path: C:/dev/workspaces/td/ui/foo/src/main/webapp
27 Feb 2012 2:15 PM #6
The file will have to be servable by your urlPrefix and the relative path during design time if you wish to see it.
We are working on some fixes regarding .metadata, .svn, etcAaron Conran
27 Feb 2012 2:22 PM #7
The only way I can get it working is to provide absolute network location e.g. http://localhost:8080/foo/resources/images/foo.png. If I set my urlPrefix to http://localhost:8080/foo and relative path to resources/images/foo.png I see nothing. And again, where does sencha.png is coming from?
27 Feb 2012 2:31 PM #8
I just tested this and its currently broken/not working as it should.
The sencha.png is an internal resource.Aaron Conran

Library Place, the newsletter of the Princeton Theological Seminary
library, features news about library collections, services for users, events,
exhibits, projects, digital initiatives, and outreach activities. Join us as we
explore trends and technologies relevant to education, ministry, and
As one of the nation's premier theological centers, the library continues to
play a constructive role in education and scholarship by increasing access to
knowledge, investing in collections, building relationships, cultivating the use of
innovative technologies, and pursuing collaborative solutions.
Donald M. VorpJames Lenox Librarian
Among the recent donations to Special Collections is a five volume set of the complete
works of Isaac Newton published in London by J. Nichols between 1779 and 1785. Newton
kept his personal religious beliefs rather private and refused to take holy orders in
the Church of England, something which was normally expected of Cambridge faculty in his
day (he had to receive a special dispensation from King Charles II exempting holders of
his chair from this requirement). Yet he was known to be a deeply religious person who
was convinced that the order and beauty which he found in the universe could not have
come about by chance. In addition to his well-known writings in the field of mathematics
and natural science, he studied scripture, theology and church history, and this edition
of his works contains the first complete printing of a lengthy letter he wrote on the
textual history of I John 5:7, as well as his writings on ancient chronology and the
prophetic writings found in the Bible, especially the books of Daniel and Revelation.
The volumes were the gift of Barry H. Downing (PTS Class of 1963) who after completing
his studies at Princeton Seminary went on to complete a doctorate on "The Eschatological
Implications of the Understanding of Time and Space in the Thought of Isaac Newton" at
the University of Edinburgh.
Another recent gift to the library's Special Collections was a small collection of nine
handwritten eighteenth century sermons from Katie Engstrom of Dallas, Texas. These
include sermons preached by Colin Campbell, Rector of St. Mary's Church, Burlington, New
Jersey, and William Frazer, Rector of St. Michael's Church, Trenton, New Jersey. These
colonial and post-revolutionary ministers were among her ancestors, and the sermons were
handed down through the family.
December 2013 saw the retirement of Bob Golon from his position as Manuscripts
Librarian here in Special Collections. Bob first came to Princeton Seminary as a Project
Archivist to work on the extensive Carl McIntire Manuscript Collection consisting of
over 600 boxes of material from the files of this noted 20th century fundamentalist
preacher and radio personality. Through diligent concentrated work Bob was able to
inventory and arrange this massive collection, making its rich holdings available for
researchers. He produced an extensive electronic finding aid, available online, as well
as an 80 page illustrated print booklet introducing the collection, its history, and an
extended glossary of specialized terms and abbreviations. Since becoming available
through Bob's hard work, the McIntire Collection has become one of the most used
collections in the Special Collections area of the library. Among others, Markku
Ruotsila, of the University of Helsinki in Finland, made several extended visits to
Princeton to work in the collection and is preparing a full-length scholarly biography
of McIntire based on his research which it is expected will be published this year. Bob
also used his work on the McIntire Collection to interest the Mid-Atlantic Regional
Archives Conference in holding one of its semi-annual sessions at Congress Hall in Cape
May, an historic hotel on the South Jersey coast which was once the center of many of
McIntire's activities. Bob worked on the planning committee for the sessions, while Ken
Henke, Curator of Special Collections, prepared a talk on McIntire and the collection
for those attending the conference.
As Manuscripts Librarian, Bob participated in the ongoing daily work of Special
Collections, arranging and describing a number of our collections, including recently
the collection of materials related to the organization of Christians Associated for
Relationships with Eastern Europe (CAREE). This organization originated from the work of
Czech theologian and former Princeton Seminary faculty member Joseph Hromadka and others
who sought to promote world peace during the Cold War years by deepening the
understanding between Christians in Central and Eastern Europe and those in the United
States. Charles West, former Stephen Colwell Professor of Christian Ethics at Princeton
Seminary, was active with CAREE and its predecessor, the Christian Peace Conference, for
many years, and his donation of papers related to this work was the basis for the
collection. Additional papers in the possession of other officers of the organization
were also solicited and contributed and together provide a fine overview of the
organization's work during the Cold War years, and in the years following the collapse
of the Soviet Union. Researching and installing a new electronic system for monitoring
the temperature and humidity in our climate-controlled book boxes was another of Bob's
many contributions, and he will be greatly missed.

Have you heard of Zotero (pronounced zoh-TAIR-oh)? It is an open-source tool
used to organize research and generate in-text citations, footnotes, and
bibliographies. A project of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason
University, Zotero was a welcome addition to the field of reference management
software as it capitalized on Web 2.0 technology.
You may find yourself asking, "Great, so how can this help me?" Well, after
completing a paper, you no longer have to type out citations, remember which
punctuation marks to use, track down incomplete references, or change repeat
citations to Ibid (if following The Chicago Manual of Style).
Zotero allows you to store citations from all of your papers, so it's easy to go
back—even years later—and find an article that you cited.
Try it today! Visit https://www.zotero.org/.
Digital Initiatives is a four-person team of librarian-technologists who focus on
building the Seminary's digital library, which is freely accessible online. The web
site, http://diglib.ptsem.edu, describes the
library's extensive digital collections.
The Seminary's flagship digital library resource, the Theological Commons, http://commons.ptsem.edu, constitutes a
significant contribution to theological research. It is unique because it combines mass
digitization with subject-based selection. Also, by partnering with Internet Archive, http://archive.org, a much larger digitization effort,
the Theological Commons is able to include not only 29,000 volumes from Princeton
Seminary's book collections, but also 50,000 volumes from other research libraries.
Highlights include:
• Guides to the library's rich manuscript collections
• Journals published by, or closely associated with the Seminary from 1825 to 2010
• The Princeton Lectures on Youth, Church, and Culture—providing access to original
scholarship in youth ministry
• The Digital Library of Abraham Kuyper, containing the complete archive of more than
100,000 manuscript pages
• An archive of web sites containing content that is relevant to theological
• Theological Commons, a fully searchable digital library of close to 79,000 public
domain books and periodicals on theology and religion
Building on this important resource, Digital Initiatives is currently undertaking a
major expansion of the Theological Commons, thanks to a $1.5M grant from the Henry Luce
Foundation. This expansion will provide access to unique audio and visual resources. The
cornerstone of this effort involves the digitization of the Seminary's extensive media
archive, which contains close to 9,000 audio recordings spanning the last 60 years,
along with hundreds of more recent video recordings. These recordings capture public
lectures, interviews, and sermons, given by prominent scholars, pastors, and church
leaders. Most of the original tapes are at risk of disintegration, so digitizing this
content not only makes it widely available, but also preserves it for future generations
of researchers.
Greg MurrayHead of Digital Initiatives
The library serves as a hub to three research centers, each of which connects scholars
and pastors with collections and conferences of international importance: The Center for Barth Studies, Center for the Study
of Scottish Philosophy, and Abraham Kuyper Center for Public
The Center for Barth Studies (CBS), founded in 1997,
exists to promote scholarship, conferences, and events related to the theology of Karl
Barth. CBS includes a special Karl Barth Research Collection, which is housed in the
library and is the largest Barth collection in North America. The goal of the Center is
to eventually obtain a copy of every piece of literature written by or about Karl Barth.
Each June, CBS facilitates the annual Karl Barth Conference, which places Barth's
theology in constructive and historical conversation with a variety of topics and
figures. CBS also supports domestic and international visiting scholars by assisting
them with research projects.
CBS is led by Dr. Bruce L. McCormack, director, along with an advisory board
comprised of current and previous Princeton Seminary professors. The daily operations of
the Center are managed by Kait Dugan, curator of the Barth collection and Nathan Maddox,
assistant to the curator as well as two student workers, Tyler Davis and Michael
The annual 2014 Karl Barth Conference titled "Karl Barth, the Jews, and Judaism"
will take place on June 15–18. Plenary speakers will include Victoria Barnett, Eberhard
Busch, Ellen Charry, George Hunsinger, Mark Lindsay, David Novak, and Peter Ochs. The
conference will also host the first-ever concurrent speaker sessions, which will include
a variety of papers to be given by professors and graduate students throughout the
world. The conference is free for PTS students. To learn more about the conference,
please visit ptsem.edu/barthconference. CBS exists to
assist with practical and introductory tips for demonstrating how to navigate and
understand Barth's theology as well as to provide a wealth of primary and secondary
resources for academic research projects. If you have any questions about Barth's
theology or need help locating Barth materials, stop by CBS during Seminary business
hours or email [email protected]
Throughout the year, the Center for the Study of Scottish
Philosophy (CSSP) manages and edits the Journal of Scottish Philosophy
(JSP), published by Edinburgh University Press. Now in its twelfth volume, the JSP has
established a reputation for innovative scholarship, often from younger scholars, on all
aspects, authors, and periods of Scottish philosophy, from the 17th to 20th centuries. In
addition, the CSSP edits the Library of Scottish Philosophy, a book series published by
Imprint Academic. The purpose of the series is to make expertly edited selections
affordable and easily accessible to teachers and students. Recent volumes include
selections from Thomas Reid, whose philosophical writings greatly influenced The College
of New Jersey in the early years of the 19th century, and Scottish Philosophy in
America, which documents much of that influence. The fifteenth volume in the
series, The Scottish Philosophy of Rhetoric, was published on February 1,
In the spring of each year, the CSSP organizes a small conference, which attracts
participants from all over the world. The March 2014 conference drew presenters from
Singapore, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium, as well as Scotland and the United States.
In addition, there have been three larger conferences organized in collaboration with
other learned societies. The CSSP's first conference in 2007 led to a long-term
project—a two-volume, multiauthored history of Scottish philosophy. That project is
nearing completion and the two volumes will be published by Oxford University Press in
2015. More information about CSSP can be found at http://www.ptsem.edu/library/cssp/.
Abraham Kuyper, a hugely influential theologian, church leader, and politician in
19th century Holland, gave the Stone Lectures at Princeton in 1898. Titled "Lectures on
Calvinism," they brought to the English speaking world Kuyper's brilliant renewal of
Calvin's theological vision, and thereby created "Neo-Calvinism" as a powerful Christian
voice. The Abraham Kuyper Center for Public Theology
arose out of the centenary celebrations of those lectures organized at Princeton
Seminary in 1998. Its work is now greatly assisted by an advisory board that includes
Seminary faculty and external experts.
The Center's most well-known event is the Abraham Kuyper Lecture and Prize,
delivered by the recipient of the Kuyper Prize. This prize is awarded to someone who has
excelled in his or her chosen sphere, and as a result won recognition for the continuing
cultural relevance of the Reformed tradition. The Abraham Kuyper Lecture and Prize opens
the annual conference on a theme related to the winner's work.
The Kuyper Center Conference has steadily become a major event in the neo-Calvinist
calendar and attracts participants from many parts of the world. Generous donations by
Dr. Rimmer de Vries have made it possible to support participation by a new generation
of scholars. Since 2010, revised and edited versions of a selection of the conference
papers have appeared in the Kuyper Center Review.
The library now possesses a very extensive Kuyper Collection of primary and
secondary material: http://www.ptsem.edu/library/collections/special/research/. Additions are
regularly added to the collection, which promises to be the finest in the world. A
Kuyper Center visiting scholar scheme has recently been inaugurated to facilitate the
use of this collection.

We recently set out towards Garden City and I've realized this is one of my favorite drives going from Northeast to Southwestern Kansas. Traveling along I-70 I love to experience the rolling Flint and Smoky Hills regions. One of these days when there is more time, I plan to exit the Interstate and travel through the byways but for now, I will enjoy them in my rush to get from point A to point B.

OK, Cohen has constructed a model in which both ZFC and ~CH are true. Isn't this model an answer to the continuum problem? Hasn't he showed that it is indeed possible to construct a set with cardinality between that of the integers and that of the reals? Why is it still not considered sufficient to settle CH? Why is one model not enough? Why for all models? In other words, why do we have to answer whether "ZFC |- CH" instead of just "CH" itself?
I am sympathetic to this question, which often arises for those first learning of Cohen's theorem, and I don't think it is an idle question. I recall my sophomore undergradatue self being confused about it when I first studied the set-theoretic independence phenomenon. And I think that Carl is right, that this particular issue is not addressed on the other CH questions.
I view the question as arising from the following line of thought: Cohen proved that it is possible that CH fails. Thus, it is possible that there is a set of reals whose cardinality is strictly between the integers and the continuum. But if we can decribe how such a set can exist, then haven't we actually described a set of such intermediate cardinality? That is, doesn't this mean that CH is simply false?
This line of thinking may be alluring, but it is wrong. The reason it is wrong, as Gerhard explains in his comment, is that it doesn't appreciate the role of models, or what might be called the set-theoretic background. What Cohen did was to show that if ZFC is consistent, then so is ZFC + ¬CH. (In contrast, Goedel proved that if ZFC is consistent, then so is ZFC + CH.) Thus, Cohen's intermediate-cardinality set has the property that it is intermediate in cardinality in the model that Cohen describes, with respect to that set-theoretic background, but it will not be intermediate-in-cardinality with respect to other set-theoretic backgrounds. The property of being intermediate in cardinality is dependent on the set-theoretic background in which this property is considered. For example, a set $X$ is uncountable if there is no function from the natural numbers onto it. But perhaps there is no such function mapping onto $X$ in a model of set theory $M$, but there is a larger model of set theory $N$, still having $X$, but for which now there IS a function mapping the natural numbers onto $X$. In fact, this very situation follows from Cohen's forcing method: any set can be made countable in a forcing extension.
Thus, whether a set forms a counterexample to CH cannot be observed looking only at that set---one must consider the set-theoretic universe in which the set is considered, and the possible bijective functions that might witness its countability or not. The very same set of reals can be countable in some models of set theory and bijective with the continuum in others.
There are several ways of describing "what you're doing" when you construct a model by forcing. One of these ways is to recast the whole proof as a syntactical consistency proof. That's not going to help here, because your question is about actual properties of models. In particular, if you want to talk about settling CH then you have to commit to the existence of some standard model of ZFC, and then ask whether CH hold in this model.
The most common description in elementary books is that you start with a countable transitive model of ZFC and you use it to construct a second countable transitive model of ZFC. The reason that you start with a countable model is to make it easy to prove that the generic filter (the primary thing you "add" by forcing) actually exists. If you start with an uncountable model, it's not apparent that the necessary generic filters exist. Worse, if you are committed to the existence of a "standard model" containing "all sets" then the generic filters you want often cannot exist over that model. Because, trivially, it's impossible to find any "new" sets if you already have "all" sets. Since your question is directly about the standard model, this is a severe limitation.
The reason that the countable transitive model method does not tell you anything about the standard model is that it only works with countable models. So, basically, it takes one nonstandard model and produces a second nonstandard model. This method can be used to show statements are independent of ZFC, but it gives no information at all about the standard model.
Another way to view forcing is that you start with an arbitrary transitive model of set theory and construct a Boolean-valued model from it. But the Boolean-valued model you construct is not even a classical two-valued "model", so it again tells you nothing about the standard model. To turn an arbitrary Boolean-valued model into a two-valued transitive model, you have to find a suitable generic ultrafilter to mod out the truth values, and constructing this ultrafilter is essentially the same problem as constructing a generic filter over the original poset.
In the end, the only way to show that the standard model has some property is to prove that property from axioms that hold in the standard model. The independence of CH from ZFC means that you would need to assume some additional axioms beyond ZFC to prove or disprove CH in the standard model. There is more information about that in the following MO question: Solutions to the Continuum Hypothesis
I think the answer to the question doesn't really have anything to do with how Cohen actually proved the independence of CH, it is more about what a model of set theory is.
There are some axioms defining what a group is. These axioms can be written in ordinary first-order propositional logic. A model of the theory is a set with a binary operation and a distinguished element such that it satisfies the group axioms. That is, a model of the theory is simply a group. Similarly, a model of set theory is simply a set with a relation (representing) such that it satisfies the axioms of set theory. Now there are theorems that follow directly from the group axioms. And these are just the things that hold for every model of the theory. They hold for every group. Other statements, such as "For all a and b, ab=ba" hold for some models but not for others. They are independent of the axioms.
Now, things are really the same in set theory. You can have models (S,e) and (S'.e') such that the continuum hypothesis holds in one (S,e), but not in (S',e). Now these are simply sets with a binary relation defined on them. Such sets exists since, loosely speaking, every consistent theory has a model.*
But this doesn't really tell us anything about the world of sets we are working with, apart from the fact that both could be true. All we know is that the theory we are working with has, provided it is consistent, a model. But there could be many models with different properties, and, since they are consistent with the axioms, we cannot use the axioms to identify a "true" model. In particular we cannot learn from them that something holding in a model is true, we can only use them to show something is not provable false (in our case, the CH and its negation).
*Usually, to make things simpler, one works with models which are closer to the real sets in that for $a,b\in S$ one has $a e b$ just in case $a\in b$ and includes sufficiently many elements such that one can actually treat them in some respects like usual sets. That is where the countable, transitive, standard models come from.
CH has not been "settled" (and there are obstacles to settling it) in any of the following senses:
$\quad 1.$ Finding a compellingly natural extension of standard set theory (more natural than ZF+CH) that decides CH, i.e., proves CH or proves its negation.
Here the main approach is blocked, because large cardinal axioms don't directly decide CH.
$\quad 2.$ Finding compelling arguments for replacing set theory, wherever it is used (e.g., as a foundation or formalization scheme), with set-theory-plus-CH.
This approach is blocked by the lack of "material consequences" of CH. For example, the set of true first-order sentences of arithmetic is not affected by assuming CH, so there would be no concrete statement such as the Twin Prime Conjecture that could be proved only with the use of CH. For similar reasons, it is unlikely that there exists a proof of any concrete statement that is much shorter or easier with CH than without it.
$\quad 3.$ Finding a compellingly natural alternative to standard axiomatic set theory (one whose theorems are not a subset or superset of the theorems in ZFC, and which comes to be preferred over ZFC) that can formulate and decide CH.
This development would be a lot more significant than deciding CH, and would presumably affect a large number of other questions. So to the extent that this possibility is relevant it should be discussed directly, and CH itself is immaterial. More on this argument in the earlier thread: Knuth's intuition that Goldbach might be unprovable
(The same comments also apply to the negation of the Continuum Hypothesis; everything above is phrased in terms of CH only to avoid clunky qualifiers in the sentences.)
EDIT: I am not counting another possibility, where partial answers to CH are accepted as the best that can be done, or the original problem comes to be seen as the wrong formulation (but better formulations are decidable in ZFC). For example, there are theorems to the effect that "any reasonably defined set of real numbers satisfies CH", and PCF theory that tries to capture the ZFC content of set theoretic cardinality questions while avoiding independence phenomena. For purposes of this answer I refer only to approaches that would "settle" CH by exhibiting a formal system that is strong enough to derive CH or its negation, and is also adequate in other respects, such as being extremely psychologically or pragmatically compelling compared to systems (such as ZFC) that don't decide CH.

This is useful information -- thanks. But I seem to have got very close to having the printer (HP C7280) work off my iPad2. I can print the documents that are in the iPrint App itself (ones I put there by sending them from my iTunes). But I can't get them from any other apps to the iPrint. I've tried from Pages (though I did not expect that to work since Apple likes to keep files in the family) and Goodreader and DropBox and Safari and Mail (attachments). They all complain that they cannot find any printer. Strange that the printer shows up in the HP iPrint App but nowhere else. Also it does not show up when I try "Open In" -- only Dropbox and GoodReader show up there. I have tried changing all my wireless settings bu thatdoes not help. Very odd.

I use the NN180 (which was a replacement for my Metz 45 flash bracket) and am more than happy. It does what I need, when I need it with the minimum of fuss and setup. There are times, very occasionally, when portrait mode would be useful. I get over the problem at the moment by placing a bean bag on the NN180 and just panning around. An "L" bracket would be better, so I was wondering if any were due to appear from the pipeline in the future?

CWC's Nik and Michael Brown were in preliminary action at Charleston on Thursday, for the IHSA 1A state boys track meet.
Nik Brown competed in the shot put, throwing for a distance of 46-06.50. Nik's distance was not enough to move on to the final on Saturday.
Michael Brown was next up, first in the 800-meter run. Michael ran in the final heat of three and finished with a time of 1:57.32. His time was at the top of the qualifying times for the event.
Michael then competed in the 1600-meter run. He tied for first in the third heat with Jon Davis of Fithian at a time of 4:28.33. The time was fourth fastest of those qualifying for the final, but rain and wind had began to pick up during the heat which could have affected the times.
On Saturday, Michael will compete first in the 800-meter run at 1:55 p.m. and then the 1600-meter run at 3:35 p.m.

Make sure you're working with a Grayscale image and then go
From there choose the colors you want to use by clicking on the color block. Adjust the mapping of gray to color by clicking on the curves (the block with the diagonal in it).
You can achieve different effects by adding multiple colors. For example, this image:

I am planning to use a Nikon D200 with a Samyang 8mm lens (Angle of view: 180 degrees (APS-C), Diameter x Lenght : 75x74.8mm ) on a Nodal Ninja 3 mount to create prints and quicktime VR shows of people working the in tobacco fields in Cuba. I would like the quicktime VR to be able to pan 360 degrees and tilt all the way up to the zenith and all the way down to the ground. In other words I would like a completely spherical view.
Do I need to photoshop out the tripod legs in the downward view before stitching? or can I just take that frame hand held after removing the tripod?
I am planning to take 4 horizontal frames and 2 vertical (sky and ground) would that be sufficient considering I am using the 8mm lens ? Do you think my set-up is adequate? I am using a Gitzo tripod but I don't have any auto leveler device. Should I get one?
Thank you for any advice you can give me.

The picker er implemented in the combobox by the function createPicker. If you see the code you will find that the picker is a view.BoundList. A boundlist has no property dockedItems, because that is a property of a panel.
What you can do is override the createPicker function
createPicker: function() { var me = this, picker, pickerCfg = Ext.apply({ xtype: 'boundlist', pickerField: me, selModel: { mode: me.multiSelect ? 'SIMPLE' : 'SINGLE' }, floating: true, hidden: true, store: me.store, displayField: me.displayField, focusOnToFront: false, pageSize: me.pageSize, tpl: me.tpl }, me.listConfig, me.defaultListConfig); picker = me.picker = Ext.widget(pickerCfg); if (me.pageSize) { picker.pagingToolbar.on('beforechange', me.onPageChange, me); } me.mon(picker, { itemclick: me.onItemClick, refresh: me.onListRefresh, scope: me }); me.mon(picker.getSelectionModel(), { beforeselect: me.onBeforeSelect, beforedeselect: me.onBeforeDeselect, selectionchange: me.onListSelectionChange, scope: me }); return picker; },

People are real creatures of habit, aren't they? It's true, change is a stressful thing. There are all those statistics that say events like divorce and moving house are as stressful as a death in the family. However, none of those stress therapists ever predicted the suffering that it seems thousands of people are slogging through at this very minute, mouths forced open in silent screams of distress... the stress of switching from trusty, faithful first wife XP to that slinky young blonde upstart Vista. Who knew something so desirable could be so high maintenance?
And Dell are there, listening, offering distraught individuals the opportunity to revamp the exterior but to keep ole faithful on the inside (that's right ladies, with plastic surgery, anything's possible). After a quantity of complaints on Dell's Ideastorm website, where Dell customers go and let them know what they should be doing, Dell decided that XP was still the go. Turns out that when Dell stopped offering XP on most of their models after January (and heaps of other retailers did the same), visitors to Ideastorm voted not to get rid of XP just yet to the tune of 10,700 votes... and Dell listened.
And Dell are good listeners, really. They're also, due to customer demand, about to start offering the pre-installed GNU/Linux on some machines (who I guess, following my above analogy, would be the girl next door who you never really paid any attention to because you were momentarily blindsided by the high-maintenance good looks and flashy extravagance of XP? Anyway...). Good for them! My favourite bit of the article that I'm quoting was the bit where Gartner and Microsoft came out in response to this information that all the moms and dads want to keep their XP—these weirdos are a "small minority", and "most consumers want the latest and greatest". (She's high maintenance. But isn't that part of the appeal? Apparently not.)
Okay. So it turns out that we are creatures of habit, more than creatures who want to take on hot new second wives (comforting, hey ladies?). Michael Gartenberg from JupiterResearch gave the reasons for XP keeping its popularity was because it's still good enough, it's familiar, and it works with their existing hardware (the mind boggles, really, but the fact that Vista doesn't work with everything is a separate side issue in stupidity). He also believes that OSes are "inherently by nature kind of boring" and Microsoft need to crank up the marketing pressure so that even though Dell are offering the safe and comfortable alternative of XP on the couch with popcorn and trackie pants, everyone will be salivating over Vista's hot little black cocktail dress.
But what does that mean for the much maligned, plain-faced and unfairly passed over GNU/Linux next door? Honey, maybe it's a case of if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Instead of trying to be cutely independent, quirky, and goodie two shoes, be more like the Sandy in Grease! Pick up a bad habit or two, slap on some window dressing (pardon the pun) to look more like the popular girls and get out there and get yourself noticed!
What we really need is someone to do a GNU/Linux distro that is virtually indistinguishable from Windows XP (I guess we can leave out the viruses, spyware, BSODs, instability, lack of security thing though, really). This way, all those people who don't want to upgrade to Vista can still get what they're used to (without the bad stuff). Can you imagine the relief on their faces when they hear: "Here, this is IDENTICAL to XP in every way, except it isn't crap and it's free. Give it a go!". And that, ladies and gentlemen, might be how we can get GNU/Linux on more desktops. And, don't worry Microsoft, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
Quite close, but...
...there are things that can't be done, for various reasons:
- copying the XP look can be considered copyright infringement. However some themes (see LookXP for example, or XPde) already allow a very close copy of the everyday interface you get with Windows XP.
- Linux can't run Windows drivers, and its drivers don't work the same anyway; as such, hardware compatibility goes out the window (pun half-intended).
- Linux can't run Windows software (you need a wrapper: see Wine, Cedega, Crossover) as-is.
An opportunity to do what you ask for is not to use Linux and Linux-based systems, but to use Free reimplementations of win32 and the NT kernel: check out ReactOS for an idea of how difficult this is.
Linux is Linux; turning it into a Windows XP clone is like putting Angelina Jolie in size 50 greasy coveralls with tool belts and pouches: it might fit, but the result is awkward, unflattering, not working and frustrating for all involved.
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
Enough About BSOD Already!
The only time I've had a BSOD in Windows XP was due to buggy video drivers. Can the Linux crowd please stop already about BSOD? I haven't experienced it.
