I have mountain bike shoes and clipless pedals. When I go on long rides, my feet fall asleep and then very, very painfully wake up (on my most recent long ride, this started happening after 30ish miles and continued for the remaining 45 miles). What can I do to avoid/fix this problem?

I've been suffering from this recently now that I've upped my mileage to 40+ mile rides. My solution was 3 fold:
1) Starting the ride with my shoes quite loose. I have Shimano road / race shoes with 2 velcro straps and a ratchet strap across the top of my foot. I found that I was ratcheting the shoes down too tight.
2) Cleat position. Try experimenting with your cleats in different positions, I've found having my cleats at the rear most setting, allows some of the pressure to be taken off the balls of my feet.
3) Insoles - I've bought some decent insoles as I have quite a high instep, which means all the pressure gets put through the ball of my foot.
I often get tingling in my outside 2 toes during long road rides. I find periodically taking one foot off a pedal and stretching my leg out and flexing my ankle around really helps. Doesn't even require stopping.
If it becomes more severe, you may find stopping and doing some full stretching will help.
It could be that you over-tighen the upper part of your foot.
I second the recommendation to visit your LBS for a fitting. Not only might they be able to help with shoe/cleat placement, but a fit in other areas such as seat height may help alleviate any nerve impingement that might be happening. If you ride a lot, this is pretty important to take care of. Hope it gets cleared up.
Correctly fitted shoes must be part of the solution.
However it is not good for our body's to keep making the same constrained movement for a long time.
So you could try stopping every hour, and removing your shoes and then flexing your feet.
I ran into this issue a couple of seasons ago. It took a combination of three things to make my problem go away.
1) I wear custom-made orthotics for running and walking. I had new casts done and new orthotics made. (The type I use breaks down/wears out after a couple of years)
2) On the recommendation of my podiatrist I loosened the laces/straps on my cycling shoes. I try to keep them barely snug enough to prevent my foot from sliding around.
3) I lowered my saddle about 1/4". My saddle position was set by a fit kit at my LBS years ago. I never messed with it. But, you are supposed to used that initial fit and make small adjustments from there. The slightly lower saddle position also helped reduce the occurrence of sore knees.
I had this exact problem for a while on my hybrid (which was at the time my only bike). It turned out not to be shoe/foot-related at all - it was the saddle. It was a wider "comfort" style saddle that came with the bike. When I bought a road bike, I found that I didn't have the same problem there, and I replaced the saddle on the hybrid with a narrower road bike saddle and never had the problem there again either. My guess is that somehow the way my legs were meeting the saddle was pinching a nerve or something.
I've run into this issue recently, too. Luckily, I'm in the shoe business and have easy access to custom-made orthotics. I'd highly recommend visiting a local pedorthist who can fit your feet correctly in your cycling shoes to ensure proper blood flow to all areas of the foot.
If that's not an option for you, you might consider visiting your LBS for a good fitting on your bike. This should include proper cleat placement on your footwear.

Cleanup from a train derailment in southwestern Jefferson County is continuing.
A Paducah & Louisville Railway train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed just after 6 a.m. EDT Monday near Dixie Highway. A leak of a potentially explosive material was contained after the derailment, but crews were working Tuesday to put the railroad cars back on the track or remove them and the highway remained closed.
Although some residents who live near the site have been allowed to return, The Courier-Journal reports residents of a dozen homes were still waiting late Monday for the all-clear.
P&L Railway President Tom Garrett said the train was on its way to Louisville from Paducah with a total of 57 cars.
The company is investigating what caused the train to derail.

I wanted to make a fun, unique drawing of these air crafts because I just made a lesson of the very same think, just different model. Up next, we will learn "how to draw an airship", step by step. The airship in this lesson has an actual boat rigged up to the bottom of the airship's surface. This tutorial is going to be a bit more complicated than the first Zeppelin, but at least the end results will be better, and you will have a challenge ahead of you. So enjoy drawing an airship folks and I shall return with another tut for you all.

I can design but I am new to the "phone app" world. How do I make an awesome logo for this smartphone-app job? I am looking for a "To Do" list, please.
To create an iOS icon, you simply have to provide images for at the various sizes. For iOS, the main sizes are (if you're making an iPhone and iPad app):
For Android, the image sizes are:
Icons are delivered as PNG files. Generally speaking, you do need to provide all those sizes (they're used in different places throughout the OS). If your app uses documents via iTunes, there's a few extra sizes.
In terms of the actual icon, that's something you'll have to figure out for yourself. A lot of to do lists use a tick. Do you want to fit in or stand out?
If you'd like to be inspired, Dribbble is a great place to start. Please note that I said "inspired" — make sure your icon is different to other icons you're inspired by.
I started another question that might be useful to you, regarding workflow for building the various sizes.
Best workflow for icon design: Start big, or start small?

[Sencha Cmd] sencha app build
Hi there,
recently I adapted my app to use Sencha Cmd.
As a result *sencha app build* executes successfully, but when I launch my code I get following error:
Error evaluating http://localhost/myapp/app.js with message: ReferenceError: GlobalVars is not defined localhost:80 G localhost:80 c localhost:81 b localhost:81 (anonymous function) localhost:84 E.b localhost:79 h.onreadystatechange localhost:78
Partial definition of GlobalVars:
Ext.define 'MyApp.utils.GlobalVars', extend: 'Ext.mixin.Observable' alternateClassName: 'GlobalVars' singleton: true config: # ...
Error evaluating http://localhost/myapp/app.js with message: TypeError: Cannot read property 'GlobalVars' of undefined localhost:80 G localhost:80
Application works fine even with microloader if I don't deploy built (by Sencha Cmd utility) production code, but I didn't adapt to Sencha Cmd without reason. I want my codes to be deployed concatenated into one, minified (app.js) source file.
Any help appreciated.

Best way to adapt an app to cmd
Hi, I once had to adapt all my apps to use cmd.
Here is how I did it:
Rename my app myApp into myApp-old
Run in terminal: sencha generate app myApp ../myApp
Then I copied the app dir content of myApp-old into myApp. (Don't include the index.html and the directories .sencha and touch)
9 Feb 2013 4:10 AM #3
Indeed I did so, but that was not a case. In fact I'm developing in CoffeeScript instead of pure JS and generated code is not always the one, Sencha dependency analyzer dreams of. More over I have found, that concatanated code is more restrictable in the means of proper usage of ST. I made it semi working right now, but still couple of screens don't work yet.
Thanks for your help.
PS: Do you know how forum threads can be removed? Can't find any button for this anywhere.

Sorry. I don't know. I never removed a thread.

Disney Moving All Cruise Ships to Florida in 2014
Published: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 9:21 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 9:21 a.m.
ORLANDO | Walt Disney Co. is moving all four of is cruise ships to Florida during the first half of 2014.
The company announced the decision last week after an extended run on the U.S. west coast. Officials say the weak European economy played a role in the decision to bring the ships to Florida.
The Orlando Sentinel (http://thesent.nl/12gLBQg ) reports the 2,700-passenger ship Disney Wonder will remain in Miami at least through the first five months of 2014. It has spent extended time sailing from Los Angeles.
The company's original ship, the Disney Magic, will return to Port Canaveral in January 2014. It has sailed out of New York and Galveston, Texas, this year and will spend time in Europe in 2013.
The ships join Port Canaveral-based Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.
