Sure it's possible. You can simple use display: inline-block on each dataview item. You will need to handle height and width also in CSS.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Hi, i was just wanting some people to take a loot at this diagram i threw together to see if this system would work? and if so do i need to put each area that i tie the main 12/2 together in a box of some kind?
Hi, i was just wanting some people to take a loot at this diagram i threw together to see if this system would work? and if so do i need to put each area that i tie the main 12/2 together in a box of some kind?
This is what your wiring diagram should look like.
Notice the black wire is used to feed the switch, while the white wire is markered and used to feed the light from the switch. This is because the black wire going to the switch will always be hot, but the white wire "returning" from the switch is only hot when the switch is in the ON position. The white "switched" wire can be marked simply by wrapping a bit of black electrical tape at each end of the wire.
All the grounding conductors are tied together, and connected to the box (if a metal box is used).
Box Fill Calculations
According to section 314.16 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), you'll have to count each conductor that enters the box once, all the grounds as one, any luminaire studs, hickeys, or fixture straps as one, each single yoke device is 2, and internal clamps are 1. Once you have this number, you'll multiply it by the value in Table 314.16(B) according to the largest conductor used. This will give you the total minimum box size, in cubic inches (cubic centimeters).
Ceiling Fixture Boxes
For each ceiling fixture box (excluding the last), the box fill will be as follows:
Assuming you'll be using 12 AWG wires, Table 314.16(A) tells us you'll need a 4" x 2 1/8" round/octagonal box for the first 3 boxes (or a box at least 18 cubic inches).
The last fixture box fill will be as follows:
So you'll need at least a 4" x 1 1/2" round/octagonal box, for the last box.
Switch Boxes
This means you'll be able to use any device box larger than 11.25 cubic inches, for the switches.
Final Diagram
While 12 AWG wire may be a bit overkill for this installation; if that's the size wire you have, there is no problems using it.
According to section 300.15 of the National Electrical Code, all junctions must be made in a box or conduit body. Section 314.29, adds that the box must be "accessible without removing any part of the building".
Yes, that should work with some notes:
1) The lights should be grounded as well.
2) Yes, any area in which you have a junction needs to be accessible. In your case, you would typically have the light fixture and the junction from the incoming and outgoing main cable in the same box.
That'll work, but...
Let start with the basics. A light turns on when 120/240 VAC is applied on one side and neutral is applied to the other side. For safety reasons you want the casing of the light to be grounded, there is typically a screw on the light dedicated for this purpose.
Of course you will also want the ability to turn this light on and off. The way this is done is by placing a switch in-line with 120/240 VAC line. I assume you have these basics under control.
Now for the logistics of making this happen. First off, all connections have to occur inside of an accessible junction box. You don't want some wires dangling around open to who knows what messing with them. But you do want them accessible, this way you just have to remove a couple of screws if a wire comes loose instead of having to dig through Sheetrock remembering where you put that connection at. The accessible junction box can be the box in the ceiling, the switch box, or can even be a box with a blank face plate who's only purpose is to protect a junction.
The next thing to worry about is those who mess with your work after you. You want them to know what is power and what is neutral. Connecting a black and white wire together makes this very difficult to determine whats what. As a result, you need to find a way to make this more clear. What you can do is connect all of the black wires together, and then put a black mark on the white wire. This will let people know that despite it being a white wire (typically neutral) it is not actually a neutral wire.
Your diagram is a bit crude, but it will "work" as I read it.
A few things to note:

Pressure Builds to Tear Down Abandoned Historic Hotels
Published: Saturday, December 28, 2013 at 11:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 28, 2013 at 11:23 p.m.
SEBRING | In its heyday, Harder Hall hotel in Sebring was known by the matriarchal nickname "the pink lady."
The 86-year-old Highlands County landmark still appears matriarchal from the outside, but it is slowly deteriorating on the inside from nearly three decades of disuse. A more common nickname today is "pink elephant," a play on ''white elephant,'' a possession difficult to dispose.
Whatever the color, many communities across Florida have faced the same issue of preserving historic downtown hotels or tearing them down. In Polk County, that includes Lakeland's Terrace Hotel and the former Regency Hotel, now Lake Mirror Tower; Grand Hotel in Lake Wales; and Polk Hotel in Haines City.
The Lakeland and Haines City hotels got new life after many calls for their demolition. The Sebring and Lake Wales hotels have avoided the wrecking ball so far, but their futures remain murky as each requires millions of dollars in renovations that won't happen until the buildings find a new purpose compatible with their current local economies.
"There's a growing market in Lakeland, and that's what made it happen," said Jim Studiale, the city's director of community development, referring to the successful restoration of The Terrace as a hotel and the transformation of the Regency to upscale apartments. "Sebring and Lake Wales don't have that advantage."
The Polk and Highlands hotels share a common history with many other Florida hotels, such as the Don CeSar, another pink palace in St. Petersburg Beach, said Terry Hunter, 67, a partner in Pickett Hunter Associates Architecture of Lakeland and a student of the state's architecture history.
All were built during the Florida real estate boom in the 1920s, Hunter said.
"Every community wanted to have one or more of these hotels. Everybody was thinking that there would be all these people (tourists) coming," he said. "They tended to be not just a point of community pride but a community center because they had restaurants, large meeting rooms and other facilities."
Most survived and even flourished after the 1927 Florida real estate bust and the subsequent Great Depression because tourism in those decades largely meant train travel, which deposited tourists in city centers, Hunter said. Those winter tourists came for golf and other recreational activities that even smaller communities could provide.
That changed in the 1950s when the automobile became the primary vehicle bringing tourists to Florida, he said.
"When the car took over after World War II, the car-based tourists weren't looking for these downtown hotels," Hunter said.
Instead they favored beach hotels and later theme parks and resorts designed as "destination attractions," a single location offering a variety of amusements and recreation, he said.
Beginning in the 1960s, many of the 1920s hotels closed or scraped by serving other clientele, Hunter said.
The Terrace became a "bum hotel," Studiale said, while the Regency became affordable housing for retirees. Harder Hall remained a resort hotel until it closed in 1986 when the owners declared bankruptcy.
The Harder Hall story typifies the travails of those classic hotels still struggling to survive.
When Vince Hall and Lewis Harder opened their eponymous 138-room resort hotel in 1927, it immediately became a community gem, reputedly the first $1 million building in the county, according to archives at Sebring Historical Society. Construction costs at the time were put at $1.5 million, or more than $20 million in 2013 dollars.
In addition to rooms and an upscale restaurant with banquet hall, it offered swimming, boating and sunbathing on Little Lake Jackson, on whose shore it rests, along with its own golf course and tennis courts.
After the bankruptcy, Harder Hall fell into the hands of Resolution Trust Corp., the federal agency created in the late 1980s to sell off the assets from failed savings and loan companies.
The agency made one move that diminished the hotel's chances for revival as a resort business: selling off the golf course and some adjoining land. That reduced Harder Hall's footprint from about 300 acres to its current 13 acres, said Bob Hoffman, assistant administrator for the city of Sebring, which owns the property.
Since its closing, Harder Hall saw two aborted attempts at restoration.
Miami developer Avi Limor purchased the property from Resolution Trust in June 1994 for $517,300, most of which went into an escrow account to remove environmentally hazardous asbestos and lead fixtures. Limor spent $1.5 million on renovations before perishing in a private plane crash in November 1995.
Marc Shenker, another Miami developer, purchased Harder Hall in December 2003, and worked with the city to obtain $5.2 million in a loan and grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for restoration. The work ended in 2006, when Shenker went bankrupt and left scores of local contractors unpaid to the tune of more than $350,000, according to Historical Society archives.
The city foreclosed on the property and took responsibility for paying off almost the entire HUD loan.
Shenker's exit created one more obstacle to future restoration, Hoffman said.
"We have very few building plans, called 'as-builts,' showing what restoration was completed," he said.
The as-builts would be important for any future buyer to calculate the cost of completing the restoration, Hoffman said. He estimated Harder Hall's three-story north wing about 70 percent complete, the central six-story tower about 60 percent restored but the south wing only about 10 percent renovated.
Hoffman fields dozens of calls each month inquiring about selling Harder Hall and has given prospective buyers many tours of the resort's interior, he said.
Most were just "kicking the tires," Hoffman said.
The only serious offer came from a St. Petersburg investment firm that proposed to turn Harder Hall into independent and assisted living facilities for seniors, he said, but the company could not arrange another HUD loan.
Hunter, Studiale and city officials agreed it would probably take $10 million to $15 million to complete the restoration.
Like the Terrace and Regency hotels, Harder Hall's future rests on finding an economically viable future for the property, Hoffman said.
"The key is finding some kind of use that allows you to generate a revenue flow you can make use of as an ongoing business," Hunter agreed.
That's the same issue facing Ray Brown of Walesbilt Hotel Restoration, the owner of Grand Hotel in Lake Wales, originally called the Dixie Walesbilt Hotel when it opened Jan. 14, 1927.
The Grand's history mirrors that of the other landmark hotels — built during the 1920s boom, successful for the first few decades, then going into gradual decline under a series of landlords who couldn't generate the money to maintain the building — said Brown, also a student of architectural history who has studied the hotel's history.
The Grand closed in the late 1980s, at which time it was already in considerable disrepair, he said. A manager had stripped the hotel of copper pipes and wiring and other fixtures that he sold for cash.
The city obtained ownership through a lien foreclosure in October 2007. It made a deal with Brown in February 2010 to turn over ownership after his company had completed $1.5 million in renovation work within 16 months.
That happened in June 2011, when Brown became the owner. The 11-story hotel has 100 guest rooms and retail space on the ground floor, he said.
He and two employees are continuing to restore the Grand, but he acknowledged the work will proceed slowly until he lines up other investors for the property. He estimated the cost of completing the work would range from $6 million to $12 million, depending upon future use of the building.
"I've stayed committed to it," Brown said. "We used to have a lot more love in our hearts for these old buildings. It's not that we can't restore them; we don't even try."
The pull between the community's love for its historic buildings and brutal economic reality has so far kept the wrecking ball away from Harder Hall and Grand Hotel.
Hoffman noted the city agreed to back the HUD loan after people packed the city commission chambers to overflowing in December 2004. Many pleaded with commissioners to back Harder Hall's restoration and nobody spoke against it.
Sebring Commissioner John Griffin said he believes the community support is still there.
"People still have memories of their weddings and other significant events in their lives that happened at Harder Hall. They wouldn't want to tear it down," Griffin said.
But some in the community who see futility in continuing the search for a savior with deep enough pockets are becoming more vocal about tearing down Harder Hall.
The same cries were heard in Lakeland before the city sealed the deals for the Regency and Terrace restorations, Studiale said. In fact, the Lakeland City Commission had voted unanimously to tear the Regency down before Studiale bought time to find a buyer.
Sebring Commissioner Bud Whitlock voted nine years ago to back the HUD loan, but he now agrees the building should be torn down so the city can sell the 13-acre property. The land alone, less than a block off U.S. 27, probably has more value without the building, he said.
"There was a lot of sentimental value from some long-time residents who had their proms there," Whitlock said. "It's too far gone now to save. "Even now it (demolition) would be controversial, but the longer Harder Hall sits there, the less support restoration gets."

I am trying to find some information, specifically poll results on platforms and languages used for GIS software solutions. I remember taking one but I cannot find the poll to see the results, it may have even been an ESRI poll for all I know. Can anybody point me to any of those results who may know where they had been squirreled away to?
I suppose this is a race for the first person to suggest google.com.

What's the difference between these two sentences:
- Mon but est faire le bien autour de moi.
- Mon but est de faire le bien autour de moi.
What's the difference between these two sentences:
In that situation, de is used to build a prepositional group (de faire le bien autour de moi).
This prepositional group is the attribute of the subject. There are different kinds of constructions for the attribute of the subject:
In the second sentence the "de" has the same role than the "to" when you say
The first sentence is wrong. It would be similar than saying in English:
According to the Banque de dépannage linguistique, it is a pecularity of the infinitive phrases that are arguments of être if the subject is not an infinitive itself : such constructions have to begin by de. I'd have a hard time trying to derive a general rule from this

The Party
After earning a four-star portfolio in Los Angeles, O'ahu-born interior designer Summer Jensen threw an exclusive fete at the Trump International Hotel Waikiki Beach Walk to introduce her boutique studio Hawk & Co. to Honolulu's design aficionados.
The Scene
Stunning city and ocean views in a 38th-floor penthouse created a perfect setting for the VIP crowd of chic culturati, real estate and development moguls, and beautiful people, who sipped on the likes of guava caipirinhas spiked with premium Double Cross vodka.
The Highlights
As the daughter of the late, legendary local entertainer Dick Jensen, Summer proved she knew how to put on a show. While up-and-coming performer Tavana set the mood with a funky groove, guests were later treated to two special appearances. Slack-key star Makana jammed a set of acoustic tunes, only to be joined afterward by Nā Hōkū Hanohano award-winner Raiatea Helm. The impromptu duo sang a flawless rendition of the classic Hawaiian tune "Ka Uluwehi o Ke Kai," to which Summer danced a perfect hula. –Photos by Tracy Chan

Will the resolution or the aspect ratio be different if I take a 500x500px screen-capture or screencap when I am using a Retina Display compared to a standard HD screen?
Screenshots on Retina Macs are exactly what you may expect: They're double the resolution and pixel density of non-Retina Macs. For a Retina MacBook Pro, full screen grabs are 2880×1800, with the pixel dimensions of elements double the size.
When overlaid with a screenshot of a non-Retina Mac, so that they're both the same physical size, the elements on the screen are the same size and position.
It's worth noting the difference of points and pixels on Retina Macs and Retina iOS devices:
iOS Human Interface Guidelines: Platform Characteristics
All Macs and iOS devices have a square pixel aspect ratio. Mac and iOS devices have different display aspect ratios though (for example, the iPad is 4:3 and a lot of Macs are 16:10).

At the 2012 Winter Luncheon, Columbia Law School honored top Pentagon lawyer Jeh C. Johnson '82 and businessman Richard P. Richman '72 J.D., '73 M.B.A. with its most prestigious award, the Medal for Excellence.
Before a crowd of more than 300 at the Waldorf=Astoria, David M. Schizer, Dean and the Lucy G. Moses Professor of Law, praised the two men for their contributions to public life and their commitment to the intellectual ideals of the Columbia Law School community. "Our two honorees this year each exemplify our school's core values of excellence, integrity, and service," Dean Schizer told the audience.
In presenting the award to Johnson, the general counsel of the Department of Defense, Dean Schizer lauded him for working on many of society's most important and challenging legal issues, including the repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. In an emotional acceptance speech, Johnson told the story of a young Navy lieutenant who was blinded during combat in Afghanistan but is now running long-distance races and training to swim in the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games. "Stories like this are common among these brave young people," Johnson said. "So, I accept this award knowing that 'excellence' is a relative term."
Following Johnson's speech, Dean Schizer paid tribute to Richman, the founder and chairman of The Richman Group, one of the largest owners and developers of rental housing in the nation. "Thousands of people across the country benefit from Rich's work, and his wisdom, creativity, and energy infuse every aspect of the company's operations," Dean Schizer said. Richman has funded a scholarship program at the Law School and helped the Law School and Business School launch the Richard Paul Richman Center for Business, Law, and Public Policy.
In his speech, the honoree thanked Columbia Law School for playing a pivotal role in his academic, professional, and personal growth. "I cannot say enough what a difference Columbia Law School has made in my life," Richman noted.

[Washington, DC] -- Saudi security forces yesterday foiled planned acts of terrorism and seized large quantities of weapons and explosives found in vehicles and a house in Riyadh. Security forces are searching for 19 individuals, including a man holding Canadian and Kuwaiti passports and a Yemeni, and have called on citizens to contact the authorities regarding any information they may have.
The individuals are suspected of complicity in an explosion that occurred in the eastern part of Riyadh on March 18 and have been under surveillance for some time.
Items seized from the terrorists' cars and house included 377 kg of highly explosive paste, 7 AK-47 machine guns, and some 2,500 bullets, as well as five computers and accessories, communication equipment and cash (SR 252,717 and US $ 5,300).
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has broken up a number of terrorist cells and continues to contribute to the arrest of major Al-Qaeda members. While the Kingdom is pleased at the results of foiling this terrorist plot, there remains much to do to rid the world of the scourge of terrorism. Saudi Arabia is a leader in the War on Terrorism and continues to be committed to peace throughout the world.


text: I know this lesson doesn't seem like much, but it's actually the logo for a sports team based out of San Diego. Up next we will explore "how to draw the San Diego Chargers" logo, step by step. As you can see the drawing is a simple one piece sketch on a curved thunder bolt or a charge symbol. There is only a total of three drawing step and one line art step which means you will be finishing this lesson in no time at all. The San Diego Chargers have been part of the National Football League since 1970. I think they even made news for defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars with a score of 24-6. If you are a Chargers fan, you will enjoy this lesson on drawing their logo. I will be back in a bit with some really fun and exciting tuts so stick around.

The book, which offers questions and problems aimed at generating classroom discussion, also devotes significant attention to the issue of secondary liability and safe harbors for internet service providers.


text: I started writing out this lesson yesterday but I once again got side tracked and started doing something else. So here I am today ready to finish something I started. Up next we are going to be diving into a tutorial that will show you "how to draw a possum for kids", step by step. The actual correct spelling of this rodent's name is opossum, but we spell and say it like the 'o' is silent. Possum's are one of the animals on my top ten nastiest animals list. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way by saying that, but I can't help it, the possum is an ugly, ratty looking animal that creeps me out. In order for younger artists to want to even draw such a hideous looking species, I decided to try and make my possum creation somewhat viewable. I managed to create a cute looking version of a possum, and I think you will have fun drawing it out. I will dismiss myself so you can get busy. I still have more drawing fun coming your way so stay tuned in to see what's next.

Though most active at night, the Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus, is unlike other nocturnal animals. Instead of strictly sleeping during the day and being awake during the night, this popular pet's day is divided into varying cycles of rest and sociable, playful activity. One of eighty-seven known species of gerbils worldwide, the Mongolian gerbil can become quite tame and has a naturally curious disposition. In fact, when they discover a new object or sound, this gerbil is more likely to investigate than run away and hide - which is probably why they are the most common species of pet gerbils and have been since the mid 1800's.
Gerbils are members of the rodent family. They are naturally social creatures. As such, they are best kept in same sexed pairs or groups although adult females may fight. Within the group, each gerbil will wrestle, play, and groom one another. They communicate with each other through a series of high-pitched squeaks and also pound both hind feet on the ground in varying patterns and loudness, which is known as "thumping." Though males are slightly larger than females, the average adult gerbil measures about four inches long, with a four inch long tail. They can weigh anywhere between two and five ounces. The average life span is two to three years, though some cases of a gerbil living over five years have been reported.
Because of their small size, people often confuse gerbils for mice. However, gerbils are quite different from their rodent cousins. Gerbils typically have a tail equal in length to their bodies. The tail is covered in fur and ends with a tuft of fur. Their eyes are either dark black or deep red. The most common Mongolian gerbil is agouti colored, where each hair is banded with gray, yellow, and black stripes and the underbelly is off-white. However, numerous color variations have been bred over the years, including black, blue, lilac, slate, Himalayan white, nutmeg, honey, golden, or cream. In addition, numerous spotted, lightened, or combined variations are also available.
#1 Preventable Health Problem:
Like all rodents, a gerbil's upper incisors continually grow throughout his lifetime. To help keep your gerbil's teeth clean and worn, offer him chew toys and chew treats. In addition, because a gerbil's tail is so long and fragile, it can easily become injured. To help prevent this, ensure his cage is free from any sharp or protruding edges on which his tail could become caught. Handle the gerbil gently and avoid hanging onto the tail.
Gerbils are kings of digging and burrowing. In the wild, they will dig a massive system of tunnels and rooms deep in the ground. To satisfy this instinctive need for security and nesting, ensure your chosen cage has at least two to three inches of suitable bedding. In addition, offer your gerbil a shredable nesting material that he can pull apart and use as he fancies.
Best Features:
It is fascinating to watch how these sociable and curious animals interact with each other. Though they will groom themselves, gerbils often lay belly-up on the ground in front of a companion for grooming. They also playfully wrestle, box, and chase each other around their home. But a gerbil's most unique trait is how he "thumps" his hind feet on the ground to communicate with his gerbil companions. Sometimes loud and fast, sometimes quiet and slow, each thumping pattern signifies a different meaning. And once one gerbil begins to thump, all others in the area will usually join in; together a group of Mongolian gerbils can create a symphony of noise often unusual to such small creatures.
Native to the arid, desert regions of Mongolia, gerbils are active animals who can jump fairly high. Therefore, their cage needs to be large enough to encourage their playful activity and house at least one other gerbil as a companion, while also being secure. Since gerbils are also notorious chewers, his cage and accessories, food dish and water bottle, and toys need to be continually monitored for damage and instantly removed from his environment if damage is visible. Also, gerbils need at least two to three inches of suitable bedding to encourage their need to dig and burrow.
Though gerbils are typical desert animals who, in the wild, obtain most of their needed water from the foods they eat, caged gerbils still need a daily, fresh source of water. Their diet should consist of quality, pellet foods.Occasional small treats, a very small amount of seed, and small amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables can also be offered.

I read an article about carbohydrates and was wondering which I should consume before starting an exercise.
Simple carbohydrates or the complex ones? And does it really matter or anything goes? Does it depend on which are fastest to get digested?
I read an article about carbohydrates and was wondering which I should consume before starting an exercise.
Simple carbohydrates or the complex ones? And does it really matter or anything goes? Does it depend on which are fastest to get digested?
What type of exercise? If it's short burst exercise such as the anaerobic exercise of body building, then simple carbohydrates are better: baked potato with cheese. For long aerobic exercise such as marathon running, slow burning complex carbohydrates work best - pitta breads, pasta.
This book goes into a lot more detail:
As you're not a professional athlete (I'm guessing), or even if you were, it's really whatever works best for your body based on the sport and the food which takes a few months of trial and error.
When looking at the type of exercises you are planning, you don't have as high a demand for carbohydrates as someone who is long distance running or weightlifting. The type of carbs really has to depend on when you intend to ingest them. I've been weightlifting for a while, and I really don't need the spike that Chris S's answer suggests. In fact, for my purposes all I need is energy which can come from carbs or fat.
In general, a slow burning carb is better for exercise. Slow burning carbs take up to 12 hours to properly digest, so it should be eaten well in advance of your exercise. This is why runners tend to carbo-load the night before they run and run in the morning. That morning they will have something that is higher in protein.
The bottom line is that both walking and yoga is in no danger of depleting your normal energy stores unless you've been fasting all day before you exercise. You can walk for hours on end without needing additional carbohydrates. Jogging is a little more demanding, but still you would be OK with replenishing the carbohydrates after you work out rather than before.
Also, it is safe to say that the highly processed carbs that you find in candy and sugar sodas (not diet) are too easily absorbed by the body. While they can grant you a quick energy boost for a few minutes, when your body is done with this unnaturally high level of nervous energy it crashes and leaves you with less energy than before you ate them. In short your insulin processed too much sugar and temporarily left you a little hypoglycemic. No carbs should be simpler than whole fruit (not dried) or potatoes. Your body is able to deal with these carbs and not overcompensate.
I'd say go for the complex ones (like e.g. rice as opposed to candy or soda), because you don't want your bloodsugar to spike and crash too early in your workout.

Great route, well stocked rest stops, friendly volunteers. And my kids got fitted with new bike helmets.
Excellent condition of roads chosen, and the beautiful scenery along the way. Friendly volunteers at rest stops, of course.
As a first time EAP rider and from out of town (Ashville, NC), it was a very well organized event. I really liked the signs on the road, rest stops were right amount and plentiful and the cheering section at the end of the ride was awesome as were all the volunteers and THE PEACHES!

I seem to remember a patch to mutt that allowed to modify the path of the mailbox in mbox-hook in include the date. For example, you could have this:
mbox-hook Maildir +Archive/%y/%m/maildir
Which would save the emails in Archive/2011/12/maildir if they were send during December 2011.
Anyone knows what it was called or if it still is supported? I seem to remember that there was an option in the BSD ports to enable it but cannot find it now.
If not, does anyone know how I could achieve the same thing?

Am I asking too much of meringue to be able to keep a key lime pie in the refrigerator for 24 hours? The meringue ends up very wet at the end of that period. I keep it covered in the fridge.
The easiest way to prevent meringue from weeping is by adding a teaspoon of cornstarch to the recipe, which will absorb the excess moisture that causes it. If you're a bit adventurous, you can also opt to sprinkle some cookie crumbs over your filling so when it weeps, the crumbs will absorb the moisture.
Essentially a meringue in its most basic form is just egg whites whipped until the proteins coagulate and it traps air (to simplify the process). The meringue will weep in this form if it's over beaten and the liquid egg white splits out, it will also weep over time unless you stabilize it.
Sugar, stabilizes the whites however it can be further stabilized with 2 techniques.
Hope this helps!

Top 10 Part-Time Jobs for Teens
Teenagers earn more than just spending money at a part-time job -- they earn experience, financial independence, responsibility, and savings for college. Life as a teenager can be hectic between school, friends, and home. That's why part-time jobs should be fun, social, and flexible. Here are some popular jobs your teen can work after school and on the weekends to earn extra cash while gaining valuable experience for the future.
1 of 11
Babysitting is a tried and true way for any teenager who enjoys kids to make money. Neighbors, family friends, and relatives with small children often need help and want someone they know and trust. In order to offer more valuable services, teens can take classes on handling emergency situations and become certified in CPR and first aid. When a teenager proves her responsibility, reliability, and availability on a regular basis, her part-time business will be booming.

DateField getValue() vs getCurrentValue() javadoc improvement suggestion.
Required Information
Version(s) of GXT
Javadoc for getValue() :
Gets this object's value. Specified by: getValue() in HasValue, getValue() in TakesValue
Returns: the object's value
Returns the field's current value. The value of the field is not updated until the field is blurred when editing.
Returns: the current value
The real cause of the problem : http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...ng-date-picker
Last edited by Foxtrot; 6 Dec 2012 at 12:38 AM. Reason: additional information.
6 Dec 2012 1:32 PM #2
The method getValue() should return the last finished value - this matches the last ValueChangeEvent (and the DOM ChangeEvent), and follows how html elements work. In contrast, getCurrentValue() is present in ValueBaseField and all subclasses to allow someone to read a *possibly inconsisent* value as the user is entering it.
The standard workflow for a user is to enter a field, make changes, and leave after they are finished. While it is true that they might not leave right away after they are finished, it is certainly true that they will not leave *before* they are finished.
Consider a DateField - if I am manually typing in the date, getCurrentValue() will return a value when my characters can be construed to be valid (1/1/2012), but if I continue making changes, it may change (1/21/2012). Then, other changes will make the value null (1/1 or 1/41/2012) when the user is probably not finished, but doesn't intend to leave the field as invalid.
The TakesValue, HasValueChangeHandlers interfaces are being used to indicate "here is a value the user has settled on and accepted". HasValue brings these two together, and we see this as the most consistent way to satisfy the declared methods getValue() and addValueChangeHandler(...). We provide getCurrentValue in case you really want a moment-by-moment view of what other modification they have made.
If we fired a ValueChangeEvent after every keystroke, I could see a case for changing getValue's behavior, but we do not, and do not intend to change that event.
We are certainly open to discussion on these matters though - an API describes how the library can be used, so the users should certainly be involved in helping to mold it.
From Darrell's recent post, it appears the linked thread you provided is behaving correctly - do you have an example of it not working?
7 Dec 2012 12:47 PM #3
Thanks for the compleet writeout now I understand why there are two methods. To prevent the user form typing a strange dateformat , I set the editable property to false, the user is then forced to choose a date using the datepicker.
Here is a simple code example:

I know there have been solutions for previous versions of Ubuntu, but what is the best way to go about it now?
As an aside, if I have it disabled the splash is fine, but before the login manager shows there is a weird torn up flicker of sorts.
Any help is appreciated.

I'm learning now Horayos, and it seems to me that Rashi there is somewhat different. Too verbose, I would say. Are there any sources that in Horayos Rashi is indeed Rashi, or it is not?

When I learned a few of the Dapim in Horayos almost a couple years ago, my Chavrusa told me that according to some opinions, the commentary attributed to Rashi was not written by him. Therefore, it is not called Rashi, and is instead called Mefareish.

I have heard one said you do not want to use Dynamic SQL. Can you give some concrete example or real-life example? Personally, I code it a few times in my database. I think it is OK because it's flexibility. My guess is about SQL Injection or Performance. Anything else?

Dynamic SQL is a tool. And as a tool have some applications - for administrative works is a blessing, for example.
Not so good on SP used by applications, specially if you didn't manage the parametrization of the generated code(latest versions of SQL Server reduced the problems, but still valid).
I won't enter in detail here, so I'll recommend an excellent article on Dynamic SQL issues: The Curse and Blessings of Dynamic SQL by MVP Erland Sommarskog.
There is nothing wrong with using dynamic SQL if you must. In fact in some circumstances it is the only option that you have. It is more of a recommendation not to use it as yes it can lead to a SQL injection if your input is not sanitized, and yes using dynamic SQL in modules that get called often can be detrimental to it's performance.
I don't think there is a concrete example as per se but I would say this: Try to achieve what you are after using regular queries and statements first - only then once you have exhausted all other avenues do it dynamically. Just remember that executing a dynamic SQL string is done in a separate user session to the module that is calling it - so you may encounter permissions issues where you are not expecting any.
If your worried about performance; test it. If your worried about security; validate your input. There is no right or wrong - only that you use your best judgement based on the information and tools you have available to you at the time.

Watch: Hillary Clinton, Ron Johnson in testy exchange on Benghazi
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton angrily disputed Sen. Ron Johnson's (R-Wis.) account of events at the U.S. Consulate in Libya last year, in hearings today.
Johnson insisted the Obama administration purposely misled the public by describing the attack as a spontaneous protest.
This caused Clinton to erupt: "Was it because of a protest or was it because of some guys out for a walk who decided to kill Americans. What difference does it make?" »Read Full Blog Post(45)
Mileage fee, higher gas tax urged
Madison - A state commission on Wednesday recommended raising the gas tax by 5 cents a gallon and creating a new, mileage-based fee - ideas the top two leaders in the state Assembly immediately shot down.
"Any increase in the state gas tax is simply off the table," Assembly Majority Leader Scott Suder (R-Abbotsford) said in a statement.
In the same news release, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) said he and Suder would not back the proposed mileage-based fee. »Read Full Article(448)
Heritage festival will take one-year break
Because of construction on the grounds of Milwaukee's veterans hospital complex, a popular patriotic event that draws thousands of people will not be held this year.
Reclaiming Our Heritage is taking a one-year break, organizers said, and will return in 2014.
The event was supposed to end with the gathering in 2011 but was continued last year because of an outpouring from Wisconsin's veterans community, which has embraced Reclaiming Our Heritage as a way to heal from the psychological wounds of war. But Reclaiming Our Heritage organizers announced this month that the director of the Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Center asked for a one-year hiatus. »Read Full Article(5)

War Memorial management deal deadlocks
Negotiations over a management agreement on operating the iconic War Memorial Center on the lakefront have hit a standstill, according to Milwaukee Art Museum officials.
In their view, negotiators for the Memorial Center have tried to add unacceptable terms on who controls a north parking lot, who pays for building security and how long the museum has to raise the $15 million it's promised toward a sparkling $25 million renovation and addition.
The lead negotiator for the Memorial Center said he was surprised by the museum's declaration of an impasse and suggested that might be a ploy by the museum leaders to stall for more time to raise the $15 million for renovating galleries and adding to the east side of the building. »Read Full Article(7)
Clashes erupt at mining bill hearing
Opposing camps clashed on Wednesday at the Capitol over Republican-backed mining legislation that could open the door to a massive iron ore mine in Ashland and Iron counties.
Backers of the legislation touted the economics of a mine and said that environmental safeguards have been built into their iron mining bill.
But opponents said the bill would weaken protections, especially for wetlands, groundwater and some surface water. »Read Full Article(263)

Twiggy the squirrel is nuts about water skiing
Flying squirrels have nothing on Twiggy: This squirrel can water ski.
He can also jet ski, wakeboard and hang glide. And he loves the spotlight. A camera clicks and Twiggy turns his attention toward the sound. He'll pose for pictures on spectators' heads, even jumping from one to another. He has been delighting crowds and helping children learn about water safety for 33 years - well, he and his ancestors have been.
Although Twiggy has appeared on television shows from Letterman to "American Idol" and been featured in publications from The Wall Street Journal to Sports Illustrated Kids, he is a squirrel of few words. »Read Full Article(5)
Gilda's Club chapter in Madison area sticks with name
Madison - Stung by the overwhelmingly negative reaction to removing the name of original "Saturday Night Live" cast member Gilda Radner from a cancer support group's title, the Madison chapter is borrowing one of the comedian's catchphrases for its next announcement: Never mind.
Gilda's Club Madison will remain just that, group leaders told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The board voted last week to keep the name after an avalanche of criticism in November when it announced it was switching to the more generic Cancer Support Community Southwest Wisconsin, in part out of concern that young people today were unfamiliar with Radner, who died of ovarian cancer in 1989.
"It really struck a chord with folks and all of us agreed we want people to come to Gilda's and get the help that they need," said Wayne Harris, chairman of the board for the Madison chapter. "If this is what it takes to make that happen, we're all as a group happy to make it happen." »Read Full Article

Further bird flu research urged
A year after bird flu scientists agreed to stop research into how only a few mutations in a deadly H5N1 virus could enable it to spread among mammals, they announced Wednesday that research should resume because it's vital to preparing for a possible pandemic, should such a virus emerge in nature and threaten humans.
The lab research won't resume, though, in the United States - including at the University of Wisconsin-Madison - until the government and the National Institutes of Health, which finances the research, set biosafety and biosecurity requirements for H5N1 virus transmission research to continue.
Those guidelines could come soon, or they could take much longer, two high-profile scientists involved in the research said during a briefing with journalists after their announcement Wednesday. »Read Full Article(2)

Bucks GM John Hammond gets three-year extension
Milwaukee Bucks general manager John Hammond will sign a three-year contract extension Wednesday, according to league sources.

Trees mowed down at Wauwatosa's Innovation Park
If you live near Watertown Plank Road and thought you heard the sound of a buzz saw Monday morning, you weren't dreaming. Dozens if not hundreds of trees at the nascent Innovation Park were cut down or pulled up by the roots by big mechanical tractors that crawled over the land. The sight of the felled trees from the road - piled in loose stacks - was itself a spectacle.
The trees were removed to make way for Discovery Parkway, said David Gilbert, president of the University of Milwaukee Real Estate Foundation, which owns the land.
An early plan for Innovation Park was to have the road cut in west of the County Parks Building, Gilbert said. But state plans to create a looping, high-speed interchange at Watertown Plank and Highway 45 forced Discovery Parkway to the east end of the parcel, almost as far as it can go. »Read Full Article(36)

Democrats want more input in this morning's mining hearing
Democrats are complaining this morning about the way the chairs are handling joint legislative mining committees that are holding a hearing to review proposed mining legislation advanced by Republicans.
The mining hearing drew extra security from Capitol Police as visitors filled the more than 100-seat hearing room, which is as large as any in the statehouse. Scores of attendees had to listen to the hearing in two separate overflow rooms.
In a media conference held nearby during the hearing, three key Republican lawmakers on mining said that they would be interested in speaking with sponsors of an alternative mining bill, and perhaps drawing elements from it, but signaled they would be unlikely to hold another hearing on that second bill. »Read Full Blog Post(123)

An Italian-style deli and a speakeasy planned for Third Ward
An Italian-style deli will open at the front of 218 N. Water St., the former Nuovo Centanni piano bar, and a speakeasy will be installed at the back of the space.
Centanni, a SURG Restaurant Group property, closed in October. Around late March, the group will replace it with Giovanni's Italian Deli, featuring cured meats made by the staff, and with Bugsy's Back Alley Saloon. Bar guests would be buzzed in from the deli or the alley, said Mike Polaski, a SURG partner.
The counter-service Giovanni's eventually will make all its cured meats, such as salami, bresaola, mortadella and prosciutto. It would have salads, pastas such as house-made ravioli and daily specials, like Sicilian steak. It also will stock bread, butter, jams, olives, wines and Italian liqueurs. Sundays, it would sell hot ham and rolls. »Read Full Blog Post
Suspected voter fraud cases under investigation
Milwaukee County prosecutors are investigating at least two instances of suspected voter fraud from the presidential election in November, court records reveal.
Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf confirmed Tuesday only that his office is looking at several referrals from area clerks after the November election, and not all of the reviews require subpoenas like those recently made public in the two cases.
In one matter, investigators seek records that might prove Leonard K. Brown voted twice in the November election, once in Milwaukee and again in West Milwaukee. The other suggests a Mukwonago man voted there and in West Allis. »Read Full Article(108)
FBI captures 'Ray Bandit' bank robbery suspect
The FBI has captured a man called the "Ray Bandit," named for the sunglasses authorities say he wore during a string of 17 bank robberies in seven states, including one in Janesville, according to a report in the Janesville Gazette.
The man, Jeremy Evans, 30, of Carol Stream, Ill., was arrested Jan. 15 in Illinois.
Man's bail was lowered before he killed fiancée, prosecutors say
Balsam Lake - Prosecutors in northwestern Wisconsin say a man with a violent criminal history was freed from the Polk County Jail on a reduced bail and two weeks later brutally killed his fiancée.
Medical personnel and police testified during a preliminary hearing Tuesday about the extensive injuries to Kari Roberts, 47, whose body was found in her Milltown apartment Dec. 1. A criminal complaint says Scott Youngmark, 45, stabbed Roberts in the hips and thighs, fractured bones in her face and caused other sharp force injuries.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press says 15 days before Roberts was found slain, a judge lowered Youngmark's bond for bail jumping from $10,000 to $500. Court records show Roberts' violent behavior includes a long list of convictions in Minnesota dating back to 1986. (9)
An update on Milwaukee's streetcar project
The city plans to release the proposed route of the Milwaukee streetcar project by late spring or early summer, and hopes to begin construction of the streetcar guideway in spring 2014.
The schedule was included in a filing with the state's Public Service Commission. The PSC has not yet ruled on whether the city or utilities must pay for moving utility lines out of the way of the streetcar route, a cost utilities have estimated at more than $55 million.
The city has allocated $64.6 million - funded by $54.9 million in federal aid and $9.7 million from a tax-incremental financing district - to pay for construction of the modern streetcar line from the lower east side to the downtown Amtrak/Greyhound station. »Read Full Blog Post(182)

Riverwest Filling Station, which I first told you about in May, is set to open 5 p.m. Jan. 29 at 701 E. Keefe Ave., after extensive remodeling of the former Albanese's Italian Restaurant.
Some of the remodeling involved unearthing original features such as a hardwood floor; some of it was modern additions, such as the contemporary grid of windows across the front of the building.
The restaurant will serve sandwiches and entrees. At the bar, it will have 30 domestic craft and imported beers, 10 wines including two on tap, and a focus on whiskeys. Guests also will be able to get growlers of beer filled to take home -- hence the Filling Station's name. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

Country Thunder 2013 sells out six months early
Hopefully any Wisconsin country music fans who were eager to party with the biggest stars this summer at Country Thunder were thinking way ahead and already purchased their tickets. The annual four-day country music festival in Twin Lakes is already sold out six months in advance of its July 18-21 run, event organizers announced Tuesday. In addition to all multi-day passes already being gobbled up, no single day tickets will be available either.
One of a large number of country festivals across Wisconsin each summer, Country Thunder has grown in recent years to draw fans from across the nation to camp out in Southeastern Wisconsin and see a lineup of some of the genre's biggest stars. Last year's festival attendance topped 33,000. That was also a sell out, but one that only came days before the festival began.
This year's festival is headlined across its Thursday through Sunday run by Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and Jake Owen. Those big names are just each night's closer. The full mainstage lineup is a who's who of established acts and rising newcomers, including Little Big Town, Justin Moore, Chris Young, Lee Brice, Eden's Edge, Dustin Lynch, Phil Vassar and more. The event grounds also hold a Bluegrass Stage, Great American Country Stage and nightly electronic and dance music alongside an assortment of vendors and rides. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Sussex apartments proposal seeks village financing help
A developer who plans to build apartments at a former cannery site in Sussex is seeking village financing assistance.
Developer Art Sawall plans to begin construction in May on two 30-unit apartment buildings at the former Mammoth Springs Cannery Co., at Main St. and Waukesha Ave., according to an article at LivingLakeCountry.com by reporter Kelly Smith.
Smith also reports that the Community Development Authority has scheduled a Feb. 21 public hearing on a proposal to create a 40-acre tax incremental financing district that includes the development site. Later that evening, at the Plan Commission meeting, Sawall is to outline his proposal seeking a conditional use permit for the project.
Village funds would provide $2.1 million for public improvements and developer grants for the $21 million project, with the property tax revenue from the apartments paying off that debt. (5)
Golden Guernsey milk finally makes it to La Crosse
La Crosse - Volunteers distributed 5,000 gallons of free milk Tuesday in La Crosse - milk that at one time was headed for the Dumpster.
A delivery truck loaded with milk from the shuttered Golden Guernsey plant in Waukesha finally made it to La Crosse after breaking down in cold weather.
With temperatures in the single digits, volunteers dressed in layers of clothing handed out two or three pint cartons of milk as vehicles lined up at the distribution site. The milk was gone in about three hours.
The Golden Guernsey plant closed suddenly on Jan. 5, leaving schools and grocers in southeastern Wisconsin scrambling for dairy products. After some negotiating the plant's owner agreed to donate the products to the Hunger Task Force. (2)
Franklin Meijer proposal still alive, officials say
Franklin - City officials and a spokesman for Meijer this week said that the troubled proposal for the retailer to build a 190,000-square-foot store at Highway 100 and Loomis Road is not dead, despite the retailer's apparent progress in establishing a similar store in neighboring Oak Creek.
While Meijer has run into state agency issues regarding wetlands and traffic flow in Franklin, the company last week announced it is in the early stages of a deal with Oak Creek for a 193,000-square-foot store to help anchor the new Drexel Town Square property at Drexel and Howell avenues on the former site of Delphi.
Plan still in play
Meijer legal representative Brian Randall on Monday said the Oak Creek plan does not currently affect the Franklin plan. He noted that Meijer continues to seek state Department of Natural Resources approval for building next to Franklin wetlands and that the company most likely will have a formal statement regarding the Franklin store status within weeks. »Read Full Article(5)
