I manage a small school network with about 150 machines. I am looking for an easy way to deploy software to all the machines without having to visit each one.
I've used Symantec Ghost to get the machines all set up identically, but for one application, reghosting an entire network seems a step too far.
In the past, I've used Novell's ZenWorks which does this either with an MSI installer or by taking a snapshot of a machine before and after installation and then pushes the changes out to designated machines on the network.
This time round, however, I'm using Windows 2003 and have a limited (i.e. no) budget. I've not been able to get my head around the Group Policy installer so perhaps if anyone can point me to a good how-to, that would also be appreciated.
Your help is appreciated!

There may not be a Timmins native on the Ontario roster for the 2010 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, but the tournament will still be a homecoming of sorts for goaltender Chris Festarini.
It was in northern Ontario that Festarini kick-started his hockey career, although he started as a defenceman with the Iroquois Falls Junior Esks before making his first foray between the pipes.
"We tried everything to keep him out of the net," says Festarini's mom Nancy. "But by the time he was six years old, he was the lone goalie on the team."
After his first year in Novice, Chris' parents, Frank and Nancy, packed the family's bags and moved to the Toronto suburb of Oakville. It was during a summer hockey camp that Festarini had his first encounter with goalie coach Ron Mays, who has helped Chris in his journey to where he is today.
"My husband was standing by the boards, and saw Ron approach Chris," Nancy says. "When Frank went to see what was up, Ron told him, 'We might have something here!' "
By the time he was nine, Festarini was playing AAA for the Mississauga Rebels and stayed in the Greater Toronto Hockey League until his Minor Midget year, when he suited up for his hometown Oakville Rangers and eventually became the team's number one goalie.
In May, the Erie Otters selected Festarini in the fifth round of the OHL Priority Draft (90th overall), and after discussion with Otters GM Sherry Bassin, it was decided he would be best served playing a year with the Port Colborne Pirates of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League as the Junior B side's number one goalie.
Last summer, Festarini survived a regional under-17 camp and earned an invite as one of eight goaltenders to the final selection camp, where 84 of Ontario's best gathered. It was quite the process, as players were watched not only on, but off the ice, and were asked to answer 15 questions in an essay format.
"As parents, our job was to help him get to the rink, give him guidance and be supportive," says Nancy. "Once he got there, Chris knew he had to do the work, he had to perform."
And perform he did, earning a spot on the Ontario roster as the2010 host province goes for three gold medals in a row.
"We're so proud of him," says Nancy, the excitement evident in her voice. "It could have been anywhere in Canada, but now we have a huge order of tickets for friends and family."
While it won't be Festarini's first time back to northern Ontario – his family still spends summers at their cottage at Nellie Lake, less than an hour from Timmins, and visits his grandfather, who lives in Iroquois Falls – this trip will be a little different.
This time he will have a maple leaf on his chest as he takes another step in a career that has brought him full circle, back to where it all began.

It seems that a lot of misunderstanding of the Bible comes from scripture being taken out of context. What are some other rules or guidelines for taking a literal or first interpretation (like 'Jesus wept'), or figurative or second interpretation (like most of Revelations)?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
An important rule is "be humble." Recognize that your interpretation is likely to be wrong and certain to be incomplete. Be open to letting Holy Scripture change you.
A related rule is to study and interpret Holy Scripture in the company of others. You can gather in the flesh, and you can study in the company of scholars by reading their books.
Be as aware as you can of your own prejudices and spiritual blind spots as you engage with scripture.
Avoid using short "proof texts" and single translations. The more important the conclusion you draw from Holy Scripture, the broader the textual support you should enlist for your conclusion. Sometimes the one word that's most important to you doesn't mean precisely what you hope it means.
Let scripture fill you with joy.
Books can and have been written on this subject. Different traditions have different ways of interpreting the Bible.
If you have Protestant leanings, and wanting to do your own interpretation (in a group or alone) there are whole classes of books written about this, collectively called "Introductions" (a misleading term - they are not in any way basic or primers). I recommend my personal favourite: "How to Read the Bible for All It's Worth"
It's easy to take things out of context when the words that you use have different meanings then when they WERE first used. Not only has the Bible been translated into the English language, there has been thousands of years since the words were first used.
Hypothetically, if we spoke fluent Greek and Hebrew today we still wouldn't have the exact meaning of the words used during Biblical times. For example, the definition of Love in the English language today has one meaning. But the Greek's had four different definitions of that word.
Guideline One
In order to understand the context of which the passages were written in, you need to use the Scripture to define the Scripture. Thus start your Biblical studies by choosing a single word at a time and then finding all of the scripture that mentions that word. This way you'll begin to redefine your own meanings of the words with the definition formed from scripture.
Guideline Two
Empty your presumptions. You cannot accept anything that the Bible has to say if you're not willing to first loosen your own foothold on your beliefs. Most people are not willing to adjust their traditions when reading the Bible, they simple read the Bible and reinforce their own presumptions. Ignoring completely the verses that contradict their personal beliefs.
Guideline Three
If the Bible is true, as I believe that it is, then you cannot and will not understand the Scripture if you are not reborn. Thus, the reason that there are so many interpretations. In order to have the scripture opened up to you, you must first go to God in prayer and ask to be granted repentance. If you believe in Jesus then you will repent and accept Him as your Lord.
When interpreting the scriptures you must be sure to have all the facts that are available to ensure you understand what it is you are reading. The approach that you take when studying your bible is what will shape your understanding, so the best thing you can do is ensure your approach to your own bible studying is as effective as possible.
Here are the steps I take when I read the bible I:
Firstly take a few moments to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to be present with me and when I have managed to calm myself and can 'feel' the presence of the Holy Spirit I will then begin to read.
Secondly, and very importantly, I try and read a section entirely from beginning to end, rather than taking verses on their own because that is a sure way of taking a verse out of context too.
Thirdly, I will then try to imagine what the scripture would have meant to the people of the day and do a bit of research around that to be sure I have a good idea of the cultural significances and try to make myself aware of any other things which may be relevant through that research. Usually with a concordance, Strong's for example to be sure of the important words that have been translated in the text I am reading.
Fourthly, I will then try to understand how this can be relevant to me and my society today in modern times and then how it can be applied.
Finally, I would try to read in a few versions NKJV, ESV, AMP, NASB and others and maybe even the Message to be sure that I am not being confused. All in all I try to engage my spiritual and intellectual self and by inviting the Holy Spirit to be there to aid me in my learning.
Almost forgot, it is best to read a translation not an interpretation of the scriptures; also share what you read with other people to cross examine your understandings of the text. This will help you interpret the messages contained in the bible and how to apply them to your life more effectively.

Nebraska City police are investigating the report of a break-in and assault at a Nebraska City residence about the time of the thunderstorm on Friday night, Dec. 14.
Police Chief David Lacy said he is concerned about the recent report, as well as similar allegations made about two months ago.
He said police are processing evidence and still have questions regarding statements of alleged victims.
Police are investigating a report of a forced entry and assault at a Nebraska City apartment building earlier this fall. Lacy said investigators have not been able to confirm allegations of forced entry into the apartment.
"We'll have to address it as things go along," he said. "We just have to help each other and watch out for each other," he said.

I am editing a init.d script. The init.d script runs a utility script which then runs an process. From either bash scripts how would I make it launch the main process as a specific user and group?
The simplest way is to use the su(1) command, it has an option that allows you to run a command via the user's shell, example:
This will switch to the user foo and run the ls command. If the user you want to use does not have a valid shell (ie it's not in /etc/shells, like /bin/false or /sbin/nologin) you will also have to specify a shell on the command line. Example with output:

I know that Emacs was very popular a few decades ago, but now - when there are a lot of IDEs and text editors, is it still popular between us?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
When I read The Pragmatic Programmer and they suggested that one picks a text editor and learns to really use it, I chose Emacs and really I haven't looked back.
I don't use it for everything- if I'm developing .net I will tend to use Visual Studio because it's all set up for it, but for most web dev stuff I find it more helpful than an IDE and the extensibility makes it as powerful as your imagination.
I do think that to a lot of younger programmers it probably looks arcane ( an elegant weapon for a more civilised age ) and the need to learn keystrokes pretty much from the start is probably offputting to someone who doesn't really want to master it, although the benefits are remarkable.
It seems likely to me that tools like that are unlikely to appeal to younger programmers because they don't have the experience to appreciate the benefits of a truly powerful text editor. Coming to appreciate that is, perhaps, a sign of maturity in itself.
Also there are many more programmers now than there ever were. It may well be that there are more Emacs users than ever, but that they represent a smaller proportion of the programming population than they once did.
I'm 23. I've used Vim (yes, not Emacs, but still breaking a lance here for both) for 6 months now — 3 of them 8 hours a day at my job (JS/HTML/CSS).
Everyone holds their breath in awe when I change 20 lines of code in three seconds. Or when I scroll through files one page per half a second and still keep the context. Or when I get NerdTree and a 3x2 window setup open and navigate through the project in no time. Or when I do a complicated regular replace across 150 open buffers, saving them all at once afterwards (not even mighty TextMate can save all open files at once!). Or when I auto-complete across all open windows (including shells and file trees). Or when I indent the body of a function in two keystrokes. Or when I remap half of my keyboard to insert often-needed things with one keystroke. Or when...
Productivity is key, especially when you have tight schedules and need time to think about the solution. You just can't waste your time by spending most of it editing the code.
You're being paid for thinking. So use a tool that lets you think more and lets you flesh out your ideas quicker.
Vim lets you do this, while keeping you close to the code. (And it just looks friggin' impressive on a 30" monitor. :P)
By the way, it took me three tries to take the learning curve (a.k.a. walking up the wall). But these helped a lot. Just try it. Yes, it is different, and feels strange, but trust me: it's the same from the other side of the mirror. Using a mouse just feels stupid nowadays. It's a bit like riding a bike. Once you learn it, you don't want to walk anymore because it's so slow and less fun.
I'm 22 (I'm guessing this meets your definition of new generation) and I use Vim (admittedly not Emacs) when I'm working with languages that don't have a first class IDE (examples of languages that do would be C#, Java, and Scala IMHO). I tend to find that the shortcuts available are more powerful and increase my productivity compared to an editor like gEdit or Notepad++. There's definitely a learning curve involved but I see it as an investment.
So to answer your question, some young programmers do use Emacs but I'd imagine most don't.
Emacs and Vi(m) will never die as long as there are text based sessions via ssh and headless servers to be managed remotely. Systems administration is more about automation and automation is easier and quicker with command line interfaces. Command line interfaces demand powerful text editing software in a Terminal session.
Web interfaces are great, but what about when you don't have access to anything but ssh because of network restrictions or the poorly written server web interface requires IE 5.5 and your grandmothers machine only has IE 9.
Emacs is a different beast from Vi(m) and both have their places on all the machines that I have to deal with remotely.
Emacs is better for working on long editing sessions with multiple files at one time and for files that are supported with the very powerful
Vi(m) is better for changing a single line or two in a file and being done with it. I don't find that having to switch modes to be efficient, but for say git commit edits, Vi(m) is my preferred choice.
Windows only users probably don't have much use for either one of these text editors, they have the power of Notepad at their disposal, but for Unix/Linux and OSX users to a lesser extent, they are in-valuable.
There is a great introduction to Emacs at PeepCode.
That said, I would never consider editing code in great quantities of related files with either of these editors unless I absolutely had to.
Yes there are great Erlang, Ruby, Python, Javascript and Java modes for Emacs, but I prefer Intellij IDEA or even Eclipse for manipulating dozens and dozens of files for the code sense, refactoring, reformating and file management if nothing else.
And for editing one off local text files on my OSX machines I prefer SubEthaEdit over Emacs or Vi(m) when I don't want to load an entire IDE and just need to change a line or two.
Learning Emacs is like learning Latin, once you understand it, it gives you a perspective on all the other text editors that you come across that you would never have had before. This is greatly in part to Lisp. This is even more so once you learn Lisp, you gain a different paradigm to use to compare to the rest of the world of programming languages.
Oh, gosh yes.
I don't use it myself - I prefer GUI editors and vi. But I know lots of programmers in their twenties who use emacs and love it.
I think it's mostly a matter of personal preference, but if you're doing Unix/Linux/Mac OS X work at all, it's certainly handy to know either vi or emacs, since they're both likely to be present and usable if you can't get to a GUI for some reason. In fact, I'll often be working in a terminal window in Mac OS X or Ubuntu, and drop into vi to edit some text file.
In fact, it was pretty funny at my last job - one of the young emacs-heads started lecturing me about why I should quit using GUI editors in favor of emacs. I stroked my white beard a moment, and then cut him off and explained that I was quite aware of his arguments, having been proficient in vi when he was wearing diapers.
Depends on what you do.
I've been developing on Windows for 20 years, and on various linux/unices for about as long.
On unix/linux I usually use emacs, because it is big, fat, and all-singing. (And the younger generation carry on at me and use vim.)
On Windows for embedded work I use emacs, and for windows GUI development I use the IDE for the development environment.
I find younger people tend to frown on emacs... but they have also not pushed the boundaries to the same extent I do. Opening many files, have multiple panes on the same or different files, running grep and compilation inside the editor and being able to shove windows all over the place - easy in emacs. In most other environments, you can do about 3/4 of those tasks to greater or lesser extent. Its the things I can't do in the other environments that annoys the heck out of me... and keeps me in the land of emacs. (Which has its idiosyncracies too.)
I tried it once and hated it. Emacs and Vim seem to follow the general linux philosophy of extremely powerful but you're on your own to figure it out. Being powerful is useless if it's extremely difficult to use or provides little help. Even the man page isn't helpful since it tries to show everything emacs or vim can do at once. They assume that everyone referencing a man page is already an intermediate user vs a beginner.
When I want to do very basic Linux command line editing (usually when I'm SSHing into a box), I use
For any editing of substance (I'm talking about more than a very small config file), I use Notepad++ and SFTP. The existence of SFTP means that all the arguments of "Well what about when you SSH into a box?" are worthless. With Notepad++ I get a real interface with real buttons and real usability. I don't have to consult archaic man pages to figure out how to save a file, I know that since I'm on windows I go to File > Save just like every other Windows program.
Emacs and Vim do the one thing that makes me go elsewhere: They get in the way of me working. When every a program gets in the way of me accomplishing work, I go somewhere else. Even nano with its on screen help gets in the way since I lack a powerful editor.
tl;dr: I don't use Vim or Emacs
PS: I'm 18
Someday we may jack our brains directly into computers, but in the meantime all we've got are finger powered editors. Picking the right editor makes a difference; if you are going to be editing with an editor for more than a few hundred hours in the next year, take the time to learn one of the editors used by the best programmers. Really master a high-powered editor and you will program faster and better.
I've been programming for 45 years, and during that time I've written programs and used editors in every imaginable environment. I've also observed hundreds of programmers at work, at school, world-famous research centers, huge corporations, and start-ups. In general, I've noticed that a great majority of the very best programmers use either either vi or emacs.
Emacs and vi are free, open-source, and easily available on any unix-like system (e.g. Linux, FreeBSD, MacOSX) and with a little work can be installed on Windows. The are both powerful, extensible, and fast. Because of their longevity and ubiquity, learning one or the other is a good investment for any professional programmer. There are a number of alternative forks or implementations for each of these editors. The most active and best supported version of vi is currently vim (which comes installed on every version of Linux and Mac OSX). Standard Emacs (now at version 24) is the most widely used emacs, but there are forks like (mg--a small micro version that runs in a terminal window or aquamacs--standard emacs with a few MacOSX related modifications).
The other posters have raised excellent points, here is my take on some of them.
Aren't these editors hard to learn?
Why can't I use a mouse while editing?
Why do these two editors use such awful keybindings?
What about IDEs?
Aren't there any newer alternatives for a professional programmer?
What do I recommend?
Alternatives that wouldn't be my first choice as a primary editor, but are interesting nevertheless:
1) TextMate. I like this editor (by default it supports many of emacs keybindings) on the Mac. I install it on my development machines, but I don't use it much.
2) Vico. A very pretty reimplementation of Vi available on the Apple App Store. It's definitely vi, and although currently quite limited compared to vim it looks much more modern.
3) mg. Microemacs is available free on all platforms and provides the basic editing commands of emacs but lacks emacs's powerful extensions and many built-in commands. I find this is useful for editing over SSH or editing a remark made during a code check-in. A version of this is purportedly what Linus programs in.
One of basic rules of usability is consistency. This includes consistency with other software. Modern software shares same or at least similar keyboard bindings, similar look & feel etc. Emacs does not. It's completely different, thus for any one used only to modern software, it's usability nightmare.
I'm a crabby middle-aged programmer and I still have emacs up on my workstation all day long. Mostly, I just use it for org-mode and the occasional intelligent mass edit via macro or sophisticated regexp.
For real code, I use the IDE of choice: Visual Studio for .NET, Eclipse for Java. Emacs just hasn't kept up there. If I get back into Haskell or Python or something, it'll be emacs again, because, frankly, the more-recent editors just don't cut it when it comes to envelope-pushing time. They're fine for copy-and-paste programmers, though. :)
I just took a class from some young hotshot who was a heavy vim/autohotkey user. Did my heart good to see a young whippersnapper who didn't have to constantly go to the mouse.
A lot of the young developers I work with are addicted to cut-and-paste, which isn't seamless on vim (don't know about emacs). They also seem to prefer using the mouse to the keyboard for moving around in a file. The ones who have seen me use vim are either really impressed (if I do something like a global substitution using a regex and backreferences) or totally disinterested (if I just change or add a few lines). I think it's just too much of a paradigm shift for most of them, and since they don't know what they're missing, there's no real incentive for them to invest the time learning.
We had to use emacs in college for our C++ programming.
I hated it. Trying to a simple copy paste (ctrl-c, ctrl-v) does not work. After using these shortcuts for a decade trying to get into the new system just didn't seem worth it.
It might change if I saw one of my colleagues do amazing stuff with it. So far, this hasn't happened yet as noone here seems to use it.
No. Why use just a text editor when you can use a text editor that also comes with a debugger, Intellisense, profiler, etc?
Just a data point for you: I spent some time at an REU site this summer, working with 19-20 year olds majoring in math or computer science. The combined usage rate for vi and emacs was near 100%.
IMHO VI is the second worst editor ever made. Everything is obscure control sequences. No menus, no help, no function keys, no explanations. Press Ctrl+ something and you can do great; press Ctrl+ something else and you've just blown a day's work.
But VI is not as bad as emacs. Emacs is VI with macros. Which means that not only are you dealing with mysterious obscure Ctrl sequences, but the guy who runs that particular computer may have redefined them to something else entirely. VI is bad but in theory predictable; emacs isn't even in theory predictable.
Of coure, all this is based on Unix twenty years ago. As long as there is ANY other text editor available, I will not touch either of them.
I'm 31, not the new new generation, but still pretty new. Back in 2002 when I was an undergrad, only an elite few used vim or emacs in the computer labs. Most just opened up source files in notepad or some other editor (the college network mapped the unix home directories to a windows drive), made changes, and compiled. Even among the very few who used vi/emacs most tended to just know how to save/insert. Even at work when I see people use vi, most seem to use it to make a few quick changes and then escape/:w or something. At school I don't believe I ever saw a vi wizard, but I did see a few emacs wizards who really knew what they were doing.
I recently interviewed for a job and while there I had lunch with some potential co-workers and an intern. They were all emacs users except for the intern who swore by vim. He was going on and on about it and so excited. He really loved the keyboard shortcuts and claimed that there were some shortcuts in Vim that emacs did not have. Of course the other guys claimed that with emacs they could make whatever they want using LISP and started and mini-war... But overall this kid who was probably 20 or 21 was super enthralled with vim. I would say he is one of those who will carry VIM along through time....
In the masters program that I just finished people were allowed to make their programs wherever they wanted. Many were just using their own windows computers and Java/Visual Studio with their choice of windows editors. The majority of my peers were in their mid 20's I'd say. With a few older people like me in their late 20's and beyond. I did not meet anyone who was a vim/emacs expert. Most seemed to use pico/nano or one of the x editors for editing on the server. But again unix directories are mapped as windows drives. And for those using their own windows laptops, the terminal does not even enter into the issue.... (I have also seen more TextMate and Macs....)
Ultimately I tried both vi and emacs and I just don't like either. Emacs hurts my fingers (although on a normal keyboard it looks like the trick for control is to roll your wrist...on a laptop that doesn't work because of the keyboard), and vim/vi just are too different. The modal editing thing is clever, but escape is pretty far away from the other keys and often I am thinking about the code and forget to switch modes. Nevertheless vi is much easier on my fingers. Emacs seemed more natural but still many of the key sequences are non-intuitive. Pico/Nano/Joe/Jed are a bit closer to the editing style that DOS/Windows have accustomed me to. Moving the cursor with arrow keys and WYSIWYG editing.
Don't Think So
It's all a matter of personal preference per developer. I use a bit of Emacs and Notepad++ depending on what I'm working on, but with all the new mobile development I guess IDEs would be used in favour.
Does anyone know or work for software companies that solely use Emacs or tend to point people in that direction?
tl;dr: Not as popular anymore
I'm 26 years old, a .NET career programmer, and I use the right tool for the job. With .NET, that means Visual Studio. With a lot of other code or text, that means emacs. (Not to disparage on VIM, everyone has their favorite power text editor, and emacs is mine.)
There's just nothing to top it for so many cases. If I'm learning a new language that doesn't have mature tools yet: emacs. If I need to edit XML or edit a data file or regex search a big log file: emacs. When I need to organize my thoughts, my notes, and my tasks: emacs.
It took me a while to learn the basics and get used to mentally switching between "emacs mode" and "other editors mode" but now that I can, I'm happy I learned to use it. It's especially gratifying in those moments when I don't like how emacs works, so I go remap keys, or write some lisp code to change how things work or add new functionality. And now I have a tool for life, a powerful editor that I know will be there, will be useful to me, and will be on any platform I move to. I just bought a Macbook (my first Apple computer) and emacs was the very first thing I installed on it, and I was right at home.
Somethings never die, they only find new bodies to live in.

iPhone homescreen shortcut
I am getting a white screen when running my Sencha Touch 2.1 web app from an iphone home screen shortcut. My test page is a simple tab panel (code below). Everything works fine in iphone safari and from desktop safari. No javascript errors. However, it stops working when run from the home screen icon. I've had success with showing a regular panel and a list from the home screen shortcut. I've had failure (white screen) with the tabpanel and navigationview so far. Anyone else?
Ext.setup({ onReady: function () { Ext.Viewport.add( {xtype:'tabpanel', fullscreen: true, items: [{ title: 'Test' }] }); } });
13 Nov 2012 7:50 AM #2
I noticed the same thing with an app this morning. It was built with 2.0 and originally came up but when I closed it and reopened it It appears that it doesn't even load all of the files. My network spinner stops way to quickly. I deleted the icon and opened the page in Safari and when I imported the bookmark again it lost the Sencha default icon and still only shows a white screen. I would look in the Docs but I keep getting an error and can't pull them up.
13 Nov 2012 2:53 PM #3
I just rebuilt with 2.1 and the new commands app. It loads up fine now but the store doesn't load correctly once you shut the app down and try to relaunch. I use a login form that tries to post to the server but I get an internal error on the iPhone and the server logs show it isn't trying to access the server to post the form.
14 Nov 2012 8:15 AM #4
I am not using a custom build or icon for my test. The page below will not load from an IOS homescreen shortcut. I get a white screen. There is obviously a script error, but I can only get it to happen from the shortcut.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head > <title>Test</title> <link href="resources/css/sencha-touch.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="sencha-touch-all.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> Ext.setup({ onReady: function () { Ext.Viewport.add({ xtype: 'tabpanel', fullscreen: true, html: 'test', items: [{ xtype: 'panel', html: 'test', title: 'Test' }] }); } }); </script> </head> <body> </body> </html>

Same problem here
I get the same problem. Bookmarked apps on the iphone do not run! Just a white screen and a spinner.
- Generated via command line - they work. (via Sencha Cmd v22.214.171.124 with Sencha 2.1 SDK)
- Generated via Architect - they don't. (Sencha Architect 2.1.0 Build 670)

Found a way...
Seems that Sencha Architect produces only a subset of the files needed to deploy a proper sencha touch web app and have it work correctly as an app that can be bookmarked onto the iPhone home screen.
Working with info I found in this thread I was finally able to generate a sencha touch 2.1 app via Architect which can be bookmarked onto the iPhone home screen successfully by doing the following:
1. Generate a sencha touch app template using the Sencha Cmd v184.108.40.206 to create an app called e.g. GS2
sencha generate app GS2 ../GS2
2. Create a new Architect project and save it over the top (into the same location) as GS2
3. Edit GS2/index.html and insert the following line just above the <script id="microloader"... line.
<script type="text/javascript" src="app.js"></script>
You should now be able to run this index.html and the microloader will kick in and load the architect generated app. Changes to the architect generated app seem to save without clobbering anything and no more manual intervention is needed from now on. Its a pity this 'bootstrapping' process isn't built into Architect.

What about CSS references
Following on from my post, when I actually applied my own advice to an existing project with more things in it, I discovered that my custom css styles from my Architect project were not working.
Aha I thought - you obviously also need to copy any custom style links in app.html into index.html (which is what the original thread did say viz. "copy the links"). So in my own example, I did that e.g. index.html now has the line
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mycss/css1.css">
but this didn't work. The resulting index.html app still doesn't see the css1.css and various elements don't look right.
Anybody know what is going on here and how to get my css from architect to be loaded - possibly the microloader isn't seeing it or something?

Additional waiver information for F1-J1 Visa Holders Learn more...
Students who maintain other insurance coverage that meets the University's requirements as outlined below may apply to waive the NYU-sponsored plans by the appropriate deadline.
University Criteria for Waiving the NYU-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plans include:
|Insurance Effective Dates
|August 21st through August 20th of the following year
|January 9th through
August 20th
|May 14th through
August 20th
3. The plan must provide inpatient hospitalization benefits in the New York City area for medical/surgical, mental health, substance abuse, and alcohol-related illness or injury.
4. The plan must provide outpatient benefits in the New York City area (including office visits) for medical/surgical, mental health benefits, substance abuse, alcohol-related illness or injury, and laboratory and radiology procedures. Coverage limited to emergency care does not satisfy the requirement.
5. The maximum benefit payable under the insurance plan must be unlimited.
* For students in the LS Freshman Abroad program, their insurance company or government-issued health plan must be headquartered in their home country.
The following information should be available before accessing the online system during the enrollment/waiver period (see below):
Student ID number (shown on the student's admissions letter or on the back of the NYU ID card), and
Health insurance ID card and information about benefits, exclusions and coverage dates for the student's alternate health insurance plan.
International students with F-1 or J-1 visa status should click here to find additional information about waiving the Student Health Insurance Plans.
Students who successfully waived in the fall will have their waiver automatically remain in effect for the spring and summer semesters. However, they must repeat the waiver process again at the start of each academic year beginning in the fall.
Once the waiver process is completed, the waiver will apply as of the effective date of insurance for the term. (Example: Students, who submit a waiver on September 15th, will not be covered for any services that were rendered on or after August 21st of that year.)
Waivers will only be processed by the Insurance Department. No school or unit can waive students from the insurance plan.

I need to add a new receptacle to a room. The only convenient source of power for that receptacle in behind a light switch. The challenge is that the aforementioned switch is located on the end run of an existing split receptacle. So there is only 1 cable running into the switch box, coming from existing receptacle, and white wire is marked as hot. The existing receptacle is too far to be a viable solution to wire from there. My only option is from switch box. Am I out of luck?
That switch box contains 2 hots and no neutral. So without running any new wire, your only option would be to re-wire the outlet so that it is no longer switched and use the switch box as a junction box.
Here's a before and after diagram. Note that the "neutral" between the switch and the outlet is actually your white wire that has been relabeled hot.
Thinking about it again, you could make your NEW outlet switched in this configuration.
Oliver, the short answer to your specific question is YES, you are out of luck. The previous discussion is viable, but requires rewiring in the switched outlet to turn the conductors going to the switch back to the normal hot/neutral/ground configuration for use with a receptacle , and will result in no longer having a switch and original switched receptacle. Also note, if you do decide rewire the switched receptacle as a source for another receptacle, you may want to replace the actual receptacle because the bridging tab will have been removed if only one half of said receptacle was switched. Not necessary if both top and bottom are switched together. This is rare however.

Cape Minstrel Carnival 2012 – A Cape Town Tourism photo essay
The Cape Minstrel Carnival also known as Tweede Nuwe Jaar ("Second New Year") is a colourful celebration of Cape history and sees minstrels, dancers and marching bands performing on the streets of Cape Town. Our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. group members coda and snapclicktripod attended the carnival.
Says Damien (coda), "I took a walk down to Wale Street to catch some of the carnival. There were people everywhere all along the route, down side streets, on balconies. Restaurants and bars smart enough to be open were buzzing, and Long Street was exceptionally busy with a very festive vibe! I watched the parade for an hour and it was very entertaining; the energy in particular was highly addictive.
"I was expecting a more continuous parade of troupes rather than the controlled start/stop which broke the momentum and made it tiring as a spectator, but overall it was a really enjoyable experience, and one that the Mother City and its people should continue to nurture and support."
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!

Considered the most "superlative" hotel: the tallest, the best located, the most rooms, the biggest rooms, the most meeting rooms and biggest meeting rooms, the most cosmopolitan and the most centrally located Meliá Cuba hotel in Havana.
Combining art with a convention style and leisure ambience, while offering great value for money. An architecturally important building with 25 floors in 1950s style, the iconic Tryp Habana Libre is an reference point in the city for events and meetings, distinguished by its central location, decoration including works of art by well-known Cuban artists, and panoramic views of the city and the sea thanks to a location 137 metres above sea level.
This four star city hotel is located in the centre of Havana, in the popular area of La Rampa in Vedado, and near cinemas, theatres, the famous Coppelia ice cream parlour, Havana University, shopping malls and other tourist attractions. Its façade is covered by a large ceramic mural by the renowned Cuban artist Amelia Peláez and its urban interior gives it a casually elegant atmosphere.

Inspired by Marco Ceppi's DS_store question, I became curious about what the current preferred mechanism for submitting bug reports and feature requests to Apple for their software. I'm aware that they have the internal RDAR bug tracking system, and that there is an Open RDAR project to crowdsource the tracking of issues, but I'm at a loss as to the preferred channel to submit something.
Is there a public-facing portal for submitting issues?

I read this on Christine Caine's blog today... I think that it's a great reminder of how BIG our God is!!! I hope it encourages you ~ Scott
What Do You Believe?
Imagine how radically different our lives would be if we actually believed that Christ's power is at work within us. Imagine the confidence we would walk in, the miracles we would see, and the lives that would be changed as a result of God not being limited by our past, our problems, our disappointments, our limitations, or our circumstances.
The truth is... There is no problem He cannot solve.
There is no question He cannot answer.
There is no disease He cannot heal.
There is no demon He cannot cast out.
There is no enemy He cannot defeat.
There is no difficulty He cannot overcome.
There is no bondage He cannot break.
There is no need He cannot meet.
There is no mountain He cannot move.
There is nothing my God cannot do…that's true!

The apartment was not cleaned properly. There was a dirty, dusty fan, cutlery was not clean. Small apartment, very warm. Blankets, sheets and towels. Freezer compartment of the refrigerator was full of ice! Sofa was moderate to sleep. No wifi range! Dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator are provided. Near metro Austerlitz Jardin des Plantes, Mac Donalds, all less than 5 minutes walk.
Het appartement was niet goed schoongemaakt. Er was een vieze, stoffige ventilator, bestek was niet schoon. Klein appartement, erg warm. Dekens, lakens en handdoeken aanwezig. Vriesvak van de koelkast zat vol met ijs! Slaapbank was matig om op te slapen. Geen wifi bereik!!
Vaatwasser, magnetron en koelkast zijn aanwezig.
Vlak bij metro Austerlitz, jardin des plantes, Mac Donalds; allen nog geen 5 minuten lopen.
everything you need is in the house, the heating system works well, the location is great, the area is quiet, but the cleanliness is very poor, there is mold in the shower, there is a lot of dust under the bed and on the shelves, and there are webs on the chandelier and walls.
Apartment well located near the metro. Supermarkets nearby. Good value for money
Apartamento bien situado cerca del metro.
Supermercados cerca.
Buena relación calidad precio
I went here in oktober 2012 and the beds were not very good. The appartment was not clean and the shower had a lot of mold. I told the host about the mold, but it seems like he does not care. Still mold problems, even 2 years later.
I cannot recommend this appartment.
Very nice apartment in the centre of Paris with lots of bars, bistros and stores next to it. Metro station St. Etienne just around the corner. Everything was clean and tidy.
great location, just a bit cleaner could be
super gelegen, könnte nur ein bisschen sauberer sein
Small for 4 people, and that we went with two girls. Upon arrival we found that there were only sheets and towels for 2. We had to call the agency to fix it, the owner is an agency. They were brought up that afternoon.
The floor was dirty and worn, with mold in the corners of the shower, cobwebs on the ceiling, and the furniture in the old kitchen and also hichados moisture. We not cook because we were disgusted. Smelled musty, the bathroom has no ventilation. The sink faucet was loose. The lights did not work, only two lamps plug. fucionaba television and also, besides being old and become sticky. I do not recommend this apartment to a family with children. Dirt is not once, but a long time, so I think that the positive comments on this apartment are not real.
Pequeño para 4 personas, y eso que fuimos con dos niñas. Nada más llegar nos encontramos con que sólo había sábanas y toallas para 2. Tuvimos que llamar a la agencia para solucionarlo, el propietario es una agencia. Nos las trajeron esa misma tarde.
El piso estaba sucio y deteriorado, con moho en las esquinas de la ducha, telerañas en el techo, y los muebles de la cocina viejos y además hichados de humedad. No cocinamos porque nos dió asco. Olía a humedad, el baño no tiene ventilación. El grifo del lavabo estaba suelto. Las luces no funcionaban, sólo dos lámparas de enchufar. y la televisión tampoco fucionaba, además de ser antigua y estar pegajosa. No recomiendo este piso a ninguna familia con niños. La suciedad no es de una vez, sino de mucho tiempo, por lo que considero que los comentarios positivos sobre este apartamento no son reales.
are satisfied with the room that hosted us, the neighborhood is definitely very busy especially in the evening. Maybe for a family like ours with a 6 year old is not the ultimate in tranquility, but I want to specify that it was a free personal choice.
They are also satisfied the organization of windu
sono soddisfatta della stanza che ci ha ospitati, il quartiere è sicuramente molto movimentato soprattutto di sera. Forse per un nucleo familiare come il nostro con un bambino di 6 anni non è il massimo della tranquillità, ma tengo a specificare che è stata una libera scelta personale.
Sono soddisfatta anche dell'organizzazione di windu
OK. very close to the center !!! everything super accessible.
ok. sehr zentrumsnah!!! alles super erreichbar.
pros: -good the area, near the metro
. -close to supermarket, bakery, Starbucks .....
against: - the apartment and 'poorly maintained (broken toilet cup, no curtains ...) a little' dirty and to get there you have to climb a steep and narrow stairs, and also 'almost impossible to use the shower due to the ceiling too low
pro: -buona la zona,a due passi dalla metro
. -vicino a supermercato,panetteria,Starbucks.....
contro:- l'appartamento e' mal tenuto (tazza wc rotta,assenza di tende oscuranti...) un po' sporco e per arrivarci si deve salire una scala stretta e ripida,inoltre e' quasi impossibile utilizzare la doccia a causa del soffitto troppo basso

Question Is true that if all real conjugacy classes of a finite group are strongly real, then all its real irreducible representations (irreps) are "strongly real"(symmetric) ? And vice verse ?
Definitions: Irrep is called real if its Frobenius Schur indicator is either +1 or -1, but not 0. Irrep is called "symmetric" ("orthogonal" ("strongly real")) if it has FS-indicator +1, which is equivalent that it is possible to realize it over real numbers.
The conjugacy class is called "real" if g-> g^{-1} preserves it. It is called "strongly real" if it is product of two involutions.
Context It is known that number of real conjugacy classes is the same as number of real irreps. A. Knutson's asked MO: Are there "real" vs. "quaternionic" conjugacy classes in finite groups?, i.e. whether it is possible to split "real" conjugacy classes in two subclasses such that they will correspond to splitting of irreps. Tim Dokchitser answered that no such splitting may exist in general which will be automorphism covariant....
The question above is weakening the A. Knutson's question.
Actually it has been asked explicitly in the paper Real Elements and Schur Indices of a Group, Amit Kulshrestha, Anupam Singh, arxiv 2011 04.
Where the authors present some positive evidences for the question above, however their examples do not cover GAP's SmallGroups List...
SubQuestion How difficult to check this in GAP ? (I just installed it, but never played).

5 Underwater Creatures That Look Like Terrifying Nightmares
In our continuing quest to point out just how amazing and awful nature is, we continually find that all of the worst shit lives underwater. This is where you find nature's most disgusting, horrifying, and gleefully homicidal children.
But some citizens of Neptune's kingdom go another route, taking on guises that look less like nightmares and more like surreal hallucinations that exist only in the mind of someone who just gobbled a handful of peyote buttons after a nice Robitussin aperitif. Like ...
#5. The Glowing Red UFO Jellyfish
Remember how, in the movie Avatar, all of the "exotic" creatures on that alien planet looked like tall, painted humans or slightly modified versions of wildlife from any average Earth jungle? Think about how crazy that is when we have creatures as alien as the Atolla jellyfish living right in our own motherfucking ocean:
NOAA Ocean Explorer, via Wikipedia
Now imagine Captain Kirk having sex with it.
But if that's not quite alien enough for you, turn out the lights and let the party begin:
National Geographic, via Deep Sea News
No doubt evolved during Mother Nature's warehouse rave phase.
Yeah, now that shit looks less like an alien and more like the goddamned UFO it arrived in. It's popularly called the alarm jellyfish, and to appreciate it, you really need to see its pulsing light show in action (note: We are 100 percent sure they did not add the porn soundtrack to this clip -- that's just this creature's mating call):
Yeah, the Atolla jellyfish is basically a Pink Floyd concert with more tentacles and fewer floating pigs, and it's oftentimes the only thing visible in the abyss surrounding it. And that's just the way it likes it: The Atolla jellyfish doesn't use its built-in lava lamp to hunt, but rather as a scream for help. If the jellyfish senses that something is interested in tasting the rainbow, it suddenly lights up like a rave, something that scientists call its burglar alarm response. The point is to either scare the attacker away or attract something even bigger so the diner suddenly becomes the buffet.
E. Widder, NOAA
This assumes that most deep-sea predators prefer their food to look like a Spencer Gifts.
The tactic is so effective, in fact, that we humans are stealing it for ourselves. Since dropping lit-up games of Simon into the water wasn't achieving results, biologist Edith Widder constructed an electronic Atolla jellyfish replicant that can attract rare undersea fauna for observation and study.
E. Widder, via Treehugger.com
It's a lot easier to get baked and watch the light show when you don't have to dive hundreds of feet to do it.
#4. The Shrimp That Is a Skeleton Inside a Ghost Body
Holy fucking shit. We've just gone from "looks like a psychedelic alien" to "looks like a boss character from a survival horror video game."
That there would be the skeleton shrimp, a demonic overlord that has entered our dimension to seek vengeance for all of its brethren you've thrown on the barbie and slathered in breadcrumbs.
CaRMS Photogallery / Fisheries and Oceans Canada
"I am here to dip your soul in cocktail sauce."
Actually, skeleton shrimp aren't even shrimp at all, but rather amphipods. And you need a magnifying glass to reveal their horror, since they're only a few millimeters long at best. So if Disney wants to cast their creepy asses as the villains in Finding Nemo 2, they'll have to scale them up a bit (and then watch the parent complaints come rolling in).
Not that their size makes us feel that much better about them; it just means that if you go swimming, you could have this little guy floating into your ear canal and not even know it:
Peter J. Bryant
And of course they have giant claws (proportional to their bodies, anyway), because no spiritual harbinger of terror and despair is complete without them. Those nasty-looking things (called gnathopods) excrete poison and are perfect for both murder and holding down males during mating sessions. But girl skeletons have poisonous claws too, so if the male doesn't deliver like he should, she will poison-stab him to death.
Helgoland Marine Research, via Scientific American
Yet one more reason to learn to spoon.
#3. This ... Thing Has a Detachable Jaw and Glows Red
If you're not familiar with how deep-sea evolution works, basically it's like this: All of the greatest fears and darkest nightmares of humanity rise up to the atmosphere, where they are eventually carried over the oceans and rained down, causing our collective terror to descend into the cold darkness and, over time, congeal into writhing horrors like you see above.
Via Jypichthyology
Also there's probably like pressure adaptation or some shit involved.
In order to cope with the knowledge that we share the planet with such monsters, we humans give these creatures exceptionally ridiculous names. This one we call the stoplight loosejaw, which sounds like the worst SpongeBob spinoff imaginable.
"Stoplight" refers to how the fish glows red. This is especially helpful, because most deep-sea desserts (the loosejaw's preferred term for its neighbors) can't detect any colors outside of blue. By illuminating red instead, the loosejaw can essentially hunt with an invisible flashlight.
Herring PJ, Cope C., via Wikimedia
Which seems preferable to dying with those glowing red eyes fresh on the mind.
Then there's the "loosejaw" part. The stoplight can almost completely separate its lower jaw from its head and stretch its head so far past its body that it damn near decapitates itself. This creates a Mortal Kombat-esque spike pit that can quickly impale any passing prey, as well as cause any freaked-out witnesses to wonder when the babies will start popping out of its neck.
Charles Holder, via Wikipedia
It almost looks like it's smiling. Enjoy seeing that whenever you close your eyes from now on.
Also, in order to reduce water resistance (and for added general creepiness), there's no floor to the stoplight's lower jaw. This allows it to droop its goofy-yet-charmingly-awful bear-trap jaw to ludicrously low levels and keep its head dangling by a membrane, like an execution performed by a dull, rusty ax. To its prey, it no doubt appears to have been brutally murdered ... right up until it eats them.

Students can integrate a variety of interests through the individual Interdepartmental Major or the broad College Major, or by combining a major with a minor or with another academic program-such as the Institute for Leadership in Technology and Management.
Students in the College benefit from attention to their intellectual development through the College Core Curriculum and disciplinary courses, through the University Writing Program, and through opportunities for independent study and Undergraduate Research.

The May 2006 issue of Health Care News features an exclusive report on the reaction of free-market health care advocates to Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's plan for "near-universal" health insurance coverage. "The Massachusetts bill perpetuates what we've seen for decades in America," said John R. Graham of the Pacific Research Institute, "laying down bad laws to turn back the effects of previous bad laws, so that we can barely tell where the whole twisted ball of yarn begins.
Also on page 1: Medicare reform in Oklahoma, flaws in data security at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and why 'Healthy New York' is a bad model for Wisconsin (where Gov. Jim Doyle has been touting a similar plan) and other states.
This issue also covers health savings accounts; Medicaid estate recovery; two studies showing Americans often don't receive the health care recommended for their conditions; small business health plans in Congress; tobacco taxes; the lower-than-expected cost of the Medicare prescription drug benefit; and more.
