CAMP RED CLOUD, South Korea -- The holiday season can bring not only good cheer but high stress and even domestic violence, so community members should know the dangers and how to avert them, Warrior Country officials said this week.
"We actually associate Christmas with joy and happiness, but Christmas is one of the most stressful times of the year," said Georgette Harper, Area I victim advocate with the Family Advocacy Program at Army Community Service at Camp Casey.
Some, especially those with families, take on too much in the way of shopping, housework and related holiday preparations, and end up overloaded. Holiday overspending can trigger stress too, and with it, sometimes, marital conflict, even some that can escalate to domestic violence, Area I experts said.
A first defense is to avoid taking on too much, they said.
"One of the main things I always tell people," said Harper. "'You're out buying things, you're preparing meals, you're decorating your house, you want to make sure you're trying to take some time for yourself, taking some knee time, without any distractions, and relax a little bit,'" said Harper.
That applies to holiday spending too.
"If they simplify their life, they will not have that kind of problem later," said Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Suk-jong Lee, U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I chaplain. "Meaning they're trying to buy gifts for everybody and when the credit card bill comes they're overwhelmed."
"You want to make sure you stay within your budget," said Harper. "Know how much you have to spend, and stick to that."
The holidays also bring a heightened concern over domestic violence, officials said.
"For instance, let's just say we have a mother or a wife," Harper said. "She's stressed out because she's out doing most or all the shopping for the kids, the extended family, getting gifts for her husband, she's decorating for the holidays, preparing the meals, setting up the home for guests. And she starts to take her frustrations out on her husband, which then causes him to feel stress, and that can lead to possible anger, altercations between them.
"Then," said Harper, "if there are children in the home, they can start picking up on that. They can even shut down and blame themselves for what's going on with the parents. And the kids themselves may start to display this anger. And the parents could start taking it out on the kids.
"With money, you and your partner want to sit down together and figure out a budget. 'What can we afford?' So that money isn't a trigger for domestic violence, especially if you know money is tight within your household."
Immoderate holiday drinking can cause problems of its own, and often helps fuel domestic violence.
"There's usually a lot of holiday parties, family gatherings, and usually at these gatherings alcohol is usually being served. Usually, a lot of incidents that involve domestic violence, alcohol was involved.
"Learn to just say no," said Harper, no to taking on too much, no to spending too much, no to drinking too much.
"If you're feeling stress you maybe just want to stop what it is you're doing, take a deep breath, reflect on what is causing your stress at that moment, and then you want to choose what you're going to do about that stress, how you're going to handle that stress," she said.
And there are people one can turn to if holiday stress causes problems.
If someone is or seems to be suicidal, call the 24-hour Area I suicide prevention hotline: 010-3762-0457
The 24-hour domestic violence hotline is: 153 if called from an on-post DSN phone. From off-post it's 05033-64-5997.
Army Community Service offers stress management classes. Information is available at 730-3107.
Community members can make an appointment with the Area I Military and Family Life Consultant, who can give them guidance on dealing with holiday stress, anger management, and a broad range of other issues. The number is 010-8691-3666.
Those coping with grief, depression, loneliness, marital and other conflicts, can also contact their unit chaplain. Several chaplains in Warrior Country are trained therapists. All contacts with chaplains are held confidential.

Tall Storyby Candy Gourlay
View All Available Formats & Editions
Andi is short. And she has lots of wishes. She wishes she could play on the school basketball team, she wishes for her own bedroom, but most of all she wishes that her long-lost half-brother, Bernardo, could come and live in London where he belongs.
Then Andi's biggest wish comes true and she's minutes away from becoming someone's little sister. As she waits
Andi is short. And she has lots of wishes. She wishes she could play on the school basketball team, she wishes for her own bedroom, but most of all she wishes that her long-lost half-brother, Bernardo, could come and live in London where he belongs.
Then Andi's biggest wish comes true and she's minutes away from becoming someone's little sister. As she waits anxiously for Bernardo to arrive from the Philippines, she hopes he'll turn out to be tall and just as crazy as she is about basketball. When he finally arrives, he's tall all right. Eight feet tall, in fact—plagued by condition called Gigantism and troubled by secrets that he believes led to his phenomenal growth.
In a novel packed with quirkiness and humor, Gourlay explores a touching sibling relationship and the clash of two very different cultures.
Editorial Reviews
Twelve-year-old Andi's pleasure in her family's move to a real house and the coincidental long-awaited arrival of her older half brother from the Philippines is overshadowed by learning that only boys play basketball at her new school. For Bernardo, happiness about his immigration clearance is tempered by worry that his departure will expose his small village to earthquakes. Ever since he began to grow—he's now 8 feet tall—some villagers believe he is the returned legendary giant Bernardo Carpio, who saved San Andres from being crushed long ago. In alternating chapters, Andi and Bernardo describe Bernardo's first days in London—the chilly weather, the MRI for the seizures that Bernardo has begun to experience, the first real clothes that fit his tall body, the sister and parents who love him.Andi's voice is genuinely funny, tender and acerbic, especially about her parents; Bernardo's is thoughtful and earnest, his forays into English nicely handled with sympathetic humor.Gourlay spins slender threads of wishes and prayers, magic and miracles, desires and redemption and weaves together an impressively sweet and rich tale.(Fiction. 9-13)
"Contemporary Tagalong and British vernacular enhance the brother/sister narration and enliven the depiction of cultures. In her first young adult novel, Gourlay offers an appealing blend of diverse characters, emotional conflicts, well-paced action, and an upbeat finale. The challenges facing separated, immigrant families and the universal teen desire for acceptance and respect ring true."

Standing over 8 feet tall with size 22 shoes, Bernardo has always felt like somewhat of an outcast. While his mom, stepfather, and half-sister live in England, Bernardo lives in the Philippines in hopes of making it back to England one day. When his wish comes true, however, he has a hard time dealing with the hustle and bustle and unfamiliar feel of his family and home. Will he be able to adjust? Amandolina has always lived in England and has only met her older half-brother once when he was six years old. When she sees how tall he is, she hopes he loves basketball as much as she does. The initial thrill of a brother soon wears off, though, and the stresses of adapting to the change in schools, houses, and family starts eating away at her. Will she also be able to adjust? A fun, lively rendition of a modern-day folktale. The characters are well-developed, and the story is likable and holds the reader's interest. Those who like realistic fiction, books about blended families, and school stories will enjoy reading TALL STORY.
I am reading this book on paper but I really want it on my nook.

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Son Heung-Min has been included in the South Korea squad for this summer's Olympic Games.

This is my favorite Aglio E Olio recipe and I first saw it on Cook's Illustrated. I was planning on posting this but since it was already here, I figured I would review it. Cooking the garlic slowly over low heat really enhances the flavor without adding the bitterness of overcooked garlic. I love adding the last TBLSPN at the end as it adds a wonderful garlic punch. I can't really add the red pepper flakes because my kids can't handle any heat. The lemon juice really brightens the flavors also. This is a ridiculously simple recipe that is packed with garlic flavor, it may be overpowering for some people, but I LOVE garlic! Thanks for taking the time to post.

I work at a US federal laboratory and participate in research using an aircraft with several imaging radiometers (research grade cameras with band pass filters and other modifications) so that we can acquire synchronized images - mostly infrared. Our main research thrust is studying wildfires.
Currently I'm in a project to upgrade our equipment, computer, and system. Since our contract engineer doesn't know C/C++ I've been teaching myself Java, HTML5, CSS3, and Dart attempting write software to provide a operator's GUI which controls the other computers and cameras on the aircraft LAN.

Luis BacalovVer en iTunes
Para escuchar en vista previa una canción, pasa el ratón sobre el título y haz clic en reproducir. Abre iTunes para comprar y descargar música.
When Luis Enrique Bacalov received an Academy Award for his musical score for the film The Postman in 1995, it marked one of the few times that he's been recognized in the United States. In Europe, however, Bacalov has long been known as a leading film composer, having written and arranged many scores for Italian films. Bacalov's career has been going strong since moving to Rome in the late '50s. During his first year in the city, he played piano for a film score composed by Chico Marselli. The song, "La Ragazza con la Viglia," became a pop hit in Italy and RCA hired him to arrange pop tunes. Bacalov subsequently composed and arranged material for such Italian pop singers as Gianni Morandi, Sergio Endrigo, and Rita Pavone. Bacalov became more involved with film scoring in 1958 when he worked as an assistant to film composer Ennio Morricone. Although he composed scores for dramatic films Il Vangelo Secondo Matteo, La Noia, and Extraconiugale in 1964, Bacalov made his greatest mark with his scores for spaghetti westerns, including Sugar Colt in 1966 and Lo Chiamvano Mezzogiorno in 1972. Bacalov first attracted international acclaim for his scoring of the Fellini film La Citta Della Donne in 1967.

"The best teachers are also learners, and this book is eloquent testimony to Mark Noll's stature as both wise teacher and continuing student. His thesis is simple: that similarity of historical conditions, rather than direct influence, is what links (white) American evangelicalism with much of non-Western Christianity today. One need not agree with all his arguments to recognize that Noll's nuanced approach is a very important counter to ideologues of both the left and the right." (Vinoth Ramachandra, author of Subverting Global Myths)
"Scholars have become increasingly attentive to the changing tides of world Christianity and the implications for historiography, doing theology and understanding contemporary patterns of mission. Mark Noll looks back into the nineteenth century when America appropriated and transformed inherited European Christian traditions. The startling conclusions are that the contemporary currents in the Global South resemble the American Christianity at the turn of the century, that it is this emergent form that America shared with the world, and that neither money nor military power and influence could explain the American contribution to world Christianity. This refreshing and robust profile of American Christian influence has many implications: it explains why, among the industrialized nations, Christianity has remained resilient in the American public space; it counters the discourses in which Americanization appears as a negative epithet, a sign of hegemony and negative, extravenous influence. This lucid account has introduced a new dimension that will certainly stimulate the debate on the encounter between the local and global processes in the interpretation of contemporary Christianity." (Ogbu U. Kalu, Henry Winters Luce Professor of World Christianity and Mission, McCormick Theological Seminary, and director, Chicago Center for Global Ministries)
"The United States has emerged as a crucial frontier of the worldwide Christian awakening, in part because of America's role as a global power but in large part because of similar experiences rooted in history and civil society. From his own evangelical background, Mark Noll has explored these connections with lucid sensitivity and lively attentiveness, and in so doing has offered a welcome and valuable contribution to the literature on world Christianity and its critical interface with American religious history." (Lamin Sanneh, professor of world Christianity, professor of history and professor of international and area studies, Yale University, and director, World Christianity Initiative at Yale Divinity School)
"Mark Noll's novel thesis is that the real influence of American Christianity lies in its principle of voluntarism, which global Christianity has also found to be the most effective means to spread the gospel with or without American aid. This modest account of American influence should give pause for thought to both advocates and opponents of American hegemony in contemporary global Christian mission." (Simon Chan, Earnest Lau Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Theological College, Singapore)
"This fine book is one more in a long list of insightful and thought-provoking works by Mark Noll, although it gets him into new territory, that of world Christianity. Here once again is Noll's gift for deftly summarizing other scholars' findings and adding his own creative analysis to make for a stimulating product. This book is a fine antidote to the tendency toward either extreme triumphalism or self-flagellation on the issue of America's place on the world Christian scene." (Daniel H. Bays, professor of history and Asian studies, Calvin College)
"This book provides deep insight into the relationship between American evangelicalism and the growth of Christianity around the world. Master historian Mark Noll argues that American experience provides the template for much of world Christianity today. Readers will enjoy these thoughtful reflections written with Noll's typical clarity and creativity." (Dana L. Robert, Truman Collins Professor of World Mission, Boston University)
"Why does much of Christian worship and witness today in Africa, Asia and Latin America resemble American Christianity? Mark Noll argues that the rising churches of the Global South and East develop 'American' forms because the social forces they encounter resemble those that shaped American Christianity. Even though thousands of American missionaries have served in these lands, local trends and needs influence the churches far more than Americans do. In making his case, Noll offers a deft overview, filled with fascinating examples, of world Christianity today. For Americans who want to learn something about Christianity as a world religion, this book is a fine place to start." (Joel Carpenter, Nagel Institute for the Study of World Christianity, Calvin College)
"Christians around the world rely on intellectual leaders such as Mark Noll to synthesize, challenge and propose. This book synthesizes the rising literature on global Christianity, challenges received conceptions about the American role and proposes new ways of seeing which take the issues of global reflexivity seriously. Wrapped in Noll's measured, insightful prose, this is a book which should be read by thoughtful Christians seeking to understand the most significant questions of our day." (Mark Hutchinson, associate professor and dean of academic advancement, Southern Cross College, Sydney, Australia)
"Here is a book that both critics and supporters of missions must read. Noll helps us move beyond the simple praise and blame associated with Western missions to see the complexity and glory of the growth of Christianity, and, in the process, opens up new frontiers of understanding and new lines of research." (William Dyrness, professor of theology and culture, Fuller Theological Seminary)

Jane and Christina have been wonderful guests a host can only dream of. Reguarding the business, they kept the apartment as if it was theirs: The day they left we found it as if nobody has been living there using anything!
From a point of human view, it's been like meeting somebody you already knew and trust: We really appreciated them sharing their love and interest for Umbria and Italy in general with us.
We'd be pleased to host them again any time they want to.

Fortunately there are very helpful users in the plugin forum which allowed me to get this working!
This plug in leaves me with my jaw on the floor. I am the web editor of a university newspaper, and currently I have to manually copy-and-paste the articles from InDesign to separate WordPress posts. With this plug in we can easily rework our workflow, since our university has google apps, so that the manual labor is reduced to a minimum, and authors are able to get real-time feedback and editing on their articles! Fantastic.
I am running 3.8.1, but not multisite, and it is working fine. For those that are having trouble, the Installation log fails to note that you must define a third variable, the google docs folder ID, for it to know where to pull from. The ID is the string after "&authuser=0#folders/", and it should be defined as DOCSTOWP_ORIGIN. The creator of the plugin mentions this here.
Instructions make sense if careful to follow orders.
No GUI, but started automatically once I edited text files on server. Starting script by adding simple variables is well-done here, and as understandable as copy-paste.
Plugin has room to grow if developer insights' continue to concentrate on ways to mirror and migrate between Google Docs et al web services to user-controlled content management systems like WordPress here, without a challenge, ...and maybe futurewise with GUI config, for greater usage?
Because of this plugin, our small weekly newspaper was able to migrate to Google Docs and shift to a web-first mentality. Thank you

MOST important it made me understand that my Right Eye Clients may be visually dumb - they just dont perceive the lamp post growing out of the head of the subject - they are too busy remembering peoples names, knowing left from right and being able to spell !
so Ive heard people talk about being right or left eyed but havent come across any studies or conclusions or anything.......Me.....I'm right-handed and I'm left-eyed....completely....its not like i do both eyes....I'm SOLELY left-eyed when composing and taking pics.....I wonder why? any ideas???
Clients may be visually dumb - regardless of what eye they use; I also encounter this problem and have not yet found a good way around it - other than to look for another client. What erks me most is when the visually dumb clients assume they are RIGHT (eyed or not) and my best work is LEFT (eyed or not too) out...
One of the most interesting jobs I have ever done was photograph a man who writes books on dyslexiahe see this not a problem but a difference - the brain is doing other stuff he reckons- sometimes useful sometimes not --I put the camera to my left eye to take his picture and he said..You will are probably a great photographer - LE is good spatial awareness you probably dont know left from rightand you probably cant remember my name - the left brain has other businessThe second and third where true - dont know about the first--MOST important it made me understand that my Right Eye Clients may be visually dumb - they just dont perceive the lamp post growing out of the head of the subject - they are too busy remembering peoples names, knowing left from right and being able to spell !This could explain some 'debates' on set that I have hadS
If you think about it there are often artistic differences between writers and photographers - probably the writer has other attributes that lead them to their career seeing more in terms of 'concepts' rather then 'trivial' details like lampposts or angle of light
I wonder. I'll consider experimenting with left-eyed photography in the future, when I'm in picture-taking mode.
That wont work - it how you are wired, but the name remembering, etc all correlates as do 6000+ forum posts to a certain way of thinking that is a little different from the majority of the populationSuch thinking is not good or bad, often correlates with good photography and happens more with left eyes(said my 'expert')
Right Hand, left eye, and my nose allways on the display
I´ve a small long tube fixed with powerclue on my viewfinder, so is the distance far enough between nose and display.
My first camera had a viwefinder on the left-hand side, so now I always look through my left eye whilst shooting. As a consquence I always have to carry a tissue in my kit bag to wipe the noseprint from the back of my camera.
maybe a solution for those of us who encounter this problem could be to hold the camera upside down -- though I haven't tried it myself yet
A bit awkward to press the shutter release... Paul
you could use your toe

For the pesto mixture, executive food editor Kemp M. Minifie switches from pine nuts to pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds, and she incorporates flat-leaf parsley in with the basil. To top it all off she adds homemade bread crumbs. It's not quite Italian anymore, but it works.
Leave a Review
This recipe was easy and delicious. I used purple potatoes and added cooked chicken. I also used store bought pesto sauce. It was a hit...I will definitely make again!
This is delicious & healthy! I ran out of cherry tomatoes so I threw in 1/2 cup of sundried tomatoes. And, I omitted the corn (just watched King Corn documentary)
The recipe for Kemp's Pesto can be found by holding your mouse over the worlds "Kemp's Pesto", then clicking. The recipe will pop up.
What is Kemp's pesto?
Loved this dish! Also made with store bought pesto and left out the breadcrumbs (didn't miss them, either). Make sure you have enough water for the potatoes, zucc, beans, and corn, it really adds up. The tomatoes were a great addition.
I loved this recipe. The tomotoes are delicious and add to the dish, don't skip them! I left off the bread crumbs and didn't miss them. I used store bought pesto. Will make again for sure.

I agree with John the Pats titles are stained because of the spygate. The genious Belicheat has not won a super bowl after they stopped taping team practices.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh believes the Spygate scandal permanently taints the Patriots, saying the three titles the team won under coach Bill Belichick have to be called into question because the team broke NFL rules by taping opposing coaches' signals.
In an interview on Baltimore radio station 97.9 FM, Harbaugh was asked about the Saints bounty scandal. But instead of talking about the Saints, Harbaugh focused his answer on the Patriots.
"In the end, everything is brought before the light of day," Harbaugh said. "Even the thing in New England, no matter whether those things had any impact on whether they won their championships or not, they got asterisks now, it's been stained. So to me, it's never worth it. You've got to figure out ways to use the rules to your advantage."

If you think there might be someone in your home, the best bet is to get out of there, call the police, and let them (with long guns, body armor, back up and dogs) do it.
Your sidearm is for getting out of trouble, NOT for going looking for it.
Sure, you might get a ribbing from the officers and your friends, but...better than the alternative.
My wife came home once to a wide open front door - which she swore she locked when she left. She did the right thing - drove away and called the police. They came and cleared the house with a team, weapons drawn...nothing. She was probably distracted by the baby when she left earlier and had forgotten to lock the door. Still, she did the right thing.
Clearing a home by yourself is very dangerous - it is a task best done by a team. Your priority should have been getting your wife out of there.
Glad it turned out well - consider yourself lucky.
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all. Get a gun you will always carry, and add more capability as you grow.

...kid can't read at 17 (Garcia/Hunter 1985)
Lack of preparation on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on mine
I'm still not sure why you would clear a building by yourself if no threat to life was present. You got lucky. There wasn't a bad guy or two or three in the house. You THINK you have the self training to handle a situation that could have just as easily cost you and your wife your lives.
All it takes is one bad guy with a gun being not where you'd expect and you lose. Even if you get the drop on one, what about his partner(s) that are elsewhere and armed?
If you honestly feel that there is a chance that there is someone inside your residence when you return home and none of your family is supposed to be inside, play the game and call 911 and let them take care of it. All the Hero points for clearing your own home can be erased by one bad guy that has no qualms about shooting.
1. Congratulations on the marriage.
2. Apartments and new (or new to you) homes all have their quirks. Doors and latches are one of the first things I used to check when moving in to new digs. As to security, well I've lived in a few apartments where the front door was only a half step up from an interior hollow core.
3. I wonder:
What were your original initial "feelings" when you first discovered the door pushing open?
Was it hair-raising/adrenaline-flowing? (I understand you had the immediate reaction of going for your weapon... But did you sense that something was really wrong... or did you, at some level, feel that everything was okay?)
While I agree with those that suggest that we call for the pros to do the house sweep, I may not have called them either, if I FELT that everything was okay, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
If, on the other hand, I really FELT... like "someone was in there" I think the hair on my neck would have stood up a bit, and I would have gone into a different "mode."
I've been in two situations before, not quite at the extremes of the possibilities... Had a house break in... where I FELT someone had been there long before I could see the actual evidence of their entry, and I was very wary even before I even stepped foot on the porch, but really felt the threat was over, the danger gone and the results were to be discovered.
I've also come home to the door being ajar... after hours away... and yet, I KNEW that nothing was really amiss... no real danger... somehow the door blew open or something... but, there's no danger here...
Both of these occurred when I was much younger, and not carrying. Today, I think I still have those "gut feelings," and my actions-reactions are similar.
In other words, I hope, that had I come home to your situation my reactions would probably have been one of 3 based on the "feelings" at the door.
1. Exactly what you did, drink in hand. FEELING: This is an anomaly, the door shouldn't push open, but I don't really think any one is here or there is no danger. ACTION: I'll clear the house just in case.
2. What you did, without the drink, send the wife out to the car, I'm not back to her in ____ minutes, she's to call 911. FEELING: Someone was here, something's WRONG... But I think the danger is over, they are gone. ACTION: I'll send her to safety, she can call 911 if it goes wrong, I'll START to clear the house... the second I FEEL an escalation in the danger level, I'll back out and join her, we'll call 911 together.
3. Back out... RIGHT NOW, call 911 and wait. FEELING: DANGER... SOMEONE'S HERE, SOMETHING'S WAY WRONG... THIS IS BAA AAD. ACTION: Draw weapon, retreat with care to safety of vehicle... call 911.
I guess I "trust my gut." It hasn't let me down yet. I'm older now, so the "thresholds" for 2 and 3 are a bit lower than they would have been back when I had my "incidents"
Glad it all worked out for you, didn't mean to hijack your thread... but I'm curious if you can relate you gut feeling on discovering the unlatched door.
It could be worse!
I suppose
The kitchen and living room are very, very open and there is absolutely no place to hide there. The living room is on the right and the kitchen on the left. It was about the time I peeked into the kitchen I realized nothing was "wrong" and just finished clearing just to do it.
Had there been a sign of forced entry or something amiss I would have called the police, absolutely. But once I got past the initial reaction, I realized that nothing was really "wrong", something just wasn't quite right. I didn't have a huge adrenaline dump - I suspect that would have happened as soon as I found something missing or broken - and it didn't take me too long to calm down afterward at all.
Maybe it still wasn't a great idea to finish clearing, but after the first area I felt like it was OK. It was enough to tell me nothing is seriously wrong here other than the door.
I'll take the lessons on room clearing alone in stride, but the big point for me at the time of posting was that despite clearing my suspicions about 2 seconds later, immediately upon finding something amiss I was able to draw and begin assessing the situation quickly and effectively while my wife stayed out of harm's way waiting to find out what was going on. It was the speed and smoothness of that initial reaction that I was happy about.

Ever since reading DeBecker's The Gift of Fear, I have tried to stay on top of what my gut is telling me (other than the quantity of brats consumed).
I really do believe that we have the ability to sense danger before we become embroiled in it. That's valuable.
We can't go around in what some call Orange level all the time, unless we're in a war zone. I think (my opinion only) that to do so de-sensitizes you to real danger until you are already in it, like the later stages of the frog in the frying pan.
Thanks for answering.

Good job handling the situation!

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
My thought also.You did fine and kept your wits about you. My only question is did you have any second thoughts about clearing the apartment by yourself? Considering all the circumstances and I've always heard clearing a house is a high risk activity, I might have considered backing away and calling for backup.
I'd rather be lucky than good any day
There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
The only thing i was going to gig you on was not dropping the drink. Otherwise, i think you did very well.
Congrats on the wedding.

TabPanel inside html
 stetches mega far
I've come across an issue where if a TabPanel is renderTo'ed a
 container which is inside an html
, the TabPanel stretches way beyond the screen width.
Only happens in IE (6+7). FF and others are fine.
See the following link for full working sample.
If the var tp = new Ext.TabPanel is changed to var tp = new Ext.Panel it works as expected. Problem only seems to occur when TabPanel is used.
Any help finding a work-around for this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the full source code for the example just in case the link above goes dead at some point.
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">   <title>TabPanel inside Table</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../extjs/resources/css/ext-all.css" />

16 Jun 2008 1:11 PM #2
The tab strip container in a TabPanel has a fixed width of 5000px in CSS. I can't remember the exact reason (Jack could tell you) but it was for cross-browser tab scrolling I believe. Unfortunately, while other browsers treat the overall container as auto width and render OK, IE does what you are seeing. The official answer within an Ext layout is to always make sure that each level is either A) managed by a layout that sets dimensions, or B ) has fixed width. Since you are rendering the TabPanel into a plain div with no width, it does not meet either criterion.
The two common workarounds I've seen are:
- Override the 5000px width and set it to auto width in CSS. This works OK for reasonably-sized tab sets, but if have to support a lot of tabs, this may not scale well.
- Write code to monitor changes in size of either the viewport or your target element, and sync the size of the TabPanel to what you need manually. This effectively provides similar layout logic of using something like a FitLayout but without actually having an Ext Container wrapping your component.
16 Jun 2008 2:07 PM #3
Here's what I'm going to go with in this scenario...
Created a new css class called .auto-width-tab-strip.
HTML Code:

Here's the full code sample.
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">   <title>TabPanel inside table</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../extjs/resources/css/ext-all.css" />

Police Rescue Kidnapped Woman from Car
A Dallas woman is recovering after being beaten and kidnapped at gunpoint after leaving an office party in downtown Dallas. The incident occurred last Thursday around 11 p.m. in the 2000 block of Bryan Street. Police say Charles Lewis Black snuck up behind the 25-year-old woman and started hitting her with a gun and forced her into her Lexus. People who saw the attack called 911 and police eventually found the car more than 30 miles away in Kaufman. Black was arrested and faces an aggravated kidnapping charge. The woman suffered minor injuries.

Library JournalThese New Jersey kids have it all: rage, poverty, depression, paranoia, violent sex, cheap booze, mental hospitals, nihilism, street drugs, suicide. It's an American nightmare set to a blaring punk-and-thrash soundtrack. What are their prospects: ``Nothing had come since high school and . . . nothing would come of the years ahead.'' What about their parents: ``Lower down, Ruthie loved disaster.'' Not deeper down, just lower. Work is a trap, family a sick joke, and not even fantasy brings relief: ``Fantasies are like ideals. . . . Close in on them and they move. Further out, mostly.'' Unlike Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho ( LJ 1/91) and similar rolls in the sleaze, this book is well and subtly written. You may not initially identify with these folks, but you learn just how they feel, why they try to escape, and why running solves nothing. In the end, can there be any hope that a cynical heavy metal bimbo and a fragile former mental patient will help each other turn their lives around? Well, maybe. This winner of Pushcart's Tenth Annual Editors' Book Award is very powerful. Highly recommended.-- Jim Dwyer, California State Univ. at Chico

Leading mobile-phone makers Nokia and Motorola will increase their semiconductor spending by the highest percentage among the world's top-10 OEM chip buyers in 2005 and 2006, research firm Isuppli predicts. Nokia of Finland will boost its chip spending by 15.1% in 2006 as an encore to its 12.7% increase in 2005, data from iSuppli's recent report shows.

The large (4 g) to very large (40 g) stenopelmatid orthopterans of New Zealand are known collectively as weta. A consideration of 20 species of Hemideina, Deinacrida and tusked weta reveals that at one end of a vulnerability gradient are those species which thrive in the presence of key predators (rats), while at the other end are species that have become extinct on the mainland but still survive on predator-free island refuges. Habitat modification does not appear to be a factor in these extinctions. This paper reviews the lifestyles and some important biotic parameters that seem to determine their relative vulnerability along this gradient. When predators are present, the factors leading to extinction are large body size, use of temporary refuges, protective quality of the refuges, time spent on the ground and the effectiveness of their defensive behaviour.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Robby Gordon said Monday the
cancellation of the Dakar Rally cost him approximately $4.5
million, and he disagreed with the decision not to race at least a
portion of the event.
Gordon, who won stages of the race the past three years and led
the event in 2005, was in Portugal and preparing for the start when
organizers canceled it because of "direct" threats of terrorism
from al-Qaida-linked militants.
Gordon said his team had built two cars for the event and had
more than $1 million invested in each vehicle.
"I'm extremely disappointed," he said. "I can completely
understand their decision not to go to Mauritania or not want to
put competitors in an awkward or dangerous situation. That I
understand 100 percent, but for them -- with as many years as
they've been doing this rally -- not to have a backup plan. They
just had no Plan B."
About 550 competitors were scheduled to start Saturday the
16-day, 5,760-mile trek through remote and hostile dunes and scrub
from Europe to Senegal in west Africa.
Organizers of the rally cited warnings from the French
government about safety after the al-Qaida-linked Dec. 24 slaying
of a family of French tourists in Mauritania -- where eight of the
competition's 15 stages were to be held -- and "threats launched
directly against the race by terrorist organizations."
It was the first time that the 30-year-old rally, one of the
biggest competitions in automobile racing, has been called off.
Gordon said he believed the race course could have been altered,
perhaps running to Morocco or back, or staying on the course in
"All of the equipment was there," he said. "All of the teams
were there. Television was set up. All of the stuff was done, and
Portugal is not a dangerous area to race. It's a safe country, it's
a beautiful country, and we had the permits to run on those roads
and those trails. Some of it was military proving grounds, and we
had what we needed to do to race there.
"Why didn't we go to Morocco and run a few stages in Morocco?"
Gordon had planned to skip preseason testing at Daytona
International Speedway, and had tabbed Brendan Gaughan to test his
self-owned Ford for him. When the race was canceled, he was at the
track Monday to drive his own car in the three-day session.
He said the decision to cancel Dakar led to "severe financial
loss at Robby Gordon Motorsports."
"An entry for the Dakar is $12,000 per person, not counting the
vehicles," he said. "I think our entries were $360,000 and that's
just the entry fees. That's not shipping trucks. That's not flying
people there. That's not hotels in Lisbon. It's a big deal, and
it's got me completely messed up right now in the head.
"Obviously, I'll recover from it like I always do, but I'm just
extremely disappointed on how a sanctioning body could not be
better prepared."

Change %TEST-HEADERS not to load the widetag of the value to be tested into AL if only a single comparison is needed on it, instead do the comparison directly with the memory operand. This is smaller and needs fewer execution ressources. This is a port of what is done on x86 already, with two modifications: * Widetag ranges starting with the smallest widetag or ending with the largest widetag use the memory operand here but go through AL on x86. * x86 exploits the specially choosen widetag values of components of compound types (like BASE-STRING) to test for these types with only an additional "and" operation but still only a single comparison. This can't be done on x86-64 currently as under 64-bit wordsize the widetag values are different and don't have the necessary property (namely to differ in only a single bit). Additionally, when AL needs to be loaded, use EAX instead so as not to write a partial register (as recommended by the processors' optimization guides). Same code size, potentially faster. Silence a "deleting unreachable code" warning during build by removing an IF and the corresponding unreachable expression. --- src/compiler/x86-64/type-vops.lisp | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 1 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/compiler/x86-64/type-vops.lisp b/src/compiler/x86-64/type-vops.lisp index 0e8c9c4..47b18d3 100644 --- a/src/compiler/x86-64/type-vops.lisp +++ b/src/compiler/x86-64/type-vops.lisp @@ -83,7 +83,8 @@ (defun %test-headers (value target not-p function-p headers &optional (drop-through (gen-label))) (let ((lowtag (if function-p fun-pointer-lowtag other-pointer-lowtag))) - (multiple-value-bind (equal less-or-equal greater-or-equal when-true when-false) + (multiple-value-bind (equal less-or-equal greater-or-equal when-true + when-false) ;; EQUAL, LESS-OR-EQUAL, and GREATER-OR-EQUAL are the conditions ;; for branching to TARGET.
