I had the opportunity to get away for time alone -- to choose a fabulous vacation for myself. I quickly chose to vacation to San Francisco, where I knew I would be able to see a lot within a short period of time. After several searches on the computer, I found my "dream" hotel, "Nikko San Francisco!" it was in the heart of the city - Union Square!
My stay was fabulous!!! I chose one of the top floors, to have the incredible view, and that I did!!! The hotel was beautiful, with bright colors, that were modernly displayed with special lighting. The simplicity and sharp designs give a sense of serenity and elegance to the hotel. The atmosphere was always peaceful. The hotel was immaculate, from the beautifully designed rooms (with a mini entertainment area) to the facilities: gym and pool area. As for their Anzu Restaurant, so stunningly arranged, with such a delicious gourmet and spread of food, it was wonderful! The servers, from Amber to William, and Peter......were so friendly and personable!! The morning buffets started each day perfectly! I could not have chosen a better hotel. I will return to Nikko with my next visit!! It was a dream vacation!! ~Nikko lover from Southern Cal!

i wondered if someone if it is possible to create a Combobox in a grid but with a different store for each combobox.
so for example the list of traductions of a book ... this depends of each book ....
so far, it seems quite difficult to me .. but since extjs rocks ... it should be right?
any thoughts/links/solutions?
21 Jan 2011 9:49 AM #22
You should be able to change the store data (or combobox itself) by listening to beforeedit event of the EditorGrid.
21 Jan 2011 11:08 AM #23
thx .. it sounds logic .. i will try tomorrow ... just if you know on top of your head .. is it possible to have the combobox displaying the down arrow all the time (so far, it seems that i am obliged to double click on the cell to have the combobox option coming out)
i will let you know if i succeed with my combobox
thx again
21 Jan 2011 11:14 AM #24
For changing the editor, use setEditor method in beforeedit event. To give it a look of combobox being active always, you can use a renderer and return a class name that makes the rendered area look like a dropdown. Also, you can change clickstoedit property to make it single click edit instead of double click.
21 Jan 2011 1:54 PM #25
thx again ..
i am thinking again about my previous post (having a combobox displaying a 'row contextual store') .. well i am not sure your previous answer works .. can you extend about the following problem:
when the grid is displayed you want to have a default view in each combo to be different .. for the example of a book list, each book as a different translator list and if you click on a combo the displayed list is different ..
-> to have a different displayed list, i agree than changing the store in the beforeedit method should do it ... but to have different values per default in each store .. would you suggest to first create a store with all the default values?

funny enough it worked for my remote comboboxes,there are some place modified

ComboBox for Grid not showing as a combo until user clicks it
Hello I am fairly new to Extjs and I am trying to have a couple of comboboxes in a grid panel. We have tried a couple of ways to accomplish this with no lock. We have the two columns with a editor and we define the combobox inside. The problem as many people have reported is that the combo does not appear as a combobox for the user when the page is loaded and only when the user clicks on the cell then the cell becomes a dropdown.
Here is a code snipet of what I have
return {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel'columns: [
dataIndex: 'whatever',
text: 'blabla',
editor: {
xtype: 'combobox',
store: 'mystore',
queryMode: 'local',
renderer: function (value, metaData, record, rowIndex, colIndex, store, view, self) {
this.columns[1].getEditor().store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
fields: ['value', 'Label'],
data: value
return value[0].Label;
Can someone shed some light? I have read the example with the helper but am not sure how to apply it.

Taco joint serves up taste without grease
Writing for Food Frenzy has provided many a moment when I take a bite of something, smack myself on the forehead and say, "How have I never been here before?"
On the short list of head smackers is Rocky's Chicken, Haus of Pizza and most recently Baja Fish Tacos in Laguna Hills, where I enjoyed some righteous fish tacos at a restaurant that has "taco" in the name, but does not feature a Taco Tuesday special.
Say what?
I'll get the whining out of the way and say that there really should be a special that allows me to purchase three of these beasts for $5, but the beer special more than makes up for this.
Beer is buy one, get one free after 3 p.m. weekdays and all day on weekends. If that's not a deal, I don't know what is.
Now to those tacos. I did a little Internet research and found that Edwin Goei of the Monster Munching blog wasn't much of a fan of these tacos.
"Contrary to what you may think, fish tacos are to be avoided at Baja Fish Tacos. Despite actually being deep fried, they are inexplicably non-greasy and desperately lacking in flavor because of it. To top it off, they're dry, lifeless. No amount of the restaurant's pico de gallo will ever hope to revive the sorry things."
Sorry, Edwin, but I'm going to respectfully disagree. I'll leave aside the fact that one exiting patron told me they were "the best fish tacos I've ever had in my life," and simply argue that it's OK to eat nongreasy fish tacos. I love a greasy, dripping fish taco anytime, but the ones made here have a flavorful, salty batter that goes well with the thin strips of ono in each taco. I'll take freshness over grease any day.
Tacos, by the way, run $2.75-$3.80 each.
I also liked the snowball of cabbage and the generous pour of white sauce. It was only slightly better than the nonfried, blackened fish taco. Some places go wild with blackening spice, but here it wasn't overpowering, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese balanced everything out.
The beans and rice, two sides I usually only pick at, were almost fully eaten here. The white and fluffy rice has a good flavor to it while the beans are set apart because they're so rich and savory.
While I'm not the biggest fan of tortilla chips, wifey Nadia is, which, I'm learning as a newlywed, also makes me a fan of tortilla chips. The chips at Baja Fish Tacos run $2.25 and come with a big old cup to pack pico de gallo in. I'm happy to report they were fresh. The salsa was a little too mild but superaddictive.
I wouldn't hesitate to pay for these, or more of those tasty fish tacos, again.

About Byington Complete Family Pack Font
Inspired by the ancient carvings chiseled into Trajan's column in Rome~ Byington pays homage to Trajan's venerable lines but strips away the subtle nuances usually associated with the classic design. Fortified to withstand the requirements of video and other low resolution applications~ Byington's strength lies in its beefier serifs and speedier transitional curves. And what's this? Recent excavations revealed a lowercase~ ten meters below the column's foundation. Just kidding! Byington's lowercase is interfused with Sabon and Garamond~ mirroring the pared down simplicity of the capitals . . . and includes optional old-style numerals in OpenType-friendly apps. Byington comes in three styles; regular~ bold and italic. Each font has full a full set of upper and lower case~ numerals~ accents~ punctuation and a selection of monetary symbols. Accents are included for: Albanian~ Catalan~ Danish~ Dutch~ English~ Estonian~ Finnish~ French~ German~ Icelandic~ Italian~ Norwegian~ Spanish and Swedish. Every good designer appreciates the beauty and subtlety of Trajan's column but there comes a time when you need more. Byington delivers a lot more; flexibility with a lowercase and timeless beauty that can withstand today's digital environment.

The Scariest Hashtag Ever? Enter #NPRHalloweenNames At Your Own Risk
Here at NPR, we're always game for a good public radio spoof. And yesterday, the terrifyingly funny folks from Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! (@waitwait) started their own public radio, shall we say, spook.
It all started with this tweet (which was clearly dying for a response):
Carl Kasellvania. #NPRHalloweenNames— waitwait (@waitwait) October 7, 2013
Throughout the day, NPR fans and staff alike chimed in with various creative and creepy plays-on-words using the hashtag #NPRHalloweenNames. We especially loved 'Mourning Edition,' 'StoryCorpse' and 'Flesh Air.'
Which was your favorite?
And if you're not Terry Gross-ed out after you finish reading the tweets below, there's still time before Halloween to come up with more #NPRHalloweenNames. (Not that we're counting!)

Propaganda: We need a writer
Advertising Agency: Propaganda, Leeds, UK
Creative Director: Mark Williams
Art Director: Ben Bateson
Copywriter: Ben Bateson
Designer: Leeroy Fairclough
24 comments
Wow, you weren't kidding about needing a writer.
So the puns in this ad are 90% VW? It's so easy to notice that some sentences were just half-assedly constructed around a line. This is amateur first year student writing at best. If you are actually gonna do a copy ad for recruitment, then it must be pure lyricism. This is forced beyond measure. Sorry for being so harsh but the weakness is unbearable...
Quite really.
Well they DID SAY they needed a writer, didn't they? I don't think they've been caught out on any of the points made here.
The ad conveys "just us unassuming chaps" appealing for someone who can write like a demon. About all it needs to do. No?
"Ubi hubave lubearned thubat ubanuby fubool cuban wrubite uba bubad ubad, bubut thubat ubit tubakes uba rubeal gubenubiubus tubo kubeep hubis hubands uboff uba gubood ubone."
-Lubeo Buburnubett
Re the 'kissing' line. Must be coming from 'After you get married, kiss your wife in places she's never been kissed before'
Check it out and thank you Google: http://books.google.nl/books?id=naaR0AbTMrQC&pg=PA78&lpg=PA78&dq=kiss+...'s+never+been+kissed+before&source=bl&ots=T6jD0yQ88w&sig=ddCPkXoAy9a0yVZ4Zb7Cz_3kIek&hl=nl&ei=P4CsTcLfIZDqObbz3IMK&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCAQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=kiss%20your%20wife%20in%20places%20she's%20never%20been%20kissed%20before&f=false
IIm not defending but I think they are just trying to be sarcastic in a way. the use a line saying impossible is nothing (adidas) and just do it (nike) I mean what they are trying to say is if you can do better than this or what has already been done give us a call.
I think you guys are missing the point... the pun of the ad is they are using famous lines from other campaigns... which I think works when they are trying to hire a copy writer... basically telling the person that they need someone who can deliver lines like the ones they use in the ad...
Holy crap, you're right.
"Ubi hubave lubearned thubat ubanuby fubool cuban wrubite uba bubad ubad, bubut thubat ubit tubakes uba rubeal gubenubiubus tubo kubeep hubis hubands uboff uba gubood ubone."
-Lubeo Buburnubett
They need a new writer because they're rehashing lines from old ads.
They really should've said
"We're asking someone to come in to literally write and not complain about taking the fall for our editing. We're not asking you to be creative in your writing since there will be editing and tweaking as you write. We need someone more or less to take the title of our writer. It makes clients believe we're legit. Our art director is hard to manage with his poetic writing and his seniority so we're leaving it to you to handle him. As the owner of the Agency, I would not like to take on this responsibility because I just want to make money from your work and not do anything myself, aka ride horses."
OK, here's some:
small but tough: VW Polo
no lemon: some Ogilvy classic, I forget which
hello boys: wonderbra
kiss your wife in places: explained in the comments here
reassuringly expensive: some beer
the best lager in the world: another beer
aah. I'm bored with this.

T-N EDITORIAL: A harvest of fall fun
Published: Friday, October 3, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 3, 2008 at 7:32 a.m.
Sure as the first chilly nights of autumn foreshadow the blazing leaves to come, Farm City Day marks Henderson Countys annual fall harvest and the connections between town and rural residents.
Set for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Jackson Park, Farm City Day is one of the most fun, family-friendly, economical and educational ways you can spend the day. Where else can you do so much for free?
Cloggers will kick up their heels. String bands will fill the air with mountain music and other styles. Kids and adults will play games ranging from the corn-shucking competition during the opening ceremony to the all ages egg toss at 3 p.m.
And everywhere will be booths overflowing with the bounty of Henderson County farms: apples, ears of hot, buttery corn in their husks and jars of fresh mountain honey and preserves, to name a few.
While every county in North Carolina has some kind of fall harvest festival, Henderson Countys could be the largest in the state, said Diane Turner, a N.C. Cooperative Extension agent.
This year veterans have been invited to walk in the opening parade , says Spence Campbell, Farm City Day committee chairman. The parade starts at 10 a.m. and features farmers on tractors, marching bands and floats.
Since 1955, residents have gathered for Farm City Day to celebrate the agricultural heritage of Henderson County. Hundreds of volunteers run booths, set up activities and direct people.
Unlike many other festivals, Farm City Day wont break the bank. Not only is admission free but most of the food, crafts and other items for sale are real bargains. That makes it a perfect event for these lean economic times, while reminding us of the natural and agricultural bounty we enjoy here in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina.
Come on out. Bring the kids. Forget for a bit about the stock market, the election (although you may see some politicians politicking) the drought and gas shortage. Whether you are from the town or country, Farm City Day has something for everyone.
Cruel ending
As we celebrate the harvest, lets remember our farming neighbors who had their hopes for a bumper apple crop dashed by an isolated but violent hail storm over parts of Edneyville Tuesday evening.
The storm pelted several square miles of the apple country with heavy hail, pummeling apples as growers were in the middle of picking them.
We dont know yet how much of crop was lost. Even though many orchards were spared, the damage was devastating for those that were hit.
Its hard to imagine anything more frustrating than losing a seasons worth of labor in a few minutes at the end. The storm was all the more cruel coming after last years devastating Easter freeze and hail storms.
Growers will race against the clock the next few days to pick the damaged apples before they spoil. We hope they are able to salvage much of the crop and keep growing apples in spite of two hard years in a row. Their hard work and continued success helps fuel our economy and keep Henderson County a green and attractive place to live.

The Grand Rapids Ballet plans a new production of "The Nutcracker" that is designed by Chris Van Allsburg, known for his book "The Polar Express."
The production will be built by designer Eugene Lee and choreographed by Val Caniparoli. A $2.5 million fundraising campaign is helping to support the show, the Grand Rapids Ballet's first new production of "The Nutcracker" in three decades.
A premiere gala is scheduled for Dec. 11, co-hosted with Hospice of Michigan, as a benefit for the Grand Rapids Ballet and Hospice of Michigan's Pediatric Hospice Program. "The Nutcracker" is scheduled to open Dec. 12 with at least eight performances through Dec. 21.
The production will travel in future years, the company said.
"The goal for us is we need to get out and tour," said Grand Rapids Ballet executive director Glenn Del Vecchio. "We want to ... have a relationship with as many cities as we can."
Van Allsburg grew up in Grand Rapids and "The Polar Express" movie was based on his book. The inspiration to have Van Allsburg design the ballet for Grand Rapids came from Maurice Sendak's production of "The Nutcracker" for Pacific Northwest Ballet.
"Not only was Maurice a big influence in my life, he was a big influence in Chris' life," said Grand Rapids Ballet artistic director Patricia Barker.

Chrysler Jeep Fuel-Tank Fire Probe Upgraded by U.S. NHTSA
As many as 5.1 million sport-utility vehicles made by Chrysler Group LLC, the carmaker run by Fiat SpA, will get closer scrutiny from U.S. regulators looking into about two dozen reports of fires after rear-impact crashes.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration upgraded a preliminary investigation of Jeep Grand Cherokees and added Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Liberty models with fuel tanks behind the rear axle to an engineering analysis, the agency said today in a website posting. Fires related to rear-impact crashes in the Grand Cherokees may have caused at least 15 deaths and 46 injuries, the regulator said.
Such upgrades may lead to recalls. Chrysler doesn't know how many of the 5.1 million vehicles, some of which were made in the early 1990s, are still operating, said David Dillon, Chrysler senior manager for regulatory affairs. A recall of 5.1 million vehicles would be among the 10 largest in the U.S.
"With the number of vehicles involved and potential severity of the problem, this could set Chrysler back considerably," Dennis Virag, president of Automotive Consulting Group in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said in a telephone interview today. "The cost to Chrysler could be considerable, and the cost in terms of reputation would be high" should the probe lead to a recall, he said.
Chrysler doesn't think the investigation will end in a recall, Dillon said.
'Very Confident'
"We take these matters very, very seriously," he said in a telephone interview. "While we're very confident that the data will prove the vehicles are not defective, nor do they present an unreasonable risk to safety, we are open to working with the agency."
The recalls of Toyota Motor Corp. models in 2009 and 2010 over reports of unintended acceleration covered 10 million vehicles.
Chrysler declined to estimate the cost of a potential recall for the vehicles being investigated.
"Safety, not cost, is Chrysler Group's top concern," Eric Mayne, a company spokesman, said in an e-mail today. "We believe the vehicles are safe and that a detailed engineering analysis will bear that out."
'Modern-Day Pinto'
The Center for Auto Safety, a consumer advocacy group based in Washington, has urged Chrysler to better protect the vehicles' fuel systems. In a Sept. 1, 2011, letter to Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne, the group's head, Clarence Ditlow, called the vehicles "a modern-day Pinto for soccer moms."
About 1.5 million Ford Motor Co. Pintos were recalled in the late 1970s because of concerns that rear-end collisions could spill gasoline and ignite fires.
NHTSA opened its probe into the Chrysler vehicles in October 2010.
Chrysler analyzed agency crash data in Grand Cherokees under investigation, along with comparable vehicles made by other manufacturers, and found no greater incidence of fire following rear-impact crashes in its vehicles, Dillon said. The company has received reports of 23 rear-impact crashes involving fires and knows of two more reported to NHTSA, he said.
The regulator said it found the opposite, that Jeep Grand Cherokees were more likely to have fuel tanks breached with subsequent fires in rear-end crashes than were General Motors Co.'s Chevrolet Blazer, Ford's Explorer or Toyota's 4Runner.
"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does not comment on open safety defect investigations," Lynda Tran, a spokeswoman for the agency, said in an e-mail. "The agency will share the findings of the investigation upon completion of its analysis."
NHTSA's investigation includes model year 1993 to 2004 Grand Cherokees, model year 1993 to 2001 Cherokees, and 2002 to 2007 Liberty models. In 2005, Chrysler redesigned the vehicles, increasing the space between the front and rear axles and placing the fuel tanks there.

Editor's Note
Our reviews of Sleeping Beauty (2011) (published April 27th, 2012) and Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty (1959) Platinum Edition (published October 20th, 2008) are also available.
The Charge
Something to charm every member of your family
Opening Statement
When modern audiences are asked to name their all-time favorite Disney animated films, the responses routinely include The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, and Cinderella. Often lost in the shuffle is one of Walt's most ambitious, innovative, and inspired projects—Sleeping Beauty. Leveraging the majesty of Tchaikovsky's ballet score, this classic fairy tale has been defined for generations to come, in what many animation historians believe is the pinnacle of Disney feature animation. You will be stunned by this meticulously restored presentation and amazed by a kingdom filled with bonus materials.
Facts of the Case
On a glorious morning in the 14th Century, a beautiful baby girl was born unto King Stefan (voiced by Taylor Holmes) and his Queen, and they bestowed upon her the name Aurora, for the sunlight she had brought into their lives. A celebration was ordered and proclaimed throughout the land, bringing forth well-wishers from far and near, including King Hubert (Bill Thompson) and his son Phillip (Bill Shirley), to whom Aurora (Mary Costa) would be betrothed.
Blessing the newborn babe, the kingdom's three good fairies (Verna Felton, Barbara Jo Allen, and Barbara Luddy) bestowed upon her the gifts of beauty and song. Yet before the third gift could be given, the ceremony was interrupted by the arrival of the kingdom's exiled, evil fairy, Maleficent (Eleanor Audley). Angered that she had been left off the guest list, Maleficent dramatically unveiled her gift to the child, sealing Aurora's fate, ensuring her death by pinprick at the tender age of 16. The royal family distraught, Merryweather—the third good fairy—bequeaths her gift to the baby. While powerless to undo Maleficent's curse, she is able to modify it such that Aurora would not die but merely fall into a deep sleep, one which could only be ended by true love's kiss. To further ensure Aurora's safety, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather secret the babe away deep into the woods, where she will be raised as a foundling peasant girl, known as Briar Rose, until her 16th birthday, when Maleficent's curse is made null and void.
Yet the best laid plans of fairies and men do often go astray, allowing Maleficent access to the princess and fulfilling her destiny. Not stopping there, the evil one kidnaps Prince Phillip and locks him away in her dungeon, thereby guaranteeing Aurora will never awaken. Now it is up to the good fairies to rescue Phillip and help him break the curse before the kingdom is plunged into eternal darkness and sorrow.
The Evidence
January 29, 1959, marked the release of Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty and the culmination of nearly 10 years of production, demanding more resources than any other film in Disney history. In fact, staff writer Marty Sklar recalls that, as early as 1938, Walt had him researching story ideas for Sleeping Beauty, among other concepts. The story itself dates back to a 1528 collection of French tales entitled Anciennes Chroniques de Perce Forest, which in turn served as the inspiration for Charles Perrault's La Belle au Bois Dormant and ultimately the Brothers Grimm's 1812 tale Brier-Rose. The Disney version touches on elements of all three, but it is most closely linked to the Brothers Grimm story, in which the curse plays a pivotal role. Yet it was more than story development that kept this film in perpetual production.
Not wanting Sleeping Beauty to be seen as nothing more than a rehash of Snow White or Cinderella, Walt set out to create a truly visionary picture, pushing the boundaries of contemporary animation and creating what he called a "moving illustration." To achieve this feat, he hired noted painter Eyvind Earle, whose passion for Medieval and Gothic art would bring new life to the Disney palette. Much like the revolutionary work done for Fantasia, Earle gave Sleeping Beauty a world as yet unseen.
By emphasizing the use of horizontal and vertical planes, Earle and fellow designer Tom Oreb introduced us to a striking world nearly devoid of all angles. What this allowed them to do was utilize diagonal light sources to add a new level of dimensionality and depth to the backgrounds, further enhanced by Earle's use of deep clarity, bringing all elements into focus instead of just those in the foreground. While these restrictions created a myriad of problems for the principal animators, it also forced them to stretch their respective talents and in turn create some truly memorable characters.
Disney legend Marc Davis—who later went on to create such Disney theme park attractions as "The Haunted Mansion" and "Pirates of the Caribbean"—was the principal designer for both Briar Rose (Aurora) and Maleficent. Rose turns out to be the most feminine and engaging of all the classic Disney princesses. While still, like her animated contemporaries, a so-called damsel in distress requiring a man to save her, there is something more to this character than just an empty-headed beauty. Voiced by young Mary Costa (now a world-renowned opera star), she exhibits a sweet sense of sheltered independence, juxtaposed by the impending disaster of which she is completely unaware. On the other end of the spectrum, we have Maleficent, the reigning Queen of Disney Villains. Her calm, cool, devious nature is more frightening than any other Disney antagonist. She does not clamor for wealth and power like Jafar, Scar, or Frollo. Nor does she play out an end game like Ursula, Medusa, or Yzma. Maleficent is more akin to Hannibal Lecter—each carefully chosen word and action oozing devilish self-confidence. The kingdom is her personal chessboard and she loves manipulating all of the pieces. Playing light to Maleficent's darkness is Phillip, who, for the first time, is a prince of character, courage, and valor. Unlike Snow White's Prince or Cinderella's Prince Charming, Phillip is no anonymous, second rate, namby pamby. Instead he risks life and limb to free the woman he loves…the woman of his dreams.
Sleeping Beauty has a pacing unlike any other Disney feature. At a tight 75-minute clip, directors Eric Larson, Wolfgang Reithman, Les Clark, and Clyde Geronimi masterfully throttle the story up and back, providing us with more action and danger than previous adventures, while balancing it out with well-placed, heartwarming humor. The audience link to the story's heart is through Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, created by Disney greats Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson. They are our empathic guides. We feel as they feel, fear as they fear, and root from the sidelines when unable to affect the game in play. Yet the unsung hero of the entire film is composer Pyotr Tchaikowsky. For it is through his music—as adapted by George Bruns—that these characters live and breathe. His score binds us to the emotional undercurrent of the story with each and every note. Sleeping Beauty is a case study for the powerful force music can play in filmmaking.
The convergence of these elements has blessed us with an animated masterpiece, one I believe to be the crowning achievement of Walt's time with the studio—and his legacy to the world of animation.
Presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, this is a transfer to beat all transfers. Painstakingly restored in a frame-by-frame digital process, the original Technirama 70mm print (a wonder in its own time) is only the second film to undergo this incredible re-evolution (the first being Snow White). This four-step process begins by scanning the original negative into the computer and subjecting the entire print to a deflickering procedure, evening out the worn images and creating a cohesive canvas upon which the restoration artists can work. This is followed by roto-scoping to extract the principal characters, dust-busting to create dirt and scuff-free backgrounds, and reinserting the characters before initiating a complete repainting of all 180,000 frames by 35 to 40 people in what amounts to nearly 48,000 hours of production time. Once complete, the final product is scanned onto a new negative to create the image we now see. As a result, this new print has colors and textures richer and more vibrant than 1950s technology would allow. It is truly a magnificent sight to behold.
Oh, before I forget, there is a 4:3 full screen version included as well, but I find it heretical to take a work of art and hack it up to fit into a third-rate, prefab frame…so don't even bother with it. In fact, there is a side-by-side comparison of the two formats, found in the supplemental materials on disc two, which beautifully illustrates just how ridiculous this format is. Nuff said.
The new Dolby 5.1 remix is also quite impressive, for a classic animated feature. One would expect the track to be front heavy, given the technology of the day. However, Walt insisted on recording the audio in stereophonic sound, to match the grandeur of the film, thus giving the remastering team much more to work with. This includes a fair amount of ambient sounds, most notably in the magical fight between Flora and Merryweather, and the climatic battle between Phillip and Maleficent. You'll find the entire score to be more vibrant than ever, and it truly enhances the overall presentation.
Disney is far and away the industry leader when it comes to bonus materials, and this release serves to reinforce that distinction…
Disc One contains an NPR-style Feature Commentary in which Disney historian and narrator Jeff Kurtti deftly pulls together interviews with members of the original cast, design team, and current Disney artists to recall fond memories, insights, and musical numbers cut during production. A must-listen for all Disney-philes.
Disc Two contains a King's ransom of material divided into two sections:
Games, Music, and Fun
Disney's Art Project—Two craft projects for the kids.
Rescue Aurora Adventure Game—A cursor-driven game in which the fairies guide you (as Prince Phillip) to save Princess Aurora.
Princess Personality Profile—Which Disney Princess are you most like? Take the quiz and find out.
Once upon a Dream: Sing-Along—Kiddie karaoke.
Once upon (Another) Dream—Latest Disney girl group, No Secrets, performing a modern version of the film's title song.
Sleeping Beauty Ink and Paint Studio—Digital coloring book.
History and Behind-the-Scenes
Making of Sleeping Beauty—A wonderful featurette on what went into making the film.
Grand Canyon—The 1958 Academy-Award-winning live-action short. One of Walt's remarkable nature films.
The Peter Tchaikovsky Story—An episode of the Disneyland television series, depicting the life and times of the great Russian composer. Timed to coincide with the release of Sleeping Beauty.
Four Artists Paint One Tree—Another Disneyland episode. This one took four of Walt's top animators out to interpret the same tree and educate the audience on artistic expression.
Story—History, Original 1951 Outline, Storyboards.
Production—Music, Design, Backgrounds, Live-Action Reference Footage, Photographs, Restoration, Widescreen vs. Pan-and-Scan.
Virtual Galleries—Tons and tons of photos on everything from character concepts and layouts to posters and theme park tie-ins presented in impressive, but somewhat tedious, 3D art displays.
Publicity—Original Teaser Trailer, 1959 Theatrical Trailer, and 1995 Re-Release Trailer.
Scrapbook—More photos and press clippings covering Behind the Scenes, Publicity, Merchandising, and Theme Parks.
Closing Statement
Disney and animation fans, rejoice! This is the essential version of Sleeping Beauty and a must-have addition to your collection. While this limited edition has already been sent back into the Disney vault, don't despair. There are still plenty of copies available. Make sure you get yours before it's too late!
The Verdict
This court would like to extend its sincerest thanks to the entire Disney family, both past and present, for the care and attention that has gone into crafting this legendary work of art—a new standard by which all Special Editions should be judged. All charges are summarily dismissed and everyone is free to partake in the revelry. Skumps!
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty (1959) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

It's a nice place to stay, with comfortable accommodations and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend checking them out!
lovely accommodations, especially if you prefer a modern setting. lots of food to eat at your convenience. great shared spaces (kitchen/dining, living, deck). i loved this place. parking is crowded on street, but you should find a spot (maybe not right out front, but near). i loved my room (4) but note that 1 of 2 windows and the sliding glass doors face directly onto deck, which other people can use. i was lucky in that no one else ever used the deck, so my privacy wasn't affected at all. love love love this place.
First, outstanding location. 6 "El" stops downtown to the Loop, about 14 to O'hare. Staff very pleasant (although room was not ready for occupancy when we arrived, on schedule. Several excellent restaurants and other shopping a block or two away. The downside is, the noise level, particularly on the ground floor, We could hear every step, every laugh, every...noise...going on above us. Also, when a party of three couples arrived after we had gone to bed, well, they might as well have been right there in our room (they were in the vestibule, right outside our room.
Love this place. In the heart of Lincoln Park accessible to,so much. Cathy is excellent.
Our host was fabulous and the food excellent. Great location. You have to check it out.
Within a mile of wrigley. 2e with private bath was small but comfortable as just there to sleep and shower. Residential street parking pass was key and money saver. Bfast was standard cold breakfast, as your inkeep Dave will tell you "enough to get you started." he is friendly and helpful regarding navigating area. El station is right around corner, so i found parking on friday and didnt drive again until leaving Sunday. Will stay again next year if wrigley continues to hold fun concerts on away game weekends!
You get a lot for your money: Room, breakfast, parking voucher in neighborhood, a $10 voucher each day for dinner at Trader Todds. But, the air conditioning doesn't reach the 3rd floor, and it would be easy for them to put a unit on the roof. It was really hot in our 3rd floor room. They have been aware for a long time that issue needs to be resolved. The bathrooms need a thorough s rubbing, and probably some renovation. The bathroom window being in the shower, looks like black mold on window sill. There are many cute things about this place, and as close as it is to Wrigley, they really should put some additional money into it. Everyone there is very nice, though.
The house is beautiful. The staff extremely helpful and the breakfast options vast and delicious. Loved the entire neighborhood. Great restaurants in all directions; handy to the El.
This is the perfect spot to experience Chicago's Northside. The innkeeper couldn't be more helpful and gracious and the inn's amenities are superb.
Excellent place if you are going to see a Cubs game and want EVERYTHING within walking distance!! Great Pubs nearby, great food nearby!! Dave is an excellent innkeeper. I would HIGHLY recommend this to friends. Check out the "speakeasy" downstairs...it is excellent place to talk and have fun!!
Excellent B and B experience. Walking distance to Wrigley Field. Neighborhood with restaurants and entertainment. Safe. Friendly staff. Comfy accommodations. Totally fun experience with a few surprises. Would be happy to return.
The room was beautiful and service was top knotch. I felt like I was at home with the old charm and decor. However, we were there on a warm day and the 3rd floor felt as though the AC was not working at all. The first and second floor felt great. When we asked for a fan, they did not have one and we were told that cooling the third floor was difficult. We would stay again, but would make sure we got a room on the 2nd or 1st floor going forward.
A great little spot in Wrigleyville that is within walking distance to everything you need - the L train, restaurants, bars, and Wrigley Field. Free neighborhood parking and a nice breakfast with several great different room options and its own onsite speakeasy!!! Definitely worth checking out!!!
Old style hotel not too far from night life eazy go to bars around
David was a fantastic host! He was so welcoming and helpful for our entire stay! The whole hotel was very clean and quaint. There were great restaurants in walking distance and it was only a 15 minute walk to Wrigley Field, but the hotel was still quiet despite a huge show going on there. I would definitely stay here again.
My partner and I really enjoyed our one-night stay here. We easily walked to a nearby theater, restaurants, and bars. Since it was in between a big ball game and Pride weekend, using their residential parking option was easy, but I could see it being hard to find a nearby spot if there is an event going on in the neighborhood. The breakfast and evening Speakeasy were great to have and I was excited to see board games, books and other fun touches around the inn. Unfortunately the ceiling fan in our room didn't work, but the central air conditioning helped a lot.
Calling Villa D' Citta a B&B is like calling the Louve a museum. Yes it is a B&B, but it's also a luxury accommodation with numerous features that rival any 5 star hotel.
I was blown away by this Bed & Breakfast. My first time at one and it's better than some hotels I've stayed at. Location was perfect. I will be back.
Room large and clean, bathroom above expectations, breakfasts were awesome!
The place is great!! Neighborhood is safe! Everything needed within walking distance. Close to Wrigley field you can walk. Going back again soon!!!! Highly recommended!!!
The innkeeper, David, was extremely nice and helpful. He made the Inn a fantastic place to stay. We enjoyed our visit and hope to return one day.
I love to stay at House 5863! The atmosphere is artsy and interesting! Everything is spotless and my sleep is always sound! I appreciate all the hard work, thought and talent that went into establishing and maintaining such a lovely B&B!
Great value for the money. David the inn keeper was amazing on assisting us on things to do and how to use the train system. 8 blocks away from Wrigley field, park your car near hotel and use train system to get downtown.
Everything is awesome here! Highly recommend!!
Wonderful stay in a beautifully appointed B&B. Delicious breakfast, stocked kitchen, convenient location, accommodating and gracious host.
The hospitality, the decor, the food, the room, the entire experience was all impeccable. The best stay away from home I have ever enjoyed. Cathy and her staff have discovered the keys to unforgettable service.
This was my first B&B. I love that it was close to home but you still get the vacation feel. Awesome service, clean rooms, good food. Would definitely recommend to others.
We loved to stay in the Old Chicago Inn. The room was small but clean and it was comfortable, altough the air condition was very loud! David was a really great host. He was friendly and helpfull and we felt cared for.
Bedroom was very small but accommodating. The hotel and room 13 was very retro cool. Will Definatly be back. Close to Kingston Mines (Blues bar)
The hotel obviously has a lot of history. It is very cool! The dinner coupons left A LOT to be desired. We were not impressed with that at all but loved the charm of the inn.

You got harassed by a "local" in Monmouth? I never have. Actually, because of work, I surf from the hook to Cape May and never get any sh*t. And I'm not a bad looking dude either... I hear a lot of people talking about "locals" and how they get harassed. But I never have any issues in NY or NJ. I don't get it

[QUOTE=NJAZguy;168700]Why does he have to stay home? This "local" attitude here in Jersey is really pissing me off. People here have an attitude I have never experienced surfing in any other part of the world and I've surfed all over
Thanks for pointing this out.. i agree with you 100%.

No one is gona tell you how the breaks are lol. If they do it is probably wrong information. The crowds have returned, full of people who haven't surfed since before it got cold and no one wants people like that around. This question has come up many times and no one has received any answers. Everything has changed. Go check it out.

I'm 41 and my parents will always support me. We all wouldn't have it any other way. I need to free up my time to post on internet forums, especially surf predicting website forums. See if you would have axed aboot SOuth Jersey spots I would have throwed you a bone. But I don't do North Jersey stuff. See guys how mean North Jersey people are. OMG, we should just get rid of the place.......and NYC get rid of that place, too. Then Philly and South Jersey can take their rightful spot as ruler of the nation.
Drugs, Johhnykans......drugs. Sell drugs. But get in quick, make some money and get out quick. You'll have three 5 mils and a 4 mil and the most *****en 3 mil..........and boards and skanky chicks with father issues hanging around you. Aww man, it's awesome.

my "issue", if you will, is that you're not taking an interest in the coast. you're asking for information to be handed to you on a silver platter, not taking the time to relearn the beaches & breaks that were completely rearranged by Sandy. it's bull****. do your homework & figure it out for yourself.

As to the hostile incident with a local at an undisclosed break in Monmout County..........
First, why didn't you name the spot? That seems to contradict your whole message.
Anyways, Jersey locals aren't scary. Well, not surfer dudes. Newark locals are scary and of course top of the food chain Camden locals are scary, but Skippy up in Belmar isn't scary. Any Jersey beach local who just read about Silver Strand in some mag and tries to throw out some vibe is all bark and no bite. And the older guys probably have a WHOLE LOT to lose(job, family, house, etc) and the younger ones would get grounded by mummsy if the proper authorities found out.
Actually, surfers gotta realize that they ain't bad, and get off the EL BURRO MAS MACHO gimmick.

But in general Jersey shred hounds are white, suburban, middle class and aren't the types to be training in any form of combat. They are usually family types or burnouts(and that's not an insult).
Plus I have learned much from the most important martial arts film, The Karate Kid - NO not the Will Smith's kid version one....you gotta be kidding me. Mr. Myagi(whatever his name was) taught all true Bruce Lee's that ka-ra-tay is learned to avoid fighting and should only be used in self defense.
Ha Ha man that movie sure punked North Jersey........Some kid from Newark or Jersey City...whatever, goes to Southern California and gets beat up by a bunch of pretty boys with blond hair on motorcycles.........on motorcycles. Ha the shame North Jersey must have felt.

And actually YOU wouldn't speak the way YOU do to these people in person. So you are very confused.
I don't say anything threatening on here so.......but I would speak the same way I do here to any dude on here in person. That's not a tough guy thing, it's just that I don't have separate identities. I is the same on a computer as I is in person.

A true, well trained martial artist, whatever the discipline, will posses the self confidence that will enable him or her to laugh at whoever is talking shyte...hopefully...lots of shred machine type d-bag guidos training mma now though unfortunately, they gotta get ready for those rowdy nights at the club...irks me to no end when i see tap out stickers on some d-bag car.

Using the PrimeFaces Demo filtering DataTable (http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/datatableFiltering.jsf) as an example, I would like to be able to provide "filtering" links outside of the table for the user to click (say Volvo, Forw, BMW, etc). When the user clicks the link, I would like to switch the selected item in the manufacturer filter dropdown and apply the filter. I haven't been able to figure out how to get to the filter properties to make the change. Can this be done via javescript? How do I access the selection list and set the current selection?
Following Daniel's link, I managed to get the dropdown selection to change, but I am unable to get the filter to apply. In the columns where the filters are based on an input field, triggering the keyup causes the data to filter but I can't figure out what event to trigger on the select to make it filter. Here is the code I am using:
<p:commandLink id="filterLink"
value="Click to filter to Volvo Only"
The link created by the above will switch the Manufacturer filter to Volvo but will not cause the data to filter.

The only way I can currently see to subscribe to posts is to comment on a post and then click the check-box asking if you want to subscribe. This feature is kind of amazing for something so hidden, once you subscribe, you get a full email post of every new article posted - this is exactly what I want, but I would rather people be able to fill this out from say the front page, like header link to "Subscribe" that could lead you to fill out the information to accomplish this.
Anyway, I feel like this wouldn't be impossible, but I can't find the actual subscribe code anywhere. Anyone else tried this? Any pointers?

These wraps, which I've had for lunch for the last three days, illustrate one of the best parts of working from home. Because, are you ready? When you call your kitchen table your office, this is what happens: you pull open your Google Reader on a casual Tuesday afternoon, see a recipe you'd like to try and, instead of just bookmarking it for later, you walk to the kitchen right that moment, pull out ingredients and, in minutes, see exactly what it tastes like. Like I said though, that's just one of the best parts of working from home, and since a couple of you have been wanting an update on the self-employment situation anyway, it's probably time I told you about some of the other benefits. First of all: It's been almost five months, can you believe that? Five months since I set my alarm for the same time every morning. Five months since I said, Oh, I can't; I have to work. Five months of setting my own schedule and working fewer hours (and, admittedly, also making less … [Read more...]

Thank you very much for the plugin!
I'm having a tiny issue with single post view combined with an inconsistend data set. When the post meta _locale is set two times for the same post to the same locale (which should not be possible) the post is showing up twice in the frontend.
I can't really say any more how I managed to create such a mess in the database.
(My prime suspect's name is 'WordPress importer').

I have a closed website for our group. The site was previously done in Drupal and I'm trying to move it over to WordPress. One of the features we had set up on the Drupal site was that we were able to categorically restrict the viewing of certain posts, and I'd like to do that again with WordPress.
For example...we had a category (or tag) called 'members only'. Posts with that category would not show up on the public version. It would only show up to registered users (which happened to only be members).
I've been browsing, but I can't find something like this that will work for WordPress 2.6. Does anyone have a solution?
