Top Critic Reviews
Rotten: The film is sunk by a pervasive stasis, the byproduct not of mood but of the filmmakers' amateurish abilities. If there's one thing Nick and Disney know, it's that youthful entertainment needs to keep moving.
- Andy Webster, New York Times, Saturday, October 20, 2007
Rotten: ...awkward in a high-school-drama-club way...
- Jim Lane, Sacramento News & Review, Thursday, August 7, 2008
Rotten: Do-nothing Sarah may be the dullest, most featureless and inactive protagonist in recent movies -- great news for those Scooby-Doo die-hards who never got enough Freddy.
- Jim Ridley, L.A. Weekly, Saturday, October 20, 2007
Audience Reviews
How in the unholy hell did this not premiere on ABC Family and then vanish?
- wbgoose13, Thursday, November 15, 2007
This was not as bad as I thought that this would have been. You have to kind of remember the target audience for this one as well as it seemed to be more of a young female pre teen audience. With that being said, this was better than I thought. Thje acting was on the kind of poor side and the climactic ending wasn't all that climactic, but it did have some decent moments of tension and a decent story line to go with this.

By the Numbers
The New York Yankees have more non-working numbers than Ma Bell. The team has most recently announced that three more uniform numbers are going on the shelf permanently, those worn by Bernie Williams (51), Andy Pettitte (46), and Jorge Posada (20).
These are all worthy players, but all short of Hall of Fame credentials. And Pettitte didn't even spend his entire career with the Pin Stripes. So, with no disrespect meant to these three fine ballplayers, it's reasonable to ask, where does this stop? And at a certain point, what will the Yankees do for uniform numbers for current players?
Before this week's announcement, the Yankees has already retired 18 uniform numbers, including all of the single digits (They're all here if you're curious — Derek Jeter's #2 isn't on the list yet but soon will be). Now the team is up to 21 numbers off the training table.

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Rookie Mat Latos threw seven solid innings and Will Venable went 3-for-4 with a run batted in, as San Diego took a 4-2 victory over Atlanta in the opener of a three-game series at Petco Park.
Latos (3-1) gave up only two runs on six hits and two walks, and struck out three in the triumph. The 6-foot-6 right-hander, who was making his fourth career start, has won his last three outings.
Kyle Blanks homered for San Diego, which rebounded from a loss Sunday to Milwaukee and has won six of seven overall.
"It's been good," Venable said of his team's recent stretch. "I think the attitude, the whole team is, 'Let's go out there and do everything we can do,' to do our jobs, to hold ourselves accountable. Play at the level we know we can play at."
Adam LaRoche hit a homer for Atlanta, which has lost two in a row and five of its last seven. Kenshin Kawakami (5-9) took the loss after giving up three runs on eight hits in six frames.
The teams added to the score a run at a time, though the Braves had a chance to blow the game open in the first inning. They loaded the bases with a leadoff walk from Nate McLouth, followed by singles from Martin Prado and Chipper Jones.
Brian McCann's sacrifice fly to center got McLouth home, but Garret Anderson popped up to shallow right field. Prado tried to score on the play, but second baseman David Eckstein threw him out at the plate.
In the bottom of the first, Venable singled with two down and scored on Kevin Kouzmanoff's double, tying the game.
LaRoche's one-out solo shot in the second put the Braves back on top until the bottom half, when Blanks hit a leadoff shot to right-center.
The Padres edged in front in the bottom of the third, which Eckstein opened with a triple. Venable followed with a single back up the middle to plate the run.
The score remained 3-2 through the middle innings, though the Braves had a chance to score in the top of the seventh after putting two on with one out. However, Matt Diaz grounded into a force out that left runners at the corners, and Venable made a nice diving catch on pinch-hitter Greg Norton's sinking liner to right, ending the threat.
"That may win us the game right there," Braves manager Bobby Cox said of Norton's liner. "He scalded that ball, it was a bullet. If that ball falls in, for sure we're tied, and maybe we go ahead with McLouth up next."
San Diego added an insurance run in the home half against Braves reliever Eric O'Flaherty. Everth Cabrera opened the frame with a single and stole second, then took third, and finally came home on Oscar Salazar's pinch- single.
Mike Adams took over for Latos in the eighth and pitched a 1-2-3 frame, while Heath Bell tossed a perfect ninth for his 27th save.

I've looked through some of the older stuff and seen that some folks have built or are otherwise using peristaltic pumps... What's the overall impression? Worth it? Or too much of a pain? Potential pitfalls? Thanks!
Pluses and minuses. Self-priming!! Have to have the right tubing Less places for any contamination to hide Typically not as high a flow rate I have one (cheap commercial jobby) that I don't brew with but I do use it to do recirculating cleaning of my tap lines. Works great for that!
Also they tend to be expensive, but I have seen home made versions on Youtube.
I've been wanting one for a while, but they are more $$ than I want to spend to buy one and I haven't had a chance to build one yet. One nice thing is that if you use the right sized parts you can get a good flow rate, and the head they put out is generally MUCH better than an impeller pump, from what I've read. Plus, the only real replacement part is a bit of silicone hose. Cleaning is as simple as running some cleaner and sanitizer through and there are no real places for bits to get hung up at.

Completion and Refurbishment Centers 2011
In the past couple of years, the recession has caused independent completion and refurbishment centers to compete for business the way mall shoppers vie for parking spaces in the week before Christmas.
But things are changing. With a global economic recovery in sight, the business aviation industry is seeing signs of a rebound. Total flight hours are climbing steadily; charter and fractional ownership business is increasing; the used-aircraft-for-sale inventory is shrinking; and even new-aircraft sales are showing signs of life. The result is that the workload at cabin completion and refurbishment shops is increasing, and so is the cost to clients.
Independent centers are already seeing available slots dwindle as customers purchase low-time used aircraft and bring them in for a minor or major refurbishment. At the upper end of the scale, demand for single- and twin-aisle airliners, from Airbus A319s to Boeing 747-8s, is already growing faster than completion slots become available.
In light of these developments, it is a wise owner who gets out ahead of the power curve by reserving a slot with a manufacturer-operated or independent completion or refurbishment center well in advance. This list includes those centers, as well as independent exterior-paint shops.

Sencha Touch 2 Developer Preview
Today we're thrilled to share with you the first developer preview of Sencha Touch 2. Sencha Touch 1.0 launched just one year ago and has become the leading framework to build mobile HTML5 apps. Today, we're delivering a preview of our biggest update to the framework yet. We've focused on three key areas: Performance, Ease of Use, and Native Packaging. We'd like to share with you the details of each of these.
h3. Performance First
Our number one goal for Sencha Touch 2 is performance. Web apps can't be beaten for convenience, but you want them to be fast too. There's the measurable stuff: fast to boot up, fast to layout, fast to switch orientation, and fast to render. But there's also the intangible aspects—scrolling needs to feel smooth and animations should be fluid and flicker-free.
A Brand New Layout Engine
One of the key targets for performance improvement was the layout engine. The Sencha Touch 1.0 layout engine was extremely powerful and great for laying out apps just the way you want them, but the price for all that power was often reduced performance. This was especially evident when rotating the device, where layout updates could take up to a second to complete.
Our mission in Touch 2 was to dramatically improve layout performance while maintaining the flexibility that developers are accustomed to. To achieve this, we rethought how to size and position things on screen. The result is massively improved layout performance across the board. Screens pop onto the page much faster when navigating through the app, giving a much more fluid experience, but the most dramatic improvement is when changing a device's orientation. The new layout engine is so fast we had to use a high-speed camera to measure it. Here's the Kitchen Sink buttons example running on 1.x and 2.x, slowed down to one quarter speed:
That's a Motorola Atrix rotating with 1.1 and 2.0. Shooting at 120 frames per second, Sencha Touch 1.1.0 takes 118 frames (0.98 seconds) to update the application layout. With Sencha Touch 2.0, it takes just 42 frames (0.35 seconds) for the exact same example. You'll see see similar speedups throughout all the demo apps with Sencha Touch 2.0.
Android Performance
The second big improvement we've made in Sencha Touch 2.0 is Android performance, particularly when it comes to scrolling and animation. Many of you noted the fact that Android devices were noticeably slower when scrolling through large lists, and that animations could be choppy and exhibit weird visual artifacts.
Touch 2 gives Android its own optimized mechanism for achieving both smooth scrolling and fast, fluid animations. We'll go further into the technology behind these advances at SenchaCon later this month, but for now here's the Motorola Atrix again, showing just how much faster 2.0 feels on Android devices.
Startup Time
The third major area of performance improvement is in Sencha Touch startup time. We've optimized everything we can put our hands on with startup. And so far we're seeing between 10% to 25% improvement in startup time on a range of devices, when testing our Kitchen Sink example. This app is sizable—it demonstrates almost every component in the framework and on many devices loads almost a second faster in 2.x:
Easy to Use
The second objective of Sencha Touch 2 is to make it easier to create applications. There are many things we've done to improve this, from simplifying configuration options, to providing more example code and completely overhauling the documentation.
Class System and Apps
Sencha Touch 2 uses the powerful new class system from Ext JS 4. This gives us all of the benefits of dynamic loading, intelligent builds that only include the classes you use, mixins, configurations and all the other features of the new engine. We have a full guide to the new class system on the documentation site.
We've also brought across the improved application architecture from Ext JS 4, that includes ComponentQuery and production build support. All these features haven't been at the expense of download size. We've been able to keep the total download payload roughly the same size, and that's before build optimization.
Streamlined Component Configuration
In the past, if you ever needed to set/get a config like "label" you would need to create your setters and getters yourself. Now, with Sencha Touch 2 you get this out of the box. The new class system gives you the ability to set up configs
—simple properties that are automatically given getter and setter functions, defaults and more.
Sencha Touch 2 makes use of the config system throughout the framework so whenever you see a config on a class you already know that you can reconfigure it at any time (even after it is rendered). Even better, because the config's setter name always follows the same pattern you already know what function to call.
For example, we can give a Text Field a label when we instantiate it and then know we can easily change it later:
var text = Ext.create('Ext.form.Text', { label: 'My Field' }); // anything we can configure also has a setter function // its name always follows the setConfigName pattern text.setLabel('Another Field');
From the Sencha Touch documentation, every listed config option has a getter and setter function. They all follow the exact same pattern of getConfigName and setConfigName. This makes it really easy to configure and reuse components throughout your app.
Great Documentation
We're totally obsessed with improving our documentation for Sencha Touch 2. The new docs feature all of our examples and videos baked right in, but the real improvements are in the class reference.
All of the most widely used classes in Sencha Touch 2 feature excellent documentation right in the API reference. Interspersed with the class docs are dozens of live examples that run right in your browser and let you see (and even modify) the example code on the fly. We've also brought all of the SASS variables for each Component into the API docs, making it much easier to see what you can customize.
Finally, we're shipping 11 brand new guides out of the box. Check out our work in progress with guides that explain core concepts like Layouts, Components and Classes, and others that cover how to use components like tab panels, forms and carousels. For Sencha Touch veterans there's a What's New in 2 guide, and the new Getting Started guide takes you through building your first app from scratch.
Native Packaging
One of the most common questions developers ask when building Sencha Touch apps is "how do I get my app in front of customers?" In many scenarios, building and deploying apps to the web is exactly what developers want and customers expect. In some cases, getting apps in to app stores is an added bonus.
Today, along with Sencha Touch 2 preview, we're shipping a developer preview of our SDK Tools 2.0. This first preview is available on Mac OSX and packages your app for submission to the Apple App Store. The new SDK Tools include a new sencha package
command that enables you to take your Sencha Touch app and package it up for submission to Apple.
To make a developer's life easier, on iOS the packager doesn't require the native SDK so you can package without having to download the iOS SDK. Just download the SDK Tools and you're ready to build. For developers who do have the the native SDKs, you can use the SDK Tools to directly push your app to the iOS emulator so you can see how your app will run on device.
There will be many more capabilities in our packaging tool by final release. If you're interested in getting started, embedded in the documentation is a new guide that has all the details on how to use the new packaging capabilities. We think you'll be as excited as we are with how easy it is now to build and package your web app for native distribution.
Developer Preview
This is just a developer preview so we're not quite feature complete yet. At the moment the main items missing from the release are multiple carousel animations, sortable tabs, draggables and history/deep linking support. These will all be coming back into the framework before general release.
As a preview release, APIs are not yet frozen. This should be fair warning. Because the API is not yet frozen, we're also not yet guaranteeing backwards compatibility with Sencha Touch 1.x.
Everyone attending SenchaCon later this month will also be able to attend Jamie Avins' talk on migrating apps from Sencha Touch 1 to Sencha Touch 2.
From faster startup time to Android advances, from fluid scrolling to amazing documentation, from native packaging to the new class system, Sencha Touch 2 will be a major step forward for developers looking to build mobile HTML5 applications. We're very excited about all the improvements to Sencha Touch, and we're excited to see what developers will accomplish. Join us in the forums and keep an eye on the blog as we post more articles on Touch 2.
And of course, if you want to meet the folks behind Touch, join us at SenchaCon in Austin, Texas!

3 years agoAnother work of art! We'rspeechlesschless. Mostly because our jaw dropped on android's new performance improvements. Well done Sencha, well done.
Mike McCarron
3 years agoI've been waiting to get my hands on this. It looks awesome guys. Wonderful work as always.
3 years agoA shame the preview is not compatible with the BlackBerry PlayBook :(. I wanted to see if it was finally possible to use animations in apps, but the kitchensync demo make the browser crash and the doc doesn't load on the device.
3 years agoYou dropped the dispatcher and routes?? Color me disappointed. That was the shinning jewel in Sencha touch 1.1
Certainly awesome work moving the two frameworks closer to a unified platform, but I personally feel like they are missing a large piece of the application puzzle with out a routing and dispatching system.
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@esatterwhite nope, routes are coming back in an even better form. Like I said, we've dropped a feature or two from the PR so we can get it in your hands faster (I actually mention the routing stuff in the post)
3 years agoI just installed the SDK and tried to package and run the twitter application on the iOS simulator. Just Awesome.
Jamie Avins
3 years ago@esatterwhite This is just a developer preview so we're not quite feature complete yet. At the moment the main items missing from the release are multiple carousel animations, sortable tabs, draggables and history/deep linking support (a large portion of MVC). These will all be coming back into the framework before general release.
3 years agoGreat work. Is this all the changes will be in final version 2.0? Will there be any new UI controls like Grid control will be added in final version?
Steffen Hiller
3 years agoFirst, THANKS, AWESOME !!1!!!!111
Out of all removed features, I'd vote for router stuff to be #1 prio.
But then, I'm already happy.
Jamie Avins
3 years ago@Murali @VH We don't have new UI controls planned for 2.0. We've focused on three key areas: Performance, Ease of Use, and Native Packaging. We do have plans for new controls after 2.0 is released.
3 years agoThank you, Jamie. Is there a roadmap for ST so we'd have something to plan our effort around?
Aditya Bansod
3 years ago@VH - as Jamie said we don't have any new UI controls planned for Touch 2. We've had a strong focus on the fundamentals, like performance, Android, native packaging, and the like and that's all been in response to what our customers have been asking. In the community we've seen tons of people build on top of the core classes in Touch to create things like data views and grids and other cool features like that. Of course, we'd love to bring some of that in to the core framework but in Touch 2 we're focused on the features and areas I mentioned above.
@Murali - we haven't removed features, they're just not in preview yet.
3 years agoThis is the first Web UI Toolkit, which doesn't suck on the Android (2.3) browser. Awesome job! Thank you so much!
3 years ago@Aditya, all new features are great and I am sure you will get tons of positive feedback from guys building x-platform consumer apps. But since we build LOB apps, new features in 2.0 don't help us that much, except, probably, better Android perf (we're targeting primarily iPads and Windows tablets, where perf is OK), so we'd need to know how the roadmap looks like. Is it available? Because ST not having a given control is not necessarily a problem. The problem is not knowing when or whether certain feature will be implemented. Not having a roadmap is going to be a huge impediment for business ISVs adopting ST.
3 years agoGreat work I'm sure but the Motorola Atrix is a dual-core beast of a phone and is one of the fastest out there atm. As a developer I'd like to know how well it performs on something like the Droid or Galaxy S.
3 years agoI am a little concerned about app start up times, how related to the size of the kitchen sink demo is this?
Put another way, if I produced a native iOS package for a small productivity app in Sencha Touch 2, and which loaded 0.5k of text data from local storage into a list home page, how fast would it load on the iPhone 4 (non S)?
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@Shaun we'll record some more videos to show those other devices, but the performance improvements are pervasive (Galaxy S 2 looks great for example). Atrix was just the first device I picked up…
@camelCase there are definitely more improvements on bootup time coming, we've spent more time on layout speed so far
James Hughes
3 years agoAre there plans to include a wrapper for native/device integration e.g. Getting acces to the camera when I have the app wrapped in the native wrapper?
3 years agoYou guys are amazing.
"JAW DROPS" exactly ...thats what I see when I talk about Sencha Touch to our clients.
And this Native Packaging features… is awesome.
3 years agoI tried to port my existing app (using Touch 1.1), but found the component property 'contentEl' missing. contentEl was helpful in reusing my library of components. Is there a different way to place an already created element in an touch 2.0 component? I certainly don't want to use the 'html' property.
Would appreciate a feedback comment.
3 years agoI picked up v 1.1.0 about a week ago and was about to drop it today because I could not easily wrap my mind around it and some of the samples I need don't even work.
I'm hoping that the documentation in this version will get me enthusiastic again.
I don't mind working hard to learn something new but I need the appropriate documentation to do that.
Experienced developers forget that even the basics is not obvious when you start something new.
I know its not a final version but I should be able to tell quickly if I can wrap my mind around it.
Good luck to both of us.
3 years agogreat stuff guys! the changes are EXACTLY what I've been needing: performance is the biggest thing for sure
I tried dropping this in straight up, and got a regModel error, but I'm assuming there will be some sort of v1 to v2 migration document
can't wait for the final release
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@Rakagod would love to hear how you get on
@eliss we de-emphasized gaining good compatibility for this preview release as not everything is finalized yet. As well as rounding that out (we are able to do a full diff between 1.1 API and 2.0 API to verify) we'll be providing a migration guide once we hit that milestone
Gregor Dorfbauer
3 years agoWe are happy to see this new developer preview and are evaluating the update of our #1 Sencha Touch app COOKLIST (http://www.sencha.com/apps/cooklist/ ) from 1.1.0 to 2.0.
Can you tell anything about SCSS changes? Did the structure/variables change very much?
3 years agoGreat work Sencha.
I don't see any mention of the packager working with android or blackberry.
Is this expected to be available closer to full release?
Also, Is there any example of how Native API's will be exposed to us?
3 years agoAm I the only android user who doesn't want an iphone look and feel when running a html5 web app on an Android phone?
David Levy
3 years agoAwesome news and job !
What about Windows Phone support ?
Is there an official platform support doc ? Would be great to see a matrix like the one from JQuery Mobile guys
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@Gregor layout-level CSS changed a fair bit, most components themselves have very similar markup to before though
@mwrf yes the native packager creates Android build, we just accidentally clipped that out of the guide. We'll push an update shortly
@Christian more theme options are on the way
@David windows phone has such a tiny share that we're concentrating on the bigger players first. However, we have been removing webkit-specific stuff where possible to make supporting platforms like windows phone easier to add
Ita Keen
3 years agoHmmmm… There seems to be some problems with event detection on Android. Flicking doesn't work (moves the whole app and breaks the UI a little), you have to be very gentle when wanting to scroll down lists.
Hope fully this will be fixed in DP2
3 years agoGreat release guys.. Is there a alternative for the ptype: pullrefresh (Pull To Refresh for Ext.dataview.List)?
3 years agoAwesome! This couldn't have come at a better time for me :D can't wait to get my head into this.
Michael Camden
3 years agoAfter playing with it last night, I feel that 2 is a giant improvement over 1.1 in terms of ease of use. Now that Sencha 2 more or less mirrors the ExtJS4 format, has there been any thought to creating a unified API? So that I can write an application once in ExtJS4, and have it appear correctly in mobile/desktop browsers?
Eric Bery
3 years agoI read that the migration speech from 1.x to 2.0 will be covered in the sencha conf. How soon after can we expect (or hope) to see the videos on your website? Unfortunately I can't make it :(
3 years agoSeems that Ext.os is missing from the API docs but used in several examples. I assume that will be added in the final version?
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@Dewey Pull to Refresh is high on the list of things to bring back in the next release or two
@Michael thanks :D More to follow on Ext JS 4/ST2 convergence (it's non trivial…)
@lee native packaging for Android is already supported
@Eric conference is in 2 weeks, videos will take longer. We'll put something up in the meantime to make life easier. Compatibility is explicitly not included in this preview though
Chris Walker
3 years agoFYI- when trying out this new release with touch charts, I got an error in touch-charts-debug.js line
Ext.applyIf(Ext.fx.Manager, Ext.util.Observable.prototype);
Ext.util.Observable is undefined.
3 years agoGreat work Guys!
Please make the docs more mobile browser friendly. When i try to view the docs from my phone's browser the scrollbars (ie the docs) are unusable (SGS 2 stock android browser)
3 years agoWhat about the Charts? When will it be upgraded to the new touch version?
Great work! fantastic as always!
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@Ari and @Chris: we're already porting Charts internally, will get it in your hands as soon as we're happy with it :
@Zoltan definitely
lee byeung ok
3 years agothank you for answer Ed Spencer…
And I have another question..
if sencha touch2 will be released some day.
Do Sencha Touch1 live also… and update new version… 1.2.. 1.3… 1.4 ...?? or Died??
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@lee we'll be publicly releasing Sencha Touch 1.1.1 shortly. There is a 1.2 also in the works, though most of our attention is focused on the (vastly superior) 2.x line

3 years agoI've been trying to package the kitchensink for android. But every time i package it following the Native Android Packaging documentation i get an .APP file instead of an .APK .
Am i doing something wrong or is this a bug?
3 years agoOut of curiosity, what was the motivation to create a Sencha packaging scheme for iOS and Android versus using PhoneGap? Does the Sencha packaging scheme do the same thing as PhoneGap by creating a native web view and running the content inside that web view?
Michael Mullany
3 years ago@Chris - one of the major reasons people use Touch & Ext JS is that it's all fully integrated and designed to work together. A chunk of touch developers are packaging their apps for store distribution, and we wanted to integrate packaging seamlessly into Touch and touch tools if we were going to maintain the best possible experience. We thought about embedding phonegap, but decided that we didn't want an external dependency, particularly when the functionality is pretty straightforward, and the code base is small.
Eric Berry
3 years agoI believe the Sencha packaging into iOS and Android is an essential step for developer adoption. Also, now that PhoneGap has been acquired, who knows it's future as far as cost or changes.
Keep up the great work, Sencha. I am a huge fan and hope to have a handful of Sencha Touch 2.0 apps by the end of the year.
3 years agoGreat news and a lot of improvement! Great work guys!
However forms are still broken and it's a deal breaker. When you try to enter something into the Name field in the Forms example the second edit field appears, partially overlaying the first one. Tested on Android 2.3.3.
Jamie Avins
3 years ago@Vitaly That form issue is an open item for us, but any further details you can provide would certainly help us resolve it. You can post the bug in our forums at http://www.sencha.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?92-Sencha-Touch-2.x-Bugs
Rob Colburn
3 years agoHi guys, anywhere I can find more documentation on the native packager? My first tests aren't so smooth… ("iPhone Distribution: ambiguous (matches "iPhone Distribution:—-" and "iPhone Distribution:—-" in—-.keychain)") - It should be noted I have multiple iPhone distribution keys.
Also, I'm not sure how to properly fill in certificateAlias for iOS as there's no example.
Evan Madow
3 years agosencha-touch.js vs sencha-touch-all.js?
I see the entire library (compressed) grew a couple hundred K. What's included in the 93K sencha-touch.js lib?
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@Evan it's carrying a lot of backwards-compatibility stuff that we'll tear out into a separate file, expect that to drop significantly
@Rob are you referring to the provisioning part of the process, before the actual packaging?
Evan Madow
3 years agoAnd by the way—somehow forgot to mention—SOLID RELEASE, GUYS. Cannot wait until I'm able to deploy the GM. Android performance is so critical to our app and you've seemed to nail it.
Rob Colburn
3 years ago@Ed Spencer
Well, I already have two different provisioning for my Sencha Touch app: one for me, and one for the company I'm building for. So, I brought over my www folder from phonegap, and wrote a quick configuration file. When I run "sencha package config.json", I get that error. The problem seems to be that it doesn't know whether to use my certificate or the company's certificate. I'd like to help it out (use my certificate now, and switch to company's later).
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@Rob I suggest you create a thread in the Touch 2 bugs forum (http://www.sencha.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?92-Sencha-Touch-2.x-Bugs). Drop me a message and I'll make sure the right people see it
3 years agowe have already developed a half of the application, should we upgrade to sencha 2.0 now??????????
please reply….....
3 years agoStarting a new project that will depend on touch charts for lots of content. We need usable output in the next couple of weeks. I'm assuming this means we have to stick with V1 for the time being?
Rob Colburn
3 years ago@Ed - Thanks, message posted - looks like Jamie's team is looking into it.
@Others who are looking at upgrading - The new interfaces have a changed a bit, and the Docs and examples are still being filled in. If your processes are like ours - you'll likely want to put this in a future release schedule, rather than immediate change. It is cleaner and faster though - awesome job team Sencha.
3 years agoI download the example of Sencha Touch 2 Developer Preview version.
But the nestedlist example can't not show the lists, it's all empty.
It's seems the 2.0 version have good performance enhancement on Android, I want to try this preview version on my production as soon as possible.
Can you give me some advice to try new nestedlist ?
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@James rather hard to tell what you mean, http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/example/kitchensink/index.html has a NestedList powering its navigation… (there's also a second NestedList inside the User Interface section of that example)
3 years agoGreat review, Ed! Very thorough.
I agree, documentation is quite well. I was having some issues at first but documentation got me through without having to nag support or my nerdy friends.
Jonathan Ekwempu
3 years agoGreat job guys. Apart from packaging will ST 2 SDK provide some of the native functions PhoneGap provides? What will be the relationship between ST 2 and PhoneGap?
3 years agoCongratulations for the great work guys! ST is amazing
I started a job using ST1.1 and now I'm tempted to move to ST2 to finish it up.
But history support/deep linking is a must in my app…do you know when it would be available?
Thank you very much.
Francis Shanahan
3 years agoNice work: 2.0 is way faster and gives me hope for HTML5 as a viable option on Android.
Really like the new features but if I'm honest it took me a LONG time to wrap my head around how to lay out the application. The automatic getter generation threw me.
To save others the trouble I put a simple MVC app-scaffold together on github using ExtJS4.0 MVC as a reference. Fork it here:
Again, nice work.
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@Francis that's fantastic, thanks We'll be adding something similar to the framework in the next release or two
@Claudio we're tentatively expecting history to come back in either the next release or the one immediately after it
@Jack thanks, docs have been a high priority for us (we're not done yet though!)
3 years ago@edspencer
Thanks, We actually use the dispatcher as an abstraction layer for 3rd party api like tracking analytics, and as a way for parts of the application to communicate with other parts of the application. Sure we use it for navigation and deep linking, but deep linking is not the primary why we are interested in the dispatcher.
3 years agoBeen following Sencha touch with interest eventhough i'm not into mobile apps development. Can anybody tell me if i can use ST for non-mobile devices like Kiosk with touchscreen?
David Kaneda
3 years ago@phil We haven't experimented with it, but hypothetically, if it were WebKit and provided touch support, ST would be fantastic on a Touchscreen Kiosk…
3 years ago@phil This is what I do in my day job, We use sencha touch for our Kiosk applications, running with chrome in kiosk mode. It works a treat, better than any android device I've tried running touch 1.0 on anyway.
The only stumbling block is that you will need to create a touch keyboard if you want to enter data.
I've created my own by extending Ext.Sheet, It behaves like any mobile browser keyboard, popping up
whenever a text field is entered into. I'll have to stick it up on github soon.
You don't need to worry about all the performance issues you see talked about both here on the forums and elsewhere, in my experience. Tweet me @mwrf if you have any questions.
Mike Pacific
3 years agoSo far, so great. Great work by all, can't wait to see the progress!
Any information as to when the next DP drops?
3 years ago@mwrf, thanks… sounds great indeed. but i can't just run a chrome because it needs to be integrated with our kiosk app. it's like exiting web temporarily and need to pass information with one another. hoping that OpenWebkitSharp (.NET Webkit browser control) will achieve my future requirement, just in time for ST 2.0.
3 years agoDamn, I was hoping to get a filter on Nestedlists. I've been waiting (im)patiently for this release and they haven't addressed this, although it has been discussed many times on the forum.
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@mwrf that sounds amazing, tell us more
@Mike will probably be week after next but no guarantees
Sven R.
3 years agosorry, but I'm absolutely angry.
I spend so much time with the fu… Version 1.x and it is ready for our customers, now a new version is on the marked and nothing works….
Sven R.
3 years agoby the way.
the version 2.xx solved not the problem with input forms in android browser.
->: examples/forms/index.html
open it with a normal Android phone browser, edit a field and scroll down or up and select a other field (appear 2 input fields)
it looks like the version 1.xx
3 years agoi tried running the getting started on Chrome 13 but the blogs are not showing. i can see an error "Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origina". any idea?
Samuel Schmid
3 years agoHy Ed! I'm very happy with your work! I will defenetly donate you, when my app will run well.
Did you manage that local storage worke with TreeStore?
Ed Spencer
3 years ago@Samuel don't donate; go make something awesome with Sencha Touch, then come back and tell us all about it - that's all the reward we need
@phil you're referring to the Getting Started guide for Touch 2? Those links are hard coded in the guide, seems unlikely that you'd see that error for that reason…
Samuel Schmid
3 years agoThanks for your reply Ed…
I will tell you as soon as I'm ready.
But what about the LokalTreeStore? Is it possible to make a local store for TreeStore?
3 years agoGood job! Thank you!
If we have access to the internal SQLite database in iOS with Sencha Touch 2?
3 years agoHi Ed, is there any plan to release the next version of sencha touch (bug fixes mostly)?
3 years agoHi Ed.
I am wondering if the Ext.regApplication" is part of the preview version?
Cannot find this function anywhere.
kind regards.
3 years agobtw. In this developer release the links to example apps from the docs often don't work. They link to (for example) /sencha/docs/touch/examples/kitchensink/index.html instead of /sencha/examples/kitchensink/index.html so there's a relative path problem in there somewhere.
3 years agoQuick question: I downloaded the Sencha 2 and was trying to run orielly example from the examples folder however it is complaining about Ext.reg method. Is this method removed?
Jamie Avins
3 years ago@Babar not yet, but it will be in very soon.
@pravin That example has not yet been updated to 2.0. It will be in an upcoming release.
3 years agohello Sencha team
I love the new API document!
But I test the new 2.0 example on my Android (Samsung ST5570),
I don't see any performance on my machine,
is my phone's hardware too slow ?
3 years agoHi guys,
It will be great to have some answers on several questions. Does it have sense to begin a new project using Sencha Touch 2.0 PR2? Is it possible to use Sencha Touch 2.0 PR2 using MVC pattern? It's very important to know because in the other case I will try with Sencha Touch 1.1.1.
Nav Patel
3 years agoHey guys, I've been developer-previewing ST2, to see what it feels like.
Outcome: http://www.redditui.com
Perf is feeling great in this version! There's some important features missing, which necessitated some javascript hackery, but otherwise, I'm really looking forward to the next release
John Doe
3 years agoIs there *any* guidance as to the timeline for something like a release for ST2? I've spent probably 70% of my time over the last three months working around inscrutable gotchas, horrible layout bugs, inconsistent data package behavior, and documentation full of holes. I love the concept of ST, and frankly have sunk too much time into it now to go back, but at this point I'm regretting not just building on native platforms as the v1.x line was obviously rushed to release and has cost us tons of time. Combine that with the total lack of guidance on roadmaps and release schedules, and it's getting hard for me to recommend Sencha to anybody at this point.
I'm glad there's a v2 that addresses at least some of this, but without some guidance as to what the rollout schedule is, it's impossible to make a decision on whether or not to abandon the v1 code and start investing time in ST2, since a lot of code will need to be re-written. Can Sencha PLEASE at least sketch out a roadmap?
Finally - why is there all this focus on native packaging, when there are several other, much more mature projects out there to do that and there are so many basic problems with the Sencha Touch platform itself?
3 years agoAwesome work Team Sencha..
I have a query.. Will native packaging for android too is expected in future St 2.O releases..?
3 years agoJohn Doe. +1
"I'm glad there's a v2 that addresses at least some of this, but without some guidance as to what the rollout schedule is, it's impossible to make a decision on whether or not to abandon the v1 code and start investing time in ST2, since a lot of code will need to be re-written.

John Doe
3 years ago@Jay: just look at AppMobi (or, I'm sure, others), you get native packaging sans SDKs, for Android and iPhone, right now, for free. There are plenty of non-Sencha solutions out there for that already.
Ita Keen
3 years agoJohn Doe, I agree with what you're saying. There were other priorities than to include yet another packager. And a roadmap would be more than useful because at this stage, who wants to spend time working on a beta if one doesn't know if the features he needs will be available in the final release. I wouldn't advise anyone to start with ST1 for anything but a simple app requiring no more than a few hours to complete. It's too broken to build complex, reliable apps.
Sridhar Reddy
3 years agoThe SDK for Mac crashes on install due to some 3rd party dependencies (at post install step) on Mac OS X 10.7.2..
Steve Straley
3 years agoHas there been any word/response from John Doe's blog post? It is critical, in order to maintain momentum AND to add support from more "corporate" customers (or potential customers) that at least a 6 month road map with scheduled deliverables are spelled out and document. Yes, plans can change and shift. Yes, timelines and dates can slip. No, current users and potential users can't be left in the dark. If this is just a "hobby" piece of software then fine - no road map with schedules is needed; however, that is not the impression (nor should it be). Many of us have our road maps and deliverables we have to give customers and we can't afford to offer silence - we need to be responsive to them, to the market, and against our competition. I urge those here that can, please tell us something. If you want help developing that road map, a schedule of deliverables, or whatever, let me know and I will help - I do this for a living. In the meantime, please consider what we all have said here within the last week. Silence is not a response.
3 years agoagreed, Steve Straley.
My team just started to talk about jquery because we don't have any idea when the version two is going to be release. We felt that sencha is not supporting us anymore… that is really sad. We see more roadmap in opensource projects than here… it is really sad!
I am trying to hold the next version of my mobile app just because I want to upgrade to ST2, but I think maybe it is time to move forward and really look other options… I don't think there is other framework better then ST2, but the way things are going it is better to have other options…
3 years agoagreed, Steve Straley.

Michael Mullany
3 years agoThanks for all your comments. Sencha Touch 1.x is an accomplished SDK that has been used to build a huge number of applications - just look at http://www.sencha.com/apps for what people have built with it.
We've already shipped PR2 of Sencha Touch, and in today's newsletter (which you should sign up for) there's a detailed walkthrough of porting an app from ST1 to ST2.
We're shying away from giving specific dates for betas or releases, but as guidance, Ext JS 4 took about 3 months from first preview to release and Sencha Touch 1 took five months from first beta to release. Other projects keep their releases in alpha and beta status for over a year before release - we don't do that and it's not our track record.
Sridhar Reddy
3 years agoMichael,
Thanks for the update. The question below relates to a bug in the current build (as demo'ed in the show and tell of this blog.). Maybe someone from your team can verify if it is a known issue?
>> The SDK for Mac crashes on install due to some 3rd party dependencies (at post install step) on Mac OS X 10.7.2..
Steve Straley
3 years agoMichael,
Thanks for the update. I understand the tendency to "shy away" from dates. As a Director of Development I, too, don't like to give dates especially without LOE's or worse, specs. But I have to assume when a preview of a pending release is announced that the LOE's and specs are in place which means a date can be calculated. I push back all the time when I don't know but when I do know, I announce it (internally and externally) with a road map and a timeline. I cannot imagine that your processes are any different.
Turning to "what other people have written" - that is a good marketing confirmation statement; however, for someone new to this and having to make a decision about future products, I cannot in good conscience make any decision based on what I now know as an older version and what I don't know, what a new version may entail. Since I don't know your track record that isn't important to me - a road map is - our customers expect that from us and we expect it in turn whether it is Microsoft, CodeJock, or whomever. Think of it this way - I don't want to schedule resource burn rates based on something that I know will change, especially when I have limited resources for planning, scheduling, and commitments. In short, our customers expect that from us and we, as your customers (or potential), expect that in turn so we can bubble up our release dates, expectations, and road maps.
Again, if you want assistance in this area I will be glad to help.

ST1 is more faster that ST2
Is st2 better ?
3 years agosorry i confuse in the last message.
ST1 need more time to start APP -> ST2 is more faster and better
3 years agoHow the heck did you guys get that performance on your android phone? I just dropped the examples onto our webserver and I am getting really laggy lists and forms… I wish it were as smooth as that but.. it's not…
3 years agoMichael,
I just signed up for your newsletter. Is there a way I can get the archive of that "detailed walkthrough of porting an app from ST1 to ST2?"

Havana Bienal
May 21-28, 2015
The week will be devoted to meeting and sharing ideas with Cuban artists, curators and the everyday people of Havana. Contemporary art of Cuba, Latin America, Asia and Africa will be fully displayed throughout the city, making this curated event the only place on the Globe where you can see all of this work together in one place. For American art experts and aficionados alike, the Havana Bienal is a good way to stay in touch with developments in the visual arts of these regions.
Wall to wall art with a tropical breeze!
Havana comes alive during the Bienal, many venues around the city open up to fabulous installations. The city has recently experienced a foodie revolution where many wonderful new private restaurants have opened to the delight of locals and visitors alike. Every artist studio in town will be open and waiting for you.
The opening week will be a citywide art event with multiple venues opening each day. You will be there with art lovers from around the world. Your trip dates coincide exactly with the Opening week of the Bienal.
The visit will take place in Havana and will include a variety of cultural activities and substantive interactions with Cuban cultural experts as well as everyday citizens. All of the program will be designed to maximise quality interaction with the artists and musicians and everyday citizens of the Capital city.
You will be staying at the Hotel Telegrafo, one of the best four star hotels in Old Havana.
What is People to People Travel?
In 2102 US President Obama reinstated People to People educational travel, which allows Americans to travel to Cuba, via a Specific License, issued by the US Department of the Treasury (OFAC). All programs under this License, issued to Cultural Journeys Inc. and include a full time schedule of educational exchange activities designed to promote meaningful interactions between Americans and the people of Cuba. People to People travel is not tourist oriented or self directed but it is both rewarding and unique. It allows participants to visit a wide scope of organizations, institutions, and community projects that provide a deeper understanding of Cuba, its people and its culture.

Michael Sam And The State Of Gay Acceptance In The Midwest
Ten years ago, the people of Missouri overwhelmingly voted to change the state constitution to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Last week, when openly gay football player Michael Sam was drafted by the St. Louis Rams, in Missouri, the outcry condemning Sam's lifestyle stood in stark contrast to an overwhelming outpouring of support. And back in February, when Sam made a public announcement declaring his sexual orientation, a small handful of protestors was met by a huge crowd of Mizzou fans and Sam supporters.
On Monday's Central Standard, we examined whether the conversation about gay rights and gay acceptance has shifted here in the heartland in recent years.

April 30, 2013 | 25
This past weekend the misguided aquatic ape theory surfaced for air, only to get sunk in the most entertaining way. The theory holds that many traits of humans—including our naked skin, upright posture and large brains–evolved as adaptations to living in an aquatic environment. But fossil and archaeological evidence simply does not support this scenario, so whenever the aquatic ape theory makes the media rounds, scientists grumble. This time, however, they responded with parody.
On April 27 the Guardian ran a story on the aquatic ape theory, highlighting a symposium that will be held in London May 8 – 9 to "explore new research and evidence which suggests that at some stage during the last few million years, our human ancestors were exposed to a period of semiaquatic evolution which led to the acquisition of unique and primordial human characteristics." That story and other media coverage of the aquatic ape idea inspired anthropologist Brenna Hassett to propose a satirical alternative to the watery fringe theory in her blog the following day. Thus the space ape theory was born.
"Basic Arguments of the Space Ape Theory:
1. we have evolved big brains relative to our bodies because we don't need our bodies to move around in space.
2. we don't have much body hair because what would be the point of a few more follicles worth in 2.73 Kelvin (-270 Celsius)?
3. sinuses, far from being evolutionary spandrels, are little miniature internal space helmets.
4. our outsize eyes clearly show our relation to other species in space.
Follow-on arguments include the theory that language must have evolved once we re-terrestrialised, because as we all know, in space, no one can hear you scream."
This, of course, led to the coining of a Twitter hashtag, #spaceape, whereupon more hilarity ensued. A sampling:
Body hair makes spacesuit temp control systems less efficient. Head hair is important though because it looks awesome weightless. #spaceape
— Karen James (@kejames) April 28, 2013
Of course we have back problems on Earth! We're crushing our space-adapted intervertebral discs! #spaceape — Caitlin S (@paleophile) April 28, 2013
Exaggerated secondary sexual characteristics needed for mate recognition while wearing bulky spacesuits. #spaceape
— Holly Dunsworth (@HollyDunsworth) April 28, 2013
Ventral-ventral copulation evolved because, duh, otherwise the rocket packs would get in the way #spaceape — Victoria Herridge (@ToriHerridge) April 28, 2013
Our hairless skin provides better adhesion for spandex spacesuits. #spaceape
— Patrick N.R. Julius (@PNRJulius) April 29, 2013
Early primates developed grasping hands, knowing one day they'd be used for space-knobs, buttons, & levers. history.nasa.gov/SP-402/p58.jpg #spaceape — Patrick Clarkin (@Patrick_Clarkin) April 28, 2013
the fact that 98% of human population prefers to interact with screens rather than one another is ultimate proof of #spaceape theory. — Henry Gee (@HenryGeeBooks) April 28, 2013
Now I don't mean to suggest that aquatic environments were not important in human evolution. They were. Indeed the #spaceape antics prompted archaeologist Becky Wragg Sykes to blog about legit research into the connection between prehistoric humans and water. But there is no substantive evidence to support the idea that the anatomical characteristics that distinguish us from our ape kin arose as adaptations to an aquatic lifestyle.
The loss of body hair and upright posture that occurred on the savannahs probably helped in eventually making short-term forays into the surf more productive. While chimps and other great apes can wade and paddle, having a light frame, smooth skin and a relatively streamlined shape makes Homo Sapiens the best swimmer in the primate family. In other words, being adapted for one environment allowed our ancestors to be coincidently well-adapted to take advantage of another one. Since a lot of the migration routes out of Africa and areas beyond tend to follow coastlines, this seems to be the case. Presently, we are now one of the most widespread invasive species on the planet!
Link to thisThey left out one bit of the most compelling evidence; dreams. Almost everyone reports dreams in which they can fly. What better explains that common genetic memory than our space ape origin? I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
Funny stuff. Thanks.

There is nothing unusual about primates exploiting aquatic resources for food. Wading bipedally in shallow water and even diving underwater for aquatic plants or shellfish in freshwater and in marine environments has been observed in many monkeys and apes and, of course, is common in primitive human populations. So its certainly not a question as to whether such bipedal aquatic feeding behavior in humans and other primates is possible.
The question is, is there any evidence that a primate species actually became– specialized– in such aquatic feeding behavior for an extensive period of evolutionary time and whether its possible humans could be descended from such primates.
The aquatic ape hypothesis was first conceived by Oxford marine biologist, Sir Alister Hardy, back in the 1920s. But he didn't reveal his hypothesis to the public until 1960 during a lecture and then in an article in the journal, New Scientist.
Elaine Morgan first encountered the hypothesis after she read a synopsis of it in the Desmond Morris book, the Naked Ape. Then she wrote about it in her own book, the Descent of Woman in the early 1970s.
Basically, Hardy's argument was that humans became bipeds and developed a thick subcutaneous fat because they needed to wade into shallow water in order to get access to shellfish.
I should note that aquatic wading is also one of the leading hypotheses for the origin of bipedalism in archosaurs (dinosaurs, birds, and crocodilians)
I think its pretty obvious that Oreopithecus evolved its bipedalism as a wading adaptation for exploiting aquatic plants during its 2 million years of isolation on the ancient Mediterranean island of Tuscany-Sardinia.
The lobulated medulla of the human kidney strongly suggest that humans were once specialized in consuming foods with an extremely high salt content. Since the African continent tends to be deficient in food resources with high levels of salt, human ancestors obviously evolved such kidneys along a marine coastline– probably an island, IMO.

Link to thisFurther evidence of our former aquatic ancestry is provided in the unstoppable determination of most humans, wherever they can afford it, to eat food in quantities that tend to make us spherical in shape, to reduce heat losses in the relatively cold sea waters. This makes humans look more like our ex-aquatic cousins the elephant, and presently aquatic cousins, the hippopotamus (and of course the whale).
Our dextrous fingers evolved, of course, to better comb the tresses of mermaids, now sadly extinct.

I should note that aquatic wading is also one of the leading hypotheses for the origin of bipedalism in archosaurs (dinosaurs, birds, and crocodilians)
…Where did you get that from? It's not. I've never even seen it mentioned, and I follow the paleontology of that group quite closely!
I think its pretty obvious that Oreopithecus evolved its bipedalism as a wading adaptation for exploiting aquatic plants during its 2 million years of isolation on the ancient Mediterranean island of Tuscany-Sardinia.
Oreopithecus was a leaf-eater, as shown by both the shape of its teeth and their microwear. It stood under trees and reached for leaves like a ground sloth or chalicothere or homalodothere or giant kangaroo (Procoptodon). There's no evidence that O. has anything to do with our ancestry.
The lobulated medulla of the human kidney strongly suggest that humans were once specialized in consuming foods with an extremely high salt content.
If it were extreme, we'd have separate reniculi. We don't. It's important to remember that too much salt and too little water are the same thing as far as kidneys are concerned, and we live in drier environments than pretty much any other primate; no wonder our kidneys are the most cattle-like and rhino-like of apparently any primate.
A whole article dedicated to the ridicule of a scientific hypothesis. Not very scientific.
It's not a scientific hypothesis. To keep repeating arguments that were disproved decades ago, to cherry-pick the evidence, to make up elaborate excuses why the fossil record doesn't fit the hypothesis – that's pseudoscience. It's as much a cargo cult as Melba Ketchum's very own journal.
Link to thisCrocodile-style swimming has been suggested to explain why archosaurs generally have longer, stronger hind- than forelimbs; but wading? Never. Look at Proterosuchus and tell me how it could have done that. o_O Besides, there's no point in mentioning birds separately; they're maniraptoran coelurosaurian tetanuran theropod saurischian dinosaurs.

"The remains of Oreopithecus bambolii are extremely abundant in VI, and this species represents one of the commonest mammals at the site…..Evidence for a primarily aquatic setting and a humid forested environment is provided by the extensive lignite accumulations, the common occurrence of skeletal remains in anatomical connection, the abundance of fossil crocodiles, chelonians, and freshwater mollusks, and the occurrence of otters…..The area was evidently poorly drained, and the forested areas were interspersed with numerous freshwater pools and shallow lakes. pg 335
"Interestingly, there is also a corresponding decline in the abundance of Oreopithecus in V2, which might simply imply a relatively narrow ecological preference by this taxon for swampy, forested habitats." pg. 336
"Another possibility is that Oreopithecus was exploiting aquatic or wetland plants, such as water lilies, reeds, sedges, cattail, pond weeds, horsetails, and stoneworts, all of which are abundantly represented in the pollen spectrum from Baccinello." pg. 341,
"If it were extreme, we'd have separate reniculi…If it were extreme, we'd have separate reniculi. "
The external appearance of the kidney is not what matters when trying to rapidly rid the body of salt. Its the number of medullary pyramids that matters. The purpose of medullary lobulation is to increase the surface area between the medulla and the cortex in order to enhance the rate of excretion of hypertonic fluids. Humans can have up to 20 medullary pyramids in their kidneys. Old world monkeys and apes have– none!
Camels have lobulated kidneys, not because they live in the desert but because they consume plants and drink water from brine pools with a salt content that's higher than seawater. There were plenty of freshwater resources for hominin ancestors in sub-Saharan Africa during the Pliocene and Pleistocene.
Humans have lobulated kidneys probably because a common ancestor use to specialize in eating shellfish. This probably happened on an isolated island off the African coast during the Pliocene which is probably why humans lost a dramatic amount of their genetic variation relative to other hominoids and why they they managed to avoid a baboon retrovirus than substantially contaminated all other hominoids and other primates in sub-Saharan Africa– except humans.
But there's nothing unusual about the exploitation of marine shellfish in humans and in other primates. In fact, it is a common behavior in coastal marine human populations both in the present and in the past.
Marcel F. Williams
Link to this@David Marjanović I agree with you, but nothing in this article is about the science. It's sole purpose is to make painfully non-funny 'jokes' about something which isn't completely stupid. There are lots of interesting points to the idea and whereas I don't think we did have an aquatic past, the questions raised by the theory are very interesting, such as why we lost our hair, have subcutaneous fat etc, etc… An example being what you said about kidneys. I found that very interesting that high salt and low water cause similar effects to the kidneys. I may have missed that interesting snippit if it weren't for the questions raised by the theory!
Link to thisAgain, very disappointing to read something by someone you thought you respected that is just ignorant sneering. As I said elsewhere today, a bit like finding out Sam Harris keeps "several" guns.
The "aquatic ape theory" is a misnomer. It is not one idea, but several. The term "aquatic" is loaded and invokes images of primate seals and mermaids. It is not only to do with precursors to humans ("apes") but to the genus Homo too.
People should refer to them (plural) as waterside hypotheses of human evolution as the latest scholarly book on the subject suggests. It's a shame Kate has not kept herself up to date on the subject.
The material point is that humans are very different from our ape cousins, despite being closer genetically to chimps than they are to any other species. There are a remarkable cluster of traits that distinguish us from the rest of the ape clade and all of them are consistent with some, rather radical, shift in habitat. It's simply a Darwinian thing to do to consider what evolutionary scenario that might have been.
Of the three conceivable substrates on the planet, our ancestors may have moved through trees, on land or in water. It is bizarre in the extreme to discount one of those a priori, simply because one has misunderstood some people's writings about a particular idea and has decided that it is as bad as thinking we evolved in space, especially when it is known that climate change did affect the habitat of our ancestors and the major result of that change was to do with that stuff that begins with "w".
I must pick up on your last point:
"But there is no substantive evidence to support the idea that the anatomical characteristics that distinguish us from our ape kin arose as adaptations to an aquatic lifestyle"
Except for a really obvious one: we do swim and dive better than chimps.
Algis Kuliukas
Link to thisAquatic Ape makes complete sense if we change the Earth model. If we discount Continental Drift in which there is no sold evidence for, and replac eit with an Expanding Earth much Robert Montavani proposed in 1910, than the aquatic ape makes perfect sense. Before the Earth started growing 200mya, the land was shallow seas, this was proved in China, where they found fossilized remains of a 300mya old Tropical Forest. This makes sense since evolution is merely environmental adaptation. We grew hands and feet since we were rising up out of the ocean, science has already proven the mechanism behind the formation of flippers into limbs. We will continue with more questions than answers until we answer the right questions.

If that were true then baboons would have the most lobulated medullary region of all primates. They don't. Plus there's no evidence that humans were confined to deserts and lacked freshwater resources in sub-Saharan Africa.
Plus losing too much salt is still a problem even in the desert especially for humans since the sweat a lot of salt. Salt loss is such a problem in human beings that a significant number of human sweat glands have been deactivated. And even the sweat glands themselves have been modified to reduce salt loss by returning salt back to the body.

I replied to all this yesterday in the appropriate thread. I won't repeat it here because, among other things, it's just too embarrassing for you. *facepalm*
I also replied to what you say about Oreopithecus.

Are you sure you haven't confused cause and effect here?

…You must have overlooked this comment (follow the link called "here") and the middle of this admittedly very long comment.
the questions raised by the theory are very interesting, such as why we lost our hair, have subcutaneous fat etc, etc…
I wouldn't say these questions are raised by the AAH. The AAH is simply one attempt to answer them.
The loss of hair except on the head is usually explained as an adaptation to radiating heat off and making the sweat glands work better while still not overheating the head. Subcutaneous fat… well, do most of us really have more of that than your average male orang-utan, for instance?
And do keep in mind that nobody is telling the AAH proponents to just shut up. We're explaining the errors in the hypothesis.
(A theory is something larger than a hypothesis, something that shows underlying connections between hypotheses and explains many disparate facts. A hypothesis has a narrower scope.)
a bit like finding out Sam Harris keeps "several" guns
Having read what he has written about torture and about nuclear first strikes, I'm not at all surprised about that.
It is bizarre in the extreme to discount one of those a priori
It's not a priori. That's what I've been trying to explain all along.
Except for a really obvious one: we do swim and dive better than chimps.
We also run much better than them, and even when walking we're much better at covering long distances.
Obvious questions:
1) Since when?
2) Which abilities could be byproducts of each other?
Our long legs and large lung capacity let us swim and dive better than chimps; but, given the fossil record and various details of the anatomy of our legs, isn't it easier to assume the selective advantage they convey lies in long-distance walking?
If we discount Continental Drift in which there is no sold evidence for
…Indeed, it was a somewhat shaky model. That's why it was replaced by plate tectonics in 1968. I wonder where you've been in the meantime.
It's an observed fact that the Alps and the Pacific become narrower each year.
And switch your spellchecker off, its vocabulary is way too small.
and replac eit with an Expanding Earth much Robert Montavani proposed in 1910
How does that work? What force creates empty space in the Earth? Why are there subduction zones? I could go on.
Before the Earth started growing 200mya, the land was shallow seas, this was proved in China, where they found fossilized remains of a 300mya old Tropical Forest.
Oh, man.
That forest didn't grow in the sea. I mean, hello? Neither did the 315 to 300 Ma old coal forests in North America and Europe, or the 370 Ma old Archaeopteris forests in about the same places, or the liverwort carpets of Ordovician times. There are 1.4-billion-year-old raindrop imprints; those can't form on the seafloor!
The idea that "the Earth started growing" at the end of the Triassic comes from the fact that Wegener, who died in 1930, didn't reconstruct the positions of the continents before that age. But Pangaea isn't the original state of the Earth. Pangaea assembled itself from continents that collided. Their movements have been reconstructed all the way through two previous supercontinents, to about 750 million years when the Pacific Ocean opened between North America in the east and Australia + Antarctica in the west, and with less precision to one more supercontinent that existed about two billion years ago.

That wasn't 200 Ma ago for any definition of "we".
If that were true then baboons would have the most lobulated medullary region of all primates.
It's size-related, too; and baboons don't live in drier areas than where we come from – they live in the same savannas.
Plus there's no evidence that humans were confined to deserts and lacked freshwater resources in sub-Saharan Africa.
Never said they were. Just saying savanna vs. rainforest.

Good scientists are open-minded. History is full of ideas and theories that were initially ridiculed before becoming established based on evidence. Remember continental drift?
Brutal (as in awful) editorial content in Kate Wong's article above.

Uh, yeah. We're just not so open-minded that our brains fall out.
See, the AAH has been tested so often, and failed every time, that there's really no point in continuing to entertain it.
Remember continental drift?
Oh yeah. About half of the scientists in relevant disciplines accepted it right away; and then it turned out Wegener was massively wrong about the mechanism and several other things.

For Hummingbirds, It's Easy to Shift Into Reverse
October 3, 2012 1:00 PMCorrection Appended
It would seem to take a lot of energy for a bird to move backward, but hummingbirds fly in reverse fairly often. Now a study reports that their backward flight is almost as efficient as their forward flight.
"When they are flying backwards they have a very upright body posture," said Nir Sapir, an avian ecologist affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany and one of the researchers involved in the study. "We thought they might have a much higher drag, and invest much more energy in flight."
Dr. Sapir worked on the study when he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. He and his colleague Robert Dudley, a researcher at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama, reported their findings in The Journal of Experimental Biology.
Dr. Sapir captured five Anna's hummingbirds outside his laboratory and trained them to fly in a wind tunnel and feed on a syringe of sucrose disguised as a flower.
As they fed, Dr. Sapir turned on the air in the tunnel so that the birds had to fly backward to remain at the flower. He repeated the experiment with the feeder rotated 180 degrees so that the birds had to fly forward to keep feeding.
When flying forward, the birds beat their wings about 39.7 hertz. When they flew backward, they beat their wings only slightly faster, at 43.8 hertz. The rate of oxygen consumption was also similar, Dr. Sapir said.
The researchers also found that the birds were unable to fly backward at more than 10 miles per hour.
Correction: October 2, 2012, Tuesday
This article has been revised to reflect the following correction: An earlier version of this article included a photo with an incorrect orientation. It should have been rotated 90 degrees, so the bird was shown feeding with its beak parallel to the ground, not facing downward.

Biographical Sketch of William P. Brown
Posted By Dennis On In Canada | No Comments
William Penn Brown, lawyer, and mayor of Kincardine for three years, is a son of James and Lydia Carpenter (Kipp) Brown, and was born in the county of Elgin, Ontario, March 22, 1837. His father's sketch appears in preceding pages.
The maternal grandfather of William was a United Empire Loyalist, and had a brother who was a Colonel in the British army, the family coming to this country from New York.
Our subject was educated in the grammar schools of St. Thomas and London; studied law with James Daniell, then of London, now judge of the united counties of Prescott and Russell, and was admitted to practice, May 25, 1860, He commenced the law business at Welland; removed to Kincardine in May, 1862, and has since been in practice from that date, doing a thrifty business.
He is solicitor, notary public, commissioner for taking affidavits, conveyancer, solicitor for the Merchants'Bank of Kincardine, etc.
Mr. Brown has done good service in different positions in the municipality of the town; was a Trustee of the grammar school several terms, councilman two or three years, and mayor in 1876, 1877, and 1878, being the immediate successor of his father.
In politics he is a Conservative; is a Freemason, and was Master of Northern Light Lodge, two years.
January 28, 1870, he married Miss Estella J. Crable, a native of the county of Elgin, and they have two children living, and have lost three. The family attend the English church.
