COLORADO CITY — Defending Class 2A Division II state champion Idalou saw its hopes of a repeat dashed Friday night because it became victim to what beats all teams.
Cisco picked off Idalou quarterback Alec Estes three times, and the Wildcats fumbled three times and muffed the opening kickoff of the second half. The Lobos turned those into a pair of second-half touchdowns en route to a 27-14 victory.
"That's something we just haven't done, and we did it, and we paid the price for it," Idalou coach Don Long said. "We just made too many mistakes, and you can't win against a good team making that many mistakes. We made some bad decisions and some of it was taking care of the ball, and that just happens."
The 27 points allowed was more than the Wildcats (10-2) had surrendered in their previous 10 games combined after they allowed 26 in a season-opening loss to Cooper.
Cisco (12-0) advances to the regional final to face Holliday at a time, date and site to be determined.
Spencer Gassett accounted for four of the turnovers for the Lobos, recovering two fumbles and intercepting Estes twice. Gassett's first takeaway of the second half led to the go-ahead score for the Lobos, an 8-yard Josh McBride touchdown catch, and his second iced the game when he returned an Estes pick 11 yards for a touchdown to make it 27-7 with 4:07 left.
"We thought we had to win the turnover battle to have a chance, to have an opportunity to win this game," Cisco coach Brent West said. "Six was definitely the deciding factor against a team that just doesn't do that. I think our kids did a good job forcing some of those, but it was just one of those nights, and I've been a part of them on the other end and you're just wondering how that happened."
Not only did the Lobos force turnovers, but they beat Idalou at their own game — pounding it with their big offensive line and speedy backs to the tune of 274 rushing yards. Mason Reed led the Lobos with 130 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries, and Hayden Lewis added 113 yards on 16 carries.
"We're just like Idalou as far as we're going to run the football first and try to establish the line of scrimmage," West said. "In the games we've not established that we've lost, so I don't care how good folks are, we're going to try to establish the line of scrimmage first. We weren't consistent with it, but there were times we did move the ball for 4 yards when we needed it."
Tied at 7 at halftime, the tone for the rest of the game was set immediately when Jesse Flores muffed the opening kickoff and Gassett fell on it at the Idalou 22. Though the Wildcats got out of the jam thanks to a Ky Houchin interception, the Wildcats struggled to build any momentum the rest of the way.
Idalou rushed the ball 25 times for 140 yards, and Estes finished an erratic 8 for 19 for 201 yards and the three interceptions. Being behind in the second half kept Idalou from being able to run the football, trying desperately to get back into the game.
"It might have been that. I don't know," Long said. "It's just one of those things. It's hard to explain. It really is. We just didn't execute very well."
After the Lobos stopped the Wildcats on downs at the Cisco 37 late in the third quarter, they put together for the decisive drive. That one covered 63 yards in nine plays, all on the ground, capped by a 5-yard Reed run. The two-point conversion made it 21-7 five seconds into the fourth quarter.
Idalou's next three possessions ended in a punt and two interceptions. The Wildcats made it 27-14 with 3:14 left on a 4-yard Estes run but could get no closer. Estes fumbled on the Wildcats' final drive and the Lobos ran the clock out from there.
"They made our mistakes into points and that hurt us," Long said. "When you get to this level, people are good and you've got to be on top of your game every night. We weren't tonight and it cost us."

Background info: When I bought my Burley Canto, I spec'd out the shifters and rear derailleur because I was not enthusiastic about what Burley put on these models. So, I used SRAM X.9 grip shifters and a SRAM x.9 derailleur.
Recently after receiving some birthday money, I decided that I wanted some trigger shifters that SRAM makes for the X.9 family of components. So I ordered them from JensonUSA. I put them on myself. I had never done anything like that before then. I was quite happy with myself.
Anyway, I have used these now about a week and they are perfect. The shifts are precise and quick. Plus they are simple to twist even in a pouring rain (something I had trouble with with the twist kind). The shifters even came with cables installed and coated. The cables were long enough for even the rear derailleur. I cannot say enough how awesome these are. If you are looking for a good shifting upgrade, you should definitely consider these.

I'm definitely like a turtle, very slow moving.
Review by:
Valerie Constance
on Jan. 02, 2012 :
In "Pretty Eyes My Woman," a "so-called fairy tale" that is anything but, two girls, best friends, grow up together in the seedy under-belly world inevitably created from the poverty of single-mother households. We watch the plot unfold through the first person perspective of Ms. Davenport's main character Abigail. In the beginning, the reader senses Abigail is an unreliable narrator as we interpret her skewed view of the adults who are charged with her care, her mother and grandmother. We watch Abigail come of age, but still she is unreliable due to her naivete. This trait provides the reader with plenty of opportunities for constructing real meanings of which Abigail seems oblivious. A notable quality is Davenport's keen realistic eye for Detroit street life and the shenanigans of boys set out to do mischief against the heroine and generally. Her main characters' dialogues are realistic and engaging, her setting descriptions vivid, and her characters' description earthy. This is an intriguing tale that could benefit from some careful editing for focus. A few times I asked questions of the text that remained unanswered--like "What happened to Billie's baby?" Ms. Davenport's gift is her ability to invent dialogue that shapes our understanding of characters' quirky personalities in a manner that is incredibly convincing.

I ran across this but can't find any better pictures of the questionable strength of the removeable neck stem.
It's not a good folding design, but if it's really only 7 kilos it has great potential as a weight weenie suitcase travel bike. With the cheap components on it, I bet you could easily drop a kilo by ditching the rack and swapping the seat and seatpost. Drop 2 kilos if you swap everything out and have the money to dump into it. Now a 5 kilo bike is very enticing.
I'm poor, so who wants to be the guinea pig and buy this?

I am a patient of Dr Hahn, I could not ask for a better doctor. His caring, devotion and kindness is exceptional.
I have been extremely impressed with Dr. Hahn. Being diagnosed with cancer is obviously stressful but being under the care of such a outstanding expert and someone who is so genuinely caring, compassionate and patient makes the process much more bearable. Dr. Hahn is thorough in all his interactions. You're never felt rushed. He looks you in the eye and makes sure that you are clear with everything he is presenting. As has been mentioned he is very nice. I could not recommend a doctor more highly. I can't comment on ease of appointment.
Stephen Hahn is a rare treasure. Knowledgeable, top of his field, genius - and yet even more famous at the hospital for being just plain NICE. All that success has not gone to his head, indeed he is even able to learn from his patients. And he is a great role model and teacher for his residents. Stephen Hahn has served me well for over 10 years now and I absolutely recommend him. I can't tell you how easy it is to get an initial appointment, since I make mine a year in advance now, but one thing I will say: it's well worth any effort you may have to expend to get onto his schedule.

Israel Hayom:
Professor Afshin Ellian was born in Iran, was persecuted by the ayatollah regime and was granted asylum in the Netherlands • He then became a philosopher and harsh critic of Islam • He talks about Europe's weakness in the face of Islam and says that "without the State of Israel, the Iranian utopia is meaningless."
Dror Eydar
The problem isn't with Muslims, but fundamentalism. Iranian-born Professor Afshin Ellian.
Photo credit: Ziv Koren
Upon his arrival to Israel, Afshin Ellian was informed by Immigration that they would waive the stamping of his passport. He could not understand. "You were born in Iran," he was explained. "Despite holding a Dutch passport, you are also Iranian, and an Israeli entry stamp in your passport is a punishable offense in Iran." Ellian insisted. "No, please stamp my passport. It is an honor for me to be in Israel."
Dr. Afshin Ellian, a Dutch professor of law, philosopher, poet and sharp critic of Islam, was born in Iran in 1966. The Iranian Revolution broke out when he was thirteen, and three years later he became a fugitive, wanted by the Ayatollah regime for forbidden political activity. He fled to Pakistan and from there to Soviet-ruled Afghanistan. In 1989, Ellian received political asylum in the Netherlands and subsequently pursued a career in legal academia. He also writes columns for several newspapers in the Netherlands and abroad. Due to his consistent criticism of the Iranian regime and certain aspects of Islam, a death fatwa has been issued against him.

A friend of mine who's an associate department manager in our local psych facility wants me to come work with her (oh, the irony of a bipolar nurse working on a behavioral health unit!) and I could probably land the position in no time. But my heart is with my current position, and I actually want to stay there and see if I can't figure out a way to live with it. I've never stuck with the same job longer than 2 1/2 years, and I just passed that mark last week......so a fair amount of pride is riding on this.
But I won't let myself get to this point again. The episode scared the living daylights out of me, and I'm not eager to experience another. If I get even CLOSE to losing it again, I'm out of there. In the meantime, however, I'm going to keep my eyes---and my options---open!
1Apr 20, '13 by Liddle NoodnikQuote from VivaLasViejasNope you're not. (((Viva))) My turn, next week, althooo my ocean is miles apart from your ocean lolwhen it's over I am NOT going to wish I'd spent more time at work, thinking about work, or stressing about work.
Thanks, Doc.

I don't think it does exist in nursing. (Unless maybe one has some advanced degree/education/qualification.)

1Apr 24, '13 by judybsnI left a job once for panic attacks (related to menopause) and I've never looked back. I love my current job. No further panic attacks!
0Apr 25, '13 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideQuote from judybsnWell, I've been through that wonderful part of womanhood for a number of years (thank God!) so I can't even blame this on "the change". My doctor is recommending that I switch to a lower-stress job, although where that's to be found is anybody's guess. I'm going back next week, so we'll see if I really can continue or not; I don't suppose I can go through the rest of my career on anxiolytics, but for now I need them. I tried going without for a couple of days and started getting wound up even at home, so I'm not 100% back to normal yet, but it's either go back to work and be stressed about work, or stay at home and be stressed about not making any money.I left a job once for panic attacks (related to menopause) and I've never looked back. I love my current job. No further panic attacks!
1Apr 25, '13 by judybsnThe woman who runs our facility is on antianxiolytics all the time, even when she had a lower stress job. Anxiety is just something she lives with, but she does a fabulous job in spite of it.
0Apr 28, '13 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideQuote from judybsnI wish I were confident enough in my abilities to claim the same, but this episode has shaken me up pretty badly and I'm very much aware of my vulnerability now that all the cards will be on the table. My doctor wasn't sure that I should go back to work even now, 2 1/2 weeks later, but I told him that I'm more anxious about losing pay every day that I'm out, and since we switched to a stronger antianxiety med I figured I should be OK after the first day or so.The woman who runs our facility is on antianxiolytics all the time, even when she had a lower stress job. Anxiety is just something she lives with, but she does a fabulous job in spite of it.
So he wrote a work-release letter for me and outlined the accommodations he was recommending that I be given for my bipolar disorder and anxiety. Now those words are on paper in stark black and white, and now everyone from the business office manager to the top brass will know something really is wrong with me. That is not comforting. But at least there is documentation proving that I'm being treated and I'm doing what I can to get back to my usual level of functioning, so in the event that I'm termed I can at least draw unemployment benefits, to say nothing of calling on the ADA to back me up.
I'm just sorry to even have to think about these angles. It all sounds so cutthroat, and I'm not that way at all. If ANY of this were my fault, I'd just take whatever karma dishes out and slink off into the sunset; but I didn't ask to be given this challenge. All I wanted was to stay at this job until the end of my career and give 100% every day, even if all I had to give was 100% of 75%. Maybe I still can. And while I'm still nervous about going in on Monday, I'm actually looking forward to seeing my residents again and using the new systems put in place while I was away.
1Apr 28, '13 by Liddle NoodnikYou are making tremendous inroads for those of us with bipolar, and giving a lot of us hope and courage. Well, speakin for myself of course

Dom DeLuise, a pudgy actor whose manic grin and air of desperation added comic bounce to films like "The Twelve Chairs," "Blazing Saddles" and "The Cannonball Run," died Monday in Santa Monica, Calif.
Dom DeLuise, a pudgy actor whose manic grin and air of desperation added comic bounce to films like "The Twelve Chairs," "Blazing Saddles" and "The Cannonball Run," died Monday in Santa Monica, Calif. He was 75 and lived in Pacific Palisades.
His agent, Robert Malcolm, said Mr. DeLuise had diabetes and high blood pressure, but gave no cause of death.
Mr. DeLuise first made his mark on television in the early 1960s as Dominick the Great, an inept but determined magician for "The Garry Moore Show" and brought it to the CBS variety series "The Entertainers," where the ensemble cast included Bob Newhart and Carol Burnett, and "The Dean Martin Summer Show."
Before long, Mr. DeLuise was appearing in films, usually in broad comedies as a nervous sidekick, a schmo or a preposterous fraud.

He was a favorite of Mel Brooks, who cast him as the greedy Father Fyodor in "The Twelve Chairs" (1970), the abusive musical director Buddy Bizarre in "Blazing Saddles" (1974), the director's silly assistant in "Silent Movie" (1976), the Emperor Nero in "History of the World: Part I" (1981), the voice of Pizza the Hutt in "Spaceballs" (1987) and the Godfather-like Don Giovanni in "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" (1993).
Burt Reynolds, another fan, teamed up with Mr. DeLuise in several films, including "Smokey and the Bandit II" (1980), "The Cannonball Run" (1981) and "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" (1982).
Dominick DeLuise was born in Brooklyn and, after graduating from the High School for Performing Arts in Manhattan, attended Tufts University. He broke into show business in the late 1950s in parts like Tinker the Toymaker in the daytime television show "Tinker's Workshop."
After making his Broadway debut in 1963 in "The Student Gypsy," he appeared as a nervous flier in the Cold War thriller "Fail-Safe" (1964). This serious role was atypical. His chubby face and hysterical laugh made him a natural for comic roles, like the dimwitted spy in the Doris Day film "The Glass Bottom Boat" (1966). He attacked such roles over the ensuing decades with scene-stealing abandon.
Working with Reynolds and Brooks, Mr. DeLuise went on a tear in the '70s and early '80s. Gene Wilder cast him as a hammy opera star in "The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" (1975) and as the mad studio chief Adolf Zitz in "The World's Greatest Lover" (1977).
As his film career declined, Mr. DeLuise found a creative outlet in food. A talented amateur chef, he did cooking demonstrations on television and wrote several cookbooks, including, "Eat This … It'll Make You Feel Better!" (1988) and "Eat This Too!: It'll Also Make You Feel Better" (1997). He also wrote "Charlie the Caterpillar" and other books for children.
In 1965 he married the actress Carol Arthur, who survives him, as do their three children, Michael, Peter and David, and three grandchildren.

Cindy McCain, along with Alaska's "first dude" Todd Palin, was in King County Wednesday for a private $1,000-per-person fundraiser at a home in Hunts Point. McCain and Palin came to the right place: King County ranks fifth in the nation when it comes to counties giving the most to this year's presidential candidates.
Cindy McCain was in King County Wednesday for a private $1,000-per person fundraiser at a home in Hunts Point, along with Alaska's "first dude" Todd Palin.
McCain and Palin came to the right place — King County ranks fifth in the nation when it comes to counties giving the most to this year's presidential candidates. It trails only counties encompassing Manhattan, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C., in campaign contributions, according to an MSNBC.com analysis of federal election records.
About 250 people attended Wednesday's lunchtime event at the home of Barney Ebsworth, said Chris Fidler, co-chairman of the McCain campaign's steering committee in Washington state. Donors gave almost $1 million, Fidler said. "It was $850,000 at last count, and they were still counting," he said.
Because Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, is accepting public financing, he can no longer raise money directly for his campaign. Instead, his campaign raises money for various GOP committees that can benefit him.

But the McCain-Palin visit appears to be too little, too late for McCain's fundraising to match that of Sen. Barack Obama's in Washington state.
Obama, the Democratic Party's nominee, has clobbered McCain in collecting money here, receiving $9 million to McCain's $2.1 million from Washington residents through August, according to federal campaign records.
It's no surprise Obama is ahead of McCain in a state that's voted Democratic in the past five presidential contests.
McCain's maverick image was supposed to appeal to Washington Republicans and some independents. But he's raised less money in the Evergreen state than George W. Bush, who collected $3.2 million here in the 2004 election, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics reports.
Obama has even bested McCain by big margins in Republican-friendly areas such as Mercer Island and Bellevue. The only major metro area where McCain is competitive is Tacoma, where he trails Obama by $38,000.
In King County, Obama had raised $6.3 million to McCain's $956,000 through August.
McCain leads Obama in fundraising in just seven of Washington's 39 counties: Yakima, Grant, Franklin, Asotin, Lincoln, Adams and Garfield.
Microsoft employees are Obama's biggest donor in state. He's collected $377,235 from them to McCain's $42,255, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates hasn't contributed to a presidential candidate, nor has CEO Steve Ballmer. Paul Allen, Microsoft's other founder, contributed to primary contender Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, but hasn't sent money to McCain or Obama.
McCain and Todd Palin tried to make up ground at Wednesday's event, which lasted about 90 minutes. McCain spoke for about 15 minutes and Palin for about 10 minutes, Fidler said, before they "worked the crowd" one-on-one.
In her speech, Fidler said McCain "provided us with a wife's insight to the authenticity of John McCain's character and ability to lead the nation as president."
Palin drew applause when he said he had no idea his wife's involvement in the PTA years ago would lead to a vice-presidential candidacy, Fidler said.
Just after the event, Sen. McCain announced he was suspending campaigning to deal with the nation's financial crisis, and his wife headed back to Washington, D.C., according to McCain spokesman Rick Gorka.
As for McCain's fundraising disadvantage in Washington state, Gorka said "the pressure is on Obama because he has to continually raise record amounts every month to make up for not accepting public financing, which he originally said he would accept."
Fidler said McCain's fundraising would look much better compared to Obama's if contributions to Republican committees that collect money for all GOP federal candidates were considered.
Obama spokesman Josh Field said the Democratic candidate's edge in Washington is an example of broad support. "Nationally we have 2.5 million that have given to the campaign and 500,000 new contributors just in August. It shows how hungry Americans are for change," he said.

Baptist appreciates Vatican document
LOUISVILLE — Instead of taking offense at a recent Vatican statement reasserting the primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, evangelicals should seize the chance to respond with equal candor that "any church defined by the claims of the papacy is no true church," according to a prominent Southern Baptist leader.
The Rev. R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, wrote on his blog that he appreciated the document's clarity in voicing a key distinction between Catholics and Protestants over papal authority, differences he said are often forgotten "in this era of confusion and theological laxity."
This month, the Vatican released a document restating a 2000 document and the Second Vatican Council in saying that only Catholicism "has the fullness of the means of salvation" and other Christian bodies are therefore incomplete.
"We should together realize and admit that this is an issue worthy of division," Mr. Mohler wrote. "The Roman Catholic Church is willing to go so far as to assert that any church that denies the papacy is no true church.
Muslim scarves OK'd for license photos
CINCINNATI — Two Muslim women have the right to continue wearing their head scarves when sitting for a driver's license photo, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles said.
Clerks at separate bureau offices in southwest Ohio were wrong to insist that the women remove the scarves, also known as hijabs, which are expressions of faith and modesty, said Tom Hunter, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, which oversees the motor vehicles bureau. The women's photos were shot again for free.
"It was just a misunderstanding on the part of BMV employees as to what the policy was," Mr. Hunter said. "We want to be respectful to all people and all cultures."
People sitting for driver's license photographs can't wear head coverings, according to Ohio policy.
Missouri Synod re-elects leader
ST. LOUIS — The head of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, the Rev. Gerald Kieschnick, will serve a third term as president of the 2.5-million member church.
Mr. Kieschnick was re-elected at the church's convention in Houston. He received 644 votes, or 52 percent of the delegates' vote. The Rev. John Wohlrabe Jr. of Virginia Beach came in second with 42 percent of the vote.
The 64-year-old Mr. Kieschnick has been president of the St. Louis-based church since 2001. The Houston native is a graduate of Concordia Theological Seminary. He previously served 10 years as president of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod's Texas District and worked with the Lutheran Foundation of Texas.
Panel advises airport on decorations
SEATTLE — Decking the halls with boughs of holly is fine as long as it doesn't look like Christmas at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, an advisory panel has recommended.
The region's largest airport, scene of a furor over holiday displays last winter, should be decorated for the holidays again this year, but not with any religious symbols, the Port of Seattle's Holiday Decorations Advisory Committee decided.
"The use of light and color is especially appropriate in Seattle due to our dark winter travel season," but holiday decorations should "reflect the Pacific Northwest environment and our diverse community, and convey universal values, such as peace and harmony," the panel recommended.

May 25, 2016
New Orleans, LA (AP) - BP PLC has informed a federal judge that the
company is waiving a $75 million cap on its liability for certain
economic damage claims spawned by the massive Gulf oil spill.
A court filing Monday by BP lawyers says the company is waiving
the statutory limitation on liability under the 1990 Oil Pollution
Act even though it denies engaging in any gross negligence in
connection with the April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig
and resulting spill.
Last Friday, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier gave a BP lawyer a
week to state in writing whether the company will agree to waive
the cap. Plaintiffs lawyers had expressed concern that the company
was sending mixed signals on the cap.
Barbier is presiding over more than 300 consolidated lawsuits
over the rig blast and oil spill.

text: Bieber blamed injury for sobriety fail 18 Mar 2014 Justin Bieber blamed a hairline fracture in his foot for his unsteady sobriety test following a DUI arrest in Miami, Florida in January. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The Baby hitmaker was taken into custody after he was reportedly caught drag racing and he was subsequently charged with driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest without violence and driving with an expired driver's licence.Last month, 10 hours of surveillance footage featuring Bieber's time behind bars was released to the media, and in one clip the 20 year old appeared to be struggling to walk in a straight line.And now a Miami Beach police document, released on Tuesday, details his performance on various sobriety tests.It also documents Bieber's claims that he was nursing an injured foot following a skateboarding accident three months earlier, which left him unable to walk properly.The report reads: "He (Bieber) appeared to have great difficulty." The arresting officer also noted that the singer appeared to "sway and have leg tremors during one of the tests, and also winced as if in pain."The documents also detail Bieber's defensive attitude towards the cops while in custody, suggesting he was initially "agitated and condescending" and frequently used profanity.The report quotes Bieber as saying: "I'm 19 years old. I'm just out having a good time. What were you doing when you were 19?"The officer told the singer that he was not driving around in a Lamborghini at his age, to which Bieber responded: "Yeah, well, I bet you didn't have millions of dollars in your bank account either."The singer also mentioned that he took anti-anxiety medication whenever he feels "closed in".Results from drug tests taken by police suggested the presence of the active ingredient in marijuana and Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug, in Bieber's system at the time of his arrest. A Breathalyzer test detected traces of alcohol in his system, but it was below the 0.02 blood alcohol level allowed for drivers under the age of 21.Bieber will head back to Miami to face trial on 5 May. © UTV Share Share Share

Birthday Competitions: Winners Decided!Journal Entry: Wed Aug 8, 2012, 8:59 PM
The Winners:
Shikamaru's Birthday Contest:
First Place: :thumb328556119: by
Second Place:
Love SickLove Sickby
Shikamaru coughed violently and held his stomach tightly, in pain, hoping that he wouldn't lose the small bit of food he had managed to eat earlier. But try as he might, a disgusted feeling overtook him and her got up quickly and dashed to the bathroom as to not give the carpet a new, pukey pink, stain.
The young Nara held his head above the toilet and took deep, long breaths, begging that the feeling would be away. But it did not go away, it only became worse, and his body shook as he vomited the small amount of food in his stomach into the toilet. Shikamaru coughed and slowly sat down onto the cool floor below him. He groaned and leaned down slowly to rest his sweltering forehead against the cool tiles of the bathroom floor in an attempt to relieve his throbbing headache.
After resting for a few minutes, the Nara slowly sat himself up and dragged himself up from the floor with the help of the counter and the limited strength he had left. He then leaned over the sink slowly

Group's New Icon Contest:
Winner: by
I will be alerting all the prize givers to contact all the winners about their prizes ASAP. Thank you to all the participated and donated prizes, you all made this a great event~!
The Two Birthdays
I know HidaShika Week ended a few weeks ago, but two more big events are coming up that I wanted to bring to everyone's attention, and this is the perfect time for another event. HidaShikaGroup's first birthday is on August 26th, and that is a very big milestone for me, considering how small of a fan base this pairing has. Also another important birthday is coming up again on September 22, and that's Shikamaru's (in fact last his last birthday was this group's first contest ^^) So I thought I'd throw an event together, merging both events into one of sorts. All participants from both competitions will receive this exclusive badge that they are allowed to print out for personal use. No reselling or redistributing of this badge publicly online or otherwise (meaning do let other people have free access to his badge). This badge is also purchasable by anyone for 80 each. All points from purchase go back into the group as points to give out for prizes for future contests, as well as helping keep the group super.
Shikamaru's Birthday Contest
This theme is very easy and I'm leaving the interpretation up to all the participants. Simply draw or write an entry involving Shikamaru having his birthday celebrated. There is one condition to the theme, it must also have Hidan in it as well, but does not have to be limited to Shikamaru and Hidan, but I will not accept any other pairing than HidaShika. It can involve a surprise party, a planned party, gift giving, cake, or anything that involves the theme of birthdays.
1. You must be a member of this group to enter.
2. Must be 100% your art, and made specifically for this contest. That means, no manga or anime edits, no use of bases, and DEFINITELY no stealing of art that isn't yours! Entries can be digital, traditional, fanfics, or doujinshi/comics.
3. You may submit one entry per category...categories being fanart, fanfics, and doujinshi/comics. Submitting more entries increases your chances of winning, however, only one of your pieces may win a place.
4. All entries must be at least rated T, nothing mature. Meaning while there can be suggestiveness...no full on sex scenes here. I think you get the picture.
5. Please write in the artist's comments of your entry that your deviation is for this contest.
6. Submit your entries to the "Current Contests/Events" folder.
7. You have until the very end of September 22nd, meaning you have until 11:59pm Central Time to turn in your entry. I will not be extending the deadline, unless absolutely necessary.
8. Voting will take place by poll this time. The rule of no recruiting votes still stands (meaning you cannot ask ANYONE for votes), also entrants may vote, but to be fair, not for themselves.
First Place:
~ 3 month premium membership to dA, and a sculpty chibi head keychain charm of Shikamaru from
~ Fanfic from
~ One Shot Fanfic from
Second Place:
~ 1 month premium membership to dA from
~ Fanfic from
~ 1 chibi sketch of up to 3 characters from
~ One Shot Fanfic from
Third Place:
~ 300 from

(More prizes might be added, so if you want to donate a prize to this competition, please comment here with each prize you're willing to donate, and to which place winner.)
New Group Icon Contest:
To celebrate HidaShikaGroup's first birthday, which is on August 26th, I wanted to have a brand new group icon made that will be in use until the group's next birthday. I could have created an icon myself, but I wanted to let the members have a chance to participate and have their icon be the group's new icon.
1. You must be a member of the group to enter.
2. The size of the icon must adhere to dA's group icon allowances. Meaning the icon may only be 50 pixels in height, and 100 pixels in length. Also very important is that the icon be 30 kb or smaller. Any bigger in file size and dA will reject it.
3. Most important is that the icon have the words "HidaShikaGroup" on the icon, but having that alone will probably not win you this competition. You need to made it neat and interesting, so as to draw in more members. So I'd suggest also including Hidan and Shikamaru on the icon.
4. Unlike the last contest, you may use anime or manga images of Hidan and Shikamaru, or you can be really creative and make an icon from your own artwork (existing or new).
5. The icon can be stationary or animated. It can be images, art, or pixel art, but must adhere to the conditions above.
6. State in your artists comments that your icon is for our New Group Icon Contest, and give the group permission to use the icon should your entry win.
7. You can use your own artwork, official anime or manga images, and you can only use the artwork of others if you ask them for their permission and they know what their artwork is going to be used for.
8. Submit your icon entry to the "Current Contests/Events" folder.

ah i didnt win....but oh well it was a great contest!
I'm glad it was fun for you to participate in, we are currently doing our secret santa event if you want to sign up for it ^^
Heeeey, I came in second!
Yaaaay! This is great! ^___^
not bad for my first contest ever :3
Yaaaay! This is great! ^___^
not bad for my first contest ever :3
My contest submission is still waiting for approval. I just want to make sure I'm doing all of this right. I've never done this before, heh.
So I submitted it to the "Current contests and event entries" this is right, right?
So I submitted it to the "Current contests and event entries" this is right, right?
it's in there now, one of the admin must've approved it, you did everything correctly. Thanks for participating and good luck~
Thank you!
I've really been looking forward to this!
I've really been looking forward to this!
yes yes you did it right. just took one of use admins to get on and click the aprove button. dont worry. relax deeep breaths
Ha-ha, alright. I couldn't help getting a tad nervous there for a moment.
Thank you
Thank you
ok, just submit it to the group's correct folder please ^^
i don't think i'm going to make it in time...why did you have to fight me so! if not I'll have a couple new things to put up later. k headphones coffee snacks.. and now off the net to concentrate on trying to get this done.. must focus.. must focus.. must... oh look shinny object!
You've still got til the end of today, if you are able to try and get it done I'm rooting for you!
thanks i'll need all the rooting i can get.hands already starting to crap...its a conspiracy i swear
How many icons per person?
I wish I could enter. But I'm not good at drawind on my computer, and I don't know how to get my drawings from the page to the screen. Sorry!
Do you have a scanner? If you do, you can draw it on paper, and then you can scan it on to the computer. That's what I do^^ If you don't have one, see if you can borrow one somewhere. I use the public library's, but I don't know the one where you live (wherever that is) will have one. Maybe a friend's?
Do you have a scanner or camera?
not on my laptop, but a camera, yes.
Just get the best clear shot as you can of the picture on your camera and transfer it to your computer. If you have a photo-editing program, you can play around with the brightness and contrast to make the image have the right amount of light, if the camera takes pictures that are too light or too dark.
i changed my contest entry half way through it XD
heh, those sort of things are always fun, huh? I'm making a contest entry for another contest, and I keep seeing things I don't like about it or could make better so I keep messing with it
7. Again no use of other's artwork, it can only be yours or image from the anime or manga.
If I use another person's work in the group icon, and if I get the artist's permission to insert his work, is it okay ?
If I use another person's work in the group icon, and if I get the artist's permission to insert his work, is it okay ?
I could enter the icon competition, if I have time.
I can't draw. Eek! I'm going to attempt to anyway Wish me luckkkkk =}
Need all the luck I can get x3
Thank youuuu
Thank youuuu
It doesn't hurt to try and you get access to the exclusive group badge for participating ^^
goood luck! ^.^

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D 3ds max and STL http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=43869&th=8236#msg_43869 <![CDATA[Hello,

 I have some difficulties editing STL files with 3ds max. I've made several parts of a human figure and saved them seperately as a STL with one shell. I tried to join the several files on a framework by importing them in one project in 3ds max and performing boolean operations.
 But after the boolean process and exporting the combined file as an STL, it was suddenly not manifold anymore and shows many shells.
 I tried to find out what went wrong and I imported a healthy STL made of one shell in 3ds max. Without changing anything I exported it again as STL and opened the file in Netfabb. The file contained many holes and shells (See attached files).
 I can only conclude that 3ds max does something to STL files, which makes them unstable. Is there a way to edit STL in 3ds max without being confronted to these problems? And if not, are there programs which do not have these problems?

 Greetings,

 Bas Ooink]]> BasOoink 2012-02-12T13:40:06-00:00 Re: 3ds max and STL http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=43874&th=8236#msg_43874 <![CDATA[why are you doing this?

 shapeways can print stl files with multiple shells just fine. that is assuming that each shell is water tight.

 assuming that you still want to Boolean these parts in MAX i would suggest 100% that the parts are water tight... no flipped normals, and no missing polys, then and only then would i boolean them together...

 i would suggest, as many who have seen my rants before know, that you download BLENDER and boolean the parts in there. i can walk you through that process if you like.

 chris]]> christopherlowe 2012-02-12T15:17:27-00:00 Re: 3ds max and STL http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=43876&th=8236#msg_43876 <![CDATA[I know that shapeways has no difficulty printing multiple shells. I've created the framework with the several parts of the human figure before, consisting of multiple shells. I sent it to Shapeways and a few weeks later received a perfect print.

 But for my meanings the resolution of the FUD print was not enough. I try to create a mother model for a 1/35 model kit, which I want to duplicate with silicone molds. The details are to small to sand or polish the print.
 Therefore I searched for an alternative printing method, which would live up to my demands.
 So I sent my model (which I also sent to shapeways) to a company which prints models with the envisiontec ultra. They stated that they could do nothing with the model because it had several deviations and contained multiple shells, and the envisiontec could not print multiple shells.

 So that's the reason why I try to convert the model of the framework with several parts of the figure into a STL which consits of one shell.

 Before importing the parts into 3ds max I checked them with netfabb cloud and minimagics, to be absolutely sure that the files I imported would be OK. Does this also mean that they are watertight, with no flipped normals and without missing polygons? If so, I still have no idea why 3ds max is giving me a hard time.

 Following your suggestion, I've downloaded blender. I have to say, the lay-out is, to say at least, confusing. Especially when you are used to an interface of 3ds max. I appreciate your offer to walk me through the boolean process. ]]> BasOoink 2012-02-12T15:55:17-00:00 Re: 3ds max and STL http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=43879&th=8236#msg_43879 <![CDATA[i have heard that there is machines that could do incredible detail. at what price though...

 blender can be a little daunting but very rewarding. there are some similarities to MAX that you can utilize and make good with.

 i have used MAX as well as many other programs and i have to say that there are quirks to all of them. i have not used the latest version of MAX though and i have heard that there was some real work done to the boolean code to make it more reliable...

 i am not sure but there might be a simple explanation in MAX to why things are not working... it might be easy to fix...

 in MAX, after the boolean operation, convert to editable mesh.
 in point modify mode hit ctrl-A to select all points. then in the merge tool put it down to 0.00 and merge... this will merge all points that are directly on top of each other.

 see if that works. if you are still interested in Blender i would suggest that you dl the newest release candidate and have a go at it...the newest RC came out on Thursday.

 chris ]]> christopherlowe 2012-02-12T16:24:31-00:00 Re: 3ds max and STL http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=43880&th=8236#msg_43880 <![CDATA[If you open the model in Netfabb and the zoom into the bottom of the model, you will see this:

 Make special note of the triangle(s) I've circled in blue. Netfabb hilighted them in red, because it thinks there is a problem there. These triangles are at best 'odd'. For one thing, they're very, very small, and they don't contribute to the overall topology your'e trying to achieve. I would consider removing them. The difficulty is that you've got the same sort of 'oddity' at other points around your model.

 Let me try to explain by an example:

 I took a regular cube, and welded a pyramid onto the top of it. Then, I took the pyramid and rotated it such that the top point of the pyramid is inside of the cube. This mesh is "solid", "watertight", "2-manfold", and several other things, but.. it's still not "right". Note in particular that the blue face is now contained completely within the body of the object.

 If you work with this model in both Netfabb and Meshlab, they'll report that blue face as "intersecting faces". I have yet to find a good way to deal with those. It's likely that MAX is trying to "fix" them by throwing them out as separate shells.. I know that Truespace does the same kind of thing. It'll make a mess out of the (hidden) blue face.

 One thing I've noted.. this seems to happen more if the area of the offending triangle is very small.

 Here is one possible fix for your model:
 -Open the STL in Netfabb
 -Select Repair
 -Select the main shell of the model
 -Remove selected triangles

 At this point, observe that the remaining shells don't truly contribute anything to the overall geometry of the model, and can likely be discarded.

 -Abort the Repair... (bringing back the main shell)
 -Select Repair again
 -Select the main shell of the model
 -Select "Extract selected triangles as part"
 -Export this new part, ignoring the original model

 This removes all those little tiny shells that weren't really contributing anything useful, but you may still have to deal with 'odd' triangles as I discussed above.

 Note: if someone's got a good way for dealing with intersecting faces, I'd love to hear it.

Recurring Role
Brain: My newest plan involves the lowest, simplest, most elemental unit of life.
Pinky: Egad, Brain. Paulie Shore?
Brain: A valid guess, but no.
(Brain knocks Pinky down)
Pinky: Careful, Brain, you know I'm still recovering from a pulled muscle.
Brain: The one in your head?
Pinky: Exactly. It was last week when I had that idea. Now what was it? Ow! I did it again.
Brain: Behold, Pinky. A cell from a tissue sample I took from a mysterious and secret location.
Pinky:(looking at a bandage under Brain's tail) Found it!
(Brain is looking at a computer readout to see what went wrong with his clone) Brain: "Unknown contamination"? "D.N.A strands merged"? (Brain types a command into the computer) Brain: Search for contamination. (An image of a toenail appears on the screen) Brain: What in the name of all that is good and sweet in Odin's beard is that? (Brain types another command into the computer) Brain: Reconstruct! (The toenail disappears and is replaced with an image of Pinky) Brain: Be afraid, be very afraid. (Brain looks at his clone, who sprouts buck teeth like Pinky) Brain: PINKY! (Brain drags Pinky over to the computer by his ear) Brain: Look! (Pointing at the image) One of your errant nail clippings befouled my tissue sample! My clone is a product of our merged D.N.A. Do you realize what this means?! Pinky: I'm a mommy! Brain: Pinky that's absurd. Your nothing of the kind. It's chromosomal make-up just happens to include both of our genetic building bloc...(Realizes what he's saying) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh my lord, you are its mommy!
This cartoon was first aired as part of episode 23. The gag credit for this episode is: Barophobia - Fear of gravity.
Pinky and the Brain's clone Roman Numeral One (Romy) is voiced by Maurice LaMarche when he is a baby and then voiced by Rob Paulsen when he is older.
The Fly:
Brain discovering his DNA sample had been merged with Pinky's during Roman's creation parodies Seth Brundle discovering he had been fused with a fly when he teleported himself. Even the same line from the movie is used "Be afraid. Be very afraid".
Brain: I Have No Clone!
This is a twist on the phrase "I Have No Son".
Romy: ...that's why we're taking a year off to follow the Grateful Dead.
Brain: (to Pinky) Do you want to tell him or shall I?
The Grateful Dead were a rock band started in the 1960s whose hits included "Truckin'" and "Uncle John's Band." They were known for their extended jam sessions and loyal fanbase, some of whom followed the band on tour, attending all the shows.
What Brain was debating telling Romy was that, this being 1997, the Grateful Dead didn't exist anymore; the band dissolved in 1995 after the death of guitarist Jerry Garcia, although the surviving members of the band went on to form The Other Ones (who were later simply known as The Dead) in 1998.
Pinky: Oh...this is so "Savannah."
Savannah was a prime time drama that aired on the WB around the same time as Pinky and the Brain.
Romy: Well well, look who's here. My two dads. Saget and Coulier.
Pinky: Oh, pleeease tell me he's Saget.
A double reference to two separate 80s/90s sitcoms.
My Two Dads was a series about two best friends who split up over dating the same woman, only to both be appointed legal guardians of the woman's daughter after her untimely passing twelve years later.
The "Saget and Coulier" line is a reference to Full House, starring Bob Saget as a widower who raises his three daughters with the help of his standup comic best friend (played by Dave Coulier) and his musician brother-in-law (played by John Stamos).
Romy: Hey, Don McLean...the levy is dry.
A reference to musician Don McLean and his song "American Pie," specifically the line "Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry."
The two bikers hitting each other with pool cues are named "Herb" and "Peaches." This is a reference to the musical duo of Peaches & Herb, whose hits included "Shake Your Groove Thing" and "Reunited."

The 10 Best Android Phones
Apple may have kickstarted the smartphone revolution when it launched its very first iPhone back in 2007, but it was Google's Android operating system that truly took it mainstream.
With an open platform and multiple manufacturers using the operating system, Android was always destined for greatness. Today, Android is easily the biggest mobile OS in Australia.
With only a couple of exceptions (thanks Nokia), all the companies that were making mobile phones before iOS was launched now run Android.
Samsung, Sony, LG, HTC and Motorola all wave the Android flag proudly on their devices. What's more, more and more companies are joining them, with the likes of Oppo, Huawei and Acer bringing Android smartphones to market at a wide range of price points.
Even Google itself has joined the fray, partnering with manufacturers to release flagship Nexus devices.
Still, the many variations in screen size, processing power, software features and design makes finding the best Android phone for you extremely tough.
To help find the best Android phone for you, we've rounded up the best Android handsets out there today, rating the phones on hardware performance, OS upgrade potential and, of course, how shiny and nice they are to have and boast about to work colleagues.
So here they are - the best Android phones money can buy today. For many, many different reasons.
10. OnePlus 2
10. OnePlus 2
Delivering a phone that feels more premium and has a sturdier build, OnePlus has upped its game with this second generation handset.
With a 5.5-inch display that matches the iPhone 6 Plus for pixel density – 401 ppi – the OnePlus' panel offers excellent viewing angles, although it can look washed out in direct sunlight.
The surprise inclusion of a functional fingerprint scanner is a welcome addition, and one that brings the OnePlus 2 into line with Samsung and Apple's handsets, adding to the phone's premium feel.
It's not without its flaws, and getting one in Australia may take a bit of hunting around, but when you consider that the OnePlus 2 costs a fraction of price of certain flagship phones, you may be willing to make some compromises.
9. Sony Xperia Z5 Compact
9. Sony Xperia Z5 Compact
Sony is one of few companies still making compact flagships, and the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact shows that it's still well worth doing.
Essentially the Xperia Z5 Compact is the Sony Xperia Z5 in miniature, with the same great 23MP camera, the same speedy fingerprint scanner, the same level of water resistance and almost as much power.
The screen is a little lower resolution, but at 4.6 inches it can get away with it and if anything the battery life is even better. Small Android phones don't come better than this and the Z5 Compact even gives the similarly small iPhone 6S a run for its money.

8. Samsung Galaxy Note 5
8. Samsung Galaxy Note 5
Samsung's Note family of phablets proved there was a market for the hybrid phone and tablet. With its large screen and powerful processor coupled with incredible battery life, the Note shook up the industry.
Now in its fifth iteration, the Galaxy Note 5 looks and feels like the premium phone it is. With a slick glass back and a stunning 5.7-inch screen that excels in almost all conditions, including bright sunlight, the Note 5 is a powerful tool.
The included S-Pen offers a versatile approach to data input, and creativity, and even though Samsung did sacrifice the microSD slot and removable battery to create the Note 5's design, the product doesn't suffer too much for those sacrifices.
It's an unwritten law that leather makes any product more desirable, and so it is with the LG G4. Combining a leather back and a curved body, the G4 is immediately recognisable in a sea of similar glass and aluminium devices.
The specs match the aesthetic design too, with the G4's 5.5-inch QHD IPS display offering some of the most vibrant images we've ever seen on a smartphone.
The impressive camera delivers great shots thanks to the inclusion of some manual options, and the spec sheet it right up there at the top of the pile for premium handsets.
The rear volume buttons may not be for everybody though, and the battery life isn't quite up to the competition. But this is still a fantastic device for anyone wanting something a bit different.
6. Sony Xperia Z5
6. Sony Xperia Z5
Chances are you can't afford James Bond's latest custom-made Aston Martin, but if you're desperate to get in touch with your inner super spy you can probably afford to pick up his smartphone.
Sony's flagship phones have always been the standard bearers for incremental upgrades, but the Xperia Z5 takes the biggest leap in years. That's not to say this a mind-blowing reimagining of the Sony smartphone experience, but its thinner, lighter chassis and frosted glass back are very handsome indeed.
The fingerprint sensor is a welcome, if long overdue, addition, and positioning on the side of the handset makes so much sense that we were left wondering why nobody had put it there before.
It has a habit of overheating and the UI is in need of an upgrade, but that doesn't prevent the Xperia Z5 from being the best smartphone Sony has ever made.
5. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
5. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
If money is no object then the Galaxy S6 Edge arguably has the standard S6 beat, as it offers the same compelling specs with the addition of an eye-catching curved display. But for most people money is an object and the S6 Edge is both more expensive and not much better in use, as the curves are more about form than function.
Still, its 5.1-inch QHD screen is glorious, its 16MP camera impresses and it's got a powerful octa-core processor and all the nifty features of the S6, like a fingerprint scanner and fast charging.
The curved screen feels like a missed opportunity but it's undeniably stylish and if you can stomach the price tag this is a powerful, futuristic phone which is sure to inspire admiration and jealousy in everyone who sees it.
4. HTC One M9
4. HTC One M9
For all the work Samsung's done on improving the design of its flagship HTC still has it beat. The One M9 is easily the best looking Android phone around and arguably the best looking handset running any OS.
Not only does it look incredible but it's got lots of power and a decent 20.7MP camera on the back, with its UltraPixel snapper relegated to selfie duties. Plus its slick Sense interface and impressive BoomSound audio make it a joy to use.
The HTC One M9 isn't a big upgrade over the One M8, but that phone was our favourite for a long time so any improvements guaranteed this a place near the top of our chart. Compared to the Galaxy S6 this feels lacking in specs and features, but it's as close to a work of art as a phone has come.
3. Nexus 6P
3. Nexus 6P
For the first time, Chinese manufacturer Huawei worked with Google to produce the flagship Nexus 6P, and the results are truly impressive.
It's still not a device designed for small hands, although with slightly smaller dimensions than the previous Nexus 6 device, it is a bit more comfortable to hold.
With a lightning-fast fingerprint scanner conveniently located on the back of the device, you'll have your Nexus unlocked before it's out of your pocket. The inbuilt 12.3MP camera is incredible in low-light situations and the phone's inbuilt speakers are surprisingly powerful.
Destined to always be running the most recent version of Android, the battery life and performance is best in class for Android devices.
It may be more expensive than previous Nexus handsets, but the 6P still stands out as incredible value for money.
2. Samsung Galaxy S7
2. Samsung Galaxy S7
Second place goes to the Samsung Galaxy S7. The Galaxy S6 was our favorite Android phone of 2015, but now the Galaxy S7 has improved on it in almost every way.
There's a brand new waterproof design with a variety of little changes that make it much more comfortable to hold.
It doesn't look as innovative as the Galaxy S7 Edge with its curved display, but this version is much more compact than the Galaxy S6 Edge+.
The issues come in the high price and the fact there's only one storage version. But you can always buy a microSD card, up to 200GB, and get a bit of extra room.
If you're looking for one of the best, high-end phones in the world right now - this Android is a great choice.

1. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
1. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
It has finally happened - the Edge version of a Samsung phone is now actually the best Android phone in the world.
Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge expands on what the curved display from the Galaxy S6 Edge can do. It has found a happy medium at the 5.5-inch size as well as adding in a lot of new functionality for the most innovative screen tech in phones.
The camera may look like it has dropped when you see it on the spec sheet - but in fact bringing it down to 12MP and updating the sensor technology has meant this is one of the best phone cameras out there.
All in all, the Galaxy S7 Edge is an improvement on everything that went before it. Finally, Samsung has nailed the most interesting version of its phone and made the Galaxy S7 Edge the reigning champion of the phone game.

Answered: Addition of second listener causes the first to stop working
I am currently setting up my first app using the MVC architecture. I have a set of panels for navigation that when you expand or collapse them the corresponding view is shown. I am using a Viewport with the navigation panels positioned in the west region and the views already hidden in the center region. I simply call a hide or show to achieve the functionality I want. Inside of the control method for the controller I have set up two listeners that reference the title attribute of the two panels. Using the expand and collapse panel events I call the hide or show. When I add the second listener for the second panel and run the app then the first panel will no longer show or hide its view anymore. I've attempted to give ids to these panels from the view and then reference them in the controller, but the behavior is the same. With the title attribute being unique I thought it would fire off the correct set of functions.
Can someone shed some light on why the first listener has quit firing?

Your problem is not at events. They work well. The problem is at refs definition. Try to fix it as below:
refs: [{ ref: 'req', selector: 'prrequisition', },{ // <- You missed this and this cause problem. ref: 'inv', selector: 'prgrid' }],

Works like a charm
Thanks vietits. That fixed my problem. The app works exactly the way I need it to now. I just had been looking at the code so long I couldn't see what was right in front of my face. I have the new book by Loiane Groner, but her example in the MVC chapter only shows one ref. I've gone back and looked at the syntax on the feed viewer example in the sdk and there it is. I will have to remember the curly braces when dealing with arrays.
Thanks again.

I have a similar problem, but this example now seems to be deprecat
I have a panel with several sliders and lists and a lot of interaction. Its controller has a refs section built in this way
refs : {
symptomList : '#symptomList',
classifierList : '#classifierList',
intensity: '#sldIntensity',
occur: '#sldOccur',
All the events seem to work fine the first time around, but when I pop the panel from its navigation view and later rebuild and push it back onto the navigation view, none of the events fire. Looking at the DOM, the objects whose ids are referred to in refs, are present and visible. I tried the syntax suggested in this thread, but now none of the events fire even the first time, and I get a deprecated warning in the log.
refs : [{ref: 'symptomList', selector : '#symptomList'},
{ref: 'classifierList' , selector : '#classifierList'},
{ref: 'store' , selector : '#symtomstore'},
{ref: 'intensity' , selector : '#sldIntensity'},
{ref: 'occur' , selector : '#sldOccur'},
Do I need to remove the events somehow before popping the panel so they don't get duplicated?

Thoughts on the `Repacked' Neolithic Revolution. (Research)
Thomas, Julian, Antiquity
In recent years a number of publications have made a case for the reinstatement of a view of the British Neolithic in which an integrated `package' of cultural innovations and economic practices was introduced abruptly from continental Europe (Richards and Hedges 1999; Schulting 2000). In its original form, this perspective presented the Neolithic as essentially composed of a subsistence economy, which was transported from the Near East to Britain in only marginally modified form (e.g. Cole 1965). This economy then provided a productive base, which allowed the development of ceramics, field monuments, and social hierarchies (Case 1969; Legge 1989). It follows that these cultural changes were epiphenomenal, and Neolithic subsistence practice relatively homogeneous. It may be that these revisionist arguments do not require us entirely to return to such a position. None the less, their claims deserve a degree of critical evaluation, given the criticisms that have been raised against the notion of a homogeneous Neolithic package over the past two decades (e.g. Pluciennik 1998).
Addressing the re-dating of a number of Neolithic sites which had hitherto appeared uncharacteristically early, Rick Schulting (2000) points to the increasingly sharp interface that is being drawn between the Mesolithic and Neolithic in Britain. Schulting calls on new evidence which implies that microlithic technologies survived into the later Mesolithic, and yet notes that there are no known examples of microliths and pottery occurring together (ibid.: 32). On this basis, he suggests that there was little overlap between Mesolithic and Neolithic ways of life in southern Britain. Moreover, he implies that there was little regional variation in the date of the inception of the Neolithic throughout the country. Schulting concludes that
calls for the unpacking of the Neolithic `package' and the need to consider its constituents independently .... may be premature. Rather, it may be reiterated that the people of the earliest Neolithic in Britain built monuments for their dead, used novel technologies such as pottery .... and appear to have subsisted primarily on domesticated resources. This suggests that the adoption of `Neolithic' traits was for the most part an all-or-nothing affair in Britain (2000: 32-3).
These themes of the swiftness of the transition to the Neolithic and the significance of domesticated resources are also addressed by Michael Richards and Robert Hedges, in their study of stable isotope measurements from early Neolithic human bones, used as an indicator of diet (1999). Richards and Hedges argue that while they have little direct evidence for later Mesolithic diet in southern Britain, the existence of shell middens attributable to this period suggest that marine foods would have made a substantial contribution to nutrition, at least in coastal areas. They go on to assert that
if [[delta].sup.13] analysis of Neolithic human bones indicates there is a lack of marine foods, then we can infer that there was a fairly rapid change in diet as marine foods were replaced by terrestrial foods, most likely the new domesticates that appear at this time (Richards and Hedges 1999: 892, emphasis mine).
And indeed, on the basis of analyses conducted on 78 human skeletons, it appears that no human skeleton dated to after 5400 BP shows any evidence that marine protein contributed to diet, as the relevant [[delta].sup.13] values are all close to -20 [per thousand]. Richards and Hedges contend that this pattern could be explained either by the replacement of one human population by another (presumably continental) one, or by a very rapid change of diet on the part of an indigenous population. However, a gradual change of diet, associated with a slow or piecemeal adoption of agriculture, is effectively ruled out (Richards and Hedges 1999: 894). …
