Being an online manager consists of being a leader, manager, marketing person, psychologist, mediator, etc. Yep, the role calls for many commitment and responsibilities. It's a good thing TBBT exists to help us address online community issues, which could also be applied to our personal lives.

Thanks, Bret! It's extremely well written, and one of my favorites. And thanks for pointing out Leonard's lack of communication skills when it comes to his mother! You're absolutely correct. He may not enjoy talking to her, but he manages to squeak by...sometimes with the help of Sheldon (surprisingly), who seems to connect with her more. All that aside, though, we could all stand to be a bit more like Leonard! :)
Jul 23 Posted 4 years ago
Thanks so much for the comment, and for reading my article! I know I wouldn't be able to live with Sheldon, so Leonard is almost a saint in that regard. From what I understand of the show, many-a-roommate abandoned Sheldon due to difficulties, so the fact that Leonard is able to manage him really says something. Sometimes, you need the right community manager to take care of a particularly stubborn customer (or friend)!
Jul 23 Posted 4 years ago
Thanks, Amy! I love companies with a sense of humor, but like I said, there's a time and a place for everything. Jokes aren't really welcome in a crisis situation! Leonard is a pro at adapting his conversations to each of his friends. He's not perfect, of course (in fact, sometimes he gets on my nerves), but he's a good friend and his end result is positive more often than not. I'd say that's a good role model! :)

I've only seen TBBT a few times, but I found it to be a very clever and well written TV show.
Only if I could convince my wife to watch the TV show... If I did, I'd watch it a lot more often than what I currently do now.
Anyway, it only takes ONE episode for anyone to recognize what a trooper Leonard is. You're indeed correct. He is the shinning example of what/how a community manager should operate.
Just don't go to him for parental advice. If I'm not mistaken, Leonard and his mom don't talk. They talk through Sheldon. Then again, your mom and dad shouldn't be talking to you on your corporate Twitter of Facebook accounts anyway! :)
Jul 17 Posted 4 years ago
The fact that Leonard has been able to live with Sheldon for so long speaks volumes about his managing skills. Sheldon is, as you said, is an upset client, and Leonard has been taking the high road for years. The fact that he continues to be best friends with Sheldon and has grown his friend community means he's a great example for one's own community management.
Thanks for the great post and takeaways!
Jul 17 Posted 4 years ago
As a fan of 'TBBT', you did an excellent job on this blog, Jill! Leonard is such a great example of how community managers should be and you hit every point perfectly. My favorite point from your post is, "Tailor your response to the issue at hand." It's great to have a sense of humor, but there's a time and place for it. If I had an issue with a company the last thing I'd want is for them to be cracking jokes and making my issue seem minor and insignificant on their list of things to do that day. Respect your customers and you'll see them coming back to work with your company again and again!
Great post, Jill! I really want to go home and watch the entire season on my DVR, haha!

J70 Traveler System
The traveler system on the J70 uses a high beam 22mm traveler track. The traveler line runs through 2 fixed 29mm carbo blocks and terminates through a micro cam cleat with fairlead. This creates a simple 2:1 purchase for the driver. We recommend using a light 5mm continuous line such as FSE Dinghy Control to make breaking the leeward cleat easier.
Class Description
J70: Fast and Fun Sailing for Everyone
The J70 introduces a new dimension of fun, fast sailing in a stable, easy to own boat. The J70's 22-foot long waterline with high aspect, all carbon rig and deep, lifting bulb keel provides spirited performance and good stability. The J70 is designed to fulfill the needs of a diverse range of sailors—from performance one-design and club racers, to sailing families. The large cockpit comfortably holds three adults or four mixed crew, and the vertical lifting keel makes trailering and launching the J70 a snap.
Knifing through the water upwind with confidence and ease, the J70 has that legendary "J" feel - light, controllable with a wide-groove to sail consistently fast. With an adjustable cascading backstay, one has total control over sail shape and dynamic rig tension across the full range of conditions, making it easy to change gears on the J70.
Since its launch in 2012, the popularity of the J70 has soared, with growing fleets and regatta action worldwide. Superbly built by CCF Composites, Bristol, R. I., the J70 was named 2013 Boat of the Year by Sailing World Magazine.
At Mauri Pro we have a range of parts, running rigging, sailing gear, and accessories that will help keep your J70 in top racing condition.

Read the full text of President Bush's remarks this morning on the In Depth blog.
Officials are considering temporarily guaranteeing all U.S. bank deposits and billions of dollars of bank debt, in addition to possibly buying stakes in individual banks, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Officials are reviewing a British proposal that includes repayment guarantees for certain types of loans, The New York Times reports.
Neel T. Kashkari, who's in charge of the bailout, has just six years of experience in finance and government, The New York Times reports.
Update, 4:15 p.m.:Wall Street capped its worst week ever with a wild session Friday that left stocks with a widely mixed finish. Late-day buying helped curb steep losses and gave the market its best showing of the week as investors snapped up bargains among stocks devastated by seven days of massive losses.
The Nasdaq composite index finished with a modest gain, while the Dow Jones industrials lost 128 points, a relatively mild drop after the blue chips fell 2,271 during the previous eight trading days. Still, the Dow, which traded in a range of 1,019 points Friday, had its worst week ever, as did the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
The hair-trigger mentality of the market was evident from the opening bell. The Dow fell 696 points in the first 15 minutes, recovered to an advance of more than 100 before the first hour was over, then turned sharply lower again before moving in swings of hundreds of points at the day's end.
Investors have spent much of the past month agonizing over a credit market that remains frozen, posing a threat to the economy. But Friday's gainers included financial stocks, the ones most decimated amid the ongoing banking and credit crisis.
Read the New York Times story about the wild day on Wall Street.
Update, 3:15 p.m.: John McCain and Barack Obama outlined steps to counter the faltering economy and plummeting stock market on Friday, fresh evidence of the dominant role of pocketbook issues in their race for the White House. More.
Update, 3 p.m.: Wall Street extended its devastating decline as investors, still seeing no resolution to the credit crisis, sold frantically and propelled the Dow Jones industrials to their eighth straight day of losses and worst week ever. Stocks gyrated in the opening minutes as a burst of buying in financial stocks spread to other sectors, but all the major indexes were down more than 5 percent by midafternoon. More.
Update, noon: Stock prices careened lower today in Asia and Europe and gyrated wildly in the United States, extending a stampede of selling that began on Wall Street a day earlier and deepening a global financial crisis that has defied all efforts to stop it.
This week's coordinated interest rate cuts by the world's central banks to thaw frozen credit markets and boost investor confidence have fallen flat as markets remain gripped by fears about the scale and depth of the likely global recession.
Stock prices were swinging sharply on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrials fell nearly 700 points soon after trading began, regained all of that deficit temporarily -- then slid to a loss of more than 300 points shortly after Bush's remarks.
Bush went to the Rose Garden of the White House this morning to reassure Americans that the government is doing all it can to cope with the problem. He acknowledged mounting worry among people about their retirement and investment accounts.
Bush said the United States is working "closely with our partners from around the world" to steady the stressed financial markets. He also said that "we're in this together and we'll come through this together."
Update, 9:45 a.m.: The devastating selling continues on Wall Street, with investors again dumping stocks in early trading. The Dow Jones industrials, already down 2,271 points in seven sessions, are down more than 300 after dropping as much as 696.
The major indexes are fluctuating sharply as some computer-driven "buy" orders kick in, but investors are selling heavily as markets around the world panic because credit markets remain frozen and pose a threat to the global economy.
The Dow is off 317 at the 8,261 level. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is down more than 4 percent, and the Nasdaq composite is down nearly 3 percent.
Update, 9:36 a.m.: Six minutes after opening, the Dow has fallen more than 600 points.
Update, 8 a.m.:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Wall Street appeared headed to a sharply lower open today, extending a global sell-off on concerns that even low interest rates won't help end the worsening credit crisis. Dow Jones industrials futures plunged 185 points ahead of the opening bell in New York.
Frozen credit markets and a loss of confidence in the world's financial system have caused the Dow to drop 21 percent in just 10 trading days. The blue chip index plunged 678 points Thursday, and is heading to its worst weekly point drop, and one of its biggest weekly percentage drops, since being created 112 years ago.
Going into today's session, losses for the year add up to a staggering $8.3 trillion, according to preliminary figures measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, which tracks 5,000 U.S.-based companies representing almost all stocks traded in the U.S.
LONDON (AP) -- European stock markets slumped in early trading today following massive sell-offs on Wall Street and Asia as lending rates between banks continue to rise despite this week's efforts by central banks to break the logjam in credit markets.
At mid-morning London time, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was down 233.84, or 5.4 percent, at 4,079.96, having fallen below the 4,000 mark earlier for the first time in five years. Germany's DAX was 383.70, or 7.9 percent, at 4,503.30, and France's CAC-40 was 209.67, or 6.1 percent lower at 3,233.03.
In Vienna, the stock exchange has been suspended until midday after stocks tumbled 10 percent at the opening bell, and in Russia representatives of the MICEX and RTS exchanges said they suspended regular trading until further notice under orders from financial regulators.
This week's coordinated interest rate cuts by the world's central banks to thaw frozen credit markets and boost investor confidence have fallen flat as markets remain gripped by fears about the scale and depth of the likely global recession.
"Overall it's the fact that despite the huge fire-fighting efforts of central banks worldwide we still haven't seen any thawing of interbank lending that is going to be causing the most concern now," said Matt Buckland, a dealer at CMC Markets in London.
The latest woes in Europe came after the Dow Jones index in the U.S. closed 678.91 or, 7.3 percent lower, at 8,579.19, its first close below 9,000 in five years. The slide on the Dow was partly fueled by the decision of credit-rating agency Standard & Poor's to review its rating on General Motors Corp.
The Dow's seven-day decline of 20.9 percent is the largest since the seven-day plunge ending Oct. 26, 1987, when the Dow lost 23.8 percent. That sell-off included Black Monday, the Oct. 19, 1987 market crash that saw the Dow fall nearly 23 percent in a single day.

Much like Thursday's win over Oklahoma State, Oregon pushed a halftime lead to double digits and never relented the margin in a 74-57 victory over Saint Louis. The script for accomplishing it was identical, find the hot shooting Damyean Dotson, lock-down on shooters and own the boards.
Dotson scored a career-best 23 points, 14 in the second half and converted 5-of-6 three point shots. The freshman from Texas has missed just 14 attempts from deep in the past five games, making 16.
"We didn't get him off the shot spots like we wanted to," said Saint Louis coach Jim Crews. "And sometimes it looked like we had good pressure on him."
"I keep telling the guys, you've got to take good ones," said head coach Dana Altman. "And Dot[son], all six of his were…He's a very good shooter when he takes good shots."
With Oregon pulling away, Saint Louis leaned on what had jolted the Billekins to 16 wins in 17 games: three-point shooting. But it was not their day from deep, as they failed to convert from deep in the first half despite 10 tries and finished 3-for-21.
"I just really think that we tried to shoot our way through some situations that maybe our problems was executing through it. So we were a little quick with shots," Crews said.
Part of that was a change in defensive philosophy, Oregon elected to extend their pressure full-court and drop into a zone. The result: 10 steals.
"I think the press today and the zone really took them out of what they like to do," said E.J. Singler, who finished with 14 points. "As a collective unit, we just played really well."
Arsalan Kazemi was king-of-the-glass finishing with 16 rebounds, one shy of the 17 he recorded Thursday. All together, the Ducks out-rebounded the Billekins by 11, including nine on the offensive side.
"Some players come and try to show people what they can do and what they can't do. I said I can help my team rebounding, and I'm going to go out and get as many rebounds as possible," he said. Kazemi also finished with eight points, two steals and two blocks.
After a Johnathan Loyd three-point shot ended the half to give the Ducks a 16-point lead, the Billekins fought back opening the half with a 7-2 run.
"We were very aggressive the second half defensively," Crews said. "But if you give up fouls and offensive rebounds… then you're letting people off the hook."
Oregon responded with a 26-13 run, started by a Dotson three, and concluded the same way.
"He [Altman] tells me to shoot the catch-and-shoots, and that's what I've been doing," Dotson said. " I just try to stay aggressive and be a good teammate…"
This is Altman's first appearance in the Sweet 16, but more importantly to the coach, it's another opportunity for his upperclassmen who won't have another opportunity to play in the NCAA tournament.
"For me I get an opportunity to do it a number of times. E.J. doesn't. That's who I feel great for.
"We [Carlos Emory] were sitting back there and [he] said, man, I just don't know what to expect. I said just savor everything and enjoy it."

Spatial selective attention in a complex auditory environment such as polyphonic music127(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3271422View Description Hide Description
To investigate the influence of spatial information in auditory scene analysis, polyphonic music (three parts in different timbres) was composed and presented in free field. Each part contained large falling interval jumps in the melody and the task of subjects was to detect these events in one part ("target part") while ignoring the other parts. All parts were either presented from the same location (0°; overlap condition) or from different locations (−28°, 0°, and 28° or −56°, 0°, and 56° in the azimuthal plane), with the target part being presented either at 0° or at one of the right-sided locations. Results showed that spatial separation of 28° was sufficient for a significant improvement in target detection (i.e., in the detection of large interval jumps) compared to the overlap condition, irrespective of the position (frontal or right) of the target part. A larger spatial separation of the parts resulted in further improvements only if the target part was lateralized. These data support the notion of improvement in the suppression of interfering signals with spatial sound source separation. Additionally, the data show that the position of the relevant sound source influences auditory performance.
Perception of musical pitch and lexical tones by Mandarin-speaking musicians127(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3266683View Description Hide Description
The relationship between music and language processing was explored in two perception experiments on the identification of musical notes and Mandarin tones. In the music task, Mandarin-speaking musicians were asked to identify musical notes of three timbres without a reference pitch. 72% of the musicians met the criterion for absolute pitch when an exact match was required, and 82% met the criterion when one-semitone errors were allowed. Accuracy of identification was negatively correlated with age of onset of musical training, and piano notes were identified more accurately than viola and pure tone stimuli. In the Mandarin task, the musicians were able to identify, beyond chance, brief Mandarin tone stimuli that were devoid of dynamic F0 information and cues commonly considered necessary for speaker normalization. Although F0 height detection was involved in both musical note and Mandarin tone identification, performances in the two tasks were not correlated. The putative link between absolute pitch and tone language experience was discussed.
Major and minor music compared to excited and subdued speech127(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3268504View Description Hide Description
The affective impact of music arises from a variety of factors, including intensity, tempo, rhythm, and tonal relationships. The emotional coloring evoked by intensity, tempo, and rhythm appears to arise from association with the characteristics of human behavior in the corresponding condition; however, how and why particular tonal relationships in music convey distinct emotional effects are not clear. The hypothesis examined here is that major and minor tone collections elicit different affective reactions because their spectra are similar to the spectra of voiced speech uttered in different emotional states. To evaluate this possibility the spectra of the intervals that distinguish major and minor music were compared to the spectra of voiced segments in excited and subdued speech using fundamental frequency and frequency ratios as measures. Consistent with the hypothesis, the spectra of major intervals are more similar to spectra found in excited speech, whereas the spectra of particular minor intervals are more similar to the spectra of subdued speech. These results suggest that the characteristic affective impact of major and minor tone collections arises from associations routinely made between particular musical intervals and voiced speech.
An acoustical study of vocal pitch matching in congenital amusia127(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3270391View Description Hide Description
Vocal pitch matching is a foundational skill for singing and is an interesting place to study the relationship between pitch perception and production. To better understand this relationship, we assessed pitch-matching abilities in congenital amusics, who have documented disabilities in pitch perception, and in matched controls under normal, masked, and guided feedback conditions. Their vocal productions were analyzed for fundamental frequency and showed that amusics were significantly less accurate at pitch matching than the controls. However, five of the six amusics showed a significant correlation between their produced pitches and the target pitch. Feedback condition had no effect on pitch-matching accuracy. These results show impaired vocal pitch-matching abilities in amusics but also show a relationship between perceived and produced pitches.
Perceptual studies of violin body damping and vibrato127(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3266684View Description Hide Description
This work explored how the perception of violin notes is influenced by the magnitude of the applied vibrato and by the level of damping of the violinresonance modes. Damping influences the "peakiness" of the frequency response, and vibrato interacts with this peakiness by producing fluctuations in spectral content as well as in frequency and amplitude. Initially, it was shown that thresholds for detecting a change in vibrato amplitude were independent of body damping, and thresholds for detecting a change in body damping were independent of vibrato amplitude. A study of perceptual similarity using triadic comparison showed that vibrato amplitude and damping were largely perceived as independent dimensions. A series of listening tests was conducted employing synthesized, recorded, or live performance to probe perceptual responses in terms of "liveliness" and preference. The results do not support the conclusion that liveliness results from the combination of the use of vibrato and a "peaky" violin response. Judgments based on listening to single notes showed inconsistent patterns for liveliness, while preferences were highest for damping that was slightly less than for a reference (real) violin. In contrast, judgments by players based on many notes showed preference for damping close to the reference value.
Normal modes of a musical drumhead under non-uniform tension127(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3268605View Description Hide Description
The effect of non-uniform tension on the normal modes of musical drumheads is examined. Using the standard designation for the number of nodal diameters and circles, ideal circular membrane modes with are doubly degenerate. These degeneracies can be lifted by perturbations to the circular symmetry. Of practical interest to drummers are perturbations caused by non-uniform tension applied at the rim of the drum, leading in some cases to audible frequency splitting. The role of the (1,1) mode in practical drum tuning is analyzed using data obtained using time-averaged electronic speckle-pattern interferometry along with finite element analysis. The resulting model is then generalized to include all modes, using symmetry arguments along with a selection rule taken from group theory. The model compares favorably with both perturbation theory and finite element analysis, and is consistent with experimental observations.
Detecting overblown flute fingerings from the residual noise spectrum127(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3257205View Description Hide Description
Producing a tone by increasing the blowing pressure to excite a higher frequency impedance minimum, or overblowing, is widely used in standard flute technique. In this paper, the effect of overblowing a fingering is explored with spectral analysis, and a fingering detector is designed based on acoustical knowledge and pattern classification techniques. The detector performs signal analysis of the strong broadband signal, that is, spectrally shaped by the pipe impedance, and measures the spectral energy during the attack around multiples of the fundamental frequency sub-multiples over the first octave and a half. It is trained and evaluated on sounds recorded with four expert performers. They played six series of tones from overblown and regular fingerings, with frequencies that are octave- and non-octave-related to the playing frequency. The best of the four proposed sound descriptors allows for a detection error below 1.3% for notes with two and three fingerings (, , , and ) and below 14% for four or five fingerings . The error is shown to dramatically increase when two fingerings' impedance become too similar ( and and and ).

This gist is no longer valid. Please see Compass-Rails for instructions on how to install.
I prefer
Bundler.require *Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test)) with pre-compiled assets deployed to production. This is the default line from a new rails 3.1 app.
i've followed this gist tip in new rails 3.1 app. ad added 1 file app/assets/stylesheet/setup.css.scss with following code
@import "blueprint/grid"
but when i load page i see empty setup.css on it... so import doesn't work
i'm really newbie to compass and rails could you tell me what i'm doing wrong?
here is full source code
thanks now i'm clear on it
How did you make it work? When I run 'rake assets:precompile' it precompiles all assets except my stylesheets in app/assets/stylesheets.
@FooBarWidget Did you rename your non-partial stylesheets to
Annoying. It seems you have to enumerate them:
I suppose you can do a glob.
Made some updates to automatically find non-partials and include them in the precompilation step.
The optional third step doesn't seem to do anything besides give an error.
Is this required for using a framework like Susy?
I attempted:
bundle exec compass install susy
but I just get:
No such framework: "susy"
Also, should the code in the application.rb be inside a file called compass.rb inside the initializer folder, or do initializers get called in the wrong stage?
Does Compass have to be required somewhere before using it?
If yes, where's the best place to do so?
@chriseppstein The precompile glob you posted doesn't work for me. It globs the files properly, but the precompile task doesn't generate anything because those 'paths' don't match the asset 'logical_paths' returned by the sprockets gem, which removes all the 'engine' extensions... so filename.css.scss.erb becomes simply filename.css... This means the globed path (w/ the '.scss') will never match the path from sprockets. The glob should work if you remove the 'engine' extensions from each globbed file. Also, based on the behavior of 'logical_path', it doesn't mater if your file is '.css.scss' or '.scss' it will return both as '.css'.
However, using the following regex, which will match anything but a partial, is a simple approach that is working well for me:
config.assets.precompile << /(^[^]|\/[^])[^\/]*$/
Susy doesn't work here either, getting same "No such framework: "susy"
gem 'compass-susy-plugin', :require => 'susy'
And just running
bundle exec rake assets:precompile fails with:
File to import not found or unreadable: susy.
Any updates to this for Rails 3.1.1.rc2 / sass-rails 3.1.3?
When rake assets:precompile runs, I'm getting:
File to import not found or unreadable: compass.
Load path: Sass::Rails::Importer(/app/app/assets/stylesheets/base.css.scss)
That file contains
@import "compass";
Sorry, but I think there is some issure in application.rb code. Its does not generate separate stylesheets in production env.
As I understood from the Rails Guide, we must add in config.assets.precompile something like this array
which generates by the script in your application.rb. My version works fine.
am I right?
PS Sorry for my english, and thanks for your awesome work.
@divinly, I have had the same experience as explained in my earlier comment. That is why I use a different regex to produce the desired results...
config.assets.precompile << /(^[^_]|\/[^_])[^\/]*$/
Update: Not sure how, but the "_" in the code above were originally removed in my copy paste... fixed now.
config/compass.rb still optional if you're requiring extensions? My initial guess would be no, and that if you're requiring Compass extensions to show in the "frameworks" list, you'd still need
config/compass.rb to require them.
True or false?
I got it working with this:
gem 'compass', :git => 'git://github.com/chriseppstein/compass.git', :tag => 'v0.12.alpha.0'
@adamstac if you're using the compass CLI, you need a config. But otherwise you can just require your extensions in your rails configs.
Yea I'm lpoking to still provide access to the CLI for patterns and templates.
@chriseppstein Have you tried this on Heroku with Rails 3.1.1.rc2? I'm still getting the following during the
rake assets:precompile part of the deploy:
File to import not found or unreadable: compass.
Load path: Sass::Rails::Importer(/app/app/assets/stylesheets/base.css.scss)
Works fine on Rails 3.1.1.rc1.
@bensie No I have not tested that scenario. that error would imply that compass was not initialized (the railtie was not loaded).
Having the same problem as @bensie:
File to import not found or unreadable: compass/css3.
Load path: Sass::Rails::Importer(/Users/me/apps/myapp/app/assets/stylesheets/admin.css.scss)
I switched from the gem with version 0.12.alpha.0 to the Github version as @richardaday suggested, no luck.
Happens on deploy to staging and locally when I try
RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_GROUPS=assets bundle exec rake assets:precompile
AFAICS started happening when I upgraded from 3.1.1.rc1 to rc2
Downgrading to 3.1.1.rc1 made the issue disappear.
@marcusmateus Thanks for you... But it seems it does not work in this kind of implementation. I have this error on it
warning: character class has ']' without escape: /(^[^]|\/[^])[^\/]*$/
So, I have some trouble with regexp and can`t understand, what going wrong.
Chris, first off thanks for all the hard work in getting compass going in rails 3.1. It works great.
Can I ask, because I can't seem to find a definitive answer online: what is the preferred method for importing? Is it @import (sass way) or /*=require (sprockets way).
It seems that sass-rails was created to allow us to use @imports (and it does indeed). But there seem to be two problems with that:
1. In development I don't get the benefit of multiple css files being linked (which is quite a boon for debugging).
2. Every time I make a change to a sass file it recompiles everything, which in my case takes around 50 seconds.
It seems possible to use a combination of the two importing methods to get the best of both words (@import for mixins, /*=require for partials) but that seems just plain strange.
Can anyone enlighten me? Or link me to the answer somewhere?
@import is much preferred over
=require since the @imported mixins can then be used by other files.
As for your questions:
1. You're right. Maybe the Sass option
:debug_info helps, it prints out debug info for each selector saying where it is defined (http://sass-lang.com/docs/yardoc/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#options)
2. 50 seconds just to compile your Sass files? Jeez... :) I have about 60 partials by now and it takes barely a second to recompile everything... Maybe check out https://github.com/wavii/rails-dev-tweaks, works great for me.
1. It does help, but of course you can't see it in browsers' development tools, so it's mainly useful for last ditch diagnoses.
2. Thanks for the link, not sure it would help in this case as we do need to recompile the sass, it's just unfortunate that it is taking so long.
Which does raise an interesting question:
3. Why is it taking so much longer in 3.1 to re-compile the sass than in 3.0? Was there some kind of caching going on before that is no longer enabled? (I was only using @imports before, obviously).
I'd say if it takes 50 seconds to recompile your Sass files, that is definitely an issue worth investigating.
I wouldn't know how to go about it, though... :)
Hmmm.. so compiling sass from the command line is taking around 3s. Even if I am sure to delete the
.sass-cache. So something is definitely wrong. I guess I will have to look around as to why that is happening, unless anyone here has any ideas?
Having said that, can anyone else confirm that
@import is the way I should be doing it? Cheers.
Looks like assets:precompile issue is resolved in rc3 :)
@arronchi: confirmed, works fine here too. no more "can't find susy/compass".
Same here -- rc3 fixes the Heroku issue.
btw, how font-files helper doesn't work for 3.1 assets pipeline
i tried use
@include font-face("PictosRegular", font-files("pictos-webfont.woff", woff,"pictos-webfont.ttf", truetype));
but result was
src: url(/assets/pictos-webfont.woff) format('woff'), url(/assets/pictos-webfont.ttf) format('truetype');
urls without quotes...
fonts doesn't load on page..
how to fix it? (if i type localhost:3000/assets/pictos-webfont.ttf i can download them...)
Not working for me using Rails 3.1.1, I get this error:
j2(master): rake assets:precompile
rake aborted!
undefined method `directory?' for nil:NilClass
Tasks: TOP => assets:precompile:primary
I would post the stack but nothing in it is from my app, all from gems.
@bensie after upgrading to rc3, I encounter the same message than @manuelmeurer
File to import not found or unreadable: compass/css3.
It is solved once I roll back to rc1. If I use 3.1, I get the heroku compilation error about *.png file not being precompiled...
Anyway, also, I found an issue during my debug process. When under rc3 on my localhost, when I was using
in my css to get the reference to an image, it was trying to access the path
instead of
I had tried using image-url just like the RoR documentation suggests to do but it seems that this doesn't work anymore. So in the end I tried and got success with the following:
which is pretty ugly...
For info, now I have:
group :assets do
gem 'sass-rails', "~> 3.1.4"
gem 'coffee-rails', "~> 3.1.0"
gem 'uglifier'
gem 'compass', :tag => "v0.12.alpha.0"
Sorry if I am not clear, I tried a lot of things on Friday and didn't have time to post it right away... I can re-run some tests and get you more details if interested...
This worked for me (upgrading from Rails 3.0.10 to 3.1.0), thanks for posting this!
@tmeasday any luck on fixing the slow sass compile times within Rails 3.1's asset pipeline? I'm seeing the exact same thing.
@whather: Yes, chatting with my coworker and looking through the commits, I think the biggest thing was large mixins.
We have some large mixins that control many aspects of page layout, called e.g.
layout_behind. Previously, we had code that looked much like (for example):
.c_profiles.v_show { @include layout_behind; }
.c_profiles.v_edit { @include layout_behind; }
This would be repeated many times, basically once for each view of the site. To fix it up, we pulled them all together into a single line:
.c_profiles.v_show, .c_profiles.v_edit { @include layout_behind; }
Although I can understand that the second will produce less CSS, and is probably a better approach to run with for performance reasons, the first made a lot more sense for our code organisation, so it was a drag that we had to change. I won't pretend to understand the internals of SASS and how the compilation works, but the compile times we were getting were obscene.
Anyway, probably a similar workaround is possible. Worst-case scenario, I can imagine scattering some classnames around might help avoid repeating mixins (which would suck, I'm sure). Let me know if I can help further.
No, the number of import statements was and is relatively large (of the order of 1 file per view in the project). Possibly this is the reason why sass is slow for us, esp. in rails vs command line (for more details you can see this bug: rails/sass-rails#67).
I guess we haven't really resolved our slowness, just managed to bring the compile times down far enough that it's no longer a pain point. But changing the use of
@includes made a huge difference.
PS. When you say until recently, are you referring to sass-rails 3.1.5? It doesn't seem to make significant difference.
PPS. Re compression: I'm not sure. Is this enabled by default in dev?
I'm having an issue getting compass and blueprint to work with my project, even though I have followed all the steps... (all of this is in develop) Rails 3.1 Ruby 1.9.2
I originally installed compass, and then called compass init rails --using blueprint. It claimed it worked fine. I then went and relocated the stylesheets into the correct directory.
I have the standard partial called _base.scss inside its own partial folder and four stylesheets called
all are in the app/assests/stylesheets
I call each of them by using the stylesheet_link_tag '*.css'....
When running the rails server, it fails
Cannot find or import: blueprint/reset
So I go in and remove that clause, again,
Cannot find or import: compass/reset
Cannot find or import: blueprint
and it goes on forever with me removing each line until nothing of
compass or blueprint is being called...
If I stop calling any stylesheet except application.css.scss, which is written in basic css with no compass or blueprint calls, the site runs fine. The second I add @import "blueprint";
the site crashes again saying cannot find or import blueprint.
Its as if compass and blueprint aren't really inserted into my project as it claims.
What am I missing?
I assume it's just a typo, but
app/assests should be
Yup, that's a typo... Though I wish it was something that stupid! haha
Found my issue. I had 0.11.5 installed!
I'll note here that trying this out with Rails 3.2.0.rc1 appeared as if compass wasn't loaded when I tried to include it at the top of my
application.css.sass on a fresh Rails project. Downgrading everything back to
rails ~> 3.1 worked for me. Just a heads up.
Edit: d'oh! Issue has already been opened.
Temporary fix for 3.2.0.rc1: make sure sprockets is declared above sass-rails in your Gemfile:
gem 'sprockets'
gem 'sass-rails'
gem 'compass', '0.12.alpha.2'
Asset pipeline fun continues...
Thanks, @bensie, that seemed to do the trick. What does that accomplish, do you know? I'm not extremely familiar with
bundler, but does that make a certain version of
sprockets a priority over what
compass normally uses?
Sprockets was removed from the sass-rails Gemfile in rails/sass-rails@3c24e4f
While the reasoning behind it makes sense, there's clearly more work to be done to get the load order right.
This was fixed in rails/sass-rails@f8faec5
Not sure is anyone is running an issue upgrading from Rails 3.0 to 3.1.3 with Compass v0.12.alpha.4
File to import not found or unreadable: compass/reset.
Load path: Sass::Rails::Importer
Add this to your application.rb:
config.sass.load_paths << "#{Gem.loaded_specs['compass'].full_gem_path}/frameworks/compass/stylesheets"
Will fix this issue.
FWIW, with rails
3.2.0, there is no need to add sprockets to your Gemfile, and the following assets group works fine:
group :assets do
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 3.2'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.2'
gem 'uglifier', '~> 1.0'
gem 'compass', '~> 0.12.alpha'
This gist is no longer valid. Compass v0.12 release candidate is out and should make rails integration a snap. Please see https://github.com/compass/compass-rails for details.
@chriseppstein thanks for all your work on this!

I Heart Girl // Screen Tests
The hugely successful follow up to I Heart Boy, Yatrofsky's recent project I Heart Girl saw her photograph 100 women over a period of several years. Challenging traditional representations of women in mass media, her latest offering is a moving image project that compiles a series of screen tests, featuring all the women she shot for her photographic monograph. Naked without being objectified, or clothed without accentuating the subject's gender, I Heart Girl - Screen Test deconstructs our institutionalized notion of femininity and reminds us of how beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. Director by Jessica Yatrofsky Cinematography by Bobby Davidson Music "Elaenia" by Floating Points ℗ 2015 Luaka Bop, Inc
Whalecum Pictures
Whalecum Pictures investigates the interstice of art and commerce, and the notion of value within a marketplace. The project consists of re-imagined scenes from iconic movies, and promotional objects that tie in with these movies. The objects are heavily branded by the fictional production company that develops the movies - Whalecum Pictures.
Shaun Ross X Jessica Yatrofsky
This short by Jessica Yatrofsky blends the line between the worlds of fashion modeling and modern interpretive dance, examining the relationship between two men via their ensembles, (or lack there of,) and the intimacy that can be created through mimicry. Ostensibly, the video is dedicated to unusual model of the moment, Shaun Ross, as interpreted through the lens of Yatrofsky. But as the film progresses, it becomes far more about the mysterious relationship and combative chemistry that arises between these two men. - Emily Kirkpatrick, The WILD Magazine Director: Jessica Yatrofsky Cinematography: Bobby Davidson Assistant Camera: Kyle Parsons Key Grip: Chris Soldt Red Epic MX Cooke Mini S4 Special Thank You to William Wang & Shio Studios

Six months ago, when police officer Ryan Marron arrived at the world-renowned Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, climbing stairs was an impossible feat.
Deep concentration, huge effort and determination are etched across his face as he stands wobbling with support from his therapist at the bottom of a staircase.
Const. Marron, 30, is preparing to walk up five steps, a movement most of us make every day without a second thought.
He used to do it without thinking, too, until his life was shattered by Murray Valley encephalitis - a virus carried by mosquitoes that causes potentially fatal swelling of the brain. He contracted it in the Kimberley 17 months ago.
"Explode it! There you go. Let's do it, dude! Go, go, go!"
Physical therapist Mike Klonowski encourages Const. Marron as he holds him by the waist. "Beautiful, Ryan. All the way up. Big step, dude! There you go," he says as Const. Marron reaches the top step.
A single mosquito bite caused Const. Marron a devastating brain injury that rendered him helpless, unable to walk or talk and with an unknown prognosis. Now, with only light support from his therapist, he walks a lap of the institute's state-of-the-art patient recovery ward in just a few minutes.
"The first time we got up walking there was a lot of effort from me," Mr Klonowski said.
"I think the first day we walked about 20 feet or so and that took a lot of energy and a lot of help and now we're walking 300 feet at a time without using the walker."
_The Weekend West _ visited Const. Marron in Chicago during his last few days of therapy before Const. Marron arrived home in WA yesterday.
The $800,000 medical bill for six months rehabilitation was paid for by public donations and, after months of lobbying, a State Government grant.
Seeing the young 1.83m man struggle to take a step and get a word out is heartbreaking, but his determination is impressive.
Const. Marron's partner Toni Misitano, who slept on a single fold-out sofa next to his hospital bed, said he was determined to return to work but needed more time and treatment to recover.
"The last six months that Ryan's spent here getting treatment has given me a huge amount of hope," Toni said. "The gains that Ryan has made here really project into the future that things are going to continue to get better." But the couple fear Const. Marron could be medically retired from the police force.
"Returning to work is one of the biggest motivations he has to get through this," Toni said. "He wants to get back to work and he won't stop until he's achieved his goal."
Elliot Roth, Const. Marron's physician and director of the institute's recovery unit, said his therapy was highly intensive with up to six hours a day of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and gym workouts.
"Ryan's made a great deal of progress here and he's had a substantial recovery," Dr Roth said.
"He's improved his balance. He's able to sit better, stand better, take steps and he's especially improved in his endurance."
But while Const. Marron's walking and strength has improved, his speech has still not returned. As we sit in Const. Marron's room, which is adorned with Hawks memorabilia and photographs of family and friends, it is clear that this is what distresses the young couple most.
"Just the frustration Ryan must feel, I can't even imagine. Ryan not even being able to talk about this himself and what his thoughts and feelings are about it. It's heart-breaking to watch," Toni says tearfully as Const. Marron breaks down beside her.
"The most important thing is being able to communicate and what you share. I can't even describe what it's been like. It's what you cry yourself to sleep over."
Const. Marron will continue therapy at a private hospital in Perth.
"It's likely that Ryan will be able to return to work in some capacity and I quite honestly don't know what capacity that is but I really do think he will be able to do some substantial functions," Dr Roth said.
Const. Marron and Toni are looking forward to watching Const. Marron's beloved Hawks play in the AFL grand final today and surrounded by family and friends.
Before leaving the US for home, Toni asks: "How much are you looking forward to going home, Ryan?"
He slowly points to A, L, O, T on his alphabet board.
"Was it worth coming out here to work on this stuff or not," Toni asks. Const. Marron nods.
"Do you feel like you've made some good changes," Toni asks.
The officer nods - and the tears flow again.

HtmlUnit is one of the extended testing frameworks from JUnit. HtmlUnit models the returned document as HTML, so that you can deal with the document directly. HtmlUnit treats documentation as HTML with tags such as table, form, and so on. It still requires a Java™ test program that follows the JUnit testing framework structure.
In contrast with HttpUnit, HtmlUnit is not based directly on HTTP request/response actions, but instead requires you to write test cases based on HTML concepts such as links, forms, and tables. HtmlUnit has a Java API that provides the Java objects that enable the HTML documentation to be traversed as a DOM tree. In contrast with XMLUnit, HtmlUnit is specifically used for HTML and treats HTML as XML. However, you cannot use HtmlUnit to check for differences between two pieces of XML, or to check the XML that results from an XSLT transformation. HtmlUnit still fits into the black box test category. It brings up the extra choices for you to select the Java testing API, maintaining your test cases and testing manner for Web application testing. If an application Web page is constructed as XHTML, then you can still use HtmlUnit because XHTML will have a well formatted document structure.
Sample application
To demonstrate use of HtmlUnit, we can use the employee directory application on ibm.com. It's a WebSphere® J2EE application and the IBM® Web pages follow XHTML web standards. People outside IBM can search for IBM employee contact information as long as they know the employee's last name and country location.
Testing the IBM employee directory
- Go to the IBM home page at http://www.ibm.com and click Contact at the bottom.
- On the Contact IBM page, click Employee directory at lower right.
- On the Employee directory page, select the country from the drop-down list, enter the Last name and First name, and click Submit.
- Verify the search results. The content to be verified could be a page footer, metatags and header, and so on.
//application home homePage = (HtmlPage)webClient.getPage(url); assertNotNull(homePage);
//application link click HtmlAnchor anchor = homePage.getAnchorByHref(ApplicationURLs.APP_SEARCH_PAGE); assertNotNull(anchor); try { employeesSearchPage = (HtmlPage) anchor.click(); assertNotNull(employeesSearchPage); } catch (IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); }
//set the parameters for search List formList = (List) employeesSearchPage.getAllForms(); HtmlForm searchForm = (HtmlForm) formList.get(1); final HtmlSelect select = ( HtmlSelect )searchForm.getSelectsByName( "search_country" ).get( 0 ); select.setSelectedAttribute("ca", true); //select.setSelectedAttribute("all", true); final HtmlHiddenInput hiddenInput1 = (HtmlHiddenInput) searchForm.getInputByName("country"); hiddenInput1.setValueAttribute("us"); final HtmlHiddenInput hiddenInput2 = (HtmlHiddenInput) searchForm.getInputByName("language"); hiddenInput2.setValueAttribute("en"); final HtmlTextInput inputLastName = (HtmlTextInput)searchForm.getInputByName("lastname"); inputLastName.setValueAttribute("Shafi"); final HtmlTextInput inputFirstName = (HtmlTextInput)searchForm.getInputByName("firstname"); inputFirstName.setValueAttribute("Marie"); imageInput = (HtmlImageInput)searchForm.getInputByName("Submit"); try { searchResultPage = (HtmlPage)imageInput.click(); assertNotNull(searchResultPage); Document resultsPage = searchResultPage.getDocument(); //page content verification based on XML //It depends on html documentation structure its self, CommonTests.testResultsWhitespaceName(resultsPage, "Employee Directory results page", "Shafi", "Marie"); } catch (Exception e) { }
Test from WebSphere Studio
WebSphere Studio V5 or later is tightly integrated with the JUnit testing framework. In order to make your test case runnable from WebSphere Studio,
you need to follow the basic JUnit test case programming API. For each test case. basically you need to extend your test class from TestCase.
Then implement the methods
testXXXX(), and
In order to make your test cases maintainable and reusable in a large project, please follow object-oriented design and other standard practices.
Before you set up the test, you need to have at a minimum the HtmlUnit binary JAR file. Extract the lib in a special directory. You can download a stable version of HtmlUnit 1.2.3 from SourceForge.
Create a Standalone Simple Java Project
Select File => New => Other. In the new window, select Java => Java project.
Figure 1. Simple Java Project.
Configure the Java build classpath for using HtmlUnit
In the new Java project dialog, select the Libraries tab and add the external JAR files from the lib directory.
For HtmlUnit packages, add
JUnit.jar, which you cab find in the WebSphere Studio plugin directory.
Figure 2. Test case build classpath configuration.
Import Sample Application test code
Download HtmlUnit_JavaSrc.zip from end of this article and import the sample application into your Java project.
Run the test case
Highlight the test case or test suite which you need to test, Click on Run => Run as => JUnit.
Figure 3. Run JUnit
Check the test result
Select the JUnit view from WebSphere Studio, and you can see the results running in color.
Figure 4. JUnit HtmlUnit test result
Run the test by Ant Script
<target name="htmlunit" depends="compile"> <junit printsummary="yes" haltonfailure="yes"> <classpath refid="junit.classpath"/> <formatter type="plain"/> <test name="sample.testcase.IBMEmployeeDirectoryPageTest" haltonfailure="no" outfile="test-result" todir="${build.dir}"> </test> </junit> </target>
Download HtmlUnit_JavaSrc.zip from end of this article if you have not already done so
and modify the
build.xml file, specifying the
junit.jar, and
htmlunit.libdir parameters.
- Configure WebSphere Studio using Ant. Select Window => Preferences and click on the Properties tab.
Figure 5. WebSphere Studio configuration setting for Ant.
- Run the Ant script, and the results will be shown in the WebSphere Studio console. Right-click on build.xml and select Run Ant.
The results will be shown in the console and the Ant output file.
Figure 6. WebSphere Studio Ant runtime setting
HtmlUnit extends the JUnit Java test framework, offering additional choices for Web application testing. HtmlUnit lets you test Web applications by using HTML Web page concepts, and it works well when your Web content follows XHTML standards.

This work was made in response to the Spanish painter Francisco Zurburán's still life A Cup of Water and a Rose on a Silver Plate (circa 1630, now in the National Gallery; see below). Although the central motif of the plate and cup is rendered meticulously from the earlier painting, Caulfield also includes references to more contemporary Spanish culture.
The wedge of lime inserted in the
bottle refers to the Hispanic fashion
of drinking beer with lime, while the bull's head, celebrating the Spanish tradition of bull-fighting, was seen
in a bar in Madrid. These eclectic references are echoed by Caulfield's merging of different artistic styles.

Of all the teams in baseball, a majority cannot put together a strong enough package to acquire David Price. Many can't afford the likely $30 million he'll make in arbitration over the next two seasons—his current team, the Rays, need to trade him because they are one of the teams in this category. Others just aren't willing to pay the high price. There are a handful of teams that will give it a shot, though.
According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, the Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays are among the teams that are likely to submit, or have already submitted a bid, for the former Cy Young award winner.
Of those seven potential destinations, I've ranked them according to the team's odds of landing him—least likely to most likely with the Angels and Blue Jays not included due to lack of prospect talent—and have also included some analysis on the state of the team's starting pitching and what kind of trade package they might be able to put together.

Students make record food bank donation
The hard work of some Truman State University students nets the largest single contribution from the Heartland to The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri. The Nutrition 150 class made its 'Change for Change' a week-long project to seek donations for the food insecure.
Tuesday morning, the Nutrition 150 Section One class presented Susan Dublin, The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri Regional Coordinator, with a check for $5,032. That will provide 75,480 pounds of food. Dublin told the class that this amount of money has never been raised for The Food Bank in this area before and it all will stay in Kirksville.
Students in the nutrition 150 Section Two class also took part in a presentation Tuesday afternoon.
The students far exceeded their goal of $3,600. They raised $1,337 on campus and the rest was raised in special weekend food drives in Kirksville.
The class also received 1,048 pounds of non-perishable food which was donated to the Salvation Army.

Railway Stakes History
Since 1894 when Wandering Willie took out the title, the race has had several distance changes starting with the 2400 metre track from 1894 to 1925. In 1926 it was changed to 1600 metres for 47 years until it was changed again in 1974 to 1500 metres. Finally in 1984 racing officials decided on a 1600 metre track. In 1979, the race changed from a principal race to a Group 1 race.
As a handicap race, three-year-old horses are required to carry a minimum of 50.0 kg while four-year-olds and over must carry a minimum of 52.0 kg. By 2011, Perth Racing is hoping the Railway Stakes' prize money will match the $5.5 million offered at the Melbourne Cup. It currently offers $1,010,000 in prize money with the money being divided up as followed:
- 1st place – $622,500 including trophies valued at $5,000 for the owner, $2,500 for the trainer and $2,500 for the rider.
- 2nd place – $200,000
- 3rd place – $90,000
- 4th place – $40,000
- 5th place – $20,000
- 6th to 8th place – $12,500 each

Reposting: "We All Sin:" A 15 Step Path To Forgiveness For Doug Phillips
by Heather Doney from her blog Becoming Worldly originally posted there just over a year ago 11 - 5 - 13The Doug Phillips affair scandal has rocked and shocked the Quiverfull and Christian Patriarchy world the past few days, so I figured I'd address one angle that to my knowledge hasn't been covered in depth yet: the path that Doug Phillips will try to take to "restoration" and "forgiveness." It usually seems to take about 15 steps. But first, some background: … [Read more...]
Child Coercion or Religious Freedom?
Serious trigger warning: If you are sensitive to crying children and loud demanding adults. Trigger warnings also on a church exploiting the images of children.Found this on the Facebook group for Recovery from IFB.

A Dusty Letter
by Kaleesha Williams cross posted from her blog The Lost (And Found) Mind of Kaleesha Williams This afternoon while Denny and I were rearranging our bedroom a bit, I found a dusty letter on a shelf. I recognized my own handwriting. Well, it's always interesting to come across notes of a writer tucked away here and there, even if the writer is myself. I'm a curious sort. I dusted it off and read it aloud to Denny. It was addressed to my heavenly father, Yahweh. (And like a good girl I'd written the date on it.) … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Fashion Leads to Lust?
by Stephanus Blignaut from Go Tell My People - Modesty: Discouraging Lust and Encouraging Godliness Women are so easily caught up in "what everyone is doing" or what is available in the shops and what is promoted in magazines and TV. They don't think about how their body is portrayed and what it causes in men – the stumbling block it becomes for men. Women condemn lust in a man when they see it but somehow they don't make the connection between the condemnable lust and their own clothes that they are wearing. Not realizing this makes them stand guilty before God as a stumbling stone because of the lust they caused. … [Read more...]
Mary Pride denies founding the Quiverfull movement?
by Vyckie Garrison (Editor's Note: This was originally published on NLQ back around three or four years ago. Sharing again as it seems appropriate in light of our recent discussions about Mary Pride)A couple months back, I received an email from Mary Pride -- apparently, she's feeling the pressure since Frank Schaeffer mentioned her in his latest book, Sex, Mom & God, and has been talking in various interviews about her role in founding the Quiverfull and Christian Patriarchy movements with her book, The Way Home: Beyond Feminism and Back to Reality.If you Google "Mary Pride" -- NLQ comes up 4th on the results page -- I'm guessing that's how she ended up emailing me: … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Mary Pride Marginalized by Patriarchy?
by Karen Campbell from her blog That MomMary Pride was one of the first leaders in the modern homeschooling movement. Her book The Way Home was a powerful rebuttal of the radical feminist agenda and she minced no words as she made an appeal for rejecting all sorts of sacred cows. Mary was outspoken and certainly no model of the perfect patriarch wife and ruffled lots of male feathers. One of my fondest memories of homeschooling in the early days (nearly 30 years ago now) is of a conference in the St. Louis area with Gregg Harris, Michael Farris, and Mary … [Read more...]
