"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
For more than 225 years these words have inspired men and women in countries the world over to risk everything in pursuit of these lofty ideals. When they first appeared in our nation's birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence, they were a call to action for a colony on the brink of rebellion. The 56 men who dared to sign their names to this revolutionary document knew they were putting their reputations, their fortunes, and their very lives on the line by boldly and publicly declaring their support for liberty and freedom. As Benjamin Franklin said as he signed his name, "We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately!"
Who were these men who are the first heroes of our nation? Award-winning team of author Dennis Brindell Fradin and illustrator Michael McCurdy bring their considerable talents together to illuminate the lives of these valiant men, ranging from the poorest farmers to the wealthiest merchants, whose dauntless courage inspired thousands of colonists to risk all for freedom.

Chapter OneI. MASSACHUSETTS
* * *
The place where the Pilgrims settled, the site of America's oldest college [Harvard], and the birthplace of Thanksgiving and America's public school system, Massachusetts had 250,000 people by 1775. That sounds paltry today, but back then when all thirteen colonies together had only about two and a half million people, Massachusetts was the third most populous colony, trailing only Virginia and Pennsylvania. Boston, the Massachusetts capital then as now, had about 16,000 people in the mid-1770s. That would make it only a small town today, but America's only larger cities at the time were Philadelphia and New York. Massachusetts people worked at farming, fishing, shipbuilding, and, in the towns, shopkeeping.
Starting in the 1760s, Massachusetts became known as the most rebellious of the thirteen colonies, and Samuel Adams of Boston was considered the most rebellious American. In 1770 five Americans, including a black man named Crispus Attucks, were killed in a street fight with British soldiers. Samuel Adams named this clash the Boston Massacre and used it to stir up hatred against the British. Three years later Samuel Adams organized the Boston Tea Party. Andthe Revolution began when the British tried to capture Samuel Adams and his friend John Hancock in Lexington, Massachusetts.
Besides Samuel Adams and John Hancock, Massachusetts' other signers were Samuel's cousin John Adams, Robert Treat Paine, and Elbridge Gerry. Later, Hancock, Samuel Adams, and Gerry all served as governor of the Bay State; Paine was its first attorney general; and John Adams served as the second president of the country he had helped to create.

SAMUEL ADAMS: "The Father of American Independence"
More than anyone else, a Massachusetts man ignited America's rebellion against England. In fact, during the decade before the war began, Samuel Adams was basically a one-man revolution.
He was born in Boston in 1722. Despite graduating from Harvard, Samuel failed at nearly everything he tried for many years. He went to work at a Boston countinghouse-a business similar to a bank. Samuel lost that job because he spent his time talking politics. His father gave him a large sum of money to start any business he wanted. Samuel passed along half the money to a needy friend, and he somehow lost the other half. The bottom line was that all the money was soon gone. His father then put Samuel to work in the family brewery. Samuel neglected the business until it was eventually destroyed.
Bostonians elected Samuel to the job of tax collector. People who wanted to avoid paying their taxes could not have picked a better man! As he listened to his neighbors' tales of woe about their financial problems, he felt sorry for them, and ended up collecting little of the money.
Samuel had six children with his first wife, Elizabeth Checkley. After she died, he married Betsy Wells, with whom he didn't have any children. It was said that Samuel Adams was so poor that his family would have starved had not the rich merchant John Hancock helped support them.
There was one thing that no one could do as well as Samuel Adams. By the 1760s, he was the most outspoken critic of England. He and Patrick Henry of Virginia both argued in favor of independence by about 1765 and are considered the first Americans to do so. But while Patrick made speeches, Samuel wrote thousands of letters about British injustice, which he sent to newspapers and colonial leaders around the country. He signed the newspaper letters with dozens of false names. This gave readers the impression that all of Boston was up in arms-when really just Samuel Adams was doing much of the complaining!
Samuel also recruited young men and turned them into revolutionaries. Paul Revere, Samuel's cousin John Adams, and John Hancock all considered Samuel their "political father," as Revere expressed it. All three became more famous than their political father. That was fine with Samuel Adams, who liked to remain in the shadows and let others receive the credit.
Samuel Adams took part in some of the main events that sparked the Revolution. He organized Boston's Sons of Liberty, a group of rebels who protested British injustice by destroying British property and picking fights with British officials. Dozens of towns throughout the thirteen colonies formed Sons of Liberty organizations modeled after the famous group in Boston. After England passed a tax on tea, Samuel planned the Boston Tea Party and gave the signal for the tea to be destroyed, lie also began the Committees of Correspondence, the letter-writing networks through which colonial leaders kept in touch.
The British called Samuel Adams "the Grand Incendiary," meaning someone who stirs up trouble, and "the most dangerous man in Massachusetts." The Revolution began when the British marched to Lexington, Massachusetts, in an attempt to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock. Fortunately, Paul Revere warned Adams and Hancock of the enemy's approach, allowing them to slip away. Soon after the war began, the British offered to pardon all Americans who would "lay down their arms and return to the duties of peaceable subjects" except for two persons: Samuel Adams and John Hancock. Had Britain won the war, the pair probably would have been among the first Americans executed.
But America triumphed, and a grateful nation called Samuel Adams "the Father of American Independence" and "the Father of the Revolution." Thomas Jefferson called him "truly the Man of the Revolution."
Later in life, Adams served as governor of the new state of Massachusetts from 1793 to 1797. Following his death, his deeds were largely forgotten, and he faded back into the shadows. He wouldn't have minded, for he often said that he worked not for personal glory but so that "millions yet unborn" could enjoy independence.
JOHN HANCOCK: Put Your "John Hancock" Here
People who are about to sign important papers are often asked to "put your John Hancock here." The first person to sign the Declaration of Independence inspired this expression.
John Hancock was born in Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1737. His father, a minister, died when John was seven. The family had more than their grief to contend with. Their home was reserved for the minister, so they had to move out to make room for the new preacher. John's mother couldn't afford to keep the family together. She and her other two children moved in with Grandfather Hancock in Lexington, Massachusetts, while John went to live with his wealthy uncle Thomas and aunt Lydia Hancock in their mansion on Boston's Beacon Hill.
His aunt and uncle, who had no children of their own, showered John with love and everything that money could buy, including a Harvard education. John adored them, too, but all his life he was haunted by being separated from his mother, brother, and sister.
Following college graduation, John went to work for Uncle Thomas. In 1764, Thomas Hancock died, leaving most of his fortune to his nephew. Suddenly, at twenty-seven, John Hancock was one of the richest people in Massachusetts.
John enjoyed his wealth. He owned enough suits to open a clothing store, drove about in a fancy carriage, and gave parties that were the talk of Boston, He also used his money for the public good, which made him very popular. For example, he helped rebuild damaged structures after a fire, and every winter he donated food to poor Bostonians.
Samuel Adams decided to recruit Hancock for the Liberty Party, as the radicals were called. He took Hancock to his political meetings and convinced him to join the patriot cause. They were an odd couple-Adams in his threadbare suit accompanied by the dashing young merchant. At Samuel's prodding, John ran for office, and in 1766 he was elected to the Massachusetts legislature.
Hancock poured his heart, soul-and money-into the patriot cause. He gave so much money to the rebels that Bostonians joked, "Samuel Adams writes the letters [to the newspapers], and John Hancock pays the postage." Hancock was also the central figure in a famous act of defiance. In May 1768 his ship, Liberty, entered Boston Harbor. A British tax man climbed aboard to inspect the vessel. By Hancock's order, the crew locked him in a cabin. John Hancock was arrested, but his lawyer, John Adams, managed to have the charges dropped. However, the British seized the Liberty and never returned it to him. In 1774 he further enraged the British by making a speech in which he suggested that the colonists form an independent nation called the United States of America-one of the first times this name was proposed.
As war approached, Hancock was elected president of a new Massachusetts government that was the forerunner of its state government. Under Hancock, Massachusetts raised bands of "minutemen." These soldiers, who claimed they could get ready to fight in sixty seconds, were soon needed. On the morning of April 19, 1775, British troops came to capture Hancock and Samuel Adams, who were hiding in Lexington. Thanks to Paul Revere's famous ride, Hancock and Adams were warned. A little-known fact is that Samuel had a tough time convincing John to flee. Hancock wanted to join the minutemen who fought the Battle of Lexington on the village green, beginning the Revolutionary War.
John Hancock and Samuel Adams soon headed to Philadelphia for the Second Continental Congress. In May 1775, Hancock was elected president of Congress. Three months later Hancock married Dolly Quincy, with whom he would have two children. Their daughter, Lydia, lived less than a year. Their other child, John George Washington Hancock, hit his head while ice skating and died at the age of eight.
As president of the Continental Congress, John Hancock was the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence. Reportedly, while signing in large, bold letters on July 4, 1776, Hancock said, "There! John Bull [a nickname for England] can read my name without spectacles and may double his reward on my head!"
Hancock was immensely popular with the American patriots after signing the Declaration. In 1780 he was elected the first state governor of Massachusetts in a landslide. He served as governor for a total of eleven years, but suffered so severely from a painful disease called gout that at times he couldn't walk and had to be carried about Boston. He was still governor of the Bay State when he died in 1793 at the age of fifty-six.
JOHN ADAMS: "Survive or Perish with My Country"
Two signers went on to become president of the new nation. The first was John Adams of Massachusetts.
Born in Braintree [today Quincy], near Boston, in 1735, John graduated from Harvard, then taught school for a year. Although he later claimed that he learned all that he needed to know about human nature from his students, he was not very fond of teaching, so he turned to the study of law. Just after he became an attorney, he met Abigail Smith. He and "Miss Adorable," as he called her, were married in 1764. The couple had five children and enjoyed a lifelong love affair that ended only with her death after fifty-four years of marriage. The many letters John and Abigail Adams exchanged when apart provide us with a vivid picture of revolutionary times.
Like many other young men, John was led to the patriot cause by his cousin Samuel Adams. In 1770 John was elected to the Massachusetts legislature, where he and Samuel spearheaded the right against English oppression. John served in the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1777. One of the hardest-working congressmen, he awoke at four each morning and kept going until ten at night. By 1775 he believed that America must become independent. "The die is now cast," he wrote in a letter. "Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish with my country is my unalterable determination."
Thanks partly to John's efforts, the new nation survived. In Congress, he and his cousin were instrumental in appointing George Washington to command the Continental Army. As a member of the committee assigned to draft the Declaration, he convinced Thomas Jefferson to do the writing. Years later, Adams described his discussion with Jefferson about it:
TJ: "You should do it!"
JA: "Oh! No."
TJ: "Why will you not? You ought to do it."
JA: "I will not."
TJ: "Why?"
JA: "Reasons enough."
TJ: "What can be your reasons?"
JA: "Reason first-you are a Virginian, and a Virginian ought to appear at the head of this business. Reason second-I am obnoxious, suspected, and unpopular. You are very much otherwise. Reason third-you can write ten times better than I can."
TJ: "Well, if you are decided, I will do as well as I can."
John Adams and Benjamin Franklin made a few minor changes in Jefferson's stirring document that called a new nation to arms. John Adams put his "John Hancock" on the Declaration right below his cousin Samuel's signature.
Early in 1778, Congress sent John Adams to obtain help for America in France. John and Abigail decided that their ten-year-old son, John Quincy Adams, should go, too. John and John Quincy Adams were at sea when their ship engaged in a battle with a British vessel. John grabbed his musket and went out on deck with his young son. Suddenly a cannonball slammed into the ship near where the father and son were standing. Had it struck a few feet away, it might have killed two future U.S. presidents.
Following the Revolution, John Adams helped negotiate the peace treaty. He later served his country in many ways. In the first election for president in 1789, George Washington received the most votes; John Adams came in second. By the method then used, Washington became president and Adams vice president. Then in 1796 John Adams was elected as the nation's second president, holding office until 1801.
Abigail didn't live long enough to see it, but John Adams was still alive when his son John Quincy Adams took office as the nation's sixth president in 1825. Until George and George W. Bush, John and John Quincy Adams were the only father and son to both hold the nation's highest office.
John Adams remained vigorous until his late eighties, walking three miles a day. By a remarkable coincidence, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day-July 4, 1826, precisely fifty years after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The last words uttered by the ninety-year-old John Adams were, "Thomas Jefferson still survives," but unknown to Adams, the author of the Declaration of Independence had died a few hours earlier.

This book was a wonderful experience to read and if I could, I would read it again and again. It really helped me understand a little bit more of our nation's history.
The Signers contains brief but quite interesting and informative biographical sketches of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Not only should kids have this as a resource, it's nice for adults to be at least minimally informed as well!

Angelina: Raising Her Kids With An Education Of The WorldSassy Smith
Angelina Jolie, who attended a ceremony honoring refugees at the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, D.C. on Thursday (June 18), said she will raise her children with a more "accurate view of the world."
Jolie, mom-of-six: Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 3 1/2, Shiloh, 3, and 11-month-old twins, Knox and Vivienne, realizes she grew up very privileged compared to the refugees of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and doesn't want to take anything for granted.
"I would have been less self-destructive," admits the 34-year-old actress. She's vowed to raise her kids differently.
She told NBC's Ann Curry, "I hope if I raise them with a more accurate view of the world than I was raised with, then they will naturally be better people."
Jolie added, "And I'm sure my children will be visiting and learning from refugees in the future."
In a recent interview with Anderson Cooper on "360" she said, "Some of my kids are from countries that have seen conflict. I usually just explain to them that there are other families in the world that aren't as fortunate as ours and other kids.
"And so I tell them that it's important for all of us to do what we can and then go to these places and understand what's happening. So I think they're just being raised that this is the normal thing to do… Hopefully I'll take them to as many countries as I can and raise them with an education of the world."

Shubook. Got her monk daily done. 13 more quests to level her.
What I first thought of when I saw this were the terrifying stone angels in the Doctor Who episode "Blink." Grifiend stated that they look like The Big O (which I had to go look up as I'm pretty much an anime newb even though I associate with @Quutar). I agree but it wasn't what first pop'ed in my mind. The spiky setting sun is a great touch. The only changed I really noticed between the male & female models was the female mask showed the chin while the male did not showing the goatee of the mask instead. I enjoy the masks on the shoulders.
The yellow one is my favorite. Really not feeling the purple version. I'm probably one of the few people who don't care for a purple/red color combination. I could never be a red hat society member unless they allowed me to wear black instead of purple (heck I'll probably be driving a motorcycle if I make it to 50).
I must review the fashion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently someone at Blizzard is learning some basics of fashion design.

INTERVIEW: Making "Nijinksy"; Paul Cox Gets Punched in the Nose By Nureyev and Other Tales From the Front
by Brandon Judell
(indieWIRE/ 05.31.02) -- At the end of her 1934 biography on her husband, Romola Nijinsky recalled that she once uttered after seeing him dance at Convent Garden: "Thank you, my God, that I have lived in this century to have seen Nijinsky dance." This bio was released after the man declared to be the world's greatest dancer, Vaslav Nijinsky, had been declared insane for 14 years. It's a touching, riveting book. But it's not as startling, chaotic, or even mesmerizing as the entries in Vaslav's own madman diaries.
Both works were understandably censored by Romola. It was only after her death that Nijinsky's homosexual encounters were no longer left to the imagination of those who sensed the truth. Now Australian director Paul Cox has visualized the diaries in all their uncensored glory. A more fitting pairing of two creative forces would be hard to imagine. (Ken Russell and Nijinsky? Well, that would probably be a bit over the top.)
Exploring madmen who see the truth more clearly than the sane is not a new topic for Cox. There was "Vincent: The Life and Death of Vincent Van Gogh" (1987) and "Man of Flowers" (1983) in which a lover of art kills an enemy and turns him into an actual statue. Also, if I remember correctly 1975's "The Island" touched upon this state of affairs, too.
Of course, Cox's own constant outspokenness has made some wish he was confined, too. Take his view on Quentin Tarantino: "I'm certainly not looking forward to the next Tarantino film. He has done a lot of damage to a lot of people with his crappy films. A lot of young people think 'Pulp Fiction' is really great but to me, it is a terrible film and has pushed back cinema for many, many years. There are a lot of imitators at work there."
Then there's his depiction of critics in this film as brainless ducks. To find out more about the man, Brandon Judell nervously wobbled into his hotel room the other day and quacked the following questions.
indieWIRE: You've dealt with other artists who've gone bonkers like Van Gogh. Do you feel you're going insane yourself? Is that why you were attracted to Nijinsky?
Paul Cox: I've always been a little insane. No. I am just interested in people who are right on the edge, who walk around with exposed nerves and bleeding hearts, who are so close to the truth of living, dying, and being. And I find it remarkable that here you have two so-called madmen who had actually all by themselves single-handedly changed the future of their medium and became the forefathers of modern art and modern dance, which is extraordinary. These people are supposedly mad. I have this theory that I live in a very insane world.
iW: I think it was Thomas Szasz who in the '70s said the insane do not exist. They're just people who don't fit into the mainstream of their time. Do you feel if you were living in Nijinsky's time, you could have been put away?
Cox: Me personally? [chuckles]
iW: Yes.
Cox: No, I think I'm one of the sanest people I know.
iW: But your views are extreme. I endorse your stands completely, but others have said you're too out there. Or too far to the left. Or too something or other.
Cox: Right, yes. I even recently got a threatening letter saying that I was evil because I had promoted elderly people being unfaithful to one another. That sort of insanity we have to learn to cope with.
iW: I read Nijinsky's diaries way back in my college days. I read it right after Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar," and I truly believe I came close to having a nervous breakdown because I started questioning what's sanity and whether I was indeed sane. For you to recreate the world as seen through the eyes of one whose hold on reality was nonexistent, did you ever lose your grip on reality? Did you start wondering what is sane and what isn't?
Cox: Well, I've always asked that question. But indeed, suddenly I was facing such a dark cloud that was very hard to escape. Especially when you're emotionally and physically exhausted, you do wonder a little within, and that certainly happened to me. But there is some sort of strange strength that lifts you. I had to finish this journey especially because I did it in the old-fashioned way. There was no digitized image or anything. Even the editing was done on the flatbed. And I did not have an assistant so you can just imagine. [Laughs] No, you couldn't imagine.
iW: Well, just the scene of Nijinsky's train ride to Zurich, that's completely brilliant editing. It captures the insane mind plus Nijinsky's past, present, and future. That scene alone must have taken weeks or even months to edit. It's phenomenal.
Cox: Hmmmm.
iW: Did you try to get into Nijinsky's mind and see what he sensed he was seeing?
Cox: Please believe me. I have no pretense about any of this. I felt compelled to do that out of great frustration, passion, and a degree of love. I felt compelled to actually exhaust myself into this because I have enormous respect for somebody who can actually express what they feel. I live in a world that is based on thought, and thought is very much part of this society that becomes increasing more metallic and less attractive as I get older.
iW: Nijinsky had immense guilt about his homosexuality. One thinks that if he hadn't gotten married or if he was living in this generation where homosexuality is a bit more accepted, he wouldn't have gone insane.
Cox: No. I don't think so. His soul is sick, not his mind. By that, I think it's the old eternal embrace of men. It's much larger. Sometimes you see somebody smiling, and you see all the people in similar situations smile right through the centuries. It was a large embrace. Van Gogh calls it that the Great Grave of Man. That Great Grave. The insensitivity of man. The insensitivity of man drove him insane.
iW: But Nijinsky had great guilt about having a homosexual inclination. Many of the quotes you include in your film, which were cut out of the original published diaries, deal with this guilt.
Cox: Definitely. But at the same time, he was also a beast. He was a faun. He went to Diaghilev's hotel and "I immediately allowed him to make love to me," he says in his diary. What was that about? It was extraordinary. "It was all the same to me. My mother and I had to eat." This is extraordinary.
iW: The totally nude dances in your film are stunning. Have you ever filmed dance before?
Cox: I've always been interested. I worked years and years ago on this film "Don Quixote" with Rudolf Nureyev and Robert Helpmann until Nureyev punched me on the nose hard. I have never forgiven myself that I didn't punch him back. But that was the first time. Then I did some work with the Australian Ballet at the time. That was the first time I really got sort of quite excited by the dance.
iW: I came across a film venture that never happened. It was called the "Nijinsky Project." The year was 1970. It was supposed to star Nureyev as Nijinsky with a screenplay by Edward Albee. Do you know anything about that?
Cox: Yes. I know the Nijinsky family very well: Nijinsky's granddaughter and the second daughter Tamara. So they've been very much involved. They hated that film Herbert Ross made. Have you seen that one?
iW: Yes. Many years ago.
Cox: It had no heart for some reason. Ross missed it. It had money and some marvelous dancing but there's no heart there. The Nijinskys hated that very much. And Romola, Nijinsky's wife, didn't want to cooperate with all this because she was still alive. She died in '78, I think.
There have been so many attempts at trying to do something about Nijinsky, and I find it very strange that there's no footage of him dancing. There's only this diary which ordinary people can't read. They think it's too crazy. There's the myth of his powers in the photographs, and that's it. Why has his spirit lingered for so long? At the moment there's an enormous surge. If you go to Japan and you say, "I'm making a film about Nijinsky," they fall on the floor. They're so excited about him. Why is this? I ask myself.
In one way, when I look at the heroes of our times, when we have people that scream into microphones loudly and they become instant heroes, and our children pray to these instant gods that have no substance, I think there is a great need in our society to find people that actually have something to say or who stood for a degree of love or beauty or whatever. You know, to have substance. I'm answering my own question, but that has something to do with it. But it still puzzles me as to what is the sudden surge in interest.
iW: Your film seems to be not so much a documentary on Nijinsky as much as a celluloid poem. A paean to someone you admire.
Cox: Well, it's not a documentary, although I will say it's film. But, of course, it will be classified as a documentary. But I don't see it as a documentary. In fact, academics would have great trouble with this because there's no particular logic in the film. Yes, it says "I was born in Kiev, etc., etc." but it doesn't go into the documentation of his life at all.
iW: Nijinsky in this film says, "I am God." In a sense, a director is God, except maybe if you work in the Hollywood system. Do you feel like a god who's creating his own little world?
Cox: No, I felt in this case like not even the priest. I felt like the altar boy. Now and then I could bring in the wine or the blood of Christ. Then maybe now and then I would become the priest at the editing table for that's where the film was really composed. But I was a servant, and I never regarded myself as any more.

iPhone4 Retina Display
Hi Folks
I'm working with Sencha Touch and I think is amazing, however I'd like to use the 640x960 resolution in my application, also I'd like to allow the user to zoom in/out.
I define the "viewport" meta tag like this:
HTML Code:
<meta name="viewport" content = "width = device-width" />
HTML Code:
<meta name="viewport" content = "width = 640" />
What can I do?
7 Mar 2011 2:23 PM #2
any idea? I also tried to set the width and height to the Ext.Panel that im using as a viewport:
Bleext.sabbath.views.Viewport = Ext.extend(Ext.Panel, { id : "viewport", layout : "card", //fullscreen : true, width : 640, height : 960, renderTo : "placeholder", cls : "bleext-sabbath-viewport", initComponent : function() { Bleext.sabbath.views.Viewport.superclass.initComponent.apply(this, arguments); } }); Ext.reg('sabbathviewport', Bleext.sabbath.views.Viewport);
Best regards
7 Mar 2011 3:19 PM #3
Doesn't this have to do with the iPhone 4 using a "virtual" resolution of 320 by 480 "units", where each "unit" is a certain number of actual pixels?
7 Mar 2011 5:36 PM #4
I don't think so because an image that is 640px width doesn't fit in the screen
Does anyone can use the 640x960 resolution? what about zoom in/out a sencha application?

18 Mar 2011 7:25 PM #6
Hi folks!!
I found the line of code responsible for not getting 640 width in my ifphone!!
If you open the file "sencha-touch-debug-w-comments.js" and go to the line 22484 you'll find this:
/* * The viewport meta tag. This disables user scaling. This is supported * on most Android phones and all iOS devices and will probably be supported * on most future devices (like Blackberry, Palm etc). */ if (!Ext.is.Desktop) { tag = Ext.get(document.createElement('meta')); tag.set({ name: 'viewport', content: 'width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0;' }); head.appendChild(tag); //<--- this is the line!! }
There's not a way to disable adding this tag to the header by a configuration, so my workaround was to override the entire method and just comment that line, after this my app now is getting 640 width and 960 height.
Best regards
28 Oct 2011 2:05 AM #7
Crysfel thanks for sharing that.
In my case, I'm not including sencha-touch-debug-w-comments.js so I assume I don't need the override.
So I change the width value in that line of code in my phoneGap project:
HTML Code:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no;" />
Any suggestions please?

How To Save Images For Retina Display
This is what I do to account for the difference between older iPhone displays and the iPhone4 Retina display.
First, you were correct to use this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no" />
yourimage.png - The 320x100 image.
firstname.lastname@example.com - The 640x200 image for Retina displays.
You would then include your image using stylesheets. Here's where the critical stuff happens.
First, the placeholder:

#yourimage {height: 100px; width: 320px; -webkit-background-size: 320px 100px; // Critical line! background: url("images/yourimage.png") no-repeat;} // This detects the iPhone 4 Retina display @media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {#yourimage {background: url("email@example.com") no-repeat;}}
Hope this helps! =)
21 Nov 2011 9:16 AM #9
Thank for share, this is great stuff!

By Cal Athletics on Fri, April 25, 2014 Related Links Tournament Notes Live Scoring @CalMensGolf Pac-12 Championship Annual Report MARANA, Ariz. – Two-time defending conference champion Cal (368-354 – 722, +2) is in second place after the conclusion of play on the first day of the 2014 Pac-12 Championship hosted by Arizona at The Gallery Golf Club. The Golden Bears were one of only three teams to have each of its players finish all of Friday's scheduled 36 holes of the par-72, 7,349-yard course along with playing mates Colorado and USC. Stanford was in the lead four shots ahead of Cal when play was suspended due to darkness. "My guys gave everything they had today," Cal head coach Steve Desimone said. "We're going to get ready for tomorrow and make another run at this thing." Three Cal players – Shotaro Ban (73-69 – 142, -2), Brandon Hagy (73-69 – 142, -2) and Joël Stalter (74-68 – 142, -2) – are among a group of five players that all finished 36 holes tied for second place four shots behind leader Patrick Rodgers, who is six-under par with two holes remaining in his second round. "It was a frustrating day as we finished in the dark, but I played very well overall and came back strong after my quad," Stalter said in reference to his nine on the par-five seventh hole during his first round. "There's lots of golf left and work to do, but the team fought hard." Keelan Kilpatrick (74-74 – 148, +4) and Michael Weaver (74-74 – 148, +4) are tied for 24th, while James Yoon (76-75 – 151, +7) is tied for 38th. Cal came into the Pac-12 Championship ranked tied for No. 3 nationally by Golf World/Nike Golf, No. 4 according to Golfstat and No. 5 by Golfweek, while the Cardinal was Golfstat's No. 3 team and No. 6 according to both Golfweek and Golf World/Nike Golf. The teams are in a battle to be the top-ranked team in the West heading into NCAA postseason action and likely stay close to home for the only one of six NCAA Regionals on the West Coast May 15-17 at the Eugene Country Club. "There's plenty of golf left to catch Stanford," Hagy said. "We're looking forward to the challenge." "We're a few shots behind Stanford with two rounds to go so anything can happen," Ban said. "We need this one." Second-round action at the Pac-12 Championship resumes Saturday at 7 a.m. MDT/PST. Third-round pairings and tee times will be announced following the conclusion of second-round action, with the third round slated to begin one hour after the second round ends.

James Yoon 76-75 – 151 (+7) NOTES► Cal won six of 11 events during the 2013-14 regular season and has won 24 of its last 37 stroke-play tournaments dating back to the beginning of the 2011-12 season. The Bears have also been in the top five in 36 of those events as well as another four match-play events during the period for 40 top-five showings in their last 41 tournaments overall.► Another Cal victory this season would give the Bears seven in 2013-14 and the second-most in school history behind the school-record 12 stroke-play events won by the 2012-13 squad.► Ban, who is the lone Cal player participating in his first Pac-12 Championship, finished strong with a four-under par 32 on the back nine of his second-round three-under par 69. He played his final 14 holes in five-under par with a birdie on the par-four fifth, three in a row on the par-four 10th and 11th, and another on the par-five 18th that was Cal's lone of the day on the hole. His only second-round blemish was a double bogey on four. Ban birdied both par-fives on the front nine (2, 7) during his opening-round one-over par 73, while he had bogeys on a trio of par-threes (3, 6, 16).► Hagy played 17 holes of five-under par bogey-free golf during his three-under par 69 second round before taking a double bogey seven on the 18th hole to end his day. His second-round birdies came on the par-five first and seventh holes, as well as the par-four fourth, ninth and 10th to get him to five-under through his first 10 holes before he made seven consecutive pars. Hagy had back-to-back birdies on the par-four 14th and par-five 15th holes in his one-over par opening-round 73, while he had back-to-back bogeys on the par-four eighth and ninth holes, as well as the 18th.► Stalter started his second-round four-under par 68 that was the best completed round of the day by playing the first 11 holes in six-under par with birdies on the second, fourth, fifth, sixth, 10th and 11th holes. He would bogey three of his final seven holes (12, 14, 18) but managed one more birdie on the par-four 17th. Stalter's opening-round two-over 74 was marred by a quadruple-bogey nine on the seventh hole. He did manage four birdies during the round (5, 12, 14, 16) for a team-high 12 on the day, while he had bogeys on the par-four eighth and 13th holes.► Kilpatrick totaled nine birdies, 11 bogeys and one double bogey over his 36 holes.► Weaver bogeyed his final three holes and four of his last six, while totaling four birdies and eight bogeys on the day.► Yoon bogeyed four of his final six holes as well, while totaling five birdies (four on the front nine of his second round) and 12 bogeys on the day.► During Cal's second round, the five Bears that counted for the team score played the front nine in a combined nine-under par and the back nine in three-over par for a total of six-under par.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A man fired a bullet into the trans-Alaska pipeline, causing the biggest oil spill in its 24-year history and forcing its shutdown, authorities said.
Daniel Carson Lewis, 37, was arrested Thursday, four hours after the leak was discovered, and charged with criminal mischief in the attack - the first time the 4-foot-diameter steel pipeline has ever been pierced by a bullet.
State Police had no motive for the shooting but said Lewis has a long criminal record and had been drinking. "It does not appear to be an act of terrorism," trooper spokesman Tim DeSpain said.
Pipeline operators worked to install a clamp to stop the leak, which had spewed about 150,000 gallons into the wilderness by midday Friday.
A surveillance helicopter had spotted the spill about 75 miles north of Fairbanks. Oil under high pressure was spewing 75 feet across a road and into tundra and brush, said Tim Woolston, spokesman for the line's operator, Alyeska Pipeline Service Co.
Cleanup crews dug ditches and deep holes to capture the oil, which was being vacuumed into trucks and transferred to storage tanks.
"Our priority is that no oil migrates from the site to the Tolovana River a mile away," said Brad Hahn of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.
Alyeska had increased surveillance along the pipeline, much of which runs through the wilderness, after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The pipe is protected by a layer of galvanized steel and nearly four inches of insulation.
"It's important to understand that it's 800 miles long and it's a monumental task to protect every inch of that pipeline 24 hours a day," Woolston said.
The pipeline carries about 1 million barrels of oil a day.
Indentations from bullets have been found in the line over the years. Woolston said people have shot at the pipeline more than 50 times but never caused enough damage to produce a spill.

According to a study that will be printed in the September issue of Psychological Science, breast-feeding moms are more aggressive than moms who use formula. You may be wondering why a study about breast feeding moms might matter to you, and the reason it does is because of what researchers used to test these aggression levels. The researchers' hypothesis was that mothers display a higher level of aggressiveness while breast feeding. This theory is rooted in previous research in non-human mammals that shows that lactation seems to trigger heightened defensive aggression because it apparently decreases an animal's fear response.
To test this theory researchers found 18 mothers who were nursing their children, 17 who were using formula, and 20 women who did not have kids. All of the participants were asked to play a video game against a research assistant who pretended to be an overly aggressive and competitive player. When a participant won a round of the competition, she was allowed to press a button that delivered a "punitive sound burst" to their opponent.
When all was said and done, researchers found that the breast-feeding mothers inflicted the loudest and longest punitive sound bursts on the research assistant than the other two groups. Mothers who breast-fed their infants were almost twice as aggressive as formula-feeding women and non-mothers, according to researchers. Formula-using moms and non-mothers were equal in their levels of aggression – which wasn't all that high, apparently. Oddly enough, researchers also found that while breast-feeding moms were highly aggressive as they played and won their compeititos, their blood pressure remained normal.
"Breast-feeding mothers aren't going to go out and get into bar fights," said UCLA's Dr. Jennifer Hahn-Holebrook, lead author of the study. "But if someone is threatening them or their infant, our research suggests they may be more likely to defend themselves in an aggressive manner."
The Hahn-Holebrook research, "Maternal Defense: Breast Feeding Increases Aggression by Reducing Stress" can be found in the September issue of Psychological Science. More details can be found here.

The Albany Medical Center residency training program in Neurology is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education. There are 24 full time adult neurologists and 4 full time pediatric neurologists at the Albany Medical Center with plans for recruitment of additional adult and pediatric neurologists. The daily inpatient census varies from 10-15.
The full time neurology faculty staff approximately 11,000 inpatient encounters annually. There are more than 30,000 outpatient visits to the subspecialty adult and pediatric neurology clinics. In addition to the Adult Neurology Continuity Clinic throughout the three year program, residents will have exposure to specific attending clinics in movement disorders, dementia, epilepsy, MS and neuromuscular disease, thereby enhancing the outpatient experience.
The modern Clinical Neurophysiology laboratory at Albany Medical Center is staffed by certified EEG technologists with equipment for intensive video monitoring, routine and ambulatory 24-hour recording, evoked potentials, electrocorticography/ cortical mapping and electromyography/nerve conduction. It is fully accredited by the American EEG Society – one of only 77 accredited labs in the United States and one of only three in New York State. We specialize in neonatal and pediatric EEG. We perform approximately 2300 routine or sleep studies annually in addition to 150 intensive 24 hour ambulatory recordings. Long term video EEG monitoring is available for more complicated diagnoses and treatments. We have an active program for the surgical treatment of patients with intractable epilepsy, as well as intra-operative corticography (brain mapping). Albany Medical Center is the only designated neuromuscular center in the area recognized by the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Our subspecialty trained physicians see a wide variety of hereditary adult and pediatric neuromuscular diseases. The peripheral electrodiagnostic laboratory is also very active with state-of-the-art EMG/nerve conduction velocity equipment. Approximately 1000 of these studies, as well as more than 400 visual, auditory or somatosensory evoked potentials are performed annually at the Medical Center. Our physicians have expertise in the administration of botulinum toxin for patients with dystonia, hemifacial spasm and other focal movement disorders. There is an ongoing program in collaboration with Neurosurgery for deep brain stimulation in various movement disorders.
Our four Pediatric Neurology physicians and pediatric neurology nurse practitioner offer a complete array of consultative, diagnostic and treatment services for children. In addition to treating children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, headaches, neuromuscular and other disorders, we see a large number in our Comprehensive Epilepsy Program and Muscular Dystrophy Clinic.
The new addition to the Neurosciences Unit (22 beds in the M building) is designed to care for stable patients with any neurosurgical or neurological condition. The 15 bed Neurological Intensive Care Unit (NeuroICU) is also the only such unit in the region designed to care for patients with severe neurological conditions or injuries (B Building). The unit utilizes therapeutic hypothermia to care for patients with critical stroke, traumatic brain injury and cardiac arrest. Patients admitted to the NeuroICU are critically ill and often require ventilatory support, advanced monitoring of neurological status (i.e. intracranial pressure), or have complicated medical/surgical issues. There is a 13-bed Medical ICU and 17-bed Surgical ICU.
The 6 bed (adult and pediatric) inpatient Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU), part of Albany Medical Center's adult Comprehensive Epilepsy Program, has been granted membership into the prestigious National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC), becoming one of just six such programs in the state to be so recognized, and one of only three upstate. The program also received a Level 4 designation by the NAEC, the highest it offers, and shared by the best academic centers in the country. A Level 4 rating from the NAEC indicates a center offers the most advanced medicaland surgical diagnostic and treatment options for epilepsy. The EMU has been completely renovated and now offers wireless brainwave monitoring technology that uses advanced computer systems and seizure recording equipment enabling patients to move around the unit more freely. The EMU operates around the clock and is staffed by dedicated epilepsy nurses and technologists.
The outpatient clinic and offices for the majority of the Neurology Faculty are located in the Physician's Pavilion (A Building). Clinic space, shared with Neurosurgery and Physiatry, encompasses 37 exam rooms as well as physician and nursing workstations. Computer terminals in each exam room, physician and nursing workstations provide access to the electronic health record and clinical reference material. The Movement Disorders and Demyelinating Disease Section are situated in adjacent clinic/office space that includes 10 exam rooms, resource/reference room and research laboratory. Clinic and office space for specialists in dementing illnesses is located in the Advanced Neuro Imaging Research Center (S Building). The Center contains 4 exam rooms and a patient resource/education room. Pediatric Neurology has a dedicated area with physician offices and exam rooms located on the 2nd floor of the Physician's Pavilion.
The Department of Radiology maintains an endovascular suite for angiographic procedures and interventions, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging immediately beneath the Neurology clinic and offices. There is a neuro-reading room for reading of CT and MRI scans.
Research in neurodegenerative disorders is being conducted. Active clinical trials in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, as well as movement disorders, diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis and stroke are ongoing.
The Stratton VA Medical Center, a tertiary care facility and part of the VA Healthcare Network Upstate New York, is located directly across the street from Albany Medical Center. Opened in 1951, the VAMC serves veterans in 22 counties of upstate New York, western Massachusetts and Vermont. In 1990 this facility was named in honor of Samuel S.

text: This book contains a collection of stories in which the characters experience the robot rebellion in not-so-distant future. The stories are basically about a Robot Uprising and the records of survivors and the human resistance. The book starts with Dr. Wasserman's records where he succeeds to create Archos, the first mass intelligence robot. It seeks to destroy the human race and build its own race of robots. The outcome is devastating. There are enormous casualties, and human resistance do their best to destroy robots. These are stories of death, love and hope that made me gasp, cry, and smile while reading. It is a great sci-fi book that is also warning that if we continue to hunger for more, it will eventually destroy us. It's currently being made into a movie that is directed by Steven Spielberg. This movie will definitely be on my must-watch movie list.

Dr. Biden celebrates beginning of holiday season with Guard children

National Guard Bureau
12/6/2010 -
-- To kick off the holiday season, Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, welcomed children with parents serving in the National Guard as well as children from local schools to the official residence of the vice president to make holiday ornaments, decorate cookies and write letters to service members overseas.
"One of the things I love about being the wife of the vice president is getting to welcome people to our home," said Biden, adding that schoolchildren also visited last year. "This year, I wanted to welcome schoolchildren to come back and be our very first holiday guests."
As Biden talked with the children present--many of whom had parents that have been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan--she spoke of her own experiences as a mother of a deployed National Guard Soldier.
She showed the children a framed picture of her son, Army Capt. Beau Biden, who served in Iraq as a military lawyer with the Delaware Army National Guard's 261st Signal Brigade.
"I know how hard it was for us as a family to have our son away," said Biden. "So I know how it feels to have your mom or dad away."
After caroling, Santa Claus made his entrance and posed for some pictures with Dr. Biden and the children.
"I found out yesterday that I'd get two treats: one, I get to go to the vice president's house; and two, I get to skip school," said Kate Roberts, daughter of Air National Guard Lt. Col. Andrew Roberts and his wife, Debbie. "This is really cool."
Ethan McDonald, son of Army National Guard Master Sgt. Marty McDonald and wife, Trish, said decorating cards for service members was the highlight of the day for him. "I couldn't wish any more than your safe return," he wrote in his card.
Also joining in the event were Shelia Casey, wife of Gen. George Casey, the Army chief of staff, and Cheryl McKinley, wife of Air Force Gen. Craig R. McKinley, the chief of the National Guard Bureau.
McKinley spoke to the children about the role the Guard plays both at home and while deployed, focusing not only on the federal warfighting mission, but also its response to natural disasters here at home.
She stressed the importance of what the childrens' parents do in the Guard, but also thanked the children for the sacrifices that they have made.
"You're giving your service too," she said. "Sometimes, that takes a lot of courage."

Last Minute Valentine's Day Ideas
Posted By Miranda Marquit On 02/14/2011 @ 9:00 am In Shopping | 3 Comments
Have you been putting off planning for Valentine's Day? If you have been, your day of reckoning has arrived. You've probably got less than eight hours to pull off a respectable Valentine's Day. Chances are, of course, that you are going to be apart from your sweetie all day, so when you meet up later, you can provide a surprise.
Here are some things you can plan for this evening — even if you are behind. (and you're welcome :))
Win points throughout the day by letting your honey know that you are in love. Make a phone call from (or to) work to say, "I love you" during a break. Send a text message. Update your Facebook status to reflect your amor. Or send an @ message on Twitter. Or do one of each. Showing your romantic side during the day is a good way to put you ahead. Just make sure you don't get in trouble for it if you do it from work.
You can order flowers to be delivered to your home, or your partner's place of work. However, you have to be prepared to pay via credit card over the phone. And you may have to spend a lot. Ordering flowers (especially roses) on Valentine's Day is just asking to be taken to the cleaners. You can save a little bit if you order appropriately shaped balloons to be delivered with a single rose.
If you are planning on eating in, stop by the store on your way home to pick up some flowers (many grocery stores have more reasonable prices). You can choose flowers in a vase, or a potted blooming flower (orchids and lilies are always nice). Get a bottle of wine and some candles. You've just turned your evening into something a little more romantic for Valentine's Day.
Up the ante by stopping at the Red Box and getting a movie to watch after the dinner that you have transformed. Pick something that your partner has wanted to watch. You can make popcorn together, and snuggle while enjoying your movie.
If you have a specialty shop in your hometown, call ahead and ask if there are some handmade chocolates available, or some other type of specialty candy. These unique treats look more impressive than a generic box of chocolates. Many specialty candy stores will wrap the treats in appropriately colored cellophane, or in a special box.
You can also check with local pastry shops for specialty items, or check with the local cupcake shop. Your best bet, though, is to get on it immediately. Calling as early as possible to let the business know you will be in later to pick up the treats.
You can always stop off at the store or a spa to pick up some massage oils or scented body butter. Get a card and write a heartfelt message, and present the oils/body butter with a scented candle. Offer to give your partner a massage. You can also do something similar with bath salts or bubble bath.
Another option is to present your significant other with a certificate for a massage at a spa. You can also provide a certificate for other spa treatments. Something like that can be had quickly, and won't run out. You may want to pair it with a flower of some kind, or chocolates.
What last minute Valentine's Day ideas do you have?

Source code analysis, a fundamental part of a complete application security process, helps IT find flaws and vulnerabilities in application code that could be exploited by attackers. A critical component of source code analysis is tracking and remediating the flaws and vulnerabilities uncovered.
Fortify's 360 Server is a repository for all the results and remediation activities that accompany an analysis of source code. While 360 Server doesn't itself perform source code analysis, it does accept uploads from other Fortify products in the 360 suite that do. Organizations can also take advantage of the product's service-oriented architecture to integrate with third-party code analysis software.
A common starting point in Server 360 is a new project, such as one or more applications being assessed. Once a project is created, security and compliance staff use the project area to view actual source code issues through a mock integrated development environment to understand exactly what issues are outstanding. Reviewers can mark issues as an exemption, a false positive, exploitable, or one of several other options.
The Fortify 360 Server is the next logical step for organizations that have implemented application security code review, have structured remediation processes in place, and are looking to increase the efficiency of the process. It's particularly useful for those with other Fortify products in-house.

Calif. pot dispensary owner gets 8 years from feds
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A San Diego medical marijuana dispensary owner was sentenced Thursday to more than eight years in prison for conspiracy to distribute marijuana and other crimes, according to federal prosecutors.
U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy called Joshua Hester the "poster boy" for the types of marijuana dispensary operators the federal government is targeting for criminal investigation.
"He was a convicted drug trafficker making millions of dollars selling high-quality marijuana to recreational users and exploiting state laws that were meant to help the seriously ill," Duffy said after Hester was sentenced.
Hester sold the drugs at the Downtown Kush Lounge and Green Kross Collective, Duffy said. Together, the clubs had more than 2,500 members. Through federal wiretaps, Drug Enforcement Administration agents learned Hester was netting at least $10,000 a day at his pot shops.
Hester also admitted in federal court that he has a 37-acre Palomar Mountain property where he intended to grow marijuana.
Hester pleaded guilty to eight felonies Jan. 3. He was immediately taken into custody after sentencing.
About 253 dispensaries in San Diego and Imperial counties have received cease-and-desist letters from federal authorities. Duffy says all but about a dozen dispensaries have closed on their own.
Less than two weeks ago, San Diego's new mayor, Bob Filner, ordered local law enforcement and the city's prosecutor to back off of code enforcement of the city's remaining pot dispensaries.
Filner has assured residents that access to medical marijuana will be preserved and safeguards will keep the dispensaries away from children.

He is in Austria.
He is listed as father in Birth Certificate.
My daughter is 12 years old.
He has been talking to his friends that he will support her.
(which never occured)
I have no intention to let him have her.
I have family in Japan, and she should raised by true family
in case something happen to me.
This is my intention.
Thank you for your follow-up, Yoshi.Under U.S. law you cannot take away his parental rights unless and only unless you get someone else to formally adopt your child and in that process sever her biological rights to her. Beyond that all you need to file in the US is a petition for 'sole custody', as that will give you formal physical and legal custodial rights. You already have those rights because the child resides with you and are maintaining her needs as well as making all legal decisions, but the order will formally solidify those rights in one document. As for essentially taking away the parental rights, that is not possible without an adoption by someone else. In terms of making your intention known as to whom you wish to care for and provide for your child, consider creating a will where you can writing all your final wishes and orders for your family to follow, should you end up passing away before your child becomes an adult.Good luck,

Since i had a heat attack (53 yrs old) I must take statins. Plain CoQ10 in its unreduced form does not work to mitigate the side effects of the statins. This product makes it possible to keep my cholesterol levels at bay without the muscle cramping. Yay!

It happens every year: People run out to the store to buy a disposable roasting pan in order to cook that turkey. This may be easy, but it's not inexpensive. Over a period of time it will cost your more to continue buying these than if you bought your own reusable roasting pan. But not only is aluminum a toxin you shouldn't have near your food, it also has a poor effect on the environment when everyone disposes of those roasting pans every year.
This year consider investing in a good roasting pan, or asking the family members that usually come to your house for the holidays to help chip in for one as part of your gift. I recently picked up a fabulous stainless-steel roasting pan with lid at an auction for $7! It was brand-new and I was floored to get such an amazing deal. Do you know of any deals on roasting pans right now?

Hope Springs
$107 million worldwide on an unrevealed budget, $63 million domestic
Tommy Lee Jones has another stealth hit out there right now that we'll talk about in a minute, and of course he was in Men in Black III, but it's hard to match the sneaky success of Hope Springs, which had a modest $14 million opening over the summer, but went on to make more than $100 million worldwide. Meryl Streep has had bigger summertime hits like The Devil Wears Prada, but for a little dramedy about marriage counseling to pull this off is still damn impressive.
