Last week there were some discussions about the poor performance of jQTouch in PhoneGap apps, so I dug into it.
First I had to verify that this was something we were doing in PhoneGap and not a difference between Mobile-Safari and the UIWebView control which we use in PhoneGap.
I created a PhoneGap project and dropped the jQTouch sample code into the www folder, and immediately noticed the sluggish performance.
I then created a bare bones iPhone Windowed application with a UIWebView in it, and dropped the same www folder contents into the project root.
`
NSURL *appURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"html" inDirectory:@"www"]];
NSURLRequest *appReq = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:appURL cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:20.0];
[webView loadRequest:appReq];
`
After running both builds on the device it was obvious that the PhoneGap version was in fact sluggish compared to the bare-bones version. Verified!
So, thinking about what could be causing this, I looked into the PhoneGapDelegate code, and immediately saw the Accelerometer handling code the a potential culprit. The PhoneGapDelegate class asks the sharedAccelerometer for updates 40x per second. According to the Applei Phone dev docs, this interval is "Suitable for games and other applications that use the accelerometers for real-time user input." Which is cool, but probably way more than this application needs considering it isn't even being used. Every time that the sharedAccelerometer calls back with an update, the javascript is written into the webView's DOM. Commenting out the accelerometer code that sets up the interval indeed fixes the majority of the sluggishness. Verified! Pretty smooth, eh?
Okay, so commenting it out isn't really a solution, so here is the plan:
I am working to re-implement the Accelerometer portion as a command, that can be used more elegantly. Javascript code inside the www folder should have the ability to set how frequently it wants be updated, and have the ability to start + stop monitoring the accelerometer, which should also remove the overhead.
Note:
If your application does not use the accelerometer, instead of commenting out the code like I did, you can simply set "EnableAcceleration" to false in PhoneGap.plist.
I will post an update here when I have checked in anything of significance.

Authorities arrest 32, seize 79 guns in gang investigation
by EndPlayBOSTON - Authorities investigating drug and gun trafficking in Massachusetts have arrested 32 people and seized nearly 80 firearms.
The U.S. Attorney's office, FBI and other agencies announced Friday the results of Operation Emerald Crush, a months-long probe into gang activity in the Lawrence area.
Officials say the investigation resulted in the seizure of 79 guns, including assault weapons, as well as large quantities of heroin, cocaine and fentanyl.
Eighteen of the 32 people arrested are suspected members of the Trinitarios gang.
The suspects face a range of federal and state drug and gun charges.
The arrests were carried out Friday morning by more than 70 federal, state and local law enforcement officers.


Roseburg Saw & Tool Company provides a wide variety of products and services for sawmills, cabinet shops and the saw filing trade. We feature California Saw & Knife Works saw plate and Vollmer Grinding Equipment in the manufacture and servicing of carbide tipped circular saws and cutting tools.
We custom manufacture and service detail saws for varied uses within a plywood mill. Any circular saw ranging from 4" to 36" in diameter can be manufactured, level and tensioned, and tipped/sharpened with carbide or stellite tips, all within our facility. We will service saws shipped to our shop or build you some new ones using California Saw plate. Even if you aren’t sure what saw will run best, we can help you design a saw that will fit your needs.
All of the same services are offered for T1-11 cutters, tongue and groove sets, custom siding pattern cutters, roughing chains, and several other plywood mill tools. We provide personal pick-up and delivery service throughout Douglas County, and will mail our products anywhere in the world.
The handcrafted, made to order hammers you see above and below can only be purchased from one of our distributors. Different weights and styles are made, in order to ensure the hickory handle guides the hammer in a way that best suits each individual saw filer's hammer strike.
Cross Face hammers are primarily used for bandsaws. They are composed of two elongated faces, one parallel to the handle and the other perpendicular.
Twist Face hammers are typically used for circular saws. Each hammer has two elongated faces which are oriented at 45 degrees to the handle in opposite directions.
Combination hammers are commonly used for both bandsaws and circular saws. One elongated face is parallel to the handle, while the other face is circular.
Doghead hammers are primarily used for circular saws. They have a tapered head, with the handle being oriented on the narrow end of the head. There is one striking face with a circular shape.
We regrind and manufacture new straight edges, tension gauges, and speed gauges up to 48".
Straight edges are primarily used in the benching and hammering process for circular saws. These straight edges come in a “roof-top” style with one ground straight edge, or a double-sided style with both sides being ground straight edges.
Tension Gauges are used in the benching process for bandsaws. They are straight on one edge and convex on the other. The convex edge, or tension edge, is ground to the customer’s specified foot circle.
Speed gauges are designed to measure the amount of tension in a large circular saw based on their RPM. These gauges are convex on one edge and concave on the other.
Roseburg Saw & Tool Company was originally founded as K & S Precision Grinding in 2002 by Dan Lines. When he started the company, Dan brought twenty-five years of saw filing experience in both primary and secondary manufacturing.
In 2006, the company relocated to Roseburg, Oregon and began to include service work for the wood products industry in Douglas County. In 2010, K & S Precision Grinding was renamed Roseburg Saw & Tool Company to better reflect the diversity of the products and services provided.
Ten years later, in 2016, after many years of partnership with Warren Bird and the Bird family, California Saw & Knife Works was added to the Roseburg Saw & Tool Company family of businesses, and both were moved to a larger production facility in Sutherlin, Oregon, creating a unique environment where a saw can go through the full process of being cut out of steel, all the way to being levelled, tipped, and sharpened, all under one roof.
Acu Saw joined Roseburg Saw & Tool and California Saw & Knife Works in 2018 and is now also manufactured and assembled in Sutherlin. California Saw & Knife has been the sole distributor of the Acu Saw centering adaptors for a long time, so it was an easy decision when Thomas Bonac asked if we would continue building these products after he retired.

What is this all about?
The History
Every year we reflect on the previous 365 days worth of life events and try to suss out patterns. What were the things that really influenced our family in 2016? The obvious answer was the game, Pokémon Go.
Miles discovered it and soon got the entire family hooked on it. The kids have been getting books, watching TV shows on Netflix, and asking constantly if they can play it. We eventually had to start a Pokémon schedule to handle the fighting and unbearable uncertainty. It made our Christmas Card theme simple: Rauschémon Go: Gotta Catch Us All.
How to Play
Four Rauschémon have spawned nearby. You can see them below.
- Tap or click on a Rauschémon to learn more about it.
- Some Rauschémon can be evolved into a new form. Tap or click the "Evolve" button to evolve the Rauschémon.
- Evolved Rauschémon have different stats and descriptions, so be sure to read them.
Then What?
If you catch us all… I don't know. You win, I guess? Something like that. Look, what do you want from me? Just enjoy this little website I made.


Derived from: public BListView
Declared in: ColumnListView.h
Library: none
A ColumnListView displays a list of items that can be structured either in a linear list or an outline form with items grouped under other items. The levels of the outline are indicated by successive levels of indentation.
The items in the list are themselves composed of entries arranged in columns. The ColumnListView displays a bar containing the column headings. The user may drag the columns to reorder or resize them, and those user actions affect all item entries in the column.
If a ColumnListView is specified to be hierarchical at construction, it will behave like a BOutlineListView. Otherwise, it will behave like a BListView. In a hierarchical ColumnListView, if an item has other items under it--that is, if the immediately following item in the list is at a deeper level of the outline--it is a superitem; the items grouped under it are its subitems. Superitems are marked by a triangular icon or latch, in the usual interface for hypertext lists. Note that simply adding an item at a level deeper than the preceding item does not automatically make the preceding item a superitem. Superitems should be set as such when they are constructed, or should be set as such using CLVListItem::SetSuperItem(). It is important that a sensible outline structure be maintained. AddItem() and AddList() respect the superitem and level status of the items being added, and therefore allow improper outline structures to be created. This is allowed because it is assumed that the structure will be corrected through the addition of another item or items with the appropriate properties and in the proper position. Expand(), Collapse(), and SortItems() will give bizarre behavior if the outline is not structured properly. These functions can be invoked by user actions, so it is very important not to leave the outline structure in an incorrect state with the window's BLooper unlocked.
The user can collapse or expand sections of the outline by manipulating the latch. When a section is collapsed, only the superitem for that section is visible (and the latch points to the superitem). All items that follow the superitem are hidden, up to the next item that's not at a deeper outline level. When a section is expanded, subitems are visible (and the latch points downward).
The ColumnListView class inherits much of its functionality from the BListView class. However, in a hierarchical ColumnListView, those inherited functions are concerned only with the expanded sections of the list, not with sections that are hidden because they're collapsed. If an inherited function returns an index or takes an index as an argument, the index counts just the items that are shown on-screen (or could be shown on-screen if they were scrolled into the visible region of the view). DoForEach() skips items that can't be displayed. CountItems() counts items only in the expanded sections of the list. For non-hierarchical ColumnListViews, it is best to use these functions to manipulate the list, as you would for a BListView. These functions are documented in BListView.
However, ColumnListView implements the extra functions that the BOutlineListView class itself defines to deal with all sections of the list, expanded or collapsed. For these functions, an index counts all items in the list, whether visible or not.
The class defines some functions that match those it inherits, but its versions prefix FullList... to the function name and don't ignore any items. For example, FullListCountItems() counts every item in the list and FullListDoForEach() doesn't skip items in collapsed sections.

Can be implemented to find out when the column order has been changed, usually by the user dragging a column into a new position. | |

Can be implemented to find out when the sorting keys, order or mode changes. |
ColumnListView(BRect frame, CLVContainerView** containerView, const char* name = NULL, uint32 resizingMode = B_FOLLOW_LEFT | B_FOLLOW_TOP, uint32 flags = B_WILL_DRAW | B_FRAME_EVENTS | B_NAVIGABLE, list_view_type type = B_SINGLE_SELECTION_LIST, bool hierarchical = false, bool horizontal = true, bool vertical = true, bool scroll_view_corner = true, border_style border = B_NO_BORDER, const BFont* labelFont = be_plain_font) ColumnListView(BMessage *archive) /*Not implemented*/
Initializes the ColumnListView. As is indirectly the case for any BScrollView, the frame rectangle will not be the border of the entire ColumnListView. It will be the border of the ColumnListView itself and column header sections only. If scrollbars and/or a border are requested, the whole ColumnListView (actually the container view) will be larger than the frame rectangle. A ColumnListView should not itself be added directly as a child in a BView hierarchy. Instead, containerView is used to return a pointer to a CLVContainerView that holds the ColumnListView. containerView may not be NULL. This container view should be added to the view hierarchy as if it were the ColumnListView itself. The reason for this is ColumnListView inherits from BListView, so that the BListView and ColumnListView functions can be further overridden by custom classes that may inherit from ColumnListView. A result of this structure is that the column header view is actually a sibling, not a child, of the ColumnListView. Thus it is necessary for the column header view and main list view to be contained in another view, the container view. This container view is a BScrollView, which will also contain the horizontal and vertical scroll bars and border, if they are requested. If no scroll bars or border is requested, the BScrollView simply acts like a container BView. It may have made more sense to have ColumnListView inherit from BScrollView, so that the object created by the ColumnListView constructor would be the whole ColumnListView, however then BListView would have been a member of ColumnListView, making it impossible for classes that inherit from ColumnListView to override the BListView functions, and making BListView's list manipulation functions less accessible.
resizingMode and flags are what you would expect for any BView.
type is the same as for a BListView: B_SINGLE_SELECTION_LIST or B_MULTIPLE_SELECTION_LIST.
horizontal and vertical are used to specify whether horizontal and/or vertical scroll bars should be provided. If scroll bars are provided, it is not necessary for their ranges and proportions to be maintained by the program, as that function is handled by ColumnListView.
border is used to request a border around the ColumnListView and its scrollbars if applicable. The normal border style constants B_NO_BORDER, B_PLAIN_BORDER, and B_FANCY_BORDER apply.
labelFont is used to specify the font used in the column headers. The column headers will be sized vertically to accommodate the requested font.
Construction from an archive is currently not implemented. It isn't high on my priorities, since archival is not something I'm making use of. If someone needs this functionality and fills it in, please send me the modified code so that others can benefit from it.

virtual CLVContainerView* CreateContainer(bool horizontal, bool vertical, bool scroll_view_corner, border_style border, uint32 resizing_mode, uint32 flags)
Creates the container which will hold the ColumnListView. This can be overridden by derived classes which want to create a container which is itself derived from CLVContainerView, but with specialized behavior beyond the normal CLVContainerView implementation.
virtual ~ColumnListView()
Removes all CLVColumns from the ColumnListView and deletes them. Once a CLVColumn has been added to a ColumnListView, the program need not worry about deleting it - it is handled automatically. However, that is not the case if the program removes a column from the ColumnListView using RemoveColumn(). If a column is removed, deletion of the CLVColumn is again the program's responsibility.
As is the case for any BListView, CLVListItems are not deleted automatically when the ColumnListView is deleted.
As for any BView, deleting a ColumnListView while it is part of a view hierarchy is an error. Remove the container view, not the ColumnListView from the hierarchy before deleting it. Once the container view has been removed from the view hierarchy, deleting the ColumnListView also deletes the container view, as the container view was created during construction of the ColumnListView. If the container view has been added to a view hierarchy and the window is deleted, or the container view is otherwise deleted automatically, the peculiar situation arises where the container view itself invokes deletion of the ColumnListView. This is not a problem, as ColumnListView knows how to deal with the situation.
virtual bool AddColumn(CLVColumn* column)
Adds a column. It will be added at the end of the column list. Columns are always identified by the order in which they are added to the ColumnListView. However, the indices are always contiguous from 0-N, so if a column is removed, it will change the index by which the columns which followed it are referred to. For example, if a list had three columns with indices 0, 1, 2, but column 0 is removed, the indices of the remaining columns (formerly 1, 2) will be 0, 1. The order in which the columns are displayed is available through DisplayOrder() , and can be set using SetDisplayOrder() , but the display order is used solely for display - never for identification of the columns. A column may only be added to one ColumnListView at a time, and never more than once to the same ColumnListView without removing it inbetween using RemoveColumn() or RemoveColumns(). Expander columns may only be added to a hierarchical ColumnListView, and only one Expander column may be added to a ColumnListView.
See also: the CLVColumn constructor, AddColumnList(), CountColumns(), ColumnAt(), IndexOfColumn(), RemoveColumn().
virtual bool AddColumnList(BList* newColumns)
Adds a list of columns. They will be added at the end of the column list. Columns are always identified by the order in which they are added to the ColumnListView. However, the indices are always contiguous from 0-N, so if a column is removed, it will change the index by which the columns which followed it are referred to. For example, if a list had three columns with indices 0, 1, 2, but column 0 is removed, the indices of the remaining columns (formerly 1, 2) will be 0, 1. The order in which the columns are displayed is available through DisplayOrder() , and can be set using SetDisplayOrder() , but the display order is used solely for display - never for identification of the columns. A column may only be added to one ColumnListView at a time, and never more than once to the same ColumnListView without removing it inbetween using RemoveColumn() or RemoveColumns(). Expander columns may only be added to a hierarchical ColumnListView, and only one Expander column may be added to a ColumnListView.
See also: the CLVColumn constructor, AddColumn()
virtual bool AddItem(BListItem *item) virtual bool AddItem(BListItem *item, int32 index) virtual bool AddUnder(BListItem *item, BListItem *superitem)
These functions add an item to the list. AddItem() adds the item at index--where the index counts all items assigned to the ColumnListView--or, if an index isn't specified, at the end of the list. The two versions of this function override their BListView counterparts to ensure that the item is correctly entered into the outline in a hierarchical ColumnListView. If the item is added to a portion of the list that is collapsed, it won't be visible.
AddUnder() adds an item immediately after another item in the list and at one outline level deeper. The level of the item is modified accordingly. Thus, the item already in the list becomes the superitem for the newly added item. If its new superitem is collapsed or is in a collapsed part of the list, the item will not be visible. AddUnder() only works for hierarchical ColumnListViews.
Unlike AddUnder(), AddItem() respects the outline level of the item, and therefore will allow improper outline structures to be created. This is allowed because it is assumed that the structure will be corrected through the addition of another item or items with the appropriate properties and in the proper position. Expand(), Collapse(), and SortItems() will give bizarre behavior if the outline is not structured properly. These functions can be invoked by user actions, so it is very important not to leave the outline structure in an incorrect state with the window's BLooper unlocked.
Adding an item does not automatically sort the list. If necessary, call SortItems() once the items have been added.
Sorting the items will rearrange their positions and therefore change their indices, so it is best to refer to items by a CLVListItem* rather than by index.
Even though these functions take a BListItem*, the items must actually be CLVListItems.
See also: BListView::AddItem(),BOutlineListView::AddUnder(), the CLVListItem class
virtual bool AddList(BList *newItems) virtual bool AddList(BList *newItems, int32 index)
Adds a group of items to the list just as AddItem() adds a single item. The index counts all items assigned to the ColumnListView. The newItems BList must contain pointers to CLVListItem objects. AddList() respects the outline level of the item, and therefore will allow improper outline structures to be created. This is allowed because it is assumed that the structure will be corrected through the addition of another item or items with the appropriate properties and in the proper position. Expand(), Collapse(), and SortItems() will give bizarre behavior if the outline is not structured properly. These functions can be invoked by user actions, so it is very important not to leave the outline structure in an incorrect state with the window's BLooper unlocked.
Adding a list does not automatically sort the list. If necessary, call SortItems() once the items have been added.
See also: BListView::AddList()
void AddScrollViewCorner()
Adds a filler view between the horizontal and vertical scroll bars. If you use both horizonal and vertical scroll bars, and the ColumnListView isn't set into the lower right corner of a B_DOCUMENT_WINDOW, then you'll need this to avoid having a hole in your view hierarchy that will leave graphic fragments.
virtual status_t Archive(BMessage *archive, bool deep = true) const
Currently not implemented. It isn't high on my priorities, since archival is not something I'm making use of. If someone needs this functionality and fills it in, please send me the modified code so that others can benefit from it.
See also: BListView::Archive(), Instantiate() static function
void Collapse(CLVListItem *item) void Expand(CLVListItem *item)
These functions collapse and expand the section of the list controlled by the item superitem. If item isn't a superitem, it is nevertheless flagged as expanded or collapsed so that it will behave appropriately in case it does become a superitem.
See also: CLVListItem::SetExpanded()
CLVColumn* ColumnAt(int32 column_index) const
Returns the column at the specified index in the ColumnListView.
See also: AddColumn()
virtual void ColumnWidthChanged(int32 columnIndex, float newWidth)
Used to find out when a column's width has been changed, usually by the user dragging a resize handle, although ColumnWidthChanged() is called by CLVColumn::SetWidth() regardless of whether the width was changed by the user or by the program.
See also: CLVColumn::SetWidth()
int32 CountColumns() const
Returns the number of columns that have been added to the ColumnListView.
See also: AddColumn()
virtual void DisplayOrderChanged(const int32* order)
Used to find out when the display order of the columns has been changed, usually by the user dragging a column to a new position. order points to an array of int32's the same length as the number of columns. The array will contain the indices of the columns in the order in which they are displayed. For example, if columns A,B,C are identified by indices 0,1,2, and are displayed in the order B,C,A, the order array will contain the numbers 1,2,0.
See also: DisplayOrder()
int32 FullListCountItems(void) const int32 FullListCurrentSelection(int32 index = 0) const CLVListItem *FullListFirstItem(void) const CLVListItem *FullListLastItem(void) const int32 FullListIndexOf(BPoint point) const int32 FullListIndexOf(CLVListItem *item) const CLVListItem *FullListItemAt(int32 index) const bool FullListHasItem(CLVListItem *item) const bool FullListIsEmpty(void) const void FullListDoForEach(bool (*func)(CLVListItem *)) void FullListDoForEach(bool (*func)(CLVListItem *, void *), void *)
These functions parallel a similar set of functions defined in the BListView class. The BListView functions have identical names, but without the FullList... prefix. When applied to a ColumnListView object, the inherited functions consider only items in sections of the outline that can be displayed on-screen--that is, they skip over items in collapsed portions of the list if the ColumnListView is hierarchical.
These ColumnListView functions, on the other hand, consider all items in the list. For example, IndexOf() and FullListIndexOf() both return an index to a given item. However, for IndexOf() the index is to the position of the item in the list that can be currently displayed, but for FullListIndexOf() it's to the item's position in the full list, including collapsed sections.
These functions should only be used for hierarchical ColumnListViews.
int32 FullListNumberOfSubitems(const CLVListItem* item) const
In a hierarchical ColumnListView, counts the number of subitems contained under the specified item.
This function should only be used for hierarchical ColumnListViews.
int32 IndexOfColumn(CLVColumn* column) const
Returns the index of the specified column in the ColumnListView.
See also: AddColumn()
bool IsExpanded(int32 index) const
Returns true if the item at index is marked as controlling an expanded section of the list, and false if it's marked as controlling a collapsed section or if there's no item at that index. If a superitem is expanded, the ColumnListView can display its subitems; if not, the subitems are hidden.
The index passed to this function is the position in the full list of items assigned to the ColumnListView.
See also: BListItem::IsExpanded()
virtual void KeyDown(const char *bytes, int32 numBytes)
Augments the inherited version of KeyDown() to allow users to navigate the outline hierarchy using the arrow keys and to expand or collapse sections of the outline using Control-arrow key combinations.
See also: BListView::KeyDown()
virtual void MakeEmpty(void)
Overrides the BListView version of MakeEmpty() to remove all items from the list. The BListView version of this function won't work on a hierarchical ColumnListView.
See also: BListView::MakeEmpty()
virtual void MouseDown(BPoint point)
Augments the inherited version of MouseDown() to permit users to expand and collapse sections of the outline by clicking on an item's latch.
See also: BView::MouseDown()
virtual bool RemoveColumn(CLVColumn* column) virtual bool RemoveColumns(CLVColumn* column, int32 count)
These functions remove one or more columns from the ColumnListView. Removal of a column will change the index by which the columns which followed it are referred to. For example, if a list had three columns with indices 0, 1, 2, but column 0 is removed, the indices of the remaining columns (formerly 1, 2) will be 0, 1.
See also: CLVColumn, AddColumn(), AddColumns()
virtual bool RemoveItem(BListItem *item) virtual CLVListItem *RemoveItem(int32 index) virtual bool RemoveItems(int32 index, int32 count)
These functions work like their BListView counterparts, except that:
Note: The BListView versions of these functions will not produce reliable results when applied to a hierarchical ColumnListView, even if the item being removed is in an expanded section of the list and is not a superitem.
See also: BListView::RemoveItem()
virtual bool SetDisplayOrder(const int32* order) int32* DisplayOrder() const
Sets or returns the display order of the columns. The order array and the array returned by DisplayOrder() should point to an array of int32's the same length as the number of columns. The array will contain the indices of the columns in the order in which they are displayed. For example, if columns A,B,C are identified by indices 0,1,2, and are displayed in the order B,C,A, the order array should contain the numbers 1,2,0. Overriding SetDisplayOrder will not inform you of changes to the column order caused by the user dragging a column. To find out about all changes to column order, override DisplayOrderChanged(). Note that SetDisplayOrder() also calls DisplayOrderChanged(), so DisplayOrderChanged() is the most appropriate place for the program to keep track of the display order (saving the order for the next time a document is loaded, for example).
The order array returned by DisplayOrder() will belong to the program, and must be freed using delete[] once the program is done with it.
See also: CLVColumn, DisplayOrderChanged()
void SetSortFunction(CLVCompareFuncPtr compare)
Sets the function used in sorting the list. The sorting function should be defined as follows:
int CompareFunc(const CLVListItem* item1, const CLVListItem* item2, int32 sort_key)
The compare function should return a negative number if the first item is ordered before the second, a positive number if the second comes before the first, and 0 if the two items are ordered equivalently. compare should assume ascending order, and should perform the comparison using the column specified in the sort_key argument as the sort key.
See also: SortItems()
virtual void SetSortKey(int32 columnIndex) virtual void AddSortKey(int32 columnIndex)
Sets the column used as the key for sorting items. columnIndex is based on the order in which the columns were added to the ColumnListView, not the display order. Set the sort key to -1 to eliminate sorting. AddSortKey adds a secondary sort key to be used for further sorting of items which are sorted equivalently by the primary sort key. Any number of secondary sort keys may be added.
See also: SortItems() , SetSortFunction(), SetSortMode()
virtual void SetSortMode(int32 columnIndex,CLVSortMode mode) void ReverseSortMode(int32 columnIndex) int32 Sorting(int32* sortKeys,CLVSortMode* sortModes) const void SetSorting(int32 numberOfKeys, int32* sortKeys, CLVSortMode* sortModes) virtual void SortingChanged()
SetSortMode() sets the sort mode used for sorting items in the ColumnListView. The sort modes are NoSort, Ascending, and Descending. Note: sorting will only occur if the key column is shown. Also, setting a sort mode won't cause sorting to occur on the given column; the column must be selected as a sort key as well. ReverseSortMode() toggles through the three sort modes, calling SetSortMode() to accomplish this. Sorting() returns the number of used sort keys, and fills the provided array with the sort keys, in priority order. The sortKeys pointer should point to an array int sortKeys[n], where n is the number of sortable columns in the ColumnListView, and the entries in the array are column indices in priority order, so the first entry is the column index of the primary sorting column, and so on. Likewise, sortModes should point to an array CLVSortMode sortModes[n], where n is the same as for sortKeys, and the mode at sortModes[0] applies to the column whose index is indicated in sortKeys[0], and so on. SetSorting() is used to set all sort keys and modes in the same format as returned by Sorting(). SetSortMode() should be overridden in order to filter out particular sort modes. This typically should not be necessary. Override SortingChanged() to detect changes to the sorting keys, order or mode.
See also: SortItems() , SetSortFunction(), SetSortKey()
void SortItems()
Rearranges the items in the list. The items are sorted using the compareFunc comparison function and the isTrue functions set using SetSortFunction(). Using the results returned by compareFunc and istrue, and based on the sort key, sort mode, bool group key and bool group mode the user has selected, the sorting will be performed. In a non-hierarchical ColumnListView, a plain linear sort of the list will be performed. In a hierarchical ColumnListView, the outermost level will be sorted as specified, then for each item which is a superitem, the contents will be sorted accordingly, and so on so that the outline hierarchy is maintained through the sort.
Sorting the items will rearrange their positions and therefore change their indices, so it is best to refer to items by a CLVListItem* rather than by index.
See also: SetSortFunction(), SetSortKey(), SetSortMode(), Items(), BList::SortItems()
CLVListItem *Superitem(const CLVListItem *item)
Returns the superitem for the item passed as an argument--that is, the item under which the argument item is grouped--or NULL if the item is at the outermost level of the outline (level 0) or isn't in the list.

LAST ACTION HERO A film review by Jon Webb Copyright 1993 Jon Webb
I'd heard this film was "Goddard-esque" -- a commentary of film-making. But I found it to be a mess. It is neither a parody of action films nor an action film itself; it is something in between, and it fails at making you care about any of the characters, hence making the movie itself of little interest.
Schwarzenegger plays a movie character who is idolized by a young boy. The boy magically gets transported into the action film itself, which is a parody of action films with ridiculous coincidences and cardboard characters.
The thing is, you're supposed to be laughing at the obviousness of the action film inside the film while still caring about the relationship between Schwarzenegger and the young boy. But you can't do both.
The movie also contains a lot of references to other films, including brief cameos by people from other cop films set in L.A. (for example, Sharon Stone), an outrageous L.A. police station with women in S&M outfits, inside jokes (like having Joan Plowright introduce Laurence Olivier's HAMLET), and self-directed humor like Schwarzenegger appear in the film as himself promoting some store he has a business interest in.

LinkX has a built in feature that will allow you to manage advertisements that can be displayed on your link directory pages. This document will give an overview of how to add, update, and delete advertisements through the control panel interface.
The ad.php script
The ad.php script can be used if you want to track the clicks that your advertisements receive. The first thing you need to do is edit the ad.php script to setup it's variables. Open the ad.php file in a text editor (EditPlus is recommended for Windows users) and locate the $USERNAME variable at the top of the file. You will see something similar to the following:
Searching Advertisements
To search the current advertisements you have configured so you can modify or delete them, access the Settings > Manage Advertisements function from the control panel menu. This will display a page where you will be able to see and search the current advertisements you have configured. All of the database fields that you can search use the software's Standard Search function with the exception of the Tags field which uses the Boolean Search feature. In the table that displays the advertisements, you will find a couple of functions that you can run on a single advertisement at a time. Those functions are described below.
| Click this icon to edit the advertisement. A window will appear where you will be able to edit all of the advertisement settings. | |
| Click this icon to delete this advertisement. |
Adding an Advertisement
To add a new advertisement, access the Settings > Manage Advertisements function from the control panel menu. Near the top of the page in the header bar that reads "Manage Advertisements" click on the icon. This will display a popup window where you will be able to enter the advertisement information that you want to use. Each of the form fields are described below.
| Weight | The weight value to assign to this advertisement. The weight value can be any whole number from -2147483648 to<PHONE_NUMBER>. Ad weight values only come into play if you are using the weight attribute of the {ad} template function OR the weight sorting option in the order setting of the {ad} template function. |
| Raw Clicks | This is the number of raw clicks that the advertisement has received. You will generally want to set this to 0 when you are adding a new advertisement. |
| Unique Clicks | This is the number of unique clicks that the advertisement has received. You will generally want to set this to 0 when you are adding a new advertisement. |
| Tags | A space separated list of tags for this advertisement. Tags can be used in the {ad} template function to control which advertisements are selected for display. |
| Ad URL | Enter the full URL to which this advertisment will be linking |
| Ad HTML |
Enter the complete HTML code for this advertisement. Note that if you reference image files in this HTML code, the images will already need
to exist on your server. Use a full HTTP URL for your images to make sure they display correctly on all pages.
Template Values The Ad HTML has a few template values that you can use:
{$ad.ad_url} - The Ad URL that you entered for this advertisement {$config.base_url} - LinkX installation URL {$config.from_email} - E-mail Address setting {$config.from_email_name} - E-mail Name setting {$config.date_format} - Date Format setting {$config.time_format} - Time Format setting {$config.timezone} - Timezone setting {$config.dec_point} - Decimal Point setting {$config.thousands_sep} - Thousands Separator setting |
Advertisement Click Tracking
To have the clicks on your advertisements tracked by LinkX, it is necessary to do a bit of customization to your advertisement HTML code. You should also make sure that the ad.php script has been configured as described at the top of this document.
For an example, assume you have the following HTML code that you want to use for one of your advertisements:

 Our site uses scripts from JMB Software! As you can see, the code simply links directly to http://www.jmbsoft.com/r/username/ which will not track the clicks. You will need to replace that URL with a link to the ad.php script (the script that will track the clicks on your advertisements). The basic format that the ad.php script expects to be called as is:

Our site uses scripts from JMB Software!

Note that the only thing changed in the HTML code is the link. Instead of linking directly to the site, the link now goes through the ad.php script
and passes it both the Ad ID and the Ad URL so it can track the click and forward the surfer to the correct site.
Editing an Advertisement
To edit an advertisement you will first need to locate it through the Manage Advertisements interface. When you locate the advertisement you want to edit, click on the icon to bring up the advertisement editing interface. This interface is nearly identical to the advertisement creation interface, and has the same form fields with the same properties. You can make the changes that you want, and then press the Update Advertisement button to save your changes.
Deleting an Advertisement
To delete an advertisement you will first need to locate it through the Manage advertisements interface. When you locate the advertisement you want to delete, click on the icon, which will ask you to confirm the deletion.
Displaying Advertisments on Your Link Directory Pages
To display the advertisements you have configured through the control panel interface, you will use the {ad} template function. This template function (as well as all of the other template functions) is described in detail in the Directory Templates section of this manual.


Code of ethics being developed to assist social enterprises
GOVERNMENT is developing the draft of a code of ethics to help entrepreneurs conduct business with honesty and integrity, in an effort to improve the earning potential of social enterprises in Jamaica.
Speaking at a Global Entrepreneurship Week Social Enterprise Expo at Spanish Court Hotel in New Kingston on Monday, minister of state in the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries Floyd Green said, “consultations are being done on all the draft documents that we have put in place”.
“We're developing a draft code of ethics, operating criteria, core values for the sector and proposed benefits for all [involved in social enterprises]. We've already done one [consultation] in Kingston, one in Mandeville and we are moving to Montego Bay this December,” the state minister said. He added that the Government is aiming to have a clear framework, legislative change and implementation of the code of ethics in 2020.
“When I say the Government is serious about social enterprise, we're not only talking the talk, we are trying our best to walk the walk, and were drawing from our partners like the United Kingdom that have really shown how well you liberate the social enterprise movement and how that can move an economy,” Green said.
The state minister noted that Jamaica now has a social enterprise framework, and five local social enterprises are listed on the Stock Exchange market.
The expo was hosted in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information; the British Council; the Victoria Mutual (VM) Foundation and the Global Shapers Kingston Hub.
The goal of the expo was to showcase the work of entrepreneurial students from across the island, and to stage motivational sessions with entrepreneurs.

St. Tibb's Day All But Forgotten
|
Today marks the occasional celebration of St. Tibb's Day,
which appears on the Discordian Calendar between 59 Chaos and
60 Chaos, or February 29, Gregorian. According to Robert
Anton Wilson, "everybody now agrees that St. Tibb never existed."
We cannot see how he can jump to such a conclusion. Clearly the 16th
century copperplate engraving here strengthens our case.

German Cocks Not So Glorious
From: M. Lance Tavana
Subject: Re: German Cocks
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 12:55:18 -0800
Your report on the Daily Rotten that "A study has reported that German
condoms are not large enough for glorious German cocks" is incorrect. In
fact, it was found that the condoms were too big for german cocks, as given
by the Reuters press release [...]
We stand corrected, the German Volk are indeed smaller in the manhood
department than we previously reported. We issue a retraction.
Details: Condomi produced the study, demonstrating that EN600
(EU document produced by physicians, in 1996), issued regulations for thick
penii, whereas those in the Fatherland are 3.5-4mm narrower. It is
thus a matter of thin wieners. (Focus Magazine).

Sex In Space
|
Sex has been tried in space, both on the American space shuttle
and Soviet missions, according to a press report in the UK.
Pierre Kohler, astronomer and historian, claims that documents
in his possession, including "NASA document number 12-571-3570",
demonstrate a gauntlet of ten tests of sexual positions and
variations, performed inside an inflatable tunnel for privacy.
[Was it a ribbed tunnel, for her pleasure?]
Kohler also claims that female British astronaut Helen Sharman
fucked four cosmonauts in 1991 aboard the Mir space station,
and that cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaia sex'd several cosmonauts
on the Salyut-7 station in 1982. They got the U.S. beat there,
unless John Glenn wanked or something on his mission.

Tabloid: Don Johnson a Big Fag
|
According to The Globe, admittedly a rather sleazy supermarket
tabloid, actor Don Johnson is a big gay homosexual. On a 1998
trip to a San Francisco video store, accompanied by a 20ish boy, the actor
rented "Cop Daddies Playtime", and "Asian Studs", spent $130 on dildonica,
and purchased various harness toys, for a grand total over $600. Oddly,
purchases included a blowup doll of Christy Canyon, a female porn
star, so we haven't quite figured Don out. In any event, they gave the
actor a chance to respond, he claimed these purchases were for a bachelor
party. No word on what the boy was for. [BTW, those videos are awful.]

George Michael's Favorite Cop Loses Suit

The cop who arrested George Michael has lost a $10M emotional
distress suit against the former Wham! star.  The lawsuit was
dismissed because Rodriguez is a public official, and thereby subject
to all manner of ridicule. You will of course recall that Michael was
arrested in April 1998 for wanking in front of Rodriguez, an
undercover police officer, thereby making the singer subject to
all manner of public ridicule as well.

UK Serial Killer Record Set
|
The end of January saw the conviction of
Dr. Harold Frederick Shipman, Manchester area family
practitioner, who apparently took a disliking to several of his
patients. A rather strong disliking to about 150 of them. The
conviction only covered about ten percent of these, all murdered
with morphine, but Shipman long had a very high death rate and
prodigious prescriptions of the narcotic issued by his hand.
His antics exceed those of other English serial killers:
Dennis Nilson (killed 16 homosexuals); Yorkshire Ripper
(killed 13 women with hand tools); Jack the Ripper (not even on
the charts.) Only time will tell if anyone has the testicular
fortitude to top this feat of English persistence.

Teaching Our Kids to be Narqs
|
|
Wave America, Inc., or "Working Against Violence Everywhere",
is publicizing a phone number for school children to call if
they witness threats of violence, etc. But that etc
includes if you know someone who "is picked on or made fun of",
suddenly has "little interest in school", is "intolerant",
or "gets angry really often". Plus "Anything Else Harmful to
You or Your School"! Toll free, completely confidential.
Yes, we can breed a nation of narqs. I'm proud to be
an American. Orwell would be proud too, even though he's English.

  Said Hendry after the performance,
"I got a bit carried away and used 18 staples, 10 through the scrotum. It
was a wee bit tender the next day." His mother, in the audience, commented
"My son is a grown man and he wanted to do it." I suppose. The television station
in question is state owned, and we must applaud them for this, while simultanously
questioning Hendry's sanity. And no, we haven't received the video for this.

Drive-by Wanker At Large
|
A man in the Philadelphia area is performing drive-by wankings at McDonald's
and Dunkin' Donuts fast food establishments, police said. The latest incident
involved a wanking at a McDonalds drive-though, but not the customary throwing
of semen at the clerk, as has occurred in previous wank-by's. In another
instance, the man, an apparently well-endowed black male, was accompanied by
a child. Yet another, at a donut eatery, the wank was caught on videotape.

During a session at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, comedian
Jerry Lewis was asked if he had a favorite female comedienne.
Not only did he not name a favorite, his answer was that
"A woman doing comedy doesn't offend me, but sets me back
a bit. I, as a viewer, have trouble with it. I think of her
as a producing machine that brings babies in the world."
Oh, Jerry!  What do the French see in you anyway?

RibFest backs credit union
by Wayne MooreOrganizers of Kelowna's annual RibFest have come out in support of their title sponsor following a staged protest by animal rights activists earlier this week.
"We thank Interior Savings for their support of our RibFest event over the past four years," said RibFest organizer Chris Murphy with the Rotary Club of Kelowna - Sunrise.
"With their help, and the help of every visitor to the event, we raise funds that benefit our community. We return tens of thousands of dollars to local causes, including over $40,000 to JoeAnna's House, and thousands of dollars to other Kelowna organizers like Freedom's Door, Food for Thought and Pathways Abilities."
A handful of environmental and animal activists chained themselves outside the Bernard Avenue branch of Interior Savings Credit Union Monday morning, protesting the financial institution's role in RibFest.
They said animal agriculture contributes to climate change, and showcased videos claiming to show animal abuse at Excelsior Hog farm in Abbotsford. The group raided the farm in the summer.
"By sponsoring Ribfest, Interior Savings is paying for these animal atrocities to take place," the group said.
Those who chained themselves outside the front doors, preventing the bank from opening, were eventually arrested.
Meanwhile, Murphy says RibFest raised more than $78,000 for charities this year.


Debugging memory leaks¶
In Scrapy, objects such as Requests, Responses and Items have a finite lifetime: they are created, used for a while, and finally destroyed.
From all those objects, the Request is probably the one with the longest lifetime, as it stays waiting in the Scheduler queue until it’s time to process it. For more info see Architecture overview.
As these Scrapy objects have a (rather long) lifetime, there is always the risk of accumulating them in memory without releasing them properly and thus causing what is known as a “memory leak”.
To help debugging memory leaks, Scrapy provides a built-in mechanism for tracking objects references called trackref, and you can also use a third-party library called Guppy for more advanced memory debugging (see below for more info). Both mechanisms must be used from the Telnet Console.
Common causes of memory leaks¶
It happens quite often (sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose) that the
Scrapy developer passes objects referenced in Requests (for example, using the
meta
attribute or the request callback function)
and that effectively bounds the lifetime of those referenced objects to the
lifetime of the Request. This is, by far, the most common cause of memory leaks
in Scrapy projects, and a quite difficult one to debug for newcomers.
In big projects, the spiders are typically written by different people and some of those spiders could be “leaking” and thus affecting the rest of the other (well-written) spiders when they get to run concurrently, which, in turn, affects the whole crawling process.
The leak could also come from a custom middleware, pipeline or extension that
you have written, if you are not releasing the (previously allocated) resources
properly. For example, allocating resources on spider_opened
but not releasing them on spider_closed
may cause problems if
you’re running multiple spiders per process.
Too Many Requests?¶
By default Scrapy keeps the request queue in memory; it includes
Request
objects and all objects
referenced in Request attributes (e.g. in meta
).
While not necessarily a leak, this can take a lot of memory. Enabling
persistent job queue could help keeping memory usage
in control.
Debugging memory leaks with trackref
¶
trackref
is a module provided by Scrapy to debug the most common cases of
memory leaks. It basically tracks the references to all live Requests,
Responses, Item and Selector objects.
You can enter the telnet console and inspect how many objects (of the classes
mentioned above) are currently alive using the prefs()
function which is an
alias to the print_live_refs()
function:
telnet localhost 6023
>>> prefs()
Live References
ExampleSpider 1 oldest: 15s ago
HtmlResponse 10 oldest: 1s ago
Selector 2 oldest: 0s ago
FormRequest 878 oldest: 7s ago
As you can see, that report also shows the “age” of the oldest object in each
class. If you’re running multiple spiders per process chances are you can
figure out which spider is leaking by looking at the oldest request or response.
You can get the oldest object of each class using the
get_oldest()
function (from the telnet console).
Which objects are tracked?¶
The objects tracked by trackrefs
are all from these classes (and all its
subclasses):
scrapy.http.Request
scrapy.http.Response
scrapy.item.Item
scrapy.selector.Selector
scrapy.spiders.Spider
A real example¶
Let’s see a concrete example of a hypothetical case of memory leaks. Suppose we have some spider with a line similar to this one:
return Request("http://www.somenastyspider.com/product.php?pid=%d" % product_id,
callback=self.parse, meta={referer: response})
That line is passing a response reference inside a request which effectively ties the response lifetime to the requests’ one, and that would definitely cause memory leaks.
Let’s see how we can discover the cause (without knowing it
a-priori, of course) by using the trackref
tool.
After the crawler is running for a few minutes and we notice its memory usage has grown a lot, we can enter its telnet console and check the live references:
>>> prefs()
Live References
SomenastySpider 1 oldest: 15s ago
HtmlResponse 3890 oldest: 265s ago
Selector 2 oldest: 0s ago
Request 3878 oldest: 250s ago
The fact that there are so many live responses (and that they’re so old) is definitely suspicious, as responses should have a relatively short lifetime compared to Requests. The number of responses is similar to the number of requests, so it looks like they are tied in a some way. We can now go and check the code of the spider to discover the nasty line that is generating the leaks (passing response references inside requests).
Sometimes extra information about live objects can be helpful. Let’s check the oldest response:
>>> from scrapy.utils.trackref import get_oldest
>>> r = get_oldest('HtmlResponse')
>>> r.url
'http://www.somenastyspider.com/product.php?pid=123'
If you want to iterate over all objects, instead of getting the oldest one, you
can use the scrapy.utils.trackref.iter_all()
function:
>>> from scrapy.utils.trackref import iter_all
>>> [r.url for r in iter_all('HtmlResponse')]
['http://www.somenastyspider.com/product.php?pid=123',
'http://www.somenastyspider.com/product.php?pid=584',
...
Too many spiders?¶
If your project has too many spiders executed in parallel,
the output of prefs()
can be difficult to read.
For this reason, that function has a ignore
argument which can be used to
ignore a particular class (and all its subclases). For
example, this won’t show any live references to spiders:
>>> from scrapy.spiders import Spider
>>> prefs(ignore=Spider)
scrapy.utils.trackref module¶
Here are the functions available in the trackref
module.
-
class
scrapy.utils.trackref.
object_ref
¶ Inherit from this class (instead of object) if you want to track live instances with the
trackref
module.
-
scrapy.utils.trackref.
print_live_refs
(class_name, ignore=NoneType)¶ Print a report of live references, grouped by class name.
Parameters: ignore (class or classes tuple) – if given, all objects from the specified class (or tuple of classes) will be ignored.
-
scrapy.utils.trackref.
get_oldest
(class_name)¶ Return the oldest object alive with the given class name, or
None
if none is found. Useprint_live_refs()
first to get a list of all tracked live objects per class name.
-
scrapy.utils.trackref.
iter_all
(class_name)¶ Return an iterator over all objects alive with the given class name, or
None
if none is found. Useprint_live_refs()
first to get a list of all tracked live objects per class name.
Debugging memory leaks with Guppy¶
trackref
provides a very convenient mechanism for tracking down memory
leaks, but it only keeps track of the objects that are more likely to cause
memory leaks (Requests, Responses, Items, and Selectors). However, there are
other cases where the memory leaks could come from other (more or less obscure)
objects. If this is your case, and you can’t find your leaks using trackref
,
you still have another resource: the Guppy library.
If you’re using Python3, see Debugging memory leaks with muppy.
If you use pip
, you can install Guppy with the following command:
pip install guppy
The telnet console also comes with a built-in shortcut (hpy
) for accessing
Guppy heap objects. Here’s an example to view all Python objects available in
the heap using Guppy:
>>> x = hpy.heap()
>>> x.bytype
Partition of a set of 297033 objects. Total size = 52587824 bytes.
Index Count % Size % Cumulative % Type
0 22307 8 16423880 31 16423880 31 dict
1 122285 41 12441544 24 28865424 55 str
2 68346 23 5966696 11 34832120 66 tuple
3 227 0 5836528 11 40668648 77 unicode
4 2461 1 2222272 4 42890920 82 type
5 16870 6 2024400 4 44915320 85 function
6 13949 5 1673880 3 46589200 89 types.CodeType
7 13422 5 1653104 3 48242304 92 list
8 3735 1 1173680 2 49415984 94 _sre.SRE_Pattern
9 1209 0 456936 1 49872920 95 scrapy.http.headers.Headers
<1676 more rows. Type e.g. '_.more' to view.>
You can see that most space is used by dicts. Then, if you want to see from which attribute those dicts are referenced, you could do:
>>> x.bytype[0].byvia
Partition of a set of 22307 objects. Total size = 16423880 bytes.
Index Count % Size % Cumulative % Referred Via:
0 10982 49 9416336 57 9416336 57 '.__dict__'
1 1820 8 2681504 16 12097840 74 '.__dict__', '.func_globals'
2 3097 14 1122904 7 13220744 80
3 990 4 277200 2 13497944 82 "['cookies']"
4 987 4 276360 2 13774304 84 "['cache']"
5 985 4 275800 2 14050104 86 "['meta']"
6 897 4 251160 2 14301264 87 '[2]'
7 1 0 196888 1 14498152 88 "['moduleDict']", "['modules']"
8 672 3 188160 1 14686312 89 "['cb_kwargs']"
9 27 0 155016 1 14841328 90 '[1]'
<333 more rows. Type e.g. '_.more' to view.>
As you can see, the Guppy module is very powerful but also requires some deep knowledge about Python internals. For more info about Guppy, refer to the Guppy documentation.
Debugging memory leaks with muppy¶
If you’re using Python 3, you can use muppy from Pympler.
If you use pip
, you can install muppy with the following command:
pip install Pympler
Here’s an example to view all Python objects available in the heap using muppy:
>>> from pympler import muppy
>>> all_objects = muppy.get_objects()
>>> len(all_objects)
28667
>>> from pympler import summary
>>> suml = summary.summarize(all_objects)
>>> summary.print_(suml)

Leaks without leaks¶
Sometimes, you may notice that the memory usage of your Scrapy process will only increase, but never decrease. Unfortunately, this could happen even though neither Scrapy nor your project are leaking memory. This is due to a (not so well) known problem of Python, which may not return released memory to the operating system in some cases. For more information on this issue see:
The improvements proposed by Evan Jones, which are detailed in this paper, got merged in Python 2.5, but this only reduces the problem, it doesn’t fix it completely. To quote the paper:
Unfortunately, this patch can only free an arena if there are no more objects allocated in it anymore. This means that fragmentation is a large issue. An application could have many megabytes of free memory, scattered throughout all the arenas, but it will be unable to free any of it. This is a problem experienced by all memory allocators. The only way to solve it is to move to a compacting garbage collector, which is able to move objects in memory. This would require significant changes to the Python interpreter.
To keep memory consumption reasonable you can split the job into several smaller jobs or enable persistent job queue and stop/start spider from time to time.
