Metro will be conducting a live internet chat regarding the upcoming full freeway closure of the I-405, also dubbed Carmageddon II, this Friday (today) from noon to 1 p.m. L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky will answer questions and collect suggestions about the upcoming I-405 freeway closure.
To join live or access the web chat go to www.metro.net between noon and 1 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 21. You can also send questions in advance of the chat to email@example.com.

During the closure, the north side of the Mulholland Bridge will be demolished. When finished, the bridge will be about 10 feet wider and seismically retrofitted to the latest standards. It will be the third bridge demolished and reconstructed in order to widen the 405 Freeway and add a northbound carpool lane through the Sepulveda Pass.
Metro has also posted a webpage to promote the "Eat, Shop and Play Locally" campaign geared toward residents and business owners near the 405 who will be impacted that weekend.
Carmageddon II impact on drivers:

- From Sept. 15 to Sept. 16, there's a full northbound directional closure from the Getty Center ramps to the U.S. 101 from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. The Mulholland Bridge will also close from that Friday at 10 p.m. to Sunday at 8 a.m. that weekend for roadway alignment and elevation adjustment.
- From Sept. 21 through Sept. 24, there will be a Mulholland Bridge traffic switch, roadway alignment and elevation adjustment. Mulholland Drive closes from that Friday at 10 p.m. to Monday at 6 a.m.
- Ramps will begin closing as early as 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28, within the freeway closure limits. Lanes will begin closing as early as 10 p.m. on Friday.
- Full closure of the I-405 begins Saturday at 12:01 a.m. The northbound I-405 is closed from the I-10 to U.S. 101. The southbound I-405 is closed from the U.S. 101 to the Getty Center Drive ramps. The Mulholland Bridge and Haskell ramps close, as well as northbound U.S. 101 connectors from the I-405.
- The I-405 is scheduled to reopen Monday, Oct. 1, at 5 a.m.

I have 2 zones each with a Honeywell zone valve. (the valves have "end switch on top and TH-TR...TH...TR on bottom) I need to know how to connect the second valve. The first valve is connected to the transformer, thermostat and aquastat and works correctly. On the second I connected to the first valve by running the wire from fist valve "end switch" to the second valve TH-TR & TR with the second thermostat connected to the TH-TR & TH. It doesn't work??? Am I correct in thinking that I don't run the second valve to the aquastat as it is going through valve 1?
Thanks for any help!
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
Yep same as what I got when I purchased the valve, still not sure what is wrong.
You are confusing "circulator or another valve" with a zone valve. That "other valve" would be the burner's gas valve or whatever turns the system on. Each zone valve needs a supply line from the transformer, and a control wire from the thermostat. This allows each zone valve to operate independently, but BOTH have to be wired in parallel from the "end switch" to the boiler's "control circuit", gas valve or circulator, depending on whether it is a constant temperature or "on demand" system.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Nope not confusing it at all! I have 2 two zone valves that i need to connect...wow

single issues...
essential or tb for older material...
Excuse me for my bad english , i've self learning it (i'm Italian)
MARVEL : Captain Marvel , Iron Man , New Avengers , Scarlet spider
Over the past year I've transitioned entirely over to the books. I prefer hardcover if there is one.
I really love collecting single issues. It's the bread and butter of my collection. There's just something therapeutic about the whole process of bagging, boarding, and cataloging a "floppy" that I really enjoy, and have since I was a kid. Sometimes, for older and more valuable (read: expensive) stuff it's just not realistic to own every issue and the collected editions are still a good way to own it.
Softcover trades. They fit in my bookbag, fold and bend for easy reading, take up less space, and display really well. Hardcover may look really nice, but they're thick, and starchy. Individual issues may get you the story quicker, but they're fragile and take too much time and care to store and read. And once that's all done, you just have cardboard boxes everywhere. I like that I can throw my trades across the room, and shrug it off, then put them on a shelf for all to see.
Last edited by Mr. Rice; 04-29-2012 at 01:49 PM. Reason: forgot the 't' on put.
Comics enjoyed by my Old Lady: Chew, IKG, Saga, JTHM, Ex Machina, Gil Kane's Green Lantern, Wormwood, NYX, Jurgen and JMS's Thor, along with a few others.
Normally singles. I wouldn't wait 6 months for a paper back to chronicle 6 issues. At the same time I'm not going to pay a stupid premium for back isses if there is a trade of it. So i guess the answer would be whatever is cheaper.
I only plan to get one or two series where i have the full set that's the only time id pay the premium for the collection part.
I used to be floppies only but I'm becoming more and more of a fan of hardcovers, and becoming more and more interested in digital
The Copper Age is my Golden Age
My 2014 1000 comic progress
Floppies. I like reading laying down and HCs or tablets aren't comfortable to hold that way. I only buy HCs for Golden/Silver Age reprints. Digital I only read the free ones.
HC, Deluxe HC, Omnibus, and digital.
The 9th Blog
A Blog made with friends about comics, the 9th art
Tumblr: Comics! Comics! Comics! ACK!
Singles and trades for past story lines.
Cheap. Cheapest format I can get them in. Otherwise single issue, trade, hardcover and digital are fine with me.
For my core series I follow it's singles. For any older arcs I want to look at or things I don't mind not reading monthly I do the trades.
I generally get my favourite super hero stuff (Superman and such) in single issues as they come out, and stuff I miss or hear good stuff about in trade later (The Girls, Love&Rockets, Transmet, Strangers in Paradise, Unwritten, etc.).
Pull List; seems to be too long to fit in my sig...
Generally softcovers, if I really liked sth hardcover, I couldn't afford ordering comics every single issue since I live in Austria...they tend to suddenly cost 6, anyway when I happen to be in a country that actually has comic book stores (mostly GB) or some friends of me are I tend to pick up oneshots.

I'm kind of a science geek. Can't really do the technical parts (I'm not so inclined with numbers), but I love seeing science in practical applications. I hated Science Fairs as a kid, mostly because I couldn't ever seem to get a cool enough project to work, but these kids are clearly a leg up on most of us.
The finalists for the Google Science fair have been announced, and let me tell you: Science Fairs have changed… dramatically.
The Finalists
The oldest finalist is 18, and the ideas are amazing. Here are just a few of the ideas coming out of the 13-14 year old bracket:
- Prosthetic Limb improvements
- A modified railroad switch that prevents derailments
- Robots that can process commands given in English
From the 15-16 year olds:
- Building a turbine that can work underwater
- How to chart the ocean landscape remotely

If you're planning on running Oracle VM with Amazon EC2, there are some important limitations you should know about.
As part of my work getting the Oracle Linux Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 2 working (yeah that's a mouthful), I tried using the Oracle-supplied Oracle Linux 6 AMI images that are listed as community AMIs by Amazon:
[marc@shakybox2 ~]$ ec2-describe-images -a --filter "name=*Oracle Linux 6*" IMAGE ami-87a076ee 936851542197/Oracle Linux 6.1 x86_64 - OVM 936851542197 available public x86_64 machine aki-4e7d9527ebs paravirtual <b>ovm</b> BLOCKDEVICEMAPPING /dev/sda snap-ea95e18e 20
The "OVM" part here is interesting. Amazon EC2 is typically set up on their own version of Xen, but this image uses a different, though similarly Xen-based, hypervisor: Oracle VM. This appears to be a result of the Oracle-Amazon partnership so touted by Larry Ellison in his OpenWorld 2010 keynote.
The AMI itself launched as expected (once I had set the instance type to large; it would seem we need the 7.5G of RAM the large instance provides!) But after the initial install, I was completely unable to use any kernel other than the 2.6.32-100.34.1.el6uek.x86_64 kernel originally supplied.
Every time the instance would be listed as running but unreachable with the console log showing a variation of
"main" "root=/dev/sda1" "ro" "4" vbd 2049 is hd0 ******************* BLKFRONT for device/vbd/2049 ********** backend at /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/313/2049 Failed to read /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/313/2049/feature-barrier. Failed to read /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/313/2049/feature-flush-cache. 41943040 sectors of 512 bytes
Since it's impossible to specify a –kernel alternate kernel option with Oracle VM hosts, I can't explicitly attach a different kernel. And the ec2-register command used to create AMI images does not have the option to create an image with the Oracle VM hypervisor at all. This Amazon FAQ document gives a clue:
Q: Can customers import Oracle Virtual Machine templates into AmazonEC2?
Oracle will distribute templates of Oracle Applications that have been produced by Oracle and approved by AWS. Customers will be able to customize these environments and save them as derivative images which also run on the Oracle Virtual Machine.
So it's possible to customize pre-made templates, but the ability to create new templates is conspicuously not mentioned. And indeed, it's possible to create a derivative image using ec2-create-image that still has an OVM hypervisor, but there's no mechanism to use a custom kernel with this command.
So the take-away here seems to be:
- It's possible to create Oracle VM-based Amazon EC2 instances, but only from Oracle-created AMIs.
- There's no mechanism to use kernels other than those bundled with the image, so there's no prospect of applying security updates unless Oracle releases a new AMI.
- Fortunately, I was able to get the Oracle Linux UEK2 kernel working with Amazon's ordinary Xen hypervisor, though there's no pre-built AMI for it. I made a separate blog post about this.
For you readers: Have any of you managed to get a successful Oracle VM-based Amazon EC2 instance working? How do you deal with the issue of kernel updates?
2 Responses to "Using Oracle VM with Amazon EC2"
Hi Marc,
I haven't tried using Amazon EC2 to install the OL UEK2 kernel yet but I find it quite interesting. I've used the public AMI's to create database instances just to see how it works. However, I've been doing beta testing using HP Cloud which uses the OpenStack framework. Since it's only in beta the number of images provided are somewhat limited but I did attempt to install UEK on the CentOS 5.4 image that they provided. That didn't work either since it just defaults to the image supplied ramdisk/kernel. I'll try the CentOS 6.2 image and see if that will work either.
[...] some blind allies getting the Oracle Linux UEK2 kernel working with Amazon EC2 and Oracle VM I found that I could make it work without Oracle VM, with with Amazon's default Xen [...]

Description: Based on Frank Miller's latest graphic novel Xerxes, and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster "300," this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield-on the sea-as Greek general Themistokles attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. This film pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes, and Artemesia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

text: I have just replaced my 1/2 main line through the house with 3/4 but I have 2 foot section left to upgrade. My question is, I have 3 inches of 3/4 line coming out of my water softner that has a 3/4 to 1/2 reducer on it. Should I cut right after the adapter and solder on 3/4 to 3/4 adapter and run from there or should I unsolder the existing 3/4 line from the water softner housing and repace with my new pipe. I hope this description is clear enough.

Well, I think I messed up. One side of shower has a regular wall mount shower head, the other side has this slide bar and the corner bench is there. The slide bar is this one and now I think the hose will hit me sitting on the bench and also the shower bar has a small shelf that I am going to bang my head on!
Should I have the handheld on the opposite side of the bench? Help please, plumber went to lunch while I figure this out.
I called the plumbing supply store and they said the elbow should be 4" below the valve and 4 inches either to the left or right. Is that for water flow purposes? If I do it that way, the showerhead will be able to hit the floor if one of the kids knock it off.
The bar/handshower is this one:http://www.grohecatalog.com/product/28574/

The Alabama Constitutional Revision Commission voted 9-7 Thursday to propose a new version of the Constitution's Section 256 – the section that mandates separate schools for "white and colored children."
If approved by the Legislature and the voters, the commission's proposal would change Section 256 to state that Alabama will "maintain a system of public schools," without any reference to segregation. The proposed wording also states that "nothing in this section shall create any judicially enforceable right."
That last phrase is a nod to a long-running debate about school funding – a debate that has already scuttled two past amendments intended to erase segregation from the Constitution.
"It's disappointing that, 50 years later, we're still not able to agree on this," said Carolyn McKinstry, a member of the commission.
State lawmakers appointed the Constitutional Revision Commission in 2011 to conduct an article-by-article revision of the Constitution of 1901, which is by far the longest state constitution in the country.
Reformers also hoped to eliminate the vestiges of racism in the document. In framing the Constitution in 1901, state leaders stated that their goal was to establish white supremacy by law. Those framers set up separate black and white school systems, and funded those schools in part through poll taxes intended to block African-Americans from voting.
That segregationist wording has had no legal force since the days of the civil rights movement, but some state leaders have said they'd like to get rid of the separate-schools passage because it's an embarrassment.
Two past attempts to change Section 256 have failed. Voters narrowly rejected a rewrite in 2004 because of concern from conservatives, who worried that the rewrite would also eliminate a passage that states that education is not a right. Opponents of the 2004 proposal said that without the "no-rights" wording, a long-undecided lawsuit could allow courts to demand equal funding in each of the state's school systems.
Reformers tried to change the passage again last year, this time leaving the "no right" wording intact. The measure was defeated soundly, this time with black leaders urging a "no" vote, on the theory that support for the change would also be a vote for the "no right" wording.
Last week's proposal appears to be an attempt to split the difference. The proposed new wording doesn't state that Alabamians have no right to an education, but it does state that "nothing in this section shall create any judicially enforceable right or obligation." It also includes a reference to Amendment 582, a measure banning state courts from requiring disbursement of state funds without approval of the Legislature.
Commission member Matt Lembke, who proposed the wording, declined comment on the matter Monday. Lembke said he had a policy of not commenting on Constitutional Commission matters outside of the commission's meetings.
McKinstry, who voted against the proposal, said she didn't expect voters to favor this wording any more than they supported last year's amendment. She said many Alabamians do in fact see school funding as inequitable, and may not want to block an equitable-funding lawsuit.
The commission also approved a set of changes to the Constitution's Declaration of Rights, the state equivalent of the Bill of Rights. According to a summary by commission staff, the members voted to add an "equal protection" clause stating that no one shall be denied protection of laws based on race, gender, sex, religion or color.
In past meetings, some members had proposed adding sexual orientation to that list. According to staff member Othni Lathram, commission member and state Rep. Patricia Todd, R-Birmingham, made a motion to add that wording at Thursday's meeting, but the proposal was voted down. Attempts to reach Todd Monday were unsuccessful.
To become part of the Constitution, each of the commission's proposals must pass the Legislature as an amendment and be approved by voters. The Legislature doesn't meet again in regular session until 2014.

The Medical Withdrawal policy is effective fall 2012 for all undergraduate and health science professional students. The Dental School, Graduate School, Graduate School of Management and Law School have independent policies. All students, however are subject to the possible review by the Office of Student Affairs, as warranted.
ProcessA student who wishes to withdraw for health related reasons, must complete the Medical Withdrawal Request and Healthcare Provider Release forms found here. These forms must be submitted before or within the term of illness/injury. If the student is unable to participate in the medical withdrawal process and an official medical withdrawal is needed, the student's college office, parent, spouse, partner, or other designee may do so on behalf of the student, once the incapacitation of the student is documented or power of attorney is provided. The Office of Student Affairs may, at times, require a student's medical withdrawal on an involuntary basis. In this case, that office will process the Medical Withdrawal form on behalf of the student. In either case, voluntary or involuntary withdrawal, the university will not grant retroactive official medical withdrawals of any kind for previous sessions/terms. In addition, all previously graded courses at the time of the request will remain on the student's record, regardless of the session/term in which the courses were taken.
A student who withdraws, or is withdrawn, for medical reasons prior to the end of late registration will have no courses reflected on the academic record for the term of the withdrawal. A student who withdraws, or is withdrawn, for medical reasons after the end of late registration will receive final grades of 'W' in all courses for the term of the withdrawal, except when courses have already been graded, or when grades of 'ADW' (administrative withdrawal) are warranted. A medical withdrawal does not appear as a specific reason for withdrawal on the student's official transcript.
The completed Medical Withdrawal Request form is to be submitted in person to Marquette Central or mailed to the Office of the Registrar by the student, the student's designee, the student's college office, or the Office of Student Affairs, and must include all relevant documentation as described on the form. The form and all documentation will be confidentially forwarded to the Medical Withdrawal Committee (MWC) for action.
The Medical Withdrawal Committee is comprised of five to six members. Permanent members include representatives from the Counseling Center, Student Health Services, the Office of Student Financial Aid, the Office of the Registrar, an undergraduate college representative from the Committee on Academic Procedures and a Health Sciences Professional area representative as needed. The Medical Withdrawal Committee reserves the right to consult with individuals from the student's college office, as well as additional personnel, the Counseling Center and/or Student Health Services on a case-by-case basis. The Medical Withdrawal Committee will carefully review each request for medical withdrawal and determine the action to be taken, including any refund, if appropriate. A medical withdrawal will result in a registration hold placed on the student's record.
A student has the right to appeal the Medical Withdrawal Committee's determination by writing to the Office of Student Affairs within five business days of the Committee's decision. The refund decision, if any, may not be appealed on its own, but will be considered as part of an appeal of the withdrawal decision. The Office of Student Affairs will, in turn, consult with the student's college office, or other university offices if appropriate, and reply to the student within five business days. The determination of the Office of Student Affairs is final.
Once a final determination has been made, the form will be signed by the chair of the committee and forwarded to the Office of the Registrar. The Office of the Registrar will then notify the student's college office and other offices, as appropriate; process the withdrawal; add the registration hold; and apply any refund, if granted. The original signed form will be retained by the Office of the Registrar as part of the permanent academic record.
Please be advised the university is required by federal financial aid regulations to conduct a review of all academic records at the end of each term to determine academic standing for each student. This includes the records of withdrawn students. As a result, you may be subject to a secondary type of withdrawal at the end of the current term under the Undergraduate Academic Censure policy. Rest assured, if you receive an academic censure notification, you may appeal the matter by following the instructions in the Communication you may receive from Marquette offices about this issue.
Because a medical withdrawal can affect so many aspects of academic progress at Marquette, the student is encouraged to first consider other options that might enable the student to remain enrolled. Before requesting a medical withdrawal, a discussion with the student's college office, the Office of Student Financial Aid (if applicable), the Office of International Education (if applicable) and other offices, as appropriate, is highly encouraged (e.g., Veterans, ROTC). It is also recommended that each student discuss the ramifications of a withdrawal with his/her health insurance or other service providers.
Return to the University after Medical Withdrawal
A student who withdraws for health-related reasons must complete the Request to Return form and his/her healthcare provider must complete a Healthcare Provider Report.
Approval to return to the university following a medical withdrawal is not guaranteed. The review process will follow all of the regulations outlined in the university readmission policy, in addition to any additional requirements imposed at the time of the medical withdrawal. The Medical Withdrawal Committee must approve a student's return to the university and the student's college must subsequently approve readmission to the college (if applicable). The registration hold imposed at the time of the medical withdrawal will not be removed from the record until the student is readmitted by the college (as applicable) and/or approved to return to the university by the Medical Withdrawal Committee.
Because of the documentation required, and the various decisions that must be made by university officials, it is necessary that the process to return, as outlined above, begin well in advance of the session/term in which the student wishes to re-enroll. At a minimum all required forms an documentation must be submitted no later than two weeks prior to the start of the session/term in which the student desires to return to the university. Failure to meet the two-week deadline may result in deferment of medical clearance and readmission to the following session/term.
The Office of the Registrar is the official keeper of academic records including course registrations, grades, transcripts and diplomas.

Mon. - Sun. 11am - 9pm
Metal shavings in food !!!!!!!!! – First of all I walked in was not greeted. I got a to-go order plated and got back to work and found a metal shaving in my seafood delight what the heck that could kill somebody, ya think they would care right, lol I was explaining what happened over phone to the girl, and it was like teaching a baby to write calligraphy. This is the first and last time I will ever eat there!!!!!!
RESTAURANT FOR SALE – Everyone, thanks for all your support and positive reviews. However, it is time for all of it to end. Due to these rough time, we will be force to sale the restaurant among my other restaurants in the area. You can be the owner of this great restaurant for just $600K and continue serving great food to the Nashville community.
Fried Food Heaven – If you like very salty, greasy, fatty food this is the place for you!!! I bit into the chicken wings and was drenched with oil. the oil covered my plate. To call this Chinese is an insult to Chinese. They don't have anything really chinese, like singapore noodle, squid or quail. They have fried chicken and fried everything. Do yourself a favor - get a 2-piece chicken snack at KFC or make sure your health insurance is up to date!!!
Prepare to loosen the belt a notch at this all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. – In Short
A longtime staple along the White Bridge Road corridor, diners come here for decent food at cheap prices. Buddha statues, Chinese lanterns and vinyl-covered booths comprise the decor. Off to one side is a rarely used, green marble bar to try the exotic specialty drinks. The main attraction is the large buffet in the center of the room. For less adventuresome diners, American dishes such as fried chicken and steak are also available.
the best – This place is just too good. If you are looking for great food with no wait, this the place to go.
Best Chinese buffet in town! – This is our family's favorite: excellent food, and the buffet has something for everyone. The highlight is the king-crab legs, the biggest and freshest on any buffet in town. The myriad Chinese dishes are utterly delicious and authentic, including mussles in oyster sauce, General Tso's chicken, and perfectly stir-fried green beans. My favorite are the Chinese-style barbecued spare ribs, sooo savory and falling-off-the-bone tender! The Southern comfort-foods are here, too, and terrific: warm peach cobbler (to die for!), boiled crawfish, fried sweet-potato, etc. There's prime rib, too. AMAZING selection, great value.
grea for big groups – I used to take a bunch of teen there all the time. It's really good for big groups. The food is great too.
great buffet – I love this place. It is definitely the best buffet in town. They have a great choice of seafood items and it's all great.
YUMMMMMMMY – A HUGE buffet of some great chinese food. Never fails!
3 things are worth it. – The Gneral Sous chicken, the chicken on a stick, and the peach cobler are worth the money by themself, They're that good. Not to mention the potatos, apple sticks, crab,jello,noodles,bread,rice,and more.

One of the things you want to avoid when deploying an ASP.NET application into production is to accidentally (or deliberately) leave the <compilation debug="true"/> switch on within the application's web.config file.
Doing so causes a number of non-optimal things to happen including:
1) The compilation of ASP.NET pages takes longer (since some batch optimizations are disabled)
2) Code can execute slower (since some additional debug paths are enabled)
3) Much more memory is used within the application at runtime
4) Scripts and images downloaded from the WebResources.axd handler are not cached
When <compilation debug="false"/> is set, the WebResource.axd handler will automatically set a long cache policy on resources retrieved via it – so that the resource is only downloaded once to the client and cached there forever (it will also be cached on any intermediate proxy servers). If you have Atlas installed for your application, it will also automatically compress the content from the WebResources.axd handler for you when <compilation debug="false"/> is set – reducing the size of any client-script javascript library or static resource for you (and not requiring you to write any custom code or configure anything within IIS to get it).
What about binaries compiled with debug symbols?
One scenario that several people find very useful is to compile/pre-compile an application or associated class libraries with debug symbols so that more detailed stack trace and line error messages can be retrieved from it when errors occur.
The good news is that you can do this without having the have the <compilation debug="true"/> switch enabled in production. Specifically, you can use either a web deployment project or a web application project to pre-compile the code for your site with debug symbols, and then change the <compilation debug="true"/> switch to false right before you deploy the application on the server.
The debug symbols and metadata in the compiled assemblies will increase the memory footprint of the application, but this can sometimes be an ok trade-off for more detailed error messages.
The <deployment retail="true"/> Switch in Maching.config
If you are a server administrator and want to ensure that no one accidentally deploys an ASP.NET application in production with the <compilation debug="true"/> switch enabled within the application's web.config file, one trick you can use with ASP.NET V2.0 is to take advantage of the <deployment> section within your machine.config file.
Specifically, by setting this within your machine.config file:
<deployment retail="true"/>
You will disable the <compilation debug="true"/> switch, disable the ability to output trace output in a page, and turn off the ability to show detailed error messages remotely. Note that these last two items are security best practices you really want to follow (otherwise hackers can learn a lot more about the internals of your application than you should show them).
Setting this switch to true is probably a best practice that any company with formal production servers should follow to ensure that an application always runs with the best possible performance and no security information leakages. There isn't a ton of documentation on this switch – but you can learn a little more about it here.
Hope this helps,
Updated: Tess has a great follow-up post with more details about what happens when debug="true" is enabled. You can read it here.
Hi David:
We just went ahead and turned off debugging on our ASP.Net 1.1 site written using Notepad :)
I was wondering however, this still doesn't seem to have solved the problem. Is there anything else I can add/modify in the web.config file or somewhere else to speed up the site when that unfortunate user hits the page first and waits?? I am running the site on a Dual Xeon 3.0 with 2 GB running on SCSI RAID 5 hardware... So I think that's enough :)
Hi Russ,
How many assemblies do you have within the application's \bin folder? And are you doing anything to load up data to cache on the first request?
Given that hardware you shouldn't see much of a load time issue -- so it is odd that you are.
Have you tried calling Microsoft support to have them help debug it?
Hi Ram,
What you might be running into are cases where you have a mixed page -- with some resources over https and others over straight http.
Is this the case?
P.S. Note that you can use webresources.axd over https - that is supported.
Hi JohnV,
Can you send me email (firstname.lastname@example.com) with some more details about how your page is configured? I can then help you get this fixed.
Hi Kristy,
If you update your web application the resources should also be updated.
Hi Arif,
When you update the .dll assemblies within the \bin directory, or update the web.config file of the application, the application will restart. This will cause in-memory session state to be lost - although forms-authentication tickets are not reset (so your users shouldn't be logged out).
What people typically do with updates is to perform them at certain non-peak times of the day (for example: in the evening or morning).
Note that if you don't use session state, or use an out of process session state configuratiuon, there is no interruption to users.
Hi Brett,
Can you send me an email with more details about the error you are seeing? I can then loop in a few folks to help investigate.
Hi Murali,
Yes -- you can change this setting even after the app is published to the server.
Hi Mike,
Yes -- you want to make sure you always set debug="false" in your web.config file. This prevents ASP.NET from running in debug mode and doing extra work.
We have a page containing a number of user controls and in the code behind we are looping through all the controls on the page and performing some actions depending on the type of the control. We are basing this on the following:
select case aControl.GetType.ToString()
case "ASP.OurControl_ascx"
Which has been fine on our development boxes, but when deployed to the production box with debug="false", the namespace seems to change to "_ASP". Why is this and is there any way around this?
Hi Paddy,
I'd recommend definining an interface that you have your usercontrols or pages implemnet. You can then safely check for that at runtime.
Is there a way to do the same type of configuration in ASP.NET 1.1 ?
Hi Scott,
Is there a way to achieve the same "restriction" using ASP.NET 1.1 ? I have many (150 !) applications in ASP.NET 1.1 and last week 2 of them forgott to change debug=true in their Web.config... As i'm running many applications in the same application pool 2 of them grow up to 1,5 GB ! Seems to be related to debug=true
Hi Manu,
Unfortunately there isn't a way to automatically override this in ASP.NET 1.1. We added the feature in V2.0 after seeing people run into in it with 1.1.
Hi Paul,
Have you tried calling Microsoft product support? They are great at debugging these types of issues, and should be able to figure out what is going on.
when i set debug=false then run build, the output window still tells me im building as debug?
is this correct?
------ Build started: Project: D:\...\eadweb\, Configuration: Debug .NET ------
Hi Mark,
Unfortunately this is a bug with the information to the output window - it always says it is a debug configuration when building a web-site in the IDE.
Sorry about that,
Hi Ofer,
Can you send me an email with more details on this issue? I can then have someone help debug it.
I've also recieved the "'mycontrol_ascx' is ambiguous in the namespace '_ASP'".
The issue arose after setting debug="false" on our servers and we found the cause to be a second usercontrol with the same name. Maybe the debug="true" setting allowed these two usercontrols to be compiled and exist within separate dll's.
The solution we used was to specify the ClassName attribute in the control directive for the usercontrol.
Can you give me one ideea why when I run the site using DNS as htpps://domain.com it runs very slow, but whern I use htpps://phisicalboxname.com it runs very fast. Of cause this is something I can do from our internal network but external users can't.

Wooster >Food & Dining > El Rancho Grande
117 W Liberty St, Wooster, OH | Directions 4469140.798203 -81.940501
Tasteless and crunchy! – After looking at their website my family decided to try their pizza. Not only was the prices on the website outdated by a three dollars per pizza and .50 per topping the pizza was tasteless and very crunchy on bottom. I also agree that the prices were high for the quality. We get a better pizza at Little Ceasars for only five dollars. Parking is also bad but so is all of downtown. I would not recommend trying their pizza unless they are the only place open in town.
How is this place in buisness? – My husband and I wanted to try some thing new, and decided on El Rancho Grande. This was by far the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at. The prices were VERY high for the quality and taste. I, myself, ordered 1 boneless pork chop and a side of pasta $10.00, my husband ordered a half order of gnocci (potato pasta) $8.00 and 1/4 pepperoni bread (I forgot the price of this). Drinks were 2.00 a peice i think, and NO refills. The bread was good but nothing special....the best part of our meal. The pasta was edible, but the sauce was not great....and even though our waitress made a big deal out of the "meatball sauce" it arrived with only one meatball. My porkchop arrived with a small side of spaghetti. The porkchop although ordered boneless, came with a full "T" and no spices or seasoning. it was dry and tough, so much so that I could barely cut it with a knife. The spaghetti on the side was over cooked, and in a very bland tomato sauce that tasted like a discount brand ragu. Besides the awful food, the service was poor. Our waitress was not at all helpful when we asked questions about the dishes. I will NEVER reccomend this restaurant to anyone.

"I'm affable!" Will McAvoy yells in the pilot of "The Newsroom," Aaron Sorkin's new HBO series. McAvoy (played by Jeff Daniels) is an irascible anchor whose brand is likability, and it's a good line, delivered well. It is also a rare moment of self-mockery—and one of the last sequences I was on board for in the series. In "The Newsroom," clever people take turns admiring one another. They sing arias of facts. They aim to remake television news: "This is a new show, and there are new rules," a maverick executive producer announces, several times, in several ways. Their outrage is so inflamed that it amounts to a form of moral eczema—only it makes the viewer itch.
This is not to say that "The Newsroom" doesn't score points now and then, if you share its politics. It starts effectively enough, with an homage to "Network" 's galvanizing "I'm mad as hell" rant, as McAvoy, a blandly uncontroversial cable big shot whom everyone tauntingly calls Leno, is trapped on a journalism-school panel. When the moderator needles him into answering a question about why America is the greatest country on earth, he goes volcanic, ticking off the ways in which America is no such thing, then closing with a statement of hope, about the way things used to be. This speech goes viral, and his boss (Sam Waterston) and his producer, MacKenzie McHale (Emily Mortimer), who's also his ex-girlfriend, encourage him to create a purer news program, purged of any obsession with ratings and buzz.
Much of McAvoy's diatribe is bona-fide baloney—false nostalgia for an America that never existed—but it is exciting to watch. And if you enjoyed "The West Wing," Sorkin's helpful counterprogramming to the Bush Administration, your ears will prick up. The pilot of "The Newsroom" is full of yelling and self-righteousness, but it's got energy, just like "The West Wing," Sorkin's "Sports Night," and his hit movie "The Social Network." The second episode is more obviously stuffed with piety and syrup, although there's one amusing segment, when McAvoy mocks some right-wing idiots. After that, "The Newsroom" gets so bad so quickly that I found my jaw dropping. The third episode is lousy (and devolves into lectures that are chopped into montages). The fourth episode is the worst. There are six to go.
Sorkin is often presented as one of the auteurs of modern television, an innovator and an original voice. But he's more logically placed in a school of showrunners who favor patterspeak, point-counterpoint, and dialogue-driven tributes to the era of screwball romance. Some of this banter is intelligent; just as often, however, it's artificial intelligence, predicated on the notion that more words equals smarter. Besides Sorkin, these creators include Shonda Rhimes (whose Washington melodrama, "Scandal," employs cast members from "The West Wing"); Amy Sherman-Palladino, of "The Gilmore Girls" (and the appealing new "Bunheads"); and David E. Kelley, who created "Ally McBeal" and "Boston Legal." Sorkin is supposed to be on a different level from his peers: longer words, worldlier topics. And many viewers clearly buy into this idea: years after Sorkin's terrible, fascinating "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" was cancelled, I still occasionally run into someone who insists that Americans were just too stupid to get it.
As Dan Rather might put it, that dog won't hunt. Sorkin's shows are the type that people who never watch TV are always claiming are better than anything else on TV. The shows' air of defiant intellectual superiority is rarely backed up by what's inside—all those Wagnerian rants, fingers poked in chests, palms slammed on desks, and so on. In fact, "The Newsroom" treats the audience as though we were extremely stupid. Characters describe events we've just witnessed. When a cast member gets a shtick (like an obsession with Bigfoot), he delivers it over and over. In episode four, there's a flashback to episode three. In a recent interview, Sorkin spoke patronizingly of cop shows, but his Socratic flirtations are frequently just as formulaic, right down to the magical "Ask twice!" technique.
There's no denying that Sorkin's shows can be addictive: I couldn't stop watching "Studio 60," which was about the making of a "Saturday Night Live"-style sketch show, no matter how hard I tried. That thing was alive! It was lit up with payback, as well as with portraits of Sorkin's exes so glowing that they were radioactive. The show's deliriously preening heroes were so memorable that they inspired a set of fictional Twitter feeds, in which the characters live on, making remarks like "Deciding if the satire I'm about to write should be scathing or whip-smart."
"The Newsroom" sounded more promising, journalism being a natural habitat for blowhards. But so far the series lacks the squirmy vigor of "Studio 60," particularly since Sorkin saps the drama with an odd structural choice. Rather than invent fictional crises, he's set the show in "the recent past," so that the plot is literally old news: the BP oil spill, the Tea Party, the Arizona immigration law. That sounds like an innovative concept, but it turns the characters into back-seat drivers, telling us how the news should have been delivered. (Instead of "Broadcast News," it's like a sanctimonious "Zelig.") Naturally, McAvoy slices through crises by "speaking truth to stupid," in McHale's words. But he also seizes credit for "breaking stories"—like the political shenanigans of the Koch brothers—that were broken by actual journalists, all of them working in print or online. In the fourth episode, the show injects a real-life tragedy into the mix, pouring a pop ballad over the montage, just the way "E.R." used to do whenever a busload of massacred toddlers came crashing through the door.

Propitious Timing for PBers' China Beach Bistroby M.M. Cloutier
As Palm Beachers Roger and Judi Hochstin prepare to open their new restaurant, China Beach Bistro, sometime later this month in West Palm Beach's Northwood Village, the timing couldn't be better.
After some rickety years, Northwood Village—located between 45th Street and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard—is finally coming of age. It's also increasingly becoming a restaurant destination.
China Beach Bistro is located in the heart of it all—the central shopping area with its collection of side-by-side shops, salons and galleries that line three main streets: Northwood Road and 24th and 25th streets.
That's where the City of West Palm Beach's Community Redevelopment Agency, since 2005, has targeted revitalization efforts and has provided incentives for businesses to move there. A $4 million renovation of sidewalks, lighting and landscaping on 24th and 25th streets is scheduled for completion early next year.
Within the central shopping district are a dozen restaurants—serving up everything from Haitian fare to Mediterranean and American cuisine—including Jade Kitchen and Cafe Centro, which have been popular with Palm Beachers. The owners of Cafe Centro, Turgut Kaytmaz and Sal Yuksel, are partners with the Hochstins in China Beach Bistro.
Northwood Village's restaurants collectively could make headlines in the future. Northwood GREENlife, a local nonprofit, has been working with the national Green Restaurant Association (GRA) with a vision of turning the area into the country's first Green Restaurant Row.
The restaurants would have to be certified by the GRA, which, based on a point system, evaluates water efficiency, sustainable-food use and other environmental issues.
This past Friday, I spoke briefly with the GRA's communications manager, Jennifer Fleck, who said a few Northwood Village restaurants currently are working toward certification. Based on her organization's protocol, she declined to identify them by name.
