Army, faith helped push Mormon bobsledder Chris Fogt to Olympic success
"I almost quit and wanted to go full-time Army," he told the Deseret News in 2012 after his return. "My mentor is a two-star general, and he said this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
So Fogt returned to training for bobsled competition, and while he inspired them in the desert, they inspired him on the track. Fogt said any time he felt tired or discouraged, he thought of them, far from their loved ones, counting on him to represent them on that starting line.
Sustaining faith
Fogt's LDS faith has sustained and guided him throughout his experiences — as an athlete, as a soldier and now as a husband and soon-to-be father.
His father, Bill, converted to the Mormon faith at age 24 while he served in the Army. Afterward, he attended Brigham Young University, where he met Fogt's mom, Janet.
Fogt's father taught seminary, and the family moved a lot because of his job. Fogt started high school at Lone Peak in Highland, Utah. The family moved to Massachusetts and then back to Utah, where he graduated from American Fork High.
Fogt chose to attend Utah State University, but he said he struggled with the idea of putting his schoolwork first. Choosing to serve a Mormon mission, however, was an easy decision.
"I was ready for a break," he said. "I was so happy to go. Most of my friends had already gone."
He learned as much as he taught on his mission to the Philippines.
"At the age of 19, traveling to a third-world country for the first time, you learn what you really need in life versus what you want in life," he said. "... When you see people living four or five in a one-room little house, and they're still so happy, loving and giving, it's awesome. Growing up, when you're young, you think you need to make money in order to be happy."
He said the language was difficult, but he immersed himself in the culture and the experience.
"I've always been a little crazy," he said. "I ate everything I could — dog, duck eggs — I got worms over there. It's the same in the Army — no sleep, MREs — I kind of like that lifestyle."
Fogt returned from his mission and transferred to UVU, where he ran track on scholarship. Recruiters saw him and persuaded him to try bobsled.
While he appreciates the experiences being an Olympic athlete — and now an Olympic medalist — has given him, he said his faith reminds him that there are more important goals than winning races.
"Sometimes, when you're just around athletes, you kind of forget deeper things in life, what's important, having a family, being a good person," he said. "It's about how do we win, how do we have fun. ... It's a much more selfish life. So it's nice to be reminded and be humbled once in a while."
When Fogt was in Iraq, he said, there were a lot of soldiers with whom he could worship.
"In Baghdad, we had a small branch," he said. "It was nice to be able to relax once a week, work on other things that weren't Army. It was nice to go to church and talk about peace and love and Christ. You're in a war zone, going to church, but you're not wearing a suit and tie. You're wearing your Army uniform, with a weapon on you the whole time. It was a very interesting situation."
As a member of the U.S. bobsled team, he has to compete on Sundays during every World Cup. So finding time to worship requires some creativity. He makes sure to read scriptures and general conference talks.
There are other Mormons who help him with conversations and support, such as Canadian push athlete David Bissett, who won bronze in 2010 in Vancouver and was on the Canada-2 sled that took ninth.

Guess who's trashing "green jobs?"
Green jobs have become a core rallying cry for progressives, a way to talk about a key economic benefit of jumpstarting the transition to clean energy economy. And green jobs are very much a reality — last year alone jobs in the wind industry increased 35,000 or 70%, a fact lost on much of the media (see "Voodoo economics reporting"). You can expect any good progressive idea to see a knee-jerk push back by conservatives. Today's guest post by Frank O'Donnell of The Campaign for America's Future (first published here) is on this very subject.
As the Senate continues to wrestle with the economic stimulus legislation, it's been fascinating to note the counter-attack against the idea of "green jobs."Just yesterday, for example, CNN followed a green pitch by President Obama with an interview with one Thomas Pyle, described as being with the "Institute for Energy Research." (See transcript, below.) Pyle attacked the idea of promoting renewable energy.
What CNN didn't tell viewers — could this be because CNN recently fired its entire environmental unit and now appears utterly clueless in covering these issues? [see "CNN fires staff covering science and environment, hires psychic to cover climate change"] is who Pyle is, and what is the "Institute for Energy Research."
So, let us fill in a few gaps. First, on Pyle:
The "Institute's" web site www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/staff/ blandly discusses his work for unnamed clients and notes he previously worked for "the Majority Whip of the United States House of Representatives."
In case you're wondering, that was Tom "The Hammer" DeLay. Pyle left to become an oil industry lobbyist for Koch Industries, known not only for spending lavishly on Republican political candidates, but also for being a major underwriter of right-wing, pro-oil industry front groups (including the Cato Institute, which also was cited in the CNN story!) http://projects.publicintegrity.org/oil/report.aspx?aid=347
Presumably, we needn't delve deeper into the disgraced DeLay or the fact that Pyle's name later surfaced in an e-mail in connection with the Jack Abramoff scandal. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9913002/ (There is no evidence that Pyle did anything illegal, though government ethics experts raised questions about the incident.)
Let's turn for the moment to the "Institute," which blandly describes itself as "a not-for-profit organization that conducts intensive research and analysis on the functions, operations, and government regulation of global energy markets." It touts its use of "objective science" and "impartial and unbiased" principles. www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/about-us/.
And yet it always appears to side with the fossil fuel industries — while inveighing against "subsidies" for renewable energy and "sensationalized" media coverage of global warming. (The Institute's president, Robert L. Bradley, Jr., was corporate director for public policy analysis at Enron. Other staffers worked in such jobs as at the Mercatus Center — another Koch-funded front group — and as aide to ousted Congressman and oil industry buddy Richard Pombo.) Pyle, by the way, had a busy week helping the oil and gas industry — he also trashed Interior Secretary Salazar's decision to shelve the Bush-granted oil and gas drilling leases near Utah's national parks. (Joining him in this trashing was another front group — "Americans for American Energy," created by ex-Republican Capitol Hill staffer and ex-Dick Cheney staffer James Simms.)
Pyle's "Institute" is also a "partner" of an oil industry lobbying front group called "American Energy Alliance" www.americanenergyalliance.org/, whose priorities appear to include oil drilling off the coasts, oil drilling in Alaska, and attacking the idea of permitting California to enforce its greenhouse gas pollution standards for motor vehicles. (We'd need less oil if these are enforced.)
So next time a clueless CNN or other media out puts on an "expert," you might want to inquire about that expert's true agenda.
Bipartisan Meeting on Stimulus Package; President Obama at Energy Department; Stimulating Energy Jobs?
5 February 2009
CNN: CNN Newsroom
DON LEMON, CNN ANCHOR: Top of the hour, breaking news here on CNN. They're working on that stimulus plan…
So we've been talking a lot about renewable energy. So here's a question. It's also part of that economic stimulus package that goes before Congress. Both the Senate and the House versions include billions of energy projects. Here's the question — will that money create jobs?
Kitty Pilgrim has — finds out for us.
KITTY PILGRIM, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): In a perfect world, energy would be clean, plentiful and cheap, generated by wind and sun. A great goal, but some say not appropriate for a stimulus plan.
PETER VAN DOREN, CATO INSTITUTE: Voter sentiment for renewable energy is kind of a make believe fantasy that somehow money can come from heaven and make things beautiful and cheap and green all at the same time, and no one's bills go up. And of course none of that's possible.
PILGRIM: There are lots of reasons for our economy and environment to invest in wind and solar energy, but wind and solar are capital- intensive industries, not labor intensive. So job creation would be expensive.
According to the Center for American Progress, it would take $50,000 of taxpayer money to create every green job, a government subsidized job in an industry already heavily subsidized. The House stimulus proposal of $18 billion would be 10 times the current government funding for renewable energy. The Senate plan of $14 billion is seven times higher. And neither plan would spend the money quickly.
REP. DARRELL ISSA (R), CALIFORNIA: Whether you're talking 14 or 18, you only have about two that could possibly be properly spent in the first two years. These projects are taking ten-plus years to get off the ground because even those who say they're environmentalists don't want them in their back yard.
PILGRIM: And the Congressional Budge Office says the new funding would not be stimulative. "We therefore expect that the proportion of spending that would occur in the first few years would be lower than for the existing programs, reflecting the time it would take DOE to establish new programs."
Some say the heavily-subsidized renewable energy industry does not deserve even more money.
THOMAS PYLE, INST. FOR ENERGY RESEARCH: That money doesn't grow on trees. It comes from somewhere. So if we are spending taxpayer dollars to prop up these industries that wouldn't otherwise exist in the private sector, we are diverting those resources away from other things.
PILGRIM: Kitty Pilgrim, CNN.
One reason I am republishing this post is that the Institute for Energy Research has become a fountain of bad analysis and I expect we'll be hearing from them again and again — in part because I know Bradley from his Enron days, and he keeps emailing me their stuff.

ot, but the USA flag favicon seems a bit parochial given the theme of this blog…
[JR: The flag I have never seen before until a couple of days ago.
I have no idea how it got there, but I consider myself as patriotic as anyone in the country, so I can't see anything offensive about it or any reason to change it, even if I knew how.]
"'Americans for American Energy,' created by ex-Republican Capitol Hill staffer and ex-Dick Cheney staffer James Simms.)"
"Pyle's 'Institute' is also a 'partner' of an oil industry lobbying front group called "American Energy Alliance"
Policy Communications – astroturfing organization that includes
The Western Business Roundtable, Partnership for America and
"Americans for American Energy"
Sounds like the American Energy Alliance and the Institute for Energy Research are part of the same astroturf group.
Desmog blog did an article on Policy Communications, Western Business Roundtable,Partnership for America and Americans for American Energy being all staffed by the same people.
Makes it seem like this big groundswell of grassroots opposition to renewable energy and climate change mitigation.
They are trying to block the efforts by the Western Climate Initiative to promote sustainable energy.
Is there any subject where some people can't resist the temptation to red bait or flag wave? I know you are a proud American, the type who has resisted every freedom conceived of, and then boasts of how strong you are at defending those freedoms you fought against. Then you wave the flag and accuse those -horrors!- liberals, who champion such rights, as unpatriotic.
You know that saying about patriotism being the last refuge of a scoundrel? check it out.
Actually, it is surprising that an oil company would be against wind power because:
1. Wind does not compete significantly with oil, so why should Koch care? Is Koch involved in coal as well as oil?
2. Wind will distract you from doing things that would actually run the other fossil fuel, coal, out of business, like nuclear power. Nuclear has run coal out of business in France. Given a level playing field, nuclear can beat the price of any other source of energy. It is only foolish regulations and paranoia that has kept nuclear from putting an end to coal fired power plants world wide. Fossil fuel interests should be glad to have this reprieve while people fool around with wind power. On the other hand, for whatever wind actually accomplishes, that is good.
3. NASA has measured wind energy potential from space and NASA says that there is NOT enough energy available in the wind, wind is unsteady, and most of the energy available in wind is in very inconvenient places, like the ocean around Antarctica.
4. The wind is calmest when the electricity demand to run air conditioners is the highest. Heat waves are usually accompanied by calm winds. Wind is not a competitor during heat waves.
So why does Thomas Pyle care? The only 2 things left are whatever small amount of money might be diverted from oil and natural gas subsidies and the possibility of heating houses with wind generated electricity. Neither are significant enough to care about. So, Joe Romm and journalists out there, why does Thomas Pyle care? Is it merely a matter of wanting to make noise?
There is a real battle going on between the entrenched fossil fuel energy interests and those who realize that energy efficiency and alternative energy are a national security and economic survival imperative.

SOC: North Texas vs. Charlotte
SOC: North Texas vs. UTSA
Montayne begins his second season as the volunteer goalkeeping coach after serving as an assistant coach the previous four years.
Montayne coached goalkeeper Jackie Kerestine her entire career at North Texas. Over the course of her career, she became the most decorated goalkeeper at North Texas and will go down in the record books as one of the top players in school history. Kerestine has set nearly every single goalkeeping record at North Texas, including all the career records.
Kerestine capped her career in 2015 by being named first-team all-conference after breaking her own single-season school records in wins (19) and shutouts (15). She was named Conference USA Goalkeeper of the Week five times, named defensive MVP of the Conference USA Championship, and named the Las Vegas Invitational's Most Outstanding Player and Defensive Player. She was ranked first in the conference and ranked in the top five nationally in G.A.A., shutouts and save percentage.
In 2014, Montayne mentored Kerestine to one of the best single seasons by a North Texas goalkeeper. The redshirt junior goalkeeper came back stronger than ever from a knee injury suffered the year before. In 2014, Kerestine set a conference and single-season school record with a 0.51 goals-against average. She also led the conference the entire season in GAA, save percentage and shutouts. The 14 shutouts was also a single-season school record. She also went on to set career records at North Texas in shutouts, saves and wins. Kerestine was honored with second-team all-conference honors, four Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week awards and was named to the C-USA All-Tournament Team in 2014.
In 2013, Montayne tutored Hailey Riley in goal after Kerestine went down with a knee injury. Riley went on to receive two Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week awards and played in the conference championship game. Montayne also helped coach the C-USA Defensive Player of the Year Kelsey Hodges.

IntroductionIntroduction by iSakuraSnow
You have been intelligent ever since you've enrolled into school, and up until college, you've been the top student, so who's the top student now? Izaya Orihara, of course, the mischievous yet intelligent man of class 1A. He's never had an imperfect test score, allowing him to remain number one. You always study, day and night, but despite your effort, you've never managed to surpass him, which frustrates you. It annoys you even more when you hear everyone talking about him. With his charming looks and intellectual brain, it is no wonder why he wouldn't be the talk of the campus.
However, your opinion on him soon swayed on the day you personally met him in the campus' library. You entered the library with the book you were reading when you noticed Izaya on the computer trying to hack a program, and the moment you took a seat not too far besides him to read in peace, he turned to you and called your name. The two of you exchanged introductions,

Homo If Only He Had Been in a Boy Band
posted by October 18 at 10:19 AMon
This just ain't right.
Tyron Garner, the African American plaintiff in Lawrence v. Texas, the case that overturned sodomy laws in the United States (and prompted the Supreme Court to reverse Bowers v. Hardwick, an earlier, rabidly anti-gay decision), died on September 11, 2006. He still hasn't been buried, as his family can't afford to pay for burial. If money isn't raised immediately, Garner's body will be chucked into an unmarked pauper's grave by officials in Harris County Texas. Keith Boykin reports…
Ironically, it was a police officer in Harris County who barged into a private apartment and arrested Garner for having consensual sex with a male partner. And it was the state of Texas that spent an enormous amount of time and money in pursuing the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Thus, the state that sought to control his body while he was living may end up controlling it in his death.
So what's the gay rights movement doing about this? Uh, not much.
Lambda Legal Defense Fund had previously announced a fund to be set up for Garner's family to cover the cost of the funeral and burial, but apparently the funds have still not been raised. I don't know the circumstances behind the fund, but Lambda is the second largest LGBT organization in the country and boasts an annual budget of $10.5 million….
Tyron Garner was a hero to the LGBT community. Without him, we would not be able to begin the conversation around marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples. So there's no reason why he shouldn't be buried with dignity and respect. His case, Lawrence v. Texas, was the most important U.S. Supreme Court case for the gay and lesbian community.
The gay rights establishment, dominated by white gays and lesbians, is often accused of being thoughtlessly racist. Sometimes the charges are baseless and self-serving. In this instance, however, if the gay rights establishment doesn't get it in gear and raise the money needed to properly bury Garner, then the institutional racism could and should stick.
Keith Boykin is going to put info on his website about where you can donate a few bucks. As soon as it's up, I'll be sending off a check. You should too.
UPDATE: Too late.
I just received word from Mitchell Katine, the local attorney in the Lawrence v. Texas case, who informed me that Tyron Garner's brother Darnell signed the papers just this morning releasing Tyron's body to the county for cremation (at no cost). The fund which had been set up for his burial had raised only $225.00 in 6 weeks.
This should never have happened… This man was a hero to our community, and the community failed him. The group that created this fund could have written a check itself to cover the cost of this man's burial. And the community that was solicited should have given up far more than $225, almost half of which came from the lawyer. Are the lives of black gay men disposable? Does no one care?
Although it is too late to preserve Garner's body, it is still possible to preserve his legacy and to help his family. The family would like for Tyron's ashes to be put in a metal urn (instead of a plastic bag), and they would like to print some obituaries for Garner. The total cost for the metal urn and the obituaries is $430.00, meaning they need an additional $205 from the $225 already raised.
Several people have already contacted me and offered to give more than that amount to the fund. I encourage anyone who is interested to make a contribution anyway. All excess funds will go to the family, the lawyer tells me. Contributions should be made payable to the Tyrone Garner Fund and sent directly to:
Preferred Bank

Old grass cutter stolen in HalifaxMay 09,2013Old grass cutter
stolen in Halifax

Eddie has a more obvious relationship with Catherine. We watch her gradually free herself of dependence on him, as she moves closer to Rodolpho, but Eddie's kiss accelerates the process. She is bitter in her condemnation of Eddie after he has betrayed Marco and Rodolpho, but she shows she still cares for him when she says: "I never meant to do nothing bad to you", as he dies. The two women have a good relationship with each other; this is never as intense as Catherine's relationship with Eddie, but it outlasts it.
Beatrice has reason to be jealous but is generous to Catherine at all times. She knows Eddie has done a terrible thing in calling the authorities, but stands by him. Both women are present as Eddie dies, and their concern makes Alfieri's plea for our sympathy more persuasive. You should know in which episodes each appears, and what both say.
Look at Catherine's relations with Eddie, with Beatrice and with Rodolpho; look at Beatrice in relation to her niece and husband. Is Beatrice's childlessness significant? Look at Catherine's actions which show her closeness to Eddie. She brings him a beer or lights a cigar; Beatrice tells us that she sits on the edge of the bath while Eddie shaves, and walks around in her slip (we do not see this), and Catherine explains to Rodolpho how she can sense Eddie's moods: "I can tell a block away when he's blue in his mind and just wants to talk to somebody..." Catherine's part is ambiguous in several ways: she is, at seventeen, but socially inexperienced, both little girl (Rodolpho calls her this) and adult woman; to Eddie she acts both as daughter and as lover; she is a simple, pretty girl from Brooklyn but Eddie sees her as a "Madonna". (This has nothing to do with the celebrated singer, who was not even born in 1955. It refers to the Virgin Mary as she is depicted in Old Master paintings of the nativity.Madonna literally means "my lady", in Italian - the language of Eddie's native land.)

In Motion
New York choreographer John Jasperse doesn't like dance critics, which is a tough bias to have when a) you live in the most critic-rich city in the world and b) your most ardent desire is to build a larger and more diverse audience for concert dance -- which is, in fact, the goal of this 32-year-old maker of dances. Best known for his piece Excessories, which blends S&M elements with fashion shows and a dose of nonchalance, the choreographer has developed a following in New York and earned critical notice on a recent European tour. Despite his success, Jasperse still sounds charming notes of surprise when discussing his work, especially when he talks about the part of Excessories in which performers fondle themselves and one another.
Nudity and masturbation have been a part of contemporary dance since the '70s, though Jasperse's use of self-fondling is decidedly less utopian than the clothes-shedding dances of that earlier decade. The reaction to the section in Excessories has varied from laughter (Germany) to utter silence (Portugal), the latter being the most perplexing for Jasperse. Despite the sensationalistic nature of the autoerotic moment, the work's threads of cynicism about fashion and personal relations are far more prominent, and that kind of artistic mocking is tantalizing for Houston, a city accustomed to pretty, but seldom socially relevant, story ballet as its main course of dance.
Jasperse, who will be performing at DiverseWorks Thursday through Saturday, is fresh from a concert date in Germany, and ready for a place where audiences aren't well-versed in contemporary dance. He even embraces the idea that Houston dance audiences might be shy about paying to see people disrobe. We can blame that shyness on the '70s, Jasperse claims, a decade that taught audiences to be a little frightened of modern dance. "There was a long period where dance was made about dance," Jasperse says, "and if you couldn't contextualize what you were seeing in terms of contemporary dance, the work tended to alienate you, because you couldn't understand it."
Jasperse aims to provoke his audience. If the point of contemporary dance 20 years ago was to be self-referential, then Jasperse's point is to be a new, bolder Everyman, out to find an audience that wants to think more than it wants to absorb pretty pictures.

In other words, read the dpkg database to see if some of the files are missing. I accidentally the system with rm -rf and then quickly hit ^C when I realised what I was doing but I don't know what's missing. It seems to be perfectly up and running so I just want to make sure.
dpkg -C is way too quick so I checked with strace and it doesn't seem to actually audit the files, it just runs a function over the database to say which packages aren't completely installed (might not be true if it was just an error in the configure script).

Silveira Beach House - Helena Karpouzas
A simple timber and glass Brazilian bach, which I pinched from this blog here, where blogger Nick reckons at its latitude in Brazil, it will have just the right amount of overhang to block out the midday sun, yet let in all the light in winter.
That might be a trifle optimistic, but I'd like to think he's right.

Good looking but thin and very high, I bought to go with another ring but didn't look good together
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? apprears wider than actual
- How accurate was the sizing? exact size
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very nice
i got this ring on time and the stones were really shiny! though tiny, but lovely
The ring is of fairly good quality and the diamonds are pretty clear. The ring looks exactly as depicted in the picture. The setting is a little bit higher than I would have liked but all in all, a very pretty ring for the price.
- Did the image onsite match the product? Yes
- Did the product fit true to size? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? Good
Beautiful little ring. Very delicate with beautiful stones. I just received it and am very pleased.
I lost a diamond in my wedding ring. After visiting with several jewelers here in Tallahassee I ordered from Overstock.... Twice. I ordered the 1/4 carat ring and then ordered the 1/2 carat ring in the identical setting. I wear them together and have received many compliments. Thank You Overstock
I gave this ring to my girlfriend for our fifth year anniversary. Perfect choice with the five stone inlay. When the sunlight hit the diamonds they sparkled so bright, can't wait until she sees the engagement ring I'm going to pick out for her. But this is truly a terrific choice for any occasion.
I love this ring!!! I bought two of the dimond bands from Overstock and put this in the middle for my wedding ring and it is so beautiful. I got them all hooked together so they don't move around and it looks so great I would recommend this ring to anyone who likes the smaller dimond look. It is alot smaller then it looks but still very pretty.
I purchased this ring for my girlfriend for her birthday. She absolutely loved it...and it looks great on her finger. Yes, its small but definitely tasteful.
I recently bought this ring, and I was actually very happy with it when I recieved it! The gold is so shiny and pretty, and the diamonds are flawless! They are so clear! The whole set up of the ring was georgous! I love it and I would recommend it to people! Overstock took good care of me! I will be using them again!

Hello everybody,
Thank you so much Miguel, for your job.
I really appreciate this plugin, finding it uniquely useful and well written.
In my opinion, I've found just a little difficulty on the links created from the plugin: in my (wordpress) Permalink Settings page I've created a custom structure like this /news/%post_id%, but for each month of the plugin the link is always the same /news/date/2014/01 (for example clicking on a jennuary 2014 post).
I thought the link was customizable, but it isn't so.
For each link of the jquery plugin, the redirected page is the default archive page linked to that kind of url.
Is there any way to customize the default page (adding specific headers for example) or at least to customise the logic back of the link inside this plugin?
I saw the block inside the plugin pages:
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$style = $expandMonth ? 'list-item' : 'none';
$html.= "\n\t\t" . '<li class="jaw_posts" style="display:' . $style . ';">';
$html.= 'ID) . '">' . $post->post_title . '';
I don't know how to act right now and which way I have to follow: change links to plugin or change/understand/create (???) the default shown archive page and customize it.
I just want to make the montlhy link of the plugin linking to an editable page of archive... and so on.
Really thank you, Miguel and wordpress friends!

"Lake Placid" Top 5 Page for this destination Lake Placid by chrissyalex
Lake Placid Travel Guide: 112 reviews and 344 photos
We had a very promising weather forecast for Columbus Day weekend and I had just read in the newspaper that the foliage for the Adirondack Mountains in New York state would be at its peak. I hadn't been there in a few years and thought this would be a great chance to experience the beauty of these mountains at its best.
Fantastic Weather! Sunny and clear. Beauty everywhere! Mountains,lakes,streams,gorgeous waterfalls ,gorges and the vibrant "crazy quilt" colors of the autumn leaves.
Being that the weather was spectacular (I was told by some locals that last year at this time there was snow!),the foliage was at its peak and the fact it was both Columbus Day weekend for Americans and Thanksgiving weekend for Canadians ,we weren't the only ones deciding it would be a prime time to visit. The town on Lake Placid itself was packed with tourists,but there were still many places to explore without fighting the crowds. The trip was well worth it.
- Pros:Mountains,lakes,rivers,fantastic fall foliage
- Cons:Snow in the winter(but if you like winter sports, this is a "pro"), hoards of tourists when the weather is good(especially on a holiday weekend)
- In a nutshell:Beautiful!

Loosely coupled snippetsOccasional waffle from Tom Blackburnhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/tblack/atom.aspxTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)2007-08-30T21:14:00ZInstalling Windows 7 on an old machine (code 5 fun…)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tblack/archive/2009/12/03/installing-windows-7-on-an-old-machine-code-5-fun.aspx2009-12-03T20:32:36Z2009-12-03T20:32:36Z
I recently had to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium on a relative's six year old PC.

Not anticipating any problems I booted from the 32-bit DVD and was expecting the installation process to start. This is when I saw the following BIOS error:

Cannot boot from CD Code 5

After a bit of searching I found that this was because the machine's BIOS is quite old and doesn't support the EFI boot records on the installation media.

Next I dutifully updated the BIOS after burning a CD with the latest BIOS from the motherboard manufacturer's website. Still no joy….

After this failed, I tried installing from a USB stick containing the Windows 7 installation files. Still no joy…

After deducing there was no easy way to force the machine to boot from the Windows 7 media, I thought I'd try and fool it by booting from something it understood.

If this scenario sounds familiar to you, then these are the steps I followed to fix it.

1. Boot the machine from a Vista installation DVD.
2. Choose a language, press Next, then choose Repair My Computer. 3. Next again, ignoring the driver selection, and choose "Command Prompt" for recovery.
4. Remove the Vista DVD and insert the Windows 7 DVD.
5. Change drive to the DVD, in most cases, D:
6. Change directory to the sources folder (cd sources)
7. Run setup by typing setup and pressing return.
8. The Windows 7 set-up should now start

Good luck!

Robocopy has been part of Windows for a little while now. It's an excellent command line tool for copying files around if you haven't seen it before.

New to Windows 7 (and Windows Server 2008 R2) is the /MT option. This causes robocopy to operate in multi-threaded mode which realises a noticeable performance boost. It's well worth trying it next time you have to copy a large number of files around.

e.g.

robocopy \\server\share\folder c:\users\tblack\downloads\folder /tbd /s /z /mt

You can see a full list of the available options by typing

robocopy /?

within a command prompt window. This is the help for the /mt option.

/MT[:n] :: Do multi-threaded copies with n threads (default 8). n must be at least 1 and not greater than 128. This option is incompatible with the /IPG and /EFSRAW options.

Have you ever been writing some code and got to the point where you just can't figure out what the .NET Framework is doing? You know, one of those really gnarly bugs that you just can't decide where the problem lies.

Most good devs will reach for Lutz Roeder's Reflector for .NET at this point and try and figure out what is happening in the .NET Framework. Wouldn't it be nice to have a fully integrated experience where you could debug from your code directly into the .NET Framework code?

Today, Microsoft has announced that later this year, with the final release of Visual Studio .NET 2008, the source code to many of the .NET libraries will be released under the Microsoft Reference License. This means that you can browse and view the source code providing you accept the license terms.

Additionally an Internet facing server will publish symbols for the source to allow an integrated debugging experience in VS.NET 2008. When debugging VS.NET will request source code from the server as needed when a developer steps in to .NET Framework code. The first download of the code will require explicit acceptance of the license but from then on you're free to debug all published .NET Framework source code.

Scott Guthrie has published a post which provides further details along with several screen shots to show how this process works in anger. Check it out here!
tblackhttp://blogs.msdn.com/tblack/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxConverting VS2005 solutions to VS2008 Beta 2 (Orcas)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tblack/archive/2007/08/31/converting-vs2005-solutions-to-vs2008-beta-2-orcas.aspx2007-08-31T15:26:00Z2007-08-31T15:26:00Z
Visual Studio .NET 2008 (codename Orcas) is just around the corner. With the release of Beta2 a few weeks ago I decided to update some of our work to use VS.NET 2008 Beta 2 instead of VS.NET 2005.

VS.NET 2008 Beta 2 introduces a host of productivity improvements for developers. Many of these are documented on Scott Guthrie's blog entry here. Of particular interest to me is the multi-targeting feature introduced in Orcas. With previous versions of VS.NET each version was tied to a particular release of the .NET Framework.

So, you have:

VS.NET 2002 can only build .NET 1.0.
VS.NET 2003 can only build .NET 1.1.
VS.NET 2005 can only build .NET 2.0.

Orcas allows the following permutations:

VS.NET 2008 can build .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.0 or .NET 3.5.

There's a great blog post by Soma here if you want to learn more about the differences between some of the more recent versions of the .NET Framework including an explanation of 'red' bits and 'green' bits.

Multi-targeting is important to me because our customers currently use VS.NET 2005 and may well continue to do so for some time after VS.NET 2008 RTMs. Yet I'd like our development team to get the most out of the cool new features in Orcas without having to wait for all of our customers to upgrade. Multi-targeting allows us to do this by using VS.NET 2008 internally but shipping VS.NET 2005 code.

However, there are a few issues to be weary of and I'll describe these below.

When you open a VS.NET 2005 .sln file in VS.NET 2008 Beta 2 the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard steps in to convert files as required. The good news is that the .csproj file formats have not changed. However the .sln, .vsmdi amd .testrunconfig file formats have all changed.

If the conversion wizard runs fine, the resulting solution should compile and run in VS.NET 2008 Beta 2 quite happily. For our project we need to ship the source code as well as binaries so the upgraded projects have to also continue working in VS.NET 2005 and this is where I found problems.

Because we must maintain compatibility between the two VS.NET versions, and we have incompatible file formats (.sln, .vsmdi & .testrunconfig) we maintain multiple copies of the files that have changed format. This means that under source control we have:

Main.sln AND MainVS9.sln
Main.vsmdi AND MainVS9.vsmdi
LocalWithCoverage.testrunconfig AND LocalWithCoverageVS9.testrunconfig

Maintaining parallel copies of these files isn't great but due to our requirement to support both formats and lack of time to develop an automated build based solution this is what we have at present.

Conversion problems

This issue is to do with the .csproj files for Web Application Projects which are format compatible between VS.NET 2005 and VS.NET 2008 Beta 2. If I open my original unconverted Main.sln in VS.NET 2005 it references the converted, but compatible, .CSProj files contained in my solution. Within any Web Application Projects the conversion changes the following line (amongst other things)

Before conversion:

  <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />

After conversion:

  <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v9.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />

If you try this on a machine without VS.NET 2008 Beta 2 installed the project will fail to load because it cannot find the v9.0 path being referred to. The solution is to alter the converted line and replace it (using Notepad) with:

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" Condition=" '$(Solutions.VSVersion)' == '8.0'" />

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v9.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" Condition=" '$(Solutions.VSVersion)' == '9.0'" />

This way the correct version of the Web Application Projects targets will be loaded depending on the version of VS.NET you are using.

For the last couple of years I've been working in a team collaborating with the UK National Health Service (NHS). We've worked extensively with patient safety experts, clinicians, user interface designers, ISVs and representatives from the NHS' IT agency - Connecting for Health.

The purpose of this work? To produce a set of ASP.NET AJAX and Winforms controls together with some associated guidance that attempts to standardize clinical user interfaces. The guidance is designed to be platform agnostic so that it can be used in a broad range of environments. Whereas the controls embody the guidance using the Microsoft platform.

Two years ago the work started out as some early prototypes, preliminary guidance and some embryonic ASP.NET 2.0 Beta 2 controls. While the guidance work progressed we spun up a parallel track of work to develop a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Demonstrator. This had many purposes that included engaging ISVs, providing a visionary look at future clinical user interfaces and demonstrating the capabilities of Microsoft's emerging UI platform.

While the Demonstrator proved to be very successful in raising the profile of the work we were doing it was clear that ISVs had a more immediate need for controls they could use in their current generation of applications. For this reason we've spent the last 6 months producing a set of ASP.NET AJAX based controls that lean heavily on the functionality provided by the AJAX Control Toolkit. They come complete with SDK style documentation that integrates into the Visual Studio help collection.

Until very recently much of this work has remained between Microsoft, the NHS and selected ISVs. However recently, with the encouragement of Microsoft Corporate Healthcare, much of the work has been published publicly at http://www.mscui.net. A large part of the guidance produced to date is available for download as well as the associated controls along with their source code.

We're starting to see some discussion now in the wider community and I'd encourage anyone with an interest in improving patient safety via a common user interface to participate in the discussions forums.

The work will continue now and is planned for at least another 18 months. We'll continue to work with our partners and listen to the community as we strive to work towards better, more consistent and safer clinical user interfaces.

Baby Food Maker Mead Johnson Opens China Bribery Probe
Mead Johnson Nutrition Co., the U.S. infant food maker that gets almost a third of sales from China, is investigating whether bribes may have been paid by its Chinese unit.
The internal probe is looking at whether the unit paid bribes in violation of Chinese and U.S. law to promote the sale of its products, the Glenview, Illinois-based company said yesterday in a statement. The voluntary investigation was started at the request of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is being handled by an outside law firm.
"We have committed to doing a thorough job of supplying them with whatever they want," Chief Executive Officer Peter Kasper Jakobsen said on a conference call. "We don't have a timeline here."
U.S. and European drugmakers and health-care companies have been under investigation by Chinese authorities since at least June, when London-based pharmaceuticals company GlaxoSmithKline Plc announced a probe. Mead Johnson, which makes the Enfamil formula products, and Paris-based Danone were among six dairy companies that were fined 670 million yuan ($109 million) in August for fixing prices in China.
Mead Johnson provided few other details of the probe.
No Prediction
"At this time, the company is unable to predict the scope, timing or outcome of this ongoing matter or any regulatory or legal actions that may be commenced related to this matter," Mead Johnson said in the statement.
Christopher Perille, a Mead Johnson spokesman, didn't return telephone calls and an e-mail requesting more details on the probe.
Mead Johnson fell 2.5 percent to $80.32 at the close in New York yesterday. The stock has gained 16 percent in the past 12 months.
The company also reported third-quarter earnings, excluding certain items, of 91 cents a share, beating the average of 80 cents of 14 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Mead Johnson also raised its full-year profit forecast to $3.30 to $3.37 a share from $3.22 to $3.30.
Glaxo faces allegations it traded in sexual favors and had spurious travel and meeting expenses amounting to 3 billion yuan. Eli Lilly & Co. said in August it was investigating allegations that its employees paid bribes and kickbacks to Chinese doctors. Paris-based Sanofi faces an investigation over similar allegations.
Danone also faces a probe after Chinese government authorities this month accused the company of paying bribes to doctors to boost business for its infant formula sales there.

Gingrich Wins in South Carolina
Newt Gingrich won a resounding, come-from-behind victory Saturday in South Carolina's Republican primary, beating Mitt Romney by more than 12 percentage points and opening the way for a potentially contentious battle within the GOP between the establishment and insurgent wings of the party.
The sheer scope of the win punctured the air of inevitability that Mr. Romney had tried to build around his candidacy. Exit polls showed that South Carolina's conservative electorate did not embrace Mr. Romney's arguments that he is best suited to revive the economy and to defeat President Barack Obama
Mr. Gingrich's win came just over a week after his back-of-the-pack finish in New Hampshire's primary, raising questions about his viability as a candidate. Now, he has scrambled the Republican nomination race and ended the prospects that the party would consolidate quickly around a nominee.

Gingrich Takes South Carolina
Newt Gingrich came from behind to overtake front-runner Mitt Romney in South Carolina's primary.
The win is a significant milestone for Mr. Gingrich, whose candidacy was severely damaged last summer when most of his top aides resigned en masse after they questioned whether he had the focus to be a viable candidate. He carried on with little staff or money afterward—and now has won in the state whose victor has been chosen the GOP nominee in every contest since 1980.
With all the precincts counted, Mr. Gingrich had 40.4% of the vote to Mr. Romney's 27.8%. Former Sen. Rick Santorum trailed with 17%, followed by Rep. Ron Paul at 13%. Mr. Gingrich carried all but a handful of counties, while Mr. Romney won in Beaufort and Charleston along the coast, and the county that includes Columbia.
Speaking to a packed room of supporters in Columbia, the state's capital, Mr. Gingrich said his win was a rebuke to the "elites in Washington and New York." He also acknowledged that he was tilting against many of the elites within his own party.
"We want to run, not a Republican campaign, we want to run an American campaign," he said.
Foreshadowing the testy tenor of the race to come, Mr. Romney took aim at Mr. Gingrich after the polls closed, saying that "our party can't be lead to victory by someone who has never run a business and never run a state…That's a mistake for our party, for our nation.''
He also referred to Mr. Gingrich's attacks of Mr. Romney's work with Bain Capital, a private-equity firm. Those who "disparage" economic success "are not going to be fit to be our nominee," he said.
The nomination contest race now heads to Florida, a far larger and more expensive state for the candidates. Mr. Romney's rivals face a challenge in surmounting his superior organizational and financial edge in the Jan. 31 primary there.
The results mean that a different winner has carried each of the first three contests of the GOP nomination process—a circumstance that has never arisen in the modern primary era. Mr. Santorum narrowly defeated Mr. Romney in the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses, while Mr. Romney won the New Hampshire primary on Jan. 10—a contest where Mr. Gingrich even finished behind Jon Huntsman Jr., who subsequently dropped out of the race.
The vote showed how unusually fluid and unpredictable the 2012 primary fight has become: More than half of all South Carolina voters said they made up their minds in the last few days, according to surveys conducted as voters left their polling places. Nearly nine in 10 said their choice was influenced by televised debates among the candidates.
Just days ago, Mr. Romney appeared poised to sweep the first three races, in what many Republicans began to see as a steady march to the nomination. But a final tally in Iowa on Thursday stripped Mr. Romney of his tentative victory there and shifted it to Mr. Santorum, just as polls in the Palmetto State showed voters swinging behind Mr. Gingrich.
Mr. Gingrich's message appeared to resonate in a state that has the highest unemployment rate of the three that have voted so far. Mr. Gingrich won a plurality of the 88% of voters who characterized their family's economic situation as "holding steady" or "falling behind." Among the 11% who said they were "getting ahead," Mr. Gingrich fought to a draw with Mr. Romney.
Exit polls showed two central arguments of Mr. Romney's candidacy coming under challenge among South Carolina's conservative electorate.
Mr. Romney has cast himself as a successful businessman with the experience suited to lifting the economy. But Mr. Gingrich won a plurality of voters most concerned about the economy.
Potentially just as alarming for the Romney camp, voters in the campaign's first Southern state saw Mr. Gingrich as best suited to defeat President Barack Obama. Mr. Romney has focused most of campaign rhetoric on attacking Mr. Obama, an effort to cast himself as best able to take the GOP argument to him in November. But voters sided with Mr. Gingrich over Mr. Romney on the electability question by nine percentage points.
Mr. Gingrich also won the largest slice of both tea-party voters and evangelical Christians.
One big question as the focus shifts to Florida is the fate of Mr. Santorum, who appears to have failed in South Carolina to persuade conservative voters to make him the main rival to Mr. Romney. Mr. Santorum plans to begin campaigning in Florida on Sunday afternoon and will compete in the campaign's 18th debate Monday night in Tampa.
Mr. Romney enters the Florida phase with some clear advantages. He has a vast team of local organizers across the state, many of whom have focused on getting absentee ballots into the hands of Romney supporters.
As of Saturday, some 185,435 Republican absentee ballots have been returned or cast, according to Brian Hughes, a spokesman for the Republican Party of Florida. In 2008, about 1.95 million votes were cast in the GOP primary.
Mr. Romney saw his double-digit lead in opinion surveys in South Carolina evaporate over the past week, as he struggled to win over the state's notoriously conservative voters and to answer questions about whether he would release his tax forms, in the face of persistent questions from his GOP rivals.
The South Carolina stand had an opposite effect on Mr. Gingrich, who limped into the state after a pair of lackluster finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire, only to catapult himself back into contention with a pair of overpowering debate performances in which he scored points with conservatives, in part by lashing out at the moderators.
Saturday's result makes it easier for Mr. Gingrich to pitch himself as the conservative alternative to Mr. Romney—not Mr. Santorum.
The former Pennsylvania senator has now failed in two successive contests to build off of his unexpected Iowa surge—and after he won the backing of dozens of influential evangelical leaders. His distant finish in South Carolina is particularly troubling, because he failed to generate enough enthusiasm from the state's influential evangelical voters to narrow the gap with Mr. Gingrich or Mr. Romney.
Mr. Santorum had criticized Mr. Romney as boring and run-of-the-mill, and Mr. Gingrich as erratic and undisciplined. "I couldn't be more excited to see this race move on to Florida," Mr. Santorum said on CNN after congratulating Mr. Gingrich for his victory.
Mr. Santorum predicted that his conservative backing and momentum would prove more "long-lasting" than that of Mr. Gingrich, and he pledged to campaign in several states in the weeks ahead.
"As a result of what happened tonight, this race isn't going to be over this week, or next week," Mr. Santorum said.
A cheerful Mr. Paul told supporters he's still in this race: "We will continue to do this, there's no doubt about it." He pointed out that less than 2% of the delegates have been chosen so far as the crowd erupted into loud cheers of "End the Fed!"
The race became intensely personal in South Carolina. The candidates and their allies ran millions of dollars in negative ads to drag down their opponents, and the candidates' debates included a series of feisty exchanges between the four remaining main contenders.
Mr. Gingrich, in particular, benefited from two heated exchanges with moderators during the South Carolina debates. On Monday, he lashed out at Juan Williams of Fox News for asking him whether he thought he might have offended black people for saying inner-city kids should get janitorial jobs at the schools they attend to imbue them with a strong work ethic. On Thursday, he laid into CNN's John King for opening the debate with a question about his ex-wife's allegations that he had asked her for an open marriage.

I love this fine piece of art because it shows that one day you can grow up to be something great. I love it. I also love the comedy involved with underwear. I love underwear jokes. Clean underwear or dirty underwear. I LOVE UNDERWEAR JOKES!!!!!! Even though when they are dirty sometimes my nose turns so luckily they are clean. Again, I love it. I can't stop saying that for this wonderful piece. I also have big dreams about getting big and strong, so I have a little bit of a connection. For the last time, this piece is awesome.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
36 out of 37 deviants thought this was fair.
This is a very cute and amazing piece. It has a great impact, and is very relatable, except its underwear. Also, this is my first critique so I'm sorry if I'm rubbish at it. Anywho, this is just wonderful. The underwear is like a kid, it's looking up to someone, who in this case is the boxers. I'm sure you have had a time in your life when you look up to some one, everyone has, so that's why it's truly amazing. I'm sure you've been told this, but it find the only weak points as the background. I know you focus on the foreground, but I always like seeing a little something extra, but that's ok. We all know you should do what you want too, not what others want you to.

I HATE BOXERS YOU CAN'T MOVE IN THEM but this is so funny <3
I thought this was going to be "Boxers vs. Briefs" and i was going to say "What about Commando?"
Couldn't stop laughing seeing this haha.
And then he becomes boxer-briefs.
I wonder if there are any hipsters.
Boxer...Shorts...I assume? xD
love it
Regrettably he lived a brief life.
and that is why jocks act tough
lol ^^
"You ever boxed before?" "Briefly."
well this is pretty....
That joke was pretty Brief.
boxers win
I am BIG fan of your artwork, the ideas behind all of it is pure genius and the art is amazing.
haha cool
And thus Boxer-Briefs were born.
hilarious )
after seeing this and your other works i have say I'm very Impressed with the humor. It's very original and cute
Ah the age old question that has been plaguing people since clothes were first made. Briefs or Boxers.
The word ruins it a bit....
AHA!! Awww!!
Well, that was brief.
Nicely put.
DANGIT people.... quit beating me to the PUNCH
I guess you'll have to start from SCRATCH. [The positions of boxers who faced each other at the beginning of a bout used to be marked by a scratched line and boxing has the best claim to have been the source of 'toe the scratch' (toe the line).]
Don't worry, boxers aren't everything, they take forever at least you're "brief" lmfao
lol xD ehe, good one
Too cute!
Boxer Briefs.
pantie and boxer? xDDD
This made my day!
