ASP.NET 2.0 delivers major enhancements for anyone who wants to build enterprise-class, database-enabled web applications. If you'd like to make the most of that platform, Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Databases is the resource you've been searching for.
Leading application architect (and Professional ASP.NET 2.0 XML author) Thiru Thangarathinam starts by illuminating ADO.NET's architecture and data providers. You'll walk through all the basics – opening connections, executing SQL statements, and so forth. Next, one at a time, you'll master ASP.NET 2.0's powerful data source and data bound controls, including the new SqlDataSource control.
Once you understand these controls, you'll use them to accomplish increasingly sophisticated tasks -- culminating with two start-to-finish case studies that show how ASP.NET's powerful database features come together and go to work. Bill Camarda, from the March 2007 Read Only

So I "sacrificed" this XML functionality to allow use Tora with Instanclient. The other option would be to cast SYS.XMLTYPE to Clob and use it as pure string. Would be it OK for you?

Perceptual Movement of Sounds Fed Through Multiway Loudspeakers Perpendicularly Set Up
Vertical localization and perceptual movement of auditory images were investigated through 8 loudspeakers perpendicularly set up with each loudspeaker 30cm apart. The results obtained by over 20 observers show that the localization was fairly identified for one octave bands of noises with the center frequencies from 2 to 8 kHz and smooth movement of auditory images from low to high was perceived when a stimulus consisting of one octave bands of noises was linearly climbed up with a various movement speed.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
To mark the U.S. premiere of Iron Man 3 on Friday, Mondo will offers three limited-edition posters created by Phantom City Creative and Martin Ansin. As usual, they'll go on sale at random times, so you'll have to follow the boutique on Twitter.
The Toronto-based Phantom City Creative previously produced a Captain America poster for Marvel's The Avengers. Their Iron Man 3 print, which appears to feature all of Tony Stark's armors, can be purchased for $45.
A veteran of Mondo's film-poster offerings, Martin Ansin last year created a Thor print for The Avengers. His Iron Man 3 poster comes in two flavors: a 450-copy gold version ($50), and a 200-copy silver version ($75).
The last two look really bad ass.

Is it possible to add more than one page to one QGIS print composer Project? For example one sheet for the map and another sheet for the legend ans some other informations. Thanks in advance, Patrick
Yes, it is.
You can change the number of pages in the print composer composition tab in "paper and quality" options.
From that point, you can put items in any of the pages. You can even put several maps if that fits your needs.

What About Poland?

I have a hard time buying into that study. It seems an awful lot like a European version of the Bell Curve. Doesn't IQ depend, at least partly, on education? I've taken an IQ test before and many of the questions seemed to be dependent on the test-taker's education level.

Occasionally, one of my users will be unable to connect to our web-based email (simple timeout, page cannot be displayed, errors). The problem persists for days (and between reboots) then eventually resolves itself, only to reoccur some time later. I checked all the basics, then broke down and took a packet capture.
It looks like the mail server simply does not respond.
Packets go out, and after a while, a reset would come in. The user was initially behind double NAT. After removing the second router, the resets disappeared, leading me to believe something in the middle was sending resets. Now I see
Bad CheckSum errors on the requests sent from the browser. I disabled TCP checksum offloading, which changed nothing. Most other packets do not show a
Bad CheckSum error. All of the packets headed towards our server do show the error.
The site works on other computers on the network. If I switch to a mobile hotspot, the site works. If I load the site in web-based proxy, it works (probably irrelevant). Switching to WiFi on the same connection (to eliminate driver issues) does not work. I checked the firewall and logs server-side; everything seems normal.
What can I do to troubleshoot this issue?
Sorry for the bad title. If you think of something clearer, feel free to edit.

The rescheduled match was worn down by the conditions, and perhaps rust from a league break.The Columbus Crew and FC Dallas played to a scoreless draw in the teams' return to Major League Soccer play after a two-week break for the World Cup.
The match was set to be played Saturday but had to be rescheduled after a storm blew through the area and a man in the Crew Stadium parking lot was hospitalized after sustaining a lightning strike. The man, 54-year-old Columbus firefighter Stu Tudor is listed in critical condition at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
Despite the World Cup break, the hosts were still without Giancarlo Gonzalez and Waylon Francis, who will suit up for Costa Rica when it faces Greece in the round of 16.
MORE: Worst hairstyles | Beautiful people in Brazil
The absences, delays and afternoon heat showed on the match, which was characterized more by the chances missed than any taken.
In the first half, Dallas' Andres Escobar set up fellow forward Tesho Akindele. He should've scored, but the young Canadian couldn't continue his recent positive run of form, missing a vacant net. Though his chance looked sure to be the most egregious miss of the match, Crew forward Jairo Arrieta missed the goal entirely with five minutes left when it looked as though the Dallas defense and goalkeeper Chris Seitz were beaten.
Both teams return to action Friday for Fourth of July matches.

While I was doing some research on Ruby + Rails, I cam across Node.Js. I have seen people bring it up before but I have never understood it. From some of the blogs I have been reading, they say it...
Instead of trying to have someone on here do most of the work, why don't you learn the basics of those said languages first?
This got me thinking, and I was trying to figure it out while I was at work. However I ran out of time to get it working before I go out of town tonight.
I was doing some digging and came across...
I have been stuck on this problem for a few hours, and since I am about to get off work, I decided to ask for some helps.
I have a horizontal rule and created a line that fades at both ends.
It would be simpler to do it with CSS instead of JS. Here is how you could do it with CSS.

No problem!
First off, my name is Brandon or like my friends calls me peezy. I am from sunny San Diego and currently a Jr. Web Developer/DB Admin. I plan on helping out as much as possible around here and learn...
I copied it onto my localhost and it works fine.
Instead of using "jquery-1.3.2.min.js" replace it with "//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js" and see if it works.
You should wrap your code in the [code] bracket so it will be easier for people to read.
Also, what does the rest of the file look like?
Thanks, It helps a lot!
Thanks for the information! I ended up using the JSON Object for the screenSize like you suggested. One question I do have about it though, why and where to use a JSON Object? I read around and...
Thanks, I ended up removing all jquery from it and focusing on vanilla JS.
Plain JS is a big wake up call for me, so I am sure I will be back with lots of questions!

My website, Projectisimo is in its development stages. I am having some problems in using the post slider plugin, Featured Content Slider. It is in my 'Settings' but I cannot find it in my website.
Also, the theme I am using, Zincious, does not let me write the name of my website on it. I would like to change that to Projectisimo.
My Slider on the home page is brown and I would like to change that colour to Black. There are some instructions on how to edit Zincious on this page but, being new to WordPress and web design, I have no clue what they mean.
Also, for the thumbnails (or whatever you call them, the images), on the home page both in the slider and under it, I was wondering how to put an image in. Do I just put an image in my post and it will appear as a thumbnail? Thanks.
I would also like to install my Featured Content Slider onto the 'Featured' page of my blog.
Please can you help? I'm new to WordPress and am REALLY confused.

Globetrotting Cake…Argentina
The latest in our Globetrotting Cake series takes us to Argentina, land of the Tango, the gaucho, and the most shades of the colour blue imaginable.
Argentinians have a very sweet tooth, enjoying as they do the ubiquitous dulce de leche (milk caramel) for breakfast spread on toast, as an afternoon snack in an alfajore – a round biscuit usually sandwiched with dulce de leche filling and covered in chocolate, and to accompany panqueque (pancakes) as dessert.
As I've mentioned before on this blog, I'm a big fan of afternoon tea. So when the chance came up to experience it in the Garden Room at the Alvear Palace Hotel in Buenos Aires, who was I to refuse?
Aside from the delicious range of individual desserts and cakes, the winner for me was their 'dessert chariot'. This conjured up images of an all-conquering Roman riding into the tea room aboard a horse drawing a chariot filled with desserts. Alas it was not that theatrical (perhaps something to feed back to them as an idea though?) but merely a hostess trolley wheeled in by a charming young waiter.
To accompany my tea I opted for the Patagonia Berry tea, a blend of rose petals, blueberries, red berries and currants. Afterall, when in Rome…
Patagonia is a well-renowned chocolate hub and many of the towns there have more chocolate shops than restaurants, such is their passion for it. Of course the restaurants do their bit, serving chocolate fondues for dessert too. The chocolate shops tout every conceivable kind of chocolate, from truffles, supersized flakes to oversize slabs all neatly laid out in never-ending counters.
Of course it's not only sweet treats that Argentina do so well, for their countryside is truly majestic and there are some incredible vistas to be marvelled at all over the country:

Re: Financial Follies that Break the Relationsh
tpatterson2k9 wrote:
Seeing as how finances are the number one reason couples get divorced, I was curious about hearing from the myFICO community about what particular financial follies a partner has that would either end the relationship or, at the minimum, erase any thought of marrying that person due to the folly.
I don't know if I'm just being too picky or not, but there is one thing my girlfriend does that, albeit is not the worse thing in the world, indicates to me that she would not know how to control her spending later down the line. As much convincing as it took, I finally got her to sign up for the Amex Blue Cash Everyday card not too long ago because of the awesome rewards (she had no prior rewards CCs). Before she signed up, I told her all about the extra cash back she would have coming her way if she just started putting all the charges she normally makes on her debit card on her Amex card instead. Well, it's been about two months and she still refuses to use her rewards CC. After genuinely and politely asking her why, she explained that she doesn't think she could manage to only charge what she could afford each month. To me, the fact that she doesn't have a general idea of her monthly budget or spending is a big red flag, especially since she should know because of her frequent debit card use. The way I look at this is she's just saying no thanks to free money, but maybe that's just me.
So what are some of the not-so-desirable financial behaviors you've witnessed in a current on ex partner that really made you think twice about getting serious with that person?
If she's not overspending, it's no folly at all.
Peace of mind beats 3, 2, or 1%.

Politics Gregoire: North Korea Missile Launch Threat = Pull Out of Iraq
Postman has an interesting quote from Gov. Christine Gregoire regarding the threatened long-range missile test by North Korea. Check out this map of the North Pacific and you'll see why our governor is now speaking out on U.S. foreign policy. Or check out this sentence from today's New York Times:
U.S. officials have said the missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2, has a firing range of 9,300 miles and could reach as far as the U.S. West Coast.
Think Tim Eyman is scary, Washingtonians? Meet Kim Jong Il. Here's what Gregoire said at the end of her regular media availability yesterday:
"I've wanted to respond to the very disturbing news this morning of North Korea and a three-stage rocket that literally could reach Seattle. And I wanted to do so by saying to people of the state of Washington, this reinforces me and the state that our security is going to have to be at the forefront of our thinking and our attention that in fact out there remains considerable risk around the world. Not just to Washington state but to the entire country. And I think that also tells me very clearly, in talking to General Lowenberg, that it is very important that we, as timely as we possibly can, ensure that we are turning Iraq over to the Iraqi people and bringing our troops home so they are ready and prepared to do whatever is necessary to defend this country.
"I'm disturbed by what we're hearing. It is not the news that I think any of us should have to hear from North Korea and I want Washingtonians to understand the security risks to the nation and to us, but to understand that we've got to remain ever diligent and I ask every Washingtonian to be smart about their own personal security, and again any time they see something that raises a concern they get to law enforcement right away."
I don't know that the Washington National Guard, even with all its troops home from Iraq, has the capability to stop (or clean up after) a direct intercontinental ballistic missile strike on Seattle. But it's interesting to hear how the governor is connecting the dots on this issue.

Updated: Westmoreland teen killed in crash

Second teen seriously injured
A Westmoreland County teenager is dead following a single-vehicle crash this morning, Thursday, March 18, 2010. At 8:21 a.m., Virginia State Police Trooper J. M. Brooks was called to the scene on Route 625, Horners Mill Road, approximately a quarter of a mile west of Route 697, Lapkin Road, in Westmoreland County.
A 1995 Saturn Coupe was traveling east on Route 625 when the driver ran off the right side of the roadway, over-corrected and struck a tree. The passenger, Jareka Shepherd, 14, of Westmoreland County, died at the scene. Shepherd was wearing her safety belt.
The 17-year-old driver was seriously injured in the crash and flown to Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg. It is not clear whether the driver was wearing his safety belt.
The Virginia State Police Division One Accident Reconstruction Team is assisting with the investigation of the fatal crash. The cause of the crash is still under investigation and charges are pending at this time.
Westmoreland School Superintendent Elaine Fogliani released the following statement regarding the two occupants of the car who were both students at Washington & Lee High School:
On Thursday, March 18, 2010, a ninth grade student at Washington and Lee High school was in a car accident, resulting in her death. Another student was seriously injured and taken to a hospital. We have not received any further word on his condition at this time.
This student's death is a tragic, emotional loss for the entire Westmoreland County Public School family. I am sure all of us will make every effort to comfort and support the family as they attempt to deal with this traumatic loss. There are no adequate words to express our sense of grief and sympathy for the family.
Because her death is felt so deeply by so many, on Thursday and thereafter, as needed, counselors are at the school to discuss the accident and loss with students and faculty.
The family, friends, and the school are deeply saddened by this tragic loss to our school family. Please join us in supporting the student's family.
PASSENGER – DECEASED: Jareka Shepherd, 14, Westmoreland County
DRIVER: Male, 17, of Westmoreland County

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Girls On Film Hardcore has so many women in it; it's hard to keep track of them all without a scorecard. This is assuming you care to keep track, as opposed to just watching them fuck and get fucked.
There is a scene in this feature that is simply scorching. It's a four-on-one with Nicole Sheridan, Maya Devine, Gina Ryder, and Chenin Blanc, all posing as nurses and fucking one very lucky man silly. It's really fucking hot to watch these girls all take on one cock at once, especially when they're all sucking it.
The premise of the feature, in which a photographer is shooting these scenes, sometimes gets in the way, here, as the artiness of the thing sometimes gets in the way of the action. Still, though, based on the appeal of that one scene alone, this is better fare than most.
Retailing: There are a ton of hot chicks in this feature.

Having an issue with our blog page at:
For some reason the formatting and content on this page changed recently so that now all you can see is a page with list of large bold post titles.
The theme used is Mystique 1.16 by digitalnature with recent manually created Child Theme. Realise this is a very old version of Mystique but had to roll back on a recent theme update as had troubles with site getting very messed up.
So want to fix the blog first, then will worry about trying the theme update again.

Skip to comments.Caption Israeli Children Inscribing 155mm Artillery Shells (ARTY Graffiti)
Posted on 07/17/2006 6:31:13 PM PDT by DCBryan1
click here to read article
They're too young to be Hezbollah missle targets.
They're too young to be told they are evil.
They're too young to see terrorist homicide bombers in their neighborhoods.
They're too young to carry cell phones simply to check and see if Mom & Dad were blown to pieces in the latest attack.
They're not too young to write prayers on an Israeli missle.
gives new meaning to "causes massive heart attack"
Either way, I think children and the instruments of warfare shouldn't mix.
They're already involved. They live there.
And actually this is a great way for them to feel more powerful in their daily lives.
I'm actually kind inclined to agree with you....
I always make fun of the mindless death cults in the West Bank dressing their kids up, so I'm a little leery of seeing this as a great PR move for the Israeli's.
But I'm not there on the ground, so it's just me 2 cents, just thinking of how this photo can be used against Israel, 'cause you know it will be....
Moshe Katsav, President of the state of Israel, 01.22.2001
"Powder! Pigfat! Ball! Fire"!!!!!!!!!!!
While I am not Jewish, I say Shalom and I thank you for your rightful measure of proper thinking and allegiance to the fight of good versus evil.
I'm reminded of the admonishment, " Suffer the little ones to come unto me."
I find that hard to believe, no offense intended. They look to be eigth graders. I don't recall the Brits resorting to child labor during WWII, especially if it involved something as potentially dangerous as a hand grenade.
Yeah, they do look young, but in the Imperial War Museum in London, they have pictures of pre teens carrying grenade assemblies (w/o fuses) in boxes...whether they actually screwed the fuses to Comp B packed grenade bodies...i doubt it also. I do know that midschool aged boys assembled STENS all day long (I have a couple of STEN guns that look like they are assembled by teenagers ;)....but I would agree with you that these girls are a little younger I guess. Still....we get each other.
I think it's true, actually. Not the hand grenades, but shells sometimes.
"Collecting papers and pennies is a little different that enscribing an artillery shell."
Oh, for the love of. . . .
Do you think Israeli children are panty waists? They grow up in households where there are at least two issued arms from the Israeli Defense Forces because EVERYONE serves in the military reserve. Every Israeli of a certain age serves in the military, and Israeli children are prepared from an early age to understand that they will one day also have a firearm in their closet.
When I was in college, I took Hebrew at our local community college [I'm not Jewish] the year the '67 war broke out. A girl--girl--in my class was called up as soon as the war broke out. She spent five days trying to get a priority into the country. By the time she arrived, much of the fighting was moving toward the fleeing Egyptian army. She ended up as a translator helping to round up prisoners because she is fluent in Egyptian. When she was a school girl, she was schooled in basic military operations.
THAT is what Israeli children do. If you don't like it, why don't you move to Israel, run of Knesset and change it. But don't thrust your fears onto Israeli children. They have enough to be concerned about.
I think we have a winner for best caption.
You have a lot to learn about what it is like to live in Israel, how it is for Israeli children there.
How long will you trouble this world with your mediocrity ?
No, I mean the propaganda that isolates Israel from otherwise rational people in the world.
Last time I checked, this sort of thing was illegal in Israel and people are prosecuted when they are caught.
I understand that in our circle of friends you may not hear the gory details of what really goes down in Tel Aviv. I suppose it is better that way. It protects you from the harsh reality of Israel.
Do you think the U.S. looks good having sexual slaves from Mexico turning the tricks Americans won't do?
Nope, which is why I support capital punishment in most cases.
BTW, the girls in the photo of this thread made the MSM today because Arab bloggers are now linking to it to inflame people watching photos of the bombed out neighborhoods in Beirut.
I just want them to see the bombed out neighborhoods of Beirut in the context of the terrorists being absolutely destroyed, not innocent Israeli children being used as pawns by stupid, extremely stupid and irresponsible, adults.
to al jazzera; this just in!
Now that's what I call community spirit!
Too bad we can't get our kids to sign bombs being dropped on the Taliban. What a school project that would be. Much better than pretending to be Muslim for a week.
BOHICA! (Bend Over, Here It Comes Again).
I love it!
This ordinance brought to you by Farmer John. Eastern most in quality, Western most in flavor! (Anyone remember when they sponsered Dick Sinclair's Polka Parade?)
Who knows what they have written, but I hope it's something really good ;)
FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
There once was a woman from Haifa....
Sounds like that reporter from Ohio who talked the kids into riding their bikes through flood waters has jumped bail.
The arabs don't see children. They see two young female soldiers and a grown up female soldier. They brag all the time about how it's ok to kill Israeli children because they have universal military service.
When I was a kid we were out playing Israeli Army during the Six-day War. I mean literally during it. My parents told Arab jokes. I repeated them. We weren't ashamed of wanting Israel's enemies dead.
Payback's a b!tch!
Apply directly to the forehead.
This isn't about celebrating death. It's about fighting back. Maybe they should just stay in their bomb shelter and wait for "somebody from the government" to do their fighting back for them.
I liked your post. Maybe the kids should be home practicing putting on their government issue gas masks instead of writing on the ordinance, eh? These people are too much. The day is coming when kids will be doing what they have to do, not "being kids" as if they're in some sort of bubble or something.
Sometimes circumstances dictate that kids grow up early.
@#$#$% media. This one will backfire on them. Darling little girls, and to hell with the 5th columnist, socialist appeasers!
I don't think that people get how Israelis live day to day. Some of the comments on these threads prove that. Let the kids blow off some steam in a healthy way. Go Farmer John! (bf says no way would the rabbi bless pig fat to smear on the warheads???)
That blogger is way off base with his attempt at moral equivalency between girls writing messages to Nasrallah and the other terrorists who are bombing them and the terrorists themselves, or terrorists who brainwash their children into becoming suicide bombers.
Some do. Some do not. You are projecting. If you believe what you is there not someone in your city, province, state that you can kill tonight because they speak Arabic ?
When I was a kid we were out playing Israeli Army during the Six-day War. I mean literally during it. My parents told Arab jokes. I repeated them. We weren't ashamed of wanting Israel's enemies dead.
Arab jokes, Mexican jokes, Jewish jokes, Polish jokes; same behavior different targets
"Maybe the kids should be home practicing putting on their government issue gas masks instead of writing on the ordinance, eh?"
Thanks for your comment.
In another post on this thread, I mentioned that, though I not Jewish, I took modern Hebrew in college. One of my classmates
was called up during the '67 war and ended up rounding up Egyptian prisoners because she was fluent in Egyptian.
The instructor of that class was the wife of a rabbi. Though they were not orthodox, they wished to eventually emigrate to Israel--Aliyah. Because he was not orthodox, he could not be a rabbi in Israel, so when they went on sabbatical, it was alwasy a year to Israel where they would stay on a kibbutz. Rabbi's kibbutz job was in the kitchen, and he always drew the breakfast shift. He was also a great practical joker, and we always thorougly enjoyed it when he would come to class. One morning, while he was in the kitchen, his wife, our instructor, was asleep. Her bed kept shaking. She, in her sleepy state, believed it was rabbi shaking her bed to wake her up. Suddenly, the door banged open and rabbi ran in in his kitchen garb. He was yelling something at her that was difficult for her to understand because she was still sleepy. (I've been in that state, often.) Finally, he ran to their bed, dragged her and the children out of their sacks, and they ran for the slit trenches outside their quarters. There was a Syrian (or Hezbollah)--I don't remember--artillery barrage walking up the hill. It took some time, of course, for all the parents to get the children calmed down, but this is often the life of an Israeli child.
Another time, rabbi and Mrs. went to Russia to visit during the days of the Soviet Union. Some friends convinced them to try to smuggle copies of Tanakh in, which they did. Of course, being complete amateurs, they were caught totally red-handed. The Soviet authorities took them into custody and isolated them for questioning, but the children were with her. To intimidate her, they came in to take the children away. There is probably no more powerful force in the world than that of being a Jewish mama. She backed the Soviet interrogator down and threatened him with the United States of America. There was an entire story about the incident in our local newspaper.
Again, thanks for your comment.
Thank you for your story. I can see some of the commentors arguing that the parents should not raise their children in such an environment. It 's elitist worldview to think that one can, or even should, shelter children so they don't know what evil lurks.
Let them raise them in the soft United States where they'll be safe! Riight. Visiting my aunt in the country, we were going to paint the fence and my aunt said to one of my young female cousins "You can't go out by the road in a bathing suit bottom and t-shirt -- somebody might see you and come sneakin' around." Nobody argued with her.
Look, we're soft. I'm soft. But at least I know it. I try not to THINK soft because I know the day may come, maybe very soon, when we're going to need every ounce of hardness we can muster. It's really disheartening to me when I hear people complaining about such little things as some kids writing graffiti on an arty shell.
Very nice "Team America" reference!

Very nice job!

I rarely see a photograph over lay that I find REALLY effective. A lot of the time it's kind like... Oh it's kinda cool you can use photoshop... but why?. This is one is one of the rare good ones . Nice work!
Cool stuff you have here!
I like the natural lighting
i love it!
Wow, such a strong and emotive piece! I love the lighting and the details. You did a marvelous job on this deviation!

This is really interesting
This is such an effective composition for the post-war idea. It has that 'something tragic happened here' type of feel. It's sad and erie and beautiful. ^.^
I live in Edinburgh and having walked the Royal Mile many times I can really say this is an amazing piece of art. I can almost imagine the Royal Mile being like this.

|Claude Julien: 'Very doubtful' Adam McQuaid plays for Bruins before Olympic break
|02.03.14 at 12:58 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Adam McQuaid did not skate Monday, and with the B's now five days away from their last game before the Olympic break, B's coach Claude Julien admitted it is "very doubtful" that McQuaid will play before the break.
McQuaid has been limited to 30 games this season, missing the other 24 due to lower-body injuries. He has not played since the team's Jan. 19 game in Chicago due to a leg injury.
'He's hasn't started skating yet, so it would be very doubtful that he would play until after the break," Julien said. "If he's 100 percent, and I checked on him today, they weren't putting him on the ice and he was only going to start skating sometime this week, so he's been out too long for me to throw him out there. I would be very surprised if you see him here.'
David Warsofsky, who was recalled Monday, practiced with the team as he prepares to play Thursday and Saturday with Zdeno Chara out.

|Zdeno Chara to miss two games, pre-break return not ruled out for Adam McQuaid
|02.01.14 at 12:28 pm ET
Claude Julien confirmed Saturday that Zdeno Chara, in addition to missing the last game before the Olympic break against the Senators next Saturday, will miss Thursday's game against the Blues as he heads to Sochi early to carry Slovakia's flag in the opening ceremonies.
The opening ceremonies will take place Friday, so the idea that Chara would have played Thursday night and then traveled cross-country with a six-hour time difference seemed close to impossible. As such, the news that Chara won't play Thursday should come as no surprise. Julien said he is unsure whether Chara will travel to St. Louis with the team and then leave for Russia or stay back in Boston following Tuesday's game against the Canucks.
Adam McQuaid, who has not played since leaving the team's Jan. 19 game against the Blackhawks with a leg injury, continues to work out but has yet to skate. He began to bike about four days ago, estimated Julien.
"If he's 100 percent, he's going to go," Julien said. "We've always said that; there's no use holding a guy back if he's 100 percent, but there's no doubt that if he's not quite there yet, that the next two weeks would be really useful for him. That's what we have to decide here, but especially with Zdeno being gone the last couple of games, if he's 100 percent, you want him in the lineup."
Asked whether it was conceivable that McQuaid could get on the ice in the coming days and be ready for a game in short order, Julien was a bit more reserved in his expectations.
"I don't even know if he's going to get on the ice," Julien admitted. "I haven't gotten that far with him or with the trainers, I should say, but I know he's progressing well. I don't even want to kind of make a prediction because I don't know."

|Adam McQuaid still missing from practice
|01.31.14 at 1:11 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Adam McQuaid was once again the only player absent from practice as the Bruins skated Friday at Ristuccia Arena.
McQuaid has not played since the second period of the team's shootout loss to the Blackhawks on Jan. 19 due to a leg injury. He has missed 23 total games this season due to multiple lower-body injuries.
The Bruins' lines were the same in Friday's practice as they were in Thursday's loss to the Canadiens, with Chris Kelly on the third line with Carl Soderberg and Loui Eriksson.
|Bruins still taking it 'day by day' with injured Adam McQuaid
|01.28.14 at 8:02 pm ET
Claude Julien didn't have much of an update on defenseman Adam McQuaid Tuesday evening, reiterating that the defenseman, who the team has classified as day-to-day with a leg injury, isn't ready to return to the lineup.
McQuaid did not travel with the team to Philadelphia or New York for the team's recent two-game road trip and has not played since leaving the Jan. 19 game against the Blackhawks.
"I haven't paid much attention to that because he is not ready to play yet," Julien said Tuesday. "Whether that's some news for you or not, he's just not ready yet. We're just taking it day by day and waiting for the medical staff to say we can take that next step with him."
McQuaid has not been skating, according to Julien, but the coach said he is at least doing some activity.
"I think he's working out," Julien said. "Again, when guys are injured they are kind of out of my control until they tell me they're ready. So I think he has been working out but I don't know to what extent."
With McQuaid out, Kevan Miller remains in the lineup for the Bruins.
|Dougie Hamilton: 'I'm ready to play now'
|01.24.14 at 1:33 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Both Chris Kelly and Dougie Hamilton will travel to Philadelphia for Saturday's game against the Flyers, with Hamilton saying he is ready to return to the lineup.
Hamilton, who has missed the last four games with a concussion, practiced with his teammates for the second consecutive day Friday and said he was "finally" cleared for contact.
"I think I've been skating now for, I think this is my sixth day, so every day I've felt better and I'm ready to play now," Hamilton said.
Hamilton said he suffered the concussion, which was the first of his career, in the third period of the team's loss to the Kings on Jan. 9 and played the next game against the Sharks.
The concussion is Hamilton's second injury this season, as he missed 10 games from Dec. 10 to Jan. 2 with a knee injury. Hamilton is in his second season and said that the last couple of months have been frustrating given that they've halted the progress of a strong second season.
"I think I'm a lot more comfortable and a lot better defensively, and just feel a lot better on the ice," Hamilton said. "It's just been an unfortunate month or two months or whatever. Hopefully I can just get back into the lineup again and have fun and help the team out."
Kelly also practiced with the team for the second straight day. He has not played since suffering a broken fibula on Dec. 7 against the Penguins. Claude Julien said that there is a chance one or both could return to the lineup Saturday, and noted that Hamilton is closer to returning than Kelly because he has missed less time and is in better game shape.
Adam McQuaid did not practice Friday and will not travel to Philadelphia as he remains out with a leg injury.

|Bruins unsure of Adam McQuaid's timetable
|01.23.14 at 1:03 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Adam McQuaid was not on the ice for Thursday's practice as he remains out with a leg injury. After the practice, Claude Julien said the team doesn't have a good idea of when he will return.
"His injury is an injury that's really hard to assess," Julien said. "That's why I'm giving you guys that day-to-day thing, because nobody, even the medical staff has not been able to give us or pinpoint a time. So it's day-to-day. It depends on how he heals. It could be shorter, it could be longer. We've just got to go about it on a day-to-day situation."
McQuaid missed the second half of Sunday's game in Chicago and all of Monday's game against the Kings. He has missed 19 games this season due to injury.

WILMINGTON — Both Chris Kelly and Dougie Hamilton returned to practice Thursday at Ristuccia Arena. Adam McQuaid, who is out with a leg injury, was the only player missing from practice.
Kelly has been out since Dec. 7 with a broken fibula, while Hamilton has missed the last four games with a concussion. Kelly was wearing a grey (third line) jersey along with Carl Soderberg, Loui Eriksson and Ryan Spooner. With Kelly out of the lineup, Spooner has centered the third line.
"I was excited to come today," Kelly said after the practice. "It's been a little bit longer than I would have liked, but it's all part of the process of getting better, and today was a good step in the right direction."
Kelly said he isn't sure when he will return to the lineup, but Claude Julien said that he will travel to Philadelphia for Saturday's game and could be in the lineup within a week. The veteran center added that he "pushed it pretty good" in Thursday's practice and felt good.
"I think I've done everything I need to do," Kelly said. "Conditioning, I felt great. Obviously you can never simulate the physical aspect of the game, but I felt good out there today."
Julien said it is unclear whether Hamilton will travel, as he hasn't been cleared to take heavy contact yet.
Also on the ice for the B's was Zach Trotman, who was recalled Thursday morning on an emergency basis. Trotman had been returned to Providence Tuesday after playing Monday's game against the Kings. Though the Bruins were off Tuesday and Wednesday, Trotman was able to get a practice in with Providence on Wednesday.

The development of the Visual-Perceptual Chemistry Specific (VPCS) assessment tool is based on items that align to eight visual-perceptual skills considered as needed by chemistry students. This tool includes a comprehensive range of visual operations and presents items within a chemistry context without requiring content knowledge to solve correctly. The VPCS was administrated to a total of 2,713 chemistry students taking general, organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry courses at a large, southeastern university over a period of three academic years. The preliminary validation process involved primarily factor analysis and Item Response Theory. A three-factor solution was considered appropriate with the most reasonable interpretation labeling Factor 1 as a general visual-spatial skill, Factor 2 involving multiple viewpoints (frames of reference), and Factor 3 related to memory ability. Our analysis supports an interpretation relevant to chemistry instruction that departs from previous findings where the factors obtained were viewed in terms of static or kinetic qualities (mechanical) and/or two-dimensional versus three-dimensional aspects. Several interpretations for the three-factor solution are discussed as well as implications for teaching and future research. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Res Sci Teach 51: 963–981, 2014

All MIX11 sessions are availalbe to watch, stream or download at the Channel 9 events section. You can smooth stream sessions, download video in WMV or MP4, get audio-only versions, and download extra files like powerpoint decks. There are a couple other ways to consume the media ranging from point and click down to getting your hands into code and scripts:

RSS. Add one of the following feeds to your Zune, iTunes or other favorite podcast software:

WMV High - http://channel9.msdn.com/events/mix/mix11/rss/wmvhigh

WMV Low - http://channel9.msdn.com/events/mix/mix11/rss/wmv

MP4 High - http://channel9.msdn.com/events/mix/mix11/rss/mp4high

MP4 Low - http://channel9.msdn.com/events/mix/mix11/rss/mp4

MP3 Audio - http://channel9.msdn.com/events/mix/mix11/rss/mp3

VLC: There's a great writeup by Jon Galloway on how to stream all the sessions (via the above feeds) using VLC.

Browser Download: See Peter Kellner's download page on how to download videos with a FireFox plug-in, already renamed to the session title.

PowerShell: Jon Galloway has a script available at his blog.

Write some code against the MIX11 OData feed

I'm sure there are plenty of ones I've missed, please feel free to post additional options in the comments. We're also always looking for ways to streamline the online conference experience so please give us feedback! This year we've moved media from every MIX to a single video vault on Channel 9. Past PDC videos are also available and they're all linked to speakers that have held sessions across multiple conferences and years.

Some details and rough device guidelines

WMV High: 1920 x 1088

MP4 High: 1024 x 576 (iPad, netbooks)

WMV Low: 960 x 540 (Windows Phone 7, iPhone 4*)

MP4 Low: 480 x 272 (ZuneHD, iPhone <4)

*iPhone doesn't support WMV, so you're probably best off grabbing the MP4 High version

mdefalcohttp://blogs.msdn.com/mdefalco/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxMIX11 Website Launchhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/mark/archive/2011/01/25/mix11-website-launch.aspx2011-01-25T21:04:00Z2011-01-25T21:04:00Z
The MIX11 Website has been launched! is the place to go for all MIX 2011 updates and announcements. Currently you can read up on the tentative agenda, register for the event, and vote for Open Call submissions from the community.

The website is the first of the conferences on a new platform and is the last of the conference web sites to be migrated over to Azure. Orchard is an open source ASP.Net MVC CMS that just hit their v1 milestone.

Unfortunately we did have a few hiccups out of the gate, but we're working on getting the all resolved asap.

There shouldn't be any more problems with Unicode characters. It was an inconvenience for some, but for others their names were not displayed correctly and that's just amateur hour. I'm sorry and hope that it's resolved for everyone at this point. There are several parts of the pipeline between the initial submission and them ending up on the website and one of them was saving data as ASCII instead of UTF8. That piece of code has been sent back to the 1990s.

MIX10 videos. All MIX videos (from every year) are still available from the Archive. Direct links to streaming sessions are broken right now but will be available as soon as they are ported into the archives. We'll get at least a redirect to the archive page up as a temp fix.

There wasn't enough time to get every feature we wanted into the site, but it's the first on it's platform and it will grow from event to event. Here are some hidden features that you can use for OpenCall voting in the meantime:

Search: http://live.visitmix.com/OpenCall/vote/search/<keyword> - http://live.visitmix.com/OpenCall/vote/search/WP7 for example. You can search by title, name or abstract so authors can link to all their sessions by searching for their name.

Paging: We have a LOT of sessions up there (over 200). Break them up into pages of 25 by using http://live.visitmix.com/OpenCall/vote/page/<1-9> - http://live.visitmix.com/OpenCall/vote/page/1

We're listening and responding to feedback via:

firstname.lastname@example.com

Session downloads that had audio sync issue are being published back to the web. We've also put together a simple html list for individual file downloads. You can find it at the PDC blog: http://www.microsoftpdc.com/WhatsHappening/Downloadable-Sessions-Available-Now

We'll keep updating the list as the rest of the videos come online. The PDC Downloader automatically picks up these changes so you can continue using it directly as well.

Both of the High formats are 720p. WMV Low is 640x360. MP4 Low is 480x272 - perfect for your Zune HD :)

[Update 10 Nov 2010] Session downloads are mostly back up. More details and a html download list on my latest blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mark/archive/2010/11/10/pdc10-download-list.aspx

[Update 5 Nov 2010] I've updated the app to include error logging (error.log in your My Videos\PDC10 folder) and auto updating. You'll need to remove the app (Right click > Remove...) and reinstall to get this update. Also note that we are aware of some audio sync issues and are currently reencoding any videos that we find. These videos will not be available while they are fixed and will be back up shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we'd rather get the best version of these videos out.

[Update] Peter Kellner has posted a batch file that will rename the downloaded videos to use the session titles. Grab it here: http://peterkellner.net/2010/11/04/pdc10-videos-renaming-script/

My journeys have recently brought me to my new position here in the Developer and Platform Evangelism team at Microsoft. Specifically, I'll be behind the scenes for events like PDC, MIX and Tech·Ed. I've only been on the team for a month but I already go to attend an historic PDC and Tech·Ed Europe is just days away! My role is going to be focused on the digital tools and assets that are used to put on our events, so I'll be able to talk about the web sites some internal tools and other cool tech. And yes, I'll definitely be taking feedback from attendees - both physical and virtual.

Normally after an event we'd put together a script to help download all the associated content. However, this year there was a little time to put together a handy tool. The PDC10 Downloader app is a Silverlight 4 Out of Browser application that helps you queue up lots of downloads. You can select entire categories of content along with the type of media to download and even tweak the selection by individual file. It's not a robust download management tool, but it'll get the job done. Click the button below to install.

It will create a PDC10 folder in your My Videos library and save all files there. If a file already exists it will skip the download, so if you have problems and would like to redownload a file just delete it and try again.

mdefalcohttp://blogs.msdn.com/mdefalco/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxNew Features in Visual Studio 2010http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mark/archive/2010/02/19/tweaks-and-new-features-in-visual-studio-2010.aspx2010-02-19T19:14:00Z2010-02-19T19:14:00Z
More and more of my work over the past few months has been developed with Visual Studio 2010 on SL4 and I'm loving a lot of the new features. And today the product launch has started! Look here for more information: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010/default.mspx and read ahead to let me highlight some of the features I'm already loving.

Better Intellisense wordwheeling. Instead of only matching the beginning of members on the object you are calling, VS2010 will use full string matching. Typing customer.Order will bring up any methods or properties you have that have 'Order' in them, including GetOrder, UpdateOrder, etc. More information about Search-As You Type and other navigation features here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4sadchd3(VS.100).aspx

Symbol highlighting. When you click a symbol, for example a local variable in a method, all references to that symbol are highlited in the document. Very useful for quickly seeing the scope of a change you are about to make: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee349251(VS.100).aspx

Call Hierarchy. In any large solution you are going to be managing code that was written by other people. Sometimes you need a quick view of the code flow and what is calling a certain method. Previously you'd use Find References to see any reference made to that symbol. Instead, right click a method, property or constructor call and click View Call Hierarchy. You'll get a tree of all calls made from and to the selected symbol and a quick list of all call sites that you can immedately navigate to. More information here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd409859(VS.100).aspx

Two tweaks I make to my Visual Studio 2010 install are:

In previous versions, when you had multiple files open and you clicked from tab to tab, the file you were currently are viewing would be selected in solution view. I find this extremely useful when dealing with large solutions where you need quick access to various projects. This feature still exists in VS2010, but is turned off by default now. To turn it back on: Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > check "Track Active Item in Solution Explorer"

I like line numbering on by default; this hasn't changed and is still available from: Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages (or whichever you prefer) > Line Numbers (under Display)

mdefalcohttp://blogs.msdn.com/mdefalco/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxAnonymous Types and Silverlight DataBindinghttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/mark/archive/2008/11/18/anonymous-types-and-silverlight-databinding.aspx2008-11-18T19:58:00Z2008-11-18T19:58:00Z
My journey through working in the web world has taken me many places in the past: Cold Fusion, PHP, Classic ASP all the way to the latest version of Silverlight. I'll post some of the small things I come across as I'm learning this new technology in part to document my learning process but hopefully more to help out anyone else who runs into the same issues. My first victim, this exception:

An unhandled exception 'Unhandled Error in Silverlight 2 Application Code: 4004 Category ManagedRuntimeError Message: System.MethodAccessException: <>f__AnonymousType0`.get_Summary()

I ran into this while writing a quick prototype trying learning all the pieces of silverlight. My first app was an xml feed reader with code similar to this:

[get xml feed content into and XDocument called feed]

CustomFeedItemControl.FeedItem = from item in feed.Element("item") select new { Title = item.Element("title").Value, Summary = item.Element("description").Value };

The first thing that comes up on searches is information on the Silverlight security model. Any calls made from security transparent code to critical code will throw a MethodAcessException. The second clue here is the "get_Summary()" part of the exception. Remember that in C# properties are really just syntactic sugar for accessor/modifier methods for a field and internally the get_ and set_ methods are created for interoperability with other .Net languages. So basically, there's a security exception trying to access the property on the anonymous typed class. But why?

Well this occurs because anonymous objects are typed as internal. Silverlight will not reflect on private members as part of its security model and throws this exception. One solution for my example is to create some kind of public type "FeedItem" with properties Title, Summary, etc. In my next post I'll talk about a better solution for dealing with feeds altogether.

Harden's survey result
Not enough people have commented yet
For 25 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. This year diners have submitted over 60,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK.
Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.
Do you think it deserves to be better known?
Write a quick review now using our restaurant diary service. That way it might catch our attention. Next survey, you can transfer your diary entry into our survey system. Everyone who contributes 5 or more reviews in our survey will qualify for a free guide.
Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Delightful restaurant overlooking Bushey Park ( many deer spotted munching ). Traditional Italian food, excellent after a walk around Hampton Court palace"
"Fresh mojitos are probably the main reason to go. The food nothing to write home about. Ambience is colourful but a little bit too loud."
"This restaurant has now CLOSED and been replaced by The Warren"
"In this prestigious area of St. James's, the set menus are excellent value and compiled with imagination.The service is impeccable - but the vast single room can seem a bit deserted outside peak hours"
"An excellent deal of four courses and a glass of prosecco for £28. Unusually cheese was available as a dessert choice without a premium."
"A great Mexican, a few minutes walk from the craziness of Liverpool Street and Spitalfields. The food is a good standard, very tasty but not quite as good as Wahaca. Service was great, our waiter was really helpful. A good place for a relaxed catch up with friends"
"Exceptional fish that is apparently sourced directly from West Country fishermen Very fresh and as a result not everything on the menu is always available......fine with me as it shows a commitment to only serve the freshest fish Pea purée is fantastic and the monkfish is exceptional Have been several times and found it consistently good"
"Food is Maintaining its breath-taking creativity with outstanding service all in this most lovely of restaurant interiors. No doubt number 1 in Birmingham and the West Midlands."
"Simplicity is the name of the game. Chops - crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle - pork, beef and lamb all delicious. Service adequate and atoms loud and frenetic. Wine a sideshow (shame). My inner caveman loved this place."
"Interesting menu using locally sourced products. Friendly owner & staff. Always very busy. Samphire is not just outside the town centre as previously reported, it is very much in the town centre being only 2 doors away from Wheelers"
Harden's says...
Harden's review of the reviews
The Observer's critic-in-chief heads to Manchester to try out the new Hawksmoor and stumbles across a veggie dining room, 1847, serving great food – well, apart from the desserts. Read our roundup of restaurant news in Manchester and enter our Hawksmoor Manchester competition.
Meanwhile the Guardian's Marina O'Laughlin pays a visit to the much gushed about Kitty Fisher's
Everyone else love, love, loves it but Marina can't help but feel she's ended up at a house party she wasn't quite invited to, particularly as the restaurant staff seem allergic to answering the phone. We can attest to that having called them on at least 10 occasions without success.
The award for most ferocious review this week has to go to The Sunday Times's A A Gill
The critic has a thing or two to say about Mayfair's 'ridiculously overpriced' Mexican, Peyote, including: "...fiddly, neurotic preparation with pale, polite taste and silly, parsimonious sharing plates that aren't bounteous or fun and are more like eating the catering pitch for a drug cartel's wedding.â€
Over at The Times, Giles Coren gives his opinion on Russian-imported pizza chain Bocconcino
"Bocconcino isn't a bad restaurant. It just isn't a necessary restaurant.†At £202 for pizza and pasta it's not hard to see why Mr Coren might feel that way – mind you, a £46 bottle of wine probably helped nudge the bill up.
And last but not least, Ms Maschler reviews Brindisa's new Morada Asador
The Standard's long-standing critic heads to the latest outpost of this tapas chain (in Soho) and finds the meats are the reason to flock here – from the 'delectable' milk-fed lamb to the Secreto Iberico.

honeslty most of iherb brands call themself organic or natural, but few are USDA organic like acure if you want real results get this kind of brand they do not have fake vitamine E like 90% of other companies they do not have silicone derivates to trick you have a smooth skin their vitamin A is not syntetic (they use rose hips) syntetic vitamin A is linked with skin cancer if you use such creams and you are exposed to the sun , their ingredients are more ''pure'' and bioavailable( your skin eat these ingredients better) it comes in a bottle and thats alot better than a cream jar , you do not contaminate the cream with your fingers.
Love the smell. Absorbs fast. Moisture all day. No break outs. Only minus is to get the cream pumped up when bottle reach almost empthy. Must dig it up with q-tip to not waste what is left in bottle. Will buy again. Correction note January 2013. Just received a new cream and Accure have changed the bottle to a tube. Great!!
Did not work for me...

I have acne-prone and combination skin, this caused me to break out... But each person is different, so it may work for you. Great company. Use their other products...

I have used many different day creams and this is by far the best one. I have sensitive skin and oily at times. This cream feels amazing and works great, leaving my face feeling fresh and clean.
Good value for money

This cream has a good quality to price ratio , as well as being organic and animal friendly, so overall I am pleased with it. It gives relatively good moisture, and has a slight peeling effect that keeps the skin quite fresh. I do have to be a bit cautious with the amount, though, because it has some citrus in it, that my sensitive skin tends to react to. But other than that, I would recommend it.
