The blog has been made read-only, but will not be deleted for now. All of the content has been replicated to the new blog, so you can continue the discussion on the older posts there.
I would like to thank weblogs.asp.net for being my home these past few years.
(I've returned from my trip a few months ago, but didn't have enough to blog about; hopefully, this is my returning to a semi-regular posting schedule; also, I've decided to veer off .NET in some of my posts, focusing on more issues that I like to talk about and offer my opinions on)
(Update: This article is now featured in Hebrew in Gal Mor's blog "Holes in the Net")
Social networks have been flourishing in the past few years, and have let us reach more people than we could before them. I, personally, use both Facebook and Twitter on a daily basis. The trend of 'socialized' applications is steadily marching on. A simple example of that is e-commerce sites looking to increase their conversion rate with you using recommendations from your friends.
However, there is yet another trend coming up that we should worry about, which is users trying to force anti-social behavior. Here are a couple of examples:
These examples just go to show the trend of users wanting to add anti-social behavior to a social platform.
Social networks, on their part, should never allow themselves to be catalysts for anti-social behavior. Anti-social activities, such as hiding users or reporting them or their actions should remain hidden from all other users and must remain in confidence between the user and the platform. The real world parallel to this would be 'telling on' someone, which is frowned upon. Facebook tries to avoid that by making all positive social activities more open, while keeping the anti-social activities on a one-on-one basis between the user and the platform. Unfavorable comments are still prevalent, but are unavoidable. Twitter is, on the other hand, lagging far behind by keeping their network very much bare of personal filters (no way to hide unwanted tweets) and allowing users to easily find out who un-followed them, to name just a few issues.
The rule-of-thumb I present here does not stop with social networks, but continues to other socially-influenced platforms. Socially-enabled games follow this rule too: FarmVille, which at the time of writing of this post is the most popular and fastest growing game of all time on Facebook, does the same. Players have a multitude of socially-positive activities to choose from, such as sending each other gifts, taking in animals their friends put up for adoption, helping out on friends' farms and even racing each other to the top of their local hall of fame in the long run. On the other hand, there are no socially-negative activities in the game: players can not steal crops or animals from friends, mess up their farms, etc.
Social platforms should make it easy to broadcast socially-positive activities and hard to broadcast the negative ones. Once they follow this simple frame of mind, they will reap the psychological and sociological benefits.
In 15 days' time, I'll be taking off on a four months long trip around the world. I'll be hiking and travelling my way through Japan (March-May), the United States of America (May-July) and the Netherlands (July). I've been planning this trip for a long time now, since I came back from Japan for the first time in August 2007 (the photo on the right was taken near the Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu Shrine in Kamakura), and have taken a long leave from work to accomplish it. What this means is that from March 10th you can expect a long pause in my semi-regular updates.
I am not dead :)
If you're a reader who lives along my path and want to meet up for a beer and a lively chat, ping me via the contact form. I'll be reading my emails every once in a while, so don't worry if you only get an answer after a few days.
If you want to read about my trip, I'll be posting regular updates to my new travel blog.
A couple of days ago I hit a regression bug in .NET 3.5 SP1, in which when you have a generic class that implements ISerializable and has static variables – you can not serialize it using a BinaryFormatter without your application either hanging (x86) or raising an exception (x64 – a TargetInvocationException containing an OutOfMemoryException). This only happens if you use a reference type as a generic argument.
It's already well known, but I have yet to find a workaround documented anywhere. You could simply install the hotfix, but well, I wouldn't if I were you – it hasn't been thoroughly tested yet. Moreover, you might not even be able to do so due to either internal politics, strict IT rules or the fact that you simply do not have control over the hosting server.
Let's take the simplest class that causes the issue:
public class MyClass<T> : ISerializable
private static int list = 0;
public MyClass()
protected MyClass(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
void ISerializable.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
When using the class as such:
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
formatter.Serialize(stream, new MyClass<string>());
stream.Position = 0;
MyClass<string> item = (MyClass<string>)formatter.Deserialize(stream);
The last line will hit the bug.
To work around this issue, simply move your static variables into a new subclass:
public class MyClass<T> : ISerializable
private static class KB957543
public static int list = 0;
public MyClass()
protected MyClass(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
void ISerializable.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
You can still access all of your static variables and you don't hit the bug.
Note that when you use anonymous methods or lambdas, they are cached as static variables of the type, meaning that you will have to manually type all of your lambdas.
Here's an example of such a type that is prone to the bug:
public class MyClass<T> : ISerializable
public MyClass()
public static string Concat(IEnumerable<int> numbers)
return string.Join(", ", numbers.Select(i => i.ToString()).ToArray());
protected MyClass(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
void ISerializable.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
If we look through Reflector, we can see that there is a cached delegate in our type:
Since this is a static member, it makes the type susceptible to the bug and we now need to manually create the cached member ourselves:
public class MyClass<T> : ISerializable
private static class KB957543
public static readonly Func<int, string> ToString = i => i.ToString();
public MyClass()
public static string Concat(IEnumerable<int> numbers)
return string.Join(", ", numbers.Select(KB957543.ToString).ToArray());
protected MyClass(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
void ISerializable.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
When index fragmentation becomes too high, indexes will be very inefficient. Other than planning a good index design, you should rebuild / reorganize your indexes every once in a while.
SELECT 'ALTER INDEX [' + ix.name + '] ON [' + s.name + '].[' + t.name + '] ' +
CASE WHEN ps.avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 40 THEN 'REBUILD' ELSE 'REORGANIZE' END +
CASE WHEN pc.partition_count > 1 THEN ' PARTITION = ' + cast(ps.partition_number as nvarchar(max)) ELSE '' END
FROM sys.indexes AS ix INNER JOIN sys.tables t
ON t.object_id = ix.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.schemas s
ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id
INNER JOIN (SELECT object_id, index_id, avg_fragmentation_in_percent, partition_number
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (DB_ID(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL)) ps
ON t.object_id = ps.object_id AND ix.index_id = ps.index_id
INNER JOIN (SELECT object_id, index_id, COUNT(DISTINCT partition_number) AS partition_count
FROM sys.partitions
GROUP BY object_id, index_id) pc
ON t.object_id = pc.object_id AND ix.index_id = pc.index_id
WHERE ps.avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 10 AND
ix.name IS NOT NULL
The above query will give you a list of recommended index rebuild / reorganize statements for your database, according Pinal Dave's 10-40 rule, although you are welcome to tweak it to your liking. It supports non-partitioned as well as partitioned indexes. If you want a more intense check for fragmentation, change the last NULL in the dm_db_index_physical_stats call to 'SAMPLED' or even 'DETAILED' (include quotes).
It's a handy little tool for database administrators and saves a lot of the hassle of monitoring index fragmentation.
Update: Added multi-schema support as suggested by MJ12 and another check for null index names.
I just filed a new bug with Microsoft Connect. I certainly hope this one doesn't get shrugged off like many of my other bugs did.
Want to reproduce it yourselves? Just create a table with a character that can only be valid inside the context of brackets (like a comma or braces) and then try to select from it. Don't keep the CREATE clauses in the same query window or it might just work. See the screenshot below.
This is very frustrating because this means that not only is there no IntelliSense for these objects, but IntelliSense now gets in the way of actual querying as it will autocomplete incorrect names.
(I've noticed quite a few people were having this problem, so I decided to blog about it. This might have to do with all non-English fonts, but I experienced it only with Hebrew)
The only reason I use Adobe AIR is for the Twitter application Twhirl. However, I noticed the Hebrew text was incorrectly displayed (word order was reversed).
I did not find a solution for this online and the guys at Twhirl didn't know what to make of this.
After toying with a few of the options, I finally found the answer – the fonts used by Twhirl were in Hebrew, but AIR wasn't playing nicely with them. I switched from Calibri to Tahoma and found that the text was just fine.
Both @effifuks and @JonathanRauch (with TweetDeck, where he didn't see Hebrew text at all – see the left screenshot) experienced the same issue.
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<MakeDir Directories="compressed\%(Content.RelativeDir)" Condition="(%(Content.Extension) == '.js') And (!(Exists('compressed\%(Content.RelativeDir)')))" />
<Exec Command="java -jar yuicompressor-x.y.z.jar --type js -o compressed\%(Content.Identity) %(Content.Identity)" Condition="%(Content.Extension) == '.js'" />
<CreateItem Include="compressed\%(Content.Identity)" Condition="%(Content.Extension) == '.js'" />
The above takes all of the JavaScript files in your project, compresses them (in the same relative directories) into the compressed directory and then adds them to the project, in case it gets deployed anywhere.
Note that I'm using the Extension, Identity and RelativeDir well-known item metadata attributes in order to impose batching, since batches causes loops instead of the string concatenation that happens when you reference the items themselves.
The client decided to encode their XML using the Windows-1255 encoding (Hebrew), noting the encoding correctly in the XML's declaration, but served the file stating the ISO-8859-1 (Latin) encoding. This meant that I couldn't just use XDocument's normal Load method to load directly from the stream because XDocument looks at the HTTP headers and takes the document's encoding from them.
Here's a snippet of the code I used to get over that:
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
// Use response's charset.
var encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(response.CharacterSet))
encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(response.CharacterSet);
byte[] bytes = ReadStream(response.GetResponseStream());
// Get the XML with the response's charset.
string xml = new string(encoding.GetChars(bytes));
int endOfDeclaration = xml.IndexOf("?>");
if (endOfDeclaration != -1)
// Try to find out the encoding from the declaration.
string decl = xml.Substring(0, endOfDeclaration + 2) + "<duperoot />";
XDocument declDoc = XDocument.Parse(decl);
var docEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(declDoc.Declaration.Encoding);
if (docEncoding == encoding)
return xml;
return new string(docEncoding.GetChars(bytes));
// Not XML or something... Send up.
What I did here was to create a new document with the original XML's declaration (the Latin characters which make up the XML's declaration always have the same byte position), add a dupe root and parse that to get the name of the encoding used by the document. I then use that encoding to decode the document correctly.
Note that I'm using ISO-8859-1 as the default response's encoding, since that is what HTTP's specification demands.
One of our products demands converting quite a large amount of HTML to equivalent scripts, written in JavaScript that create said HTML. Looking around the Internet, I found no tool that will automate this process for me, so I went ahead and created this simple little application.
I've written it using HTML Agility Pack and Simple CSS Parser. It's hardly perfect and might incorrectly reference attributes, but I've tweaked it long enough for it to work, I'm guessing, 95% of the time.
The source is not yet included (I want to set it up as a project on CodePlex later on), but for now you can download it from here.

They have various bike and utility hooks on sale for $10 to $14 with free in-store pickup.
Welcome to Ben's Bargains. Please Register, Sign in or Sign in with Facebook
2 Things: They are out of stock on many items right now, so be prepared to wait for delivery of a complete setup; go early as you can on Sunday because the stores are going to be CRAZY, particularly if you want to use one of their designers (recommended for all but the simplest projects).
One more thing: if you use their installation service, the second "project" is much less than the first one, the third one even less, as some of the project costs cancel out when you have multiple projects scheduled at the same time.
Have two local stores near, hopefully they have them in stock.
When I clicked add to cart, it did not say that it was out of stock

Hi this is Designer/Radio show host Pat Sloan! We off to a really fun start this year! The designers blocks have made you happy.. I know because a ton of you have shared your blocks with us! There is a theme for the year, I asked each designer to create a block inspired by a woman who has given them inspiration.
Our March Designer is Emily Herrick of Crazy Old Ladies Quilts... yes.. that is the name of her company. And what's even more confusing is she is NOT old.. but maybe she is a tiny bit 'crazy'.. in a good way… wink! Emily lives in Springville, Utah.. which you'll see some of those amazing mountains in her photos! I really enjoy Emily's love of life, her blog posts, her fabric lines and her quilts are happy and fun.. my kind of quiltmaker!
I have had the pleasure of having Emily on my radio show April 30 2012 and. You can CLICK HERE and scroll back on the player to listen
We have a sew along with a MONTHLY thread BOX giveaway (seriously folks… you could win a box of my thread which is over $120.00 value.. for making a quilt block… you have to join in!).
And we have an added feature this year of a machine quilting tip from Natalia Bonner. Look for that at the end of each interview!
EACH MONTH we will pick one random winner that has made a block from our 2014 designers and that random person receives a FULL BOX of my Aurifil thread as the prize! Winners are all contacted via Flickr email and posted at our FLICK GROUP HERE
Let's get to it!

"This came in two days! It is simple and to the point. Maybe would have liked to personalize the message a bit more but definitely love the simplicity of it! I used the red ink for better visability of the writing. Easy to put in the envelope and address and send it out for the Holidays by Nov. 30th."
"I could not be happier! Our invitations arrived very quickly. Everything was done extremely well, from the packaging and invoicing to the quality of the invitations. I have never had such quick, professional service and will definitely be using Tinyprints again! Thank you for making this part of the party stress free!"
"This card is fun and sophisticated. I chose it for a Company Christmas Party and it has just the right amount of playfulness and sophistication. The print design on the back of the card really sets the whole thing and is the finishing touch. I recommend printing on the pearl paper."
"The design is just what I needed and the wording was perfect. The heavy cardstock and rounded edges I chose this time is fantastic and makes the card feel like a coaster it is so nice and thick The red envelopes are a lovely quality as well and as usual the delivery was spot -on super speedy and efficient. Very happy with this card and with the oh so efficient tiny prints service as always."
"Turned out great. It's a very sturdy invitation and nice to go back to real invitations vs evites. It looks just like it does on screen. Next time I would probably add one of the papers with a glossy or shimmery shine to add that pop."

Rolling Thunder
John Varley - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
Lieutenant Patricia Kelly Elizabeth Stricklandotherwise known as Podkaynehas joined the Music, Arts, and Drama Division of the Martian Navy, passing the audition with a little help from some higher-ups. And now shes going to Europa, one of Jupiters many moons, to be an entertainer. But shes about to learn that there can be plenty of danger to go around in the Martian Navy, even if youve just signed on to sing.
John Varley, Hugo and Nebula-winning author of Rolling Thunder, discusses science fiction's long-time fascination with Mars.
What is it about the red planet? It's a pretty insignificant rock, as these things go, but I am only one of a long list of science fiction writers to be fascinated by it. H.G. Wells, when he needed a source of alien invaders, "intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic," chose Mars. Why not Venus? It's closer, and nearer in size to the Earth. But it's shrouded in clouds, you can't see any detail at all. But Mars, in 1878, revealed itself to the Italian astronomer Schiaparelli as being criss-crossed by canali, or "channels." That could have meant river channels, but it was misinterpreted into English as "canals," which implied they'd been built. And science fiction writers were off and running...
The very first science fiction book I ever read was Red Planet, by Robert A. Heinlein. I was in the seventh grade. And there were the marvelous canals, straight as arrows, frozen over most of the year, with guys pretty much just like me skating on them!
Then came the age of planetary exploration, the beginnings of which both Mr. Heinlein and I were privileged to see, and a lot of science fictional applecarts were upset. Mercury didn't keep one face perpetually turned to the sun. Venus wasn't a swamp planet, it was boiling hot. Jupiter had rings, and so did Uranus. Saturn had not just three rings, but hundreds of them. It's hard to remember just how very little we knew about the Solar System as late as the 1960s.
As for Mars... sorry, those canals were only optical illusions. There would be no skating on them. So another whole set of stories, from Edgar Rice Burroughs to Arthur C. Clarke to Ray Bradbury, became dated.
But not obsolete, never that. A good story is a good story, even if the scientific basis for it has been disproven. The Martian Chronicles is as good a novel today as it was in 1950, and the John Carter stories are just as exciting as they were in 1911.
And now a new generation of writers are tackling Mars with the facts as we know them today. Ben Bova has written of the red planet. Kim Stanley Robinson has set a grand trilogy of terraforming there. Joe Haldeman is publishing one. And I have just completed Rolling Thunder, the third of four novels detailing the saga of one family and their experiences on Mars and the other planets. These stories pay back my debt not only to Heinlein's Red Planet, but to all the great juvenile novels he published in the 1950s that started my generation of writers down this path.
In fifty years they will all certainly be dated: Bova's, Robinson's, Haldeman's, and mine. But here's hoping they will never be obsolete, as long as people like a good story.

- Health Notes
Nitric OxideNitric Oxide
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyAthletic Performance 4 gram three times per day [2 stars]It has been speculated that AAKG may increase production of nitric oxide, a substance known to enhance blood flow. In one study, AAKG improved measures of strength and short-term power performance in weight lifters.
Nitric oxide is the popular name for AAKG (arginine alpha-ketoglutarate), a compound made from the amino acid L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, a substance formed in the body's energy-generating process. AAKG is a popular supplement among bodybuilders and other athletes because of claims that it increases production of nitric oxide in muscles. Nitric oxide is known to have blood-flow-enhancing effects,1 which could in theory increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to exercising muscle. While L-arginine by itself is known to increase nitric oxide production, no research has been done to show that AAKG does the same. However, double-blind trials of AAKG suggest it improves some measures of strength and power resulting from weight training.2, 3

This is a quality product from Gaspari Nutrition. I took it 30 minutes before my workout and felt the effects in only about 20, so right when i entered the gym i was ready to go. The taste of it was very good and it wasnt grainy at all so thats always a plus. The only thing i did not like was that it is not a super concentrated product and since i used 2 scoops i was drinking a lot of liquid before but thats not necessarily a deal breaker. Overall an excellent product. will definitely buy it again.

You know how some people can follow recommended precautions and still end up with the dreaded C-word, while others spend their lives behaving badly--oiled up in a tanning bed, for example--and manage to escape scot-free? The answer isn't just about luck, of course; rather, it's a combination of genetics, ethnicity and other environmental factors--and now scientists say they've developed a way to better predict an individual's risk for developing the most common type of cancer.

Yes, protecting yourself from ultraviolet rays is still important for everyone; it's estimated that 80 percent of melanoma cases are caused by UV damage. But as much as we know that's true, so many of us still skimp, or totally skip out, on our SPF routine. One reason may be because we look toward those people who set a bad example but don't pay the price--we see celebrities often soaking up rays in the news, for example.

I admit it, I have total hair envy of the Victoria's Secret Angels because they have such full, shiny locks--and their strands seem to only gleam brighter and bounce more while strutting their stuff. (Looking incredible in just lingerie, too.) And while I've spent my fair share of cash on hair products trying to get that star-like hair (Yes, I own travel-sized dry shampoo!), as a dietician, I believe that healthy, shiny hair starts from the inside out. The supermarket may just become your new beauty shop, because these five foods have the nutrients your mane needs.Read More »from Want Healthy Hair? Eat This

Eggnog Light: The heavy cream and eggs in traditional eggnog results in a beverage that's high in saturated fat and calories, but combining a cup of vanilla almond milk with 2 tbsp of sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix, then chilling, yields that cravable rich and creamy flavor and cuts the calories by more than half.

ALMOND FLOUR: Made from grinding blanched nuts, this flour works best in recipes for moist or light, fluffy cake-like results. And just one serving of almond flour has a whopping six grams of protein and a hefty dose of healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber and vitamin E. Try these oatmeal banana cookies.
OAT FLOUR: Since it's super similar to its wheat cousin, oat flour is made by grinding certified gluten free oats in a blender or food processor. Try replacing a portion of the wheat flour with rich, nutty oat flour in your favorite cookie recipe for a soluble fiber boost.

How to Navigate Thanksgiving DinnerBy Healthy SELF, SELF Magazine | Healthy Living – Wed, Nov 21, 2012 11:55 AM EST
Gourmet, Romulo YanesSarah-Jane Bedwell, SELF magazineRead More »from How to Navigate Thanksgiving Dinner
Just by being more mindful of how you eat this year at Thanksgiving, you can still enjoy ALL your favorite dishes without wishing you didn't when you are done. Try these tips and tricks for navigating the Thanksgiving spread to enjoy the stuffing (and dessert!) without that overstuffed feeling.
START WITH BREAKFAST: It may be tempting to skip breakfast on Turkey Day, but this will only make it more likely that you will overeat. Instead of skipping breakfast, try a light yet filling meal like lowfat yogurt, fruit and a piece of whole-wheat toast. This will help jump-start your metabolism and prevent you being overly hungry and thus overeating when it's time to enjoy the feast.

Birth Control: Over the Counter?By Healthy SELF, SELF Magazine | Healthy Living – Wed, Nov 21, 2012 10:57 AM EST
Amanda MacMillan, SELF magazine
Big news, ladies: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG; a companion organization to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) announced yesterday its official recommendation that oral contraceptives should be sold over the counter, without a prescription. Plenty of paperwork still stands in the way of this monumental moment in women's health, but it appears as though the United States is one step closer to granted broader access to contraceptive for all women.
In a video on the ACOG website, Gerald F. Joseph, M.D., says The College's recommendation was based on the unintended pregnancy rate in the United States, which has hovered around 50 percent for the last 20 years. By providing greater access to contraception without a prescription--as is already done in many other countries around the world--ACOG hopes to finally make a dent in this number.

Remember Crystal Pepsi? That crap was weird, right? Well, Japanese consumers saw something even kookier hit shelves last week: the fiber-infused, "fat-blocking" Pepsi Special. The ads read something like this: "Why choose between a hamburger and a slice of pizza? If you choose Pepsi Special, you can have both!" We turned stateside, to a trusted nutrition expert, to get the scoop on this strange-but-true addition to the food and beverage world, and more importantly, to see if it lives up to its hype.Read More »from "Fat-Blocking" Soda?

Soda is just the latest--and undoubtedly one of the unhealthiest--places synthetic fiber, also known as "functional fiber" is being added to boost overall fiber content; you can also find it in breads, bars, yogurts and other packaged foods. The type of fiber in Pepsi Special is dextrin, made from potato starch--and in one 2006 Japanese study, rats who consumed dextrin absorbed less fat than rats who didn't,

At Liberty University School of Law we believe that a quality legal education can only be achieved when traditional, substantive courses of law are integrated with a complete lawyering skills curriculum and a solid grounding in the foundations of law within a Christian worldview. We want to prepare our graduates to be able to perform the tasks required of lawyers every day.
For many years, legal education in this country has been criticized for being impractical. Devotion to law theory is often at the expense of practical legal skills. At Liberty we build in-depth training in legal skills into the entire law school experience. In fact, our required six semesters of lawyering skills courses has set a new standard among law schools.
In just a few years, our innovative and practice-oriented program has had a transformational impact on the way law is taught across the nation. Our groundbreaking Center for Lawyering Skills has positioned Liberty University School of Law as the recognized leader in legal skills education. Such a bold statement has the backing of many judges, private practitioners and other members of the legal community. We've received rave reviews from both the bench and the bar because lawyers and judges see that our students are better trained than their peers to practice law.
The Liberty Law program of comprehensive, yet practical, lawyering skills consists of two threads woven throughout the three-year law school experience. Law students at Liberty also are required to develop a high level of communications skills, learning how to write clearly and speak persuasively. Analytical and problem-solving skills are honed in the context of litigation and dispute resolution, and by learning how to help clients achieve future goals through planning.
Students must leave law school with the practical knowledge and skills necessary to try a case in court, moving from initial client interview to final verdict and the possible appeal process. Over the course of three years, every Liberty Law student works a simulated lawsuit through from interview through trial. Along the way, legal skills are taught, including how to:
• Interview clients
• Draft pleadings
• Make discovery requests
• Take depositions
• Engage in oral argument
• Write memoranda
• Direct and cross witness examination
• Give jury instructions
• Request appeals
• Other essential litigation tasks
Our goal is that every law graduate have proficiency in these and other legal skills, with the confidence required to be a successful litigation attorney.
Law is not just an instrument for adjudicating disputes. Much of law involves proper and orderly planning of both private and public sectors with the goal of the client in mind, avoiding litigation whenever possible. At Liberty University School of Law, we teach that the importance of law in ordering a client's affairs is of equal or greater value than just knowing how to resolve disputes. Students learn how to draft documents and conduct negotiations related to sales contracts, real estate transactions, business associations, along with government regulation and legislation. Some of the many skills learned within this thread include:
• Counseling clients
• Drafting and analyzing contracts
• Writing real estate agreements
• Searching legal title
• Client advisory letters
• Developing wills and trusts
• Mediation
• Formulating legislation
Both threads of the Liberty lawyering skills curriculum inculcate the skills every attorney should possess, such as problem solving, legal analysis, legal research, factual investigation, communication, counseling, alternative dispute resolution, practice management and professionalism or ethics.
Every Liberty Law professor is involved in the lawyering skills curriculum. Even professors who primarily teach rigorous substantive courses, such as Torts, Contracts, Criminal Law, Evidence and others assist in developing legal skills by weaving practical applications into the classroom. The required substantive law courses and the lawyering skills program are designed to be mutually reinforcing. Many professors also participate in live-client interviews and moot court practice.
Liberty University School of Law offers comprehensive externship opportunities providing students with real-life legal experience in areas such as prosecution, public defense, public interest and policy organizations, trial and appellate courts, government agencies, media and entertainment law, business, finance and many other areas. Students interested in constitutional law may participate with Liberty Counsel, an international nonprofit litigation, education and policy organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of life and the family. Liberty Law students may also take advantage of a wide variety of clinic opportunities, including:
• Liberty Center for Law and Policy
• Liberty Center for International Human Rights
• Constitutional Litigation Clinic
• Prosecution Clinic
In addition to incorporating lawyering skills into every classroom, Liberty University School of Law has excellent facilities dedicated to skills development. These include three mock courtrooms. Our two state-of-the-art Liberty and Justice mock trial courtrooms are designed for learning. Each courtroom is equipped with cameras and monitors to allow students to observe the proceedings from all angles. All courtroom and classroom activities are recorded for review for students at any time. Our large 400-seat appellate courtroom, aptly named the Supreme Courtroom contains the only known replica of the U.S. Supreme Court bench, down to the angle and measurements. All 1L students are required to engage in oral argument as part of a moot court tournament.
The lawyering skills classrooms consist of a large regular classroom surrounded by a series of small rooms, each separated by one-way mirrors. Instructors can be situated in a middle room to view and hear client interviews, unseen by students. Interviews can also be recorded for critique by the instructor at a later time.
Liberty Law students successfully demonstrate their legal skills in competition with students from other law schools around the nation. Within a short time Liberty University School of Law competitive teams have become recognized as top finishers in a variety of regional and national tournaments that require practical real-world legal skills. These include Moot Court, ADR Negotiations, Appellate Advocacy, Oral Argument and Client Counseling. Liberty Law students regularly place among the top five participants in these events, with a number of first and second place regional and national finishes.

Yeah someone was looking for a full name that shortened to Hattie a few days ago, and she settled on Tabitha! I must say it's my favorite of the Tabitha nicknames. I like Tib and Tab better than Tibby or Tabby. Or how about Tay? Tae, if you want to be really artsy. Other options: Bitha, Bithie, Bitzy, Betsy, Betz, Bitz.Current favorites: Olive, Louise/Louisa, Magdalene/Madeline, Phillipa, Talitha, Mallory, Blythe, Eliza, Mercy, Talia; Calvin, Charles, Gideon, Abram, Jude, Reuben, George, Reid, Clark, Holden.

The person who was looking for a full name with nickname Hattie is me! So far I almost decided on Tabitha and, of course, I think Hattie is the best nickname for it. Other ideas: Tata, Bitha, Tab, Bee, Ita, Abby. Tabby reminds me of Beatrix Potter books so I find it lovely, but not very appealing on grown-up, though it's incredibly cute on baby.Victoria

Although I might understand the point of irony that the recent letter to the editor "Feeding the animals makes them dependent" (Dec. 10) was trying to make, the comparison was appalling in a number of ways.
A man shops for groceries using a food stamp benefit card. A letter juxtaposing recipients of food stamps with animals "is childish and wrong," a reader says.
2008 File Photo / Shawn Patrick Ouellette
• First and obviously, saying that those in poverty are like animals fails to put a human face on those who are living day to day without basic essentials of sustenance, namely food in this case.
What about children, single mothers and senior citizens who through no fault of their own use these government programs to survive, especially in difficult economic times? Are they animals feeding at the trough of government spending, or are they just simply surviving hard times?
In our society, many are comfortable with casting blame upon those enduring poverty and moreover, blaming big government, which somehow seems to create and sustain this condition. I would suggest that a truly caring and compassionate society with less greed may be a more suitable answer.
John Barritt's letter fails to state the obvious: that employers are looking for inexpensive labor and that housing, food and other costs involved with raising a family have skyrocketed.
• Second, to say that the government is making people experiencing poverty more dependent is too general for the various life stories that people have for needing the assistance.
With the holidays upon us, could it be said that the many splendid efforts of community groups and the generosity they exhibit are causing some kind of dependency also? Or is it more correct to say that as a society, especially here in Portland, we share with the less fortunate and help those who cannot provide for themselves?
I believe that we all must be very careful in how we speak of those in need -- each of us could be there someday. Now that would be irony.
James Fry
It is very disappointing that in the season of Christmas and giving and sharing, the Portland Press Herald would publish a letter that likens the poor to "animals."
Demeaning our fellow human beings who need assistance has become a way of life for those on the right side of the theater we know as politics. And the willingness to post different points of view here is laudable. But to liken people to animals is childish and wrong.
Here is hoping that the author of this letter never experiences the hardships that many of his fellow human beings and their families face on a daily basis. Here is hoping that he might educate himself on the truth regarding poverty and misfortune in this nation that has treated him well, often at their expense.
And to all those who have felt life's bitter sting in this year, may Christmas and the New Year bring you better times.
Howard Hanson
Obama's efforts do nothing to make seniors' lives easier
I thought that post-election fatigue would set in, but my neighbor kept relentlessly haranguing me, praising the re-elected messiah Barack Obama.
He continued claiming that Obama is the only one who continues to save Social Security, Medicare, etc.
I blinked and replied that Obama had done nothing for me or any senior citizen, and asked, "Why should I have given him my vote?"
I said that my real estate taxes and Medicare premiums have risen, but my Social Security check had remained stagnant. I asked my neighbor how he enjoyed paying an 80 percent tax on his certificates of deposit at his local bank, and his automatic reply was "I don't pay any income taxes."
I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Before Obama, your $100,000 CD returned $5,000-plus. Now you're lucky to receive $1,000. That looks like an 80 percent tax to me."

Donbass Arena
Name Donbass Arena
Capacity 50000
Year Completed 2009
The recently constructed Donbass Arena, a space-age construction with the highest standards of spectator comfort, justifiably features on UEFA's elite list. While the arena looks impressive enough when basking in the sun, it comes into its own as a structural beauty when it is lit up in a variety of colours at night.
One of the landmark venues of Euro 2012, Donetsk is rightly proud of the stage it will provide for Europe's top players this summer. Situated in the finely-manicured Komasol Park to the north of downtown, the Donbass Arena is best reached by tram line 1 from the main railway station. Alternatively take trolleybus line 2 from the rail terminus.
Where to go, what to see
For all its reliance on heavy industry, the iron and steel plants, coal mines and slag heaps, Donetsk is by no stretch of the imagination a grimy and uninspiring ugly duckling. Appropriately for a location where oligarchs hold sway, Ukraine's fourth-largest city is a very much a glitzy boomtown, a forward-looking metropolis of swanky modern buildings, flashing neon, luxury cars and conspicuous consumption by its inhabitants.
The locals here have plenty of excess cash and they are not afraid to flash their wealth to anyone passing by. While it may be a city set up to accommodate hard workers and money-makers rather than tourists, the locals desire to enjoy the best possible life out of office hours burns brightly. Make no mistake, Donetsk has a real energy and buzz about it and not only because it will be staging three Euro 2012 Group D games, plus both a quarter and semi-final.
First-time visitors to Donetsk are often surprised to note how green, environmentally-conscious and cultural the place is. Its verdant alleys, tree-lined streets, botanical gardens, trademark rose bushes right, left and centre, well-kept parks and lakes are the stuff of an ecologist's dreams and covers all the recreational and arts bases with its theatres, philharmonic hall, circus, planetariums, museums, restaurants and clubs.
Spots to check out include the central Lenin square (Ploschad Lenina), the beautiful Pushkina boulevard - which features a highly impressive sculpture park and has to be the most pleasant stroll in the whole city - the miner monument on the corner of Artyoma and Kievsky, the Regional History Museum on Chelyuskintsev and Cathedral Transfiguration of Jesus (vul Artyoma 129).
The bulk of the city hustle and bustle is to be found on Universitetskaya and Artyoma streets, with the latter being particularly rich in good quality eating and drinking establishments. Marrakesh serves up great North African and French food - with optional belly dancers – while cavernous Irish pub, the Golden Lion, offers both excellent beer and deliciously authentic grub from the Emerald Isle.
You might even be surprised by the quality of the Guinness in a pub that will provide very familiar surrounds to any Irish supporters this summer. Cherry Pizza is a more than decent Italian and another spot that could well turn out to be a football fan favourite is the Yuzovskaya Pivovarnya microbrewery (Artyoma 129b).
For the best value meals in town, join the throng at the 3 Tolstyaka on Gurova Square, a Russian joint with flair and low, low prices. Hotel restaurants in the city centre are also a good bet if you are looking for a hearty mean and if you are looking for some market shopping, head for the corner of central market is located on the corner of Shevchenko and Chelyuskintsev.
A Welsh entrepreneur named John Hughes was instrumental in the founding of Donetsk back in 1869 and his legacy lives in as the city has long nurtured a love of all things British, an affinity the visiting England fans will no doubt be grateful for when they show up in sizeable numbers for group games against France and the host nation.
The Beatles, for example, continue to be immensely popular here and not surprisingly local businessmen have taken note of that local fascination, opening the Liverpool Art Hotel, Liverpool Foodmarket (a little naff maybe but a very cheap cafeteria all the same) and the Liverpool Live Music Bar (all three on vul Artyoma 131A). Donetsk airport is 8km to the north of the city centre on Vzletnaya, around 1km beyond Putilovsky bus station. Both are connected to downtown by trolleybus 9 or 10, which go up and down vul Universytetskaya.
The railway station is on pl Pryvokzalna, a little south of the airport, linked to the centre by bus or trolleybus 2. Both trams and trolleybuses run on the principal boulevards: Artyoma, Universitetskaya, Kommunarov and Mira. The orange and black clad fans of the city's number one football club, Shakhtar, certainly owe a huge debt of gratitude to hometown boy turned billionaire oligarch, Rinat Ahkmetov. Thanks to his Forbes-rated financial muscle Shakhtar, are now a real force in Europe.
The Donetsk Fan Zone will be held in the vicinity of the old Shakhtar stadium on vul Artyoma. Now mainly used for track and field, the ground features a statue of local hero pole vaulter, Sergey Bubka. Donetsk may not be on the tourist map just yet, yet it will be a fascinating spot to visit when the Euro 2012 party comes to town.

This lovely PSD file (350 Perfect Icons -- brankic1979) consists of a high number of beautiful icon elements that were originally masked in photoshop. I want to be able to import vector files into After Effects eventually. The vector information IS in the PS file as a path, but importing form PS into AE will not retain vector functionality. So here's where I ended up:
- I opened the file in Illustrator.
- Created Objects From Layers from the box that popped up.
- I went through each layer and deleted the BG of the mask.
Now I'm left with the shape object paths, but each object/group is in a separate layer. When I select all, and try to apply a swatch. Not only does it not work, but if I have some objects colored, they will lose that color, and go back to empty. SOMETHING is working, but in an "inverted" way, maybe?
How can I fill in all these empty shape layers with one color, all at once?
EDIT NOTE: This edit was in response to the confusion of my post, I had not mentioned ANYTHING about illustrator before (as you can see in Scott's response.
*SOLUTION*The solution from him is to simply, one by one, select which elements I want from the PSD file, copy and paste into AI, and then color from there. Thanks Scott for everything! Give props everyone.
