Cosmo Baker is a New York based DJ, music producer, and turntablist.
Baker was born in Reno, Nevada and at two years of age, he moved back to his family's hometown Philadelphia, with his mother and older sister, photographer Zoe Strauss. A lifelong music enthusiast, at the age of 16 he was DJing at many of the city's biggest nightclubs, including Revival, Sugarcube, and Silk City, holding one of the original resident spots alongside King Britt at the legendary Back 2 Basics party. After graduating from high school, Cosmo moved to Brooklyn and began working at Eightball Records. During this time in New York he threw himself into the underground House music scene, surrounding himself with legends such as Frankie Knuckles, Little Louie Vega, David Morales and Armand Van Helden. At the same time, his diverse DJ sets quickly made him a fixture on the downtown scene alongside DJs like Mark Ronson and Stretch Armstrong.
After moving back to Philadelphia in 1996 to continue his college studies, he soon started a party named The Remedy with fellow DJ Rich Medina. Lasting until 2003, this party was at the center of Philadelphia's burgeoning Neo soul community, frequently hosting luminaries of the scene such as The Roots and J Dilla. Bobbito García has called this party "The dopest continuous weekly hip-hop jam in the United States".[1] Also in the early 2000s Baker began traveling to Las Vegas on a weekly basis to spin at his residency at Baby's Nightclub, inside The Hard rock Hotel & Casino.
By 2003, Cosmo had moved back to New York City and joined DJ Ayres and DJ Eleven as the third member of the collective known as The Rub: a classics and hip-hop party, as well as a DJ crew and remix collective. The Rub crew was instrumental in helping propel the Mashup craze as well as helping to legitimize the style of "open format" DJing, made most famous by Adam Goldstein aka DJ AM and the Hollertronix crew. "The Rub has gained an avid following for hybridizing genres with the aplomb of a skilled gardener. Like Philadelphia's Hollertronix, the Rub's fans dance to Stevie Wonder, M.O.P., Björk, Justin Timberlake, and Young Jeezy with equal fervor."[2] As a member of The Rub, he has performed at the South By South West festival in Austin, Texas (2006, 2007 & 2008) [3] and the Winter Music Conference in Miami, Florida during the same years. After over 9 years as a member of The Rub, Baker left the group in mid-2012 to pursue solo opportunities.
His DJ sets run the gamut of musical genres, drawing inspiration from everything from Parliament-Funkadelic to EPMD to Neil Young, from obscure disco and soul to the latest Electronic dance music songs. A true "Philly DJ" by pedigree, he bridges the gap between old school legends like DJ Jazzy Jeff and new school heroes like Diplo. "Though I could see him in the booth, I couldn't believe my ears. Franz Ferdinand? The Rapture? Where were the smooth soul jams I dug on his Love Break mix? Once I'd shaken off the initial shock, it started to make sense. Baker rocks the party, and this was how the party needed to be rocked."[4]
Baker frequently performs across The United States and Canada. He has also performed in Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Denmark, England, Scotland, Germany, France, Spain, Israel, The United Arab Emirates, China, Japan, South Korea and Thailand.

Equip your mobile device with the essential apps that really make your job easier and more efficient.
- 1 of 18
- next ›
Like most people, I have a lot of apps on my iPhone and iPad. I don't use more than a handful and I move those to the first couple of "pages" for easy access.
I have rounded up twelve (more if you count iOS and Android) apps that I consider essentials for work. There is an app that I consider the best for unit conversion and the absolute best voice recording app I use for recording meetings so I don't miss anything and an app for those who like to take notes the old fashioned way. In all there are twelve different types of apps that are guaranteed to make your life easier at work. What more could you ask for?
I have also included a hearing test app for those of us that have been in the A/V industry and wondering if standing too close to the speakers has really had an effect on our hearing. It's no joke!
Who doesn't like a baker's dozen? At the end of the slide show, you'll find the app that I can't live without this time of the year. It is sure to please all because it works on just about every mobile device: iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire, Windows phone 7 and BlackBerry. This one is just for fun.

"Yuppie Terrorists" Attack Glasgow Airport With (Failed) Car Bomb
Yuppie terrorists, as Larry C. Johnson dubs them, owing to the fact that they owned Mercedes, which were probably stolen, but what do facts matter to a super-tough CIA dude who can improvise a shiv out of his toenail clippings and earwax? (Incidentally, why would the fact that the terrorists were wealthy or well-funded enough to buy Mercedes comfort us? Does anyone take comfort in the fact that Osama bin Ladin, with his $100 million family trust fund, is a Saudi "yuppie"?)
In one minor sense, he has a small point -- these bombers are not particularly good at building bombs, and he maybe quite right that it's overstated that these bombs could have killed "hundreds" as police officials said. They could have killed hundreds, had they been constructed properly -- but they weren't. At most, if they got somewhat lucky, they could have killed a few dozen.
But this is such a jackass point it borders on insanity to even concede it. Because we know Al Qaeda regularly sends in bomb-making experts to assist local terrorist cells. Are we to take mighty comfort in the fact that these guys weren't able to reach Al Qaeda's bomb-making Geek Squad, or that the guy who was sent was inexperienced? We know that there are thousands of radical Islamists who wish to kill Western civilians via suicide car-bomb; we know there are dozens -- maybe hundreds -- of fairly expert jihadist bomb-makers willing to assit in this endeavor. We're supposed to laugh this all off, as Larry "terrorism is not the biggest security challenge confronting the United States" Johnson does, because in this particular case Group One was unable to successfully work with Group Two?
Here's his post on today's attack:
Preliminary, unconfirmed reports indicate a nuclear blast has occurred at Glasgow's international airport. No one has seen the mushroom cloud or heard the blast, but something by God is happening and it must be terrible. There is smoke and fire. In fact, a car is on fire. It must be Al Qaeda. Only Al Qaeda knows how to set themselves on fire inside a car. Please. Flee to the hills (leave you doors unlocked). Oh the humanity!
Oh how terribly droll! He's a super-tough guy, you can see, because he laughs at the threat of terrorism, as does the entire left. They're the brave.
They're also the exact sort that got 3000 Americans killed on 9/11 by downplaying, understating, and even giggling at the threat posted by jihadi terrorists, but never mind that. They're right that some terrorists are technically incompetent; what's the big deal if, on occasion, some terrorists have a bit more technical acumen and manage to kill 54 in the London tubes or 3000 in the World Trade Ceneter and Pentagon? We can live with those occasional mass-slaughters, I guess.
If we take the threat terrorism seriously, then the terrorists have surely won. So have a giggle at the fact that London and parts of England are partially paralyzed today, and merely dozens of people very nearly got killed. Ha, ha. It's almost a knock-knock joke.
Here's a recent account of today's attack:
A blazing vehicle was driven into the main Glasgow airport terminal today. Two people were arrested and flights halted as all roads around the airport were shut.
I'm glad that "holidaymaker" was a bit more alarmed by the threat of jihadi terrorism than Larry "Americans are bedeviled by fantasies of terrorism" Johnson.
And it's not clear that this bomb wouldn't have gone off. Sometimes, you know, dynamite explodes accidentally:
"I spoke to an airport official who seemed to think it was not an accident. [It was no accident, we now know, of course.] He was very angry. He said the men in the car got out and started throwing petrol about - that must be how it caught fire.
Allah liveblogged throughout the incident. The most precious part must, of course, be AP's Larry Johnson-ish early claims that this was all just some sort of mundane car accident.
It's too bad Keith Olbermann doesn't work on Saturdays, too. It would have been fun to see him with Larry "The Declining Terrorist Threat" talking about how brave and even-keeled and "skeptical" they both are for deeming terrorist attacks "non-events" and car-bombs laden with fuel and propane tanks and nails "non-bombs."
It's simply shocking that a man who wrote an NYT op-ed called "The Declining Threat of Terrorism" which denigrated the terrorist threat and wrote that "Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism" on July 10, 2001 not only is so shameless to continue peddling the same "Don't Worry, Be Happy" advice he disasterously gave to the government as a CIA agent, but has a legion of liberal hacks eager to entertain his catastrophically wrong mindset for partisan reasons.
If I were a CIA agent who'd made that pronouncement about the silliness of worrying about terrorism a scant three months before 9/11, I'd be "living quietly" about such issues, out of simple respect for the dead I'd helped to kill.

Malice in Cornwall: An Erskine Powell Mysteryby Graham Thomas
On the north coast of Cornwall, residents in the quaint seaside town of Penrick report a terrifying phenomenon--an eerie, glowing apparition that rides the surf at night, adding a weird fascination to this place of picturesque streets, secluded beaches, and abandoned mines.<P><P> Yet Chief Superintendent Powell soon learns that Penrick already harbors unsolved mysteries. For, thirty years ago, someone killed a teenager and left her body to wash up on Penrick Sands--precisely where the apparition now appears. In fact, Powell faces not one but two strangely intertwined puzzles and a double-edged sword of menace. . . .From the Paperback edition.
Malice in Londonby Graham Thomas
DETECTIVE-CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT ERSKINE POWELL RETURNS--INVESTIGATING MALICE IN HIS OWN BACKYARD.When a murder victim is discovered in the murky waters of the River Thames, Erskine Powell of Scotland Yard plunges into the most diabolical case of his distinguished career. A second brutal slaying draws Powell even deeper into a tangled web of greed, deception, and blackmail. From Tower Bridge to Soho, from Mayfair to Bloomsbury, Powell throws a dragnet across London, racing against time to link two savage crimes--and stop a cold-blooded killer dead in his tracks. . . .From the Paperback edition.
Malice in the Highlandsby Graham Thomas
INTRODUCING ERSKINE POWELL OF SCOTLAND YARD Crime, investigation, punishment. They're all in a day's work to Detective Chief Superintendent Erskine Powell of New Scotland Yard. As a member of the Yard's Murder Squad, Powell tracks miscreants all over London. Now, seeking distance from the criminal constituency--and the bureaucratic drudgery of the Yard--Powell embarks on a salmon-fishing competition in the Scottish Highlands. There, in the castle-dotted countryside along the picturesque River Spey, he seeks peace and seclusion. But a cold-blooded murderer soon turns Powell's haven into a busman's holiday--and a quiet anglers' paradise becomes just as deadly as the mean streets of London.
Malice On The Moorsby Graham Thomas
ERSKINE POWELL OF SCOTLAND YARD INVESTIGATES MURDER ON THE MOORS. On a remote, fog-enshrouded estate in the North York Moors, a murderer lays a cunning trap. The prey, it seems, is Dickie Dinsdale, the greedy landowner who bulldozes people's lives like so many old barns. Easily a dozen residents of Blackamoor would derive pleasure from Dinsdale's slow, painful death. But, Detective-Chief Superintendent Erskine Powell asks himself, which of them is bold enough to do the deed? Is it Dinsdale's old g...

One great drawback in my opinion when it comes to Windows Azure Virtual Machines is that the gallery only contains images for Data Center edition of Windows 2012, most companies do not need data center edition and neither do I, luckily Azure provides a way of uploading you own VHD image and use that to spin up new machines.
The documentation here says that it has to be Windows 2008 R2 or 2012 I wont go into details about the guide but point out where it is wrong, this might change when Microsoft get someone to update the documentation.
In Step 2 "Create the image" do not create a large disk I tried it with 127GB disk which is the maximum size, eventhough the file after installing the OS was only ~8GB it took forever to upload and Azure allocates all 127GB, I had better luck using a 30GB disk in size, and yes I did not use a fixed sized VHD.
In Step 5 Upload the image to Windows Azure, you must create and install a certificate, this section is confusing to me:
1. It is not clear what certificate I can use but as it turns out you can create you own certificate it does not have to be a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) that creates it.
2. The guide says press preview, but that link does not exist anymore. It is moved to Settings
3. The section about how to obtain the thumbprint of the certificate and the subscription ID is just wrong all the information can be found under Settings when the certificate is uploaded.
When you have all the information make sure that you have the Azure sdk otherwise you can get it here: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/downloads/ or if you prefer direct downloads it's here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=254364&clcid=0x409
DO NOT try to shortcut and use Cloudberry Explorer eventhough it is an excellent tool for moving files to and from Azure it is not usable for uploading images.
When everything is done uploading the guide leaves you with nothing, where to go from here?
I uploaded the image to a destination called http://win2012storage.blob.core.windows.net/vhd/Windows2010vhd with a label called "Windows 2012 VHD" as far as I can read the label should be used as a named but that I cant see that in the dashboard on Azure. The screenshot shows my failed 127GB VHD
What does the URL means http://win2012storage.blob.core.windows.net/vhd/Windows2010vhd, the "win2012storage" part is the name of the Storage you gave it when creating it. In the Azure Dashboard press Storage and the name should appear
The "blob.core.windows.net" is not to be changed and is the microsoft domain name for the storage so do not mind that. However the next part "vhd" is the name of the container where that VHD file is to be placed, this one you have to create and name your self. Inside the container is where your files are stored.
When everything is in place you can start using the image to create your own instances of virtual machines.
I had this error for a couple of days and I had no idea as to what was coursing it, as far as I remembered I didn't do anything.
As it turns out you can misconfigure BlogEngine so this unhandled exception occurs, under Settings -> Feed the Language code must match exactly or you and your blog is doomed. Alternately you can leave it blank.
In a recent post I showed how to move a simple web site to Azure but one thing is moving the site another is getting the DNS to point to the new site.
In Azure websites you have to upgrade your web site to a shared mode as a minimum or reserved.
I have created my web site and it is showing up in the web sites section https://manage.windowsazure.com/#Workspace/WebsiteExtension/websites as myblog123.azurewebsites.com, that is not quite what I want, in order to change that you have to do the following.
Select the website in the Azure dashboard and select Scale.
In the General section of the Scale page select Shared mode and press save:
When pressing save a warning is displayed that this will have billing impact, but not what, but that remains to be seen
When the change is committed after a couple of seconds click on the Configure link:
Note how the previous warning in the domain names section now has changed and the Manage Domains button at the buttom of the page is now enabled.
Press the button and insert your domain. NOTE that you must verify that you own the domain by adding a CNAME record like the dialogue says.
When the domain is verified add a new A record to the designated IP address and wait until the DNS is updated and everything is ready to go.
For the last four or five years I have been hosting my own websites but, with the new Windows Azure web sites (in preview at the moment) I thought it would be a way of getting some experience with Microsoft Windows Azure.
First sign up for a free trial here http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/?l=en-us
Fortunately it is really easy to set the site up just go to https://manage.windowsazure.com/#Workspace/WebsiteExtension/websites and press new:
Select New ->Web Site -> From Gallery
Select the Blogengine "app" verything is an app at the moment
Select an url, region and the subscription you want to use it is possible to have more then one. Also note that the url has to be unique on the entire azurewebbsites.net domain it is possible to change it though.
After a short the site is configured
But wait, what kind of url is that my I want my blog to be on another domain, more about that in a later post.
In my previous post I tried to get rid of all the comments spam and succeeded! But I decided to upgrade to Blogengine 1.6.0 due to the new comments moderation features, and it's ok, the thing that still bothers me are that I'm still getting mails about the spam comments, surely it's easy to go in mark them and delete all the comment from a central point but still, I don't want to see those mails. So why not configure Blogengine not to send any mails? Well, I could but then I wouldn't get alerted when real users leave their comments. So the only solution was to update the captcha package to match Blogengine 1.6.0.
First of all the structure of the package is simplified by grouping the JQuery files under the captcha folder.
It should be a simple copy and paste EXCEPT for the web.config file do not override your own with mine, it only shows what to change to enable session state. As usual backup your files in case something goes wrong.
Insert this in HTML head section under Settings in Blogengine
And all is good. No more spam. As always the credit goes to http://www.webdesignbeach.com
Download the source from this link:
captcha.rar (58,41 kb)
The process of upgradeing to Blogengine 1.6 from 1.4.5 was really easy, unfortunately my new and super cool implementation of fancy ajax capcha is no longer to be found on my blog, and since the new version has a better administration of blog comments/spam, I doubt it will return.
First of all you need to download the files from here http://www.webdesignbeach.com/ajax-fancy-captcha-php.zip I won't waste time writing how to install the files since there is a good explanation on the website http://www.webdesignbeach.com/beachbar/ajax-fancy-captcha-jquery-plugin
But copy the files into your Blogengine folder
The first problem I faced was that it was made with PHP in mind and since BlogEngine are using .NET I had to change the captcha.php file to a .NET version.So I created a new file in the captcha folder called captcha.aspx looking like this:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" %><% if(Request["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST" && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request["captcha"]) && Request["captcha"] == Session["captcha"]) { Response.Write( "Passed!"); /* YOUR CODE GOES HERE */ Session["captcha"] = string.Empty; /* this line makes session free, we recommend you to keep it */ } else if(Request["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST" && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request["captcha"])) { Response.Write("Failed!"); }/* in case that form isn't submitted this file will create a random number and save it in session */else { Random r = new Random(); int random = r.Next(0,4); Session["captcha"] = r.Next(0,4);; Response.Write(Session["captcha"]); } %>
I really don't care much about anything in here besides the Session handling that's because .NET and Blogengine both submits form data using javascript and I don't like to mess with the mechanics so nothing special happens here, except the random numbers generated.
The original plug-in was made so a post could not happen without the right icon was chosen, but in this version the submit button is merely disabled/enabled.
Make sure that you have enabled session in the web.config or nothing will happen.
In the jquery.captcha.js file find the following line and comment it out
//$("#" + options.formId).append("<input type=\"hidden\" style=\"display: none;\" id=\"captcha\" name=\"captcha\" value=\"" + rand + "\">");
Insert thes after the line above$("#captcha").val(rand);
Next a little configuration of Blogengine is required, bear in mind that this is only tested in version 18.104.22.168, but in the settings page the references to the scripts are inserted
<script type="text/javascript" src="../latest-jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../latest-jquery-ui/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.min.js"></script>
BlogEngine uses the $ sign too so in order to avoid problems with JQuery make sure that you add $j = jQuery.noConflict(); that cause some grief on my behalf but luckily I found this blog http://www.dscoduc.com/2008/09/jquery-goodness-for-blogenginenet/
This is the container for the Plugin so place it somewhere fitting like before the submit button. Before this line: <input type="button" id="btnSaveAjax" value="<%=Resources.labels.saveComment %>" onclick="if(Page_ClientValidate('AddComment')){AddComment()}" tabindex="7" />
Insert the following line in the same file <input type="hidden" name="captcha" id="captcha" value="" /> this is the value generated by the captcha script.
Lastly you must edit the AddComment() method in the blog.js file after all the variable declarations replace:
WebForm_DoCallback('ctl00$cphBody$CommentView1',argument, callback,'comment',null,false);
withvar cap = $("captcha");if(cap.value != "") { WebForm_DoCallback('ctl00$cphBody$CommentView1',argument, callback,'comment',null,false); }
This will make sure the submit will never run unless the hidden field has a value. Alternatively you could move the check into the comments.ascx.cs file and check the value against the session value. But so far I have'nt got any spam.
That's it time will tell if it solves the spam problem but why don't try it out and leave a comment.
Pretty neat if I might say so, all credits to http://www.webdesignbeach.com of cause.
I got an interesting question today. "Is it possible to assign values to more then one property in a collection. Using List.ForEach(Action<T>) and lambda expressions?"
Well how hard can that be so I naturally googled it, and came up with no usable results what so ever, I dont blame Google here might be me thats using the wrong search expression. The closest I could get was this article on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb397687.aspx
I dont think this is something you do every day, and I have a hard time figuring out why this was desireable but then again i did'nt ask.
First we need a class:
class test { public int prop1 { get; set; } public int prop2 { get; set; }}
Next a small console application:
class Program{ static void Main(string[] args) { List<test> l = new List<test>(); l.Add(new test()); l.Add(new test()); l.ForEach(p => { p.prop1 = 2; p.prop2 = 4; }); foreach (test item in l) { Console.WriteLine(item.prop1 + item.prop2); } Console.ReadLine(); }}
I just recieved my certification as a scrum master so I just wanted to flash my brand new certificate on my blog
One of the things Microsoft never quit has got its grip about is the support for mobile devices in Sharepoint, I know that it's possible to get mobile views of lists and navigation by appending an m to the url like this http://servername/m what this does is simply redirecting you to /_layouts/mobile/mbllists.aspx page, one thing comes to mind here is that you are redirected to the _layouts folder which indicates this is an application, the pages are of the SPMobilePage type which inherits System.Web.UI.MobileControls.MobilePage that inherits the normal Page class like a normal LayoutsPageBase does via UnsecuredLayoutsPageBase.
The problem as I see it are that you do not have a way of extending the pages with webparts if you need it, and on the other hand if you create a normal web part page and saves it to a page library the total page size will be very large and prevent the mobile device performing at a acceptable pace.
This is caused by Sharepoint, because it injects links to external js and css files that the device must load. I was recently hired as a consultant where the customer used Sharepoint and integrated with DynamicsAX.
Dynamics comes with a lot of webparts that was required to run on a Motorola hand terminal, which was used to scan barcodes. The problem was that the total page size was so large that the terminal was slowed down; the users didn't need any special rights on the portal so Site Actions was not shown, and the need for the webpart menu wasn't needed either.
But whenever Sharepoint sees a webpart it automatically loads core.css, init.js, ie55up.js (depending on browser) and core.js.
We need to be able to select what the page returns depending on what you want to do. E.g. editing a page or using it from a hand terminal. So we need a way to control the output from Sharepoint without scarifying the functionality of the page. The goal was that an entire page must not exceed 10kb.
I created a new master page based on the default.master called mobile.master, and a new page for testing purposes called mobilepage.aspx.
I used Fiddler2 to measure the payload of the page the result was as follows:
Even with everything removed from the Mobilepage.aspx and the masterpage we still have a payload of approx. 150KB that's about 15 times more than acceptable also the chart says it all, about 80% is javascript, which is totally unnecessary in this scenario, in this demo the only thing want to show is this:
Naturally a more rich webpart will be used in a real world scenario.
After trying a few different approaches, one of them was to insert <Sharepoint:ScriptLink runat="server"/> web control into the masterpage. That solved some of the issues concerning the core.js, but that's only 70KB of the 140KB needed. I was still stuck with a lot of javascript.
To do that two things have to be done first create a class that implements the IHttpModule interface and update web.config in the <httpModules> section
<add name="MobileModule" type="Minimum_Payload.HttpFilter, Minimum Payload, Version=184.108.40.206, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c23d6c989c59848d" />
namespace Minimum_Payload
public class HttpFilter :IHttpModule
#region IHttpModule Members
public void Dispose()
HttpApplication _context = null;
public void Init(HttpApplication context)
_context = context;
context.ReleaseRequestState += new EventHandler(context_ReleaseRequestState);
void context_ReleaseRequestState(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(_context.Request.QueryString["mobile"])) return;
_context.Context.Response.Filter = new MobileFilter(_context.Context.Response.Filter);
One of the requirements was the ability to control whether it was a normal browser or a mobile device, for this demo I choose the querystring.
I used this post as inspiration from 4guysfromrolla
public class MobileFilter : MemoryStream
Stream _output = null;
public MobileFilter(Stream output)
_output = output;
public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
string page = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer);
int indexOfScript = page.IndexOf("<script>") + 8;
int indexOfLastScript = page.IndexOf("</script><SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript' >");
page = page.Remove(indexOfScript, indexOfLastScript - indexOfScript);
if (page.ToLower().Contains("</title>"))
int indexOfTitle = page.IndexOf("</title>");
int indexOfLastTitle = page.IndexOf("<title>",indexOfTitle);
page = page.Remove(indexOfTitle, indexOfLastTitle - indexOfTitle);
_output.Write(UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(page), offset, UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetByteCount(page));
This filter is very simple and I won't recommend that you use it in a production environment, but as an example it works well. The result of the payload of the page are shown here
It is possible to reduce the payload of the page and truly enable mobile devices using webparts. However I do not think that this scenario are supported by Microsoft and I also think that you should take great care in when using custom httphandlers in Sharepoint. Mainly because all request will pass through it, and this could degrade performance.

A former Eton College student has been spared jail after making and sharing graphic images of child abuse, it has been reported.
Andrew Picard, 18, was found to have more than 2,000 pornographic images of children as young as two years old, including rape and bestiality. The images were found on his computer at the prestigious boarding school after Picard, then 17-years-old, shared the illegal material in an online chat room with an undercover police officer, The Daily Mail reports.
Picard has been given a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months.
Oxford Crown Court heard Picard made indecent images of children and shared them via Skype chat rooms between January and February of last year. Some of the images included children as young as two years old being forced to have sex with dogs.
The court heard an undercover officer entered an online chat room for teenagers, where he was approached by Picard who offered to send abuse images.
His message to the undercover officer read: "Do you want to see pics of boys and girls your age nude?"
After claiming to have hundreds of such images, he subsequently shared a number of indecent images of a boy, 10, and girls aged eight and 14.
Picard shared a video of his own face with the undercover officer.
Cathy Olliver, prosecuting, said: "His IP address led police to Eton College in Berkshire where staff were able to identify him as a pupil. He was arrested from school on suspicion of distributing indecent photographs of children."
The computer in his school dormitory was seized and Picard admitted one count of possessing indecent pictures of children, one count of making indecent pictures of children and eight counts of distributing indecent photos or recordings of a child.

1/19 UCL students 'declare victory' as 5-month long rent dispute is resolved
UCL said its offer to make available £350,000 for 2016/17 to fund accommodation bursaries for those students in most need of financial support, to freeze rent for 2016/17 and to reduce rent for some rooms had been accepted. Shelly Asquith, NUS vice-president of welfare, said: "Rent hikes will lead to more rent strikes, and now we know that rent strikes win."

2/19 Dutch university warns UK students to apply as soon as possible while tuition fees are still affordable
Maastricht University (UM) in the Netherlands has said British students will continue to benefit from fees of just £1,600 a year for at least the next two years. Once Britain has legally left the EU - and considering it does not join the European Economic Area - UM said its fees could still rise to as much as £8,360 a year for UK students.

3/19 UK risks losing over 33,000 much-needed female scientists each year
New research has shown almost a quarter of current female science students will not or are not sure whether they will pursue a career in science, equating to 33,371 students. Dr Steve Shiel, scientific director at L'Oreal UK & Ireland, said: "There's no question that science needs women, and it's disappointing almost a quarter of passionate young UK scientists are being put off before they've even begun their career."
4/19 De Montfort University petition urges Government to protect residency rights of EU nationals post-Brexit result
A petition launched by the Leicester institution less than a week ago has already gathered 1,500 signatures as supporters insist EU nationals make "an enormous contribution" to ground-breaking research and quality of teaching. Rick Greenough, of DMU's Institute for Energy and Sustainable Development, said: "Our colleagues from the EU are far too valuable as employees and friends to risk forcing or encouraging them to leave the UK."
5/19 Exeter University staff and students subjected to verbal abuse post-EU referendum
Deputy vice-chancellor at the University of Exeter, Professor Nick Talbot, told ITV News the incidents were "terrible, reprehensible, and awful." However, he said he believes the majority of people in the United Kingdom would "overwhelming reject that type of activity." The university has urged anyone who experiences such incidents to contact police immediately.

6/19 Students turning to sex work to cope with rising tuition fees and living costs
More than half - 67 per cent - have turned to sex work to be able to pay for living expenses, such as food and bills, followed by 53 per cent who need the money to pay for rent, says NUS report. Another 35 per cent say their earnings are used to pay for university fees, while around a quarter use money earned to reduce post-graduation debt, or to avoid getting into debt.
7/19 Parliamentary debate finally triggered over Government's controversial decision to retrospectively change student loans terms
The news will come as a pleasant surprise seeing as how the Government had rejected a petition just over a week ago, despite it surpassing the crucial 100,000 signatures it needed to make it eligible for parliamentary debate. Consumer champion, Martin Lewis, says: "Parliament has sat up and listened. With a new Government coming in September, there is still time for it to do a U-turn on this disgraceful policy and I, for one, will be pushing as hard and loudly as possible for that to happen." The debate is set for Monday 18 July at 4.30pm.

8/19 Remain and Leave students have two main things in common when it comes to the Brexit result
A combined 91 per cent feel Brexit campaigners "insufficiently investigated" the impact on education, while 57 per cent think their university failed to provide adequate information on the impact of a Brexit vote. Chloe Burgess, director at GTI Media, said: "It's inevitable opinions would be divided among the student body, but they all share a common interest in playing an active part in their country's future. This political inclination will, no doubt, be further expressed in the coming months, as university and careers issues are increasingly brought to light post-Brexit."
9/19 Thousands of graduates working in jobs that don't require any qualifications
Over 50,000 new graduates are in non-graduate jobs, including lollypop ladies, factory workers and hospital porters, new figures have revealed, leading experts to question the value of costly university degrees in the Brexit climate, employment data released by the Higher Education Statistics Agency shows.

10/19 Disadvantaged young people at risk of being put off university if Government raises tuition fees
Non-whites and those who receive free school meals are also more likely to choose low-cost university options if tuition fees are liable to change, says new report 'Does Cost Matter?' UCU general secretary, Sally Hunt, says: "We risk creating a polarised university system of haves and have-nots where costs determines young people's choices."

11/19 Worrying trend of 'drunkorexia' on the rise among female students
It had been thought that 'drunkorexia', the trend of skipping meals in order to save calories to drink alcohol, was anecdotal.However, the practice is very much a reality - and becoming worryingly popular among young women, particularly university students - as it is revealed almost 60 per cent of female undergrads admit to drunkorexic behaviours.

12/19 University to offer out-of-work graduates half their tuition fees back in cash
The University of Law (ULaw) says its new '100% for You' initiative will also offer a half-price discount to its unemployed graduate lawyers should they wish to pursue a postgrad. Graduates must have been unable to secure full-time employment 9 months after graduation to qualify for the refund.
13/19 Gender discrimination present among students as young as 16, schoolgirls report
Over a third of girls aged 16 to 18 - 36 per cent - say they have witnessed gender discrimination in school. Startlingly, only one in five boys - or 19 per cent - believes a gender divide exists today. Michael Mercieca, chief executive of Young Enterprise, described how the gender divide "remains rife in our education system," from girls lacking the confidence to pursue leadership roles and to expect higher starting salaries, to the "pervasive belief" STEM topics are more interesting for boys.
14/19 Government confirms funding for EU students in UK to be honoured after Brexit
The Student Loans Company said it has sought to reassure anxious students and applicants from home and abroad about how the EU referendum results might affect the funding of their courses. In a statement on Twitter, Universities Minister Jo Johnson said: "Current students and this autumn's applicants will continue to receive student finance for duration of their course. [The] UK welcomes EU students." The University of Buckingham, pictured, has the highest percentage of overseas students, a number of whom are from the EU.

15/19 York University student gets public apology and £1,000 payout after making anti-Semitism complaints
According to The Sunday Times, 21-year-old law student, Zachary Confino, "suffered stress and narrowly missed a first-class degree" following comments made to him over a period of two years. The comments reportedly included anonymous messages posted to him on social media app, Yik Yak, as well as face-to-face name-calling. University spokesperson says: "The university is committed to preserving the right to freedom of expression while also combating anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and any other form of race hate."

16/19 European Students' Union will 'stand together' with UK's young voters post-Brexit
Representing over 15 million students across the continent, ESU president says: "We hope the UK Government and the EU institutions will find a deal that won't jeopardize students in UK, and that UK universities won't increase tuition fees to compensate the loss of EU money."

17/19 UK result would have been Remain had votes been allowed at 16
With 1.46 million 16 and 17-year-olds in the UK - and with that 82 per cent voting Remain - the number would have matched the 1.2 million difference between Out and In, potentially changing the result completely, The Student Room survey finds.

18/19 Access to social media sites more important to students than promotions and bonuses
Access to social media sites is so essential for students in their careers, they would also turn down gym memberships, subsidised lunches, company-provided smartphones, laptops, tablets and cars, and even healthcare and dental schemes, graduate careers app, Debut, finds.
19/19 Student homelessness in London is 'a hidden problem,' says academic
Patrick Mulrenan, senior lecturer in housing at London Metropolitan University (LMU), carried out research to find students across the capital are being forced to sleep on floors, stay with friends and relatives, or in council temporary accommodation. He said: We need to find out how many students are affected and encourage them to use the support that is available. We want to use this research to get the message out there that there is help available, and encourage students to tell us if they are homeless."
Defending, Sallie Bennett-Jenkins QC said that Picard had been undergoing psychological treatment with psychiatrists and doctors in relation to the crimes. She said: "This is a young and very able man who has hopes for the future. He was able to have this opportunity [to seek help] and this was something Andrew sought for himself, by himself."
Picard was spared jailed and given a 10-month sentence, suspended for 18 months and with a mental health treatment requirement.
Judge Peter Ross said: "This defendant Andrew Picard was a privileged young man. His family are clearly wealthy enough to send him to school in Eton. Quite how you found your way into this unpleasant world Mr Picard, the world of chatrooms and exchanging this material, is not clear to me.
"Why you did it, doctors and others have sought to explain- the emotional difficulties you had, issues around your sexuality… It has been said that you and your family have suffered deeply as a result of your arrest and public exposure. Your family didn't deserve that but it is a consequence of this sort of offending."
"All too often in these courtrooms, we see the internet and chatrooms providing a degree of assumed detachment in terms of what is said and the material that is viewed. Please make no bones about it, these are children, some of them very tiny and they are being abused and tortured simply to provide sexual gratification, mainly, to adult males.
"All over the world, too often in the third world, children [are] being made objects of the most appalling abuse. It forms a currency and you played a part in that. You were seeking to obtain your own sexual gratification."

Skip to comments.Anybody But Gorelick!!!
Posted on 03/25/2011 3:51:45 PM PDT by Segovia
We cannot let the moron appoint this woman to succeed Robert Mueller! This person is a national natural disaster.
First, there was her tenure as deputy attorney general under Janet Reno during President Clinton's first term. Reno described Gorelick as Justice's "chief operating officer" from 1993 to 1997. She was a key Reno adviser during the horrendous events in Waco, Texas, in which David Koresh, 76 of his Branch Davidian followers (including 20 women and children) and four federal agents died in an unbelievably bungled assault intended to end a 50-day siege. The Davidians were immolated in an inferno apparently ignited by pyrotechnic gas grenades used by the government in the assault.
Next came Gorelick's move to Fannie Mae, where as vice chairwoman from 1997 to 2003 she was paid in excess of $26 million. During her time at Fannie Mae, Enron-style accounting techniques were used to make the government-chartered mortgage corporation appear to be in better financial shape than it was. As a result of the cooked books, Gorelick was paid more than $800,000 in bonuses in 1998. She was among multiple former Democratic operatives then working at Fannie Mae who received substantial additional compensation for their exertions in what later proved to be a $10 billion scandal. Shortly before the scandal became public, Gorelick told Businessweek that Fannie Mae was "managed safely ... Fannie Mae is among the handful of top-quality institutions." It was also during these years that Fannie Mae began investing heavily in the subprime loans and unsecured mortgage securities that were at the heart of the Great Recession of 2008.
Finally, and most seriously, there is the matter of "Gorelick's Wall" and 9/11. Gorelick was a member of the 9/11 Commission and became a focus of critical attention during its hearings when it became known that during her DOJ tenure she imposed a policy of radical separation between the FBI and the nation's intelligence agencies in terrorism investigations. According to then-Attorney General John Ashcroft, "Gorelick's Wall" was a key reason why "we did not know an attack was coming." By barring such contacts, Ashcroft told the commission, "our agents were isolated by government-imposed walls, handcuffed by government-imposed restrictions, and starved for basic information technology. The old national intelligence system in place on September 11 was destined to fail." Gorelick refused to resign from the commission despite the obvious conflict of interest.

I cannot believe anyone would even consider this ditz for the job. More proof that we've got a bunch of braindead morons running the government. Gorelick should be in jail not head of the FBI.
Stupid is as stupid does....
but this is so in character for O'Bastard to appoint her— it's how to do the most damage— just like everything else he has done since he assumed office.
They have got to be kidding...
It is not stupid or brain dead it is evil. She is a criminal. 9/11 and the looting of Freddie Mac was her handiwork. What a corrupt country. Keep watching Obama TV - it supports them.
She has the "BLOOD" of 3,000 American's on her hands!!
"they" are not only not kidding, they are not amused. They'll get their Gorelick in or our heads off!
She is the perfect match for Eric Holder. She is perfectly qualified to be 0bama's FBI director. She is a radical, marxist, hates the USA, and incompetent. What is there not to like? /s
They could exhume J. Edgar Hoover, dress the corpse up in women's underwear, prop him behind a desk, and you still would have a better choice for FBI director.
We conservatives win a battle every now and then. This proves how lost the war truly is.
The Democrat resume enhancement program works folks.
Fail/ruin your way to bigger things.
Never doubt it!
That's not the half of it. Just think. The commie biatch will have access to ALL of the FBI files. Something even Bill and Hillary could have only wished for. This is not good for America. Before you know it, Pvt Manning will be emailing them to his butt buddy Assange.
What a great country we live in...
Reason #725348 why we are the most corrupt democracy on this planet.
Whodda thunk that the maggot-infested, commie hippies would someday take possession of all of America's money.
Could this pack of rats be any more corrupt?
Anyone except anyone Obama would consider.
Actually I can't think of anyone more suited to be O's FBI director than Gorelick. There is a certain symmetry there.
Fascinating how corrupt these bastards are.
Gorelick has been personally involved in every major debacle during the last 20 years.
Wasn't that pretty much how things were when he was living? lol
No joke, Paul; what is happening to this country was the chief cause of the heart attack I had last year. I refuse to die till the SOB is out of office.
She's in here at the 6:20 mark - over half million salary and almost a million bonus...
I have to say the Republicans did their darnest to clamp down on Freddie and Fannie but Walters, Frank et al thought it was terrific and the others thought it was racist. So the Dem Cash Cow continued. That's a good video for what's coming down the road. Fred and Fan will be back for more...lots and lots more...
There's a reason they want Gorelick head of the FBI...she's one very lethal woman.
waco, fannie, 9/11 wall. That is a trifecta in my book. Whose desk is she under doing a Lewinski? No other explanation makes sense
Is this a joke?
And profited either directly (Fannie Mae bonuses) or indirectly (government promotions) from each one. She needs to be behind bars for treason.
That's exactly the reaction Obama wants from this trial balloon - so when he appoints some black Marxist lawyer from his Chicago circle, the guy will look good by comparison and opposition to his nomination will be less that it otherwise would have been.
She's a control freak....her orders are to set up a wall 10 ft thick around Obama so NOTHING scandelous gets out. If she has to fire a few Repub FBI guys or take them to a park...so be it. She has her orders.
yes actually, she should have been prosecuted for extreme dereliction of duty, but W let them put her on the 9/11 Commission so she could cover her own, and quite a few other tracks. She does belong in prison, or in front of a firing squad.
I wish I was kidding.
We have not yet begun to fight.
That article is incomplete, or at least their is more to the story.
When British Petroleum met at the White House with Obama about the gulf oil spill, do you remember that the Justice Department had announced a criminal probe of BP?
Yeah, while the DOJ had an announced criminal probe, them met with the president. Eric Holder was at that meeting representing the DOJ.
BP official were there with their legal counsel.
You'll never guess who one of BP's lawyers was at that meeting.
Jamie Gorelick.
I kid you not.
Gorelick is a political MEGA-fixer. I can just about guarantee you that there is a HUGE politial federal crime about to take place, or has already happened. She is being installed to run interference and fix the investigation.
"We have not yet begun to fight."
When are we starting? I don't want to miss it.
I know what you mean.
I had heart surgery 3 years ago. They had to remove the sack that was compressing my heart and I needed 4 bypasses, but they could only complete two. I suffered a stroke during the surgery and contracted MRSA. I spent 2 months in the hospital. My lungs are toast and I'm a diabetic. I refuse to lose.
That's the short list. LOL
I refuse to die until Obama is out of my White House, even if I have to have each one of my organs replaced. ;>)
Glad you made it.....
Ha. I'm feeling pretty sickly lately, too. We gotta get ourselves unstressed and bide our time. Relax. The SOB will be out, hopefully sooner rather than later. - Two of husband's classmates died this week; one was a Republican very INTO the political scene. Hope this mess wasn't what stressed him. - Chin up; no dying until BO's gone.
Of course dont you get it? Look, the left gets people they KNOW are compromised. That way they dance to the tune they want them to. If they step out of line then the administration just "leaks" a story to the press. It is the entire game in DC. That is why they do not like Palin. They did everything to compromise her and couldnt. There are no strings to pull, that is why they need to get her off the ticket. No strings no control.
I hope to live long enough to pour a bottle of single malt Scotch on his grave, after first passing it through my kidneys.

Having read all of the main texts on the Bravo Two Zero debacle, I would have liked this book to have explored more of the similarities in failure. At one point in the book Lewis says that lessons were learned from Bravo Two Zero, but after reading the book it hardly seems the case, save for the use of vehicles and the issue of cold weather clothing. The incredible intelligence failures could have been explored more...or perhaps Lewis didn't want to turn it into an analysis of where it all went wrong. For me, the book could have benefitted from an in depth post script covering the post mortem that must surely have taken place. In a way the almost unbelievable repeat of such a clusterf*** was the really interesting story, and that was not investigated.
The action is repetitive. Ok that might be how it happened, but somehow it became frustrating to read. It would probably transfer to screen better than it does on paper.
The book is a good read if you appreciate stories about human spirit, and the incredible will to survive. It is hard to read without thinking how you might cope yourself in such a situation, and realising you wouldn't at all. You leave the book with a great respect for everybody involved (except for those behind the desks who dreamed it up)
Its a well-told and lively narrative,with many human touches and little descent into SF jargon of brave men doing a tough and impossible mission and their escape.You dont have to agree with why they were there or indeed any of it to enjoy a powerful adventure.It could be shorter and chapters 2 and 3 dont tell you much(
Having been in the military for over 30 years, 5 of which spent in the Middle East in various countries, there are times I have almost thrown it in the bin (but it was a present so I am persevering!).
There are so many holes I don't know where to begin, but lets start at the beginning of the book. We are supposed to believe that Sgt Grayling (Grey) is an experienced SF op but when almost discovered by a boy goat herder, in order to try to keep the mission a secret (and not let the boy escape) he considers blowing him away (and half his goats) with a .50 Cal HMG!!! They dont make much noise do they, oh and unlike an assault rifle (which most Arabs have access to - from the 1st Gulf War) it couldnt be passed off as celebratory fire. Or, now heres an idea, why not take him down by hand and silently.
Terminology is incorrect, JTAC stands for Joint Tactical Air Controller Damien, not what you wrote. The Squadron Sergeant Major (SSM) goes from being the 'Troop SSM (!), to the RSM, back to the SSM. The clue is in the title. Now the SF boys tend to shy away from 'the rules' as we know but no one, ever, in my experience, says 'Afirm' on the radio (unless they are a Yank or been watching too may war films). The answer should be Roger over, or Roger out or even Ack but come on. These seemingly small issues undermine the credibility of the book.
If you are after a serious book with credible insights, avoid this like the plague!
My only criticism is that it ended a little abruptly: the story was told, but it would have been good to have a little more detail on what some of the main players did next. But if a book leaves you wanting more then it has probably done its job well.
If you enjoy this sort of book, buy this - you wont be disappointed. But watch out for that red nose.
