SUPPLY — Brunswick County Schools is on its way to becoming an example for others to follow in crisis management.
The district hosted a pair of training sessions led by Rick Kaufman, a nationally recognized veteran of crisis management, Thursday, Feb. 20.
Kaufman is the executive director of community relations and emergency management for Bloomington (Minn.) Public Schools. He formerly served in this role for Colorado's largest public school system, where he led the Crisis Response Team to the Columbine High School tragedy in April 1999.
The insurance industry hasn't withdrawn its latest request for homeowner rate increases. As a result, North Carolina's insurance commissioner has scheduled a public hearing on the matter, refusing to entertain any settlement negotiations.
Commissioner Wayne Goodwin had criticized the North Carolina Rate Bureau's request the day it was filed, Jan. 3, pointing out that the last round of approved homeowner insurance rate increases went into effect just six months earlier.
We've come a long way, baby.

O'Connell is the golfer of the week. He led the winning team with a score of 89 and was +7.

I call this The "Sommer" Smoothie for two reasons. The first is because that is how my name is spelled, even though it's pronounced like the season and the second is because it is my own creation. It is definitely Summertime, too! :) I made up this smoothie myself using ingredients I had on hand and a couple that were leftovers from dinner that night, but weren't enough to save and I didn't want to waste yummy fruit. This smoothie is not only dairy-free, but has fruit and chocolate in it. I completely eye-balled the ingredients, but I have approximated them to the best of my ability here. I had this for dessert, but it makes a great snack, brunch, or breakfast drink. This ended up making about 20oz or so, and I had enough for a yummy dessert that night and froze the leftovers. I thawed the smoothie for a few hours in the fridge the next morning and then on the counter for another hour or so and had a tasty mid-morning snack. The ingredients can be varied in amounts and type to suit your needs and tastes. My bf liked it, but he's not a soy milk fan. I don't have much of a choice, lol, as I have to be careful about dairy. I just love this drink. I've actually made many combinations just from learning what flavors work together and experimenting.

Not only is music great when you need to cut loose after a long day at work, it has the unbelievable ability to transcend societal boundaries and actually make you feel better on a chemical level. When terrible things happen, listening to music will get your brain to release dopamine (the feel-good chemical) and cause your blood vessels to actually relax — among a myriad of other effects.

this might be a st8 up noob question but can Powerfull make you taller since it releases more HGH? and if it can do u need ot dose it higher to get those effects?
No... if you're under age, possibly.. but then consumed HGH is strongly refuted for underage ppl because it interferes with natural HGH , stunting growth!..if you're overage, once your epiphyseal plates have been ossified, HGH can't increase you vertically. too much HGH has even known to cause acromegaly (where facial bone grow and hands grow but spine and legs don't due to ossification).
It definitely won't make you taller, but it may leave you with nicer skin and nails.
just read the description now.. ok i guess it's a Natural HGH booster as oppose to a synthetic form of HGH. So it makes the pituitary gland release more GH.
I'm quite skeptical about Natural HGH boosters, but i guess if the OP is still in a growing phase and this product works, then he could grow taller....
anything for height gain...
I thought it was hGh in a box? It isn't? No? My head looks like Barry Bonds'.
Take powerfull, then stuff shoes with tissue, then measure. You WILL be taller, lol.

NetVibesThis portal feels similar to PageFlakes in many ways but I love their gallery. They also have a feature whre certain chrome elements only become visible when you hover over the web part.
XtraA New Zealand news portal. I especially liked the content rotator web part at the top of the middle row. Seems like a nice way to allow a user to browse through data.
I remember back, oooh, it must've been 8 or 9 years ago now, seeing an article on the WebMonkey site about websites with high cohesion. The article showed a picture of the internet which looked a bit like a galaxy. In the middle was a dense core and at the outer extremeties were thousands of dimly lit, isolated particles. What this image showed was that, at its core, the internet has a group of sites that are extremely well known and which receive a great deal of traffic. It also concluded that there was a great deal of cohesiveness between many of these sites - today we refer to this as Google-Juice :)
Our understanding of these relationships has grown since then and we now recognize these tightly clustered nodes as Social Networks. There's a great wikipedia entry for social networks which discusses different kinds of networks and how they have value to the individual.
Social networks are way to complex for a mere mortal such as myself to really understand but it's interesting nonetheless to sit back and try to work out where your own little node sits in terms of the vast internet ecosystem.
One thing's for sure though and that is that from now on I will be much more mindful of how linking to others affects the social fabric that I am bound to.

Tonight we had Francois coming over for dinner so I decided to head down to the local liquor store to grab some drinks (Of course I walked down - +7,000 steps!). Because we were having an Indian curry for dinner I decided to choose something that was full-bodied and what could be more full-bodied than a nicely aged Cab. Sav.?
I hadn't purchased Cab. Sav. for a while but, being wary of the effects of sediment and oxygen on the wine drinking experience I decided to do a little bit of internet research into the topic of how best to serve this alcoholic treat.
I stumbled across this interesting article which suggests that even experts are divided over the benefits and effects that decanting and breathing have on wine. What do you do? Do you decant?

The classic poem by Lewis Carroll:
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;All mimsy were the borogoves,And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought-- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy!O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy.

I've written many times about creating excellent teams and also why it's important to do so. Much of what I've written is about having a game plan and practicing the game plan so that you ultimately breed excellence. If you are a manager - a real manager, not just one of those clumsy middle-managers who have the Peter Principle to thank for their elevated position - then it's not really that hard to create a decent environment and to challenge team skills with appropriate drills.
NOTE The best way to insulate yourself from the Peter Principle is to implement a hiring policy which states that you only ever hire people that are smarter than you (thanks Mitch).
Having a well oiled, highly skilled team introduces its own problems though. What about staff retention? This is just as much a problem in sport as it is in business now that the stakes have grown so high. How do you ensure that your well-oiled, star striker doesn't jump ship and start playing for the opposition? Conversely, how do you continue to ensure that you are getting as much of the talent and focus of your star player in every situation.
It depends. When times are bad staff retention and work ethic is not as high an issue because, in reality there are really not that many superstars and we have Maslows good old Hierarchy of Needs to keep the others honest. However, when times are plentiful, sloppiness and player transfers abound - especially in IT. I suspect that Warren Buffett was right when he suggested that corporations be run by people who have some Skin in the Game.
If your key people don't have any skin in the game, how "in the game" are they really?

In a comment to a recent post, Prasad asks about Gadgets and Web Parts and wonders how they differ. He also asks whether I cover Gadgets in my upcoming book so I thought that I'd post the answer here.
Hi Prasad, Gadgets are considered as web parts but they are different from the standard ASP.NET web parts or Sharepoint web parts. From Sharepoint 2007 onwards, Sharepoint will be actually using ASP.NET web parts - so creating a web part using ASP.NET can be shared with your own custom websites and Sharepoint.
Live.com Gadgets use a different model and authoring them requires you to understand the Live.com Gadget API.
My book devotes a Chapter to explaining Live.com Gadets and takes the reader through writing and deploying their own Gadget using Atlas.

In this weeks AFR Magazine CBA CEO Ralph Norris was interviewed. Of particular interest to me - aside from how immaculately he was attired - was his favourite book:
Per Amazon:
Jared Diamond's Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed is the glass-half-empty follow-up to his Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs, and Steel. While Guns, Germs, and Steel explained the geographic and environmental reasons why some human populations have flourished, Collapse uses the same factors to examine why ancient societies, including the Anasazi of the American Southwest and the Viking colonies of Greenland, as well as modern ones such as Rwanda, have fallen apart. Not every collapse has an environmental origin, but an eco-meltdown is often the main catalyst, he argues, particularly when combined with society's response to (or disregard for) the coming disaster. Still, right from the outset of Collapse, the author makes clear that this is not a mere environmentalist's diatribe. He begins by setting the book's main question in the small communities of present-day Montana as they face a decline in living standards and a depletion of natural resources. Once-vital mines now leak toxins into the soil, while prion diseases infect some deer and elk and older hydroelectric dams have become decrepit. On all these issues, and particularly with the hot-button topic of logging and wildfires, Diamond writes with equanimity.

I'm not sure who is behind the RootPrompt blog but I just read this post and found myself a little baffled as to how they came up with that title:
Geeks declare open season on Microsoft
The basis for this post title is that a CIO from Massachusetts has called for all state staff to only save documents using standard formats - such as HTML, PDF, or ODF (not sure what that is) - so that they will work on anybody's computer.
Maybe what RootPrompt really meant to write was:
Business Leader recommends state staff upgrade to latest version of desktop publishing tools.
You see, Word IS standards compliant. When I create a document in Word and click "Save As" to save it, I can save in many formats including XML, HTML, or even plain Text (which as far as I know is also a standards compliant format :-)
Oh well, I guess that the heading of Geeks declaring an open season on Microsoft got me to read the article - even if it bears no resemblance to the underlying truth.

My all-time favorite Robert Frost poem:
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Yesterday I was in Melbourne for some meetings and the topic arose about what sort of structure to create to enable better communication. Conversations like this really hit the anarchic nerve in me because I'm pretty opposed to creating rules and structure just to help people communicate. We are already given everything that we need to be able to communicate when we are born: Brain, Mouth, Eyes, Ears, Fingers, and an email account.
Then, today a read a couple of posts from guys who clearly a very good at using these resources to communicate:
These are what I call "heartbeat posts". It lets me know that a person is alive and, if they are well written they also give me some idea about how things are going. In each of these three blog articles everything appears to be pretty healthy. From reading those posts I know that Grant is perfectly good at asking and getting instantaneous help, Paul is busy "plugging himself in" to community and challenging himself, and Mitch... well Mitch is Mitch :-)

The unbelievable thinking of the US Government to want to build a massive fence along the US/Mexico border, reminded me of a poem by Robert Frost:
Mending Wall
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,And spills the upper boulders in the sun,And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.The work of hunters is another thing:I have come after them and made repairWhere they have left not one stone on a stone,But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,No one has seen them made or heard them made,But at spring mending-time we find them there.I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;And on a day we meet to walk the lineAnd set the wall between us once again.We keep the wall between us as we go.To each the boulders that have fallen to each.And some are loaves and some so nearly ballsWe have to use a spell to make them balance:'Stay where you are until our backs are turned!'We wear our fingers rough with handling them.Oh, just another kind of out-door game,One on a side. It comes to little more:There where it is we do not need the wall:He is all pine and I am apple orchard.My apple trees will never get acrossAnd eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.He only says, 'Good fences make good neighbors'.Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonderIf I could put a notion in his head:'Why do they make good neighbors? Isn't itWhere there are cows?But here there are no cows.Before I built a wall I'd ask to knowWhat I was walling in or walling out,And to whom I was like to give offense.Something there is that doesn't love a wall,That wants it down.' I could say '.Elves' to him,But it's not elves exactly, and I'd ratherHe said it for himself. I see him thereBringing a stone grasped firmly by the topIn each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.He moves in darkness as it seems to meNot of woods only and the shade of trees.He will not go behind his father's saying,And he likes having thought of it so wellHe says again, "Good fences make good neighbors."

After 8 months of planning, writing, and fine-tuning my book has finally set sail for production! You can see the home page for the book here: http://www.manning.com/neimke/
If everything goes according to plan the book will be available in bookstores from mid-August although the PDF version should be available prior to that. The picture on the cover is of a Pirate and I chose it because my eldest son - Harrison (5) - is very much into pirates right now :-)

I was just catching up on some blog reading and came across this. I couldn't help but laugh about the comments in that post:
...I'd say we're buggered over a barrel
Heh, very colorful. So, for the twentieth time in my short time on this planet I'm faced with yet another possible extinction of humans. What's a boy to do? And crikey... how lucky am I to have survived all of these crisises? From nuclear armageddon through to modern ice ages and now this - bloody bird flu!
Because of these things there's a resilience that has formed. A part of me which says, "so what if we're all fucked". I mean, if we are, what can I do about it anyways. And besides, I have bigger problems to solve anyway - such as getting this bloody Remoting code to compile.
My only hope is that, when I do finally leave this place and head off into the big unknown that I can possibly leave in style - just as the dolphins did it - and not scampering around like a scared maniac.
So long. And thanks for all the Fish!

This drill requires good possesion skills by the forwards and also introduces a high level of competition between the backs and the forwards.
Attacker A1 hits a firm ball at Attacker A2 and they link up. Defender D1 cannot move until Attacker A2 makes his first pass. Attackers A1 and A2 link up with Attacker A3 and it becomes a 3 on 2.
posted on 5/22/2006 9:14:06 AM ( 0 Comments )
The point of this drill is to encourage good, firm, ball transfer between the three attackers to eliminate the 2 defenders.
The defender D1 passes to attacker A1 who then passes to attacker A2. When D1 makes his pass he runs around the top cone before joining defender D2. Attackers A1 and A2 head towards the goal and link up with Attacker A3.

Grant provides a tool to help convert your Squarespace exports to BlogML format:

Another story taken from the web involving BlogML:
posted on 5/22/2006 8:43:04 AM ( 0 Comments )
When I awoke this morning I had an email from Telligent informing me that the weblogs.asp.net will get an upgrade (presumably to version 2 of Community Server). In the email they mentioned that they would provide a couple of options for people who were looking to move their blogs away from that site. One option was that they would provide an Atom file of post content, the other was...
We'll also be providing support for a BlogML export which will work with other blog engines that support BlogML (SingleUserBlog, SubText, DNN, DasBlog).
This is pretty fantastic news! This means that a very large group of influential bloggers may be exposed to BlogML for the first time.

I've started taking a much more senior role both at work and also for the hockey club that I play for this year and it's interesting to draw the analogies between work, life, and play. One of the most interesting parallels that I've been focussed on lately is that of having a game plan. Consider how often you see talent-laden teams have a good run through the season only to fail during their finals campaign. Often I put this down to the losing team simply not having the right game plan to pull of the victories that count. I see the season as a time to perfect the game that you plan to execute when you make the finals and not simply a time for staying fit. In fact, I argue that, if you don't have a winning game plan ready for execution when it comes to be finals time that you might as well lay down your hat and wait for next year to come around.
So much do I value the importance of building a game plan that I'm more than happy to suffer a losing streak - even a season long one - if it means getting everything lined up. Achieving the right game plan requires a great deal of attention to detail. You must identify players strengths and weaknesses and put them into positions where they can compliment one another. You need to have a strong senior group who have the stamina and the focus to assist in ironing out weaknesses and looking for new strengths. You must have the right training drills that keep the players sharp and their skills honed - and the drills should be interesting and varied too so that they prepare the players for a wide variety of situations that they will encounter during a game.
Building a champion team requires all of this and it also requires time too. If you've been given the role of building a finals-winning capable team then you should set yourself goals.
The first goal should be to instill what I call "the game plan" upon the team. This means that the team will have formed habits that are deeply entrenched and these are the habits that form the basis for everything that sits above them. This includes things such as each player knowing and owning their position and also the fundamental way that the team communicates. It also includes some standard patterns of play - such as how to transfer play from one side of play to retreat and attempt an attack via the other flank. From having this game plan as a base the team gains a mental strength that comes from knowing that they will never be in unfamiliar territory and when they are under pressure they will know to fall back to the basic game plan at all times. The basic game plan should be constantly re-iterated to the team through drills, mentoring, and basic coaching means such as whiteboard sessions until it is so ingrained that the players would feel naked and clueless without it.
The second goal is to build the strength of the team. Even a team with a great game plan will come unstuck when all reserves of energy have been depleted. Fatigue can easily remove a players ability to execute their role effectively and so it is important that the team has enough reserves of fitness to last out the entire game.
Finally, when the team is fit and focussed you should introduce new thinking. This new thinking can come both from within the team as well as from external sources. In the last great team that I was associated with we brought in current and former Olympians to talk to us and to monitor our training sessions. Having these kinds of people assisting helped us to stay focussed in striving for excellence as they were able to work with us to iron out minor deficiencies and also because they served as a source of inspiration to us.
Almost everything that I've said in this post relates as equally to work as it does for hockey.

Alex Boyko - someone who works with Dare Obasanjo? - recently published this article on his blog about a tool which uses the API's that are exposed by Blogger and MSN Spaces to migrate his blog from one to the other. I noticed it because Dare had also blogged about it here.
This gets me excited because this is where I see that BlogML has a role to play. I'm not sure what "format" Alex's tool stores the content in when he exports it from Blogger but I'm hoping that I can get him to use BlogML (by using the free, publicly available BlogML API's) to store that content in BlogML format. He can then continue to use the MetaWeblogAPI to import from BlogML into MSN Spaces.
So maybe this means that a good, general tool might be something that did MetablogAPI <-> blogml conversions? The benefits of Alex using BlogML as his intermediate format is that it would "just work" for the implementations that already natively accept BlogML imports such as DasBlog, SubText, Community Server and a few others.

As Mitch mentioned in his post from the other day, I'm currently looking at ways to emulate a daily scrum meeting in our virtual environment. First a thing about SCRUM... SCRUM is designed to encourage projects to move ahead in an unhindered manner and this means:
The daily meeting is an important element of SCRUM as it allows for the team to get together and discuss issues and cross-pollinate ideas. It's also a sanity check and therefore involves two important questions:
Being virtual is something that we take great pride in at Readify and so creating solutions that solve virtual collaboration problems is very much the space we enjoy playing in. I hope to talk more about how our virtual SCRUM meetings evolve and to give some insight into the methodology, tools, and various other things that we use to enable engaging, meaningful virtual scrum meetings.
NOTE: Maybe now that I've discovered TechTalkBlogs I'll be directed by the number of Thumbs-Up votes that this post gets when I decide how much emphasis to place on cranking out future posts on this topic :-)

This week I've seen two new BlogML export/import conversions that have both gone pretty painlessly from what I can tell. First Grant wrote about how he used the "Export to XML" feature in Squarespace and an XSLT to transform his Squarespace blog to BlogML. Once he had the BlogML of his content, Grant grabbed an existing BlogML importer for Community Server and imported his content straight into there.
That's Squarespace to Community Server in the push of a button. Read about how Grant migrated his content here:
Apparently Grant's exploits made some waves in the CS circles so hopefully this will lead to people like CS and DasBlog to sit up and think about having tighter integration with BlogML.
Next, Martin Granell needed to migrate his blog from a rusty old version of .Text into a shiny new SUB install. No worries, there was already a .Text BlogML implementation on the BlogML site which Martin grabbed and polished up a bit into a console applicaiton. He ran the BlogML exporter over his .Text blog and imported the content straight into SUB.
That's .Text to SUB in the push of a button. "IJW" was Martins comment :-) View Martin's new blog here:
I'll get Martin's console app up online tomorrow.
In the meantime I'm really hoping that I'll find some time to work on BlogML to produce a formal primer for the format and to change the BlogML website so that it more clearly displays a list of trusted, existing providers for BlogML.

Death March is a term used to define a project that is headed for failure. We've all been/are on them so there's no secrets. Often it's easy to look back at a project and talk about it in terms of being a Death March or to look at another project and label it a Death March too. But what about the developer who is on a project and who has "bought in" to the whole idea that their project serves some meaningful purpose, don't ya just feel for that guy? In his recent blog post, Joseph sheds some light as to what's going through the mind of that Lemming Developer. Read it here:

I try to live my life by a few simple rules and after reading this article I thought that it might be time to start sharing them. I'll start with rule #12:
Rule #12: Don't build your house on the side of a volcano. Volcano's are dangerous and are known to spew extremely hot substances from their mountaintops.
But maybe writing all of this robotic C# data access code has just turned me into a boring conservative. Take local Edi's perspective on events:
"Edi, a 30-year-old villager, said he would stay unless he received a clear signal from the maintain's spirits..."
Hrmm, that doesn't sound too bad then. Edi then goes on to tell us:
"People around here believe that if Merapi is going to explode there will be a sign, a magical sign," he said, sitting on a mat sipping coffee. "Either it comes in a dream, or in the form of a hallucination."
Yes, or a million gallons of steaming hot lava pouring in through your front door. Methinks that Edi needs to look up in the sky, because apparently there are some tell-tale signs already, as the article points out:
"Throughout the day Saturday, volcanic tremors shook the ground, some strong enough to send people running in fear. After nightfall, fiery magma from the volcano's cauldron lit up the bottoms of clouds above the nearly 9,700-foot peak, and cascades of bright red stones tumbled down the mountainside."
NOTE: It appears that USA Today did a significant re-write on their article in which they removed all mention of local Edi.

When we get an applicant for a tech role at Readify we put them through a tech interview. Basically the tech interview involves having a phone discussion with a Senior consultant so that we can ascertain the technical savvy of the applicant. We generally rotate the tech interviews among a few of us and it will depend on who you interviews you as to the type of questions that you get.
One of the questions that I always ask is for the applicant to tell me about their favorite personal project that they have going right now. It's a bit of a loaded question I suppose because of how it assumes that they do have a personal project - but that's almost my point. Having a personal project (or more than one) is a trait that is shared by every developer that I respect and so I rate it rather highly.

I just read Paul's and Tim's articles about Live.com and have to say that I certainly agree with many of the things that were said. I think that Live.com suffers from the same thing that most Microsoft offerings suffer from and that is that too much of the marketing glitz gets applied. A first look a the Live.com portal gives you a real dose of eye-candy as opposed to the Google portal which is bare-bones in comparison. But when you actually use both of these portals as your daily base you very quickly begin to appreciate the simple elegance of the Google portal - especially when connecting via a mobile device!
Paul's comments run deeper than a simple dislike of Live.com, he actually opines that it's the Atlas'ness of the site that is annoying. This is interesting to me because one of the factors that I took into account when I decided to stop selling my development services (for the time being at least) was my geniune lethargy about some of these cutting edge technologies that are coming out.
Go read both Paul and Tim's articles and make up your own mind about the Live.com, Atlas, and Microsoft in general but here's my wrap on all of this... someone needs to go and tell those lovely folks Microsoft about the benefits of keeping things simple.

The Google Personalized Home Page and Google Reader totally rock! To use Google them you must first create a GMail account and then sign in to the Google.com home page to start personalizing it to your own liking. Unlike Live.com, Google have gone for the kind of simple elegance that has made Google a market leader in web technology. One of the great recent additions to the portal has been the tight integration between it and the Google Reader (click here to learn about Google Reader).
Today I noticed another really cool thing about Google Reader. Click on this button to see it for yourself (and then return to the article):
Notice that, by adding that link to your blog you can take users to a page that allows them to add your blog to either their default portal view or to your subscriptions.
Google Reader impresses me and I'm sure that as soon as Google iron out a few bugs in their UI that it is going to gain a very important slice of the feed subscription market. I'm not sure whether Google Reader plan to open up an API to access feed stores but I'll be watching this space with a great deal of interest.

When I spoke about UAP at Code Camp recently I stood up and told the people there to "work it out" as opposed to sitting around and complaining about it. And I believe in that, however, in reality I fully accept that it's not that easy. I forget who it was who mentioned this to me - probably Mitch or Rock - but it was very insightful; they said that under UAP it will start to become very obvious which product groups at Microsoft run as administrator on their own desktop because it's those products that will break and crumble in Vista.
Based on what I've seen so far I'm guessing either the ASP.NET team or the SQL Server team must be running as Administrator because I don't know of anyone on the planet who has managed to get the auto-created SQL Server User Instance databases to be auto-created when developing in Visual Studio to work. At least I could work around the User Instance stuff by working off of a central SQL Server. Not sure how to get around this little goof by the MSN team:

I awoke this morning to the news that the two Aussie miners - Todd Russell and Brant Webb - who have been trapped for 14 days in a mine 1km underground in Beaconsfield, Tasmania have been released. This is one of those unbelievable moments where an entire nation is bonded as one. Congratulations go out to the workmates of Todd Russell and Brant Webb who worked tirelessly and under incredible physical strain for the entire 14 days to free them.
Todd, Brant were trapped in the mine after a rockfall which was triggered by earth tremors on Anzac Day.
A third miner - Larry Knight - was also trapped below but did not survive.

As Mitch writes, we are nearly always hiring. Readify is always looking for technical specialists who enjoy working with .NET and other related technologies. But as Mitch says, the hiring process is often more of a long conversation than a short, sharp process. Because of this it's important that we always have a pipeline of people that we are talking to who are potential Readify material. If you ever feel that Readify is the type of company that you would like to work for and you are interested in discussing what it's like to work at Readify or, you'd simply like to put yourself on our radar, then drop Mitch an email from the link on his blog post:

It's official. Tonight I fly to Melbourne to start the handover process for my new role. It's still with Readify of course, but I'll no longer be a tecchie consultant resource. Yup, that's right - I'm an overhead! :-)
My new role will see me looking after resourcing and scheduling and also managing internal projects. This is a very exciting move for me as it allows me to combine my inner-Accountant with my outer tecchie to hopefully do some interesting things around process automation.
Some of my first tasks will be to help get our CRM implementation up and running and also to define some new internal processes. I'll probably also start to take the reigns of the resource scheduling this week so, if you see any Readifiarians wandering around the streets looking lost, you'll know that I've probably broken something :-)

Over the past 12 months I've probably rebuilt my machine at least 6 or 7 times - so I'm getting pretty good at it. The good thing about doing a rebuild is that it's a fairly static set of tasks that you have to perform each time; so the more you do it, the better you get at re-doing it. But you still seem to end up losing stuff each time no matter how regimented your routine is. So now I've decided that, as much as possible that I'll use the web as my central filesystem and so hopefully, rebuilding will become even easier.
Up until now I've used the following online storage facilities to store my stuff:
Music: ???Source Code: ???Photo's: FlickrMy Documents - Sharepoint My Site (synch'd from Groove)
As you can see, I've made some inroads but am still looking for a good solution for managing my music and source code from the web.
One of minor thing's that has pained me about doing a re-build is making sure that I export my OPML file and then I have to set it up again by downloading an aggregator and importing my OPML file after the re-build. This might sound like a small task - but it all adds time to the total effort of doing a re-build. After working with Grant this week I was introduced to a great solution for managing my aggregator from the web - Google Reader (Beta).
My favorite thing about Google Reader is that they have provided a web part so that I can view new entries to my feeds from my home portal (Personalized Google Home). Here is a screenshot of my Google Reader web part displayed on the home page of my portal:
This is why I love portals and web parts. Now I will always be connected my aggregator and no longer will I need to migrate my aggregated stuff when performing rebuilds in the future!
What is your favorite online storage story?

You are creating a blogging application where users each have a blog. Blogs are clustered into categories of blogs. A user can have roles in more than 1 blog.
Category A Blog A User 1 ** Blog B User 2Category B Blog C User 1 ** Blog D User 3 ** Note that User 1 has 2 blogs.
At runtime you want to be able to determine the following information about a user:
There's a complex issue here dealing with row-level security on data and, at runtime, being able to programmatically determine the permissions at that level. At runtime, you want to have code which looks similar to this to determine whether to grant or deny access to a particular item:
if( PermissionAPI.UserCanEdit( blogId ) ) { // access granted }
The question here is "where to hang your permission data so that you have access to it at runtime".
So, is there anything baked into the Roles API that you can override so that it handles not only an array of string roleNames but also complex type permissions or, is the intended usage in this scenario to implement your own custom MembershipUser class to add the rights to?
A workaround for using the Roles API by dynamically creating roles
The Roles API in ASP.NET 2.0 works with a string[] of roles. For example, John Doe might have the following roles: "Administrator", "Editor", etc…
But, what if John has different roles on a per category or per group basis? Like, John is an "Administrator" in Group A but is only an "Editor" in Group B.
The quick-n-dirty way around this might be to dynamically create custom role strings at the time that you are managing that users permissions. In the previous example, you might dynamically create the following 2 role strings:
GroupA$Administrator GroupB$Editor
Using this method would allow you to leverage the built in Roles.IsUserInRole(roleName) API logic to determine whether access should be denied or granted.
Sample implementation code for this method:
static bool UserCanEditBlog( blogId ) { return (Roles.IsUserInRole( blogId.ToString() + "$Editor" ) || Roles.IsUserInRole( blogId.ToString() + "$Administrator" ) ; }
static bool UserCanEditBlog( blogId ) {
return (Roles.IsUserInRole( blogId.ToString() + "$Editor" ) || Roles.IsUserInRole( blogId.ToString() + "$Administrator" ) ;
Another method might be to extend the current user so that the permissions can be queried directly via the current Identity. To do this you may have to create a custom MembershipProvider which will allow you to return custom MembershipUsers with the custom permission data tagged as an array of permissions to that user.
Using the Membership API to extend the user
// Create a class for the new custom user and extend it with our custom permission dataclass BlogUser : MembershipUser { // this is a convenience thing because the SqlMembershipProvider uses MembershipUsers .ctor( MembershipUser baseUser ) // the new custom property List<BlogPermissions> Permissions} // override each method to populate Permissions on the BlogUser classclass BlogSqlMembershipProvider : SqlMembershipProvider { public override MembershipUser CreateUser() { MembershipUser baseUser = base.CreateUser(...) ; // do stuff to get permission details BlogPermission[] perms = GetBlogPermissions() ; BlogMembershipUser blogUser = new BlogMembershipUser( baseUser ) ; blogUser.Permissions = perms; return blogUser ; } }
// Create a class for the new custom user and extend it with our custom permission dataclass BlogUser : MembershipUser {
// this is a convenience thing because the SqlMembershipProvider uses MembershipUsers .ctor( MembershipUser baseUser )
// the new custom property List<BlogPermissions> Permissions}
// override each method to populate Permissions on the BlogUser classclass BlogSqlMembershipProvider : SqlMembershipProvider {
public override MembershipUser CreateUser() {
MembershipUser baseUser = base.CreateUser(...) ;
// do stuff to get permission details BlogPermission[] perms = GetBlogPermissions() ; BlogMembershipUser blogUser = new BlogMembershipUser( baseUser ) ; blogUser.Permissions = perms; return blogUser ; } }
Where BlogPermissions looks like this:
class BlogPermission { int BlogId string[] Roles}
static bool UserCanEditBlog( blogId ) { BlogPermission perm = null ; List<BlogPermissions> perms = ((BlogUser)User).Permissions ; for( int i=0; i< perms.Count; i++ ) { if( perms[i].BlogId = blogId ) { return perms[i].Roles.Contains("Editor") ; } } return false ;}
BlogPermission perm = null ; List<BlogPermissions> perms = ((BlogUser)User).Permissions ;
for( int i=0; i< perms.Count; i++ ) {
if( perms[i].BlogId = blogId ) {
return perms[i].Roles.Contains("Editor") ; } }
return false ;}
There's a small working demo of extending the MembershipUser through inheritance on my ProjectDistributor workspace: http://projectdistributor.net/Projects/Project.aspx?projectId=73

Banshee's Veil is a legendary item in League of Legends.[1]
Banshee's Veil 950 gold | ||||||||||||
400 gold |
Cost Analysis
- 450 health = 1200g
- 55 magic resist = 1100g
- Total Gold Value = 2288g
Gold Value (with Passive buff)
- 45 health regeneration = 1620g
Complete Combined Gold Value: 3920g
Gold Efficiency
- Banshee's Veil is gold efficient when its healing buff is active. Otherwise, the spell shield must have at least a value of 450g.
Main article: Crowd control
- Banshee's Veil is a strong item against magic damage but is most valued for its ability to prevent crowd control or counter poke damage. As such it is highly recommended to build Banshee's Veil when you are being focused by crowd control effects, or when the enemy has initiation or pulling abilities like Enchanted Crystal Arrow and Rocket Grab. Combined with Guardian Angel, Banshee's Veil will make you very resilient to both magic and physical damage.
- During the late game, Banshee's Veil is a great addition for AD carries because it can block important crowd control abilities (e.g. Impale, Bandage Toss, Rocket Grab), or in other words, it can prevent the enemy from initiating on you.
- If Banshee's Veil is up and you activate Spell Shield or Shroud of Darkness, both shields will pop when hit by an ability. This is intended.[2]
- Banshee's Veil's passive will block the vision-based components of Nocturne's Paranoia or Twisted Fate's Destiny.
- Banshee's Veil can negate effects from active items such as Deathfire Grasp and Hextech Gunblade.
- Banshee's Veil does not negate summoner spells Ignite and Exhaust.
- Banshee's Veil will not block damage from persistent AoE spells such as: Anivia's Glacial Storm or Nasus's Spirit Fire.
- Banshee's Veil will not block passive damage over time effects from abilities such as Brand's Blaze or Gangplank's Grog Soaked Blade.
- Banshee's Veil's passive carries over to clones, like Shaco's Hallucinate or Mordekaiser's Children of the Grave.
- Banshee's Veil's Dominion counterpart is Odyn's Veil.
- Some of Baron Nashor's abilities will pop the shield.
Patch History
- Recipe changed: Spectre's Cowl + Ruby Crystal + 875g = 2750g (total cost increased from 2520g)
- Health increased to 450 from 400.
- Magic resist increased to 55 from 45.
- Mana reduced to 0 from 300.
- New Unique Passive: Grants +45 health regen per 5 seconds for up to 10 seconds after taking damage from an enemy champion or when the spell shield breaks.
- Item cost decreased to 2520g from 2610g.
- Item cost increased to 2610g from 2500g.
- Combine cost increased to 600g from 490g.
- Health increased to 400 from 300.
- Item cost reduced to 2500g from 2715g.
- Combine cost reduced to 490g from 650g.
- Mana reduced to 300 from 375.
- Health reduced to 300 from 375.
- Magic resist reduced to 45 from 50.
- Passive cooldown changed to 25 seconds after not taking damage from champions instead of a flat 45 seconds.
- Now displays its cooldown on the item itself rather than with a buff.
- Shield refresh time increased to 45 seconds from 30.
- Health reduced to 375 from 450.
- Mana reduced to 375 from 400.
- Magic resistance reduced to 50 from 57.
- Will now only proc on cloned units if it was ready to activate when the clone was created. In other words, clones now sync their Banshee's Veil states to the main champion when created.
- Passive cooldown increased to 30 from 25.
- Recipe changed: Now requires Negatron Cloak.
- Fixed a bug where certain item effects would persist past selling the item.

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands, feet and ears that correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body.
Through application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and promotes the natural function of the related areas of the body.
In ancient times we stimulated reflexes naturally by walking barefoot over rocks, stones and rough ground, or by using our hands more often to climb, build or work. In today's modern world we have lost much of nature's way of maintaining a balanced and healthy equilibrium. Reflexology helps to restore this balance and promote natural health and vitality.
Although Reflexology does not diagnose or treat specific ailments by definition, it has proven highly successful over time to relieve symptoms or ease pain or discomfort that have manifested themselves physically in the body - either as a result of stress, trauma or disease.
Origins of Reflexology.
Reflexology has been practiced for thousands of years in such places as India, China and Egypt. An ancient Egyptian wall painting of the 6th Dynasty (approx.2400 B.C.) found at Saqqara in the tomb of Ankhmahor, an ancient Egyptian physician, depicts two men working on the feet and hands of two other men.
Reflexology has been used as a healing therapy by the North American native people for generations, and was thought to have been passed down by the Inca civilization.
Recent popularity of Reflexology.
Reflexology has enjoyed a lot of popularity recently for several reasons. Firstly, today we are exposed to high levels of stress in our jobs, our homes and travels. Stress is without a doubt one of the main causes of physical and mental pain and suffering, as well as contributing to making symptoms of other diseases or conditions much worse. Reflexology is a great stress reducer. Secondly, even though many people are trying to eat organic or healthy foods, even those 'healthy' foods grown today are grown in soil conditions that are greatly depleted in basic minerals and nutrients compared to the days of our grandparents. This means that even though people are trying to improve their diet, it is not easy to do. This lack of minerals combined with stress puts more pressure on our immune system and health. Reflexology works to allow the body to work to heal itself and normalize functions. Thirdly, people are turning more and more to alternative or natural health care which focuses on pro-active maintenance and holistic or entire body well-being. Traditional 'western' medicine tends to focus on reactive and specific treatment of disease or symptoms. Reflexology offers an all natural therapy which does not require anything other than gentle manipulation to stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms to normalize and heal. It is relatively easy to learn, and is quickly becoming one of the most popular methods of natural therapy primarily due to the enthusiasm of those who have found and realized the benefits.

- Which is Safer: Tap or Bottled Water?
by HG.org
Each year, millions of Americans consume billions of gallons of water. The boom in the bottled water industry was fueled, in part, by beliefs that bottled water was cleaner and more heavily regulated than tap water. But then a backlash by others in the media showed that much bottle water was simply tap water in a bottle. So, is one form of water more heavily regulated and safer than the other?

Shale formations are an invaluable resource when it comes to natural gas and oil. The side effects of drilling in these shale deposits, however, can be costly. Shale is a type of rock which is made out of mud, clay, and fragments of other minerals. Shale is characterized by the thin layers make up the rock, meaning it can easily splinter and flake.
- Environmental Laws and How They Can Protect You and Your Property
Environment laws protect our natural resources by regulating businesses that have the potential to impact them. Due to the importance of these laws, the Environmental Protection Agency was formed as a federal agency whose main task is to control and decrease pollution by researching potential hazards, monitoring companies that may cause environmental harm, setting standards of practice to minimize environmental impact and enforcing punishments for those who violate environmental regulations.
- Does California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard Discriminate Against Fuel Producers in Other States?
As part of their efforts to prevent the injurious consequences of high greenhouse gas emissions, legislators in California passed regulations requiring producers, refiners, and importers of diesel and gasoline to reduce their carbon footprint by 10 percent over a decade. In late December, a federal judge issued an injunction preventing California from enforcing its rules on the grounds that California's regulations were in violation of the Commerce Clause in the United States Constitution.

Texas fracking disclosure law goes into effect February 1, 2012.

Things I liked:These are a great value! They shoot ALMOST as well as Crosman Premier Light domes in my guns. I buy these for my son to shoot, and they shoot just fine in any gun that we've tried them in. You can't go wrong with these for general shooting. What others should know:They don't fit the chamber quite as consistently as the Premiers in the box, but they still shoot well. I've tried them in an RWS 34, a TX200, and a Daisy 880. Things I liked:This is a hard hitting round that will deliver a deadly strike to game from Pigeon to Coons ! Remember that shot placement is critical in all hunting Keith Stambaugh founder of the School of Woodlore and commun cents . Things I liked:Good product, works fine in my air rifles and air pistol in .177cal. Things I would have changed:Not a thing. What others should know:Been using this brand/type of pellet for some time now. Never had a pellet related problem. Consistency and uniformity are good, and accuracy has been good. I am not a competition shooter, so I am not as picky as some shooters might be, but this pellet serves my needs fine - plinking, fun target shooting and small varmint control. They are available anywhere I find air gun supplies. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers
