Few good things: the room was clean and had a flat screen TV; the continental breakfast was good (be sure to look in the other room. we didn't realize there was hot breakfast until after we ate).
I really disliked the location. Almost half of businesses were out of business and their trash left in the windows. The food was sub-par. There were numerous bums walking around. It is NOT close to the ocean. VERY industrial; not a vacation place.The hotel's rooms had a faint smell. The parking was full if you came back after sunset. There were 3 bolts on the door and I think it's because there were so many bums in the area! If I was alone (as a female) I would not want to walk around alone. I would stay at another Best Western, but this location- compared to all the wonderful sea towns along the coast- is nothing I would recommend.

The room was updated and surface clean but the dusty/musty smell was overwhelming. Breakfast was great.
The dusty/musty smell in this room was overwhelming. For the price I paid I was disappointed.You could tell that it had been updated and the room was clean, bed comfortable. But my mom who was staying with us had to sleep in the car due to the overwhelming dusty smell in the room. Her and I both mentioned it to the front desk but the only response was that the carpets had been recently replaced. It could've been the close proximity to the ocean but I have never had to cover my head with the sheets in order to just go to sleep. I promise I'm not a picky person and only expect clean sheets and a clean space. I can even deal with older spaces but I can't recommend this hotel to anyone. I couldn't wait to get out of there and move on to the next location.

Creighton men win big
CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Gregory Echenique and Doug McDermott had double-doubles as Creighton snapped a two-game losing streak with a decisive 81-51 victory at Southern Illinois on Sunday night. The victory was CU's 10th in a row over the Salukis, and fifth consecutive at SIU Arena.
Creighton improved to 18-3 on the year and reaches the midway point of Valley play with a 7-2 league mark. Southern Illinois dropped to 8-12 and is 1-8 in MVC play.
The win was the 350th in Greg McDermott's head coaching career, and he's just the sixth man to win 70 or more games in his first three seasons at an MVC school.
Echenique had his highest-scoring game since early January and finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds. McDermott had 21 points and 10 rebounds on 9-for-13 shooting.
Desmar Jackson SIU scored the game's first four points before Creighton answered with the next nine points. Creighton continued its surge, making eight of its first 10 attempts while building a 20-12 lead.
The Jays continued to score with regularity, building a lead as large as 43-22 before settling for a 43-25 halftime edge. The Jays shot 73.9 percent in the first half, paced by 7-of-8 marksmanship from McDermott, who had 16 points by the break. Echenique added eight points and eight rebounds by the break. SIU was paced by 12 points at half from Jackson, but he did not score in the final 8:30 of the period.
Creighton scored the first nine points of the second half and was never seriously threatened after the break.
In addition to the double-doubles from McDermott (21/10) and Echenique (12/11), Grant Gibbs (13), Jahenns Manigat (12) and Ethan Wragge (12) combined to give CU five men in double-figures for the first time all season.
The Jays shot 63.0 percent for the game, making 12-of-20 three-pointers. CU also outworked the MVC's smallest team on the glass, 39-19.
SIU was paced by 16 points from Jackson. The Salukis shot 37.0 percent for the night but did claim 12 steals while forcing 17 CU turnovers. Josh Swan had five steals while Jackson added four.
Creighton returns home on Wednesday for a 7:05 pm game vs. Missouri State.

Lack of planning rules and the housing bubble led to dead subdivisions plaguing the West, especially in Teton County, Idaho, where locals are trying to deal with the impacts of the real estate bust, yet still arguing if planning even works.
Ranchers, hunters and wildlife advocates should work together to save Wyoming's open landscapes from development.
As the West's population and real estate boom stumble to a halt, the once fast-growing Southwest is filled with foreclosed homes and undeveloped lots.
The recession has afforded a unique opportunity for land trusts to protect more of the West's private open land through direct acquisitions and, increasingly, conservation easements.

ST. LOUIS -- Jarrod Dyson seemed to have eyes in the back of his head when he raced home with the game-ending run in Thursday night's 4-3 victory over the Brewers, the Royals' second straight walk-off win.
"I didn't know what was going on. I was running with my head up and I saw 'em throwing the ball in, and I kind of stopped at third," Dyson said. "But when I saw them relay the ball to second, I turned around and faced the field and shuffle-shuffled, and he bobbled it, and I was able to get to home plate," Dyson said.
Second baseman Rickie Weeks' bobble gave Dyson the inspiration he needed to gamble a bit.
"I was basically taking a chance right there. We had already tied it up, so that was a perfect opportunity to try to win it. Once he bobbled it, what's the worst that could happen? We go back out on the field," Dyson said. "If we're down one I don't know if I'd make that play or not. That's a big chance you take right there."
But he scooted in safely as Weeks' throw sailed wildly.
Dyson laughed as he recalled the big moment, and repeated his ungrammatical if apropos personal slogan: "That's what speed do."
Beltran facing Royals for first time
ST. LOUIS -- Strange thing. With all the Interleague Play that's been going on, Carlos Beltran spent several years in the National League without ever playing against his original team, the Royals.
"It's incredible, 6 1/2 years in New York, and it never happened," Beltran said.
That situation was remedied on Friday night when Beltran was in the Cardinals' lineup in center field for the opener of the I-70 Series at Busch Stadium. Beltran was traded by the Royals to the Astros on June 24, 2004, then signed with the Mets the next year. He spent the last part of 2011 with the Giants, and signed with the Cardinals in December.
"It's good to play against a team that you began your career with. I have good memories of Kansas City. I played 6 1/2 years with them, and it was a good beginning for me," Beltran said.
"We had good young players, but they were never able to keep us together. But I have good memories. I won my Rookie of the Year and I had my first good year in baseball in Kansas City, and I had the opportunity to meet good people there."
Beltran was back in the Cardinals' lineup after missing Thursday night's game with a stomach ailment. He had checked into a hospital after playing the previous night's game.
"I spent like nine hours in the hospital getting some fluids in me and trying to find out what I was having, and, thank God, it was nothing bad," Beltran said. "I had a virus, but [it] wasn't like anything major, so they let me go, and when I came to the ballpark, [manager Mike Matheny] told me he wanted me to take some time off. So I went to the batting cage and got ready, and was ready to pinch-hit later in the game."
He wasn't needed in a 5-3 win over the White Sox, and he felt much better on Friday.
"You always worry about appendicitis, and that's always something you don't want to go through -- surgery. I had [surgery] last year. Matt Holliday went through [an emergency appendectomy] and he only missed one week, but at the same time, you worry about that," he said.
Beltran hasn't had many worries this season. He went into Friday night's game leading the NL with 19 home runs and was third with 47 RBIs. His right knee, often troublesome in the past, has held up well.
Beltran has come a long way from his Kansas City years.
"I'm older, for sure," he said with a grin. "But I've been blessed by being able to play this game for so long. This is my 14th year in the big leagues, and every step of the way has been great. There have been a lot of ups and downs in my career, but at the end of the day, I'm happy to be where I am and I look forward to staying healthy and continuing to play well."
His first game against his old team turned out to be a 3-2 loss for the Cardinals, but Beltran achieved a personal milestone.
Beltran singled to right in the second inning off Vin Mazzaro, then stole the 300th base of his career. That made him the first switch-hitter in MLB history to have 300 steals and 300 home runs (his homer count is 321). Odd to have it happen against the team for which he got his first stolen base on Sept. 17, 1998, against the White Sox. He had 164 stolen bases in a Kansas City uniform.
"It is crazy, but at the same time, things happen for a reason. So I can say it was good to play them today, even though we lost," he said.
He's also the eighth player to hit 300 homers with 300 steals, joining Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Alex Rodriguez, Andre Dawson, Bobby Bonds, Reggie Sanders and Steve Finley.
The Frenchy Quarter adjusts without Frenchy
ST. LOUIS -- Being ejected in the second inning of Thursday night's game at least afforded some light moments for Royals right fielder Jeff Francoeur.
He was tossed on Frenchy Quarter Thursday, when fans can buy special tickets to get a seat, a T-shirt and Mardi Gras beads to cheer him on. He was watching the game later when the TV cameras showed a sign held by a female fan.
"The sign said: 'All I want for my birthday is a Jeff Francoeur-signed baseball,'" Francoeur said with a smile. "And when I got thrown out, about the fourth inning they showed her sign, and she had Jeff Francoeur crossed out and had 'a Mitch Maier-signed baseball.' "
Maier was his replacement in right field.
Francoeur had an idea for a disclaimer to be printed on tickets sold at future Frenchy Quarter Thursdays.
"What they should put on the ticket next time is, 'Not guaranteed to be here the whole game,'" Francoeur said.

In other news, I am redoing Nemesis Dress style because they are so tiny. They are miniscule and you guys deserve better. However, Nemesis needs to be redone in a lot of them, too, because they are the old SMS size of 200x300 and are really small. I just gotta remember not to make them huge for my screen which is as tall as some are wide.
That's the news for this week, check back later for more updates.

Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbines
ANSYS ASAS is increasingly used in the design and certification process of offshore wind turbines (OWTs). In addition, the technology has been used over the last four decades in the oil and gas industry to analyze a large variety of offshore structures. The software's extensive and well-proven set of FEA capabilities enable comprehensive and reliable design and certification. In particular, ANSYS ASAS is used to simulate the overall OWT system: A number of effects can be analyzed simultaneously, including wave loads (from regular and irregular sea states and currents), elastic behavior of the support structure (ranging from monopiles to jackets), soil characteristics of the local sea bed, and loads from turbulent wind fields and turbine control systems when coupled with specialized wind programs such as Flex5, ADCoS and FAST. Hundreds of load cases can be easily set up, as required, and from these cases ANSYS ASAS can derive probabilistic-based rainflow-counting fatigue data, such as fatigue life, usage factors, damage per wave and stress histograms.

PHILADELPHIA -- On Friday afternoon, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was asked what freshly called up Ryan Jackson would provide his team. Matheny made it clear that this wasn't a "courtesy" and that the young infielder would be called on to contribute almost immediately.
On Saturday, true to his word, Matheny inserted Jackson -- ranked No. 17 among the organization's prospects by MLB.com -- into the lineup against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Jackson was slotted at second base and hit eighth against Phillies left-handed starter Cliff Lee for a Cardinals team that had just four hits in each of its previous three games.
"He's been doing a nice job against lefties this year," Matheny said. "Give [Daniel Descalso] a day, because we've been riding him pretty hard. Give him a chance to see what he can do. We've been talking to him through yesterday and today about enjoying it and not making more of it than it is. It's still the same game."
With Triple-A Memphis this season, Jackson hit .310 (44-for-142) with five home runs and 15 RBIs. Add in the fact that Jake Westbrook is a ground-ball pitcher and the young infielder -- who has played the majority of the season at short -- will be thrown into the fire.
"He's going to get some action on the left side of the infield," Matheny said. "There has never been much question defensively what he can do. It also gives him a better chance hitting against a lefty, which he has better numbers against throughout his career."
Cards' rotation will remain in turn after off-day
PHILADELPHIA -- After some thought, despite a five-game stretch in which Adam Wainwright has gone 3-1 with a 1.73 ERA in 36 1/3 innings pitched, the Cardinals have decided to stick with their normal rotation and exploit a day off on Monday.
"We're going to stay with the rotation the way it is," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Obviously, any time you are in the dog days and you can get your guys some rest, it makes sense. There are a couple of guys in our rotation we've been concerned about stacking too much on them, so the day off helps."
There is also the impending return of Jaime Garcia, who will make one more rehab start before his scheduled return on Aug. 19 against Pittsburgh. Garcia looked good in his latest rehab start despite allowing five runs in six innings. In that effort, he threw just 75 pitches and he certainly could have been aided by a break or two that went his way.
"If we were to bump everybody up, we'd be using [Garcia] on short rest in his first start," Matheny said. "So that doesn't work out to well. This keeps him on his regular day as well."
Furcal's value to Cards goes beyond offense
PHILADELPHIA -- It's no secret that Rafael Furcal has been battling through injuries for the better part of his 2012 campaign. After he hit .319 over the first 54 games of the season with a .816 OPS, the veteran shortstop has fallen off at the plate and entered Saturday's game hitting .265 on the year.
That said, the Cardinals lean on Furcal heavily for his leadership and defense, neither of which has waned despite his offensive struggles.
"He's done such a nice job playing a solid, solid shortstop, and we'll take what we can offensively," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "You look at this lineup, if you are looking at shortstop for all of the offensive production, you're looking in the wrong spot. If he keeps doing what he's been doing and as bad as his back has felt, he hasn't shown it in his range or consistency in the field, and that's where we really need him the most."

The Colorado Buffaloes did everything but win Thursday night, playing 12th-ranked Oklahoma State right down to the wire before losing, 31-28.
But -- and with Hawk's teams, that has too often been the case in the last four years -- the Buffs made just enough mistakes down the stretch to let the game slip away.
The miscues came from players and coaches.
A field goal try that bounced off the upright. An unsuccessful bid to convert fourth-and-short on CU's next possession instead of attempting another long field goal that would have given CU a seven-point cushion. A silly personal foul penalty on OSU's ensuing drive, followed almost immediately by a 47-yard touchdown pass to a painfully wide-open running back.
And finally, one last scoring drive from the Cowboys for the winning touchdown, a drive kept alive by two completions on third-and-long. A stop on either play would have shifted momentum back in the Buffs' favor. But ...
But, somehow, as the fourth quarter wore on, we all knew how the story would end.
No doubt, a victory Thursday night would have made athletic director Mike Bohn's decision even more difficult. It would have put significantly more weight on next week's season finale against rival Nebraska.
Today, however, the equation remains virtually the same as it was 24 hours ago. A head coach in his fourth season with twice as many losses as victories to his credit and a 3-8 record heading intothe last game of the year. A young team with talent and promise, but one that has been unable to produce anything remotely resembling consistency as the program lurches toward its fourth consecutive losing season.
As a friend of mine remarked after Thursday night's game, the Buffs played valiantly. They played with heart — but they did not play (or coach) smart.
Had the Buffs picked up a couple more wins somewhere along the line this season, Thursday night's game might have been seen through rosier lenses.
But today, a decision to retain Hawkins for another season would be a gamble that the mistakes and stumbles that became the calling card of this year's team could somehow be eliminated.
That's a gamble I'm not convinced CU's administrators are willing to make — even if making a change is a decision that will cost millions.
What Thursday night displayed once again is what CU fans have seen for much of this season. These Buffs are not a team bereft of talent. Whoever roams CU's sidelines next year will not be working with a bare cupboard.
Rather, it will be well-stocked with a promising quarterback, a solid stable of running backs, a potentially solid offensive line and what could be a terrific group of wide receivers. Almost all of the players who made a difference Thursday night — from Tyler Hansen to Markques Simas to Brian Lockridge to Scotty McKnight to Rodney Stewart — will be back for the 2010 season.
It's the same story on defense. Cornerbacks Jalil Brown and Jimmy Smith are returning. Ditto for Anthony Perkins, Tyler Ahles, Will Pericak, Michael Sipili, Marquez Herrod and Jon Major.
Add to those lists a promising group of redshirt freshmen, and CU's talent level should be the best it's been in years, reaching back at least to the latter stages of the Gary Barnett era.
That's exactly why supporters of Hawkins insist the head coach should get a fifth year. If the Buffs are indeed close — as close as they appeared to be on Thursday — one more year might make the difference between potential and production.
But critics insist that one more year will simply yield more of the same. They say Hawkins has had plenty of time to show improvement. They note that a coach in his fourth year should not be hanging his hat on "close."
And, they rightfully point out, Hawkins' record has gone backward since his second year.
The decision won't be easy. Guaranteed, there is still a significant faction at CU that is not enthralled with the idea of writing another million-dollar check to replace a football coach — particularly at a university that continues to slash its operating budget. Such a decision would most certainly not be met with smiles from that corner of campus.
But now, the question is which set of numbers will carry the most weight.
A victory Thursday night would have no doubt changed the equation at least a little.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) – If you have noticed more spiders around your home than usual, you are not alone.
Forestry experts say this is peak time for spiders to reach adult size, but if it seems like there are more than usual, it turns out you only have to go back a few weeks to find out why.
Chapin homeowner John Gardner says his home has always been a haven for spiders. "Certainly around the flood lights and in the windows is where they're most noticeable," said Gardner.
But this year he's called in extra help-- the Mosquito Squad of Columbia.
"This year has been incredible," said Colleen Haskin, the owner of the Mosquito Squad. The squad, which also specializes in spider control, says they are getting a lot more calls than usual, and it turns out all the August rain may have something to do with it. "All this moisture, it's an ideal environment for everything that creeps and crawls," added Haskin.
Officials at the South Carolina Forestry Commission say it's not that the spider population is increasing, but the excessive rain actually created a bigger menu for spiders.
"A lot of insects, like cockroaches and crickets, that live in a little bit of damp areas under mulch and leaf litter…when that gets really wet they come up a lot higher, said Laurie Reid, a forest health specialist with the Forestry Commission. "Because these spiders are looking for that because that's their food source, they are more likely to be close to our house."
So if the spiders are too close for comfort, Reid says first try moving mulch away from your home.
"One thing I always tell people is if you have a lot of mulch around your house, and you're seeing a lot of things you don't like, like cockroaches or crickets, or anything like that… pull that mulch away and make it a drier environment," said Reid. "You won't see those anymore, which in turn, you won't see as many spiders because that's the food they're looking for."
If that's not the problem, your outside lights could be. "You can turn your light off, which is going to reduce the number of insects coming in, which is not going to be a food source anymore, and those spiders are going to high-tail it out of there," said Reid.
Reid says unless the spiders are harmful like black and brown widows, or the brown recluse, do not be too quick to get rid of all of them. "I like to say, 'Do you like mosquitoes, cockroaches or crickets around your house? Well, no? The spiders are going to eat them. And do you want caterpillars in your garden eating your tomatoes? Well, you've got spiders that are going to be targeting those insects, as well.' They do a lot of good things for the environment," added Reid.
Reid says you can tell a lot about a spider by the kind of web it makes. If the web is big and intricate, it's most likely a type of orb weaver, like the garden spider (They're black and yellow spiders that make a zig-zag in their web).
More dangerous spiders like the brown and black widows make less intricate webs that have much less of a design.
As for homeowner John Gardner, he says he's glad he is having the areas that were hard to control treated. "It's been a week now, and there are no spiders in that area."

Head First C# is a complete learning experience for learning how to program with C#, XAML, the .NET Framework, and Visual Studio. Fun and highly visual, this introduction to C# is designed to keep you engaged and entertained from first page to last.
You'll build a fully functional video game in the opening chapter, and then learn how to use classes and object-oriented programming, draw graphics and animation, and query data with LINQ and serialize it to files. And you'll do it all by creating games, solving puzzles, and doing hands-on projects. By the time you're done, you'll be a solid C# programmer—and you'll have a great time along the way!
Projects in the book work with all editions of Visual Studio, including the free Express editions.
Bestselling O'Reilly authors Jennifer Greene and Andrew Stellman have been building software and writing about software engineering together since they first met in 1998. Their first book, Applied Software Project Management, was published by O'Reilly in 2005. Other Stellman and Greene books for O'Reilly include Beautiful Teams (2009), and their first book in the Head First series, Head First PMP (2007). They founded Stellman & Greene Consulting in 2003 to build a really neat software project for scientists studying herbicide exposure in Vietnam vets. In addition to building software and writing books, they've provided training and consulted for companies and spoken at conferences and meetings of software engineers, architects and project managers. Jenny studied philosophy in college but, like everyone else in the field, couldn't find a job doing it. Luckily, she's a great software engineer, so she started out working at an online service, and that's the first time she really got a good sense of what good software development looked like. She moved to New York in 1998 to work on software quality at a financial software company. She's managed a teams of developers, testers and PMs on software projects in media and finance since then. She's traveled all over the world to work with different software teams and build all kinds of cool projects.
View Jennifer Greene's full profile page.
Andrew, despite being raised a New Yorker, has lived in Minneapolis, Geneva, and Pittsburgh... twice. The first time was when he graduated from Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science, and then again when he and Jenny were starting their consulting business and writing their first book for O'Reilly. He and Jenny first worked together at a company on Wall Street that built financial software, where he was managing a team of programmers. Over the years he's been a Vice President at a major investment bank, architected large-scale real-time back end systems, managed large international software teams, and consulted for companies, schools, and organizations, including Microsoft, the National Bureau of Economic Research, and MIT. He's had the privilege working with some pretty amazing programmers during that time, and likes to think that he's learned a few things from them.

It's the best C# book!
By Akalyn
from Dnipropetrovs'k, Ukraine
About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly Head First C#, 3rd Edition:
It's the best C# book, I've ever read!A lot of examples and a lot of practice tasks. In my opinion the best experience - read this book in combination with something like "Pro C# 5.0 and the .NET 4.5 Framework 6th Edition By Andrew Troelsen", so you'll get a lot of practice and theory.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

So far so good
By Pete
from Nelson, New Zealand
About Me Student
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 with Windows 8.1 and I've managed to build the first project, Save the Humans. Horay! Took 4 attempts but I got there in the end. Probably didn't follow the instructions exactly the first 3 times. The only thing that differed from the examples given in the book on how things should be is this line that was auto-generated for me: public sealed partial class MainPage : Save_the_Humans.Common.LayoutAwarePage.Instead of the Save_the_Humans.Common.LayoutAwarePage line after the colon I just had the one word, Page. The program worked as described despite this difference. I found the instructions clear and well set out with good side notes and tips.

First program does not work
By Herb Smith
from Aurora, Il
About Me Sys Admin
The boot appears to built around Win 8 and Visual Studio 2012. The very first program they have you build "Save the Humans" does not work with Visual Studio 2013 and Windows 7. Even with following the special Win 7 WPF instructions from the Web site, it does not work. Checked against posted code and I match 100%. After deleting my code and cutting and pasting post code, I code a message in error list. It basically said startButton_click was undefined and asked if a using directive or assemply reference was missing. I can tell you the code for startButton_click was in place. As learner I have no clue if using directive is missing
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Head First C# is on point
By RateControl
from East Lansing, MI
I received this book, for being a part of the O'Reilly Blogger Book Review Program.I started with Head First C#, going in with a blank slate. I'm a sys admin and DBA by trade, so I wanted a programming book that was at my level.This is that bookI am big fan of how the book opens with writing code for a simple program. After that it moves into the logical and syntax of what just happened. This may or may not work for everyone, the style of "follow me, and do what I do, then I'll tell you why", it works for me. For anyone who learns-by-doing, this book is for you.The writing style if informal, which, doesn't speak to every type of reader, but it works for me. The book takes the teeth out what could be the heavy subject of C#. The little call-outs, cartoons, and exercises break up the monotony of learning a programming language, they provide brief respites. The examples and directions are easy to follow. The book builds on previous chapters, so one could skip forward to later chapters if the book is a bit slow.I don't have a whole lot of negative to say about this book, it hit all the spots that I was looking to itch. If one is looking for a reference book, this isn't it. It's just not setup like that. I will definitely tell friends and co-workers (who aren't programmers), who want to learn C#, that this is the book.

Great learning tool for C#
By Jeff
from Cincinnati, OH
About Me Developer, IT Manager, Sys Admin
Head First C# takes a hands-on, instructional approach to object-oriented programming in C# in a casual tone, making the information easier to absorb. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to learn how to develop applications in C#. For a more detailed review, please read on.ABOUT MEI'm an IT professional with about 10 years of industry experience in various roles. Most of my work has been in client-facing roles in Systems Integration, Professional Services, IT Project Management, and IT Management. Despite getting a degree in Computer Science in 2005, I had yet to have a job where my primary responsibility was programming and software development—the entire reason I got into this field.I was always a good programmer, but other intangible skills had always positioned me to be more useful in other hybrid roles between business and technology stakeholders. I decided recently to move the career needle back towards my passion, and so I began the retraining process. I had done some programming in my various positions, but as it was never my primary responsibility, I was a bit rusty.WHY I BOUGHT THIS BOOKI settled on Head First C# because I was looking for a book that would ease me back into the world of Object-oriented programming, as well as C# as most of my education had been in C++. I was also looking for a book that would reinforce my learning with plenty of questions, exercises, and labs. This book does both of those things very well.With a degree in Computer Science, I obviously understood OOP concepts and was comfortable with seeing code and syntax. What I wasn't comfortable with at this point was my ability to recall all I had learned, and I was unsure what had changed since I last beat up the semicolon key on my keyboard. With repetition, turning questions back on me to get me thinking, exercises, labs, and engaging examples, this book allowed me to gain back that confidence and learn plenty of new things as well. LAYOUT AND ORGANIZATION OF THE BOOKThe book starts right off with having you write a Windows Store App in C# to get your feet wet with C#, programming, and XAML. This is a confidence builder for newbies to programming and for those of us returning, a nice "Welcome back!" After that, all exercises go back to using Windows Forms to focus on teaching OOP, Computer Science concepts, and C# until XAML is reintroduced in chapter 10. For me, this allowed me to rediscover familiar concepts at my own pace while learning some new ones.The second half of the book (everything after Lab #2) moves into building Windows Store Applications with XAML, some intermediate topics like exception handling, events, and LINQ, and good software design using the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern. The book really takes the time to try to teach you not just programming, but software development.CONCLUSIONHead First C# is a good, all-in-one teaching tool for anyone looking to get their hands into C# development. Beginner and intermediate developers alike will get some value out of this book.I'm finishing up the final lab in the book this week and will be moving onto a combination of C# reference books and exam prep guides next as I work towards my MCSD. Head First C# definitely put me down the right road to be able to attack those goals head on!NOTESAs with all technical publications, it is recommended to utilize online resources such as forums, errata, and other supplements made available by the publisher to get the optimal learning experience. I actually won a few of the "bounties" for the labs! :-)As I've seen other reviews note, if you're not using Windows 8, you need to use an accompanying PDF with WPF equivalents to the XAML Windows Store App exercises. The authors clearly state this on page xxxviii: "We wrote this book using Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 and Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop." They also state that Chapters 3 through 9 don't require Windows 8, and you can do the rest of the exercises using WPF desktop apps instead of Windows 8 apps using a provided PDF. I personally just upgraded to Windows 8, though I felt it important to clarify that all of this is clearly noted in the "What you need for this book" section of the introduction.

A Very Frustrating Update
By Alehotep
from London, England
About Me Maker
I have been impressed by these books as they make tough subjects interesting. I had bought the previous edition as an e book and was struggling with the format (finding the vital code text very small and a bit awkward to navigate). So I thought I would update to the latest edition on paper also so I could use it as a reference more easily. Unfortunately the first few chapters are entirely devoted to Windows 8 format. There is a PDF which you are encouraged to download that allows you to build the same projects on earlier operating systems, but this does mean I have ended up reading from a screen again, just what I was trying to avoid by buying the book. It even says in the Appendix that it would be a good idea for Windows 8 users to go back and build the projects using the older (WPF) way. It would have seemed a better idea to make that the content of the book and release a PDF for Windows 8 users, rather than exclude the many of us who have not updated yet.

Great book for the typical ADHD pro
By The Professional Heretic
from Independence, MO
I have read other Head First books before and this one was very much in line with those others. For those who are not familiar, the Head First Labs concept is to turn the reading experience around and deliver the information with a lot of other goodies to keep your brain engaged by not having line after line of text blurring into one another. For some people, myself included, this is a fantastic delivery mechanism. Their Head First Statistics book probably helped me with the class more than the textbook did.This book is no exception. It is well researched and well written. The examples are entertaining and keep you engaged with the book and with the concepts as they build layer by layer until you have a very solid understanding of the basics of C#. This is a book geared to someone picking the language up for the first time. My only complaint is that they are so centered on Windows 8 and the Windows App Store that they had to put out a separate pdf file for people who don't have or don't develop for Window 8. For me, I had not yet made the jump, so I needed the conversions in places. However, the book was so new, it wasn't immediately available.I would have preferred them target the .NET 4 and 4.5 frameworks from a Windows 7 perspective only because it's more in use in the enterprise where many programmers are working. They could also use this to isolate the 4.5 improvements a little better and then demonstrate how those improvements are enhanced in the Windows 8 experience. However, I also admit that being able to build a Windows Phone application with C# and XAML was a fun exercise.Overall, this book is perfect for the slight to moderate ADHD programmer/student who wants to learn, not want to be boredthumb_hfcs, and tries to cram as much as possible in the shortest time available. The whole "series" is fantastic and well worth anyone's time to use as a good learning tool.

TYLEr, TX (KLTV) - It's been 65 years since Billy Mosley was an ordinance expert in the South Pacific during World War II. From Guam to Luzon, Mosley defused highly explosive bombs in a job where one mistake would have been his last.
In Tinenen, he spent weeks guarding a mysterious group of bombs that were destined to hasten the end of the war. It wasn't until the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945 that Mosley realized what he had been guarding.
On Luzon, Mosley and his ordinance group had to defuse 120 highly explosive bombs that had been hidden since the Americans had been driven fro the island early in the war. He says that was probably his most dangerous assignment. In spite of the danger of his work, Mosley got through the war unharmed, only to spend the years until his retirement in the often dangerous job of fighting fires for the Tyler Fire Department.

From acclaimed writer/director John Sayles (Lone Star, Passion Fish) comes an unforgettable portrait of a richly diverse Florida town threatened by real estate developers. Edie Falco, Angela Bassett and Timothy Hutton lead a remarkable ensemble. A tidal wave of change is coming to Delrona Beach, Florida. Out-of-state developers have descended upon the sleepy coastal community with the promise of big bucks and bigger changes. Torn between honoring family obligations and the lure of quick cash, the locals greet the outsiders with a wildly mixed reception. Marly (Falco, TV's "The Sopranos") is eager to sell the family business and start her life over. As caretaker to her father's motel and restaurant, she's grown resentful of missed opportunities but finds a glimmer of hope in a tentative romance with a visiting landscape architect (Oscar winner Timothy Hutton). Desiree (Oscar nominee Angela Bassett) left town years ago to escape scandal and make a name for herself as an actress. Reluctantly returning home, she finds her strong-willed mother (Mary Alice) unwilling to let go of the past. Co-starring Mary Steenburgen, James McDaniel, Jane Alexander and Ralph Waite, "Sunshine State" is a winning tribute to everyone who lives and works in a land of dreams realized and dreams deferred.
Two woman return to their hometown roots in coastal northern Florida and must deal with family business and encroaching real estate development.

Though NCIS season finales are known for being action-packed cliff-hangers, the final episode of Season 11 may have fans reaching for tissues rather than sitting on the edge of their seats. The episode will pay tribute to actor Ralph Waite, who died unexpectedly in February.
"Everyone involved really wanted to do this," creator Gary Glasberg tells TVGuide.com. "We wanted to do this properly and say goodbye to a character that we all really enjoyed writing over the years, and goodbye to an actor that meant a lot to us. ... This was such a significant event for us, both on-screen and off, that we wanted to handle it properly and do it well, and let people mourn the passing of Gibbs' dad with him."

Question: I heard that Fox canceled its freshmen sitcoms Dads, Enlisted and Surviving Jack! While I never watched and didn't care for Dads, I did watch (and loved!) both Enlisted and Surviving Jack. What puzzles me about the cancellations of all of these shows were that their ratings performed with the same numbers that Fox's other sitcoms New Girl, The Mindy Project and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, yet those shows all got renewed for another season! Why is it that The Powers That Be at Fox would cancel three shows that had the same low (or modest) ratings as the other three shows that got picked up for another year? It doesn't really make sense with me! - Chris

CATEGORIES Horror, Thrillers, Sony, Remakes and Sequels, CinematicalI kinda liked the straightforward and no-nonsense approach to Nimrod Antal's thriller Vacancy (and it does hold up to repeat viewings), so consider me sufficiently intrigued regarding the news of another a follow-up. But recent word indicates that the next Vacancy will be A) direct-to-video (of course), and B) a prequel instead of a sequel. Although they're sticking with screenwriter Mark L. Smith, the new director will be Eric Bross, a named recognizable to only the most serious fans of rotten cinema. (Bross directed that Joey Fatone movie a few years back.)
According to Shock, the prequel will involve "a couple, Jessica and Caleb, and their pal Tanner who check into the Meadow View Inn where the employees are making snuff films." OK, that's a workable concept, but if you've seen the first movie, you kinda know what happened to those kids. (Sounds a lot like the main problem in Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.) Our source also gives us a bunch of new cast members, namely Agnes Bruckner, Lola Davidson, Angel Oquendo, David Moscow, Nelson Lee, Brian Klugman and Gwendoline Yeo.
No word yet on if we'll get to see (slightly) younger versions of Ethan Embry and Frank Whaley.

Students Attend Different Type of Career Day
10/2/2013 (Updated 8:38:23 PM)When most people think career fair we think business suits, meetings, and interviews but today students experienced a different type of career fair... one with hard hats, trucks and work boots.
Tenth, eleventh and twelfth graders from all over Broome, Tioga and Cortland counties were introduced to the construction industry at The Southern Tier's Construction Career Day held at the Broome County Public Works Facility.
"It's a great opportunity for our kids to do one stop shopping for everything if they want to get into this type of work," James Mullins of Broome Tioga Boces said.
About twenty different businesses and trade unions set up shop and not only talked to students about construction work but showed them.
All students had the chance to get hands on experience of what it's like working in the construction industry including going up on and
operating this lift bucket.
"It's important now more than ever for us to start encouraging students of today to be interested in careers in construction and everything that goes with construction," Jack Williams Regional Director of NYSDOT said.
The average age of an operator or highway worker is 51 and the industry may be seeing a shortage of more than two hundred and fifty thousand workers over the next ten years.
"In New York State Construction is a big industry and it's very key to keep our infrastructure going, to keep our economy going," Jim Flint of Dig Safety NY said.
Students learned about different construction jobs that can be done with a high school diploma, a two year degree, and a four year degree.
"They're jobs that no body really talks about but you know doctors will get a lot of credit, firefighters, police officers, teachers, but these if we didn't have them we wouldn't have our bridges we wouldn't have our roads," Tyler Kirby a CV Senior, said.
So whether students trade in those business clothes for hard hats or not they most certainly have a new understanding and appreciation for the construction industry.

HOUSTON (AP) — Andre Johnson caught a screen pass from Matt Schaub and ran 48 yards for the winning touchdown in overtime as the Houston Texans rallied to beat Jacksonville 43-37 on Sunday.
Schaub threw a career-high five touchdown passes, completed a franchise-record 43 passes and finished with 527 yards passing, second most in NFL history. Warren Moon also threw for 527 yards for the Houston Oilers in December 1990 against Kansas City.
Norm Van Brocklin holds the record with 554 for the Rams in 1951.
Johnson caught 14 passes for 273 yards, both career highs. The Texans (9-1) won an overtime game for the first time at Reliant Stadium.
Chad Henne threw a career-high four touchdown passes in relief of injured Blaine Gabbert for the Jaguars (1-9). Rookie Justin Blackmon had 236 yards receiving.

When Jacoby Ellsbury slammed a three-run homer over the right-field bullpen in Yankee Stadium Sunday night, helping Boston to a 7-4, 14-inning win over New York, you could hear the collective sigh of relief from all of New England.
The Red Sox maintained their one-game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays in the wild-card race with three games remaining in the regular season. That means the Red Sox control their own destiny; if they sweep the Baltimore Orioles in a three-game series beginning tonight at Camden Yards, they will win the wild card no matter what anyone else does.
Easier said than done. Boston is 6-18 this month and just lost three of four to the Orioles at Fenway Park -- and gave up nine runs in the game they won.
For Red Sox fans, they likely breathe yet another large sigh: they won't see Tim Wakefield or John Lackey pitching again. The Sox will send Josh Beckett and Erik Bedard against the Orioles in the first two games of the series. The Orioles have Tommy Hunter listed for tonight and then... nobody. The Red Sox don't have a probable starter for Wednesday, either; that might depend on whether they've clinched the wild card by then. They could be anywhere from "clinched" to "one game behind and must win Wednesday" after Tuesday's game.
Meanwhile, the Rays draw the short straw in the schedule by playing the team with the best record in the AL, the Yankees, for the final three games. Good news and bad news: the good news is they get to play them at home. Bad news: the two teams have split six games in Tampa this year. More good news, though: the Rays have their best three pitchers (James Shields, Jeremy Hellickson and David Price) lined up for this series, and the Yankees will start Hector Noesi, Bartolo Colon, and on Wednesday have what manager Joe Girardi terms "a bullpen day". (The Chicago Cubs tried this on the last day of the 2008 season against the Brewers, a team fighting to win the wild card, and lost 3-1 when they could have had a chance to play the Mets instead of the Dodgers in the playoffs. It could be a case of "be careful what you wish for.")
So the Rays aren't out of it, by any means. If the Red Sox and Rays tie for the wild card spot, there will be a tiebreaker game in Tampa -- the Rays get the home game due to a better head-to-head record -- on Thursday.
Angels fans, meanwhile, will long remember closer Jordan Walden. Not for his fine season, but for the sure game-ending double-play ball that he threw into center field on Sunday, opening the floodgates for a four-run Athletics ninth inning and a soul-crushing defeat.
Now the Angels need to sweep the Rangers, while the Red Sox are getting swept, and have Tampa Bay win no more than one game against the Yankees. That would force a three-way tie (two-way if the Rays get swept). A three-way tie would make Bud Selig's head explode, with cross-country travel and at least two days of tiebreaker games involved. (So feel free to root for that.) A two-way tie between the Angels and Red Sox would result in a tiebreaker game in Boston; a two-way tie between the Angels and Rays for the wild card is not possible, because if those two tied at 89 wins, they'd also be tied with the Red Sox, and if they tied at 88 wins, the Red Sox would win (since they already have 89).
If the Red Sox do hang on after their mensis horribilis, they may be in for a treat. Two recent teams had slides as bad or worse than Boston's and won the World Series. In 2000, the Yankees lost 15 of their last 18 regular-season games and nearly blew the AL East title. They went into the postseason with the worst record of any of the eight teams, then went 11-5 in October, dominating the Mets in a five-game World Series.
And in 2006, the Cardinals led the NL Central by seven games with 13 left. They then lost seven in a row and nine of their last 12 and were saved from having to make up a rain-out against the Giants only because the Astros lost on the last day of the season. Then St. Louis also went 11-5 in the postseason and beat the Tigers in the World Series, also four games to one.
So hang in there, Red Sox fans. If your team does make it, the worst may be over. It all gets underway at 7 p.m. ET.

According to a building permit application and plan that was received Thursday, a new H&M may come to Valley View Mall.
It would be about 17,000 square feet and located in front of Sears. According to the plans, the H&M store would be taking over the current storefronts of FYE, Auntie Anne's, Payless Shoes, Footaction and B&C sports.
A building inspector for the city of Roanoke says the application needs to be approved before a permit is obtained and construction to start.
Construction costs for building and material is expected to be about $800,000.
B&C sports is moving to another location in the mall and tells us they're excited for H&M to be coming and hopefully bring more jobs to the area.
"I wanna assure our customers we're not gonna be going anywhere we're gonna be right here," says Bobbie Kurz, store manager at B & C sports.
It is unclear whether the other businesses will be leaving or relocating or when we will see any changes for the new store.
We reached out to the mall's spokesperson but declined to comment.
B&C Sports says they're preparing to move out sometime in the beginning of next year and says they will tell their customers where their new location will be.

Local and federal officials paid a visit to shopkeepers in Lower Manhattan, who are still reeling after Hurricane Sandy, as two candidates for citywide office accused each other of politicizing the storm. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following report.
The tide didn't return a beloved Fiat to its familiar spot. Its owners at Pasanella and Son Vinters drove it in to send a post-flood message:
"We're back."
They are, and just days after Hurricane Sandy left it with significant damage, they're now dusting off the bottles. The problem is, too few others are back around South Street Seaport.
"Our bread and butter business is people living around the neighborhood, coming home from work, and picking up a bottle," said Marco Pasanella of Pasanella and Son Vinters.
Officials visiting Tuesday didn't come to pick up a bottle, but rather to tout loans the federal government is offering. Shepherding them around was Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer.
"I think it's very reassuring that after having a conversation with President Obama, where he told me and others on this conference call that we would actually come to Lower Manhattan, come to the seaport with resources, I think this is a very promising day," Stringer said.
But Stringer's smile tightens at the mention of Domenic Recchia, a possible rival for City Comptroller next year. On Monday, Recchia blasted the fact that Stringer announced his candidacy as inappropriate last weekend. Recchia said it came as New Yorkers, including his constituents, still struggle.
Stringer's response?
"I'll just say that I think that maybe he was a little bit tired when he made those remarks, and I like to think that we'll work together as we have, because the number one issue here is not the next political campaign," he said.
"Yes, he is correct, I am tired. I was tired when I spoke yesterday. I have not stopped working for the past three weeks," Recchia said. "And he is right. Now is not a time for politics. And he should learn from me. I lead by example. He should take my lead and work with me and not worry about his political future."
It may seem a bit early for city politics to grow so heated, but the political calendar may be getting compressed. Normally, primaries are held in September, but the state legislature is considering moving them up to June. That's giving people less time to elbow would-be adversaries out of the way.

RALEIGH — It was hard to tell just how historic a day it was for East Carolina football, because this time the Pirates acted like they had been there before.
But they had plenty of stars as they got past struggling N.C. State 42-28 on Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium.
The win marked the first time the Pirates (9-2) have beaten the Wolfpack and UNC in the same season. The other win had been just as impressive, a 55-31 rout of the Tar Heels on Sept. 28 at Kenan Stadium.
Weve really had the confidence all season and believed in ourselves, said ECU coach Ruffin McNeill, whose Pirates (6-1 in Conference USA) will visit Marshall on Friday in a game that will decide the C-USA East championship.
We believe we can win every game and we believe in each other. We believe in hard work. We dont believe in the easy way. We believe in the right way and thats the way were going to do it. These guys love and trust one another.
A rival game like this, this late, is tough. But we just want to get better. I know Pirate Nation I call them Pirate Family appreciates this. Having grown up in the state I understand the significance (of beating UNC and State) both as a player and a coach. But it should always be given to the players. If the players do well, the university does well.
Junior Shane Carden completed 23 of 30 passes for 255 yards and three touchdowns, also running for two scores himself.
Were a very confident team right now, Carden said. We have nine wins, and that was our goal this week. We know this is a big game. Its a big win for us and an exciting win for us.
It means a lot to Pirate Nation to have beaten (UNC and State), I know that. After this years over maybe we can think about it more. But right now weve got to move on.
McNeill also had high praise for Carden.
Last year he was vying to be the starting quarterback of our offense, the coach said. Now hes earned the starting quarterback of our team. Hes self-motivated. Hes never satisfied. Hes a leader, vocally and by how he does. Hes one of our most passionate players and hardest workers.
Justin Hardy, who now holds the ECU single-season receiving yardage record with 1,130, caught eight passes for 83 yards and a TD and completed that 20-yarder to Cooper.
I just thank ECU for getting me here, said Hardy, a junior from Vanceboro who was not recruited by the Tar Heels or Wolfpack. I kind of have a chip on my shoulder sometimes. The in-state rivalries we have are all big for the program.
Ive just gone hard in practice all year long and let it carry over into the games. Coaches have told us not to listen to all the outside noise and take it one game at a time.
ECU scored four straight touchdowns to build a 35-7 lead before the Wolfpack rallied late. At that point every scoring drive had gone at least 63 yards.
The Pirates did have a few spectacular plays on the day including a one-handed Vintavious Cooper catch on a Hardy pass for a 20-yard gain to the State 43 and a 32-yard sideline connection from Carden to Reese Wiggins at the 3 on the drive that made it 35-7 most of the offense was pretty methodical.
It was kind of behind me and I actually got held a little bit, Cooper said of the catch. Being that I came out of the backfield and, I guess (the defender) thought I had it. Justin kind of put it behind me in hopes that I would get a pass interference call. I dont know, man. Somehow I just caught it.
The Pirates have now won 12 of the 28 meetings with the Wolfpack, including two straight and nine of the past 15.
