News: Suge Knight Wanted For Assaulting & Robbing Yukmouth
Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 5:40PM
Former Death Row Records owner Marion "Suge" Knight is reportedly being sought by police for assaulting and robbing West Coast rapper Yukmouth.
According to reports, the incident took place Monday (March 22) night in California.
The former chief of Death Row Records (and former prison inmate) reportedly attacked Yukmouth with 10 members of his entourage, taking $92,000 worth of jewelry at a Ralph's supermarket in the San Fernando Valley around 10:00pm on Monday. (Gossip Cop)
In addition to Knight, members of his entourage are also being called into question.
Sources say Suge and his entourage are suspects and cops want to question them. We're also told there's a previous misdemeanor warrant out for Suge's arrest -- which makes it unlikely he'll visit the police department. (TMZ)
The mogul was previously suspected of robbing an associate of Akon last year.
At about 3:00 AM five men broke into his home with guns and were there to collect a debt on behalf of Suge Knight. They claimed Detail owed Suge money, and then proceeded to collect on the debt. They stole $170,000 worth of jewelry from his room. Christopher Walker adds they demanded a key to the safe and said they would kill all four people in the house if they didn't get it. The robbers didn't get the key, instead, they took the 130 pound safe. They also took stereo equipment and a key to a Mercedes. A police source tells us it's more like $300,000. (TMZ)
He was also publicly dissed by rapper Game during a freestyle earlier this year.
"It's 2010 and I said f*ck Suge!," Game freestyled during a performance. "Because I'm a motherf*cking animal/And they don't know that I'm a cannibal/Emcees I eat 'em, thick b*tches I beat 'em/I fry haters up just 'cause I don't need 'em/Where the f*ck we from, n*gga from Compton/Where the f*ck we from, we from Compton...Weezy, I made that n*gga a Blood, Jim Jones, I made that n*gga a Blood, Gucci [Mane], I made that n*gga a Blood, so when they throw it up, eveybody say what's up...Everybody in this b*tch know what Game 'bout/Suge took the same route...Let's vote, 2010, n*gga f*ck Death Row!"

The Bassoon Brothers: The Clowns of the Orchestra
With April Fool's Day just around the corner, here's an ensemble guaranteed to bring some laughter into your day – The Bassoon Brothers. Their mission from their website:
"We have an ultimate mission to attract more players and interest in what is the most versatile and magnificent musical instrument – the bassoon and the family of 'oons. We wish for the public to quit calling it an oboe and through your help and our efforts we hope to accomplish this miracle.Although we don't always take ourselves seriously, the Bassoon Brothers do have a very serious mission: to prevent the extinction of this extremely versatile but endangered instrument and to encourage its performance by popularizing the bassoon through our music."
I couldn't agree more. Being a former bassoonist, IÂ adored the instrument and still do. It has been called "the clown of the orchestra" and a "farting bedpost."
To me it even resembles a bazooka a bit when you throw it over your shoulder.

Art of Inspiration
Quino's beloved characters, first drawn in 1964, have not lost any of their original wittiness.
Mafalda turns 50 /
Many generations have grown reading the Mafalda comic strips, losing themselves in one of the many volumes that have been re-printed over time. This is undoubtedly due to their poignant relevance, Quino, the comic's author, considers that: "many of the things questioned by his work continue unresolved."
More than forty years after they were originally drawn, the sharp observations Quino made through Mafalda, both in the local Argentinian political scene, and on the global stage; Mafalda's critical gaze, naïve Libertad (Liberty) or Manolito's opportunistic capitalist ways, continue to be replicated in the world at the beginning of the twenty-first century with the same mordacity that first resulted in their creation in 1964.
Quino, whose real name is Joaquín Salvador Tavado Tejón, was born in Mendoza, western Argentina, in 1932. Since the first publication of Mundo Quino in 1963 he has been recognised as one of the finest graphic humourists in the country, whose poetry and poignancy are also praiseworthy.
It was, of course, the grouchy and irreverent black-haired girl with a red bow that made Quino known around the world. Her origin dates back to a commercial for vacuum cleaners Quino was asked to do, in a recent interview the caricaturist explained:
I adapted the strip. A named the little girl Mafalda. And I took off with the comic without any plan. Since I no longer had to compliment the virtues of a vacuum cleaner, I made her whiny and grouchy. It was an immediate revenge.
Even though Mafalda's adventures officially ended in 1973, Quino, like many other Argentinian intellectuals and artists, had to find exile during the military cue. According to the drawer, "Mafalda was not censored, I think, because in the artistic field, comics were considered a minor genre, which did not represent a historical threat. The drawings did not appear to be intellectual art and they were considered a form of entertainment."
Mafalda has historically been compared to Charlie brown, by the American cartoonist Charles Schultz because they share a similar origin and they both criticise the middle classes. Nonetheless, for Quino "Mafalda belongs to a country were social contrasts are common, one that wanted to integrate her and make her happy, but she refuses and rejects every offer," while " Charlie Brown lives in his own childhood universe, where adults are rigorously excluded, except for the fact that children want to become adults. Mafalda lives in constant dialogue with the adult world," even if she rejects it, "while she claims her right to continue being a child."
For this caricaturist, the future is a rigorously utopian place, but one where the past cannot be excluded: "It is our duty to believe that the future will be better, even if deep in our hearts we know it will remain the same."Tagged: Mafalda, Quino, cartoons, argentinian cartoonists, inspiration

If scheduled reforms to the National Flood Insurance Program kick in October 1st, real estate values may react, which will become an issue for Pinellas Property Appraiser Pam Dubov.
"Our property values are to reflect market value, and market values in low-lying areas are now going to be affected by something that has never been an issue before," Dubov said Wednesday.
That explains a map she had her staff prepare, showing an estimated 32,000 single-family residences that may be impacted by much higher flood insurance premiums -- contrary to first impressions,
"There are many, many affected parcels that are inland," Dubov pointed out. "There's parcels that are in Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg, Kenneth City, that are very far off the waterfront, but they happen to be low-lying areas. This is not a beach problem."
By her count 15,016 -- or nearly half of the houses are inside St. Petersburg's city limits. That represents 22 percent of St. Petersburg's housing stock.
In other towns, the numbers are lower, but the percentage of impacted properties is much higher. For example, 86 percent of South Pasadena's houses, 83 percent of Madeira Beach's and 80 percent of Redington Beach's single family residences may be subject to the new flood insurance rates.
Congress required risk-rated premiums in 2012 when it renewed the National Flood Insurance Program. Pinellas is possibly the hardest-hit county in the nation because many of its houses were built before flood risk maps were first published in 1974.
Those homes were provided flood insurance at a steep discount, and the favorable, subsidized rates have been grandfathered for decades.
The flood insurance reforms require 20 percent annual increases until risk-rate is achieved for policy holders who stay in their homes.
Buyers of those homes who take out a mortgage are required to pay the full risk-rate. Depending on elevation, premiums could cost $10,000 or more.
Dubov predicts that will impact re-sale values.
"Their ability to sell will be contingent upon a buyer's ability to pay a much higher premium," she said.
Dubov sent us the map, along with this e-mail:
"Please find attached our initial map of single family homes that are Pre-FIRM (built prior to adoption of the Flood Insurance Rate Map) in Pinellas County along with a spreadsheet that totals the parcels by city.
Please note that these counts may include homes that are elevated above the base flood elevation for their zone. We will not know accurate living elevations for certain until we obtain Certificates of Elevation or parcel specific elevations from outside sources. This data was prepared to assist us in identifying the affected areas for the public and our local jurisdictions.
We did not compile this map to identify individual parcels because we do not want home owners to rely on our map which combines FEMA and Property Appraiser map layers which do not always align perfectly. Property owners should rely on FEMA to find out their correct flood zone because it is FEMA's determination that will affect premiums."

By Rebecca Heine
This past week, Bridgewater was honored with a visit from Paul Rusesabagina, the inspiration and driving force behind the movie Hotel Rwanda. The story told through the silver screen is that of Rusesabagina and his experiences during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994. During the three-month massacre, it is estimated that 10,000 Rwandans were brutally killed every single day. In a country the size of Vermont, this means that 12% – 15% of the population was killed in a very short amount of time. The film, however, does not focus on the horrific tragedy of the genocide itself. As Rusesabagina described, no lessons could be taken from a film like that; it couldn't connect to younger generations. Hotel Rwanda was created to be an inspiration, a lasting message for the future.
"It is about the genocide, but in a different language, to talk to my audience…the future leaders," Rusesabagina said during the dinner that preceded the convocation.
Rusesabagina spoke passionately to the packed audience of approximately 650 people, walking us through the events that took place in 1994. He described the terror of having a gun being held to his head on multiple occasions, his own life being threatened because he took a stand. Rusesabagina had been the manager of the diplomat hotel; during the massacre, he sheltered countless refugees and provided for everyone, even while the hotel was under direct attack. He was even offered a chance to be evacuated from the country and refused, sending his wife and children out instead. Rusesabagina described the heart-breaking process of telling his family goodbye and telling them he was staying behind.
"At that time," Rusesabagina said, "all kids understood what was going. There was no need to explain."
Dr. Jeff Pierson, director of the convocation program, said that he initially thought of bringing Paul Rusesabagina to Bridgewater because many PDP sections actually use the movie Hotel Rwanda when discussing community and global citizenship. Pierson, although he hasn't taught a PDP section for three years, used the film in his own classes. Several of the students at the pre-convo dinner had actually seen the film as part of their AP History classes in high school. Rusesabagina was thrilled to hear that his work was fulfilling its mission and making its way to the youth of our nation.
"My message is being heard," he said satisfactorily.
Rusesabagina stressed several times during his speech that the main point in his message was not the story of the genocide itself; rather, it is to inspire new generations to be active in preventing such a tragedy from taking place ever again.
"The genocide took place because many people stood by… (they) didn't want to be concerned," Rusesabagina said.
His insight into this problem is that it is hard to look out of your own immediate community and move beyond what is known and familiar to see the global significance of events. Rusesabagina challenged the students of Bridgewater to be aware of the world outside of college, recognizing the impact we have on the global community. A particular example he used was the current similar tragedy taking place in the Congo that is being largely ignored in the media. Americans are largely unaware that the minerals used in the creation of our cell phones and computers have sparked a veritable blood bath in the Congo, and the ceasefire called for diplomatic negotiations ended after only two months by a surprise attack.
Here at Bridgewater College, students are blessed by a safe and comfortable environment in which we are free to explore and develop skills for our future. All that Rusesabagina asks is that the future we pursue is one of worth and compassion, and that we live as responsible global citizens.Tweet

Remember the bout between Rory MacDonald and B.J. Penn that was originally scheduled for UFC 152 in Toronto, but Rory suffered a cut and it was moved back to December? Well, that bout was going to be the first in the UFC that saw the competitors undergo additional VADA drug testing. But according to Joe Ferraro of Sportsnet, there might be another bout that uses that style of testing - the UFC 154 welterweight title unification bout between Georges St. Pierre and Carlos Condit. Only they can't agree on who actually handle the testing - VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency) or USADA (US Anti-Doping Agency).
Ferraro explains in more detail:
With an upcoming title defence (or unification bout, if you will) versus interim champ Carlos (The Natural Born Killer) Condit next on the agenda, St-Pierre agreed and stated, "you can't be against virtue. If you have nothing to hide there is nothing wrong with doing additional testing such as VADA, Olympic-type testing, etc. I don't condemn the athletic commissions but you can't be against additional testing. If Carlos wants to do it, I am more than willing to go with VADA."
With one half of the yet-to-be-officially-announced title fight agreeing to additional testing, Condit's camp wasted no time in responding.
John Fuller, founder and publicist at Full Athlete Marketing, represents Condit as well as UFC lightweight champion Benson (Smooth) Henderson. When asked about the potential of his client undergoing additional testing, the answer was similar to that of GSP's camp, but with another twist.
"Carlos is obviously interested in upholding the integrity of the sport. He would be more than interested to submit to testing, but we'd prefer to do it via the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) because we feel they are the most reputable drug testing organization in the world."
That's an interesting wrinkle. If the two can come to an agreement on what agency will handle the testing (and figure out who is going to pay for it), they would be using one of the biggest fights in recent UFC history to show off this more enhanced testing. And I like it.

It's an unfortunate testament of the time we live in when a film that takes an adult, mature, sincere, if realistic look at relationships between black men and black women could be viewed as dare I say radical.
And this isn't hyperbole; seriously.
Think of recently produced and released *black films* that center on the interactions between grown-ass men and grown-ass women (primarily studio films; although, to be frank, even on the indie front, some black filmmakers seem to believe that mimicking commercial cinema is the path of least resistance); those films are often rather juvenile, simplistic depictions of how we connect and relate to one another; and the usually lean towards the comedic, as if there's some fear of facing, head-on (as an adult should), with honesty and maturity, the sometimes severity of this thing called life.
It's refreshing to be able to see oneself and those you surround yourself with on the screen. You know and recognize these people, even if their predicaments are completely different from yours; there's just an understanding there that resonates as familiar, yet still astonishing (if only because of how rare it is to see), and in the end satisfies.
Some of you will likely recognize the film reference I made in the heading of this review; the still very much groundbreaking (even today, some 48 years later) 1964 film Nothing But A Man, starring Ivan Dixon as our "man" and the lovely Abbey Lincoln.
Those who've seen that film will recall, again, the adult and sensual ways in which the material is handled. Like Middle Of Nowhere (MON) it's a quiet, introspective, even slow-burn of a movie, seemingly and gradually gathering strength (and getting all-the-better for it) as it progresses; and not only the film as a work of art, but also the central characters within each; one wanting to be acknowledged as "nothing but man;" the other, in MON, as nothing but a woman, strong and with pride - treated with the same kind of humanity and respect that she (played beautifully by Emayatzy Corinealdi) gives willingly; nothing more; but also nothing less.
Rudimentary. It doesn't get much simpler than that; yet we have a funny way of dirtying things up, even when they're perfect, as if there's a fear that that perfection is false and/or ephemeral.
You get lost in Ava Duvernay's sophomore effort, as these people you're watching feel so real, you're consumed with their individual plights; when they feel heartache, you stomach gets all tied up in knots; when they're joyous, you smile, and maybe even a tear or two slides down one or both cheeks. Because you're connected and you care, which speaks to the abilities of the filmmaker, cast and crew.
I won't rehash the film's plot; you can easily look it up. While it certainly has a engaging narrative, I found myself more captivated by mood, and feeling of individual moments throughout the film. I'd even go further and say that the any astute viewer could predict the film's general progression once you start watching it, and the core characters are introduced.
However, I'd also say that as with her fictional feature film debut, I Will Follow, Ms Duvernay seems to understand the importance of singular MOMENTS (intentional emphasis) within each film that really grab onto you and are thus memorable.
In the first film, as I noted in my review of it, the MOMENT was that intimate, revelatory scene between Omari Hardwick's character and Salli Richardson-Whitfield's, which ends in an unexpected series of admissions and indictments, that anyone in Richardson-Whitfiled's position would feel walloped by; that moment of, shall we say, regret and rebirth.
MON has two MOMENTS which I obviously won't give away. What I will say is that both of them are heartrending: one a betrayal; the other a release; each character defining.
The success of a film of this nature lies heavily in the performances, because, really, despite Bradford Young's beautiful photography (which is expected and a given), and the perfectly-brooding soundtrack (featuring the likes of Me'shell Ndegeocello and Little Dragon, each so well-timed without being dominating), that's all there is. We've got to believe that these people are who they tell us they are. A single false note could take the audience out of the moment, or the MOMENT and thankfully that doesn't happen here.
As an aside, I should say that British actor David Oyelowo's ability to perfect a kind of what I'd call down-home African American blackness in his speech, was of some concern to me, after seeing Red Tails, which I saw weeks before seeing MON; and I was glad to not have witnessed a repeat of his attempts at a southern-ness in that mediocre - at best - film that I've already expressed contempt for (though his, shall I say, kaleidoscopic accent was the least of that film's problems).
All of the performances in MON are beautifully and simply drawn. The star of the film, Emayatzy Corinealdi, gives a restrained, though affecting performance as Ruby, a woman who stands steadfastly by her man, even as he does everything he can to push her away.
She's fiery when she needs to be, without falling into melodramatic traps; sufficiently sensual and sexual, with facial features (notably the cheekbones, and the inquisitive eyes) that give her character an adorability, which I think only makes it easier for the audience to empathize with her plight; that, and, as already noted, a strong performance of course.
I'm sure we'll be seeing her in even more feature films.
MON is a well-paced, well-written beautiful film (thanks to Bradford Young's work), with an attractive cast delivering strong performances, and a complimentary soundtrack that profiles the life of a prison inmate's wife. To put it simply, it's a deliberate, matured tribute to adulthood - that life phase when we become (or are expected to become) independent, self-reliant (in thought, action and otherwise) decision-making human beings, fully responsible for the choices we make and their repercussions, and coming to terms with who and/or what we are, warts and all.
As for its distribution prospects... I'll just leave you with this...
Serious adult dramas centered on stories of people of African descent aren't exactly in high distribution company demand right now; and I'm talking specifically about mainstream studios and their *indie* subsidiaries.
Nothing but A Man faced similar difficulties when it was ready to enter the market place, despite prominent festival play and critical acclaim; but it's also a film we often look back on (40-something years later) quite fondly, and reference as exemplary of the kind of relationship/character drama (with black faces) that's noticeably lacking in cinema.
We need more films like Middle Of Nowhere, but I just don't think that belief is as widely-held as it probably needs to be; hence the creation of AFFRM.
We'll see.

I am mixed with Hispanic and black but its unfortunate how this movie was not promoted or on the radar.... I felt as though it was an exceptional movie... I wish all the cast members lots of luck... And the soundtrack was amazing triing to find it now...! Coodoos
Rashida | February 7, 2012 2:50 AM
I'm trying to locate this film in theaters in Chicago. The only city listed is Park City ,Utah where the population consists of 81% Whites and 0.6%Blacks..... Really. I love a good movie. It's an added bonus when the actors look like me. How can I support African-American films if I can't find them?
auntTT | January 26, 2012 9:31 PM
OMG...are you me? I thought I was the only one who thought that scene between Omari and Salli in 'I Will Follow" was masterful..but then how many people have seen that lovely film?
As for David Oyelowo - so glad to hear he's not attempting an accent because, aside from all the other problems I had with "Red Tails" (and they were numerous so I'll have to read your review) his accent slippage bugged the hell out of me the whole time. Maybe I'm more attuned to African voices because my stepfather is Ghanaian but I was literally thinking Am I the only one who thinks that this throws off the ENTIRE film? So thank you Tambay, whoever you are. I could see a movie with you anytime LOL
urbanauteur | January 25, 2012 2:41 PM
More & more i'm digging this urban auteur, her screenplays are reminiscence of Alice Walker & poet-playwright: Alexis De Veaux, her filmic aethetic places me in a Igmar Bergman,Carl Dreyer or Kenji Mizoguchi visual canvas, all i can say is ..to quo,martin lawrence, you go girl;-)
vdub0408 | January 24, 2012 5:33 PM
thank you for this review. i got the reference to the masterful, "nothing but a man" and was encouraged that you compared this new offering of ava duvernay's to it. i am looking forward to seeing a film that shows beautiful brown people in full and complex interactions. and as you point out the sad truth that films of this type are not in "high distribution company demand"; i affirm (!) that i will do what i can to spread the word and get butts in seats! on and up.
LeonRaymond | January 23, 2012 7:37 PM
From the review and from Ava's other film, I would say she created a masterful film that is akin to The full scope of a great jazz album that is not watered down or done for sales venue even though it can be dipped in that premise if need be. She created a film akin to listening to Bird or Coltraine, you don't rush it, you take it in and it leaves a visible impact. She just gave us another note from an array of notes that will be splendid viewing, she gave us back the word CINEMA!
lil nut | January 23, 2012 4:38 PM
go ava! brilliant concept. looking forward to putting eyes on this one.
... | January 23, 2012 4:20 PM
So...would you say that this film is "good," or not?

You can't beat the style, entertainment and excitement of a day at the races, especially when you're watching the world's best Thoroughbreds compete.
Exhilaration, pageantry and two days of downright excitement… that's what I call the Breeders' Cup World Championships. Get ready to scream like never before.
Breeders' Cup weekend is marked on my calendar every year. I grew up going to the races with my Dad and my love of the sport has only grown. The racing, the fashion, the beautiful tracks and the parties...the Breeders' Cup has it all.
The fastest horses in the world will be coming to Santa Anita to compete in the Breeders' Cup in November. It's the richest, most exciting event each year and makes most other sporting events look, well, quaint.
The Breeders' Cup are two of the most special days in horse racing. It is the Super Bowl, March Madness, and World Series combined into one weekend a year. It is where all the great ones come together to compete.
It's the richest event in sports, so it's a lot of fun.
My love for thoroughbred horses and racing closely rivals my love for golf, and it is such a thrill to now be named an ambassador for the Breeders' Cup.

Nice lady,wants to be helpful to a fault.Takes too much time answering questions below/not pertinent to course topics,causing the class to fall behind & her to rush thru the important stuff that needs explaining.Setting up the Oracle DW Environment is a mess.You need a 32 bit Windows machine or VM. Mostly DW concepts, not much data mining.
Void taking her class if you can, her class is super boring, everything you learn is totally useless and she does made her exam harder than it is. And she is bit "discriminate" too, just watch up for that.
Pretty easy professor. Exams are 60% term matching. UML assignments are pretty difficult but you can keep asking her for help. easy 3.3/3.7, no one gets a 4.0.
Best computer professor ever! Easy but you learn alot and she's so friendly easy 4.0
Professor Xu is such a big help and she really tries to make sure everyone is understanding the concepts. She is available all the time and will gladly go over assignments with you one on one. Tests are also fairly easy. Her drawback is that when she gets frustrated or rushed, her accent gets worse and it's hard to hear what she's saying.
Worthless, boring class. You can learn everything worthwhile in a few hours by yourself...which is a huge problem since this is an important CS class. Everyone in the class got a 3.3 or 3.7 - only one 4.0 out of ~35 kids. Take this class if you want a 3.3 with no work and no useful knowledge, but avoid Xu if you actually care about knowledge.
This prof is the best! She is so helpful, takes you through all the steps, if she goes too fast she slows down. She makes sure you do very very well. My favorite prof in Bentley! :):):)
Hard to understand, harsh grader. Not very hard, but classes are so boring.
Great teacher, everything is very structured and makes the class nice and easy. Tests aren't too bad if you make a good cheat sheet, which she allows. overall i'd take her again.
Take her, you will learn a lot and get a good grade.
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR!! Knows her stuff, Kind, Understanding, Easy, Helpful...Just Perfect! Tests are easy. Group project is easy, Assignments are not bad .. She is always in her office if you need help. TAKE HER CLASS!
Excellent professor. Knows her stuff when it comes to databases. Assigned work is not excessive and helps you learn the material. Always in her office to help and responds to e-mails quickly. Cares about what the students think. Take her course if you can.

Payment made in Helston bench saga
Updated 10:17am Thursday 30th January 2014 in News
The contractor in charge of installing new benches in Helston town centre has been paid after the council agreed the work had been carried out satisfactorily.
Last week the Packet reported that the town council were withholding payment until concerns over the 13 benches were resolved, after it was revealed at their meeting that 11 of the benches were already coming loose.
Mayor Jonathan Radford-Gaby and chairman of the amenities committee Justine Hornsby carried out an inspection of all the benches within the 24 hours of the meeting and authorised payment the same day.
Town clerk Chris Dawson said the pair were satisfied that the contractor had carried out work as instructed.
However, it had been decided that more fixings were needed and a further two brackets would now be added to each bench to make them more secure.

I am pleased on inspection by Councillor Jonathan Radford-Gaby and Councillor Justine Hornsby it transpired not to be the case and it was because the benches only had two fittings as opposed to four, as this is easily rectifiable and not the fault of the contractor.
However, as they now are paying to have additional fitments would it not be financially viable to make sure the benches are sited in chosen permanent positions before so doing.

IT would be pure commonsense now to make sure that the benches are in the right locations , before adding the additional fixings to save any further unnecessary expense, so yes Gill is correct in her comment .

3.23/5 rDev +4.9%
Served in a nonic glass
LOOK: (3.5 / 5) Pours a nice, crystal clear, pale straw colour. A bone-white head fades quickly to a thin film. No real lacing left. Some carbonation clings to the glass, but it's gone fairly quickly after the pour.
SMELL: (3.0 / 5) Matls are crisp with a corn-derived sweetness. Hops have a grassier, dry-hopped character. Not a particularly strong or interesting smell.
FLAVOUR: (3.0 / 5) Similar to the nose. Crisp malt and the same corn sweetness. Hop bitterness counteracts this sufficiently, but its only really the bitterness and not a lot of flavour. I would have liked to see a stronger hop flavor. There is a balance achieved, but the flavors were fairly weak in general.
FEEL: (3.0 / 5) Watery body with higher carbonation. This supports the hop bitterness at the end with the perception of dryness.
Drinkability is really the best feature. It is quite refreshing and easy to put down - a good session beer for a hot day. However, there is not a lot of character.

A pint at the brewpub in the Distillery District of downtown Toronto.
This beer appears a slightly hazy medium golden yellow hue, with one finger of puffy, bubbly, and silkily foamy off-white head, which leaves a few specks of paramecia lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of grainy, bready cereal malt, a bit of warm lemon juice, and earthy, leafy, somewhat floral hops. The taste is more bready cereal malt, an astringent, yet stale citrus fruitiness, a touch of stony minerals, and tame earthy, leafy hops.
The bubbles are a tad frisky up front, but settle to a dull hum soon enough, the body medium-light in weight, and generally quite smooth. It finishes off-dry, the cereal malt persisting, while the hops mostly peter out.
A standard (or 'stock', I suppose) ale indeed. Nothing all that memorable, but I gather that's the point - easy drinking, just flavourful enough, and still a broad step above any of the big boys' offerings of the kind.

Straw gold body with two fingers of white head. Head disappears pretty quick and leaves no lace behind.
Aroma of green apple and bread malt. Faint hops. A little bit of caramel.
Bread malt, apple, caramel, and faint grassy hop flavours. All very mild though.
Light bodied and finely carbonated. Drinkable in that inoffensive thirst quenching kind of way. It's a decent lawnmower beer.

LIght coloured, light bodied, not much head. Some mid-sip fruit taste. Was light mouthfeel and malts and hops made it drinkable. But not as drinkable as their Tankhouse Pale. Dry aftertaste.Another flavoured sparkling water or soft drink replacement from these guys.Weak link in lineup.

A - very bubbly clear straw golden, head dissipated to a light covering fed by the constant rising bubbles
S - very grainy sharpness with a peppery note
D - grainy malt, light grassy hop note, slightly peppery, but the flavours are generally weak
M - strong carbonation, thin and a little bready finish
D - you can pour this down the gullet easily enough, but a very average beer, not one of Mill Street's better efforts

The colour of this beer was no surprise, seeing how it came in a clear bottle. Poured into my pint glass, it was highly effervescent bright gold over a thick white head it looked like ginger ale, actually. The smell was sweet honeysuckle and clover paired with a subtle apple aroma.
The taste was well-balanced, with a moderately bitter, drying finish offsetting the malty start. Highly carbonated with medium body. This isn't a particularly memorable beer, but it could make a nice additive-free alternative to a macro if you need a crowd-pleasing offering for guests.

M - light body little carbonation - dry with a funky aftertastes

comes in a clear bottle. pale yellow.
poured in a chalice. tiny head disappears right within seconds.
smell malt right away. tangy sour yeasty smell.
probably light struck from the clear bottle but it came in a box so not sure.
smells like typical see thru bottled fare, corona, et.al.
based on the smell it is probably watery tasting and thirst quenching but not much else. about to find out.
very high carbonation. thin tasting despite the fizz. overall kinda boring. drinkable but not impressed.

Appearance. Pours a clear yella with a thin, bubbly white head that clearly had some shit to do because it didn't stick around for long.
Smell. Sweet, barely toasted grains with a tiny hit of grassy hops.
Taste. Sweet, lightly toasted grains. Some grassy, earthy hops.
Mouthfeel. Light body with medium-strong, bubbly carbonation.
Overall. Not anything to write home about, but better than the crap that sells the most.

Bottle: Poured a light clear bright yellow color ale with a large fizzy head with minimal retention and not much lacing. Aroma of light sweet malt is quite bland. Taste is also dominated by light sweet malt notes with not many other noticeable characteristics. Boyd is light with fizzy carbonation. I had somehow missed trying that beer for so many years but I can now say that I wasn't missing much.

Bottle to pint glass.
A - Pale straw yellow, almost golden yellow. A small amount of white head formed on the pour and immediately disappeared.
S - Bready malts with a touch of sweetness and a very slight hop aroma.
T - Slightly sweet bready malts with a slight hop bitterness. Seems to have a slight corn element in the palate but it is not overwhelming.
M - Light with a slight bit of body at times and moderate carbonation.
O - This one seems geared to the masses, but is still decent enough to drink.

This is a nice looking blonde ale, which is what I exclaimed out loud as I held it up to the light in a glass. Rich clear golden colour, tall frothy shock white head that retains well, and slowly settles down to a thick creamy cap, a fisherman's net of sticky lacing in its wake.
The aroma is soft and rounded, mild bready malt, a honey-like sweetness, flowery notes most likely from the hops. A little bit of corn and veggies detected however.
The flavour however is fairly basic, corn and veggies seem to overpower much of the malt and hops, making it taste far more macro-produced than it probably should. What malt that does make itself apparent is a light biscuit, and the hops maintain a flowery character. However the more I drink this, the more the deficiencies become more dominant and difficult to ignore. Serious cooked veggie aftertaste.
And yet the mouthfeel is great, medium-bodied, smooth and creamy. Very good for this style in fact. It's an efficient messenger carrying less than savoury news in the end.
All the aspects are there for a great beer with this stock ale, all except the most important, and that it falls short a great deal in the flavour department. The appearance and mouthfeel really stand out, yet the taste doesn't really warrant any return visits in my books. A shame....

On tap at the Black Shire Pub in London, Ontario. Served in a Mill Street pint glass.
Clear orangish amber gold with no head to speak of. Ew. A few lazy bubbles.
Nose of pungent sweet pale malt, perhaps a bit of sugared fruit. Rather one-sided.
Palate is sickeningly sweet but grainy, with cloying maltiness that you can't get out of your mouth. Too syrupy for me, this isn't my thing at all. Choked down a glass.
Sorry, Mill Street, but you've done much better.

"I looked through several designs to find one flexible enough to include 5 photos yet not look crowded. This worked beautifully! Very easy to move and scale images. I was a bit concerned that my cropping might not look exactly as I wanted in the finished product, but it was perfect!! I asked for a free designer review. She called and suggested a small change that made a big difference - I was very grateful. Photos have a slightly grainy quality, but overall an excellent product I am happy to send out to everyone."
"Loved this layout for our annual card to celebrate the new year. Just the right number of pics to show the highlights of the last 12 months and the glitter to make it fancy. We chose to do all our photos in a sepia tone to go with the gold."
"Everything was great...color, print and design. The delivery time was amazing and I actually have my New Year's cards out the first week of January! Thank you!"
"This is not your typical sappy and boring holiday card. The colors are brilliant and seem to sparkle. I upgraded the paper and the card stock was top quality, especially comparing the price to the cost of a single card from a boxed set that is not even personalized. This worked well for us because we are a five person blended family with three boys with many interests. The main picture of all of us fit perfectly in the largest box and there were four boxes left to highlight the rest of the year's activities by individual. I also like that it is a New Year's card with a bold saying on it. New Year's cards avoid the whole religious problem some people may have and I didn't feel I had to rush to get the cards out."
"The colors on this card are vibrant and the quality of the card stock is smooth with a nice matte finish. It was a great way to bring in the New Years, since I was late with the Christmas cards. I received a ton of compliments of how the card came out beautiful.. Even though there isn't any glitter on the actual card, the quality of the print makes it look like it does have glitter. I would re order again. The great part is the back of the card, I added more pictures and the chevron style gave it a nice touch."

After the gray skies and strong damaging winds from another winter storm, it's amazing what a difference a day can make.
"This time yesterday it was snowing, now its 50 degrees and its beautiful blue skies, no clouds and a beach day in Stone Harbor," said city council member Joselyn Rich.
Hundreds gathered under blue skies on the beach in Stone Harbor for the third annual Stone Harbor Shiver polar plunge.
And after a difficult winter, participants in the parade and costume contest were happy to send the winter weather away.
After master of ceremonies Dan Skeldon gave his forecast, plungers returned to the shore with favorable reviews.
"Its amazing to go from snowing cold and wintry weather to spring and sunshine and 50 degrees like it is," said polar plunger Shelbi Gourniak.
"And being at the beach and the ocean and this beautiful background its just incredible."
"This shouldn't even count as a shiver I mean come on," said shiver participant Don Bostrom.
"I grew up in Boston, this is the middle of summer, 40 degrees, perfect. I could work for the chamber of commerce and get people to down here instead of Miami for spring training, the Phillies should be playing here right now!"
Stone Harbor officials say the event has doubled in attendance each year since its creation and that this year's attendance was a result of the pleasant weather.
And while the 41-degree Atlantic wasn't too bad for humans and canines alike, some of the younger plungers had other thoughts
"It was cold for me, it was freezing cold," said Luke Stock.
"Its really, really cold and like lots of people, there legs were freezing," said Ella Stock.
So with the worst of the winter weather hopefully behind them, guests at the Stone Harbor Shiver were happy to enjoy some fun in the sun.

I've been reading a lot of the posts on here lately. Some of you guys really know your college football and have depended on some of your opinions to see what we can get in the draft to help this team. I don't get to watch as much college ball as I would like, I work every Saturday.
I believe that the key to this offseason will be how well we draft. Because outside of role players and vets competing for position, I don't see the Saints adding any of the bigger name free agents, regardless of position.
Now I don't know all there is to know about contracts in the NFL, but I do know that the contracts signed (or restructured) by quite a few starters on this roster were cap friendly in 2012. That only means that those guys will get paid in 2013. Even with the subtraction of some existing salaries will come the rise of others. This is some of it:
Ben Grubbs was a 2.7 mil cap hit in 2012. As of now, he's a 7.3 mil hit in 2013. Another 4.6 mil.
Jahri was a 3.36 mil hit in 2012. Will be a 9.86 mil hit in 2013. Another 6.5 mil.
Colston was a 3.3 mil hit in 2012. Will be a 6.6 mil hit in 2013. Another 3.3 mil.
Lofton was a 1.7 mil hit in 2012. Will be a 7.1 mil hit in 2013. Another 5.4 mil.
Bunkley was a 1.6 mil hit. Will be a 4.7 mil hit in 2013. Another 3.1 mil.
Hawthorne was a 1.46 hit. Will be a 4.76 mil hit in 2013. Another 3.3 mil.
Oh you get the point. The Saints signed quite a few players that were supposed to greatly help the defense in 2012, and they agreed to sign to back loaded deals to get Drew in uniform. Now its time to pay those guys, the same guys who were part of a record worst defense in the league.
In my opinion, the loss of Bushrod and Smith is inevitable. Smith is due around 15 mil this season! Cutting Smith will cost the Saints financially but not to the level it will to retain him. Shanle and Devery are gone too in my opinion, but I don't think either will be as much of a loss.
But looking at the cap hit increase above versus the money saved by releasing a few guys, it could be a break even situation, even with some restructuring. Roman Harper could be another casuality (and I'd love to see him go), but for some reason I don't see it happening. I see this offseason as one that will try to keep most of the team together and hope the second year under Spags is better than the first. A season free of distraction, a season with the head coach aboard. I have a feeling that this is the best approach anyways. I know that sounds insane with how bad the defense played most of the season, but time may fix some things with a defense that wasn't too familiar with each other coming into last season.
So besides drafting a potential replacement for Bushrod, I think the whole draft should be defense. I'm sure most of you share the same thought. Free agency wise, signing anything of significance for any position we need will be extremely tough. This might be the most important draft for us in recent memory. I hope we can put together a solid one, regardless of if we trade down or not.

Layout problem in ie7 only!!
Sorry for duplication but I posted this to wrong forum
I have checked my page against as many browsers as poss and it is fine in all but ie7. The text in the search-desc div breaks out of the float-fix div and moves to the right.
CSS File;
#contents-content { /* Contents Page */ font-size: .85em; margin: 1.5em 1em 0 1em; min-height: 85em; } .search-results{ width:52em; border:1px solid #000000; margin: 1em 1em 0 0; /* Shorthand notation (top, right, bottom, left) */ } .float-fix{display: inline-block;} /* Hide from IE-mac \*/ * html .float-fix{height: 1%;} .float-fix{display: block;} /* End hide from IE-mac */ /*Float fix:*/ .float-fix:after { visibility: hidden; display: block; font-size: 0; content: " "; clear: both; height: 0; } .search-cols{ width:16.5em; float:right; position:relative; display: inline-block; } .search-desc{ width:35em; float:right; position:relative; padding: 1em 1em 1em 1em; } .search-image{ width:9.5em; float:left; position:relative; padding: 1.5em 0 0 2em; }

I would like to see what you are (trying to) build here. The 5-wrapping-divs thing smells wrong, but I can't see what the content is to know why they are all there.
Even if the extra divs did get around some IE bug, I'll say more code usually helps make more bugs and hides them better.
If possible, it would be nicer to have fewer divs, thus easier CSS.

I'm with SP on that -- it smells wrong -- especially that it appears to rely on that clearfix nonsense... though some obvious problems would include comment placement possibly tripping the disappearing content/double render bugs in IE7-, EM containers around px sized elements like images, use of EM instead of % on font sizes (older IE's don't like that), attempting to use inline-block to build columns, declaring font-sizes without restating your line-heights, and nesting floats in a most peculiar manner. Much less the 85EM min-height for JHVH only knows what.
Or just that you have a 35em .search-desc inside a 16.5em .search-cols container...
Or depending on your document you might be in quirks mode; all those width and padding declarations at the same time is something I usually avoid doing in the first place... it's more headaches than it's worth.
Though I'd really have to see the actual content and the visual effect you are going for to say for certain... Though I suspect I would probably end up cutting the markup down to:

 Describe the Image

.searchResults{ width:52em; margin:2.5em 2em 0 1em; font:normal 85%/140% arial,helvetica,sans-serif; border:1px solid #000; } .searchResults .thumbnail { clear:both; float:left; width:160px; text-align:center; padding-top:1.5em; } .searchResults .description { padding:1em; margin-right:160px; /* thumbnail width */ }
You can see I changed the image declaration to px... EM's + IMAGES == /FAIL/ ... between the horrible behavior of the engines resizing them due to the fact that on many systems EM's do not equal the same amount as others it's best if it's a IMG, use px. EM's is for TEXT -- and with care you can use BOTH. (as in my example code).
But again, that's a wild guess.

Hi all
Thanks for the input it made me think about reducing the divs as suggested. I now have it working. All I needed to do was remove the search-cols tag "a 35em .search-desc inside a 16.5em .search-cols container... "
I will take on board the comments about em and px and change those and the other pointers suggested.
This is my first complete site using only CSS and I would never go back to table layouts again.
Thanks for your help

Emotional farewell to Southampton grandmother Delia Hughes
12:58pm Friday 28th September 2012 in News By Jenny Makin, Deputy News Editor
GRIEVING family and friends have today said an emotional farewell to grandmother Delia Hughes.
The funeral took place at 12.30pm in Southampton - the city the 85-year-old had chosen to spend her later years so she could be close to her family.
Dozens of mourners gathered at the east chapel at Southampton crematorium as Delia's pale pink coffin adorned with little painted flowers, arrived.
There was then a short service, presided over by Father John Chandler, from St Edmunds Church, which included a moving eulogy from Delia's daughter Beryl.
Poems were also read before the service ended to the song Smile, by Nat King Cole.
Floral tributes to Delia told of "the kindest, most caring person we have ever known" and "a very special lady".
The grandmother was found dead on Saturday August 18 at her Ocean Village home. She had been killed by several blunt force injuries to her head.
Her death sparked a murder investigation spanning four weeks that resulted in a man being arrested and subsequently charged with her murder.

Easy class. Not your everyday type of class. Learned a lot.
From the perspective of a Black student I was definitely educated
The only people that would not like this professor are those who are not familiar with the impact of imperialism on the Chicano community.He's honest and blunt.If at any point you have felt frustrated with the present social system he will make class a safe place where you can come in and just vent.
Furthermore, simply because Prof.Camacho is honest and innovative does not make him ignorant; it simply makes him DIFFERENT. Now, would this be an issue if he were white? There are so many professors here who do not teach real history, yet they are accepted. Get away from being closed-minded and learn to see things from different perspectives.
Those who speak without having knowledge of the Mexican culture should seriously sit back and be quiet. Rather than criticizing him and his "****" views, one should keep an open mind and see where he is coming from. If not, than do not even bother to take a culture class...you're just pretending to be interested.
He is one of the best teachers i have taken. You learn a lot about history that a white person like me would not know take his class its great
chls 319
He goes on these rants, but just show up..write what you think he wants to hear and you'll get an "A"....I didn't agree with a lot of what he said....He had us listen to George Lopez tapes...great..that really helped me understand my people a little bit better...NOT...don't worry he's easy just dont question what he believes or he'll chew you out..
This guy is an easy and interesting teacher.Yeah his test are easy but some info is interesting. He is always late so never stress about getting early. If you want an A then take this class.
Hist 173
He's a nice guy but has some racial overtones. No need to go to class. Tests are on common sense; you know it or you don't. When taking the tests go in with the approach that Anglo Saxons are wrong and you'll do well. If you talk to him outside of class or need any help...he'll gladly help you.
Basically spent the entire semester talking about Mexico when we are an American History class. Mentions facts but trails off to talk about his interpretation of history and his political and racial views. if you want an easy grade just show up to lecture or if you just to see a waste of students money take this class.

****, ****, ****. A phd should not give this guy the right to teach. He is sloppy, unorganized, and if you want to take lecture notes, good luck cause hes all over the place
Basically this class seems like his outlet for him to be rasicst. The class is a joke..he just likes to rant. I got a C in the class and had no idea why..never gave back any work. No guidance on any of the papers. Sometimes a in class paper would be canceled just because he wanted to talk instead of do an assimate after we had all prepared!!!

Fist off, he is extremely intelligent. But after a while I got the impression that he doesnt like white people very much.

Three boaters were rescued near the Charleston harbor Saturday morning.
Coast Guard officials say the boaters radioed in for help around 7 a.m. after their boat began taking on water. The Coast Guard says the boaters discovered a hole near the back of the boat.
A Coast Guard Cutter from Florida was in the same area as the distressed boaters and assisted with the rescue, along with Charleston-based crew. After the flooding was under control, the boat was towed back into shore.
Once back on land, the three boaters declined medical treatment.

It's time for dialogue between Rwandan and Congolese people of like mind to finally end the 16-year war between our two armies and their various ancillary or surrogate militias. The vast majority of both of our people need democracy, political space, economic opportunity and a common share in their countries' resource wealth.

Throwback Thursday: The BTR Boys - Then and Now!
With two albums and two tours under their belts in just over two years, it's safe to say the Big Time boys have made it, well, to the big time! It seems like only yesterday when the show officially premiered (on January 18th, 2010). Since then, they've gone on the 'Better With U' tour, recorded two more seasons of the show, and are currently on their 'Big Time Summer Tour'. Phew! Time flies when you're in Big Time Rush!
But for this week's Throwback Thursday, we thought it'd be fun to see how much Logan Henderson, Kendall Schmidt, Carlos Pena, and James Maslow have changed over the course of their sky-rocketing careers. Here's what the guys looked like back in 2010! Notice any differences? James' long hair? Logan's baby face? Awww! So adorable!
And here's what they look like now! What do ya know, the boys still look hip as ever (as you could've guessed)...but with a few updates. James' highlights and long locks are a thing of the past, and Kendall and Carlos gave themselves a tidy trim too. And even though these guys look great no matter what the year, we dig their grown-up (and gelled up) look! How about you?
Oh, and speaking of hair gel, check out our Throwback Thursday clip below from one of the first Big Time Rush episodes ever!
James sure does love his hair products, and he's gonna need some after that splash! The boys have definitely come a long way since their Nick debut, and they're only getting bigger and better. Don't forget to check in for our exclusive updates from the 'Big Time Summer Tour', and as always, keep Rushing!

1st-5th grades
GODQUEST Bible Adventure Workshops is a Bible study designed exclusively for Trinity to meet the needs of our own 1st through 5th grade kids! In GODQUEST, the children work on key themes and concepts of a particular Bible story for a period of several weeks. This allows the children time to dig deeper into the meaning of the story learning how to apply it's principles to their own lives. Each week, the children rotate to a different workshop. While the main objectives of the study remains constant in each of the workshops, the children get the chance to explore the same story several different ways! Some of the kid-friendly workshops offered over the course of the year include....ART, DRAMA, MUSIC, GAMES, COMPUTERS, COOKING, SCIENCE, STORYTELLING, VIDEO & MORE!
Our Program Overview
The GODQUEST morning begins at 9:30 in Classroom B/C with all the children joining together for 15 minutes of worship time. The format follows Trinity's Sunday church service schedule and the fourth/fifth graders are encouraged to play an active role in this part of the program.
The children then break into the color group they have been assigned to for that unit of study (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow) and head off to work in one of four different workshops where hands-on learning takes place. Teaching teams of two adults are assigned to help facilitate each workshop for the entire length of the unit of study.
At the end of each unit of study and after each color group has had a chance to "rotate" through all four workshops, the children meet together as a large group for a fun review activity that reinforces what was learned.
GODQUEST leaders bring all the children back to Classroom B/C to be picked up by parents after first service is over.
Over the year, the children earn points that they will be able to use at a year-end auction/party. Points are awarded for: 1) attendance; 2) bringing Bibles; 3) memorizing the key verse that accompanies each study; and 4) giving a weekly offering that helps support two WorldVision children (.25cents suggested, any amount is fine).
Periodically, the children will be encouraged to "go the extra mile" and memorize a special QUEST verse for additional points. The QUEST verse is always more challenging so your child will need your support and encouragement at home. Each child can work at his/her own pace to complete the QUEST verse anytime throughout the year.
Our Current StudyThe Great Commission
April 27 - May 25
This rotation will focus on the last four verses of Matthew's Gospel which are called the Great Commission. These final instructions from Jesus before His ascent into heaven are written to the remaining eleven disciples and include a plan for His future followers. By studying His last words, the children will develop a deeper understanding that we are all called by Jesus to be His disciples and that He is, indeed, with us now and "always, to the end of the age."

Change Templates Dynamically in WPF
WPF has the flexibility to modify the look of your controls dynamically at runtime with just a few lines of code. Take a look at Figures 1 and 2 and you will see two different views of the same list box and data. To accomplish this, you simply need to setup two different resources of XAML code that you can switch between at runtime.
Figure 1: More detail
Figure 2: Less detail
The Basic Form and the Data
This XAML form uses an XML file to fill in the ListBox control with the product data. There is a folder called \Images where the pictures for the various products are located. Below is a fragment of the XML file that contains the product data.
<ProductName>PDSA .NET Productivity Framework</ProductName>
An XmlDataProvider control is used to load this file and supply the data for the list box. The XAML code shown below is the setup of this XmlDataProvider. This XmlDataProvider is located within the Window.Resources section of this WPF Window.
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="xProducts"
XPath="Products/Product" />
As you can see in the above code the Product.xml file is located in the root of the project. You use the XPath attribute to read to the node level where the actual data is within the XML file. Then you will be able to specify the element name of where the data is for displaying in the list box.
Create the XAML Templates
The next items in the Window.Resources section of this WPF Window are the <DataTemplates>. There are two data templates created as resources in this window. One has a key of "tmplMore" and one has a key of "tmplLess". Below is the XAML code that is used to create the list box that looks like Figure 1. You can see the use of a Horizontal StackPanel control, and an Image control as the first control within that StackPanel.
<DataTemplate x:Key="tmplMore">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Margin="8"
Source="{Binding XPath=Logo}"

Notice the data binding of the Source property of the image and the Content properties of the two labels. The Binding uses XPath attribute to signify the name of the element within the XML file. Remember that the XmlDataProvider has the first part of the XPath query, while each Binding is the element where the data is located that will be displayed in the list box.
The next data template created within the Window.Resources section has the key of "tmplLess" and looks like the XAML below. You can see that the Image control is missing from this template.
<DataTemplate x:Key="tmplLess">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

In the WPF Window is the definition of the list box control shown in the XAML listing below. Notice that the ItemsSource attribute is set to bind to the xProducts XmlDataProvider control. Also notice that the ItemTemplate is bound to the "tmplMore" data template resource. This is the default data template that is used when the window is first displayed.
<ListBox Margin="10,10,0,0"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource xProducts}}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource tmplMore}">
Switch Between the XAML Templates
You will write code in each button's click event procedures, shown below, to switch between the two XAML templates. In each event procedure you create a variable to refer to a DataTemplate object. You then use the FindResource method of the current window to find the resource named either "tmplMore" or "tmplLess". Once you have the data template object you can assign that to the ItemTemplate property of the list box control.
One thing to note is that you should include error handling within this code because if the FindResource method does not find the resource, then it will throw an exception. I purposely left out the code for brevity in this example.
Visual Basic
Private Sub btnMore_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles btnMore.Click
Dim tmpl As DataTemplate
tmpl = DirectCast(Me.FindResource("tmplMore"), DataTemplate)
lstData.ItemTemplate = tmpl
End Sub
Private Sub btnLess_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles btnLess.Click
Dim tmpl As DataTemplate
tmpl = DirectCast(Me.FindResource("tmplLess"), DataTemplate)
lstData.ItemTemplate = tmpl
End Sub
private void btnMore_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
DataTemplate tmpl;
tmpl = (DataTemplate)this.FindResource("tmplMore");
lstData.ItemTemplate = tmpl;
private void btnLess_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
DataTemplate tmpl;
tmpl = (DataTemplate)this.FindResource("tmplLess");
lstData.ItemTemplate = tmpl;
In this article you learned to change templates on a list box control dynamically at runtime using the FindResource method. You simply need to create a couple of XAML templates that you will use to switch between the different views. You create these XAML templates in the Window.Resources section of the window. You give each template a unique name, and then write a little code to find each of the resources at runtime. Once you have located the appropriate resource, you assign it to the ItemTemplate property of the list box and WPF will change the look of the control instantly.
NOTE: You can download the complete sample code at my website. http://www.pdsa.com/downloads. Choose Tips & Tricks, then "WPF Change Templates" from the drop-down.
Good Luck With Your Coding,

Creating a Base Window Class in WPF
Unlike Windows Forms, there is no Visual Inheritance in WPF. Luckily you don't need visual inheritance as you can use User Controls to get a re-usable UI. There are times, however, when you want a base Window class so you can have common functionality in all your WPF windows. To accomplish this you can create a base class from which all your WPF windows can inherit. To use the base class you will need to make one simple change in both the XAML and in your code-behind class.
<Window> Element and Window Class
When you add a new Window to a WPF application it builds a .XAML file and a code-behind file. The XAML file has a <Window> element and the code-behind file has a partial class that inherits from "Window" or "System.Windows.Window" to be more specific. Notice the x:Class="<Namespace>.<ClassName>" syntax in the XAML (See Figure 1). This x:Class name attribute must have the same name as the partial class in the code-behind. At compile time, the .XAML file is converted into a partial class that has the same name as the name of the class in the code-behind and inherits from the name of the top level element in the XAML; in this case "Window".
Figure 1: The Window class and the inherited Window must match.
As long as these two items match the two elements in the partial class in the code-behind the compiler will be happy. If either of these two elements does not match, you will receive a compiler error.
Inherit from the Window Class
Now that you understand the basics of how the XAML and the code-behind are put together, you can now create a base Window class and modify the XAML and code-behind to use this new class.
If you wish to follow along with this article, create a new WPF application in Visual Studio. Add a new class to your project named WindowBase. Modify this newly added class to inherit from the Window class. Add the following Imports/using statements at the top of the WindowBase class.
using System.Windows;
Visual Basic
Imports System.Windows
The WindowBase class needs to inherit from the Window class by changing the code to look like the following:
using System;
using System.Windows;
namespace WpfApplication1
public class WindowBase : Window
Visual Basic
Imports System.Windows
Public Class WindowBase
Inherits Window
End Class
Modify the code-behind of the Window1.xaml file to inherit from the WindowBase class you just created. Your Window1 code-behind should now look like the following:
public partial class Window1 : WindowBase
public Window1()
Visual Basic
Class Window1
Inherits WindowBase
End Class
If you were to compile the WPF application right now, you will receive the error message "Base class 'System.Windows.Window' specified for class 'Window1' cannot be different from the base class 'WindowBase' of one of its other partial types." The reason is because while you changed the code behind to inherit from the WindowBase class, you need to change the XAML markup to reflect this same change.
The change you need to make is you need to modify the <Window> element to be <WindowBase>. However, <WindowBase> is not a part of any of the imported xml namespaces that are a normal part of the XAML markup. Thus, you need to add a namespace reference to the assembly that contains the WindowBase class. If you created a default WPF application project, the namespace you will add to the XAML is the following:
Once you have added this namespace with the prefix of "src" you can now change the <Window> element to <src:WindowBase>. Be sure you modify the closing </Window> element to </src:WindowBase>. The complete source code for the XAML is shown below.
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
Visual Basic
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
At this point you should be able to compile the application and everything should compile correctly.
Adding Functionality
Now that you have a base Window class you can add code to that class that can be used in all of your WPF Windows. Once piece of functionality you might need is to check if your Window is in design mode or runtime. Add the following property to your WindowBase class.
public bool IsInDesignMode
return System.ComponentModel.
Visual Basic
Public ReadOnly Property IsInDesignMode() As Boolean
Return System.ComponentModel. _
End Get
End Property
From within your Window that inherits from the WindowBase class you can test to see if you are in design mode or in runtime mode.
// Do Something
Visual Basic
If IsInDesignMode Then
' Do Something
End If
Another piece of code that might come in handy in your WPF windows is the ability to read a resource dictionary XAML file and load it into the Resources of the Window. Below is the code you would add to the WindowBase class to do this.
using System.IO;
using System.Windows.Markup;
public void OpenResourceDictionary(string fileName)
ResourceDictionary dic = null;
if (File.Exists(fileName))
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open))
dic = (ResourceDictionary)XamlReader.Load(fs);
throw new FileNotFoundException(
"Can't open resource file: " + fileName +
" in the method OpenResourceDictionary().");
Visual Basic
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Windows.Markup
Public Sub OpenResourceDictionary(ByVal fileName As String)
Dim dic As ResourceDictionary = Nothing
If File.Exists(fileName) Then
Using fs As New FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open)
dic = DirectCast(XamlReader.Load(fs), ResourceDictionary)
End Using
Throw New FileNotFoundException( _
"Can't open resource file: " & fileName & _
" in the method OpenResourceDictionary().")
End If
End Sub
When you wish to load a new resource dictionary file at runtime into your Window you may do so with some very simple code from within your Window.
Visual Basic
So, that is all there is to creating your own base Window class from which all your Window objects can inherit. There is a lot of functionality that you will want to make available to your Window classes. Creating a base Window class is a great way to expose this functionality. It just takes a little bit of tweaking to your XAML and your code-behind to get all this great functionality.
NOTE: You can download the complete sample code at my website. http://www.pdsa.com/downloads. Choose Tips & Tricks, then "WPF Window Inheritance" from the drop-down.
Good Luck With Your Coding,

RE: Charles Jackson Smith
I am not a descendant of Charles Jackson Smith. My husband is a descendant of the George Smith of Frederick County, Maryland. His descendant, Daniel Smith migrated to Stark County, Ohio where the family remained for a couple centuries. I don't see Charles Jackson Smith anywhere in the family tree. It doesn't sound like I can be of any help, but let me know if I can.

RE: Vinnie Bell Mills Morring
Vinnie is the daughter of George Washington Mills born 1869 and Fannie Elizabeth Gray born 1873, all are buried in Madison Co. Alabama. I did go and add her parents to her page. I don't know how your Robert Mills is connected to George. George's father is John Fletcher Mills born 1844 in TN died 1914. Might be a connection somewhere just got to keep looking.

I have corrected a typo in the posting I provided for you for members of the Ball family on several of the Ball posts. I had used the word "sisters" instead of "daughters" when referring to the daughters of B.L. and Sallie Indiana Hayes Ball. I left off Claude Ball, and he has been added to the corrected version.
If you are kind enough to make the correction or addition to the site, I would appreciate you using this version on the listing for those individuals buried in this cemetery who are listed below.
This is what it should have read. Several of these children are buried in the Shane Cemetery as well as BL's second wife, S.E. Ball and his first wife, Sallie.
Broomfield Leander (B.L.) Ball and his wife Sallie Indiana Hayes Ball, were married in Giles County, Tenn., March 2., 1873.

I see you have used my photo of Broomfield Leander Ball and his wife Sallie Indiana Hayes Ball (my ancestors) that I posted as though it is a photo of Ella Ball. This is a family photo that hung on the wall of Sallie and Broomfield's daughter's home until her death. It is now privately owned by my cousin. I shared this for accuracy, and now it is improperly linked. Broomfield Leander Ball was born March 5, 1851 and died Nov. 7, 1928. He married Sallie Indiana Hayes on March 2, 1873, in Giles County, Tenn., where he was born. Sallie was born in North Carolina in Dec. of 1854. She died Jan. 17, 1918. They had nine children. This photo of them was made the same day they had a family portrait made with all of their children, including my great grandmother, Cora. Please correct this.

I am not certain he is buried there. I would assume he was buried beside Marthat Pearl.
Since he died 1974, I know my Grandmother would have had the date put on the grave. She has be gone since 1990 and my
Mom passed on 2010. Had I known this was in question, I would have surely asked her before she passed. I will surely continue to
pursue this and if you know for a fact he is buried there, please let me know. This is the rest of his information.
I am his G Granddaughter by Annie Louise Thompson, my Mom was Jacquelyn Louise Brown.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- The man who lost the race for Bloomington mayor four years ago by a mere 15 votes is ready to hit the campaign trail again.
Tari Renner hosted an open house Wednesday night to celebrate the grand opening of his campaign headquarters on Main Street in Bloomington.
This may be the first time in Bloomington history a candidate has opened a headquarters. Renner says this facility is key to getting his message out there ahead of the April 9 election.
"It helps us keep visible, and if people want information they can come by, they can stop in, stop in and talk to me," Renner said. "And it also makes us all more productive, volunteers can meet here, it's a place to gather. So I think for all kinds of reasons, having a singular physical location is important."
Renner says the office is open from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, all day Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Renner faces Lex Green and John Hanson in the election.
