I'm trying to make a ListActivity with check boxes using one of the built in android layouts,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice. For background, I'm fetching the list in a private
AsyncTask, then calling the adapter like this:
listActivity.setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(listActivity,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, mDisplayList));
However when I run my code, the
ListView is displayed with
list_item.xml, which I'm using for all the other ListViews in my project. Any idea why this is happening?

Sharing Thoughts Bopping Around in My Head
My head seems about ready to burst from thoughts that have been bouncing around in my brain, so, I thought I'd let those thoughts out here.

It's Cat Fight — two new songs fight-it-out and your vote helps determine the winner! This evening at 6:00, Miranda Lambert's "Mama's Broken Heart" goes for its eighth win against Craig Morgan's new song, "More Trucks Than Cars."
Cat Country presented Dierks Bentley & Miranda Lambert, with special guest Rhett Thomas to Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on Saturday, January 26th. Check out some pics from the show!
***UPDATE with Jason's comments!
Over the past couple of weeks, you helped choose two Cat Country listeners to go on a blind date to the Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley concert at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.
When it comes to country concerts, I thought the Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley concert Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall
The Locked and Reloaded tour featuring Thomas Rhett, Dierks Bentley, and Miranda Lambert made a stop at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City Saturday night. The show was nothing short of a-w-e-s-o-m-e!
Joe Kelly broadcasted live from Purdy Auto at their new location on the White Horse Pike in Galloway! Listeners stopped by all morning to run our race to win tickets for Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley Concert at Boadwalk Hall in the first 5 rows! And the winners are...
Friday Morning, we're going to be doing the Cat Country Morning Show LIVE from Purdy Auto Group on the White Horse Pike in Galloway.
Miranda Lambert is always honest and upfront about her feelings, whether it's talking about her insecurities or dealing with devastating heartbreak -- or when she penned the emotional 'Over You' with her husband, Blake Shelton. That's why when she says she doesn't think something matters, we know she means it.
Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley will be rocking Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall Saturday night. Two Cat Country Listeners, who never met, will be watching the show, next to each other, in some prime seats.
It's confirmed! Miranda Lambert will perform at the 55th annual Grammy Awards!
Are you the Fastest Girl in Town? Then, we're looking for you! Even if you're not a female.....

|Chris Argyris.
|Maggiori informazioni:
"The landmark book Action Science introduced a revolutionary theory of Organizational inquiry that demonstrated ways to solve problems, enhance human development and learning, and promote individual, organizational, and social change. Now, Chris Argyris translates the powerful theoretical approach presented in that work into practical advice for researchers and managers." "Knowledge for Action presents a step-by-step description of how to assess an organization's capacity to learn, analyze the data, and design and implement effective interventions that help create a more dynamic and innovative organization. Argyris demonstrates how his proven research methods produce actionable knowledge - knowledge that tests the validity of the research methods themselves when used in day-to-day operations - and calls for a genuine partnership between professionals and researchers both to implement the research properly and to test its results in everyday life." "Using a detailed case study of a professional service organization, Argyris illustrates how to reduce counterproductive politics and implement change from the top down. Drawing from interviews with and observations of top management, he shows how to identify and correct defensive routines and political problems that occur in organizations. By presenting transcripts of actual discussions, the author reveals how previously "undiscussable" problems can be resolved and how adversarial relationships can be turned into productive partnerships. He includes checklists, charts, and scoring procedures that researchers and line managers can use to make lasting changes to the status quo."--Jacket.

I Hear You Roar
I never claimed you were arguing for the perfection of PCR. You claim him to be a libertarian (of sorts now that you have been made aware of his political beliefs) and a "great thinker". He is neither. I'm not surprised that you are so taken with him. The young are too inexperienced to see through PCR's BS.
The constant inappropriate laughing PCR puts forth in his interviews is clearly a defense mechanism to hide how completely devastated he is to see what has become of his once great country. Unfortunately, he absolves himself of any responsibility. A Keynesian is not someone to be admired. I'll admit, it took me some time to see through his facade. Have you read this book of his...
If not, read it and then tell me what you think of him. Economics is everything sister. If one is not right on that, then one is wrong on most everything.
I'm not assuming your gender. I know you're a woman. It's obvious. Women are incapable of admitting wrong. That's what gave you away.
I am glad to see a woman take an interest in the philosophies. You have much to learn. I'm here to help you in that endeavor, and not to get laid. That's why I'm treating you like a man.

Justin Bieber Surpasses Michael Jackson at the Moviesby Hilton Hater at . Comments
For those who thought it would never be appropriate to compare Justin Bieber with Michael Jackson, we have three words for you: never say never.
The 17-year old icon has set a new box office record with his first foray on to the big screen, surpassing the King of Pop in the process. Through yesterday, Bieber's Never Say Never has earned $72.2 million domestically, becoming the most successful concert-themed film of all-time in the United States.
Jackson's This Is It brought in $72.1 million.
Bieber will never catch MJ on a worldwide basis, however.
This Is It, which chronicled Jackson's final tour preparations prior to his June 2009 passing, has garnered an unfathomable $189.1 overseas. Bieber's biopic has only grossed $10.8 million outside America.
Another point of historical comparison: Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour earned $5 million internationally in 2008 and $65 domestically.
Honestly, I dont think there will be another King of music, period. For one thing, music tastes are too fractured nowadays;there's way too many genres and no way anyone nowadays could appeal broadly to the masses. Id like to think there would somehow be another, but I seriously doubt it.
Never Say Never
Never Give up your Dream
good for justin,but their is only one king of pop and that is michael jackson...he had that title then and he has that title now!!!
justin b. is the best n'i love u
i love Justin bieber i dream that we will meet and he will be my friend and help me through things.
@ courtney STFU wow . Always so defensive they are comparing SALES not the music or the people. As almost everyone knows, we are all individuals~ God does not compare us over the gifts he gave to us, so why would you . Dumbass remarks from a grown person. Not judging.Just saying.
Justin is good, but he will have to pick it up a little bit in order to mess with the King of Pops Stats...MJ forever!
I Think Justin Could Be As Great At MJ Was..:)
You know why..? Cause he Never says never..
way to go justin. you can go as far as you want-never say never

The first in Korean director Park Chan-wook's "vengeance" trilogy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is expertly crafted pulp with an overwhelmingly misanthropic outlook. Followed by Oldboy, which received a limited release in the U.S., and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, which just opened in Korea, the film confirms Park's mastery of a niche style of cinema that is glossy, morbid and childishly provocative. The three films are championed by some critics, but have yet to connect with audiences of any real size, either here or in Asia.
Told with a glacial pace and fractured time frame, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance begins with a letter written by Ryu (Shin Ha-kyun), a deaf-mute with dyed green hair who gave up art school to help pay his sister's (Im Ji-eun) medical bills. Unwilling to wait for a donor, Ryu resorts to black-market organ dealers to buy her a kidney. When he is double-crossed in a ghastly manner, Ryu's girlfriend Young-mi (Bae Doona) comes up with a plan. She and Ryu will kidnap Yoosun (Han Bo-bae), the daughter of factory owner Park (Song Kang-ho). A political crank, Young-mi sees the crime as a revolt against the class structure. Since Ryu has just been fired from Park's factory, he goes along with the scheme.
When she learns what her brother has done, Ryu's sister kills herself. Yoosun in turn is killed by a wandering spastic. Helped by the police, Park sets out to avenge his daughter. Meanwhile, Ryu and Young-mi seek revenge against the organ dealers. The final half-hour of the film is a bloodbath in slow-motion, with death served up by knife, baseball bat, car battery and bone saw.
Director Park has a tremendous visual style, distilling locations to their essentials and framing them with meticulous precision. But Park can't resist pushing too hard, splattering his canvas with rapists, thugs, abused children, indifferent cops, masturbators and palsied bystanders. Like Lars von Trier, he plays his victims for laughs. The director's curdled vision makes Sympathy, no matter how elegant it may look, a chore to sit through.
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance followed on the heels of JSA: Joint Security Area, a bona-fide hit that, apart from its sadistic streak, could have been released by a Hollywood studio. Park is after a different audience here, one that finds morality ironic and violence funny. As a result, watching Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is a lot like watching a precocious child pulling wings off a fly. Park is an undeniably talented filmmaker, but he has chosen to expend his energies on material that is clearly beneath him.

Trains, planes, and automobiles are going to be packed with historians over the next two weeks – the Organization of American Historians kicks off its 2013 Annual Meeting in San Francisco this Thursday, April 11, and the National Council on Public History opens its conference in Ottawa next Wednesday, April 17.As always – even with the slow-motion jobs crisis in history and the humanities in general – young men and women crazy enough to pursue (or dream of pursuing) advanced degrees in history will flock to the conferences for the first time, with starry-eyed hopes of meeting the rock stars in their fields, making connections (hopefully of a non-scandalous nature), presenting their first paper in front of an academic audience, or maybe even closing the deal on that juicy tenure-track position (after all, the phone interview went really well!).

Imran's Underplay
There are two ways of being in news, one is over play of your own self and the other is underplayed. Imran has actually chosen the second option. In a recent public appearance, Imran was all praises about Randir's looks and acting Skills. 'Ranbir is a amazing actor with attractive looks. Infact he is far better than me. I don't like the way I enact a situation. I don't even watch my films'. I wonder if Imran hates him so much and thinks that he is such a bad as an Actor, then why is he even acting in films.
When asked about his steamy scenes in upcoming film 'Delhi Belly' the actor replied'oh! really? Are the scenes steamy? We did not found so? I am happy that the film is making news much before its release.'
I am curious to know one thing, what would be Imran's newlywed wife Avantika's reactions if he gives same kind of a answer to her?

Citrix Netscaler and SSL3 "poodle" exploit
Earlier today, Google published a article regaring how hackers can exploit a vulnerability in the SSL 3.0 protocol. Which you can read more about here –> http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.no/2014/10/this-poodle-bites-exploiting-ssl-30.html
You can also read more about the specific attack in detail here –> https://www.openssl.org/~bodo/ssl-poodle.pdf
Microsoft recommends that you disable SSL 3.0 using Group Policy on Windows Computer, since it is by default enabled, you can read more about it here –> https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/3009008.aspx
UPDATE::: Citrix has added a article on this exploit as well –> http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX200238
Citrix Netscaler we can be fore flexible. For Netscaler Gateway we can define which type of SSL profiles or protocols which are going to be enabled for the session. We can create a new front-end SSL profile which we can attach to the Netscaler Gateway. Front end policies are used when a client is connecting to a vServer
Here I define that TLSv1 is enabled, and that the client cannot use SSLv3. (This is a screenshot from a VPX) and therefore TLSv1.1 and 1.2 cannot be enabled for this profile, and by default Citrix Receiver only supports TLS1 not the newer versions.
After I created the protocol I can bind it to a Gateway vServer
Now If I have other load balanced vServer I can also disable SSL for these vServers, but it is important to check if the clients that are connecting actually support TLS.
NOTE: I have not verified that this works for most browsers but I verified that my client can connect to the gateway vServer using TLS and not SSL3.
Netscaler Gateway and content switching
today is the day! Citrix annonced earlier today a new enhacement release for Netscaler Gateway which allows us to use Netscaler Gateway together with Content Switching.
This means that we can have a Gateway vServer together with content switching policy. So when we create a Netscaler gateway together with content switching we need to define content switching policies. For instance if we have the vServer gateway 10.0.0.1 and we have two content switching policies for the URLS /zm/ and /xm/ will point to a load balanced vServer. Others urls which are not being catched by a content switching policy will be redirected to the Gateway vServer.
So the content switching rules are checked first, before it goes on with session policies for the gateway vServer.
Now another thing that is cool with this release is that it supports SSO to RD solutions.
So this is the new screen when we create a new vServer.
We have the RDP info setup directly here. And we can also define CS policy bindings. So I can add a new content switching policy and add it to the vServer
And as I mentioned these rules will be evaluated before session policies.
But note that this is an enhacement build, and should/can be used for testing you can read more about the e versions here –> http://blogs.citrix.com/2013/03/29/citrix-access-gateway-demystifying-the-e-releases/
You can download the new build from citrix downloads here —> https://www.citrix.com/downloads/netscaler-adc/virtual-appliances/netscaler-vpx-release-105e.html
Software defined Storage? Dell's got you covered
Earlier I've discucced a bit on Software defined storage and how this is an growing market with new vendors appearing all the time. Some of the concept behind SDS is the ability to move features that have previously only been available to the hardware solutions into the software stack. http://msandbu.wordpress.com/2014/05/20/software-defined-storage-and-delivering-performance/
Now as I mentioned there are a lot of different vendors here, some focus on delivering high performance, some on delivering adequate I/O on commodity hardware, some on flexibility, and many in between.
So what do we choose ? Since there are so many different vendors here it might be a hard choice to choose one over the other. The big question is what do I need ? Do I need to run big OLTP databases running on an average 200,000 IOPS, do I need to have a hyper-v cluster setup using commodity hardware in order to have a low cost on my Storage? Do I have existing Vmware infrastructure that I want to improve my IOPS on ? Looking to buy new hardware to have next generation VDI platform ? Do I have a bunch of different backend NAS / DAS and SAN I want to pool into a large unit of storage?
So the question is what do I have, what do I want and where do I need to go
And as the title mentiones, when you are looking for a new solution/ platform for software-defined storage, well then Dell's got you covered.
Dell is one of the few hardware vendors who is certified for most of the different SDS solutions such as.
VSAN: http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=vsan
Storage Spaces: http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/results.aspx?&chtext=&cstext=&csttext=&chbtext=&bCatID=1642&cpID=16445&avc=79&ava=0&avq=0&OR=1&PGS=25&ready=0
EVO: RAIL http://www.vmware.com/products/evorail
Dell also has a strategic partnership with Nutanix (which is going to be Dell hardware shipping with Nutanix Software) called the XC-series
Also Dell has partnership with both Nexenta and Atlantis
Dell has also included a partnership with SanDisk in 13th generation servers which allows for simple SSD tiering on servers –> http://www.sandisk.com/about-sandisk/press-room/press-releases/2014/sandisk-das-cache-software-now-available-for-next-generation-dell-poweredge-servers/
So Dell has many different SDS options on their solutions, and also their SC-series, Equallogic, Compellent for running traditional workloads.
Veeam Endpoint backup free
Today at the VeeamON conference, they announced a new tool called Veeam Endpoint Backup free. This tool which will ship H1 next year http://www.veeam.com/blog/announcing-veeam-endpoint-backup-free.html. Allows us to take backup of physical servers, computers, laptops and such.
It can integrate with existing Veeam repositories or to a NAS share. The best part it of course that it is going to be free!
Stay tuned as the preview comes later in November, but this allows us to lastly do backup av Physical servers in a Veeam enviroment without the need to buy more licenses.
Netscaler masterclass presentation Oktober 2014
Today I presented on the Netscaler masterclass on the subject, System Center and Netscaler and here is my presentation –> https://www.slideshare.net/secret/uSy62iG3eeoaFY
My talk consisted about using the different integrations between System Center and Netscaler, primarly on
* Virtual Machine Manager and Netscaler (Using the load balancer extention to deploy load balancing rules for service templates)
* Operations Manager and Netscaler (How to setup monitoring for Netscaler and use it together with Distributed Applications)
* Orchestrator and Netscaler (How to setup automation tasks against Netsacler using the NITRO SDK)

MVP another year for Enterprise Client Management
I received an email today, saying that I am MVP for another year. I am honored since this represents many of the elite it-pros all around the world
Also on the same day, Microsoft released vNext previews of Windows Server and System Center also Windows 10. Alot of documentation has been released, but remember its a preview (alpha or beta stage)
But it can be downloaded from MSDN for those who have access there, I will add another blogpost when I have more information about the different releases.
Using Netscaler Application firewall to protect against ShellShock
With the recent announcement of the ShellShock vulnerability many vendors have done a great job with coming with patching / fixes to close the vulnerability. Citrix has released an knowledge article which shows what Citrix products are affected here –> http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX200217
But! Citrix has also released an update to AppFirewall signature to include fixes to services which are exposed via Netscaler. For instance if we have an load balanced service which is load balanced via Netscaler, and the services running in the back are affected or vulnerable we can use AppFirewall to protect them from the attack.
First we need to update the signature files (Citrix released an update yesterday) (Update version)
Then we can see that the new signature files include fixes for shellshock.
The actions are by default set to block. So when creating an appfirewall policy we can bind this to an particular vServer or URL.
Important to set signature action to block
But note that these rules only apply to services that are exposed via the Netscaler, and not the netscaler itself. Refer to the document which is posted above.
System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2 CU3
Today Microsoft released CU3 version of ConfigMgr 2013 R2, and there are some minor bugfixes but there is also one important new change here!
That is the ability to define allowed Management Points for a client to communicate with,
This cumulative update introduces a new registry key on clients that will restrict which management point (MP) a client can communicate with. This can be useful in environments with multiple MP's in different forests, and the clients are only able to communicate with a subset of them. Setting the registry value to only those MP's reachable by the client can improve overall efficiency. The new registry value is AllowedMPs, a REG_MULTI_SZ (multi-string) type under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CCM
Each entry is the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the management point(s) with which the client is allowed to communicate. This value does not affect the selection of any other site systems such as distribution points, software update points, etc.; it only affects the primary site MP selection. Note: Once defined, there is no "fallback" or other method for clients to communicate with other MP's. It is not intended for mobile clients."

New book project, Azure IaaS free ebook
This is something that I have been thinking about for some time, since I have written two books for publisher in the last year. Now and I saw that when writing the books that much of the stuff I wrote about became outdated pretty fast after the books were released.
So therefore I came up with an idea, what if I wrote it as an ebook and was responsible for the distribution myself ? This would make it alot easier to keep it up to date since I didn't need to have a publisher to keep "control" over the source, and since it is only in ebook form I can easily update the content to keep it "up-to-date"
So therefore I present my current ebook project,
Azure – IaaS Getting started
this book will cover the basics about the most, but will deep dive into the IaaS features of Azure. I am about 20% in the writing process so it is not ready for release yet, since I'm only one guy.
If you are above average skilled in Azure and want to contribute to the writing process, please get in contact with me on email@example.com my whole goal with this book is to make it easier to get the "whole" picture of Azure and having up to date content.
So stay tuned for the release!
Pricing difference between vCloud Air and Microsoft Azure
Now lately I've seen alot of blogpost talking about how cheaper one of them is compared to the other. Now most of the time I don't read them as much, but this time I've decied to write a post about it to do a comparison.
Note I am not being prejudice even if I have a MVP logo, I'm trying to get a clear picture of what the pricing actually is. If anyone has any feedback to this post I would really appriciate getting feedback in the comment field below.
For the comparison I'm going to show difference between Virtual Private Cloud offering from Vmware and Virtual Machines from Microsoft Azure.
First of Virtual Private Cloud offering from Vmware is more of a cloud container you gain access to a set of resources and you define yourself what you want to do with those resources, while Microsoft Azure is based upon virtual machines, you have a predefined size based upon the template.
So let us define for this example that we have 5 virtual machines with 2 GHZ each and 4 GM RAM. (Note there are no sizes in Azure that are the equal size so I'm going with Medium based instances which have about 3,5 GB RAM and 2x 1,6 GHZ) and I'm only comparing with the information that I can find on the vendors websites.
First of Virtual Private Cloud from VMware has an 99.9% SLA for virtual machines
Microsoft Azure has 99,9% SLA for single virtual machines and 99,95% for multiple role instances. (NOTE: f you deploy a single VM instance within an availability set, you will receive no advanced warning or notification of platform maintenance)
Other features:
The base configuration from Virtual Private Cloud from Vmware contains
10 GHz
vCPU 20 GB vRAM
2 TB of Standard Storage
10 Mbps of Bandwidth (this is official bandwidth for connections out of the data center)
2 Public IP Addresses + support
This is for the price of €727 a month. So for this I can configure 5 virtual machines with 2 GHZ and 4 GB of RAM each and with ~400 GB of disks each.
From Azure I can configure 5x Medium virtual machine instances (Linux based since I don't want a licensing discussion here)
This will cost about €332.44 a month, and for 2 TB of storage for page blobs is about €74.47 a month. (Locally redundant) + Support which is €223.41 a month (Note that since the support is so different from the vendors, I will choose to exclude it from the price comparison) Public Ip addresses are given from a cloud service and can be one or more adresses. I also need to add storage transactions since all IO to the Blob storage is considered a transaction. So 200 million storage transactions each month equals to €7,45 a month
I also need to define bandwidth usage, for Azure I can define the bandwidth usage to for instance 100GB which costs about €8.49 a month(Note that this bandwidth cost is for US + Europe egress) (Vmware does not charge for data transfer). This sums up to €422,5 euro a month.
Performance: Principled Technologies did a test on virtual machine instaces on both Azure and Vmware and they concluded that the CPU performance is about 2x the performance in vCloud compared to Azure (Note that this is pr vCPU)
Which means that if we have 10 GHZ in vCloud (We would need atleast 20 GHZ in Azure to have the similiar performance CPU-wise)
|vCloud Air
10 GHz
vCPU 20 GB vRAM
2 TB of Standard Storage
10 Mbps of Bandwidth
|5x Medium Instances =
2 x 1.6GHz CPU * 5 = 16 GHZ
2x 3,5 GB RAM * 5 = 17,5 GB
2 TB Page blobs
200 Million storage transactions
100 GB Bandwidth usage
Cloud services public adresses
|€644 each month
|€422,85 each month
Note that this price for Azure is if we use the virtual machines 24/7, we use all 2 TB of storage, we use all the 100 GB bandwidth. If we do not use this much the cost each month will be lower. NOTE: All medium instances have 200mbps bandwidth)
Now, both of them have other options for prepaid 12 months options since this is a cheaper option I going to add them to the option in the table.
|Prepaid 12 Month Vmware
|Prepaid 12 Month Azure
|€8,203 (Where €8724 is normal) cost
|€3805 (€5074 is the normal cost)
Its clear to see that Azure is cheaper over the long run, since it has a really good discount when buying for certain amounts prepaid. http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/commitment-plans/
But it does not perform as well as Vmware. If we were to compare performance/cost we would have another calculation. Since as I mentioned we would need atleast twice the amount of CPU power to be able to have the same amount of performance and in this case I would need to add another virtual machine instance.
|vCloud Air
10 GHz
vCPU 20 GB vRAM
2 TB of Standard Storage
|6x Medium Instances =
|€644 each month
|€489.33 each month
This takes the CPU/memory calculation in the mix but it does not say anything about storage performance. Note that Azure Datadisks for medium instances have max 500 IOPS. (While a storage account can have up to 20.000 IOPS) and the maximum size of a blog disk is 1 TB. And Medium instance can have up to 4 Datadisks and therefore a max amount of 2000 IOPS.
Now as I see it, we can't compare these two solutions equally. So it is not an apple vs apple comparison. vCloud has the flexibility that you "purchase" a bunch of resources and you can form and mold them as you want. It has better performance since it is mostly a IaaS platform, while on the other hand you have Azure which has different forms and shapes that you can purchase depending on what the customers needs.
Also important to note that vCloud Air (Is as I have read about) that it is priced upon recourses you buy, not what you use so If you have bought 10GHZ and only use 50% you still need to pay the same amount, while Azure is based upon what you use.
Also the options around the ecosystem is also completely different. So I appriciate any feedback here! If I have done a wrong calculation or if statements are wrong.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Aug. 6, 1940. v R. D. SMITH.
SELF-IGNITING FUEL FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM Original Filed May 18, 1935 INVENTOR Patented Aug. 6, 1940 UNITED STATES SELF-IGNITING FUEL-FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM Raymond D. Smith, Easton, Conn.
Application May 18, 1933, Serial No. 671,619 Renewed December 22, 1939 1 Claim.
This invention relates broadly to apparatus for controlling automatically the flow of fluids, gases, or other medium or fuel whether or not the apparatus incorporates electrically operated parts, 5 and specifically relates to certain details of controls for governing the flow of a combustible fuel to a burner or burners that may be used for heating air, water or the like employed in the heating of homes or in the cooking of-foods or in any process utilizing heat or the medium whose flow is to be so controlled.
A possible use for the present improvements resides in their application to the problems of equipping a domestic gas cooking range with automatic time and temperature controls which in practice gives rise to the need of an associated automatic safety control which will operate to shut off the supply of gas or other fuel automatically in consequence of the extinguishment, accidentally or otherwise, of the so called pilot flame commonly employed as the means for igniting a main burner when the gas is turned on through automatic control.
Among the problems above mentioned is the desirabilityof disposing the pilot flame in reliable igniting relationship to the main bumer yet so removed from the zone of the heat generated by the flame of the main burner that a thermostatic element may be disposed in heat sensitive relationship to the pilot flame while being operatively independent of and remote from heat sensitive relationship to the zone of heat generated by the main burner. Such thermostat may then be reliably utilized to efiect mechanical 35 action such as the latching or unlatching of certain parts associated with a time controlling mechanism and dependent upon whether the thermostatic element is receiving heat generated solely by the burning of the pilot flame. In some instances the operative effect of the thermostat which is'sensitive to the pilot flame ,may be to automatically shut oil the supply of gas to the main burner at any time it is deprived of the heat from the pilot flame thus requiring that the pilot flame at all times be burning in order to secure any supply of gas to the main burner.
Particular details of the present improvement concern the provision of an operating connection between the thermostat which is located close to the pilot flame and the automatic mechanism to be affected by the thermostat when such mechanism is positioned at some distance from the thermostat for convenience of use as a control for the gas range.
Referring to the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 shows an ordinary domestic cooking range equipped with a time mechanism control unit incorporated within a system of piping for leading gas to the burners of the range which system also includes a thermostat safety control associated with a pilot flame to prevent the accidental escape of unignited gas.
Fig. 2 shows in central vertical section and on an enlarged scale an advantageous arrangement of safety pilot flame and thermostatic mecha- 1o nism which may act upon the valve of a time controlling unit such as indicated in Fig, 1.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view similar to Fig. 1 indicating a modified form of safety pilot equipment.
Fig. 4 shows a horizontal open ended casing partly surrounding the pilot flame and around which can be coiled a closed fluid tube such as that of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the spirally coiled fluid tube of Fig. I removed from the cage of the pilot flame.
, Fig. 1 pictures the end portion of a gas range equipped with a time control unit I04 which may be constructed as more completely illustrated and described in my U. S. Patent No. 1,910,450, issued May 23, 1933, incorporating the time controlled valve l8 supported on and controlling the flow of gas throughthe supply pipe I05 to the temperature regulating valve I59 whence the gas is delivered to the burner l0l of the lower oven or broiler compartment 2 which is separated from the upper oven compartment I00 by the usual sheet metal partition H3. The valve I8 is designed to be manually operated by the timing mechanism of the unit I04 which will hereinafter be more fully described.
In Fig. 1 is also shown operatively associated with the time and temperature control devices a safety pilot flame device located in igniting relation to the burner of the gas range for certain novel advantages over former methods of arranging a pilot flame to ignite the oven burner of a gas stove. It has formerly been the practice to locate an igniting pilot flame burner within the oven or broiler compartment of the range and even aside from the new problems presented by the use of such flame in connection with a safety acting thermostat, a pilot flame so located is commonly known to become accidentally ex-, tinguished from the partial explosive action of igniting the enclosed oven burner when there is any appreciable delay in the unignited gases reaching the pilot flame after gas has been turned on to the main oven burner.
Other undesirable results of placing an igniting pilot flame within a walled-in compartment of the range reside in the deterioration of thepilot flame burner from its subjection to the heat zone of the main oven burner, and in the'lack of visibility of a pilot flame so located that it cannot readily be seen whether the pilotflame is actually burning or may have been extinguished by some temporary condition of low gas pressure in the mains. Accidents from explosion of unignited or belated ignition of gas in the walledin compartment of a gas range are common occurrences and one of the recognized dangers of the handling of a gas range in the home,
I, therefore, have located the pilot flame I09 entirely outside of any walled-in compartment associated with the oven burner which requires therefor the provision of novel and effective means for enabling such pilot flame to ignite the oven burner when positioned so remote therefrom. For this purpose I provide the flame protective cage 20, supported by a bracket M to encompass the pilot flame I09. A hood-like conduit 22 extends from the cage through the compartment wall 23 which wall is shown as partly broken away. The conduit 22 flares at its lower end and is suitably disposed and formed above oven burner IBI' to receive and collect unignited gases arising from said burner and to direct them and lead them and deliver them to a point within the cage 20 into igniting proximity to the pilot flame I09 substantially in the presence of free air whereupon these unignited gases rising from burner IDI' flash back by flame propagation through the conduit 22 and quickly and reliably ignite the oven burner IN. I am thus enabled to gain the advantages of being able easily to detect at all times whether the igniting pilot flame is burning before turning on the gas, and of locating the pilot burner entirely outside the zone of heat of the oven burner so that use can be made of the heat zone of the pilot flame alone to operate my safety thermostat unafiected by the heat of the main oven burner which otherwise would make this a diflicult if not impossible accomplishment. I gain the further advantage of relieving the oven from the heating effect of a permanently burning pilot flame. This was of no object prior to the introduction of time control to the domestic cooking of food, but under the modern practice of placing an uncooked meal in the range oven early in the day, and setting the clock or time controlled valve to automatically turn on the gas later in the day to start the cooking, even the temperature brought about by the heat of the pilot flame is highly objectionable in the range oven prior to the beginning of the cooking, because the foods having milk content or other temperature sensitive ingredients tend to deteriorate before their designed time for cocking begins. It thus becomes plain that it is of advantage to relieve the oven of any preliminary parts which enable rotations of the crank 30' to raise and lower the valve stem I40 of the valve I8 thereby respectively to open and close the valve at each successive half turn of the crank 30'. Trippable latch means are provided as a part of the pitman mechanism whereby at any time the valve is held open by the time mechanism and the pilot flame should become extinguished, the pitman will be tripped to cause it to extend its length as a means of closing the valve for safety purposes independently of the timing mechanism. These pitman parts include a U-shaped, upwardly disposed extension I secured rigidly to the valve stem I40 in each vertical leg of which is a slot like that appearing at I42 in the nearest leg in Fig. 2. A roller I43 has fixed thereto the upright thrust bars 40, the upper forked ends of which engage the crank 30 pivotally. An ex tension spring 4| connects roller I43 with crank 30 to maintain the thrust engagement of bars 40 against crank 30, and roller I43 is guided at each end for up and down movement in the slots 442 and its up and down movements as caused by successive half rotations of crank 30' are ordinarily accompanied by an equal up and down movement of the valve stem I40 because a bell crank latch 144 pivoted to the stem extension MI hooks over a pin-like extension of the roller I43 and holds the roller I43 from moving upward in the slots I42. A strong coiled spring I45 tends to expand lengthwise for causing a lengthwise separation of the roller I43 from its normal latched relation to the valve stem extension I4I thereby to increase the effective length of the pitman structure as a whole and so acts when latch I44 is disengaged from the projecting guide pin of the bell crank latch I44 to cause the compound pitman to elongate and close the valve if a pilot flame to which the thermostat is sensitive should become extinguished. The above described and other parts and functions of the valve operating -mechanism are fully disclosed in my said U. S.
Patent No. 1,910,450.
The thermodynamic device consists of a Sylphon or fluid-filled bellows I50 mounted at its bottom upon a frame shelf I5I through which extends the fluid tight conduit I52 which communicates with the sealed interior of the bellows thermostat I50 but which is itself sealed at its remote end and thereat placed in heat sensitive relationship to the igniting pilot flame or some part heated thereby. This may be accomplished by coiling the remote and sealed terminus of conduit I52 and supporting it within and at the top of cage 20, or the same might be wound about the pipe I53 which conducts gas to the safety pilot burner and hence becomes warmed by the heat of the safety pilot flame at points near the said pilot burner. Fig. 3 shows the safety pilot flame located within the oven 2 in position to directly ignite the oven burner I0! and shows the heat sensitive coil of conduit I52 outside said oven, the pilot burner pipe I53 running through the wallthereof. When the bellows I50 is expanded because of the fluid contained within conduit I52 being warmed by the burning of the pilot flame, the upright forked bar I54 of bel lows I50 is raised to hold the arm I55 in its full line position in Fig. 3 wherein the trip pin I55 carried at the free extremity of said arm is lifted out of possibility of engagement with the tripping extension of bell crank latch I44 on the pitman parts. But should the contained fluid of conduit I52 cool down from extinguishment of the pilot flame a partial collapsing of the bellows I5II would permit spring I51 to pull down on arm I55 and lower trip pin I56 to its broken line position in Fig. 2 wherein the bell crank pitman latch I44 will be tripped whenever it is in its uppermost, or valve-open position, thereupon effecting an automatic closure of the valve in case the pilot flame is extinguished and also baflling any attempts to manuallyopen the valve I8 by handle 99' .so long as trip pin I 56 is lowered as caused by a cool fluid in the conduit I52. In this case, each time the crank 30' attempts to pull the pitman upward as a whole and thus lift the valve stem to open the valve, the bell crank latch projection will encounter the trip pin I56 before reaching its uppermost position with the result that unlatching of parts I44 and I43 immediately occurs and the valve snaps closed under the impulse of spring I45. Relatching of parts I44 and I43 is always taken care of by a leaf spring I48 constantly urging latch I44 in clockwise direction in Fig. 2 except when overcome by the action of trip pin I56 for unlatching.
I claim: v
A pilot flame remote safety control embodying in combination with a pilot flame burner, means to define a heat zone warmed by the burning of said pilot flame, a fluid filled bellows arranged to expand and thereby produce mechanical movement .at a point remote from said pilot flame and having a portion of its fluid containing chamber extended into said heat zone of the pilot flame.

It's a sad day when 1.5 up is a cause for celebration, especially following several years of continuous growth in the region.
However, Elvia Campos, a chief number-cruncher with the Central Bank, told me that whether it's a recession sort of depends on how you crunch the numbers. Economic activity has not yet shrunk across the board, she said, and some sectors are actually seeing positive — albeit slower than last year — output growth and employment. Moreover, recession is near but not yet in full force, she said. (The Central Bank's words should be taken with a grain of salt, however, as Tico officials are loath to pronounce the "R" word.)

I have the following action method in my Tournament controller:
public ActionResult Edit(int id) {
EditTournamentViewModel viewModel = new EditTournamentViewModel {
Tournament = _tournamentService.GetTournamentByID(id),
TournamentDivisions = _divisionService.GetTournamentDivisions(id).ToList()
ViewBag.SportID = new SelectList(_sportService.GetSports(), "SportID", "Name");
ViewBag.CountryID = new SelectList(_countryService.GetCountries(), "CountryID", "Name");
return View(viewModel);
The two viewbag items are select lists which will be filled up. When I inspect the page with firebug the name of the SelectList for
ViewBag.SportID is
SportID, which is what I would expect. But I want the value that is selected there to be entered in the
SportID property of the
Tournament property in my viewModel. So the name should be
I don't understand how I can achieve this, I wasn't able to change the SelectList's name in Razor like this:

@Html.DropDownList("SportID", "Select a sport", new { name = "Tournament.SportID" } )
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(t => t.Tournament.Sport)
This is the code I have in my view:

@Html.DropDownList("SportID", "Select a sport")
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(t => t.Tournament.Sport)
A solution I could take is instead of having a
Tournament property in my viewmodel, I could copy over the individual properties and then use automapper but I would like to hear if there is a fix without having to do that (unless of course what I am doing is considered very bad practice).

Support for Marriage Equality in Hawaii Continues to Grow
August 12, 2013 by Tony Wagner, Western Regional Field Director
The majority of Hawaii voters support the right of same-sex couples to marry, according to a recent statewide survey of voters.
The poll, conducted by QMark Research, found that 54 percent of Hawaiians support marriage equality. Opposition has dropped to 31 percent, a six point decline since January.
In February, the State House Judiciary Committee failed to schedule a hearing on the marriage equality bill, a procedural hurdle that in effect stalled the bill for the previous legislative session.
Despite the temporary set back, HRC will continue its work alongside Hawaii United for Marriage, a strong coalition of local organizations, religious congregations, labor unions and businesses working together to secure marriage for loving, committed gay and lesbian couples.
Hawaii currently allows civil unions for same-sex couples, while 13 states plus the District of Columbia have full marriage equality.
To learn more about the fight for marriage equality in the Aloha State, visit HRC's Marriage Center.

At age six, Teddy Weatherford was working in the coal mines of Virginia. By his early 20s he was the toast of Chicago's jazz scene, rivaling Louis Armstrong and wowing Jelly Roll Morton with his piano talent. But when Weatherford left segregated America for the allures of Shanghai and Bombay, he set out on an adventure he hadn't imagined. The man they called "The Seagull" would become the globetrotting jazz king of Asia in the shadow of World War II, and provide the soundtrack for the last gasp of an empire.
Brendan I. Koerner presents the true tale of how a forgotten legend lived the American Dream by leaving it behind - and helped globalize music with a piano and a sharkskin suit.
Brendan I. Koerner is an award-winning journalist and the author of Now the Hell Will Start: One Soldier's Flight From the Greatest Manhunt of World War II (Penguin, 2008), which was optioned for film by Spike Lee. He is also a contributing editor at Wired, and contributor to Slate.com, The New York Times, and many other publications.

Artist Spotlight: Sara Swaty
In Swaty's series 'In Between & Outside,' gender is represented as both a fluid, relaxed, and creative expression as well as a more tense and exploratory transition.
Artist Spotlight: Paul Freeman
Small wonder that Freeman's top-notch male photography books sell out very quickly. His photography arouses and engages all the senses.
Artist Spotlight: Emlen Etting
Philadelphia Main Line society artist Emlen Etting was happily married, but he sure painted a lot of sailors.
Artist Spotlight: Jim French's Polaroids
Jim French, founder of Colt Studios, shows his early, unseen Polaroids that were part of the creative process in a fascinating new book.
Artist Spotlight: Darren Jones
Jones's dry wit is countered by the wistful messages found in his subtle work in "Eden's Remains".
Artist Spotlight: Alexander Deineka
These strapping lads and lasses were the Russian physical ideal. Deineka's provocative male nudes conflict with Russia's contemporary antigay views.
Artist Spotlight: John Koch
Koch's society paintings grow more charming as time passes, but his paintings of handsome nudes reveal a more intriguing point of view.
Artist Spotlight: Jon Uriarte
Uriarte's simply presented concept reveals much about gender identity and roles.
Artist Spotlight: Ephraim Moses Lilien
Perhaps only accidentally homoerotic, Lilien's pursuit of a handsome Jewish ideal manifested in beautiful art nouveau drawings of men.
Artist Spotlight: José Manuel Hortelano-Pi
Hortelano-Pi brings his earthy, human touch to ceramics, video, and social media.
Artist Spotlight: David Trullo
Trullo casts a wickedly humorous eye on the grand themes: religion, mythology, and fine art.
Artist Spotlight: Jamil Hellu
Hellu's series "Guardians of the Golden Gate" mingles cosplay, heroism, and self-expression in the City by the Bay.
Artist Spotlight: Brian Moss
Brian Moss is allowed into the inner sanctum of muscle culture to capture images after the posing stops.

SIA SNOW SHOW: New "Industry + Intelligence" seminar on January 28.
FSG LAWYERS: Represented Brixton in recent transaction with Altamont Capital.
Details on Industry Insight.
Surf Expo was booming on Friday, with crowded aisles and busy booths.
Several brand executives I spoke with said they were very happy with the number and quality of retailers that attended.
Hurley's Mark Simpson and Evan Slater.
"From a business standpoint, it's been extremely consistent," said Mark Simpson, Vice President of National Sales Specialty for Hurley. "We've been busy non-stop. It's been great."
Some said they were happy that although Agenda was happening at the same time in Anaheim, it didn't appear to hurt business in Orlando.
"With two competing trade shows at the same time, there was a chance that Surf Expo would not be as busy," said John Sherwood Vice President of Sales at Dwindle Distribution. "I'm very happy with the turnout.
John Sherwood at the busy Dwindle booth
"As you can tell," he said, gesturing to his booth, "we're busy. And I saw a lot of West Coast retailers here, too."
Like many companies, Dwindle also had a presence at Agenda, and divided up its team to handle both shows. John said his team at that show had told him Agenda was "really busy" too.
Snowy Lonsway, National Sales Manager at O'Neill Clothing, said while Thursday at Surf Expo was a bit slow, day two had been a nice surprise.
"It's been a busy show," he said. "We will support Surf Expo in the future. It's definitely worth it."
The only downside was having the show in the first week of January, he said.
Snowy Lonsway of O'Neill Clothing
Surf Expo Show Director Roy Turner said the trade show calendar this year in January was challenging, and Surf Expo had to live with those days because large shows from other industries are also using the convention center in January.
However, next year the January show will be in the second week of the month.
Roy said buyer attendance rose 9.2% vs. the previous January show. Buyers came from many states, including a nice contingent from the Mid-Atlantic north – New York, New Jersey, Maryland. And of course, the Carolinas and Florida, and other states, he said.
"We also picked up some international business that may have previously gone to competitors," Roy said.
