Pressed-Flower Plates
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
For a reception, brighten plain dinnerware with a sprinkling of cheerful blooms that coordinate beautifully with your centerpieces.
- Collection of pressed dried flowers (available at crafts-supply stores, floral shops, and online boutiques)
Step 1
Arrange the flowers (we used cosmos, larkspur, marigolds, and verbena) on chargers, then cover them with clear glass plates.
Step 2
Place cards, featuring a pressed bloom attached with double-sided tape, tie it all together. For maximum impact, we set our colorful floral motif against a white backdrop.

Donna Borneisen-Pusti 25 May, 2012
This is a wonderful idea and so simple. Poinsettias at Christmastime would make a stunning table setting with gold chargers. I'd even forgo the dried flowers and use small flags for holidays such as Memorial Day. Thanks so much for the inspiration.Reply

Connect With Students Where they Live.
Volunteer Now!
The purpose of the House Calls Program is to welcome first-year residence hall students to the UNCG campus community and provide them with an opportunity to interact with faculty members and administrators on a personal level. Research indicates that developing a relationship with a faculty or a staff member can have a significant impact on students' success and increase retention.
House Calls will take place on Monday, August 18, 2014, from 5:15 p.m.-7 p.m., including a dinner and brief volunteer orientation.
If you volunteer for this program, you will work with a UNCG colleague(s) visiting first-year students in one of the residence halls on campus. As a volunteer you will have an opportunity to do the following:
- Interact with 10-20 students in a residence hall setting. You will visit students in their residence hall room and have a brief conversation with them about transitioning to college and their first day of school. You will answer general questions about the University.
- Provide students with "a bag of success" to assist with their transition to the university.
- Have dinner with other volunteers. A salad and baked potato bar with dessert will be served from 5:15 p.m. – 6 p.m. in the Elliott University Center (EUC), Alexander Room. Volunteer check-in will begin at 5 p.m
- Hear a welcome from UNCG's new Provost, Dr. Dana Dunn.
- Participate in a brief orientation. During dinner, you will receive the necessary information and materials to prepare you for the House Calls experience.
Deadline for volunteer sign-up is Monday, August 11, 2014. For more information, contact HRL at 336-334-5636 or email@example.com.
Feedback from past volunteers:
"It was great when students felt comfortable opening up to me."
"I enjoyed watching the Provost as he greated all the students on Mendenhall First Floor."
"Two of the students on my list to visit were registered to take my section of BUS 105 the next day."
"It was just great fun to meet all of the students and hear a bit of their stories."

New Products & Services
February 1, 2014
As a first in the basic series of explosion-protected compact operator interfaces, this company is launching new panels for machine-oriented visualization featuring a sunlight-viewable touchscreen (photo). Even when installed outdoors and in bright daylight, the full-color 7-in. displays with widescreen format (800 x 480 pixels) remain easily readable throughout, thanks to an anti-glare coating that effectively reduces light reflections. Series 200 HMIs also offer a high degree of compatibility with the predecessor Falcon series (ET-/MT-65, ET-75 and ET-125), which makes a gradual changeover from the monochrome screens to the high-contrast color displays with touch capability much easier. As a standard, the new HMIs are fitted with the Windows Embedded Compact operating system, but are also available on request with an open OS to integrate proprietary software. They are highly flexible with their driver support for QNX, Linux and other systems. Connectivity to almost all major automation systems is also ensured. — R. Stahl HMI Systems GmbH, Cologne, Germany

Victory for Libertarians for Justice!
4 of the 7 candidates in the c-span covered debate are tough enough on terror to investigate the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
Only Root, Phillies, and Barr are too weak on terror to sign the Justice Pledge.
Hopefully, those three will explain why they are in the minority on this issue.
In liberty, with eternal vigilance,
Jim Duensing
The 2008 National Libertarian Convention is underway. Keep checking c-span for coverage. Their cameras are scheduled to at least be here in Denver during the Presidential Debate on Saturday evening.
Check back to this blog for convention updates.
Since www.LibertariansforJustice.org was brought online, I have received several questions from lifelong Libertarians about how "9/11 Truth" fits into Libertarian politics.
And, I have received several questions from "Truthers" about why we're not called Libertarians for 9/11 Truth.
The answers are simple.
Dear Fellow American,
More than 6 years after the terrorist attacks on September 11th, those responsible have still not been brought to justice. And, the 9/11 Commission did not even look at the unprecedented collapse of building 7.
Usama Bin Laden has not been apprehended and the FBI has no hard evidence linking him to the attacks.

The Cumato (Cucumber-Tomato)
Status: UndeterminedThe Alvin Sun-Advertiser reports on a rare hybrid found by a local gardener a tomato-cucumber. They're calling it a 'Cumato':
Mario Rodriguez may have made history. According to Rodrigues, he found a specimen on a cucumber plant that was situated close to his tomato vines, Rodriguez plucked the interesting vegetable that looked like a normal tomato (right) but was attached to one of his cucumber plants. He has yet to name the hybrid and there is apparently no record of such a plant.Unfortunately the photo of Rodriguez holding the cumato is pretty bad. You can't see any details of the rare vegetable. I also want to know if he's cut it open. What's inside of it? Is it simply a tomato, or is it a combination of both? For now I'm skeptical of this. (Thanks to 't' for the link)

The term MENA is an acronym referring to the Middle East and North Africa region. The term MENA covers an extensive region, extending from Morocco to Iran, including all Middle Eastern and Maghreb countries. The term is roughly synonymous with the term the Greater Middle East.
The MENA acronym is often used in academic, military planning, disaster relief, and business writing.[1][2]
Due to the geographic ambiguity and Eurocentric nature of the term "Middle East", many people prefer use of the term WANA (West Asia and North Africa)[3] or the less common NAWA (North Africa-West Asia).[4]
The population of the MENA region at its least extent is about 381 million people, about 6% of the total world population.
List of countries[edit]
MENA has no standardized definition; different organizations define the region as consisting of different territories. The following is a list of commonly included countries and territories.[1][5]
Sometimes also included in broader definitions:[6][7]
The MENA region has vast reserves of petroleum and natural gas that make it a vital source of global economic stability. According to the Oil and Gas Journal (January 1, 2009), the MENA region has 60% of the world's oil reserves (810.98 billion barrels (128.936 km3)) and 45% of the world's natural gas reserves ( 2,868,886 billion cubic feet (81,237.8 km3) ).[8]
As of 2011, 8 of the 12 OPEC nations are within the MENA region.
In April 2013, the International Monetary Fund created a new analytical region called MENAP (Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan), which adds Afghanistan and Pakistan to MENA countries.[9]
In response to a shift in economic reality the term MENAT has become widely used by businesses in the MENA region to formally include "Turkey" in the list of MENA countries.

Rep Power:
I wholeheartedly agree with T34C. There should be a devoted thread to screwing around so that everyone's not on Channel 16, so to speak. Bristol324DD is definitely wound too tight. His response makes you think he really does have an unhealthy fascination with people's stools. I'm new to this forum, and began screwing around almost immediately -- largely because I've only been sailing for a couple of years, and only recently bought my boat. People seem disinterested in what I have to say as per technical issues, which is as it should be. As a result, I make jokes about things I'm expert at, such as farting. All that said, I think Cam, that Sailingdog fellow, Cruisingdad, Giulietta, Tartan34C, T34C, bestfriend, PBzeer, and all the folks whose pen names I can't recall are all tremendous resources. I've never asked a question and been denied a serious, thoughtful answer. Once I get the answer, I might ask if someone's pee smells funny after a cup of coffee...

text: Mike Flynn Follow Share This: Print Latest News Over Half Jobs Added in December Were Temporary Friday's December jobs report, showing the economy added just 74k jobs last month was itself a major disappointment. Economists had expected the economy to add around 200k jobs. Looking into the details of the report, however, reveals an even bleaker picture of the labor market. Well over half the jobs added in December, 40k, were in temporary employment. Jan 10, 2014 9:38 AM PT US Lost 2 Million Workers in 2013 Friday's December jobs report was a major disappointment, showing the economy gained just 74k jobs last month. Economists had expected the economy to gain around 200k jobs. The unemployment rate, however, dropped to 6.7% as 347k frustrated job-seekers gave up and left the labor force. We are in an upside-down world where a drop in the unemployment rate is a bad sign for the economy. Jan 10, 2014 8:15 AM PT 'Ready for Hillary' Raises More Than $4 Million "Ready for Hillary" is a SuperPAC launched in 2013 to build support for a potential Hillary Clinton campaign for President in 2016. Aggressive fundraising outreach, including renting Clinton's list of supporters in 2008, has allowed the PAC to raise more than $4 million last year. Its an impressive amount to support a campaign that doesn't yet exist. Jan 8, 2014 7:33 AM PT Left Tries to Silence Conservatives Ahead of 2014 Midterms A major conceit of the left is that opposing viewpoints aren't just wrong, they are evil or, at least, morally suspect. Leftists reveal much about themselves when they argue that a conservative's position is driven only by self-interest or greed. Rather than argue intellectually against a conservative view, they need to discredit it, make it illegitimate and beneath public debate. So too is political speech to argue conservative values. The left has an enormous financial infrastructure to further its views, but conservatives doing the same are using "dark money." Jan 7, 2014 10:30 AM PT Senate Vote Advances Unemployment Benefits Extension The Senate voted Tuesday to invoke cloture on legislation extended unemployment benefits to the long-term unemployed. Six Republicans joined Democrats to clear the key procedural hurdle by a vote of 60-37. The vote allows the Senate to pass the final legislation with a simple majority. It isn't clear whether the House will consider the extension, but the political pressure is likely to increase. Jan 7, 2014 8:20 AM PT 6 Key States to Watch in 2014 Elections The fight for control of the US Senate will dominate political headlines in 2014. That chamber, where Democrats face a tough struggle to retain their control, is the biggest prize on the ballot in November. Most areas of the country, however, won't see competitive races. In others, though, contests up and down the ballot could have long lasting consequences. Here are six states to watch this year. Jan 7, 2014 8:02 AM PT High Tobacco Taxes Spark Huge Black Market in Northeast High-cigarette tax jurisdictions are losing out on up to $729 million in tax revenue each year due to illicit trade in tobacco products. Jan 6, 2014 8:31 AM PT Government Could Shut Down Again on Jan 15 While members of Congress ended 2013 congratulating themselves for passing a budget, the media missed the fact that the agreement doesn't actually avoid a government shutdown. The deal reached by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) provides simply a blueprint for government spending. Congress must still pass legislation detailing specific spending before January 15, when government's spending authority expires. Government still faces a potential shutdown in a little over a week. Jan 4, 2014 10:37 AM PT Harry Reid Pushes to Extend Jobless Benefits When the Senate reconvenes on Monday, its first legislative action will be to extend unemployment benefits for another three months. Unemployment benefits for people out of work for 99 weeks expired at the end of the year. The three month extension would cost $6.5 billion. Jan 4, 2014 7:33 AM PT 2014: Nancy Pelosi Bid to Retake House Blocked by Math House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi continues to insist that Democrats can pick up 17 seats in the November to retake control of the House. She also insists that fallout from ObamaCare will not hurt Democrats this fall. Setting aside that delusion, the Democrats' chief problem isn't ObamaCare. It's math. Jan 2, 2014 11:35 AM PT 5 ObamaCare Nightmares for Democrats in 2014 Democrats are no doubt eager to put 2013 and the disastrous ObamaCare roll-out behind them. There is, however, a reason they pushed implementation of the health care law until well after Obama's reelection. There are 5 major reasons the Democrats long ObamaCare nightmare is just beginning. Jan 1, 2014 9:57 AM PT Minimum Wage Hike Central to Democrat 2014 Plans According to Democrat folklore, a national campaign to boost the minimum wage in 2006 swept them into power in Congress. Six states, which all had a number of competitive races, had initiatives on the ballot to hike the state minimum wage. Allied groups like ACORN and labor unions organized voter turnout efforts around the issue. Democrats are returning to this hymnal as a central strategy for the 2014 midterm elections. Dec 30, 2013 9:19 AM PT 1.3 Million Lose Unemployment Benefits Saturday On Saturday, an estimated 1.3 million long-term unemployed Americans will lose their unemployment insurance benefits. For the first time since 2008, Congress failed to extend the benefits went it passed a budget just before Christmas. The Obama Administration has warned that more than 4 million unemployed could lose benefits next year unless Congress passes another extension. Dec 27, 2013 2:00 PM PT Over 5,000 Alaskans Lose Insurance, 700 Sign-up for ObamaCare The combination of new health insurance coverage mandates and the disastrous rollout of ObamaCare makes it very likely that fewer people will have insurance than before the law was implemented. On Wednesday, the Associated Press trumpeted the news that over 700 Alaskans had enrolled in ObamCare. Unfortunately, however, around 5,400 Alaskans had their insurance plans cancelled because of ObamaCare. Dec 27, 2013 8:12 AM PT Alabama Lawmaker Plans Resolution Supporting 'Duck Dynasty' Star Alabama state Senator Jerry Fielding has announced plans to introduce an official resolution supporting Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson. Fielding said the A&E Network "bowed to pressures from liberal groups rather than respecting Robertson's biblically correct views."

Salaries for Wapakoneta City Schools administrators are being frozen.
Wapakoneta City Schools Board of Education members unanimously approved the salary freeze for the 2011-12 school year during TuesdayÔÇÖs meeting.
The freeze would apply to the superintendent, operations director, director of instruction, treasurer and athletic director, as well as principals and assistant principals of the elementary schools, the middle and high school.
Superintendent Keith Horner said the move will result in savings for the money-strapped district, but how much could be saved by freezing administrator salaries was unavailable.
ÔÇťWe thank our administrators for so willingly
jumping into a salary freeze as well as for the work they do,ÔÇŁ Horner said. ÔÇťThey know the situation and the financial health of the district is too important.ÔÇŁ
Board member Pat Gibson echoed that sentiment thanking administrators for their help with the districtÔÇÖs financial situation.
Horner and Operations Director Mike Watt took salary freezes last year, and Treasurer Susan Rinehart took a salary freeze a few years ago.
ÔÇťIt wasnÔÇÖt done across the board, but voluntary,ÔÇŁ Horner said of previous salary freezes. ÔÇťOur financial condition is very, very concerning. WeÔÇÖre trying to take steps to mitigate future problems. ItÔÇÖs something weÔÇÖve been doing. This is just another step.ÔÇŁ
Despite previous decisions made to cut personnel expenses through RIFs (reduction in force), not replacing staff and eliminating programs and supplemental positions, Horner said they are still spending more than they are taking in.
ÔÇťWeÔÇÖve significantly reduced staff in the past three years and we will have another reduction this year,ÔÇŁ Horner said. ÔÇťExpenditures are not matching revenue. There are only so many ways we can cut.ÔÇŁ
Horner said one factor contributing to the problem has been the districtÔÇÖs big expenses increasing too quickly. Health care is increasing by double digits adding up to an even larger cost. Health care already is a large expense and a big percentage of the districtÔÇÖs budget,
In addition, Wapakoneta City Schools are expecting to receive $1.2 million less from the state during the next two years.
ÔÇťThis is all a long way of saying weÔÇÖre broke,ÔÇŁ Horner said.
Negotiations with staff, which started in the spring for a contract expiring next June, already are at an impasse with a meeting scheduled with a mediator in August.
He could not comment on the reason for the impasse.
ÔÇťHopefully weÔÇÖll work that out,ÔÇŁ Horner said. ÔÇťItÔÇÖs a difficult time for everybody.
ÔÇťTeachers work extra hard to provide a good experience for students,ÔÇŁ he said. ÔÇťSometimes what we want to give and what we can afford to give are two different things.ÔÇŁ

Monetary policy remains loose in Europe but governments could do more to boost demand. Meanwhile, the weaker euro and stronger banking sector should help support European equities in the coming year.
The eurozone economy grew by 0.2% in the third quarter compared to the previous quarter, which was slightly better than consensus expectations of 0.1%. Compared to the same period a year earlier, the eurozone grew by 0.8%.
Keith Wade explains why he is not as pessimistic on the eurozone as some, and looks at why Mario Draghi is keeping some weapons in his arsenal.
Justin Bisseker looks at the results of the tests and some of the more subtle conclusions he expects the equity market to focus on.
There has been a substantial increase in volatility over recent weeks caused by a number of different factors which have significantly impacted investor sentiment. European equities have declined by almost 15% since mid-September and we would like to highlight this setback as a buying opportunity.
European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi confirmed that the ECB will buy covered bonds from mid-October and asset backed securities (ABS) from the fourth quarter of this year.
Macroeconomic news from the eurozone disappointed over the summer, but the region can count on plenty of other potential drivers of earnings growth.
The European Central Bank (ECB) has cut interest rates further in an attempt to boost domestic demand and reduce the risk of deflation in the euro area.
The autumn calendar is shaping up to be an eventful one for Europe's banks, and the impact should be beneficial for the sector and the broader economy.
Official estimates show the eurozone stagnated in the second quarter of the year following poor performance in core Europe, disappointing City expectations.

I came across an article on Tutorialzine which demonstrate file drag and drop upload with jQuery and PHP. As a curious reader, I downloaded the sample files and took a look and also get it running on my LINUX VM. It worked like a charm. But I am a Windows user and .NET programmer, the question is how can I do the same in ASP.NET?
If someone out there can do something in PHP then I can do that in .NET!!
If someone out there can do something in PHP then I can do that in .NET!!
Who said the above line??.....ME!!??.....oh yeah!!! So, to get myself started I used the same downloaded files that I used to check the PHP version of the file drag and drop. The only thing that we are not going to re-use out of these files is the php file. You can delete it if you wish or keep it, it's of no harm to our ASP.NET app.
Updating The jQuery Part
This example uses an awesome plugin from Weixi Yen and you can found the plugin and it's sample usage (documentation) on GitHub. The basic or I should say the default functionality provided by this plugin is to allow users to drag and drop the files from desktop to the browser. But before you actually get started with the plugin, I strongly recommend that you make yourself familiar with the parameters and configurations of the plugin.
Open the script.js file and change the URL to point to the web service or the page which will upload the posted file. Here I want you to pay attention to the javascript function named createImage. This method accepts the file as a parameter and returns the image or file data in Base64 format. This is the data which actually gets posted when the user drops a file to the upload area on the web page. This is all up to you whether you want to use a web service or a normal web page to accept the posted file/data. Here is my script.js file looks like after the changes.
$(function () {
var dropbox = $('#dropbox'),
message = $('.message', dropbox);
paramname: 'pic',
maxfiles: 5,
maxfilesize: 100,
//url: '/Uploader.asmx/Upload',
url: '/Default.aspx',
uploadFinished: function (i, file, response) {
error: function (err, file) {
switch (err) {
case 'BrowserNotSupported':
showMessage('Your browser does not support HTML5 file uploads!');
case 'TooManyFiles':
alert('Too many files! Please select 5 at most! (configurable)');
case 'FileTooLarge':
alert(file.name + ' is too large! Please upload files up to 2mb (configurable).');
// Called before each upload is started
// beforeEach: function (file) {
// if (!file.type.match(/^image\//)) {
// alert('Only images are allowed!');
// // Returning false will cause the
// // file to be rejected
// return false;
// }
// },
uploadStarted: function (i, file, len) {
progressUpdated: function (i, file, progress) {
var template = '
' +
'' +
'' +
'' +
'' +
'
' +
'

' +
'
' +
function createImage(file) {
var preview = $(template),
image = $('img', preview);
var reader = new FileReader();
image.width = 100;
image.height = 100;
reader.onload = function (e) {
// e.target.result holds the DataURL which
// can be used as a source of the image:
image.attr('src', e.target.result);
// Reading the file as a DataURL. When finished,
// this will trigger the onload function above:
// Associating a preview container
// with the file, using jQuery's $.data():
$.data(file, preview);
function showMessage(msg) {
Check out line number 10 and 11. I have change the url parameter to the one where my files are going to be posted. It can be a webservice or just a normal web page. The other two parameters maxfiles and maxfilesize defines the number of file that can be uploaded asynchronously and maximum size of the file that can be uploaded in MBs respectively. Also note that the demo that you download from the original source will have a validation that the files that are being uploaded by the user should only be images. If you want to override this rule then uncomment the lines from 33-42. This is it from the jQuery/script part. Now time to move on the server side code.
The Server Side Code
To remind you again that we are posting a file to a web service or to a web page and therefore that code for our web service or on our page will look something like this:
If you are using a web service to upload the posted file:
[ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
public string Upload()
HttpContext postedContext = HttpContext.Current;
HttpPostedFile file = postedContext.Request.Files[0];
string name = file.FileName;
byte[] binaryWriteArray = new
file.InputStream.Read(binaryWriteArray, 0,
FileStream objfilestream = new FileStream(Server.MapPath("uploads//" + name), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
objfilestream.Write(binaryWriteArray, 0,
string[][] JaggedArray = new string[1][];
JaggedArray[0] = new string[] { "File was uploaded successfully" };
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string strJSON = js.Serialize(JaggedArray);
return strJSON;
Nothing fancy or complicated in the above code. Remember, the files will send to the web service one by one and not in a collection and this is the reason I am working with one file at a time and not with file collections. In my case I have used a web service that return me JSON result which I can show it to the user, though it is not necessary, but just in case if you want to have one for your web service you need to use 2 using statements:
If you are using a web page to upload the posted file:
HttpContext postedContext = HttpContext.Current;
HttpPostedFile file = postedContext.Request.Files[0];
string name = file.FileName;
byte[] binaryWriteArray = new
file.InputStream.Read(binaryWriteArray, 0,
FileStream objfilestream = new FileStream(Server.MapPath("uploads//" + name), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
objfilestream.Write(binaryWriteArray, 0,
string[][] JaggedArray = new string[1][];
JaggedArray[0] = new string[] { "File was uploaded successfully" };
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string strJSON = js.Serialize(JaggedArray);
Same code as I have for the web service, put the above code on the page_load event.
While I was working around with the above code and configuration of the plugin I came across an error that won't allow me to upload heavy files or I should say large files. The error that I received is:
System.Web.HttpException: Maximum request length exceeded
To overcome this error you have make the below configuration in your web.config file inside <system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="102400" executionTimeout="1200" />
A word of caution here, though it will solve your problem but:
This is it, if you have followed the steps above then try uploading some file. And if you haven't and lazy to put all the pieces together then download the code from the below and try it.

Good job !
How to fix to this work in IE7-8-9. Please help me
IE not support FileAPI
@Tam, See this library which fallback into silver light for IE users.
Here is the link, https://github.com/MrSwitch/dropfile
I'm trying to add a DB insert for each file uploaded, I've put the following code in my page load of Default.aspx following his example
SqlDataSource fileInsert = new SqlDataSource();
fileInsert.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ToString();
fileInsert.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text;
fileInsert.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO uploads (filename, date, filetype, height, width, uploadGroup) VALUES (@filename, @date, @filetype, @height, @width, @uploadGroup)";
fileInsert.InsertParameters.Add("filename", "filename");
fileInsert.InsertParameters.Add("date", DateTime.Now.ToString());
fileInsert.InsertParameters.Add("filetype", "jpg");
fileInsert.InsertParameters.Add("height", "1");
fileInsert.InsertParameters.Add("width", "1");
fileInsert.InsertParameters.Add("uploadGroup", "1");
unfortunately this isn't working, or throwing any errors. I have it write after the "Response.End()" in his example, any ideas?
I need something that only accepts drag and drop photos .... Do you know something like that?
Take a look at the above script on line number 33 to 42. It has a simple check which gets fired before the actual upload process gets fired. If you only want to upload images then un-comment these lines and then you will be able to upload images only.
Nice script! I have a problem though, I am trying to use a querystring to use as an id to rename the file. I will check for pictures connected to this id in my db and then give the new picture a unique name and id. I have changed the index.html to an aspx file that sets the id as value on a hidden form element. The script needs to pick up this value so that I can use it in the Default.aspx.cs to rename the file and save changes to my db.
If anyone has done something similar, please share ;)
I am getting error while running default.aspx file. error is index is out of range...
please help me!!!
Are you using the same code as I have posted above?
yes, I downloaded the code and tried to run but it was giving me error. When I debugged it then I found that second line (HttpPostedFile file = postedContext.Request.Files[0];) in page_load event breaks, and it is obvious because when we first run the application and page loads then there is no any file that we have dragged and dropped in UI.
Please tell me how to modify the code so that the code runs only when we have dropped some files in dropping area.
Well I missed that part in the example above. Thanks for pointing out.
To avoid this check if the page is postback using Page.IsPostback method on the page load event. This will solve your problem.
It is not working. And why index.html file is being displayed, even I have run the default.aspx file.
Also on Index.html page I tried to drop jpg file but it did not work.
Kindly help me...
A very strange thing is happening. Drag and drop is working only with chrome and not with the IE or Mozila.
Also as project is configured to upload images, it is uploading other files except for images.
Please tell me what wrong is happening???
Use the browser which supports FileAPI. Old browser don't support FileAPI.
Something strange is happening. When I try to run default.aspx page then index.html page is shown.
Also drag and drop is working with chrome only not with ie or mozila, and project is configured to upload images but it is uploading other files except for images.
Please tell me what wrong is happening??
Ok IE does not support fileAPI, but what about mozila firefox.
And my question was that the project is primarily configured to upload images but other files are being uploaded but not the images with the default project configuration.
I don't know about firefox, but I did a search and found this link. http://demos.hacks.mozilla.org/openweb/FileAPI/
It is clearly stated that you must be using 3.6 beta version of Firefox to avail the use of FileAPI. I am not using Firefox and therefore I cannot tell more about that.
Why you are trying to run default.aspx? The reason I used default.aspx in the above example to show that users can also upload files in ASP.NET using a normal .aspx page and also through a web service. If you check the default .aspx there is nothing implemented on that page.
As I mentioned earlier that IE does not support FileAPI at the moment. To upload only images you need to uncomment the following javascript code:
// Called before each upload is started
// beforeEach: function (file) {
// if (!file.type.match(/^image\//)) {
// alert('Only images are allowed!');
// // Returning false will cause the
// // file to be rejected
// return false;
// }
// },
You can find the above code from line number 33-42 (you can see the highlighted lines of code in the post above).
I got your point. But the only problem I am facing is that [b]only image are not being uploaded.[/b]
Is there any specific error you are getting while uploading files?
No, I am not getting any error message. When I drop the images then the progress bar starts and stops when reaches upto 45%-50%. And when I see the Uploads folder after a while then I do not see any image there.
If progress bar stops at 40%-50% then this means that there is an exception either in the script. Could be possible that you have not set the path url path for the service correctly. If you are using chrome then I suggest you to look at the console to find where the problem is.
I am trying to Upload the Dragged file in web application which is created by using visual studio 2005 . How to achive the drag and drop file upload process. Please help me.
I need drag and drop file upload in visual studio 2005. please urgent
What is the error/complications you are facing while implementing file upload using drag & drop?
I discovered this same issue with the progress bar in the ASMX version. It was due to the Json response string still being wrapped in XML: "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">;[["File was uploaded successfully"]]</string>" The '<' character throws an error in JavaScript and kills the script. However, the files were still being successfully uploaded. To resolve the issue, I used the solution outlined here: stackoverflow.com/.../asp-net-ajax-returning-xml-when-json-specified. I haven't identified the root of the issue: why is XML being returned when the WebMethod is decorated with a ResponseFormat of Json? If I do, I'll report back here.
Thank you for your article.
you should start index.html and not default.aspx
Hi... can I use this exampe to upload a file without drag&drop??? I want to use
<input type="file">......
how can I get filename save to database? please help me.
If you check the code for the web service and the web page method then check out the below line in the code.
string name = file.FileName;
It has been really helpful. I have a problem, when I am executing the code on my local machine in dev environment, it is working fine.
But, when I move it to IIS and try running from any machine, I get an error in uploading the files.
I get the error as
POST http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/Default.aspx 404 (Not Found) jquery.filedrop.js:311
XMLHttpRequest.sendAsBinary jquery.filedrop.js:311
send jquery.filedrop.js:215
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < jquery-1.6.3.min.js:2
e.extend.parseJSON jquery-1.6.3.min.js:2
Can you kindly help me?
drag and drop doesnt work in default.aspx.when i delete the index.html and paste the div dropbox and all the link to script in default.aspx
Qualcosa di strano sta accadendo. Quando provo ad eseguire pagina default.aspx quindi la pagina index.html è indicata.
È perché la pagina default. aspx gestisce la richiesta di caricare i file. Se si apre la pagina in modalità di progettazione di Visual Studio, si vedrà nulla su quella pagina. D'altra parte la pagina index. html è quello dove si deve usare drag and drop funzionalità è implementata per caricare i file.
I was run the code but an error occured
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index
I was wondering if anyone has tried to use this on a page that has a master page? When I drop the image on the "dropzone" a new tab in Firefox opens and displays the picture. I can run this demo project and it works just fine so I figured it has something to do with the Master page I'm using. Any advice? Thanks!
Muy buena información, me encanta el Html 5, gracias por tu post.
I think the code will mostly the same, though I have not tried it yet.
If you look at the code above, you can see that I have commented the above code where there is a regex that checked whether the uploaded file is of image type or not.
If you just want to implement the drag & drop for images only then un-comment the code to implement the check.
I'm a huge fan of tutorialzine, but i'm an ASP.net programmer just like you! I was searching for an asp.net solution for the exact same tutorial on tutorialzine and thank god i found you!
I build this in VS 2008. If you can't see the assembly then try a searching the OS drive (C: generally) and then add it to the references. I do agree as this assembly is pretty hard to find with older versions of VS. It's a long time back so I don't exactly recall how I added it.

Patrick Stump Welcomes Baby Boy [PHOTO]
Congratulations are in order for new dad Patrick Stump and his wife Elisa Yao! Elisa just gave birth to their newborn baby boy, and we have the first photo of the adorable newborn.
Congratulations are in order for new dad Patrick Stump and his wife Elisa Yao! Elisa just gave birth to their newborn baby boy, and we have the first photo of the adorable newborn.
Fall Out Boy have released the lead single from their upcoming sixth untitled studio album. The song, titled 'Centuries,' debuted on BBC Radio 1 earlier today, Sept. 8, and will be available to download on iTunes tomorrow.
Congratulations to Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, who announced today, Sept. 3, that he's going to be a dad!
It's another boy for Pete Wentz! The Fall Out Boy bassist and his girlfriend, model Meagan Camper, welcomed their first child together.
Fall Out Boy have recorded a cover of Elton John's classic hit 'Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting,' and PopCrush has the exclusive premiere of the song!
Fall Out Boy. Paramore. Pete Wentz. Hayley Williams. Summer 2014. Live. Monumentour.
Fall Out Boy have a funny way of wishing their fans a merry Christmas -- with their spooky new 'Death Valley' video.
When thinking of Victoria's Secret, pop-punk band Fall Out Boy may not be the first thing to come to mind. But after an impressive performance at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which aired tonight, Dec. 10, maybe they should be paired together more often.
Fall Out Boy were one of the few bands to perform at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (Nov. 28), since, well, it's not exactly easy to play an instrument on a moving float when it's freezing out, since your hands get chilled and trying to manipulate guitar strings presents a problem at times.
Fall Out Boy go crazy in the video for 'Alone Together,' which is the fourth video in their 11-part series 'The Youngblood Chronicles.'

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Indianapolis 500 this year will have its smallest seating capacity since 2000, but don't expect to find fewer fans on race day.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has removed thousands of grandstand seats overlooking Turn 3 and several rows of seats on the front straightaway. The changes follow the demolition of a bleacher section inside Turn 1 five years ago to extend the track's road course.
The Indianapolis Star reports (http://indy.st/104giFR ) the changes have cut the number of seats by 11,600, to 235,000.
Speedway officials say the changes will improve fans' experience. Spokesman Doug Boles notes that the seats along the front straightaway had limited visibility.
An estimated 250,000 people are still expected to attend the May 26 race.

Region: Minneapolis (Downtown)
Last year, Pillsbury House Theatre caused a sensation with its co-production (with the Mount Curve Company) of In the Red and Brown Water, the first play of Tarell Alvin McCraney's The Brother/Sister Plays. The heady mix of life in rural Louisiana and cues from African mythology made for stellar theater, so good that it was named show of the year by City Pages and the Star Tribune. The companies return to McCraney's world this week for The Brothers Size, the second play in the trilogy. Marion McClinton directs the production, which features James A. Williams (Pillsbury House artistic associate with numerous accolades to his name) and Gavin Lawrence (the lead in Are You Now or Have You Ever Been... earlier this year), who reprise their roles from the first play — Williams as Ogun Size and Lawrence as Elegba. They are joined by Namir Smallwood (Pillsbury House's Buzzer), who plays Oshoosi Size, a man just released from prison looking to pick up the threads of his life. As in the first play, McCraney closely observes the day-to-day routine of life in the bayou with the mythology of Yoruba, a deeply rooted West African culture.
Tuesdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Sundays, 7 p.m. Starts: Sept. 7. Continues through Sept. 29, 2012

Gives the frame its character and provides the perfect setting for an artwork to be fully enjoyed.
Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

Killer tries to get conviction overturned
Updated On: May 08 2012 02:01:55 PM EDT
Lawyers for a man convicted of first-degree murder in St. Johns County are trying to get his conviction overturned.
James Turner was found guilty in the 2005 stabbing death of Renee Howard.
Prosecutors called it a random crime. They said Turner, who had escaped from a South Carolina jail, stabbed Howard 15 times in front of her children at the Comfort Inn just of Interstate 95 so he could steal her van. He also attacked Howard's friend, who locked herself in the bathroom to get away from him.
Turner was captured hours after the attack following a police chase in which he intentionally wrecked his truck into a deputy's cruiser.
Turner was sentenced to death.
New lawyers say Turner, now 40, should get a new trial because the trial lawyer failed to raise mental health issues in the penalty phase and didn't present sufficient mitigating evidence.
The hearing could last two days.

Review this movie
Aug 15, 2014I'm not black, but it seems many in the media give predominately black movies lower reviews than normal. Even classics like "Coming to America" are largely left off of greatest comedies of all time lists. It seems if it isn't a slavery movie or some drama to that effect a comedy is underrated.
This movie is funny and lives up to the hype. It is excellent and I'm glad I watched it despite the inaccurate reviews I've read. The entire film is enjoyable and well worth it with the very talented cast with Kevin Hart often stealing the show.
I would say like many rom-coms there is a certain traditional sappiness that comes along to satisfy a female audience, but I found it entertaining. I'll give it a 9, but voted a ten because some of these other reviewers and critics are questionable after seeing it myself.… Expand
Mar 3, 2014I love this movie, it was so retarded that it made me laugh the entire movie. There was a great choice in which actors were casted, and there was a great plot behind this movie.
Dec 2, 2012This by far has to be the best comedy that I have seen in years. Think Like a Man is based on Steve Harvey's #1 New York Times Best Seller Book "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What men really think about love relationships, intimacy and commitment." There were so many hot black actors/actresses as well as gorgeous clothing, fast cars and funny punch lines. This movie is the entire package and a must see if you are either in or out of any relationship. Read a bit more about this movie at chique-critique.blogspot.com… Collapse
Sep 3, 2012When you watch the trailer it seems very funny, but when the movie starts it is actually very boring. The movie seems like it goes on and on forever, rather than it being like 100 minutes. It just drags on forever. If they had added the funny guy " the one telling the story" the movie would of been a HIT! That's my opinion. The biggest thing was that it dragged on FOREVER and that it was not funny..… Expand
May 17, 2012This movie was a hit to me. All my friends literally, and I as well love this movie. Im more or a dram-type guy but sometimes I'll watch a real good comedy, and this was one of them. If tickets wernt so expensive I'ld go see it again no doubt! This movie gets stale at times, but it's fresh and thats what I love alot about it. I cant wait to purchase this movie when it comes out! What ever money was spent on filing the money was well spent because they've made a laugh out loud comedy enjoyable for alot of people!… Expand
Apr 30, 2012Angels: This is a funny movie. It is more comedy than romcom. Sure, it is about relationships, and it has a happy ending - so to that extent it is romcom. But unlike most romcoms it is funny. This is 'horrible bosses' funny. It is also gratifying to see some talented actors get exposure. Michael Ealy is a very versatile actor, and has the ability to make you believe that he is not acting, that this is real life. And of course, there is the beautiful and talented Gabrielle Union. If our society, including our movie industry wasn't so 'segregated' Gabrielle would be a household name. And finally there is perhaps the most stunning actress in Hollywood: yes that is right: Megan Good! Never heard of Megan? Then go see this movie. If your socks are not wet from drool, then you either have no socks, or no pulse. I only give this movie a 9 because some of the relationship resolutions were a little contrived. Still, a fun movie experience with lots of laughs and eye candy. My honey said it was a 2hr commercial for Steve Harvey's book...my honey is so droll. (Anyway she enjoyed it as much as me.)
Fly high tonight Angels.… Expand
Apr 24, 2012Very entertaining and of course funny. Became predictable right away and lacked an element of any surprise or twist. When watching, by a quarter of the way through the movie you'll sit back and just watch because you'll feel like you've seen it before. It's almost like a remake of Deliver Us from Eva.
Apr 23, 2012Sorry, if Tyler Perry doesn't have anything to do with this is can't not be good. TP is a Hollywood icon and he's making the rules HIS WAY so if you don't like it, then you can just double flip on outta here. Because Hollywood don't tolerate no phonies!
Apr 23, 2012This movie is great. Very funny, great acting, wonderful storyline and entertaining. I think its a must see no matter if you are in a relationship or not. I would pay to see it again. I really enjoyed Michael Ealy's character...honest, positive, funny and great message on following your dream and starting your own business.
Apr 22, 2012"Think Like a Man" plays like a big screen version of Seinfeld. However, the dialog lacks the wit and biting sarcasm of the iconic 90's sitcom. There's little going on cinematically, as it's firmly rooted in TV sitcom production style. The film is based on Steve Harvey's non-fiction book, but doesn't dramatize it well. The film lacks economy of characters, having unnecessary, anonymous, redundant characters with nothing to do. Like so many self-help books, "Think Like a Man" offers superficial insights of no real help, glossing over its ideas rather than exploring them. The movie is shameless in plugging the book the film is based on, as the characters chant, "Steve Harvey says.." when Steve Harvey doesn't have anything meaningful to say about love and relationships--and neither does this movie. Full review on my blog.… Expand
Apr 21, 2012This movie was exactly what a movie should be entertaining and funny. The cast was very well put together showing great chemistry and awareness. There were no dull moments from the beginning to end the did a great job framing the book to the screen. This is a movie that in my view is worthy of seeing more than one. The cast was diversely rounded and common which in my view can allow anybody to see this and enjoy it.… Expand
Apr 20, 2012Is normal that all the years we watch this movies, with a great cast in a simple story, that can be funny, and Think Like a Man is perfect for the example, we have a funny cast, that do a normal performance, any bigger, and do a good job. The story is simple, in some moments is funny, any new. Think Like a Man is to hang. No more.
The relationship advice is all fairly boilerplate, much like the film itself, but these actors have made this a bankable romcom.
Apr 22, 2012Screenwriters Keith Merryman and David A. Newman interweave four asinine, underdeveloped plot lines, and Tim Story's prosaic direction reduces their script to a shambolic nightmare.
