Seven days after the proof had been posted back to the printers (www.imprintdigital.co.uk) my boxes containing 150 books were delivered, and a brilliant job they had made of them too! So now I had to spread the word as far and wide as possible that I was officially a published author!
Once again it was back to the internet; 'How to Organise a Book Launch Party'; 'How to Write a Press Release' and the invitations for the former were sent to family and friends, former band mates and roadies plus the publisher and, of course, some local media people. The press release was sent to 16 local newspapers covering at least 75% of the areas in which we had played, together with 5 local radio stations. Wherever possible it was targeted directly to someone in their set-up who would know what to do with it. Continue reading →

Using the BackgroundWorker in a Silverlight MVVM Application
With Silverlight 4 and the Entity Framework you get a lot of work done on your behalf in terms of standard UI CRUD-style operations. Validations and I/O are pretty easy to accommodate out of the box. But sometimes you need to perform some long running tasks either on the client or on the server via service calls. To prevent your UI from hanging and annoying your users, you should consider placing these operations on a background thread. The BackgroundWorker object is the perfect solution for this. It is easy to use and easy to debug. There are, however, a few things you should understand about where and when the BackgroundWorker can provide feedback and/or manipulate the UI. Spending a few minutes building out the sample listed here should give you the foundation you need to implement very complex, very responsive scenarios.
Note that I used MVVM Light's RelayCommand not because it's required but because it's simple and provides the functionality I required in other applications when binding commands to UI events other than Click. The ViewModelBase also automatically implements INotifyPropertyChanged which is nice.
Here is how the system should operate:
The user types a message into the text box and presses the button. The message is passed into the processor object on a background thread. The processor occasionally notifies the UI that status has changed and the UI refreshes accordingly. While the processor is executing, there should be no lag in the UI functionality. This could also be enhanced to allow the processor to handle in-transit updates to the processor's payload from the UI but this is beyond the scope of this post.
Getting Started
Start by opening Visual Studio 2010 and creating a new Silverlight Application. No need to do anything special here, no Navigation app, no MVM Light app. Inside the Silverlight application (I named mine BackgroundTest) create three new folders:
· Models
· ViewModels
· Views
Drag the MainPage.xaml from the root folder into the Views folder. This is not really required but it keeps things organized.
Right click on ViewModels and select Add Item => MvvmViewModel. Name it MainViewModel. If you don't have MvvmViewModel as an item template, check out Laurent Bugnion's site for details about the MVVM Light Toolkit. http://www.galasoft.ch/
Add two new classes to the Models folder:
· LongRunningObject: This is our faux object that will take an arbitrary amount of time to process the ProcessItem it receives.
· ProcessItem: This is a simple business object that implements INotifyPropertyChanged.
In the App.xaml file, add a reference to the ViewModels namespace of the current project and give it a prefix of "vm":xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:BackgroundTest.ViewModels"
In the Application Resources element (also in App.xaml) add a static reference to the MainViewModel:
<vm:MainViewModel x:Key="MainViewModel" />
By adding the MVVM Light ViewModel you should have automatically added references to the following DLL's. If they are not there, add them now:
· GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Etras.SL4
· GalaSoft.MvvmLight.SL4
Here is the Xaml of the MainPage:<UserControl x:Class="BackgroundTest.MainPage"xmlns:i="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Interactivity;assembly=System.Windows.Interactivity"xmlns:cmd="clr-namespace:GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Command;assembly=GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Extras.SL4"xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:BackgroundTest.ViewModels"mc:Ignorable="d"DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource MainViewModel}}"Height="250" Width="500"><UserControl.Resources><DataTemplate x:Key="ProcItemsTemplate"><Grid><Grid.ColumnDefinitions><ColumnDefinition Width="65" /><ColumnDefinition /><ColumnDefinition Width="30" /></Grid.ColumnDefinitions><TextBlock Grid.Column="0"Text="{Binding Path=Progress, StringFormat=\{0:P\}}" /><TextBlock Grid.Column="1"Text="{Binding Path=CommandData}" /><TextBlock Grid.Column="2"Text="{Binding Path=IsComplete}" /></Grid></DataTemplate></UserControl.Resources><Grid.RowDefinitions><RowDefinition Height="25" /><RowDefinition Height="25" /><RowDefinition /></Grid.RowDefinitions><Grid.ColumnDefinitions><ColumnDefinition Width="140" /><ColumnDefinition /></Grid.ColumnDefinitions>Width="200" TextWrapping="Wrap" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" /><Button Content="Load this and wait..."Grid.Row="1" Width="150" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"Margin="0,2,2,0" ><i:Interaction.Triggers><i:EventTrigger EventName="Click"><cmd:EventToCommandCommand="{Binding StartLongRunningExecCommand}"CommandParameter="{Binding Path=DataText}" /></i:EventTrigger></i:Interaction.Triggers></Button><Rectangle Grid.Row="2" Fill="{Binding Path=CurrentColor}" /><StackPanel Orientation="Vertical"HorizontalAlignment="Center"VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.Row="2"><TextBlock Text="Red=Not Running" /><TextBlock Text="Green=Running" /><TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ProcessorCount}" /></StackPanel><ScrollViewer Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2"><ItemsControlItemsSource="{Binding Path=TokenList, Mode=TwoWay}"ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ProcItemsTemplate}" /></ScrollViewer></Grid></UserControl>
This is pretty straight forward. The DataContext of the control is set to the key that you added previously in the App.xml. The binding statements will be more apparent after you dig into the ViewModel. Also, the Click event of the button is bound using Triggers to show that this command could be fired from any event, not just a button. The parameter of the command is set to the text property of the text box.
There is absolutely no code behind other than Initialize in the view which is exactly where we want to be.
Let's now provide some meat to the business object.If you fail to implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface in this business object, updating items in the list will not refresh in the UI regardless of how many times and in how many places you throw the RaisePropertyChanged event.
We have three properties: A progress percentage value (double), a string body and a boolean complete flag. In addition there is a private implementation of that calls the PropertyChanged event for each property.
Here is the code:using System.ComponentModel;{public class ProcessItem : INotifyPropertyChanged{private double _progress = 0;public double Progress{get{return _progress;}set{if (_progress != value){_progress = value;RaisePropertyChanged("Progress");}}}private string _commandData = string.Empty;
public string CommandData{get{return _commandData;}set{if (_commandData != value){_commandData = value;RaisePropertyChanged("CommandData");}}}private bool _isComplete = false;public bool IsComplete{get{return _isComplete;}set{if (_isComplete != value){_isComplete = value;RaisePropertyChanged("IsComplete");}}}public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;private void RaisePropertyChanged(string prop){if (PropertyChanged != null){PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(prop));}}}
The Long Running Processor
Now lets take a look at LongRunningObject. Remember that this is a pseudo object that simulates a long running call to a web service or some heavy client-side processing that must take place.
We have two public events that fire during processing to notify clients of progress and to state that processing is complete.
When the single public method fires, the events are thrown and a for loop with a sleep timer is used to simulate a long process. Once the loop is complete, the completion event is thrown with the appropriate payload.
Note that I'm throwing a new ProcessItem with each event. This is not completely necessary but the goal is to indicate that anything can come back, not just the input parameter. Remember, this is occuring on a different thread and care should be taken when passing references around in this manner.
Here is the code:using System;using System.Threading;namespace BackgroundTest.Models{public class LongRunningObject{public event Action<ProcessItem> WorkCompleted;public event Action<ProcessItem> WorkProgress;public void RunWorkAsync(ProcessItem inputData){double iMax = 25;// Throw starting progress eventWorkProgress(new ProcessItem(){Progress = 0,CommandData = inputData.CommandData});{Thread.Sleep(1200);double dProg = (i + 1) / iMax;// Throw the current progress eventWorkProgress(new ProcessItem(){Progress = dProg,CommandData = inputData.CommandData,IsComplete = false});}// Throw the completed eventWorkCompleted(new ProcessItem(){Progress = 1,CommandData = inputData.CommandData,IsComplete = true});}}}
That's it for plumbing and faux code. Now let's open the MainViewModel and get the real work done.
The ViewModel
First, we'll add the properties required by the UI. We'll need a property to bind the RelayCommand (StartLongRunningExecCommand), a string property to bind to the UI TextBlock (DataText), a simple counter to track how many BackgroundWorker objects we have in process (ProcessorCount) and an ObservableCollection to store all the items being processed by the BackgroundWorker (TokenList). Each of these properties will execute the RaisePropertyChanged event in the setter if the source value changes. This means that you should always update the value by setting the property, not hitting the storage field directly if you want the UI to update it's binding sources.
We also need a local private variable to store the UI thread's Dispatcher. This will be our means of updating the UI when progress is received from the BackgroundWorker object.private Dispatcher currentDispatcher;
We'll wire this up in the constructor:currentDispatcher = App.Current.RootVisual.Dispatcher;
The actual work that takes place happens because in the constructor we also wire up the RelayCommand to a method.StartLongRunningExecCommand = new RelayCommand<string>(p =>{StartProcess(p);});
The StartProcess method first instances the events that will be handled during processing:DoWorkEventHandler workHandler = null;RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler doneHandler = null;Action<ProcessItem> longRunProgress = null;Action<ProcessItem> longRunCompleted = null;
Then we set up the BackgroundWorker, assign it's events and begin the work. Note that inside each delegate event that should fire only once, we immediately unwire the event from the source object to prevent memory leaks from orphaned objects. This makes it very plain that an object can be garbage collected. For events that fire multiple times, care should be taken to unwire those events upon final cleanup. Here we do it when the WorkCompleted event fires from the business object. Additionally, note that we call the currentDispatcher.BeginInvoke method in various places. This allows the method passed to be called on the original UI thread.
Here is the entire StartProcess method:public void StartProcess(string commandData){// Events used during background processingDoWorkEventHandler workHandler = null;RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler doneHandler = null;Action<ProcessItem> longRunProgress = null;Action<ProcessItem> longRunCompleted = null;// Implementation of the BackgroundWorkervar wrkr = new BackgroundWorker();wrkr.DoWork += workHandler =delegate(object oDoWrk, DoWorkEventArgs eWrk){// Unwire the workHandler to prevent memory leakswrkr.DoWork -= workHandler;LongRunningObject LongRun = new Models.LongRunningObject();LongRun.WorkProgress += longRunProgress =delegate(ProcessItem result){// Call the method on the UI thread so that we can get// updates and avoid cross-threading exceptions.currentDispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action<ProcessItem>(AddToken), result);};LongRun.WorkCompleted += longRunCompleted =delegate(ProcessItem result){// Unwire all events for this instance// of the LongRunningObjectLongRun.WorkProgress -= longRunProgress;LongRun.WorkCompleted -= longRunCompleted;currentDispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action<ProcessItem>(AddToken), result);};// Events are wired for the business object,// this where we start the actual work.LongRun.RunWorkAsync(new ProcessItem() { Progress = 0, CommandData = dataText });};wrkr.RunWorkerCompleted += doneHandler =delegate(object oDone, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs eDone){// Work is complete, decrement the counter// and kill references to teh donHandler.wrkr.RunWorkerCompleted -= doneHandler;procCount--;RaisePropertyChanged("ProcessorCount");};// This is where the actual asynchronous process will// start performing the work that is wired up in the// previous statements.wrkr.RunWorkerAsync();procCount++;RaisePropertyChanged("ProcessorCount");}
The AddToken method is a simple synchronizer that eitehr adds the text value to the UI-bound list or updates the progress value. Once again, if you did not implement INotifyPropertyChanged in your business object, setting the itm.Progress and itm.IsComplete values would not update values on the UI thread.
That's pretty much it. I've included the complete code listing for the Silverlight side here.

Hoka One One Lydiard Legend Marathon, Arthur's Half Marathon, and the Titirangi 10km and 5km run and walk
SATURDAY 13th SEPTEMBER, 2014
Shadbolt Park, New Lynn, Waitakere Ranges, Auckland
The Arthur Lydiard Legend events were created in conjunction with the master coach himself, on courses that have produced our most famous and successful Olympic athletes, the likes of Peter Snell, Murray Halberg, Barry Magee, Bill Bailey and many others...
The Legend event is steeped in history and was developed with Arthur Lydiard himself prior to his passing in 2004 - this event was not meant to be a memorial to the great man, and has become a major road run/walk event in the calendar.
All events follow the famous Waiatarua routes (set in the Waitakere Ranges in West Auckland ) previously used by Arthur Lydiard to train his prodigies - Arthur's training courses are now world-renowned and countless elite and not-so-elite athletes from many parts of the world have used them, and still do, as a key element of their training regimes and schedules. Arthur's courses and his training principles have stood the test of time.
The Legend event was an idea conceived by Ian Winson after viewing a television documentary earlier in 2004, featuring a young athlete completing a run on the Lydiard training route., Contact was made with Arthur to seek permission to organise an event in his name, he gave his blessing and written permission - The Legend event was born.
Training Schedules by Arthur Lydiard
Thanks to Arthur's good friend and co-author Garth Gilmour, we are able to offer Arthur Lydiard's original marathon and half-marathon schedules to anyone looking for some training pointers. These were published in the Lydiard-Gilmour book, Run To the Top, in 1962.

I got a tiny one of this at Duty Free (8 ml) so its cheap. its a cute little tub, but the cap falls off pretty easily. I'm in the middle of cold winter in Melbourne and my skin is flakey madly dry! and THIS does not help at all. Not impressed.
I actually got afew of these tins for free when i was travelling with malaysian airlines haha
this is a really nice product, i use it around my nails and around my lips. It doesnt have any smell and leaves no shine. although it aborbs into your skin really fast you arent left feeling like you need to reapply.
the tin is quite cute and its easy to just chuck into your bag.
More reviews by wordsandnumbers
I believe I got this in a package deal from qvc several years ago, and still have not used the entire full-sized tin. I tend to reach for it in the winter because my feet get so dry. I put it by my bed at night and cover my feet with socks. Otherwise, I find it to greasy for daily use. I love the smell of the shea butter products, so you won't find a hater here.
I bought one of the mini tins of these to use as a cuticle cream.
It goes on a bit greasy, but absorbs quickly (within ~5 minutes). There's no smell. I didn't have any difficulty getting it out of the tin (although I have the small sized tin). Although it felt moisturizing immeidately after I apply it, within about an hour, I feel like I need more. I prefer the L'Occitane cuticle cream or hand cream better.
I also tried this as a lip balm - again, felt great upon application. But, my lips felt really dry after about an hour - chapstick has better staying power.

I haven't found a L'Occitane lotion or creme that I don't like. The Shea Butter cremes are, for me, by far the best. Love them and have given away all my el-cheapo drugstore lotions and potions. I love the scent of the shea butter original, and love the way it feels on the skin. It does go on a little greasy, so give it time to soak in before trying to use a keyboard or mouse. :)
I bought a 2oz tin of the Ltd. Anniversary Ed. that has Lavender. It smells divine! Occasionally I use Retin-A around my eyes which makes my eye area red and sensitive, making nearly every eye cream burn and sting. Straight Vaseline is good but can look too shiny and make concealer crease.
I forgot I had this! I tap my finger on the surface and tap around my eyes (don't even TRY to spread this around your delicate eyes!) it moisturizes beautifully, doesn't sting AT ALL, looks matte, doesn't make my concealer crease, which makes it perfect for the daytime. (Using Retin-A makes the skin flake, its part of the process, but when you put concealer on sensitive flaky eyes, Whoa! you look like a reptile shedding its skin! But its worth it to see smoother skin after a few weeks.)
This is a great all purpose intensive moisturizer, great for eyes, lips, cuticles, dry patches, anywhere.

I usually am a huge fan of l'occitane,but mg,this stuff is awful! It has this dreadful thick gunky texture that never fades completely even hours later! I had to warm the tub with my hair dryer or I would never have gotten this cream to rub in without removing layers of skin! I cannot believe I spent soo much on such a crapy crapy product.Even thinking of the feeling of it on my skin is making me cringe!Ewww...Never again
Having just seen this on ebay for £1.99 a 100g (4oz), this product is definitely overpriced, and I won't be buying it again. The ebay listing was also raw, unrefined, and with a much higher healing factor - which have to to be points in its favour, eh? I will continue to use shea butter because even this L'Occitane version (heavily processed and refined) is bloomin' marvellous. I use it on my cuticles, my lips, dry patches, elbows, eczma, and even sometimes at night, around my eyes. In many ways, I would compare it with Liz Earle's Superbalm (texture, moisturising quality, etc) but she uses essential oils, which taste if you use them on your lips. Both products are great, and I cannot imagine being without them. Since using Shea butter on my nails and cuticles they are definitely stronger, and have a glossy healthy sheen. For years i have had dry cuticles and hangnails, which have never responded to anything. Within a week of applying the Shea butter once or twice a day, they were looking great.
Thanks for the tip about using it on my hair, I will try that next.
I bought the small ( 0.26 size ) tin of L'Occitane from SkinStore.com. I was wanting a substitute for that dreadful Dr.Denese Age Correcting cream @ night time. I can't write there is a problem removing the product from the tin. The consistency was like dipping out of a Vaseline jar. On the other hand, I have seen shea butter that looked hard packed in the container. The L'Occitane texture was gritty and warming it up took away the grit.
I applied it to my desert dry skin, but noticed it took a long time to absorb. Maybe, I've been using to much. I've read all the wonderful benefits from using shea butter, and will have to wait to see any results. I'm thinking shea butter comes from both East and West Africa, but are different in some ways.
I may wait to use this up before deciding to buy the L'Occitane Organic shea butter OR, I may buy the unrefined on eBay.
Update: I tried B&BW Too Shea and decided L'Occitane's was better. Too Shea's was more greasy-like in consistency, no matter how light it was applied. I tried the L'Occitane's with a lighter hand and it did absorb in my skin much better. I just might use this on my elbows and heels.

From Literacy to Electracy
This presentation explores ways new writing spaces, new alternative genres to the essay or book, are influencing writing and reading, teaching and learning, knowledge creation and online power. By considering new writing tools, from Wikipedia to social bookmarking to music mash ups, I consider ways collaborative practices are changing, ways new genres are emerging, ways change takes place at a societal level, ways healing and therapy take place, and ways, perhaps, that we--as authors and readers--are changing in response to our new tools and communicative processes.

New Rooming Arrangement for some district conventions in the UK - what are they up to?

So I missed this letter below being read out last week - I got a look at it from the notice board this week.
From what I heard, this announcement was not received entirely positively as such, but there were apparently one or two for who this is a bit annoying.
Staying at hotels for the district convention is nothing new here - many are used to staying at the same hotel/B&B/campsite every year, and get quite friendly with the owners. But this year, it looks like not only do we have a new location for our district assembly (Glasgow - the S.E.C.C.?) but we are being told what hotel to stay at, supposedly to make things cheaper.
What I can't understand is, if this is really for the benefit of people, why didn't they do this years ago? Or is there a real reason they are doing it now? The other thing is, the attached list of hotels (which I've not included) looked like the prices I would probably expect to pay for those hotels anyway. They were mostly the budget hotels from what I could see - Premier Inn's etc.
Any one have any thought's on what they are up to here?
November 30, 2012
Re: Dublin, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, and Telford
Dear Brothers:
We always look forward to our annual district conventions where we receive timely spiritual food. You have now received information regarding your convention dates and location. We are writing now to explain a new rooming arrangement.
NEW ROOMING ARRANGEMENT: In order to simplify and assist everyone needing accommodation, the branch office is taking a new approach to rooming for those attending your district convention. This arrangement will only be in selected areas, of which you are a part.
Qualified brothers have approached selected hotels in the convention cities and have negotiated the best rates possible for those attending each convention. They have blocked off a number of rooms in several hotels of good quality. A Recommended hotel List approved by the branch will be placed on the noticeboard at the end of the meeting. This will enable everyone to benefit from the arrangement. (Rom. 8:28) In the past, when hotels were aware that the same venue would be used for consecutive years, they would raise their hotel rates for the dates of our convention. By supporting this new arrangement, it will allow brothers to negotiate cheaper hotel rates for future years.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: From the Recommended Hotel List, you should select the hotel where you would prefer to stay. Each hotel has a unique code which you will need to quote if you are phoning the hotel or type in if you are booking online. All the hotels can be booked from December 10. The convention Rooming Department will monitor the arrangement and provide whatever assistance is needed through the congregation.
What should you do if you have already made a tentative hotel booking? In view of the above, we are encouraging all to support the new arrangement. We encourage you not to book a hotel that is not on the Recommended Hotel List even if you have stayed there in previous years. We hope you can understand the benefits of supporting this arrangement.
YOUR COOPERATION APPRECIATED: The smoothness of how the new rooming arrangement functions will largely depend on the cooperation of everyone involved. We do appreciate many brothers have access to Internet hotel offers, but may we encourage you to support the recommended hotels from the list, which will help to secure better rates. It could result in difficulties if a large number of delegates choose not to use the hotels listed, hut for one reason or another, make their own arrangements. The listing provided is broad enough to give a choice of good quality accommodation whilst using the most cooperative hotels.
• Association with brothers and sisters

They've been saying that for years. And JWs will still go where they want if they so desire.

They've been doing this in the States for years.
Way back in the '70s you'd submit a rooming request slip, tell how many people were in your party, and the Society sent you the motel name that was selected for you. You didn't even get to choose from a list. You were assigned. Period.

They've been doing that for 20+ years in the United States. In fact, they give the publishers a lot of flack if any of them "go off the reservation" and stay at a hotel NOT on the list.

Translation: If the hotels we have made kickback deals with begin to realize that they don't need to pay us off to get our people's business, we won't be able to shake them down for money anymore.

Ah okay then. I was aware that there were similar arrangements in other parts of the world, but this is a new thing here.
I think they might have had some arrangement on a much smaller scale in the past, but I think it was a University Halls of Residence and I don't ever remember anyone asking for a rooming form for there.

Same in Canada = they book the hotels and then send lists to the congregations - you have to book those hotels yourself and pay their rate - you are to say your with the JW convention for the pricing schedule. Has been that way for years..

It's also interesting that they have moved the venue for this year.
Have they also done that to save money, or is it to please some of the Glasgow elder heavies?
Or is it because they were refused McDiarmid park? There was talk of a different venue not long from right after last years convention.

I remember about 8 years ago (give or take) we used to have AWESOME HOTELS on our list. I mean full breakfasts with bacon, eggs, pancakes. Nice swimming pools, suits, tennis courts, hot tubs, THE WORKS. I never booked these rooms because I was a teenager and had to stay with family.
So this year before booking my room I checked out each hotel on trip advisor before calling any of them. Most the rooms, according to trip advisor, had meager breakfasts available (toast and bagels) no swimming pool, and in the seedy part of town. I thought to myself I can deal with that, so i call to make reservations and all of them were booked. The list came out that very week how can they already be booked? Of course we all know that certian people get to look at that list before the congregation and then they make arrangements for their whole famn Damily and friends. There was one hotel that I did not call, its price was lower then all the others so i thought this place must be a whole in the wall dump.Boy did I get that wrong. I checked with trip advisor of course and ALL THE REVIEWS, not one or 2 or a couple 10 years ago, I mean ALL THE REVIEWS EVER for this hotel was "ladys of the night frequent here" and "drug deals went down". This place was ghetto central. I also checked yahoo travel to verify some of these reviews, they too said very simular things. Bad housekeeping, no hot water, gun shots were heard at night, dead bodys found. I told myself I better book a room with them just in case, I need to do what the society tells me to do, Im sure its different now, their website made it look quaint and charming and they were under new ownership. So I called and made the reservation, the woman didnt take any information from me except my name address and phone number. That was weird I thought to myself.
That was when I decided to start calling a hotel I have always stayed at and BEGGED them for a room. I played up our loyalty to this hotel chain, and how I have stayed with them for many many years. I told them how this other hotel that was available was a seedy place full over addicts and hookers and if we stayed there Im sure I would get murdered. Ok I was being a bit dramatic, but I did not want to stay at this place.Why would the society even have us stay there? We used to have KILLER rooms on the list and now they are all dives except for one or two of them.
It all ended up working out for us, after a couple months on a "waiting list", they gave us a suit at the top, not in the JW block, with the same price as a jw block rate. A couple of people in our hall stayed at the seedy hotel and confirmed everything the reviews mentioned. When I told them we were going to stay there until i read the reviews then begged another hotel manager to put us on the list, they chastized us for it! They said I was not obeying the organization or god. They were just jealous that they got stuck in a crap hole.
It does make me wonder, why wont these hotels allow the society to make arrangements with them anymore? Did they screw em over? The WTS said its because people call and make reservations and dont show up or overbook. So its our fault?

1.5 Late Start Day
No School - Martin Luther King Jr Day
JCHS - Parent/Teacher Conferences, 4:30-7:30pm
TES - Bingo Night at Territorial
School Board Meeting 6:00 PM
TES - Fluoride Varnish
JCHS has a great collection of elective offerings including a full music and art programs (K-12), business, and culinary arts. We are also partnering to provide a healthcare careers pathway program which includes college credit and an LCC-issued health occupations certificate for entry level medical work and an edge for admission to competitive nursing programs.
JCHS was awarded a Career and Technical Education (CTE) Revitalization Grant from the Oregon Department of Education for $495,280! This project will improve hands-on opportunities for kids starting in the 2014-15 school year.
The project in a nutshell: The Welding shop moves into the old auto shop, more than doubling facility size and equipment inventory. New machining equipment will include a CNC mill and CNC plasma table. A CNC router table will be added to the adjacent woodshop, and our drafting room will be fully equipped with computers, CAD software, modeling tables, a large format printer and a 3D printer.
Yet, facility upgrades are only the beginning. Core academic teachers will bring CTE learning into their classrooms, adding familiarity and focus to the value of our professional programs. We expect JCHS graduates to have the competitive skills to pursue higher education or enter the workforce directly in the fields of manufacturing, engineering and architecture.
Plans are developing to being a Skills USA chapter. This student entrepreneurship program will allow students to hone their skills for Woods, Metals, Drafting, and Culinary competition.
JCHS would like to thank our industry partners: Lane Community College, OSU Engineering, gLAs Architects, Willamette Valley Company, Knudtson Manufacturing, the Cabinet Factory, NW Stamping & Precision, JAS Industrial, Bulk Handling Systems, and Western Pneumatics.

I have a Lemond Victoire road frame with sloping top tube. Size is a 53. (this is the same geometry as the Zurich).
I want to build up a Propad as a cross bike, but I am not sure which size to get. It is available in a 52 and a 55. It does not have the sloping top tube geometry.
I have been told that with the Propad's geometry it is adviseable to get one size up from what you normally ride with the sloping tube geometry which would be the 55 for me (the sizing skips from 52 to 55 and is not available in a 54).
What do you think? Which would be more appropriate?
My concern with the smaller frame would be that the top tube may be too short.
thanks for your help

Blackpool manager Paul Ince is pleading for the backing of club chairman Karl Oyston as he continues his pursuit to bring Luke Varney back to Bloomfield Road.
The beleaguered Seasiders have suffered a spate of injuries which, combined with a number of suspensions, has left Ince with a depleted squad.
Ince had only 12 senior players to select from ahead of Saturday's 2-0 home defeat to Middlesbrough and is desperate to bolster his options.
The Blackpool boss' prime target is reported to be Leeds United striker Varney, who has made just 10 appearances for the Yorkshire club this term, with Ross McCormack and Matt Smith taking precedence over him.
Varney enjoyed a season-long loan spell at Bloomfield Road in Blackpool's first ever season in the Premier League and Ince admits he would be delighted to receive the backing of his chairman as he attempts to secure the services of the 31-year-old.
"It would be nice if Karl could back me and allow me to get some players in," he claimed in The Sun.
"If you look how light we are, we need some strength in depth.
"On Saturday, we had two 18-year-olds, a player who has been on loan at Carlisle and one who is due to go to Bury. That's where we are."
Varney moved to Elland Road from Portsmouth in 2012 following the end of his loan spell with Blackpool and will be out of contract in the summer should Ince not be able to secure a move in the January transfer window.

Obama says Sharon dedicated his life to IsraelJanuary 11, 2014 @ 2:59 pm
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama on Saturday remembered former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's "commitment to his country," and Vice President Joe Biden will lead the U.S. delegation for the memorial service.
The Israeli soldier-turned-politician-turned statesman died on Saturday, eight years after a stroke put him in a coma. He was 85.
"We join with the Israeli people in honoring his commitment to his country," Obama said in a written statement. Obama also used the occasion to reaffirm "our unshakeable commitment to Israel's security."
"We continue to strive for a lasting peace and security for the people of Israel," Obama said.
Biden said he looked forward to the opportunity "to pay respects to the man and to pay tribute to the unshakeable partnership between the United States and Israel."
Tributes poured in from Secretary of State John Kerry, former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and other Washington leaders.
Kerry said he would never forget meeting "this big bear of a man" after Sharon became prime minister.
"In his final years as prime minister, he surprised many in his pursuit of peace and, today, we all recognize, as he did, that Israel must be strong to make peace, and that peace will also make Israel stronger," said Kerry.
Since becoming America's top diplomat last year, Kerry has made 10 trips to the Middle East, including this month, in hopes of brokering a lasting peace between the Israelis and Palestinians.
"It was an honor to work with him, argue with him, and watch him always trying to find the right path for his beloved country," added Clinton.
Bush, who held office simultaneously with Sharon, called him a friend and "man of courage."
"He was a warrior for the ages and a partner in seeking security for the Holy Land and a better, peaceful Middle East," Bush said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Israel "has lost one of its greatest sons and America a friend."

Caturday: Gabby at work
Maybe she's checking owner/photographer Jim Koepnick's bank account, retouching a photo of her beautiful self, or just wondering what this thing is that her human spends a lot of time staring at, but Gabby seems to be looking at something very intently.
Koepnick says that Gabby likes to jump up in his chair when he gets up to "see what I was doing." Perhaps I need to see if I can train Ruby the Internet Famous Cat to do editing work for me...
We'd love to see photos of your favorite feline soaking up the warmth of an Apple product, chasing a Magic Mouse, or just being a general nuisance while you're attempting to work on your Mac, iPad, or iPhone. Please let us know via our feedback page and please remember that your cat photo has to have some sort of connection to Apple or its products. For security reasons we can't accept inbound attachments, so you should host the photo (Dropbox, Flickr, iPhoto Journals, etc.) and send us the link.
Many thanks to Jim Koepnick and Gabby...

Friday 07 September 2012
Liverpool's Jonjo Shelvey scored one and set up another as England strengthened their claim to qualify for the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship with a 2-0 win against Azerbaijan.
England took the lead in Baku after 28 minutes when Steven Caulker, the Tottenham Hotspur defender who also had two headers cleared off the line, rose highest to meet Shelvey's free-kick, and the Liverpool midfielder crowned a fine display with the visitors' second goal seven minutes from time after Sunderland's Connor Wickham had knocked on Caulker's pass upfield.
Stuart Pearce's side are two points clear of Norway, against whom they must avoid defeat in their final Group Eight game in Chesterfield on Monday to reach the play-offs.

Robbie Brady, of Manchester United, beat Liverpool goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi from the penalty spot but his goal could not prevent a Republic of Ireland side including Arsenal's Conor Henderson from suffering a 2-1 Group 7 defeat by Hungary, which dashed their qualifying hopes.
United team-mate David de Gea kept a clean sheet to help Spain earn a point against Switzerland in Sion. The reigning European champions, including Chelsea midfielder Oriol Romeu, dominated possession but failed to find a breakthrough against the side they beat in last year's final and who lined up with Fulham's Pajtim Kasami in the No 10 role.
Spain nonetheless reached the play-offs as a result of their Group 5 draw.
Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Jordan Archer also had to be on his mettle as he was called upon to make a crucial first-half save from Billy Bernard before Scotland scored three unanswered second-half goals against Luxembourg to keep their qualification prospects alive.
There were also senior players in international action on Thursday night, with Southampton's new signing Maya Yoshida playing all 90 minutes of Japan's friendly against UAE in Tokyo. In a warm-up for their FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday against Iraq, Japan won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Mike Havenaar with Manchester United's Shinji Kagawa featuring in the first half only.
There were also two Premier League players in the Sweden team who beat China 1-0 in Stockholm. Sebastian Larsson, of Sunderland, and West Bromwich Albion defender Jonas Olsson both played the whole of the match, which was won by a goal from former Bolton Wanderers forward Johan Elmander early in the second half.

Senator Jean Fuller issues statement regarding shooting at Taft High School
TAFT, Calif. - Senator Jean Fuller (R-Bakersfield) released the following statement regarding news of a shooting this morning at Taft Union High School:
My thoughts and prayers are with the students, faculty, families and first responders at Taft Union High School this morning. At this moment, their safety and well-being is paramount.
Story -> http://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/report-at-least-one-person-shot-at-taft-high-school
Let me be absolutely clear. Violence directed at our children and teachers in schools is unacceptable.
Not more than a month ago, the nation turned its attention to the horrific violence that occurred in Newtown. As a local resident and community member, elected official and former educator, I know Taft well. It's a community also made up of proud and hard-working residents who send their children to schools to learn.
Those responsible for the deplorable action today must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

PHP + XML + XSLT + OS Xposted July 15th, 2005 at 3:33 pm by chad
I'm going into the last day of a week long XML course at work. The class has been great, despite being completely Microsoft-centric. Despite this, the instructor has done a good job of covering the topics and inspiring many possible projects in my head. Most of these projects are for the day job and will focus mainly on XSL transformations of training manuals.
So, my challenge was to get an XSL parser that works with PHP. A buddy at work informed me that I'd need Sablotron to do XSL with PHP.

An explosive exposé of America's lost prosperity-from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie LeDuff
Back in his broken hometown, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie LeDuff searches the ruins of Detroit for clues to his family's troubled past. Having led us on the way up, Detroit now seems to be leading us on the way down. Once the richest city in America, Detroit is now the nation's poorest. Once the vanguard of America's machine age-mass-production, blue-collar… (mehr)
I drank it down fast and loved every drop.
"Detroit" is not an autopsy; it's a wake — drunk, teary, self-dramatizing, sincerely sorry, bighearted and just a bit full of it.
A book full of both literary grace and hard-won world-weariness.

Time Out says
Posted: Thu Mar 15 2012
Serious runners often load up on calories before a race, but it's a special kind of athlete who consumes a massive amount of carbs mid-dash. Participants at the fourth annual NYC Pizza Run will do just that, stopping at three checkpoints to swallow a slice while trying to outpace each other (and avoid indigestion). Proceeds from the pig-out—as well as its after-party at Common Ground (206 Ave A between 12th and 13th Sts), where you'll find discounted brews ($3) and Cajun Bloody Marys ($4)—will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

New computers – Mac (basics)
December 27th, 2010 by p1, Filed under: Apple, Commentary, Culture, Networking, OT
My father-in-law is a dedicated Apple fanatic (as are a number of my friends). Since I had an MS-DOS machine when we first met, he tagged me as an IBM person. (It was vain to point out that, although I had once installed a Baby 36 for a charity, I did not, in fact, have a System 360 installed in the non-existent basement of my apartment.) He eventually figured out that Microsoft made the operating system, but, even though I have worked on (among others) a predecessor to AOS(VS), Apple DOS, UNIX, TOPS-10, VMS, JCL, and CP/M, and make no secret of my frustrations with Windows, he still considers me to be one of "the enemy."
Well, I've always wanted to have a crack at Macs. I got the first one installed in one company I worked for, over twenty years ago, used it for a while, and, despite the frustrations, was still interested in getting one of my own. So, this year, while I had the need to update at least two machines, and since the price had come down from "completely-out-of-the-question" to merely "obscene," I decided to get one.
The experience has been interesting. I shall, no doubt, have more to say about aspects of operation in the future, but it has been an education to get a new Mac (a MacBook Pro laptop) and take it out of the box.
To give credit where credit is due, I've got to say that I've been impressed with the performance of the Mac and the Safari browser on the Web, which is what I've done with it so far. The overall design is nice, of course. I like the battery life (so far), and the "sleep" mode performance. The machine recognized a generic mouse I plugged into it, and happily connected to the Internet when through a wired LAN. The minimal (well, OK, slightly more than minimal) experience I've had with Mac OS X was quite sufficient to get me started on the machine, and I've even managed to puzzle out some things with the help of the "Help" system (but more on that later).
The big thing with Mac advertising, and Mac devotees, is that the Mac is easy to use "right out of the box." And, yes, that is partially, and possibly even mostly, true. But not completely.
The reason that I needed to plug in a mouse was that I could not figure out how to "choose" or activate something with the trackpad. I could move the pointer around, no problem, but then there were no buttons to push. Tapping didn't work. I remembered seeing people tapping hard on the trackpad on Mac laptops, so I tried that. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn't.
Experienced Mac laptop users will be smirking, of course, knowing what I eventually found out. You don't tap the trackpad, or even tap it hard. You press, deliberately, and you can actually feel a detent "click" when you've pressed hard enough. (And, of course, whatever you wanted to activate gets activated.) This is sort of implied in the documentation (when I found it), but even there isn't really made clear. And it certainly isn't "intuitively obvious."
Ah, yes, the documentation. Once you've figured out how to open up the box the laptop comes in, you take the laptop out of the clear cellophane "envelope," and open it up. Since it is shipped with the battery charged, as soon as you take the protective foam sheet off the keyboard, and figure out the power button (not *too* hard, if you've got good eyes: white on silver is pretty, but not exactly clear) things start happening. Once you've gotten over the excitement, you may notice that there are power cords in a bay at the back of the box. You are less likely to notice that there is a black cardboard envelope nestled into the black packing material at the front of the box. Pulling on a tab in just the right way starts to loosen this, although you still seem to have to find a finger hole in the envelope in order to get it out, and then figure out how to open it. Once you do, you will find a brief booklet which does tell you which of the two power cords is actually a power cord, and which is a mere (and very short) extension cord. It also tells you a few other things that would have been handy, had I not already figured them out by trial and (mostly) error. (There is also a CD or DVD which I haven't yet had the time to try out.)
OK, some of the design is great. (Not insanely, but great.) Not all of it.

Posted 8:37 p.m. MST
By Nico Santos
Ferguson, Mo. is about 1,600 miles from the Desert Southwest, but some locals say it hits just as close to home.
"Not to the degree that we see it in the south, but yes we do see [racial tensions] here," said Alees Langford, a Yuma resident and GED instructor.
Racial tension is an issue we're forced to question, most recently when an officer involved shooting resulted in the death of Michael Brown, a Black 18-year-old man in Ferguson.
"Race relations: We know that continues to be a soft spot for anyone who is not Anglo," said Rev. Alberta Wallace of Yuma United Church of Christ. Rev. Wallace says it's a conversation that should be on-going. She's concerned about how the community in Ferguson is fighting back, saying a peaceful demonstration would have been more effective.
"When things get this far out of hand, people need to go home and be with their families and let the process be done," said Rev. Wallace, "Hopefully after that things will calm down."

Great little tool - makes a nice clean cut on braid, and the built-in retractable leash keeps it out of the way.
Great hip pocket tool. Stows anywhere and cuts about anything. This is one handy tool you will want to have. Service and shipping was spot on as well.

I was warmly greeted and well served. I really liked their IPA and Stout. It's a real friendly place frequented by what I learned were 'regulars.'
Well worth the challenge involved in finding the place!
Great service!
They have a great selection, I had one of each one of their beers. They were all great microbrews but something just didn't stand out. Maybe because I have been to so many microbrews I am becoming desensitized, or maybe that their beers are great just not Awesome. In most microbreweries there seems to be one beer that stands out amongst the rest. Barrios has some really great beer and is a great place to start on the Tuscon Microbrewery Circut but doesn't seem to have one beer that stands out.
I loved the atmosphere the staff seems very helpful but was the typical, "What can I get for you?" When I told him I'm new here the Male bartender let me sample a few 3oz shots but kept shuffeling around serving & cleaning wasn't much of a talker let alone an entertainer.
Next trip I'm gonna try Nimbus before I bring my mug back to Barrio's.
Once there, we picked a high-top table with nice views of the mountains, looking over the "industrial chic" neighborhood (emphasis on "industrial.") Our waitress was very busy, yet, as the saying goes, if you want something done...give it to...a gal who took our orders promptly, double-checked the coupla ways we'd customized our orders, & had water and my PORTER to the table in a matter of 2 or 3 minutes.
PORTER--ahhh, I can see why it won awards. Thick head that retained a long time. Malty aroma with a hint of hoppiness. Full mouth feel with a massive complex of flavors, bitter chocolate, hints of coffee and I dunno what else--I thought it more complex, to my surprise, than the OATMEAL STOUT that followed. The stout was fine, mind you, and I'm a big fan of stouts, but the porter was transcendent!
Food: -Diane Burger: we got it on the multigrain bread, which complemented the wine-marinaded burger to a tee. -Beer-battered fries: piping hot, flat-cut, and delicious. -Pantini: roast beef and cheddar. A tad dry, but served with horse-radish mayo on the side so you could wet it as little or as much as you wanted.
Prices: Pint was $3.70...a great place to start,... BUT...as their web page sez: when the railguards are down, the pint price goes down, too, so pay attention (duh, the train tootley-toots at the level crossing just a coupla hundred feet away!)
The final word--YUM!
My beef with teh brews at GB/BBP is the consistency of their quality: I love their IPA when it doesn't taste like a cold class of hoppy yeast. I love the Red Cat Amber Ale, the Copperhead Pale and the Bear down nut brown when the live up to the hype. The Nolan Porter is usually consistently good, which is why it's served in a small glass (at 10% abv you don't need to hurry this one).
That's why it's just "good" in my book, not great.

APX Labs Nabs $10M Round
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- Smart glasses and wearable visual computing continue to attract capital, with software developer APX Labs raising $10 million from New Enterprise Associates, in a deal announced Tuesday.
APX's Skylight software platform allows smart glasses such as Google's (GOOG) Google Glass or Epson America's Moverio to integrate data and content from corporate systems developed by SAP (SAP) Microsoft (MSFT) and others.
The technology would allow remote workers for an energy company or medical staff to access manuals or instructional videos, or relay visual communications to a physically remote superior, without using their hands or stopping work, among other applications.
"Wearables are the next exciting mobile platform," APX co-founder and CEO Brian Ballard said.The investment increased APX's total capital raise to $15.8 million. NEA partners Peter Barris and Dayna Grayson will join the board of the Herndon, Va., company. Though on a much smaller scale, the deal followed Facebook's (FB) blockbuster $2 billion purchase of virtual reality hardware developer Oculus. Facebook's purchase is not directly analogous. APX develops software, not hardware. Oculus makes virtual reality headsets that provide a view of an alternate reality, unlike smart glasses that augment vision with displays. However, medical, educational and other uses of the products overlap.

The facade of Harpa is the work of an artist, the Icelandic-Danish Olafur Eliasson, who gets more attention and a higher billing than the hall's architects, the 52-year-old practice Henning Larsen Architects. They wear sober suits; Eliasson's leather waistcoat and silver-framed shades suggest creative leadership. His job is to provide that service that would once have been performed by Corinthian columns and statues of buxom nudes: to endow the house of culture with meaning and importance. — guardian.co.uk

Rail equipment supplier Trinity Industries told a state agency it will close a railcar manufacturing plant in Fort Worth, Texas, for an undetermined period of at least six months, and furlough 158 workers until demand returns for new freight-hauling cars.
In a notice filed last week to the Texas Workforce Commission under the plant-closing law known as the WARN Act (for Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification), the company said its Trinity North American Freight Car plant "will be idled and cease operations" as of Oct. 20.
Dallas-based Trinity is North America's largest railcar builder, and like other suppliers has been hit hard by the sharp drop in freight traffic in the past year, which led railroads, leasing companies and shippers to idle many pieces of equipment already in their fleets and stop ordering most new cars.
While the closure of the Fort Worth factory, Trinity said, "is not intended to be permanent, it is unclear when business conditions will improve to the point where the plant will be reopened."
And the company warned it could decide to close the factory after all.
"Trinity's intention is to reopen the plant as soon as business conditions warrant," said plant manager Gary Blevins in a letter supplied by the commission. Yet for now, he wrote, it is "unforeseeable how long the closure will last and it could become permanent. In any case, the plant is expected to remain closed for at least six months."
He attached a list of workers affected, 82 of whom are welders or related workers, with the rest ranging from machine operators and metal fabricators to foremen, a nurse and the plant manager.
Their separations will take place over 14 days, and Blevins wrote that "employees should have no expectation of recall."

"Great substitute for a real full on paella! We cooked it once and loved it so much that we are doing it again. The only thing we changed was to add paella spice mix instead of real saffron as we didn't have whole strands on hand. And we decorated the end result with sliced red and green bell peppers. Yum yum yum! Not too fishy, a bit of smokiness..."
