UI/UX is an after-thought (278 comments)
All to often, in business (of all types), the whole concept of designing something to be useful/usable is ignored, overlooked, and generally considered a waste of time. When presented with the idea of 1 hours to throw a crappy form together, or 1 day to lay it out properly (size text fields accordingly, put things in a logical order, set up server sessions to save data between pages, add decent validation, etc), most people at the management level will choose quick and cheap any day of the week. They don't care one bit how things look or work, as long as it doesn't affect them.
Ban Politicians (230 comments)
Start updating TOS to state that anyone who is in public office is banned from visiting or viewing a site. Then start sending the bastards to jail for violating... ok well, none of them would actually go to jail, but it may cause enough stir to get this whole stupid idea tossed out.
Personally (320 comments)
I don't think it will take off anytime in the near future. The way that we interact with computers is so ingrained in us that the 3D paradigm is just to foreign for the average user. Sure, movies make it look cool and easy, but out side of gaming and CAD, there just isn't an accepting market. Meanwhile, if you do want to get into 3D development (dons flameproof suit and hunkers down for the inevitable explosion), Flash is still a viable option. Using the Air platform you can target Windows and Mac desktop, Android and IOS (as apps), and with little to no code change, also target any browser that still has the Flash Player installed. At the moment, that's the best option for developing 3D and hitting the highest number of platforms. However, expect much hate and discontent from nerds and fanbois when you mention developing anything in Flash.

why? because we can. not because its a good idea, or because there's some potential great end to it, but simply because we can. there is a certain thrill in the accomplishment that transcends any need for a good reason why. and sometimes, just sometimes, "because we can" is the best damn reason ever. other times its utterly f*cking stupid, YMMV.

i can say from experience that neither one is even remotely qualified to manage nuclear weapons. hell, lets be honest, most people people at the management level, civilian and military alike, shouldnt even be managing their own breakfast choices, let alone nuclear weapons, or worse- other people (yes, i consider people much more dangerous than nuclear weapons, but thats just my opinion).

i swear i read an article in discover magazine (i know, a magazine, it was that long ago) about some researcher that had hooked up electrodes to a patient and taught them how to control a mouse cursor, and later and electric wheelchair with their mind. it became and autonomic function, just like moving your arm (i hate the term "thought controlled", you dont really "think" about moving, its subconscious function) and it was done using a basic EEG(?). am i imagining this, or does anyone else remember this as well? its quite possible that this is a completely incorrect memory thought, i was a kid at the time and i read a lot of sci-fi, so its very possible my memories of real-sci have mixed with my memories of sci-fi

Designing for the (ignorant) masses (233 comments)
One of the big problems in design these days (in all manners of design, including UI's in cars) is that the average consumer has no idea that things like this are a bad idea. They don't think about how tactile feedback, or how much they'll have to take their eyes off the road, or auditory input with visual output, or any manner of things that people like us (/.'s) think of. They think that touch is high tech, and therefore better (regardless of the implementation), they put form over function, they want the newest and flashiest, even if it isn't the best. Good design takes a back seat to "cool" design more often than not, because the mass public only wants what's new, shiny and cool. Every now and then, good design and cool design intersect and everybody wins, but it's rare.
Your son is right (342 comments)
WYSIWYG editors are great for beginners. but, as most everyone has pointed out, they invariably generate messy code. once you've gotten past the beginner stage, you need to get your hands in the code and learn to do things properly. i realize that designers are often quick to say that you should use an editor, but lets look at it this way- would you take carpentry advice from a plumber? probably not. so why would you take advice on coding a website from a designer? and as for using the tools to generate the code, then going back and cleaning up, personally i find that to be more work than just doing it right the first time. hand coding isnt hard, and the more you do it, the faster you get at it.
Re:Multiple translations = good (326 comments)
Maybe it'll help a few of the more ignorant Christians realize that the King James version is not the one allegedly handed down by god.

Re:none (423 comments)
well, theres the whole "walled garden" thing, and there's apple's tendency to simply stop supporting legacy hardware (which i agree with wholeheartedly, but can be considered an abusive practice), and theres the "apple tax" on desktops and laptops (sure, we can debate the merits of apple's "quality", or their warranties, but at the end of the day, i can buy an equally spec'd machine with windows on it for roughly half of what i would pay for a mac, and do as much, if not more on it than i could on a mac. and if i build it myself, i can probably do it even cheaper.). my comment wasnt a comparison of ms vs apple, but simply a statement of how we, as americans, have a tendency to move from one abusive product provider to another, and we laud how great the new abuser is until we get tired of the way they beat us, and we move again to a different form of abuse.
Re:none (423 comments)
and eventually even fat stupid Americans catch on and figure out that you're abusing them
So what will these "fat stupid Americans" switch to? Linux? Or will Apple start selling machines at a reasonable price and achieve larger market share?
most likely we'll say "we're tired of being flogged by microsoft, lets go to apple and get caned instead!". we americans have a high capacity for allowing corporations to abuse us (maybe not those of us who read
questions i ask in the interview (525 comments)
im not overly popular with typical HR people, cause i ask lots of questions during the initial interview, such as: how do you handle performance reviews? how is management reviewed (top down, 360, etc)? it weeds out bad places to work real quick. plus, its really fun to see the look on an interviewers face when theyre put on the spot.

Carhartt Men's 6" Unlined Safety Toe Work Boots
Sturdy, Solid Work Boots
Was looking to get away from my Timberlands as their quality, like Doc Martin, has been less than stellar. Ordered these with low expectations knowing I could send them back if needed. I am happy to report that these boots exceeded my expectations. They are solid, extremely sturdy, quite comfortable and look great. I would highly recommend them. Fit is true to size.

Lecce have added three new players to their squad as Edward Ofere, Andrea Rispoli and Manuel Coppola agree switches to Stadio Via del Mare.
Nigeria international Ofere, 24, has signed a permanent deal with the Serie A club after moving from Swedish side Malmo, where he had been for five years.
Defender Rispoli, 21, has joined Lecce on a season-long loan from Parma, as has experienced midfielder Coppola.
The 28-year-old spent the last campaign on loan at Torino, and has played for a number of clubs including Genoa and Siena.
Lecce were thrashed 4-0 by AC Milan on the opening weekend of the Italian season, and coach Luigi De Canio has opted to strengthen in the wake of the result.

Eat pizza. Help the Gale Sayers Foundation. Easy enough, right?
Bricks Wood Fired Pizza will donate $2 for every "Kansas Comet" pizza sold to the Gale Sayers Foundation's Hall of Fame Mission, which brings innovative and technology-based learning methods to underfunded schools. Bears legend Gale Sayers – nicknamed the "Kansas Comet" because of his Kansas roots – played a part in determining the pizza's toppings: Mild sausage, spicy sausage, banana peppers, applewood smoked bacon and roasted red peppers.
"Gale's favorite pizza topping is a mild & spicy sausage mix," said Ric Gruber Jr., spokesperson for Bricks and the Gale Sayers Foundation. "However, in typical Bricks fashion they decided to take a good pie and make it even better with the unique combination of toppings you see that made the final cut. For Bricks it was about creating a pizza that is consistent with the brand and creating a pie that can remain on the menu for a long time to come and with its uniqueness potentially...

According to a Soho House spokesperson, "Due to circumstances outside of Pizza East and Wasalu Jaco's control, Sunday's Art Talk and exhibit scheduled from 12pm – 2pm in Pizza East has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to reschedule this event soon.")
Lupe Fiasco is keeping busy this week. Besides releasing and promoting his new album, "Tetsuo & You," the Chicago rapper – who will perform Wednesday on NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers" – is bringing his art collection to Pizza East, the restaurant inside Soho House Chicago.
The collection will be on display and available for purchase beginning Friday and includes original artwork from his new album and pieces from his most recent collection. Fiasco (real name: Wasalu Muhammad Jaco) will be on hand Sunday to discuss the art during a reception titled "Art Talk with Wasalu Jaco." Email Sara Fahlgren at firstname.lastname@example.com...

Here's where the Bears' running back was spotted this week, as well as other recent sports sightings in the Chicago area:
- Forte and his wife had an early dinner Tuesday at Jellyfish.
- The Bulls' Derrick Rose dined Saturday at RPM Steak for the second time in three weeks and then hung out at The Underground. This after I wrote two weeks ago that I'm surprised I don't hear about more Rose sightings. The Cubs' Jon Lester visited RPM Steak Thursday and the Blackhawks' Patrick Kane was there Sunday.
- The Bulls' Pau Gasol and Nazr Mohammed dined Saturday at Sunda, as did the Cubs' Miguel Montero, separately.
- The Cubs' Anthony Rizzo dined Saturday at RPM Italian before heading to Three Dots and a Dash. Also spotted Saturday at Three Dots and a Dash: The Blackhawks' Corey Crawford...
Read moreJeremy Roenick is furious with actor Seth Rogen for comparing Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper" to the fake propaganda film that glorified a Nazi sniper in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Basterds."
The NBC hockey analyst and former Blackhawk stood up for Chris Kyle -- the sniper whose autobiography inspired the Oscar-nominated movie -- after Rogen tweeted on Sunday "American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that's showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds." Roenick retweeted a portion of actor Dean Cain's tweet on Monday, which, in its entirety, said "Seth...I like your films, but right now, I wanna kick your ass. Chris is an American Hero. Period. Go to war. Then we'll talk." Roenick then added, "Im next w/my hockey stick."
It wasn't just Rogen who felt Roenick's ire. He also called out director Michael Moore for tweeting on Sunday "My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes. And invaders r worse...
Read moreEvery once in a while you'll see a famous face in the crowd at a Bulls game. There were two on hand last week that I know of. And if the Bulls can make a run at the NBA title as some are predicting, it's safe to assume there will be a lot more. Here are those Bulls game sightings and a couple more from around the Chicago area:
- Latin pop star Prince Royce attended Wednesday's Bulls-Washington Wizards game at the United Center. If you don't know who Royce is, that means you didn't read my profile on him in Aug. Don't worry, I'm only slightly offended. Fall Out Boy guitarist Pete Wentz was on hand for Saturday's Bulls-Atlanta Hawks game.
- Kevin Costner ("Field of Dreams") watched football Jan. 11 at Stanley's.
- Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson hosted the LGBT-focused Turn It Up For Change fundraiser Wednesday at the W Chicago-Lakeshore hotel.

Several Cubs players attended the fourth annual Wood Family Foundation benefit Friday at Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch in Water Tower Place, as usual. The difference was I didn't hear as many guests ask "Which ones are the Cubs players?" as I did during past Cubs functions. Rather than laugh about the Cubs' chances this upcoming season, guests laughed about the bleacher renovation situation at Wrigley Field. And for the first time ever, I found myself asking questions on the red carpet that included the words "World" and "Series."
OK, I didn't actually ask about the possibility of the Cubs winning the World Series, which is what Sporting News boldly predicted will happen this year. I asked about the Cubs World Series reference last week on NBC's "Parks and Recreation." During the episode, which was based, in part, in Chicago...

Each year, the City of West Hollywood celebrates Pride month through the artistic contributions of our community with the One City One Pride Arts Festival. For 2014, the One City One Pride Arts Festival will run from Harvey Milk Day (May 22) through the end of June.
2014's festival theme: 'I Do'
On June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court rendered decisions allowing for marriage equality in California and striking down the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 as unconstitutional. In celebration of the one year anniversary of this monumental day, and of the hundreds of same-sex marriages that were performed in the City of West Hollywood in the days following this historic decision, the theme for the 2014 West Hollywood LGBTQ Arts Festival is 'I Do.' 'I Do' represents an affirmation, a promise, a commitment, and a celebration of love.
There's two ways to navigate the festival events, by map or by calendar:
Did you attend one of our events? We would love to receive feedback! You can find our feedback survey here!
Just a small handful of upcoming highlights include:
- INTERFACE: The Marriage Project, Friday and Saturday, June 27 and 28, 2014, 8 pm — This program will feature a new work titled "I Do" that will feature members of the LGBTQ community performing with MXD dancers in two shows that correlate with Marriage Equality Day, the day the Supreme Court made same-sex marriage legal in California again. "I Do" will integrate live dancing with video projections and audience interaction via mobile devices and social media. Dancers will share testimonies via video confessionals of their personal experiences relating to issues of equal rights and move through these experiences in dancing conversations with each other. Two shows will take place on consecutive nights at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 27, 2014, and on Saturday, June 28, 2014, at Plummer Park's Fiesta Hall, located at 7377 Santa Monica Boulevard. Admission is free and the event is open to the public.
- Reception for "The Classical Nude and the Making of Queer History" Saturday, June 28, 2014 from 6-9 pm -which investigates the continued centrality of the classical nude over centuries of art making. This exhibition at the ONE Archives Gallery & Museum is a condensed preview of a groundbreaking exhibition that will open at the Leslie Lohman Museum in New York in October 2014. Presented by: ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives
- The Last Bastion: A Conversation on Queer and Feminist Museum Politics, Monday, June 30, 6:30 pm - an engaging talk featuring Dr. Amelia Jones and Dr. Jonathan D. Katz, two leading Queer Theorists and art historians to examine how art can serve as activism, and the 'Last Bastion' of museum politics. Funded as part of the City Arts Grant program and presented by CA LGBT Arts Alliance, June Mazer Lesbian Archives, and The City of West Hollywood.
To see high-resolution photos of previous One City One Pride events including the kickoff reception and outdoor digital art event, ONE Night, please visit the City's Flickr account at www.flickr.com/weho.
Of course the biggest event happening during Pride is the LA Pride Parade and Festival produced by our community partner Christopher Street West on June 7 and 8. (along with several free to the community events in the days just prior). For details, tickets and the entertainment line-up, visit www.lapride.org.

Photographer Andrew Michael Golden has taken some of the most popular characters from Studio Ghibli films and created renderings of what they would like in real life.
Some of the main characters featured include Totoro from 'My Neighbor Totoro,' No-Face from 'Spirited Away' and Ponyo from 'Ponyo'. The photos were mostly created by computer renderings but also include real-life animals that have been manipulated to resemble the lovable characters from the popular films. Also, Golden utilized some stock photos to create characters like Porco Rosso from the film of the same name.
While some are spot-on, others appear sinister with a serious monster-like vibe (Totoro, anyone?). Anime and photography fans alike are sure to get a kick out of this obscure set and may never look at their favorite characters the same way again.

A drubbing for same-sex marriage
The resounding "no" that voters gave to officially recognizing homosexual couples as married marks a major setback for the gay-marriage movement - and shows how the issue continues to divide the nation politically and geographically.
In all 11 states where they were on the ballot, measures banning same-sex marriage won - in most states overwhelmingly. Even in socially liberal Oregon, where gay-rights activists poured resources into defeating the measure, it passed handily. The other states where the measure passed were Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Utah.
"Given the success of these measures, we can expect other states to follow suit," says Craig Rimmerman, professor of political science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, N.Y.
With judges and elected officials in Massachusetts, Oregon, New Jersey, Louisiana, California, and elsewhere weighing in, there's no doubt the issue has considerable political significance.
But this week's votes can also be seen in the broader context of how society changes - and has been changing - on issues involving deeply held values touching on religious beliefs and human identity. "The general trend in the last decade or so has been towards more acceptance of gay and lesbian people in a variety of contexts," says William Lunch, professor of political science at Oregon State University in Corvallis.
Politically, most of that has happened at the state and local level, including among businesses and other private institutions. Domestic partnerships are recognized in many cases for purposes of granting employment benefits. Laws prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation in housing and other areas. For the most part, "don't ask, don't tell" has worked in the military since former President Clinton ordered that change in 1993. Vermont led the way in granting official status to same-sex "civil unions" that include virtually all the legal benefits of marriage between a man and a woman.

State geologist highlights importance of Colorado's gas, uranium deposits
Friday, May 15, 2009
Governor's debate
Former Colorado governors Bill Owens, a Republican who served from 1999 to 2007, and Richard Lamm, a Democrat who served from 1975 to 1987, will debate the existence, causes and effects of climate change at 11:30 a.m. today.
The debate is part of the Fueling Thought Energy Summit 2009 event at the Holiday Inn of Craig.
The debate is open to all registered attendees of the Energy Summit. See Saturday's Daily Press, or visit www.craigdailypre..., for a recap.
There are a few unmistakable realities in the world.
One of them, Vince Matthews thinks, is that increasing energy demands are unstoppable.
Another is that Colorado has a wealth of mineral and energy reserves that could be vital in meeting national and global appetites.
Matthews, Colorado state geologist and director of Colorado Geological Survey, presented his views during the first seminar Thursday morning of the Fueling Energy Summit 2009, hosted by Yampa Valley Partners at the Holiday Inn of Craig.
"Every part of the world is increasing its use of electricity and natural resources," he said. "In Colorado, we're extremely rich in mineral resources and energy."
Matthews added it would not surprise him if the federal government, which owns 36 percent of the state, became more interested in harvesting local resources as the world depletes its current energy supply.
"As the pain increases in the east, the pressure to develop these resources (in Colorado) is going to be immense," he said.
That means more coal, and likely more uranium to feed nuclear plants.
"People like to think of coal as a 19th century fuel," Matthews said. "It's not. It's a 20th century fuel and a 21st century fuel."
The United States gets about 93 percent of its energy from coal, oil, uranium and natural gas, he said. The other 7 percent comes from renewables in the following amounts: 2.5 percent from hydroelectric, 3.6 percent from biomass, 0.3 percent from wind, 0.3 percent from geothermal and 0.1 percent from solar.
"You can see, as a nation, if we were to increase our solar and wind 10 times over in the next five years, which would be a tremendous accomplishment, we would not be very far along," Matthews said.
Pam Kiely, who attended the seminar as a representative from Environment Colorado, a Denver-based environmental lobby group, said Matthew's view is shortsighted.
It is true, Kiely said, that renewables are a small fraction of the country's energy supply. But, investment in those resources is not a lost cause.
"He was looking very much at what we need, and what we have today, as opposed to thinking more aggressively in a progressive direction," Kiely said.
The country needs to multiply its use of renewables by 50 times, she added.
"It's something we can achieve with a very targeted approach, like putting the man on the moon," she said.
Colorado itself has gone from "zero to 60" in the past three years, she said. Energy providers in the state are on track to exceed their target of acquiring 10 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2020.
Kiely specifically cited Xcel Energy, which provides a lot of Yampa Valley Electric's power, as one company on pace to exceed its target.
"If we can do it in Colorado, it serves as a road map for what we can do all over," she said.
Matthews is not opposed to developing renewables. He said natural gas is not the silver bullet answer but rather every energy source available.
Oil, however, should not be looked at as a viable fuel in the long term or even the immediate future, he said.
There is a "rose-colored glasses" crowd that would have people think world oil production has not yet peaked, that there is room for growth that can sustain the world for a few more years, Matthews said.
"All fields, basins and countries reach a peak, and then they decline," he said.
U.S. production peaked around 1970, and there is no way to turn that around, Matthews added. All former Soviet Union countries likely peaked in 2008 and Saudi Arabia has plateaued.
"Looking at all this, are we going to peak in 2030?" he asked.
The world won't really know when it reaches peak production until it's looking in the rearview mirror, Matthews said.
In the meantime, it should plan on developing other resources, he added, including Colorado's natural gas and uranium deposits.
State Sen. Al White, R-Hayden, asked whether Colorado could rebound from the current energy decline when other states - Louisiana, New York and Pennsylvania - have newly discovered, and more economically viable, oil and gas shale deposits.
The senator joined state Rep. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs and Rio Blanco County Commissioner Ken Parsons on Thursday afternoon in kicking off the Energy Summit.
Matthews said he has heard the viability of deposits in other states have been exaggerated, that many will have an 80-percent decline in production after a year.
If that's true, then Colorado's future should be all right once the economy recovers, he said.
Part of him, however, hopes it's false.
"That development would be wonderful for the nation," Matthews said. "Not so good for Colorado, though."

Wise words from Vince Matthews. Not only about how we'll continue to need coal and how we should be considering more nuclear energy, but how folks with rose-colored glasses think oil grows on trees and we don't need to bother aggressively transitioning to alternative energy technologies. You guys want to learn something? Watch this documentary: "A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash" (http://www.oilcrashmovie.com/). You don't have to agree with all the points raised in this movie, but many of their arguments are indisputable. If you don't want to rent the movie, Google "peak oil" and do some reading. Again, I'm not buying into the most extreme views that within the next 10 years we'll see the apocalypse, but no one can dispute the basic premise of peak oil.
NorthwestNative 5 years, 8 months ago
We have to face facts - mineral resources have limits and regardless of how long it takes, eventually oil, natural gas, coal, etc.. will reach a point when they can no longer be commerially recovered. So let's invest in resources that are virtually unlimited - wind and sun! Good for energy, good for environment, good for the bank account!

I drive a 2009 Subaru WRX sedan quite regularly (my dad is founder, president, and perhaps only member of the Fifty-Year-Old Jewish Professional WRX Owners Club). For about $25,000, it's a strong proposition, offering lots of power, all-wheel-drive traction, decent handling, excellent front seats, and Japanese reliability for the price of a modestly equipped mid-size car. Considering the value, I can gladly overlook flaws like numb steering and so-so shift action.
The STI, however, is a more complicated story. It's better at all the things the WRX is already good at -- even quicker acceleration, flatter handling, more traction -- but it fails to address the drawbacks. Steering is still numb, and even with a short-throw shifter and an extra gear, shifts feel sloppy for a sports car. The interior is functional but lacks for style and materials quality. And despite the cosmetic enhancements, the Impreza still is not a particularly attractive vehicle. Again, these are acceptable imperfections for $25,000. For $35,000, there are other options. I'd consider a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo GSR, Ford Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro SS, and BMW 135i (slightly more expensive, but worth it). That said, the STI still has its selling points. For one, none of the vehicles just mentioned offer as much practicality. It's a four-seasons, four-door sports car that yields decent fuel economy, although it does drink very heavily when you drive aggressively and has sufficient cargo room even in sedan form. If those qualities match your requirements, the STI is certainly worth a look. But so is the cheaper WRX.
David Zenlea, Assistant Editor
This STI sounds awesome at idle when you're standing behind the car, as I learned while warming it up on a cold morning. And from inside the Subaru, the glorious sound continues through much of the flat four's rev range. I think it's more fun to listen to the sounds of the engine in the STI than that of its Mitsubishi Lancer Evo MR archrival, particularly since Subaru offers a stick shift in its most powerful rally star. That fact alone would probably lead me to buy an STI over an Evo MR with its high-tech, quicker, but less involving TC-SST dual-clutch automatic. Most likely, though, I'd pick a base Evo and enjoy its slicker shifting gearbox, better steering, cooler looks (in my opinion), and lower monthly payments.
I almost slipped on my ice-glazed driveway when I got home late last night, but the sticky Pirelli Sottozero winter tires on the STI had given me little hint as to the marginal conditions of the roadways; they just kept begging me to push this amazingly grippy car harder and harder. Don't mind if I do.

AngularJS samples written in TypeScript are not that common on the internet. I get frequently asked how to write an AngularJS provider in TypeScript. Here is a "Hello World" sample.

Comboboxes that depend on each other are a common requirement in time cockpit. Example: Once a customer is selected, the project combobox should only contain the selected customer's projects. Configuring dependent comboboxes isn't complex. This blog article describes how you can do it in custom forms and lists.
Recently I did a WiX (Windows Installer XML) and MSI training at a customer in Germany. One of the questions I got asked was how to deliver large MSI installers efficiently to customers via web. The goal was to minimize download time. In this blog article I describe a possible approach.
This week I will do another one of my Windows Installer XML (WiX) trainings in Germany. In this blog article I summarize the prerequisites that participants need in order to follow along the samples.
As announced last month, we have made more performance improvements this month. This time we have focused on the client database. If it takes some time to open the time sheet form in the calendar in your environment, the new version may improve the loading time significantly.
Time cockpit has had support for time sheet templates for years. For this version we have completely redesigned this concept and added support for scripts. That enables fascinating new possibilities for integrating time cockpit with external systems.
Last week I was speaker at a large conference in Germany. Although I mainly covered technical topics concerning software development, the most asked questions weren't around programming. Instead, people complained that their bosses prevent innovation by not allowing them to invest time and money in promising new technologies or methods. Stop complaining, start making the problem transparent and measurable instead.
Recently we got a question from a customer who wanted to access time cockpit's OData web API using Visual Studio 2013 and C#. We thought it would be a good idea to create a short video demonstrating how this is done because it might be interesting for other people, too.
Today I will do my OData session at BASTA conference in Mainz again. This time I have a bit more time so I will add a demo of creating a custom OData provider without any underlying database. The result is generated based on the OData query on the fly. In this blog article I share the code.
Today I will do a session at German BASTA Conference about C# code quality. In this blog I want to share my slides and the samples I am using.

More reviews by addictedreader
Really they should fix this one. I do love the scent and it does leave skin soft but it's expensive, you need to use a lot, it gives no bubbles and it's not good having to dig in your hand especially if you want to add more to the bath. If they called it a cream bath, upped the scent and changed the packaging then I would probably buy it pretty often. Otherwise it's something I would only buy every several years on a big sale- it's just not worth the hassles. Yummy scent though.
This is heaven in a jar! For me, there is nothing like an awesome bubble bath to take the edge of the week off, and I need a quality product for that. Yes it's expensive at about $25 a jar, but if you only use it once or twice a week it should last about 5-6 months. You have to hand scoop the product out, but one generous scoop is all you need. As soon as you crack open the jar, the most beautiful, relaxing, lemony sugar ginger scent emerges and takes over the whole house (my man can smell it all the way at the back door when I'm in the bathroom using it). The consistency is that of banana pudding, and it's thick irridiscent swirls fluff up into a magical tub of scented bubbles as you disperse it under the water. This product is definitely worth the price. Once you try it, you will go back again and again.

LUXURY. :) I love this stuff, and i love how you have to scoop it out with your hand. It's luxury creme in a jar!
If you like soft, luxurious baths, you'll love this product. Its not meant to be full of bubbles, but softens the water. I received this jar as a Christmas present two years ago and slowly but surely fell in love. Its a soft almost lemony ginger smell and silky. After I finished it, I had to buy another jar; yes, it was a little expensive but so worth it. This year, I received another jar (yeah!) and will continue to buy and love it. I'd say this product is for the more sophisticated noses... its not sweet or strong, its soft and gentle and makes my bathroom smell wonderful, too. I'll have to get around to trying the rest of the products in this line. And I agree with the previous reviewer; the only con was that you must scoop out the product; wish it had a pump. I do wish it had received better reviews here so more people would try it; I'd hate for it to be discontinued!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The bubble bath smells wonderful and it's a treat that I savor. The scent is wonderful, and the bubbles do not last too long. Due to the cost, I only buy this two or three times a year - it is my all time favorite.
I adore the smell of this and go into a trance if I sniff it for too long. For that reason alone I buy it as I would never normally pay this much for bath stuff.
Scent aside it is a low foaming gentle bath cream, makes the water milky and it leaves my skin soft, but then so do much cheaper ranges.
I've given it a high rating simply because I'm a huge fan of the smell.
Yes, this is a fabulous product. I love it. It can be used in the shower too. Great warm spicey scent. It has more scent than Ginger Burst which is well scented but there is little lather . Only a little is needed for great bubbles and scent. We all know bubbles do nothing really but hey, we love our bubbles !
For someone who really regretted getting Ginger Essence, I am addicted to the whole line of Ginger by Origins.
I love Origins Ginger ANYTHING and this bubble bath is luxurious, producing lots of bubbles and smells like the rest of the Ginger line. I am not a huge fan of the fact that you have to get your hand into the jar to get it out into the tub as I prefer to squeeze bubble bath under the faucet, but that's really the only complaint I have. Fabulous otherwise. A little pricey.
More reviews by getsinyoureyes
This was an impulse purchase, but now I regret it. I should have read the reviews here first. I'm giving this a low rating primarily because it sucks at its main purpose, to be a bubble bath. The scent is wonderful, and I like the concept of a cream bubble bath, but even when I use very generous quantities, I barely get any bubbles and the bubbles I do get are merely a thin layer of foam that are gone before the ten minute mark is up. If you love this scent as I do, there are much better ways to get your fix since Origins has so many products now with this scent. I would recommend not bothering with this lame bubble bath.
I love this product!!! As others have said I only use it as a shower cream not a bubble bath. So paying 25.00 for 17 oz when you only use a little bit on a shower poof is a really good price!!
Love the whole ginger origns line!! I use this in the shower followed by the ginger gloss when my skin is still damp then I follow with the ginger rush (only ava during christmas and mom's day) Makes my skin sooooo soft!! Will def repurchase!!! :)

The secret to this recipe is cooking the beef in 1 cup of oil to seal in the juices, and cooking the broccoli in water to make it crisp and tender. For a more authentic touch, try using Chinese broccoli, which has an appearance and taste similar to asparagus.
1426 people marked it a Favorite, 753 people marked it a Try
Yield: 4 Ready in 30 minutesjleong1920 , 5 years agoBecause I didn't have a taste for broccoli when I made this, I used the recipe to make Chinese pepper steak instead. I followed the recipe up until it called for broccoli. I also didn't clean out the pan after removing the beef. I sauted like 1/2 a yellow onion before adding 2 small to medium sized green peppers (both roughly chopped) until tender. I let the onions get a head start so the peppers would still have a slight crunch. After they were finished, I removed them and deglazed the pan with about 1/2c. of sherry. Scraping up the brown bits and after the alcohol has cooked off add everything back into the pan as in step #9 (w/o the oil) and let thicken. Enjoy over steamed rice.
scturner97 , 5 years agoVery good

A week after the General Services Administration launched a governmentwide wireless services "family plan" that federal agencies can use to buy packages of service minutes and mobile devices, it unveiled another plan to help manage those services, phones and mobile security.
The new Managed Mobility Program, GSA officials said in a May 30 announcement, streamlines the procurement process for agencies to get mobile device management, mobile application management, and mobile lifecycle management solutions through existing government-wide contracts and purchase agreements.
The Managed Mobility Program complements the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative blanket purchase agreement with AT&T, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile and Verizon that the agency announced on May 22. That BPA makes available uniform, less expensive, pre-set packages of voice and data minutes, along with the mobile devices themselves, for government users to choose from.
According to GSA, the new Managed Mobility Program embeds mobile management seamlessly into an agency's IT portfolio by creating and maintaining a list of potential sources of supply that meet the greatest number of government requirements. Agencies can use the program's central repository, information, and staff to help buy the solutions that best meets their requirements.
"GSA has done the initial work to define requirements, identify potential sources of supply, and secure some baseline pricing to help agencies budget for these purchases," said Mary Davie, GSA Assistant Commissioner, Office of Integrated Technology Services.
"With the near-universal adoption of smart mobile technology across the federal workforce, GSA's role as America's buyer for the mobile work environment is more important than ever," said GSA Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini, in a statement. "GSA's Managed Mobility program gives agencies the tools they need to buy once and buy well, saving taxpayer dollars and keeping pace with leading-edge mobile technologies."
The program is the latest step in GSA's journey towards more sensible wireless services and devices procurement and management, said Warren Suss, president of Suss Consulting. The new management plan, he said, is even more compelling since the government released the Federal Mobile Security Baseline, on May 23, that sets a minimum set of security controls for federal agencies' mobile devices.
Taken as a package, the FSSI, the Managed Mobility Program and the Mobile Security Baseline, show the federal government is gaining on a comprehensive mobile policy, said Suss.
However, there are still gaps in how the government manages wired and wireless devices and services, especially in light of the move towards cloud-based capabilities, said Suss. Specifically, he pointed to regulations covering secure identification and access management and the Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) mandate. Although wired communications devices have largely attained compliance with those rules, wireless device compliance is spotty, he said.

Cleats run really narrow
I know generally Nike shoes/cleats run narrow, but these seem extremely narrow. Liked the color and style, but too tight! Returned these and ordered the Nike Kids' Land Shark 2 Low Football Cleat -- they're awesome.
August 6, 2013
Awesome cleats
My 11 year old son loves these cleats! 2 games 2 TD's! One was 75 yards out and 20 yards away from another one on a kickoff return. The white color looks really cool instead the same old black cleats. More importantly the traction is the best he's ever had.
September 17, 2013
Great Aggressive Cleat
This Cleat is a very well constructed comfortable aggressive cleat. Our gym floors in Montana are a soft rubber like floor and these are allowed on them so no worries there. The cost and shipping from Dicks is very fast and accurate time. You cant go wrong with this choice of cleats.
September 16, 2013
Nice cleat but too tight
My son loves the cleat but its too tight. We went a full size bigger and have stretched it out for comfort. His foot is narrow but, the cleat is extra narrow which, is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
August 1, 2013
Satisfied Customer
Very satisfied with the product and extremely satisfied with how fast I received my order!
September 10, 2013
Look like a player
These cleats make our 8 y/o son look like he was born to play football. They are much better than the boring all black cleats that everyone has and you can match them with any color uniform. He is able to make cuts when he runs and hasn't slipped or got his spikes stuck in the ground.

This bar-restaurant serves the most blue collar of food: the Cornish pasty, lunch-pail fodder of British miners. Though here in Belltown, they are giving the traditional dish some updated culinary tweaks.
The menu: The premise focuses on baked crescent pasties that are traditionally stuffed with beef and potato, but here some riffs include Philly steak, curry chicken, beer aged corned beef and chicken cordon bleu. About a dozen pasty options from $11 to $14; each comes with a side of fries, salad or soup.
And because this is Belltown, there's also bar food — wings, nachos, burgers and bacon mac and cheese, along with an excellent beer list and what is the most underrated cocktail menu in the area.
What to write home about: The salmon, in a buttery pastry shell, is stuffed with generous chunks of fish poached in white wine, asparagus and basmati rice. It comes with a side of lemon-dill hollandaise that you will want to dip and dip again. A bit random, but the chicken enchiladas ($11) were a surprise hit, layered with tortillas smothered with New Mexico Hatch green chili.
What to skip: The starchy Taos Chile Verde pasty ($9), with ground beef, potato and onion, is an inferior variation of an empanada.
The setting: Twisted Pasty is expanding to add a wine retail space. You can now also buy ready-made pasties to go. It seems to be a bit of everything. The bar takes up a huge chunk of the front room, and the back dining room looks like an entirely different restaurant. There's also a modest sidewalk seating area.
Summing up: Three pasties served with a side of fries and the soup of the day (clam chowder) and a big bowl of kale salad ($9.50) totaled $48.18, enough for three. Come late (Monday-Thursday 9-10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 9-11 p.m.) and those pasties are half-off with a drink purchase, a bargain late-night snack.

Gear Review
Chris Cumpian
Stickity sweet
I got these on whiskey milita so the price made it even better of a buy, but i would of paid full price for these. When i got them last season it was my first season with my own gear so i was looking for beginner stuff that i could upgrade from there but still start out with decent products. I still haven't had any breaks or tears but i'd get them again if anything happened to them. I love the toe strap design because it doesn't cram my toes like other designs do. Light weight and durable, love it.

[Tip]: Can I use Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition to develop for SharePoint and Office 365?
January 22nd, 2015 | Author: Juan Carlos | Filed under: CloudShare, Demos & POCs, Dev / Test, SharePoint | Tags: SharePoint 2013, visual studio 2013
Well, this was the question I made myself when I was creating a new virtual machine template for CloudShare's Showcase. Basically, by default Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition doesn't come with the Visual Studio 2013 Tools for Office installed…but of course, you can install them in your SharePoint & Office 365 development environment.

About Us
Sutherland Shire Writers' Festival
is a growing community event.
From humble beginnings, we have expanded our program to incorporate workshops, book launches and publishing consultations as well as author talks and book signings.
With a strong focus on the
promotion and support of Australian writers and publishers, the festival also aims to
educate and encourage aspiring writers and illustrators.
Many of our presenters are at the top of their field, though we also love to promote newly emerging talents. The topics and genres of books and literature presented aim to reflect the diversity of writers within Australia.
This year we will be running sessions concurrently in 3 rooms, devoted to presentations
Children's writers, YA writers and Adult Writers. There also will be panel discussions at the final session.
Once again we will be incorporating a youth component to our festival. Our first two
Children's Days
were a huge success and we have another fantastic line-up for the kids this year. The quality of Australian children's literature is amongst the highest in the world and we are thrilled to be able to offer a chance for children in the Shire to learn from and be inspired by such talented authors and illustrators.

quote: Icelandic bank Kaupthing's top executives indicted over market rigging Court documents are expected to allege a conspiracy by Kaupthing chairman Sigurdur Einarsson and other executives. Icelandic banker Sigurdur "Siggi" Einarsson, who ran Kaupthing bank from offices in Mayfair until its collapse five years ago, is among nine former senior staff who have been variously charged in Reykjavik with orchestrating five large-scale market manipulation conspiracies. Further details, to be released by the courts later this week, are expected to allege a conspiracy by Kaupthing executive chairman Einarsson and other bosses at Iceland's largest bank, claiming they secretly used the bank's funds to indirectly buy Kaupthing shares in the hope of propping up its share price. Holdings in Kaupthing shares were allegedly acquired in the name of selected major clients, financed by generous loans from the bank. According to an Icelandic parliamentary report, almost 42% of Kaupthing shares were held by the bank as loan collateral at the end of September 2008, much of that without the knowledge of other stakeholders in the bank. The criminal case is the largest in a series of fraud prosecutions that have been brought to court in Iceland in recent years, and may be one of the largest alleged market manipulation conspiracies ever seen in Europe.

Let me ask you a question: do you dress the way you want to dress? I read something a little while ago that I haven't yet stopped thinking about and would like to share with you.
I read Teach Yourself Happiness by Paul Jenner a few weeks ago. I highly recommend it; the author shares incredibly practical tips on how to choose joy and expand your satisfaction in life - and, as the title suggests, to achieve happiness. For some reason, the following part of the book really struck a chord with me - and I'm paraphrasing - "Express yourself in everything that you do - in your hobbies, music choices, friends, your actions, and the clothes you wear. Only when we can be free to express who we are can we be happy."
It sounds simple enough. Yet when I looked at my own life, I found that I don't really know how to express myself; I dress conservatively, though unintentionally so, and often refrain from speaking my mind to avoid conflict (though I am getting much better at this). In art, I think, I feel the most free to be myself. I know that my mama often sees jewelry or clothing she likes but says that she can't wear it because she's too old/it wouldn't suit her/she's too shy.
I know how I'd like to dress; I know whom I admire and would like to emulate; I know what qualities I'm drawn to and what kind of person I'd most like to have as a friend. But, due to fear or expectations or something else entirely, I hide behind something that is not a true representation of who I am. How many of us dress, act, speak, or seem a certain way because we are afraid of being different, standing out, or being ridiculed? It is so, so much easier to blend into the crowd - but you won't necessarily be happier this way.
Let's change this. The solution may not be as easy as changing your entire wardrobe; I suspect that it is something much larger - something in the heart or the mind. I don't know how, but I am determined to work on this, to think about it, until I reach a new realization. Are you with me?

Despite its concern with speech and the English class system, Shaw's "Pygmalion" is a Cinderella story in which Cinderella realizes how fragile a glass slipper can be.
Shaw was fanciful enough to imagine a lower class girl being transformed into an elegant young woman, but he was too aware of human absurdity to believe that her transformation would leave her "happy ever after."
Val May's production, with a cast largely imported from London (praised be Actors Equity!), shows an equal awareness of such absurdities. May has given the actors wonderful business throughout (particularly in the tea party scene) that heightens the comedy.
Even weaknesses in the two leads cannot spoil the overall pleasure of the production. Peter O'Toole, though properly abrasive, is a rather languid Henry Higgins. But even when he looks like an aging dandy, his features are still arresting, able to project irony with the merest upturn of a lip.
Amanda Plummer is strongest as a flower girl, much less convincing or natural when she is supposed to be mature. Also, Higgins apparently did not have time to deal with speech problems like her mushy s's, which weaken the sense of transformation.
The supporting cast is marvelous, particularly Lionel Jeffries as Pickering, Dora Bryan as Mrs. Pearce and Osmund Bullock as the nitwit Freddy. John Mills is a stalwart Alfred Doolittle, Joyce Redman an admirable Mrs. Higgins.
Among the delights of the production is the natural, unamplified sound of human voices.
If you want to know what Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion" is like, just think of "My Fair Lady" without the music! Ironically, here and now, with "Pygmalion" there is a real danger of the musical tale wagging the dramatic dog.
Alan Jay Lerner adapted Shaw so faithfully but so adroitly, Frederick Loewe melodically embellished it so miraculously, that it is almost impossible now to see the play without hearing the musical as a spectral counterpoint in the background.
This is a pity, because "Pygmalion," far from a dog, is one of Shaw's best - and least preachily doctrinaire - plays, but luckily it still survives.
And it should have no difficulty in surviving as long as it can receive such lively productions as this new Val May staging, which opened at the Plymouth Theater last night, starring Amanda Plummer, Sir John Mills, Dora Bryan, Lionel Jeffries, Joyce Redman, and, making his far too belated Broadway debut, Peter O'Toole.
It is an admirably straightforward play, all about phonetics and the sad fact that, in Shaw's words: "The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it," or as Lerner more elegantly put it: "Why won't the English teach their children how to speak?"
Professor Higgins, the phoneticist, who picks up Eliza, "a squashed cabbage leaf" of a flower girl outside Covent Garden, and, for a bet, transforms her speech and manners into a lively representation of a Duchess, has elements of Pygmalion creating his Galatea. But - luckily for Shaw's public - the play is also, as he well knew, a Cinderella story.
There are only two problems facing the play's director. The first is deciding which text to use, the original 1912, or the 1938, which is an odd mixture of the older text with the filmscript Shaw did for Gabriel Pascal's movie, including some scenes never intended for the stage.
The second problem is to decide who is to be this Eliza/Cinderella's Prince Charming, the formidable Henry Higgins, or the affably weak-natured Freddy Eynsford Hill?
This production, which settles fundamentally for the filmscript (most stagings do nowadays), seems, unlike the musical, very gently to push the conclusion in the direction of Shaw's own fixed determination off-stage, that Eliza married Freddy.
The trouble is that when you have a credible Higgins and a likable Eliza, sex - however alien to Shaw's nature and even text - is almost always going to emerge; and audiences have, at least, from Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller in the film version onwards, instinctively wanted them to get together after the curtain.
Unquestionably in the present production there is a very strong sexual tension between O'Toole's Higgins and Miss Plummer's Eliza, and O'Toole's final incredulously amused cackling of: "Freddy! Freddy!" suggests that he too finds Shaw's conclusion untenable.
O'Toole looks a natural Higgins, elegantly untidy, lankily ready to drape himself around furniture, and with a fine and natural arrogance.
He starts badly - he sounds like someone imitating James Cagney imitating Charles Laughton putting down a particularly rough mutiny on the Bounty - but very soon warms charmingly to his task.
I have almost always admired O'Toole on stage - from his earliest days - but he does have the none-too-minor fault of playing to the scenery and himself rather than his fellow actors and the audience.
Higgins, as O'Toole earlier found with Hamlet at Britain's National Theater, is an admirable vehicle for such procedures, and they serve the actor here beautifully. His voice, however, did lack the singlemindedness of elocution one might reasonably expect from a phoneticist.
Miss Plummer's Eliza proved a surprise and a delight. Her accents were delicately calculated, her radiant common sense exemplary.
Other performances equally sterling came from Miss Bryan's deliciously funny, sweet, and pretty Mrs. Pearce, and Sir John Mills taking and giving terrific pleasure from that dustman/philosopher, Alfred Doolittle.
Mr. Jeffries was perhaps a shade too bumblingly conventional as Pickering - it is rather the club-bore way the role is written - and perhaps Joyce Redman proved a shade too bland as Higgins's gracious but long-suffering mother.
Still, without question, this is a sound, pleasant, and lively "Pygmalion," the best since John Dexter's production with the very different and anti-romantic Alec McCowen, and the gloss, class, and essential quality of the staging is enhanced by Douglas Heap's appropriate settings and Terence Emery's stylish costumes.
But what keeps the night buoyant is the canny wit of Shaw's play, and the sublime confidence of the acting. Together they make you forget - at least momentarily - that musical that once danced all night.
The erratic amusements offered by Broadway's new revival of ''Pygmalion'' may have only a glancing connection to Shaw's wonderful play, but it would be folly to pretend that they don't exist. Not every day do New Yorkers get to see a precise replica of a London ''all star'' mounting of a classic - the sort of package that draws busloads of international tourists and British provincials to the Haymarket.
A production like this is not to be confused with the rarefied imports from the Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theater or, at the other end of the esthetic spectrum, with Broadway's own star assemblages, such as the current ''Blithe Spirit.'' The entertainment at the Plymouth - from its crazy-quilt assortment of titled and plebian marquee names to its elaborate yet slightly tatty scenery - defines the West End midweek matinee. This is theater to sip Earl Grey tea by.
Those who attend with the proper expectations will be diverted by at least half - the first half - of the unhurried, nearly three-hour-long proceedings. Much of that enjoyment is provided by Peter O'Toole, whose display of star attitude is often commanding even when out of sync with the character of Henry Higgins. Modeling an ever-changing array of bespoke Edwardian tailoring, the tall, reedy actor rules this ''Pygmalion'' on the grounds of elegance and talent, if not always concentration. Mr. O'Toole has no qualms about making goo-goo eyes directly at the audience, if that's what it takes to keep its attention - and, given that the eyes retain the iridescent blue of ''Lawrence of Arabia,'' who will complain?
His is a funny, if odd, performance. The intelligence, arrogance and ill-mannered bullying of Wimpole Street's master phonetician are all accounted for: Mr. O'Toole relishes those moments when Higgins can bark an ''Oh, shut up!'' at his ''deliciously low'' pupil, Eliza Doolittle (Amanda Plummer). One also feels the emotional detachment of a man Shaw described as ''a confirmed bachelor with a mother fixation.'' The solitary, almost cadaverous laughter with which Mr. O'Toole brings down the final curtain is not the sentimental chuckling of a secret romantic but the braying triumph of a chilly, cynical intellect.
Such achievements co-exist with interludes in which the star seems to drift away. Mr. O'Toole has a habit of tilting a bit from side to side when standing. When he sinks in an armchair to listen to Alfred Doolittle's marital plans during the final act, the actor allows his face to register boredom as well: His glazed-over look is that of a first-class ocean-liner passenger who has grown sick of his card partners three days into a trans-Atlantic crossing. The star's vocal pyrotechnics can also be weird. If Rex Harrison famously ''talked'' the songs when playing Henry Higgins in ''My Fair Lady,'' Mr. O'Toole has a tendency to sing the talk. Some of his longer speeches rattle by at considerable speed, all the while running up and down a scale ranging from sonorous baritone to near-falsetto.
The most damaging handicap afflicting this Higgins, however, has nothing to do with Mr. O'Toole's own acting. Miss Plummer, an impassioned performer in other circumstances, proves to be every bit as miscast in this Shaw comedy as she was in ''You Never Can Tell'' earlier this season. Her Liza is unbelievable whether spunky or weepy, whether in her Cockney flower-girl guise or in her later Cinderella turn as a well-spoken, ersatz duchess. Only after the heroine achieves her last and most significant metamorphosis - by ceasing to be a ''slave'' to gentility and seizing her real independence as a woman - does some uncontrived passion seep through. ''I only want to be natural,'' says Liza then, and that's the single occasion when Miss Plummer is.
Without a credible leading lady prior to that very late point, ''Pygmalion'' inevitably must collapse during the Higgins-Liza conflicts of Shaw's fourth and fifth acts (divided between Acts II and III here). But it would be wrong to blame Miss Plummer's performance alone for the flatter stretches. Joyce Redman, whose regal maternal appearance as Mrs. Higgins is defeated by a spineless characterization, denies Mr. O'Toole another crucial foil. As Liza's father, Sir John Mills gives impeccably spoken yet completely unfunny readings of Doolittle's diatribes about ''middle-class morality.'' There's nothing Falstaffian about Sir John's dustman, and his subsequent leap to respectability proves as undynamic a transformation as the one Miss Plummer provides in dialectical contrast.
The other performances are all over the map, sometimes pleasingly so. As Higgins's housekeeper, Mrs. Pearce, the diminutive, handsome Dora Bryan reveals her roots as a sparky, longtime English music-hall artist. Lionel Jeffries's quintessential Colonel Pickering is reassuring to a fault; only the color of the tweeds draped over his geniality varies from act to act. The Eynsford Hill mother and daughter (Mary Peach and Kirstie Pooley) are much too willing to prove Higgins's contention that all women ''might as well be blocks of wood,'' while brother Freddy (Osmund Bullock) is a society twit from the rear ranks of the ''Me and My Girl'' chorus. Even so, neither they nor Miss Plummer's perfunctory comic delivery can mar the foolproof tea-party scene in which Liza first tries to pass as posh.
Aside from choreographing that farcical apex and taking liberties with Shaw's text, the director, Val May, has principally concerned himself with placating any theatergoers who would rather be at ''My Fair Lady.'' The curtain rises to trashy recorded music seemingly chosen to mimic the first bars of the musical's overture, and two scenes in succession end with the actors raising their arms in glee as if they had just sung ''The Rain in Spain.'' The intended parallels falter in the physical production. The hideous female costumes of this ''Pygmalion'' owe nothing to Cecil Beaton, and Douglas Heap's otherwise decent scenic design is marred by Mrs. Higgins's drawing room, a riot of chartreuse that puts the chintzy back into chintz. But such eccentricities, too, are part of the frayed charm of a show that is as authentically English as a Harrod's display window and, at its liveliest, somewhat more animate.
