Welcome to my blog! I'm a Sr. Software Development Engineer who has been performing C++/C#/Java development for over 20 years, but have definitely learned that there is always more to learn!

Once again, in this series of posts I look at the parts of the .NET Framework that may seem trivial, but can help improve your code by making it easier to write and maintain. The index of all my past little wonders posts can be found here.
Visual Studio 2015 is on the horizon! In fact, some of you may already have played with the preview and seen some of the many neat new things to come – both in the IDE and in the C# language.
For those who haven't been keeping up with the announcements, allow me to take some blog time for the next few Little Wonders posts to talk about some of the neat new things that will be part of C# 6.
Then, once it's available for you to consume, you can hit the ground running with an arsenal of new little ways to make your code cleaner and more maintainable.
Often times, when you want to log information to a file, console, or status label you end up having to format that information into a string. There are, of course, several ways to do this. The problem is that the more complex your formatting gets, the harder it is to understand and maintain the code.
For example, let's say we have a very simple class representing a Point:
1: public class Point
2: {
3: public int X { get; set; }
4: public int Y { get; set; }
5: }
And we have a pair of points (perhaps bounding a rectangle) that we wish to log:
1: var p1 = new Point { X = 5, Y = 10 };
2: var p2 = new Point { X = 7, Y = 3 };
We could, of course, perform string concatenation to do this:
1: Console.WriteLine("The area of interest is bounded by ("
2: + p1.X + "," + p1.Y + ") and (" + p2.X + "," + p2.Y + ")");
This works fine and performs relatively well (multiple string concatenations in the same statement are generally optimized with a behind-the-scenes StringBuilder). However, the problem is that the more things we concatenate together, the harder it is to understand the original intention of the output statement because it is broken up by multiple opening and closing quotes and the concatenation operator (+).
To some extent, we can make this a bit better by using String.Format() and other methods (such as Console.WriteLine) that accept a format, for example:
1: Console.WriteLine("The area of interest is bounded by({0},{1}) and ({2},{3})",
2: p1.X, p1.Y, p2.X, p2.Y);
This solves the problem of breaking up the formatting with quotation marks and the concatenation operator, however, it also creates new problems.
First of all, you have to maintain the position of the placeholders and the order of the arguments. Thus, if you need to add a new item earlier in the string, you'd either have to bump up all the other indexes or add the new item at the end and have your placeholders out of order:
// inserting before means bumping the index of each other placeholder up
Console.WriteLine("The area of interest for {0} is bounded by({1},{2}) and ({3},{4})",
"My Rectangle", p1.X, p1.Y, p2.X, p2.Y);
// putting it at the end means your arguments are not in their actual display order
Console.WriteLine("The area of interest for {4} is bounded by({0},{1}) and ({2},{3})",
p1.X, p1.Y, p2.X, p2.Y, "My Rectangle");
Neither of these are fully desirable since you now have to make sure any change you make to the string or arguments keeps the two in sync. And this can be especially bad if you have a placeholder for an argument index that no longer exists:
1: // Oops, Removed the argument, but forgot the placeholder
2: Console.WriteLine("The area of interest for {4} is bounded by({0},{1}) and ({2},{3})",
3: p1.X, p1.Y, p2.X, p2.Y);
It isn't a compiler error, but a runtime error, which may pop up when you least expect it, especially if it's not on a well travelled code branch:
1: Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.
2: at System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormatHelper(IFormatProvider provider, String format, ParamsArray args)
3: at System.String.FormatHelper(IFormatProvider provider, String format, ParamsArray args)
4: at System.String.Format(IFormatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args)
5: at System.IO.TextWriter.WriteLine(String format, Object[] arg)
6: at System.IO.TextWriter.SyncTextWriter.WriteLine(String format, Object[] arg)
7: at System.Console.WriteLine(String format, Object[] arg)
8: at VNextScratchpad.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\source\VNextScratchpad\Program.cs:line 31
There has to be a happy medium between the two. On one hand, concatenation is nice because it has everything right in its actual place in the string, but the syntax is cumbersome as the string gets longer. On the other hand, formatting is nice because it makes the string very clean but then it separates the placeholders from the arguments.
Well, that is what string interpolation sets out to fix in C# 6. This is a concept that languages like Perl have had for quite a while, and now we'll get this ability in C# as well.
What this means is that you will be able to embed expressions in the actual string you are trying to build by enclosing them with "\{" and "}".
For example, the line of output from before now looks like:
1: // notice how the expressions are now embedded in the string itself
2: Console.WriteLine("The area of interest is bounded by (\{p1.X},\{p1.Y}) and (\{p2.X},\{p2.Y})");
It looks a lot like the String.Format() placeholders, but instead of an index, it is prefaced by an escape backslash and the expression is inside the curly braces. In fact, it shouldn't be a surprise that it looks like String.Format() because that's really all it is – syntactical sugar that the compiler treats like String.Format() behind the scenes.
A great part is, the compiler now maintains the placeholders for you so you don't have to worry about indexing the right argument because you simply place it right there in the string.
Because interpolation is really compile-time magic and syntactical sugar for String.Format(), you can use alignment and format arguments (See the MSDN on Composite Formatting) in the placeholder as well.
Consider the syntax for a format element placeholder:
The only difference with interpolation is that we will replace the index with the expression.
For example, consider the code on the MSDN Composite Formatting page:
for (int ctr = 0; ctr < names.Length; ctr++)
Console.WriteLine("{0,-20} {1,5:N1}", names[ctr], hours[ctr]);
We can change this to take advantage of interpolation and make it:
Console.WriteLine("\{names[ctr],-20} \{hours[ctr],5:N1}");
This means that names[ctr]'s value will be left justified and padded to 20 spaces, and hours[ctr]'s value will take 5 spaces and be formatted as a number 1 digit behind the decimal point.
This feature is currently available in the preview for VisualStudio 2015 and C# 6, though it's possible they may simplify the syntax in the final release – there's talk of using a $ prefix on the string to specify an interpolated string, much like the current @ prefix to specify a verbatim string.
String interpolation is yet another tool that will be coming out in C# 6 that will allow you to make code easier to maintain. By embedding the values directly in the string to print, there is less confusion as to what values go with what placeholder – but you still maintain the ability to specify formatting as well.
Stay tuned for more Little Wonders of C# 6!

I like to keep my brain sharp by working on programming puzzlers. On off weeks I'm going to start posting programming puzzlers I've collected over the years. Hopefully you'll find them as entertaining as I do.
Given a standard definition of a binary tree node, i.e.:
1: public class Node<T>
3: T Data { get; set; }
4: Node<T> Left { get; set; }
5: Node<T> Right { get; set; }
6: }
And a reference to the root of the tree:
1: Node<T> root = ....;
Write a method that will determine if the tree has the ordered property. A binary tree has the ordered property such that for any node x, the left sub-tree of x is < x and the right sub-tree of x is > x for all nodes.
That is, the following tree has the ordered property:
/ \
3 7
/ \ /
2 4 6
But this tree does not:
3 8
2 6 7
Because even though 6 is on the right of 3 and is > 3, it is on the left sub-tree of 5 so it must be < 5.
Fair Warning: discussion of the problem and potential solutions may be discussed in the comments below.

Remember than in C#, auto-properties are a way to create the boilerplate code for a basic, field-backed property in C#.
For instance, if you wanted to create a Point class with members X, and Y you used to have to define that with code like this:
3: private int x;
4: private int y;
6: public int X
7: {
8: get { return x; }
9: set { x = value; }
10: }
12: public int Y
13: {
14: get { return y; }
15: set { y = value; }
16: }
17: }
The developers on the C# team realized that this was really just standard boiler-plate for accessors and mutators. You were simply defining a backing field with the get returning the field and the set assigning the field, so they allowed a syntactical shortcut called auto-properties:
5: public int Y { get; set; }
Essentially, these two classes are nearly identical behind the scenes. Both still have the backing fields, but in the second example the compiler is the one creating the backing field and naming it and hiding all that boilerplate code for you. You are simply saying in the { get; set; } that you wish for it to generate a getter and a setter.
Similarly, if you want the setter to be private (like in an immutable class) you can modify the access for either the set to make it different:
1: // Make Point immutable by passing value in constructor and setting privately
2: public class Point
3: {
4: // setters now private
5: public int X { get; private set; }
7: public int Y { get; private set; }
9: public Point(int x, int y)
10: {
11: X = x;
12: Y = y;
13: }
14: }
This is all well and good, but there has been for quite some time a disparity between VB.NET and C#.NET around auto-properties. Namely, VB.NET allowed you to assign a non-default initialization value to an auto-property, but C# did not.
For example, let's say you are creating a resource pool and you want an auto-property for the pool size, but you want it to default to 10, not 0. You used to have to do this by setting the value in the constructor, (or by abandoning the auto-property and creating a field):
1: public class ResourcePool
3: // couldn't initialize an auto-property before
4: int PoolSize { get; set; }
6: // would have to set in constructor if you wanted a different value on construction
7: public ResourcePool()
8: {
9: PoolSize = 10;
12: // ...
13: }
With VB.NET, they've had the ability to initialize an auto-property for a while now. But finally, with C# 6.0, we get that feature as well.
This means the code above could now look like this:
3: // can now set an initialization value, no longer have to set in constructor
4: int PoolSize { get; set; } = 10;
6: // ...
7: }
Notice that now, you can assign an initialization value to the property right after the closing brace. Simple and intuitive!
This also means that you can create immutable properties without needing a setter, for instance if we wanted to add a MaxPoolSize that would be exposed as a property (instead of an exposed const field):
3: // true read-only property, has no setter
4: public static int MaxPoolSize { get; } = 50;
Notice that there is no setter at all (not even private). Thus once this field is created it keeps its initial value permanently.
C# 6.0 is going to add several Little Wonders that can help make your code cleaner and easier to maintain. Stay tuned next time (in between my puzzlers) for more up-and-coming C# 6.0 goodness!

This is the way I would go about this problem if I were asked to perform it at an evaluation. However, keep in mind there are multiple ways to solve this, so don't worry if your solution has variations.
When solving these sorts of problems, the first thing you should do before writing any code is test your assumptions and clarify requirements. Often times tech companies use these sort of questions to see if you just dive into coding with no set design, or if you really think out the edge cases.
First thing I would do would be to question the makeup of the sequence of characters. The example shows only letters, but it's possible the example given was just being simplistic so I shouldn't assume that. If the person asking the problem would reply that yes, indeed, it is only letters (assuming English), I would then ask if they would conflate uppercase and lower case letters or if they'd consider them separate. Once I know my full problem space, I can pick the best data structure for the task.
I would definitely not try to read the entire stream into a list, as this could get very memory intensive if the stream is extremely long (since it's unbounded). Thus, I should look for ways to solve the problem as I go in one linear pass.
So, for each character, I want to be able to note, in effect, two things:
So, we could either design a small POCO to hold the position and whether it was found, or we could use the same indicator for both. After all, we only care about position if we don't find a duplicate.
If I were just dealing with uppercase letters, I would build an array of int and initialize all elements to -1. Or if I were dealing with a larger data set, I'd use a Dictionary<char,int>. Then, for each char pass, I'd look it up in the array/table. If the char doesn't exist in the table, or if it's -1 in the array, I'd note the position as the current position.
If the char does exist in the table or in the array, I'd set it to another value such as int.MaxValue. Then, once I've read all the characters, I'd find the minimum position in the table where pos >= 0 (linear pass) and print the pos and the char as long as pos != int.MaxValue.
Let's assume that the examiner asked for only the uppercase alphabet, but you can imagine how to modify this example for different input variations.
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
// Base interface for char stream
public interface ICharStream
bool HasNext { get; }
char GetNext();
// Test implementation of char stream
public class RandomCharStream : ICharStream
private readonly int maxSize;
private readonly Random generator = new Random();
private int generatedCount;
// Creates a random stream of characters
public RandomCharStream(int maxSize)
this.maxSize = maxSize;
this.generatedCount = 0;
// Returns true if still characters to generate
public bool HasNext
get { return generatedCount < maxSize; }
// Generates a random character
public char GetNext()
return (char)('A' + generator.Next(0, 26));
// Solution for problem 1
public class Problem1
public static void Main()
var charMap = Enumerable.Repeat(-1, 26).ToArray();
var stream = new RandomCharStream(20);
int pos = 0;
while (stream.HasNext)
var ch = stream.GetNext();
var index = ch - 'A';
Console.Write(ch + " ");
if (charMap[index] != int.MaxValue)
charMap[index] = charMap[index] == -1 ? pos : int.MaxValue;
int firstNonRepeatedPos = charMap.Where(i => i >= 0).Min();
if (firstNonRepeatedPos != int.MaxValue)
Console.WriteLine("The first non - repeated char was at position: " + firstNonRepeatedPos);
else {
Console.WriteLine("All characters were repeated at least once.");

Given an unbounded sequence of characters, find the value and position of the first non-repeated character.
e.g., in the stream: A,B,C,D,C,B,A,F,A,F the first non-repeated character is D.
For the purposes of this exercise, consider the following interface as the source of the stream:
2: public interface ICharStream
4: bool HasNext { get; }
5: char GetNext();

The room being dirty and filled with hair balls.
Great, breakfast with attendent keeping things very clean.
Stain on room carpet covered with sofa chair.
The staff was veery friendly and helpful.
Big Bright Clean rooms. Nice building , good location for me
No enough parking for all the guest so had to park in the area in front.
Nothing. it was sad. The best is the housekeeping people who greet us very well.
The Wi-Fi never work for the entire five days. Two pillows were dirty for a king size bed. There was an alive spider under neat the bed covers. We needed to ask for hangers, pillows, the iron and ironing board. The breakfast was very poor.
The room and bathroom were clean. Housekeeping came in daily and made sure everything was fresh. The staff was nice and easy to work with. For the star rating that this hotel is listed as, it was a great place to stay compared to other in the area.
This is an old hotel that the owner is trying to work on. So it feels ran down and well used. But, It also feels like they are doing their best to work with what they have.
1. For my purposes, the location and ease of access to the International Border and the companies I visit in Matomoros, MX. 2. The staff has always been a pleasure to interact with and thier genuine family atmosphere.
Nothing worth writing about.
It was close to South Padre.
Continental breakfast was weak.
About 20 minutes from south padre island, leave early cause they're is some traffic.
Left some empty better bottles and didn't get cleaned up .
The beds were way to hard.. not enough towels for 4 people.. the employee were very nice though..
Clean and easy access to Valey destinations
the beds were very hard
Its in a good location.
They lie. There was no breakfast, there was no wi-fy. These things were advertised on their web page and these were the hinge points that swung me their way.
The staff was friendly especially the person who checked us in.
Looked clean new and fresh
Bed was not up to standards. I've stayed at other Marriott courtyards and bed was better withwhat I think ewer Memory foam beds.
The hotel staff was very friendly.
I had to go to the hotel lobby for coffee.
The hotel staff was very friendly, the room was very clean, and most of all, it was close to our destination.
The continental breakfast that was advertised, was non-existent.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an

Color for back door
I could use some suggestions and inspiration on colors to paint the backdoor of my house. Our house is a light yellow with brown shutters and a brownish-red roof. The front porch is screened in so you can't really see the front door. The front screen door is white and the front door is white. We'll be getting new doors soon that allow for more visibility and I am planning on painting the front door red.
The back door is not visible from the street. We primarily use this door though the front door is used for guests. I'm not sure I want this door to be red as well. Should we just keep it white or perhaps a different color? I'm afraid the white will just get dirty again quickly so another color would be better.
I look forward to your suggestions.

Interesting online squash growing publication

"Squashes, How to Grow Them" by James J.H. Gregory
Written around 1870. Sometimes the style of English takes some effort to understand. Quite interesting account of first hand knowledge and observation of squash habits.

A great little read. The "Saving Seed" section cleared up my confusion about the Crown I opened up a few days ago. It wasn't ready in terms of seed ripeness. The author's description of the placental tissue and the condition of the seeds themselves was spot-on. Thanks for posting this!

Cowan alone at top
Girls Open Flight crowded after 1st round
BURKBURNETT — There weren't a lot of red numbers Monday at River Creek — just two — and one of them wasn't even in the Girls Open Championship Flight.
There was plenty of rain, however, as 1.2 inches of the wet stuff fell in a predawn storm that delayed the start of the 57th Texas-Oklahoma Junior Golf Tournament by 2 ½ hours.
Ali Cowan of Victoria shot a 1-under par 70 at River Creek to take a one-shot lead after the opening round.
It's a tight field behind Cowan, who finished third last year as four golfers are one-shot back at 71; two more are tied at 72; and three others are three back at 73.
In all, 34 other golfers are within 10 shots of the lead as there wasn't much separation.
"It was a good starting round," Cowan said. "I had a shaky start and then I didn't finish the last few holes the way I should have."
Cowan had birdies on the par-5 Nos. 4 and 14, the par-3 No. 8 and the par-4 Nos. 9 and 12.
She bogeyed Nos. 2, 5, 15 and 17 — all par-4s except the par-3 No. 2.
Cowan and the rest of the field will play this afternoon at Wichita Falls Country Club with tee times beginning at noon.
"I should have done better," Cowan said. "But there's plenty of room for improvement over the next few days."
One person who is happy for that is Burkburnett product Sarah Moore.
The Class 3A state champion shot a 2-over 73 and is part of a group of three behind Cowan in eighth place.
Although she had several birdie attempts throughout her round, only two of them dropped in, coming on Nos. 4 and 15.
And even the one on No. 15 almost bounced back out.
She wasn't pleased that immediately after the birdie on No. 15 she bogeyed the next two holes.
"That made me so mad," Moore said. "I tried not to let it bother me the rest of the way and I was able to par 18. But I should have shot lower.
"I definitely left a lot of putts out there. If I had putted like I usually do, I would have shot a lot lower. There's nothing I can do about it now except go back to work and try it again tomorrow."
Of course, it was even more distressing to Moore not to shoot a real low number in what is basically her home course.
"I know there will be a lot of low scores today and I didn't shoot as low as I would have liked. But I still have three more days to make it up."
Sierra Campbell of Rio Rancho, N.M., who has signed with Midwestern State, Kailey Campbell of Oktaha, Okla., Kailey Collier of Broken Arrow, Okla. and Alexis Sadeeghy of Edmond, Okla. are all tied for second at 71.
Kyle Corey of Clifton and Esther Cha of Carrollton are tied at 1-over 72,
Low Round: The low round of the day belonged to 15-year-old Camille Enright of Plano, who shot a 2-under 69 playing from the same tees at River Creek.
She had four birdies in the round — Nos. 1, 7, 14 and 15, but had bogeys on No. 4 and No. 9.
She has a four-stroke lead over her nearest competitor, Kaitlin Milligan of Norman, Okla.

Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: TYPE), a leading provider of typefaces, technology and expertise for creative applications and consumer devices, has announced the commercial launch of its Typecast™ application, a browser-based tool for designing Web pages with Web fonts.
The Typecast application launches commercially after a year and a half in private and public beta programs, bringing the design community a tool that helps to save time and create better quality Web typography.
"Good typography is transforming the Web, and the engine behind that is Web fonts," said Chris Roberts, vice president and general manager of Monotype's e-commerce group. "With Typecast, designers now have a simple yet powerful design tool that opens up a whole new level of productivity and creative expression. We're very excited that it's now part of our complete Web font offering."
"The Typecast application simply takes the pain out of working with Web fonts," said Paul McKeever, director of Typecast. "We've simplified workflow to bring joy to Web design and allow designers to spend more time on creative experimentation. They can iterate as quickly as they ideate and more easily create accessible, readable content for any sized screen on any device."
Web designers are able to combine, compare and style Web fonts quickly without performing screen captures in third-party applications or through hand coding. Users can visually style text directly within the browser, which offers more scope for creative experimentation, better typographic control and a simplified workflow. As designers work, Typecast software generates production-ready HTML and CSS code behind the scenes. When designers are ready to start building their sites, they can export that HTML and CSS, plus generate embedded code that will serve their project's typefaces to their site.
Designers can set styles such as font size, line spacing and coloring, and also apply OpenType® features such as ligatures, small caps, fractions, lining and old style figures, and swash characters. Designers are able to try fonts on real, full-length project content, not just short snippets. Using side-by-side comparison and testing, designers can see at a glance what's working and what's not. Styles can be adjusted across entire projects with just a few clicks.
The Typecast application is available at four subscription levels, each with monthly, yearly and tri-yearly billing options. Prices start at $29 per month for an individual plan, and all plans include a free standard subscription to Fonts.com Web Fonts worth $10 per month, enabling Typecast subscribers to use more than 20,000 Web fonts on their live sites. The Typecast application is available as a free trial for 14 days.
The Typecast application allows designers to experiment with fonts from Typekit®, Fontdeck®, Webtype® and Google® Web Fonts as well as Monotype's Fonts.com Web Fonts, which features thousands of typefaces, including timeless classics such as the Trade Gothic®, Avenir® and ITC Avant Garde Gothic® families, as well as cutting-edge designs and hand-tuned fonts.
Further information about the Typecast application, including a video that details the product, is available at http://typecast.com, where visitors can also view customer videos from Happy Cog, one of the world's most respected design agencies, and international publishing company Condé Nast, which used Typecast to redesign vogue.co.uk.
A public beta program for Typecast began one week prior to Monotype's Oct. 30, 2012 acquisition of Design by Front Limited, the company behind the Typecast application. The product continues to be developed from Belfast, Northern Ireland, where Monotype now holds an office.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Would You Drink A "Trooper"?

I've always had a passion for Beer!
Light, Dark, Pale, Wheat, you get the picture. So when Rock-stars come out with a Beer, I listen!
Oh yea, and no new pope yet!
Taco Bell has been an integral block of my food pyramid for almost two decades. Here is where things get a little odd though -- rarely do I stray from the regular. In the beginning the order was always the same -- three Soft Taco Supremes and three regular crunchy tacos -- with an occasional Grilled Stuft Burrito with beef. Boring but always delivered.
For years, you've cried out in the darkness, "Why, oh why can't I get a burger made with seven patties and seven slices of cheese at three in the morning?!" Well, Steak 'n Shake has heard your pleas, America, and they're here to help.
Do you have to share a work spot with someone?
Since the Belgians took over Anheuser-Busch four years ago, the brewer has been searching for new ways to cut costs while their mad scientists relentlessly work to develop new product lines -- including Bud Light Platinum and Bud Light Lime -- in an attempt to attract the more discriminating beer connoisseur.
Super Bowl is a time we spend with friends and family.
One of the most important parts is the Food! Ok and the Game.
We're spicing things up with a Red Hot giveaway! How would you like to win a 32" flat screen TV with built-in DVD player? That's right. It's about to get hot in here!
So, the Internet says there is going to be a severe shortage of Buffalo Wings for the Superbowl. Now, I've learned never to doubt the Internet, but it took a helpful listener to explain why there was a shortage....
But, that didn't answer my other vexing concern. Are Buffalo Wings made from the tiny little wings and drumsticks of innocent little baby chickens? It took another helpful listener, this one via e-mail, to explain to me that I'm retarded...
If you are throwing a Super Bowl party, you should show off by making this 60 pound taco.
It is sad to say that I am guilty for giving our lab any left overs on my plate that I don't finish.

Keira Knightley's Best Looks Ever
1. In Giambattista Valli Couture, 2015The now 30-year-old mama-to-be chose to dress her baby bump in a delicate Giambattista Valli Couture number for the 2015 BAFTA Film Awards.
2. In Delpozo, 2015The Imitation Game actress showed off her chic maternity style in an embellished Delpozo gown with a Peter Pan collar for the 2015 Critics' Choice Movie Awards. A simple updo and a rosy lip was all this looked needed.
3. In Erdem, 2015Knightley opted for a purple Erdem gown for the 2015 SAG Awards! This multilayered dress, with cutouts and a peplum that offered ample baby-bump camouflage, brought a lot of life to the most regal of red carpet colors.
4. In Chanel, 2015Knightley worked a pretty white floral lace top and a shattered graphic-print ankle-grazing skirt, both by Chanel, to the 26th Annual Producers Guild Of America Awards. Simple black Jimmy Choo pumps completed the eye-grabbing look.
5. In Chanel Haute Couture, 2012Forty embroidered Camelias embellish this exquisite organza Chanel Haute Couture gown. Knightley, who has been the face of the Coco Mademoiselle fragrance since 2007, played the role of Chanel in a short film directed by Karl Lagerfeld. "I'm proud to work with such an iconic fashion house," the actress said.
6. In Roksanda Ilincic, 2011Here's proof that when she does go minimal, it's far from plain. The sexy crisscross bodice on this Roksanda Ilincic dress is balanced by a tea-length hem and ankle- strap heels by Salvatore Feragamo.
7. In Elie Saab Haute Couture, 2011It took a month and a half to hand-make the shimmering Elie Saab Haute Couture cocktail dress she wears here, at the Toronto première of 'A Dangerous Method.' A floral brooch at her waist cinches the light layers.
8. In Valentino Haute Couture, 2013At a ball in Venice, a glimpse of black lingerie peeking through a Valentino Haute Couture gown shows off Keira's curves under elaborate leaf detailing. On her arm that night? Klaxons keyboardist (and new husband) James Righton, who also wore Valentino.
9. In Mary Katrantzou, 2013"The classic fit- and-flare shape is elegant on Keira, while the cool hues complement her complexion," says Mary Katrantzou of her silk dress with its print of a field of blossoming trees.
10. In Erdem, 2012At the L.A. première of 'Anna Karenina,' the leading lady arrived in a mint silk Erdem gown with touches of snake-skin and lace. ?I?ve got to go all out tonight because the Jacqueline Durran costumes in the film are extraordinary,? she noted.
11. In Valentino, 2012A hand-embroidered silk Valentino dress is gorgeous and "comfy," according to Knightley. "Putting on a flowery dress can brighten up the world," she has said.
12. In Richard Nicoll, 2012Knightley has mastered the art of the quick change, slipping into this shiny brocade dress by Richard Nicoll for a party after wearing an Erdem gown (see No. 6)."The flirtatious waistline and modern length are perfect for her feminine style," says the designer.
13. In Miu Miu, 2010Knightley looks pretty and prim at a luncheon, sporting a patterned Miu Miu ensemble with an accent collar and black platforms, also from the label. Turns out she is just as polished when she's away from the lens. "I don't really own sweat pants," she has said.
14. In Burberry Prorsum, 2012The London-born beauty often dons U.K. labels, selecting pieces that range from high street (Topshop is a fave) to high-end, like this fitted lace dress from Burberry Prorsum.

Hometown Heroes: Sept. 22
Mark Miller admits that about the only thing lacking in his soccer game is a mean streak.
"It's just not my personality to yell at people and tell them what to do," said the soft-spoken Miller, who stars as Mary Hardin-Baylor's goalkeeper. "I'm kind of a quiet guy, and I guess that just carries over to the field."
"That's the one thing we're working on with him," UMHB coach Brad Bankhead said. "He doesn't yell or scream, which is something you sometimes want your goalkeeper to do."
The in-your-face, vocal leadership is just about all that Miller lacks in his game, according to Bankhead. Miller, who started playing goalkeeper as a freshman at Rider, has convinced Bankhead that he has all the physical tools to be one of the best at his position in the American Southwest Conference.
"Mark is just a natural athlete," Bankhead said. "He's a tall kid and moves and jumps well. He does a real good job of punching balls out or gathering them in."
Miller, a 6-1, 170-pound junior, has allowed five goals in the Crusaders' first five matches. He and his UMHB teammates started the 2009 season with 2-1 victory over Trinity, which was ranked No. 5 in Division III. The Crusaders were outshot 25-7, but Miller's five saves helped lead UMHB to the upset victory.
"That was a big win for us and a great way to start the season," said Miller, who is majoring in Christian studies.
The Crusaders (4-1) opened ASC play Friday with a 3-1 win over Texas Lutheran. On Saturday, Miller recorded his first shutout of the season and third of his career in a 1-0 double-overtime conference victory over Schreiner.
The Crusaders, who were 5-7-3 last season, were picked to finish eighth in the ASC by league coaches. But Miller, who has 24 saves, feels UMHB might be the league's surprise team.
"Last year, we underachieved," Miller said. "I think this year we'll catch everybody off-guard. We have a chance to do a lot more than what people expect."

Carl has become his own kind of badass. AMC [podcast]http://extras.mysanantonio.com/audio/2012_walkingdead_1203.mp3[/podcast] What a midseason finale! Tyrese finally decided to show up. Carl's badass level continues to rise exponentially. Michonne and the Governor have their first big fight at Penny's expense. Andrea continues to display her poor taste in judgment. Carol is not a lesbian. And what […] [Read More]
'Walking Dead' podcast: 'When the Dead Come Knocking'
This week's "The Walking Dead" inched us ever closer to the inevitable clash between Rick's grimy prison gang and the Governor's sunny small-town community. And, still, "When the Dead Come Knocking" gave us plenty to talk about, what with a bad-ass captive Glenn, an underplayed but brilliant father-son chat and one of the more hilariously-timed […] [Read More]
Once Upon a Time: "You will always find me. And I will always find you."
Is Hook a double agent or a triple agent? Or is he working for an agency of one (himself)? He's a pirate, so I think he's for whichever side best meets his own needs. He flipped so many times during the episode I lost track, and I'm still not really sure if he truly is with Cora […] [Read More]
'Walking Dead' podcast: 'Hounded'
[podcast]http://extras.mysanantonio.com/audio/2012_walkingdead_1119.mp3[/podcast] This week's episode of "The Walking Dead" delivered perhaps the unkindest cut of all: a noticeable cut in quality. Sure, we've come a long way since the dull ol' farm. But "Hounded" lacked the take-no-walkers drama we've come to expect this season. So what did we make out of Andrea's floozy flip-flop, Rick's demented […] [Read More]
'Walking Dead' episode: 'Say the Word'
Photo by Gene Page/AMC [podcast]http://extras.mysanantonio.com/audio/2012_walkingdead_1113.mp3[/podcast] We needed a relief after last week's emotionally draining episode. But was it? We were subject to some disturbing imagery in the Governor brushing his zombie daughter's brittle hair and Rick's dispatching of the bloated walker after getting his money's worth at the Lori buffet. Where is Michonne off to? […] [Read More]
Once Upon a Time: "It was the wolf. It was me!"
This episode is about believing in yourself, no matter who (or what) you are, and the importance of the support of friends who want you to be the best you can be, but still care about you when you aren't. Our true friends support us even when we are monsters: literally and figuratively. Belle and Snow […] [Read More]

This Quebecois treat is not exactly fudge, it's kind of more grainy and fragile than fudge, but it's definitely all kinds of delicious. If any of you have been to Cora's before, the complimentary fudge they give you at the cash is sucre à la crème. I had this for the first time when I was in first year. Chris' roommate, Vince is francophone and he taught me a bunch of different types of Quebecois food. Among delicious confections like brown sugar croissants and pancakes, one confection was sucre à la crème and boy oh boy, let's just say sugar and creme are the culprits of my freshman 15.

Google's Street View mapping has now given supercar enthusiasts another reason to slack off at work, by documenting the tiny little Pagani workshop in Modena.
Vijay Pattni04 April 2014
Take a walk around Pagani's workshop
Poke around Italian engines and sit in a Huayra with the miracle of Google Street View
And we do mean tiny; consider that Pagani has only really got two actual models in its history and line-up, and it makes sense. But still, we can't imagine the photography took too much time.
Whatever, it's still a lovely way to waste a few minutes. In the same vein as Google mapped the Lamborghini museum in Sant'Agata, users can tour the workshop floor and virtually 'sit' inside the cars (a POV view allowing you to scroll around the simply extraordinary attention to interior detail lavished by Horacio and his engineers).
There are a pair of AMG engines up front, a Zonda Cinque Roadster on the drive, a Huayra inside, a framed poster of awards and records on the wall, and some art.
It won't take long but it's well worth a look. As is Google's mapping of the Lamborghini museum. And the time Top Gear first drove the ballistic Huayra, the time we did 220mph in a Huayra prototype, Top Gear's big Pagani road trip through Italy, or indeed Clarkson's drive in the extreme Zonda R. We've also got a History of Zonda, if all that isn't enough time-wasting...

Obama wades back into the health care debate
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is launching a new effort to rally the public around his hotly disputed health care law, a strategy aimed at shoring up key components of the sweeping federal overhaul and staving off yet another challenge from Republicans.
The president will specifically target women and young people, groups that backed him overwhelmingly during his presidential campaigns. During a Mother's Day-themed event at the White House on Friday, Obama will promote the benefits of the law for women, including free cancer screenings and contraceptives, and ask moms to urge their uninsured adult children to sign up for the health insurance "exchanges" that open this fall.
The exchanges are the centerpiece of the landmark overhaul of the nation's health insurance system. Three years after it became law, the measure widely known as "Obamacare" remains controversial, with GOP lawmakers resolving anew to overturn it and many Americans unsure how they'll be affected.
White House advisers acknowledge they struggled in explaining the complex law to the public when it passed in 2010. Now, with the final components being implemented, Obama allies see a fresh opportunity to sell the American people on the merits of measures that will be central to the president's legacy.
"We're in the phase for the actual meat of the law to come online," said Neera Tanden of the Center for American Progress, a liberal group aligned with the White House. "It's important for the public to recognize that the law has tangible benefits to people so they feel comfortable enrolling."
Beginning Oct. 1, consumers can enroll in coverage through health insurance marketplaces called "exchanges" established by the states or the federal government. Coverage under the private plans begins Jan. 1, and nearly 30 million uninsured Americans are eventually expected to take part.
But in order to keep insurance premiums down, young, healthy people will have to join up in order to counteract the costs from seniors and others with health problems.
The uncertainty surrounding the exchanges has many Democrats nervous, including retiring Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., one of the architects of the overhaul. He said last month that the health care law is heading for a "train wreck" because of a bumbling implementation.
The president conceded last week that there would be "glitches and bumps" as the final phases of the health care law - formally the Affordable Health Care Act - are rolled out. But he said most people will be unaffected by the changes that are still to come.
"For the 85 to 90 percent of Americans who already have health insurance, this thing has already happened," Obama said. "Their only impact is that their insurance is stronger, better, more secure than it was before. Full stop. That's it. They don't have to worry about anything else."
Many Republicans strongly disagree, saying the full impact of the law will ripple throughout the economy. House Republicans announced this week that they planned to hold a vote on repealing the overhaul - the 37th time the House has voted to repeal all of part of the law. The Democratic-controlled Senate has ignored those votes each time.

I've seen a few articles over the past few years detailing the best ambient albums, the state of ambient or the return of ambient, and whilst they're often very positive for the genre, the artists and every other person involved in making this type of music, I can't help but feel a bit empty after reading … Continue reading
Hiroshi Watanabe has been releasing records since 1996, with styles ranging from deep house to his more recognized ambient/electronica works on Kompakt under the guise of Kaito.

If you're familiar with 2013's 'Until The End of Time', you may have been witness to the undercurrent of colour in Hiroshi Watanabe's music, but by no means would you have been thinking about stripping it back.
