The Islands of Chaldeaby Diana Wynne Jones
Staff Pick
One generally fears for posthumously completed versions of an author's unfinished work, but fans should rest easy knowing that The Islands of Chaldea is a sweet middle-grade adventure that sparkles with trademark Diana Wynne Jonesian wit (not to mention vivid characters, cantankerously loveable magical beasts, and slippery magic).
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Islands of Chaldea is a new novel of magic and adventure by the renowned fantasy author Diana Wynne Jones, who left behind many acclaimed and beloved books upon her death in 2011, including the internationally bestselling Howl's Moving Castle and the Chrestomanci books. The Islands of Chaldea was completed by Diana Wynne Jones's sister Ursula Jones, an acclaimed novelist and actress.
Aileen comes from a long line of magic makers, and her Aunt Beck is the most powerful magician on Skarr. But even though she is old enough, Aileen's magic has yet to reveal itself. When Aileen is sent over the sea on a mission for the King, she worries that she'll be useless and in the way. A powerful (but mostly invisible) cat changes all of that — and with every obstacle Aileen faces, she becomes stronger and more confident and her magic blooms. This stand-alone novel is a perfect introduction to the novels of the beloved Diana Wynne Jones.
"Set in a luminous and beguiling magical land, this standalone novel was begun by acclaimed fantasist Wynne Jones before her death in 2011 and has been seamlessly completed by her sister Ursula, an actress and writer. Just a day after Eileen seems to fail her initiation into her family's magical tradition, she and her Aunt Beck — a fully-fledged Wise Woman — are sent on a quest to breach the mysterious barrier that separates the islands of Skarr, Bernica, and Gallis from the enemy land of Logra. Accompanying Eileen and Beck are Ivar — the haughty prince whom Aileen plans to marry ('Until then I feel free to admire him greatly in secret') — and Ogo, an awkward Logran boy. More companions join the travelers, including a sometimes-invisible giant cat that Aileen nicknames Plug-Ugly. As Aileen grows into her own powers, she reunites with long-lost family and reassesses her romantic plans. Though the plot twists are slightly less fiendish than in previous works, Wynne Jones's humor, compassion, and invention continue to delight throughout this exhilarating tale. A story to cherish. Ages 8 12. (Apr.) " Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"The best children's writer of the last 40 years." Neil Gaiman, author of Coraline
"Readers are treated to a nonstop plot, memorable characters, and signature DWJ touches.…For younger readers, a worthy introduction to the delights of the late, lamented master fantasist." The Horn Book
How are you supposed to turn into a Wise Woman if your powers don't show up?
Aileen comes from a long line of magicworkers. And her own gifts should have been even greater. But she failed her initiation so completely that she doubts she'll ever become as magical as her aunt Beck, the most powerful magicworker in Skarr.
So when the High King sends Aileen and Aunt Beck on a secret — and suspicious — quest across all the Islands of Chaldea, Aileen worries she'll only be in the way.
Hmmm, as Aunt Beck would say. What blather.
The quest is not at all what it seems, and Aileen must puzzle out her own way after Aunt Beck angers another formidable sorceress. With the help of a (mostly) invisible cat, a (surprisingly) wise parrot, and a ragtag band of allies, Aileen will see her magic bloom. And while she's at it, she might even rescue her missing father and save a lost prince.

PG&E Urges Customers To Keep Metallic Balloons Secure For Valentine's Day Celebrations
Metallic Balloons That Contact Electric Lines Can Cause Power Outages and Injuries
PR Newswire
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13, 2013
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With Valentine's Day festivities taking place this week, many customers will celebrate with helium-filled metallic balloons. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) urges customers to think safety first and securely tie a weight to all metallic balloons containing helium to prevent them from floating away. Metallic balloons that contact overhead power lines can disrupt electric service to an entire neighborhood, cause significant property damage and potentially result in serious personal injuries.
Last year, metallic balloons that drifted into PG&E power lines caused nearly 290 outages, affecting electric service to more than 134,000 homes and businesses throughout Northern and Central California. Sometimes these outages interrupt electric service to important facilities such as hospitals, schools and traffic lights. A video and photos detailing the damage that can result from metallic balloons coming into contact with power lines can be found on PG&E's Currents website.
The number of power outages caused by metallic balloons in PG&E's service area has more than doubled over the past decade. In order to significantly reduce this number and to help ensure that everyone can safely enjoy their Valentine's Day, PG&E reminds customers to follow these important safety tips for metallic balloons:
- "Look Up and Live!" Use caution and avoid celebrating with metallic balloons near overhead electric lines.
- Make sure helium-filled metallic balloons are securely tied to a weight that is heavy enough to prevent them from floating away. Never remove the weight.
- When possible, keep metallic balloons indoors, especially if accessible to small children. Never permit metallic balloons to be released outside, for everyone's safety.
- Do not bundle metallic balloons together.
- Never attempt to retrieve any type of balloon, kite or toy that becomes caught in a power line. Leave it alone, and immediately call PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 to report the problem.
- Never go near a power line that has fallen to the ground or is dangling in the air. Always assume downed electric lines are energized and extremely dangerous. Stay far away, keep others away and immediately call 911 to alert the police and fire departments.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation (NYSE:PCG), is one of the largest combined natural gas and electric utilities in the United States. Based in San Francisco, with 20,000 employees, the company delivers some of the nation's cleanest energy to 15 million people in Northern and Central California.

text: quote:Per the woman I was talking to; she didn't need (or wouldn't) start a validation case because her system showed my address was flashing "green" (right in her face she said). All set for UVerse.I tried to tell her about the issues my neighbor had with his AT&T DSL (previously SBC) and that I seriously doubted that the infrastructure could handle DSL, or UVerse for that matter. Her reply was that it was best that I sign up for it and the tech that came out would first test the feed to see if I was too far.That kinda sorta seems like a waste of time to me. I guess either way someone would have to come out to my location to check. I just think there is something bass ackwards about signing up for the service only to find out you can't get it. If it turns out I'm not eligible for UVerse that means I'll have to go with Charter, which I'm not liking.I guess I'll just have to sign up for service when I'm ready and cross my fingers.The worst part of calling "UVerse Sales" is the full court press on signing me up for service despite me telling them (several times) I wasn't ready to pull the trigger yet.

39 year old man | Addison, TX, USA | Seeking women 27-37 within 15 miles
Hustle, Loyalty, & Respect!
I consider myself a laid back guy with a good sense of humor. However, I am goal oriented and believe a man should follow through on things he says he will do. I enjoy watching sports (football, basketball, UFC) and playing cards/poker with friends, but golf is my real passion. Hanging at the pool, lake or beach with the grill fired up is a must in the summer. Lastly, I'm adventurous and love to travel and see new places. I am direct. If it seemed we had a connection, I would likely ask you out so we could get to know each other through good conversation as opposed to lengthy email strings.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Golf, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga

I like Dogs

Locally - I like to hang with friends on a patio at The Shops at Legacy, Addison or Uptown. Not so local - I go to Vegas 1-2 times per year.

I would say I like rock/alternative music, but I really listen to a little of everything. I enjoy movies and I can watch reruns of Seinfeld all day long.
I enjoy golf...when it's not in the brutal Texas heat! I watch and play sports whenever I can. I enjoy playing poker w/ the guys. Also, I like to walk at Arbor Hills and White Rock Lake..again, when it's not in the brutal Texas heat :-)

I think I may have won the first-to-test-in-October incorrigible award, because we just tested this morning (9DPO). BFN. But it's early still, and also, even though I used FMU, it was unusually dilute. So I'll wait and try again in a few days (if I can hold out that long).
The woman who gave us the tour of the site actually said, "well, with the way things work here, you could be pregnant by Christmas!" and I just wanted to laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.... then secretly I was thinking, really? that would be SO AWESOME!
So, it's a big roller coaster over here. Our last tank of swimmers arrives for at-home today and we're very nearly ready for them.
The next six weeks are going to be crazy!
Yay for October. Sweater weather, crock-pot cooking, leaf-peeping, BFP-getting season.
Okay, you just raised my anxiety a bit... I guess I was pretending that it wasn't almost October... but now it is! Oct 1 was my deadline for so many things (in my head)... YIKES! I better get busy!
Yay for October. Sweater weather, crock-pot cooking, leaf-peeping, BFP-getting season.
JJNoho - I've moved you. Did the midwives prescribe Clomid for you or did they just do the monitoring and the insems? I wonder if I could do midwife monitoring and trigger shots. . . hmmm.
let's not put the cart before the horse and already plan for the next cycle, since you are already pregnant right?
Incidentally, SPCD, we're at the same fertility clinic. If I ever go back. I saw the doc whose last name starts with O but I'm hoping to switch to the one that everyone likes with the impossible to pronounce name that starts with W. Whcih one do you see? Who do you like?
I got the IUI this morning. Then got to meet and introduce my intellectual hero. It's nice to know I'm among some nerdy types who understand that.
bttrflygypsy, ha! So glad you understand. I think it's great you'll have a workshop to take your mind off the obsession. Plus, it has to be good mojo to spend the iui day doing what you enjoy and are good at.
Lyndzies, fingers crossed for you! Don't worry about the syringes. All you need to do is wash with soap and water. If you are worried about drying break out a blowdryer . Get lots of rest so you don't get sick!

Whooshing sound in gas grill
maggieAugust 24, 2008
I have a Viking Gas Grill and when I turn one of the burners on, I guess a loud continuous whooshing sound, similar to what I think can happen when you are in a windy area with the grill on. I am having a Barbecue on Thursday! Is this something I can easily fix myself? Any suggestions?

Cazenovia's boys lacrosse team put the perfect cap on its best season, roaring to the NYSPHSAA Class C championship with a thorough 14-6 beating of Long Island outfit Bayport-Blue Point late Saturday afternoon at Cicero-North Syracuse's Bragman Stadium.
The Lakers, winners of their first Section III crown two weeks earlier, completed a 22-1 campaign and became the third Cazenovia team to win a state championship in 2011-12. And this one had strong ties to the other two.
Back in the fall, when Cazenovia's field hockey team earned the state title, it did so on the same CNS turf as the lacrosse Lakers would use to finish off its masterpiece. And, of course, many of these same lacrosse players also starred on the undefeated state Division II ice hockey championship team that rolled through the winter.
This day brought to a climax the 15-year work of head coach Jim Longo to turn a fledgling program into a powerhouse.
"We brought our 'A' game," Longo said. "The kids were really focused for today. We've been telling them since day one back in March (playing for a state championship) is where we want to be. They did it."
Longo could afford to sit back and enjoy the stroll, such was his team's dominance. The Lakers never trailed, holding leads of 4-1 after one quarter, 9-2 at halftime and 11-4 after three quarters.
"We told them from the opening whistle to bring it (and) be intense. Don't ease into it. As soon as that gate opens, man, we're going,'" Longo said. "That's what they did."
Cazenovia senior All America selection Sean Cannizzaro made the quickest start of anyone. The senior scored the Lakers' first two goals, three of their first four, and showed little sign of suffering from a separated shoulder he received in the state semifinal against Silver Creek three nights earlier.

Hinase Part 2
... when Makoto decided we shouldn't work anymore today and should instead go sailing on his boat, it's safe to say I didn't need much convincing! So after sailing around for a few hours we came back home for the leaving party as Lauren was also leaving. It was no ordinary party but a takoyaki and okonomiyaki party, the type of party where you eat till you can't move and then you eat some more! If that wasn't enough the day of my departure we went to a sushi restaurant where the food ...

Oliver Stone will direct movie focused on Edward Snowden
American film director Oliver Stone will make a movie based on former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, as he journeyed from American spy turned whistleblower.
"This is one of the greatest stories of our time," Stone said in a statement. "A real challenge. I'm glad to have the Guardian working with us."
Choosing Stone to direct the movie is a rather interesting choice, as the 67-year-old is known for being rather unique with the way he uses the truth. However, he's a vocal supporter of Julian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, so it will be interesting to see how he directs the movie - and what type of political slant he uses while filming.

NCA claims UK has just two weeks to prepare for Cryptolocker onslaught
Britain's National Crime Agency has taken the unusual step of posting an "urgent alert" for UK netizens - claiming they have "two weeks" to protect against an impending surge of botnet activity, by way of the GoZeuS and Cryptolocker malware.
Through Get Safe Online - the official British web safety group - the organization warned in conjunction with American authorities that this upcoming onslaught is part of "one of the largest industry and law enforcement collaborations attempted to date".
It's thought that pretty much everyone running any kind of Windows OS is at risk. According to the NCA, GoZeuS - AKA Gameover ZeuS - has already pocketed hundreds of millions the world over. What's next is a massive worldwide lockdown using CryptoLocker as ransomware. In fact, according to a recent study, as many as 40 percent of those hit by the ransomware pay the fee.
Despite all the doomsday sooth-saying, there's not quite reason to panic just yet. And actually, these kind of widely pervasive threats can be a boon for IT security - as they provide the rare incentive for backing up important files and keeping antivirus software up to date - which is basically a good habit to get into anyway, at a minimum.
Reddit, others pledge support for anti-NSA Reset The Net campaign
Major websites such as Reddit, Imgur and DuckDuckGo are to take part in the June 5 "Reset The Net" anti-NSA spying online campaign.
They have pledged their support for the day, backed by household-name nonprofits like Amnesty International and Greenpeace, and look like they will promote the effort by offering a splash screen and a push notification that sends users towards a mobile privacy pack. Website owners are being encouraged to begin folding encryption such as SSL, HSTS and PFS into their websites, with a view to making collecting user data more difficult.
The underlying message of the campaign, as described on the official website, is not to "ask for your privacy" but to "take it back".

Time for companies to be held responsible for mass data breaches
Lawmakers have struggled to try to keep up with technology, and recent waves of cybersecurity data breaches are difficult to defend against. Companies are losing employee and customer data, while consumers are seeing an increase in credit and debit card theft, loss of personal information, and potential headaches from identity fraud.
The massive Target breach that opened 70 million customers to potential identity theft drew a large amount of media attention. A number of smaller breaches followed over the next few months, and then the recent eBay breach grabbed international headlines last month. Following eBay's disclosure of a major breach, several state investigations have been launched - and the auction house company now faces additional scrutiny from a growing number of European governments.
Unfortunately, companies are struggling to try to keep data secure, and there aren't many regulations that force companies to keep data secure. However, there are growing numbers of people that want to see financial - and possible criminal penalties - in place to keep data breaches under control.
Public utility companies scoring fairly high on security scores
Cyberattacks focus on critical infrastructure such as public utilities, with many companies struggling to keep defenses updated. However, a recent industry analysis noted that major electric utilities received a 751 on a 250 to 900 scale, trailing only behind the financial industry which scored a 782, according to analysis from BitSight Technologies. Investor-controlled utility companies have been able to develop sophisticated security practices to keep their infrastructure better secure from cyber breaches.
"Large investor owned utilities have fairly sophisticated security practices," said Ave Dalva, VP of security science at Stroz Friedberg, in a statement. "Like large financial institutions, they have significant security budgets and cyber risk has executive level visibility."
Public utility companies have largely struggled to maintain cybersecurity efforts - and despite the high score - will have to keep on their toes, as hackers will still focus on attacking public utilities. Fortune 500 companies are scrambling to try to improve security, and paying large salaries and added perks to hire executive-level cybersecurity experts.
Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde arrested to serve sentence
Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde has been arrested in Sweden and will have to serve his eight-month jail sentence, with police searching for him from 2012, according to Swedish National Police Board officials. Sunde was living in Germany but was recently arrested in southern Sweden, and was quickly taken into custody.
"He is extremely talented and I still think that the judgment was wrong," said Peter Althin, Sunde's defense lawyer during his legal proceedings. "It's about being on the cutting edge if one is going to be successful... but if one is too far ahead it is not always about success. Peter fought for file-sharing and in 10 years I think it goes without saying that file-sharing for one's own needs will be allowed."
In late April, Pirate Bay hit the 10 million torrent milestone, as the popular online site continues to garner a large following. Despite founders and organizers being sentenced to varying prison sentences - and millions in fines - Pirate Bay will continues to function normally.
Mojave Networks finds mobile apps accessing user information
Following news from Gartner that 75 percent of mobile security breaches will be caused by app misconfiguration, applications and third-party ad networks are accessing large amounts of information that open the door to security threats:
At least 78 percent of applications downloaded by business users connect to an ad network, social media API, or analytics API, according to mobile security company Mojave Networks.
"It is critically important that users and IT administrators understand what data is being collected from their devices, where it is being sent, and how it is being used," according to the blog post published by Mojave Networks. "Given that the majority of the sensitive data being collected occurs within these third party libraries such as ad networks, social media APIs, and analytics tools, it is therefore important to fully understand each of the libraries included in your mobilie apps."
'Pentagon Papers' whistleblower says Snowden won't get fair trial
The "Pentagon Papers" whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg doesn't believe former NSA contractor Edward Snowden would be treated fairly if he faced trial after coming back to the United States. Snowden is currently living in Russia and has avoided extradition to the United States, where he would certainly face legal issues from the federal government.
"He's a fugitive, not as Secretary Kerry says from justice - he's a fugitive from injustice," Ellsberg recently said. "He has no chance of a fair, just trial in this country. He'd be facing a jail cell from the time he stepped off the plane here. He would probably never get out, unless the Espionage Act is changed, as it should be."
Snowden said he would like to return home in the future, though that wouldn't be likely as he's still charged under the 1917 Espionage Act. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Kerry taunted the former NSA contractor, saying he's a "coward."

Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet create cyber defense consortium
Enterprise security companies Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet have teamed up to create a cyber defense consortium tasked with threat intelligence data sharing in the technology industry. The consortium will also offer coordination of incident response and better prevention of cyberattacks using advanced malware.
It's something that should have been created in the past among security companies, though as advanced persistent threats (APTs) and advanced evasion techniques (AETs) continue to evolve. APT attacks, for example, are typically well-researched and conduct operations without interfering with typical day-to-day operations, which make these type of attacks difficult to identify.
" We are pleased to work with another respected innovator like Fortinet to join forces in the ongoing battle against the rapidly evolving threats stemming from advanced malware and APTs," said Mark McLaughlin, Palo Alto Networks President and CEO, in a press statement. " The consortium is a clear response to the demands from the industry for a coordinated response from their technology vendors."
After Heartbleed, 'Cupid' could hit Wi-Fi routers & Android devices
Weeks after it became evident Heartbleed was one of the biggest security threats to the internet ever, one security researcher has released a proof of concept that could deploy the same vulnerability over Wi-Fi.
Luis Grangeia has called his concept 'Cupid', and it would operate in a similar way to Heartbleed. But rather than being hidden on the web, it would run over Wi-Fi and take data from routers or Android devices. Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1 devices are particularly vulnerable.
There's not quite cause for panic over this vulnerability just yet, as although there's a proof of concept the attack would have to be carried out over Wi-Fi range, which would limit potential targets, the Verge reports.
Regardless, Grangeia points out it's important for vendors, admins and users to keep their devices up to date and as protected as possible, as well as demonstrating just how big an impact Heartbleed has had, and will likely continue to have.

Slippery When Wet
And you will be
Okay, so there aren't any wet-tee-shirt contests during "Wet 'N' Wild Wednesdays" at Daisy Dukes, but considering all the H2O flying everywhere, breasts bobbing behind soaking fabric seems inevitable. Darn. The crew of Daisy Dukes, 222 East University in Tempe, wanted to give people a cool respite from the Valley's triple-digit temperatures, so they created the all-day-long weekly water party. "In the summer, it's obviously hot, and people can come in here and do something fun to stay cool," says Javier Martin, one of the club's managers. "We have a water balloon toss, squirt gun fights, stuff like that." If folks get hungry running from the water hoses, they can mangia $6 "munchie platters," with delectables like chicken strips, and wash 'em down with ice cold $2 Dos Equis and Pacifico from 1 to 5 p.m. And there's no cover, which means more money for beer and dry towels.

The Fat and the Curious
Lard of the fries
Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock drove all over the country, talking to nutritionists, fast foodies and doctors, and living on nothing but McDonald's food, and what did he get for it? In addition to the Academy Award-nominated documentary Super Size Me, which screens Thursday, July 21, at Whole Foods Market, 10810 North Tatum, Spurlock gained insights into the greasy industry behind Fat America, a spur of health problems, and several extra pounds. "As the days pass, the reality of what this food does to you really comes across on-screen," Spurlock says. The free screening at 7 p.m. includes organic food samples.

The news of the agreement comes on the same day sources claim Deutsche Bank is rethinking its interest in underwriting a $1 billion film-finance pact for film studio MGM.
UA, which is run by Tom and his partner Paula Wagner, will use the money to cover production of 15 to 18 films over the next five years. I'm sure 17 of those films will have Tom as the star. See, crazy does pay off!

Montreal police say an 18-month-old who was being wheeled in a stroller is being treated in hospital for serious, but not life-threatening, injuries after being struck by a vehicle in Rivière-des-Prairies.
Montreal police said the accident happened Monday, at about 5:15 p.m., as the child and mother were crossing the intersection at Perras Boulevard and Elie-Beauregard Avenue in Montreal's northeast end.
The 56-year-old driver of the car that struck the baby stroller was treated for shock.
The child's mother was not hurt.
Police are investigating the cause of the accident.

Here at Robot Vegan, we love challenging stereotypes about leading a green lifestyle… especially when it comes to fashion. There are much more fashion forward ways of reflecting our green values in the clothing we choose than by donning a beat up pair of Birkenstocks, ripped Levi's, and a tie dye tee. Apparently this notion is shared by some of the biggest names in fashion and acting as well! Livia Firth, Colin Firth's wife and founder of the Green Carpet Challenge is spreading the word about sustainability in the top celebrity and design circles this award season and we are so stoked on all the attention she's calling to the important issue of sustainable fashion.
The Green Carpet Challenge has actually been around for a few years, but according to their website 2012 is their biggest year yet.
"The Green Carpet Challenge began in late 2009 when Livia Firth was challenged by her friend, writer Lucy Siegle to take sustainable style to the world's biggest red carpet events. Livia's husband, actor Colin Firth had just won the Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival for his performance in Tom Ford's debut, A Single Man. It was clear that more awards would follow and Livia braced herself for some serious red carpet walking."
For this year's award season, Livia has used her influence in the fashion and celebrity world to pull together some amazing designers to create gowns and tuxedos on par with the Green Carpet Challenge's strict eco standards. The GCC then pairs the designs with celebrities who will be walking down the hottest red carpets of the year. Designers include Georgio Armani, who it seems has been a huge part of realizing Firth's sustainable fashion dreams, Chanel, Alberta Ferretti, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney, Paul Smith, Valentino, Roger Vivier, Ermenegildo Zegna, and Tom Ford, another close partner to the GCC.
A couple favorites of this year are Valentino's beautiful pink gown which Viola Davis at the BAFTA awards (below) and Livia's Oscars dress made by Gary Harvey out of eleven "pre-loved and forgotten" dresses from the era of The King's Speech, which I am completely in love with, pictured above.
Livia's love for ethical and sustainable high fashion is bringing this important issue into the spotlight and her passion is infectious. Keep your eye out for more glamorous gowns that are as easy on the environment as they are on the eyes.
"We believe in fashion as a great communicator. The fashion we communicate promotes social justice, environmental integrity and brilliant design."
We couldn't agree more.
To get the whole back story on the GCC and to keep up with the project, head over the Livia's blog at Vogue UK and her own site, Eco-Age.
Also, check out this great article over at Huffington Post in which Livia and her partner talk about what the project means to them.

I've done it both ways, and to be honest other than the ability to give the code and webform to two different people (which doesn't happen where I work), I see very little advantage of one method over the other. I can understand how it is nice to have your code in one file, and markup in the other, but I can also understand the ease of having both in a single file.
I don't see how using code-behind enforces any sort of "good" programming, because you can still write crappy code in code-behind, and I've seen some really clean stuff with in-line.
So my real questions, what method are you using? and is there anything you can do programatically with code-behind that simply cannot be done with in-line code? or does it all really come down to the simple matter of "personal preference". Microsoft seems to not take a real stand on one way or the other and performance wise, it seems a wash.

I love libraries. I love Brooklyn. So it was my great pleasure to get this recent commission and, in the process, learn more about a venerable institution I thought I already knew. Check out the results:
music by the one and only Kaki King.
Check out my latest collabo with Livestream and the Times Square Alliance.
Since 2oo2, Times Square has been hosting a giant, all-day, free outdoor yoga festival on the summer solstice as a counterpoint to the New Years celebrations that take place 10 days after the winter solstice. This year, 16,000 people pre-registered for five different classes. I feel quite fortunate to have been involved, even if it was just editing together all the footage. Though I have to say, there's nothing like sitting in a darkened room, hunched over a computer, editing 15 hours of yoga classes to make you feel like a knotted snarl of linguine that was left in the pot over night.
Big thanks to Aradhna for supplying the music.
It was an honor to produce this video for a wonderful social service organization based in Kingston, NY. Click to watch and find out how they help all kinds of people overcome their challenges and live fulfilling lives.
Special thanks to David McNamara of Collective NY Productions for use of the Epic RED camera and his skilled lensing.
I love the Future Bible Heroes. (As a matter of fact, I'm quite fond of all Stephin Merritt's musical endeavors.) So I was pleased as punch when Merge Records recently asked me to hang out with Mr. Merritt and his heroic collaborators (on my birthday, no less) to help introduce their latest endeavors to the world. This video is the result.
I just made this video for the Times Square Alliance about a new initiative that introduces solar powered trash compactors and recycling bins to Times Square. If people use them, the city will install these massive receptacles all over town.

New Shed - larger foot print or lofts?
nealveyFebruary 14, 2014
Hi all,
I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new shed. I don't need anything huge - just something to store mowers, camping supplies, etc.
I can get a 10x12 lofted shed or a 10x16 "regular" shed for about $2400 - it's built on site and not portable. Both have 6' sidewalls - it's just the roof height that's different. I have an acre yard so no space/zoning issues. Trying to figure out if I'd rather have space up top to put things or more floor space (where I could put cabinets to store things...).
Thoughts? Thanks!
