Reuben Ross shoots Ben McCulloch in duel
On this day in 1839, Reuben Ross, standing in for Alonzo B. Sweitzer, seriously wounded Ben McCulloch in a duel. The encounter and its aftermath exemplify the persistence (and absurdity) of the Southern code duello tradition in the Republic of Texas and the ineffectiveness of the antidueling law passed by the Congress of the republic in 1836. The bad blood between McCulloch and Sweitzer began during their 1839 race for a seat in the Texas House of Representatives and intensified during their subsequent involvement in the pursuit of Indians who had raided Gonzales County. After a lengthy exchange of insults, Sweitzer's friend Ross delivered a formal challenge to McCulloch, who refused to accept on the grounds that Sweitzer was not a gentleman. Ross, however, was an acceptable substitute, and the two faced off with rifles at forty paces in a field two miles north of Gonzales. Ross, a trained duelist, shot McCulloch in the right arm, a wound that left him permanently crippled. With honor apparently satisfied, Ross sent his personal surgeon to tend to McCulloch and expressed his regret at having "to meet so brave a man in a private encounter." McCulloch was indicted for "setting at nought the quiet and good morals of this community" by "wickedly, willfully, and maliciously" accepting Ross's challenge, but the district attorney chose not to prosecute. The violence continued, however, as McCulloch's brother Henry shot and killed an obstreperous (and reportedly intoxicated) Ross a few months later, and the quarrelsome Sweitzer died in a pistol duel with Robert S. Neighbors in 1841. Ben McCulloch went on to serve as a Confederate general during the Civil War and was killed in the battle of Pea Ridge.

AUSTRALIA has a bush fire policy of "stay and defend, or leave early". A century of data suggests that people more often die fleeing fires than fighting them, and that most houses are set alight by ember-strikes, which are much easier to fight than an advancing wall of flame.
Only a detailed analysis will show whether the policy made sense in this year's horrific fires (see "Climate scientists had warned of Australian bushfires"). But one flaw is already emerging: people are not taught to prepare themselves psychologically for the onslaught of a fire. Many died fleeing, apparently having decided to stay but then losing their nerve.
Much effort has gone into dealing with the psychological aftermath of disasters. We need psychological preparedness too, and not just in Australia but also in other fire-prone regions such as southern California.

AboutFollowing on from Felix Sefton Delmer's show PAINT at North House Gallery which has been defying winter with the gorgeous colours of the monochrome paintings, the next show, as the name suggests, is focusing solely on the blues. STATEMENT: Cobalt, Ultramarine, Prussian, Cerulean, Antwerp, Indigo, Manganese, Phtalo, and Oriental, are some of the blue pigments available to painters. Each pigment has its own unique properties and qualities. I have no preference for one colour over another. I think of colours as how the keys on a piano must be for a musician. These paintings are my blue notes. The constant fluctuation and quality of light acting on pigment alters the colour perception of the human eye. The density of pigment in the medium, the method of application and the effect of light over time, are the factors that constitute the essence of these paintings.

Union Rags Returns as Champagne Favorite
A sunny, picturesque fall afternoon awaits Belmont Park on Oct. 8, with no rain in the forecast. The question of the day is, will Union Rags run as well on a dry track as he did in the slop nearly two months ago? If he does, the other eight juveniles he faces could be have a tall task ahead of them.
Union Rags, a runaway winner of the Aug. 15 Three Chimneys Saratoga Special (gr. II), puts his unbeaten record on the line in the $300,000 Champagne Stakes (gr. I), where he was made the 7-5 morning-line favorite. The winner of the one-mile event will receive a paid trip to the Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) on Nov. 5 at Churchill Downs.
Post time for the Champagne, which shares the spotlight with two other grade I races on Saturday at Belmont, is slated for 5:18 p.m. EDT.
Owned by Chadds Ford Stable and trained by Michael Matz, Union Rags romped by 7 1/4 lengths in the Saratoga Special, which was run in a sea of slop. The son of Dixie Union dueled and then edged in front of favored Stat at about the half-mile marker, drawing clear in the stretch despite drifting out badly under Javier Castellano. He earned a 95 Beyer Speed Figure for the effort.
In his July 12 debut at Delaware Park, Union Rags proved that he was also capable on a dry track, breaking his maiden by 1 3/4 lengths going five furlongs.
Based at Fair Hill training center for Matz, the bay colt has worked four times since the Saratoga Special. Bought for $390,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Florida select 2-year-olds in training sale and consigned by Eddie Woods, agent, Union Rags was bred in Kentucky by Phyllis M. Wyeth and is out of the Gone West mare Tempo. Castellano will ride once again.
"He's been doing fine," said Matz. "He's growing up, and each race he will continue to mature more and hopefully progress. Right now, we are quite happy with the way he is."
No other stakes winners are included in the field, but there are a host of impressive maiden winners. Among them is Godolphin Stable's Alpha , a six-length victor in his Sept. 3 debut at Saratoga going seven furlongs. The son of Bernardini broke slowly but took over turning for home and drew clear convicingly under Alan Garcia. He recorded a bullet work Oct. 3 at Belmont for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin, clocking five furlongs in :59 4/5 in his second work since his debut. Garcia will have the call again on the 5-2 second choice.
"Union Rags is the horse to beat but we like our horse," said McLaughlin. "He's doing great and the one mile should suit. We just broke his maiden, so it's a big step to a grade I. The timing is good, with him having had his first race a month ago. As racing goes, you'd like to start them a little earlier but we're here now. We think he fits well."
Another no-doubt-about-it maiden winner was McConnell Racing Stable and Team Stallion Racing's Speightscity, who scored by 11 1/2 lengths going nine furlongs at Saratoga on Sept. 2. The Gary Contessa trainee put on his dazzling display after running fourth on the Saratoga turf course in his racing debut on Aug. 11. By Speightstown , the chestnut ridgling will get a new rider—Corey Nakatani.
Rick Dutrow Jr. won the Champagne two years ago with Homeboykris and is back with another good chance thanks to Jay Em Ess Stable's Takes the Gold. The son of Corinthian won by 3 1/4 lengths in his second start Sept. 10 at Belmont, also at one mile. He was sent off as the 1-2 choice that day after failing as the favorite in his Aug. 6 debut at Saratoga when third.
Also in the mix is Donald Adam's homebred Power World, runner-up in both the July 2 Bashford Manor (gr. III) at Churchill Downs and July 24 Sanford Stakes (gr. II) at Saratoga. The son of Distorted Humor was fifth in the Three Chimneys Hopeful (gr. I) in his last start.

Chimney / Flue Question..
Here's a question for you guys out there that know a little about chimney's.. being down in S. Fla., we're a little out of touch when it comes to code / rules related to chimney design, etc...
The front landing of my oven will be under a covered patio and I'll be running my flue on a diagonal back up over the dome into a masonry chimney at the rear of my stand in order to get around my patio over hang... the oven enclosure will be a gable design with the upper portion built of 4x8x16 concrete block (block is standard down here in hurricane country) that will be filled with loose perlite insulation.
My question is this... can I use a flexible single wall chimney liner from my vent running through the loose perlite insulation over to the masonry chimney at the rear or do I need to use the double wall stuff (e.g., the duravent product sold here on Forno Bravo).
With the flexible liner, I don't think I'd need the 30 degree angle connectors and the multiple pieces of 8" wide x 48" pipe need to traverse the span between the vent at the front of the oven back to the chimney...
Here's the flexible liner I've been looking at: eBay: 8" X 20' Stainless 316Ti Steel Chimney Liner Free S&H (item 290023034911 end time Feb-21-07 07:17:25 PST)
I guess to be really specific, I know the building code for an internal structure will require a triple insulated product, but this structure being outside and filled with loose perlite insulation, can I get away with the single wall flexible stuff?
Thanks guys...
Re: Chimney / Flue Question..
First off, this is an unusual request in my experience, but here goes. The flexible stuff you're looking at is really meant as a reliner for existing masonry chimneys, and I've used it that way in the past for masonry chimneys with problems not easily fixed. It's important to realize that this material is thin, will radiate considerable heat into your perlite and keep the enclosure quite warm. This will obviate using combustible materials anywhere near it, and you'd have to be careful about venting the enclosure. In a Florida summer, heat radiation could be a real issue, and I doubt loose perlite would be sufficient.
Perlite is fireproof, true, but I wouldn't run the pipe through loose material. What you might want to do is make up a perlite/portland mix (6:1 by volume)and coat the pipe with about six inches of the stuff once you had it routed, then use loose perlite in the other open areas. Alternately, you could wrap the pipe in Insulfrax, then follow the same procedure.
Personally, I'd use the double-walled stainless insulated pipe, just for peace of mind. You won't be able to see what's going on with the pipe, and I'd be a lot happier knowing I'd gone the double-walled route.
Hope that's some help, and maybe other members will have other ideas.

Benoit Aquin - Haiti: Chaos and Daily Life
From February 28 to May 12, 2013
This exhibition has ended.
The McCord Museum presents Haiti: Chaos and Daily Life, by photographer Benoit Aquin. In his 40 oversized colour photos, Aquin offers a vision of Haiti today and takes an honest look at the day-to-day lives of Haitians as they cope with the chaos caused by the January 2010 earthquake.
A number of excerpts taken from works by Haitian-born Montreal novelist Dany Laferrière, including quotes from his 2010 memoir, The World is Moving Around Me, complement the exhibition and bring an added perspective to Aquin's photographs. A brief history of Haiti is also presented at the entry to the exhibition.
Benoit Aquin is a Montreal photojournalist whose ambitious documentary projects take years of preparation and reflect the social and economic implications of our relationship with the environment. In 2008, he received the prestigious Prix Pictet, which recognizes photography dedicated to environmental sustainability, for his series The Chinese Dust Bowl. For more than 20 years, he has contributed to a number of magazines and newspapers, including Voir, Time, Maclean's, La Presse and The Guardian. His works can also be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.

Talking with Navision: Say Hello to Navision and Expect Navision to Be Polite
Manuel Oliveira
Microsoft Portugal
September 2004
Applies to:
Microsoft Navision
Summary: Navision is perceived by many as a closed application, in the sense that integrating the ERP with other technologies is not possible. The main purpose of this article is to show a way through this concern. (15 printed pages)
Some Facts
The Unavoidable "Hello World"
If you have been developing in Navision for a while, you have probably experienced a stage in which you were pretty confident you could develop just about any piece of functionality within Navision.
Later, you learned you could create and instantiate Automation variables, meaning you could write some code within Navision that would interact with a Microsoft Excel sheet, for instance. Being able to do this has deepened your confidence.
Now you have been asked to expose the Navision business layer to a 3rd party application. This task poses a serious challenge, and your confidence is threatened when you suddenly realize your considerable universe of control must be triggered by a user interacting with Navision controls in a Navision client.
How can you transform such a system into an unattended server capable of asynchronously responding to external requests? Worry not, my friend. This article shows you how to build a tiny application that talks to Navision and waits for an answer. Conversely, it will show you how to instruct Navision to listen and to produce the expected answer.
Some Facts
There are some facts concerning Navision of which you should be aware before you start looking at the solution. You will see that the solution you are being given is merely some basic engineering, with these facts as the supporting science.
Be sure to understand the concepts of Automation, Windows service, and event handler (or delegate) before reading the following paragraphs.
This is a very powerful feature. Not only can you create and instantiate Automation variables, allowing you to issue commands to the Automation Server, but you will also be able to control how your Automation Server will react to events.
For instance, you are designing a Navision codeunit. You add an Automation variable that represents a Microsoft Excel workbook, and another one that represents the Microsoft Excel application. Let us suppose your code creates a new workbook and adds it to the application. By now, you should be able to write code that interacts with this workbook as if it were a human user.
By setting the application variable WithEvents property, a collection of event handler headers appears in the code pane, allowing you to write code for dealing with each of these events.
You could, for instance, insert a record into a Navision table each time a user saves the active workbook. Even better for proving this concept, a message box pops up stating that the workbook is about to be saved.
Note This is true as long as the variable is not destroyed. If the user closes the workbook, the corresponding Navision variable will no longer handle its events, even if the workbook is reopened. Also, when the running Navision object returns, its variables are automatically cleared. Even though Excel will still be running, Navision will no longer recognize it as an Automation server.
OnRun() IF NOT CREATE(ExApp,TRUE) THEN EXIT; ExApp.Visible(TRUE); ExBook := ExApp.Workbooks.Add; ExApp::WorkbookBeforeSave(Wb : Automation "'Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library'.Workbook";SaveAsUI : Boolean;VAR Cancel : Boolean) MESSAGE ('The Excel book ' + Wb.Name + ' is just being saved!');
As has been previously said, you will not be able to see this last message box, unless the variables state is somehow kept alive. If you keep reading, soon enough that message will pop-up.
Single-Instance Codeunits
Usually, every Navision object is run or called from within another object, but once the transaction is finished, the instance is reset and so are its variables.
There are some notable exceptions to this principle. By setting the object SingleInstance property, its state pertains between successive calls.
A simple example will help: imagine you have a codeunit which has a single Integer variable and your OnRun() trigger simply increments the variable by one and pops out a message box stating its current value.
By running the codeunit without changing the mentioned property, you will always read 1 (one). After setting the property, you will successively read 1, 2, 3, and so on.
OnRun() i := i + 1; MESSAGE (FORMAT (i));
Combining These Last Two Facts
Suppose you set your Excel workbook creator codeunit's SingleInstance property. What do you get? Essentially, after running the codeunit once, as long as you do not close either Navision or the Excel workbook, you can exercise other Navision functionalities and modules. Every time the Excel workbook is saved, a message box stating that the workbook is about to be saved will interrupt your Navision client, just as in Figure 1.
Figure 1. The message box you get when saving the workbook.
Notice the immense power you will get by combining such features. Still, you have one challenge to face: the "unattended" part of your task description. This leads us to the next fact, which may be a little harder to understand, as it involves the establishment of a somewhat complex scenario around your Navision environment.
Introducing the Navision Application Server
The Navision Application Server (NAS) is a Windows Service. It has a collection of parameters that indicate where to find your Navision Database Server and which company to open, for example.
It also has a Start-up parameter value entry that enables you to pass a string to Navision. We will get back to this string shortly.
When you start the NAS windows service, it will use the given parameters to open a specific company within a specific database mounted on a specific server. This is very good, but because it has no user interface at all, its entry point should not be the usual main menu. It will rather exercise the trigger whose ID is 99 in codeunit 1.
Note This feature is documented in the Navision Application Server Technical White Paper. Codeunit 1 (ApplicationManagement) has a trigger 99 named NASHandler. A successful matching of server, database, and company when starting the Application Server will fire this trigger.
This is where the string matters. It will be the argument that is passed to this trigger. If you design this codeunit, you will see that other string values are already considered by Navision as being valid start-up parameter values.
CASE Parameter OF 'MAILLOG': CODEUNIT.RUN(CODEUNIT::"E-Mail Dispatcher"); 'ADCS': BEGIN ADCSNASStartup.SetNASID(COPYSTR(ParamStr,SepPosition + 1)); ADCSNASStartup.RUN; END; ELSE IF CPApplnSrvSetup.GET(Parameter) THEN BEGIN CPApplnSrvMgt.SetNASID(Parameter); WORKDATE := 0D; IF CPApplnSrvMgt.GetSendMail THEN BEGIN MailHandler.RUN; MailHandler.StartCountDown(2000); END; IF CPApplnSrvMgt.GetPerformSynch THEN MsgDispatcher.RUN; IF CPApplnSrvMgt.GetPerformRequests THEN RequestHandler.RUN; END ELSE ERROR(Text018,Parameter); END;
Shall We Combine Again?
By all means, yes. All you have to do is choose a start-up parameter value (EXCEL, for instance) and add an entry to the CASE command within trigger 99 that will be exercised whenever the NAS is started with such a parameter.
Figure 2. A possible Navision Application Server configuration.
It will simply call your single instance codeunit in which the Excel workbook variable events are being handled from within Navision.
With such a scenario, after starting the NAS service with parameters like those presented in Figure 2, you will see Excel starting up from nowhere as no Navision client is necessarily present; this is the first interesting part.
Furthermore, you will get an event viewer message every time the workbook is saved, and this is the second interesting part; you know it is your Navision code that is producing the event viewer message, as it lacks a user interface for popping up such message boxes.
Although this may all be very nice stuff, it does not address the main challenge, which is having Navision communicate with any 3rd party application, and not just with Excel.
Introducing the Communication Components
The Navision Communication Components are a set of Automation Servers that allow you to send and receive information through a small variety of transport interfaces and protocols. At least sockets, named pipes, and message queues are available, so you will probably be able to experience differences in robustness and efficiency, based on which you can make your option.
Personally, I prefer message queues, as they offer an excellent message abstraction by
- being able to queue them up according to their priority or simply on a first-in first-out basis;
- respecting each message unity;
- allowing you to put it inside a kind of envelope in which you state who is the message recipient.
This is pretty much what real world post-offices do with real world correspondence, and that is why I see a good abstraction.
Note In this article, and for demonstration purposes, message queues will be used. However, any other choice will work with some code changes. I recommend you search for a devguide.chm file in your Navision product CD, which documents the differences I am talking about.
Each of these communication component types offer the developer an event handler that is fired up each time it receives some information. In the message queuing system scenario, it fires up whenever there is at least one message in the queue, just ready to be consumed.
Scrambling These Facts Altogether
Take a moment to think about what you could do if you take Microsoft Excel out from your scenario and you bring in one of these communication component types. You would handle the message arrival event instead of the workbook saving event.
In summary, you will have a windows service (NAS) starting up a single instance codeunit, which is capable of handling the arrival of messages. You are now able to asynchronously receive messages in Navision, and all you have to do is write the code to parse those messages, exercise the appropriate business layer functionality, and build an appropriate response to the initial message.
Figure 3. The proposed architecture logical diagram (Navision side).
Now, roll up your sleeves and prepare for some action.
The Unavoidable "Hello, World"
After having read and understood the last facts, you could easily deploy a simple system, in which you would achieve the task you have been assigned by cleverly combining what you have learned.
Nonetheless, I will present one such simple proof-of-concept. A small Microsoft Visual C# application will be built that has two textboxes and one button, like you can see in Figure 4.
The user will be able to fill the first text box and press the button. If the communication is successful, then the second text box will be filled with a capitalized version of the first textbox.
Figure 4. The Visual C# application main form layout.
Obviously, this could be a standalone application, as you really do not need Navision to capitalize your strings. On the other hand, if you can use Navision to asynchronously serve an external request for a string capitalization, you will be able to regain your confidence in being able to use Navision for any purpose.
Preparing the Environment (Navision Side)
As you have seen in Figure 3, there is an environment that must be established prior to the development of our scenario.
You may install the Navision client, the database server, and the application server from the Navision product CD.
Note I am currently using Navision 3.70, which is the most recent version at the date of this article. Although I experienced sensible improvements in the Navision Application Server, you can use any version, as long as it features this windows service.
I recommend you start by installing the client, as it will also provide you a demonstration database you can use for this purpose. Then, install the database server.
Tip Be sure to select Custom install, which will allow you to manually size the cache. By not doing so, your server will allocate a tremendous amount of memory for this purpose and you might not have enough resources to cope with this. My experience tells me a 20000Kb figure is just fine for lab use. Also, be sure to bind your server to the database installed, along with the client.
Third, install the Navision Application Server. This will install two windows services (one for each database server type: Navision Server or SQL Server). We will be using Navision Server as database server, so you can disable the other one. If you experience security problems like the lack of permissions, you may want to grant the service the Log On As right, binding it to an administrative account.
Along with the services, a console is also installed, which allows you to manage your NAS instances. Figure 2 depicts a possible details pane in such a console.
Tip Do not start an Application Server instance without previously being sure that all its parameters will allow the service to connect to Navision using the entry point you want. Otherwise, your Application Server will be trying to connect, which consumes resources and fills your Application Log with useless messages.
Finally, be sure that the Message Queuing is installed. This varies according to your operating system. In Windows XP, you may install it from the Add/Remove Windows Components button in the Add or Remove Programs option in Control Panel.
Add two queues. Mine are public, but you may want or need to create private queues instead. Later, when referring to your private queues, you will need to prefix its name with private$. Give them suggestive names like fromNavision and toNavision.
Your environment is ready to be customized. That is the next step.
Customizing Navision to Suit Your Needs
As we are describing a way to open Navision to the external development world, it is nice for us to bring the burden of message processing to the Navision side, so as to guarantee as much transparency as possible to the external development environment.
In other words, the code you will develop in Navision must conform to the messaging format adopted by our C# application. As you will see, if you have a string variable and simply send that string to a message queue (which may be done with a single line of code in C#), you will be sending an XML document, which has a single node whose name is string and whose content is the content of the string you are sending. For instance, if you were sending the message in Figure 4, you would be getting the following XML document:
<?xml version="1.0"> <string>Hello, world!</string>
Bearing this in mind, let us see how to customize your Navision database.
First of all, create a new codeunit. Add to this codeunit the following global variables:
|'Navision MS-Message Queue Bus Adapter'.MSMQBusAdapter
|'Navision Communication Component version 2'.CommunicationComponent
|'Navision Communication Component version 2'.InMessage
|'Microsoft XML, v3.0'.DOMDocument
|'Microsoft XML, v3.0'.IXMLDOMNode
|'Navision Communication Component version 2'.OutMessage
By having specified that you want Navision to receive the events from the automation control named CC2, you will notice that an additional procedure header will appear in your code pane:
CC2::MessageReceived(VAR InMessage : Automation "''.IDISPATCH")
This is where you will write the code that will be run whenever a certain queue receives a message. That queue must be configured elsewhere. The most obvious place to configure our queue is the OnRun() trigger. It should appear as follows:
OnRun() CREATE(MQBus); CREATE(CC2); CREATE (XMLDom); CC2.AddBusAdapter(MQBus,1); MQBus.OpenReceiveQueue('.\toNavision',0,0);
The first 3 lines of code create the automation variables. The fourth line adds a bus adapter to the communication component automation variable. This is where your code would be different, should you have chosen another bus adapter (like the socket bus adapter, for instance) instead.
These components have been designed in such a way that the developer configures and adds a bus adapter to a communication component whose events are captured by Navision, and Navision offers an event handler that maintains its interface regardless of the adapter that has been added to it. In other words, as long as your adapter is configured to receive messages, your handler will fire whenever there is a message and its argument will carry the message body.
The adapter configuration is the fifth line, in which you state to which message queue your code will be listening for new messages.
As you remember, you must set the SingleInstance property for your new codeunit, so these variables remain alive after the trigger returns. While in the code pane, select the View menu and then Properties to see your codeunit's properties.
And now, your "worker thread."
CC2::MessageReceived(VAR InMessage : Automation "''.IDISPATCH") // get the message InMsg := InMessage; InS := InMsg.GetStream(); // load the message into an XML document and find a node XMLDom.load (InS); XMLNode := XMLDom.selectSingleNode ('string'); // open the response queue and create a new message MQBus.OpenWriteQueue('.\fromNavision',0,0); OutMsg := CC2.CreateoutMessage('Message queue://.\fromNavision'); OutS := OutMsg.GetStream(); // build the contents of your message XMLNode.text := UPPERCASE (XMLNode.text); // fill the message and send it OutS.WRITE(XMLDom.xml); OutMsg.Send(0);
Let us take a moment here to better understand what we are doing.
// get the message InMsg := InMessage; InS := InMsg.GetStream();
In the first two lines of code, you are getting the contents of the message that you are receiving into a Navision stream variable.
// load the message into an XML document and find a node XMLDom.load (InS); XMLNode := XMLDom.selectSingleNode ('string');
Then, you are using the XML DOM to take your Navision stream as if it were an open file and to load it into an XML document. Again, using the DOM functionality, you query the XML document for a node named string.
// open the response queue and create a new message MQBus.OpenWriteQueue('.\fromNavision',0,0); OutMsg := CC2.CreateoutMessage('Message queue://.\fromNavision'); OutS := OutMsg.GetStream();
Now, you open your reply queue and create a new message. Then you initialize your output stream variable to be the new message stream.
// build the contents of your message XMLNode.text := UPPERCASE (XMLNode.text);
This line of code represents the business logic. In a real environment, you would like to be calling complex Navision functions in this section. Now you see it is possible. You could, for instance, be receiving an XML document carrying the header and the lines of an invoice that you would now be inserting in their proper places and then posting, exercising whichever internal modules Navision would find appropriate.
In this case and for the sake of simplicity, your business logic is as simple as a string capitalization.
// fill the message and send it OutS.WRITE(XMLDom.xml); OutMsg.Send(0);
Once your response is complete, it is sent to the client.
Note You have only changed the contents of the request message, which may not be the case in a real scenario. In a real scenario, you may be getting an invoice for posting as a request and you will probably want to reply with a success/failure message instead of echoing your invoice back to the client application. In our case, it is convenient to keep the message structure and simply capitalize the inner data.
We have used the communication components, we have set the SingleInstance property, and we have written the code to handle automation variables events. We are just missing the Application Server part, which will transform all this effort into a fully-automated, unattended process. You may want to run this codeunit manually for a few times before you automate it. This way, you will be able to use the Navision Debugger.
As you have seen before, it is codeunit 1 you should change if you want the Application Server to automatically run the codeunit you created. Just create a global variable in codeunit 1 that points to your codeunit (named NAVCOMM, for instance), locate the NASHandler trigger, and add the case option as depicted below:
CASE Parameter OF 'MAILLOG': CODEUNIT.RUN(CODEUNIT::"E-Mail Dispatcher"); 'ADCS': BEGIN ADCSNASStartup.SetNASID(COPYSTR(ParamStr,SepPosition + 1)); ADCSNASStartup.RUN; END; 'NAVCOMM': BEGIN NAVCOMM.RUN; END; ELSE IF CPApplnSrvSetup.GET(Parameter) THEN BEGIN CPApplnSrvMgt.SetNASID(Parameter); WORKDATE := 0D; IF CPApplnSrvMgt.GetSendMail THEN BEGIN MailHandler.RUN; MailHandler.StartCountDown(2000); END; IF CPApplnSrvMgt.GetPerformSynch THEN MsgDispatcher.RUN; IF CPApplnSrvMgt.GetPerformRequests THEN RequestHandler.RUN; END ELSE ERROR(Text018,Parameter); END;
Of course, you should configure your Navision Application Server Manager so that your NAS instance has this Start-up parameter value (NAVCOMM). Otherwise, it will not start your codeunit, thus not being able to serve the external requests.
At this point it is safe to start your Application Server instance. Expect to see an event in the Application Log like the one in Figure 5.
Figure 5. A successful Navision Application Server start.
Creating a Client Application for this Service
Having brought as much of the burden to Navision, one should expect the least possible effort onto the other end-point. With this architecture, that assumption is correct and you will soon see how little you should be concerned with Navision when formatting your requests and receiving back your answers.
Open the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET development environment and create a new Windows application project.
Onto the main form, lay three controls as depicted in Figure 4. Name the top textbox as txtSend, the button as btnSend, and the lower textbox as txtReceive.
Figure 6. Visual Studio .NET Server Explorer showing our queues.
Now, drag both queues you created for this purpose onto your form, thus creating two System.Messaging.MessageQueue instances. You can use the Server explorer as in Figure 6. Name the queues appropriately (mqFromNavision and mqToNavision).
Add the following code to your Form constructor:
public Form1() { // // Required for Windows Form Designer support // InitializeComponent(); // // TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call // mqFromNavision.Formatter = new System.Messaging.XmlMessageFormatter(new Type[] {typeof(String)}); }
This line of code will inform the mqFromNavision variable it will be expecting messages carrying strings.
Open the property page for this variable and click the Events button. Double click the ReceiveCompleted entry. This will create a delegate that you will fill as follows:
private void mqFromNavision_ReceiveCompleted(object sender, System.Messaging.ReceiveCompletedEventArgs e) { System.Messaging.Message m = mqFromNavision.EndReceive(e.AsyncResult); txtReceive.Text = (string)m.Body; }
Receiving a message is as simple as taking it off the queue and simply copying its data to the lower textbox. Remember you have already told the system what kind of messages you will be receiving in this queue, so you can safely take its body and show it elsewhere. Notice you do not see any particular references to Navision here.
The only thing that is missing is being able to send messages to Navision. Here, you will see the only required external reference to Navision. It should go as follows:
private void btnSend_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { mqToNavision.Send (txtSend.Text, "Navision MSMQ-BA"); mqFromNavision.BeginReceive (new System.TimeSpan (0,0,0,30)); }
When sending messages to Navision, label them with Navision MSMQ-BA, otherwise they will not be recognized by the CC2::MessageReceive Navision trigger implemented above.
There should be, at least, some thoughts about what we have done here.
The first (and perhaps the most serious) thing about doing this kind of integration in which you would want to rely upon the Navision business model, is exactly relying upon it. It may be a cumbersome development problem once you dive into the complex business logic that protects itself against wrong input data.
Navision has been designed to have human users sitting on Navision clients. With this in mind, if the user is presenting erroneous data, rolling back the transaction and producing an error message box is a good thing. However, if your user is the Application Server, rolling back the transaction in such a situation may not be a good idea, especially if the system has not sent a response message to whoever issued its request.
It is your responsibility to pre-validate the input data so that it does not configure an error according to the business model, or to change the business model so that its errors are handled in a softer model. As long as you guarantee a response message (with an error message in such a case) your external applications will experience no strange issues.
Consider wrapping the communication layer into a web service. Your external applications will appreciate having to invoke web methods instead of instantiating a message that goes to a message queue. Whether you choose to build a web service or not, consider stating your message queue paths as configuration keys. This will allow you to easily point your scenario to a different set of queues, should you change your environment.
Also, it is a best practice to wrap your code into exception catchers and handlers. We have not done so, as we were only proving a concept. If, however, something goes wrong (for instance, if the NAS service is down), you will be experiencing some fantastic unhandled exceptions and, even though we love seeing them once in a while, users do not.Manuel Oliveira is an Alliance Engineer working in Microsoft Portugal.

DES MOINES, Iowa Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan's first appearance in Iowa as Republican Mitt Romney's choice for vice presidential running mate Monday turned the Iowa State Fair into a media circus and political zoo.
Thousands of fairgoers jammed the grand concourse to get a glimpse of a GOP neighbor to the northeast and hear him explain his party's vision for America's future during a 12-minute speech that was punctuated by shouts from hecklers and cheers of supporters.
"That's a bonus," said Jan Tetrick, 74, an Adel Republican who came to the fair for a day's entertainment with her family and got the added benefit of seeing and hearing Ryan while she was perched atop a golf car in a sea of people who gathered for the stump speech or were drawn by curiosity to the cluster of TV cameras that documented the Wisconsin congressman's every move.
Steve Knouse, a Tombell, Texas, man and Ryan supporter who also got an unexpected glimpse of the Wisconsin congressman said he liked what he heard of the remarks "I could hear over the protesters. That's the environment you have to work in."
Ryan took to a microphone to tell the assembled throng that President Barack Obama continues to pile up massive federal debt by spending more money that the government takes in. "He's making matters worse and he's spending our children into a diminished future," he said.
"We're not growing this country like we need to to get us back on the path to prosperity," added Ryan, who praised presumptive GOP presidential nominee Romney as "a man who knows how to create jobs" and touted the five points of Romney's plan to strengthen the middle class and foster an economic rebound by bolstering America's energy independence, giving adults and children the skills to succeed, cutting the federal deficit, championing small businesses, and creating a trade policy that works for America.
At times, the congressman had to speak over hoots and taunts from protesters, telling the crowd that Iowans and Wisconsinites "like to be respectful of one another and peaceful with one another and listen to each other" so he concluded the hecklers must not be from Iowa or Wisconsin.
Near the back of the crowd, a woman held up a sign that read: Hands off my Medicare, in apparent reference to a voucherlike system Ryan has proposed to reshape Medicare that he maintains are needed to preserve the system for future generations. Another woman tried to shield the sign from observers and TV cameras with a "Romney Believe in America" placard.
U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Waterloo, a House colleague who considers Ryan a friend, said the Wisconsin congressman "has very different ideas about how to deal with things like paying for Social Security, paying for Medicare and paying for education" that he expected would become "a focal point for many of the sharp differences that we're going to be talking about" during the 2012 campaign.
Sue Dvorsky, chairwoman of the Iowa Democratic Party, said Democrats welcome that debate.
"He's going to have to explain to these people why voucherizing and privatizing Medicare is a good thing," she said.
Dvorsky said the fact that Ryan and President Obama both were in Iowa this week points up the importance the state has in this election.
"The first place they send him after the split the team up is here. That's probably important," she said. "We are literally in the center of a state that's literally in the middle of the country and truly in the middle of this fight. I think it's very exciting."
U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley said Monday proved that Iowa is a battleground state and Ryan's visit was "to make sure that Obama doesn't get all the publicity from his trip across Iowa" but he didn't read too much into the throngs who gathered to greet the congressman. "I've been around too many presidential candidates that have a mob and they didn't win so that in and of itself doesn't solve the problem. But the fact that he's willing to do this speaks a lot about him that he's not going to take anything for granted," Grassley said.
"Oh my God" said one woman standing at a corn dog stand when she turned to see Ryan with a horde of media in tow.
"That's no way to see the fair," said another woman as law officers and campaign staff cleared a path for the congressman as he said hi to passers-by, signed an occasion autograph and shook some hands.
"I would like to get a hug from him," said Mary Sheldahl of West Des Moines. I got one from Mitt Romney. I got a handshake from him. I think that's the best I'm going to do today."
Gov. Terry Branstad, who greeted Ryan after his motorcade rolled into the fairgrounds, called Romney's vice presidential pick "a great choice."
Branstad had indicated he wanted to see a governor picked as the GOP running mate, but he told reporters Monday he thinks Ryan brings "a compliment to Romney that gives him some experience in the federal budgeting process that is going to be necessary in order to get our nation back on track financially."
The Iowa governor also told reporters he was not in the vice presidential discussion, saying "I've made it very clear that my love is of Iowa, and I ran for governor again because I want to get the state of Iowa back on track. I'm obviously very interest in new leadership in Washington, D.C., because with the highest federal taxes and the massive deficit I think we need new leadership to help us achieve the very ambitious goals we have at the state level."

"A serious upgrade in anti-doping efforts Top players should never have to ask to be tested more often as Roger Federer and Andy Murray did last year. Tennis was one of the early adopters of an anti-doping program in the 1990s, but the perception lingers that the sport is not attacking the threat aggressively enough. It's time for more money and resources. It's time for more blood testing — costly or not — in and out of competition; time to adopt the biological passport used in cycling and track and field to monitor baseline levels."

Gulf shrimp season opens
Traditional industry has new obstacles
The open gulf shrimp season began at half an hour past sunset Monday and closes Nov. 30. Unlike most of the shrimpers who had an early start, Miss Amie was scheduled to depart at 4 a.m. today. The delay allowed additional maintenance on the 53-foot vessel before its three-day stint in the gulf.
"This is the biggest day of shrimping and I want to make sure everything's working fine," said Nguyen, who has shrimped out of Aransas Pass for the past 20 years. "It should be a decent season, but the industry laws and high cost of fuel make it difficult to stay in the industry. We hope for lots of shrimp, but we hope more for a good price. That's harder to catch."
Nguyen is one of what Mark Fisher, science director for Texas Parks and Wildlife, said is an unknown number of mobile shrimpers left to harvest about 10 percent of the country's shrimp consumption. Most shrimp crop is grown in shrimp farms and imported into the country, he said.
"No matter how much they land, the price remains constant," Fisher said. "You can raise a dollar's worth of shrimp for 30 cents in a farm versus the dollar's worth of wild shrimp that costs you a dollar to catch. You have the high cost of marine diesel and the stagnant price of shrimp. It's a very tough economic condition for the shrimpers."
In 2004, Texas shrimpers harvested about 23 million pounds of brown shrimp worth about $69 million, Fisher said. The economic impact of the industry far exceeds that, he said, though the number of boats is dwindling.
In Texas, the price of shrimp and fuel is compounded by the unavailability of crew, said Ralph Rayburn, associate director of the Texas Sea Grants program at Texas A&M University.
"Shrimp boat helpers have to seek other employment to make their own livelihood," Rayburn said. "The entire situation really touches folks along the Coastal Bend. We're losing the boat going into the sunset. We're losing the traditional shrimping industry."
For Nguyen and his helper, fewer boats mean less competition and more opportunity to yield larger harvests.
"We can bring in about 25 100-pound boxes each trip," Nguyen said. "If we have a good price, we can keep bringing it in until the shrimp run out or the season ends. We'll have to wait and see what we catch."

The Star cuts seven jobs
The Ventura County Star cut seven jobs today, marking the first time the company has laid off employees as it struggles with a difficult economy and shrinking ad revenue.
The newspaper cut two positions in operations and production, four in circulation and one clerical position in accounting.
Publisher George H. Cogswell III said the paper's senior management team has spent the past five months looking at any opportunities to reduce costs without taking away from The Star's newsroom and advertising staffs. The team looked for positions that could be eliminated through new technology or operating differently. The company this year budgeted for the equivalent of about 350 positions.
"This is a painstakingly detailed, heartstring-pulling process. We do not take it lightly," Cogswell said. "It is a course of action we would never hope to go down. Laying folks off ... is a very difficult business decision."
Affected employees were notified on Friday and Monday. Cogswell sent a note about the layoffs to all employees Monday afternoon.
The seven workers, who were not identified because of privacy issues, will receive a severance package that provides compensation based on length of employment and medical benefits for three months. The average time the employees worked for the company was less than five years. The individuals worked out with their managers whether they would finish out this week.
Most of the newspaper industry has been struggling with shrinking advertising revenue. Print advertising in the third quarter was down 9 percent from the year before, according to the Newspaper Association of America. Classified advertising was down 17 percent from the previous year.
E.W. Scripps Co., parent company of The Star, is in the process of splitting its operations into two companies — one that handles newspapers and broadcast television stations, and one that handles the company's online ventures and cable television franchises such as HGTV and Food Network.
According to preliminary fourth quarter results, Scripps estimated that total newspaper revenue was down 9.6 percent to $165 million. Advertising revenue at newspapers managed solely by the company — those not in joint-operating agreements — was down 12 percent from a year ago at $131 million.
Scripps' stock rose 40 cents Monday to close at $42.71.
"There's been a trickle-down effect from a pretty devastating real estate market," Cogswell said. It has affected several areas of advertising, with real estate, jobs and automotive listings hit the hardest.
Cogswell said advertising at The Star was down about 15 percent when comparing 2007 to 2006.
"I don't think we've seen the bottom yet," Cogswell said. "We need to prepare ourselves. Things could get worse before they get better."
Even with a small number of cuts, it is a painful process, particularly for papers that have had a long tradition of rewarding people for years of service, said Rick Edmonds, media business analyst with The Poynter Institute.
Papers are taking many different approaches to savings these days.
"The cost-cutting climate is so urgent, many things are being looked at," he said.
He said some papers have outsourced some functions either to another company across town or a call center in another country. Some have outsourced ad production work, others have outsourced their printing.
Edmonds noted it becomes a balance of cutting costs and still putting out a paper people want to read.
"There's some sense it's potentially dangerous to go too far with newsroom cuts," he said. And there's a similar incentive to protect advertising sales.
That doesn't mean that all papers are avoiding such cuts.
Last week, Tribune Co., now owned by billionare Sam Zell, announced it plans to cut about 400 to 500 jobs across the organization, including some newsroom jobs. The New York Times also announced last week it was cutting about 100 newsroom jobs.
At The Star, the first cost cuts that directly affected personnel were voluntary buyouts offered in April to 22 employees in various departments. Nine employees took the buyouts. The paper also outsourced its print advertising design department.
"There are no plans to further reduce the work force as it relates to our core product," Cogswell said.
He said the paper is creating target market opportunities with niche publications in print and online that will start to launch in the coming months and bring in new revenue. He wants to return the paper to a growing business and eventually adding jobs.

I don't know if the blonde wig Lily Allen wore out on the town last night was supposed to throw off the paparazzi, or if she was just trying to rock a Chrissy Snow of "Three's Company'" vibe. Regardless, I'm a bit confused.
If she was attempting to go incognito, nice try! Allen hit up celeb haunt Nobu in London's ritzy Mayfair neighborhood with none other than her ex, one of the Chemical Brothers.
But let's say it was purely a style thing she was going for, well, she's already proven that she looks good in every hair color (from black to bright pink), few can say the same. So why not just bite the bullet, bust out the bleach and lose the costume shop wig?
In either case, Allen looked hot, so mission accomplished, I guess.
Leave a comment telling us what do you think of Lily Allen's blonde locks?

If you are interested in having your institution approved for veterans training please follow the guidelines below:
Initially, two main criteria must be met:
1. Your institution must be licensed/authorized by the appropriate state, regional, or federal agency; and
2. If your institution is private profit or non-profit, and the training does not lead to a standard college degree, Public Law 104-275 requires that the institution and program for which approval is requested must have operated continuously for a period of two years before approval may be granted
If your institution meets the above criteria, simply send us a letter requesting approval for veterans training. If the type of training offered is not obvious from the school or business title, please provide a brief description of the training. When we receive the written inquiry, we will contact you and mail/email an application packet requesting catalogs and other data on your institution. Expect to receive the application packet approximately two weeks after you send your letter.
When you receive our application packet, please provide all of the data requested. If you have questions, please contact us for clarification. Please ensure you provide us two (2) copies of your institution's catalog, brochures, student handbook, etc.
We will also call and set up a mutually agreeable time for an on-site visit. This visit serves as an inspection of the premises and a review of all application/approval procedures. We will discuss VA student record keeping requirements during the visit, and address any questions you have about the approval process.
After reviewing your application, completing the site inspection, and assuming all approval/compliance requirements are met, we will send you a letter approving your institution for veterans training and forward our approval package to the VA for their acceptance. Once accepted, you will receive notice from the VA that the school has been accepted and that you may begin certifying veteran students for GI Bill payments.
This approval process generally takes 60-90 days. If there are eligible veteran students enrolled when you apply, please make us aware of that, and of the date the veteran(s) started training. However, please remember that no veteran student may be certified for payment of GI Bill benefits until we have approved your institution, and VA has accepted the approval.
Following the initial approval, when you publish new catalogs, or significantly change an existing catalog, you must submit an update of your institutional catalogs along with a catalog approval packet. Any questions please contact us. You may download a catalog approval packet for your type of school by choosing the appropriate link at the bottom of this article. Also, once approved, if you have had veterans enrolled for the federal fiscal year (October-September), either our office or VA will make a compliance visit to your school to review selected veterans' records. If you have not had veterans enrolled that fiscal year, we will not normally conduct a compliance visit.
Any changes to institutional programs or policies must be reported to the State Approving Agency by letter. Failure to do so could result in suspension of approval and the interruption of GI Bill payments to your veterans. If you have any questions at any time please contact us at email@example.com , (615) 741-7569 or firstname.lastname@example.com, (615) 741-3606.

Norn Iron Tees – Wile good T-shirts so they are hi!
Sweet to the beat. Just got myself a new pair of gutties and they are deadly, hi. Happy days! You know what I mean like?
In case you didn't recognise it that was some of the 'local spake' which has now been immortalised in T-shirt form thanks to Omagh designer Rhoda McClure and her online clothing business – Norn Iron Tees.
The 36-year-old former Omagh Academy pupil takes everyday colloquial sayings and slogans and turns them into amusing pieces of clothing.
The concept started six years ago while Rhoda was working in England, when she heard a barman use the phrase 'stickin out'.
This got the creative juices flowing and the designer came up with her first Norn Iron Tee.
The success of the 'Stickin' Out' T-shirt – using a phrase I personally had never heard before – meant that within a period of just six months Rhoda was in a position to hand in her notice as a marketing and design manager and set up Norn Iron Tees as a full-time business. This also allowed her to move back home two years ago.
Her range soon expanded and now includes about 300 colloquialisms emblazoned over a variety of T-shirts, hoodies, aprons, bags, unisex pants and gifts for men, women and kids.
However, it was one T-shirt in particular made famous by YouTube phenomenon Barry 'The Blender' Henderson' which helped catapult Norn Iron Tees into the next stratosphere.
Viewed by thousands online over the past few years, the 'Gutties' T-shirt helped boost the ever-expanding business.
"His (Barry's) uncle actually bought it for him as a present and I got quite a few sales out of that with so many people seeing it on YouTube," said Rhoda. "Over the years the Gutties T-shirt has been the most popular and that has to be as a result of Barry the Blender."
As well as capturing long-standing phrases that have been passed down through generations, Rhoda prides herself on being innovative and responding to topical breaking stories.
Most recently this has been evident through her latest release – 'Fleg Wars' in the design of Star Wars in reaction to the union flag protests.
The other is 'Horse it inty ye' in honour of the horsemeat in your burger and the sugar in your tea, horse her inty ye Cynthia for she's the girl for me. Sorry I am getting a bit carried away with all this Norn Iron spake.
Looking back on her whirlwind journey in this surprising change of careers, Rhoda explained, "In 2007 I was living and working in Huddersfield after studying art and getting a degree in product design. I had a friend who ran a T-shirt business who was like my guru. I had one T-shirt design (Stickin' Out) and was getting really good feedback. English people would come up and ask what it meant, while you also got the odd comment from Northern Irish people who knew what it was.
"I set up the website, just for a bit of a laugh really to see how it went and it all grew from there. I found that I was selling so many I could leave my job and concentrate on it full-time which was good for me as I was looking to branch out on my own."
Continuing to build up her range, Rhoda said she is continually getting suggestions and is always open to new ideas. She said she has tried to cover as many areas of 'Norn Ireland' as possible.
Rhoda continued, "Customers come and tell me slogans that I have never heard before. At Christmas a guy from Dungannon told me I had to create a 'Leg-end' one but I had never heard that even though I'm from Tyrone. There really is different catchment area for sales as some mean more in certain towns and counties."
While 70 per-cent of sales are at home in Northern Ireland, Rhoda said her range of T-shirts are becoming really popular with ex-pats in places like Australia and Canada.
Although she has been running the business for six years and has sold thousands of T-shirts all around the world, Rhoda said she still gets a huge buzz of excitement when she sees someone wearing one of her creations.
She said, "I walked into a pub a month or so ago and saw a guy wearing a Gutties T-shirt and it took everything I had not to run up to him and tell him where it came from.
"One of the good things about the T-shirts is that they are a talking point – if someone doesn't know what it means, you can get chatting to them and explain it.
"If they are from here, they will automatically know why the T-shirt is funny, no matter where in the world you might happen to bump into a fellow Northern Irish person."
Rhoda's designs can be found at www.nornirontees.com

Random Encounter - Pigeon Love Manga Madness
Danny slides ever deeper into pigeon fueled madness as we return to Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star.
by Danny O'Dwyer on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Join us on a nostalgia-fueled journey as we uncover lost gems, take on tough gaming challenges, and wonder if the world needs a pigeon dating sim. Expect irreverence and a healthy dose of frustration. In Random Encounter, every day is a fail day!
Schedule: Wednesdays at 11am PT
Host: Danny O'Dwyer
You NEED to finish up the next few chapters. I demand it!
Goodness me. Poor you Danny.
WHAT THE DOVE is this ?!?!
Hallucinogenic Filipino dove powers?? I love it! I'm Filipino! But this game is totally on drugs! Hahahaha!
Man from Half-life 2 to this crazy nonsense, are you trying to like "drowning" youself, Danny?
This was some great shit Danny good job!
Ah, Arseface
Lol. This is my favorite game on random encounter. I have never laughed so hard. Where can I download this piece of crap!
I hurt my back earlier today and spent the rest of the day resting it. While I was watching this video, I laughed so hard that I re-tweaked the same spot. Subsequently, I am typing this in agony. It was so worth it, though. The agony is appropriate penance for such raucous laughter.
Someone please call the police. That game just raped my sanity.
My nationality's just scarred. I never imagined hallucinogenic filipino dove powers will be involved in this sanity snatching game.
What the fuckin hell just happened?
I'm just gana schedule my self a therapist now to regain some sanity ive lost....
First of all WTF...who decided these games needed to be unleashed on the public???
Secondly, Danny, don't act like you didn't know what you were getting yourself into...
My sanity is just gone ... just fking gone!
Ah this game just gets better and better. Definitely need to wait a month though.
I would be quite content if Random Counter featured nothing but Hatoful Boyfriend from here on out. Hilarious!!!
Oh my god, what an epic game. GOTY title is yours Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star!
Hey Danny, you know I've enjoyed a lot of your work on Gamespot, but I think the Pigeon thing is getting a bit worn out. It's just too mental and far-fetched for my tastes. And that's coming from someone who loved your work with Envirobear 2000.
Either the creators of this game are dumb as Hell or the rest of the World is too stupid to understand this. Either of them, I'm having a blast with the voice acting. Danny, you're awesome!
He says he hates it...but deep down, he secretly enjoys it.
Why are you doing this game again?
I'm so confused
At first I thought this game was a practical joke....because no one would make this unless they were either on drugs or having a laugh.....then I realized it must be the greatest game of all time!
Danny, if you don't do the other chapters next week I won't have any stories to read my children at bed time. You must do it. Think of the children.
What did I just witness? GOTY contender?
absolutely horrible
please don't do another pigeon love video> not in one month, not ever.
Jesus. I'm not a big Phil Fish fan, but I am beginning to see why he said Japanese games are shit.
So Danny, HOW is your SANITY after playing that game? :P
I'm going to get "Coore Grey" tattooed on my chest, with 2 pigeons flanking either side of the text.
The pigeons' eyes will be my nipples.
Then I'll spray paint my balls to look like the tank towards the end of this episode...
The above would only be a physical representation of just how bat-shit crazy this game appears to be.
Danny's going to need copious amounts of hard liquor after this one.
Danny, you got real loopy there. I didn't know there would be more pigeons. I'm so sorry you have to play this game. The first episode was madness - now your in another dimension of madness. I say, burn this game to kill the demons.
danny u must take pleasure in pain :D
tHE MAdNESS, Y E S ! ! !
Danny may just go insane if we have him do the next two next week. Look what two in one week did to him already....
this is a better mindfuck than bioshock infinite's ending.
Where are the robot pigeons? this is Japan!
Stop torturing yourself danny.
Oh god that was even more mental than usual. I can honestly say it seemed like too much. XD Though I do love the ridiculous magical girl stuff idea lol. As for when you should do the next one, well I've been trying to catch Random Encounter live this week for the first time ever, but haven't been able to do it... And I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks starting tomorrow. So in a month would be great for me! I just want to see you do this live, Danny! XD
No but seriously, I went to the twitch tv channel at the appropiate time, I think. But I had to convert timezones, so maybe that's the issue. If anyone could tell me on which days and on what time Random Encounter starts, it would be great! I live +1 GMT.
Oh man... After taking a long moment to reflect on what I've just witnessed, all I can say is well done, Danny. Well done, you brave, poor bastard! ; ))
Pretty Coore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After watching the highlights of the first chapter and now this one this has to be one of the most random bizarre games I've ever seen. There was a movie about a book that mad anyone who read it crazy, I'm beginning to think this game is the equivalent of that book.
Xanax would be good now.
I hope Danny gets paid a lot...
omg wtf
my god, that was bloody hilarious >_<
What a strange game. It's horrible yet weird enough to draw us in. Your funny commentary helps a lot of course. If you do decide to take a break from Hatoful Boyfriend, I recommend you play Electronic Super Joy. It's been described as: "The Unholy merging of Super Meat Boy & Super Hexagon!" Anyway, thanks for these funny videos. Cheers.
you do a spot on Revolver Ocelot voice
And that movie was: In the Mouth of Madness
Decent movie, but wacky as all hell once you get to the halfway point.
@matticles @wwlettsome Very true. Kind of a guilty pleasure.

Texas Presbytery organized at Sumner Bacon's home
On this day in 1837, pioneer Cumberland Presbyterian ministers Sumner Bacon, Amos Roark, and Mitchell Smith began the Texas Presbytery at Bacon's home. Bacon, born in Massachusetts in 1790, traveled as a young man to Arkansas, where he was converted at a Cumberland revival meeting and decided to become a minister. Because he lacked even a basic grasp of grammar and spelling, the Cumberland Presbytery of Arkansas asked him to spend two years improving his education before applying for a license to preach, but he went instead to Texas as a freelance itinerant evangelist in 1829. Since Catholicism was the legally required religion of the territory, Bacon did his preaching surreptitiously. In 1833, the American Bible Society commissioned Bacon as its first regular agent in Texas. In the summer of 1836 he organized the first Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Texas near San Augustine. Due to poor health, Bacon's leadership in church activities diminished after 1837, although he did serve as the first moderator of the Cumberland Synod of Texas in 1843. He died in 1844. Although Bacon was not the first Protestant to preach in Texas, evidence indicates that he was the first resident Protestant evangelist to maintain a continuous ministry in the new territory.

Oils and fats constantly declined over the review period; in 2013 sales are expected to be only 88% of the volume sales seen in 2008. The explanation for this may be the general perception of fats as not being healthy ingredients, resulting in consumers trying to cut such products from their diets. To offset this, manufacturers replaced part of their product portfolios with functional or "light" versions. Up until now, this has not helped to stop the decline in sales.
The competitive landscape in oils and fats is expected to remain unchanged in 2013, despite the fact that the two leading players are expected to see slight declines in their value shares. The leading player in oils and fats, Zvijezda, is
