I changed the way of blogging, developing, designing and assisting my customers. Re-designed the site and started using the latest Windows Live Writer!! Additionally added Microsoft Translator gadget available @ top of page, so that you can change the page in your preferred language!!
Recently I was assisting an developer who used Outlook Object Model (OOM) API and tried to get the SMTP address of the Sender of a given mail item. In order to get the values, he first made the following OOM call – it worked fine for him for couple of mail items, but fails to get the SMTP value as given below:
1: mailItem.Recipients[i].Address
In this scenario, to determine the SMTP address for a mail item, you can use the SenderEmailAddress property of the MailItem object. However, if the sender is internal to your organization, SenderEmailAddress does not return an SMTP address, and you must use the PropertyAccessor object to return the sender's SMTP address (adding the related C#.Net code for your reference).
1: private string GetSMTPAddress(Outlook.MailItem mail)
2: {
3: string PR_SMTP_ADDRESS = @"http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x39FE001E";
4: if (mail.SenderEmailType == "EX")
5: {
6: Outlook.AddressEntry sender =
7: mail.Sender;
8: if (sender != null)
9: {
10: //Now we have an AddressEntry representing the Sender
11: if (sender.AddressEntryUserType == Outlook.OlAddressEntryUserType.olExchangeUserAddressEntry
12: || sender.AddressEntryUserType == Outlook.OlAddressEntryUserType.olExchangeRemoteUserAddressEntry)
13: {
14: //Use the ExchangeUser object PrimarySMTPAddress
15: Outlook.ExchangeUser exchUser = sender.GetExchangeUser();
16: if (exchUser != null)
17: {
18: return exchUser.PrimarySmtpAddress;
19: }
20: else
21: {
22: return null;
23: }
24: }
25: else
26: {
27: return sender.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty(PR_SMTP_ADDRESS) as string;
28: }
29: }
30: else
31: {
32: return null;
33: }
34: }
35: else
36: {
37: return mail.SenderEmailAddress;
38: }
39: }
This will help you to move ahead and get the correct SMTP address:
Happy Programming!!
Recently I was working with a customer (at his Windows XP) where his CDO app (CDOSEND.vbs – given below) is failing to send email and throws the error "CDO_E_FAILED_TO_CONNECT" (you can refer the below given Output also).

Recently I was playing for a VSS issue at my Exchange Server 2010 environment – when I run the ESEUtil (with its parameter /mh) command then I got the error "Jet error –1032".
> eseutil /mh "D:\Temp\tempdb.edb" Extensible Storage Engine Utilities for Microsoft(R) Exchange Server Version 14.00 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Initiating FILE DUMP mode... Error: Access to source database 'D:\Temp\tempdb.edb' failed with Jet error -1032. The error code –1032 points to JET_ERRFileAccessDenied, which tells us that I cannot access the file, as the file is locked or in use. This is the first time I noticed the issue at my end. When I investigated further I realized the issue - I have mounted the database and ran the ESEUtil. The database needs to be offline to read the header information. So I dismounted the database and ran the ESEUtil worked like a charm – bingo!! Happy debugging!!

Recently one of my developer customer pointed out that he used Extra.exe as part of troubleshoot performance issues at his Exchange Server 2010 environment. But he noticed that Extra.exe doesn't work or collect the data as expected. During investigation I noticed that they were running it under the scheduled task. Based on investigation, they updated to Exchange Server 2010 SP2 Update Rollup 5 version 2 which resolved the issue.
Developers love code samples, but they have been sitting in front of desktop for too long. A Sample Browser app can give them some time to sit relaxingly in a sofa and continue to learn the beloved code samples. The Sample Browser gives developers a new experience to search, download, learn, and share thousands of code samples. The large sample repository includes Microsoft official code samples for Windows Store apps, over 1200 Microsoft All-In-One Code Framework samples driven by developers' real-world pains and needs, and various product samples and community samples. So now you can download them as wish, either to your Windows 8/RT device or Windows Traditional desktop: Windows 8 app: Download the Windows 8 app for your Windows 8 or Windows RT device it gives developers a new experience to search, download, learn, share and request code samples. Swipe and search and share - It's that easy! The app also supports the offline mode, so you can learn code samples anytime, anywhere. Traditional desktop: Download Sample browser for traditional desktop, this will be very useful when you are using Visual Studio Express. Adding few screenshots for your view:
Recently I was working with one of the developer who earlier designed an CDOSYS based mail component in his C++ application built using earlier Visual Studio (2005) version . After migration to VS 2008 environment, they noticed compile errors with the same code/no changes made. When I debugged further and noticed that the msado15.tlh and cdosys.tlh are not generated correctly for some reasons. When I compared the .tlh file generated by previous VS version, i noticed differences in it – as couple of keywords are missing in method definitions in the .tlh file generated by VS previous versions. That's the reason, they noticed the compile time/linker errors.
The generation of .tlh files is affected by some codes in this project, which is compiled earlier than the import sentences. So i moved the import sentences to the very beginning of stdafx.h and used #import attribute "rename" to avoid any name collusion problems.
#import "c:/program files/common files/system/ado/msado15.dll" rename("ADODB","CDO") rename( "EOF", "adoEOF" )
#import <cdosys.dll>
After the above changes, I can successfully compile it without any errors. It helped them to move ahead.
Happy debugging!!
In this post, we will see how to programmatically filter/restrict items "To" property. Let we take this scenario. In Outlook, we notice it contains 6 items "To" property containing "Deva G":
Note:In specifying a filter in a Jet or DASL query, if you use a pair of single quotes to delimit a string that is part of the filter, and the string contains another single quote or apostrophe, then add a single quote as an escape character before the single quote or apostrophe. Use a similar approach if you use a pair of double quotes to delimit a string. If the string contains a double quote, then add a double quote as an escape character before the double quote. For example, in the DASL filter string that filters for the Subject property being equal to the word can't, the entire filter string is delimited by a pair of double quotes, and the embedded string can't is delimited by a pair of single quotes. There are three characters that you need to escape in this filter string: the starting double quote and the ending double quote for the property reference of http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x0037001f, and the apostrophe in the value condition for the word can't. Applying the appropriate escape characters, you can express the filter string as follows:
filter = "@SQL=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x0037001f"" = 'can''t'"
Alternatively, you can use the chr(34) function to represent the double quote (whose ASCII character value is 34) that is used as an escape character. Using the chr(34) substitution for a double-quote escape character, you can express the last example as follows:
filter = "@SQL= " & Chr(34) & "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x0037001f" & Chr(34) & " = " & "'can''t'"
& Chr(34) & " = " & "'can''t'"
For this above test, first we need to get the property reference for "to" so that we can create DASL Filter for it. For this, you can make use of latest MFC MAPI and get the same using its Property Editor. I am making use of Outlook Object Model (OOM) API to filter/restrict "To" field items containing "Deva G". In order to do that, you can make use of Items.Restrict method provided in OOM along with the Filter that you want to apply. The Restrict method is significantly faster if there is a large number of items in the collection, especially if only a few items in a large collection are expected to be found.
Filter = "@SQL= " & Chr(34) & "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x0E04001E" & Chr(34) & " = " & "'Deva G'"
Using the above filter, we can build the code using Items.Restrict method – enclosing the Outlook VBA sample for your reference:
'Using Items.Restrict
Public Sub RestrictFilter()
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myItems As Outlook.Items
Dim currentItem As Outlook.Items
Dim Filter As String
Dim i As Integer
Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myItems = myNameSpace.PickFolder.Items
Set currentItem = myItems.Restrict(Filter)
For i = currentItem.Count To 1 Step -1
Debug.Print currentItem(i).Subject
End Sub
When you execute the code, you can retrieve the filtered item's "subject" property values(PR_SUBJECT)….
You can give a try and let me know how it goes…. Happy programming!!

Recently I tried joining my Windows Server 2008 R2 with the targeted domain controller (as part of new Exchange install), but it thrown the following error:
In order to move ahead, I tried the following step to move ahead… Try temporarily setting the IP address of domain controller as your first DNS server or Preferred DNS Server, join the domain (later you can change the DNS Server setting back). Here it goes: Step 1: In Windows Server 2008 R2 > View Network Connections > Network Connection > Active Connection > Properties > Internet Protocol Version (TCP/IPv4) > Preferred DNS Server > Update the IP address of primary domain controller > OK Step 2: Now try join your domain. (In addition, after successful joining domain, I change DNS servers back to earlier). It made the trick. Enjoy!!

One of my customer reported that they created a ATL Project/MFC CDHtmlDialog based C++ application and they notice the following errors in afxdhtml.h (they created it using VS 2003).
afxdhtml.h(272) : error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';' afxdhtml.h(289) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier '_ATL_FUNC_INFO' afxdhtml.h(290) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier '_ATL_FUNC_INFO'
I tried the code piece at my end locally and tested with latest visual studio – I failed to see the issue and it just works for me. Later I done further research on this and found the following:
The #include <afxdhtml.h> directive is placed in the stdafx.h pre-compiled header file before the "using namespace ATL;" directive, and the #define _ATL_NO_AUTOMATIC_NAMESPACE was given previously. Thus, the symbols in the header file which belong to the ATL namespace are not properly resolved. When adding a class from the MFC dialog class wizard, you are given the choice of several dialog base classes, most of which do not require the ATL namespace "using" directive. Thus, the wizard script in default.htm doesn't make any attempt to ensure that the header file corresponding to the class name come after a using directive.
In Visual Studio 2005 and later versions, the problem doesn't occur because all references to CComPtr are now prefixed with ::ATL::, alleviating the need to either direct "using namespace ATL;" or to define the macro to eliminate the automatic use of the ATL namespace. So I recommended them to try one of the following to move ahead: • Remove the #define _ATL_NO_AUTOMATIC_NAMESPACE directive from the stdafx.h header, or • Move the using namespace ATL; directive before the #include <afxdhtml.h> • Upgrade to Visual Studio 2005 and above. Also make sure they're fully patched with latest service pack/fixes.
Here is a developer article published "how to build/write an Exchange Server 2013 based transport agent?" in a detailed fashion about a sample transport Agent to illustrate various Exchange 2013 transport agent functionality as well as stripping all the hyperlinks from the message body. The article also talks starting from what's a transport agent, changes to Exchange Server 2013 environment – transport agent management, setting up the environment etc . They too published the code base here. You can try this out and make use of the same. Enjoy!!

Recently one of my customer reported that Outlook is not showing latest free/busy information for selected users. Initially they tried the following steps for the affected users: Exit Outlook Open Command prompt > Open Outlook with cleanfreebusy switch (outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy) It failed to resolve the issue. During troubleshooting we noticed that these issue may occur because a mailbox property does not correctly reference a hidden message in the mailbox, which is related to free/busy publishing. We tried the below steps for the affected user to re-generate free/busy information: Exit Outlook. Make sure that the profile is in online mode. You can change this or create new one using Mail item in Control Panel. Download latest MFC MAPI editor (http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com) Start the MFCMAPI.exe > click OK. On the Session menu, click Logon. In the Profile Name list, select the profile for the mailbox, and then click OK. Double-click the Mailbox Store. In the navigation pane, click Root Container. In the details pane, right-click PR_FREEBUSY_ENTRYIDS, click Delete Property, and then click OK. In the navigation pane, expand Root Container, expand Top of Information Store, and then click Inbox. In the details pane, right-click PR_FREEBUSY_ENTRYIDS, click Delete Property, and then click OK. In the Information Store: Inbox dialog box, click Exit on the File menu. Exit MFC MAPI. Finally at Windows, you should click Start, click Run, type outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy, and then press ENTER – this will regenerate the free/busy information for that specific user mailbox. Hope this helps.

Type of Change
Reason for Change
Additional Information
Outlook Meeting Workspaces
Feature Removed
The Meeting workspaces feature is removed from Outlook. The entry point commands to create Meeting Workspaces is removed from both the Quick Access Toolbar and the Ribbon.
The feature was not widely used.
Allows for a simpler Ribbon experience.
For the feature description, see Use Meeting Workspaces to organize meetings
Outlook Exchange Classic offline
Offline mode is being removed from Outlook.
Offline mode is a legacy data access method for online mode connections to Exchange Server.
Remove /Cleanfreebusy switch and code
Users can no longer start Outlook by using the /cleanfreebusy switch. If they try this, they will receive the following message: "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. The command line argument is not valid. Verify the switch you are using."
Because of the removal of the Public Folder Free/Busy feature, this switch is no longer needed.
Command Bars object model (OM)
The Command Bars OM is being changed so that built-in Command Bar objects cannot be accessed through programming.
Command bars are not used in Outlook 2013. Therefore, add-ins that use the Command Bars OM are not required.
Use the IRibbonExtensibility interface in an Outlook 2013 add-in instead of command bars. You can't customize Inspector ribbons by using VBScript code behind forms.
Updating Earlier Code for CommandBars
For more information about how to use IRibbonExtensibility to customize the Outlook 2013 user interface programmatically, see Extending the User Interface in Outlook 2010.
Outlook Direct Booking
Direct booking of resources in the calendar no longer exists.
This functionality is outdated and is superseded by the Exchange Availability service and free/busy for resources.
More reliable service.
Mailboxes that are currently configured to use Outlook direct booking should be migrated to Exchange 2007 or Exchange Server 2010 resource mailboxes.
Exchange 2007 and Exchange Server 2010 resource mailboxes provide a better range of features. These mailboxes also provide server-side administration by using the Exchange Management Shell or the Exchange Management Console to simplify resource mailbox management.
Import/Export to Applications
Removing specific file-format support from the Import/Export wizard in Outlook
The ability to import/export Outlook data to legacy file formats.
The following legacy formats were removed from the Import/Export Wizard: Internet Mail Account Settings, Internet Mail and Addresses, Comma Separated Values (DOS), Access 97-2003, Excel 97-2003, Tab Separated Values (DOS), Tab Separated Values (Windows), ACT!, Contact Manager, Lotus Organizer, Outlook Express/Windows Mail, Personal Address Book.
Import/Export to the PST and CSV formats is still a supported option.

Contact linking is replaced by the Outlook Social Connector and the New Person Card.
Outlook Activities tab
The Activities tab on contact forms is not available for Outlook 2013. The Activities tab used to aggregate all Outlook items (e-mail, meetings, tasks, and so on) associated with a contact.
The Activities tab is replaced by the Outlook Social Connector and displays in the People pane.
Outlook Mobile Service (OMS)
Support for the Outlook Mobile Service protocol, which is used for sending and receiving text messages from Outlook, is being removed.
Feature has low usage.
No user benefit.
Suggested Contacts
Suggested Contacts was used to automatically keep track of everyone the user sends a message to, but who isn't in Outlook contacts.
In a clean Outlook 2013 installation, Suggested Contacts is no longer available, the folder never is created, and no suggested contact items are created. In an upgrade to Outlook 2013, this folder is visible, and participates in linking, aggregation and search. However, no new suggested contact items are added to the folder. The folder displays in an upgrade scenario. However, it can now be deleted.
Outlook Pubcal: Calendar Publishing
Removing the ability to publish one's calendar to Office.com.
Users in Exchange Server environments can use Exchange Calendar Publishing.
Non-Exchange users can use a service such as Hotmail to share calendars.

UDP is removed. In earlier versions of Outlook the feature was used for new mail alert results and for folder updates.
The UDP functionality that was provided by UDP is replaced with an asynchronous notification method.
Preview unread messages
The Auto Preview feature to preview unread items is removed. It remains possible to configure Message Preview for one, two, and three lines.
Outlook categories quick click
Categories quick click from the message list is removed. Categories are displayed when they are applied in Office 2013 by right-clicking or using Ribbon buttons.
Low usage. This feature was used by around 1% of users.
Apply categories by choosing from the short-cut menus (right clicking) or by choosing Ribbon buttons.
Outlook Search through Windows Shell
Office and Windows
In Office 2013, Outlook items do not display in Windows Shell searches (for example, searches from the Start Menu or by using Win+F). Perform Office searches within Office 2013.
Search Office items within the Office application.
When Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010 is running and installed side-by-side with Outlook 2013, Outlook shows the following message when you click Send To > Mail Recipient in Windows Explorer or click File > Send As Attachment in another program: This action is not supported while an older version of Outlook is running
In order to move ahead, you can try the following workaround: First, close the earlier version of Outlook, and repeat your steps. Or create a new email message in Outlook and click Insert > Attach File to attach the file. Viola, it just works!!

- My iBall wp8060 work really well in normal model. But when I try to run photoshop in administrator mode the digital tablet can only draw straight lines. I have to click somewhere and then let go somewhere else to get a straight line like how you draw straight line holding shift. I cant run some custom scripts in normal mode. Im using photoshop cs6. Again, it works fine when Im not running it in administrator mode.
Answer by Nahum
Why do you need to run Photoshop as administrator?
Your drivers dont have the same OS privileges as elevated Photoshop. You would have to restart the tablet driver with admin privileges as well.
I came across this trying to play a game on Windows 7 that was designed for Windows XP. Both the game and my mouse control panel had to run as administrator. Without elevating the mouse driver, I couldnt use any of the mouses extra buttons.

If I get the munchies and start craving the sweets, I head for sugar free gum. It takes care of the chewing motion and the hint of sweet in the gum satisfies the sweet craving. When all the flavor is gone, my jaw got a workout, and I no longer crave sweets.
When I feel like I want something sweet, I chew some sugar free gum and that will usually take my craving away.
Chew gum when you want sweet but don't want or need to eat.
When you're craving those salty or sweet snacks, chew on a piece of gum...it will help ward off those cravings!

PAW PAW: Traditional Breakfast
This restaurant is next to the Bus/Coach Station and years ago it was the Midland Red canteen. Because of its history I always thought it was just a greasey spoon and never used it. So I thought I would give it a try for a breakfast to discover it is a very smart restaurant with waiter service. The word is service. There are attentive staff, who smile, who give the impression they really like their job, quick service, freshly cooked food, the dishes cleared as soon as you have finished. You will not find better service in Banbury. The breakfasts are a traditional British fry up affair with hugh portions. My next move is to try it out in the Chinese Restaurant in the evening. THE RESTAURANT HAS NOW STOPPED ITS BREAKFAST SERVICE AND IS ONLY OPEN IN THE EVENINGS.
Favorite Dish: Bacon Sandwiches, which have about 3 rashers of thick bacon with a large cup of tea.
Toby Carvery: Excellent Value
I have been out to the Toby Cavery numerous times to partake of their carvery. I have to say I have never been disappointed. There are a number of meat choices with yorkshire pudding and different vegetables in season. You can help yourself to as many helpings of vegetables and yorkshire pudding as you want, though I always fill full the first time around. It is well cooked as you would expect with fairly simple menu. There are frequent internet offer vouchers for 2 mains & 2 ice creams for £12.50 which is excellent value for money. For those who do not fancy the carvery there are other choices including a vegetarian option.
The Toby Cavery has now branched out into opening for an all you can eat breakfast buffet from 7am to 11 am. Even better news, if you search on the internet there are frequent offers. At the moment a full english breakfast is £3.99 and you can help yourself to as much as you want.
The Top Wok: All you can eat buffet
The Top Wok is a Chinese Restaurant in Banbury, with a wide range buffet menu of starters, main course, vegetarian and desserts. A lunch Monday to Saturday 12noon to 2.30pm costs £7.50 for as much as you can eat. Drinks cost extra. The only service is to bring drinks and clear dishes. I have eaten here a number of times and the staff are friendly and helpful. Its ideal for lunch being a buffet because the food is available straight away. It costs more to eat at the restaurant during the evening but there is more food selection available. The Top Wok now provides a delivery service to your home or hotel.
Favorite Dish: The Peking spare ribs are certainly worth a try.

Chandlers: Friendly Service
Chandler's is one of my favourite places to meet family for a chat over a coffee during the day. They serve baugettes. ciabattas, sandwiches, quiche, salads & jacket potatoes. Everything is freshly made and you can order it the way you want it. They also sells cakes and crisps. You can eat in or take out and its non smoking.
Favorite Dish: One of my favorites is a salad box with a cheese, leek and onion topping which I take back to work when I'm in a hurry.
Bagel Bite: Freshly Made Bagels
Bagel Bite is new to Banbury. It offers a choice of freshly prepared bagels, ciabattas and baguettes. It is a take away but allows you to sit down inside, and outside during the summer at no extra cost. Its good for people watching during market days on Thursday & Saturdays. Its also housed in one of the local historical buildings. UNFORTUNATELY THIS SHOP HAS NOW CEASED TRADING.
Favorite Dish: A tuna bagel with salad.
Druckers Vienna Patisserie: Cream Cake Heaven
I have used Druckers Vienna Patisserie a few times. It does excellent coffees and cream cakes, which go hand in hand, though the cakes are slightly expensive. The baguettes are already made up, which is a disappointment. Most people tend to sit at the front, which is handy for people watching.
Favorite Dish: Chocolate eclairs and cream meringues.
The Granary: Traditional Breakfast
The Granary, unlike some of the other restaurants in Banbury has space to move around. They provide a large traditional english breakfast in the mornings. Salads and a number of other dishes at lunch time, including snacks. In the afternoons there are a variety of different cakes. The restaurant is open 7 days a week and gets really busy on a Saturday. There are seats outside for those who wish to brave the weather.
Favorite Dish: The full breakfast its more than enough eat.
The Exchange: Inexpensive Breakfast
The Exchange was rebuilt in 1936 and was the main post office in Banbury. At the side of the building was the local telephone exchange hence the name. With the growth of Banbury in the 1960-70's a new telephone exchange was built in a different part of the town and the post office was moved down the High Street a few years later.
It has become a bit of a tradition at work when working on a Saturday morning to go out for a cooked English breakfast. So the first time I went to the Exchange with my work partner, the sight of 30 men at 10am in the morning stood around drinking pints was off putting so we walked straight out again. Fortunately we were told that in fact we did not have to eat our breakfast with the drinkers as there is an area to the right just inside the door that tends to be used by dinners. So we tried it again and I was impressed. At £2.49 it was a good sized meal and breakfast is served until 12noon. For £3.69 you can almost double the size of the meal. The Exchange is owned by a well known pub group and it has establishments in most parts of the country serving exactly the same meals. So if you want a good scoff to keep you going and you don't want to pay over the top prices it's worth a try.
The Cromwell Lodge: Surprise lunch
I thought I would try out a family lunch for four at the Cromwell Lodge. I have been there before but only for a quick lunch which was works 'thing'. There are different areas to eat and besides being a restaurant its main business is a hotel. I was going to try the 3 course fixed menu but in the end I only had two courses and a different dessert. I started with the breaded garlic mushrooms and they were as good as other restaurants I have been to. I had fish, chips and mushy peas for the main. It was well cooked and a reasonable sized portion. I finished with the summer pudding and custard, which again was very tasty. We also had a bottle of prosecco to accompany the meal. The service was good, the staff very friendly and pleasant. We have already decided that we will return again as it was a very nice meal and good value.
Thai Orchid: Thai Food
Before it was a restaurant, the Thai Orchid was a green grocers and a small garden centre. Unfortunately the supermarket is now king and lots of these type of shops have been consigned to history. I have only eaten food at the Thai Orchid at lunchtimes. The food is not overly spicy and there is a large variety of different dishes to try if you opt for the buffet. The waiting staff are extremely attentive and quickly clear away dirty dishes. They also ensure that you have enough liquid refreshment. The meal can be topped off with a number of different deserts.
The New Inn: Countryside Inn
Four of us went to the New Inn on a Sunday lunchtime to try out the restaurant. We were greeted on our arrival, ordered drinks and were taken to our table in the conservatory. We ordered our selection of food which started to arrive after a few minutes. I started with Plaice Goujons which were tasty. Being someone who enjoys a roast I followed with a pork roast, which had good sized portions. I was spoilt for choice with the different desserts but finally settled for Toffee Topolino which was delicious. All the food was well presented and none of us was disappointed with any of the different courses. All the staff were pleasant and it was busy with a continuous flow of dinners coming and going. The meal cost approximately £25 each with drinks plus a couple of sides dishes. The location of the New Inn is not in Banbury but about 6 miles out of town and requires a transport to reach it. THE RESTAURANT APPEARS TO HAVE CEASED TRADING AT PRESENT.
Favorite Dish: Toffee Topolino
San Carlo: Excellent Service
The San Carlo Ristorante/Pizzeria is a fairly new Italian Restaurant that has opened in Parsons Street, Banbury. So far I have only tried the fixed price lunch which cost £6.95 for a drink and one selection from the menu. Not wanting to end up with too much of it down my shirt I tried the Lasagne. The last time I had tried some Lasagne was in Berlin and it was runny and it did end up with it down my shirt. This was totally different. Though it was not a large portion it was really tasty. Other people in my party also commented on how tasty the food was. I have tried a second meal with spaghetti bolognese and my daughter tried a pizza. Both dishes were really nice and the pizza was a fair size for the price. They also do take away service. Restaurant Opening Hours: Monday - Saturday, Lunch: 12 noon - 2.30pm, Dinner: 6pm - 10.30pm.
Favorite Dish: Lasagne
Jay Pur: Balti House
This restaurant does a range on Indian Food but specialises in 'Baltis'. It is always busy on most nights and opens the upstairs floor if it gets crowded. The surroundings are typical of any Indian restaurant. The food is always good and plenty of it. I have not finished a meal yet without feeling stuffed. The chicken korma is very good. The meal is finished off with a mint and free Brandy or Baileys. The cost is usually about 12 pounds a head. The restaurant is open from 6pm daily.
There is also a take away and a delivery service. You can order online for delivery via their website.
Favorite Dish: My favourite dish is a lamb or chicken balti served with rice. The strength is about medium. It is well seasoned and nice to clear the dish with nam bread.

Pudding Face at the Coach & Horses: Pudding Face
This was my first visit to the new Pudding Face at the Coach & Horses and I was accompanied by my daughter and grandson. The inside of the premises have been completely renovated with a bar to your right as you enter. There are different seating areas with different types of furniture as well as an outdoor area. There is a chalked up menu on the wall from which to make your selection from about 12 different types of pies and puddings. We ordered our drinks and food from the bar. You have a choice of mash potatoes or chips and vegetables are also provided. The food is served in separate dishes allowing you to share the different puddings and food. The food was nicely present, the portions ample and it tasted good. It was quiet with only a few customers, but it was lunchtime and the place is newly opened. We were offered a menu for the desserts but the main meal was more than adequate. The only criticism I would have was there were no highchairs but we were made more than welcome and we made do.
Favorite Dish: I had the roast pork, apple sauce and sage & onion pudding with mashed potatoes and vegetables, which was tasty.
Muffin Break: Baked in store
I have been past Muffin Break a number times but it has always been crowded or when it was empty I did not have the time. So how was our first visit? It was not too busy and I did notice some more seating at the back of the premises. There are highchairs available so it is child friendly. I tried a flat white coffee and Lin had a normal coffee with milk. I usually gauge the taste of coffee if Lin drinks it and she did in this case. As the name implies they sell a variety of sweet and savoury muffins. They also sell sandwiches for toasting, paninis, savoury snacks and cakes. Besides coffees, tea & hot chocolate, their cold drinks include smoothies, frappes, milkshakes, iced chocolate & iced espresso coffee. The service was quick and friendly and we will be trying it out again.
Favorite Dish: Egg and bacon pie. It brought back memories of my mother's cooking.

She and Him
Finally I get to talk all about myself! I am an active guy who likes restaurants, tennis, cooking, cycling, photography, art appreciation, live theater, indie flicks to b-horror movies. Miles Davis era jazz, XRT flavored rock. Sense of humor is super important because I am funny. I don't have a filter on my mouth and can clear a room sometimes. By sense of humor, I am not talking about laughing at a Will Ferrell movie. I desire someone who is actually funny, and doesn't take life too seriously. I want someone to read this and be like, "hmmm he sounds different and I think we may be on the same wavelength", that kind of thing. I asked my best friend to describe me and he said: genuine, funny, reliable, and short. I know that I am not for everyone, and this is kinda what I am looking for in a woman, someone who walks off the beaten path. Someone who "gets it", who sees the big picture and can manage their life accordingly. Not sure if that made sense... Anyway, I think it is extremely important to follow the golden rule, to be nice to any and all waiters/waitresses no matter what, not to complain about things that simply do not matter. Good Kissing trumps all. I like to live with a kinda European attitude, not be so wasteful or gluttonous. I think people call this 'green' now. I like to travel the country to watch baseball games or to take a weekend trip to see an act that is skipping Chicago, God forbid. I am a self-confessed corporate sellout, who would much rather own a small cafe somewhere, but I will never say I do not appreciate my job. I do. I worship my son in a relatively healthy way. He's the sh1t. Things that will ensure that we click: honesty, a devious, maybe inappropriate sense of humor, the ability to be witty, not obsessed with politics or organized religion. A relative sense of being mellow in stressful situations. Things I love: cycling, motorcycle touring (i've been all over the US on one), camping, tennis, strong coffee, craft beer, diners, drive-ins, and dives, white sox baseball, traveling to places that are awesome, road trips. Things I hate: rude people, condescending behaviors, myopic attitudes, bad drivers, dead-beat dads, phoniness (sp?) I hope this blurb doesn't sound too serious, because I am far from that, in fact I am a total goof, but this is how I feel and in this form of dating where it is so easy to lie I want to be different by being totally honest.

Absolute Value Inequality Graphs in Two Variables - Problem 1
Alissa Fong
Alissa Fong
MA, Stanford University
Teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area
Alissa is currently a teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area and Brightstorm users love her clear, concise explanations of tough concepts
When graphing an absolute value linear inequality, first make sure the inequality is in terms of y. Absolute value linear inequalities are v-shaped. To find points on the graph, set up a table of values. Use a wide range of values in order to get points that cover both sides of the "v". Use a dotted or solid line, depending on the inequality sign, to connect the points. After graphing using a table of values, shade in the appropriate region. If y is greater than the absolute value quantity, then shade above the graph. If y is less than the absolute value quantity, then shade below the graph.
In this problem, you're asked to graph the absolute value inequality Y the absolute of X-2. So in order to do that, the first thing I want you to remember is that, absolute values are V shape. Unless you have an X2 or something which you won't see in your algebra, you're going to have a V shaped graph.
The other thing I'm going to do, is set up a table, where I'm going to choose some X numbers and substitu6te them in to find the Y numbers, that go with the x. Again, it's a good idea to use some negative X numbers in addition to positive numbers, just so you can find the whole V shape.
So let's see. If I -1 in there, Y would be equal, I'm just going to treat this as a equal sign for now, even though it's inequality. Y would be the absolute value of -1, take away 2 which is the absolute value of -3, absolute value of -3 we know is 3. So I'm going to have a dot at -1 for my X number, 3 for my one number. There it is.
Then I'm going to use 0 so if I put in X equals 0, I'll have Y equals to the absolute value of 0 take away 2which is the same thing as the absolute value of -2 which is 2. Here's my next point at (0, 2). Go through like that, I'm going to give you a couple in my head, I'll try to talk you through what I'm doing, if X is one, I'll do 1-2 so that's -1, absolute value Y becomes +1, so I have a dot at (1, 1).
Then if I do X equals 2, 2 take away 2 is 0, absolute value of 0 is just plain old 0. I'm going to keep going a little bit further. One of the things with graphing using a table, is that, if you don't find your whole shape. By whole shape I mean, I'm looking for a V, and I haven't yet found where that V point happens, that's how I know I need to keep going in my table.
What happens if X is 3? Let's see, X is 3 you'll have 3 minus 2 that's 1, absolute value of Y is just still one. That's good, I found one of my graphs turned around, I have that V shape. I'm just going to use symmetry to show that this V would continue out in the right direction, even though I didn't do these points. Since I know about the parent function, since I know these graphs are V's, I can go ahead and like extend it out in that way.
First step done. Next thing I have to do, is decide if they should be a solid or dashed line, based on that inequality sign. Well since it's a strict inequality, meaning Y is only bigger than X-2, that means I have to go back and make this a dashed line.
So I'm going to make that a dashed line. That just means like mathematically, when we see that, that means we know it's a less than or greater. We know it couldn't be equal to the points on this V.
The last thing I need to do, is find out shading. I'm either going to shade everything outside of the V, or else everything inside of the V. And the way to pick, or the way to tell, is to choose any point you want to, that's not on your graph. Plug in the X and Y values and see if you get a true or false indemnity.
I'm just going to pick the point (0, 0) because I think (0, 0) is kind of an easy point to work with, having 0s for X and Y. Let's substitute in. Is it true that 0 is greater than the absolute value of 0-2? Is 0 bigger than 2? No it's not. So that means don't shade here. What I need to do to finish this problem is to shade inside my V.
What that tells us is that, any point I chose on the graph, that showed up in that shaded area, would make this inequality statement true. Like I could use the point like (2, 4). If I plugged in the values, 2 for X 4 for Y, that would make this inequality statement true.
Again guys, once you know the parent function's shape, you know this is a V, make your table. Continue it until you see the V and then it's just graphing inequality techniques from there.

Sixty-Three Nittany Lions Earn Winter Academic All-Big Ten Recognition
March 28, 2012
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Representing seven winter sports, 63 Penn State student-athletes have been recognized with Academic All-Big Ten honors. Penn State's 63 honorees brings the Nittany Lions' all-time total to 3,915 during the 18 years of the conference academic program.
Penn State's 63 honorees ranked second among the 12 Big Ten institutions.
Penn State's academic all-conference award winners and their respective teams excelled both academically and athletically. Several student-athletes who were named Academic All-Big Ten honorees also earned recognition on the field.
A first team All-Big Ten selection by the conference media and an NABC All-District 7 second team honoree, men's basketball's Tim Frazier (Houston, Texas) led the Big Ten in assists per game (6.2) and finished second in scoring (18.8) and steals (2.4) while leading the conference with 17 20-point games. The junior guard's 198 assists on the year set the Penn State season record.
The men's gymnastics team is currently ranked No. 1 after posting the nation's highest team scores in each of the last two weeks of the 2012 regular season. Senior team captain Miguel Pineda (Galloway, Ohio), a 2011 All-American on still rings, won the 2012 Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award and Penn State's Ernest B. McCoy Award and is a finalist for the Nissen-Emery Award. Junior Scott Rosenthal (Clearfield, Pa.) is ranked No. 1 in the nation in the still rings while junior Felix Aronovich (Kiryat Bialik, Israel), the reigning CGA National Gymnast of the Week, has qualified for the 2012 Olympics for his native Israel.
The men's swimming & diving team recently returned from the 2012 NCAA Championships, putting together one of the best years in program history. The Nittany Lions earned 17th place with 54 points behind five All-Americans, including senior Scott Marino (Scotch Plains, N.J.) and sophomore Shane Austin (Kennett Square, Pa.).
The No. 13-ranked women's gymnastics team was recently awarded the program's 38th berth to the NCAA Regional Championships, receiving a No. 3 seed. At last week's Big Ten Championships, junior Sharaya Musser (Colorado Springs, Colo.) was named the 2012 Big Ten Gymnast of the Year and earned first team All-Big Ten honors while junior Madison Merriam (Gaithersburg, Md.) received second team All-Big Ten accolades. Senior Natalie Ettl (Waukesha, Wis.) was a 2012 recipient of Penn State's John W. Oswald Award.
Women's swimmers sophomore Mackenzie Powers (Sycamore, Ill.), senior Katherine Pulos (Rosemont, Pa.), senior Erin Thomas (Bangor, Maine), who joined Pineda as a 2012 Ernest B. McCoy Award winner, and junior Paige Whitmire (Lederach, Pa.) earned first team All-Big Ten honors, helping the Nittany Lions to one of their best showings ever at the Big Ten Championships. The quartet, along with Merritt Krawczyk (Kingwood, Texas) and Chelsea Weedman (Poway, Calif.), qualified for and had a strong competition at the 2012 NCAA Championships.
The Big Ten recognized a total of 615 winter sports student-athletes. To be eligible for Academic All-Big Ten selection, student-athletes must be letterwinners who are in at least their second academic year at their institution and carry a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Penn State student-athletes continue to graduate well above their peers nationwide, earning record-setting academic performances, according to statistical information released by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The NCAA's annual study of institutions nationwide revealed that Penn State student-athletes at the University Park campus earned a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 88 percent compared to the 80 percent average for all Division I institutions for students entering from 2001-02 through 2004-05. The 88 percent figure was third to Northwestern (96) and Illinois (89) among Big Ten Conference institutions.

The newest historic marker in downtown Charleston — a reminder of a milestone in civil rights movement — started drawing attention as soon it was unveiled Sunday afternoon.
A prominent black-and-white sign in front of the S.H. Kress Building at 281 King St. marks the site of a 1960 lunch counter sit-in that started the push for desegregation in Charleston. The big historical marker was uncovered after a 3 p.m. program explaining its significance.
The program, organized by the Preservation Society of Charleston, was held inside the building, because too many people showed up to fit on the sidewalk. About 100 people, both black and white, crowded into a third-floor conference room of the Moore & Van Allen Law Firm, one of the businesses that now occupy the former "five & dime" store where blacks could shop but not eat lunch in the early 1960s.
Pedestrians immediately started stopping to read the new sign and take photographs Sunday afternoon.
It's hard to miss. Standing about 7 feet tall at the edge of the sidewalk near the street, it's the most prominent marker on King Street. One side tells the history of the Kress building and the other the significance of the sit-in.
The occasion generated national attention, as well. CBS Evening News called The Post and Courier newsroom for permission to use the newspaper's archive photos of the protest. The photos had been displayed on a screen behind the speakers during Sunday's King Street program.
The attention is only fitting, according to those who spoke at the program. The sit-in was the first public event in Charleston to protest segregation, and it kicked off "an all-out effort to break racism in Charleston," Minerva Brown King said. She was one of the 24 Burke High School students who sat at the counter for more than five hours until they were arrested on trespassing charges.
It's significant that the fight for segregation was led by a group of high school students, all the speakers noted. Social change "is always a young people's movement," said King, who continues to work with youth as a school librarian. She hopes the marker will inspire today's youth to continue the fight for equality.
"We're just as concerned with our educational system," she said, "and how black and brown children still get the short end of the stick."
Cecilia Gordon Rogers, a school principal who also participated in the sit-in as a student, also hopes the marker inspires a new generation.
"There's still injustice today … and education is my passion," she said.
Jon Hale, who teaches history and education at the College of Charleston, urged parents and teachers to "see students as social-change agents" and "recommit ourselves to a quality public education."

He got a job working for a charity in Slough in 1998, but two years later was arrested on suspicion of issuing himself four cheques worth a total of £10,000. He failed to appear in court to face charges.
Durham man named in list of most wanted
Brian Thexton, 37, from Durham, is accused of being involved in robberies where a gang would tie up homeowners and force them to give up alarm codes and safe combinations.
In one the gang impersonated police officers to dupe the victims into opening the door, before brandishing a pick axe handle and a baseball bat.
He is also awaiting trial for conspiracy to supply cocaine, over claims that he was the middleman in the sale of half a kilo of the drug, and had admitted conspiring to steal cars and machinery.
UK fugitives warned Spain 'is not a safe haven'
Criminals thinking of fleeing to Spain's Costa Del Crime are being warned that Spain is "not a safe haven." The warning comes as British and Spanish authorities issue a joint list of the UK's most wanted criminals thought to be on the run in Spain. Hank Cole from the NCA said:
CCTV: Police appeal in fraud investigation
Police have released CCTV images of a man they need to speak to following a fraud incident.
It happened at Singh General Dealers at Rokeby Street in Lemington, when a man handed over four £10 notes as payment for cigarettes and requested a £20 note in return with change.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has launched a freely available website for published research results from the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project (PCGP). The PCGP is the largest effort to date aimed at sequencing the entire genomes of both normal and cancer cells from pediatric cancer patients, comparing differences in the DNA to identify genetic mistakes that lead to childhood cancers.
Titled "Explore," the website is designed to expand access to high-quality genomic data related to pediatric cancers, accelerate discovery and hypothesis testing, and provide comprehensive visualizations of the data. Explore is also designed to make it easier for clinical and basic researchers to search published results from the PCGP.
Launched in January 2010 in collaboration with Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, the PCGP is focused on sequencing the entire genomes of both normal and cancer cells from 600 childhood cancer patients in the first three years, comparing differences in the DNA to identify genetics mistakes that lead to cancer. No one had sequenced a complete pediatric cancer genome prior to the PCGP, which has sequenced more than 250 sets to date. This work has already led to discoveries featured in two recent papers published in Nature reporting significant advances in understanding the genetic basis of an aggressive subtype of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), known as early T-cell precursor ALL or ETP-ALL, and in retinoblastoma.
"Explore allows researchers to access the genome project's unique, published data specific to pediatric cancers and to make discoveries of their own," said James Downing, M.D., deputy director and scientific director at St. Jude. "We want to be a catalyst for the field and accelerate progress with the research gleaned from the genome project."

What's more, experts say the NSA could have avoided the pre-9/11 failure even without the metadata surveillance program.

Jones' new book, "They Were Soldiers," was written to give veterans and their families alienated and estranged by war a chance to find their way back to one another.

The last time I saw American soldiers in Afghanistan, they were silent. Knocked out by gunfire and explosions that left them grievously injured, as well as drugs, they were carried from medevac helicopters into a base hospital to be plugged into machines that would measure how much life they had left to save. They were bloody. They were missing pieces of themselves. They were quiet.
The bodies of 10 Afghan villagers were found near a base in the country's Wardak Province shortly after the U.S. military was forced to vacate it in the spring. All of the people had disappeared after being detained by U.S. Special Forces, including, it seems, a unit known as "The A-Team," which has also been linked to eight other slayings in Wardak.
The raids in Libya and Somalia last month, targeting an alleged al-Qaeda fugitive and an alleged kingpin of the al-Shabab Islamist movement, were less a sign of America's awesome might than minor exceptions that proved an emerging rule: that the power, prestige, and influence of the United States in the broader Middle East and its ability to shape events there is in a death spiral.

HMAS Grantala was a hospital ship operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) during World War I. She was launched in 1903 by Armstrong Whitworth Company, Newcastle upon Tyne as Grantala for the Adelaide Steamship Company.[2] The ship operated in Australian waters from 1904, and was requisitioned by the RAN on 7 August 1914. She was returned to her owners in 1915, sold and renamed Figuig and was later scrapped in 1934.[3]
Operational history[edit]
Built by Armstrong Whitworth Company, Newcastle upon Tyne for the Adelaide Steamship Company, launched in 1903 and named Grantala. She was used a passenger steamship on the Australian coastal runs capable of carrying 225 passengers. She arrived in Sydney from London on Thursday 10 March 1904.[3]
She was requistioned by the RAN on 7 August 1914 and became Australia's first hospital ship and the only RAN hospital ship of the First World War.[3] HMAS Grantala was fitted out at Cookatoo Island Dockyard and Garden Island Naval Base.[4] The ship's conversion took just 17 days, and upon completion she had the capacity to carry between 250 to 300 patients, tended to by a staff of 59.[5] During her short RAN service, she supported the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force landing at Rabaul, which was later recognised with the battle honour "Rabaul 1914".[3][6][7]
Grantala was returned to her owners in 1915. She was sold to Red Funnell Shipping Company and renamed Figuig, before being sold to Compagnie Générale Transatlantique in 1920, used on the passenger run between Marseilles and Algiers. She was sold for breaking up and was broken up in Italy in 1934.[3][8]

Flamingo: By the harbor
The quays by the harbor consist mainly of wall-to-wall restaurants. They all look more or less interchangeable. I chose this one, for no particular reason.
Second photo: View of the harbor from the restaurant.
Third photo: Moules frites aka mussels and fries. I thought the mussels were fine and the fries were rather tiresome – but I hasten to add that I am not a gourmet diner, so don't take my word for it.
Fourth and fifth photos: The harbor from two of the other restaurants.
Next: Hole-in-the-wall phone shops
L'Air du Temp: Moules galore
On the port with views of the boats and masts. Recommended by at the local bar, we sat outside and enjoyed the specialty of the house, Moules in the house sauce. They were very delicious, served in a iron pot. I felt stuffed, as there was mussels a plenty.
