OpEd by Ambassador (R) Louis A. Delvoie on the reasons why Libya may become a failed state, in Friday's Kingston Whig Standard.
"Of the three North African countries which were at the centre of the so-called Arab Spring of 2011, the one which has attracted the least media attention in recent months is Libya. There is good reason for this.
Egypt has experienced a series of dramatic and tragic political and human events which have seen the country revert to virtual military rule. Tunisia for its part has reached and passed a number of milestones en route to becoming a solid parliamentary democracy; while still a work in progress, Tunisia's political evolution has been widely acclaimed around the world. Nothing comparable has happened in Libya, for good or bad. In fact, Libya is in a disturbing state of flux, which can be in good part accounted for by the country's history.. "

Driver was professional and waiting for us! Took us along the promenade and provided us with lots of information about the area. Would highly recommend!
Excellent! We were about 30 minutes late but he was standing their waiting with our names on his sign. Helped load the luggage, drove directly to the hotel, told us a bit about the city during the drive, pulled up right in front of the hotel, helped us unload....absolutely no issues.
Met on arrival by very nice and friendly gentlemen. Quickly at hotel with interesting chat en-route.
What a great service. Our flight was delayed three hours and it was so nice to walk out and be met by a very friendly driver who had been given about as little information as we had been given in Barcelona. Lovely clean vechile and quick delivery to our hotel. I highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to use this service again.
Alan S
Great service. Driver was a real professional!
Excellent, driver easily located. Great information on the way to the hotel. Very nice clean car and driver presentation outstanding.
This tour was amazing!
Perfect, highly recommend.
Driver met me on time with a name board and a swift transfer to my hotel. Excellent service will use again when arriving in a new city abroad.
The driver was punctual, pleasant and made us feel welcome. He gave us a good commentary of the sights during our drive to the Hotel.
Car wa waiting for us. Wonderful service
Angela B
It was good to have someone take me to my hotel. I would recomend everyone to do the same very nice gentleman.
Excellent the driver was so informative about our short trip into Nice that we felt we had had a tour before we arrived at our hotel as it was after midnight the service was 1st class could not recommend it more highly
Transfers made everything easy and driver was pleasant and knowledgeable!
on time and very efficient - would recommend and use again
Monique S
Great! Easy to find. Good to chat to. Overall a great way to begin your holiday.
Our driver was waiting for us when we arrived at the airport holding a sign with our name. He was driving a luxury car which was very clean and nice. The driver was also very friendly and pointed out various sights along the drive to our hotel.
She was very helpful with my elderly mother, very courteous, sweet, and kind. I hope to have her as my driver next time.
I will never go on another international tour without taking a Viator Airport transfer. Great service!
Lillian R.
I was traveling alone and wanted to make sure I would arrive at my destination safely and without confusion. This was the perfect and most comfortable experience! The driver was waiting for me at the baggage claim, with a sign with my name on it. Driver was personable, spoke English and knew exactly where I needed to go. I was able to relax after a very long flight!! Thanks Viator!!!
Excellent way to get from airport to your hotel. I highly recommend it.
We were very pleased with the Airport transfer service. We arrived at Nice Airport at 9 PM and after clearing immigration, our driver was waiting for us. He took our luggage and us in a comfortable car and went directly and quickly to our Hotel. Much better than trying to find a cab at night after a long trip. Highly recommended.
Very fast and good service. This was my first time using Viator's services and I like all of them in three diferrent countries. Driver was at the airport when we arrived with very good car and gave a good ride to our hotel in Nice. Same was on the way back to the airport.
Excellent, the driver was on time and assisted us with our luggage

Police investigate Ewa Beach homicidePublished 6:30 PM HST Mar 25, 2014
Jumped by three men, beaten and left to die. It was a gruesome killing and police need your help.Video Transcript
for Paula Akana. A 38-year old man dead... after a vicious attack.. The men who may be responsible-- still on the loose tonight. Police say the attack happened overnight Sunday in front of a home on Komana Street in Ewa Beach. And that's where KITV4's Brenton Awa is standing by live now with the very latest. Brenton? We're out here in the We're out here in the neighborhood right up the street from Campbell high school. Earlier we spoke with a person who saw the whole event happen. That witness told us a man that lived in that house behind me was apparently drinking late Saturday night into Sunday morning. Just after midnight the witness told us the man was making a lot of commotion on the sidewalk. That's when the witness notices a car pull up right here and someone inside exchange words with the victim. THEN THE CAR DROVE OFF DOWN KOMANA STREET. The witness says the victim started to slowly walk down the street and suddenly that witness noticed 3 guys walking towards the victim. The witness told us 2 of the suspects stopped from approaching the man but the third walked up to the victim, kicked him in his sternum -- dropping the man to the ground and the witness said that was it... There was no movement from the victim from that point on until medics arrived. Police are looking for the publics help. HPD believes the suspects to be in their late teens TO EARLY 20's. OUTCUE: "...ITS SCARY." Another tip we got from the witness is that one of the suspects pulled out his phone and took a picture of the victim laying on the ground before driving off. The victim was 38-years-old, he died at the hospital yesterday. Those suspects face a charge of murder in the second degree. If you have any information on this case, you're asked to call crimestoppers. Live in Ewa Beach Bawa KITV4 News.

When choosing an area rug you should consider couple of things, do you want a rug that will become a family heritage or you just want to add some warmth to your room with a simple rug. A beautiful handmade rug is likely to gain value as years go by, and could even become a collectible down the road. Handmade rugs are mostly made of silk, wool, or both in the same time. Best quality oriental rugs may come from Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, China or Tibet. If you are on budget you might want to go with a machine made area rug than a handmade rug. Nowadays, the machine made area rugs look and fell almost like the handmade rugs and they are a lot less expensive. Machine made area rugs made with nylon or polyester. The life span of a synthetic rug is shorter that the ones made by natural fibers like silk or wool. If you are not sure what size or style to begin with, in your family or living room you might consider 5×8 rug and make sure the furniture is off the rug. In a dining room the rug should be big enough so that the dining table and the chairs fit on the rugs. Today the area rug is available with many vivid colors and styles.
Area rug that offers rich colors and designs will add great warmth to your space. But making sure that the colors of your rug matches the accessories and furniture in your room is important too. However some people don't care about the vivid colors that the most oriental rugs offer. You may be able to tell where the rug was made simply by looking at the patters and designs and colors.

If you have not starting building an e-mail list you have already missed the boat. When you have a blog and want to take it to the next level you need to embrace email marketing. Some experts would even advise you that you should pack it up and forget your dreams.
Seriously, without an email list it probably is time to just give in, give up and head home. It's all right to cut your losses if you don't have a clue about the benefits and advantages of email lists. I'm kidding about you giving up (of course), but the truth is you need to start an email list today.
3. Using default forms is not a good idea for opt-in forms. Instead of trusting these silly forms to attract subscribers you should create an opt-in design that will optimize those conversions for site. Make sure that the overall appearance of the form is inviting, user-friendly and visually appealing.
4. Think you have to place the opt-in on a sidebar? Think again. Explore some other possible places to invite viewers to join your email list. Try placing the option on your homepage, underneath your articles or at on other pages that your reader's frequently view on your site.
5. Never label your message as a "newsletter". This is a term that is passe. Even worse it automatically makes your message boring and turns people off.
6. Time for the test. It is really important to test what you design. Don't be afraid to try out some different ideas. Experiment with words, colors and phrasing. Check to see which ideas are best at increasing your number of new subscribers. If you watch for the trends and exploit the right ones the opt-in rate will go through the roof. Remember that an idea that someone else is promoting because it works for them does not mean the same idea will work for you.
7. Single style opt-ins are okay, mainly because they can help you keep the readers who are not clicking on a confirmation. If you are using the single option for your opt-in formula for your free listings you are also going to be holding on to spam emails, the non-responding addresses and other assorted bull-crap. A double opt-in design can be more helpful.
8.Tweak the page you use to thank the subscribers for confirming their addresses. A good "thank you" will go a long way toward building your customer base. The better pages really do boost your bottom line after the customers have subscribed. Make sure that you are tracking your email confirmation rate on a regular basis.
9. Optimizepress and similar "squeeze page" designs are your "go to" idea when you want to bring more people to your online blog. You need a minimum of 1 squeeze page even if you do use opt-ins. Be sure to include one of these squeeze pages to target each email list that is being constructed from an opt-in form. If you have a reference to the email list create a squeeze page link because these pages consistently producer higher opt-in percentages than standard opt-ins that are included in blog sidebars. This strategy never fails.
10. Create a reason why readers should click on your blog. Make it personal and issue a sincere invitation to those on your main list. Do not use your email list as a direct broadcast for your blog postings. Anyone who is determined to ignore this advice should at least send the broadcast posts to addresses on a different list.
11. Both the headline and subject line of all emails should be given equal importance. You can use the more successful blog headline formulas with your email. These formulas have proven to be quite good when it comes to enticing readers/subscribers to open the email they receive.
12. Treat your subscribers as your friends. Chill out and relax, but keep the information personal and entertaining. Send the type of information you would want to read. Build a solid online community and create a situation where these people want to hear what you have to say next.
13. No matter what you are sending to your subscribers (blog postings, promotions, affiliate info) make sure that you include something for them to click onto. This builds a list of people who expect to click onto your suggestions. Remember Pavlov's dogs? Similar principle.
Give your subscribers value for their actions. No email should be sent unless it offers something. This is how you create fruitful interactions that pay dividends both ways. Of course there needs to be a bold "call to action". An affiliate link or even some of your own products can be used as part of your call to action plan. This means that the reader needs to respond in order to find out what the rest of the story really is. Do not squander these money-making opportunities. If you play your cards right the subscribers are going to be eager to follow your lead.
14. Too few emails means that your hot customer list can become bitterly cold in a very short period of time. I send emails to my subscribers at least 3 times each week which is pretty much right on target. Too many emails will over-saturate the market. Personally, I feel that many bloggers do not send enough emails in a week's time.
15.Don't send lengthy emails-shorter is better. Too many words and your people are going to trash the message because of time constraints. The best option is a short, concise message and a click-able link. You may have a few exceptions from time to time, but this should be your rule of thumb.
16. Pass on the URL and use anchor text for the links instead. Make sure the words in your anchor text are interesting enough to get the attention of your readers. Think about how you word the subject line and headlines.
17. For easier reading on mobile devices use a plain-text format to line wrap your email messages.
18. HTML is perfect for those plain-text email messages. This makes the email look just like text and you can keep track of the messages that are being opened.
19. When you send a message be sure that you link to the click-able portion more than one time. In my emails I link twice (or more) to the specific information that I want the readers to click.
20. Schedule the sequence for your autoresponder. When you schedule the sequence you will not be sending duplicates of those 1 time email messages. With Aweber you can set the days that you will be controlling the flow and which ones are being answered automatically by the autoresponder. This will keep conflicting emails out of the picture.
21. Simple email marketing formula. Tantalizing post-interesting headline and intriguing subject line. This formula will make it possible for you to drive your subscriber list the right way. Use your email to issue an invitation to your loyal subscribers and make it compelling for them to comment on your blog.
Okay. We are just about done for the day. You should have discovered at least a few good tips that you want to try. For anyone who still does not have an email list to work with I would urge you to sign up for Aweber to help you jump-start your marketing strategy. Aweber is the A-game in this type of marketing business. There is a good reason that it's so popular. It is only $1 to try Aweber and you can use this trial period to find out how the company can help you build your customer base. Use that same period of time to begin trying out more of my email marketing tips. This is the perfect way to develop and refine your marketing strategies for sending emails to subscribers. Test it out now. This is one of the smartest moves that you could possibly choose.

In January, we learned that 32-year-old Chinese national Bo Zhang was the main suspect in the case of the source code theft from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Prosecutors stated that the code he stole was worth around $9.5 Million (€7.4 Million).
Zhang pleaded guilty to stealing proprietary software back in May. Now, he has been sentenced to six months of house arrest and three years of supervised release, Finextra reports.
Prosecutors tried to get him an 18-month prison sentence, but the judge argued that the software hasn't been given to anyone else and it's still utilized by the Federal Reserve Bank.
Zhang might be deported back to China.
The source code copied by the man is the one of the Government-Wide Accounting and Reporting Program, a piece of software used to keep track of the US government's finances.

Some more shocking details emerged on the third day of the recently surfaced spot-fixing scandal that has tarnished the credibility of the cash-rich Indian Premier League.
Here's a breakdown of Saturday's major developments.
BCCI chief N Srinivasan says IPL not fixed
BCCI President N Srinivasan came down hard on the players arrested in the spot-fixing case, telling CNN-IBN's Karan Thapar that those found guilty should be sent to jail, while vehemently denying that the Indian Premier League was fixed. "Every punishment is little for them. If these players are found guilty they should not be allowed to play cricket any more .... They should be sent to jail. This has shocked all of us, didn't expect it from a player like Sreesanth," the board president said.
When asked if these repeated incidents point towards the whole tournament being rigged, Srinivasan vehemently denied that. "Everybody is saying IPL is finished," he said. "I acknowledge three cricketers have done this. Naturally it will have some act and your view will be different from mine. If evidence comes out we will deal with it. BCCI is very concerned [but] IPL is not fixed."
Sreesanth received 10 lakh of the total 40 lakh fixed
Delhi police sources told CNN-IBN that Rajasthan Royals' bowler Sreesanth received Rs 10 lakh of the total 40 lakh as fixed. Bank accounts of the players were also checked and the sources added that there were strong evidence against Sreesanth and they have enough proof to prove Sreesanth's money trail.
It was also learned that the police team was sent to offspinner Ajit Chandila's house and they had a voice recording between him and his wife, where his wife was asking him where is he getting so much money from?
Mumbai Police arrest another bookie named Ramesh Vyas
Mumbai Police arrested another bookie named Ramesh Vyas in connection with the recently surfaced spot-fixing scandal. Police seized 92 mobile phones, 18 sim cards from Vyas, who was said to have links with bookies involved in the spot-fixing scandal.
Roy also informed about Sreesanth who, according to Mumbai Police, had booked himself a room in a five star hotel in Delhi, which was not the same hotel in which his team was staying. Another room was booked by Jiju Janardhanan, who was said to be Sreesanth's accomplice, and the police recovered an I pad from his room as well.
Chandila confesses to spot-fixing in IPL 5 as well
In yet another sensational revelation, Delhi police sources told CNN-IBN that Chandila has confessed to fixing in IPL 5 as well. Earlier, the interrogation of cricketer-turned-bookie Amit Singh on Friday had revealed that another match played during IPL 5 may have been fixed.
Sreesanth's laptop seized in Mumbai hotel raid
A team of the Mumbai crime branch raided the Sofitel Hotel in Mumbai's Badra-Kurla Complex on Friday night in relation to the spot-fixing case, from where they seized a laptop that possibly belonged to Sreesanth. Though it's still not certain if the laptop is owned by Sreesanth, sources told CNN-IBN that it was possible that Sreesanth might have contacted the bookies from here and even transacted for spot-fixing.
I was not hiding, says IPL chief Rajiv Shukla
Breaking his silence on the IPL spot-fixing scandal that has maligned Indian cricket, IPL chief Rajiv Shukla said that he "was not hiding" and the BCCI will do everything that it takes "to weed out" corruption.
ECB to question RR recruit Shah after IPL spot-fixing scam
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is set to interrogate Rajasthan Royals' English recruit Owais Shah as a precautionary measure in the wake of the recent spot-fixing scandal that has rocked the ongoing Indian Premier League. Former England batsman Shah is set to be interviewed by ECB's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU).

This weeks feature is in honor of the Ben Cordwell Memorial Girls Basketball Tournament, which will be held Friday and Saturday at Ogdensburg Free Academy. The OFA girls will square off against Canton Friday.
The player in the photo is OFA Class of 1994 graduate Liz MacDougall, who helped propel the team to victory against Massena that year in the Section X Basketball Championships and who made the first team Girls All NAC B-C team that year. That was also the year that Coach Cordwell was awarded coach of the year honors.
Liz remains one of the most talented lady athletes in OFAs history. She won a full scholarship to play womens basketball for the Division I Marist College, Poughkeepsie. In her senior year, she racked up 511 attempts, 160 two-point shots, 46 three-point shots, 65 foul shots, 131 steals, and 154 assists, and averaged 19.6 points per game.
That year was also the last year the team was coached by Mr. Cordwell, who had served as girls varsity basketball coach since 1979. The tournament in his memory was established in 2000.
He gave us the freedom to express our natural talents and athletic abilities, Ms. MacDougall said in an email message Friday. He cared about us as individuals, always treated us with respect and most of all had a passion for womens basketball and the Blue Devils. He was ahead of the game for sure in regards to womens basketball, especially in the north country.
She said he kept detailed statistics on each player.
He truly studied and loved the game, Ms. MacDougall said. He loved each and every one of his players. He got me a medal for my one thousandth-point game and didnt need to. I still have it.
Special thanks to Mr. Cordwells daughter, Marguerite (Peg) Cordwell Brown, for providing the photo and information for this weeks feature. She said her father kept everything over the years he coached, including photos and statistics.
The OFA girls junior varsity team, coached by Jade Vernsey, faces off against Cantons Lady Golden Bears at 5 p.m. Friday. The OFA varsity girls, coached by Lynn Blevins, will face Cantons varsity squad at 8 p.m. Both games are in the schools main gym.

H.C. Michelle Byrd and Sheng Lin-Gibson
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) generally uses metal salts to cationize synthetic polymers, such as polystyrene. However, reduced analyte signal often results from complications during the metal ionization processes in the gas phase including competition between the analyte and matrix for cationization, self-clustering of the metal salts, and clustering of metal salts with matrix. One approach to increase the polymer ion signal is to apply more aggressive laser power; however, this may result in fragmentation of the polymer leading to molecular mass distribution (MMD) unrepresentative of the true distribution. Our laboratory has developed a covalent cationization method in which a phosphonium or an ammonium salt is covalently attached to one of the chain ends. This will assure singly charged analytes and the competition associated with metal ionization will be eliminated. Better spectra can be generated since the undesirable background noise can also be reduced. Furthermore, polymers, such as polyolefins, that cannot be cationized using traditional metal approach can be cationized using covalent cationization to produce successful MALDI spectra.
We demonstrate the covalent cationization method used to characterize polyolefins and polystyrenes. Furthermore, a comparison between covalent cationization method and traditional metal cationization for polybutadiene and polystyrene is made to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms that govern the desorption/ionization processes.

1960 World Series Game #7--1960
Smacking a leadoff 9th-inning, World
Series-winning, walk-off home run
against Yankee hurler Ralph Terry, Bill
Mazeroski gave the Pirates a surprising
World Series Championship in 1960,
while giving baseball fans an image that
has lasted the ages.
And that picture highlights today's card.
It is an impression that brings hope.
David can beat Goliath.
The Little Train can make it over the hill.
The Gold Glove, defensive-minded
second sacker batting eighth in a lineup
can bring home a World Series title with
a home run.
Have a great day… anything is possible
it you try.
Editor's Note: The Hall of Famer
Mazeroski would hit a total of 140 home
runs during his 17-year career, making
him the unlikely hero.

When Did You Know It Was Time to Cover Up?
Like us on Facebook
Over the weekend, the subject of family nudity was debated in The New York Times when a mother of two boys, ages 8 and 12, asked if it was time to start hiding the family jewels. Aviva Rubin wrote:
That ease with one another's nudity is part of the depth of my connection to them — something closed doors don't offer. I know it has to change, but when? In my childhood home no private parts were actively on display, so no moment ever came when they had to be hidden away.
Our readers have been very vocal about whether parents should be naked in front of the kids. Now we want to know what actually sent you for cover — was it the birth of your child, some pointing and laughing, or just a feeling that it was time?

How do you get fishy smell out of clothes?
I am newly married to a commercial fisherman, he is gone 6 months a year, and even though he washes his clothes while he is gone there is still a strong, fish smell on his work clothes. I wash them before packing them away on the boat for next season, but I can not get that smell out. I have tried suggestions from other wives like wash with baking soda, vinegar, and even a can of coca cola, none of which helps. When I use these the smell seems to disappear, but as soon as I dry the clothes it is as strong as ever. Please help!
- Asked by feelinfroggy3174, A Stay-at-Home Mom, Female, 36-45, Home Maker
Hon...seriously. I think you better get used to it. With your man's profession, I don't think there's any way you're ever gonna get those togs spring-time fresh again.

Try a scoop of Oxy Clean in with your laundry detergent. It neutralizes stains and odors. I've read it's even capable of removing skunk odor! Good luck to you!
- Response by majicou, Female, Who Cares?
Have your tried color safe bleach, if not, try, you might be able to get rid of the smell. The only other choice is to have a separate set of clothing for fishing, which can be placed in a separatete bag after they are washed and dried, to be used for the next season. this seems to be an easeir solution. You will have to store these in the garage or a store room in plastic container boxes.
- Response by fem09, The Cook, Female, 46-55, Home Maker
When I worked in a deli my clothes stunk like fried chicken,which maybe sounds not so bad, but it was disgusting,that old icky grease smell. I found washing with bakingsoda helps, and to wash them several times, the more they're washed the more the smell goes away. Try airig them out on a clothes line too.
- Response by raviolimom, A Stay-at-Home Mom, Female, 26-28
A friend of mine worked at a fish market,he said to use lemon juice,in your wash and that would stop the smell.hope this helps,have a good evening.

WOW! I have never felt so great! I have been attending the cardio boxing and cardio kickboxing classes for approximatley 6 months and my whole body has changed. The staff and trainers are so friendly, they are always willing to stop and show me something new or make sure I am doing everything right. If you want something new or it's something you always wanted to try . . . The Wait Is Over. You will love this!
girliegirl12885 (customer) on CitySearch
i have tried several gyms in the last couple years, and this is the place for me. i am normally nervous going into gyms that are over filled by egotistical men looking for a meat market, but when i came into the gym my first night i was shocked by all the other women in the gym, and if that wasn't enough the staff is great,i didnt even take the free class that was offered i just signed up and ladies i'll tell you that the general manager is great eye candy . so if you're looking for a place to really get in shape and have something nice to look at check out la boxing.
big_worm (customer) on CitySearch
I am a software developer for a local company and I normally don't get a lot of exercise. I need to loose a ton of weight and in the 5 months I have been going to LA Boxing I have already lost about 15 pounds. As a new father I don't have a ton of time to go to a gym every other day but the cardio kickboxing class has been amazing! I have a long way to go but this is the longest I have stuck with anything. They have so many different classes and different things to do that it is easy to go back for more every week. The staff is great and the classes are small and fun. Don't hesitate to ask any employee or instructor for any tips or info. They are more than willing to help with different skill levels which is something I was fearful of before I joined. I have learned a ton and best of all am slowly loosing weight :)
johndavidson (customer) on CitySearch
I have been going to different gyms around Austin for years. When I look around I see people I have seen for years, and their bodies don't change at all. I think it is probably a combination of diet and not enough resistance training. They are basically in a rut. I tend to balance my workouts and stay in shape, but lately had been in a "going through the motions" rut. So, I decided to check LA Boxing. What I noticed immediatelty was the warm, friendly atmosphere of the owners and staff. They have been extremely helpful with encouraging pointers that have improved my novice skills tremendously. I have to say that I was really bored with 24 hr fitness. Still go there some, but it just seems lifeless in comparrison. Everyone seems to be going through the motions. Where at LA Boxing it is very much alive with positive energy. And, I lost 10 pounds in the first 2 months by training three times a week. Most people would have looked at me and thought I was in shape. Now, in short order, I am in great shape. And I am 50 years old!
captainpcakes (customer) on CitySearch
I have been attending LA Boxing for about 13 months. I enjoy the variety of class times and instructors. As a female, I love the smaller classes and the amount of females in the kickboxing classes. The workouts are intense and work on all areas of your body. After the hour class, you feel like you have really accomplished a great workout!
l_walker (customer) on CitySearch
When I first visited the gym I was welcomed with friendly faces. The staff is great and really make going to the gym enjoyable. The classes there are excellant so if you're not looking to sweat and burn off some pounds, then this would not be the place for you. There is a lot of knowledge offered as well as enough patience to teach the proper techniques. Come check it out, guarentee you won't be disappointed.
PirateQueen23 (customer) on CitySearch
At La Boxing you are more then just a membership walking in the door to pay your gyms light bill. You feel as if you are part of the gym itself...The Owners and the staff are"OUTSTANDING" they make you feel comfortable about workng out plus there are a lot of other women who go there. All the staff are always willing to help with some extra tips, wraping your hands...put it this way, they take the extra time with "you" to make sure you reach your goals and they want to get to know you as a person. Everyone is so upbeat and positive. I Love coming here.. I come 4 to 5 times a week and still want more. The classes are hard but so worth it. The Trainers are again"OUTSTANDING" You leave knowing you just kicked@$$ and with time you have the body and health to show it. La Boxing has changed my mind about what is healthy. I was trying so hard to lose weight I stopped eatting right. I was having as litle as 300 cal. a day BUT NOT ANYMORE now I eat good all day and still lose weight!! In all if you are looking for a gym that gives you a good work out in a fun friendly positive setting then La Boxing is the only place in Austin that can give that to you. They even Have kids classes. THANK YOU so much La Boxing for everything, you will never know how much everyone there has helped me.... also you helped me believe in myself that I can Lose the weight and just how prowerful I really am.....Thank You.
willdlr51 (customer) on CitySearch
When I first went in I was greeted by the great staff and quickly accepted by the other members of the gym. Everyone in the gym knows their place and there isn't any overly cocky discouraging people. The classes are great for cardio, fat burning, and training to get to the next level in your fight game. It's a real close knit family with all of the fighters and the staff is amazing. Since starting to train at the gym 4 months ago I've lost between 20 and 30 pounds and have dropped clothes sizes as well. I feel great and they put me to work. I also come in and train by myself and ask for assitance on new moves and such when needed. One of the staff members even hooked me up with a free meal plan and workout circuit. LA Boxing overall is one of the best gym's I've worked out at and now I no longer need all the other gym memberships because with LA Boxing I get it all.
hezba (customer) on CitySearch
you will not get lost amongst the crowd here-the staff at LA Boxing are incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and welcoming. the gym itself is clean and well maintained. my only beef is that it's 20 miles from my home!
socalboy619 (customer) on CitySearch
I have been a member of this gym for over 2 years now and absolutely love it!!! I am a member at 3 gyms total and have only gone to the other 2 gyms twice since I started here. The workouts that you get are off the charts! The great thing is, you can go at your own pace regardless of what your skill level is!!! The owners and staff listen to what the members wants and needs are in a gym like this. With the recent expansion and upgrades, it really shows! All the equipment is great including the wide selection of loaner gloves, pads and head gear. They will let you take a free class so what do you have to lose, besides weight and inches??? You will not be sorry!
taitalya (customer) on CitySearch
I have been a member at Boxing Brothers Gym for almost 2 months now - and am completely hooked. The people are great and the atmosphere is awesome. I haven't been able to get into a consistent workout routine since college athletics, and Boxing Brothers has changed all of that. I couldn't get the motivation to go jog everyday, but now - I look forward to going to the classes and get a phenomenal workout while I am there. The price is very reasonable, the classes are great (and accommodate all levels and ages) - and the staff is awesome.
kungfukittie (customer) on CitySearch
I have been going to this gym for about 2 months now. I signed up the day of my free class so I knew I wouldn't have an excuse (like being lazy) not to come back. The staff is awesome. The regulars are great. The pro fighters are fun to watch spar. The price is very affordable for what you get. <-unlimited classes! They even packed more classes into the schedule to help accommodate more people more times per day. I am VERY thrilled to start going everyday now. I won't have a reason like work to keep me from attending. I am a fan of the cardio kickboxing class, but am going to try some of the other classes out soon. Everyone is invited to try any type of class they want. The staff wants us to get a work out, but they always say they want us to learn something too. Hats off to newly name Boxing Brothers Gym. If results are what you want, results PLUS fun PLUS atmosphere PLUS friends are what you get!
Ryan408 (customer) on CitySearch
I have been going to brothers boxing gym for about of a month now, i am now very in good shape. Also what that other guy said about the billing he is lieing you have options on how to pay. Me personally, i give them a check every month and they dont even so much as pressure you to pay you can quit when ever you want. There staff is great at teaching and helping you get in shape. If you think im part of the staff go look for me ill be there.
Victor15b (customer) on CitySearch
Deceitful: First off, all of these "five star" reviews are fake, written by the staff. Click on the usernames, you will see that they have all only submitted one review. A ten minute google search will reveal the EXACT SAME reviews on several other review sites. Unethical: If they manage to lure you in the door, they'll try to sell you on a $600 membership. (notice how prices are not listed anywhere on their website) Ambush marketing at its worst Fraudulent: Once they have your credit card information, they give it a third party billing company that nickels and dimes you with transaction fees on top of an overpriced membership. If thats not bad enough, they have you jump through endless hoops if you ever want to cancel your membership....and continue to bill you for months afterwards DON'T BE LURED IN!!!
PhilAA (customer) on CitySearch
I'm not sure what Victor15b is saying, but the owners, Paul and Dave, are good guys. I've been training at Boxing Brothers for almost a year and made it through their move away from the LA Boxing franchise. I can't tell the difference. What makes this gym and martial arts studio so great are the people. From Paul and Dave to the instructors, fighters, and students, everyone has been great. It is a family over there. The Submission Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), and fitness classes are instructional, fun, and killer. This place is my stress relief and I'm glad that they're here. Don't listen to us keyboard warriors, come out and experience the gym for yourself. Let's roll.
chrsmrnd (customer) on CitySearch
I have been going to this gym for about 4 months. Not one bad thing to say about the gym,equipment, monthly fee, or staff. This Gym is family owned and very clean. The staff is great. Their instructors knowledge of training is huge. As for the person leaving the bad post, I would like to see that dufus jump through a hoop considering what he eats and drinks. If you notice the only place he does not bad mouth is a buffet. He can not complain about service, because he is serving himself. This guy probably complains about everything in life that does not go his way. What an A$$ hat
broseanne (customer) on CitySearch
I came across this gym as an opportunity to get my daughter excited and interested in exercise. In the beginning, the owners were very friendly and helpful. I soon brought myself and other family members to the gym with me. But towards the end of the 3 month "trial" membership, things started to change. Seemed like different instructors every week for the same time slot class. As personal schedules became hectic, we decided to not renew our membership beyond the trial period. Here is where everything went downhill. Two months of automatic withdrawals after I followed their cancellation process. Countless run-ons and blowoffs by the owners, including a spouse of one of the owners. Hollow and empty promises including one stating my money would be back in my account close to 3 weeks ago. This place has the worst business practices I have ever encountered and have contacted the 3 B's in regards to perpetrating credit card fraud.
TimJo679 (customer) on CitySearch
At first when i started going everything was great. I felt like i really belonged to a family. But after that first month things started to change. A couple of the instructors got fired or quit which was a really upsetting considering they were really good at teaching. The schedule changed not in my benefit. It is not true that you get one on one time with the trainers. Me personally have never seen anyone getting one on one time except for there first time in. In my opinion B.T. is the only good instructor they have left there. I have also experienced the payment plan which is very faulty.
Sam33 (customer) on CitySearch
I totally understand the money is thigh right now for a lot of people and it is affection local family owned bussiness. But the way this establishments is handleling the situation is the wrong one. I have been there 3 times since they got locked out and still no response from the owners, no calls to members or at least a decent sign explaining problems and posible solution. I would be happy if they say "we working on it, it will take a week a month" or wathever, but at least give your face to the members. I have talked to several members that were calling in the spot to cancel thier memberships, i dont want to go that route just yet, but would defenetly apreciate a response from the owners. All the "family emergency sign" and then the lock out sign is not a valid explanation. Im pretty sure there is lots of people like me that will understand the situation as long a proposed solution is given. And if the final desion may be to close down then they need to say somethhing before we get charged for another month, that we probably wont get a refund for. I just paid my dues on the 20 and is irritating that fro as much as I pay I can even go in. I have 4 memberships to the gyms in the area, and this one is defenetly the most pricy thatI have, wich is not problem because I enjoy it that much. But COME ON GUYS, dont be like this, show that you care and let the members know what is going on and and what is going to happen.
chinati (customer) on CitySearch
I thought this was going to be a great gym for my teenager to learn to box but on my second trip there, the owners had been locked out by the landlord. Any information on what's going on?
Pinkcutie2005 (customer) on CitySearch
I have never been anywhere so homely. When I walk in they remember your name and are always very friendly, they treat you like family. I have taken the Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA and have loved all the classes. I think they have great instructors who really care. When I leave the gym I feel dead, like I have gotten a great workout! I have never been to such a friendly place, I goto the same classes you get to know the other members, and it really takes your mind off work and stress. I feel like I have improved extremely since I have started clasees there and would recommend this gym to anyone, Its definetly one of a kind.
sissa0930 (customer) on CitySearch
I signed up for a three month membership to get in shape for my wedding. I loved the classes and the instructors but when my credit card was declined on my honeymoon I saw that they continued to debit my account after my membership was up! I'm now overdrawn and can't access my credit! I can't get in the gym if I wanted to and when I called the 866 number on my credit card statement they told me that "we're not sure whats up with this gym" and to call back in a week. Has anyone had any luck getting your money back? I'll keep you posted when I call them back in a week! This is why I hate automatic withdrawl!!
kerbeygirl (customer) on CitySearch
Like a bad marriage, it started out great but sadly ended very bad. Joined around feb 08. The instructors were HOT!!! It was a single ladies dream gym. Then the instructors quit or were fired, one hotty after another. No more Garret, Joseph, Alberto, even little Mike and Big Justin left. STRIKE ONE! We were left with crazy mma dudes that seemed to be on steroids and/or mar!juana, and a teenage bimbo that the owners seemed to have a thing for. Domingo and Freddy were ok, even though they weren't eye candy. STRIKE TWO!! Theeen they pull all this closing the gym down while still charging people bullSh*t. STRIKE THREE!!! I guess all good things must come to an end. My account is currently on hold according to the creditor pending further info from guess who...not cool. If the gym opens up like they say on their website, which I very much doubt, I'd advise anyone to stay away from it. Btw it used to be called LA boxing so if they change the name again buyer beware. Someone should open up a gym for women with Hot male instructors. I'd go :)

Same story as many of the others.....loved this facility for my teenage son. The owners were personable and helpful. The gym closed and there has been no word other than a misleading sign about a family emergency and later, a small note on the website. My son quit football at his high school to participate in the many classes revolving around MMA and he is quite disappointed. SHAME ON YOU! The worst thing has been that no matter what the difficulties with the gym has been, they have made no attempt to contact members. My bank was quite willing to stop the payments from the source and waive my stop payment fees. They said they could also file a claim on monies taken out for the previous month if I deemed it necessary. I do not know if this was some intricate scam, but I do know that it was handled very poorly if the gym closed for legitimate reasons. I expected more from Lou, Paul and David Watson. What was originally a great experience from my 15 year old son ended in bitter disappointment...........too soon we learn the perfidies that men do to one another.

HOW DARE YOU DAVID, PAUL, AND LOU????? Im lost for words, but Im mad as hell and will not stand by and let you take money that's not yours and step all of people!!! How could you do this to us. No email, no calls, not even NOTHING. Did you thinking that anyone was going to turn their heads and walk away?? Your company broke the contract we held. First you closed your doors and claimed monthly dues for OCT and NOV and second you took the money out brfore it was even due. And I'm taking action against all of you. I have filed a complaint with 3b,s aganist Brothers Boxing and eFit I will contacting a lawery tmw. You said everyone was like family do you really treat your family this way? What you guys have done is Fraud and you know this. I don't care if your doors open tmw you broke your word and where I come from your word is more then GOLD.....

So how many here got them taking your money? The number to the credit company that debits your credit card is eFit Financial. Their number is 1-866-462-3348. I called them two days ago asking them to terminate my membership and they refused, citing that they have a contract with BoxingBrothers and that only way to cancel is through BoxingBrothers. This is of course highway robbery as they are taking money from you and offering no membership or service in return. They did say that they placed a hold on everyone's credit card till they hear from BoxingBrothers, which they haven't. I am sure if enough of you complain, we will probably get some resolution. I am going to Gold's now and do not need this gym anymore.

I was advised that all contracts were cancelled for Boxing Brothers however they can provide no refunds since they were only the facilitator of the bills and didn't collect the money. So future payments will not come out of your accounts.
trigirl08 (customer) on CitySearch
Just wanted to let everyone know that if you contact your Bank or Credit Card company, whatever one you used to pay for Boxing Brothers, and you can file a claim against e-fit financial and get at least a months back of membership dues. I have Wells Fargo and they filed a claim against e-fit financial, they made a stop payment and waived the 29 dollar fee, and I had my monthly dues back in my account in 9 days. E-fit financial will not refund any money because of their contract with the gym, but your bank will help you out!! Hope this helps!

All I have to say right now is "this is so sad for the members and one of the owners" . God Bless all the members and David. From Someone who knows what happened very well.
jemoniker (customer) on CitySearch
I do not know what happened to the demise of this gym. I know that people are out of money and that should not be marginalized, however I find it sad that people who benefited from the great classes and the gym's amazing attitude are now so angry. I lost money as well. But I would gladly double the loss if it could bring that gym back. If you think you can meet people as nice and as accommodating as the brother's then you are extremely mistaken. I always felt welcome and at home when I was there for the short amount of time I was there. I am forty and have been to so many gyms that I can honestly say they had the best attitude and best classes in Austin. Now I am stuck with having to go to one of these Hokey eastern philosophy "Martial Arts?" schools which are nothing more than karate schools retooled to seem more in touch with the current MMA kickboxing fitness movement. If I have to see another boring wood breaking exhibition I think I will be sick. I don?t care how Neat or deadly it is to fight with swords I would rather leave that to the choreographers in Kung Fu movies. The no nonsense practical approach to fitness through MMA and Kickboxing made the place seem more serious that an aerobics class and less macho and pretentious as some goofy guy asking you to call him sensei or sifu or other such junk. I don?t know what happened to the gym and I hope everything is alright for the brother's. I hold no animosity towards them and just want them to know they are sorely missed.
twilite (customer) on CitySearch
That is too bad to hear about this gym. Boxing and kickboxing where you can sweat without bowing to any master is a wonderful outlet for adults. Does anyone know if they plan to reopen, sell the gym or any of the equipment?
jllemons (customer) on CitySearch
I don't care what happened! The owners should've atleast shown enough respect to let their customers know with a sign or something what was going on. You know everything works out for a reason. I'm going to Bruce's boxing on Burnet rd off of 183 and it's a lot better. He actually teaches you the sport instead of just throwing you in with a cardio class and letting you do what you want (no offense to Domingo). The only drawback for those that were learning MMA is that he only teaches boxing. I've still lost a lot of weight though. He's also a lot tougher on you and his evening classes last longer than an hr.
jojo1920 (customer) on CitySearch
Can anyone here recommend another boxing gym near Cedar Park? I searched out LA Boxing but I guess they closed down...not sure.
noexcuses (customer) on CitySearch
My son had enjoyed the boxing with Domingo and working with Sursa. The family was nice all the times we went there and my husband and I enjoyed talking to Lou while our son worked out. BUT, there is absolutely no excuse for how they handled this situation - whatever that may be. I have been trying to get our mat back since October for our non-for-profit wrestling organization and the property management has been very difficult. The only response I received from Paul's wife was a short sorry - here is the property managment information and that came after considerably hounding on my behalf to get a response. The old saying goes...tough times test our true character.

does anybody know what will happen to that place ( as in will someone else take over and start a new gym there) or if they will re-open it again once they get their things figured out? also, can anyone recommend a good kickboxing gym in the same area as boxing bros was? i checked out the xfctraining center in the post a few down but it's pretty out of the way for me. i wish they had not closed, or at least given some notification that they were.
Luv2HitStuff (customer) on CitySearch
After the closing I looked all over Austin for a similar gym, but couldn't really find anything. Although it's definitely a different type of gym, I've started working out at XFC. They recently added cardio kickboxing classes to the schedule and have Janelle and Joseph (from boxing bros) teaching. They have a limited number of heavy bags, but in the near future are supposed to get a similar set up to boxing bros. XFC is only 10 minutes away from the old gym if you take Anderson Mill to 1431. Come by and give it a try. There are already a few ex-boxing bro members there but it would be great to have more. I miss everyone! It's not likely that Boxing Bros will reopen even under new ownership. I know a couple of people who checked into taking over the place, but the rent is extremely high and the landlord won't budge on it. The rent is over 11k per month with very high fees on top of that making it impossible for anyone to make a profit.

Hello former Boxing Brothers Members. Sorry to hear about the closing of the Boxing Brothers Gym as I enjoyed watching a few good fight nights over there in their former LA Boxing days. With the closing, I'd like to invite you to stop and check out the Academy of Martial Arts here in Austin. We have been an Austin area business for the last 10 years and recently relocated to a new location at 9705 of Burnet Rd Suite 608 in the Burnet Road Business Park. At the Academy of Martial Arts we offer American Kenpo Karate, Filipino Martial Arts (Kali / Escrima / Silat), Muay Thai Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts classes. Whether your interested in fitness, self defense, or you aspire to be the next champion we can accomodate you at the Academy of Martial Arts. Our goal at the school is to help students discover themselves and their talents in order to reach their full athletic potential. We invite you to come in and talk with our instructors and students and even watch a class. Each of our instructors are ranked instructors or black belts in their respective arts, as well as active competitors and trainers of fighters for events such as Strikeforce, IKF Kickboxing, and King of Kombat. We offer classes five days a week, the fees are very reasonable, and we NEVER require that you sign any financial contract. Classes tend to be sized right such that you are guaranteed to receive personal attention and real instruction and not just be left trying to figure things out in a typical cardio class. In fact, our instructors will be working the same drills right next to you! We may not have the same polished and fancy environment that Boxing Brothers did, but we assure you that you will not be disappointed in the any of classes, the level of fitness you exert, or the level of instruction. We look forward to seeing you at the Academy of Martial Arts! For more information, please call (512) 965-2791.

I really miss this place. Not sure if any of you guys remember me. My name is Xander, and I went here about 3 times a week for about 7 months (from Feb. til close of 2008). I'm still looking for a similar gym but haven't found one yet. If any of the old members want to contact me, please do. My email is my username here at yahoo. I want a gym that trains people to fight but also uses the same training for people just wanting to be in the SHAPE of a fighter.

Vintage Watch Restoration
No address listed
Phoenix, AZ
Phoenix, AZ
Best Of
We were rooting around in the family safe and came across Dad's old Bulova wristwatch. It had been Mom's wedding day gift to Dad in 1946 and it was dead as a doornail. We braced ourselves: Restoring a nearly 70-year-old watch would not only be costly, we figured, but might also mean dealing with some snotty weirdo who wanted to talk us into buying matching earrings or something else equally annoying. Boy, were we wrong. A quick Internet search for "vintage watch restoration Phoenix" turned up — huzzah! — a Phoenix-based service called Vintage Watch Restoration, which resulted in one of the best jewelry experiences we've ever had. In the watch-repair business since 2001, owner Bruno Park (a charming, French-speaking fellow from the island of Mauritius) not only came and picked up Dad's watch from our office, but ended up charging us less than his already-low estimate for repair and restoration. Park also accepts watches through the mail and reportedly does international business as a restorationist.

The above image has an image map defined with coordinates in percentage units. The IMG element has width=100% set. Intuitively, this would seem to mean the graphic image changes size when the width of the browser changes size; and that the image map coordinates would do the same. In most browsers, the coordinates of the map only align with the image when the image map is displayed with a one-to-one mapping of the file pixels to display pixels (Note this file's image is a 100x100 pixel file). This appears to be a commonly surprising failure, given the tradition of browsers trying to render HTML reasonably, even when confronted with syntax errors and ambiguities. Note that HTML5 does not appear to mention percent coordinates for AREA elements.
Click to make the pixel 100x100 and it will work; use the other buttons to see what your browser does. Can it reset to 100%? What size does it say the image is when it's at full screen size? Do the coordinates for the different areas rescale?
Note that most browsers take 100% to mean the allowed width of the element they are contained in. In this example CSS is used to request no border or padding around the sample image.
Another variation is whether the TITLE and ALT attribute values are displayed, and whether they show in the browser border, or at the mouse location as you enter a region. Some browsers show you the URL pointed to by the HREF= attribute of the region if it is present.

Video: College Day is Friday
"It encourages a dialogue with young people about college about the importance of college, the importance of expanding your education past high school and what you get out of it," said Dawn Taylor Ownes, executive director of College in Colorado.
She says a change of apparel can foster come friendly competition in offices, among different colleges.
"There is one engineering firm who has an office olympics between CU and CSU," she said.
The event also gives college graduates a good reason to help encourage young people who may think that college is out of their reach.
"We have a Denver businessman who raised money to take 35 students to a college campus for a tour," she said.
A few businesses are offering perks to anyone who wears college apparel on Friday. Qudoba promises free chips and queso to anyone entering a participating restaurant wearing college apparel. Cold Stone Creamery will give a free "Like It" sized ice cream to College Friday participants who come to participating locations between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Friday.

Vol 6 (3) - November 1994
Since the beginning of this century the clinico-pathological focus in Parkinson's disease has been on the substantia nigra. The finding that a shortage of dopamine was the most important factor and that supplementation with dopamine was the answer to many problems for patients, diverted energy from the search for the underlying causative factor.
Why do substantia nigra cells die?
The MPTP story in the early eighties revived the search for causative factors and directed attention to metabolic, mitochondrial, environmental and genetic factors. Mizuno and collaborators did a lot of the pioneeering work, together with some other centers in the world, on unravelling the role of the mitochondria. They showed that mitochondria played an important role, but was the the only contributory factor.

(a) Response
(1) Working group
(A) The Secretary, acting through the Office, shall establish, in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior, a marine mammal unusual mortality event working group, consisting of individuals with knowledge and experience in marine science, marine mammal science, marine mammal veterinary and husbandry practices, marine conservation, and medical science, to provide guidance to the Secretary and the Secretary of the Interior for—
(ii) determining, after an unusual mortality event has begun, if response actions with respect to that event are no longer necessary; and
(2) Response timing
The Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior, shall to the extent necessary and practicable—
(A) within 24 hours after receiving notification from a stranding network participant that an unusual mortality event might be occurring, contact as many members as is possible of the unusual mortality event working group for guidance; and
(B) within 48 hours after receiving such notification—
(b) Contingency plan
(1) In general
The Secretary shall, in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior and the unusual mortality event working group, and after an opportunity for public review and comment, issue a detailed contingency plan for responding to any unusual mortality event.
(2) Contents
The contingency plan required under this subsection shall include—
(A) a list of persons, including stranding network participants, at a regional, State, and local level, who can assist the Secretary in implementing a coordinated and effective response to an unusual mortality event;
(B) the types of marine mammal tissues and analyses necessary to assist in diagnosing causes of unusual mortality events;
(C) training, mobilization, and utilization procedures for available personnel, facilities, and other resources necessary to conduct a rapid and effective response to unusual mortality events; and

I recently gave a talk for the Christchurch .net User Group at the Epic centre (http://www.meetup.com/Christchurch-Net-User-Group/events/134963672/). I spoke about what ETL is and went through a number of worked examples showing how to apply RhinoETL.
I think the Data Anonymiser example was particularly well-received.
I have put the slide deck and the example source code up here for everyone. Please let me know if you find this useful.
function initiate() {
var elem = document.getElementById('canvas');
canvas = elem.getContext('2d');
window.addEventListener("load", initiate, false);
function draw50ShadedBoxes() {
var boxesdrawn=0;
var x = 1;
var y = 1;
var width = 50;
var height = 50;
var separation=75;
var greyness = 10;
var col = "hsl(10, 50%, " + greyness + "%)";
for (y; y <= 8; y += 1) {
for (x; x <= 7; x += 1) {
if (boxesdrawn == 50) {
var x1 = x * separation;
var y1 = y * separation;
greyness += 1;
col = "hsl(10, 0%, " + greyness + "%)";
canvas.fillStyle = col;

I attended WDC2012 last week and had a great time. Douglas Crockford's presentation was probably the highlight for me. These are my thoughts on one particular meme from his talk - 'The Abyss' ...
Douglas described this as the time that developers spend doing non-productive work when trying to debug/identify an issue or bug. Due to the strange psychology of developers, we are so used to being in 'The Abyss' that we hardly even notice going into it, just the feeling of euphoria from escaping and fixing the problem.
Being unaware of 'The Abyss' causes a kind of blindness preventing developers from learning from the mistakes. We just fix the problem and move on. However, programs fail due to predictable bugs caused by common and predictable programming practices.
Douglas recommends that we take time to reflect deeply on our experiences in 'The Abyss' and learn (This sounds obvious, but I'm so busy I don't have time!). Through this reflection, Douglas has observated that simple changes to one's programming style make it possible to eliminate entire classes of bugs.
An example given by Douglas was: never use ++i / or i++ as it is likely that sometimes you (or someone maintaining the code in the future) are going to get caught out by whether it's pre/post increment. Instead just use i+=1 and the issue never arises.
An example given by Douglas was: never use ++i / or i++ as it is likely that sometimes you (or someone maintaining the code in the future) are going to get caught out by whether it's pre/post increment. Instead just use i+=1 and the issue never arises.
So I'm going to try the following if I find myself stuck in the 'Abyss':
Recently I spent ages trying to work out why Windows authentication wasn't working with a recently deployed website. It turns out that because I did the deployment by hand, I'd forgotten to check an option in IIS.
Learning outcome:
Deploying websites by hand is dumb, it's time consuming and error prone. Invest in automation and you can be sure it's done right.
Thanks Douglas!
I went to the .net User's group meeting today, where the discussion was about MVC.
Afterwards I had a chat with a few folks about how Microsoft was doing with Windows 8 (after trying the developer preview).
My thoughts:
I've got Cambridge Sound works analog speakers (DT2200) 5.1 system from about 2001 still going strong (about the only thing about my PC that hasn't changed). The mini speakers and subwoofer are really great, I use 3 of them L,R,C and don't bother with rear speakers as it's quite a lot of wires.
Anyway, just now the sound stopped working. I've just spent an hour trying to workout why. I went through all the obvious stuff like:
Then I tried a few more esoteric solutions:
No luck. Just as I was about to give up, I realised:
The volume control dial on my speakers also has an adjustment for Front/Rear speaker balance. A certain small child had obviously 'played' with this while I was away, and adjusted it so that the balance was 100% rear speakers (which aren't plugged in).
So my suggestion to Microsoft is they add a step to their troubleshooting wizard:
- Have you checked that small children haven't fiddled with the front/rear speaker balance setting
Anyway, I thought I'd post this in case it helps anyone else with the same problem.
I was playing around with TDD again. It highlighted to me just how bad a very simple and correct looking function can be.
In maths, Factorial(n) is written n!, so Factorial(10) is the same as 10!.
1! =12! =1*2=23! =1*2*3=6n! = n * n-1 * n-2 * ... * 1
I wrote this function without TDD to calculate the nth Factorial number recursively:
public static long FactorialRecursive(int index)
if (index==1)
return 1;
return index * FactorialRecursive(--index);
I then rewrote the function using TDD. I discovered 4 quite serious bugs in the above code, see if you can find them (answers in my next post, although I expect there will be others that I've missed too). I also tried a radically different approach to writing the function, how would you write it?
I just recently left one of my EC2 compute instances running for a week without meaning to - this gave me an extra $20 bill. Not the biggest in the world, but still annoying if you don't need to pay for it.
For my automated build server, I only need EC2 instances a couple of hours at a time never more than a day. So as a precaution:
I've just been updating my CV with my latest experience. I noticed that I've got a lot of different versions of it kicking around at different dates and basically all these files were becoming a bit of a pain.
I've been using Mercurial (and FogCreek's Kiln offering hosted Mercurial) for Version Control lately (on personal and work projects) and it struck me as a good idea to put my CV into it's own mini repository. Having a local copy cloned to the cloud means it's backed up too.
I've got a plain text version which allows me to see the changes between versions.
I just recently received a free home energy monitor pack from E.on. This is a great deal, they send you a free box with a transmitter that attaches to your mains fuse box and a wireless monitor device that you put somewhere handy in your house. This lets you easily see at a glance how many watts you are using at any one time and how many KwH you have consumed in the past day / week / month.
So great, we can all use these boxes to monitor how much energy we are using and can find easy ways to cut down and save the planet.
The wireless monitor box comes with a USB lead and cd to install PC based client software. This is to enable you to download data from the wireless monitor/collector via USB into your PC, enabling you to do more sophisticated analysis of your energy usage.
The downside is that each client install requires a SQL Server 2005 Express install. This is in my opinion slightly overkill for logging a bit of data about your energy usage!
Here is a game that I played back in 2007 and won the best game prize of the tournament.
After mishandling the opening as black, I managed to gain the initiative with my 14th move. Black's 18th move wins the game with an unexpected move.

In Cambodia youth unemployment and low levels skills lead directly to serious societal problems, but the recipients our EYC's scholarship program are not only exceptions to this all too common scenario, they are showing an example to other youth and children from slum communities that through education they can break the cycle. Please support the students that EYC is working to build up and make leaders.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
During Cambodia's genocide during the Khmer Rouge (1975 - 1979) most educated people were killed off leaving the country lacking the necessary resources. Cambodia needs young leaders who care. This project will provide monthly support to 6 grade-12 students, 8 first-year university students, and continued support for 10 university students to continue past their first year.
How will this project solve this problem?
By investing in young people to get higher education they will almost certainly break the cycle of poverty, and will be resources to develop their country equitably.
Potential Long Term Impact
With education comes the ability to access resources and greater self-learning, so a lifetime of growing and building their country.
