I have a Win8 app with a custom control, GameView, which I have instantiated three times (as gvMap, gvOurBase, and gvEnemyBase) on my page, and placed into a grid. I need to get the actual size of the control so I can set the RenderTransform and render everything with the proper scaling.
However, whenever I attempt to get the
ActualWidth or
ActualHeight of my controls, I always get zero. This occurs even if I wait until the page is loaded and call Measure and Arrange on my controls.
How can I get the size of my controls? Or am I not allowed to do this while they are in a grid? Is there another way for me to do the RenderTransform that doesn't rely on the size of the controls? I want each control to show a specific section of the whole game map - gvMap shows the whole map, gvOurBase shows the section of the map that the player has cities, and gvEnemyBase shows the section of the map that the enemy has cities.

I'm a current resident of Carmel Village (VoM), and have been for the past 7 months or so now. No complaints really as the area is really nice and quiet, maintenance services are quick and on time, personnel and staff here are also friendly and hospitable. Additionally, the neighbors around the area seem okay as well. No real problem

The n-od is defined to be the set of all complex numbers z such that zn is a real number in the interval [0,1], i.e., a central point with n copies of the unit interval attached at their endpoints. Given a space X and a function f:X → X, Per (f) is defined to be the set {k: f has for a point of (least) period k, k a positive integer}. The main result of this paper is to give, for each n, a complete characterization of all possible sets Per (f), where f ranges over all continuous functions on the n-od.

With the final race weekend of the MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Championship presented by Motul coming up quickly in less than 2 weeks, we are due for a much needed recap and what the teams have been busy working on in preperation for the final round of the season. Let's take a closer look at the last race weekend which ultimately shaped the close championship points chase.

The Small Block Chevy is a dead outdated hunk of iron that is best left to old guys puttering around restoring muscle cars in their garages, or is it?
The venerable Small Block Chevy was first introduced to the motoring public in 1954 and was installed on the assembly line until 2003 and is still in production as a replacement motor. This means that the good old small block has been around for 60 years, making it one of the longest lived and most produced engines of all time with over 100,000,000 being built to date.
A few weeks ago we got to get a close look at the car that we think is perhaps the most radical and innovative drift car ever built, Mad Mike Whiddett's Radbul Mazda MX-5. After a 5 year absence, Mad Mike is back on the US drift scene with a car built for today's exceedingly competitive Formula D environment.

Let's preface this article with the following statement: Yes, we know MotoIQ's readership are not NASCAR fans. But when we saw this motor sitting on a stand at the Chevrolet booth, we got intrigued. It turns out while we weren't paying attention, NASCAR teams have been sneakily turning their stock cars into full blown racing monsters! Chevy's NASCAR engine is really advanced, despite being limited by NASCAR's rules. Tanner Foust and Papadakis Racing realized the potential of these NASCAR motors and slipped a TRD unit into Tanner's old and very controversial Scion tC. Unfortunately the juiciest bits were hidden away, but we learned some rather interesting things while we looked around.

Last weekend the Rally America circus rolled into Detroit Lakes, MN for the Ojibwe Forest Rally, the seventh of an eight event National Championship. Over the course of Friday and Saturday some of the series top competitors would race through more than 130 miles of fast dirt and gravel roads, encompassing a total of fifteen individual stages. The fast and smooth roads of northern Minnesota proved to be quite dry and loose, with lingering dust clouds creating minor visibility issues for all but those at the front of the pack. Dense forests and countless kettle lakes threaten to crush the aspirations of any driver overzealous enough to tempt fate.
It takes balls to tear into a brand new car and turn it into a race car but that's exactly what the owner of our Project Fiesta did after just a short few thousand miles of street driving. First it was the track day bug and now the car will be campaigned in our MPTCC race series in the TU class!
Our Ford Fiesta ST's conversion to a full time track car at SPD Motorsports is moving along and we are almost ready to address the motor with a bunch of parts from mountune. The craftsmanship and attention to detail of SPD's Scott Dodgion is superb. What is also cool is Scott's ability to do great work within a reasonable budget. We are getting excited as our car is getting closer and closer toward it's track debut. It will probably be one of the first racing Fiesta ST's in the country. Check it out!
Scion Racing
In 2015, we returned to the famous race along with Mackin Industries, Evasive Motorsports and GReddy Racing, enlisting Robert Walker to pilot the Mackin Scion FR-S, which has been specially rebuilt for the rigors the car was put through on such a challenging event. Enjoy the sights and sounds as the Mackin FR-S tackles the infamous Pikes Peak. Check it out and check out the link to our story on the car inside!

Back in 2005, Ford brought back the Ford GT as a halo car. Ten years later, Ford dropped a new GT at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. It features a carbon fiber monocoque with a 3.5L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine not far removed from the Roush Yates engine used in the IMSA Daytona Prototypes. So it came as no surprise when Ford showed off a race version at the 2015 24 Heures du Mans. After all, being in France, there's the whole romance of 2016 being 50 years since Ford won Le Mans. There's not much in the way of photos, but we can glean a little bit in what it takes to convert a street car into an endurance race car.

Oscar Mayer Rolls Out Pulled Pork
Mark Damon Puckett
Mark Damon Puckett
Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
Most Recent
Earlier this week, renowned pitmaster Brad Orrison, of Mississippi's The Shed BBQ and Food Network's Best in Smoke, stopped by The Daily Meal offices to whip up some "walking tacos" showcasing his barbecue sauce along with Oscar Mayer's newest product, pulled pork.
As a part of their new "Carving Board" line of products (which also includes chicken breast, turkey breast, roast beef, and ham), pulled pork is a no-brainer. Just pop it in the microwave with some sauce, load it up onto a roll, and you've got dinner. Orrison took a decidedly different approach, though, opening up a bag of BBQ potato chips and adding in the pork, his restaurant's signature sauce, black olives, and coleslaw. They call it "Pork by Fork."
So how does the new product measure up? You won't confuse it with real down-home country barbecue, but it certainly gets the job done. The hickory smoke flavor comes through, and there are big chunks of pork (complete with bark) in each 11.5-ounce container. I wouldn't try to fool your friends with it, but as far as grocery store smoked pulled pork goes, Oscar Mayer's was a pleasant surprise.

Beady Eye Break Up
By Evan Minsker on October 25, 2014 at 3:54 p.m. EDT
According to Liam Gallagher, his band Beady Eye—featuring the members of Oasis who aren't Noel—have called it a day. The band released two albums: 2011's Different Gear, Still Speeding and 2013's BE. Earlier this year, they canceled their Coachella appearances and split with their manager.
Damon Albarn Teases Blur Dates, New Gorillaz Album, Noel Gallagher Collaboration
By Jeremy Gordon on April 10, 2014 at 10:45 a.m. EDT
Damon Albarn is a busy guy. In addition to his forthcoming solo album Everyday Robots, which is out on April 29, he's teased a handful of new projects in an interview with NME.
Watch Damon Albarn, Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller, and Graham Coxon Perform Together
By Carrie Battan on March 25, 2013 at 11:15 a.m. EDT
This weekend brought historically feuding Brit-pop titans together on stage in the name of a greater cause. Billboard points to a clip of Blur's Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon, Paul Weller, and Oasis' Noel Gallagher onstage during a benefit concert for Teenage Cancer Trust (Gallagher curates some of its charity events) at London's Royal Albert Hall. They performed Blur cut "Tender" together. Liam is nowhere to be found, though.
Gallagher Brothers Resume Legal Disputes Surrounding Oasis Breakup
By Jenn Pelly on November 21, 2011 at 4:43 p.m. EST
The Gallagher brothers have resumed the legal disputes surrounding the 2009 breakup of Oasis, according to new court reports printed in the Daily Mirror (via NME). According to the documents, Noel has accused his brother Liam of leaving "offensive" messages on his wife's voicemail, acting "irresponsibly" towards Oasis fans, and attempting to attack him with a guitar backstage in 2009-- the event that supposedly broke up the band.
Liam Gallagher Drops Lawsuit Against Noel
By Larry Fitzmaurice on August 24, 2011 at 11:40 a.m. EDT
Well, that was fast. On Friday, we reported that Liam Gallagher was suing his brother and former Oasis bandmate Noel for "questioning [his] professionalism" by telling journalists at a July press conference that Oasis pulled out of a 2009 V Festival gig because Liam was hungover. (Liam says that he had laryngitis.) As you might recall, Liam told the BBC, "All I want is an apology." And an apology he got.
Liam Gallagher Sues Noel Gallagher For Libel
By Brandon Stosuy on August 19, 2011 at 12:30 p.m. EDT
As BBC News reports, the Gallaghers are at it again. This time, Liam-- who currently fronts Beady Eye, a band featuring everyone from Oasis except his brother-- is suing Noel for "questioning [his] professionalism" by telling journalists at a July press conference that Oasis pulled out of a 2009 V Festival gig because Liam was hungover. (At the time of the festival, the official explanation was that Liam had laryngitis, which he maintains was the truth, according to the BBC. Oasis officially called it quits later that year.)
Noel Gallagher Announces Two Solo Albums
By Tom Breihan on July 6, 2011 at 12:15 p.m. EDT
Photo by Lawrence Watson
Nearly two years ago, Oasis split acrimoniously. Since that time, co-leader and principal songwriter Noel Gallagher has remained largely silent while brother Liam has started Beady Eye, essentially a Noel-free version of Oasis. This morning at a press conference in London, Noel announced his own plans: two new solo albums, the first of which is called Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and will see release October 17 in the UK via Noel's own Sour Mash imprint, with a U.S. release coming November 8 on Sour Mash/Mercury. (As NME points out, Liam had a predictably assholish response to his brother's announcement.)
We've got the tracklist below, as well as the video for the Noel-sung Oasis classic "Don't Look Back in Anger".
Daft Punk do Star Wars for Adidas
By Ryan Dombal on June 4, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. EDT
The Star Wars cantina scene is sacred cinema, but Adidas went ahead and remade it for their current World Cup ad campaign, as Prefix points out. Seems mighty risky, but-- amazingly-- they pulled it off... with some help from Daft Punk.
The new cut seamlessly combines the original footage with new shots of our favorite electro-house droids, Snoop Dogg, Noel Gallagher, Ciara, David Beckham, Ian Brown and more. As far as we can tell, Daft Punk did not remix the original cantina music, though. Watch the new ad and the source footage below:
Noel Gallagher Attacker Pleads Guilty
By Tom Breihan on November 23, 2009 at 11:30 a.m. EST
Last September, Oasis' set at the Toronto stop of the Virgin Festival was interrupted when an audience member jumped onstage and shoved Noel Gallagher to the ground. He was on his way to take on brother Liam when security tackled him. The incident resulted in three broken ribs for Noel, and the band had to cancel a number of shows. The attacker, a 47-year-old man named Daniel Sullivan, was arrested.
As the Toronto Sun reports (via NME), last week, Sullivan pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm. He is set to be sentenced on February 5, 2010.
Liam Gallagher Confirms Oasis Split
By Tom Breihan on October 8, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. EDT
Back in August, we reported that Noel Gallagher had quit Oasis, issuing a brief statement that he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer." Given that Noel served as the band's co-frontman and its guiding artistic force, it was tough to picture Oasis soldiering on without him. But up until now, we hadn't heard whether the band had ended or not.
In an interview with the London Times (via Billboard), Liam confirmed that Oasis is kaput: "Well, Oasis is no longer. I think we all know that. So that's done."

to connect with Earth through the sensual textures of her sand,
to be defined by the ocean's breeze's slight touch in her passing
for the loneliness at dusk without the sea is overpowering

Leti, innovation
for industry
This year, LetiDay Tokyo will focus on photonics, technology for the future of the automotive industry and Leti's vision for the future of innovation.
En octobre 2015, le CEA célèbre ses 70 ans. A cette occasion, découvrez sept décennies de recherches et d'innovations au service de grands enjeux sociétaux et industriels via des contenus inédits (animations, actualités, vidéos, visites virtuelles de laboratoires du CEA comme si vous y étiez...) sur un site spécialement dédié.
Leti's Direction joins Leti/DCOS Division's VP in congratulating Sylvain Barraud for winning the 2014 IEEE EDS Paul Rappaport Award for his work in multi-Core/Shell-(SiGe/Si) nanowire transistors. This award recognizes the best scientific paper targeting IEEE transactions on electron devices. The article was selected from more than 600 papers published in 2014.
LETI, Imec and other partners have successfully completed a three-year program (2012 - 2015) making more accessible a variety of silicon photonics technologies for industry and academia worldwide.
London, July 15 2015 – mmMAGIC, an international consortium led by Samsung and bringing together key vendors and major European operators has kicked off its race to develop concepts and key components for a new 5G mobile radio access technology which is expected to operate in a range of frequency bands between 6 and 100 GHz, including mm-Wave frequencies. The use of such extremely high frequencies for mobile communications is challenging but necessary for supporting 5G's extreme mobile broadband service which will require very high (up to 10 Gbps) data rates, and in some scenarios, also very low end-to-end latencies (less than 5 ms). The project aims to accelerate standardisation of millimeter wave technologies for 5G so that the industry and citizens will benefit from commercialisation by 2020.
Simon Deleonibus, Research Director at CEA Leti's Components and technology division, has been selected Fellow of The Electrochemical Society (ECS), class 2015, in recognition of his world-class career. This is a mark of high distinction conferred by his peers in recognition of his scientific achievement throughout his carrier and service to the ECS.

Audit shows Oklahoma state Education Department used a "front organization" to host a conference
Oklahoma State Auditor Gary Jones said the state Education Department under state Superintendent Janet Barresi used personnel in a questionable and likely inappropriate manner to solicit and spend more than $200,000 for an education conference in 2011.
Barresi said that she accepts the findings of the audit.
"I was the one that asked for the audit and I appreciate the thorough work that Auditor Jones did," Barresi said. "While these were procedures that were used in the past, we have new guidelines in place that are very strict and very precise."
Barresi said the department is ready to move forward.
The last education conference the department held was paid for almost entirely by state funds or donations accepted by the Education Board on behalf of the state, Barresi said.
