Pitcairn man pleads guilty to causing fatal hit-and-run crash
The mother of a Homewood man who was struck and killed by a motorist last summer said she is still mourning the death of her son.
"It's been terrible," said Glenice Price, 77, of Homewood. "Every day is worse."
Price said she got no satisfaction on Tuesday when a judge sentenced Jeffrey McClure, 29, of Pitcairn to 2 1⁄2 to five years in prison in the July 25 death of James Price, 46.
"He'll be out and he'll be walking, and my son will be gone," she said.
McClure pleaded guilty to one count each of accidents involving death or injury and accidents involving death or injury while not properly licensed. The sentence, which includes eight years on probation, was part of a plea agreement with the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office.
Police said Price was taking his daily bicycle ride through the East End when McClure hit him on Penn Avenue near Penfield Court in Point Breeze. McClure fled the scene, but police apprehended him two weeks later after receiving a tip he was involved. He later confessed.
Scott Bricker, executive director of BikePGH, a bicyclist advocacy group, said there is a sentiment in the bicycling community that McClure's punishment was too light.
"These things happen far too often, and people lose loved ones and people's lives are ruined. (The sentencing) is good news for this one case, but there's a lot of cases and there's a lot of work to do before we can claim our streets are truly safe places," he said.

Data is everyone's domain. In any facet of marketing, media, or PR, data is your responsibility and should be a meta skill like writing a persuasive email or giving a presentation.
While I was on the agency-side, I contributed a guest post for the popular blog Copyblogger on the fact that copywriters need to understand data. Their editors changed my headline to be more provocative than I had originally written (they threw in the "get out of the business" if you don't understand data part) but they have a point. Copywriters who aren't data-driven may soon find demand for their skills fade because the business world continues shifting from "tell me" to "show me" - where ability to prove one's results with solid data is equally important as having traditional proof points such as references and a strong client list.
While the post linked above is a few years old, I linked to it on purpose because I think I was a bit ahead of myself with data-driven copywriters, particularly for content marketers and media. But now, we've started to see that come to fruition: copywriters are becoming amazing at using data to get better. We've seen smart folk on the brand side such as Buffer use data to get better at their content marketing and media brands such as BuzzFeed employ a data scientist to increase sharing of their stories. Both of these brands are doing amazingly well.
After recent travels to speak to professionals across a variety of marketing disciplines, I have been thinking a bit more about fluency in data and I think it's reached the point where data is everyone's domain. Basically, in any facet of marketing, media, or PR, data is your responsibility, even that of traditionally more creative areas like copywriting. It's a meta skill, like writing a persuasive email, giving a presentation, creating a narrative, or anything else you'd expect a communications person to be able to do. Anyway, with the fact that you can now easily get feedback on your activities, to not do so is to ignore a powerful mechanism to improve and says a lot.
What I think is especially strange (or concerning, depending on who you ask) is that some people in communications still think digital is hard to measure. My blood pressure almost always increases when I hear that of course. Digital is easier to measure, you just need to understand what metrics matter and have the right tools setup at the start.
Why should data be a meta skill? Let me throw some questions at you:
Did you know all the answers? If yes, you're probably an analytics Jedi. If no, or someone on your team doesn't know, you should bring them up to speed. Knowing the answers to the questions that matter for your brand (above are just samples to get you thinking) are necessary to focus on what matters.
There are too many potential tactics and ideas you could implement digitally, like paid search, email marketing, display, etc. It is actually what you don't do that defines your digital marketing success. And data is the key to focus your efforts on what's working. You can't consistently improve results or be at all strategic in your marketing and PR if you don't know what's producing (and why) and how to report results meaningfully to make a case for more budget and iterate/refine. Thankfully there are plenty of resources to get you started on making data-driven decisions today.

Ever since the days on which my children were born, perhaps even while they were in the womb, there has been music and singing in our home. All types of music, including classical, jazz, pop, baby songs, and nursery rhymes, to name just a few styles, have always been prevalent in our home.
Of course, my kids have also had to tolerate their dad's singing ALL OF THE TIME around the house, sometimes seriously, sometimes with a silly voice, sometimes singing real songs with substitute lyrics about our family or individual members, and, well, you get the idea. There has been music and singing of some type in our home every single day (of course, I had to promise my kids that I would hold off singing while their friends were in the house — a vow that I have kept ... most of the time!).
As my oldest child, my daughter has been the recipient of, or has bore the brunt of, the most of my continuous singing. However, as annoying as she sometimes claims that it is, we used to sing all types of songs around the house and sometimes we still do. In fact, a few years ago, she took vocal lessons to go with her dancing skills and she now works as an entertainer during the summer months in musical theater. (Of course, as I have shared with her, I take full credit for her singing and dancing skills — she listened to me and she watched me carefully a million times. ...And then concentrated on doing the opposite).
At any rate, as much as we have shared music during her life, we had never actually sung together in public. Until a recent Sunday on which we sang a Praise and Worship duet to Jesus, titled, "I Will Run to You".
So, before the entire congregation and the Lord Himself, my daughter, with whom I have shared silly songs since her birth, stood up next to me and we vocalized together for the first time in public.
This is the same girl who used to hug me before I left the home to "go make music" and then wanted to hear all about it the next day. This is the same girl who used to get ticked off when I changed lyrics to popular songs — but then came to realize that her dad just might earn the "Silly Dad of the Year" award someday. As such, she learned to laugh and share in the joy of the lyrics about our family and life situatio
And, this is the same girl — all grown up now — who actually gave me some vocal lessons during our rehearsal time together,
Yes, the music field used to be all mine in the family, but now I, with terrific fatherly love and satisfaction, gleefully share the spotlight with my beautiful daughter (actually I now stand in her shadow).
While people used to say things such as, "That guy is a good singer" or "That guy is a good musician", I wouldn't be surprised if some people now say, "Hey, who is that old dude next to that beautiful young lady with the great singing voice. Oh, he must be her manager or her dad."
Yes, from the humble beginnings of a dad singing silly songs to her in the womb, my daughter has grown up, developed tremendous talent of her own, gives her dad singing lessons and stands beside him as they sing to the Lord. Wow, life and God are awesome!

At Reasult we develop financial forecasting software for the Real Estate sector. We have to deal with a lof of numeric input values in our WPF applications.
Al lot of our customers are used to work with Microsoft Excel. When in Excel the decimal key on the numeric keyboard is pressed always the decimal separator specfied in the regional settings is used. This is not the way a normal Windows (WPF) application handles this key.
With the following piece of code you get the same behavior as Excel.
public class DecimalKeyTextBox : TextBox { protected override void OnKeyDown(System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.Key == Key.Decimal) { e.Handled = true; string decimalSeparator = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator; TextCompositionManager.StartComposition(new TextComposition(InputManager.Current, this, decimalSeparator)); } base.OnKeyDown(e); } }
Whenever the decimal key on the numeric keyboard is pressed the event is cancelled and the decimal separator specified in the regional settings is used.
In the previous post I wrote how to use the Microsoft ReportViewer with a report and a subreport in a WPF application. In this post I'am going to describe how you can localize a RDLC report because out of the box there is no support for localization. With localization I mean that all the labels, table headers, etc are being translated depending on a language setting in the application.
Because a RDLC report is just an ordinary XML file we execute the following steps to translate a report:
- load the report in a XML Document object
- find all the nodes with a specific attribute
- the value of this attribute is the actually name of a term in a resource file (*.resx)
- replace the value of this node with value retrieved from the resource file
I use the Visual Studio solution of my previous post about the ReportViewer as a starting point.
The report TextBox control has a property called ValueLocID. This property we use to store the name of a translated term which is stored in a resource file.
In the XML of the RDLC report the TextBox control property ValueLocID is stored in the LocID attribute of a Value element. The value of this attribute we are going to use to translate and replace the innerText of the Value element.
<Textbox Name="Textbox1"> <CanGrow>true</CanGrow> <KeepTogether>true</KeepTogether> <Paragraphs> <Paragraph> <TextRuns> <TextRun> <Value rd:LocID="Customer">Customer:</Value> <Style> <FontWeight>Bold</FontWeight> </Style> </TextRun> </TextRuns> <Style /> </Paragraph> </Paragraphs> </Textbox>
Before the report is loaded into the ReportViewer we are going to translate the report with a helper class. In line 16 we load the report definition as a Stream object. This Stream object is the input for the TranslateReport method of the RdlcReportHelper class. The same steps are done for the subreport. In line 11 we set the current UI culture to Dutch (Netherlands) so all the TextBox controls which have a value set for the ValueLocID property are translated into Dutch.
void MainWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { // get the customers from the OData service IEnumerable<Customer> customers = Repository.GetCustomers(); // get a reference to the WinForms ReportViewer control Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer reportViewer = (Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer)windowsFormsHost.Child; // subscribe to SubreportProcessing event for passing the related Orders data reportViewer.LocalReport.SubreportProcessing += new SubreportProcessingEventHandler(LocalReport_SubreportProcessing); // Change the CurrentUICulture to Dutch (Netherlands) Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("nl-NL"); // the report is included as an embedded resource in the assembly // load the report as a stream from the assembly Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); Stream reportStream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Wpf.ReportViewer.CustomerReport.rdlc"); // translate the report reportStream = RdlcReportHelper.TranslateReport(reportStream); // load the report reportViewer.LocalReport.LoadReportDefinition(reportStream); Stream subreportStream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Wpf.ReportViewer.OrdersReport.rdlc"); // translate the subreport subreportStream = RdlcReportHelper.TranslateReport(subreportStream); // load the subreport reportViewer.LocalReport.LoadSubreportDefinition("Wpf.ReportViewer.OrdersReport.rdlc", subreportStream); // the CustomerReport has one dataset which must be filled reportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("CustomerDataset", customers)); // now let the ReportViewer render the report reportViewer.RefreshReport(); }
In the TranslateReport method of the RdlcReportHelper class we create a XDocument object from the Stream object. Then we iterate through all the Value elements. If a Value element has a LocID attribute we trying to find the translated term in a resource file using the value of the attribute.
public static class RdlcReportHelper { public static Stream TranslateReport(Stream reportStream) { XDocument reportXml = XDocument.Load(reportStream); foreach (var element in reportXml.Descendants(XName.Get("Value", @"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition"))) { XAttribute attribute = element.Attribute(XName.Get("LocID", @"http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner")); if (attribute != null) { string translatedValue = Resources.ReportResources.ResourceManager.GetString(attribute.Value); element.Value = string.IsNullOrEmpty(translatedValue) ? element.Value : translatedValue; } } Stream ms = new MemoryStream(); reportXml.Save(ms, SaveOptions.OmitDuplicateNamespaces); ms.Position = 0; return ms; } }

Showing a report with a subreport in the ReportViewer control which has a OData service as datasource in a WPF application
The Microsoft ReportViewer control is a powerfull control for embedding reports in a .Net application. There are two versions of this control: a WinForms version and a WebForms (Asp.Net) version. Unfortunately there is no native WPF version available at this moment but it is possible to use this control in a WPF application as explained later in this post.
The ReportViewer control has a number of advantages:
– is a freely redistributable component
– is able to show RDLC (Report Definition Language Client-side) format reports when the control is in local mode
– is able to show RDL ((Report Definition Language) format reports from a SQL Service Reporting Service (SSRS) when the control is in remote mode
– can export reports to Excel, PDF and Word (and additional formats when running in remote mode) without having Excel, Adobe Reader or Word installed
– supports print preview
In this post I'am going to show how to:
– use the ReportViewer control in a WPF application
– use an OData service as a datasource for the report
– use a report with a sub report
Using the ReportViewer control in a WPF application
As mentioned before the ReportViewer control is not available as a native WPF control but only as a WinForms and WebForms control. With the WPF WindowsFormsHost control is possible to host WinForms controls in a WPF application so also the WinForms ReportViewer control.
To use the WindowsFormsHost control together with the WinForms ReportViewer control you must add references to the following assemblies:
– WindowsFormsIntegration
– System.Windows.Forms
– Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms
After adding the references you can use the ReportViewer control in XAML.
<Window x:Class="Wpf.ReportViewer.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:windowsFormsIntegration="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms.Integration;assembly=WindowsFormsIntegration" xmlns:winForms="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms;assembly=Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> <Grid> <windowsFormsIntegration:WindowsFormsHost x:Name="windowsFormsHost"> <winForms:ReportViewer> </winForms:ReportViewer> </windowsFormsIntegration:WindowsFormsHost> </Grid> </Window>
Using an OData service as datasource
The RDLC reports can use many different sources as datasource. In this post I'am using the public available Northwind OData service as datasource. To use this service add a service reference in a Visual Studio project (in my case a WPF application) to http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc.To retrieve data from this datasource I created a Repository class which is responsible for communicating with the service.
public static class Repository { public static IEnumerable<Customer> GetCustomers() { return NorthwindEntitiesDataService.Customers; } public static IEnumerable<Order> GetOrdersForCustomer(string customerId) { return NorthwindEntitiesDataService.Orders.Where(o => o.CustomerID == customerId).Take(5); } private static NorthwindEntities _NorthwindEntitiesDataService; private static NorthwindEntities NorthwindEntitiesDataService { get { if (_NorthwindEntitiesDataService == null) { _NorthwindEntitiesDataService = new NorthwindEntities(new Uri(@"http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc")); } return _NorthwindEntitiesDataService; } } }
This Repository class will be used later in this post.
Report with a subreport
We will use two reports: a (main) report which shows customers (CustomerReport.rdlc) and a subreport (OrdersReport.rdlc) which shows the related orders. The CustomerReport uses the Customer dataset from the service reference as datasource and the OrdersReport will use the Customer (Orders) dataset as datasource.
In the subreport a parameter (CustomerIdParameter) is defined which is used for passing the customer Id from the CustomerReport to the OrdersReport (subreport) so the related orders can be retrieved and shown.
This parameter has to be filled in the CustomerReport. Therefore we have to specify in the properties of the subreport in the CustomerReport which field from the customer dataset is used for filling this parameter.
The reports are now ready to show the data. The last thing we have to do is telling the ReportViewer control to show this report. We already placed the ReportViewer control in a XAML file. In the code behind of the XAML file we have to add some code.
public partial class MainWindow : Window { public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(MainWindow_Loaded); } void MainWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { // get the customers from the OData service IEnumerable<Customer> customers = Repository.GetCustomers(); // get a reference to the WinForms ReportViewer control Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer reportViewer = (Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer)windowsFormsHost.Child; // subscribe to SubreportProcessing event for passing the related Orders data reportViewer.LocalReport.SubreportProcessing += new SubreportProcessingEventHandler(LocalReport_SubreportProcessing); // the report is included as an embedded resource in the assembly // use the full name reportViewer.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "Wpf.ReportViewer.CustomerReport.rdlc"; // the CustomerReport has one dataset which must be filled reportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("CustomerDataset", customers)); // now let the ReportViewer render the report reportViewer.RefreshReport(); } void LocalReport_SubreportProcessing(object sender, SubreportProcessingEventArgs e) { // our subreport has only 1 parameter string customerId = e.Parameters["CustomerIdParameter"].Values[0]; // our subreport has only 1 dataset string dataSourceName = e.DataSourceNames[0]; // get the orders for the current customer IEnumerable<Order> orders = Repository.GetOrdersForCustomer(customerId); e.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource(dataSourceName, orders)); } }
Because we are using a subreport we have to subscribe to the SubreportProcessing event of the ReportViewer. Each time a customer is rendered in the CustomerReport this event is fired. In the event arguments the value of the CustomerIdParameter is passed which we will use to retrieve the related orders from the OData service. After retrieving the orders data we fill the dataset for the subreport.
The Visual Studio 2010 solution can be downloaded from here
In the company I work (Reasult) we use Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) for claim based security in our software. By specifying the RoleClaimType you can indicate which claims are representing the user's roles. With the general Thread.CurrentPrincipal.IsInRole method you can check if the current user has one of those roles. The roles are used in the WPF application to check if an user is allowed to execute a certain action. Most of the time those actions are WPF Commands.
We were looking for a nice and clean way to specify which role an user must have to execute a certain Command. Therefore we created a custom attribute which can be set on the Execute method of a Command. In this AuthorizationAttribute you can specify which role the user must have so he is allowed to execute the action.
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method)] public class AuthorizationAttribute : Attribute { public AuthorizationAttribute() { } public AuthorizationAttribute(AuthorizationType authorizationType, string role) { AuthorizationType = authorizationType; Role = role; } public string Role { get; set; } public AuthorizationType AuthorizationType { get; set; } }
The AuthorizationAttribute has two properties. A Role property for specifying the role and an AuthorizationType property (enum) which indicates if you must have the role (Allow) or the user must not have that role (Deny).
The AuthorizationAttribute can be used in the ViewModel on the Execute method of the Command. The type of command we are using is a relay/delegate command. For an explanation what a relay command is read the following article of Josh Smith WPF Apps With The Model-View-ViewModel Design Pattern
public class ViewModel { public RoleBasedSecurityCommand MyCommand { get; set; } public ViewModel() { MyCommand = new RoleBasedSecurityCommand(Execute, CanExecute); } [AuthorizationAttribute(AuthorizationType.Allow, "Admin")] private void Execute(object o) { } private bool CanExecute(object o) { return true; } }
If the current user has the role Admin he is allowed to execute the command. The RoleBasedSecurityCommand class definition is shown here:
public class RoleBasedSecurityCommand : ICommand { private readonly Action<object> _Execute; private readonly Predicate<object> _CanExecute; private bool _IsAuthorized; #region Constructors public RoleBasedSecurityCommand(Action<object> execute) : this(execute, null) { } public RoleBasedSecurityCommand(Action<object> execute, Predicate<object> canExecute) { if (execute == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("execute"); _Execute = execute; _CanExecute = canExecute; _IsAuthorized = IsAuthorized(_Execute.Method); } #endregion private bool IsAuthorized(MethodInfo methodInfo) { bool isAuthorized = true; var authorizationAttributes = (AuthorizationAttribute[])methodInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AuthorizationAttribute), true); if (authorizationAttributes.Count() == 0) { return true; } foreach (var authorizationAttribute in authorizationAttributes) { if (authorizationAttribute.AuthorizationType == AuthorizationType.Allow) { isAuthorized = Thread.CurrentPrincipal.IsInRole(authorizationAttribute.Role); } else if (authorizationAttribute.AuthorizationType == AuthorizationType.Deny) { isAuthorized = !Thread.CurrentPrincipal.IsInRole(authorizationAttribute.Role); } if (isAuthorized == false) { break; } } return isAuthorized; } #region ICommand Members public bool CanExecute(object parameter) { if (_IsAuthorized) { return _CanExecute == null ? true : _CanExecute(parameter); } else { return false; } } public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged { add { CommandManager.RequerySuggested += value; } remove { CommandManager.RequerySuggested -= value; } } public void Execute(object parameter) { _Execute(parameter); } #endregion }
The RoleBasedSecurityCommand class is based on the relay command of Josh Smit but in the constructor the IsAuthorized method is executed. This method will read the AuthorizationAttribute attributes specified on the CanExecute method and check if the user has a certain role (Allow) or must not have a certain role (Deny). When the CanExecute method is called by the WPF framework and the user is not authorized it will return false. If a button is bind to this command it's automatically disabled because we make use of the ICommand interface.
The RoleBasedSecurityCommand is just a basic implementation to work with role based security. It can be extended to support more complex role checks.
Source code can be downloaded from here. To test the application you can assign a role to the current user in the code behind of MainWindow.xaml
For our WPF applications we had a requirement that the WPF DataGrid must be able to show amounts just like the Excel accounting format. In short this means: currency symbol aligned to the left and the amount aligned to the right within a column. Default such column is not available but with some effort it is relative simple to create this kind of a column.
First we create a control which shows an amount like the Excel accounting style.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:AccountingCell}"> <Setter Property="Template"> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:AccountingCell}"> <Grid Margin="2,0,2,0"> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition> <ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="{x:Static local:DataGridHelper.CurrencySymbol}" VerticalAlignment="Center"></TextBlock> <TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="{TemplateBinding Amount}" TextAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center"></TextBlock> </Grid> </ControlTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style>
public class AccountingCell : Control { static AccountingCell() { DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(AccountingCell), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(AccountingCell))); } public string Amount { get { return (string)GetValue(AmountProperty); } set { SetValue(AmountProperty, value); } } public static readonly DependencyProperty AmountProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Amount", typeof(string), typeof(AccountingCell), new UIPropertyMetadata(null)); }
The AccountingCell control derives from Control and has one extra dependency property of type string which is named Amount. The DataGridHelper class (line 10) is just a helper class which reads the currency symbol from the regional settings (Current culture).
The next step is creating a DataGridAccountingColumn class which derives from the DataGridTextColumn. A dependency property is added for setting the number of decimal digits used for formatting the amount. We override the GenerateElement method which is responsible for creating the elements when the cell is not in edit mode.
public class DataGridAccountingColumn : DataGridTextColumn { protected override FrameworkElement GenerateElement(DataGridCell cell, object dataItem) { AccountingCell accountingCell = new AccountingCell(); Binding newBinding = new Binding(((Binding)Binding).Path.Path); string decimalPattern = new String('0', DecimalDigits); string accountingFormat = "{0:#,##0." + decimalPattern + "}"; newBinding.StringFormat = accountingFormat; // Ensure the current culture passed into bindings is the OS culture. // By default, WPF uses en-US as the culture, regardless of the system settings. newBinding.ConverterCulture = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture; accountingCell.SetBinding(AccountingCell.AmountProperty, newBinding); return accountingCell; } public int DecimalDigits { get { return (int)GetValue(DecimalDigitsProperty); } set { SetValue(DecimalDigitsProperty, value); } } public static readonly DependencyProperty DecimalDigitsProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("DecimalDigits", typeof(int), typeof(DataGridAccountingColumn), new UIPropertyMetadata(2)); }
In the GenerateElement method we create an AccountingCell object and create a new binding based on the orginal column binding because we cannot change the orginal binding. On the new binding we set the StringFormat property so the amount is properly formatted.
Now we can use the accounting column as follows:
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding }" AutoGenerateColumns="False"> <DataGrid.Columns> <local:DataGridAccountingColumn Header="Accounting style" Binding="{Binding Amount}"></local:DataGridAccountingColumn> </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid>
As you can see the result is a column which shows the amount just like the Excel accounting format.
Source code can be downloaded from here.
In the previous post I described how you can wrap the text in the column header of the WPF DataGrid. In this post we are going to extend the style so is also possible to align the header text. The default alignment of the header text is left.
First we create 3 styles, one for each alignment possibility (left, center and right alignment).
<Style x:Key="LeftAlignmentColumnHeaderStyle" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}" BasedOn="{StaticResource WrappedColumnHeaderStyle}"> <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/> </Style> <Style x:Key="CenterAlignmentColumnHeaderStyle" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}" BasedOn="{StaticResource WrappedColumnHeaderStyle}"> <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/> </Style> <Style x:Key="RightAlignmentColumnHeaderStyle" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}" BasedOn="{StaticResource WrappedColumnHeaderStyle}"> <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Right"/> </Style>
In the styles above we use the BasedOn property so the style is based on the WrappedColumnHeaderStyle we created in the previous post. The property HorizontalContentAligment is used for setting the alignment because in the default control template of the DataGridColumnHeader this property is used for aligning the content of the header.
In the column definitions we can set the HeaderStyle to a specific alignment style.
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding }" AutoGenerateColumns="False"> <DataGrid.Columns> <DataGridTextColumn Header="Long header text (alignment = left)" HeaderStyle="{StaticResource LeftAlignmentColumnHeaderStyle}" Width="50" Binding="{Binding Name}"/> <DataGridTextColumn Header="Long header text (alignment = center)" HeaderStyle="{StaticResource CenterAlignmentColumnHeaderStyle}" Width="50" Binding="{Binding Name}"/> <DataGridTextColumn Header="Long header text (alignment = right)" HeaderStyle="{StaticResource RightAlignmentColumnHeaderStyle}" Width="50" Binding="{Binding Name}"/> </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid>
As you can see in the picture below the header text is aligned.
There is one issue we have to fix. For wrapping the text we make use of a TextBlock. This TextBlock is correctly aligned but when the text is wrapped the text lines in the TextBlock are always aligned to the left within the TextBlock. To solve this we extend the WrappedColumnHeaderStyle with some data triggers which set the TextAlignment property of the TextBlock to the correct value.
<Style x:Key="WrappedColumnHeaderStyle" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}"> <Setter Property="ContentTemplate"> <Setter.Value> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding}"></TextBlock> <DataTemplate.Triggers> <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=HorizontalContentAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}}}" Value="Center"> <Setter TargetName="TextBlock" Property="TextAlignment" Value="Center"/> </DataTrigger> <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=HorizontalContentAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}}}" Value="Left"> <Setter TargetName="TextBlock" Property="TextAlignment" Value="Left"/> </DataTrigger> <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=HorizontalContentAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}}}" Value="Right"> <Setter TargetName="TextBlock" Property="TextAlignment" Value="Right"/> </DataTrigger> </DataTemplate.Triggers> </DataTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style>
As you can see in the picture below also in case the text is wrapped the alignment for all text lines is correct.

The summer home improvement project is complete!
Ok, so that's a tiny little fib. It's not quite complete but it's close enough to count and mark off the list.
Our summer project was to paint the outside of our house, facia board, wood trim, shutters and doors. We started this right after school was out in May. As of the first day of fall, Sept. 21, I declare it done.
Yes, there's still a little trim work and touching up left, but overall it's more finished than not.
And yes, it took all summer long to get it done. Life gets in the way sometimes.
Some of you have seen us out there, working in the hot summer sun. And some of you were kind enough to send your regards out the car windows. But let me lay your worries to rest. Trust me, I do know I missed a spot and there are plenty more of them you can't see from the street. Of course, if you want to put it in park, I can find you a brush and we'll "Tom Sawyer" this thing right on through.
No takers? Yep, that's what I thought.
Cody and I worked together on the brunt of the work. He was on the extension ladder working under the roof and I was on the ground with the roller.
Once we got the major portions done, he opted out of the trim work, but he did replace the shingles we lost last winter.
If mama is working, everybody in the house is working.
We still have the doors and a bit to got, but overall, I'm very happy with the results. I didn't realize how brown, faded and dull the paint had gotten until we covered it up with new, bright and shiny colors.
The only problem I see with finishing a project is there's always another one waiting to be started.
I promised Cody we wouldn't do anything else outside until next spring, but he knows I'm lying. There will be holes to be dug for fall planting and shrub work is waiting now. But I figure if we lived through house painting without killing each other, we should be able to plant some bulbs.
On to the next project! Go, team, go!

Trends in the PCT Applications in 2009
The World Intellectual Organization (WIPO) published the rankings related to international patent filings of 2009. The global economic downturn has decreased the number of applications all over the world. The total number of applications in Japan has decreased but the PCT applications in Japan increased by 3.6 % from 2008.
The number of PCT applications is increasing in Japanese companies: Panasonic Corporation ranked at the top in the number of applications in 2009 by filing 1891 PCT applications (162 more applications than in 2008). NEC Corporation filed 1069 PCT applications (244 more applications than in 2008). Sharp Kabushiki Kaisha filed 997 PCT applications (183 more applications than in 2008). Canon Kabushiki Kaisha filed 401 PCT applications (121 more applications than in 2008). Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, LTD filed 373 PCT applications (158 more applications than in 2008). These Japanese companies appear to have strategically switched from filing foreign applications under the Paris Convention to filing PCT applications.
It appears that the nationalizations by Japanese companies via PCT route are likely to increase from now on, more than those via the Paris convention.

Nirvana: The Final Scream
Nirvana: The Final Scream
By the next night, also in Milan, Kurt's dark mood became increasingly desperate. He met with Krist Novoselic and told him that he needed to quit the tour. "He gave me some bullshit absurd reason for why he wanted to blow it off," Novoselic recalled. Though Kurt's voice had been his main physical complaint in Europe, he now added the familiar complaint of stomach pains to his litany of medical conditions. Krist was having none of it; he reminded Kurt of the huge financial obligation the band would have if they called the tour off. Kurt agreed to continue with the tour, if only to make it through the next date which would take them to Slovenia, where Novoselic had relatives.
There were neither street drugs nor easily swayed physicians to be found in Slovenia, and while Novoselic and Grohl explored the country, Kurt stayed in his room for three days, bouncing off the walls. He was miserable, and he continued to talk of ending the tour. While in Slovenia, Novoselic was reading One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, describing a prisoner's life in a Soviet prison camp. Kurt asked Krist about the plot of the book, and when he heard Solzhenitsyn's description of the camp, he remarked, "God, and [Denisovich] wants to live! Why would you try to live?"
On March 1, 1994, Nirvana rolled into Germany, where they had three consecutive shows scheduled before a one-week break. The attitude among the crew and band was to tough it out for these shows and then enjoy the upcoming time off to vacation and regroup. While in Slovenia, Kurt had called a band meeting and again said he wanted to cancel the rest of the tour. He'd been informed that the band did not have cancellation insurance, so to pull the plug at this point would result in a huge financial penalty. "So, if somebody died, we'd still have to do the shows?" Kurt asked. He was informed that death was the only acceptable reason for a cancellation.
The March 1 Munich show was held in Terminal Einz, a WWII-era airplane hanger that was now being used as a concert venue. Not much remodeling had been done to the facility. It was cold and damp and had acoustics that were horrid for a band with boomy sound like Nirvana. Kurt hated the look of the place and cursed the fact that his career had progressed to the point where Nirvana were playing airplane hangers, though part of the reason for this was their huge fan base, which was too large and rowdy for most European operahouse venues.
At the soundcheck that afternoon, Kurt asked his tour manager for an advance on his per diem. After collecting his money, he said, "I'll be back for the show." Some in the crew were surprised to hear that he was leaving the facility considering that, moments earlier, he had been complaining of feeling so ill that he couldn't stand up or play the concert. "I'm going to the train station," he announced. Everyone in the crew and band knew that meant he was looking for Munich's drug culture, not that he was seeking transportation.
He came back but only right before showtime. His mood had not improved but instead of tuning his instruments or preparing a set list, he began calling people. He called Courtney, and they argued. He called his lawyer, Rosemary Carroll, and in a completely uncharacteristic move, he called his 52-year-old cousin Art Cobain back in Grays Harbor, in Washington State. Art was surprised to hear from his famous cousin; they hadn't talked in years. They made small talk, and Kurt complained about the circumstances of his life. "He was getting really fed up with his way of life," Art later reported to People magazine. Art invited Kurt to a Cobain family reunion later that year. Kurt said he'd be glad to come.
Kurt had personally asked his childhood heroes the Melvins to open these European dates, and when their set was over, Kurt went to lead singer Buzz Osborne's dressing room where he announced that he was ending the band, his marriage, his relationship with his managers and perhaps his whole concept of being in a band. "I should just be doing this solo," he told Osborne. "In retrospect," Osborne surmised, "he was talking about his entire life."
Terminal Einz held 3,050, and the venue was filled to capacity for Nirvana's first show in Germany in three and a half years. Few in the crowd would have noticed, but from the opening notes, Cobain looked half-dead, and his performance, which had been rote on much of the tour, was almost robotic. He began with a cover of the Cars' "My Best Friend's Girl," but even this tune was redone so that it sounded slowed down and drone-like, as if Kurt had wanted to take any element of pop out of his sound. Co-guitarist Pat Smear later recalled that Kurt's voice was indeed completely shot by Munich show. "Kurt and I were suffering from bronchitis, and his voice became noticeably more trashed with every song," Smear told journalist Rasmus Holmen. "When we sang together, we sounded like cats fighting. His voice was sooooo gone, but instead of trying to conserve it, he seemed to delight in pushing it to the 'I won't be able to sing for days' limit. After a while it was a bit much." To Novoselic and Grohl, who had been on the road with Kurt for more years than Smear, it was obvious that if the band was going to self-destruct, it would be Kurt's doing.

Housing Programs
Cathedral Apartments
The Housing Opportunities program's first project was the developing of an SRO (Single-Room Occupancy) facility. The priority for this project was established by years of study by the Jefferson County Coalition for the Homeless - a group that was organized and sponsored through CAC support. Using the old Cathedral school, donated for the purpose by the Catholic Diocese of Steubenville a development grant was secured, a feasibility study made of the property, and a complex and challenging package of additional grants written. Money for "rehab" construction as well as rental subsidy has been secured. The whole process, including waiting for state and federal bureaucratic snarls, consumed nearly five years before actual construction began in the fall of 1997.
In the summer of 1998, the project began to provide professionally-managed, low-cost efficiency apartments for 30 homeless individuals. Supportive services from various community agencies is offered on-site.
The Cathedral project is being funded through a complex package of grants, each of which was acquired separately by the CAC. The funders include a portion of the City of Steubenville CDBG grant; the Ohio Department of Mental Health, the Ohio Department of Development; U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Appropriate Referrals to Cathedral Apartments:
Proof of income and homelessness; ability to live alone with supportive services.
Shelter Plus Care
One of the housing programs at the CAC is a yearly grant from HUD (Housing and Urban Development). It provides thirty-three (33) rental vouchers for homeless individuals/ families with a disability of substance abuse, mental illness, AIDS, or AIDS-related diseases.
Homelessness is defined as living on the street, in places not meant for human habitation, or emergency shelters.
The program is different from other permanent supportive housing projects, because of its intent to be consumer-driven. Within certain limitations, participants are able to choose their own places of residence. Once housed, they receive intensive supportive services to aid them in becoming self-sufficient.
The CAC was one of only 14 agencies to originally receive this funding. The program has grown and become competitive statewide. Funding for this project is from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Shelter Plus Care provides rental assistance only.
Low income, homeless individuals or families with disabilities.
Proof of income and homelessness; ability to live alone with supportive services.
Supportive Housing Program
Supportive Housing services feature intensive case management by professional staff. They assist the homeless individuals and families with rental assistance; deposits for security and utilities; emergency supplies of food, clothing, furniture, appliances, and other housing start-up items. Other benefits include outpatient health services, limited transportation, and child care.
The case managers make up the SSAT (Self-Sufficiency Assurance Team.) The Team receives referrals from many sources, most of whom have long been partners in the local Coalition for the Homeless.
Participants in the program are expected to maintain enrollment in all recommended supportive services and vocational/educational programs. Close monitoring by the case managers will assure compliance.
Taken together with the Shelter Plus Care program, Supportive Housing is expected to provide a continuum of services that should go far to eliminate homelessness in our community.
Low income, homeless individuals or families, including those with disabilities
Proof of income and homelessness; ability to live alone with supportive services.
Homelessness Prevention Program
The Homelessness Prevention Program provides temporary rental or mortgage assistances for individuals or families experiencing a momentary emergency that may jeopardize their housing.
Participants must be able to prove their ability to continue rental or mortgage payments on their own once the assistance has ended.
Case managers meet with and assess all participants and their needs. In addition to rental assistance, the team will make all applicable referrals to other agencies and programs that can assist the consumer in continuing their self-sufficiency.

The advertising network AdEngage delivers service that is not competitive with other networks. Here are some reasons why:
Chitika and Google, among numerous advertising networks, aim to display ads that target your website's visitors. This practice benefits the advertiser as well as the visitor. In the case of AdEngage, the showcased ads are considerably random.
AdEngage supports a feature wherein publishers may identify a particular subject (and related range products or services) to be omitted. If a publisher chooses to not show advertisements about health or pharmaceuticals, he may find that his website serves advertisements about colon cleansing. This is not the type of advertising that you would want your visitors to experience.
As it is difficult to forecast the performance of an advertising service, it is recommended that new projects be tested on fairly recent networks. What they purport may be entirely different from what they deliver. Conversely, do not test an established product on a new site (such as AdEngage).
Note: What defines established commercial sites? A website that has been in operation for a few years while generating thousands of dollars monthly may be labeled as an established commercial site. Do not employ AdEngage in this case, as visitors to your site may associate it with the low-quality service of the network. It would be fair to warn against ruining your site's reputation with running unrelated and anomalous ads.
Try placing image and text AdEngage ads on any of your newer or smaller projects and you will see unimpressive results. The displayed ads will turn out to be unconnected to your content, even with meticulous adjustments to the options in the account settings.
AdEngage will predictably give your site a low CPC, especially when compared to some of the larger advertising networks. The site will most likely receive an insignificant number of clicks in comparison to what it would receive with AdBrite or Google.
Check the ads as they run. "Dead" arrows in the text advertisements may occur. This may happen several times. The ads may continue running, but the images may turn out busted. This may be easy to work around by downloading the images and storing them on your server, but it shows the quality of service that the outfit provides.
Some clients may have achieved some success by using the AdEngage service, but many factors and instances illustrate that AdEngage is not a superior advertising network. It may result in being a waste of effort and time to publishers who wish to work with them.

Who needs Botox?
Try this natural homemade facial mask! It only includes two ingredients.
Who needs Botox when we have bananas and plain yogurt?
I have tried it a few times, and it's now one of my favorites. It will moisturize your skin, leaving it looking and feeling softer.
You need a ripe banana and a cup of plain yogurt. Mash up the ripe banana and mix it with the yogurt. Add the paste to your face and neck. Let it set for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse off with cold water.
I hope you'll give it a try and enjoy the results, as mush as I do.

Easy Drunken Fajitas with Mushrooms, Poblano Peppers and Cherry Tomatoes
Adding citruses to a marinade helps to break down the steak's fibers and make it more tender. Beer and lime, sounds like a happy hour?
Well, these fajitas are easy to make. Once marinated, it'll take you less than an hour to have them ready on your plate. Besides tenderizing, the beer and lime, add a rich flavor.
Marinate the fajitas a day ahead, combining all the ingredients below with the meat. An easy option is using ziploc bags to avoid the mess.
No time to marinate? You can cheat and buy the fajita already marinated, but it tastes better if you do it yourself.
Just a tablespoon of Olive Oil.
I almost forget, today's secret ingredient:
Heat a large pan and add a tablespoon of olive oil, then add half of an onion and two cloves of garlic (cut into halves),
add the fajitas (already marinated and sliced), and sprinkle the juice of the two limes and fresh pepper to taste. Stir.
Why more lime and pepper? Trust me, they will add a richer flavor.
Slice the peppers, mushrooms and the rest of the onion.
When the fajitas are almost done (medium rare) add the sliced mushrooms and a 1/4 cup of beer. I used Corona this time, but you can use your favorite beer. Let the mushrooms cook.
And last but not least, add the Poblanos, bell peppers, tomatoes and the rest of the onion.
I don't like my peppers over cooked, reason why I added them last.
There is something about Cherry tomatoes, not only their tangy and sweet taste but the way they look, that makes me want to use them in a lot of recipes.
The juices are going to consume, but your fajitas don't have to get dry. This picture is not very clear, but I hope you get the idea. Now we are ready to dig in!
Serve immediately, sizzling hot, with white rice, warm tortillas and your favorite salsa.
For Marinade
3/4 tsp. sea salt
¾ Cup of Beer
2 Limes
½ Tablespoon of Chile Powder
Fresh Pepper
½ teaspoon of ground cumin
3 Cloves of Garlic (minced)
6 Mushrooms (sliced)
2 Chile Poblanos or Bell Pepper (I used 1 Poblano and 1 Red bell pepper)
2 Lb Fajita (Preferably marinated and sliced)
1/4 Cup Beer of your preference (I used Corona)
2 Limes
1 Onion
2 Cloves of Garlic
Olive Oil (just a tablespoon)
25 Cherry Tomatoes (cut into halves)
Cilantro (optional)
Heat a large pan and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Then, add half of an onion and two cloves of garlic (cut into halves). Add the fajitas (already marinated and sliced), and sprinkle the juice of the two limes and fresh pepper to taste. Stir. When the fajitas are almost done (medium rare) add the sliced mushrooms and a 1/4 cup of beer. Let them cook for a few more minutes. Then, add the Poblanos, bell peppers, tomatoes and the rest of the onion.
Serve immediately, sizzling hot, with white rice, warm tortillas and your favorite salsa.
Buen provecho!

Alka-Seltzer for a great tasty coffee.
Fill the water chamber of your coffeemaker with water and drop in four Alka-Seltzer tablets, wait for them to dissolve, next brew a cycle to clean the tubes. Turn off the coffeemaker and let it cool for about twenty minutes. To make sure the Alka-Seltzer is completely gone, rinse the chamber with water, and repeat the rinsing process two or three more times.
Then run another brew cycle with plain water before making coffee.
Cleaning your coffeemaker every other week or at least once a month will keep your coffee tasting good.

Easy Chicken Soup for the Soul
So you are SICK! Headache, runny nose, nasal congestion and sneezing. And guess who has to make that chicken soup to bring you back to life? YOU! Yourself and only you.
I promise you this chicken soup is very easy. I make it every time I get sick. When my husband gets sick, I take more time and put more effort, just to show my looooove for him .
Simple but flavorful, and if your nasal passages allow it, very aromatic. Give it a try.
You can always adjust it to your taste, substituting oregano for cilantro or even for parsley.
I used two boneless chicken breast, only because they were already in my fridge. If you want to use two whole chicken breast with bones and skin, perfect! The broth will be even tastier.
Here are some more ingredients:
Ahhhh, I forgot the onion, half, only half.
I had a cold when I was making it, please also add 2-3 garlic cloves.
We also need some corn to give it more texture.
Now, it's time to chop! I spent some extra time cutting the veggies into small pieces, just because I remembered my sweet Mom always made this soup when I was little, she always cut everything nice and small.
Hey! If you are feeling really sick, don't bother chopping so much, just chop the veggies into large chunks.
Place the chicken in a large pot, adding water, salt, the sliced onion, and the garlic cloves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. We are basically poaching our chicken in a flavorful bath.
Once the chicken is cooked through, just FYI the juices should run clear…
it's time to shred it. Be carefull, wait until is ready to handle, don't burn your hands. I had done it so many times .
We are going to add it back to the chicken broth.
And then the veggies. I started by adding the potatoes, corn, plantains and carrots, letting them cook first.
Let all the goodness simmer and release all those flavors until they are cooked.
Last I added the celery and herbs, in this case, fresh oregano. My celery has to be a bit crunchy not over cooked, that's only my preference
Add some vitamin C, lime juice.
Enjoy it!
2 Chicken breat
1 Large plantain
1 Green bell pepper
2 Carrots
2 Celery stalks
1 Potato
1 Can of corn
About 8 cups of water
1/2 Onion
2-3 Garlic cloves
Bring the water with the chicken, salt, onion and garlic to boil, then lower the heat and simmer until chicken is cooked. Let the chicken cool down and shred it, then add it back to the chicken broth. Also add the rest of the veggies, except for the celery and oregano. The vegetables should be tender after 5-7 minutes. Finally add the celery and the oregano.
Serve with some lime juice.
Buen provecho!

Mexican Fruit Punch
Also called "Ponche". Your whole house will get a sweet aromatic smell. This hot drink will warm even the coldest winter night.
Ponche is a traditional drink in Mexico; we love to make it during the Christmas season. Since it's freezing in Dallas, I decided to have the first Christmas of 2010, making the hot sweet delicious Ponche de Frutas (Fruit Punch).
So easy to make, you're going to love it.
Here are the ingredients you need:
Some fresh cinnamon sticks, about three.
Ten cloves,
Half a pound of tamarind,
Don't forget to peel them of…
Two lbs of piloncillo. Piloncillo is like brown sugar, but not exactly, see the sugarcane gets pressed in a large artifact to get all the juice from it, then, that juice is boiled at super high temperatures, until its color turns into a beautiful gold-brownish paste, which then gets formed into a cone. Here is a picture of the final product:
I love it, not only because it makes me feel like Speedy Gonzales, but also because contains large amounts of calcium, iron and proteins, ahaaa, its not only sugarrrr!! Plus its flavor is lighter than brown sugar. Piloncillo is one of the ingredients in many of my desserts, "¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!"
Two apples peeled and chopped, and two sweet juicy pears also peeled and chopped.
Twelve guavas,
please don't tell anyone, I cheatted this time and used frozen guavas, I didn't want to go to the grocery store to get fresh fruit, forgive me, but It's freezing in Dallas.
If you want to be gooood, use fresh fruit.
About two lbs of sugarcane, shhhhh, also frozen….
One cup of raisins and one of prunes,
The juice of 6 oranges, just FYI, I had fresh oranges at home.
Boil the drinking water with the cloves, cinnamon sticks, and the piloncillo then, reduce the temperature and add the rest of the ingredients, except the Brandy. How easy is this?
Let the fruit enjoy its hot bath for an hour.
Serve hot in a bowl, just like soup,
Add some Brandy if you like, only if you like…
Enjoy it in a cold winter night, it doesn't have to be Christmas.
6 Liters of drinking water
2 Lbs. piloncillo
1 Cup of raisins
1 Cup of pitted prunes
3 Cinnamon sticks
10 Whole cloves
8-10 small crabapples (tejocotes)
½ Lb. of tamarind pods
12 Guavas
2 Lbs. sugar cane
2 Apples, peeled and chopped
2 Pears, peeled and chopped
4 Large oranges (or 6 medium ones) juiced
Sugar to taste, if needed
Brandy (optional)
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil with the cloves, piloncillo and cinnamon sticks, then, reduce the temperature and add the rest of the ingredients, except the Brandy. Add some more water if needed, let the punch simmer for about one hour.
Serve warm, adding booze for the adults
Buen Provecho!

Component/s: accounting
There are more 'depreciation methods' which are :-
(1) Activity Depreciation :- Activity depreciation methods are not based on time, but on a level of activity. This could be miles driven for a vehicle, or a cycle count for a machine. When the asset is acquired, we estimate its life in terms of this level of activity. Assume the vehicle above is estimated to go 50,000 miles in its lifetime. We calculate a per-mile depreciation rate: ($17,000 cost - $2,000 salvage) / 50,000 miles = $0.30 per mile. Each year, we then calculate the depreciation expense by multiplying the rate by the actual activity level.
Formula -
depreciation = (purchase cost - salvage value) * (current reading - previous reading) / expected life in distance unit
distance unit may be miles, kilometers, etc....
and current reading and previous reading are reading of the distance meter or distance count meter.
(2) Unit of Production Depreciation :- Units of production depreciation is used for assets for which it is better to measure the life in terms of the quantity of the resource you expect to extract from them, such as mines or wells. For example, the production capacity of an oil well is the number of barrels of oil you expect to extract from it. For machinery or equipment, you measure the production capacity in terms of the expected total hours of use.
You can enter the production capacity as the expected total production or expected total use. First, you enter the units of production depreciation method, production capacity, and unit of measure. You then enter the production each period to depreciate the asset according to actual use that period.
Formula -
depreciation = (purchase cost - salvage value) * (Production for the Period ) / expected production capacity
Production for the Period = current production count - previous production count

The Body Shop Brush On Beads - Rose

This works nicely for my AAB/NC25 skin with yellow undertones. Adds very subtle rosy pink color to cheeks with just the slightest hint of shimmer; more like a healthy glow than a blush. Looks like a brighter pink, and more shimmery, in the pot than on my skin, IMO. Gives a similar effect as the BB Shimmer Brick in Rose but with more color payoff and less shimmery sheen than the BB. Packaging-wise, I wish I didn't have to keep the protective sponge in the pot (it keeps the beads from rolling around and beating themselves into a fine powder); also, the beads can pop out of the pot when you swirl a powder brush around - no biggie though. Five lippies for product quality, minus one for novel but bulky packaging concept.

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy hits out at 'idiotic' supporters
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has hit back at the "mindless idiots" who called for him to be sacked during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Swansea .
Some sections of the home crowd turned on McCarthy with Wolves 2-0 down after a run of five Premier League defeats.
"Let me clear something up, it doesn't help. Let's not give any of the dissenting voices, the mindless idiots that do it, any credit," he said.
McCarthy insists he has the backing of his players and the Wolves board.
He also thanked the fans who have sent him messages of support since the weekend.
McCarthy at Wolves
- 2006-07 Takes charge in July 2006 and reaches Championship play-offs
- 2007-08 Finishes one place outside play-offs on goal difference
- 2008-09 Leads Wolves to Championship title
- 2009-10 Finishes 15th - Wolves best top-flight finish for 30 years
- 2010-11 Clinches Premier League survival on final day of the season
But the 52-year-old insisted he was not happy with the "dissenting voices" who made their feelings known as he made a double substitution midway through the second half.
McCarthy said: "I almost think some turn up hoping it is going to be that way so they can have their whinge and get shot of the manager.
"They are not going to get shot of the chairman or the players, so it's a case of, 'Let's give it to the gaffer'.
"I've done a great job here. I came five years ago, there were only 10 players here and just a million quid to spend.
"Five years on, we are in our third year in the Premier League and building the new stadium - but we are having a tough time.
"Come on, give the lads a bit of support. Don't be giving us aggravation. I think they have short memories.
"But I've also had unbelievable support this week, from the players, everyone at the club, and from fans writing and emailing in. There is solidarity there."

PS Vita to reach Americas, Europe on February 22
updated 08:05 pm EDT, Tue October 18, 2011
Sony commits to PS Vita launch date in Americas
Sony gave good news to gamers and said it would ship the PlayStation Vita outside of Japan on February 22. The US, Canada, Europe, and Latin America will all get the quad-core gaming system on the same day. Prices in the US, and likely Canada, will start at $250 for a Wi-Fi version and bump up to $299 for a model with 3G.
The Vita is shipping to Japan late this year but was delayed for other countries, most likely due to supply and game support concerns. Most of the first wave of games will be sequels in known PlayStation game lineups, such as Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Resistance: Burning Skies, and Wipeout.
A move to early next year will still be risky for Sony as it continues to shed its share in mobile gaming. Of Apple's iPods shipped just this summer, more than three million were iPod touches, many of which were bought with gaming as a focus. As such, Apple currently has a larger platform than Nintendo and Sony combined, even when limited to those who play games more regularly.
Sony is mostly counting on raw performance for the Vita, which with the quad-core chip and matching quad graphics should outpace most phones for the next several months or more. Its speed has been described as only slightly slower than a PS3 and often lets developers port PS3 games nearly unchanged outside of shrinking the content to fit flash memory sticks. A five-inch OLED touchscreen is likewise one of the biggest of any non-tablet device.

I have to say, I am a huge fan of the breed. I've had the pleasure of working with some awesome appaloosas, but it's like any other breed. There are bad ones, too. I've seen ugly apps and I've seen badly behaved apps. I had a horse called Mananas Kat that was the best gamer I've ever ridden. If you didn't look at his head or his legs, he was gorgeous. But he had a long, skinny head with a Roman nose. He also had more heart than any horse I've ever ridden. And several of the farmers around here bought appaloosas as work horses because they liked what they saw when we worked together.
I've had limited experience with other breeds, but some of the QHs I've ridden I absolutely hated. Does that mean I think all QHs are worthless? No.

|Endothelial nitric oxide synthase intron 4 VNTR gene polymorphisms in European and African populations.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22422158 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Endogenous nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule synthesized by endothelium nitric oxide synthase encoded by the ecNOS gene that plays an important role in regulating the systemic, cardiac and pulmonary circulation. Impairment in NO synthesis has been associated to many cardiovascular disorders, including coronary artery disease and hypertension. We investigated the frequency of the intron 4 VNTR ecNOS gene polymorphism in an Ivorian and an Italian population. The frequencies of the ecNOSb/b, ecNOSa/b and ecNOSa/a genotypes were 0.422, 0.476, and 0.102, respectively, for the Ivorian sample, and 0.712, 0.269, and 0.019, respectively, for the Italian population. The frequencies of ecNOS4b and ecNOS4a alleles were 0.660 and 0.340, respectively, for the Ivorian group, and 0.847 and 0.153, respectively, for the studied Italian population. Genotype frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both populations. The Ivorian population showed a significantly higher frequency of the ecNOS4a allele compared to other African and non-African populations, while the Italian sample confirmed the high genetic homogeneity of this polymorphism among Europeans. The maldistribution of endothelial ecNOS polymorphisms between populations could be the results of differential exposure to selection pressures in Africa and during the out-of-Africa expansion.

A former Bosnian refugee is going to the nation's number one engineering school on a full scholarship.
18-year-old Ervin Push-Kar has always been strong in math, and now it's paying off. He's preparing to leave for Boston on a full four-year scholarship to MIT.
Ervin arrived in bowling green ten years ago from a refugee camp after being forced to flee his home in Bosnia. While he's proud of his scholarship, he says it's not his biggest achievement.
Push-Kar has been a regular at Western's Vampy Camp, a program for verbally and mathematically precocious youth. His teachers say it's amazing what he's been able to accomplish with his talent.
Altogether, Ervin's education at MIT is worth nearly $200,000. He's considering a double major in math and chemical engineering.

The resulting Broadway smash meant stardom for Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, who wrote the music and lyrics.
Its creators described the show as an "autobiographical and biographical" coming-of-age parable that mocks the issues and anxieties associated with entering adulthood.
"It's been called the adult Sesame Street," said Tatiana Dalton, who is directing an adaptation of "Avenue Q" at York Little Theatre, opening this weekend. "It is definitely a unique show in the juxtaposition of the puppets with the adult actors."
The characters tackle their childhood, specifically how they were coddled by their parents, and assured they were "special" and could accomplish anything. However, as adults, they realize they find few opportunities and finally conclude they are no more special than anyone else.
Lopez and Marx grew up in New York City and have said the show is based on their own experiences coming of age. The book was written by Jeff Whitty and the original show was directed by Jason Moore. It ran on Broadway for more than 2,500 performances before closing three years ago.
Dalton said her adaptation is mostly faithful to the original.
"We have actually rented the Broadway puppets for the show," she said. "It's a hysterical play.
The plot revolves around Princeton, a young college graduate who has just moved to New York with big dreams but little money. He moves to Avenue Q, the only place he can afford to live, and manages to forge close friendships as his life trends downhill.
Other notable characters include Brian (the jobless comedian), Nicky (the freeloader), Rod (an investment banker), and Kate (a kindergarten teaching assistant). The musical also features the Coleman character as a building administrator.
Audiences will be entertained by the unusual musical, Dalton said, but should remember that, despite the puppets, it is an R-rated show. The production tackles adult themes such as racism and homosexuality.
Dalton cast Randy Robbins as Princeton. Other roles are filled by Marissa Hoover (Kate), Blake Aburn (Nicky), Aaron Dalton (Rod) and Sean McComas (Brian).
