Like most teams, the Rockies started out with eight players on the National League all-star ballot. Unlike most teams, only five are still with the club.
As you might imagine, that's not a particularly good omen for a popular preseason pick to win the National League West. So, while manager Jim Tracy tried to spin his club's predicament into a fine golden thread to reporters Tuesday, general manager Dan O'Dowd was in Salt Lake City watching his Triple-A affiliate in hopes of finding somebody — anybody — to liven up his lineup.
With rookie outfielder Charlie Blackmon in a 2-for-26 slump entering Tuesday night's game and rookie second baseman Chris Nelson on a 1-for-19 binge, the Sky Sox lineup in Salt Lake had Willy Taveras, Dexter Fowler, Ian Stewart and Cole Garner in the first four spots for the parent club's GM.
Fowler and Stewart, of course, are on the big-league all-star ballot, and they are at the root of the Rocks' problems. Had they taken the expected next step as third-year everyday players, the club's lineup would not be the Swiss cheese that it is.
Jose Lopez is the third name on the ballot no longer with the club. Florida signed him two days after the Rocks released him, giving the Marlins the distinction of two candidates for all-star second baseman, although there's no danger of either being elected.
So Tracy looks out at his slumping rookies and spins it the only way he can. The Rocks are struggling because — all together now — they're young. If you thought they were past this stage of excuse- making, well, so did they.
"There are going to be young guys that either struggle a little bit or they have to learn the lesson the hard way, and you have to deal with it," Tracy said.
"Can you look at it and still see a silver lining? I think in our case, with where we're at right now, when I say it could be a lot worse, when you're dealing with as many young players as we have on this club, actually it could be a lot worse."
So there's your consolation. It could be worse than abject mediocrity for a team expected to be a contender.
The Rocks are now in the process of lowering expectations. A couple of weeks ago, Tracy called a team meeting and informed the squad it couldn't expect to win 13 of 14 in a season- ending rush every year. It needed to pick up the pace.
Tuesday, Tracy's immediate goal was more modest. Asked what he wanted to get done in the games remaining before the all-star break, he replied:
"Are you able over the course of the next two weeks to continue to at least maintain yourself? Now, if you go beyond that, that's terrific. But I think obviously that's the goal moving forward."
So the stated goal is to continue dancing with mediocrity because the alternative is worse. Assuming that won't win the division, exactly when does it get more ambitious? It's not as if the Rocks have a bunch of capable veterans on the disabled list who will soon ride to the rescue.
"But youth grows," Tracy insisted. "Each and every day you come out here, youth grows. And youth gets better and youth gets very, very familiar with its surroundings and gets to the point where they realize the fact that 'Hey, I belong here.' "
Which brings us back to Fowler and Stewart, who didn't exactly grow, didn't exactly get better and better and still haven't reached the point where they realize the fact that "Hey, I belong here." Youth, it turns out, doesn't always do any of those things.
Meanwhile, in Salt Lake, O'Dowd watched Taveras, Fowler, Stewart and Garner go a combined 1-for-15, a double by Garner. Fowler fanned three times. In the Rocks' light-hitting marathon against the White Sox, Blackmon broke his skein at 2-for-29 with an infield hit and a Texas League blooper. Nelson came up with a chance to be a hero in the bottom of the 12th but struck out to extend his current streak to 2-for-25.
"I just personally feel like at some point you get hot and you sweep a few series in a row and things like that," Tracy insisted. "And if in the interim prior to that, you've been a solid club, you've been a .500 or better club, you're going to be in a good position. That's how it works over six months. It's that simple."
Two days shy of the season's halfway mark, the Rocks are back to that old familiar place after all — treading water and waiting on a bit of magic.

ASP.NET MVC's HtmlHelp has a TextBoxFor, a DropDownListFor, and even a HiddenFor method…but it doesn't have a CheckBoxListFor method. CheckBoxList(For) by Mikhail Tsennykh fills that gap and makes it easy to generate a list of checkboxes for an array of objects to let users can select which objects they want.
There are 16 overloads for Mikhail's CheckBoxList method, but the simplest version requires just five parameters:
If you don't have any already selected items, you can get away with just the first four parameters.
Here's an example that displays a list of User objects, returns the User object's ID property to the controller, displays the User's name property beside the checkbox, and checks off those User objects that also appear in the collection called AlreadySelectedUsers:
Function(m) m.Users,
Function(u) u.ID,
Function(u) u.Name,
Function(m) m.AlreadySelectedUsers)
It's easy to switch between a horizontal or vertical list of checkboxes (the control even supports right-to-left reading order) and you can add on as many additional HTML attributes as you need.
At the controller, you'll get back a string array of the second parameter—one for each object whose checkbox the user checked in the browser. The controller method that would accept my sample CheckBoxList would look like this:
Function Change(usrDTO As UserDTO, Users As String())

Sometimes auto-implemented properties won't do the job, and you need a full property declaration; for instance, if you want to include a call to NotifyPropertyChanged in your property's setter or if you want a read-only property in Visual Basic. However, just because you need a full property, you don't have to type all the required code in.
In C#, just type in the definition for the property's backing field. A property called LastName might have this as its backing field:
string lastName;
To create the property from the field, just right-mouse click on the declaration and, from the Refactor menu, select Encapsulate Field. Visual Studio will pop up a dialog box that will let you name the property and set some options on it (and you may not even have to do that much -- for my example, the dialog will default the property name to LastName, with an initial uppercase letter).
In Visual Basic, just type "pro" and press the Tab key twice (once to complete the keyword "Property" and the second time to trigger inserting the Property code snippet). Visual Studio will write your property with a backing field, a setter, and a getter. Type in your backing field's name and, when you press the Tab key again, you'll be moved to the backing field's data type. After setting the data type, press the Tab key one last time to move to the Property name and enter it. Everything else is taken care of for you.
Not all code snippets are as obvious as the property snippet. If you want Visual Studio to write the skeletons of your constructors, for instance, type ct and press the Tab key twice. Visual Studio will write a default constructor in your project's language and then position your cursor inside the constructor. Since I keep switching between C# and Visual Basic, I find this snippet especially useful: I don't have to pay attention to the differences in the languages.

If your site has even one or two actions where access is restricted to particular users, the smart thing to do is to restrict access to all the actions on your site and then selectively permit access to those actions that all users are allowed to request. That way, an error of omission (forgetting to make a method available) simply prevents users from accessing some action.
Unfortunately, by default ASP.NET MVC works exactly the opposite way: all actions are accessible to all users unless you specifically restrict access by applying the Authorization action filter to the method. Under this scenario, an error of omission (forgetting to put an Authorize attribute on a method) allows all users access to the action. It's literally the worst thing that can happen in a secure environment: unauthenticated and unauthorized access to a resource that should have been secured.
Global Filters provided a solution to this by allowing you to apply the Authorize attribute to all of your action methods, locking non-authenticated users out of your actions by default. You can then selectively override that setting by applying the Authorize attribute to individual methods, specifying specific roles and users authorized to use that action. That works, unless you have some action methods that don't require authentication, methods intended to be accessible to the general public. In that scenario, you can't use Global Filters to secure all of your action methods -- until ASP.NET MVC 4.
Implementing the best practice is possible in ASP.NET MVC 4 with the new AllowAnonymous action filter. The first step is to use the Global Filters in the FilterConfig class in the App_Start folder to apply the Authorize attribute to every action method:
public class FilterConfig
public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
filters.Add(new AuthorizeAttribute);
The next step is to selectively allow access to actions that don't require authentication by decorating them with the AllowAnonymous attribute:
Public ActionResult Get()

A lot of the time, when I write a LINQ statement, I follow it with a For ... Each loop that processes each item in the query:
Dim db As New NorthwindModel
Dim ords = From o In db.Orders
Where o.OrderDate > Date.Now
Select o
For Each Ord As Order In ords
'…do something with each selected order
It made sense to me to create an extension method that would (a) attach itself to any LINQ query, and (b) run that For ... Each loop on each item returned from the LINQ query, like this:
Dim db As New NorthwindModel
Dim ords = (From o In db.Orders
Where o.OrderDate > Date.Now
Select o).ForEach(Sub (o)
'…do something with each selected order)
This extension method accepts a lambda expression with the code to execute for each item. I also want my extension method to work with any type of object that comes out of a collection (extension methods automatically deduce the datatype of any collection they're used on). The declaration for my method begins like this:
Public Module PHVExtensions
Public Sub ForEach(Of T)…
The first parameter passed to my method has to be the datatype of the class that I want my method to attach itself to -- in this case, anything that implements the IEnumerable interface. That IEnumerable class (some collection) will be automatically passed to my extension method through this parameter. Extending my declaration to support that gives this code:
Public Module PHVExtensions
Public Sub ForEach(Of T)(coll As IEnumerable(Of T),…
The second parameter passed to my method will be the lambda expression that accepts a single parameter (an item from the collection). Since I'm using a lambda expression that doesn't return a value, I declare that parameter as an Action with its single parameter typed using my placeholder T. Here's the full code for declaring my extension method:
Public Module PHVExtensions
Public Sub ForEach(Of T)(coll As IEnumerable(Of T),
todo As Action(Of T))
End Sub
End Module
Within my extension method, I simply loop through the collection passed in the first parameter and call the Action passed in the second parameter. As I call the Action, I pass in each item from the collection. The code inside my extension looks like this:
For Each itm As T In coll

The faster you download your Web application's various text files (.CSS, .js), the faster your page appears to your users. One of the best things you can do is minify those files: remove whitespaces, tabs, meaningful names, and everything else that makes code easier for human beings to read. If you've upgraded to ASP.NET 4.5, you can use its bundling features. But if you haven't upgraded, minifying your files is a pain -- unless you have Chirpy.
Chirpy is a free Visual Studio add-in that you can download and install to Visual Studio. With Chirpy installed, your JavaScript files will be minimized whenever you save them. All you have to do is to assign your file a new extension.
For instance, giving your file the extension .gct.js will cause your file to be minimized using the Google Closure Tools. The minimized version of your file appears as a "code behind file" in Solution Explorer. Similarly, changing the file extension on your CSS files will cause them to be automatically minimized.

I like well-written code, and I especially like it when I've written it. But I don't always live up to my own expectations. So I've used various tools (FxCop, CodeRush, ReSharper) to give me some objective feedback on the quality of my code. Starting with Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft built the latest version of their tools into Visual Studio: Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate (and up) and Visual Studio 2012 Professional (and up). From Visual Studio's Analyze menu, you can select Run Code Analysis on individual projects or on your whole solution.
The code analysis tools will report on whether your code reflects best practices, based on a set of Microsoft's rules. You should realize, however, that just because Microsoft has a specific rule, it doesn't mean that you should write your code according to that rule.
For instance, Microsoft expects all of its projects to use the CLSCompliant attribute. This attribute causes the compiler to check for issues that would prevent your code's external API from being compatible with other .NET Framework code.
For instance, it's perfectly OK in C# to have two public methods with the same name but with different upper and lower case letters (e.g. Update() and uPDATE()). However, those method names would be indistinguishable in Visual Basic, which is why they would violate the CLSCompliant attribute.
However, you probably don't need the CLSComplaint attribute because (a) you're a single language shop, and (b) you probably wouldn't do anything that violates the CLSCompliant attribute anyway (I mean, really: Update and uPDATE?)
It's important, therefore, from the Analyze menu to select the Configure Code Analysis choice and pick the right rule set for you. The Microsoft All Rules choice is almost certainly not the choice you want. Instead, select the <Choose Multiple Rule Sets> option and check off the rule sets that appeal to you. This will let you, over time, remove the rule sets that flag issues you're not interested in.
If you're really committed, consider adding and removing rules from the rulesets themselves. To do that, from the File menu select Open | File and navigate to the folder that the ruleset files are kept in (For my installation of Visual Studio 2012, that's C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Team Tools\Static Analysis Tools\Rule Sets\). Opening a ruleset file in Visual Studio will allow you to check off which rules in the ruleset you want to keep and which you want to ignore.

If your code uses a set of options and you don't use enumerated values, you can end up writing opaque code like this which passes an unexplained "magic number" to a method:
With enumerated values, your code becomes easier to read because you can pass a named value:
Some applications need a set of options that can be combined in a variety of ways. In that scenario, a favorite developers' trick is to have each bit in a Byte represent one of the options. By using values that are powers of 2 and logical Ors, a developer can set individual bits in the Byte; using those same values against the Byte, along with logical Ands, a developer can check which bits in a Byte are set. Bringing in enumerated values makes working with bit flags easier to both read and write.
First, you need to override the default integer values for enumerated values to set the enumerated values to powers of 2, as in this enumeration:
Public Enum UpdateOptions
Deferred = 1
Audited = 2
Transacted = 4
End Enum
To use these enumerated values with the Update method to specify both the Deferred and Audited options, you would Or together the enumerated values. The Visual Basic code looks like this (in C#, you would use the | operator instead of the Or):
cust.Update(UpdateOptions.Deferred Or UpdateOptions.Audited)
Inside the Update method, to accept the Byte created by Oring together the options and to see if a particular option has been set, you use this code in Visual Basic (in C#, use the & operator instead of And):
Private Sub Update(Options As Byte)
If Options And UpdateOptions.Deferred Then
You don't need the Flags attribute I put on my enumeration, but it does simplify debugging. The Flags attribute causes the ToString method to generate a useful result when used on a Byte that's been cast to the type of the enumeration. This example casts the Options variable to my UpdateOptions type, and then calls the result's ToString method:
Private Sub Update(Options As Byte)
Debug.WriteLine(CType(Options, UpdateOptions).ToString())
Because I used the Flags attribute on the UpdateOptions enumeration, the output is the informative "Deferred, Audited"; without the Flags attribute, the output would have been the less helpful "3".

I'm now doing a column for MSDN magazine about how design patterns help developers solve typical business problems. The column is called "Patterns in Practice", but it could just as easily have been called "Thinking with Objects." As I was writing this month's Patterns in Practice column, I was thinking about how much easier my life has become since I've started using Inversion of Control (IoC)/Dependency Injection Containers. But when, as a consultant, I work with other developers, I find that these tools aren't all that common.
The issue is that, once you start thinking in terms of "What objects would make it easy to solve this problem?", you can end up with a few, very complicated objects. A better solution is to have lots of very simple objects that you can instantiate as you need them. With this approach, you end up with many variations on a single class, with each of those variations designed to do a great job of handling a specific problem.
The problem is that dealing with those objects can be a nightmare. If, for instance, you have three different Customer classes (each designed to handle one kind of customer), you can end up with three different variable declarations:
Dim custp As PremiumCustomer
Dim custOrd As OrdinaryCustomer
Dim custDb As Deadbeat
Using inheritance or interfaces lets you make all the variations on a class look alike. The practical result is that you can declare one variable to work with all the varieties of the class. If all the Customer classes inherit from one class or implement the same interface, you can declare a single variable to work with any Customer object. Here's the only variable declaration you need if all Customer classes implement the same interface, ICustomer:
Dim cust As ICustomer
The problem is the New statements; those statements have to reference a specific class:
cust = New PremiumCustomer
cust = New OrdinaryCustomer
cust = New PremiumCustomer
What a Dependency Injection Container does is eliminate those New statements. Instead, you load the container with the objects your application needs. When you want a class, you just turn to the container and ask for it. You can even specify criteria to choose which object you want. Code like this works with Microsoft's Unity container, for instance, to find an object that implements the ICustomer interface and is associated with the string "Premium":
cust = DependencyContainer.Resolve<ICustomer>("Premium")
Really, these tools solve a ton of problems and can completely change the way you think about objects when solving problems.

Because the Master Page for your SharePoint site is kept in the hive (and because Visual Studio isn't smart enough to follow the MasterPageFile attribute that points to the Master Page in the hive) when creating a page in Visual Studio, you can't switch to Design View. For those of you with a great grasp of HTML that may not be a problem. Because of my shaky grasp of HTML and CSS, when I work in Source View I'm frequently surprised at what shows up in the browser when I view my page.

As an independent consultant, I move from one client's computer to another. Because of that, I frequently find myself on computers where I need to browse a database but don't have a copy of SQL Server Management Studio installed. If you want a quick replacement for Management Studio, try QueryExpress. It's so small and downloads so quickly that you'll think it hasn't download at all. QueryExpress also requires no installation: just drop it on your desktop and double-click its icon to run it.
QueryExpress isn't a complete replacement for Management Studio by any means, but it gives me everything I need: a text window for entering SQL statements, a TreeView of all of the databases on the server (with their tables, stored procedures, and functions) and a GridView of any query results.
There's some stuff missing that I wish was there: QueryExpress won't scan for databases for you to connect to, so I have to know what my server and database engine names are; and the undo in the text window only goes back one step. But, to compensate for that, QueryExpress works with SQL Server, Oracle or any OLE DB compatible database.
If you want something more powerful that's still free, you can take a little longer and install Query ExPlus, which builds on Query Express.

There are probably lots of items on the Visual Studio menus and toolbars that you never use: Why not get rid of them? The odds are also good that there are items on the Visual Studio menus that you use frequently but are buried on some submenu. For instance, I want to know why the Views menu is cluttered up with windows I never use like Team Explorer (most of my clients don't use Team Foundation Server) and Properties (I always use F4). And why is the Immediate Window (which I use all the time) buried on the Other Windows menu off the Debug menu?
Why not set up Visual Studio to work the way you do? Removing the items you don't want is ridiculously easy: From the Tools menu, select Customize and, in the Customize dialog, click on the Commands tab. In the dropdown list at the top of the dialog, select the Menu bar you want to customize (e.g. View or View | Other Windows). Then find the menu items you never use and delete them. Finding the menu you want to delete isn't always obvious, though; the Team Explorer menu choice appears on the list as TfsTeamExplorer.
Adding the items you do want is only slightly more complicated. Still in the Customize dialog, after selecting the menu you want to add to, click on the Add Command button. This will display a list of available commands (on the right) organized by the menu (on the left) that the commands normally appear on. So, to add the Immediate View menu item to the View menu (where it belongs), first select the Debug menu in the left column. Then, when the list of commands on the right refreshes, select the Immediate menu item and click OK.
And: Don't Worry! If you delete something that you wish you'd kept, you can always add it back. Or, if things go horribly wrong, just click the Reset button on the Customize dialog to get back to the original menus.
There's an added benefit here: Job Security. If no one can figure out how your copy of Visual Studio works, it makes you that little bit harder to replace.

I like it when my code runs faster, but I don't want to work at it (if my application is running too slow, my time is usually better spent enhancing my data access rather than tweaking code). But if I do rewrite any code to make it run faster, I want to know that I made a difference. This has led me, after all these years, to the System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch class.
To use the Stopwatch class, just call its StartNew method, run your test, then call its Stop method. You can extract the elapsed time from the Stopwatch's ElapsedMilliseconds property then display it or write it to a log file. This example puts the result in a TextBox:
Dim sw As System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch
sw = System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch.StartNew()
…something to test…
Me.TextBox1.Text = String.Format("Elapsed time: {0} ms", timer.ElapsedMilliseconds)

Paulo Ferreira wants to see Mourinho as the coach of Chelsea for a long time
Jose Mourinho is a very controversial coach who has a divided fan-base which certain supporters defending the decisions and actions that the Portuguese manager has done during his career but there are others who dislike Mourinho but the former Chelsea player Paulo Ferreira is one of those that supports the highly rated coach.
Thibaut Courtois major Factor in Draw Match
Thibaut Courtois was a major factor in Chelsea getting a 1-1 draw against Paris St Germain in the first leg of the Champions League last 16 round.
Paulo Ferreira praises performance of Branislav Ivanovic
Former Chelsea defender Paulo Ferreira has praised the performances of right back Branislav Ivanovic.
The Serbian defender has been unshakeable from the right back spot at Chelsea for the last 12 months. His ability to defend well coupled with his attacking instincts seems have made him one of the important members in the team. Ferreira, who was once the club's regular right back, says that he has been very impressed with the performances of Ivanovic so far this campaign. Ferreira is the club ambassador at Chelsea after having recently retired at the age of 35.
Santos names Ronaldo for friendly against France
The new Portugal boss, Fernando Santos, has named Cristiano Ronaldo in the squad that he has picked for the friendly encounter against France.
The Portuguese will be taking on Les Blues in a week time before they make their way to Denmark to play their second Euro qualifier.
As far as Portugal's first qualifier is concerned, they lost it to Albania the previous month by a narrow margin.
Ronaldo was not there representing Portugal in that game. Paulo Bento, the team's manager at that time, had kept the Blancos talisman out citing fitness issues.
Drogba Completes Return To Chelsea
Didier Drogba completed his return to Chelsea as he denied offers that were launched at him mostly arriving from the MLS. Last season of the Premier League Chelsea struggled trying to find a solid and consistent player that could score goals for them but the arrival of Diego Costa is expected to solve that problem, it still comes into question however what role will Didier Drogba be playing.
Portugal Hit By Ronaldo Injuries
Portugal is carrying out all of their preparations for the 2014 World Cup but they have been hit with a huge blow as C.Ronaldo continues on popping up with injuries.
C.Ronaldo is not only the star of Real Madrid but the eyes of the world will be locking their attention towards the Portuguese winger who secured the Ballon d'Or silverware some months ago and he has to step it up in order to prove why he earned this recognition.
Andrés Iniesta Luján, is a Spanish football player who assumes the mid-fielder position during play. He was born in Fuenteabilla, Spain on11th May 1984 and currently plays for the Spanish football club Barcelona and national team donning number 8.
He was a product of the Barcelona youth academy La Masia and he made the first team debuting at the age of 18. He started his contract with FC Barcelona during 2004-05 seasons and has been an integral part of the 2009 team that won 6 titles in the season.
The manager of the Portugal national football team, Paulo Bento, has said that his side has got a difficult group in the World Cup finals, but, they will try their best to make their way into the pre quarter finals.
Portugal has been placed in Group G along with some strong teams like Ghana, Germany and USA. Germany is in fact one of the favourite teams to win the tournament and it's them whom Portugal will be facing in their opening match.
Chelsea have strength in depth
Two wins in a matter of three days against two of the biggest club in English football is a sure sign that Chelsea have the strength in depth in their squad to compete for all the major honors this season, according to the club's assistant boss Steve Holland.
The West London club beat Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday to move into the last eight of the Capital One Cup, barely 48 hours after their stunning 2-1 win against fellow title challengers Manchester City in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.
Queens Park Rangers complete Karl Henry signing
Championship club Queens Park Rangers have completed the signing of midfielder Karl Henry from Wolverhampton Wanderers ahead of the new season. The 30 year old has put pen to paper to a two year deal at the club, becoming the third signing of manager Harry Redknapp in the summer transfer window.

Home > China Destination > Heilongjiang > Hegang > Hegang Attractions > Luobei Reed Field Habitat for Wild Aquatic Birds
The Luobei Reed Field Habitat for Wild Aquatic Birds is a popular destination not just for people who are bird enthusiast but also for those who are looking for the perfect place where they can relax and unwind.
Yes, this place is known as the habitat for various species of birds. However, because of the jaw-dropping natural beauty that surrounds the place, it is also where one could find tranquility which the urbane locations could not offer.
Things to Do
Bird Watching and Photography
It does not matter if one has a keen interest in bird photography or not. The mere presence of these wonderful creatures is a sure way to amaze anyone. For decades, the Luobei Reed Field Habitat for Wild Aquatic Birds has always been one of the primary stop-overs for birds which are migrating. That is why, there are different bird species which can be seen in action in this place.
All thanks to the continental monsoon climate in this destination, birds are able to find a place where they can reside for a while as the seasons change. One of the most amazing spectacles in Luobei Reed Field Habitat for Wild Aquatic Birds is the abundant population of various types of crane. In the entire world, there are only about 1000 cranes remaining. In Luobei Reed Field Habitat for Wild Aquatic Birds, people will be able to see species such as the red-crowned crane, red-faced crane, white crane and those are just to mention a few.
Aside from the cranes, there are also numerous other types of birds which have found their habitat in this place. Among the more common ones include the red herons, herons, pipa, egret, white swans, black swans, red duck, green duck, mandarin ducks, geese and gulls.
The Luobei Reed Field Habitat for Wild Aquatic Birds also contributes in breeding and increasing the population of eagles. Since these birds are already endangered, the place has become a sanctuary for them to mate and hatch eggs. It is because the Luobei Reed Field Habitat for Wild Aquatic Birds has well preserved areas which keep the birds undisturbed even if thousands of people flock to this place for some sight-seeing.
Indus River
The Indus River is another attraction that is close to Luobei Reed Field Habitat for Wild Aquatic Birds. This is significant not just in maintaining the beauty of the surroundings but also in the history of southern China. It is because of the water system in this river which made it possible for other areas to be suitable as human and animal habitat. Hence, even the ancient migration and civilization can be credited to this river. Today, it is one of the most breath-taking sights in the province especially during the months when there is strong flow of water.
Rouge River
The Rogue River is frequented by curious visitors not just because of its splendor but also because of the much talked about amount of gold deposits in it. For decades, this river has been known to have high amount of gold deposits. True enough, people have been sifting and filtering the sand from the river's bed to be able to obtain some gold. These days, the gold deposits are no longer as abundant as it was before due to the constant processes which have been done. However, there are still traces of gold deposit in the river bed.
Solo Adventure Tips:
Located in the Indus River and the Rouge River; It is situated among the low-lying land of the Sanjiang Plain wetlands.
How to Get There?
From the Jiamusi Heping bus station, take the buses which depart every 30 minutes and goes straight to Hegang. It will take about one hour.
Ticket Price:
Opening Hours:
Visitors are welcome during business hours though specific time may adjust according to season.
More Tips:

Yeah, not a real creative title :-). I started riding again at the beginning of the month, after about 17 years of being off the bike. Yesterday was my 53rd birthday, and today I rode 53 miles. My legs and butt hurt, but it's a good hurt!

Yay! Congratulations!
Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Congrats to you and
Happy Trails
Good for you,
Go out and do another 9 miles, and you will have a metric century!
Way to go!
Doing 53 miles after just one month of riding is pretty amazing progress.
The more you ride your bike, the less your ass will hurt.
I was off the bike for 45 days, from 8-3-08 to 9-17-08. On the 21st, I rode 42 miles and it wasn't bad. Went out in a head wind and came back in a tail wind. Did a few other shorter rides. Yesterday, I rode my age, 53, and it about killed me. There was a headwind all the way back.
I did about 20 today on the local hills and it felt fine.
Got to learn to work back up in moderation.
Hey cool idea and congrats!
I started about a month ago as well and think I may try that goal before the year is up or maybe before my birthday which is Oct12th . 56 miles sounds like a lot of miles for me though as 21 is as far as I have gone so far. I feel I can go farther though. I am doing 15 every night after work so I think I can...yeah I think I can.
I hear Jet is looking for a mile trade off so as a newcomer to the group- Get yourself in with one of the established members and do a quick 53 miles for him tomorrow.
Must be your first hard ride for years so well done---BUT- get out on the bike asap for a recovery ride. Just 10 miles or so to turn the legs. No effort- no hills and take a cushion for the butt.
How long was I in the army? Five foot seven.
Spike Milligan
Thanks for the advice. I rode another 18 yesterday after work and will continue every night but the days are getting shorter and shorter. I got a computer and for a weird reason I seem to ride better with knowing what the heck is going on. I was averaging 18mph and thought that was pretty good too. I started spinning instead of mashing like I used to because of reading a thread about it here and that seemed much better as well. It seemed easier to ride the 18 than before while mashing or at least it was "better"?

|Key Info
Our apartment is in the heart of Milna village, on the Brac Island, Croatia, in the XIX century stone house, last renovated 2013. The house is 50m from the sea, some 800 meters from the nearest beach. There are a number of shops and restaurants very close to the house. The apartment is ideal for 2+2, family with children, or just two adults: 1room is with a double bed and living room has a sofa bed.
All the necessary ingredients are there: an uncontaminated nature, crystal blue sea, delicious cuisine and warm welcome. Our home is a safe tranquil place for families, private hideout for couples and a perfect base for those who would like to explore surroundings and entire Brac Island. Milna is a reality of unique beauty and charm: the sight of palms, antique olive trees and the shadow of pines, chirping of the crickets in the summer afternoon, little wooden boats along the coast, nets and traps near the sea, locals singing a capella as the sun goes down,dinners, great wine and traditional hospitality, talks whispered deep into the night on the church staircase, early morning market, a busy ship-yard with a centuries long tradition, pires and benches along the coast, queue for newspapers and the latest gossip, the smell of baked bread and of fresh fish sold directly on the shore. Weathered sea masters set off before the first lights to reach the well kept secret fishing-grounds, saluting with a glance the chapel of St. Nicholas the Traveller, who once upon a time used to see the sailing-vessels to far-away seas.
In case you wish to explore the surroundings, from Milna, there are boat connections to Split and other islands (Solta, Hvar), ideal for a day trip. Diving, fishing, boat excursions are easy to organise. Renting a bicycle or a scooter is a good way to go around the place too. We can organise airport transfer from Split airport or harbour, or from Supetar (Brac ferry terminal). There are fast boats (catamarans) that connect directly Split and Milna, and you can spend a day in Split, visiting the old town and the Palace of Diocletian, fish market or do some shopping. Come and enjoy an unforgettable holiday in Croatia!

The Dalmatia region
Brac Island is the third largest island of Croatia, with an area of about 396 km; approx. 36 km long and 4 to 13km wide, with 175km of coast line. Its highest peak Vidova Gora, 778m above the sea level, is also the highest peak of all the Croatian islands.
The island enjoys more than 2,700 hours, of sunshine annually; it is one of the sunniest regions in Croatia and has the truly Mediterranean climate. The summers are long and dry, the winters mild and rainy. The wettest months are November and December, the driest July and August. The temperature only very occasionally drops below O°C (winter average temperature is 9°C; on the other hand, more than a hundred days have a temperature of more than 25°C (which is the average summer temperature), and more than fifty days above 30°C. The settlements, on the western and southern coast of the island have the hottest climate.
There are 23 little places on the island with the population of about 13,000. Supetar is economic, cultural and tourist center of the island with approximately 2600 inhabitans. This is usually the first place you get to on the island, with a ferry from Split.
Alongside the little harbour of Bobovisca, Milna is the only settlement on Brac's western coast, 18km from Supetar. This fishing village is set at the end of the biggest harbour on Brac, sheltered from the winds and exposed to the sun. Secure as it is, it was well known to the commanders of the emperor Diokletian's ships, in the time of the building of his palace in Split. Today it hosts a modern equipped marina which attracts many famous names on their fabulous super yachts.
Unlike other places on the island, Milna has preserved to a high degree, the harmony of civic buildings and fisherman houses on the coast and the rural architecture on the hill, from where the snake-like footpaths wind down to the vineyards and olive-groves. For many, the most beautiful harbour on Brac, forks into two channels, the two sunken valleys that descend from the interior. They bring the fertile alluvium and the refreshing breeze from the Brac upper valleys during hot summer nights. Between these two channels, Zalo and Pantera, a wide, blunt cape protrudes on whose clearing round the church and the old fort, the houses are gathered together. Their stone fronts are turned to the sun creating thus a wonderful local atmosphere valuable for tis being so typical in the Mediterranean environs.

Call for Entries:
Application deadline: Drop off or postmark by March 31, 2010
Light Work is pleased to announce the 36th Annual Light Work Grants in Photography competition. Light Work began offering grants to CNY artists in 1975 to encourage the production of new photographic work in the region.
Three $2,000 grants will be awarded to photographers, critics, or photo-historians that reside within an approximate 50-mile radius of Syracuse, NY. The recipients of these grants are invited to display their work in a special exhibition at the Light Work Gallery, and their work will also be reproduced in Light Work's award-winning publication, Contact Sheet.
In its thirty-six year history, our grant program has supported over 110 artists, some multiple times. With the help of the regional grant, many artists have been able to continue long term projects, purchase equipment, frame photographs for exhibitions, promote their work, collaborate with others, or otherwise continue their artist goals. Laura Adams Guth, 2009 Light Work Grant recipient, used her grant award to purchase a new computer to continue her photographic work. Karen Brummund, who also received a grant in 2009, used her grant to purchase 10,000 sheets of copy paper to continue with her installation based photographic project. Nancy Keefe Rhodes, 2008 grant recipient, utilized her award to fund the printing of an exhibition and catalogue.
Light Work is a non-profit, artist-run photography organization and imaging center located in Syracuse, NY. The organization is dedicated to helping artists who work in photography and related media, and supports artists from all over the world through its exhibitions, publications, and Artist-in-Residence program.
All applications must be postmarked or delivered to Light Work by March 31, 2010. All applicants must reside in of one of the following Central New York counties: Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, Schuyler, Seneca, St. Lawrence, Tioga, or Tompkins.
Three judges, from outside the grant region, will review the applications. Their decisions are based solely on the strength of the candidate's portfolio and completed application. Individuals who received this award prior to 2006 are eligible to reapply. Full-time students are not eligible for this competition. Grantees will be notified of the results by May 15, 2010.

Part 2 is composed of data used to study the socioeconomic development of the Mexican-American community in Los Angeles. The main emphasis was on an analysis of literacy, occupational mobility, schooling, family structure, demographic changes, and property mobility. Data items include last name, first name, age, sex, occupational code, real property, personal property, place of birth, literacy, race, head of household, wife of head, child of head, parent of head, sibling of head, and common law spouse. Definitions of family types and discussion of the methodology and rationale used to generate the data in both files can be found in Appendix A of del Castillo, Richard Griswold.

Blue 8x8x8 LED Cube Kit - PCB Version
View Larger Image
Image is representative only

|Jameco Part no. 2210651
|Manufacturer no.
|Catalog 152 , page 147
- Kit Instructions [919 KB ]
- Sample Code [4 KB ]
Blue 8x8x8 LED Cube Kit - PCB VersionBased on our popular 8x8x8 LED cube kits, this redesigned kit includes two custom PCBs to make building the kit much easier. The LED cube will be installed on the base PCB and all of the other components will be installed on the control board. The two PCBs sandwich together using pin headers and sockets, and the control board sits on top of the Arduino just like a shield. You no longer have to study the schematic and decide how and where to layout the components. No more ribbon cables or fussing with connectors. You still have to build the LED cube (but you knew there was no getting around that).
An enclosure is not included so you have the freedom to choose your own. Plan accordingly because you may have to drill 72 holes through the lid to fit the LED leads through for the cleanest installation.
Please note: Due to inventory packaging methods, you may receive more components than required for some products.

As one of the globe's reigning kings of shred guitar, Black Label Society's Zakk Wylde surely must spend his days and nights listening to fellow six-string gods. Turns out, he doesn't. "I don't listen to a lot of heavy guitar stuff," he says. "There's a time and place for that, but when I'm home or in the car, I like to hear other things."
Wydle is a big fan of Sirius Radio's The Breakfast Club, which features, as the name suggests, a playlist that harkens back to the mid-'80s, when the teenpics of John Hughes bounced to a New Wave/synth pop beat. "They play things like The Plimsouls and Echo & The Bunnymen on that station," says Wylde. "That kind of music has nothing to do with what I do – there's no rippin' solos. I like to get away from my thing sometimes."Read more about

"It's hard to find something uplifting about 150,000 lives being lost," said Dr. Donald J. DePaolo, a geochemist at the University of California, Berkeley. "But the type of geological process that caused the earthquake and the tsunami is an essential characteristic of the earth. As far as we know, it doesn't occur on any other planetary body and has something very directly to do with the fact that the earth is a habitable planet."
Many biologists believe that the process may have even given birth to life itself.
The main benefits of plate tectonics accumulate slowly and globally over the ages. In contrast, its local upheavals can produce regional catastrophes, as the recent Indian Ocean quake made clear.
Even so, scientists say, the Dec. 26 tsunamis may prove to be an ecological boon over the decades for coastal areas hardest hit by the giant waves.

What is the fuel pressure? Did you check the compression? How did you check the spark?
Fuel pressure was at 55psi where it is supposed to be. Not sure what you mean by compression I am not that car savy, and checked the spark from the prong to wire plug on all plugs and made sure the module under the distrib cap is good as well.
I also checked the fuel relay and that checked out fine and was working.

The Rock's Backpages Flashback: Robert Moog On The State Of The Synthesizer
To celebrate today's Moog-inspired Google home page, enjoy this great Don Snowden interview with the synthesizer pioneer, as originally published in the Los Angeles Times on June 7, 1981——Barney Hoskyns, Editorial Director, Rock's Backpages
It's not unusual for a musician to become controversial, but it is rare for a musical instrument to be debated. Robert Moog may have envisioned a limited market for synthesizers when he developed the instrument in the mid-'60s, but it hasn't turned out that way.
"I knew it was applicable to pop music but our first market was the experimental composers, and that's not what you'd call the basis for a big business," Moog says now. "Nobody believed there was any future in that sort of thing."
Moog credits Wendy Carlos' 1968 album Switched On Bach with shattering the concept that synthesizers were only suitable for creating sound effects and avant-garde music. Tow years later the flamboyant Keith Emerson used a synthesizer on the first Emerson, Lake & Palmer LP, introducing the instrument to rock.
"Emerson, Lake & Palmer performed at Gaelic Park in New York City and it was incredible," Moog recalled. "There were 10,000 kids standing on a soccer field and here's Keith Emerson sticking knives in a Leslie cabinet. A New York musician who had bought some of my equipment was there and he was in complete shock. He said, 'This is the end of the world.'"
Emerson's wild-man-of-the-opera stage antics may have shocked some of Moog's more conventional customers but they thrilled many rock fans. ELP quickly became one of rock's most successful attractions and paved the way for other progressive rock bands like yes and Genesis.
But synthesizers acquired a controversial reputation during the '70s. Many rock and jazz keyboard players quickly embraced the instrument for the flexibility and extra textural properties it offered. Others, however, felt that twisting knobs to create unusual sounds was tantamount to musical cheating. Queen, for instance, proclaimed on its album covers that the band did not use synthesizers.
Synthesizers became such a common feature of the progressive rock bands that dominated the mid-'70s scene that the instrument virtually became the symbol of the entire genre. When the punk explosion reacted against the increasing complexity of rock music, complaints about "boring synthesizers bands" figured prominently in the attacks.
That phase didn't last too long, and David Bowie played a major role in sparking renewed interest in the instrument. By praising Kraftwerk's 'Trans Europe Express' during his 1976 tour and collaborating with Brian Eno on a "non-musician" approach to synthesizers on the Low and 'Heroes' LPs, Bowie alerted younger rock musicians that synthesizers could be used in more daring, experimental contexts.
Challenging English bands like Ultravox, Cabaret Voltaire and the Human League began building their sound around synthesizers. The Normal's 'Warm Leatherette' became an L.A. underground hit in 1978 and Gary Numan cracked the national pop charts with the single 'Cars' last year. American bands like Suicide, the Units and L.A.'s Wall of Voodoo surfaced with synthesizer-dominated sounds.
The new developments weren't confined to the rock arena. Giorgio Moroder's influential pop-disco production technique relied heavily on synthesizers. Eddy Grant adopted an electronic approach to reggae. Joe Zawinul used the synthesizer to simulate a big band horn section on Weather Report's recent cover of Duke Ellington's 'Rockin' in Rhythm'.

The theater season ends with a spectacular version of 'Henry IV, Part 1'
In an instant everything changes: the dusky convivial sounds of an expectant audience give way to the blare of trumpets and the martial din of running boots as a troop of young men pours onto the stage to circle it, stamping their wooden staffs with a shout. Enter the king.
Thus Shakespeare Santa Cruz and its audience join an unbroken line of four centuries to perform and hear the tale of a crown taken in rebellion, nearly lost in pride, then won in just battle; of a wastrel who becomes worthy of his noble heritage, and of a dazzling hothead who burns too bright. Shakespeare's most popular play during his lifetime, the story behind "Henry IV, Part 1" was as familiar to Elizabethans as the Kennedy story is to modern Americans. But for today's theatergoers, Shakespeare's "History Plays" are burdened with obscure references whose significance eludes us. As written, the opening scene of "Henry IV," wherein the king and his confidants converse at length about incidents and characters we haven't met and do not yet understand, threatens theatrical death upon arrival in the 21st century.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Protects Grupa Remontowa SA
A leader among European ship repair yards, Grupa Remontowa SA is a capital group concentrated around Gdansk Shipyard. Grupa is a major player on the world market which specializes in ship repairs and conversions, the design and construction of new ships, offshore units and steel structures. Previously, they used antivirus programs from a variety of vendors to protect its computers but because of this the system administrators could not effectively manage the antivirus protection. To solve this, the company chose Kaspersky Lab solutions influenced by factors such as the highest frequency of antivirus database updates, the efficiency and quality of its products, the high detection rate, the solid reputation of Kaspersky Lab on the market, and the excellent technical support provided by Kaspersky Lab Poland. Implementation was carried out by Marken Systemy Antywirusowe, IT-REM, experts from Kaspersky Lab Poland, and employees from the IT department from Grupa. The implementation process took just a single working day. On the second day, professionals from Kaspersky Lab Poland conducted a thorough training session for IT staff using Kaspersky Administration Kit. The Kaspersky Lab solution made the work of Grupa's IT staff significantly easier. Now, all corporate workstations are ensured a unified protection system of the highest quality. Administration is central and includes the entire network. Due to a significantly higher detection rate, the company has not been affected by a single malware incident since implementation.

Don't get your expectations too high. Early True Tones (not an Aristocrat) don't have a lot of value because their keywork is antiquated and needed repairs can also decrease the value. Checking closed sales for comparable horns is a good way to get a ball park estimate.
