Drunk With Power with Nobody to Stop Them
Fear sold the National Security Agency's phenomenally intrusive program of spying on everyone and everything, but fear doesn't explain it.
A nation reeling from terrorist attacks, the thinking went, would excuse the NSA's vast eavesdropping on Americans and non-Americans, even friendly heads of state.
The reason for doing so, however, probably lay in something more mundane, more like the all-night party outside our apartment window last weekend.
Young men and women stood on a patio facing the courtyard of our U-shaped apartment building. They drank, and they talked. They drank more, and their talking turned to shouting.
By 4 a.m., their shouting and chugging were out of control. Who was going to stop them? No neighbor would dare knock on a door to confront drunks.
This was self-centeredness run amok. It was complete unawareness of consequences, complete disregard for the rights of others. An essential freedom to act had become a license to violate.
Sound familiar?

1 out of 1 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? easy grow, tasty, pretty
What are the cons? None
I was really happy with these seeds. I will grow more of them next year and will give some seeds to friends. Almost all of the seeds germinated and the peas grew really well. The flowers were lovely, so pretty. The peas are huge and so tasty and sweet. The plants held up well against the heat (I was a little late planting).
Went out of my way to write this review, as I liked these peas so much.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?
What are the pros? flower color, taste
What are the cons? some had parchment
in my experience the peas seem to like hot weather(a few of them had some sort of non fatal rot on the buds early in the year when it was cold and wet)and they did not seem to mind drought although you should be sure to provide Adequate support because they get big and heavy(in my garden the vines got about 7 feet and the pods 5 inches)also some plants were giving pea pods with parchment in them but overall a good variety that had a sweet taste and good crunchy texture
4 out of 4 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Flavor, size, flower
What are the cons? A bit slower to set
This pea was a little slow to flower and set, but once it went into production it was produced abundantly. Some pods almost immediately produced seeds, and others remained like a snow pea pod without any swelling of seeds, until the pod reached a very large size. Quite a beautiful and flavorful pea. I am growing it again this year.
2 out of 2 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? large
What are the cons? failed in hot wet spring
amazingly pretty snow pea with pink cerise and purple all appearing on the blooms. worth growing just for that!
14 out of 14 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Delicious, Sweet, Crispy
What are the cons? None!
I live in Zone 7a, and I've never tried growing peas or beans before. Out of all the beans and peas I grew this past spring, these were by far the best and most prolific. I started these in late March/early April, and they kept right on producing through late June (through 90 degree humid Tennessee weather). The pods stayed very crisp and sweet, and the flavor was delicious. I can't wait to plant these in the fall!!!

Cherry Must Go?
Well if you live in Canada I'm sure you've all heard about how the federal government is investigating on-air comments about francophones made by Don Cherry on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada. If you haven't heard the comments made by Cherry, he was basically berating those who are calling for the mandatory use of protective visors by NHL players following a bunch of recent eye injuries. Cherry then went on to say that the only players who wear visors are "Europeans and French guys." To add more fire to the mix, a columnist for The Gazette (a French Montreal paper), Jack Todd, wrote a column the next day claiming that Cherry was a "racist" and demanded a full apology.
Okay before I talk about the comments let's talk about the point Cherry was trying to make. Years ago, Cherry was predicting that the increase use of visors, and the possibility of them becoming mandatory would only increase the number of high sticking injuries, because players would lose respect for each other, and would become irresponsible with their sticks. You can hate Cherry if you want, but you have to admit he was right on the money with that one. No one listened and now look at all the high stick incidents we've seen lately, the most recent coming last night when Foote high stick Yzerman with 1 sec left in the third period with the puck not even in reach of Yzerman's stick. I know Foote didn't do it on purpose but that was perfect example of a player being totally irresponsible with his stick.
As far as his comments go, I won't say how I feel about the issue, but I will say that Cherry calls it like he sees it. Can we really punish Cherry for having a diverse view? Are TV broadcasters supposed to hide their real feelings, and just say what the government wants them to say? Maybe Cherry was wrong with what he said, but at least he said what was his view, not the governments view, or "the correct thing to say". Cherry didn't make that comment because he doesn't like Europeans or French Canadians; he said it because that's what he thinks. Maybe its true and maybe its not, I'll let you decide for yourself.
Like it or not, Don Cherry is a cultural icon. Cherry and MacLean make up a great combination of hockey knowledge and comic relief. It would be a shame to see them taken off the air, because some Canadians can't handle a diverse view that pokes a little bit of fun at a certain group. There are many dumb things I hate about Cherry (mainly the fact that he can't pronounce any players name) but I always give him credit for saying how he really feels. I rather watch Cherry on a hockey show saying his real views no matter how dumb they are, then some robot broadcaster who is programmed to say "the correct thing".

The Alinghi sailing team travelled to Lorient in France on Tuesday to begin multi-hull training with well-known French sailor Alain Gautier on the ORMA 60', Foncia, in view of a Deed of Gift match against BMW Oracle Racing.
Alain Gautier (left) and Ed Baird (right)
'Alinghi is very pleased to have reached an agreement with Alain Gautier. He is a hugely experienced multi-hull sailor and as we are largely focusing on designing and racing a multi-hull for a Deed of Gift Match against BMW Oracle, Alain's expertise and experience will be hugely valuable to the team,' Grant Simmer, Alinghi design team coordinator, said, adding: 'Most of us are keel yacht sailors and have limited experience on multi-hulls, particularly large multi-hulls, so this is an important step in our learning process, to understand and to race a multi-hull yacht.'
The Swiss Defender's primary objective this week is to learn more about sailing multi-hulls, however the mix of sailors and designers will also be aiming to develop a basic understanding of how big trimarans work; this would include a look at the sails, spars, hardware and general layout as well as the sequence of responsibilities during manoeuvres.
Alain Gautier, who won the Solitaire du Figaro in 1989 and the Vendée Globe in 1992, among many other multi-hull grand prix titles, comments on his role as consultant to Alinghi: 'I am very happy to join the Alinghi team as a multihull consultant and coach for the training sessions onboard the trimaran Foncia. The mutual respect that has developed between Alinghi and I over the last two seasons of the Julius Baer Challenge is 'not irrelevant' to this decision. I believe I can bring both sailing know how and technical knowledge although I have no doubt of the team's ability to design a fearsome machine.'
Training begins on Wednesday 26 March – weather permitting! And further training sessions are planned in the coming weeks.
Sailing team members present:
Rodney Ardern, Ed Baird, Dean Phipps, Jan Dekker, Lorenzo Mazza, Nicolas Texier, Peter van Niekerk, Pieter van Nieuwenhuyzen, Matt Welling, Murray Jones and Francesco Rapetti.
Design team members present:
Rolf Vrolijk, Dirk Kramers, Kurt Jordan, Mike Schreiber, Pierre-Yves Jorand, Kirst Feddersen, plus Alain Gautier as consultant.

Stemline Therapeutics in-licensed the exclusive worldwide rights to SL-401, a Phase I compound directed at a cancer stem cell target from the Scott & White Cancer Research Institute/Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. SL-401 has reportedly demonstrated single agent antitumor activity in a multicenter, dose-escalation study.
SL-401 targets the interleukin-3 receptor (IL-3R) and has been shown to impair the ability of cancer stem cells to form tumors. IL-3R is over-expressed on multiple hematological cancers. In AML, IL-3R is over-expressed on both leukemia blasts as well as leukemia cancer stem cells.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KMB52 Super It was truly incredible to have every desire anticipated by your staff. The food was amazing. The chefs that taught the cooking class were easy to understand and lots of fun. The thoughtfulness and care of the staff was beyond words. There was not a door in the entire resort that I had to open for myself. Thank you so much for an unbelievable experience. August 30, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by WorktodoinDanaPoint Amazing hotel with average service We have stayed at the St Regis in Dana Point several times and have always very much enjoyed our time in and around the property. The room and bed are extremely comfortable (we paid for a pool/ocean view) however we seemed to have an abundance of children on our floor along with parents that are not very conscientious of other guests (Issue 1). Overall, it was fine but would have been great to be located on a floor or wing with limited families as we were traveling without our four kids (we did discuss, unsuccessfully, with the front desk). The quality of the hotel and the effort put forth by the entire staff is quite high. Although the service effort is high, the actual execution is average (Issue 2). With several very young adults in critical customer service roles, the service often feels disingenuous and lacking experience. I was also surprised that the beautiful lawn between the hotel and the pool had several dead spots and did not look very healthy (Issue 3; perhaps drought-related water restrictions?). Lastly, we had an incident with the Valet where someone else actually was given our rental car (Issue 4). After waiting for a good 20-30 minutes, we found out that they were unable to find our vehicle. At this point, we were late for our evening engagement and had to suggest to the Valet Captain that we take a cab and the hotel pay for it (which they did). The worst part of the entire experience was the conversation we had with the Manager on Duty upon our return to the hotel later that evening. He was non-apologetic and didn't really own the issue. Although he ultimately removed our daily parking charge from our bill, which was appreciated, he very easily could have turned the whole experience into a positive but missed his opportunity. I should add that he also had a bottle of champagne (which we don't drink) and chocolates sent to the room the next day. In the end, the Valet Captain was, again, very apologetic the next day. All in all, we still very much enjoyed our stay and will likely return; however, we may give the hotel on the other side of the Pacific Coast Highway a try. August 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Deez24 Nickel and Dime Atmosphere! This was the 3rd time I have stayed at the property since it opened and I must say, unless drastic changes are made, it was my final stay. My wife and I were celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary and while there was a nice gift and attention to detail from the staff on recognizing the event, in so many ways, the rest of the stay fell short. The chaos at check-in was not typical for an SPG property. There was a line 10 deep and the entire process, while fast for our reservation, was quite slow overall. The vibe in the lobby was stale at best. There was no music, live or recorded, and the are seemed sterile and unwelcome this weekend. The room was disappointing in many ways. The room I reserved was referred to as a Luxury Ocean View but the view was more of the golf course and a service road. This was not really what I would consider a true ocean view but a partial ocean view and I felt a bit mislead, especially for the $650 pre-pay rate I paid. The room was also left extremely hot and the entire 2 days the A/C was struggling to cool down the room. I also could not understand why the TV failed to include local TV stations?? Stonehill Tavern was a great restaurant and we enjoyed the dinner and service we had there Friday night. We also felt that the staff and vibe of the Monarch Beach Club was professional and attentive. The spa, while in need of updating (steam room broken, and the lounge still had a "boom box" radio??) offered a great service --kudos to the masseuse. However, to not have coffee available in the lobby is not on par with other properties who would be competitive to this facility. The only way to get a cup of coffee was to wait in line in the lobby cafe, despite being told by an employee that we could call "Butler Service" and avoid the long lines to be had. When I tried that, I was told that our room (again, an upgraded Luxury Suite, or so I thought) did NOT include the service and that I would need to call for regular room service -- again, nothing special about that option. So many possibilities with a property this way but overall, the facility seemed dated and faded, in need of some work and updating. The fountains were broken or shut down due to the drought(?) and the carpets seemed dirty and falling loose. In order for us to revisit the hotel, we would need to know there was a major change in management and that the facility was invested in updates. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MeThisGuy Luxurious The SRMB property is gorgeous, from the lobby entrance to the golf course and everything in between. At times it felt a bit *too* stuffy, not exactly a laid back vacation resort. That said, attention to every detail big and small made this a wonderful experience for me on a business trip.

Rated 3 out of 5 by 1000wattmarc St Regis Review The staff was nice but not on top of their game. Upon check in, we were sent in the opposite direction creating a 30 minute hunt down hallways looking for our room. We passed two hotel employees who couldn't help us either and finally suggested we go back to the lobby and have someone there help us. Uninformed employees seemed to be prevalent. The women at the coffee shop didn't seem to know what a small cup of coffee means. Each time, she reached for the largest, most expensive choice when I clearly articulated my desire for a small cup. On the first day, I waited for an extended period of time while one employee attended the many needs of the guest in front of me while two other employees stood behind the counter talking to each other ignoring me and the line forming behind me. Someone behind me finally interrupted their conversation and got them to do their job. The overall bummer - the maze of rights and lefts required to find elevators and rooms. The hotel has really poor signage so directing oneself around is a real guessing game. Biggest problem: Our room is on the 3rd floor and the lobby is on the 5th floor. In others words - up to the lobby, down to our room. We lost count of the amount of times we did the exact opposite due to habit of going down to a lobby and up to a room. Was disappointed in the lack of shops and lack of selection. Regarding decor, average building, okay grounds but nothing special. The pool by the spa - no service the entire 3 hours my wife and I were there. Not even someone pouring water. When I add all this up, the only semblance of luxury here is the price of the room, the cost of the food and the white gloves the hotel staff wears. But underneath that, I would not put this hotel in a luxury classification. I've had much better stays at W's, Westins and Sheratons. August 24, 2014

Rated 2 out of 5 by Perla Stay in the hotel was not up to st. Regis standards The hotel did not have our room ready for more than two hours after the standard checkin time. although mistakes can happen, the staff did not apologize. One staff even said it's not such a long period of time to wait. We were also surprised that there were no coffee pots in the rooms and the only way to get coffee was to purchase it. The main pool did not have enough chairs one day. Overall, we were surprised that the place did not match the standards of st. Regis hotels we've stayed in prior. We know though that usually their service is wonderful and we hope this was a one time mishap. August 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by desperado great hotel but some things are lacking the hotel in general is great. Here are some things that can be significantly improved. The shuttle to the beach was very unreliable and the wait while we were there was extremely long. The main pool was totally un supervised. You have a children's pool which is empty and the main pool is filled with young children throwing footballs , jumping in the pool and making chaos. That was really a problem, it was worse than that but that I can leave to your imagination August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by kingwines Nice hotel but we were stuck in a corner Took my wife for a weekend getaway. Longtime SPG member and used points for this stay. Not sure if that is the reason, but they stuck us in the room directly by the door to the pool (I think the only door, if not the main door) and the room faced a wall. No light due to the wall but heavy pool/outside traffic. I think it was the actual worst room location on the property. The "adult" pool had more kids than adults. Other than that, wonderful hotel with great staff. August 19, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by mialily THIS HOTEL NEEDS IMPROVEMENT WE FOUND THE WORK OUT FACILITY VERY POOR IN COMPARISON TO THE SIZE AND QUALITY OF THIS HOTEL. TO HAVE A HOTEL BLOCK INTERNET CONNECTION FOR THE PRICE OF THE ROOMS IS LUDICROUS. HAVE YOU HEARD THE SAYING NO ONE LIKES A CHEAP CROOK. THERE WAS NOT A COFFEE MAKER IN THE ROOM - WHY? THE SWIMMING POOL SIZE IS TOO SMALL FOR THE SIZE AND NUMBER OF GUEST ROOMS IN THIS HOTEL. SERVICES THAT WERE PROMISED WERE NOT DELIVERED. COMPLIMENTARY NEWS PAPER DID NOT SHOW UP UNTIL THE 3RD DAY AFTER REQUESTING IT TWICE WITH BOTH THE RESERVATION DESK AND CONCIERGE. August 18, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by Nupie Customer Service Needs Improvement I've stayed at the St. Regis multiple times before, however I hadn't been there in over a year. Unfortunately, I was disappointed at this last stay. At the cabana near the lawn, we ordered a few mojito, and when they arrived, we realized that one of them was a virgin mojito - they forgot the alcohol. There was a noticeable difference in taste among the ones we ordered. We informed the waitress that one of the drinks was missing the alcohol, and she responded 'no it isn't' and walked away. We were further upset when we were actually charged for the drink that wasn't even consumed as it wasn't what we ordered. We realized we forgot something in our car and went to valet to ask to bring our car up. We sat and waited for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, then 30 minutes. We noticed that people who came after us had already received their cars. We went back to valet to ask what the status was. The woman behind the counter then realized that our keys were still in the bowl and didn't hang them for the valets to get. Realizing this mistake, instead of putting our keys at the top since we had already been waiting for 30+ minutes, she put it at the bottom and argued with us when we asked for it to be fetched earlier. Waiting 45 minutes for valet when it was only moderately busy was ridiculous. This is just two short examples of my experience. I used to go to St. Regis for awesome customer service, but unfortunately I will likely not return any time soon. August 18, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by tmills91 Keep coming back This is our third summer in a row coming to the StR Monarch Beach. We just love the location close to all that Southern California has to offer. Service is consistently exceptional from the front desk, valets, butler service and restaurant. A special thank you to Maya for taking care of us all week at breakfast. My only note would be that while I don't expect you to comb the sand like a golf course, the Monarch Beach club has had ALOT of seaweed on the sand the past two years...meaning lots of bugs. If you walk to the other side of the beach it's much better, but for this quality of resort you shouldn't have to. With that said don't think twice about booking this property. We'll certainly be back again next year. August 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by IGNRF Another great stay The St. Regis MB continues to be my "go to" destination when i'm in OC. A very nice surprise on this visit as Monica at the front desk informed me you were in an oversold situation and for my loyalty and being an SPG member she upgraded me to one of your royal suites. Amazing. Not sure how I will stay in my usual room when I return. That was a nice gesture (and an early birthday present). It took your usual great level of service to a whole new level. All staff continue to be attentive, responsive and do a great job. August 15, 2014

I had a suggestion of lowering the beds in the wheelchair accessible rooms and when I came back to my room, my bed had been lowered and a handwritten note explaining that they wanted me comfortable!

Everything was great! August 10, 2014

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — More than 100 Kentucky school districts have now approved policies barring students under 18 from dropping out.
Gov. Steve Beshear, a proponent of the move, is urging the rest of the state's school districts to follow suit.
Enough Kentucky school districts opted to increase the dropout age from 16 to 18 in the past couple of weeks to trigger a statewide implementation of the policy. That's because of the new law that went into effect late last month that increases the dropout age statewide after 55 percent of the state's 173 school districts signed on.
Beshear said there's no reason for school districts to delay, considering the higher dropout age becomes a statewide standard by 2017.

Customized Commuter 2.1 Laptop Bag
Overall rating based on 654 reviews
Rich Hill – Verified Buyer
Tim – Verified Buyer
The Commuter 2.0 turned out to be a little bigger than I had expected, but otherwise is a great bag. I primarily use it for walking to and from work and was planning to use it for biking in the summer (not sure it's going to be as nice as a Zero Messenger might be though). I found it to be a little bit wide when loaded up with a 15" Macbook pro, with very little contouring around the back/sides which left it feeling like a board hanging back there. That's my only complaint, otherwise it's awesome, very spacious if that's what you're looking for. The waterproof covering works great when it's raining.
Robert Carey – Verified Buyer
Very well thought out, design wise, great construction. I am always looking for the perfect bag, for everyday use as well as travel, an the Rickshaw Commuter 2.0 Skinny Laptop Bag is it.
I couldn't be happier with everything about the bag, and everyone at Rickshaw.
Thx for making the bag.
M K – Verified Buyer
I use mine daily as a teacher bag. I took out the laptop pouch and can fit an ipad, 3-ring binder and a couple oversized books easily. I love the small pockets in front for keys, phone, wallet, etc and I use the side pouch for my water bottle which is gigantic but fits easily. I had wanted to wear it sideways across my chest but found this uncomfortable. The strap padding is not shaped for this and I found it too bulky and didn't like how it slid into my neck. Not a big deal, I now wear it over my shoulder and like being able to adjust the straps easily. LOVE the fact that it stands up. I keep it on the floor by my desk and can easily grab things in and out of it throughout th day. Now I just need to save up for another color!
Jeff Moore – Verified Buyer
I did a lot of research and had many contenders on the list, but this is the one that won out. This is an awesome bag. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could. The only drawback is that the side pockets are about .5 inch too small for my 20 oz water bottle. It fits, but it's a struggle when I have my laptop (13" MacBook Air) in my bag. So, a half star for that half inch missing from what is otherwise and incredibly thoughtful design. This is my first Rickshaw, but I may just be a customer for life.

Xaml Compliance
I was pleasantly surprised by the response I got for the last update of the tool. Along with the feedback I got a few bugs... ahh the bugs ... so went about fixing them ... Got a couple of new features too. :)
If you have noticed above, theres a System Tray option to minimize to the systray. Now it wont occupy any additional space - its in the sys tray. By default, its not enabled.
The other thing that I added is the send to command interpreter option in the Property tree view. One thing to note here is that sometimes the node higher up the tree is passed. For instance, if you send the Height property of a TextBox to the command interpreter it will send the textbox instance. The reasoning here is that the user wants to modify the Height and sending an instance of the Height doesnt accomplish this (as its disconnected from the parent). Simplicity is the goal here so that there are no crashes... Also, the command interpreter is simplified a lot - So if you perform illegal operations (such as assigning to readonly) you get a very simplistic error msg.
The other interesting feature is that you can now open baml files. The option is available in the open File dialog (Ctrl O / File menu) ... Instead of starting everything from scratch, I reused some of the tools available for this. You have the Baml disassembler from Lutz Roeder doing the actual work. The editor is mainly the one used by the XamlExporter for Illustrator. The xamleditor is a separate exe and the source code for this portion is available here.
One other change - the earlier version dumped the resources in the current directory and it used to be messy if the user opened it on the desktop. So now, theres a msi which does all the redirection and also provides an uninstall option... yoohooo... Finally, a slight change in the splash screen code was made since it really wasnt meeting the intended purpose
The msi is attached.
Update: Fixed the FileSave extension issueRemembers the Windowstate on opening through the sys tray icon
Update 2:It was pointed out that the bamldisassembler is outdated and no longer maintained. As such I updated the msi, which now uses the bamlviewer reflector dll.
I like it... but I'd love it if it had intellisense!
Minor bug: when restoring from the system tray, it'd be nice if the "Maximised" state was remembered. Currently it restores to the "Normal" windowstate.
thanks for reporting Daniel
Couple things: When you do File->Save and select a file that already exists, say "xyz.xaml", you get warned about overwriting it, but then if you still say okay, it doesn't overwrite, but rather creates "xyz.xaml.xaml".
Also, XamlPadX exhibits somewhat different antialiasing behavior than XamlPad or Internet Explorer. XamlPad and IE match; XamlPadX is different. Take this xaml for example:
<Rectangle Canvas.Left="50" Canvas.Top="5" Width="50" Height="50" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" />
<Path Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" Data="M20,20 L70,20 L70,70 L20,70z"/>
<Line Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" X1="80" Y1="20" X2="130" Y2="20" />
<Line Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" X1="130" Y1="20" X2="130" Y2="70" />
<Line Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" X1="130" Y1="70" X2="80" Y2="70" />
<Line Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" X1="80" Y1="70" X2="80" Y2="20" />
<Path Stroke="Red" StrokeThickness="2" Data="M35,40 L115,40 L115,85 L35,85z"/>
Use magnifier and compare the rendered lines in XamlPad vs. XamlPadX. If you double-click the xaml file, you'll notice that IE matches XamlPad. I'm not saying who's right, I'm just saying they're different and it's odd.
Daniel, issue is addressed in the update :)
mcgurk, intellisense would be nice but then it will make the app heavy...
small mountain, file save issue is addressed. As for antialiasing - on vista IE/Xampad/XamlPadX seems fine. On XP, XamlPad and XamlpadX show same behavior, though IE differs. XamlPadX shares the same core code as XamlPad..So it is surprising that the behavior would differ
When I try to run the app I get the following error.
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll
Additional information: Cannot create instance of 'XamlPadPage' defined in assembly 'XamlpadX, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Error in markup file 'XamlPadPage.xaml' Line 2 Position 3.
hmm... Rogers, could you try reinstalling it again... I havent heard of this issue before. so hopefully its an isolated one :)
thanks for this. its a very useful tool. nice to have the extension bug finally fixed too ;). A couple of feature suggestions:
1) when pressing enter after a ">", maintain indentation
2) when pressing F1 over an element name (e.g. Canvas, Path, Trigger, Button etc), open a web browser at a wiki site where people can post examples of the usage of that tag. (or just go to MSDN)
and another one...
3) pressing tab when text is selected should indent rather than replace text

District 13 foes focus on education, jobs
Red, blue areas mirror US electorate
NASHVILLE — State Rep. Harry Tindell says the state's 13th House District, which he has represented for 22 years, may be seen as a microcosm of the national presidential race when it comes to voters choosing his successor on Nov. 6.
Voters' partisan options in the district are Democrat Gloria Johnson, a politically active schoolteacher, and Republican Gary Loe, a former television reporter who now runs a video production operation. Nick Cazana, a retired businessman, is on the ballot as an Independent.
"I don't think anybody can tell you who is going to win," said Tindell, a Democrat who has met with all three candidates while not declaring his support for any of them.
He basically agrees with The Tennessee Journal, a statewide political news publication, which rates the contest as a toss-up between Loe and Johnson. The difficulty in political prophesy, Tindell said, rests in the fairly even balance between Republicans, Democrats and independent-minded voters — rather like the national presidential election picture and a striking contrast to most districts statewide.
While the nation has red states, blue states and swing states, Tindell said, the 13th District has red precincts and blue precincts and swing precincts. The red precincts are in the south of the oddly shaped district designed by Republican-drafted redistricting earlier this year.
There, in places like Sequoyah Hills, the retiring legislator sees voters giving any generic Republican 60 percent or so of their votes. The blue precincts are in the middle, as a general proposition, and a Democrat can expect 55 percent or more of the vote there, he said. The swing precincts are in the north with many voters willing to vote for who they think is the best candidate, regardless of party, and "that's where the election is decided, in my opinion," he said.
If Johnson can attract some Republican voters — and she contends she can because of her education orientation and emphasis on jobs — that tilts things toward her. Conversely, if Loe can attract some Democrats — and he contends he can because of his emphasis on the economy and jobs — that tilts things toward him.
Cazana has run a low-budget campaign, spending about $350 out of his own pocket to buy yard signs, and he has no money in his account, according to reports filed last week.
Loe has spent about $29,000, some of it in his primary win over fellow Republican Vanderbilt Brabson, and had $22,330 cash on hand. He has loaned his campaign $1.400. Johnson, who had no primary opponent, has spent $14,595, loaned her campaign $6,000 and had $45,261 cash on hand.
At the statewide level, both parties are targeting the race.
The Tennessee Republican Party last week reported already spending almost $14,000 in "independent expenditure" direct mail pieces to help Loe. One mailer last week attacks Johnson for taking money from "left-wing special interest groups," a reference — according to a state GOP official — to funds from unions. Johnson said the mailer is "silly" and she is proud to accept donations from those representing "working people."
Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Chip Forrester, meanwhile, charges in a news release distributed by the party: "It's apparent that voters can't trust Gary Loe to stand up to his party bosses or the special interests to fix this wasteful blunder." The referenced "blunder" is a law enacted under Republican sponsorship that authorizes the operation of for-profit "virtual schools" in Tennessee, including a Union County-based operation that has been criticized for poor student performance.
Loe called the news release "a cookie-cutter" Democratic attack. He said virtual schools are "just another avenue for boys and girls to get an education" that he generally supports and "my only concern is that, years from now, we don't want to replace our traditional model of education and have kids just sitting in front of a computer screen."
Johnson said she is adamantly opposed to the virtual schools operations of K12 Inc., which has about 2,000 students statewide and gives Union County's school system 4 percent of the state funds it receives, about $5,000 per student.
The two also differ on another education issue assured of coming before the Legislature next year — whether to implement a voucher system, wherein the state would pay for children enrolled in private or parochial schools. A task force appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam is working on draft legislation. A bill that passed the Senate — but not the House — in the last session would have authorized vouchers worth about $4,000 each in Knox and three other large counties as a "pilot project."
Johnson opposes the idea as a drain on funds needed for public education. Loe was ambivalent on the idea in an interview, saying he supports the concept of "giving more choice" but wants to see the governor's final proposal.
He also said some constituents who already have children in private schools are concerned that if they begin receiving state support, they will be subject to too much state control. And he said the state should pay all the tuition at a private school; otherwise students from low-income families would not have equal opportunity.
Johnson said she has heard Loe discuss vouchers and thinks he is "confused" on the issue with no clear views.
Loe, in turn, said he thinks Johnson "hasn't thought through" a call for passage of legislation that would give Tennessee-based businesses a preference in winning state government contracts. If such a law were enacted, he said, other states likely would retaliate and put Tennessee contractors at a disadvantage in getting business outside the state's borders.
Johnson said Loe's objection is an attempt to "argue process" and legislators "should be trying to find a way to make this work" to benefit Tennessee businesses and create jobs.
Loe said he considers Johnson "too partisan" to attract independent voters, noting that she serves as Knox County Democratic Party chairwoman and served as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. In contrast, Loe said he can "work with everybody" — including Haslam, whom he admires. The governor said last week that he plans to attend an event soon to show support for Loe.
Johnson said Loe was chairman of the West Knoxville Republican Club, which she sees as little different from her party chair role, and assumes he would have liked to be a delegate to his party's convention. As for herself, Johnson said she is "a consensus builder because that's what I've done every day for 25 years."
Cazana said he would like to focus as a legislator on stopping "bullying" in schools and on legislation that creates jobs, a subject he said he understands because of a background running small businesses. As for vouchers and virtual schools, Cazana said he wants to learn more about the issues before taking a position.
Cazana said he knows Democrats and Republicans who have said they will vote for him, though perhaps more Democrats because he was formerly a Democrat. As an Independent, Cazana said he will be in a position to work with both parties with the goal of the common good and less "bickering."
Tindell said that Cazana, who has the same name as a cousin who is a prominent Knoxville developer, will likely get some votes, but not enough to play a major role in the outcome. He noted that Johnson and Cazana live in the same neighborhood, a Democratic-leaning area, and said that the Independent may pull more votes from Johnson than
from Loe.

Respond to Review of Homegrown Smoker Vegan Barbecue - Food Cart
by celynki
Review: The first time I went, I got the side plate, hush puppies, and lemonade. The side plate was superb: macnocheese, collards, baked beans, and cornbread, with some comparatively less flavorful coleslaw. The lemonade is amazing and super minty. I've since become a bit obsessed with the side plate, and especially with the macnocheese (my favorite!), but recently tried a fantastic special: the nori-battered 'fu-fish sandwich with mellow yellow sauce, chipotle mayo, peppers and onions, and pickle. I think you would have a hard time going wrong at this absolutely amazing food cart.

To make henna without using henna powder, combine cornstarch, hot water and powdered drink mix. When mixed with water, turmeric also works as a henna replacement.Know More
Pour 1/4-cup hot water in a bowl, and add 1/4-cup cornstarch. Use a whisk to mix and dissolve the cornstarch in the water.
Pour two packets of powdered drink mix, such as Kool-Aid, into the cornstarch and hot water. Stir vigorously to eliminate clumps. Use any color of drink mix, or combine different colors.
If you don't have cornstarch or powdered drink mix, use turmeric. Pour powdered turmeric into a shallow dish, and wet a cotton ball or cotton swab with water. Stir the cotton ball or cotton swab around in the turmeric until it turns yellow. As needed, dip the cotton ball or swab in more water.
These henna substitutes work well for henna tattoos. Clean the skin thoroughly prior to applying the henna replacement. Use a loofah sponge to exfoliate and remove dead skin. Soak up the henna replacement with a cotton swab or fine-tipped paint brush, and apply to the skin to create the desired tattoo pattern.
To apply a henna tattoo, fill an applicator bottle with henna paste, draw the tattoo on the skin with the nozzle, wait 30 minutes, wash off the dried henna and blot the tattoo dry. This two-hour process requires henna, scissors, an applicator bottle, water and a towel.Full Answer >
Henna tattoos last up to three weeks. The location of the henna design, the skin type and the length of time the henna paste soaked into the skin all impact the amount of time the design lasts. The stain gradually fades as skin sloughs off naturally.Full Answer >
You need olive oil, salt, a bowl, cotton swabs, soap, and water to remove henna. Mix the olive oil and salt in a bowl and then apply the mixture to the henna stain using a cotton swab. Rub the mixture into the stain until the henna fades, rinse the area with soap and water, and then repeat daily until the henna completely disappears.Full Answer >
A henna tattoo is a form of temporary skin art made from a paste derived from the leaves of the henna plant. It is applied to the skin using a brush. The dye penetrates and stains the top layers of skin but typically disappears completely in one to two weeks.Full Answer >

It was around the beginning of last March that Antti Niemi, for all intents and purposes, became the No. 1 goalie for the Chicago Blackhawks. He started 17 of the Hawks' final 21 regular-season games, going 9-3-3 with a 2.19 goals-against average and .919 save percentage.
The strong play continued right into the postseason, as he guided the Hawks to their first Stanley Cup since 1961.
Niemi's strong play came after he started the season splitting time with Cristobal Huet. As the season wore on, however, Niemi just kept putting together strong start after strong start, to the point where Huet was relegated to full-time back-up duty.
This February, the same thing appears to be happening.
Niemi, a native of Vantaa, Finland, started the season splitting time with countryman Antero Niittymaki. However, as the Sharks' hot play has carried them up the Western Conference standings, it's been Niemi standing tall in the net.
He's played all eight games since the All-Star break, going 5-2-0 with a 1.88 GAA, .938 save percentage and a pair of shutouts.
The Sharks are 6-2-0 since the break and enter Thursday's games fifth in the Western Conference with 68 points, one behind third-place Phoenix. They entered the break in ninth place and nine points out of third place.
Niemi deflected some of the praise for his strong play on the teammates blocking shots and filling passing lanes in front of him.
However, he did give what could prove to be an ominous warning to the teams that might have to play the Sharks in the postseason.
"I think I'm feeling probably better right now, feeling more patient," Niemi recently told the San Jose Mercury News. "Last year I still hadn't played too many games in the NHL, so I feel much more comfortable now."

The Sarah Palin SbB tour continues! Hey, don't blame us, we've only got about a week left of her schtick before she's never heard from again. Wait, she is doing schtick, right? She's not really like that, right?
(Artist's conception of Sarah shopping for furs.)
On this week's episode, Sarah spends $150,000 on clothes in the middle of a worldwide recession. Oops! Well, one minor league hockey team took their cue from Palin, and awarded one lucky hockey mom a $150 shopping spree at Neiman-Marcus.
The ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers have become known for their, uh, politically aware promotions. You might remember when they gave away vests reading "Don't Shoot…I'm Human!" back when Dick Cheney blew that guy away. Accidentally, I'm told I need to say to not get disappeared.
"A tough standard has been set," said Wranglers President and COO Billy Johnson. "There's a normal every day hockey mom out there dropping a 150-something-dollar shopping spree and setting the bar for ham-and-egger hockey moms."
"We would have liked to have offered more than $150," Johnson added, "but commas and zeroes can get expensive."
$75,000 might seem an awful lot to be spending at Neiman-Marcus, of all places (In my head, at least half of that was spent on naughty underwear). It's not that baffling though, when you poke around their website and see they're offering an autographed Marty Brodeur stick for $400, or an autographed Mark Messier jersey for $800. Throw in the signed 1980 Team USA framed photo, and you're well on your way to pissing off an entire country with fiscal irresponsibility.

Rick Santorum met privately with Mitt Romney on Friday, the pair's first meeting since the former Pennsylvania senator left the presidential race nearly a month ago.
Mr. Santorum did not endorse the presumptive Republican nominee at the meeting, and it's unclear what was said. No staff were present at the sit-down in the Pittsburgh office of John Brabender, Mr. Santorum's chief strategist, who was also absent.
One aide described the pow-wow as "good." According to another, it was "cordial and candid and positive," Politico reported.
Mr. Santorum went into the meeting wanting to make sure "the conservative and tea party types and manufacturers" are represented in the Republican platform, Mr. Santorum's spokesman Hogan Gidley said, referencing three voting blocs the ex-candidate sought to champion during the primary season.
After the meeting, it also also remained unclear what Mr. Santorum is waiting for before he officially endorses Mr. Romney, something aides have said he eventually intends to do. Previously, those close to Mr. Santorum have said he needs to get to know Mr. Romney better, and wants to learn more about how he can help the party in the fall.
Before the meeting, these people also said Mr. Santorum wants to know more about Mr. Romney's position on key issues such as health care policy and Iran.

Topics from the Microsoft SQL Server Protocols team - Netlibs, TDS, SQL Browser, etc.
Recently, we in customer scenario, amount of attacks come through making connection to SQL Server 2005 and trying invalid sa login. Under such a situation, SQL Server report error " login failed for user sa [CLIENT..]". It is quite annoying to get a lot of this kind of error under an attack and consequently impact the performance of SQL Server.
However, currently, SQL Server 2005 can not block client request based on IP Address automatically and it requires administrator to use one of the following operating system tools to workaround.
(1) Firewall
When enabling exception for SQL Server port, the administrator can specify which ip addresses/network to be allowed to connect to it. Currently Window Firewall is available on windows XP and windows 2003.
(2) IP Sec
Configure IP Sec policy to block ip address from the attacker's machine. IPSec is available on windows 2000, XP and windows 2003.
(3) RRAS IP Filter
Configure RRAS to drop the traffic from the attacker's ip address. RRAS is only available on windows server products. such as windows 2000 and windows 2003.
Refer to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/winntas/proddocs/rras40/rrasch03.mspx?mfr=true
SQL Server Protocols
Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights
Then what is the point of having a tcp parameter of LISTENER_IP = ? in the CREATE ENDPOINT TSQL statement for SQL Server 2005?
I wanted to use this to restrict access to all logins from any IP except my own. Why would this not work? When I trey the following:
CREATE ENDPOINT [CustomConnection]
I get an error at 192.168.1.10
i want to restrict certain ip address accessing my server.can any one fwd me the sql statement to do so?
Ummm... this may be a couple of years late (just found this article), but I think your issue is to do with trying to use SQL's Endpoints to restrict a Client IP (your own) which according to this blog post you cannot do. The only valid value(s) for the LISTENER_IP value would be an IP Address configured for the *server* that SQL Server is on? If 192.168.1.10 is not configured on the server (but is the connecting Client's IP), then I'd say that's why you see an error.
As per above mentioned solutions, I always follow IPSec to protect Server from SA attacks.
how to block specific ip in sql.
Is there any way to audit this kind of invalid logins attempts at database level, i mean if there is an invalid login attemp how can I keep that information in a table in my database.
Awaiting for a help.
Prashant, I use this:
--select * from sys.traces where is_default = 1
declare @path VARCHAR(512)
select @path = path from sys.traces where is_default = 1
SELECT loginname, IP, Max(starttime) as LastErrorTime, COUNT(*) AS AttempCounts
SELECT t.loginname, REPLACE(SUBSTRING(t.textdata, CHARINDEX(':', t.textdata, CHARINDEX(':', t.textdata, 1) + 1) + 1, 16), ']', '') AS IP, t.starttime
FROM dbo.fn_trace_gettable(@path, DEFAULT) AS t INNER JOIN
sys.trace_events AS e ON t.eventclass = e.trace_event_id
WHERE (eventclass = 20)) AS A
GROUP BY loginname, IP
order by LastErrorTime desc
select distinct t.hostname
from fn_trace_gettable(@path, default) t
inner join sys.trace_events e on t.eventclass = e.trace_event_id where eventclass=20
execute sp_who2
select e.name as eventclass, t.loginname,
Replace(SUBSTRING (t.textdata,CHARINDEX(':', t.textdata, CHARINDEX(':', t.textdata, 1)+1)+1,16),']','') as IP ,
t.textdata, t.hostname, t.ntusername, t.ntdomainname, t.clientprocessid,
t.applicationname, t.spid, t.starttime, t.error
inner join sys.trace_events e on t.eventclass = e.trace_event_id
where eventclass=20
order by starttime desc
For anyone looking for an program that will create the IPSEC policy, filters, etc and automatically scan the event log and add IP's to the block list, I've written a small program that does just that.
I had this problem too where my event log would be filled with thousands of entries for hackers attempting to login to my MSSQL instance with the 'sa' login. After much searching, I decided to write my own program, have it create the neccessary IPSEC items, and then scan the event log every 60 seconds for attacks from new IP addresses. It then adds the IP address to the IPSEC filter, and blocks all traffic to and from the IP. I have only tested this on Windows Server 2008, but believe it will work on other versions as well.
Feel free to download the program using the link below. Donations are always appreciated using the link in the right-click menu of the taskmanager icon.
Please note that this only works for SQL login attempts using the 'sa' login, but I could modify it to work for other log events as well. Also, you can view the IP's that have been blocked, but you will continue to see some items in the event log since the program only runs every 60 seconds. This is due to not being able to delete a single event log entry, and I didn't think deleting the entire log would be a good idea.
**DISCLAIMER** - By downloading and installing the above-mentioned program, you agree to hold me harmless for any damage, loss of data, corruption, or any other functionality issues resulting from the use of said software. I have tested the program to the best of my ability and currently have it running on 2 servers, but you have been warned to use at your own risk.
Any questions or comments, please feel free to get in touch with me using the contact form on my website at www.cgdesign.net
I keep getting these errors poping up when i am using your autoblockip program...

Disco - You need to run the app with administrator rights, or as a user with privilages to access the Windows Event Log files.
On a side note I have modified the app to search for both "sa" and "admin" logins since those appear to be the most prevelant on my own servers. Also for CPU performance issues it now automatically archives a copy of the Event Log to the "C:\WindowsEventLogArchive" folder and then clears the existing log once there are more than 20,000 entries.
It appears that this may turn into an ongoing project, so if anyone has any feature enhancements let me know. I can't promise that they will make it into a new release, but I'll see what I can do. Also there is a donate link in the right-click menu of the taskbar icon. Not saying that you have to, but if you like the app consider donating a few dollars to the cause.

The tango "Por Una Cabeza" by Carlos Gardel that is featured in the movie "Scent of a Woman" is performed by a group called the Tango Project, which consists of 2 violins, accordian, and bass. What many do NOT know is that this Tango Project recording was also featured in at least two other films: "True Lies" and "Schindler's List." --yes, "Schindler's List."
John Williams did NOT arrange "Por Una Cabeza" for either "Scent of a Woman" or "Schindler's List" (ironically), but DID arrange it for violin and orchestra to be played by Itzhak Perlman on his Cinema Serenade albums.
What I find fascinating is that while John Williams won the Academy Award for his music from "Schindler's List," one of the most compelling and most powerful scenes (even according to Speilberg, but I agree!) is the one near the beginning of the film when Schindler is introduced in a bar--yet, this introduction is accompanied by "Por Una Cabeza"--not the music of John Williams!
I transcribed the Tango Project's recording for string quartet--yielded a nice one, too--2 violins stayed the same, accordian went to the viola, and the bass became the cello part.
Yes, it is exactly the same recording (by the Tango Project) used in all 3 films (Scent of a Woman, Schindler's List, and True Lies).
There are string quartet arrangments out there of "Por Una Cabeza"; however, I actually transcribed the Tango Project recording note for note, so all the cool high first violin playing is in there. I get a lot of mileage out of the arrangment at the White House, but I'm quite sure I would not be allowed to sell it since it is a transcription of a known group . . .
Likewise, I've transcribed things like the Kronos Quartet's "Purple Haze", etc.--arrangments I'm sure we are not supposed to have (?)
