Amazon Becomes The Remora Of The Retail World, Operates Within Supplier Warehouses
Amazon has a strong advantage over other retailers when it comes to prices, and a new report from The Wall Street Journal shows one reason why. In addition to not having to maintain expensive, huge retail stores like competitors including Best Buy and Walmart, Amazon is also now experimenting with opening up for business within the warehouses of its suppliers themselves, like some kind of… Read More
Unbundled Channels Coming To Canada, But Terrible Taste Could Make It A Disaster
If you want History Channel, you also have to get Biography Baby or something non-fictional but equally dumb. It's the magic of cable and satellite bundles, and it's the Way Things Are Done. But in Canada, that might not be true much longer, as the government is gearing up to force Canadian satellite and cable providers to unbundle channels and offer them to customers on an a la… Read More

Nintendo 2DS Review: Back To Basics Proves Brilliant For Mobile Console Gaming
Nintendo has a rhythm that's predictable when it comes to product releases: Create a new console, then create different iterations of those consoles with upgrades aimed at expanding market share in clever ways. The new Nintendo 2DS is no exception to that rule, but it is remarkable in that it's a bit of a backtrack for the company, which takes the marquee feature out of its 3DS… Read More
5.9-inch HTC One Max With Fingerprint Sensor Allows You To Launch Apps With A Touch
HTC has revealed its latest smartphone, the 5.9-inch big-screen sibling of the HTC One flagship device. The new HTC One Max is well into phablet territory at nearly 6 inches, but retains the slick aluminum case design of its smaller predecessor, as well as the somewhat dodgy Ultrapixel camera. But its full 1080p screen packs an impressive 349 ppi, and it has a fingerprint sensor on the back… Read More
Fifteen Years On, Pokemon Still Holds Power Over This Thirty-Something
While iPhone launch days and big gadget reveals represent some of my most anticipated events because I'm a tech blogger, a day like today can still awaken just as much excitement. Today is the launch day of a new Pokemon game, you see – the newest installment of the "Catch 'Em All" franchise, Pokemon X/Y for the Nintendo 3DS, hits store shelves and is being… Read More
Flipcase Adds Some Fun And Games To Apple's iPhone 5c Case
Apple may not have hit a home run with its iPhone 5c case, which in my view would've been better off without the cut-out dots on the back, but those holes have proven inspiring for at least one enterprising game-maker. Flipcase, a new game from Australia's Dave McKinney and Stuart Hall, who created the Discovr music inspiration app, uses the case to its maximum advantage. Read More
Google To Start Employing User Ratings And Photos In "Shared Endorsements" Ads

As Google Eyes 'Android' Branding For Smart TV, The Question Is Where Android Won't Be
Google is reportedly in the process of rebranding its Google TV efforts as "Android TV," according to a new report from GigaOM's Janko Roettgers. The switch reflects the fact that Google TV is already an Android-based product, and the new name is apparently in use with developer and OEM partners already, pending a formal switch from the old to the new branding.

What I Learned About Facebook As A Feedback Panelist
Today when I opened Facebook, as I do every day, at some point, at least once, I was surprised to see the social network asking me for some time and input. Generally speaking, it asks "What's on your mind?" or something similar in the status update entry field, but this was different; this was a genuine request for me to complete a survey as part of a new Facebook Feedback… Read More
BlackBerry Reportedly Leaning Towards Breaking Up Assets As Fairfax Deal In Doubt
Canada's beleaguered smartphone pioneer BlackBerry is apparently warming to the idea of a break-up, Bloomberg reports, as the Fairfax Financial buyout bid for the entire company looks a little more uncertain due to a failure to secure the appropriate amount of funding, or partners to help them do so.

A 4 percent tuition increase could await University of Pittsburgh students in fall 2010 if the school receives a 5 percent increase in its state appropriation for fiscal year 2010-11.
The school's annual budget request to Harrisburg appeared yesterday in the University Times, which is published by Pitt, and was confirmed by campus officials.
Pitt and the other three state-related schools -- Lincoln, Penn State and Temple universities -- do not yet know their appropriation amounts for this fiscal year that began July 1. That's because their subsidies are caught up in negotiations over yet-to-be-passed table games legislation.
Pitt's request for $194.7 million for fiscal 2010-11 is based on what the school expects it will receive this year. The base undergraduate rate at Pitt is currently $13,344 a year.

Großes Zimmer, mit großem Bett und sehr viel Schrank.
Sauber und bequem.
Sehr viele junge Leute, die dort übernachten, und die sitzen gerne abends
in der Küche und sind auch etwas lauter, man bekommt alles mit, ist sehr hellhörig.
Ansonsten zum Übernachten voll in Ordnung, günstig.
Grazie, Ciao
El lugar es bastante bueno, posee las comodidades básicas para una grata estadía. El anfitrión es un poco rígido y no muy comprensible con los horarios de los huéspedes. Su falta de dominio del español hace difícil la comunicación, si recibe pasajeros de distinto idioma, debe tener en cuenta la forma de comunicarse adecuadamente.
Simone was very frendly and helpful. Unfortunately was our room directly in the main street! It was too loud and we can't good sleep. For breakfast there were only Cornflakes & coffee. The Schoko cake was great;))
Le frère de Simone Nous a accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse. L'appartement était spacieux et agréable.
Amazing! Everything was perfect! Simone was so nice, and gently took us to the airport for a cheap price! Extremely recommended!
W pokoju bardzo dobre warunki. Korzystanie z kuchni i łazienki bez problemu. Jedynie te cienkie drzwi przez które wszystko słychać. Komunikacja z centrum bardzo dobra lub spacerek do centrum 20 - 30 min. Polecamy super pizze na Via Carlo Mateucci w lokalu La Grappa Mangiatoia zaraz za stacją benzynową Q8. Greetings for Simone
wurde in einer anderen pension untergebracht, den grund dafuer habe ich nich wirklich verstanden. die pension, in der ich war, war sehr gepflegt und huebsch, der gastgeber war nett und zuvorkommend.
Leuke accomodatie in Pisa, met de bus in 15 minuten in het centrum. Simone geeft veel info over de omgeving. En is erg behulpzaam. Wifi aanwezig
Ben je op zoek naar een goed restaurant in de buurt dan moet je zeker naar Ristorante Pizzeria "il mio Capriccio" gaan.
Adres: Via Matteucci 50 Pisa
Convenient location for access to downtown, even with the car. The disadvantages are shared bathrooms and drains that do not work.
Posizione comoda per l'accesso in centro, anche con l'auto. Gli svantaggi sono il bagno in comune e gli scarichi che non funzionano.
The stay in Pisa at Simone's house was really good. The room was good, bathroom has to be shared with others, but was cleaned everyday. Breakfast was very good with delicious coffee. Simone is a great host and really really nice and friendly. We would come back every time :-)
- Quality assured accommodation

Python Web developer. Employed full time, this site is just a little bit about me.
Hi everyone i just finished writing and deploying GetWork2Day #docker #python #postgis #sqlalchemy #pyramid.
TradeSite.so re designed #docker #python #bootstrap.
SolentWholesale has a new website. #pyramid #sqlalchemy #bootstrap
Technologies I use (daily).
The framework for real web developers, working to real deadlines. The only python web framework that allows you to create a truly limitless application.
SQL done right, after testing and experimenting with Mongo and various other noSQL systems, nothing beats SQLAlchemy, database agnostic and works flawlessly.
2014 has been a fantastic year for Linux containers, FreeBSD jails are a thing of the past (for me). Docker is storming through and has helped me deploy to a scale I had never imagined.
10 years personal use and 5 years commerical production use, theres not many packages I havent used. Compiling 2.4 kernels on a stage 1 Gentoo install, where it all started.
100 Happy clients
5 cups of coffee (today)
25,000 lines of codes
300 emails (per week)
0 hours complaints
24 github projects
Behind the Solent Wholesale website is a custom CMS and product managaement system, written entirely from scartch to tailor the unique application entirely to Solent Wholesales needs.
The site was built to run perfectly on desktop, tablet, mobile and phones.
Using SQLAlchemy allows the use of multiple databases, linking their customer facing site, with their internal Sage platform.
Using pyramid allowed us to create a dynamic site with every feature that was needed, wihout to much complexity.
Solent love their site, mainly because it offers a great knowledge base for their customers, making them stand out from their competitors.
The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women's fashion.
Take a look at other projects which I have created and consulted on.

Gaming at the low end, checking out the Athlon X4 880K
Subject: Processors | April 26, 2016 - 09:32 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Wraith, Godavari, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, FM2+, amd, X4 880K
Remember that FM2+ refresh which Josh informed you about back in March? The APUs have started arriving on test benches and can be benchmarked independently to see what this ~$100 processor and the Wraith cooler are capable of. Neoseeker compares the new 880K against the older FX-4350 in a long series of benchmarks which show the 880K to be the better part in most cases. There are some interesting exceptions to this, in which the FX-4350's slightly higher frequency allows it to pull ahead by a small margin so there are cases where the less expensive chip would make sense. Read the full review to see which chip makes more sense for you.
"Today we take a look at the AMD Athlon X4 880K, a quad-core FM2+ processor with 4.0/4.2GHz base/Turbo clocks and unlocked multiplier priced at under $100 USD. It's designed for enthusiasts on a budget looking for the fastest multi-core Athlon processor yet without any integrated GPU to add to the cost. It even shares the 95W TDP of AMD's higher-end APUs for optimized power consumption that further leads to more overclocking headroom."

IBM is feeling Powerful in the Core Wars, details on the Power9 architecture have arrived
Subject: General Tech | April 7, 2016 - 07:43 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: GLOBALFOUNDRIES, IBM, power9
IBM's Power9 processor is scheduled to appear on the scene just over a year from now and finally we have some details about what it will be. Firstly the core count is to be two higher than Intel, 24 cores and is optimized for use in two socket servers. The chips are 14nm FinFETs fabbed by GLOBALFOUNDRIES which will be compatible with modern industry standards including DDR4, PCIe 4.0 and NVLink 2.0 so you can even take advantage of Jen-Hsun's latest products.
The list of customers is quite impressive, Google has moved to Power8 already and described changing to the infrastructure as simple as flipping a switch, the US Department of Energy will build their next HPCs using Power9 and Rackspace is currently working with Google to develop Power9 server blueprints for the Open Compute Project.
Several Chinese companies will take advantage of those OpenPower blueprints to develop their own 'partner chips', Power8 and 9 architecture which will be using 10nm gates in 2018 to 2020. This is somewhat amusing considering the shipping of Xeon processors to China has been banned by the US Government. Check out more of the slides from IBM's presentation at The Register.
"IBM's Power9 processor, due to arrive in the second half of next year, will have 24 cores, double that of today's Power8 chips, it emerged today.
Meanwhile, Google has gone public with its Power work – confirming it has ported many of its big-name web services to the architecture, and that rebuilding its stack for non-Intel gear is a simple switch flip."

Clockspeed Jump and More!
On March 1st AMD announced the availability of two new processors as well as more information on the A10 7860 APU.
The two new units are the A10-7890K and the Athlon X4 880K. These are both Kaveri based parts, but of course the Athlon has the GPU portion disabled. Product refreshes for the past several years have followed a far different schedule than the days of yore. Remember back in time when the Phenom II series and the competing Core 2 series would have clockspeed updates that were expected yearly, if not every half year with a slightly faster top end performer to garner top dollar from consumers?
Things have changed, for better or worse. We have so far seen two clockspeed bumps for the Kaveri /Godavari based APU. Kaveri was first introduced over two years ago with the A10-7850K and the lower end derivatives. The 7850K has a clockspeed that ranges from 3.7 GHz to the max 4 GHz with boost. The GPU portion is clocked at 720 MHz. This is a 95 watt TDP part that is one of the introductory units from GLOBALFOUNDRIES 28 nm HKMG process.
Today the new top end A10-7890K is clocked at 4.1 GHz to 4.3 GHz max. The GPU receives a significant boost in performance with a clockspeed of 866 MHz. The combination of CPU and GPU clockspeed increases push the total performance of the part exceeding 1 TFLOPs. It features the same dual module/quad core Godavari design as well as the 8 GCN Units. The interesting part here is that the APU does not exceed the 95 watt TDP that it shares with the older and slower 7850K. It is also a boost in performance from last year's refresh of the A10-7870K which is clocked 200 MHz slower on the CPU portion but retains the 866 MHz speed of the GPU. This APU is fully unlocked so a user can easily overclock both the CPU and GPU cores.
The Athlon X4 880K is still based on the Godavari family rather than the Carizzo update that the X4 845 uses. This part is clocked from 4.0 to 4.2 GHz. It again retains the 95 watt TDP rating of the previous Athlon X4 CPUs. Previously the X4 860K was the highest clocked unit at 3.7 GHz to 4.0, but the 880K raises that to 4 to 4.2 GHz. A 300 MHz gain in base clock is pretty significant as well as stretching that ceiling to 4.2 GHz. The Godavari modules retain their full amount of L2 cache so the 880K has 4 MB available to it. These parts are very popular with budget enthusiasts and gaming builds as they are extremely inexpensive and perform at an acceptable level with free overclocking thrown in.
AMD Polaris Architecture Coming Mid-2016
In early December, I was able to spend some time with members of the newly formed Radeon Technologies Group (RTG), which is a revitalized and compartmentalized section of AMD that is taking over all graphics work. During those meetings, I was able to learn quite a bit about the plans for RTG going forward, including changes for AMD FreeSync and implementation of HDR display technology, and their plans for the GPUOpen open-sourced game development platform. Perhaps most intriguing of all: we received some information about the next-generation GPU architecture, targeted for 2016.
Codenamed Polaris, this new architecture will be the 4th generation of GCN (Graphics Core Next), and it will be the first AMD GPU that is built on FinFET process technology. These two changes combined promise to offer the biggest improvement in performance per watt, generation to generation, in AMD's history.
Though the amount of information provided about the Polaris architecture is light, RTG does promise some changes to the 4th iteration of its GCN design. Those include primitive discard acceleration, an improved hardware scheduler, better pre-fetch, increased shader efficiency, and stronger memory compression. We have already discussed in a previous story that the new GPUs will include HDMI 2.0a and DisplayPort 1.3 display interfaces, which offer some impressive new features and bandwidth. From a multimedia perspective, Polaris will be the first GPU to include support for h.265 4K decode and encode acceleration.
This slide shows us quite a few changes, most of which were never discussed specifically that we can report, coming to Polaris. Geometry processing and the memory controller stand out as potentially interesting to me – AMD's Fiji design continues to lag behind NVIDIA's Maxwell in terms of tessellation performance and we would love to see that shift. I am also very curious to see how the memory controller is configured on the entire Polaris lineup of GPUs – we saw the introduction of HBM (high bandwidth memory) with the Fury line of cards.

Rumor: Abu Dhabi Fund Seeks to Sell GlobalFoundries
Subject: General Tech | November 29, 2015 - 09:45 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: GLOBALFOUNDRIES
Several years ago, AMD spun off their chip manufacturing infrastructure into a company, which was named GlobalFoundries, and became a fabless integrated circuit designer. This transaction meant that AMD would be free to shop around when they needed something printed, and they wouldn't need to pay for the upfront expenses. That burden would be placed on the shoulders of stakeholders in GlobalFoundries, and of course the revenue they acquire from their larger pool of customers.
Image Credit: Wikipedia
Speaking of their stakeholders, GlobalFoundries is wholly owned by Advanced Technology Investment Company, which is owned by Mubadala Development Company, which is owned by the government of Abu Dhabi. GlobalFoundries merged with Chartered Semiconductor and was actually paid by IBM to acquire their fab business, at a reward of $1.5 billion USD and binding IBM to a ten-year exclusivity deal for server processors, which helped bolster the company. Oil prices have been fluctuating though, and sources tell Bloomberg that Abu Dhabi is interested in selling some or all of GlobalFoundries at a valuation of around $15-20 billion USD.
The report stops there, without declaring any potential candidates, but speculation doesn't. A lot of it just sounds like listing names who have lots of cash. If the source is even accurate, we don't know who are involved or how serious they are.

GLOBALFOUNDRIES Achieves 14nm FinFET - Coming to New AMD Products
Subject: Processors | November 6, 2015 - 03:09 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: tape out, processors, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, global foundries, APU, amd, 14 nm FinFET
GlobalFoundries has today officially announced their success with sample 14 nm FinFET production for upcoming AMD products.
(Image credit: KitGuru)
GlobalFoundries licensed 14 nm LPE and LPP technology from Samsung in 2014, and were producing wafers as early as April of this year. At the time a GF company spokesperson was quoted in this report at KitGuru, stating "the early version (14LPE) is qualified in our fab and our lead product is yielding in double digits. Since 2014, we have taped multiple products and testchips and are seeing rapid progress, in yield and maturity, for volume shipments in 2015." Now they have moved past LPE (Low Power Early) to LPP (Low Power Plus), with new products based on the technology slated for 2016:
"AMD has taped out multiple products using GLOBALFOUNDRIES' 14nm Low Power Plus (14LPP) process technology and is currently conducting validation work on 14LPP production samples. Today's announcement represents another significant milestone towards reaching full production readiness of GLOBALFOUNDRIES' 14LPP process technology, which will reach high-volume production in 2016."
GlobalFoundries was originally the manufacturing arm of AMD, and has continued to produce the companies processors since the spin-off in 2012. AMD's current desktop FX-8350 CPU was manufactured on 32 nm SOI, and more recently APUs such as the A10-7850K have been produced at 28 nm - both at GlobalFoundries. Intel's latest offerings such as the flagship 6700K desktop CPU are produced with Intel's 14nm process, and the success of the 14LPP production at GlobalFoundries has the potential to bring AMD's new processors closer parity with Intel (at least from a lithography standpoint).
Full PR after the break.
"We made a 7nm process chip and you can't have one!" - IBM
Subject: General Tech | July 9, 2015 - 06:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Samsung, IBM, GLOBALFOUNDRIES
The heavy hitting partnership of IBM, Samsung and GLOBALFOUNDRIES have designed and created the first chip built on a 7nm process using Silicon Germanium channel transistors and EUV lithography. Even more impressive is their claim of 50% area scaling improvements ovver 10nm, a very large step in such small processes. IBM told PC World that they will be able to fit 20 billion transistors on a 7nm chip which is a tenfold increase over Braswell as an example of current technology. The Inquirer reports that this project also cements the deal between GLOFO and IBM; GLOFO will be the exclusive provider of chips for IBM for the next decade.
"IBM'S RESEARCH TEAM has manufactured functional test chips using a 7nm production process, making it the first in the industry to produce chips with working transistors of this size."

Process Technology Overview
We have been very spoiled throughout the years. We likely did not realize exactly how spoiled we were until it became very obvious that the rate of process technology advances hit a virtual brick wall. Every 18 to 24 months we were treated to a new, faster, more efficient process node that was opened up to fabless semiconductor firms and we were treated to a new generation of products that would blow our hair back. Now we have been in a virtual standstill when it comes to new process nodes from the pure-play foundries.
Few expected the 28 nm node to live nearly as long as it has. Some of the first cracks in the façade actually came from Intel. Their 22 nm Tri-Gate (FinFET) process took a little bit longer to get off the ground than expected. We also noticed some interesting electrical features from the products developed on that process. Intel skewed away from higher clockspeeds and focused on efficiency and architectural improvements rather than staying at generally acceptable TDPs and leapfrogging the competition by clockspeed alone. Overclockers noticed that the newer parts did not reach the same clockspeed heights as previous products such as the 32 nm based Sandy Bridge processors. Whether this decision was intentional from Intel or not is debatable, but my gut feeling here is that they responded to the technical limitations of their 22 nm process. Yields and bins likely dictated the max clockspeeds attained on these new products. So instead of vaulting over AMD's products, they just slowly started walking away from them.

When 28 nm was released the plans on the books were to transition to 20 nm products based on planar transistors, thereby bypassing the added expense of developing FinFETs. It was widely expected that FinFETs were not necessarily required to address the needs of the market. Sadly, that did not turn out to be the case. There are many other factors as to why 20 nm planar parts are not common, but the limitations of that particular process node has made it a relatively niche process node that is appropriate for smaller, low power ASICs (like the latest Apple SOCs). The Apple A8 is rumored to be around 90 mm square, which is a far cry from the traditional midrange GPU that goes from 250 mm sq. to 400+ mm sq.
The essential difficulty of the 20 nm planar node appears to be a lack of power scaling to match the increased transistor density. TSMC and others have successfully packed in more transistors into every square mm as compared to 28 nm, but the electrical characteristics did not scale proportionally well. Yes, there are improvements there per transistor, but when designers pack in all those transistors into a large design, TDP and voltage issues start to arise. As TDP increases, it takes more power to drive the processor, which then leads to more heat. The GPU guys probably looked at this and figured out that while they can achieve a higher transistor density and a wider design, they will have to downclock the entire GPU to hit reasonable TDP levels. When adding these concerns to yields and bins for the new process, the advantages of going to 20 nm would be slim to none at the end of the day.

Toyota first showcased its Lexus LS 600h L nearly a year ago
at the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). At the time, the vehicle was
billed as one of the world's most advanced luxury cars with its hybrid
powertrain and AWD system.
Now, the company has finally announced pricing and an on sale date for its luxury flagship. Early estimates had pegged the LS 600h L as
coming in around the $125,000 USD mark, however, the vehicle will be priced at
$104,750 USD when it arrives in June. This will also make it the first
Lexus vehicle with an MSRP that crosses the $100k USD threshold.
The 5.0 V8 hybrid powertrain will have a combined horsepower
rating of 438HP and will deliver performance on par with V12 luxury sedans from
BMW and Mercedes. Thanks to the hybrid powertrain, however, the LS 600h L will
sip gas like a V6-powered all-wheel-drive luxury sedan and is also rated as a
Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV).
So what does $104,750 USD get you these days? The LS 600h L
will feature LED
headlights, four-zone climate control (with a dedicated A/C unit for the
rear passengers), voice-activated HDD-based navigation system with XM real-time
traffic directing, 19-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, rear DVD
entertainment system with 9" LCD screen, automated parallel parking system
and an Advanced Pre-Collision System (APCS).
For those looking to get your hands on an LS 600h L in June,
don't count on it. Over 1,850 pre-orders for the vehicle have already been
taken and the first-year allocation for the vehicle is almost depleted.
quote: House #1 = Al-GoreHouse #2 = G.W. Bush
quote: BTW, what is the mpg of this car - not even listed in the article.
quote: So while my claim was technically incorrect, I still think the hybrid is only being used to add more power to the vehicle and has nothing to do with fuel economy.
quote: Personally I think the new Cadillacs look awesome. Nice sharp lines. The new BMWs don't look bad but I like the Cadillacs more. If I were buying a luxury car these days it'd be the Cadillac STS-V (I think) with the supercharged DOHC 4.4L V8. The Cadillac CTS-V is also nice as its basically a luxury Corvette.

Ben rips into Blackheath
The gap at the top of the Shepherd Neame Kent Premier League table closed to just two points after Bexley defeated League leaders Blackheath to go third and Sevenoaks Vine jumped to second place after a sizeable win over Lordswood.
Bexley invited visitors Blackheath to have first dig, and Daniel Bell-Drummond 28 and Chris Willetts saw them off to a steady start but it was to be Jason Ben's day as he removed Mohammed Asrufal cheaply and tore into the Blackheath middle order.
He ended with figures of 5-36 as Blackheath were dismissed for a disappointing 126.
Bexley also had to work hard to score runs as Warren Lee set about his work returning the excellent figures of 6-35. George Wells top scored with 23, and Lee's efforts were in vain as Bexley nudged across the line with seven down.
Sevenoaks Vine entertained Lordswood who invited their hosts to bat only to watch a fine 123 from Fabian Cowdrey well supported by Chris Hammond, 41, as the Vine piled on 270 for nine from their allocation of overs.
Amjad Khan returned the best figures of 4-56, Will Greenwood collecting 3-54. Jonathan Prince 42 and Chris Piesley 32 began well but the middle order, Nathan Vernon, 32, apart, floundered against the spin of Cowdrey 3-22 and John Bowden 3-19 and were bowled out for 192 in the 46th over providing a 78 run win for the Vine, lifting them to within two points of Blackheath.
Beckenham shocked local adversaries Bromley with a fine all round display to take a well-deserved twenty points. Bromley chose to bat first but a much improved bowling display kept them well in check preventing them scoring at much above two an over for most of their innings.
Raza Ali Dar bowled with his usual guile taking 4-32 and he was well supported by the other bowlers who all bowled with excellent discipline. Nick Bluett, with an unbeaten 28 and David Smith were top scorers, James Butterfill chipping in with 26, but their total of 146 for eight never looked enough.
And so it was to prove. Raza Ali Dar, 69 and Chris Isles 61 played an attractive array of shots and though both were dismissed shortly before their target was reached they had put the result beyond doubt, providing Beckenham with victory with six wickets in hand.
Bickley Park pocketed sixteen points as they recorded a four-wicket victory over Canterbury. Bickley invited their visitors to bat first and with the wickets shared around, the Canterbury batsmen failed to build on their starts with only Matt Jenkinson 58 and Luke Samarasinghe 37, reaching the thirties.
Their total of 186 for eight proved to be insufficient as Bickley battled away, led by an invaluable 76 by opener Ben Fulton and with Phil Browning chipping a useful 34 their job was almost done.
Hartley's match against Tunbridge Wells on Monday was abandoned due to rain.

I have set an image control in a web page. The image show correctly in desgin time but just show an "x" in run time.
I am using vs2008 installed in Windows 7. The problem didn't found when I used the vs2008 in windows vista.
i have this thus far
when getting the properties of the image i get this:
I have a complicated user control on a form that's laid out they way the business unit wants it. What they would like is to be able to export this content to excel and/or PDF as an image. Basically I need to be able to render the user control as a static image.
Is there any simple way to do this or is it even possible? Since the user control is HTML, it's not really rendered at all at the server level as it's just HTML, so I would assume that I might need to interface with IE library.
I have an image loaded in a div element. (This image will be added dynamically thru JS, based on the option selected by the user).
I have a requirement to open this image in Word, Excel and Pdf applications when those icons (given in the page) are clicked, respectively.
The same code works fine to render a gridview in excel, but not an image. I also tried placing the image element in a table tag.
I would like to save my page (asp.net 3.5) from memory with jpg images directly to a pdf file so that I can email it out to user? I have been search for the topic and found some utility but they require to save in html file then run the converter etc. Appreciate for tip on what utility that I can purchase to do this job in a simple one click button, the c# code behind will handle the pdf generation and mail out the pdf file to user. I did try some utility but they required the .html file to cover to .pdf file. Two of then don't understand the image (Image/example.jpg) path so that I have to preprocess the .html file and change the Image to http://..../Image) before it works. There should be a .dll library outthere that allow me to just capture what is in IE's memory and save directly to a pdf file with one button.View 2 Replies

I have created a server control called BubbleTip.cs . I have also included two related image files, one javascript file and one css file as resource so that people don't need to do any copy & paste work when they use this control. Everything works fine by far, except the CSS background image can't display. The css file is as below:
I'm trying to dynamically refer to one of the included image resource (~ubbleubble.gif) in this css file, so I use <%=WebResource("UMControls.Images.bubble.gif")%> to get the URL. However, the background image can't be displayed. The Css file URL in the HTML page shows like this (in firefox):
My question is how I can make the image URL in the separate CSS resource be converted into the correct resource reference? Or is this possible or not?

I have one ogoing thread [URL]. IN addition to this thread I would like to insert image in newly generated word document. My problem here I can give our hosted server path using Img Source property. I want to copy or embed the imaged in the word document.
Let me know what is the best way to do it using asp.net/C#.
I got a $(document).ready() handler in my aspx page that fires twice. I trapped it to the follwing line of html (this line is part of the itemtemplate of a listview):
<img src='Images.ashx?Url=<%# Eval("Url")%>&Type=3' alt=''>
Seems that using the images.ashx is causing my problem, putting a 'normal' url as src gives me no problems.
It must be because the handler is called, but why is loading an image giving a second fire on $(document).ready()
It is only in IE8. Chrome, FF and safari work as expected.
I've been watching a video on Scott Hanselmnn teaching MVC 2 tricks/tips. He mentions how MVC 2 by default uses ASP.NET Web Forms view engine to render the output of the views; he mentions that the web forms view engine is a little slower than it could be for MVC 2 since it generates a control tree and then outputs the HTML to the page (I hope I said that right).
I was wondering what he meant by web forms generating a code tree before outputting the HTML to the page. Does anyone have insight on the view engine of Web forms and the steps of the rendering process works for ASP.NET and MVC2?
We have some reports that are loaded on a asp.net webpage via the localreport.render() and a request has come in to hide a logo image if it is displayed inline as html on the page and only show the image if it's rendered as a pdf.
is there any way to determine the render mode in the report so i can create an expression to set the display property to hidden for the logo image if it's not pdf mode?
I am doing a rework on one of my sites and I am attempting to use the asp:menu control.

I'm working on a gridview with an imagebutton in an item template to which I assign the ImageURL from local and remote urls in the RowDataBound event. I've been using the height and width properties from System.Drawing.Image.FromFile([path]) and System.Drawing.Image.FromStream([stream]) to rescale the imagebuttons so they're all the same width.
This works okay except that I'm taking a hit on performance because some of the images are pretty big and some of the gridview instances have quite a few images in them so I've been trying to get the "true image resizing" approach described here
It looks like it has some potential to reduce the size of my images until I get to the end and I just don't see how I can use the result of [FullSizeImage].GetThumbnailImage(...) as an image source for for my imagebutton?

But it does not work. Image is like Previous. Note that ImageOperations.ResizeFromStream() method resizes and saves the image to a specefic folder. actually I should trigger a Postback to Update the Update Panel but How to do that. I usedUpdatePanelNew.Update(); but it does not work!
I have a fileupload control in a contentplaceholder in a masterpage. I have to preview the image whenever I browse an image beside it in an imagecontrol.
My application is running on a different server .So I can't give the filepath of my local system.
Also I don't want to store the image in any location and i'm not supposed to use any session variable to pass it to generic handler.

Groton — The leader of Submarine Group Two told a group of military personnel, retirees and Electric Boat employees Friday that he is prioritizing work essential to ensuring submarines are ready to deploy while the government is shut down.
Five submarines in the group he oversees are deployed today: the USS Helena, USS Dallas, USS Scranton, USS Missouri and USS Virginia, Rear Adm. Kenneth M. Perry said at the Naval Submarine League Nautilus Chapter luncheon Friday.
Perry said afterward in an interview that the group has felt the impacts this week of the government shutdown, mainly due to the furloughs of federal employees. About 750 Defense Department civilians who work at the Naval Submarine Base and 217 civilians who inspect EB's work on submarines at the Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair (SUPSHIP) office were furloughed Tuesday.
The heads of the commands on the base are talking regularly about how to "keep the main thing, the main thing" — deploying combat-ready submarines on time, Perry said.
That common purpose, he said, has "been an enabler in our ability to deal with this situation."
Military personnel were not transferring on time because civilians in the office that process those orders were furloughed, so some of those furloughed employees were brought back to work, Perry said. Other offices are open for limited hours, and service members are performing additional duties, he added.
The SUPSHIP office cannot certify EB's work on submarines currently under construction or on those in the shipyard for maintenance, which could eventually delay those submarines from returning to the fleet.
"The civilian component of the Navy team is essential," Perry said.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution to extend the current spending rates for six weeks but also to delay the Affordable Care Act, which Senate leaders said they would not do. The shutdown began Tuesday.
"We have got some challenges to work through, of course, right now — these past few days in particular," Perry said. "But I remain committed, and Submarine Group Two remains committed, to maintaining the readiness of the ships that are on deployment, preparing the ships fully for deployment and applying those resources in that priority manner."
But Perry spent most of his time with his audience talking about the feats of the submarines in the group, particularly their ability to shift course and respond to new missions quickly, and about his other role as head of a 60-person task force that will figure out how to bring enlisted women aboard submarines.
Last year, one submarine was getting ready to go to the U.S. Central Command but was sent to the Mediterranean instead because of the events in Libya. Next, the commanding officer was told to travel 900 miles overnight to get closer to Syria, and the submarine provided critical information from that region, Perry said.
Not all elements of the military are that agile, Perry said, and that agility has helped earn the submarine force strong support in Congress.
Perry asked for the group's support for the plan to bring enlisted women aboard submarines. Soon the plan will be made public, and the Navy wants to get more women interested in joining the submarine force.
The Navy lifted its ban on women serving aboard submarines in 2010 and started assigning female officers first to the larger, ballistic-missile and guided-missile submarines. The Navy announced in January that female officers will begin reporting to attack submarines in fiscal year 2015, and, as the next step, enlisted women will be considered for sub duty.
Forty female officers are currently serving on 12 submarine crews, Perry said. The biggest challenge the task force faces, he added, is figuring out how women can have a successful career in the submarine force — which often entails going to sea for long periods of time — and a family as well.
The standards people must meet to be a submariner will continue to be gender-neutral, Perry said, but it may not be wise not to acknowledge that men and women are different and the life/work balance is fundamentally different for a woman than it is for a man.
Perry was supposed to travel next week for his work on the task force, but that trip was canceled because travel has been severely restricted during the shutdown.
Most of the questions from the audience were about the task force and about the Navy's decision to eliminate his job.
Perry, who is responsible for all of the attack submarines on the East Coast, likely will be the last Submarine Group Two commander as the Navy cuts, consolidates or reduces in rank rear admiral and vice admiral positions.
The submarine force is preparing a transition plan, Perry said, and Groton's standing as the Submarine Capital of the World and the center of excellence for the force will not change.
Perry stressed that the five submarines currently deployed are doing great work.
"We're deployed, we're forward, we're ready," he said. "… Our mission focus and our priorities have not changed."

Australian journalist Helen Thomas was the first to ask the question. "Do you find it hard to believe that we are able to function here and do our work?"
We were wading through a literal sea of humanity housed on a volcanic landscape that mirrored Dante's Inferno. Children clung to our arms as if our limbs were the branches of trees. The doctor warned us to avoid touching, since disease was present in every snotty nose and dirty hand that reached for comfort. You cannot say no to the begging for human touch, and soon rivers of green, yellow, and brown fluids from runny noses cover arms and hands and clothing, and eventually you give up trying to clean it off. The stench is overpowering--13,360 adults and 7,000 children crammed into huts unfit for animals. It is a little over a week since Christmas day and it occurs to you that even HE was born into better conditions than this.
Miserable impressions flood the mind and you are soon overwhelmed and manage to hover above it all, recording images and sounds with cameras and recorders that do the job because there is no way you could ever remember all of this--or would want to. It is only when the writer comes to the page that the tears begin to fall.
The writer sits at the laptop and scrolls through thousands of photos of misery and the one that stands out is the kite made of plastic sheeting donated by the UN High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR) and flown by the kid who was eager for you to notice his success with the tattered thing that floats on the clean wind. The child wanted you to take a photo of his kite, and you did, but he will never see the photo and even if you went back to deliver it you would never find the kid, IF he were still alive. You reject the photo because the image will not transfer to the Internet--clear plastic against blue sky is not compelling. You had to be there.
Other photos remind you of the feverish, blank stares in the eyes of the sick babies.
Understand that this is the reality of the Mugunga II refugee camp located near Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Imagine a small city with no infrastructure. No electricity, stores, medical care, food, little water and no blankets to cover the newborn whose cries are a testimony to their fight for life. Imagine women working as volunteer midwives who carry pregnant rape victims on their backs from the forests to the relative "safety" of this landscape.
The preacher in the UNHCR tent raises his arms and thanks God for the whites who have come from far away to fulfill HIS promise to his people. But the muzungas (whites) are not bearing anything that can possibly be of any use to these people. You dare not offer a biscuit to the hungry child with the outstretched arms because you cannot multiply it to feed 20,000. Suddenly you realize the Bible stories you learned were myth. There is no one to save these abandoned ones.
Mugunga II camp is near three other sites of Mugunga III, Buhumba and Bulengo. These "cities" are the legacy of fighting in North Kivu Province that intensified at the end of 2006. By January 2008, the total number of IDPs in the region was more than 800,000. Since the fighting resumed in August, some 250,000 additional civilians have fled, many of them already displaced.
Women, constant targets of sexual violence, are eager to step forward with their stories and offer witness.
It is the women who try to stitch together the tattered remnants of civilized society. The displaced men roam the camps in a kind of stupor.
Even outside of the IDP camps, DRC is one of the poorest countries in the world. 60 million people have suffered from decades of plundering and looting of the county's resources by corrupt leaders. Two civil wars have shredded the social fabric and created a total societal breakdown in some areas. Six million souls have been lost since 1996 and those that survive exist on less than $1 per day.
UNHCR estimates that there are over 1.1 million internally displaced people in eastern DRC requiring humanitarian assistance.
One of the women leaders at Mugunga II hands us a written request. The needs are simple: some mattresses so the babies do not have to sleep on the rocks, some cloth for covering the babies, water containers and pots for cooking. She bows her head, ashamed to ask even for this.
We take her request, thank her, and walk away. Some children are building castles in the sand piled near the camp entrance. Focus on the child with no shoes and it could be just another day at the beach.

.- The Catholic relief association, Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) recently reported on the dire situation of Christians living in Israel's West Bank, since the Hamas party came to power. "The crisis for the area's about 150,000 Christians has deepened," they said, "especially with increased intolerance to non-Muslims."
In an interview with ACN, Victor Tabash, a shopkeeper from Bethlehem who sells Christian devotional gifts, put it this way: "It has become awful living here. We do not believe what is happening. Since the election, things have been getting worse and worse."
With a squeeze on public finances and frequent problems traveling to Jerusalem where many Palestinians work and shop, many reported that Israeli authorities frequently close roads, preventing access to Tel Aviv Airport and the city center.
ACN has offered help to Christian shopkeepers by retailing their hand-made olive devotional items such as crucifixes, cribs and rosaries, an act which is generating funds for Christians in the West Bank.
Mr. Tabash said: "The ACN project is doing a great job for us. We now have orders being sent out from all over the world, from Canada to Australia and now Poland."
In the last 40 years, the Christian population in the West Bank has slumped from about 20 percent of the total to less than two percent today.

I read the July 9 front-page story "Waterfront project expenses on the money" about the city's $45 million undertaking of the waterfront project and extension of the Renaissance Trail, in southwest downtown.
While I watch and support the progress of this new Vancouver gem, I was reminded of my favorite urban jewel neglected for three years now — that part of the Renaissance Trail where sections of the walkway were washed out in flooding in 2011 at Tidewater Cove.
Since then, the city could only manage to put up a cheesy chain-link fence to keep pedestrians out of the area on both sides of the washout. The city and/or Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation cited as having no funds to engineer and repair the damages. It seems an enigma that new construction can be undertaken at huge city costs on the west side of the trail, while maintenance on the east side cannot be addressed.
I see some credibility problems that the city can create urban jewels, but can't seem to keep them polished.

Are you one of those people who think that career management is something you do only when youre looking for a new job? If you are, youll be missing the boat as nurses in the know get a handle on managing their careers.
Career management is actually a state of mind. Its not something you implement when making a change; rather, its an ongoing process of professional and personal development designed to enhance your current and future career opportunities. You can be certain of one thing today: Your job will change, whether you like it or not. So be ready. That is, whether youre happily employed, out of work, looking to make a change, or simply considering future career opportunities, career management is where its at. Remember, the best time to look for your next job is while youre employed.
Career management is your road map to success. Its a systematic, ongoing process of setting goals, developing professional relationships, getting a grip on the big picture, moving forward, and exploring options. So, how do you actively manage your career in a new healthcare market? Here are a few basics:
Attend Career Fairs
Career fairs offer excellent opportunities to network with your peers, find out whats happening in your specialty at other facilities, attend continuing education classes, and meet with representatives from educational institutions who offer information about higher learning and specialty training.
Network Actively
Networking is about getting out and meeting new people and reconnecting with those you already know. Networking can be done not only at career fairs, but at nursing and healthcare conventions, professional association meetings, social events virtually everywhere. Networking keeps you in touch with your profession. Its the nurses who stay isolated who feel trapped.
Set Specific Career Goals
Just as you have a plan of care for the patients you treat, you should also have a plan for your career. Having written goals for your career, including your education, will actually motivate you to get moving. They will also give you a clear path to follow, rather than your floundering around wondering what you should do next.
Its not enough to simply think about where you want to be five years from now. You should envision your ideal circumstances in terms of type of work, work environment, salary, and position (management, staff, self-employed and so on) and make concrete plans to work toward that. Your goals need to be written, have time frames, and present a challenge to you. For example, if youre thinking about going back to school, set a written goal that you will be enrolled in a baccalaureate or masters program within the next year.
If you dont know where you want to be in five years or even next year for that matter get out and start talking to people. Discuss possible options with your friends and family, and start gathering information on salaries, job opportunities, and work responsibilities.
Investigate Career Options
Exploring career options both traditional and nontraditional is something every nurse should be doing all the time. Just knowing that you have options is the best antidote for anxiety about the future. Its also exciting to learn what members of our profession are doing. Staying informed will also prevent burnout, which results when individuals feel that they have no choices. Attend seminars and workshops, explore the nurse.com website for career options and alternatives and talk to nurses who are working in areas different from yours.
Professional Development
Career management involves actively working on professional development, including management, communication, and business skills. Clinical skills arent enough for career growth and advancement. Todays nurse has to be a master communicator, negotiator, manager, financier, and innovator. These skills do not come naturally to anyone; they are learned and practiced. Give yourself a competitive edge by taking courses, reading, and observing experienced people. Seek out assignments where you can hone some of these skills.
Develop Future Vision
Stay ahead of the game by keeping an eye on the future. Keep abreast of predicted changes in healthcare and nursing by getting active in professional associations. Read healthcare news magazines. Listen to what healthcare economists are predicting for the future of your profession. Find out where nursing jobs will be in the next five years. You cant plan for your future if you dont know what it holds.

Hey guys, I'm having fun editing Google Maps and have been adding local paths and such in RVA. I'm running out of stuff to do, so if you have GPS logs of bike paths that are in KML format, host them somewhere and post the URL and I can add it to google maps for you! It'll be a trail so no cars will attempt the turns etc. Just be sure to include notes in your post about where the trails connect with local roads and such so I can get intersections correct.
Happy Mapping!
Some of the recent additions:
http://g.co/maps/sua3n It's the beginning of the Virginia Capital Trail that will go from Richmond, VA to Jamestown, VA. Should be pretty cool once it's finished in a few years.
So post up for KML URLs and I'll get to mapping your paths!
