It is muddled and surprising, a mound of disturbing news piled on top of bad news. This is what politics in Alberta has become – an untidy affair for the Progressive Conservative government and its former premier, Alison Redford.
Since new allegations surfaced against Ms. Redford over her travel tendencies, pundits and politicians have been abuzz about how her fall from power could take the PC party down with her.
The Tories have ruled Alberta for more than 40 years and their ousting in early 2016 would be viewed as a monumental failure. Opposition members have called for an RCMP investigation into the former premier's air travel, which included her aides making bogus passenger bookings, then cancelling them late so Ms. Redford could fly alone.
The public backlash over that has made the Tories especially vulnerable.
"I thought over a year ago that the PCs would lose the next election," said Trevor Harrison, a professor of political sociology at the University of Lethbridge. "I'm more confident of that than ever. It's a party in deep trouble. It's the gift that keeps on giving for the Wildrose Party."
Ms. Redford's three years in office produced a series of misadventures. In 2011, she froze the wages of top management officials for three years. Just this week the government confirmed the salary freeze had long ago been dropped and that top managers had received a 7-per-cent raise.
Then there was the 2013 budget backed by Ms. Redford that managed to anger even long-time Tory loyalists. There was the $45,000 bill for attending the funeral of Nelson Mandela in South Africa. And there was the $3,100 Ms. Redford had to pay back for letting her daughter fly with her aboard government planes.
The Tories assumed they were done with the controversies when Ms. Redford resigned in March. But eyebrows were raised again this week when a leaked copy of an Auditor-General's report exposed how Ms. Redford's staff manipulated flight reservations.
Former Tory Len Webber said there were trips to and from Calgary where the premier would fly in one plane while MLAs and their staff took another. On occasion, the second plane was full, which meant party members such as Mr. Webber had to drive instead.
"It was building to the point where I couldn't stay on with Alison Redford as our premier," said Mr. Webber, who left the PCs in March to sit as an independent. "With respect to how she led the party and how she treated people – that was a reason I left."
There is a way for the Tories to remake themselves. The problem, according to one political strategist, is that it takes time and patience to rebuild public trust.
"No. 1, they have to 'hope and pray' that the Redford disclosures are at an end," assessed Geoff Norquay, a principal with the Earnscliffe Strategy Group in Ottawa as well as a former policy adviser for prime minister Brian Mulroney. "No. 2, this caretaker government under Dave Hancock needs to avoid mistakes like the licence plate fiasco."
The province displayed a selection of possibilities for the new plates, all without the words Wild Rose Country on them. It was seen for what it was – a way to keep the Wildrose party from getting any publicity at the PCs' expense.
As for the party's next leader, Jim Prentice is favoured to win it in September. He has managed to sidestep Ms. Redford's worst scandals, but he has had ties with her in the past. Ms. Redford articled at his law firm. He, in turn, praised her early work as premier.
Still, Mr. Prentice brings what the former premier squandered – hope for the Tories. And that's a valuable commodity.
"Prentice has a back record federally [as minister of industry]," said Keith Brownsey, who teaches political studies at Calgary's Mount Royal University. "He has a good reputation with native people as well as the business community.
"He will come in as the saviour on a white horse."
That would fill the leadership void two years out from an Alberta election. On the flip side, that's time enough for more damages to ooze their way to the surface and leave a mess.
"No one can say Alberta politics is boring," said Prof. Harrison.Report Typo/Error

Jessica Ennis is too young to remember Linford Christie's gold medal winning sprint at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, but the story of the controversial athlete who overcame the odds to be crowned the Games' oldest 100m champion in history has become the inspirational focal point for the British team preparing for the European Championships next week.
In his team talk, the head coach Charles van Commenee showed a clip of Christie's race in which, aged 32, the Londoner won his Olympic sprint title, to motivate the team.
"Charles put a clip of the championships up and it looked amazing, the atmosphere and everything," said Ennis, who is preparing to attack the European heptathlon title in the same stadium. "It was really nice, it sent a tingle up your spine." The 24-year-old was only six years old in 1992 when Christie and Sally Gunnell, members of Britain's so-called golden generation of athletes, won gold. "I can't remember watching it [at the time] really. If I said I remembered bits it would probably be false memories as I was quite young. It's more what I've seen, clips of it, growing up."
Ennis described how Christie, who is at the team training camp in Portugal looking after his own athletes – among them Mark Lewis-Francis, Conrad Williams and Laura Turner – was asked by Van Commenee to share his experiences with the rest of the British team. "He said a few words and read a poem. It was inspiring. He wrote his own poem – oh my god I hope I don't get in trouble for telling you this – and then he read another poem by someone else. His poem was about his experiences in Barcelona and going out there and how he performed. It was quite short but it was really funny."
Christie's second poem was Desiderata – desired things – by the American poet Max Ehrmann. It ends with the stanza: "With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams/it is still a beautiful world/Be cheerful/Strive to be happy," which some might say aptly sums up Christie's view of the world after he was banned from competing in the sport because of a positive drugs test for nandrolone in 1999 – a conviction over which he continues to protest his innocence. Christie also received a lifelong accreditation ban from the Olympic Games by the British Olympic Association, and was not a member of the successful 2012 bid-winning team.
While opinion remains divided – Paula Radcliffe famously spoke out against Christie's appointment to mentor athletes on the national team – Van Commenee clearly did not see any problem in using him as a motivational speaker ahead of the European Championships.
As the appointed team captain Ennis's own team talk followed Christie's. "I couldn't quite live up to that," said the world indoor and outdoor gold medallist. "I was very nervous about it. Linford said a few words and was really good which made me even more nervous, but I didn't mess anything up. I can't honestly remember what I said, I think I was just waffling on. I talked about my experience at championships and tried to inspire people, and about my injury and getting through injuries, just touching on my personal experiences. I'm not brilliant at speeches, I'd rather get on with it and just do it."
Ennis's own story is inspirational itself. After being ruled out of competing at the 2008 Olympics because of a stress fracture in her right foot, and being warned by doctors that she may never run again, the Sheffield-based athlete made a phenomenal comeback, destroying the field to win the World Championships last summer and the World Indoor title in March this year. She has continued to improve in this outdoor season, despite an ear infection, and could well break Denise Lewis's 10-year-old British record of 6,831 points next week.
"I'm feeling back to where I was, if not a bit better," said Ennis, whose own best is just 100 points off Lewis's mark. "I'd like to think I can get close to it [the record] if not break it but I just have to wait and see. It would be a really good record to break but I'm just conscious I don't want to get fixated on it too much, then it won't happen. I just hope I put the other parts together and then the record comes with it. I've heard it's a very quick track. I'm looking forward to running on it and getting a quick time, hopefully, in the 100m hurdles and the 200m."
One of only two current British world champions – the other is triple jumper Phillips Idowu – a gold medal here would bode well for 2012, a fact that Ennis is similarly conscious of. "I want to improve and make changes each year. I really want to be in the right place come 2012."

Nvidia: New games with GPU accelerated Physx
Nvidia has announced that more games will be utilizing GPU accelerated Physx effects. Among those titles are: Terminator Salvation, Dark Void and Darkest Days.
Nvidia was able to convince further game developers to use the GPU acceleration of the Physx Engine. Terminator Salvation, Dark Void and Darkest Days will utilize Physx and its GPU acceleration. Thus Nvidia graphics cards (Geforce 8 series and newer) will receive performance and quality benefits in those games.
Terminator Salvation will be released on May 21, 2009. The Third Person action Adventure takes place in the year 2016 and is said to deliver Physx based weapon effects and destructible environment. Dark Void is scheduled for fall 2009 and is supposed to use GPU Physx for weapon and debris effects. Darkest Days is a time travel game and the First Person Shooter is also planned for fall 2009. In several historical battles GPU Physx is supposed to be used in order to simulate destructible environment, realistic Flora and Fauna as well as wind, fog, smoke Vulcan ash and snow.
Sega also announced that the development studios all over the world will use the Physx technology. In our picture gallery below you can find screenshots of the mentioned games. Currently we cannot estimate how the Physx effects will look like or how good the CPU fallback will be.

Hughes on the spot
Jeff Hughes netted a late penalty to give Bristol Rovers a 1-0 win over Huddersfield in a full-blooded scrap.
Last Updated: 22/08/09 6:29pm
Jeff Hughes netted a late penalty to give Bristol Rovers a 1-0 win over Huddersfield in a full-blooded scrap at the Memorial Ground.
The midfielder coolly slotted home a left-footed spot-kick in the 83rd minute after Huddersfield defender Andy Butler had been penalised for handball.
Darryl Duffy had missed a 16th-minute penalty for Rovers as his tame effort was easily saved by Alex Smithies, who had brought down Chris Lines.
Huddersfield played their part in an entertaining game of few clear-cut chances, but lacked the penetration to trouble a well-drilled Rovers defence.
Their best chance came when substitute Theo Robinson broke away in the second half, but Rovers goalkeeper Fraser Forster got a vital touch as his opponent tried to go around him.
For Rovers, Byron Anthony had a header cleared off the line and the lively Jo Kuffour forced a good first-half save from Smithies as Rovers' good start continued. The Terriers tasted defeat for the first time this season.

Like seriously?
Like seriously?
Some become shy when their comments are derided (it happens more than one would think)... many even leave (hill, Maryd., daffy for instance). I try to stick to games and poetry (and a few others) and leave my betters to expound (or not) on the more esoteric. Even in the poetry threads there are some who take offense when critique doesn't meet their expectations... so I rarely comment anymore, though I read everything of the poetic vein.

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, The Bremen Town Musicians
If I find a post interesting, I post something on it. I like talking especially about stuff I know little about because that is the way I learn. But it takes time and energy to make even a simple comment. It is true some people as tailor STATELY mentions are intimidated. Also Danik makes a good point that people who start threads don't seem interested in keeping the conversation going when they do get comments.

I work hard to bring you guys something to read and nobody responds!
Have you seen Dato´s review of your last short story?
"You can always find something better than death."
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, The Bremen Town Musicians
This is a slow time on the forum, both for postings and feedback. In the past, we've had more of both, and hopefully that wave comes in again.
Regarding your posts specifically, you might look at the first part of Tailor's reply to this one and then reread your often unwelcoming, to put it mildly, responses to others who have tried to offer you feedback. It's nonsensical to repeatedly tell people outright to stop posting in your threads simply because their response doesn't exactly fit the only template you've decided you will accept, and then wonder why nobody does.
You are right about writing being hard work, and I don't doubt the effort you put into yours. You have gotten compliments. My suggestion at this point would be to create a new account and adopt a new philosophy and try posting again.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Mahatma Gandhi
As Tailor has noted, many of the past contributors, ( inclusive some rather exotic individuals) have disappeared, or input less frequently.
In my own case, I used to write short stories, but dried up!!!

Sandworm is an organic structure/space/creature realized on the dunes of the Wenduine coastline, Belgium. The 45 meters long and 10 m wide and high installation moves freely in-between architecture and environmental art and is constructed entirely out of willow following the local knowledge of a continuing interaction between work and environment. Casagrande worked hard with his team of young architects and local experts for 4 weeks in order to create something that he describes as "weak architecture" – a human made structure that wishes to become part of nature through flexibility and organic presence.

Dior's Addict IT Line promises high-fashion, bold eye looks with easy application and removal, but it just can't live up to the hype—not even close!
IT Line comes in a tube with a screw top that's also a wand with a brush at the end. The brush is very small and thin, which is supposed to allow for precise application. The issue is that the bristles are very pliable instead of somewhat stiff, so they splay a bit when you're putting this on your lids, which can get messy! That's not to say you can't use this liner given time, practice, and patience, but it's certainly not the most user-friendly application method. (We ended up with liner all over our lids the first couple of times!)
As for the liner itself, it's glossy and has intense color—you don't need a lot for a dramatic effect. It wears well for about four hours, but after that, despite its initial intensity, it begins to fade, and there is some flaking as well. As Dior advertises, however, it is easy to remove, coming off with just a cleanser and warm water instead of a requiring a waterproof makeup remover.
Dior Addict IT Line comes in four colors, with black being the most versatile. The other colors include vibrant blue, pink, and purple; not bad, but not to everyone's taste or occasion, either.
Overall, for what you're paying for this liner, you could be getting so much more! Check out our list of Best Eyeliners, including some that are much less expensive.
Dior At-A-Glance
Strengths:Nearly all of the SPF-related products offer sufficient UVA protection; a few extraordinary foundations and mascaras; a good liquid concealer; an excellent powder eyeshadow set; some good lipsticks and eyeliners.
Weaknesses: Expensive; lackluster moisturizers and serums that contain more fragrance and preservatives than elegant ingredients; irritating toners and self-tanners; ordinary masks; lack of products to address the needs of those with blemishes or skin discolorations; some foundations with SPF ratings that are too low; mostly average makeup brushes.
If you're looking for a clear-cut case of style winning out over substance, here it is. The Dior name is synonymous with couture fashion and countless other lifestyle accoutrements, but they continue to falter when it comes to establishing a first-rate collection of skin-care products. Of course, the company believes their products are the crème de la crème and if we're judging on aesthetics alone, we see what they mean. However, what's inside the gorgeous components is what counts for your skin, and Dior's formulas leave a lot to be desired. On one hand, it's great that all of their sunscreens contain sufficient UVA protection; on the other, all of their moisturizers either leave skin wanting more or contain problematic ingredients with no skin-redeeming qualities.
Fragrance is huge for Dior, and a visit to their counter attests to this, as fragrances line the counter right beside the skin-care tester unit. It would be better for skin if the two categories were kept separate, but in most cases the amount of fragrance added to Dior's skin-care products is greater than the token amounts of state-of-the-art ingredients (and the effectiveness of most of those is further diminished by jar packaging). If you wouldn't put perfume on your face, think twice about applying it in the form of an expensive skin-care product.
On the plus side, there are a few very good products to consider if you don't mind spending the extra money. If you're a fan of Dior's fashions and want to experiment with their cosmetic products, you'll find that their makeup outshines the skin care and has improved in ways that keep the panache while making genuine improvements. Despite all manner of claims to the contrary (everything from purifying pores to lifting skin to the point that sagging is a thing of the past), the most attractive part of Dior's formulas is how they're dressed, not how they perform.
For more information about Dior, call (212) 931-2200 or visit www.dior.com.
Dior Makeup
Always fashion-forward, Dior's makeup is more well-designed and attractive than ever, offering standout products in almost every category. The most notable change over the past several years has been Dior's improved foundation formulas and shades. It's now the exception rather than the rule to find overtly peach, pink, or rose-toned shades among Dior's many complexion-enhancing options. Even better, Dior has recently introduced foundations to compensate for its previous too-low SPF efforts, with formulas available in SPF 15, 20 and 25, a couple of which even include UVA-protecting ingredients. Such a move shows that while Dior may still struggle with an overall lackluster skin care line, they are at least working to meet dermatologist-recommended benchmarks for sun protection.
You will also be very impressed with Dior's powder blush, eyeshadows (though their shiny finish is not the best for Baby Boomer eyes), the DiorSkin concealer, brow gel, and most of the mascaras. If you're a fan of lip gloss and are willing to tolerate a double-digit price, you'll be in cosmetics heaven wading through all the lip-shining options here. On the flip side, neither the standard pencils nor most of the lipsticks are worth the money. With any designer-based line built on artifice, price is more than a matter of dollars. It's indicative of a company's image and remains a prestige factor that often speaks louder than the products themselves. Dior is guilty of maximizing its assets to play up its image, but with their makeup line the good news for you is that, for the most part, they really pay attention to what's inside all the luxe containers, too.
One more note: Dior's makeup tester units are much more accessible and user-friendly than for previous editions of this book. We also found their counter staff to be more accommodating and definitely less condescending than several other European-bred lines.
Note: Dior is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Dior does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Beautypedia Research Team.
The Beautypedia and Paula's Choice Research teams have one mission: To help you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or another brand. By combining efforts, we're able to share scientific research and remain committed to the highest standards based on our decades of experience objectively reviewing thousands upon thousands of skincare and makeup formularies in all price ranges.
Beautypedia cuts through the hype to bring you product insights and recommendations you won't find anywhere else!

If you want to score a look that seems high-maintenance without actually doing the work, these easy-to-blend crayons are for you. They're the ultimate in fuss-free shadow. The pearlescent formula glides on effortlessly and leaves behind a long-lasting dose of pigment. Wear it alone for a polished vibe, or combine it with a powder shadow for extra dimension.
I was not very pleased with this product! When I received it it had melted, so I let it sit for a couple days, when I went to use it the whole stick fell out of applicator. I did try to use it by using my finger and I love the color and the way it went on with my finger. But I wouldn't try any others because of the way it was when I received it!3
I purchased this in Rococo - the color is a really pretty, shimmery champagne and looks nice in the waterline, corners of eyes, and either alone on lids or as a base for other eyeshadows if you want a little shimmer to shine through. For me, the color does crease and travel, but is easy to apply and comes with a sharpener on the end of the crayon.4
I am traveling all summer and wanted something that was neutral, easy to apply, and wouldnt be messy. I think I found the perfect combination. I now want this in all colors. SO easy to put on, blendable, and I got a compliment about 5 minutes after I put this color on. It's a shimmery dark taupe, I guess, and makes my hazel eyes look smokey. I have medium skin, and it's subtle and natural looking, but I can build it for more color. Overall, this is fantastic and just waht I was looking for.5

You may be pretty open and laid back about porn, but could you watch it sitting next to the person starring in it and keep a straight face?
I'd give it a good go, to be fair.
These two videos are exactly that, one is men sitting with porn stars, watching their every move, literally, and the other is women doing the same.
"Girl! Does that not hurt?!" is a particular highlight of that one for me.
The girl watching the Star Wars themed porn is brilliant. "What's Darth Vader doing this whole time?!"… Watching, probably. Although his breathing will be louder than normal.
Which porn star would you want to sit and watch scenes with? I'd go for Bonnie Rotten… I imagine there is a lot of scope for questions with her!

Yes. There is something magic to managerial types when you say "This is not 1.0" that make them realize that things are far from reliable/stable/practical from an operations perspective.

Ruby Real Life Demo: AMD shows new quality of real-time character rendering - Video update
On a closed event AMD didn't just introduce Ati Eyefinity for DirectX 11 Radeons (possible Radeon HD 5870), but showed a new Ruby technology demo, too. That's at least what first screenshots indicate.
Original article: September 11, 2009
With a rather inconspicuous presentation the headline which said "AMD Demonstrates the PC's Next Act", AMD has indicated that the new Ati Radeon family will be able to display "incredibly complex virtual environments and characters unlike anything seen before".
Unfortunately the press release, which can be found at AMD.com, doesn't deliver more detailed information. AMD at least linked to some pictures. The first two pictures show the known Ruby 2.0 demo, which is based on Cinema 2.0. This demo is, with a mixture of Ray Tracing and Voxel Rendering, absolutely free of polygons. PC Games Hardware already reported back in 2008 that the Ruby demo wasn't based on the traditional Rasterization. By the way: The Ruby 2.0 tech demo has never been released.
But AMD offers additional pictures of some kind of Real Life Ruby, that's what the title of the pictures hint at. Those pictures are an example for the new realism of characters mentioned above - calculated in real-time apparently. Striking: The pictures called Ruby_Rendered deliver EXIF files of a digital camera, so they seem to be real photos. The other pictures on the contrary apparently are real renderings - but then the final rendering of the original is missing. AMD did not yet comment on this situation, but we will deliver any statement as soon as possible.
Update: September 23, 2009
AMD has released a video that shows the Ruby Real Life Demo. In the clip below at 5:33 you can see that the modeled head is rendered, illuminated and rotated in real-time. For this purpose a DirectX 11 graphics cards with a GPU that uses Compute Shader to calculate the new Ruby.
In relation to the topic we also recommend the articles Radeon HD 5800: Realistic specifications and pictures of the DirectX 11 graphics card, Ati Eyefinity: Extreme gaming with 24 displays and Radeon tech demos from 2001 until today.

Snow Wheelin in Big Bear Today
Xjrichard and I made a last minute trip up the hill today and hit Gold Mountain with the kiddies for a little wheelin and sledding. Not much snow at the Hwy 18 start off point but as we got closer to the peak there was about 5" or so. The north facing side had a bit more.
Wheelin-wise it was really uneventful. The long rocky shelf section (after the first waterfall) was a bit slippery and the only place we got out of the Jeeps until we got to the top and let the kids out to play.
Overall it was a great little trip. Incredibly beautiful up there right now. Richard busted out the mini-burner and made excellent coffee and then hot chocolate for the little guys - who had the most fun of all. Piping hot coffee and hot cocoa at 8k ft. was pretty awesome :thumb:
I took many pics w my camera but I'm too lazy to upload them right now. I also took a few w my phone which I'll post here.
I'm definitely looking forward to future snow trips! :thumb:
I think I saw you guys on 3N16. Nice pictures!
Nice pics looks beautiful up there and good to hear the kids enjoyed it, to me that os what owning a Jeep is all about.
Looks like a good time! I like the sticker selection on your jeep too

During the Napoleonic wars it supplied delicacies in hampers to officers fighting in Spain and Portugal. Nineteenth-century specialities included a whole truffled pheasant for 15 shillings.
Fortnum's became the supplier of choice on aristocratic high days and holidays such as Royal Ascot and Cowes week. On Derby Day the entire staff would be on duty from 4am preparing hampers.
In 1951 the Weston family bought a controlling stake from the Maharajah of Baroda. The royal links continue with warrants to the Queen and Prince Charles.Reuse content

More homeowners are undertaking remodeling projects than they were one year ago, while home equity lending has been on the rise as well.
Building permits issued for residential remodeling projects in December were up 9 percent over their level of 12 months earlier, according to new figures from BuildFax, a national database of construction permits. Residential remodeling permits were issued at an annual rate of 2,937,000 in December, up from the December 2012 rate of 2,704,000.
Remodeling activity was up in all major regions except the Northeast, with the biggest increases seen in the West and South, according to BuildFax chief technology officer Joe Emison.
The U.S. Census Bureau reported earlier this month that Americans spent $130 billion on home remodeling projects in 2013, a 3.1 percent increase over 2012 and the highest since 2007.
Rising home values boost equity
That increase appears to have been supported by a rise in home equity lending last year. Moody's Analytics reports that home equity lending rose 18 percent in 2013, to a total of $123.4 billion for the year. That increase was driven mostly by a rise in property values, which gave homeowners more equity to work with.
The real estate data firm CoreLogic estimates that two-thirds of all U.S. homeowners had at least 20 percent equity in their homes as of late last year, compared to just over half in 2011.
The recent boom in remodeling activity is expected to continue well into this year, according to projections by both the National Association of Home Builders and the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University.

The demos in my F# talks use a number of coding snippets to acquire, generate and display data interactively. Some of these little snippets are not so well known, but they are useful 🙂
One pattern is displaying tabular data interactively using a DataGrid view. For example, this is used to show the progressive results of
- web crawls (both synchronous and asynchronous)
- parallel background image processing
- results of analyzing log files
and can be used for just about any purpose where you need to quickly view tabular data.
The basic snippet is very simple, e.g. consider the following:
let form = new Form(Visible = true, Text = "A Simple F# Form",
open System.Drawing
open System.Windows.Forms
TopMost = true, Size = Size(600,600))
let data = new DataGridView(Dock = DockStyle.Fill, Text = "F# Programming is Fun!",
Font = new Font("Lucida Console",12.0f),
ForeColor = Color.DarkBlue)
data.DataSource <- [| ("http://www.bing.com",0);
("http://www.google.com",0) |]
data.Columns.[0].Width <- 400
When run from F# Interactive, this displays a data grid as follows:
You can update the contents of the grid at any time by setting the DataSource property, normally just to some list of tuples.
For example, this is the result after updating with a list of tuples in the synchronous web crawl example (Tutorial\Intro Scripting\BasicIntroAndSyncWebCrawl.fsx) from the F# JAOO Tutorial I posted a few days ago, showing the initial pages reached by a depth-first crawl starting at the Google home page and the number of links found at each step:
data.DataSource <-
[| for KeyValue(key,value) in visited -> (key,value.Length) |]
There are lots of other tricks you can play with grids from F# Interactive, and you can use them as the basis for very smart object displays. For example:
If you add record values, then the titles of the columns are taken from the names of the record properties. Very nice!
You can have data automatically update by using other kinds of data source obejcts besides collections. I don't tend to use this myself, but consult the DataGrid MSDN pages for more information
If you creatively add display handlers to fsi.AddPrinter you can automatically pop up this kind of "rich" obejct display each time a value is evaluated/displayed in F# Interactive. But that may need to be used with some caution, lest you get a sea of windows! 🙂

Create inspiration boards, share ideas with your friends and wedding vendors, get feedback from brides like you, and lots more!
Photos By: Thistledown PhotographyWe're all over the ombre trend, and paired with our love of ruffles, we thought this clever DIY project was golden for a centerpiece or room décor concept. Supplies: Rit Dye- We used two colors, wine and purple Glass Cylinders Water 5 Bowls or Tubs for dyeing Clothespins and Clothesline 1" Ruffle Trim (cotton or synthetic, the more ruffle it has the better it turns out). Hot Glue Gun Timer Flowers Step One: Cut the un-dyed fabric trim to the diameter of your glass cylinders. Determine how many pieces of trim you'll use on each cylinder, and therefore how many shades of dye you'll need to prepare. Since the cylinder we used was short, only six pieces were needed. Step Two: Prepare the batches of dye. This is more of an art than an exact science. It tends to look best when the darkest shade is pretty dark, and the lightest shade is very light or white. Following the instructions on the dye package, make sample dye pools. Two main things will impact the shade: the water to dye ratio, and how long you let the fabric soak. We recommend coming up with your own palette using water to dye ratios and timings, being careful to record your measurements. Then test a sample. Step Three: Once you've created a palette you're happy with, then go for dyeing the fabric pieces in bulk. Step Four: Rinse the fabric until the water runs clear, then hang on a clothesline until dry. Step Five: Adorn your cylinder with trim, using a dab of hot glue. Overlap the ruffle layers just a bit to create a seamless look. Display Tip: Display the ruffle embellished vase along with undecorated vases for balance. Add simple, color coordinated florals: tulips were a sleek and modern contrast to the flouncy, ruffly vase.
Project and Photos By: Chelsea Fuss These charming little garden kits make for lovely favors or sweet gifts for friends who help with your wedding. Herbs can grow in a sunny window or on a sunny balcony, and the seeds are pretty easy to grow. You will need: seed starting pots cellophane bags for soil brown parchment paper rocks herb seeds (basil, parsley, oregano, thyme) ribbon tags glassine bags for seeds mini paper clips (optional) potting soil rocks for drainage plant markers waterproof sharpie pen Step One: Fill cellophane bags with a cup or two of potting soil. Secure with a twisty tie and wrap in brown parchment. Step Two: Fill tiny glassine bags with seeds. Step Three: Label the plant marker with the type of seed you're using. Step Four: Place the seeds, soil, rocks, and plant marker inside the pots. Step Five: Tie with a ribbon and tag. Your guests will love these eco-friendly favors!
Project and Photos by Brittni Mehlhoff Ask your friends and family to be a part of your bridal party in a memorable way that won't break the bank! These flowers, from a local florist, are extremely affordable because they're in the filler category. At just a couple of dollars per bunch, you can pick up enough flowers to make five mini bouquets like this one for about $10, making each one just $2 to make. Materials: Scissors String Newspaper Marker or pen Montecasino flowers Solidago How-To: Step One: Cut small 5-6 sprigs from larger bunches of each flower type and strip the leaves from each stem. Step Two: Using a combination of Solidago and Montecasino, create a mini bouquet that is about the size of two clenched fists. Step Three: Tie the stems of the bouquet together with string to keep the flowers in place. Step Four: Next, cut a long rectangle from newspaper that is roughly three times the size of your bouquet. Using a marker, write a message, on the newspaper clipping, to your soon-to-be bridesmaid to ask her if she'd like to be in your wedding party. Step Five: Now, wrap the bouquet in the newspaper, keeping the message concealed on the inside of the bouquet, and tie it off with another piece of string. Step Six: When friends or family open the bouquets to put the flowers in water, the newspaper message will be revealed!
Project and Photos By: Victoria HudginsHere's a crafty and inexpensive way to make bunting! Made in mass they will give you a gorgeous backdrop for desserts, a reception or a shower. They would also look amazing lining the aisles of a ceremony. Step One: Choose about six different papers to work with, in coordinating colors and textures. Step Two: Use a paper cutter to cut .25 inch wide strips of paper, the entire length of the paper. Step Three: Once all the strips are cut, begin rolling the paper strips individually into themselves. Roll each strip going down a bit to create the basic shape of a bullet. Step Four: Use a small dab of glue (or glue dot) to end each individual roll. Step Five: String your rolls up, mixing colors and texture as you go. Use a simple kitchen twine or other embroidery thread for this. Display Tip: Hang your creation up above tables, lining a tent, or in succession on a wall for a gorgeous and fresh bunting presentation!
Project and Photos By: Victoria Hudgins These simple favor bags are a great way to bring in the charm of patterned fabrics, even if you're not a skilled seamstress. Cut, glue and voilá- you've got a darling little sack. Step One: Select coordinating patterned fabrics Step Two: Cut the fabric into 4 X 4 inch squares. Use a craft board and roll cutter for easy measuring. Step Three: Fold the fabric over in thirds. Step Four: Glue the ends down. This will leave a covered, easy-open pouch in the middle. Add a few decorative stitches for bonus color-coordination. Step Five: Fill the bags with simple candy treats for your guests to enjoy. For an extra cute presentation, set the bags at each place setting!
Project and Photos by Brittni Mehlhoff Get ready for the holidays with this versatile winter bouquet, which is small enough to use almost anywhere. Adorn table settings at the rehearsal dinner or reception, with these affordable blooms. Or pop the mini bouquets into small vases, running the length of each table, for a more casual centerpiece option. You can even use this technique to create a larger bouquet for bridesmaids to carry on the big day. Materials: Scissors Pinecones Wax Flowers Mums Wire Twine
Instructions:Step One: Attach wire near the bottom of a pinecone, twisting several times. Then bend the remainder of the wire downward to create something that resembles a floral pick. Set aside. Step Two: Cut down several mums stems to 6 inches in length and remove all leaves from the stems. Step Three: Start to form a small arrangement of mums and wax flowers (3-4 stems total to start), making sure to criss cross the stems 1-2 inches below the base of the blooms. Then add the wired pinecone, just as you would a flower. Step Four: Next, tie a piece of twine around the stems and wire pick, and double knot tightly. Now, you have a tiny, festive arrangement perfect for the holidays.

Photos By: Erin HollandRosemary wreath topiaries are a great way to say thank you to your guests. The herb pots will bring a most lovely scent and look to your reception tables and guests will love to take home a little something beautiful and tasty to remember your day with. Materials: One Mini Terracotta Pot per Guest Bunches of Organic Rosemary Floral Wire Craft Sticks Dirt Scissors Step One: Collect organic rosemary (grown from your garden or purchased from a florist). Step Two: Using the floral wire, start by making a small wreath shape with a straight stem, proportional to the size of the pots. Step Three: Beginning at the bottom of the stem, connect rosemary to the floral wire with small ties of thread. Be sure to cut off any loose ends at the end of each tie. The ties should blend in right under the branches. Step Three (Cont). Continue all the way around your frame: gathering, bunching, and tying the rosemary.
Step Four: Fill the pot with soil and slide the completed rosemary wreath into the center. Wet the soil a bit to secure the stem. Step Five: Adorn small garden sticks (craft sticks) with a thank you and place one in each of the favors. *Note: This project uses cut rosemary. It will stay fresh for about three days when spritzed with water. Alternatively, you can make the favors longer in advance and present dried rosemary. If you'd like them fresh- they should be made within three days of the event.
Photos By: Mary Swenson You simply can't go wrong with edible favors for your guests, and these super-simple cookies can even be customized with a special word or letters to make the favors even more significant. To make about two dozen cookies, you'll need the following ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 sticks of unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup sugar 1 egg 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low, and add the flour mixture gradually, and beat until combined. Shape the dough into two disks, wrap each one with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Roll out the refrigerated disk on a lightly floured piece of parchment or wax paper to a 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness. Repeat with the second disk of dough, and put both disks of dough back in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes. Use a cookie cutter to cut out cookie rounds from the dough. We used a fluted-edge cutter here for a decorative look, but any shape will work. Then, using mini alphabet cookie cutters, cut a letter from the middle of each dough round. We chose the word "thanks" for our cookie favors, but you can use your initials, your wedding location, or whatever word you'd like. Just a hint: Keep it on the short side! Bake the cookies at 350 degrees on parchment-lined baking sheets for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cookies are firm. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. Once the cookies cool, you're ready to package them up. We slid ours into a glassine bag and made a label with the bride and groom's initials to affix to the back of the bag The packaging options for these cookies are endless! For something different, try a tin, a brown kraft box, clear cello bags...anything that can hold your cookies and can be embellished with a bit of pretty ribbon and a personalized tag will work. Have fun with it!
Project by Janie Medley Photos by Tori of Marvelous Things Photography This wreath is perfect display at your wedding. You can use it on the church doors, at the reception venue, and a bonus is that you can take them home to display on your front door. You can also add additional floral and a ribbon if you like. Ingredients: Wreath Frame (purchased at the craft store) 3 Bunches of Seeded Eucalyptus Floral Wire Scissors Instructions: Step One: Start the design by taking 3-4 clippings of the seeded eucalyptus and place them on the wreath frame. Step Two: Secure the clippings in place with the floral wire. Step Three: Clip the stems of the clippings and continue the previous steps, adding more clippings. Layer the clippings over the wire to hide the mechanics and layer the clippings in the same direction as you continue the process. There you have it! A lovely seeded eucalyptus wreath for your special day!
Project and Photos By: Jenny Batt of Hankandhunt.comI can't remember the last time I coated my tree with tinsel, but I had a few boxes lying around. The ends reminded me of tassels and so I decided to give it a try. Who doesn't love a little something quick and easy to give a little sparkle? Materials: Tinsel (one package = 4 small tassels) Silver embroidery thread Scissors Take the tinsel out of the box carefully and lay flat. Cut in half.
Separate with your fingers into four sets, you will be folding each set in half.
Take a 6 inch length of embroidery thread and tie tightly around the center of each section. Double knot, fluff, and you are done- instant tassel. Note: There are different grades of tinsel, you want the very thin kind, it lets you tie a tighter knot and fluffs better.
Repeat with remaining tassels. Tie each tassel to a length of embroidery thread to make a garland. Hang. Fluff each tassel as needed.
A simple little craft for a holiday wedding or just for a fun New Year's party, this can be made in a few minutes and there was no fringing involved. This garland is perfect for a beginning crafter! Project and Photos By: Jenny Batt of Hankandhunt.com


text: LISLE, Ill., April 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Making its first appearance at the popular Baconfest Chicago, Eckrich announced today its donation match of its new Bacon Lovers® Deli Meats to the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Visitors who attended the event, known collectively as "Bacon Nation," donated non-perishable items that Eckrich matched with 2,500 pounds of its new Bacon Lovers Deli Meats. The total donation exceeded a total of 5,000 pounds of food that will help feed a family of four for nearly one year. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130420/CL98309) Eckrich, part of the John Morrell Food Group, a subsidiary of Smithfield Foods, recently announced the national expansion of its Bacon Lovers Deli Meats. Having a presence at Baconfest Chicago, near John Morrell Food Group's headquarters in Lisle, was, as the brand says, "The Best Idea Ever!" Making the idea even better for Eckrich, was the opportunity to make such a significant donation to the Greater Chicago Food Depository. This is the fourth year that Baconfest Chicago has supported the food bank by donating a portion of ticket proceeds and by hosting a food drive to help guests give back to the community. It's the first year for Bacon Lovers Deli Meats by Eckrich to support it. The total donation of 5,000 pounds, per the USDA definition that one meal is equivalent to 1.2 pounds of food, will provide a total of 4,166 meals. For a family of four, this is a meal for 50 weeks and provides food each month for a year to help eliminate hunger in the community. The donation was made during Baconfest Chicago ceremonies held inside the UIC Forum. Eckrich also made its presence known outside the festival which included sampling of all five varieties of Bacon Lovers Deli Meats, including: Bacon Covered Ham, Bacon Ranch Chicken Breast, Bacon Covered Club, Applewood Smoked Turkey Breast with Bacon and Peppered Bacon Covered Roast Beef. The deli meats are available at grocers nationwide.

The new place
4. It is not raining in this new place. There is no dampness to be found on these broad plains. The flat white stones at her feet rise up to what would have once been a ceiling, but now through, through, they rise through, until they light up the sky: her own personal sun, moon and stars.
I stand up slowly and look around me. For as far as I can see, there are grey cubicles. Each person in this room has the same look on their face: one of detachment, apathy and numbness. They are all in black; they hunch their shoulders like mourners at a funeral. When I squint my eyes, the walls of the cubicles begin to look like tombstones. If this were a circus, I would put clown noses on everyone, and when the next person came to tell me in a condescending manner to do more, work harder, and ask me what my name was again, I would stare at their red nose and smile. They could talk and talk, but this would be my ring, my circus, and no sound would come out of their mouth while they existed to dampen the joy of my vibrant world.
I begin to imagine what would happen if I just left. If I ran away, if I did cartwheels along the linoleum and shouted incomprehensible words like "horannajibbilitate!" and "interfloobaboolator!" I wonder why I stay- why anyone stays. We are all the same, on the outside: we dress the same, and so we look the same. When we speak at all, we speak the same. Yet on the inside I am a bubbling and frothing mess, with a thousand absurd thoughts fighting to be released with wild abandon into the world with no care for the consequences. I have learned to push my wild self into its own compartment, into another world for me to escape to and dream about when my own world gets too much to bear. Looking around this office, I wonder why I fight at all to stay. I wonder, too, whether anyone else dreams the same wild dreams, whether anyone else thinks their own wild thoughts.
I allow myself one moment, just one moment I say, to imagine myself leaving. You can't see the sky from in here, I reason. A life without sky, without sun, moon and stars, is a life without day, night, and without magic. It is a life without wonder and joy. It is no life at all, which might be why I – and everyone around me- looks like they are at a funeral. Our own. For every time I have to push a little of my wild self into another place, another world, I lose a little of myself in this one. It is a kind of dying.

Well well after numerous phone calls which I am sure is going to cost me an arm and a leg (calls from UK mobile) I finally got through to several people, the first who was rude and hang up on me. The other three I must say was superb and had excellent customer service skills. Long and short is I got them to refund the charges to my account and received an email to confirm that the monies will be transferred to my a/c within the next 6 days. I also received instructions in the email on what to do if I haven't been credited within the next 2 weeks. I also had the opportunity during the same phone call to cancel all membership from other leeches and received email from them confirming cancellation and a cancellation numbers. I have collated so much paperwork on these people my paper trail is looking good.......Called my bank straight away and discuss the matter at hand we are waiting until the period they gave me is expired and if nothing happens then its legal proceedings.....I'm keeping my fingers X

Golf Illinois Golf Courses
|Glen View Club
Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Bittersweet Golf Club -- Bittersweet is true
|Review by: Brendan
|A very challenging course. I went on a cold windy day in April. The fairways had much evidence of hacking and I put in my own also. This course requires a lot of long and fairly accurate tee shots or your likely to lose a lot of balls into water or wetlands, which happened to me. I'm sure the high winds didn't help. For the $35 special through most of April it was worth it. All prices, $30 - $45 weekdays and $30 - $75 on weekends include carts, I guess there is no walking.

Do Colleges Look At PSAT Scores? The Truth About The PSAT!
- Critical Reading Skills
- Math Problem Solving Skills
- Writing Skills
You will receive a score in each section that will be added up together to form your overall PSAT score. So, how do you use the PSAT scores and what are they even for? Well, the test is developed to do a couple main things: First, it measures your ability and give you an idea of what areas you need to brush up on before taking the actual SAT tests. And secondly, the PSAT is also associated with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and if a student does well enough on the test, he or she could qualify themselves as a National Merit Finalist which could have some scholarship money associated with it. But don't get your hopes up yet. Only a very select group of students do well enough on the test to gain "finalist" status and then get awarded scholarship money. If you don't win a scholarship, just becoming "commended" or a finalist goes a long way with college admission and looks very good on your transcript. So, do college look at PSAT scores. The answer to that is NO, absolutely not. When you apply to the college of your choice, you will be sending in an application, any recommendation letters or essays (if they ask for them) and an official high school transcript. The ONLY way they can see a PSAT score is if it's listed on your transcript. If it is, you can have it removed but 99% of high schools across the country do not list this score on an official transcript. Once you take the actual SAT, those scores can be sent to the colleges, but again: If you don't want them sent you can have them removed from you transcript before applying for college admission.

Would you ever visit Dubai?
I was just watching a story on CNN abut woman who has arrested and jailed after reporting a rape. They charged her with having sex outside of marriage.
I guess there are other laws like no public display of affection. Another couple was arrested for kissing on the cheek.
Giving someone the middle finger is also illegal.
Just curious if you would ever visit Dubai?
No.I would get arrested.Hate to say it but my middle finger gets used a lot
I would really like to visit Dubai. My good friend teaches there, and she really likes it in spite of the large cultural gap. There is a big expat community in Dubai in addition to the more conservative Muslim element, from what I understand.
Not really. It's nowhere to be found on my bucket list.
J/k. There about 1000 other places I'd rather visit. The Middle East in general is just not that interesting to me. I'd like to see Israel and Egypt but that seems overly stupid.
