Repost of a cartoon I did last year about Black Friday. Seems this year didn't live up to even last years dismal results.
Black Friday is so called b/c for many retailers it is what brings them out of the red (losses) and into the black (profits)

It will be interesting to see how the 275,000 private shareholders react to the cash call. Look out for plenty of massaging messages in the weekend financial media to keep them and the institutions, happy.
Meanwhile, the search for other cash raisers goes on. The two favourites appear to be British Airways and Marconi, but both defied the market with Marconi up 3/4p to 25 3/4p and the BA adding 8p to 212 1/2p.
As a former part-owner, ICI looked on enviously as AstraZeneca led the FTSE 100 risers for a second day with a gain of 81p to 3331p. Its portfolio of medical treatments looks set to increase sales with the US becoming its most important customer as the recession there has not affected demand for its world-beating drugs.
Traders said that the market was experiencing a seven-year itch. In 1995, the Coppock Indicator issued a buy signal and the market went into a longlasting bull phase. It did the same on Thursday, propelling the Footsie up 75 points. That gain was a classic bear squeeze. The FTSE-100 index at the close was up 24.9 at 5189.7.
British Energy said that it would achieve lower nuclear output this year and saw a 12p fall to 240p.
The housebuilding sector continues to roar ahead with two months to go before the traditional spring viewing season gets under way, as Bellway and McInerney Holdings confirmed. Reservations are running ahead of last year at Bellway, boosting its shares 17 1/2p to 439 1/2p. McInerney also says that this year has started well, lifting its shares 6 1/2p to 125p. The whole sector took heart from the early boom, with Berkeley Group adding 12 1/2p to 782 1/2p, Bovis Homes rising 7 1/2p to 371p, and Wilson Bowden up 17 1/2p to 855p. In construction Carillion put on 2p to 160 1/2p, Gleeson added 10p to 1330p and Kier was up 1 1/2p to 563p.
Despite the boom, Goldman Sachs turned negative on building materials firms such as Hanson, down 3p to 459p, while RMC, rose 5p to 590p. Lehman Brothers set a 700p target for BAT's stock, which rose 7p to 627p. Ahead of what are expected to be some poor results at the end of the month, Trinity Mirror reflected the advertising blues with a 18 1/2p fall to 399p.
Prices and indices in this section are supplied from various sources and calculated at different times and may not always match those listed in the tables. Ofex prices relate to the previous close.

Proper Balanced Ventilation?
When re-roofing this weekend I pulled out the old power vent and installed cobra rigid vent 3. I want to make sure I install soffit vents in a way that will provide proper balance to the ventilation system.
There is 44' of open ridge vent (actually cut out from the roof, it's not cut all the way to the edge, despite being installed end-to-end). This yields 5.5SF of free ventilation at the ridge, so I am aiming to have at least that much at the soffits, ignoring the 4SF or so that are provided by the gable vents.
My existing soffit vents are woefully inadequate, only providing less than 2F of ventilated space. They will be replaced, and my question is as to how to do that.
About 1/4 of the home has cathedral ceilings, and they are insulated in a way that does not provide for ventilation (the bats pretty much fill the space, and the soffit vents are only between certain rafters, not all of them).
The ridge-line runs east-west, and the cathedral ceiling is on the Southeast quarter of the house. My plan was to provide evenly spaced soffit vents on the north eve, and large vents on the Southwest eve, roughly balancing the ventilation between north and south, even thought the south would be poorly ventilated on the eastern side.
Is this a good plan?
In the meantime I have removed one 8'x10" piece of Soffit from the north side of the home, in the center of the span to provide for temporary ventilation. Is this OK for a couple of weeks?
Last question: the 24-year old three tab feltless roof did not show any signs of blistering, etc with the old power vent arrangement, will my GAF timberline roof with 15# felt be more or less susceptible to heat damage? (Color is about the same, maybe a shade lighter)
Thanks to everyone here who provided advice going into this project. I learned a lot and had confidence guiding the installers through the process.
As a guideline, I use 1 square foot of venting per 300 sq ft of attic, with one third of the venting being placed in the top third of the roof.
You may need to cross strap the roof under the sheathing the next time you have to re-shingle to provide better ventilation in the cathedral section.
Ok, will do... should I try to beat down the batts with a very long stick?
I have a similar situation where the cathedraled edges of my second floor (about 2-3 ft) was filled in with blown in insulation. The soffit vents were boarded over. There is a ridge vent in the peak and a power gable vent. My question: Is it worth it to open up that section of ceiling, remove the blown in, open up the soffit vents place the rigid spacers then fiberglass craft face before replacing the ceilings. Or is the power gable vent adaquate. I had roofing estimates and the roof replaced last fall but could not get two roofing comapnies to agree on what is best. I realized that all that insulation wicks heat from the heated space and contributes to ice jams but I am very diligent about raking the snow off the edges to prevent ice buildup.
With blown in you might be able to suck out the insulation with a strong shop vac and a long rigd tube (i'm thinking PVC). This is not professional advice, but it might keep your ceiling in place?
I considered vacuuming but that still leaves me with now way to install the new fiberglass and rigid soffit spacer plus, you should see the length of nails the roofers used. I thought they were overkill but they insisted they were necessary to comply with the manufacturere's wind rating.
Try this. Remove the blown insulation with a shop vac using 2" pvc as an extension. Then cut some 1" poly-isocyanurate (R-7 per inch) about 3" wider than the rafter spacing. Cut 3/4" on one surface to allow you to bend it over doubling the depth at each side. This gives you this 3/4" piece as a spacer which is placed along the sheathing giving you protection from the blown insulation (which you will place back) as well as maintaining the air space needed for ventilation. I hope I explained that okay.
Thanks and best of luck with your project!
1) OP may have the same issue of improper insulation covering this area.
2) installation by a Diyer is somewhat troublesome and more work than needed as a retrofit.
But a great solution for short eaves where there is no room for soffit vents.

Lots of BLACK smoke
Just found this site. Loving it so far. I breezed through the first 25 pages, so I apologize if this question has been asked before.
I previously owned a 1991 Cherokee 4.0 I6, and I erroneously traded it in for something newer. It had 280k and ran like a top. I'm an idiot, and as I drove home in the Nissan Xterra that I traded it in for, I had buyers remorse like never before.
I recently bought a 04 Grand Cherokee Laredo, of course because it was powered by the 4.0I6, and has 102k. Suprisingly (knock on wood), there are no leaks and no smell of burning oil. Oil pressure is good.
I decided to change the spark plugs, due to a slightly rough idle. It only idled rough at a stop and in gear. If I put it into neutral, the idle became completely smooth as it went up about 100-200 RPM. I changed the plugs...the first three (Front to back) they were black as a car tire. The last three showed minimal wear, but no carbon. I replaced the plugs using standard copper core Champions, as I understand, our Jeeps seem to like them. I added the seafoam fuel treatment and took her for a spin. I slammed down on the gas and thought it might have transformed into a deisel. During higher RPM and shifting, it sends out a puff of black smoke.
Questions are:
1. What would cause only three of the plugs to be fouled with carbon?
2. Is the black smoke an indicator of the Seafoam cleaning out carbon deposits?
happy to be in a Jeep again, and better black smoke than white smoke.
I appreciate any advice.
Re: Lots of BLACK smoke
I would do a couple seafoam treatments, then use it as an additive on a somewhat regular basis.
Oil smoke is bluish, not black.
I'd suggest having someone who knows Jeep 4.0s check your TPS, the oxygen sensors, your cat, and clean the throttle body and map sensor. Plus the plug wires themselves should be changed unless you know how old they are. They do get old and misfire a bit. If this condition has lasted long, you can probably expect your cat to not be healthy. They're cheap.
The reason I noted where you live is I just got rid of a 4.0 that never gave a bit of trouble, passed smog with flying colors, light greyish brown exhaust pipe etc.
Took it to Los Angeles area and I have no idea what concoction is sold at the pumps, but the thing absolutely refused to run smoothly at stop lights on the local gas.
Ran so rough I was putting it in neutral and only shifting into gear as the light changed. Once it was up a few RPM, ran smoothly like the 4.0 always does.
Ran that crap down to near empty, filled up in Barstow, and the problems simply went away even though heading out thru Baker, etc. which is as lower or possibly lower than LA altitude.
Re: Lots of BLACK smoke
Thanks for the reply. I'm in sunny Florida. The smoke is definitely black...no blue, just black. The first start up after the seafoam treatment, it left a short black strip of residue on my driveway.
The idle while stopped and in gear has smoothed over, but still a little bumpy, but way smoother than before. My Jeep has the coil rails, no wires. A new coil rail is my next step, unless a seasoned Jeepster tells me otherwise.
After readin a few posts here, the O2 sensor will be my next suspect.
It otherwise runs fine, and I should probably just shut up and drive it, but my OCD gets the best of me.
Re: Lots of BLACK smoke
Welcome to the garage.
Does your jeep has the 2 upstream and 2 downstream O2 sensors?
That would be my first suspect, check the O2 sensor voltage and see if they jump up and down very frequently. If not, the respective O2 sensor is shot. (most probably the 1-1 sensor).
By the way, eventhough you live in Florida, do you have anything to do with Holland (because of your name)
Re: Lots of BLACK smoke
Frango!!! Thanks for the reply...
O2 sensors are on the list to replace if I can diagnose which one is bad. I'm just wondering why the "check engine" light hasn't come on yet....either way it drives fine, but smokes like a diesel when I accelerate hard.
As far as my screen name, My mother and father are from Germany, near Ehrfurt. I was born over here, and the name just came to me one day....lol.
Any other suggestions are welcome, as I will be crawling under the Jeep tomorrow (I'm not mechanically inclined, but I refuse to pay the ridiculous shop fees, so I'll learn to fix minor things myself).
I'll report my success or disasterous outcome this weekend.
See ya'll around the sandbox
Re: Lots of BLACK smoke
I'm not sure if the.black puff could be from the seafoam, because when you put it straight into the brake vacuum line, you get a lot of white.smoke. Did you already put some of the seafoom directly into the vacuum line, or only into the fuel tank?
Do you have a scanner which shows live data? You could check the O2 sensor voltage, but also the fuel trims. The trims are shown like this: STFT bank 1 (2) and LTFT bank 1 (2). This are the short term fuel trim ( the actual fuel trim) and the long term fuel trim figures ( an average figure over a longer period) . These figures can show if something is wrong with the fuel trimming.
If you don' t have a scanner and prefers to do your maintenance yourself, you should think in buying one, it can help you a lot in the future. If you have an android phone, you could download an app like "Torque" and just buy a bluetooth dongle which fits in the OBD port.
Re: Lots of BLACK smoke
Seafoam went directly into the fuel tank, which was only half full.
Good call on the smartphone app!! I already downloaded it, and will look for a bluetooth dongle this weekend. I am a mechanical reeetard, but I'm looking forward to learning all about my Jeep. Being able to get the codes from my phone will go a long way!
I'm going to replace the front upstream O2 sensor this weekend since the oly plugs that were caked with carbon were 1,2, and 3. Probably due for a replacement anyways, and I'll put a new fuel filter in while I'm under it.
You guys rock....thanks for all of the info....keep it coming!!
Re: Lots of BLACK smoke
You could try some seafoam into the brake booster vacuum line, seems to be cleaning the cylinders up quite a bit. There are some writeups overhere on howto.
Re: Lots of BLACK smoke
Amsoil Power Foam 00 WJ - YouTube Me when i did my 00 WJ Also great for finding exhaust leaks haha. Long ago lol roughly 3 yrs or better
Re: Lots of BLACK smoke
Took it to a buddy this weekend who has a diagnostic computer....only showed bad IAC and bad O2 sensor. Next weekend I'll replace those, although I've seen many posts about cleaning the IAC before replacing it. I'm sure it's caked with carbon, so I may just try to clean it off first.
I did purchase some CatAclean under the advice of my mechanic buddy. I bought it, but most of those miracle compounds are "snake Oils" from what I understand.
All in all, it's fun when someone is tailgating me and I dump the accelerator and coat them in a nice cloud of black carbon.
I'll post any results of the catAclean, if any, and report on my IAC and O2 sensor. BTW, the code was for the front upstream O2 sensor.
Any thoughts on cataClean or cleaning the IAC?
Re: Lots of BLACK smoke
Hey josh, an neighbors call out the Fire Department?? lol....
What, if any, improvements did you notice after using the power foam??
Re: Lots of BLACK smoke
Yes, try cleaning the IAC first before you replace it with a new one. For sure the IAC stepper motor plunjer is very dirty and maybe even stuck in place. You can easily take it out from the throttle body removing the electrical plug and two torqueX screws.
Take care when cleaning the IAC plunjer to not rotate the plunjer head. Two very small plastic ribs are preventing it from turning when operated electrically and these ribs break of very easily and then for sure you have to replace the IAC motor.Also clean very well the IAC air passage in the throttle body. You could remove the throttle body for that, or spray some carburetor cleaner into the air passage with engine in idle. Bit by bit, so that the engine will not starve. You have to remove the air duct to the throttle body to spray directly into the air passage.
The front upstream sensor is the 1-1 (bank 1, upstream sensor) and was indeed suspected.

Hi Guys (and Girls),
This is my first post to the forum but I must say I am impressed with how much information is available so it wont be my last.
I own a 2002 WRX Wagon and I have had no problems with it over the last three years. However, this last week my car started giving me a ton of issues. Hopefully some of you might be able to help me.
Last week my power steering went out. A few days later I noticed that my panels were acting really strange. The MPH gauge and RPM Gauge would go down to 0 and then shoot back up to their respective numbers, then my radio started turning off for a few seconds and then turn back on. Sure enough the next day my car wouldnt start. After a quick jump my car would get going again. The next day I jumped the car and When I started moving at a green light my car stopped responding to the gas pedal, the engine would fail to rev and it would clunk around. I turned the car off and pushed it to a curb on the side of the road.
So in total, my battery is dead, gauges are faulty, gas pedal gives no response, and my power steering is out.
Any ideas...
Thank You All.
BTW: On my panel the E-Brake and Battery light were both on whenever I would drive my car. The E-Brake was down so I dont know what is causing this.

The disgraced former Sky Sports broadcasters Andy Gray and Richard Keys celebrated a comeback as unlikely as Manchester City's last night after winning the Sony Radio Academy award for Best Sports Programme.
The duo accepted the honour for their talkSPORT football chat show months after Gray, the former Everton and Scotland striker, admitted that he considered suicide after losing his job as a Sky Sports commentator last year.
Gray was dismissed after being caught on camera making sexist remarks about a female assistant referee. Video footage also showed him making a suggestive comment to a female colleague. Keys resigned after being caught making sexist remarks about a former girlfriend of Jamie Redknapp.
Ostracised after dominating Sky's Premiership coverage for nearly 20 years, the duo were given a shot at radio rehabilitation by talkSPORT. Their contacts book ensured guest appearances by leading players and managers.
The Sony judges said "their knowledge and professionalism was second to none and in their debut year of broadcasting on British radio they have become a must listen for serious sports fans every morning."
Gray described the talkSPORT opportunity as "a lifeline". Asked if he had considered taking his life after the Sky scandal he said: "I would be lying if I said I didn't." Gray denied that he was sexist and described the offending comments about assistant referee Sian Massey as "a light-hearted quip".
Dominic Grieve, the Attorney General, considered taking action against Gray and Keys following comments made during their talkSPORT show about Harry Redknapp during the Tottenham Hotspur manager's tax evasion court case.

Milwaukie improves to 3-1 in boys track and field
After a disappointing showing in a meet with Sandy (a 79-66 loss) a week earlier, Milwaukie High thinclads were all business in last weeks boys dual track and field meet with Liberty, and the Mustangs prevailed 80-65.
The kids competed really well, which they didnt do at Sandy, said Milwaukie boys coach Chuck Nott. I was really pleased.
Nott said that on paper, he had his Mustangs projected to lose the meet by nine points, 77-68.
Injury kept Phillip Opager, the Falcons top jumper, out of the meet. But Nott says his Mustangs would have prevailed, even if Opager had been able to compete.
The Mustangs were dominant in the jumps, earning sweeps of the long jump and triple jump, and going one-two in the high jump.
Milwaukie junior Dante Meade had a big day, heading up the sweeps of the long jump and triple jump with marks of 20-3-3/4 and 42-1.
Milwaukie senior Kendrick Bourne, competing in the event for only the second time, leaped a personal best 41-11 to earn runner-up honors in the triple jump.
Bourne also won the high hurdles in 15.77, finishing just ahead of Libertys Nick Bonat (15.89). And he finished second, with a 45.15 clocking in the intermediate hurdles, breaking up an anticipated one-two Falcon finish in that event.
Milwaukie senior Trevontae Anderson cleared 5-8 for first place in the high jump.
Milwaukie sophomore Griffin Johnson and Mustang junior Jordan Stromvig both cleared 11-0 for a one-two finish in the pole vault.
Milwaukie senior Jake Leary, as expected, won easily in the shot put (46-10) and in the discus (143-0).
And Milwaukie senior Richard Ramsey picked up big points in the sprints, winning the 100 in 11.26 and the 200 in 23.11.
Richards been struggling, so it was good to see him get back on track, Nott said.
And the Mustang cinder boss said that Milwaukie picked up unexpected points in the 400, 800 and 1,500, where Sergio Zurita (56.16), Mitchell Ponnay (2:11.07) and Chris Spanovich (4:35.91) contributed to the winning tally.
The dual win put Milwaukie boys at 3-1 in Northwest Oregon Conference dual meets heading into this afternoons home meet with Parkrose (0-4). Liberty, which dropped a 73-72 heartbreaker to Wilsonville (4-0) on April 17, slipped to 2-2 in NWOC dual meets with the loss to Milwaukie. The Falcons host Sandy (3-1) this afternoon.
It was a long day for Milwaukies girls track and field team on April 24, as they fell to Liberty 89-43.
Liberty girls won both relays and all but four of the individual events.
Junior Elizabeth Pecsok scored big for the Falcons, winning the shot put (33-11), high jump (5-0), triple jump (33-8-3/4) and high hurdles (16.09).
The dual win left the Falcon girls (4-0) and Sherwood (4-0) the only remaining unbeaten NWOC girls teams.
Despite the dual loss, the Mustangs were not without some strong performances.
We had 24 PRs, said Milwaukie girls coach Barrie Malcolm. I feel pretty good about that.
Malcolm singled out juniors Becky Ponnay and Kayler Hammond-Stief, and senior Alexis Noren for especially strong performances.
Ponnay was tough on the track, winning the 400 in 1:03.94 and the 800 in 2:37.67.
Hammond-Stief came through with at lifetime best of 114-9 to win the girls discus; and she finished second in the shot put, with a lifetime best of 32-10.
Noren scored big, winning the long jump (15-9-1/2), and earning second-place points in the triple jump (33-0) and in the high jump (4-10).
Milwaukie girls slipped to 1-3 on the NWOC dual season with the loss.

" Brand: Diesel / Watch for: Women "
I'd been looking for a new watch for a couple of weeks when I spotted this Diesel analogue ladies watch on Amazon. I've always preferred quite a masculine style of watch and after my last couple of watches were Fossil ones, I couldn't find any in their current range I liked and so browsed some other brands.
This DZ5113 fitted the bill perfectly, with a stainless steel metal bracelet, large face (35mm wide, approx 10mm deep) and broad strat (approx 15-20 mm). The face is mother of pearl with a discreet Diesel logo - it's pretty much the same as another Diesel model, DZ5105 which has a bright turquoise face, but I preferred the more neutral mother of pearl option. The face is not numbered but remains easy to read. The only additional features are a date window, so it's essentially a really basic time-piece and probably not much good for using in the dark. It has a Quartz movement.
After ordering the watch from Amazon, I was more than a little curious to see if I liked it as much in the flesh as I did looking at the photos. Overall, I was really pleased with the look and quality of the watch. The stainless steel strap and face surround is really shiney, the mother of pearl face looks quite classy and gives the chunky watch a bit of a elegant, more feminine feel. One thing I hadn't noticed in the photos is that the second hand is bright turquoise, but I think this adds a little distinctive, quirky element and slightly retro design feel. The clasp is substantial and feels very durable, it also features an etched Diesel logo and operates with a push-button action.
The watch came in a large, good quality leatherette white box with logo, accompanied by a matching white cushion inside. If I had bought this as a gift I'd be very pleased with the presentation box as it contributes to the overall feel of quality and is worth keeping.
The instruction booklet is one thing I would criticise - it is over 1cm thick and contains instructions for countless different watch models and in 8 languages in addition to English. I can't actually find any instructions that refer specifically for this model of watch and I'd much rather just receive the specific instructions for my watch.
One drawback of buying a watch with a metal bracelet such as this is getting the correct sizing. As supplied the bracelet is quite genorous in size and I'd guess that the majority of women buyers would need the bracelet reduced. I researched a couple of options; there are videos and instructions easily found on the internet showing how you can reduce the size of a metal watch bracelet yourself at home - however, you do need the right tiny tools and it looked a bit fiddly for me; I would be worried about dropping one of the tiny screws or that I'd take it apart and not be able to put it together again! I have noticed that some online retailers offer to resize the bracelet for you before sending it, for no additional charge, you just supply your wrist measurement when ordering. I decided to take mine to a local jewellers who did it in about 5 minutes for a one-off charge of £5.00, they said that if I ever need it re-sizing they'd carry out any additional adjustments for no extra charge. A couple of links were quickly removed resulting in a good fit.
Price-wise, I think this watch offers very good value for money. It seems it pays to shop around as I've seen prices online ranging from around £70 to £100. When I purchased it on Amazon it was priced at £50 which was a really good deal, but I would be happy to pay up to £100 for it. Also, if you are buying it as a gift, the presentation box adds a bit of value as well I think.
Overall, I'm really pleased with the DZ5113, it's a lovely, good quality watch, not too flashy or brash but with enough features to make it look distinctive and individual. It is essentially quite a masculine-looking watch but to me it remains elegant enough to not look like I'm simply wearing a man's watch; however, some people may disagree and indeed on some website's the watch is described as being unisex. I do think that the dimensions, though chunky, are more in-line with a ladies watch. I was pleased that having ordered it after only seeing photos online that it looked even better than I expected; it looks like a quality time piece, quietly stylish and characterful, smart enough for work and cool enough for dressing up and going out.
Having only just bought it, I couldn't testify to its reliability, but it has a 2 year warranty and is water resistant to 100 metres.

Local leaders promote business opportunities
With more than a few dozen Pittsburgh-area business leaders sitting among them, Indiana County officials delivered a simple, but direct, message on Thursday.
"We want you," Indiana County Commissioner Rod Ruddock said, "to come here and set up your business because we will take care of you."
Officials and business leaders from the two areas were brought together by the Pittsburgh Business Times and the publication's ongoing Corridors of Opportunity networking event, held at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex.
The publication has organized more than 40 of the events over the years, and for Indiana County, Thursday's installment it was a chance to show Pittsburgh area business leaders what the county has to offer them.
IUP President Michael Driscoll, who gave a few opening remarks, told attendees that what the county has is promise and a high quality of living.
"This is a wonderful place to live and learn and work and play. Life is good here, and we want you to know it," he said.
Of the roughly 210 people who attended, about half were from outside of the county, judging by a quick show of hands.
They heard from Robert Kane, the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce board chairman, who pointed out that the county has excellent public schools, affordable property and a stable tax structure. And, he said, the county is poised for growth, as its population is projected to grow 17.1 percent by 2040. At the same time, neighboring counties are expected to see population declines, he said.
Attendees also heard from Michael Donnelly, president and publisher of Indiana Printing and Publishing, who touted the county's Center for Economic Operations, the umbrella organization that represents the county, IUP, the county tourism bureau, the chamber and Indiana County Development Corp. Donnelly is publisher of The Indiana Gazette.
The organization gives the county a unified voice with which to speak, he said. The people in those organizations are tenacious problem-solvers who will work to help the county and the businesses in it, he said.
And Ralph Resnick, president and executive director of the nonprofit National Center for Defense Machining and Manufacturing, pointed out the natural beauty of the area, explaining that it was a factor that helped persuade the organization to relocate to Burrell Township from Latrobe.
During the event, the chamber debuted a new marketing video highlighting various aspects of the county. The video, about six minutes long, is on YouTube and can viewed below. The video was produced by Gazette Marketing & Media.
The video highlights IUP, the airport and Indiana Regional Medical Center, among other things.
It also features Creps United Publications and its rebuilding effort.
Viewers hear from Jake Creps, managing partner, who talks about the November 2012 fire that destroyed the company's former plant and about how the county's assistance was key in rebuilding.
Kane said the chamber plans to make the video a key part of its marketing effort.
He said he thought the county was able to make an impression on the outsiders who attended the event.
"I think we were very successful," he said.

WATERLOO, Iowa—The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum will recognize the accomplishments of Bob Siddens with a new award.
The Bob Siddens Iowa High School Coaching Excellence Award will recognize a current Iowa high school wrestling coach who exemplifies the high standards that Bob Siddens set during his coaching career at Waterloo West.
The inaugural award will be given at the 2012 Glen Brand Wrestling Hall of Fame inductions on April 14, 2012. Siddens will be the first recipient of the award.
Siddens is arguably the greatest high school wrestling coach in American history. His 27 year coaching career (1950-1977) included 11 team state championships, a 327-26-3 dual meet record, and a streak of 88 consecutive dual meet wins. Siddens also coached nine individual NCAA champions and one Olympic champion.
"When Bob Siddens was the coach he had over 100 guys out for wrestling," said Dan Gable, namesake of the museum and a wrestler under Siddens at West Waterloo. "In fact, the whole school wanted to come out when he was there."
Siddens will be honored alongside the Glen Brand Wrestling Hall of Fame of Iowa Class of 2012. This year's class includes Hugo Otopalik, Dale Bahr, Kelly Ward, Ken Snyder, and the 1950 NCAA championship team from Iowa State Teachers College (now Northern Iowa). Denna Massey will receive the Russ Smith Community Impact Award.
Contact the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum for information on attending the induction banquet and for a full schedule of events.

The smile is back on Callum Mann's face this week after West Ham pulled out all the stops to make up for the youngster's FA Cup heartache.
The eight-year-old was caught on camera in floods of tears as Championship side Nottingham Forest demolished the Hammers 5-0 in last month's third round tie.
West Ham officials launched an appeal to identify the youngster and when his father, Jason, came forward, the whole family were invited to last weekend's Premier League clash with Southampton.
Callum must have feared the worst when West Ham fell behind against Southampton but goals from Matt Jarvis, Carlton Cole and Kevin Nolan secured three crucial points which took the Upton Park side into the top half of the table.
Callum and his father visited the dressing room to see manager Sam Allardyce and the players and also met joint chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold before watching the match from the directors' box.
Jason said: "After what happened at Forest this was a complete shock to us," he said. "We went there, we support West Ham and we go through whatever. There were another 3,000 West Ham fans there that were disappointed that day and we've just been lucky, sat in the right place at the right time.
"We do appreciate everything they've done for us."
Sullivan said: "I was delighted to welcome Callum and his family to the directors' box. The away game at Forest was a difficult afternoon for everyone at the club and we wanted to offer Callum this chance on behalf of all of the fans that travelled that day."

The structure at the center of this photograph is one of the surviving buildings of the historic U.S. or Apalachicola Arsenal at Chattahoochee, Florida.
This building was one of the original external magazines of the arsenal and was located outside the main complex (for safety reasons). It is now on the grounds of the Florida State Hospital.
The appearance of the magazine has been altered significantly since the Civil War. The flat part of the roof is not original and covers what was open space at the time of the war. The outside wall was then not part of the original building, but surrounded the actual magazine for security purposes. The intervening space between the wall and the magazine has since been roofed over, forming one large building instead of a smaller building surrounded by a defensive wall.
This was one of the structures seized by the Quincy Guards in January of 1861, even before Florida withdrew from the Union. To see some of the other surviving arsenal buildings, just look back through the archives here and you will find an earlier series I posted about it.
A blog by Southern writer and historian Dale Cox, Civil War Florida shares information on and discusses the events of the Civil War in Florida. Topics of interest include troops, battles, skirmishes, campaigns, raids, forts, naval actions, ships, soldiers, officers, books and historic sites.

This is a great blog! I never realized Fla. had such a rich civil war history. I have toured several civil war sites, but have obviously missed a lot right here at home. Thank you.

Thanks Thomas. Let me try using the JR's Mysql PM. I do not mind whatever schema is behind whether mine or JRs. Let me get back to u in case I face any problem configuring PM. Another question, I see the DataStore implementation creating a mysql table in db. Instead can I point the DataStore to my custom FileServer. Any configuration ??

If you use your own custom schema, you would need to write your own JCR implementation (your own 'Jackrabbit').

I was driving to my parent's summer cabin with my newborn baby boy (breastfed) and my preschooler (also still breastfeeding) when I had this conversation:
"You know how you like to have boobies, Sweetheart?
"Well, Mommy is happy to give you booby milk but here's an idea I have. Let's make up a special word for it that nobody but us knows. A special, secret word, like . . . "yum yum!" So if you want booby milk, you ask Mommy for "yum yum." And if Mommy says, "Yes, yum yum!" then we'll go someplace quiet together where it will be just you and Mommy. And if Mommy says, "No, not now," you'll just have to wait a little bit. But you'll be able to have yum yum later. Good idea?"
"Good. But let's not have yum yums in front of Grandpa and Grandma, okay? Let's just make it a super special secret thing that just you and me know about."
"And Daddy."
"Yes, and Daddy knows about it."
"Yum yums in the car!"
"No. Not in the car. Yum yums later."
"Okay, Mommy."
How very reasonable. What a civilized agreement. What a super-clever Mommy, I, to think up such reasonable, civilized things and to communicate them so rationally to my very rational two year old daughter.
When we arrived at Grandma and Grandpa's my newborn was hungry. I nursed him right away in the nearest armchair, the cozy one in front of the big picture window with the view of slender, silver-barked aspens trembling in the wind off the lake. Grandma remarked how much our baby had grown in the past weeks and on his sweetness. Then another conversation with my daughter began while the baby drank and my parents looked on in horror:
"Yum yums now."
"No, Sweetie. Yum yums soon. But not now. Yum yums later."
"Yum yums, NOW, Mommy."
"No, Sweetie. Not now. Later."
"Mommy! [Eyes narrowed, hands on hips, feet planted squarely on the ground.] You give me boobies RIGHT NOW. Or ELSE, Mommy!"
"I said no. Later."
"Mommy, you put that baby down and give me boobies NOW."
Then her little foot stamped three times on the carpet and she started to kick-drag it behind her like an enraged buffalo threatening to charge. Summoning the super-shrieky-shrill power particular to two-year old girls, she blared:
I shook my head no.
"I will not," I said sadly.
Then there wasn't much I could do as she hollered and flailed and screamed and shouted and bounced, quite literally, off the walls in rage and frustration.
It was an intense moment in breastfeeding.
I was mortified. And I was heartbroken. What was I thinking asking a two-year old to keep a secret? How did I dream that she wouldn't see right through me and know that I was ashamed to be nursing her (at two and a half) but I wasn't ashamed to be nursing our new baby.
It's hard bringing a baby into a home with siblings. It's painful to know you are wreaking havoc in the life you devote so much energy into making pleasant, familiar, healthy, and safe for your firstborn. It's heart-wrenching to see your beloved daughter in such pain because you selfishly decided that she wasn't enough, even though she's already filled up you heart a thousand times over with more love than you could ever have believed possible.
Now that girl and her brother play like puppies and they love each other madly. In retrospect it's so easy to comprehend what a gift a sibling is. But, in that post-natal haze of tender hormones and raw newiness, one wonders, "Have I ruined everything?"
Here's the thing:
I was ashamed. I didn't know a single other person who had tandem nursed or nursed through a pregnancy. And while it all came very natural and easy physically -- I simply faced none of the common roadblocks that many women do -- I felt kind of like a freak.
Kids have a preternatural ability to sense these sorts of things.
That was almost two years ago and my daughter is weaned now. But I still remember that awful tantrum and my sense that I'd betrayed her. Not because I didn't comply with her tyrannical demands -- I shudder to think of what kind of example I'd set if I responded to, "YOU LIFT UP YOUR SHIRT RIGHT NOW OR ELSE!". But I do feel I betrayed her by sullying our nursing relationship. I did that when by giving a damn what a third party (Grandma and Grandpa) thought. I complicated our nursing relationship by including people in it who didn't belong.
A nursing relationship should be between a mother and her child. Period.
I have been nursing for four-and-a-half years now. I have three children. My four year old is weaned and the youngest (my baby is eight months-old and our boy just turned two) are happily nursing. Tandem nursing has worked out great for us. It really did ease those tough transitions of bringing more babies into our family by telling my older babies, in the most literal possible way, there is enough for both of you.
My best advice, as an old nursing pro who has run the gamut, is make your nursing relationship about you and your child. Nobody else's feelings, opinions, hang-ups, etc. are really that relevant.
I know, it's not so simple. We are products of our culture, we are cultured people, and we cannot and should not live in isolation from our culture. And if someone you really care about and respect – your husband or your mother, say, are pressuring you to feel ashamed of your nursing relationship, that puts you in an awful spot. But that's my best advice -- what it all boils down to: make your nursing relationship between you and your baby.
It turns out Grandma and Grandpa didn't point a finger at me and call me a freak for tandem nursing. Nobody has. Not to my face, anyway. In fact, in my almost five years of nursing I haven't really gotten any flak. I've nursed lots of places (restaurants, airplanes, parks, parties, grocery stores, Unesco World Heritage Sites, wherever) and I think I've received more, "Oh, wow, have you been nursing this whole time? I didn't even notice!" comments than anything else. It's not that I have any special techniques for nursing discreetly -- I just do what I've got to do.
If I need to nurse right here, right now, I'll do it. If I need to go someplace quiet, I'll find someplace quiet. I do what feels right for me and the baby. Or the toddler. Or the preschooler.
I wasn't always so bold. I started out as doubtful, sore, weepy, and self-conscious as any new breastfeeding mom. I had to learn not to be ashamed of breastfeeding. And then, as my nursling became a toddler and then a big sister, there it was -- the shame had crept back.
If I could go back in time and tell that Mommy driving to her parent's cabin with her newborn and her nursing toddler what I know now it would be this:
1) Don't ask a child to keep a secret. It's stresses them out. Bad, bad idea.
2) Don't be ashamed. Shame is not helpful. It is not necessary. Breastfeeding is a wholesome thing. Shame just muddies the milk. Don't muddy your baby's or your toddler's or your preschooler's milk with shame.
3) When she is ready to wean, it will be easy. Don't worry. She will wean one day and you will know the time is right.
4) You are your biggest breastfeeding critic. No one else really cares that much. So stop criticizing yourself. You are awesome. You are doing a great job.
5) When it comes to breastfeeding, discretion is not the better part of valour. Valour is the better part of valour. Breastfeed, always, with valour.

Dystopia on Our Doorstep
Dystopia on Our Doorstep
From global political cacophony to record-breakingly grim milestones in climate change, to the sharpest increase in U.S. murders since 1971, due in no small part to police brutality against black men, 2016 has been a year rife with tumult and tinged, some may contend, with a tenor of the edge-of-the-apocalypse. As the year draws to a close, Dystopia on Our Doorstep (DOOD) contemplates the proximity of the dystopic future typically seen in science fiction to daily experiences with the digital deluges, ruptured nation-states and harsh environmental conditions (both climate and economic) in many modern lives. Each DOOD film delves into a distinct facet of dystopia: singularity and self-delusion in the snapchat era (Uncle Kent 2), the surreal conditions of post-apocalyptic romance in Ethiopia (Crumbs), the ruinous beauty of hidden places scattered across the world, already abandoned by humans (Homo Sapiens), the postmodern proletariat struggle of a pig and his pals (Babe: Pig in the City), and surveillance and conspiracy brewing deep in the remote forests of Maine (For the Plasma).
Uncle Kent 2
Nov 09, 2016
(Todd Rohal, USA, 2015, DCP, 73 min)
What if the the world ended while you were texting into the void from the least popular booth at Comic-Con? In Todd Rohal's most delightfully meta and nihilistically hilarious film to date, the genre-jumping anti-sequel to Joe Swanberg's post-mumblecore feature Uncle Kent, Kent embarks, sequel-less, to Comic-Con in San Diego, which rapidly turns into his psychological unraveling -- or the apocalypse -- you pick.
Homo Sapiens
Seattle premiere!
Seattle premiere!
Nov 18 - Nov 19, 2016
(Nikolaus Geyrhalter, Switzerland / Germany / Austria, 2016, DCP, 94 min)
Homo Sapiens is a film about the finiteness and fragility of human existence and the end of the industrial age, and what it means to consider what human impact on the world looks like once we're gone. What will remain of our lives?
Seattle premiere!
Seattle premiere!
Nov 18, 2016
(Miguel Llansó, Ethiopia / Spain / Finland, 2015, DCP, 68 min)
The best apocalyptic settings are enigmatic. Where not only human society, but even the rules of reality seem to have been cracked open and reassembled in the wrong order. Crumbs, a striking new post-apocalyptic film, falls into this category, while offering a unique, visually arresting slant on what the world looks like post-civilization.
Babe: Pig in the City
Nov 20 - Nov 23, 2016
(George Miller, Australia, 1998, DCP, 97 min)
Babe: Pig in the City is George Miller's (of Mad Max fame) dark, surrealist follow-up to the Australian family hit. In the sequel, Babe leaves his idyllic farm for the sprawling metropolis; Miller's urban landscape is a dystopic, overwhelming, frightening, chaotic, and sometimes cruel place for the animal proletariat.
For the Plasma
Nov 26, 2016
(Bingham Bryant and Kyle Molzan, US, 2014, DCP, 94 min)
In a remote house in Maine, two old friends analyze CCTV footage of the surrounding forest to predict shifts in global financial markets. For the Plasma juxtaposes pastoral imagery with surveillance technology, all set to an out-there score by legendary video game composer Keiichi Suzuki of the Earthbound series, and every shade and shadow captured in gorgeous 16mm.

Ghosts of Sneakers Past
More than 100 running shoes in different shades of lime green, orange and turquoise are arranged in the shape of a heart on the cover of Boston magazine's May issue. In the center, the words: "We will finish the race."
Boston Marathon runners donated the shoes they were wearing when the explosions went off, so they could be photographed for the cover. The editor of the magazine, John Wolfson, says he and his staff were not expecting the strong, emotional reaction they've been receiving. And he says he doesn't think a display of running bibs, for example, would have had the same effect.
"There's something about those shoes that seems to have connected," he said.
In New Jersey, shoes are sparking a similar connection among young people who are walking a trail of shoes that represent the lives of young people lost to gun violence.
"We call each other sneaker heads if you like sneakers a lot," said 14-year-old Tyneikia Robinson. "I'm a big sneaker head."
She and her friends at Camden Street School in Newark are pacing between rows of tennis shoes and boots, stopping at each pair to kneel down and read the tags that have been tied to how laces.
Immediately, there's a connection. Just in the shoes.
"Every sneaker has a story," Tyneikia said. "I just feel like it's so many lives and so much history and so much memories to all these shoes."
Each pair represents a young life lost to gun violence in the US in 1998, the year Elaine Lane's son, David, was shot and killed.
Lane, of Irvington, N.J., started the anti-violence program called David's Shoes. She takes her trail of shoes, including the tattered brown work boots her son was wearing when he was shot, to schools around New Jersey. The message of her exhibit is for young people to value life.
"The young man who killed my son did not believe he had value," Lane told a crowd of elementary and middle school students. "So it was easy for him to pick up a gun and shoot another individual seven times."
Photo: Elaine Lane has collected a couple hundred shoes that represent young lives lost to gun violence. Her goal is to collect thousands, to represent the total number of young people killed by violence the year her son was shot and killed. (Sarah Gonzalez/WNYC)
She begs students to make positive choices so she never ends up with a pair of their shoes on her display. She hopes to collect 3,792 pairs – one for each person under age 19 who was killed by gun violence in the U.S. the year her son died.
She came up with the idea of collecting shoes after walking a path of military boots that represented lives lost in the Iraq war. But she had no idea sneakers would resonate with young people so much.
"I actually wear some of these shoes," said 13-year-old Michael Lawrence. "I wear the Timberlands and I wear the Nikes and they getting robbed for their shoes and stuff, that's pretty scary."
Sneakers are intertwined with the students' identity. They can see the people behind the scuffed, worn-out sneakers. And when Tenika and her friend Lamani Bruce read the description of how the young people died, the connection becomes stronger.
One tag reads: Usef Johnson, an honors student at University High School was shot twice as he walked home, August 10, 2005.
"That is crazy. He's an honors student and we are both honors students, me and Lamani and we want to go to University High School," Tyneika said. "I don't want to be that boy, man. I don't want to be that boy."
Listen to the story to hear the voices of students as they walk the trail of shoes.

In this article, we will take a look at two upcoming features in ASP.NET MVC 2. This article covers ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 1.
ASP.NET MVC 1.0 has only been out for a few months now and with the rapid release cycle that we've been used to you shouldn't be surprised to know that ASP.NET MVC 2 is already starting to take shape. Oh no, I can hear it already...
What? Are you kidding me? I just learned ASP.NET MVC 1.0? How can I keep up if they're releasing so fast?
Put the torch & pitchfork down and have a seat. Change is a good thing! You might choose to ignore ASP.NET MVC 2 until it has a final release, however you'll be missing out on one of the very best ways of providing feedback to shape the product. In this article we will build a simple application demonstrating some of the features available in MVC 2 Preview 1.
First things first, if you want to follow along, go download the code. You can get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d34f9eaa-fcbe-4e20-b2fd-a9a03de7d6dd&displaylang=en. When you run the installer you'll be given an extra project type for the MVC 2 Framework. And before you ask, yes this is safe to install alongside ASP.NET MVC 1.0.
When you create a new project you should see this:
For the purposes of demonstration, let's use a sample application. We will build some screens for a Contact Manager. The simple model looks like Figure 2.
We will use a new feature of ASP.NET MVC to build some display & edit screens. This feature is called Templated Helpers.
A new feature that was introduced in ASP.NET MVC 2.0 Preview 1 is called Templated Helpers. This allows you to create display and edit templates for various types. The benefit of these helpers over your standard ones are that these have compile time checking, intellisense, and strong support for refactoring.
A single picture explains this well:
Each of the properties of our model object are available to us here.
Let's say we want to output the contact's name:
That's not very impressive, you say? Of course, strings are pretty straightforward, and you could just output them directly if you wanted. What about the DateTime?
By default, this would render:
That birth date display isn't very nice looking. For example, the full time probably isn't needed. Let's give date times a new template to render from.
To customize the display templates, you need to create a new folder within your controller's view folder (or in Views/Shared) called DisplayTemplates. Inside of this folder, create a new View User Control (.ascx) file called DateTime.ascx. Notice how the name of the Type of property and the name of the template are the same. This is yet another convention that you can follow to simplify your code.
Make your DateTime.ascx file look like this:
Normally you'd use ViewUserControl<T> to avoid the ugly casting, however T must be a reference type, and DateTime is a value type.
Another option would be to create a custom view model class, and assign a DateTime property to it.
Our DisplayFor(m => m.BirthDate) call will use the new template when it renders:
DisplayFor(m => m.BirthDate)
Alternatively, you could provide an editable version of this:
Also throw in a touch of CSS in Site.master to make it look good:
Now we have a decent looking form, and no strings were used! Figure 7 shows the result.
Notice how we created the labels and textboxes using the lambda expression on the model. This is much less error-prone and also supports refactoring. The real power of these helpers is that they work on complex types too!
Recall that our Contact class is composed of a name and two other complex types: Address and PhoneNumber (used two separate times).
Now we can write <%= Html.EditorFor(m => m) %> (effectively asking for an editor for our entire model) to produce this:
<%= Html.EditorFor(m => m) %>
Now the layout might need some work, but that's a pretty quick way to get an edit form for your model, wouldn't you say? Notice how both the simple properties are converted into labels & text fields, and the complex ones do the same, however they are noted with labels as well (see Address, HomePhone, and CellPhone).
To customize these we can provide custom partials in the EditorTemplates subfolder (either under /views/contacts or /views/shared). Let's try this out on our PhoneNumber class.
First, we create the EditorTemplates folder in the /Views/Shared directory. Then we create a new partial view called PhoneNumber.ascx.
The file ends up looking like Listing 1.
This template makes our phone number displays much more friendly, as you can see in Figure 10.
It's easy to see how much time this can save you, especially if you have many edit screens. You could easily add validation to this or whatever you require.
If you wanted to customize the default template for individual fields, how could you do it?
Give up?
You can create a partial called Object.ascx and place it one of the template folders to customize basic layout.
A known limitation in Preview 1 is that if you try to render a model that contains an interface it will throw an exception. In Preview 2 this has been fixed and will use the standard object template to output the properties.
The astute reader will notice that we gave those phone number textboxes an id value (namely AreaCode, Prefix, and Suffix). Having two of these templates on the same page will cause id collisions, right? If you view the generated HTML source you'll notice that the ids were actually prefixed by the name of the referencing object's property name. Thus we have HomePhone_AreaCode, HomePhone_Prefix, and so on.
You can use this to your advantage. If you wanted one of your controls have the same name as its parent property name, then you can leave the control id blank, and it will fill in the name for you.
What if you wanted a special template for some of your fields, but you didn't want to modify all of them render using the template named after their type?
You have 2 options here. You can give the property an attribute of [UIHint("SomeCustomTemplate")] or you can call it out explicitly when you render the template, as in Html.DisplayFor(m=>m.SomeProperty, "SomeTemplate"). The latter only works if you're calling Html.EditorFor() directly on that property. Otherwise you'll have to use the attribute based version. We're not directly rendering the templates for the model properties, so we'll have to use the attribute.
Html.DisplayFor(m=>m.SomeProperty, "SomeTemplate
Say we added a new property on our Contact model object:
We want to display this value on the edit form, but we don't want it to ignore the time like we had for the BirthDate. In fact, we'd like to output a template that displays the time relative to the current time. This gives you a friendly notice that the record was added 5 minutes ago, 22 minutes ago, 5 hours ago, etc.
In order to get this property to render a template other than DateTime.ascx, we must add the [UIHint] attribute to our property.
The template is added to both EditorTemplates and DisplayTemplates, since the property might be viewable in both display and edit views. We can write a simple helper to do the relative date logic for us, leaving our template as simple as Listing 2.
Again we can't use ViewUserControl<T> because DateTime is a value type. The helper we used is defined in Listing 3.
Rendering the form now shows us the new template in use:
The labels that are generated for us match the property names, but they aren't very human friendly. We can use the [Display] attribute to control this, for example:
You can decorate your view model objects with additional attributes from the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespace. For example, to make a field required:
There are also other attributes you can use, such as:
In Preview 1, this will drive server-side ModelState validation. When Preview 2 drops, this will drive client-side validation with jQuery automatically off of the attributes on your model. Cool!
Our contact class has an Id property, but it's not something you would generally allow people to set. To tell the helper not to generate a field for a property, you can add another attribute:
Now Id won't be part of our form. Be careful though, in order to continue to use this in an edit form, you'll need to output the Id manually as a hidden field so that it will be picked up in the form post.
For simple applications, what you have seen here will probably work just fine. However in larger, more complex applications you'll want to separate the view concerns from your model. This is generally referred to as View Model, or Presentation Model, where you have an object specifically geared for displaying on a form or collecting data from the user. Your domain objects can be translated into these view model objects (and vice versa). Doing so will keep you from having to sprinkle view related attributes all over your domain model.
These templates won't be able to satisfy your every need when it comes to rendering edit forms, but it does get you on the ground and running quickly. When the default behavior doesn't work, you can always customize the templates for a given type.
One feature that was often requested in ASP.NET MVC 1.0 was support for Areas. Having multiple areas allows you to completely segregate your site into multiple sections, each having their own controllers, views, routes, and models. There were a handful of solutions for adding this behavior to 1.0, but each had their quirks.
As of Preview 1 each area is a separate project. In Preview 2, you'll be able to separate areas by using folders within the same project.
To implement multiple areas, you'll first need a root project to be the entry point. We'll also create two additional projects to serve as the sub-areas of our application. I placed these projects in a solution folder called Areas.
In the sub area projects, you'll need to remove all of the controllers, all of the views (except the Views/web.config file, that is important). You can also safely remove the Content and Scripts folders. Figure 14 shows what it should look like.
Notice that I've created a class called Routes in each of the sub-area projects. This is simply a static class that we can use to register routes for that area. We'll look at those in a minute. First, we have to take a manual step to get this all working together.
To get this multi-project setup to work in Preview 1, we'll need to do some manual surgery on the project files. Right click on the Billing sub-area project and select Unload Project (Figure 15). Then right click on the same node and select Edit Billing.csproj (Figure 16). Inside of the project file you'll see a section that is commented out that looks like Listing 4.
Notice that I've uncommented the bolded lines, just as the comments indicate (as this is an area child project). We'll do the same thing for the Shipping project. For the root project, (InternalOps) we will follow the same process, but we'll uncomment the other section instead, indicating that it is the root or "area parent project".
Go ahead and Reload the projects (right-click, Reload Project). You'll get a warning that the file might be "dangerous" but don't worry, just click OK. This dialog will hopefully go away in future preview releases.
Do we really have to go through all of this junk any time we want a solution with multiple area projects? For Preview 1, yes. Future releases will provide much easier Visual Studio tooling support that should make this process painless.
Now, back to the projects. Did you notice that each area child project had a Route.cs file? This needs to be created manually. It's just a static class that we can use to register our routes for each area. This helps keep the area registration contained to the project for which it is intended. You could choose to ignore this step if you want to provide all of your routes in the root project, however this is much cleaner.
Here is our billing Routes.cs is shown in Listing 5.
There is a new method called MapAreaRoute that we use to register routes with an area. The method signature looks like this:
We have to tell the route what area this is for, and provide it a unique name (note that names have to be unique across the board, hence why I prefixed this default route name with the area name). We also have to indicate in which namespace our controllers reside.
The Shipping Routes.cs is similar, but here we have a custom route (Listing 6).
Most of the area routes will start with a static identifier to select the area. It doesn't have to be the area name, but in most cases it will be. You will still have to look at your routes holistically, in order to determine which route matches first for a given request. Remember that order matters!
In our root project's Global.asax (Listing 7) we'll call on both of these classes to register their routes.
We're still manually calling our area routes here, but we have control in what order they get registered. We also have to give the root area a (non-empty) area name, so I called it main here. The reason is because we'll be generating links between the areas, and we will have to specify what area the link is intended for.
Now let's add some controllers & views, shall we? I'd like to have the main page link to some recent orders (which will come from the Billing area). Each order will have a tracking number that will link to the Shipping area to track.
Here's the link on our master page to the Recent Orders action:
You have to specify what area you're pointing to in a master page like this. The reason is because you might be sitting in a different area when the link is generated. If you omitted the Area="main" on the "Home" link, then it would try to access HomeController from the current area, which might be Billing or Shipping. To prevent this, we must specify the area explicitly.
See how the URL is correctly generated (using our route definition from Billing/Routes.cs) to the Billing area. Let's write a quick controller/action to show us this data:
Here we're just faking the orders, but they could come from anywhere. Here is our view:
Notice the link we generate for the tracking number. We specify the area name as "Shipping". This will use our custom route that we defined in the Shipping project. Our final page looks like Figure 18.
Our Track Package link is successfully using the custom route we created in Shipping/Routes.cs. Next, let's create a quick & dirty controller/action & view for this link.
Again, we're faking the data here. Our view....
Tracking #: <%= Model.TrackingNumber %>
The package is scheduled to arrive on <%= Model.ScheduledDeliveryDate.ToShortDateString() %>.
And the final result:
And that wraps up how to implement areas using multiple projects in MVC 2. There are some rough edges, but having built-in support for areas is great, and enables larger applications to segregate out various pieces of semi-related functionality into their own place.
Many folks questioned the need for multiple projects, as it does add quite a bit of complexity to the solution. For example, any view changes for sub-areas are compiled and included into the root project's template. As a result, if you change a sub-area view, you have to recompile in order to see it take effect on your site. Luckily, Preview 2 will give us support for single-project areas.
In this article, you learned about two big features of the upcoming ASP.NET MVC 2 framework. You learned about Templated Helpers to aid in building quick scaffolding for your view model objects. You also learned how to leverage the new Areas support with multiple projects to build larger applications with more separation of responsibility. This article covered Preview 1, however Preview 2 is due to be out very soon and will come with it many enhancements and improvements on what you see here. The best way to keep up and help shape the product is to participate in these early previews releases.

- - Has the Serra vs Hughes fight lost its appeal? (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/43394-has-serra-vs-hughes-fight-lost-its-appeal.html)
Has the Serra vs Hughes fight lost its appeal?
Its been somtime now since Hughes was destroyed by Alvez and i know he sustained an injury, however is this fight likey to ever happen now? I havent seen any news regards this matchup for somewhile and Serras camp has also been quiet of late.
Has the time now passed regards the fights appeal?
Do you really care if it happens?
The "hatred" hype has long since died and i personally couldnt care less if these two fight each other again, lets face it there is gonna be heck of a wait even if Hughes gets fully fit etc as there a quite a few events and fan wanted draws before these two could possibly headline, i cant see Hughes being willing to step this fight down to a "fight night" event it will have to be a Main Eventer.
So what do you guys say?
It had appeal before?
I was only interested in seeing Serra get trashed for 3 rounds.
Yeah I dont really care about seeing it now either.It wouldve been interesting if they had the fight a month or two after the end of TUF6, but not now.Besides, hughes is washed up.I think he should call it quits.Losing to GSP is one thing, but losing again to alves is another.Not saying alves isnt good but when hughes was at his prime he couldve beat alves.I think hughes just has lost all motivation.
i think hughes said maybe jan or feb for the fight
I'd still like to see it actually. I honestly think Serra can win the fight. Much better stand up and when it comes to submissions he is better also. The only thing Hughes has on Serra is strength and wrestling. The only way he can win is by laying on him the whole time unless he can get the full mount and pound away. I think Serra would win. I just don't think Hughes is the force he use to be.
Sure Hughes has ended some fights with submission, but that is Serra's specialty. Not saying Hughes is a slouch in the department I just think Serra is better. Hughes just has so much more experience than Serra and of course has pulled of more submissions than him, doesn't mean he is better. So if you put these to in a pure bjj match, you would pick Hughes over Serra
I still want to see it, and Hughes better win it too lol...
y0 Screennamesuck, in ur sig is that Rick Roll'd I'm too scared to click it lol :confused05:
I'm not denying Serra has great defensive BJJ, but offensively he is shit. Hughes's wrestling will get him on top and Serra has absolutely no chance of subbing him from the bottom.

[MLS REWIND: Week 35] By beating Chivas USA, 2-1, at Rio Tinto Stadium Wednesday night, Real Salt Lake ended its season as top dog in the Supporters' Shield race.
The catch is that several other teams conclude their seasons over the weekend, so RSL (16-10-8, 56 points) knows only that it can finish no
lower than second in the Western Conference. It avoids a wild-card game and has homefield advantage and plenty of down time until the conference semifinals, which kick off the weekend of Nov. 2-3.
Goals three minutes apart early in the second half by Alvaro Saborio and Joao Plata pushed RSL out to a 2-0 lead. In the 49th minute Saborio converted a
penalty kick whistled for a handball by Mario de Luna, and in the 52nd Plata followed up a ball that been scuffed away from Javier Morales to bang home a shot from
the top of the penalty arc.
Two Chivas USA subs sliced the lead in half in the 77th minute. Morales glided behind Tony Beltran -- himself an early replacement for
Lovel Palmer, who suffered an injury to his left hamstring -- to gather a pass from Carlo Chueca and fire a shot past Nick Rimando.
Chivas USA threatened a few times in the final minutes but RSL held out to, at least temporarily, climb atop the overall standings by virtue of its tiebreaker advantage in total goals against New
York, which also has 56 points and 16 wins (the first tiebreaker).
Chivas USA (6-19-8, 26 points) is destined to finish last in the conference yet can have a say in the final standings
and thus the playoff scenarios. It hosts second-place Portland (13-5-15, 54 points) Saturday at StubHub Center.
By winning the Timbers will capture the conference title and could also
claim the Supporters' Shield if the Red Bulls lose their final game against Chicago while scoring fewer than five goals and Sporting Kansas City does not beat Philadelphia.

User Feedback(Page 1 of 1, 2 total comments)
The best bar out there... Everything else has too many ingredients I can't pronounce.. Delish !! And healthy.
Quest protein bars are really, really good.
I can't handle sugar alcohols and this is the only bar I've found that doesn't have any of those or use any sugar either (not even disguised sugar like so many bars).
I wish they were sold in stores but they're only sold online. My personal trainer (who is totally against all protein bars) turned me onto them as it's the first bar he will recommend.
They taste amazing and I use them to replace meals here and there. They actually keep me really full because of the fiber.

This whole article is nothing more than a sympathy piece to ram socialized medicine down our throats and apparently it is working because some here seem to think that this guy has the right to health care that someone else paid for... not only that, but his criminal actions are justified by that very same 'right'.
How must our minds have been twisted by this type of yellow journalism, that instead of being ticked off upon hearing of yet another lazy bum climbing on our backs, we decide to mock the teller as if she had no cause to be traumatized after a bank robbery. "Yeah, she's really the one who is milking the system..."
Give me a break. Yahoo News -- 'News' for yahoos.
On a similar but different topic, a local newspaper had an article about a guy who tried to steal an ATM machine with a back hoe last night. He was caught, but hilarious to say the least. Wonder how that thought process came to pass. Lol.
No mention of family other than siblings, so I am assuming single without kids. Even making minimum wage, a single guy should be able to save a decent retirement without having to resort to government assistance, *if* they budget and plan ahead. I have little pity for the majority of people reaching retirement age without any savings. What did you expect to live on? Social security? You're failure to plan for your future doesn't constitute an emergency for me to ruin mine.
working the system.....dispicable yet.... we got a political dude age 42 who stole 542 hours of overtime. instead of proscuting him for a felony the state already gave him
his 1st of a lifetimes pension check for $6200 a month. THATS DISPICABLE
years ago some creative clowns stole a full size dump truck, at 3am Sunday morning they used its hooks to drag a ATM out of the banks wall and winch it into the hopper. making good their get away.
2 thumbs up and a smile as no one got hurt and as crimes go--its a good one.
the next year some stoner's i suppose decide, hay, lets try that and steal a pick-up.
and leave the pick ups rear axle in the middle of the parking lot...their probably out by now.

Lack of preparation on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on mine
Give that man medical treatment for the rest of his life, just for being that creative.
Charity begins at home. It shouldn't be the job of the gub'ment. There are clinics he could have gone too.
