Die PWA Worldtour ist zurück und morgen geht es mit dem Mondial du Vent Event in die neue Saison. Der Freestyle Event in Leucate rückte "last minute" in den Worldcup Kalender – sehr zur Freude der Freestyler die nun 4 Events auf dem Zettel haben. Vom 20. – 25 April hat der Süden Frankreichs nun also die Gelegenheit sich von seiner besten Seite zu zeigen. Bei durchschnittlich 300 Windtagen pro Jahr eigentlich kein Problem doch um es vorweg zu nehmen, die Vorhersage sah schonmal besser aus. Trotzdem kann sich in Leucate die Wetterlage sehr schnell ändern und zum Ende des Events steht bereits wieder eine bessere Forecast online. Wer wird das Rennen machen? Auf Windsurfnews gibts natürlich tägliche Updates und auch ein Livestream ist für das erste Event der Saison vor Ort. Daumen hoch!
"Gollito" Estredo geht als 6-facher Champion natürlich als Topfavorit in die neue Saison. Fahrer wie Steven van Broeckhoven, Kiri Thode, Amado Vrieswijk, Tonky & Taty Frans sowie Björn Saragoza und Youp Schmit schielen ebenfalls in Richtung Top 3. Das Level ist super hoch und es wird spannend zu sehen wer über den Winter am Besten trainiert hat.
Für Deutschland ist Adrian Beholz bereits seit einigen Wochen an den Spots rund um Leucate und freut sich somit keine extra Anreise mehr zu haben. Ganz im Gegenteil zu Marco Lufen, welcher der zweite deutsche Starter in Südfrankreich sein wird und sich mit seinem Bus bereits auf die Reise machte.
Noch mehr Infos gibts in der PWA Press Release von Chris Yates unten.
The elite of the male freestyle world will have the honour of raising the curtain on the 2015 PWA World Tour as they prepare to explode into action during the Mondial du Vent PWA World Cup, which runs between the 20th-25th April. After a five month break windsurfing is set to return to the world stage with a bang. Leucate is located in the South of France – approximately 130km southwest of Montpellier. During the winter Leucate has a population of about 11,000 people, but during the summer months this figure rises to around 80,000 – with many arriving to take advantage of the golden sunshine, pristine white sand beaches and of course the famous Tramontana wind which whistles down the Pyrenees Mountains – sometimes in excess of 60 knots – to transform Leucate into a windsurfing paradise. The wind is so reliable and frequent here that there are around 300 windy days a year.
Ones to Watch
As the reigning world champion – Jose 'Gollito' Estredo (Fanatic / North / MFC) – will enter the opening event of the year as the undoubted favourite and the man that everyone has to beat. With six world titles to his name at the age of just twenty-six, Gollito, is the undisputed King of freestyle and will be looking to lay down the gauntlet once more. However, there will be a stern test waiting for him.
The first of those contenders will be Steven Van Broeckhoven, who has finished the past two seasons as the vice-world champion and he will be desperate to go one better this year. The Belgium maestro claimed his solitary world crown in 2011 and will be more determined than ever to add to that. Van Broeckhoven suffered a knee injury at the start of the off season, but is back to full fitness and will be a major threat in the season opener.
The 2013 world champion – Kiri Thode (Starboard / GA Sails) – will be on a mission to reclaim his world champion status, having relinquished the title to Estredo when leading the title race heading into the final event of 2014. Judging from Thode's latest video, the Bonairean wizard has taken his sailing to another level yet again, with crazy combinations such as kabikuchi into culos now in his armoury to back up his usual fluid and explosive array of tricks. Expect to see Thode finishing in the prestigious top three at a minimum.
Fellow Bonairean – Amado Vrieswijk (JP / Severne) – proved already last year that he possesses all of the skills necessary to challenge the best in the business and was deservedly crowned the PWA Youth World Champion in 2014, after finishing fourth overall. However, the nineteen year old will have a bigger prize in his sights this time around. Expect to see trademark air kabikuchis and double culos as he looks to kick off the season with a bang.
Steven van Broeckhoven
Bonaire is renowned for producing world class freestylers and as a result there will be a whole host of Bonairean's in the running for the prestigious top three. The legendary Frans brother's – Tonky (Tabou / GA Sails) and Taty (Starboard / GA Sails / Mystic / MFC) – will be a major force to be reckoned with alongside the likes of Bjorn Saragoza (Starboard / Hot Sails Maui), seventh overall in 2014, and Youp Schmit, who has battled back from a serious knee injury and looks to be back at his best from his latest video, which sees the twenty-two year old landing the first ever air double culos.
Dieter Van der Eyken (Starboard / Severne) has a been a prominent member of the overall top ten for the past four years, and after another winter of training under his belt in Western Australia and Bonaire, will be hoping to kick on from finishing in an excellent fifth place overall in 2013 and '14. The Belgium is one of the most diverse sailors on the tour – landing the latest power moves and combinations on both tacks and will once again be someone to keep a careful eye on.
Antony Ruenes (Tabou / GA Sails) enjoyed his best year to date on the PWA World Tour last year as he finished sixth overall – including a superb second place in Sylt. Ruenes will be leading the charge of the French alongside Nicolas Akgazciyan (99NoveNove / Point-7 / AL360), Adrien Bosson (Fanatic / North / Maui Ultra Fins) and Julien Mas (JP / Avanti), all of whom will be hoping to make the most of their home advantage.
Freestyle Action – click for fullsize – pics by John Carter / PWA
The level on the freestyle world tour in so incredibly high right now that there simply isn't an easy heat anymore, which means there's also a whole host of sailors, who are capable of beating anyone on their day. From the likes of the hugely talented Dutchman Davy Scheffers (Tabou / GA Sails) – tenth overall in 2014, whilst being ranked as high as fifth overall in 2012, to Adrian Beholz (Fanatic / Sailloft Hamburg), Max Rowe (Fanatic / North).
Another sailor to keep a close eye on is Phil Soltysiak (Starboard / Sailworks), who until last year had finished in the world's top ten for the past six years. The Canadian was hampered by injury for much of last season, but is now back to full fitness and would look a sure fire bet for a place in the top ten.
Don't be surprised if there a few upsets either as some of the up and coming generation look to take the scalps of some of there unsuspecting rivals. Word on the street is that twenty year old Belgian – Yentel Caers (JP / NeilPryde) – is sailing extremely well and has plenty of experience of sailing in Leucate, so could be a major threat, whilst Brazilian wonder kid Hugo Sousa (RRD / RRD / Maui Ultra Fins), could also shine in the strong winds and flat water.
Make sure you don't miss any of the amazing action by tuning into www.pwaworldtour.com between the 20th-25th April. Here you'll be able to follow the majority of the freestyle action as it happens via the PWA live stream and live ticker. It promises to be a spectacle you can't afford to miss. Who's your money of for the first event of 2015?

O mnie
If I told you I discover CS on the 22nd of June and in two days I was having my first host from the other side of the world...maybe you will understand me a little bit better.
And it was absolutely great.
What I mean is if I found anything I like, I just join and enjoy it.
We are here just for one life. Don't waste it. That could be one.
But my best is since I know this project, thinking about other world it would be better if CS Philosophy would be applied to all of our matters...if you have the help to my necessity...o I have the help to you.
Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
At the moment, I'm not travelling...
Well, in a CS way, I mean.
One day, in a CS Barcelona Meeting, one mate said that "hosting is a cheapest way of travelling".
I 101% agree.
Too many request (Barcelona is so popular, and me so happy and proud) but unfortunately I can't answer and attend each one properly..
After that, differents hosts from Chile (Juan Carlos), Russia (Natalia), Poland (Magdalena), Norway (Karoline), China (Hexuan), Korea (Sooyoon), US (Taylor), from Zhuhai/Macau (Jingwen), Dominican Republic (Emely), Jaclyn (from Detroit -Michigan) Argentina (Ana) have been at my place....
Also coffees and beers with people from all over..
Who is next?
My first interest is to enjoy what I'm doing every single second of my life.
Every moment is made for each occasion.
I hope you will find yours.
- pets
- beer
- traveling
Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami
Here, I'm trying to explain a little bit more about me and about my humble rules:
- I'm in a different house than the one I used to be: this is more bigger, more space....but at the moment, with no beds...Maybe I can have an inflatable bed. And of course, on the couch....both pretty big.
- I'm smoker, but always smoking outside.
- No pets
- Private toilet and shower for you.
- You can use a fully equiped kitchen.
- I don't have extra keys..that means you must leave home at the same time as me, o before. For the arriving time, on a work days I usually come back about 18/19h. So you have plenty of time to enjoy the city.
- What I usually offer is about 2/3 nights. Never just one night...and never more than those 2/3....because I think than more than 2/3 nights is "like an abuse"....considering this philosophy.
- I don't really like to host people with no references.
With this little summary...you think I can help you? Will you be comfortable with me?
What I have is what I can offer....but you should accept.
Tell me if you agree.

Discussion in 'Miami Dolphins Forum' started by Heisenphin, May 5, 2014.
If he was ever ripe for this picking it would be now. :lol:
Like a boss.
We probably will let that Tom Brady keep killing us. And don't call me Shirley.
---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------
Btw, his hair plugs are more noticeable with this hairdo.
Gisele certainly looks ripe for the picking. Tom is just a low hanging fruit.
I know he's right handed, but surely he's got more grip in his left than he's showing....
and yes Dolphin7273 - don't call me Shirley
He's all over that ***. If he wants to look like a Metro, it's his hair and clothes. I just want to kill the Cheatriots.
This vibes coming off this "union" scream "John Travalta - Kelly Preston" !!!
I've seen hundreds of better looking woman in a span of months just on the streets than Gisele. I will never understand the fascination with her.
She has a nice body but kind of a butter face....a little too manly for my tastes
Am I the only one that thinks Gisele is really not all that? :idk:
Seen better looking women strolling around South Beach.
Not at all. I certainly wouldn't kick her out of bed, but I too feel I see much better looking women every time I leave my house.
We beat them last time. Brady's time is coming he needs to retire if you saw the same brady last year i have to question if you really watched him. Hes on the down swing
Didn't Tommy boy have a justin beiber like hairdo awhile back?
p.s. Brady is holding on to the cocktail tighter.
She's not hot
I mean id dress however my wife wanted me to too, but damn he looks .... idk indescribable lol. And he will still beat us but I doubt he looks like that come the season
As in retire right now? Hell I'm game but he's still among the top qb's no doubt about it
I was more so saying a couple years down the road but he's regressing
Unfortunately a "regressing" Brady is still better than 90% of the other QB's in the league, they did play in yet ANOTHER AFC championship game, correct? I get your point, but every offseason since the 08' season that he missed due to injury people have been saying the same thing.
He is still one of the top 4 QB's but the past two seasons he has missed the kinds of clutch throws that he used to always make.
Just look at where the Dolphins are drafting and all the teams that draft before us, they are getting their act together.
That picture was taken at the Kentucky Derby. Here is a shot of him and Aaron Rodgers hanging out before the blazers came off (unfortunately).
Agreed, I just think rather than worrying about Brady's "regression", we should be worrying about our offense's PROGRESSION. No matter what, this offense has to progress to have a chance at the Pats division dominance, I hope the second game last year was a real indicator of things to come, we shall see
I hate Brady soooo much. God I hope one of our players on defense body slams him into the turf.
Maybe it's some kind of costume party.
Hitting mid life crisis already
Tom like his woman's face to be as manly as possible, especially in the offseason, when he is not able to take showers with the guys after the games.
All I see is this
Ah, that's cute. Gay Tom and his tranny friend.
he has but when Gronk goes down(which is at some point each of the last few years) he hasn't had much else, the fact they he led them to a SB and 2 more title games is incredible w/ the talent he had around him. It sucks he is on a div rival but he's quite possibly the best I have ever seen. He's at least top 3 w/ Montana and Marino and no one else is really close to those 3.
I do not understand how his FASHION model wife lets him go out in public wearing the clothes he does.
I am pretty sure she is dressing him.

New Years Resolution: Bring Democracy back to North Carolina
Political scientists, Andrew Reynolds (UNC) and Jorgen Elklit (Aarhus University, Denmark), have designed a method for evaluating the democratic quality of elections around the world. Based on their work in setting up elections in Afghanistan, Burma, Egypt, Lebanon, South Africa, Sudan and Yemen, their method has been adopted by the Electoral Integrity Project, who have used it to measure 213 elections in 153 countries.
A North Carolinian, Reynolds was unpleasantly surprised to find that his own state rated poorly on the democracy scale — on the level of Cuba, Indonesia and Sierra Leone. It's measures of legal framework and voter registration ranked NC with Iran and Venezuela.
North Carolina's districting for legislative elections was the worse in the U.S. – and worse than any other country — worse in the world and worse ever recorded.
According to a compilation of all indicators, North Carolina's government can no longer be classified as a full democracy.
We should hang our heads in shame, that we have allowed this to happen.

Use Your Department of Education to…
Before this absurd presidential election is over and the chilling potentialities have faded, I want to urgently request something of our next president.
We are a great country with a wealth of resources, a rich culture that derives from its heritage of immigration and a government that has been carefully designed by some really smart people. We are greatest when we thrive to better ourselves based on the honorable principles that guided the best of our countries designers. As such, we have an immense responsibility to ourselves and to the world.
In recent months, I have also come to realize how fragile our country is — not because of a failure of resources, culture or even our government (surprise). It's because we have forgotten what our country is about and the spirit behind its creation — and our education system deserves a large part of the blame. We endeavor to prepare our children for their future workplace, and rightly so. But we have increasingly worked toward this goal at the expense of preparing them to become knowledgeable and responsible citizens of a democratic society.
We have angrily express our dissatisfaction with how Congress, the President and the Supreme Court conduct governmental affairs. Yet, according to an Annenberg Public Policy Center study, only 36% of us could name all three branches of government. 35% could not name a single one. Only 27% knew that two-thirds of the House of Representatives and Senate could overturn a Presidential Veto. 21% believe that a 5-4 Supreme Court Decision is sent back to Congress.* Yet the constitution we apparently know so little about grants us the power to select those who will fill our offices of leadership.
Therefore, I earnestly beseech our next president to use his or her Department of Education to enact a complete overhaul of Social Studies education in America. We need to understand the history and heritage of our country, both our successes and our blunders. ..And, additionally, we will not be able to accomplish this without escaping the tyranny of high stakes testing and the multiple choice knowledge that it precipitates.
The United States has an exciting history that folds into an even more exciting world history, and it all influences nearly every aspect of our daily lives. Learning about that history and its social, cultural and economic implications should be just as exciting — and it can be.
It should be.
"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." - George Santayana
..or worse, have it rewritten for them!

Good Enough for the 4th of July, But Not for the Classrooms of North Carolina
The history of my country is accented by acts of enormous bravery, men and women who did what they were told, and more, in the face of the ultimate sacrifice. But among those acts of bravery, for which we owe our independence and freedom, were people who did what they were told by the powers of authority, not to do. The Boston Tea Party is an example, when patriots risked their freedom and even their lives to dump bundles of tea into the Boston harbor, rather than pay the British taxes, imposed without representation. Other such acts of civil disobedience include:
- Refusal to pay federal taxes in protest of slavery and the Mexican War
- Street marches, hunger strikes, and submission to arrest and jail in order to gain the right to vote for women.
- Harriet Tubman's underground railway and other actions which helped to end slavery.
- Sit-down strikes and free speech confrontations to eradicate child labor and improve working condition.
- Sit-ins and illegal marches to gain civil rights for all Americans.
We were taught about these acts and their courageous actors in school and we celebrate them on days like "The 4th of July." They are part of our identity as "the land of the free and home of the brave." But, if this nation's most arrogantly conservative legislature, the North Carolina General Assembly, has its way, such acts will be considered grounds for refusing teacher licensure, in the interest of keeping our children safe.
Protect Students in Schools (Senate Bill 867) was sponsored by Senaters Chad Barefoot, Trudy Wade, Buck Newton and others. The bill suggests that a teacher, who has been "..convicted of a crime, whether a misdemeanor or a felony … indicates the employee poses a threat to the physical safety of students or personnel."1
Among the crimes listed by the bill are murder, rape, kidnapping, robbery, arson and…
I have written a number of blog posts (here, here, here and here) about the declining state of public education in my state, since radical conservatives took the legislative, executive and judicial branches of our state government. Without collective bargaining, North Carolina teachers have little voice in determining the direction of our schools, beyond the voting booth — which the legislature and Governor McRory seek to influence with long awaited for raises, averaging 4.7%.
To put teacher salaries into context, on average North Carolina's pay for public school teachers averaged $1,549.93 below the national mean, between 1970 and 2010. However, between 2010 (when conservatives took control of both houses of our General Assembly) and 2016, NC teacher salaries have fallen to $7,911.66 below the national average. Part of this may be the General Assemblies elimination of a higher pay scale for teachers who continue their education through graduate degrees.2&3
It seems to me that in this time of rapid change, we need to empower our professional educators to lead in our schools with permission to be flexible and creative, as they craft and facilitate learning experiences that help students to become innovators and resourceful learners. But, if our legislature's desire is to turn public education into a market place and our schools into customers for corporate products and sources for corporate profits, then creative, resourceful, passionate, and well-spoken teachers are a factor to be avoided.

What Would You Like to be Doing?
I ran across this Guardian article (Reboot: Adidas to make shoes in Germany again – but using robots) yesterday morning and posted it to my Facebook timeline immediately. I wrote, "The manufacturing jobs that once brought prosperity to many of our towns and cities will not be coming back, if this article represents a trend – and there's no reason to think it does not."
There is a caption on the Guardian page that reads,
If robots are the future of work, where do humans fit in?"1
I think this is an interesting question – and it should not necessarily make us afraid. Why not consider it an opportunity. If we no longer need the economic contribution of every adult to make our national economies work, then a lot of us, a whole lot of us, will be freed. I do not make this statement lightly. Having mostly retired from kmy work life, I have experienced some of the inevitable depression that comes from reflecting on how much my work has dominated more than half of my 60+ years – and I've had the most interesting career that I can imagine. It seems to me that working for a living, as a necessity, is a bit unfair – not that I would give up any of my time in the field of education.
Perhaps the more interesting question should be, "What would you like to be doing?"
If the answer is, "Getting stoned and watching TV." Then we have a problem, and I have no doubt that this would be a common answer. Assuming that I am right, I would suggest that one of most important goals of our public schools in the near future might be, assuring that for our students, the answer to that question is something a lot more productive and interesting.

Tax-Cuts do Spur Employment…
But it's not the tax-cuts we've been sold.
Retirement has given me the time to pursue some of my ongoing curiosities. Not nearly as much time as you might imagine, but more than I had when planning and traveling from gig to gig. At present, it's some of the stories we've been told to justify laws and actions that benefit, I suspect, only a small portion of the country's citizenship. I am curious, because I suspect that many of these stories are nothing more than myths.
Take the rash of tax-cuts awarded to rich Americans over the past decades, across the country and state by state. They were rationalized by the promise that rich people, with large corporations, would use that money to build more production — and hire more workers. It makes sense, assuming the the intentions of these rich people.
In fact, and according to a 2015 study by The National Bureau of Economic Research , and reported in The Wall Street Journal, employment is generated more effectively by cutting the taxes of the poorer 90% than the richer 10%. This also makes sense. Poor people will spend their extra income on goods, generating more demand and consequently, more production. Rich people are already spending enough, so they'll save the extra. One of the paper's authors, Owen Zidar, wrote,
The positive relationship between tax cuts and employment growth is largely driven by tax cuts for lower-income groups and the effect of tax cuts for the top 10% on employment growth is small.1
It's a good read,Tax Cuts Boost Jobs, Just Not When Targeted at Rich, by Pedro da Costa.

Extraordinary Learning
A 15 year old Canadian schoolboy, with a fascination for the ancient Mayan Civilization, recently theorized a correlation between the star positions in major constellations and the geographic locations of known Mayan cities. Based on this theory, he used Google Maps to suggest the location of an unknown ancient city. The Canadian Space Agency was so impressed that they used a satellite-based space telescope to study the spot and confirm the existence of the hitherto, unknown city.
In my work I ran across many ordinary youngsters who — with access to technology, supportive teachers and unconstrained curiosity — did extraordinary things. It all begs for a more empowering and imaginative way of educating our children.
Did our Invasion of Iraq Cost More or Less than Vietnam?
Woke up with an irritating insect buzzing in my head this morning. It was the cost of American wars. Weird! But, unable to sleep because of all the racket, I got up, climbed upstairs with my laptop and did some research, creating this graph based on data I gathered from a 2010 Congressional Research Services report.
The reason that mental insect was so darn irritating was the same reason that I was not surprised to learn that the post 9/11 invasion of Iraq was the second most expensive American war (WWII #1), toping the next, Vietnam, by 50 billion dollars. That's in 2011 dollars.
What I can't figure out is, "Why did Iraq's cost ($784,000,000,000) represent only 1% of its peak year's (2008) U.S. GDP, while Vietnam ($738,000,000,000) amounted to 2.3% of its peak year's (1968) U.S. GDP?

The Day that It Changed for Me
Some of you are aware that I am working on a new book. I wrote about it here, in I Can't Believe that I'm Doing this Again! The initial intent of the book is to describe the history of educational technology, as I have witnessed it. However, I won't really know for sure what this book is about until I finish it. Like all living things, it's becoming…
Reaching the vicinity of 1994 has provoked a long forgotten memory, an event that convinced me that my days, in my cushy government (NCDPI) position, were numbered.
Here's what happened.
The big thing in leadership circles at that time was Total Quality Management (TQM). It was developed by Edward Deming, at least partly during the post-war years helping Japan rebuild its economy. I have shamelessly forgotten all of the tenets of this movement, as with all of the improvement schemes of the 1990s. But TQM was really big thing at NCDPI, as the Associate State Superintendent, Henry Johnson, had recently attended a set of workshops. So inspired was he, that hire the consulting firm and required the entire instructional services staff to attend.
I do not remember the name of the firm that delivered the workshops, nor the name of the little woman who led them. I just remember that she came in about every other week, with two or three young minions in tow, prepared to change the way we did things. Although we felt that we could better use the time, we also recognized that we could alway improve our services. So we came with learning and self-reflection in mind. What we didn't expect was to have our steady-enough legs swept out from under us.
It was near the end of the day of the third or fourth session, when she asked us, "Who do you work for?"
We said, in unison, more than a hundred of us, "The Children of North Carolina." She looked a little puzzled, and then repeated the question, "Who do you work for?" We looked at each other, our turns to be puzzled. Some people, hesitantly called out, "Communities of North Carolina?" "Parents of our students?" "The schools of North Carolina?" "The teachers in the schools of North Carolina?" ..after each attempt that little lady would repeat,
"Who do you work for?"
Our frustration turned to horror when she blurted out, "You work for your General Assembly (legislature)!"
We, in instructional services, had all come to the Department of Public Instruction because we were educators. We were not there working jobs. We had missions. We believed that we were contributing to a better world by serving the education of our children. The North Carolina General Assembly was viewed, most often, as a barrier to our work, restricting us with budget cuts, politically motivated dictates, and the effects of increasingly blaming teachers and NCDPI for what these politicians called, "Failing schools."
Horror probably best describes how we felt when she told us that we worked for the General Assembly, and even more horrible was the sudden realization that she was right. The job of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction was to enforce and support the laws passed by our law-making body.
That was the day that I realized that I would be doing something else, sometime soon.
Vote Today! Vote for…
On this election morning, I am reminded of the second half of Jeff Daniels' speech in the the first episode of "The Newsroom." Here's my slightly edited version…
"We sure used to be (the greatest country). We stood up for what was right! We fought for moral reasons not self-interest, we passed and struck down laws for moral reasons not for greed or spite.
We waged wars on poverty, not poor people.
We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chest.
We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and cultivated the world's greatest scientists, artists and the world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars, and we acted like men.
We aspired to intelligence; we didn't belittle it; it didn't make us feel inferior.
We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, we voted for the best government, not the most or the least – and we didn't scare so easy…"
And we were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed and educated. By great men and women who were revered."
(full & unedited speech here [http://goo.gl/QSJUP], C/O Brian Hines)
If you vote today, vote for the aspirations of our original patriots, not those of the corporate CEOs and boards of directors, who camouflage themselves with terms like patriots and TEA party.
My 2¢ Worth…
You're Learning Something Important when It…
My son and I went to Charlotte on Monday to watch the Bobcats' final game. It was game four of the playoff series with the Miami Heat. It was an unfortunate pairing. If Charlotte had come in 8th or 6th place in the conference, they would have been playing teams that they could beat. But the Heat? The generous predictions gave the Cats one game. But the Heat is just too strong. Monday night, I watched our team, which was outmatched in almost every way possible, keep up with last year's NBA Champions, with what could only be described as pure and unbridled heart!
My point in writing about this here is to say that if you had handed me the above paragraph three years ago, and suggested that I'd write it in April 2014, I would have ask you for what you've been smoking.
I was a player when I was young, with some talent in baseball and football. I wasn't exceptional, by most measures, but I won first place in the NFL's Punt, Pass and Kick competition in my town two years straight and 3rd place after that. I loved playing football and baseball, but I never picked up basketball. I was never very fast and have always had difficulty getting both of my feet off the ground at the same time
That said, I was never a spectator. I've never enjoyed watching any sport and have never been interesting in the whole jockese, sports-talk experience. I followed NCAA college basketball off and on, but only to an extent necessary for anyone who lives this close to Duke, UNC and NC State – but I always thought of professional basketball as lumbering giants brut-forcing their way to baskets and championships.
This all changed about three years ago, when my wife and I found ourselves watching YouTube clips of NBA games, narrated expertly and compellingly by our son, Martin. Like me, he had never had any interest in sports as a topic. He played in the band, and at the high school he attended, it was the band-geeks who were the cool kids on campus, not the jocks.
But Martin has an amazing ability to take a topic of interest and very quickly master its facts and concepts and be able to talk about it with people who have been immeshed in the matter for years. He inspired us by sharing professional basketball's sights and sounds, and more importantly, its personality.
He showed us
The magical slight-of-hand of Ricky Rubio,
The sublime grace of Kevin Durant,
The nearly unshakeable cool of James Harden,
The fierce tenacity of Nate Robinson,
The unassailable concentration of Tony Parker,
The passion that can be evoked from that too weird face of Chris Bosh,
And the superhuman athleticism of Lebron (king) James.
We became interested and then passionate, and finally increasingly knowledgable about professional basketball, because of what our son conjured up for us. I understand much of the world around me, because I can identify with what I see. I can mentally put myself in the shoes of people and surmise their perspective. But what I see in most NBA games, I can not feel in my own muscles and this is compelling to me.
Our son provoked us by exceeding our imaginations.
Software can't do this!
Government standards can't do this!
Corporate models and for-profit schools can't do this!
Only a skilled and inspired teacher can do this!
Only the "art" of teaching can inspire us by exceeding our imaginations!

Neglected problems such as leaks can result in mold growth.

For many of the Northerners who make South Florida their winter home, upkeep of their part-time homes in the Sunshine State falls by the wayside during those months that they reside up North. Neglect can lead to all types of problems, including problems with pests, HVAC problems and issues with mold. Without proper maintenance, these homes can fall prey to leaks, rodents, bugs, mold and more. Seasonal residents along the East coast, including in places like Hollywood, Miami, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, may require professional help to deal with mold when they settle into their South Florida homes for the season. They can look for licensed mold remediation fort lauderdale businesses to help them if they find mold.

Mold growths may present themselves in different ways to snow birds when they make their way down to South Florida. In some cases, people will notice unsightly stains or growths on ceilings and walls. Mold often forms around windows and doors. In other scenarios, the smell of mold will alert people to its presence. Mold can produce a musty and unpleasant odor. Some people may not know that they face problems with mold until they experience health effects as a result of mold exposure. They could have allergic reactions from exposure to mold or experience symptoms such as wheezing, rashes, eye irritation, coughing and headaches. Professional and experienced mold removal west palm beach companies can help the area's part-time residents quickly resolve mold problems in their homes.

Mold and other nuisances can easily mar people's time in South Florida. Mold can make living in a home unhealthy, unpleasant and unsanitary. The presence of pests can also endanger people's health. Snowbirds may want to consider hiring caretakers to look in on their homes while they reside out of the area. Such caretakers can address troubles such as roof leaks, broken windows and bugs before they lead to costly and inconvenient problems.

Mold removal firms in Boca Raton can address mold growths in classrooms and other locations.

Mold problems threaten the sanctity and cleanliness of stores, houses of worship, schools, universities, condominiums, restaurants and other places across the City of Boca Raton. Mold can develop from small amounts of moisture and warmth in buildings and structures throughout the South Florida region. The region's warm temperatures and high humidity make it an excellent breeding ground for mold, particularly during rainy season, when heavy rains can lead to roof leaks and excess moisture buildup indoors. Mold growths in buildings across the area can threaten the health and well-being of people across the area. Residents and businesses in areas like Mizner Park, Boca Del Mar, downtown, West Boca Raton and Boca Pointe can hire firms that perform mold remediation boca raton services to test for mold and eliminate the substance when necessary.

Mold growths in homes, apartment buildings, schools, cafes and other places can harm the health of people and animals. Mold can also produce unpleasant odors, and mold spores look very unsightly and unsanitary. Exposure to mold can cause people to develop rashes, headaches, allergic reactions, wheezing, coughing, reddened eyes and other symptoms. Mold often establishes itself in areas of excess moisture and water damage, such as under sinks, in basements and in attics. Mold can also grow in ventilation systems of buildings as well as inside walls that contain leaking pipes. People and businesses in places like Fort Lauderdale, Miami, West Palm Beach, Hollywood, Delray Beach, Hialeah and Jupiter can use the services of mold removal south florida businesses to get rid of mold spores in houses, condos, apartment buildings, townhouses, churches, mosques, temples, universities, high schools, elementary schools and other locations.

In addition to endangering people's health, mold can also weaken structures in some cases, undermining wooden frames, wood stairs and other wood structures. In these occurrences, mold damage in South Florida can contribute to injuries.

The Diary of Lizzie Dopps
Chapter II
There was in my Grandfather and Grandmother Matthews family besides my father his sister Carrie who married Harry Winder. They lived in Richmond, Indiana, They had two daughters, Alice, a splendid kindergarten teacher and Edith, a librarian, There was also one son, Bennie, who died in the army during the Civil War,
Aunt Carrie died in 1897.
I do not know when Uncle Harry, her husband, died.
And then my father had another sister,
Ann Eliza, also a brother Ed, a brother Will and a
brother Oliver.
I do not remember much about my uncles, but years later I again met Aunt Mattie, wife of my father's brother, my Uncle Oliver. I also met Aunt Mattie's and Uncle Oliver's two daughters, Olive and Jessie.
There was also a son Albert, in my Uncle Oliver's family. Albert was in the wholesale millinery business in Indianapolis. They all lived in Indianapolis for many years, with the exception of Jessie, who married Charles Thornburg and lived in Anacortes, Washington for some years. Jessie and Charles Thornburg had one son Winston, who is now married and lives in Buffalo, Hew York. Charles is dead and Jessie lives in Seattle with her sister Olive.
Uncle Oliver died October 6, 1906, at the age of seventy-three. At the tine of Uncle Oliver's death, his daughter Olive was then about sixteen years old and at his deathbed Olive promised to care for her mother as long as she lived, a promise she certainly fulfilled. I have never seen a more devoted daughter—-practically giving up her life, or all her wishes, to care for her mother.
After Aunt Mattie passed away, Olive married her sweetheart of fifteen years courtship, Austin Donworth. Theirs was a short life of married happiness, though as "Don" passed away two years after their marriage.
Olive had always been very near and dear to me. In Aunt Mattie's declining years I cared for her in our home.
My Aunt Ann Eliza had two daughters Inda and Mayme, but Cousin Will had passed away. Cousin Inda's husband was general passenger agent of the St. Paul division of the Northern Pacific Railway, a very good position, had their own private car, etc. Cousin Inda passed away some years ago, but not until we had renewed our relationship after not knowing of each other for many years,
Cousin Mayme lived at Dash Point. Her husband Harry Dean soon died in 1926. They had one son, Joseph, who is married and living in California, doing very well financially.
I see my dear Cousin Maymie quite often. She is a dear, patient soul, who has had a stroke and is rather helpless, but is always so cheerful and happy.
It was rather strange the way I again renewed our relationship with Aunt Mattie and these cousins after so many years of not seeing them or knowing anything about them.
One day in 1900 I was wondering about my relatives I had not seen for so many years. I was filled with nostalgia to see them or hear of them, at least.
I did not know if Uncle Nathan, my mother's brother, was still living, but if so, I thought he would probably be at the old homestead in Ohio, as he was the last of my Grandfather Branson's family, my mother and her sister, Eliza, having passed on years ago.
As I have said before, Uncle Nathan was my mother's brother. I did not much remember him. My clearest memory was that when he was married at a Quaker ceremony, I, being a tiny girl, grew so restless at the long service. At the dinner which followed, I vehemently announced, "Well, when I get married, I'll never marry a Quaker!" At that they all laughed and asked, "Well now, Lizzie, what has thee got against the Quakers?" My answer was, "It just takes too long to get married, and I'm hungry!"
As I started to relate, this day years later in 1900, I had a longing to know more of my people I had not seen for so many years, and decided I'd write to Uncle Nathan, and if he still lived, and was at the old homestead, I knew I'd receive an answer from him.
He was still living, and at the old homestead which had then been in the family almost ninety years. He wrote and told me of all he knew of my relatives--not only of my mother's and his family but also of my father's people--the Matthewses.
It was in this way I found that my cousin Jessie Matthews Thornbearg, was living in Anacortes, not many miles away from me. I immediately wrote to her and she came to see me, and when her mother and sister. Olive, came west to visit her soon afterward, they stopped off to see me also, and so renewed the relationship which we have ever since kept up.
Through them, my Cousin Maymie and her husband, Harry Dean, learned where I lived, and a few years later when they came west to reside, they made a visit and then settled in Tacoma.
I have spoken of my father's people, now I shall speak of my mother's.
My mother's sister, Eliza, married Marcellus S. Cook, February, 1850. On September 30, 1851, a daughter, Anna, was born to them. My Cousin Anna and I were very near of an age, just one month and one week difference, I being the older.
Two years later, 1853, a son, Hadly, was born to my Aunt Eliza and Uncle Marcellus Cook, but his was a short life, he being only two years old when he died in 1855.
Two more years passed by and my Aunt Eliza gave birth to twin daughters, Thomasin and Elizabeth, November 2, 1857.
Twenty-five days after their birth, on November 27, 1857, dear Aunt Eliza passed on. Elizabeth, one of the twin babies, died in infancy.
My Grandfather Branson, Aunt
Eliza's father, and his second wife--his first wife having died several
years previously--took the two little girls, Anna, aged six, and Thomasin,
a tiny baby, into their home to raise,
When Grandfather Branson passed on to his heavenly home, sixth month, fifteenth day, 1875, he left a small fortune in money to my Cousin Anna. He also left some money to Thomasin and some to me. I shall speak of that later.
Anna was then not quite twenty-four years old. She went to Cincinnati to an aunt of hers--her father's sister--and with her money studied to be a linguist.
In order to become more proficient in this, she went to Europe and spent one year in Germany. Upon returning to the United States, she taught languages. She also had a Sunday school class of seventy boys.
However, her useful life was abruptly cut off when she contracted what was then called "hasty consumption," and after a brief illness, died the thirteenth day of October, 1877, at the age of twenty-six, thus closing a brief but brilliant career. And this closes the chapter of the history of my mother's older sister Eliza, and her family.
My Uncle Nathan, my mother's brother, married Anna Swain and they lived on the old homestead in Ohio.
They had three children, Evelyn, who married Ralph Howell; Swain, who married Elizabeth Prilman, and Louella, who married Howard S. Smith. Aunt Anna died March 1, 1902. After we moved to Tacoma, Washington, my Uncle Nathan came west to visit me in his eighty-fourth year, tall, straight, and dignified.

Many of our guests come to enjoy the hiking and biking in Southwest Montana. Just a short distance from the lodge you will find Trapper Peak Mountain trail head with miles of beautiful mountain trails.
The book, "Hiking the Bitterroots" lists all the trails and their difficulty for those wishing to get outdoors on foot. We keep a copy in the Lodge for your reference.
Bitterroot River Float Trips
Southwest Montana Rafting and Floating
Half-day or full-day float trips are available from several outfitters in the Southwest Montana and Idaho area. About the only serious rafting would be over on the Sel-Way river in Idaho. By permit most of the year but early spring and later fall I believe permits aren`t required.
That`s when there is high water with BIG debris or low water. The West Fork of the Biterroot River is next to the Lodge and great for daily float trips with or without that fly rod. We can arrange those trips with our local guides. Just let us know in enough time and they will pick you up here and deliver you back.

Facebook for Android is getting a decent update today in the Google Play Store. Who's excited? I know many of you are hoping this would be the new and improved native Facebook app we've been hearing about, but sadly that isn't the case. This isn't the much anticipated native app but you'll be happy to know the entire photo upload, sharing, and albums part of Facebook for Android has been improved.
Sadly this isn't the native app built to replace the current HTML5 app to enhance the Facebook experience — or actually make it usable I should say. It's just a small update. Facebook's been under a lot of flack lately for their Android app, and how terrible the experience is. While we still have to wait for that app to arrive, users will be happy to know this update fixes a few pesky bugs.
With today's update Facebook photo tagging will be much faster and more efficient. They've also added the option to choose which album you upload photos to on mobile, instead of them all just going under the mobile uploads album. This is by far a huge complaint and something we're glad to see finally get added — took long enough.
Then the usual comments about performance, speed, and bugs is mentioned, but nothing too specific. Facebook does mention that they have solved some bugs around members using different languages as well. As usual the update is available right this minute for all you Facebook fans. Head to the Google Play Store and grab it today.

Unanswered: sqluimpr/sqluexpr but with Java
importing/exporting APIs ought to be available via Java (JDBC)...
It seems odd with decent Java support for most database managers that DB2 does not provide similar sqluimpr/sqluexpr API utilities in any other language than C. More so given the popularity of JDBC.
I written an Ant XML based document that connects XML tags to Java JDBC functions to open a connection, import/export data, and close a connection. Currently, I parse only DEL ascii files with a CSV parser and perform either inserts or updates to simulate importing. It would be great if DB2 provides a simple API from JDBC connection/statement constructs for importing data from all three supported formats (del, ixf, and asc).
I realize that the XML Extender utilities are intended to handle import/export cases. However, creating DAD documents for every table in a database is not the most attractive solution to importing/exporting data. It is rather easy to pull data via rec2xml commands but an admin hassel to put back the data into a mirror table.
Any suggestions? - Matthew Young

Yes. FIrst let me explain why. IMPORT and EXPORT are NOT SQL. They are DB2 commands. That is why they cannot be executed with the JDBC standard. There is a way to perform any DB2 command through Java though.
Take a look at the sample code provided by IBM:
especially the runstats.zip one.
This is what you are basically doing.
1) open a DB2 command window
2) execute the java app in this window
3) the Java app spawns child processes that do the Db2 commands

JDBC support for transforming XML
andy, i realize that import/export are DB2 utilities however IBM extended them via a C API and I still find it odd that an extension what not made for Java.
the solution to refer to is not usuable. the reason i mentioned JDBC in the first place is because remote drivers enable non-local calls. the runstats Java example simply kicks off Unix based db2 commands.
somebody has to have thought of integrating XML and JDBC before for import/export tasks. there is db2xml freeware however it doesn't not reuse pre-made JDBCConnection objects as inparameters to ResultSet parsing. major drawback.

Building a Library Collection on a Shoestring Budget
Have you ever wanted to build a library collection but felt you did not have enough money? Well here are a few suggestions to do so if you are on a budget.
It seems these days that many libraries are struggling where finances are concerned and especially the libraries in developing or under-developed countries. How can we as Information Providers serve our customers when for the most part we have little or no money to bargain with?
Here are a few things that has helped me over the years:
- Collaboration: No man is an island and no man stands alone. Work with Librarians and colleagues from other institutions or groups. No one library has all the resources so being active in Library Associations or groups is a great way to get to know what is available at other institutions. Please do not limit your association to just your local library group; join with others as well. There are some excellent groups on Facebook and those can be very helpful.
- Open Educational Resources (OERs): UNESCO defines OERs as "any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them." For the Librarian who is struggling to balance the budget or who may not even have a budget OERs are a God sent. There are so many of these resources around that a library can provide reputable resources for patrons even with limited finances. For a listing of OERs please see Open Educational Resources
- Donations: Another life line of a library with a limited budget is donation. However, for this to be effective it has to be properly managed. There needs to be a donation policy and this should be clearly stated and publicized. Donations can come from many sources, they can come from current and former students, businesses, authors, large donor groups etc. There are some large organizations that are book donors who will supply the books but shipment has to be paid for by the library. It might be a good idea to join forces with other libraries and share the shipping cost since there are minimum shipment requirements.
- Grants: Seek out grants that assist libraries. If you are not familiar with grant writing then it is time to learn and that can be done by just doing a google search. Some places even offer free grant writing classes on-line so search for these and sign up. Again communicate with other Librarians to see what they are doing with regards to grant seeking.

Missionary in Dumaguete
Dumaguete Travel Blog› entry 6 of 10 › view all entries
My first mission trip. My first trip to Dumaguete Island.
Missing the people I met and bonded with so badly. A small island that is very interesting to explore, you may wanna try riding a motorcycle around town, totally relaxing.
I was totally overflowing with the Holy spirit though was physically tired from lack of proper rest the entire 8-day trip. I was only running on adrenaline and the spirit of God.
lets summarize what i got to do and did not imagine that i could, the entire trip:
1. i did ramp modelling, acted, danced, and was a speaker on stage on Managing your Finances.
2. i evangelized to high school and college students in various campuses.
3. i was able to continuously fellowship with fellow sisters and brothers.
4. i attended meetings here and there, gave best practices on how we run the church in Quezon City.
5. i taught steps of a praise dance to the Kid's church volunteers wearing a skirt.
6. i rode on a motorcycle several times around the city.
7. i rode standing on a multicab, enjoying the fresh air in the late evening.
8. i finally got to eat fried ice cream! i tried their famous tempura with sauce no. 5, meaning, the hottest of them all! and i loved it!!! beat that!
9. i got to sing ' i will survive' full of emotion at the karaoke.
10. i attended and did the following for the first time: prophetic presbytery, Young professionals night, conduct 121(one of our manuals for sharing), and attend a prayer meeting.
11. had fun swimming, touring, and socializing with the Dumaguete church members.
it was one of those life changing events. it was definitely an exciting trip that helped me to get to know my strengths better, and facilitate the release of personal issues.

I coundnt believe it today but I got treatment today after feeling so bad for the last two weeks. I thought for sure I would get an extra week off before next treatnent. But my oncologist made sense when he said "I want to get ahead of this". And I just had to think back a mere two weeks earlier that my tumors were growing and expanding and there weren't other chemos out there except this new super avastian chemo zaltrap which has really knocked the crap out of me. Going to the onc this morning was a wake up call to buckle down because this could be the last hope for modern medicine for me. So out the window to my self pity!! I only pray for all of us to fight our best battle as only we individually can. Jeff.
Oct 24, 2012 - 9:03 am
Hope this Zaltrap kicks cancers butt for you...hope you feel better with this treatment.
Oct 24, 2012 - 10:59 am
I'm sorry to hear the treatment is so hard but I hope this Zaltrap is also knocking the crap out of the tumors. Best wishes to you on this leg of the journey. I don't think you have ever sounded "self pity-ing!" Hang in there, Jeff. Hopefully it will get better.
Oct 24, 2012 - 11:19 am
Hope the zaltrap helps you.
Oct 24, 2012 - 12:47 pm
Jeff, I hope they figure out how you can tolerate this better. Then, I pray you can stay on this a long time. It does get scary when the options run thin.
I'm glad your doctor was able to start you on this. Sloan-Kettering in NY will not even be using this drug.
Oct 24, 2012 - 5:08 pm
courage my friend. I pray it works for you.
Oct 24, 2012 - 6:18 pm
Hang in there Jeff, you can do it, you have shown that in the paste, Forward is all we can do. Sorry to hear it is so hard, wish you feeling better soon.
Oct 24, 2012 - 6:52 pm
Go kick some Cancer Hiney!
Mental health is equally important to the Chemo treatments. Chemo is a difficult journey, and one needs good spirits to combat the pains.
Sending good thoughts and prayers your way!
Best Always, mike
Oct 24, 2012 - 7:36 pm
Hang there ,it will work!.
Oct 24, 2012 - 9:16 pm
Sorry you are feeling so bad, but I'm remembering back and when "not" wanting an extra week off is what happened. It's good to keep it moving if you can. You are in my thoughts and prayers for a better week ahead.
Oct 24, 2012 - 10:02 pm
Jeff, I wish you the best with this new treatment and hope that it kicks cancer's butt !!!
Oct 24, 2012 - 10:47 pm
You are a warrior. Remember, you just came off 8 weeks straight with the pump and went right into the Zaltrap. Super human if you ask me. Praying for you, Ron
Oct 24, 2012 - 11:54 pm
Can't say that I ever heard you playing "Poor,Poor Pitiful me", Jeff. But I'm sure glad that your perking up and getting all bushy tailed. We're all entitled to feel down about our situation, Lord knows that we've all earned it. Patients and caregivers alike! But, your posts have always seemed to be pretty upbeat, so if you were feeling down then you're truly a heroic warrior in this fight because of the positive outlook that you've shown us all.
God Bless!

Arriving home, Peter must jump in the shower to keep a visiting Aunt May from seeing him in costume. At a New Jersey airfield. Ock murders Eddie, a chopper pilot, having his man Martin take his place. At the Bugle, Joe Robertson overhears Peter complaining of his financial problems and suggests he find better paying work. Spidey disrupts a high society penthouse robbery but accidentally destroys a priceless Senkevich painting in the process. Meanwhile, Ock attacks a military base and steals a canister containing a deadly bacillus. Hearing of this, Spidey tracks Ock to a World Trade Center office and attacks, causing Ock to go catatonic. Discovering that only Ock has the code phrases to stop Martin from releasing the bacillus tram the helicopter, Spidey allows the tentacles to defeat him. Seeing this, Ock shakes his catatonia. Badly beaten-up, Spidey convinces him to recall the helicopter so that he will have living witnesses to his triumph. At home, Peter comforts himself that suffering a humiliating defeat saved millions of lives.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by SomeoneYouKnow, Nov 23, 2010.
I just bought a Fascinate
Go check out the same dock screen on a Motorola and you will break down and cry... I went and got the desk/car dock for my Fascinate and also got my son the desk dock on the same day. When we got home and I saw what he got as a home dock screen compared to me had me ready to hit the Fascinate with a hammer!
He gets three swipable pages of completely personalizable and customizable docked home screens while we get one completely useless and non user adjustable dock screen. What a sick joke Samsung played on us there. The car dock is no better.
I know there is a replacement for the stock Car Dock as well as a few 3rd party apps, but I have not seen one for the Desk Dock. Perhaps the same devs that created the modified car dock could work one up for this.
I'm using one called Bedside. Gives a nice dim (customizeable) clock and you can customize with music, alarm, and app shortcuts on the clock screen.
Still playing with it to see what apps I want to put on there. Haven't yet found anything as extensive as the CCH car dock replacement tho.
I have to concur with your conclusions on both apps. Thumbs up to both.
Thanks for the tip on Bedside. This looks like what I need.
I like nightstand bold. All elements on the screen move to eliminate burn in
This is also what I'm using, and I like the black screen with the stars always scrolling past to help battle against screen burn, but even with the low light setting I wish the clock numbers where much less bright. If I could change the clock font to a medium grey or a brown color it would help darken the display a great deal, but you do not get this as a user config option. It is still the best simple bed time dock screen I have found to date.
Thanks for the suggestion about 'Bedside' I will give it a try. My problem comes from the update to Foyo 2.2 and using Desk Cradle. I like having it on during the night, acts like a night light for me and I just like being able to glance at the phone and seeing what time it is. 2.2 does not allow the screen to stay lite even though my phone is plugged into the wall charger. Samsung tech via keyboard told me it can't be done any more???? Any work around yet????
Tried screeble?
Aosp clock... stays lit all night.
My Droid X dock screen does rock. I use it in the Moto Desk dock as my alarm clock. I haven't even tried using the dock function on my Fascinate, well because at the time, Samsung didn't have a dock to initialize it. I did use the kickstand case from VZW with it tho. One thing about moto is that they always have kick ass docking accessories for all of their phones.

MyObject was Equal to another MyObject.
I created my Equals
methods like so:
public override bool Equals(object obj){ if (ReferenceEquals(null, obj)) return false; if
(ReferenceEquals(this, obj)) return true; return obj.GetType() ==
typeof(MyObject) && Equals(
I have this class in my c# code:
public class MyItem { public int LocationId { get; set; }
public int Value { get; set; } public int ddlId { get; set;
} }
Here is my Js/Ajax code:
var array = new Array();grid.forEachRow(function (id) {
var object = { Lo
Does anyone know about a good way to accomplish this task?
Currently i'm doing it more ore less this way, but i'm feeling someway
unhappy with this code, unable to say what i could immediately
So if anyone has a smarter way of doing this job i
would be happy to know.
private bool
Check(List<MyItem> list){ bool result = true;
