Consuming Asynchronous Web Services
By Thiru Thangarathinam
IntroductionIn this article, we will see how to use Web services in a real-time Web application. Even though Web services are very powerful and based on open Internet protocols such as XML, HTTP and SOAP (that accounts for platform independence), using them in a real-time Web site requires careful consideration of performance implications. For example, if before showing a particular page you try to call out two or three Web services across the Internet to get data, the responsiveness of the site is going to be severely impacted. At the same time, you cannot avoid calling out to Web services to get the data you want. However, if you carefully plan your Web application, you can take advantage of the functionalities of the Web services without impacting the performance of the application.
Architecture of the System
Our requirement is to get the stock quote from the remote Web service and display the stock quote in different kinds of applications such as a Windows form application and a Web form application without affecting the performance. The following pieces are tied together to construct this application.
Before we look at the code, let me briefly introduce some of the new .NET features like Windows Service, Timer Component, ASP:XML server control, and .NET Framework XML API.
Windows Service
There are times where you may want to have your code always running on your server. If you have ever worked with MSMQ, you might have created an application that polls the message queue for every predefined amount of time and checks for new messages. In that case, the application that checks the queue for messages should always be running as a Windows NT Service to poll the message queue frequently. These Windows services do not have any user interface and we can configure Windows services in such a way that they can be automatically started when the computer starts, or they can be paused and restarted at any time.
Prior to Visual Studio .NET, if you wanted to write a Windows service application either you had to use the template provided by ATL, or if you are a VB programmer, you had to embed custom NT service controls in VB to achieve the same functionality. But with Visual Studio .NET, you can easily create an application that has the capability to run as a Service. Visual Studio.NET is supplied with a new project template called Windows Service that provides all the plumbing required for creating the application that can run as a Service. When you create a Visual Studio .NET project as a Service, you can write code to respond to the actions like what should happen when the service is started, paused, resumed and stopped.
Once you create the service, it has to be installed using InstallUtil.exe (Command line utility), which is used to install the service in the local computer. After you install the service, you can start, stop, pause and resume it using Service Control Manager.
Timer Component
One of the new exciting features in the .NET Framework is the ability to create applications that can raise events at scheduled intervals. The Timer component that is contained in the System.Timers namespace is a server-side component that exposes methods and properties through which we can capture events raised by the Timer component and take specific actions according to the requirements.
You can create an instance of the Timer component by:
Timer component exposes a property named Interval, the value of which determines the specified interval at which the Elapsed event is raised. As the name suggests, the Elapsed event is raised whenever the specified time interval expires, and we can write code in this event to implement the custom processing logic that we want to execute.
In this article, we are going to use the Timer component to raise events at the elapsed intervals that will allow us to make a request to a remote Web service in an asynchronous fashion. This frequency of requests is determined by the value of the Interval property. It is also important to note that the server-based timer component is different from the Windows-based timer control that is contained in the System.Windows.Forms namespace. Since the server-based timer components are designed for use with worker threads in a multithreaded environment, they can be more efficient in multithreaded environment unlike their Windows-based counterparts.
.NET Framework XML API
The .NET Framework provides a set of XML classes for developers to create applications based on XML. Microsoft has made every attempt to keep the programming model of these classes in line with the ADO.NET programming model, which also provides a wealth of functionality to work with XML. These XML classes are contained in the System.XML namespace. The methods and properties of the classes present in the System.XML namespace are similar to its predecessor, the MSXML parser component. System.XML namespace is likely to replace the MSXML parser.
All the .NET Framework XML classes are derived from two abstract classes called XmlReader and XmlWriter. XmlReader provides a fast, forward-only, read-only cursor for reading an XML document and XmlWriter provides a mechanism for producing XML document streams. The output produced by these classes conforms to the W3C recommendations. In this article, we will be using XmlTextWriter and XmlTextReader for writing into and reading from an XML file.
ASP:XML Server control
One of the coolest features of .NET is the ability to apply XSLT transforms to XML data and create HTML on the fly. This can be done using the high-performance, built-in server control identified by the tag asp:xml.
The input XML data to the control can be in any one of the following formats: an object of type System.Xml.XmlDocument, an XML string, or an XML file. Similarly the XSL data can be in any one of the following formats: an object of type System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform or an XSL file.
We will be using the following two properties of the control in the later parts of this article.
Indicates the name of the XML file to be used as input data
Indicates the name of the XSL file that contains the transformations to be applied to the XML data
Implementation of the System
We will split the whole application into three different parts.
A Web service can be defined as a programmable logic that is exposed via the Internet using protocols such as HTTP, XML and SOAP. Since Web services are exposed using standard Internet protocols, any application that can communicate using these standards can interact with a Web service. Web services provide well-defined interfaces of their functionality through an XML based language called Web Services Description Language (WSDL). This language not only describes the functionality of the Web service but also describes each of its methods, the parameters they take, and their return value. It is similar to the way a COM object exposes its functionalities through a type library.
In this section, we will be implementing a Web service called StockQuoteWebService. This Web service basically invokes the stored procedure called StockQuoteGet, which is defined as follows:
Here is the code required to implement the Web service.
We start our implementation by importing all the required namespaces.
We pass the name of the stored procedure we want to execute and the previously created SqlConnection as arguments to the constructor of the SqlDataAdapter object.
To create a Windows service application in Visual C#, select File->New Project and then select Visual C# Projects from the Project Types and select Windows Service from the List of templates. Enter the name of the project as WinPollingService. Once the project is created, rename the default service class from Service1 to QuotePollingService.
The following figure shows the Properties window of our QuotePollingService. Through this window, we can set properties such as CanStop and CanShutdown to either true or false. These settings determine what methods can be called on our service at runtime. For example, when the CanStop property is set to true, the OnStop method will be automatically called when the service is stopped through the Service Control Manager.
Once we set all the properties to appropriate values, we need to add the installers that are required for installing our Windows service application as a service. To add these installers, we click on Add Installer (shown in the above figure) in the Properties window of the QuotePollingService class.
After we add the installer classes, we need to change the Account property of the ServiceProcessInstaller instance to use the LocalSystem account. This is shown in the following diagram.
Since our Windows service depends on the methods of the StockQuoteService to get the stock quote, we need to reference the Web service that we created in the previous step. In Visual Studio .NET, this is done using the Add Web Reference option.
To add a Web reference, right click on the project in the Solution explorer and select Add Web Reference. In the Add Web Reference dialog box, enter the path of the .asmx file of the Web service.
When you add a Web reference of a Web service to your project, Visual Studio .NET automatically generates a proxy class that not only interfaces with the Web service but also provides a local representation of the Web service.
Let us look at the code required to implement our Windows service.
Now that we have created the Windows service application, let us create a Windows installer to install the Windows service. For this purpose, add a new Setup project named WinPollingServiceSetup to the WinPollingService solution. Once the setup project is created, add the Project Output of the WinPollingService to the setup project. You can do this by right clicking on the WinPollingServiceSetup project from the Solution Explorer and select Add->Project Output from the context menu. In the Add Project Output Group dialog box, select Primary Output from the list and click OK. Now that we have added the output of the WinPollingService project to the setup project, we then need to add the installer that we created earlier in the WinPollingService project as a custom action. To do this, select the WinPollingServiceSetup project from the Solution Explorer and select View->Editor->Custom Actions from the menu. In the Custom Actions editor, right click on the Custom Actions folder and select Add Custom Action from the context menu and then select the Primary Output of the WinPollingService project from the dialog box.
Implementation of Client Applications
Now that we have created the Windows service application that periodically refreshes the contents of the XML file with the latest stock quote, we will look at how different applications use this XML file. To illustrate, we will consider the following two types applications:
Windows Forms Application
We create a new Visual C# Windows application using the New Project dialog box and call it StockWinFormsClient. Once the project is created, add a Timer control to the form and set its Interval property to 5000. We also add three label controls and name them lblStock, lblName and lblMessage respectively. The label control lblStock is the one that displays the stock quote that is obtained from the XML file.
Since we set the interval property of the Timer control to 5000, the Tick event of the timer control will be fired for every 5000 milliseconds.
Web Forms Application
Now, let us have a look at how we can use the XML file that is created by the Windows service application, to display the stock quote information in a Web forms application. Let us start by creating a new Visual C# ASP.NET Web application project called StockWebFormsClient. Once we create the project, we add the asp:xml server control to the Web form and set its DocumentSource and TransformSource properties to stocks.xml and stock.xsl respectively.
The entire code of the Web form page named WebForm1.aspx is as follows:
As we can see from the above figure, the first half of the page is generated by the asp:xml server control, and the second half of the page, which has the static display, originates from the parent Web form.
Putting it all together
Now that we have constructed the different parts of the application, let us test the application by going through the following steps.
Implementation of Web Service
This Windows service application invokes the Web service asynchronously at scheduled intervals, which is determined by the interval property of the Timer component. This application gets the stock quote from the Web service, and it stores that value in the XML file named stocks.xml that is created on the fly.
In this section, we will see how this XML file (that has the updated stock information) can be used by different applications. Towards this end, we will consider the following:
create procedure StockQuoteGet
@Name char(4)
select * from Stocks
where Name = @Name
As you can see, the stored procedure is very simple, and it returns the stock quote from the stocks table based on the name of the company passed in as the argument.
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
[WebMethod(EnableSession=false,Description="This Method returns the stock quote
based on the name of the company")]
public string GetQuote(string name)
DataSet dstQuote;
SqlConnection sqlConn;
SqlDataAdapter command;
DataTable dtStockTable;
string connString;
string price;
connString = "server=localhost;uid=sa;pwd=thiru;database=15Seconds";
sqlConn = new SqlConnection(connString);
command = new SqlDataAdapter("StockQuoteGet", sqlConn);
command.SelectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
command.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Name",
command.SelectCommand.Parameters["@Name"].Value = name;
dstQuote = new DataSet();
command.Fill(dstQuote, "Stocks");
//Assign the table to the DataTable object variable
dtStockTable = dstQuote.Tables["Stocks"];
//Return the value present in the Price column
price = dtStockTable.Rows[0]["Price"].ToString();
return price;
Let us walk through the code line by line to understand the execution of the Web service.
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;
Since we need to access the Sql Server database to get the stock quote, we import the namespace System.Data.SqlClient using the code shown below. This namespace contains all the classes required for accessing SqlServer database using native calls that result in high performance.
using System.Data.SqlClient;
The attribute WebMethod specifies that this method is Web-callable and the ASP.NET runtime provides all the underlying plumbing required for exposing this method to the Internet clients. We also specify that we do not want to store state across requests from a single consumer by setting the EnableSession property to false. The Description property allows us to provide a brief description of the functionality of our Web service.
[WebMethod(EnableSession=false,Description="This Method returns the stock quote
based on the name of the company")]
In this line, we create an instance of the SqlConnection object, passing to it the connection string that is required to establish connection with the database.
sqlConn = new SqlConnection(connString);
Once we create an instance of the SqlConnection object, we can then create the SqlDataAdapter object.
command = new SqlDataAdapter("StockQuoteGet", sqlConn);
Here, we indicate that we want to execute the stored procedure by setting the CommandType property to Stored Procedure.
command.SelectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
Since our stored procedure takes the company symbol as an argument, we add the Name parameter in the following line.
command.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Name",
After we add the parameter, we assign the passed name to the Value property of the parameter object.
command.SelectCommand.Parameters["@Name"].Value = sName;
dstQuote = new DataSet();
We then populate the DataSet with the results of the stored procedure execution by invoking the Fill method of the SqlDataAdapter object.
command.Fill(dstQuote, "Stocks");
The Tables collection of the DataSet object contains all the tables that are returned as a result of the stored procedure execution. From this collection, we retrieve the Stocks table and assign it to the DataTable object using the following line of code.
//Assign the table to the DataTable object variable
dtStockTable = dstQuote.Tables["Stocks"];
Once we get the DataTable object, we can then easily extract the value present in the Price column of and assign it to the local variable price.
//Return the value present in the Price column
price = dtStockTable.Rows[0]["Price"].ToString();
Finally, we return the value present in the variable price to the caller.
return price;
Implementation of Windows Service Application
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.ServiceProcess;
using System.Xml;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
public class QuotePollingService : System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase
private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components;
private localhost.QuoteService _service;
private System.IAsyncResult _asyncResult;
private System.Timers.Timer timer1;
private string _name;
static void Main()
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
ServicesToRun = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] { new
QuotePollingService() };
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
// TODO: Add code here to start your service.
_name = "MSFT";
_service = new localhost.QuoteService();
timer1.Enabled = true;
private void timer1_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
//Invoke the GetQuote method in asynchronous fashion with the //callback method
_asyncResult = _service.BeginGetQuote(_name ,new AsyncCallback(WriteResult),
private void WriteResult(IAsyncResult oRes )
string result;
result = _service.EndGetQuote(oRes);
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
writer.WriteComment("This file represents the stock quote returned from the web
writer.WriteStartElement("stockquote", null);
writer.WriteStartElement(_name, null);
writer.WriteElementString("price", result);
//Write the XML to file and close the writer
We start by importing all the required namespaces. As you can see, we have also imported the System.Xml namespace to get access to the XML related classes.
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.ServiceProcess;
using System.Xml;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
In the following lines of code, we declare objects of type QuoteService and IAsyncResult.
private localhost.QuoteService _service;
private System.IAsyncResult _asyncResult;
static void Main()
Here, we declare an Array of type ServiceBase.
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
All the services contained by the application can be added and run together. Since we are creating only one service named QueuePollingService, we add that to the array.
ServicesToRun = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] { new QuotePollingService() };
The Run method of the ServiceBase class is the main entry point for the service. In the following line of code, we call the Run method and pass the previously created array as an argument.
The OnStart method will be executed when the service is started from the Service Control Manager. In this method, we create an instance of our QuoteService, and we also enable the Timer component to let it raise the Elapsed event at periodic intervals.
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
// TODO: Add code here to start your service.
_name = "MSFT";
_service = new localhost.QuoteService();
timer1.Enabled = true;
As we already said, the Windows service application has a Timer component that has its interval property set to 5000 milliseconds. Whenever this interval elapses, the Timer component automatically fires the Elapsed event. In this event, we call the BeginGetQuote method of the Web service and pass the company symbol as the first argument. We also pass an instance of the AsyncCallback delegate object. To the constructor of the AsyncCallback class, we pass the name of the callback method that is to be called back when the asynchronous operation is completed, as an argument. The BeginGetQuote method returns an object of type IAsyncResult which can be used to check the status of the asynchronous operation.
private void timer1_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
//Invoke the GetQuote method in asynchronous fashion with the //callback method
_asyncResult = _service.BeginGetQuote(_name ,new AsyncCallback(WriteResult), null);
The WriteResult method is called once the Web service finishes its executionm and it is also passes an object of type AsycnResult that encapsulates the results of the asynchronous Web service call that we made.
private void WriteResult(IAsyncResult oRes )
string result;
We get the result by calling the EndGetQuote method, passing to it the AsyncResult object that holds the results of the invocation as an argument.
result = _service.EndGetQuote(oRes);
Here we create an instance of the XmlTextWriter object and specify the path of the XML file to be created.
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter
Client\\stocks.xml", null);
To format the XML Document, we assign the value Indented to the Formatting property of the XmlTextWriter. When this option is set, child elements are indented using Indentation and IndentChar properties. IndentChar property decides which character to use for Indenting and Indentation property determines how many IndentChars to write for each level in the hierarchy.
Here we use the default values for Indentation and IndentChar, which are 2 and space respectively.
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
We use the StartDocument to write out the XML declaration with the version and the standalone attributes. The version attribute will be set to "1.0" and the standalone will have the value "no" as we pass false as an argument to the WriteStartDocument method.
In this line, we write a Comment to indicate that the QuotePollingService application has created this file.
writer.WriteComment("This file represents the stock quote returned from the web service");
Here we write out the specified start tag with the name of the element as stockquotes.
We then write out another element with the name being stockquote.
writer.WriteStartElement("stockquote", null);
We add this line of code to create an element with the name as the value contained in the _name variable.
writer.WriteStartElement(_name, null);
Finally, we write out an element of type string by invoking the WriteElementString method of the XmlTextWriter object.
writer.WriteElementString("price", result);
In the following lines, we write out the corresponding end tag elements.
After we are done writing the elements, we flush the contents and then close the XmlTextWriter object.
//Write the XML to file and close the writer
A sample xml file that is generated by the above code looks like this.
We will start our explanation with the Windows form application
private void timer1_Tick (object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
Here, we invoke the UpdateDisplay method and pass the name of the XML file to be read as an argument.
catch(Exception ex)
The UpdateDisplay method loops through the contents of the XML file and identifies the element with the name "price" by verifying the NodeType and Name properties of the XmlTextReader object.
private void UpdateDisplay(string sPath)
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader (sPath);
while (reader.Read())
if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
if (reader.Name == "price")
Once the element is identified, we read the contents of the element by invoking the ReadElementString method.
lblStock.Text = reader.ReadElementString();
catch(Exception ex)
When we execute this application, we get an output that is similar to the following.
<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs"
AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="StockWebFormsClient.WebForm1" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >

<asp:xml id="Xml1" runat="server" TransformSource="stocks.xsl"
The stocks.xsl file that is used for transforming the contents of the stocks.xml file to html looks like the following.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
<xsl:template match="stockquotes">
<table cellspacing="0" width="100%" border="1"
<tr align="center">
MSFT : <xsl:value-of select="stockquote/MSFT/price" />
<tr align="center">
The stock price is obtained from the xml file generated through the asynchronous web service
If we run the application, we get the following output.
In this article, we have seen the following.
Although the application we created was simple in functionality, it should provide a solid foundation for understanding how to build high-performance, scalable, flexible and reliable Web applications using some of the new features of the .NET framework such as XML based web services, windows service applications, XML API classes and the server-based Timer component.

Charlton 2-1 Blackpool
- From the section Football
Goals from Johnnie Jackson and Scott Wagstaff gave Charlton victory over managerless Blackpool.
The Seasiders, who saw Michael Appleton quit to take charge of Blackburn 24 hours before the game, fell behind when Jackson's 25-yard shot bobbled in.
Wagstaff made it 2-0 before half-time when he pounced after Yann Kermorgant's header was saved.
Blackpool dominated after the break but did not reply until Nathan Eccleston drilled home in injury time.
It was a frustrating afternoon for their assistant manager Steve Thompson, who was in temporary charge following Appleton's exit.
Veteran striker Kevin Phillips, one of those in the frame for the permanent job, missed a great chance to put the visitors ahead after just two minutes when he missed the target with a close-range header from a Nathan Delfouneso cross.
Charlton responded well and Delfouneso was involved at the other end when he nodded a Matt Taylor header off the line.
The Addicks did not have to wait long to take the lead, however, with Jackson finding the net from the edge of the area after Chris Solly's pass was deflected into his path.
Blackpool went close to an equaliser through Isaiah Osbourne and Tom Ince before Wagstaff struck in first-half stoppage time.
The Seasiders could not turn their possession into chances after the break, with Ince guilty of some wayward finishing.
So when Eccleston came off the bench to pull one back in the 93rd minute, it was only a consolation for the visitors as Charlton won at home on a Saturday for the first time this season.
Charlton manager Chris Powell:
"It's Saturday and we've won a game. It's been a long time coming.
"I've been saying if we can improve our home form just a little bit we could have a better position in the league.
"The fans come to the Valley and want to see their team do well to set up their week, and we've done that against a decent Blackpool team."
Blackpool caretaker boss Steve Thompson:
"You try not to give players excuses, but it's not the perfect scenario when yet again these lads are coming in and there is no manager.
"The manager has worked with them for the last two months on how he wants them to play, and the next minute he's gone.
"It's my job to galvanise the players and get their belief back because they have had the stuffing knocked out of them again.
"We need someone in rapidly because January will be massive for this club."

Speech-language pathologists (sometimes called speech therapists) and audiologists work with people of all ages to improve their ability to communicate.
What do speech-language pathologists do?
Since communication disorders affect every aspect of a person's life, the work of a speech-language pathologist is multifaceted:
- prevention, screening, consultation, assessment and diagnosis, treatment, counseling, and follow-up services for disorders of speech, language, swallowing, and cognition
- provide techniques and strategies for improving communication
- diagnostics and intervention for disorders in swallowing
- education for individuals, families, co-workers, and educators about accepting and adapting to speech, language, swallowing, and hearing problems
What do audiologists do?
Access to a spoken and/or manual language is a crucial component of the daily communication required for people to function in their lives. Audiologists work on:
- prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, counseling, and follow-up services for hearing and balance disorders
- provision of technology and strategies for improving communication including hearing aids, cochlear implants, and other assistive listening devices
- education for individuals, families, co-workers, and educators about accepting and adapting to hearing loss
- consultation about the prevention of noise-induced hearing loss and optimizing listening environments for communication
Where do speech-pathologists and audiologists work?
- public schools
- hospitals
- nursing homes
- early intervention programs
- universities
- patient homes

As the large baby-boom population grows older, there will be more instances of health conditions that cause speech or language impairments, such as strokes and hearing loss."
For audiologists, "Employment of audiologists is projected to grow 34 percent from 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations. Hearing loss increases as people age, so the aging population is likely to increase demand for audiologists."
What are the educational requirements?
- master degree (minimum) for speech-language pathologists
- doctor of audiology degree (AuD) or other doctoral degree for audiologists
- licensure in most statesfor
Which Sargent College Programs apply?

Sophia Academy
2880 Dresden Drive
Atlanta, GA 30341
Map It!
Founded in 1999 by Marie Corrigan, Sophia Academy, a school located in Atlanta, Georgia, for children with learning differences, was awarded the ENERGY STAR for superior energy performance in 2010 with an energy performance score of 84. Since 2006, Sophia has been an active participant in the Green Cup Challenge, a nationally organized contest among schools throughout the country to reduce energy consumption, and has made continual efforts to be good stewards of the environment. Furthermore, Sophia is on target for an 8-percent reduction in energy usage this year vs. this time last year thanks to aggressive efforts to save energy by students and faculty. Twice a week, our conservation committee made up of 5th grade students delivers "energy tips" to each homeroom, kindergarten through 8th grade, to post on its walls. These tips provide simple tasks a student and his or her family could accomplish at home to save energy, such as setting thermostats to 66 degrees in winter, using high efficiency shower heads, and weather-stripping windows and doors. The school hallways are also festooned with signs promoting energy conservation, reducing our carbon footprint, and sustaining our resources. On August 17, 2010, Sophia Academy earned the ENERGY STAR from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for achieving an energy performance score of 84, based on the school's building profile and geographical location. Sophia has also collected all nameplate data of its mechanical equipment, performs scheduled maintenance on these machines, and has set its sights on longer-term goals to become certified under the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC's) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system, which includes categories for sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovation and design. When Sophia was awarded the ENERGY STAR, it was only one of twelve schools in its category state-wide to achieve this designation. Sophia Academy has not only been recognized for its efforts in energy conservation, it has also set up rain barrels--replete with a portrait of Mark Twain--to collect run-off for a sustainable garden, plants a new tree each year for Earth Day on April 22nd (in conjunction with the celebration of William Shakespeare's birthday on April 23rd), and uses public transport as much as possible for field trips. In addition to these accomplishments on the ground, Sophia is also making a point of educating students in the classroom with persuasive essay assignments--in collaboration between the language arts and science departments--on the most efficient, economical, and sustainable renewable energy source. Sophia has also expanded for traditional learners as well in small classes and multisensory instruction. It has the most expansive opportunities for its size including award-winning fine arts, athletics, and academics. The K-9th grade school is a leader in assistive technology, through a partnership with Georgia Tech.
Please note: Narrative information in this profile has been provided by Sophia Academy or a representative of this facility. Other building information was verified and submitted to EPA at the time of application. Building energy performance, operating characteristics, and ownership/management may be subject to change over time.

Do people who boycott Chick Fil A also boycott movies with Scientologists or other scientology-owned businesses?

If I did buy Oreos, I wouldn't stop buying them now. If I didn't buy Oreos, I wouldn't start buying them now.
To be fair and to provide full disclosure, I've been into lower carbs and lower-glycemic food choices, for the vast most part, for many months now. And even a few years before that, the cookies I (we) ate, I baked myself. (The philosophy behind that: If you're going to have a cookie, have a cookie, for goodness sake! And that is the philosophy I will continue to maintain, going forward, by the way.)
However, nothing in my second paragraph in any way takes away from what I said in the first. There is consistency of decades standing therein, and I don't plan on changing in that regard. - 7/4/12, 2:23 AM

And there, ladies and gentlemen, for you utter disgust and repulsion, are the Ann Althouse commenters.
- rcommal said...
Good grief, jimspice, I don't hardly think I'm representative of even any particular subgroup of commenters at Althouse. And goodness knows that the majority of commenters here, much less any subgroup in particular, wouldn't hardly think so either. (Actually, many would of both would firmly NOT think so.)
So, since I know you're not responding to my one, lone, little comment: What, and who, exactly are you talking about? Perhaps you should specify.
That is, unless you're all about the broad-brushing;--you know, "ladies and gentlemen!" showmanship and drama and whatnot. In which case: WTF? How are you different from anyone else? Etc. - 7/4/12, 3:10 AM

Although, on the other hand, you might maybe perhaps be hardily, not to mention heartily, be offering kudos all around, to all and sundry--in which case, I apologize.

I'm curious how you're able to look at the polling data we have and not see it as just a total upcoming rout in favor of marriage equality.
Eventually, and probably sooner rather than later, neuroscience will identify a cure for the psychological defect known as homosexuality. The overwhelming majority of decent parents will have their gay kids cured, and the world can abandon the nonsensical equation of mental illness and normalcy. - 7/4/12, 5:30 AM

On Saint Patrick's Day, yes I get offended. I'm not Irish, but neither was Patrick.
Also I'm surprised with all the corporate sponsers in Pride Parades. I can see local businesses, but national chains???

I don't eat Oreos. I have celiac disease, an allergy to chocolate, and diabetes runs in my family. However, it seems to me that Kraft (and every other company that makes political statements) takes a huge chance on ticking off a certain portion of the market.
I also don't know how much God cares if I buy "sinful" products. I think I'm supposed to love the sinner and hate the sin. Personally, I don't struggle with lust - I've been in a faithful marriage for 20 years - but I do understand that some folks do struggle with it. Laziness and gluttony are my personal struggles among the 7 deadly sins. And ALL of us struggle with at least one of them. It's human nature. - 7/4/12, 7:47 AM

Rusty, I see it as a cultural group keeping their practices authentic without commercial support. Ever been anywhere and think to yourself, that it became to commerrcial?
It is why we may enjoy the local 4th of July parade over Macy's Thanksgiving.
My city hosts many fesitivals for its size, and it is all about supporting the local economy. So to see national chains/brands come in, seems odd.

Just wanted to take a moment to comment that the term "bigot" in this context is tiresome and intellectually lazy. It's not even a real argument. It simply assumes "I'm right, you're wrong" and doesn't bother attempting to understand or engage the other points of view.

Yeah, see. This is where you and i have to differ. My orange irish and English acestors left the old sod and came to America ahead of the revolution and never looked back. My German ancestors left the fatherland ahead of NapoleonIIs conscription and never looked back.Two cultures with a reputation for drinking and fighting.
The best part of both cultures came to this country to get away from their overbearing history.
So no, I don't care if they dye the river green or paint their asses green. Have octoberfest every month. So what?
Nobody came here to preserve their heritage. They came here to make a heritage for their children.

Advertisement According to Square Enix, if you do not log in for online play for over three months, it's possible that the game's server will delete your character data. (No doubt, this is to keep from overworking servers, so in that regard, it might make sense.)If you do not want to shell out for a DQ X online subscription, you can play online for a few hours each day during a predetermined "kid's time".

Low-wage workers across the country are courageously Hard Work, Hard Lives by Oxfam America describes the difficult reality faced by millions of workers in the U.S. A Day's Strike Seeks to Raise Fast-Food Pay by Steven Greenhouse, New York Times, July 31, 2013. Fast-food employees across the country engage in brief strikes in an effort to boost their pay. Fighting Back Against Wretched Wages by Steven Greenhouse, New York Times, July 27, 2013. Workers are organizing for better pay and working conditions; employers push back. Alt Labor by Josh Eidelson, The American Prospect, January 29, 2013. |
The earth is the LORD'S and all that is in it -- Ps 24:1a
You shall love your neighbor as yourself -- Matthew 22:39b
A job should lift everyone out of poverty, not keep them there. But in the U.S. today, fully one-quarter of all jobs pay poverty-level wages. All workers are made in God's image and deserve living wages. Poverty jobs can be changed into life-enhancing jobs if we work to make this happen.
Jesus was a Low-Wage Worker is a resource describing low-wage work, the workers in these jobs, and how we can make low-wage jobs into living-wage ones. Buttons with this statement (in English or Spanish) are also available, see below.
In addition to low pay, these jobs often have other disadvantages:
• few benefits such as health insurance, a pension or retirement plan, or paid sick leave;
• inconvenient hours such as nights, weekends, rotating shifts, or part-time hours;
• these jobs are seldom ladders to better opportunities, they typically have few avenues for advancement;
• the work may be exceptionally dirty or hazardous.
Women and people of color are more likely to hold these jobs than white males.
There are many types of low-wage jobs. They can be found in any industry or occupation. Some of the more common ones are listed just below. Of course, there can also be high paying jobs in these industries and occupations also.
health care: nursing homes, cleaning hospitals
hospitality: cleaning hotel rooms
restaurants and fast food
child care including early childhood education
farm work
meatpacking and poultry processing
retail sales
security guard
Many of these industries are growing rapidly which means the number of low-wage jobs will grow in the future.
Note that much of this work cannot be moved overseas. The jobs performed by these workers -- cleaning, caring for children and elders, selling items to customers -- need to be done in our local communities. If people of faith stand with low-wage workers who are seeking to improve their wages and working conditions, then poverty-wage jobs can be changed into living-wage jobs. Learn more.
Labor unions and a number of worker organizations seek to improve these jobs, bringing workers and people of faith together for a common purpose. Get involved!

Michael Geisen, a middle-school science teacher in Oregon, will spend a year as an international spokesman for education. Transcript of radio broadcast:
This is the VOA Special English Education Report.
A science teacher from Prineville, Oregon, in the Pacific Northwest, is the new National Teacher of the Year.
Michael Geisen is thirty-five years old. He was a forester. But he decided he would rather work with growing minds than with growing trees. Seven years ago, he got a master's degree in teaching and a job at Crook County Middle School. Crook County has high rates of poverty.
He brought new energy to the science department. He also created school projects to get parents involved in their children's work.
One girl who was recently in his class said he could probably make it interesting to watch grass grow.
During lunch, his students come to his room to talk, get help, visit his turtle and sometimes join him in playing guitar. He writes songs and develops games about science. He says one of his goals as a teacher is to create people who will continue to learn throughout their lives.
Michael Geisen studied forest resource management and graduated with high honors from the University of Washington.
He says he tries to be creative with each activity. He does not like to use textbooks much. When students know that the work is local and useful to their lives, he says, they start to get interested.
On June first Michael Geisen will begin a year as a spokesman for education. The father of two young children will travel the country and the world.
The National Teacher of the Year program, a project of the Council of Chief State School Officers, began in nineteen fifty-two. The winner is chosen from among state teachers of the year.
President George Bush honored this year's top teachers at the White House last week. He noted that in Michael Geisen's first two years as head of the science department, scores on a state science test rose sharply at his school. And they are still rising. The president's education reform law, the No Child Left Behind Act, expanded testing as a way to measure results.
But speaking at the White House, the new National Teacher of the Year said children are "not just numbers to be measured."
MICHAEL GEISEN: "Students need to know that we value more than just being right all the time. We need to really honor their creativity. We need to honor their desire to learn useful skills that are going to be relevant to the twenty-first century world.
"These are skills such as innovation and creativity, people-skills like compassion and collaboration and the ability not to just know the details but to really see how it fits into the big picture. This is our real challenge, is to educate the entire child."
And that's the VOA Special English Education Report, written by Nancy Steinbach. I'm Steve Ember.

RIA Novosti's headquarters in downtown Moscow (Photo credit: RIA Novosti)
Two years ago, Russian news agency RIA Novosti (Russian Information Agency News) was awarded national host agency and photo pool rights for the Olympics in Sochi. On Monday, with less than two months before the opening ceremony, President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree to dissolve the state-owned news agency.
According to the head of the presidential administration, Sergey Ivanov, multiple reasons led to the decision, including a planned decrease in funding for state-owned media and the need for increased efficiency in reporting.
Instead, a new agency, named Russia Today, shall be created. It's unknown if the new agency will be related to the English-language TV channel of the same name. Their avowed goals are similar: provide news from Russia to a foreign audience.

Canon x Miharayasuhiro camera case on eBay
The bag was released last year in Hong Kong, coinciding with my purchase of the G10 point and shoot.
Then just yesterday I stumble upon it on eBay. Nobody has bid on it yet. At US$120, the limited edition bag may put off some camera owners. But the price is definitely worth it, judging by the quality of the leather, the beautiful chocolate brown color, and the gold button and buckle hardware. Even the camera strap is well designed.
It looks sturdy, professional, and dandy at the same time.
Of course, I don't expect anything less of Mihara Yasuhiro, who for me, may have had the best menswear collection for Fall 2009.
Such sweet sorrow! I want it, but have decided to let it go.
Mihara Yasuhiro,

More 2012 Crackles & Kleancolor Crackles
I have quite a haul, and a lot of them are crackles =) I went to a new to me beauty supply store & found a whole bunch on nice & cheap polish, so I indulged. A few of the 2012s are from Walgreens, colors that Family Beauty Supply (Broadway & Fremont for my local readers) didn't have, but they were only $2 at the beauty supply compared to $5 at Walgreens, so I got what I could for cheap.
Here's the haul vid - my longest video so far I think, almost a half an hour somehow LOL:
Here are all my new 2012 colors:
Top: You & I, Acid Rain,Mercy Me, Helios, Afterlife, Evolution. Bottom: Extraterrestrial, Tomorrow, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sea of Galilee, Typhoon, Prayer.
Here are the Kleancolor Crack Polishes:
Blue Crackle & Green Crackle.
Here are the NK polishes:
Left to right: Green Apple, Turquoise, Charcoal Navy, After Dark, Metallic Noir.
Here are the Ruby Kisses polishes:
Top: Black Eutopia, Golden Red, Twinkling Mauve, Tropical Green. Bottom: Blue Pearl, Baby Blue, All Purpled Out.
And here are some closer-up pics on the nail wheel swatches - the Kleancolor is a very unique crackle (similar to Kelier if you're a fan of that now HTF brand) if you're patient enough to let it dry, so I also swatched them over white so the pattern was really visible:
And then the 2012s - some of the neons did kind of a weird thing with top coat added ... they look almost ... I don't know, diseased LOL, the orange over black in particular:
Have you picked up any of this 2012 brand? Which colors did you get & what do you think of them?
Thanks for reading =)
Ruby Kisses,
