Ya know the saying, "Pizza. Even when its bad, its still pretty good?" Well, that doesn't apply at all to meatloaf. When its bad, its bad. No two ways about it. @dawsonhull brought up meatloaf Monday and it got me to thinking I haven't done one in awhile. The next day I saw some ground beef on sale and I decided it was time to make some again.
Instead of playing it smart and using a tried and true recipe, I looked for some new ones. I found one that looked to be promising, so I thought I would give it a whirl. Wasn't real sure what the best way to set up the Egg with an AR, still working on figuring that out, but I went 350, stone on the second level (with a drip pan fashioned out of foil), oval grate on the third level. Apple chips for smoke.
Can't believe how red it looks in that picture. Might have been soemthing to do with the flash? Anyway, started basting one of them at the 45 minute mark when it had reached 115ish. Mrs. G didn't want anything on top of hers. I used a half ketchup/half Stubbs bbq sauce with a bit of worsey sauce, some Lousiana hot sauce and a squeeze of lemon.
Finally pulled them at I'm not really sure when. It was after 7:30, but I wasn't paying attention and/or I just forgot. Whenever they reached 160ish.
Kind of a bummer. We just really didn't care for the flavor, although I'm sure the dogs would have happily devoured it. Not gonna post a link to the recipe because they are an internet friend and I don't want to hurt their feelings, nor do I want anybody to try it. I will say the only thing I altered in the recipe was using red onions instead of regular. That was just because I had half of one already cut up that needed to be used. Don't think it seriously affected the flavor much, but I'll use white from now on. And I'll go back to one of our other recipes. Hope everybody else's night cooking went better than ours.
And BTW, the new Photobucket sucks. Maybe I'm just not used to it, maybe I need to switch to somebody else. I don't like it at all.

After permitting a 55-yard punt return and a 79-yard kickoff return in a 17-13 win against the Kansas City Chiefs a week ago, the New Orleans Saints' special teams can expect some close attention from coach Sean Payton and his staff in tonight's preseason game against the Oakland Raiders at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
The Saints emphasized special teams coverage when they returned to practice on Sunday. Against the Chiefs, no one really stood out on special teams, which recorded nine tackles in coverage.
Defensive back Rod Sweeting and linebacker Chris Chamberlain led the unit with two tackles each; defensive back Chris Carr, outside linebacker Eric Martin, long snapper Justin Drescher, wide receiver Jarred Fayson and wide receiver Preston Parker, who caught two touchdown passes, had the remaining tackles.
Backups will either land on or miss the 53-man roster depending on their contributions to special teams coverage.
Elsewhere for the Saints, the competition to replace No. 3 wide receiver candidate Joe Morgan will continue tonight; quarterback Seneca Wallace will see plenty of snaps as he auditions to be the backup to Drew Brees; and a handful of players will have the chance to man the middle positions of the linebacking corps, with weakside inside linebacker Jonathan Vilma having undergone arthroscopic knee surgery and strongside inside linebacker Curtis Lofton missing practice on Thursday.
Wideouts Kenny Stills, Nick Toon, Preston Parker and Andy Tanner spent significant time working with the first-team offense this week. Parker led that group against the Chiefs with four catches for 43 yards and two touchdowns; Toon had four catches for 66 yards; and Tanner had three catches for 59 yards, all with the second team.
Stills lined up with the first team against Kansas City and hauled in a 22-yard pass. However, he fumbled a reverse, dropped a pass and was flagged for offensive pass interference, miscues he vowed to avoid against the Raiders and beyond.
Morgan will miss the season after tearing a meniscus and partially tearing an anterior cruciate ligament at the Black and Gold scrimmage Aug. 3.
Wallace enters tonight's matchup after he missed four days of practice, the scrimmage and the Chiefs game while recovering from a groin strain. He was back full-time this week and will attempt to surpass Luke McCown's 18-for-28, 216-yard and two-touchdown passing performance against the Chiefs.
Wallace is more mobile than McCown, a traditional pocket passer. Wallace said he would resort to that aspect of his game if necessary against Oakland.
Lastly, at the middle linebacker positions, David Hawthorne should be the first up to step in for Vilma, who may reportedly miss at least the rest of the preseason after submitting to a procedure meant to relieve swelling and discomfort he was experiencing in a knee.
Hawthorne arrived in New Orleans last year after four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. He missed five games with a hamstring injury and had just 20 solo tackles.
Ramon Humber, who is penciled in as the backup to Lofton, is expected to see much work at the strongside inside position. He was mostly on special teams with the Saints last year.
Lofton's status was not discussed Thursday. Other inside linebackers on the roster who should play against the Raiders are Kevin Reddick and Will Herring.
Inside linebacker Chamberlain and outside linebackers Junior Galette and Martez Wilson, who've been dealing with injuries and sat out Thursday's practice, are not expected to play.
With Galette and Wilson probably out, Martin, Chase Thomas, Rufus Johnson, Jay Richardson and Baraka Atkins are among those who should get lots of activity against the Raiders.
Atkins and Richardson, who've both been out of the NFL for a few years, did well at practice this week. Atkins had a sack against the Chiefs, and Richardson recovered a fumble.
Check theadvocate.com and tomorrow's edition of The Advocate for much more coverage of the Saints' game against Oakland.

All Jammed UpScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Duffus came home one afternoon to find his wife in the kitchen making homemade jam. She had a few jars on the table, and was attempting to tape the vacuum hose on a lid, when Duffus arrived. "What are you doing, dear?" he asked, confused by the piles of twisted tape that clung to everything in the kitchen. Mrs. Redneck says that vacuum sealing the jars helps keep them fresher and tasting good longer. Duffus laughed as he put a large pot on the stove to heat up, then filled up the sink with water, took the vacuum and tape from his wife and said, "Let me show you how it's done, dear."
How was Duffus planning to vacuum seal the jars?
HintThink what happens when things get hot and when things get cold.
AnswerDuffus took the lids off the jam jars and placed them in the hot water, which caused the jam to expand in the jar. When they were hot, he removed them, put the lids back on and placed them in the cooler water in the sink, which caused the jam to contract. Since the lid was sealed tight, the air pressure inside was less than the pressure outside the jar, which created a sort of vacuum-sealed effect.
What Next?

John Tortorella on staying consistent… "You have to and they (the players) do too. They need to accept the responsibility. When they see they get to a level of play at a pretty consistent manner they have to continue to stay there and also get better I think that's what has happened with a number of our young guys and Brian (Boyle) is leading the way. He continues to try and get better and that's what I like about the club. The foundation continues to mature and continues to try and get better. They have the right attitude about trying to get better each and every night."
Marc Staal on tonight's game… "I thought we did a great job getting back into the game. To tie it up was huge and they throw one on net again and it went in but sometimes that's just the way the game works."
Henrik Lundqvist on players returning from injury… "It's going to be a good feeling to see a lot of guys back when we start again. There are some key guys out. It's always a different feeling when you're missing that many guys, but at the same time we have some guys coming up who have been doing a great job for us. I think we've done a pretty good job. We've been fighting a lot and trying to get points every night."

People who need to recertify as Pork Quality Assurance (PQA) Plus® Advisors and those interested in becoming certified for the first time are invited to consider an upcoming joint session at Iowa State University. The Iowa Pork Industry Center (IPIC) at Iowa State University (ISU) has planned one session of each for April 19 in the Ensminger Room in Kildee Hall on the ISU campus.
James McKean, IPIC associate director and ISU Extension swine veterinarian, said that while spots remain in these sessions, people who want to attend need to act quickly to assure their attendance.
"There is a limit of 30 people for each session, so people need to complete and submit the appropriate form by the April 12 deadline," he said. "Both sessions will be taught simultaneously beginning at 9 a.m. The recertification segment ends at noon and the initial certification session continues to mid-afternoon, with an exam at the end."
Those who are recertifying need to complete the registration form available on the IPIC website and pay the $50 per person fee prior to the session.
People who would like to become certified advisors need to complete and submit that application form. The $75 per person fee is due from approved applicants by the time of the session.
Both forms also are available by mail or fax by calling Sunny Hsu at 515-294-4103.
The sessions will be taught by ISU animal science and veterinary medicine faculty members who are certified PQA Plus trainers.
PQA Plus was developed by the Pork Industry Animal Care Coalition to be a continuous improvement program. The coalition, made up of pork producers, packers/processors, restaurants and food retailers, dedicated itself to finding a food-industry solution that would give confidence to consumers that U.S. pork is produced in a way that respects animal well-being.
PQA Plus merges the food safety and animal well-being concepts of the original PQA program into three steps: individual certification through education, farm site assessment, and the opportunity for project verification that gives customer credibility. For more information on PQA Plus contact the National Pork Board at 800-456-PORK, or go to http://pork.org/Producers/PQAP.aspx?c=PQAP.

Using slides of objects from the exhibition Monks and Merchants: Silk Road Treasures from Northwest China, Gansu and Ningxia, 4th to 7th Century, students will generate word maps that act as creative writing prompts. The archaeological finds from western China act as entry points to introduce students to the rich cultural and artistic exchanges on the Silk Roads. The students first encounter the artifacts through brainstorming through the teacher's oral prompts. The prompts are designed to encourage students to reflect on the cultures and history of the past through their own experiences and knowledge. The resulting words or phrases are used to generate original writing samples. The activity concludes with a discussion of these impressions, then returns to the artifacts' historical, cultural, and artistic contexts.
• Students will analyze slides of artifacts as cultural and social representations of the Silk Road civilizations
• Students will utilize the writing process to create a word map and creative writing sample using standard written language conventions
• Students will appreciate the creativity and craftsmanship of artifacts from ancient history as represented by the Monks and Merchants exhibition
Grade level:
Middle or high school students
Time required:
1 - 2 class periods
• Monks and Merchants website with art images
• pencils
• unlined paper
• Silk Roads map overhead
Students will generate a word map and creative writing sample from the images in the Monks and Merchants slide packet
1. Introduce students to the Gansu and Ningxia (pronounced Gan-soo, Ning-shah) regions of China, showing them on a map where this area is located. Explain that the slides depict artifacts found along the Silk Roads from a time span dating between the 2nd and 7th century CE. Many of the items were excavated in tombs around the region. The artifacts offer a view of life along the Silk Roads in these ancient times through pictures, models and sculptures. Some pieces represent a confluence of cultures, religions, and artistic styles. Consider the pieces as a collection of the treasure trove of artwork celebrating the exchanges across the Silk Roads.
2. Hand out unlined paper and pencil to each student. Explain to them that you will be showing a series of slides. For each slide, you will ask them to jot down responses to a phrase or question. The responses should not be made in a list -- spread them around the paper as a collage of words that can act as a story starter later. Slides could be shown from a few seconds to a minute, it is important for students to write the first ideas that come to mind. Impress on students that there are no "wrong" responses. The word map will act as a writing tool for a story or poem later.
3. Show slides one by one. For each slide read the prompts, allowing at least five seconds for each response. Have students generate word maps as you read the prompts. Do NOT read the descriptions of the artifacts to the students at this time.
4. Ask students to use their word maps to generate a poem or short story based on one or more of the word prompts and the slides that were shown.
5. When students have completed writing, have them share the products with the class.
6. Show students the slides one more time. This time, read the descriptions of the artifacts to the students as they are presented. You may choose to generate more imaginative responses from the students by using both the writing samples and the descriptions of the objects. Highlight the importance of art as representations of life and culture, and how the diversity of artifacts indicate the movement of people and the exchange of goods and ideas on the Silk Roads.

Statement on the District of Columbia, House Voting Rights Act
this important legislation, the district of columbia, house voting rights act is dedined to do one thing enfranchise americans fully with a voting representative in the house of representatives. i have the great honor of TimeCode: 12:34:00.3 representing the great state of maryland. maryland, at the request of the federal government, gave some square miles of its state to our federal government and to TimeCode: 12:34:15.1 the people of america. and at that time there were marylanders living, just a few, but marylanders living within the confines of what was to become the district of columbia. TimeCode: 12:34:30.1 now, this was post 1787 so that the miracle in philadelphia did not contemplate disenfranchising those voters in the various states as my friend from texas mentioned. TimeCode: 12:34:48.7 because the residents that then became because of the generosity of the state of maryland residents of that federal district were then residents of the several states. TimeCode: 12:35:07.0 washington, d.c., is the only capital in a democracy in the world, in the entire world that does not have a voting TimeCode: 12:35:22.9 representative in its parliament. in the world. clearly the successor residents of the district of columbia TimeCode: 12:35:40.0 succeed residents of the several states. TimeCode: 12:35:47.8 the continued disenfranchisement of more than 500,000 americans is unconscionable, indefensible TimeCode: 12:36:00.0 and wrong. since 1801 when washington, d.c. became this nays' capital, the citizens of the district of columbia have not had representation in the congress. not in the house of representatives and not in the TimeCode: 12:36:14.8 senate. it is wrong as a matter of principle because district citizens pay federal taxes, sit on juries and serve in our armed forces like other americans in this body do. TimeCode: 12:36:32.0 and if they move tomorrow to maryland or virginia or texas or california they will be fully enfranchised. they're not second-class citizens. but the area in which they live is being treated as a TimeCode: 12:36:49.3 second-class area. this, the nation's capital. you cannot cite another capital in the world that does that. if they allow any of their voters to be represented in a TimeCode: 12:37:04.5 true democratic institution. it is wrong politically because district citizens since 1801 have effectively been a ward of congress. without the opportunity to make TimeCode: 12:37:19.0 their voice felt on the legislation it affects only them. ironically on this bill, we're going to again have a motion to recommit which affects only the residents of the district of columbia. it is wrong, i suggest to you, morally as well. TimeCode: 12:37:37.2 because the united states professes to have the truest form of representative government in human history. we are proud of that, rightfully so and yet we deprive the citizens of this nation's capital of their voice TimeCode: 12:37:52.1 in their national legislature. let me add the united states is the only representative democracy, as i have said, that does that. the absence of representation in congress for district citizens underscores the TimeCode: 12:38:06.7 failure of the congress to use the authority vested in by the constitution to correct an injustice. i want to say to my friends in this body, so many of you have voted aye on propositions that only recently the supreme court TimeCode: 12:38:24.5 of the united states have said are unconstitutional. you put in language to say, oh, well, it is constitutional because of x, y, and z to try and substitute our judgment for the judgment of the supreme court of the united states. TimeCode: 12:38:39.7 repeatedly you have voted for legislation that the supreme court has said is unconstitutional and you know it. we have spent $379 billion, 3,200 lives and we'll vote tomorrow on a bill that seeks TimeCode: 12:38:55.2 to spend $100 billion more so that the citizens of baghdad, the citizens of baghdad can have a parliament in the citizens of baghdad have a TimeCode: 12:39:10.5 vote. but too many will vote not to give the same right to our sisters and brothers who live in the district of columbia. the authority i refer to for TimeCode: 12:39:30.1 the constitutionality is article 1, section 8 of the constitution, the so-called seat of government clause under which the congress shall have power to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever. TimeCode: 12:39:45.7 exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever. for as i remind you, those residents of the several states or their successors who are now residents of the district of columbia. plain and simple this sweeping TimeCode: 12:40:02.9 language gives congress, quote, extraordinary and plenary powers, to adopt legislation to enfranchise the district's 550,000 americans with a full vote in this house. TimeCode: 12:40:19.1 i'm far from alone in my view of article 1, section 8. 25 legal scholars which have just been entered into the record make that assertion. and as the chairman of the committee, i'm not used to TimeCode: 12:40:37.2 quoting kenneth starr. i quote kenneth starr, not as the supreme expert, but TimeCode: 12:40:44.2 certainly as not a partisan of my party. in fact, i would remind every member of this house this bill was reported out of the republican chaired, republican majority government reform committee just last congress. TimeCode: 12:40:59.8 mr. davis is a co-sponsor. not only a republican leader, wu the chairman, former chairman of a committee and former chairman of the republican congressional campaign committee. not just a back bencher, but a leader in the party who said TimeCode: 12:41:15.8 this is constitutional, but in any event, it is the right thing to do. mr. starr's tightly reasoned testimony before the house government reform committee in 2004 in favor of the substance of today's measured should be TimeCode: 12:41:31.1 required reading for every member of the body who believes this somehow may be a partisan vote, in fact, as has been mentioned we give to utah as well as has been historical practice to do two at a time, TimeCode: 12:41:47.2 as we did alaska and hawaii. that doesn't unusually enfranchise, i would suggest, utah voters. i come from a state that had an at-large representative for most of the 1960's. his name is carlton sickles, TimeCode: 12:42:03.8 one of my predecessors, lived in the county where i grew up. yes, before rental v. simms and baker v. car. that was for state purposes. some of you may have served TimeCode: 12:42:21.6 with him. we, the members of the house must never be seduced into thinking there is such a thing as settled in justice. hear me. settled in justice. TimeCode: 12:42:38.1 -- settled injustice. the author of the dred scott legislation was a marylander. that was the constitutional TimeCode: 12:42:50.4 law. it was wrong. it was wrong legally. it was wrong ethically. and it was certainly wrong morally. it is time, my friend in this body, today, to stand up, speak out for democracy and justice TimeCode: 12:43:08.5 for our fellow americans if we can fight for democracy in baghdad, we can vote for democracy in washington, d.c.

BFI earmarks $1.6m for co-productions
Isabel Davis, the British Film Institute's head of international, is in Berlin spreading the word about the BFI Film Fund's increased commitment to funding co-productions.
From April, the institute will earmark $1.6m (£1m) of its $28m (£18m) annual Film Fund to back co-productions.
"We want to engage with producers to tell them that the UK is the partner of choice to scale up and reach international audiences. Our producers are experienced working internationally," Davis told Screen.
Applications for the funding will be open from April, and Davis says that backed projects will "be more market-focused".
Projects will need to be British qualifying - not necessarily shooting in the UK but with significant UK creative elements.
"There is the attitude that is a hangover from the sale-and-leaseback era that it's complex to work with the UK, but that has all been simplified," she noted.
"And people think we're expensive, but that's also from the old days."

Greetings from Philly. Thanks again to Josh for minding the store last night.<img src="http://mets.lohudblogs.com/files/2008/04/images.jpeg" align="right" height="132″ width="133″ />
Nothing is ever easy for the Mets. Johan Santana was superb, but a three-run homer given up by Aaron Heilman made you realize how tough this is going to be. If you're across the world or just couldn't sleep and want to add something, please do. Will talk with you tomorrow.
Johan Santana showed what all the fuss is about with 10 strikeouts in seven innings. Don't you feel foolish booing him now?
Manager Willie Randolph on Santana: "It's what we are looking for from him. We expect him to do that kind of stuff.''
Aaron Heilman on his troubles in Philly: "I'm certainly aware of the history." That would be ten earned runs in 9 2/3 innings.
Johan Santana on what worked tonight: "The whole key is my fastball. I was able to locate my fastball and we attacked them.''
Jose Reyes on sliding into Chase Utley's knee: "I went to space for a little bit."
GAME ANALYSIS (Mets 6, Philadelphia 4)
1st INNING: Always important to get on the board first. David Wright doubled in Ryan Church. Two strikeouts for Santana. Mets 1, Philadelphia 0.
2nd INNING: Santana breezed through the second. Highlight so far is the guy sitting below the press box who caught a foul ball with his left hand while holding a beer in his right. Without spilling a drop.
3rd INNING: Jose Reyes clocked on the steal of second by Chase Utley's knee, but it was a clean play. Mets 2, Philadelphia 0.
4th INNING: Eight strikeouts by Santana.
8th INNING: Mets gave Santana some cushion in the top of the inning. Will Willie let Santana try for the complete game? Mets 5, Philadelphia 1.
TOP OF THE NINTH: Guess not on the complete game. Not a good year so far for Aaron Heilman. Mets 5, Philadelphia 4.

Remembering to forget
War anniversary journey an important step for local veterans
Saturday, Jun 07, 2014 06:00 am
On June 6, St. Albert residents Bill and Marge Opitz were to be part of a flotilla of buses that was scheduled to visit Juno Beach to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landing in Normandy, France.
The couple has made similar journeys many times before. They do it because Bill has found it�s the only way he can ease the painful memories of war.
Bill, 90, and his wife Marge, 86, both served in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War.
In the early hours of June 6, 1944, Bill was in the engine room of the HMCS Bayfield, which was part of the 31st Flotilla of Canadian minesweepers.
�My job was lead stoker on the minesweeper HMCS Bayfield � sweeping mines along the French coastline to enable the Allied troops to get to the beaches of Normandy,� Bill said.
The Bayfield was one of 14 Canadian sweepers that swept 60 kilometres of coast in pitch blackness. They cleared the way for the troop ships that followed and, though they were within 1.5 miles of the French shore, they received no enemy fire.
�The Canadians and Norwegians had the minesweeping job. We made two sweeps from Utah Beach, to Omaha, to Gold Beach, Juno and Sword Beach. The minesweepers were there first before the invasion,� Bill said.
The ship was steam-powered to reduce the noise and it had no lights. By 4 a.m., cloud cover protected the sweepers as they crept silently through the water to cut the mines loose. To prevent the sound of the explosions from alerting the Germans on shore, the devices were not detonated. Instead, the mines were cut and allowed to drift free.
While Bill was on the Bayfield, Marge was in Halifax. Though they were already engaged to be married, Marge had no way of knowing what was happening to Bill on D-Day.
�That day I was working in the kitchen,� she said.
They are remarkably agile for their age and live in their own townhouse/condo in Erin Ridge. Still, they�ve enlisted help for this trip, the first time they�ve done so � their daughter and son-in-law will go with them. Marge has not been well in recent months and Bill needs a stair-lift now to get to and from to his basement.
�It will be a hard trip. It�s never easy. It�s very emotional. It�s always hard but this time it will be harder,� said Marge.
On the 60th anniversary of D-Day, an Associated Press photographer shot a photo of Bill as he wiped tears from his eyes as he walked along Juno Beach. This year Bill will need a walker or perhaps a wheelchair but he and Marge, his wife of 68 years, will be there and they will be there together.
Bill believes that for the past 70 years he�s suffered from post traumatic stress. He�s had nightmares every night.
�It�s locked in your mind. I�ve improved. I can talk about it now, but I never talked to the kids about it. I think going back to the source helped me,� he said.
Hard times
Bill was 17 in 1942 when he lied about his age and joined the navy, but he�d already had a tough life growing up in the Depression and riding the rails looking for work.
Conditions on the Bayfield were hard, with little more than bully beef and hardtack for meals. The men slept in a crowded space with hammocks slung across one another. He served on the ship for 27 months.
�It stank. It was hard to live,� Bill said.
On June 6, 1944, as the troop ships came in, the Bayfield was posted a few miles offshore.
�They didn�t figure they�d make it. We were supposed to pick up survivors if need be.�
So, their sweeping duties completed for the time being, Bill sat and watched the war. Using a small Brownie camera, he took photos. In some ways, the helpless horror of watching � almost as a bystander � was the hardest. There was absolutely nothing he could do.
�There was a solid line of ships � 60 miles long. I saw the carnage, the destruction and the spilled blood in the waters.�
Bill is still haunted by memories of the noise and the flak explosions, especially the scene he remembers of planes being shot down.
�You knew � there would be a ball of flame � they were going down. You�ve never seen fireworks like what I saw. It never leaves you,� he said.
He remembered that two friends, who perhaps felt a similar helplessness, left the Bayfield and swam ashore.
�They shouldn�t have left the ship,� he said, adding that though both survived, they were badly injured and disfigured.
When he and Marge visit the graves of fallen Canadian soldiers this weekend, he will remember those men but also boyhood friends from the Stettler area, where he grew up.
He�ll remember his own experiences too, including later days during that summer of 1944, when a torpedo was shot between the Bayfield�s anchor and the ship. Or the way it felt down in the engine room when they hit a mine.
�When you hit a mine, it lifted the ship right out of the water and the noise reverberated down in the engine room like you wouldn�t believe.�
He and Marge were married in October of 1945, 10 days after he returned from overseas and was discharged. They have four children and many grandchildren and the family photos are proudly displayed in their St. Albert home.
For the most part, Bill�s war mementoes are tucked away, even though D-Day memories have been right in the front of his mind almost every day for 70 years.
�My visit to the 60th anniversary celebration at Juno was an extremely sad reminder to me of all who died there and on the other beaches of Normandy that day so many years ago. For those of us who survived, the memory is etched in our minds and hearts forever,� Bill said.
�I have to go back. I go back so I can forget.�

Dear All, I am developing a C# application. So for my crystal report I need to choose a paper size. The problem here is that I want my data column which to appear on my report to be dynamic and I want them to appear dynamically. But due to the paper size restriction I cant go further is there any solution? Thank you.
More like you having a issue placing the column in your report, can you attach a partial screenshot of your report to see what you trying to do?
Dear Lyph, My requirement is simple just say I got a list of employee. So my column will be each employee name and row will be employee sales data. So when in my C# application I am crystal report to show my report. So in this case when I select a particular paper size it becomes a stopping point for me. How can I overcome this problem ?
If you have say 3 different paper sizes for printing, I would create 3 different crystal reports and dynamically load the crystal report base on paper selection.
Dear Lyn, So mean that you want my user to select the report based on the paper size options is it. The paper size is also depend on the printer I select. Meaning that in windows application based the paper size is a constraint unlike web based the column is not limited rite? Thank you.
Yes, if you creating the report for website for viewing only, then you can create any size. Only thing you have to consider is when its come to printing.
Dear Lphy, The problem here I am creating a windows application based on C#. So I am not creating a web base application that is the problem here. So what is the best solution you will suggest for my scenario? I also want the column to appear dynamically meaning that I will have an option say I got 10 employee. I select 5 then only 5 column should appear. How can I do this for crystal report for windows application.
I am little confused about the design you talking about, usually variation parameter should be consider as Rows, Columns should be fixed.
Cannt you change the way you create your report, if you getting varying number of employees, i think its better to design that it should fall as Rows
For example
Name Hours Worked Hourly Pay Total
Employee1 35 $17.00 $595.00
Employee1 42 $18.00 $756.00
Like over here, you can change any number of employees but the coulms are fixed.
Dear Lphy, Sorry for the confusion here. Ok my design will be like this. Each date will show the total sales made by each employee. So any suggestion you have or any idea to solve my problem. Thank you.
Date Employee1 Employee2 Employee3
12/1/09 $200 $500 $60013/1/09 $560 $400 $700
I think you need to change the way you design your crystal report
If you want to get the total sales for for each day, group by your query with date and show something like this
Date - 10/Apr/2009
Employee 1 $500
Employee 2 $550
Employee 3 $600
Sub Total $xxxx
Date - 12/Apr/2009
Employee 1 $450
Employee 2 $650
Employee 3 $550
Sub Total $xxxx
(footer)Gran Total $xxxxx
If you want to get the total sales for for employee, group by your query with employee and show something like this
Employee - Employee 1
10/Apr/2009 $500
11/Apr/2009 $550
12/Apr/2009 $600
Sub Total $xxxx
Employee - Employee 2
10/Apr/2009 $500
11/Apr/2009 $550
12/Apr/2009 $600
Sub Total $xxxx
(footer)Gran Total $xxxxx
Dear Lphy, Thank you for your idea. Yes I agree your method is good the problem is that if I maintain as my earlier method it gives a me clearer view when I need to compare each employee against each day I mean the tabular format. Thank you.
I think the way basic crystal report design is to keep the columns fixed and maintain rows according to the query. If you want dynamically change number of columns and data at runtime, check this project
I would consider generating a Excel work sheet using C# for your case, its much easier.
Dear Lphy, Yes the excel idea will be great too. Can you teach me how to generate an excel sheet then? Thank you.
There are many ways to do that, I think easiest way is to generate a regular text base HTML string and save it with Excel file extension (.xls)

Date
Employee 1
Employee 2
Employee 3
Employee 4
You can generate above HTML string using C# and then save it as a text file with Excel extension. Then you can open it from Excel
Dear Lphy, I am working on a windows application and not web base application. So I dont think so I can run html codes rite? Thank you.
You can, you can generate any kind of data and save it to disk, it doesnt matter you doing a Desktop application or ASP .Net. Both use the similar method
Dear Lphy, So how will I generate from my C# code an excel document then off course I need to build the columns and rows too right ? Thank you.
I found this article in GoogleExport Sql Table to Excel for Windows Applicationhttp://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/922-Export-Sql-Table-Excel-for-Windows-Application.aspx
Search in google, you will able to find lot of example generating EXcel in C#
Dear Lphy, Thank you very much for your time. I will look further and incase I got stuck then will get back to you.
Here is another tool might help you to play with dynamic data with crystal reporthttp://www.digitalcoding.com/free-software/database/Crystal-Report-Preview-tool.html

Topic: liver mets with encephalopathy
My Dad is on hospice at home for cc. He is becoming increasingly paranoid, yelling & swearing about things; My sister is with him now, I will be going at the end of the week. His new take today was to call an ambulance and wait outside of a hospital until he gets a liver transplant. He has a large tumor on the liver with several small ones. Chemo did not shrink the tumor, so he would not be eligible. He is also talking about other things that will not happen and if not agreed with he becomes agitated. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

The technology made and shown is used in a way that doesn't make you go "Huh, how would we use it?" more "When will it be made?" which is such an important thing to get down. Waldo for me failed to execute properly on the latter because we already have character-led satire. It permeates...well, almost all satirical comedy. So it needed to extrapolate it onto a society-wide level that enough people could get behind without being cynical of or out-right disliking it.
I actually think there's an intentional mirror to the sets of episodes. Be Right Back and The Entire History of You follow a similar premise, with the invention of a technology that changes our behaviour and gives a specific example of how in one person's case, it breaks them. The middle two, White Bear and Fifteen Million Merits, look at a specific phenomenon(s) and take it to a logical conclusion with a relevant context. The National Anthem and The Waldo Moment (for me the weakest two episodes) do a sort of "What if?" at an obsession we have in society and culture; in the former it's of the influence of the internet and how ingrained we are to distance from a matter, whilst in the latter its a similar message of the power of anonymity and a belief that the political players are not in-tune with the public, or carry a message that the public wants to listen to. Or something like that.Quote:
Regarding 'Be Right Back', I felt it jumped the shark when the android entered the scene. It occurs to me that 'BRB' and 'The Entire History of You' (the two episodes you mentioned) focus on the interpersonal consequences of technology whereas the other four episodes operate on a broader societal level.
I'm interested to see what is done next with Black Mirror as I imagine there'll be more. I fully expect they'll carry on a theme of "Extended to society", "What if?" and "New technology".
And on a different note, just watching through some DVD collections. Archer, season 3, was enjoyable but I felt lacking a little bit. I think that's me though. I've never been completely in love with Archer like it seems a lot of the fans are, with a few episodes going by without me raucously laughing away and whilst I don't expect that, they can sometimes feel a little flat. I know season 5 is changing things up so maybe they were just running a little low, but I did expect a little bit more. The Burt Reynolds episode was great though.
Also for season 3, Community. So far half-way through and I've been immensely enjoying it. I was a little soured at the end of season 2 with its double paint-ball special (which went from fantastic in the western setting to highly disappointing in the shift to the Star Wars parody) but nowhere near enough to stop watching. Anyhow, there's been some great moments and it remains highly enjoyable to watch. Remedial Chaos Theory gets a particular mention with the insane number of events that happen in that scenario and more recently, the episode where they dress up as celebrities was great to see everyone throwing themselves at Winger (particular laugh-out-loud moment goes to the Dean, upon seeing Winger with glasses on, just instantly falls to the floor). Oh, the Christmas episode wasn't bad. I thought the shots at Glee felt a bit overly forced initially, but it rounded it out well and Alison Brie's sketch was hilarious. I'd love to know who exactly was singing through that episode. Obviously Donald Glover is the easy one to know he was rapping.
Gosh, as for returning TV, I'm undecided if I want to carry on watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The former was "Eh, it's alright, I suppose" whist the latter, well, I think we know. I might just skip Agents and see if response to a second season are better, or at least later episodes this one. As for Brooklyn, I think I might just give it up. It's not really doing much for me other than taking up time, which I could spend, say, actually getting round to watching season 2 of Twin Peaks.
The last Sherlock episode is terrible. Had to shut it off after an hour. Mary is good as a comedic character but this episode shows she was miscast. The mind palace scenes are embarrassing, the DRAMA is so, so overdone... At least I won't spend two years being hyped for the next season.
The Walking Dead
Trust me -- they have a new showrunner for season 4 and the payoff is worth the wait.Quote:
season 3 has major problems with suspension of disbelief.
I really hope with that final twist in Sherlock that they're going down the route of Sherlock having faked Moriarty's return to get himself out of a jam, and play with the whole notion of Sherlock effectively creating his own nemesis to give him something to do. It'd let the show go somewhere interesting again.
I think the point of the episode is to warn against 'protest' politics that don't accomplish anything. People were attracted to Waldo because he voiced their discontent with The System, but he never offers any alternative. Worse, by channeling all this discontent in an ultimately useless and non-threatening direction, Waldo actually ends up reinforcing the status quo: people disengage from real politics and the co-option of democracy by monied interests continues apace. That's what the guy from the American 'Agency' showing up was about: the PTB thinking "hey, we can use this..." We see something similar in 'Fifteen Million Merits' where Bing is ultimately co-opted by the system he sought to protest against.
Archer - 5x01 - White Elephant
A fun opening minute in an episode that proved to be mostly set-up for the rest of the season. I knew they were going to be dramatically shaking things up but I wasn't expecting to see Brett get killed. Shot yes, but not in the head. The completely new direction looks fun though, and I'm optimistic for it. And is it just me or did the animation seem a little more fluid than in previous seasons?
Lana: "Like FIFTY TIMES I asked you about that!" Mallory: "And like fifty times I lied."
Mallory: "I think I'll start shopping my memoires. How does the title 'Secrets & Silk' grab you?" Archer: "Tightly. By my childhoods' throat."
Almost Human - 1x08 - You Are Here
Interesting take on the Magic Bullet in this one. There's something really disturbing about the whole idea of personalised advertisement software allowing you to be being tracked by a bullet from a mile away. It's almost as if they've combined peoples' fears about online privacy and a future version of drone strikes into one plot.
I don't think I'll ever get tired of Kennex suddenly destroying MX units.
Police drone: "Thank you for your co-operation. And remember: Hugs, not drugs."
Rudy: "Does this in any way, even tangentially, involve sex-bots?"
Enlisted - 1x01 - Pilot
New comedy pilot about a US army unit of, shall we say, less than stellar ability. I enjoyed this in the sense that it gave me a Scrubs sort of vibe, but with soldiers rather than doctors. It wasn't exactly laugh out loud funny, but it was in no way terrible. And it's got Captain Anderson himself, Keith David.
Here's the first trailer for Game of Thrones S4 in case anyone hasn't seen it:
Daario was recast :/
The Mountain too, but that's becoming tradition!
The Mountain I can understand given lack of lines, but a bit bold recasting Daario who has featured so prominantly, and to someone who looks so different.
Saying that original Daario was pretty damn wooden as an actor. They needed a better actor.
The whole episode was build-up to the next thing happening which was the build-up to the thing after that until the rather obvious ending, I thought. You either have the gun you brought with you or the police/secret service. No-one is surviving the incident without being shot, c'mon. The interest was what would happen after the fact and it's not like they were going to keep him out of the country given that in the previous finale they blooming 'killed' him. The whole thing felt very devoid of energy. The most interesting part was the most insane part, Sherlock's mind processing being shot, a sequence that lasted way too long.
I didn't not like the episode, but I hardly like it. There seems to be the need for one bad egg a series. This was this one. It just had too much guff. I'll give it credit for openly mocking Murdoch though, so it has that at least in its favour.
EDIT: Oh, and that reminds me, the BBC need to get some better sound mixers because god damn if it isn't hard to hear what people are saying at times.
In contrast, Fifteen Million Merits works because it just needed to affect one person, Bing himself. There's a self-awareness too that he's being allowed to do this and you can see the resentment, practically feel it coming through the screen, as you watch the finale. He basically just wanted his voice to be heard, but I don't think he realistically expected anything to come from it. He was almost blind-sided by the actual invitation to then keep on doing what he was doing in controlled opposition.
Even if that summation is wrong, the fact that it was a personal story meant that it's more open to personal weakness. One person being co-opted given the circumstances that led them there? Utterly believable. An entire nation, nay, the world? Not at all. I don't at all disagree with your general point, however. I also actually thought the coda was going to be a teaser for the next series, which probably would've left the story on a better note.
Elementary is very, very entertaining. Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu have fantastic chemistry. When Rhys Ifans shows up as Mycroft Holmes I was amazed at how well he could pull off an English accent.
I've heard decent things about Elementary. A couple of friends have watched it, describe it as a very much thing-of-the-week, but on a slightly higher intellectual level. Might be worth a watch, but I don't know of anyone who has described it as better than Sherlock.
Finished watching Community season 3 on DVD and on the whole, it was good. I thought the last few episodes were really teetering on the edge, but I'll let the finale off for it being potentially the last episode and needing to tie up some things. I was actually really let down by the video game episode which, whilst obviously fantastically novel in concept, I didn't think at all translated well to watching. I'm now left to contemplate whether or not next year I'll be getting season 4 on DVD, or waiting another year and starting up again from 5, thus proving there can be some usefulness out of waiting to watch stuff.
I'm surprised that no one mentioned True Detective yet. First episode is actually awesome. Whole thing have strong mood, it's based mostly on dialogues and it have Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey as main characters. They're both bloody brilliant here, especially McConaughey, this could be his greatest role ever.
If you like really good shows (I mean really, really good, The Wire, Breaking Bad etc. good) you should go watch it right now.
Talking of cop shows Justified is back \o/. Though Raylan Givens would refute the idea that he's technically a cop being a federal marshal and all. But he still gets to carry a gun and shoot fools legally.

Applying the SAMR model into education
We know when we have achieved successful technology integration: it is when we use technology without even thinking about it.
Adobe tools have sometimes seemed quite exclusive, solely for industry professionals. The need for teachers to up-skill has always seemed quite low on the priority list. The very hurdle of learning how to use the software can stand in the way of using the software to enhance learning. At my school Photoshop is only used in the Advanced IT course. Why is that?
I think Adobe have responded with new tools like Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements and Muse. I am very pleased at the high uptake from my teaching colleagues and students alike. With minimal training and support I am beginning to see teachers integrating these tools into their daily workflows. As adoption of these tools increases it is evident that Adobe can go beyond enhancing learning.
Borrowed from an expert called Dr Rueben Puentedura the term "Transformation" as a result of technology adoption, is a stage you want to aim for in your journey of successful technology integration.
The SAMR model.
Dr Rueben Puentedura hit on a model which you should be familiar with. The SAMR model is a system which you can use to measure your application of technology, or it's level of use.
The first level is the lowest level of use: Substitution.
Technology acts as a direct tool substitute with no functional changes. A common example is a type-writer being exchanged for a word-processor (albeit with a screen) and being used in exactly the same way. No cut and paste, no spell check, just direct substitution.
The second level is: Augmentation
At this level you are using the same tool with some functional improvement. Improvements may include the spell check or instant dictionary definition, cut/paste and placement of images etc. Already at this secondary stage we are seeing a much higher level of productivity from the individual.
The third level is: Modification
This level actually slightly alters (but doesn't change) the task at hand. For example, beforehand your type-writer was being used to produce a text report. But now we have additional technology tools available, we could create the report in a spreadsheet. This would allow you to automatically calculate sums and create graphs for immediate visualisation of the information. We may choose to email the spreadsheet to colleagues instead of print it. Our report (previously a fixed paper document) has now seen significant task redesign. This results in substantial productivity increase.
The fourth level is known as: Redefinition.
At this level, we look beyond ways of just modifying the process **which still has the fundamental task at its heart**. Is this the best way to perform the task? The Redefinition level will use available technology to completely redesign tasks.
We are no longer producing a simple report. Information that would original have been compiled by an individual could now involve many contributors; collaborating in real time on the same document. An example might be to use a public document on Google Docs allowing for instant global collaboration on the project. The project could include photographs, graphics, even video, added from many different devices. Spreadsheet calculations will cascade through a document and be available for all decision makers in a moment. Immediately the task has seen the removal of multiple steps, and many more users are viewing and editing the document, increasing communication, accuracy, and productivity.
Applying this model into education is having astounding results. It is a fairly simple idea but one which has really helped me to evaluate where I am at, and what I could be achieving.
I would add that task redefinition can also remove constraints that may have existed before but were not addressed. At redefinition the task and its outcomes are clearer, the technology becomes invisible and the learning at hand takes priority.
With tools like Captivate and Adobe Connect it is very clear to see how Adobe are not only enhancing teaching practices but truly transforming tasks.
I encourage you to visit Dr Rueben Puentedura's blog at www.hippasus.com to discover more.

The Devil and the MonkSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
The Devil, on a soul quest, came across an elder Monk with a reputation for soul saving. But this man of the cloth also had a stronger local reputation for fine wines and a game of chance now and then. The Monk's soul saving in this province was of note down below and the Devil himself was here to deal with this monk.
The Devil found the Monk at work on a roasted leg of mutton and nearly empty bottle of extremely fine brandy after vespers. Introductions were made when the Devil produced an even finer, dusty bottle of Cognac. The two talked and argued past the curfew bell, night prayer and even past the toiling for morning prayers. The Monk noticed early on that this bottle of especially fine brandy never emptied. Cup after cup of this heavenly smooth spirit flowed from this one bottle. Knowing of devil trickery was one thing, but there was no denying the rich spirited taste of this fine ambrosia. "If only the rivers in Heaven flowed so smoothly", thought the Monk.
And for his part, giving the Devil his due, the Devil knew he now could tempt the Monk.
"A simple wager, Monk; find a task that I cannot do that any of your poor, humble mass of morality can perform and this very bottle is yours."
"And if you can then..."
"Yes old man, your soul is mine."
The Monk thought deeply, then drank one last time from this never emptying bottle, for courage, rose and took the Devil's hand in a solemn pledge and agreed.
A bit surprised but delighted, the Devil had to boast, "I am stronger, faster, and smarter than any mortal. I can go anywhere and return in the blink of an eye. I have seen all and know everything. There are no secrets that I don't know, no places or things that I cannot find. There is nothing that I can't do, or nothing I can't be, that your common mortals can. Your wager is lost, and I'll gladly take it old Monk. But know this; my death and salvation long ago were decided."
"Fear not, Devil, Heaven nor I wish your soul; nor wish you to simply return from which you came. That would be too simple. Now, if I heard you correctly, you can go any place?"
"Any place, Monk; even to end of the universe and return. There is nothing I can't do!"
However, the Monk did give the Devil a task that he could not do; a task that mortals often perform. What was the task?
HintNo emotions were necessary for this task.
AnswerThe Monk told the Devil to 'get lost'. And, in case you're wondering, it was said that, many years later, the bottle was laid to rest with the Monk.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/8/2014 (1101 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg police homicide unit is investigating after crews pulled a body from the river at the Alexander docks Sunday.
Witness accounts and the continued presence of police divers here indicate the body is not the same man authorities have been looking for over the past two days.
Several people said police pulled out a tightly wrapped bundle that appeared to be a body. Witnesses also said a man and his son walking their dogs on the riverbank near the north end of the docks made the grisly discovery about 1:30 p.m.
The man and his son were seen making a phone call and leaving the scene immediately afterward. Within minutes of the call, police and fire crews had arrived on the scene, witnesses said, and the pair returned to speak to police.
"We were just walking along the river and we saw this body sticking out of the water," the father told reporters before driving away from the docks.
Police issued a news release around 3:30 p.m. to confirm they'd recovered a body and that the homicide unit is investigating. The release said no further information is available.
Police dive teams had been searching this area of the Red River since Friday, looking for an unidentified man who was seen struggling in the water that afternoon.

Topic: CA 19-9
My 1 1/2 yr post resection scan was in October and it was clean. My next scan is not until April. My oncologist ordered me blood work at the half way point between scans. My Ca 19-9 was only 17!! That is the lowest it has ever been.
I know the ca 19-9 isn't definitive, but I'll take the low result. 3 months ago it was 27.
God is good. And it is my 7 yr anniversary today!! What a great gift!
Take care!

VCU Sweeps Liberty, 3-0
In a matchup of Commonwealth rivals, VCU posted a 3-0 sweep (25-19, 25-11, 25-15) over Liberty, Friday at Kentucky's Memorial Coliseum.
The Rams (4-0) hit .544 as a team, winning match one of the Kentucky Classic. The Lady Flames' record dips to 1-4 on the season, as Liberty connected at a .069 pace. VCU also held a 3-0 lead in blocks, 6-3 in aces and 30-19 in digs.
VCU sophomore Romana Kriskova hit .833 in scoring 21 kills, and also served up four aces. Sophomore Kalah Jones (.765) tacked on 14 kills. Cecilia Aragao, a junior, dished out a match-high 40 assists, and junior Amanda Love led all players with 30 digs.
The Lady Flames were led in kills by junior Melissa Racz and freshman Nzea McQuitery, with five each. Seniors Lillie Happel and Jade Craycraft tied for the team lead with six digs each, while Happel had two aces. Happel's two kills leave her 12 away from 1,000 for her career.
VCU won set one, 25-19, recording a .516 hitting percentage while getting eight kills from Kriskova and seven from Jones. With Liberty trailing, 14-11, Susan Babcock sent down a kill to slice the deficit to two points. After the Rams built a pair of five-point leads, the Lady Flames got to within 20-17 when Happel fashioned a kill, before VCU closed strongly to the finish. McQuitery and Babcock both recorded three set-one kills for the Lady Flames, who hit .143 as a team.
The Rams led the second set from start to finish, outscoring the Lady Flames, 18-6, over the final 24 serves on the way to a 25-11 set victory and a 2-0 match lead. VCU continued its offensive proficiency, hitting .500 for the set, while the Lady Flames recorded four kills and hit negative. Kriskova recorded five kills on as many attempts and added two blocks.
After a tightly-contested early portion of set three, during which VCU led 13-11, the Rams pulled away for a 25-15, match-clinching victory. VCU hit a match-high .600 during the final set, recording 20 kills, while Liberty tallied eight kills at a .231 pace. Kriskova scored eight kills in addition to three aces in set three, while Racz contributed three kills for the Lady Flames.
The Lady Flames return to the court at 5 p.m., when they will compete against defending Atlantic Sun champion East Tennessee State.

Unofficially, the playoffs start on Sunday for the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers.
Sure, border state bragging rights are on the line again in the regular-season finale. Another rushing title is within the grasp of Minnesota's Adrian Peterson. Aaron Rodgers has one more shot to tune up the sluggish Green Bay offense.
This is all overshadowed, naturally, by a bigger priority for both teams: The winner claims the NFC North title and the right to host a home playoff game the following weekend.
"We haven't had the same type of stats that we've had in years past, but we've rattled off 10 wins, another playoff berth," Rodgers said. "At this point, it's all about winning games and making a run in the playoffs."
That's something the Packers (10-5) are used to doing. Even with all their issues on offense — from injuries to the inconsistencies with both the run and pass — they can still win a fifth straight division title.
The upstart Vikings (10-5) want to end that reign in the game that was switched to prime time. They're looking for their first NFC North crown since 2009.
"It would be great, but we have to go out there and prove it. We can't talk about it," quarterback Teddy Bridgewater said.
They're on a pretty good run heading into Lambeau Field, having beaten the Bears and Giants at home in their previous two games by a combined score of 87-34. Before those two games, they lost 23-20 at Arizona, the same team that blew out the Packers last weekend, 38-8.
Bridgewater has been a difference maker with a 123.2 passer rating in that three-game stretch. The Vikings have bounced back since an embarrassing 38-7 loss at home to Seattle on Dec. 6.
"Yeah, it's definitely a different team," Bridgewater said. "It's a group of guys that don't want another Seattle performance to happen again."
The Packers are also 2-1 over their last three games, but their last game might have been their "Seattle moment" after getting bullied by Arizona.
"We've got to put that one behind us," receiver James Jones said. "We're on to Minnesota and let's get on playing some football."

BOLTON Atlantic Challenge rower Mark Brocklehurst has revealed that his inspiration to get him through the epic 3,000 mile journey to Antigua was Nepal plane crash victim Vincent Kelly.
Mr Kelly was supposed to be in the four-man crew but tragically died along with six other British men who were due to climb Everest — but Mr Brocklehurst remembered his best friend as he rowed by reciting his motto: "adapt and overcome."
Mr Brocklehurst, aged 52, along with Matt Nuttall, aged 44, Nick Griffiths, aged 42, and Finn Christo, aged 32, reached their destination on Sunday after a gruelling eight week voyage across the Atlantic.
Mr Brocklehurst, his wife Tracey, aged 50, and their nine-year-old son Tom, touched down in Manchester Airport yesterday morning after an emotional reunion last week.
Mr Brocklehurst said: "Vinny was was supposed to be doing this with us from the beginning. So when the plane crashed I not only lost my rowing partner but my best friend.
"His motto was 'adapt and overcome' and I had that written in front of me on the boat so when I was rowing I could recite it to myself. That's exactly what we had to do throughout the trip.
"I thought about him each night. He was my inspiration."
The four men took on the challenge to raise £250,000 to aid a Junior Mentoring Project for Bolton Lads and Girls Club.
Mr Brocklehurst said: "I am really glad we've done it. I'm not going to lie – it was horrendous at times, but it was worth it for the club.
"I have great memories of the beginning and the end. The horror of it all is starting to ease."
Mrs Brocklehurst added: "Going out to Antigua to meet Mark has ended this story. I wasn't looking forward to it at first, but Mark's sisters came too, so it was like a family holiday. We really got into watching all the boats coming in — we were like rower groupies.
"When Mark came in it was amazing. I'm so proud of him."
As reported by The Bolton News on Thursday, Mr Christo is back with his family including his pregnant wife Lei, and Matt and Nick were due into Gatwick later on after having their passports stolen.

Tai Chi Ball Qigong — For Health and Martial Arts: Book Tai Chi Ball Qigong
For Health and Martial Arts
Tai Chi Ball training used to be common practice in both external and internal martial arts. Unfortunately, due to its secrecy, fewer and fewer people have learned it. Today the art of Tai Chi Ball Qigong is almost forgotten. Fortunately, this book (and the companion DVDs) allows interested students to practice this effective training and incorporate it into their general exercise routine, or martial arts regimen.
For martial artists, Tai Chi Ball Qigong training can strengthen the torso, condition the muscles, and increase physical power by using the mind to lead the qi. It can be a major training tool to enhance pushing hands ability.
