Who Should Attend
Course Duration
Course Outline
Introducing Visual Basic and the .NET Framework
This module describes the purpose of the .NET Framework 4 and how you can build applications by using Visual Studio 2010.
- Introduction to the .NET Framework 4
- Creating Projects Within Visual Studio 2010
- Writing a Visual Basic Application
- Building a Graphical Application
- Documenting an Application
- Debugging Applications by Using Visual Studio 2010
Using Visual Basic Programming Constructs
This module introduces many of the basic Visual Basic language data types and programming constructs, and describes the syntax and semantics of these constructs.
- Declaring Variables and Assigning Values
- Using Expressions and Operators
- Creating and Using Arrays
- Using Decision Statements
- Using Iteration Statements
Declaring and Calling Methods
A key part of developing any application is dividing the solution into logical components. In object-oriented languages such as Microsoft Visual Basic, a method is a unit of code that is designed to perform a discrete piece of work. This module introduces methods and describes how to define and use them.
- Defining and Invoking Methods
- Specifying Optional Parameters and ByRef Parameters
Handling Exceptions
Exception handling is an important concept and your applications should be designed with exception handling in mind. This module explains how you can implement effective exception handling in your applications, and how you can use exceptions in your methods to elegantly indicate an error condition to the code that calls your methods.
- Handling Exceptions
- Raising Exceptions
Reading and Writing Files
The ability to access and manipulate the files on the file system is a common requirement for many applications. This module shows how to read and write to files by using the classes in the Microsoft .NET Framework. This module also describes the different approaches that you can take, and how to read and write different formats of data.
- Accessing the File System
- Reading and Writing Files by Using Streams
Creating New Types
The Microsoft.NET Framework base class library consists of many types that you can use in your applications. However, in all applications, you must also build your own types that implement the logic for your solution.
This module explains how to create your own modules and types and describes the differences between reference types and value types.
- Creating and Using Modules and Enumerations
- Creating and Using Classes
- Creating and Using Structures
- Comparing References to Values
Encapsulating Data and Methods
This module describes how to use some of the access modifiers that Visual Basic provides to enable you to implement encapsulation. This module also introduces the Shared modifier, which enables you to define members that can be shared over multiple instances of the same type.
- Controlling Visibility of Type Members
- Sharing Methods and Data
Inheriting from Classes and Implementing Interfaces
This module introduces inheritance and interfaces in the Microsoft .NET Framework, and how you can use them to simplify complex problems, reduce code duplication, and speed up development. Inheritance is a key concept in an object-oriented language. You can use inheritance, interfaces, and abstract classes to develop object hierarchies in your code. These object hierarchies can help reduce bugs by defining clear contracts for what a class will expose and by providing default implementations where you can sensibly abstract code into a base type.
- Using Inheritance to Define New Reference Types
- Defining and Implementing Interfaces
- Defining Abstract Classes
Managing the Lifetime of Objects and Controlling Resources
All applications use resources. When you build a Microsoft Visual Basic application, resources fall into two broad categories: managed resources that are handled by the common language runtime (CLR) and unmanaged resources that are maintained by the operating system outside the scope of the CLR. A managed resource is typically an object based on a class defined by using a managed language, such as Visual Basic. Examples of unmanaged resources include items implemented outside the Microsoft .NET Framework, such as Component Object Model (COM) components, file handles, database connections, and network connections.
Resource management is important in any applications that you develop. The NET Framework simplifies resource management by automatically reclaiming the resources by a managed object when it is no longer referenced by an application. Managed resources are handled by the .NET Framework garbage collector. However, unmanaged resources are not controlled by the garbage collector; you must take special steps to dispose them properly and prevent them from being held longer than necessary.
- Introduction to Garbage Collection
- Managing Resources
Encapsulating Data and Defining Overloaded Operators
Many operators have well-defined behavior for the built-in Visual Basic types, but you can also define operators for your own types. This module describes how to implement operators for your types by using overloading.
- Creating and Using Properties
- Creating and Using Indexers
- Overloading Operators
Decoupling Methods and Handling Events
This module explains how to decouple an operation from the method that implements it and how to use anonymous methods to implement decoupled operations. This module also explains how to use events to inform consuming applications of a change or notable occurrence in a type.
- Declaring and Using Delegates
- Using Lambda Expressions
- Handling Events
Using Collections and Building Generic Types
The basic collection classes introduce a new problem. Classes that act on other types are often not type-safe. For example, many collection classes frequently use the Object type to store items, and must then be cast or converted back to their original type before they can be used. It is the programmers responsibility to ensure that the correct casts or conversions are performed, and it is easy to introduce errors by casting or converting an item to the wrong type. This module introduces generics and how you can use generic classes to maintain type-integrity and avoid issues that are associated with a lack of type safety.
- Using Collections
- Creating and Using Generic Types
- Defining Generic Interfaces and Understanding Variance
- Using Generic Methods and Delegates
Building and Enumerating Custom Collection Classes
When you develop applications, you often need to store collections of objects. In many circumstances, you can use the collection classes that the Microsoft .NET Framework includes; however, sometimes these collection classes do not provide the functionality that you require. For example, you may need to store objects in a sorted order that is based on a custom sorting algorithm.
This module introduces you to custom collection classes. It also explains how you can develop collection classes that support the language constructs that Visual Basic provides, such as enumeration and collection initialization.
- Implementing a Custom Collection Class
- Adding an Enumerator to a Custom Collection Class
Using LINQ to Query Data
This module introduces you to Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) queries and explains how you can use them to process data in your Microsoft .NET Framework applications. This module also explains the difference between shared and dynamic LINQ queries, and describes how you can use dynamic LINQ to create highly flexible queries that you build at run time.
- Using the LINQ Extension Methods and Query Operators
- Building Dynamic LINQ Queries and Expressions
Integrating Visual Basic Code with Dynamic Languages and COM Components
Integration with other technologies is a key feature of the Microsoft.NET Framework. Previous versions of the .NET Framework enabled you to combine components that were developed by using different languages that have compilers that the .NET Framework supports. The .NET Framework 4 now supports integration of components built by using dynamic languages. This enables you to re-use items built by using a wide range of scripting languages that are not easily accessible from Microsoft Visual Basic code.
In addition, previous versions of the .NET Framework have always enabled you to integrate Component Object Model (COM) services and components into your managed applications. The integration did however, require a good understanding of the differences between the way in which the common language runtime (CLR) and the COM environment operated. The new features of Visual Basic 2010 have simplified the way in which you can invoke COM components, so it is easier for you to re-use these items in a Visual Basic application. This module describes how to integrate code written by using a dynamic language such as Ruby and Python, or technologies such as COM, into a Visual Basic application.
- Integrating Visual Basic Code with Ruby and Python
- Accessing COM Components from Visual Basic

Creating a Scouting System in Football Manager
Since the start of my 'Moneyball' Udinese save, one of the main questions I get asked is how to find the undiscovered gems of the football world. Given the save is built around signing players for value due to their low reputation, this is an area of the game I spend a lot of time on. Twitter is a pretty handy tool for answering lots of questions, but this topic deserves more than 140 characters.
I recommend reading the whole article and then putting it into practice in FM, rather than stage-by-stage. It's also well worth checking out the comments section of this article as there are some points I've missed that provide some more handy info.
Continue reading
FM15: The Udinese Project: 2015/16 and immediate progression
Achieving a constant upwards progression under strict financial constraints is incredibly rare in real-life. However, this is Football Manager and it's a damn site easier. Despite making a £15m profit on transfers, as well as performing a complete overhaul, we were able to turn 14th position into 6th.
Following a horrendous start, we seemed to be battling relegation rather than fighting for a top-half finish. After game-week 15, we were in 15th place. But a 2-1 win against European contenders Lazio turned our season around. After that point, we only lost twice in Serie A; a very much undeserved 3-0 at Napoli, and a placid final day performance at the San Siro against AC Milan.
FM15: The Udinese Project: Summer 2015 Transfer Window
At the end of my introductory post on the new Udinese save, I mentioned the situation was something of a 'clusterfuck'. In truth, it was a lot worse and I had to complete more outgoing transfers/loans than in any transfer window ever.
The Summer all began with the loan players returning. This was fine. Whilst there was lots to deal with, we were at the end of June and there was plenty of time. However, the day before they were all due to return, the board announced they were considering a consortium takeover and this resulted in a temporary transfer embargo.
Regardless, planning went on, and we'd been given a £360k p/w wage budget. This seemed fairly reasonable… until the loanees returned. At this point I thought something must've been wrong, because upon trying to offer a new contract to one of our current players, the maximum value was an absolute pittance. So I checked the finances, and we were now paying £640k p/w in wages.
FM15: Moneyball & The Udinese Project
Finishing my Dortmund save meant it was time for a new one. I asked on Twitter and in the previous blog post for suggestions on new places to visit across Europe. There were some excellent suggestions, with Denmark and Croatia amongst my favourites. Whilst Denmark seemed an excellent place to manage, none of the clubs particularly took my fancy. And similarly, Croatia had some interesting rules on Home Grown players that I didn't fancy contending with.
When I can't decide a club to choose for a new save, I tend to holiday a season with a big database of many leagues. Once the season is up I check for vacancies and particularly insecure jobs. More often than not, there's something interesting. And this time was no different; Ajax, Werder Bremen, Zenit, Celta Vigo, and a few others were available. But eventually the club selected was Udinese.
FM15: 17/18 Dortmund: Always the bridesmaid, never the bride
The new season promised to make up for the disappointments of the year before. We made very little impact domestically or on the continent, and despite finding ourselves in the Europa League, I was determined to go far.
Transfer dealings were performed largely based on my attribute & role rating system I mentioned in my previous posts. Five of the signings were made for the first team, with four having a strong recommendation from the system; whilst the other was a keeper (Timo Horn). I'm not quite sure why I didn't set up the system to cater for goalkeepers, but it doesn't so there we go. Something to add for future.
Selling a few key first teamers gave us a fairly large transfer chest. One of our top performers in 16/17 was Douglas Costa, but a move to Manchester City turned his head, and the club was more than happy with the £23m fee. Max Kruse (£14m), Walter (£8.5m), Milos Jojic (£9m), Jonas Hoffman (£5m) and Erik Durm (£9.5m) were also shipped out after the system insisted they were all pretty rubbish. Leo was then sold for £6m after the opportunity to sign the high potential Lucas Boye arrived, and Kevin Grosskreutz was going to stay until a £15.25m offer arrived from Leverkusen; too good to ignore for a 29 year old.
FM15: First full season at Southampton, and radars galore
Having somehow finished the first year in 15th, I was hoping to push on and solidify our position as a top half team in 2015/16. Gabriel Barbosa and Eder Alvarez Balanta were to be key players, having spent the latter half of the season settling into life in England. They were also aptly supported by some big signings in the Summer window.
I went into the Summer with a philosophy in mind and a slightly different scouting process in order to follow through with it. In my last post, I focussed on the search for a right midfielder. The conclusion was that Joel Campbell was the man, with Adel Taarabt as the backup. We signed neither. Campbell chose Fiorentina. As for Taarabt, we agreed a deal with QPR, and then a contract with the player. As I went to confirm the transfer, the option was not there as he'd torn his cruciate ligaments only the day before — out for 8-9 months, failed medical. I wasn't sure whether to be happy or sad that we'd missed out on his signing, at that point.
The Coffeehouse: A welcome
"The modern way of discussing and understanding the modern game was invented in the coffee houses of Vienna."
Welcome to The Coffeehouse: Debating FM.
Firstly, why The Coffeehouse? During the early 1920's, as mainland Europe began to shake off the aftereffects of the Great War, football was beginning to morph into a similar game to the one we see today. Whilst the rest of the world was still yet to truly appreciate the tactical intricacies of football, this was not the case in the coffee houses of Vienna. Intellectuals from across the Austrian capital were to meet daily in the coffeehouses, where they would discuss a number of topical subjects, namely football.

Question: I am 23 weeks pregnant and I am so tired! Is it normal to be so tired? Should I let myself rest as much as I want?
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Pregnancy can be hard work, and can be very tiring indeed. Sometimes you feel like you need to sit down and rest after walking a single block.
There are several factors contributing to your fatigue. Perhaps the most obvious is that you are carrying more weight: the baby, the amniotic fluid, the placenta, extra fat. It all adds up to weighing you down so that every step feels heavy.
Another big factor is your increased blood volume. You have approximately 50% more blood in your body when you are pregnant, which forces your circulation system to work that much harder. No wonder pregnant women feel out of breath more easily! As well, you have a higher need for iron, which can also cause fatigue.
Finally, the hormonal changes in your body cannot be underestimated: Pregnancy hormones can make you feel so sleepy that it is hard to get through the day without dozing off. Remember, your body is growing a whole new human being—from scratch!—which is a huge job, and a very valid reason to feel tired. So go ahead and indulge yourself. Take naps if you can, and treat yourself to some prenatal massage sessions or yoga classes, or whatever you find relaxing.
On the other hand, as much as you need rest, the pregnant body needs exercise too. Make sure to engage in some form of brisk exercise every day (walking, swimming, cycling—whatever you prefer). This will actually increase your energy levels, and help you get better sleep at night. Activity is important, and so is rest.

A new preclinical study indicates that THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, may slow or halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's Reading Room
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the active ingrient in marijuana that produces a psychoactive reaction. THC is a naturally occurring chemical substance in the marijuana plant.
Cancer patients have used marijuana medicinally to find relief from the pain, nausea, and loss of appetite that can be caused by cancer treatments.

Marijuana compound may offer treatment for Alzheimer's disease
New preclinical study indicates THC may slow or halt progression of memory-robbing disease
- Extremely low levels of the compound in marijuana known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, may slow or halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease, a recent study from neuroscientists at the University of South Florida shows.
- Findings from the experiments, using a cellular model of Alzheimer's disease, were reported online in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
- Researchers from the USF Health Byrd Alzheimer's Institute showed that extremely low doses of THC reduce the production of amyloid beta, found in a soluble form in most aging brains, and prevent abnormal accumulation of this protein -- a process considered one of the pathological hallmarks evident early in the memory-robbing disease.
- These low concentrations of THC also selectively enhanced mitochondrial function, which is needed to help supply energy, transmit signals, and maintain a healthy brain.
"THC is known to be a potent antioxidant with neuroprotective properties, but this is the first report that the compound directly affects Alzheimer's pathology by decreasing amyloid beta levels, inhibiting its aggregation, and enhancing mitochondrial function," said study lead author Chuanhai Cao, PhD and a neuroscientist at the Byrd Alzheimer's Institute and the USF College of Pharmacy.
"Decreased levels of amyloid beta means less aggregation, which may protect against the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Since THC is a natural and relatively safe amyloid inhibitor, THC or its analogs may help us develop an effective treatment in the future."
- The researchers point out that at the low doses studied, the therapeutic benefits of THC appear to prevail over the associated risks of THC toxicity and memory impairment.
"While we are still far from a consensus, this study indicates that THC and THC-related compounds may be of therapeutic value in Alzheimer's disease," Nabar said. "Are we advocating that people use illicit drugs to prevent the disease? No. It's important to keep in mind that just because a drug may be effective doesn't mean it can be safely used by anyone. However, these findings may lead to the development of related compounds that are safe, legal, and useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease."
- The body's own system of cannabinoid receptors interacts with naturally-occurring cannabinoid molecules, and these molecules function similarly to the THC isolated from the cannabis (marijuana) plant.
"The dose and target population are critically important for any drug, so careful monitoring and control of drug levels in the blood and system are very important for therapeutic use, especially for a compound such as THC," Dr. Cao said.Featured Articles

TWENTY-SIX years ago this month, a coalition of New Yorkers led by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis won a historic victory for Central Park. At issue was a planned building on Columbus Circle by the developer Mortimer B. Zuckerman with 58- and 68-story towers that would cast long shadows on the park. After a lawsuit by opponents of the plan and a rally in Central Park at which over 800 New Yorkers with umbrellas formed a line to simulate the building's shadow, Mr. Zuckerman relented and agreed to scale down his design, which eventually became known as the Time Warner Center.
"One would hope that the city would act as protector of sun and light and clean air and space and parkland," Mrs. Onassis said at the time. "Those elements are essential to combat the stress of urban life." Today, as the city becomes denser and green space ever more precious, New Yorkers' access to sunlight and blue skies above Central Park is under assault in ways that make Mr. Zuckerman's original plans look benign.
Fueled by lax zoning laws, cheap capital and the rise of a global elite with millions to spend on pieds-à-terre, seven towers — two of them nearly as tall as the Empire State Building — have recently been announced or are already under way near the south side of the park. This so-called Billionaires' Row, with structures rising as high as 1,424 feet, will form a fence of steel and glass that will block significant swaths of the park's southern exposure, especially in months when the sun stays low in the sky.
At New York's latitude, explained Michael Kwartler, the president of the Environmental Simulation Center, a New York City nonprofit that creates shadow assessments, buildings cast substantial northerly shadows throughout the day in colder months. At noon on the winter solstice, for example, those shadows reach twice a building's height and fall due north before stretching to 4.2 times its height in a northeasterly direction, 90 minutes before sunset.
That means the shadows of the larger of these planned buildings would jut half a mile into the park at midday on the solstice and elongate to around a mile in length as they angled across the park toward the Upper East Side, darkening playgrounds and ball fields, as well as paths and green space like Sheep Meadow that are enjoyed by 38 million visitors each year.
"The cumulative effect of these shadows will be to make the park less usable and less pleasant to be in," Mr. Kwartler said.
Some damage has already been done. In cooler months, when direct sunlight can make all the difference for children playing outside, visitors to the amazing Heckscher Playground on the south end of Central Park can find themselves cut off from the sun in midafternoon by Extell's One57, where earlier this year a penthouse apartment reportedly sold for $90 million to a group of investors.
Despite the likely impact these buildings would have on the park, there has been remarkably little public discussion, let alone dissent, about the plans. Part of this is because few people seem aware of what's coming. Many of the buildings are so-called as-of-right developments that do not require the public filing of shadow assessments, which can ignite opposition with their eye-popping renderings of the impact shadows will have on surrounding areas.
But New York City has also lost a kind of rabble-rousing infrastructure that once stood up to overzealous developers.
Opposition to Mr. Zuckerman's plans, for example, was spearheaded by the Municipal Art Society, a watchdog on issues of urban design that today is a comparatively acquiescent organization — with developers on its board. The Landmarks Preservation Commission, which approved plans for two of the towers this month, has also ignored the issue of shadows on the park in favor of a narrow concern with the aesthetics of the structures themselves. The Central Park Conservancy has also remained silent, contending, when asked, that its focus should remain within the park's borders — never mind that this is exactly where the shadows in question would fall.
There are few New Yorkers around today with the gravitas and magnetism of Jacqueline Onassis to focus public attention on planning issues the way she did for Grand Central Terminal and Columbus Circle. That means New Yorkers who want to protect Central Park will have to do it on their own, by picking up their umbrellas once again and by contacting community boards, politicians, city agencies and the developers themselves, to demand immediate height restrictions south of the park. And they need to hurry, before the sun sets permanently on a space the park designer Frederick Law Olmsted envisioned as "a democratic development of the highest significance."

One of the most frequently-asked questions we get deals with where you should embark your Alaska cruise: Seattle, Washington, or Vancouver, British Columbia? The short answer is that there's no right or wrong decision; a voyage to Alaska is beautiful in its own right. Having said that, there are some pros and cons to each city that are worth taking into consideration.
Vancouver, BC
Being based in beautiful Vancouver, we're understandably biased towards our gem of a hometown. Vancouver International Airport provides air connections from nearly every conceivable destination, and the Canada Line rapid transit train takes guests from YVR to the Canada Place Cruise Terminal in just 22 minutes. It's faster than a taxi, and, in most cases, cheaper, too.
But the real reason we recommend sailing from Vancouver over Seattle – at least for first-time cruisers – is twofold.
To start, sailaway from Canada Place is one of the most beautiful departures we've experienced anywhere in the world. After departing Canada Place – with its iconic white sails – ships sail past the northern edge of Downtown Vancouver, known as Coal Harbor. Ships then pass Stanley Park before sailing under the iconic Lion's Gate Bridge and out into the pristine (and narrow) confines of the Inside Passage and head north, to Alaska.
Most Vancouver itineraries include at least one day of sailing this beautiful stretch of water, and roundtrip voyages include two days of Inside Passage scenic cruising.
There is no shortage of cruise lines to choose from in Vancouver. Celebrity Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania, Princess Cruises and Royal Caribbean all call Vancouver home, along with luxury operators Regent Seven Seas, and Silversea Cruises.
Seattle, Washington
Located less than 150 miles to the south is the vibrant city of Seattle. Like Vancouver, it is graced with some of the most beautiful scenery in the Pacific Northwest, from Puget Sound to the San Juan Islands further upstate. With two cruise terminals (Pier 66 and Pier 91) and an airport (SeaTac) located conveniently in the heart of the city, Seattle is a particularly easy city to cruise to – especially if you're travelling from within the United States and don't relish the international flight into Vancouver.
Sailaway here is equally scenic, but for different reasons. Cruise ships calling on Seattle tend to leave at more or less the same time, which can result in an attractive procession of ships sailing out of the city. On a sunny day, it's easy to see all of Seattle's many attractions, including Pike Place Market and the Space Needle. On a misty day, the brooding beauty of the Pacific Northwest is on full display as you sail through Puget Sound and into the Juan de Fuca Strait, bound for the Pacific Ocean.
If there is a downside to sailing from Seattle, it is that most ships will swing out into the Pacific Ocean on the first and last day of the voyage, skipping much of the scenery found in the Inside Passage that so characterizes Vancouver sailings.
Still, chances are good that you'll find a cruise to love departing from Seattle. Celebrity Cruises, Holland America, Norwegian, Oceania, Princess, and Royal Caribbean all maintain an impressive presence here, with the latter bringing the gargantuan Explorer of the Seas to Alaska – and the West Coast – for the first time ever this year.
No matter which city you choose to sail from, Alaska is one of the most spectacular cruise destinations on the planet. You can't go wrong with either but, depending on your preferences, you might favor one city over the other.
Give it a thought – and give us a call to book your very own Alaskan cruise adventure.

Hellooo, it has been a while since I last posted (I seem to always start my blogs like that) but I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Christmas!!
This is my first Christmas in my own home, so there has been lots of Christmas crafts, baking, present wrapping and decorations to enjoy as well as of course Christmas candles!!
I would love to say I have enjoyed this season to the full this year, but with Josh's work being so hectic and me having tonnes of uni work to do I feel like I haven't made the most of it! It is hard not having much money around the Christmas period, but Josh and I are both looking forward to next year when we don't have to be living off one pay cheque (hopefully!!).
As a Christian, of course, Christmas is a very important time for me. I like to spend some time reflecting on how Jesus came to this earth on Christmas eve over 2,000 years a go (yes, I know that Jesus was not actually born on Christmas eve – but its a great time to celebrate it!). I love Christmas carols and how beautifully they reflect why Jesus came to us.
this verse from one of my favourite carols, "O Little Town of Bethlehem" sums it up beautifully
"How silently, how silently the wonderous gift is given. So God imparts to human hearts the belssings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming but in this world of sin, where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in."
This Christmas I hope you will let Jesus in to your heart, you will never look back!
Merry Christmas

Re: Creating a server HELP!
You might be more likely to get support on the Tes3MP subreddit, or the dedicated forum section here. Technically, Tes3MP and OpenMW are different projects with different goals, even though one is a fork of the other. There's obviously a lot of people who are interested in both projects, but the keenest on Tes3MP are likely to hang around somewhere specifically dedicated to it.

Today we are taking around the beautiful Peak District by photographer jambo1986
The Peak District will always hold a special place in my heart, especially for photography. The Peaks were my first real outing into the English hills for Landscape photography and I've been returning ever since. Each season having it's own merits and highlights, from the beautifully snow covered landscapes in winter, to the purple hills in Summer when the heather is in full swing. Whether you take photos yourself or just love being outdoors it's just beautiful. I remember the first time I visited, I was grinning from ear to ear all day, I'd never seen anything like it, let alone only a couple of hours from home.
What is your favourite place to have a cup of tea? #teawithaview
My favourite place to have a cup of tea would be at the top of Mam Tor, watching the cyclists flying down the winding road & the sun setting over the valley.

Yes! It has been a wonderful summer down at Grotto Beach in Hermanus.
You just have to take a look at the stream of Instagram photo's posted by patrons to see the good times, reunions, romances and celebrations that were enjoyed and the memories made.
The Summer Lounge with its cocktail and sushi bar has been a great hit…and for those locals who hibernate whilst the visitors are here…come and try it out – Summer isn't over yet!
Although our food and service has been showered with praise we have had one or two negative reviews. This is to be expected, particularly over season, but we would like to urge you, should you be unhappy with anything whatsoever, to call for management immediately so that we can ensure that your Dutchies experience is all you expect it to be.
We're delighted to have the SNLjazz trio playing for us this coming Friday 29th January.
Maestro Simon Annett is on drums; Luke Townsend on saxophones (yes – he plays tenor, alto AND soprano!) and the gifted Congolese pianist, Nelson Malela, who adds a magical touch to whatever genre he is playing.
These versatile and extremely talented musicians have performed with musical greats the world over and are not to be missed!! Please remember to book to avoid disappointment.

Amsterdam photographers are available on Pix Around.
Choose to live the atmosphere of the city on the water, exploring the canals and magic locations thought the eyes of our vacation photographers. Try to explore the main city spots like the Joordan area, a multicultural zone where people all around the world share the space and their daily life. Or just hanging around along the canals is a good way to spend your time in the city.
Overall could be the right place to have a photo shoot, why not! ask and explain your desires to our vacation photographer!
Other things of Amsterdam are the different events and festivals, which make the city an open space artwork. For example during the light festival the city has a special program to follow.

If I didn't have dance in my life I would feel like a part of me is missing. Some people may think dance is just movement to the sound of music, but to me it allows my body to express meaning. I am so grateful that this is one of the talents God has given me. After a long day at school, dance allows me to let go and just be me. At home I like to turn up the music and dance for fun. Dancing makes me feel good. What I love about dance is that anyone can do it if they have the passion for it. If a person is determined they can achieve anything.
I am looking forward to going to the camp in Twin Falls this summer because I think it will help me to become a better dancer. I want to focus on my technique in jazz and ballet so that I may have the opportunity to move up with the girls that are the same age as I am. Even if I don't receive this scholarship I am still going to work really hard to go to camp. Thank you for this opportunity.

Totally forgot that I had photos to post from my trip to Florida. I visited a couple friends in Gainesville and was able to go to Sarasota to the number 1 rated beach in the US! Siesta Key beach is beautiful (oh and I brought home a sunburn). Was totally bummed my good camera was not fixed in time for my trip so my Canon PowerShot A590 had to come out of storage. We also traveled to Blue Springs, which I think had the most teal blue water I have ever seen. As well as two turtles who were about a foot and a half in diameter.
It was an amazing trip and I got to cross off a bucket list item (meeting Shivank for the first time).

"I'm not quite sure how she does it, but Michelle Mras has a peculiar ability: she is actually two people. She is either the best speaker you've ever heard, or she's the best speaker you've never heard.
She has an irresistible presence and she commands your attention and interest like a tractor beam.
Few people can elicit the sense of togetherness and empowerment that she does. Michelle is an exemplar of all things the world could and should be!" – David Dixon
by Michelle Mras (Author), Tony Mras (Author and Father-in-Law)
She wasn't any ordinary woman; Mary was a magnetic force who lived life with an enthusiasm rarely seen in someone facing such daunting odds. A fabulous wife, mother, sister, daughter and teacher to all, Mary's life was a lesson on how to choose joy in every circumstance.
Mary Mras was my mother-in-law and a woman everyone would benefit from knowing, had cancer not cut her time short.
Eat, Drink and Be Mary is the story of my chance exchange with Mary that eventually led me to her son, my husband, and the impact she had on my life as my mentor and friend. It wasn't until years later, after her death and a dramatic occurrence in my life, that I realized the power of Mary's words.
Though she never knew fame or even the limelight, Mary lived a life worthy of sharing with others. Through the pages, Mary will speak to readers as she once spoke to me: with conviction, hope and honestly.
Eat, Drink and Be Mary shares her quips and insights, her "Mary-isms." Her words and wisdom will transform the reader's mindset and inspire them to seek the truth about who they really want to be in life. Intimate tales of Mary's courage during her battle with Leukemia are also shared in behind-the-scene stories from her husband Tony.
Come meet a woman unlike any other and bask in her timeless wisdom, while you Eat, Drink and Be Mary!
When you see someone whom you consider successful, do you think, "They are so lucky!" Do you follow that thought with, "I could never do that?" You aren't alone. Many of us have daily struggles with the voice in our head that declares, "you aren't good enough." The short stories in each chapter are meant to open your mind to the possibilities. The subsequent questions are meant for you to dig deep into your own experiences. You'll get out of this book the equivalent effort put into it and come to realize you don't need luck to overcome yourself.

... The session started with a talk by Michelle Mras, an inspirational speaker, success coach and corporate trainer.
"It's really important to know that there are other women that have been through similar things and are able to help support them to either look for a job or advance in their careers," said Julie Krow, the county's DHS executive director.
Like Valenzuela, Chelsea Adams is a single mother of two boys looking for a fresh start. After a couple of hours talking to vendors and browsing through racks of clothes, she landed an interview to be a call-taker for a printing company.
She felt confident that she'd land the job, saying the boost she received at the Wednesday event will help.
"It's going to totally turn me around."
Have a plan ("if you don't have a plan, you are just wandering") Eat dessert first ("all the wonderful things in life")
Avoid ruts ("the difference between a rut and a grave are the dimensions that you build it")
My favorites quote that speaks to her unique perspective:
"The glass in not half-full; it's refillable."
Over the course of 19+ minutes you will be brought upon a life-long journey and be standing right next to Michelle during happy times and heart-wrenching moments as she shares life and leadership lessons from her amazing mother-in-law Mary (hence the name of the talk and this title). Michelle (and TEDx Colorado Springs) – thank you for sharing this story. If Michelle's story resonates with you, then please leave a comment on the YouTube Page – more comments increases Michelle's possibility of getting selected for national-level TED Talks.

Brian Stewart, a former White House intern and student at Morgan State University, has filed a complaint against Kappa Alpha Psi faternity after he claims he was denied membership into the fraternity based on his sexual orientation.
Stewart said he dreamed of joining Morgan's chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity and thought members would be impressed by his academic accomplishments but he was rejected the day after his interview.
He believes it is because of his sexual orientation, citing social-media messages using an anti-gay slur that someone sent him and told him were between fraternity members.
Morgan State University has launched an investigation into the allegations.

I did not go to the seaside (Vama Veche, where this conformist country becomes non-comformist) in the end. I did not go to the country and the true Romania. They joy of waking late and coffee. Dog day weather is so tiring.
Maybe later a croissant special at Gregory's but no need to hurry. A bath and then who knows? Saturday morning approaches the Platonic idea of life. All is potential, nothing actual.
This suits my psychology only too, too well.

Sloth, O Catullus, to thee is hurtful: in sloth beyond measure dost thou exult and pass thy life. Sloth hath erewhile ruined rulers and gladsome cities.

From the moment my heart, smaller than the head of a match
flared to life my blood pumped thanksgiving to you.
My every waking cry was a shout of praise for breath and each
crawling step on bended knees a worshipful sacrifice of praise
My musical babbling, joyful noise falling upon attentive ears
as my incoherent songs of worship colored the angels wings
as they gathered and whispered, "watch as he prays"
I stumble through a broken "Our Father, Who art in Heaven".
each faltering word drenched with understanding based of childlike faith,
the forgotten lines pauses for you to answer back
This was when I knew the perfection of dependence
and before the notion of privilege was battered into my skull.
A simpler time when my every exultation was born from my grateful heart
and expressed in every breath that past from my lips
Before I grew to understand poverty and strife and misery
but even now, though my steps are sure and firm on the earth
and my voice has lost the magical innocence of incoherence
and each prayer is an elaborate treatise arranged just so
still within me beats that same heart, now the size of a fist,
a fist hammering down the walls of self reliance and apathy
and remembering what it was to laugh and talk with you in a forgotten
patch of sunlight, thanking you for making the sky blue because
I really liked the color and asking why you made fire hot.
When I realize that in the simplicity of my childhood you cared for me
and in the ignorance of my youth you stilled cared
and now in the confusion of my young adulthood you still care
my flaming fist sized heart swells in song as I give thanks
as I give thanks with a grateful heart.

A Legislative Perspective on the Kentucky General Assembly with State Representative Rick Rand
FRANKFORT – In recent days, the state's Cabinet for Economic Development has been highlighting an industry that can be summed up in three words: Made in Kentucky.
It's a phrase that applies to more and more products every year. According to the Cabinet, we now have more than 4,000 factories, and their 220,000 employees manufacture about $27 billion worth of goods, a third more than they did just five years ago.
We can point to several factors behind this positive trend, beginning with our exports, which grew faster than all but one state in 2013 and are 10 percent ahead of that record pace so far this year.
At the same time, more than 200 manufacturers announced last year that they were locating here or undertaking a major expansion. All told, they are on track to create nearly 7,500 jobs.
In a further breakdown of these numbers, there are three industrial sectors helping to lead this latest resurgence: aerospace, aluminum and autos.
The first of those is our biggest exporter, accounting for 20 percent of all that we ship beyond our borders. The auto industry is a close second, which is no surprise since we're now third among the states in light car and truck production. In addition to our four assembly plants, we have more than 450 other factories supplying the parts these vehicles need.
As for aluminum, few states can match our production, and we're set to see those numbers grow significantly as the auto industry moves toward all-aluminum bodies. Only about one percent of vehicles now fits in that category, but the Cabinet for Economic Development says this is expected to grow to 20 percent within a decade. This move is already having a major impact here in Kentucky, since it was the driving force behind two recent announcements amounting to $500 million in new investment.
In addition to making a name for ourselves in these three categories, there are other areas as well where we shine.
Consider that a Louisville company makes about 90 percent of the disco balls now produced in the country. If you're looking for more timeless pastimes, Hopkinsville's Ebonite International is the world's epicenter for bowling equipment; a Northern Kentucky factory makes most of the playing cards we shuffle; another company provides athletic equipment used extensively by our pro sports franchises; and the houseboat industry that originated here in Kentucky more than 60 years ago now has annual sales topping $800 million.
In terms of everyday products, one of our factories makes enough Post-it Notes to circle the globe 100 times annually, and Louisville is home to Reynolds Wrap, which will celebrate a century of production in a few years.
Many of our manufacturers provide the food we eat and drink. Those include the world's largest peanut butter plant in Lexington and the only factories that make Hot Pockets, Uncrustables sandwiches and Airheads candy. We also have 50 non-alcoholic beverage producers, 34 distilleries and 28 wineries.
Kentucky's diverse profile when it comes to manufacturing speaks volumes about all that we have to offer, and it's a good foundation from which to work as the industry adds jobs here that once went overseas. Our task now, quite literally, is to build on that foundation, but that's something I'm confident we can do.
If you have any questions or comments about this issue, feel free to contact me. You can write to me at Room 366B, Capitol Annex, 702 Capitol Avenue, Frankfort KY 40601; or you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To leave a message for me or for any legislator, call toll-free at 800-372-7181. For those with a hearing impairment, the number is 800-896-0305.
I hope to hear from you soon.
