I'm trying to replace/overwrite the ItemStyle.xsl file using a WSP. I can create a new file in the Style Library/XSL Style Sheets folder just fine using this method. I just can't figure out how to update any file that already exists. In
the example below, the new file ItemStyle2.xsl gets created in the folder, but the ItemStyle.xsl doesn't get updated.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I get this error whenever I attempt to update an entry. Even an entry that has had nothing altered. I have tried to circumvent it but I think it must be a simple oversight. How could I have caused an ID update using the Edit.aspx page of dynamic data? Thank you in advance for the help!

The timestamps that you can obtain from Windows NT are limited to a maximum resolution of 10 or 15 milliseconds, depending on the underlying hardware. At times, such as when you need to timetag frequent events, it is desirable to achieve a higher resolution. For example, what if you want to be able to contact a thread or perform some other task at intervals more frequent than 10 milliseconds? Suggested ways of achieving better resolution include using performance counters in conjunction with the sytem time to calculate smaller time increments. But using performance counters is a technique that presents its own problems. This article shows one possible way of overcoming limitations inherent in this approach.

Both the .NET Framework and Windows have some very interesting APIs for creating applications that are capable of updating themselves automatically over a network. There are many advantages to writing your application to update itself like Windows Update does, including convenience for your users, from easier maintenance to network administration. Automatic updates require attention to factors such as discovery, security, and file replacement. In this article, the author covers the BITS API as well as a number of features of the .NET Framework that take care of these facets of auto-updating using the same facilities that the Windows Update uses.

Hi all,
I have a database linked to a calendar. I had a peice of code that retrieved dates from a database and populated the calendar. I wanted to tidy up my code using stored procedures (they seem neater & i assume there's a benefit somewhere). so i came up with this, however it's not working. The calendar displays, but it's not being populated with the database entries. The SqlCommand & SqlParameter I have working elsewhere in my code; as with the SqlDataAdapter (which also worked before i tried to conver to a stored procedure!) but combining these three (SqlCommand, SqlParameter & SqlDataAdapter) seem to be causing me problems.
It's probably something stupid but if someone could take a look and point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.Cheers,Jim

The sharepoint My Sharepoint Sites list will not update. It last updated with the results from 4/22/10. I determined that by looking in out Share Sevices Administration database in the memberGroup table. It shows current entries for
everything prefaced by Mailto: So the distribution groups are updating however, nothing is updating for the actual sites. New sites have been added since this time and Membership in the Members group of these sites has changed as well
but none of these changes have been reflected i nthe My sharepoint sites. These changes also do not appear in the My Memberships portion of someone's My Site. Any suggestions?
We are running Sharepoint 2007 SP2 with W.S.S. 3.0 on a Windows srver 2003 R2 SP2 server. No changes were made to the system on the date in question. Perhaps 3 new team sites has been added in the days leading up to the problem.
We see no errors in any of the timer jobs or the event logs that appear related to the issue.
I am working with a company that has 1 site collection with several sub sites. I have built 3 document libraries with workflow in 3 different sub sites and all behave as expected. I have one site where ALL libraries do something perplexing;
If you are in a custom personal view and you go into the properties of a document and then exit (update or not, does not matter) it reverts back to the default view of that library.
Has anyone seen this? is there an option when creating an album that could cause this?
thanks in advance for any input on this odd issue.
There are actually two separate (I think) problems here. The scenario: I used the SharePoint Designer 2007 to create a workflow attached to a form library. When a form is
submitted to the library, a To-Do-Item is created on a task list. The To-Do-Item is initially assigned to a GROUP. A user from the group then selects the name of an individual from a choice list in edit item. This person now becomes the
Assigned To for the task.
What is needed is 1) To update the Assigned To column of the Form library when someone in the GROUP assigns the task to an INDIVIDUAL; and 2) To have the Due Date from the submitted
InfoPath form propagate to the task list.
I've tried having one workflow try to do everything and also having a secondary workflow set up on the task list to do the task assignment update but have not been successful
in solving either issue. I don't think that I am really understanding how to Define Workflow Lookup when not working with the Current Item. I know what fields I want but I don'
On Sharepoint 2007 SP2: "stsadm -o copyappbincontent" is not updating the web.config in my (Sharepoint Central Admin) folder C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\xxxxx
It only updates the single web.config file in my C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80 folder.
Without all web.config files and related content being updated, it prevents the use of certain functions within Central Admin-->.
What would prevent that stsadm command from updating all web.config files?

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Keywords: testcase
getBBox is implemented - it's just failing to run because the onload is fired before the frames are constructed. You can see this if you call your g_onload() with a onclick handler on the <test> element.
Comment 3•
14 years ago
So, when call to getBBox (I am more interested in non-zero result of getComputedTextLength for the purpose of text layout) is valid? ASV3 for IE works even at onload time. On the other hand, Mozilla's getBBox does not work on freshly created text elements even after onload. I suspect it does not measure text before actually drawing it, which is unfortunate. What possible workaround could be - e.g. creating new transparent element, pushing drawing queue somehow (waiting), then measuring?
I'm not necessarily saying our behavior is correct, just what was causing it.
Comment 5•

Can you direct me to an appropriate section of SVG spec? I did not find anything about timing (or, more correctly, order?) of events and methods/attributes. Or is it in more general DOM specs? I do not claim that Adobe's behaviour is correct either, it is just much more convenient from the DOM user's point of view. Otherwise it is hard to arrange text elements nicely, because you don't have means to measure text and adjust it in a cross-platfrom way (except using loadable fonts, which I am very reluctant to use for several reasons, not last of them is lack of hinting), so you are forced to rely on some run-time measurements. So, do you believe that this issue is worth resolving?
Our behavior should be fixed, but I think the solution will involve a lot of effort. http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/interact.html#EventsLoad

(In reply to comment #3) > What possible > workaround could be - e.g. creating new transparent element, pushing drawing > queue somehow (waiting), then measuring? You may be able to get it to work by calling forceRedraw() before you ask for the length or bbox (http:/ /www.w3.org/TR/SVG/struct.html#InterfaceSVGSVGElement). I'm not sure it'll work in this case but it was the workaround when other implementations had the same bug.
Comment 8•
14 years ago
Doesn't work, unfortunately. I inserted in my example two lines of code just before reference to getBBox: var svgs = document.getElementsByTagName("svg") svgs[0].forceRedraw() with no desirable effect. Though, after once being shown the text node becomes fully functional, so if you don't need to measure text while onload is processed, but only later, the work around looks like following: place some text with proper style and nonsense coordinates (opacity=0 does not help - not implemented in Mozilla, visibility=hidden will break even ASV3 - no need to display, no way to measure ;-) under correct transform like this: <text id="measure" x="-10000" y="-10000"> </text> Space between <text> and </text> is important, otherwise there will be no child node with data created. Then if you need to measure a piece of text: measureNode = document.getElementById("measure") measureNode.firstChild.data = someText w = measureNode.getComputedTextLength() This one works cross-platform.

Increasing the severity. This is causing problems for a lot of people and we don't have a workaround.

Speaking of workarounds, there is one that works for me so far: to trigger the redrawing procedures by function that gets called by setTimeout(myRedrawFc, 0). (I do apologize for such an OT post, but there might be more desperate people just as I was.)

Hello, I don't want to be annoying, but I wonder if someone is working on this problem? .getBBox() is a very important method and many people use it from onload scripts. Firefox is the only browser/UA failing when getBBox() is called "onload". I would really appreciate if this problem could be fixed in the near future (at least before FF3 is released). Thank you!

In the last few years, surveillance data from health units and the First Nations Inuit Health Branch has detected the virus in the mosquito population. Due to this increased activity, surveillance has been enhanced even though the risk is low and there has never been a reported human case of EEEV in Ontario.

|This article is about a/an ranger in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.
Sharma Tribe Knight Goushi (シャーマ族ナイト ゴウシ Shāma Zoku Naito Gōshi) is the MammothRanger (マンモスレンジャー Manmosu Renjā) of the Zyurangers, "Warrior of Wisdom". He is 27 years old (29 as of Super Sentai World, 47 years old in Gokaiger and 49 in Kyoryuger vs Go-Busters). He was the serious member although he was also caring and good-hearted. He had an older sister named Otome, whose death by Witch Bandora made him vow to avenge her. He is the only member who can read their ancient writing. He is the second-in-command to Yamato Tribe Prince Geki.
When confronted with Geki losing it over Burai's fate, Goushi went to the greatest trouble of all to snap him out of it, for Bandora had released a Dora Monster that could restore the dead to life, Dora Narcissus. All they had to do was let it mature, reach its full power, and then bring it in contact with Burai. But the process of maturing and reaching full power meant the slaughter of helpless people. Bandora offered Geki the choice of letting the thing live when it was still vulnerable, or killing it. And when Dan tried to stab the thing, Geki whirled and caught the tip of the spear in his bare hands.
Dora Narcissus got away, and when they faced it again, Geki, determined to prove himself, ignored advice and went up against it alone, losing them the battle and letting the monster escape again. He could not apologize enough to the furious Goushi, who refused to look at him. At last, Goushi hit upon an idea to snap Geki out of it.
He disguised himself as a black knight, a fighter on Bandora's side, and kept the monster from killing Geki by telling it that the boy was obviously about to defect to their side. Anyone who put his own needs before the safety of others was a candidate for such. He eventually forced Geki into a fight, and when he finally took it to heart that he had to defeat the monster and find some other way to save Burai, he was very happy. He was also nearly dead, for Geki had fought the black knight at his best until he broke through the armor and destroyed it.
And then found to his horror that it was Goushi standing there, smiling at him, before collapsing. Geki gathered up Goushi in his arms. Daizyujin picked them up, and as Goushi recovered from the thrashing he had accepted to break Geki out of it, they fought and destroyed Dora Narcissus. After the final battle, the five went to heaven to the rest they all earned.
Super Sentai World
Later, Goushi returned to Earth, alongside his team, joined forces with the Fivemen, Jetmen, Dairangers, and Kakurangers to defeat the evil Emperor Daidas and his forces. Super Sentai World
Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai
MammothRanger is among the Sentai warriors seen in clips when Gouki (GingaBlue) lectured Soutarou Ushigome (GaoBlack) about the past Sentai strong warriors, humbly claiming to not be nearly as strong as they are. Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai
Legend War
Years later, Goushi returned to Earth once again to fight alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Zgormin commanders. Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them, he gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The MammothRanger powers are later used by Don Dogoier via the Ranger Keys. Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
The Day of Battle
Goushi then appeared to Gai Ikari in episode 50 of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger to help him save a woman trapped under debris. He then told Gai that he shouldn't worry about what happens to the rest of the Super Sentai, as using the Greatest Treasure would erase the history of the previous 34 Super Sentai. Ep. 50: The Day of Battle
Farewell Space Pirates
Later on, he was seen holding his Ranger Key, and he nodded to the Gokaigers as they left. It is assumed his teammates have their powers once more as well. Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Super Hero Taisen
Goushi, alongside his team (bar DragonRanger), was among the majority of the Super Sentai heroes caught up in the "Super Hero Taisen" incident which eventually resulted in the Super Sentai teams and Kamen Riders joining forces to defeat both Dai-Zangyack and Dai-Shocker. During the final battle, he s seen fighting Hades God Dagon. Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen

Zyuohger vs. Ninninger
MammothRanger appeared with his team among the first 38 Super Sentai whom collectively empowered Wild Tousai Shuriken King in its fight against the titanic Gillmarda, granting the Ninningers and Zyuohgers the power to perform the Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst which destroyed Gillmarda with the combined power of all 40 Super Sentai.

Video game appearances
Zyuranger video game
Mammoth Ranger Goushi is the player Zyuranger in the fourth stage of the Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger video game. As with the other stages, Mammoth Ranger begins his stage wielding the standard Ranger Gun, which can be replaced with his corresponding Legendary Weapon (Mothbreaker) by finding the entrance to Barza's room in each stage. Each stage also contain ten scattered coins which will replenish the player's life gauge completely when fully collected, as well display a still of the character's mecha (Guardian Beast ZyuMammoth) and its specifications. At the end of the stage, the player will confront one of the main villains from the show, Goushi's villain is Grifforzer.

The MammothRanger Ranger Key (マンモスレンジャーレンジャーキー Manmosu Renjā Renjā Kī) is Goushi's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The MammothRanger Ranger Key was mainly used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green), who used it to fight as MammothRanger.
- When the Gokaigers became the Zyurangers while fighting Deratsueigar of the Zangyack Imperial Guard. Ep. 11: The Serious Rebellion
- When the Gokaigers became the Zyurangers while fighting against Jealousto and his Gormin Sailors. Ep. 14: Now More Road Safety
- In a deleted scene, the Gokaigers became the Zyurangers to demonstrate their powers to Ninjaman. Ep. 45: The Confused Ninja
The Zyuranger keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. Splitting up, the puppet MammothRanger was defeated as part of a group of surviving Black and Green warrior keys by Gokai Green and Super Gosei Black. Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Goushi received his key back, allowing him to become MammothRanger once more. Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
A Golem Soldier was disguised as MammothRanger as part of the Fake Zyuranger. Ep. 46: Presenting! The Vicious Squadron
Behind the scenes
Goushi is portrayed by Seiju Umon (右門 青寿 Umon Seiju) (Credited under Aohisa Takayasu (高安 青寿 Takayasu Aohisa). As MammothRanger, his suit actor was Naoki Ōfuji (大藤 直樹 Ōfuji Naoki), and Yasuhiko Imai (今井 靖彦 Imai Yasuhiko).
- Similar to Mysterious Wizard Barza's cameo as a young version of Zordon, Goushi also makes a cameo in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. A scene in which he fights (untransformed) against Dora Knight appears in "Happy Birthday, Zack", where Finster recounts how Knasty Knight made "mincemeat" out of Tarmac 3's finest warrior, and in "Green With Evil Part 2, Jason's Battle", when Finster remembers how the Sword of Darkness was acquired, Goushi appears as one of Zordon's soldiers.
- Goushi's tribe name is a common surname from the northern part of India within the Brahmin caste of Hinduism.
- Despite sharing positions as Black ranger with Zack Taylor, Goushi shares much more in common with his comrade Dan's American counterpart Billy Cranston.
- Goushi's appearance in Gokaiger makes him the final representative of a Sentai series to appear in the tribute season.
- He is also the last Sentai Legend to receive a Legend Shift.
- Goushi is the first Sentai Ranger to have an elephant motif, followed by Tusk (even though MammothRanger is based on a woolly mammoth).

My intentions are not to claim that all kids diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder are misdiagnosed, because there are many children and adults who actually have it. However there are many more that are misdiagnosed either because the problems they have are even misunderstood or just not looked into. I am one of many kids with a nonverbal learning disability that was misdiagnosed as Attention Deficit Disorder. I ended up never taking Ritalin for it, but it was something that teachers and others had fought to try to get me put on. Even though they were fighting to put me on Ritalin years earlier I wasn't diagnosed until near the end of elementary school (at least that I remember). I remember testing for it a couple times but I don't remember for sure which time I wasn't actually diagnosed. I do know that I tested out when I was either 18 or 19 when I was transitioning from high school/college to the work force with vocational rehabilitation. I know many others with nonverbal learning disability was put on Ritalin, some tested out or were taken off it when they were young. But I'm sure that there are adults who were misdiagnosed with it as kids who are still taking it.
Nonverbal learning disability is something that's common with people with neurological disorders, either something like Hydrocephalus or a Autism Spectrum Disorder. It is also common with people with Attention Deficit Disorder, but shouldn't be thought to be limited to it. Putting it very basically, it's when people have really hard time processing information when it's not in verbal form. For a much better description and for information that you would usually not find online I posted the Hydrocephalus Association's teacher guide. It explains a lot of what I had to deal with as a kid but the information wasn't available to my teachers, parents or me so it was thought that I wasn't trying or at least not trying hard enough to do some pretty basic things.
Also there are other side effects to Hydrocephalus and brain injuries in general that affect how well people can pay attention including just simply not being able to pay attention for long periods of time to certain tasks, memory and organizational skills.
I really do encourage anyone with Hydrocephalus, or especially a child with it check out the information Hydrocephalus Association has posted. The same if you're just interested in learning about it and you're a teacher with a student with it or may have one at some point. I think there's a lot more than could have been done for myself and others, if people would have had better access to the information in the past. Thanks for reading.

9 Design Rules You Should Be Breaking
As the old adage goes, "You have to know the rules to break the rules." We're here to suggest throwing out the book on design rules. From unexpected colour pairings to giving vintage a new lease on life, spaces that march to the beat of their own drum are aspirational and undeniably chic. Keep scrolling to find out which design rules we think were made to broken.
These two darks, both alike in dignity, have been embraced by the fashion set. After seeing navy-and-black power pairings crop up on the runway, the trend made its way to interiors. We love the moody, cool sophistication the union brings out. The color combination feels clever and elegant, with a subtle nod to the unexpected.
Eames Moulded Plastic Dowel-Leg Armchair ($1080)
Trevor Tondro for Lonny
Larger pieces placed within a small space can feel dramatic and confident. Instead of feeling restricted by the room size, select furniture with sculptural appeal. Solid hues and clean lines can break up the space in a way that feels edited and bold.
Freedom Manhattan Modular 2 Seat Left Hand ($3399)
While classic pieces and heirlooms often require a thoughtful approach to preserve their historic and sentimental value, we love a good redemption story. When designing on a budget, scooping up key pieces at flea markets or estate sales and reupholstering or refinishing them is a budget-friendly way to curate any space with one-of-a-kind treasures.
Ruby Star Trader Petite Manor Chair ($1700)
All of the elements of a room can maintain a harmonious voice while achieving a mix of period, style texture, and color. Achieving the perfect hierarchy of elements takes consideration and requires a risk. If you're craving a look that melds many different periods, first create a visual mood board that joins all the details together. A pinboard combining all your ideas will help establish a cohesive dialogue.
Matt Blatt Mies Van Der Rohe Brno Chair ($625)
We're making the case that some busy prints are made for small spaces. Patterns that would otherwise become garish and overwhelming in large doses take on a whole different personality in tight quarters. Balance out the drama of vibrant elements with quieter furnishings and neutral accessories.
Rug Republic Greg Pink Modern Rug ($150)
While these two vibrant, busy patterns might seem incongruous, the combination can be tasteful and downright inviting. The mix of feminine and masculine, geometric and organic is beautifully chic. Highlighting a tartan plaid with a delicate floral accent invites a charming allure.
DG37 Plaid Knit Cushion ($38)
Using deep, dark hues within a smaller space feels romantic and intimate. Use pops of lively color to break up the dark aesthetic and welcome a wink of warmth and personality.
Milan Direct Norfolk Desk ($429)
Often the most communal room in a home, a formal dining space broken up with a playful mix of seating can convey an air of laid-back ease. Livening up your seating is a simple way to invite small pops of pattern and color to an otherwise neutral space.
Eames Wire Chair with Black Bikini ($2945)
Wallflowers no more, ceilings are making a big splash. A patterned ceiling is a beautiful way to tie together the different design elements within a space, from an iconic floor to architectural details. Always bold and unexpected, this trend earns our stamp of approval for completely changing the vibe of a space.
Wall Candy Wallpaper Purple Stripe ($99)

As I was reading this morning I came across this idea of a lack of knowing about someone's past having a very negative impact on their present circumstances.
Judges 2: 6-15 - 6 After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to his own inheritance. 7 The people served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the LORD had done for Israel.Look at what happened. In verse 7 there was a group of people who saw all the great things the LORD had done for Israel. In verse 10 we see where the very next generation grew up not knowing what the LORD had done for Israel. They had not been taught about their past, their history had been ignored. As a result we see where they found themselves at the very end of verse 15 - "They were in great distress." I think this describes where we as a society are finding ourselves, in great distress. Our world is in distress, our country is in distress, our churches are in distress and our families are in distress.
8 Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of a hundred and ten. 9 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel. 11 Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD and served the Baals. 12 They forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them. They provoked the LORD to anger 13 because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths. 14 In his anger against Israel the LORD handed them over to raiders who plundered them. He sold them to their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist. 15 Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the LORD was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.
So what do we do? Do we go to our local college and sign up for a history course. I believe we need to pull out our Bibles, dust them off and start reading. Take a look at this information from the Amazon.com website:
Readership of the Bible has declined from the 1980s overall, from 73% to 59% today. The percentage of frequent readers, that is, those who read the Bible at least once a week, has decreased slightly over the last decade, from 40% in 1990 to 37% today. About one American in seven reports an involvement that goes beyond reading the Bible. Fourteen percent currently belong to a Bible study group. In terms of frequency of readership, 16% of Americans say that they read the Bible every day, 21% say they read it weekly, 12% say they read the Bible monthly, 10% say less than monthly and 41% say that they rarely or never read the Bible.
The nation of Israel was in great distress because they forgot the their history and how God moved and provided and took care of them. They forgot the commands of God and why he gave Moses the commands. We seem to be heading down the same path that the nation of Israel was headed down. We seem to be distressed but there is hope if we do what God has instructed us to do.
Deuteronomy 11: 18-21 - 18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, 21 so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.
Psalm 119: 9-16
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
10 I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
12 Praise be to you, O LORD;
teach me your decrees.
13 With my lips I recount
all the laws that come from your mouth.
14 I rejoice in following your statutes
as one rejoices in great riches.
15 I meditate on your precepts
and consider your ways.
16 I delight in your decrees;
I will not neglect your word.
Acts 17: 11 - Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.We cannot forget the past, we cannot ignore the word of God without falling into the same state of distress others have found themselves in. Start today, pick up your Bible and ask God to speak to you as you read, ask him to show you how he wants you to live, ask him to help you learn from the past so you don't make the same mistakes as those who have gone before you. Don't forget the past, don't ignore the past, learn from it.

Lady Gaga kicks off UK Tour
Photos by G.
When Lady Gaga played her "Monster Ball" show at Radio City Music Hall in New York in January 2010, she promised that she was going to scrap her entire stage setup and do something different for her upcoming European tour. She made good on that promise. She played her first show of the new tour in the UK last night and from what I've read, she changed the themes, costumes and the set list. You can compare her set list from last month with the one she's doing now.
Lady Gaga's set list on February 19, 2010 in Manchester was (courtesy of NME):
'Dance In The Dark'
'Glitter And Grease'
'Just Dance'
'Beautiful, Dirty, Rich'
'The Fame'
'Love Game'
'Boys Boys Boys'
'Money Honey'
'Brown Eyes'
'So Happy I Could Die'
'Poker Face'
'Monster's Ball'
'Bad Romance'
I wonder if she changed her merch as well. See a picture of what was for sale at the New York show after the jump.

MOVIE: ** (out of 5)
BLU-RAY EXPERIENCE: *1/2 (out of 5)
Kellan Lutz as HERCULES
Gaia Weiss as HEBE
Scott Adkins as KING AMPHITRYON
Roxanne McKee as QUEEN ALCMENE
Liam Garrigan as IPHICLES
Liam McIntyre as SOTIRIS
Rade Serbedzija as CHIRON
Studio: Summit
Directed by: Renny Harlin
With few exceptions, I'm a bit of a sucker for Renny Harlin as a director. Sure, he's made some downright awful movies like "The Covenant" and "The Exorcist: The Beginning," but most of his films have a certain amount of enjoyability to me. Yes, even movies like "12 Rounds" and "Mindhunters" are films that I have enjoyed watching.
"The Legend of Hercules" is his latest effort, which had the predictable January release date. Not only did it come out in theaters ahead of Dwayne Johnson's higher-profile hero tale, it managed to hit DVD and Blu-ray earlier as well. This might be a good thing considering the star power of Johnson would surely trump that of Kellan Lutz.
Though it had a tough time finding an audience in theaters, "The Legend of Hercules" still wins some points from me. This is probably because of my standing as a Renny Harlin apologist, but I've come to terms with that.
Kellan Lutz stars as the legendary Greek demigod, and the film tells his story from conception and birth (thanks to a cheeky Zeus getting it on with his mother). Shunned by his human father and hated by his half-brother, Hercules is torn from the woman he loves and sent on a suicide mission to Egypt. He manages to survive and become a gladiator, finding his way back to Athens to rally the people against the tyrant king and take his rightful place on the throne.
It's been a while since I studied Greek mythology, not really digging into the legends since high school. I'll be the first to point out that my knowledge of the real myths behind Hercules are pretty spotty. Sadly, I probably rely on old Steve Reeves movies on "Mystery-Science Theater 3000" more than I do Edith Hamilton's accessible seminal book about the subject.
However, that doesn't matter. This is the Hollywood version of Hercules, shot in the overused style of Zack Snyder's "300." "The Legend of Hercules" benefited a bit form the fact that it was the first of many sword-and-sandal movies in 2014, preceding "Pompeii" and "300: Rise of an Empire" in the marketplace.
As a popcorn-level action film, "The Legend of Hercules" can be fun. The 3D conversion looks pretty good on the home screen, lending itself to the effects in the battle and action sequences, particularly in the climactic battle featuring lightning whips and leaps over flames.
Don't check this movie out for the acting, however, because that part of the equation is terrible. We either have overacting from Scott Adkins as Hercules' human father King Amphityron or the vacuous delivery of Herc's girlfriend Hebe (Gaia Weiss). It's a real feat for a film to make Kellan Lutz look like a decent actor because of the poor acting around him.
Still, I doubt anyone's seeing the film for the acting, and few are even seeing it for the "Twilight" juju that Lutz brings to the screen. As a forgettable Saturday afternoon flick, "The Legend of Hercules" can work, but it's not the top of any heap.
The 3D Blu-ray set includes both the 3D and 2D versions of the film, which are interchangeable on a single disc, making it much easier to manipulate than other pushy 3D titles I've seen. There's also a Digital HD version of the film through UltraViolet.
The features are a bit thin, especially for a film that had a lot going on behind the scenes. Still, you get a commentary from Harlin and Lutz as well as a standard "The Making of The Legend of Hercules" featurette.

US President Donald Trump ordered the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group to sail to waters off the Korean peninsula in response to rising tension over the North's nuclear and missile tests, and its threats to attack the United States and its Asian allies, including Australia.
The United States has not specified where the carrier strike group is as it approaches the area.
US Vice President Mike Pence said in Sydney on Saturday it would arrive "within days" but gave no other details.
North Korea remained defiant.
"Our revolutionary forces are combat-ready to sink a US nuclear powered aircraft carrier with a single strike," the Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, said.
The paper likened the aircraft carrier to a "gross animal" and said a strike on it would be "an actual example to show our military's force".
The commentary was carried on page three of the newspaper, after a two-page feature about leader Kim Jong Un inspecting a pig farm.
North Korea will mark the 85th anniversary of the foundation of its Korean People's Army on Tuesday.
It has in the past marked important anniversaries with tests of its weapons.
North Korea has conducted five nuclear tests, two of them last year, and is working to develop nuclear-tipped missiles that can reach the United States.
North Korea says its nuclear program is for self-defence and has warned the United States of a nuclear attack in response to any aggression.
It has threatened to lay waste to South Korea and Japan, and also warned Australia about a nuclear attack if it continues to "blindly" follow the US.
The two Japanese warships, the Samidare and Ashigara, left western Japan on Friday to join the Carl Vinson and will "practice a variety of tactics" with the US strike group, the Japan Maritime Self Defence Force said.
The Japanese force did not specify where the exercises were taking place but by Sunday the destroyers could have reached an area 2500km south of Japan, which would be waters east of the Philippines.
From there, it could take three days to reach waters off the Korean peninsula.

My friend Megan gave me this recipe after she made the dish for her future husband. He loved them so much, he took the leftovers on the plane back to where he lived. I thought that if the pork chops are THAT good, I'd love to have the recipe.
I make these every now and then in the oven, but thought I could revise the recipe to fit the slow cooker.
I think the next time I put it in the slow cooker, I would reduce the water in the sauce recipe to maybe just a 1/2 cup or leave it out all together, because there was alot of juice left in the slow cooker. But the pork chops were fall-off the bone tender, really flavorful and super easy. It worked great, and I think we'll be having more of this because of it!
Megan's Pork Chops

2 pounds pork chops
1 onion sliced
1 cup ketchup
1 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Slow Cooker Directions:
Brown pork chops in skillet.
Mix ketchup and sauces. Layer pork chops in a greased 4 quart slow cooker with onion rings...

Imperial, Sask., located between Regina and Saskatoon and home to around 350 people. One of them is now a member of Canada's World Junior Team.
Connor Ingram, a third-round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning, was one of two goalies to make the cut following Canada's selection camp. Hockey Canada released its 22-man roster after an 8-0 win over the Czech Republic Wednesday night.
Ingram, a member of the Kamloops Blazers, carried a record of 14-9-1 into camp, with a 2.12 goals-against average, a .935 save percentage and two shut-outs.
It is expected that Ingram will battle with Everett Silvertips goalie Carter Hart for Canada's number one goalie spot. The only other goaltender in camp, Michael McNiven, was cut on Wednesday.
More players could potentially join the Canadian team. The National Hockey League roster freeze for the holidays is not until Monday, meaning any current NHL players could still be released for the tournament.
Canada opens the World Juniors on Boxing Day against Russia. All of Canada's games can be heard on 980 CJME and 650 CKOM.
Goaltenders: Carter Hart (Sherwoord Park, Alta./Everett, WHL), Connor Ingram (Imperial, Sask./Kamloops, WHL);
Defencemen: Jake Bean (Calgary/Calgary, WHL), Kale Clague (Lloydminster, Alta./Brandon, WHL), Dante Fabbro (Coquitlam, B.C./Boston University, HE), Noah Juulsen (Abbotsford, B.C./Everett, WHL), Jérémy Lauzon (Val-d'Or, Que./Rouyn-Noranda, QMJHL), Philippe Myers (Moncton, N.B./Rouyn-Noranda, QMJHL); and
Forwards: Anthony Cirelli (Woodbrige, Ont./Oshawa, OHL), Dillon Dubé (Cochrane, Alta./Kelowna, WHL), Pierre-Luc Dubois (Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Que./Cape Breton, QMJHL), Mathieu Joseph (Chambly, Que./Saint John, QMJHL), Tyson Jost (Kelowna, B.C./U. of North Dakota, NCHC), Michael McLeod (Mississauga, Ont./Mississauga, OHL), Taylor Raddysh (Caledon, Ont./Erie, OHL), Nicolas Roy (Amos, Que./Chicoutimi, QMJHL), Blake Speers (Sault Ste. Marie, Ont./Sault Ste. Marie, OHL).

On Smiling
People say I smile. I understand it is just an observation in some cases and in others, a little of racialization. I was thinking the other day, besides race, culture and other factors, peoples' smiles are defined by when they learned to smile. Some have the smile of a boy or a girl, others that of a teenager or grownup who modified their smile to their changing face in front of a mirror. I like people who smile, totally native.

OPF-3's conversion into Boeings C3PF to begin on September 10
<< < (3/3)
Space Pete:
These new pictures have surfaced at the KSC Media Gallery, showing all that is left of OPF-3. All the Shuttle support structures are gone, making it now a "clean floor" bay.
So I suppose I should stop calling it OPF-3, it is now most decidedly the C3PF.

Facility Being Prepared to Meet Commercial Market Needs
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL. (April 11, 2013) Space Florida has completed Phase 1 of its efforts to transform the former Orbiter Processing Facility 3 (OPF-3) at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) into a modern and commercially friendly aerospace facility, now referred to as the Commercial Crew & Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF). This project is the result of a first-of-its-kind partnership between NASA-KSC and Space Florida whereby Space Florida has secured full long-term rights to operate, maintain, and improve the C3PF under purely commercial standards and make it available to commercial tenants.
Phase 1 of the project, initiated in August 2012, was executed by BRPH and Hensel Phelps Construction Company under a $4.5 million contract with Space Florida. This initial phase consisted of a detailed design for facility modernization, as well as demolition of obsolete and abandoned Space Shuttle processing infrastructure including removal of the massive orbiter work stands in the High Bay to make room for a flexible and efficient clean-floor layout.
After carefully preparing the site and removing specialty equipment for re-use in the facility modernization, the steel work stands were removed over the course of four weeks of demolition. Over 98% of the 1,040 tons of steel, aluminum, and other material removed from the facility has been recycled. The remaining High Bay area provides roughly 30,000 sq. ft. of open floor space suitable for class 300K clean room aerospace operations, assembly, or processing. Two 30-ton bridge cranes remain in the high bay for future use.
Today, Space Florida released a time-lapse vide of the demolition efforts in the High Bay, available at the following link:
Phase 1 efforts also prepared for commercial operations the attached Low Bay, previously referred to as the Space Shuttle Main Engine Processing Facility. In this area, work stands were removed that previously supported refurbishment of Space Shuttle engines, making way for an additional 30,000 sq. ft. of open-floor clean room operations. Efforts also included minor preparations in the 48,000 sq. ft. processing area and 30,000 sq ft. of second floor office area that join the High Bay and Low Bay, as well as the Processing Control Center, a nearby 99,000 sq. ft. 3-story raised floor office building.
By leveraging existing infrastructure such as OPF 3, we are able to bring a significant competitive advantage to the marketplace and make it even more attractive to conduct commercial space business here in Florida, said Space Florida President and CEO, Frank DiBello. The inherent structure and capabilities of these types of facilities allow us to pass through to commercial tenants an estimated 30% savings under alternative facilities market price, without regard for the unique and advantageous location, DiBello added.
The C3PF is ideally situated for commercial use, with direct access to the 15,000 ft runway at the Shuttle Landing Facility which lies less than two miles away, as well as close proximity to all commercial, NASA, and Air Force launch pads located at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Through the investment the State of Florida is making in this and other facilities, and by marketing them for commercial use, we are sending a strong message to industry that Florida is serious about attracting and retaining a robust commercial space industry DiBello said. This project is an excellent example of our unique ability to re-purpose underutilized federal facilities, and give them a new life for commercial operations.
Space Florida plans to continue market-focused construction efforts on the C3PF this spring, progressing toward a fully modernized aerospace facility that is poised to meet the demands of the growing commercial space sector.
Boeing finalizes agreement for Kennedy Space Center facility
--- Quote ---Boeing has finalized an agreement with Space Florida to use a processing facility at NASAs Kennedy Space Center to build the Crew Space Transportation (CST)-100 spacecraft, an important step toward restoring the United States ability to launch humans into space. Pictured here is the low bay of the former Orbiter Processing Facility-3. Renamed the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF), the building will be modernized to meet requirements to build the Boeing CST-100 capsule.

Full Press Release
--- Quote ---[...]Boeing and Space Florida continue our partnership in repurposing excess NASA facilities for future use by Boeings Commercial Crew Program, said Frank Dibello, president and CEO, Space Florida. With phase one complete, we look forward to finishing the next phase of facility modification.
Space Florida is the states independent agency for aerospace development. Phase one of the C3PF renovation was completed in February; phase two began in September with improvements including technology upgrades to the environmental and electrical systems and reflooring the facility. Boeing expects to move into C3PF in spring 2014.[...]

I had some time today with the Sony Nex-6 to test out the High ISO capabilities of the New 16.1MP Exmor APS-C Size CMOS Sensor. I covered from ISO 100 all the way till ISO 25600 in both Jpeg and Raw!!
I'll let you be the judge and hold my comments about the high ISO performance to the closing remarks area 😉 I used a tri-pod, self timer, and custom WB, so the colors should be fairly accurate and edges sharp. I also exported as jpeg's with No Post Processing at all other than re-size for the web and 100% center crops. Make sure you click on the photos to see the 100% Version as they are around 1200px and highly detailed.
I also included the un-cropped versions of the High ISO 12800 and 25600 photos. This way you can see all the colors and the picture as a whole if your curious.
Click on the Photos for the 100% 1200PX version!!!
|Sony Nex-6 ISO Test Photos – Raw
|Sony Nex-6 ISO Test Photos – Jpeg
Closing Remarks
As you can clearly see from these High ISO Sample photo as, the Nex-6 performs incredible well in my opinion. All the way to ISO 6400 and even ISO 12800 is possible usable! At ISO 25600 the color starts to shift and the noise is very noticeable. I would still use it for BW though if need be as the noise often works well for that type of photography.
Very impressed with these results and the RAW files look incredible in Lightroom 4. These are the first Raw files I've taken believe it or not. I will be shooting raw from now on most likely except for the special modes that require jpeg of course.
Nex-6 (body only) ~$848 US @ BHPhotoVideo >> | Amazon >> | Adorama >> | Ebay

But with auditions for future seasons of the race coming up soon, this seems a good time to respond to some of the questions and comments I get from readers about how to prepare for The Amazing Race if you are lucky enough to be selected for the cast.Having invested the time and effort to participate in the TV show, Jamil and Idries should have paid more attention to some of the recurring themes of the scripted challenges:*Water:* Beaches fulfill vacation travel fantasies and stereotypes, and underwater challenges provide an excuse for swimsuit photography of racers who have been cast, in part, for sex appeal. Almost every season of The Amazing Race has included swimming and some sort of diving or underwater challenge. Racers haven't usually had to know anything about sailing, but there has almost always been a task involving some sort of kayak, canoe, or other local variety of paddle-boat. Be prepared to swim a few laps and free dive to the bottom of the deep end of a pool, to use a snorkel, to get in and out and balance in an unstable small boat (a sit-on-top plastic kayak would be good practice), and to paddle and steer using both a double-bladed kayak paddle and a single-bladed canoe paddle.*Heights:* There's always been at least one, usually more than one, challenge each season designed to provoke fear of heights: skydiving, bungee jumping, zip-lining, rappelling, etc. Most of these don't require much skill, but it might be worth investing in a lesson in rappelling, where practice can make a considerable difference in your rate of ascent or descent.*Bicycles:* Phil Keoghan, the master-of-ceremonies/co-producer of The Amazing Race, is a bicyclist. Almost every season has included at least one task in which the racers have had to ride bicycles. Often, what catches Phil's eye and gets included in the race is some idiosyncratic type of local cargo or utility bicycle. Be prepared to ride a heavy, unfamiliar, somewhat ill-fitting bicycle with an awkward and/or unbalanced load (a beach cruiser with a bag of potatoes in one side basket, for example) for five miles on a bumpy, hilly dirt road. Don't forget the possibility that you might be bicycling on the left side of the road!*Driving:* Nothing can really prepare you for Third-World driving (and you probably shouldn't attempt it anyway). But contestants on The Amazing Race can count on, and should practice, driving (1) a vehicle with a manual transmission (stick shift or maybe even column shift), (2) on the left-hand side of the road (some people find it easier than others to get used to driving on the "wrong" side, so take any opportunity to try it), and (3) the largest vehicle you can practice on, since on the race you might have to drive a truck, camper-van, etc.*Eating:* There's almost always an eating challenge involving either something that looks, smells, or sounds revolting form its description, or eating an excessive amount of something that would be palatable in a smaller quantity. For the racers as for real-world travellers, the key thing to keep in mind is that if it's being served to you as food, it's probably not poison -- even if you can't tell (and maybe don't want to know) whether it's animal, vegetable, or mineral. Don't think about what it is. Just eat it.In real-world travel, "caveat emptor". You can and should make it a point to pause before you commit to any potentially hazardous activity. Just because it's being offered by an organized, "legitimate" seeming operator, or "everybody's doing it", doesn't mean it's regulated, inspected, or -- most importantly -- safe. If you aren't sure, don't do it.On "The Amazing Race", you can't afford to hesitate. The challenges are designed and supervised by professional stunt-men and women,and vetted by Hollywood liability lawyers. Cast members have to sign releases, but the producers don't want the bad publicity of someone getting killed on the show. Production-team medics are standing by. Some of the challenges are intrinsically dangerous, but if you aren't committed to doing anything you've seen on any prior season of the race, without hesitation, don't apply for the cast.Some couples plan to have one member of the team do all the tasks that require some particular skill. It makes sense to know your relative strengths and weaknesses, so that you don't have to spend time thinking about which of you is the better stick-shift driver, or which of you is better at steering and should take the rear seat of the double canoe. But you should both be able to do all of the things I've listed above. You can't always tell, when you chose which team member will take on a challenge, what skills it will require. Some challenges have to be performed by both members of the team, or by whichever team member didn't do the previous challenge. Not infrequently, one team member has to do a task because their partner is ill or injured.For the first few seasons, the producers of the TV show relied on self-produced videos submitted by pairs of would-be cast members. They soon realized, however, that some couples who looked good on camera weren't good at filming themselves. So they began holding "casting calls" in targeted cities, where a film crew from the local CBS affiliate sets up for the day, usually at a shopping mall, and teams can line up to have their 2-minute audition filmed.On Saturday, March 9th, the producers of "The Amazing Race" are holding one their periodic open auditions and screen tests in San Francisco for future seasons of the race. A Channel 5 TV crew will be at the Marmot outdoor clothing and gear store (165 Post Street near Union Square) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Get there early to minimize the wait (and to get a chance to see how other applicants pitch themselves). Bring your completed application forms, and practice your audition performance beforehand. It's an assembly line, and if others are waiting you won't have a chance for multiple takes of your screen test.Those whose audition tapes are picked out by the "Amazing Race" casting team will be invited to Los Angeles for follow-up interviews and further auditions. You might hear from them right away, or not until many seasons after you first apply.CBS and the producers of "The Amazing Race" have always thought of it primarily as a "relationship" show first, a travel show only second. You can tell that from the questions they suggest that applicants answer during their auditions:1. Why would you make a great team to win The Amazing Race?2. What do you hope to improve or change in your current relationship?3. What issues do you need to work on?4. How much have you traveled together?5. What team do you most relate to from the past season?

Blow to ISBA as Ofcom approves joint sales
The Incorporated Society of British Advertisers (ISBA) has expressed "disappointment" with Ofcom's decision to axe rules banning the joint selling of airtime.
The move paves the way for Channel 4, BSkyB and Five to sell their airtime jointly, subject to approval from the competition authorities.
An ISBA spokesman says: "We are a bit disappointed about the decision on the joint selling of airtime sales rules. It is a concern of ours that lifting the ban will leave the way open for further consolidation of airtime sales."
Ofcom launched a consultation on the Independent Television Commission's airtime sales rules following the decision to allow Carlton and Granada to merge and form one sales house with more than 50 per cent of TV advertising revenue. The rules had prevented media owners with a share of TV advertising revenue greater than five per cent from jointly selling airtime.
Industry insiders say that it is unlikely that Channel 4, BSkyB or Five will immediately make moves to consolidate their sales operations and even if there was any further consolidation, it would be in the form of a combination of two of these three players or smaller TV sales operations.
A Channel 4 spokesman says: "We believe competition law will be an adequate defence against market dominance. However, we have no plans at present to change the basis on which we sell airtime."
Ofcom has also decided that conditional selling and the withholding of advertising airtime by analogue terrestrial channels will continue to be prohibited.

Libyan Unity Government Extends Control Over Tripoli Ministries
On Monday, 25 April, Libya's U.N.-backed unity government took control of a number of ministries in Tripoli including the ministries of foreign affairs and local government. This push to extend control over over the capital, as reported by Reuters, is another step to establish the legitimacy of the GNA. However, the HoR has not held a vote with a quorum to make the GNA constitutional. This still tarnishes the GNA in the eyes of many Libyans and calls into question its legitimacy.
Speaking at an event to mark the handover of the foreign ministry, Mohamed al-Ammari, a member of the new government's leadership, or Presidential Council, said the transfer of power was "going well".
The other ministries that have been handed over to the Government of National Accord (GNA) were housing and public utilities, transport, social affairs, local government, youth and sports, and Islamic affairs, he told Reuters.
The planning, labor, and education ministries would be handed over in the next few days, he added.

Vans Releases New Colorways for Dover Street Market's New London Location
In celebration of Dover Street Market's new London Haymarket location and just in time for Vans' 50th anniversary celebrations, the two brands have collaborated for this unique reinterpretation of the Old Skool and Sk8-Hi silhouettes. Both models have been decked out in the original black-and-white checkerboard pattern on the side panels, slightly upgraded with the subtle incorporation of the Dover Street Market logo. Otherwise, suede paneling adorns the toe, vamp, tongue and heel of the shoe. Head on over to DSM's London store now to buy a pair for yourself.
