MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota's top players made sure the Lynx didn't come up short again.
Maya Moore and Seimone Augustus both scored 22 points, and the Lynx rebounded from their worst performance of the season to beat the Tulsa Shock 88-79 on Sunday night.
Lindsay Whalen had 19 points and nine assists for Minnesota (6-2), which has won four of five. Rebekkah Brunson had 11 points and 11 rebounds.
The Lynx have beaten Tulsa 13 straight times.
"We took a step forward," Moore said.
In a 28-point loss on Friday at Los Angeles, Augustus, Moore, Whalen and Brunson combined for just 11 points on 5 of 22 shooting. They were a combined 25-for-41 on Sunday.
"We wanted to put our foot down and get back to what we do," Augustus said. "We got the shots we wanted, we crashed the boards. We did what we were supposed to do in L.A."
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve was impressed with the way her team responded.
"They came back and played much, much more like the Lynx players that we've seen," she said.
Moore had 15 points in the first half, Augustus added 14, and Whalen 11 as Minnesota shot 60.7 percent and took a 49-40 lead into halftime. The Lynx finished shooting 53.3 percent. Tulsa shot 42 percent.
"Just pick your poison with that team," said Shock guard Skylar Diggins, who tied a season high with 11 assists.
Whalen had four points, and Moore hit a 3 in the closing seconds of the second quarter to cap an 11-2 run and put the Lynx in command.
"This game was our best finish to quarters, and we really pride ourselves on end-of-quarter execution," Reeve said. "Each play that we had in the last 3 or 4 minutes came off our defense, running our twofer situations."
Moore also made a 3-pointer in the waning seconds of the third quarter to give the Lynx a 69-55 lead.
The Shock (3-8) didn't get closer than nine points the rest of the way in losing for the first time in three games.
Glory Johnson scored 24 points and had eight rebounds to lead Tulsa. Former Lynx guard Candice Wiggins had 14, and Nicole Powell had 11, including three 3-pointers.
"That's a championship level team and I thought we fought them right down until the end," Shock coach Gary Kloppenburg said. "We got a steal and had a chance to make it eight late in the game. Then, all of a sudden, the thing where you make a mistake and they capitalize happened."
Reeve had a sense before the game that Whalen would be Minnesota's sparkplug.
"We spend a fair amount of time before the game talking, re-emphasizing game plan areas, and I thought she had a determination about her in the tone of voice and her approach," Reeve said. "I thought she willed our team to play the way that we played in that game.
"She was determined to make things happen and create more of a tempo for our team because we thought we got away from that in the last game."
Whalen, who attempted 14 free throws, shrugged off her coach's praise.
"I just wanted to come out and be aggressive from the start," she said. "Maya and Seimone hitting shots were huge, and me getting to the line was big for us. All the things really came through for us."

While people across the country clearly disagreed on the marriage referendum, this is an interesting video from supporters of same-sex marriage objecting to the campaign for abortion in Ireland.
This video was produced by a group of college students and friends, in response to the one-sided campaigns being waged by Student Union leaders and Amnesty Ireland against the 8th Amendment – Ireland's Life Equality Amendment.

Come To Me Lyrics
Come to Me all you who are weary and burdenedAnd I will give you restTake My yoke upon you and learn from MeFor I am gentle and humble in heartFor My yoke is easyAnd My burden is lightBehind the Song:"Every month, my 'D-group' would read a chapter from Rob Bell's book Velvet Elvis and discuss it. After reading each chapter, I would write down corresponding passages in the Bible to study, as well as a verse to commit to memory. The verse that I chose for that day was Matthew 11:28-30. Rob Bell's chapter for this particular month was called "Yoke," and it explained how, in Jesus' time, Rabbis had teachings or perspectives that were, by default, different interpretations of Scripture rather than other Rabbi's teachings. Each Rabbi's teaching was called his 'yoke.' Up until then, I thought that a 'yoke' was simply some sort of harness for oxen. Now it makes even more sense when I consider that Jesus said His yoke was easy. I had put off memorizing the verse and was facing the embarrassing prospect of having to admit I had not properly memorized it. So, I pulled the verse up on my phone (isn't technology great!) and made up a melody to the verse to help me remember it, and it became this song." - Aaron Shust

2014 Dana Crawford Award Honoree
On May 14, 2014, Colorado Preservation, Inc. honored Ann Alexander Pritzlaff for her passion, dedication and enthusiasm for the preservation movement and her nearly 40 years of achievement in historic preservation.
Dana Crawford Award 2014: Ann Alexander Pritzlaff from Havey Productions on Vimeo.
For four decades, Ann Alexander Pritzlaff has been a national leader in the field of historic preservation. With an M.S. in Historic Preservation from the University of Vermont, Ms. Pritzlaff has dedicated her career to preserving historic structures and landscapes, creating educational programs for youth, helping to instigate Colorado's statewide heritage tourism program, and coordinating state and national preservation policy actions.
Locally, career highlights include serving as State Historic Preservation Officer in Arizona, and appointments by Colorado Governor Bill Owens, Governor Bill Ritter and Governor John Hickenlooper to the State Historic Preservation Review Board. On a national level, Ms. Pritzlaff was appointed by President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama to serve as an Historic Preservation Expert on the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, where she also served as chair of the Preservation Initiatives Committee and on the Executive Committee. Ann currently lends her leadership as a board member of History Colorado where she chairs the Archaeology and Historic Preservation Committee and the State Preservation Plan Committee and serves as a member of the Executive Committee.
In addition to her leadership appointments, Ann is known for her grassroots work, successfully incubating preservation programs including the Preserve America Initiative, the Preserve America Youth Summits, HistoriCorps™, Volunteers in Preservation™, and Hands On Preservation Experience, HOPE™. Ms. Pritzlaff is also a Founder of Colorado Preservation, Inc., and the Saving Places Conference, an event widely recognized as the leading statewide historic preservation conference in the nation. From the San Luis Valley to the Eastern Plains, Ann is advocating for historic preservation in a way that makes tremendous sense for our time.
"If you look at Colorado's landscape, so many different opportunities exists and Ann has been one of those people who has really focused attention on both the metropolitan and also the rural and regional areas where attention needed to be brought" says longtime friend and colleague Ed Nichols, President and CEO of History Colorado and State Historic Preservation Officer. "Looking at southeastern Colorado…and northwestern Colorado where the voice might not be as strong locally, Ann gets involved and the voice gets louder."
Former Colorado Governor Bill Owens remarked "When you think about downtown Denver and you think about revitalization of what we've come to enjoy all through downtown Denver, you really think about Dana Crawford and so it's in that spirit that we're honoring Ann Pritzlaff tonight…They are both selfless, they have both done so much for our community and for our state and so I think Ann is the prefect recipient to keep that Dana Crawford ethos alive." Congratulations, Ann, on this momentous occasion!

Current challenges have brought many to re-examine the role that data quality and data use can play in the organizations and communities that we work and live in. In the face of these challenges, some are getting back to the basics, and others are looking to innovation and creativity to pave the way.
Today, more than ever, quality has a role to play. Whether traditional or new, conservative of inventive, quality is critical.
The conference will bring together some main players from the South African Government, NGO's, consultancy firms and corporations; specialist who are able to transfer experiences and ideas into practice. Around 100 participants are expected to attend
The main aim of the conference is to develop a framework for a coherent data quality strategy for the Department of health in which data quality activities are based on relevant industry standards, and will serve as a platform to support the newly formed data quality auditing and training accreditation scheme under ISO 8000
Four practical workshops, focused on the integration and collaborative knowledge sharing, will run over the course of the two days. Participants are encouraged to bring any and all individual or organizational instruments/materials/training and or relevant information to actively share in each of the four technical workshops.

SACRAMENTO -- Supporters of Proposition 37, the genetically engineered food labeling initiative, are saying that the FBI is investigating the No campaign for allegedly fraudulently using the seal of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in a campaign mailer.
Lawyers for the Yes campaign said they were contacted by telephone by a Sacramento-based FBI agent, identified as Jason Jones, as part of an initial fact-finding involving a complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Justice two weeks ago.
The Yes campaign's assertions immediately were knocked down by the U.S. Attorney's office for the Eastern District of California in Sacramento.
"Neither the FBI nor this office has a pending investigation related to this matter," said a statement released Friday morning by spokeswoman Lauren Horwood.

Fewer farms dotting Tri-State area
By BRENDAN KIRBY
Staff Writer
More than 600 farms disappeared from the seven-county Tri-State area between 1982 and 1992 and local agricultural experts predict U.S. Census figures for 1997 will show a continuation of that trend.
A drought this summer increased the strain on dairy farmers already struggling from stagnant milk prices and development pressures. Analysts said many farmers have been pushed to the brink of extinction.

Be Here to Love Me: A Film About Townes Van Zandt
DIRECTED BY - Margaret Brown
The Ultimate songwriter's songwriter, Townes Van Zandt had a profound impact on generations of muscicians from Bob Dylan to Norah Jones, yet he avioded the commercial success enjoyed by many of his fans. Many musicologists think he was more influential than Dylan
>b> Full Synopsis: His influence can be found deeply etched into the work of musicians from many different generations, but his name is barely known outside a close-knit circle of musicians, music fans, and critics. This film goes some way to paying a long-overdue debt to the late genre-hopping singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt, with rare footage and warm testimonials from the likes of Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, and a hilarious, tequila-swigging Guy Clark combining to tell Van Zandt's remarkable tale.

A pattern I use when building Web APIs is to create commands to represent an API operation and models to represent resources or results. We share these "common" objects with our .NET client so we can be sure we're using the same parameters names/types.
Here's an excerpt from Fabrik's API for creating a project:
public HttpResponseMessage Post(int siteId, AddProjectCommand command) { var project = new CMS.Domain.Project( session.GetSiteId(siteId), command.Title, command.Slug, command.Summary, command.ContentType, command.Content, command.Template, command.Tags, command.Published, command.Private); session.Store(project); var model = CreateProjectModel(project); var link = Url.Link(RouteNames.DefaultRoute, new { controller = "projects", siteId = siteId, id = project.Id.ToIntId() }); return Created(model, new Uri(link)); }
We also use commands for GET operations that have multiple parameters such as search endpoints. So instead of:
public IActionResult GetProjects(string searchTerm = null, int page = 1, int pageSize = 10) { }
We have a GetProjectsCommand:
public class GetProjectsCommand { public string SearchTerm { get; set; } [MinValue(1, ErrorMessage = "Page must be greater than 0.")] public int Page { get; set; } = 1; public int PageSize { get; set; } = 20; }
This provides a single place to encapsulate our default values and validation rules, keeping our controllers nice and lean.
To bind complex types to query strings in ASP.NET Web API we had to change the parameter binding rules. This is because the default was to bind complex types from the HTTP Request body.
When implementing the above pattern in ASP.NET Core I was pleasantly surprised to see that the following worked out of the box:
// GET: api/values [HttpGet] public IEnumerable<string> Get(GetValuesCommand command) { }
I thought that perhaps the framework detected that this was a HTTP GET request and therefore bound the parameter values from the query string instead.
Actually this is not the case - in ASP.NET Core, complex types are not bound from the request body by default. Instead you have to opt-in to body-based binding with the FromBodyAttribute:
// POST api/values [HttpPost] public void Post([FromBody]AddValueCommand command) { }
This seems an odd default given that (in my experience) binding complex types from the request body is far more common.
In any case, we can customise the default model-binding behaviour by providing a convention:
public class CommandParameterBindingConvention : IActionModelConvention { public void Apply(ActionModel action) { if (action == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(action)); } foreach (var parameter in action.Parameters) { if (typeof(ICommand).IsAssignableFrom((parameter.ParameterInfo.ParameterType))) { parameter.BindingInfo = parameter.BindingInfo ?? new BindingInfo(); parameter.BindingInfo.BindingSource = BindingSource.Body; } } } }
Which is registered like so:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddMvc(options => { options.Conventions.Add(new CommandParameterBindingConvention()); }); }
This convention checks to see if the parameter type implements ICommand (a marker interface I created) and if so, instructs the framework to bind the values for this parameter from the request body.
All I have to do then is update my command with this interface:
public class AddValueCommand : ICommand { public string Value { get; set; } }
Then I can drop the unnecessary [FromBody] attribute:
// POST api/values [HttpPost] public void Post(AddValueCommand command) { }
Have you ever worked really hard on graphics for your site only to find later that someone has stolen them as their own. You can help encrypt and protect your site with the following codes. No right click block is 100% effective, but they will help against novices.
In the real world, sometimes a developer needs to restrict a basic facility such as cut, copy and paste on an entire web page but not on a specific control. At that time you will need some easy way to stop these kinds of facilities on the page but not create code in every control to disable these facilities.Suppose you have 20 "TextBox" controls in your page and you want to restrict the cut, copy and paste in all the textboxes, then you do not need to write the disable code in each TextBox. In this scenario, you need to just write the disable code only in the "body" tag.To explain such implementation, I will use the following procedure.
Create an ASP.Net Empty Website named "My Project".
Add a new web form named "Default.aspx" into it.
Add 2 "TextBox" controls to the page named "Default.aspx" .
On Cut: By this, you can disable the "Cut " facility in both of the "TextBox" Controls.Syntax: oncut= "return false";
On Copy: By this, you can disable the "Copy " facility in both of the "TextBox" controls.Syntax: oncopy= "return false";
On Paste: By this, you can disable the "Cut" facility in both of the "TextBox" controls.Syntax: onpaste= "return false";
To disable the All (Cut, Copy and Paste) in the entire page:

Here I will explain how to count number of records in xml file in C# using ASP.NET 4.5 Cloud Hosting Spain or how to count number of nodes in xml file in asp.net using C# and VB.NET or count number of elements in xml file in C#.
In previous articles I explained insert xml data to sql table using stored procedure, Bind xml data to dropdown/gridview in asp.net, create online poll system with percentage graphs in asp.net and many articles relating to xml, Gridview, SQL, jQuery,asp.net, C#,VB.NET. Now I will explain how to count number of records in xml file in C# using ASP.NET.
To count number of nodes from xml file we need to write the code like as shown below
XmlDocument readDoc = new XmlDocument(); readDoc.Load(MapPath("Sample.xml")); int count = readDoc.SelectNodes("CommentsInformation/Comments").Count; lblcount.InnerHtml = "Number of Records: "+ count;
If you want to see it in complete example we need to write the code like as shown below  <title></title>   <form id="form1" runat="server">

  Name:	  <asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

  Email:	  <asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

	  <asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" OnClick="btnSubmit_Click" Text="Submit" />

 </form>
After that add XML file to your application and give name as "Sample.xml" then add root element in xml file otherwise it will through error. Here I added CommentInformation as root element in XML file.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <CommentsInformation> </CommentsInformation>
After that add this namespace in codebehind
C# Codeusing System; using System.Xml;After that add below code in code behind
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { } protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument(); xmldoc.Load(Server.MapPath("Sample.xml")); XmlElement parentelement = xmldoc.CreateElement("Comments"); XmlElement name = xmldoc.CreateElement("Name"); name.InnerText = txtName.Text; XmlElement email = xmldoc.CreateElement("Email"); email.InnerText = txtEmail.Text; parentelement.AppendChild(name);parentelement.AppendChild(email);xmldoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(parentelement); xmldoc.Save(Server.MapPath("Sample.xml")); XmlDocument readDoc = new XmlDocument(); readDoc.Load(MapPath("Sample.xml")); int count = readDoc.SelectNodes("CommentsInformation/Comments").Count; lblcount.InnerHtml = "Number of Records: "+ count; }
VB.NET CodeImports System.Xml Partial Class vbcode Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) End Sub Protected Sub btnSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Dim xmldoc As New XmlDocument() xmldoc.Load(Server.MapPath("Sample.xml")) Dim parentelement As XmlElement = xmldoc.CreateElement("Comments") Dim name As XmlElement = xmldoc.CreateElement("Name") name.InnerText = txtName.Text Dim email As XmlElement = xmldoc.CreateElement("Email") email.InnerText = txtEmail.Text parentelement.AppendChild(name) parentelement.AppendChild(email) xmldoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(parentelement) xmldoc.Save(Server.MapPath("Sample.xml")) Dim readDoc As New XmlDocument() readDoc.Load(MapPath("Sample.xml")) Dim count As Integer = readDoc.SelectNodes("CommentsInformation/Comments").Count lblcount.InnerHtml = "Number of Records: " & count End Sub End Class
In total ASP.NET provide 5 + 1(ValidationSummary) validation control:
will discuss about all the control in detail, but before that i will elaborate the attributes that are common to all the controls.
1. Display - This attribute is used to display the error message. It takes 3 options
In short static and dynamic do exactly the same thing. Difference between them is that in case of static Style for the  is
style="visibility: hidden; color: red;"
and in case of Dynamic Style for span is
style="display: none; color: red;"
2. ControlToValidate - This attribute is used to get the control on which validation is to applied 3. EnableClientScript - Boolean value to indicate whether client- side validation is enabled or not. Default value is true. 4. IsValid - Boolean value to indicate whether the control mention is ControlToValidate attribute is valid or not. Default value is true. 5. Enabled - Boolean valued to indicate if Validation control is enabled or not. Default value is true. 6. ErrorMessage - This is the text message that will be displayed in the validation summary.
RequiredFieldValidator Control As the name suggest, this validation control make sure that control mention in ControlToValidate cannot be empty. <asp:TextBox ID="txtSampleTextBox" runat="server"> </asp:TextBox> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="reqfldValidator" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtSampleTextBox" Enabled="true" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="Required" ToolTip="Required"> *</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
CompareValidator Control This Control is used to compare the value or one control to the value of another control or to a fixed value. One catch here is that validation pass if both the fields are empty. To handle that one require to apply Required field validator along with CompareValidator. <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" /> <asp:TextBox ID="txtTextBox2" runat="server" /> <asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtTextBox1" ControlToCompare="txtTextBox2" Display="Dynamic" ValidationGroup="MyGroup" ToolTip="No Match">*</asp:CompareValidator> ControlToCompare - This take the Id of control with which comparison is being done. Comparison can be made on following data types: Currency, Date, Double, Integer and String RangeValidator As the name suggest this control is used to make sure that data entered by the user fall within the specified range. Again as for Compare validator validation will pass if input control is empty. Use RequiredFieldValidator to fix this issue. <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ValidationGroup="MyGroup" /> <asp:RangeValidator ID="RangeValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtTextBox1" MaximumValue="800" MinimumValue="5" ValidationGroup="MyGroup" Display="Dynamic" Type="String" ToolTip="Error">*</asp:RangeValidator> A little explanation for this validator. It has a Type attribute that signifies the datatype for Range. In above example datatype is string with MinimumValue="5" and MaximumValue="100". The validation goes like it will accept all the value that satisfy the regex ^[5-8]+$. A little confusing but will get clear after 2 3 reading.
RegularExpressionValidator This is one of my favorite validator control. This control provide maximum level of flexibility to the developer and almost all the validator control function can be achieved using this validator control. RegularExpressionValidator control has attribute ValidationExpression that is used to specify the regular expression that is used to validate the input control.
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ValidationGroup="MyGroup" /> <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtTextBox1" ValidationGroup="MyGroup" Display="Dynamic" ValidationExpression="^[5-8]+$" ToolTip="Error">*</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
CustomValidator Control: Custom validator control is used to capture the validation that cannot be handled by the validator controls provided by ASP.NET. Here user is at the freedom to define his own custom method, both Client side and Server side. <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ValidationGroup="MyGroup" /> <asp:CustomValidator runat="server" ClientValidationFunction="YouClientValidationFunction" ControlToValidate="txtTextBox1" ID="cstmValidatorControl" OnServerValidate="ServerSideMethod" ValidateEmptyText="true" ToolTip="Error">*</asp:CustomValidator> ValidateEmptyText is a boolean attribute that if set to true, the input control will be validated even if it is empty. ClientValidationFunction contains name of client validation function. OnServerValidate contains name of server validation function.
ValidationSummary Control This control is used to display the list of all the validation error that has occurred on the page. The error message displayed is the one set for the ErrorMessage attribute of the validation control. No error message will be displayed if this attribute is not set. <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ValidationGroup="MyGroup" /> <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtTextBox1" ValidationGroup="MyGroup" Display="Dynamic" ValidationExpression="^[5-8]+$" ErrorMessage="Error" ToolTip="Error">*</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="Button1" ValidationGroup="MyGroup" Text="Submit" /> <asp:ValidationSummary runat="server" ID="ValidationSummary1" ShowMessageBox="true" ValidationGroup="MyGroup" ShowSummary="true" DisplayMode="BulletList" />
DisplayMode has three options List, BulletList and SingleParagraph ShowMessageBox when set to true will display the error as a alert popup ShowSummary will display the error on the page. By default it is true.
Page level caching for ASP.NET 4.5 web forms and MVC websites is pretty awesome, because it allows you to implement something that's quite complex; multilevel caching, without having to really understand too much about caching, or even write much code. But what if you want to clear a cached ASP.net page before it's due to expire.
What page caching aims to achieve
When developers turn to caching pages in their ASP.net websites, usually it's because of one thing; the need for speed. When our code bases start to require continual requests to a data store, be it disk or database, that doesn't change too much overtime, caching is usually the first hammer we turn to to minimise fetching from slower stores. ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.Net MVC both make this a pretty trivial thing to do by hiding the complexity of cache providers behind simple attributes to either your .aspx pages or controller actions:
WebForms page output caching example:
<%@ OutputCache Duration="300" VaryByParam="productId" %> ASP.net MVC controller caching: [OutputCache(Duration = 300, VaryByParam = "prodId")] public ActionResult ProductDetails(string prodId) { … } }
The above is awesome because it's simplicity, but you'll notice one key thing here: I've set my cache expiry to 300 seconds. This is primarily because I want the content to pull from the source now and then just in case something has changed. I've used 300 seconds, but really the time may be inconsequential – I've just set it to an arbitrary number that I deemed would meet my needs.
This doesn't really use the cache as well as it could be used in many scenarios, the primary one being during a period where my site isn't being updated, and the content only changes once every few days/weeks/months. The .NET tooling attempts to allow for these situations by having support for providers like the SQLCacheDependency you can add to your application. But the SQL cache provider or even a CustomCacheProvider don't give you the fine grain control you really want: being able to programmatically remove page, control, action or child-action level cached pages. Like most great things: simple and elegant ASP.net does support this out of the box – you just don't hear about it much. You can tell the runtime to remove cached pages and controls simply by using a very simple recursive API that refers to it's relative URL.
// remove any webforms cached item with the wildcard default.aspx* HttpResponse.RemoveOutputCacheItem("/default.aspx"); // just remove the webforms product page with the prodId=1234 param HttpResponse.RemoveOutputCacheItem("/product.aspx?prodId=1234"); // remove my MVC controller action's output HttpResponse.RemoveOutputCacheItem(Url.Action("details", "product", new { id = 1234 }));
You'll notice for the MVC page's cache reference I used the Url.Action helper, and I recommend this, as it uses the same MVC routing as the cache provider – usually taking the first route found. Using the Url.Action helper means your provided Url follows the same path in reverse to that of the cache provider. For MVC child actions there is currently no way that I know of clearing individual control's caches. MVC controller child actions are stored in the ChildActionCache. To clear the entire child action cache you can do the following:
OutputCacheAttribute.ChildActionCache = new MemoryCache("NewRandomStringNameToClearTheCache");
Obviously this is a pretty aggressive approach, but if you would like to do this in a more granular fashion, try the open source project MVC Doughnut caching instead.
This is very simple to implement in ASP.NET 4.5 Hosting. But, there are possibilities to get problems in exporting to excel from grid view. When you bind data to gridview and write some logic to export to excel then it will not be enough. We have to check or write some additional logic which will help us to solve the problems. Below is the explanation for all problems we may get in the complete process along with detailed solution. You may encounter below errors when you try to implement the export to excel for gridview.
Control of type "GridView" must be placed inside of the form tag with runat="server" This is very well known error to ASP.NET developers and by seeing it, we think that the control is not inside the form with runat server. But this is not correct. This error will come even if we put the GridView inside form with runat server. The reason is, in the export to excel logic we are calling RenderControl() method of GridView. So, to render it without any issues we have to override the "VerifyRenderingInServerForm" in our code. Below is the syntax of the event. Add this to the c# code in code behind file. Remember this event is a Page event means this method you should place in ASPX page. If you are using user control to implement this export to excel logic then below are the ways to go.
1. If your user control is using by less than 3-4 pages then go to each and every page and add this event to the page.
2. If your user control is using by more than 5 pages then the best solution is to create a base page [Which inherits from System.Web.UI.Page class] and all your ASPX pages should inherit from this base page.public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control)
{ //Confirms that an HtmlForm control is rendered for the specified ASP.NET //server control at run time. }
Now, after we added the event to page, the error will go away for sure. Even when you add the above code/event to the page, this is not enough if you have the paging, sorting enabled on gridview. If you enable paging or sorting then you encounter the below error.
"RegisterForEventValidation can only be called during Render();"
This error is coming because we are doing paging and sorting. If no paging or sorting enabled this error will not come. To resolve this error, please follow below steps.
1. In your export to excel button click event, first disable the paging, sorting on gridview and do data bind. 2. Call export to excel logic. 3. Re-enable paging, sorting on gridview and databind.
Below is the logic we have to use in export to excel button click event.
gvReport.AllowPaging = false; gvReport.AllowSorting = false; gvReport.DataBind(); ExportToExcel();//Method to use export to excel. gvReport.AllowPaging = true; gvReport.AllowSorting = false; gvReport.DataBind();
Now, you are clear with all errors and the logic will export all data in gridview to excel.
FYI, I am placing a sample of ExportToExcel() functionality here.
private void ExportToExcel() { Response.Clear(); Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", string.Format("attachment;filename=excel_report.xls")); Response.Charset = ""; // Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.xls"; System.IO.StringWriter stringWrite = new System.IO.StringWriter(); System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite); gvReport.RenderControl(htmlWrite); Response.Write(stringWrite.ToString()); Response.End(); }
Note: gvReport is the gridview control name in my example. And there are lot of posts in internet guide you incorrect to resolve the above error. For example, they will say set EnableEventValidation="false" in the <%@ Page directive Or disable validation in web.config level to resolve the error. Please do not set it.
Authorization filters and action filters have been around for a while in ASP.NET Web API but there is this new authentication filter introduced in Web API 2. Authentication filters have their own place in the ASP.NET Web API pipeline like other filters. Historically, authorization filters have been used to implement authentication and there is ton of samples out there with all kinds of authentication implemented in authorization filters. Web API 2 introduces the authentication filter so that authentication concerns can be separated out of authorization filter and put into an authentication filter.
This blog post is just a quick introduction to writing a custom authentication filter for implementing HTTP Basic Authentication. There is a full-blown example here, if you are interested in writing a production-strength filter.First up, we create the filter class BasicAuthenticator implementing the IAuthenticationFilter interface. We also derive from Attribute so that we can apply the filter on action methods, like so.
public class EmployeesController : ApiController
[BasicAuthenticator(realm: "Magical")]
public HttpResponseMessage Get(int id)
return Request.CreateResponse<Employee>(
new Employee()
Id = id,
FirstName = "Johnny",
LastName = "Law"
There are two interesting methods that we need to implement in the filter – (1) AuthenticateAsync and (2) ChallengeAsync.
AuthenticateAsync contains the core authentication logic. If authentication is successful, context.Prinicipal is set. Otherwise, context.ErrorResult is set to UnauthorizedResult, which basically gets translated to a "401 – Unauthorized" HTTP response status code.
public class BasicAuthenticator : Attribute, IAuthenticationFilter
private readonly string realm;
public bool AllowMultiple { get { return false; } }
public BasicAuthenticator(string realm)
this.realm = "realm=" + realm;
public Task AuthenticateAsync(HttpAuthenticationContext context,
CancellationToken cancellationToken)
var req = context.Request;
if (req.Headers.Authorization != null &&
"basic", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
Encoding encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
string credentials = encoding.GetString(
string[] parts = credentials.Split(':');
string userId = parts[0].Trim();
string password = parts[1].Trim();
if (userId.Equals(password)) // Just a dumb check
var claims = new List<Claim>()
new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, "badri")
var id = new ClaimsIdentity(claims, "Basic");
var principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(new[] { id });
context.Principal = principal;
context.ErrorResult = new UnauthorizedResult(
new AuthenticationHeaderValue[0],
return Task.FromResult(0);
public Task ChallengeAsync(
HttpAuthenticationChallengeContext context,
CancellationToken cancellationToken) {}}
For basic authentication, when there is a 401, we are supposed to send WWW-Authenticate header and the right place to write such challenge related logic will be the ChallengeAsync method. This is where things get interesting because it is not so straight forward to add headers here. The recommended approach is to create a class implementing IHttpActionResult and set an instance of it to context.Result, like so.
public Task ChallengeAsync(HttpAuthenticationChallengeContext context,
CancellationToken cancellationToken)
context.Result = new ResultWithChallenge(context.Result, realm);
return Task.FromResult(0);
Here is the result class. The crux of this class is in the ExecuteAsync method and that is where we set the WWW-Authenticate response header indicating the scheme and the realm.
public class ResultWithChallenge : IHttpActionResult
private readonly IHttpActionResult next;
private readonly string realm;
public ResultWithChallenge(IHttpActionResult next, string realm)
this.next = next;
this.realm = realm;
public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> ExecuteAsync(
CancellationToken cancellationToken)
var res = await next.ExecuteAsync(cancellationToken);
if (res.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized)
new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", this.realm));
return res;
For setting the WWW-Authenticate response header, we created a class. However, it is possible to get away without creating one, like this.
public Task ChallengeAsync(HttpAuthenticationChallengeContext context,
CancellationToken cancellationToken)
var result = await context.Result.ExecuteAsync(cancellationToken);
if (result.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized)
new AuthenticationHeaderValue(
"Basic", "realm=" + this.realm));
context.Result = new ResponseMessageResult(result);
However, this approach will not work with MVC since there is no ResponseMessageResult. For the sake of consistency, it is better to create our own class. Also, the code above changes the pipeline behavior slightly. For these reasons, it is recommended to create a class implementing IAuthenticationFilter (the initial approach in this post).
In one of my projects I found some a strange at first sight issue related to concurrent Session usages. During one long request the other parallel requests were waiting until the previous one is finished.This issue occurs when user tries to download file from ashx-handler. Handler requires Session to get some user-related configuration which is stored there. I've tried to dig deeper and that what I've found. By default no concurrent access to the asp.net session state is allowed. Requests with same SessionID will be locked exclusively to prevent potential corruption of its state. This topic contains only brief information about ASP.NET, if you want to be more familiar with ASP.NET, you should try HostForLife.eu
When you have request1 `in progress` and trying to do request2 - Session object will be locked by request1 and our code in request2 will be waiting for request1 completed. ASP.NET Session is thread safe and synchronization mechanism is based on System.Threading.ReaderWriterLock. This means that we can do many reads but only one writing at the same time. ASP.NET Session object is configured for full (read\write) access, by default. That's why we need to configure Session object as 'read-only' on long-term pages to have non-blocking access to Session object from other pages. Be aware that even you don't use Session object explicitly you have this issue too.
How to reproduce
To reproduce this issue let's create 2 asp.net pages.
Default page:
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

What You Need To Know About Color For Your Next Print Project
Printing Tips for Small Business – Part 1
RGB vs. CMYK
RGB is a color build system used by your computer monitor to display full color. CMYK is the color space that commercial printing presses use to reproduce your printing project. RGB is Red, Green and Blue, while CMYK is Cyan (blue), Magenta (red), Yellow and Black. The final printed project that you see on your computer screen will not necessarily be the same exact colors reproduced by a high quality offset printing press. In most cases there won't be a big difference, but there are some colors produced by an RGB monitor that cannot be reproduced via CMYK on a press.
Get Color Right – Spot Colors
Spot colors are used most frequently for one and two color jobs when an exact color needs to be repeatedly reproduced. Logos are perfect example spot colors. For example, if your logo needs a distinctive blue, tell your commercial printer your the Pantone® PMS color choice. This number is then matched on the press to deliver the exact result you need.
Pantone Matching System (PMS)
PMS is the popular Pantone® color matching system used by the printing industry to print spot colors. Most applications that support color printing allow you to specify colors by indicating the Pantone name or number. This assures that you get the right color when the file is printed, even though the color may not look right when displayed on your monitor. PMS works well for spot colors but not for process colors, which are generally specified using the CMYK color model.

Staying the Course
In 1 Kings 3:5, God made Solomon an offer he couldn't refuse, Ask what I shall give you. This was an open ended offer – a blank check – and opportunity for wealth, power, long life, anything he wanted. Solomon responded by asking God for wisdom – for wisdom so that he could discern between good & evil as he led the people of Israel. God gave him his request. And it was the best thing Solomon could have asked for.
Solomon started out well, but in time, he did not 'choose wisely.' He began to follow the morality and customs of the unbelieving world around him. He traveled a path which eventually led him to the place where he regularly worshiped many gods and turned his back on the One, True God. The people followed his example and the nation was fractured when Solomon died.
God warned him that this would happen when He said, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you have been before and none like you shall arise after you.....IF you walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days (1 Kings 3:12, 14).
We sometimes forget that being a child of God entails a journey, not an event. We are called to be faithful throughout our days. God gives us His Word, His church, His Spirit, and our fellow believers to encourage us along the way. Just because you/I were faithful to God at one time does not guarantee that we are traveling on the right and proper road. As I said, the life of a believer is a Journey, not an Event. My baptism, my knowledge of God & His Bible, my intentions are of little value if I do not put them into practice.
May you & I stay the course and do what we know to do when it comes to God's plan for our lives.........and keep on doing it.

Why Christian Unity is Not as Simple as White People Loving Michael Bolton
Yesterday I posted a book review of The Cross. Before posting these reviews I typically check out Amazon.com reviews to see whether I am totally off base in my opinion. This is one instance were I would be the only one giving the book a 1 out of 5 stars. If certain people read the review I will probably get much criticism for my review. I will probably be labeled as unspiritual, hindering the Spirit, and criticizing "God's man".
Apart from the shock of no other person agreeing with me on Amazon, something else caught my eye. The only other person to give the book a 3 out of 5 is an unbeliever. This person noted that all of the unbelievers she asked actually liked the book. The only ones that offered criticism were those that were believers. This of course is by unbelievers as a reason to not believe. "You think you have the truth market cornered and yet you cannot agree with one another about simple things".
This argument is appealing. Partly because it has some truth. Our love and unity is perhaps our most powerful apologetic (John 13:35). But unity is not as simple as everyone with the name Christian gets along and loves one another. To me this would be like saying Michael Bolton is a white guy, therefore all white guys have to like Michael Bolton. Or better yet, Hitler was German, therefore, all German's should get along with Hitler. That is appalling, especially that part about Michael Bolton.
Christianity unity is found in our union with Christ. Christian unity is centered upon the truth in Christ. Whenever you stray from truth you stray from Christ. Whenever you stray from Christ you stray from unity with one another as well.
Christians are in union with one another. This unity means covering over a ton of junk with love. But Christians are not in union with unbelievers or those merely professing Christ. Furthermore, unity does not demand absolute conformity. I can be in unity with Arthur Blessitt in as much as he loves Jesus and is centered on the Cross. In every way in which he (or I for that matter) strays from the faith delivered we cannot be in unity.

Review of The Cross by Arthur Blessit
Author: Arthur Blessitt
Pages: 221 pages
Publisher: Authentic Publishing
Price: 12.23
Genre: Biography
Quick Summary:
You may have heard of Arthur Blessitt before. He is the man that has devoted his life to carrying the cross in every nation. If you watch TBN you have probably heard him speak. This book is all about Blessitt's journey throughout the world telling people of Jesus and carrying a big wooden cross.
What I Liked:
This book is interesting. Blessitt had the opportunity to pray with Pope John Paul II, George W. Bush, and a score of other world leaders as well. But it is not only the world leaders that he ministered to, he truly does seem like a man that loves all people and wants them to come to Jesus. That is why it pains me to write the next section.
What I Disliked:
Blessitt's theology is the typical theology found on the Trinity Broadcast Network. There are several problems that I see with this book. Perhaps, the greatest is that it encourages a believer to follow the voice of Jesus (and sometimes the leading of the Holy Spirit). That all sounds well and good, and I feel like a jerk saying this, but I just don't buy it. Do I believe that God still speaks today? Absolutely. But I believe that God speaks through His Word. There is nothing in Scripture that leads me to believe that Jesus still speaks to us audibly today.
Not only is the typical TBN, word of faith theology rampant, but also the decision theology that is ever present in these circles. Let me just sum it up. If you like TBN, Paul Crouch, and the like then you will love this book and find it to be a wonderful testimony to the power of God. If you do not agree with the TBN folks then this book will make you cringe. It is dangerous at best.
Something tells me that Jesus meant something very different when he tells us to take up our cross and follow him.
Should You Buy This Book?
I cannot recommend this book. If you want advice on following Jesus, I'd strongly suggest reading Kevin DeYoung's book Just Do Something. If you want a story of men that took up the cross and followed Jesus, then read the biography of David Brainerd, Robert Murray McCheyne, Charles Spurgeon, etc. Or perhaps this excellent work by Piper: The Hidden Smile of God.

Hungry at the Lord's Table
Do you ever get really hungry during the Sunday morning worship service? I know I do. I typically am running late and unable to eat much for breakfast beforehand. By the time noon rolls around I am getting pretty hungry. So, when we celebrate the Lord's Supper I often wish that we had entire meals instead of only a little wafer. I am hungry and I want filled.
Before you dismiss me as a heretic that is trampling the Lord's table, hear me out, I'm making a point. There is actually some *unintentional symbolism between my hunger and the unfulfilling wafer. The wafer is not meant to quench my hunger, but it is meant to point me to He who will will ultimately quench my hunger.
The Holy Spirit is given to us (believers) as a deposit. Not only does the Spirit seal us but His indwelling presence is also somewhat of a "preview of things to come". Our experience of the Spirit now is life the wafer that only really makes me hungry for more. This is not a perfect analogy because the Spirit does indeed fill us and satisfy us far more than a wafer satisfies my desire for lunch. But, what the little cracker does for my stomach is what the Spirit does for my soul: He makes me that much more hungry for Jesus. He makes me think about the meal to come. As I "do this in remembrance of Jesus" I also remember that His death is not the end of the story.
So, the next time you are participating in the Lord's table, and you are hungry, remember that your experience of Christ now is but a taste.
*I said unintentional symbolism because the smaller "communion crackers" have more to do with making sure the body of Jesus is not eaten by a mouse, or that burly gents do not take the body of Christ home in their beard.

Monday's Ministry Musing: Should We Drop it all at the Door?
I've said it, and prayed it, quite a few times. Yesterday, I caught myself. "Lord, please allow us to drop all of our burdens at the door and come and freely worship you." I know what we mean when we pray that. We want to come to the Lord empty handed and not be distracted by a bunch of junk. We do not want to be thinking about meatloaf instead of meditating on our marvelous Maker. But do we really want to lay all of our burdens at the door?
This way of thinking tends to contradict what Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30:
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Perhaps Jesus does not want us to "drop all of our burdens at the door". Perhaps our act of worship is to come heavy but to leave light. Jesus does not want you to drop reality and real life at the door, sing a few songs, hear a sermon, and then pick all of your baggage up on your way out. Jesus wants you to "cast all your anxiety upon him."
I am becoming convinced that Jesus really did come to call sinners. Powerful worship does not happen when clean, put-together people, offer "service" to the Lord. Powerful worship happens when dirty, broken, sinners find the answer to their brokenness. Or perhaps we could say that powerful worship happens when clean, put-together people, praise the Lord that brought them out of the miry clay. Whether you are broken or healed the Lord desires a heart that does not pretend it's living in Eden; but rather a heart that knows it is not where it is meant to be and is found longing for rescue.
So, next time you come to worship bring all of your baggage…but don't leave with it.
Knowing Men and Knowing God
This quote is from JI Packer in his book The Quest for Godliness. It is a summary of the Puritan Interpretation of Scripture.
To apply Scripture realistically, one must know what is in men's heads as well as in their hearts, and the Puritans insisted that the would-be expositor needs to study people as well as the Bible.
Do you agree that those who teach the bible need to know their hearers as well as they know the Bible?

What I want.........What God wants.
There are those today who think God wants to 'invade' our times of worship and reveal himself merely to give us some sort of spiritual adrenaline rush. I don't see this happening in the Bible, do you? God reveals himself for a purpose......his purpose, not ours. Certainly he wants our praise. But if our praise is genuine will it not include our confession, our repentance, and our surrender to service?
Read the story of the miraculous catch in Luke 5:1-11. The flow of events is fairly simple to see, isn't it? The word of God is taught.....Apparently the seeds of faith are sown because obedience was rendered.....Christ revealed himself......Confession was offered......Call was given....Commitment was made.
The commitment to leave all behind and follow Jesus was a costly one. "True discipleship is always costly because it means giving up what we want for us so that we can have what Jesus wants for us" (Philip Ryken). Ryken's comment drives deep into my heart. I know I'm supposed to want what Jesus wants for me......but am I willing both to count the cost and consider it worth surrendering all to Jesus?
I fear that far too many of Christian Americans (myself included) are unwilling to want what Jesus wants for us. If this is true, it is small wonder that the church of our culture is weak and anemic.
Plant in me a desire to want what you want for me. Help me to be willing to surrender all I want so that I might have what you want. Give the heart-felt passion for your will and way in my life.

Thomas Goodwin on the Necessity of Illumination
"…no man's or men's private understandings, without the aid of that public secretary of heaven, can understand them…he only hid the treasures of knowledge in that field, and he only knows where they lie; what an advantage is it then by prayer to unlock God's breast, obtain the key of knowledge that unlocks God's study, and can direct to all his notes and his paper."
-Quoted from JI Packer, The Quest for Godliness

Review of The Story of Christianity by Justo L. Gonzalez
Pages: 880
Publisher: Prince Press
Price: 15.99
Genre: History
Quick Summary:
Originally 2 volumes, this highly readable church history is now available in one volume. This book is an often required text book for church history classes at both the seminary and college level. Volume 1 covers from the churches beginnings up to the Protestant Reformation. Volume 2 covers from the Protestant Reformation up to modern times. Gonzalez also gives much needed attention to the expansion of Christianity into Central and South America.
What I Liked:
Many consider church history to be boring. Sadly, there are many "boring" church history books; the Story of Christianity is not one of them. Gonzalez writes in such a way to not only inform but make the stories come alive. He allows the reader to consider the difficulties and opportunities that the church had to reckon with at each stage of history. The reader is introduced to key historical figures within the church and in secular society. As you read through each section of church history you really have a feel for the social climate. Gonzalez is an excellent writer and a credible historian.
What I Disliked:
There are two minor things that keep this from being a 5 star book. The first is that Gonzalez at times will interject opinion. Of course every historian must make opinions at various points. The historian is often making an interpretive decision by including one story and not another. However, at times Gonzalez will raise issues or put forth an opinion that does not flow smoothly into the narrative. Secondly, the book does a great job of telling a story but often lacks chronology. Within each section Gonzalez is concerned with telling the story but sometimes as he looks at the story from various angles the chronology is lost.
Should You Buy It:
Even if this is not required for a class this would be a welcome addition to any home library. Studying church history is an important and much needed discipline. If you need a church history survey book there are few better than Gonzalez. Buy it for only 15.99.

"Gospel-Sounding" Legalism
Do you ever hear something that you know is wrong but you cannot quite put your finger on it? Have you ever had a conversation with someone where you knew you disagreed but you could not put your finger on what exactly the difference was? I think I may have figured out what rubs me the wrong way so often in Christian circles. We have a way of sounding biblical, looking Christian, speaking of Jesus while somehow subverting the gospel.
Take for instance notes I found from a conference on tackling fear, worry, and anxiety. It starts with the basics. It is theologically sound on who God is. It continues with a sound view of the importance of Scripture. If we are going to tackle fear, worry, and anxiety we need to know who God is. So, get in the Word. The entire speech (sermon) centers around this premise—know God. Then it closes by saying if we know Christ, if we stay in His Word, then we will know the truth. If we know the truth then we will be free from worry, anxiety, stress, etc.
So, what's the problem?
All of the things that were stated are true. At least they are true in a sense. The problem with such teaching/preaching is that it starts in the wrong spot. It is a misdiagnosis and a foundational misunderstanding of who Jesus is and what exactly He has already accomplished and intends to fully accomplish in redemption.
The problem with such teaching is that it does not go far enough. It applies cold medicine to cure cancer. Better yet, it puts cancer into remission but you still die from it years later. The problem is that many people that would disagree with Joel Osteen actually live based on the same smiley premise: your best life is now.
God does indeed intend to conquer your fear, worry, and anxiety. But He does not conquer your fear, worry, and anxiety by leaving you an owner's manual, providing you the resources, setting an example, and then saying "get it done". He conquers your fear, worry, and anxiety by ACTUALLY conquering your fear, worry, and anxiety.
There are principally two ways to encourage others in casting out fear, worry, and anxiety (or any other vice) and replacing it with assurance, trust, and rest. I adapt this from Tim Keller. The first one says I obey, therefore I conquer fear, worry, and anxiety. (Or you can even make it sound gospel centered—"I obey the principles God graciously set forth, therefore God conquers fear, worry, and anxiety"). The second one says Christ has conquered fear, worry, and anxiety, therefore I live in rest (therefore, I obey).
Some day you will no longer fear. Your best life is not now—no matter how many "biblical principles" you apply. You will struggle with fear, anxiety, and worry this side of our complete redemption. But that does not mean that you sit passively by and just wait until Jesus comes down on a cloud, blows a trumpet, and calls you home. You respond to His work and you live in it.
Whether you follow these principles or not really has nothing to do with whether you will ultimately be without fear, worry, and anxiety. Those are conquered—eventually because of the work of Christ you will not have them. Following these "biblical principles" are ways that you live in what Christ has already purchased. It is a subtle difference but it is a difference between defeated, dead, and devilish faith and victorious, lively, and biblical faith.
So, how do you preach/teach to conquer fear and worry? You start with the work of Christ. And every "biblical principle" that you give explodes out of this one glorious truth.

Monday's Ministry Musing: Why Weighty Preaching is Not Bad but Actually Necessary
Ministers who are not at home with what is significant; ministers whose attention span is less than that of a four-year old in the 1940's, who race around like the rest of us, constantly distracted by sounds and images of inconsequential trivialities, and out of touch with what is weighty. It is not surprising that their sermons, and the alleged worship that surrounds them, are often trifling, thoughtless, uninspiring, and mundane. It is not surprising that their sermons are mindlessly practical, in the "how-to" sense. It is also not surprising that their sermons tend to be moralistic, sentimentalistic, or slavishly drafted into the so-called culture wars. The great seriousness of the reality of being human, the dreadful seriousness of the coming judgment of God, the sheer insignificance of the present in light of eternity—realities that once were the subtext of virtually every sermon—have now disappeared, and have been replaced by one triviality after another.I hope you read that. Especially if you are a preacher of the gospel.
Any person that knows me has come to understand that I greatly appreciate men like Jonathan Edwards, John Piper, the Puritans, and John Newton. These men were/are weighty in their preaching. I have been greatly influence by what Thomas Boston communicated in The Art of Manfishing, "If you believe that the wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God, you can not speak to them as if you were telling a story." And so my preaching has taken upon a certain gravity.
Weighty preaching leads to a problem, though; especially, if you struggle with a desire to be a people pleaser. The problem with weighty preaching is that the congregation lives in the same world that Gordon describes for the preacher: preoccupied with the insignificant and unimportant. Neither the preacher nor the congregation really wants to come face to face with the significant and important.
To buck this trend might mean to be thought of as, "too deep". Weighty preaching will cause people to have to chew and digest so you may not see instant results. In order to really preach a text with weight you will have to feel that text—and that often hurts. Not to mention to really feel a text means to know it, so this means more time. There really is no "big secret" to preaching weighty, so you may not be seen as cutting edge. Creation, fall, and redemption might get a little old. People may get sick of hearing that the only remedy is the gospel. It will be tempting to offer other solutions, to not beat the same drum. You might lose a few people.
People will flock to flashy; but what they really need is weighty. We cannot afford to entertain, merely inform, and make certain that the people enjoy our sermons. I am not calling for boring sermons where lazy or unbroken and untouched men "preach the text" but refuse to let themselves be broken under it. I hunger to be broken by the sermons that I preach, to preach them passionately, and to preach as a dying man to dying men and women.
Lord rescue us from the trivial and enthrall our hearts with that which is weighty!

Reason #376 Why You Need the Puritans
Because they write amazing stuff like this:
I would not [lack] the sweet experience of the consolations of God for all the bitterness of affliction; nay, whether God come to his children with a rod or a crown, if he come himself with it, it is well. Welcome, welcome Jesus, what way soever thou come, if we can get a sight of thee. And sure I am, it is better to be sick, providing Christ come to the bed-side, and draw aside the curtains, and say, 'Courage, I am they salvation', than to enjoy health, being lusty and strong, and never to be visited of God. -Samuel Rutherford.

... So little time! Only 2 more weeks left of Sale-a-bration (ends March 17th). I love this Sell-a-bration set. There are so many occasions and cards for which you can use it.
Here is a really simple card. The use of the designer papers on cards (in this case, Fall Flowers paper, although these colors look more spring-like to me!) is a fast way to get lots of fun color on a card.
This card is pretty self-explanatory (just a little stamping, layering, and punching with the Scallop punch). There is just one little trick to explain though. Notice the little designer paper flower in the center of the stamped and punched scallop. Before adhering the strip of designer paper to the Soft Sky layer, using the 1/2" circle punch, punch one of the little flowers out from the paper in an area that will have the punched scalloped circles layered over it.
The Stem Sayings set that was also used with this card is a really versatile set. The sayings make great stems especially with stamped and punched images from the So Many Scallop set. But the sayings from Stem Sayings also make cute curvy sentiments like on this card.
The 5/8" wide Old Olive grosgrain ribbon wrapped and knotted around the designer paper gives a finishing touch to the card.
If you would like to see all the Sale-a-bration stamp sets you can earn for free before March 17th, check out the Sale-a-bration Mini catalog.
Also, there are more NEW items available starting March 1st in the Occasions Mini catalog. With the overlap of Sale-a-bration and the new mini catalog, you can order from the new mini and earn Sale-a-bration stamp sets too!

Schoodic to Schoodic: Forest Regeneration
Project Area
Management Goals
The S2S is within the broad temperate-boreal transition zone and includes many species at/near their northern or southern range limits (e.g., red oak, maples, spruces, and fir). Changing environmental conditions, including warming temperatures, increasing browse pressure, and tree pests and diseases, are affecting trees across the region. Many tree species may expand north with warming temperatures, others may lose habitat along their southern range edges, and still others may endure a changing climate and retain current habitat. Furthermore, these responses will be mediated by other environmental drivers in the forest understory. The goal of this project is to examine the early life-stage responses of multiple tree species across local environmental gradients and gain insight into which species may perform well under current and future conditions. Understanding where on the landscape change is likely to occur and where existing forest types are likely to persist will aid management efforts aimed at resisting and directing climate-mediated change on the landscape.

Armajaro Asset Management's bold bid to corner the cocoa market has come to a bittersweet end this holiday season.
The London-based commodities hedge fund bought up nearly all of the available stocks of cocoa this summer, some 240,000 metric tons of the brown stuff. It was the largest cocoa delivery on London's LIFFE exchange in 13 years and 20 times as large as the previous delivery, representing some 7% of annual production.
Armajaro's bet looked pretty good at first, helping to drive cocoa to a 33-year high. But you can't predict the weather—and you certainly can't predict the weather in the Ivory Coast from London. But the African country, which produces about 40% of the world's cocoa, enjoyed some good weather, at least for cocoa production, helping ease the market and sending cocoa prices in London down by almost £1,000 per metric ton.
Armajaro sold off its entire stake between September and this month. The hedge fund was responsible for the delivery of most of the 109,960 metric tons of cocoa delivered this month, the Financial Times reports.
While the chocolate bet was a bust for Armajaro and co-founder Anthony Ward, nicknamed "Choc Finger" by the British press, the firm's CC+ fund remains up for the year, thanks both to its successful hedging of the long cocoa bet and the success of the other half of its portfolio, which invests in coffee.
