SPGroup class
Represents a group on a SharePoint Foundation Web site.
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
Use the Groups property of the SPUser or SPWeb class to return the collection of groups for the user or Web site. Otherwise, use the OwnedGroups property of the SPUser class to return the collection of groups owned by a user, or the SiteGroups property of the SPWeb class to return all the groups in the site collection.
Use an indexer to return a single group from the collection. For example, if the collection is assigned to a variable named collGroups, use myGroups[index] in Microsoft C#, or myGroups(index) in Microsoft Visual Basic, where index is either the index number of the group in the collection or the name of the group.
Every group can be represented by an SPMember object and has a unique member identifier (see ID property). The following example assigns a group to an SPMember object:
SPMember oMember = oWebsite.SiteGroups["Cross-Site_Group_Name"];
For general information about groups and security, see Authorization, users, groups, and the object model in SharePoint 2013.
The following code example changes the name, owner, and description of a group in a site collection.
using (SPWeb oWebsite = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb) { SPGroup oGroup = oWebsite.SiteGroups["Original_Name"]; oGroup.Name = "New_Name"; oGroup.Owner = oWebsite.Users["Domain_Name\\User"]; oGroup.Description = "Description"; oGroup.Update(); }
Certain objects implement the IDisposable interface, and you must avoid retaining these objects in memory after they are no longer needed. For information about good coding practices, see Disposing Objects.

I recently read a post by Timethief which said that images would all display better if they were correctly sized before being uploaded to the Media Library on my blog. Would this explain why I only ever have two options allowed me when I upload photos? Namely, thumbnail (150 x112) and Full Size (529 × 396) and am never given an option for the two in between? How do I find out what the sizes are for Medium and Large please, as I can't seem to find that information on the theme page for Chateau and I have never been able to use them since I swapped to this theme.
I have tried searching in Google too for 'chateau image sizes' etc but haven't managed to find anything out apart from about the header image - but thought someone here might know the answer. Up to now I have been resizing my photos ad hoc once I had uploaded them either with the Edit Image option in the Library or with the Edit Image option once the image is placed in the post. Neither of these give me any accuracy and given what Timethief says, presumably this isn't the best way to get the best from one's images.
Any help much appreciated. Joanna
The blog I need help with is zebbakes.com.

This will not normally be a problem as dpkg will ihappily "overwrite" the "unexpected" other file, but you should be aware of it. > for dir in /usr/lib/ghc-7.0.2/haddock /usr/lib/ghc-7.0.3/haddock > do > if test -d $dir > then > mv $dir/* /usr/lib/haddock > rmdir $dir > ln -s ../haddock $dir > fi > done This code is buggy because it will always trigger since test -d will be true for a symlink to a directory. Also you might want to think about what you want to happen if the same file is found in two or more of /usr/lib/haddock /usr/lib/ghc-7.0.2/haddock /usr/lib/ghc-7.0.3/haddock In general I think you have a tenable approach here. But you should do thorough testing; particularly, you should do testing with "dpkg -i" and "dpkg --remove" in arbitrary orders, and you should do testing of what happens if your fixup script falls over halfway through (eg, put a sleep in it and ^Z then kill -9 the whole dpkg process stack). It is important that the sh code you write is idempotent and the dependencies are all correct. I suggest you come back here (or to debian-dpkg) and ask for another review when you have a more concrete implementation. Regards, Ian.

Back in 2013, I had a 1 year old baby who hated sleep. Hated it. We routinely started our days at 4:30 AM. I'm exhausted just remembering it. And as many of you are well aware, there's not much on TV at 4:30 AM. Sesame Street would come on at 6:00, but until then it was pretty much infomercials and home shopping. But one bleary-eyed Saturday morning I discovered that VH1 still plays music videos in the wee hours. Gabriel loves music, it required no mental effort from me, so, you know, win-win.
One Saturday morning, a hooky tune starts that I've never heard before, with an eye-catching video featuring the lovely and talented Artemis Pebdani (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Scandal). Groovin' song, fantastic video, I'm digging it … HOLD UP. Is that? No. Really? That's the fucking New Kids on the Block? Say what? I should not like this. I can't like this. Huh. I really like this. Must be the sleep deprivation talking.
Should. It's a perilous word for me, the girl with a people-pleasing streak wider than the Grand Canyon. It comes from an honest place. I moved several times growing up, and if you are at all familiar with that moment when the principal with a hand firmly on your shoulder, positions you at the front of another classroom with 23 pairs of eyes burning a hole into your soul and announces, "This is Blair. She's a new student. Let's all make her feel welcome," then you may also be familiar with the urgent desire to be invisible. To never ever stand out or make waves. If you need me, I'll just be over here. BLENDING IN. REALLY. I'M BREEZY.
Then we can get into my slightly Type-A need to do everything right (and possibly always BE right (sorry, Nathan)), and a lot of my life has been about should. I should wear this, I should like this and not that. I should be this and not that. If I follow all the shoulds, I should be happy, people should like me, I should have it all.
In suburban Atlanta, in 1989, heading into high school, I should NOT like the New Kids on the Block. Or hair bands. I should like R.E.M., I should be growing out my bigger than life bangs, I should wear more black. I should definitely downplay that whole clarinet-player-in-the-marching-band thing, and while we're at it, I shouldn't talk too much about those honors classes. And in some sense it was easy to listen to the should. I do like R.E.M., my bangs were never that big, and no one wants to talk about clarinets or AP history anyway.
But the shoulds are so limiting. I was probably in my late twenties before I gave any serious thought to what I actually want and what I actually like. Crazy, yes? Taking out the should makes a world of difference. But it is such an unpracticed thing for me, still. My default is should. It still takes a very conscious effort for me to take that should out.
So one morning, in the sleep-deprived haze of pre-dawn music videos, I took out the should. And the should not. And I gave myself permission to like the Remix (see what I did there?). And to admit that I'd liked it all along. No should about it.
It was such a minor thing in those lonely nighttime and early morning hours (seriously, Gabriel NEVER slept), but that song, and eventually the album, gave me so much joy and happiness to hold onto. And that continued as I went and downloaded the entire back catalog. 2013 was a weird year for me with a lot of work stress and highs and lows and everything in between. And allowing myself to rediscover NKOTB was such an escape, such an unbelievable stress reliever. I needed all the distraction I could get, and the music was always there in such a fun, light-hearted way that only pop music can be. And don't think I'm not aware of how slightly odd this all sounds. That a high-strung (then) 39 year old got through some unpleasant times by reliving the teen pop crushes she never allowed herself to have. But there it is. That's what helped. I must have played the album "10" 1,000 times in those months.
Fast-forward to 2015, and finally, I got to see NKOTB live. And I was SO excited. I went with my lovely friend Erin, and we did some irresponsible weeknight drinking, and sang along and screamed and danced our asses off. And my inner 14 year old has never been so happy. All the shoulds were set free. It was more fun than I ever even imagined it would be. I can't WAIT to do it again. I'm a Blockhead for life. As well I should be.

Steel Round Bracelet Mandrel
Made of hardened tool steel, this Bracelet Mandrel combines performance with economy. 15 inches long, with a nice gradual taper of 1.5" to 3" diameter.
This mandrel weighs nearly 5 pounds, so can be used as a workout tool as well as a jewelry tool!
This mandrel is used in our Classic Bangle Class.
***PLEASE NOTE**** This item does not fit in the $11.50 Flat Rate Box shipping option. Please select regular Priority shipping at check-out. If the postage needs to be adjusted we will contact you.
I love this mandrel. For the price it is a great buy. It is nice and heavy and if you put a pro polish pad under the bracelet or cuff you can stamp on it as well with out marring the metal. So happy that I bought it.
Angel H
I use the ring bender plies and also this mandrel for my round bracelets. They come out looking sharp and perfectly round. Great for hammering round bangles on as well. Just be sure to use some tape on the mandrel around the two edges so you don't damage your hammer head with a few missed strikes on the mandrel. Just wish it had a tang to fit in my workbench, but hey, for the price, it's a steal and I can live without the tang!
This is a life saver! perfect for making cuffs and bangles. Love the weight as well!

AURORA | Democrat legislators are proposing a bill to cap tuition increases at state colleges and universities to battle rising costs for higher education. The proposal would cap hikes at 6 percent for the next two years for state schools.
"We've seen tuition inflation rates go up over 600 percent over a decade or so," said Colorado Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, at a town hall meeting Feb. 20.
"It used to be students were paying one-third of tuition and the state was paying two-thirds. That got flipped around, and it's been difficult for students and for all of higher education," she said.
Carroll said the bill, dubbed the College Affordability Act, would allocate an additional $100 million annually to state colleges and universities for the next two years.
Michael Carrigan, chairman of the University of Colorado Regents, said at the meeting the extra funding was one reason CU was looking at its lowest tuition increase in seven years. Last week the University of Colorado administration proposed a tuition increase of 4 percent at one of its campuses to its board of regents.
"We fully expect we'll be under that 6 percent largely because of support we're getting from (the proposal)," he said.
Jeff Thompson, director of government and corporate affairs for University of Colorado Health, said the bill would help Aurora with funneling health care workers into the Anschutz Medical Campus. He said the campus employs over 5,000 people from Aurora.
"Our medical colleges in the next three to four years, are facing a workforce shortage of more than 90,000 physicians," he said.
"We've got to address this by getting more students into higher education, and more students into pipeline for professional education. (The bill) is an important step for making that happen."
The Colorado Commission on Higher Education predicts there won't be enough educated Coloradans to fill state jobs by 2020.
Some residents at the meeting questioned whether two years would be enough time to turn things around.
"We're going to have to come up with funding sources not so dependent on growth in economy so we don't have peaks and valleys," said Rep. John Buckner, D-Aurora. "We're going to have to decide that higher education and K-12 are priorities, and we will fund them at a level that will serve students in the state. The long-term changes we need to make are structural changes in tax laws."
Senate Bill 1, which has passed out of the Senate will head to the House Education Committee next. Senate Bill 4, a measure sponsored by Sen. Nancy Todd, D-Aurora, that will increase college affordability by allowing community colleges to provide some 4-year applied sciences degrees, will being signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper on Feb. 28.

^^^ *cough*. I absolutely love its just plain chilled design. It makes me so glad i chose a snivy as a starter(i had no idea about anything that would happen as the game progressed when i started it). Plus lets face it, it doesn't have all that much competition...
O, its simipour btw not emolga. the emolga avatars are better though.

Haxorus, because it gives me that giant monster feeling inside me.
I also like the other Axew evolutions.
An insane dude
Yep, I'm a fan of Kanto Pokemon.
Hmmm... The Reuniclus family. Don't know why. I just do
Woobat/Swoobat. I never would've imagined liking something that is a replacement for Zubat, but those two are just too freaking adorable.
Axew! Because it remembers me of the 1st version... Like a Grass-type Charmander!
Oshawott, Gothitelle and Minccino are the coolest!

The Chandelure family, closely followed by Mienfoo.
4th generation, with the exception of rhyperior, was mediocre to me. 5th gen there are soooooo many more pokies its a bit harder to keep track.
5th gen my favorites are krookadile and scolipede. krookadile is just cool, even though his nose looks like a pe- ...well...you get it. scolipede learns iron defense and baton pass. frickin sweet.

Honestly, I like a lot most of them. This gen really is great.
The coolest are Emboar, Serperior, Tornadus, Victiny, Reshiram, Gothitelle, Mandibuzz, Krookodile, Whimsicott, Mienshao,Chadelure, Musharna, Golurk, (shiny) Scrafty, Druddigon, Seismtoad, Bisharp, Stoutland, (Male) Unfezant, Heatmor, Zoroark, Cinccino, Watchog, Simipour, Swoobat, Swanna, Leavanny, (blue stripe) Basculin, Archeops, Escavalier, Alomomola, Stunfisk (yes, STUNFISK!), Emolga, Darmanitan, Garbodor (that's right), Bouffalant aaaaaand Meloetta (both forms).
Pheeeew, that pretty much sums it up.

I don't have a single favorite 5th gen Pokemon, but rather three that stand out to me the most. I have lots of favorite Pokemon, especially this generation, but I absolutely love Serperior, Braviary, and Druddigon. As soon as I saw Snivy, I knew that would be my starter. At first, I was disappointed with Serperior's design, but it grew on me quickly. It's a very pretty Pokemon. Unfortunately, I'm not impressed with her movepool. (She should at least get Dragon Pulse and Focus Blast). Braviary is super awesome and powerful... and I love bird Pokemon. Druddigon is a pretty different Dragon Pokemon with an excellent design.

VGC- dual screens helped me win so much battles at this years VGC, i might use him again, if deoxys-s isnt open
DW- his secret ability is just plain cool, cant wait until that comes out
i love grass starters, so serperior being so awesome just makes it my clear fav
I chase the dream, not the competition.
For me, its Scrafty
its appearance and its competitive characteristics
If you believe in Jesus Christ put this in your profile and don't just ignore this, because in the Bible it says, If you deny me, I will deny you in front of my Father in the gates of Heaven.
Deino is sucha wittle cutie... *baby talk* It looks like a little emo dinosaur! Plus its evolutions kick some serious Probopass.
my favourities :
deino -> zweilous -> hydreigon
zorua -> zoroark
larvesta -> volcarona
frillish -> jellicent
and why ? .. cuz of their : 1. look , 2. abilities , 3. rarity , 4. type

of the secrets of success with the <

But these are probably leding n1

the fiisuiuis Six Coipatnies. where it .
is well'known the opportunity for 7

wo11l I br.hlle the most skillful
tuatlheltician to iravol or explain.
Bu1t it seems to answer the purpose t
required, and is, of c'ours8, as ae- t
inraate ts c'ir own. On every coun'- 1
ter there is a small computing cane N
"onsisting of movable balls on <

faro gale. With this a Clhinaman 1
rapidly adds, nulti pe , dir'ities. or
i)titrac t.s, bilut a Phibldelphia
lawyer could not solve the process N
n a twelvemuonlith. Most of the (
pIaper used by the Chinese is of thin 1
patyru s materiail and of ia light t
brown color. A pencil brush i fith i

it all the desks and1( counting-rooms I

Origin lly k1)wing nothing about
boot and shoce making they made
41eh1 r"apid strides in thlis trade that
11o other class of workmen are able
to compete with them. At such
low wages do Chinamenl perform
this kind of work, that in no place
an this continent are boots and
sioes sold so cheaply as in Sanl

Steering problem
2009 Infiniti M35 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 18000 miles
I am looking to buy a 10 month old car with 18k miles. The dealer has disclosed that the car had a front end alignment and two new tires installed. My question is. Is the car good as new or since the relatively new car already had this problem once will it be more likely to need alignments again in the future?
have the same problem?

|KEVIN CASH Handles knuckler
It's his turn to cash in
Wakefield aiming at a new target
The last time the Red Sox tried someone other than Doug Mirabelli behind the plate with knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, general manager Theo Epstein was panicked into what he now rues as his worst trade. Epstein gave up on catcher Josh Bard - who had committed 10 passed balls in five starts with Wakefield, including four in one game - and packaged him with reliever Cla Meredith to the Padres to get back Mirabelli.
That was May 1, 2006, when Mirabelli received a police escort from Logan Airport and a hero's welcome at Fenway Park, perhaps the only place on the planet where a backup catcher could fly out of Lindbergh Airfield in San Diego and be received like Lucky Lindy himself 3,000 miles away.
Mirabelli is gone again, disappearing on a March morning in Fort Myers, Fla., after being told he'd been released, and this time the prodigal catcher is not likely to return. Mirabelli, 37, is still waiting to hear from a team, according to his longtime catching partner, Jason Varitek, who has stayed in touch.
The burden of catching Wakefield, who makes his first start of 2008 tonight against the Toronto Blue Jays in Rogers Centre, now falls on Kevin Cash, who is seven years younger than Mirabelli. Cash showed last season after Mirabelli strained a calf muscle that he could handle the knuckleball, but has yet to prove he can hit big league pitching, as his .167 career average in limited time with the Blue Jays, Devil Rays, and Sox would attest.
The last two seasons, Cash hasn't hit much in the minors, either - .183 for Triple A Durham, Tampa Bay's affiliate, in '06, and .176 in 59 games with Triple A Pawtucket last season.
But the Sox demonstrated with Mirabelli - who hit just .206 with 17 home runs and 59 RBIs in 433 at-bats the last three seasons - that offense is secondary with Wakefield on the mound.
"He's good," manager Terry Francona said after Cash caught Wakefield in Saturday's exhibition in Los Angeles's Memorial Coliseum and hit a three-run home run, which might not have had the distance in a park of normal dimensions. "He's a good catcher. I think that's stating the obvious."
In his first game with Wakefield after Mirabelli's release, a minor league game in Fort Myers, Cash caught five perfect innings.
"It's not a relief," Francona said when asked about how well the two have clicked. "I'm glad, but we watched him last year. Cash, under some pretty difficult circumstances, did an outstanding job. And there was no reason to believe that he would go backwards. Cash is too conscientious, to go along with his catching tools, for that to happen."
While it sometimes seems, with the exception of Bard's failed trial, as if Wakefield never had another catcher besides Mirabelli, a dozen masked men have set up behind the plate since Wakefield came to the Sox, beginning with Mike Macfarlane. He was Wakefield's first regular catcher in '95, when the knuckleballer started the season 14-1, finished 16-8, and had a 2.95 ERA, second in the American League.
Macfarlane had 26 passed balls that season, most by a catcher since Texas's Geno Petralli had 35 in 1987 while attempting to corral another knuckleballer, Charlie Hough.
Mike Stanley was Wakefield's primary catcher in 1996, and while he committed fewer passed balls (18) that season, he failed to throw out anyone in 27 stolen base attempts with Wakefield on the hill.
Bill Haselman and Scott Hatteberg split the catching duties in 1997 and committed 17 passed balls apiece, but did a terrific job of controlling the running game, throwing out 17 of 41 runners attempting to steal, a success rate of 41.4 percent.
By 2000, when Hatteberg was sharing the job with Varitek, base stealers were again running at will against Wakefield, succeeding on 31 of 33 attempts.
Creighton Gubanich, Marcus Jensen, Joe Oliver, and Lenny Webster all made cameo appearances behind the plate when Wakefield pitched, until Mirabelli arrived in 2002 and took the load off Varitek for six seasons. The most passed balls Mirabelli had in any season with the Sox were 15 in 2004. Last season, he committed just six, half the number of the year before.
He also did a relatively good job of keeping the running game in check, though last season 32 runners stole successfully against Wakefield/Mirabelli, the most in their six years together. But Wakefield also won 17 games last season, his most since 1998, and might have had 20 if his season didn't blow up at the end because of a tear in the labrum of his pitching shoulder. Wakefield had an 8.76 ERA in 24 2/3 innings over his last five starts, and was left off the World Series roster when his shoulder didn't respond.
But he's rebounded nicely this spring - a 2-0 record and 1.29 ERA in four spring training starts, including his Coliseum start in which he allowed an unearned run on five hits in five-plus innings.
And Rogers Centre may be an ideal place to start, especially if the roof is closed. Since the beginning of 2004, Wakefield is 4-2 with a 3.58 ERA in six starts north of the border. He had two terrific starts against the Jays last season, allowing four hits and a run in seven innings of a 4-1 win April 18, then three hits and no runs in seven innings of an 8-0 win May 10.
Wakefield makes no secret of the fact he misses Mirabelli. They were close, on and off the field.
"When Doug was released, I was saddened by the whole situation, but by no means did I have any lack of confidence that Kevin couldn't do the job," he said. "He proved it last year and he's been doing great since he took over the job, so I have no worries about him."

- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh shrimp, shelled, deveined and diced

- 1/4 cup canned diced bamboo shoots
- 1/4 cup diced boiled ham
- 1/2 cup diced cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup diced Chinese roast pork or left-over roast beef or veal
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons lard or cooking oil. Beat eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and scramble in oil until firm, breaking into small pieces. Remove and reserve. Heat remaining oil. Add scallion and shrimp and remaining salt. Cook until shrimp shows pink. Break up lumps of cold cooked rice. Add to shrimp. Stir until rice is heated and the grains of rice are separated. Make a hole in the center of the rice. Add all the rest of the ingredients except soy sauce. Stir until thoroughly heated and mixed. Sprinkle soy sauce over rice and mix evenly through. Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with additional chopped scallions if desired.

text: > Let etcupdate skip files with strictly local modifications (patch) I had a similar thought about the postinstall script - which does a similar job in a different way. This was after I'd used 'build.sh instal=xxx' to populate a filesystem for a netbooting client and found almost all of /etc missing. It seemed to me that you needed to know the file that the user had started with. Then you can tell whether there are any local modifications, if not it is (probably) safe to install the new version of the file. If the master file has changed, and the user has added local config stuff, then the user (probably) needs to fix his file to incorporate the standard changes. Something like the CVS diff merging code might actually work - especially if there are no conficts. However as a 'stage 1' I considered requiring the date on the users file to be newer than the one being installed (ie the user has edited it) in order to pass the postinstall checks. This does require that the issue files for /etc be kept somewhere on the target system. /etc/.issue/* could be used. David -- David Laight: email@example.com

No sex tonight?

No sex tonight?
I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.
One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." I said "WHAT????!!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear…
"You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep. The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'll just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went onto the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you…she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck.
I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement.
Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier." I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it." Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled "WHAT???!!!"
I then said, "Really honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"
Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.
Well this is my first post from Boston for 2005 (I wonder how many times I will be coming to Boston this year). Anyway I'm in Boston for a company Boot Camp to kick things off on the building our next generation platform.
It's definitely been a pretty exciting week for me. I've had a chance to meet up in person with people like Kevin Hegg (this guy coding is a piece of art), Dwijen Patel (a database guru), Greg Raiz (an ex-Microsoftie) and Mihindu Senanayake (another ex-Microsoftie).
We are working on implementing a framework based on MSF at BTA and a lot of thought is going into how to customize the team and process models for BTA which is an application service provider. There is a lot of work ahead in terms of actually learning and applying the process successfully. I'm even considering taking becoming an MSF Practitioner when I get back to Colombo. (Update: By the time I was coming to the end of writing this post I already browsed over to the MCT Download Center and started downloading the course materials for Course 1846 – Microsoft Solutions Framework Essentials. I wonder if I will be able to read through all of it and be ready to take the exam by the time I reach Colombo on the 20th of this month).
Lecturing at a University
I've always felt that it would be an honor to lecture at a university and just after the completion of my Masters a couple of doors have opened. The first instance was at IIT where I myself did my Masters. Dr. Keerthi Premadasa who heads the place wanted to find out if I was available to do one of the courses on Object Oriented Programming.
Today, through Jinashri of Microsoft I was put in contact with Dr. Chandima of the University of Kelaniya for a new course they want to start for their Masters on .NET.
With me leaving the country tomorrow for a month, plans have been put on hold till I return. Let's wait and see what the future holds.
I'm testing out w.bloggar in the hopes that it works as well as the BlogJet when posting to dasBlog. Wish me luck.

Full Text Search: The Key to Better Natural Language Queries for NoSQL in Node.js
For example, creating a record set object in a VB component can be more efficient than creating the same in ASP. Because ASP relies on interpreted languages like VBScript/JavaScript, the component and method invocation happen through IDispatch pointer instead of vTable binding. The latter is much faster than the former. Similarly, having a complex calculation subroutine that is used from many places in your Web site in a compiled component can boost performance.
So, making one call to the compiled component from the ASP, which wraps all computations/processing in it, is advisable. Also, the availability of an integrated environment facilitates debugging, and using VB/VC gives the developer much more flexibility for utilizing the strengths of these languages. This compiled code also can be reused from other pages if required.

Indian Accents
Brown Voice and Racial Performance in American Television and Film
Publication Year: 2013
Published by: University of Illinois Press
Series: The Asian American Experience
Title Page
Copyright Page
I owe many thanks to the people who have helped support and develop this project. When I was a graduate student at the University of Michigan, Stephen Sumida and Simon Gikandi encouraged my early approaches to the intersection of Asian American literature and postcolonial narratives. Gail Nomura, Andrea Press, and Patricia Yaeger introduced me...
Introduction: Rethinking Accents in America
In 1990, the animated Indian immigrant character Apu Nahasapeemapetilon made his first extended appearance on the Fox network prime-time series The Simpsons. One of his signature characteristics was his distinct Indian accent. In the episode "Much Apu about Nothing," Apu feels compelled to change the Indian accent...
1. South Asians and the Hollywood Party: Peter Sellers and Brownface Performances
Even though it seems as if South Asians are ever present in contemporary television and film, this was not the case in the twentieth century. Prior to 2000, the most recognizable South Asian characters on American network television was the animated character Apu on The Simpsons (1989–).1 In the film industry, independent filmmakers, British...
2. Apu's Brown Voice: The Simpsons and Indian American Accents
The Simpsons' ninth-season episode "Much Apu about Nothing" reflects the conflict between the promise of the American Dream for immigrants and the pressures of cultural assimilation that lead immigrants to deny their cultural identity and focus on how the vocal nature of brown voice operates as an Indian accent. Apu vents his frustration, after masquerading...
3. Animating Gandhi: Historical Figures, Asian American Masculinity, and Model-Minority Accents in Clone High
During the last week of January 2003, the Indian Press attacked MTV USA programming choices and Maxim magazine's publishing decisions by protesting the "attempt to humiliate the father of the nation," Mohandas Gandhi.1 Indian politicians condemned MTV's promotion of the teenage character Gandhi on the television broadcast animated series...
4. Indian Gurus in the American Marketplace: Consumer Spirituality in The Love Guru and The Guru
One cultural value historically associated in American mass media with South Asians is the practice of Eastern spiritualism. Early Hollywood films depicted India as a land full of mystical powers and religious cults. American cultural representations of Indian spirituality in the 1960s and 1970s were associated with the new-age movement and hippie culture; Indian...
5. The (Asian) American Dream: Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and the Pan-Ethnic Buddy Film
The comedic pairing of the characters Harold Lee and Kumar Patel in the Harold and Kumar films places Asian American and, specifically, Indian accents at the center of American culture. While the previous chapters discuss brownface and brown-voice racial performances as the means to exoticize South Asians as cultural objects or assimilate...
6. "Running from the Joint": Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay and Comic Narrative after 9/11
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008), written and directed by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, not only fits into the genre of stoner films but also is part of a growing body of films that chronicle the events and fallout of the 9/11 attacks in the United States. Hollywood and American television were initially cautious to develop...
Indian Accents presents how racial performance of and by South Asians in American television and film acts as both an expression of privilege and difference with regards to racial identity. The progression of Indian accents, such as brownface and brown-voice performance, is not linear but, in fact, teleological as seen by the reappearance of racial stereotypes...

What is 10x content? Or have you ever tried to create one? It's not easy, is it? Knowing how and where to start can often be the biggest obstacle you'll face. In today's Whiteboard Friday, Rand talks about how good, unique content is going to die, and how you can develop your own 10x content to help it along.
The video at bottom of this page will explains in more detail.
Some Criteria For 10x Content.
Basically, the criteria for 10 times better than what anyone else is doing is the following.
- It has to have great UI and UX on any device.
- That content is generally a combination of high quality, trustworthy, it's useful, interesting, and remarkable. It doesn't have to be all of those but some combination of them.
- It's got to be considerably different in scope and in detail from other works that are serving the same visitor or user intent.
- It's got to create an emotional response. I want to feel awe. I want to feel surprise. I want to feel joy, anticipation, or admiration for that piece of content in order for it to be considered 10x.
- It has to solve a problem or answer a question by providing that comprehensive, accurate, exceptional information or resources.
- It's got to deliver content in a unique, remarkable, typically unexpectedly pleasurable style or medium.
If you hit all of these things, you probably have yourself a piece of 10x content. It's just very hard to do. That's what we're talking about today. What's a process by which we can get to checking off all these boxes?
Step 1 – Gain deep insight.
Gain deep insight into the core of why people are interested in this topic.
Step 2 – We have to get unique.
Consider unique angles on the problem.
Step 3 – Uncover powerful methods to provide an answer.
Uncover powerful, hard-to-replicate, high quality methods to provide an answer.
Step 4 – Find a unique, powerful, exceptional way to present this content.
Expect to succeed 1/5 – 1/10 times. Practice and Experimentation are the only ways to get good.

There is some great news and you can read all about it here:From Dan Crary's Blog June 2017
DanRant: "The Next Chapter"
Hey, "He's baaack!" …as the old saying goes. Actually, 'been around here all along, but I thought it was time to declare the next chapter. I've been working this year with a new lineup of our band, now "Crary, Evans, and Barnick."
Our new guy is Wally Barnick, veteran of the famous West Coast bunch of superpickers known as The Cache Valley Drifters. I've known Wally and listened to his eerily beautiful voice since the 80's when Byron Berline and John Hickman and I produced a record (remember records?) for the Drifters. 'Never forgot that soulful singing voice and now it's my privilege to work with Wally myself. And not only is his voice in great shape, but Wally is one of those people who can find and sing an obscure song that will make you want to listen to it over and over for the rest of your life. Wait 'til you hear Wally sing "Joanne" with us backing him up.
Of course, happily, continuing on with us is Bill Evans, our banjo-meister partner for the last few years now. What can I say about this monster banjo player/scholar/historian/producer, except Crary, you're lucky to work with such a partner. OK, OK, I know I am, and when you hear him lash the 5-string into some beautiful music, you know you've just heard a great moment in the history of that instrument.
And just as basketball teams are judged in part by how deep their bench is, we are also proud to work, when we can get him, with the fair-haired master of fiddle and mando from the Pacific Northwest, Martin Stevens, the "next great American mandolin player." Martin is also a full-time school teacher whose schedule allows us to bring him on when he's not in the classroom. My wife Laree loves to mention that Martin "youthanizes" us; she's right, we need that.
Anyway, is that a power band, or what? Yes, by god, it is.
Sorry, I get to brag on my colleagues.
So we're touring a bit in the west this spring and fall, rehearsing, recording, and getting up a promo package to hit it hard in '18. I've been waking up at 3 AM, mind racing with ideas for a new song or tune arrangement; it's a sure sign… 'only happens when you've got an exciting band chomping at the bit.
Oh yes, and I myself venture out and tour occasionally as a solo player. When I took up the guitar in 1952 I didn't know it would take me to every state, over 30 countries of the world, and more adventures and interesting, exotic friends than I could imagine, all with guitar music in the air. But it did, and I always remember that when some of you friends have come to a gig that's just me and a guitar. Thank you all; it's still amazing that I get to do this.
So there it is: a little description of the new chapter. The old chapter was cool, too; those many years on the road, in the studio, and onstage with Bill and old pal Steve Spurgin had a lot of great times.
Now, with Wally and Bill and occasionally Martin, we're coming atcha' again, and we have a bunch of new (and oldtime) musical surprises to spring on you. It's the next chapter and it's gonna' be beautiful.
And thanks for visiting the new website and keeping track of us; we'll do our best to keep it interesting and worth your while to drop in. 'see you in '18, if not before. dc

How long can you survive against the never ending hordes?
Captain Getsu: Survivor takes the general gameplay concept from the original Captain Getsu, a top down shooter where you switch colour to deliver more damage, and applies it to a horde survival game in a small area. There's a lot more colour as your weapons grow in power creating a much more vibrant game.
It also includes considerably improved controller support, accommodating multiple types of game controllers and utilising the sticks to give much improved reactions and more importantly separating out movement and aiming.This game also includes local multiplayer support with Corporal Baka there to give a helping hand!

On Pro Football: Texans getting defensive
Published 6:30 am, Wednesday, November 4, 2009
It's hard to imagine a new defensive coordinator getting off to a worse start than Frank Bush.
After three games, the Texans were 1-2. They allowed 28.7 points a game. They surrendered 437.7 yards, including 205 against the run. They were on a pace to allow more yards and more yards rushing than any defense in history.
Fans and media insisted Bush was in over his head, just another coach Gary Kubiak hired because of his Denver Broncos background.
Kubiak and Bush admitted they were terrible, but they also said they knew the reasons — four big plays caused by players being out of position. The key, then, wasn't to change the strategy but to change the players.
'Anything it takes'
Over the last five games, the Texans have reduced their run defense from 205 yards a game to 113.3. The defense has gone from 32nd to 16th. They lead the league in forcing three-and-outs with 35. They've forced 14 turnovers, which is fifth in the NFL.
"You don't see guys lying down," said middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans. "We fight, scratch and claw — do anything it takes."
During that five-game period, the Texans have given up 260.4 yards, ranking fourth in the NFL. The 58.2 rushing yards a game ranks first.
Kubiak was asked this week what he's happiest about over the first half of the season. He didn't hesitate before answering.
"The improvement of our defense," he said. "They've improved every week after we had three pretty rough games to start the season. Since then, we've just continued to improve as a group — tackling, getting turnovers, not giving up big plays. That's been the key to where we are right now."
The defensive improvement is amazing considering the Texans still don't have a pass rush. They've recorded only 11 sacks. Only two teams have fewer.
But the Texans are getting enough pressure on the quarterback to disrupt his timing with his receivers.
The Texans have their most physical defense. They've found an intensity that had been missing.
The defensive renaissance began when they put Bernard Pollard at strong safety for the fourth game against Oakland.
"We're mean," Pollard said. "Giving up yards is being nice. If we come out and hit them and continue to hit them and continue to take the ball away, you're going to see big things happening with this defense and with this team.
"We're not going to shy away from anything."
Like raging bulls
Ryans, the captain, is having his best season. Outside linebacker Brian Cushing might be the best defensive rookie in the league. Like Pollard, Cushing is a ferocious hitter.
Bill Kollar, the assistant head coach/defensive line, moved his players around until he found the right combination. They've become quicker and more aggressive up the middle.
Assistant coach David Gibbs' secondary has gotten better. Free safety Eugene Wilson is the most improved player on the defense. Wilson and Pollard give them a productive one-two punch at safety.
Cornerback Dunta Robinson needed to play himself into shape after missing the offseason program and preseason. He and rookie cornerback Glover Quin are physical against the run. Cornerback Jacques Reeves wasn't forced back into the lineup, and he's been making big plays from his nickel spot.
The defense has its toughest test coming up — a trip to Indianapolis, where the Texans have never won. To have a prayer of pulling a stunning upset, the defensive players must attack like raging bulls.
John McClain can be heard on Sports Radio 610 AM on Monday at 8:30 a.m., Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. and Friday at 4:30 p.m.

The wind blew my hair into strong massive tangles,
As I watched the waves rumble by.
The strong sour fragrance of the sea went through my lungs,
And triggered my mind.
I thought not of sweet summer memories,
But of the horror of the world around.
I can find no justice;
Nor understanding,
Of the world around.
And yet, the wind keeps blowing,
The waves keep moving,
To bring a new hope.

Spy 'infiltrated underwear bomb plot cell'
A double agent who infiltrated Al Qaeda's Yemen branch was behind the downfall of an alleged plot to blow up a United States-bound airliner using a new kind of underwear bomb, according to US reports.
American officials leaked details of the extraordinary intelligence coup two days after the White House announced a plot by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) had been successfully thwarted.
Saudi intelligence likely played a pivotal role in disrupting the conspiracy, possibly providing the double agent, former US officials said.
The double agent managed to spend weeks with AQAP before handing over information that allowed the United States to launch a drone strike on Sunday that killed Fahd al-Quso, a senior figure who was wanted for the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen, the New York Times and other media reported, citing unnamed US officials.
A senior US official told the Times that a bomb for the would-be attack was sewn into "custom fit" underwear that would have been difficult to detect even in a careful pat-down at an airport.
Unlike the device used in the failed Christmas Day 2009 plot by AQAP to blow up an airliner en route to Detroit, this explosive had a failsafe in case one detonation method was unsuccessful, the unnamed official was quoted as saying.
The main charge was a high-grade military explosive that "undoubtedly would have brought down an aircraft," the official said, however authorities say no airlines were ever at risk.
US secretary of state Hillary Clinton says the plot shows Al Qaeda's determination.
"They keep trying to devise more and more perverse and terrible ways to kill," she said.
The CIA and other government agencies declined to comment on the reports when contacted by reporters.
US president Barack Obama's administration says the plot was disrupted at an early stage, but left key questions about the case unanswered, including where the bomb was found.
FBI experts have been analysing the seized explosive.
Although officials touted the disrupted plot as a success, they acknowledged AQAP remained determined to strike and its master bomb maker, Ibrahim Hassan Taleh Al-Asiri, was apparently hard at work seeking to circumvent airport security.
"The device has the hallmarks of previous AQAP bombs" that were used in a failed assassination attempt on Saudi's top counterterrorism official in 2009, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, and in the failed Christmas Day bombing that same year, said a senior US official on condition of anonymity.
Former intelligence officials noted that Saudi Arabia was credited with uncovering an AQAP plot in 2010 to blow up cargo planes headed to the United States and that the Saudis are known to keep a close eye on Al Qaeda's branch in Yemen.
"The Saudis have the best insight to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Presumably the Saudis working with the US disrupted this plot perhaps inside Yemen, seized the device, turned that over to the US," Fran Townsend, a former counterterrorism official under ex-president George W Bush, told CNN.
US officials are concerned about AQAP's expansion in Yemen, as the affiliate has exploited recent turmoil despite the threat of strikes from American drones overhead.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who was responsible for the failed 2009 Christmas Day attack, admitted to that conspiracy and was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences in February.
Both cases likely involved the same bomb master, Asiri, and the same approach in which the attacker was allowed to decide the timing and precise location of his suicide strike, he said.
