The Santa Clara
Women's volleyball coach Jon Wallace is more than the driving force behind one of the best volleyball teams in the nation. He is, simply put, one of the best in his trade.
In his fourth year as head coach here at Santa Clara, Wallace has taken a previously unsuccessful program and turned it into a legitimate contender. In 2000, Wallace led the Broncos to their first West Coast Conference title since 1993, while mowing over various team records and receiving Coach of the Year honors along the way.
"Before Jon's arrival we were a team that struggled to finish higher than third in our conference," said senior libero Chrissy Hirsch. "But I really believe that a big reason for the turnaround is that he doesn't view volleyball as a task. Although very tough and demanding in the gym, Jon is a coach that makes playing enjoyable."
Wallace believes his volleyball career affects his coaching. "I view myself as a player's coach," said Wallace. "I believe that my players will feel more comfortable and perform at a higher level if they know I can relate to them."
His ability to understand the wear and tear associated with a long season comes from his playing days at UC-Santa Barbara, where he captained the Gauchos to the NCAA title game in 1988 before earning second-team All-American honors his senior season.
"The fact that Jon has already been through the battles that we go through from his experience at the collegiate level makes him more knowledgeable than anyone," said junior setter Kelli Sousa. "Every day in the gym, whether it is practice or a match, he comes with the attitude that we need to improve."
Added Wallace, "Having been a player myself, I feel more in tune with the game. I understand that the X's and O' s have changed significantly over the years."
Wallace has an open-door policy that allows players to come and meet with him for any reason. The time and commitment he shows to his players adds to the admiration and respect that he already receives for being an outstanding teacher on the court.
"Jon has been a mentor for many of us over the years," said senior defensive specialist Cindy Hirsch. "He has taught us what is truly important in life, by not making volleyball the number one priority. He puts a huge emphasis on our schoolwork and on our families."
Added Chrissy Hirsch, "One of the big jokes on our team is that we call him Papa Jon. He is concerned with his players both on and off the court. He is always there if we need someone to talk to."
The concern "Papa Jon" shows his players has had nothing but positive effects. This season, the Broncos stand at 15-2, poised to crack the top 10 and surpass rival perennial powerhouse Pepperdine for WCC supremacy.
"I am a realist and pragmatist," said Wallace. "All of our girls are winners who have the ability to win the conference. We are mentally as strong as any team in the country, but it will undoubtedly take some luck here and there to beat a team like Pepperdine."
This season, Wallace realistically hopes the team can make it to the round of 16. In terms of the future, there is no question that he has one of the best freshmen classes in the nation. Much of this promise can be attributed to Wallace's ability to recruit.
"Coach finds girls who are not only great players but that have great personalities as well," said junior middle blocker Becky Biniek. "Having such great team chemistry makes the experience that much better."
Take a few nights this fall season to attend some matches at Leavey, and you'll see a tightly knit team that plays the game at the highest level and has the smiles to match. The level of camaraderie and enthusiasm throughout every position is a result of Wallace's success at maintaining the notion that volleyball isn't life.
However, every day Wallace brings an intensity and focus to the court that has helped place him in the upper echelon of Division I coaches.
"Whether we're playing Stanford or Southeast Missouri, every game is equally important in his eyes," said Cindy Hirsch.
This kind of professionalism is likely what will one day catapult Santa Clara women's volleyball deep into the NCAA tourney. Despite losing two exceptional players in the Hirsch twins next year, Wallace will bring back a core of young talent that should, under his guidance, be able to compete with anyone. The challenge lies in not only getting to the top, but staying there as well.
"Our goal is to develop a program that can spike up every few years and make the Final Four," said Wallace. "It will be a big accomplishment to break the top ten, but we know that the ultimate test of greatness is maintaining over time."
Who knows, maybe one day "Papa Jon" will deliver this school a national title.

It is about boundaries between people, not states
In the middle of the field, encircled by police tape, over one thousand people are shaking with cold, illuminated by the flickering flames of open fires and the police cars' lights. I do not see any militant or dangerous individuals, as some would like to suggest to us.
Wkimedia Commons, Author: Vojtěch Dárvík Máca
It's Sunday morning. Dozens of people in Jeseniova street in Prague take over and sort piles of clothes, shoes and food. Other people load what is already prepared into a van. Packages of bottled water, boxes and bags are testing the van's chassis. I am having a cigarette and watch that little masquerade.
"Let´s go as soon as possible," says the petite blonde. "I have to be back at work tomorrow at three o'clock."
Yet it takes a while before the rented van is completely filled. We set out on the road around noon and honestly do not quite know where. A reporter from Czech Television sent me the contacts yesterday, so we assume it will be the very south of Hungary, checkpoint Röszke, or the Serbian village Horgoš. Maybe Subotica as well.
I recall those places when I went there hitchhiking four years ago. It was summer and hot weather. Today it will be different, but I am not making up any idea in advance. Three of us jump in the car and finally go.
We are swallow up the highway's kilometers and the road passes as a long journey can only pass. Slowly. In the Slovak Republic I take over the wheel.
A few kilometers before the finish, we are stopped by a police patrol right at a roundabout. We explain to them we are bringing some stuff for the refugees. They tell us to park a little farther away and wait.
No one is allowed to enter the refugee camp. We are told to stay there until morning. We can't stay here for so long. I park the car; we want to get more detailed information. The moment I get out of the car, a small crowd surrounds me. There are dozens of other cars and drivers. They say I cannot stay here, telling me to park somewhere else.
I do not understand, but I follow and move a few dozen meters next to the bus stop. Again, after getting out of the car, the situation repeats itself, only a different crowd surrounds me and it is a little more upsetting. All of them are Hungarians, based on their language; we do not understand a word of it. But the tone and gestures clearly indicate aggression.
"Five minutes," I say, we need to get at least some information from the cops – if they will search the van, or what is going to happen at all … "No five minutes, go away!" the voice of one of the locals amplifies the demand.
Ok. We go to sit in the van, discussing what to do next. Röszke is about two kilometers ahead of us, just on this small road we are standing on. It is dark. I am a little afraid of a misunderstanding with the Hungarians; we do not know why they are so aggressive. We decide to go on. Either somebody will stop us, or they will let us pass. Nothing more can happen.
The car's nose dives into ever darker and denser darkness. I drive very slowly; occasionally a cocooned, almost invisible figure runs across the road from one side to the other. It's them. We cross the railroad tracks. We are on the spot.
In the middle of the field, encircled by police tape, over one thousand people are shaking with cold, illuminated by the flickering flames of open fires and the police cars' lights. I do not see any militant or dangerous individuals, as some would like to suggest to us.
I see hundreds and hundreds of men, women and children, no one to be afraid of. On the contrary, I see mankind, naked and weak, just like you or me. There is an unidentifiable smell of burnt things stinking in the cold air. Despite the slight chaos, we learn what we can bring in and where. Without the NGOs and others who arrived with their cars from all over Europe, the refugees would have frozen here. It is a freezing hell.
We unload a large part of our things. Bottled water, food. The greatest demand is for warm clothing for babies, sleeping bags, quilts and blankets. It is around midnight, I take my camera and I try to take at least a couple of pictures. So I shoot as we go.
I know that the percentage of failed photographs will be great. We jump in the van soon after and set back for Szeged, where we are to unload the second part of our cargo at the railway station.
We are stopped by the police again on our way back. The man is pretty tactless; his female colleague tries to solve the situation in a more comfortable way with her broken English.
I drive back the whole way back practically only by myself, with only a break for refueling. After 700 kilometers, we are home. It is 7 A.M., not even twenty hours after we set out from Prague. I fall asleep and I know I will fully understand what happened no earlier than tomorrow when I will be sorting the pictures.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, thank you to the people from the Autonomous Social Centre Klinika, thank you to all those who brought the things and the food, thank you to those who made financial contributions to pay for fuel.

text: Keep all tempting goodies in the back! Keep them in the back of the cabinets, in the back of the refrigerator, freezer and pantry. If the goodies are in the back and harder to reach, you may give up before actually reaching them. Out of sight, out of mind. Make sure the candy jar at work and the cookie jar at home are out of sight. Move the candy jar off your desk. If you can't see it, you may even forget there is a candy jar. Think substitutes. Pre-cut and bag hard and crunchy veggies so they are ready to grab instead of a bag of chips. Keep fresh, whole fruit accessible for your sweet cravings. Check in with your body to see if you are actually hungry before reaching for a snack. If you are about to start snacking, distract yourself for 5 minutes with a task unrelated to food such as a phone call or laundry. You may not want the snack when you're done. After dinner shut down your kitchen, lights out, kitchen closed. Is breaking the snack habit easy? Not really, but it is not impossible. For additional support, schedule an appointment with a registered dietitian. Wendy Caamano, MS, CN, dietetic intern, and Debra A.

Eton Park Loads Up on BofA Shares, Cuts Morgan Stanley
Eton Park Capital Management, the fund run by former Goldman Sachs star Eric Mindich, was busy buying Bank of America shares last quarter, according to a new filing Tuesday.
Eton Park disclosed it held, as of Dec. 31, more than 20 million BofA shares, worth $165 million as of Monday's closing price. That's up from the 2.5 million shares the fund said it held at the end of September.
At the end of September, BofA shares traded around $6, and fell to below $5 in December, but have rocketed back to above $8 this year.
Offsetting some of that increase was a steep drop in Eton Park's holding in Morgan Stanley, which was reported at 13.25 million shares, worth $258.9 million, compared to the 23 million shares it held at the end of September.
In total, Eton Park reported $6.96 billion in investments, down from $7.82 billion in holdings at the end of September.
Tuesday is the deadline for stock managers who hold more $100 million in funds to reveal their changes in fourth quarter holdings.
Eton Park also disclosed 1 million shares owned in Yahoo, 1.25 million shares in Autodesk and 2.2 million shares in Goodrich Corp. that were not disclosed last quarter.

When they took out the basketball hoop, the tree trimmers took away the concrete, but couldn't take the rest of the pole away. We tried setting it out with the trash, but apparently they only take things less than 4 feet long or some such nonsense. I detached the hoop-y part and set it out by the street for someone to take, and had an absolutely genius idea for separating the two pieces so they could go in the trash can. Spray the joint down with silicone spray, cool down the inner part with ice, then heat up the outside with boiling water. Grip, pull, done.
Um, no. It is super stuck. Granted, it was Lloyd pulling on it and me pulling on it, which is as effective as a normal person and a noodle working together, so that may have been the problem.
Lloyd tried bashing it with a hammer next, but I think he may just be working through some noodle-related frustrations.
I have solved the problem by hiding the pole under a row of bushes. Good enough.

This is the moment when the pile-up begins. The kind of piles that start to accumulate is different from family to family but normally consist of dishes, laundry, strong emotions, questions about the baby, recycling, email mail and paper mail, and random baby stuff you didn't even know you owned, you get the picture.
After you have a baby is is hard to accomplish task that are not related directly to self care and baby care. This is where a postpartum doula comes in. We are here to get you emotional support and help you prioritize, manage, and sometimes tackle what ever has been piling up in your life.
Knowing you have someone to support you can provide a peace of mind for families. Our work is an essential safety net for new parents and is a missing piece in the current model of care in our culture. Emotional and practical support is overlooked in a society that encourages independence and self reliance.
Our work will help you feel relaxed and able to prioritize sleep and family bonding in the early weeks of parenting.
We value the unique traits of each family and work with all families in throughout the Seattle> Learn more about my background and training as a birth doula and educator.

Knowing that you have someone you can call that will make time and emotional energy to support provides a huge relief. Often families are living far away from family, or don't have family members who are available to support them in the same way a postpartum doula can.

No. We are not house cleaners. We will help with household tasks but really thrive on supporting the needs that come along with welcoming a brand new baby.
No. We help families. To do this everyone needs to be home at once. There are a few exceptions when we will step in to care for a older child or brand new baby but in general the role of a babysitter or nanny does not utilize our skillset and we would rather families enlist skilled providers for those important tasks.
Yes! We are both proficient in the kitchen and are able to whip up food for your family- often while chatting and wearing a baby.

Perth pensioners about to lose home spend last $11 on a lotto ticket - and win $1 million!
A couple in their 60s who were in the process of selling their home because they couldn't make mortgage payments have become millionaires in an instant after spending their last dollars on a Lotto ticket.
Things had gotten grim for this pair of Perth pensioners. Struggling from pension to pension, the couple were preparing to give up their home.
It was then that the woman said she had a dream that they had won Lotto, and asked her hubby if they could buy a ticket.
'I was surprised my hubby let me use our last bit of change to buy the ticket but it was a double win day,' she told The West Australian.
When the wife discovered they had won million she called her husband, but only told him they had won a few thousand.
'I wanted to tell my husband straight away but I was scared the shock of it would give him a heart attack,' she laughs.
When he found out her says he told his wife 'not to be stupid' but when he saw the numbers for himself he was overwhelmed.
'I immediately realised we could afford our next mortgage payment.'
The winning ticket was sold by St Clair Pharmacy and News in Port Kennedy. Owner, George Salib, says that the winnings couldn't have gone to a more deserving couple.

Stroganov School
Also found in: Wikipedia.
Stroganov School
a conventional name for a style of Russian icon painting that flourished in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The name Stroganov appears on the reverse side of many of the icons; however, the artists responsible for most of the icons were not Stroganovs but court icon painters from Moscow who had been commissioned by the Stroganovs, a family of art patrons.
Outstanding features of icons of the Stroganov school include diminutive size, elaborate and masterful execution of details, a soft palette (consisting mainly of pastels, gold, and silver), and dense layers of pigments. Also characteristic are the rendering of lavish vestments, brittle, somewhat affected poses and gestures, and unreal landscape backgrounds. The best-known masters of the Stroganov school were Emel'ian Moskvitin, Stefan Pakhiria, Prokopii Chirin, Istoma, Nazarii Savin, and Nikifor Savin.

Leicester City have sent shockwaves around the world of football with their blistering form this season.
Their title challenge has stunned pundits as Claudio Ranieri's men keep proving the doubters wrong.
But their fans have made their very own shockwaves – as earth-shattering sound from Leicester's King Power Stadium caused a localised earthquake in February.
The tremor was attributed to a "sudden energy release" made by Foxes supporters when Leonardo Ulloa scored a last minute winner against Norwich.
The noise came from a combination of stamping feet, the sound of cheering, clapping and the collective energy of the crowd's roar.
But now Daily Star Online can reveal that the same team of scientists believe a league title could have significantly greater seismic implications as people in the stadium could even feel the earth move.
Adam Harper, part of the University of Leicester team who installed a seismometer near the ground, concedes a Foxes title win could "rock the country".
He said: "Ulloa's goal rocked the city of Leicester, a league title could rock the country.
"If it turned out to be neck and neck like when Aguero scored THAT goal in the 2011/12 against QPR then the seismic activity would be much greater than anything we have recorded so far!
"But as far as predictions go, we can't really be sure as we don't know the exact circumstances of Leicester winning the league.
"We'll have to wait and see."
In February, they recorded an earthquake with a magnitude of 0.3 on the Richter scale and it was dubbed the "Vardyquake" after star striker Jamie Vardy.
Adam added: "The team is made up of Geoscience students from the University of Leicester who's aim is to measure and record seismic activity.
"Our main focus is the impact of goal celebrations at the King Power Stadium.
"It started out with seismometers in a school close to the stadium but we then picked up on the traces from the King Power and correlated them with match goal times.
"The seismic activity we record is like that of an earthquake, and during every match our team is watching the game and monitoring the seismometers at the University."
Between 200 and 300 earthquakes are detected in the UK every year but only 30 of those are strong enough to be felt.
Leicester are at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
They have seven games left to create history by winning the title.
Their next fixture is at home to Southampton.

Through my Eyes
Montefiore Children's Hospital
Through My Eyes was a project we piloted in which we gave cameras to inpatients at Montefiore Children's Hospital. We worked with them in developing weekly photo assignments. The project was designed to allow the young people to share who they are and what they "see", using cameras as a way for them to hold on to and strengthen all aspects of their identities. We hope to expand this work which included connecting the young people via videos with photographers who are doing work of interest to them.

News Release 2009-80 | July 2, 2009
OCC Appoints Receiver for First National Bank of Danville
WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver for First National Bank of Danville, Danville, Illinois. First National Bank of Danville, with approximately $163 million of total assets as of May 31, 2009, was chartered as a national bank on October 26, 1863.
The OCC acted after finding that the bank had experienced substantial dissipation of assets and earnings due to unsafe and unsound practices. The OCC also found that the bank has incurred losses that have depleted most of its capital, and there is no reasonable prospect that the bank will become adequately capitalized without Federal assistance.
The FDIC will release information about the resolution of the bank.

Activity Rationale and Purpose
A rapidly emerging concept that holds the promise of altering the natural history and subsequently outcomes for cancer patients is that of precision—or personalized—medicine. Precision medicine seeks to select the most effective treatment option for each individual patient's tumor, given at the appropriate time in the life cycle of the disease, and predicated upon an understanding of the specific molecular nature of the tumor with the ultimate goal of improving survival and quality of life. There is an immediate and growing need to alert advanced practitioners about the role molecular profiling has in the treatment of ovarian cancer, from a primarily prognostic role to one that can also provide predictive guidance regarding the choice of a specific therapy.
Intended Audience
The activity's target audience will consist of nurse practitioners, PAs, clinical nurse specialists, advanced degree nurses, oncology and hematology nurses, pharmacists, and physicians.
Learning Objectives
After completing this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the differences between prognostic and predictive genomic markers in practice, and the types of cancer in which indicative markers are currently being used in practice.
- Relate NCCN guideline recommendations regarding molecular testing in ovarian cancer, including monitoring for BRCA, and the advantages and potential limitations of findings to treatment planning.
- Describe the goals and challenges for the future broader introduction and implementation of molecular testing into routine cancer patient care and clinical trials that may provide translational insights.

ABOUT BOOK: A stunning story of Holy Week through the eyes of a Roman Centurion
See the triumphal entry of the donkey-riding king through the eyes of Marcus Longinus, the centurion charged with keeping the streets from erupting into open rebellion.
Go behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as a scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.
Witness the confrontation between the Jewish high priest Caiaphas and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.
Understand as never before the horror of the decision to save a brutal terrorist in order to condemn the peaceful Jew to death.
If you've heard the story of Passion Week so often it's become stale, now is the time to rediscover the terrible events leading from Jesus's humble ride into the city to his crucifixion. The Soldier Who Killed a King will astonish
you afresh with how completely Christ's resurrection changed history, one life at a time.

We moved here to be closer to our grandchildren so are truly looking forward to being able to share the holiday with them!
Being close to grandchildren is a great motivation for a move. I'm still looking forward to the joy of grandchildren.
My immediate family is down to just me as my Dad recently passed. I will probably spend Easter with my extended family or my church family. If I have time, I will probably make bulka (bobka to some) for my family to have at Easter.
My dog, Doozy's antics make me laugh. His name says it all. I never know what Doozy will do next. He is driven by food.
3. I enjoy celebrating Passover by attending a Seder.
Hi Caryl. A copy of The Soldier Who Killed a King is now in the mail for you. It may take a week or two to arrive since it is coming from Canada. I welcome any feedback you may have.
David Kitz
3. My husband and I begin Easter by attending Easter Sunrise services and our daughter and granddaughter join us at church services later. Sometimes we go out for lunch and sometimes I cook at home. We do hunt eggs for my 5 year old granddaughter but we make sure that Jesus's Resurrection is our primary focus.
My family is grown but I do have two young grandchildren. After church and a meal we hide eggs for them. But the real fun begins when the kids get to hide them for the parents and aunts and uncles.
And I have pictures to prove it! LOL
I love getting together with family at Easter--such a special time of year celebrating Christ's resurrection.

To become a set dresser working in film, TV or theater, it's a good idea to establish a background in art and design as early as you can. Being a good set dresser means being able to set the desired mood or feeling in a room by paying attention to the details, so practicing doing this can help you gain in-demand skills. Take industry-approved courses in how furnishings, objects and different colors appear on camera. Being a creative, organized person who is also flexible and innovative may help you a lot in your goal to become a set dresser.
Rather than painters who create paintings to be purchased, set dressers must never think that what they do on a set is necessarily finished until it's approved by an art director. They must be able to omit something from their set design and replace it with another item and/or offer new ideas without any notice. Such flexibility in design is essential if you hope to become a set dresser, because the focus must remain on creating a realistic look. You'll have to keep in mind that art directors are looking for realistic-looking details over pure design elements alone.
Being able to understand the lifestyle of the characters, whether it is a theater, TV or film set, is crucial. You will likely have to not only add furnishings to the set, but also stock the fridge and cupboards with items that makes sense for a certain character in the production. If you want to become a set dresser, you'll have to consider details such as a crafts project a character may be working on, what section of a partially read newspaper to leave open or what medicines to have in the cabinet if he or she is supposed to have a cold in the scene. Being able to inject the character's personality into each set is important.
After graduating from an art college, you may be able to break into set designing on commercials. Getting an entry-level job as an assistant set dresser may be possible after college, as might an internship. Look for an art school that covers design on camera and other aspects of the entertainment industry. If you can, choose a program that includes an internship assisting a set dresser, as this will give you some experience. Conduct informational interviews in the entertainment field and mention that your goal is to become a set dresser.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Newcastle University is excited to be hosting GISRUK 2019 and we're looking foward to delivering a memorable 27th edition of the GISRUK conference series. Our conference venue is in the heart of the city on our new Helix site, offering a world-class space for knowledge-sharing, networking, and learning. The theme for this year's conference is 'From Data to Decisions', exploring how geospatial science and research can unlock the power of data to enable decision-makers to tackle the most pressing global challenges. This will be only the second time the conference has been hosted solely by Newcastle University, the other time in 1995, and given that we are the only university offering an undergraduate degree in GIS we feel GISRUK and Newcastle continue to be a perfect fit.
The conference has been planned to be as sustainable as possible, to help those attending GISRUK to reduce their environmental impact whilst not sacrificing the experience and quality of the event. Our city-centre venue allows easy access by public transport and there is ample cycle parking available. We will also be taking steps to reduce the amount of plastic waste generated by the conference. We would ask anyone interested in attending GISRUK 2019 to also consider their impact and where possible take some small steps yourself - this could simply begin by using a re-fillable water bottle!
We hope you enjoy GISRUK 2019!
About GISRUK
GISRUK is an international conference series which has grown out of the UK's national GIS research conference, established in 1993. We have held the conference at venues in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. GISRUK conferences are primarily aimed at the academic community, but welcome delegates from government, industry, and commercial sectors. The conferences attract those interested in Geographical Information Science (GIS) and its applications from all parts of the UK, together with the European Union and beyond. The disciplinary range is broad including, but not limited to, Geography, Environmental Science, Ecology, Computer Science, Planning, Archaeology, Geology, Geomatics and Engineering.
The GISRUK conferences have the following aims:
to act as a focus for GIS research in the UK, while welcoming researchers from Europe and beyond
to provide a mechanism for the announcement and publication of GIS research
to act as an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of research ideas
to promote active collaboration amongst researchers from diverse parent disciplines
to provide a framework in which young researchers (including students) can see their work in a national and international

The Pivot Grid control includes a Microsoft Excel-inspired conditional formatting feature that allows you to change the appearance of individual cells based on specific conditions. This feature helps to highlight important information, identify trends and exceptions, and compare data using the collection of format rules.
You can add, remove or edit format rules in different ways: using the PivotGrid Designer at design time, using API or at runtime. You can easily export the result of conditional formatting to a file in various formats (HTML, MHT, PDF, RTF, TXT, CSV, XLS or XLSX).
To create a new formatting rule at design time, invoke the PivotGrid Designer and go to the Format Rules page in the Appearances section.
Select the FormatRuleBase.Rule property value that specifies the type of a format rule and defines condition and appearance settings applied to data cells.
You can select one of the following rules.
Set the appearance of formatted cells. You can do this in two ways.
The image below demonstrates a configured rule.
To check whether the format rule is correct, use the PivotGridFormatRule.IsValid property. If this property returns true, the format rule is applied to Pivot Grid data cells.
To disable the format rule, set the FormatRuleBase.Enabled property to false.
There are two general ways of applying formatting rules to the Pivot Grid control at runtime: by using the Format Rules Menu or the Conditional Formatting Manager.
Format Rules context menu
If the PivotGridOptionsMenu.EnableFormatRulesMenu property value is set to true, end-users can invoke the Format Rules context menu and select a required rule and predefined style from the list.
To enable the multi-column item layout at the third menu level shown in the image above, add the BarManager component to the form. Otherwise, menu elements at the third menu level will be arranged in a linear list; specific menu items will be displayed without glyphs.
Conditional Formatting Rules Manager
End-users can create, sort and modify the created rules using the Conditional Formatting Rules Manager. To allow end-users to use the Conditional Formatting Rules Manager, ensure that the control's PivotGridOptionsMenu.EnableFormatRulesMenu property is set to true.
To invoke this manager at runtime, select the Manage Rules... item from the Format Rules context menu.
The Pivot Grid control allows you to apply conditional formatting to data cells or field value cells. By default, an empty collection of style format rules is created with a new instance of the PivotGridControl. The PivotGridControl.FormatRules property provides access to a collection of PivotGridFormatRule objects that are used to define formatting settings.
To add a new format rule, create the PivotGridFormatRule object and specify the following settings.
Finally, add the created format rule to the PivotGridControl.FormatRules collection.
See the list below for information on conditional formatting limitations.
The following sample applies format rules to Pivot Grid Control's data cells. The FormatConditionRuleDataBar class allows you to see a cell value relative to other cells. A longer bar corresponds to a higher value, and a shorter bar corresponds to a lower value. Cells placed at the intersection of 'Year' column and 'Sales Person' row are painted with yellow gradient.
The image below shows the result.

Do you want your girlfriend to love you more? Do you want her to become more affectionate towards you? If so, you've come to the right place!
Women think very differently than how men think. If you really want to score some points from your girlfriend, you must know how they think. First of all, you must treat your girlfriend like a princess. They like to know that they are the center of your attention and that they deserve only the best.
Being in a relationship can sometimes become a bit boring. This is when you must act to create that spark again. And this is when you forget to do all the little things that you used to do for your girl when you first met her. Try to remember the simple things you used to do: opening the door for her, randomly giving her flowers for no reason, buying something just because it made you think of her, a sweet phone call to tell her you love her, just anything that will bring a smile to her face.
So, let's get started with some point gainers from your ladies! The following won't be in any particular order, so you can do them in any order! Step one, send your lover a subtle, yet suggestive, email or text.
The next time that you are away from your lover, leave her a letter for her to read for each day you guys are apart; compliment your girlfriend in front of others!
Sneak inside her bathroom and leave a love letter on the toilet paper roll! Tell her that you love her every morning and every night.
Pamper her by taking her to get a pedicure/manicure! Girls love to feel beautiful and this will make them excited! Hold her hand whenever you guys go out in public!
Snuggle in bed and tell her all the reasons why you love her. Or you can even set up a romantic dinner for her, all made by you! Surprise her with an unexpected gift. It doesn't have to be expensive-just something to let her know that she was on your mind.
Plan a romantic breakfast-in-bed during a weekend. Make all of the arrangements yourself and surprise her! Start filling up a jar with loose change. When it gets full, redeem the change for a present that your girlfriend likes!
Listen to all the things your girlfriend tells you when you guys go out to do something. For example, if she likes to go to a certain concert, surprise her with the tickets! You'll get major points for this!
Do something together. Take a dancing class, play tennis, start exercising, etc. Just do it together. This one is a goodie! Make a redeemable coupon book for her so that she could use it whenever she wants to! MAJOR MAJOR points!
There are many things and creative ways that you can always surprise your girlfriend to impress and make her happy. The bottom line is, always love her with all your heart and treat her like a princess every single day. Make her feel special. Go out of your way to do things for her. The truth is, girls want to feel like they are the world. And if you make them feel that way, you will win any girl's heart.

A gentle nudge…slowing down #SAVMP
photo credit: Loozrboy via photopin cc
Sometimes inspiration comes at just the right moment. Lately, I have been moving at warp speed. At times, I get so caught up in the "doing" that it is difficult to slow down and reflect.
Earlier this school year, I signed up to participate in an innovative program launched by George Couros (@gcouros), the School Administrator Virtual Mentor Program (#SAVMP). I have been fortunate to connect and learn with committed educators who are sorting through how to lead the way forward to innovative learning in our schools and communities. And, I have had a tough time juggling the competing demands of doing the work and reflecting on the work. I tend to lean more in the direction of the "doing" part (the slowing down part, not so much).
So, this week when George provided a "gentle nudge" to program participants to take time to stop and reflect and share our learning through blogging and tweeting, I was inspired to take stock. In his blog post, You can Close the Door (Sometimes), George offers a timely reminder that it is "high priority work" for educational leaders to stop and reflect and share as a key component of creating an open culture of learning among educators.
At first his post struck me as an interesting counterpoint to my recent post on the power of connections by "opening our doors" by sharing our professional practices. The juxtaposition of open and closed doors made me think — both are necessary to our continued growth and learning.
It is only by closing our door (sometimes) that we are able to truly reflect on not only what we're doing, but why it is important to our larger purpose. Running on empty does not really promote deep thinking or learning. Without our best thinking, it is virtually impossible to focus our energy on taking the next right steps to move forward. Taking the time to reflect enhances our ability to engage more meaningfully with others. It seems to me that both are essential to building a collaborative culture that promotes deeper learning and purposeful action toward our common goal.
What are your thoughts on how to slow down and take time for deeper reflection?

Asian stocks rose to their highest in a month Thursday as a rally in gold and oil lifted resource shares, while a surprisingly optimistic indicator for U.S. jobs raised hopes of a milder U.S. economy recession than previously feared.
The U.S. private sector added 8,000 jobs in March, according to a report on Wednesday by ADP Employer Services, confounding economist expectations and taking some of the sting off the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's warning that the U.S. economy may slip into recession, his first such concession.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 Average rose 1.5 percent to a one-month high as financial firms extended gains, but market energy was limited by wariness ahead of U.S. jobs data and the start of big Japanese corporate earnings reports next week. Casual-clothing seller Fast Retailing rose 4 percent and Toshiba jumped 5.9 percent after the firm said it was in the race for four nuclear reactor orders in the United States, which other firms estimate to be worth a total of $14 billion.

Stefan, do I detect a little china fetish? How many sets do you have, for goodness sake? I am totally jealous...

You caught me -it's a disease! I have quite a lot in fact...lol. I'll never get bored!!!

I love your serving pieces. You have such grand taste in china -- I coveted the Wedgwood Cuckoo -- and bought some plates -- which I adore!
You set a very pretty table -- and I do love the cloth -- white is so classic but sometimes it is fun to have a little pattern and a little color under the dishes!
- April 7, 2010 at 4:20 PM
- ArchitectDesign™ said...
Exactly, Martha - the tablecloth makes it a bit less formal and a lot more fun (the bunny face suckers don't hurt!).
The Cuckoo is my all-time favorite pattern though :-) I just wish my service of it was big enough for a larger party! I have enough for dessert for a larger group - but only 4 for dinner :-( I'll keep trolling ebay!

Another elegantly stated table Stefan. I love the Cuckoo pattern and the table cloth is beautiful. The entire color palette is fantastic. I would love to have a room with this color combination. Thank you for yet another inspiring jaw dropping table.

Your table looks marvelous. I do hope your guests enjoyed the day and all your hospitality. I know that I would feel very special at your table.

Beautifully set, as always. I love the ranunculus, I never see them at the florist here.
- April 7, 2010 at 4:53 PM
- ArchitectDesign™ said...
Thanks, Julio! Yes, the 2 china white's didn't QUITE match up, but otherwise it all came together well :-) The reds and tans were really beautiful -maybe a bit more of thanksgiving colors than easter, but more masculine.
PVE, thats the whole point to setting a table, don't you think? Making your guests know they are special and welcome!
David -thanks! Ranunculus are pretty easy to find here. I actually got these are trader joes and just cut them down to fit into old candle jars! I like them for a table because they're not scented.

Did my invitation get lost in the mail......again???

What a feast for the eyes! (ba bum bum che!)
I really love the Ernst Wahliss plates! Everything looks stunning together...so happy its Spring.
- April 7, 2010 at 5:40 PM
- ArchitectDesign™ said...
Acanthus, thank you :-) You have to know how to have some fun!
Daniel - this was the first time I had used the plates (relatively new). I was so excited! I guess they're dessert plates really as they came with a cake platter which I used with dessert - angelfood cake with fresh whipped cream and strawberries. I used the sanssouci white dessert plates which we had up on my roof deck to enjoy the great weather!

Stefan-- I have serious China envy. I have several antique sets that I inherited,wedding china and mismatches and love every piece. My husband would kill me if I got more but that does not stop me from wanting it.
Love the suckers too!

Lovely indeed. So sorry I couldn't make it :-)
Minton did some wonderful patterns in the 19th century---I recently sold a large dinner service similar to your pieces, was thrilled to find it.
and those red floral plates---terrific pattern. Definitely looks like a party worth wearing rabbit lips for

What a lovely table. Shows you enjoy entertaining and are a very gracious host to boot. I hope it was as much fun as it looked.

I think there is nothing more glorious than carefully culled china, each lovingly chosen for its own exquisite properties. Unmatched though it may be, it is personal, unique, authentic -- showcasing a table that is truly one of a kind. What could be more gracious in a host than that?

Beautiful transferware! I love the stuff. So great to see it featured. Quite elegant actually. Bravo!

Hi Stefan-
It's very welcoming--and not overwhelming for the guests.
I love the paisley tablecloth--a great and useful pattern (would not show spots)...that could be brought out again for Thanksgiving, for example.
I like your point about unscented flowers. These are cheerful but not too 'much' of a statement.
I especially like the fact that some of the resources are well prices (Trader Joe)...which would make guests feel comfortable that you did not spend a bundle on them...lots of style for prudent price.
See you soon in San Francisco.
cheers, DIANE

Beautiful setting - lovely and refreshingly not insanely floral (a common Easter affliction)! We own the same flatware so I love seeing it used in a fresh and inspiring new way. You have a beautiful china collection.

Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum
When it comes to perfumes, I tend to repurchase my old favourites instead of trying something new. However, every now and then I come across something so special that needs to be purchased. In this case after receiving a body lotion sample of Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire, I waited for months to use up what I already owned until I finally added it to my collection. Here's why it's so special.
While coming home from Rome with a few extra euros to spend, I walked straight to duty free in search of this perfume and luckily there were plenty. I looked at all the different kinds available but I knew I had to get the one my heart was set on. One thing that I should say is that this review focuses on the eau de parfum version. Normally the eau de toilette smells similar but to me these smell like completely different perfumes.
The perfume itself comes in a gorgeous glass bottle with a silhouette of a black dress (hense the name little black dress!) and a pink faded to black coloured bottle. It's a gorgeous, simplistic design that will look great on any dressing table.
The fragrance itself is definitely on the sweet side. Fragrantica describes it as: "Inspired by the elegance and eternity of a little black dress, the perfume exudes Parisian chic and gracefulness. It opens with playful and sparkling aromas of black cherry, bergamot, red berries and almond. Bulgarian and Turkish roses rule the heart, further developing with notes of licorice and smoked black tea. Aniseed, tonka bean, vanilla, iris and patchouli form the base."
For me personally I find the black cherry element stands out and it has a sort of soft and sweet, powdery finish to it. I would say it's more of a nighttime fragrance on the sort of sexy and sophisticated side of things. It might be a little bit old for teens in my opinion but someone in their 20s and above would definitely appreciate it.
As for the price at £68.00 for this size, it's not cheap but I wouldn't say it's outrageous either for an eau de parfum, especially from a designer brand such as Guerlain. I think it would be a wonderful gift for someone special or if you feel like treating yourself, a well earned treat! Allbeauty.com currently have it around £30 cheaper than anywhere else for the 50ml (same size as above) so definitely take advantage if you're thinking of picking it up!
Where to buy: Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum - Allbeauty.com (£38.00)

IgE synthesis suppressor factor: modifications in the course of long-term immunotherapy
de las Marinas MD, Sanz ML, Diéguez I, Latasa M, Oehling A.
Department of Allergology and Clinical Immunology, School of Medicine, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain
Revisão:Journal Investigational Allergology and Clinical Immunology
Data: 1/Mar/1993Alergologia e Imunologia Clínica
Many authors have described an increase in total serum IgE values during the first few months of immunotherapy (IT), followed by a subsequent decrease.
In previous studies in patients undergoing medium-term IT, we detected an IgE synthesis suppressor factor (SF), which was modified during the course of IT. In this study, we investigated the influence of long-term IT on the production of SF and the lymphocyte response to its stimulus. Mixed bidirectional cultures of lymphocytes isolated from healthy individuals (n = 62) and allergic patients (n = 98) were carried out after different periods of IT. The resulting supernatants were subjected to affinity chromatography, from which two fractions were obtained: the first one, likely to contain SF, was added to lymphocyte cultures from 13 allergic patients undergoing no IT (LyG1) and 6 allergic patients with > 3 years of IT (LyG5), in order to assess its inhibitory effect on IgE synthesis. We found that patients undergoing IT for > 3 years presented a significant increase in SF production and an important lymphocyte response to exogenous SF from most of the groups studied, but little response to their own SF.
These results could be ascribed to an alteration in the quantity and/or structure of the lymphocyte receptors likely to be sensitive to these factors induced by IT.

Faulty white goods such as tumble dryers and dishwashers are causing an average of one fire every week across the county.
That is according to new figures from Herts County Council's fire and rescue service, which show that 25 fires have been causwed by tumble dryers over the last two years.
Over the same period 24 fire were caused by washing machines and 20 by dishwashers.
Fire and rescue bosses are now asking residents to be safer in seconds by registering their fridges, freezers and washing machines on the website www.registermyappliance.org.uk
The site has been updated to be optimised for smartphones, makes registration of over 60 leading brands of old and new appliances faster and easier via mobile, tablet or PC.
Top tips for avoiding white goods fires:
• Don't leave appliances running overnight or when you're out of the house unless they're designed to be left on all the time (such as fridges);
• Register your appliance online so that the manufacturer can notify you about any recalls or safety concerns;
• Look after your appliance. Build-ups of dust, fluff or grease increase the likelihood of fire;
• Don't use damaged appliances. If they start to make odd noises or aren't working properly stop using them and get them checked;
• Check if an appliance you've bought, or are intending to buy second hand, has been recalled at www.electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk/product-recalls/
