The Wisconsin CIBER collaborates with its strategic partners to offer seminars, workshops and conferences on timely international topics, helping Wisconsin businesses succeed in the global marketplace. Partners include:
Recipient of 2012 Donald C. Leidel International Business Scholarship to attend Middle East Institute conference.
"The conference allowed me to get out of the classroom and look up from the textbook to learn what current experts in the region had to say about the Middle East. My favorite part was an interview with former Ambassador Ryan Crocker. His in-depth assessments an on-the-ground experience of the current situation in Afghanistan made his comments a fresh relief from the typical news media reports about the area."
"The FDIB Vietnam trip was one of the best professional experiences of my career. It provided a unique and enjoyable opportunity to learn about the economic, political, and cultural context of Vietnam and the unique challenges that organizations face in doing business in Vietnam. It is also a wonderful opportunity to meet faculty from other institutions and draw on their perspectives in learning about and understanding the Vietnam context."
"Academically, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has a world-renowned undergraduate business program. I want to challenge myself to get the most out of HKUST's rigorous academics. Outside of classes, I look forward to rubbing shoulders with peers from all around the world. I'd like to see class projects, the news, issues, and the business world from their viewpoints... Study abroad is a chance for any young person to step out of a comfort zone, take risks, and learn how to be adaptable; it's a way to better understand the world around me."
To learn more about Belle's experience in Hong Kong, visit Business Badgers Abroad blog
"As a student pursuing a degree in both economics and Middle East studies, it is very rare for me to find opportunities on campus that successfully integrate the two subjects. At the Middle East Institute conference, I was able to hear insightful arguments about politically relevant topics in the Middle East through every sort of lens imaginable, ranging from a professor at Tel Aviv University to a former specialist head of CIA operations."
"A supply chain is a big puzzle where the pieces constantly change shape. Explaining how these pieces work (or don't work) to students is a lot easier when you have actually seen the puzzle pieces first hand. The FDIB to Indonesia allowed me to see a great number of puzzle pieces. These two weeks have been two of the most valuable of my career."
"Meeting ambassadors and touring the capital while learning more about an area of the world I am interested in was amazing and inspiring. It has helped focus the direction of my future career and I cannot wait to apply what I have learned to my classes and general conversations. "
"The site visits on the FDIB to Indonesia were especially good. We were exposed to a variety of organizations, including the US Consulate, a local private university, and Indonesian multinational conglomerates, as well as small family-owned businesses. As expected, we saw some factories that would not meet OSHA's standards, but we also visited some local businesses with very progressive human resource practices, such as incentives for quitting smoking and losing weight."
"I was chosen as project manager for our GBP Team. The best parts of my experience with GBP included learning how to manage a virtual team in an international context while conducting research and developing recommendations for our client. Working on a cross-cultural real life business problem cannot be matched in a classroom setting… I felt it was the best learning experience of my semester. The issues I encountered and the problems solved cannot be matched by any other experience. I truly believe that all students would benefit from a similar experience."
"The GBP was a great addition to my MBA curriculum! I was the project leader of a team that worked with AGCO, an agricultural equipment manufacturer in Brazil, and I had an awesome team of fellow MBA's across various universities. The challenge of managing a virtual team of client resources, MBA team members, and a faculty advisor was an incredible—and practical—experience. Not only was it a fantastic learning experience, but I have great connections and memories from our trip that I will keep for a lifetime! I highly recommend the GBP to all MBA students."

The Anson County Tourism Development Authority held its monthly meeting on Wednesday, discussing several current projects.
TDA director Dave Smith updated the board on his advertising efforts in various venues, including his request for a media kit from the Atlanta, Ga.-based travelgirl magazine. Smith said that a factor in his advertising venue choices are partially influenced by the fact that women make 75 percent of family travel decisions, thus making women a key demographic to reach.
TDA vice chairman Jeff Boothby gave the board's financial report, saying that as of November, the TDA has over 71 percent of its budget left for fiscal year 2012-2013. The TDA also has an average increase of over 17 percent in revenues for this fiscal year so far, according to Boothby, who hopes that the upcoming holidays will positively affect the increase.
The board also discussed creating a committee for historical projects. Boothby stated that the board needs to compile a list of potential volunteers who might be interested in working with the historical groups. The goal would be to have volunteers to serve in various capacities, such as tour guides. Group discussion included suggestions that the volunteers have consistent times to staff the museums and that the historical society possibly implement a small minimum donation in order to generate income. TDA chairwoman Jessica Anderson suggested that if enough volunteers were recruited they could work shorter two- to four-hour shifts rather than have a couple of volunteers work all day. Boothby encouraged board members to send him lists of candidates they thought might be interested in volunteering.
Boothby also provided an update on the proposed county blueway, saying that the grant funds are available and that someone just needs to do it. "I feel like we could use this as a main advertising point," Boothby said. The proposed blueway would use the Pee Dee River, with the blueway ideally extending through Union and Stanly counties and creating nearly 100 miles of blueway trails to the South Carolina state line, with 53 miles in Anson including accesses, according to Boothby and Anderson.
The board also discussed the Central Park Bicycle Plan, which is still in the planning stages, according to Anderson. Currently, the North Carolina Department of Transportation is planning to create bicycle lanes and signage, according to Anderson. More information on the Central Park Bicycle Plan, including maps and the spring 2012 meeting minutes for Anson County, is available at www.ptrc.org.
The board also discussed a possible cornbread-bakeoff to be held in Morven, which Smith proposed to the Morven Town Council on Nov. 5; the council expressed interest at that meeting in the bakeoff and encouraged Smith to approach them again after hearing more about sponsors. Anderson suggested gauging interest in national sponsors; suggestions for sponsors ranged from cornbread companies to cookware companies.
Smith's suggestion to add further marketing areas on the travel site guestquest.com was tabled until after efforts with the historical project and the blueway have hopefully generated guests and income. "We need to be able to say, 'Look— come here for this,'" Boothby said. The historical project and blueway would provide definite attractions to promote instead of a general county location, giving the TDA specific points of interest to market.
The board went into closed session to discuss personnel matters before adjourning.

Hehe, nothing wrong with being a Trekkie! My friend is a self-confessed Jedi, he recently spent about $400 on a light saber replica.
My old flatmate adored everything Star Trek, I confessed to her that I had never seen a full episode and so made it her duty to sit me down for a few. =)
She would be so very jealous of you for meeting those people from the shows.
I'm sorry to hear of him passing away, at least you got to meet him beforehand and he got to meet his many fans. He sounds very nice for making that extra effort of getting to know the fans and to answer questions.
Thankyou Jiro for the siggie. ^.^

Wowsers 400 dollars! I suppose I recall similar replicas for Star Trek at those conventions so I guess I shouldn't be surprised ^^
Oooh if you ever have some TV time, Spike I think it's called, that station is always showing repeats of TNG. I think Nick always has the original and TNG (my brain sucks, Brendan is prolly going to come on here and correct me hehe!). Could be the other way around. They are definitely worth seeing.
Did your flatmate show you any yet? If so did you like them?
She probably would have enjoyed those conventions. The actors are quite willing to tell you about private jokes on the sets and background stories. They are always very entertaining.
Though sometimes I'd run into a Trekkie that was... a bit too hardcore and omg.... sometimes people are scary
Most of the time I didn't find that though.
I did see Leonard Nimoy once in Seattle. It's amazing the difference between his convention and James Doohan. Leonard stood on the stage, very far away from fans and it was almost formal. He was a good speaker, but perhaps he had been mobbed one too many times because he just didn't seem so much into it. Or perhaps he wasn't feeling so well that day - either way it was so different from James Doohan. But then no ones convention was ever as good as Jimmy's ^^

I watch TNG on Spike alllll the time. If it isn't Star Trek on Spike, it's CSI, which means Spike is my favourite channel.
My dad used to take me to Star Trek conventions when I was a little girl. I got to hear William Shatner speak at one of them. I was too young to really understand though. I remember getting really bored. I was always more of a TNG fan anyway, even at that age.
I saw Marina Sirtis at one of the comic conventions I went to. I felt awful for her. There was a huge line of salivating fanboys waiting for autographs, and a halo of people taking pictures of her. She looked exhausted and overwhelmed and a little annoyed (but still totally beautiful). She really changed her look she straightened her hair, for one but she still looks as beautiful as when she was on the show all those years ago. So I didn't line up I didn't want to contribute to her harrassment. I just felt happy to see her in the real world.

Hehe I feel the same, TNG is the best, I still watch it several times a week. If there's nothing on that's what I'm watching.
Marina Sirtis was very beautiful in person. I saw her many years ago.. she was a very good speaker, totally cracked me up. She has a great sense of humor. I was one of those people that lined up at my convention but... I slip by fast, too shy to talk to anyone really. I'm sure most of them would rather get it over with too.
Funboys are pretty crazy.. those people I never forget. The one I always remember most is the one that was standing in line behind me at one of my very first conventions and he brought along notebooks full of star ship diagrams and blueprints of all sizes. The guy knew what deck everything was on and he even created his own ships. He was really drooly over the women, had tons of pictures in another notebook. He seemed to be most in love with his blueprints. All the ships were extremely detailed (really the guy should have been an architect). It was amazing and frightening at the same time. I know that doesn't sound bad but if you saw him and listened to the way he talked about things... well.. I was happy when the doors opened and the line got to move in.
That's so cool that your dad used to take you, too bad they were boring lol... did you get to see all the crazy stuff they were selling in the merchandise rooms? I was always so wide-eyed walking through there. So many homemade very real items and very rare items I'd never seen or heard of. The merchandise rooms were an experience all by themselves hehe.

I don't remember the merchandise from those conventions... but now I work in a collectibles shop so I'm on the other side of the cash register. I'm selling the $400 collectibles instead of buying them.
I remember when I was lining up to get my comic book signed by Warren Ellis... I was first in line, because I had a friend who was working at the convention and gave me a heads up of when Warren Ellis would be coming out. There were two guys behind me, each with boxes of comics they wanted Warren to sign. I just had my one copy of an issue of Transmetropolitan, which I had also gotten signed by the artist, Darick Robertson.
Those two guys struck up a conversation with me (they ALWAYS do, whenever they see a chick at a convention), trying to show off how much of Warren Ellis' work they had. I wasn't impressed. Like I said, I work at a comic/collectibles shop; I could buy everything they had at a discount, if I wanted to spend senseless amounts of money. They boasted how much stuff they had already gotten signed by Warren Ellis, and how they just had this box (!!) left to complete their collection. To me, getting an autograph is just an excuse to meet the person and say how much you admire them, so one autograph is quite enough for me.
I told them that, and they were like, "Err, ahh, yes, hrm hrm hrm..."
So Warren Ellis came out, and I got to take a picture with him (with his arm around me, eee!!
). And then those other guys came up, and Warren rolled his eyes and said in that amazing southern English way, "You've got to be joking. I'm signing five books, that's it."

Ah, we dont get Spike or Nick here, we do get Nickelodeon but only on Foxtel/Cable which I don't have.
We do have one Star Trek show at midnight... Star Trek Voyager (?) I think it's called? I watched with her an episode of that and another of a different series.. excuse my lack of knowledge... haha... They werent bad, I felt like I've been missing out on something really great, for a show to inspire and entertain so many generations of fans.
I've always been fascinated with how a TV show can make such a cultural impact, and yes... with it... fans who borderline on stalkers.
Your right Elana, an autograph is just an added bonus to meeting and greeting the people themselves, it's a sad thing when all people care about is how many they have or if they intend to sell it on eBay.
(By the way... I want your job!)
Thankyou Jiro for the siggie. ^.^

I soo agree... I think I'm a bit envious of Elana's job too
Sounds like a lot of fun.
Hehe I remember seeing trek fans like that. I usually had trading cards, magazines or the convention program signed. I never brought in a pile of stuff to sign, thats so rediculous. When I see people like that I always assume they are going to resell on ebay and that the person means nothing to them. It makes me sad to see so much of that, but it's certainly out there unfortunately.
I agree with what you say on the autograph. I only wish I had more words to ever say. I get so nervous talking to people - yet alone talking to a celebrity. I was always pretty much a nervous wreck doing that and only ever managed to say cheesy garbage if I ever managed to say anything. Most of the time I just thanked them for the experience. I'm not so outspoken or good with people IRL. I'm much better at conversation online because I think clearly and edit before pressing "Post".
To me the autograph says "I was there, I experienced that" and it's so associated with all the good memories of those times. I never sold a single signed item I got at those conventions and I'm sure I never will, not unless I get desperately poor. That'd be a sad day...
Bokjo: aww too bad. Voyager was alright... I stopped watching in the middle of that one. After Gene Roddenberry passed away (creator of st) things seemed to get less... entertaining. Voyager wasn't one of his creations and it showed
If you ever get a chance catch some TNG ^^ (preferably not from the first season lol)

Ha ha, Kat beat me to everything I wanted to say. "Warning: while you were typing a new reply has been posted!" And while I was re-writing I thought of a jillion other things I wanted to say, so um... feel free to scroll past my rambling at any point.
Ewwwwww, Voyager!
That stuff isn't even a shadow of the goodness of the older series. (Just my opinion. My very strong opinion.)
Yes, I completely agree with Kat that the spirit of the show was lost when Gene Roddenberry passed away. He understood that the show was meant more like an utopic moral compass to examine ethical issues and stuff like that. Without him, it just turned into... hmm... a sci-fi soap opera.
Ha ha, yeah, my job is definitely a novelty... I got lucky and got this job in high school, and hung on to it since. It's been easy pocket money all through school.
Honestly, I would kind of do it for free, because I just read comics all day.
But yeah, I also get really tongue-tied when I confront people I admire. I just try to be honest. Mostly I just blurt out a long series of "thank you"s and get funny looks. But I remember one time I met two other comic writers who wrote some of my favourite books. I met Jimmy Palmiotti, and I was a fan of his from when he wrote
21 Down
, although I didn't know at the time that he was more famous for inking and art. Everyone else had their stacks of
comics or whatever, that they had taken down the line, to get it signed by the writer, the artist, and now the inker probably just to increase their value, blah blah blah. But I brought him my copy of
21 Down
#1. He saw it and was so happy, and declared, "Finally someone brought the good stuff!" I told him that I work in a comic shop and recommend
21 Down
to all my customers (which was true). He told me that it meant a lot to him, and I really felt how pleased and touched he was. That made me really happy.
And then there was the time I met Bill Willingham, who writes
, which is a really magnificent comic book... a lot of people bring in number ones or comics that will be worth more or whatever, but I always try to pick the issues that were the most meaningful to me, or that are conversation starters with the writer. I chose a fairly recent issue that had such an emotional ending that it nearly made me cry and I had to read it over and over right away. I told him that, and we were able to have a short conversation about how that part of the plotline was really emotional, and he seemed pleased that a fan had appreciated the craftsmanship he had put into the ending.
Oh boy, now I'm getting way too talkative...
I remember the time when I met J. Michael Straczynski, who is famous for many things, not least of which is creating
Babylon 5
. I am by no means a fan of
Babylon 5
(in fact it looked pretty silly, from what I saw of it), but I was blown away by his issue of
Amazing Spider-man
that was a response/tribute after 9/11. So I brought my copy of Amazing Spiderman #36 (which is quite rare now, and rather valuable how I got my hands on a copy is a story in itself). It is often called the "Black Issue" because the cover is all black. I bought a silver Sharpie so that his autograph would show up.
Of course the line up was filled with, um, "very enthusiastic" Babylon 5 fans who had brought all sorts of crazy paraphernalia for him to sign, and I just had my one comic. The fans were quite possessed, jabbering away about obscure Babylon 5 trivia to me and to him, and he smiled patiently and signed their stuff. I brought him my comic and told him how amazing it is I had actually used it in a presentation for a modern history course, and parts of it make me cry every single time I read it. He was impressed that I was prepared enough to bring a silver Sharpie
but still seemed a little distracted by the prospect of signing hordes of weird Babylon 5 stuff. So I reached out to take my marker back, and he stares at my hand and shakes it, and I'm like, "um, thank you, but I just wanted my Sharpie back", and he laughed and gave it to me. Luke (my boyfriend) was there and said that the look on his face was, "Oh no, I've definitely been hanging around with too many crazy people." It was a funny moment.
Oh phew, that was long-winded!

The Network has been in existence in different forms, for probably 15 years in Manchester, but this is the first time that it has become formally constituted. Now that we are a 'proper' organisation, it means that we can apply more easily for funding, and we are working towards obtaining a grant, in order to do some interesting stuff with the Network in the future. Read more »
Three years on, we want to look both at the progress being made, but also to create a meaningful and detailed action plan for the whole of Greater Manchester. Read more »
This next straw bale course will give you the basic practical skills you need to work with straw. You will learn how to build a high quality, air-tight and durable straw building from base plate to wall plate. We will be covering everything from dressing the bales to compression. Read more »
The 1st day will be looking at foundations, different types of ovens and what different materials can be used and getting started on the first layer of the oven. Read more »
The course is open to all, no previous experience (or courses) are required. It will be useful to those wishing to apply permaculture in urban and sub-urban settings. In addition, the tutors and the expected participants should prove to be a useful resource for people who wish to apply permaculture design within their business or career, and also those involved in community-based projects of all kinds. The course will be led by Angus Soutar with support from visiting teachers. Angus has experience of permaculture design in commercial situations, and he is keen to share the lessons from this during the course. Read more »
The setting is within an existing 2 acre wooded area at the top of Prestwich Clough (next to the South Clough allotments). It is Council owned land and we have been given permission to create the garden. It is an ideal location, being a south facing sloping site with good soil and some existing fruit trees and bushes (the land was part of the allotments many years ago). Read more »
The course will aim to be interactive and bring an awareness of the relevance of permaculture design to people and urban contexts as well as land projects, plus provide students with:
· an understanding of the core ethics and principles at the heart of permaculture design
· a deeper understanding of some of the useful templates observable within nature
· an opportunity look at your own life, livelihood and surroundings and assess where energy is efficiently used and waste
· a group of likeminded contacts starting out in permaculture design
· inspiration to enrol on a full permaculture design course, and/or a bunch of new ideas for immediate ways to get growing in your life and projects. Read more »

Power Tip #4: Damping an Input Filter " Part 2 of 2
Robert Kollman, Texas Instruments
(Editor's Note: To see a linked list of all entries in this series, click here.)
In Power Tip #3, we discussed how the source impedance of an input filter can turn resistive, and how it can interact with the negative input impedance of a switching regulator. At worst case, these impedances can be equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign to make an oscillator. A general criterion has been established that the source impedance of an input filter should be at least 6dB less than the input impedance of a switching regulator as a safety margin to minimize the chance for oscillation.
The design of an input filter usually begins with selection of an input capacitor (CO of Figure 1) based on ripple current rating or hold-up requirements. The next step usually involves selecting an inductor (LO) based on the system's EMI requirements. As we saw last month, near resonance the source impedance of these two elements can be quite high, leading to an unstable system. Figure 1 presents a method to control this impedance by placing a series resistor (RD) and capacitor (CD) in parallel with the input filter. The filter could be damped with just a resistor across CO. However, in most cases the power loss would be unacceptable. An alternative method is to add a series connection of an inductor and resistor across the filter inductor.
Figure 1: CD and RD damp the output filter source impedance.
(Click this image to view a larger, more detailed version)
Interesting. I believe there are three basic topologies that dampen the input filter. This extra capacitor has the disadvantage that for instant connection of a high input voltage, the resistor needs to absorb 0.5CU^2. I experienced this as a problem. Another solution, used by computer products is a LC-series combination in parallel with LO. The math behind it is the same. The theme has been discussed since the eighties. I remember three articles. Only one of them uses the calculation of pole location to find an optimum. This should also work for two stage input filters. I could not see in the article presented here wether or not the NEGATIVE input impedance has been used in calculating the frequency spectrum. The second chart I find very interesting, but I wonder what kind of mathematical model has been used to derive it. Is this 50% approach a rule of a thumb thing or does it give the optimum ? Apart from the optimum value of R, there are also a minimum and a maximum value beyond which there are no stable solutions for C.

Social Enterprise: Dilemmas and Practicalities. This presentation identifies the conditions of success of earning income through a social venture in a nonprofit, provides ways of thinking about the decision to embark on such a venture and looks at the critical steps to the nonprofit will take and the mistakes they will make all the way to making a success of earned income.
Both presentations comprise a talk by Brewster for about one hour, and questions and answers and debate. The talk also involves some degree of audience engagement and participation. They are ideal for breakfast, lunch or late afternoon sessions. The NCNE fee is $1250 (except to members of NCNE's Institutional Consortium.) Audiences have ranged from 35 to 150 (at Baruch College in NYC in mid-October.)What people say about the presentations:"I realize that after 40 years very little will be new BUT there is such safety in theoretical presentations. A combination with practical info - it works.""Fantastic, personable, speaker"If you would like to know more about staging an NCNE presentation, please contact Richard Brewster at email@example.com.

Listen to Hunter Hayes on iHeartRadio
Young Hunter Hayes released his "Somebody's Heartbreak" video, which features Hayes ripping it up with guitar on stage, mixing it up with his bandmates backstage, and of course, being fawned over relentlessly by his female fans in the audience.
"Heartbreak" is a good song for the treatment, the kind of almost-power-ballad that sounds great playing under a bunch of montage-type footage and being broadcast as a presumptive stadium anthem.

Today I'll be giving two sessions at DevConnections. The first is on building Rich HTML Client Data Applications with WCF RIA Services and Upshot. The second is on Building Loosely Coupled XAML Client Applications with Prism.
You can grab the slides and demos for these talks below.
Rich HTML Client Data Applications with Upshot: Slides Demos
Building Loosely Coupled XAML Client Applications with Prism: Slides Demos
Part 4 of my article series on Prism 4 is live here. In this article, I cover the navigation features that were added to regions in Prism 4. These features let you use a loosely coupled URI-based navigation scheme for changing out or activating views within a region. The views (or their view models) can participate in the navigation by identifying if they are the target view for a navigation action, can be notified when they are navigated to with URI parameters, navigated away from. Additionally views (or their view models can decide if they should be navigated away from (such as to prompt the user) and when it should happen.
Read all the details here!
DevConnections Spring 2012 show is rapidly approaching, especially for us foolish speakers who submitted a bunch of talks, got a bunch selected, and now have to have put the slides and demos together in time for the show!
This year I'll be giving 5 talks – 3 in the Visual Studio track and 2 in the Silverlight track. Here is a quick rundown of what I'll be talking about.
VLA311 - Building Loosely Coupled XAML Apps with Prism
This will be a soup-to-nuts talk on what Prism has to offer, showing how you can employ parts of Prism with a light touch on your app such as commands and events, or going whole hog with what Prism has to offer by also embracing modularity and regions or dynamically pluggable and extensible client apps.
VLA412 - Embrace Async
In this I'll be covering the new Task-based Async Pattern (async keywords) coming in .NET 4.5, Task Parallel Library, and a quick look at the Parallel class and PLINQ for dealing with collections in an async way.
VLA310 - Leveraging Web API to Reach Many Client Platforms
This one will cover the basics of the new Web API stack that allows you to easily expose HTTP services without needing to tackle the complexity of WCF, and also embrace the full REST architectural style if you want. The session will show the basics of exposing services with Web API on the service side, as well as how to consume them from multiple client platforms including .NET, Silverlight, Metro, and iOS.
CXA401 - Building Extensible XAML Client Apps
This session covers a rich combination of using MEF, MVVM, and Prism to build highly flexible and extensible XAML client applications. This one is an advanced session that really requires a trace of exposure to at least of couple of those technologies to really follow everything I'll be packing into a 75 minute session. You'll see how the right structure in a core application can gain you a huge advantage in being able to plug in new functionality without having to touch the core application code as you add incremental new capabilities to the application.
CHT303 - Rich HTML5 Client Data Applications with WCF RIA Services
This session explores another great new capability coming in the next release of web technologies. It covers a new set of JavaScript libraries being developed by Microsoft to both extend the reach of WCF RIA Services to HTML client applications, and also to allow rich stateful interactions with data on the client side of an HTML application in JavaScript, following similar patterns as are used in Silverlight clients with WCF RIA Services.
I'm very excited about talking about all this cool new capability headed our way, and hope to see you there!
PArt 3 of my series on Prism 4 is now live on the Silverlight Show here. This one drills down into CompositeCommands and Prism pub/sub events with the EventAggregator. I show how to use CompositeCommands to hook up loosely coupled parts of the app but still have the enable/disable functionality that commands off that events do not. Then I show using Prism events to keep two loosely coupled parts of the user interface synchronized without them needing to know about each other.
Check it out!
I've started a new article series on The Silverlight Show site that will be covering Prism 4 end to end over about 5-6 articles. The first installment is up: Working with Prism 4 Series Part 1 – Getting Started. This one covers the broad concepts of what Prism is for, what features it offers, and walks you through putting together a basic Prism app with one module and plugging a view into a region.
I should be putting a new installment up every two weeks. In the next article, I'll be putting a little more functionality into a couple of views, including using commands and the MVVM pattern, and communicating between the view with Prism loosely coupled events. After that I will expand on using region navigation, implementing custom module loaders, and other aspects.
Hope you check it out!
My class is now confirmed for 28 Nov – 2 Dec with our training partner Benchmark Learning, but there are still seats available. You can find the full syllabus and registration information here:

Two more talks today at DevConnections. One showing an approach to combining MEF, MVVM, and Prism for maximum desktop client extensibility and one showing how to get the most out of Silverlight validation for data entry.
You can grab the slides and demos here:
Desktop Client Extensibility Slides Demos
Silverlight Validation Slides Demos
Today I am giving two talks at DevConnections. One that compares and contrasts WCF, WCF Data Services, WCF RIA Services, and WCF Web API. The other focuses on Async – the Parallel frameworks, Task Parallel Library, and the Async CTP.
Here are the slides and demos for those who want them:
WCF Flavors – Slides Demos
Async – Slides Demos
Today I gave the keynote for the NOVA CodeCamp, in which I focused on the new features of Silverlight 5 and what's coming with Win 8 and WinRT / Metro development. I covered XAML enhancements, security, text improvements, graphics, 3D, and other features of Silverlight 5. Then I summarized what Windows 8 is all about and what WinRT and Metro are and how they relate to Silverlight and other development technologies for the Microsoft platform in use today.
You can grab the slides and demos here: Slides Demos
Last night I gave a talk at the Capital Area .NET Users Group (http://caparea.net) summarizing the announcements and new technologies coming out from the BUILD conference. We had a good crowd and great interaction with lots of questions as people tried to grok Windows 8, WinRT, and Metro and what it really meant to the kinds of apps they are building today. About half the crowd had not watched any of the videos from the conference, so they were starting with a clean slate in terms of understanding the new stuff, which made it interesting to see the kinds of questions I got.
I had a pretty simple slide deck and spent most of the time demoing things and discussing the concepts and implications, but here are the slides for anyone who is interested.

3. | Sinker | ||
A non-swimmer. Usually a negro that did not grow up in a neighborhood with three car garages or was in the military and forced to learn how to swim. Damn Bubba them sinkers sure are brave going into the water knee deep without any lifeguards around.
1. | sinker | ||
When one testicle hangs lower than the other. It is most easily seen when coming out of the shower. Usually accompanied by a bush. Person 1: Look at that dudes fucked up ballsack
Person 2: No dude, it's just his sinker, it's hard to see because of the bush |
2. | sinker | ||
A piece of fecal matter that is more dense than water, and thereby sinks to the bottom of the toilet. The opposite of floater.
Last time I took a crap, they were all sinkers.
4. | Sinker | ||
Someone who plays in an online poker tournament and repeatedly folds untill he/she is in the top two. Dude a Sinker was in this online poker tournament I was in, bummer he had only 100 chips aganist my 12,000.
5. | Sinker | ||
The hangover that occurs later the next day. Usually, the effects of the alcohol don't leave until late morning, leaving the afternoon to feel sick. I went out last night and drank so much that I woke up still a little drunk but I'll be experiencing a sinker later today.
6. | sinker | ||
A piece of lead tied to a fishing line to cast futher/ makes the bait go down below those fucked surface dwellers, toads, sweep. Little bait robbin mother fuckers. fucking toads, they take your bait and puff up like a marshmallow
7. | Sinker | ||
When you need to need to use the washroom and fear that the necessary buffer-zone may not be sufficient for the damage you are about to inflict on the toilet, requiring you turn on the sink full blast in order to dampen the sound. Employee 1: "Dude, just rocked a monstrous sinker!"
Employee 2: "Oh snap, that poor lady with the weird eye and her office right next to the toilet! At least you have to courtesy to sinker it..." |

Topic: Teague and I recorded a circuitous movie conversation
We had an idea recently for a discussion that's a little more elliptical than traditional critique and analysis of film. Feelings, emotional resonance, mushy stuff. What a movie leaves you with. So we made one and it's weird. But you get to hear it anyway. Might come across as masturbatory and self serving, but there could be something of interest in there to someone.
The topic is ambitious, the final product a little rough, the guy has hundreds of hours of mic time beyond me, but fuck it, I'm tired of qualifiers. Was fun to do and there are good parts. Here's the link:

Today I'd like to introduce you guys Heroes! Season Two. Those are the comic strips I've been doing this past year or so. (finally catched up with my current comics, yay!)
What are the changes you can expect?
Well, I changed a tiny bit my art style (not much, mind you, it's just that people didn't like much how I used to draw the girls for example).
I added two new sub-series as requested on deviantArt (where I used to post these originally). One more Marvel and another DC one.
Oh, and also... (following text from my blog originally, 'cause I'm just that lazy to rewrite it)
A Bunch Of Years Later
Which, if you've only be following them since I created this blog should surprise you. But up to now, all the comics I've posted here were edited/remade versions of the same comics I posted on my regular blog or my deviantArt in the past.
(I took this occasion to make them vertically rather than horizontally, change some sentences, update the fonts, fix little errors, etc..)
For this occasion and shake things up a bit I will "skip some time" in-story. Which doesn't mean much for parodies, but will serve as excuse to have little changes here and there. They will be mostly visible in Archers!
This change of status quo isn't maybe much as far as parodies go. But it gives me an excuse to update costumes and whatnots!
Alright, that is all I had to say, here's the new mock-up cover done for the occasion...
Introducing a new series: MERCS!
You can guess what's it gonna be about from the cover :'3
And on to the comics now:
New codenames, new characters and new costumes are what we might come across, for this takes place "A Bunch Of Years Later"!!
The Heroes are back in all new adventures!
And this week we start with Archers! and Roy Harper - ex-Speedy.
What will our Heroes! face in the coming weeks?!
Introducing the all-new Arsenal!
This time around, like I tend to do, it's more of an introduction than an actual joke.
And I'll try using most of Deadpool's cast of character, past and present.
(remember when he had an on-going cast, before Daniel Way? :P)
Introducing Deadpool - the Merc With A Mouth!
This is the obligatory "I wanted to draw Booster & Ted but didn't thought it through much" comic strip.
Yep... that's me.. Making comics with no idea where I'm going to...
And that is all for this time!
Remember kids, drink BOOSTER COLA~
Don't hesitate to comment on those either here on my blog, leave feedback and whatnot!
I do take input from you guys for future ideas!
For the previous post follow my Heroes! tag scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/tag/title:+he roes!

MetaPath is a tool for the analysis of metabolic pathways and associated visualization of experimental data. Built on the MetaCyc database, it provides an interactive map in which multiple pathways can be simultaneously visualized. Multiple annotations from the MetaCyc database are available, including synonyms, associated reactions and pathways, and database unification links. Metabolomics change data can be imported via simple CSV formats for visualization on targeted pathways. Pathways can be mined and removed algorithmically to identify key regulated pathways within a given dataset, providing a simper route to metabolic functions.
QMentat helps you practice mental arithmetic. It uses arbitrary-length fixed point arithmetic, and can handle any size numbers, only limited by the size of your screen (and in the case of division with an integer result, the speed at which the number can be factored). It is also quite configurable, allowing you to tailor the questions to your needs.
omnisode generates a Ruby program to use long Taylor series to solve systems of ordinary differential equations. It generates code to solve the equations in either Maple or Maxima. Using the Taylor series, estimates are made of the location and order of poles. It has been greatly re-worked the last few years, and tested quite a bit recently. Support may be extended to other languages in the future.
Dr. Geo is an interactive geometry program that is distributed as a universal portable application. It allows one to create a geometric sketch and manipulate it according to its constraints. It is usable at home or at school, in primary or secondary education. It is simple and effective with extended features including scripting and programming.
Xtreme Download Manager is a advanced and powerful tool to increase download speed up to 500%, resume broken/dead downloads, capture FLV videos from any site, and schedule downloads. It uses a sophisticated dynamic segmentation algorithm, data compression, and connection reuse to speed up the download process. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, firewalls, proxy servers, file redirects, cookies, authorization, etc. It seamlessly integrates with Firefox on any operating system. It also integrates with any other browser to handle downloads automatically using advanced browser integration. It is entirely written in Java, so it runs on any operating system without even being installed.
check_nwc_health is a plugin for the Shinken (or Nagios/Icinga) monitoring system. It is used to check hardware health, environment, interfaces, pools, uptime, etc. of a great range of the most popular network components like switches, routers, firewalls, proxies, load balancers, etc. Currently it can monitor: Cisco IOS, Cisco Nexus, F5 BIG-IP, CheckPoint Firewall1, Juniper NetScreen, HP Procurve, Nortel, Brocade 4100/4900, EMC DS 4700, EMC DS 24, Allied Telesyn, and Blue Coat SG600.
Netzob supports the expert in reverse engineering, evaluation, and simulation of communication protocols. Its main goals are to help security evaluators to assess the robustness of proprietary or unknown protocol implementations, simulate realistic communications to test third-party products (IDS, firewalls, etc.), and create an Open Source implementation of a proprietary or unknown protocol. Netzob provides a semi-automatic inferring process, and includes everything necessary to passively learn the vocabulary of a protocol and actively infer its grammar. The learnt protocol can afterward be simulated. Netzob handles text protocols (like HTTP and IRC), fixed field protocols (like IP and TCP), and variable field protocols (like ASN.1-based formats).

You want to retrofit analogue accessories, but your vehicle has a digital CAN bus system? Go ahead, it's no problem at all with the CAN bus interface from WAECO! The module ensures a smooth data flow between the analogue and digital technologies.More and more vehicles are equipped with the CAN bus technology. This also means that all of their comfort functions are controlled by digital signals from the CAN bus system. The problem is many retrofit products require analogue signals. This is easily solved by fitting the WAECO CAN bus interface. The module "translates" the digital CAN bus signals into analogue impulses and transmits them to the retrofitted accessory.The WAECO CAN bus interface is suitable for use with many WAECO comfort and safety accessories (see the picture series on the top right-hand page). It can also be used for similar products of other makes, because most of them will require an analogue speed or rev signal.The WAECO interface also paves the way for built-in navigations systems. Many of these systems require the handbrake signal because they must not be operated while driving.
The WAECO CAN bus interface makes vehicles fit for analogue retrofit products. It is compatible with most commonly used models built by Citroën, Fiat, Ford, Iveco, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault and Volkswagen.See the complete list of vehicle models here.

It didn't take the Aristocracy long in the 19th century to note that these caps looked good on working class men throughout Britain and Ireland. So it began popping up on their well-coiffed heads on their estates and on golfers teeing off at St. Andrews.
The Italians said you haven't seen anything yet. Or words to that effect.
Italian Wool Ivy Cap (No. 2566). Same luxuriously soft 100% pure Italian wool as the baseball cap, with same waterproofing and windproofing process. Fold up quilted earflaps.
You won't find this one on everyone's head.
Men's sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL. Imported.
Color: Black
I remember sitting outside a café in Turin when Gianni Agnelli pulled up in a marvelous 124 coupe.
He tried to hide behind a pair of dark sunglasses and the brim of this cap, but that's hard to do when Esquire has just named you one of the five best-dressed men in the history of the world.
Saw him for just a few seconds, but the impression he left lasted much longer.
Italian Wool Baseball Cap (No. 2574). The Italian wool is woven in Italy by the renowned Loro Piana mill. The result is a material that feels as rich and soft as cashmere.
Which is also given a special treatment that provides resistance to rain, wind, and baseball purists, who'll want to know where you got it. Other feature is a quilted insulated lining for added warmth.
Apt to become a fixture. I haven't taken mine off in a week.
Men's sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL. Imported.
