Things I've Learnt About InfoPath and Forms Services
Posted by workerthread on October 30, 2009
Recently I've been involved in the development of a SharePoint 2007 solution using InfoPath and Forms Services. The purpose of the solution was collection of employee questionnaire data using one of several forms designed as a multi-page survey. InfoPath was chosen because the process needed to make use of SharePoint workflows, which are not supported with survey responses. Also, the survey form needed to behave differently depending upon whether an employee or their manager was completing it.
I wanted to use this post to document some of the things I learnt during the development process.
Only Use Custom Code if Rules and Views Can't Do the Job: You can do an awful lot with InfoPath Rules and Views to give the user a good experience when completing a form. You also have the added advantage that when publishing your browser-compatible form to SharePoint Forms Services, you don't have to deploy it as an Administrator-approved form. Over at EnduserSharePoint, Paul Galvin has posted a useful starter template for InfoPath which includes views for handling successful submission and discarding the form. And there are other useful InfoPath tips on Paul's blog.
"Wizard" Style Forms Work Well Using Views: Using [Next>] and [<Back] buttons combined with views, you can create a nice "wizard" style user interface for your form. Here's a nice post from the MS InfoPath team on this topic.
But You can Only Validate a Maximum of 5 Fields Using a Rule: This is one of the issues which required use of custom code. On our "wizard" style form, there are 7 questions per page, and the user should not be able to move to the next page until all 7 have been answered. So we ended up putting validation code on the "click" event of each "[Next>]" button. This tutorial from DevExpertise explains how it's done. It ended up as one of the reasons for a custom code requirement – I guess it might also be possible to to this using XPath, but as we also ended up needing code for another feature (see below), we used custom code here.
If You Want to Pass URL Parameters to your Browser Based Form, You Need to Write Some Code: For this solution, a manager could be assigned multiple questionnaires to complete (one for each person they are managing). So we wanted to pass the ID of the employee into the new form, then this would be used to look up employee details on a secondary data connection. Turns out that you can only read URL (querystring) parameters using code. Here's a post from the InfoPath Team showing how to pass/retrieve these parameters.
Use Site Columns for Promoted InfoPath Fields: Our solution required two different forms to be available as content types in the same forms library. If both of these forms use the same set of promoted columns, your life will be a lot simpler if you first create the columns you want to promote as a set of site columns specific to the solution. If you don't, and you deploy the forms to different servers, you can end up with multiple "Microsoft InfoPath" site columns with same name but different IDs. Also, we wanted to promote some InfoPath text to SharePoint multiline text columns. This doesn't seem to be possible using the default "Create New Column in this library" option but can be done using site columns.
Ensuring your Submitted Forms Have Unique Names: You need to ensure that the submitted form has a unique name. Here are couple of items you might find useful – Hannah Scott: Submit InfoPath forms to SharePoint with Unique File Name and SharePoint User Group UK Submit InfoPath with unique filename using SharePoint Library ID.
Centrally Managed Data Connections Make it Easy to Switch from Dev to Test to Production: Converting your SharePoint data connections to centrally managed ones makes it much simpler to move your solution between servers or web applications. To make this work you will either first need to use a data connection library for data connections, then upload these using Central Admin, or use this UDC File Authoring Tool (which is also an InfoPath template). More information here and here.
If You Are New to InfoPath, Read Paul Culmsee's "Humble Leave Form" Series": Paul Culmsee of CleverWorkarounds fame has written an amusing and useful series on InfoPath called A Tribute To The Humble Leave Form. There are 7 parts to the series so far, all based around a leave form for the Springfield Nuclear Plant. In part 5 Paul discusses using the UserProfile web service to get more useful info about the user completing the form.
And More Information on Getting User Information Without Code: Here are a couple more posts on getting user information from Itay Shakury and Clayton Cobb.
I hope others embarking on InfoPath/Forms Services projects find some of this useful!

Please go to info-wars.com without the hyphen (had to put it there to get past the Hook's auto-block of the mere mention of this extremely dangerous-to-the-New-World-Order website)and listen to the Alex Jones Show, anytime of day. Wake up and wake others up to the NWO and help stop it in it's tracks!

Spots of machine oil got on a baby quilt I was working on. I tried Grandma's Secret Spot Remover and it worked like a charm. I put just a dot on the stain, waited a few minutes and wiped it away with a very damp, clean cloth. Voila! No oil stains and no harm to the fabric. I couldn't be happier.
November 21, 2016
I dabbled on a white blouse with a stain that has lasted on for a long time, threw it the laundry an my blouse was new again, I recomend this product, Thanks
July 11, 2016
Excellent took out spots that other spot remover would not remove.
February 22, 2016
This stuff is truly amazing, I keep it with all of my laundry supplies. I spot check everything before washing, and where ever there is a stain, I put a few drops on, let it sit until the washer fills and toss it in. Works every time. Haven't been disappointed yet!!
August 9, 2015
I use this spot remover all the time just love how well it works on everything. I buy it a quilt store in my home town. Always have a extra one on hand.

The NEA Higher Education Advocate June 2009
Do-It-Yourself Rubrics
Most of us are conscientious about our grading and responses to student work. But too often we wonder if the responses we've labored over actually mean anything to our students. This issue's Thriving in Academe offers a solution that saves teachers time and that students say helps them better understand their assignments and what instructors expect of them.
Inside this Issue:
...About two reports from the Center for American Progress that suggest the Millennial generation—those 18-to-29 years old—will usher in a new progressive era and end the culture wars.
In mid-May, I attended the second annual Higher Education Academy of the Nebraska State Education Association Conference in Lincoln.
Student mental health issues play a significant role on college campuses, affecting students' academic, emotional, and physical well-being, as well as their long-term development.
In May, NEA President Dennis van Roekel helped lead a discussion with key U.S. Senators and other education and workforce experts on how best to ensure that our nation is successfully preparing the workforce of the 21st century.
Faculty members at Montana State University-Bozeman, both full-time and adjunct professors, have voted to join the 17,500-member MEA-MFT (now the MFPE, Montana Federation of Public Employees), an affiliate of NEA and the American Federation of Teachers.
This section is intended to promote ever more effective teaching and learning in higher education through dialogue among colleagues.
A coalition of unions and professional associations has come together to form Professionals for the Public Interest (PftPI).
Is requiring student's participation in social networking an invasion of privacy?
In an address to Congress earlier this year, President Obama offered this challenge: "I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training…"

What out of town writers need to know about SF
If you've flown in to write about our trends, we've done most of your work for you
"Dateline San Francisco" --
It is a tale of two cities. It's a city of very rich people and very poor people. A Dungeness crab of a city. A city losing its soul. Sleek, black Uber cars that whisk hipsters from bar to bar. Danielle Steel's hedge. Thirteen-dollar sandwiches. Google Glass.
That's your opening paragraph, visiting journalists. You're welcome.
It's our effort to help our brethren who have flocked here to write the latest "How the tech boom is changing San Francisco" opus. (All of the lines in that opening paragraph have actually been published in previous San Francisco/tech boom opuses. Special thanks to you, Guardian U.K.)
In Twitterspeak, #SanFranciscoThinkPiece would be trending. Go ahead, you can use that line.
We know why you're here. Your editors want the story, it's freezing where you're from and you want that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expense a night at Mission Control, the sex club for techies.
So we've assembled a Cut-and-Paste San Francisco Trend Story. Complete with actual sources. The next time New York, London or Washington, D.C., appears to be losing its soul to a gaggle of hoodied dorks with no social skills, we expect the same courtesy.
Step 1: Fly into Oakland International Airport, call Uber. If your driver doesn't have a Ph.D. in English literature and at least three ideas for a startup, exit the car and dial Lyft. As you drive to San Francisco, glance to your right so you can make an obligatory Oakland-is-the-new-Brooklyn observation.
-- Premium content points: Reference the way the Port of Oakland cranes resemble the AT-ATs from "The Empire Strikes Back," a film by early technologist and guy-who-will-never-return-your-calls George Lucas.
Step 2: Get the lay of the land. And by "get the lay of the land," we mean go straight to the Mission District. The bad news: The $4 toast you've heard about is more than a mile away in Alamo Square, which was actually gentrified back in 1967. Instead, tip back a glass of $10 cold-pressed kale/celery/cucumber/parsley juice at a pop-up store on Valencia while you skim Wikipedia on the history of the Ellis Act.
-- Time-saving reporting tip: Ask the person pouring your kale juice which uncool East Bay city they BARTed in from. If they live in Concord, put them in your lead paragraph as someone "searching for their dreams" in the new economy.
Step 3: Find the outrage. Now that you're sufficiently fired up about evictions, it's time to write about the tenant-landlord rift without actually speaking to a greedy landlord or aggrieved tenant. The San Francisco Tenants Union, Tenderloin Housing Clinic or any past/present editor of the San Francisco Bay Guardian will gladly confirm that San Francisco is on the verge of doom (just as the naysayers said in 1998 during the first dot-com boom).
-- Premium content points: Mention that the average rent price in the Mission District (as of Jan. 30) is $2,125 per bedroom, three times the national average.
Step 4: Line up your political/tech/celebrity sources. No #SanFranciscoThinkPiece is complete without some hackneyed grandstanding, and boy have you come to the right town. There is no shortage of people who in any other town would be considered Trotskyites, but here we call them "political moderates."
-- For best results on politicians/celebs/techies to call, follow this guide:
-- Famous San Franciscans who will pick up the phone: Willie Brown, Ron Conway, Tyler Florence, Art Agnos, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, John Avalos, Chicken John, David Campos, Gavin Newsom (for publications with a circulation of 250,000 or more), Third Eye Blind singer Stephan Jenkins.
-- Famous San Franciscans who won't pick up the phone: Robin Williams, Charles R. Schwab, any member of Metallica, Danielle Steel, Gavin Newsom (for publications with a circulation of 250,000 or less), Willie Mays, Jim Harbaugh, Frank Chu.
Step 5: It's Google's fault. The search engine you just used to understand what the hell an Ellis Act eviction means is public enemy No. 1 in some quarters. This makes no sense, but just go with it. Until you leave town, only use Bing when other people can see your laptop. (We don't know its Web address. Just Google "Bing.") Then make sure to name-check the Google Bus, Google Barge and Google Catamaran in your story.
-- Premium content points: Pay a recently evicted Mission District visual artist to record the maiden voyage of the Google Zeppelin. There's no Google Zeppelin, you say? Doesn't matter. Report it anyway. It's not like Google is going to respond on the record.
-- Time-saving reporting tip: Don't bother to call that annoying Google Glass lady who filmed people flipping her off in a Lower Haight bar. Her 15 minutes of fame are up, and she's probably going to comment underneath the online version of your story anyway.
Step 6: Get your adjectives straight. There are decisions to be made. What double-barreled description will you give the Mission? "Gritty and trendy"? "Seedy and hip"? "Vibrant and overpriced"? Is it populated by "Latinos and the technorati"?
-- Premium content bonus points: Make sure your descriptors aren't influenced by any movies and TV shows you've seen that are based in San Francisco. Most were filmed in Vancouver and Los Angeles. (Sad truth: The "Full House" crew could never afford one of the Seven Sisters Victorian mansions. They would be crammed in an in-law unit behind Candlestick.)
Step 7: Know your neighborhood stereotypes. No #SanFranciscoThinkPiece is complete without a reference to the city's famed "diversity," most of it based on 1978 demographics and episodes of "Nash Bridges." Haight = hippies. Tenderloin = junkies. Polk Street = gay. Castro = not as gay as it used to be. Pacific Heights = rich white people. (That one's true.) North Beach = strip clubs/Italians. Cow Palace = new Uber driver made wrong turn. Sunset = no story there.
-- Premium content bonus points: State with authority that Dogpatch is the new Potrero Hill. Bayview is the new Dogpatch. The Excelsior is ... still the Excelsior.
Step 8: Find a villain. Bad guys in San Francisco don't look like Mr. Burns from "The Simpsons." You want someone who looks dorky yet cosmopolitan: a Euronerd. (Go ahead, you can steal that. You know you want to.) He - and it's always a he in the bro culture - is a combination of someone who is (1) rich, (2) smug, (3) has perfect hair and is yet (4) sexually frustrated.
-- Time-saving reporting tip: If a founding member of the Kleiner Perkins venture capital firm doesn't fall into your lap, look on Medium for the latest startup bro who drunk-tweeted after seeing three homeless people out the window on his (lonely) Uber ride home.
Step 9: Overwrought historical references. The story isn't finished without a ham-handed reference to the city's history of cultural reinventions. Barbary Coast. Gold Rush. Summer of Love. Ginsberg and the Beats. The first time the city was doomed by the tech bubble. (RIP Pets.com.)
-- Time-saving reporting tip: State historian and native San Franciscan Kevin Starr has written 7,146 volumes of California history ... and he's waiting by the phone.
-- Premium content bonus points: If you drop a Webvan reference, mention that the company paid for its logo to be on every seat cup holder in the Giants ballpark when it opened in 2000. A year later Webvan declared bankruptcy.
Step 10: Return to Oakland and realize the story is actually here - in the new Brooklyn.
Clarification: A previous online version of this story suggested that the writer of a recent New York Magazine article was from New York. The author lives in Berkeley.
Peter Hartlaub is The San Francisco Chronicle's pop culture critic. Joe Garofoli is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer. Both live in Oakland, like much of the rest of The Chronicle staff, and commute into the city. They insist Oakland is nothing like Brooklyn.

To kick off a special week of content from the skittering electronic Icelandic folks Múm, Örvar Þóreyjarson Smárason suggests three new acts from their home town that you should check out.
It's all about the kids, right? So, this is an accumulation of the very young Reykjavík musicians I find interesting at the moment.
Retro Stefson
The band of today. Unclassifiable and always a joy to watch live and a joy to be around. I have known some of them since they were 8 years old and I was working in their children school. myspace.com/retrostefson
Sudden Weather Change
This band is the Best on ball 2009 (Bestir á balli) and their shows are always charged and energetic. I saw them first about 2 years ago when by chance I walked passed a gig in a small café and they were screaming without microphones because they were broken or something like that (DiS did the same thing at Iceland Airwaves last year). myspace.com/suddenweatherchange
DJ Flugvél og Geimskip
DJ Airplane and Spaceship is what this girls band name translates to. The album Rokk og Róleg lög (Rock and Easy Tunes) was released on Brak records. myspace.com/djflugveloggeimskip. Closely related is the band Skelkur í Bringu
Mum release their new album Sing Along to Songs You Don't Know on August 24th and headline the DiS stage at Summer Sundae on August 14th. Örvar also plays in one of the best new bands we've seen for a long while FM Belfast, who sound like a toxic waste drinking Hot Chip.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – After three weeks of online voting for the new Florida license plate, the design with the solid green bars and the artistic orange forming the 'O' in the word Florida is the most popular.
A total of 50,124 votes were cast in the online contest.
The online poll represents one part of the process to select the new plate design. Before the design is manufactured, the public's vote will be factored in with input from the governor, cabinet and policy makers.
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles said it needs to upgrade the basic Florida plate to a design that increases readability and features a seven-character configuration.
A committee of more than 20 stakeholders, including state agency personnel, law enforcement, tax collectors and affiliated associations participated in the development of the final license plate designs.

Apex Book Company is one of the small publishing houses that are on the front line of quality speculative fiction. Their Apex Magazine is always a source of very good short fiction and for finding new and talented writers, while Maurice Broaddus and Jerry Gordon's anthology "Dark Faith", Mari Adkins' anthology "Harlan County Horrors", Lavie Tidhar's collection of world SF "The Apex Book of World SF", Nate Kenyon's "Prime" and Gary A. Braunbeck's "To Each Their Darkness" are the main reasons for me to consider Apex Publications among my favorites. These days Apex Book Company came with a new, very pleasant, surprise for its readers, the birth of a new Apex imprint, Black Room Books. And by the presentation of Black Room Books I do hope that the new born will have a very long and successful life in the publishing world, because it certainly holds plenty of promise:
Black Room is an imprint of parent company Apex Publications. A spin-off, if you will, created to cater to the types of awesome books that don't fit the mold of "commercial", but that still deserve proper attention and publication. Our titles will be the type that leave a mark in your mind long after the last page is finished. We want these books to step up to the boundaries of genre fiction, evoke the names of the great ones, and jump as far as they can.
Already Black Room Books has a few titles prepared for future release, Tim Waggoner's "Like Death", Jennifer Pelland's "Machine", J.M. McDermott's "Disintegrations Visions" and the new volume in Lavie Tidhar's collection of world SF, "The Apex Book of World SF 2". However, the honor for opening the ceremony goes to Tim Waggoner's "Like Death", novel scheduled for release on 25th October and which already has an excellent cover, although it is a very chilling one. Tim Waggoner's "Like Death" is at its second publication with Black Room Books, after the initial release in 2005 from Leisure Books, but since it was under my radar then and the cover creeps me out I am happy that it sees the light of publishing again.
For more information about all that is prepared on the table of Black Room Books we can visit their website, blackroompub.com. And let's wish Black Room Books a warm welcome and a long stay in the world of publishing.

If you were to ask me, "What is the quintessential California car?" I would say the Toyota Prius. They are popular among among the environmentally conscious Hollywood set, in addition to your average buyer. However, yesterday the LA Times reported that the Prius's two year sales dominance has now been overtaken by the Honda Accord. Not only did the Prius take a hit, but Tesla sales are down 36%. Does that mean California car-buyers not as environmentally conscious as they used to be? Why are these green cars losing market share? Here are a few theories-
"Cheap gas," better motors, more space-
The average cost for a gallon of regular in the Golden State is about $4. This isn't cheap, but it also isn't so expensive that it is severely impacting purchasing decisions. More importantly, gas motors have gotten really efficient. When the Prius first came out, its ability to get 50mpg was vastly superior to most of the gas motors in similarly sized vehicles. Now compacts like the Mazda3 SkyActiv and Toyota Corolla are capable of 40mpg or more on the highway. The Honda Accord can manage 38 mpg, and seat 5 comfortably. Despite the introduction of the more practical Prius V, the hybrid still isn't as spacious as many of the mid-size sedans.
Other choices-
Maybe green cars are still popular, but sales are spread out. There was a time when if you wanted a hybrid the default choice was the Prius. Honda did strike first with the Insight but few noticed, and that model is now discontinued. Now if buyers want a gas-electric combo vehicle, there is a huge variety to choose from. Practically everything from BMW luxury sedans, to Nissan mid-size crossovers offer some type of hybrid variant. Ford has even fielded a legit Prius figther with the C-max. Also a factor is the increase in popularity of diesel vehicles from VW and Audi.
Not cool anymore-
The Prius used to be a car that made a statement. Now I don't mean to paint with broad strokes, but in certain areas California people seem to be very conscious about the image they are projecting. Now that Toyota's hybrid is ubiquitous among the many cars on California roads, they are no longer noticed. Hence they no longer project the image they once did. Also, if you look at "hipster logic," what is popular is not cool, the Prius is popular, therefore not cool. Tesla is still cool, but too expensive for hipsters.
Turnover (in regards to Tesla)-
The lease market is huge in California, wealthy car-owners want to use the tax loophole to write-off their lease payments. While Tesla has started a Model S lease program for small business owners, they are still missing out on the millions of luxury lessees who are flipping S-classes every 3 years. The situation with Tesla is that the California buyers who wanted them, already bought them. They are still finding buyers, but not to the same extent as before. Perhaps some folks are holding out for the Model X, West Coasters love crossovers.
Not as "green" as many thought-
This last one is a stretch, but when the Prius first hit the marketplace many car-buyers saw it as "the car that will save the world." O.k. not quite, but Toyota's marketing was very good and millions of people purchased the hybrid thinking that they were "doing something" for the environment. Now more folks are aware that the manufacturing of hybrid vehicles is not that much better for the environment than their gas powered counterparts. With some folks looking into alternatives to car-ownership, I suspect that a very small percentage no longer see the Prius (and Telsa) as a solution, but rather part of the problem.
What do you think? Could it be that people don't want a soulless appliance anymore?

The Sag Harbor Historical Society is kicking off every other summer weekend with "Fridays on the Porch," an informal gathering with wine and cheese refreshments at their historic Annie Cooper Boyd House headquarters at 174 Main Street. Stop by from 5:30–6 p.m. this Friday, July 12 and take advantage of this free open house event (though donations are always appreciated).
The Annie Cooper Boyd House dates back to the 18th century and it has several works of art on display by its namesake, who moved there in the 1870s. This week, Rebecca Radin, a docent at the Parrish Art Museum, will lead an informal program on William Merritt Chase's Shinnecock art school, which Annie Cooper Boyd (1864-1941) attended in the 1890s.
Included below, and in the featured image above, are pictures of, and facts about, Cooper Boyd's paintings at the house, graciously supplied by the Sag Harbor Historical Society. Along with each being a fascinating window into East End history, the pieces are beautiful art objects and examples of landscape painting from the day.
Read about Boyd's painting of the 1900 Collapse of the North Haven Bridge (pictured above), then scroll down to learn about her other works.
"North Haven Bridge Collapse"
Annie documented the 1900 collapse of the North Haven Bridge, which was financed and built by watch case and silverware tycoon Joseph Fahys just nine years earlier in 1881. After the collapse, a ferry service captained by George Page was put into operation. Sag Harbor, The Story of an American Beauty. chronicles the event, noting, "The resounding crash of this bridge was heard throughout the village in 1900."
"Sandpiper Hill"
Sandpiper Hill house was built in 1928 by architect Richard Webb for Walter McCaffray and his wife when McCaffray was riding high, holding 12 seats on the New York Stock Exchange. While attractive to behold, the windmill was far from a functional. Inside, eight walls of hand-blown pink-glass mirrors covered the powder room on the ground floor, while the top floor was filled with books reflecting the McCaffrays' deep interest in Montauk history. It was Sandpiper Hill where Teddy Roosevelt and regiments camped after returning from Cuba at the end Spanish American War in 1898.
Outside, at McCaffray's eastern and western lot lines stood a wooden Indian and a wooden statue of Captain Kidd gazing in the direction of his buried treasure on Gardiners Island. Rumor has it that kids burned down the three statues, and following the stock market crash of 1929, Walter McCaffray committed suicide. Another rumor suggests he jumped to his death.
The McCaffrays were founders of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Montauk's Catholic church, where Edgar Grimes was employed. During the 1930s Edgar and Cecilia Grimes moved in and became caretakers for Sandpiper Hill. Cecilia was there when the windows blew out in the hurricane of 1938—she and the children took refuge in the garage as storm waters isolated them from Edgar and other children caught in town. Next, the Sandpiper Hill estate was donated to the Jesuits. They, in turn, sold it to another stockbroker, Sidney Rheinstein, who leased it to summer vacationers.
"Frank C. Havens' Summer Cottage" (Now Cormaria)
Cormaria, built by Frank C. Havens in 1905, is Sag Harbor's grandest building to survive the village's fiery history. In 1864, it was actually the burning down of the village's finest center of learning, the Sag Harbor Academy and Institute—along with its valuable library of 1,000 books—that sparked Havens' illustrious career. He was descended from a respected line of local Havens, beginning with one of the earliest settlers of Shelter Island in 1700, but it was Havens who set the fire. Shamed by his actions, he was sent off to California by his father, Captain Wickham Havens.
Over the next 35 years in California, Havens shrewdly invested in real estate, becoming a wealthy financier while also gathering around himself leaders in all the arts, including another Sag Harbor boy, his nephew George Sterling, who was informally dubbed the poet laureate of San Francisco. Havens returned to Sag Harbor for the summer of 1899, not to resurrect the Academy, but to add to his real estate empire and plan a grand "summer cottage" for himself and family. That year he purchased large pieces of waterfront property on the East Hampton side of the village including land at Conkling's Point, where he would build his summer estate. He even found time to host a burlesque dance and cake walk at the Hannibal French house.
Havens, his wife Lila and four children enjoyed summers in his elegant summer estate fitted with hot and cold water, gas and electric, and his private fire hydrant all set on beautifully landscaped bay front acres. He is best remembered for showing off the most beautiful "painting" in the world as he drew the drapes from the 14-foot-wide dining room window to reveal his view of Shelter Island Bay.
Havens' recklessness finally led to failure of his investments, so he protected the remainder of his real estate by putting it in Lila's name. He died several years later in 1918, the year after Cooper Boyd painted this picture.
"Napeague Dune"
Annie Cooper Boyd painted this Napeague dune in 1933. It is one of two paintings of the same scene, which are exhibited side by side at the Sag Harbor Historical Society for the viewer to note note the subtle differences. A trip to Napeague today will show that little has changed in this pristine location over the past eighty years.
The Sag Harbor Historical Society welcomes the public to drop by for Fridays on the Porch at 5:30 p.m. on July 12, July 26, August 9 and August 23.

And the Godzilla news keeps on coming. Earlier this week we had a couple of major developments regarding Warner Bros.' upcoming Godzilla reboot, including the news that Frank Darabont has been brought on to perform a final rewrite of the script and a shortlist of actors in the running for the lead role reportedly include Henry Cavill, Scoot McNairy, and Caleb Landry Jones. Well so much for that shortlist story, as word now comes that Warner Bros. has its eye on a different actor to lead the project: Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson. Hit the jump for more.
Per Deadline, Johnson is now the frontrunner to lead the Gareth Edwards-directed project as he has an offer for the role. Being the smart guy that he is, Johnson won't make a final decision on whether or not to take the job until Darabont turns in his polish of the script. Though most know Johnson as the charming guy from Kick-Ass (and the upcoming sequel Kick-Ass 2), he's done some fantastic work in other films as well, including playing John Lennon in Nowhere Boy. Most recently he had an impressive turn in Joe Wright's ambitious adaptation of Anna Karenina, and the fact that Johnson is being approached for the Godzilla lead tells me that the studio and Edwards are keen on filling this thing out with good-looking actors who are also, you know, talented.
The previous shortlist story that we reported on claimed that the studio was high on Cavill and Joseph Gordon-Levitt for the starring role in the film, while the "creative" choices were McNairy and Jones. Gordon-Levitt passed on the gig a while ago, but Johnson seems like a solid choice. We know next to nothing about the project at this point other than the fact that Edwards is going for a realistic tone with his take on the monster tale, but the test footage at Comic-Con last summer blew me away.
We should hear more soon as the film heads towards its March 14th production start-date in Hawaii in Vancouver. Godzilla is set to hit theaters on May 16, 2014.

We need a video about stickies Shug
We need a video about stickies Shug
YEH thats a cracking idea !!!!
I disagree with telling folks to search before they post...just my opinion.
people posting ..regardless if it is redundant keeps a board active.....
I have seen other boards dang near run new folks off when they are told to use the search button instead of just helping them out..
one of the reasons I like HF is there is not a bunch of " Big Heads" blowing people off and what can be perceived as " your question is beneath me sysdrome"

Stickies definitely help... Especially on a forum like this when there is a hundred plus people on at any given time and hundreds of post a day. The search function is not always helpful... But, I completely understand when people ask questions first without reading all the stickies...
There is a LOT of them and they are LONG. And sometimes the info you might think will be in one sticky is in fact in another... It can take a very long time to find stuff sometimes and the easier route for most people is just to ask a question and save all that time.
It's also good for sparking new conversations/ideas...
There is a place for both i suppose ;o)
Are stickys searching??? They are right there and hold good information that gets over-looked by the new ones on a forum.
My wish would be that they were highlighted at all times ...like new posts. Then they might catch the eye more. Not trying to blow anyone off but instead trying to help.
I get a lot of PMs asking questions (the curse of videos I reckon) and more often than not just repeat a sticky or lead the member to a sticky.
Whoooo Sticky!
ShugArt Hammock Paintings....https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShugArtStu...t_trust_header
Whooooo Buddy)))) All Secure in Sector Seven
Shug should not be the google of HF.
Were do you find stickies ???
I agree with you about the stickies but I was just saying I think the problem with everyone not doing it is that while they all pertain great information it may not be the exact info they r looking for or it may just be easier tor them to post the question rather then reading through all the stickies on the forum...
People are lazy ;-)
It's hard to have a bad day in a good hammock. - Jeremy Flatt
But there is a lot of info here, and often it not always where you thought it was... The stickies are great... But even here as on Internet searches in general you get results that require deeper searching and picking though...
I come here from several devices, and often on very poor network connections, here as in other forums it is sometimes easiers to ask a question, and have people post links or comments than for me to search and pick bough the results that take a lot of time on a slow or connection that often drops out....

"Dancing with the Stars" chose its three celebrity finalists on Tuesday night, eliminating one of the final four from the competition.
Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco became the 100th celebrity eliminated on the ABC reality competition, as ESPN's Erin Andrews advanced to compete in the finals for the coveted mirrorball trophy alongside Olympic men's figure skating champ Evan Lysacek and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.
Although Tuesday forced Chad into the bottom 2 for a second time, he reacted confidently (a change over his dramatic reaction last week), even cracking a smile as he said his goodbyes.
"This was awesome," Chad told show co-host Tom Bergeron. "I enjoyed the journey, I met some wonderful people. I got some great criticism that's only made me stronger, man. And I met… the beautiful Cheryl Burke, and in my eyes really, I've already won… So this is beautiful."
On Monday night's competition show, Chad had put in a strong ballroom showing with Cheryl, waltzing to a score of 27 in the first round, and later netting 25 for the pair's samba. The night was an emotional one for Chad, however, as May 17 would have been the 27th birthday of his close friend and teammate Chris Henry, who died after falling off the back of a truck following what authorities said was a domestic dispute, in December 2009.
"Happy birthday to Chris Henry, may he rest in peace," Chad said on Monday night's show.
Interestingly, Chad had been Tweeting earlier in the day about the significance between his Bengals' jersey number – 85, and Chris' – 15, which adds up to 100. Coincidentally, he was the 100th star eliminated from the show the following night.
"Showtime in 8 minutes, going HAM tonight in memory of Chris Slim Henry R.I.P #15 happy birthday bruh, smile on me 2night 85+15=100 ways," Chad Tweeted on Monday night.
Chad's journey on "Dancing" was a dramatic one. After showing promise early in the season, he stumbled a few times, showing off stiff moves instead of the graceful style competitors like Nicole quickly picked up. He struggled at times in rehearsals with Cheryl going from flirty Chad, to moody Chad, to determined Chad.
The athlete, however, eventually channeled his drive and improved enough to bring him to the final four, a feat judge Len Goodman even complimented him on as Chad was the only celebrity in the semifinal round who had no dance experience.
"It makes me more competitive," Chad told show co-host Brooke Burke on Monday night of his "Dancing" disadvantage. "That's what this process is about on 'Dancing with the Stars' — It's about people with no dance experience at all, climbing those mountains, getting over those obstacles. So, you know, I'm enjoying it all the way."
There was one time, however, that Chad didn't enjoy the show. Just one week ago, Chad was relegated to the bottom 2 for the first time, and he nearly broke down on live television.
"I'm not even gonna lie, my heart racing like this is a life or death situation, man I might cry on TV, I work to[o] hard to go home," he previously Tweeted.
While not widely known, during his time in Los Angeles – where "Dancing" is filmed – Chad became very involved with his fans via Twitter. Several times the football star organized movie nights, Tweeting a location and promising to pay for tickets, popcorn and a soda, for fans who met up with the star at a local movie theater – promises he made good on. He also flew in some of his fans out to Los Angeles to support him on Monday night's "Dancing."

I just wanted to toss out a few quick (ha!) thoughts today regarding the Real Money Auction House (RMAH) in Diablo. For those of you who aren't aware of what this is, basically it's an auction house supported by Blizzard that allows players to sell gear from actual, spendable currency. The way it works is that you can list items that other people can purchase for real world money. You receive payment in the form of "Blizz Bucks", that you can then cash out via paypal for US Dollars (or whatever your currency is).
I didn't really have much of an opinion on the RMAH when it was announced, and didn't have much of an opinion as the game released and it was delayed. However, now that I've gotten farther into the game and invested more time, I was surprised to realize that I had an overwhelmingly negative reaction to it when it went live yesterday. I think this stems from the fact that I have zero desire to pay money for items, or to use a second currency (blizz bucks) or a second auction house to advance my character in the game. I am already somewhat cash poor – and my gear upgrades on the AH cost an obscene amount of gold (I bought a ceremonial knife last night with mana regen and no IAS, that was a 1700 dps upgrade, for the bargain basement price of 500k gold). I am now worried that with the addition of the RMAH, and eventually the ability to purchase gold, that it is going to cause a massive inflation in the cost of items on the gold auction house to the point that you are forced to utilize the RMAH to obtain upgrades to your gear. Not only that, but I am now also forced to utilize a currency that isn't innately found or earned within the game itself.
I understand that I can utilize the RMAH without ever investing a dime of my real world cash, but there is just something…offsetting about the whole process. I don't even know if I can exactly describe why I dislike it so much. To me, the fun in the game has been playing it. Not farming the AH for steals and deals. Not "flipping" items on the AH. But actually participating in the game play itself; you know, going out and smashing things in the face with my dart gun and having my ass handed to me in return. I don't want to be misleading, I've certainly used the auction house to acquire upgrades; but the auction house isn't what draws me to sit down at my computer and log in.
I guess, ultimately, I have a sinking feeling that if I want to improve my character to its maximum potential I am going to have to participate in a system that I don't think I agree with. There is just something…cheap about buying gear for real money. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just old fashioned or short sighted. But I have realized that I pretty strongly feel that I should be able to earn my rewards through the time, effort and work I put into my game, and not through how much pocket money I (or anyone else) have to spend on any given day.
How do you feel about the RMAH?

NYC trip part I
I am sad to say I came back home with a broken camera. :(
While it's being repaired I was able to get a few images off the memory card. It's sporadic but here are a few snaps of our first morning in Brooklyn. We stayed in the Nu Hotel which was within walking distance of quite a few great places. We had breakfast at this French restaurant called Cafe Luluc which had amazing Eggs Benedict and an open store front where you can see the street and nearby stores.
Anyways, once I the camera gets fixed I can properly download the photos I took to share with you. Fingers crossed it's a quick fix!!

Managers of the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) health insurance exchanges may be able to connect with partners that sell vision insurance, disability insurance, life insurance, long-term care insurance (LTCI) and other ancillary insurance products.
Officials at the Center for Consumer Information & Insurance Oversight (CCIIO), the arm of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that oversees the exchange programs, give guidelines for ancillary products sales in a set of answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs).
PPACA requires HHS to work with state agencies to make the services of an exchange, or Web-based health insurance supermarket, available to residents of all 50 states and the District of Columbia by Oct. 1.
PPACA authorizes the exchanges to sell "qualified health plans" (QHPs) and stand-alone dental plans.
A PPACA exchange cannot sell any products other than QHPs and stand-alone dental plans, and it can sell QHP coverage and dental coverage only to "qualified individuals and qualified employers," CCIIO officials said in a FAQ answer.
But a state that's running an exchange can connect an exchange with "separate state programs that share resources and infrastructure with a state-based exchanged," and those separate "resource sharing" programs can sell ancillary products, officials said.
An exchange could provide basic information about ancillary products, and it could explain how consumers can go about signing up for the ancillary products through a "separate legally and publicly distinct program," officials said.
Before an exchange can connect users with an ancillary products program, the exchange must warn the consumer that consumers cannot use the new PPACA health insurance purchase tax credits to pay for the ancillary products.
"Purchasing information could include the ability for consumers to click on a product link that would take them to a page containing product and pricing information, where they could add the product to a shopping basket and purchase the product along with any QHP products," officials said.
An ancillary products page "may reside on the exchange information technology infrastructure" if the ancillary products page and associated call centers are legally and publicly distinct from the PPACA exchange enrollment operation, and as long as consumers get warnings about the fact that they are going outside the exchange system, officials said.
An ancillary products program cannot use federal exchange funds to support its activities, and it must pay for any exchange resources it is using, officials said.
The non-exchange products call center would have to have a different telephone number from the exchange telephone number, and the two call centers would have to have different scripts, officials said.

Cole set to join the hundred club
Ashley Cole is in line to become the seventh player to win 100 England caps after being named in Roy Hodgson's squad for next week's friendly with Brazil at Wembley.
Cole was part of a strong 24-man squad, with youngsters Raheem Sterling, Jonjo Shelvey and Wilfried Zaha all excluded as expected.
The most notable exclusion was Tottenham's Scott Parker, now fit again after returning from Euro 2012 with an Achilles injury.
Frank Lampard has been picked, along with Jack Wilshere, Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley, Leon Osman and skipper Steven Gerrard, who reached his century of caps in Sweden in November.
Hodgson has taken the unusual step of naming only two goalkeepers - Joe Hart and sought after Birmingham youngster Jack Butland - whilst Chris Smalling is called up for the first time during Hodgson's tenure after recovering from injury.
Jermain Defoe has also been included despite his present pelvic problem, joining Manchester United duo Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck, plus Liverpool new-boy Daniel Sturridge, in attack.

The season when my cellar is fit for drying is fast approaching. Coinciding with that, is the release of the new Michael Ruhlman book "Salumi".
Mine arrived in the post yesterday, and although I am yet to try any of the recipes, my initial impression is a positive one.
The format is very similar to his 'Charcuterie' book. The design, near identical, with the one exception that this time there are a few full colour pages filled with richly displayed home-cured meats.
As the title may suggest, the focus on this book is purely Italia and its incredible relationship with pork (mainly) and salt. There are even no recipes from neighbouring fellow Mediterranean countries.
The book starts off with a lot of theory and wholly justified musings on the art of dry-cured meats. Essentially, the book is a fully extended work based on the chapter 'Dry-cured meats' from the Charcuterie book. Recipes (not lots, but enough) are nicely worded and as ever, Ruhlman's charming, informative tone helps you along. It's not all cured meats...a few cooked products like mortadella fit in nicely too. I could do without the further recipes towards the back of the book explaining what you can do with your cured meats when they're ready (pasta with pancetta...etc etc etc), but some may find it useful.
As with other books by Ruhlman, they are unfortunately America-centric. Understandable, but a shame all the same.
If you have already got the hang of hanging your pancettas and guanciales, not to mention your finocchionas and soppressatas, and have found some good recipe sources on the internet, then you certainly do not need this book. But a well written book it is all the same, with useful tips and some good new takes on old bits of meat.

Founded in 1906, Citygate Network has some 300 members across North America. Each year, Citygate Network members serve approximately 70 million meals, provide more than 20 million nights of shelter and housing, assist some 45,000 people in finding employment, provide clothing to more than 750,000 people, and graduate nearly 20,000 homeless men and women from addiction recovery programs into productive living. The ramification of their work positively influences surrounding communities in countless ways.
While rescue is in the name of many of our members, the followers of Jesus running these missions and like-minded ministries see that aspect as just the beginning. In total, they are about:
Rescue: Pulling people to safety from adverse conditions and from choices and habits that lead to damaged health and death.
Redemption: Presenting people with a gospel that is about life transformation in Jesus and the reclamation of His creation.
Rehabilitation: Helping people break the bonds of addiction and desperate behavior and experience a life of healing and wholeness.
Re-assimilation: Preparing people to dwell in community and to have meaningful roles that lead to stability and missional living.
In all of this, Citygate Network is there to tell and re-tell the story to the church and the public at large, pointing out the need for laborers, resources, prayer, and a repentant attitude toward those who are homeless and poor. The organization's role is also to connect its members with current news, creative ideas, and cost-saving programs in order to expedite the continual movement of their ministries to higher levels of professionalism in order to achieve greater outcomes.
Citygate Network exists to provide the envisioning, education, training, resources, guidance, representation, and nexus for missions and kindred ministries that are striving to move people in destitute conditions or desperate situations from human suffering to human flourishing through the process of gospel-powered life transformation.

Jan. 25, 2011 -- The FDA today approved over-the-counter sale of Allegra, the best-selling antihistamine also sold generically as fexofenadine.
Allegra maker Sanofi-aventis says Allegra will be on retail shelves on March 4, in plenty of time for spring allergy season.
Other Allegra products will also be sold over the counter. In addition to Allegra 24-Hour and 12-Hour Tablets for adults and children ages 12 and older, these products include:
- Children's Allegra 12-hour tablets for children ages 6 years and older.
- Allegra Liquid for children ages 2 years and older.
- Children's Allegra 12-Hour Orally Disintegrating Tablets for children ages 6 years and older.
- Allegra-D 24-Hour and 12-Hour Allergy and Congestion Extended Release Tablets for adults and children ages 12 years and older.
Allegra-D products combine the antihistamine fexofenadine with the decongestant pseudoephedrine.
How much will it cost? "Pricing for the Allegra family of OTC products will be at the discretion of each retailer," a spokesperson for Sanofi-aventis U.S. tells WebMD via email.
Several companies sell generic fexofenadine but have not yet announced their plans for OTC sale.

The SCO Group attempted to stave off liquidation in June by signing a last minute deal with Gulf Capital Partners and a tech firm called unXis. The terms of the agreement, which were finalized only moments before a court hearing, stipulated that SCO would sell its remaining UNIX assets for $2.4 million—a maneuver that could have potentially made it possible for SCO to continue pursuing its bogus litigation against the open source Linux operating system.
In a decision this week, a bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross blocked the asset sale and suggested that SCO should not be permitted to continue burning money to the detriment of its creditors while the litigation goes on forever. He notes that the proposed sale would leave SCO without any tenable reorganization strategy and would make the company's sustainability entirely dependent on the pending litigation. Expressing frustration with SCO's stalling tactics, the Judge astutely suggests that SCO's hopes for successful litigation are looking increasingly like a bad remix of Waiting for Godot.
"These bankruptcy cases have been pending for 23 months. Were the Court to approve the Sale Motion, Debtors sole business would be the Litigation, putting aside the Mobility business which is of de minimis value. There would be no plan of reorganization and instead, all that the Debtors would have to show for their millions of dollars of post-petition losses is the Litigation," the Judge wrote. "The Court is now unwilling to continue to wait while Debtors' losses mount and the Debtors intend to dismiss the Chapter 11 cases. During the Hearing on the Conversion Motions and the Sale Motion, Debtors' constant refrain of waiting for the Litigation to succeed reminded the Court of Samuel Beckett's play, Waiting for Godot."
In Beckett's celebrated two-act tragicomedy, a pair of protagonists wait endlessly for the arrival of a man named Godot and unsuccessfully attempt to hang themselves when he doesn't arrive. There are many different interpretations of the play, but it has often referenced as a metaphor for anticipation of a fulfillment that is perpetually deferred. The haplessness of the protagonists and the futility of their plight bear much in common with SCO's self-inflicted predicament.
The Judge says that SCO's continuing losses are "staggering" and cites a monthly operating report from March in which the company revealed that it has lost over $8 million since the initial filing, not including the costs of its numerous failed reorganization attempts.
Although Judge Gross blocked the asset sale, he also declined to convert SCO's bankruptcy to Chapter 7 as Novell requested. He expressed concern about how SCO's liquidation would impact other parties, particularly the company's customers, which range from McDonald's to the US Navy. He decided to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee to ascertain whether SCO's ongoing litigation should justify staying the company's conversion to Chapter 7.
SCO's appeal of the 2007 ruling in favor of Novell is still pending in the Tenth Circuit, but it's unlikely that the appeal will prove fruitful for the company. The evidence that has emerged so far has demonstrated clearly that SCO never even owned the rights to SVRX UNIX and that the company's own internal audits of Linux source code found no evidence of infringement. SCO has used various stalling tactics to avoid complete liquidation, but its time is clearly running out.
