Welcome to my blog! I'm a Sr. Software Development Engineer in the Seattle area, who has been performing C++/C#/Java development for over 20 years, but have definitely learned that there is always more to learn!
All thoughts and opinions expressed in my blog and my comments are my own and do not represent the thoughts of my employer.
I've decided to create a sub-series of my Little Wonders posts to focus on C++. Just like their C# counterparts, these posts will focus on those features of the C++ language that can help improve code by making it easier to write and maintain. The index of the C# Little Wonders can be found here.
This has been a busy week with a rollout of some new website features here at my work, so I don't have a big post for this week. But I wanted to write something up, and since lately I've been renewing my C++ skills in a separate project, it seemed like a good opportunity to start a C++ Little Wonders series. Most of my development work still tends to focus on C#, but it was great to get back into the saddle and renew my C++ knowledge.
Today I'm going to focus on a new feature in C++11 (formerly known as C++0x, which is a major move forward in the C++ language standard). While this small keyword can seem so trivial, I feel it is a big step forward in improving readability in C++ programs.
If you've worked on C++ for a long time, you probably have some passing familiarity with the old auto keyword as one of those rarely used C++ keywords that was almost never used because it was the default.
That is, in the code below (before C++11):
1: int foo()
2: {
3: // automatic variables (allocated and deallocated on stack)
4: int x;
5: auto int y;
7: // static variables (retain their value across calls)
8: static int z;
10: return 0;
11: }
The variable x is assumed to be auto because that is the default, thus it is unnecessary to specify it explicitly as in the declaration of y below that. Basically, an auto variable is one that is allocated and de-allocated on the stack automatically. Contrast this to static variables, that are allocated statically and exist across the lifetime of the program.
Because auto was so rarely (if ever) used since it is the norm, they decided to remove it for this purpose and give it new meaning in C++11.
Now, if your compiler supports C++ 11 (or at least a good subset of C++11 or 0x) you can take advantage of type inference in C++. For those of you from the C# world, this means that the auto keyword in C++ now behaves a lot like the var keyword in C#!
For example, many of us have had to declare those massive type declarations for an iterator before. Let's say we have a std::map of std::string to int which will map names to ages:
1: std::map<std::string, int> myMap;
And then let's say we want to find the age of a given person:
1: // Egad that's a long type...
2: std::map<std::string, int>::const_iterator pos = myMap.find(targetName);
Notice that big ugly type definition to declare variable pos? Sure, we could shorten this by creating a typedef of our specific map type if we wanted, but now with the auto keyword there's no need:
1: // much shorter!
2: auto pos = myMap.find(targetName);
The auto now tells the compiler to determine what type pos should be based on what it's being assigned to. This is not dynamic typing, it still determines the type as if it were explicitly declared and once declared that type cannot be changed. That is, this is invalid:
1: // x is type int
2: auto x = 42;
4: // can't assign string to int
5: x = "Hello";
Once the compiler determines x is type int it is exactly as if we typed int x = 42; instead, so don't' confuse it with dynamic typing, it's still very type-safe.
An interesting feature of the auto keyword is that you can modify the inferred type:
1: // declare method that returns int*
2: int* GetPointer();
4: // p1 is int*, auto inferred type is int
5: auto *p1 = GetPointer();
7: // ps is int*, auto inferred type is int*
8: auto p2 = GetPointer();
Notice in both of these cases, p1 and p2 are determined to be int* but in each case the inferred type was different. because we declared p1 as auto *p1 and GetPointer() returns int*, it inferred the type int was needed to complete the declaration.
In the second case, however, we declared p2 as auto p2 which means the inferred type was int*. Ultimately, this make p1 and p2 the same type, but which type is inferred makes a difference, if you are chaining multiple inferred declarations together. In these cases, the inferred type of each must match the first:
1: // Type inferred is int
2: // p1 is int*
3: // p2 is int
4: // p3 is int&
5: auto *p1 = GetPointer(), p2 = 42, &p3 = p2;
1: // syntax error, p1 was inferred to be int* so p2 and p3 don't make sense
2: auto p1 = GetPointer(), p2 = 42, &p3 = p2;
You could also use const or static to modify the inferred type:
1: // inferred type is an int, theAnswer is a const int
2: const auto theAnswer = 42;
4: // inferred type is double, Pi is a static double
5: static auto Pi = 3.1415927;
Thus in the examples above it inferred the types int and double respectively, which were then modified to const and static.
The auto keyword has gotten new life in C++11 to allow you to infer the type of a variable from it's initialization. This simple little keyword can be used to cut down large declarations for complex types into a much more readable form, where appropriate.

Healthy nutrition starts as early as infancy with breastfeeding. Once your baby begins eating solid foods, introduce nutritious foods early on and often. Sometimes toddlers need to try a food 10 times before they actually accept and enjoy it. It is also important to encourage play time as soon as they start crawling and walking. As your children grow, continue to help them live a healthy active lifestyle.
To lead a healthy active life, families can strive to reach these goals:
To help children live healthy active lives, parents can:
In addition to 5, 2, 1, 0, families can make small changes in their family routines to help everyone lead healthier active lives. Try:

Have You Heard About… Dad is Fat
… why it's a bad idea to raise five kids in a New York City apartment? Dad is Fat, by Jim Gaffigan, is pretty much what we expect when we read something written by a comedian – short, humorous vignettes about a certain topic that could very likely have been pulled from the person's stand-up routine…or in Gaffigan's case, actually HAVE been pulled from his routine. But this doesn't work against the book, mainly because I really, really like Jim Gaffigan!
I had to read this book in short segments, because his stories of trying to get his five wriggling children out the door with all of their clothes on made ME exhausted, and I don't even have kids. If his main intent was to accurately convey his trials and tribulations as a parent, he succeeded ten times over. (For example, answering unanswerable questions, like "Why are you a stand-up chameleon?" or "Why don't dogs get the chicken pops?")
And occasionally, he does break form and talk about something serious and relevant, like the tendency of strangers to ask insensitive questions about the number of children a couple may or may not have. "I don't mean to get up on a diaper box," he says, "but individual liberties are all-important in this country…except when it comes to the number of children you have or don't have." A refreshing change of pace. But lest you worry that fatherhood is making him serious, Jim goes right back to comedy. "I say we just live and let live. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave enough to have five kids." Point taken. But I don't plan on having five children anytime soon.

B.E.A.M.S. sheds some more light on recent UK sightings
Posted by dandare on August 26, 2007
B.E.A.M.S. (British Earth And Aerial Mysteries Society- founded 1991), has reported that maybe the latest sightings (ie Stratford-upon-avon) are not as straightforward as was first thought. In this article (see Here), the founder of B.E.A.M.S, saw something in Farnborough, and
" According to Ken, they weren't lanterns. Nor were they what people have come to believe UFOs are. For this interview, put aside your notions of flying saucers and black triangles. Ken believes these lights are much more than that..[.]"
There is an interview with him on the sighting, and a video of what was seen; he also disputes the Stratford-upon-avon sightings as being not chinese lanterns, or ufo balloons.
This begs the question, how many other sightings are out there, that are not know about in the UK, (of which a fair few are lanterns…sorry but that is what i had concluded from what evidence i had available).
I will look into this in more detail, and come back with what was reported this year (with these types of sightings), and see what we already have in a later article….as to just dismiss this as all lanterns,ect may be was a mistake on my part.
On this site, is another report on a sighting in Bedford (England), on the 16th July,2007; in which up to 12 ufos were seen in the daylight sky (see here).

16. STEVE JOBS: Your time is limited
Steve Jobs (1955-2011) was just some dude who founded a computer company no one has ever heard of. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. You don't need me to tell you why Jobs was a great man so I'll just explain what's going on in the panels above:
Panel 2: After dropping out of college, Jobs and Steve Wozniak formed Apple in Jobs' parent's garage. Their first product, the Apple I was released in 1976.
Panel 3: When Jobs was overlooked to head the main 'Lisa' project by the Apple board, he formed a new team to produce the Macintosh, released in 1984. He likened his team to renegade pirates fighting against the Navy (hence the pirate flag in the background). Jobs was a perfectionist, and was seen as a tyrant and bully by some of his employees.
Panel 4: In 1985, Jobs was fired as head of the Macintosh division by the Apple board after political infighting between him and the CEO. He was forced to leave the company he co-founded.
Panel 5: Jobs formed NeXT computers, which released their first workstation in 1990. Their computers were known for their really awesome operating system.
Panel 6: In 1986, Jobs bought a computer graphics company for $10 million which was later renamed Pixar. With John Lasseter as the creative brains of the company, Pixar went on to produce some of the greatest movies ever and make a kazillion dollars.
Panel 7: In 1996, Jobs returned to Apple as CEO after they purchased his company, NeXT. The NeXT operating system became the basis for Mac OS X.
Panel 8: From 1998, with Jobs at the helm and the release of the iMac G3, Apple has since released a range of products that have changed the world – from the way people listen and buy music, to creating new industries and just changing the way we consume media in general. Not bad for a college dropout.
– This quote is a very small section taken from Jobs' 2005 Stanford commencement speech. It's probably the most famous commencement speech of all time – you can read or watch the whole thing here.
– Being a designer, it's pretty much pre-ordained that I must use and love Macs (which I do) or face being a pariah in the design community. I think designers are probably the most passionate Apple apostles out there – just picture a sarcastic guy in a black skivvy and chunky black glasses casually mention to an IT guy, "PC's are sooooo lame."

Bedouin men perform at a restaurant in Amman, Jordan. (photo: Greg Tarczynksi)
Yesterday, the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra played a concert in the Apostolic Palace of Castelgandolfo to celebrate the feast of St. Benedict, patron of Europe. Pope Benedict XVI spoke afterward, thanking the performers and reflecting on the unifying effect of music:
"Music,", the pontiff continued, "is the harmony of differences ? from the multiplicity of tones of the various instruments a symphony can arise. However, this doesn't happen magically or automatically. It comes only from ? a patient and laborious commitment, which requires time and sacrifices in the effort to listen to one another, avoiding excessive egoism and privileging the best success of the whole."
Continuing, the Pope emphasized that the symphonies that were performed, Beethoven's Fifth and Sixth, express two aspects of life: "drama and peace; humanity's struggle against adversity and its enlightening immersion in a bucolic environment. The message I would like to draw from it for today is this: to achieve peace we must dedicate ourselves to dialogue with a personal and communal conversion, patiently seeking possible areas of understanding."

Aeron, Remastered to Perform Today
When Herman Miller released the Aeron chair in 1994, it quickly began to change the landscape. With a comprehensive approach to ergonomics, anthropometrics, and user functionality, it performed like no chair that had come before. In doing so, it also ended up looking like no chair that had come before. With Aeron, materials don't simply contribute to the appearance of the chair, they are the design.
In revisiting Aeron for today's work and workers, every effort was made to significantly improve upon the comfort and performance of the original, while also creating a beautiful, harmonious look-and-feel through updated colors, materials, and finishes.
Through hundreds of samples, tests, and iterations, Herman Miller arrived at three tightly curated, holistic material expressions. Graphite is the darkest, a modern take on the original Aeron. Carbon offers a balanced neutral that works equally well in warm and cool environments. Mineral is the lightest, ideal for today's more open environments.
Created through a unique painting process, Aeron's satin aluminum finish offers a luster redolent of high-end electronic equipment. Colors were developed to harmonize with the chair's other components.
Details such as these contribute to a product worthy of the Aeron name, but they are not enough. Each detail contributes to a seamless whole. To simplify the specification process, Herman Miller now offers Aeron in a range of three tightly curated, holistic material expressions: Graphite, Carbon, and Mineral.
About Herman Miller
Founded in West Michigan in 1905, Herman Miller has grown to become a world-recognized furniture brand. As a design leader and furniture innovator, they've partnered with some of the most influential and iconic designers of the 20th century—designers like Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Isamu Noguchi, Alexander Girard and more. In doing so, they've produced pieces that have become classics of industrial design, many of which are featured on permanent display in museums like the New York Museum of Contemporary Art (MoMA).
Herman Miller continued that legacy in 1994 by partnering with designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick. They went about developing an office chair unlike any before it. Bringing together the latest in ergonomic research and design, they developed the legendary Classic Aeron chair, the best selling office chair in the world.
Today, Herman Miller continues that tradition of design forward thinking and innovation. Partnering with the next generation of industrial designers—such as Studio 7.5 and Yves Behar— as they tackle the ergonomic and anthropometric challenges we face in today's modern work life.

Hello, im trying to change my friends xfce desktop to match that of osx leopard. So far i have the main parts of the window done but i still need to change the bottom right resize handle image. Anyone know ere that image is hiding? Or the config file that deals with it? And not as important but how do i make the bottom corners rounded?
i still need to change the bottom right resize handle image
You can change the size of the grip by adding the following code:
style "default-style"
GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 4
GtkWindow::resize-grip-width = 4
class "GtkWidget" style "default-style"
...(change 4 to desired value) and adding the code to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (for single-user use) or /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc (for system-wide use)
To change the appearance of the grip, look in the theme's gtk-2.0 folder at the resize_grip.png file.
how do i make the bottom corners rounded
This is specific to the window manager theme. You'll have to either choose an existing xfwm4 window manager theme that has rounded corners, or edit the graphic files yourself (you can find those files in the theme's xfwm4 folder).
Thank you for replying. The resize image ill have to wait until i am home but the rounded corners i could not get to work by changing the images to be rounded. I wish i kept a screen shot of what it looked like but basically however large i would make the image it would strip the border off that size. While keeping it non-rounded. Sorry hard to explain.
Have a look at the Alternate theme as a reference - it uses rounded borders. Are you making the background of the bottom-left|right* images transparent?
Ok ill have to check that out i tried finding a theme with rounded edges but i must have missed it. And yes i was using a transparent background. I even tried to just use the top-left|right images(vertical fliped) that were rounded to just see if it would work but it didn't.
well i found and change the resize-grip.png but...it didnt change anything haha. i think im going to give up on this and move to something else i may come back later. thanks for your help.

December 30 is the feast of Saint Connla, described in the Martyrologies as a Bishop of Rúsgach. Unfortunately, apart from discovering that this locality was identified by 19th-century scholar John O'Donovan as Rooskagh, a townland in the barony of Moycashel, County Westmeath, I have been unable to find out any further details. The Martyrology of Donegal records:
CONNLA, Bishop of Rúsgach.
Our saint is not the only one associated with this locality to be recorded in the Martyrology of Donegal, for on August 20 one of the saints commemorated is:
MOTRENÓG, son of Aenghus, Abbot, of Rúsgach.
The commemoration of a bishop and an abbot clearly indicates that there must have been a monastery at this site, I will hope therefore to be able to find out something more about this foundation.

A Facebook application using misleading messages spread quickly over the weekend. The application itself did no harm beyond making a mess but may be part of an indirect attempt to attract surfers towards sites promoting scareware packages.
The application, Error Check System, posed as notification of errors in a Facebook user's profile. Attempting to view these supposed errors allowed the application to activate. This, in turn, allowed the application to access to the affected user's friends, who were then spammed with notifications, further spreading the social networking chain-letter.
The Unofficial Facebook blog reports that the application created a message blizzard over the weekend.
The Facebook application performs no malign activity on the social network site beyond spreading around and annoying people. However searches for the phrase "Error Check System" via Google and other search engines return numerous results pointing to sites punting rogue antivirus (AKA scareware) packages. The promotion of fake antimalware sites may therefore be the ultimate aim of the miscreants behind the attack, anti-virus firm F-Secure speculates. ®

InnerFidelity's "Wall of Fame"
Editor's Note: As of June 2018, Tyll has retired and The Wall of Fame will no longer be updated, but all the content already posted shall remain as a reference for legacy purposes.
The following is my first of many passes at creating a one-stop spot for getting advice on the best headphones available. I've disabled the comments for this post so that it doesn't get confusing for folks showing up for advice.
Why a "Wall of Fame?"
Between forums, emails, Facebook, Twitter, and the InnerFidelity YouTube channel, I get asked, "What headphones should I buy?" at least 50 times a day. I can't possibly answer all the questions or I'd never get my job done. So, I present you with the InnerFidelity "Wall of Fame."
Want to know what headphones I think are best? You'll find them here.
In my headphone evaluation area, I have a wall with a pegboard that holds my favorite headphones of every type and price to compare with the cans I receive for review. One day it dawned on me that simply doing a really good job keeping track of these headphones would provide a great way to answer the question: "What headphones should I buy?"
These pages contain my current favorite headphones, and are a great place to come for headphone recommendations. Feel free to send your friends here too.
How the Wall of Fame is Organized
Basic categories of headphone types will be sorted by page in the Wall of Fame. You'll find links to each category at the bottom of every page.
- Over-Ear Open (around-the-ear, circumaural; does not isolate you from outside noise): These headphones generally deliver the best quality and are used in quiet environments as they provide very little isolation from outside noise.
- Over-Ear Sealed (provides some isolation): These headphones provide some isolation in louder environments to let you hear your music better.
- On-Ear Open (on-the-ear, supra-aural; does not isolate): These are lightweight, cool, comfortable, good sounding headphones that let you remain aware of your environment. They're often used with a portable player while moving about, both indoors and out.
- On-Ear Sealed: This extremely versatile type of headphone is lightweight, cool, and will isolate you from outside sounds; it is used by audio pros, enthusiasts, and consumers alike.
- Earphones (seals in ear canal): This type of headphone can be very good sounding, and delivers the highest amount of isolation of any headphone type, but can be uncomfortable for some.
- Noise Canceling (uses active electronics for noise canceling, may be of various headphone types): Used to provide better isolation than full-size sealed types. These headphones have batteries and use active electronics to reduce outside noise. Sound quality with this type of headphone can range from very poor to fairly good, but often has an odd and/or unnatural character.
- Wireless (Bluetooth, KLEER, and other wireless protocols): This category includes both home base station units for TV/movie viewing, and Bluetooth/wireless devices for use portably.
How the Wall of Fame Works
The WoF will be an ongoing project. Whenever I find a headphone that is my favorite of a particular type/price, I will put it on the Wall of Fame and it will receive a Wall of Fame badge. Manufacturers and Retailers may display the badge on packaging and web sites (if on the web, the badge must link back to the WoF page that product is on).
If a headphone gets knocked off the WoF with a subsequent product, it can still wear the WoF badge, though now retired from the wall. Headphones knocked off the WoF (or discontinued) will be retired to a section at the bottom of the page they were on.

It's taken me a while to get back into blogging after the Christmas and New Year festivities – I hope you all had a good time and ate and drank well!
Steve and I spent Christmas Day at my Dad's house where my disjointed family gathers and we never have the traditional turkey as no one likes it. We opted for goose as my Mum cooked it a couple of years ago and it was delicious. We nearly didn't have it though because they're so expensive (the big supermarkets were charging about £40!) but my Mum found them in Aldi for about £15 – bargain! Unfortunately my Dad got rid of his oven because it was so old (it's older than me and I'm nearly 29!) and although my Mum bought my Dad one of those halogen ovens, the whole goose wouldn't fit inside it.
So onto Plan B.
Which was to cook the goose on the BBQ! I was a bit sceptical that my Dad could pull it off, but he said "Don't worry, I'm an engineer" and he'd done some research on recipes for stuffing the bird so he sounded like he knew what he was doing. Steve and I arrived at my Dad's house about 12pm on Christmas Day and we could smell the goose cooking as soon as we got out of the car. It smelled so good that a hungry fox couldn't help but investigate where the delicious smell was coming from and my Dad had to chase it away.
My Dad said he lit the BBQ at 9.30am and starting cooking the goose at about 10am. It was ready roughly after 2pm and we were starving. Luckily my Mum had bought a roast duck from a Chinese supermarket and so we had duck in pancakes with cucumber, spring onion and hoi-sin sauce as a starter. Very non-traditional but we liked it! After this we were pretty full but we still managed to scoff down the goose, pork sausage meat stuffing, roast potatoes, parsnips and veggies. My brother did the potatoes and veggies and they were excellent. He also has a halogen oven as my Mum bought one for him too. She now owns 2 of them herself. I think she must have shares in the company!
The goose was nicely cooked, but it was a little too smoky for us which is a shame as my Dad put a lot of effort into it.
I did Crème Brulee for dessert. I'm still perfecting my recipe and technique, but everyone loved it and I had fun using my blowtorch.
I'd made a Banana Cake for my Mum as a gift. I used Andi Peter's recipe and it worked out really well. I forgot to take a photo so will have to make it again and blog the recipe.
I'd also made some cakes using a new cake tin that Steve bought for me. It had 3 different shapes: Santa, a snowman and a Christmas tree. I was going to decorate the cakes but I ran out of time as I'd made loads of Ecclefechan Tarts as well. We still ate the cakes about a week after Christmas, but as a pudding. I poured golden syrup all over the cake, then covered it with custard and nuked it in the microwave for 1 minute. It tasted just like treacle sponge pudding! Steve had his with strawberry jam. I just used the cupcake recipe for the cakes, so I will definitely make this again for a quick and easy pudding!

Hot diggity dog
"Bud is terrified of dogs. As those of you who live with and love people on the spectrum may know, I am not talking about anxiety. I'm not even talking about fear. This is terror."
Today, I'm posting this picture:
Everything is possible.

At this rate, dogs may be more scared of Bud... but with all of that love, probably not that either.

Congrats on the doggie love! I'm still working with my son to treat the dog with a little bit of compassion. He has a hard time distinguishing the dog from his stuffed animals in terms of feelings.
I'm sorry to contact you on your comment form, btw. But I need to ask your help and I couldn't find your email address.
I'm writing to ask your help in promoting The BareFoot Review ( Http://www.barefootreview.org). The Barefoot Review is an open poetry forum for poets with disabilities and their caretakers. It is a valuable cathartic resource for people living with disabilities. Right now TBR is actively seeking submissions for their next issue.
Is there any way possible you could mention The BareFoot Review on your blog?

Hi there! I've been reading your blog. Your child certainly is special and seems like a nice guy. I myself have three siblings with special needs, I'm trying to spread the word about a book I wrote. It is entitled "The Horse's Help". It is a book in which an English speaking horse strives to help young adults with psychical and mental disabilities.
I'd love if you could read the book, depending on how busy you are.
Please, email me with any questions and tell me what you think of the book once you read it. :)
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Here is the blog for the book (soon to be books! All the books will be avalible to read online for FREE!) The first one is now up!:
Thank you very much for reading. :)

I need to say hello and thank you...I just found your blog today through a twitter link, and I'm sitting here with a box of kleenex because between laughing and crying I need 'em! My Matt is 1 year younger than Bud, and sounds oh so similar. Thank you for all the inspiring, comforting, and "normalizing" posts; it's very good to hear that we, and Matt, aren't alone!
- June 05, 2012 10:07 PM
Great picture! Could you share some ways you got over the fear of dogs? As you aptly said, these are not just fears but rather terrors. We have gotten through the fear of plants, but now have a fear of bees and of thunder, so that when our resident weather expert (of course the same son with autism!) sees a cloud he says is a thunder cloud he begins to physically tremble. I'd love some ideas as to how others have pushed through to the other side of these fears because everything we did with plants isn't working this time!

I also want to share an inspiring story. It's the story of Brandon who made hugh progress as well.

I just found my way to reading the posts you wrote about being invited to speak at Bud's school, to his classmates. I than you for your heart, what gifts you have been given to in turn give to those students and to others moms of kids on the spectrum. It also brightened my heart to get to you blog directly and see your sweet son with dogs. I will continue to get daily feedings of such positive hope and love to not get drained to give beyond my own son and two daughters!

By Tracy Connor, Staff Writer, NBC News
Federal law requires anyone served with an order of protection to give up their guns, but it's rarely enforced at the state level, leaving domestic violence victims in jeopardy.
One community in California, though, is using a federal grant to tackle the problem -- with promising results, as a report by NBC News' "Rock Center with Brian Williams" found.
San Mateo County Deputy Sheriff John Kovach and his partner head a team that tracks down and confiscates these weapons one by one. Last year, his department collected 324 firearms and for the third year didn't have a single gun-related domestic violence homicide.
"We have shotguns, rifles, pretty much any kinda gun you can imagine," Kovach said as he displayed the contents of his gun vault.
"Right here we have a submachine gun that was actually purchased illegally in Nevada and brought into the State of California. And this was recovered during one of our investigations of a restraining order."
When someone in his county takes out an order of protection, Kovach interviews them to find out what kind of guns the other party might have. Then he goes to the home to serve the order and take the weapons.
Sometimes the owner says they don't have the weapons any longer; sometimes they say they're at a relative's home, which means another stop for Kovach and his partner.
The sleuthing and legwork is worth it, he said.
"I've worked in a lot of different areas of law enforcement," Kovach said. "They are all satisfying, but nothing like this."
He noted that responding to a domestic violence incident is among the most perilous calls for a police officer. Getting guns out of the hands of those with restraining orders means other cops -- along with civilians -- are safe, he said.
In Spokane, Wash., mother of two Stephanie Holten learned how ineffective an order of protection can be if the other person is still armed.
After she told her ex-husband she was seeing someone else, he threatened her, she said.
"He said to my face that he would come over to my house and put a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger, that he would blow my head off," she said.
She filed a police report and obtained an order of protection. Police served her ex with the order, but no one took his gun. Nine hours later, he was at Holten's door with the weapon.
"He starts yelling at me, 'I was served a protection order today and I'm going to kill you. I'm going to shoot you,'" Holten recalled.
"I'm on my knees by the living room couch and he's standing over me. And I am looking at this gun barrel."
Secretly Holten used her cell phone to call 911, and police rescued her. Her ex-husband is in prison now.
Kelly Starr of the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence said the episode could easily have had a more tragic ending.
"When there is a gun around is when we see domestic violence turn to murder," she said. "What we know is that domestic violence victims are five times more likely to be killed if there's a gun around."
Statistics like that are why Kovach believes he is making a difference.
"I know I am saving lives," he said.

Clearly I'm talking about drinking for mana here. I don't know what else you guys could be thinking…
And by "borrowed time", I'm picturing 5-man heroic with one of those tanks who plays with his eyes closed and his finger on the forward button. And I'm picturing you, with your mana bar empty, cursing and swearing, trying to keep up.
I don't get to look at other healers often. In 5 mans, I'm usually the healer. In raids, I'm too self centered to spy on my co-healer's drinking habits. But I do like to talk to other healers, especially healers who are in guilds similar to mine, where we're used to chilling a bit between pulls. And on the rare occasion where I'm not the healer in a 5 man, I'm watching my healer's every move.
So, healers condemned to running 5-mans, tell me, which scenario is more like you?
Scenario 1:
1- Mob pack dies
2- Drink
3- Catch up to group
4- Heal next pull
Scenario 2:
1- Mob pack dies
2-Catch up to group
3- Drink
4- Heal next pull
Scenario 1 is the careful healers. The "when I make a mess I clean it up right away" folk. These people are probably very successful and organized in their offline life.
They probably really hate 5 mans though.
Scenario 2 seems riskier (what if the tank pulls and I'm not ready?), but you have to get over appearances. Consider the following:
1- You can't sit down to drink while you're in combat, but if you're already drinking when someone pulls, you'll keep drinking.
2- If you mana bar has boiled dry, you want to drink as long as possible, but still be able to get up and back to business if you need to.
And which scenario allows you to drink into combat and get up when your team needs some heals?
Scenario 2.
Plus, if you're a paladin (I swear, holy paladins were designed with 5 mans in mind!), Scenario 2 allows you to regen some mana via Divine Plea so that when you do sit down to drink, your mana bar is already partially filled up.
So the key to dealing with hasty tank without running out of mana?
If you need to drink, drink before the pulls, not after.
EDIT: I've had a lot of people mention that a tank might pull if you're nearby but would wait if you're out of range. I'm not sure that a tank who can't see you sitting down and drinking is going to notice you're out of range. And unless I'm totally drained, I also don't want a tank to stop pulling. I'll drink for a few seconds into the pull, then stand up when I need to start healing. If I need more time, I'll ask for it.

Illinois State University's business college is implementing a dress code intended to give the students an edge in the professional world.
The College of Business at Illinois State University is taking aim at images of pajama-wearing students with backwards hats. Starting next week, students majoring in marketing or business teacher education will have to wear business casual attire to class or risk being sent home for the day.
While many business schools at colleges and universities encourage students to dress up for interviews and meetings, not many require a dress code in class. ISU officials implemented this code, they say, as a way to give their students an edge in the professional world.
Students were notified of the dress code in letters sent out in early August. This week works as a grace period before students and professors are required to fully adhere to the code Monday.
"We're looking at different ways of enhancing the professionalism of our students," said Tim Longfellow, chairman of ISU's marketing department.
The dress code is an extension of the College of Business's standards of professional and ethical conduct, which encourages students and professors to dress appropriately in class. "In the wake of 9-11 and the (business) scandals that followed, businesses and the press started asking what business schools are doing or not doing," said Norris Porter, assistant to the dean for student services. "We wanted to make clear what we are about and make sure our students learned professionalism, so our standards were established," Porter said.
The marketing department began testing the dress code in select classes in 2003, and last fall, all students in the professional sales sequence were required to dress in business casual attire to class.
"I have noticed in my interactions with these students that when they come dressed in business attire, they look like they are ready to do serious work. They are attentive, they're courteous and have a sense of confidence about them," said Amy Humphreys, assistant to the dean for constituent relations.
Longfellow said he is not aware of any similar code at a public university, but noted some private universities do have similar policies. He said medical and education programs in some public universities do require a similar dress code, however.
The dress code has received some criticism from the online blog College Freedom, where some expressed concern that such a policy could disproportionately affect poorer students. The blog states, "Buying business casual clothing may force already impoverished students to go into debt."
"I do think that it is something we have to be aware of," Longfellow said. "I have not had students come to me or faculty members to say they don't have the money for this."

Robert Pattinson Might Be A Presenter At The BAFTA Awards — Will He Bring K-Stew?
The BAFTAs are where Rob first confirmed his relationship with K-Stew and now they have a chance to go again!
Robert Pattinson is no stranger to the BAFTA Awards, the British equivalent to the Oscars. He presented at last year's award ceremony and it looks like he may be returning to London to attend this year's festivities according to a new ad posted on British fansite, RobertPattinsonUK.
The ad features Rob's face, leading some fans to question whether this means he'll be asked to present for the 2011 ceremony held on Feb. 13. The 2010 British Academy Film Awards were special for Rob, 24, and Kristen, 20. It's where Rob finally admitted the pair were dating. He told the Sun, "It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can't arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it's impossible."
They may not have walked the red carpet together, but Rob was cheering as Kirsten received the Rising Star Award during last year's ceremony.
Will they walk the red carpet together at this year's BAFTA Awards? Rob arrived solo at the Golden Globes on Jan. 16 but the BAFTAs may be different since they are one day before Valentine's Day. This could be a brief romantic break for the Twilight couple since they've been so busy lately filming Breaking Dawn.
Award show season keeps heating up and with the Grammys in LA being held the same day as the BAFTAs in London, it's going to be one star-studded night no matter what continent you are on.

April 03, 2014
By Kenneth D. Miller
Assistant Managing Editor
For more than four decades the name Danny J. Bakewell Sr. has become synonymous with family, civil rights and the uplifting of the African American culture, but on March 25th, the CEO of Bakewell Media which owns the Sentinel, L.A. Watts Times and WBOK Radio Station in his native Louisiana released his first book at Eso Won Book Store in Leimert Park.
It was book that not even he could have envisioned several years ago when he embarked on a selfless mission for justice and equal rights for Black Americans, but he certainly discovered the right niche in which to gain Blacks attention.
The dinner table, at backyard barbeques, reunions and an array of family functions that has collectively placed Blacks in unison as One is what led Bakewell to create and found the Taste of Soul Family Festival held annually in October on Crenshaw Blvd.
Derived from that concept was Bakewell's out of the box mindset that led him to publish the Taste of Soul Cookbook which pays homage to the many local chefs who own establishments in the Black community.
Then spicing it up with unique family recipes from his late ancestors and current wife and soulmate Aline, is what transforms this book from a how to do, but what to do.
"Taste of Soul was discovered because I had an unquenchable thirst of what was possible for Black people," Bakewell explained to the audience of dozens at Eso Won.
"We deserve to enjoy our community just like everybody else enjoys their community. We had a right to be able to assemble in our community without fear, without factors of people mistrusting us and not believing in us," he added.
With his long committed assistant Brenda Marsh-Mitchell as the driving force, Bakewell began testing his concept among elected officials, community advocates, family and friends.
Many tentatively listened because Bakewell was delivering the message, but few dare believe that he would hold an event that would essentially shut down Crenshaw Blvd., and that there would not be any consequences or mishaps along the way.
"You can't close down Crenshaw Blvd.," he recalled them saying. "There might be trouble, they indicated. You get a lot of us together and you might have a problem," the naysayers queried.
Bakewell extolled," Why is it that we can't come together in our own community in the spirit of pride, respect and enjoyment. To use our own community to share and fulfill our own dreams and aspirations, to show our children just how wonderful we are as a people and also invite other people into our community where they would be fully welcomed to a community full of love, family, respect."
Hence almost a decade later, the Taste of Soul Family Festival is one of the largest and most successfully Black celebrations in America, growing from 35,000 in it first year to more than 350,000 last year.
The first installment of the cookbook is a vivid, colorful and delicious documentation of that cultural experience which has evolved into Taste of Soul Nation, exceeding the boundaries of South Los Angeles and well beyond.
While the Bakewell vision has been keen, he took very little credit for producing a keepsake as valuable of the Taste of Soul Cookbook.
"It is not me, it is my staff that work on a daily basis which allows my vision to turn into a living reality which our community can see, touch, feel and experience," he said.
"I'd like to thank my team who gave so much of themselves and worked to help bring this book to fruition."
And, thus embark upon the unlimited possibilities . . .

Control Templates
Controls in WPF are separated into logic, that defines the states, events and properties and template, that defines the visual appearance of the control. The wireup between the logic and the template is done by DataBinding.
Each control has a default template. This gives the control a basic appearance. The default template is typically shipped together with the control and available for all common windows themes. It is by convention wrapped into a style, that is identified by value of the
The template is defined by a dependency property called
The control template is often included in a style that contains other property settings. The following code sample shows a simple control template for a button with an ellipse shape.
<Style x:Key="DialogButtonStyle" TargetType="Button"> <Setter Property="Template"> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}"> <Grid> <Ellipse Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}" Stroke="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"/> <ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/> </Grid> </ControlTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style>
<Button Style="{StaticResource DialogButtonStyle}" />
A Button without and with a custom control template
When you create a custom control template and you want to define a placeholder that renders the content, you can use the
{RelativeSource TemplatedParent} not working in DataTriggers of a ControlTemplate
If you want to bind to a property of a property on your control like
But when you are using a DataTrigger, with
What if a Binding working or a Setter is not applied when using a control template
There is something you need to know when setting a value of an element within a control template: The value does have a lower precendence as the local value! So if you are setting the local value in the constructor of the contained element, you cannot override it within the controltemplate. But if you use the element directly in your view, it will work. So be aware of this behavior!.

The Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard has a paper out on the future of public broadcasting (download the PDF). Among the trends and forecasts, authors Pat Aufderheide and Jessica Clark note "a few participatory media public broadcasting experiments gesture to a future in which audiences are treated as both trusted partners and engaged citizens." One of these experiments is Minnesota Public Radio's Public Insight Network, whose members serve as sources, story suggesters, brainstorming allies, and volunteer interviewees for reporters. The other is the World Without Oil game:
"A web-based project of ITVS's Independent Lens, World Without Oil not only demonstrated the potential of online role-playing games to spark participation around social issues, but foreshadowed public reactions to our current oil price crunch. More than 1900 gamers from 40-plus countries collaboratively imagined their reactions to a simulated 8-month energy crisis through submissions via blogs, Flickr, YouTube, and podcasts. Participants virtually carpooled and bought bikes, moved out of transportation-poor suburbs, and started backyard gardens—and then reported corresponding changes in their real lives."
The report summarizes: "Such immersive, authentic engagement with both audiences and issues is what is needed to ensure public broadcasters' relevance in an ever-more participatory media universe." One exciting idea: Local stations could change what they define as their core task, becoming more like an electronic public library for the
community. Except that the "library" focuses on futures (and the local actions that choose among them) rather than the past? That's a value proposition that's relevant to our time. Photo by Will Survive via Flickr.

Fans, a former first lady and a who's who of country stars alike gathered at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville on Friday to pay their respects to George Jones at a funeral befitting one of country's most emotive and most revered singers.
"Life didn't stop for George on Friday, it started," Pastor Mike White told the crowd at the temple to country music of the superstar who died last week at 81, the Tennessean reported.
The funeral culminated with a performance by Alan Jackson of one of Jones' most enduring hits — "He Stopped Loving Her Today," a sweeping song of a devoted man's death and funeral.
U.S. & World
Jackson held his white cowboy hat over his heart for the song's final verse. "We love you, George," he said after he finished, as Jones' flower-laden casket was carried up the center aisle.
Also on hand to mourn the troubled man better known to many as "Possum" were thousands of fans who had waited in line since as early as 3 a.m. local time, as well as former first lady Laura Bush.
"He sang from his heart and his soul," Bush said, according to the Tennessean, recalling days in her youth when "my friends and I must have put 1,000 quarters in the juke box to listen to 'The Race Is On.'"
Jones was also serenaded by Vince Gill, Kid Rock, Brad Paisley, Tanya Tucker, Wynonna Judd, Charlie Daniels and Randy Travis, as well as by Jackson.
The funeral was broadcast live on cable music television channels CMT and GAC and — in a nod to simpler times when Jones was at his biggest — on all local television networks.
Jones was in the midst of a farewell tour that was to have wrapped up with an all-star salute in November in Nashville. He postponed two performances two weeks ago and entered the hospital with a fever and irregular blood pressure. He'd been ill off and on over the previous year.
Jones' pure, matchless baritone defined the sound of country music for a half century and his death brought universal reaction from the music community and fans. Known for hits like "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes," ''White Lightning" and "He Stopped Loving Her Today," widely acknowledged as the greatest country song, Jones had No. 1s in four decades from the 1950s to the 1980s and "Possum" remained a popular figure in Music City until his death.
Once married to Tammy Wynette, he was the living embodiment of the words "country music star" at the height of his career and continues to have broad influence on the genre, especially with artists who prefer traditional country to today's pop- and rock-influenced sounds.
Jones also had his troubles as he battled substance abuse and money troubles, but always seemed to slide by with his sense of humor and knowing grin intact.
He won a Grammy and two consecutive Country Music Association song of the year awards for "He Stopped Loving Her Today," and was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992. He was among the artists honored in Washington at the Kennedy Center in 2008.
The Beaumont, Texas, native had been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1956, which makes the setting of Thursday's ceremony all the more fitting. The Opry House holds more than 4,000 people and was expected to be filled beyond capacity.

A spurned production company thinks Martin Scorsese ain't quite the goodfella.
Cecchi Gori Pictures has sued the Oscar-winning auteur for breach of contract after he allegedly bailed on a project that he agreed to direct for them 20 years ago, E! News has confirmed.
U.S. & World
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the company claims that in 1990 the "Raging Bull" director signed on to helm an adaptation of the Japanese novel "Silence," a religion-tinged drama about the persecution of Christians in 17th-century Japan by its imperious emperor
The company, which was founded by Italian magnate Vittorio Cecchi Gori, alleges that it already dropped $750,000 to kick-start the project and that Scorsese had committed to directing it after finishing work on 1997's Kundun.
According to the suit, the director postponed "Silence" so he could direct "The Departed," "Shutter Island" and "Hugo." As part of that deferment deal, Scorsese agreed to pay what essentially amounts to a delay fee in order to work on those three films before Silence.
Chris Brown, Drake sued for $16 million by NYC brawl club
The suit alleges that Scorsese failed to pay the fees--which reportedly ran up to $1.25-$1.5 million per film along with a cut of the grosses--as well as jilted Cecchi Gori Pictures again by ditching the project to work on "The Wolf of Wall Street," his upcoming flick starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Cecchi Gori Pictures is seeking to have its agreement with Scorsese reformed and/or rescinded, and is also asking for unspecified compensatory damages, interest and court costs.

It's a common sight to see Amazon perched at the top of consumer satisfaction surveys thanks largely to its speedy delivery and massive product range.
But a new survey suggests that it's not just Amazon that's delivering an excellent online shopping experience.
In fact, the Nunwood report shows that supermarket customers gave the online experience scores which were higher by an average of 3.9%.
Across the wider non-food retail sector, customers that had interacted with a brand purely online gave the experience on average a 5% higher score than those who had experienced the same brand purely in-store.
Waitrose had the highest differential between its online and offline scores, with e-commerce outscoring the in-store experience by 6.5%.
Nunwood's UK Customer Experience Excellence report is based on more than 40,000 individual experiences from around 7,500 individuals.
It links six key aspects of experience delivery with commercial outcomes based on consumer intentions towards positive word of mouth and future purchase loyalty.
Nunwood's research tallies with a survey from Tealeaf which found that UK consumers are more likely to use e-commerce than make a trip to a brick-and-mortar store.
The survey of 2,071 adults found that when it comes to making a retail purchase the use of a laptop or desktop computer (83%) actually beats trips to a store (81%).
The difference is most noticeable among respondents aged 34-44, where the difference was 85% to 78% in favour of e-commerce.
In Nunwood's study, Amazon came top for the third year running, followed by John Lewis and First Direct.
The report suggests that consumer preference for e-commerce is down to two main factors.
Firstly, people value their time and effort, and "across the whole report almost one in five people said that the extent to which they felt a brand valued their time was the most important factor in deciding whether they would recommend or re-purchase from that brand."
This highlights the importance of offering consumers an enjoyable user experience online and reducing the number of steps in the purchase journey.
We often see brands putting up unnecessary barriers, such as forcing registration, which is frustrating for time-conscious consumers and is a common cause of basket abandonment.
It's not surprising that Amazon frequently comes out on top of satisfaction surveys, as its one-click payment method makes it unbelievably simple to make a purchase.
The second reason Nunwood cites is the fact that e-commerce is a far more controlled environment.
Companies know when they can deliver products and can plan fulfilment around the consumer's preferences.
In contrast, a range of uncontrollable factors influence the in-store experience, such as long queues, screaming kids and even bad weather.
However it suggests that the most important challenge for multichannel retailers is ensuring that they offer a consistent experience offline and online.
John Lewis achieved high customer satisfaction scores as it has successfully begun integrating in-store, internet and mobile, as well as using Waitrose locations for collections. Personalisation software also helps create unique experiences for each customer.

It contains more than 60 recommendations for retailers who want to succeed in a digital age, covering topics including in-store wi-fi, 'reserve and collect', in-store kiosks and 'pop-up shops'.

No sooner was it publicly revealed that the United States would now treat damaging cyberattacks by other nations as an act of war, threatening retaliation with conventional weapons, the new, bold, some say foolish, policy, was immediately put to the test.
China Google hackers' goal: Spying on U.S. Govt.
It's the second time Google has blamed a major computer hacking scheme on China, reports CBS News correspondent Wyatt Andrews.
This time Google says unknown hackers from Jinan, China, a city with a military command center, stole the personal Gmail passwords of hundreds of senior U.S .government officials.
Google said the hackers' "goal" was to eavesdrop on the officials — "to monitor the content of the users' emails."
That suggestion — of spying — rang alarm bells in the Administration.
"These allegations are very serious," said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "We take them seriously. We're looking into them."

Google, what exactly is the China connection for the phishing scare?
Is Google an agent of the US Government? It certainly gives that impression
So far, the U.S. has uncovered a successful espionage phishing expedition, against top level U.S. Government officials, tracked back to a specific Chinese city. Why aren't we bombing China, isn't this a perfect situation to show how our new military policy will treat hacking intrusions like this as acts of war? Unfortunately for us, China denies the attack and, as I pointed out yesterday, it's extremely difficult to be absolutely sure as to the origins of cyberattacks like this, so we do nothing and our brand new policy looks foolish and radiates national weakness.
/instead of making toothless threats to send missile strikes in response to hack attacks, why don't we just send the Chinese back a nice Stuxnet worm or take down Baidu with a complimentary DoS attack

The art of Palestinian embroidery, from tradition to social business
The Palestine Monitor
- December 17, 2016
Main News
] [
Send by email:
Taita Leila, a company that creates hand-embroidered clothing in Palestine while aiming to preserve Palestinian arts and crafts heritage, has launched its second collection with new ideas for social business in Palestine.
The name is a reference to the founder's grandmother, Leila el Khalidi, renowned author of the landmark book "The Art of Palestinian Embroidery," known for her research on Palestinian textile.
Noora Husseini, Leila's granddaughter, started Taita Leila in 2015.
Replica Watches
She launched a crowdfunding campaign in June, so that she could start her business, get people to know about it, and launch the first collection. She raised more than $36,000 –exceeding her expectations. "The funds collected were used to register the business, fix up our website for e-commerce, stock up our inventory, and market our collection to the world," she explains.
But for the second collection,
The Benayiq
, they had to think about what would be better for the company. After some brainstorming, they decided that
another crowdfunding campaign
would be the best option, and the most sustainable for their business and the 30 women it employs.
The idea is for customers to place an order by donating the amount of money equivalent to the price of the piece they want to purchase. Then, once the campaign is over, the piece will be made and delivered within 6 weeks.
"We really realized working with women that we need to work around their schedule and not the other way around" explains Noora Husseini. It took her and her team a year to find the perfect network of embroiderers in all corners of Palestine. They were looking for women that would be reliable, and whose crafts would meet their high standards of quality.
"For instance, we had the hardest time to find women that could do a proper 'Couching' stitching, the traditional embroidery style of Bethlehem, and to this day, we only work with two women that really master this stitching," says Noora.
Her aim, she says, is to empower those women by getting them involved in a business producing pieces sold internationally. But she also knows that all of the women working with Taita Leila have to work around their day-to-day commitments to their families and close-knit society.
"We needed better planning," Noora sums up. She's confident customers will get used to this way of producing and understand that this is what it takes for the business to remain high-end and for the women to work without unnecessary pressure.
"We know we have to be delicate and respect all sensitive situations," Husseini modestly says, referring to family or personal circumstances that may be difficult to handle for women who work with her. Taking the bigger picture into account, Noora feels that there is no way Taita Leila will be sustainable if the women leave the framework because of external reasons and constraints.
Taita Leila's clothes are entirely made in Palestine, with fabrics sourced from local factories. Its website was first developed in Gaza and Noora takes pride in such a long and complex business venture. "But it takes time. A lot," she concludes with a smile.

State Rep. Bob Allen told police he was just playing along when a undercover officer suggested in a public restroom that the legislator give him oral sex and $20 because he was intimidated, according to a taped statement and other documents released Thursday.
So, next time you're feeling racist and surrounded, consider offering illicit oral sex and money in exchange for your own personal safety. Hey, it works for Florida politicians.
