NBA Games
San Antonio Spurs at Dallas Mavericks
San Antonio is trying to stay at the top of the Western Conference, and with a five game lead on the Thunder, there is little chance they could lose it. The Mavericks are still battling with Golden State, Phoenix, and Memphis for the last three playoff spots, so they need every win from here on out. Beating the Spurs is no easy task though, as they have been phenomenal since the All-Star break. Since there is little to lose for the Spurs, they could be resting their stars, which could make it easier for Dallas to pick up a win.

All the best pics from the quarters, right here. Published June 04, 2014 12:10 The quarterfinals of the French Open kicked off on Tuesday, with a pair of Spaniards in action... While Carla Suárez Navarro was taking Eugenie Bouchard on, Garbiñe Muguruza faced Maria Sharapova. Muguruza was on complete fire on Chatrier, taking the first set on Sharapova comfortably, 6-1. Meanwhile, Suárez Navarro was storming out to a 5-2 lead on Lenglen against an out-of-sorts Bouchard. But that's when the fighting spirit kicked in... Bouchard came back to take the first set and ended up rallying from 4-1 down in the third set too. And just after Sharapova completed a magnificent 1-6, 7-5, 6-1 comeback against Muguruza... ... Bouchard was putting the finishing touches on her own 7-6(4), 2-6, 7-5 win over Suárez Navarro. The next two quarterfinals took place on Wednesday - first up, Sara Errani versus Andrea Petkovic. Petkovic had lost to Errani in their last meeting about a month ago, and in straight sets too... But this time she was on complete fire - she stormed past Errani in just over an hour, 6-2, 6-2. A similar scoreline was developing on Court Suzanne Lenglen as Svetlana Kuznetsova met Simona Halep. Halep was on fire there too, storming past the two-time Grand Slam champion in straights, 6-2, 6-2. Halep was cheered on by a large Romanian crowd contingent - she's Romania's best ever, after all. Halep is now through to her first Grand Slam semifinal. Both semifinals take place on Thursday...

My husband and I are looking at going to the Caribbean or Mexico for our 10 year anniversary next summer (July-September) for a week. We are coming from Texas. We have never traveled outside the US before and are a bit overwhelmed on where to go. So many beautiful places. We want to stick with All-Inclusive. Romantic, white beaches, good food, not too touristy/ over-crowded - preferably couples/adults only. With fun activities/excursions - snorkeling and golf either on the resort or close by. Any suggestions would be appreciated on location and resorts! We've looked at Antigua, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, and Cabo but are absolutely open to any other suggestions! Any advice or favorite spots? Thank You!!

All Inclusive in Caribbean or Mexico?
Report Abuse
Check out all the listings for the Riviera Maya. There are tons of amazing AIs there, from fancy to casual, and all price ranges. That area will have all the activities you can handle, and the beaches are fantastic. Probably the best bang for your buck when it comes to AIs.
Report Abuse
I also would point you towards the "Mayan Riviera", the coastline of Mexico that faces the Caribbean. From Cancun, down to Playa del Carmen, and on to Akumal and Tulum. To me that offers the best of both the Caribbean (white sand, turquoise waters) and Mexico (more bang for your buck).
Cabo San Lucas is nice, but most of the All-Inclusive properties sit a ways outside of the town along the tourist "Corridor". It's desert scenery, rough and rugged, and the ocean is not swimmable most places. But there is golf, and you could take boat excursions for snorkeling.
Report Abuse
Wonderful! Thank you both for the feedback! I really appreciate it! Will take a look!! thank you.
Report Abuse
You may get more out of Riviera Maya but you need to choose your AI carefully so you get a beach that meets your expectations. Some parts are not easy to swim & other beaches that are for snorkelling are rocky which is necessary otherwise there would be no fish to see.
Antigua's beaches are by far more beautiful but there is no snorkelling to speak of. You can take several excursions to see various sites eg Nelsons Dockyard, stingray city, Montserrat, Barbuda etc. If you are looking for non touristy then Riviera Maya is not the place to go as it is more crowded than Antigua. But if you have not travelled outside the US it could be the easiest intro to the Caribbean area.
Report Abuse
We are you n Texas? We are in Texas also and find getting to some destinations in the Caribbean to be very difficult. We go to Mexico often because it's easier and less time consuming to get there. Mexico also has the better, more lux AI resorts at better prices than the Caribbean.
In the Riviera Maya look at the Royal Playa del Carmen, the Secret resorts, the Excellance resorts, the El Dorado resorts, the Iberostar Grand Parasio, the Valentin Imperial, Zoetry, Grand Velas, Royal Hideaway or Moon Palace just to name a few.
Though we loved Cabo, the beaches and snorkeling are pretty meh compared to the Caribbean side of Mexico. We went knowing that upfront. The food was fabulous though. There is more things to see and do in the Riviera Maya.
August - September is the start of hurricane season. We've been many times to Mexico/Caribbean and took our chances. We don't go during those months anymore. It's too hot and too humid. Watching the weather channel constantly to see if our vacation was going to get canceled was annoying. We ended up going a couple of times after a hurricane had already hit. Too much damage to establishments so things were closed or not working properly. We prefer the 3rd week of May, the 1st or 2nd week of November or the 1st or 2nd week of December. However, in November and December, the pools are too cold in Mexico. The ocean temps are fine though.

WOW! LOL! I am also looking for a place for our 10 yr, and we too are here in Texas. Please let me know what you find. I have roughly 15 months to plan the perfect vacay. I use "Book It" for the best deals, but we want a very fun vacay too.. Scuba, zip lining, dolphins, room service, the whole kit and caboodle.

Authors' Forum: The Jim Crow Routine: Everyday Performances of Race and the End of Segregation in Mississippi
Stephen Berrey, U-M assistant professor of American culture and history, talks with Angela Dillard, U-M Earl Lewis Collegiate Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies, about Berrey's recent book, The Jim Crow Routine: Everyday Performances of Race and the End of Segregation in Mississippi.
The South's system of Jim Crow racial oppression is usually understood in terms of legal segregation that mandated the separation of white and black Americans. Yet, as Berrey shows, it was also a high-stakes drama that played out in the routines of everyday life, where blacks and whites regularly interacted on sidewalks and buses and in businesses and homes. Every day, individuals made, unmade, and remade Jim Crow in how they played their racial roles—how they moved, talked, even gestured. The highly visible but often subtle nature of these interactions constituted the Jim Crow routine.

So, too, as men realized that this kingdom stood for a certain tone of mind, and saw that this peculiar spirit was enshrined in the Church, they began to speak of the Church as "the kingdom of God".
[cf. Colossians 1:13; 1 Thessalonians 2:12; Apocalypse 1:6-9 and 5:10, etc.]
The kingdom was regarded as Christ's and He presents it to the Father
[cf. 1 Corinthians 15:23-28; 2 Timothy 4:1.]
The kingdom of God means, then, the ruling of God in our hearts; it means those principles which separate us off from the kingdom of the world and the devil; it means the benign sway of grace; it means the Church as that Divine institution whereby we may make sure of attaining the spirit of Christ and so win that ultimate kingdom of God Where He reigns without end in "the holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
(Revelation 21:2)."

A great little hostel with a boutique hotel feel to it: very clean, well kept place. Airport transfers worked out perfectly and they were a huge help in securing tours and travel. It was friendly, quiet and relaxed when we stayed there (off-season) - we liked it so much we returned on our way back through Istanbul.

I'm using the following code in an attempt to programatically allow the NetworkService account to have access to a key:
var RSA = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(
new CspParameters() {
KeyContainerName = "MyEncryptionKey",
Flags = CspProviderFlags.UseExistingKey | CspProviderFlags.UseMachineKeyStore
new System.Security.AccessControl.CryptoKeyAccessRule(
new SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.NetworkServiceSid, null),
This code runs without error, but has no effect on the key container's permissions.
However, using the commandline tool aspnet_regiis to do the same thing, works perfectly:
aspnet_regiis -pa "MyEncryptionKey" "NetworkService"
I'm running with full admin rights - if I don't run with those rights, then an exception is thrown. I'm also running as the user that initially created the key.
The key container always has the following access rules:
S-1-5-18 -> LocalSystem
S-1-5-32-544 -> Administrators
S-1-5-5-0-135377 -> MyUser
With aspnet_regiis, the SID, S-1-5-20 gets added to this list. I can't affect it from code.
I've tried creating the security identifier from the sid in string format, as well as using SetAccessRule instead of AddAccessRule.
Any ideas how to actually affect this ACL list from code?

Phoenix Suns
Phoenix Suns to play Golden State for Summer League crown
The Phoenix Suns have never won a championship in their 45-year history. The belief is that the rebuilding franchise will take a while to get back to championship-contending level.
But they could win a different kind of title Monday.
The Suns will take on the Golden State Warriors for the first-ever championship of the Las Vegas Summer League.
Phoenix (6-0) advanced to the title game with a 91-89 win over the Miami Heat Sunday at Thomas and Mack Center. Markieff Morris hit a driving shot with 21.8 seconds to go to break a 89-89 tie and send the Suns to the championship game.
P.J. Tucker paced Phoenix with 19 points.
"We're here, we might as well try to win it," Tucker told NBA TV following the game.
The Suns take on the Warriors Monday night at 6:00 p.m. for the Summer League crown.

What If Matt Smith Appeared on 'Sherlock'? Benedict Cumberbatch Would Like that Very Much
By Dustin Rowles | Trade News | January 9, 2014 | Comments ()
First off, if you've been watching Sherlock over the UK, or you're cheating in the United States and watching it ahead of time, please refrain from spoiling everything for those of us who have not yet seen the first two episodes. Second, here's some good news: Stephen Moffat, along with writer Mark Gattis, have mapped out all of season four and five (this doesn't necessarily mean there will be a season four and five, but there will probably be a season four and five, and according to Moffat, season four and five contains the "best ideas" they've ever had).
Benedict Cumberbatch has also totally not completely ruled out the possibility that Matt Smith might, could, maybe one day if the role were right and the schedules aligned and if there's no apocalypse and no one turns into a werewolf on the set then maybe quite possibly Matt Smith could be in an episode of Sherlock. Maybe.
"I love working with Matt. He's a phenomenal actor. I'd jump at the chance to work with him again. I don't know how likely that is to be on the set of Sherlock. If there was a perfect part for him, there's no rule against it. We wouldn't want it to be stunt casting, because stunt casting doesn't work, so it would have to be just because he was overwhelmingly right for it."
You hear that? He'd jump at the chance to work with him again. F**k it, it's confirmed. MATT SMITH WILL BE ON SHERLOCK. Tell all your friends.

What's your point? Classic ASP and VB6 are backward compatible with the latest version of .NET. So are (I think) latest versions of PHP, Java, etc. I'm not sure what you're getting at.Originally Posted by drhowarddrfine
What's your point? Classic ASP and VB6 are backward compatible with the latest version of .NET. So are (I think) latest versions of PHP, Java, etc. I'm not sure what you're getting at.Originally Posted by drhowarddrfine
Both have fallen out of favor with MS and they are moving on. My point is .NET is in favor until they find out it isn't so great after all. Or the money runs dry, in which case they move on to the next money machine.
Both have fallen out of favor because Microsoft brought something on board that was better than either of them - .NET. But again, so what? They're both compatible with .NET applications. I still don't get your point.
You can use ASP techniques with ASP.net? You can use VB6 with .NET? I'll give you minor tweaks but are you telling me they can be used on .NET without change?
Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you. That's what I was talking about when I said that .NET was backward compatible with them. I guess Microsoft is a bit smarter than you give them credit for, huh?Originally Posted by drhowarddrfine
Not at all. I've read that VB6 users are furious with MS for not supporting VB6 and that VB for .NET is totally different for them. Also, last I heard, ASP is significantly different than ASP.NET and they have to throw away many of the things they've learned over the years. That is why there are two boards here for posting to asp and asp.net. But you are telling me this isn't true?
Last edited by drhowarddrfine; 03-20-2006 at 04:02 AM.
So it was Joel on Software where I think I first heard it since I kept the link.
And about how vb6 developers are "up in arms" but that's not really what I was looking for. Haven't looked for the ASP link yet.The first big win was making Visual Basic.NET not backwards-compatible with VB 6.0.
Wikipedia says:
Also:Even though ASP.NET takes its name from Microsoft's old web development technology, ASP, the two differ significantly.
VB.NET is a totally new tool from the ground up, not backwards compatible with VB6.
Last edited by drhowarddrfine; 03-20-2006 at 04:02 AM.
Well, you're right about one thing. After a little Googling, I'll concede that there are *some* changes one has to make to their code to convert VB6 and classic ASP to .NET. However, you make it sound like developers have to totally rewrite their code when converting to .NET. Not true. In fact, pages such as this one would seem to suggest that there aren't that many coding changes that would need to be made. I can't speak from personal experience though. I did find what appears to be an interesting conversion tool, so it would appear that things are not as bleak as you would have us believe.
I'm still trying to figure out where you're coming from on this whole thing. Are you one of those "I hate Microsoft" kind of guys so by extension, everything they do sucks in some way? Would you have them stand still while the rest of the world moves toward object oriented code? How do you think they should develop their software?
Hey, I live near Rolla. I know people who went to Rolla. Don't trust people from Rolla.
I'm not anti-MS though I agree I can come across as such. I was burned by this whole ASP.NET thing a while back and I almost got burned by IEs quirks, bugs and everything else we all complain about, so I have a bad taste in my mouth from such things. That isn't the cause of my complaints against MS as much as it opened my eyes and made me look at the big picture. While Microsoft has created some wonderful prodcuts, it frequently takes place to the detrement of the developer and the community at large.
What I mean by detrement of the developer is the poor guys feeling he must run as fast as he can just to stay in one place. This constantly changing landscape is not created by new methods or technologies as much as it is created by an artificial need to continue to fill the coffers of MS. Yes, this is the job of any business, to make money and not the advancement of software and technology for the greater good unless that greater good makes greater money. I do not blame them for this but I do not have to like it.
What I mean by the detrement of the community at large is by their not following the standards of the world community but force us to follow their flag, for good or for ill. It's OK to create new elements for browsers which do new things. It is not OK for IE to not follow those standards but, due to its almost forced use on the average user, we must create non-standard elements just for its use. With great power comes great responsibility and Microsoft shows none of that responsibility.
As I mentioned elsewhere, Microsoft is a member of the web standards committee yet they are the least likely to follow standards web programming practices. This, as some would say, is one of the reasons MS is evil.
Ignoring all that, while some may say I am anti-Microsoft because I point out the deficiencies of IE and the wonders of Firefox or Opera, you would probably find more people who are unaware and just as much a fan of Internet Explorer and wouldn't dream of touching FF. So I am like them but choose the other side.
Your days of complaining about IE may be coming to an end soon, if you believe what's in this newsletter. You might be complaining about having to take all those CSS hacks out of your code instead of putting them in.
There is one inescapable fact about Microsoft though: They have the lion's share of the market, so like what they do or not, we all have to cater to them.
Last edited by vinyl-junkie; 03-21-2006 at 12:09 PM. Reason: Left out the word "hacks." Changes the whole meaning of that sentence!
Well what can I say!!
I'm really pleased I started this thread I've listened to both sides of the discussion and have learnt a great deal. I have decided to follow the C# path whether it leads me up the garden or not however I am now more aware of certain pitfalls the .NET framework may have, and I will not be turning my back on other languages and skills.
Thanks for all your comments, its been educational and fun.
You've brought up a major point. You don't use those hacks for IE7 but IE6 isn't disappearing for years to come. So you have to have one version of your page for IE6, one for IE7, one for the other IEs and, now get this ONE version for ALL other browsers. Why do we need three versions for Microsoft browsers but only one for everybody else? Yes, I know, I'm exaggerating a bit but not completely.You might be complaining about having to take all those CSS hacks out of your code instead of putting them in.
Hey, QBall, quit butting into our discu....oh....sorry.
That's funny!Originally Posted by drhowarddrfine
Sorry, Q. I know we highjacked your thread, and I must again apologize. You and I both can learn .NET and Visual Studio together, as I'm still very much a newbie at it.
Dr. Howard, do I read your comments correctly? You're complaining because we'll have to put hacks in our CSS for IE6?! Gee, I thought you'd be happy that Microsoft is finally fixing some of those bugs that prompted us to put the hacks in there in the first place. Like Netscape 4 and others, we'll someday be able to drop those hacks and say we're not gonna support IE6 anymore!
The only reason they were needed is because Microsoft didn't try and fix them for five years! Now hundreds of thousands of web sites are going to have to use both versions for years more! That's my gripe. If MS would learn how to produce a proper browser in the first place we wouldn't need hundreds of web sites discussing how to fix IE to make it work. It's like fiddling with rabbit ears on a television trying to make a page display in IE.
So, great. IE7 will now bring Microsoft into 1998 as far as CSS goes.
Better late than never!
