I finally managed to get along to my local user group last week and had a great time. Whilst it meets 10 miles from my home, I seem to rarely be 10miles from them when the actual date comes around. It was good to chat with Guy who runs it and many of the folks attending about a variety of topics. The next scheduled session is October 16th – and guess what, I am in Edinburgh 🙁 However, along came an email today from Guy with details of an additional session on the 13th which looked rather good – yippeeeee! Except, I am in Birmingham – boooo.
I would definitely recommend you check out these folks if you live in the Bristol/Bath area. The upcoming sessions are (in the words of Guy and Chris):
October 13th
Oren Eini is in the UK for two weeks and he is taking time out to come down to Bristol and talk to us on Monday 13th October 2008. Oren is the author of Rhino Mocks, a major contributor to the Castle Project and NHibernate and an international speaker. He will be presenting two subjects: "Producing Production Quality Software" and "Interaction based testing with Rhino Mocks". This is a great and rare opportunity which is why we have seized it. In addition Chris Myhill will be giving a grok talk on jQuery which is especially relevant now that Microsoft has announced that it will be included with all Visual Studio releases from here on (including ASP.NET MVC). To sign up for this event quote the "October Extra Meeting With Oren Eini".
October 16th
Our first ever meeting on a Thursday (16th October 2008) sees Liam Westley presenting "Virtualisation for developers – What, Why, Where?". Virtualisation is a valuable tool in the development process and Liam will be covering all of the options (as well as what you can get for free). In addition we will have a grok talk from Steve Sanderson entitled "Writing About ASP.NET MVC" where he will talk about his experience of writing his soon-to-be-released book on, well, ASP.NET MVC. To sign up for this event quote the "October Meeting With Liam Westley".

BTG Pactual, the Brazilian bank controlled by billionaire Andre Esteves, agreed to sell a $1.8 billion stake to a group of investors including the Rothschild and Agnelli families as well as Middle East and Asia funds.
The group includes U.S. investment firm J.C. Flowers & Co., the Government of Singapore Investment Corp., China Investment Corp. and the Abu Dhabi Investment Council, the Sao Paulo-based firm said in a statement today. The group will own about 19 percent of BTG following the transaction.
Esteves and his partners bought Banco BTG Pactual, Brazil's biggest equity underwriter, back from UBS AG for $2.5 billion last year. BTG, which cited market conditions for canceling an initial public offering in June, is expanding its mergers advisory and underwriting businesses as Latin America's largest economy grows at the fastest pace in more than two decades.
"It's the first transaction of this magnitude in our region and a very special transaction if you consider that BTG Pactual is an emerging-market bank," Esteves, 42, said on a conference call with reporters today.
BTG, based in Sao Paulo, managed $3.07 billion of Brazilian equity sales this year, putting it in seventh place among the country's top underwriters. The bank advised on 42 mergers and acquisitions involving Brazilian companies that totaled $24.9 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
'Rich Agenda'
Brazil's gross domestic product will expand 7.54 percent this year, according to a central bank survey of economists published today. Economic growth is benefitting from rising domestic demand and foreign direct investment, which increased 26 percent in October from a year earlier to $6.77 billion, the highest since December of 2008.
One of the goals of the transaction is to support the plans of the bank's new partners to invest in Brazil, according to Esteves. Those investors have a "rich agenda" for Brazil and Latin America that includes infrastructure projects, which are being announced on a "daily basis," he said.
For Exor SpA, the Agnellis' holding company, the BTG stake will provide more opportunities in emerging markets after investments in China and India, Exor Chairman John Elkann said in an e-mailed statement.
BTG Pactual is still considering an initial public offering as a "natural development" for the bank, Esteves said on a conference call. BTG may also make acquisitions in the region, he said.
"The capital increase, from this highly respected group of investors, will allow us to consolidate our position as a leading emerging market-based investment bank and asset manager," Esteves said in a written statement.
Linklaters LLP is representing the investor group, and Citigroup Inc. is providing financial advice. Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP is representing BTG Pactual.

Presenter: Libbi Gorr
Many working parents are feeling the stress of balancing work and family commitments.
Work life balance its the big issue for psychologists at the moment, who are reporting sky-rocketing stress level being experienced by working men and women .
For Psychology Week, Libbi Gorr spoke with John Cheetham, a practising psychologist who works through 'challenging family dynamics and encouraging personal motivation'. They said that many people listening overnight could be dealing with these issues: too stressed to sleep or getting up early to get ahead with their work. As parents people often feel they lack the time to do anything properly; to give time to their children and to their work. Many have added difficulties as they have the responsibility of looking after ageing parents. And there are also financial problems. In all many are finding modern living difficult and are yearning for simpler timesJohn Cheetham said that the number of people he is seeing dealing with these sorts of issues is on the increase. He spoke about the problems he is seeing clinically and techniques available to help people.Other aspects of the discussion were :# Can people think themselves out of these sorts of problems# How difficult for people to cope with change?# Do many people procrastinate rather than face these problems?# How can people take control of their lives?To help people with the stress they are feeling in their daily lives John Cheetham has released a CD called 'Back on Track'. See the second website listed below for details.

How to Use Medicare Plan Ratings
What Medicare Evaluates to Rate Quality
Medicare uses information from many sources to do the ratings. This includes surveys filled out by members of a health plan. Medicare also uses information from health care providers and from the plans.
Both health plans and prescription drug plans are evaluated on:
- How a plan helps you stay healthy
- What experiences members have had with a plan
- What complaints members have had, which includes problems getting care as well as whether the plan has improved in the past 2 years
- The plan's customer service
Prescription drug plans are also evaluated on how well they handle patient safety, which includes whether they give accurate information on drug prices.
In general, Medicare rates plans based on member health, member complaints, receipt of recommended care, and member satisfaction. Some of the factors used to rate plans may be important to your health and satisfaction with the plan, others less so. The ratings do not take into account whether the plan includes high-quality hospitals and doctors in its network.

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard, you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me
Taylor Swift expresses her guilt in "I Knew You Were Trouble" due to a relationship destined to fail. With its sound playing between electropop and dubstep, this song marks the significant period in which Swift began to move further away from her country roots and into more pop influences. TIME congratulated Swift on being "the first major artist to fuse country and dubstep."
It was originally released on October 9, 2012 as the third promo single from Red, and later as an official single on November 27, 2012.
The song was an international commercial success, charting as a top ten hit in more than a dozen countries. In the U.S., it debuted at number three, mainly due to digital sales of 416,000. Later, it peaked at number two, becoming one of her many top-two hits including "You Belong with Me" and "Today Was a Fairytale."

"Panorama views and relax" Top 5 Page for this destination Scuol by gmg61
Scuol Travel Guide: 87 reviews and 349 photos
Scuol is one of the most important cities of Engadina, the valley of the River Inn that flows parallel to the Alps from West to East.
It's located at 1.250 metres above the sea and it's a nice town with many nice decorated stone and wooden houses.
The town is an important centre for the Ladin culture.
Ladin is a Romanic language (and culture) that's alive nowadays mainly in Switzerland and in some italian valleys.
Ladin is the main language in Scuol area, so that most of the plates and shop signs are writte in Ladin; you'll find "Cuaff�r" for Coiffeur and "Restorant" for "Restaurant", "Bogn" for bath and so on
The town is divided into two main parts, Scuol Sura (Upper Scuol) and Scuol Sot (Lower Scuol) and many other small villages around.
In Scuol and around there are more than 20 thermal sources; 10 of them are used for drinking treatments abd the rest is used for thermal baths.
Wellness has become (together with ski and summer tourism) one of the main activities of the area.
There is a big and nice spa right in the centre of the town (see my tip for it) and there are other places where you can drink special mineral waters.

This might be a totally n00b question. The installation went fine I just dont know how to display it in a page? Any help is appreciated!
create a blank page and put in the tag {events_calendar} to get a graphical calendar...
for more information please read the documentation, it's part of the the calendar's settings page.
I put the tag {events_calendar} on our site and the page doesn't display anything? http://184.108.40.206/calendar/?event=1 Also on the home page, i can get the event to show up... but the link doesn't work, it just takes you to the blank page? http://220.127.116.11/ Am I doing something wrong? thanks!!
Same here, please help. I can print the calendar but the event is not showing. Some info is well received.
Hey Faebu, {events_calendar} doesn't mean anything. In fact all of the searches and I have spent a day searching show tags as functions i.e. events_calendar() which you have to put inside php quotes.
I have tried the blank page, all I get is {events_calendar} writen in the middle of it. The program doesn't seem to work on pages. If it did there wouldn't be so many people trying to figure out how to link to it. I also read the documentation which is just as cryptic as your lameo answer. Thanks for nothing...wrayski.
If you want to help come up with a more descriptive walk thru of how you got it to work. Did you create a page and embed it in the html screen. Let us know. I am kind of done with this pluggin, it is neither easy or usefull or works. Moving on, next calender plugin, please...Bye...

We don't see WPtouch active on your site at the moment so we aren't able to troubleshoot.
Assuming that your images are inserted directly in the post, they should display via WPtouch. Thumbnails in WPtouch rely upon WordPress' featured image function -- you'll need to assign a featured image to a post in order for thumbnails to display on your mobile site experience.
I am having the same problem. Some images are just showing up as colored sqaures, but I have noticed that it seems to only be the images that have no thumbnail when I click edit on them in my media library.
Let me clarify, when I open my media library, I see all my pictures, but if I click edit for the ones I don't see on the frontend of my mobile site, as if to change it's title, no thumbnail is shown. If I click "Edit Image" under where the thumbnail should be, the picture is shown, but make some change, save it, and the thumbnail is still not shown.
Does anyone know why thumbnails are not shown within the media library? If that is solved, 9/10 I think it will fix the issue of not seeing images on our mobile sites. It seems to be a common problem, but I can't seem to find an answer.
Hi addesigns,
The images you are referring to are they the post-thumbnails or images within your posts?
Does anyone know why thumbnails are not shown within the media library?
We couldn't say for sure but it doesn't seem like something WPtouch would cause. Try looking for plugin conflicts by deactivating your other plugins to see if you find the culprit.
My website is a store so it is the product images or featured image for each product that is not showing up.
Your desktop theme may be storing those images in an area of your database other than your Media Library. The free version of WPtouch does not handle such non-standard configurations but WPtouch Pro will likely be able to be customized to work with your desktop theme in order to get your product images to display in your mobile theme.
If you do decide to try WPtouch Pro, be sure to take advantage of our dedicated customer support during your 7-day trial. We'll do our best to get you up and running.
The images are being stored to my Media Library.
I installed WPTouch on my website. Everything seems to be working fine, i can see the post thumbnails too(i have disabled it anyways).
The only problem i'm facing is that the in-post images are not loading up even after waiting for like minutes. Even in the posts that have only 2-3 images i am not able to view all the images.
Please help.
Website- http://www.techhung.com
In our tests, we're seeing the same images load in both your desktop and mobile themes. If you are not seeing the same, try clearing your device cache before retesting. If the problem persists, post a specific url where the issue is happening so we can have a look.
I tried viewing it in another browser, its working like a charm now, images loading correctly. A fabulous plugin, the best mobile site one can get. Thanks for the support.
Hope we get to see a custom url for directly calling the mobile site in the next update of the plugin.
Thank You.
Recently wrote an in-depth review for WPTouch. Hope it would be helpful to others.
Thank you!
Hello there - sorry for reopening this - but images do not load when you click on the post on the front page.
Check out http://www.chypin.me
Click on any post there, the subsequent screen does not show the post images and description etc.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.
Any thoughts? anyone?

An unmanned moon probe, complete with a rover, was launched by the Soviet Union on this date in 1973.
Luna 21 was launched into space onboard a Proton rocket on January 8th, 1973. The probe also included a remote-controlled rover, Lunokhod 2.
The rover would land on the moon a week after launch. The rover, equipped with several television cameras and an array of instruments would travel across the lunar surface and return tens of thousands of photographs, as well as scientific data.
The rover's mission came to an end in early June. A third Lunokhod rover was built, but never launched. Three more Luna probes would be launched, however, as the program concluded with Luna 24.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The first detailed statewide tree count in Texas history is headed toward this conclusion: Texas is No. 2, second only to Alaska.
The Texas Forest Service said Wednesday initial results of the first inventory outside East Texas indicate that the state has 60 million acres of forest land. That ranks second to Alaska and is about 23 percent of the forestation in the southern U.S.
The state has counted trees in the Piney Woods above the Gulf Coast since the 1930s. But this is the first scientific statewide tally.
"Last one we had was some dude on a horse in like 1904, rode through there and made notes," said Burl Carraway, a forest service official.
The 10-year study is at the halfway point, but officials don't expect the numbers to change much.

Birmingham Comedy 25th January At Jongleurs Birmingham: Susan Murray, Prince Abdi, Rich Wilson
Info provided by the Event Organiser
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Susan Murray
Possibly one of the rudest women in the world today, and maybe also one of the funniest! winner of the first ever jongleurs competition and a seasoned regular on the circuit, Susan has emerged as one of the best female stand-ups around.
'She has the mentality of a spiteful 14 year old boy! Very admirable in a young lady!' (Arthur Smith)
'L like her jokes so much, I'm doing them now!' (Scott Capurro)
'Susan Murray's baffled everywoman persona cloaks a dry, intelligent wit' (Stewart Lee)
'... mainstream success written all over her... brightly energetic, a real talent'
(Edinburgh Guide)
'... a right cheeky little lass who oscillates brilliantly and wildly between characters,
accents, stories and banging the mike on her head' (Three Weeks)
'Cynicism that could fell a rhino at 1000 paces. Like it' (Al Murray)
'A feisty comedy fireball of fun' (Time Out).
Susan Murray tour dates
Prince Abdi
A relative newcomer who has the material and confidence of a full time comic. He has a lovely style in his delivery - pacy, upbeat and infectious - that makes the audience warm to him. Set pieces such as his Bollywood and Nollywood reconstruction capitalise on that energy well.
Prince Abdi tour dates
Rich Wilson
Rich Wilson has loved comedy ever since his older next door neighbour gave him a cassette of Eddie Murphy - Delirious.'It was the most mindblowing thing I'd ever heard. My young ears had never heard language like it.'
His comedy aspirations lay dormant until he got a job as a barman at a comedy club in Greenwich, South London. Then in 2004 following some back slapping by those around him, Rich Wilson hit the stage and even amazing himself, hasn't looked back since.
'Highly entertaining' (Time Out)
'Effortlessly funny, smart and filthy. Recommended' (Leicester Mercury)
'He's a very, very funny man' (Frank Skinner).

Table of Contents
ShootingsThere have been a quite a few murders that have been associated in some way to The Catcher in the Rye. The book seems to be favoured by the psychotic; the book itself doesn't cause people to have psychotic behaviour but some of the themes in the book appeal and relate to people with mind states similar to the main character, Holden Caulfield.
In 1981 John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan. Coincidentally, Hinckley's favourite book was The Catcher in the Rye as well; the police had found it along with a few other books in his room when they searched for evidence.
The Catcher in the Rye had a lot of influence on Mark David Chapman, who on December 8th 1980 killed music legend John Lennon. Chapman had issues at home when he was growing up which lead him to become very lonely and depressed. A friend of his recommended that he read The Catcher in the Rye; it quickly became his favourite book. He felt like he could identify with the main character; he even wanted to change his name to Holden Caulfield. The night he assassinated Lennon, he carried the book with him. Once he shot John four times, he proceeded to sit down and read the book until the police came to take him away. Chapman was heard quoting his favourite book at his sentencing. One of his reasons for killing John Lennon was because he thought he was a "phony" because he lived such a luxurious lifestyle while he would talk a lot about non-materialism.
Another case was Robert John Bardo who, in 1989, went to actress Rebecca Schaffer's apartment with a gun and a copy of The Catcher in the Rye. He had been stalking her for some time, and when he got to her apartment, he shot and killed her. At the time, he wasn't aware that Chapman had also carried a copy of the book with him when he committed his murder.
All these individuals had something in common - a connection with the book. They all felt they could relate to its themes, and to how the main character Holden feels.
The novel was first published in 1951. It had some popularity at first but then quickly plummeted in sales before shooting up to the top of the charts. The book rocketed to number one on the best seller list of The New York Times. Catcher In The Rye made it on the "Top Ten Most Banned Books" list. Between the years 1965 and 1975, the novel was the most banned book in high schools. Some people were so offended by the book that they burned as many copies of it as possible. In 1981 the novel was both the most censored and the second most taught. The main reasons brought up for the book being censored are: the large amount of profanity, sexual references, smoking, and underage drinking.
Even now Catcher In The Rye is still being banned form schools. The reasons remain the same except that there is more to draw off of. There have been several famous murderers that have brought negative attention to the novel, which only helps prove that the novel is a very bad influence on people (particularly teenagers) who read the book. Although there are still appeals to have the book banned today, all of the reasons are common. The novel remains on the top ten most banned books of all time and is most likely to stay there.
J.D. Salinger's Catcher In the Rye was very controversial, as the pages held numerous amounts of questionable content. It made a lot of Americans feel uncomfortable – mainly because of all the swearing, the cynicism, etc – and they tried to get the book banned. Their attempts were successful, and from 1961-1982, the book was (temporarily) banned. Some Americans felt so threatened by the book that when a teacher assigned the book to his grade eleven class in 1960, he was fired. He later got his job back, but it shows the extremes people went to to keep teens (or anyone else) from reading the book. Even in another decade, 1990-1999, the American Library Association (ALA) stated that it was the tenth most sought after book to be banned; the same was said for the years 2005 and 2009. It was found that the people who challenged the book were only aware of Holden's character; they did not actually know anything about the plot, and therefore did not understand the point of the story. This book proved to be very controversial, and it greatly impacted the modern societal views on morals.
Personal Responses
There has been much controversy surrounding J.D Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye.
- On Wiki Answers, the question is "What does the Catcher in the Rye teach teenagers?" and there were several different responses. A few talk about how it makes us realize that we aren't the first teenager to experience angst and how we can relate to Holden throughout the book. Another says how new experiences come along all the time and we just have to get used to them. One says that it teaches us that life isn't always as simple as we think it is. Another even said how it is unfair and disillusioning.
- One person thinks that Holden isn't anything special at all and thinks he is nothing but a spoiled brat. A melodramatic book that the author makes Holden seem very whiny.
- Another person suggests that Holden is the way he is because his brother died of leukemia and greatly affected his life.
- Other people mention how they think that you have to be very sensitive and artistic to be able to enjoy the book to the full extent.
- One got into the book and read only 35 pages before he had to put it away because he couldn't handle Holden's negativity
Overall Impacts On SocietyThe book influenced society from the late 1940's – 1950's mainstream conservative values because the book challenged them and broke many conventions. The book has a protagonist who is young and thinks and speaks like a typical teenager. This shocked those who had never read this language before. People were not used to reading books like this were especially impacted.
Catcher in the Rye still has an impact today, and it always will as long as there are young people who feel that they don't have a place in society. Many people relate to Holden Caulfield because he points out a lot of the negative aspects of society and his desire to protect the ones that are helpless and innocent (the children) from society's flaws. He has the same voice as anyone who has been frustrated by their helpless role in the world, which includes those who are about to enter adulthood and are terrified to death about entering the real world.
Interesting Facts
- There were over 700 hundred profanities used, and over 100 obscene uses of the word God.
- There are roughly 250,000 copies of the book sold every year, bringing the total sales close to 65 million.

I am making a WordPress theme and I brought all the code over to an index.php and style.css file in a theme folder. The problem is that the CSS code is not effecting the HTML and PHP. It looks as if it is unstyled (browser default). I checked the
<head> and it shows the link to the stylesheet.
Here is the code I used to link to the stylesheet:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
When I go to the stylesheet link, it only shows the commented area information (name, description, URI, etc), but when I go to my coding software it shows up fine. And yes, I am looking at the online version, not offline.
What could make this happen? I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!!

It's number-crunching time at Amarillo City Hall, and department heads are working with John Ward to complete the last major task of his tenure as city manager.
The staff is beginning the process of budgeting the city's expenses and revenues for fiscal year 2004-05. They'll file the proposed budget July 5, and then it will go before the Amarillo City Commission for final approval.
Ward's resignation as manager, which he said will take effect when the process is complete, makes the deadline fairly firm.
"We had targeted July 5 anyway, but we gotta hit it now," Finance Director Dean Frigo said Monday. "It's a pretty intense process."
To start with, the departments are requesting about $2.5 million more in expenses than the city will have in available revenue, Ward said. The task is to close the gap, he said.
"Departments want more money than is available," he said. "That's always the case."
Revenue projections for the upcoming fiscal year haven't been finalized yet, he said.
But Ward said they could be greater than this year when the city drew general fund revenue of $33.4 million in sales tax, $36.5 million in water and sewer fees and $20.3 million in property tax.
Ward started budget meetings with the departments last week and is expected to continue them this week and next.
For much of Monday morning, he met with the Parks and Recreation Department, which has a $6.4 million budget this year.
Parks Director Larry Offerdahl wouldn't specify whether the department was requesting more or less money for next year.
The department's goals will be to enhance customer service, improve its commitment to Public Improvement Districts, and upgrade existing parks, he said. Maintaining new acreage in the Rails to Trails park and the Greenways Park will require additional man hours.
Ward and the staff will use the budget process to decide whether parks personnel will need to be internally reassigned or externally increased to meet the department's goals, Offerdahl said.
Budget matters also surfaced during the meeting of the Amarillo Library Advisory Board on Monday, when Library Services Director Donna Littlejohn briefed the board on what the library department will request.
The department this year has a $3.1 million budget and is requesting $3.2 million for 2004-05.
The increase would be for a full year of operating the new Northwest Branch Library, Littlejohn said. She'll meet with Ward on Wednesday.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The Secret of Kells
- Studio: Gkids
- Release Date: Mar 5, 2010
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The exquisite art and fairytale ambience will win over animation fans and children alike.
A gorgeous transcription of medieval decorative art and its themes into a contemporary animated narrative, one that should enthrall children older than 8 or so, along with the adults lucky enough to watch with them.
It is only fitting that a movie concerned with the power and beauty of drawing -- the almost sacred magic of color and line -- should be so gorgeously and intricately drawn.
This wonderfully strange and exquisite little feature was created, especially for young children, to celebrate the book through another kind of illumination that's been falling into disuse--hand-drawn animation.
Teaches important lessons in the most casual, joyful way. How it manages to do that is probably the biggest secret of all.
A visually overwhelming labor of love, a hand-drawn medieval adventure tale that seeks and finds cosmic connections.
The Secret of Kells is a magical adventure unlike anything we've seen on screen before.
There's something kind of captivating about a film that's been painstakingly drawn to glorify the craft of illustration, and that's comfortable using retro techniques. Because after all, what else makes sense for bringing to life the gold and scarlet ornamentation in ancient manuscripts?
With its jewel-bright colors and intricate use of lines, the result is absolutely luscious to behold.
The movie isn't quite suitable for the extremely young, but its apocalyptic tint may be catnip for smart preteens. They'll breathe in the chilly air of a mysterious forest--the way forests should be.
Kells proves that in the increasingly high-tech world of feature animation, there still can be a place for old-time tradition.
Gorgeous work, and its imagery and themes dovetail perfectly: a story about creating art, artfully created.
The movie has a wide appeal, with a gap in the middle. I think it will appeal to children young enough to be untutored in boredom, and to anyone old enough to be drawn in, or to appreciate the artistry.
In its small, stubborn way, the film is a love letter to traditions that have endured since cave dwellers painted the walls at Lascaux.
The Secret of Kells manages to feel simultaneously old-fashioned and mesmerizingly modern,and the slight story at its center has the emotional weight of a classic fable: A boy's wild, fantastical adventure, simply told.
Regrettably, the film's story is so busy yet flat that the effect isn't magical -- it's more like watching the tale of some very enchanted wallpaper.

The Book of Kells is simply not something that mostThis movie is beautiful but suffers from a singular flaw: it doesn't really go anywhere. The Book of Kells is simply not something that most people in the world know or care about, so the climax of the movie being that the book is DONE is, well, anticlimatic. There is no closure with Ashley, there is no real resolution of mystery, and indeed overall only two characters develop, and then not enough to really feel like adequate payoff. The climax for most audiences comes in halfway, with the theft of the eye.
It's worth watching once to appreciate the artistry, but it left me unfulfilled.… Full Review »

The story itself is simple and sweet, perhaps nothing to celebrate, and set in a medieval Ireland some 1200 years ago. However, the Tartakovskian stylization of characters, the backgrounds abstracted to a nearly Byzantine flatness, and the romanticization of monastic inspiration pay great homage to the original Book of Kells.
And if you don't like all the heady intellectual stuff, it's incredible to look at, the soundtrack is totally mesmerizing, and I will sheepishly confess being moved to tears by Aisling's Song to Panger Ban. Great for the family, spooky and lovely, I'd recommend it to any one with an interest in animation, Irish lore, or art history. Check it out!

Even basic stacked cakes require interior supports to prevent tiers from shifting or getting squashed. I recommend using dowels and cardboard for cake infrastructure because it is a reliable and economical method. This article discusses how to measure, cut, and insert wood dowels into a stacked cake. There are two kinds of supports involved with this method: vertical support dowels and horizontal support dowels.
Aside: Popular alternative methods to wood dowels include the SPS System (Single Plate Separator) which is more costly. The plastic plate is unnecessary (except for cakes with elevated tiers), and the chunky columns displace an awful lot of cake so this is not my preferred method. Bubble tea straws, which work in smaller cakes (2, maybe 3 tiers) are inexpensive and easy to cut to size but are not as reliable on large cakes.
The Wood Dowel System
Items needed
- Long wood skewer/s
- Pen or marker
- Cardboard base for each cake
- White tape (optional)
- Dowels (12″ Wilton Dowel Rods or 1/2″ wood dowels)
- Saw (for smaller dowels, large pet nail clippers work great)
- Pencil sharpener (or knife for whittling)
- Sand paper
- Apple corer (for use with thick dowels only)
Cake Cardboards
Every tier of every cake should have a cardboard base beneath it that is the shape/size of the intended result (so a 7" round cake needs a 7" round cardboard). The cardboard should stay with the cake from the first moment the cake is frosted to the point when it gets served; the cake and cardboard naturally fuse together and remain as one.
Vertical Support Dowels
Dowels that are meant to support the weight of cake tier/s above are called vertical support columns. Although you can sometimes get away with using three, typically four or more dowels are needed to hold with stability. For the base tier of larger cakes, even more dowels and also thicker dowels may be necessary for stability.
For smaller 2-tiered cakes like the above body of a police car groom's cake, 1/4″ thick dowel rods are just right. The base tier with four dowels inserted are seen below.
How to Measure Vertical Support Dowels
For the bottom tiers of larger 3+ tier cakes or large sculpted cake structures like the above base tier of a 3-level ferry boat wedding cake, plan to use fatter 1/2″ wood dowels towards the center of the cake to support weight from above. Dowels of various widths can also be found at the hardware store.
Once a cake tier is fully frosted, measure its interior height in order to determine the length of interior support dowels needed. Do this on a cold but not frozen cake by inserting a long skewer dull-side-down all the way through the cake vertically until it hits the cardboard base. With a pen, mark the skewer at the point where it meets the cake's surface. Then pull out the skewer and use it to measure the dowels for cutting.
Use the skewer's mark minus 1/8" (3 mm) to determine what length to cut dowels. The reason for shaving some length off of the dowels is that cake invariably gets compressed under dowels, which raises them up a hair. Also, it's better for interior supports to sit just below a cake's surface. If one or more dowels protrudes above the cake's surface, the next tier won't sit level, which can compromise structural integrity.
How to Cut Wood Dowels
For larger projects, use a saw. When using a saw, first secure the dowels together with electrical tape so that their ends are flush. Then mark and cut them all at once with the saw.
How to Insert Wood Dowels into a Cake
Horizontal Support Dowels
When inserting long pointed dowels through tiers, press slowly but firmly with two thumbs. Once you hit the cardboard, tap the end of the dowel lightly with a hammer to help it pass through the cardboard cake base. It helps to insert dowel infrastructure into a cake when it's not too cold (right after frosting is a good time) because then the surface is more elastic. A fully chilled cake, on the other hand is more prone to cracking.
When dropping off stacked cakes at weddings or catered events, try to find the person who is supposed to cut the cake so you can describe to them how it's built and where the dowels are located.

I have a program i frequently use that is made with .NET. This program has a small bug that is very annoying and the developer to the app is nowhere to be found.
I have found the location of the problem in reflector and just want to add a single if-statement here and then recompile the program.
What is the easiest way to do this?
I have tried using the export-function in reflector but it doesn't seem to work perfectly. For example alot of using-directives are missing and enums that are cast back and forth to ints are also not exported properly. I believe i can fix this with some work but i'm wondering if there are any easier way to do this.
Update: Solved it by doing this:
The program is a single file executable
- Find the bug in reflector with C#-view. Then switch to IL-view to see what you should look for in step 5.
- Open the program you want to change with ildasm
- Press dump and select an empty folder, default settings worked for me.
- Find the .il file in this folder and open with any texteditor
- Find the code from step 1.
- Replace it with new code, in my case i just had to replace all the contents of a function with a simple return (IL_0000: ret). I don't think all fixes will be this easy.
- Open a commandwindow in the folder from step 3
- Run ilasm, i also had to include some resources from the original exe. These are automatically output with ildasm. I used this ilasm like this "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ilasm.exe" test.il /resource=test.res /output=FixedProgram.exe
Done! I've only used the fixed program some minutes right now but it seems to work just like before except for the bug :)
I also ran into some problems with the application settings. In %appdata%\ProgramName there was a folder called something like *ProgramName.exe_Url_qa5i3p42aomuvoxpuxuficvbmngksgjs* where all settings are stored. My new executable created a new folder like this with different random letters at the end and with the default settings. To copy the settings you used before just copy all the contents of the old folder to the new one.
