Reed and his teammate Nathan Ramsey are racing for a new title sponsor, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, some of whom were on hand to watch their team take the first round. They certainly got the right introduction to supercross! Chad Reed was all smiles on the podium Reed didn't back down to Stewart's challenges Reed is off to a great start in the 2007 Amp'd Mobile WSXGP season
Racer X spent a few minutes with Chad just before he left the Toronto press conference to go celebrate to see what he had to say about his return to racing, his win, and his new surroundings.
Racer X: Chad, how have you been, haven't seen you in a while?
Chad Reed: [Laughs] I have been hiding. No, I have been in Australia, hanging out.
What chance did you give yourself to win this race tonight?
I didn't come here wanting to lose or thinking I was going to lose, but I didn't come here with the attitude that if I didn't win, my heart was going to be broken. I think that was the difference. I just wanted to ride strong and ride to the end and battle with those guys, and not ride around in third or worse by myself. It was fun to have a battle.
How did you find the new format using qualifying practice and what did you think when you were fourth in time?
When I think about fourth in lap times I was a little disappointed. I thought at worst I would be third. I have been around Villy (David Vuillemin) a lot and I know that that guy can ride a motorcycle, and for one lap he is unbelievable. I think we are going to see him up there (in lap times) all year. James, Ricky, myself and Villy were all close. But I liked it. It brings a little bit of intensity to practice. It's more that just going out to get the track down; you really have to be on your toes and be fast or you get a bad gate pick.
How did the main event start for you?
It started great. I got to the first turn almost first, I think. I came in a little hot and Nick Wey got by me. Ricky was on the inside as well. I was third or something like that. I knew Ricky was going to go to the front so I was just trying to go to the front with him. When he was trying to set Nick up, it gave me the opportunity to get by both of them. I tried to put solid laps together.
I was expecting to go 20 laps with Ricky. One thing I have to say is Ricky is a bad dude. He's a champ. You can race with him and have so much fun. You can rub, you can not feel that you have to watch him, he's not stupid. He has been around a long time and he is not going to put you in danger or himself. We have had some battles but these past two years I really haven't been a threat to him for a title. It's neat he will be around for a few races—I want to battle with him and have some fun. He has put me through hell for two years! He has taught me a lot and given me a lot of motivation.
Moving up a few laps in the main, now you are battling with James.
James was there around halfway. I was making a few mistakes but I felt like I was solid. It's not like he was eating me up. He was chipping away a little bit and we kind of stayed the same. Once he got on me, he made a pretty aggressive move on me after the finish line. It scared the crap out of me. I was exiting wide open and the next thing you know I see a big #7 out of my right eye and I didn't enjoy that too much. It kind of fired me up a little bit. Whenever he came back at me, I was going back at him. I wasn't going to let him have it.
That table-to-table just before the finish, you guys got pretty close over there a few times. Was that clean racing?
Yeah, it was. I didn't end up on the ground or on the hay bales. That comes from a little bit of experience too, knowing what the riders are going to do, and who the rider is and all that stuff. We all know where we stand with James: He is going to be aggressive and wants to win. You give him one thing and he gives it back.
It was a shame he crashed. He jumped on the brakes as I was trying to get up the right side. He is smart. He knew I was trying to do that and I ran right into the back of him. He shot off to the left. It was a scary situation. I was going like 'Dude, don't go into incoming traffic on that triple.'
What's it like on the new team and what's it like working with Larry Brooks, who organized something similar with McGrath before?
Larry is an awesome guy. He is a racer at heart. He understands us. He understands that we are people first, and not some robot where you press the button and go and do these things. I think just having that in common—and he just puts a lot of effort into the team—all the guys in the team love the guy. They work hard because they love their job. We all get along good and we have fun. We spent some time in Florida hanging out at my house. It's been a ball so far. This is a great reward for them but we know there is a whole lot more than this weekend. We are not getting cocky or over confident. It's a long season. We are ahead of schedule. Next weekend we are going to do what we did this weekend.
Your new sponsor, the Sam Manuel Band of Mission Indians, the reps were here and seemed to really enjoy it. How did you connect with them?
Larry brought that deal to the table and it turned out to be a lot of fun. It's not a money deal where its "Hey, we are a casino and we have a bunch of money and we are going to sponsor a race team because we can…." There is a whole lot more to it. They have the same motto in life as I have. I didn't grow up with a lot. I grew up wanting to become the best I could. I chose motorcycles that were going to take me and give me a life. They are about that. They support all that stuff. They have a lot of kids in their tribe and they have a lot of motorcycles. They are building a facility for them to ride on. They are some crazy dudes. They ride around with no helmets, no gear, and on the roads and that kind of stuff. Hopefully Nathan and myself and the whole L&M team can bring some knowledge to them and say that's not a good way to do it and help them out.
Okay, I better let you go celebrate, see you next weekend.
Thanks Steve.

By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL
NEW YORK — Sure, her job involves parading in lacy underwear and her husband is a rock star. But Lily Aldridgesays she does the same things on a given day as millions of other women: She fed her baby daughter, talked to her mom on the phone, kissed her husband before she left for work.
Aldridge says her work on the Victoria's Secret runway is a job — a good, fun one that she loves and that introduces her to stars like Rihanna, Justin Bieber and the Black Eyed Peas — and she's realistic that it won't last forever.
More important than enjoying the moment with a jet-set lifestyle is putting down roots, and Aldridge says she works hard at doing that, spending as much time as possible with her family in their homes in Nashville and New York. (Her husband is Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill, so that's not totally normal, but Aldridge rolls with it.)
The California native has been a Victoria's Secret model since 2009, and she also has walked the runway for Rag & Bone and Giles Deacon and appeared in ads for Coach, Clinque and Anthropologie. She was first spotted by a scout at a school carnival, and two of her sisters are also models.

Before this interview, she was pondering which sweet potato recipe to make for the holidays, and she made a dash for Starbucks coffee. She even skipped her workout; it was just one of those busy days where something had to go.
She can do that now — and, on occasion, for the next few months — because the Victoria's Secret show for 2012 is behind her. The show was taped last month to be shown on CBS on Tuesday.

"It will go so fast. It seems we're months in preparation for the next one. … It takes two months to be `show ready,'" she explains. "And show ready means knowing there is no Photoshop."
No problem. Aldridge, 27, came to this year's catwalk primed — and pumped — to wear outfits including a tiny blue bra, itty bitty gold bikini bottoms, flag-inspired wings and a jetpack that shot silver sparkles. There's always a big viewing party for the models, Aldridge says, and she looks forward to it. There isn't the competitive vibe you might expect, she adds.
"The first Victoria's Secret model I ever met was Adriana Lima, and she was so nice to me. She was very generous and very nurturing. She made sure people talked to me!" Aldridge says.

Aldridge answered a few more questions for The Associated Press before going out to meet and greet holiday shoppers at Victoria's Secret new Manhattan flagship at Herald Square.
— Best perk: Professional hair and makeup artists, hands down.
— Must-have item: Comfy sweatpants.
— Kitchen essentials: Olive oil, balsamic vinegar and Le Creuset pots.
— Describe your first Victoria's Secret show: "Jell-O legs."
— Most popular questions from fans: Workout routine (ballet and pilates, which she can do at home between Dixie's naps), beauty routine (as little makeup as possible) and what it's like to be on the runway in underwear (she's fine as long as she looks at the camera, not the audience).
— Tip for anyone who might — just might — get a modeling gig: "Walk slowly so you get your moment."

text: The Highlight Reel From This Women's Motocross Event Contains The Saddest Highlights Of All TimeEmma Carmichael8/01/11 3:55pmFiled to: X GamesMotocrossWomen's motocrossExtreme SportsEnduro xNewsFb40EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkLet's go ahead and ignore the slew of kitchen jokes that everyone has already made over on YouTube and admit that we have never attempted to ride on a motocross course, let alone in the "Moto Enduro X," the new X-Games event that struggled its way to completion last night in Los Angeles. For all we know, then, the Moto Enduro X is tremendously difficult and particularly susceptible to gravity. For most of us, it is uncharted territory, and thus difficult to critique. Okay? Good. AdvertisementNow that we've done that, we can admit that the proclaimed "highlights" to last night's event are nothing like highlights at all, but more of an absurd tragicomic collection of crashes, falls, splashes, and total, abject failure. It seems the Enduro X may even be uncharted territory for those who elected to compete in it. The L.A. Times is similarly unsympathetic on this matter:The effort in the Women's Moto X Enduro X race fell far short of Olympian, as more than half the seven racers fell off their motorcycles at some point in the six-lap race. Some of them fell off multiple times.Maria Forsberg managed to stay on her bike throughout the treacherous course, complete with tires, rock pits, a pile of split lumber, log paths, fallen trees and a water pit. Thanks to that consistency, Forsberg claimed a gold medal.Tarah Gieger overcame a fall in the first 100 feet of the race to take silver.We're just glad that no one fell victim to the fire pit on the seventh turn. Cheers, Forsberg. You sure earned it.AdvertisementX Games: Women's Enduro X brings falls and a Forsberg gold [LA Times]Reply40 repliesLeave a reply

I'm after a cheap, or a free slab serif. with open counters, low contrast, a good x-height making it very legible for academia. A neutral look, with understated curves. Preferably with Light, Regular, and Bold styles.
I'm after a cheap, or a free slab serif. with open counters, low contrast, a good x-height making it very legible for academia. A neutral look, with understated curves. Preferably with Light, Regular, and Bold styles.
Do you want to set body text with the slab-serif? And which kind of slab do you mean? One with some stroke contrast and bracketed serifs (Clarendonish) or one with almost no stroke contrast and square, abrupt serifs (Rockwellish)?
Yeah I pretty sure I'm after a rockwellish type, I'm not particularly fond of brackets, but then I don't want slabs the size of anvils.
I'll have a gander at what's been mentioned.
Arvo is freely available, but lacks a Light. It's a Rockwellian slabbie and its italics are slightly wider than the uprights.
I think Bitstream Vera is classified as a slabbie, hence so are its derivatives (like DejaVu).
Computer Modern Concrete... boy, do the snobs like to turn up their noses (and middle fingers) at the CMs.
You don't have to be a snob to turn your nose up at Computer Modern, you just need to have the slightest sense of smell.
BTW why is Arvo's Italic wider? If you can make an Italic wider you can probably also make it uniwidth, which increases functionality (not to mention makes it less ugly).
What's wrong with this one?
Personally, I think that the overall family is brilliant in concept and execution. I only wish that I had thought of it first. But I didn't: Jos Buivenga did.
Hey: I think I just answered my eBook font recommendation question myself…
Hi oldnick,
To my eyes it's horrid, too curvy. It's quite feminine. Don't like the r, k, and g. It feels rather geometric. I also don't like the bilateral slabs. I suppose the feeling I'm after is mechanical.
Maybe I should settle for Grotesk, or a Neo-Grotesk Sans. I think I'm far too picky at times with slabs. I like Helvetica, but I really dislike the upper-case R in Helvetica, especially in italics. Akkidenz-Grotesk is pretty good. FF meta deserves a special mention for it's curves, very organic.
I like Frutiger's r but not their a, and q.
Horrid? Too curvy? What: you don't like girls?
Maybe you should "settle" for a grotesque? Well, since Msueo Sans would undoubtedly be out of the question, I recommend that you go with Akzidenz Grotesk BQ…
That $975 price tag ought to impress your boyfriend…
Naaah: just kidding. Perhaps you should read this thread:
Old nick - Certainly I like women. However for I've been through a variety of Serifs. I have Adelle basic at the moment for a slab serif. It's pretty good. The shape of the bilateral slabs, I like a lot. The beak of c, and r are very nice indeed.
I just wanted to get more variety.
I prefer the grotesk types in sans because I am obsessed about the ear, link, and loops of the lower case g. Lastly call it snobbery, or you can call it Autism.
Thank you for taking the time though to reply. I sincerely appreciate it.
Lastly call it snobbery, or you can call it Autism.
Probably, "anal retentiveness" would be more accurate…
@hrant – I think you'll have to ask Arvo's maker about the italics' width.
@Sahson – If you have some old office pack CDs, these may be a source of fonts. I got a few weights of Lubalin Graph that way. Well, Bitstream's Geometric Slabserif 761, anyway.
If you could get him over here more people might benefit from the answer.
If it's just the uppercase R in Helvetica that bugs you, that's been remedied: http://www.fontbureau.com/NHG/features/#stylistic_alternates
Actually, the uppercase R problem was "remedied" long before Haas took it upon themselves to refashion a more fashionable (and semi-ubiquitous, for a time) grotesque typeface. Or, is the trade name Helvetica required in some U.S. Supreme Court ruling, as is the typeface Century, of itself and under its Bitstream/Monotype variants?
Does the German equivalent of our Supreme Court dictate font choice for briefs filed with the court? As a person with a solid half-German bloodline, I somehow doubt it…
I have no idea what you are talking about Oldnick, and please don't elucidate. Just wanted to let Sahson know that there is an alt R, and long has been.
So how come oldnick doesn't even get any flack for this kind of aggressive behavior towards somebody who dares to (1) ask questions, (2) have a personal opinion, and (3) not be entirely sure yet what he needs? This is the kind of thread that makes me not want to check back into Typophile, ever.
@Sahson: It's maybe old news to you but I thought I'd mention Museo has a "Museo Slab" companion too that isn't quite as curvy. Shares the overall shapes of Museo though so probably not your cup of tea.
I think you have a great one with Adelle. I can potentially think of a few more but they're all in the ~$40-per-style range. Does that qualify as "cheap" for you?
Also, you might hate it, but I thought I'd mention Bree Serif is free: http://www.type-together.com/index.php?action=portal/viewContent&cntId_c...
Nina, note that you just gave him some flak.
"Be the change that you wish to see in the world."
I know. But I'm not here a lot.
That's a shame - we need a woman's touch!
Call up Jessica Hische.
She did once take up my invitation to this
but I suspect this place isn't her thang.

Out in Germany, they've really taken it to heart, and have made fabric gadget cases that look like they're constructed out of every gentile's favorite pork product. The Bacon Case seems to come in different sizes, at least one of which can fit the iPhone, and is selling for 25 Euro.

… another shell / aka.shell question :)
Hello all, it's been a while since I've used Max.
I'm trying to run a SoX command from Max via the [shell] or [aka.shell] objects, but with no success. If I run this straight in Terminal:
cd Desktop
sox test.wav test.aiff
… as expected a new aiff is created on my desktop, from the wav of the same name.
But running that exact text via [shell] or [aka.shell] does absolutely nothing. [aka.shell] politely prints out all the details about SoX to the Max window, but all I get from [shell] is a bang message.
Am I neglecting to include something in the message I'm sending from Max? I'm a bit stumped because the objects' help files don't have any extra info, leading me to believe this should be really straight-forward.
cheers for the help :)
(SoX is a command-line utility for various types of conversion of audio files – http://sox.sourceforge.net/)
Hi there, multiple sequential commands in the shell object need to be separated by ;
Here's an example with cd and ls.
-- Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. --Copy all of the following text. Then, in Max, select New From Clipboard.----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 327.3ocqSE0SCBCD94xuhl9LNokoYpOYh+KbKlBbtUS4JgVhSWl+1EJP1lNx XY6Etzu63tuuudcS.gkXVCVF8Q5qTBYS.g3gZ.HcmIrb45Tsz5KikCVqbIvB ay4f0NOdZF8maewjVkCnyNe9STssuHUluDSxG2D2i8tAcnLG7YdtTI08Yvpb EpAmedhNvBoKckBW9VIj5Z4qf+vjnPJeZafeuOLaRDcwtNYpb8shu2jspu8S lKp+oV31JceU.ssmwnKZxrMHn4S3H8GD9rVm+ydJJUn6H9g3L8C9I8CQbbSH dp+Pzf1Qz.1w0Sy1UfVeDMyu5ZlOS307cmPyhycEHjxRj3xCWE7MmoU3ee43 IXC9gdk0TUl12xtGAzcTLCrNEJcJCtWM7CpYkJKCv8u1xUYEl5cpNJLvt5XY DeDLRbALp9v1feQ4xVP2 -----------end_max5_patcher-----------Cheers.
Cheers, that's just the ticket :)
now I just have to remember how to format text strings with spaces in specific places :-/ … that's always irked me :)
… and how to extract compatible directories from a folderpath :-o … need to find those regexp tutorials again
You don't have any idea why:
cd ~/Desktop; sox AltoSax.wav AltoSax_44100.wav rate -s 44100
cd ~/Desktop/Test; sox AltoSax.wav AltoSax_44100.wav rate -s 44100
would work while:
cd ~/Untitled:/Users/Tim_Lloyd/Desktop/Test; sox AltoSax.wav AltoSax_44100.wav rate -s 44100
cd Untitled:/Users/Tim_Lloyd/Desktop/Test; sox AltoSax.wav AltoSax_44100.wav rate -s 44100
cd ~Untitled:/Users/Tim_Lloyd/Desktop/Test; sox AltoSax.wav AltoSax_44100.wav rate -s 44100
cd /Untitled:/Users/Tim_Lloyd/Desktop/Test; sox AltoSax.wav AltoSax_44100.wav rate -s 44100
cd :/Users/Tim_Lloyd/Desktop/Test; sox AltoSax.wav AltoSax_44100.wav rate -s 44100
This current directory thing in Terminal is confusing, and it's very hard to know where one is going wrong when there isn't any feedback apart from no new file being created :p
When I have a chance to sit in front of my computer again I could send you a lot of info about formatting but check the forums or even my profile for posts and you'll find a bunch of shell/space related questions.
Is your main volume really called untitled? By default it should be Macintosh HD:/Users/username/Desktop/thing.wav
By the way, most commands have a -v tag (verbose) meaning if it fails to copy it'll print out why if you have print hooked up to stderr out.
… nearly got something working … but why, whyyyyyy do sequential commands need to be separated by a *backslash*; of all things :-o … it's so irritating trying to deal with via [sprintf] and/or [combine] …
I am also a bit stuck with shell formatting.
I have very little experience using Terminal. I would like to send Terminal a message from Max MSP telling it to open a vqs file using a hidden Command Interface application (hidden meaning no GUI). My objective here is to use Terminal to communicate with a Datapath X4 unit – a box which splits the image on my MacBook Pro from multiple screens
If I type this into Terminal it works as I want it to:
cd Documents/DatapathFiles
vqscmd -ConFigfile=tamquarter.vqs -DeviceNumber=0
But I am not sure how to format this through shell.
Just wondering if you were successful using the datapath x4 from your MBP. Any information appreciated!

Oh lordy. The Spanish sovereign is being propped up by its own defunct banks. Which get the money to do the propping up from the ECB (re: Germany). That'll go over well in Berlin once it's fully understood.

Personhood Advocates Pledge to Try Again in Mississippi
Advocates of "personhood" for zygotes have decided that if at first you don't succeed in banning all abortions, try again. And again, and again.
The anti-abortion group Personhood USA tried to pass a ballot measure granting fertilized eggs the same rights as adult humans in Colorado in 2008, and it failed. They tried again in Colorado in 2010, and it failed again, this time by a 3-to-1 margin. So then they tried in Mississippi in November 2011, where it lost yet again, with 58 percent of the voters even in this conservative state rejecting it.
So, the only logical next step for them, it appears, is to try again in Mississippi. On Tuesday, the group's Mississippi chapter announced that it is working to get personhood back on the ballot. The Associated Press reports that the group filed paperwork with the secretary of state's office on Tuesday in hopes of getting it on the 2015 ballot:
After a ballot title and summary are prepared by the attorney general's office, the initiative's sponsors would have one year to gather at least 107,216 signatures to get the measure on the ballot. That means the earliest likely date for a vote would be in November 2015, coinciding with the next governor's election.
Mississippi only has one abortion clinic—which we reported on in a story and photo essay recently—that could be shut down in the next few weeks due to a new state law requiring the doctors there to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. So even without a "personhood" amendment making all abortion illegal, the state could be on its way to making abortion totally inaccessible for women living there anyway.
Reproductive rights groups reacted immediately to the news that the "personhood" folks were back at it. "Mississippi voters have already spoken: Health care decisions should be left to a woman, her family, her doctor, and her faith—not politicians," said Felicia Brown-Williams, director of public policy at Planned Parenthood Southeast in a statement. "Mississippians expect real solutions to the real crises facing our state–not government intrusion into private medical decisions."

In this article, I will talk about profiles with images. The best way to personalize your web application is through profiles, and ASP.NET provides lot of out of the box features to implement them. We all agree that an application with images looks better than an application with just plain text, and we need to store the images of users to make our web application more appealing and user friendly.
This is what I am trying to achieve.
Isn't that easy? I achieve all this through Profiles. And, the best part is that I do all this with less than 20 lines of code.
In this article, I will directly go into Profiles without talking about Forms Authentication, Membership, Authorization etc. I hope you find some good books and good online resources for those because there are many available.
Implementing Profiles is very straightforward; you just have to add a few lines in your web.config.
Here is my Profile Provider in the Web.Config of my application:
<profile defaultProvider="TestPofileProvider" automaticSaveEnabled="false" enabled="true"> <providers> <clear/> <add name="TestProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" connectionStringName="MembershipConnectionString" applicationName="EffortTracker"/> </providers> <properties> <add name="FirstName" type="String"/> <add name ="LastName" type="String"/> <add name="DateOfBirth" type="DateTime"/> <add name="Avatar" type="String"/> <add name="ProjectName" type="String" /> </properties> </profile>
connectionStringName is the name of the connection string that connects to the "aspnetdb" fatabase, which has all the tables related to roles, users and profiles etc.
Properties is the list of all the properties you want to remember for a user. I would like my application to remember the user's first name, last name, date of birth, avatar (which is the image of the user) and the project name. type denotes the data type. You must be wondering why I set the data type of the image property as String. It has to be something like System.Drawing.Bitmap, isn't it? I will clarify that in the coming section. You can add any property and any number of properties you want.
In this section, I will tell you how to create Profiles in the code-behind. Creating Profiles is very straightforward, and takes only a few lines of code.
ProfileBase p1 = ProfileBase.Create("test"); //here test is the UserName p1.SetPropertyValue("FirstName", "test"); p1.SetPropertyValue("LastName", "user"); p1.SetPropertyValue("DateOfBirth", Convert.ToDateTime("12/08/1985")); p1.SetPropertyValue("Avatar", "Images/user.jpg"); p1.SetPropertyValue("ProjectName", "Test-Project"); p1.Save();
If you are using a website instead of a web application, then you will get a strongly typed object called Profile (which denotes the Profile of the user logged in). You can set the values directly, like:
Profile.FirstName = "test"; Profile.LastName = "user";
I am using a web application, and that's why I had to set the property like p1.SetPropertyValue("FirstName", "test");, which is a little messy, but it works.
p1.SetPropertyValue("FirstName", "test");
Now I think it must be clear how the Avatar data type is a String, instead of a Bitmap. Actually, I store the path of the images in the database, instead of directly storing the image as binary. By using this technique, you can save yourself a lot of coding and a lot of time. I created a folder called "Images" in my web application directory, which will store all my images.
I have created an ASPX page called Home, which will be the landing page for my application. In this page, there will be an ImageButton which will show the image of the user who is logged in and also will allow the user to change the image (avatar), and that's why I have chosen an ImageButton.
This is the ASPX markup:
  <title></title>   <form id="form1" runat="server">

  	  <asp:ImageButton ID="ProfileImage" runat="server" BorderWidth="1px" Height="100px" Width="100px" BorderStyle="Outset" />

 <asp:Panel ID="modalPanel" runat="server" Visible="true" BackColor="CadetBlue" Width="250px" BorderWidth="1px" BorderStyle="Outset" ScrollBars="Auto">

 Change Avatar

  <asp:DataList ID="AvatarView" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Vertical" RepeatLayout="Flow" RepeatColumns="3" CellSpacing="2" ItemStyle-BorderWidth="1px" ItemStyle-BorderStyle="Groove"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("Name","~\\Images\\{0}") %>' Height="50px" Width="50px" onclick="ImageButton1_Click1" ToolTip='<%# Eval("Name") %>' /> </ItemTemplate> </asp:DataList>

 </asp:Panel> <cc1:ModalPopupExtender ID="ModalPopupExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="ProfileImage" PopupControlID="modalPanel"></cc1:ModalPopupExtender>
 </form>
As you can see from the ASPX page, I have an ImageButton named ProfileImage which will show the image and allow the user to change the image. I also have a ModalPopupExtender AJAX control which will open up a popup with all the images that are available in my Images folder (which I was referring to earlier). I have used a DataList to show all the images in that folder, and each item in the DataList is an ImageButton which causes a postback so that the path of the new avatar is updated in the Profile database.
The DataList shows all the images that are there in the Images folder. Here is how I populate my DataList. I get all the files from the directory "Images" using the DirectoryInfo class of System.IO.
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("Images")); AvatarView.DataSource = dir.GetFiles(); AvatarView.DataBind();
Here is the ASPX mark up of my DataList named AvatarView:
<asp:DataList ID="AvatarView" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Vertical" RepeatLayout="Flow" RepeatColumns="3" CellSpacing="2" ItemStyle-BorderWidth="1px" ItemStyle-BorderStyle="Groove"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("Name","~\\Images\\{0}") %>' Height="50px" Width="50px" onclick="ImageButton1_Click1" ToolTip='<%# Eval("Name") %>' /> </ItemTemplate> </asp:DataList>
In the ItemTemplate, I use an ImageButton to show each image. I map the ImageUrl of the ImageButton to the Name property of the FileInfo object which dir.GetFiles() returns.
Here is the code to update your Profile:
protected void ImageButton1_Click1(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e { ImageButton newAvatar = (ImageButton)sender; HttpContext.Current.Profile.SetPropertyValue("Avatar", newAvatar.ImageUrl); HttpContext.Current.Profile.Save(); ProfileImage.ImageUrl = HttpContext.Current.Profile["Avatar"].ToString(); Server.Transfer("Home.aspx"); }
Each button is wired to a Click event; if you click on any ImageButton in the DataList, the above event fires and it changes the Avatar property of your Profile and reloads the page so that you can see the changes.
Now, if you were to implement all this without using Forms Authentication, it would have taken a hell of a lot of time, but thanks to Forms Authentication, I was able to do this in two hours. And also, this is just the tip of the iceberg; there is so much you can do, and it all depends on your imagination, and I would say: "sky is the limit".

Scientists use Nature against Nature to develop an antibiotic with reduced resistance
Scientists at Rockefeller University and Astex Pharmaceuticals have discovered a new broad range antibiotic that kills a wide range of bacteria, including drug-resistant Staphylococcus (MRSA) bacteria that do not respond to traditional drugs, in mice. The antibiotic, Epimerox, targets weaknesses in bacteria that have long been exploited by viruses that attack them, known as phage.
Viral protein is an effective preventative against infection
For parents, eight million cases of acute middle-ear infections every year add up to a lot of sleepless nights and trips to the pediatrician. But new research suggests that a lysin – a protein derived from viruses that infect bacteria – may prevent children from developing secondary ear infections. More »

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
In the days before DVDs and Netflix, some of us can remember anxiously waiting on Saturday evenings leading up to the holidays for the Charlie Brown TV specials at Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. After the premiere of A Charlie Brown Christmas on December 9, 1965, our understanding of Christmas may forever be intertwined with Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and Snoopy.
Nearly 50 years later, the brilliance of Charles Schultz, Charlie Brown's creator, still shines through because the heart of the show is so poignant today – everyone just needs some love, especially at the holidays.
Sent to buy a Christmas tree for the school pageant, a hapless Charlie Brown walks through a tree lot filled with large, brightly colored, and boisterously adorned trees. Passing by all the elaborate, gaudy trees, he picks out a pathetic little one with scarcely three branches. Not surprisingly, the Peanuts gang laughs at him until Charlie Brown throws down his megaphone and asks if anyone knows the real meaning of Christmas. Linus then explains the true meaning of Christmas, as told to us in Luke 2:8.
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For until you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will toward men."
The good tidings of great joy passage reminds every one of the Peanuts gang that the sad little tree, like all of us, just needs some love.
Every year our gripes about how Christmas has become over-commercialized seem to dominate conversation and how Jesus has been slowly taking a back seat to gift giving. Charlie Brown asked that question nearly 50 years ago and another famous character, the Grinch, told us, "Maybe Christmas isn't something that comes from a store."
But as Charlie Brown learns, Christmas is what we make of it.
The story of Christmas itself provides us with the gestures of generosity and thankfulness and reminds us that what is most important are the people in our lives, people who need our love, not just our gifts.
At the heart of all the excitement surrounding Christmas each year there should be the desire to do good deeds for others, which may take the form of gifts from big box retailers while other times those gifts may come straight from the heart and hands of the giver.
Christmas celebrates a birth and a beginning, promising so much more than life usually yields.
The true meaning of Christmas, as Linus reminds us, is always there. Sometimes we just have to be reminded.
Charles Schultz got it right when he said, "Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone."

Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes.
The image-rendering
CSS property provides a hint to the user agent about how to handle its image rendering. It applies to any images appearing on the element properties, but has no effect on non-scaled images.. For example, if the natural size of the image is 100×100px but the page author specifies the dimensions to 200×200px
(or 50×50px
), then the image will be upscaled (or downscaled) to the new dimensions using the specified algorithm. Scaling may also apply due to user interaction (zooming).
- Initial value
- Applies to all elements
- Inherited yes
- Media
- Computed value as specified
- Animatable no
- Canonical order the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar
Formal syntax: auto | crisp-edges | pixelated
image-rendering: auto image-rendering: crisp-edges image-rendering: pixelated image-rendering: inherit
- Default value, the image should be scaled with an algorithm that maximizes the appearance of the image. In particular, scaling algorithms that "smooth" colors are acceptable, such as bilinear interpolation. This is intended for images such as photos. Since version 1.9 (Firefox 3.0), Gecko uses bilinear resampling (high quality).
- The image must be scaled with an algorithm that preserves contrast and edges in the image, and which does not smooth colors or introduce blur to the image in the process. This is intended for images such as pixel art.
- When scaling the image up, the "nearest neighbor" or similar algorithm must be used, so that the image appears to be simply composed of very large pixels. When scaling down, this is the same as 'auto'.

Health Access says millions of Californians will stay uninsured next year. They include undocumented immigrants, people who have missed enrollment deadlines, or others who are excluded from the mandate to buy insurance. Anthony Wright of Health Access says there's a patchwork system of care for them.
"A family with the same circumstances in different counties will have potentially different access to care and to coverage as a result of their income or immigration status," said Wright.
But Wright says the problem isn't necessarily the variation, it's the lack of uniform basic care.
"Someone who doesn't have access to basic safety net coverage can find themselves with delayed or denied care would have significant health consequences," said Wright.
California counties are required to provide health care to the uninsured.
Wright says right now the local governments are making funding decisions about the level of care they will provide.

Difference between revisions of "Lithuanian phrasebook"
Revision as of 20:31, 15 May 2014Lithuanian is the official language of Lithuania and is spoken by about 4 million native speakers. The language belongs to the Baltic branch of the Indo-European family. Researchers of Indo-European languages say Lithuanian is the most archaic of all the living Indo-European tongues. In this respect it compares to the earliest Indo-European texts written 2500-3000 years ago. The Commission of the Lithuanian Language is the official regulating organization of the language. ContentsPronunciation guideStressStress in Lithuanian is not fixed; the stress can fall almost anywhere on any word. If you want to get the stress on the right syllable, the best way is to learn it word by word. When speaking Lithuanian, you won't be able to guess which word to stress either, you can only learn by experience, but you will still be understood, even if you get it wrong. It's important to try to stress the right one because not only may the exact meaning of the word vary depending on which syllable is stressed, but there may be identically spelled words with totally different meaning which depends on different stress. There are three types of stress tone: one short and two prolonged (acute and circumflex). This part is rather difficult even for native Lithuanians, therefore, for the sake of simplicity, in this phrasebook only the stressed syllable is typed in caps, the tone is not indicated. VowelsIn the Lithuanian vowels, you shall find both long and short vowel sounds.
Common digraphs
Not actual digraphs
GrammarUnless you intend to seriously study the language, learning Lithuanian grammar on your trip is not realistic. Some general tips and short explanations presented below can be of useful service. The second person pronoun jūs is the plural of tu and is also used, as in French, for polite address to one person. Nouns have two genders: some nouns are masculine, some feminine. Almost all nouns have singular and plural numbers, but there are some exceptions. Nouns have seven cases. Cases are made not by adding preposition but by modifying the ending. Prepositions are used in addition when and if needed. Adjectives have six cases, same adjective can be both masculine and feminine, singular and plural. Cases and genders are made by modifying the ending. Lithuanian verb infinite form has the ending -ti. Verbs have four tenses:
Participles can be both masculine and feminine, singular and plural; have six cases and four or three tenses, depending on type. There are 13 types of Lithuanian participles. SyntaxLithuanian language has the free word order. Same sentence can be said or written in many ways; the same word order may have different meanings if the stress falls on different words. Lithuanian language is very playful. The formal word order is subject–verb–object, but practically the order depends on what and how the speaker wants to say. Certain other rules of the word order exist, some rules are quite strict but at the same time they have a certain degree of flexibility, there almost are no matches in the English language. Phrase listBasics
Clock time
Writing time and date
For instance: Half past two. - Pusė trijų. (Half (un)til three.) (PUh-sehh trih-YOU)
Colours(translation is given in feminine gender, nominative, sing.; for masculine gender, nominative, sing. one must add the "s" at the end)
Buying Tickets
Bus and train
1. city transport: in bigger cities there are also buses running by electricity, called "troleibusas". Same rules as for regular buses apply and the tickets are the same, just you have to remember that the route networks for those two kinds of vehicles are separate, as well as schedules and route (line) numbering. 2. international transport tickets: destinations are written in original language and not in English, so the ticket to Warsaw will read Warszawa. Directions
Please note: In bigger Lithuanian cities there are so called "route-taxis" or "micro-buses" going in, they will stop to take you from the street if you wave your hand. The price is the same wherever you go, it is a lot cheaper than going by taxi and slightly more expensive than traveling by city bus. The disadvantage for non-Lithuanian speakers is that you must tell the driver when you want to get off just before the stop of a regular bus, i.e. you also have to recognize the place where you want to get off at. Lodging
Please note: you won't be able to pay in dollars, pounds or euros, use an ATM or go to the bank; there is no exchange offices. Credit cards will be accepted in most of the stores. Eating
Please note: the following first versions refers to the ending of the sentences, while the second ones - how they would look like in the menu

Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley bans dissident Austrian priest from speaking at Catholic parish in Dedham
Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley is banning a dissident Austrian priest from speaking at a parish in Dedham, prompting a coalition of reform-minded Catholics who invited the priest to move their event to a nearby Unitarian Universalist church.
The Rev. Helmut Schuller was invited to speak at St. Susanna Parish on July 17 as part of a 15-city tour of the United States called "The Catholic Tipping Point," sponsored by a coalition of progressive Catholic organizations, including the Needham-based Voice of the Faithful.
Schuller is the founder of the Austrian Priests' Initiative, which advocates for women's ordination, optional celibacy for priests, and greater lay participation as ways of addressing a priest shortage in Western Europe. About 1 in 10 Austrian priests now belong to the group, the Austrian Independent newspaper reported this month. Similar groups have sprung up elsewhere, including the United States.
Terrence C. Donilon, a spokesman for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, said in a statement released to the Globe: "It is the policy of the Archdiocese of Boston, and the generally accepted practice in dioceses across the country, not to permit individuals to conduct speaking engagements in Catholic parishes or at church events when those individuals promote positions that are contrary to Catholic teachings."
But leaders of the coalition that invited Schuller expressed disappointment with O'Malley's decision.
"Cardinal O'Malley is known to be a pastoral person, and certainly as someone who is dealing with the ravages of the priest shortage in Boston, I would have hoped he would be more sympathetic" to Schuller's message, said Sister Chris Schenk, executive director of Future Church, which advocates opening ordination to all baptized people. "Laypeople have to be able to have a voice and a venue to talk about their honest concerns and questions, and to just refuse any Catholic venue for this conversation to take place sends a very, very sad message."

Let's assume Foster, Rice and AP are gone. Who do you take MH?
Unfortunately....they won't be.</p>[/quote]
You lost me? Would you not be happy if one of those 3 dropped to you or you like Charles?
i think the new top 3 is AP, Rice, Charles
this CJ thing has an ugly turn and alot of people are saying that Foster's hamstring is a tear... that means he'll miss like the first 4 weeks of the season
I like CJ2K ahead of Charles but Charles scares me. Foster could be hurt all year. Mendenhall could sneak up in there to.
CJ is past the point of hold out for me.
IF he does sign he'll be hurt and/or behind
Hes not a top 3 value in my eyes right now

Well, I was when I read a blog post on Mary Joe Foley's blog a few days ago. There's also a later post on her blog clearing up the confusion.
Wow, I did even think I missed some changes in direction (again). Thanks Ward for making things clear on the Windows Server Division weblog.
From his recent blog post on the Windows Server Division weblog: "I believe a lot of the fuel for speculation comes from the internal development codename: "Windows Server '7' or Windows '7' Server" and what we will be calling it publically: "Windows Server 2008 R2." "
