Hello, I am working in a aspx web application that must be built in several separate "modules" with different functionality which will be partly developed by different teams.
However, I need the completed app to reside in ONE virtual directory. There will be a single startup page. I need session state to be preserved across pages in different modules.
I structured it as one solution with different Web Projects and one class library project with common functionalities.
1) is this the right approach to do this? Or which one would be better?
2) each time I add a new web project to the solution, a new web.config gets created. What do I do and where do I put them?
VS 2010 + framework 4.0 + TFS
Regarding TFS and source control, I have a single Team project, the solution and web projects are inside it.
Alsalamo 3alaykom ,
as we know that if you use Intelligencia.UrlRewriter.RewriterHttpModule or IIS URL Rewriting , we will face problems with arabic urls
as this
http://localhost:1234/Pages/???? ?????? ?????? ??????????
and the Rule is :
<rewrite url="~/Pages/(.+)" to="~/ShowPages.aspx?Page=$1" />
you will recive the QueryString["Page"] Like this
Ãâ¢Ã¢â¬Â ÃËçÃËæÃËè ÃËçÃâ¢Ã¢â¬Å¾ÃËùÃâ¢Ã¢â¬Â¦Ãâ¢Ã
 ÃËï Ãâ¢Ã¢â¬Å¾Ãâ¢Ã¢â¬Å¾ÃËôÃËäÃâ¢Ãâ Ãâ¢Ã¢â¬Â ÃËçÃâ¢Ã¢â¬Å¾ÃËãÃâ¢ÃâÃËçÃËïÃâ¢Ã
 Ãâ¢Ã¢â¬Â¦Ãâ¢Ã
so it's a big problem , and there is a solution that is :
remove the Rule of that rewriting ,,
<rewrite url="~/Pages/(.+)" to="~/ShowPages.aspx?Page=$1" />
then open your Global.asax file and Application_BeginRequest method exactly
use the following code to handle you request
void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString().Contains("/Pages/"))
String[] txt= Regex.Split(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString(), @"/");
String page = txt[txt.Length-1];
This article explains how you can use Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0 to claims-enable Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services and browser-based applications. The focus is on the token issuance functionality in AD FS 2.0. You'll find out how to use AD FS 2.0 as an identity provider; set up an AD FS 2.0 security token service (STS) to interact with WCF; federate AD FS 2.0 with your custom STS or another AD FS 2.0; enable Web single sign-on and federation with WS-Federation and SAML 2.0 protocols; and externalize authentication logic through Visual Studio. You'll come away appreciating how AD FS 2.0 and Windows Identity Foundation make programming identity solutions in Windows less of a chore.

I am following the tutorial http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-music-store-part-2 and am at the part where I need to build the solution...
When I click the build option at the top I do not get the same menu items...
I get:
Build <Project Name>
Rebuild <Project Name>
Clean <Project Name>
Publish <Product Name>
It doesn't even show the shortcut keys next the the menu items, like Build <Project Name> should show Shift+F6
I have wen't through many options and tried using the shortcut F6 to build solution
Is there something I am missing???
I've seen this question posted on all corners of the web... "How do I disable "AutoPostBack" on the ASP.NET 2.0 TreeView control?!" Unfortunately, most of the answers either don't work, miss the point (don't work right), or boil down to "You can't do it." I happen to know that this behavior worked perfectly in the IEWebControls TreeView that Microsoft released as an add-on prior to ASP.NET 2.0, however. So I set out to find a solution for the ASP.NET 2.0 TreeView issue.
In a nutshell, the behavior that I and others are looking for is to have a TreeView rendered in a page that allows the user to expand, contract, and select nodes within the TreeView without causing a PostBack to the server. This implies two things: (1) the most recently-selected node should be recorded as the currently-selected node [i.e., at PostBack time, the most-recently selected node is actually represented as the SelectedNode]; and (2) the selected node should exhibit the SelectedNodeStyle as specified in the TreeView declaration.
It appears that the TreeView engineers saw only two possible outcomes from selecting a leaf node in a tree: (1) immediately posting back to the server, or (2) immediately navigating to another web page. They apparently did not consider option (3) just allowing selection in-place on the client, while waiting for a click on so
Hi All,
I am trying to create a test Timer job in SharePoint and want it to be deployed as a solution package. I am using a web application project and added Timerjob.cs, fetaurereceiver.cs, feature.xml and manifest.cml files in in. Then I created a .dff file to
arrange the solution package. But when I tried to create a solution package with makecab.exe i got the below error
100.00% flushing current folder
I dont know what to do with that . Please if anyone can send me an example where a timer job was deployed as a solution package it will be of great help
I make a project based on WSPBuilder, add there an event handler, compile code, make wsp, deploy.
For the first time i have exact reaction from site as i intended.
Then i retract and delete solution and make several changes to elements.xml. Changing binding of list for exmaple from custom list to tasks:
from <Receivers ListTemplateId="100"> to <Receivers ListTemplateId="107">
Then i go all the way back to solution deployment.
But when i try to fire some events i dont get the effect.
As i`ve found out dll changes are deployed nicely. So if i change cs code i see the effect, but any changes in xmls go nowhere.
Only way no is to make it in a new project.
So how can i update these xmls on portal ?
I see xml are changing corerctly in feature\myevent.
Here is deploy script:
stsadm -o addsolution -filename WSPBuilderProject1.wsp
stsadm -o deploysolution -name WSPBuilderProject1.wsp -allowgacdeployment -immediate
stsadm -o copyappbincontent
Here is retract script:
stsadm -o retractsolution -name WSPBuilderProject1.wsp -local
stsadm -o deletesolution -name WSPBuilderProject1.wsp
What am i doing wrong ?
Hope I might be able to find some help on this one...
I developed a simple web part which posts HTML form contents to a SharePoint list - on first deploy, it worked fine, using the Web Part project base from VSeWSS 1.1, but after deployment, I noticed I fat fingered a url for redirection, and went back in to change it. Now, on deployment I get the following error:

When I create a new file system based web application in Visual Studio 2010, for example, named as "MyWebSite", two folders were created by the studio: MyWebSite and MyWebSite(2).

During the winter months I've been slowly working through the Unibroue range which has inexplicably shown up in one Dublin supermarket. I began in October with Trois Pistoles, and had a Maudite at the end of December. The evenings are starting to get a bit longer now and, while it's still chilly, the worst seems to be over, so it's time to conclude the series with La Fin du Monde.
Not being a fan of reading labels before drinking, I saw the word "triple" and assumed this to be in the tripel style. I was disabused of this by the pour: a very clear orange and a thick, snowy, long-lasting head. The mouthfeel is sparkly and full in the typically velvety Belgian way.
Closer attention to the label reveals that this is "triple fermented", which is one explanation given for the origin of the tripel name, but not the usual one. Anyway, this is no tripel. It's a much smoother, sweeter golden ale, more along the lines of Duvel or Piraat to my mind.
The dominant flavour is fruit. I was getting the sharpness of pears while Mrs Beer Nut detected bananas. This, of course, is our old friend 3-methyl-1-butyl acetate, generally known as isoamyl acetate to its friends. I had never associated it with pear flavours before, but Wikipedia tells me that pear essence is another name for this ester. Mrs Beer Nut has a degree in organic chemistry, but we don't talk about esters much for some reason.
The chemistry aside, this is a highly enjoyable beer: flavoursome, complex, yet easy going. 75cl doesn't last nearly long enough. The full-yet-effortless drinkability is something rarely found at 9% ABV, even in Belgium.
Of the three Unibroues, dark Trois Pistoles is the one I'll be running back to first. But I'd be happy with any of these whatever the season.

Color: a course in mastering the art of mixing colors
Jeremy P. Tarcher/Penguin, Sep 23, 2004 - Art - 206 pages
This guide distills the enormous existing knowledge about color theory into a practical method of working with color to produce harmonious combinations. Using techniques tested and honed in her five-day intensive color workshops, Edwards provides a basic understanding of how to see color, how to use it, and - for those involved in art, painting, or design - how to mix and combine hues. Including more than 125 color images and exercises that move from simple to challenging, this volume explains how to - see what is really there rather than what you 'know' in your mind about colored objects; perceive how light affects color, and how colors affect one another; manipulate hue, value, and intensity of color and transform colors into their opposites; balance color in still-life, landscape, figure, and portrait painting; understand the psychology of color; and harmonize color in your surroundings.

Kentucky smacks around Samford
Archie Goodwin scored 18 points, Alex Poythress added 16 and all five Kentucky starters scored in double figures as the Wildcats broke a two-game losing streak by drubbing Samford 88-56 on Tuesday night.
Nerlens Noel added 13 points while Julius Mays and Kyle Wiltjer each had 10 for the Wildcats (5-3), who shot 34 of 61 from the field (56 percent) against the Bulldogs after hitting just 40 of 118 in back-to-back losses against Notre Dame and Baylor.
Those defeats led to Kentucky falling from No. 8 last week to out of the Top 25, ending a 61-week stay in the poll that included 11 weeks at No. 1. The Wildcats responded by outrebounding the Bulldogs 41-25 and holding them to 40 percent shooting.
Raijon Kelly scored 14 points for Samford (2-8), which didn't score its 10th point until 4:15 remained in the half.
Willie Cauley-Stein added 12 points and a game-high 12 rebounds for Kentucky, coming off a rough week that left the Wildcats outside the Top 25 for the first time under coach John Calipari.
At the very least Calipari wanted more aggression from his players after they struggled to challenge Baylor on shots or for rebounds in Saturday's 64-55 loss. The coach even called out his squad about their commitment on Monday, suggesting that his team could benefit from some extra time in the gym.
For one half, the Wildcats gave their coach what they wanted.
Defensively, they dove for loose balls and challenged the Bulldogs on almost every shot and pass. The first-half result was 4-of-20 shooting (20 percent), a 23-13 rebounding advantage and 14 turnovers leading to 24 points.
Kentucky was just as impressive with the ball, shooting 17 of 32 from the field in the first half while committing just seven turnovers. The Wildcats' control of the boards included a 6-1 edge in offensive rebounds that seemed to please their coach the most.
That effort provided a 45-14 halftime lead, a total nearly matching their overall output the past two games. Kentucky entered the game having scored just 50 points against Notre Dame and 55 against Baylor.
Kentucky was even better shooting in the second half (58 percent) but only outscored Samford 43-42 as defensive lapses allowed the Bulldogs to find their way offensively.
Clide Geffrard had 12 points and Tim Williams and Connor Miller 11 each for Samford.

The Science Fiction and Fantasy publisher DAW has been publishing quite a few of the best writers with which the field currently is blessed, including, but not limited to, this year's World Fantasy Award winner, Nnedi Okorafor, Tanya Huff and Patrick Rothfuss. Katharine Kerr, creator of the great Deverry Fantasy series, is another DAW writer giving us consistently highly entertaining, smart and very well written books.
Katharine Kerr's latest series, the Nola O'Grady Novels, are, in order of publication -- License to Enscorcell, Water to Burn, and the most recent, published 02/07/12, Apocalypse to Go. The series is urban fantasy, located in an alternate San Francisco. Among these novels' strengths is the strong sense of real place, despite it being an alternate San Francisco, situated in a universe different from ours in many respects. This palpable sense of reality helps the reader to effortlessly suspend disbelief and submerge in the story.
One of the urban fantasy conventions is the protagonist generally is paired with another equal but different companion. This would be Israeli Interpol agent Ari Nathan, Irish Nola's partner in the super-secret supernatural government agency that is secret even from the (many) other government secret agencies. The conflict of potential divided loyalties is equal to the conflict at times as to who is giving orders, who is in charge and who makes the decisions. This makes for an interesting relationship, which becomes even more interesting as Nola's close-knit, if difficult, Irish family becomes a part of the mix of diverse worlds, supernatural creatures, murders, kidnappings and missions to save the world.
While Kerr's Nola O'Grady novels do conform to the conventions of urban fantasy, she puts a stamp of originality on each of them. The originality partly rises out of her fine grasp of how novels are plotted and structured, and partly through Kerr's splendid command of language. You hear it in the way the characters talk to us the readers, talk to and about each other. The interchanges and observations are conventionally genre 'smart,' yet on Kerr's pages they come through as naturally hip, not self-consciously wise-cracking attempts to talk the supernatural noir talk. But then the author lives in the state where noir and its language on the page and on the screen were invented to large degree.
Because of the unexpected actions of Nola's family, and also because the language in this world of Kerr's balances tension and lightness, this reader has often been put in mind of the first and best novels of Roger Zelazny's wonderful Amber series. I vividly recall reading non-stop Nine Princes in Amber the first time, hardly able to stop and take a breath. This is high praise. Go Kerr!

KECI General Manager Responds to Dish Network "Blackout"
A circuit of three southwestern Montana television stations, including Missoula's KECI have been dropped from Dish Network. The drop occurred on Saturday night, December 7, and has since infuriated many in western Montana after they lost programming such as local news, Monday Night football, as well as the upcoming Olympic games.
The outrage, as can be seen in the following snapshot from KECI's own Facebook page, has been directed at both Dish (120 likes) and at KECI (read comments):
NBC Montana General Manager Dick Reingold said that the blackout is the result of a failed negotiation. In essence, NBC Montana wanted Dish Network to pay NBC Montana more per customer than Dish Network had paid in the past. Dish Network has claimed the increase was around 300 percent, while Reingold says the increase is "between a couple of pennies and three pennies per customer."
When pushed on the notion of a 300 percent increase, Reingold said, "when your dealing with small numbers, the percentages can make the money look bigger than it is."
In KECI's view, the fight is a David and Goliath struggle.
"Our company owns a few small TV stations," Reingold said. "Dish Network is a multibillion dollar satellite company. All we're asking for is a few pennies a day for our programming... that's what this is all about. Without it, if we weren't to get it, we wouldn't be the same TV station."
Dish Network is well known as a tough negotiator, in fact, Bloomberg Businessweek even ran a story this year titled "Dish Network,The Meanest Company in America," by Caleb Hanan. Notable to the recent KECI conflict, Hanan points out:
"A blackout is the height of hostility between a carrier and a network. According to the American Television Alliance, a coalition of consumer groups and cable companies, no carrier is more willing to do battle than Dish, which is responsible for 22 of the 42 blackouts recorded since March 2010. DirecTV, with 5 million more subscribers, has been involved in six."
It appears KECI is in familiar territory. By law, producers and distributors must have negotiated contracts on a regular basis, and though agreements pop up fairly regularly, Reingold said this negotiation has been different.
"This is the first time, in our companies history that this has happened," Reingold said. "Never before. We've done dozens of these agreements: with DirecTV, with Charter, we've done them with Dish before. We've always reached an agreement, sometimes it goes down to the wire, but we've never been forced off a system before."
Reingold is asking those that are upset to call Dish and "tell them they are upset" and to "tell them it's reasonable for a couple pennies a day for the great local news and other local programming."

Intel E6750 CPU
You've gotten the upgrade itch again. Your system is up to date, you have a dual core processor already, but that hardware jones just won't go away. Kind of like the new car itch. You get in and smell the newness, kick the tires, and the salesman leads you down the hallway to the finance room to talk to the numbers guy. Then you finally put your name on the dotted line and you are now the proud owner of a new car. On the way home the buyers regret starts. By the time you get home, you start to realize that the other car was still pretty nice. You won't have to sign on the dotted line and promise out your first born child to be able to own one of Intel's latest Core 2 Duo CPUs. In fact, with the latest price drops, they are downright affordable. For the Average Joe, 2.66 GHz, 1066MHz and 1333MHz are numbers that really don't mean a whole lot.
For the enthusiast, those numbers bring the hope of increased performance and higher clock speeds from the CPUs that we chose. Intel's latest Core 2 Duo CPUs feature a 333 FSB instead of the 266 FSB we have grown accustomed to. Built using the same 65 nanometer process as its predecessors, it includes a shared L2 cache of 4 megabytes with 64 bit support on a socket 775 platform. Many motherboards currently on the market have the capability to use these new CPUs, while some need just a simple BIOS update to gain the capability. So why not jump in and take a look while we see what the latest from Intel has to offer.
Intel was formed at a time when the average size computer took up a large amount of space, usually several rooms. My how times have changed. Now the heart of a computer can be held in the palm of your hand with no thoughts of being crushed. Intel has lead the way with innovation and continually reducing the size of the processor and increasing the level of performance.
Closer Look :
The CPU that Intel has sent to us is an E6750 that runs at 333 FSB with a clock multiplier of 8. The package arrived tucked neatly in a sealed bag with the CPU in an OEM style box.
Opening the box, we get our first glimpse of the contents. Inside, we can see that we have a spanking new E6750 processor to put to the test.
Looking at the CPU, it appears to be an Engineering sample, not a retail CPU. Is that a bad thing? Not really. If you are an enthusiast, this could be a diamond or just a shiny lump of coal. As with any processor, your mileage may vary on the results you can achieve. With the socket 775 platform, you will notice that there are no pins on the bottom of the CPU. A little different, but it still works without the thought of bending pins during the installation.

ITEM 107-110-R0500 - Proposed Policy on Student Evaluation of Faculty Teaching
Policy 705.3 - Performance evaluation; faculty
Board policy:
1. Evaluation of the performance of all personnel involved in direct instruction within the Montana University System shall be conducted regularly and shall include student evaluation of teaching in accordance with these procedures.
2. Student evaluation of teaching is an important component of faculty performance review and should be taken into account in appointment (where practical and reliable), reappointment, tenure, promotion and post-tenure reviews at the department, college and university level.
1. Each campus shall establish a regular cycle of student evaluation of teaching and use the results of these evaluations in faculty performance evaluations for reappointment, tenure, promotion and, where applicable, post-tenure review.
2. For student evaluation of teaching, the following guidelines shall be observed:
a. There should be some student evaluation of each faculty member's teaching every year he or she is engaged in instruction.
b. When surveys or other instruments are used to collect student input on teaching, these must be administered and collected from the students by someone other than the faculty member under review.
c. The results of student evaluations of teaching should be shared with the faculty member only after final grades for the course(s) evaluated have been submitted for posting by the registrar.
3. The administrator or designated evaluation committee of a faculty member's academic department or division will meet with him or her to review his/her student evaluations in the context of other evaluations of teaching.
a. At this meeting, the reviewer(s) will indicate any specific issues that need to be addressed with respect to improvement of teaching in the next review period.
b. As appropriate, the reviewer (s) will offer the faculty member such professional development assistance as resources permit and the two deem helpful or necessary.
c. Copies of the student evaluations or a summary shall be retained in the faculty member's personnel file or other appropriate file and used in department, school/college and/or university performance reviews for no more than seven years.

Why I'm not sure Resident Evil 6 will be a good game.
I agree with you, but please don't be afraid to use more compound sentences in your articles.
Personally, I think its gonna be amazing.
Edit: Yeah the article looks like it was wrote by a twelve year old for an essay competition... short and sweet sentences.
You only have to play Resident Evil Revelations to see that Capcom is back on track with the franchise. Resi 6 is going to be fantastic!
I'm not, Resident Evil 6 looks like it going to be a great game. They sold me with the first trailer.
Rather or not it going to be the Resident Evil fans want is yet to be seen. But Leon is in and fans seem to think every game he is in is gold. (Even though I disagree. RE4 suffered all the same problem that RE5 had with the exception of Co-op yet it a classic and 5 the worst of the series.)
I want the original scare factor back, I miss classic resi games, however I can understand why Capcom changed all that because fixed camera angles and slow movement wouldnt appeal to the masses today.
I just hope they have a few Tight, dark interiors in it to give some good scares.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... History and Old Stuff...
These big two-story houses on 16th Street, just east of First Baptist Church in Hopkinsville, have seen better days. When they were built, they were just as fine as their well preserved sisters on Main Street a block away, but lately they haven't received the care they need. It seems likely that they have been downgraded from owners' residences to rental houses. Still, it looks like someone is getting ready to work on one of them -- that's good!
Lone Oak, built in the 1830s for Judge Joseph B. Crockett, is usually considered Hopkinsville's oldest house. I have read speculation on a local internet forum that Hopkinsville might have old cabins enclosed within old houses that predate Lone Oak, at least in the cabin part. However, no specific examples were given to support the theory.
Lone Oak stands on the SW corner of East 16th and Clay. used to have a restaurant in it, but it is currently standing empty. As with many old houses, some people enjoy saying that it is haunted. Ivy has overgrown a tree on the front lawn.
Across the street from Lone Oak, this yellow house faces south. It has received some upkeep in recent years and it's the best preserved house on the block. It was offered for sale by the owner several years ago, and some interesting details about the house were cited in newspaper advertisements. I remember that it has a pantry and built-in curio cabinets and bookcases. Different variations of the ad appeared over several months, and I was intrigued enough that I finally drove down East 16th Street just to see which house it was.
I took these photos this morning on my walk, and as you can see, the skies are gray today.

Who's Behind The False Rumors That Facebook Might Start Charging?
from the you-gotta-wonder dept
It looks like someone may be trying to pull the same trick with Facebook. Apparently a bunch of rumors have been spreading about Facebook planning to charge, resulting in huge protest groups in Facebook, and the company needing to make a public denial of any plans to charge. In Facebook's case, this is even more believable because the company claims that it's already profitable from existing ad sales. And, knowing how Facebook operates, I can't see anyone there seriously considering charging for use. They know the idea is preposterous and would destroy the site.
So the only thing I'm wondering is who kicked off these rumors? Is it another social network? Is it MySpace again trying to regain relevance? Or was it really just another malware scam to get people to click on unsafe links, that then resulted in a misguided panic?

Every now and then, these news items cross your path that simply don't need any words or imagery in order to make an impact. This is definitely one of those. You all know Amazon's Kindle, right? It's Amazon's successful e-book reader which allows you to buy a subset of Amazon's book catalogue in electronic form. Well, the term "buy" doesn't really apply here. Update: In a rare case of company mea culpa, Amazon has explained that deleting the books was a bad idea, and they assured us it won't happen again. The issue here was that the publisher behind the two Orwell books in the Kindle Store did not have the rights to sell these books, and after Amazon was informed by the rightsholder, they removed the books. Still, according to the NYT, more books were deleted from Kindles, even though Amazon doesn't have the right to do so according to its own TOS.

On Friday, noted Barack Obama supporter Oprah Winfrey interviewed Ann and Mitt Romney at the Romney's lakefront home in Wolfeboro, N.H., where the Romneys rode wave runners and poured champagne all over their chiseled bodies last week. The interview will appear in O, though the New York Times notes that Oprah has been one of President Obama's most ardent and high-profile supporters. Back in April, Oprah told CBS News' Charlie Rose that she would be less active in the 2012 election than she was in the 2008 election, insisting, however, that she's still "100 percent behind our president." What this no doubt means is that some poor O intern is busy drawing mustaches on the photos of Ann and Mitt in each copy of the magazine.

While the vast majority of undocumented Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic are involved in the dangerous and difficult work of harvesting sugarcane, the Dominican coffee industry relies heavily on Haitian labor as well. The political and economic situation in Haiti is such that the nation, once prosperous for its sugarcane and coffee production, now has more citizens working across the border than on Haitian soil. Most Dominicans are unwilling to work the grueling jobs that Haitians fill, and with the recent deportation of undocumented Haitians by the Dominican government, coffee and sugarcane plantations find it difficult to hire substitute labor.

Ask Chef Boy Ari
Good Sauce Trumps Bad Marinade
Q: Dear Ari,
Can you recommend a good marinade for wild game?
—Got Game
A: Ah, yes, hunting season might be over but the eating continues! On any day countless lucky hunters, plus their lucky families and friends, are thawing out chunks of wild meat. Some know what to do with it, some don't.
In my opinion, my opinion means nothing compared to that of Angus Cameron, author of The L.L. Bean Game and Fish Cookbook. Let me just say that he is the man.
Restaurant Review
Papa Nachos
Authentically good
Restaurant criticism has a fairly straightforward formula: Do your homework, visit the restaurant a few times and sample as much of the menu as possible. Keep an eye out for ambience and service and, voila!, you have our jobs in a walnut shell. But even with a rubric, the hard part comes from sitting in front of a blank computer screen, cursor blinking impatiently for input. Analyzing the latest in a string of mom-and-pop joints weighs heavily, because it's not only reputations that are at stake—it's livelihoods. People in the business of serving families have their own mouths to feed. And usually it's those families that are back there cooking, waiting tables and washing dishes.
Taste Test
Tickle Your Fancy, Suckle a Truffle
The Alibi chocolate truffle taste test
It's high truffle season—not the highly prized, exorbitantly priced fungus (that's October through December), but the highly prized, less exorbitantly priced little morsels of cocoa, sugar and cream. Chocolate truffles.
A Moveable Feast
Host a Chocolate-Tasting Party
1) Pick a theme. We settled on milk chocolate truffles, but you could also try comparing chocolate from different countries of origin, chocolate bars within the same cocoa percentage range, exotic spice-spiked chocolate candies or maybe a spectrum of chocolates made by a single maker. Choose between five and 10 examples--much more and you run the risk of fatiguing your palate. (Your tastebuds' equivalent of going cross-eyed.)
Food 101
The Ghirardelli Chocolate Glossary
bittersweet chocolate: Dark chocolate that contains a minimum of 35 percent chocolate liquor and less than 12 percent milk solids. Bittersweet and semisweet both fall under this definition, but bittersweet is also often used for chocolate with a minimum of 50 percent chocolate liquor.

GTK+ development configuration
I have an app of my own making that I haven't done any work on in two years that I want to pick up again. It's standard C and GTK-2.0 The last time it was worked on was on a Ubuntu system. I installed the Puppy devx package, recreated the app's directory structure, and ran the makefile to see what would happen. The result was better than I expected. But it can't find the include files for gtk, gdk, etc.
My question has to do with the path to include files. On the Ubuntu system the following invocations worked:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gdk/gdkkeysyms.h>
#include <glib.h>
#include <glib/gprintf.h>
#include <libgnome/libgnome.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <math.h>
I looked at the .pc file for gtk-2.0 and it looked like I needed to use the following syntax:
#include <gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h>
And indeed this works. It finds gtk.h. But I'd rather stick with the shorter version. Is it okay to modify the .pc file from:
so that in the C source I can simply say gtk/gtk.h ?
Or is there a better way to solve this?
Also, I believe that gtk.h contains some more includes and will it be able to find those?

Good suggestion but the makefile already contains that. Here's the contents of my makefile that worked under my old Ubuntu setup and that I'm using now:
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -Wall -lao `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 libgnome-2.0 gmodule-2.0`
LDFLAGS = -lao `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 libgnome-2.0 gmodule-2.0`
OBJECTS = dal.o utilities.o draw.o confparse.o sounds.o commands.o features.o objects.o
PROG = dal
$(CC) -o $@ $(OBJECTS) $(LDFLAGS)
rm -f *.o $(PROG)

do you actually use libgnome? Puppy doesn't have it and that is breaking your pkg-config line
run that line in a terminal to check the output - its great that its in the makefile but that doesn't tell you that it actually works
then try removing libgnome and see if it will build, for puppy it would be better to avoid the mostly superfluos gnome bits ... and looking at the names of the object files, gmodule is probably unnecessary too.
Unless you have over 100 or so files to compile, there is no need for a makefile. A basic gtk app that isn't a buggy p.o.s. should compile with:
gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` *.c -o myapp -lgtk-x11-2.0
if that works you can add optimization flags like -pipe -combine -Os (optimise and minimize size)
a universal makefile for a gtk-only app would look like
CC = gcc
PROG = myapp
CFLAGS = -g -pipe -combine -Os
LDFLAGS = -Wl,--as-needed,-s
$(CC) `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` $(CFLAGS) *.c -o $(PROG) `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` $(LDFLAGS)
(if your c files are in src then src/*.c instead of *.c)
p.s. next time you get an error message it would be helpful to report it - does this ring a bell?
Package libgnome-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgnome-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgnome-2.0' found

Thanks for the tips. I'll investigate your suggestions.
I've been using makefiles for 30 years so it's an old habit. I always use make, even for a single source file.
And yes, I did see the lib error message, but I figured first things first. Not finding the gtk includes prevents compilation. Sort that out first and get it to compile, then worry about linking and libraries. But your point is well taken. I can't remember off-hand why I added libgnome but I'll find out.
Thanks again.

when you call pkg-config with multiple entries (gtk and gnome) if any one of them is unavailable, none of the include are output because pkg-config just outputs the error (and nothing else) and it will keep doing so until every .pc file is found (see /usr/lib/pkg-config), basically its about as crappy as the rest of the autotools garbage.
rather than an whole separate ridiculous system, packages could just have a file that could be sourced directly the same way shells include files for extra variables and functions
for example:
. $FLAGCONFIGPATH/gtk+-2.0.flags || echo warning can't find gtk2
similarly the same could be done by system libraries that provide any of the 5million things that configure checks in triplicate
. $FLAGCONFIGPATH/snprintf.flags || MISSING_SNPRINTF=1
(you don't want to see how it actually happens)

technosaurus: Thank you very much for the tips. And I apologize because part of my question was "dumb". After being away from programming for a bit, I had become rusty on how makefiles worked. Duh.
All is straightened out now, including the libao stuff which works perfectly. The reason libgnome was in there was because this application makes extensive use of configuration files in INI format and I was using the functions for that in libgnome. That's now deprecated so I wrote my own suite of functions to manipulate INI files and eliminated libgnome.
Next, I have to track down an interesting problem that's been there since day one but never manifested before. This app is multithreaded and somewhere I'm doing something that's not thread-safe. It never crashed on other platforms but on Puppy it crashes with a seg fault after about 10 seconds of operation, so I'm glad to have discovered the problem. The threads communicate with each other via FIFOs, which I assumed would avoid most problems but I'm doing something dumb somewhere. Should be fun to track down.
Anyway, thanks again for the guidance.

Puppy doesn't come with strace, but you can get it here:
It's useful for rudimentary debugging, or you could post the code.
BTW if one of the pipes is stdin, gtk is likely the problem, however Gio has a file monitor that can watch a file for changes (on linux it uses inotify as a backend) My simple icon tray uses it to watch image files that get changed by shell scripts, but works for other situations.

Technosaurus: I wanted to thank you again for the info. All is working great. I knocked together an application I've been threatening to write for about 15 years. haha.
Back around 1990 there was a DOS program called InfoSelect that was close to ideal for organizing bits of information and quickly accessing it. It was a DOS TSR program that became obsolete when DOS went away. The company that made InfoSelect developed the program into a clumsy Windows app that was no longer useful to me and I've missed the old InfoSelect ever since.
So now I have it back again. Simple, fast, does what I need and nothing more.

I sent a couple of PMs with the code attached (it's all in one file) and some comments on how it's supposed to work. I figure it's easier to show than tell.
The app is unpolished but I'm using it for my work already. It's a completely different paradigm from Notecase so I don't know whether it would be appropriate for replacing it. On the other hand, it does quite a lot for a tiny program.
Each day I'm making little fixes and improvements. For example, I just fixed an oversight (that's less than a bug, haha) where it was possible to open more than one search dialog at once.

If you're being generous and you like using SCM (version control), you can get a free account at github.com (if you use git SCM) or chiselapp.com (if you use fossil SCM) or bitbucket.org (if you use mercurial SCM) and upload your repository / code there. As a benefit, people can contribute to that code too and make it better.
Googling for "DOS InfoSelect" gives a few result but having no experience with it, I have no idea how it works.
PS: My favorite DOS TSR was Borland Sidekick; I spent many hours writing assembly language programs in its editor

Yes, I plan to put it out there for people to play with if there's any interest. It might be useful to somebody.
It's still pretty crude, although I'm using it every day for my work now. I'm still making fixes and improvements every day and one important function is missing.
I've never published anything on github or sourceforge before.

Okay, I've opened an account on github and created a repository for it. Next I need to create a readme file and I ran info YADM (yet another damned format).
Puppy doesn't seem to have a markdown editor. Is there a format converter or quick way to generate an md file from text or whatever?
I'm running Slacko 5.3.3 here.

Solved the markdown format problem.
There is now a repo on Github that contains a readme file and the C source code for the NoteSelect gizmo.
Not sure exactly how to refer to it. I suppose it's https://github.com/shuttersparks/NoteSelect (?)
I must say that Github is one of the most opaque and unfriendly contraptions I've ever run into.
Please let me know if the above reference to the repo is incorrect.

text: With his glacial blue eyes, sexy stubble and effortless charm, Chris Pine is yet another swoon-worthy Starfleet captain. Before he suited up to reboot Captain James T. Kirk in J.J. Abrams "Star Trek" installments in 2009 and 2013, His first gig technically was on "CHiPs" while he was still in utero . His mom Gwynne Gilford was pregnant when she appeared on the highway patrol drama that starred his father. After earning an English degree from U.C. Berkeley, he studied acting at University of Leeds in England and San Francisco's American Conservatory Theater. Guest spots on "ER" and "CSI: Miami in 2003 as does romancing Anne Hathaway in "The Princess Diaries 2" in 2004 and Lindsay Lohan in 2006's "Just My Luck." The massive box office success of "Star Trek" proved Pine could anchor a film on his own and it opened plenty of doors on screen and stage. Some highlights include "Unstoppable", "This Means War", "Rise OF The Guardians" and "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit." He will next be seen in the highly anticipated "Into The Woods" and "Horrible Bosses 2". So far he has made good on his 2010 threat to Details Magazine to be the next George Clooney, never settling down too long-term with any one woman. He had brief relationships with Audrina Patridge, Olivia Munn and Dominique Piek.

Apple iPhone turns five this Friday
Staggering money spinner - and that's just the hardware
The iPhone first went on sale five years ago this week and it has already clocked up more than $150 billion in revenues - more than the annual GDP of Hungary - for Apple.
More than 250 million iPhones have been sold since 29 June 2007, the day over-the-counter sales began in the US, almost six months after its January 2007 launch.
That's just the hardware, of course. Apple takes a 30 per cent cut of the purchase price of ever app downloaded through the iTunes App Store, and with well over 30 billion apps downloaded since the app shop went online on 10 July 2008.
Apple netted $1.9 billion in iTunes revenue in the three months to 31 March 2012, though that includes music, video and e-book sales as well as apps. Kerching.
But Apple may have a less easy ride during the next five years.
"There are emerging signs that the iPhone's next five years could get tougher," said Neil Mawston of market watcher Strategy Analytics.
"Some mobile operators are becoming concerned about the high level of subsidies they spend on the iPhone, while Samsung is expanding its popular Galaxy portfolio and providing Apple with more credible competition."
There was no external storage - there still isn't - and the battery was tightly integrated into the casing - it still is. It has a 2Mp camera and 4-16GB of on-board Flash storage.
But the iPhone introduced the world to smooth touchscreen operation, its capacitive panel outclassing the less sensitive resistive screens commonplace at the time. Likewise, it introduced roll, pitch and yaw detecting accelerometers, now found on every smartphone. Likewise Wi-Fi.
Compared to the rivals of the time - Windows Mobile 6 had been released the previous February, Symbian S60 was a version 9.3 and Palm OS Cobalt was still desperately looking for supporters - iOS arrived as a breath of fresh air. It certainly had its shortcomings - no third-party apps, for staters - but it quickly began to define a smartphone feature set its rivals hastily tried to follow. ®

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Tech redshirt freshman Caleb
Mitchell was named Sunday as the Ohio Valley Conference Defensive
Player of the Week and also grabbed the Newcomer of the Week award,
while sophomore wide receiver Tim Benford is the co-Offensive
Player of the Week.
The pair was selected for the league's weekly honors for the huge roles each played in Tech's 20-13 Homecoming victory over Tennessee State Saturday afternoon in Tucker Stadium.
Mitchell, a 6-1 redshirt freshman from Russellville, Ala., was all over the field in the Golden Eagle victory, including forcing two turnovers in the first quarter which led to his team grabbing an early 13-0 lead. Mitchell finished the game with 13 tackles, 2.5 tackles-for-loss, 2.0 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and two pass break-ups.
On the game's first possession, he sacked TSU's quarterback and knocked the ball loose, setting up the Golden Eagles at the Tiger 24-yard line. Later in that quarter he picked off a pass and returned it 15 yards to the TSU 28-yard line, setting up the second Tech score of the quarter.
accounted for 122 of Tennessee Tech's 265 yards of total
offense. He grabbed five catches for 122 yards, inculding the
game-winner, a 28-yard touchdown in double coverage in the corner
of the end zone with 3:08 to play in the game. It marked the third
100-yard receiving game of his career. Benford has now caught at
least one pass in all 19 career games and moved up to ninth in TTU
history for career receptions.
Benford shared the award with Jacksonville State quarterback Ryan Perrilloux. The Special Teams Player of the Week honor was shared by teammates from Eastern Illinois, placekicker Austin Signor and punter Kevin Cook.
Mitchell, Benford and the Golden Eagles captured the Sgt. York Trophy with the win over TSU, and improved to 5-3 overall and 4-2 in the OVC. Tech will play at the University of Georgia next Saturday.

CHAMPAIGN — As the clock ticked in the final minute, Illinois coach John Groce pumped his fist and went over to give an empathic high five to freshman guard Kendrick Nunn.
After the game ended, he went over to slap hands with some members of the Orange Krush student section.
Illinois defeated Nebraska 60-49 at State Farm Center on Wednesday, snapping a five-game home streak, the program's longest in 40 years. It was the Illini's first home win since Jan. 4.
"It feels good to come home and win another game," forward Jon Ekey said. "The fans have been great, going through the struggles that we had. They still come to all the games, and they're loud."
The Illini have rebounded to win three of their last five games following an eight-game losing streak. This is the first time they have won back-to-back games since beating Indiana (Dec. 31) and Penn State (Jan. 4).
Nebraska entered the game as the hottest team in the Big Ten, and this loss snaps the Cornhuskers' five-game winning streak. They had won seven of their last eight to catapult themselves into sixth place in the conference standings. That momentum was halted by the Illini, who have held three straight opponents under 50 points.
Ever since this season turned sour, Illini fans have been searching for a glimmer of hope. That hope has come from freshmen guards Nunn and Malcolm Hill. When they were inserted into the starting lineup two weeks ago, it showed Illinois was looking toward the future.
Nunn paced the Illini with 13 points, prompting Nebraska coach Tim Miles to call him "an emerging star." Hill scored 10 points and grabbed five rebounds.
Everyone pitched in for Illinois on Wednesday.
Point guard Tracy Abrams did not connect on seven shot attempts, but he ran the offense smoothly with five assists and did not turn the ball over.
Nnanna Egwu scored eight points and grabbed five rebounds, and Groce continued to rave about his defensive presence.
When Illinois began to pull away midway through the second half, it was thanks to a 3-pointer and tip-in from Ekey sandwiched around a layup by Rayvonte Rice. Ekey finished with eight points, and Rice added 10 and nine rebounds.
Joseph Bertrand has struggled since being forced to come off the bench, but he and Ekey played their best games since taking on that role. Bertrand scored six points in the first half to help the Illini to a 27-24 lead. He had scored just seven points in the previous four games combined.
"This was the first time I thought Jon and Joe really excelled in that role," Groce said. "I thought they were great tonight."
The Cornhuskers could not muster much momentum offensively and were held to their season-low point total. They shot four air balls in the first half. They did not connect on any of their first eight 3-point attempts. They turned the ball over 15 times. Terran Petteway entered the game as the Big Ten's leading scorer, and while he finished with 13 points, he needed 18 shots to do so.
Illinois also won the hustle plays, including an acrobatic play in which Ekey dove into the Orange Krush student section to save a loose ball.
"The exciting thing for us is I don't think we've reached our total potential here down the stretch," Groce said.

In 1999, Helena Morris was an articulate 9-year-old from Simsbury with firm opinions. In an interview with The Courant that year, she described "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," the first in the J.K. Rowling series, as "the best book in the world, maybe in the universe."
Twelve years later, as the final Potter movie — "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" — is set to open at midnight Thursday, her feelings haven't wavered much.
"I still love the books very, very much," says the 22-year-old, who's ever more aware of what a huge part they played in her childhood.
PHOTOS: Harry Potter Fans, Then And Now
PHOTOS: Harry Potter Stars Through The Years
"I used to pray every night that J.K. Rowling would live to finish the series," says Morris, who will soon be a senior at St. Olaf's College in Minnesota. "I'd say, 'Dear God, and let her live beyond that, but especially until she finishes her books.'"
Lately, she says, it's been a "huge point of contention" that her boyfriend has not read any of the books.
"I keep telling him: 'You have to read the books. I can't go out with someone who hasn't read the books. You don't have to love them, but you have to read them to understand so much about my childhood.'"
In the coming decades, Harry Potter will no doubt find a place in the hearts of many children, but perhaps none will have the deep-seated passion for the world of Hogwarts shared by those who grew up with him through the seven-book and eight-movie series.
To explore that special relationship, The Courant contacted five first-generation Potter fans we interviewed a decade or more ago. Their experiences with the books are woven deeply into their childhood memories.
Lily Wilkinson, who was 10 and living in Durham when the first Potter film came out, recalls that "most of the books came out when I was at summer camp, which was sort of an issue." So she'd pre-order the book before leaving for Vermont and await the day when a larger-than-usual mail truck pulled in.
"For the next week, no one cared about the [camp] activities," says Wilkinson, who is turning 20 this summer and lives in Boulder, Colo. "It was just a bunch of girls walking around with their noses in Harry Potter."
Brett Carroll of Farmington, who spent a couple of Halloweens as Harry Potter and posed for The Courant at the age of 9 in costume, says the books "were definitely our generation's series."
"I still think they are interesting books," says Carroll. "I still like the story-line … It's just kind of cool to imagine there was a whole different world … It was pretty easy to read, lots of action."
Carroll, who is now 18 and 6 feet 4, will be attending college in Salt Lake City starting next month.
Holly B. Gonzalez, who was 12 and living in Plainville, helped critique the first Potter film for The Courant and says she's not as obsessed with the books as she used to be, but her interest is still strong. For a college party, she dyed her hair red to be Ginny Weasley, while her boyfriend dressed up as Harry Potter. Now 22 and working for a bank, she hopes to eventually get into publishing.
"I want to make things like [the Potter series] for other kids," she says.
Potter devotees talk about common elements in their childhood: attending midnight book store parties in character costume; the sweet-but-torturous waiting for the next installment; the bittersweet feeling on reaching the final page; reading and rereading to try to discern and predict future plot turns; arguing over the finer plot points and details with the intensity of scholars.
Sally Reis, a professor of educational psychology at UConn, says the books had a particularly deep impact on kids who grew up with Harry, partly because the readers were transitioning through life's stages with him.
"I think many of those young people who were so touched by his life, they were seeking something themselves, seeking a way to do similar things," Reis says.
Kids bring their own interests to what they read, she says, and in many cases they may feel as Harry did going through adolescence: "a little bit different, a little unique, very bright, maybe without a lot of peers … Many identify with Harry on a very personal level. They saw in him a hero, a person who triumphed over evil, who gains friends and people who love him through his valor and his self-journey."
Teikyo Mowchan, 19, who will be a sophomore at Wheaton College in Norton, Mass., this fall, says the book series is not as huge a part of his life now as it was a decade ago, though it did inspire him to want to be a writer. He was living in Newington when he critiqued the first Potter film for The Courant. (He said that movie skipped a bit too abruptly from scene to scene.)
"It was something that guided me through my childhood," Mowchan says. "It did sort of provide help for adolescent problems. Every teenager goes through the same basic things. Harry and I were pretty much synched-up age wise. It was kind of like he was my guide in a way. It was really nice."
Morris identified most with Hermione.
"I was always a huge nerd in school," says Morris, and Hermione suffered with her reputation as "a smart girl … really kind of a dork."
"People were always putting her in a box," Morris says, but then Hermione proved that she was far more complex and courageous.
As the youngest in a large family, Wilkinson identified with Ginny Weasley. "I just remember that first book when they are being dropped off at the train station and everyone is saying, 'Oh, don't worry Ginny, you'll get to go next year,' and that was the story of my life."
The delay of a year or more between books intensified their influence. While the kids were waiting for the next book, they read and reread the books they had, looking for clues about what might happen next.
Children starting the books now "will still love the books, but there won't be the fascination for what's going to happen next," says Reis. "I don't think they will think about it so deeply because they can pick up the next book."
Just before the sixth book came out — "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" — the fans of the series remember the obsession with trying to determine who would die in that book.
"Oh yeah, some of the best times were waiting just before the books," Mowchan says. "You knew you were going to know in a few days, but you had no idea what you were going to know."
The anticipation about what might happen and the realization that "it didn't happen the way you thought it might, engaged [young readers]," Reis said. "They became part of the writing process by waiting."
The first generation of Potter fans worry that kids won't be mature enough to appreciate the books if they buzz through them quickly, and others fear they will just see the movies.
Mowchan thinks the series "lost something of its sparkle now that it's complete."
But that doesn't mean he isn't planning to see "Deathly Hallows." Mowchan and Wilkinson already have their tickets for the midnight showing. Only Morris won't be going. She's always refused to see the movies because she feared Hollywood would ruin them for her.
"I would get invited over to people's houses and I'd say, 'I'm going to leave if you are going play this movie,'" Morris says. "I've fought it my entire childhood."
