It is my opinion that there has never been a better time to be a reader of Franco-Belgian comics (les bandes dessinees, or "BD") than right now.
I recently surveyed the Pipeline Comics Newsletter to see why people weren't reading Franco-Belgian comics. There's a lot of commonality to their answers, and some interesting points I hadn't considered before.
This article is my chance to answer the things some people find to be roadblocks. The good news is, you can overcome the vast majority of these objections.
If you've ever considered reading some BD, but thought you had a reason not to, let's see if I can remove some of those blocks for you today.
"I Can't Read French"
Neither can I. Well, I can read some stuff, thanks to a couple of years in high school and frequent use of the "Translate" button in TweetBot and the Chrome browser.
Thankfully, more French albums are available today in English than ever before. It's not all of them and it's not all of the best of them, but it's a pretty good range of comics.
Why? Digital comics. They're easier and cheaper to translate and publish now than ever. The bounty of goodness we have showing up on-line is amazing, and growing larger every week.
It's relatively cheap to create English language editions of French comics. You need a translator and a letterer to accomplish 95% of the work, and some editorial/graphic design folks to handle things like the issue summary and front page credits layout. Those are the cheapest parts of the creative team for any comic, so…
Once translated into English, the comics can be more easily sold in a lot of countries, including the United States, Canada, England, and Australia. The only thing holding them back is legal issues regarding who has the rights to distribute these books outside of Europe.
"Nobody Publishes Them in North America."
I don't think there's ever been a time when we've had more publishers translating Franco-Belgian comics into English.
Cinebook is the big one, in that it publishes albums in roughly their original format with regularity. They release multiple new volumes every month, including some of the biggest names like "Lucky Luke" and "Largo Winch."
But we've also had recent translations from companies as diverse as Humanoids, Dynamite, Dark Horse, NBM/Papercutz, Fantagraphics, First Second, and IDW.
And that's just the print publications.
In the digital world, you can include most of the above and then add in all the translations under the Europe Comics banner.
If you want a backgrounder on some of the biggest publishers, I have a list of those, too.
"The Pages Are Too Big" (The Format Question)
Do you have a bookcase with a shelf full of DC's "Absolute Editions" or IDW's "Artist's Editions"?
Those books are bigger.
But, seriously, it's not difficult to hold these books in your hands. Even with the softcover binding, you can easily see inside to the binding even at the center of the book. The publishing has adjusted for this. And their comics don't go full bleed, either.
These books are meant to be read at a larger size than your standard comics. They're lettered with the bigger page sizes in mind. When you shrink it down, the lettering shrinks down with it, making the whole thing harder to read. Full size BD is the only way to go.
That doesn't stop some publishers from shrinking down the pages, anyway. It's often more cost-effective for them to use smaller page sizes with books that won't sell in amazing numbers.
Papercutz prints in this smaller size, for one example, with books like "The Smurfs" and "Sisters" and "Dance Club." Thankfully, those are also books that are less densely packed with panels and details, so they convert to the smaller page size easily. (With The Smurfs, you also have the option of buying "The Smurfs Anthology" series, instead, which has a larger page size and a nice hardcover presentation.) They also publish books aimed at a younger market, which demands the smaller size. (Remember CrossGen's smaller collections? Or Marvel's "Backpack" format?)
"The Books Are Too Short."
Yes, they usually come in at roughly two issues of a standard American comic. Actually, now that Marvel and DC are down to 20 pages, BD albums are officially more than twice as thick as the typical monthly Big Two comic. Some are even two and a half to three times bigger.
They also usually tell complete stories, or complete chapters of a story. So you are getting, in Heidi McDonald's words, a "satisfying chunk" of story no matter what.
These are not books designed to be read in six volume sequences. Some do tell overall narratives that will run three or four volumes, but each one is a complete chapter that is satisfying. When you have a series that only comes out once a year, that technique is nearly mandatory.
If you're worried about the series that do, indeed, have longer stories told in two to four volumes, don't read them until they're done. There's plenty of other fish in the sea. Concentrate on the other fish until the book you're interested in is completed. We know this is something that's already happening in North American comics, so it shouldn't be a problem here.
"The Books are Too Expensive."
This one has always bothered me, mostly because I don't think most people who say this have tried it yet. It also ties into the "too short" objection I just talked about.
How, you may ask, can a 48 page comic compete with a 144 page trade paperback, when the two are sometimes in the same ballpark, price-wise?
I can tell you from personal experience that the amount of time it takes to read each is often nearly identical.
Franco-Belgian comics do a lot less decompressed storytelling. They don't do double page splashes. They don't do splash pages, even on the first page. They pack in a lot of story with a lot of dialogue. The pages are larger, resulting in more panels per page, on average.
Here's my challenge to you: Next time you sit down to read a trade paperback that collects six issues of a series, take a look at the clock before and after. How long does it take for you to read a story arc from Marvel or DC? I bet you can do it in a half hour. Depending on the writer, you might even finish in as little as 20 minutes.
Trust me, most BD will take you longer to read just 48 pages' worth of story.
"The Books are Hard to Find"
Yes, the Direct Market sucks. For various reasons, it's not incentivized to carry these translated works. Even when Marvel and DC were playing with a line of their own (in different formats), they couldn't get it to work in the Direct Market.
But you have Amazon.com for print. You have Comixology and Izneo.com for digital.
Problem solved.
"I Don't Know What's Good"
It's true: There isn't a single Must Read BD Comic for the North American market.
While everyone's heard of "The Smurfs" and most comic fans have heard of "Asterix" and "Tintin," there hasn't been that one series that was a "must read" amongst North American comic fans yet.
Will it be "Valerian and Laureline" with the big Luc Besson-directed movie coming this summer? Possibly. But a movie directed by Steven Spielberg didn't help Tintin much, so how would we know?
That's part of what I'm trying to do with my 100 reviews this year. I want to find good comics for everyone. There's a wide enough variety of comics coming out of France that I would bet good money there's one for you somewhere.
So, please, keep coming back here and browse through some of the reviews. Eventually, I hope to organize them in more cohesive ways to find what you're looking for.
"I Tried One Once and Didn't Like It"
Good news: there are a lot of different kinds of BD. There's humor and action and thriller and science fiction and horror and war and autobiography and so much more. You might have just read one that was the wrong kind for you. One publisher, Delcourt, has 30 distinct imprints. Certainly, there's something for everyone there somewhere.
I'm not going to ask you to do a lot of work and research to convince yourself there's something good out there you might like. But do keep an eye on the reviews here all year. I've already reviewed a pretty wide swatch of material, from sci fi/fantasy to autobio to thriller. I have a lot more humor and some historical fiction yet to come, too. Plus some crime drama, and some kid-friendly stuff, and — just lots of things.
"The Translations Aren't Very Good"
You didn't read "Asterix," then.
No, seriously, Anthea Bell is such an amazing translator for those books that I know her name without looking up. She's the best in her field for translations, in general. She's amazing.
She is, however, an outlier. She's Michael Jordan compared to every rookie in professional basketball.
Yes, modern translations of Franco-Belgian comics are imperfect, I can admit. I've not read many books where I haven't tripped over a phrase or wondered if a panel had been mistranslated because it didn't entirely make sense.
They are, however, 100 times better than any job I'd do with my wits and Google Translator. I also don't have to deal with fitting the translations into the balloons that exist on the page already.
"I Don't Have Enough Time"
OK, you win.
I'm not here to convince you to rearrange your life's priorities or to quit watching TV or stop reading something else or to leave your spouse and children for a one bedroom bachelor pad filled with four color funnies and ramen noodles.
This is supposed to be fun. If you don't really want to read these books, and you're already enjoying the ones you're currently reading — whatever type they are — then have a blast.
If you change your mind, though, please read all of the above again and join me. I'll be here.
Go Forth and Read
I hope this answers some of your hesitations with trying something new from the world of Franco-Belgian comics. And I hope something I've reviewed has pointed to you to a new comic series you're exciting about.
If you have any other objections or questions, please leave a comment below. If more FAQs come up, I'll add them to this article.
Thanks for giving this a shot.

Friday again and time for W6 R3, if I'm not mistaken it's 24 minutes of continuous running today, sigh... Sat here now trying to motivate myself, it's not a good morning though, my joints and especially my right knee ache today for some reason, I'm also very tired.
I think I'm going to try to get some blood flowing to my muscles with a slow warm up before attempting the run in an hour or so, maybe use the rolling pin method demonstrated in one of the Queries that had been answered in the Questions section.

Pitching is a good opportunity to develop and present your ideas. Pitching puts you in control of a blog post's narrative and lets you build and enhance your relationship with clients. But how do you do it? You just need a game plan in place, regardless of where you're submitting your blog ideas. Here are some tips for pitching great blog ideas to any client:
1. Understand Your Client's Needs
Before you pitch any topic, it's important to understand what your client is looking for in a blog post. Sometimes clients won't know what they want but will have a problem that they are trying to solve for their customers or audience. Put yourself in your client's shoes, and think about the pain points they need to solve. Get an understanding of their audience by taking a look at their social platforms or website to see what their customers are saying or asking. This will help you get a sense of what they need to know, and it can help you decide what topic to pitch.
2. Check Out Existing Content
If your client already has a blog, familiarize yourself with its content. Take a look at some of the topics previously discussed so you can avoid pitching irrelevant topics. You can use existing content to get a sense of your client's tone and preferred writing style, too. You can also take an idea from the topic and expand on it. For example, if your client published a blog post on saving money for college, you can expand the idea and pitch on the different banking options college students can use to build their savings.
3. Keep It Simple
While there are no hard rules for your pitching format, it's essential to keep it brief and easy to understand. Scripted suggests outlining your idea in two or three sentences to give your client an idea of what to expect from your blog post. You can also share three points you plan to make so your client gets a sense of what you'll use to support your topic. Reread your pitch. Also, double-check and edit your pitch for grammatical or technical errors.
4. Work on Your Headline
You want your headline to be strong and powerful enough to catch your client's attention. For instance, if you're creating a listicle-style blog post, then include numbers in your headline, such as "11 Data-Driven Reasons Why Content Marketing Works." Also, keep SEO in mind when you're creating a title for the blog post. Try to include one or two relevant keywords that your client's audience may use to search for the topic.
Writing a killer headline may be your only chance to win a client.
5. Keep an Idea Log
When it comes to pitching, practice makes perfect. Keeping an idea log is an efficient way to stay ahead of the game and to prepare for pitching a great blog post to any client. You can become an "idea machine" by keeping a list of ideas on hand. Start by writing down 10 ideas a day. You can even expand on these ideas or grow your list to include between 15 and 20 ideas.
Final Thoughts
Pitching is a skill you can develop and master when you put your game plan into action. Always be trying to answer questions or solve problems with your pitches. Don't be afraid to explore new terrain. By focusing on your audience and applying these tips, you'll be well on your way to becoming "pitch-perfect."

"…the worst thing to happen to Canada since Justin Bieber…"
As always, the internet has a plethora of websites with breaking news stories from around the globe. Of all the ones I stumbled across, nothing stood out more to me than this article from Huffington Post that talks about a letter written by a loyal Tim Horton's customer's complaint over their "inferior" lids.
It's worth the read and it highly entertaining. It will have you nodding your head agreement and saying "I, too, have felt the pain of this individual!"
First world problems at its best.

– New site design coming! Since this has turned into a solo endeavour (unless some of you are interested in collaborating, contributing, etc.) I have decided to spruce up the blog a bit.
– I am going to try (very hard) to post daily.
– And as always, I am always looking for contributors! So please, do not hesitate to send and share your ideas. Creative collaboration is always awesome!

What are the Ingredients Used in Nutricell Actodin?
The ingredients of Actodin are the following:
- Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM®) – This primary ingredient is sourced from natural eggshell membranes and contains the following:
- Hyaluronic Acid – It is a naturally occurring compound in the body that is commonly found in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues. It enhances the production of synovial fluid which acts as lubrication between joints to reduce stiffness and allow easier movement. The synovial fluid also serves as a cushion to prevent frictional damage between the joints during each movement.
- Glucosamine – It is a naturally occurring substance in the body that is commonly found in the connective tissues. It is a key building block for repair of damaged joints and cartilages. It is also essential in maintaining the healthy stature of joints in the body.
- Chondroitin – This ingredient on the other hand is mostly found in the cartilages. It prevents the breakdown of cartilages by protecting them against damaging enzymes in the body. Chondroitin is mostly used together with glucosamine to reduce joint pain, inflammation, and discomfort.
- Collagen – This ingredient is naturally present in the body especially in the connective tissues like joints and cartilages. It helps maintain flexibility of the tissues and it is also essential in the repair process of the damaged joints.
- Amino Acids – It is considered the building blocks of protein which is necessary for many bodily functions especially during the repair of damaged tissues like the joints and cartilages.
- Other ingredients include Boswellia, Turmeric, White Willow Bark, Fiend's Claw, and Yucca Root.
How Does Actodin Work?
Joint pain, inflammation, and other related symptoms mostly happen because of damage to the joints. Actodin works primarily by supplying the body with the essential nutrients that is needed during the repair process of the damaged joints and cartilages.
It has the key building blocks for joint repair and is complimented by other ingredients to further enhance the process. It also contains herbal components which are believed to reduce joint pain and inflammation in a natural way.
What are the Pros of Nutricell Actodin?
- It is an all-natural product.
- The product comes with a money back guarantee.
What are the Cons of Nutricell Actodin?
- It contains glucosamine which is sourced from crustaceans thus the product might not be safe for people with shellfish allergy.
- Its primary ingredient is derived from eggshell thus the product might not be safe for people with allergy to egg and egg products.
Directions for Use
The manufacturer recommends taking one pill a day which can be increased up to three times daily if needed. However, one can initially take three pills and reduce it when symptoms are improving.
What Research Has Been Done?
There were no published researches or clinical trials to prove the product's efficacy and safety.
Is It Effective?
Some consumers found relief in using this product however there are no documented studies to prove the effectivity of Actodin in treating joint symptoms such as pain, inflammation, and stiffness.
Is It Right For You?
This product is not right for you if:
- You have allergy to shellfish and shellfish products.
- You have allergy to eggs and egg products.
- You are currently taking blood thinners such as Warfarin, Heparin, Aspirin, and the like.
- You are pregnant or providing breastfeeds.
- You have been diagnosed with a medical condition.
- You are below 18 years of age.
- You are currently taking other medications or supplements.
- You are currently undergoing any form of medical treatment.
What Should I Expect When Taking Actodin?
According to Nutricell, taking Actodin will improve your stamina in performing your daily activities. Actodin will also improve joint flexibility, reduce joint pain, and enhance mobilization. However these results were not verified scientifically through clinical trials.
Will Actodin Show Results?
The results of Actodin will vary from one person to another. While others benefit from taking this supplement, other people might not find any relief at all. The results depend on the severity of symptoms and how well the body responds to the supplement.
How Long Does It Take To See The Result?
Since it is an oral supplement and it takes time for the body to get used to the enhanced nutrient supply, it might take a few weeks or months before results can be noticed.
Nutricell Actodin Review – The Conclusion
If you are considering in taking this supplement then you might want to think harder. Although Actodin contains the basic ingredients in order to support joint repair and health, there is still no hard proof evidence that the product is effective or is even safe for consumption.
It also contains herbal components that can cause serious adverse reactions especially when not processed properly. When it comes to your own health, you should only go for the safe and effective products.

A new easy-to-open structure for smooth refilling
Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. (hereafter Toppan Printing; head office: Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo; President & Representative Director: Shingo Kaneko) has developed a standing pouch called Sosogi Jozu (easy pour), with which the ease of pouring out contents has been improved. Full-scale sales will begin in mid-September 2012 targeting the toiletries and cosmetics industries.
A standing pouch is a bag-type container that uses laminated film. The pouch is able to stand by itself because the base section opens out when the pouch is filled with its contents. Standing pouches are widely used as refill packaging in the toiletries sector in particular.
Sosogi Jozu is a standing pouch which enables smooth refilling because the spout section does not close up easily. Using Toppan Printing' s original bag making technologies, it has been possible to develop a new spout structure in which the top part of the pouch is not sealed but folded back on itself. Since there is no sealed section at the top of the spout, the width of the spout can be increased and the spout can be made into a shape that opens out naturally when the pouch is opened. This means that time required to pour out the contents is roughly 20% less than with conventional standing pouches and ease of pouring has been significantly improved. In addition, ease of opening has been enhanced by improving the shape of the spout.
This product will be displayed in the Toppan booth at Tokyo Pack 2012, which will be held at the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition center from Tuesday October 2 to Friday October 5, 2012.
Sample Sosogi Jozu pouches (left) and images showing the large opening of the spout due to the new structure (right)
Copyright 2012 TOPPAN PRINTING CO., LTD.
< Background to development >
Due to needs for consideration for the environment and resource saving, the standing pouch market is expanding, primarily focused on refill products in the toiletries market, such as shampoos, conditioners, and detergents. The market is estimated to be worth approximately 25 billion yen. Refill standing pouches are widely recognized as a form of packaging that is environmentally friendly in terms of resource saving. However, there have been demands from consumers for shortened refilling times and packages that are easier to open.
Because standing pouches have a structure that includes a welded seal at the top and bottom of the spout, the spout has been difficult to open and has not opened out easily, meaning that the spout can sometimes close up during pouring into a bottle. In order to solve this problem, in the past manufacturers have tried to improve the ease of pouring by embossing texture onto the spout section film or using plastic parts such as a tube. However, there were still problems such as it not being possible to sufficiently ensure the opening of the spout with embossing alone, and price and outsourced recycling costs increasing when plastic parts were used.
With Sosogi Jozu, a standing pouch with a spout that opens out easily has been created by folding back the top section of the pouch instead of sealing it. By adjusting the shape of the spout, it has also been possible to improve ease of opening. In addition, costs borne by companies for outsourced recycling have been reduced by approximately 5% because plastic parts are not used.
< Features of Sosogi Jozu >
- Improvement in ease of pouring with new spout shape
Due to an original and innovative Toppan Printing bag making technique where the top of the pouch including the spout is not sealed together but folded back on itself, it has been possible to produce a spout that is wide and opens out easily. The time needed to pour out the contents is about 20% less than with a traditional standing pouch with a tube.
- Enhanced ease of opening
Due to the adjustment of the spout shape, the strength required to open the spout has been reduced by about 30%.
- Reduction in outsourced recycling costs
As plastic parts are not used, outsourced recycling costs have been reduced by approximately 5% compared with traditional standing pouches with tubes.
< Price >
While ease of pouring and ease of opening are enhanced, it is possible to offer a price that is approximately 10% lower than the price for standing pouches with plastic parts such as tubes for the same volume.
< Future targets >
In addition to the toiletries industry, Toppan Printing aims to expand the use of Sosogi Jozu and other refill standing pouches to sectors such as cosmetics and food, and is targeting sales of 6 billion yen for these products and related orders in fiscal 2015.

Spent 5 hours in this lovely establishment on Friday the 12th of June (killing time waiting for a flight). Upon entering we were treated to warm friendly smiles and great service from the barmaid. A variety of drinks were consumed all excellent and reasonably priced. The food from Cafe Batavia is something else, we ordered the back ribs and beef la chouffe pie they both came piping hot. The back ribs were very tender, cooked to perfection with plenty of meat, served with a delicious sauce, a lovely fresh salad and chips 5/5. The beef la chouffe pie was a taste sensation, really tasty nice chunks of beef in a lovely beer gravy wrapped in homemade flakey pastry served with mashed potatoes, gravy and fresh salad 5/5. For dessert we had the chocolate fudge cake and the cheesecake both were delicious. Complements to the chef the food was a treat. We really enjoyed ourselves in Cafe Batavia, thank you for your wonderful hospitality and may we see you again and again.
We visited in November last year, cannot recommend this bar enough, brilliant staff, wonderful beers and great food 🙂

Bottom line: This novella is a wonderful introduction not only to the Steampunk Chronicles series, but to the steampunk genre itself. If you've been wanting to try out steampunk, wondered what it was, or just want a fun, well written book to read, give this one a shot. Also, it's free!
Rating: Strongly Recommended
Finley Jayne knows she's not 'normal'. Normal girls don't lose time, or have something inside them that makes them capable of remarkably violent things. Her behavior has already cost her one job, so when she's offered the lofty position of companion to Phoebe, a debutante recently engaged to Lord Vincent, she accepts, despite having no experience. Lord Vincent is a man of science with his automatons and inventions, but Finley is suspicious of his motives where Phoebe is concerned. She will do anything to protect her new friend, but what she discovers is even more monstrous than anything she could have imagined…
I downloaded this novella because it was free, and when I finished, I immediately went and bought the next book (first book? this one is a prequel – can I call it book zero?) in the series (book one review forthcoming). I would have bought the next one, too, but it won't be out until June 2012.
I was impressed for a lot of reasons. For one thing, I often find that short stories/novellas feel incomplete – you are barely introduced to some characters, a plot is thrown together, and then it's over. That was certainly not the case with this book. There is a good balance of time spent developing the characters and the world, and while the plot moves quickly, it doesn't feel rushed. The heroine is a well written, strong female character, who's struggling to come to terms with her unique capabilities and whether they are a blessing or a curse.
This is definitely in the steampunk genre – the setting is a late 1800s London with steam powered devices, automaton servants and interesting gadgets. All these things are mentioned and discussed a bit, but not harped on – thank goodness. I tend to get a bit glassy eyed over too many intricate details.
Available: Free e-book available through Barnes and Noble, Amazon, or iTunes.

All reviews are from people who have redeemed deals with this merchant.
What You'll Get
Spa treatments can appear to restore lost youth, sending clients back to a time when brows were unlined, razors were unneeded, and someone else was responsible for washing your face. Put beauty in someone else's hands with today's Groupon to Morgan Perris Salon in Westmont. Choose between the following options:
• For $65, you get a full facial microdermabrasion treatment (a $150 value).
• For $20, you get $40 worth of waxing services.
Operating the cogs and gears of grooming for more than 20 years, Morgan Perris Salon banishes blemishes and strips stubble seven days a week. Microdermabrasion sloughs off outer layers of skin marked by sun exposure or fine lines, exposing a fresher face below. While an assistant symbolically flips backward through a calendar, a technician begins with a cleansing before massaging the skin with tiny crystals, calibrating treatment to the customer's level of sensitivity. At the end of the 45-minute treatment, the skin savant will sooth visages with calming and hydrating serums before sending them on their way.
Alternatively, waxing treatments denude brows ($20+), bikini lines ($35+), and upper lips ($15), leaving them feeling as sleek and spry as a circus seal. During their visit, clients luxuriate in an airy spa space reminiscent of a Greek temple ennobled by filigreed archways, white columns, and celestial murals.

It has been almost two weeks since I checked out the latest music list. I forced myself the day before yesterday to take some time off my schedule and listen to what's new on the Pop block! I am not sure if I am too late in talking about Lady Gaga, but it is better late than never hey :)
Just to brief on Lady Gaga, her real name is Stefanie and she is just 22 years (She is younger than me and became a popular singer already... Shame I know Lol). I heard her "Just Dance" track on radio and got completely excited to check her album out. I then got myself a copy of her, "The Fame". I should admit, this album totally rocks! I personally liked the tracks
Just Dance - An amazing song loved by anyone who absolutely adores catchy dance/pop. Like everyone else say, it is an outrageously contagious, "easily-stuck-in-your-head" pop track.
Beautiful Dirty Rich - It is more like an industrial dance track. I liked it :)
Money Honey, Boys Boys Boys, Love Game and... Stop me someone or I sure am gonna list all the tracks Lol
To be honest, this is one great album I heard after quite a long time. I would suggest any of you dance/pop lovers to get yourself a copy if you don't have one already.
To say a few little interesting facts about Lady Gaga,
A New York girl from the start, Lady GaGa learned piano by ear at the age of four and, by age 13, had started writing music. She composed a piano ballad and was performing by age 14. At 17, young GaGa gained early admission to the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and studied music. By 20, she was penning songs for Interscope artists like the Pussycat Dolls.Bless the Lady Gaga!

Learn to Play Golf in Ireland
Greening in the Years
We've all been wowed by the recent successes of Rory McIlroy, Padraig Harrington, Graeme McDowell, Darren Clarke and other golfers from this island. But have you ever wondered who our future stars are; who we'll be cheering for at 4am in the morning when a putt rolls in for victory at another major tournament?
We're happy to say that at the more than 400 courses countrywide, young talent is blossoming. Here are some names to watch out for!
Northern Ireland's amazing recent golf success has continued with Alan Dunbar (22) becoming the British Amateur Champion – a title that eluded all of the aforementioned pros. The Walker Cup player calls Rathmore, Co Antrim, his home club. It's also the club where Graeme McDowell learnt the game.
Meanwhile Gavin Moynihan (17) from the Island Golf Club picked up the Irish Amateur Open title at Royal Dublin in April, beating Robin Kind (Netherlands), Mike Miller (USA) and Daan Huizing (Netherlands). Moynihan joins major winners Harrington and Louis Oosthuizen on the list of Irish Amateur Open champions.
Another name that you may not have heard of yet – but we're sure you will in the future – is Kevin Le Blanc (14) from the Island Golf Club. Back in 2009 Le Blanc won the European U12 Championships and this year he won the Irish U15 boys competition.
It's not just the boys that are doing us proud. Stephanie Meadow (20) whose home course is Royal Portrush in Antrim captured the 2012 Ladies British Open Amateur Championship at Carnoustie in Scotland.
Meanwhile twins Leona and Lisa Maguire (17) continue to take the amateur golf world by storm. Leona is ranked sixth in the world on the Women's Amateur Golf rankings and won the Irish Women's Close Amateur Championship at the County Louth Golf Club for the second time in her career in June. Her sister Lisa won the Spanish Ladies Open Amateur and the European Women's Individual Amateur Championships in 2011.
The future looks bright!

2016 has quickly come to an end – we've had a lot of food, booze and celebration to end what was an amazing yet crazy year. So how do we kick start 2017 in style? How do we actually achieve the goals that we set for the new year instead of push them aside like every other new year's resolution? Here are 5 kick ass ways to start your 2017 with success.
Try new things. This is so simple yet easily forgotten. We all have a routine that we often get stuck in from day to day which means we neglect the option we have to try new experiences. This can involve anything from making new friends to something more extreme like sky diving. Trying new things can expand our mind and contribute positively to our life. Commit to doing something new everyday for as little as a week and see how this can change your perspective. Some everyday things that you can consider doing include – yoga, eating vegetarian, sleep for a full 8 hours a night, listen to a new genre of music, dedicate some time with your partner minus your phone/laptop. As simple as this sounds, there are so many small things that are part of our routine that can make doing these things difficult. So try new things this year and see how positive your life can become.
Keep an open mind. My biggest pet peeve of life is people who have a close mind. For people to live in the 21st Century and still not accept certain lifestyles in society is kind of embarrassing. The way we grow and the circumstances that we live in adapt us to think a certain way. We're conditioned to how we should feel towards something in society. However, allowing our minds to be open and accepting is not only a good thing, it can make us feel positive about ourselves and understanding towards others. As corny as it may seem, it's definitely importance – especially since 2016 was filled with violence and rage due to people being closed minded and selfish.
Family time. And no, I don't mean sitting in the lounge room with our faces in our phones! Don't worry, I'm guilty of this as well – it's so hard for us to not touch our phones and check social media. But dedicating family time to your loved ones is something we all need to do. Take out the board games and put away the phones. Take one night away from your weekend and spend it with your siblings and parents – they'll appreciate your company so much more now that you have less and less time.
Create a budget. Set up some financial goals and reach it this year. We are the generation of travel and spending so it's time to cut back and save it for something that counts – even though I can never buy a house since it's so goddamn expensive in Sydney, I'm going to try! Online shopping is probably the biggest weakness of my life – it's just so easy and PayPal makes it even easier. So for 2017, I'm going to set a financial goal to reach by the end of the year and in order to make that goal, I'm going to budget the hell out of my expenses.
Be more active. This is definitely something that we all try to do every single year! It's so hard to do with work, school, social life, catching up on Netflix. Push those excuses aside! Wake up 30 minutes early and do a quick work out at home. My rule is, if you can make excuses for not working out, then you definitely cannot moan and groan about how big your thighs are, how your muffin top is hanging over your favourite jeans, how you can't fit into your dress from last year. So if you're going to complain about your weight, you better be doing something about it. Working out is all about tough love on yourself.
I hope these 5 things can help you kick ass in 2017 – here's to a better year for both you and I!

I did custom security extension and want to debug it. I used to debug it using visual studio by attaching its iexplore.exe process using visual studio 2005 and sql server reporting services 2005. After then, I can debug UILogon.aspx.cs and AuthenticationExtension.cs
in Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.dll. When I set break point, it can reach.
Now I used 2008 version for all application. After I attaching process, it can't reach break point I set. I realize sql server reporting services didn't use IIS and it use another component to hold web app. I may affect it and unable to debug it ? Do I need

Hey Guys,
I've a problem with my Visual Studio.

There is no error message just closing the window. I restored a backup of my windows from the time before updating it and it helped, i could open aspx pages in the design view till the update has been installed again automatically after rebooting the pc. I can't disable windows updates, cause it's my pc at work and safety is very important. I hope you could help me out of this disaster.

This is the second of two articles discussing the extremely rich design-time features of the .NET Framework. Part 1 discussed the basics, showing you where to start and how to extend your control implementation through attributes and interfaces, as well as their effects on the property browser, code serialization, and other controls. Part 2 continues the journey by concentrating on design-time functionality that you can implement beyond your components and controls, including TypeConverters, UITypeEditors, and Designers. It would be impossible to cover everything you can do in two short articles, which is a testament to just how all-encompassing and flexible the design-time capability of the .NET Framework is.

Visual Studio .NET provides support for designing rich features into your controls and components, allowing you to set properties, set form placement, inherit from base classes, and much more. So how does Visual Studio .NET do all this? What does the Windows Forms designer do? What's the difference between a control and a component? How does Visual Studio integrate your controls so that they can access features of the .NET Framework?In this article, the authors answer these common questions by building a clock control and taking the reader along for the ride. In building the control, hosts and containers are illustrated, the property browser is explained, debugging is discussed, and a general overview of the design-time infrastructure is presented.

How would an English speaker feel if his car's owner's manual was written in German or if the dash board markings were written in Japanese because the car was manufactured in that country? This is an experience common to computer users all over the world who don't speak English as their primary language, and it's becomming more important. The Microsoft .NET Framework not only makes it possible to build international applications, but many of the tools such as Visual Studio .NET make it quite easy. This article looks at internationalization with .NET and presents real tools you can use to make all of your Windows Forms applications global-ready.

Smart Device Extensions (SDE) for Visual Studio .NET allow programmers to develop applications for the .NET Compact Framework, a new platform that maintains many of the features of the .NET Framework in a version optimized for handheld devices. This article shows how SDE provides access through Visual Studio .NET to a variety of .NET classes for devices running Windows CE, including classes for creating user interfaces. Data access classes and Web Services for the .NET Compact Framework are also explained. Following that overview, a sample Web Service called XMLList is built. Then the UI-the XMLList client-side application-is created.

The new Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Toolkit for Visual Studio 6.0 provides the infrastructure for developers to build, expose, and consume Web services. With a few exceptions that are outlined in the toolkit, the SOAP Toolkit complies with the SOAP version 1.1 specification. It includes the Remote Object Proxy Engine (ROPE), a Service Description and Code Generation Wizard, and code that provides ASP and ISAPI reference implementations of SOAP listeners. This article describes the tools and the object model of the SOAP Toolkit, and then demonstrates ASP and ISAPI implementations of a functional Web service using this toolkit.

Today i have xp pro with visual studio 2005 and going to change to windows 7 with 64 bit.
Will upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 with 64 bit.
Is that a problem going from visual stuidio 2005 (32bit) to visual studio 2010 (64bit) ? Anything i should think about or if anybody had problems with this ?
The server I will deploy my webapplication is windows server 2003 (32bit).Will it be ok to deploy webapplications that are build in vs2010 (64 bit) but deployed on a server with 32 bit ?
Maybe this is obvious to some people but I have to ask cause I'm not sure about this.
Thanks in advance

Baltimore's biggest supermarket chains are fighting back against "nontraditional" food sellers, hanging on to market share after being battered for several years by wholesale clubs and mass merchandisers, according to a newly published study.
Basics/Metro, SuperFresh, Valu Food and Mars all have gained slightly larger pieces of Baltimore's nonrestaurant food dollar, according to a widely followed annual survey to be published today by Food World, a Columbia trade paper, and Giant's market share is stabilizing after losses in recent years.
The gains, for the year ending March 31, came in spite of the fact that chains such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and BJ's Wholesale Club continue to open stores and increase competition for food sales.

When a family breaks up it is hard for everyone, especially children.
Parents need to move from being a couple to being partners in parenting. How they handle this and deal with any conflict has a big impact on how children cope.
Children need the love and support of both parents as they adjust to the changes. It's important that they feel safe and secure.
The content of topic comes from a Parent Easy Guide developed by Parenting SA - A partnership between the Department for Education and Child Development and the Women's and Children's Health Network South Australia.
Contents of this topic
Parents can feel many emotions when a relationship ends. They might feel:
Children can be surprised and confused when parents break up, even if there has been lots of fighting. They may feel:
Children's feelings about the break-up can be just as strong as parents' feelings.
How children react to a family break up depends on their age, development and temperament.
Young children may not have the words to say how they feel, and can show it in the way they behave. Some may:
School-aged children are more able to talk about their feelings but they may also act them out. They might:
Children often don't adjust to the new situation all at once. They may seem OK for a while and then show signs of not coping.
Adolescents need time and space to work out how they feel about their family breaking up. It can add stress at a time when they are dealing with rapid physical and emotional changes. They are becoming more independent but still need structure and routine, and the security of their family.
It can be easy to think that children and young people are doing OK if they don't talk about the break-up. Some might not want to tell you how they feel in case you get angry or upset.
Fighting and tension between parents causes children the most stress in a break up. It helps to keep the focus on the children, not problems in the relationship.
It is not easy to make the change to a new family set-up and living arrangements. It takes time and children will need your support as they settle into their new life.
It will help children to cope if you explain in ways they can understand. Answer their questions and listen to their feelings. Tell children:
Don't ask younger children to decide things such as who they want to live with. This puts a lot of pressure on them and forces them to choose between their parents. As children mature, they can have more say in decisions that affect them.
It is important not to burden children with adult problems or to look to them for emotional support. Give children a sense that you are in control, even if you don't feel it at times. Let them know you are OK even when you seem upset, and that you expect things to get better.
It's best not to speak badly about the other parent in front of children. This really hurts them. They are very loyal and love you both.
It can also help children to cope if you:
When children are spending time in 2 homes, it is important that they feel they belong in both. Having a space in the home that is theirs and somewhere to put their things can help.
Children can adjust to different rules and parenting styles in 2 homes. It helps if parents don't undermine each other and can agree on important things like behaviour and bedtimes. Sometimes you may have to accept that you do things differently.
Try to make hand-over times stress-free. It can help to be on time and reliable, and flexible with arrangements when needed.
When children spend time in 2 homes, it is important that they feel they belong in both.
The Family Law Act (1975) says that when a family breaks up, children have the right to:
Some parents make a verbal agreement about the care of their children. For other parents, it can work better and avoid confusion if things are written down in a plan. If you can't agree or you feel unsafe trying to work things out, a family dispute resolution provider can help you work out a parenting plan.
A parenting plan should be based on what is best for each child in their unique situation. It needs to be as clear as possible to avoid conflict, and flexible enough to meet the changing needs of children and parents. It can help to include how you will work things out if you disagree about something.
It is important for a parenting plan to include:
Where children live and spend their time can affect property settlement and child support payments. It is important to get legal advice when making parenting arrangements.
When you work out a parenting plan together you can change it at any time if you both agree. However, no-one can make either parent stick to it. If you want to make a plan that is legally binding, you need to apply to the court for a Parenting Order.
Parenting plans need to focus on what is best for your children.
If you can't agree on a parenting plan you will need a certificate from a family dispute resolution provider to apply to the court for a Parenting Order. They can also give you a certificate to apply to the court if the matter is urgent, or if there is child abuse or family violence.
Parenting orders made by the court are legally binding so it is a good idea for both parents to get legal advice first. You will have to go back to court if you want to change the order. The court can impose penalties if a parent doesn't do what is outlined in the Parenting Order.
On-going conflict has a big impact on babies, children and young people. Seeing or hearing a parent being hurt verbally, emotionally or physically is similar to children being hurt themselves. Children may:
It is important that parents resolve issues and avoid tension and conflict. Even if you can't agree, try to be calm and polite towards each other.
Seek help if you are finding it hard to deal with the break-up. The better you cope, the better you are able to help your children.
It is very important to get help if there is violence in your home, or you have trouble managing your anger.
Talking with your doctor is a good place to start. Counsellors can help you work out how best to help your children. It might help to get counselling for your children so they have someone independent to talk to.

The Butterfly Effect ....
14 comments:

1) how much experience does one need to be president?
2) how has hard headed helped stop terrorism around the world?

1) Experience? Apparently none. Lincoln was a one-time legislator before he won,... although I think using him as a de facto example of the quality of persons running nowadays is being very kind. I think experience is subjective. Hopefully we agree that all things being equal, the person with the most and best experience in running ANYTHING as large as the bloated beaurocracy (sp?) of the US should have an advantage over a person never having had executive experience.
2. How has hard-headed stopped terrorism? I have no idea and I did not imply that it did. I was looking at the question via the prism of a potential terrorist, not with any pragmatism or logic.

I am holding out hope that Tancredo will make it onto the GOP ticket.
But it's just WAY too early for all the media frenzy, IMO.

Let me add to reply number 2. I really have a lot of angles through which I look at this mess over there. But in my clinical view, if us being over there was NOT affecting terrorism, and was NOT having SOME effect, then why to hell are the terrorist, shiite, Iranian interests et al, fighting so hard against us? I know secterian reasons rule the roost, but it seems like people from all walks of life -mostly muslims with fascist intent-, are making their way to Iraq. It is ground zero for their cause, and that to me is at least SOME proof that the success or failure of our presence there will have an effect at some level.

Tancredo has the yoke around his neck of being seen as a vile anti-immigrant legislator.... sort of like a one-trick pony. Sure he gets the base revved up on issues of immigration, but like Hillary, the man is just a pointedly divisive figure. He would not get past Iowa. I like the guy and don't think he has a malicious bone in his body, but the media has painted him otherwise.

The first and greatest problem in this country appears in two parts. First, we have way too many politicians (you can define that any way you please, and you'll probably be right), and second, we have way too few statesmen.
I define a statesman as one who uses wisdom gained from a good education, solid experience, a judicious outlook, a desire to serve his or her country out of love for our ideals, and uncommon devotion to his or her fellow citizens -- all above self interests.
Politicians, like sex offenders, should be required to register with local law enforcement and agree to ankle monitoring. These are people who would make that 900 mile trip without a diaper.
I have no doubt but that Obama is a genuinely fine fellow. That does not make him qualified, or even suitable to become our president.

If the dems make alot of progress and work with the repubs without caving when up against a hard spot, they can take the presidency but it will be a white guy who wins with possibly Obama as V.P. If you were wondering, the white guy will be either Edwards or Gore who will enter by mid- to late-summer.

Your definition of politicians have placed you up there in the NSA's "persons to be monitored" list...
kidding aside, you are the gospel. Statesmen (stateswomen?) is something lacking in today's discourse. Everybody is ape-ing for C-SPAN instead of speaking to the 3 people who are sitting in the chamber representing US, the voters.

Welcome to Casa de Truth-Pain. A place known to be pro-choice... on EVERYTHING! :-)
As I wrote on QuakerDave's blog, Barack Obama's 15 seconds of Warholian fame will come to a sudden stop once Hillary unleashes her war-room rodents on his skinny ass.

Hey Truth. been a while. how ya been?
my thoughts on obama: he's good but not great. I like his message and I think it needs to be heard, but I don't think he's going to stick around long. I saw his speech announcing his candidacy and I was impressed with how he said that people may think i have audacity to run for president with such little experience. To me that shows that he;s down to earth. not like one of those congressmen from some hole in the wall who believe they can run for president and their campaigns last at most a week.
i'm still hoping gore enters and kicks all the other democrats out in the primaries.
god it feels good to be back to ranting. :)

A long shot prediction? McCain-Leiberman.
Obama will fade before the year is out, and Hilary is the horse to beat. The GOP has offered nothing that excites me. Romney is the best of the worst. I think GOP politics the next two years will be about as exciting as the Bob Dole (remember him?) campaign in '96.
I am still waiting for Gingrich. A Newt-Rudi ticket would be nice.

- Truth-Pain said...
Jesus girl,... and I though I took long-winded vacations! Welcome back, I look forward to reading your rants.
I like Romney and Rudy simply for their "do-er" tag. They got things done as executives. Sure there are flaws that we see in any candidate, reflecting our own preferences and biases, but to me, someone who has a track record of getting SOMETHING done goes a long way to winning my vote.
As to Newt?.. i love his books, the way he entwines the lessons of history into policy,... but the media has already painted him the big bad voodoo. He does not stand a chance.

- benning said...
Seems to me that the Dems tout experience when they want to belittle the Republican. The MSM falls right in line.
As for Obama ... he's a lightweight, a by-the-party-line liberal Democrat.
I was hoping Fred Thompson would run, or at least have his name bandied about. But it looks like that won't happen.
I'll go with Giuliani. Romney has flip-flopped all over the place. McCain can't be trusted for much of anything. Condi won't run. Newt lost my support when he whined about where he had to sit on Air Force One.
- 2/14/2007
- Truth-Pain said...
Fred Thompson.... I'd almost forgotten about him. I love his Tennesse drawl... and his acting as well,... I just have no clue on what platform he walks on,...
You are right about the Flip-flop concern on Romney, although he says its an "evolution" of thought not a change in philosophy. Nice tap-dancin' but nobody buys it. Then again, who doesn't "evolutionize"?(a little Bush-ism there...)

Low-carbon innovators win Carbon Trust awards
The Carbon Trust today announced the winners of its 2009 awards for low-carbon innovation. Top prize went to Artemis Intelligent Power for its work on replacing traditional hydraulics with its Digital Displacement technology, which uses computer-controlled high speed solenoid valves.
Introducing the awards, Carbon Trust boss Tom Delay said that over 250 entrants had been whittled down to a second round of 64 and then to 16 finalists. He added that the overall standard of "cleantech innovation" had been so high, even among the non-finalists, that the judges had determined to also make "highly-commended" awards in every category.
The category winners were Artemis Intelligent Power in the Power section, TMO Renewables in the Transport section for technology that turns waste biomass into ethanol, CamSemi in the Buildings section for its work on power management electronics, and Oxtensis in the Industry section for its development of high temperature sensors for turbines and process control.
Two other awards were made for the most innovative applications of clean technology - Commercial Group took first prize for the private sector for revolutionising its fleet of vehicles, while the top prize for the public sector went to Oxford City Council for an ambitious energy management programme that includes plans to site three wind turbines on council land.
Ted Wiggams, VP of operations for CamSemi, said that the award would be a big boost for the company's employees, and would help it win investors and customers alike.
"It's always good to get recognition - it's great for our public profile and it is vindication for the people in the company," he said. "We were spun out of Cambridge University some years ago into what was then a not very sexy industry, but since then we've been in the right place at the right time with the right technology."
A full list of the winners and runners-up is available on the Carbon Trust website.

TMS Health Solutions is devoted to helping their patient to find relief from their clinical depression. Clinical depression is a very serious ailment that can even be life-threatening. There're many medications available to help treat this type of depression, but unfortunately some people are unresponsive to these medications. That's where TMS therapy San Francisco comes in. TMS or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is used to treat clinical depression that is not cured by standard medications.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation's a therapy that utilizes brain stimulation to emit pulses of the electromagnetic type to the brain. This causes nerve cells to become stimulated, and this helps to improve the feelings of depression that someone may be feeling.This type of treatment only takes about 30 to 60 minutes for a session over a period of four to eight weeks.
An astounding 14 to 17 percent of the population will experience Major Depressive Disorder, or clinical depression, at least once during their lifetime. 40 percent of these clinical depression sufferers will not respond to medicine and need an alternative cure. TMS therapy San Francisco has been found to be effective when nothing else seems to work. This type of therapy is non-invasive and patients receiving this treatment can resume their lives after receiving the treatment.
TMS Health Solutions not only offer psychiatric care to their patients, but they also monitor the progress of their patients and adjust their treatment if needed. They have adopted the butterfly as their logo to symbolize the progress and transformation that their patients go through. It also symbolizes the hope of a better and more beautiful life-free from the grip of depression.
Clinical depression is serious mood disorder that will affect 6.7 percent of the population at least once this year and at least 14 percent of the population will experience it at least once in their life. 40 percent of these patients will have a form of depression that will not respond to treatment and will need an alternative type of treatment to help them to function.
TMS has been proven to greatly reduce the symptoms of depression by an impressive 50 percent after six weeks of treatment and without any symptoms of remission. TMS therapy Parnassus is giving hope to patients who have lost hope. It is an alternative treatment for those immune to medications and is a way for them to get their normal lives back.
