Well as first time visitors to ALT-C, we are loving it so far!
University Place in which the conference is held
In terms of sessions, the day kicked off with an intro, then a popular keynote speech from Eric Mazur (Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University), who discussed some research his group has done on gender issues in science courses and on the effectiveness of classroom demonstrations.
Next up was James Clay who talked about the history of tablets and how they have now gone mainstream – almost every family member is using one. Tablets are now in the classrooms and in the hands of learners.
James joked about how, regarding hardware, we should have now moved on from the USB stick! He also noted consumption and that tablets reduce the journey time to information, and anyone can now access hundreds of years of news.
Pilots for tablets in the classroom were discussed and James asked the audience to reflect on why people are still piloting tablets, when so many pilots have already been done? He suggested that we should use the masses of existing research, and look at future technology of 10 or even 20 years ahead, and start researching and piloting that now. Interesting point.
Following James's session was Aaron Sloman, who unfortunately had some technical problems and was unable to show his slides or use notes! This considered, he still delivered a brilliant session on computational thinking. This is a phrase that comes from computer science professor, Jeannette Wing. Aaron works to add motivation to computational thinking, which he describes as information processing. He referred to some interesting squirrel proof bird tables and windmill examples and explained that these were human designed.
Aaron went on to say that in education, when you experiment and make observations, there are thousands of factors to consider that can be uncontrolled in the classrooms, for example what toys were they using, what equipment, where etc.
He also asked, can we build machines that learn? We have databases and programs for example search engines – can learner's minds work in this way? All good questions to consider.
Aaron suggested that we need to have a deep theory about what goes on in learners minds – which we don't at the moment.
He ended with the question – what happened before there were teachers? We need to think about biological evolution and understand why things must be the way they are. He used various examples for this throughout the session such as gravity, the space within a triangle if you move the points, shapes and motion.
In the afternoon at ALT-C in the main theatre, Leena Vainio, who had travelled all the way from Finland, delivered a session on adult students as peer learners. Leena is the research director at HAMK University of Applied Sciences and chair of the Finnish E-learning Association.
Leena Vainio session
Leena began by explaining how she uses remote working a lot as she lives in Helsinki and the university is some 100kms away in Hameenlinna. The university is also in seven different locations, so E-learning works very well for this institution.
She made some points stating that formal learning is not enough anymore, and digital literacy skills demand new ways of teaching and learning. Peer learning is collaboration and communication that has advantages such as sharing, trust and respect and peers can motivate and give meaning.
There was an example given about a project where adult students would gain digital literacy skills by using networks. They used elements or self organised learning using methods and tools such as recorded online sessions, team projects and online meetings. Creative tools that were successfully used included TeamSpeak3, Facebook. Twitter, LinkedIn, Moodle and Delicious.
Elizabeth Hartnell-Young followed Leena's session. Elizabeth had also travelled a long way to be at ALT-C 2012, all the way from Australia. Her session was reflecting on system-wide digital learning environments for schools, taking about a Ultranet – a learning environment that Victoria, Australia has developed.
Two years on, Elizabeth demonstrated the proven successes of these technology environments used in schools.
The day was really insightful, covering on many different areas and learning technology topics. This is not even covering half the excellent stuff that was on throughout the day!
We also met lots of nice new folks on our stand and had some interesting conversations. Looking forward for what's in store on day two at ALT-C 2012!

Suspiria (UK - BD RB)
The Wilson Bros eagerly check out the Blu-ray release of Argento's classic...
A disorientating, mind-bending descent into total madness. An excursion into the dark side of magic and witchcraft. A fairytale for adults. Dario Argento's 1977 masterpiece Suspiria has been has been called all of the above over the years, and much more. Anyone reading this will already be familiar with both the story and the film, and have probably read great swathes of critical dissection, so we won't go treading ground so well-worn, and just give you a few of our personal observations before diving into that which most are eager to learn: how does it look and sound?
The plot of Suspiria—for the precious few who reading that are unfamiliar with it—sees young ballet student Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper) arriving in Germany at 10:40pm local time in the midst of an intense thunderstorm. After a Hellish taxi-ride to a prestigious dance academy, Suzy witnesses a student fleeing the building and two others have been murdered. Their new American pupil is perched on the edge of darkness, as witchcraft fills the air and more girls go missing. More and more macabre events occur and Suzy tries to fathom out the secrets behind the shadowy institution she has entered, but she realises that she could be the next person to die in a mysterious fashion. Can Suzy stay alive long enough to crack the mysterious secret of the Tanz Akademie or will she become another victim of the infamous witch known as the Black Queen?
There has traditionally been the lobby who seek 'way out' movies for the purposes of watching them under the influence to blow their minds—you know, like those annoying hippies who meticulously timed it so that the acid they dropped hit them exactly during the 'stargate' sequence in 2001. We personally despise such hollow practices, but Suspiria is one of the few mind-expanding films which gives you a bigger headf*ck when watching it sober. With your senses operating at full capacity, they are more exposed for Argento to play with, like Lawrence Olivier poking around an open root canal.
The whole story of Suspiria is that of the very best tale told around the campfire, using staples of the genre in a more visceral light than the gentle aroma of toasted marshmallows will allow. Witches, black magic, eerie woods, bats, maggots and other elements are artfully arranged, with the red walls of the Tanz Akadamie looking like a gingerbread house as its students are lured in, never to return. The script is keen to let the audience in on the campfire tale notion, with one of our favourite scenes echoing this, as Sarah tells Suzie all she knows about the goings-on during lights-out.
There have been many who have accused Dario Argento of being a director who embodies style over substance. Whilst it is true that Suspiria is a film where the main purpose is to create a disorientating style that strives to capture the surreal quality of a fevered bad dream, the story and dialogue are strong enough to service the visuals and enhance the feeling of dread the viewer experiences as the story gets progressively darker. Argento bathes the screen in bright, saturated colours—blues and reds being the most prominent, but greens and yellows also make prominent appearances. There can be few who dispute that these colour schemes echo the tones of a dark night around the camp fire, and Suspiria works so much better than someone yelling 'BOO' at an opportune moment.
With his previous film, Profondo Rosso, Argento put the answer to the mystery right in plain sight of the audience, relying on the more astute to pick up on such an audacious move. Suspiria does the something strikingly similar, with Suzy informing Madam Blanc of the inscrutable words she heard that fateful night, not knowing that the 'three irises' she speaks of are right in front of her. Argento brilliantly lays out the shot with Harper on the extreme left, Bennett placed far right and the mysterious irises exactly between the two of them, visually showing that the answer lies just beyond the flowers. A satanic story with a Giallo twist? It rarely gets better than this!
Much has been made of Suspiria being an adult fairytale and there are certainly elements in the story and the style that give this some truth; door-handles are placed at roughly shoulder height, giving the impression that the young women in the academy are either childlike or that they have found themselves in a giant's castle. The original story came from a tale Suspira co-writer (and Argento paramour) Daria Nicolodi was told by her grandmother, and there can be no better way for a tale of terror to be conceived, terror passed down through generations. It seems so very fitting that we were given a copy of Suspiria as a Christmas present from our grandmother years ago.
As much an integral part of Suspiria as the visual aspect is the music score, provided by Goblin (or The Goblins, depending on where you look)—Goblin had previously co-scored the music to Argento's Profondo Rosso; they provided the more avant-garde rock tracks, where Georgio Gasslini composed more jazzy/traditional music. The music that Goblin realised for Suspiria was a progression from what had gone before and allowed them to really cut loose and propel themselves into the dark waters of the completely bizarre; the disorientating visuals are perfectly complimented by a music score that throws in virtually everything into (appropriately enough) a cauldron and the results accentuate and enhance the madness seen on screen.
In his review of the time, critic Alexander Walker described Suspiria's music score as sounding as if 'five hundred cats are having their tails tramped on in unison'—this is opinion is simultaneously appropriate and dismissive, as though it is a surreal way of summing up the unconventional musical nature of Goblin's work in the film, it also seems to imply that their efforts were slapdash and unmusical. The composition that plays during at the start of the movie is entitled 'Opening to Sighs' and interestingly mirrors the first fifteen minutes of the film, by starting off pianissimo and steadily getting louder and louder until it reaches an almost deafening climax, then settles down into a calming stretch that allows the viewer to relax before the cinematic and musical tension is ratcheted up once again.
The cast, made up of an eclectic international mix, are variable, but the best performances come from the more seasoned actors. Jessica Harper turns in a fabulous performance, perfectly embodying the innocent abroad; Harper has big wide dark eyes that almost seem to radiate youthful innocence and that allows the audience to identify with her in a manner that was rarely seen in many Italian horror/exploitation movies of the period. Argento's casting of protagonists in his previous movies had been something of a hit-and-miss affair (with Tony Musante in Bird with the Crystal Plumage and James Franciscus in Cat O' Nine Tails being, respectively, the strongest and the weakest), but Harper stands alongside the best of the leads in all of Argento's movies.
Alida Valli is great as the fearsome dance instructor, Miss Tanner; during her youth, Valli was heralded as the next Greta Garbo, but such high expectation were never realised, even though she turned in excellent performances in many roles in movies from a wide variety of directors. The sense of frustration that Valli must have had seems to be channelled into the performance in Suspiria, as Miss Tanner comes across as seething henchwoman full of broken dreams as annulled aspirations. Tanner is quick to act upon anyone or anything that threatens the coven and ensures that such a threat is eliminated in a very terminal manner.
Joan Bennett brings all of her decades of acting experience to bear in the role of Madame Blanc, the second-in-command of the coven. Bennett came from an acting family and radiates an almost regal screen presence each time she appears on the screen, silently screaming 'grande dame' at the audience.
As fearsome and authoritarian as Miss Tanner and Madame Blanc are, they are—to quote George Sanders in Psychomania—'merely servants of a higher power', and their mistress would be the mysterious Helena Marcos, who is mentioned throughout the film and we are teased when her silhouette is shown midway through, leading to the big reveal during the film's climax.
As most of you will know, Suspiria eventually became the first part of Argento's 'Three Mothers' trilogy, with Inferno and The Third Mother (a.k.a. The Mother of Tears) being the subsequent instalments. Though the latter two had took place in New York and Rome, neither of them managed to match the fairytale-like quality that the Black Forest setting had in Suspiria. With Inferno being the sequel to Argento's international hit, certain elements of the two become intertwined, one affecting your perception of the other in a bubbling cauldron of evil.
To illustrate what we mean, how about this: when blind pianist Daniel is ripped apart by his faithful guide-woofer, the dog makes a break for it when two figures chase him off, one stopping to examine the body, the other setting off after the carnivorous canine. Most see this scene as is, but with Inferno imprinted on our brains, we have to wonder if Daniel might have been clinging on to life, only to have one of his Samaritans give him the coup-de-graze, as happened to the poor schmuck in New York who crossed the Three Mothers. It's probably apropos of nothing, but wouldn't it be cool if the witches all had their equivalent of 'cleaners' to make sure the job is done?
Kindly indulge us in such fanciful fluff once again, but another - almost subliminal—carry over into another Argento movie comes with Phenomena. Both films feature a howling, eerie wind which brings with it madness, as the German kind foreshadows acts of murderous witchery, while the Swiss variety induces insanity to those it encompasses. To know Argento's work is to love his pulsating brain, and it was Suspiria which really entrenched him in our black little hearts.
We have all heard about the problems the Italian Blu-ray copy of Suspiria had, but has Blighty managed to pull something special out of the bag? This is what you came here to read, so let's make like a towel and press on…
Suspiria was originally released on Blu-ray in Italy last year amidst much grumbling from some of the more hardcore fans of the film. There were issues with colour-timing and general issues with the colour palette during the remastering process, along with other issues. We were recently informed (confidentially, of course—we aren't going to reveal the identity of our informant) that the same 2007 hi-def remaster of Suspiria (supposedly approved by director of photography Luciano Tovoli) that formed the basis for the Italian Blu-ray has been used for the UK Blu, but we have heard that some of the issues with the Italian one have been fixed. The result is a copy of Suspiria that in terms of image information is head and shoulders above any home format release of the movie; there are moments when faces appear slightly bleached out when strong light colours are the primary pallet in a scene, but generally this is a pleasing transfer.
Take a look at the comparison image below: note how the brown digital blobs over Harper's face have been removed, being just one of many corrections to the Cine-Excess edition. Oh, don't judge the image from this picture, as we had to scale it down using…gulp…Paint…
The DTS-HD Master Audio is pretty damn impressive. When originally released theatrically, Suspiria was mixed into 6-track for discrete surround, and those who were lucky to see it in the few screens equipped to play in that way were all bowled over by the aural experience. The LaserDisc carried a very nice Dolby Surround approximation of the discrete mix, and was a really entertaining track. Most reading this will know that the Anchor Bay digital mixes were fudge-jobs, with a number of unforgivable errors made during the processing stage. We can happily report that most of these obnoxious glitches have been corrected for the CineExcess release, coming at you in 5.1 for your viewing pleasure.
The crucial 'Three Irises' line is as it should be, giving the astute viewers the tantalising clue early on in the movie. The thunderclaps which were utterly wimpy before are now encompassing, and finally follow the casting of a spell on our hapless heroine. The breathing sounds of evil are restored to a sequence where they had previously been left out entirely. Best of all, the music of Goblin practically kicks its way out of your speakers, and it's doubtful that the guys will experience their work in higher definition. Doubters can breathe easier with this excellent example of restoration.
Cine-Excess has gone out of its way to produce some exclusive special features for this release of Suspiria of Blu-ray.
Audio commentary: Film journalists Alan Jones and Kim Newman were on the audio commentary for Blue Underground's Bird with the Crystal Plumage and their pairing worked so well that they have been brought back to give their thoughts on Suspiria. Jones has been involved with the director since the early 80s and his intimate knowledge on all things Argento is invaluable. There is a raft of information about the production, with the two sharing the same infectious sense of fun they did on the Bird track. It is certainly worth your time, in contrast to commentaries which come with new movies, churned out just to add perceived value to the disc. Having said all this, it would have been nice if Jones had corrected Newman on the correct pronunciation of the word 'giallo', as the bearded-one keeps embarrassingly mispronouncing the bloody thing every time.
Fear at 400 Degrees: This documentary, subtitled 'The Cine-Excess of Suspiria', clocks in at thirty-four minutes and is hosted by genre writer Xavier Mendik. It also features contributions from director Dario Argento, Goblin head-honcho Claudio Simonetti, journalist Kim Newman, director Norman J Warren and film graduate Patricia McCormack. This lightly covers the origins and production of Suspiria, along with addressing the issues of misogyny (which Argento amusingly dismisses by saying that he is an egalitarian and kills an equal number of men and women in his films, but he loves women and therefore pays special attention when it comes to despatching them cinematically). The socio-political times in Italy are examined and provide an interesting background into how these shaped the young Argento's moviemaking efforts. The director himself is as candid as usual, Simonetti is great fun, Newman is informative, Warren expresses his love for the film without ploughing headlong into teeth-clenching pretentiousness, whereas McCormack does.
Suspiria Perspectives[i]: This featurette consists of footage of the participants from the same interviews that was used for [i]Fear at 400 Degrees. Director Norman J Warren, musician Claudio Simonetti and film historian Patricia McCormack all speak at greater length about how Suspiria affected them all. It begins with ten minutes of McCormack waxing pretentiously on the subtexts of the film, whilst simultaneously kneading and shaping an invisible ball of dough; things look up when genial Norman J Warren speaks for fifteen minutes on how Suspiria influenced him and finally, Simonetti speaks candidly on his musical origins, how he came to work with Argento and finally his thoughts on what he describes as the best soundtrack he ever produced. These three interviews should really have been broken up into individual featurettes, but they work well enough here. Warren and Simonetti's segments really enhance the viewing experience, whereas McCormack's is basically all of what appears in Fear at 400 Degrees, but with a few extra bits and pieces.
This is Cine-Excess: This ten minute item comes across as a mission statement from the folks at Cine-Excess, as they inform the viewer as to what requirements are necessary for a film to feature on their label. Xavier Mendik is your uncomfortable-looking host as he explains what Cine-Excess is all about. He openly calls all the movies on his label 'trash' and that is what we take issue with— Suspiria is far from 'trash' and it is insulting that it is associated with such a damning description. Anyhoo, there are clips from what are almost certainly forthcoming titles, including Jack Hill's The Big Bird Cage, Dick Maas' Amsterdamned, Pupi Avati's The House with Laughing Windows, Ron Howard's Grand Theft Auto and Steve Carver's Big Bad Mama.
It's weird, but we first ran into Mr Mendik about sixteen years ago at the University of Kent, which hosted the Dario Argento Film Conference, where he was part of the panel along with Alan Jones. Granted we got to see Four Flies on Grey Velvet on the big screen, along with Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Inferno and Tenebrae, but with an audience of miserable, whinging, hung-over arsehole students attending only because they had to, it tempered the experience somewhat. Just for the record, there was no truth to the rumour that the final part of the course was the correct way to ask if customers wanted fries with their purchase...
Oh, and if Mr Mendik is reading this, allow us to put forward our opinion on the 'taking trash seriously' slogan that Cine-Excess has emblazoned upon the cover of Suspiria: though the purpose of this slogan is to encourage debate about what does or does not constitute something being 'trash', it still effectively brands anything that appears on this label as trash. Rant over.
Finally, it should be noted to overseas readers that Cine-Excess' Blu-ray of Suspiria is most certainly region-B locked.
Suspiria is most certainly deserving of its place in the upper echelons of the horror hierarchy. There are still many who dismiss the film as style over substance from a director who cares little for dramatic coherency, but Suspiria is film that seeks to drive the audience to the brink of madness by being an assault upon the senses and succeeds brilliantly. Cine-Excess' Blu-ray corrects many of the flaws that dogged the Italian transfer and the audio improves upon the mistakes of the US Anchor Bay/Blue Underground DVD releases. Put simply, this is the best the movie is going to look for the foreseeable future, so you can plunk down your dough knowing that you are buying the best copy of out there. Buy Suspiria and enjoy.

Reilly fights for fair trial
The Caldwell County Sheriff's Office SWAT team guarded a silent Elisa Baker as she was escorted from a Ford Crown Victoria to Caldwell County Superior Court for a brief hearing Wednesday afternoon.
Once inside, a full staff of sheriff's office deputies lined the courtroom and blocked each of the doorways.
The 42-year-old stepmother of Zahra Baker is facing one count of financial identity fraud and obtaining property by false pretenses. She is accused of using her deceased daughter's name to obtain electricity while she and husband Adam Baker lived in Hudson.
Assistant District Attorney Eric Bellas said the purpose of Wednesday's hearing was to formally arraign Baker and set a trial date. However, Scott Reilly, who represents Baker on matters in Caldwell and Catawba counties, argued that his client deserved at least one more administrative hearing before proceeding to trial. He noted that this was the first time Baker, dressed in a pink jumpsuit issued by the Catawba County jail, appeared on these matters since being served with the indictment, and she deserved more time to review approximately 114 pages of discovery before proceeding.
"Why are you treating her any differently than you would someone else?" Reilly asked of Bellas' desire to proceed so quickly in the matter. "We shouldn't even be talking about a trial date at this point. The right thing to do is to allow us more time to review the discovery."
Superior Court Judge Beverly Beal agreed, stating that Reilly's points were "well-taken." Beal said he was reluctant to set a trial date, which is why he placed Baker on the schedule for the July 11 administrative session. Beal also noted that Bellas could announce the state's tentative plans for moving forward in the case.
"Your honor, the state is ready to proceed in this matter and set a trial date of Aug. 1," Bellas said, reminding Reilly that no plea agreement will be extended in these matters.
Reilly said he planned to review the materials between now and July and prepare any necessary motions. He said he still plans to file a motion for a change of venue — even though these matters are unrelated to the death of the 10-year-old Australian girl — due to the publicity of the case. He contends that Baker will not receive a fair trial if the proceedings remained in Caldwell County, but he said the final decision will be made by the judge.
"It's all about making sure she has a fair trial, and I don't think she can get that here," Reilly said.
Baker is charged with the second-degree murder of Zahra Baker, who was reported missing by her father Oct. 9. Elisa Baker was lodged in the Catawba County jail one day later on an obstruction of justice charge. Officers said she admitted to writing a fake ransom note tied to Zahra's disappearance. She also was indicted on bigamy charges in Catawba County.
In Caldwell County, Baker is facing several counts of misdemeanor communicating threats from allegedly threatening to hit two woman she believed were talking about her daughter in 2010. She also was charged with writing worthless checks to area retailers on several occasions in May 2010 and not returning rental property.In addition, Baker failed to appear in court on several traffic offenses that date back as far as March 2004.
Elisa Baker is expected back at the Caldwell County Courthouse on June 13 for the misdemeanor charges and during the week of July 11 for financial fraud. Her next court appearance in Catawba County is scheduled for June 27 for the obstruction of justice and second-degree murder charges.

Older patients with positive attitudes on aging may be more likely to fully recover from severe disability compared with those who can't see the bright side of life, researchers found.
A positive stereotype about aging was associated with a 44% greater likelihood of recovery from severe disability versus negative stereotypes (95% CI 1.01 to 2.06, P=0.04), according to Becca Levy, PhD, from the Yale School of Public Health, and colleagues.
Holding positive stereotypes in older age was also significantly associated with a slower rate of decline in activities of daily living (P=0.001), they wrote in a research letter in the Journal of the American Medical Association online.
"Further research is needed to determine whether interventions to promote positive age stereotypes could extend independent living in later life," the authors noted.
The researchers sampled patients through the Precipitating Events Project study and included 598 mostly female patients (63.3%), with an average age of 79, who belonged to a Connecticut health plan. All participants lived in a community, were nondisabled, and experienced at least 1 month of disability from active daily life during the follow-up period.
The participants were interviewed monthly for up to 129 months and filled out home-based assessments every 18 months over 10 years.
The researchers established age stereotypes by asking participants for five terms or phrases they associated with older individuals and coding those descriptors on a five-point scale, with 1 being most negative (such as decrepit) and 5 being most positive (such as spry). The participants scored a mean 2.12 on this scale.
Participants' severity of disability was based on the number of activities of daily living compromised by disability, including bathing, dressing, transferring, and walking. Three or four compromised activities were considered severely disabled; mild to severe disability required assistance with one to two activities, and mild to no disability required no assistance with activities of daily life.
The researchers grouped patients on whether they held positive or negative age stereotypes and compared rates of recovery from severe or mild injury to no or mild disability. Patients between groups were well-matched for age, sex, nonwhite ethnicity, frailty, education, chronic conditions, mental status, depression, and whether or not they lived alone. The nature of the disabling events was not described.
Patients were significantly more likely to recover from any state of injury to either no or mild disability if they fit positive age stereotypes, including from severe disability to no disability, severe disability to mild disability (HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.46, P=0.02), and mild disability to no disability (HR 1.15, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.29, P=0.02).
The researchers also noted that the positive age-stereotyped patients "showed an advantage in the absolute risk increase percentages" in likelihood of recovery, in addition to "a significantly slower rate of [activities of daily life] decline."
Study limitations included recruitment from a single community and an undersampling of black patients.
The study was funded by grants from NIH and Yale and an investigator award from the Patrick and Catherine Weldon Donaghue Medical Research Foundation.
The authors declared no conflicts of interest.

Whether an avid angler or someone who simply likes to wet a line from time to time, here are some gift ideas that any fisherman would welcome this-or any-time of year.
As I've written many times in the past: from kayaks to houseboats, the one accessory capable of transforming a mere pleasure boat into a capable fishing craft is a rod holder. And as with rods and reels and fishing lures, you can never have too many rod holders aboard a houseboat or fishing tender. With the variety of portable, clamp-on models available today, even a single "fishing pole perch" can serve able duty, allowing the angler to place the holder wherever and whenever one is needed during a particular fishing situation. Most houseboat decks offer square or round railings that serve as excellent bases for rod holders that feature mounts made for these applications and there are several styles of rail-mount, clamp-on holders available, some more portable than others.
Attwood (www.attwoodmarine.com) has a new bolt-on rail-mount base for its popular Pro Series rod holder, which makes for a more secure installation that is still removable. Cabela's offers a simpler single screw-on base for their QuickDraw rod holders ($33 from www.cabelas.com), making it simple to mount and remove.
A new-in-2010 bolt-on base mount made for use on square railings makes the popular Pro Series rod holder from Attwood Marine a great option for anglers who want a more stable, longer term location for a rod holder that can still be repositioned or removed when not needed.
Easy on and off is one of the features that makes the Cabela's QuickDraw rail mount rod holder a good choice for infrequent anglers who want to remove such accessories when they are not fishing.
Any fisherman who uses live bait can always use another minnow bucket, and one of the best has been around a long time. That's because Frabill's (www.frabill.com) distinctive yellow and white Flow Troll bait bucket serves triple duty: it houses minnows topside, making them one-handed accessible via a lockable, spring-loaded lid, allows water to circulate through the bucket when it's suspended over the side, and even allows you to drag the cleverly designed, six-quart bait pail through the water when trolling or drifting.
Some of the most enjoyable fishing I do each season takes place after dark, when friends and family members gather at the stern of the houseboat and fish around a submerged light. The glow attracts baitfish and photo-plankton and eventually the predator fish that follow. There are a variety of portable underwater lights made for fishing, some powered by internal batteries, other models with clips that attach to battery on the boat, as well as others that have plugs to fit into a 12-volt accessory receptacle. Optronics has a line of submersible LED Fish-N-Lites that sell for $23-$40 (www.optronics.com). The internal-battery-powered models are the most adaptable, but all work well, are fun to use and would be a welcome gift to any boat-owning angler I know.
The stainless steel pliers from Rapala (www.rapala.com) are a great choice if you are looking for a tool to help with those odd jobs on the boat. Constructed from stainless steel, the pliers resist rust and will stay beautiful for years. The pliers come with special features not found in other comparable tools and start around $11.
Who can't use an extra pair of sunglasses? Anglers especially are prone to shade loss when they look down into the water just long enough to allow their glasses to slip off their head and into the drink. And polarized glasses are even more important to boaters and anglers who need to cut the glare and see into the water. You can't go wrong giving the gift of (polarized) sight to any houseboater on your gift list.
This time of year many of us are boating and fishing vicariously by reading magazines such as Houseboat or watching fishing shows on cable TV. A better choice than the latter is reading about fishing and the records that have been set over the years. Big: The 50 World's Greatest World Record Catches by Mike Rivkin is a beautiful coffee table- style book with incredibly detailed illustrations of the very fish that set these amazing marks. Each comes with the tale of the catch, making for riveting off-season reading for any angler.
And right now, reading may be as close as many of us get to actually angling!

RVIA Spokesfamily on Hot Streak with Media
July 1, 2010 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association's (RVIA) "National Explore America Family" – author Brad and Amy Herzog and their two young sons – are on the road for their 11th consecutive summer as RV travel spokespeople, celebrating the Centennial year of this family-friendly industry.
Interviewed in every market they've visited for RVIA since the media tour began June 4, the Herzogs' RV travels have made television news in Detroit, Buffalo, N.Y., Rochester, N.Y., Syracuse, N.Y., Providence, R.I., Springfield, Mass., and Hartford, Conn., so far. Newspaper coverage has appeared in additional markets including Boston and Pittsburgh, the RVIA reported.
Winnebago provided a Vista Class A motorhome for the tour, which will take the family to 13 states in total.
"The Herzogs' special appeal to young families, combined with their knowledgeable advice on taking economical, convenient RV road trips, make their media tours extremely effective," said RVIA Vice President and Chief Marketing Office Gary LaBella. "For 100 years, American families have been enjoying this kind of vacation. The Herzogs give the media compelling evidence of why RVing's appeal never fades."
Since their first RV trip, Brad and Amy have logged more than 110,000 miles, visiting all 48 contiguous states. Their sons, Luke, 9, and Jesse, 8, will be visiting their 46th, 47th and 48th states this summer.
"It was a life changing experience," Brad Herzog told the Providence Journal, describing his year-long RV travels with his wife as newlyweds in 1996. "We had just thought of it as a way to get from A to B," he said. "But driving with this big windshield, the movie of America is playing in front of you. And you can stop the film anytime you want and enter the picture."
In addition to serving as an RVIA media spokesperson, Herzog also writes a popular on-the-road blog for GoRVing.com about his family's RV journeys. Read recent accounts of their adventures at http://www.gorving.org/blog/.
Inspired by his RV experiences, Brad Herzog has received critical and commercial acclaim for his travel memoirs – States of Mind and Small World – published by Simon Schuster. His new book, Turn Left at the Trojan Horse, is helping to garner media attention for the tour.

I had this book

I had an older edition of this book years ago. I still
use it for reference!

It's a fair text. The best thing, for me, were the concept
questions. As for the HW problems... *shrugs* They were
okay. For some reason the authors (or author... Walker, I
suspect) are obsessed with penguins.
The other good thing was the Interactive LearningWare. If
your instructor didn't get it on CD, request it, because it's
slow as Christmas online (even with broadband), but it's
worth it. The stuff for optics was especially helpful.
The worked problems/examples in the book are sub-par. In
general the problems are sort of obscure and irrelevent, and
worst of all not helpful for the HW.
Also, the exposition on E&M, especially circuits, is poor.
Overall, though, it's good. Good illustrations, nice glossy
paper, and the separation into multiple volumes only
sometimes annoying.
I used it!

It has some great explanations and shows the long way of everything it is great if you are a why does this work person when you learn a new concept. I like being able to read through the proofs, personally. It also has awesome problems to work, that help prepare you for physics and real world application.

I heard someone say the other day that this book (Halliday, Resnick, etc.) has a wide diversity in its accompanying photos, while Giancoli is lacking in this regard...
Has anyone else sensed this in using these books, or does anyone know where one might find some data about this?

"Fundamentals of Physics" is probably the best book on introductory physics there is.

APP suppliers pulping new bid for sustainability credentials in Kalimantan?
Pontianak, West Kalimantan – NGO observers have claimed that pulp timber suppliers to controversial paper giant Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) are continuing to log tropical forest and dig drainage canals through peat soils in Kalimantan, regardless of the new Forest Conservation Policy (FCP) launched with much fanfare by APP and parent group Sinar Mas last month.
APP, noting that the suppliers have denied breaching requirements of the FCP, is investigating a complaint lodged by the Consortium of Kalimantan's Forest Monitoring NGOs (RPHK)
Over the same period that heavy machinery was apparently engaged in logging and dredging on the two concessions , representatives of both APP and the two supplier companies hosted a meeting 80 km away in provincial capital Pontianak to convince sceptical local NGOs that the FCP was not yet another company greenwashing stunt.
APP has previously announced an end to tropical forest pulping in 2004, 2007 and 2009. On February 5 it hosted a gala announcement that it had halted tropical forest clearing on its own and independent supplier concessions throughout Indonesia on January 31, with heavy equipment impounded pending independent assessment of conservation values and above ground carbon.
RPHK members, who were among those present at the February 26 meeting in Potianak, lodged a complaint on the basis of extensive photographic and video evidence of the work on concessions of PT Asia Tani Persada (ATP) and PT Daya Tani Kalbar (DTK), two of the four companies disclosed by APP as West Kalimantan suppliers to its mills in devastated Sumatra.
RPHK observers familiar with the areas of the two concessions said they contained orang-utan habitat. The promised assessments would have examined whether and where orang-utans are still present.
"We are really concerned to see how heavy equipment is still actively clearing natural forest, digging peat canals and clearing the land in the two supplier's concessions in West Kalimantan. This is a clear violation of the APP's FCP that APP socialized in Pontianak on 26 February," said Baruni Hendri, a spokesperson of the RPHK consortium.
"Our findings showed that APP is not taking their conservation policy seriously, thus making RPHK doubt APP's seriousness on the implementation of their commitment."
APP has issued a statement that "Our policy is clear - there would be no natural forest clearance anywhere in our supply chain and every supplier has been advised of he policy details."
"We contacted the suppliers and both have strongly indicated that they are not in breach of our policy and that the likely cause is concession boudaries that overlap with other industries."
WWF-Indonesia, a member of RPHK with local NGOs, has called on APP and its parent, the giant Sinar Mas Group, to quickly close a loophole allowing mills to continue accepting "stockpiled" mixed tropical hardwoods for an indefinite period, nominating May 5 as giving ample time to clear stockpiles. The evidence of current clearing vindicates concerns that freshly cleared timber will continue to be "laundered" into pulp mills.
"We call on global buyers of pulp and paper to remain skeptical and await independent verification by independent NGOs of the credible field implementation of APP's FCP before making any new purchasing decision," said Anton P. Wijaya, Director Executive of WALHI (Friends of Earth Indonesia) chapter West Kalimantan.
Member groups of the Consortium of Kalimantan Forest Monitoring Volunteers (RPHK) able to provide information in English are WWF-Indonesia (Contact : Ian Hilman, +6282121868624, firstname.lastname@example.com), and TITIAN, an active biodiversity conservation institute for local community sustainable benefits in West Kalimantan (Contact Director, Sulhani +62561-6589198). Other member groups include AKAR, an illegal wildlife crime monitoring network in Borneo, actively raising public awareness about the importance of wildlife protection and their habitat; JPIK Kalimantan Barat, a civil society network that focuses on monitoring effort of the sustainable forest management for Forest Plantation Wood Production Permit; Link-AR Borneo (Lingkaran Advokasi dan Riset), a civil society organization focus on advocacy based on research or investigation related to land plunder and biodiversity degradation, as well as community empowerment ( www.linkarborneo.com); SAMPAN (Sahabat Masyarakat Pantai), a civil society organization focus on advocacy for costal and watershed communities (www.sampankalimantan.org) and LEMBAH, an active institute in Bengkayang District for social and economic empowerment based on environment.

Maria Goll loves being a teacher, but recently she's had to focus less on a textbook and more on a treadmill.
Goll always knew she was at-risk for heart disease. Her father died of acute myocardial infarction as well as many other family members.
Doctors told Goll the trouble with her mitrovalve or aortic valve is genetic because of her family history, Goll has always tried to eat healthy and exercise.
"I walk, I run, I used to bowl, I was an avid boater, deep sea fishing.
I've always eaten healthy, I grew up on a mediterranean diet. I don't eat red meat, I don't eat pork, I only eat chicken and fish and I've been doing that for years" says Goll.
Those proactive measures have kept Goll's cholesterol and blood pressure at normal levels, but it wasn't enough.
"I had two silent heart attacks and never knew I had them, I had no pain" says Goll.
Having a heart attack doesn't mean just crushing chest pain... there are other more subtle symptoms that you may not be aware of.
Local Cardiologist Dr. Samir Patel says typical symptoms are chest pain and shortness of breath, but that actually occurs in about 50 percent of people-- the other half can present very atypically.
Fatigue, weakness, worsening shortness of breath, left arm discomfort, back discomfort, can all be signs of a heart attack."
Women's symptoms are often very different from men. Goll says the only symptom she had was throwing up. She thought she had caught the fly from one of her students. That's one of the symptoms of women not men.
Dr. Patel says Patients at the time may think they have the flu, they may have heart burn for a few days and after a few days they feel better, in all actuality that may be a heart attack."
In Goll's case, doctors discovered she had 90% blockage, and scheduled her for by-pass surgery.
Goll says "I call my new valve Maxine.. it's a pig valve. she's gonna be with me for a while.
I still intend to keep active. I do my therapy and that really builds up your strength faster than you think."
Goll says she believes her healthy lifestyle has kept her alive.
"I think it helped, that's at least made me last this long."
Dr. Patel says it's very important to know your family's medical history.
If anyone in your immediate family has had heart disease then your chances are greatly increased.

Release Date: January 31, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. – This year "tooth fairies" will be guiding more than 800 children and parents through the award-winning Teddy Bear Clinic onto dental cleanings and treatment at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine's 12th annual "Give Kids a Smile Day."
The proceedings will take place in the Squire Hall lobby and dental clinics on the first and third floors of the dental school from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 1. at UB's South Campus.
In addition to Michael Glick, DMD, professor and dean of the dental school, other dignitaries who will be in attendance this year from 10:30 a.m. to noon will be Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-27), Erie County Commissioner of Health Gale R. Burstein, MD, and City of Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown.
Mayor Brown will deliver his annual proclamation endorsing this day as "Give Kids a Smile Day."
Of the 800 students visiting the dental clinics, 400 will be Head Start children.
According to M. Dian ChinKit-Wells, DDS, clinical assistant professor in the UB Department of Pediatric and Community Dentistry, this year's activities have a new theme.
"This year our theme is 'Be a dental hero' because all oral health providers are dental heroes to their patients," said Wells, who has presided over the dental activities for a number of years.
"We are also taking the temperatures and recording the weight of the schoolchildren to get a more complete picture of each child's general health," she added.
While children wait for their appointments, they will watch while Teddy Bears get dental treatment and will also be offered hands-on activities, dental videos, games and oral health instruction and visits by local sports mascots.
A perennial favorite, Mr. Tooth, will be on hand to pose for photos with the kids.
The event is in partnership with the American Dental Association, the New York State Dental Association and the 8th District Dental Society.
Several hundred volunteers, including UB dental school faculty, staff and students; private dentists and their staff; and students and faculty from Erie Community College's Dental Hygiene Program and Equal Opportunity Center's Dental Assisting Program, are donating their time to provide dental care.
The event is part of a national effort to motivate children to adopt good dental health habits early, in order to prevent major problems later.

NEW: General Peter Kilmartin Warns Not to Inflate Prices After Hurricane
Wednesday, October 31, 2012
As Rhode Islanders continue to clean up from super storm Sandy and a state of emergency is still in effect, Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin reminds all retail sellers, whether individual business owners or corporations, not to try to profit from the storm. Rhode Island General Laws 6-13-21 broadly prohibits all retail sellers from increasing prices of any item immediately prior to or during a declared state of emergency by an amount that represents an unconscionably high price. The maximum penalty for those found to have violated the statute is a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) per violation with an aggregate total not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) for any twenty-four (24) hour period.
"While we have not received any complaints as of yet, it is important to remind everyone to be aware of potential price gouging and to report any incidents to our office," said Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin. "I know that the majority of Rhode Islanders do not take this attitude, but unfortunately, sometimes in a crisis there are those who seek to take advantage of the situation."
Anyone who feels they have been the victim of price gouging just before or during the state of emergency declared by Governor Chafee should contact the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Unit at (401) 274-4400. They should be able to identify what they purchased, when and where they purchased it, the price they paid and why they feel that price was recently increased.
In addition to the potential for price gouging, Attorney General Kilmartin offers consumers tips to protect from being ripped off by unscrupulous contractors.
- In the event of power outages and downed tree limbs, utility workers will be working to clear debris and restore utilities across Rhode Island. Be cautious when allowing workers into your house. Any utility worker who is above-board will have identification and will not have a problem showing it to you.
- Be wary of contractors going door to door offering assistance. Avoid any contractors who stop by your house and claim that they have extra materials and offer a big discount.
- Be wary of contractors that only accept cash. Reputable contractors will accept checks or credit cards.
- Check out a contractor before signing a contract or turning over any money. Homeowners should check with the Rhode Island Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board by calling (401) 222-1268 to ensure that a contractor is properly licensed and registered.
- Get all quotes, estimates and work details in writing. This includes a written contract outlining all of the work that the contractor has agreed to perform, the dates the work will begin and is expected to be completed, the total cost of the work, the type and quality of materials to be used, how and when payments will be made and the provisions of warranties on the materials and labor.
- Ask for proof of insurance, and make sure the contractor carries general liability and workers' compensation. If the contractor is not insured, you may be liable for accidents occurring on your property.
- Avoid contractors that require you to pay for everything up front before they begin any work and never pay in cash. Scam artists will take the money and run. If you have to make a partial payment in advance for materials, make the check out to the supplier and the contractor or pay with a credit card.
- Talk to your insurance company, read your insurance policy and contact the Division of Business Regulations/Insurance Division at (401) 462-9532 with any concerns.

A former South Auckland self-described "business coach" - who claimed the Serious Fraud Office fabricated evidence against him - has been sentenced to three years in jail for his role in a mortgage fraud.
Shane Charles Wenzel, 51, was found guilty in October of two charges of using a document with intent to defraud and six charges of using a document dishonestly with intent to obtain pecuniary advantage.
The case against Wenzel followed the sale and purchase of South Auckland properties during a jump in the market between May 2003 and October 2004.
Bankrupt during this time, Wenzel ran business seminars in Takanini and coached "recruits" about "wealth generation".
A number of these pupils bought properties from a friend of Wenzel or companies associated with this person.
The SFO, which brought the case against Wenzel, argued that the discharged bankrupt devised and supervised a scheme where mortgage lenders were deceived into lending money to these "recruits".
According to the SFO, the recruits would not have been given mortgages if the lenders had been aware of their true financial position. In some instances, false employment letters were used that inflated the loan applicants' incomes.
Wenzel was sentenced to three years in prison in the Manukau District Court this morning.
Acting SFO chief executive Simon McArley said this sort of crime had a big impact on vulnerable investors.
"The loss of their investment funds will have irrevocably changed their lives. We remain deeply concerned for all his victims. We will continue to lead the investigation and prosecution of this type of high impact financial crime," McArley said.
Wenzel's main defence at his trial was that the recruits were independent adults and as "aspiring property developers" took advice and made up their own minds about loan applications without his encouragement.
Speaking to the Herald last month, Wenzel claimed the SFO had fabricated evidence during his seven-week trial.
Asked if he was still acting as a business coach, the discharged bankrupt said he was focusing on his health after a stroke 33 weeks ago.
It is the second time Wenzel's case has gone through the court system after he succeeded in getting his convictions quashed in 2010 by the Court of Appeal.
In that Court of Appeal decision, Justices Anthony Randerson, Judith Potter and Paul Heath ordered a retrial on the 35 fraud charges Wenzel was originally found guilty of.
He had already served 11 months of the five years' jail he was sentenced to after the first trial.
According to a 2009 media report, Wenzel has claimed status as tangata whenua and said that he was "adopted" into a hapu.
Judge Gerard Thomas Winter made reference to this in his October judgment against Wenzel and said the accused was at times "challenging" and held unorthodox, often forcefully expressed, life views.

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' recap: Terrifying journey into the mind of Camille Grammer
I thought she was self-aggrandizing. I thought she was a bit of a snob. I thought she wore the baggage of being married to Kelsey Grammer on her sleeve.
Before the show last night, though, I had an inkling that maybe I was being too rough on poor Camille Grammer. Her marriage was imploding, after all.
I was wrong. My mouth hung open like a trout's as the credits rolled, jarred by how dreadful of a woman she seemed to be last night.
Other things happened on the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" this week. The ladies shopped. Adrienne Maloof's uncle died. Lisa Vanderpump and permanent houseguest Cedric made floral arrangements for one of her restaurants. Yet the whole thing was a blur — all that I can remember is Camille. Narcissistic, manipulative, wealth-flashing Camille.
Let's recount:
— Adrienne calls to say she can't come because of her uncle's passing. The first thing Camille does once she's off the phone — after, of course, beckoning for Nicole, the house manager, to come take the phone so she doesn't have to hold it — is express astrological concerns that this could mean something bad for her.
—She goes to see soon-to-be ex-husband Kelsey Grammer — my, Frasier sure is looking old! — and has invited all the wives out there with her. She visits the apartment that she "designed" in an earlier episode. But she laments how small it is. It's "confining," she says, and she's used to more "substantial" estates. She doesn't know if she can manage to live in a home that's a mere 3,000 square feet — which, according to what little knowledge I have of New York City real estate, is a Taj Mahal of an estate in the Big Apple.
—Her mother — who has cancer — lives in New Jersey, but Camille's so busy that she arranges to visit her mother while she gets her nails done. Camille complains to her cancer-stricken mother going through chemotherapy about the exhausting "battery of tests" she had to go through to see if she might have the same disease. She whines of how tired she is, and how difficult her life is — again, to a cancer patient, as she gets her nails done. (Her mother, it appears, didn't get her nails done.)
—Now, the even juicier stuff: We've talked in past weeks about Camille claiming that Kyle told her that no one would be interested in her without Kelsey there. Snippy thing to say, and I stick to what I said before: I don't think Kyle actually said it, but I believe Camille truly believes she did. Even if she did, I don't think it would be without merit. To paraphrase a line Joe Biden once used, a sentence for Camille is a noun, a verb and Kelsey Grammer.
The whole scuffle hung over the New York trip like the ghost of Jill Zarin. ("Get a hobby," anyone?) Kyle preemptively took Camille aside and apologized, calling it a miscommunication. She claimed she would never say something like that. Camille insisted she would, and did, with her eyes strangely bulging from their (cough, cough, surgically tightened) sockets.
But the two ended making up, and hugged. It's all good now, right?
No, no.
At dinner 20 minutes later, according to Lisa Vanderpump's count, suddenly the wounds weren't healed for wounded Camille. It erupted between the two of them in an awkward and totally not-classy dispute that can basically be boiled down to this:
CAMILLE: How dare you call me insecure.
KYLE: You are, you're crazy!
CAMILLE: Why must you keep throwing all these jabs at me?
KYLE: That's B.S., Camille.
And it seems they basically recycled some variant of those lines over and over again. It concluded with Camille saying she hadn't made it up. "I swear on my mother," she said, "who has cancer." (Classy.)
Kyle retorted that she needs psychological help. Immediately.
The screen cut away to an interview with Camille, talking about how she had the upperhand by keeping her cool. "Sorry, Kyle, you lose," she said, with a nefarious cackle.
I was dumbfounded by the spectacle. The show was coming to a close, and I just stared at the screen with the discombobulated gaze of Kim Richards.
O.K., fellow Show Trackers: I need to hear from you on this. Where do you stand on this? We don't have the good fortune of actually seeing the conversation at the center of this squabble. Do you agree with me, and think that Camille manufactured this? Or is Kyle really the one at fault?

I am searching for a way to add a GroupBy functionality to the initial list of database tables generated in a Dynamic Data gridview. I was looking at adding metadata to the individual tables (example below), but I cannot figure out 1.) how the List<MetaTable> VisibleTables could retrieve this information, and 2.) how a GridView could do the correct grouping. Has anyone seen such a solution?

Just been using this for a few days, but love it already.
I was wondering what some of the plans were for things like role/user-level security, or even 'type' security.
For some real-world 'for-instance' examples:
I easily built a custom control based off some of your examples and it's already up and working in the site. I can really see where this is going to help in the protyping of admin apps, specifically with internal or early-versions of software, and while I get the idea it is really a springboard for more complex development, what is available here is just awesome.
Thanks for any info/suggestions to the above questions.
Dear gentlemen and ladies of the Microsoft Dynamic Data Team,
Mr. Steve Naughton says (and I hope so) that there might be chances that you read the posts published in this forum: I really hope so.
If that were the case then I am formally requesting to you in providing a "real answer" to my question:
I want to customize a dynamic data page (the details one) so I can have access to the data it has been already gathered from the end user UI (details.aspx) and use it to pass this same data to the following controls/pages that I am going to display next time to the end user.
For instance:
I have a screen with different types of data in it: texts, numbers, dates, check boxes, radio buttons and dropdownlists that has been filled with data by the end user. I want now to reset all fields exept the dropdownlist of which I'd like to keep the previously chosen values(the very same thing you do between dropdownlist of List.aspx ad Details.aspx). Even with FoxPro I could do that because data and controls were available there. It was as simple as setting carrying on to true.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT? HOW CAN I IMPLEMENT THE SAME LOGIC AMONG THE CONTROLS OF MY DETAILS PAGE? BUT I DO WANT TO HAVE ACCESS AND PASS DATA FOR SPECIFIC CONTROLS:DROPDOWNLISTS (mostly).
I have found my
Im using ASP.Net 4. I tried to
modified the code according to following video tutorial. http://www.asp.net/aspnet-in-net-35-sp1/videos/how-to-enable-table-specific-routing-in-dynamic-data-applications
But Product page directs
only to ListDetails.aspx page.
This is my code :
<%@ Application Language="C#" %><%@ Import Namespace="System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations" %><%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Routing" %><%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.DynamicData" %><script RunAt="server"> private static MetaModel s_defaultModel = new MetaModel(); public static MetaModel DefaultModel { get { return s_defaultModel; } } public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) {
DefaultModel.RegisterContext(typeof(NorthwindDataContext), new ContextConfiguration() { ScaffoldAllTables = true });
Does anybody here have any pointers to screencasts, demos, webcasts for the latest enhancements in Dynamic Data as listed in above link? I'm repeating them here for ready reference :
I have a project which has gone from Excel report to a SharePoint Custom List and now they have tried to make it an application growing legs with additional list hinging off it and no real way to clean up data from one when it deleted from another etc..(unless we add handlers etc which we don't want to do).
It was envisiaged as a simple one page list to generate some reports off of but it more a data driven application they want now.
I am looking into a way after stating this to my boss and am intrested in the quickest most flexible way to achieve this and to sell it to him.
I am more a .net person but also know plsql and most of the team I work with are Oracle specialists.
We currently have at are disposile .net, php and oracle products (portal, plsql, forms and oracle application express.)
We are at a transition stage trying to move away from Oracle Forms and I believe that .net is a better fit that php for production and readability of code.
So I am considering placing Dynamic data on the table for this project as it all data driven with data being inputed and manipulated and then reports being generated (either via code or we could hitch in a reporting tool like mssql or discover.) The main issue will be the data will be in Oracle so if Dynamic data can handle this then it be perfect as
Mr. Edward,
Excuse my question but: it is necessary to involve in our projects something more than just Dynamic Data or should we make use of all other features available in VS2010 (which will make assume taht they had been left out of the Dynamic Data framework) like: wef, poco, azure, wcf, cloud, mvc, silverllight, ajax, odata, agile, workflow, etc.?
Sorry my ignorance, I'm just transcribing names as they come to my mind and of which I don't know anything about

I have been looking at dynamic data based applications for a little while now and it looks like this technology could be deployed in many scenarios. In my case I am interested in using it to deliver relatively small database applications to small to medium sized companies, often replacing data in homespun spreadsheets with a well ordered database. The attraction to me being that dynamic data allows the application to be created (and subsequently altered) much more efficiently than with lots of hand coded web forms.
What experience have others had using this technology on live sites, have you come across any road blocks or gotchas in terms of performance, security or general functionality? Is it being used in a diverse range of scenarios?
I am using the ModalEF template, converted to a web application.
The GridViewPager is not showing up, though everything else works fine (filters, updates, etc).
I have tried several things in the last two weeks, to no avail.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
The GridViewPager.ascx.cs Page_Load fires, but the Page_PreRender does not.

I'm giving a demonstration of Dynamic Data to a bunch
of geeks in two weeks time. I'm looking for a simpe, but comprehensive
data model to build the application on. I basically just want to
register the model and demonstrate the application, as built
(scaffolded) without any customisation, to start with, demonstrating
list and detail/edit/insert views, and how table relations are handled.
I'd like to avoid one of the standards, i.e. the
Customer->Order-OrderItem models, and try something that would be of
interest to geeks. Maybe a Srum project tracker, an or a bug tracker,
something like that.
Any suggestions please?

This namespace contains a lot of attributes for use
in, I'm sure, many different applications. I'm curious to know which
subset of the attributes in this namespace can be and are used in the
Dynamic Data proxy class system, where the entity class is given an
attribute that specifies a metadata type. That type contains properties
with the same names as properties in the entity class, and the metadata
provider builds MetaColumns using attributes on properties in these
'buddy' (proxy') classes.
So far my list includes, from System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations:
Required, Range, DisplayFormat, StringLength, UIHint,
DataType, Regular Expression, Display Column, Editable, and CustomValidation.
And from System.ComponentModel:
DisplayName, Description, and DefaultValue.
Am I missing any?

I have a SalesOrderItem table, and it has a UnitPrice
column in case the salesperson wishes to override the unit price of the
Product for that order item.
In an ASP.NET Dynamic Data application, what would be the best way to
set that UnitPrice property on a new SalesOrderItem based on the
standard UnitPrice for the product? In other words, when the user
clicks New on the 'Items' screen for a sales order, the UnitPrice field
should already be filled in with the normal unit price for the product.

I have an entity set of NotificationTemplates, and each one of these has a collection of zero-many SmsTemplate entities. When editing or viewing a NotificationTemplate, I have a link to View SMS Templates. That link takes me to a List view for the SmsTemplates entity set, filtered for the NotificationTemplate I was viewing.How can I prevent the user changing this filter to show SmsTemplates for another NotificationTemplate? That is, I want the filter, but it must be read only. The drop-down just mustn't drop down, it must just display the name of the NotificationTemplate that these SmsTemplates belong to. To view SmsTemplates for another NotificationTemplate, the user must click View SMS Templates from that other template.

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Coach Kristin Ryman's Lipscomb Lady Bisons need a confidence boost and she can't understand why.
"We talk to them all of the time about confidence and choice," Ryman said. "You have to fake it until you have it.
"It is your choice if you want to feel confident or not. Right now, we are not acting very confident. And that is a little disappointing when you consider the amount of talent we have on our team. We truthfully belong in every game we play from a No. 1 team to No. 300. We strongly believe in this group."
Saturday morning the Lady Bisons lost 5-1 to Western Kentucky in the second day of the "Bulldog Battle" at Mississippi State. A night game with Murray State was canceled and will not be rescheduled due to a delay in the start of the late games and a temperature in the low 30s with the wind chill.
"There was no sense having the kids out there when it was that cold," Ryman said. "There is no need to get an injury in February."
The Lady Bisons, 3-4, will close out the tournament Sunday at 2 p.m. when they face Mississippi State.
After opening the season 3-0, the Lady Bisons have lost their last four games. Ryman was still thinking about the Western Kentucky game long after it was over.
"We definitely didn't play our best," Ryman said. "Overall it has been a frustrating weekend.
"We are trying to find that spark. We are trying to find the leadership that we need. We have some girls that need to step up."
It may only be seven games into the season, but the Lady Bisons enter 2013 with a lot of expectations.
"We have several players who are pressing right now," Ryman said. "It is too early to do that at this point in the season. We are trying to make things a lot bigger than they are.
"We are making crucial mistakes that we didn't make in the Houston tournament last weekend and it has costs us. We have to relax, go up and do our thing. We have to find ways to make things happen."
Pitching and fielding are two areas that have not been as sharp as they were in the opening weekend in Houston. But the most disappointing area for Ryman is the hitting.
"We are just not hitting the ball like we did in Houston," Ryman said. "We are struggling to get actual hits on the scoreboard. But we are also struggling in certain key situations to find a way to make things happen.
"That is where the mental side of the game comes in. You have to know that if you don't succeed in a crucial situation once doesn't mean you are never going to succeed again. It doesn't mean you should start getting nervous, hesitant or passive. It just means that you didn't get it done that one time. We have to stay composed and poised."
As a coach it is difficult to challenge players to elevate their games without causing them to lose even more confidence.
"You want to keep pushing," Ryman said. "There is obviously a lot of disappointment among coaches and players right now. But at the same time we don't want them to be so down and frustrated that they take themselves out of the next game.
"We can't continue on with the way we are playing. We have to find a way to get out of it."

How sod houses were built
The following description of sod house construction is from a 1916 journal for geography teachers. It includes some interesting details about how sod houses were made.
How is a sod house constructed? Nature furnishes the material at first hand. She also deals kindly with man's handiwork. The house is put together most simply. Sometimes, as in the case of a school house, all the neighborhood families gather and build it in one day.Related website: How to Build a Sod House
No framework need be erected before the sod is laid. Any tough sod convenient to the building is used, such as blue-stem grass or hay meadow grass cut from a moist, compact land, a mile or less away. Autumn is the preferred time, when the roots are tougher and thicker.
A dry time is best for laying the sod, as the building settles less. The sod is cut in blocks two feet or more in length, a foot or more wide and two to four inches thick. It is laid block upon block like brick, with the grass side down. The length of the block determines the thickness of the wall.
It can easily be seen that window and door casings will be wide when set in a wall that is several feet thick. The frames for these are of lumber,and are in place when the walls are being built up.
The roof of the early sod house was of sod, where now shingles are often used. It is able to withstand the showers. From the "draws" or "canyons" the homesteader secures the long pine and the saplings...
The ridge-pole for the roof of the "soddy" is usually the long pine. Along the middle of each side of the roof a second long pole extends parallel to the ridge-pole. Rough slabs are laid across the poles. These may be covered with tar paper or straw before the sod is laid for the roof, grass side down.
The sod may be laid double, the second layer covering the openings in the first. The pitch, or slant, of the roof is slight. And invariably the stove pipe extends through the roof. The American homesteader seems not to have made a success of roof thatching...
A well-build sod house may be occupied for ten, twenty or thirty years, with the sod roof renewed occasionally. Cool in summer and warm in winter,it furnishes secure shelter when the winds howl over the plains bearing the blinding blizzard or the grating sand. Flowers bloom in the deep window recesses the year around.
Today many a family lives in the sod house as a matter of preference. In modified form, it is likely to remain in use for some time to come in the western counties of the Great Plains, where timber is scarce and transportation poor and towns are far apart.

Hi Ripley,
(1a) This doesn't work in this case, because the cold is finished so he must have recovered. The logic does not permit the mixture of tenses. You could easily say, 'He had a traffic accident, and hasn't recovered yet'.
(1b) For good form, drop the second 'he' as unnecessary.
(2) Both OK.
(3) Both OK, but (3a) would be less common (I have a little trouble with this one because I am not British, but Canadian American, and this form is more common in BrE; so it sounds a little awkward to me. I would say, 'have gotten'.)
