Hmmm....I wonder why that would be? Oh, here it is, right in the article:
Although there was little change in total promotional spending for antidepressants between 1999 ($0.98 billion) and 2005 ($1.02 billion), there was a marked increase in the percentage of this spending that was devoted to direct-to consumer advertising, from 3.3 percent ($32 million) to 12 percent ($122.00 million),
Advertising. Hey you -- feeling a little blue? Can't seem to make ends meet? Paycheck shrinking while the price of everything is going up? Does it seem like society crumbling before your very eyes? Don't worry! Be happy. The corporate drug pushers have just the thing for you to forget all your worries and get back to work as a productive member of society.
More than 164 million prescriptions were written in 2008 for antidepressants, totaling $9.6 billion in U.S. sales, according to IMS Health.
As a matter of fact, if you can't find a job, there may be one waiting for you in pharmaceutical sales. This is big business, and one with ever growing needs:
"Not only are more U.S. residents being treated with antidepressants, but also those who are being treated are receiving more antidepressant prescriptions," they added.
- - - - -
I recently made a new friend - a 23 year old kid from one of the best West Coast schools (Stanford) - who's been on antidepressants & anti anxiety medication since his freshman year of high school. He's out here in Boston doing a summer internship at a non-profit. He desperately wants to get off the drugs, but he is surprisingly candid about his hopelessness.
"I don't think I ever would have finished college without the drugs," he told me. "College seems like such a waste of time. Most people there don't care about anything but graduating." Now, faced with the prospect of entering the workforce, he's equally uninspired. On paper, he looks great - good school, good grades, good internship at a prestigious non-profit. Inside he's struggling with the decision of whether to continue being "a productive member of society," in the eyes of his friends, family & former teachers. To him it is a path that is empty and meaningless. There is the pressure to get a "good" job that offers "insurance" - both "security" and health insurance, so he can continue with his medication.
The sad part about the drugs is that they don't really work, and scientists don't really know what the long term consequences might be. What they allow is for patients to make it through another day as a productive member of society.
If this many of our citizens (20% of the workforce) needs drugs to be "well adjusted," something is profoundly wrong with our society, and its getting worse.

Timberland Cadion Mid Gore-Tex XCR Hiking Boots
I have been backpacking for about 12 years, in my native Ontario, the Adirondacks, the Canadian and American Rockies, South America and New Zealand. I typically get about 15 backcountry nights per year either on foot or by canoe, mostly in summer but with the occasional fall and winter trip. In the past I've been an over-packer but I've seen the light and am slowly converting.
Product Information
Manufacturer: The Timberland Company
Product Description
The Timberland Cadion is characterized by Timberland on their website as an "exceptionally lightweight and durable waterproof boot for single and multi-day hiking". The upper is constructed of a mix of Schoeller 'textile', suede or synthetic suede (not specified) and plastic reinforcements. The outsole is Vibram with a tread pattern unique to Timberland. Other interesting features include a 'memory' foam cuff, an external heel counter, full length elastomer midsole "stability plate", a molded plastic heel piece that makes the boots compatible with flexible crampons, a complete wraparound polyurethane rand, and a Gore-Tex XCR inner membrane that is guaranteed waterproof by Timberland. The boot definitely fits into the "mid" category, with a height of 6.5" (16.5 cm) on my size 8's between the highest part of the cuff at the front and the bottom of the heel.
Field Information
I purchased these boots with very little time before a trip to Peru in which a friend and I were planning to trek the Inca Trail and other areas. With virtually no break-in, I threw these boots on and hiked 25 miles (40 km) in three days in the Colca Canyon in southern Peru, with approximately 10,000 ft (3000 m) of elevation loss and gain. A few days later, we hopped on the Inca trail; 30 miles (48 km) over four days with 11,500 ft (3400 m) of elevation gain. The terrain was moderate to rough on both treks, and included dry sand, Andean granite, and five hundred year old Inca cobble trails. Temperatures ranged from 30 F (0 C) in the high alpine in early morning to 85 F (30 C) at mid day.
The Cadion Gore-Tex XCR boots are comfortable, supportive, versatile, and durable. They have the widest range of use of any outdoor footwear I have owned, from fast day hikes to scrambling to multi-day treks with a big pack. Timberland has taken a big step in the evolution of the hiking boot with this shoe, and in my opinion their innovation has definitely paid off. Assuming I can get my outsole problems dealt with under warranty, I plan on wearing these boots on just about every off-road walk, hike or trek I take in the foreseeable future.
Things I Like
1. Versatility - an unbelievably wide range of use
Things I Don't Like
1. Cracks in Vibram outsoleThis report was created with the BackpackGearTest.org Report Writer Version 1. Copyright 2007. All rights reserved.

After five hit albums, including four that have peaked in the top ten on Billboard's country album chart, Athens native Colt Ford has somehow never had a single reach higher than number 38 on that trade publication's country singles chart. But that's not stopping him from releasing a "greatest hits" collection on Oct. 23rd.
"I'm doing this for the fans," he says of Answer To No One: The Colt Ford Classics. "The are greatest hits to those guys. My life's on this album."
Answer to No One includes numerous duets and collaborations, including tracks with fellow Georgians Jason Aldean and Brantley Gilbert, along with Jamey Johnson, Eric Church, Michael Montgomery, Nappy Roots and Duck Dynasty's Willie Robertson.

Richard Doyle also goes by mobius, an indicator of just how important interconnections are to him – and how transformative, bedeviling and hypnotic his ideas can be. As a professor of English and science, technology, and society at Pennsylvania State University, he has taught courses in the history and rhetoric of the emerging technosciences – sustainability, space colonization, biotechnology, nanotechnology, psychedelic science, information technologies, biometrics – and the cultural and literary contexts from which they sprout. An explorer of the exciting and confusing rhetorical membrane between humans and an informational universe, he argues that in co-evolution with technology, we find ourselves in an evolutionary ecology that is as vital as it is unexplored.
In Darwin's Pharmacy: Sex, Plants and the Evolution of The Noösphere, the transhumanist philosopher focuses on his favorite technology: the psychedelic, "ecodelic" plants and chemicals (read: drugs) that can help make us process more information and make us aware of the effect of language and music and nature on our consciousness, thereby offering us an awareness of our own ability to effect our own consciousness through our linguistic and creative choices. And that, from an evolutionary perspective, is simply sexy.

text: Diplomat: Special Ops Told to Stand Down During Benghazi Hicks says Pentagon refused to scramble jets By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted May 7, 2013 12:29 AM CDT Updated May 7, 2013 5:52 AM CDT 174 comments Comments A man walks near a charred vehicle at the entrance of the damaged American consulate building in Benghazi, Libya. (AP Photo/Mohammad Hannon) (Newser) – More testimony has been released sharply contradicting the Obama administration's version of events during last year's Benghazi attack. Greg Hicks, deputy of slain US Ambassador Chris Stevens, says a team of Special Operations troops was ready to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi but was told to stand down by Special Operations Command Africa, reports the Washington Post. Hicks—who says the State Department's review "let people off the hook"—is scheduled to appear tomorrow at a congressional hearing on the attacks that killed Stevens and three other Americans. Hicks says he tried unsuccessfully to get the Pentagon to scramble jets over Benghazi, a move he believes could have saved American lives by causing Libyan attackers to scatter instead of launching a second attack, CBS reports. After the attacks were over, Hicks says the lieutenant colonel in command of the Special Operations team told him, "I've never been so embarrassed in my life that a State Department officer has bigger balls than someone in the military."

Leaving Minnesota this morning,
we had decided that Jamestown ND
would be a good destination for an overnight stay. . .
it met all the criteria. ..about 3 1/2 hours on the road. . .
leaving time to see a couple of interesting things in the afternoon. . .
this beautiful field of sunflowers brightened our day. . .
first time we've ever crossed the North Dakota State Line. . .
by noon we were all set up at Frontier Fort RV Park. . .
I was reminded by Judy, when I told her where we had reservations,
that Sherry and David had a horrible experience here. . .
so we were somewhat concerned. . .
but like Sherry said. . .the reviews weren't that bad,
and another couple we had met said they had a nice long
pull through with great 50 amp service. . .so here we are to give it a try. . .
here's the deal as best we can tell. . .
do NOT stay in the BACK IN 30 amp spots. . .
you can see more graphic pics by checking out Sherry's Blog
pay the extra fee for the 50A pull through spots, which seem to be fine. . .
$27 Passport America Rate. . .
it will work for just this one night. . .
There are three things we would like to see since we are here. . .
Louis L'Amour was born in Jamestown ND,
and lived here as Louis LaMoore until he was 15.
He later changed the spelling of his name
when his writing career began to take off. . .
Dave has read every book he has ever written. . .
I knew the World's Largest Buffalo was going to qualify
as one of those weird Roadside Attractions. . .
yep. . .I was right. . .
right up there with Paul Bunyan and Babe. . .fun stuff!
and then the Albino Buffalo, but this was the best photo we were able to get. . .
and this is from the freeway.
The buffalo were not visible from the museum area,
but we knew we had seen them from I-94 as we were coming into town. . .
so we drove back around there to get these sad pics. . .
Sherry's pics of him? are much, much better. . .
so I hope you'll check it out. . .
She and David must have been at Frontier Town on a Saturday. ..
'cause none of the stuff she shows on her blog was going on
when we were there today. . .and we leave in the morning. . .
but I did get this one great pic of Dave funnin' around. . .
he's such a clown. . .
After Frontier town, a teeny little grocery run
was an absolute necessity. . .
we were totally out of bread, eggs, and sugar. . .
We'll see you in Bismarck next time for our tour of the
North Dakota State Capitol. . .
'til then,
Janice and Dave

(15-30 mL) milk or water Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl stir together water, oil and egg. Add to the dry ingredients and stir just until you have a soft dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat the dough into a rectangle that measures roughly 8×14-inch. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon and nuts, if using. Starting from a long edge, roll up jelly-role style and pinch the edge to seal. Using a sharp serrated knife or (even better) dental floss, slice half an inch thick and place slices cut side down on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for about 15 minutes, until springy to the touch. Wait until they have cooled completely before you spread them with cream cheese. Makes about 2 dozen biscuits. Store extra in a tightly covered container of freeze. If they are frosted, store the container in the fridge. (via Babble)

For many gym-goers, the goal isn't 20-inch biceps. It's more likely about getting in great shape— and feeling great along the way. While cardio's killer for building endurance and shedding pounds, there's a big case for weights, from the classic dumbbells and barbells to kettlebells and beyond. Studies suggest weight training at least three days a week not only builds muscle, but can also help reduce body fat, boost metabolism, and build bone density better than aerobic exercise alone Influence of exercise training on physiological and performance changes with weight loss in men.Kraemer, W.J., Volek, J.S., Clark, K.L., et al.

But when it comes to hitting the weights, getting started is often the biggest obstacle. With seemingly countless training styles for a range of goals, just knowing where to begin can easily turn off any weight room rookie. To help take the edge off jumping in, the Greatist team headed over to Crunch Fitness, where trainers Anja Koschak and Damien Bourbeau took our testers through two fully-body, beginner-friendly resistance workouts. Read on to get their programs, tips, and takeaways for a smoother introduction to hitting the weights.
Program A With Anja Koschak
Emphasis: Overall toning/fat loss
Warm Up: 4-minute jog on the treadmill, followed by a 5-minute heart rate-boosting series of walking lunges, partner resistance band sprints, and medicine ball throws.
1. Step-ups x 12 reps each leg 2. Dumbbell lunges x 12 reps each leg Repeat superset 3 times through with minimal rest Rest 2-3 minutes
3. Seated machine shoulder press x 10 reps 4. Dumbbell burpee with overhead press x 10 reps Repeat superset 3 times through with minimal rest
Rest 2-3 minutes
5. Cable woodchoppers x 12 per side
Adjust height from high, middle, to low for a total of 3 sets
Rest 2-3 minutes
6. BOSU ball planks on forearms, 30 sec
7. BOSU ball planks on hands, 30 sec 8. BOSU ball side planks, 30 sec
Full-body stretch
What our Greatist tester, Kate, had to say: "The moves were simple and self-explanatory, which I think can be a concern for beginners who want to make sure they don't look like they're beginners." While the burpee/shoulder press supersets were "brutal," Kate loved the BOSU ball planks and woodchoppers. "Anja set the weight about 10 lbs heavier than I would have myself and I did it with very little problem, which was a super rewarding feeling."
What our Greatist tester, Max, had to say: "The most rewarding part of the workout was completing the burpees. The speed necessary to do the exercise was grueling, and was killer on the shoulders— but I could tell it was doing a lot for my entire body."
Program B With Damien Bourbeau
Emphasis: Functional strength training
Warm-Up: 4-minute incline walk on treadmill, followed by a 6-minute heart rate-boosting series of jumping jacks, planks, cross jacks, side planks, low jacks, and knee-to-elbow planks.
1. TRX (or bodyweight) jump squats, max reps in 30 sec
2. TRX row, max reps in 30 sec Repeat superset three times through with minimal rest Rest 2-3 minutes
3. Kettlebell swings x 20 reps
4. Push-ups x 10 reps Repeat superset three times through with minimal rest *On the last set of kettlebell swings try 5 reps with two arms, into 10 reps (each arm) Rest 2-3 minutes
5. Single leg bridge x 15 reps (each leg)
6. Mountain climbers, 60 sec Repeat superset two times through
Full-body stretch
What our Greatist tester, Kate, had to say: "I love the fact that most of the exercises we did were body weight only. I think that makes it a little less scary for beginners. I think there is a misconception that if you aren't using added weight you're not really working hard— but I have learned quickly in the last few weeks that you absolutely are! I think Damien said it very well— 'you have to earn the right to lift weight.'"
What our Greatist tester, Max, had to say: "The most rewarding portion of the workout was the back-to-back sets of the rows and jump squats. It was good to feel the alternating burn in the upper and lower body." And while Max admits that hitting the gym isn't his favorite to-do, he "liked that the workout involved no machines, so it could be done anywhere."
Tips From Our Experts
Keep these quick tips on hand for a safe and effective weight training session:
- Warm it up. While it may be tempting to jump the gun, a warm-up is key to increasing heart rate and blood flow— and ensuring a safe and injury-free workout. Try some light cardio followed by dynamic stretching and/or dynamic exercises (as suggested above).
- Mix n' Match. Lucky for us, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to strength training. Varying workouts to include a mix of dumbbells, barbell movements, kettlebells, resistance bands, and body weight exercises is one of the most effective ways to stay challenged and engaged.
- Triple Up. Ready to skedaddle after the first set? Think twice— or thrice, that is. Studies suggest completing at least three sets of each exercise is the magic number to seeing strength improvements and increased muscle tone Three sets of weight training superior to 1 set with equal intensity for eliciting strength. Rhea, M.R., Alvar, B.A., Ball, S.D., et al. Exercise and Wellness Research Laboratory, Department of Exercise Science and Physical Education, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 2002 Nov; 16(4): 525-9..
- Go Naturale. While machines have their place, compound movements (including free weights and body weight) work multiple joints and muscles and are generally more effective at engaging the core.
- Multitask. Now here's a win-win. Supersets (read: back-to-back exercises with little to no rest in between) not only save time, they're shown to blast more calories The metabolic costs of reciprocal supersets vs. traditional resistance exercise in young recreationally active adultsKelleher, A.R., Hackney, K.J., Fairchild, T.J., et al. Musculoskeletal and Human Performance Laboratories, Department of Exercise Science, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 2010 Apr; 24(4): 1043-51..
- Add Aminos. Among the many pros to protein shakes? Studies show a post-workout chug can help decrease fatigue, maintain exercise performance, and hasten the muscle recovery process Effects of an amino acid carbohydrate drink on exercise performance after consecutive-day exercise bouts. Skillen, RA., Testa, M., Applegate, EA., et al. International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism 2008 Oct;18(5):473-92..
- Toss the Scale. While it can be a good motivator for some, not everyone will see that number budge quickly, despite their progress.
- Find Balance. For a 5-day-a-week workout schedule, try making strength training a priority for 2 to 3 of those days.

When we begin learning about light, we usually start by talking about the colors of the spectrum and the fact that white light can be broken up, or dispersed into a spectrum of colors. To disperse light into its spectrum, Sir Isaac Newton used a prism. However, in recent years the diffraction grating has replaced the prism for this purpose because it is easier, more effective, and less expensive. We offer Single Axis and Double Axis Diffraction Grating, and Double Axis Prism Glasses. For more accurate spectral observations, try our Hand-Held or Pocket Spectroscope. If you're looking for some interesting lights to observe, we have the amazing ColorFlame Birthday Candles.

Florida State coach Bobby Bowden wants to talk with Deion Sanders before deciding whether the All-American cornerback will play in the Sugar Bowl.
"I really can't comment until I get home and find out exactly what happened," Bowden said in a Christmas Day telephone interview after hearing that Sanders was arrested. "I'll talk to my coaches (Monday) and I'll have to talk to Deion."We'll meet then and make whatever decisions need to be made," Bowden said.
Sanders, 21, who was arrested Christmas Eve after an incident in a Fort Myers, Fla., gift shop, was charged with battery on a police officer and disorderly conduct. He was released Saturday night after posting $2,600 bond, police said.
Tony Cail, the Fort Myers auxiliary police officer injured in the altercation, was treated at a hospital and released Saturday night.
Bowden, who was to return home from Alabama late Sunday to begin preparations for the Jan. 2 Sugar Bowl game against Auburn, said he had received sketchy details about the incident in a telephone call from an assistant coach.
The trouble started as Sanders, a two-time All-American and finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award given to the nation's best defensive back, and two friends, John Connors and Richard Fain of Fort Myers, were buying a pair of earrings at a specialty gift store, Fain said.
Fain, a defensive back for the University of Florida, said the store clerk was confused about who would pay for the earrings, which were intended as a gift for a friend of Sanders.
Fain said the woman handed the earrings to another clerk who was standing at the cash register. The male clerk asked Sanders for money. Sanders said he had already given the first clerk $25, and an exchange of insults began.
Gayle Cooke, who was in the store, told the Fort Myers News-Press that Sanders then struck the female clerk twice with a clenched fist on the shoulder. But Fain says he didn't see Sanders hit the woman.
Sanders and his friends then tried to walk out of the store. Fain said they were confronted by Fort Myers police officers and members of the department's auxiliary.
Three of them seized Sanders, Fain said.
"They grabbed Deion by his chain, and they were choking him," Fain said. "They broke Deion's chain, they were choking him so bad. When his chain broke, that's when Deion hit him (the auxiliary police officer). What else could he do, what else could he do?"

All-rounder Scott Borthwick insists that "cricketing reasons" are behind his move from Durham to Surrey.
The Wearsider helped Durham clinch survival by beating Surrey in his final home match yesterday, and admitted to "mixed emotions" over his impending switch to the Oval, a ground which he believes can only help him develop his game.
Borthwick, who hopes to add to his one Test appearance for England, said: "It's mixed emotions.
"Obviously it's a massive decision for me. It took a long time to make.
"I'm sad to leave but massively excited about my future.
"I'm a Sunderland lad and played for Durham since the age of 10 or 11, so it's obviously a massive call.
"I thought the right decision to leave for cricketing reasons – playing at the Oval would suit my game, being a leg-spinner and batter.
"The club have been fantastic to me down the years, a massive help to me."
On yesterday's victory to guarantee safety, Borthwick hailed the impact of Ben Stokes, who grabbed four wickets in a blistering afternoon stint to deny the visitors what looked a likely win.
Borthwick said: "The lads were firing to go at teatime. That was the plan to go hard.
"Stokesy's a fantastic competitor. When he knows he can win a game you can never get the ball out of his hand.
"Whenever he sniffs out a win, he's fantastic and he doesn't give up. He deserved four wickets, but he could easily have got five, six or seven.
"Obviously we pushed really hard. I thought the weather came out at a good time for them and probably made it a bit harder for us, but we bowled pretty well, especially in the last session."

Apple iPhone 3G users 'need to check charges before travelling'
Apple iPhone 3G S users have been told they should check with O2 before taking their device abroad.
A spokesman for iLounge, an independent online resource dedicated to news and information about the touchscreen handset, said getting an idea of what to expect with regards charges was wise if people were planning a holiday.
Jeremy Horwitz, editor-in-chief of the site, said although using a prepaid Wi-Fi service – such as those available in many hotels – would mean a different rate that needs to be investigated in advance.
"Telephone, text message, or internet use will be charged at high foreign rates," he added. "Contacting your cellular service provider is a smart first step if you plan to use the device overseas."
A recent blog article posted by Simon Jary of PC Advisor looked at how taking an iPhone abroad does not need to be an expensive move.
He recommended using Wi-Fi wherever possible and not checking emails unnecessarily – particularly if attachments are included.

I'm afraid you'll have to make do with phone pictures in this post, but I think this epic burger-chomping gif more than makes up for it.
Stax is a teeny-tiny, all-American diner just as god intended. At peak times you may have to wait a while to get a seat inside, but if you're hardcore – and hungry – like us you can take a pew outside (not especially recommended in December). Whether you're up for braving the elements or you'd rather wait for a cosy seat in the warmth, you'll want to stick around because Stax serves some of the most incredible American diner food I've found in London. Full of inspiration from the Deep South, on the menu you'll find classics like the Popcorn Shrimp Po'Boy, a variety of big-n-dirty burgers and fried green tomatoes – basically the kind of things you see on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (my TV guilty pleasure!).
Despite the wide-reaching menu, I am a creature of habit and on every single visit I order the Chicken and Waffles (£12.50). Buttermilk fried chicken breast and thigh served on a crispy buttermilk waffle with lashings of maple syrup – YES. Yes, yes, yes. So much yes. Stax's fried chicken is perfect – light, crunchy golden coating with not a hint of dripping grease in sight encases succulent, juicy chicken. Stick that on top of a freshly made waffle that's crisp on the outside and impossibly fluffy on the inside, drizzle sticky sweet maple syrup over the whole thing and you've got yourself one hell of a winner. It is seriously so perfect that I can't see myself deviating any time soon.
Sheenie favours the Chickadee (£9.50), Stax's chicken burger complete with the same buttermilk fried chicken as you'll find with the waffles, this time topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo and housed in a toasted brioche bun. Sheenie's had a beef burger at Stax before, which she definitely rates but she agrees with me that the chicken is where it's at. The Boardwalk Fries (£2.95) are also definitely worth ordering – these Maris Piper chips are triple cooked for the ultimate fluffiness and are coated in a concoction of rosemary and secret spices for chips that bite back. Delicious.
Of course, you'll need something to wash all this down with, and Stax aren't short of options there either. There's a whole ton of milkshakes and ice cream floats to choose from – their ice creams are all made in-house, by the way – and hard versions of both if you want something a little stronger. I've had the Dairy Free Coconut and Banana Milkshake (£4.75) which was lovely but I'm not convinced it's worthy of being an actual-real-life-five-dollar-shake. The Stax guys are also big into their craft beer, too, so check out their current seasonal lagers and IPAs. Or there's wine, bubbles, cocktails and your standard soft drinks as well.
As if all this wasn't enough, Stax also have a brunch menu packed with buttermilk pancakes, waffles and brioche french toast, or if you'd rather a savoury option there's poached eggs and they've even got the health-conscious choice covered with fruit salad, yogurt and granola. I'm yet to make the trek to the West End in time for brunch, but it's definitely on my to-do list if only because I'm dying to sample their blueberry pancakes…
Next time you're shopping on Carnaby Street, sneak through the arch to Kingly Court and pay Stax a visit. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Hello Experts,
I am a MVC newbie & am lost in various ways validation can be implemented in my application.
I created a custom model-level data annotation validator attribute, but am unable to display its error message in the view. Basically, I have let's say 5 properties in the Entity class Job (model-level custom attribute called UniqueKeywords defined on it):
1) LoginID: value comes in the URL
2) Title: Required property level attribute defined on it
3) CatID1, CatID2, CatID3 - 3 categoryIDs - these are dropdowns in the view with same list of keywords in all 3.
I want to mandate that the values picked by the user in all 3 category dropdowns should be different.
With reference to the code pasted below, here is the explanation of what happens:
When I submit the form without specifying a title or picking anything from any of the 3 category dropdowns, the validation occurs for the property level Required attribute as well as model level uniquekeywords attribute, but the error is displayed only next to the required field "Title". I can confirm that the custom validation also works by filling in some text in the Title field & then re-posting the form...this re-displays the view, but the error message "Category cannot be duplicated" is not displayed.
Looks like I am missing s

It should be simple; although I'm having a hard time to figure out the best way to do it. I've MVC2 pages with multiple forms on the same page having different functionalities.
What's the best way to handle this; including the MVC2 way of validation from the model?
I believe this topic was discussed before in this forum, but I couldn't find it using the exact error I receive: "operation for file.doc was rejected by custom validation on the server"
When I try to add a new word document to my doc library, Word displays this error instead of my custom error message. I set properties.Cancel=true in ItemAdding of my EventHandler, because my validation fails.
Is there any way to display user properties.ErrorMessage instead of this generic error message?
I have implemented a custom ModelMetadataProvider so that I can decorate my view models with some custom attributes and everything was working fine until I made use of a Partial View.
The following code in my view works fine: -
<%: Html.DisplayFor(x => x.Results) %>
Results is a List which renders a custom display template and is also decorated with a custom attribute. Using breakpoints, after the above line and prior to the code within the custom display template, the overridden CreateMetadata method in my custom ModelMetadataProvider is invoked. If I look at the attributes collection parameter I can see that it does contain my custom attribute thus everything working as expected.
However, if I replace the above with the following line of code in my view then it breaks: -
<% Html.RenderPartial("ApplicationSearchResults", Model.Results, new ViewDataDictionary()); %>
All the Partial View contains is: -
<%: Html.DisplayFor(x => x) %>
Again using breakpoints, after the above line and prior to the code within the
custom display template, the overridden CreateMetadata method in my
custom ModelMetadataProvider is invoked. But this time if I look at the attributes collection
parameter my custom attribute is not there.
Any idea

The Rampant Scotland Newsletter> includes a number of photographs which illustrate the weather and the seasons, plus the flora and fauna of the current week around Scotland. This separate "colour supplement" displays some more pictures, in a larger format. Here is this week's crop of Scottish views!
Described as the "most bizarre building in Scotland" this is a summer house built in 1761 with a first floor of cantilevered masonry in the shape of a realistic, prickly pineapple which is 45 feet high. It was built at a time when pineapples were relatively unknown in Scotland. Four chimneys are disguised as stone vases on top of an adjoining wall, because the summer house was heated by a furnace which circulated hot air through cavities in the wall. There are 16 acres of gardens with an orchard and the property has been restored by the National Trust for Scotland - and can be rented as a holiday home!
Dunmore is just off the A905 road between Falkirk and Stirling and about a mile away, on the same road, is the ancient village of Airth. The present parish church, seen here, dates from the 1820's and has a large graveyard which lies on a slope. Behind the church is the River Forth and beyond that the Ochill Hills, with a light covering of snow. The ruins of a much older church (dating from the 12th century) can be found beside Airth Castle.
The market cross at Airth was erected by a Charles Elphinston in 1697. His initials and coat of arms and those of his mother and father with their arms quartered are on two sides of the cross. Unusually for a market cross, the other two sides of the cross are sun dials and one of them (seen here) has the date 1697. Quite apart from the inaccuracy of sun-dials, you would need very good eyesight to read the numbers at the top of the tall cross from the street below. Charles Elphinston was killed in a duel with a relative, Captain William Bruce of Auchenbowie at Torwood. These days, there is an Elphinstone Inn, adjacent to the market cross.
On the other side of the river Forth from Airth, and slightly further downstream in Fife, is the ancient town of Culross (pronounced "Coo-ross"), an almost perfect example of an ancient Scottish burgh of the 17th and 18th centuries. Many of the houses are of that period and the crows' feet gables, pantile roofs and narrow cobbled streets are typical of that time. A number of the buildings are now owned by the National Trust for Scotland including this fine Town House or "Tolbooth" dating from 1626. It was formerly used as a courthouse and prison.
The "Palace" in Culross (illustrated here) is not associated with royalty but was built for Sir George Bruce, a wealthy merchant and industrialist, in the 17th century. The Palace is particularly attractive both because of the painted wooden ceilings and as the National Trust have filled it with furniture of the 17th and 18th centuries. The building facing the camera was originally an unpretentious late 16th-century dwelling house. George Bruce's initials are carved above one of the windows with the date 1597. A later building, dated 1611 has the initials "SGB" as by that time he was Sir George Bruce! He built the first coal mine in the world to extend under the sea at Culross.
On the outskirts of Culross is an abbey which was founded in 1217 by Malcolm I, Mormaer or Earl of Fife. Culross may have been chosen to establish an abbey because this was reputed to be the birth place of Saint Mungo (also known as Kentigern), the patron saint of Glasgow. It is also possible that the abbey was built over an earlier Pictish church, founded by Saint Serf in the 6th century. In 1633 the east choir of the abbey was taken over for use as a parish church, while the adjoining buildings (seen in the foreground) fell into decay.
This amusing picture of models of a stylised owl and robin was taken in Toward Garden Centre, on the way to Airth and Culross. The expressions on their faces (and that of a fierce-looking blackbird behind) certainly made the customers smile!

Nice work, Chrism. I've used a fair amount of XP-2 Super in 120. It's an excellent film that scans very well.

Related to director Wilson Yip's previous few efforts only in terms of its awkward genre broadness, Magic to Win tries to interpolate more souped-up fantasy clichés than it can manage by slight of cinematic hand. The occidentally alienating plot concerns the convergence of multiple generations of magicians, all of them neatly, if arbitrarily, categorized by element (there's no significant difference between the powers of the "water" magician and those of the "fire" magician) and along morality lines. When the eldest and most innocuous of these sorcerers, a white-whiskered university professor played with comic aplomb by producer Raymond Wong, confusingly transfers his supernatural faculties to budding female student Macy (Karena Ng), the film climaxes in a veritable mushroom cloud of bubblegum nonsense. Macy's foundering volleyball team (portrayed by Chinese girl group iMe) becomes unassailable overnight, and we see her manipulating the outcomes of her institution's athletics in a hyper-designed, nearly lysergic animated montage. Soon after, however, her newfound skills embroil her in an inevitable wizard's showdown, and the movie's third act sags with the introduction of new characters (one of them invisible to everyone but her) and a series of magic lessons that clumsily sketch out the story's mythology.
There's a winking, spritely nature to this ridiculous content, but it's rendered impossible to follow by a lack of meaningful relationships that might transcend the film's multiple threads. The script shuttles its focus away from Macy's sympathetic perspective too often, and lapses into vague triteness even when we do experience the poor man's Harry Potter-verse through her befuddled eyes. (The professor explains to her, for example, that magical powers are typically acquired through traumatic episodes that cause one's brain cells to expand and absorb any mystic energy that might be in their general vicinity.) And though it's photographed with piercing, sugary brightness that likely mimics the aesthetic of its source material, a series of Chinese fantasy comedies Wong produced in the '80s, Magic to Win's more defining visual aspect is its almost satirically shoddy CGI; we can literally see the point at which levitating books and apples transform from stationary props to post-production vectors. This cheapness informs a possibly unintentional but nonetheless welcome homage to Roger Corman's The Raven in its final magicians' battle-royal set piece, but the demonic-looking carousels and likeable performances deserve less confused parody.

Everybody wants something
Everybody wants something. All around the world people have a desire to gain something that they don't already have. Some people want money to buy things and live a particular lifestyle while others wish to experience a certain emotion or feeling. To want is completely natural. It's what drives us as people to get up in the morning, to live another day. Everybody wants something.
I was in a convenience store one day, waiting in line to pay for a Pepsi. Ahead of me was a young mother with her daughter, who I would say was five or six. In front of the counter was a shelf filled with candy, right about eye level of a six year old. As the mother's items were being bagged, a package shaped like an ice cream cone caught the daughter's eye. "Mommy, look at these!" she said. "I would reeeaally love one!" The mother barley looked down and said "Come on, let's go." The little girl didn't move. Her eyes were wide as she gazed at this pretend ice cream cone. "I said let's go!" the mother said, with authority. The little girl began to whine and cry before her mother picked her up and turned for the door, the little girl's eyes remained focused on the ice cream as she was carried outside.
That little girl wanted something. As children we want toys and candy and all of the other marvellous things we see. That little girl probably expressed her interest in a hundred things that day. But as we grow older, what we want changes. There are little wants like what you want for dinner or what you want to watch on TV tonight. Then there are big wants like love and relationships or wealth and success. A lot of us want the same things, but we all want different things too.
Wanting is a good thing; we need to want otherwise what's the point of being here? However, wanting can become negative. Our want of something can lead us to believe that we don't have, which makes us go through a whole range of negative emotions. That is where most people's thinking is focused on the negative.
Have you ever noticed the people you talk to are always telling you about their problems? They can't afford to do this, they're too busy to do that or if they had their way, they would. That indicates they want something, but they're approaching it in a negative way. In order for our wants to stay positive, we must first acknowledge what we already have. By doing this, we focus on our successes and look to add to them.
What do you want? The best way to find out is to think about what you already have.

Trend: Package-goods companies are asking for broader exclusivity across categories for film tie-ins; there is less opportunity to slice up sponsorships into niche categories.
Insight: Marketers want more reciprocal exposure when linking with films for promotions. Package-goods and retailers want their logos to appear in advertising for the film; everyone wants to drive traffic back to the store and also to the theater through cross-advertising deals.
Forecast: With so many entertainment choices out there, studios will reach out more to marketers for partnerships and cooperation, but actors will become even more reluctant to lend their images to advertising and promotions.
Fact: The success of "The Blair Witch Project," Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon has a lot to do with the Internet. Studios are now charging promotional partners more for Internet marketing rights.

Star Wars die hard fans aren't really good for much more than not having sex with anyone ever. However, Canadian art teacher, photog and self proclaimed Star Wars aficionado David Eger has unveiled a series of photographs called '365 Days Of Clones'.
In this photography series he pretty much takes iconic shots captured by a lens and reinacts them using Star Wars characters. He only shoots one pic a day for a year featuring R2-D2, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader and of course the Storm Troopers in various scenes from celebrated shots like The Kiss (pic below), Abbey Road, and Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima (pic above), and cultural moments like the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. He hasn't used photoshop, which makes this project a little more interesting

If Revenge (1990) is a dish best served cold, then don't cast your movie with steaming-hot Madeleine Stowe. She plays the wife of Anthony Quinn, a millionaire gangster in Mexico. Enter Kevin Costner as a former Navy pilot who once saved Quinn's life, and there's trouble. Costner and Stowe immediately jump each other's bones wherever they can, including a speeding jeep. They better watch out or Costner may bust his boner. Eventually Quinn gets wise to being a cuckold and cuts his losses, beating Costner into pulp fiction and sending Stowe off to the bordello, saying: "If you want to be a whore, you can be one for the rest of your life."

What's your attitude towards the free trading and distribution of MP3s?
I see the internet as a big, mutating sample bank. The implications of this will manifest itself as something like an "idoru", a Japanese virtual pop star. There'll be a self-propagating epidemic of digitalised audio, rather like a computer worm, with bits of itself distributed across many network computers. With the infinite replicability of digital code, the media itself is remixed.

Special Needs Bag for 100 km Run
I think this is it... I am sure that I will add to it by morning. I would rather be overly prepared than under. I just hope I don't put my back out carrying the gym bag crammed with all of this stuff. lol
I am pleased to report that I am actually (finally) excited about the run! I have had a million things on the go and really haven't had the chance to think about it.
I am going out for dinner with Dad and Janet. They have kindly agreed to go to Pizza Hut with me. I want to thank them so very much for taking the 8 hour drive down to be with me for my run. They are hosting the "Front Yard" party and will be in charge of collecting more pledges, noise makers, flare, crowd control (tee hee) and making posters to let the commuters know what the fuss is all about!! Most importantly they are here to get the group pumped! Basically, they are going to sit on the lawn all afternoon drinking beer, eating chips, bon bons, waving to traffic and making lots of noise! Good times!
Here's last year's party!
In case I forgot to mention (or you've just happened on this post), the run route goes right past my house. I will be about 80 km (50 miles) into the race at that point... Yipes!
Andrew is out of town and will be arriving at some point tomorrow morning. He'll be meeting me at various locations during the run to give me a kiss and some motivation.
I had better get going. I still have to wax and do my nails (finger) and... and... and.....
Gotta run.

The main railway link to the southwest of England has reopened two months after part of the track was swept away by the sea.
High tides and stormy seas breached the sea wall at Dawlish in Devon on February 4, washing a stretch of the coast-hugging line into the sea, during the severe weather that hit the UK this winter.
Further flooding and landslips cut off all rail links to Devon and Cornwall and the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce said a survey of businesses in the city put the cost to the local economy at more than £1m for each day the rail link has been shut.
Prime Minister David Cameron declared the south west of England "open for business" again as he visited the town today, calling for three cheers for the 300-strong Network Rail (NR) team that has worked round the clock for eight weeks to restore the line.
"Back in February when I visited the town to see the damage for myself, I promised to do everything I could to get this vital artery back up and running as quickly as possible," said Cameron. "I am delighted to say that promise has been delivered today."
Work to repair the line was hampered after another severe storm on the night of February 14/15 that saw massive seas batter the 10-tonne shipping containers forming the temporary sea wall, damaging a further 10 to 20 metres of sea wall and requiring more shipping containers to be moved in.
There were further problems on March 4 when engineers discovered that 20,000 tonnes of cliff face near Teignmouth just south of Dawlish had sheared away above the railway, meaning stabilisation work had to be done.
With its teams working around the clock, NR was able to bring the line reopening date forward two weeks, enabling the line to be open in time for the Easter holidays.
NR chief executive Mark Carne said: "Our army of engineers has done an amazing job of putting back together a railway that was ravaged by the elements. They have overcome every obstacle thrown at them, winning many battles along the way to restore this critical piece of the network, ahead of schedule, and in time for the Easter holidays."
He conitnued: "The biggest thanks must be reserved for passengers and local communities and businesses who have been hugely supportive and patient over the past two months as we worked flat-out to rebuild this vital rail link.
"Our focus now moves to the medium and long-term, looking at what can be done at Dawlish to make the current coastal route more resilient and, by the autumn, understand what the best viable relief route might be."
Engineers have rebuilt half of Dawlish station and replaced more than 700m of track and ballast. In total, the repairs have cost £35m and the government has promised another £31m of improvements for the route.
Ben Bradshaw, Labour MP for Exeter, welcomed the reopening of the line but called for a "long-term solution".
"I think for the sake of the whole of Devon and Cornwall and our economy we need a long-term additional line that will ensure we have a reliable railway, even in situations like this," he said.
"What we need is an additional line, I don't think anybody suggests getting rid of this beautiful line. It connects Exeter to Dawlish, through to Newton Abbot and I think that line will continue.
"But it is clearly vulnerable, it will become increasingly vulnerable with climate change and for the sake of the South West economy as a whole, we need a long-term solution including an additional line."

I've been thinking over the past few weeks that I want to change the angle of my blog to a more technical nature and having posted a couple of programming related posts recently I've decided that 2009 is the time to do this. I will keep a record of the exercise / beer ratio which I've been doing for a while as I've been using it as a log of my exercise. It's nice to keep a record of what has been happening.

I'm also going to use these monthly posts to keep track of my aims; including the exercise and beer consumption and weigh ins. So as of the beginning of the year I was a chubba of 12stone 4 pounds. My target weight is at least 11stone 7 by the summer; more would be good tho!

No Compromise
As the fiscal cliff looms I am sure that no deal will be made prior to the deadline. This is for one primary reason: self interest on the part of the politicians. A deal prior to the fiscal cliff would be reasonable and practical and helpful and wise. These are not things American politics is primarily interested in.
The way things will play out is the Fiscal Cliff will pass and only then deals will be made. A secondary reason why this will be allowed to happen is because the fiscal cliff is not so dramatic as it sounds. The financial impact will begin slowly, they are what the Atlantic calls a fiscal slope. Basically the cuts will be end up being very pronounced but the immediate impact will come slowly and eat into our recovery over time. The takeaway is the immediate effects are not as bad as you may have been led to believe. So don't freak out.
As I said the primary reason for no deal prior to the deadline is political self interest on both sides. Basically tax hikes and spending cuts that will necessarily begin on Jan 1. Both cuts and tax increases are things that our politicians understand need to happen because for the US to get healthy we need more revenue and less spending. We need to get our budget under control. The problem is that Dems love to social programs and Repubs love low taxes. They promise these things, they run on these promises. Even if it isn't in the best interest of America they know what their constituents want to hear and how they will vote.
So here is the beautiful/sad irony of this arbitrary cliff. Not making a deal plays into the hands of leaders on both sides. Once the spending cuts and tax hikes begin members of both parties can now keep their promises. High taxes are thrust upon us poor Americans, cuts to our social services are enacted and we begin to feel the pinch. A post cliff deal would allow the promises each party made to its supporters to be kept. Repubs can lessen the severity of the tax hikes and Dems can lessen the cuts to social programs. Everyone keeps their promises! That way they won't lose in primaries! Congressmen who are only in self preservation accomplish their primary goal of reelection! Yay for Congressmen! They finally compromised and saved the day! Except they really just gamed us and the system.
All of this to say that our hope should not be in governments or nations. It should not be in individual leaders or institutions.
Like Jesus we need to understand the basic nature of humanity. (John 2:23-25) That all have sinned, that all fall short. That none of us is perfect. Except for the One who came to us on Christmas day millenia ago.
Jesus did not run on selfish promotion but self sacrifice. Jesus came as a poor baby and ended up even lower, dying on a cross between thieves. He laid his life down so that we might be lifted up. He turns the games of this world on their head. And because of that Jesus is the real hero. The one who truly saves the day. If you are sick of the games, sick of manipulation and alternate agendas trust in the One who already gave the greatest gift, for you.

Whole Dog Journal's Blog September 23, 2012
High-Octane Dogs Need Special Homes
Posted at 05:08PM - Comments: (9)
I just finished reading a book about the life – and death -- of a special dog, a much-loved Border Collie. Of course, I cried like a baby at the end of it, knowing how hard it is to lose such a very special dog. I have to say I haven't cried like that in a long time, and even as I think about it now . . .
Somehow it really hit me especially hard, since the description of the dog reminded me so much of my dog DeeDee, who I still always think about. The dog in the book was independent, didn't care much for cuddling, kept her own counsel, but always aware of her owner's presence, whereabouts, and predicaments, and always wanted to work. DeeDee always wanted to be with me, though she, too, was not crazy about hearing sweet nothings. And when I took her to try out some sheep, she made my jaw drop; she knew exactly what she was supposed to do without having any prior experience. And yet, she wouldn't work with the sheep and the instructor unless I was in the ring. Once I entered the ring, she was ready to get to work. When her time was up, she ran over to me with the biggest grin on her face that I had ever seen, albeit an exhausted grin! She didn't get to work with sheep for a living, but she was a lucky dog in that she got to live on six acres with a swimming pool that she took great advantage of, other dogs that she got to harass, and enjoyed lots of games such as obedience and agility. She was also lucky in that I had the luxury of not needing to work 40-plus hours a week, loved to go running and hiking, and loved doing pretty much anything with her.
Both of these dogs were very lucky to land in the homes they did. I wonder how they would have survived if they had been adopted into a suburban or city pet home, occupants busy with work, kids, social lives. It really makes me sad when I see dogs who end up in circumstances that just don't work for them, don't meet any of their needs, and yet they try so hard to adapt, having no other choice. Their people try to make it work: condition, desensitize, habituate, DRI, DRO, extinguish, shape, Premack, reinforce, punish, chain, bridge, medicate, and so on. Sometimes everyone comes to a middle ground, it works to an extent, everyone continuing to work hard, yet the fit is never really right, the haunting existence of a whole different life somehow being missed. DeeDee would not have been the right fit for so many. My family was often amazed and puzzled by her level of intensity, and never would have wished for it. I loved her beyond compare.
I have seen these intense dogs become neurotic, exhibiting behaviors that are anything but normal. The behaviors come up out of necessity, as a side effect of a life not fulfilled, because they are jammed into an existence that has no way to meet their needs. I have seen it with some of the sporting breeds as well as the herding breeds. Their owners then have to try to get help for issues that percolate up because due to the mismatch. It's not unlike kids placed in the wrong adoptive environments, the situations that have no connection to their needs. They, too, are often medicated to try to make them fit where they just don't.
I always hope that breeders and rescues are sensitive to the results of their placements. I also hope that people searching for a dog understand that, although they had a young Brittany pup many years ago, and had the energy to tend to its needs, at a later point in their lives, it might make sense to look for a dog with less horsepower.
Tricia Breen has been involved with horses and dogs for most of her life. For the past five years, Tricia was the Director of Animal Care and Adoptions at Marin Humane Society, always keeping an eye toward helping dogs and volunteers with shelter life. She recently left this role and went back to assisting people with their dogs to build relationships, consulting with behavior and training issues. She can be reached via www.trishking.net as a new partner in this endeavor.

Shape-shifting UFO reportedly deadens sound around witness
An Idaho witness at Idaho Falls reported watching and photographing a fire-colored, shape-shifting object that seemed to silence natural sounds in the area when it passed over, according to testimony in Case 81932 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
|Witness Image 4 (Credit MUFON)
The witness was inside meditating when a sibling came inside to alert family that an unknown object was moving towards the house.
"While I was getting ready to go outside, my two nephews were already outside, and one of them turned on his phone camera to take video," the witness stated. "But he said the phone kept giving him an error when trying to take video. He switched to take pictures and he managed to take four images of the object."
|Witness image 5 (Credit MUFON)
The witness went outside and was informed by the nephews that the object could be seen in the northwest sky.
"I saw the object when it was leaving. It had a very intense red and orange color to it – very bright. My nephew was the one who took the images. He told me the object, before passing over the house,that it remained a sphere shape, but once it passed over the house it started to change shape. He said, 'The closest thing that this can resemble is one of those light sabers from that movie "StarWars."' It had that same effect. It would stretch. It would go from a sphere to a cigar shape and once it passed the house it went back to just being a sphere. He said all around the object there was this wave-like pattern of fire."
"Everything went super silent while the object passed by – no bird sounds, no wind sound, no car sounds, nothing. Just silence and this effect of sound cancelling was only when the object was passing over the house and everything went back to normal once the object left."

Dear Abby: My son and his wife just gave us the news that they are expecting their first child. They have waited five years for this wonderful milestone, and I am delighted. I know they will be excellent parents. I remember seeing a short poem in your column called "Success." Could you reprint it? I'd like to clip it and give it to the parents-to-be. – Marie in Dayton, Ohio
Dear Marie: I'm glad to oblige, and I hope your son and daughter-in-law will enjoy it. It was penned by Martin Buxbaum, a noted poet from Maryland who passed away in 1991. It's included in my "Keepers" booklet, which is a collection of often-requested gems that have appeared in this column. Because so many readers asked for copies of them, they were turned into a booklet. Read on:
You can use any measure
When you're speaking of success.
You can measure it in fancy home,
Expensive car or dress.
But the measure of your real success
Is the one you cannot spend.
It's the way your kids describe you
When they're talking to a friend.
"Keepers" covers subjects ranging from temptation to forgiveness, animals, children and human nature. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 in U.S. funds to: Dear Abby Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Filled with down-to-earth nuggets of wisdom, both witty and philosophical, "Keepers" is a quick and easy read, and an inexpensive, welcome gift for newly married couples, pet lovers, new parents or anyone recovering from an illness.
Dear Abby: My boss and his wife have been my friends for 25 years. I invited them to my daughter's wedding. His daughter is being married in three weeks and I have not yet received an invitation. I'm wondering why. Any thoughts? – Wondering in California
Dear Wondering: There could be any number of reasons why you weren't invited. Their daughter and her fiance may prefer that the money her parents would have spent on a large wedding be given to them instead for a down payment on a house or condo.
