I know everyone who attended dinner #31 must think I would for sure write about the one guest that had one too many drinks. In fact, that same night I announced to this particular guest, as well as to the rest of the table that I would do just that! And that there is no way in hell he would get away with his comments to his fiancée (also a guest) – "you will cook for me because that's what women do" (to name just one of many comments…are guys even legally allowed to say that these days?). Anyway, that was perhaps the longest run on sentence, forgive me for getting caught up in the emotion. There was, however, something else going on during dinner #31 which I found to be much more interesting. Without naming names, I found it fascinating that almost half of the guests we had over were on their way to start doing their own thing. Which got me thinking that what used to be the rise of the creative class is fast turning to be the rise of the entrepreneur generation. While there were many industries represented that night, there was one thing that tied us all together. We all new intuitively that today we have all the tools at our disposal in the case we decided to take our own independent path and begin executing on our ideas and interests. What are you good at? Whatever that may be, today's economy has a place for it. What is the one thing that makes you get up in the morning? You are bound to find a twitter group that uses that same interest as their personal internal alarm clock. What does your idea even look like? No matter what it is, you could probably make a prototype of it.
Amazed of the certainty of our dear entrepreneur spirited guests, I kept asking them if they were afraid to take the more uncertain path and of course they were, but it wasn't a question of whether or not they could deal with that fear. The attitude towards that more uncertain future was more about doing it because they "owed it to themselves". I also got the sense they felt they owed it to others like them as well, who are scared shitless to do cross over to uncertain territories. There was that sentiment of "if I do it, you can do it too" and this contagious behavior of "enterpeneurgitis" was rapidly spread through all the guests. Those who want to start their own gig want others to know that its ok, it can be done, and we can all be successful.
Thank you for those who keep pushing the limits and pushing others to do the same.

Building alterations [items 8 to 13]: background and scope of the law
The Group 12 construction reliefs were introduced in 1984 when alterations, extensions and home improvements became standard-rated. Initially the only clear cut case for relief was where a disabled person needed a downstairs bathroom or lavatory in his or her private residence where none already existed, or where doors needed widening or ramps constructed to facilitate the use of wheelchairs. The relief for bathroom and lavatories was subsequently extended to cover charity-run residential homes catering for disabled persons.
VAT law focused upon bathrooms, washrooms and toilets because it was considered that disabled people were most likely to encounter difficulties accessing personal hygiene and sanitation facilities. Relief was also given to certain work designed to facilitate access, namely the construction of ramps, widening of doorways and passages.
The current reliefs are capable of clear definition, but it would be very difficult to justify a borderline which, for example, distinguished between bedrooms and living rooms; and in practice it would be pointless to try and do so, since the use to which the room was put could be easily be changed.

I'm not dead/
And I have done a couple of things writing-wise over the last few weeks. Yes, yes, I know. Keep it quiet, ok. First up: My take on the current situation at Notts County, which was already out of date about six hours after it was written. That's Notts County for you.
Secondly, a quick thing from me at Soccerlens: Ten football league youngsters to watch out for in 2010.
Plus, there's a hugely bumper and fun-filled Christmas edition of the twofootedtackle podcast, featuring the Sound Of Football team from Some People Are On The Pitch and The Onion Bag.

Teams (2-5 players per team, all ages, all skill levels, same-sex or coed) compete in small turf rinks, in popup arenas, or in padded rooms (soccer, dodgeball, etc); there are minimal rules, no bounds, no coaches, and no referees; play is safe, fast-paced, and off the walls; matches are spontaneous or scheduled, and competition is balanced.
Atomic Rooms are self-provisioned, automated, modular, convenient, soundproof, semi-private rooms (approximately 40' by 60') where end-users control lighting, sound, video (capture and projection), and climate. Atomic rooms are designed to accommodate Rocket Sports, other fitness activities (e.g.: basketball, yoga, bodyweight, and flexibility training), education and civic uses, parties and events, and even the delivery of augmented reality experiences.
The fastest way to encourage the rapid spread of fast, fun Rocket Sports is to enable anyone anywhere to inexpensively build small, padded arenas. Atomic is engineering and testing inexpensive, modular, weather-resistant wall cells (think large, colorful, rectangular bags) that can be filled with recycled water bottles and then fastened together and stacked (optional) to form popup Rocket Arenas.
Communities, neighborhoods, and groups need a simple messaging and group scheduling platform that enables the spontaneous (versus bureaucratically scheduled and managed), elastic, democratic, and balanced formation of teams, matchplay, leagues, and tournaments (by age, skill, rating, gender, and geography). Likewise, groups need to be able to easily share costs (if any) and reserve play spaces.

Add a Girly Touch To Your Wardrobe!
29 Apr
We've got lots of on-trend androgynous looks in our wardrobe, to convey the idea of the empowered woman as well as to take advantage of its functionality. Yet, we still need to keep that girly side of ours with looks that exude romanticism, playfulness and femininity. Let's put the blazers aside for a while, and add some girly pieces to our shopping list. What do they look like?
Fit & Flare
This 50s-inspired silhouette will always be synonymous to the most desirable silhouette, the hourglass. Taylor Swift has taught us a lot about girliness. Our latest obsession is the Kate Spade Leopard Print Dress!
Full of Florals
Flowers have innocence and pureness inherent in them. They are a long distance away from the tough world of the urban setting and closer to nature. Girls like Taylor Swift and Zendaya love floral dresses such as the Kate Spade Daisy Dot Dress!
Brightly Hued
Girls are more daring with colors and more unconventional regarding their combinations. Neutrals are too grown-up and serious. Sometimes you need to pop out from the surroundings. Ashley Madekwe and Brittany Hampton wore bold DVF jumpsuits. Check the Emerson style too!
With Cute Details
Bows, flower appliqués, pom-poms, and textural whimsies remind you that you still want to play with the unexpected, and have fun with fashion. Fashion stylist Martha Ward and an array of fashionistas pick bow details to stand out. We like the Kate Spade LBD!
We all want that princess moment in our lives, that includes sparkles and tulles and other Cinderella-like elements. Bella Thorne and Dilshad Vadsaria were part of the dream in Alice + Olivia maxi hems. The Sybil gown is one of our faves!
It includes tennis skirts, rompers, trackpants and team jerseys, and an array of things that make us want to get back on field and play that game. Olivia Palermo is the Upper East Side Girl who looks awesome in sporty looks too. We recommend the MSGM sporty pants!
Peter pan collars, plaids, and pleats are the schoolish side of the things. This girly mix is more relevant than ever before. Jessica Alba, Olivia Palermo and other cool girls wear plaid all the time! Check our Sandro pick now!

Linky to the video will be after this, first up here are pics of SJ's Eunhyuk doing yet another parody from our beloved show. As any Gardener would know, it's the two signature scenes from the drama, The Sit-ups and the (infamous) Bed Scene #1:
Anyway, about the Joo Won parody: It's actually a rather simple set of scenes put together, but what made it (sorta) funny was the BG music, you might've recognize the Crazy Frog/ Annoying Orange-like song.
There's an interesting story behind this song, dubbed by Chinese netizens as the "Toss Onion Song". The song was featured in a scene in the anime Bleach, where the character was twirling a leek while singing a scat section of this traditional Finnish folk song, levan Polkka by four-member Finnish group Loituma.
The song debuted in 1996 but it wasn't until 2006 that song became a worldwide phenomenon, due to that episode in Bleach.
That concludes our little background story on the BG song, watch the Joo Wonnie vid here:

Editor's Note (6/9/09): If you're looking for IGN's review of the videogame Prototype, head over to IGN Xbox 360.
After last week's disappointing venture into the world of film noir we were hoping that this week's Smallville would put the story back on course for the season finale. While "Prototype" does have its moments, it lacks the punch, intensity and excitement that an episode should have this late into the season. We finally delve deeper into the Project Ares storyline but learn nothing new and the episode hypes up a fight between Wes (Battlestar Galactica's Tahmoh Penikett) and Clark that ends up being anticlimactic.
The problem with "Prototype" is that it doesn't introduce us to anything new. We already knew about Wes' connection to the woman who kidnapped Lex a few episodes ago. We've already seen the evidence that Project Ares is somehow connected to Lex's experiments on Meteor Freaks and that Senator Burke was involved. We already knew&#Array; well you get the picture. The only thing that we do learn in this episode is that Lois Lane just happened to spend some quality time with Wes back when she was an army brat and that isn't BIG news as much as it is convenient. In fact, it really only impacts the events of the episode so far as keeping Wes under control so that Clark has enough time to come in for the rescue.
With the episode being nothing more than a collection of short scenes that just piece together information we already knew, we still have the final confrontation between Wes and Clark to look forward to&#Array; right? Unfortunately, they don't build super soldiers like they used to because Clark dispatches this foe in what seemed like less time than it took to kill the mole man in "Subterranean." At one point, Wes is walking around invisible and Clark can't see him, but he still should be able to hear him with his abilities. We guess they turned off "super-hearing" for this episode.
Also, haven't we been led to believe that Clark Kent doesn't kill? There are several ways he could have tried to reason with or stop Wes before blowing a hole in his chest with heat vision. Maybe Clark is tired of good old diplomacy and is now going to start blasting his way through the enemy. There is no doubt he had every right to defend himself and we could even buy killing Wes after an exhausting attempt to stop him but instead he kills Wes within minutes of their second encounter. This is the biggest departure we have seen in quite some time from the Superman mythos as Clark will always look for another option before killing someone. After accidentally killing Titan earlier this season, Clark was full of remorse. Where was that this episode?
"Prototype" did have its moments though and seeing Lex's endgame finally being realized was a treat. It's interesting to see that Lex Luthor believes that Project Ares is for the good of mankind. Lex has become so delusional that he believes killing, experimenting on humans and hurting those he loves is the only way to keep humanity safe. It's a fascinating and dangerous path that Lex has chosen and it leads directly to the person we expect him to become. Out of all the characters on the show, Lex's progression continues to be the most realistic.
Unfortunately, we wish the same could be said about Clark who after six seasons still makes "puppy dog" faces whenever he hears Lana's name. Not only that, his attitude towards Chloe this episode was inexcusable. We're expected to believe that this character has aged from the farm boy in season one but his attitude is nothing short of childish. It would be great to see the same amount of evolution in character that Lex has had; but that is more of a slight against the series in general and not just this episode.

Description This project enables a point feature layer to be drawn with the features moved so that none of their symbols overlap. An accompanying property page allows the properties of the renderer to be set via the ArcMap user interface.
Design PointDispersalRenderer is a subtype of the FeatureRenderer abstract class. PointDispersalPropertyPage implements the standard property page interfaces.
License required ArcView or above.
Libraries Carto, CartoUI, Display, DisplayUI, Framework, Geodatabase, Geometry, and System
Languages Visual Basic
Categories ESRI Renderer Property Pages
Interfaces IFeatureRenderer, IPersistVariant, ILegendInfo, IComPropertyPage, IComEmbeddedPropertyPage, and IRendererPropertyPage.
How to use
Your layer will now draw using the point dispersal renderer.
Imagine that you have a point feature class where many of the points lie close to or on top of each other. You would like to force the points to all display individually, even if it means that the point is drawn slightly away from its true location.
Some point datasets have features close to or an top of each other. A custom feature renderer can be developed to disperse the point symbols so all the features can be seen.
Before describing the custom feature renderer solution, it is worth noting that there are many different approaches to this problem. A custom layer is probably a more complete solution, since for this particular problem the custom renderer will result in the selection tools not working properly.
Another approach to dispersing the points would be to label the features with a single character, placed directly over the feature; the labelling functionality could then be used to avoid overlapping labels, although in this scenario it is hard to ensure all features are labelled.
By reviewing the Display object diagram, you can see that all renderer classes inherit from the FeatureRenderer abstract class. Therefore, any type of custom renderer you create should begin by implementing the IFeatureRenderer interface, along with interfaces for cloning and persistence.
You can see that there are a few other interfaces that are commonly implemented by a renderer, such as IRendererFields, IRotationRenderer, IBarrierProperties2, IDataExclusion, IDataNormalization, ILookupSymbol, and ITransparencyRenderer. You will not need to implement any of these interfaces in this example; however, you can find more information on implementing these interfaces at the end of this example.
In the DisplayUI object diagram, you can also see that each renderer has an associated property page class. In the ArcMap user interface, this not only allows a user to assign an instance of the custom renderer to a layer, but also to alter the properties of the renderer.
To answer the display requirements described above, you will create a custom feature renderer called PointDispersalRenderer, that disperses the points as necessary to avoid their symbols overlapping.
You will also provide an accompanying property page implementation for your class.
The IFeatureRenderer interface is the core of a renderer. The main method that will be called by the ArcGIS framework is Draw, at which point, it is the job of your renderer to draw the feature layer in any way you specify.
The Draw method receives a reference to the Display to which the renderer should draw and also a feature cursor indicating the features to be drawn. Start by identifying the Symbol you will be drawing the feature with; this is stored in the LegendGroup for this renderer (see the Implementing ILegendInfo section for more information).
Private SubIFeatureRenderer_Draw(
AsIFeatureCursor, _
AsITrackCancel) ...
SetpSym = m_pLegendGroup.Class(0).Symbol Display.SetSymbol pSym ...
SetpFeature = Cursor.NextFeature
Draw also receives a trackCancel parameter, which indicates if the user has pressed the Esc key to cancel the drawing. This is important, since the point dispersal could become slow in extreme situations with large datasets. This is a suitable point to check the cancel tracker. You should also check this cancel tracker at the end of the main drawing loop.
As Boolean If NottrackCancel
Is Nothing ThenbContinue = trackCancel.Continue
The Draw method provides the main functionality of a renderer; Draw receives a reference to a FeatureCursor, which contains all
the features the renderer should draw.
You should check the cancel tracker and stop drawing if it indicates the user has pressed Esc.
Implement the main Draw method loop by iterating through the feature cursor, taking each feature in turn, and drawing to the specified Display by calling the PlaceFeature function to find the dispersed location chosen for the feature.
Do While(
Is Nothing)
And(bContinue =
SetpPoint = pFeature.Shape ... PlaceFeature pPoint, 0, pGeomColl, Display, pSym, pPlacedPoint, _ pSymPoly, dDispersalDist ... pGeomColl.AddGeometry pSymPoly.Envelope Display.DrawPoint pPlacedPoint ...
SetpFeature = Cursor.NextFeature
If NottrackCancel
Is Nothing ThenbContinue = trackCancel.Continue
Each time a feature is drawn, add the Envelope of the feature to a GeometryBag variable, which holds the extent of all the dispersed points placed so far and is passed in to the PlaceFeature function each time to allow the function to identify where features have previously been placed.
Drawing the features
Note that the actual drawing is done with IDisplay::SetSymbol and then, for each feature, IDisplay::DrawPoint. This is not typical for a custom renderer; it is general practice for the renderer to pass the relevant symbol to the IFeatureDraw::Draw method on the feature. Calling IFeatureDraw::Draw allows custom features to use their own drawing methods. In the case of the point dispersal example, the rendering is incompatible with IFeatureDraw since the feature is to be drawn potentially away from its true location.
Generally, custom renderers should draw the features on the display by calling IFeatureDraw::Draw.
If drawing directly to the display, there is no need to call IDisplay::StartDrawing and IDisplay::FinishDrawing, since you are already inside a drawing phase started by the ArcGIS framework.
PlaceFeature function
The actual dispersal of the points is done in the PlaceFeature function. A geometry bag of symbol envelopes is cached, which records all the currently drawn points on the display.
Each feature is first placed at its true location. If the symbolized feature overlaps any of the already drawn features in the layer, then a new attempt to place it is made at a certain distance away.
All four points of the compass are tried, and then the dispersal distance is increased until the feature is eventually placed, and its envelope added to the geometry bag.
PlaceFeatures calculates a new location for a feature, so it does not overlap other features that have already been drawn.
Layer draw phases
There are three draw phases for a layergeography, annotation, and selection. Except for the selection phase, the Draw method of a renderer will be called for each phase that you specify in IFeatureRenderer::RenderPhase.
Private Property GetIFeatureRenderer_RenderPhase(
As_ esriDrawPhase)
As Boolean IfdrawPhase = esriDPGeography
ThenIFeatureRenderer_RenderPhase =
True ElseIFeatureRenderer_RenderPhase =
False End IfEnd Property
Draw is then also called for the selection phase if there are selected features on the display. The example chooses to ignore this phase, since the features are dispersed from their true locations and thus incompatible with the selection tool. Incidentally, raising E_FAIL from your Draw routine for a selection phase will result in the default selection rendering for the layer.
For an example of a renderer that uses the annotation phase, see the 'BivariateRenderers' sample in the ArcGIS Developer Help.
Drawing during debugging
There is one more thing to mention about drawing features to the display. If you are debugging your custom renderer with Visual Basic 6, the features will not display on the map, as the Display has a process-dependent device context. See Chapter 2, 'Developing Objects', for more information on debugging.
With the Visual Basic 6 debugger, the features drawn by a custom renderer will not appear on the display.
Preparing the query filter
Before IFeatureRenderer::Draw is called, you are given an opportunity to modify the query filter that produces the feature cursor in the PrepareFilter method. In this method, you must add into the filter any fields you need for your renderer. The point dispersal renderer does not rely on any particular attributes.
The PrepareFilter method gives you a chance to specify which fields your renderer needs to perform drawing.
However, the ExclusionSet property allows the framework to specify that a renderer should exclude a certain set of features from drawing.
Private Property SetIFeatureRenderer_ExclusionSet(
ByValpFeatureIDSet _
Setm_pExclusionSet = pFeatureIDSet
End Property
Therefore, if there is a set of features that have been specified in ExclusionSet, you need to make sure that the object ID field name is added to the QueryFilter parameter.
Private SubIFeatureRenderer_PrepareFilter(
AsIFeatureClass, _
If Notm_pExclusionSet
Is Nothing Then Ifm_pExclusionSet.Count > 0
ThenQueryFilter.AddField fc.OIDFieldName
End If End If End Sub
If you implement IFeatureRenderer::ExclusionSet, you must ensure the object ID field is fetched with PrepareFilter.
Although the PointDispersalRenderer example implements IFeatureRenderer::ExclusionSet, it is unlikely that you would find that an exclusion set is used with this renderer in ArcMap, since the ExclusionSet is mainly related to the Convert Features to Graphics command, which is inappropriate with this renderer.
Other client programs however may make their own exclusion sets. Note that if clients call IFeatureRenderer::ExclusionSet directly it will be ignored, since the feature layer exclusion set overrides the renderer exclusion set. If you use IGeoFeatureLayer::ExclusionSet this will be passed down to the renderer.
The query filter is used by the ArcGIS framework to produce the feature cursor passed to the Draw method. It is actually a spatial filter (you could QI for ISpatialFilter to prove this to yourself), with the display extent being used to limit which features are returned.
You will find that there are normally more features in the cursor than are within the display extent, since the spatial filter criteria is set against the spatial index rather than the feature geometries. It is more efficient for the renderer to draw these offscreen features than have a slower query. In the case of data that does not have a spatial index (for example, some shapefiles), you will find all the features in the dataset are present in the feature cursor.
You may find features in the cursor that are not within the current display extent. It is generally more efficient to draw these features than to check their extent yourself. ArcGIS has produced the query for speed of execution.
For layers with feature class extensions or custom features, the query filter may already have some subfields set, as it is the feature layer rather than the renderer that is responsible for checking IFeatureClassDraw::RequiredFieldsForDraw.
CanRender property
If you want to restrict which layers your custom renderer can be applied to, such as being applicable only to line layers, then in your implementation of IFeatureRenderer::CanRender, you can test properties of the feature layer and return True if your renderer supports it and False if it does not.
The CanRender property should indicate if a renderer can draw a certain FeatureClass.
In your code, ensure the PointDispersalRenderer can only be applied to point layers.
Private FunctionIFeatureRenderer_CanRender(
ByValfeatClass _
As Boolean IffeatClass.ShapeType = esriGeometryPoint
ThenIFeatureRenderer_CanRender =
True ElseIFeatureRenderer_CanRender =
False End If End Function
Other types of renderers may check for other things about the FeatureClass or Display references passed infor example, a renderer specially designed for networks may check if the FeatureClass contains a particular type of network feature by checking the IFeatureClass::FeatureType property.SymbolByFeature method
The SymbolByFeature method should return the symbol appropriate to a given feature. For the PointDispersalRenderer, this is simple, since the point dispersal renderer only uses one symbol for all featuresnote that you can only return the original locations of the features.
SymbolByFeature is called repeatedly by the ArcMap Convert Features to Graphics tool, and hence this command, when called on a layer symbolized with a PointDispersalRenderer, will generate graphics in the original feature locations.
SymbolByFeature should return the symbol the renderer would use to draw a specific, individual feature.
Using SymbolByFeature also enables the possibility of containing other renderers within your custom renderer. Imagine that in the example, you would like to disperse the points, but instead of a single symbol, you use one of other symbology options such as proportional symbols or unique values. This could be achieved by keeping a reference to a contained renderer class, your custom renderer, then for each feature in the Draw loop, calling SymbolByFeature on the contained renderer to determine the symbol to use. In the ArcGIS Developer Help, you can see that the 'BivariateRenderers' sample custom renderer operates in this way.
ILegendInfo is often quite straightforward to implement. This interface ensures the table of contents and legends are able to show a list of the symbols, labels, and headings your renderer is using. In the IFeatureRenderer::Draw method, you have already seen how you can reuse the existing LegendGroup and LegendClass objects and use these to hold the symbols with which your custom renderer will draw.
ILegendInfo helps link a renderer with the table of contents.
Declare a member variable to hold a reference to a LegendGroup.
Use m_LegendGroup to return the values of the LegendGroupCount, LegendGroup, and LegendItem properties. The LegendGroup is set up in the class initialization code and by the IDispersalRenderer interfacesee the example code project for full details.
Return False from SymbolsAreGraduated, and do not allow this property to be changed, as you will not implement any symbol graduation functionality to the PointDispersalRenderer.
You need to provide a way for clients to change the Symbol used by the PointDispersalRenderer and also the dispersal distance.
Create an interface called IDispersalRenderer, with two read-write properties, DispersalRatio and Symbol. Implement IDispersalRenderer in the PointDispersalRenderer coclass. For more information on how you can create a new interface, see Chapter 2, 'Developing Objects'.
Private Property SetIDispersalRenderer_Symbol(
Setm_pLegendGroup.Class(0).Symbol = pSymbol
End Property
The custom IDispersalRenderer interface provides access to the symbol and dispersal distance used by the renderer.
The Symbol property is set into the first Class of the LegendGroup, which means that the LegendGroup contains the correct symbol and will display correctly in a legend or table of contents. Note that the Symbol property is passed by reference.
Private Property LetIDispersalRenderer_DispersalRatio(
As Double) m_dDispersalRatio = RHS
End Property
The dispersal ratio value is used by the PlaceFeature function, as described previously. You will create a renderer property page, which will be the main consumer of IDispersalRenderer.
You must implement the standard persistence interface or interfaces, to preserve the state of the renderer in a map document (.mxd) or layer file (.lyr). Implement IPersistStream and IPersistStream if using VC++ or IPersistVariant if using VB.
A renderer must be persistable.
In your PointDispersalRenderer, you need to save the legend group, which is the dispersal distance ratio. Any objects you persist must implement IPersistStream (as does the legend group) or IPersistVariant.
Private SubIPersistVariant_Save(
'Persistence version numberStream.Write m_lCurrPersistVers Stream.Write m_pLegendGroup Stream.Write m_dDispersalRatio
End Sub
See Chapter 2, 'Developing Objects', for more information about the version checking used in the PointDispersalRenderer persistence code.
Implementing a custom renderer property page will allow users to interact with the settings of your custom renderer. By registering the property page in the ESRI Renderer Property Pages component category, the page will appear on the Symbology tab of the Layer Properties dialog box along with all the standard symbology options. The Symbology tab is itself a property page; therefore, your property page needs to be an embedded property page.
Define your custom renderer property page as a class called PointDispersalPropertyPage, that implements the standard interfaces for an embedded property page and the IRendererPropertyPage interface.
Design your UI on a form as shown belowyou can place all the controls and descriptive text for the main part of the page onto another control, which has a window handle (the example project uses a Picture box control). Reference this form through a private data member in the PointDispersalPropertyPage class.
The interfaces implemented on a property page class are dependent upon your development environment; refer to Chapter 2, 'Developing Objects', for general information on implementing property page interfaces. This discussion will follow the use of the interfaces implemented in the VB example project.
The Applies method may not actually be called for an embedded page; however, it is best practice to implement this method fully anyway. Return True if you find a PointDispersalRenderer.
SetpObj = Objects.Next
Do While Not TypeOfpObj
SetpObj = Objects.Next
Is Nothing ThenIComPropertyPage_Applies =
False Exit Function End If Loop
In the SetObjects method, you are passed a set of objectsyou should find the renderer in this list, check it is a PointDispersalRenderer, then initialize the controls on the accompanying form using the properties of the supplied renderer.
As Variant SetpObj = Objects.Next
Do UntilpObj
Is Nothing If TypeOfpObj
Then Setm_pRenderer = pObj m_frmPage.InitControls m_pRenderer
End If SetpObj = Objects.Next
The Applies and SetObjects methods should both check that they are passed a reference to a PointDispersalRenderer.
The PointDispersalRenderer property page only requires a reference to the renderer itself. However, the object set passed to SetObjects will also include the map, feature layer, and feature class. If you are adapting this example to create a different kind of renderer, you may need these references to allow users to set the properties of the renderer correctly.
The Apply method is triggered when the user clicks Apply or OK on the layer properties property sheet. After calling this method the framework will set the renderer supplied in SetObjects as the live renderer. As shown in the example project code, you can use the implementation of IComEmbeddedPropertyPage::QueryObject to apply the changes to the renderer object.
Private SubIComPropertyPage_Apply() IComEmbeddedPropertyPage_QueryObject m_pRenderer
End Sub
Use IComPropertyPage::Priority to control where your renderer appears in the listbox of available renderers. Use a lower number to have your renderer and category appear toward the top of the list (the priority of the first page in a category controls where that category fits in the list). Generally, you should use a high number for custom renderers to ensure they display after the standard renderersfor the PointDispersalPropertyPage, return a value of 600.
The table below lists standard renderer property pages and their priorities.
|Single symbol
|Unique values
|Unique values, many fields
|Match to symbols in a style
|Graduated symbols
|Proportional symbols
|Dot density
|Quantity by category
Implementing IComEmbeddedPropertyPage
Custom renderer property pages fall into the class of embedded property pages. In VC++ you should ensure you implement the CreateCompatibleObject and QueryObject members of IPropertyPageContext; in VB you will need to implement IComEmbeddedPropertyPage.
In ArcMap, users choose from different symbology options from the tree view on the Layer Properties Symbology tab. Because the internal representation of each option is a different renderer object, as the user chooses a new option, a new renderer is being edited. In some cases, properties are preserved during this transition. For example, when a user switches between the Bar chart and Pie chart options, the renderer fields and symbols are preserved from the old to the new renderer.
As you will create an embedded property page, the properties of your renderer can be preserved when users switch between types of renderer.
In addition to managing the retention of properties from an old renderer, you should also use CreateCompatibleObject to avoid excessive cloning of renderers. In this method check to see if the in parameter is an object of the type your page should edit. If so, return that same object. If not, create and return a new renderer object of the proper type.
Private FunctionIComEmbeddedPropertyPage_CreateCompatibleObject(
As Variant)
As Variant DimpDispersalRend
If TypeOfkind
Then SetpDispersalRend = kind
Else SetpDispersalRend =
NewPointDispersalVB.Renderer ...
End If SetIComEmbeddedPropertyPage_CreateCompatibleObject = pDispersalRend
End Sub
If you want, you can also copy any compatible properties you can find.
SetpDispersalRend =
NewPointDispersalVB.Renderer If TypeOf kind
Then DimpLegendInfo

CreateCompatibleObject should return a PointDispersalRenderer. You can attempt to copy any compatible properties from the renderer reference passed in to the PointDispersalRenderer.
In the QueryObject method, apply the changes made on the property page to the supplied object. This renderer will become the live renderer for the layer.

If NottheObject

Then SetpRenderer = theObject m_frmPage.ApplyToRenderer pRenderer

Typically, a property page creates a temporary object and allows changes to this object. Then, if the Apply or OK buttons are clicked, the temporary renderer replaces the 'live' renderer object on the feature layer. If the Cancel button is clicked, then the temporary renderer is discarded.
The ArcGIS framework automatically creates the temporary renderer by cloning the renderer on the layer before passing it to your page, so it is not necessary for your code to make a copy. Note that this cloning will make use of the persistence code for your renderer, as renderers do not support IClone.
All renderer property pages implement an additional interface IRendererPropertyPage. Some of its properties will appear on the ArcMap Symbology property page, which will be the container of your property page when displayed in the Layer Properties dialog box. These properties help guide users when accessing your custom page.
The Description string will appear at the top of the parent page, and the PreviewImage will appear in the bottom left of the dialog box. A preview image size of 116 by 88 pixels will display at a 1:1 ratioif the image is larger or smaller, it will be scaled to fit the preview box. IRendererPropertyPage::Name appears in the tree view on the left side of the symbology property page.
For IRendererPropertyPage::Type, use 'Custom Renderers', so that your renderer displays in the same category as the other renderer developer samples. If you use an already existing Type (for example, 'Features'), your renderer will appear under that category, listed by Priority order.
IRendererPropertyPage is used to edit the items on a property page that are common to all renderers. The Preview property gives users an idea of how a renderer will display.The Type property dictates where your renderer will appear in the listbox of available renderers. The Name property is used to display an entry for the custom renderer in the list.
In IRendererPropertyPage::CanEdit you should check the in parameter to make sure your custom page can edit the specified renderer. Typically, your custom property page will only edit your custom renderer. For the PointDispersalPropertyPage, you can check for the presence of the IDispersalRenderer interface to identify your renderer.
Private FunctionIRendererPropertyPage_CanEdit(
As_ IFeatureRenderer)
As Boolean If TypeOfobj
ThenIRendererPropertyPage_CanEdit =
True ElseIRendererPropertyPage_CanEdit =
False End If End Function
If you create a different kind of renderer, it is well worthwhile defining an interface, which will uniquely identify your renderer to help you implement CanEdit.
Note that standard renderers also implement CanEdit in this way, which has implications for the interfaces you might like to implement on a custom renderer.
For example, it might make sense for the point dispersal renderer to implement ISimpleRenderer, since all of its methods and properties are appropriate. However, this would cause problems with the property page. The Features/Single Symbol property page will return True from CanEdit for any renderer that implements ISimpleRenderer. As this page has a higher priority than the custom property page, the wrong page would be shown for a point dispersal renderer. In practice, it is straightforward to avoid implementing the interfaces that identify the standard renderers as they are all named similarly to their coclasses.
Each renderer has an interface that identifies it to its property page.
Now you are ready to use your renderer. See the Managing custom feature renderers topic for further advice.

In addition to the primary focuses of my legal practice, labor\employment and civil litigation, I also do work as what is commonly referred to as a sports agent. What I and another attorney (Joe Dicochea) in the office I work in (Law Office of Charles A. Goldwasser) do is legal representation of professional athletes. The main difference of what we do and that of a true sports agent is that we also practice law and therefore are governed more strictly by the rules covering attorney's behavior.
With Spring\Summer sports underway and our Beach Volleyball and Baseball clients trying to make a living, I thought I would try to give some basic ideas of how to get a sponsor in beach volleyball. For those of you who don't know me I play pro-beach volleyball and have been sponsored by Roof Sportswear for the past 5 years and Reebok Eyewear going on three years now. Even though my name is not a household word when discussing volleyball I have been able, for the last 10 years, to get some big name volleyball companies to sponsor me in the sport I love.
The first question I get asked, other than who are you, is "How do you get a sponsor?" My first response is usually well what can you do for a sponsor. After the questionable gaze of what do mean what can I do I explain. There are literally thousands of people out on the beach that are willing to pay to wear any particular line of clothes, why should any company actually give you money to wear their clothes. The player has to realize there is nothing for free in this world. While you may not have to pay in terms of cash you will in terms of sweat.
A sponsor provide equipment or product, and hopefully financial assistance, to a player in return for advertisement, exposure and promotion of their respective product. For example Roof Sportswear provides clothes and assistance but in return wants increase sales, new clients or new markets. Reebok Eyewear provides sunglasses in hope to get their name into the sun glass market, and to increase sales. The player therefore becomes a spokesman, a representative of the company. A professional relationship is formed.
What an athlete needs to do is figure out what their needs are and research what companies are out there that can fill there needs. Most athletes are willing to accept or wear anything if it's free but they must remember that not only will they be tied exclusively to that particular product for the duration of the sponsorship contract but will also be tying their name to the product for the length of the contract and beyond. It the product is worthless then people remember that you endorsed it way back when.
The second step is to make contact with a company and this usually means contacting the company's promotion and marketing department or their advertising people. This is when most people get scared off. The athlete will be told to submit a resume and a profile then the company will get back to them. You need to have one ready. The resume is not different then one a person would use when looking for a job, but now it is about 75% sports and 25% real life information. A profile is just an accounting of your accomplishments as an athlete, a brief description of yourself and a photo so they have a face to put the paper to.
Don't get scared off. You can never get a sponsor unless you ask. If you can't take rejection then you will have to finance yourself for ever. Companies rarely approach athletes because they don't want to look desperate and rather deal with an agent of representative that is more experienced on the business side. This does not mean you must have an agent, but you will have to act like you know what you are doing.
The athlete then must be able to not only sell him\herself but also the sport of volleyball. Very few companies have experience with this sport and are blind to why there are only two people on a team and why we don't have set partners. You must educate them and then sell them. Companies use this time to evaluate your ability to represent their product. If you can't sell them on you, then you can't sell their product. (sell means promote).
Once a relationship is formed, handle it as a professional partnership. Provide the company with feed back on their products, keep them informed of your activities and results. Companies hate to only hear from an athlete when they need more product or are asking for more money. If you call once a year then that contract will be for that one year. A side note, if a player changes sponsor every year companies will know and most likely see that you don't understand loyalty... there goes any hopes of getting the initial contract.
Finally, do not over do the request for product or money. Figure out what you need and ask just for what you need. By the same token a couple pairs of shorts, a few t-shirts and a hat are not enough. You need enough to wear the line exclusively at all times including while training, during competition, and after the events. You need enough to represent the company in a professional and credible manner.
If you think an agent is needed, and at the higher ranks it is, be careful. A lot of my clients come to me because they know they can trust me and have been mistreated and cheated by other agents. Using our office for example, we take a percentage of any money contract we obtain. We do not charge for trying to get the contract so our clients only pay us if we produce results. If you need an agent or want one checked out, feel free to contact me.
Remember the bottom line is you have to ask. There will be a lot of rejection but it never hurts to ask.

Ship Model, Florida Sloop-Rigged Fishing Sharpie
Ship Model, Florida Sloop-Rigged Fishing Sharpie
- Description
- This model represents a sharpie, a flat-bottom sailboat with a triangular sail used by fishermen in St. Andrews Bay, Florida. On the Florida Gulf Coast, St. Andrews Bay was known for fishing, and during the Civil War, salt-making. This class of sharpie was known for its steadiness due to bow and stern skegs. In addition to the mainsail and jib, this sharpie type was also equipped with a pair of oars. This model represents a sharpie about 20 feet long and 5½ feet wide. The model was given to the Smithsonian by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries in 1894.

I stumbled across this video doing the rounds on facebook and thought it was decent enough to give it a share.
This whole concept of 'random acts of kindness' (which are not random at all) is becoming very popular at the moment. If you recall, when the 'neck-nominate' fad was popular some people were countering it with nominating people to do random acts of kindness. I believe this is fantastic, and while I don't think we should video every act of kindness we do, I feel that sometimes a video can encourage us all to rethink our attitude towards kindness.
I am an evangelical Christian, and sometimes, us evangelicals can get caught up in wrong theology. It is easy to get caught up in the mindset that if an action doesn't lead someone to Christ it is worthless. This can sometimes be a crippling attitude to have, and may limit or even prevent us from doing anything good unless we can justify it with some sort of full on gospel presentation. Please do not misunderstand what I am saying; as the one need humanity has is to hear the gospel. BUT I believe we must reconsider of approach at times. It is not bad to do nice things. It is not worthless to see someone who is struggling, suffering or in need and help them in an immediate way. Just check out Jesus as an example. Feeding the 5,000, turning water into wine, or his many acts of healing. While these acts of extreme kindness were not the message, these actions pointed to who he was.
In the same way our actions point to the kind of people we are.
1 John 4 talks about what love is. Love is an action. We know what love is because of Jesus and his action love. We have a message, but does our message contain an action also?
I find these reminders that we can do some good for others by meeting an immediate need extremely helpful. It challenges my heart for the world. If I don't look at their immediate struggles and feel a strong urge to help I doubt my heart really yearns for them to be helped by the gospel.

- encourages student engagement - material in and outside of classroom
- creates an organised space
- gives you opportunity to get extra information which you might not get in class
- reduces email messages because students are posting on wall instead. Besides, who even checks emails?
- students are on facebook anyway
Facebook should definitely be used as a learning tool because there is so much you can learn. One thing students need to learn is how to use it responsibly, and how to identify responsible and irresponsible behavior. Employers are using Facebook to screen applicants these days also, so to prepare our children for the work force they need to know what employers are looking for and how not to make costly mistakes.
Facebook is a great social networking tool. I, however, would not want my young son or daughter even on facebook due to the nature some of the adult content of the site. There are simply too many other sources of information out there to ascertain knowledge from. Find other sources.


text: Join Anastacia Tomson for a discussion of her memoir, "Always Anastacia: A Transgender Life in South Africa", facilitated by Erin Bates. The book is a candid and honest account of Anastacia's experiences, offering readers an intimate glimpse into her life, as she navigates her own transition. About the Book: "I stand in front of the mirror as I remind myself that I no longer have to wear the 'uniform'. I can grow my nails, and paint them. I am free, finally, to have my ears pierced. I can use the voice that I've spent so many hours meticulously cultivating with my speech therapist. I no longer have to hide my disgust at being called 'boet' or sir, or tolerate any references to my deadname. I have fought hard, held back for decades by a body that did not fit and an identity that did not belong. At first, it had seemed like transition was a vague and unattainable aspiration, a romantic ideal that was incompatible with reality. But now – after five months of hormone therapy, countless sessions of painful laser hair removal and multiple appointments with doctors and psychologists – it is very much a reality . . ." Born into a Jewish family in Johannesburg and raised by her parents as a boy, Anastacia Tomson was never sure just how much of her persistent internal discomfort to blame on her often troubled family life and strict upbringing. She qualified and practised as a doctor, but it would take a great deal more clear-sighted and difficult questioning, not least of the medical fraternity, to finally find peace and self-acceptance. This memoir is a clarion call for a more nuanced understanding of trans people and the concepts of sex, gender and identity. It is a courageous account of self-discovery and transition as Anastacia embraces her truth, as the woman she has always been.

Frank's move ties lobbyists in knots
Frank's comments stirred up angst among the lobbyists, even those who would like to see Frank's bill prevail. It's difficult to lobby for either version of the legislation for fear of getting caught in a power struggle between two powerful chairmen, some say.
But the possibility of TRIA's Dec. 31 deadline passing without a solid resolution is a bigger worry to insurers as well as the businesses that need to buy terrorism insurance.
Without clearer guidance about which version will prevail, insurers will have difficulty figuring out whether they should write policies beyond the 120-day deadline. Such uncertainty, they argue, would extend to policyholders and lenders providing financing for new business ventures, a negative consequence that could ripple deeper into the economy.
All the industry groups feel they lose out if Frank is forced to play his temporary extension chip. But at least one faction may be more fearful of negotiations.
Small and medium insurers abhor the House bill's expanded coverage to nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological attacks. Supporters of the House bill say insurers will never offer the unconventional coverage that commercial customers need without such a mandate.
While larger insurers made peace with the House provision, smaller underwriters claim it could drive them out of the market. The expanded coverage mandate would be one of the biggest issues on the House-Senate negotiating table.
It's too early to tell how this game of chicken will play out.
It is true that Dodd legislates from a more difficult position than Frank. Democrats hold only a one-seat majority on the Senate banking panel. His party enjoys only the slimmest of majorities in the full chamber, as well, 51-49, far short of the 60-vote hurdle any bill must surmount. That ups the pressure on Dodd to produce legislation his Republican colleagues will support. Add the White House veto threat into the mix, and the legislation is a real headache for Dodd already.
But Frank's parry may change the equation for the banking chairman, a longtime ally of the insurance industry who clearly wants to pass a terrorism insurance extension. Should Congress miss the Dec. 31 deadline, will the threat of economic pain force Dodd and Republican terrorism insurance opponents to blink?
"Sen. Dodd is committed to advancing this legislation so that our nation's workers and businesses will continue to have terrorism insurance," said Marvin Fast, a spokesman for the committee.
"It's a very clever move," said one industry lobbyist. "It's Frank saying, 'You know this isn't going to be put on me. We passed our bill early, and I want you to know right now that I'm prepared to go to that mat on this thing.'"

*Purchase links support this blog
Battered, barefoot, and huddled under a bookstore awning in the pouring rain, Blue only knows one thing. After fifteen months of captivity, finally… she is free.
Self-made millionaires JD and Ark are not out to save anyone when they stumble upon a wet and shivering girl one early Sunday morning. But when you sell sex for a living and salvation rings your bell… you answer the call.
After years of searching, love lifts the veil of darkness, and three people—with three very big secrets—find themselves bound together in a relationship that defies the odds.
Or does it?
Love. Lust. Sex.
This trinity might be perfection… but not everything should come in 3's.
WARNING: This is a STANDALONE non-traditional M/F/M ROMANCE with a non-traditional ending.
Watch the book trailer
I walk quietly over to the door and press my ear against it to listen. I can hear the clicking of a computer keyboard, then the rolling wheels of a chair. Finally soft footsteps as he pads towards the doors. I back away, afraid of being caught. But he doesn't slide them open. Instead, the lights flick off and then his footsteps retreat. I hear the crack of a beer bottle being opened, and then a sigh.
I slide the doors apart, just enough to peek inside.
There's a large monitor on the desk sitting on front of a wall of windows. And on the screen are the images he took of me this morning. Of JD and me. And of the three of us out on the terrace. They flip by, hundreds of them, at least. Maybe thousands. I look over at the couch where he's sitting with a beer propped up on his leg, staring at me.
"You can look at them if you come in here to do it."
I don't know how he wants me to respond, so I'm unsure if I want to look at them or run back to JD's room and hide.
"I'm sorry about that," Ark says, clearing his throat. "It's just… JD stopped thinking about her, ya know? It took him so fucking long to stop thinking about her. And now here you are with a clue. And…"
I step into the room.
"And he's gonna go looking for shit again, I just know it."
I take another step towards him and Ark pats the space on the couch next to him. "I love these pictures. Come look at them with me."
I take two more steps, and then I'm within arm's reach and he slips his hand in mine.
My body shivers from his touch, but I let him pull me the rest of the way, and take a seat as he lets go. My butt is barely perched on the cushion, my hands in my lap, my body on high alert in case he wants to hurt me.
But he doesn't. He surprises me by scooting away, propping his back against the armrest, and stretching out his legs behind me. They are long and in the way, so now I can't lean back.
He takes a swig from his beer. "I saw you this morning. God, has it only been one day?" I know what he means. It feels like I've been in their house forever. "And answers were the last thing on my mind, Blue. I mean, fuck. I'd given up, just like JD. I gave up a while back, actually. Just accepted that this was the way things were. The way my life was gonna go. But fuck."
I don't know what any of that means, but I take that it's not good by the way he finishes the beer and then throws it across the room, where it lands cleanly in an open-top trash can near the desk. "Get me another one, will you?"
I look down at him and squint.
He stares back. His eyes are bleary, and red, and now that I look closely, tired. Not tired like he needs sleep. But tired in a way I can relate to. The kind of tired where your body feels heavy and your mind feels empty. "Never mind," he says in a soft voice that I've never heard before. He says it, but he doesn't stop staring.
"What?" I ask, getting uncomfortable.
"Why'd you come in here?"
"I was…" I was looking for my money so I could leave. But this guy. These guys… they are pulling me towards them somehow. JD and his charm. Ark and his distance. And despite the fact that they take advantage of girls for a living, they feel very… vulnerable. It feels precarious. Like the whole thing might come crashing down at any moment. Like they are held together by some invisible thread. And not some mental connection or shared experience, either. Although I have no doubt they have all that too.
Held together by a thread that's invisible because it's nearly gone.
We are alike, then. Aren't we?
Three people brought together by the early-morning rain.
Two of us clinging together, trying to stick it out. Ride the wave until it crashes, and then help each other up to start all over again.
One of us already dead. Still walking, but not living. Waiting to be saved. Or maybe wanting to be the one who does the saving.

This is a tutorial on how to use the GRADEPro GDT guidelines development tool for appraisal of articles. The tutorial assumes that the student has little experience of working with Gradepro and walks through in several steps how to use this tool. Grading of evidence is an essential action to be taken by practitioners of evidence based medicine and public health yet the tools are not very intuitive. Grading of evidence puts the focus of evidence appraisal on outcomes. Select outcomes first at most seven outcomes and use this tool to appraise articles and bodies of evidence. In this article, we shall use two articles -- one a primary study, and another, a Cochrane Review to critically appraise a body of evidence focused on health outcomes. We will then demonstrate that it is possible not only to appraise one outcome and an individual study but also bodies of studies such as that based on a Cochrane Meta analysis. Taking an example of grommet insertion for children with otitis media with effusion, we show the advantage of using a tool for setting up meta analysis and conducting web based analysis of literature data.

At the end of it all, this podcast provides hope that recovery is possible—and worth it. We hope you find are inspired by these realife stories. Enjoy!
Ellie is a joyful gal who loves to spend time traveling, doing yoga, painting, and meeting new people. She spends her days working with patients, alumni and families of Eating Recovery Center and Insight Behavioral Health. In addition, she is a Licensed Professional Counselor and an Adjunct Professor. Ellie is curious about the world and people's stories, and is excited to bring them to you through this podcast!
Press "Play" below to hear our trailer:
Meet Nicole and get to know her through some snapshots! Her story is featured on the first Mental Note podcast episode and she's sure to inspire hope for anyone's life journey.
Kelli's life seemed perfect from the outside : mother of two, active in church, a successful career, and loving husband. However, her story is a little more complicated than that. Listen below to hear more.
Life for someone like Eric Dorsa can look pretty fabulous. He's one of San Antonio's hottest drag queens, his TED talk has been viewed over 240,000 times, and he has a host of people who love and support him daily.
Yet, getting to this place proved far from easy. Along the way he had to grapple with a life threatening eating disorder, drug and alcohol abuse, and an underlying self hatred that continually thwarted the life he longed to live.
How often do you associate binge eating with trekking to the top of the highest peak in Africa? We thought so... Join us as we talk with Kara Richardson Whitely, author of the book Gorge, about her lifelong journey towards recovery from Binge Eating Disorder and it's ramifications in her life. She'll take us from the roots of her disorder, all the way up to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro as we dig into this highly misunderstood disease. www.kararichardsonwhitely.com
Robyn Cruze lived an adventurous life to say the least--an actor from an early age, she's chased big dreams, failed in even bigger ways, and not only survived but has discovered a fullness of life she never thought possible. Her journey teaches us about the comorbidity between substance use and eating disorders, how coping mechanisms and life passions provide alternatives to destructive behavior, and that there's no "perfect time" for recovery--the sooner, the better.
The holidays are not always Hallmark-card-perfect. Sometimes they are just as much a reminder of who we have lost in our lives as those we are grateful to have. Join us as we talk with Laura and her Mom, Mary Ellen, about how to honor loss and make space for hope in our holiday celebrations.
Ana Agarrat fills up the room. She's bubbly & gregarious—the type of person that, upon meeting her, you assume she's one of those people who has it all together. Yet, perceptions are misleading. Discover the upending world of Bipolar and learn how Ana has found a new sense of equilibrium and purpose in her life through a strong support system, letting go of perfection, and cultivating valuable skills to navigate uncertainty.
Professional athletes gain or lose potentially millions of dollars based on the way their body looks and performs. But what happens when the pursuit of perfection shipwrecks your life? Patrick Devenny walks us through how he suddenly found himself — a six foot, three inch, muscled, and fine tuned athlete — facing a diagnosis of bulimia… and how he was able to find a way out. Along the way we talk with Rebecca McConville, a registered dietician, board certified sports specialist, eating disorder clinician and cohost of the podcast Phit for a Queen.
We all see the dramatic photos of celebrities looking toned and thin immediately following the birth of their child... Is that really what we should strive for?
Join us as we talk frankly with Lauren Hill about her experiences with body image and pregnancy. We'll discuss what's most important for our bodies and our family during and after birth, how partners, friends, and family can support us best, and how to navigate this unique time with love.
We also get the perspective of Kate Daigle, a Licensed Professional Counselor who is currently writing a book on fertility and eating disorders.
On today's episode, we are sitting down with Shannon Kopp. She made it through a family divided by alcoholism, personal struggles with bulimia, and into a future where she is thriving – all with the help of some friends who barely understood a word she said, yet generously gave the love they had with wet noses and furry kisses.
Check out our website for a free values sort! mentalnotepodcast.com
Also, Shannon has written about her journey and her book is phenomenal. You can pick it up on her website: shannonkopp.com.
On this special episode, we listen to you in celebration of Eating Recovery Day on May 1st! The responses we got from your gratitude letters were simply too good not to share and we wanted to present them back to you, allowing their power to speak for themselves. You are truly incredible and we love being part of the recovery community.
Also, if you would still like to join in the #myrecoveryletter project, simply go to myrecoveryletter.com and follow the prompts.
We often deal with firsthand stories on this podcast and what happens when a person finally decides to tackle that seemingly unsurmountable journey towards health. But what about the people who walk alongside that person in struggle. Where's their story?
Well, on today's episode, we're taking the opportunity to celebrate Father's Day by talking with a pretty amazing dad. David Bachman is the father of two boys, one of which began battling Anorexia Nervosa at age 12.
His story illuminates the role a father can play in recovery, the importance of self, marriage, and family care, & how discovering a "new normal" is critical for long-term success.
There once was a 14-year-old girl named McCall who didn't know how to fit into her own body. Her resulting sadness launched a 15-year long journey through the pitfalls of dieting pills, along the cliff edge of weight loss at any cost, down the narrow path of making a choice to recover, and into the breakthrough of discovering an antidote to shame.
Along the way, we'll chat with Dr. Ovidio Bermudez about the dangers of diet pills, Adderall, and laxatives.
Sunnie never knew she had OCD.
Rather, this mom of six simply soldiered on – doing her best to ignore the disturbing voices in her head. That is until a diagnosis finally opened her eyes to a whole new world where she could be free from her mental prison.
Join us as we journey with her through the process of dividing her own identity from that of the disorder. Along the way, we'll discover just how good life can be.
Binge Eating Disorder is grossly underdiagnosed and can leave dramatical devastation in its wake. So how do you find your way in a culture that makes it so difficult for us to rise above diets, shame-based choices, and self-hatred?
We sit down with Andy McLoughlin and talk about his lifelong journey to shed the darkness of his disorder and embrace a fulfilling life.
What happens when your child is diagnosed with an eating disorder? Where do you go for help? How does it affect your community?
When Beth Ayn's daughter received a diagnosis of anorexia, she set out on a journey that led her to unexpected places. Eventually, she took those lessons and turned them into Stay Strong Virginia - a non-profit that helps other parents in similar circumstances.

Historical Reports Gives VB List Box Error on Detailed Call Reports
From DocWiki
Historical Report Gives VB List Box Error on Detailed Call Reports
|Problem Summary
| On selecting Detailed Call CSQ Agent Report on a system that has more than 32765 distinct calling or
called numbers in the database, Historical Report gives VB List Box Error
|Error Message
| The number of filter parameter values exceeded maximum entries (32765) that VB listbox can hold.
Only the first 32765 filter parameter values will be available for selection.
|Possible Cause
| This is a limitation with VB.
The default value is 32765 as the maximum limit of the list box is 32765. If there are more than 32765 entries, the list box of the HRC shows only up to 32765 distinct values. The rest of the values are omitted.
|Recommended Action
| The workaround is to limit the query to pull less than 32765 entries into the VB Box.
You can customize the entries of the HRC list box 'Available' such as it shows "first 'n' entries/first 32765 entries/last 32765 entries/32765 entries between 'x' and 'y'". For this, you need to modify the xml file for the report.
On the PC where the Historical Reports client is installed, navigate to <Install Dir>\Cisco UCCX Historical Reports\ReportTemplates\<language>. Open ICD_Detailed_Call_CSQ_Agent_en_us.xml (Replace en_us with local language). Locate the line <SQL>SELECT distinct callednumber FROM db_cra.dbo.contactcalldetail</SQL> Change this line to read <SQL>SELECT distinct top 32000 callednumber FROM db_cra.dbo.contactcalldetail</SQL> Locate the line <SQL>SELECT distinct originatordn FROM db_cra.dbo.contactcalldetail</SQL> Change this line to read <SQL>SELECT distinct top 32000 originatordn FROM db_cra.dbo.contactcalldetail</SQL>
You can use 'between' keyword in the SQL query to get values between two entries.

After 14 months of working on my pink and green quilt, it is finished! Like all good quilts, it started off as a vague idea and a hope that this color combination, as seen through the fabrics I chose, would "work." And I must say, it did! Unfortunately I didn't take more photos of the finished product, but the recipient was on their way to my house at any moment!!!
"Wendy's Quilt" is the largest and most "complex" quilt I have done as yet. Its not really complex, just that all the squares are not the same, as I have done in the past. I used the slab technique from Sunday Morning Quilts, by Amanda Jean Nyberg and Cheryl Arkison. It kind of defeats the purpose when you have to buy fabric to make a scrap quilt, but needs must!
Without further ado.....
If you have Pintrest, most of the fabrics can be seen on my ideas board.
Wendy loved her quilt! It made her tear up! Success!
Now on to other work-in-progresses!

SAC scientists have discovered a new giant exoplanet orbiting a subgiant star so close that the planet ought to have been destroyed by tidal forces - but it isn't - at least not yet!
2016.06.07 |
Scientists working at the Stellar Astrophysics Centre have discovered a
new giant exoplanet, which orbits a subgiant star. Such stars have
evolved to become several times larger than the Sun. Around subgiant
stars, only a few short-period planets are known, and some scientists
have speculated this may be because planets get tidally destroyed as the
star evolves and grows larger. The new planet, named K2-39b, orbits
extremely close to its host star: it orbits at a distance of only 1.7
times the diameter of the star! By comparison, the Earth is more than
100 solar diameters away from the Sun. On the other hand, the subgiant
star hosting the planet is almost four times larger than the Sun.
The planet was discovered using the NASA K2 mission which detects
planetary transits, when planets move in front of their star relative to
a distant observed. Its mass was further measured using the Nordic
Optical Telescope in La Palma, the ESO 3.6m telescope in La Silla, and
the Magellan II telescope in Las Campanas Observatory. According to
Vincent Van Eylen, who led the study, the discovery is interesting
because it shows that such close-in planets can exist around evolved
subgiant stars. "Previously, we thought perhaps such planets would
quickly be destroyed due to tidal interactions once the host star
evolves. K2-39b has not been destroyed, or at least not yet, so either
the tidal destruction is not as efficient as we may have thought or
feared, or the planet may be destroyed in the next few thousand years.
But if that's the case, it would be an extreme coincidence that we found
it in the first place, and the effects of tidal decay should become
visible within the next few years."
Further studies of planets orbiting evolved stars will help understand
the fate of planets as their host stars grow older. The same will happen
to the solar system in a few billion years, when the Sun will evolve
into a giant star.
The discovery paper is accepted for publication in the Astrophysical
Journal, but the publication date is not yet known. A pre-print can be found HERE. For more information or
questions: email@example.com.
