Gain Control Of Your Control State
Some people think the
ViewState is the spawn of the
Not one to be afraid of being in bed with the devil, I feel a tad bit
less negative towards it, as it can be very useful.
Still, it has its share of disadvantages. It sure can get bloated. Not only that, but disabling ViewState can wreack havock with the functionality of many controls.
This is why ASP.NET 2.0 introduces the control state. The basic idea
is that there is some state that should be considered the data for the
control, while other state is necessary for the control to function.
For example, the contents of a GridView. The control doesn't absolutely
need this data persisted across postbacks to function properly. You
could choose to reload it from the database,
Cache, or
In contrast is the state of the selected node in a
TreeView. This is
state that is necessary for the control to function properly across
Unlike the
ViewState, the control state isn't implemented as a
property bag. You have to do a little bit of extra work to make use of
it. Namely, there are two methods you have to implement in your custom
LoadControlState– Restores the control state from a previous page request. ASP.NET calls this method passing in the control state as an object to this method.
SaveControlState– Saves any changes to control state since the last post back. You need to return the state of the control as the return value of this method. ASP.NET will store it.
Your custom control must also register the fact that it needs the
control state by calling
A Demonstration That Makes This All Clear As Mud
I've put together a simple control to demonstrate the control state. Now before I go any further, I must warn you not to copy and paste this implementation. This implementation is designed to clarify how the control state works. I will present another implementation that describes a safer approach, which you can feel free to copy and paste. You'll see what I mean.
public class ControlStateDemo : WebControl
public int ViewPostCount
get { return (int)(ViewState["ViewProp"] ?? 0); }
set { ViewState["ViewProp"] = value; }
public int ControlPostCount
get { return controlPostCount; }
set { controlPostCount = value; }
private int controlPostCount;
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
//Let the page know this control needs the control state.
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
writer.Write("
ViewState: " + this.ViewPostCount + "
");
writer.Write("
ControlState:" + this.ControlPostCount + "
");
protected override void LoadControlState(object savedState)
int state = (int)(savedState ?? 0);
this.controlPostCount = state;
protected override object SaveControlState()
return controlPostCount;
This control has two properties. One backed by the
ViewState and the
other backed by a private member variable. Notice that we register this
control with the Page in the
OnInit method.
In the
OnLoad method, we increment each property. For demonstration
purposes, we need these properties to change on each postback, and this
is as good a method as any.
In the
Render method, we simply output the values of the two
properties. So far so good, eh?
Now we get to the
LoadControlState method. This method is called by
ASP.NET early in the control lifecyle (after
OnInit but before
LoadViewState) in order to provide your control with the saved control
state from the previous request.
In this case, we can cast this value to an int and set the control's state (the value of controlPostCount) to this value.
SaveControlState method provides ASP.NET the data to store in the
control state as the return value. In this example, we return the value
controlPostCount. This is how we knew we could cast the value to an
int in
Now if I drop this control onto a page with a Button control, let's see what happens after a few postbacks.
As expected, both values increment, as they are persisted across postbacks. But what happens if we disable ViewState on the page and click the button a few more times.
As you can see, we retain the control state, while the
ViewState is
But What About Inherited Controls?
I am so glad you asked! In this example, I inherited from
but what if I inherited from
TreeControl, or some other control that
made use of the control state. My implementation of
SaveControlState pretty much obliterates the control state for the
base class.
The class I wrote here is intentionally simple to show you no real magic is going on. Let's demonstrate the proper way to save and load the control state by creating a class that inherits from this control.
public class SubControlStateDemo : ControlStateDemo
public int AnotherCount
get { return this.anotherCount; }
set { this.anotherCount = value; }
private int anotherCount;
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
writer.Write("
AnotherCount:" + this.AnotherCount + "
");
protected override object SaveControlState()
//grab the state for the base control.
object baseState = base.SaveControlState();
//create an array to hold the base control's state
//and this control's state.
object thisState = new object[] {baseState, this.anotherCount};
return thisState;
protected override void LoadControlState(object savedState)
object[] stateLastRequest = (object[]) savedState;
//Grab the state for the base class
//and give it to it.
object baseState = stateLastRequest[0];
//Now load this control's state.
this.anotherCount = (int) stateLastRequest[1];
In this control, we inherit from the
ControlStateDemo control I wrote
earlier and added a new property called
AnotherCount. The main thing
to focus on here is our new implementation of
SaveControlState and
LoadControlState. We now take great pains to make sure that the base
control gets the value it is expecting.
SaveControlState, the first thing we do is grab the control state
from the base control by calling
base.SaveControlState. As you recall,
this holds the value for the private member
Since we want to add our own private member,
anotherCount to the
control state, we create an array to store both values and then return
this array to the caller.
Within the
LoadControlState method, we know we're going to be passed
in an object array and that the first element of the array is the
control state for our base class. So in that method, we grab the first
element and pass it to the method call
base.LoadControlState, thus
giving the base class what it expects to receive for its control state.
We then grab the second element, which is our control state, and set
anotherCount to this value.
Let's look at a screenshot of the result in action. Looks like everything is humming along nicely.
I would recommend using this approach anytime you implement control state in a custom control because you never know when you might override the control state for a base class.

Come On Baby, Kindle My Fire
I wouldn't really describe myself as one on the forefront of technology. In fact, despite my general computer savvy and my love of things Library 2.0, I'm rather old-ladyish in my daily life. I lug my groceries in a wheeled cart, I prefer anything vintage over anything new, and I get visibly agitated when people don't dress up for the orchestra. I try to only buy hardcover books, and old copies if I can manage it, because I revel in my personal library looking a certain way, all dusty spines of muted colors with that old book smell that I wish some perfumerie would bottle for sale. So why do I have an increasingly rigid techno-boner over the Amazon Kindle?
The most alluring thing about this slim little vixen isn't the super long battery life, or the service plan free wireless access, or the unbelievable storage capability, or the undeniable environmental improvement over the newspaper (although they all make me foam a bit at the mouth, be sure) but the element that really gets me going is something I've longed for since the advent of the e-book (and maybe even the computer): a screen that looks just like paper! I've been waiting for this innovation like some Christian fundamentalists wait for the rapture. I mean, I love my stylish chunky frames as much as the next 20something would-be librarian, but I certainly wouldn't need them if the blare of the computer screen didn't tax my blue irises so. The idea that I can download an entire book anywhere in under a minute and read it pain free and not lug 3 or 4 books in my bag at once? Goddamn if that's not a marvel of technology.
I'm cowed by the idea, though, that I've had these stirrings before. I was initially wooed by the siren song of the iPhone when it was announced at MacWorld, and would get in very nerdly conversations in bars about how amazing it was going to be. I now have a few friends who have one, and although there is a palpable ain't-it-cool factor still, some of the missing elements (and how slow the download time can be) resigns me to wait until a second generation, a resignation my wallet heartily thanks me for. So I guess this is a call to my early adopter friends out there, when you see the Kindle, kiss it once for me. Tell me if it has all the zazz that it does in my mind. If so I'll squirrel away for a while and maybe around this time next year I'll know for myself.

Welcome to CHeriScape!
CHeriScape is a landscape-focused network created by a project funded initially over three years (2014-2016) as a pilot call of the European Joint Programming Initiative on 'Cultural Heritage – A Challenge for Europe. Our aim was to examine more closely how landscape and heritage are mutually supportive concepts which in combination offer a way to release the social and economic benefits of both.
Over our original three-year lifetime, we organised five international and interdisciplinary conferences on the theme of 'landscape as heritage', each hosted in one of our partner countries – Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Britain – and drawing in people from many disciplines and many countries. We also organised similar sessions at other conferences to hear from an even wider community.
Each of our five conferences had its distinctive special focus and flavour, but they all revolved around the single overall theme of how to integrate the ideas of landscape and heritage'. They all included presentations from many invited speakers and from researchers responding to open calls for poster presentations, but at their heart was discussion between researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders.
At the end of the JPI-financed project in November 2016 we organised a small colloquium to discuss our emerging conclusions with a selection of participants at our conferences; at a separate meeting, we also began to discuss our emerging conclusions with policy makers at EU level. Enriched by these meetings, you can find our key messages here. The CHeriScape network will live on by organising sessions at various conferences and through other means.

Now that there is some communication between the two prelates, I hope it will serve to bring some good and some common understanding from the recent unfortunate events around the Cardinal's visit.

The IMTTA program has been designed to provide a fully supported career path for people who wish to follow their passion for healing and develop
their own holistic wellbeing practice.
The training courses provide intensive, very practical, knowledge and encourage the development of each student's previous professional and life experience, along with their innate abilities as natural healers.
Self-empowerment is the keystone at the IMTTA. We believe that real healing and personal growth can only occur when people are provided with the knowledge, tools and encouragement they need to heal themselves.
Therefore, all of the modalities we offer are self-empowering therapies where practitioners teach their students and clients how to make the changes required for better health and more happiness, for themselves.
These modalities include Meditation, which now has strong scientific evidence to support the enormous healing potential of regular practice.
We also teach:
Chair Yoga
Self-Applied Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy
Holistic Counselling (and life coaching)
Brain Body Medicine
Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy
Autonomic Nervous System Realignment Therapy.
All powerful therapies that once learned, can be applied by every person, on and for themselves regardless of age, sex, cultural or socioeconomic background, religious or spiritual path, lifestyle or present state of health; whenever needed, wherever they are and without cost or the need for another person to facilitate their healing.
Truly self-empowering modalities where we, as holistic practitioners, are in fact teachers, providing skills and tools that our clients can take forward in life to use for themselves to improve every aspect of their lives.
Some IMTTA graduates choose to seek employment with a variety of organizations from holistic healthcare centres to recreation facilities and work as Chair Yoga Instructors, Meditation Teachers, Stress Management Consultants and Holistic Counsellors. Some have secured employment in mainstream doctors clinics and as regular facilitators in schools.
The vast majority choose to set up and run their own Holistic Wellbeing Practices and these practices are as diverse as the individuals who own them.
Some choose to open Meditation Schools and run a variety of Meditation classes that appeal to a broad cross section of the community. They may incorporate Holistic Counselling sessions and Corporate Stress Management workshops. They may also run specialized classes for particular groups (like prenatal couples or children's Meditation classes.)
Some practitioners have a particular area of interest, like working with:
Young people
Women in transition
People suffering from panic and depression
People managing chronic pain or seeking to heal from illness and disease
People with weight issues
People seeking to overcome trauma or abuse
The possibilities are endless and every IMTTA Practitioner is encouraged to develop the holistic practice they feel drawn to and passionate about.
The IMTTA Practitioner registration (which is included free for all IMTTA course graduates for the first year) is a valuable tool, which provides graduates with a great deal of support and guidance in setting up and managing their own holistic wellbeing practice.
Our Practitioner Manager is available via email and telephone to provide information and encouragement whenever our practitioners need it.
This could be brainstorming ways to attract more students and clients to their practice and increase their income. It could be discussing strategies for supporting the practitioners own students or clients or it could be debriefing after a particularly difficult class or holistic counselling session.
We know our practitioners. We listen to what they need and we love to share their enthusiasm and their success with them.
We connect with them daily through our exclusive IMTTA Practitioners social media group and send them monthly newsletters.
We organize group marketing activities like advertising campaigns to make promoting themselves on a bigger scale much more affordable. We even provide them with all the templates for the materials they need to run their businesses from marketing materials through to student handouts,
disclaimer forms and booking forms, class plans and guide booklets.
So, while our Practitioners are working for themselves, with all the benefits of self-employment, free to choose the career paths and lifestyles they want, they are never alone.
Once a year we hold the IMTTA Gathering over four days as a residential retreat on Queensland's beautiful Sunshine Coast, in Australia and welcome practitioners from all over the world to participate in an inspiring and informative collection of professional and personal development workshops and postgraduate training courses. Attendance is not compulsory. In 2018 we are holding a special Practitioner Gathering over 10 days, in India!
The IMTTA study courses are designed to provide a very practical training experience and you can read what some of our past students have to say about their experiences HERE.
The material you will study through the IMTTA training courses will assist you to create a useful portfolio of resources and tools you can use to set up and run your own Holistic Wellbeing Business, without having to reinvent the wheel and with globally recognized accreditation.
As you can see, the IMTTA offers much more than a selection of well recognized training courses.
We offer you a career path to assist you in making your vision a reality and we help you to create the career and lifestyle you want for yourself, every step of the way, regardless of which IMTTA registered training organization you choose to study with, on-line or on-campus, anywhere in the world.
Helping you realize your passion, truly is our passion.

North Carolina-style barbecue turkey from the Food Network Kitchen is a recipe for making a barbecued turkey. The recipe provides for the preparation of a brine marinade, a vinegar-based barbecue sauce, and the turkey preparation and grilling procedure.
Prepare the brine in a large stock pot with 6 quarts of water, 1 1/2 cups of salt, 3/4 cup of light brown sugar, 1 1/4 cups of fresh sliced ginger and 1/4 cup of coriander seeds. Stir in 2 bay leaves, and bring the stock to a boil. Reduce the heat, and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes. Fill a bucket large enough to hold the turkey with ice. Pour the hot brine into the bucket, and when it has cooled, lower in the turkey. Place something on top of the turkey heavy enough to hold it under the surface of the brine, and refrigerate for at least eight hours.
Dissolve 3/4 cup of granulated sugar into 3 cups of cider vinegar on medium heat to make the sauce. Remove from the heat, and blend in 1/3 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of Kosher salt, 2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper and 1 1/2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the sauce for a table condiment.
Prepare a medium-high fire, cover it with your choice of soaked wood chips, and bring it to a stable medium-low temperature that is maintained throughout the turkey grilling. Stuff the turkey cavity with desired vegetables or stuffing, and tie the legs together securely. Rotate the turkey every 45 minutes, and begin basting it with the sauce after about an hour. Grill until the turkey has an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

He is a man who considers sees individuals as soldiers who are completely engaged in securing financially freedom and looks forward to arming them with his Wealth of Ethics. Lee works with the motive of making all these people wealthy and calls them Rich Soldiers. He has even written an informative book titled Rich Soldier. This book possesses a straightforward and unapologetic approach towards securing financial wealth. This book applies for every individual whether military or civilian.
What is Escobar's Wealth of Ethics?
Genuinely speaking, Lee Escobar is a multi-millionaire industrialist; a business owner possessing the ability of teaching people the methods of gaining financial freedom and a successful real estate investor. Lee possesses his unique set of foundational and wealth-building principles called The Wealth of Ethics. He teaches his Wealth of Ethics to people throughout the world. Truthfully or in reality, Lee travels throughout the US serving in the form of a trainer in the field of making investments in real estate.
Lee Escobar's Considerations for Investment in Real Estate
There are a lot of people throughout the world who are of the view that making real estate investments is one of the most lucrative methods of creating innumerable streams of income through various sources. Nevertheless, this entire thing can successfully be handled by an individual who remains careful about the investments that he or she is making in the real estate industry and the one who possesses good patience. There are certain basic ideologies laid down by Escobar in the form of significant considerations that need to be kept in mind in trying to get the real and basic understanding of real estate investment. Escobar's considerations in the field of making investments in real estate are mainly tricks and tips that can help individuals in coming up with successful real estate investment business. The considerations are aimed towards helping people achieve their goals easily. Lee's tricks and tips on investments in real estate are as follows:
Investment in Real estate is one of the Most Important Segments of a Financial Plan
If you are looking forward to making successful investments in the field of real estate then there are certain things that you might actually need. These things include budgeting, tax tips and advice, spending and people management. The investment that you make in the real estate field can really turn out to be rewarding if you are well-prepared with your financial plan. However, make sure that your investment suits your business strategies and your long-term and short-term goals.
Avoid Spending Money without Carrying Out a Proper Research
Beginners who are looking forward to making good investments in the real estate market should make it a point to have an intimate knowledge and understanding of the places where they want to invest. Factors like commercial traffic, security and rental rates will generally help in making an investment successful. Therefore, it is necessary for investors to take some time out for learning and understanding the entire market environment. Carrying out a through research on the entire subject will help them in ensuring rent stability and property quality being considered in the real estate market.
Take Care when taking Entry into the Pre-Foreclosure and the Foreclosure Markets
Individuals should not be led with the misunderstanding that it is quite easy to make considerable investments in foreclosure markets especially in losing economy or tough markets. Sufficient time, patience and dedication are needed for having a clear understanding of the advantages and the disadvantages along with proper information on making successful foreclosure investments. People should be well-aware of the fact that it is not a very simple thing to invest in the pre-foreclosure and the foreclosure markets especially for the ones who have a very weak heart.
Home Ownership is Not a Real Estate Investment
Interested real estate investors should be very clear with the definition or the explanation of investment. Real estate investment is hard money put into a property that is sellable without any kind of hesitation. Individuals should be clear about the fact that a primary home investment is not real estate investment.

The darkness and the light to Thee are both alike.
Far away to the west, on the borders of the Sea, there lived a lady and gentleman in a beautiful old house built something like a castle. They had several children, nice little boys and girls, who were far fonder of their Sea Castle, as they called it, than of a very pleasant house which they had in a great town at some distance off. Still they used to go and be very merry in the Town House in the winter time when the hail and snow fell, and the winds blew so cold that nobody could bear to walk out by the wild sea shore.
But in summer weather the case was quite altered. Indeed, as soon as ever the sun began to get a little power, and to warm the panes of glass in the nursery windows of the Town House, there was a hue and cry among all the children to be off to their Sea Castle home, and many a time had Papa and Mamma to send them angrily out of the room, because they would do nothing but beg to "set off directly." They were always "sure that the weather was getting quite hot," and "it must be summer, for they heard the sparrows chirping every morning the first thing," and they "thought they had seen a swallow," and "the windows got so warm with the sunshine, Nurse declared they were enough to burn one's fingers:" and so the poor little things teazed themselves and everybody else, every year, in their hurry to get back to their western home. But I dare say you have heard the old proverb, "One swallow does not make a summer;" and so it was proved very often to our friends. For the Spring season is so changeable, there are often some soft mild days, and then a cruel frost comes again, and perhaps snow as well; and people who have boasted about fine weather and put off their winter clothes, look very foolish.
Still Time passes on; and when May was half over, the Town House used to echo with shouts of noisy delight, and boxes were banged down in the passages, and there was a great calling out for cords, and much scolding about broken keys and padlocks, and the poor Carpenter who came to mend the trunks and find new keys to old locks, was at his wits' end and his patience' end too.
But at last the time came when all this bustle was succeeded by silence in the Town House, for carriages had rolled away with the happy party, and nobody was left behind but two or three women servants to clean out the deserted rooms.
And now then, my little readers, who are, I hope, wondering what is coming next, you must fancy to yourselves the old Sea Castle Home. It had two large turrets; and winding staircases led from the passages and kitchens underneath the sitting rooms, up to the top of the turrets, and so out upon the leads of the house, from which there was the most beautiful view of the Ocean you ever saw; and, as the top of the house was battlemented,

A few weeks ago, we told you that Miami Marlins mascot Billy the Marlinwould return with a new color scheme
, and lamented, "Hopefully we don't have to worry about an 8-foot tall orange sports fish walking around the stadium."
Well, the new Billy is finally here, and its not quite as bad, and yet not much better.
Yes, Billy now sports a multi-colored fin. Come on, Riptide is all for homopunk fashion, but what looks like a rainbow Mohawk is a step too far.

And those pants? They look like something Gwen Stefani might wear during pregnancy (except she'd actually pull them off).
And, take it form someone who never wore school colors to Hurricane games during his fat phase,
people fish with large waists should be careful with wearing orange tops or risk looking like a pumpkin.
It's almost hard to believe that the Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria made his money in art dealing. How is it possible that man whose made millions in art has absolutely no aesthetic taste?

My Experience
I'm a full-time professional and photography is neither a side job nor hobby for me – it's who I am. After graduating with honors from CU in English Literature, I studied at the Brooks Institute of Photography- Santa Barbara, CA from 2000-2003. I founded Frances Photography in 2003 and have never looked back.
While the Brooks Institute permanently imprinted the technique of photography on my brain, it's been the 15 years and thousands of shoots that have been my greatest instructor and truly taught me how to be a professional. Experience has taught me how to deal with blizzards on the wedding days, nightmare lighting situations, feuding families, and the like. Regardless of the unforeseen situation, I've got your back. Your wedding and most important life moments are safe with me.
Choosing to follow my dreams and A LOT of hard work and dedication has paid off. I've had the extreme honor of working with thousands of clients including celebrities such as Joe Rogan, "Princess of the Pipe" Jess Cumming, Chris "Birdman" Anderson, Jake Plummer, Lacrosse legend Paul Rabil and others.
My work has been published in Professional Photographer Magazine, inside and on the cover of Reign, Aisle Style, Luxe Mountain Weddings, Denver Life, as well as in multiple issues of the Knot, Brides CO, the Special Event, and Confetti Magazines. I was acknowledged for my fine art photography and charity work in the "Good Works" section of Professional Photographer Magazine in the August 2008 issue. Wedding blogs such as Borrowed and Blue, Carats and Cake, CoutureColorado and many more are continually sharing the weddings to the point that I have truly lost count.
While such accolades bring a momentary spring to my step, the recognition is less important to me than making sure each and every client I work with is over the moon with their images. I'm also incredibly proud of the work I've done with the Women's Bean Project and a never forgotten day and evening I spent photographing my friend Kim – PLEASE ask me about this heart wrenching experience, but be prepared to cry.
Please feel free to read through some of the independent reviews I have received - REVIEWS.

(I.e how you doing further down the line) I'd imagine it's different for different types of business but I just wanted to get an idea, I'm slightly held back as I am still finishing my degree so have to keep it to a managable level until I have finished.

In honor of tomorrow's Summer solstice, I bring you the Solstice cocktail. Creator John Deragon serves this drink in December for the Winter solstice, which makes sense for a booze forward whiskey cocktail. For those like me that drink brown liquor cocktails year round, however, this drink works just as well once the sun goes down on a 100 degree day in Atlanta. For a spirit forward drink, it is complex but also surprisingly balanced and drinkable.
The recipe calls for Dubonnet Rouge, but any rose colored apéritif wine, such as Lillet Rouge or Cocchi Americano Rosa, will work well. In my opinion, there is no suitable substitute for the Amaro Nonino. As with any cocktail using grenadine, use a good quality grenadine or make your own to bring out the best in the rye and apple brandy.
Adapted from recipe by John Deragon in PDT Cocktail Book
- 1.5 oz. Rittenhouse Bonded Rye
- .5 oz. Laird's Bonded Apple Brandy
- .5 oz. Amaro Nonino
- .5 oz. Dubonnet Rouge (or Cocchi Americano Rosa)
- .25 oz. Grenadine
Combine ingredients in mixing glass with ice. Stir and strain into chilled cocktail glass. No garnish.

London: Keen to attract students from India, China and other countries, a leading Italian university has decided to teach its courses exclusively in the English language, signifying a major shift in Italy`s higher education sector.
Amidst increasing global competition in the higher education sector, top officials of the Politecnico di Milano, established in 1863, believe that if it retains Italian as its language of instruction, it risked isolation and will not be able to compete as an international institution.
As the university`s move reinforcing English as an international language sent ripples across other Italian universities, the higher education minister, Francesco Profumo, told La Stampa newspaper that he hoped other leading institutions in the country would follow suit.
Switching to English by the Milan-based university has been described as a `cultural earthquake`, attracting much criticism within the country.
The university has announced that from 2014, most of its degree courses will be taught and assessed entirely in English.
Making English the language of instruction will enable the university to attract students from India, China and other countries, as well as "contribute to the growth of the country", the rector, Giovanni Azzone, told the BBC.
Azzone acknowledged that the Italian language was an entry barrier for overseas students, particularly when recruiting from places such as China and India.
The move is likely to attract some UK students due to the steep increase in university fees in the country and the comparatively lower fees levied in Italian universities.
Azzone said: "We strongly believe our classes should be international classes - and the only way to have international classes is to use the English language".
He added: "It`s very important for our students not only to have very good technical skills, but also to work in an international environment."
The Italian university switching to English reflects the trend in several non-English speaking countries to adopt the language as the medium of instruction, particularly some universities in China and South Korea.
English has been the medium of instruction in most Indian universities since independence in 1947.
Thousands of Indian students enrol in courses in universities in the US, UK and elsewhere every year, reflecting increasingly globalised nature of higher education.

PORTLAND — Think of the 2010 Red Sox draft, and top picks Kolbrin Vitek, Bryce Brentz and Anthony Ranaudo come to mind.
Boston's fourth choice was a tall, fastball-throwing pitcher from the University of Texas.
Brandon Workman has not received a lot of attention. But that could change.
Workman made his Double-A debut Tuesday night with the Portland Sea Dogs and threw six near-perfect innings in a 13-2 romp over the Altoona Curve before 6,403 at Hadlock Field.
The Sea Dogs (56-65) brought their offense. Marquez Smith, Ronald Bermudez and Xander Bogaerts all homered. Travis Shaw and Christian Bermudez each had two doubles.
Workman, who turned 24 on Monday, retired the first 12 batters he faced. After allowing two ground singles to the outfield, he retired the last six he faced.
"That's a pretty good arm," Sea Dogs Manager Kevin Boles said. "Quality fastball. Maintained a consistent tempo and utilized his mix. Pretty impressive debut.
"He's very aggressive toward the (strike) zone. There's no fear in that department."
Besides no walks, Workman didn't even reach a three-ball count all night. Of the 20 batters he faced, only seven got to a two-ball count.
"He commanded his fastball," said catcher Christian Vazquez, who also caught Workman in Salem. "He trusted his stuff."
The fastball began between 95 and 96 mph and settled in at 92 most of the night.
He also threw a curve, cut fastball and change-up.
Workman, 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, pitched all last season at Class A Greenville (3.71 ERA). This year, with advanced Class A Salem, he carried a 3.40 ERA in 20 games (107 strikeouts/20 walks).
For Portland, the ERA sits at 0.00.
"I try to throw a lot of strikes and stay ahead of hitters," Workman said. "I kind of had it all working tonight."
Ryan Pressly relieved and allowed two runs in the seventh on two doubles and a sacrifice fly. He also struck out three, as did the final reliever, Chris Martin.
Altoona's Tyler Waldron (1-1) was making only his second Double-A start. He didn't last long, leaving with one out in the second inning, and the Sea Dogs already ahead 5-0.
NOTES: Tonight's game features a duel between past and present Red Sox left-handed prospects. Drake Britton (3-5, 4.02 ERA) goes for Portland, and former Sea Dogs lefty Kris Johnson (1-1, 2.84) starts for Altoona. Johnson, 27, a first-round draft pick, pitched in Portland in 2008-09. He was released last year and was signed by Pittsburgh. Johnson has both started and relieved in Double-A and Triple-A this year. …
Another former Portland player returned in an Altoona uniform. Left fielder Oscar Tejeda was put on waivers June 24 and signed by the Pirates. He went 1 for 4 and is batting .261 in 36 games with the Curve.
Tonight is "NASCAR Night" at Hadlock, featuring cars and drivers from Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.

I teach compassionate and life-affirming ways for people to understand and embrace their true nature and to look with love at everyone in their lives, including that reflection in the mirror. With my background in psychology, professional psychic readings, and principles of balance and health, I am well known for providing clear, truthful, and practical information that can be put to immediate use in your life.
I offer powerful, life-affirming psychic readings delivered with honesty, integrity, and compassion. Welcome! My name is Lilly and I am a firm believer of truth, whatever one may deem that to be. Each person has their own truth and it is this truth, that guides their actions. I am here to uplift, inspire and clarify.
Between thinking and seeing, there is a place called knowing..
I am a natural born psychic empath with clairvoyant, clairsentient and clairaudient gifts. This means that Spirit communicates to me in words, images and feelings which I translate and share with you. I am a direct intuitive psychic and mediumistic channel. I encourage you to ask questions in return and experience an open channel of conversation.
I'm an authentic psychic empath, energy healer, and clairvoyant Lightworker who has been healing souls for over 35 years (16 online). I provide psychic readings and spiritual guidance by Phone, Chat, Email, and SMS Text.
Additionally, I'm a Holistic Healer with expertise in Feng Shui, Crystals & Reiki Healing. My services can be found and reviewed here on the site as well as on Keen and Etsy. I write and deliver free daily Inspirational Quotes and a free Spiritual Newsletter monthly, and can be found on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google +, Google+, & Google+ !
My readings aren't about proving anything, or climbing the ratings ladder, or being the "top" psychic. A reading is a divine interaction between souls in a search for truth. I ask that you please be prepared for the truth.
Telling you only what I suspect you want to hear (by doomsaying, sugar coating or offering false hope) destroys my ability to work effectively. I am very gentle with my clients, however, my readings are (sometimes painfully) honest. I will also, then, help you focus on the truth of the given circumstances and be your guiding light for positive change.
We have our own answers to life's essential questions within us. Listening, attuning, and honoring the inner voice will guide you to learn lessons on your life path. In addition, we all possess the personal power to make those answers, visions, dreams, inner wisdom, and goals become reality. Life is an informal school in which we will either learn our lessons, or resist them until we are ready to finally embrace them. We are all here to learn, to grow, and to help each other.
A consultation with me will provide you with an impartial search for truth, avoiding bias and observing the accepted ethics of my empowering readings. Most importantly, truthful answers to your questions.
I hold clear ethical responsibilities to engage in a sincere search for the truth and the safeguarding of the centrality and the dignity of the individual being read, with compassion, before, during and after a consultation.
A sensible, truthful psychic reader is expected to seek truth to avoid error sincerely. Please know that I am a diligent seeker of truth, providing pure truth for perfect faith sustained by the power of God ( Spirit, Goddess,ect.)
Cooperation in seeking truth is inherent to a consultation with me, but sincerity in the pursuit of truth can also be distinguished by certain conditions and signs displayed by a client. Please be sure you are truly seeking the truth before purchasing a reading with me.
What ensures a straightforward and enlightening reading is a resolute search for truth, not allowing one's own desires. It would be immaterial for you if you-- or another person --should be the one to find it.
Likewise, a sincere truth-seeker would perceive his reader as a helper rather than an adversary, and would be grateful to her/him if he should guide him to truth.
Together we will find positive steps toward finding the truth, not problems to be squelched. Remember ... a real test of whether you are committed to learning the truth comes when your most basic beliefs are questioned in your quest for answers to life's ultimate questions.
My consultations are for all those who want to take responsibility for their lives, who search for validation of their spiritual existence and who earnestly seek truth, wisdom and freedom. Your physical reality is an opportunity for spiritual growth, which I consider our purpose in life.
My goal is to enlighten, and empower you through awareness, understanding and education. In partnership with Divine guidance, I strive to be the pathway that spans the gap between Belief and Knowing. My mission is to be a celebration of healing for body, mind and Spirit. My purpose, is putting you in touch with yours.

text: Many times i see that internet marketing are just writing reviews and trying to outwit each other to get the same customer. All they do is spoil things since most of them just talk good about the product. None of them will even point out to the slightest of the mistakes which really spoils things for them and others. Even a buyer will become suspicious after reading a review that just talks about the good side of the product. Why can't we just promote the product through other channels ? At this moment, i really don't want to be wasting too much time competing with several marketers writing spammy review pages. Should i just switch over to some other methods like writing for e-zinearticles ?

Next Satellite Will Feature Hallmark CMG and 8-Band Technologies, Allowing the Company to Extend Its Lead in Collection Capacity for Faster, Fresher Insights
LONGMONT, CO--(Marketwire - March 15, 2011) - DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global content provider of high-resolution earth imagery solutions, has contracted with Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services for the launch of WorldView-3.
Once launched, WorldView-3 will be the third WorldView-class satellite in DigitalGlobe's constellation. The satellite is scheduled for launch in 2014. It will feature the same innovative technologies that have helped DigitalGlobe amass the largest high definition satellite image library in the world, and speed up the daily process of collecting, analyzing and delivering imagery and information to customers.
"The need for up-to-date satellite imagery and the insights it provides to our government and commercial customers grows every day," said DigitalGlobe Chairman and CEO, Jill Smith. "We are significantly enhancing our commercial satellite constellation with WorldView-3, and are delighted to name Lockheed Martin and its United Launch Alliance subcontractor as our launch services partners. Their teams have consistently demonstrated the highest degree of reliability on many important space missions. We are confident that our own mission with them will be a success."
WorldView-3 will be launched on a Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services-provided Atlas V rocket into a sun-synchronous orbit from Vandenberg AFB, California, and will be operational approximately 90 days after launch. With WorldView-3 in orbit, the DigitalGlobe constellation will be capable of collecting more than 1 billion square kilometers per year.
WorldView-3 will be the third DigitalGlobe satellite to feature Control Moment Gyros (CMG), which makes DigitalGlobe's satellites more agile so that they can collect imagery of larger areas faster and with greater flexibility. It will also be the second satellite to feature 8-band multi-spectral technology, which allows DigitalGlobe to collect more data from images; automatically extract more information from them; and deliver deeper insight to customers. Both technologies are currently available exclusively within the DigitalGlobe constellation.
DigitalGlobe continues to expect that its total capital spending program associated with EnhancedView, including the launch of WorldView-3 and expanded ground infrastructure, will be approximately $650 million between 2010 and 2014.

The Lady in the bag has Advice
Scribe: Lady In The bag
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I am proud (suffering from a bit of hubris), that I have been asked to write for The Thinkering.com. This is my first foray into this endeavor. I promise to be honest, forthcoming and provide you with the information that I believe is essential for living our lives to the fullest.
You don't need to agree with my opinions, ideas and/or positions: but I do want you to read, enjoy and consider transformation from the hypogeal realm (into which many of us have fallen) and become enlightened, by acceptance of the ThinkersCosmicForge.
Personal Relationship Advice: how to make it REALLY work!
Three simple rules: close friends, companions, lovers, spouses and/or family members must agree to always abide by these 3 rules (AKA LAWS).
Narrow the argument (issue, dispute) to one problem: DO NOT bring up what happened yesterday, last week or what OTHER people think or say(or said);
You must kiss the other person before heading off to bed (sleep) or isolating yourself (wherever you wish to escape) (You can kiss the person on the top of their head or even on a dangling length of hair.); and
You must say "I love you", before you go to bed (This is also recommended for telephone conversations.).
AH HA! This simple process works. In fact, practically speaking, by the time that the dispute is narrowed, and you walk away from each other, you should be smiling because you know that steps 2 and 3 are in place. The objective is to walk away with confidence that your relationship is secure. You simply disagree on an issue and need to resolve it: with COMPROMISE. Pick and choose your battles carefully and thoughtfully. Let go of the small stuff!

This is a very nice write up kudos great advice only if people would remember this when dealing with issues of relationships.. good stuff!

In todays 'big brother' era it is crucial teachers consider the ramifications their digital identity could have on the professional life. Increasingly, employers are using social media as tool to screen potential employees (Yeager, n.d.). The media often draws attention to teachers being penalised and in some cased fired for inappropriate use of social media (Simpson, 2010). The term 'digital tattoo' used by the University of British Columbia [UBC] and companion tagline 'think before you ink' are a perfect analogy and reminder of the permanency of online activity (The Digital Tattoo Project, 2013). Teachers are highly visible community members and as such, need to remember that their online activities are open to scrutiny (Yeager, n.d.). The internet is a public arena (UBC, n.d.).
Learning about new technologies and exploring the digital identities of teachers through their blogs, linked-in, and pinterest accounts has excited me to the positive potential and professional strength of a carefully executed digital identity. Initially I was concerned my eclectic assemblage of personal posts and information shared online is misaligned with my teacher identity. While I believe strongly in my right to express myself online in a personal manner I am aware of the necessity of having distinctly separate identities by maintaining a distance between your personal and professional persona and have resolved to clean up my online presence. My excitement lay in discovering the ways I can control how I portray myself online. Acting in the role of curator I can create the ideal teacher identity to be used to promote myself to parents and employees. For teachers an online identity can be a digital portfolio, place to store resources, and proof of professional engagement, critical reflection and continual development (Yeager, n.d.). It can serve as a window to a teacher's pedagogy and is a valuable tool to network and connect with fellow teachers (Owens, 2014).
Mindfulness for how online posts may be misinterpreted if the audience or context change, and an adept understanding of the mechanics of digital security are essential skills for teachers to function successfully in the 21st Century.

For the seventh consecutive year, the same credit card company topped the rankings for highest for customer satisfaction.
Each year, J.D. Power sets out to better understand consumer preferences, desires, and satisfaction levels across a host of industries. In its 2013 rankings for credit card satisfaction, it reported the industry continued to improve its ability to satisfy customers, logging a rating of 767 out of 1,000. After a major drop off from 2008 to 2009, things have steadily improved and total satisfaction is up more than 9% since then.
The interesting thing about credit cards is nearly every bank is offering them. Sure, there are companies like American Express (NYSE:AXP), Capital One (NYSE:COF) and Discover Financial Services (NYSE:DFS) that consumers immediately think of when they consider credit cards. But also know that Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) reported it issued 3.9 million credit cards in 2013, and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) noted that it went from having 33% of its customers with a banking account and a credit card in 2012 to 37% in 2013.
With credit cards becoming a more and more popular form of payment, in the presentation below, The Motley Fool takes a look at the 10 highest-ranked companies for customer satisfaction as measured by J.D. Power, which should help any customer as they make their decision about which credit card to get.

Dodge is launching new ads promoting its muscle car lineup, namely the 707-horsepower 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats. The rub is, as much as the spots may make you want one, you can't buy one anymore. They're all sold out and have been for months. But Dodge spared no expense showing them off anyway in an ad full of speeding SRTs and burnouts.
The new 'Predators' spots, which also feature the Dodge Viper GTS, are all about image branding. More specifically, the campaign wants to get the point across that these three cars are "modern beasts". There's even an alligator in one shot.
The commercials were filmed in Miami over three nights. It was quite a production, too. The automaker says the boat scene was captured from a helicopter, drones were used in production and, instead of the usual pursuit vehicle to shoot car to car, a camera was mounted to another Hellcat, as nothing else could keep up with the speed.
"The Challenger and Charger Hellcats and Dodge Viper are halo vehicles – they make bold statements about the attitude and personality of the full Dodge lineup," said Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer, FCA Global. "The high-energy driving and aggressively shot images in 'Predators,' matched with a haunting soundtrack, leave little doubt in anyone's mind that Dodge is America's mainstream performance brand."
Fiat Chrysler stopped taking orders for the 2015 Charger and Challenger back in March because production couldn't keep up with demand. One issue was that some dealers were taking orders couldn't be filled for months and months. In fact, Fiat Chrysler is still working to fill older orders. The automaker's increased production twice to churn out more 2015 models and learning from recent history, FCA will now plan more production out of the gate with the 2016 models.
The ads launch July 3rd and Dodge will reportedly announce details on the upcoming 2016 soon, as in the next few weeks.

The Western press usually gets all weak in the knees when it comes to Buddhism, but not since the Venerable Ashin Wirathu expressed some very unpopular opinions regarding the so-called Religion of Peace.to the
Everyone from The Guardian to The Australian to MSN.com to something called Medium.com (which calls for an end of "Western injustices against Muslims") to the once honorable Time magazine (who refers to the monk as "The face of Buddhist terror") are all shedding crocodile tears over Wirathu's condemnation of Islam in the Southeast nation Myanmar.
Formerly known as Burma, the Myanmar government finds itself knee-deep in a jihadist insurgency fomented by the nation's Rohingya Muslim minority.
Rarely reported are instances such as when a Rohinga imam Nazir Hossain preached to local jihadis preparing to launch a sneak attack on a police station, "As imam, I encouraged them never to step back from their mission. I told them that if they did not fight to the death, the military would come and kill their families, their women and their children."
But back to Ven. Wirathu – he upset the apple cart by publicly stating that;
Rohingya Muslims as "animals who eat with their asses."
"Do these animals [Rohinga Muslims] eat with their asses when they have meals?" Wirathu asked a large group of supporters. "For example, do they put their rice into their bottoms instead of their mouths? When they go to toilets, do they invert their asses and excrete from their mouths?"
He added that Rohinga Muslims are "beasts, who are opposite to all in everything, and are claiming they are natives of Myanmar." And in earlier sermons has warned Muslims "target innocent Burmese girls and rape them."

Emraan Hashmi claims that a housing society in the exclusive Pali Hill district of Mumbai blocked his house purchase because he is a Muslim. He has lodged a complaint with the Minorities Commission of Maharashtra. "I had finalised a deal to buy a flat in Pali Hill but the society refused to issue a No Objection Certificate because I am a Muslim," claims Emraan. Housing societies, who run local apartment blocks in Mumbai have a good deal of discretion over who they will accept within their block and rumours of discrimination are rife in both Hindu and Muslim dominated blocks.
Minister of State for Home Affairs, Asif Naseem Khan has asked the police to investigate. "I was really surprised to know that people are not given a house because of their religion," he said, "This is completely unlawful. I have already instructed the joint commissioner of police to look into the matter."
In a somewhat confused statement, Salman Khan said he disagreed that Emraan was denied an NOC because he was a Muslim. "If religious profiling indeed happened, Emraan Hashmi would not have been what he is today. Similarly, Salman, Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan would not be what they are today," he stated – and then called upon the housing society to issue the certificate: "I would appeal to the Nibbana Housing society in Bandra to provide the required NOC to Emraan."
The Housing Society has issued a statement saying that it has yet to issue an NOC because it has yet to make a decision.

November 2012 - Trans and Cis Men (Hathersage)
This was our first retreat that had a mix of both trans and cis people attending and was aimed towards gay/bi/queer men. We invited in a guest facilitator - Will Nutland to help run the retreat. We were unsure what the space would be like with a mix attending, but found it was just like any other retreat we'd run before. We set up this retreat as we'd been hearing from a number of trans men who wanted to meet cisgender guys but who worried about how to approach cisgender scenes, or who were nervous about how they would be received as trans men. Likewise, many cisgender QGB men wanted to know more about trans men but were worried that they would say something 'wrong' or not be welcomed in trans led spaces. The retreat gave us all the opportunity to start discussing some of the issues and to feel more comfortable around each other.

How To Troubleshoot A Guitar Amp
If there were one word to regard above all others when learning how to troubleshoot a guitar amp, it would have to be "carefully." A guitar amp is an intricate, electrical sound-emitting device composed of a head (which houses the power amp), controls and tubes (if the amp has them) and the speaker cabinet, which is composed of a housing for emitting audio from the speaker or speakers. Dings and rips in the outer casing do not necessarily mean the amp is not good. It is the sound, from the inside, that counts. There are two types of guitar amps: combo amps and separate head and combo amps; both of these work in the same way, because a combo guitar amp basically just includes the head and speaker cabinet in the same housing, and they cannot be separated. For the purposes of learning how to troubleshoot a guitar amp, the head portion and the speaker cabinet portion will be discussed separately so that the methods told can apply to either amp type.
- The first step requires diligently checking out the most basic part of the guitar amp: the electrical end. Inspect the cord to ensure it is in good shape and plugged into the amp properly. The amp should turn on within a minute, and should have a light or hum to indicate this; please note that tube amps require the tubes to be looked at, and any that are blackened need to be replaced. Tube guitar amps also need at least five to fifteen minutes of sitting in standby to warm up the tubes before playing a guitar through the amp, because the tubes only work when heated, and this prevents them from being strained.
- If the amp is electrically sound, the next step is to inspect the speaker or speakers. One of the most common points of damage to an amp is the speaker, as playing at full volume for a lengthy period often blows them out. A guitar amp should never be played at full volume! A blown-out or worn-out speaker will sound muffled, scratchy and be quiet in comparison to a clear, crisp and clean sounding loud speaker of any size. Check the cabinet itself to see if there are any discernable rips or tears in the speaker, and then inspect the tiny set of wires that go from the back of the speaker cone up to the head. There should be a solid connection between the wire and the back of the cone.
- With the vitals of the guitar amp administered to, the next step involves making sure the head of the guitar amp is fully functional. The head consists of all of the controls and the instrument inputs and outputs. Many guitar amps now contain some kind of chip to provide various sounds or sound qualities, and the first thing to check to see if the amp is working is the volume control knob. The volume should go up and down without any feedback, buzzing or scratchiness when plugged into your ax. Sometimes dust can negatively affect an amp and cause noises when turning the volume knob, and this needs to be repaired if this is the case. Next, check all of the other effects, like tremolo, or reverb, and play with the settings from full on turns of the knobs in either direction to see if each sound comes out cleanly and correctly. Lastly, be sure to plug into each input and output and try these all out; the output will hook a head or combo amp up to another speaker cabinet for more sound.

U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and her Democratic congressional colleagues are right: It's time for Congress to cease its witch hunt against Planned Parenthood, which provides vital health care services to our nation's low-income women and families.
Shaheen and her colleagues sent a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan and GOP leaders in the House and Senate, asking them to "end all ongoing Congressional investigations examining Planned Parenthood, and to stop political efforts to undermine women's access to healthcare."
Shaheen and her colleagues wrote the letter after a Texas grand jury cleared Planned Parenthood of any wrongdoing relative to a legal fetal tissue program and, instead, indicted two anti-abortion activists, charging them with committing crimes to create a now-discredited video that abortion opponents seized on, hoping it would damage the organization.
"On Monday, Jan. 25, 2016, a Texas grand jury exonerated Planned Parenthood and instead, indicted the creators of highly edited, deceptive videos designed to undermine our nation's largest provider of women's health care on felony charges of tampering with government records," Shaheen and her colleagues wrote. "In addition to the Texas grand jury, 12 other states have concluded independent investigations and cleared Planned Parenthood of wrongdoing."
In addition to Texas, Kansas, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, Washington, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri and South Dakota, have cleared Parent Parenthood in independent state investigations.
Eight additional states, including New Hampshire, have declined to waste taxpayer money and legislative energy on these frivolous investigations.
Politicians who have voted to jeopardize women's health care want the public to believe the services provided by Planned Parenthood, (the majority being cancer screenings, well-woman exams, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, access to birth control and reproductive health education), like to say that other agencies can step in and provide the services traditionally provided by Planned Parenthood.
As we have seen in New Hampshire, this is simply not true.
"For six months, New Hampshire women and families have been deprived of critical funding for basic medical care; care that was budgeted for by legislators but denied when the Executive Council voted 3-2 in August to end contracts for Planned Parenthood health centers in Manchester, Keene, Claremont, Derry and Exeter," wrote Democratic executive councilors Colin Van Ostern and Chris Pappas, on Jan. 29, to their three Republican colleagues.
Republican Executive Councilor Chris Sununu last week said he could provide a list of health care agencies capable of stepping in to provide services previously provided by Planned Parenthood but now, fully a week later, he still has not produced the name of a single provider.
The GOP leaders in Congress should follow the GOP leaders in New Hampshire, which voted last week not to investigate Planned Parenthood because there is simply no evidence of wrongdoing by the agency.
The overwhelming majority of health care services provided by Planned Parenthood have nothing to do with abortions. Except in cases of rape, incest or life of the mother, federal funds cannot be used for abortion services. Abortion is legal in this country and has been since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973.
It is time for Congress to make women's health a greater priority than political pandering.

From the introduction:
In this game you and a bunch of friends take on the roles of newly-dead souls, now finding themselves damned to an eternity burning in the fires of Hell, but given one chance to make things right. The Big Light Far Into The Darkness, the one you saw when you died, said that you could take one last gamble to save your soul. You are being sent back in time 24 hours, in spirit form, and it is up to you and your friends to find a way to stop your living selves from doing whatever it was that you did and that damned you all. You are going to have to 'wear' the bodies of the people you loved the most in order to interact with the world. Oh, and just when you thought you got a sweet deal, here is one more catch: you must make sure that your deaths still happen before the deadline, before those 24 hours run out; this much cannot be altered. Keep in mind that the stakes are high, if you mess this up real bad, you could be erased from history, just like you have never been born.

Although traditional search engine optimization doesn't hold quite the same weight as it used to, that doesn't mean it's not worthwhile to school yourself in a few of the tactics generally associated with SEO. After all, even in the era of semantic search, older techniques can still help you rank – and understanding them can give you a greater understanding of the semantic web, besides.
At any rate, search engine optimization is just like any other field – you're only as good as what you know. That's where we come in. Today, we're going to go over a few advanced, less-understood on-page techniques.
