Update has been hidden from all public facing feeds in Typepad
WILD ROVERS was the prototype Western for my childhood - my grandfather, a rancher in the Ben Johnson mold (they traded horses a few times on the rodeo circuit) took me to the very "last picture show" theater in a small town near Texarkana on a Saturday and we sat thru it twice. I must have been seven or eight years old. He told me it was "not as good as Red River" but that he had liked the scenes in the snow. I never forgot that day - and vowed to see this Red River someday. Later, (jump cut thru the public education system, please) Mr Edwards was the first director I saw in action on location - I had moved to Los Angeles and he was shooting Blind Date in Brentwood not far from my little guesthouse. My career in film was yet to begin, but my path had been set already, years ago in a little movie-house near the Red River, long since torn down. Jump cut again, past college and on to my return to Texas, only now I was in the capital city, trying to raise the ground floor of the indie film scene by volunteering for the Austin Film Society and hanging out with the late critic George Morris, who dearly loved Blake's films and had a VHS of Ford's SEVEN WOMEN he shared with us young turks. By this time I'd seen at least a dozen of Blake's films and knew enough to credit him for his writing on films like SOLDIER IN THE RAIN and OPERATION MAD BALL, which scored points with Morris. Edwards represented the last of a breed to me, the studio-bred director who could make a film like SUNSET that I knew I could see with someone like my grandfather, and we'd all enjoy it. Blake Edwards touched my life and brought a thousands laughs to a million people, but to me he will always be someone from Tulsa, Oklahoma (look it up) who made good in the movies, and directed a picture I got to share with my cowboy hero.

Q: Multiple languages in an ASP.NET MVC 3 (Razor) application In my current project, on the main page I can switch language (FR|NL|UK).
All the texts are in ressources (.resx) files. The language code (FR, NL, UK) I need to use is in myMode.
How can I do to set all the  : @HTML.Label( ....)
Thanks,

A: When you change language you need to change the current UI culture. You also need to track the user language preferences somewhere (route, cookie, session, ...). Here's a nice guide that I would recommend you reading.

A: I agree with the previous answer, that you have to change the current UI culture. On drop down change, you can store the language in cookie. And then using this cookie you can set the current UI culture. Depending on the culture, the application will pick up text from resource files depending on language selection.

The Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival and Festival du Voyageur both take place in February every year.

The year 2000 was a fascinating one for me: I joined the Telecom world and moved to Rio de Janeiro. After almost five years, I moved back to São Paulo, and I have been a heavy user of the Metro since then. I always say that if you have the consultant DNA, you will find yourself often looking at people's behavior, trying to understand what drives them and how the use tools and technologies. So, I was always looking for trends on consumer behavior on ICT adoption.
Back in 2005, the subway in São Paulo did not have any wireless coverage, and almost no one used MP3 players nor mobile phones. Devices were expensive and did not address the needs of users when they had no coverage; a killer feature for a phone was FM radio (the majority of the population commute by bus). It was an amusing time, governmental officials went on the press explaining that the country would never need 3G, it would be only for very rich people. First lesson on technology – never say that people already have enough, you will be proven wrong. I was always the optimist, and the research that we did on ICT usage proved that there was a demand for wireless broadband in Brazil.
Price remains the main barrier, but reductions are seen year-over-year. Currently, less than 50% of the users say that they do not have Internet access at home because it is too expensive.
The second main reason is the lack of availability: 21% for urban people and 54% for rural residents.
Moving forward a few years, now we have a decent mobile coverage in the Metro, with 3G access. A few weeks ago, I decided to pay attention again to the usage of ICT and got impressed with the results. People were not only sending and receiving text messages, but also connecting to Facebook, Twitter and other social networks; smartphones, once the realm of the rich, were widely used. Actually, as I have a smartphone with Android 2.1, I felt like an old user.
The adoption of smartphones by the lower income classes is increasing fast, proving that we were correct in our forecasts. Phones are subsidized and sold in many installments. Operators like TIM have launched aggressive mobile broadband plans, charging per day. All these factors have influenced the current usage patterns: according to TIC Brasil 2011, 19% of the urban users have used their mobile phones to access the Internet in the last 3 months.
The Brazilian behavior towards technology is clearly positive. This is based on a few behavioral surveys that I have seen: emerging countries have the highest positive attitude towards the acceptance of a new technology – to be discussed in a later post. The numbers that support this fact are impressive: in February 2012, we had over 47,2 million mobile broadband devices (data by Brazilian's Huawei Whitepaper of Broadband – Huawei and Teleco), and over 8 million 3G modems. That is more than 25% of the total population using it monthly. Year-over-year growth is a staggering 99.3%.
The World Cup and Olympic Games are driving a new push in technology in the country; 4G auctions have been completed, with existing operators buying the available spectrum. By 2014, we will have even faster connections, so the remaining question is: what will users do with the increased speeds and bandwidth?

It's fitting that on the day of the annual Academy Awards that this week's Sunday morning musical selection be taken from a movie, a scene from a film directed by the great Stanley Donen, who died yesterday at the age of 94.
Unless you're a big fan of films you might not know the name but you most likely know his work. It started back in 1949 with his direction of the musical On the Town with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra. He went on to direct some of the greatest musicals of the 1950's– Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Funny Face, The Pajama Game, Damn Yankees and Royal Wedding, the film that had Fred Astaire dancing on the walls and ceiling of a room. I note this because Donen directed Lionel Richie's Dancing on the Ceiling video 35 years later with many of the same effects.
In a long and interesting career, he also directed non-musical films that I have really enjoyed over the years, films like Indiscreet, The Grass is Greener, Charade, Arabesque and Two For the Road. He even directed one of my favorites, the 1967 cult classic Bedazzled with Dudley Moore as the hapless fool who strikes a deal ( and is constantly baffled by his end of the deal) with the devil played brilliantly by Peter Cook.
But more than any other film, Donen is known for his direction of Singin' in the Rain from 1952, often called the greatest movie musical of all time. It's a film I could watch time and time again, always finding something new to focus on- the fantastic dancing, memorable songs, fast paced comedy, and beautiful production with those saturated MGM colors that always excite my artistic senses. I am showing two clips from the film both from a fantasy segment, Broadway Melody, featuring Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse.
The first, Gotta Dance, has the up and coming Kelly running into and immediately falling for gangster's moll Cyd Charisse. I love this scene for the rough set design and color employed with the dark reds of the backdrop making Charisse's brilliant green dress shoot off the screen. That and the sensual dancing between her and Kelly. Just a great scene.
The second is the Broadway Melody Ballet. Kelly after earlier encountering Charisse has gone on to stardom and comes across her and her gangster boyfriend again. It transitions into a dreamlike ballet sequence with a surreal set design that has always fascinated me. It has steps that are camouflaged with colors that appears as soft strips that converge in a vast soft pastel desert. I actually used the concept and color in a few early pieces. Also notable is Charisse's transition from the hardened moll into a softer dream figure in the sequence.
Take a look if you like. Sadly, you won't see this kind of thing again but thanks to Mr. Donen and others this great work is still there to be enjoyed.
There is a film out currently called Final Portrait which is about the writer James Lord, played in this film by Armie Hammer, sitting for a portrait with artist Alberto Giacometti, played in the film by Geoffrey Rush.
Taking place in 1964, a couple of years before Giacometti's death, the sitting is initially supposed to last for a few hours but stretches for weeks as Giacometti agonizes and constantly alters the painting. The movie is based on Lord's perspective, one that has him confused and frustrated until at last seeing how Giacometti has transformed his image into something beyond what he himself saw in it.
I haven't seen it but imagine it to be a quiet but intense film. I've had some fascination for Giacometti's work and writings for many years, intrigued by the singularity of his vision and his dedication to bringing it to light. I find myself often nodding in agreement, as I did with the quote here at the top, when reading his words from interviews and his writings.
Here's a short film that the Christie's auction house put together several years ago about the painting of this portrait when it came to auction, selling for nearly $21 million. It's provides the basis for Final Portrait.
My father suffers from Alzheimer's dementia and is a resident at local nursing facility. One of the highlights of my frequent visits there is when he is flipping through the channels on his TV and comes upon a shot of the president(*) of this country.
My dad might not know what day it is, how old he is or where he is, but he knows a creep when he sees one. It always makes me laugh and I generally tell him that I feel the same way.
And my agreement with him might never be stronger than it is this morning as I watch this creep attempt to dismantle the healthcare system in a reckless way that most likely will hurt many people in healthcare facilities like my dad. That will hurt scores of working class families who depend on the subsidies to buy health insurance. That will put more and more Americans at risk.
This spoiled man-baby's lack of empathy is breathtaking. You see it everyday in his actions and his inaction.
For instance, his response to Puerto Rico is beyond reprehensible and immoral. It is a shameful black mark on this country.
Another example is his silence on the tragic fires in California, not to mention the same for earlier fires that terrorized much of the west.
Or take the fact that he has yet to say or tweet a single word about the four US troops killed in an ambush by an ISIS affiliate in Niger. This blob of ego uses his support for the troops as a political tool of division yet instead of meeting one of the troops when their flag draped casket came home to Dover, he played golf at his club with a Senator on that day.
Not a single solitary word to honor those troops. Yeah, he's got your backs.
There are so many other examples of his lack of empathy, his narcissism, his greedy self-serving actions, his barely covered scorn for people of color, his need for retribution and revenge, his lack of personal responsibility, his total lack of actual ideas,his ignorance of policy and our constitution and his stupidity in general.
Yes, he is a f@!*#ing moron, as his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson so eloquently stated. And that f@!*#ing moron is the face of our nation now.
People said they wanted change. Well, they got it, in the same way you get change when you drive your car into a tree.
Yeah, I know that 9 billion dollars for health subsidies for the working class is a lot of money. As are the billions of dollars required to help folks rebuild their lives in the wake of the horrific storms and fires the past few months. But a tax cut that overwhelmingly favors the top 1% and explodes our deficit by a trillion and a half dollars is somehow equitable.
I know, I know. Shut up and paint. And I will do that in minute.
I just need to vent periodically. Some vitriol sparks creativity and some destroys it. I find that holding it in is not conducive to my work. Nor is ignoring the things taking place around us. I preach transparency and honesty now so I would be wrong to avoid the subject, to parse my words to not insult those people out there who somehow can accept the actions of administration and can't see the damage being done to our nation or the future that it portends.
In short, when I see my dad today and he says his piece on this person, I am going to tell him that he's being too easy on him.
Okay, thanks for making it this far. Here's the payoff: a 1901 film, Fat and Lean Wrestling Match, from French film pioneer George Melies. I love his early effects and the sense of fun and wonder he creates. A good way to clear the palette.
I am going to shut up and paint now.

This time of social distancing is an opportune time to reconnect with our selves—but without completely shutting out the reality in our midst. Two Zen practitioners show us how it's done. By DAHL BENNETT
| Mar 27 2020
The irony of being quarantined in this time of connectivity is that we are exposed to more noise than we should be. Just a day of scrolling on our feeds sends our monkey minds on somersault, leaving us with more anxiety, stress, and fear of a pandemic whose end we are not certain of.
From the perspective of Zen meditation practitioners, the quarantine is a spiritual opportunity to go into ourselves and tap into our energy without necessarily neglecting the reality and seriousness of the crisis we are dealing with.
"During this time of social distancing and self-quarantine, we have more time than ever to slow down and look inside ourselves so this is a perfect time to do some serious meditation," says Rollie del Rosario, president of the Zen Center for Oriental Spirituality in the Philippines, also known as the Zen Center Philippines (ZCP) since 2014.

ZCP practices Zazen or sitting meditation, the purpose of which, says Del Rosario, is to discover and realize one's true nature. "This is another way of saying that the end of Zazen is total enlightenment. We usually do not sit for any intention other than that," he adds. According to Del Rosario, being totally present, open to, and responding fully to the call of "the Source of All Being" at all times and at any circumstance is another way of describing it. With constant practice, he says, Zen meditation results in wisdom, compassion, harmony, and wholeness in its practitioners' lives.
Sensei Carmen Afable
Carmen Afable, a teacher at the ZCP and one of the original members of the Center, says that amid the fear, panic, and confusion, people need to find a place where there is peace, calm, and happiness. "This place is really inside ourselves but we don't believe it," she says. Meditation is the path to this place, she says, and doing it as a community makes meditation all the more powerful.
The power of group meditation
Like most organizations around the world, the lockdown and the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted ZCP's weekly group meditation sessions or what they call communal sits (Zazenkai) which are usually held in their property in Provident Village in Marikina. On top of this, their 'much-cherished' Holy Week Sesshin or retreat had to be cancelled as well.

In the absence of actual sittings, the group was inspired to do Virtual Zazenkai instead. Through a Viber group, members are asked to 'sign in' before beginning their sit, and 'sign out' once they are done. This process makes each participant aware who is with them as they meditate in the privacy of their own homes.
Since it started in March 14, the virtual Zazenkai proved to be a success, with more than 170 members from countries like Germany, Spain, Singapore, Japan, and Canada participating in real time. "The joriki or concentration power that a collective meditation generates is much, much more than that of an individual," explains Del Rosario.
Controlling the monkey mind
In general terms, meditation is a mental exercise that trains attention and awareness. While its methods go back thousands of years, it remains relevant today, says Psychology Today, in its ability to generate calm by curbing reactivity to one's thoughts and feelings especially those that are disturbing and upsetting.
"When we sit together the energy transforms the fear. We experience that there are really no barriers and together we energize the peace within and radiate it to the whole universe," says Afable, "We save ourselves and the entire cosmos."
Apart from lay teachers like Rollie del Rosario and Carmen Afable, the Center also has a teacher from the religious, Sr. Rosario Battung, RGS (center).
To hear these guys say it, it is only in actually practicing meditation that we start to grasp what the practice can do for us internally and externally. At its most basic, the practice is a way to keep the monkey mind under control, and in the process keep emotions like fear and anxiety at bay.
"We cannot command the monkey mind to stop; it's just doing its job. But, we can trick it to quiet down, to go to sleep mode," says del Rosario.
Beginners in Zen meditation are taught to concentrate on their breath by counting from 1 to 10, where each count is alternately attributed to an inhalation and exhalation. "The way to trick the mind is to count the breath. This is an utter no-brainer activity that the monkey mind hates so after a while, the monkey loses interest and goes to sleep," explains del Rosario. The purpose of the counting is to keep the mind from wandering. If it does and focus is lost, then it is a matter of going back to 1 and starting all over again. This act of starting over when focus is lost is what is called awareness.
With practice, the more one's awareness will sharpen. Among members of ZCP, daily sitting at home of around half an hour is akin to what they call 'maintenance dosage' in medicine," del Rosario says.
Seeing the pandemic for what it is
While Zen meditation has no other purpose than to seek enlightenment, ZCP's virtual sessions make the exception of including an underlying theme: seeing the COVID-19 pandemic for what it really is.
"We cannot ignore the virus, but we have to see that it is not something apart from our True Self," says del Rosario. This, he says, takes us to the point when we see things as they really are and that there is nothing but what they call the "whole." "This point of view does not deny the danger posed by NCOVID-19 but it opens one up to respond appropriately."
Del Rosario expounds that people are now beginning to really comprehend the issue on different levels. Beyond the disruption to our daily busines, the possibility of getting sick, and even having to contend with our own mortality, the slowdown and the respite from the usual hectic pace of 21st century life is actually beneficial to our physical and mental health.
On another and more practical level, del Rosario offers a perspective that we, as interconnected people, may have realized all along but whose weight we are only becoming aware of as we see the world struggle to tackle the pandemic. "People are now coming to realize," he concludes, "that humankind can no longer proceed with a me-alone attitude—in relation to nature, other human beings, and other countries."
