Whatever you do….do not use Harveys!
So…..I'm not really an online ranter / formal letter of complaint kinda girl. I'm more of a moan in OH's ear until he gets feed up and tells me to shut it or until I run out of steam kinda girl who means to complain, but to be honest never gets around to it. But (c'mon, you knew there was a but coming!!) oh my days – Harveys furniture store. Where do I start.
I have tried to be patient and understanding because at the end of the day we're all people but this is now getting beyond a joke. I placed an order over the telephone on May 4th with the promise of delivery in 10 weeks and a receipt that will follow in the post. This all sounded great and at this point I am a happy customer – three cheers for the soon to be in our living room new cuddler chair!!
However, then the chasing began – 6 calls in total – as lets be honest it shouldn't take more than a few days for a receipt to arrive. More chasing…..more chasing….more chasing…..(at this point the poor postman is getting a bad reputation). The lack of delivery date is fair enough as we were still within the 10 promised weeks. However, it should not be too much to ask for a receipt of my purchase considering they took a large sum of money from me.
So lets fast forward to last week where I made my 5th phonecall to be told my order was due for delivery on the 1st July and will be with them on the 2nd and therefore to expect a call – oh and "I am very sorry I don't know what's happened before – it must have gotten lost in the post (poor postie!) – but your receipt is definitely in the post to you. I am doing it for you now" (or words to that effect). All great news and I'm back to being happy – or so I thought. Unfortunately in reality not so much….
Today I rang AGAIN exactly a week after call number 5 and still no receipt and no call for delivery. Unfortunately my order is apparently due in on the 14th now. Oh, and the person checked their internal post tray and my receipt is there.
Still waiting to be posted.
So I am now still with no receipt for the money they quite happily took from me over 10 weeks ago but with no proof and no order number and with ANOTHER arrival date where I have no idea if it will actually turn up again and still no idea when I will receive my order.
To me the basics of commerce are simple. Purchaser buys goods, purchaser receives proof of purchase, purchaser receives goods and if there is a delay, purchaser is kept informed. Simple right?! Unless of course you order from Harvey's!
Fantastic Customer Service? I think not. Not that they will actually care of course as they already have my money. Ok…..so I'm telling myself to shut up now but using a company that prides itself on customer service should not be this difficult.
End rant. Normal sunny disposition service will now resume. Hopefully.
Ps. Yes I did write an email of complaint….I have become THAT woman!!!
Summer has arrived – hurrah!!
To celebrate, after nursery the bear and I took full advantage by chilling out in the back garden and enjoying the rest of the sunshine.
We played, we sung and found out that someone is not a fan of cold ice lollies!
All was forgotten 5 seconds afterwards but someone is definately not impressed by that.
So, hello summer and welcome!!! We hope that you stay a while.
Happy anniversary to this pair of crazy individuals….
My parents married 36 years ago today and they are that couple that still walk down the street holding hands (yes, they're that cute). Now don't get me wrong they bicker – boy do they bicker – but growing up my parents seemed to love each other more than anyone else I came into contact with (for old people at least).
They're not perfect but then neither am I – my brothers and I certainly caused enough arguments between them over the years! – but that's also what makes them special. They're mine and I wouldn't change them for the world.
They have taught me that relationships are hard but they're worth it. They have taught me that it is impossible to be perfect but it is possible to do what you think is right. They have taught me that you're never too old to have fun and who cares what other people think. They've also taught me on many an occasion that they can STILL drink me under the table and wake up without a hangover! (not that I'm jealous or anything….grrrr).
I love you mama bear and popsicle – happy anniversary. There are not enough words but thank you both for everything you have done over the years and for just being there.
I adore weekends and this one was no exception. As working parents we have to make every one count and we do our best to cherish every moment.
This weekend was a lovely mix to activity, people and time at home. It's been a mad month or two so we had double swimming this weekend with the first session on Saturday followed by some time with GG (Great Grand) who had a birthday in the week. 83 years old and looking amazing. This man is so fit, he seriously puts us all to shame !
Absolute bliss …. the only issue is it goes so quickly!! There are no words to describe how much I do not want it to be Monday tomorrow, I keep having to remind myself that to truely appreciate the weekends together we have to experience the working week. It doesn't quite cut it but it's worth a try!!

Homecoming Kicks off Academic Year
by Kurtis Kendall
With Homecoming set to kick off Friday, September 28th, the weekend-long event is looking to bring the Fitchburg State community together.
Hank Parkinson, the Associate Dean of Student Development, serves as the "point person" for the weekend's events. "Coming together is the main purpose of Homecoming. School spirit, student engagement and just getting the community out there," he said. Parkinson has been at Fitchburg State for the past 11 years and shows genuine enthusiasm toward his work with students on Homecoming.
Homecoming is set to feature many events for the community to enjoy, including the color run, bonfire, fireworks, Cousin Stizz concert, and multiple athletic games. "Part of my job is to engage students with activities like these," said Parkinson.
Students play a significant role in planning Homecoming as well. Parkinson explained how Cousin Stizz was decided on by the student body through…
Spotlight! Athlete of the Week: Clirim Shahini
by Jack Gallant
Fitchburg State University's Men's soccer team has welcomed many new faces to its roster this year. One of the most interesting is 22-year old Senior, Clirim Shahini. Clirim is a foreign exchange student who was born in Stuttgart, Germany. While he has lived there his whole life, his parents were originally from Albania. Shahini grew up with Albanian culture and his first language is Albanian. His parents moved to Germany due to the Albanian Civil War.
Shahini says that soccer and handball are the two most popular sports in Germany and that he has been playing soccer since he was 9 years old. According to Shahini, colleges don't have sports teams like in the United States. The focus is on academics instead of recreation. As he enjoys what he learns, he is happy he can play the game he loves while also studying in America. Shahini is at Fitchburg State taking Computer Science on a one-semester exchange program. He chose Fitchburg over other U.S. schools because his sister…

Out of Obscurity: EFC Worldwide 74, KSW 45 and RUF MMA 29
Bryan Henderson October 4, 2018
Every week, Combat Press takes a look at three regional, developmental and international cards from the upcoming weekend, previewing from each a single fight to which people should pay close attention. We will also list other significant bouts from the card, as well as information on how to follow each promotion and watch the events.
Let's discover those prospects that fight in the obscurity of the regional, developmental and international circuits, waiting for their shot at the bright lights and big stage of the UFC, and those veterans looking for one more chance at stardom.
It all begins here, in the small convention centers and high school gymnasiums. It all begins with promotions such as these…
Extreme Fighting Championship Worldwide 74
Carnival City in Johannesburg, South Africa
Event Date: Oct. 6
Website: efcworldwide.com
Watch Event: Live main card on kwesesports.com (Sub-Saharan Africa), Kwesé Free Sports 1 (Africa), SABC 3 (South Africa), TV Player (United Kingdom), Fight Sports (Europe and Asia) and efcworldwide.tv (worldwide).

Spotlight Fight:
Igeu Kabesa (10-1) vs. Calum Murrie (4-1)
The 74th offering from the EFC Worldwide promotion out of South Africa may not be as stacked as some of the company's past ventures, but it features one of the organization's most accomplished champions, featherweight Igeu Kabesa. The titleholder will put the strap on the line against Calum Murrie in the evening's main event.
The champion is a product of the Fight Fit Militia. He has a background in wrestling. Kabesa has been an EFC Worldwide mainstay for his entire pro career. He debuted in 2013 and won six fights before challenging future UFC fighter Danny Henry for the featherweight crown. It was Kabesa's first fight at 145 pounds after competing mostly as a lightweight. "Smiley" captured the strap with a five-round decision over Henry. He defended the title with a first-round finish of Hanru Botha, but lost the belt in a rematch against former champ Henry, who secured a first-round submission on Kabesa and then vacated the strap when he signed with the UFC. Kabesa reclaimed the vacant title with a first-round finish of Pierre Botha and then stepped up to lightweight, where he stopped Paulo "Bananada" Silva with a spinning elbow.
Murrie is a Scottish fighter who hails from the Higher Level Martial Arts camp. After a strong 7-1 run at the amateur level that included five finishes, Murrie turned pro in 2016 and made his debut under the Absolute Championship Berkut banner. He needed just 69 seconds to lock in a brabo choke and finish fellow rookie Jack Holt. Murrie picked up another submission in his next fight and then took a decision nod over his most experienced opponent yet, Luke Ord. Murrie took another step up in competition when he joined EFC Worldwide and met Boyd Allen inside the cage. Allen, a former featherweight champion with the promotion, outworked Murrie for the decision win. The Scotsman rebounded with a first-round submission of Pierre Botha to climb into title contention.
Sadly, Kabesa and Allen were scheduled to meet earlier this year, but the bout was scrapped and Kabesa instead fought longtime journeyman Bananada. The Allen match-up made far more sense for Kabesa, who sits alongside the likes of Demarte Pena, Irshaad Sayed and Nkazimulo Zulu as one of the promotion's more well-known stars. Murrie, despite his short run at the pro level, also stacks up as a dangerous adversary for the champ. The Scottish upstart is an extremely gifted grappler who can make quick work of opponents, but his style is based off a taekwondo background and features a lot of kicks, with an unorthodox approach to his takedown attempts. Murrie can also land looping strikes, but those punches, despite snapping back the head of the aforementioned Allen, don't seem to pack a ton of power.
While Murrie's kick-heavy approach could present a problem for Kabesa, it could also lead to plenty of openings for the champion to score takedowns. However, Kabesa might not want to test Murrie's submission proficiency on the mat. Meanwhile, he will want to take note of Allen's most effective strategy against Murrie, which consisted of chopping away at the Scot's legs. Murrie looked shaky at times after taking a few solid kicks. Kabesa's biggest strengths, though, will be his knockout power and his ability to control the action in the clinch. The champ will close the distance to neutralize Murrie's kicking game, but he'll rely on strikes off the clinch separation to score his biggest points. Murrie has never been finished, but that could change after he eats a few of Kabesa's powerful punches.
Other key bouts: Diana Felipe (2-1) vs. Cheyanne Vlismas (1-1), Billy Oosthuizen (2-0) vs. Zwe Ngema (0-1)

Dricus Du Plessis (12-1) vs. Roberto Soldić (13-3)
EFC Worldwide fans should also recognize the name of one of the featured fighters on the KSW 45 card. Dricus Du Plessis left the South African promotion as a reigning two-division champion, and he found gold again when he landed in Poland's top organization. Now, the man who quickly became the KSW welterweight kingpin with a "Performance of the Night" finish over Roberto Soldić returns to defend his belt in a rematch with Soldić.
Du Plessis, a former WAKO world champion kickboxer, failed in his bid to become the youngest champion in EFC Africa history when, at age 20, he was submitted by Garreth McLellan in a middleweight title bout. He rebounded from the loss with a first-round submission win over Darren Daniel in a 185-pound bout and then started flirting with a move to welterweight. Over the course of his next three fights, Du Plessis dropped to 170 pounds, fought in a catchweight bout at 176 pounds and captured the vacant EFC Worldwide welterweight crown with a submission victory over Martin van Staden. He then returned to middleweight and notched another submission win when he defeated Rafał Haratyk in the main event of EFC Worldwide 56. He returned to welterweight and made a title defense against Mauricio de Rocha Jr. at EFC Worldwide 59 and then shifted back to middleweight once more at EFC Worldwide 62, where he topped Yannick Bahati to become a two-division titleholder. Du Plessis, who has only been competing professionally in MMA since 2013, fights out of Team CIT. The 24-year-old "Stilknocks" has four wins by some form of knockout and eight victories via submission.
Soldić is a Croatian-born fighter who trains out of UFD Gym Dusseldorf. The 23-year-old's "RoboCop" moniker might make many think of the movie of the same name, but it's also a nice little wink, intentional or not, at fellow countryman Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. Soldić has been fighting professionally since 2014. He won his first four fights by stoppage before facing a setback in a decision loss to Marko Radaković. After rebounding with two additional wins, including one finish, Soldić tasted defeat again, this time by way of a split verdict against future Bellator fighter Yaroslav Amosov under the Tech-Krep banner. The Croatian rebounded in spectacular fashion to win title belts in three different organizations over the span of his next three fights. Those three title wins, which included a victory over veteran Ivica Trušček, made up the first portion of Soldić's streak of seven straight knockouts heading into his first encounter with Du Plessis. Before his defeat at the hands of the South African, Soldić defeated Borys Mańkowski to claim the KSW welterweight strap.
Soldić, who has been tasked with handling the likes of Trušček, Mańkowski, Vaso Bakočević and Lewis Long, seemed like a clear favorite headed into the pair's first meeting. Du Plessis was venturing outside of the EFC Worldwide promotion for the first time for a huge test, after all. However, the veteran kickboxing champ demonstrated that he was no joke. Yet, Soldić did give him a scare or two in the first stanza, a round in which he overwhelmed the challenger at times with flurries of punches. Du Plessis was forced on the defensive, but he did manage to suplex the Croatian and almost secured a rear-naked choke as the round came to a close. Soldić was doing well again in the second frame until Du Plessis floored him with a big left hand and finished the fight with some additional ground-and-pound strikes.
Soldić tends to be a counter striker, but he certainly didn't sit back and wait for Du Plessis to surge forward in the pair's first fight. The Croatian has excellent combinations that slowly build up to overwhelm opponents, and he was working his game well before Du Plessis staged his comeback. Soldić stays active on the mat and looks to escape to his feet at any opportunity. Fans are in for a real treat with this rematch. Either fighter is capable of turning the tide at any moment. Du Plessis probably has some additional confidence stemming from his prior win over Soldić, but he might not be able to weather the early storm a second time. Soldić will be more careful not to walk right into a defensive takedown this time and instead opt to score the finish in the stand-up after landing a barrage of strikes.
Other key bouts: Phil De Fries (15-6) vs. Karol Bedorf (15-3) for the heavyweight title, Erko Jun (1-0) vs. Paweł Mikołajuw (3-3), Damian Janikowski (3-0) vs. Michał Materla (26-6), Scott Askham (16-4) vs. Marcin Wójcik (11-5), Alfie Davis (10-2) vs. Leszek Krakowski (12-1), Max Nunes (17-5) vs. Wagner Prado (14-3), James McSweeney (15-16) vs. Thiago Silva (20-7)

José Maria Tomé (38-8) vs. Rentsen Otgontulga (3-0)
Some veterans on the regional scene are busy building a case for another shot at the big show. Others, like Jose Maria Tomé, have been reduced to little more than gatekeepers with added benefit of a UFC veteran tag next to their name. Tomé, a Brazilian flyweight, provides a big-name match-up for up-and-coming Mongolian Rentsen Otgontulga in one of only three professional bouts on the RUF MMA 29 card.
The 36-year-old Tomé was one of the earliest names to emerge when the flyweight division enjoyed its rise to the UFC level. The seasoned veteran made his pro debut in 2004 and was already 33-3 by the time he stepped into the Octagon in 2013. Along the way, the Brazilian suffered his only losses to Leandro Higo, Jussier "Formiga" da Silva and Carlos Oliveira. Meanwhile, he notched victories over a long list of mediocre opponents. His UFC debut came against John Lineker, who finished Tomé with strikes in the second round. The Team Nogueira fighter fell again in his only other UFC appearance, which came against Dustin Ortiz. Following his UFC release, Tomé won four straight and claimed a flyweight title on the Brazilian circuit. He fought for the vacant Absolute Championship Berkut flyweight title in 2016, but he was submitted in the fifth round by Askar Askarov. This was the start of a rough patch for the Brazilian in which he went just 1-3 with the Russian promotion while losing to Askarov, Kurban Gadzhiev and Maycon Silvan. Tomé's only win in this stretch came against middling opponent Bruno Mesquita.
Otgontulga's resume is far shorter than that of his veteran foe. The 26-year-old Mongol made his first two pro appearances with the Ranik Ultimate Fighting Federation, where he scored first-round victories over sub-.500 opponents. His next fight took place in his homeland, where he claimed a victory over a rookie fighter. After a nearly two-year hiatus, Otgontulga returned in 2017 and fought to a no-contest with Raphael Montini de Lima. This will be his first fight of 2018.
It seems like RUF wants to see just how low Tomé can go. Otgontulga could be a legitimate fighter, but his record so far looks like lots of padding and very little actual substance. The Mongol has also remained primarily in his region of Asia, which still has some distance to cover before it's seen as a source of world-class MMA talent. If Tomé does lose this fight, then it's probably time for the Brazilian to hang his gloves up for good.
Tomé should have enough left in his tank to avoid that outcome. Although he might be on a skid right now, those losses still came to opponents with a combined winning record of 31-4. All but one of his remaining defeats came to either future or current UFC fighters. The UFC castoff is more than capable of delivering knockout or submission finishes, and he should run circles around Otgontulga in terms of his skill level. The Mongol probably stands a better chance on the feet, so expect his experienced opponent to take the fight to the mat and lock in a submission for the victory.

Architectural Digest Gives Fans a Peek at Tim McGraw & Faith Hill's Island
Screenshot via The Scene
Where do Tim McGraw and Faith Hill go when they want to take a break from being country superstars? Their private island in the Bahamas, of course.
Country's favorite couple gave Architectural Digest the inside scoop on their own 20-acre island. According to the magazine, they purchased L'île d'Anges in 2003 but it was a much bigger project than they ever imagined.
"We set out to build a house. We had no idea we had to build everything else," Hill tells AD. "We basically had to build a little town."
They needed all the basics including electricity — and even running water! The couple enlisted the help of a Nashville architecture and interior design firm, McAlpine. Architect Bobby McAlpine and his partner, Greg Tankersley, worked with McGraw and Hill to create their own private paradise.
"We wanted to feel connected to the outside," Hill says. "When the breeze comes through the room, it's just life-changing… It really is! It's something for the soul."
"We wanted it set up so that when we brought people down, they'd get the same feeling that we got when we first came," her husband explains. "The same reaction to the pristineness of it, to how relaxed it feels. The house is functional but it really blends into the environment."
Get a sneak peek at the island below and head to Architectural Digest for the complete 411 on L'île d'Anges.

That Sneaky Ol' Moon
November 18, 2018
We know it as simply "the moon", but all is not as it seems with our nearest celestial neighbor. The moon presents to our eyes some of the most befuddling of all cosmic illusions, and tonight we'll do a bit of cosmic sleuthing to figure out that sneaky ol' moon!
December nights in the desert are such a magnificent time for stargazing, especially when meteors are raining down from the annual Geminid meteor shower. Learn the origins of the year's best shower, why it returns each year, and how to watch the celestial show!
Shadow of the Moon
On the evening of January 20, we in North America will be treated to a magnificent total eclipse of the moon. Learn how eclipses work, how they've influenced history, and how you can view and photograph it like a pro!
Where Stars Are Born... And Die
From colossal glowing clouds where new stars and planetary system are being born, to the shattered remains of once-mighty suns—all appear overhead on desert winter nights. Join us to peer deep the winter sky and learn where stars are born… and die.
Gravity: It's Worth The Weight
It controls everything from our diets to the universe itself. We on Earth rarely give it a second thought, but tonight we'll explore some of the most fascinating—and puzzling—aspects of nature's cosmic glue: gravity.
Sprinkled among the remarkable discoveries about our universe are stories that rarely get told. Tonight, we'll hear some of these lesser known tales from astronomical history and discover, as Paul Harvey so often said: "the rest of the story."
Einstein's Eclipse
Exactly one century ago the great scientist Albert Einstein turned the universe upside down as a total solar eclipse proved one of his greatest theories. Join us tonight as we celebrate Einstein's eclipse, and one of the most monumental discoveries in astronomical history!

Command and Conquer is a series of RTS games with three different storylines. There is one first/third person shoot-em-up in theseries called Renegade. They predominantly aimed at PCs as control is easiestwhen using a mouse because of the number of different actions that need to be carried out. In the game, you need to harvest rawmaterials, build buildings/vehicles and train soldiers. Westwood produced the RTS game Dune 2 first then decided to create anew, different storyline. Both the Nod and Red Alert storylines are set in parallel universes whereas the Generals could quiteeasily happen in our dimension. In all games you can play any side, each side has their own weapons, buildings, vehicles and personnel.
The world has been ravaged by a war between a religious terrorist organisation called the Brotherhood of NOD (NOD) and what remainsof the free world protected by the Global Defence Initiative (GDI). The NOD is led by the charismatic leader Kane who is played inall games by Joseph Kucan. A number of well-known American actors/esses have appeared in the series. They include James Earl Jones,Michael Biehn,Michael Ironside, Tricia Helfer, Grace Park and Josh Holloway. The character in the corner of the third picture is that of Josh Holloway. An alien mineral known as Tiberium has arrived on the planet and both organisations fight for control. It is deadly when contact is made between human and tiberium.The mineral is used to build up cash reserves so that they can build and train. Thereare three versions of the game currently out, not including the expansion packs. Command and Conquer, Tiberium Sun and Tiberium Wars.In the third game in the series, aliens called the Scrin make their first appearance. They unleash an all out war against both theNOD and GDI. They are tripedial creatures with their own weaponry and thrive on Tiberium. Unlike the GDI and NOD, we don't get tosee movies of them instructing what to do. Instructions are just a screen with a world rotating.
In an alternate parallel universe, Professor Einstein has travelled back through time and killed Hitler. This he believes willprevent the Second World War from happening. The Nazis do not come to power but Stalin attacks Europe thus beginning an alternateWorld War. There are two games in this series with a third due out. After the first game, a new Russian leader is installedbut he soon launches attacks on America. Action in the first game takes place predominantly in Europe whereas the second game has themajority of action in America. The screenshots are from Red Alert 2. Ray Wise, the Vice President in 24 Day 5 has beenupgraded to the President. Another well known actress is Kari Wuhrer who plays Special Operative Tanya.
America and China fight a religious organisation that has declared war on them. You can draw a direct correlation between theterrorist organisation the Global Liberation Army (GLA) and Al-Qaida. In the original Generals, there are no video clips, theyadded them to the expansion. These games were banned in China because in a mission, a renegade GLA group side with the Chinese.There is no reference to Tiberium or anything alien.

From the Heart: Healthcare Transformation from India to the Cayman Islands
The objective of technology is to drive down cost and the commoditization of a product makes it cheaper. That said healthcare doesn't necessarily need to be a hand-crafted masterpiece. Masterpieces are beautiful, but how many people can afford them? In healthcare, people need affordable processes, procedures and results that they can attain, afford and use to improve their lives.
These are the prevailing sentiments depicted in a new colorful, moving documentary film produced by Health Catalyst. The 29-minute film, "From the Heart: Healthcare Transformation from India to the Cayman Islands," premiered at the Healthcare Analytics Summit in Salt Lake City late last summer.
The film tells the story of Dr. Devi Shetty of Bangalore, India, who describes his multi-year mission to deliver radically lower-cost heart surgeries to those who cannot afford them in India, allowing families to choose life rather than almost certain death because of the condition. Doing so allows parents to receive affordable care that empowers them to save their young children with heart defects rather than watching them die.
"A hundred years after the first heart surgery, less than 20 percent of the population can afford it. For 80 percent of the worlds' population, if they ever require a heart operation, they're going to die. This is unacceptable. Healthcare has to be available to everyone on this planet with dignity and that is what we are trying to do. And it's going to happen, I'm convinced of that. It's going to happen in our own lifetime," said Dr. Devi Shetty, chairman and founder of Narayana Health.
Narayana's average cardiac hospital to perform thousands of heart surgeries per year for less than $1,400 per case – about 2 percent of the average cost for heart surgery in the US.
"Henry Ford proved that the commoditization of a product makes it cheaper, makes it better and makes it more efficient," said Dr. Shetty. "I strongly believe that we have to commoditize the delivery of healthcare, and that is the model that Health City represents for the world."
Dr. Shetty, who was Mother Teresa's personal physician, replicates his work in India and takes it to the Cayman Islands where the film takes viewers where this year Shetty, in collaboration with business and government leadership on the island, opened a similar, state-of-the-art hospital, Health City, at a fraction of the U.S. cost, producing better outcomes and higher patient safety.

Q: ITextSharp/Pdftk: place Base64 Image from Web on PDF as Pseude-Signature I am trying to conceptualize a way to get base64 image onto an already rendered PDF in iText. The goal is to have the PDF save to disk then reopen to apply the "signature" in the right spot.
I haven't had any success with finding other examples online so I'm asking Stack.
My app uses .net c#.
Any advice on how to get started?

A: As @mkl mentioned the question is a confusing, especially the title - usually base64 and signature do not go together. Guessing you want to place a base64 image from web on the PDF as a pseudo signature?!?!
A quick working example to get you started:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string currentDir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
    // 'INPUT' => already rendered pdf in iText
    PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(INPUT);
    string outputFile = Path.Combine(currentDir, OUTPUT);
    using (var stream = new FileStream(outputFile, FileMode.Create))
    {
        using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, stream))
        {
            AcroFields form = stamper.AcroFields;
            var fldPosition = form.GetFieldPositions("lname")[0];
            Rectangle rectangle = fldPosition.position;
            string base64Image = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==";
            Regex regex = new Regex(@"^data:image/(?<mediaType>[^;]+);base64,(?<data>.*)");
            Match match = regex.Match(base64Image);
            Image image = Image.GetInstance(
                Convert.FromBase64String(match.Groups["data"].Value)
            );
            // best fit if image bigger than form field
            if (image.Height > rectangle.Height || image.Width > rectangle.Width)
            {
                image.ScaleAbsolute(rectangle);
            }
            // form field top left - change parameters as needed to set different position
            image.SetAbsolutePosition(rectangle.Left + 2, rectangle.Top - 2);
            stamper.GetOverContent(fldPosition.page).AddImage(image);
        }
    }
}

If you're not working with a PDF form template, (AcroFields in code snippet) explicitly set the absolute position and scale the image as needed.

Because They Grow Up Too Fast: Grateful!!!
As I am sitting at the computer Micah is standing on my chair behind me pulling on my pony tail. Though I don't like my hair pulled he is being really being sweet. Every couple minutes he pulls my head back so he can kiss me. It's amazing how one minute he can be so tender and sweet and the next minute pulling Kate's hair and torturing the cat or dog. The good news is that it has been over a week since I have put him in time out for hitting or throwing things at the animals or us. Yea! He is progressing.
So much has happened over the last month that I need to blog about. I will catch up next week when I take a trip to San Francisco with the love of my life. This is one of the many things I am feeling extremely grateful for. My sweet parents (bless their heart) are kind enough to watch our 4 kids while Bruce and I escape. It won't be a full fledged getaway trip as Bruce has to go for the National Architecture Convention, but I am looking forward to having time with my husband and alone time without the distraction of kids. I get to sleep, read, watch TV, wander the city, and eat without kids demanding, whining, crying, etc! I can't wait for some solitude and then miss them terribly!
have a blast in san fran - totally jealous!


JACKSON — Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn yesterday repeated his support for an across-the-board teacher pay raise this year.
But, the Republican said it will be weeks before lawmakers will know how much money is available to put into raises. Legislators have an early April deadline to adopt a budget for fiscal 2015, which begins July 1.
The House and Senate would have to agree on a teacher pay plan before anything could go to the governor.
Gunn said he likes the idea of merit pay but there is no effective way now to evaluate which teachers are good or bad.
"I don't want to pay bad teachers. I wish they would go do something else," he told an audience of about 50 during a forum sponsored by the Stennis Institute of Government and the Capitol press corps.
Gov. Phil Bryant, a fellow Republican, has said repeatedly that he wants to base any teacher pay increases on test scores and job evaluations.
Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican who presides over the Senate, said he also prefers merit pay raises over across-the-board raises.
Gunn said he believes most teachers are doing a good job and because it has been seven years since they've gotten a pay raise it is time to give them more money.
"I think it will enhance the quality of education in Mississippi," Gunn said.
The last time Mississippi teachers received an across-the-board raise was in 2007, a state election year. Four districts — Clarksdale, Rankin County, Lamar County and Gulfport — are trying merit pay.
The National Education Association, a teachers' union, said that in 2011-12, Mississippi teachers were paid an average of $41,646, the second-lowest rate in the country.
Even without an across-the-board pay raise, Mississippi has a salary schedule that gives teachers a "step" increase of $495 a year. Teachers with master's, specialist or doctoral degrees earn more. Those with 35 years' experience and a doctorate make at least $64,870, and many districts offer local pay supplements.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, said last year it would cost at least $35 million to give a $1,000 pay raise to all certified school employees. That includes teachers, administrators, counselors and others.

Chris Hacker becomes WMMA President
The Wood Machinery Manufacturers of America (WMMA), the national trade association for those who make machinery, cutting tools and supplies for the woodworking industry, has announced the election of Chris Hacker as its new president.
Announcement was made at the Woodworking Machinery Conference, which took place at the CasaMagna Marriott Resort in Cancun, Mexico.
As a New York native, Hacker started his career in the woodworking industry at James L. Taylor Mfg in Poughkeepsie, NY, in 1991. Early on in his career Hacker had the responsibilities of Purchasing, Production Scheduling and Inventory Control. When JLT Clamps, a division Taylor Mfg, was started in 1997, he was one of the original "Clamp Guys". This term was given by customers and distributors to describe the sales and marketing department. In 2002, Hacker relocated to Greensboro, NC, to manage sales and marketing for JLT Clamps. As Vice President of JLT Clamps, he had the distinct honor of managing a small growing company with a young talented sales team. Currently, Hacker enjoys managing the Southeast territory for JLT, Taylor and the Cameron Automation machinery lines. As he enters his 25th year with James L. Taylor Mfg, Hacker still enjoys developing new business and relationships with customers and distributors.
A highlight of Hacker's career has been his active role in the WMMA since 2006. He has had the pleasure of serving and chairing the Business Development Committee and the Membership Development Committee from 2010 to 2014. The experience of sharing ideas and success stories with Industry leaders has been valuable in all aspects of his career at Taylor. Hacker has always enjoyed listening to the senior members of the Association and soaking in of the knowledge and experience they have to share.
Hacker said, "As newly appointed WMMA President, it is both an honor and privilege to serve the members of this great 117 year old Association. This is truly an ideal time to be an active member of the WMMA. Attending WIC offers so much information in the seminars and committee meetings, the networking opportunities always prove to be valuable as you rub elbows with industry leaders and the IWF Show is in a growth phase which all attention to the success of the industry will shine this August in Atlanta. I feel my greatest role as WMMA President is to serve its members, so please feel free to contact me at any time with Association business."
"Chris Hacker is going to make an excellent leader for this association," stated Jamison Scott, WMMA's outgoing president. "He has served WMMA and the industry at large on numerous levels, and is well prepared for the challenges of this position."
WMMA is located at 9 Newport Drive, Suite 200, Forest Hill, MD 21050. The phone number is 443-640-1052 and the fax number is 443-640-1031. Its website is www.wmma.org.

Q: In R, how can I append new information to S4 objects from a function? I am passing a string that represents a variable name to a function. Essentially I want to add new information to the variable, the problem I'm having is that it doesn't actually attach the new information to the S4 object, it just creates a new variable with myObjName.newinfo that is actually unrelated to the original object.
Here is what I've tried so far.
myS4 <- makeSomeS4()

myFunction <- function(myS4name)
{
    #Get the actual s4 object based on the variable name.
    res <- get(myS4name)

    #Make sure they're passing us the correct type of object.
    try(if(typeof(res) != "S4") stop("Error: extract_res_data requires S4 type object as result set for parameter res."))

    #I've tried this way with eval.
    myNum = 5
    myNum_assign <- paste(myS4name, ".myNum", " <<- ", myNum, sep="")
    eval(parse(text=myNum_assign))

    #I've tried this way with assign.
    myNum = 5
    myNum_assign = paste(resName, ".myNum", sep="")
    assign(myNum_assign, myNum, envir = .GlobalEnv)

}

So now I can run this function, then say
> myFunction("myS4")
> myS4.myNum
    5

Looks fine at first glance, but actually the myS4.myNum is it's own variable and has nothing to do with myS4.  So if I later pass myS4 to another function, and then try to access .myNum, it doesn't exist.
How can I properly attach the new values to the S4?  It will not always be simple data sets, sometimes I will need to attach data frames or lists for instance.
I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

A: In short, dot notation does not work like this in R. In R dots are completely valid parts of a variable name and function just like an underscore. When you assign a value to myS4.myNum you are simply creating a new variable with that name, as you discovered.
Here's a short example of how S4 slots are used:
setClass("my_class", representation(my_val = "numeric"))
my_object <- new("my_class")
my_object@my_val <- 5

But there's much more to it, beyond the scope of an SO answer. Check out http://adv-r.had.co.nz/S4.html, etc., for more info on how S4 objects work.

Compact Camping Concepts | New Packable Kayak!
On a recent trip we tested a new packable kayak. As a solution to minimizing space and ease of packing we've used a packable kayak that performed well and being in a bag, was great to pack in the Explorer Box. The previous boat was a skin on frame which took a bit of time to put it together; whereas the new kayak was as simple as taking it out, pumping it up (a good five minute workout) and getting in to paddle.
The openness of the boat was enjoyable. Being able to sit any way we wanted without compromising balance and with both of us paddling. For an inflatable boat, it was surprisingly fast. Paddling with our friends, who were in a canoe, we were able to out distance them without much effort. The Trinity II self bailing is great, however, in choppy conditions the bailing holes splash the forward paddler. To minimize this, I put our storage bag in the front of the boat and rested my feet over the bailing holes which worked pretty well. The removable tracking fin provides excellent tracking and minimizes weathercocking. I haven't had a chance to, but it would be fine solo paddling, too.
The Trinity II is 15'3″ long by 32″ wide. The Trinity II side tubes are 9″, and with two average size adults you will have about 7″ of free-board above the water surface. The inflatable floor is a full 7″ thick and is keel shaped at each end. There are two comfortable lift handles, and each seat is adjustable and has a large cargo pocket on the back. The boat with two seats and heavy duty fin weighs in at 51.5 pounds.

Williams Police assist in big bust
Mario Santino Bugnone, 25, arrested on numerous counts
Originally Published: June 4, 2008 10:42 a.m.
Officers with the Williams Police Department assisted in a major bust May 28 when they took part in the arrest of 25-year-old Mario Santino Bugnone from Tusayan. Bugnone was arrested on one count of possession of a dangerous drug for sale - listed as methamphetamine - one count of possession of marijuana for sale, one count of possession of marijuana for personal use, one count of possession of a dangerous drug for personal use, one count of a possession of narcotics - listed as cocaine - for personal use, one count of drug paraphernalia, one count of felony possession of stolen property and one count of felony trafficking in stolen property, according to a report from the Coconino County Sheriff's Office in Flagstaff.
Bugnone is currently being held in the Coconino County Detention Facility on a $50,000 bond.
Williams Police Chief Herman Nixon said the arrest was a big one for northern Arizona.
"Most of our drug problems in Williams are users, which is why you don't see the big arrests in Williams. For here that was a pretty large bust," Nixon said. "Most of that product was being sold over here in Williams. That put a big dent in the drugs that were coming into our city."
Police in the Williams area were first alerted to the case after they took a report of a stolen laptop from a local motel May 24. Bugnone, according to officials, became a suspect in the case following an initial investigation. Williams police, working with Coconino County Sheriff's deputies, obtained a search warrant for Bugnone's residence at the Quality Inn Dorms Housing in Tusayan. Sheriff's deputies, Williams police and agents from the Northern Arizona Metro Street Crimes Task Force served the search warrant to the residence, according to the report. Bugnone was arrested without incident.
The stolen laptop, 56 grams of methamphetamine, three-quarters of a pound of marijuana and assorted drug paraphernalia were among the items recovered from Bugnone's Tusayan residence, according to the report. The methamphetamines are reported to have a street value in Tusayan of over $5,600. The marijuana was reported to have a Tusayan street value of over $800. Future arrests and search warrants are pending, authorities said.
"You had a large quantity of meth, just over two ounces, and then you had cocaine, which was a minimal amount that would fall below the threshold for being for sale," Nixon said. "It depends on your quantity of drugs that determine whether it's for sale. If you have the packaging material, all of those things that were found, coincide with what a person normally uses to sell drugs."
Gerry Blair, with the Coconino County Sheriff's Office in Flagstaff, credited the Williams police and other agencies for working together in the recent arrest.
"This is an ongoing effort involving a multitude of different agencies to get the street dealers out of commission and we're going to continue to work together to do that and accomplish that goal," Blair said.


My hubby's birthday is tomorrow, but his parents wanted to come down today to celebrate. No problem. Since they like BBQ, I tossed a chicken, along with a package of steaks (sans packaging) on the barbie. Older Son, who as you have heard many times before is spending the year in Israel, called to wish his dad a happy birthday, and mentioned he was just about to head out to a BBQ as well to celebrate Lag B'Omer. Lag B'Omer is a happy holiday, usually celebrated with picnics, bonfires or BBQs (or in my case, a bonfire in the BBQ when the chicken caught fire). There are several explanations as to the origin of Lag B'Omer, a few that fall in with the usual "they tried to kill us, we won, let's eat" so I'll leave it at that.
Besides the dead animals, I served salad (out of a bag, sue me), potato salad, cole slaw and my famous parve chocolate cake. Today's post is about the cole slaw.
I found the original recipe at Top Secret Recipes several years ago. Don't bother to visit that site now because the simpler version I use has been replaced by several more complex ones.
If you decide that slicing a head of cabbage is way too much work, buy 2 bags o'slaw and chop up the shreds some more to duplicate my version. Or don't. 'Sup to you.
The original recipe called for Fat-Free Miracle Whip. But the last time I read its label it contained dairy, so I changed the recipe to the more fat-laden parve-friendly regular stuff.
You can make this a day ahead. The slaw will soften a bit, but no one will mind a bit.
Since there were only 5 people at the patio table this afternoon, I made half a batch and still had leftovers, so don't judge the quantity of the recipe by the pictures.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Miracle Whip and sugar. Set aside a few minutes to let the sugar dissolve (otherwise the dressing will be gritty).
Cut the cabbage into large chunks (in order to avoid the more solid core, which grows up through the head). Discard core.
Thinly slice the chunks, then thinly slice the slices to create about 6 cups of slaw.
I used only 3 baby carrots today, but you'll need more for a full recipe or maybe one small whole carrot. I sliced them lengthwise, then lined them up and sliced them again. Then chopped them up a few times to get really tiny pieces. Place slaw and carrots into a large serving bowl.
Pour dressing on top, and toss to coat well.
Cover, place in refrigerator and chill for several hours before serving.

Velvet Buzzsaw Movie Information
Overall Rank: 10229
# of Ratings: 17
Director: Dan Gilroy
Actors: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo, John Malkovich, Billy Magnussen, Natalia Dyer, Toni Collette
Plot: When a woman discovers a cache of paintings left behind by a deceased neighbor, they become the new hit of the contemporary art world. But the eerie paintings that invoke such a response soon become to exert a bloody price on those who put greed ahead of art. -- Chris Kavan
I'm don't really get into contemporary art (film and game reviews aside) but I do know that a lot of the current art world is driven by money and that what is defined by "good" art these days is what sells. That being said, there's a wicked streak of dark humor in watching a group of self-indulgent gallery owners, critics and art dealers getting offed by the very art they represent. It helps the film boasts a talented cast as well. Dan Gilroy is a nice fit for the film - and bringing Jake Gyllenhaal along for another ride works out once again.

Critique is so limiting and emotionally draining.
I've always wanted to do something long-form, beyond opinion.
Dip my toe into an exploration of origin and essence.
A metamorphosis of spirit into reality.
I've… I've never had the vehicle until now.
Regularly I'm asked to watch a low-budget film and to give my opinion about it. And once in a while, I'll accept such a favor. But when someone asks me, to watch a horror movie every month, and then report on it, I can hardly refuse it. It's a win-win situation. I'm simply a mega fan of horror. And the one who asked me to do it is someone terrified to watch a horror movie. And when asked which horror I should watch this month, I got the answer "Velvet Buzzsaw". Well, time to carry out this task so they won't be …
"Critique is so limiting and emotionally draining"
"The admiration I had for your work has completely evaporated."
'Velvet Buzzsaw' feels more like Goosebumps TV movie with the plot summary and overexpose lighting that made it look cheap. This is just sad as I had high hopes for this one, despite 'Roman J. Israel Esq.' leaving a sour taste in my mouth.
There's not a single likable character in this movie. Well maybe Natalia Dyer character who play's the innocent co-worker. What's even worse is they get way too much screen time, which bogs down the pacing, because I couldn't give a sh*t about any of them.
I was pretty bored at times if I have to be honest.
It's unfocused and tries way too hard to be everything - after awhile it forgets about the killer paintings. The critique on the art world, art itself, critics and horror - …

I get a lot of support questions for making changes to the layout of my plugin, Participants Database. While the whole subject of the use of CSS to format web pages is vast, I'm going to try to describe some simple techniques so users with limited CSS skills can make changes.
In part one, I will lay some of the groundwork, preparing those unfamiliar with CSS for the techniques that will follow.
The simple explanation is that CSS is a set of rules that determine how HTML elements will be presented on a page. Generally, these rules will be loaded by the web page from a CSS file, but they can also be embedded in the HTML. Each rule has a selector that determines which elements it will affect. The rule contains one or more declarations which include an attribute and a value. If the declaration is in effect, it will set the attribute of the affected element to the value.
It's important to understand how selectors work: on the simplest level, they name the element (or tag) that they will act on. They can get specific about the element by naming the elements that contain it, or the element's class, or another attribute. These can get quite complex, but the important thing to remember is that more specific selectors override more general selectors.
The first rule makes all text inside of an "a" tag red, while the second rule specifies that text inside an "a" tag that is inside of a container with a class of "comment" would be not red, but blue. The selector is more specific, so it takes precedence.
If there are two rules of equal specificity, the latter rule will override the former. For the kind of changes we're discussing in this article, this won't come into play, but it's good to know.
All the CSS selectors on a web page can set up a tidy hierarchy so that the less specific selectors are setting general attributes, while more specific selectors are for special cases. In practice, this can be quite complicated: a typical WordPress page will have hundreds of CSS rules affecting it's presentation.
It often happens that all the selectors active on a page add up to a big mess. CSS selectors have a well-defined structure, but it's very tolerant of poorly written code, so there can be a lot of unnecessary complexity. Adding to the complication and mess in WordPress are stylesheets added by plugins authored by other developers with different styles and levels of ability. This makes making changes to the presentation more difficult, but there is help available to make it a bit easier to get the result you want.
Generally, unless you are a web designer, you will be making your changes by adjusting the theme settings. In some cases, you may need to add a few of your own CSS rules, and this is what we'll be attempting to provide some help with.
If you are adding your own CSS rules, these rules will often be placed in a settings area for additional CSS rules. For instance, if you have Jetpack installed, there is a setting under the Appearance menu called "Edit CSS" where such rules can be placed. For the Participants Database plugin, there is a tab in the settings page where rules that will be applied only to pages with plugin output can be placed.
For more extensive presentation and structural layout changes, you will need to rely on the theme settings. Unless you're prepared to learn the art of CSS programming, for major changes, you'll be stuck with whatever the theme developer allows you to customize.
One of the most difficult things to grasp at first is that some things will be almost impossible to change with CSS, while others will be very easy. Mostly, it's helpful to remember that there will be some changes you want to make that will end up being impractical, and that the problematic ones are typically formatting changes, where you want to change the location or size of elements on a page.
At this point you have a general idea of what CSS is and how it works. I've briefly described how a set of rules interacts through the hierarchy of selectors to determine how the content is presented. I've also gone over some WordPress specific stuff like where CSS changes can be put, and the limits to what you can do with a few CSS rules.
Now, we are ready to analyze specific elements and CSS on a page so we can understand why an element is displayed as it is and how it can be changed it to display the way you want.

Hark! Medieval stallholders, traders and vendors – we want you!
Merchants and stallholders selling or demonstrating wares at the medieval market-place is one of the most popular attributes of the Abbey Medieval Festival and a much loved favourite of fans and visitors!
The aim of the festival is to provide an authentic medieval environment, including the market place and each year carefully selected stallholders take part. Stalls include items such as medieval food, arts, crafts and weapons such as medieval swords or shields. The period re-created at the Abbey Medieval Festival covers a thousand years – from AD 600 to 1600 – allowing a great variety of re-enactment arts and crafts.
What medieval goods do you have?
High standards are set for our merchants, crafts persons or artisans, with the bench-mark being raised year-on-year, in order to consistently improve on our reputation as Australia's most authentic medieval event. With almost 30,000 visitors annually, we welcome new merchants and crafts persons to our market. Participation is on a first-come, first-accepted process, providing the criteria is met. Applications are now open for the 2019 festival, and if you would like send us an application, please read the Medieval Stallholder Requirements to check the necessary details. Wearing a costume appropriate to your time period is a requirement and a general reference to the particular era your goods relate to should also be made in your application.
Demonstrators of crafts should use materials of the period; for instance, card-weaving displays should have cards of appropriate materials, such as leather, bone or wood. Modern playing cards used in tablet weaving displays are not in keeping with our medieval theme and are not acceptable. We accept that some crafts may need to use some modern tools and materials however, these should be kept to a minimum and if possible out of sight of the public. Blatantly modern items are not in keeping with our medieval theme and should be hidden or eliminated. And each year we ask traders to work a little harder to become an authentic participant!
We especially welcome purveyors of crafts that are specifically medieval, such as pilgrim badge makers, potters making authentic medieval pottery, costumers in the style of the period, armourers, and so on.
So, if you are a merchant or craft-person selling or demonstrating wares that were part of the artistic heritage of the Middle Ages, we want you! Remember to check out the details firs, and if you are still interested, submit your application for 2019.
MEDIEVAL MARKETPLACE: Food, Wine, Weapons and Crafts.
Good morrow, good people. The year 2014 carries us to the 25th anniversary of the annual Abbey Medieval Festival. This silver celebration will see the Medieval Marketplace bustling with excitement as Brave Knights, Warriors and Fair Ladies come from across the ages to choose where to spend their hard earned Gold Pieces. Fill your bellies with food from across the Middle Ages. Find the licensed taverns to enjoy medieval brews. Browse rows of markets to adorn yourselves with various medieval crafts and weaponry. All of our exciting markets will be easy to find with a two page spread in the festival program – read on to get to know what to expect from the Medieval Marketplace.
The Medieval Marketplace will be brimming with foods from the Middle Ages of Western Europe and the Near East. Imagine the scent of hot baking bread, sizzling whole pig on the spit, lamb shanks, venison, beef, chicken legs and fire grilled sausages. Now, think about a bouquet of spiced vegetables and stews cooked over a hot wood fire. Flavours that have been enjoyed for centuries all come to life at the Abbey. Foods that make the cool Abbey days warm. Taste the sweet delights that have been made with ancient recipes, all perfect for a weekend of medieval faire fun. There are options available for all diets – vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and those with a nagging sweet tooth. No need to pack a lunch, feast at the festival!
The famous Stag Inn and Friars Folly Tavern will be helping us all to celebrate in fine medieval style. The Stag Inn, found in the main market area, will be serving their renowned array of hot pies, platters and toasted mulled wine, medieval ciders and cordials in a rustic straw laden encampment, complete with fire and wooden tables. At the Jousting end of the festival you'll find Friars Folly Tavern, positioned right next door to the musical entertainment, Friars Folly is a prime location for merriness and tasting of premium recipes of herbed beer, and it is only a stone's throw from the Jousting Arena!
The choice of Craft and Weaponry found at the festival makes holding on to Gold Pieces even more difficult than the smell of fresh food. Be prepared to find quality medieval items ranging from superior clothing, home decor, swords, axes, helms, games, jewellery, museum souvenirs and artwork from specialist merchants with the tricks of the trade.
With all of this in mind, be sure to pick up a program at the gates. All of the stalls will be numbered on an easy to use map. The food, craft and licensed areas will be named and numbered, and speciality stalls with vegan, gluten free and vegetarian options highlighted for ease of enjoyment at the festival. We are looking forward to showcasing the finest medieval merchants at the 2014 Abbey Medieval Festival. Help us celebrate the Middle Ages in all of its glory.
