Q: Getting ECMAScript Client OM Intellisense to work in ASCX/JS I can't for the life of me get intellisense working for the Client OM. It seems to work on another box I have tried so I'm wondering if I have found some kind of bug/configuration issue.
I have tried all the methods in the official MSDN post and COB's post with no luck. Visual Studio indicates it is 'Updating JScript Intellisense' but it just doesn't work. I have tried this in a Visual Web Part, Application Page and js file.
My environment is as follows -

*

*VS2010 SP1

*VS2011 Ultimate Beta

*Resharper

I also have the CKSDev tools installed, CAML.net intellisense and a few other extensions.
I'm wondering if its something to do with me having VS2011 installed. Has anyone else had similar issues? I would really like to get ECMAScript intellisense working as it would be massively handy!
Cheers
Alex

A: There could be two issues other than the Re sharper, this has happened with my Dev team as well.
We implemented the following two solutions
Missing Intellisense and Document for VS 2010
Intellisense for ECMA Scripting in VS 2010
Hope this will help you work with the Resharper as well.
Regards,
HammerGuy

A: Figured it out guys - it's caused by Resharper. Once I turned off the option to use Resharper's intellisense over VS's it started working :-)

Next Article Win Two Tickets to A Taste of Talent
RANDOLPH, NJ – The County College of Morris (CCM) Art and Design Gallery's next exhibition, "Let the Sun Play Possum," will feature the thesis work of seven photography technology students who will be graduating in May.
View the Exhibition from April 16 through 26
The upcoming installation runs from April 16 to April 26 in the CCM Art and Design Gallery in the Sherman H. Masten Learning Resource Center, 214 Center Grove Road, Randolph. A reception, which is free and open to the public, will be held Friday, April 26, from 5 to 7 p.m. The CCM Art and Design Gallery is open Mondays through Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All of the work being displayed in the exhibition was created by students in Professor Hrvoje Slovenc's Portfolio Preparation course. Since February, the students have been working on various pieces to showcase the photographic skills they acquired during their course of study in the Photography Technology Program. The students each developed a unique concentration that is visible in every photo.
Melissa Efrus, of Springfield, in her work weaves the prophetic and poetic, juxtaposed against erotic themes. She combines a mix of analog, digital and multimedia work, ranging from image manipulation, Polaroids, historical techniques, textiles, text and drawings.
Jessica Schaub, of Wharton, redefines the meaning of the word "home" in her work. For the "Photography Technology Program Thesis" exhibition, Schaub recreated parts of the house in which she grew up.
The artwork from Kahli Suggs-Barnes, of Succasunna, focuses on a distorted, incomplete sense of self. Through a series of manipulated self-portraits, using collages, weaves and patterns, Kahli explores detachment toward one's own identity.
Brian Cole, of Netcong, is interested in the complex, emotional profile of young people born and raised in the era of social media. He wonders whether loneliness, depression, anxiety and a lack of social skills are the result of experiencing the world primarily through a phone or a computer screen.
Inspired by her father's work as an architect, Alicia Stone, of Hackettstown, creates and photographs dioramas of idealized domestic spaces. In her photographs, everything is in order, and everything is where it is supposed to be. Her portrayed interiors exist in the space between fantasy and reality.
Jeremy Guevara, of Dover, is interested in the failure of the idea of the American dream, and the cultural norms adopted by the generation before his own. More specifically, his black and white photographs offer a critique of a lifestyle defined by a 9 to 5 blue-collar job.
The staged wedding photographs taken by Stacy Moen, of Oak Ridge, aim to capture defining moments during a wedding day. In her words, a wedding is a journey that begins with two people intertwining their separate lives into a committed lifetime together.

(The Sports Xchange) - Ray Allen, a 10-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion, officially announced his retirement after 18 seasons on Tuesday.
Allen last played in the 2013-14 season and has been tied to rumors of a potential return ever since. On Tuesday, he wrote a letter for The Players' Tribune saying he is walking away for good.
"I write this to you today as a 41-year-old man who is retiring from the game," Allen wrote. "I write to you as a man who is completely at peace with himself."
A likely first-ballot Hall of Famer, Allen had career averages of 18.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 1,300 games.
He departs as the NBA's all-time leader in 3-pointers made (2,973), and established himself as one of the greatest 3-point and free-throw shooters, boasting career marks of 40 and 89.4 percent respectively.
Originally a No. 5 overall pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 1996 draft, Allen was immediately traded along with Andrew Lang to the Milwaukee Bucks for the rights to draft Stephon Marbury.
Allen spent his first 6 1/2 seasons with the Bucks, earning a spot on the NBA All-Rookie Second Team in 1996.
On Feb. 20, 2003, Allen was traded along with Ronald Murray, Kevin Ollie and a first-round draft pick to the Seattle Super Sonics for Gary Payton and Desmond Mason.
He spent 4 1/2 years in Seattle before the trade that transformed his already stellar legacy to a championship one.
Allen was acquired by the Boston Celtics along with Glen Davis for Jeff Green, Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West and a second-round pick in a draft-night deal on June 28, 2007.
That trade laid the groundwork for Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge to acquire Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves to pair with longtime Boston stars Paul Pierce and Allen.
In their first season together, Allen, Garnett and Pierce ended the Celtics' 22-year championship drought -- and Allen took home his first ring.
After five years in Boston, Allen spurned the Celtics in free agency to join the rival Miami Heat, where he would team with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to win another championship in 2013.
During a hard-fought, seven-game NBA Finals series with the San Antonio Spurs, Allen made a critical last-second 3-pointer in Game 6 to keep the Heat alive and ultimately lead them to a title.
Allen and the Heat returned to the Finals the next season, only to lose to the Spurs.
Off the court, Allen earned a place in pop-culture lore for his role as "Jesus Shuttlesworth" in the Spike Lee-directed film "He Got Game," released in 1998.

Q: Using Unicode inside R's expression() command I'm using expression() in R plots in order to get italicized text. But it appears as if I cannot use Unicode symbols inside expression outside of ASCII characters. Is there some way I can work around this? My goal is to get the fi ligature in various labels in my R barplots (together with italicized text).
I'm using R for Windows version 3.0.2.
CairoPDF(file = "Ligature1.pdf")
plot.new()
text(x =.5, y = .5, labels = "fi", family = "Times New Roman")
dev.off()

CairoPDF(file = "Ligature2.pdf")
plot.new()
text(x =.5, y = .5, labels = expression(paste(italic(m), "u", "fi", italic(m), sep = "")), family = "Times New Roman")
dev.off()

A: You asked for a work-around.  That is all this is.   The italic part needs expression, but the "fi" part does not,  so print them separately.
plot.new()
offset1 = strwidth(expression(paste(italic(m), "u")), units="figure")
text(x =.5, y = .5, labels = expression(paste(italic(m), "u", sep="")))
text(x =.5+offset1, y = .5, labels ="fi")
offset2 = strwidth("fi ")
text(x =.5+offset1+offset2, y = .5, labels = expression(italic(m)))

But notice that something is not quite right about the spacing of the "fi", so when I computed the width on the screen, I cheated and computed the width of "fi "  (with an extra blank).  Without the extra spacing,  the second italic(m) overlapped the "fi".
Not pretty, but it produces the desired result under Windows.

A portable, remotely-controlled inspection crawler for use along the walls of tanks, vessels, piping and the like. The crawler can be configured to use a vacuum chamber for supporting itself on the inspected surface by suction or a plurality of magnetic wheels for moving the crawler along the inspected surface. The crawler is adapted to be equipped with an ultrasonic probe for mapping the structural integrity or other characteristics of the surface being inspected. Navigation of the crawler is achieved by triangulation techniques between a signal transmitter on the crawler and a pair of microphones attached to a fixed, remote location, such as the crawler's deployment unit. The necessary communications are established between the crawler and computers external to the inspection environment for position control and storage and/or monitoring of data acquisition.

17. The apparatus as recited in claim 10, wherein said vessel walls are made of ferromagnetic material and said moving means further comprises a plurality of wheels made of a magnetic material to assist said holding means in holding said apparatus to said vessel walls.
The present invention relates to inspecting walls of tanks, vessels and the like. More particularly, the present invention relates to an inspection vehicle, for use with a deployment unit, that moves along and inspects vessel walls. The United States Government has rights in this invention pursuant to Contract No. DE-AC09-89SR18035 between the U.S. Department of Energy and Westinghouse Savannah River Company.
The use of probes for inspecting pipelines, tanks, vessel surfaces and the like is well known in the art. Many U.S. patents disclose pipe crawlers and other similar vehicles used to inspect piping surfaces or vessel and tank walls. Inspection devices mounted on these vehicles include ultrasonic probes and eddy current probes that collect inspection information for later analysis or relay such information periodically to a unit located outside of the vessel or pipeline being inspected.
For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,025,215, Pirl describes a helically-driven device having a combination eddy current and ultrasonic testing probe attached thereto. The device features a head assembly that is fixable to the surface of the tubing by a pressure bladder, which is supplied fluid by a conduit system. The head assembly is connected to a drive motor located on an external drive frame assembly by a coaxial conduit.
Metala et al, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,856,337, discloses an inspecting apparatus in the form of a cylindrical housing assembly insertable within a tube or piping. A probe carrier, holding an eddy current probe and a plurality of ultrasonic probes, is rotatably mountable within the housing assembly and helically movable with respect to the housing.
An apparatus for traveling through piping is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,770,105, issued to Takagi et al. The apparatus features a plurality of continuous treads that are spring-biased to keep the apparatus in contact with the inner wall of the piping being inspected. The treads are driven by motors operating through transmission gearing.
Other related devices include Fluornoy (U.S. Pat. No. 4,418,574) and Beaver et al (U.S. Pat. No. 3,949,292). Fluornoy discloses a method and device for measuring wall thickness using a magnetic reluctance coil. Beaver et al disclose a pivoting inspection structure that is urged against the interior wall of piping by spring-loaded vanes.
Still another related device is the vessel examination system disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,988,922 by Clark et al. The system features a remotely-controlled, instrument-carrying vehicle with motor-driven magnetic wheels to propel the vehicle along the interior surface of the vessel being inspected. For remote location determination, the vehicle uses an ultrasonic signal system employing a triangulation technique.
Despite the abundance of probe-carrying devices for piping, vessel walls and the like, it is believed that no inspection device provides continuous location and mapping capabilities and has sufficient holding power against the wall being inspected, yet is small enough to pass through piping having a diameter less than approximately 8 inches. Furthermore, it is believed that no existing inspection devices can be maneuvered sufficiently through limited-access vessels, such as underground piping or tanks.
According to its major aspects and broadly stated, the present invention is a vehicle for inspecting vessel surfaces. In particular, it is a remotely-controlled inspection crawler for use on the walls of tanks, vessels, piping and the like. The crawler can be configured to use a vacuum chamber for supporting itself on the inspected surface by suction or a plurality of magnetic wheels. The crawler carries an ultrasonic probe for mapping the structural integrity of the surface being inspected. Navigation of the crawler is achieved by triangulation between a signal transmitter on the crawler and a pair of microphones spaced apart and attached to a fixed, remote deployment unit. Communication is established between the crawler and computers external to the inspection environment for position control and monitoring data acquisition.
A major feature of the present invention is the use of vacuum pressure to hold the inspection crawler against the wall of the piping or vessel being inspected. The inspection crawler is enclosed within and connected to a vacuum chamber that causes the wheels of the crawler to maintain contact with the wall. The vacuum chamber uses a brush seal around its peripheral edge to maintain the vacuum seal with the vessel wall. The advantage of this feature is that the inspection crawler maintains contact with the vessel surface as it moves along the entire area of the surface, including vertical surfaces areas and horizontal, overhead surface areas.
Another feature of the present invention is the relatively small size of the inspection crawler, including all of its featured equipment. This feature allows the crawler to be inserted through 8" diameter access ports of tanks to inspect characteristics such as structural integrity and weld soundness. Also, it allows the inspection crawler to inspect areas where access is limited, such as underground vessels, piping and the like and hazardous areas in which larger crawlers cannot go and where human operators would be at risk.
Still another feature is the navigation system used by the inspection crawler. For the present invention, a three-point arrangement exists between the inspection crawler and the two antennae of the deployment unit that, through triangulation, can be used for identifying the location of the inspection crawler along the vessel surface. The arrangement provides continuous location information to a remotely located computer control system that, in turn, transmits movement control information to a plurality of position motors, mounted on the inspection crawler, for directing the movement of the crawler's wheels. This feature provides continuous information about the position of the inspection crawler on the surface area being inspected, thus allowing an entire surface area to be inspected systematically and a map of the structural features of the entire surface area to be generated.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the crawler of FIG. 1 shown in use along a tank wall.
In the following description, similar components are referred to by the same reference numeral in order to simplify the understanding of the sequential aspect of the drawings and the symmetric nature of the device.
Referring now to FIG. 1, the inspection crawler 20 in its preferred embodiment is a pair of drive modules 22 (only one shown in FIG. 1) spaced apart and connected to a generally horizontal mounting plate 24. A rectangular vacuum chamber 26 covers both drive modules 22 and mounting plate 24. Each drive module 22 has a plurality of wheels 28 rotatably mounted therein, preferably two wheels aligned and positioned so that their respective axes of rotation are parallel with respect to each other. Vacuum chamber 26 is attached to mounting plate 24 and dimensioned so that vacuum to chamber 26 just covers drive modules 22 with minimal spacing around mounting plate 24 and drive modules 22.
Approximately midway between drive modules 22, an inspection probe 32 extends below mounting plate 24 and connects to mounting plate 24 via a horizontal mounting arm 34 connected to mounting plate 24 and a vertically extending arm 36. Thus, inspection probe 32, as mounted, is held just above the vessel surface being inspected. Mounting plate 24, which is preferably made of aluminum but can be made from any suitable material, is adapted for carrying other equipment in addition to inspection probe 32, such as inspection cameras.
Horizontal mounting arm 34 attaches to the top of mounting plate 24 and extends slightly in front of mounting plate 24, that is, closer toward a front side 42 of crawler 20 than a rear side 44 of crawler 20, "front" being defined as the lead side of crawler 20 when proceeding in the usual direction of travel. In this manner, vertical extending arm 36 positions inspection probe 32 toward front side 42 of crawler 20.
Vacuum chamber 26 preferably has a peripheral edge 46 that contacts the surface of the vessel being inspected. Peripheral edge 46 has a brush seal 48, which is a movable seal that restricts air flow between peripheral edge 46 and the vessel surface so that crawler 20 can hold a sufficient vacuum seal to support itself by suction to the vessel surface while moving. In this manner, brush seal 48 allows vacuum chamber 26, and thus crawler 20, to maintain constant contact with the vessel surface, even when wheels 28 rotate to move crawler 20 along the vessel surface.
As shown in FIGS. 2, 3a and 3b, each drive module 22 includes preferably a pair of rotatably mounted wheels 28. Wheels 28 can be made of any suitable material, but are preferably a lightweight material, such as polyurethane, when used in vessels having non-ferromagnetic walls. Alteratively, when crawler 20 is used in vessels having ferromagnetic walls, wheels 28 are made from a high energy magnetic material to assisting crawler 20 in supporting itself magnetically the vessel walls.
Also, each drive module 22 houses a gear train 52 for driving wheels 28. Each gear train 52 preferably comprises a plurality of gears 54 corresponding to and in rotational connection with wheels 28 through a common axle 56 connected therebetween. Gear trains 52 are in rotatable connection with gears 54 through an interlocking mesh of teeth radially displaced on both gear train 52 and gears 54.
Each gear train 52 is controlled by and operationally connected to a positioning motor 58 mounted on the inner wall of drive module 22. Each positioning motor 58 is controlled by electrically conducting wiring 62 (discussed below in further detail) connected thereto and attached along the underside of mounting plate 24.
Vacuum chamber 26 is dimensioned slightly longer than mounting plate 24, slightly deeper than drive modules 22 and slightly taller than mounting plate 24 mounted on drive modules 22 so that, when mounted properly, vacuum chamber 26 just covers mounting plate 24 and drive modules 22, as shown best in FIG. 3a. A plurality of vertical mounts 64 connects vacuum chamber 26 to the top of mounting plate 24 so that vacuum chamber 26 is raised slightly off of mounting plate 24.
Electrically conductive wiring 62 is mounted to the underside of mounting plate 24 and establishes electrical connection with positioning motors 58 for controlling the operation of positioning motors 58. Wiring 62 runs from positioning motors 58 along the underside of mounting plate 24 and through a sealed opening 66 (best seen in FIGS. 2, 3b) formed in rear side 44 of vacuum chamber 26. Also, a second set of electrically conducting wiring 68 establishes electrical connection with inspection probe 32 for transmitting data produced by inspection probe 32. Preferably, second wiring 68 runs from inspection probe 32 along vertical extending arm 36 to the underside of mounting plate 24 and through sealed opening 66.
Positioning motors 58 control the rotation of each of gear trains 52 independently so that wheels 28 can be rotated accordingly to steer crawler 20 efficiently. That is, by rotating one of gear trains 52 slightly more than the other of gear trains 52, wheels 28 can be rotated in a manner that changes the direction crawler 20 is moving, much like the steering of any tracked vehicle.
Referring to FIG. 4, wiring 62 and second wiring 68 from crawler 20 runs through sealed opening 66 preferably to a computer control system 72. Preferably, computer control system 72 is located external to a vessel 74 having a surface or wall 76 being inspected by crawler 20. Preferably, a deployment unit 78 attaches to vessel 74 and assists in routing wiring 62, 68 from sealed opening 66 of crawler 20 to computer control system 72.
Preferably, computer control system 72 is programmed to identify continuously the location of crawler 20 along wall 76 of vessel 74 based on information received from crawler 20. Also, computer control system 72 is equipped with a feedback system that, through the identification of the location of crawler 20 along wall 76 of vessel 74, controls the operation of positioning motors 58 so that crawler 20 can be steered and moved in the desired direction.
The location of crawler 20 along wall 76 of vessel 74 is identified preferably by triangulation. In this manner, crawler 20 preferably has means for emitting a continuous signal that is detected preferably by a pair of microphones attached at two spaced-apart locations, for example, at opposite ends of deployment unit 78 or at two known locations on wall 76 of vessel 74. A triangle is defined by crawler 20 and each of the two microphones.
The distance of crawler 20 from each of the two microphones can be determined based on the time required for each of the two microphones to receive a signal emitted from crawler 20. Using these two distances and the known distance between the two microphones, a triangle is defined with the length of all three sides known. By knowing the fixed locations of the two microphones, the location of crawler 20 along wall 76 of vessel 74 can be determined from the basic geometric relationships between crawler 20 and the two microphones. It is understood that variations of triangulation, as well as other location identification methods, can be substituted for the preferred location method, as just described, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In use, crawler 20 in positioned in close proximity to wall 76 of vessel 74, for example, by deployment unit 78 or other appropriate means. Brush seal 48 created by peripheral edge 46 keeps wheels 28 of crawler 20 in contact with wall 76. Also, crawler 20 is maintained against walls 76 by wheels 28 because walls 76 will then be made of a ferromagnetic material and wheels 28 are made of a magnetic material, as discussed above. Thus, crawler 20 can travel along walls 76 of vessel 74 without regard to the orientation of walls 76, including walls that are generally vertical and walls that require crawler 20 to be inverted.
Positioning motors 58 operate gear trains 52 per instructions from computer control system 72 through wiring 62. Accordingly, gears 54 rotate wheels 28 in the manner previously described so that crawler 20 travels across wall 76 of vessel 74 in the desired direction and with the desired motion.
Despite the vacuum seal created by brush seal 48 between crawler 20 and wall 76 of vessel 74, the coefficient of friction of wall 76 with respect to brush seal 48 is preferably lower than the coefficient of friction of wall 76 with respect to wheels 28. Thus, wheels 28 have sufficient traction so that the rotation of wheels 28 overcomes the drag of brush seal 48 and moves crawler 20 along wall 76 of vessel 74 even though peripheral edge 46 maintains contact with wall 76 of vessel 74.
During the movement of crawler 20 across wall 76 of vessel 74, inspection probe 32 measures characteristics, preferably the thickness of wall 76 and the soundness of welds on wall 76, of the portion of wall 76 passing immediately beneath inspection probe 32. The information produced and recorded by inspection probe 32 is sent to computer control system 72 via second wiring 68. Preferably, inspection probe 32 provides continuous information to computer control system 72 via second wiring 68. In this manner, crawler 20 can be systematically maneuvered across wall 76 of vessel 74 so that the measured characteristics form a complete map of vessel 74.

General care: Use only a clean towel dampened with cool water when cleaning hand grips. Confirm that grips are dry before using. NEVER use ammonia-based cleaning solutions or soap on hand grips, which may cause them to loosen or crack.
Caution: Make sure all replacement parts are properly attached and secure before using. Replace when damaged, cracked, or worn.


Thanks to Instagram, I am now documenting everything down to the last insignificant moment of my day. I baked muffins? Photo! New shoes? Photo! Cute kitty pose? Photo! Project in the house? Photo! Spinning yarn? Photo! It may get a little dull sometimes, but the up side is that when I am in the midst of a knitting project, there are many more process shots.
I finally finished the Age of Brass & Steam Kerchief using approximately 250 yards of handspun Shetland wool and size 8 needles. For each section I used a different color of yarn. The pattern was so easy and quick. Although my measurements didn't come out quite as the pattern suggested, it's much wider than any other shawl/kerchief I've made. I didn't make any adjustments, just followed the instructions as is.
Today seemed like a good day to do a bit of spring cleaning, which basically consisted of "washing" all the windows. I put the blinds up on the front window, something I haven't done for months, looked out, and saw a bird's nest on top of the pillar under the porch roof. It surprised me! It shouldn't have though, since I hear birds out there all the time. The best part is that they used some of the wool I stuck in the bushes. I left it there for them, so I'm glad they put it to use.
Happy first day of October everyone! Is it really here already?
On Saturday Ross Alpaca Ranch had an open house for the National Alpaca Farm Days. I spent the day spinning and talking to the visitors. I got pictures of my sample table, but when I went out to get pictures of the animals, my camera died. Immediately. So I have nothing else to show. No photos of the angora goats, the ducks, the alpacas, or the llamas. Nothing.
Today I picked up three bushel baskets from Hobby Lobby. In the spirit of going "natural", I will soon be offering undyed locks to go along with the undyed yarn. I decided that instead of bagging it for you, I'll put the whole fleece in a big basket and you can buy as much of it as you want. For $2/ounce. I tossed this Romney lamb fleece in one basket to see how it worked. Seems to work fine, wouldn't you say?
And this time it's super bulky.
Three monster skeins totaling about 26 ounces.
It's kind of funny when I think about how many things I use and make but do not sell. For instance, undyed yarn and fiber. I love spinning the natural colors and I use the yarn quite regularly. In fact, many of my mittens consist of a dyed yarn combined with a natural colored yarn, so I've got lots of it around. However, I never thought that anyone else might want it. I've only sold brightly colored yarns, but maybe someone out there might really love a chocolate brown or a silver grey. Why not? I've literally got bags of the stuff waiting to be spun. And it would be one less step for me, not having to dye it.
I think I will start with these two skeins I found in my personal stash. The one in the upper left corner is new from this summer. It's a Romney/Coopworth X singles. In the lower right corner is a 2-ply BFL/Border Leicester X with silk noils. That one has been hanging around since 2007. Maybe it's time to find it a new home.

Jim Cooney announces new sponsor, Willow, Australian tech company for 2020 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and 2021 season
PRESS RELEASE | Sydney, Australia, December 17, 2020
Following his 2019 line-honours victory in Comanche, Jim Cooney returns for the 76th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race to skipper a familiar boat with a new name.
Cooney has renamed his Volvo 70, previously known as Maserati to "Willow", after the Australian Technology Company of which he became a Board Member in 2019.
Cooney purchased the yacht in 2016, from legendary sailor Italian Giovani Soldini and finished sixth on line and seventh overall in the 2016 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Cooney then owned Comanche for three years, taking line honours and setting the race record in 2017 then placing 3rd in 2018. Cooney now resumes command, along with Cooney family members Samantha, James and Douglas who will race south for the first time. The crew also includes a star cast including Kiwis Stu Bannatyne and Daryl Wislang and ex-Australian Ironman Ky Hurst.
"I am super excited to be back on the Volvo 70 this year, it's a great boat in all conditions" said the Sydney Yachtsman Cooney. "The change of name represents a refreshed and dynamic approach and we have worked hard on improvements to the boat in the off season. With Willow taking on the two supermaxis this year, we are really focussed on extracting the best out of the boat and fighting for the win."

Hopp Schwiiz! Hey all, great match from Roger today which was what I expected after struggling just a little in the first round against Falla. Today was a totally different story and Roger came up with the goods breezing through 6-2 6-2, a peRFect prediction by yours truly.
The only real sniff that Benneteau got today was in Rogers opening service game, where two errors saw Roger slip to 0-30 and then the Frenchman made deuce. After that it was plain sailing, Roger broke easily in the next game and was able to cruise through the first set, breaking again at 5-2 to take the set 6-2.
After Roger held his opening service game from 0-30 you kinda just knew he was going to have a good day at the office, his serve was finding spots early and unlike when he met Benneteau at Wimbledon it was Fed who dominated the rallies and early exchanges. Roger was also very solid on serve, dropping only 5 points on it after the deuce of the first game.
Securing a double break to take the first set worked out peRFectly here because it meant Roger was serving first at the start of the second. Roger is one of the best, if not the best, front runners in the game. With Benneteau down a set and having to keep serving to level up proceedings it meant there was far more pressure on his own serve (that he'd already lost twice in the first set).
At 2-1 Roger moved up a gear and broke again before holding and then breaking yet again at 5-2 to take the match. Roger only conceeded 5 points on serve again and hit 24 winners to 7 unforced errors throughout the match, very decent stats.
Today was a very impressive performance from Fed and really you have to call it a clinic. I figured it would be after the 5 setter at Wimbledon because it's pretty rare that Roger struggles against a player twice on the bounce.
There was also a mental advantage from Fed's side of the net because he really took Benneteau's legs away at Wimbledon and outlasted him despite at one stage been 1 game away from losing.
Today I was particularly impressed with Roger's movement, he was able to hit the inside out forehand very well all day and this coupled with precision serving was probably the key to the match.
At Wimbledon against Benneteau he didn't hit that shot well early on, but when it's on, like today, the majority of points are played on Roger's terms. When he is able to dictate with his forehand, he only really has to play half the court, whereas Benneteau has to cover all of it. It's almost impossible for Benneteau to hit a backhand down the line because it's such a low percentage shot, if he falls short or doesn't get close to the line, he leaves the cross court wide open for Roger to find a winner. Because of that he's forced to hit cross court, where Roger runs round his backhand and eventually pushes his opponent deeper behind the baseline, allowing him to either a.) draw the error, b.) coast in and find a volley winner, c.) try the dropper, d.) hit inside in down the line or e.) hit an extreme angle inside out forehand winner. It's really such a dominating play that gives Roger many many options and as you can see from the scoreline it's very tricky to find an answer to or combat it with any great deal of effectiveness. You have to be a left handed moonballer or hope Rogers forehand is AWOL, both of which are rare!
To be honest I've not seen a whole lot of Istomin before, he's only ever played Fed twice (losing both times) and doesn't have a great record on the tour with no titles but he did reach his career high ranking of #34 this year.
I do however think he's a fairly accomplished grass court player, Wimbledon is his best result at Slam level and he took Berdych to 5 sets on the grass in 2010. He made the 4th round this year and would have played Roger in the quarter finals had he not lost to Mikhail Youzhny.
I think this match might be trickier than the Benneteau one but I think Roger will get the job done. I kinda think he could drop a set but that's a slim chance to I'll go for a 7-6 6-4 victory.
The solid win that Fed needed after the Falla match. I think he'll swiftly take out Istomin.
Yeah cruising today was always gonna happen after Falla match, will have got confidence from that for sure. I've not seen much of Istomin, clearly capable though so could be close in parts.
He's a good player, but I think on grass, it will be a lot like how Federer plays Roddick – block back the big serve and outmaneuver him from the back of the court.
Doesn't like has too much power from the highlights I've seen. If Fed serves well then 1 break per set will be enough.
If they get to the final I might blog about it, but I don't have a big interest in doubles really… it's just like a light practise session I always find.
Haha I wonder what odds it would have been!
I remember almost having a heart attack when I was following live scores on my mobile. I had to manually refresh the page to see the updated scores and when the score was 30-30 on Roger's service game (to stay in the match), I did not want to press the refresh button in the possibility of seeing match point for Benneteau!
Roger likes to torture his fans, fact!
Does that include the breaker? I remember 15-30 at 5-6 I think, and I think 30-30 at 4-5.
I want Roger to win and I think he will, but Olympics isn't a big deal to me and to be honest I don't think it's huge for the players. It's just a nice tournament to win.
Isner could be a bigger problem in the QF. Thoughts?
Not sure really, he's just a serve. We saw today when Clownga beat Raonbitch that you need more than just a serve.
If Fed hits forehand well and is aggresive on Isner 2nd serve should see him off.
Yes it was a peRFect prediction. I have not been able to see any of his games at the Olympics. I was traveling on Saturday and got up at 5:45 am on Monday and Roddick was playing his match.i was expecting Fed to play. So not knowing the exact time between 7-3 EDT is hard and there are no repeats on The Tennis Channel. They should be allowed to do that. I do hope he plays early tomorrow so I can see at least one game.
Heyy!!! It's been a while since you posted!
I think that Federer will go past Istomin with ease, but the next match will be slightly tougher, because Roger's opponent will either be Tipsarevic or Isner.
Mississippi. I did see it today on Bravo. I watched the first part until it started raining. Thanks though. I think it was around 8:00 CDT. I hope that he will play earlier tomorrow. I hope he starts off better tomorrow if not Isner will pull another Swiss game. He has got to get the Gold now.
Ah right cool. He started late today so I guess you missed it. He's first on tomorrow though 12 GMT against Del Po so hope you can watch.


Expect price rises. The UK telecoms regulator has today unveiled its chosen proposal for a new Automatic Compensation System, which will require fixed line phone and broadband ISPs to give either a cash payment or bill credit to consumers when they suffer a total loss of service.
At present providers are not required to compensate consumers for service faults, although some will occasionally credit a small amount for such problems and others may only pay out following a long complaint. Meanwhile those taking a proper (more expensive) business service are usually covered via a Service Level Agreement (SLA), which often includes a compensation clause.
The Government and Ofcom now believe that all consumers should benefit from an automatic right to compensation, which is an idea that was first tabled earlier this year as part of Ofcom's Strategic Review and has since been implemented into the Government's new Digital Economy Bill 2016-17. Ofcom believes this system will offer "incentives for providers to improve service quality".
Under the new system Ofcom proposes that customers, specifically residential consumers and around a third of small and medium sized enterprises (businesses) who buy domestic fixed line broadband services, would be entitled to automatic compensation, without having to go through a potentially lengthy and difficult claims process.
Ofcom says that its system would only be applied to faults that lend themselves to being "objectively defined and measured" and which have not been caused by consumers themselves (e.g. you wouldn't be compensated if you damage your home wiring or aren't at home when the engineer arrives), which is easier to say than deliver.
Additionally the regulator states that SMEs who buy business products should be provided with greater clarity on the quality of service they are entitled to under their contracts and whether they can claim compensation when problems occur. This proposal reflects that SMEs can negotiate bespoke terms and there are already standard business contracts currently on offer that provide compensation for a number of different issues (Service Level Agreements), which are not available for residential consumers.
The compensation payments would be set by Ofcom and designed to reflect the degree of harm suffered by consumers, although we suspect that some ISPs might spit their teeth out at the thought of having to pay £10 for each day (after the first two days) that the service is not repaired. Quite a lot of money, considering how much people pay for broadband and phone services on a monthly basis.
On the other hand most major outages tend to be resolved within two full working days and this should make the change easier for ISPs to handle. Ofcom will also be pushing Openreach to meet even tougher service performance and quality standards in the future, which may further reduce the number of incidents that might attract compensation.
Just to put this in some perspective. Ofcom estimates that there are 5.7 million cases of consumers experiencing a loss of their landline or broadband service every year and engineers also failed to turn up for around 250,000 appointments. Similarly around 1 in 8 landline and broadband installations were delayed (12%), affecting more than 1.3 million people.
For example, it's not the provider's fault if your broadband fails due to a problem in your third-party router / bad setup, but end-users often won't recognise that the fault is with them and sometimes even Openreach can have trouble identifying faults in their own network.
Even ISPs that support the measure, such as Zen Internet (here), suggest that some external network issues like street cabinet vandalism or flooding "are clearly beyond our control" (i.e. Openreach's responsibility), although the impact upon the end user would still be a loss of service and is thus likely to attract compensation.
On the above point many ISPs that depend upon a core wholesale supplier (e.g. Openreach) have warned that it might not be fair if ISPs are forced to shoulder the entire financial burden, especially for faults caused by their supplier. But others would say that this is a contractual matter between the ISP and its suppliers to resolve (easy to say, difficult to fix).
Otherwise the regulator has proposed an implementation period of 12 months between the date of their final statement and the introduction of automatic compensation. This will give ISPs and wholesale suppliers time for a six month OTA2-led industry negotiation process and a four month dispute resolution process, should both of these prove necessary.
Meanwhile the new system will not apply to Mobile Network Operators (MNO). Ofcom found that connectivity issues with mobile operators were naturally very complex to assess (coverage is tricky, especially indoors) and that only less than 1% of people were likely to lose their service for more than 24 hours. On top of that mobile operators were also found to give better compensation than fixed line providers.
Apparently BT, Sky Broadband and Virgin Media had also jointly proposed their own voluntary approach to automatic compensation for service failures, although Ofcom rejected it. "At this stage, we do not think that the industry proposal sufficiently meets our concerns when quality of service falls short," said the regulator.
Ofcom will now consult with the industry until 5th June 2017 and they hope to publish a final statement by the end of 2017.
The UK Internet Service Providers Association has given their reaction.
"Customer service is a priority for ISPA members, borne out by Ofcom's own research that shows the overwhelming majority of consumers are satisfied with their communications services. ISPA's own consumer complaint data shows a huge fall in numbers over a ten-year period which demonstrates that ISPs are continually improving their complaint handling.
We understand that on occasion service standards may fall short of what is expected and so ISPA is supportive of a strong and fair consumer protection regime.
Once again Ofcom introducing nore bureaucratic regulations in order to justify its existence.
Sounds like I will be paying a higher bill so ISPs can compensate those few that are constantly having problems. Shouldn't compensation be limited to the amount someone pays per day for their service? That way the compensation reflects the importance a person places on their broadband connectivity which is indicated by how they much they are willing to spend on it.
I agree with payments for missed appointments as a lot of people will be sacrificing a days holiday to wait in, this compensation should be high enough to ensure the likes of BT Openreach make the vast majority of them. If it isn't very much it just means it is cheaper to cancel appointments and pay the compensation, rather than pay overtime or allocate extra time for staff to get to their appointments on time.
The idea is that you pay higher bills to make sure those few get their problems fixed rather than leaving them in the lurch. The tiny compensation means nothing to me when it means I can't work from home – I just want a working service. I have epilepsy and can't drive to out the office.
@Chris – So why not buy a service that has a suitable SLA?
If you buy a residential service with no SLA and Openreach fail to turn up to a allocate appointment why should the ISP pay. Openreach should but existing contracts they sign with ISPs won't cover the compensation scheme and they're hardly likely to want to adjust contract mid-term. Network providers, ISP's and resellers all need to be covered by this but fairly, something I doubt Ofcom can manage to sort.
Existing contracts between ISPs and Openreach do cover the compensation scheme. ISPs already get the same or more than is being offered in this proposal.
The only difference is the matter of force majeure, where Openreach do not compensate ISPs for matters beyond their reasonable control (extreme weather, criminal damage etc).
Our biggest fear with this, is we often get customers who sit on faults for a couple of days, or more, before reporting a problem to us, such as a total loss of phone services. There has to be clear point as to when the clock starts.
I haven't read through this report in detail, but I think it would be mad for the clock to start before ISPs have even been notified by end users.
There are some ISPs who sit on faults before raising them with BT Wholesale/Openreach. This adds unnecessary delays, particularly when you have fault finding tools available that can be used in an instant.

Johnson Puts Quarantine on Greek Islands in Strategy Shift
By: Noble HorvathPosted on September 19, 2020
(Bloomberg) — Boris Johnson's government imposed a 14-day quarantine for travelers arriving from seven Greek islands in a shift to its coronavirus strategy, as domestic cases of the disease continued to rise.
Pedestrians walk along a street in Fira village on the island of Santorini, Greece, on Saturday, June 13, 2020. Greece is beginning to welcome back international visitors, with flights set to restart June 15 under varying rules based on airport of origin.
It's the first time London has taken a regional approach to quarantine rules and will be a blow to the islands, which are popular destinations for British holidaymakers. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announced the measure amid mounting concern in Johnson's administration after 2,948 further virus cases were reported Monday, on top of 2,988 on Sunday, in highs not seen since May.
"Our top priority has always been to keep domestic infection rates down," Shapps said in an e-mailed statement. "Through the use of enhanced data we will now be able to pinpoint risk in some of the most popular islands, providing increased flexibility to add or remove them — distinct from the mainland — as infection rates change."
Shapps said Britain's testing regime is being stretched as he rejected calls for travelers to be tested at airports in order to avoid the need for quarantine. Johnson's government, which has been criticized over the availability of coronavirus tests throughout the pandemic, is under pressure to minimize disruption for holiday-makers and help Britain's beleaguered travel sector recover.
"Pressure on testing is very real," Shapps told the House of Commons, saying the return of students to schools and universities is increasing demand. "I'm not sure we should be prioritizing holiday-makers returning to the testing system over, for example, children going back to school. The simple solution is of course to create more testing."
Shapps did, though, say the government is looking at ways to shorten the quarantine period, suggesting that testing travelers about a week after they arrive could be an option — though he reiterated it would hinge on boosting testing capacity and further developing the government's track-and-trace program.
Travel Rules
Crete, Santorini, Lesvos, Tinos, Serifos, Mykonos and Zakynthos will be removed from the quarantine exemption list as of 4 a.m. on Wednesday, the Department for Transport said. While restrictions will be enforced for the islands, a so-called travel corridor with mainland Greece and other Greek islands will allow restriction-free travel, it said.
The measure announced Monday applies to travelers arriving in England, with devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland making their own decisions. The Greek islands join countries including Spain, France, Switzerland, Jamaica and the Czech Republic on the quarantine list.
Britain's rising cases have largely been attributed to infections of younger people and on Monday Health Secretary Matt Hancock warned of the dangers of flouting social-distancing rules.
The worry for Johnson is that a spike in cases among the young could spread to the wider population, as has been seen elsewhere in Europe. It also risks undermining the government's push to encourage people back to their workplaces after schools reopened across England last week.
Jonathan Van Tam, England's deputy chief medical officer, warned that people need to refocus on efforts to stop the spread of the virus.
"People have relaxed too much, now is the time for us to re-engage, and to realize that this a continuing threat to us," he told the BBC on Monday evening. "The fact that 17 to 21-year-olds are not becoming ill means they are lucky, but they also forget because the disease is not severe for them that they are potent spreaders."

My husband wore this fragrance 40 years ago and decided to use it again and loves it!
.I was working part time in a shoe store after school, as a senior...part of my school credit to graduate.
A sales man came into the shop and he was wearing Aramis. And as they say the rest is history. I started wearing Aramis at 17...I am now 67. Aramis has become a signature fragrance for me.
Over the years, however, it has changed. I had heard that originally it was made with real Musk Ox glands. It truly lasted all day and night, and there was a Cologne. Presently all I can find is the Eau de Toilet and it is not as lasting.
Until now I was buying it retail. The woman at the counter said they didn't stock it, but she could order it.
If that is true, could you find it? It may be more lasting than Toilet.
I have also seen "Aramis Reserve". What is that and how does it differ from the Tiolet?
I fell in love with Aramis! My husband of 50 years still wears it for me. He still gets compliments, and our three grown daughters say "that smells like dad". I stopped wearing heavy perfumes as Oscar and Opium because I enjoyed Aramis. Now, I don't wear any fragrance. Actually, I used Aramis soap on a rope for years. The fragrance is "timeless". It is the male version of Chanel--in a class of it's own!!!!

The Festivities
We met the old fashioned way: in a bar.
It was a Friday night and neither of us should have been there. I was out to dinner with a friend and, when a group of friends came to meet us, there wasn't room for us at the restaurant – so we went next door to a dirty, dive karaoke bar. Pat was out with a group of friends for a bon voyage party for a guy from his office, but not after a great deal of vacillating about whether to even go out that night. It was the end of a long week, and he had already driven by Manchester twice that day – on the way to and from work, so driving the 20 minutes south again that day wasn't particularly appealing, especially when the recliner was singing the siren's song.
But there we both were, at a bar on a Friday night that neither of us had planned to be at. That's the way it is with fate.
I talked to him first when he wandered within range of where I was sitting. (I won't tell you the specifics; he doesn't like my version of the story.) He was amused enough to join my friends and I, and accompanied us to the next bar…and the next, where he had me in hysterics with his air-band interpretation of Peter Cetera's The Glory of Love (from the Karate Kid II), and the finer points of air-microphoning. I remember my cheeks and belly hurt from laughing so much.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding of our need to change our wedding date. The earlier date allows the focus of the event to be on celebrating our wedding with the people we love and who love us. We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us on March 19.!

I think one of the most exciting and intriguing things about true love is that it includes this important tenet: that two people are distinctly good for each other. And that's what Stephanie and Patrick are; incredibly and wonderfully good for each other. They provoke and push each other to grow; they love and support each other unconditionally; and they laugh and giggle constantly. Being around them is being around two people who are completely in love and entirely good for each other.

Life After Bankruptcy | Law Offices of Aaron Resnick, P.A.
Filing for bankruptcy is a nerve racking process. After the bankruptcy has been finalized by your bankruptcy attorneys, it is time to figure out how to move on with your life. First, you will need to begin to rebuild good credit, but you also need to address the issues that led to you needing to file bankruptcy. You may have also recently dealt with foreclosure and had to move. The best thing you can do to make moving on easier must be done before you even file. Make sure you hire a experienced Bankruptcy Law Firm to file the paper work for you. A good bankruptcy attorney will make the bankruptcy process as smooth as possible which will in turn make life after bankruptcy easier.
The first step after bankruptcy will be trying to rebuild your good credit and your good name. Poor post bankruptcy credit can affect many aspects of your life. Some employers check credit and might not hire you with a recent bankruptcy on your credit. Also, trying to buy a car if yours fails will be very difficult. You will be forced to pay higher interest rates when you are able to borrow money because lenders see you as a higher risk. First, use a free credit report service to check your credit report. Make sure all of your debts that should have been discharged through your bankruptcy are listed as "included in bankruptcy". If there are debts that should have been included, contact your bankruptcy lawyer. Made sure you check all three of your free credit reports for errors. After you are satisfied that your reports are accurate, you need to start building positive credit to bring up your credit score. The easiest way to do this is with a secured credit card. You will give the credit card company a few hundred dollars to hold as collateral. In exchange you will receive an equal credit limit. This is not the same as a prepaid credit card, you will still have to pay off your monthly balance. These cards will normally have high interest rates and a yearly fee, so try not to carry a balance. If you pay off the balance in full each month and make sure to pay on time you will see your credit score go up!
The only way to avoid filing bankruptcy again is to figure out how you got into such financial trouble in the first place. Perhaps you were injured and the medical bills quickly piled up. In that case there was probably little you could do. However, if you were overspending you should contact a debt relief agency and ask about credit counseling that can help you learn to budget better. You need to take an honest look at your financial life so that you can move forward and build wealth, not end up in bankruptcy again.
Bankruptcy is a complicated process that should only be filed with the help of Bankruptcy Law Firms. If you live in Florida, contact a lawyer with experience in Bankruptcy in Miami.

A single reel slice of heaven that's included in the Warner box, Big Band, Jazz, and Swing: Short Subject Collection (six discs). Jerry Wald as a harried promoter in Rambling Round Radio Row #1 was the same Wald who'd tote up unbroken success with the studios as writer/producer until death took him in 1962 at age 50. But for that untimely event, Wald's name might tower among ones who could spot good properties and guide them to high dollar finish. You could argue he was a most valuable man Warners had next to Wallis. Wald began at radio reportage for a New York sheet and used contacts from that to take creative hold of broadcast-based shorts WB did from Gotham, the tyro playing himself and doing behind-scene work without credit. Rambling became a series to last several years, radio a warmest commodity thanks to viewer curiosity of what voices off the crystal set were like when not disembodied. Wald was chummy with talent and roped most before cameras, using a mock-up broadcast studio as backdrop.
Such footage is priceless from OTR standpoint. Where else could we see Colonel Stoopnagle and Bud (above) pulling air shift replete with sound FX and ad-libbery? How accurate this reflected their daily bit might be debated, but toward capture of radio personalities in action, these Rambling shorts couldn't be bettered. There's oddity of the Boswell Sisters (at right) harmonizing and kibitzer Abe Lyman stepping in to say they're lousy, him sans orchestra and us wondering why. Did Abe come too high with music accompany, or just pop in the Brooklyn studio that day for a walk-on? Further delight is Kate Smith in youthful blossom (her first screen appearance). She greets with trademark "Hello, Everybody!" and enters the room to sudden shift of the camera from head-on medium to shooting from below, emphasizing her girth in similar way John Huston would with Sydney Greenstreet in The Maltese Falcon. Jokes promptly revolve around Kate's weight --- guess that aspect came as revelation to viewers, unless they'd seen her at stage shows or read the fan mags. Based on energy she radiates here, KS looks like a safest bet for movie laurels, and indeed, she'd be starred by Paramount in a special-built vehicle called (what else?) Hello, Everybody, the following year.
Demands had come in after her appearance in NIGHT AFTER NIGHT for a Mae West starring vehicle. Paramount played it safe and made HELLO, EVERBODY! with Kate Smith which should have been titled HELLO, ANYBODY? because nobody went to see it. Paramount sunk a fortune into it. The film tanked. Mae had Paramount by the short hairs as she was not under contract. Told it took three months to make a movie Mae said she could do it in three weeks. Paramount laughed. They had spent according to reports $2 million on HELLO, EVERYBODY. They gave Mae $150,000 for SHE DONE HIM WRONG (the movie title of her DIAMOND LIL which was condemned by the Hays Office). Mae West brought the picture in at $117,000.00 and in a lot less than the allotted three weeks. The picture was a huge hit. It and her second starring film, I'M NO ANGEL turned the tide for Paramount which had been about to sell its FAMOUS PLAYERS theater chain to MGM. Paramount killed the golden West goose by allowing the Legion of Decency to make her pictures safe for people who went to church on Sunday but never to the movies on Saturday night. Her last Paramount film, EVERY DAY'S A HOLIDAY had only one gag the Legion objected to. "Cut that gag and we will have a Mae West picture the whole family can see," said the smart guys in suits at Paramount. It tanked costing West her Paramount contract. They forgot that a Mae West picture the family could see was a Mae West picture her fans would not want to see.
