I tried to capture what we spoke about but it was impossible to get the heart low in the corner because it needed two points of contact to be secure.
And the pendant which has not been polished yet.
The two together, you can really see a difference in the finish here, but they will look the same when the pendant is polished.


I like to tell a little story that shows how important the value of understanding is.
When he got to another part of the village, he saw different beautiful women going to stream and asked a woman "whose wives are these. And the woman replied " ban fahimce ka"
And after a while he saw many cattle and asked a small boy "who owns this herds of cattle?"
So he finally arrived at a house where many people were crying and he asked who died? 'ban fahimce ka' he was told.
Then he concluded this man despite all he had just died, what a world..!
But you see,what the stranger realised after a while was that "ban fahimce ka" was actually no body's name, It only meant "I don't UNDERSTAND you" In their language.
The moral of this story is that, understanding is key to how we interpret issues.

Olympians Inducted Into Equestrian Hall Of Fame
Sunday, 15 March 2020, 12:40 pm
Press Release: Equestrian Sports New Zealand
New Zealand's first-ever equestrian Olympic team and one of the nation's most beloved horses were honoured this evening at the Equestrian Sports New Zealand Hall of Fame cocktail party.
Sir Mark Todd's Charisma along with the 1964 Tokyo Olympic jumping team, comprising the late Bruce and Graeme Hansen (Gisborne), along with Adrian White (Hawke's Bay) and Charlie Matthews (Gisborne) were inducted before 200 people at the event which was held as part of the Land Rover Horse of the Year Show in Hawke's Bay.
Adrian was the only rider at the celebration while families of the Hansens and Charlie attended. Charlie, who now lives in Australia, was unable to attend.
The team sailed to Tokyo, with the horses stabled on deck beside a rather pungent pellet of garlic. Bruce captained the team, which finished in 10thplace. Just Bruce, Graeme and Adrian competed at the Games with Charlie the reserve. Graeme and Saba Sam were the best of the Kiwis in the opening round with Adrian and Eldorado leading the way in the second. At the end of the Games, Syndicate and Eldorado were sold while Tide and Saba Sam returned to New Zealand. When they competed at the Wairoa Show on their return, the whole district were said to have turned out to watch them. Graeme was the driver behind the Teams' Competition which is held annually at the Horse of the Year Show with the coveted Saba Sam Shield up for grabs.
Charisma and Sir Mark won back-to-back individual gold medals at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles (1984) and Seoul (1988) and endeared themselves to the nation. Charisma didn't start his eventing career until he was 10, Charisma – or Podge as he was known thanks to a keen eye for food – and while it was eventing that led him to the world stage, he also competed to B Grade showjumping level and Prix St George dressage.
Podge was described as a brilliant cross country horse by Sir Mark, saying he was very bold, scopey, fast and nippy – all in all, the perfect combination.
Despite his diminutive height of just 15.3hh the horse was second at Badminton, won Luhmuhlen and twice claimed the British Open Championship as well as a second at Burghley. He retired back to New Zealand at 16 and died in 2002 at Sir Mark's Cambridge property.
UK-based Olympic eventer Tim Price was a big winner at the awards evening, picking up the Rider of the Year crown, and as part of the Team of the Year with Sir Mark Todd and Jonelle Price as victors in the Nations' Cup class at the Camphire International Horse Trials in Ireland in July. It was Sir Mark's last international eventing competition and where he made the shock announcement of his retirement. Tim's horse Ascona M was crowned Horse of the Year alongside Windermere Cappuccino who is ridden by West Melton's Tegan Fitzsimon. The rising 10-year-old this year successfully defended his FEI World Cup NZ League Series title alongside his National Showjumping crown, continuing a stellar career that has seen him win all the age group series through his career as well as the Horse Grand Prix and Premier Grand Prix series. He is owned by Tegan and the Parkes Family.
Jumping stalwart Audrey Cameron was presented the Pilmer Plate for her lifetime of involvement with the sport. The FEI Level 3 judge and FEI Level 2 steward hails from Tauranga and is one of the nation's highest-ranked and most popular officials.

2007 was not a great year for new music, at least for me. I'm getting older, so everything I have ever heard gets to compete with everything new. The new stuff usually loses. I also find that as I get older, I am just less interested in what's going on right now and more interested in exploring various branches of the music history tree.
Regardless, here are the 10 2007 releases I thought most noteworthy.
Burial - "Untrue"A last-minute entry, surprisingly topping this list. This moody downtempo record by a guy from South London is like "Blade Runner" meets DJ Shadow. Simple, spare tracks that conjure vivid images and a variety of moods. Cinema for your mind. Not too long, not too weird. The sort of record I wish I would make sometimes.
LCD Soundsystem - "Sound of Silver"
Electronic/Rock. I didn't care for their last record, but this one has actual songs plus production that even makes the hipsters shake their butts. The basslines are almost all cribbed from other songs, which makes for a fun game of "where'd he steal that from?" But the influences are at least a bit novel, and there's a sense of longing and melancholy beneath the partying, and it's carefully leavened with humor and irony. I don't know if I'll be listening to this record a lot in 2008, but it certainly made 2007 better.
Amy Winehouse - "Back To Black"
Pop/Soul. Take her personal life out of the equation for a moment. She's got a great voice, writes great songs, and manages to make music that isn't for children but doesn't make you like a complete old fart listening to it. The production is a decent blend of retro and modern. And the songs are catchy and melodic without being stupid.
Nine Horses - "Money For All"Alternative. If this were a full-length record instead of an EP, it would almost certainly have topped this list. Most of this is semi-decent remixes of tracks from the David Sylvian-masterminded group's first album "Snow Borne Sorrow". But the ringer here is the title track, whose edgy and topical lyrics ("...I'll take that coat/remove them shoes/should a guy like me be afraid of a man like you?...") practically made it my theme song for the year.
Stars Of The Lid - "And Their Refinement Of The Decline"
Ambient. Unusual in that it's not electronic - the record is all cellos and brass (or at least convincing samples thereof). A double-album with some unfortunately juvenile titles for what are quite beautiful compositions. The record unfolds extremely slowly. The sort of music I would want played at my funeral. I mean that in a good way. If these guys had gone to music school, you'd be reading about them in The New Yorker or New York Times or other classical publications.
M.I.A. - "Kala"
This Electronic/Pop album makes me feel very old and very young. Very young because it's au courant and hip and fun and makes you want to dance and everyone's talking about it. Songs are reasonably solid and it's an example of a contemporary record and artist that don't make me completely wince. It makes me feel old because I can't listen to the whole thing without getting a headache. Hell, I can barely look at the album art without getting a headache. It's a bit much all at once, but who listens to albums all the way through anymore?
Nine Inch Nails - "Year Zero"
Industrial rock. Back in the 90's, Nine Inch Nails were one of my favorite artists - very exciting, fresh, and different. Then they started making records like "The Fragile" (all of the NINnies love this record. It bored me to tears). "Year Zero" isn't an incredibly amazing record, but it's consistent, has some interesting production (while being less reliant on that production than previous albums), and some decent songs ("In This Twilight"). I'm also giving them a spot here because of the unusual marketing campaign and "alternate reality game" which I believe will be one of the most influential things about the album. And there's Trent Reznor's issues with the traditional music business.
Tie between After The Night Falls
and Before The Day Breaks (both by Robin Guthrie and Harold Budd). These ambient albums are sort of companion pieces - the track titles on each record mirror each other. Very much in the same vein as their soundtrack to "Mysterious Skin". Heavily treated piano and guitar. I probably listened to these two albums more than anything else this year.
Underworld - "Oblivion With Bells"
Electronic/Dance. Underworld put out an album this year, which all-but-guarantees placement on this list, as I think they are awesome. This record is not their best, but it has some very strong moments ("Crocodile", "Beautiful Burnout") and only a few really weak ones ("Ring Road", for example).
My 2006 picks are here for reference.


HOMER is a computer model that simplifies the task of evaluating design options for both off-grid and grid-connected distributed generation (DG) applications. HOMER's optimization and sensitivity analysis algorithms allow you to evaluate the economic and technical feasibility of a large number of technology options and to account for variation in technology costs and energy resource availability.
HOMER provides the detailed rigor of chronological simulation and optimization in a relatively simple and easy to use model. It does not compete with the very detailed software used in utility regulatory processes, but is accessible to a much larger set of users, including non-technical decision makers. Chronological simulation is essential for modeling variable resources, such as solar and wind power and for cogeneration applications where the thermal load is variable. HOMER's sensitivity analysis is essential where data is uncertain.


First problem I have is connecting it. I managed to successfully connect it through hardware and devices in control panel once but now when I try it required a pin. Same thing when I go through the window 10 menu and my Bluetooth device menu. Even when I did have it connected dolphin game me the Libusb-error not supported and close the game before I can sync. However on the dolphin page it says it usually mean drivers aren't installed but they are.
TLDR I can't connect the Wiimote without a pin and once I get it working how to fix any potential LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED messages.

Q: VB.net DataTable select statement I have a datatable and I would like to get the MAX number from this table where Term Number (first Column) is a certain value.  If my datatable is declared as dtMyTable, I'm assuming I need to use dtMyTable.Select(), but I'm not sure if this is the best way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Matt

A: dtMyTable.Select() looks like you're using Linq, so why not dtMyTable.Where(<term number is a certain value>).Max(<column you want max value of>)
Linq has a built in Max() function.

A: An option is to use LINQ:
'Assumes integer and a default of 0.
Dim intMax As Integer = 0

'Filter the list by the "Certain Value" of the first column.
Dim lstFilteredRows As List(Of DataRow) = (From dr As DataRow In dtMyTable _
                                           Where dr.Item(0) = "CertainValue").ToList()

'Get the max value by looping through the filtered list.
lstFilteredRows.ForEach(Sub(dr As DataRow)
                            If CInt(dr.Item("ColumnNameWithMaxValue")) > intMax Then
                                intMax = CInt(dr.Item("ColumnNameWithMaxValue"))
                            End If
                        End Sub)

Q: Creating a .NET StreamWriter object from classic ASP - constructor parameter problem I'm trying to create and use a .NET StreamWriter object inside a classic ASP page (VBScript).  Normally I would create the object like this:
Dim writer
Set writer = Server.CreateObject("System.IO.StreamWriter")

However, the constructor for StreamWriter takes a Stream object as a parameter, and the call to CreateObject fails. Even if I could get a parameterless constructor to execute without error, the BaseStream property of the StreamWriter class is read-only, so I couldn't set it to my Stream after object creation.
Is there a way to specify constructor parameters when doing interop from VBScript to .NET in this way?  And no, doing this doesn't work:
Set writer = Server.CreateObject("System.IO.StreamWriter", stream)

My alternative would be to create my own .NET wrapper class with a paramterless constructor and register that assembly for COM interop, but I'd like to avoid that if it's not necessary.

A: According to this post, and the documentation, it is not supported. You need to create a wrapper class in .NET in order to use the StreamWriter from classic ASP.
