Identity, existence and the Noisy Neighbours
It is Championship day at last, Leitrim face Roscommon in Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada, Carrick-on-Shannon this afternoon. The result is a foregone conclusion of course; Roscommon are flying high and have cemented their place in Division One of the National League. They have enjoyed considerable success at Underage level in the last decade so that every year their squad is replenished with fresh and exciting talent. Their forward line in particular is one of the most potent in the Country. The Smiths, Creggs, Murtaghs, Shines and Senan Kilbride would walk on to any County panel. Off the field they have 'Club Rossie' one of the most industrious fundraising vehicles in the Country. If you want to compete at inter-county level you need money and lots of it. Roscommon has also produced good club teams that have competed well with Roscommon Gaels, Clann na Gael and St. Brigids going all the way to Croker on St. Patricks Day. No Leitrim club has ever even won a Provincial Club championship (a few near misses granted).
Roscommon has roughly twice the population of Leitrim who languish at the bottom of Division 4 of the National League, propped up by London and Waterford only. If Roscommon are dining at the top table, Leitrim is living on the proverbial scraps. The recession has hit the County hard and many of its finest footballers are now living in Perth or Yonkers. Many Counties have the same problem but those with a small pool of plyers to begin with are feeling it harder. Every year it seems Leitrim have to rebuild their panel. In recent years the Club County Champions have suffered heavy defeats in the Championship. Very few of the top players live in the County and this internal migration to the East Coast is more pronounced than those that move abroad. Why there is a rivalry at all between these two Counties is bizarre? Or is it?
North Roscommon has similar economic problems to Leitrim. It too has declining towns and villages, ageing populations and lack of employment opportunities. The Population of Roscommon is steadily shifting further south and towards Athlone and Monksland. Many of the Clubs in the North of the County compete at Junior or Intermediate level.
Throughout the 50' and up to the late 1970's many of the people of North End of Roscommon met their spouses in the Mayflower, a Ballroom in Drumshanbo, whilst many people from South Leitrim found love in the Cloudland in Rooskey. I am the product of one of these unions and my mother still retains her 'Rossie' accent and will be hoping the 'primrose and blue' prevail today; weight of numbers prevents her from expressing these views too vocally. In more recent decades many inter-county liasions occurred in places like Cartown House, Club 360 or Murtaghs. Many of the children of North Roscommon are educated in Leitrim in places like Carrick Community College and the Vocational School in Drumshanbo. Leitrim have enjoyed regular success with their Senior Vocational School team which is often backed by players from Roscommon clubs like Kilmore, Shannon Gaels, St. Michaels and St. Ronans. In 1983 and '84 Leitrim won All-Ireland 'C' underage hurling titles with many players from Elphin and Shannon Gaels. Children from Bornacoola go to the school across the bridge in Rooskey village. Gene Bohan the mercurial Leitrim forward of the 90's went to school in Dangan NS in the parish of Kilmore. Many children in Cortober go to school across the other Bridge in Carrick. They meet their friends in the Cinema at the weekend (its on the Roscommon side) or go to the Gym and Swimming pool (on the Leitrim side). Also in Carrick Lidl chose to build on the Roscommon side and Aldi on the Leitrim side – perfectly understandable when you note the colours in Lidl's branding. Mass-goers in Carrick who like a Sunday morning lie in will trot across the Bridge at Noon to catch Mass in the Patrician Hall. Carrick Town FC play their home games at the Showgrounds – that's in Roscommon too. In the disastrous Shannon Floods of 2009 it was Leitrim County Council who was first on the scene to help the traders in Cortober with sandbags and pumps.
Some years ago I was socialising in Carrick but across the Bridge in Roscommon in the landmark 'Gings' pub. I was with a friend of mine from Carrigallen which is on the Leitrim Cavan border. My mate was home from the States and his 'Carry Gallon' accent had not being diminished by his exposure to Uncle Sam. This accent is prevalent all along the Cavan Border from Aughavas to Corraleahan with softer versions of it in places like Aughnasheelin and Ballinamore. Most people familiar will note the preponderance for concluding all sentences with the word 'lad'. We were out on a balcony overlooking the Shannon and were joined by a young chatty man. The conversation flowed and I asked him was he heading to the Niteclub (Leitrim side) later. 'No' he replied adding that he didn't want to go over the bridge to 'that crowd' (all expletives removed in case you are reading before the watershed). Being of sound mind and thick of skin I decided to draw the young lad out a bit more. He then muttered a few more unkind words about Leitrim folk. As we were departing he told us to 'watch them now'.
The young lad's views didn't bother me, one could meet exactly the same attitude from a young Leitrim lad in a hostelry on the other side of the River. Much of this talk is simply banter. What was remarkable though was that the young Rossie did not associate our accents with us being from Leitrim. If we were from Kinlough he would have presumed we were from Donegal and if we were from Gortlettragh we might have a midlands twang and he'd think us from Longford. It begged the question though; is there a linguistic divide between the Counties? Most linguists acknowledge that linguistic and dialectical patterns are notorious for not following geographical and political boundaries yet DeGruyter found in comparing Gaelic patterns of speech in Ulster and Connacht, Leitrim speakers consistently followed their northern neighbours.
My interaction with the young lad in Gings led me to conclude that his views were formed by his interaction with people in his immediate hinterland who go to the same Shops. Churches and Schools, who swim in the same swimming pool, go to the same conema, read the same local paper but just happen to live on the other side of a relatively narrow river. His constructed view of 'Leitrim' was really just his view of Carrick-on-Shannon. He never associated our accents as being from Leitrim at all. But maybe I too was looking at things too narrowly? Are there any real historical differences between Leitrim people and their Rossie neighbours?
I believe there is evidence of divisions, they are deep and might go back millennia. Leitrim is in the Province of Connacht and it is common when talking about the Province to reference it as being west of the Shannon. But the people of Leitrim live North and North East of the River Shannon. It is the rest of Connacht that must cross the Shannon to come to Leitrim! Immediately Leitrim is geographically distinct from the rest of the Province. Natural boundaries like Rivers can become political boundaries also. With such boundaries it is important to secure weak places such as shallows which can be easily forded. Such a place exists between the villages of Drumsna and Jamestown where there is a sharp loop in the river. The Doon of Drumsna was constructed here. The Doon is an Iron Age Ditch and is one of the oldest artificial man-made structures in the world. It contains an earth and stone wall which stretches across the peninsula created by the loop. It is estimated that it would have taken 10,000 men two years to build with half a million tonnes of soil and about 60,000 trees. The Doon is built entrirely in Co. Roscommon and was obviously built to defend against attack from the northern neighbours on the other side of the river. The Doon marks the boundary between the ancient Kingdoms of Connacht and Ulster. Such a mammoth Undertaking must have been justified.
So are Leitrim people really Ulster folk in disguise? This would be the makings of another blog post but for now I would simply argue that yes they are.
In early medieval times Roscommon was dominated by the O'Connors and Leitrim was the seat of the O'Rourkes of Breifne. These clans skirmished a lot. The O'Connors never could fully rely on the O'Rourkes who often backed the Northern Ui Neill in conflict. Cattle raiding was common. If the men of Breffni got back across the river and up into the Mountains they could enjoy their steak unmolested. Occasionally counter raids by the Rossies (called a 'Hosting' in those days) would yield fruitful rewards too. This may be the source of the modern accusations of sheep stealing and other depravities levelled by rival supporters.
In the 1790's thousands of people were forced to leave their homes in Ulster after sectarian atrocities there. The Battle of the Diamond took place near Loughgall in 1795 between rival gangs of Protestants and Catholics which led to the setting up of the Orange Order. The persecution of Catholics by Protestant gangs calling themselves 'Peep-o'-Day Boys' intensified. One contemporary account states;-
"Any of us that are Catholic here are not sure of going to bed that we shall get up with our lives, either by day or night. It is not safe to go outside the doors here. The Orangemen go out uninterrupted and the gentlemen of the country do not interfere with them but I have reason to think encourage them in their wickedness…The Orangemen go out in large bodies by day and night and plunder the poor Catholics of everything they have, even the webs of linen out of their looms…
Any of the Catholics they do not wish to destroy, they give two or three days notice to clear out of the place by pasting papers on their doors, on which is written "Go to hell or to Connaught". If you do not, we are all haters of the papists, and we will destroy you."
John Shortt 1796
It is believed that in 1795 alone over 7,000 people were expelled from Armagh. A large amount of these refugees found sanctuary in Leitrim and North Longford and West Cavan. The land wasn't great but they were safe. These people were the Ultachs and they are the ancestors of many Leitrim people. Ultach surnames include McHugh, Quinn, Gallogly, Gilhooley, O,Neill, McEneaney, McGoohan, McGahern, McCartin, McKiernan, McWeeney, Maguire, Clarke, Shortt, Cafferty, McCaffrey, O'Doherty, McNulty and Mulligan to name a few. Many of these names have appeared on a Leitrim Team Sheet over the years and today is no different.
Even the topography of the Counties are vastly different, the soil in Leitrim is generally poor with a few pockets of good land, in Roscommon the soil is generally good with a few pockets of poor land. Leitrim is mountainous and Roscommon is flat (Arigna excepted). DBC Pierre once described Leitrim as follows – "It was a landscape from a dream, unmanicured, informal, raffish and intimate in its beauty, changing textures all the time. If Kew Gardens were the grand salon of a mansion, this would be its teenager's bedroom."
So maybe despite some romantic dalliances between the opposite sexes and opposite sides of the River this century there really are inherent historical, cultural and dialectical divisions between the Counties; this coupled with proximity has contributed to a long and sustained rivalry. It is generally though a friendly rivalry with well-defined roles, Leitrim always the perennial underdogs but resilient enough to cause a shock every now and again.
Roscommon will be very confident of a win today, their supporters will be cocky, surely, surely Leitrim cannot upstage them! It is unlikely, these teams are operating in different company these days but there is nothing like a local derby to narrow the odds of what would be the upset of the summer. Leitrim will give it their best shot. If we lose we won't dwell on it, we'll all be at work in the morning and life will go on for us. We don't want any pity or sympathy from Sunday game panellists, a few more quid from Croke Park to help our clubs would be helpful. Despite the bare trophy cabinet we are proud to be part of a wider GAA community. For us the GAA is more than just silver ware, it is our identity, it is what we are. We might be small in numbers but we will keep at it and every now and then we will get our small victories and they will sustain us until the next one. We thrive on boxing above our weight. Perhaps this is what some commentators don't get. Yes we are realists, yes the odds are stacked against us but we are still in it to win. Why else would we persevere at it?
Despite the long odds those of us who travel to Carrick today do so in hope. Our grounds are named after our native son, Sean Mac Diarmada, a man crippled by polio but not by defeat. He knew his legacy would be strong and would last. In many ways our teams are like this and though victory may not be our lot we know there is a bigger picture. This is why every Saturday morning at 10.30 am our club grounds are full children learning the basic skills of the game that defines our culture. As long as those kids keep coming through the gates in places like Glenfarne, Aughnasheelin, Drumreilly and Dromahaire our identity is secure. The result today won't alter that, win, lose or draw. Liathroim Abu!

By using Deep Freeze, the Adobe IT team can guarantee perfectly operational computers for all its attendees at the Adobe Max 2014 event. This helps us achieve our objective of providing hands-on training to creative professionals on the latest Adobe products without interruption.
Faronics Insight is a great product! It helps our teachers to easily collaborate with students. It not only monitors computers but also helps teachers integrate well with students. On the scale of 1-10, I will definitely give it 11.
I really like Deep Freeze as it makes my job so much easier. Kids keep changing the desktop and they feel that they have control of their computers, but actually they don't. This is because as soon as the computers restart, the desktops go back to where you had set it. You have the control over the computers.
We use Deep Freeze on our computer labs across 21 school districts. It is really a great product. It helps us make sure that whenever teachers or students work on the PCs and alter machine setup, all the settings are back to where they were when we restart the PC.
We use Deep Freeze in our classroom computers and computer labs. What I really love about Deep Freeze is its ability to freeze the settings, so there's uniformity among classrooms. Our students have the habit of customizing computers and browsers. Upon restarting the computers, all the unwanted changes are wiped out. It makes computer management easy and very hassle free.
I love Deep Freeze. As a computer teacher with over 10 years experience, it saves me at least 20-30% of my time. The best thing is when students make any changes on the computers, I can just reset them by simply rebooting the system. I can focus more on preparing for classroom lessons.
Insight has improved productivity in my classroom. I can easily control and monitor the students' activities on their computers. It is really a good tool for my classroom. We also use a product called Deep Freeze which helps us during malware attack. Please keep producing products like Deep Freeze and Insight.
We have been using Deep Freeze probably from 14 years. Students pull down and store videos, get in viruses and malware stuff during their class. When that machine shuts down at the end of the day, next day when it starts all the unwanted stuff goes away and becomes brand new the next day.
It is the best security solution for computer labs in high schools. If you are not using Deep Freeze, then you're wasting a lot of your time repairing children's PC problems rather than spending your time in teaching.
We have been using Deep Freeze from 7-8 years in our Mac and Windows lab. It is a tremendous software. Children who like to explore are going to change the background or the settings. But with Deep Freeze in place, the computer is left just as it was earlier with a simple restart.
We have been using Deep Freeze program for 5-7 years and it has made our job so much easier. I can just restart the computers to fix everything that kids had done, and we are back and running within a minute.
It is absolutely wonderful. We were having so much trouble with children changing desktop settings earlier and with Deep Freeze it is just so nice to be able to get the computer restored. If they have done a lot of changes, I can remove them by logging off and signing back in.
This saves me a couple of hours every time there is a need to re-image the computers. It is such a time saver and it allows me to keep the computers clean for students to use.
We have been using Deep Freeze probably for 8-10 years. It is a great resource for us to have. It helps us keep our devices the way they are supposed to be.

How To Become The Modern Marketer Of The New Millennium
By Klaus Paulsen, Co-Founding Partner, CNA|SOPHIS
We all know the marketing landscape has evolved and changed drastically, not at least for retailers. Customers can and will access information about products, services, pricing and brand reputation anywhere and any time. As such, they are now more sophisticated and educated than ever, and if you think simply adding "data" instead of "television" to a traditional mass communication strategy of yesteryear will do, you are missing one important fact.
Marketing success today is driven by customers, empowered by technology. To keep up, your understanding and ability to take action based on factual insight is pivotal to your business.
This is what Forrester Consulting has called Marketing Maturity, and it indicates how well your marketing practices are keeping up with the pace of change. For the first time, many marketers are not pushing prospects and customers ahead of them, but rather trying to keep up. How well you perform will place you in the category of Novice, Developing, Experienced or – the top of the class – Modern Marketer.
If you think only a few marketers are in that final group, you are right on the money – or rather, the lack of it on the bottom line. In a recent survey by Forrester with responses from about 500 marketing decision makers from around Europe and the United States, the status of Marketing Maturity was: 15% are Novices, 41% are Developing, 33% percent are Experienced. Only a mere 11% can be categorized as Modern Marketers.
So, why should you care? Well, as one of the Modern Marketers said, technology has given them that little bit of difference in understanding who they are, what their business is, who their customers are, and how to approach them. That reflects in their numbers:
94% have attained a significant market share
49% enjoy the marketing leading position
71% have received national recognition as a "best place to work"
35% have increased sales
55% have higher revenues
32% have increased executive support of marketing as a strategic part of the business
How To Become A Modern Marketer
To upgrade to modern marketing practices, first you should ask yourself these questions about your current marketing practices:
How well do you target your audiences?
How well do you engage with buyers?
How well do you convert buyers across their lifetime and customer journeys?
How well do you analyze marketing's performance against goals?
How well do you use technology to support all the associated marketing processes?
To go from "bad" to "good" and even "great" in your answers to the above, you will need to take some important steps towards Marketing Maturity:
Invest in a comprehensive data strategy. Data is your new currency.
Start tracking your activity with specific metrics. Soft measures such as brand awareness, disconnected stats, website traffic and Facebook likes are all part of the reason why marketing's financial impact remains largely unclear to the rest of your business. When that happens, marketing is often considered an expense, not an investment in business development.
Combine content strategy with automation. Content is king, and context is the kingdom. You need to deliver the right content at the right time and place it across channels to convert suspects to prospects to customers and to advocates. Automation can help you do that.
Own the customer's digital experience from pre-sale to post-sale to re-sale across all relevant platforms. Start thinking about what the relevant touch points are not only during, but also before and after the sale, and act accordingly. Please note that there is no universal rule of what works best when. You will need to learn what works best from you from monitoring and engaging with your own customers.
Finally, use technology and processes to simplify your marketing efforts, not overcomplicate them. Iterative development and automation are just two ways of doing so.
How To Excel As A Modern Marketer
Even within the companies that did best in the survey, there is still room for improvement. This can be translated into your window of opportunity, if you understand the following key components of a more advanced, Mature Marketing strategy.
Your customer relationship does not end with the sale. Your post-purchase engagement such as successful adoption and use helps convert buyers into repeat customers and advocates. Your customer dialogue has to be more than an one-way dialogue. Even with digital media, many still apply what are basically traditional mass communication strategies. For example: social media engagement is an ongoing effort, not a campaign burst. As one Modern Marketer noted, they now have a team that has grown to about four times the size of what it was two years ago. This helps them to engage in dialogue with their members.
Your cross-channel influence has to be measured beyond its isolated channels. One of the powerful benefits of cross-channel marketing is the influence each channel can have on the others. However, most marketers only measure the channels individually, or at best by tracking some sort of "halo effect" of echoed across channel. You will need to set up a system where you can truly track the integrated effect of cross-channel marketing.
Your systems need to be integrated to service you as fully automated marketing platform. In the age of Big Data, many of these data are stuck in the channel silos. Luckily, technological advancements, not at least in cloud services, brings promise for the future.
Your team needs to have analytical skills. You need to have analytical skills. One-third of respondents to the survey put brand and marketing management in the top spot, while only 12% did the same for data analytics. Understanding data analytics will help you decide and get support for the best possible course of action, based on more than merely intuition. Being able to report your findings will let your business understand the tangible benefits provided by your marketing efforts.
Summing up, you will be able to Reinvent Retail if you take a long, hard critical look at how far you are from becoming a Modern Marketer, and then take the appropriate steps to move forward. Just be ready to do it again and again if you want to not only reach but sustain your position at the top of the class of Marketing Maturity in the new millennium.

Q: C# Create Notepad++ like Search Box What I'm trying to make is a search window exactly the same as in VS or Notepad++, where both windows are active (because the FindBox is shown with Show not ShowDialog), and when you press find in the FindBox, the parent performs the search. Here's an example:
class MainForm : Form
{
    public void FindNext(string find)
    {
        // Do stuff
    }

    public void OpenFindWindow()
    {
        FindBox find = new FindBox();
        find.customParent = this;
        find.Show();
    }
}

class FindBox : Form
{
    public customParent;

    public void FindButtonPressed()
    {
        ((MainForm)customParent).FindNext(textBox1.text);
    }
}

But it seems strange I have to manually set this new field "customParent". What is the official way to do something like this?

A: You can either accept the customParent as a argument in the constructor, or better yet, the FindBox form should take a Action<string> that it will call once the find button is pressed.
Example:
class MainForm : Form
{
    public void FindNext(string find)
    {
        // Do stuff
    }

    public void OpenFindWindow()
    {
        FindBox find = new FindBox(this.FindNext);
        find.Show();
    }
}

class FindBox : Form
{
    private Action<string> callback;

    public FindBox(Action<string> callback)
    {
        this.callback = callback;
    }
    public void FindButtonPressed()
    {
        callback(textBox1.text);
    }
}

A: You can use owner form - use Show overload that accepts owner form. And then use Form.Owner property to get reference to owner form. You need to case the owner form to specific form type creating tight coupling (but of course, you can introduce an interface to loosen that up).

A: You could use
find.Show(this);

and use the Owner property of find to access the parent form. Of course you'll have to cast it to MainForm in this case:
((MainForm)this.Owner).FindNext(textBox1.Text);

This approach also has the advantage that the main form cannot hide the find box (owned forms will always be displayed on top of their owners, even if the owner has the focus ...)

#Adulting hit me hard when Aziz & I decided to get married when I was only 23 years old. I had never lived on my own, let alone with a boy! Nor had I ever, written a check, cleaned an entire house (not just my room when I was told), gone to the doctor alone, cooked every single day, I didn't even know how much a mortgage payment or regular bills cost! I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I decided to get married, I mean I knew it would mean living with the boy I love, but I had no idea about all the other things that came with it.
I guess you can say, I learned the hard way. I'm thankful for my incredible husband, who guided me and showed me how to use liquid laundry soap, and nagged (nags) me about making important phone calls and doctors appointments.
Not that I didn't have a budget before I was married–I did. But I had no idea how much things like groceries, home decor, travel, clothes, and pets cost. When #adulting you have to learn how to prioritize your life. If you're undertaking a huge renovation project (read about our upcoming kitchen reno here), I know I can't go out and buy a designer purse.
I would go even further than that and suggest you sit down once a month with your spouse and go over your finances. Calculate your income and subtract things like household bills and savings. Then, go over your last months expenses and add up how much you spent on groceries, eating out, and shopping, see how much you can save next month. It's so important to be aware of your spending habits.
Going to the doctor, dentists, and specialists is a huge part of #adulting. I'm not going to lie, the first time I had to make my own doctor/dentist appointments, I dreaded it. I was like "mom, are you sure you can't come with me?" It just felt weird going on my own, but once I was done I left feeling confident and accomplished.
If you're in the Atlanta area, I would recommend visiting Metro Dental Group PC, they specialize in all things teeth and have an incredible team that insure you leave smiling every single time. Metro Dental group is located in Decatur, GA and the dentist there, Gary Simms claims to be the #1 dentist in Decatur.
Going to the dentist on time and having good oral hygiene can prevent not only tooth loss and gum disease, but it can also prevent heart disease, dementia and issues of diabetes. I know making these appointments can be exhausting and seems tedious, but we only have one body, and #Adulting means taking care of it.
You don't have to tell me twice to get enough sleep, but I know there are those out there who think they have better things to do. Not only does getting enough sleep make you a more pleasant person to be around, but you actually are more likely to get things done correctly if you've had enough rest, it also helps you maintain a healthy weight, keeps your health in check, makes you less hungry, makes you look better, etc.
As silly as it sounds, I don't think there are enough people out there who actually, truly believe in this. We live in a world of "yes".
What if you said "No" to a few of the above questions? Would you actually get some time for yourself to maybe watch your favorite TV show, start reading that book that's been on your nightstand for 3 weeks, or maybe even try a new recipe you pinned a while back?
In the age of social media, and having so many people at your fingers all the time, I sometimes wonder if we spent more time alone, would we actually be the same person?
This post is sponsored by Metro Dental Group PC. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands that keep EraforSarah up & running!
Sleep is EVERYTHING. Couldn't agree more! Great list and tips!

Siobhan Davies Studios, St. George's Road, London, SE1 6ER
Only 3 spaces left
The exhibition launch for Valerie Ebuwa's Material Archive ValUE as part of Artist Archive.
ValUE is a multi-layered project that challenges racism and ideas of 'conventional' beauty head on. The name comes from artist Valerie Uchechukwu Ebuwa's initials, and also stands for the quality of the project's content, in which she works to decode racial oppression through dance and visual art. ValUE will be installed throughout the studios and on display until 20 February 2023.
Find out more about the exhibition on our website
This event takes place across our studios.
Doors open at 6.30pm and close at 9pm. Written and audio accompaniment (via QR codes, please bring a smartphone if possible) will be available to viewers, who are invited to choreograph their own path through the exhibit.
At 7.15pm, artist Valerie Ebuwa will give a talk, chaired by Ama Rouge with BSL interpretation by Jacqui Beckford. This is not a Q&A but rather a discussion around the creation of the project.
Food and drinks will be available from a bar and a food vendor in our courtyard.

I am thinking about the RoseGold MAB on e-bay as my first RM purchase. What do y'all think? Can I trust this seller as authentic? I see that they sell lots of RM bags. Anyone have any experience with them?
I think that you're good to go! I was looking at that auction too and wondering what her reserve is set at. She has perfect feedback and that bag is authentic. Go for it!
Bag is authentic and seller is a tPFer. Should be ok!
i love the rosegold! go for it!
yes it is authentic. i beleive the seller purchased it at the gilt sale. Not sure if this is the same one, but there was one we talked abt in another thread.
But yes- RM hasn't been faked yet, so go for it!

Part of the appeal of the CAB is being able to adapt the application to fit the needs of the user. SmartParts can be loaded programmatically. The CAB will load modules based on the contents of the ProfileCatalog.xml file. A module is a collection of components (WorkItems, services, and so forth) that are needed when performing a certain task or assuming a specific role in the application. It is also possible to enable the application to load SmartParts based on custom configuration settings in an XML or other means of configuration. This allows you to adapt the UI and load modules based on criteria such as user roles. For example, the UI could load a shop floor console, manager console, and administrator console based on the current user's assigned permissions.
Hands-on labs: Free training content for the CAB. This contains in-depth detail about the contents of the CAB, including descriptions of the sample applications that are included.
Community Site: Public site targeted at helping CAB users.
Smart Client Software Factory: See below for more information.
The Smart Client Software Factory is a great resource for getting started with the CAB. In addition to documentation, examples, and source code, it provides a "guidance package" that automates portions of the design process that are often repeated by developers of CAB-like applications. The link provided above provides extensive information about setting up the SCSF and making the most of its functionality.
Although we didn't show source code, you have learned about the CAB at a very high level that has been so graciously shared by the Microsoft Patterns and Practices group. It allows you to create Windows Forms-based applications that have sophisticated capability without being as sophisticated to create.

Immuno-stimulating effect of the endo-polysaccharide produced by submerged culture of Inonotus obliquus
ABSTRACT: Inonotus obliquus BELYU1102 was selected from 12 different strains of Inonotus as a producer of immuno-stimulating polysaccharide. After a batch fermentation of I. obliquus BELYU1102 was carried out in a 300 l pilot vessel, endo-polysaccharide and exo-polysaccharide were both obtained. The proliferation activity of endo-polysaccharide for splenic cells was much higher than the activity of exo-polysaccharide. The active endo-polysaccharide was produced primarily during the late stationary phase. Enhanced proliferation and polyclonal IgM antibody production were observed in B cells by purified water-soluble endo-polysaccharide. Nitrite production and expression of IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and iNOS in macrophages were also enhanced. However, the endo-polysaccharide did not affect the proliferation of T cells, the IL-2 expression of Th1 cells, or the IL-4 expression of Th2 cells. The endo-polysaccharide showed activities similar to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for B cells and macrophages, but there was a large difference between the two polysaccharides because cellular activations induced by endo-polysaccharide were not affected by polymyxin B, a specific inhibitor of LPS. The endo-polysaccharide appeared to have other cellular binding sites with TLR-4 and did not show a direct toxicity against tumor cells. However, indirect anti-cancer effects via immuno-stimulation were observed. The mycelial endo-polysaccharide of I. obliquus is a candidate for use as an immune response modifier. Submerged mycelial cultures are advantageous for industrial production of polysaccharides.

Is this Sydney's most delicious, and elaborate, high tea? Bronwen Gora endeavours to find out.
Sydney's ultimate high tea menus have arrived, 'his and hers' options complete with Vegemite-laced wagyu, champagne-infused gravlax and plenty of French bubbles, fine whisky and, of course, tea to wash it all down.
This decadent experience comes courtesy of the city's five-star Primus Hotel, and it's made even more special thanks to the combined genius of executive chef Daniel Menzies and head pastry chef Andria Liu. Together, they have re-fashioned regular high tea fare into a range of unique creations that match perfectly with the textures and flavours of champagne and whisky.
The high teas also match their grand surroundings in the Lobby Bar of the Primus Hotel, which is housed in the Art Deco splendour of Sydney's heritage-listed 1930s water board building. The enormous Lobby Bar is one of its most impressive features, with eight-metre-high red scagliola marble-look columns, soaring ceilings, panelled sky lights, potted palms and low lounges. I could have worn a 1930s vintage dress and mum's genuine fox stole and felt perfectly at home.
The Madame Clicquot High Tea at the Primus Hotel, Sydney.
The Madame Clicquot High Tea marks the 200th anniversary of Madame Clicquot's Rose Champagne. It begins with a sip from a glass of her finest and plump Sydney Rock Oysters served with Veuve Clicquot granita. This pairs perfectly with elegant sandwiches filled with oh-so-delicately slivered cucumber, just the right amount of crème fraiche and a sprinkling of chives.
Next is a gravlax of Ōra King salmon from New Zealand, a delicacy chosen for its ranking among the world's finest fishes thanks to an oil content so high its fat content sees it compared to wagyu.
Chef Menzies improves even further on this quality by infusing the Ōra King salmon's marinade with Madame Clicquot's champagne to make it even softer and more succulent. Teamed with caviar and squid cracker, it is divine.
We reach again to the platter, this time retrieving confit duck rillettes with pickled cherry, another clever pairing designed to complement champagne, with a crunch added by thin Melba toast.
Delicious treats from the the Madame Clicquot High Tea at the Primus Hotel, Sydney.
Feelings of impending fullness are overridden by the culinary artistry still begging for attention: a crab and corn beignet with calamondin, a citrus fruit that until now I did not know existed. The cross between mandarin and kumquat gives a sweet/sour spark that matches nicely with the fine drop in my glass, which by now looks like it needs a refill.
Dessert destroys any desire to stop eating. It would be madness to miss a taste of tiramisu, a nibble of nostalgia-inducing raspberry Wagon Wheel, or ignore a yearning for yoghurt panna cotta with strawberry and honeycomb.
There is even a version of vanilla cannoli, and a finale of lemon white chocolate scones that taste as comforting as they sound, especially when topped with rhubarb strawberry gin jam (where can I buy a jar?!) and Chantilly cream.
The gentleman's afternoon offering, Glenmorangie & Tea, also excels. In the same vein as Madame's, most menu items are touched by the three whiskies on offer, Lasanta, Nectar d'Or and Quinta Ruban.
Lasanta lifts the Kilpatrick sauce atop Sydney Rock Oysters, and a dish of wagyu brisket has its rich depth enhanced by a Vegemite-tinged Nectar d'Or infusion. Grilled octopus is enveloped with a chilli-spiced Quinta Ruban single malt sauce.
Other choices include a mushroom consommé intensified by black truffle; potato galettes enlivened with native spices and chimichurri, and a trio of prosciutto, rockmelon and mint to refresh the palette.
Tea or coffee anyone? How could we forget. From a list ranging between Indian chai to English breakfast and Turkish Apple, I choose a refreshing Matcha green tea to finish. My high tea partner selects a frothy cappuccino to carry her into the evening. Sated (and ever so slightly sozzled), these high teas have our vote.
The Madame Clicquot High Tea and The Glenmorangie & Tea are served daily between 3pm and 5pm at The Primus Hotel, 339 Pitt Street, Sydney.
