so there must be a delay after the view load?

Keep in mind that the View's loaded event fires before it is rendered and becomes visible. There are still UI element activity after the event fired. If the View is a window, I will prefer to use the ContentRendered event, but in Prism the View is usually a UserControl, that does not have a ContentRendered event.

So, following on from this and this , I am just back from a reccy visit to Cyprus.
I must say it was a success.......after visiting 3 schools and 3 villas, and the kids completing entry assessments at the first school we visited, we have accepted school places and signed a lease on a villa.
The next 3 months in Qatar are all about getting everything ready to pack up and ship out, looks like the mrs+kids will go back to the UK at the end of june and the shipment will head of to Cyprus, I will then head to Cyprus to meet it at the end of July, and then the w+kids will head over at the end of summer in time to start the new school year.
My head is mince.....
However, still managed to publish my next blog: Cyprus is Calling for those who want to follow along 
I still have the Qatar is Calling blog on the go, and as I will continue to work in Qatar, I'll probably keep it going, but updates will be less frequent once we move.

I love Cyprus - we get out there as often as we can.
Vasilikon red is not a half bad bottle of plonk either - the winery is just up the road from you in Pafos, towards Latchi

I remember passing the sign for the winery heading up the road to go for a wander in Akamas National Park

Always a lot of fun moving abroad, tell me, is this through work, or are you going independent?
|

It's a bit both...
Well, at the moment, work pay for me and the family to live in Qatar, all housing and schooling is covered 100%. However, the current company lost the contract to operate the field so we are transferring to the new company mid July. The new company do not want offshore managers living in the country, so we are being forced to go back to rotation in/out. The current company is therefore responsible to relocate us back to our original point of origin (or wherever the employee wants up to the value of cost the original p.o.o would be).
I have therefore elected to relocate to Cyprus, so the current company pay the shipment of our household goods to there. I however have to do everything else, e.g. sort out housing, schooling, cars etc. etc. as if I was back at home, and all costs are my responsibility.
I will continue to work in Qatar and the new company will pay for all rotational flights each trip.
I chose Cyprus as it has a direct flight to Qatar daily, easy for work rotation, and handy for pretty much going anywhere, and for family visiting. It has a large British community, and of course a) as a EU citizen I can reside there without fuss and b) tax reasons - continue to remain tax free.
If that makes sense!

The big military base/ex-pat community would be a big benefit to living there, having to learn a foreign language (we did when we moved to France many years ago) makes life very difficult.
But it sounds good, beaches, the med, the food, and there is skiing isnt there?
And of course having a good salary/steady income is important when you are moving abroad, to try to start your own business/be self reliant in a foreign culture is incredibly difficult, the very rules of life vary in many subtle ways across Europe even.
However, living abroad is a true eye opener, you lear a lot about the world, your self and your culture, very quickly!
Anyway, good luck, and enjoy the sea food!

Win 10 on the WookieTab chimed in with a notification, that it didn't know where I am and that I should set a default location so it can sell it to advertisers help companies understand my needs better.
So I did. 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W[^] Happy now, Microshaft?

Yeah. You have to duck occasionally when a satellite gets decommissioned, but the benefits are great: the Sky Pixie fanatics never knock on the door.

That's an advantage? They are always there for interesting discussions and modestly will not take the bottle of beer you offer them. They just are trying to bring little lost sheep back to their herd. Isn't that something you should appreciate? Besides that bottle of beer, my hospitality also includes 'good' music (Venom, have not listened to that junk since I was a very evil kid) while discussing the results of my latest evolutionary algorithm.
I wonder why they don't come anymore.

Once they buzzed while I was with my D&D party. We scrambled to organize a fake Pagan ritual with the props fom the session - plus my GF has two gory artworks of Hannibal (TV series) right on the wall facing the door. They were horrified, we were amused.

Last time they came they brought along a guy with a long beard as reinforcement that looked like Moses himself. It did not take long until Moses decided that it's time to leave. Quickly. They probably have a map of the city at their headquarters and a little black flag now marks my house. Now they don't come anymore

With that information they must by now have deduced that you are Santa Claus and we must be your Elves. Thanks a lot.

Santa lives in the Pacific Ocean (also sharing wifi with Cthulhu)?
Check them co-ordinates again; wrong Pole.

Nah.
If what is said is true (and it's on the Internet, so it must be), then Santa and Griff are (literally) poles apart.

What do the Poles have to do with this? They must have their fingers in everything.
