Apple offers unclaimed WWDC tickets to select developersApple on Friday began sending out emails asking developers who were not selected in this year's WWDC 2014 ticket lottery if they would like to purchase passes that have gone unclaimed by those originally selected to attend.
According to multiple Twitter posts, developers who missed out on the chance to buy tickets to June's Worldwide Developers Conference are being asked by Apple if they would like to take one of the unclaimed slots.
It is unclear how the invitations are being meted out, though some developers have joked the process is like "round two" of the WWDC lottery.
When Apple sent out initial invitations to buy WWDC 2014 passes earlier in April, the company noted that developers had one week to complete their purchase. At the time, it was noted that reserved slots would be held until 8 p.m. Eastern on Apr. 14, though no mention was made as to what would happen with the unclaimed tickets once that date passed.
At this year's WWDC, Apple is expected to unveil the next-generation iOS 8 alongside a possible sneak peek of OS X 10.10, both of which are under development as seen by AppleInsider's traffic logs.
In addition, events scheduled for the yearly event include more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers, over 100 hands-on labs and other sessions for developers.
WWDC 2014 kicks off on June 2 at San Francisco's Moscone West. The opening "State of the Union" address will be streamed live via the WWDC website, while select videos and technical sessions will be made available online as the week progresses.

A little or a Lot?July 19th, 2016
When its a little then is simple… its just that, A little.
When its a lot but not that much, its A lottle.
Now it gets more difficult. when its not a little and not a lottle what is it? This question got me puzzled. Of course I wouldn't be I if i didn't came up with a solution for that. Simple as is, If its not a little and if its not a lottle, its a liottle. Can you still keep up?
So what is it when its more then a lottle you wonder? Its a lottlelot in that case.
Now that's cleared up get a pencil n add these words to yuor dictionary.
Que sera, seraJuly 16th, 2016
What ever will be will be, the futures not ours to see Que sera sera.
Its been going through my mind quite a lot lately. Lots of recent changes in my life has caused this of course and there are so many more changes to come. I know what I'm capable of but what I do not know is what I'm not capable of. Yes I'm worried if i will be able to pay the bills and stay out of debts like I was able to before. My life has changed and will be changing a lot more. Will i still be able to continue to pay my bills in time? Thats the most important to me. I'm creative enough to make life worthwhile even for the kids. Money can only buy so much. the time invested in them and the shared laughters you cant buy. It's just gonna be another adventure i guess. Might as well enjoy it while Im at it.
Today I want to say thank youJuly 11th, 2016
Today I want to say thank you for being there for me.
Today I want to say thank you because you didn't had to be
Today I want to say thank you for everything you do
Today I want to say thank you because i never asked you to
Today I want to say thank you because thanks to you I can
Today I want to say thank you because if not now then when?
Today I want to say thank you for you went for me out of your way
Today I want to say thank you for what you did for me yesterday
Today I want to thank you because you di so much from so afar
Today I want to thank you because i appreciate you for who you are
Today I want to say thank you, to you you and you
Today I want to say thank you to you and you and you too,

Oorlog – WarJuly 10th, 2016
't is koud en donker om ons heen,
het geluid van een harde knal gaat ons door merg en been.
Dan horen we allemaal stemmen,
veel gegil en geren, de paniek is niet te remmen.
Dan word er hard op het luik boven ons hoofd geklopt.
Iedereen zwijgt, houd z'n adem in tot het gebons stopt.
In het midden van de ruimte steekt iemand een kaars aan.
Hoelang zullen we met deze angst in deze kou nog door moeten gaan.
Een vrouw begint te huilen, haar man en haar kinderen leven niet meer.
Zomaar doodgeschoten, in koele bloede, door een man met een geweer.
Alleen maar omdat ze even buiten liepen,
en de kinders om hun moeder riepen.
Ach hoeveel levens gaat het nog kosten, hoelang gaat het nog duren,
kan er dan niemand ons een heel klein beetje vrede sturen?
Geschreven naar aanleiding van de golf oorlog door D.S. op 2 januari 1993
Surrounded by cold and darkness
The sound of a loud noise goes right through us
A lot of voices all around,
Footsteps, screaming, such a frightning sound,
A knock on the hatch above our heads,
nobody speaks, hardly breaths, filled with dreads.
Someone lights a candle in the middle of the room,
How long we have to live with this fear, cold and doom?
A woman cries, her husband and children are dead.
Killed by a man with a gun, they where no threat
They just walked outside,
surching for there mother, who lost them out of sight
How much longer wil it last, how many lives will it take?
Can't someone send us some peace for our sake?
Written on january 2 1993, during the Gulf war
Just A Little ThinkingJuly 10th, 2016
Just a Little thinking,
I raise my head and look right up in the sky
There are stars blinking, up and above, very high.
They've made me think about something,
they've made me think about almost everything.
About my live, my future and my past,
The time is going so very fast.
They've made me almost crying,
But I'll keep on trying,
to see the beauty of live
and forget the pain, from that knife,
The knife that has hurt me deep,
the pain that I feel, no matter if I'm awake ore asleep.
I'm trying to put that feeling apart,
yes I'm trying very, very hard
And get the strength to compose a laugh.
The laugh that I almost always have.
Because that's what my live is about,
always laughing out loud
No matter what happens to me
no one will and shall ever see,
That I'm crying, deep down inside of me.
And no matter what I try,
that feeling is always standby.
21 december 1997 D.S.

There are 4 operators in C++ which can be overloaded but cannot be overloaded as freestanding (aka nonmember, standalone) functions. These operators are:
operator =
operator ()
operator ->
operator []
This thread explains perfectly well the rationale behind prohibiting
operator = to be a nonmember function. Any ideas about the other three?

Turning Point: Breaking The Pattern
"I'd been a professional photographer for 10 years when I took this photo at a rice planting ceremony in Kyoto, Japan, in 1984. I was taking a workshop conducted by the brilliant Ernst Haas, who later became a mentor and friend. Prior to this photograph I don't think I truly understood the importance of gesture, pattern, and counterpoint.
"I was photographing the five ladies on the bank when I saw the woman who would pass in front, breaking the pattern and adding interest to the shot. That's something I've tried to do ever since, and tried to explain to students. A photograph with a specific pattern or design often has an overwhelming impact the first time you see it. Then as you look at it and figure out the pattern and the design, it's like a magic trick that's been revealed, and when you know how it's done, it loses something. I like that this person crossed in front and added a question of 'Why? What's going on?'
"This photo still resonates with me, and I always see something I hadn't seen before. That's the sign of a photo that really stands above the rest."
Visit Arthur Meyerson's website, www.arthurmeyerson.com, to see more images from The Color of Light and find out about his upcoming workshops.
This column is the result of our belief that many accomplished photographers can indicate one photograph of particular significance to their careers. It's also the result of our desire to hear their stories.

The Monty Python Character Test
The Knight of Ni
Apperance: The Holy Grail.
Evil, agressive, stubborn and utterly mad crazy fellow. :D
High Light:
Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!
Arthur: Who are you?
Knight of Ni: We are the Knights who say..... "Ni"!
Arthur: (horrified) No! Not the Knights who say "Ni"!
Knight of Ni: The same.
Other Knight of Ni: Who are we?
Knight of Ni: We are the keepers of the sacred words: Ni, Ping, and Nee-womm!
Other Knight of Ni: Nee-womm!
Arthur: (to Bedevere) Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!
Knight of Ni: The knights who say "Ni" demand..... a sacrifice!
Arthur: Knights of Ni, we are but simple travelers who seek the enchanter who lives beyond these woods.
Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!
Bedevere: No! Noooo! Aaaugh! No!
Knight of Ni: We shall say "Ni" to you... if you do not appease us.
Arthur: Well what is it you want?
Knight of Ni: We want.....
(pregnant pause)
(dramatic minor chord)
Arthur: A *WHAT*?
Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni!! Ni! Ni!
Arthur; No! No! Please, please, no more! We will find you a shrubbery.
Knight of Ni: You must return here with a shrubbery... or else you will never pass through this wood... alive.
Arthur: O Knights of Ni, you are just and fair, and we will return with a shrubbery.
Knight of Ni: One that looks nice.
Arthur: Of course!
Knight of Ni: And not *too* expensive.
Arthur; Yes!
Knight of Ni: Noowwwww.... GO!
Arthur: O Knights of Ni. We have brought you your shrubbery. May we go now?
Knight of Ni: Yes, it is a good shrubbery. I like the laurels particularly. But there is one small problem....
Arthur: What is that?
Knight of Ni: We are now *no longer* the Knights Who Say "Ni"! Other Knights of Ni: Ni! Shh! Shh!
Knight of Ni: We are now the Knights who say "Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang, zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringmm".
Other Knight of Ni: Ni!
Knight of Ni: Therefore, we must give you a test.
Arthur: What is this test, o Knights of..... Knights who 'til recently said "Ni"?
Knight of Ni: Firstly, you must find.... ANOTHER SHRUBBERY!!!
(another minor chord)
Arthur: Oh not *another* shrubbery!!
Knight of Ni: (excitedly) THEN... Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher, so we get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle.
Other Knights of Ni: A path! A path! A path! Shh, shhh. Ni! Ni!
Knight of Ni: Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... Wiiiiiithh.... A HERRING!

The five remaining aspiring chefs are presented with a challenge that requires them to cook for cheap. They visit a local fresh food market and purchase $10 worth of ingredients each in ten minutes, then are given 30 minutes to create a dish using these ingredients. The dishes are judged by a panel of special guest judges. The winning chef is given a day at a poolside cabana with Jean-Philippe and a following chef, followed by a $1,000 shopping spree at a kitchen supply store. The losers are subjected to Hell's Kitchen laundry day. A romance develops between two of the chefs. At the evening service, Chef Ramsay challenges the chefs to communicate by making them continuously switch stations throughout service. Some chefs rise to the challenge, while others clam up and fail to communicate.moreless

In Photoshop there are a lot of ways to reach a determined result. Is up to each user define and follows certain techniques. I [have done] two Photoshop classes (intermediate and advanced) years ago, but now I certainly know much more than I learned in the past. I [have used] Photoshop [for] about 11 years and always try to apply the tools for illustration purposes. To reach this results in precision use the Photoshop selection tools. In fact, there are other tips to get this, and this [tutorial] is a result of years of attempts, success and failures with Photoshop).
Each image posted has its own layer as follows:
-1 layer for background
-1 layer for the line art
-1 layer for the flat colors
-1 layer for shading
-1 layer for second level of shading
-1 layer for the lights
-1 layer for the highlights (maybe I don´t use this)
-1 layer for contour (maybe I don´t use this)
-1 layer for effects (glowing eyes, and so on)
At the end, the layers will be merged and we get the final result.
Basics: Line Art and Colors Layers:
1) Line art: I drew these lines in 2007 and decided it's time to add some colors on it:
2) Basic colors layer: Yep . . . exclusive colors - it´s a recolor/repaint (just playing around with Photoshop selection tools):
Shading - First Level:
Now the first level of shading. I use black with 35% of opacity:
Second Level of Shading:
[This is] to give [your work] more contrast and that cool 3D feel . . . .
In a new layer, I added more black with 35% of opacity (again) to define were the lights don't reach or reach just a bit. This helps a lot and the 3D feel will be strong at the end:
[I use] the selection tools of Photoshop a lot here. For better results, (this is valid for any kind of selection) select the desired area with the "magic wand tool" and then at the suspended menu: Select > Modify > Expand (1 or 2 pixels, depending on the situation) - then use the Gradient tool with white as foreground color and pick "foreground color to transparent" in the Gradient tool options. Apply the gradient according with the light source direction (from right to left, above to below on this particular case). The intensity of the gradient will depend on the light source. You should be careful with this for better results. (Note that the top of the Alternator is brighter than his feet). Try to visualize the light source and be coherent with it:
I use a darker background to show the light layer properly.
The light complements the first layer of shading but not WITH the shading layer. The select area for the light should not contain any shaded area.
Highlights Layer:
When the lights pop up from the eyes (the main source light reflection, or whatever), use the selection tools again. You can also use the pen tool to generate extreme precision select areas. I did in determined areas. After [this], apply the highlights with solid white. You can add some outer glow layer effect. Shinny!
And finally . . . .
The Effects Layer:
Here I concentrate my firepower in the eyes, rear and front lights.
MERGE all showed layers and get the final result.
Another important note about work[ing] this way is the fact [that it] is easy [to] do an instant repaint. All you need to do is change the flat colors layer. The rest is already done!
For example, take a look on this "Burning Alternator". I prepared this repaint in 2 minutes:
I hope you like it! Bye!

Federal agriculture officials say New York's strawberry crop took a hit last year, but blueberry production was up.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says strawberry production dropped to 3.2 million pounds, down 11 percent from 2011. Many farms reported shortened seasons because of a snap of cold weather that generally hit early crops around the state.
New York is the eighth largest producer of strawberries in the country. The value of its crop dropped to $6.88 million in 2012, 19 percent below 2011. Nationally, strawberry production was up 4 percent.
The state's blueberry harvest was 2 million pounds, up 5 percent from a year earlier, but the value of the crop dropped 2 percent to $3.96 million. The U.S. harvest was up 7 percent.

Robert Zaretsky: The Changing Symbolism of the BastilleRoundup: Talking About History
Robert Zaretsky teaches French history at the Honors College of the University of Houston and is coauthor of France and its Empire Since 1870.
It was no surprise, of course, whenFrance'snew Socialist president, Francois Hollande, celebrated his election over the weekend at the Place de la Bastille. Once the site of the nation's most notorious prison, the square has long been the place that French leftists proclaim their victories. But while many commentators noted the symbolic importance of the Bastille, they overlook how this symbol has changed over time — a transformation that may hold a lesson for President-elect Hollande.
When a large crowd attacked and took the Bastille on July 14, 1789, the French Revolution was launched. That the prison held no political prisoners but instead a mere half-dozen petty criminals and lunatics, and that the crowd marked the event by chopping off and displaying the heads of two government officials, did little to mute the festive atmosphere.
On the contrary. Overnight, the Bastille became Paris' most successful tourist attraction. The decapitated heads were still fresh on the ends of the revolutionaries' pikes when Pierre-Francois Palloy, a wealthy businessman, with a work crew nearly as large as the crowd that stormed the Bastille, began leveling the medieval pile. Once razed, the prison's iron, brick and wood detritus was transmuted into souvenirs, including inkwells, domino sets, snuff boxes and daggers.
Even after the prison was gone, tourists from France and abroad surged to the rubble-strewn field where the Bastille once stood. One year after its destruction, Palloy held a celebratory ball among the ruins at which Parisians quite literally danced on the grave of the old regime. Uncertain what to do with the vast space, the revolutionary government let it go to romantic seed. If the revolution was indeed a return to the natural order of things, what better proof than the shrubs, flowers and weeds that began to sprout amid the scattered stones at the site?..

maybe blood red black or crimson
I like the color black since it is so natural. the night sky is black, so is my hair. I like my hair.
Black isn't a color. It is the absence of color! >O Technically. Lol. I'm just messing around.
Anyway... My favorites are moss green, soft violet, grey, straw, and white. A lot. Haha. But they're my favorites. :D
Maroon, Gray, Black and Cyan.
Not very many reasons though, I just like them.
Black, Red, Darkish Grey, and Green.
My favorite colors are: green, purple, red, black, and silver.
Blue becuase it's calming, peaceful, and it goes well with every color.
My favorite colors are mainly pink, red, blue and violet! ^_^
Black...just because...it hides me well..
Purple, Red, Gold. <3
Other favs include baby pink, aquamarine blue, red, silver and purple, hee hee ^^
Luv Angel Eyes

Well first of all I like all colours. And normally I don't prefer one more than an other. But I'll always stick with yellow, that because it was my favourite when I was younger ( I noticed back then that nobody liked yellow that much and I still notice not many here do either v_v? why xD). and I still like it, it's bright and can be soft (soft yellow), it's also a colour that'sin fire and that gives a feeling of power or something.. yellow is just mighty for me and it stands out ^_^

- Reuters•3 years agoIndia anti-graft party shelves foreign supermarket entry into Delhi
The newly elected provincial government in India's national capital on Monday barred foreign supermarkets from setting up shop, a blow to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's efforts to attract overseas investment and revive the economy. Singh had thrown open the country's $500 billion retail industry to foreign investors in late 2012, allowing companies such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Tesco PLC to own a majority stake in local chains for the first time. But the policy was pushed through in the teeth of fierce opposition from domestic retailers and political parties, who said it would cause mass job losses in a sector that is mostly dominated by small, family run shops. Moreover, strict sourcing norms and a requirement that companies must ask permission from local state governments before opening stores have made most supermarket giants wary.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.5 /5 from 404 reviews
not very good. Staff were rude and abrupt. Not very helpful. Too many functions going on in the hotel and the staff pushed us out of the way in a rude manner. The food was below average. Twice we were approached for payment whilst at the Atrium when we had not finished. We were made to fell as if the hotel only wanted money and quickly. We do not expect that from a 5 star rated hotel. You have lost the old class that the Regent hotel had. Its a shame.
Stopped here as it was close to Rod Laver arena . Perfect spot and close to shops etc
Great location for restaurants, trams and shopping in Melbourne.
This location is very convenient in the CBD, close to Parliament & Fitzroy Gardens. It was easy to get anywhere on Melbourne from the Sofitel. Plenty of restaurant options short walking distance. The room was very comfortable and I selected a Bay view. It was a spectacular panorama booth morning & night. Front desk staff was very helpful. And the concierge was fantastic, so knowledgeable and friendly!! Highly recommend.
Amazing experience. Great location near Collins and flinders land eateries and bars. Amazing view and service. Room slightly dated. But that amazing view from our corner suite more then overshadowed that. Highly recommended
