Unlimi-Tech applets provide the ability to embed full-featured FTP clients and file transfer managers into a webpage. This allows end users to transfer files without the need to install or configure additional software.
Embed an FTP interface directly into your web page, enabling 2-way transfers without leaving the browser. Imagine: you will never have to explain how to configure an FTP client again. Add the UnlimitedFTP Servlet to your solution, and firewall issues also disappear.
Download multiple files with a single mouse click. Use dynamic web languages such as PHP for file selection, or assign a permanent set of files to the button. HTTP(S) allows the download to bypass all but the strictest firewalls, and redirection enables integration with a web application.
With update 7u45 Java announced its intention to introduce new security requirements in an upcoming release by adding the following warning in yellow "This application will be blocked in a future Java security update because the JAR file manifest does not contain the Permissions attribute"
As of March 12th, 2013 all older Java Applets versions published by Unlimi-Tech will stop working. An upgrade is required to keep these applets working error free after this date.
All Java Applets including, UnlimitedFTP, UUpload and UDownload have been updated.
Updates include:
When a FileCatalyst applet is loaded in a user's computer the Internet Explorer 9 may show following warning: "FileCatalyst wants to use an old version of java (1.6.0_18) that is not installed on your system. We recommend running this application with the latest version of Java on your computer".
This is caused by IE not being not able to properly interpret certain components of JavsScript code. To fix this problem a small change should be made to applet configuration file (for example fcdownload.js).

Keep up this regular speed and you'll be fucking incredible by 16. Awesome.
Ok, sorry for the late update, here´s my reason: I was on family holliday
up north for a week, supposed to b a ski-trip but instead of snow, i rained
But as i was fighing the boredom i came across the "sky shark" concept
(look above this post) and i couldnt get it out of my head, so I decided to
delve more into his "domain" and started to create a world for this massive
beast! (I know u might think; oh my god what a fanatic geek but hey, i
was bored to death)
So i planned the basics, the world is called PIRAKHA and its filled with air
floating sea-demons with wings. The atmosphere is filled with a substance
similliar to Helium (not so explosive) so it makes it a little more possibe to
belive that there are giant monsters floating in the air Iv only planned
out 2 "factions" or "races"
Wich is:
This people are men who lives near the sea, they are the masters
of the "Myrmiadons" wich are the beasts that reflects the sharks and
mantas. A man from this race of men is not a man unless he has his own
Myrmida (shark), wich is given to aquillioneer when he reaches the age of
10 winters. This is a holy ritual for the aquillioneers, the boy and the
myrmida enters a pool surrounded by family members and close friends,
then the boy cuts off the myrmidas center finn (the wing ontop of its back)
and places himself ontop of the myrmida, the boy is now "the myrmidas steering finn", and only he can now step up and ride this beast.
This is a ritual all Aquillioneers has to go through.
Their religion is similiar to paganism, they have difrent gods wich grants
diffrents powers and abbilities. Their main god is Myrmillo and is the god of
war. Their armour and arsenal is made from a light metal found in mines that delves deep into caves underneath their main city and capital of
Armadilla. Its inspired by their ancient tradditions. Their weapon is often a blade and blunderbuss wich carries 12 shells filled with a liquid substance
that explodes during impact.
a spotted Aquillioneer scout:
two Aquillioneer officers leads the way:
These people are men who lives up in the highest mountains, or floating
cities. They want to come as close to the sky as possible, for them the sky
is holy ground. Their gods are the moon and the sun. These people ride the
winged beasts that roam the mountaintops, they are called the "Bhanteas"
or "Bhantas". The kirgiths are divided in diffrent tribes, each has its own
emblem. This people have no land since they say the sky is our homeland,
only the lesser and poor classes of the society live on high mountain tops
and cliffs since they cant afford protection in the giant floating cities, that
roam the sky like giant stormclouds. They are famed by their long hats
wich indicates the wisedom, experience or knowledge of a kirgith tribe
man. Their tribe leaders have the famous twosplit hat, wich instead of one
theres two tails on his hat. The mighty Sky whales are often tamed and
taken away by the kirgith tribes, and then used as transportation and
giant war machines. The war machines are equipped with pulse cannons
and chain rifles from head to toe. A War-whale is often reffered as a
floating fortress. These people are masters of ballistics and rarely uses
other weapons than their firearm. Only a few tribes has a traddition of
using blades as their sworn enemy, Myrmillos use.

wow, cant belive you are 14 !
how long did you spend on each of em ?
nice work, very nice armor on the first one!
Another PIRAKHA thingy:
These are tribes of thiefs and madmen, roaming the sky in airships and
giant zepplins. Few pirates has learned the ability to tame a Bhanta or a
Myrmida so they stick to ships. They plunder and steal from merchants as
well from warships. Any ship worth raiding is a target. These men are often
outcast from cities or banned from their homelands. They gather at taverns
and slum districts of lowlife cities, planning their next assault, or telling
horrible tales of monsters and overnatural things. These men dont have a homeland, but are scattered all over neutral terretories. Their arsenal
consist of firearms, swords, shields, power bows ...ect.. They muster everything they can loot or scavenge from their victims.

PS: don´t hessitate replying. i love to hear inputs
Here´s a picture of the ritual that links the Aquillioneer to his Myrmiadon

Here´s a sketch of the daily life of a kirgith peasant.

The only people known to mine into the earth in Pirakha is the Aquillioneers.
They have lots of minerals and metal stored deep down underneath the sea cliffs, where they live.
Quick sketch of a mine entrance:
i feel so alone here in my thread... maybe i should consider joining a ssg...
Man, you're amazing! I wish I was as good as you...
I'm pretty jealous (I'm 15, and you're a lot better than me).
The only problem that I saw (wasn't that serious) was the profile views seemed a little messed up, but I couldn't pinpoint. Don't worry though... I suck at those too.

My Sketchbook << Critique me!
Zac Miley.
Just too many sketcbooks to follow them all! Don't give up though, just keep posting and you will get more replies.
I was watching your sketchbook, I think the latter images are stronger, i really like that last one (the minning facility), even though it is such a simple sketch.
I also like that stuff of the pirates in the flying sharks (the ones they are actually ridding the sharks).
Keep it up!
YaY, replies!
Asoir - Thanks dude =)
Dile- Thanks, about 1 hour each i think... maybe more maybe less...
Ender- Thank you, sir
Zacharias Milarias - appreciate ur reply dude, yeah i know... my profile skills arent my best...
Voraz - Thanks 8) im surprised u liked the mining sketch best... i think i really suck at eviorment
Not because you're just 14 years old.But if you would have had been as old as me,Still this art would ahve looks so good for your age.
Kid you got some talent .Dont let it go.Kee with it.
I am serious about it.I am telling this to you cuz I had friends like you who were so good at art,but they just drove away from it all at almost the same age as yours because they wanted to focus on academics.They lost the most precious thing to them ,probably the only thing they enjoyed doing.
Keep with it.
NEW SketchbooK
My Finished Paintings(TIGHTropE)
14?! you must be kidding me...jeez keep 'em coming, you're really good.Keep on the good way and you'll get really great.
You've surely been working a lot on the BG and the concepts for this story, just love the idea of shark-riding-knights...really great stuff!
And those WW2 drawing, there really good.Even the older sketches, man, the bear dude just rocks!
jesus christ... at 14 your better than some people will ever be. *cough* myself *cough*
btw the bear loos like a diablo2 character or wow.. u play?
Oh my...! You have some -amazing- talent for your age, and even more than that. Don't ever stop drawing, if your characters look as they are now (interesting concepts, nice ideas... they're really awesome), I can't wait to see how it'll look if you keep on sketching.
This has probably been said before, but I'd love to see some real life stuides. Even if drawing from imagination is so much more fun, you learn a lot by watching things and try to put them on paper. Draw everything you see - people on the street, watch how they move, their anatomy and so on. Look at shadows, how the light reflects on different objects, etc.
Really great stuff however, please keep posting!
Ok, here´s a new faction for the Pirakha theme:
Sha Kingdom:
Sha Kingdom streches from the far east to the far west , they are the
people who live on the ground. They have no tradition of breeding sky
beast. Their way of transportation is wheicles and air ships as well as boats
for sea travell. They are masters in technology and industrialisation.
They are mostly known for their weapon industry. It was they who first
invented the gunpowder and the revolutionary plasma shell ammunition
which later on was bought up by the Aquillioneers, and was quickly replaced
as the official ammunition for their 12mm blunderbuss sidearm.
This people usualy live in peace, when their not in war with the local
pirates or rebels. They have a wide culture with lots of local religions, this,
unfortunatly, often leads to conflict within the capital, Shaacra.
Il update som more info on this faction later...
Here´s a quick sketch of their main capital, Shaacra.
Here´s another quick one. Of the crowded streets of Shaacra
Nice update wolfbane, love the first sketch in this last post!
keep on going dude!
Another Pirakha concept update, and yet another faction:
Middle-earth has its orcs, Pirakha has its Barokhs. These dreadfull
men live deep into forested areas in the Sha kingdom. They are just
as primitive as they are strong. A full grown Barokh man can grow up to
2.3 meters and weigh up to 200kg. They are a savage people that live of
the nature. They are divided up into diffrent tribes and clans. They belive in
the spirit of the forest and the power of the nature. They have shamans
that uses urbs and natural plants as medicine and to make potions to cure
diseases and to grant diffrent abilities such as an eternal life and super
human strenght. This is ofcourse just myth, though that some belive that
the shamans has some kind of super natural abilities. A clan is leaded by a
chieftan. This male is the biggest and strongest male of the clan. This he
has proven by defeating countless enemies and defeating the previous chief
in a pit fight. The strongest men of the tribe is often made into Barokh
Berserkers. These men are the silver-back gorillas of the clan. They go to
war with a club, hammer or often just with their bare hands. They are the
most dreaded members of the clan, as there has been observations of
berserkers feasting on other lower classed Barokhs. To become a berserker
u have to go through a ceremony the Barokhs call Barad-Okh wich means
reborn. The huge man walks up to the clans shaman, then the shaman
preforms a ritual. He then calls up the spirits af the nature to grant these
men unlimited power and duration. He slaps the man with a claw from a
forest bear, wich the Barokhs say has special powers, this claw is
consumed with a poison from a toxic spider. The effect of the poison is
intoxicating and works as a drug. The mans muscels expand and his cells
regenerate three times the speed as a normal human beeing, in other
words, he can take allmost three times the damage a man can take.
A leathal wound for a man would b just a scratch for a Barokh berserker.
The man rises as a war machine who is intoxicated with the sence of blood,
he feel no pain and is fearless. He bowed as a man, rised as a beast.
The primitive village of a Barokh clan. (notice the chieftans house is on the
highest ground, and often in the center of the village)
Barad-Okh ritual. 2 Men face the respected shaman in the hope of becoming a Barokh Berserker.
Bhanu - Thanks for the compliments man! Iv been drawing all my life and i will continue drawing to the day i die, no matter how much academics that comes in the way... Besides, i want to study art and illustration further in the future so thats not really a problem for me

I worked at Crytek full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – - Great talent and colleagues in the trenches. Especially on programming and art
- Great engine
- One of only two or three AAA developers in continental Europe
- An excellent place to learn what it takes to ship a big, multi-platform title
Cons – - Executive management has consistently shown their lack of business acumen by not having a clear strategy for the company for years. This resulted multiple times in changes in direction, rework, overtime and missed objectives
- Hardcore crunching at Crytek is common currency. It's not just "some overtime" to meet important milestones, it's a terrifying mandated lifestyle and a culture of quantity, not quality. Understandably, this results in a cyclical exodus of inordinate amounts of talent
- Salaries, benefits and perks are significantly below par for a AAA studio in the games industry
- Only a handful of good producers and scores of incompetent managers make development far more difficult than it needs to be
Advice to Senior Management – - Remember that your employees are human beings and your most important asset
- Try to foster a healthy corporate culture by training your employees, being honest with them about issues, investing in leadership development and effective delegation and getting rid of highly disruptive employees
- Don't pay your employees the bare minimum. Try to pay them what they're worth
- Develop a business strategy and try to stick to it
- Try not to alienate your business partners. They have the same goals as you do. Try to work with them, not despite them
- Hold yourselves accountable
- Train yourselves as leaders worth following
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

A lawsuit was filed in federal district court today against the first significant update to environmental protection standards at Lake Tahoe since 1987.
The deadline for challenges to the plan was midnight Tuesday.
The plaintiffs, the Sierra Club and the Friends of the West Shore, filed suit against the updates to the Lake Tahoe Regional Plan that were approved by the TRPA Governing Board in December.
TRPA Executive Director Joanne Marchetta said the Sierra Club's action goes against current scientific and sustainability principles, including those that the National Sierra Club has endorsed in published reports, and delays policy improvements needed …

We have chosen the funniest, craziest and most impressive things that happened on the Internet in 2013. Here are the stories behind them.
We have a bunch of limited edition t-shirts featuring illustrations from 20Things artists Brosmind to give to fans of 20Things.
We want much more than that. You'll need to pay with your creative efforts as we'll be creating special tasks for you to complete in exchange for t-shirts.
Each task will only be open for a short while, so check our Twitter account for announcements and be ready!
Task 1
In honour of the Post-it - Evernote partnership (thing 8) We are asking you to create a pixel art composition made from Post-it notes of one of the 20 things.
We want to see your creativity so make them big! Tweet us a photo of your creation (bonus points for use of colour) and remember to use the hashtag #20things when you post it. Everyone who completes the task before it closes gets a t-shirt!
Task 2
Dove used a professional sketch artist to prove just how beautiful we all are (thing 18). Now its your turn.
Tweet us a hand-drawn self portrait showing us just how beautiful you are. Don't forget to use the hastag #20things and please note that we want real portraits here, stick drawings will not be accepted!
Task 3
Jean Claude Van Damme's efforts between two volvo trucks really took the internet by storm (thing 18). Can you do the same? If you think you can tweet us a video or photo (youtube/instagram/twitter) of yourself doing the splits to prove it (not between two trucks obviously). Include the #20things hashtag in your video/video to let us know its legit!
Task 4
Some were unwittingly fooled into destroying their phones in 2013. Are you willing to take that risk for a t-shirt?
Tweet us a video (vine/instagram/youtube) of a working mobile phone being dropped in water and you will have earned a t-shirt.
Don't forget to include the hastag #20things in your submission so we know its the real deal!
Task 5
We're Bowie fans here and we loved Captian Hadfields rendition of Space Oddity (thing 2). But what we'd really like is to hear you play it for us.
If you've got an instrument and know at least the first verse, get yourself onto a Google Hangout On Air right now and tweet us a link to it. We can't wait to hear you!
Don't forget to use the hastag #20things
Task 6
There is a lot of mystery around the revelations that the NSA hacked German Chancellor Angela merkel's phone? (thing 5). What do you think they heard her saying? Perhaps an order for pizza? Compaining to the power company? How about you tell us? Call this number (+44) 0203 206 4120 right now and leave us your best Angela Merkel impersonation.
This year's illustration is by Brosmind Studio which is made up of brothers Juan and Alejandro Mingarro. Their style is optimistic, often with a touch of humour. They use a mix of analogue and digital techniques involving lots of hand-drawn sketching to produce the finished illustration.

Washington, D.C. -
04/16/2013 - Christopher Mann, director with The Pew Charitable Trusts' environmental program, issued the following statement today in response to the federal government's release of the implementation plan for the National Ocean Policy. That policy, established by executive order in July 2010, directs federal agencies to use their authority under existing law to protect, maintain, and restore the health of marine ecosystems, and to promote sustainable use and development of marine resources. "Pew commends the Obama Administration on today's release of the implementation plan for the National Ocean Policy. In the plan released today, the many federal agencies with ocean management responsibilities have identified and committed to concrete actions and deadlines in and on the water to protect and restore marine resources and the coastal communities that depend on them. This is a major milestone in moving the United States toward ecosystem-based management and sustainable use of its marine resources. "Until now, ocean management in the United States has built up layer upon layer of narrow, single-purpose laws and programs spanning many decades. The problem has been compounded by increasing demands on our oceans for food, renewable and nonrenewable energy production, and recreation. "The National Ocean Policy implementation plan provides a blueprint under which federal agencies will work closely together, and with the states and Native American tribes, to produce tangible improvements in marine environmental quality, marine resource productivity, and sustainable use of ocean resources. These are the pillars on which healthy oceans and vibrant coastal economies are built."

Hi Muzikliluvnlife,
Yes, I was lucky to see a Munch in an exhibition that took place in Barcelona more than 20 years ago! It was a cultural trip at secondary school and there were all his great paintings, including The Scream. I had no idea who Munch was and when I saw his art, and this painting in particular, I get shocked. I was delighted and since then The Scream has followed me everywhere.
One of my dreams is to visit the Munch Museum in Oslo. Practically all his work is in Norway and only in very few occasions they lent, for a very brief time, some paintings to other countries, so I guess it is very difficult to see him unless you travel to his native country.
Ana Mena
Dear all,
I am here 'cos I adore Lenny's music, he is really inspiring and to see him in live concert is a pleasure.
Besides him, I also like Pet Shop Boys, HIM, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Christina Rosenvinge, etc.
Apart from Music, I love Art (my profile The Scream is a passion for me), Literature (Oscar Wilde is my dearest author) and Animals (haven't got children so my dog The Great Gatsby is my joy)
And last, but not least, I Love my Family and Friends (Miriam, the sunflower of this website, is one of my ever best friends).
Let Love Rule!
Ana M.
Hi Muzikliluvnlife,
Dear all,
Thanks very much for your greetings. I am very glad to have new friends like you and share our common denominator: the great LK.
Yes, Muzikliluvnlife, I am a great admirer of Munch and his work. I love his paintings since I was young and "The Scream" is such a masterpiece! It expresses me a lot.
We keep in touch.
Hi all LK lovers,
I am new in the website though very huge fan of Lenny since long time ago. I'm from Barcelona and I look very much forward to reading you all. I will learn for sure many things from you and will be delighted to read your experiences, opinions, thoughts, etc related to our LK world.
Let Love Rule!

My recent upgrades and future upgrades.
Okay so I've recently put a PowerAid throttler body spacer on my truck and a Volant cold air intake. Next I'm looking at a Diablo Trinity tune and a aftermarket cam shaft. I'm waiting to around Christmas to get the tuner but I was wondering if I put the cam on my truck before I got the tuner how would it run? Would the current computer fubar it up? Also the Trinity could go in and over ride my RPM limiter or O2 sensor's? If not what programer would be best for by passing current limits on my truck?
Any brands of cams I should go with?02 Silverado 2500hd|496ci bigblock|Botch fuel pump replacement|True dual Magnaflows|UV-10 Jensen head unit|All four speaker Kickers|Kicker tweeters|10in Kicker sub|250watt Kicker Amp|Volant Cold Airintake|PowerAid Throttle Body Spacer|33in Nitto Trail Grapplers|8000k Hid Halo Lights

Like any good journalist, I left the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts' Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition with few notes on the show, but a page filled with DIY jewellery and clothing ideas.
I'm not a particularly crafty person. My sewing machine has sat broken in my parents' basement for about two years now, next to a dress I never got around to mending. Yet, standing in the same room as haute couture creations for the first time in my life, I decided I might have it in me to make some Gaultier-inspired creations of my own.
(As it turns out, I don't. I'd hoped to include a photo of my metal sponge-turned-necklace here, but it's too embarrassing and the sponge is now sulking under a pile of dirty dishes in my sink.)
I think what inspired my temporary delusion was that many of Gaultier's materials, particularly in the punk- and urban-inspired portions of the show, were surprisingly accessible. And that's what makes them so impressive — not just anyone can turn a garbage bag into a dress and scouring pads into wearable jewellery. Huh.
The exhibition features more than 140 outfits from Gaultier's couture collections and prêt-à-porter lines. Rather than calling it a retrospective, Gaultier considers the show a creation in its own right. A variety of multimedia and photographs accompany the clothing.
Whether you're a fan of the designer or not, it really is incredible to stand with your nose inches away from pieces that took hundreds, sometimes thousands, of hours to create by hand. Even to someone with my very limited knowledge of haute couture, the beauty and craftsmanship of the pieces is breathtaking.
(Also fun: the mannequins have moving faces and occasionally speak.)
The show does a good job of tracing the designer's creative development alongside significant shifts in societal norms. I particularly liked the section that examines blurring gender roles and features skirts and corsets for men.
If you want to catch The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, it's at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts until October 2. After that, it will travel to the Dallas Museum of Art and then to the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, before going to Madrid in 2012.

LINCOLN — It's probably, on most possessions, a few feet or an extra pass. Subtle tweaks to the Nebraska women's basketball team's offense.
But those tweaks have a well-known name in basketball circles — "the Princeton offense" — and have had a positive effect on the Huskers, especially in their run to the Sweet 16.
"It's been really helpful, honestly," junior All-Big Ten forward Jordan Hooper said.
NU's technical name for the high-post, cutting attack, point guard Lindsey Moore said, is "slice." It might as well be "patience." Coach Connie Yori switched from a true motion offense — like the one Husker men's coach Tim Miles employs — to more of a structured set to "basically demand a ball reversal," Yori said.
That's because Nebraska wasn't doing much of it last season. Even as the Huskers averaged more than 70 points per game, they were shooting contested 3-pointers too quickly, Yori said, and not forcing the defense to work for an entire possession.
"We only had a handful of times all season where we got late in the shot clock," she said.
Too often putting Hooper and Emily Cady in the low post created passing angles that Nebraska guards declined to take. They bombed away instead. The team shot 24 3-pointers per game in Big Ten play last season, and made 6.75 (28 percent) of them.
In 2013, NU took 20 3-pointers per game in Big Ten play, making 6.5 (32 percent). That's essentially the same 3-point offense with four fewer shots.
Where did the extra shots go? Mid-range jumpers by freshman Rachel Theriot off screens — she shot 46 percent in league play — and layups at the basket.
With Hooper and/or Cady operating out of a high-post set, Nebraska has been able to clear the baseline for backdoor passes and Moore's drive-and-dish plays that knocked out Texas A&M in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Occasionally, Hooper and Cady slip behind the fronting defense, catch a lob pass from Moore and get a point-blank look.
"We are a pretty good team at reading screens," Moore said. "It's a good offense for us to be in, because it makes the defense really have to talk and it makes them have to figure out what they want to do on screens. And whatever they do, we adjust to that."
In recent years, Moore said, Nebraska's motion offense could get "stagnant." Though the motion system — popularized by former Indiana men's coach Bob Knight — theoretically has infinite variations depending on the defense, the Huskers' attack last season often resembled a game of cold potato, where Moore held the ball until some teammate made a vague move resembling a cut.
The Princeton system gives Hooper, Cady and others more of a clear directive. It can also burn overplaying, aggressive help defenses by hitting passes behind them. When Moore drives, teammates "rip to the baseline," Hooper said, and go to the basket.
If the post helps on Moore, she passes to a cutter. If not, Moore generally gets to the basket, where she has repeatedly finished layups.
In the win at A&M, Moore made three layups and four free throws off of fouls on layup attempts. Then, at the end of the game, she twice hit sophomore forward Hailie Sample for layups when Aggie center Kelsey Bone slid over to help on defense.
A&M coach Gary Blair told Bone not to help, but considering Moore had already scored 10 of her eventual 20 points on plays at the hoop, that was advice easier said than taken.
"We knew that we'd see pressure defense, so we knew putting in this offense and lifting everyone high was going to be a really good thing for that," Moore said. "We just had to have the mindset that we're going to back cut, and as a passer you just have to be patient."
NOTES: Yori said in an interview Friday that Nebraska had two good days of practice Wednesday and Thursday in preparing for Duke. The Huskers practiced again Friday in Lincoln before leaving for Norfolk, Va. The Huskers will be the last team Saturday to hold their press conference (2:45 p.m.) and practice (3:30) at the Ted Constant Convocation Center.

This USA Fan Was A Hit
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
While the African winter might be robbing us of scantily-clad female World Cup fans, a few have trickled out here and there. The most "famous" being the Paraguayan fan who stored her cellphone in a conspicuous place. However, the United States has a contender as well. The lady leading this post was seen at today's US/Algeria game, and one thing's for sure, ESPN loves her.
No, I don't know her name, but I'm not sure that's even important.
When you add her to the joy of the Landon Donovan goal, and you've got a pretty damn successful day for the United States. Here're a few more pics for you to enjoy:
The US was also represented nicely by these two ladies, but the brunette with the painted flag won the day, much like Donovan's awesome goal.

THE MAYORAL TOUR: This week we do something a little different on KCWIR. We ask Mayor Sly James to return to a neglected Kansas City neighborhood he toured as a candidate to see what he's done to improve things more than a year after taking office.
HOW SATISFIED ARE YOU WITH YOUR CITY GOVERNMENT?: The numbers are in on how well your elected officials are doing to deliver basic services and how you rate their leadership.
STREETCAR VOTE: It's a $100 million public project. So why won't you get to vote on it at the ballot box? Why the city has chosen to yank streetcars the November ballot and make it a mail-in election.

Henrico to celebrate rehabilitation, sale of home on Fayette Avenue
A rehabilitated home at 629 Fayette Ave. will be sold this month to a first-time homebuyer following an extensive improvement project guided by Henrico County.
Representatives of the Henrico Department of Community Revitalization, Southside Community Development & Housing Corp., Better Housing Coalition and others will gather at the home on Thursday, Nov. 15 to celebrate its transformation.
The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will feature tours of the property and remarks by project leaders, Fairfield District Supervisor Frank J. Thornton and Marie Bailey, who is scheduled to buy the home. The 1,576-square-foot, ranch-style property was built in 1953 in the Fayette Park subdivision, off Richmond-Henrico Turnpike near Richmond International Raceway.
Southside Community Development & Housing Corp., a nonprofit community development corporation, bought the vacant and dilapidated home in foreclosure for $30,000, using funds provided to Henrico by the federal HOME program, which supports efforts to create housing for individuals with low and moderate incomes. Better Housing Coalition was hired as a contractor and recently completed more than $70,000 in improvements.
The rehabilitation project highlights Henrico's approach to using HOME funds, a portion of which is set aside to help first-time homebuyers. With the Fayette Avenue project, the Department of Community Revitalization focused on a vacant property that had become blighted and a persistent challenge for the community and the county.

'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Integrating UX Design into Agile Software Development

The Magic of Mobile Money Identification
By Jennifer Sutton
Full text - members only (PDF 958Kb) (HTML)
Have you ever wondered how blind people identify U.S. bills without help? Most people never give it a thought. The blind can definitely learn to recognize coins by sound and touch; but U.S. bills are an entirely different matter.
For about twenty years, many in the blind community have attempted to convince the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) to make bills independently identifiable by blind and visually-impaired people. Some possible methods include different sizes, tactile markings, and different colors. You may have noticed this in other countries and wondered why all U.S. paper currency looks the same.
In 2011, the U.S. Treasury Department was among those who took an exciting step to address this issue, at least for iPhone users. iPhone users can now use three different applications (apps) to identify bills. Accessing these easy and inexpensive money identification apps using mobile devices is certainly a step in the right direction.
Successfully identifying my change gives me independence and it is liberating not to have to rely on others when handling cash.
The Fate of a Digital Slate
By Indrani Medhi, Anuj Tewari, Mohit Jain, and Edward Cutrell
Full text - members only (PDF 1.01Mb) (HTML)
As many UX professionals know, unexpected issues seen in the context of actual deployment can trump an initial rosy impression about the usability of a system. These surprises can be especially dramatic when working in the area of ICT4D (Information and Communication Technology for Socio-Economic Development). We describe a case study of the deployment of a prototype low-cost digital slate for assisting the tracking of child malnutrition in rural India. Our prototype uses an ink pen and normal paper coupled with an interactive touch screen that allows for a fairly seamless transition from older, paper-based systems to the recording of digital information. This was designed for people who have little or no experience working with digital systems beyond simple cellular phones or calculators.
In the initial training and evaluation of the system with 10 low-income, low-literate, rural health workers in central India, it looked like an unqualified success. However, in a three-month follow-up field trial with the same users, we encountered a number of unexpected challenges that overwhelmed our initial optimism. This experience demonstrates that we must pay a great deal of attention to issues well beyond simple usability to broader socio-technical concerns that arise in situating these systems into real-world settings.
Home Front Help

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has engaged family caregivers of seriously injured veterans in defining requirements for applications that will be part of a pilot project called Clinic-in-Hand. Caregivers were recruited for participatory design sessions in which they identified capabilities such as electronic journaling and access to the veteran's electronic health records, designed to help them to take better care of their loved ones. A different group of caregivers was recruited to conduct usability assessments of the same designs, and final models were provided as a set of visual requirements to a development team.
This collaborative effort was productive for everyone involved. The caregivers, not VA, determined the capabilities that were most important to them and designed the user interfaces. Because of caregivers' direct involvement in both design and usability testing, VA has a higher degree of certainty that the applications will meet their needs.

Responding to natural and man-made disasters, humanitarian aid agencies provide needed resources: food, clothing, blankets, and shelter. But when markets are still functioning, cash may be the best aid, giving people dignity and flexibility in meeting their needs. Enter mobile money. Instead of the complex problem of moving currency, aid agencies using mobile money systems have found that mobile money systems offer a promising way to deliver aid with speed, precision and flexibility even in challenging environments.
This article summarizes the experiences of agencies in Kenya, Niger, Haiti, Cote d'Ivoire and Philippines, and reviews the benefits and challenges of using mobile money systems in humanitarian response. An intriguing benefit is the use of the crisis to introduce people to financial systems, which, if people continue to use, will result in the benefits of aid going well beyond the immediate crisis.
Mobile Data Collection
By William Souza & Karla Okada
Full text - members only (PDF 646Kb) (HTML)
Traditional data collection techniques such as pen-and-paper solutions can be time-consuming and present several drawbacks related to data accuracy, especially when used in field research. One way to improve this process is through use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as mobile phones and computers. ICTs allow users to digitally access, create, store, transmit and manipulate information on the go, saving time and minimizing errors.
The Nokia Data Gathering application is a comprehensive data collection solution that allows organizations to replace paper-based processes with mobile-based solutions. This article discusses the application and its workflow, design challenges, and concludes with a section entitled, "Is Nokia Data Gathering Right for Me?"

text: Beverage-and-food pairings have been done up the wazoo. That's why we love charming new local blog Turntable Kitchen, where husband-and-wife authors Kasey and Matthew Hickey marry recipes with tunes that set the mood. Just in time for your New Year's party, here's a duo of simple appetizers from Kasey (visit the site to find Matt's We Are Trees accompaniment). The combo will make your guests sit up and listen. Caramelized Canape Duo Makes about 30 canapes Ingredients For the caramelized apples: 4 apples, peeled, cored, and diced into small cubes 2 tbsp. butter 2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 tsp. whiskey (optional) ½ cup brown sugar For the caramelized onions: 3 large onions 3 tbsp. butter 1 tbsp. sugar Salt and pepper to taste For the shells and toppings: 3 sheets store-bought puff pastry 5 oz. crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese Creme fraiche for topping (optional) Make the caramelized apple topping: 1. Swirl butter in large nonstick pan and heat over medium until fragrant and beginning to brown. 2. Add brown sugar, then diced apples. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for a few minutes. 4. Add cinnamon, vanilla extract, and whiskey. Cook, continuing to stir, for a few more minutes. 5. Raise heat to medium high and cook for about 5 minutes, until sauce bubbles and begins to thicken (and apples have softened). Remove from heat and set aside. Make the caramelized onion topping: 1. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. 2. Stir in onion, coating it well with butter. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and continue stirring for about 10 minutes. 3. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 30-35 minutes, until onions have evenly browned. 4. Raise heat to high and add sugar. Stir and cook for another couple of minutes, then remove from heat and set aside. Make the shells and assemble the canapes: 1. Defrost sheet of store-bought puff pastry on a large cutting board. 2. Preheat oven to 400°. 3. Cut puff pastry into small circles using a 2-inch cookie or biscuit cutter and place circles on a lined baking sheet. Bake puff pastries for about 15 minutes, until puffed and golden. Repeat with 2 more sheets of dough. 4. Let puff pastries cool. Press gently to flatten their surface if uneven. 5. Top half of the circles with about 2 teaspoons of crumbled blue cheese (or goat cheese) and 1 tablespoon of caramelized onions. 6. Top the other half with about 1 tablespoon of caramelized apples and drizzle with a bit of creme fraiche. Turntable Kitchen, online at turntablekitchen.com. Photo: Courtesy of Turntable Kitchen

DareDevils seal easy victory
A magnificent 86 from Gautam Gambhir powered the Delhi DareDevils to a 10 run victory over the Bangalore Royal Challengers at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi.
Chasing a target of 192, the Challengers could only make 181 for five wickets from 20 overs at the full-capacity Ferozeshah Kotla Stadium.
The Daredevils moved to the second spot in the IPL standings after their third victory from four matches while the Royal Challengers' misery continued as they were left languishing at the bottom of the standings of the eight-team league after four losses from five matches.
Gambhir, who struck 86 off 54 balls, was the hero of the day as he helped the Daredevils post a challenging total. Shikhar Dhawan with his well-struck 50 from 33 deliveries gave him support as the Delhi team rediscovered their momentum after losing their last match against Kings XI Punjab in Mohali on Sunday night .
Chasing 192 was always going to be tough for the visitors and they failed to get a good partnership going. Jacques Kallis was the top scorer with 54 while skipper Rahul Dravid made 38.
For the Daredevils, Glenn McGrath (4-29) was the top performer with the ball.
Put into bat, the stage was set for Daredevils batsmen to fire on a good batting track. Much was expected from Daredevils skipper Virender Sehwag (24) who shone albeit momentarily.
Gambhir started the fireworks in the second over as he hit Zaheer Khan for three consecutive boundaries. In the next over, he was again severe on South African pacer Dale Steyn, hitting the pacer for two sweetly-timed boundaries.
Gambhir's big hits inspired Sehwag and again Zaheer was on the firing line. Sehwag spanked his first three deliveries for 6, 4 and 4 to get the partisan crowd swaying.
The Kotla track is never known to assist seamers and by now Dravid that his decision to bowl first had backfired.
The Challengers skipper replaced Zaheer with Vinay Kumar but the result was the same, as he could not find any solution to stop the Daredevils openers from playing their shots.
It was the fielders who gave the Bangalore team their first breakthrough when Ross Taylor's direct throw from point found Sehwag short of ground in the fifth over.
Dhawan joined the party in the middle and did not take much time to settle down. Dhawan and Gambhir applied themselves cleverly and found the gaps at a rapid pace.
The duo added 98 runs for the second wicket and left Dravid struggling for ideas.
Vinay Kumar gave Dhawan width and the Delhi batsman's delicate cuts raced onto the boundary.
Dhawan adapted well to the slow deliveries of Kallis and hit the South African for a huge six. However, Kallis had the last laugh after Dravid took a stunning catch at the midwicket to end the young batsman's 33-ball innings.
Gambhir on the other end was in fine touch. His boundaries were a treat to watch. His knock finally came to an end in the 19th over after he miscued Zaheer's delivery and Parveen Kumar lapped up the resultant catch at deep midwicket. But by then the Delhi opener had set the stage for his team's win.
