Unbiased Reviews by Real People
To quote that famous movie "Where do I begin?" Well, first I will start with our location, Hells' Kitchen. There, I knew it would grab your attention. It did mine. Mary Clark, a local historian, relates several anecdotes about this colourful area of Manhattan. According to Mary, the name --first appeared in print on September 22, 1881 when a New York Times reporter went to the West 30s with a police guide to get details of a multiple murder there. He referred to a particularly infamous tenement at 39th Street and 10th Avenue as "Hell's Kitchen," and said that the entire section was "probably the lowest and filthiest in the city." According to this version, 39th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues became known as Hell's Kitchen and the name was later expanded to the surrounding streets. Another version ascribes the name's origins to a German restaurant in the area known as Heil's Kitchen, after its proprietors. But the most common version traces it to the story of Dutch Fred The Cop, a veteran policeman, who with his rookie partner, was watching a small riot on West 39th Street near 10th Avenue. The rookie is supposed to have said, "This place is hell itself," to which Fred replied, "Hell's a mild climate. This is Hell's Kitchen." Today Hell's Kitchen has been transformed. Its southern boundary is Chelsea, while its western boundary is the Hudson River. The Eastern boundary overlaps Times Square and the theatre district and for us it was an easy walk. The northern boundary nudges the Upper West Side (made famous by the immortal movie West Side Story). Our New York base for six days was a tiny, modern studio flat (described as spacious and commodious, but that is another story).It was situated in a recently converted building just off 48th and 9th. Our bijou apartment was on the fourth floor at the back of a five story building and relatively quiet for New York, a definite plus. However, go down in the large, shiny, stainless steel elevator and along the bright, narrow corridor with its brownstone feature wall and open the door on to the street and WHAM !!! Immediately you are in the thick of it—"The real deal" as Phil (Popsrocks) told me when I asked for advice on planning this trip. Look left and right and you are surrounded by small family businesses, local delis, restaurants of every nationality and hardly a chain in sight. Amy's Bread, just over the road, always has a good window display. This time of year the theme was Halloween. Amy sells fresh bread twists in a bewildering amount of flavours, pumpkin seed and raisin was one of my favourites or you can choose rosemary or seeded. Marry three bread twists with cream cheese and a huge French bowl of café au lait, take breakfast in the small café at the back of her shop and watch bread being made in the baking area. On your way out take a chocolate on chocolate cupcake to go—moist, fresh, flying off the shelves—divine !! Amy's Bread, founded in 1992 by Amy Scherber, can be found at 672 Ninth Avenue, between 46th and 47th Streets. http://www.amysbread.com/hells.htm This area is also called Clinton for those of you who want to appear snobbish. The name is nothing to do with Bill, although he did call his daughter Chelsea Clinton thereby gaining two areas of votes in one fell swoop. The name Clinton for the area originated in 1959 in an attempt to link the area to DeWitt Clinton Park at 52nd and 11th Avenue, named after a 19th century New York governor —but Hell's Kitchen is the only name for me, so full of character and now so appropriate because you are in restaurant heaven and it is a seething mass of every kind of nationality imaginable. Somehow it epitomises all the hopes and aspirations of America in one neighbourhood and evokes that wave of second generation immigrants who moved into the centre from the traditional immigration areas. Choose a different cuisine every night. We found some fabulous Thai food. There is Asian fusion or American up market cuisine. After that you can try Indonesian Rice Tafel, Italian, French, Mexican or Chinese. The restaurants sit side by side, cheek to jowl in long narrow establishments formed from the ground floors of buildings once owned by West Side immigrants—you will be so spoilt for choice that you won't know where to turn. This area is fast becoming the choice for up and coming actors, for trendy couples and the gay population. You have everything that you need from hardware shops, to pharmacists, florists and local corner shops. The local video store even sells T shirts depicting that famous Hell's Kitchen mural that Chris (cr01) has used to illustrate this review. Sadly,the mural has been painted over now in an effort to convey a more upmarket image, but I spotted another on a restaurant wall. Grab a T shirt here if you can because you cannot buy them elsewhere in New York. The only shirt in Tony's size was on the mannequin in the window, so we bought it, but if you are staying longer the owner of the shop will order one for you. I had been warned. New Yorkers can be rude and are impatient when you cannot make up your mind. Not in Hell's Kitchen. Another favourite breakfast spot (we had so many) was The Bread Factory. All of our servers were patience personified when we showed our ignorance and wavered over which was the best smoked salmon to team with my freshly baked bagel. Tony chose plain bagels with butter, but I had the whole works with pickles. Yum! I did give him a generous taste. Oh, and did I mention the patisseries?-To die for. As we paid our server asked us where he could get an accent like ours. "Try twenty years in England" was Tony's reply. That caused a bit of mirth. A few blocks down the street on is the famous Hell's Kitchen Flea Market, established in 1976.It has up to 170 vendors and is open every Saturday and Sunday 9 am- 6pm on West 39th Street. Here, what seems to be a large car lot during the week is transformed into a bustling array of stalls selling anything and everything from dainty china to Mickey Mouse ears. We even met a seller of Nepalese Art from Kathmandu. For a dollar you can take a shuttle to the Chelsea Flea market further down the Street. For information go to www.annexmarkets.com. Right on the corner of the Flea market is HK. This is a bright, modern restaurant featuring a large amount of chrome, black and white. It is usually packed to the gills on a Saturday. We came here on a weekday. I had a decadent breakfast of a fruit smoothie teamed with French cinnamon toast, decorated with fresh blueberries, raspberries and strawberries . http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/hk/ At first when we tried HK we found strange opening hours. I don't think that we arrived too early. It is supposed to open at nine and it was shut. However, this meant we had the first part of our breakfast in the Cupcake Café a few doors away. (Store hours Monday to Friday 7 am to 7 pm). At weekends they open later. The Cupcake Café is run by a large, amiable, Irish American looking guy and the communal table is formed from a huge slab of white marble with rugged edges. I would love to know where they got it. The chairs and sofas look as they have come straight from the flea market—and the cupcakes? Well, there are rows and rows of them beautifully decorated with butter cream frosting flowers. Such a shame to eat these miniature works of art. Cupcake Café 522 9th Avenue (at 39th Street) http://www.cupcakecafe.com/ I feel that I am far too drawn to the theme of food so I will diversify. Running parallel to our street is 8th Avenue where you can find the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 42nd Street. The Pride of Manhattan Fire Station is also in this area. Almost all fire stations in Manhattan lost fighters in the September 11th terrorist attacks, but the hardest hit was Engine 54, Ladder 4, Battalion 9 at 48th Street and Eighth Avenue. Its proximity to Midtown means that the station deals with skyscraper fires and is reputed to be the busiest station in New York City. Fifteen of their firefighters died at the World Trade Center. Poignantly we saw the names of the men painted on the sides of their fire engines as they raced by to perform yet more rescues. If you continue down 9th Avenue and head west to the river you come to the point of departure for the Circle Line boats leaving for their river trips. After your river trip, walk down from the Circle Line pier straight to the Heli pads to take a helicopter tour over Manhattan (This was my birthday present to Tony and it was stunning). As you walk to the theatre district to the north, there are several theaters including Studio 54, the original home of Seinfeld's Soup Nazi. Its closeness to Broadway theatres means that the neighborhood is home to some famous residents which have included Bob Hope, James Dean, Jerry Seinfeld, Sylvester Stallone and even Madonna. We passed the Actors Temple and Saint Malachy's Roman Catholic Church with its Actors' Chapel which also demonstrates that this a traditional area for show business people. My aim in New York City was to stay in the thick of things, close to all the attractions, yet outside the commercialized mayhem and restaurant chains of Times Square. For us, the location could not have been better. Of course, you have to take all the usual precautions when in a large city and we did, but I never once felt endangered or threatened. What I did feel was vibrancy, a strong sense of community and a warmth that I had not expected. Long live Hell's Kitchen. May the developers never knock it down. Many thanks to Chris for setting up this New York City, Hell's Kitchen link for me and many thanks to all the members of Epinions who helped me plan this unforgettable trip. Also many thanks to "Nosher" and "Hungry man".Nycnosh.com produces reviews of local eateries, complete with photos. This greatly added to our culinary experiences and I shall be ever grateful. My only regret is that we could not try all the recommendations. I used food reviews written a couple of years ago but they still held good. http://www.nycnosh.com/

Sara Hacala was speaking largely to the converted; the crowd of 100 clapped when they were supposed to, didn't shout over each other and no one was texting or talking on their smartphones while she spoke.
But I suspect most of us who came to hear the author of Saving Civility, 52 Ways to Tame Rude, Crude and Attitude for a Polite Planet weren't there to learn how to be more civil, rather they wanted strategies to deal with those who aren't.
Maybe that's part of the problem; the jerks who should have attended - loudmouths who argue with store clerks, blockheads who tailgate and louts who blast music at all hours - weren't there Tuesday.
Hacala's key concept was to treat others the way you want to be treated. This means, when confronted with rudeness, turning the other cheek, letting it roll off without being sucked in.
It's easy to respond with a snappy retort, Hacala explained, but all that does is create more of the same.
So when accosted by those less than considerate, she suggests ignoring it or delving deeper by asking the other person about what's really going on; why they are so angry, unkind or uncooperative? Maybe they're having a really bad day for reasons not obvious. It's important to give people the benefit of the doubt, she counsels, be the bigger person and model the behaviour you'd like to see.
One gentle person in the audience suggested saying a prayer for a "those that curse you." For non-religious types, Hacala said this means trying to think something positive about someone while you're locking horns or if that's not possible, something positive about your own life.
I'll give it a whirl (while counting to 10) when people try my patience, but reaching out to the rude by inquiring about their mental state seems unrealistic.
While some may respond to such an extension of the olive branch, if lashing out at others, making snide remarks or being rude in general is part of one's persona, it seems unlikely that individual will benefit from shows of kindness.
One woman shared how her persistent niceness eventually wore down six months of rudeness from a co-worker, but I'm not sure I'd have the appetite to bother trying.
And therein lies part of the problem - if more people don't strive to be civil, we will only continue on a downward path.
Perhaps turning the other cheek does hold merit. Ignoring bad behaviour works in some circumstances - with road rage and anonymous web commenters, for instance - but steadily enduring rudeness from people you encounter on a daily basis is untenable.
That kind of "it's best not to say anything" approach has contributed to too many problems -kids being bullied, harassment in workplaces and children being abused by those charged with their well-being.
I agree it's not necessary to respond with similarly bad behaviour but calling out persistent jerks seems reasonable. "You interrupted me," "That was rude," "You hurt my feelings," and "I don't appreciate your hostility," are obvious responses.
Hacala acknowledges, however, one solution will not fit all, thus her book offering 52 ways to tame the rude and crude.
I consider it a worthwhile pursuit.

Mk XII Reman Space Set turns into Mk XI MACO

My Items Turned Into Other Items On Unequip
I was using my Wells timeship with the complete Mk XII Reman Prototype Space Set (Deflector + Engine + Shield) and had completed an Infected Space Elite. Feeling that I had to change ships again, I unequipped the set and returned to ESD to change ships.
When I got to the Ship Selector NPC and opened my inventory, I noticed that my Reman Set wasn't in there. Instead, a complete Mk XI MACO space set was occupying the spaces my reman set should've held. Further, when I went to remove my engineering consoles to transfer them to my other ship, a Neutronium Alloy console (Mk XI Rare) turned into a Mk XII Diburnium Alloy console (Common).
This is unacceptable. All I did to unequip them was double-click their positions on my timeship. I have no idea why they'd get turned into COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ITEMS by doing this. And I know I am not the only person this is happening to. At least one other person (Kivikii I think he was) also had this happen.
I've also filed this in-game as ticket #1425092
Could a Dev/GM respond and let me know what happened and if I can get my stuff back? Would I need to do a Character level rollback? Would a rollback mess with my timeship since I barely had it for 18 hours before this happened?
The answer may be as simple as checking your SHUTTLE to see if your space gear went to THAT instead of your ship. BranFlakes suggested that to me and there they were, intact. The game had equipped them to my shuttle instead of my ship. If you've had this problem like I did and think it mutated your gear, go look at your currecnt "active" shuttle. They might be there. Its related to a different bug they're trying to fix.

Turner Continues to Re-Write Falcons History
Turner Continues to Re-Write Falcons History
Jay Adams
Published November 28, 2012 at 8:53 AMRunning back Michael Turner burst into the end zone on Sunday against Tampa Bay in the second half and, in turn, burst to the top of yet another record in the annals of Falcons history.
His touchdown Sunday marked the 57th of his career with the Falcons — significant because it's tied for the most touchdowns ever with the franchise with wide receiver Terance Mathis. It's a virtual certainty that the record will fall completely into Turner's possession by the end of the season, if not by the end of the week, putting yet another stamp on an impressive five-year career in Atlanta.
Whenever Turner's career ends in Atlanta, he'll leave with his name above the all-time great running backs in franchise history. William Andrews, Gerald Riggs, Jamal Anderson and Warrick Dunn have all had team records fall to Turner.
It's not something he's thought a lot about, but he knows one day he'll be able to take it all in.
"I never thought I'd be up there," Turner said Tuesday. "I just kept working every year, just trying to get better and just do my job."
And his job translated into etching his name into the record books.
Turner holds eight distinguished records in those books by himself or with another player, and it looks soon to be nine.
Turner has the following records:
- Most rushing yards in a game: 220 vs. Detroit on 9/7/08
- Most career rushing touchdowns: 56 (Riggs is second with 48)
- Most career 100-yard games: 27 (Riggs is second with 25)
- Most points scored in a game: 24 (tied with TJ Duckett; Turner's 24 points came against Carolina on 11/23/08)
- Most touchdowns in a season: 17 (Anderson is second with 16)
- Most rushing touchdowns in a game: 4 (tied with Duckett; Turner's four TDs came against Carolina on 11/23/08)
- Most touchdowns in a game: 4 (same as rushing touchdowns in a game mark)
- Most consecutive games with a touchdown: 7 (2009)
"It's unbelievable," said center Todd McClure, who has blocked for Turner, Anderson, Dunn and Duckett. "It just shows the type of work ethic he has and determination. When we get down there and get it close, he's going to get it in. It's just unbelievable, and I'm glad to be a part of it."
Aside from the records, Turner has been an integral part of the movement of the offense in the past five seasons.
Coming in during quarterback Matt Ryan's rookie season, Turner dominated in the run game with 1,699 yards that year (good enough for third all-time behind Anderson and Riggs) and his record-setting 17 touchdowns.
The pressure that took off the young quarterback can't be overstated.
"Mike's been huge in my career," Ryan said. "He's been a staple of our organization for the last five years. Especially early on in my career, having that running game, knowing that you can turn around and hand the ball to him and he's going dominate games, that's been huge. He's a great teammate; very unselfish, and a guy that brings great energy to the locker room every day."
In total, on top of the soon-to-be nine records, Turner is on the list for:
- Most yards gained in a career (fourth behind Riggs, Andrews and Dunn)
- Most yards gained in a season (third behind Anderson and Riggs)
- Most 1,000-yard seasons (tied for second with Dunn and Riggs)
- Most yards gained in a game (he holds the top two spots in this category)
- Most rushing attempts (fifth behind Riggs, Dunn, Anderson and Andrews)
- Most rushing attempts in a season (third behind Anderson and Riggs)
- Most 100-yard games in a season (third behind Anderson and Riggs)
- Highest average gain in a career with a minimum of 750 carries (second behind Andrews)
- Highest average gain in a season with a minimum of 150 carries (second behind Dunn)
With the record he's most proud of looking to be on the edge of shattering, Turner is more tuned in to how the team is performing, but the importance of this one record and what he's meant to Falcons history in his five seasons so far is something that he will carry with him.
"It's going to be a great feeling," Turner said about possibly becoming the Falcons' all-time touchdown leader. "I just can't think about it too much. I'll just go out there and keep doing what I've been doing every week and when it happens, I'll look back on it later."

All very reasonalably priced and all a little more Gucci that I am use to or expected while traveling. This moto travel stuff of making me soft.
Hard to get good pics but it is a very cool old colonial building.
Found this guy in the Jacuzzi. He was done swimming I think. I didn't even know there were scorpions in Colombia
Overlooking Salento.
This guy joined us for the hike and then on the way back down he stopped back at the little shop where we found him. He was a funny dog.
The reason I bring up this dog is because in Colombia you see very few starving dogs and a lot more big dogs. In central America there were lots of stray small starving dogs. It is nice to see healthy animals and I take it as a sign of a place being more economically stable. All be it a small sign but a sign none the less. Colombia seems to have many areas that are doing quite well.
Off to Buga!!

Whatever Wednesday: Super Easy Skirts
After every pregnancy, I get an itch to get something new. This time I have wanted some new skirts. I wear a lot of skirts that I have from when I was in high school, so it's time for some new ones. I went shopping and couldn't find any that were my style or in my price range. So, I decided to make some for myself.
I made two of the reversible skirts (and one for my baby). I just love how they lay on me and how I can turn them around and it's like having another skirt!
Then I made a fun circle skirt. I got the idea here.
I'm going to try to explain the best I can but if you don't understand, Dana from MADE does a great job explaining it!
The sewing part is super easy for this skirt, really all you have do is sew the skirt to elastic and that's about it. Because it's a circle, you have to do a little bit of math to figure out how big you need your circle to be.
Here's a little math review: circumference is the distance around a circle and the radius is the distance from the center of the circle to outer edge.
The equation to get the circumference is 2 x radius x pi (3.14)
Well we know what our circumference is going to be (your waist measurement). Add a couple of inches so it can get over the hips :). So we need to find the radius and here's how:
Your waist around in inches + 2 inches, all divided by 6.28
So what you need to do is measure your waist, add 2 inches and divide that number by 6.28. So my waist measured 34. 34+2=36 Then divide it by 6.28 and I got 5.75 inches. This is going to be the radius for the inner circle. Then I wanted the skirt to be 22" long. I added that to the 5.75" to make 27.75" and that will be the radius for the outer circle.
To figure out how much fabric you will need, take the outer circle radius, 27.75" in my case and times it by 2. So I needed 55.5 inches, both width and length. So I found some fabric that was 58" wide and bought 58" of it, I got extra just in case.
Now it is time to make the pattern
1) I put several pieces of paper together and used that. Starting from the right angle, measure your inner circle radius and mark it on the paper
2) I then marked the 5.75" for several different angles and then connected the dots
3) I then marked the outer circle, measuring 27.75". I did it at several different angles and then connected the dots
4) I then cut out my pattern.
5) I then folded my fabric in half and folded in half one more time. This pattern is for 1/4 of the circle. With the right angle to the left bottom, I pinned the paper to the fabric and cut out the fabric.
Here is the circle!
Now for the elastic: 2 inch elastic is great for little girls, 3 inch elastic is great for adult. Sadly the only place for me to get things is Wal-Mart and all they had was 1 1/2 inch elastic (I was surprised they even had that).
6) Measure your waist and add one inch for the hem. So I cut mine 35 inches. I sewed the two pieces together.
7) Then I flattened the elastic and sewed the flaps down
Now it is time to add the skirt to the elastic.
8) Using a zig-zag stitch, I sewed the inner circle and outer circle to prevent fraying because I don't have a serger.
9) Then I pinned the elastic to the skirt. I used eight pins and tried to put them evenly around the skirt. The skirt is bigger than the elastic, so there will be some gathering.
10) Using a straight stitch, I sewed the skirt to the elastic and that's it!
Now try it on and twirl, I guarantee you will want to twirl!!
Super easy, huh? There's a little math involved but that's about it!

People gripe and moan aboutSubmitted by Resident (not verified) on Sun, 12/02/2007 - 9:40am.
People gripe and moan about rising fuel prices, then along comes an attempt to buffer that with hybrid automobiles, and then you still have people griping and moaning once again about this attempt to curtail fuel expenses.
What's up with that??????
Until John/Jane Q. Doe "starts pushing" our government to do something about rising fuel prices,energy alternatives will never have an opportunity to come about.
I think more then just a few cars offered for sale would be in order "anywhere USA".
Recharging as it runs/breaks is a great contribution to ingenuity for the 21st century.
Good for you Toyota for having the "nad's" to be the first to sell them.

While some people dream of having a Rolls-Royce or Maserati, others just try to make their own out of what they have. We are going to the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan to meet one local master who made his dreams come true.
He lives in Shakhtinsk and his name is Ruslan Mukanov. With his own hands he has made a replica of a famous Rolls-Royce using components of an old car.
The city is located 30 kilometers away from the regional center.
He fell in love with the Rolls-Royce Phantom nine years ago.
And he was not related to cars in any way back then. Ruslan still studied at school and could only dream about having his own car. Some time later he became a motor mechanic and started to buy old used cars to repair and sell them. This is how the idea of making a dream car for himself came to his mind. He took the job seriously.
The car having the closest appearance to a Rolls Royce Phantom was a Mercedes. It had similar lines and shapes.

Holy Crap! 4X Sci-Fi Gameplay at it's best?! 3
The latest foray into the space-based genre of RTS games takes its form in Sins of a Solar Empire, the first and rather highly anticipated title from Ironclad Games. On the surface, Sins appears to be no more than a Homeworld or Hegemonia clone, but a closer inspection of the title unveils a simplified yet altogether brilliantly constructed 4X game. For those not familiar with the term 4X stands for eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate, describing games along the lines of the Civilization an...

The seriousness will make you happy. 0
Sins of a Solar Empire is real time (space) strategy game recently released by Stardock, who are most (deservedly) famous for being the makers of Galactic Civilizations 1&2, which almost single handedly revived the 4X space genre after the failure of MOO3. As such, it is tempting to think of Sins as an RTS GalCiv2, but, for good or for ill, nothing could be further from the truth. (this is partly because the game was *published by Stardock, not developed by them) The game promises deep strat...

Sins of a Solar Empire was released to a great deal of critical acclaim. As a huge RTS fan myself, I could not have been more disappointed by Sins of a Solar Empire. While a game with high production value and from a company that is absolutely fantastic, I could not find the content for me to keep coming back to this game.It plays as any other RTS does, but in this case on a galactic scale. Its comparable to Twilight Imperium the board game (one I loved so much). You start with one planet and by...

The Exploding Sins of an Empire 0
Sins of a Solar Empire is a really tight kick butt game, that if you are strategy fan you will love this game. There are a total of three groups to play: the TEC, the Vasari, and The Advent. Each race has an awesome array of weapons and a myriad of units. Although this is good they all really are not that different. They can become pretty boring if you don't use your imagination when playing this game. The graphics, if your computer can handle it, are wicked awsome and can blow your mind...

These sins can quite readily be forgiven. 0
This game kicks ass. It's pretty much a combination of Homeworld 2 and any regular 4X space empire game. You could also see it as a space version of Supreme Commander, it's goddamn epic. Like, battles with fleets of over 200 ships.Plus, there's absolutely no DRM, if you know what I mean. While I describe it as Supreme Commander in Space, Sins has a much better UI. Supreme Commander wasn't all that great IMO because the pacing was slow as hell and you had to individually upgrade all the tiny li...

I've seen this question to many times in different forums, and answered in many different ways that I decided to write a post with more details about it. The title says it all, but I want to reiterate the answer that I had to give so many times:
Using svcutil.exe and Add Service Reference to create a proxy for REST (*) endpoints in WCF does not work, even if it seems like it does.
(*) I know, they're not technically "REST" endpoints. They're officially called "WCF Web HTTP" endpoints, not REST ones, since the term REST means a lot more than responding to plain-old HTTP requests using JSON or XML. But many people call (correctly or not) them WCF REST endpoints (or WCF REST services), so if they find an issue and search for it, I hope this is one of the links they get.
By a WCF Web HTTP endpoint, I mean an endpoint which uses the WebHttpBinding (or an equivalent custom binding), and the WebHttpBehavior (<webHttp/> if using config). The WebScriptEnablingBehavior (<enableWebScript/>) is a subclass of WebHttpBehavior, so that's also covered. Also, endpoints defined using the WebServiceHostFactory class (<%ServiceHost Service="your-service-class" Factory="System.ServiceModel.Activation.WebServiceHostFactory"%> in a .svc file). Any of those are "web" endpoints, and I can't repeat enough – using svcutil.exe and Add Service Reference to create a proxy for them does not work.
Why doesn't it work?
In order for the tools to be able to generate a client which can consume the service, the service must expose data about itself, or metadata. That metadata includes things such as the endpoint ABCs (address, binding, contract) for all the endpoints exposed by the service. WCF supports exposing metadata using either the WSDL (Web Service Description Language), also known as "HTTP GET metadata", or using the WS-MetadataExchange protocol (the two are fairly the same). Those are protocols are defined by the W3 consortium for SOAP Services, and are fairly widely adopted by most SOAP stacks in the industry, and WCF also implements them.
WCF Web HTTP services (endpoints) are not SOAP services (endpoints), so WSDL doesn't work for them. There is a proposal for a description for resource-based services, called WADL (Web Application Description Language), but the W3C doesn't have any plans to work on this specification, it has never really been widely adopted and WCF also hasn't supported it in its service description. Even if we could create a metadata extension to the service to expose its information in that format, the proxy-generation tools (svcutil.exe and Add Service Reference) do not understand them. So this is why it doesn't work, regardless of what people want to believe.
But I used it and it generated a proxy class and configuration! What gives?
Ok, if you still don't believe, keep reading. Let's look at the actual service definition of a WCF service with Web HTTP endpoints. The code below defines 3 services: one only with a Web endpoint, one with a SOAP endpoint, and one with both. In each case, we'll save the WSDL produced by the service will be saved to a local file.
Ok, let's now run svcutil.exe to generate a proxy for the Web endpoint case. It generates the following proxy class (some classes removed). Notice that it has all the data contracts, and even the service contract with all the operations as we defined. Isn't it working?
No, it's not working. Notice that although the service contract and all the operations are there, none of the WebInvokeAttribute / WebGetAttribute attributes are, so if we try to use that proxy to call the service, it will fail. Also, it didn't generate any configuration file (where the address and binding information are stored by the tool).
Looking at the WSDLs which were saved when running the tool sheds some information on that. Using a diff tool (such as WinDiff, which is on the path on the Visual Studio Command Prompt), compare the files called HttpOnly.xml and SoapOnly.xml. The files are exactly the same up to a certain point. Then, the HttpOnly file has an empty <wsdl:service> element, while the SoapOnly.xml file has a lot more information about the service – namely, the binding information and the endpoint address (see below). With that information, the tool is able to create the configuration file which contains that information and lets the client call the service correctly. Also notice that the contract definition (<wsdl:message> and <wsdl:portType> elements) are exactly the same, without any annotation for things such as the WebInvokeAttribute / WebGetAttribute properties – so the tool has no information about what they should be. Which is, as I think I already mentioned, it doesn't work.
Another interesting thing to notice: the files SoapOnly.xml and HttpAndSoap.xml are exactly the same. The contract is the same for both endpoints, and if you had more endpoints, they would show up as different bindings (<wsdl:binding>) or different addresses (wsdl:port) – and that information doesn't exist for web endpoints.
Ok, I'm convinced. It doesn't work. But why does the WCF provide an incomplete metadata, if it doesn't work?
The answer to this question is simple, it does because we told WCF to do so, by adding the service metadata behavior. We asked WCF to provide metadata for the service, and it happily did its best effort for that. I think the main question is, should it throw when the service host is opening if there is a Web endpoint in the service, since that metadata is useless?
Well, it's not really useless. If there are multiple endpoints in the service, one Web endpoint and a SOAP one, having metadata in that case is perfectly valid. With that, SOAP clients can consume it to create a proxy to talk to the service, and the contract for the Web endpoint is somehow shared out-of-band between the client and the service.
Ok, what if there is only one endpoint in the service description, shouldn't the service then throw in this case? Well, no again. Remember that WCF is (very) extensible, so it's possible that someone wanted to actually implement a WADL metadata extension and expose that information for their service. We don't want to block that scenario. The WCF-specific tools (svcutil.exe and Add Service Reference) don't understand them, but WCF was made to be consumed by any clients, not only WCF (or even .NET) ones, so it's possible that someone liked the WADL specification enough that they created a tool for their favorite language to create a proxy for it.
And that's it. Do not try to point svcutil.exe and Add Service Reference to a WCF REST Service and expect it to work. It won't.

Also to help wrap up this thread: The minimum OS we officially support is OSX 10.6.8. If you have and older version than 10.6.8 you might not get the optimal experience. Make sure you upgrade those versions for the best performance / least bugs.
My friend had this. We all laughed at him till he showed a pic. He was on a PC and the issue stayed after repairing. Don't know more than that, just poping in to say it's a thing.

When engaging someone in conversation, your eyes communicate almost as much as your mouth does. Try to keep your eyes from darting back and forth uncontrollably. We know it can sometimes be intimidating to maintain eye contact with a pretty girl, but constantly scanning the room like you're waiting for the Navy SEALs to bust in makes you look shifty. If you're talking to a woman, it's especially important to keep your eyes in check. Specifically, don't let them roam too much. When you check out the blonde in the next booth over, she notices -- "she" being your date and not the blonde. And when you glance at her cleavage, she notices that too.

Bikey expects Clarets survival
19 Sep 2009 - 11:39:13
Burnley central defender Andre Bikey is confident that his new club can defy the critics and avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.
The 24-year-old Cameroon international has settled in quickly at Turf Moor following his arrival from Reading, helping the Clarets record home wins over Everton and Manchester United.
Bikey told reporters: "This club had 33 years outside of the top-flight and coming into the Premier League means we are playing for everyone connected with the club.
"Right now, everything is still in our hands and we can still stay in the Premier League if we want.
"It's not going to be easy, but we are lucky to be playing in this league because it is the best in the world and we will not give it up lightly.
"I will give everything I can to stay in the Premier League."

Champions of The ICC Champions Trophy - India, Players Marks out of 10
A Terrific finish do the Tournament and Champions Trophy in their cabinet, there is nothing more Team India could have asked for.
The performances in the field was jubilant and fielding was all up for praise. Batting created high standards wherein at the beginning were termed as underdogs. Bowlers were exceptional too, over all a brilliant performance by Team India.
M.S.Dhoni:- 9.5/10
Even though he hardly got to bat due to top order success, his captaincy and wicketkeeping skills on the field was a joy to watch. Most importantly he got the Champion Trophy Cup under his belt, the only missing trophy under his captaincy for Team India. Dhoni deserved the points.
Virat Kohli:- 9.5/10
Batting at No.3 a very crucial position for any Team, Virat Kohli once again lived way above everyone's expectation. His catches were fantastic, his performance with the bat was overwhelming. He played the most important knock in the finals, where wickets kept falling after Dhawan and Virat Kohli stood tall among all till the end. Scoring 43 in just 34 balls in finals with 4 fours and a six he helped India with a good total along with Dhawan and Jadeja that scripted an Indian victory.
S.Dhawan:- 10/10
Even 10/10 would not be enough for this young lad who has already made a mark for himself in International Cricket. Scoring 2 hundreds and 1 fifties in the tournament and a terrific 31 in the rain shortened finals even 10/10 would not be enough for the youngster as he deserved more on it. He laid solid foundation on the top and hence the middle lower order did not have to do much at the end. Well played Dhawan. Won the player of the series award.
Rohit Sharma:- 7.5/10
It was considered as a boon to Rohit for coming in as a full time opener in the series. He played a second fiddle to Dhawan and both laid solid opening partnerships in most of the matches. His scores of 65,52 and 33 speaks well for him and if he can carry on his form he can be a success for the team.
Ravindra Jadeja:- 10/10
Brilliant all round performance by Jadeja helped India at every stage of the tournament. His 5 wicket haul, 47 not out, 33 not out in the finals and wickets in at all the matches he played made him the most valuable player of the team. 10/10 is what he deserves.
Dinesh Karthik:-8/10
Forced his way into the playing 11 as he could not be kept out after strong performances in domestic cricket, IPL and 2 hundreds in warm up matches in the tournament, made a 51 at a good time and rest was not needed much of him as top order did the job. His energy in the field was a treat to watch. He has made a successful come back into the team.
Suresh Raina:- 6/10
Many may be surprised that he did not even reach double digit in the series but the actual fact was he did not even get an opportunity to bat and when he did there was nothing much he could do about. Even though he got a chance in finals and did not perform, his presence in the team was enough to give a boost to the middle order. He fielded well and bowled well when needed.
B.Kumar:- 9/10
Being known as the most economical bowler he lived upto his reputation. His 2/19 against Pakistan, 1/18 against Sri Lanka and 0/19 in the finals were eye catching ones and he bowled tidy spells in every match. Batsmen found it difficult to read his balls and he was very successful throughout.
R.Ashwin:- 9.5/10
3/48 being his best, he spun the game away from the opposition. His balls were hard to read and he gave breakthroughs at various stages. He bowled well and his performance deserved a pat at the back.
Ishant Sharma:- 7/10
His pacy spells was hard to play but at times became expensive too. Took wickets quite often and bowled well with confidence. He needs to be consistent but when he performed it was worth a watch.
Umesh Yadav:- 5/10
High expectation was expected out of him but he could not live upto his expectations as his most expensive spell was 2/75, even then he bowled well. He had the back up of the captain and team hence proved to be a tight economical bowler in the end of the tournament.

1. Recognizing a Fabric's Overall Color
This Week: Fabric Folding
I switched up the schedule a little bit so that the series makes more sense! Originally we were going to be discussing how to build a well-rounded stash, but we're better off organizing our stashes before we do any shopping! ;)
Today I'll be showing you how I fold my fabrics. This method allows you to fold all your cuts that are a yard or less, down to the same size. This is really helpful for storage and organizing because you can mix yardages. I've been folding this way for about a year and it's been working great! I think I may have originally seen this method over on Christina's blog!
When I started putting together this post, I was planning on taking photos of each stage. Early into the process I realize that this just wasn't a practical solution. So, despite my camera shy-ness, I decided to make a series of videos showing how to fold 6 different size cuts of fabric. Please ignore my weird voice and the horizontal orientation of the videos!
If you'd like you can watch all 6 folds here in one video, or watch the individual videos below:
1. Fat Quarter
Fat Quarters, half-yards, and yard sized cuts are folded exactly the same!
2. 1/4 Yard
3. 1/3 Yard
This works great for any cut in between 1/4 and 1/2 yard!
4. 1/2 Yard
5. 3/4 Yard
This works great for any cut in between 1/2 yard and 1 yard!
6. 1 Yard
Hope that was helpful! See you next week for another post! :)

Happy Friday everybody — Clem Lane here with our Evening Editorial Note. Next week should be a busy one (and controversial with Monday's Stem Cell announcement expected) for the Obama Administration, and it's probably going to be busy for your fine self as well. Here's hoping your weekend is filled with nothing but family, college basketball and spring baseball. GO CUBS!
J-O-B-S, JOBS JOBS JOBS!-So how was the February jobs report? Not good-651 thousand jobs were cut in the 28-day month, pushing the unemployment rate to 8.1%, the highest rate in 25 years. Betsy Stark, reporting on WORLD NEWS, tells us "the number of Americans officially unemployed has now grown to 12 and a half million. Add in the under-employed and it swells to 23 million." Making things even worse for the legions of jobless? The length of time it now takes to find a job. Stark says that "one in four Americans has been out of work for more than six months." Stark breaks down who's been impacted the most. Stark: "Across the country, the job cuts have been broad as well as deep. But some fared worse than others. More men are out of work than women (8.1% vs. 6.7% unemployment). Blacks (13.4%) and Hispanics (10.9%) are losing jobs faster than Whites (7.3%)." Looking forward, things are probably gonna get a whole lot worse before they get better. Stark says that "one economist calculated today that if Americans continue to lose jobs at the pace we've been seeing over the last six months, the unemployment rate will top 10 percent by June and over 12 percent by the end of year." Where's the hero in the white hat? If you mean the stimulus bill, Stark says "that's why the stimulus plan is so important. If it's successful, these huge job losses should slow down." Let's hope so.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BANKS-The President has been out a lot this week, acting as First Cheerleader for his economic stimulus plan. His efforts may have paid off to some degree but as George Stephanopoulos told Charles Gibson tonight "(The Obama Administration) know that there's not going to be any real sense of stability in the markets, any sense that we're coming out of this crisis until people know what is going on with the banks. How big is the problem? How much is it going to cost? And when is it going to be fixed?" George's sense? "The Treasury Department says that they are about 75% of the way there. They've already made deals with banks like Citigroup to provide more capital, but they haven't reached a final decision and don't yet know how much more ($) it's going to take to fix the top four or five troubled banks."
STEM CELL RESEARCH-ABC NEWS learned today that President Obama is about to end the ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. He will have an event in the White House Monday. Obama's move will reverse 8 years of Bush Administration policy. The expected move by the Obama Administration is manna from heaven for some and a license to kill for others. Lisa Stark filed for WORLD NEWS and explains what Monday's move by the Obama Administration will mean: "Federal dollars will be freed up for more widespread research on embryonic stem cells-the so-called master cells of the body-which researchers hope will lead to cures for diseases such as diabetes or alzheimers." Sounds like a winner-what's not to like? Stark says this type of research is controversial because "using human embryonic stem cells means altering or destroying them in the process.". Oklahoma Republican Senator Tom Coburn is an opponent of the practice and was quoted in Stark's piece as saying "I'm concerned for the short period of time they're going to kill a lot of unborn children as they do this." Even supporters recognize the sensitivity of this issue-Stark tells us that "the National Institutes of Health has been working on ethical guidelines for how this research is carried out." But for the multitude of people (and their families) suffering from so-far incurable diseases, today's news gives them another reason to hold on.
BERNARD MADOFF NEWS-Brian Ross and Rich Esposito reported today that accused swindler Bernard Madoff may have cut a plea deal. Ross said on WORLD NEWS that "(Earlier this evening), a federal judge filed papers indicating he will accept a guilty plea from Madoff next Thursday in a Manhattan courtroom and put a call out for victims to come and testify and give their thoughts." Ross says that "we don't know the details of the deal" yet but it's sure to end his penthouse house arrest. It's also unclear how much time Madoff might spend behind bars. Ross says that with Madoff already 70 years old, "a federal prosecutor says he's unlikely ever to get out of prison alive." So is that it? If I was one of the victims, I'd sure want to know who else was involved in the scheme. Ross can alleviate some of your worry- "the criminal investigation is continuing," Ross told Charles Gibson. "In some deals like this, family members are excluded from further prosecution. We're told that may not be the case here."
KEPLER MISSION-From Gina Sunseri: "NASA's Kepler mission to seek other Earth-like planets is undergoing final preparations for liftoff Friday, March 6, from Pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The spacecraft launch aboard a Delta II rocket has two windows of opportunity Friday, from 10:49 to 10:52 p.m. EST and 11:13 to 11:16 p.m. EST. Kepler is designed to find the first Earth-size planets orbiting stars in habitable zones — regions where water could pool on the surface of the planets. Liquid water is believed to be essential for the formation of life."
PROGRAM REMINDER/20-20-Reminder that Elizabeth Vargas hosts a special 9pm edition of 20/20 tonight-the return of Siegfried & Roy. The 10pm edition of 20/20 looks at some of the claims that companies promise consumers-are their claims too good to be true?
–BRITAIN TO RECOGNIZE HEZBOLLAH–From Kirit Radia: "Great Britain has decided to re-establish contacts with Hezbollah, considered a terrorist organization by the United States but also the holder of a significant number of seats in the Lebanese government. The Brits are distinguishing between the political and militant wings of Hezbollah, deciding to talk to the former but still rejecting the latter. The State Department today said it will not follow suit. 'We are not ready to take the same step, no. Our position on Hezbollah has not changed,' said acting deputy spox Gordon Duguid. The US refuses to talk to any faction of the group."
–SUSPECTED KILLER OF FIVE FOUND DEAD– Police say a man suspected of murdering his wife, his sister-in-law and three young children has killed himself after being confronted by police. Cleveland police Lt. Thomas Stacho told Associated Press that 33-year-old Davon Crawford shot himself in the head this afternoon while holed up in a bathroom at a house believed to be the home of a relative.
–17TH BANK CLOSURE THIS YEAR-Regulators have shut down Freedom Bank of Georgia, marking the 17th failure this year of a federally insured bank. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has been appointed receiver of the bank, located in Commerce, Ga. It had about $173 million in assets and $161 million in deposits as of March 4. The FDIC says the bank's deposits will be assumed by Northeast Georgia Bank, located in Lavonia, Ga. Its four branches will reopen Monday as offices of Northeast Georgia Bank.

Lawyers argue over governor's security detail
AUSTIN, Texas — A lawyer for news organizations told the Texas Supreme Court that the state should release travel vouchers for Gov. Rick Perry's protective detail.
But an attorney representing the Texas Department of Public Safety said Wednesday those travel vouchers should be kept private and not reveal details that could endanger the governor or others traveling with him. Attorney David Morales said the DPS willingly releases the total amount of money spent on trips.
Lawyer William Christian, representing parent companies of the Austin American-Statesman, the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News, said the documents are an important tool for reporters. Christian wants the vouchers released under the Texas Public Information Act.
Republican Perry is facing Democrat Bill White in the Nov. 2 election.

We were pleasantly surprised to find a vacancy here in Moses Lake, 30 minutes from our Aerosmith Concert at the Gorge Amphitheater. Clean, friendly and owner Seng is wonderful. A swimming pool, a yummy breakfast and a Motel dog named Moonchie made it a wonderful stay!
