SEATTLE, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As one of the world's largest startup economies, Seattle is known for its entrepreneurs. From Starbucks to Microsoft to the vendors in Pike Place Market, the startup spirit in Seattle has helped fuel the local economy. Today it receives another boost, with the launch of Zaarly Storefronts – an online marketplace that helps local entrepreneurs make money doing what they love.
With the launch of Zaarly Storefronts in Seattle, we're empowering local chefs, handymen, yoga instructors, gardeners and other sellers to list and sell their skills and services. The Storefronts provide a one-stop, digital shop where the local community of Seattle can discover their most talented and trusted service providers. Seattle joins San Francisco, LA, New York and Kansas City, in the ranks of other cities that are building their own local economies with Zaarly Storefronts.
"Launching Storefronts in Seattle was a no brainer. Entrepreneurs are the heart of this city, and we wanted to give people another way to make money doing what they love," explained Bo Fishback, Zaarly CEO. "For buyers, Zaarly Storefronts will help Seattle's residents connect with talented local entrepreneurs who can deliver amazing local services and custom made goods."
Meet Seattle's Talented Service Providers
Zaarly Storefronts will launch in Seattle with several hundred listings from local entrepreneurs who come highly recommended by other Seattle residents. Whether a buyer is looking for a mixologist, a baker, a carpenter or even a dance fitness instructor, Zaarly Storefronts is the answer. For example:
- Want a custom craft cocktail menu for a holiday soiree? Mixologist Jordan Giarratano works with clients to tailor creative and delicious cocktails for private parties all over the city. As an artist and writer, he works with clients to find the most creative concepts and writes fun descriptions to go along with them. Along with his impeccable on-site bartending service, his libations are sure to make any party memorable.
- After being diagnosed with fibromyalgia at the age of 18, Rylie Haack turned to a 100% gluten-free diet. Although she was committed to her gluten-free lifestyle, she didn't want to give up sweets. After graduating from college with a degree in math and economics, she followed her passions all the way to culinary school before starting Rylie Cakes. Now she creates delicious gluten-free sweets like banana nut bread and chai oatmeal muffins.
- Don Meyers fell in love with carpentry while remodeling his house. Gradually, with practice, and some guidance from journeymen, classes, videos, and with an analytical approach to problems, he soon had acquaintances saying "Hey, Don! You did such a good job on your addition (or bathroom, or deck, or closet, or porch, or basement), how about helping me with mine?" After years working in the computer industry, he pursued his true passion and got his contractor's license.
- Sherree James started "Shake" to offer something for everyone in the field of dance-fitness. She offers five packs of any dance fitness class – from Zumba, Zumba toning, hip hop fitness to urban striptease -- for only $28. As a result of her passion for dance, Sherree recently won Western Seattle's best fitness instructor award.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

This topic kinda feels like deja vu ^^;; Ah well, I think more smilies would be a nice extra feature to add some more pizazz to the forums ^-^ However, like kedar's mentioned, we already have got 31 so I put emphasis on 'extra'
Well guys, have just finished adding the smilies for Anime Online. In total there are 108 smilies and I'm sure everyone can find something there to express their feelings or convey their messages better.
Have increased from 15 to 21 the number of smilies displayed before you have to click the [more] link which is located under them.
With this skin, it's a bit hard to see the [more] link, but it is there. Hopefully when Inu Yasha releases the new skin, the link can be seen better.
Enjoy and til next time!

A benefit cookout in honor of the Tyler Jett, the 7-year-old boy who was mauled by two pit bull mixes, raised $12,000.
Jett has been in the hospital since Tuesday afternoon. That's when he was attacked by two dogs outside his home on Kelly Court in Callaway,
Cissy Combs, who organized the cookout held at the Dam Bait Shop near Deerpoint Lake, was surprised by the huge turnout.
"The support that we're getting from everybody, the outpouring of love is overwhelming," she said. "Ever since then it's been one minute I'm crying from sorrow and the next I'm crying because I'm just so proud of this community, I'm so proud of the love of that these people here have."
Bay County commissioner Guy Tunnell was also in attendance wishing the best to the family.
"The most important thing right now is to focus on the well-being of this little boy and his recovery," he said. "I understand that he's making some really good progress but he's got an awfully long way to go and I would encourage our community to do what it does best and step up and help out."
The money raised by the cookout today will go towards helping the family pay their rent and keep food and other supplies readily available.

New support for medical marijuana
Rochester, N.Y. State Sen. Ted OBrien (D-Irondequoit) has voiced his support for the Compassionate Care Act, becoming the fourth local senator to back it.
"Its tailored so that the use of medical marijuana would be under the use of medical professionals and I think that would tighten and kind of alleviate my concerns about encouraging smoking which is not a healthy thing to do," said Sen. O'Brien.
The Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester (BCCR) called OBriens support a major victory for medical marijuana in New York state.
"If this bill makes it to the senate floor for a vote, there are enough votes to have it pass, said Holly Anderson, BCCR executive director. We have enough support across the state that this will pass."
Advocates for medical marijuana, like Rachel Burke, a breast cancer survivor, said its a good and necessary option to have.
With chemo, you're putting such a toxic poison in your body, and then you're putting more toxins in your body, said Burke.
Burke added the medication was also very harsh, which is one of the reasons she chose to support the Compassionate Care Act.
To be able to use something that's botanical and natural substance, had it been an option, I might've considered it, she said.
The BCCR said it is also a great help to have OBriens support because he is a member of the state Senate's health committee, which will need to support the bill before the full Senate votes.
Burke said she hopes other lawmakers will take OBriens lead.
"It can be used more as a benefit than anything else and to come around to 2014 where it doesn't have the stigma attached to it," she said. "Its about time.

Shut OutYou say friend,
You said the end,
You call me out,
You called me to shout.
When was I your friend again?
Was it just now or back then?
Why did you run right through me?
What is it you see?
Friend is a funny word I know,
Foe is all that you show,
Friend is only when it is right,
Foe is when we always fight.
Holding on to that last thread,
Held on to what little you said,
Hell if I suffer you know,
Hardly a care you show.
Friend is someone you can trust,
Foe is someone out for lust,
Friend is someone til the end,
Foe is someone who isn't your friend.
I thought it was too good to be true,
Fight for everything I do,
But when I feel this is the end,
I will shut out every friend.
Now hold on tight true friend,
If you care about the end,
Not using me for a ride,
Not just a place to hide.
EmpathyThey said I was crazy,
Holding the knife in my hand,
But I just think they're lazy,
Because I wasn't what they planned.
I closed my eyes one day,
As the friend before jumped,
Pain and fear did I say,
Their body now slumped.
But no one could understand,
Why I wouldn't move,
I wasn't what they planned,
I didn't fit in the perfect groove.
I'd sleep for days as if comatose,
Riding out the suicidal pain,
As friend after friend took the dose,
When they had nothing to gain.
Death is one I cannot stand,
Knowing when each would die,
I wasn't what they planned,
Knowing that I could lie.
Keep a straight face while they raged,
Drama and love all around,
Yet I felt as if I aged,
While they all were frozen ground.
Never changing land,
While I blew away,
I wasn't what they planned,
That's what they say.
If I dropped my guard,
Their rage became mine,
My judgment would be scarred,
And that's where I draw the line.
Twice I've lost to flames they fanned,
The memory lost on me,
I wasn't what they planned,
Sacrifice My HeartYou said you loved me the night before,
But I couldn't take that anymore,
When the chance came the next day,
I sat there and here's what I say:
"She loves you and you her,
Now don't let this hate occur,
I'll push you together now,
So I can uphold my vow."
She agreed to his asking her out,
Though I nearly wanted to shout,
Knowing that the sacrifice was right,
As I sit alone tonight.
Bleed out I knew I would,
Though all is as be it should,
Now you can't hear,
As my heart does tear.
It was something stupid I know,
My heart does show,
How much I do need to cling,
To the one that makes me sing.
Sacrifice for your happiness I do,
I wasn't meant to love you,
But my vows hold me to him,
The one I loved on a whim.
So be happy my friend,
This is the end,
Holding back with tears on my face,
This is the last time we'll see this place.

These Quotes from Today's Whitey Bulger Sentencing Are Exactly Like the End of A Mob Movie
Byon November 13, 2013
The most notorious gangster of the late-20th century, Whitey Bulger, began his sentencing today. The first part was supposed to take three days. It took about 90 minutes.
But it was an incredible 90 minutes.
Judge Denise Casper gave Bulger the right to speak. He refused. She then gave those close to victims -- even in cases that the court deemed there was "no finding" -- the right to speak.
What transpired was essentially a montage at the end of a mob movie, with loved ones of Bulger's victims calling him a rat, a coward, and worse than a disease. Bulger didn't look up or acknowledge any of it.
The sentencing broke down at the end with the son of one Bulger victim saying the FBI and the Department of Justice was at least complicit -- or, at most, had a hand in a bunch of the killings. It was a textbook setup for a sequel. But here's the end of the first one.
Patrick (Callahan) finishes - "you won't even turn around and look at us? Coward." Jonathan Hall (@JHall7news) November 13, 2013
Timmy Connors to Bulger: "Not all fathers are evil one-armed men who beat their children." Garrett Quinn (@GarrettQuinn) November 13, 2013
"Your legacy is already cemented as a rat and a scammer which you are. You serve less of a purpose on this Earth than Reye syndrome" #Bulger Garrett Quinn (@GarrettQuinn) November 13, 2013
Note: Reye Syndrome is the disease that killed Whitey's 6-year-old son in 1973.
Kelly: Whitey Bulger is "a disgrace to the Irish." Garrett Quinn (@GarrettQuinn) November 13, 2013
Marie O'Brien shortest remarks yet, closes with "We got you, you rat!" #Bulger Garrett Quinn (@GarrettQuinn) November 13, 2013
Davis: "I'd like to strangle him myself." "This son of a bitch should look in my eyes. You piece of shit. Look at me." Lenny Rowe (@LRowe30) November 13, 2013
Davis: "I hope Whitey dies as she did, gasping for breath, his last breath." #Bulger Garrett Quinn (@GarrettQuinn) November 13, 2013
McGonagle: "in the end, you're really just an ... irrelevant old man." Jim Armstrong (@JimArmstrongWBZ) November 13, 2013

- Loved it!TerryDined on 8/10/2014The salmon, mashed potatoes, and sautéed spinach were the best I've had in a long time! Perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. Yum!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellent foodGP10Dined on 8/2/2014Brunch was awesome, will definitely return. Go for the ricotta pancakes, so filling, but worth it.Special Features:
- The following 97 reviews are from the The Ainsworth reviews archive.
- Food is very averagefoodhopperDined on 6/19/2014Looks a lot better than it is. Was highly recommended so I tried it out & took some clients for a casual week night catch up & to watch a game. The food was very ordinary bar style. The wings were fatty/lacked flavor, I think they were undercooked. The nachos needed to be sent back - the cheese inside was uncooked/cold. They recooked it but instead of cooking it slowly, they seemed to simply remove the cheese & tourched the outside. The wit staff disappear for extended periods. The lady overseeing the entire barstaff was really good at saying sorry but not much else. It is very loud & difficult to hold a conversation, if that's what you like. However, it's a beautiful space & a great place to watch sport. Shame they can't get it right.Special Features:
- JetsetterDined on 5/24/2014We watched the NBA playoffs there, the vibe was energetic, the food was great and there were enough flat screens to accommodate everyone. We will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This place was a let downOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/18/2014It took us an hour to get food, they forgot my friend's wine, my turkey burger tasted "off." I was very disappointed as I had heard good things...
- I wanted to watch the Heat game..FoodandSportsDined on 5/10/2014I wanted to watch the Heat game, so my friends and I specifically chose a restaurant that was also a sports bar. When we arrived for our reservation, I asked the hostess for a table where we could see the tvs, specifically one that was right in front of us and available. She informed me that I needed to reserve those tables and when I told her that I had a reservation, she said that didn't matter. So heads up, if you make a reservation with intentions to see a tv, it may be better to call and request specific tables that have proper viewing, rather than doing it online and being put in any spot where you may have to squint to see their small tvs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too much of an institutionOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 5/2/2014Went there to watch both NY Rangers and Brooklyn Nets games that were on TV at time same time. Staff kicked us out of our tables before the games were over due to another reservation. What sort of sports bar does that? Also, seems too overpriced.Special Features:
- Mixed experienceJustdroppinginDined on 4/30/2014Really not sure why a "sports bar" would feature relentlessly thumping music, which seemed like the same noise loop playing over and over. Would recommend they drop it a few decibels and let the actual sports fan cheer or jeer over the din. We were told the food was the drawing and it was overall good, though the Branzino was inedible and the salmon very mediocre. Stick to pub basics and steaks and you'll do alright, better still find a real sports bar.
- CynthiaVIPDined on 4/27/2014While the prices are reasonable, the food was just so-so. Our order included eggs benedict and steak and eggs. One of my eggs had a sour taste to it. The steak wasn't bad. The order of fries was ok - not crispy enough. I would not recommend this restaurant, unless you wanted to watch a sporting event - plenty of TVs all around. If you must go, go for the game, not the food.
- Good sports bar restaurantJTC713Dined on 4/24/2014Went here with a bunch of people. Had a great time. The staff was nice and helpful. Food was good too. Beer selection seemed a bit limited, but nevertheless adequate. Surprised that they didn't have Heineken Light. Overall, it was a good time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday afternoonFudgeDined on 4/20/2014Was quiet on Easter Sunday food was okay, a little pricey for a small hamburger on English muffin- $16.00. Fries were soggy not crispy. Not bad but not great either. Liked Ainsworth Park much better.Special Features:
- over priced sports barOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/20/2014Been here for a college game and drink specials made cost reasonable. Came here for brunch and not worth the cost. Otherwise a classy alternative to a sports bar but 13 dollar bloody marys and 15 dollars eggs over easy are a bummer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to watch sportssarbDined on 4/13/2014They were great arranging the tv's to fit all the games we wanted to watch. Service was very, very slow, but the general atmosphere was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Server was excellentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/15/2014I will be back. Great service. Great cucumber gin drink!Special Features:
- Stay away!OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 2/21/2014They were out of most items on the menu, screwed up our order.. Service was deplorable, would not go back again.Special Features:
- Too NoisyHatchsmitjDined on 2/20/2014Decent food and staff but cavernous, loud music with heavy bass and terrible acoustics. You cannot carry on a conversation without shouting and constantly asking your dinner mates to repeat what they said.Special Features:
- The food was HORRIBLE!!!JPNYCVIPDined on 2/17/2014You couldn't pay me to go eat there again. The tuna tacos were fishy, the spinach artichoke dip was watery, the nachos were soaked with grease, the sliders & wings were dry. The whole meal was just wrong and awful. Oh and the bloody mary, skip that too! If you like beer and fries maybe this place is for you, other then that seek somewhere else out.
- Good sports barJessNYCVIPDined on 2/12/2014Ainsworth is a good high end sports bar. It wasn't very crowded because of the impending storm. The service was great and the food was pretty decent for a sports bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We showed up at eleven am.AwesomeVIPDined on 2/9/2014We showed up at eleven am. The verbaige used by our server was all wrong. We ordered food and she said "ooo I am a fat girl too" ...bad commentary. Even though we told her we were on a time constraint- the food came forty-five minutes later- it was sub par and we had asked for it three times. Not good. We chose it because it was right accross the street from where we needed to be. Would not go back.
- OKay spotOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 1/14/2014Food was too "meh" for the price. Patrons seemed to be very bro-y which is not my scene; will not be back. Good happy hour though.
- Good for Happy HourOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/8/2014Young professional crowd, upscale sports bar, better-than-bar food, good drinks. Great for a casual happy hour. Would not recommend, however, if interesting or delicious or healthy dining is the main intention.Special Features:
- Big fan - disappointed by serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 1/6/2014Used to be my favorite bar in the city. Although my last visit was horrible. I called twice to make sure that my table of 8 that I reserved a week on advance would be in the middle section away from the door. They assured me both times that the request was noted and I would be all set . When I arrived they seated is right by the door even though 2 other tables were open (reserved but unoccupied). I have no tolerance for that, especially when we had plenty of advance and could have made our reservation elsewhere.
- Good FoodJredstangVIPDined on 12/23/2013Went on a Monday night before Christmas Eve and found a relatively quiet restaurant. Food came quick, was tasty, and looked attractive. Waitress wasn't as prompt with other services and checking in but overall it was a nice night. Pricey for some items but for a special occasion or a fun night out ... price isn't importantSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not for a weekday lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 12/16/2013I've been to the Ainsworth a number of times and while the food is solid, the service- specifically weekday lunch- is consistently terrible. While she was very nice, I'm pretty sure our waitress was the only one working and with 8-10 tables of other diners is was not ideal. More than once we had to get up to find her to order drinks and even put in our order. I had hoped that they had gotten their lunch game together, but sadly it seems that in the year since I had been there they have not.
- Great Lite LunchgastrogirlDined on 12/11/2013We stopped in before going to the Wendy Williams show. I had chosen the restaurant on line because of the delicious sounding salads, and they were delicious. We had two different shrimp salads and they were both great. Would definitely go back and tell others to go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A bit noisy but worth tryingymvgDined on 12/3/2013The ambience is ok, but a little bit noisy. The food was very nice for an informal dinner. Worth trying.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot for post-work dinnerMargotDined on 12/3/2013Really enjoyed my meal at the Ainsworth. The food was exactly what we were looking for and the appetizers were so tasty. Really enjoyed the energetic music and bar scene.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Tuesday night spot for a groupStickyEaterDined on 10/29/2013Had family in town an needed a decent midtown spot. Ainsworth came to mind, and I'm glad it did. We had to sit near the entrance due to kids under 21, but that was no problem. Sound levels are borderline too high- hard to hear from one end of table to the other. Worried about the food grade letter, but in the end the food was good. Hope they get back to A! I've been here before and the bar scene is great for after work, plenty of room and stand-up tables. Recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SlowrumsDined on 10/22/2013Slow, every order was taken way to late, drinks, appetizers and entrees. Once we did finally get our food it was good though. K
- Good food, not great conversationMSM13VIPDined on 10/9/2013Loved the food and decor, happy to have tried it. Sadly went there to catch up with friends and couldn't hear anything they said over the noise of the sports bar atmosphere I wasn't expecting. Would still likely return, just caught off guard. Great service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- food just- eh....OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/8/2013Great location, nice ambiaence. Too noisy for any converstion. Dinner menu was average to me. Food was not the best quality I thought was going to be. Good spot to gather with friends, drink & if you don't care what you eat when you ge the munchies.Special Features:
- For sports loversTK81Dined on 9/30/2013Great place if you're looking to eat and watch a game, but the prices are definitely Manhattan. Also not a place to meet new people, more about staying at your table with whoever you came with.Special Features:
- Bring EarplugsKris1006Dined on 9/20/2013I came here with a group and we were seated towards the front of the restaurant, away from the bar. I think this was probably the most quiet section but the music was still so loud that we had to scream at each other in order to hear each other talk. The service was surprisingly slow despite the fact that the dining area was only half-full. The food was pretty good but no one could get past the loud music and we rushed to finish our meals so that we could leave. It was such a relief when we finally did. I would only recommend The Ainsworth if you don't want to talk to the person you're dining with, because it is almost impossible to do so here.Special Features:
- Don't Miss: Shortrib Grilled CheeseAnnieEVIPDined on 8/30/2013Dropped in for a drink and quick bite to eat and was happily surprised. Wonderful cocktails and delicious food! Service was excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisasterPhil50VIPDined on 8/28/2013We have dined here before. We had reservations. Upon arrival, there was an "event" of college football fans. It was quite noisy, but we were seated. We ordered drinks and food. We received our drinks. After a while, we were asked for a credit card or driver's license to hold until we left because they were concerned that people might leave without paying. I told the waitress that I was not part of that group. I was having dinner with my family and would not comply. She sent over a supervisor. He would not bend, so I told him to cancel the food and bring a check for the drinks. I waited forever for the check. I told him that he lost a regular customer.
- Empty restaurant had slow serviceLuv4foodVIPDined on 8/27/2013Service was unbelievably slow during lunch and the restaurant wasn't busy. Disappointing when having lunch on a special occasion with colleagues within a specific time frame. Will not go back.Special Features:
- good brunchAmandaDined on 8/18/2013got a deal here on amazon local--pretty good food, more of a sportsbar than anything else. a nice place with decent food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- first visitOutstandingVIPDined on 8/9/2013This was the first time staying in this area and we found this lovely bar, pretty big considering most bars in NYC are so tight. the food good and so were the drinks. The Ainsworth Bloody was a hit with me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- classy sports bar decent foodJjnycVIPDined on 8/3/2013went with a bunch of friends. it wasn't game night so noise was fine for dinner and food was way better than expected. drinks were decent including the wines. Bill was not outrageous and we had fun. It's a cool atmosphere. When bar got busy around 11pm the noise made it hard to have a conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

He has given the first modern performances and made the first recordings of several important manuscripts that have come to light recently. Other recordings include the complete keyboard music of William Byrd on seven CDs for Hyperion, the complete organ music of Louis Couperin, and the newly-discovered autograph manuscript of harpsichord music by Henry Purcell, now in the British Library. He has also published nearly two dozen standard editions of Baroque music (including Bach's The Art of Fugue, which includes his own completion of the unfinished final fugue).
Born in Britain in 1950, of Irish-Italian parentage, he was educated in London, Paris and Berkeley. He has lived in France since 1980 and now divides his time between giving organ and harpsichord recitals, recording and teaching.

St. Sabina Comments
St. Sabina's feast day is August 29th. We know St. Sabina only through legend, and there is some question as to its trustworthiness. Even the century in which she lived is unknown. Supposedly Sabina was converted to Christianity by her Syrian servant Serapia. During the persecution of Emperor Hadrian, Serapia suffered martyrdom for her Christian Faith. It is believed that St. Sabina was murdered for the Faith about a month later. The reknowned ... Continue Reading

Per New Advent:
St. Sabina
Widow of Valentinus and daughter of Herod Metallarius, suffered martyrdom about 126. According to the Acts of the martyrdom, which however have no historic value, she lived at Rome and was converted to Christianity by her female slave Serapia. Serapia was put to death for her faith and later, in the same year, Sabina suffered martyrdom. In 430 her relics were brought to the Aventine, where a basilica, which is very interesting in the history of art, is called after St. Sabina. Originally the church was dedicated to both saints. The feast of St. Sabina is celebrated on 29 August.

It is faith that commits a person to martyrdom. St. Sabina, pray for me to increase my faith!

In Sri Lanka during the reign of Dutch in 18th century Some Christians living in Mannar were killed because they were Christians and they were trying to protect the statue of Our Lady from being destroyed. This statue was found after so many years from inside a tree which is a common species in Mannar and even now being venerated at Madhu Shrine which is visited by all religious faiths during annual festivals of Our Lady.
My point is that these martyrs are not pronounced as saints though a church was built in the place where they were killed. My question is how could Sabina was declared a saint when her real history is not known and whether sh had performed any miracles to be elevated to the Saint hood.
4 years ago
the word "its" doesn't take an apostrophe when it is a possessive modifier, therefore, "its trustworthiness" is the correct spelling. you use the apostrophe when you are contracting "it" and "is" as in "it's great to learn about saint sabina." big difference.

Thanks for the info on St. Sabina. May I suggest that instead of the word "Supposedly," you use the words, "According to local traditions," or something like that? "Supposedly" sounds like you feel someone might be trying to pull one over on you, and that is not what you want to say.

When we opened our first store in 1989, we set out to do a few things differently.
Food quality is different. Our bread is baked fresh, in the store, all day long - and after only 4 hours, it goes in the "day old" bin. Our vegetables don't arrive at the store pre-shredded and vacuum packed; they're delivered fresh and whole. Cheeses aren't pre-sliced. Our meats aren't low-grade, pre-sliced leftovers; they're premium selects. Nothing is prepackaged or microwaved, no zap-it and wrap-it here! Freshness and quality are never compromised at Milio's Sandwiches.

Anonymous, Decentralized and Uncensored File-Sharing Is Booming 308
from the can't-stop-the-signal dept.
A true darknet would not depend on traditiona DNS (root servers). I can't immediately tell from their FAQ if their methods are entirely independent of DNS.
"...files that are downloaded from strangers always go through a trusted friend."
Doesn't that just make the "friend" instantly liable for contributory infringement? It's going to be hard (impossible)? for the "friend" to qualify for "common carrier" status, which could provide a safe harbor against an infringement suit.
It's true that this setup appears to be resistant to monitoring by outsiders, but keeping the people you don't want as members out of your online network is difficult, to say the least. It's certainly more work than busting up torrenters, but it's not exactly a difficult barrier either.
And, if I'm providing files, I want files downloaded TO strangers to go through one of my trusted friends (of course, that friend is going to have the contributory infringement problems I suggested earlier.) I don't give a *bleep!* about the downloader covering his tracks, (And when has the xxAA gone after downloaders? Don't they always go after uploaders?) I'm more worried about mine.
If you are being monitored the police/... can still see who you are talking to even if they can't understand what you are saying. OK: if messages are routed through a friend to some other ''accomplice'' it makes things a bit harder for them, but most private networks like this will not have huge numbers of people on them. Also you can learn a lot just by studying the timings of packets (eg: a packet from A to B is often followed by a similarly sized packet from B to C, it looks as if A is talking to C).
Yes, there are much stronger anonymous designs but the downsides are equally high. I'd call several of these recent designs "anonymous light", good enough that the MAFIAA can't just hook up and collect IPs but not good enough if you have the FBI, NSA or anything like that after you. Personally I don't like this design exactly because what if one of those I trust download something nasty? They'll come to me. I'd much rather see a design that affords some plausible deniability, that no it wasn't me it must have been one of the other nodes in the network, downloading through me.
Around here the only options for western media are pirate copies, either you torrent them or you pay for a pirate copy. Unfortunately, even the ones in fancy boxes are typically TV rips rather than real copies.
I'll delete the copies I have when I move back to the US, but it's pretty much the only access I have to my own culture right now.
Web of trust models will only work where there is an incentive to keep people out of the network. In the P2P world its just exactly the opposite. Users want as many other users on the network as possible because it speeds up their transfers and increases the amount of available content. You could use web of trust for something like e-mail where users generally want to prevent spoofs, scams, and spam.
I realize that users of P2P networks want to keep *some* people (FBI,Secret Service,DOJ,Interpol,[M,R]P?IAA employees ) off but for the most part they want users on. The next problem is you have the lowest common denominator issues. Again you want it to be simple enough that everyone and anyone can use it so you have content selection but that also means you get the same idiots who are still providing the account and routing numbers to 419 spammers. All mister federal agent needs to is promise to upload tons of free porn and John HighSchool is going to cross sign his PGP key.
It basically sounds like Perfect Dark [wikipedia.org], but with manual initial per-finding and weaker security (if you always have the same web of friends, you can likely be tracked by this web).
Now all of a sudden Google's new March first privacy policies make a lot of sense. If they can connect all the dots to reveal the connections things like DarkNet, Google would be of great value to the government and no one else need be any wiser.
Doesn't that just make the "friend" instantly liable for contributory infringement?
Yes, but that isn't a problem.
The entire point of a invite only method is to make sure that everyone invloved is trusted. The problem with many systems like that is that when it grows too big it becomes easier for soeone of the RIAA to be "a friend of a friend" and get access to the whole network that way.
By only allowing the users to get access to the network through the "close firends" a member of the RIAA that gets access to the network can only monitor the firend that invited him/her. This means that you only have to trust the ones you invite and don't have to worry about them later inviting som random stranger they met on the internet.
There are countries (France, afaiu) where encryption is illegal without a "licence".
So while many comments here say you simply can't ban encryption without banning safe commerce, that's not so true. The government simply makes using encryption require a license and said commerce sites get a license and commerce and advertising continues. Joe Average User doesn't get a license, and when he does use encryption (with another unlicensed party), they go to jail.
The one sticking point that I have never understood about such a situation though is that the government must also ban sending "garbage/random data" between two parties, otherwise how does it determine when two parties are using encryption and when they are just catting
This is a myth being propagated by MPAA & RIAA. As someone who's been around since the days of Hotline & IRC sharing, if anything, it's easier these days than before. Torrents are fast & there's not much you can't get from ISOHunt or TPB or the likes.
Pretty much this. I've been trading files online since years before even Napster was around, and it has never been easier than it is today. Hell, with our download speeds, we're getting close to instant gratification. Any reasonably popular album can be had in under a minute. You can pull down whole discographies in the time it took to download a single song 10 years ago. There are cams of any major movie online within hours of it's premier; blu-ray rips are out by street date, if not even sooner. Software is cracked before it even hits the streets...
There's just nothing that the MAFIAA can do to stop it. File sharing is a modern-day hydra, cut one head off, two grow in it's place, and short of monitoring everyone 24/7, which costs orders of magnitude more than the alleged "profits" they're "losing", they're never going to be able to keep up with it.
Don't you worry too much. The reason why this isn't going to be the end of the internet is the same that NoScript, AdBlocker and whatnot weren't: Too many people who won't use it.
I don't know about you, but I use adblocker, NoScript and a few tools that disable tracker cookies and whatnot. What would change if I didn't use them? Not that much, actually. I'd just have to wipe my history clean manually and endure longer loading times for banners to load that I don't click at. The change for the ad industry? Generally, zero.
But I'm a minority, and this is why this model works. For every non-cooperative asshat like me that thwarts the attempts of the ad and profiling companies, there's at least a thousand who cooperate, who have a facebook profile filled with all kinds of personal info, who not only have banners displayed but also click them.
Your sky-is-falling prophecy of doom is akin to the cry heard when VCRs were labeled the doom of private TV because (teh horrorz!) people could not only skip ads with them but actually cut them out of shows!
Guess what? 30+ years of VCRs (and now even other, more sophisticated means of time shifting and recording that take a lot of work out of de-ading movies) and private TV is stronger than ever.
The problems with using Tor in this manner are:
Storage servers are required; there is no way a popular file sharing site would remain undetected even if it were deployed as a hidden service. It would require too many resources to run, and eavesdropping would not even be necessary to narrow down the targets.
Bandwidth is too limited; it would take days to download an HD movie over Tor, which is even less convenient than going to the nearest video store to buy it legally.
Personally I'm surprised that nobody has come up with an application that basically merges what TOR and Freenet does into one. A distributed storage would provide both the capacity and the upload bandwidth, while freeing up resources from onion sites. The network bandwidth is actually not that bad, I've had files run at 200 kB/s when connected to a high-speed site in the normal web. Of course if people did that in volume the exit nodes would choke and die, but the network itself is rather capable if you could move the files on the inside.
Having never heard of this software before and hearing about it now I'm betting that usage is again about to shoot up!
The "content providers" really need to get a clue. this comic says it all IMO -> http://theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones [theoatmeal.com]
They make it ever harder to get content and then wonder why people are sharing more and more. I have pretty much ceased downloading MP3 because I can easily and cheaply get them from Amazon. I have pretty much ceased BUYING E-books because publishers jacked prices through the roof and I can download them in SECONDS. I download and save TV shows for later viewing often even though I have a couple of TiVO and record many of the same shows. That saves me the EFFORT of pulling them off my TiVO, editing them, compressing them, and copying them. If the transaction is easy ala Amazon's MP3 (which even copy to cloud storage!) then the sales will come. Perhaps it won't be at the astronomical prices these idiots dream of but it sure beats a lost sale doesn't it? Their idea is to bottle things up such that everyone is FORCED into their business model - I'm sorry but that's not going to ever happen. Make the transaction friction-less, have an extensive easy to use catalog, and make it cheap enough I'll buy it like some throwaway app in an app store and "content" will sell like hotcakes.
Now then, I'm off to download and check out this new program. It will sure beat having folks over with portable drives for swap parties or participating in huge Torrent clouds!
If you were on a metered ISP, you'd be getting that discount.
25,000 downloads a day is utterly trivial in comparison to the hundreds of millions of downloads of file sharing software from CNET alone, let alone other sites:
http://download.cnet.com/windows/p2p-file-sharing-software/?tag=mncol%3Bsort&rpp=10&sort=downloadCount+asc [cnet.com]
The amusing part of the CNET downloads, is that CNET is owned by CBS, a major media company. So any attempt by CBS to sue file sharers can be countered by the fact that they encouraged it by distributing the software on a massive scale. The same story, on not as massive scale, is true for Fileplanet, owned by IGN, which is a division of News Corp, owners of Fox:

He who steps on others to reach the top has good balance.

Food Agenda 2020
A National Petition: The Organic Solution to the Climate Crisis
Given the fact that the direct (CO2, nitrous oxide, and methane) and indirect (deforestation, draining of wetlands) greenhouse gas emissions from factory farms and chemical and energy-intensive industrial agriculture constitute the majority of greenhouse gases,
We call on U.S. elected officials, political candidates, and regulatory agencies to support and implement the following three public policies:
1: Implement Truth in Labeling
Give consumers the opportunity to freely choose sustainable, climate-friendly, humane, and healthy products by requiring GMO, pesticide, antibiotic, hormone, CAFO, GHG, and country-of-origin labels on foods and products sold in grocery stores and restaurants. At the same time we must safeguard consumer choice by maintaining strict certification and labeling standards for products which are organic, Fair Trade, or genuinely healthy and sustainable.
2: Stop Subsidizing Destructive Policies
Stop subsidizing industrial food and farm production, fossil fuels, and resource wars, and instead use these funds to promote and qualitatively fast-track clean energy, a green jobs economy, and organic farming. It is currently estimated that U.S. taxpayer subsidies to the fossil fuel and industrial food and farm sectors amounts to $60 billion a year, while wars for oil and strategic resources in Iraq and Afghanistan are costing us $200 billion annually. The money wasted on wars and industrial agriculture by the U.S. alone is enough to fast-track the conversion of the U.S. and global economy to organic agriculture and clean energy and save the world from climate catastrophe.
3: Build an Organic and Green Economy
Begin the phase-out of industrial agriculture's most energy, GHG-intensive, and hazardous practices. These practices include the massive over-production of livestock and animal products, Genetically Modified (GM) crops and biofuels, toxic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, sewage sludge on farm lands, and slaughterhouse waste in animal feed. Ban factory farm CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) and all inhumane confinement of farm animals.

Background Notes to the Food Agenda Petition
- To stabilize our already chaotic climate and to avoid catastrophic global warming of 2-7 degrees centigrade or more, we must reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) pollution from our current unsustainable global level of 389 parts CO2 per million to 350 ppm or below. Otherwise, we face massive crop failures, starvation, water shortages, pestilence, and unending wars for dwindling natural resources.
- In practical terms, this means reducing current fossil fuel use (especially in the food, transport, housing, military, and utilities sectors) by 90% by 2050; while sequestering or storing as much CO2 as possible in the soil through organic soil management and reforestation.
- By the year 2020, the U.S. needs to generate at least 30% of its energy from solar, wind, and other renewable sources (currently at 6%, while Denmark is at 20%).
- By 2020, 25% of our food needs to be certified organic (currently it is 4%), while drastically reducing the most-devastating greenhouse gases spewed out by industrial food and farming, methane and nitrous oxide.
- Only 1% of the U.S.'s 435 million acres of cultivated farmland are currently certified organic. In addition to drastically reducing fossil fuel energy use and slashing GHG emissions, each acre of farm, pasture, or range land brought under organic cultivation or management can safely sequester or store the equivalent of 7,000 pounds of climate-destabilizing CO2 per year.
- If all of U.S. farmland (not to mention pasture) were managed organically, we would be able to sequester almost 25% of all current GHG emissions, while significantly reducing fossil fuel use.
