Tutorial on the implementation of In App Purchase for Android.
Have written other tutorials on this site.
I am also a site moderator.
If you're seeking an experienced Android developer to innovate and excel within your company, my computing skills, dedication to achieve and professional drive will prove invaluable. Good communication and logical thinking come as second nature, meaning an excellent ability to learn and develop is inherent in my skill set.
I have worked on great and interesting Android applications that now have combined downloads of over one million and I'm looking for that next step where I can have a real impact on a project and have a single application hit one million downloads alone.
October 2012 - Current
Team Lead for 10 developers Hudl 2 My Tesco Launcher application
Team Lead for 7 developers Hudl 1 Tesco Groceries application - over 750,000 app installs
Lead developer MUBI android application
• Full Android development lifecycle - From inception to release & updates
• In-depth Android craftsmanship - Best practice & optimised code for the platform
• Writing unit & functional tests - Allowing faster & safer feature development
• Tesco Groceries Application - Pre-installed on tablets & predicted over 500,000 downloads
I make pairing and knowledge sharing an integral part of my job. I go out my way to complete code reviews and have setup a competitive game on our continuous integration box to encourage coding best practice and team discussions. I am also customer facing, eliciting requirements, estimating work stories and gathering customer feedback.
August 2011 - October 2012
• Agile development - SCRUM, KanBan, TDD
• Technologies - Android, Java, SQLite
• Full Android app development lifecycle - Application has 4/5 stars on Google Play
• Connecting with RESTful Web services - XML / JSON parsing
• Unit tests - Developed tests to keep coverage above 75% tested
• Implementing best practice and support features - 500,000 unique users compatible with 1200 devices
Working in an agile SCRUM hybrid development environment. I am involved in Android development from inception to release. I estimate work for future iterations, swarm on testing when necessary and release the production app. Implemented an automated build that runs our Android unit, lint and functional test suite then uploads to the cloud. This allows Quality Assurance to start testing on devices straight away. The automation has also freed up developers improving iteration velocity by ~10%.
September 2009 - September 2012
• Full app development lifecycle
• Connecting with RESTful Web services
• Use of MediaPlayer, Intent, Broadcast Receiver, AppWidget APIs
• Considerations of Portrait/Landscape/Screen size for each device
Grapple Arts - A suite of video tutorial application's with tablet & phone optimisations - over 10,000 paid downloads
Destiny Cards - A scrolling gallery of selectable cards with high res images for each device form factor
GymBabes - A multimedia application working across Android versions - now has over 500,000 downloads
Fun Kids Films - A video application with specific support for tablets and the use of Googles application extension framework
2010 - 2012
I moderate the forum.
Including having access to the posts and threads of all members for the purpose of moderating discussion (similar to arbitration) and also keeping the forum clean (neutralizing spam and spambots etc.).
I also answer users' concerns about the forum, general questions, as well as respond to specific complaints.
I do anything I can to lend a helping hand to a user in need.
June 2009 - August 2011
• Agile development - Android, Java, Groovy, Javascript, SQLite
• Developing in web based frameworks - Work on website that runs ~1.3mil train time searches a day
• Android app development - Applied coding patterns to reduce app redesign from 5 days to 1 day
• Functional & Unit tests - Improved testing project run speed to be 33% faster
Work within an agile team developing the back end of websites and databases. One example of this is the parsing and storage of 5.2million XML postcodes; improved this from an initial 6 hours to a speedy 18 minutes.
Regularly update our in-house wiki. This has allowed new members joining the team to have their environments setup and running twice as fast with greater understanding of our core values.
Solely implemented demonstration software (Google Web Toolkit) that recently helped win Thales a fifty seven million pound contract.
May 2008 - December 2008
• Porting and debugging mobile code – Analytical skills
• Developing and extending java classes to include new features – Problem solving
• IT Desktop Support – Helped perfect my communication skills with business users
At Emote Games Ltd, I worked as part of a six person team that relied on each other to deliver different aspects of core projects in an agile environment.
Development work at Emote Games involved the use of an established code base and core libraries which made it necessary to process and understand other coding styles before implementation.
2005 - 2008
My dissertation involved writing a J2ME programme that allows social organisation of event nights via public interaction using Bluetooth.

I have had masses of impatiens all summer. Every year they just spring up, "volunteers" in all colors. Suddenly about two weeks ago, I only have bare stems with a few leaves at the top and here and there a single blossom! Huge plants are only bare stems! What is most odd is that I can see no fallen leaves! What happened to them? Could it be downy mildew (read about on this Forum). We have have had a wet, humid Spring. I live in Central Virginia.
Thanks very much! |

Hispoesis,My post titled "Drowning Impatiens" is on the Forum a few posts above yours.I went out to look and I did find some downy mildew on some potted impatiens (which are also now dying)!!There is a good article on the post on this forum titled "Sick Impatiences"(spelling is wrong).Scroll down and read the comments and you will see one with a link called "Downy mildew".Click on that and it takes you to an informative article on the impatiens problem!!By the way what does "hispoesis" mean? |

I haven't seen a healthy looking impatiens (walleriana) plant in my area for a couple months. Downy mildew appears to be pretty widespread. |
That's awful about the disease epidemic of downy mildew. I've read where incorporating vermicompost into the potting medium helps boost immunity to several plant diseases. I wonder if it would be effective against this disease? |

It is a photocell for something. They turn things on when it gets dark, usually lights. It could be on a switch or constantly powered. |
Oh, thanks. It is probably what turns on the light on the post at the end of the driveway. |

stick a piece of tape on it in the daytime and watch to see if the light comes on. It might take a few minutes but that should show you what it controls for certain. |

The box still gets wet inside, no matter how well you try to gasket and seal it. Condensation alone enures water is present. |

I'm proposing a detailed investigative report on wealth and poverty in San Francisco, examining the local wealth divide and explaining its ramifications for the local economy and politics.
This will be an innovative, in-depth look at San Francisco's richest and poorest neighborhoods: the Marina/Cow Hollow, and the Tenderloin.
My report would reveal income disparities, wealth disparities, and also poignantly portray the stark contrasts on a human scale. I want to show on both macro and micro levels the daily realities and impacts of the astounding gaps in wealth and poverty here. I believe this story would be high-impact, and would potentially have policy ramifications in terms of influencing local politicians to explore ways of increasing public wealth through taxing or otherwise leveraging private wealth for the common welfare. This report would be journalistic, both investigative and explanatory.
This investigation would help both expand and deepen public awareness of wealth and poverty issues, and potentially influence local policymakers in their attempts to leverage private wealth for the public good. This report would also explain the economic and political implications of wealth gaps, and thus increase understanding and action on remedies to address poverty.

I don't go on so many of these tech conference junkets anymore. Maybe two a year? I could probably make it to three if I could ever get the print deadlines to interleave harmoniously with the conference dates, but the calendar never seems to comply. I've been going to big tech exhibitions for many years, though, and over those years, I've seen my share. I'm always amazed at how similar they all look on the surface – the visitors walking around with their badges around their necks, the exhibitors angling to scan the badges, some with little toys or rewards for a visitor who will stand close enough to hear the next talk about the next great technology.
I've stuffed many of these exhibitors' glossy brochures into my laptop case through the years. I sometimes wish I had kept them all just for the anthropological satisfaction of rediscovering the hype and swagger associated with technologies that disappeared from the scene so many years ago.

Hi, I'm very new to growing roses and still learning a great deal. I have some rose bushes and now two roses trees all in pots. I sprayed them all yesterday morning with a combination of water, baking soda, and a tiny bit of soap. I originally sprayed my rose bushes after finding black spots. Yesterday I also sprayed my rose trees as one of them had aphids. This morning I found that both of my rose trees have little black spots on the under side of the leaves, only where I sprayed. Obviously I hurt them doing this, but not sure why? ? ? The rose bushes did just fine on multiple occasions with such treatment. Any thoughts? |

1st, baking soda sprays are essentially ineffective against black spot (the disease). They can be effective against powdery mildew and other fungal diseases, just not black spot. High temperature and high humidity are two variables that can greatly increase phytotoxicity (damage to plants). The general rule for sprays of any kind is to avoid application when the temperature is above 85. Leaf temperature is the real issue, meaning sunny days are worse than cloudy days. Leaf temperature can be up to 15 degrees higher than air temperature during an average sunny summer day. High humidity causes two problems. First, it slows the evaporation of active chemicals, meaning the stick around longer and have more opportunity to cause damage. This is probably not an issue with baking soda and soap, since neither evaporate appreciably. High humidity also decreases the ability of a plant to lower leaf temperature through evaporative cooling, which increases phototoxicity. Never spray when your plants are under moisture stress, as this is guaranteed to result in damage. |

- Posted by mimosamonster 9 (My Page) on Sat, May 11, 13 at 0:17
everyone in the south has blackspot problems lol if you are really desperate get a willow tree or some willow tree cuttings... aspirin also basically has the same active ingredient but people will flip because its technically not organic (even though it works a little different) .... basically Salicylic acid and artificial forms of it stimulate plant defense systems ... every couple of weeks might help some .... what varieties of roses are you growing? bs resistance varies widely... even amongst cultivars with respect to where they are grown. |

Here is a link that might be useful: Preventive measure for blackspots
- Posted by mimosamonster 9 (My Page) on Sun, May 12, 13 at 14:01
anytime :) i've selected really resistant varieties to avoid black spot... i got tired of dealing with it and subsequently found ogr in my area that are AMAZING. this question did get me remembering back to some of my experiments with it though and I remembered one that might be useful for you and your plants! i'm a huge health nut and i drink something called water kefir. its a fermented fruit juice beverage that is basically a DIY home probiotic. as i recall i had some good results spraying the stuff on the roses. some things about kefir. unlike yogurt which you buy in the store, kefir has strains that can actually colonize your gut... and the soil. in particular lactobacillus plantarum i believe is common to most kefir concoctions. this is a strain that is also associated with activating plant defense systems... some lab experiments have been able to raise overall defense molecules and even flavonals in select plants by inoculating them with this... it has amazing properties on humans. seemed to help the plants. |

Welcome to (SM)2I
The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) Summer Mathematics Institute is funded by the U.S. Department of Education (No Child Left Behind) and administered through the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning. Since over twelve years it is designed for in-service mathematics teachers in Mississippi. This year the Institute will concentrate on providing participants with professional training in the framework of Common Core State Standards (CCSS), which have been adopted by Mississippi Department of Education for full implementation in 2014-2015. Mathematics teachers in Mississippi are supposed to conform to these standards in the planning of rigorous lessons aiming at deeper learning and thinking. The experienced instructors on the team of the 2014 USM Summer Mathematics Institute, apart from increasing content knowledge of participating teachers, will provide them with specific training necessary to understand and implement the CCSS. The impact of the Institute on teaching mathematics will improve the achievements of Mississippi students in mathematics from the middle grades transitioning successfully into high school.

Defending the defenders: Human Rights Day 2010
In recent years, there have been significant advances in international thinking and action on indigenous issues and rights, including the landmark adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007.
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has played an important role in these developments and indigenous issues and the implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples remain a priority for the OHCHR.
The Office contributes actively to the Inter-agency Support Group on Indigenous Issues, notably to roll-out the UN Development Group Guidelines on Indigenous Peoples Issues. It conducts training on indigenous issues for UN Country Teams and for OHCHR field presences.
The Office also builds capacity amongst indigenous peoples, including through its fellowship programme for indigenous representatives, offered in four languages. Furthermore, the Office services the Board of Trustees of the Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Populations, composed of five indigenous representatives. The Fund supports the participation of representatives of indigenous communities and organizations in the annual sessions of the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
In addition, the Office assists the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous peoples, and it also supports the new Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including by organising its sessions. Following the inaugural session of the Mechanism, the Office organized an inclusive workshop to contribute to the Expert Mechanism's study on the right of indigenous peoples to education, which was submitted to the Human Rights Council in September 2009. The Office carries out a range of country specific and regional activities to advance the rights of indigenous peoples. It provides support for legislative initiatives and pursues thematic work on issues such as extractive industries and on the rights of isolated indigenous peoples.
United Nations Indigenous Peoples' Partnership
The United Nations launched a new initiative to promote and protect the rights of indigenous peoples, aiming to strengthen their institutions and ability to fully participate in governance and policy processes at the local and national levels. The initiative named the UN Indigenous Peoples' Partnership (UNIPP) was launched on 20 May 2011 at the side-lines of the 10th Session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. It will function through a Multi-Donor Trust Fund with the primary aim of supporting joint UN programmes at the country level, in partnership with indigenous peoples.
UNIPP Policy Board held its inaugural session on 20 July 2011 in Geneva, where the Policy Board adopted governance and operational documents, along with strategic priorities. The Policy Board identified focus countries and key thematic priorities: legislative review and reform; access to justice and strengthening of indigenous customary law and justice systems; access to land and ancestral territories; the impact of extractive industries on indigenous peoples; the right to education and health, and the rights of indigenous women, children and youth.
The United Nations‐Indigenous Peoples' Partnership is a collaborative framework established by the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
UNFPA recently signed on to the partnership after its launch in New York.
More information:
The United Nations Development Group approved Guidelines on Indigenous Peoples' Issues on 1 February 2008. The Guidelines are designed to assist UN Country Teams integrate indigenous peoples' issues into country policies and programmes. The Guidelines were drafted by a group on UN organizations and specialized agencies under the aegis of the Inter-Agency Support Group on Indigenous Peoples' Issues.

The global economic recession has rescued the world from an impending oil supply crunch, the consuming countries' watchdog agency said as it cut its medium-term oil demand forecasts.
The International Energy Agency now expects global oil demand to grow each year by a paltry 0.6 per cent or 540,000 b/d in 2008-2014, pushing consumption from 85.8m b/d to 89m b/d. That is considerably less than 1m b/d average yearly increase the IEA had expected last year. If the lower-end GDP forecasts turn out to be correct, oil demand could actually contract over the period, with consumption at 84.9m b/d in 2014.
This means the all-important cushion of spare supply capacity held by Opec is now expected to reach a healthy 7.8m b/d next year, or 8 per cent of demand. Compare that to last year's forecast, which had foreseen that cushion shrinking to a mere 1.67m b/d.

The California Highway Patrol is urging drivers to stay out of the Santa Barbara area during the royal couple's visit on Saturday to avoid potential traffic headaches.
CHP Officer Jeremy Wayland said if you do have to be on the state roads, be sure to give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination.
CHP officers will be out in full force in Santa Barbara County tomorrow, mostly focused on traffic control. No roads will be closed during the royal visit to the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club for a charity match.
They will strictly enforce no parking on streets in the immediate area that are off limits.
The club is on private property so you won't be able to go on the site unless you have a four thousand dollar ticket to watch the charity competition.

ActivitiesOne of the best things about Camp Woodmont is trying new activities. Campers choose a daily schedule of activities based on individual interests.
But, the cool stuff we do at Camp Woodmont are one-of-a-kind activities! Such as:
At night time, campers look forward to an event for the whole camp to enjoy. Whether it's a game of Battle Ball, Capture the flag, Counselor Hunt, Skit Night or International Folk Dancing, the campers can't wait to spend a fun-filled evening with all the campers and counselors. A DETAILED LOOK AT CAMP FROM CHECK-IN TO CLOSING CEREMONYArriving at camp on the first day bring many exciting and new feelings and emotions for campers. Campers are happy and excited as well as nervous and apprehensive especially on the first day at camp. We understand campers' wide range of emotions and try to make every effort to help every camper fit in and feel at home when they arrive. Campers at Camp Woodmont are gradually acclimated to their small cabin groups as well as the larger camp-wide group. After checking-in on Sunday afternoon, campers move their things into the cabin and then meet at the Beaver Lodge for the "Safety Talk." During the Safety Talk, we review potential hazards, such as tripping over roots and rocks, and other rules for camper conduct and behavior (emphasizing that no pranks or bulling will be tolerated). We also stress the importance of inclusion of all campers, and taking care of and respecting personal belongings. Then, we take the ever-so-popular "Group Photo" before supper. The first evening meal is an outdoor sack-supper with individual cabins. This gives the campers a chance to get to know their counselor and the other campers in their own cabin group and gives the counselor a chance to get to know each camper and to discuss cabin rules and procedures. After supper, campers and counselors enjoy an evening of large group games and get-to-know-you activities. Finally, Activity Sign Up is the last thing we do on this first evening together. Campers choose from a list of activities for their main activities schedule. The list of activities generally includes: Drama, Archery, Arts & Crafts, Field Games, Sports (including Kickball, Softball, Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball,) Canoeing, Challenge Course, Cheerleading, Dance, Fishing, Hiking, Horseback Riding, Climbing Wall/High Ropes, Swimming, Hiking, etc. Monday morning brings the start of activities with a 7:30AM wake-up bugle call followed by the flag-raising and breakfast. The daily morning devotional follows breakfast (the devotional consists of a short inspirational/motivational story or reading and is led on a rotating basis by the counselors and staff). After breakfast, campers return to their own cabins for clean-up and preparation for the day's activities. Camp Woodmont's philosophy is that camp should combine both structured daily activities as well as providing time for small-group activities of a more relaxed and informal nature. We feel that children need the opportunity to master new skills in structured settings as well as the chance to learn to work and play together in harmony with one another while living in a community setting. Activity periods last from 50-60 minutes with a 10-15 minute break between them. There are three morning activity periods before lunch and three activity periods in the afternoon. Lunch and rest time is from 12:30-2:00PM. Campers may rest quietly or write letters home during this time. Afternoon activities also include time for free swim and cabin activities where campers enjoy the company of their own cabin groups. Cabin time gives campers a chance to participate in special activities like: berry picking, building a camp-site (home in the woods), creek stomping, skit practice, singing songs, special games, scavenger hunts, special crafts, story-telling and much more. After supper and mail call there is time for large camp-wide group activities which include: theme nights, skit nights, counselor hunt, carnival night, special night nature hike, sports night, capture-the-flag, international-folk-dance, camp-fire programs, and related types of activities. At the end of the night activities, we rotate the boys and girls between having a campfire or pool party. One night, the boys will have a campfire and roast marshmellows, while the girls go to the pool, and the next night we will switch. After a day like this, most campers (and counselors too) are guaranteed an excellent night's sleep in the cool mountain climate. Sleeping bags are recommended as the mountain temperature drops nicely at night; even during the day the temperatures average 5-10 degrees cooler than in Atlanta or other lower altitude areas. Typically we have a cookout and campout Friday night or movie night. And, Saturday and Sundays feature special activities like our Weekend Survivor Competition, and Indian-Tracking, Creek Stomps, Pool Parties, and more. Our Sunday morning devotional service includes non-denominational inspiration and motivational stories, songs, and readings. After a busy week of structured activity, campers enjoy a more relaxed and casual atmosphere on Saturday and Sunday. Closing ceremony is every two-weeks on Friday afternoon at 2:30 pm. Campers come together for one last time to sing camp songs for their parents and recall the highlights of the week. It also gives parents time to take photos and for campers to say their good byes and exchange phone #s or addresses. |

Four Men Indicted in St. Mary's County Cocaine Conspiracy
Greenbelt, Maryland - A grand jury has indicted Tyron Anthony Butler, a/k/a "Red Dog," age 29, of Lexington Park, Maryland; Laray Anthony Maddox, a/k/a "Ray Ray," age 26, of Callaway, Maryland; Joseph Aloysius Maddox, a/k/a "Junior Maddox," age 41, of Great Mills, Maryland; and James Robert Shade, a/k/a "Buck Shade," age 31, of Lexington Park, for conspiracy to distribute cocaine and related charges, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein. The indictment was returned on September 8, 2008 and unsealed today upon the arrests of the defendants.
According to the 16 count indictment, from July 2004 through September 2008, the defendants conspired to distribute five or more kilograms of cocaine and 50 grams or more of crack cocaine in the Leonardtown and Lexington Park areas of St. Mary's County. According to information presented in court, over the course of the investigation agents made several controlled purchases of powder and crack cocaine and conducted surveillance of the defendants' activities at locations in St. Mary's County.
All the defendants face a maximum sentence of life in prison on the conspiracy charge; and 40 years in prison for distribution of and possession with intent to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine. Joseph Maddox and Laray Maddox also face a maximum sentence of five years in prison for use of a cellular telephone in committing and facilitating the narcotics conspiracy. The defendants had their initial appearances in federal district court in Greenbelt beginning at 2:45 p.m. today and were detained. Laray Maddox, Tyron Butler and Robert Shade have detention hearings scheduled on September 15, 2008 beginning at 1:45 p.m., and Joseph Maddox has a detention hearing scheduled on September 16, 2008, all before U.S. Magistrate Judge Charles B. Day.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Drug Enforcement Administration and St. Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron and his office for their investigative work in this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorneys James A. Crowell IV and Barbara Skalla, who are prosecuting the case.

Are you ready for some football?
Since Super Bowl is this Sunday I wanted to share another of my family's favorite party recipes – Parmesan Garlic Artichoke Dip. This dip is a thicker, chunkier artichoke dip, and is full of rich creamy flavor with a really great bite. I personally love the garlic in it… yum! Pair it up with some pita chips or tortilla strips and you're ready for the game!
I almost called this "Spicy Garlic Artichoke Dip," but I thought perhaps it wouldn't be quite as spicy as some people like it, so I opted for "Parmesan" instead. Feel free to spice it up just as much as you like by adding extra cajun seasoning or tabasco. I know everyone has a different view of spicy!
I hope you enjoy your snacks, the game, and the advertisements! (which is really what it is all about, right? ;))
Parmesan Garlic Artichoke Dip
- 2 cans quartered artichoke hearts, chopped (2-14oz cans water-packed)
- 1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 can green chilies, chopped (4 oz.)
- 1/3 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon Luzianne cajun seasoning (or tabasco)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup tomato, chopped
Step 1 | |
In a large bowl mix together chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, chilies, green onions, garlic, 1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese, seasoning, and lemon juice. | |
Step 2 | |
Spread into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with 2 Tablespoons grated parmesan. Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. | |
Step 3 | |
Remove from oven and if desired sprinkle with chopped tomatoes. Serve warm with pita chips or tortilla strips. |

Iride. Fine Italian Bicycles
Generations of Tradition
accumulation of wisdom
Iride bicycles possess a complimentary balance of traditional and advanced. The 3 U.S. models have steel frames of the most advanced metallurgy, joined with generations of knowledge in hand-made technique and finished in hi-tech powder coating. Then mated with high-end components and wheels, and carbon fiber forks. They are space age, old world and artisanal.
The classic sports car of bicycles
simplified direct high performance
The undeniable exhilaration provided by traveling the path in an open top sports car is the motivation for the straightforward designs of Iride bicycles. To embody this essence and create a resonant experience, the design team relies on simple honest genuine design elements, enhancing performance while reducing unnecessary complexity. Like the classic barchetta.
We are asked, why handmade?
crafted by the hand with knowledge
Complex equipment, like violins, guitars, mechanical clocks, or race cars, are often superior when made by hand. The experienced maker has insight into the use of the finished machine and understands where a little more finesse will gain increased performance.
Also, like the manager of Martin production says: "You know it's a machine made guitar the moment you pick it up" "You get a cold feeling from guitars that feel too machined."
Certainly a buyer can go out and get an expensive $3,000 or $8,000 bicycle from one of the major brand names. But it will surely have no soul.
When fussing over construction details, the master builder is able to impart individuality and personality to the machine, seemingly a heart. Owners often stare at their bicycle, looking over the shapes with awe and affection. People name their bike. Most people form an emotional bond with their bicycle; it is not a bad idea to get a bike with the ability to love you back.
Easy Acceleration
dr Clayton Curtis accelerating phd
Of Iride bicycles, "I find that the acceleration is surprising." says Clayton Curtis, Ph.D., Associate professor, New York University, Neural Science Center. "The acceleration is amazing. I feel that I could do the same top speed as my racing bike, but this Iride really accelerates." Dr. Curtis says.
Subtle High Performance
for going places
Iride bicycles are dialed-in for high-performance yet casual riding.
They are for going places.
While worthy of racing, Iride bicycles are primarily employed to require less energy going fast on everyday urban pavement.
You don't have to go fast, but when it is easier to go fast, you arrive with less perspiration.

Cochise County weighs change to inspection program
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. -- Cochise County officials are studying a proposal to scale back the county's building code inspection program by allowing licensed contractors, architects and engineers to certify that certain types of work meets requirements.
County building official Jack Holden says architects and engineers would be responsible for certifying compliance for the plan review portion of projects, while participating contractors would be responsible for meeting building codes.
According to the Sierra Vista Herald, the proposed change wouldn't eliminate inspections for health, utility, septic, right of way, flood plain, setbacks, watershed or lighting code.
Holden says the idea generated by a county task force is to recognize the expertise of licensed contractors while conserving the county's resources.

Courbebaisse M et al. – Despite sustained and marked hypercalciuria induced by cinacalcet treatment, cinacalcet does not have adverse effects on glomerular filtration rate or on renal graft calcium deposits in the first year following renal transplantation.
Methods- The authors studied 71 renal recipients with hypercalcemic hyperparathyroidism.
- Of these patients, 34 received cinacalcet between month 3 and month 12 after renal transplantation.
- The authors compared phosphate calcium balance, measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal biopsies in cinacalcet-treated and non-cinacalcet-treated patients.
- Measurements were performed before initiating cinacalcet treatment (month 3) and at month 12.
- Patients treated with cinacalcet had more severe hyperparathyroidism.
- Serum PTH concentration decreased in both groups between months 3 and 12, but the decrease was much more important in cinacalcet-treated patients.
- Urinary calcium excretion significantly increased under cinacalcet treatment and was more than twice as high at month 12 as in patients who did not receive cinacalcet treatment.
- However, the hypercalciuria was not associated with an increase in calcium deposits on renal biopsies or an alteration of measured GFR.

Warm weather and cool music mingled like old buddies at EW's Music Lounge yesterday in Austin. Hosted at 219 West, the party starred more than piles of sliders, tater tots by the bucket, and pop-culture-pegged cocktails ("Pretty in Pink" margaritas, "Tainted Love" vodka tonics); there were some musical delicacies as well — specifically Gold Fields (above) and the Lone Bellow, which each put on a set for the bustling room.
The Lone Bellow kicked things off with their stripped-down folk-country, powered through tracks from their recently released self-titled album and commandeered the attention of even the most appetizer-obsessed partygoers (when you hear them sing a number like "You Never Need Nobody" and mean it, you'll put down your slider and shut your greasy mouth).

Some time ago have one request from a client about the option the social features.This client had special configurations on the SharePoint and didn't wanted to activate the "Tags and Notes" option to don't confuse the final Users, but want to use the "My Site" Links since they are using in all Farms.The first thought I have was turn off the "Tags and Note Board Feature Ribbon Controls".
When we access to SharePoint Central Administration and Manage the "Farm Features" the Feature "Social Tags and Note Board Feature Ribbon Controls" is activated and when we access to a SharePoint Site the social features will appear.
When I turned off this Feature the "My Site" and "My Profile" also disappear, after found this issue start to research how the Social Feature is configured. This feature is located in the Hive Folder where SharePoint 2010 is install with the name SocialRibbonControl "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\SocialRibbonControl"
This Feature have 2 different files, one is to configure the "Tag and Notes" Ribbon and the configure the new actions for Social Features.After some research on the content of the Files I started to create a new feature to response the new requisites.To manage the "My Sites" links I created a custom Feature where the action is associated, for this feature I added the Scope "Farm" and will be active for all SharePoint Sites.
To support the Activation of "My Sites" Links I add to the feature the following configuration action in the Feature support File. This action will add the "My Site" and "My profile" links without appear the "Tags and Notes" option.
To activate only this actions recommend deactivate the "Social Tags and Note Board Feature Ribbon Controls" and activate the new feature "My Site Links without Tag and Notes".
After this change you can access to your SharePoint Sites and validate if appear the "My Site" and "My profile" Link without "Tags and Notes"…

Reaching the Christmas and Easter Crowd
Every pastor encounters them: the Christmas and Easter faces that appear in church only on the holiest of days. It's easy to grow cynical about the once-or-twice-a-year crowd. On the other hand, holidays provide the opportunity to touch the lives of the "under-churched." John Huffman's perspective, originally published in the Los Angeles Times, offers insight and hope.
How do I feel about Christmas and Easter attenders?
I am excited to see them. I have a great desire to observe someone come to life-saving faith in Jesus Christ and then become active in the community we know as Christ's church. That's why on Christmas Eve and Easter, I try to present the very essence of what it is to be born again spiritually by the power of Jesus Christ.
I try to understand them. There may be valid reasons why some people come only on holidays.
Perhaps they have had traumatic experiences in church—even Christians can be cruel. Some may have been burned out by committee work. Perhaps the church didn't really preach Jesus Christ and was just a social club. Some have even been spiritually abused by an overeager family member who has tried to force them into the faith.
Others may have suffered a major personal tragedy that has rendered them emotionally incapable of sitting through a worship service.
I have a dear friend who quit attending after her mother died. She told me: "I can't maintain my composure when I hear those familiar hymns sung. I break down sobbing and embarrass myself."
Eight years ago, when our daughter Suzanne died, it was very difficult for my wife, Anne, to come to church. During the next few months, she had to make her own lonely odyssey of grief, dealing with it her way, as I did with mine.
I needed to be in church. Anne needed a bit of distance before she could reenter.
She says, "Going to church to worship God, to sing 'How Great Thou Art,' was salt in the wound of my broken heart! Protest to God and worship are often contradictory, so I stayed away for several months."
She has in some ways moved beyond me since returning, using her professional training as a psychoanalyst to lead grief recovery workshops within the community of faith.
For many young people who leave the church during their college years, another reason is the need for spiritual autonomy. They need to stand back, reflect, to make certain they are not just jumping through religious hoops. The faith needs to be theirs personally. Many eventually find a fresh, personal dimension to their faith in Jesus Christ and return to church, where they grow and serve, but not necessarily to the congregations of their youth.
For others, it is simply a case of rebellion against God. These persons stay away because they don't believe in God or they are very hurt by something God has allowed them to experience. Or they may know they're living with some area of unconfessed sin and they don't want to be hypocritical.
Some people have never really understood ...

The morning after noted child prodigy Colin Singleton graduated from high school and got dumped for the nineteenth time by a girl named Katherine, he took a bath. Colin had always preferred baths; one of his general policies in life was never to do anything standing up that could just as easily be done lying down. He climbed into the tub as soon as the water got hot, and he sat and watched with a curiously blank look on his face as the water overtook him. The water inched up his legs, which were crossed and folded into the tub. He did recognize, albeit faintly, that he was too long, and too big, for this bathtub—he looked like a mostly grown person playing at being a kid. As the water began to splash over his skinny but unmuscled stomach, he thought of Archimedes. When Colin was about four, he read a book about Archimedes, the Greek philosopher who'd discovered that volume could be measured by water displacement when he sat down in the bathtub. Upon making this discovery, Archimedes supposedly shouted "Eureka!" [1] and then ran naked through the streets. The book said that many important discoveries contained a "Eureka moment." And even then, Colin very much wanted to have some important discoveries, so he asked his mom about it when she got home that evening.
"Mommy, am I ever going to have a Eureka moment?"
"Oh, sweetie," she said, taking his hand. "What's wrong?"
"I wanna have a Eureka Moment," he said, the way another kid might have expressed longing for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
She pressed the back of her hand to his cheek and smiled, her face so close to his that he could smell coffee and makeup. "Of course, Colin baby. Of course you will."
But mothers lie. It's in the job description.
Colin took a deep breath and slid down, immersing his head. I am crying, he thought, opening his eyes to stare through the soapy, stinging water. I feel like crying, so I must be crying, but it's impossible to tell because I'm underwater. But he wasn't crying. Curiously, he felt too depressed to cry. Too hurt. It felt as if she'd taken the part of him that cried.
He opened the drain in the tub, stood up, toweled off, and got dressed. When he exited the bathroom, his parents were sitting together on his bed. It was never a good sign when both his parents were in his room at the same time. Over the years it had meant:
1. Your grandmother/grandfather/Aunt-Suzie-whom-you-never-met-but-trust- me-she-was-nice-and-it's-a-shame is dead.
2. You're letting a girl named Katherine distract you from your studies.
3. Babies are made through an act that you will eventually find intriguing but for right now will just sort of horrify you, and also sometimes people do stuff that involves baby-making parts that does not actually involve making babies, like for instance kiss each other in places that are not on the face.
It never meant:
4. A girl named Katherine called while you were in the bathtub. She's sorry. She still loves you and has made a terrible mistake and is waiting for you downstairs.
But even so, Colin couldn't help but hope that his parents were in the room to provide news of the Number 4 variety. He was a generally pessimistic person, but he seemed to make an exception for Katherines: he always felt they would come back to him. The feeling of loving her and being loved by her welled up in him, and he could taste the adrenaline in the back of his throat, and maybe it wasn't over, and maybe he could feel her hand in his again and hear her loud, brash voice contort itself into a whisper to say I-love-you in the very quick and quiet way that she had always said it. She said I love you as if it were a secret, and an immense one.
His dad stood up and stepped toward him. "Katherine called my cell," he said. "She's worried about you." Colin felt his dad's hand on his shoulder, and then they both moved forward, and then they were hugging.
"We're very concerned," his mom said. She was a small woman with curly brown hair that had one single shock of white toward the front. "And stunned," she added. "What happened?"
"I don't know," Colin said softly into his dad's shoulder. "She's just— she'd had enough of me. She got tired. That's what she said." And then his mom got up and there was a lot of hugging, arms everywhere, and his mom was crying. Colin extricated himself from the hugs and sat down on his bed. He felt a tremendous need to get them out of his room immediately, like if they didn't leave he would blow up. Literally. Guts on the walls; his prodigious brain emptied out onto his bedspread.
"Well, at some point we need to sit down and assess your options," his dad said. His dad was big on assessing. "Not to look for silver linings, but it seems like you'll now have some free time this summer. A summer class at Northwestern, maybe?"
"I really need to be alone, just for today," Colin answered, trying to convey a sense of calm so that they would leave and he wouldn't blow up. "So can we assess tomorrow?"
"Of course, sweetie," his mom said. "We'll be here all day. You just come down whenever you want and we love you and you're so so special, Colin, and you can't possibly let this girl make you think otherwise because you are the most magnificent, brilliant boy—" And right then, the most special, magnificent, brilliant boy bolted into his bathroom and puked his guts out. An explosion, sort of.
"Oh, Colin!" shouted his mom.
"I just need to be alone," Colin insisted from the bathroom. "Please." When he came out, they were gone.
For the next fourteen hours without pausing to eat or drink or throw up again, Colin read and reread his yearbook, which he had received just four days before. Aside from the usual yearbook crap, it contained seventy-two signatures. Twelve were just signatures, fifty-six cited his intelligence, twenty-five said they wished they'd known him better, eleven said it was fun to have him in English class, seven included the words "pupillary sphincter," [2] and a stunning seventeen ended, "Stay Cool!" Colin Singleton could no more stay cool than a blue whale could stayskinny or Bangladesh could stayrich. Presumably, those seventeen people were kidding. He mulled this over—and considered how twenty-five of his classmates, some of whom he'd been attending school with for twelve years, could possibly have wanted to "know him better." As if they hadn't had a chance.
But mostly for those fourteen hours, he read and reread Katherine XIX's inscription:
Here's to all the places we went. And all the places we'll go. And here's me, whispering again and again and again and again: iloveyou.
yrs forever, K-a-t-h-e-r-i-n-e
Eventually, he found the bed too comfortable for his state of mind, so he lay down on his back, his legs sprawled across the carpet. He anagrammed "yrs forever" until he found one he liked: sorry fever. And then he lay there in his fever of sorry and repeated the now memorized note in his head and wanted to cry, but instead he only felt this aching behind his solar plexus. Crying adds something: crying is you, plus tears. But the feeling Colin had was some horrible opposite of crying. It was you, minus something. He kept thinking about one word—forever—and felt the burning ache just beneath his rib cage.It hurt like the worst ass-kicking he'd ever gotten. And he'd gotten plenty.

Chesterfield County Animal Control recently released the following information on how hot weather can be dangerous for dogs:
- It only takes 10 minutes on an 85-degree day for the inside of a car to reach 102 degrees, even when the windows have been left open an inch or two.
- Within 30 minutes, a car's interior can reach 120 degrees. When the temperature is a pleasant 70 degrees outside, the inside of a car may be as much as 20 degrees hotter.
- Shade offers little protection on a hot day and moves with the sun.
Those pets most at risk for overheating are: young animals, elderly animals, overweight animals or those with short muzzles and those with thick or dark-colored coats. Animal Control encourages owners to leave their pets at home in hot weather.
If a dog is overcome by the heat: Bring down body temperature by soaking the animal in cool – not ice – water, but make sure water does not get into the mouth or nose of an unconscious animal. Seek immediate veterinary care.
It's against the law to leave a pet unattended in a parked vehicle in a manner that endangers the health or safety of the animal. An animal cruelty conviction could result in a jail sentence and/or a fine. Report animal cruelty to Chesterfield County Animal Control.

Domaine de L'Enchantoir again
Our recent visit to see Pierre and Brigitte Van Den Boom allowed us to test the 2010 Saumur Blanc, Rouge and Puy Notre Dame in the vats. I will report separately on the barrel aged red and white wines.
Pierre has a traditional chai where you have to literally climb up old stairs to the top of the vats that are all in line and he then opens the top access hatch to be able to sample the wines. You have to be careful not to knock your head on the roof beams and keep clear of the empty open vats. There are no sampling taps on the side of the vats like the modern stainless steel. But hey that is all part of the fun and enjoyment of being closely involved with the wine making processes of all our winemakers. We climb those steps on a regular basis sometimes just with Pierre and sometimes with our wine tour guests.
The blanc came first in the line of vats. Its near right for bottling. The lees contact has allowed a more complex flavour to develop. Pierre also uses batonnage ( stirring of the lees in the wine to impart more flavour) by the use of a traditional stirring implement once a week. The wine has a clean and honied palette with good balance of sugar and acidity, and the finish is long on the fruit. This will turn out to be a good vintage.
Next in line the Saumur Puy Notre Dame vat. Both reds have been through malolactic fermentation and so the smoothness is there. Pierre has again created a sublimely structured wine with loads of fruit with strong cherries coupled with a good body with tannins resulting from the late harvesting. Last year he swept the board with his awards. I reckon it'll be the same for the 2010 vintage. Any bets?
Saumur Rouge again has the fruits but probably slightly on the small fruits redcurrants and with a fresher palette. The terroir is different and this imparts smaller mineral notes in the wine. The geology is a deeper tuffeau (limestone) and a thicker layer of clay above. This is great news because it gives us the ability at Manoir de Gourin to pair these wines with different food for our wine tasting dinners.
All in all a very good visit. The 2010 vinatge will be as good as 2009. Two years on the trot. Great news for our customers.

I too have had many a conversation about my dream to be on Amazing Race, complete with strategies and "what we would do in this situation." I can't drive a stick shift (huge weakness) but Casey can. And I am AMAZING with maps – serious sense of direction skills over here. Also very good at following directions (building things, puzzles, etc.) We would both obviously do hard core running/training with backpacks on before hand. The eating challenges worry us – could be a dealbreaker. That cheese episode was hard to watch.
Now I really want to meet up at Buzz and talk about this for like two hours, because there is so much more I want to say…sigh.
And the salad looks delicious. I'm a sweet/savory fan. Please put grapes in my (mock) chicken (or potato!) salad any day. Will definitely try this if I can find some non-rank end of season blueberries out here.
Miss you!
