Apple, The Record Label?
You better believe that when Apple's streaming music service comes out later this year, it's going to come hard.

Moving ahead
(Feb 27, '15)
Even though it feels like winter has stalled over New England and we might never see the ground again, we are moving ahead towards spring. Our engines are revving and we'll be ready to hit the ground running at the first sign of thaw. We're sowing seeds, taking cuttings, and keeping up with the insect activity in the greenhouse […] -
Hope springs
(Feb 20, '15)
It's awfully hard to feel optimistic about spring when the snow is knee-deep and deeper and the temperatures are in the single digits. It feels for all the world like winter will go on forever. This is what our world looks like right now… Beautiful, yes… But I think most of us are ready to move on. […] -
Deep winter
(Feb 06, '15)
Last week's blizzard seem to open the gate to a real winter complete with snow storm after snow storm, and hard-core cold. We're being tested on our ability to stay upright on icy patches, and on keeping our cool when we can't get where we're going on time. But we're also being reminded about what we love about […]

Barclay brothers claim 'total victory' in the hotels war
The billionaire Barclay brothers yesterday declared "complete and total" victory in their long-running £1.1bn legal battle over the ownership of three of London's most prestigious hotels.
The row over Claridge's, the Berkeley and the Connaught has raged for two years as Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay, owners of the Telegraph newspapers and the Ritz, clashed with the Belfast-born developer and shareholder in the hotels, Paddy McKillen.
Mr McKillen had already lost a high court case against the brothers over the hotels last year, but yesterday three Court of Appeal judges threw out his attempt to overturn that decision. Mr McKillen must now pay most of the costs of the appeal on top of an estimated £20m legal bill. The judges also rejected Mr McKillen's application to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Richard Faber, a spokesman for the Barclay brothers, said: "This is a complete and total defeat for Mr McKillen. There is nothing for him to salvage from these rulings. After nearly two years of legal proceedings he is considerably worse off financially and no further forward."
Mr McKillen pledged: "I will continue to fight the Barclay brothers by any legal means to protect our staff, guests and our rights."
The complex tug-of-war over the hotels stretches back to 2004 and the heady days of the Irish lending boom. Mr McKillen was one of five shareholders in Coroin, a company that snapped up the Savoy Hotel Group, even outbidding Saudi Arabia's Prince al-Waleed bin Talal in the process. Coroin, whose frontman was the former Irish property poster boy Derek Quinlain, promptly sold the Savoy to Prince al-Waleed and then renamed the Berkeley, Claridge's and the Connaught under the Maybourne banner.
The original shareholders fell to three during the next six years, leaving Mr McKillen with 36.2 per cent, Mr Quinlain with 35.4 per cent and Misland, a Cyprus-based trust, holding the 25 per cent stake of the Manchester businessman Peter Green and stockbroker Kyran McLaughlin's 3.8 per cent.
In January 2011 the Barclays gained a foothold in Maybourne by buying Misland for £70m. Meanwhile, several of Mr Quinlain's property investments defaulted in the crash and his debts were taken into Ireland's bad bank, Nama. The Barclays did a deal with Nama to buy Mr Quinlain's debts, giving them effective control of his stake and majority control of Maybourne.
Mr McKillen claimed the brothers had ridden roughshod over his "pre-emptive rights" to have first refusal on the stakes of the other investors which came up for sale. When Mr Justice David Richards backed the brothers in the High Court last year, Mr McKillen appealed.
Yesterday Mr McKillen's appeal was rejected by Lady Justice Arden and Lord Justices Moore-Bick and Rimer.
Lady Justice Arden said that the Barclays' actions had not broken the pre-emption provisions in the shareholders' agreement and had not amounted to a breach of good faith.

Went to American Char last night! Chef Len is still working on some service quirks but the food was FANTASTIC! Tasted all the sauces (all great) prior to have food served – to see which one I would use on the pulled pork. However, the pulled pork was so flavorful (due to the dry rub) and was juicy to- I just used the BBQ sauce for the fries! Which, LOL I didn't order but received anyway- a quirk :) We did received everything we order in addition to some extras (mozz sticks / spring roll wrapper). The sides we had included grilled Brussels Sprouts w/ blue cheese sauce, spicy coleslaw(extremely fresh), french fries (hand cut- salted perfectly- great for all the tasty flavors of bbq sauces), baked beans (smoky, yum) and noodles w/ cheesy sauce
(mac and cheese :)). An addition, we had order fried mushrooms for an appetizer but it came w/ our meal (another service quirk) huge order, fresh breaded and delicious. Husband had a half rack of ribs- fall off the bone greatness! Chef Len was very friendly and hands on trying to help out his short staff w/ the slew of patrons waiting to get some of his GREAT food! We live in Wyoming but will be driving to West Olive very soon again to have some more!

So i'm new player i won 2/10 matches , so any advices to master this game :)) ? like should i play everyday ?
Do tactics.
Much faster if you go on good and type in "How to be a good chess player". You get much faster responses.
Study! Thats the main part. Study tactics for around 30 minutes per day and look into the london system (great opening which gives you greate pawn structure, king safety and rapid developement) Once you really start to improve start preparing for OTB tournaments. Study basic opening princaples as well.
Hope this helps :)
And, I forgot to mention, watch Youtube chess videos - they improved me greatly, despite I was watching them for entertainment only.
Unfortunately, I have to disagree (respectfully about pretty much all of this). Firstly, play in OTB tournaments right away after a short period of study; the only real improvement is found in OTB (only place to get "officially rated"), so you might as well be comfortable there. While you are still a beginner you are recommend that you always start out with the move 1.e4 until you are at least intermediate level (1600+ OTB) because 1.e4 leads to more tactical open games, which will help you to follow (and get punished if you ignore) the general opening principles. A basic positional understanding of chess comes first in my opinion (at least that's how I learned it). The most basic tactics will do.
"Study basic opening principles"; Still better than studying theory. Still, openings will be easier once you have a good positional understanding of chess.

Sexy but over $4k after taxes? I'm sorry but I can get an amazing tv plus an awesome soundsystem for that much, with money left over for blu-ray discs. However, if money was no object I'd get one really fast if it sounds half as good as it looks

It does look very nice and I'm sure it sounds great, but what happens when Apple puts out a new generation iPod rendering the system incompatible? You'd have to look at it and realize you should have done what DJRags suggested + buy an apple cable/dock and it'd likely last you longer.

This would look great in a $3 million Tribeca loft, but honestly I think most people looking to spend $4k on HT audio would want at least 5.1 surround sound and a lot more flexibility and options.
@2: That's basically what's happened to me with my 2y.o. 2006 GenevaLabs Model L speaker: it doesn't work with the iPhone without a nag screen and it won't charge any of the 2008 model iPods (or iPhone 3G) save for the Classic. Granted this isn't GenevaLabs' fault, but just goes to show you that iPod accessories aren't a good long term investment (unless you plan on using your current iPod long term and not upgrade to future models). If I spent $4k on a HT system, I would want it to last me 10 years or so, I think or at the very least 5. Maybe Apple won't break any more accessory compatibilities in the next 5 years, but given their track record over the past 3 years or so, I wouldn't bet any money on it (top-mounted remote port, FireWire sync, video out, FireWire charging, Made for iPod vs. Made for iPhone, etc.).
But yeah I love the looks and I'm sure the sound is great and build quality is excellent. If I won the lottery, I'd probably get one in a heartbeat.

Up to 15 dead in Texas plant blast
Related Articles
Published: 18 April 2013
Between five and 15 people died and more than 160 were injured in the blast at West Fertiliser in the town of West, 80 miles south of Dallas, officials said.
The explosion left the factory a smouldering ruin, levelled buildings for blocks in every direction, and was heard as far as 45 miles away. It sent flames shooting high into the night sky, and rained burning embers, shrapnel and debris down on shocked and frightened residents.
A member of the city council, Al Vanek, said a four-block area around the explosion was "totally decimated". Other witnesses compared the scene to that of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Authorities said the plant made materials similar to that used to fuel the bomb that tore apart that city's Murrah Federal Building.
Waco police sergeant William Patrick Swanton said the death toll is only an estimate as search and rescue operations continue.
The explosion shook the ground with the strength of a small earthquake in the community of 2,800 people about 20 miles north of Waco.
Sgt Swanton said there is no indication the blast was anything other than an industrial accident.
The mayor of West, Tommy Muska, told reporters the town needs "your prayers".
"We've got a lot of people who are hurt, and there's a lot of people, I'm sure, who aren't gonna be here tomorrow," Mr Muska said. "We're going to search for everybody. We're going to make sure everybody's accounted for. That's the most important thing right now."
Dozens of emergency vehicles amassed at the scene in the hours after the blast, as fires continued to smoulder in the ruins of the plant and in several surrounding buildings. Aerial footage showed injured people being treated on the flood-lit sports field that had been turned into a staging area. Mr Vanek said first-responders treated victims at about half a dozen sites, and he saw several injured residents from a nursing home being treated at a community centre.

The Surprising Late-Night Conversations That Keep Couples Together

Please upgrade your browser for the best Refinery29 experience. Read more.
While we're constantly ogling (and, very occasionally, splurging on) the enviable selection of designer duds at Barneys, it's never been our go-to for housewares. No offense — we've just always been more drawn to the Jonathan Adlers and Crate & Barrels. But now, thanks to a new partnership between the Madison Avenue retail-legend, the estate of Roy Lichtenstein, and the Art Production Fund, we've got a whole host of home goodies to covet.
The collection, which draws inspiration from Lichtenstein's pop art, boasts all sorts of adorably humorous works — think china plates, paper plates, throw pillows, beach balls, and water bottles. Each piece reveals Lichtenstein's signature playfulness, without the high price tag of his famous prints.
To mark the collaboration's kick-off, Barneys is devoting its Madison Avenue windows to all things pop art. Click through for a look at our favorite pieces from the collection, crowd-free.

The foreboding, faraway skree announcing Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones Pt. II" is one of rap's most perfect sounds—but what is it? It might be a horn. But it also might be an exploding steam pipe, or a car alarm, or a laser-jet printer. An even stranger sound follows it: four notes played on either a guitar imitating a piano or a piano imitating a guitar. The line is so disorienting that it inspired a sixteen-year long hunt for its source, which only ended in 2011 when producer Havoc confessed that sample snitches had finally pinpointed their target – a three-second piece of a Herbie Hancock instrumental, sped up and then slowed down. Playing the sample back to back with its source does absolutely nothing to resolve the mystery of "Shook Ones Pt II."
For the kids who made it—Albert "Prodigy" Johnson, from Hempstead, and Kejuan "Havoc" Muchita, from Queensbridge—"Shook Ones Pt. II" was half war cry, half last gasp. It announced The Infamous, Mobb Deep's second album and their first classic, and in the canon of career-revitalizing rap singles—Kool Moe Dee's "How Ya Like Me Now", LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out", Dre's "Still D.R.E."—"Shook Ones Pt. II" is maybe the most effective, and certainly the most devastating. The song was a rebirth, and the album that it foreshadowed would rewrite their legacy entirely.
The Infamous was not supposed to happen. Johnson and Muchita had already gotten their shot, releasing a corny, forgettable debut called Juvenile Hell in 1993 that sold 20,000 copies before being dwarfed by Illmatic, which had already traveled the world as a demo before its official release in April of '94. At every radio interview, Havoc and P found themselves answering questions about Havoc's Queensbridge neighbor Nas. In his 2011 memoir My Infamous Life, Prodigy recalls "Halftime" pumping out of the speakers at what was supposed to be a Mobb Deep in-store in D.C. Shortly afterward, Mobb Deep were dropped from their label.
They retreated, licking their wounds, to Havoc's mother's house. In New York, things were getting increasingly serious–Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), also released in '93, had already shipped platinum by May of '94. A revolution was brewing in their own city, and the authors of puerile kiddie sex raps like "Hit it From the Back" were in danger of getting left behind forever. It was out of this brew of desperation and determination that The Infamous began to take shape. Their music took on a grimmer, darker tone.
A few key people took notice. One was Schott Free, an A&R at Loud Records and former member of the short-lived rap group Legion of D.U.M.E.; another was Matteo "Matty C" Capoluongo, who ran The Source's News section and wrote its venerated Unsigned Hype column. Capoluongo and Free occasionally worked together on behalf raw, roughneck rap, the kind of stuff the industry required occasional nudging to embrace. It was Jacobs, for instance, who initially brought Wu-Tang's "Protect Ya Neck" into The Source offices. He and Matty C slipped Mobb Deep's new single, the fierce and focused "Patty Shop", to influential DJs Stretch and Bobbito. Word spread, albeit faintly, that the duo might yet have new life in them.
The third important figure behind The Infamous is Q-Tip, whose bemused presence floats over Mobb Deep's early career. When they were still teenagers hungry for a record deal, Havoc and Prodigy accosted Tip outside of the Def Jam offices. He obligingly ushered the duo into the hallowed offices of Lyor Cohen, whereupon they rewarded him by accidentally shooting a Def Jam employee in the stomach. He didn't give up on them, however, and on The Infamous, he does enough work to qualify as a temporary third member—co-producing and rapping on two songs ("Give Up The Goods" and "Drink Away The Pain") and working with Havoc to refine and perfect the album's indelible atmosphere.
It is that atmosphere that lingers, untouched and intact, now that Havoc and Prodigy are reissuing the album via a PledgeMusic-funded project. In addition to the original album, they are including a disc of rare and unreleased tracks from the sessions along with a full new album, confusingly, also called The Infamous Mobb Deep. The branding is odd, and the timing for the project feels a little off: For one, they are claiming a 20th-anniversary celebration for The Infamous a full year ahead of schedule. For another, the duo recently suffered through a highly publicized, and extremely ugly, split while Prodigy was in prison. Maybe the reissue functions as a renewal of the vows between the two, a way to patch up relations while reminding rap fans, and themselves, of the potential power of a flagging, listless brand.
The reissue, if nothing else, is a helpful reminder that this power is still there, for whoever wants it. The reason The Infamous remains so untouchable today goes beyond its individual qualities —the vividness of Prodigy's imagery, or the richness of the Queensbridge slang they introduced —into more rarefied air. With The Infamous, Mobb Deep invented a feeling, one that was more important than any individual word, chorus, or rhyme. All of New York was embracing degraded production at the time, but Havoc pushed beyond the low-resolution samples of RZA's Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) into near-total abstraction, producing a masterpiece of low, muffled, and malevolent sounds. The stand-up bass sample on "Trife Life" sounds like it has cotton balls behind the strings. The implication of vinyl crackle in "Eye for An Eye" feels like a needle dragging on tendons. "Q.U. -- Hectic," boasts a glowing, pulsing piano echo that feels nearly sentient, like some kind of slit-eyed pet monster Havoc is resting one hand on to keep calm.
Throughout, Havoc and Prodigy exude the confidence and comfort of artists who have found their voice and their ideal environment, and can break whatever rules they want. If they want to interrupt their album after one song in so Prodigy can deliver an Henny-soaked rant promising to punch other rappers in the face "just for living?" They'll do that ("The Infamous Prelude"). If Q-Tip wants to drop into "Drink Away The Pain," a tightly themed song about alcoholism, to rap only about his clothes—he'll do that. Nothing disturbs the surface. Every decision feels seamless and inevitable within the bubble Havoc and P. created.
There is a wholeness, an impenetrable circularity, to The Infamous as a result. Havoc, who grew up in Queensbridge, taught Prodigy how to rap in the secret-handshake style of his projects, while Prodigy, whose grandparents were jazz royalty, taught Havoc how to use studio equipment. In each case, the student became more adept than the teacher, and the result is a seamless cohesion, Havoc and Prodigy representing two halves of an endlessly repeating thought. Sounds repeat themselves like distant lights, or recurring nightmares, blurring your sense of the album's progression: That unforgettable "skree" from "Shook Ones" reappears on the chorus of "Q.U. – Hectic." With apologies to Nic Pizzolatto, there is a distinct "This has all happened before, and will happen again" air of fatalism to The Infamous. And while gangsta rap had been fatalistic before 1995, it had never sounded quite this fatalistic.
Appropriately, The Infamous also marked the moment that the language in gangsta rap shifted from corner scrambles and specific vendettas to all-out war, endless and impersonal. "Every angle of the car was smoked out and tinted/ So we couldn't tell if the enemy was in it," Prodigy raps on "Trife Life". He's not targeting anyone in particular--just "the enemy." This was the logical conclusion to the lyrical (and literal) arms race in mid-90s gangsta rap; Mobb Deep got all the way to the end first, and said everything best. The album's most famous and oft-quoted lyrics remain "There's a war going on outside no man is safe from," from "Survival of the Fittest", but Havoc's "Q.U.--Hectic" line "Real like an innocent child that turned killer" tells it just as well: From here on out, this would the only kind of reality Havoc and P would explore, or acknowledge.
That worldview is what's missing on The Infamous Mobb Deep. Or, if it's there, it comes through crackly and unreliable, like a radio station just out of range. As a Mobb Deep project, it's mortifyingly weak—before 2006's Blood Money, the duo had never made a bad album, and Blood Money was bad precisely because it wasn't a proper Mobb Deep album, but rather a fourth-rate G-Unit record with Havoc and Prodigy rapping listlessly on it. This time, they have no one to blame but themselves. Their lack of investment is audible on every level: The beats feels tinny and wheezy, and the album hardly sounds mastered, full of clippy snares and poorly synced vocals. The beat on "Get Down" is barely audible. The hooks are just flat chants with no rhythm or life in them.
The chemistry between the two, more troublingly, is nowhere in sight. Prodigy has receded further and further into idiosyncrasy as a solo artist, to the point where it's difficult to imagine him belonging to a group at all. He doesn't even offer any of his choice "HOW I FOLD MY BANDANA" weirdness: "I flood the cold streets with your hot blood", from "Taking You Off Here", is about as hard as he tries, as far as imagery or wordplay or contrast goes. He can still summon vivid, bone-chilling imagery, and was doing so as recently as his Bumpy Johnson EP. But he barely shrugs his way through The Infamous Mobb Deep. Taken as a whole, the album is exactly the sort of hastily tossed-off, forgettable project that legacy acts will sometimes tack onto can't-miss releases such as this. It's a shame they did.
The disc of rare and unreleased tracks from the 1994 The Infamous sessions, on the other hand, is exactly the sort of thing that reissues are made for. Many of these songs have been available to hardcore rap fans for years, but the best of them, like "Take It In Blood" and "Gimme The Goods", are the equal of anything that made The Infamous. They extend the album's long shadow and give a fuller picture of Mobb's startling leap in confidence from Juvenile Hell to Infamous. There are a couple fan Easter Eggs here too, the most notable of which is the "lost reel" early version of their Raekwon/Nas collaboration "Eye For An Eye" with an alternate Nas verse and a vintage Ghost verse. But my favorite moment might be the mind-bending live freestyle session between Mobb Deep, Raekwon, and Nas. Rae spits a verse that would end up on "Incarcerated Scarfaces"; Nas follows up. Both of them, however, quiet down when Havoc and P start rapping. The duo are still in complete, blissful sync, their voices young but old-sounding, their newfound chemistry a thing to behold. Apart from murmuring some appreciative noises, Rae and Nas are reverently silent. You realize, with some amazement, that they just feel lucky to be in the room.

Diabetes UK raises £18.6m through Tesco partnership

Sue Ryder has launched its own campaign to battle red tape on VAT announcing that it will lose £1m in irrecoverable VAT following the increase to 20 per cent beginning today.
"Limited Companies, local authorities and some parts of the NHS can reclaim VAT, yet Sue Ryder's six charitable hospices, seven care centres and ten homecare services are left to swallow this burden. In this tough economic climate the rise of VAT will hit charities like Sue Ryder even harder," said Sue Ryder CEO Paul Woodward, implying that the red tape is inconsistent with the government's Big Society agenda.
"We have heard a lot about the Big Society and support the idea of charities delivering more high quality, innovative and cost-effective public services," he said, "However this is only possible if we are afforded the same benefits the NHS and local authorities are given relating to VAT."
The campaign will first call for charities taking on health services transferred to them by the NHS or Primary Care Trusts to be afforded the same benefits as the NHS. Longer term it aims to work with the Charity Tax Group and the government to find a solution to the problems associated with the VAT increase which will see the sector suffer a loss of a further £140m in irrecoverable VAT.
In July charity exemption to the VAT increase was rejected in parliament by legislation to allow academy schools to recover VAT incurred on purchases supporting non-business activities mooted in December raised hopes for other charities to do the same. The government has pledged to improve tax policy making in its 2011 Finance Bill which is open for consultation until 9 February.

Swizz Beatz - Up In Tha Club (Remix) ft. Busta Rhymes, Lil' Wayne & Cross
Artist: Swizz Beatz
Featuring: Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne
Producer: Swizz Beatz
Album: Life After the Party
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 43 votes )
Swizz Beatz may be looking to prove that there's Life After the Party with his forthcoming LP, but this newly-released remix finds the revelry still in full swing. Although this version of Up In Tha Club retains the original verses and Weezy's Auto-Tuned hook (complete with Luke's "Don't stop, get it get it" sample), it's a pretty drastic overhaul – in addition to trading the cut's marimba-laced production for a head-bobbing break, Swizz enlists the help of two new collaborators: a proven quantity in the clubs, Busta Rhymes is sure to get bodies moving with his guest contribution, but the real star of the show is Harlem's Cross, whose energetic closing verse ends the record on a high note. Adding some retro flavor to the emcee/producer's latest single, this remix should be a hit with old-school fans looking to get their dance on. Life After the Party, Swizz's sophomore studio album, has yet to receive a solid release date.

AmericasVenezuela's Chavez looks to woo youth vote President steps up campaign to attract under 30s, as he faces younger contender Henrique Capriles in October election. 22 Sep 2012 16:50 GMT Hugo Chavez is stepping up his re-election campaign ahead of Venezuela's presidential election in two weeks time. The president remains confident he can win another term, but has also been making strides to appeal to a key pool of swing voters made up of the under-30 age group. Chavez, 58, faces tough competition from his younger rival, Henrique Capriles, who at just 40-years old, has found a strong following among female voters. While recent polls show everything from a tie to a double-digit lead for Chavez, they also reveal between 10 and 20 per cent of voters are either undecided or would not say who they supported. Youth vote The opposition-aligned organisation Voto Joven, or Youth Vote, estimated that more than a third of registered voters were between the ages of 18 and 25, making them a key target for both camps. Chavez must appear fresh to appeal to this key group as he seeks a third presidential term that would extend his time in office to two decades. The president has gone to great lengths to appeal to younger voters. Instead of his military fatigues, he has been wearing casual blue jackets, and occasionally a yellow scarf. He has also appeared on television singing and dancing, even at times slinging an electric bass guitar over his shoulder and pretending to play to the beat. "If you want a nation, stand with me," the president shouted to thousands of supporters at a rally of the youth wing of his party outside Caracas this week. Singing with a band, the president then belted out the lyrics to his campaign jingle: "Chavez, heart of the people!" Nonetheless, he has appeared at fewer rallies and has at times looked noticeably bloated and aged, fuelling doubts about his health after more than a year of cancer treatment. The presidential vote is set to take place on October 7.

Manama: Bahrain's education ministry has told elementary schools to reduce the weight of the bags that their students carry.
Bahrain education ministry pushes for lighter school bags
Schools, parents have crucial role in reducing bag weight
Parents have complained directly to ministry officials and through the media about the suffering of their children forced to carry heavy school bags throughout the academic year.
Solutions suggested by the ministry included ensuring that heavy books are used on different days.
Teachers were told to keep all heavy books in the classrooms while notebooks should be lighter and tools needed for the art classes should be left in a locker in the school to avoid heavy burdens.
Elementary schools must set up a committee to follow up on the negative effects of carrying heavy bags, the ministry said in a circular.
All students are required to attend workshops that show them how to carry their bags.
However, the ministry said that parents also had an active role in the building of a positive culture of lighter bags.
"Parents should be highly selective in choosing the schoolbags of their children and ensure the highest safety standards," the ministry said.
Students in Bahrain start their formal education at the age of six and are required to attend elementary school for six years, intermediate school for three years and high school for three years.

Wife sSentimental Journey
For fifty years they were together as husband and wife
And like all married couples they would bicker and fight.
Then the day came that GOD called her away
And with him she could not stay.
He mourned the loss of his soul mate, and to be with her again
He did not want to wait.
As he went through her belongings of fifty years
He found a box which brought a tear.
It was a 12" box with the words engraved "treasure chest box"
With a key for the lock.
It was something he had never known before
As he opened up the door.
It was a stack of letters tied with a red ribbon
And a note on top which read:
My dear husband – if you are reading this it is because
GOD decided to take me away, and with you I could not stay.
But these letters is what kept me alive, and of your love I did thrive.
Each letter tells me of the love that you have for me
And thru my teary eyes I did see.
A man of compassion and kindness and love
Given to me from GOD above.
For each letter that you had written me, I wrote a response
Although I never gave them to you "till now ".
I knew that you would find it hard to let me go
This is something I did know.
So read my responses to the love you had for me
As you have set my heart free.
Every letter was dated from the first one written on the bottom
To the last one on the top
He held his breath and his heart stopped.
He read all the love letters he had written and her responses
To every one which she ended with "from the start you stole my heart".
After reading all her letters he went back to her note and continued to read.
It said: life is full of mysteries, twists and turns we do not see
Life can never be a road straight and narrow with the ending in sight.
So each day I prayed with all of my might, that a love as the one that you
Have for me – will live with me eternally.
For if there is any such thing as "human eternal love"
You have gone far above!
You have been my ROCK OF GIBRALTER
And I knew you would never falter.
Now I need you to be strong, because this is where you belong.
Show everyone the love that you have given
For you make life worth living.

When using Run As -> Web Application for a GWT app in STS, a Development Mode view is opened that contains a clickable link that in turn opens a browser and tests the GWT app...
What are the rules behind changing code while the code is running in the Development Mode. Does the Development Mode reflect these changes? Do you always have to terminate and restart Development Mode?
Any tips for how to speed up the loading of the link in Development Mode?
I would pose the same questions for Debug As -> Web Application.
