Women's Hall of Fame
Helen Fiske, born in Amherst, Mass., took her two last names from her husbands (see Note below). She married Edward Bissell Hunt first, was widowed young, in 1865, and shortly afterwards had lost both sons from that marriage as well. Ten years later, she married a quaker, William Sharpless Jackson and lived in Colorado Springs with him. Helen was a long-time friend of Emily Dickinson and, besides becoming much more famous than her friend as a poet, produced many novels, including Ramona (1884). It dealt with the white man's subjugation of the native American indian, whose cause she energetically championed for much of the later part of her life. See her A Century of Dishonor: A Sketch of the United States Government's Dealings with some of the Indian Tribes (New York: Harper, 1881; HUS. J127c Robarts Library), and Report of Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson and Abbot Kinney on the Mission Indians in 1883 (Boston: Stanley and Usher, 1887; Pam E 78 15 J3 Victoria College Archives).
Note: "The name 'Helen Hunt Jackson,' now universally applied to Jackson, includes the surnames of both her first husband, Edward Hunt, and her second husband, William Jackson. She never used this combined name either in publishing her work or in referring to herself." -- Kate Phillips, Helen Hunt Jackson: A Literary Life. Berkeley: U of California P, 2003, p. 4.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
JumpStart 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain makes it fun for kids to learn by incorporating learning activities into games that are fun and challenging. There may be some frustration here and there, but by making it into a game, the kids seem determined to try and master it as they do with most games. Object of the game Polly has sent 25 robots back in time, she wants to alter history and your child, with the help of another robot named Botley, will find clues, get points for games and answer questions to bring back each robot before it can alter history. Sound easy? Not really, this game will have your child playing hours on end each day trying to bring back the robots, sometimes it can take days to bring back a few robots. Games are saved under the child's name from the initial sign in, they just go to their name the next time they play and pick up where they left off. Games There are three floors to Mystery Mountain and on each floor are different games your child can play to earn mission points and clues to help bring back the robots. There are different levels of play that you can adjust to fit your child's specific needs, you have three levels to choose from, that way it won't be too hard or too easy. First Floor Jumbo Electro Generator - This game your child will play a lot since all the machines and devices in Mystery Mountain are run on electricity, by playing this math game, your child supplies power. When the energy indicator on the utility belt (shown at the bottom of the screen) flashes, your child needs to go play this game to supply more power. The Kitchen Door - To go inside the kitchen and play the game in there, your child first has to figure out the combination on the kitchen door by using math problems. Once inside the kitchen, your child can play The Robot Feeder. With this game your child will be told what "Mort" wants to each, then your child has to measure the different ingredients to help feed "Mort." The Professor's Virtual Collection - Polly will give you a clue related to one of the pieces of art, your child picks the art piece by that clue. Mission clues and points are hidden in the artwork. The Painting Gallery - Paint a picture to Polly's specifications and you can get a mission clue or points. Don't worry about how silly it sounds, just give Polly what she wants and you will be rewarded. To get into The Music Hall, you first have to get past The Music Hall Door. To get inside your child has to unscramble a word by rearranging the letters on the door. Once inside, your child can play The Music Player. In this game your child has to arrange music chips to reproduce the music that "Maestro" plays, don't worry, you can click on "Maestro" at any time to hear it again. Second Floor The Biosphere - Here your child will launch an explorer and go through a maze while answering questions that Polly throws at you, there are five different kinds of environments your child will launch explorers to: the desert, tropical rain forest, mountains, grasslands and oceans. The Shrinking Room - When you enter here, Polly will give you a clue to find a specimen that is in the room. Egbert is the resident egghead that knows everything and is there to help if you just click on him. Use the Shrink-O-Matic to help your child learn a bit more about each specimen. Once you think you've found the right specimen, click on the microscope and you will shrink Botley and he will go inside the specimen. Once Botley is inside, you are ready to play The Fantastic Voyager. Here you use the mouse to bounce a ball to break molecules that surround the hidden mission clue or points. Third Floor You will first go to the Black Hole Blaster where you will collect radio waves while shooting at asteroids. Once you collect all the radio waves you can go to The Alien Signal Decoder to unscramble the clues. Here you will put the words in the right order to figure out the hint and then you go to the Far Out Star Chart to identify the constellation that Polly's hint is about. The last game on the third floor is The Robot Obstacle Course where you will program Buster the robot to go through a maze to get the mission clues or points. This one involves thinking skills, where you will decide one step forward, jump, move right, left, etc. Completing Missions When you've collected a bunch of mission points and 4 mission clues, you go to Time Machine Mission Control. Click on the Wheel of Invention and the mission clues are loaded into the wheel, you will be asked three questions for each mission clue, once answered correctly you will be given a year, place, name and invention, you also get the Time Key. Follow Botley into the Time Machine, put the key into the console and you will be given the information to get the robot Polly has hidden there, once you find the robot, you will free him! My Thoughts This game was a hit with both of my kids. We originally got it when my daughter was in 3rd grade and once she completed it, it sat waiting for my son, who actually mastered the game when he was only in 2nd grade. My son is advanced, so that's why it was easy for him, but both of them had fun playing the game, they really didn't even think of it as an educational game, just a fun game to play, although it was frustrating at times, as all games can be. It does contain a lot of math, so if your child is having trouble with math, it may be frustrating and they may need a little help and prodding from you. Since this is an older game, I have found that it will not run on Windows XP, but runs fine on Windows 98 or lower. Ours is running on the kids Windows 98 computer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is part of the "Shhh, they don't know they're learning" write-off hosted by the Computer and Kids & Family Category Leads.

When defining a build in TFS 2013 using the default template for TFVC you can set the Output location for the build.
But when you set it to AsConfigured you have to change the default values of the Test sources spec setting to allow build to find the test libraries in the bin folders. Here's an example on how to do it.
If the full path to the unit test libraries is:

@Laotionne - You are confusing this Elephant Island with Koh Chang which is in Thailand and is sometimes referred to as Elephant Island Thailand, but that's not the official name. There are many elephants in Koh Chang and the weather is much warmer.
And of course, as this article mentions, seals live on this island and the name of the island comes from the elephant seals, not the other elephants.

Bally IV Glass Top Humidor Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 8 of 8 reviews
"What cedar lining?"
There is no cedar lining, actually there is no lining whatsoever. Cedar is CRITICAL for a humi!
Martin in Los Angeles February 11, 2014
Been casually smoking for a year now and decided to get this as my first humidor. Was not dissapointed when i got it. Thought it looked nice in the picture, but in person i believe it's even better! Only downside is the analog hygrometer. Wish it was digital so i didnt have to do the extra step of salt test, but really isn't a big deal. Great product and must get if you want a nice humidor for low value.
Paul in Ohio January 5, 2013
"grand product"
Quality product in construction and appearance. First humidor with hygrometer, no instruction; took a while to master but if your IQ is OK then you'll be fine
robasanartist in long beach CA October 17, 2011
"Good Buy."
The Hygrometer is made out of "Really Cheap" plastic... Other than that worth every penny.
Erik in Virginia October 17, 2011
This is my first humidor and it is a good medium sized box.Got this guy on sale and am pleased with the quality for the price. I am adding a Cigar Mechanic humidifier as an upgrade.
John in Virginia July 26, 2011
"great buy will get another"
if you collect cigars you must get this.
charles in memphis July 9, 2011
"Awesome deal, but shipping takes away from it"
This is an awesome deal. The downside is the shipping. Shipping fees kill the incentive to purchase as it makes the deal less attractive and places the humidor in competition with the other online vendors.
When I first saw this I went WOW, then read down and the air was taken from my sails.
Wayne in Houston January 19, 2010
"Nice humidor"
Just picked this unit up on sale here. Very nice looking piece. Still in the "seasoning" stage, but I'm confident it will function well, and will be filled soon with premiums from FSS.

This thread is dedicated to Japanese produced video game figures. In the past, Japanese figures were mostly used for manga and anime characters, but lately they have started making figures from video game franchises. This is more of an awareness announcement than a deal thread since figures can easily sell out long before they are available and the second hand market can be crazy expensive. Pre-ordering is usually the cheapest way to get a popular figure.

Pit Figma (April 27, 2013):
Dark Pit Figma (April 27, 2013):
Kongiku (May 8, 2013):
Momohime (January 18, 2013):
About Japanese Figures:
Figma is like an action figure but higher quality and designed for display rather than play. Figma are very posable and often come with accessories, alternate faces, and alternate hands. Check out all the different display poses they show off in pics.
Scale figures, like Zero Suit Samus, are like statues made of ABS and PVC. Scale are bigger than Figma, more detailed, and again for display rather than play. Scale figures are not posable and may not come with accessories or alternate facial expressions.
Nendoroid are cutesy interpretations of characters. Each is about 4" tall and, like Figma, usually comes with various faces/hands/accessories to reproduce poses/scenes from the source material.
Real Action Heroes (RAH) are like a blend of scale figure, Figma, and doll. They are still made of ABS and PVC, but the clothes are made of fabric, giving them a more realistic look. RAH are posable like Figma and typically include accessories and alternate faces. They are bigger than your average scale figure and very high quality. Accordingly, they are also exceedingly expensive.
Most figures are only announced for sale in Japan, so if interested you will have to order from a Japanese retailer. I recommend amiami.com as I've purchased many figures from them and they usually have the cheapest prices (both for the figure and for shipping).
Don't forget about shipping cost. SAL small packet registered should cost $10-20 and takes about 2-3 weeks to reach me in Florida. SAL may also be available unregistered for 410 JPY less, but you lose tracking and insurance (so if your package goes missing, you are sol). EMS is the best shipping and only takes about 2 days to arrive but is considerably more expensive. There is also SAL Parcel, but it is worth spending a little extra for EMS. You may have to use EMS if your item is too big to fit in a SAL box. I always use SAL registered when I can. If you pre-order multiple figures, you can combine shipping if they come out in the same month (assuming no delays) and save some money.
Shipping cost is based on weight. If you are ordering multiple figures at once, it is cheaper to request two SAL shipments than one EMS. It is also cheaper to combine items than do separate shipments for each. From my experience, 3-4 Nendoroid/Figma will fit in a single SAL box. A scale figure may fit with 1-2 Nendoroid/Figma boxes, depending on the scale and size of figure box used. Some figures come in larger boxes than expected. There is no way to know how large/heavy your figure will be before ordering. Some stores may offer an estimate at time of order or indicate that an item should be compatible with SAL.
SAL unregistered (no tracking or insurance) does not require a signature upon delivery. All other shipping methods do, so try to be home on delivery day. If you miss the delivery, you can stop by your local post office for pickup starting the next day.
You don't pay until the figure(s) is ready to ship. The only exceptions are some limited edition items (which you'll have to pay for in full at time of purchase, including shipping) and certain stores that require a % deposit (like Anime-Island). Payment is best done through PayPal.
The current exchange rate can be viewed in PayPal -> Profile -> My Money -> Currencies (disclosure arrow of PayPal balance). The PP rate is always a little more expensive than the current rate since they charge a fee for the exchange (I believe 2.5%, the rate you see is already calculated with that fee). You can also opt to pay directly from your PP tied bank account or cc when checking out with PP, but from my experience PP gives the best rate (not by much). You will have to check your bank and cc websites for their rate info, including whatever % fee they use for the exchange.
You will usually receive an invoice the day after an item is released. Shipping usually occurs the day after payment is sent, depending on the store.
Japanese Shops I've Used and Recommend:
AmiAmi: http://www.amiami.com/
My favorite store. Among the best prices. Easily combine orders by month. Amazing pre-owned section. Shipping is usually a little more than other stores since they use better packaging.
Hobby Search: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/
Second favorite store. Can combine orders of the same month but not as nicely as AmiAmi. Can cancel a pre-order within the first week of placing.
Big in Japan: http://biginjap.com/
Third favorite store. Prices seem to be the best lately, taking the spot formerly held by AmiAmi. Good selection of prize figures. Can pay for pre-orders upfront. Can act as proxy.
Hobby Link Japan: http://www.hlj.com/
Usually a bit more expensive than the stores above. In exchange for higher prices, you can cancel orders at any time. Private warehouse feature lets you hold items for up to 60 days to combine shipping, though you still pay for the figure at time of release. Good selection of prize figures.
Tokyo Otaku Mode: http://otakumode.com/
Charges in USD $, pay upfront at time of placing order. Free shipping and minor discount on select items during early pre-order. EMS only. You get $5 in points when you register your account, plus another $5 if you signup through a referral link (referrer also gets $5), making your first order $10 off.
Plamoya: http://www.plamoya.com
Check for sales, otherwise usually overpriced.
Secondhand Japanese Shops I've Used and Recommend:
I buy a lot secondhand. The items are usually in great condition and, for most of my orders, have never been opened before. This lets me get figures I missed out on before I started collecting or couldn't budget at time of release.
Mandarake: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/
My favorite source for secondhand figures. Mandarake is a web front for a collection of B&M hobby stores in Japan. Their selection is huge, pricing is great, and new items are added daily. Many of their secondhand items have never been opened. The condition is commonly something like "not opened/box damaged" which translates to it will look brand new when you get it :3 Note that there is a 500 yen fee for orders under 5000 yen, so I only ever place an order when I have 5000 yen worth of items to buy. This fee, along with shipping, is calculated per store, so you want all your items in an order to come from the same store. Also note that because these are B&M stores, an item you ordered may sell out that same day in store (this has happened to me a few times). In that case, the item is removed from your order, or if your order is just one item, the order is cancelled. If you are worried about not breaking the 5000 yen barrier in the case an item is oos, make sure to check the boxes for "cancel order if this item is oos" on all items in your order. You'll receive an email the following day with the items they were able to secure (hopefully everything in your order), the total including shipping, and a link to payment.
AmiAmi Preowned: http://www.amiami.co...c/preowned.html
My second favorite store for secondhand figures thanks to a daily updated selection, cheap shipping options, and no extra fees. Unlike the other shops which have a lot of secondhand items in new condition, most of AmiAmi preowned has been opened and used. Items are rated by separate figure and box conditions. "A" condition means it looks brand new, "B" means there is some normal ware but should still be good, "C" or lower you should probably avoid (at least for figure condition, I personally don't care too much about secondhand box condition). Pricing is hit or miss. Rare figures will have much better prices on the other shops. Their selection is good and updated daily (except Sundays). Stock status is accurate when ordering.
Entertainment Hobby Shop JUNGLE: http://jungle-scs.co.jp/index_e.cgi
Another great secondhand store. Good selection (though not as big as Mandarake) and updated daily. Many of their figures are still in sealed condition. Prices are usually comparable to Mandarake. You don't have to worry about buying a certain amount or separate shipping fees like with Mandarake, but there is a 5% fee on the value of all orders (not including shipping).
Recommended US Shops:
Big Bad Toy Store (BBTS): http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/ (haven't used myself but comes highly recommended)
Crunchyroll: http://www.crunchyroll.com/store/ (check for daily deals)
Anime Island: http://www.anime-island.com/ (requires at least 20% deposit for pre-orders)
Figure Haven: http://figurehaven.com/ (limited selection. usually flat $5 shipping)
Kirin Hobby: http://www.kirinhobby.com/shop/ (haven't used myself but is on my list of US shops I would use if necessary)
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/ (occasionally has some figures at good prices)
My Figure Collection:
MFC is an amazing (and free) community of figure collectors. It has info on all Japanese figures including release dates, pics, user ratings, reviews, etc. If you are interested in Japanese figure collecting, I highly recommend joining to keep track of your collection and follow the latest news on upcoming releases. Here's my MFC profile as an example: http://myfigurecolle...ofile/Cantisama
CAG now has an MFC club that you can join here: http://myfigurecolle...n.net/club/1219
Important Notes:
If you are interested in a figure, it is best to pre-order asap. Unlike video games, figures are usually cheaper through pre-order and may be hard to find after release.
Japanese retailers do not like order cancellations (this includes pre-orders, in stock items, and orders from secondhand stores). Cancelling even once can get you banned from that site. Be sure about your order before making it.

text: Android is a mess, say developers by Philip Elmer-DeWitt @FortuneMagazine April 4, 2011, 3:17 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons A new survey analyzes the pros and cons of writing for various mobile platforms Source: Baird On the heels of the debate played out over the weekend between Union Square Ventures' Fred Wilson and Instapaper's Marco Arment about whether it's wiser to be writing apps for Apple's AAPL iOS or Google's GOOG Android come the results a survey of 250 working developers released Monday by Baird's William Powers. Wilson, a venture capitalist, has been advising developers to write first for Android, predicting that the iPhone vs. Android battle will turn out to be a replay of Windows vs. Macintosh. Arment, a developer, thinks that's bad advice. He believes Android's market share gains may be illusory — especially when the rise of the iPad is taken into account — and that as a development environment, Google's OS has serious shortcomings. Baird's survey suggests that developers have taken Wilson's advice. 71% of respondents said they were writing apps for Android vs. 62% for iOS. (None of the other platforms drew more than 27%.) But the survey also suggests that programmers writing for Android are finding the ecosystem to be every bit as perilous as Arment predicted. Among the problems that surfaced: Device fragmentation. 56% of Android developers said that operating system fragmentation among the various Android devices was a meaningful or "huge" problem, a percentage that actually increased over the past three months. Store fragmentation. Several developers expressed concern over Android app store fragmentation. "Generally," Baird reports, "developers seem to prefer a unified, single store experience like Apple's App Store." Ease of development. iOS outscored Android, but both were considered far easier to develop for than, say, Research in Motion's RIMM BlackBerry OS or Nokia NOK Symbian. App visibility. "iOS continues to lead," Baird reports, "followed by Blackberry, with Android still receiving poor marks in this category." Developers are particularly concerned about the level of "junk" apps in the Android ecosystem. Ability to get paid. iOS leads here too, followed by BlackBerry.
