"Who Cares?"
I like the character of Comornan Strike and very much enjoyed the first book. However, after a week of trying I am going to abandon this book with 39 chapters behind me. I just don't care who did it or why. I have no empathy for the victim and the potential cast of perps are boring. Enough.
"A Book with No Ending"
I enjoy of "good" disaster movie and books of the same genre. However, unless you believe Glen Beck to the the 21th century oracle and can handle a very plodding story, I would pass this one up. Book 1 has no action and no ending so if you want to get the whole tale you will need to use a total of 10 credits. I am somewhat curious where he is taking this plot but probably not $100 worth.
"Hiassen Alert for Adults!"
I preordered this and wish I had waited until others had reviewed it. This is in the category of a "young adult" book - very young! I was looking forward to another Skink book but all the characters have been toned way down for the audience so you have none of the biting humor, outrageous characters, and frankly the fun to be expected with Carl Hiaasen. The reader does different characters well but the overall tone is as bland as the book itself. You expect Hiassen books to have an ax to grind, but this one presents a simple message to kids to not make internet hookups. Even that message is pretty ho hum.
This is no Stormy Weather, Double Whammy, or Lucky You.
"Not a formula cowboy story"
Characters with depth, unexpected events, insights into regional history, outstanding reader. You do not have to like western novels to appreciate this book.
"Special Experience"
I tend to shy away from books with women readers (even though I am a 70 year old female) only because most don't seem to have the versatility as the best of the male readers. That was before I listened to this book read by Nicola Barber. That is not to take anything away from the author because even the best reader cannot salvage a poorly written book. I am pushing my husband to listen to a book about a midwife! There can be no higher recommendation.
"Not even Dick Hill Could Save This One"
When it comes to Audible books, my husband and I are like a Venn Diagram. We each have books that we individually like and most that we both like. With a library of 800 books It has been unusual for us both to abandon a book before we finish it. Neither one of us could stand this one but not for the same reasons. He hated the preachiness; I disliked the characters and the far fetched plot.
I honestly do not understand the ratings this book received.
"So sad!"
George Wilson understands how to read Carl Hiaasen. The jewel that is Hiaasen is his outlandish characters in improbably situations which put together make for great comedy combined with serious commentary. With this reader, neither come through.
"What am I missing?"
There is no one more "doggy" than I am and mystery is my favorite genre. I don't mind dogs as narrators. In fact, one of my all time favorites is "The Art of Racing in the Rain." This book is OK but I did not find it particularly gripping and it certainly does not make my top 10 list of either animal based books or mysteries.
Want to read an absolutely outstanding book on the relationship of animals and humans? Try "The Elephant Whisperer." There is more suspense in that one and it is non-fiction.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Just a charming story wonderfully read by Simon Vance. Don't over think it; just enjoy it.
The plot; the characters; the action; the reading. I normally am a great fan of Dick Hill but I got the feeling he did not know what to do with this book and was over compensating. I need something that is a little more believable and with a touch of finesse I guess.

thrown in the towel
on its effort to buy
Ferro Corp.
Reuters reports Akron-based A. Schulman has dropped its bid for Mayfield Heights-based Ferro, about four months after it had offered $563 million for its smaller rival.
"We have given Ferro's board ample time to come back to us to initiate a discussion," A. Schulman CEO Joe Gingo said on a conference call with analysts on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
"At this time, this has not happened, so we have decided to look elsewhere for acquisition opportunities," Mr. Gingo said.
A. Schulman first contacted Ferro last November and expressed its interest in Ferro in a letter on Feb. 13, but was rebuffed. A formal offer in March also was rejected, Reuters noted.
It still pay to be in television
Unlike its weak sibling in the media industry — that would be newspapers — the television business
remains highly lucrative
Bloomberg reports that Oak Hill Capital Partners, the private equity firm backed by Texas financier Robert M. Bass, "will reap more than a 240% gain selling Local TV Holdings LLC to Tribune Co. for $2.73 billion," citing a "person familiar with the matter."
Chicago-based Tribune is buying all 19 television stations, including Cleveland's Fox affiliate
WJW-TV, Channel 8
, owned by Local TV. The all-cash purchase would be the biggest U.S. broadcasting deal in six years, Bloomberg says.
New York-based Oak Hill owns about 95% of the Local TV holdings, Bloomberg reports, citing the unidentified source. Including about $530 million it already has made in dividends, Oak Hill "will garner more than $1.7 billion, or 3.4 times the firm's $493 million equity investment," according to the story.
"Oak Hill did a very good job working with management to improve margins by cutting back expenses, and doing better than their peers in core revenues," Carl Salas, a senior analyst at credit rater Moody's Investors Service, tells Bloomberg. "They outperformed the industry."
Local TV has expanded its advertising base by "going directly to advertisers and bypassing the usual agencies to place ads," Mr. Salas tells the news service.
The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization "is about $250 million a year based on an average of last year's results and this year's estimate," according to Mr. Salas. That "represents a profit margin that has risen to about 40 percent from 33 percent in 2009," Bloomberg reports.
Head's up
There are a few Cleveland connections in
this QZ.com story
about the possibility that we could soon see a human-to-human head transplant.
"Technical barriers to grafting one person's head onto another person's body can now be overcome," Dr. Sergio Canavero, a member of the
Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group
, tells the website.
In a recent paper, Dr. Canavero outlines a procedure modeled on successful head transplants which have been carried out in animals since 1970. The procedure he examines "is very much like that used" by the late
Dr. Robert White
, formerly of MetroHealth Medical Center, who successfully transplanted the head of a rhesus monkey onto the body of a second rhesus in 1970.
QZ.com notes that connection of a spinal cord from the head of one creature to the body of another "has never been attempted even in animals, so Dr. Canavero's paper must be taken as an exercise in speculation."
However, the story notes, "the severing and re-connection of spinal cords in the same animal has met with limited success in the past. Just this week, scientists at
Case Western Reserve University
and the
Cleveland Clinic
were able to restore limited connectivity between the two severed halves of spinal cords in rats."
Be careful what you wish for
Parents looking forward to the day when their kids have moved out and they're free to do anything they please might want to check out
Wall Street Journal
, which includes data from researchers at
Bowling Green State University
New empty-nest couples "might be in for a surprise,"
The Journal
says. "In the sudden quiet may come to discovery that years on a treadmill — raising children, building careers — have left them very different people than they were in the their 20s or 30s. In short: They've woken up with a stranger."
There are signs of this empty-nest syndrome in statistics that track divorce rates, according to a March 2012 white paper, "The Gray Divorce Revolution," by Bowling Green researchers.
"In 1990, fewer than 1 in 10 individuals who divorced were 50 or older,"
The Journal
reports. "Almost 20 years later, that number jumped to more than 1 in 4. In 2009, more than 600,000 people ages 50 and over got divorced." (The researchers analyzed data from the 1990 U.S. Vital Statistics Report and the 2009 American Community Survey administered by the U.S. Census Bureau.)
Many couples miss warning signs that something is wrong,
The Journal
"People think that when spouses grow apart, it's because there is some big conflict or major divide," Eli Karam, assistant professor at the University of Louisville's Marriage and Family Therapy program, tells the newspaper. "That's not necessarily true."

Please note that as of October 24, 2014, the Nokia Developer Wiki will no longer be accepting user contributions, including new entries, edits and comments, as we begin transitioning to our new home, in the Windows Phone Development Wiki. We plan to move over the majority of the existing entries. Thanks for all your past and future contributions.
This Wiki page provides an overview of the features of NetBeans for creating mobile Java™ applications. It then provides a simple introduction to creating a mobile Java application.

The NetBeans IDE is an open-source integrated development environment based on the NetBeans Platform and has been written entirely in the Java language. The NetBeans IDE supports development for all Java application types (such as Java SE, Web, EJB, and Java ME mobile applications). Among other key features are an Apache Ant-based project system, version control, and refactoring tools.
For mobile development, NetBeans provides many Rapid Application Development (RAD) features, such as a Visual Flow Designer, Visual Form Designer, and tools for multitarget development.
To enable the use of NetBeans by developers building mobile Java applications for devices, Nokia has provided support for NetBeans in many of the Series 40 and S60 SDKs, including all the recent Series 40 5th Edition and S60 3rd Edition SDKs.
Mobile Java developers may also be interested in the UML plug-in. This plug-in enables developers to design UML diagrams as Class Diagrams and to synchronize code with them. The UML plug-in is available in the All package of NetBeans or can be loaded into NetBeans using the IDE's plug-in manager (by selecting Tools -> Plugins from the menu).
Following are some of the key features of NetBeans for development of Java applications:
- Code completion.
- Javadoc™ help.
- Many refactoring features.
- Code assistant.
- Project view.
- The availability of many additional tools and plug-ins.
The current version of NetBeans is 6.5.1 and can be downloaded from http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html. To develop mobile Java applications, developers should download the Java or All packages, which support Java ME development.
Following are some of the key features of NetBeans for development of mobile Java applications:
- Application Flow Designer.
- Screen Designer.
- Code analyzer.
- A modular build system.
- Application porting support.
- Wireless connection wizard (available in the All package).
- Scalable 2D Vector Graphics API for J2ME™ (JSR 226) support.
- Various deployment options, including deployment to a Nokia device using Nokia PC Suite.
- Project support.
- Integrated development tools.
- J2MEUnit testing support.
- Integrated obfuscation and optimization support.
For more information on these features, see the Nokia Developer NetBeans page.
Getting started with NetBeans
Creating a new Java ME project with NetBeans
A NetBeans project contains information about program files and IDE environment settings. To create a new project, select File -> New Project... from the NetBeans menu or use the Ctrl+Shift+N keyboard shortcut. The window shown in the following figure will open.
Choose Java ME from the Categories list and then Mobile Application from the Projects list. Selecting the Next button opens the dialog shown in the following figure.
Name the project and choose a location on the file system in which to store it. Note the option Create Hello MIDlet. Choosing this option will create a simple "Hello World"-style application, but more important, it will initialize the application to use the visual designers for application flow and screen layouts. Again, select the Next button, and the dialog shown in the following figure opens.
If the Create Hello MIDlet option is not selected, you will have to create a MIDlet yourself after the project is created. For this, go to File -> New File..., select MIDP in the Categories list and MIDlet in the File Types list. Press Next, give your MIDlet a name and press Finish.
Now select the Emulator Platform the application will be coded against. You can use most of the S60 and Series 40 SDKs. In this case, the S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 SDK for Symbian OS, for Java has been selected. At this stage, the S60Emulator device is selected to enable testing of the application on a PC, using the emulator supplied in the SDK. Once again, select Next, and the following dialog is displayed.
This dialog allows additional configurations to be added to a project. For a first application, no additional configurations are needed, so simply select Finish to complete the New Project wizard.
Creating a flow, building screens, and adding code
Once the project has been created, NetBeans will display the Flow Designer in the NetBeans editor, as shown in the following figure.
Create the application flow by dragging elements from Displayables, located under the Palette (in the right-hand window of the IDE) into the Flow Designer. Then grab commands and drag them to the displayable that they are required to flow to.
Once the flow has been created, individual screens can be created. This is done by selecting the displayable and then selecting the Screen tab in the Visual Designer. A screen similar to the one shown in the following figure will be displayed.
As with the Flow Designer, screen components can now be dragged into the Device Screen and edited to create the desired effect. Once the screen has been designed, the code can be modified to implement the application-specific business logic. Select the Source tab to open the code. A screen similar to the one in the following figure will be displayed.
When the source view is first opened, all the code generated by the flow and screen designers is in minimized code blocks labeled Generated.... Expand these code blocks to see the generated code highlighted in gray. This code cannot be changed. The application-specific code can be inserted in the sections of the code that are not highlighted.
With these tools, applications can be developed relatively quickly. In addition, it is worth noting that NetBeans provides features for taking advantage of JSR 226 and SVGT content. JSR 226 enables highly graphical content to be created with tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Ikivo Animator, eliminating the need to program graphics for menus and a range of application screens.
Building the project and running it in the emulator
Having created the application with the Visual Designer and added any business logic, save the project by selecting File -> Save from the NetBeans menu (or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S). Now the project can be built. To do so, select Run -> Build Main Project from the NetBeans menu (or press the F11 key). NetBeans will start to compile the project, as shown in the following figure. Information on the build process is displayed in the Output window at the bottom of the IDE.
If there are no errors in the build process, the project can now be run in the S60 emulator. To do so, select Run -> Run Main Project from the NetBeans menu (or press F6). First, a dialog showing launch progress is displayed, as shown in the following figure.
The emulator is then opened and the application started, as shown in the following figure.
The application can now be tested to confirm that it behaves in the manner expected. Once testing has finished, the application can be closed; however, the emulator should be left open if more testing is planned. Leaving the emulator open improves the speed of deploying the project to the emulator, because the emulator does not have to be started first.
Deploying the MIDlet to a Nokia device
When the project is built, NetBeans creates its MIDlet Suite, consisting of a JAD file and a JAR file. These are found in the project's /dist folder. If the Nokia PC Suite is installed on the development PC, the NetBeans deployment module can be used to deploy the application to a Nokia device connected to the PC by a Bluetooth, infrared, or USB connection.
To use this feature, the project needs to be told which deployment option to use. Do so by opening the project's properties, by selecting File -> Project Properties from the NetBeans menu. In the properties dialog, shown in the following figure, select Deploying from the Category list on the left of the display.
Now select Nokia Terminal connected via PC Suite as the method, and save the properties. Next, select Deploy from the project's context menu. The application will now be sent to the device connected to the PC, where it is installed in the usual way. Once installed, the application can be run in exactly the same way as it would be if it had been installed by a user.
Further information about deploying an application to a device is available here.
More information
We hope that this short introduction has shown how powerful and convenient NetBeans is for creating mobile Java applications. There is much more information on creating mobile Java applications for Nokia devices in this Wiki and on the Nokia Developer website.
You can also find out more from the NetBeans web page.

'Town Mother' Ruth Ham leaves legacy of service to Shapleigh Sanford News correspondent passes away at age 81
Thursday, February 7, 2013
SHAPLEIGH — The Town of Shapleigh lost a dedicated public servant when Selectwoman Ruth S. Ham, 81, passed away at the Southern Maine Medical Center on Monday night.
"Her love of Shapleigh and its people were evident throughout her columns each week," said Sanford News Editor Shawn P. Sullivan. "She was a thoughtful woman, and we were fortunate that she was Shapleigh's voice for our newspaper."
According to her obituary, Ham was known by one and all as "Town Mother." She was born on Dec. 14, 1931, in Pepperell, Massachusetts, and attended local schools and graduated from Pepperell High School. Before she met and married her husband, Warren, she wanted to become a nun to serve the poor.
Ham began attending the First Baptist Church at 600 Shapleigh Corner Road, and served as its treasurer for more than 30 years. She also taught Sunday School and was a Girl Scout leader. She was instrumental in starting the food pantry in the area.
She was predeceased by her husband, Warren, in 2003 and by a son, Edward Ham, in 1980; and by three brothers, John, Paul, and Charles.

Amanco: Developing the Sustainability Scorecard, Spanish Version
Robert S. Kaplan, Ricardo Reisen de Pinho
Publication Date:Jan 25, 2007
Source:Harvard Business School
Product number:
Spanish Hardcopy Black & White
Also Available in:
|Spanish Hardcopy Black & White

Describes the challenges of using the Balanced Scorecard to implement a triple-bottom-line strategy for delivering excellent economic, environmental, and social performance. The owners and senior executive team of Amanco, a producer of plastic pipe and complete water treatment systems, want strong financial returns but are also deeply committed to improving the environment and making a difference in people's lives. Robert Salas, CEO, wants a management system that communicates and motivates Amanco's three high-level goals. Initially, he creates a simple scorecard of measures, but he soon migrates to developing a strategy map and Balanced Scorecard that places economic, environmental, and social objectives as the highest-level objectives. He faces the challenges of cascading the corporate Balanced Scorecard to operating units throughout Latin America and how to develop better measures of social and environmental impact. Salas must also address whether he can sustain Amanco's balanced strategy while entering the Brazilian market, where he faces an entrenched and much larger competitor.
learning objective:

Q.Paint has been used to mark lines on the ground for defining ground under repair. A ball lands on such a line and some paint adheres to the ball. May the player remove the paint?
A.No, unless the ball is in a position from which it may be lifted under the Rules and cleaned under Rule 21, in which case the player may attempt to remove the paint.
• 24-2b/20 Interference by Line or Mark on Ground Consisting of Lime or Paint.
Q.Through the green, is it permissible to remove cut grass adhering to a ball?
A.No. Such action is prohibited by Rule 21. Anything adhering to a ball is not a loose impediment – see Definition of "Loose Impediments."
• 23-1/5 Removal of Insect on Ball.
Q.A player is asked to lift his ball, which is lying through the green or in a hazard, because the ball interferes with the play of another player. The player authorizes the caddie to lift the ball and, having marked its position and lifted the ball, the caddie throws the ball to the player who catches it. Except when the ball lies on the putting green, it is not permissible to clean a ball lifted because of interference. Does the act of throwing and catching the ball constitute cleaning it?
A.Whether the ball is cleaned is a question of fact. The action described could result in a ball being cleaned. Any doubt should be resolved against the player.
Q.A player lifted his ball for identification purposes without announcing his intention to his opponent, marker or a fellow-competitor. Thus, he was in breach of Rule 12-2. He also failed to mark the position of the ball before he lifted it in breach of Rule 20-1 and cleaned the ball more than was necessary for it to be identified, a breach of Rule 21. The penalty for breach of each of these Rules is one stroke. Does the player incur a penalty of three strokes?
A.No. The player incurs a penalty of one stroke for failing to act in accordance with Rule 12-2. An additional penalty under Rule 20-1 or Rule 21 is not justified – see Rule 12-2 and Exception under Rule 21.
Q.A piece of mud adheres to a player's ball. The player lifts the ball under a Rule which does not permit cleaning. When he replaces the ball, may he place it facing another direction so that the mud would not interfere between the clubface and the ball?
A.Yes, provided the ball is replaced on the spot from which it was lifted. However, if the player rotated the ball in such a way so as to "tee" it on the mud, he would be in breach of Rule 20-3a.

Murad Customer ReviewsPump is great for in the shower - 4/1/2015 11:14:55 AM I love this Murad cleanser. I originally got it because my post-menopausal skin was beginning to have a rougher texture. It has worked very well for me. Does my skin look perfect...no. But it does look better. This pump bottle is perfect to leave in my shower.not sure yet how good this is for me - 2/18/2015 3:03:43 PM I have very sensitive skin on my neck. for instance I tried the Strivectin neck cream & my neck broke out in 1 night. I believe this more gentle, I like the weight of it but I need to mix it with a little Aveene cream so I didn't see the "over-night results". I expect I will see good results as it isn't stinging now, but I've diluted it. I think this little tube is a bit over-priced.- 1/9/2015 8:26:19 AM I love Murad products and am very glad that I purchased this cleansing cream. My skin gets very dry in the winter, and this cleansing cream moisturizes and my skin feels great after using !Excellent overall, but... - 1/8/2015 1:08:22 AM I bought this concealer in light about a month ago. I like the coverage. Not sure if it cures the pumples, but at least it doesn't clog my pores and doesn't promote formation of new pimples. The big drawback of this concealer - I have pale skin and the concealer is too dark for me, it makes my skin yellowish. I finish my make up with loose powder that matches my skin tone, but it doesn't cover those yellow spots. Other than that, it's a great concealer that I'd recommend to my friends with darker skin.Murad 3 step acne treatment - 1/7/2015 9:15:36 AM this 3 step acne treatment really works i noticed very good results with just one week of using this product on my face and chest i feel like theirs hope now. Its a bit pricey but definitely worth a try no joke the product works i will be a repeat customer for sure im loving the complements on how my skin is clearing..Loved this product - 12/21/2014 6:48:16 AM From the moment I put it on my skin felt it looked plumb and radiant. And felt so nice, I felt my dry skin just go away instantly and woke up looking stil plump and lines barely visible. Fine lines seems to disappear within 2 hours... Definitely going to be my daily use product! I highly recommend this to everybodyGreat eye moisturizer! - 11/30/2014 4:37:26 PM I first tried it in a sample container and love it! It is very smooth and silky and is great to use as a base for concealer under the eye as it doesn't have a greasy texture.The only serum that really works for acne marks - 11/22/2014 4:22:09 PM I've tried soooooo many. This works the best. I see result in just two weeks!!!Excellent Product - 11/8/2014 10:20:22 PM I have been using this product for more than a year and am very happy with my results. The cream is light and easy to wear but works to diminish wrinkles very quickly. I not only noticed improvements in the first few months of using this cream, the improvement continued over time. Now, people tell me that I look very young all the time!Best Dark Spot Remover - 9/27/2014 7:59:20 AM I had several freckles and dark spots on my cheeks from sun exposure when I was younger (and not so smart about my skin versus the sun ) and noticeably more on the left side of my face from driving (even though I use sunscreen). I researched the best ingredient to use to get rid of dark spots and this product has it. After using it once at day (before bed) for about a month, I noticed a significant decrease in dark spots. I've been using it ever since and I have very few dark spots left. It goes on easily, absorbs quickly and doesn't bother my sensitive skin. I'll be a forever user and would recommend to anyone who has unwanted spots.

Latest update : 2010-01-27
Chinese bloggers denounce censorship
In this edition, the Chinese blogosphere denounces web censorship in the country while Californian net users decode the personality of Meg Whitman, candidate for the post of Governor.
Web censorship in China
The Web is currently the subject of a battle between Washington and Beijing. A confrontation caused by Google, which is planning to quit China after being the victim of cyber attacks. During a speech given last Thursday, Hillary Clinton spoke in favour of a free internet, incurring Beijing's wrath.
This was the opportunity for many Chinese net users to make themselves heard and to denounce online censorship. On Sunday a blogger called for mobilisation on Twitter. He urged net users to flood the site with messages hostile to the great electronic wall, the name given to the web filtering measures implemented by Beijing.
Censorship which concerns sensitive political issues, pornography and video games. In this video, filmed in the virtual world of 'World of Warcraft', devotees of the game, currently unavailable in China, rise up against all of these restrictions.
Avoiding these filters or 'jumping over the wall' as Chinese net users call it, remains nevertheless possible. Several programmes allowing people to avoid censorship are circulating on line. And they are updated regularly, when censors reinforce filters.
Conversely, this application targets foreign net users want to slip inside the skin of a Chinese net user. It's goodbye to Youtube, Facebook and Twitter: they can surf as though they were behind the Great Electronic Wall of China.
Meg Whitman : California's next governor?
Will the former director General of Ebay, Meg Whitman be appointed as the Republican party candidate for the November vote, which is to nominate a successor to Arnold Schwarzenegger as Governor of California? According to Friday's poll, she holds 45% of voting intentions, compared with 17% for her opponent, Steve Poizner.
However, on the web, the candidate is receiving a great deal of criticism. A site entitled, negmeg, has been set up to denounce her candidacy. It calls on net users to post negative opinions about the candidate, such as this animation which criticises the methods she employed while she was Ebay President.
In this video, supporters of Steve Poizner criticise the fact that she has not voted since 1974. They ask, 'how can you vote for someone who doesn't vote'?
And many bloggers are also broadcasting remarks by the President of Craigslist. During his trial against Ebay in December, the latter declared that there are two Meg Whitmans. Usually likeable, she apparently turns into a monster when angry.
But others defend the woman who participated in John McCain's campaign during the last Presidential elections, such as this video blogger. A former Democrat, he asserts having become a Republican thanks to her and calls on net users to give her their votes.
Meanwhile Meg Whitman continues to run an active online campaign. A campaign mainly aimed at women, as shown by this video.

Yoko Ono And Sean Lennon Set To Perform 'Double Fantasy' Live
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Yoko Ono will perform her and John Lennon's final album, 1980's Double Fantasy, next month in London, with son Sean Lennon, according to NME. The show, which will feature special guests, takes place on June 23rd at the Royal Festival Hall to close out Ono's nine-day Meltdown Festival, which will also include shows at Queen Elizabeth Hall. Participating performers include Patti Smith, Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Iggy Pop, and Savages, among others.
John Lennon's personal assistant, Fred Seaman, was present during Lennon's final songwriting and demo sessions in Long Island and Bermuda prior to his 1980 studio comeback. He told us that Lennon thought long and hard on the material which became his final set of songs: "The official recording started in August of 1980, but the idea started in the spring of 1980 when John and I were in Cold Spring Harbor. And then in June of 1980, when we were in Bermuda. That's when John really started recording the demos and Yoko was recording her own demos. And they were on the phone and he was telling her what he was recording and she was telling him what she was recording."

Yum Woon Sen (Thai Noodles Salad with Shrimp)
Summer in the US can be scorching hot, which can potentially strip your healthy appetite even though you're hungry. In times like this, I like to make refreshing and light salads when I am not in the mood to have something heavy. Thai salads always fit the bill as the signature flavors of tart, spicy, sweet, and salty always set my mouth watering, for example: green papaya salad or som tam, and yum woon sen, cellophane noodles salad.
Cellophane noodles, also known as glass noodles, mung bean noodles, tang hoon (in Malaysia & Singapore) are a type of Asian noodles made with mung beans. Unlike rice noodles, cellophane noodles have a smooth surface and mouth feel, springy in texture, and almost transparent (hence the name "glass" noodles) when cooked. Many of my favorite Thai dishes are made with this type of noodles, and one of them is yum woon sen.
While you can easily get an order of yum woon sen at any Thai restaurants, I find homemade version so much more appetizing. First of all, I can have as many shrimp as I want in the noodle salad; secondly, I love chilling the salad before serving. On warm summer days when the temperature is baking hot, try this yum woon sen recipe. I am sure you will love the refreshing good taste of this classic Thai salad. You can even make a big batch and serve as a side for your next BBQ party.

Nice and light, a perfect dish for summer!
Two of my favorite things, noodles and shrimp. I'll definitely try this.
What brand of mung bean noodles do you recommend? I see many of them in the Asian market and confused which one to get.
if you find either Kaset brand or Pine brand (in a red colour bag) they are great. The texture a lot chewier and it doesn't break easily after you cook. Pine brand is my most favorite one but it's very hard to find. Only in a selected Thai grocery but if you come across it, grab one and try it.
This shrimp salad looks great. Is your version of yum woon sen spicy?
Angela Tellone Hatch Tell me about it, can't go wrong with noodles and shrimp and Thai flavors. :)
I love your version of yum woon sen..very appealing and delicious looking! Got to try this soon!
Hi, it was not mentioned how much cilantro and mint to use. How much would you recommend? Good job on the recipe by the way! This is perfect for hot summer days!

Hi, thanks for the recipe. Is it ok if nuts are omitted?

Ravenwood Fair Full Review
By Ange Perdu
Ravenwood Fair is a 2D fantasy themed building management simulation RPG where players enter the cursed Ravenwood forest to create an amusement park for all the local woodland critters. Players have to clear the land while battling scary mystical creatures hiding in the trees. Complete challenging quests. Set up various attractions. Converse with visitors and calm them down when evil spirits in the forest scare them. Visit friends' fairs to lend a helping hand. Add decorations to spruce up the place and draw more guests. Build the biggest animal carnival with rides and games to be the talk of the town in Ravenwood Fair.
Deep in the Haunted Forest, the Gameplay
In Ravenwood Fair players get dropped in the middle of a haunted forest. After a brief tutorial from Huginns the raven players are left on their own to create an amusement park of sorts that will also serve as a place to host special events like the upcoming royal wedding. Similar to Zynga's FrontierVille in terms of gameplay players must chop down trees, smash rocks, and pull up twigs to clear the land. Coins, XP, and random resources drop as rewards. These resources are needed later for completing missions, the construction process, and replenishing energy. Occasionally ghoulish monsters like the Domovoi or infamous Grim Reaper will jump out when cutting down trees. Players must click on them to bash and destroy. On the left side of the screen quest icons appear. Quests usually involve tasks that assist in the growth of the fairgrounds or play into the story plot. Some missions require players to build 4 or more hotdog carts to start a hotdog eating contest. Find hidden Wondersites, build an Inn for guests to stay at, or collect various resources like 12 crystals. The gameplay can be slow at times since the majority of quests and construction relies heavily on collecting materials by clearing the forest. As players clear the land they must build attractions to draw more visitors to the park. To complete these structures woodland resources in the form of wood, food, energy, tree sap, crystal, ladybugs, leafs, or magical vitalin is required. Players can build food stands, cottages, rides, and games.
Mike the Mouse's Fun Level
At the top right corner of the screen is the fair's fun rating. Each attraction or special decoration increases the overall fun level of the park. The higher the level the more visitors will come. Buildings have an allotted number of uses, earnings, and a designated fun rating. After they reach their limit players have to click on them to restock and maintain the park. A cool feature in the game is character interaction. All the furry animals visiting the fair have names and back-story like a traditional RPG users can click to talk to them. Meet Mike the mouse, Jeffery the owl, Avalon the wild cat, Suki the Fox, Donovan the moose, and an assortment of other characters. Depending on your reply their response will change. Throughout the game wicked spirits will terrorize the visitors at the fair. They will shriek and shiver. Players have about 9 minutes to find them and quickly mouse over them to calm their fears. It can become annoying at times. Protectors like the magical Happy Oak, Gentleman Juggler, and Bright Boletes can be placed in the amusement park to help defend and comfort panic-stricken visitors.
Attending Fairs for Funds with Friends
The adorable doe-eyed animals in Ravenwood resembles LOLapps other popular game Critter Island. Players can visit their friends' fairgrounds and help out as well. Each user is allowed one visit per day to each buddy. For assisting energy, coins, XP, and random woodland materials are rewarded. Users can play games, visit rides or buildings, purchase food at venues. There is also an option to soothe other frightened guests or tend to their forest chopping down trees. Restock sold out attractions to keep your friends' fun rating up. Friends can help with the construction process by sending needed materials. For players who don't mind a little spamming on their pal's wall to get the job done asking for resources is also an option.
In the Ye Olde Shoppe
The customization in Ravenwood Fair is quite limited. There's a small selection of building structures, games, and decorations with minimal themes to choose from. Players can construct bland hotdog carts, dopefish stands, churro wagons, pilgrim houses, log cabins, Ravenwood Inns, Epic Chapels, and different colored cottages. Set up games like the Sarlacc Pegball, Ferris Squeal, Wedding Ring Toss, Whack-a-Bug, and Bumper bugs. Decorations consist of maple trees, hedges, hay wagons, tables, dirt paths, bushes, balloons, daisies, sunflowers, tulips, white picket fences, wooden benches, rock passageways, skeletons, pumpkins, barrel cacti, tombstones, bongo drums, lanterns, jagged rocks, tumble weeds, roses, clean grass, exquisite lawn, and royal gazebos.
It's somewhat disappointing since the game has such detail graphics and impressive sound effects. The attractions and décor should match but they fall short. Full resource packs along with exclusive shop items require Facebook Credits to purchase. Players who spend real cash on credits have a significant advantage over others in the quality and growth speed of their fairgrounds.
Final Verdict: Fair
Although created by FPS legend John Romero Ravenwood Fair is simply a watered down version of FrontierVille that replaces pioneers for clothed raccoons. The cuddly creatures might turn off some players but there is an underlying horror theme. The graphics and sound effects are great at creating a chilling atmosphere. It features a rare combination of cute and frightening which doesn't blend well. Due to the poor customization options that addicting factor is also missing. The small selection of structures combined with tedious land clearing makes it a more challenging game that fans of Critter Island and Treasure Isle will enjoy. At the very core it's a basic social resort management simulation game with a unique RPG story line implemented. Ravenwood Fair is entertaining at times and possesses potential but it may not be for everyone.

Leaving New York
12 October 2009
Leaving New York
Monday 12th October 2009. Dallas. Show day.
Baggage call was 10am so I did most of my packing last night. We've been in this hotel for months, it feels like, and the possibility of leaving things behind is very real so I took my time doing a couple of thorough idiot checks before heading out.
'Leaving New York never easy,' as somebody once sang and I did feel very sad to go. I'll be back of course, but I think I felt a bit of a pang at having been based here for so long and had absolutely no time to make the most of it. Not a single art museum visited, barely a purchase made, barely a sight seen.
The flight to Dallas was a good deal longer than we're used to on show day, but it did give a chance to do some work and catch up with people with whom you might normally share such extended proximity. The downside was arriving at the venue at 6.10pm for an 8.45 show, which meant it was pedal to the metal from arrival until Space Oddity.
The venue's strange. It's the new Cowboys gazillion dollar Stadium which is absolutely vast, with multi-layered bars and restaurants overlooking the field, concourses, corporate suites and a 95 million dollar video screen. It should all add up to something spectacular but it really felt like playing in the atrium of a shopping mall. The fact of the house video screen obliterating the top half of our stage didn't help, but all the same it felt pretty soulless. There was a good crowd though, so no real complaints and before we knew it we were heading back to the airport. The building did sound good though, which was a relief because it has a roof and often these enclosed metal and glass rooms sound awful.
One nice thing was receiving a random email from a U2 fan who asked if the visual environment for 'Unforgettable Fire' in our show was inspired in any way by Coventry Cathedral in the UK. As it happens it wasn't, but looking at the images of the two things you can certainly see a connection. I love it when that happens.

Sound was Perfect down low where I was, just as good as Soldier Field. Muse was amazing! U2 as well,of course! Drove 15 hours and was not let down!

Getting Ready in Las Vegas
Drove out to Sam Boyd Stadium this afternoon to take a peek at the Claw. The Stadium is bustling with workers getting the stage ready. This is my third time seeing U2 at Sam Boyd. The 1992 ZOO Tv Outside Broadcast Tour, PopMart in 1997, and 2009 360 Tour. The weather is perfect and I can't wait for the show.
22 October, 2009
Sound was not good at the top
The sound in the stadium was HORRIBLE at the top. The lower you went the better it got. I would suggest u2 not play any domed stadiums in the future unless they can guarantee the roof will be open. The show was as good as usual (been to 5 others) but the sound was almost intolerable.
22 October, 2009
Crazy Similarity!
That guy was right! The Unforgettable Fire screen and that coventry cathedral look incredibly similar! I'll bet the Coventry Cathedral isn't near as cool to see as a U2 concert! God bless . . . .

Dallas to Oklahoma
Met up with some people who saw the show in Dallas and were very disappointed in the sound. THEY WERE THRILLED with the show in Norman, and oh so glad they had another chance at the show. THANKS WILLIE, for keeping us posted. Going to miss this soonQ

Open the roof Jerry
I recently touched based with friend who saw the U2 concert in Dallas, I met up with him shortly after the houston show, the houston show rocked!!!! according to my friend the dallas show had horrible acoustics toward the top, he pretty much sat in the same area in houston show, by far the houston show was 100% better in the sound quality. The only he could think of was the fact that relant stadium had the roof open. Regardless of the sound we all still love U2, Willie if you could please tell bono and the boys thanks for Ultra violet that was our wedding song my wife and myself love that song, hey if you and the lads ever want to go offshore in the gulf of mexico I got a 38' vessel that can accomadate all of us (just no glass containers) down at south padre island trip is on me!!!!
22 October, 2009
Please come back to Fort Worth or Dallas
I just wanted to apologize on behalf of Jerry Jones who I affectionately refer to as Schmegle (get it -from "The Lord of the Rings"). I was in the 200 section. I invited several people and we all were so inspired as we always are by your SOUND and message. "Jerry World" should have opened the roof maybe even a few feet to let the sound escape and fans in the nose bleed sections could hear how awesome the four of you are. AWESOME CONCERT! AWESOME MESSAGE! Thank you for GRACING us with your presence in Texas.
22 October, 2009
Willie--The show was amazing in Dallas. I was the girl that was 8 months pregnant in the inner circle--I loved every minute of it. I have been a HARD core u2'er for 15 years now---and I am only 28. You all did an fabulous job for the show---thank you for all that you do! And tell Bono thank you for acknowledging me and rubbing his belly and singing. I had a sign that I held up the entire concert stating "8 months pregnant" and "my baby's first u2 show". It was the best!
22 October, 2009
Willie! Were we on the same planet!!!!
I came from Dublin Ireland to see U2 in Dallas with my brother. We met another brother who flew in from San Francisco for the concert. We were sitting in the 400 section and the sound was dreadful! In fact it was worse than dreadful it was shocking due to the very poor acoustics in that building. I had been to Croker in Dublin for 2 concerts in July and the sound was great.Tell the lads that if they are gonna play such big indoor areana's that they make sure they are able to take the sound. As you say in your blog "The building did sound good though" Are you for real??? May be it was ok down stairs but up high it was brutal. I had been looking forward to the gig since Aug when we organised to go over to Dallas to see them - What a let down!!

FLASHBACK: The Beatles' 'Let It Be' Premieres In New York City
Monday, May 13, 2013
It was 43 years ago today (May 13th, 1970), that the Beatles' final movie, Let It Be, received its U.S. premiere, in New York City theaters. The film, which was shot in January 1969, was originally intended to be a TV special called Get Back featuring the group rehearsing for their first live show in over two years. The early rehearsals captured the group, along with John Lennon's soon-to-be wife Yoko Ono, clearly bored, with only Paul McCartney showing any real enthusiasm for the new material. The first part of the film shows the strain of the early morning sessions held in a cavernous soundstage at London's Twickenham film studios.
Producer George Martin recalled in The Beatles Anthology that the Let It Be project held great promise in the beginning: "They were going through a very, very revolutionary period at that time. And they were trying to think of something new. They did actually come up with a very good idea, which I thought was well worth working on; The wanted to write an album completely and rehearse it and then perform it in front of a large audience -- and for that to be a live album of new material. And we started rehearsing down at Twickenham film studios, and I went along with them."
George Harrison, who was the least invested member of the band in regards to returning to the stage, recalled the band's initial plan: "I think the original idea was to rehearse some new songs, and then we were going to pick a location and record the album of the songs in a concert. I suppose kinda like they do these days on Unplugged, except, y'know, it wasn't to be unplugged. It was to do a live album."
Among the songs featured in the film are "Let It Be," "Get Back," "Don't Let Me Down," "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," "For You Blue," "Octopus' Garden," "I Me Mine," "Across The Universe," and "The Long And Winding Road," and covers of "Besame Mucho," "Shake, Rattle And Roll," and "Kansas City," among many others.
In 1970 John Lennon recalled the nearly month-long film shoot saying: "It was just a dreadful, dreadful feeling being filmed all the time. I just wanted them to go away. And we'd be there at eight in the morning and you couldn't make music at eight in the morning, or 10, or whatever it was . . . in a strange place with people filming you and colored lights."
The tension between the group is palpable, especially during the sequence where Harrison and McCartney argue over Harrison's playing on the song "Two Of Us."
McCartney explained that unconsciously, the Beatles were actually telling the world that they were breaking up: "In fact what happened was when we got in there we showed how the breakup of a group works because we didn't realize that we were actually breaking up, y'know as it was happening."
The movie lightens up considerably during the second half, when the filming moved to the group's new Apple basement studios, with the addition of keyboardist Billy Preston. A major highlight of the film is the final sequence, when the Beatles play in impromptu set on the Apple headquarters rooftop, featuring "Get Back," "Dig A Pony," "I've Got A Feeling," "Don't Let Me Down," and "One After 909." Filmed on January 30th, 1969, it would be the band's final public performance.
Reviews for the film, which was released a month after the group's breakup, were mixed, citing the sluggish and depressing nature of the film, as well as director Michael Lindsay-Hogg's sloppy editorial choices. But across the board, both critics and fans agreed on the power of the group's triumphant rooftop set.
Let It Be earned the Beatles their only Academy Award, when they won the 1970 Oscar for Best Original Song Score.
The film was briefly available on VHS in 1981, but is not yet available on DVD. Apple has supposedly been preparing a deluxe, multi-disc expanded edition culled from the 90 hours of footage shot during the sessions, but no release date has been announced.

Note that IBM has been focusing more and more on software and services, and steadily divesting from hardware. I doubt that Sparc would survive in any form.
IBM are big in the OASIS group that specified the standards by which OpenOffice works; In some areas OpenOffice is seen as IBM's baby, and the press believe that IBM are using OpenOffice as a stick to beat Microsoft.
OpenOffice, MySQL and Java are the things that will definitely survive.
I kinda hope that Solaris will continue and that AIX apps will be ported to it because Solaris is more mature and has more development (especailly with ZFS), especially since OpenSolaris has a PowerPC variant now, but that may be my wishful thinking.
Problem with ZFS though is that IBM sell raid and storage solutions and ZFS does all that for free ... IBM might not like that hanging around ... Only thing in it's favour is that ZFS will hurt the competition too.
One thing not mentioned (we have an ex-sun employee in our office, and he still likes Sun, but not the atmosphere that currently surrounds the place Sun still have 3 Billion in cash reserves, so if IBM buy it for 6 Billion they're getting a very good deal.
Note that IBM has been focusing more and more on software and services, and steadily divesting from hardware. I doubt that Sparc would survive in any form.
interesting idea. However I know from a reputable source at sun, that there is more and more support towards dropping opensolaris/solaris entirely and moving to linux.
However this is not exactly likely to happen right now considering sun's higher echelons but worth noting. If a merger happen ibm might just do it.
However with the NYT breaking the news there is more then likely some credibility to it.* story may be full of bullshit if originating from inquirers "reliable sources"
Back on topic, I can see IBM killing solaris and GPL'ing it's worthwhile assets (zfs, dtrace, etc).
And from the guy in my office who still owns Sun shares, the shareholders have said they want more money, and IBM have told them to get stuffed ...
So this is off.
I got told that ibm retracted their bid, but that it would probably be back.
It's a good job this isn't eBay, otherwise you can get negative feedback for that
Oh well.
