Latest update : 2011-11-30
Syrian crackdown does not spare children
The child victims of Syria's brutal repression of the anti-government uprising. Online reports of the sexual assaults on women in Egypt. And a video infographic on the world of social media in 2011.
Syrian crackdown does not spare children
These pictures are available online and are hard to stomach. They were uploaded on the 15th November and according to Syrian cyber activists, show the lifeless body of Salem Ibrahim Shartah, a twelve year old boy, who was killed by security forces in Idlib in north western Syria.
This video was apparently filmed on Monday in the suburbs of Damascus; children and teenagers often join in the anti-government protests taking place across the country.
Young protesters are not spared by forces loyal to Bashar al Assad. Various sources have reported that between 250 and 300 children have been killed by security forces since the uprising began 8 months ago, something which was condemned in a recent report released by the United Nations Human Rights Council, in which Damascus is accused of crimes against humanity.
The Local Coordination Committees of the Syrian Revolution have said on their website that 10 children have been tortured to death whilst in detention. Such was the case for Hamza al-Khatib who has become a symbol of the brutality of the Syrian regime. Back in May, pictures of the 13 year old boy's mutilated body shocked the entire planet.
And web users are now mourning the death of 9 year old Sari Saoud. According to reports from Syrian cyber activists, this little boy from a Christian family was killed by loyalist forces in Homs. Official State television is challenging this version of events, and is airing this interview with his distraught mother, who declares her son was killed by terrorists.
Sexual harassment in Egypt
There has been a proliferation of accounts from female journalists in recent days saying they have been sexually assaulted as they cover the protests in Egypt against the ruling military. These reports highlight a recurring phenomenon in the streets of Cairo, since the start of the revolution.
The seriousness of the situation is emphasized in a recent statement published on the « Reporters without Borders » web site. The NGO says that women run a greater risk than men when covering events in the country.
But it's not just female journalists that are vulnerable to sexual harassment. This video was filmed last week, and is said to show female blogger Aliaa Elmahdy assaulted by a group of men as she attempted to leave Tahrir Square. The activist recently published nude photos of herself online, something which shocked many of her fellow citizens and which could have partially motivated the attack.
It would seem sexual assaults have become more prevalent in recent weeks and the site « Harass Map » intends to actively fight this by mapping cases of sexual harassment, from salacious remarks to more violent physical attacks, in the capital and the rest of the country. Women are strongly encouraged to report any incidents of sexual harassment during protests on the interactive map.
The vast majority of aggressors are men taking advantage of the huge crowds of protesters where they can act with impunity. But NGO Amnesty International has reported there have been other accounts of "organized" attacks on women carried out by soldiers from the Egyptian military, which has been ruling the country since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak.
Barack Obama joins Google +
Barack Obama is campaigning for reelection next year, and social networks are playing a vital role. The US president's people have just opened an account on the recently launched Google + service. Last month, the occupant of the White House joined blogging platform Tumblr and is also present on YouTube and Flickr. Barack Obama has over 24 million fans on Facebook and over 11 million Twitter followers.
Now trending on social networks
This video was posted online on Sunday; it's called « My Tram Experience » and has since been the subject of lively debate on social networks in the UK. It was filmed by a web user in London, and shows a woman with a child on her lap, hurling racist insults at the other passengers. Her attitude has been widely criticized online with many web users intent on identifying the woman. Their hard work paid off as she was arrested by police on Monday.
Video of the day
This infographic is currently doing the rounds on sharing sites and shows all the latest facts and figures about the world of social media in 2011. It's packed with all sorts of stats: did you know for example that 11 % of the world population has a Facebook account? that 1736 tweets are sent every second? Or that the majority of the 135 million members of LinkedIn are between 35 and 54 years old?

SWEETS FOR YOUR SWEET: Real chocolate can be healthy (and loving) on Valentine's Day
Thursday, February 7, 2013
Love is always sweeter when expressed with chocolate! Especially on Valentine's Day.
The eggs in this recipe (one of only five ingredients, by the way) ensure that the cakes will be light and spongy. But one of the tricky things about cooking with eggs is that while it's easiest to separate yolks from whites while they're cold, it's best to add them to recipes at room temperature (they generate more volume that way).
Given my enduring love for the combination of chocolate and raspberry, I've topped these little cakes with a very simple — but very flavorful — raspberry sauce. There are exactly two ingredients: raspberries and sugar. You just buzz them in a blender, then strain out the seeds.
4 � ounces bittersweet chocolate, divided
In a third medium bowl, use the electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, a little at a time, and continue beating until the whites hold stiff peaks. Set aside.

Breckenridge's other claim to fame is cutting the whiskey with rocky mountain water. imagine that, we've gotten to the point where someone actually sells the fact that they're watering down your whiskey. Not water in the distillation mind you, but WATERING DOWN! What's next, "We package in a smaller 700ml bottle to store more of the flavor you used to get at 750ml."
"What iceberg?"
Thought you might be interested in article in Summit Daily. Breck Distillery new barrel storage going from 320 to 3700 barrels.
Here's the article:
Agreed, Breckenridge Bourbon tastes pretty light and young. But it's still alright.
I got a pour of Breckenridge while visiting Colorado last month. My assessment is the same as Danger's. It was alright. Nothing off-putting, but nothing memorable either. Glad it saved me from spending $45-50 for a bottle in Texas.
The Distributor is really pushing this around here. It's all over in bars, restaurants and package stores. My local chef owned restaurant was sold the same line about awards and such and they were excited to tell me about it. So, it's young low proof and expensive? No thanks. Taste is fine for what it is but at that price? Pass.

Minimum wage jobs on the decline
POSTED: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - 1:30pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - 1:34pm
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The number of people working jobs that paid the federal minimum wage dropped last year, according to new labor statistics published Wednesday.
An estimated 3.6 million people were paid hourly rates at or below the federal minimum in 2012, down from 3.8 million a year earlier.
Just under 60 percent of all U.S. workers are paid hourly, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. An estimated 4.7 percent of those hourly workers make minimum wage or less, down from 5.2 percent, a year earlier. That share is the lowest since 2008.
The $7.25 minimum wage has been in the spotlight recently after President Obama proposed raising it to $9 in his State of the Union address. Worker advocates are pushing hard to raise the level, which is not adjusted to inflation and has lost 30 percent of its purchasing power in recent decades. It was last lifted in 2009.
Eighteen states, plus the District of Columbia, set their own minimum wage rates above the federal level. Washington state's is the highest, at $9.19 an hour, while San Francisco has the highest local rate, at $10.55 per hour.
Workers toiling at the $7.25 federal minimum wage or less tend to be young, female, single and lacking a high school diploma.
There's not much difference when it comes to race: Around 5 percent of white, black and Latino hourly workers earned up to the minimum wage. Among Asians, the share was about 3 percent.
About half of workers paid at or below the minimum wage work in the leisure and hospitality industry, with the vast majority employed in restaurants and food service. Many make tips and commissions to supplement their wages.
The states with the highest proportion of minimum wage workers were Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Idaho, all between 7 percent and 8 percent of their hourly workforce. On the flip side, Alaska, Oregon, California, Montana and Washington have the lowest share, all under 2 percent. All of those states set their own minimum rates above the federal level.
The federal stats, however, miss many minimum wage workers because they don't include those paid a fixed weekly amount, such as maids or landscapers, whose hourly rate often equals the minimum wage. The federal minimum wage translates into about $14,500 a year for a full-time employee.

My Work in Progress
Favorited By:
Well, the FRONT yard is done. Mostly. It IS trial and error over time, right? I love it because it's all me and exactly what I was after; it solved a few problems well and looks great with the house. I have a fondness for year-round interest and like my beds even in winter. I drew a plan in crayon on construction paper before the boxes were unpacked in this house, and a few years later had my vision professionally installed. The designer said I was their toughest customer yet because I knew exactly what I wanted, and it's hard to get inside someone else's head (vs handing money to a nursery and saying "here make it look pretty"). Being new to Va I did need help with picking some plant varieties, but I had the textures and colors all laid out in my head. I also had already installed a few "anchor" plants that are now established and worked out perfectly.

The Pure Interlocking Hog Bristle series is one of our finest brush lines, and quite possibly the finest pure hog bristle you'll find anywhere. The very best craftsmanship goes into each brush, from the top-quality, hand selected white bristle to the accent of gold on the tip of the long, matte-black handles.
The term "interlocking" refers to the abundance of natural flags, or splits, on the tips of the bristles — deep flags that lock together and produce a smooth stroke even with thick or heavy paints.
Set of 6 — Save on a set of six brushes of a single shape. Sizes included are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12.
Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are hand crafted, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Disability Resource Center
The William Peace University Disability Resource Center also provides special assistance to students with disabilities and learning differences. The office assists students in accessing and using appropriate reasonable accommodations, and making sound choices about course load, study skills, strategies and self-advocacy.
Students have the right to privacy and responsibility to disclose their learning differences to the Director of Learning Services. Students who have registered must make an appointment with the director at the beginning of each semester in order to write a current academic reasonable accommodations plan. This plan may include:
Lending Library: The lending library allows students to borrow self-help books on varying disabilities, college success and life skills.
Individual Consultations: Individual Consultations with Disability Services Staff and/or Counseling Staff provide students with guidance on self-advocacy skills, study skills, learning strategies, organizational methods, assistive technology and stress management/relaxation techniques.
Testing Room: The testing room permits students eligible for the separate test setting accommodation to take tests in the center rather than arrange a site through their professor. Students must follow the procedures in scheduling tests. In order to maintain the integrity of testing procedures and the William Peace University Honor Code, all testing sessions are monitored.
Workshops and Programs: Disability Services presents information in a variety of topics to help students succeed in college. Past programs have featured content about relaxation, stress management, test anxiety and time management.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, college students are fully responsible for requesting accommodations and following any procedures involved in the process.

Hi: 11° Lo:6°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Thursday 22 November 2012 Updated: 29/11 16:43
DROITWICH Spa manager Tom Goss had few complaints after seeing his side fall to a 5-2 Midland Combination Division One home defeat against local rivals Fairfield Villa on Saturday but was far from dejected with the performance of his side.
Spa trailed 5-0 at half time but pulled two goals back in a second half when they also had two strong penalty appeals turned down as they fell to a second defeat in the space of a month against their local rivals.
"First and foremost, nobody wants to be 5-0 down in a local derby," Goss said.
"But I was very calm at half time because sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition and they hit a purple patch during which time their strikers were outstanding.
"The movement and timing of runs was unbelievable and in Stuart Hall and Scott Gaffney they have one of, if not the best, strike partnership in this division.
"I knew we weren't playing that badly, we just came up against a very good side who are in very good form."
Ben Brogan netted twice for Spa in a second half which offered encouragement to Goss.
"Six weeks ago I dread to think what the final score would have been given the mindset of some of the players at the time," he said.
"But we have come a long way since then, and whilst I accept Fairfield may have eased off a little, we showed a great mental attitude to keep going and were rewarded with two goals. If the penalty decisions go our way we could have got even closer but it was not to be.
"There is no doubt the better team won but I don't think the difference between the sides was as big as the scoreline suggests.
"I was thrilled with Ben and delighted for him getting the two goals, he is an exciting young talent and will go on to be as good as Fairfield's strikers were on Saturday, I'm convinced about that."
Spa turn their attentions to the second round of the Worcestershire Junior Cup tomorrow and a trip to Bromsgrove Sporting Reserves (1.45pm).
"They have a lot of strength in their squad at Sporting so we know we are going to be facing a good side," Goss added.
"But we are on the right path at the moment and it is important we continue along that road and that includes producing a good display again at Sporting."
SPA Veterans picked up an impressive 4-0 victory against Pershore Vets thanks to goals from Tom Sanders, Dean Tudge, Gareth Brown and an own goal.
Another particularly pleasing aspect of the contest for the side was the important clean sheet kept by goalkeeper Dean Pinner.

The millionaire, who is accused of making a fortune from pirated material while filmmakers and songwriters lost out on copyright revenue, has welcomed the success of the eagerly anticipated website. He has posted a message to Twitter claiming that in just a few hours, some 250,000 users had already signed up to the platform. The overwhelming response sent the sites servers into overload, and the site was momentarily pushed off line.
Already a victim of its own success, Mega is a cloud storage site, and what makes it different is that all the files are encrypted. So when web users set up an account they are given an encryption key that they can share with other users. So the files they upload will not be directly accessible from the platform. A clever trick which effectively means the site cannot be accused of knowingly storing copyrighted materials.
And Kim Dotcom has other projects up his sleeve. He is planning to launch his "Megabox" music service which promises to give artists a healthy revenue stream. And he has also unveiled plans for "Megamovie", a platform devoted to films and TV series.
Newtown shooting conspiracy theories
Some Americans are convinced the Newtown shooting was orchestrated by the Obama administration to gain support to tighten gun laws in the US. And with the US president recently proposing a series of tougher gun control measures, all sorts of conspiracy theories are doing the rounds online. This video which reviews the various theories was posted online last week and has already been viewed over 9 million times.
James Tracy, a blogger and professor at a Florida university, was one of the first to suggest the massacre could actually have been staged. He points out discrepancies in media coverage in the hours following the tragedy and claims there are a number of grey areas in the case, notably the number of gunmen involved and the weapons used.
And while some think events did not actually unfurl as reported in the media, others believe that the massacre never actually took place. The administrators of this website claim the witnesses and families of victims were in fact actors, and working for an agency that specializes in simulating crisis situations as part of training exercises for police and fire crews in the US.
Gene Rosen, in particular has been a prime target for conspiracy theorists. He sheltered six children after they fled their classroom during the shooting and in this interview for Salon.com, the 69-year-old retired psychologist says he has since been on the receiving end of constant harassment.
The Pirate Bay documentary
First announced around two years ago, the documentary about file sharing site The Pirate Bay is set to be released on the web, for free, in the spring. And Simon Klose, the Swedish director has posted this teaser trailer online to give web users a taste of what's to come. The documentary has been financed entirely by web users who sent in donations to the crowd funding site Kickstarter, raising over 50 000 dollars to get the project off the ground and onto the screen.
Make 3D paper face masks
On this site "paper-kit.com", you can print out a customized image which you then cut out and assemble to create a 3D paper mask of your own face! An original idea which will no doubt be a great hit with kids and adults alike.
Video of the day
Google's translation tool is not always that accurate it can sometimes be pretty far off the mark … and members of the CDZA collective that creates musical experiments decided to demonstrate just this by using Google to translate the lyrics of the theme tune to the popular TV series of the 90s, "the Fresh Prince of Bel Air", into various languages and then back into English. With pretty interesting results and new theme tunes which end up making very little sense…

Myrtle Grove WMA
Located in western-central Charles County, Myrtle Grove WMA contains hardwood forests, wildlife plantings, natural and man-made wetlands and early succession habitats. This 1,723-acre tract is located in the forested bottomlands of Mattawoman Creek and was once home to the Piscataway Indians. Myrtle Grove WMA is dominated by mature upland and bottomland forests consisting of oaks, hickories, maples, sycamores, poplars, beech, and several other tree species.

What To See
The mature riparian forest along the Mattawoman is home to the barred owl, a species particularly fond of this type of habitat. The barred owl's call, which sounds like "Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all!" can be heard in the early evenings as the birds call back and forth to each other. Mature hardwoods, green-tree reservoirs, lakes, ponds, streams, and early succession habitats surround many of the trails and support a rich variety of wildlife species.
What To Do
Visitors will find a 23-acre lake, a 10-acre pond, two green-tree reservoirs, and numerous streams on Myrtle Grove WMA. The 23-acre Myrtle Grove Lake and the greentree reservoirs yield a bountiful harvest of large-mouth bass, bluegills, pickerel and catfish. Here, anglers will find year-round fishing and easy access. Sportsmen can pursue white-tailed deer, squirrels, woodcock, rabbits, quail, waterfowl, mourning doves, wild turkeys and other game species.
Area Regulations
- Use of Myrtle Grove WMA is generally permitted seven days a week throughout the year.
- Hunting is allowed in accordance with open seasons, shooting hours, and bag limits.
- Trapping is by permit only.
- Motorized vehicles are prohibited.
Non-hunting Uses

Site Management Practices
Myrtle Grove WMA is located in Charles County about 5 miles west of LaPlata on MD 225. Take U.S. Rt. 301 south to MD 225, about 5 miles south of Waldorf. Go west on MD 225 to Myrtle Grove WMA. For additional information contact the Myrtle Grove Work Center at (301) 743-5161
This area is a part of Marylands Department of Natural Resources public land system and is managed by the Wildlife and Heritage Service. The primary mission of the WMA system is to conserve and enhance wildlife populations and their respective habitats as well as to provide public recreational use of the States wildlife resources.
Eighty-five percent of the funding for Maryland's state wildlife programs comes from hunting license fees and a federal excise tax on sport hunting devices and ammunition. The federal aid funds are derived from the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration (or Pittman-Robertson) Fund, which sportsmen and women have been contributing to since 1937. Each state receives a share of the funds, which is administered by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service; these funds are used for wildlife conservation and hunter education programs, including the management of the WMA system.
Other sources of funds for land acquisition include Program Open Space Funding for Maryland's State and local parks and conservation areas, provided through The Department of Natural Resources' Program Open Space. Established in 1969, Program Open Space symbolizes Maryland's long-term commitment to conserving natural resources while providing exceptional outdoor recreation opportunities.

Brooklyn, Sweden Send Off!
Designer Drugs, Lacey Youngblood, BROOKLYN, SWEDEN Send Off Show
The Rock Shop
249 4th Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11215
Doors 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
With one full length album and over 70 remixes and 500 gigs behind them Designer Drugs have been destroying venues across the world since they began the project in 2007.
"We met through mutual raver friends while we were in high school", says Theo. Michael adds, "At the time, I was DJing and Theo was writing basic tracks on a Roland JX305 hardware synth. We started partying and producing jungle and drum n bass tracks at first and then switched to nu rave/electro/blog house 2007 when Myspace was becoming popular."
After their enormously well received debut album, "Hardcore/Softcore,"(Ultra Records) entered the top 10 on iTunes in 2011, Designer Drugs smashed the A-list club and festival circuit worldwide harder than ever before. Captivating audiences with their unique style, energy, and musical prowess, the New York duo consisting of Michael Vincent Patrick, and Dr. Theodore Paul Nelson, demonstrated an unmatched ability to bring the performance and rile the crowds and earned them the title of Americas #10 best Dj's by Technique. They have set foot in nearly every part of the world - performing in six out of seven continents. In late 2012, the boys released two remixes, now turned collaborations, offering a glimpse into the future of Designer Drugs. The first, Joachim Garraud + Alesia - Atrium, followed by their remix of Audrey Napoleon's - Poison. These remixes, however, are only a small preview of what's to come.
Already sitting on top of their empire, which includes Sex Cult Records and a very extended mix series know to the fans as "DATAMIXES", the duo returns with a release that is sure to smash up the scene from Capetown to Alaska. The title of this contemporary musical masterpiece, "The Drugs Are In Control," reflects the fact that Designer Drugs are here to stay and with more control in the continuation of their intoxicating crusade. Evident on this release is the evolution of their already 'unique' and 'ahead of the time' sound, having taken on new heights and new production techniques. While they still offer everything fans loved from their old originals and remixes. The new tracks are sure to insinuate riots at festivals worldwide.
"Our last album was more esoteric and leftfield," says Michael. "The new songs have our signature sound, but they're more advanced production wise." Theo ads "We're covering a larger spectrum. Of course, it's electronic, but influences from so many different types of music. There's a lot of electro style tracks with big hooks and hint of dubstep but it's definitely an all banger album." Then Michael proceeds to confirm this by saying "Yep. All bangers. Not a single fucking filler on there."
Michael adds, "Another thing that makes this album different and a progression from the last album is that since Theo's graduated from medical school, we get to sit down in the studio together and make sure everything gets done how we both want it. Being able to work full-time together on music is what we've always wanted to do. It allows us to take everything further in terms of songwriting and production. Our workflow is more efficient when we actually sit next to each other in the studio"
The first single offers electrifying and shimmering sounds with an incredibly robust feel. "Space Based," will quite literally blow your head to the moon. Combining the feel of a hard hitting UK dance party in the mid nineties, with their stellar sound that we have come to know and love. (Dark intro, festival breakdown and build up to a mega face-melting drop)
"It's just a fucking banger," says Michael. "It's a pivotal point in our career not nerd out and get overly weird. We kept everything simple."
Following Space Based is the mind-melting "Empty Hearted." A collaboration between Designer Drugs and Alvin Risk, this track offers up emotional hooks and riveting leads, followed by an incredibly gritty and captivating dustup drop. This track does not quit, and will prove itself quite worthy on the floor.
"We've known Alvin Risk for a long time and always loved his production and sound engineering," Michael goes on. "Theo originally wrote it as a pop song, but I thought that a nasty dubstep drop would create a sort of juxtaposition and reveal the meaning of the lyrics which are, ummm, heartless. ha! Alvin brought a lot amazing spices to the round table and we shared all of our magic too. We really got to take everything to the next level."
The third single on this epic, is entitled "The Drugs Are In Control," yet again massively created rhythms and synths, this track carries every element of what Designer Drugs delivered in the past but with a new sheen and flow. Touching base with elements of shoe gaze, punk rock, and indie music, this track is your familiar best friend from what the boys delivered with their earlier works. Along with offering up a captivating new music video that is sure to stimulate every fantasy for visual and auditory art. When The Drugs Are in Control you will be guaranteed to grind your teeth and scream with terror!
Whether you were fond of their impeccable remixes such as their spins on, Annie's - Anthonio, Thieves Like Us' - Drugs In My Body, or their incredible DATAMIX series, you're guaranteed to feel this heaviest, hardest hitting, and most impeccable sound yet. They aim to expand and conquer the world with their upcoming rigorous touring schedule, planned to hit sometime after the release of the new album. Designer Drugs has returned stronger, more willed, and more powerful than ever.

I'm building an application using NFC for Windows Phone 8,
I want to know if the user enabled using Tap+Send from Device settings or not.
How can I detect that?
I'm building an application using NFC for Windows Phone 8,
I want to know if the user enabled using Tap+Send from Device settings or not.
How can I detect that?
Changing device setting through an app in WP8 is not possible. However, when you tap two WP8 devices and their Tap+Send setting is on , they will create a NFC communication channel that can be detected by a sound which appears when the devices are in proximity. By that sound you can detect whether Tap+Send for the device is enabled or not.
Hi Ahmed,
the following blog entry details on how to detect the tap and send state
How to detect if NFC is enabled on Windows Phone 8 devices
I'm a bit late with this hint but I just saw your question. Hope it helps, anyway.
Hi Ahmed,
Did Influencer solution worked for you?
As the article he referenced, in order to detect if the NFC sensor is ready to be usd you can do a simple test:
For this to work you need to add the ID_CAP_PROXIMITY and ID_CAP_NETWORKING capability to your app. To do that, on Solution Explorer, select Properties and then double click the WMAppManifest.xml file. A properties windows should come up.Code:var nfcDevice = Windows.Networking.Proximity.ProximityDevice.GetDefault(); if (nfcDevice != null) { // You are ready to use it } else { // The device is not enabled }
If your app requires a device with NFC to function properly, you can also select on the Manifest Properties the ID_REQ_NFC option. That will prevent users with devices that does not support NFC to install your app. I would not recommend it dough. I prefer to warn the user about the need for the NFC device but having him / her to install my app anyway.

Joined DVLUP yet? This is my DVLUP referral link
Thanks for the info, but this article explains how to detect if the phone has a NFC device, not about detecting the state.
The article explains that there is no way of detecting the NFC enabled state:
Currently (Apr 2013) there is no public API on WP8 for third-party developers to check if "Tap+Send" is switched on or off. If the setting is switched off, Proximity API will behave as if it is working properly without exceptions, but both publish and subscribe requests will be ignored without notification. This could cause your customers confusion. - See more at: http://developer.nokia.com/Blogs/Cod....Q3LULpb4.dpuf
Would be so nice if this could be added to the API, should be possible because the native sharing functionality let's you know if NFC is not enabled
Yes, we should check UserVoice if there is a wish to improve the NFC APIs...
I just think this
Thank you all for your reply,
Regarding the answer to my question, I agree with @RobDaPraia2 reply
Best regards,Currently (Apr 2013) there is no public API on WP8 for third-party developers to check if "Tap+Send" is switched on or off.

In Costa Rica, Canada is represented by the Embassy of Canada in San Jose which opened in 1961.
Costa Rica is represented in Canada by an Embassy in Ottawa and two consulates in Toronto and Vancouver.
Canada and Costa Rica enjoy strong and diverse bilateral relations. The two countries share similar views in many areas, including human rights, rule of law, security and free trade, as well as views on regional and international issues raised in multilateral institutions.
There are approximately 10,000 Canadian residents in Costa Rica and 150,000 Canadians traveled to Costa Rica in 2012.
Canada has a strong trade relationship with Costa Rica. Bilateral merchandise trade reached $705.46 million in 2013. Merchandise exports totalled $114.6 million in 2013 and imports from Costa Rica totalled $590.84 million.
The entry into force of the Canada-Costa Rica Free Trade Agreement (CCRFTA) in November 2002 was a positive development in the relationship. Parallel agreements on environment and labour cooperation were also signed at that time. One of the main objectives of the CCRFTA is to create new opportunities for our respective business communities. During his visit to Costa Rica in August 2011, Prime Minister Harper and Costa Rican President Chinchilla jointly announced the launch of negotiations to modernize the CCRFTA to include cross-border trade in services and government procurement. Negotiators have held several rounds of negotiations and are in contact to plan next steps.
An open skies-type Air Transport Agreement between Canada and Costa Rica entered into force in April 2012. This Agreement allows any airline from Canada or Costa Rica to operate as frequently as desired between both countries and via any point in third countries. The Agreement gives our airlines greater flexibility and in turn means more options for travelers.
Since 2011, Canada has provided a total of $4.7 million in security assistance to Costa Rica through DFATD's Anti-Crime Capacity Building Program (ACCBP). This includes $500,000 in navigation and communication equipment announced by the Prime Minister during his 2011 visit, $1.2 million to the National Police School announced during the Summit of the Americas in April 2012 (consisting of bullet-proof vests, helmets, and surveillance vehicles), $60,000 for training of law enforcement officers and investigators by the RCMP, and $1.1 million in ballistics identification technology to Costa Rica's judicial police.
Academic cooperation between Canada and Costa Rica is modest but constructive. The Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program (ELAP), announced at the Summit of the Americas in 2009, provides scholarship opportunities to Costa Rican college, undergraduate and graduate students for short term studies or research in Canada. Since 2009, 21 Costa Rican students have benefited from an ELAP scholarship. In 2012, 122 Costa Rican students studied in Canada.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Youth Mobility signed in August 2010 came into effect in July 2011. This Agreement permits youth aged 18-35 to travel and work in each other's country for up to one year.
In March 2013, Minister of State of Foreign Affairs (Americas and Consular Affairs) Diane Ablonczy visited Costa Rica, at which time she had fruitful meetings with representatives of the Government, civil society and the business community. Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird visited Costa Rica in July 2013. He had the opportunity to discuss bilateral relations with President Laura Chinchilla and Minister of Foreign Affairs José Enrique Castillo. Parliamentary Secretary David Anderson attended the inauguration of the new Costa Rican President, Luis Guillermo Solis, on May 8, 2014.

They are Killing our people, burning obama stick figures, , burning our flag, burning our Embassies, chanting death to Obama death to America, showing Obamas coffin, violent protests, and Obama has a good foreign policy? Even if you like him you have to admit the middle east doesn't, his foreign policies have failed. He still hasn't come out with the truth about this attack. Hillary, Jay carney everyone has said it but Obama. He's in the dark someone should fill him in before he goes on TV again and makes a fool out of himself blaming a video.
I never said Romneys the best. He's not the one I would have liked to see go against Obama but he's the one that running, and he's outstanding compared to 4 more years under Obama.

It looks like, if I want to keep my Domi with turret damage bonus, I'm going to have to get a navy domi. I guess that's not so bad, but they ain't the cheapest thing out there. Not the most expensive, either.
edit: HOLY FUCK! Navy Domis are 400mil ISK in Jita! I don't remember them being THAT expensive in the past. Holy shit!
I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to buy a Navy Geddon now? Prices (if they haven't already) are probably going to go up since they're taking away the laser platform from T1.
Not sure if this belongs in this thread, but I'm going to give Dust 514 a go. I know almost nothing about it, but I like the idea of being able to (possibly/somehow) communicate with ship-flying dudes.
Navy BS will naturally spike as market manipulation before the changes gathers pace, so will normal BS, it's a natural state of things but the navy BS do look very good

They're turning it into a full out drone boat with neut range bonus.
This is a fun one. Bet you guys didn't think my first two projects would be to slow down the Talos and throw the old Armageddon out the window! But! I think its the best thing for the race line overall. What we've done here is make the Armageddon an echo to the new dragoon destroyer. It makes sense for Amarr to have a battleship variation that rewards players who've trained for dragoon -> arbitrator -> prophecy, and with the neut range bonus, the Armageddon should be a huge payoff. As the Armageddon is falling under 'combat' it will receive a substantial hitpoint boost, sensor strength boost, sig increase, and speed decrease.
While we understand that this is a very powerful ship, it should not be oppressive. Hopefully it will offer a new type of challenge to fly and fly against. To anyone who is very sad to see the old Armageddon go, I encourage to you consider that if left the same, it would have been even more crowded by the Abaddon as a result of the price adjustment than it already was. Again, we look forward to your feedback.
Amarr Battleship Skill Bonuses:
+10% to Drone damage and Hit Points (replaced large energy turret rate of fire)

So its basically a Domi that uses missiles?
It can use whatever you like. Gets no high slot bonuses, so no one is pigeonholed into using missiles. Personally, I'll be fitting it full of neuts in the highs and letting sentries/heavies do the damage. Should be a great small gang ship.
I see alot of Cruise Missles with Neuts on the New Geddon.
2 Neuts / 5 Large projectile Turrets
Lows full of tank.
But can the cap handle it?
It looks like I won't be using my new, improved, super navy domi anytime soon. Too expensive. I'll need to do a lot more ratting to afford it without a big problem, and it won't necessarily be worth it that much until after the new expansion comes out. (Well, except for an extra mid. What would I do with the extra mid, anyway? An extra cap recharger and make the rigs drone bonuses?)
Wow, the updated geddon sure makes me think of an old-school Killdozer Dominix.
Warped in on a plex at lunch and I have no idea what it is.
After the warp gate, I landed in space with a giant bubble below me (I think it has the next warp gate in it. 12 or so BS and about 10 Cruisers. There were some structures above me as well. I had to come back to work, so I left my ishtar orbiting the beacon with a BS shooting it. Guess I need to figure out what I'm killing when I come home.
Edit: looks like it is a guritas military complex and might drop a-type and DG loot. CCP's PVE content is so strange and soul-less.
Wow, the updated geddon sure makes me think of an old-school Killdozer Dominix.
Sadly, It is now a more efficient killdozer than the Domi. I was about to say than the Domi ever was, but before they nerf'd NOS the Domi was a beast.
I think a geddon might make a very successful jump beacon stalker, now:
get 2-3 on a perch 180km or so away, cloak up, wait for a JF to jump in, warp to the beacon, neut/point JF and put T2 heavies on it while shooting missiles.
Could fit like this, I think
2-3 Heavy Neuts
Heavy/Cruise Launchers
1 point
Cap Recharger
Giant buffer tank
2xEANM, DCU II, 2 Plates, Regen Plating
Rigs: Trimarks
Hell, 1 might be able to live long enough against tower guns to get the job done.
I played with the Navy Domi fit on EFT a bit last night. T2 350mm Rails and a tracking computer would increase the dps and range nicely. I can't figure out what else to put in the middle slot other than a tracking computer. It reduces the cap to 10-15 minutes or so, but that's not too bad. Without the tracking computer, I'm pretty cap stable. I just don't know what I could put in the extra mid besides a tracking computer. (a forth omni probably wouldn't help much, and a third cap recharger wouldn't either)
Right now, my meta4 350mm rails do 30% of my damage. I like them.
Sensor boost with targeting range script?
Epsilon packed up its stuff and moved to delve yesterday. woot.
We put all our things in one dude's carrier and set up the cyno chain. I briefly considered bringing the aeon, but it's lower jump range meant more headaches moving it around.
And so the goon invasion of Delve (part 18) begins!
And so the goon invasion of Delve (part 18) begins!
I can only hope goons will go shooting BoB Mk13 again. Their coalition now that it broke with TEST will likely be in a bit of the shit.

There's really no reason to neut out a JF that just jumped in, it won't be able to jump back out before you can point it anyway. Even with good implants they take (assuming they made only 1 previous jump and so jump in at ~30% cap) ~45s to regen enough to jump again. Your bigger worry (and the reason you're unlikely to see BS used for this purpose) is that JF's align in ~25 seconds (less with implants), so by the time a cloaked BS gets up to speed, warps down and points the JF it's even money that the JF has warped out already. At the very least you'll also need to sacrifice a dictor or another light tackler (bomber) to initially snag the JF. It's much more common to see a SC or even a solo dread used for JF killing, either one is an excellent choice, the SC being ewar immune and the dread is immune while it's in siege so (assuming A- bubbler doesn't come in 5 minutes, B- the tower doesn't have more than 1 neut on it and C- you fit for tank and cap regen) you'll be able to jump clear before the POS points/any subcaps point you. The one nice thing about JF hunting is that they're almost never bait, JF's are just too expensive to suicide and there's literally no way to save them from either one of these ships, they don't have enough HP in shield or armor to not be alpha'd to death no matter what amount of rep they receive. Even if you get killed too, you're guaranteed the JF kill as well. Just don't fall into a pattern, if you get a kill somewhere GO SOMEWHERE ELSE for a good long time. Supercarriers that do the same things over and over die in bright expensive fires.
Then there's also the problem of having multiple neuts in local but honestly any JF pilot that jumps a JF to a static beacon in the first place is unequivocally an idiot and they deserve exactly what happens to them. Undock cynos are the only thing I have ever jumped my JF's to (except for some unique circumstances during the invasion of Fountain ) and they're both several years old, happily alive and planning to stay that way .
^^good point.
Interestingly enough, there was a nyx doing exactly what you described to goon JFs in VFK for a few weeks running back in April. It owned so much.
I jump JF's to (scouted) static beacons (in systems that only have my scout in them) all the time.
So, Goons are invading Delve and trying to blow up TEST now?

it's not really an invasion, we're just basing out of npc stations to fuck with TEST
What is WolfPackin, exactly? Just putting groups together to go look for targets?
I was told that this was all just to fuck around with RAIDEN, but... that the underlying current was to fuck up TEST.
I seriously doubt Goons or the CFC actually wants Delve. Sov is expensive. But taking someone else's sov is significantly less expensive.
Wolfpackin means I'm gonna tackle everything I can see find and hope I get some help killing it.
Nobody seems to want to go to querious
NotContinuum wrote:

It's a mocking term from a long time ago when goonswarm was slowly evicting some shitty alliance or another out of their space (LV maybe, I don't remember). Upon losing the space they declared that they'd never leave, basing "wolfpacks" out of lowsec and continually raiding what was now goon space. As with most alliances they quickly found out that working as a corporation or alliance of any size out of lowsec was a huge pain in the ass- remember that jump freighters didn't exist then, and capitals were very few and far between, so any sort of logistics meant huge freighter escort ops that made people want to throw their computers out of windows.
now its basically a term for small gang warfare without any real intent to take or hold space
After 1-S tonight I can say I am perfectly happy with everyone in EVE bringing fights to our doorstep.
I don't know if it will still be OUR doorstep after a few weeks of this but it's nice for now at least!

All I get out of that Eve-kill like is that it was a proper mess, but what are we looking at? I can't tell who is fighting who or who are allies with who.
It sounded like that fight was a 6-way train-pulling hole-fisting extravaganza. I'm glad people had fun.
Why do people seem to like Amarr so much? Especially the Archon and Avatar?
Because they are the best.
Fidel Cashflow wrote:

That's not a very good explanation, dude.
Mainly it's the strength of the resist bonus. That makes s big difference in EHP. The avatar owns because no ammo. Also, the Archon is even stronger in PvE with the resists, so a lot of people go for it. That said, the Erebus is the most popular Titan by far, and I'd imagine there are a lot more Nyx(ii) than other Supercarriers as well.
Speaking personally, I looooove my Aeon a lot more than my Nyx.
On the whole, it's probably Gallente > Amarr > Caldari > Minmatar for supercapitals.
I'm having some weird red-teal tinted 3d areas issues with the latest NVidia drivers. It's annoying. It's like there is a red to teal gradient overlaid on top of the entire non-HUD section of the game.
If, big if, TEST and Goons are done playing nice forever, until SOV mechanics change I seriously doubt many peeps would want to play the SBU game to take space. Bore them to death with SBU or knocking POS's down to nothing.
I'm going to see if I can't get a group of people to help me SBU most of Querious one morning.
Test and Goons still have their NAP for OTEC in place, which means no shooting structures. Everything else is fair game.
No shooting TEST structures.

Cashew Shrimp
I love it that the Chinese restaurants in the US offer special lunch menu. For about $5-$7, you get a complete meal of an entree, rice, and a bowl of soup. Some days when I am too lazy to make lunch, or when I don't have lunch dates with my friends, I always find myself at a Chinese restaurant, getting my fix of cheap and filling Chinese food.
Recently, I have been going to be a Chinese restaurant close to my house. I have tried many dishes on their special lunch menu, but I am hooked on their cashew shrimp—a simple shrimp stir-fry with cashew nuts (my favorite nut), snow peas, carrots, and canned straw mushrooms. I am probably biased as I love both shrimp and cashew nuts, but I thought their version of cashew shrimp has "wok hei" (breath of wok), with juicy and bouncy shrimp, and the sauce is the epitome of Cantonese cooking—light, savory, and just coats the shrimp and ingredients. I love it.
So today, I decided to attempt it at home. I tried to replicate the same taste, with slightly less oil. The end result was this beautiful, delicious, and pleasing cashew shrimp recipe that goes so well with steamed white rice. This is great for a small family of 2-3 people, served with other dishes.
When it comes to shrimp, I usually get my shrimp at Asian supermarkets, because they are available at an average of $5 – $6 per pound, depending on the size of the shrimp, and whether or not they are shelled. This is cheap as the price can be easily double at regular stores, such as Whole Foods. Shrimp is very tasty and your family can enjoy shrimp more often if you know where to get the cheapest shrimp. Try this cashew shrimp recipe and I am sure everyone would really enjoy it.

That is one of the most beautiful bowl of cashew shrimp I've seen. I would probably have a second serving of it. Looks delicious. Thank you.
Someone just told me of your blog and also "Cooking With Mr. C." on Facebook, also a blog. I just "Liked" his Facebook page and came to your blog. It looks good. Denise
I love your site! Do you have a good Thai Yellow curry recipe? If you do can you please put on your site. Thank you very much.
I haven't see a cashew shrimp
More appetizing and prettier than this. Looks delish!!
This looks fantastic. I like cashews and ginger.. I think I will enjoy this.
Thanks for this recipe. I'll be trying this one soon.
how do you make the shrimp tender and not chewy.
Hi, I am new to your website. I love the simple and easy to follow recipes. I am diabetic and would like the carb and sugar counts on the Egg Foo Young and Fried Rice dishes. Thanks

Vermont's farms have a proud heritage of hospitality to our visitors. It all started in the 1800's when a traveler found himself at the end of a long day in a town without a hotel. We can only imagine that someone suggested he try the home of a local farmer, who offered the visitor a bed for the night. The next morning, the visitor awoke to a hearty farm breakfast and, voila, the Vermont bed and breakfast industry was born.
In those days, most Vermont towns were farming communities. Life revolved around the change of the seasons and farm work that accompanied them. And while a farmer's work day typically stretched 16 hours or longer, there was always time for "visiting." Today there are fewer farms but the families on them work just as hard and are just as hospitable.
Vermont's farms have continued to open their doors to visitors for over 100 years.Your farm stay may include comfortable accommodations in a centuries-old farmhouse, followed by a big family-style breakfast of pancakes, home-grown hash browned potatoes and farm-fresh scrambled eggs. Afterward, you might be invited to help with the chores, giving you an opportunity to milk a cow or tend to the sheep. Or you might choose to pick your own apples or strawberries. In every event, you'll also be treated to some of the most beautiful scenery and friendly faces on the planet.
For a list of farms that take guests, visit www.vtfarms.org.

Abreu was named the American League's Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month for July on Monday -- awards he's already won multiple times this season.
It's the second time the Cuban-born 27-year-old has won the AL's player of the month designation, his third monthly AL rookie honor and is the second time he's won both for the same month of work.
"It's not surprising," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said Monday, prior to Abreu going 2-for-3 with two RBIs in the White Sox's 5-3 win in a rain-shortened game against the Texas Rangers. "You're happy for him. He's had a great month and he gets rewarded for it. The kind of teammate he is makes it better. Guys are happy for him."
According to the White Sox, Abreu is the first rookie in major league history to win a league's player of the month honor twice. He hit .374 with 11 doubles, six home runs and 19 RBIs in July with a .432 on-base percentage and a .667 slugging percentage (1.099 OPS). He also hit safely in 24 of 25 games, with parts of two long hitting streaks included in those games.
"I don't really like to talk about myself a lot but I am surprised," said Abreu, who just had a career-high hitting streak stopped at 21 games this past weekend. "I wasn't expecting to have all this success and definitely all these awards. But, you know, I am very thankful to God that happened. I just continue to go about my day the same way and continue to work on my routines."
During the month of July, Abreu also raised his batting average to the .300 plateau from the .270s. Following the game Monday, he's hitting .300 and still leads the AL with 31 home runs.
"Every day I feel more comfortable, and I'm able to concentrate a lot better," Abreu said. "(That) allows me to continue to compete for the team, which is what we're here for."
Abreu said he watches video of himself from the previous game every morning, along with video of the starting pitcher he's likely to face that day. The work off the field has helped quite a bit, but Abreu's advanced approach and raw talent have taken most of baseball by surprise.
"I don't know that anyone really envisions this," Ventura said. "When you saw and heard the ball coming off his bat (in spring training), you (understood) his power and things like that. You probably allowed for a little more inconsistency going through your first year of seeing pitchers and knowing the type of pitchers you'll see every day are pretty dang good. You don't really envision the numbers you're seeing, but once you see him, it can make sense."

PIPEX 2008 is at Seattle Center, on the site of the 1962 Seattle
World's Fair. Although it was held 46 years ago, many buildings from
the fair— including the Space Needle— still exist and are reminders of
this event. Many of us attending PIPEX are probably old enough to re-member—
and may have attended— this fair.
It is safe to say that none of us are old enough to remember Seattle's
first world's fair in 1909. Next year marks the centennial of this fair, the
Alaska- Yukon- Pacific Exposition ( AYP), which celebrated Seattle's
ties to Alaska and the Canadian Yukon, developed during the 1897- 98
Alaska Gold Rush, when Seattle prospered as a source of supply and
transport for miners. The exposition also celebrated the city's ambitions
as a port with connections throughout the Pacific region.
The exposition was held from June 1 to October 16, 1909, with
buildings spread over today's University of Washington campus. Some
of these buildings still survive as a permanent part of the campus.
A two- cent red commemorative was issued to celebrate the fair. It
pictures William H. Seward, the US Secretary of State who negotiated
the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867.
The stamp came in two types, a perforated 12 version issued on
opening day, and an imperforated version issued 12 days later on June
13. The imperforate version was issued to allow private companies to
apply their own coil perforations for use in vending machines.
1909- 2009
Alaska- Yukon- Pacific Exposition
PIPEX 2008 Page 19
Several different cancellations celebrated the fair. The above ma-chine
cancel was used during 1908- 09 to advertise the fair. It was pro-duced
by the International Postal Supply Company, who created similar
cancels to advertise the 1904 St. Louis, 1905 Portland, and 1915 San
Francisco world's fairs.
The " 1" in the Seattle cancel identifies the number of the machine. It
is fairly common, although a nice item when used on an AYP com-memorative.
The less common " EXPOSITION STATION" machine cancel is
shown above. It was used throughout the fair at the exposition post of-fice.
This is also an International cancel, similar in type to cancels used
in many US cities during the 1900- 20 period. The " D" in the cancel was
designed to identify the source of mail: " D" for mail deposited at a post
A rare American Postal Machines Company flag cancel was also
used at the fair. Sample impressions on unstamped cards were given to
visitors. Only two properly used examples are known, both dated June
23, 1909; one reportedly sold at auction for $ 9,000 in 2002.
Many different AYP postcards were also issued by private compa-nies,
advertising the fair and showing the many different buildings on
the grounds.

my understanding is that the wordprocessor is the youngest part of the suite. It's one of the few parts that date after the KOffice split. I have been doing a bit of editing with it and so far I am happy. Krita 2.6 is awesome and well worth the update
Where is it?
Last time I used Calligra it had some option for autocheck.
It's like Microsoft/Apple trying to sell you Maps when Googles are far superior.
As for the rest of Calligra, I've no idea, LibreOffice has always worked fine for me.
But really, I don't see any need for photoshop, except for a very few niche applications that still can't be done with free software (I think there was some stuff having to do with photography and raw processing, but I'm not sure). Krita also saves in PSD now, so that's one less roadblock for linux artists.
Krita's brush system really is awesome, there just isn't anything comparable. I only wish they'd remove that damn sketch brush, because it keeps me from doing anything productive, wasting all my time just playing with the endless possibilities of it....

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, I suppose it resembles a friendship more than an affair.
▇ ▇▇ ▇▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇▇ ▇ ▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇ ▇▇
Dinner hadn't always been such an awkward occasion in the Slater house. It used to be that the family would come home from school and work and sit around a wonderfully prepared huge meal and just talk for an hour or so before going about their business. Since Jeff had finished middle school, however, and had been told about his betrothal, things took a strange turn at dinner time.
It had been dinner time when the news was broken to himself and his long time friend Miranda by their parents. Now the rather formal traditional dinners his mother was so fond of had become stiff, pointedly polite affairs.
At least the food was still good.
As it was, Jeffery was sitting next to his younger brother Thomas, picking at the beautiful beef roast, potatoes and salad he'd fixed for himself, sipping at his wine, and wondering when the hell someone was going to ask to be excused so that they could go their separate ways and he could get to that party. Biggest party of the year, the NuAlpha party, and he hadn't missed one since he'd managed to snag an invite in his freshman year by passing off answers to the pre-winter break history exam to a higher up NA member. There was always lots of alcohol, good music, and practical jokes galore. The very best kind of party.
Down at their end of the table, Mr. and Mrs. Slater were having a discussion about a lawsuit that Mr. Slater was trying at the moment, and so absorbed in their talk were they, they barely paid any attention to the younger adults at the other end of the table. That was giving Thomas an opportunity to text God knows who under cover of the table cloth., and Jeff was already on his third glass of wine. Normally, he would have stopped at two, but since he was probably going to end up drunk before the night was over, he didn't figure one more glass would matter in the long run.
He glanced up at Miranda for a split second, watching her toy with the food on her plate, before turning to face his parents' direction. "May I be excused, Mom? I have a thesis due when we go back to classes, and I'd rather have it done sometime this year." he said, his husky voice practically flat with boredom. Thomas rolled his eyes and stifled a snicker behind a bit lip, but said nothing as he prepared to bolt from the table as well.
Mrs. Slater studied her oldest son for a second, seeming to consider the possible merit of letting him stay at the table just to keep him in her sight for a few more moments, before nodding. "I guess it's alright, darling. Goodnight." she said. The two Slater sons stood, gave their parents nods that resembled bows, and made their exits; Thomas giving Miranda a bright grin before turning his attention back to his phone, and Jeffery giving his fiancee a curt nod before stalking out of the room as was his usual exit.
"Miranda, dear, you can leave whenever you like. We wouldn't want to keep you from your schoolwork as well." said Mr. Slater, nodding at his future daughter-in-law.
