In our first conversation, Charlene the editor she asked me something about iPhones and the conversation went
Me: I wouldn't know; I use a Windows Phone
Charlene: Oh, I'm sorry
So many ways to go with that… but suffice to say that from my perspective it proves how much more convincing a distortion field can be than reality. I'm in no way impugning Charlene– she's definitely sharp or I wouldn't have started following her in the first place. But Apple and others have done a spectacular job at misinforming even the discerning public.
Microsoft is included in that others category. Continue reading »
Last year it was thrilling enough that we even had this sort of event in Fort Worth; everyone in tech in DFW knows Addison, Irving, Frisco, Plano, Richardson and North Dallas are where you go for software and related events. It's a circle of cities that has held tightly to this honor for years, and facilitated a self-fulfilling situation. Developers go because that's where the events are, and the events are held there because developers go. Breaking into that cycle, even for a single occasion, was special in and of itself. Continue reading »
I've been working with various developer communities for several years, and there's a common question I encounter regardless of the platform:
Q: "What should I work on?"
This isn't always easy to answer specifically, because a great deal depends on the skills and interests of the person asking. But there is an easy general response:
A: "Solve a problem for yourself."
I've found that the developers not asking that question tend to do exactly that. They have a need, see no available solution, and jump right into solving it for themselves. Often enough, that tends to work for others as well. Continue reading »
2013 Year-end Windows Phone Developer Community Report (My Regions)
Greetings all! It's time to dive back into Windows Phone developer community land. In this post I'll be sharing the good and not-so-good news for WP development in my region, which is physically centered in the Dallas-Fort Worth area but also includes Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska and South Dakota. I'll summarize the year and share some ongoing/upcoming stuff too. Continue reading »
I've urged the Windows Developers in my outreach areas to enter their apps into Microsoft's Tech Affiliate Sweepstakes on numerous occasions… but I haven't really gone into just what that is.
The contest of course rewards a few randomly-selected developers and their community leaders each month for app submissions. There's a lot more to Tech Affiliate, however, than monthly cash prizes. Continue reading »
I've just recently gotten serious about learning XAML for Windows Phone development, and it's been a real rollercoaster. Hours of bad-document-reading, tutorial-deciphering and hair-pulling punctuated by brief bursts of accidental success. My wife has learned to ignore my cursing but my poor dog Peanut still runs under a corner desk when some seemingly innocent code breaks.
Part of the problem for myself (and others, based on threads on MSDN and stackoverflow) is that documentation is woefully incomplete. Too many examples telling you WHAT needs to be done but annoyingly omitting critical HOWs. Too many segments of potentially useful code lacking the necessary prerequisite references to run.
But I digress. And if you just want to avoid further background and skip to the solution, scroll down.
I'm working on a C# Windows Phone geolocation app designed to route an email recipient to a person in need. One of my goals as always is to craft the best user interface for the solution. For touch devices, that often means stripping out conventional interface objects like buttons because they tend to occupy a layer between the user and what he or she wants to do. In this case, I want the app's Map object to be the center of attention, and most if not all user interaction to take place on or around it. As is my norm, I dose this work with lots of context sensitivity.
I began with PNG objects like those shown in this post. I got that working fine eventually; tap on the graphic, and a context menu of several options pops up. Select one, and the graphic updates to reflect the user's purpose.
But as I began the task of replacing Application Bar buttons with more Map-centric interaction objects, I began thinking that bitmap graphics were too low fidelity. If I went with vectors, and added more Map layers, I could truly orient the user better and improve engagement. The Map itself could host most of the UI.
It's easy enough to add polygonal objects to XAML. Many of the Windows Phone content objects can host them. But once you get beyond simple shapes, editing can be a pain. One quickly misses Adobe Illustrator.
I found a really sweet XAML export plugin for Illustrator, but the creator has been unable to update it past CS4. I'm using Creative Cloud, and older plugins no longer function [edit: as one reader pointed out in comments, Microsoft's Blend can import AI files. Part of my purpose here was to identify a completely free solution. For many uses, Inkscape works fine]. I discovered that the free vector editor Inkscape supports XAML export, so it was a no-brainer to bring my AI graphics into it and export. Below is an SVG file of my Map Pushpin object:
`<?xml version="1.0″ encoding="utf-8″?>

I next exported that to XAML, getting:

Other than redundant schema info and unknown tags, it looked okay. I cut out the portion I needed (Canvas tag content) and plopped it into a XAML MapOverlay in my project. Visual Studio immediately complained:
TypeConverter for "PathFigureCollection" does not support converting from a string
The offending bit was the Figures object. Time to Bing for an explanation… but while I found many examples of people encountering the error, there were no useful solutions. Some mentioned Kaxaml, which I downloaded. While it's a very helpful tool for visualizing and troubleshooting XAML, it didn't see any problems with my code and offered no way that I could see to refactor what I had into something Visual Studio would like.
The Solution
But reading more about the PathGeometry object tickled a few brain cells. I found a Path example that looked like it would work for what I wanted. So I changed the essential code to what follows (key portion in bold):
`<Canvas Name="Layer_1″ Width="28.263″ Height="72.538″><Canvas.RenderTransform><TranslateTransform X="210″ Y="300″/></Canvas.RenderTransform><Ellipse Canvas.Left="7.1″ Canvas.Top="0″ Width="14.1″ Height="14.1″ Name="circle3405″ Fill="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}" Opacity="0.8″/><Path Name="path3407″ Fill="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}" Data="M14.132 16.012C6.327 16.012 0 22.339 0 30.143v0v42.395l28.263-28.263V30.143 C28.263 22.339 21.936 16.012 14.132 16.012z M22.332 44.275h-3.956v-8.347H9.814v8.347H5.872V23.784h3.942v8.076h8.562v-8.076 h3.956V44.275z" Opacity="0.8″ /></Canvas>`
Success! In a nutshell, the trick was to remove the PathGeometry and use the Figures string as Path Data…. which just makes sense. My custom Pushpin rendered exactly as it should, and looked much sharper than the PNG bitmap. Now to construct other UI elements, add Map layers, and wire up the events. I'll post more later, and will provide the full code on app release.
Hope you find this technique useful!
I'm behind on publishing some content but an opportunity has come up that trumps just about everything else. Except beer and pizza. First the background.
Many of you know that for several years now I've been supporting creative communities, both on and offline. If I really want to date myself then this activity goes back further than I'll usually admit, to a stint as a writing forum moderator in the heyday of America Online. Don't judge: it meant free dial-up.
As you can see on LinkedIn, my more recent history has gone from Maemo to MeeGo to Windows Phone plus local Makers. An interesting mix of communities that has helped me understand myriad arguments for and against various platforms and preferences, as well as learn to socialize with creative types from all walks of life. This understanding has pushed my thinking above and away from the sort of religious dogma that can cripple a project, and in turn helped me (I think) be a really good all-around community leader. And even as I've helped Nokia's efforts to pull in Windows Phone developers, I've kept a watchful eye on Jolla and kept fairly current with Qt developments. I even assisted Tuukka Ahoniemi with Qt outreach in Dallas (although other activities got in the way, something I would fix if I got this role).
Which leads me back to the opportunity.
Against all odds, I will be interviewing with Digia soon for an Online Community Manager position. Exciting! I think I'm the ideal candidate, and so do a few others who have already spoken on my behalf. But landing this position will take some serious effort: they really want someone situated in Norway, Finland or Berlin. I have to prove that I can do even better than someone in close proximity.
Now, I've done the remote working thing both voluntarily for the aforementioned communities and professionally for Nokia. I know I can perform this role with the same success. Heck, I've always said I can work from Antarctica as long as I had Internet. I just need to convince Digia.
To that end, I'm looking to the communities I serve for advice. What should I emphasize? In what areas do I still require polish? Feel free to add comments here. Be critical if you feel led. Or contact me privately, too.
I had a similar opportunity with Scarlet Motors at one point, and touched on that in an article about keeping a childlike aspect in communities, but unfortunately they lacked the means at the time to make it a paid position. The Digia role will be full time, and involves work I love and have been preparing for. I relish the opportunity to take lessons learned from other communities and see where it will support Qt's desire for broader adoption.
I really, really want this job. Your feedback will help, and perhaps so will lobbying Digia. Make sure to hit Qt Project and Qt by Digia on twitter, as well as their Facebook page. After all, a good online community manager should mobilize Internet citizens, right?
Nokia Developer North Texas Outreach – Upcoming 2013 Opportunities
In the last community update I included one upcoming hackathon and omitted some promotions. Time to rectify the latter and expand on the former!
General Promotions
Unity has a new contest going for Windows platforms. Big prizes involved! From their website:
Unity and Microsoft are inviting Unity developers to enter a new contest by submitting beautifully crafted, high-quality new or existing games or content for the upcoming Windows Store Apps and Windows Phone 8 platforms. Over $100,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded to a number of talented and lucky winners.
Deadline is September 30, 2013. Get your game on now!
In addition, Microsoft has created a program slightly similar in goals to Nokia's DVLUP, called App Builder Rewards. Might as well double-dip!
Finally, I missed that Microsoft Tech Affiliate had restarted the great APPortunity sweepstakes. Submit your apps for August ASAP.

Hope to see some of you at one or more of these events! Again, send me any I may have missed.
Greetings all,
I've decided it makes much more sense to do all updates on this blog and email the link rather than send it all via email. That way the content gets greater exposure and you have shorter emails.
Now onto business… topics are:
- Nokia Promotions
- Lumia 800s
- General
- Dallas-Fort Worth
- Meetups
- Hackathons
Nokia Promotions
I was about to launch a Windows Phone promotion tied to my local Civic hacking activities, but another need has come up and I'll focus on that first.
The Nokia Developer Ambassadors are working hard to make sure we're serving you in the best way possible. That means having the most recent contact and program data for you. I've already spoken with some of you individually, and others have responded to Rich Dunbar's appeals, but consider this a broadcast to my community:
I'm doing a simple drawing and giving away some cool Nokia prizes for those meeting the criteria below. You can win JBL Power Up Speakers, Wireless Charging Plate, or Nokia Purity Headset with Monster technology.
All you need to do is the following:
- Live in North Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska or South Dakota (see NOTE below if you live in USA or Canada but not in my region)
- Have a published Windows Phone app
- Send me the following (via email or blog comments) by midnight July 31, CST:
- Full Name
- Email address
- Microsoft Dev Center name (not GUID)
- DVLUP name (register ASAP if you're not!)
- City/State
- Twitter name if you have one (not required)
If you're out of my area, see http://richarddunbar.blogspot.com/2013/07/developer-registration-drive.html.
Note that I'll launch the Civic Hacking promotion soon after this and will post a special announcement for it.
As for others that had been running, I'm sorry to say that the Microsoft Windows Phone Keep the Cash and APPortunity promotions have ended. At this time I have no idea if anything else is coming from Microsoft (or other sponsors), but I will let you know once I do.
Lumia 800s
I'm happy to announce I'm almost out of Lumia 800s for app incentives. Why happy? This means you've all been busy!
But if you have not yet released a Windows Phone 7 or 8 app, make sure you get published ASAP to qualify for one of the remaining phones! People tell me they make excellent reserve and test devices.
Many of you have already registered for the Mailchimp email list, and I appreciate it. But I'm wondering now if it's even necessary. Since I'll be using this blog more, maybe it makes sense to fully use its subscription and group communications abilities. What do you think? Let me know in comments.
Oh, and to get a view into what we Ambassadors do at big events, check out my recent write-up on //build/ 2013.
Finally, please share this article and related info about Nokia's outreach to anyone you feel may be interested. I am especially looking to connect with more schools in the DFW area.
Dallas – Fort Worth
I'm still planning to put together DVLUP-specific meetups for the DFW area, called DVLUP Days. The idea will be to get developers through a DVLUP challenge and an app ready for publishing in one day (if possible). Should be fun! Make sure you're registered– if not, you're missing out on benefits!
I'm also working on a Mobile Monday WP App Showcase for DFW, with some local powerhouse development firms. I'm looking for developers to submit one of their apps for consideration. If you're selected, you'll be presenting your app at an upcoming event. The goal will be to get you more downloads, reviews and notice. I will also do a special twitter push for the apps selected. So start submitting! Use email or this comments section.
Finally, we need to hold more general meetups as well. I haven't seen any scheduled recently by corporate or community leaders so I'll be filling the gap as I can.
This fall is going to be busy in DFW! The University of North Texas is planning three hackathons (September, October and November). No details yet, but I'll post when I have them!
There's also the 20Over20 hackathon coming in a couple of months, running from September 19 through September 22. It looks very interesting so far; check it out.
As for the planned Nokiathon, that's still under discussion. I'm excited at the possibility and hope to be able to schedule mine before too long.
That's it!
Thanks everyone, and as always: call, tweet or email me at any time with any question, concern or proposal. I will do my best to address your needs promptly!

This product has been awarded an overall rating of from 144 customer reviews.
The easy way to help protect your loved ones or cover an interest-only mortgage. It pays out a guaranteed lump sum if you die during the term of the plan.
Benefits for you
- It's simple — get a quote under 2 minutes
- Monthly premiums are guaranteed never to rise
- Premiums start from £5 a month, depending on your personal circumstances
- Joint cover available for you and your partner
- Easy to arrange – no complicated forms to fill in
- Please bear in mind that there is no cash-in value at any time.
- Aviva's Life Insurance has been awarded a 5 Star Rating by Defaqto in the Direct category
How does Level Life Insurance work?
A Level Life Insurance plan gives you an amount of cover that stays the same throughout the plan. If you die within the plan term, your loved ones will receive a guaranteed lump sum of money.
Your choice of cover
You could get any amount of life cover up to £500,000, depending on factors such as your age when you take out the plan. You can choose how long you want the cover to last. Many people choose to have their cover for a period that coincides with when they expect their mortgage to be paid off or when they expect their children to become financially independent.
Premiums that are affordable and guaranteed
With premiums from only £5 a month, protecting your loved ones could cost less than you think — although the actual cost depends on the amount and length of cover chosen, as well as your personal circumstances. And we guarantee that your monthly premiums will stay the same for the duration of the plan.
Cover that includes extra benefits
With Aviva you get Terminal Illness Benefit included in the cover. This means we pay you the sum insured if you're diagnosed with a terminal illness within the plan term and are not expected to live for more than 12 months. If we pay out after a terminal illness claim, your plan will end.
Critical illness cover is not available with Level Life Insurance; however you can choose to take out an alternative plan offered by Aviva, which combines life cover with critical illness cover.
Terminal Illness is not the same as Critical Illness Cover. Critical illness cover pays out a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a critical illness that meets our policy definition and then survive for at least 14 days. We only cover the critical illnesses we define in our policy and no others.
Insurance from a name you can trust
Aviva is one of the UK's leading providers of life and pensions products, which serves around 34 million customers worldwide.

Video transcript
For lots of us, life insurance is an important way of helping protect the things we love and value. So before you give us a call to discuss it, just ask yourself 3 simple questions.
Question 1 – What do I need to protect?
You may have a partner, or children, a mortgage, or other outstanding loans, or a combination of all of these.
Question 2 – How much cover do I need?
If you have a mortgage how much is outstanding? And if you weren't there to provide for your family, how much would they need to maintain their lifestyle? Take into account your income and outgoings, such as your mortgage and utility bills, childcare costs and perhaps the odd holiday. You'll be surprised how it all adds up.
And finally question 3 – How long do I need life cover for?
Think about how long is left on your mortgage, how long your children will be financially dependent on you, and how old your partner will be when they are likely to retire.
That's it, all pretty simple stuff
What do I need to protect?
How much life cover do I need?
And how long do I need it for?
And now you're ready to get a quote, which is easy too.

Easy to order online
Wanted to organise some life insurance in case something happens! Wanted my husband to be able to have cash to be with my kids. This policy was simple, decent payment, for a decent payout. It was good because I completed online questionnaire and 25 mins later I had my policy, and hopefully I will live for another 40 years, but my family are covered just in case!
I would recommend Aviva to a friend

Disappointed gave this product an overall rating of
Easy to purchase but...
Not the cheapest insurance on the market but it's a 5 star company and it was relatively easy and fast to finalise. The fact I was disappointed about is that my wife is pregnant and her quote went up by £5 once she put that her pregnancy was kind of complicated. Nothing to worry about according to the doctors but if you call Aviva to explain you can't claim the bonus they are promising. I felt like she has been discriminated and I wished I didn't make my cover with them. At the end there are other companies better value for money and who you can talk to before the purchase without missing out on a gift.

Hi there I'm so sorry to hear about the price increase on your wife's policy. I appreciate how you must be frustrated by this, especially if the doctors advised she would be absolutely fine. I'm afraid there's unlikely to be anything we can do to change this; however I've passed your review onto our Life insurance team and asked them to contact you to discuss this further and to provide clarification as to why this has happened. I hope this helps and thanks for leaving your review, we appreciate you letting us know how we are doing.
Kind Regards, Stephanie

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Volleyball squad hits the court for a good cause
Coach Jeff Hunter told his volleyball players at Charleswood School he wanted them to learn what it means to give back, and the result was a rousing success.
The Grade 8 Spikers girls' team decided to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research and treatment at their games on Oct. 29.
The team wore special pink shirts during back-to-back contests against Van Walleghem School and River West Park School, and all donations made at the door were given to CancerCare Manitoba.
The players decided to pay extra for the jerseys, raising $100 before a single donation was made at the door, and the school's cheer squad held a bake sale to bolster the amount raised.
Team captains Sydney Michalyshen and Darby Goodall helped Hunter with the planning.
"We thought that playing volleyball to raise money was a good idea, since that's what we all love to do," said Michalyshen, a Charleswood resident. "It's gone pretty good. We've got a few people out here to watch, and we're playing well."
Goodall, who also lives in Charleswood, said the players decided breast cancer was the cause they wanted to direct their attention towards because everyone has been touched by the disease.
"We're all girls, so it has something to do with us," she said. "People on the team know people who have had it, so we thought it was a good fundraiser to choose."
She added that the event would be successful no matter how much was raised.
"We wanted to make at least $100," she said. "Any dollar we get counts."
It wasn't just the players on the team that got in on the action, Michalyshen said.
"We had lots of fundraising help this week from everyone at school," she said. "We had the bake sale, lots of posters were put up, and we all wore pink today."
Hunter said the planning started about a month ago, and the players learned a valuable lesson about charity.
"We have had some staff members whose mothers have undergone breast cancer treatment, so it seemed like a worthy cause for our school," he said.
Hunter was also pleased to welcome coach Diane Scott and left side Ozana Nikolic of the University of Winnipeg women's volleyball team, and Amanda Bakker, a Charleswood School alum and member of the full-time training centre for the national women's team.
The special guests took photos with the team and congratulated the players on their fundraising efforts.
"It's really exciting to have them here," Michalyshen said. "It's motivation to play our best."

The Angry Birds Trilogy was a bit of an oddity when it launched last year on Xbox 360, PS3, and 3DS. Bundling together three iOS titles that all sold for $1 each, and adding in some new content, HD graphics, and a control scheme based on its platform (Kinect, PS Move, touchscreen) along the way, the trilogy was sold for $40 on consoles and $30 on the 3DS.
As it turns out, that high price tag wasn't enough to deter potential buyers as Activision has announced that the Angry Birds Trilogy has crossed the 1 million sold threshold. To keep that sales ball rolling, this year will see both a Wii and Wii U release of the game, with the Wii U version likely taking full advantage of the GamePad for precise controls.
Petri Järvilehto, EVP of Games for Rovio, talked a little about this news:
"It was certainly satisfying to see Angry Birds gameplay adapt so well to other platforms in 2012. The features specific to the Wii U are very intriguing to us, so we're excited to release this version to fans."
|Feb 15 2013, 04:11 pm EST
Unlike ACDC, I actually kinda like Angry Birds.
|Feb 15 2013, 04:49 pm EST

You could have a severe leak of an axle seal. I would not continue to drive it, as the gear lube is escaping the rear axle, possibly creating a lack of lubrication for the rear differential. Also, the gear oil usually leaks over the rear brakes, causing stopping issues.

BERGEN -- GE Oil & Gas today announced it has been awarded a $147-million engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract from Statoil. Under the contract, GE will supply subsea production and injection equipment for Statoil's Snøhvit carbon dioxide (CO₂) injection project, designed to provide a robust CO₂solution.
The CO₂is naturally present in the reservoir, and is produced with natural gas at the field. The CO₂is separated from the gas onshore before it is pumped back to the reservoir via a dedicated pipeline. The new CO₂injection facilities have been designed to accommodate Statoil's need for additional injection capacity over the lifetime of the field.
For the project, GE will supply the company with a subsea system enabling both injection and production wells.
This delivery follows GE's previously provided subsea production system to Statoil for the company's initial production activities in the Snøhvit field.
Delivery of the equipment will take place during the second quarter of 2015. GE will manufacture the trees at its Aberdeen facility, and the control systems at the company's Nailsea, UK, facility. Meanwhile, the subsea template and manifold components will be built in Norway. GE will manage the EPC project from its Bristol, UK, offices.

Ive spent nearly an hour working, (trying to get the written tutorial for the Queen Anne's Lace to work.) without success. Your video is excellent and your work is beautiful so I MUST have the written word. Help! I've also tried the 2nd site. I keep getting switched over to the lovely cross bookmarker.
The main site works for most but I made a 2nd site that is plain html here is the link http://marykathrynspatterns.blogspot.com/2012/03/queen-anne-lace-scarf.html
That may be a very prretty scarf but the name is entirely misleading. That's difinitely NOT Queen Anne's Lace or anything like it. It's just big scallops. I'd have named it fan lace or something like that.
I cannot view the pattern when I click on "Click here for crochet pattern."
i have made 3 of these as christmas presents to send abroad, they're beautiful, there is a video on youtube of someone making this if people need to use that
I was able to view pattern when I used my IPad. Tried it am very pleased at the outcome. I used crochet cotton thread and made a bracelet. Thank you!
could not view pattern. Black screen is all I have. Please advise, it looks like a nice project
This scarf turned out gorgeous! I just started my second one as my mother in law loved the first one so much it's now hers!

We have been coming to Evian on a regular basis for some twenty years and if one is honest have never had a memorable meal except perhaps Verniez in the past.
The site of the Tibetan café was Danic's several years ago which was great fun and served a small but well cooked menu.
Normally we tend to eat in...
We were looking forward to coming back here but all in all was no where near what it used to be. Very very slow unfriendly service, the plat du jour looked different on every table, we waited for one of our mains for 5 minutes after the first 3 arrived, only to have to ask for cutlery. The food itself...
We come here every year for a reason. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing setting! The Menu Du Jour is fantastic and at 15 euros, you can't go wrong.
We have visited this restaurant many times and have never been disappointed. The food is always very tasty. Presentation matches substance. The staff are friendly and the surroundings are attractive inside or out.
Wonderful setting next to the lake on the new beautifully landscaped beach area but not matched I fear by a very mediocre meal. Our choice of small fried fish with garlic mayonnaise was not to put too fine a point on it, dismal - tasteless and accompanied by tasteless chips. The service was OK but as the restaurant filled up...
Was there with my family last week. Dont be fooled by its name or its interior decoration if you are looking for a great french resturant this is it. Dont think anything on the menu has anything to do with tibet but no matter. Food was great and they have a cook who loves to make great desserts and their...
My wife and I love going there for lunch and sit by the lake. The menu chnages regularly and is always very good value for money with a 3 courses meal and a drink. All is also of very good quality.
Enjoyed a perfectly satisfactory Plat de Jour meal here. The service was good and friendly. You are close to the lake on one side and a busy road on the other. Given more time on holiday, would have been happy to return.
We took the boat from Lausanne to Evian using our Swiss pass. We were looking for something to do and lunch sounded good so I typed in creme brulee and came up with a tripadvisor recommendation for this restaurant. We had to walk about a mile or so to reach it from where the boat let us out, but it...

TV Ratings: Steven Van Zandt's 'Lilyhammer' Kills in Season 2 Debut
BERLIN – Steven Van Zandt's mobster-out-of-water series Lilyhammer got off in killer style for its season-two premiere on Norwegian public broadcaster NRK. The show, which Netflix carries in the U.S., debuted to a 51.9 percent share of the 12-plus demographic in Norway, with one in five Norwegians tuning in.
While season two still features the same basic storyline -- Van Zandt is Frank "The Fixer," a New York mobster hiding out in the tiny Norwegian town of Lillehammer as part of the witness protection program -- producers Rubicon and Netflix have broadened the scope for the second season.
A new plotline has the British mob trying to muscle in on Frank's burgeoning crime operation, a twist that allows Lilyhammer the opportunity to pack season two with British guest stars, including Paul Kaye (Game of Thrones), Tony Pitts (Sherlock), Alan Ford (Snatch), Amy Beth Hayes (Doctor Who) and Amit Shah (The Infidel).
Germany-based Red Arrow International, which handles international sales for the series, has sold Lilyhammer to more than 150 territories worldwide.
You can check out the official season-two trailer for Lilyhammer below.

Many companies are searching for applicants with at least a Bachelor's degree in Behavioral Science, though a Master's degree is more preferable. Employers also commonly prefer those with at least a year of experience in behavior programming, or a similar role such as behavior intervention.Read More...
Some companies prefer applicants who are licensed by the Board of Certified Behavior Analysts, and those applicants should be able to renew the license as needed. The job is generally performed in a healthcare setting, but may require some traveling in the general area in which the company is located.
Behavior specialists work mostly with patients and individuals with disorders such as autism or OCD. Simply put, their goal is to help patients work through their behavioral issues with various therapies and plans and act as a source of support while the patient undergoes treatment. The behavior specialist will also need to develop plans for support and treatment for each of their clients and maintain progress reports and administer assessments to keep track of their improvement.
Behavior specialists may sometimes work with other specialists to conduct group therapy, but more often will work one-on one-with patients. Above all, they will need to be patient and highly communicative, as patients may be difficult at times.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
