After defining the requirements for my application, I'm going to start from the beginning, which means creating a database to store my data.
So, after going through the process of activating my MSDN Premium subscription to access the Windows Azure Platform, I went into the very clean and simple control panel for SQL Azure.
Using the Create Database, I specify a name for my database, create it and immediately tried to do a connectivity test.
Oops, it failed, but fortunately there is some information on what is going wrong: apparently there is a firewall blocking my connection, which is provided by SQL Azure as a way for you to control accesses to your database. We are taken to this link for further information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee621783.aspx
So, secure by default and a nice user experience as it was actually suggesting me to follow the explanatory link before I even tried to connect. Sounds good so far. So, let's add the necessary firewall rules:
I added a rule for my current IP address so I can interact with the database and also allowed access to Microsoft Services (which will be needed since I want to host a WCF service on Azure to interact with this database).
Success! I rule! Well, I guess it was easy… The control panel shows everything is up and running:
So, now that I have an empty database, how do I actually create tables? Reading the documentation quickly, it seems that I have to do it through T-SQL. I do have the SQL Client Tools, but how to connect to my database in the first place? Well, selecting the database enables a button labeled "Connection Strings"…let's try that:
Ok, so this has all the information I need to connect to my database. But from where? Apparently, I can't use SQL Server Management Studio (it throws an error) so I decided to follow the documentation (severe case of RTFM here) and try SQLCMD utility:
sqlcmd -S yniq7s0yws.database.windows.net -U nunos@yniq7s0yws -P <mypassword> -d TechFAQ
1> CREATE TABLE table1 ( id int primary key, someValue varchar(20))
1> select * from table1
id someValue
----------- --------------------
(0 rows affected)
Again, I rule! Well, that was also easy…
Now that my test is complete, it's time to drop this test table and create some meaningful table(s) that I will use in my application:
CREATE TABLE Technologies (id int primary key identity, name varchar(50), url varchar(100))
insert into technologies values ('Silverlight','http://www.silverlight.net')
insert into technologies values ('Windows Azure','http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure')
However, I tend to not like command line utilities that much so I decided to try and access my database from inside Visual Studio. Using Server Explorer window, I configured the connection to my database using the same values and it worked! Happy times!
After my initial joyful reaction, I tried to add more tables to the database through Visual Studio, but I was presented with a rather annoying (though enlightening) message:
Bah! However, opening the existing table works nicely:
Maybe in the future they will add support to either SQL Management Studio or Visual Studio so we can have a more seamless experience. But for now, this will do nicely. I will probably just create a dummy database using SQL Server Express, generate the script to create all my tables and foreign keys, and just use SQLCMD to replicate that model in my SQL Azure database... so it's not a problem even if I'm not the sharpest T-SQL guy out there.
Very nice indeed: the whole process took my about 30 minutes to setup, including the time needed to activate my MSDN Premium subscription to access Azure services AND do a couple of Bing searches to find out what to do as I went along. That's a lot faster than setting up a SQL Server instance to host my database in a server, and that's not even accounting the time needed to setup a Windows Server from scratch.
I'm going add a bit of complexity to my database model to suit my business needs and after that I will dedicate myself to part 2 of this scenario: building a WCF service that interacts with the database and hosting it on Azure.
Until then, have fun!

Most of the hard-epoxy paints become inactivated when kept out of the water for any period of time. I believe that Cam's suggestion is a good one, since sanding the paint layer lightly should remove the deactivated surface layer and allow the paint to work again upon re-immersion. However, I would add that you should sand the bottom as close to the time when you are going to re-launch the boat as possible.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

NEW ORLEANS - In the process of claiming its third set of men's and women's NCAA Outdoor Championships, and becoming the first school to do so, the Texas A&M track and field program totaled 46 USTFCCCA All-American honors. There were 25 All-American honors for the Aggie men and 21 for the A&M women.
Among the tally of 46 honors, A&M had 30 first-team All-Americans, seven second-team honors, and nine who received honorable mention.
Leading the way with three first-team All-American honors each were Demetrius Pinder and Jeneba Tarmoh. Pinder earned his in the 400, 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 while Tarmoh earned her set in the 200, 4 x 100 and 4 x 400.
A pair of first-team All-American honors went to Prezel Hardy, Jr. (100, 4x100), Tran Howell (200, 4x100), Bryan Miller (400, 4x400), Gerald Phiri (100, 4x100), Julian Reid (long jump, triple jump), and Andrea Sutherland (400H, 4x400).
Individual first-team All-American honors were awarded to Wayne Davis II (110H), Dominique Duncan (4x100), Melvin Echard (triple jump), Daphne Fitzpatrick (heptathlon), Tabarie Henry (4x400), Emalie Humphreys (javelin), Sam Humphreys (javelin), Gabby Mayo (4x100), and Michael Preble (4x400).
On the Aggie all-time list of All-American honors, Beard improved her career total to 16, just behind the 19 set by school record holder Porscha Lucas. Beard never finished lower than fourth place in the eight NCAA finals she qualified for in the 400, winning twice, earning three silver medals, two bronze and one fourth-place finish.
Beard became just the third female athlete in NCAA history, and the first since 1999, to win both 400 titles in the same year and run on both winning 4 x 400 relays at the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships. Also accomplishing the feat were Flirtisha Harris of Seton Hall (1994) and Suziann Reid of Texas (1999).
Phiri took over top honors for the A&M men with a career total of 11 honors to better the nine earned by Justin Oliver. Phiri ran on the Aggie 4 x 100 relay that placed second in 2008 and 2011 while earning bronze in the 100 and placing fourth twice. In the 200, Phiri finished fourth and eighth at the NCAA meet. Indoors, Phiri claimed an NCAA silver in the 60 while also placing sixth twice and seventh once.
Also surpassing the mark established by Oliver is Miller with a career total of 10 All-American honors. Miller ran on the 4 x 400 all four years of his Aggie career at the NCAA Outdoor meets and the past three season at NCAA Indoors while making the 400 final twice outdoors.
Reid and Pinder improved their career total of All-Americans to nine while Henry and Howell improved to seven and six, respectively.
Tarmoh has reached a total of 11 All-American honors with Texas A&M, tying her for third all-time with Simone Facey. Mayo completes her Aggie career with eight honors, tying her with Adrian Sawyer for fifth on the all-time list.
Second-team All-American awards were given to athletes placing between ninth and 16th place. Aggies with second-team honors included Laura Asimakis (javelin), Echard (long jump), Hardy (200), Henry (400), Sasha-Key Matthias (triple jump) and Tyron Stewart (triple jump).
Honorable mention honors, given to athletes who competed at the final site but didn't place in the meet's top 16, were awarded to Ashley Collier (100, 200), Duncan (200), Mayo (100H), Preble (800), Joey Roberts (800), Natasha Ruddock (100H), Stewart (long jump) and Tarmoh (100).

The Saucony Ride 7 is a standard, daily running, neutral shoe designed for a neutral foot motion.
Good gets better with the Saucony Ride 7. This refined neutral running shoe offers a super smooth ride and delivers enhanced cushioning throughout the entire length of the shoe. A light, breathable upper helps keep your feet comfortable. The entire package of the Ride 7 makes for a versatile daily training shoe that can handle long runs and faster days equally well.
Model Number: S20241-2
Weight: 9.3 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (28mm), Forefoot (20mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium, 2E=Wide
How It Fits (based on width D)
Comments: The Ride 7 is a all-purpose, do-anything workhorse that would be on my short list if I were faced with the question of which shoe I would want if I could only have one type of shoe in my closet. It's a well-cushioned trainer that is most suited for long runs and easy miles, but it's light and responsive enough to allow for some speed work. It's durable with plenty of rubber on the outsole, so it should last a long time. It's got a nice wide stable platform with just a touch of arch support. The shoe has an 8mm drop, but from my subjective point of view, the drop is hard to notice since the footbed is otherwise pretty flat and not biased to one side or the other. The midsole cushion is well-balanced. I would characterize the midsole as well-cushioned, very good at dispersing shock, and more firm/responsive than plush/soft. It does feel like there is a bit of extra cushion under the forefoot, but I found this to be a welcome addition since I have a midfoot/forefoot strike as it acted like a reminder of where my foot ought to be landing. The collar and tongue are well-padded but not excessively so, and the flat laces stay tied. The upper is flexible and stretchy without unnecessary stitches or embellishments and it breathes well. The toebox allows for a comfortable amount of toe splay. The Ride 7's light-reflective elements, including a huge patch on the heel, are a very welcome bonus. As other reviewers have noted, the Ride 7 is comparable to the Brooks Ghost, but I disagree that the Ride 7 is squishy in the midsole or narrow in the midfoot & toebox. I have a size 11, normal width foot that borders on narrow width, with a touch more pronation on the right foot due to a lower arch. The Ride 7 fit perfectly out of the box for me, with an initial 8-mile run producing not the slightest bit of discomfort. For some context, I previously ran in Brooks Ghost 6's and Hoka Conquests, Cliftons, and Huakas, and I struggled with narrowness issues, resulting in hots pots and blisters on the medial side of the forefoot, in all of those shoes. The Ride 7 has yet to give me any such problems. In conclusion: this is a solid shoe that has quickly become my default option for almost any run.
From: JM, Topeka, KS, USA. April 22nd 2015
Comments: Excellent shoe. The cushion is the best I've experienced in my many years of running. It's not mushy, but disburses shock well. Regarding fit, the midfoot is a little too roomy for me. But, I will definitely get another pair because I like the cushion so much.
From: Tom, Las Cruces, NM, USA. December 30th 2014
Comments: Just got the new Ride 7 and the shoe fitter came up with a 9.5 based on the fit of my Ghost 6. The Ride 7 is too narrow and runs small. Returning and going with the Brooks.
From: Joe, Huntsville, AL, USA. December 8th 2014
Comments: Not much toebox room and I agree with Graham ..whatever they switched to is too squishy. But those with normal forefoot(not on the wide side)will probably like the fit.
From: Derry, Potsdam, NY, USA. October 16th 2014
Comments: Cannot say enough about this amazing shoe. Been looking for the "perfect" shoe through many trials of everything ranging from the Adrenaline 14, Cumulus, Hoka Bondi, and Dyads. These by far are the exact (granted, for me, obviously) mix of great long lasting cushioning, support without pushing my foot out at all and the great Goldilocks "just right" feeling. Kudos, Saucony. Kudos. P.S. As much as I love my new Ride 7s, can't wait to test out the new Triumph ISO series.
From: Anonymous. September 27th 2014
Comments: This shoe is incredible. It holds together very good, and is a good shoe for sprinting workouts and long runs as well. I much prefer the Ride to the Brooks Ghost.
From: Justin, WI, USA. August 29th 2014
Comments: I've found that the newer Saucony foam compounds are too squishy and don't have good energy return. The sock liner breaks down way too fast also. I much prefer the Brooks Ghost to the Ride.

lazy eye and 1hbh

If you try to restrict your shoulder turn on the 1hbh you're likely to lose power and control, and/or over-rotate to compensate for the short backswing.
As a last-ditch effort (that you may as well try), you may try hitting without closing your shoulders, and instead swing from neutral to semi-open shoulders making contact the same way Wawrinka does (semi-open). But note that even Wawrinka closes his shoulders on the backswing. You'll probably have to muscle the ball more, also.
Sadly, moving to a 2hbh may be your best option. You can hit the 2hbh both open and neutral, though neutral would probably be preferred if you had the time to set up. Agassi seemed to like to hit neutral and he did it very well.
With a 2hbh, you won't have to close your shoulders as much as the 1hbh on the backswing. Also, you will be opening your shoulders up more on the forward swing and will be making contact more to the
of your body instead of your right. All this should help you get a better look at the incoming ball. Lastly, the later contact on the 2hbh will give you a split second more to adjust to misreads of the ball.
So even if you hit the 2hbh from a closed stance you're likely to get a better look with a 2hbh. And of course the two hands will allow you to further adjust to surprises.
You should probably start learning the 2hbh using a closed stance, then hit open and neutral shortly after. The easiest set up would probably be to keep your left arm straight and right arm bent. Be sure to transfer your weight fully forward on neutral/closed-stance shots, like you would with your 1hbh.
I does copy Wawrinka a lot. He open up his body a lot when hitting. I open up too mostly because I lost track of the ball when turning and just want to regain the track of the ball by opening up earlier. It's OK to deal with slow or medium paced ball, but when the incoming ball a bit faster, I start to loose track of the ball right before the ball come into the hitting zone(that's the time I need turn further closed I guess). Basically I think turning the head for my 1hbh is relatively a big deal for me when the ball is faster. I would speculate a normal person will not have so much a problem which turning because the right eye can still track the ball, but I never know since I do see a lot of one-handers struggle with their backhand.
Good explanation for those advantage of 2hbh. Those points really make sense to me. It seems very promising to fix my problem. I just have to make a hard decision before I really do it... I have tried 2hbh a little bit, very awkward for me. Miss hit, hard to generate the power is the least to say. But it's good to block high and further ball. I think I have to bite the bullet one day...

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts(TV) (2009-2010)
On October 29th and 30th, 2009, rock 'n' roll royalty held court at Madison Square Garden for what haven been called "the best concerts ever," where "rock 'n' roll history was made."
For more about Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts Blu-ray release, see Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on November 5, 2010 where this Blu-ray release scored 5.0 out of 5.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts Blu-ray Review
But wait, you also get. . .
Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman, November 5, 2010
Hello. My name is Jeff, and I am a Time-Life junkie. There, I've admitted it, you know my dirty little secret and I won't even ask you not to judge me. I'm not sure where my oh so slight obsession with Time-Life products began, but I think it was probably when I was a kid and my Mom must have subscribed to one of the Time-Life book series. I just remember how wonderful it was every 4-6 weeks to see that big cardboard package come in the mail, and then getting to leaf through what was usually a gorgeously bound, oversized book stuffed to the gills with great photos, illustrations and actual informative and engaging text. As I got older I moved on to Time-Life audio products, including their wonderful CEDAR remasterings of vintage Big Band recordings. Some of the Time-Life enterprises were marginal at bestI still remember subscribing to a gigantic LP series called As You Remember Them, which "recreated" pop hits of the past 50 years (past meaning anything pre-1970s) in exciting, clean, magical Stereo! Let's just say that while the instrumental recreations were always faithful to the originals, the attempts to mimic well known vocalists. . .weren't. But Time-Life flops were really pretty rare and though loving any given Time-Life series may mark the individual consumer as a hopeless member of the bourgeoisie, I for one couldn't care less. My kids have regularly turned to a number of Time-Life book series in my home for school research on everything from world history to mythology, and I have at least a few Time-Life CD series that I regularly listen to. So I was perhaps pre-sold on the idea of Time-Life entering the Blu-ray arena, albeit with a standalone title that is not part of an "every 4-6 weeks" series, Time-Life's regular marketing calling card. But nothing really could have prepared me for the unbelievable, and really surprisingly emotional, experience of watching and listening to The 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts.
Some measure of the aural pleasures in store can be had by simply listing the participants: Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Smokey Robinson, John Legend, B.B. King, Sting, Annie Lennox, Ozzy Osbourne, Ray Davies, Patti Smith, Mick Jagger, Fergie, Will.i.am, Buddy Guy, Darlene Love, John Fogerty and Billy Joel, among others. Oh, wait. I'm sorryI'm listing the friggin' back up band!! The headliners here are Crosby, Stills & Nash, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Simon & Garfunkel, Aretha Franklin, Metallica, Jeff Beck and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. Taped over two late October 2009 nights at Madison Square Garden, this event is simply one of the most amazing collections of contemporary rock and pop masters ever assembled under one roof, and one of the most amazing things about it is the chance to see that incredible panoply of "guest stars" perform with the "main acts." You may not have an equal appreciation for everyone on this ticket (I in fact could have lived without either John Legend or Jackson Browne, but that's just me), but watching these fantastic musicians work together is an often indescribable pleasure.
They say that rock 'n' roll is a young man's game, but you wouldn't know by the AARP-eligible on stage talent at this concert. Let's just review some of the ages of the headlining participants, as uncomfortable as that may be for both them personally and those of us who grew up with them and think of them (and ourselves) as "forever young." David Crosby, 69; Stephen Stills, 65; Graham Nash, 68; Stevie Wonder, 60; Paul Simon, 69; Art Garfunkel, 69; Aretha Franklin, 68; Jeff Beck, 66; Bruce Springsteen, 61. Wow. Time (not to mention Life) marches on. But virtually all of these people are in incredible shape, musically speaking. In fact the only kind of sad moment of the concert is the opening cameo by Jerry Lee Lewis. This 75 year old icon seems fairly arthritic at this late stage, unable to really play very well (unless he's moving on to Mahavishnu inspired odd time signatures like 17/8) and not really able to sing any more, either. His appearance generates roars of approval, especially when he kicks over the white piano bench and attempts to trash it (unsuccessfully, it must be added), but it's just the tiniest bit exploitative and embarrassing.
Other than that slight misstep, this concert is a rock fan's wet dream. While the vagaries of age do show in some of the rough vocal work, the added gravitas of several of these singers' voices is really actually quite appealing. And watching something like James Taylor sharing vocal lead with Stephen Stills (along with Nash, Young, Browne and Raitt backing them up) on "Love the One You're With" is an incredible experience. In fact the guest star lineup is one of the really potent attractions of these concerts. While Legend frankly seems well out of his league sitting next to Wonder (who has an emotional breakdown in a tribute to Michael Jackson), for the most part the guests are as stellar as the headliners (not to state the obvious), making this set of evenings play like a star-studded jam session the likes of which have rarely been seen before.
There are indeed so many magical moments sprinkled through these sets that it's another kind of embarrassmentone of richesto even attempt to single out a few to entice you. What about Stevie and B.B. blistering through "The Thrill is Gone"? Or Stevie and Sting doing a medley of "Higher Ground/Roxanne"? How about a spine tingling, quietly combustible performance of "Here Comes the Sun" by Paul Simon, Crosby and Nash? What about The Boss joining Bono for "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," or dueting with Billy Joel on both "New York State of Mind" and "Born to Run"? If your ears aren't tingling in anticipation yet, there's nothing I can do to help.
The concert is also filled with some nice montages honoring some of the headliners like Simon and Beck, as well as at least showing some archival pictures of some other important figures, like the Coasters, who either show up to perform or are at least referenced by the people in attendance. Coverage of this event, which was first broadcast in an edited form on HBO, is exceptional, with fantastic up close and personal shots interspersed with wide angle views that show that the Garden was stuffed to the rafters for both evenings of this wonderful retrospective.
The entire set list (minus extras, discussed below) is:
Jerry Lee Lewis
Great Balls of Fire
Crosby, Stills, and Nash (with Raitt, Browne and Taylor)
Woodstock, Almost Cut My Hair, Love Has No Pride, The Pretender, Love the One You're With

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts Blu-ray, Video Quality
The 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts is presented on Blu-ray by Time-Life with an appealing VC-1 encoded image in 1080i and 1.78:1. There aren't a whole lot of bells and whistles in the stage presentation, other than some pretty multi-colored lights, but sharpness and saturation here are top notch. Detail, especially in close-ups, is often exceptional, and in fact a little distressing when one gets an up close and personal look at an aging demigod one remembers in all their youthful glory, or when one if forced to wonder what in heck Paul Simon's bright blue jacket is made out of, sharkskin or velour. The hard working artists can clearly be seen working up a sweat more than a few times. Black levels and contrast are also spot on, with even the darkened stage never obscuring the artists and back up musicians. The only anomaly was very occasional aliasing on a couple of unexpected items like a microphone stand, of all things. Other than that, this is a top flight video presentation.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts Blu-ray, Audio Quality
Two thumpingly good lossless tracks are offered on this Blu-ray, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix and a DTS-HD Master Audio Stereo fold down. Both of these tracks set the bar wonderfully high for rock Blu-rays, with brilliantly clear fidelity, robust lows, full and ample middles, and crystalline, though never brittle, highs. (It should be noted that the special still contains a Dolby Digital 5.1 logo as it starts, but don't get worried, these Blu-rays do indeed offer only lossless audio). The humongous auditorium which is Madison Square Garden has some pretty overwhelming built in reverb, but while the 5.1 track certainly is spacious sounding, there's never any echo or in fact over the top audience noise to drown out the magnificent music. The great thing about this mix is how it is so faithful to quieter, almost quasi-acoustic sets, like the Simon & Garfunkel outing, to the amped up head banging excesses of Metallica. Through it all, surround immersion is virtually nonstop, instruments are discretely presented in individual channels, and vocals are always mixed perfectly into the overall soundfield. For a music release, this is most definitely a reference quality disc.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Aside from some unedited and bonus footage in the concerts themselves which didn't make it unexpurgated to the HBO broadcast version, there are two sets of bonus segments, one on each disc, totaling an additional 67:06 of HD footage. Disc One includes CS&N (with guests) doing Mexico and Teach Your Children; Stevie Wonder (with Legend) doing Uptight, I Was Made to Love Her, Signed, Sealed, Delivered and Mery, Mercy Me; and Simon & Garfunkel doing Mrs. Robinson/Fade Away. Disc Two's extras include Metallica doing Turn the Page and the unedited version of Iron Man/Paranoid; U2 (with Black Eyed Peas) doing Mysterious Ways and Where Is the Love/One; Jeff Beck doing Freeway Jam and Big Block; Springsteen (with Morello) doing London Calling; and the unedited version of the Jackie Wilson tribute. Additionally Disc Two contains a Photo Gallery. The duofold case includes a great illustrated booklet with a wealth of background information, and there's also a postpaid mail in card that gives you a free 12 issue subscription to Rolling Stone.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Those of you who keep track of my reviews know I do a lot of "high brow" classical, opera and ballet releases, though truth be told, I love rock music just as much. I'm a sentimental fool at times, and am not particularly ashamed to admit I got surprisingly emotional seeing all these great artists performing together. With a lineup like this 2 Blu-ray set offers, and a superior image and especially sound quality, this is one of the leading contenders for music Blu-ray release of 2010. In fact, if you have a classic rock lover in your life, your shopping quandary for the holidays is conclusively over. The only question is, is there another volume coming in 4-6 weeks? Very highly recommended.

How to Play: Freedom
Filed under: Activities: Toddlers & Preschoolers, Activities: Big Kids, Activities: Tweens, Activities: Family Time, Kids' Games
What you need: You need a large playing area, with a place for the "jail."
How to play: Divide the children into two teams. One team will hide, while the other team searches for the other team members to take them to "jail."
The rules: The searching team covers their eyes and counts to 100 while the hiding team hides. After the count is done, the searching team looks for the opposing team members. When someone is found, he is taken to "jail" by the person who found him. That person must also guard the "jail." The other hiding team members must now try to free their teammate by running up to the "jail," tagging it with their foot, and screaming "Freedom!" If someone trying to free a teammate is caught by the person guarding the "jail," that person is also thrown into the "jail." If the player successfully frees his teammate, they both go hide again. Once all team members are caught, the teams switch roles for a new round.
How to win: Teams win either by catching all of the opposing team members or by not getting caught and thrown in "jail."
What else you need to know: In another version of this game, players who try to free teammates from "jail" say "Alli, alli instant free!" instead of "Freedom!"

Sandwiched in between the daddies, Toraemon gets himself ready to satisfy these two. As the pair work on the youngster, the boydoes make twitching a very sexy sight. With Toraemon's hole on full display, they show him how an ass should be worked. Lubing up "the ringer," theydiscuss how the bottom is a size queen; he shows with his hands how big he likes his plugs. While Toraemon plays with the rings, the bottom moans withenjoyment. Up and gloved, Toraemon jerks for a bit and then "dives" in. From the get go, the top pumps away easily; the other daddy works the bottom'snipples. As the trio toil together "polishing the silver," the thrusting goes faster; looks like Toraemon has the bottom "standing at attention."Pulling of his condom quickly, Toraemon spews all over the inside of the bottom's thigh, dripping onto the floor.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
This lovely family cottage is located on Lake Huron, 3 minutes south of Mackinaw City. Away from the hustle and bustle of town but close enough for a quick trip for your evening guilty pleasure of Mackinaw fudge or a fresh churned ice cream cone. Enjoy the incredible views of Mackinac Island, Bois Blanc Island and the Mackinac Bridge from the privacy and comfort of the spacious sun room. With seating for 10, it will be the focal point for your family gatherings. There is space for everyone and the room welcomes you to sit back and relax. Play a game of cards, or tell ghost stories - it's a perfect place to reconnect with your family or friends. The cottage was completely remodeled in 2010 - everything, including appliances, are new.
The Mackinaw House is an opportunity to find peace, tranquility, joy and adventure. With a view of one of the world's most beautiful bridges, and Mackinaw Island which is majestically set between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas our home is a perfect vacation destination. Nestled in Northern Michigan, the Mackinaw House is a safe and charming location for your next visit to the shores of the Straits of Mackinac.
The Mackinaw House is a two story structure with an interior decorated with family heirlooms and paneling made from native species of wood. The first floor is inviting and calming with one bed room, a mud room including a washer and dryer, a full kitchen and dining room, a small den, and a full bathroom. The Mackinaw House is a getaway, a true oasis away from the rat race, with stunning sunrises and a palette of colors at sunset.
The second floor has a rustic feel with log walls in the family room, two bedrooms and a second bathroom. The walls in the bedrooms are a combination of light cheery colors and knotty pine wood. The family room has a television, couch, and an additional dining room table and hutch. There is a very small kitchenette in the back of the family room. The Mackinaw House was built with our own hands with the intention of creating a lake house with that "welcome home" feel. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
They say "location is everything" and you won't find a better location to enjoy all that Northern Michigan has to offer.
If you are interested in star-gazing, the night sky over Lake Huron is beautiful. You can also drive 10 minutes to the Headlands - recently designated as a 'DARK SKY PRESERVE' - one of only 10 locations in the USA! This is given to a few special areas that are free of artificial light. The night sky is breathtakingly beautiful!
In the winter, you can be on the slopes of Nubs Knob or Boyne Mountain in less than 30 minutes. If you prefer snow-shoeing or x-country skiing, the area offers the Headlands, Wilderness State Park or Mill Creek - all minutes away. The beautiful Mackinaw to Midland snowmobile/bike trail is easily accessed from the driveway of the cottage. Interested in a little more adventure? Try a dog-sled ride through the wilderness from a local musher! Also a great base-camp for hunters.
In the spring, birdwatchers gather from all over the country to catch a glimpse of the incredible hawk migration.
Lake Michigan,Historic Fort Michilimackinac and the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, the ferry docks to Mackinac Island - are all minutes away.
In the fall, take the color tour through the "tunnel of trees" or enjoy spectacular scenery in the Upper Peninsula, an easy drive across the mighty Mackinac Bridge. There's nothing quite like the sound of bugling elks during mating season at Pigeon River or the mysterious call of the loon on a quiet lake. It's all here! Hunt, fish, hike, canoe, bike – you can do it all or you can just relax by the cozy fireplace with a good book.
A vacation at the Mackinaw House is an opportunity for family fun. There is something for everyone where the waters of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron meet. The area is rich in natural beauty, history, and unique opportunities on Mackinaw Island; to visit a place that really is "somewhere in time."
Activities within a few miles include golf, hiking, guided tours, jet skiing, parasailing, bicycle paths, sightseeing, lake cruises, local cuisine, Fort Mackinac, horse- drawn carriage rides, historical treasures, state historic parks, butterfly conservatory, ferry boats, and much more…
Activities within forty-five minutes or less of the house include downhill skiing, cross country skiing, snow mobile trails, the historic downtowns of Petoskey and Harbor Springs and all of the opportunities of music, entertainment, and culture available year – around in Northern Michigan.
Mackinaw Getaways is now able to offer cottage accommodations to sleep up to 40 people. With many cottages to choose from, this is the perfect location for wedding parties, family reunions or other small gatherings. If you're planning a Mackinac Island wedding and need accommodations for your guests, we have the perfect solution.
Enjoy charming cottages, all with fully equipped kitchens (some even include a washer/dryer), screened-in porch, picnic area and firepits for evening campfires with friends and family - all a stones throw from the Mackinac Island ferries. Call us for more information.
We can help you plan a variety of Ecotour packages in the summer and fall. Interested in kayaking the Straits of Mackinac or the Les Cheneaux Islands? How about a guided bike tour or a birding excursion? We can hook you up with an experienced guide (all equipment included) for an unforgettable adventure.
Book your perfect Northern Michigan getaway today!
The beach is rocky so bring your water shoes.
Great relaxing property. Close enough to town. Far enough away from the crowds.
Had a great time. It was a perfect place for our first vacation all together.6 adults and 4 kids. Plenty room for everyone. House is a perfect vacation house.
We stayed here for two nights...4 adults and 3 kids (5,7,9 yrs old). The home was very clean, the layout is nice, especially the sun room and the upstairs with the family room. Functional, updated kitchen. Great views of Mackinac Island and the Bridge. Very family friendly - kids loved all the board games, etc. Our 9 year old really enjoyed the typewriter! Driveway is tight (for parking) but wouldn't influence our decision to stay again.
Service from the owners/property managers was very professional, responsive, and friendly from booking to after the sale. The rate is very affordable for the space and location too. We had a great rental experience all around!
Our family enjoyed our time in Mackinaw. The view of the bridge was great and the kids loved seeing it all lit up at night. The house was a great fit for our needs.
Two families of 4 each spent 3 nights at the house, which is located at the end of a quiet, no-outlet street just off the main highway (i.e., the only people on the street are the ones that live there, which is a big plus). Kitchen was well-stocked with all the equipment you need (including a good coffee machine) and was a solid spot for us to prepare breakfasts and dinners (lunches were out in town or on the island).The porch facing the water is a highlight. Bring bug spray if you're spending time near the woods--it is the upper Midwest, land of the mosquito. But the beach front is gorgeous. The beach itself is not sandy; typical rocky beach you'll find in this part of the country, so bring watershoes or Keens or whatever if you're heading out. There's a kayak and a canoe under the porch. Don't know if that's for public use, but they are enticing... especially with all that water out there. We'd definitely go again.
My family and I enjoyed our stay tremendously. The home has a wonderful sun room that we spent most of time in while at the house. The view of Lake Huron was enjoyable and it was fun to watch the changes in the lake throughout the day.

- Date: Tue, 09 Aug 2011 19:11:36 +0200
Very good Tom! I have also read the statement multiple times and I really like that it talks about the tiny difference between NetBeans users and developers and calls for participation. Hopefully this term has a broader meaning to also include other types of participation like evangelism, testing, localization etc. not just contribution of source code, because own investment (no matter of what kind) strongly supports wider adoption of the product.
The only thing I miss in the statement is a few words about primary goal of the IDE - first class tooling for Java language - and primary goal of the RCP - first class framework for Java applications.
My two cents,
Dne 7.8.2011 04:46, Tom Wheeler napsal(a):
During the most recent NetBeans Governance Board meeting, I asked John
whether there was any update on a NetBeans mission statement. This
relates to the May 24th meeting [1] in which I had noted I was unable
to find one to use as a foundation for writing the mission statement
for our governance board. John said then that NetBeans did not have
one, but that he would talk to his PMs about creating one since Sven
and I both thought one would benefit the project.
During last week's meeting, John marketing/product management team is
trying to come up with a marketing requirements document which will
provide details about important technologies and competing
technologies, and will probably not write a mission statement
specifically. John explained what Oracle's goals were for NetBeans,
and while I can understand and appreciate them, I don't see that this
fulfills the need for a mission statement. We had some discussion
about this in the board meeting, and John asked that I summarize my
points and send them to the board, cc'ing Ashwin Rao. I am doing so
In my view, a mission statement should succinctly state NetBeans'
purpose. It should set expectations and guide what we do. It should
transcend any short-term strategy or technology. As an example, here
is the one I wrote which we adopted for the board:
The NetBeans project aims to produce tools which bring
significant value to the developers who use them. NetBeans
is open source and its development takes place in the
open. We do this because we're excited about NetBeans and
we know that by making it widely available, more people
will try it and this enthusiasm will spread. Our users
are also developers, so they have unique insight for new
features that will help to improve NetBeans. We recognize
that we have a unique opportunity to transform passive
users into an active community and we want to encourage
this by constantly identifying and eliminating barriers
that limit this participation. We're confident that the
result will be a better, more innovative product used by
a community who has an investment in its success.
Hopefully, you'll agree and see the value it offers. I think NetBeans
should have a mission statement and I'd be happy for the board's
mission statement to serve as a guide for it.

Canada requires that you fly with your bag. The problem is that his bag DID make it, and so did he! They messed up and we lost a whole day in London because of it.

orthopoly[P] - Legendre and Jacobi polynomials
Calling Sequence
P(n, a, b, x)
P(n, x)
non-negative integer
algebraic expression
a, b
rational numbers greater than -1 or nonrational algebraic expressions
The P(n, a, b, x) function computes the nth Jacobi polynomial with parameters a and b evaluated at x.
In the case of only two arguments, P(n, x) computes the nth Legendre (spherical) polynomial which is equal to P(n, 0, 0, x).
These polynomials are orthogonal on the interval with respect to the weight function when a and b are greater than -1. They satisfy:
The Jacobi polynomials are undefined for negative integer values of a or b.
Jacobi polynomials satisfy the following recurrence relation:

Ukraine crisis casts shadow over start of EU talks with Cuba
Published on May 1, 2014 11:10 AM
HAVANA (Reuters) - The European Union told Cuba on Wednesday it disagreed with its support of Russia in the Ukraine crisis as the dispute cast a shadow over talks aimed at improving relations between the communist-run island and European countries.
"It's a point of great concern to the EU," the EU's chief negotiator in the talks Christian Leffler told reporters in Havana.
Negotiators for the 28-nation bloc and Cuba met on Tuesday and Wednesday in Havana for a first round of talks. Only the European side spoke about the meetings afterward. Mr Leffler said the differences over Ukraine did not affect the talks but were an example of what would be discussed in future discussions.
Speaking hours before the first meeting, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez publicly criticised the European Union and the United States for imposing sanctions on a number of Russian officials. "Cuba energetically rejects the imposition of sanctions against Russia, knowing that those who impose them are the same governments that have launched wars of conquests that intervene in the internal affairs of sovereign countries and provoke the destabilisation of governments that don't go along with their interests of domination," Mr Rodriguez said in an appearance with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who was in Havana.

A NATION CHALLENGED: ON THE MOVE; Reports Swirl Out of Afghanistan Of Panic and Taliban Defections
By JOHN F. BURNS
Published: October 4, 2001
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Oct. 3— The Taliban's top Islamic clerics have left their headquarters in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar to escape the risk of American bombing, and other senior Taliban officials have fled to Pakistan or sent their families across the border as refugees, according to reliable accounts reaching Pakistan.
Other accounts depict gathering panic among the population and the disappearance from major cities of many Taliban soldiers and policemen, and raise the possibility of a mass defection by Taliban fighters.
The accumulating signs could indicate the beginning of a wider disintegration of Taliban power. But because the reports are scattered, and in some cases from refugees arriving in Pakistan who are hostile to the Taliban, it is uncertain whether the Taliban are starting to break up as a governing force or are regrouping for a guerrilla war.
A top official of the anti-Taliban alliance based in northern Afghanistan said today that dozens of senior Taliban officers commanding as many as 10,000 troops might be willing to switch loyalties, some of them based in key provinces.
''They are willing to change sides today or wait until something starts and then coordinate their efforts with us,'' said the official, Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, who is nominally the foreign minister of the Northern Alliance. ''It's quite possible there will be a popular uprising in Kabul before we can move forces into Kabul.''
He also claimed to have received pledges of continuing support from Iran and Russia, and to have held his first meeting with American officials. ''We are discussing every aspect of the present situation and cooperation,'' he said, without disclosing the meeting's location.
The alliance, which has fought a long and losing war against the Taliban, has a reputation for exaggerating its claims. There was no way to tell whether Dr. Adbullah was overstating the extent to which Taliban fighters could be tempted into a mass defection -- a development that would dramatically alter the strategic landscape in the country. Other alliance commanders suggested Dr. Abdullah was making exaggerated claims.
But the statements together with the flurry of reports that have leaked out of the isolated country in the past 48 hours -- from Afghan cities hundreds of miles apart, as well as from provincial towns that have been fortresses of Taliban power -- suggest that tensions building since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States are reaching a breaking point.
With the Taliban leaders refusing to hand over Osama bin Laden, named by the United States as the ''prime suspect'' in the attacks, many within the Taliban's ranks appear to have concluded that war with the United States is inevitable.
United Nations officials and refugees say looting of shops and homes has begun. In Kandahar, Taliban fighters have stormed into a United Nations compound and driven off with vehicles used in an American-financed program that has been disarming millions of land mines left over from the guerrilla war against Soviet forces in the 1980's. Shops in the capital, Kabul, as well as in Kandahar and the eastern city of Jalalabad have emptied of food.
On the streets of all three cities the religious police -- notorious for beating women for the most trivial offenses against the Taliban's repressive social codes -- are reported to have virtually disappeared.
Intelligence agents have burst into homes and arrested anyone who so much as mentions the name of Mohammad Zahir Shah, the exiled Afghan king who has emerged as a possible figurehead for a post-Taliban government, according to some reports.
Religious schools that have indoctrinated young Taliban fighters have been closed, and the students sent off to be inducted into the army. But many have joined the flood of refugees heading for Pakistan, only to be pulled from their families at gunpoint and pressed into service in the Taliban's front-line units.
Alongside such accounts, claims by the Northern Alliance of large numbers of front-line Taliban field commanders being prepared to defect had echoes elsewhere.
In another region crucial to Taliban power, along Afghanistan's eastern border with Pakistan, Taliban commanders in three key provinces that control the southern approaches to Kabul -- Paktika, Paktia and Logar -- were reported today to have been in contact with opposition groups that have come together in a loose alliance against the Taliban.
According to officials in Pakistan's military intelligence agency, mostly tribal chiefs have shown ''some interest'' in defecting to the new alliance on condition that it be led by the exiled Zahir Shah.
These reports, if true, would explain why the Taliban's supreme leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar, has directed several of his diatribes in recent days against the 86-year-old former king, warning him to live out his life in exile in Rome, where he has lived since 1973. Anybody who supports the king or any other anti-Taliban movement, Mullah Omar said in a radio address today, ''will be accused of treason,'' an offense punishable by death.

Water worries grow on Colorado River
The conservation group Environmental Defense Fund said it's pushing the Bureau of Reclamation and state officials to ensure that the federal study identifies solutions to the imbalance between water supply and demand while sustaining healthy river flows.
"Active outdoor recreation in the Colorado River Basin contributes more than $75 billion annually to the region's economy and supports more than 780,000 jobs," said Dan Grossman, the group's director in the Rocky Mountain region. "That's why we must capitalize on this study by crafting a path forward that protects the health of the Colorado River–and the ecosystems and economies it supports–or we'll miss a critical opportunity with potentially tragic consequences for the region.
He added: "While the Bureau of Reclamation and Colorado River Basin states have made some progress, they have a lot of work left to do."

Wendler's 5/3/1 with singles
This is a variant that Matt Rhodes came up with a while back. Thought I'd post the spreadsheet I made for it. And before anyone asks the order of the weeks are changed on purpose
Open the spreadsheet and the link to the specific post at EliteFTS is in it. If you have questions on the spreadsheet let me know. I've only included the main lift. Accessory work is all up to you
One thing to note is that the weights for the singles are just estimates and will likely have to be adjusted up or down depending on how you're feeling that day.
good luck,

EGM Review:
Peggle 2
Posted on December 11, 2013 AT 05:57pm
Second verse, same as the first
Peggle 2 is more Peggle.
If I were allowed to have my entire review be no more than one line of text—and, technically, being executive editor, I might actually be allowed—I'd write that as my review, slap a score at the end, and call it a day.
It's a statement of fact, one devoid of any positive or negative judgment, and it perfectly sums up what you'll find if you spent the $12 to download Peggle 2. It's more Peggle, in every sense of the word. It is not the rebirth of Peggle, or the death of Peggle, or the meteoric-rise-and-then-tragic-fall of Peggle, or Peggle's crazy-yet-lovable cousin.
The question I struggled with—and still somewhat struggle with—is if that's enough. Maybe it is. Peggle isn't a grand story, one set around characters and narrative and things that can't go on forever without wearing out their welcome. Nor is it based around gimmicks or elements that are enthralling and captivating at first, but which lessen the more you're exposed to them. Peggle is about presenting a set style of challenge, and then tasking you to overcome it with skill (or luck). Peggle 2 says that it's OK if you've beaten all the challenges it's presented to you throughout its previous iterations—it has more for you to enjoy.
And, to be fair, Peggle 2 isn't completely without the new. Joining the series' hoofed mascot Bjorn are four new Peggle Master characters: the Big Lebowski–inspired troll Jeffrey, the happy-go-lucky yeti Berg, the clockwork-robot-riding gnome Gnorman, and the undead grade-schooler Luna. Each brings a new set of special abilities, and some of them—especially Berg's—show some genuine sparks of creativity. Those Masters also bring with them new music, which will be a huge damned shock to any longtime Peggle player the moment they beat their first stage.
Yet, I also can't help but feel that more just wasn't enough. Playing through Peggle 2's 60 standard stages and then working on conquering its additional 60 challenge stages, it took me very little time to remember why the game took so many players by storm. But something felt missing. As good as everything here is, I couldn't shake the idea that, at this point, there should be something more. Maybe not even more—just different. Peggle 2 has new characters, new graphics, and new peg layouts, but nothing genuinely new. Nothing to show us that PopCap has a fire in their heart that burns with ideas of how to do something with Peggle that isn't just more of the same. Nothing to fulfill the childlike enthusiasm displayed by PopCap co-founder John Vechey when he went onstage at EA's E3 press conference, jumped into the air—fist outstretched—and yelled "Peggle 2!"
This Peggle 2 is more of a walk on stage, stand there awkwardly for a moment while you wait for your slide to load, do a half-turn to look at the big screen, look back at the audience, and—with an unapologetic-but-unenthusiastic shrug—say, "You know, Peggle 2."
Now, there was something that felt fresh and unique about Peggle 2, but that was because I'd missed the mode in the series' previous console outings. Multiplayer is a blast, and may be worth the price of admission alone. You hop online, join up in a room with up to three other people, and take turns seeing who can score the highest point total in a set amount of rounds. I've been in some fiercely competitive games, where scores fluctuated round to round and players who were just in fourth place suddenly shot up to first. It's also here that your choice in character comes into play the most—and seeing what different players can do with each is part of the fun.
Sadly, multiplayer is online-only at the moment—an absolute crime, given how Peggle lends itself so well to families and friends getting together in the same room and competing with one another. A free download will be coming in the near future to fix this, but it's something that should have been there from day one. (We now live in a "ship today, finish tomorrow" world, whether we like it or not, and that's not something I'm happy about.) What does come included with Peggle 2's multiplayer is some crazy lag at times. Thankfully, it typically only shows up after you've made your shot, so actual gameplay isn't negatively affected. Still, it's kind of shocking to see in a game like this.
With the exception of that technical issue, and the game's way-too-overactive obsession with automatically recording gameplay moments when anything cool happens—seriously Peggle 2, it's OK. I can say, "Xbox, record that" to record awesome moments; you don't have to fill my hard drive with endless self-indulgence—there's nothing genuinely wrong with Peggle 2. There's nothing bad, nothing broken, nothing unenjoyable, nothing unpolished. There's just also nothing truly different, nothing groundbreaking, nothing to make you feel like Peggle isn't getting a little complacent and kind of taking your love for granted at this point. And, at this point, there's also too much that's missing that will either be coming later (like the previously-mentioned local multiplayer) or better be coming later (like leaderboards).
On the game's home screen, there's a little shop icon at the bottom that promises it'll be "coming soon." Maybe Peggle 2 is the way it is because it doesn't need to be anything else. Or maybe PopCap simply isn't sure what they should—or can—do to the game beyond providing more of what people already love. I don't know if either of those or true, and—928 words later, as of this point—I still don't know if Peggle 2 needed to be more than more. I do know that, deep in my heart, I fear that whatever is locked behind that unassuming little shop icon could potentially explain the game's overall lack of "more" in a most unpleasant way.
|Developer: PopCap • Publisher: EA • ESRB: E – Everyone • Release Date: 12.08.2013
Peggle 2 is more of what you've come to love about PopCap's peg-busting puzzle franchise brought to Microsoft's next-generation console. If all you want is more, then Peggle 2 will definitely please—but if you were hoping for something to really refresh the series after its previous outings, "more" may leaving you wanting, well, more.
|The Good
|It's more Peggle, and Peggle is a whole lot of fun.
|The Bad
|It's more Peggle, and not much more than that.
|The Ugly
|My disappointment every time I finish a stage with a character other than Bjorn and Ode to Joy doesn't play.
|Peggle 2 is available as a timed exclusive on Xbox One.
