« Smells Like Treasure by Suzanne Selfors The Other Side of the Island by Allegra Goodman »
The Magic Half by Annie Barrows
Miri is the main character in this story and she is the middle child between two sets of twins. She often feels left out and overlooked by her parents. Her older brothers torment her, while her toddler sisters annoy her. When her family moves to an old Victorian house, Miri has something to take her mind off her siblings. Looking through the lens of an old eyeglass, she is transported back to 1935. There she meets Molly, who lived in the same house, under the thumb of her violent cousin. She also finds out from a local townie about a buried treasure which might help her bring her new friend to the present time. The characters and setting are realistic despite the subtle elements of magic and time travel. Still, this is a fun story that adds a bit of history and a tad of mystery into the mix. The adventure will surely enchant readers and it would appeal to grades 3-6. I found this story truly delightful.

I thought there was probably no marker. Thanks for looking at the information. At least we have the plot area.

Thank you for looking for Sharyn's memorial marker. Even though there does not seem to be a marker the plot information is great to have. She is my husband's sister and we had no information other than the cemetery.
You mentioned if I have the Hebrew name. I got the following from the internet. I don't know any Hebrew so I'm not sure if this is any help. If you happen to go back this is the best I could do.
Thank you very much.

What a nice surprise it was, to hear from FindaGrave that you'd taken a photo of Ray Silverstein's grave. I may be Jewish (as was Ray), but I still feel that Santa brought me a gift on Christmas Eve!
Thanks so much for your kindness. I made a donation to Find A Grave in appreciation of your help.

Re Nathan Glowatz
I contacted the cemetery and found out that I made an error in the exact location of my uncle's grave. Nathan Glowatz is buried in:
Beth Yeshurun Post Oak Cemetery Section �C�, Lot 0059. Grave 003.
I had the wrong section in my notes. Hope you can find his grave now. I really appreciate your help with this. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for taking this picture. There might be a permanent marker there in a couple of months. If you happen to return to this cemetery for other photo requests please check for it and take a picture of it too if it wouldn't be too much trouble.
I don't know if you read his obit or not, but this man served in the Navy at the battle of Okinawa during WWII. He is a true American hero.
My father also served on this ship, but at a different time. I know of Mr. Bahme through the Laffey Association of which my father was also a member.
Thanks again!

The former Penn State president accused of covering up reports of sexual molestation by retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky earned $2.5 million in severance last year, the school said Wednesday. Graham Spanier's total taxable income was $3.3 million in 2011, the university said. That included $700,000 in salary, $83,000 in taxable benefits and the severance money, which will be paid by 2017, the school said. Spanier was forced out of the job after Sandusky was arrested on child molestation charges. He said he was not aware the school had made his earnings public, and declined to comment. He remains a tenured faculty member but is on leave. Spanier was charged four weeks ago with engaging in an alleged cover-up of abuse committed by Sandusky. Spanier and co-defendants Gary Schultz and Tim Curley are asking to postpone their Dec. 13 preliminary hearing. Their recent court filings have focused on the role played by former university chief counsel Cynthia Baldwin, and a...

Bleeding during pregnancy is relatively common, with around 1 in 10 women experiencing some bleeding.
However, if you have bleeding at any stage during your pregnancy, you should always contact your doctor immediately. It is not often caused by something serious, but it is very important to make sure. Lie down and rest until you can see a healthcare professional, and do not take any medication while you are waiting.
In early pregnancy, you might get some light bleeding, called 'spotting', when the fetus plants itself into the wall of your womb. This is also known as implantation bleeding, and often happens around the time that your first period after conception would have been due.
During the first three months of pregnancy, vaginal bleeding can be a sign of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy (when the fetus starts to grow inside your fallopian tubes instead of your womb). Most miscarriages occur during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, and sadly, most cannot be prevented. Ectopic pregnancies are much less common than miscarriages, and only affect approximately one in 100 pregnancies.
In the later stages of pregnancy, vaginal bleeding can have many different causes. Some of the more common causes are listed below.
Cervical ectropion - this is where there are harmless changes in the neck of the womb ( cervix). Cervical ectropion is the most common cause of bleeding during the later stages of pregnancy.
A 'show' - this occurs when a plug of mucus from the cervix comes away just before labor. It can look like a lump of discharge and may be blood -stained, and if it happens before you are due to give birth, it might be a sign of early labor.
Placental abruption - this is a serious condition in which the placenta starts to come away from the inside of the womb wall. Placental abruption usually causes stomach pain, even if there is no bleeding. If it happens close to your baby's due date, your baby may be delivered early.
Placenta praevia - this occurs when the placenta lies low in the womb, partially or completely blocking the baby's path to the cervix. The placenta usually moves gradually upwards during pregnancy, but if it is still low when the baby is due to be born, you might need to have a caesarean section.
Miscarriage - vaginal bleeding in the later stages of pregnancy can also be a sign of a miscarriage. However, a miscarriage is very uncommon after the third month of pregnancy.
To work out what is causing bleeding, you may need to have a vaginal or pelvic examination, an ultrasound scan, or blood tests to check your hormone levels.
Your doctor will also ask you about other symptoms, such as cramp, pain, and dizziness, and what foods, medication and exercise you have been taking recently.
If your symptoms are not severe and your baby is not due for a while, you will be monitored and, in some cases, kept in hospital for observation. You might have to stay in overnight, or until the birth, depending on the cause of the bleeding and how far you are into your pregnancy. This will enable staff to keep an eye on you and your baby so that they can act quickly if there are any further problems.
Further information:
A week-by-week guide to your pregnancy
There is another type of bleeding that can happen earlier in the pregnancy called Subchorionic Bleeding. Although, as stated above, all bleeding needs to be reported to your OB, this type of condition often goes away and doesn't become a problem to the fetus.
All my best!

It looks as though the Federal Communications Commission is ready to dive back into the net neutrality debate. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced Wednesday the agency is ready to move forward with plans to overhaul rules that govern the way Internet service providers handle online traffic.
Wheeler's announcement comes on the heels of a D.C. appeals court ruling last month that overturned the agency's standing net neutrality rules because, according to the panel, they were too ambitious.
That decision stated the FCC treated Internet service providers in much the same fashion as older telephone companies, which operate under heavy government oversight. The FCC has said it will not appeal the ruling, opting instead to revisit its current open-Internet guidelines – including a new approach to rules that prevent Internet companies from blocking or otherwise limiting online access.
Wheeler said the agency will also will seek to increase the level of transparency surrounding providers' management of network traffic – though some critics argue that enforcing the "transparency" provisions will prove difficult, since providers negotiate agreements that, so far, have never been opened to government scrutiny.

Comfortable and convenient, especially if you're catching an early-morning flight or you need a break from driving before heading south to the beach, this five-story contemporary Hilton has all the mod cons, including Wi-Fi, high-definition TVs, MP3 players, microwaves, and fridges. Best of all are the adjustable beds. There is also a large swimming pool and a business center. It's hard to imagine how the hotel can fill its 169 rooms, except of course for those nights when flights are canceled or delayed out of the Liberia airport. To its credit, the hotel has embraced energy conservation and earned three leaves on the national sustainability scale.

This hotel is all about proximity to the LIR airport; it is a bit isolated from anywhere else. They have a good shuttle, it's very modern and comfortable, and the Solid rental car office in the lobby is very convenient. It is a bit pricey for the location, and the amenities are nice, but underused by most, I suspect.

Good if you have clearance
Reviewer: A viewer from BYFORD, WESTERN AUSTRALIA AUS
Having a 4x4 off road wagon with lifted suspension, carrying two or more mountain bikes can be a pain. We got around our problem by using a 7x5 trailer with roof rack bars mounted on it, with these bike racks in turn attached to them. This allows access to the back of the vehicle through the tailgate without having to lift the bikes off the rack first. The tilt type racks can give problems with having to take the weight of the bikes whilst operating the latch and then having to reach over the bikes to get in. It also allows us to carry other gear in the trailer as well. We can fit four bikes across the width of the trailer and they have been carried over rough off bitumen tracks without damage. Great for those long weekend, camp out, mountain bike treks. The 594XT is easy to fit, if you can construct flat pack furniture and they can handle most bike configurations as we have carried road racing bikes, 30 speed full suspension alloy mountain bikes, even kids street bikes. Good racks for a standard vehicle if you have enough overhead clearance when bikes are loaded.
Nice Rack, Slow Shipping
Reviewer: A viewer from SPRING HILL, FL USA
I bought this here because it was on sale for the lowest price I could find on the internet at the time. Took exactly two weeks to from the day I ordered it till the day it arrived at my door. Found out during a live chat it was "in stock" at "another location" and that I should still receive it within their "10 day shipping window. Might want to check availability before ordering.

Yay this is my first trip report. It was also my daughter's first visit to Disneyland/DCA,she is 2 1/2. My wife and I have been to Disneyland many times, we always become kids ourselves. So it was going to be interesting to have our daughter there and us focused on her. Our visit started on Oct 10 - 13th, Halloween Time was in full effect and we learn our daughter loves Halloween during this visit.
This was a last minute trip so I was not able to get reservations at an on park resort for a price we could afford; normally we stay DL Hotel or Paradise Pier. Leaving the park and going out into the "real" world, you do lose that emersion and it brings you back to reality. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza on Harbor in Garden Grove. The hotel was clean, the staff friendly and helpful. I think the only issue we had, only a small one, is the shuttle that goes between. People always make a mad dash, there are no lines or courtesy if you have been waiting a half an hour and they just showed up. I give the hotel a 4 out of 5 rating. No Disney touches which I missed, but for value and for being clean I give it high marks.
My daughter was all about meeting princesses! So Disney Princess' Fantasy Faire was almost a daily must, even with the hour long wait. But the five minutes and the pictures we got each time are priceless. We found this attraction completely by mistake; I felt it is too hidden as it is off the hub and not in Fantasyland. We also did Pixie Hollow on our one Magical Mornings and nobody was in line, another great photo op for a girl crazy about meeting characters. While standing in line for Rapunzel, I noticed the roofs of the buildings in Fantasyland are in bad shape. My camera was low on photos and so I did not take pictures. King Arthur Carrousel's did not finish it's refurbishments in time for our visit, we were a bit sad at this because I realized most of the dark rides in Fantasyland are SCARY! My poor daughter was all excited to see Peter Pan, and to Boo Captain Hood. But once inside the ride she would face plant into our sides scared. However Dumbo and Tea Cups restored her love of Disneyland.
I was able to take a break, during Mimi's naps, take hit some of the adult rides like Pirates and Haunted Mansion. On Sunday I went to Haunted Mansion and even with about a 45 min wait the line never seemed to stop. Pirates moved so fast it was only a 15 min wait so I was able to hit both. Both are still just as magical as ever, I love the Nightmare Before Xmas overlay.
This was our first trip since the redo of DCA. In a way I like the changes, in other ways I miss the old one. I miss the Golden Gate Bridge, however love Cars Land. Not sure about the trolley's, they seem to do more harm to traffic flow than good. My daughter had to watch the Disney Junior program every day, she loves Sophia! I had Tower of Terror ruined for me a bit, a group of loud teens talk so loudly you couldn't hear the spiel and it did not get me in mood. Also what they were talking about was not Disney friendly. Others complained but the ride operators did not intervene.
We did a dining option at the Wine Country Trattoria to get a fastpass to World of Color. It was worth it! WOW WoC is now one of our favorite things to do besides the fireworks. However it will feel like you are buying a fastpass and they are giving you a meal. Check which one is the cheapest; Ariel's Grotto was probably close to double WCT.
We did the Plaza Inn Breakfast with Minnie. Mimi got to see her beloved Minnie Mouse and she talked about it all day and ever since. It was worth it to see her eyes light up when Minnie came to see her. She also found a new friend, Chip from Chip and Dale played with her and she now loves anything to do with Chip and Dale. Plaza Inn also still has the best fried chicken! We would eat lunch there to give us a boost to keep us going until fireworks. However as with all things, the price has jumped a bit. But there was usually enough food for two of us.
The Good:
Loved how the characters made my daughter fall in love with Disneyland
Halloween Time is a great time to go, however this was over Columbus Day so it was busy
Weather was warm during the days, no rain; however very cool at night
World of Color a new family favorite
The Bad:
This weekend was packed, but I knew that going in
Some of the park has not yet recovered from a busy summer and so some things need a bit of paint or repaired
Luigi's Tire Ride has is very slow air flow and the beach balls are gone, not very fun
Fastpass seems to be dying, never got a ride fastpass as they have been removed or closed
The Tired: (Nothing was Ugly so I had to change this)
While I love the 50th Anniversary Fireworks, it still is the same show now 9 years running
Frontierland, nothing has changed and I feel it is a wasted space
Jungle Cruise need better guides, the two we had were nothing more than tape recorders and boring!
And Lastly the Sad:
Tomorrowland is turning into Star Wars Land. While I love Star Wars, does everything need to be sacrificed in Tomorrowland to pay off the purchase price of Lucasarts? My daughter will never remember she went on Autotopia or that she ate at the Spaceport and not the cantina from Star Wars?? I admit that there is room for some Star Wars; Star Tours is great but just sad it seems it will be too much. Who else sees Space Mountain re-themed as a X-Wing ride?

It makes a fight over everything. It is insatiable in its quest for wealth and power. It appeals to the worst in people, to hatred and fear. It divides groups of Americans against each other. It preys on the vulnerable and serves the privileged. And it lies in virtually all it says.
The once-respectable Republican Party has been hijacked in our times by a sick and broken spirit that damages everything it touches.
In this profound crisis, there is also an opportunity to see and to understand the workings of destructive forces that arise in civilized societies and that must be countered effectively if we —Americans, humankind —are to create a future we want.

Exploring Digital Communication
Language in Action
By Caroline Tagg
Routledge – 2015 – 292 pages
Routledge – 2015 – 292 pages
Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics is a series of introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied Linguistics, primarily designed for those beginning postgraduate studies or taking an introductory MA course, as well as advanced undergraduates. Titles in the series are also ideal for language professionals returning to academic study.
The books take an innovative 'practice to theory' approach, with a 'back-to-front' structure. This leads the reader from real-world problems and issues, through a discussion of intervention and how to engage with these concerns, before finally relating these practical issues to theoretical foundations.
Exploring Digital Communication aims to discuss real-world issues pertaining to digital communication, and to explore how linguistic research addresses these challenges. The text is divided into three sections (Problems and practices; Interventions; and Theory), each of which is further divided into two subsections which reflect linguistic issues relating to digital communication.
The author seeks to demystify any perceived divide between online and offline communication, arguing that issues raised in relation to digital communication throw light on language use and practices in general, and thus linguistic interventions in this area have implications not only for users of digital communication but for linguists' general understanding of language and society.
Including relevant research examples, tasks and a glossary, this textbook is an invaluable resource for postgraduate and upper undergraduate students taking New Media or Communication Studies modules within Applied Linguistics and English Language courses.

Im just trying to make sure I have all my ducks in a row here, so I appologize if this is a redundant question. Which recovery are we supposed to use?? In the Sprint development forum there is a tethered version of CMW. Do we use that?? Or, is there something included in the FreeGee exploit? Or even still, do we just use the stock recovery?
Just so I am clear you arent able to see the fastboot options because of LG's doing right? Not because of the exploit made here? Or was it because of the exploit and that was just an unfortunate side effect of doing it this way that would be fixable in a future update?

-Dave, September 2013
In addition to the great Windows 8 Camps and MSDN Metro Style Dev Webcasts there are some additional free events coming your way! The Metro Accelerator Labs are free, three day events designed to ramp you up on what it means to write a Metro Style App for Windows 8 and Windows Phone.
If you are a developer that has been tinkering with an app this is your opportunity to create something amazing. These will be three full days of lab time so be prepared to code and bring your laptop! If you don't have the Windows 8 Consumer Preview or Developer Tools installed be sure to get them.
This is what the day will look like:
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
There are going to be four events happening on the East Coast US:
May 30 – June 1 Tampa, FL Register
June 5-7 Alpharetta, GA Register
June 6-8 Waltham, MA Register
June 11-13 Orlando, FL (at TechEd) Open to all TechEd Attendees – just drop in!
Can't make it to any of the official Windows 8 Camps?
No worries! Microsoft is hosting an online Webcast series devoted to Windows 8 Metro Style App Development.
Here is the full schedule via Jaime…
Monday May 14th, 2012 8:30 AM PST Introduction to the Windows 8 platform and the Windows store Jennifer Marsman Windows 8 is Windows re-imagined! Join this session to learn about the new platform for building Metro-style applications. Get an understanding of the platform design tenets, the programming language choices, and the integration points with the operating system and across Metro-style apps. We will also discuss the enormous opportunity for developers to make crazy money with the Windows Store. You will walk away with the resources to begin writing Metro applications for Windows 8.
Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 8:30 AM PST Designing apps with Metro style principles and the Windows personality Chris Bernard Metro style design has a set of five guiding principles to help you make the best choices when designing your app. These principles are the foundation for building great Metro style apps. Consider these principles as you plan your app, and always ensure your design and development choices live up to these principles.
Monday, May 21, 2012 8:30 AM PST Building Metro style apps with XAML: What .NET developers need to know John Wiese
If you are experienced with .NET or Silverlight and are already familiar with XAML, this session will teach you everything you need to know to create a Metro style app for Windows 8. This session will cover updates to familiar features and explore concepts that are new for Windows 8. We'll talk about building reusable Windows Runtime Components in C#, Async programming in Windows 8 and both the Visual Studio and Expression designers. This session will show you how to turn your XAML skills into money-making Metro style apps.
Wednesday May 23, 2012 8:30 AM PST What HTML developers need to know about coding Windows 8 Metro style apps Michael Palermo This session is perfect for any web developer wanting to leverage his/her skillset to develop Windows 8 Metro style apps. The session begins by proving how much web developers already know about building apps for Windows 8. The focus then turns to how to write JavaScript code with WinJS. Key points for Metro style app development will be highlighted by implementing popular feature requests using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
Thursday, May 31, 2012 8:30 AM PST Win as One: How Contracts in Windows 8 Help You Build a Killer Metro App G. Andrew Duthie Contracts are agreements between Windows and your Metro style app that allow you to integrate Windows 8 features into your app. For example, Windows 8 lets users share content from one application to another by using the Share contract.
In this session, you'll learn how contracts work and how to implement the built-in contracts such as Search, Share, Settings, and More. With Contracts, you can help users get more out of your app, and in a way that is consistent and intuitive, and they will reward you by coming back to your app again and again.
Monday, June 4th, 2012 8:30 AM PST Bring Your Windows 8 Metro Style Apps to Life with Tiles and Notifications Chris Bowen
Tiles and Notifications are important ways to draw attention to your app and improve your users' experiences. Tiles can draw users back into your app when your tile comes to life on Start screen. They can also let users personalize their Start screen by creating deep links to specific places within your app. Notifications, delivered through the Windows Push Notification Service, can inform and draw your users back into your app even when it's not running. In this session, you will learn how to effectively implement Tiles and Notifications to help your apps shine.
Finally, I'll be wrapping up the event with a session on building Metro Style App Casual Games.
Wednesday, June 6th, 2012 8:30:00 AM PST Building Windows 8 Metro style casual games using HTML 5 David Isbitski The intent of this session is to help HTML5/JavaScript developers with writing their first Metro Style App in a fun, immersive way. We will cover the basics of HTML5 Canvas gaming and how we can easily bring it to Windows 8. We will then add additional game functionality as we introduce HTML5 Audio, CSS3 styling and web fonts, implementing a game loop with JavaScript, 3rd party frameworks, touch, camera, accelerometer, and WInJS controls.

Hope to see you there!
I am excited to announce I will be a speaker at the upcoming Reasons to be Creative festival in NYC this June. This festival has some of the most amazing creative artists, designers and coders in the industry all coming together to share their passion. I'll be covering how you can use your existing HTML and JavaScript skills to create Windows 8 apps for the new Windows Store.
Space Cadet is a Windows 8 Metro Style App developed using HTML5 and JavaScript. The intent of this session is to help HTML5/JavaScript developers with writing their first Metro Style App in a fun, immersive way. The code for the game will be distributed during the session, and developers will be able to freely re-use the code in future apps. Space Cadet starts out as small game with a functional game loop. Functionality is added to the game, as each new topic is introduced, including:
The session ends with HTML5/JavaScript developers having a baseline knowledge to build their own Windows 8 apps sell them in the new Windows Store. Plus... there will be giveaways!
I have recently been coding a Windows 8 Metro Style App using the new Windows 8 Release Preview bits and Visual Studio Express 2012 RC. The app is going to be a retro shooter that takes advantage of HTML5 Canvas for the main game engine and then several Windows 8 Metro Style App Features.
I wanted to add Touch Support to the game enabling players to use their fingers to destroy the on screen ships. This meant supporting multiple fingers on screen at the same time as well still supporting mouse for players who did not own a touch device. Thankfully this is super easy to do via the MSPointer API's!
These API's will handle all touch and mouse events thus simplifying the events you need to handle.
You can also handle Gestures such as Tap Events using the following:
For my game I chose to handle the MSPointerUp event. This means that any time a user taps the screen with a finger (or clicks the mouse button) when they release an event will fire off. These events will pass along the x and y locations that they touched. It is important to keep in mind that a user will be able to drag their finger around without the event being registered. We only handle the x and y locations when they finally remove their finger "up" from the screen.
The first thing I did was to tell my application which element to monitor touch events on. My game is entirely HTML5 Canvas based (more on canvas game development to come) so I handled all touch events on the Canvas like this:
//Handle Touch
canvas.addEventListener("MSPointerUp", touchHandler, false);
Once the player fires off the event I call a custom touchHandler function like so:
//Verify if point was within the bounds of an actual ship
function touchHandler(event) {
for (var i = 0; i < MAX_SHIPS; i++) {
var ship = ships[i];
if (shipHit(ship.x, ship.y, event.x, event.y)) {
ships[i] = destroyShip(ship);
This function loops through all of the Ship objects I have on screen and compares their current x and y coordinates to the x and y coordinates of the touch. If it finds that the touch was inside the bounds of a ship it marks that ship for destruction. The destroyShip function runs through an animation of the ship blowing up over a pre-determined amount of frames (currently 12).
If you are curious about what each of these Ship objects look like here is the function I created to track all of their state:
function Ship(MAX_X, MAX_Y, MIN_ACCEL, MAX_ACCEL, LVL_MULTIPLY) {
this.x = Math.random() * MAX_X;
this.y = Math.random() * MAX_Y;
var speed = randomRanged(MIN_ACCEL, MAX_ACCEL);
var extra = speed * LVL_MULTIPLY;
this.accel = speed + extra;
this.img = new Image();
this.img.src = randomImg();
this.destroyed = false;
this.destroyRendered = 0;
function randomRanged(a, b) {
return (Math.floor(Math.random() * (1 + b - a))) + a;
function randomImg() {
var images = Array(3);
//TODO: new ship artwork
images[0] = "/images/ship.png";
images[1] = "/images/ship1.png";
images[2] = "/images/ship2.png";
images[3] = "/images/ship3.png";
var ran = randomRanged(0, 3);
return images[ran];
This is what the shipHit function looks like:
//Verify pixels clicked by pointer are within bounds of a ship's drawn pixels
function shipHit(shipX, shipY, x, y) {
var maxX = shipX + SHIP_WIDTH;
var maxY = shipY + SHIP_HEIGHT;
if (x >= shipX && x <= maxX && shipX >= 0 && y >= shipY && y <= maxY) {
return true;
else {
return false;
Finally, here is the destroyShip function:
function destroyShip(ship) {
var r = randomAccel(0, 2);
var laserSound = lasers[r];
SoundJS.play(laserSound, SoundJS.INTERRUPT_ANY);
//TODO: Animation Explosion and better sound
var explosion = new Image();
explosion.onload = function () {
ctx.drawImage(explosion, ship.x, ship.y);
explosion.src = "/images/explosion.png";
ship.img = explosion;
ship.destroyed = true;
return ship;
That's it! Whether a user is touching the screen with all ten fingers or simply clicking with a mouse all of these events are handled for me. Of course using more fingers on screen will make the game easier so I may want to add a difficulty mode to the games options at some point.
Now what if you don't have a Touch Enabled device to test your app out on? Thankfully Visual Studio 11 offers a robust Simulator that in addition to offering you the ability to run your app at different resolutions comes with some handy Touch emulation features. Select Simulator as your Debug target from the menu and start debugging.
Once you see your emulator running click on the Hand Icon on the top right.
Your mouse pointer will now turn into a targeting reticle that will pass Touch Events across instead of Mouse Clicks!
While it doesn't give the ability currently to do Multiple Touch points it will be enough for you to test your Touch Event Handlers and verify your code is working.
I hope this post has given you an idea of how easy it is to include Touch in your Metro Style Apps using the MSPointer API's.
If you are currently working on a Windows 8 app and want to get into the Windows Store I would love to hear about it! You may also want to check out my previous Windows 8 Metro Style Development Tips:

Two Cheers For Negative ThinkingSubmitted by MLewyn on Thu, 04/17/2014 - 10:41am
I recently read an article suggesting that Cleveland's problems were in part due to "negative thinking"- some fuzzy "vibe of negativity" that discourages people from moving to Cleveland. I am skeptical of this claim for two reasons.
Suburbia Not Always CheaperSubmitted by MLewyn on Fri, 04/04/2014 - 9:28am
A story from a coworker of mine: Mr. X (the coworker) and his family move from Queens to Long Island to take advantage of the allegedly better public schools. As a result, they are able to save money by pulling their children out of Catholic school. Were they better off? Apparently not. Mr. X explains that what they saved in tuition was more than balanced over time by the cost of having to have a car for every adult, and later for every teenager.
Auto-Oriented Transit in IsraelSubmitted by MLewyn on Wed, 04/02/2014 - 11:30pm
Tonight I saw lawyer Kevin Dwarka speak on smart growth in Israel, focusing on the weaknesses of Israel's railway system. Although Israel's major cities have rail service, that nation's major rail stations are a classic example of auto-oriented transit: stations surrounded by huge parkiing lots instead of housing and shopping.
The "Cheap Cars" MythSubmitted by MLewyn on Thu, 03/06/2014 - 2:47pm
One sprawl lobby argument I have occasionally is heard: "So what if people have to drive to reach jobs in sprawling areas? Used cars are so cheap that even poor people can afford them!"
Always Room For MoreSubmitted by MLewyn on Mon, 03/03/2014 - 1:38pm
One common argument against infill: "but there isn't room for any more people!" (or, alternatively, "we can't have more people without turning into a skyscraper monoculture!"
Manhattan is far from a skyscraper monoculture- even in midtown there are lots of 2-6 story buildings of all types. And yet our housing density is 70,000 people per square mile- more than four times that of San Francisco, more than seven times that of Washington.
In other words, at Manhattan densities San Francisco could accommodate more than 3 million people.

Presidential heroes of urbanismSubmitted by MLewyn on Mon, 02/17/2014 - 10:18pm
Since the weekend that just ended was Presidents' weekend, I thought now would be a good time to acknowledge some especially pro-urban Presidents. I don't plan to focus on their actual policies (a complicated topic, and one not very relevant to most pre-New Deal presidencies) but on their post-White House personal lives. The majority of Presidents have retired to resorts, estate-home suburbia, or (in the 18th and 19th century) country plantations.
However, I would like to honor a few exceptions to this rule:
Steps vs. The ElderlySubmitted by MLewyn on Wed, 02/12/2014 - 12:44am
I am currently reading White Flight/Black Flight by Rachael Woldoff of West Virginia University. The book discusses a neighborhood at the edge of a northern city (Philadelphia, I suspect) which was overwhelmingly Jewish as late as 1990, and became black in the 1990s. One area of interest to new urbanists is its discussion of white "stayers" - elderly people who are not at all displeased with integration. What drives them out is not crime or social disorder, but steps.
Some Cities Have More Children Than Their SuburbsSubmitted by MLewyn on Fri, 02/07/2014 - 4:51pm
Today, I read a blog post by Joel Kotkin asserting, for the umpteeth time, that famlies with children prefer suburbs. But at the bottom of the post is a chart comparing the child population (as a percentage of total population) for dozens of cities and their suburbs.
Looking at another Republican Governor's Transit RecordSubmitted by MLewyn on Thu, 02/06/2014 - 11:14am
A few weeks ago I posted an entry on transit ridership under several Republican governors who might be running for President; since most governors are judged based on one or two high-profile decisions (e.g.

Hey J.L.
Thanks for the note and encouragement my man. I really appreciate that you have digested so much of our video and story!
I wanted Ali to jump in to get you answers as quickly as possible. My typical day is nuts.
Colorado is awesome. I have ridden in and around Gunnison Nat'l park and the riding was spectacular. Marshall McClure passes etc.
Thanks for the geek nod. Any feedback is always welcomed.
Be well. Ride hard. Ride safe.

Product knowledge is essential and I do really have to KNOW about things as technology in our industry is changing daily.
You take it to another level though when it comes to GEEK though - I stand in awe
Enough pandering though, here's a couple of questions for you sir
1) Since you have an amazing amount of perspective from ACTUALLY doing a jump off in Pine Top, AZ and we know what kind of jacket and pants you were wearing (FG Ranier) and we know you had such a conviction about your Sidi Adventure Rains to produce a separate video about that boot....... What jacket in the 350-500 range would you think is best for protection in an serious ADV environment like we have here in Colorado?
2) When do we get the next jump off story say from Colorado about the new Rev It Horizon jacket and pant combo?
3) When will Revzilla get the new Gaerne G-Midlands ADV boot followed with appropriate crazy detail review
blessings and would love to know!!!

NEWPORT CITY – Cleanup crews were busy Friday removing asbestos flooring at the Orleans County District Courthouse. Friday was a regular furlough day for court staff so court was not in session.
The tiles were in the lobby area of the courthouse, Al Simard, district facility manager for Buildings and General Services, said. The lobby is the only place in the building with asbestos tiles.
"We're going to get the asbestos out of the way because it's hazardous," he said. The state will probably replace the flooring with carpeting. "The least expensive thing we can do."
NEWPORT, VT - "When I first met my wife she was sitting right over there in the corner," Roger Cartee of Newport said as he toured the building, located on Central Street in Newport, which at one time housed the Express and Standard newspaper and later the Newport Daily Express. "She worked here in the main office and I was a part-time sports writer."
NEWPORT CITY – Four city residents are facing off at a chance to win one of two seats on the Newport City Council. Incumbents John Wilson and Tim de la Bruere are going up against Mark Guyette and Peter Holden.
Tim de la Bruere
De la Bruere is seeking his third two-year seat. He likes the council because there are no political lines. Instead, it is five "everyday people" in the city who come together to deal with municipal issues.Â
NEWPORT, VT - The School-Based Enterprise (SBE) at North Country Career Center of Newport, VT, was among 137 school stores in the United States achieving Gold Level Certification (or Gold Level Re-certification) this year and will be recognized at DECA's International Career Development Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The students who worked on the certification were senior Alisha Duncan, juniors Tyler Paxman and Aidan Smith, assisted by advisors Sue Birchard and Lydia Alexander.
EAST BURKE–The North Country Nordic girls closed out the regular season on a high note, taking first overall at the Lyndon Institute hosted race on the Kingdom Trails of Burke Mountain.
Haley-Jo Tetreault and Lindsay Cotnoir were neck and neck battling for second place, and it was Tetreault who edged out Cotnoir by two seconds, finishing with a time of 22:03.
Senior Erika Fortin's 24:00 was good enough for seventh place, and she was followed by a pair of sophomores, Adele Woodmansee in tenth, and Jane Dandurand in eleventh.
MANSONVILLE, QUE - One of the three active churches in Potton Township was seriously damaged Wednesday morning after a fire broke out in its steeple. Around 8:30 a.m., a passerby happened to notice smoke billowing out of the steeple of the St-Cajetan Catholic Church, which was rebuilt following a fire in 1950. The passerby called the local fire department.
The church is on Principale Street.
DERBY – Youngsters visiting the Orleans County Fair Grounds in Barton this summer will have an opportunity to learn where food comes from thanks to two mini barns built by North Country Career Center Building Trades Students. The class will build two additional ones.
The building trades class, which consists of North Country Union High School and Lake Region Union High School students, meets at the North Country land lab in Derby.
NEWPORT CITY – The North Country Union High School Board has started the process of finding a new director for North Country Career Center.
Director Richard Hoffman handed in his resignation to the Human Resources Committee last week. The full board approved it at the Tuesday meeting. Hoffman will continue to serve the career center until June 30.

"You can't get to the station from a Hubble orbit. It is physically impossible. Commit to Hubble, you are going to Hubble. Or you are coming home. Without a safe haven how long can you stay airborne, while you are trying to fix whatever problem you have? If it's not fixable, obviously you want a rescue capability. How quickly can you get that there?"
The crew would depend on very basic repair methods if it found damage to the space shuttle while orbiting Earth.
Griffin, NASA's administrator, says his agency has learned much about inspecting for damage in the last three flights.
He is also confident NASA officials have solved the problem of foam shedding from the external tank.
A 1.67-pound piece of foam was determined to be the cause of the Columbia accident. The foam punctured a hole in Columbia's wing, allowing hot gases to penetrate the orbiter when it re-entered Earth's atmosphere, and triggering its destruction.
NASA has not been able to develop a repair method to fix a hole of that size on the orbiter should one be found on a future flight.
Milt Heflin was the lead flight director at the Johnson Space Center for the first Hubble servicing mission in December 1993. He says there is one picture from Hubble he cannot forget.
"It is the picture after the very first servicing mission. And it is the picture in the area of the Big Dipper -- that is the area where the handle and the Big Dipper comes together. It is an area if you stick your finger out, is the tip of your finger, is the size of the area Hubble is looking at where the handle and the Dipper comes together."
"What did Hubble see? Hubble saw hundreds, maybe even thousands of galaxies. Galaxies! We live in a galaxy. We are the star and the sun and planets around it. How arrogant of us to believe that we are it in this universe?"
Every day, the Hubble archives 3 gigabytes to 5 gigabytes of data and delivers between 10 gigabytes and 15 gigabytes to astronomers all over the world.
Hubble's gigabytes divulge precious information, and Hubble's images capture our imagination.

|The arthritic pain experience of children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
|Riding, S. Barbara
|Master of Nursing - MSN
|Copyright Date:
|Subject Keywords
|Arthritis, Juvenile Rheumatoid; Rheumatoid arthritis in children; Pain -- Infant, Newborn; Pain -- Child; Pain -- Child, Preschool; Pain -- Infant; Pain in children
|This study was designed to investigate the experience of having arthritic pain from the children's perspective. Previous research on how Canadian children perceive and manage arthritic pain and how it affects their daily lives is nonexistent. Therefore the purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore and describe the arthritic pain experience of school age children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and to understand the impact/influence of various factors on the construction of that experience. Ten children, aged 10 to 13 years, with either early (at 2 to 4 years) or late (at 7 to 11 years) onset arthritis participated in this study. Descriptive data were obtained during two open-ended in depth interviews with the children in their homes. Using content analysis, data were analyzed for themes and their elements. An analytical framework of themes and their elements was developed that reflected the children's descriptions of and explanations for arthritic pain in the context of their day to day in the context of their day to day living with arthritis, both in the past and currently. The children perceived pain to be synonymous with arthritis and the mediating factor in how they functioned. They described arthritic pain in relation to distinguishing factors: intensity, duration, and frequency. Intermittent arthritic pain was attributed to cessation of medications, arthritis "flare-ups," inactivity, and activity. A current concern for most children was pain attributed to activity because it meant limitations in activities with peers. The children identified strategies they used to manage pain and cope with pain's unpredictability. The findings of this study were discussed in relation to selected research studies that either supported or refuted the findings of this study. Implications for nursing practice and research were addressed.

I am very satisfied with Hahnemuhle Ingres (German Ingres). Black. 95 gm/m2. I got it from Daniel Smith Art.
As part of the "mission" of The Light Farm, I'm always on the lookout for the materials we need that cross-purpose from other fields. If I have any say in the matter, handmade silver gelatin emulsions will be make'able forever, with little to fear from disappearing materials. Beyond the sensitizing chemistry for modern color films, silver nitrate seems to be the one and only real issue, and that even can be made from basic components (note: I am absolutely not recommending that for the amateur.)
But, back to the paper. I also have many hundreds of feet of the the paper used for film backing (got it from a film company in Hollywood.) Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with your address and I'll send you a length of it to try. I think you'll enjoy making your own film. Very satisfyingingly cool.
p.s. One minor issue with diy roll film is that the backing paper isn't as lightproof at the edges as commercial rolled film. I recommend changing film in very subdued light. With the Hahnmuhle, make that very, very subdued light.

Andre Schiffrin, founder of The New Press, argues that media conglomeration has led to the death of serious reportage in the United States. The author presents his thoughts on the current state of the American media and posits different models that may resurrect, what he believes, is a flawed industry.

I recently read an article on Forbes.com about the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur's spouse or significant other. It brought me back to my own entrepreneurial endeavors and reminded me of a few coping mechanisms my wife of now 23 years and I picked up along the way.
You don't need to spend countless hours in a classroom, or have an MBA to become a successful entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs often don't have the time or patience to sit through a semester long class or six-week course in order to retrieve the answer to a question they have now--today. They need help quickly and efficiently. And this is where our idea for Founders School started.
Next week will witness the launch of a new and engaging learning initiative known as the Icehouse Entrepreneurship Program. Recognizing our nation's need for greater economic participation at all levels of society, the Icehouse Entrepreneurship Program captures and conveys the "mindset" of entrepreneurs who overcame adversity and are now helping lead our economic recovery.
The videos for today feature Canada and Malaysia.

What do financial planning, synthetic crude oil, and campaign building have in common? They're the focus of three entrepreneurs who have recently graduated from the Kauffman Global Scholars Program.
As readers of e360 may know, I travel a bit – about 100,000 miles a year to be specific. In traveling this much, I have learned the survival skill of going on what I call "autopilot" mode. I can do the flight check-in, security screening,...
As a father of three, I vividly remember those chilly, early-summer mornings of packing bags, loading up the car, and waving a sad goodbye as my children began their latest adventure at the summer camp of choosing. And there were plenty of those mornings over the course of 18 years. There was volleyball camp, and Science Olympiad clinics, and lacrosse camp.
When I was a wee lad in the ancient times of the 1970s, I remember an old commercial for Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pops that asked how many licks it takes to get to the center of their delicious lollipops. At the Foundation we are posing a similar question with a modern, caffeinated, twist and applying it to a slightly more constructive purpose.

I've responded to the topics in HQ.
Cracking finish from Yilmaz
They do have Mario now. And already have players like Robinho, El Shaarawy, Pazzini, Muntari, Niang, Krkic. All hot prospects but i don't understand how in the hell they had the worst start in the league since 1941
I was looking Milan's line up and i'm surprised that with these players the can't do anything in Italy. They still have an awesome roster. I mean yeah i can't see them winning Barca or qualifying but i can see a lot of future for this team in the coming years.
Same thing goes for Galata excellent roster they should be a beast of a team. Total different team from the one we saw in the group stage
Without Mario can you see Milan doing something?
