Online 'App Store' and International Distribution Q's
by roktheworld27, Window Shopper
- Created: January 8, 2013, 4:19 pm
Currently looking into starting some sort of mobile application distribution source, where apps can be bought and sold. Have a lot of questions about international sale of apps, such as charging for taxes in other countries, complying with sanctions, etc etc, a nice explanation or a link clarifying all of these things would be appreciated. Thanks.

11:02ish To Blake and Dan: A Song For You.
11:02 Blake: Down with our dictator!
11:02 Dan: Kevin sucks.
10:57 If I was a petty man, I'd be gloating about out-predicting all of my co-writers at Country Universe. Wait a minute. I am a petty man. I won! Yes! I won! This country universe is mine. Y'all just live in it. Suckers. (Except for you Leeann. You didn't get all up in my grill, talking smack before the throwdown. You're cool.)
10:56 ENTERTAINER – Kenny Chesney
10:54 Standing O for Shania. Good God, she's beautiful. Welcome home.
10:50 So the only artist I see live who charges Eagles prices is Madonna, and I have to say that if she just stood there and growled, I'd feel ripped off. Come on, guys. Slap on some heels. Throw in some synchronized dancing. Jump some rope. Rub up against something. You're supposed to be legends.
10:49 Dan: Once again, a washed up rock act gives us one of the better performances of the night. I like the Eagles, but that's sad.
10:48 You know it's bad when you're hoping that Shania's the surprise guest because you want to see some real country stars.
10:46 Paisley's right about that. The Eagles have a lot more to do with country music today than most seventies country stars.

"What the heck is an Orange Onion?"
"What is OrangeOnions.com?"
"Who's that little orange guy?"
We're a website with a funny name, serious deals, thousands of products and a goal of 100% customer satisfaction!
And the little, orange onion? That's Oliver.
Here's the answers to everything you want to know about OrangeOnions.com, so take a break and learn more about us!
Our History...
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...Ok, it was actually Cleveland, Ohio. In his garage in 2007, our founder and CEO, to support his growing family while he was at Law School, started a small Amazon store with a dream. Our first product? A Mogu Dream Pillow. We then branched out to offering Littermaid, then all sorts of toys and housewares. The products kept getting more diverse (about as diverse as oranges and onions) and the deals kept getting better. Next thing you know, we had hundreds of products, then thousands.
Today, OrangeOnions is still calling Cleveland home, but we are a far cry from those garage days. Now, we're in over 110,000 square feet of office and warehouse space, spanning North Randall and Warrenville Heights, OH, with the goal of making brand-name, online discount shopping easier and providing excellent customer service to you! We've shipped hundreds of thousands of orders to happy bargain shoppers via safe browsing and checkout on OrangeOnions.com and at partner sites, like Amazon.
Thanks to our caring, knowledgeable staff and our customers, we are growing at a rapid pace with no sign of slowing down. For you, that means even more products and deals to come!
Orange Onions?? Who came up with that name?
Our founder loves onions. No, really, the guy eats raw onions any chance he gets and we've got an endless supply of mints just so we can handle talking to him. Like Popeye and spinach. But, the truth is, the name came about as he sat in that garage, trying to figure out what to call his new company. To stand out from the crowd, he needed a unique name. Something that would match the vision that he had of a deal site that was different from all the rest. He wanted something that would convey the message that although we are high volume, and awesome deals, we are a boutique style store, where we care about each and every customer, and we are now OrangeOnions! It's definitely a name you've never heard before, which works well for a company with products, deals and customer service that are truly unique to discount shopping.
We aren't one of those daily deal sites with only one product for sale a day. Sure, we've got the Deal of the Day, it's our featured product for the day at a deep discount and you have to be sure to check it out.
But take a look around, we've got thousands of products from toys to toasters and each one is a daily deal of itself! You'll find that our product selection is focused on home and garden, indoor and outdoor decor, toys, children's furniture, small kitchen appliances, office supplies...products you love at deals you can't resist! Everyday items and extraordinary gift ideas for any occasion. Pretty much anything you need or want for your family and household. All from brand names you trust, like Mattel, Hasbro, Kitchen Aid, Disney and Lego. Our goal is to have the lowest prices on the web! Remember, if you see something you like, don't wait too long. Our inventory turns quickly, and we rarely re-order. When it's gone, it's gone.
Everthing we sell on OrangeOnions is shipped from our headquarters by our caring warehouse staff. Not every site can say that. Some sites have their products in a random warehouse, they never see their product much less the people who are sending orders to their customers. We see our product and our awesome warehouse staff everyday.
When you see that box with the OrangeOnions.com logo on your front porch, you can know that your order was picked, packed and shipped by someone who truely cares that you have a great shopping experience with us.
We're a fun, family-oriented company and we like to think it shows in everything we do. You may notice that we don't have 24/7 customer service hours and there's a good reason for that. We value the time we spend with our families, it's at the foundation of our company. We're mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters. We do apologize for any inconvenience due to our 'business day' hours, but please know that it is important for our staff and their families. Know that we'll be back that next morning, that Monday, that day after the holiday, ready to serve you.
And We're Proud to Say...
We have a lot to be proud of, like being listed as one of the Top 500 'up-and-coming' retail sites on the web via Internet Retailer's Second 500 list for two years in a row. Being "A" rated with the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org). Being featured on thousands of the web's top deal sites and blogs, even a few morning TV shows. Being involved in our community, and to be able to give generously to a variety of charities. But our proudest moments happen every day when we read our customer reviews, that's what makes us know we're doing a good job.
So, now you know a little more about us than you did before. Now we would love to know more about you by friending us on Facebook or connecting on a personal level through any social media channel. We hope that you enjoy shopping with OrangeOnions!

The Gov does deserve a vacation just like all of do. But we are paying a big salary with staff for a Lt. Gov that is no where to be found. Get rid of the Lt. Gov. position we could use the mopney to keep more essential people on the payroll such as Cops, Fireman, Medics, Oh and maybe more SNOW PLOW OPERATORS!!!
What the hell difference does it make what race or color these "LOW LIFES" are they are scum and should spend the rest of their useless time on this earth locked away, and regardless of age we the puiblic should know who they are. I bet their famalies are really proud of them?
Lets see spend a bundle so that we (tax payers) can foot the bill for billions so that it will be easier for China to bring more products here at a cheaper price. In the near future we will all need stimulis money because there won't be any jobs!

While the mainstream media continues to fawn over Christopher Hill's efforts in the Six Party talks, John McCain sets out his own views on North Korea (and Asia more generally) in the Asian Wall Street Journal. While much of the piece contains relatively familiar words of support for free trade and strengthening existing alliances, this jumps out:
We must use the leverage available from the U.N. Security Council resolution passed after Pyongyang's 2006 nuclear test to ensure the full and complete declaration, disablement and irreversible dismantlement of its nuclear facilities, in a verifiable manner, which we agreed to with the other members of the six-party talks. We must reinvigorate the trilateral coordination process with Japan and South Korea. And we must never squander the trust of our allies and the respect for our highest office by promising that the president will embark on an open-ended, unconditional personal negotiation with a dictator responsible for running an international criminal enterprise, a covert nuclear weapons program and a massive system of gulags.
The first two sentences are aimed squarely at the Bush administration. Many voices are urging McCain to get to the left of Bush on foreign policy. But here McCain goes the other way, in essence crying foul on the increasingly preposterous attempts (detailed by Stephen Hayes most recently) to ignore North Korea's nuclear testing and proliferation (not to mention gross human rights abuses) for the sake of what some call "legacy deals."
McCain continued these themes in a speech today on nuclear proliferation, stating that
North Korea pursues a nuclear weapons program to the point where, today, the dictator Kim Jong-Il has tested a nuclear weapon, and almost certainly possesses several more nuclear warheads. And it has shared its nuclear and missile know-how with others, including Syria. It is a vital national interest for the North Korean nuclear program to be completely, verifiably and irreversibly ended. . . .
Again, this criticism seems to be directed mainly at the unwillingness of the Bush administration to push for verifiable restraints on North Korea's nuclear program. The latter may not do much to endear McCain to mainstream pundits, but it will likely cheer the conservative base (which has grown increasingly disgusted with Bush's second term foreign policy record). North Korea is one issue on which McCain seems inclined to break with Bush, albeit not the way most critics envisioned.

Steps to turning the tassel often motivated by others
When Hakeem Dortch accepted his high school diploma Friday night, he was honoring his late grandmother's wish.
"To be honest, I never saw myself graduating," the 20-year-old admitted. "I did it for her. Her goal was for me to graduate."
Dortch and 13 of his classmates at Western Vance High School brought the school's total number of graduates to more than 500 students over 11 years.
"We are calling them the fortunate 500. Since we started in 2003 we have graduated 501 students," said Eric Pierce, Western Vance's principal.
While waiting for the ceremony to start, Kudesha Terry said she felt wonderful.
The 18-year-old had dropped out of Northern Vance High School after she failed a couple classes and couldn't graduate.
But she returned to Western Vance, and the school was her second chance for success.
Terry said she wants to pursue certification in nursing, while Dortch said he plans to join the Marines.
With more than 100 students, Western Vance serves as the district's alternative high school for at-risk students who face a strong chance of never earning a diploma. State guidelines are followed for graduation requirements, though the number of credit hours are less than at Northern and Southern.
In the four-year cohort graduation rates, Western checked in at 92.5 percent in 2012 and above 95 percent in 2013.
Local options allow students to get ahead independently and the school typically holds winter and spring graduations. The individualized help is promoted through reduced class sizes and through motivational and specialized programs.

I write about communications, business and the ways the two intersect full bio →
Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.
I am an entrepreneur and communications expert from Salt Lake City and founder of SnappConner PR. I am the author of Beyond PR: Communicate Like A Champ The Digital Age, available on Amazon. I am also a frequent author and speaker on communication and am co-creator of the Content University program for executives. The opinions I express (especially when tongue in cheek) are entirely my own. My newsletter is the Snappington Post, available at http://bit.ly/1iv67WkContact Cheryl Conner
The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Some great points, Cheryl. Linked In really needs to make it easier a la Google for users to decide who they share what with. I never realized until AFTER I'd made a change similar to the ones you refer to that EVERYONE got a notification about it. Why do I need to spend time changing settings? LI should follow Google's path and allow us to decided on these things as we do them. These kinds of thoughtless so-called "Improvements" are hurting quite a few people in a time when it's the "in thing" to use Linked In for making judgment calls about others. Personally I feel that if hiring managers have to rely on social media to decide whom they hire, we're in big trouble.
I agree that many have crossed that line of hiring through social media, but not all of us. Possibly 92% are doing it. BUT, in creating and increasing this trend, there's a backlash evolving. I stand firm that a resume is almost nothing – it's the in person contact and the ability of the interviewer to perceive that STILL counts. Thanks to SM recruitment, we are now seeing people become social media savants – learning how to sway the system in the same way some abuse resumes in order to gain a foothold where, in reality, they have none. Any recruiter who thinks differently will sooner or later have a rude awakening. In fact, my sources suggest that it's already happening…
Some may indeed create a big noise via social media with little to back it up. On the other hand, an active and authentic social media presence can serve to establish connections and credibility–based on the content you share and the knowledge you demonstrate–in a field or sector you'd like to enter, in a community you want to live in if you don't already, and much faster and more efficiently than figuring out which networking events to attend and how much coffee you can drink in a week's worth of informational interviews.
Social media interactions can establish the very kind of networking relationships that prove over and over to be the most effective in finding out about jobs that never get advertised. Those in-person interviews you cite are sparked by *something*; how do you find the person and how does the person find you? Social media is one more tool to enable those connections.
In moving from public higher ed communications/government relations to the world of bike advocacy my online activities, from tweeting to blogging to establishing a curated list (womenbikeblogs.com) and making it into a news feed, helped make me a presence in the bike world beyond the community in which I was actively working as a volunteer bike advocate. You can't fake that with a flurry of tweets.
My online presence was one element cited by the search committee as helping me stand out and giving them a sense of my knowledge and communication skills. The same activity now helps raise the profile and reach of my organization with our members, media, elected officials, and influencers.
As I look at candidates for positions of any kind, you can bet that an ability to communicate effectively across multiple channels will make someone stand out above other equally qualified candidates. Why would I pass over someone who has demonstrated he/she can communicate passion and expertise in such a way that others choose to connect or follow?
Certainly this new layer of activity forces on the recruiting/screening/hiring authorities the need to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff but that was always the case even when it was only padded resumes you had to cull.
Thanks Barb! Thank you very much for your comments and insight. It will really help.
I don't hire based on social media, however, anytime I get a resume or a referral I look them up on LinkedIn and Facebook first. Which leads to a hot tip: if you post racist, semi-pornography, drunken pictures of your last booze cruise and other things showing you to be a moron, do not be surprised that employers don't call when you apply. I do my best not to judge, but some pictures are just not going to impress a hiring manager. As was stated in 'The Social Network', 'the internet is forever'. Be smart people…..
I'm a great fan of LinkedIn too. Very timely post! I have been forced to " hide" some of my connections who share nonsensical stuff since I have a large network and I don't want to miss the important updates. Really good tips. Great advice especially "turn off the activity broadcasts while you're working on multiple changes" which may save you humiliation :) Thanks Cheryl for yet another excellent post!

OMG: Does Snooki Have a Secret Twin? (PHOTO)
No, there aren't two Snookis wobbling around (unless you count her mini-me baby Lorenzo, that is). It's just an optical illusion!
Snooks tweeted this "double take" frame of herself back-to-back with herself, and thanks to the magic of mirror imaging we get to see what Snooki looks like in reverse right alongside her normal appearance. (Photo below.) Weird, right?!
Sure, the expressions are a little different for each half, but it's pretty darn impressive how well she lined up this tricky little shot. She almost had us fooled, too.
Catch the next new episode of Jersey Shore on Thursday, November 29 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Photoshop CS4 offers an abundance of helpful shortcuts and hidden tricks that allow designers and photographers to get more done in less time. In Photoshop CS4 Power Shortcuts, Michael Ninness reveals hundreds of tips to boost productivity, including the top 20 power shortcuts every Photoshop user must know. He covers strategies for better document and panel management, and offers techniques for becoming quicker and more nimble when using layers, adjustment layers, and layer masks. Exercise files accompany the course.
Download the keyboard shortcut guide from the Exercise Files tab.
It's a bit geeky, but I'm pretty excited to show you this next set of power shortcuts around OpenGL Navigation. This is a new feature in Photoshop CS4 that takes advantage of the graphics card that you have to do faster and smoother animation, zooming and panning around your screen. So how do you know if this is supported? Your card has to support OpenGL. Photoshop can tell you that. If you go to your Preferences, Command+K, Ctrl+K, and click on the Performance tab. This will be turned on by default, Enable OpenGL Drawing, and if your card supports that, you will get some information here telling either Photoshop detected an OpenGL aware card or a supported card.
So what does this mean? Well, I'm going to press Z for the Zoom tool here and normally in the previous versions of Photoshop, you would click, click, click, click. Every time you wanted to zoom in, you do a separate click and of course if you want to zoom out, you hold down the Option key or the Alt key and click to zoom down. Instead of clicking now in CS4, I'm just going to click and hold. And the longer I hold the key down, the farther you are zoomed-in. You see it does it in much smoother and an animated way. Eventually, you see a pixel grid, and then when you let go, you stop zooming. To zoom down, you hold down Option or Alt and it works exactly the same way, the longer you hold the mouse button down, the farther you will zoom out. It's kind of very nice, smooth, quick interactive way to zoom in and out. So that's kind of fun.
I am going to go ahead and zoom up the old-fashioned way doing Command+1, Ctrl+1 to go to 100%, and if I tap the H key for the Hand tool. The other thing that OpenGL provides for you is what they call Flick Panning, or I like to call it Photoshop Pong, and what you are actually doing is throwing the image. I'm clicking and dragging and releasing, and there is actually a built-in accelerometer, so to speak, if the faster you throw the image, the faster it will scroll. So it makes it kind of fun and interactive way just to throw the image around on screen. If it's in the middle of a movie you want to stop it, just click, and that will stop the pan. So if I click and make it go really fast, and then click again, it will stop the pan wherever you click.
So just a real fun interactive way to pan and zoom around an image, and of course the Rotate Screen View is really a nice and smooth with OpenGL as well. If I hold down the R key and rotate, I get a nice smooth rotate, and I can go really fast, to rotate my Canvas, I'll just hit Escape to cancel that back out, and to zoom down again, hold down the Option key, and zoom down smoothly. So that's the OpenGL Navigation. Click and hold with the Zoom tool, hold down Option or Alt to zoom out, and then do the Flick Panning to throw your image around and navigate very quickly.

Book for Thai Cooking
I would like a find a good cookbook on, well, Thai cooking -- curries in particular -- preferably illustrated (I like looking at pretty pictures), in either English or French...whatever. I've read and re-read Chichi Wang's columns and am looking for some more insight on this delightful cuisine. Do you have any suggestions?

This procedure describes the process for students with disabilities who are seeking a terminal degree to request a course substitution.
The following procedure has been developed by the Center for Accessible Resources (CAR) for Course Substitution requests from students with disabilities who are attempting to complete one of Lane's terminal degrees.
Please note:
- This procedure applies to terminal degrees at Lane Community College.
- Course Substitution is the most common way to implement the legal accommodation: program modification.
- Only Course Substitutions, not course waivers, are considered in this process.
When a student seeking one of Lane's terminal degrees requests a Course Substitution, CAR will perform the following steps:
- CAR will clarify whether the student has been working with the Instructional Division for this degree. If not, CAR may choose to refer the student to the appropriate Division Dean.
- CAR will analyze the student's disability documentation in terms of type, severity and relevance to the requested substitution.
- CAR will review the student's transcript to determine:
- whether the student has attempted and not passed the course/s in question, despite having used appropriate accommodations and other college resources. (This is not a requirement for approving a program modification, but may be a factor.)
- the student's academic performance history and any informal/formal transcript evaluation.
- CAR will confirm that the student is "otherwise qualified" according to the ADA to participate in the degree program, as specified in the degree program requirements.
- If pertinent, CAR will explore alternatives to a program substitution with the student (such as other degrees or other courses), without violating the student's right to obtain the preferred degree.
- If needed, CAR will research perspectives of other institutions/colleagues, actions creating past precedence, case law, or regional/state/national investigative decisions related to the request.
- CAR will consult with the Lead Faculty and Division Dean for the specific degree program in order to consider:
- the essential elements of the degree being sought and the performance outcomes expected as a result of receiving that degree, in relation to the course in question (e.g., if the student is obtaining a nursing degree and is expected to compute medication dosages, s/he must be able to demonstrate that competency through coursework/fieldwork).
- the appropriateness of a course substitution.
- If pertinent (e.g., there is conflicting information), CAR will consult with the appropriate division/department for clarification (through job market surveys, etc.) that the competencies for the course in question are necessary for the degree in relation to the job market. In that case, Lane would be remiss in granting a degree without that course or a comparable competency requirement.
- If a course substitution is a viable option, CAR will consult with appropriate personnel (e.g., the Math Division Dean, the program Division Dean, and the Lead Faculty). This group will determine potential courses that could be approved as course substitutions, taking into consideration courses the student has already completed. Someone from this group will consult or follow up with the student.
- The CAR Associate Dean will send a memo to the Dean of Enrollment Management Systems that either:
- offers general support and confirmation of the disability but no recommendation, or
- provides a specific recommendation related to legal risks if the College chooses not to approve the request.
- The memo will include the course substitution recommendations from STEP 4.
- The memo will request confirmation that this request has been processed.
For questions about this process, contact Center for Accessible Resources (Voice: (541) 463-5150, TTY: 711, FAX: (541) 463-4739, or firstname.lastname@example.com)

Service-Oriented Law Professor
Professor Lynn Foster has exemplified the law school's core values of professionalism, public service, and access to justice. Professor Foster is an outstanding teacher and serves as an excellent example for her law students. She has worked in a variety of projects to help her students and her community and to create laws and policies to benefit the underserved population in Arkansas without ever seeking commendations or attention for her contributions. Her primary efforts have included the creation of a service-learning course that provides opportunities for law students to work with residents in the University District Development Corporation, representing Arkansas on the national Uniform Law Commission, and serving on the Arkansas Landlord-Tenant Law Study Commission and drafting the Commission's 2013 report.
One of Professor Foster's letter of nomination details her impact in multiple areas of the law and in the UALR community. Professor Foster's service activities serve a wide spectrum of constituents through her dedicated service on three significant platforms: the University District Development Corporation, the national Uniform Law Commission, and the Arkansas Bar Association. A former student and colleague discuss how Professor Foster "exemplifies the spirit of this award through her efforts to serve the community," and another letter of nomination explains, "her enduring commitment to fairness in the rule of law, in the face of attacks from special interests, warrants special recognition." Professor Foster's contributions go well beyond UALR's high standards for excellence in service.
Professor Foster's degrees include a J.D. from Southern Illinois University, and a M.S. and an A.B. from the University of Illinois.

Mirror's Edge is a "single-player first person action-adventure platform game" developed and published by Electronic Arts.
Game Synopsis
quoted from wikipedia
Mirror's Edge takes place in an unnamed dystopian city where life is comfortable and crime almost non-existent. But the city's state of bliss is the achievement of a domineering and totalitarian regime which monitors all communication, controls the media, has policies which include the outright illegalisation of smoking, and, it is strongly implied, operates sham trials and a sham democracy. Eighteen years before the events of the game they had opened fire on a protest against their rule, killing many civilians.

Two confessions. One: I love cocktails. Two: I am lazy. Well, lazy when it comes to making cocktails. I refuse to consider making a drink with an ingredient list that requires six new hard-to-find bottles or a consultation with a dictionary. This laziness has caused "cocktail hour" at my house to become essentially "glass-of-wine hour", which is frankly getting pretty boring. Here's a simple drink to switch things up. More
Now, you can add Sriracha flavored booze into your favorite cocktail. You may begin rejoicing. More
The first thing you should know about this review is that I volunteered to do it. I'm not typically a vodka drinker, let alone a flavored vodka drinker, but when the bottle of Cinnabon vodka showed up at our office, I figured what the hell, and brought it home for Thanksgiving. More
Vodka drinks are creeping back into the cocktail scene—especially those featuring vodkas from small-batch distillers. Here are five great cocktail recipes to help you get reacquainted with vodka at home. More
It's rare for a booze brand to become the center of a socio-political controversy, but that's just what happened at the end of July, when a prominent supporter of gay rights called for a boycott of Stolichnaya vodka. I'm going to try to recount the reasons for the boycott, Stoli's reaction, and some of the back-and-forth the boycott has sparked. More

The Lemon Drop was one of the most popular cocktails in the US in the later part of the 20th century. It should follow a simple formula of spirit, lemon, and sweetener, but sadly, in many bars the drink disintegrated into a candied mess. It's time to give the Lemon Drop the glory it deserves. More
How many ways are there to enjoy a martini? Over at Slate, Troy Patterson has given a lot of thought to this question. He staged a Tournament of Martinis, in the pattern of the NCAA basketball tourney. Starting with 80 recipes (yes, 80), he paired drinks up and let them battle for supremacy. He includes martini variations that I don't think of as such: for example, martinis with Chartreuse, Scotch, elderflower liqueur, or lime juice. Patterson's path is fun to read, but I have no intention of duplicating his work. Instead I want to focus on just a few elements of the martini: the ingredients, the ratio, the preparation, and the presentation, along with a little history. More
Rather than purchase raw neutral spirits, which is common practice for many manufacturers, Absolut takes control of the process from beginning to end—from seed to glass—and it's all done locally in Sweden. I traveled there to tour the distillery and learn about how vodka is made—I also got a sneak peek at some new Absolut products that are coming down the pipeline. More
The Cosmo is arguably one of the most influential cocktails of the past twenty-five years. Its popularity skyrocketed in the 90's and was on the menu off every bar from NY to Timbuktu. It already saw one upgrade later in its life and now its time for a new one. More
I got a flu shot the other day, even though I am a paragon of health and I have very little contact with the short and sneezy subset of humanity that spreads disease via finger paint snot art and sociopathic disregard for personal space.

Anchor Distilling in San Francisco's Potrero Hill is a pretty small operation—the copper stills they use to make Old Potrero Whiskey, Junipero Gin, and Genevieve could probably all fit in my living room.

I got married for the normal and noble reasons that Bottom Shelf research director Emily is very pretty and has good employer-provided health insurance, plus my luscious head of hair isn't going to last forever so let's not kid ourselves about my options down the road. Proposing to Emily in January was the best decision I ever made, which means quite a little bit coming from the man who invented the Slim Jim-studded hamburger: I know from good decisions. More
I hate listening to people complain about how busy they are, so I've come to you not to whine about my increased busyness but merely to acknowledge it. After a decade of barely fettered leisure I've recently found myself with a full day's worth of chores to do every day, even on the days when there is a "Law and Order" marathon or unseasonable warmth and including one ghastly day in September when my ankle hurt and we were out of Advil and cyanide capsules.

One of the biggest bummers for Bloody Mary fans is being served a weak, watered-down, pinkish drink. What you really want is a deeply red and tomato-y Mary that's amply boozy but not sad and diluted.

When it comes to the world of flavored vodka, I usually stick with the king: gin. However, every now and then there is a place on my bar for the other stuff (usually when a party looms). While many of the options range from the sickly sweet to the disgustingly bizarre, there are actually some pretty tasty and unique options out there if you know where to look. More
A few weeks ago I found myself with a bushel of basil—I was in over my head with bunches of the herb and needed to use them up asap. After making the prerequisite pestos, I ventured into pizza and even a basil and lime sorbet, which got me thinking. Those two flavors are perfect summer partners—refreshing and full of flavor—so they can only get better with the addition of a little booze, right? More

This is a component for playing Last.fm radio stations in foobar2000.
Get version 0.5.7d here.
The component gives you several ways of adding stations. Artist stations can be added from the context menu. Your personal stations can be added from the "File/Open Last.fm Radio Station" menu, as can custom stations. The component will also catch Last.fm URIs entered from the "File/Add location..." dialog or command line, but these don't create automatically refreshing playlists.
Thanks to those that answered my questions during development. As usual, all feedback is welcome!
Regarding the future of this component
The component is still using the old Last.fm Radio API, which was due to be discontinued over half a year ago, and is therefore running on borrowed time. When the new radio API was released I went some way to updating, but hit some problems and then didn't have the time.
However the new radio API requires users to be subscribers in order to listen, and as I expect the continuing popularity of foo_lastfm_radio stems from the fact that you don't need to subscribe, it is unlikely that I'll update to the new API any time soon. This means that if and when the old radio API is deactivated, it will be RIP foo_lastfm_radio.
A note on Love/Ban
This functionality is part of a separate API, and additionally requires a corresponding audioscrobbler submission (see http://www.last.fm/api/show?service=260). It therefore won't be implemented in foo_lastfm_radio. Sorry.
Changed in version 0.5.x:
Note: Played tracks are not scrobbled. (Use foo_audioscrobbler with "Only submit tracks from the Media Library" disabled if you want this functionality.)
Note 2: Users of foo_playback_custom (or other components which write tags to files during playback) should check "Only tracks in the media library update playback statistics" in that component's options to avoid problems with playback.

I also frequently get this error when trying to play a song from a previously generated playlist:The URLs returned by the last.fm server represent "tickets" which are only good for one use.
Unable to open item for playback (Invalid ticket (403)):
Actually, a few minutes after my last post I came to the conclusion that the component currently uses an approach that makes things more complicated than they need to be - both for users and for the implementation. I'm not an expert on Last.fm radio stations, but as far as I know they are conceptually streams that support skipping to the next song as a bonus features.
On the technical side, the server returns XSPF playlists for a given station that contain a few songs in the form of one-use URLs and metadata for the song. The most straightforward way to implement this in foobar2000 would be an input service that acts as a proxy to this "stream". When it is used for playback, it would retrieve the XSPF playlist from the server, open the input for the first track and report the songs metadata as dynamic track metadata (like a regular HTTP stream). When the track ends or playback of the stream is restarted (like when you double-click the playlist entry when it is already playing), it would go to the next. When it runs out of tracks, it would retrieve the XSPF playlist with the next few songs from the server.
There are a few technical issues - for example, the caching and retrieval of the XSPF playlist should not actually be handled by each input instance but by a central module - but overall I think this approach would make it easier to handle Last.fm stations in foobar2000. The current way with automatically updating playlists that contain one-use URLs seems a bit out-of-place.

People Complain About New Noises
I really don't understand what's happening. For 2 straight days, lots of frontpage posts on the Minecraft community were "Please add new sounds/___ needs better sounds/___ sounds aren't good enough". I really do like the new sounds, they definitely add a nice new atmosphere. Some of them need some work, but we haven't seen the final picture yet (or heard, should I say). So C418, thanks for all the effort you have put into pleasing this community, and I'm sure many are pleased. And people remember, what we have heard/seen so far isn't final. Wood and minecarts especially are amazing, also loving the soul sand one.
I absoutely love the new sounds. I can't believe why people would complain about them. Some just need a little tweaking, that's all. People are too hard to please.
The only one I kinda dislike is the level-up sound. It just sounds a little over the top, and it's slightly annoying considering that you level up pretty fast in Minecraft.
But thanks, C418 😀
Someone gave me a good bit of advice while I was writing this: we aren't calling C418 a hack and threatening to quit the game, we're giving criticism where it is needed. Nobody is denying C418 (at least from what I've seen) is a great guy and a hard worker, but that doesn't mean we're going to blindly take whatever we're handed, be it from him or Mojang as a whole.
So, what do you think?

Doug Schaefer
At CDF, one of the main search strategies for the Higgs boson uses the WH production mode. ~ In this channel, the W boson decays into a lepton (either electron or muon) and neutrino while the Higgs boson (H) decays into a bottom quark and an anti-bottom quark pair.~ The charged leptons can be accurately detected and measured, while the neutrino and the quarks are measured relatively poorly.~ This analysis attempts to estimate the neutrino transverse energy, and then use this information to in turn correct the measurement of the quark energies.~ This method may allow a much more accurate determination of the Higgs boson mass in WH events.~ We present expected improvements in Higgs mass resolution.

Adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T) are the components of nucleic acid that make up DNA.
In 1950, Erwin Chargaff published a paper stating that in the DNA of any given species, the ratio of adenine to thymine is equal, as is the ratio of cytosine to guanine. This became known as Chargaff's ratio, and it was an important clue for solving the structure of DNA.
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is caused by a mutation that leads to an abnormal protein that is always active. The drug Gleevec has a shape that fits into the active site of the abnormal protein and stops its harmful effects.
Reactive molecules, such as free radicals, and solar ultraviolet radiation can lead to mutations in DNA. Most mutations are corrected, but in rare cases mutations can accumulate and cause diseases such as cancer.
DNA has a double helix structure. If untwisted, DNA looks like two parallel strands. Each strand has a linear sequence of A, C, G, and T. The precise order of the letters carries the coded instructions. One strand is a complementary image of the other: A always pairs with T, and C always pairs...

Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a technique for making many copies of a specific DNA sequence. DNA is repeatedly heated and cooled in the presence of primers that bracket the desired sequence and of the enzyme Tac polymerase. In as few as 30 cycles, a billion copies of the target sequence...
The structure of DNA, discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick, suggests a mechanism of replication. The double helix unwinds, and each strand acts as a template for the construction of the new DNA molecule.
Using information from molecular research, this 3-D animation shows how DNA is replicated at the molecular level. It involves an enzyme that unwinds the DNA, and other enzymes that copy the two resulting strands.
Both strands of the DNA double helix act as templates for the new DNA strands. Incoming DNA is unraveled by the enzyme helicase, resulting in the 3' strand and the 5' strand. The 3' strands and the 5' strands are replicated by a DNA polymerase enzyme but in different ways.
The first phase of the process of reading DNA information to make proteins starts with a molecule unzipping the DNA. The molecule then copies one of the strands of DNA into a strand of RNA, a close cousin of DNA. This process is called transcription.
The process of copying DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA) is called transcription. Transcription factors assemble at the promoter region of a gene, bringing an RNA polymerase enzyme to form the transcription initiation complex. Activator proteins at the enhancer region of DNA then activate the...

Scientists Have Found A Way To Generate Electricity From The Human Body
There has been talk of the search for an unlimited energy source for decades. So far, there has been little to no progress made in finding such a source. However, scientists have started to focus their attention on recycling energy and maximizing efficiency rather than coming up with an endless supply of energy.
It may soon be possible to turn the human body into a power station. There are now several developing technologies that will harness the body's heat, movement, vibrations, and metabolism- allowing you to possibly charge your electronics while you walk.
One form of technology focuses on piezoelectricity- electricity resulting from pressure. Piezoelectrical material, when pushed out of shape, generates small amounts of power. If put into a pacemaker, it could potentially allow the heart to power the artificial pacemaker- in a way, the heart would power itself.
Pacemakers only require very small amounts of energy, yet the batteries still manage to run out in a few years. Dr. Amin Karami from the University of Michigan believes that a pacemaker that harvests the energy of the heartbeat itself may allow it to operate for an entire lifetime.
Other forms of this up-and-coming technology include a "power shirt" made of pairs of fibers coated with tiny strips of gold and zinc oxide. The fibers rub together while you move and produce a current.
Prof Zhong Lin Wang, at the Georgia Institute of Technology, says that "we could provide a flexible, foldable and wearable power source that, for example, would allow people to generate their own electrical current while walking".

So we have been hitting the Operation Cheery Ho-Ho pretty hard this weekend. We finished decorating the inside of the house, we made paper snowflakes and our countdown to christmas trees, we've watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas 3 times and we finished painting some presents for the grandparents. We also put up lights outside…
As I stepped back and looked at my awesome light placement this year I realized something pretty spectacular, I had placed boobs on my home. Big, beautiful boobs with sparkly tinsel nipples.
During the day you don't notice them at all. During the day you might think I was being festive and slightly sad with my lack of outdoor decorations:
But at night, the lights come on and it becomes boobtacular:
So a normal person would say "Hmmm, I believe I have placed festive boobs on my home. I will remedy the situation immediately."
Me and my husband are not normal people.
My husband told me to leave them up because they were awesome and hilarious. I also believe they are awesome and hilarious and secretly hope that my neighbors will come by to complain.
Here's the deal though.
I don't think anyone else sees what my husband and I see in the lights, so we may just be super perverted and weird.
I do think that I have a new idea for christmas cards this year though:
Happy Boobmas everyone!

Crash slows traffic on I-15 in Davis County
First Published Dec 20 2013 03:52PM • Last Updated Dec 20 2013 03:52 pm
A four car pile-up on Interstate 15 in Davis County is causing traffic issues for travelers.
According to the Utah Department of Transportation, a crash on southbound I-15 near mile marker 286 in Woods Cross has blocked the left lanes and slowed traffic. They estimate delays of more than 15 minutes in both directions, and estimate it will take crews until 4:15 p.m. to clear the crash.
Utah Highway Patrol officials said Friday that the crash involved four cars. No one was injured in the crash, which blocked several lanes of traffic.

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 04/20/2012
This exploratory analysis indicates that endothelial barrier function is decreased in peritoneal dialysis patients and is associated with diabetic status and markers of platelet activation more than inflammation. In contrast, hypoalbuminaemia is associated more with inflammation and atherosclerotic disease indicating a more complex relationship between systemic endothelial barrier function, inflammation and hypoalbuminaemia.
In this study we wanted to explore the relationship between systemic protein leak, inflammation and endothelial dysfunction as hypoalbuminaema remains a significant problem in peritoneal dialysis patients. We confirmed previous findings that hypoalbuminaemia was associated with inflammation whereas the systemic protein leak was more associated with markers of platelet activation. The daily leak of albumin from the circulation far exceeds the losses from the peritoneal cavity but is presumably recirculated explaining why it has less impact on the plasma albumin concentration. To solve the problem of hypoalbuminaemia in PD patients - which contributes to their tissue oedema problems - it will be necessary to target the supression of albumin synthesis associated with inflammation.

Neffe and her Man Soullow Snap Back…
Neffe is mad as hell that some blogs reported that she is no longer with her man Soullow. Photographer Freddy O, caught up with her yesterday, and she wanted to make it clear that she is not broke and she is disgusted with the way she is portrayed in the media:
Everything I get is from what I earn . And if it wasn't for my strong tight knit close family members I don't know where I would be. I work hard for everything I have and my kids get anything and everything they want. If you come to my house you will see that they have Playstation 3s and flat screen televisions and any and everything they could ever want. I am lost for words at the way the media portrays me and my family. But I understand everybody needs somebody to hate on. I love my family. I love my sister Keyshia, most importantly, I love God. At the end of the day nobody did nothing for me but God and myself."
I watched the video all the way through because I thought there would be some Keyshia Cole news sprinkled in there somewhere. I mean "how's the baby doing?" SMH…Silly me :-p Peep it below:

Re: Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
Nonetheless, it is now better than ever. All the bugs are worked out and it runs very smoothly. If anyone is looking for an MMO to hold them over until AOC or WAR, check this out. I play on the Sartok server as "Saltarg." All of the servers are merged into four now, so, population is very high. Give it a try.
75% of the team working on it got fired. A few of the wiser ones remaining (Diplomacy guy, the Lore guy) have got up and walked. A handful got hired by Mythic and Paul Barnett was quoted as saying "They were like frightened rabbits caught in headlights when they came here". Nobody has been hired to replace those people, except for a few
interns doing menial tasks.
The crazies that are still working on the game are overworked. A fortnight ago, when a select few were given their veteran rewards, everyone on all the servers got them in error. Mistakes like that only happen when YOU'VE GOT NO QA.
Guess what? Vanguard HAS NO QA.
Ellyra, Vanguards Community Rep and board Admin, wanted to round up a group of players (4 or 5) to play with last Friday night. Guess what? Nobody turned up. After a week of asking on the forums, nobody turned up. She said she got a pickup group to help her, but you know what, I don't even believe that. I think she tried for an hour then logged off because nobody was around. I couldn't blame her.
I could go on and on with these stories. Vanguard has got a shed load of them.
Vanguard has less bugs, and the performance has been addressed. I'll give you that. But it's taken nearly a year to do that. Hell, they only just figured out how to add helms last month, and could only do that by removing all the facial customisations. They haven't got any funds coming in, and they aren't spending anything on re-hiring badly needed staff.
Vanguard is in a coma, and nothings going to change that.

@Dragonbyrd; Excellent idea! Worked for me too.
EDIT: Apparently I can see the channels but the DLC wont actually load. I'm beginning to think this nand emulation is really in an alpha phase at the moment with TONS of flaws. Am I right?
I am having serious cover issues though. Seems Wiiflow (and all of my USB loaders) hang while downloading these covers. It's very annoying and at this rate, seems it may be a year or more before I get all my box art finished.
Tried manual d/l but there is a lot missing.
Looks like r27 is out now according to the home page of this site. Wonder if this guide will be updated soon?
Last edited by Jax; 08-02-2012 at 08:16 PM. Reason: Merged Posts.
I fixed my cover issues problem. How I did it was unplugged my Nintendo Wii LAN adapter and went to a friends place who used WiFi. I connected to his WiFi and was able to make a complete update! Still though, problems getting the NAND games to work perfectly. They tend to hang and the Wiimote (Nintendo brand old ones) loose connection and I have to hard reboot the Wii. Then again, this cool program is in Alpha stage at the moment too so that kinda goes with the territory.
i am having some issue i have uses this guide and downloaded the app pack at the end of it i installed it to a 2gb sd card fat and wii flow would boot up fine with my .wbsf part hard drive
i copied the wii flow files the wii flow folder in apps and the wii flow folder in the root and put it on my main 8gb sd card
BUT now everytime i try and boot up it says no partition found what am i doing wrong am i missing a file that i should of copied from my 2gb to my 8gb (its driving me crazy)
Are u sure your following this guide?Originally Posted by duboisbrian
Sent from my GT-I9100 using WiiHacks
Thankyou for such an excellent update to the already fantastic WiiFlow, I have some advice for those having issues with newly added Wiiware not showing up, on first detecting your nand folder WiiFlow creates a list for the emulated nand in the cache folder, just delete it and a new one will be created the next time you use WiiFlow.
Additionally if you are having any black screen issues you may need to change the tv type in your Wii's screen settings. You can also try installing the game to your real nand first so that it can create a save file, works for some games.

hey guys i have a ?.......i just softmoded using the any wii guide,if i use that guide do i still have to follow the steps here or am i done?
Congrats on your ?....... And yes, if you want to use the nand emulation feature then you will totally need to follow this guide. It would be great if this guide could merge with the ANY guide though as an option or something.
Ill do my best. NAND emulation basicaly copies the functionality of the Wii functionality in that you can buy games from the Wii shopping channel and they install as channels. They install to something called a NAND (feel free to Google that). Wiiflow has the ability to emulate or mimic the functionality of the system NAND. Why would anyone want this? For one, there's a really really limited amount of space on the Wii NAND. Emulating it opens up the possibilities exponentially with large hard disc drives.
The installation of this reads very simply but if you decide to employ this functionality in your Wii (or the one you're working with) please read and re-read all you can prior to doing so. Familiarize yourself with the instructions and when you have questions, post them in the appropriate sections on this board. There are a TON of awesome people here who are really intelligent and kind. Good luck my friend! I wish you well

I worked on the "pile" at ground zero for a few days,and then at the land fill,collecting remains for DNA testing and crime scene evidence.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8 features a similar five megapixel imager and Leica DC Vario-Elmarit-branded optically stabilised 3x zoom lens as the previous FX7 model. The FX8 uses the new Venus Engine PLUS and a new battery, which together offer a claimed twofold improvement in battery life, as well as improved autofocus performance (including a new high-speed 1-point AF mode). There's also improved movie performance courtesy of a tweaked image sensor that now offers nine-pixel mixed readout.
The camera body has also been restyled slightly. As with the FX7, the new model will be offered in four color schemes for the Japanese market - "Silky Silver", "Comfort Blue", "Misty Pink" and "Gross Black" (perhaps a little something got lost in the translation, but we're actually quoting Panasonic on the names).
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8 will ship September 2005, with a list price of US$349.95.
