Typically, you develop an application for Windows Phone 7 by using Microsoft Silverlight and one of the managed programming languages—usually C# or XNA.
There are two main Windows Store app development approaches that you can use when migrating your Windows Phone 7 app: XAML, and JavaScript with HTML5. You develop Windows Store apps using C++, C#, or Visual Basic by using one of those languages with XAML, whereas you develop Windows Store apps using JavaScript with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5 along with the Windows Library for JavaScript.
A Windows Store app using C++, C#, or Visual Basic, using XAML, is the preferred model for ports from Windows Phone 7. If you are familiar with Silverlight, you can port to a Windows Store app using XAML by using familiar languages like C# or Visual Basic, and a similar set of UI elements and APIs.
For more detail about porting a Windows Phone 7 application to XAML, read Migrating a Windows Phone 7 app to XAML.
A Windows Store app using JavaScript is another model for Windows Phone 7 ports, and may be better suited for simple UI-based apps or to full-screen web apps or clients.
However if your a game developer then you can move your existing Windows Phone XNA using Monogame.
Porting to Windows Store app using MonoGame
For some background you can read these posts:
During the ThreeThing Game event, Dean Ellis @InfSpaceStudios talked through the porting of a one of the teams Windows Phone game, Shear Carnage to Windows 8, the initial port took 7mins 47seconds, which is pretty impressive stuff!
Some of the key features, the team now need to work on now to get the app store ready is..
Overall this is pretty stunning for existing Windows Phone developers taking existing or new phone apps to both the Windows Phone Marketplace and Windows 8 Store.
With the announcement that you can run Hyper-V on the Windows 8 client. I have had a lot of questions regarding this? I did do a post back in August explaining the process of checking your PC estate for SLAT Support see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/uk_faculty_connection/archive/2012/08/31/if-your-thinking-of-installing-windows-8-are-your-labs-machine-capable.aspx
A number of people have reported simple having problems running Hyper-V on a Windows 8 client as it requires SLAT to run Hyper-V.
Running Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012 does *not* require SLAT but most institutions don't want to install a server OS as a desktop operating system. SLAT is a feature of the CPU. It is called "Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI)", and has been called Extended Page Tables (EPT) by Intel and Nested Page Tables (NPT) by AMD.
You can use Wikipedia to look up Intel Nehalem and AMD NPT:
Processors that support SLAT
For AMD machines you can look up the supported models at http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU120AMDRVICPUsHyperVWin8.aspx
Tools for testing for SLAT Microsoft's Mark Russinovich has also created a really nice utility coreinfo.exe You can simply run coreinfo.ext and it will detect EPT and NPT (SLAT) support on your CPU.
To test your machine, simply download coreinfo.exe from Microsoft Sysinternals http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc835722 and use the coreinfo -v switch to list the features. An asterisk * next to a feature indicates that it is supported. A minus sign - indicates no support for that feature. Note: Coreinfo must be executed on a system without a hypervisor running for accurate results and under a administrator account on Windows 8. For example here is a screenshot from my Lenovo X200 series tablet
"*" means the feature is present
"-" means it is missing
Alternatively, you can use Windows PowerShell to capture your specific CPU model this could be scripted to report the state of your entire PC labs or cluster estate the PowerShell command is gwmi win32_processor
NOTE: Be sure to include the specific family/model/stepping since different processor revisions may have different feature sets.

This is a great starter kit developed by one of my colleague Petri Tapio Wilhelmsen who is a member of the Microsoft Western Europe team.
As you can see from my previous posts were aware many of the apps that are submitted to the Windows Store are failing certification because they didn't know that a Privacy Policy was needed, or that the game/app had to implement a snap view and so on. This kit will help you with the most important things.
Petri has created an excellent HTML5 Game starter kit that will help you set up a new Windows 8 game project in short time, this is ideal for schools, colleges and University who teach game development with HTML5.
By using this starter kit you can get most of this functionality ready, for more details see http://digitalerr0r.wordpress.com/2012/10/08/html5-game-starter-kit-for-windows-8/ or look at the following quick guides below.
Here is a quick video to using the HTML5 Starter kit
5 Step Guide to Bulding HTML5 games with the HTML5 Starter Kit
Step 1a. You need to have Visual Studio 2012 installed on a Windows 8 device to use this. If you are a student and have access to Dreamspark.com (MSDNAA) or a MSDN Subscription you can download both products from there.
You can use the free version of Visual Studio 2012 (express) and can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads
The Release Preview can be downloaded for free here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/release-preview
Step 1b. Download HTML5 Game Starter Kit for Windows 8
Step 2. Start Visual Studio 2012 and create a "Blank App" Windows 8 JavaScript project:
Click on File->New->Project…
Choose JavaScript as the language and the template "Blank App":
Give your project a name (here: Mitt Spill) and press OK.
A new project is generated and the structure will look like this:
Step 3. What we will do now is to add the HTML5 Game Starter Kit files to the newly created project. We just copy the content of the HTML5 Game Starter Kit folder to the project folder.
So, copy thse files from the HTML5 Game Starter Kit:
Navigate to your new game soludtion and open the project folder. Paste the files here, and replace if asked:
The project folder will look somewhat like this:
Step 4. Go back to your Visual Studio 2012 project and update if needed:
Step 5. Include the new files in your project. The last thing you need to do is to include the new files in your project structure from Visual Studio 2012.
Click on the button highlighted in the red circle below. It will show the files that exist in the filestructure but not in the project structure(dark gray).
Select the following files (hold control and click them):
Right click one of the files and select "Include in project":
6. Test if it works. Congratulations, you are now having a working game project! Run the app and test that it works.
Whats in the starter kit?
Full screen mode
Snap view mode
Full screen with other app in snap view.

Privacy Policy
Remember! The example game is using CreateJS. It's located under js/CreateJS. You can remove this folder if it's not needed in your project. But if you do so, the example game will not compile.
1. Build a single, flexible app vs. many replicated apps. - For example, a book publisher should not publish 100s of apps, one for each book. Rather, the publisher should deliver a single app that allows the user to browse their full book catalogue.
2. Check privacy requirement (Certification Requirement 4.1). This is by far the most common reason for failure – well over half of submissions fail on this requirement. The good news is that in the vast majority of cases, this is simply a documentation issue that does not require code changes, i.e., providing a link to the apps privacy policy on the Description page.
3. Another very common reason for failure that is simple to fix is inappropriate Age Rating.
4. Ensure all app builders run the WACK before app submission.
5. Take advantage of App Fast Track (AFT) review where appropriate.
6. Familiarize yourself and app builders you engage with App Certification Tips on the Dev Center: Common Certification Failures and Guidance for Resolving Certification Failures.
7. Review apps locally before app submission with Store certification requirements in mind.

Recently our device maker partners held events where they showcased their amazing Windows Phone 8 hardware for the first time. In case you missed the events, check them out below, or see the full line-up on windowsphone.com.
Nokia Event
HTC Event
Samsung event
Microsoft OEM (for "original equipment manufacturer") hardware partners are about to unleash a wave of new Windows 8 devices in all shapes and sizes. For consumers and businesses, that breadth offers you the chance to find just the right PC no matter what your needs.
With the launch of Windows 8 rapidly approaching, a new wave of tablets, convertibles, hybrids, notebooks, Ultrabooks, and all-in-one PCs are set to hit the shelves later this month here is a quick run down of what Windows 8 devices will be available in the UK.
Windows 8, breadth of technology bounty boils down to one thing for students and educators: choice.
On Oct 26th Microsoft will be releasing Windows 8 and our OEM Partners will be releasing a number of new devices from small and slim tablets to big and beautiful all-in-ones, the new capabilities in Windows 8 have opened the door for a huge array of new and reimagined devices.
So what types of devices will there be?
The tablet
For anyone on the go and far from a desk, tablet PCs provide a comfortable, versatile, and convenient computing experience. Support for multitouch is already giving Windows 8-based tablets a big boost. While consumers are looking for the convenience and flexibility of tablets such as the ASUS Vivo Tab RT, major OEMs are also designing tablet PCs with specific features to suit enterprise scenarios for example, the Dell's Latitude 10 tablet, which features fingerprint capabilities and a smart card reader for heightened security requirements.
Convertibles and hybrids Touch is a convenient way to interact with a PC, and there are also times when people want the speed of a keyboard and the precision of a mouse. With new convertible PCs such as the Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro and hybrids such as the HP Envy X2, users don't need to make an either/or decision. Both feature a traditional clamshell laptop design plus a touch screen that separates from the keyboard and transforms into a tablet.
All-in-ones All-in-ones such as the Acer Aspire 7600U feature large, touch-sensitive displays that can either detach from the desktop station or rotate to lie flat.The Sony VAIO L Series that feature the X-Reality proceeding engine found inside BRAVIA TVs. Select models offer latest-generation "glasses-free" 3-D technology, turning your office PC into cutting-edge entertainment device.
Notebooks and Ultrabooks For anyone who needs to combine portability with power to compose and create using traditional keyboard and mouse input, today's notebooks and super-slim Ultrabook computers still offer a premium PC experience. Those who want a big display for movies or design work may want a full-size notebook such as the Toshiba Satellite U845W, with its true HD wide screen that is perfect for getting a great view of the action. Ultrabook form factor, such as the sleek new HP Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 or the razor-thin ASUS Zenbook PRIME UX21A Touch.

Ginnifer Goodwin Has Been Dieting Since Age Nine
Ginnifer Goodwin says in a new interview with Health magazine that she's been following the Weight Watchers diet program for 23 years.
The 32-year-old explains to Health that she "was a heavy little girl" and "unhappy." She says that, growing up in the South, she was used to fried vegetables. She recounts, "And I remember my mom making dinner for me the first night that I was on this new program, and I burst out crying because the vegetables were green, and I thought she was trying to starve me to death."
But Ginnifer sings the praises of Weight Watchers, saying, "I have been a member of Weight Watchers for 23 years, and I'm back on it right now. It's the only thing on the planet that doesn't dehydrate you or just make you miserable. I've never had a dramatic weight problem, it's just that I tend to indulge, and then I need to get back on track so I can button my pants."
The "Big Love" star says that she likes to do ballet, use an elliptical machine, and speed-walk in order to stay fit. She says that she always feels good about herself, despite her weight, saying, "Even when I'm too heavy, I'm still confident because I never actually let myself go. I can be indulgent for six months and put on some weight, but I still never actually get to the point of being unhappy and self-destructive."
The only thing that trips her up? Wearing a bathing suit. She says, "It doesn't matter what my body looks like, I hate putting on bathing suits in front of other people."
The final season of "Big Love" premieres on HBO on January 16.

Well we took the camper up on the back of the ute and stayed in a caravan park, mainly for power, to power the heater!
We didn't see anyone from apug, but met up with some friends who made the trip especially to see the exhibition.
I was a bit under whelmed overall. There were some really good prints, and, some quite ordinary prints, including some prints from people that were either showing their age, or they seemed to be printed before their technique started to get better.
Having seen some Ansel Adams prints in the flesh before, the ones at this show were rather ordinary, perhaps when he printed them in the 30's, which if I remember correctly they were done around then, he wasn't too flash.
Some of the colour work seemed to be nothing more than a record of buildings and scenes.
At the post mortem, all five of us agreed that it did seem to be not quite what we thought it would be.
The Avedon print of Nastassia Kinski with Serpent was mind blowing, as were the two prints from Mapplethorpe, Dorothea Lange's prints were great, including her signature print. Bourke-White had some good stuff, as did Arbus and seeing a Weegee print in the flesh was interesting.
There were other photographers with good work displayed, but there wasn't a wow factor for any of us, although we agreed it was worth the trip.
One interesting bit was getting a discount for a group entry, two dollars off is two dollars off

You can tell a lot about prosperity in America by observing the places people are moving to and where they are packing up and moving from. New Census Bureau data on metropolitan areas indicate that the South and the Sunbelt regions continue to grow, while the Northeast and Midwest continue to shrink.
Among the 10 fastest-growing metro areas last year were Raleigh, Austin, Las Vegas, Orlando, Charlotte, Phoenix, Houston, San Antonio and Dallas. All of these are in low-tax, business-friendly red states. Blue-state areas such as Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, Providence and Rochester were among the biggest population losers.
This migration isn't accidental. Workers and business owners are responding to clear economic incentives. Red states in the Southeast and Sunbelt are following the Reagan model by reducing tax rates and easing regulations. They also offer right-to-work laws as an enticement for businesses to come and set up shop. Meanwhile, the blue states of the Northeast, joined by California, Minnesota and Illinois, are implementing the Obama model of raising taxes on businesses and the wealthy to fund government "investments" and union power.

I believe the upcoming 2P Reserves report will be a game changer. All their wells in H1 2012 exceeded expectations and they were very oily. According to the company in Q3 2012 report, the average IP-30 for their wells in beaverhill lake is 500 bbl/d excluding the natural gas. I estimate the total average IP-30 for their wells is around 600 boepd.
SCS drilled around 10 net wells in H1 2012. Assuming a decent 400 Mboe/well, it gives around 4 MMboe from these wells. Add this on the existing 11 MMBoe, and you get something around 14-15 MMboe (80% oil and liquids).
Let's say 14,5 MMboe.
14,5 X $20/boe = $290M
290 - 90 (bank debt) = $200 M (estimated market cap)
The current market cap is only $40M. The valuation gap is huge and the risk/reward is huge too.
The numbers speak volumes.
However , the average valuation for so oily 2p Reserves is around $25/boe. Do your dd to confirm.

I Showed Up To My Sixteenth Birthday Party In A Bra
Oh yes I did.
To clarify, it was a sports bra, and if you'd spent the afternoon rock climbing on a 106F August day and then driven home in a car with no A/C you probably would have, too.
Especially if, er, you didn't know your 30 closest friends were waiting for you at home with a giant chocolate cake to smash in your face.
For my seventeenth birthday I was thrown into the back of a van and taken camping – the next year was a reprisal of friendly kidnapping followed by a lakeside BBQ. You're seeing the theme here, right?
Personality wise, I am more likely to give up indoor plumbing at 38 weeks pregnant than throw myself a party. Ironically, I just did the plumbing thing (don't ask!), and now I'm going to do the second. It's an unbaby shower of sorts, and OF COURSE you're invited!
Happening Today: A Mommypotamus Mother Blessing
Mamas, I've told you this before, but I seriously love you. If it weren't for you I'd just be some crazy woman concocting ferments alone in my kitchen, but you have surrounded me with a community that continually inspires me – not to mention making me laugh pretty often! Though I don't need any more stuff for babypotamus, I would love the gift of your presence as I prepare for his/her arrival. Since I can't invite you all over, I'm asking you to join me today for a virtual blessingway.
What Is A Blessingway?
A Blessingway is a Navajo tradition that focuses on nurturing the mother – "filling her cup" if you will – before she gives birth. I've been wanting to write about it since I was invited to one last year, but hadn't really considered making myself a guinea pig until now. This way you get a crash course in Blessingway basics and a chance to practice before you host one with your friends. Sound good? Good! Here's what you need to know:
When mamas gather in real life this time of celebration can take many forms . . .
- Women sometimes bring a bead to give to the mother-to-be, which is strung into a necklace for her to wear during labor. Often the beads are selected based on the mama's favorite colors (I love this idea!)
- Belly painting and henna tattoos are also common. Belly casts are often done as well.
- Guests usually share a light meal together (each woman brings something to share)
- Pampering – such as painting mama's toenails or massaging her hands with pregnancy-safe essential oils – is also not frowned upon
- And of course, the mama-to-be is showered with kind words, encouragement, and blessings/prayers
For those of us that have close friends/sisters/aunts who live too far away to attend, a virtual Blessingway is a great alternative. It can't make the miles disappear, but it is a wonderful way to connect with and support each other.
Will You Join Me In This New/Old Community Birthing Tradition?
I know I have been a bit silly in this post, so let me take a moment to switch gears. First of all, let me thank you for the warmth, camraderie and laughter you have all brought to my life. I love you guys – I told you that, right?
If you'd like to participate, now is the time to take a few deep, cleansing breaths. Imagine your lungs massaging your heart as you breathe in, then feel it warm and expand as you exhale. Consider doing this 3 minute relaxation exercise if you've been sitting hunched over a computer for too long.
Think about the births of your own children (if you have them), and imagine what you would say to yourself if you could do it over again. If you are not a mama, don't hang back! Your support and encouragement is most definitely needed here.
Next, share ANYTHING you want to in the comments below, like:
- A blessing or prayer
- Your favorite birth quote
- Words of wisdom/advice
- Well wishes
- A story about how you found me (and why you didn't run away!)
What Happens Next?
After you leave your comment Daddypotamus will select some to read to me during labor for encouragement. If you would like you can also tie a small ribbon around your wrist as a reminder to think of/pray for me during these last few days/weeks. We'll let you know via my Facebook page when I go into labor – you can cut the cord then and know that we will be doing the same thing soon!
After that, I'll be sharing an intimate (but not graphic) video from the birth here on Mommypotamus. Thank you guys for celebrating this amazing journey with us!
Note: I have used the term Blessingway because it is the one most commonly used – for those looking for info on hosting a celebration this is the term that will most likely lead them here for help with ideas. However, it is my understanding that some Navajo prefer for non-Navajo participants to use a different term, like Mother Blessing.

121 Responses to You're Invited (And I'm The Guinea Pig)
For the blessingway of my first child – seven of my close girlfriends gathered at my home, while several of my close women from afar gathered "virtually." Let me tell you – these are powerful connections! After about one hour together, I went into full blown active labor at 38 weeks. Having the strength of generations of women around me – physically and in spirit – was profound. After a couple of hours, all physical presence was dispersed but the connection spiritually still there. Five hours later, my girl was born healthy and at home.
I commend you in your strength as a woman and mother, and for calling upon the energy of like-minded women together through your words and your blog – and this virtual Blessingway. All of us, and generations of women before us are here with you as you experience what your body was made to do. As you birth your baby into this world, may you feel this support , encouragement and strength from within. You rock, mama!
Dear Heather,
I don't remember how I found your blog, but I keep reading because everything is so helpful to me, and I think you are funny and so, so smart!
When I was in labor with my son, and felt like I couldn't go on, my husband said, "Our baby can't wait to meet you!" That gave me the strength to get back at it.
So I'm saying to you… your baby can't wait to meet you! keep up the good work!
God bless you, your baby, and your whole family!
I found you today, when a friend of mine pinned one of you're posts.
Praying that God wraps you and your family in his warm embrace during this pregnancy and the delivery. I pray for grace and peace and joy!
I haven't been here long but I was still encouraged by reading your blog. You got this girl!!
I am not a Mama but I love the warmth and inviting presence of your website. If I get to be a Mama someday, I know that I will refer to the pages of this website again and again for advice, wisdom, encouragement and lots of recipes! Here is a prayer for you:
Dear God,
Thank you for choosing this wonderful woman to be a vessel of life giving force. Make her strong in her contractions and a Warrior as she pushes her child from her womb and out into the waiting arms of a loving Mother, Father and Siblings. Let her recovery be swift and strength restored. Thank you for her and her family and let her light continue to shine among us. Thank you God, for the Gift of Life. Amen.
For a while, I thought that I didn't want kids. But God has REALLY changed my view on that and now I'm 13 weeks pregnant! You have been very influential in this process of thought change as I think you are the COOLEST MOM EVER! You have shown me how meaningful and fun mommy hood is. Thank you! I pray blessings and all health for baby #3 and for a speedy birth and recovery.
Thank you for the joy that you share in nourishing your family; body, mind and spirit!
As labor draws near and begins to wash over me, I like to think on 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
Many blessings to you as your prepare to hold your newest little blessing! Maybe God fill you with His peace and joy as you bring a new life into this world… what a privilege!
This sounds absolutely lovely. I had been hoping to have a blessingway but as we are moving region when I'm 36 weeks pregnant I had been thinking about having a postal blessingway with my close friends that are being left behind. I really look forward to hearing more about the strength the love of others gives you during your labour. Sending you beautiful, positive birthing vibes.
I can't remember how I first found you, but I'm sure glad I did! I learned so much from your site while preparing for my labor and delivery, and I continue to learn more pertinent information as my sweet daughter grows.
I pray that God blesses you with a fabulous day (or night) as you experience the absolute joy and empowerment of birth! I know you and Daddypotamus and the kids will enjoy adding to your family. I'm very much looking forward to the video that you'll share with us. My very best wishes!
Heather , you are such an inspiration to so many people, you make such healthy choices for yourself and family! Your strong !
Hey sweet lady! I have often enjoyed the company of your blog posts. Thank you for candidly sharing your journey with us. I know that this sweet child will be a blessing to you. I have three children and each one contributes life and love and their own uniqueness to the family!
Here is my prayer for you:
Precious Jesus, I pray that you surround her with your peace. That you will wrap around her in comfort and strength. Be her rock. I pray that her child will be healthy and will bring much joy to his or her family. Amen
I am excited for the next part of your journey and look forward to hearing about it. Lots of love, Becky Z
My favorite birth quote:
"There is a secret in our culture, and it's not that birth is painful. It's that women are strong." ~ Laura Stavoe Harm
So blessed to have stumbled upon Mommypotamus while looking for natural help with a fever quite a while ago. You will be awesome and birth that baby with a saucy flair! Sending prayers your way.
You are currently doing the most beautiful thing anyone can do…giving birth to your new baby. Men can't do it. Only you. Do you know how special and wonderful you are? You were given this gift so that it may be carried on into future generations. Nothing this great comes without struggle. This pain will pass. As soon as you look into those tiny eyes, it will all disappear. You are so strong, so beautiful, and soon it will all make sense again. You can do this. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wishing you a safe and quick labor! I love babies!
You both are so amazingly fabulous, and inspirational. I frequently stumble onto your blog in my journeys around the interwebs, and your posts never fail to make me smile. And this one gave me goosebumps.
So, as a non-mom, I don't know the specifics, other than…PUUUUUUUSH, smile, and know that soon you'll be holding a little person in your arms that will challenge and delight you in the years to come. ::hugs::
You are strong. Your body is able. Birth is one of natures greatest miracles. It is the most natural thing your body could do! Let your mind rest while your body does the work.
Congratulations and I can't wait to hear about your newest addition
Heather and Daniel. I hope today goes easy and the way you want it to be. I had my baby via the conventional route (before I knew better) so it's hard for me to say anything related to natural births. I can say, however, that I wish you both a safe and easy delivery and I am sending you all sorts of positive vibes your way.
I can't wait to see photos!
I can't remember how I first found Mommypotamus but when I did, I fell in love! You are such a wonderful woman Heather and I look up to you and how you run your blog. You are an inspiration to all of us!

It's easier to negotiate display preference with retailers when your platform does not compete with them via digital sales. That's my theory and not an excuse for them. I couldn't be bothered either way, data costs way too much in South Africa for full game downloads to be viable for me. #1 Agree(12) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply The_Con-Sept + 1112d ago Understanding the consumer is crucial in this business. In fact in any business. This is simply what consumers have always wanted and have been enjoying thoroughly on Steam. It is a no brainer to be honest. Besides Wal Mart won't sell cd's unless the producer agrees to Wal Mart's terms. That may only be for the music industry but it's not a far cry from this happening to games. #1.1 (Edited 1112d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply nukeitall + 1112d ago That is why I don't think MS cares to release digital only games. That market is rapidly growing, but the demand for it is still far far far far outpaced by retail disc sales. #1.1.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report NeverEnding1989 + 1112d ago Microsoft seemed to be leading when it game to full game digital downloads earlier this generation. I remember this distinctly because PS3 fanboys swore that digital downloads would NEVER replace the physical format. I was impressed to see recently released games already available for download on the PSN store. Good for gamers I guess, but this will bring about the death of game stores much quicker than anticipated. I'm good with digital downloads, but I want to see more Steam like sales on Xbox Live and PSN (looks at full priced 5 year old map packs) #2 Agree(1) | Disagree(19) | Report | Reply sjaakiejj + 1112d ago You seem to remember things incorrectly.. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1... "In late 2007, Sony began releasing select PlayStation 3 titles as direct downloads. It was the first current-generation console to do so. " As a side note - Digital versions of the game won't replace retail copies for a long time. We don't have enough bandwidth for it to be feasible, nor will we in at least the next 10 years. #2.1 (Edited 1112d ago ) | Agree(13) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply NeverEnding1989 + 1112d ago The link you provided supports everything I have said. I didn't say Xbox 360 was first, I said Microsoft placed more of an emphasis on DD earlier on this gen. SONY has only just begun releasing games digitally on the first day as of September of this year, following Nintendo's lead. http://www.engadget.com/201... Thanks for the tip tho:) #2.1.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(9) | Report Knight_Crawler + 1112d ago @sjaak - you may now call NeverEnding Father. #2.1.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report ALLWRONG + 1112d ago It is true PS3 fanboys talked up Blu-Ray and now they defend digital downloads. They tend to flip flop like that. It's the same when they say "we don't play sales" then send you PM's talking about sales. #2.2 Agree(3) | Disagree(9) | Report | Reply sjaakiejj + 1112d ago DD's are shitty on consoles in general - PS3 allows the use of third party hard drives but games are like 25GB each. 360 only allows for insanely expensive proprietary drives, though games take up less space. In either case, you'll be off much cheaper if you just buy games from retailers. As for your statement about Ps3 fans flip flopping - that's not something exclusive to them. 360 and Nintendo fans do the exact same thing ;). Remember the whole "Ps3 has no games" arguments? #2.2.1 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report stone_cold + 1112d ago simply because Microsoft sucks #3 Agree(10) | Disagree(13) | Report | Reply dennett316 + 1112d ago Of course they do....go back to sleep little one, those big bad other consoles won't hurt you any more. Oh! I see you've wet your bed again, naughty boy. Now go ask Mummy and Daddy to buy you a 360 so you can get some perspective and stop being a silly little fanboy. #3.1 Agree(9) | Disagree(5) | Report | Reply shutUpAndTakeMyMoney + 1112d ago I think they are giving xbox users what they want or ask for. Making multi player free would be a bad move sice this is not what they ask for. Hey MS is successful so I can't tell them to do anything different. Not many new AAA IP's since gears 1. They won't allow cross play with portal 2 with steamworks. They make gamers pay for some free pc content like on l4d http://www.planetxbox360.co... & minecraft. Who else can come to e3 and show off dash boards for 10 mins? & skip all the other gaming events? they get a very special love from xbox gamers. This is the future. http://latimesblogs.latimes... But xbox gamer are a weird bunch or they have to many average joe casual gamers. imo. #3.2 (Edited 1112d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(8) | Report | Reply dennett316 + 1112d ago If you call releasing games at £59.99 for download "getting it right", then I suppose you could say Sony do. I wouldn't though, I think that's a colossal rip off by the various publishers. Sony let them set the prices, I think they need to change that policy and make it fall at least in line with physical copies....if not cheaper. Only then will downloading really take off. As it is, they take advantage of the lazy or those unwilling to shop around for good deals. Fair enough, it can be played on another console via content sharing, but it's still a lot of money for a single game. #4 Agree(6) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply sjaakiejj + 1112d ago "As it is, they take advantage of the lazy or those unwilling to shop around for good deals. " Then stop being lazy and search for good deals. I do it with anything I buy. To be fair, those people really aren't Sony's, Microsoft's or Nintendo's problem. In fact, those people earn them extra money - why would they change it? #4.1 Agree(5) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply dennett316 + 1112d ago It's kind of like taking advantage of a slow kid, it just doesn't seem right. Then again, if people are willing to pay such amounts, I can hardly blame publishers for not changing it. It just seems to me they'd get more sales if the content was much more reasonably priced. #4.1.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report sjaakiejj + 1112d ago I agree that they may earn more, but it's a tricky market at the moment due to limited bandwidth. The question is, how many people are willing to buy digital copies of games, and how many are able to? Given that the market is significantly smaller than that of retail copies, the higher prices may be out of necessity, in an attempt to regain the money they lost in making it digitally available. All that is speculation of course, there might be entirely different reasons for it #4.1.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report HmongAmerican + 1112d ago I know. How can they rip us off when there is no physical disk loyalty fees, but we still pay 60 for a digital copy. Just wait for a price drop seen right to me. It would be cool if PS+ members get a discount with new releases. #4.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Cam977 + 1112d ago Because they suck and are driven by money. If you disagree with that ten you're blinded by fanboyism. #5 Agree(2) | Disagree(8) | Report | Reply RivetCityGhoul + 1112d ago every company is driven by money dude. your the blinded one. #5.1 Agree(5) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply NeverEnding1989 + 1112d ago Well not SONY, they're blinded by trying to get money again #5.2 Agree(2) | Disagree(5) | Report | Reply iamgoatman + 1112d ago The irony. #5.3 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply ALLWRONG + 1112d ago I guess Sony does everything out of the kindness of their corporate hearts. Right? #5.4 Agree(1) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply Cam977 + 1111d ago • Do Sony have ads on the XMB? - No. • Do Sony charge you for PSN? - No. • Do Sony change their focus from gaming to a more profitable media-based service? - No. No. #5.4.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report edonus 1112d ago | Spam SOULJER 1112d ago | Bad language | show green + 1112d ago Until digital versions significantly undercut the retail versions, then i ain't interested.

I finally watched Tuesday's One Born Every Minute with the teen who was giving birth.
I always thought that if, heaven forbid, my daughter were to get pregnant before she turned 18 I wouldn't sign the waiver to allow her to have an epidural. Maybe use it as encouragement to make better choices?
Any teen moms whose parents are not going to sign for it?
Or am I just exceptionaly cruel? ha.
To be honest though, if I were put in that situation, I hope I handle myself like her parents did. With loads and grace and love.

the story of life is quicker than the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello and goodbye, until we meet again my friend.

Tricon Capital Group (TCN) - $6.21 - An Attractive Way To Play A Recovery In US Housing
Outperform, Above Average Risk, Price Target: $8.00
RBC CM believes TCN represents an attractive opportunity for investors to gain significant exposure to a recovery in U.S. housing (65% of TCN's assets under management (AUM) are in the U.S.). RBC CM sees the following catalysts for TCN shares in the next 12 months: (1) increased earnings from the U.S. rental housing strategy, which is not dependent on a further housing recovery; (2) realizations of previous investments which should start to increase performance fee generation; and (3) a continued gradual Improvement in U.S. housing. Furthermore, with only 35% of AUM in Canada, a potential Canadian housing downturn should be manageable for TCN, in RBC CM's view.

1. The right to food is probably the most well developed of all ESC rights; hence, the situation is even worse in all other fields of development.
2. See the Center for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution website.
3. Note that my professional experience is almost exclusively in sub-Saharan Africa, which is bound to color my insights. Most important, I am likely to overestimate the impact of aid and foreigners in my writing, as the footprint of the development community is much bigger in African countries than elsewhere.
1. The General Assembly was then a body of forty-eight states, of which fourteen were Western countries (all in favor), thirty-five third-world countries (thirtythree in favor, including India, Pakistan, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, Iraq; the two that abstained were Saudi Arabia and South Africa), and seven communist countries (all abstained, with the exception of China); two countries were not present to vote.
2. The United States still took twenty-six years to ratify even this covenant and did so with so many reservations and understandings that it substantially nullified its effect. It took until 1998 for China to ratify.
1. For some excellent discussions, see An-Na'im 1992; Steiner and Alston 2000, part B.
2. Some of the major developing countries such as India, China, Cuba, Lebanon, Panama, Egypt, and the Philippines also played a role in its drafting and voted in favor; see Glendon 2002.
3. Donnelly 1999b, 68; Tatsuo 1999, 31 ff.; Ignatieff 1999. Arjun Sengupta argues that human rights are deeply imbued with the values of free-market systems, but Donnelly adds the important corrective that this is more the European, welfare-state, market system than the one that is prevalent in the United States or Hong Kong.
4. Perhaps the most important author taking such a position is Martha Nussbaum.
5. Nussbaum 1997, 275. For a nice overview of various critiques, see Kennedy 2002.
6. Nussbaum argues that this is so because of the phenomenon of "adaptive preferences": people at the bottom of society often lower their expectations of life, to the extent of considering their fate normal and deserved, while those who are used to great luxury may deeply resent not having more (Nussbaum 1997).


text: I went out early to get a quick ride in on the Schuylkill River Trail this morning. Saw a kid in a bike seat drop a tennis ball and a rider on a Scott TT bike hit it at over 25 MPH. It was not a pretty site. Luckily the rider flipped over onto the grassy side of the path. The bike was toast. Front wheel now looks like a pretzel, fork broken, handlebar broken, and seat stay and chain stay on the drive side both cracked. Rider was shaken up, appears nothing on him broken, and he even avoided road rash. Other than the loss of a bike costing several thousand dollars he was lucky. The kid and his mother (I assume) never knew what havoc was caused.

Doing the right thing
I write to you today to say thanks for bringing to public light Montpelier resident Gwen Hallsmiths thoughtful and visionary work on the Vermont public bank issue, and the disturbing efforts of a few Montpelier city officials to try to shut down her voice behind the scenes.
We live in interesting times, and what we most need is courage, clarity of vision and compassion, even when we may disagree. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are under siege across the United States and globally it is good to see a Vermont newspaper like the venerable Times Argus stand up and do the right thing.
Heres to free speech, freedom of the press and a public bank for the once and future republic of Vermont.

10 Mind-Bending Foods Inception Fans Love
You get up in the morning and immediately beat The New York Times' crossword. You watch an episode of House and drive to work. Excel spreadsheets hold you over for a couple of hours, building the perfect model, but you crave more puzzles. You, mind-bending-puzzle-lover, demand that even your foods are mysterious and maze-like. You love foods with a catch, a twist or a surprise center. Inception has satisfied your intellectual itch, but you want more. So, here are some ideas for foods to become part of your life to satisfy those puzzle cravings.
Warning: we are attempting inception with this blog post.
That cinnamon roll looks awfully like...a MAZE.
1. Cinnamon Rolls - Row by row, you wheel the bread around to reveal the perfect ending!--a icing doused cinnamon bread center.
An homage to classic noir meals from the French New Meal Wave.
2. Turducken - You will be debating the origins of this theatrical, multiple source feature for hours after its end.
A candy "whodunnit."
3. Mystery Flavor Airhead - One of the Great Challenges of the 21st Century, the Airhead developed a mysterious albino strip of waxy, tarty, strange berried taffy. But what is the flavor? Who made it?
Robert Towne wrote the screenplay for this sandwich.
4. Pinwheel Sandwiches - The twists and turns! One minute it's ham, next thing you know it's salami. By the time you get to the climax, you experience a rush of mayonnaise and mustard -- and then you're tired and full.
What is this? ANOTHER LAYER?
5. Trident Layers Gum - Inception Fan, this is the gum you chew on a daily basis. It provides you the fast, puzzle fix: a new flavor tucked in the middle of your chewing experience.
This Alka-Seltzer ad deftly illustrates the action sequence about to occur.
6. Lobster - Yes, fan, this food is a total mind fuck. Strange claws and protruding eyes, a hammer and a bright red backed meat. You have to know where to cut and how to split right to get at that succulent climax.
7. Stuffed Burger - The slogan for this
movie burger is " The Burger is the Secret."
8. Durian Fruit - Perhaps the king fruit of misdirection, the durian fruit has a Shyamalan-like twist ending: it smells like shit.
Find your way to the center of this choke
9. Artichoke - Deep in the center of the alien plant, is the furry disc that is it's beating heart. Unleash your knife upon this, or you could choke on it's finale.
10. Giant Lollipops - You keep these in your house because they look like the perfect maze. Also the challenge: How do you get through the lollipop in one day?

Superstorm Sandy victims in need of shelter can remain at Fort Monmouth through the end of August, federal officials said.
Originally, the 57 families who remain at the fort had to find another place to stay by the end of April.
The extension came after state and federal officials - including Gov. Chris Christie and Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J. - requested Sandy victims be allowed to stay for more time in the former officers' quarters at the fort, which stretches through Tinton Falls, Eatontown, Shrewsbury and Oceanport. ...

State employees injured by carnival trailer wreck
WESTMINSTER An East Calais woman was one of two state employees injured Tuesday afternoon when a box truck hauling a carnival cotton candy trailer jackknifed on Interstate 91 and hit their car.
Vermont State Police said Patricia Ethier, 44, was driving the state Department of Labor car and Aaron Lewis, 38, no address given, was her passenger. Both were taken to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital. According to a state employee directory, both work for the Department of Labor in Montpelier.
A spokeswoman at the hospital said she could not confirm whether either was a patient there.
Police said both were wearing their seat belts.
Police said a box truck driven by Karl Blanton, of Lenoir, N.C., was southbound on Interstate 91 at about 1:45 p.m. when it left the road.
Both northbound and southbound traffic was reduced to one lane until the two state employees were freed from their vehicle, a Ford Fusion. Rescue workers cut the top off the vehicle, police said.MORE IN This Just In

FIBROSARCOMA of the kidney is an interesting and perplexing tumor. It has no respect for age, nor does it affect one side or one sex more commonly than the other. The presence of a mass in the flank is, as with most renal neoplasms, an important sign. More than 80% of all cases in the literature manifested themselves first as a flank mass. Pain was the next commonest finding, but there were cases in which the fibrosarcoma was a silent, painless tumor. Hematuria was, unfortunately, a late and inconstant finding. The constitutional symptoms of weight loss, malaise, anorexia, and anemia were legion in this group of patients.* We have recently seen a primary fibrosarcoma of the kidney in a 69-year-old woman and were stimulated to review the literature and to consider the pathogenesis, prognosis, and therapy of renal fibrosarcomas.
Report of Case
A 69-year-old woman was admitted to the University

Particles and Surfaces (CHNG5004)
Particles and Surfaces: Mineral Processing. Aims and Objectives: Solid-solid and solid-liquid interactions are an important aspect in mineral processing. The aim of any mineral processing operation is the efficient extraction of the valuable metals or minerals (concentrate) from the waste materials in the ore (gangue). The goal of this course is to understand the various key steps and the corresponding principles required to achieve metal extraction from the ores.
Syllabus summary: This course will elucidate the principles in size reduction or comminution of the ore in liberating the valuable minerals, examine the microscopic details of solid-liquid, solid-gas and solid-solid interactions in mineral processing and their roles in macroscopic phenomena such as adhesion, wetting, adsorption, and mineral reactions such as reduction roasting and leaching. The general understanding of these factors will allow manipulation and improvement of performance in mineral beneficiation, dewatering of mineral slurries and extractive metallurgy.
By the end of this course students should develop a proficiency in characterisation of physical, surface and chemical properties of solids and metal aqueous streams; devising strategies to achieve extraction process objectives, within the constraints imposed by social, economic and physical environments, developing management strategies for treating liquid and solid effluents and becoming familiar with computer software packages in modelling aqueous and solid systems. This UoS is an advanced Chemical Engineering elective.
