Nihilistic: There's no bigger cliché in the videogame industry right now than to say that a studio is re-organizing itself away from retail game development and toward the new challenges of downloadable and mobile games. Everyone knows retail sales are down, publishers are hurting, independent developers are suffering, blah blah blah. With this in mind, Nihilistic is announcing today that (OMG!) we are re-organizing our company after 14 years of working with retail boxed game development, and re-forming as nStigate Games, a new company focused on downloadable, on-line, and mobile games.
So is this newsworthy? Well, honestly it probably isn't, except that we are making this transition without any planned layoffs or leaving any debts behind. Nihilistic will fade into the sunset the way it started; a collaboration of talented folks dedicated to transparency and respect for employees.

First things first – If you do not already have a test machine, build one! - Download a trial version of Windows Server 2008 R2 and install it to a capable machine that you can use for study and learning.
Nothing beats hands-on experience. I guarantee you that you will learn faster and gain a deeper understanding if you have a machine you can touch and work with in person. I recommend a Quad-Core machine that has at east 16 gigs of RAM and reasonably fast hard drives. Preferably high capacity 7200 SATA drives. If you have access to a SAN/NAS that would be a plus.
With any exam you are preparing to take, knowing what to study can sometimes be more difficult than the exam itself. Fortunately, you can identify exactly what skills are measured for the 70-659 Exam at the Microsoft Learning Site.
I am creating mini-guides for each of the 6 Major sections below that will be posted each day this week and going into next. The guides will NOT give you the answers for the exam! The guides will give you guidance on what areas to focus on for study purposes. You will have to KNOW the product and related technologies before taking the exam! Build a test lab and get your hands dirty!
The information after "This objective may include but is not limited to" is intended to further define or scope the objective by describing the types of skills and topics that may be tested for the objective. However, it is not an exhaustive list of skills and topics that could be included on the exam for a given skill area. You may be tested on other skills and topics related to the objective that are not explicitly listed here. Study Guide!

Don't even know where to start. We left Barcelona punctually and we were taken to a city call Vic about a 40 minute drive. Once there we made a quick stop at a small café where we met the other drivers. We took a private ride strongly recommended. Our driver and his anchor were amazing cant remember their names but they both made sure we had a great time. This experience was in my bucket list and I was more than satisfied with the experience. Our tour was on Christmas eve, once we landed they surprised us with a very unique breakfast and drink. Grilled cheese sandwiches cooked with the fire from the hot air balloon right in front of you. Our driver back to Barcelona was also great cant remember her name. Overall we do not have one complain about this tour, loved it, and cant wait to do it again.

About Monitor
BGSU, it's time to log on and record your service hours.The University has set itself a challenge of contributing a million hours of service this year in honor of its Centennial. To keep track of that, it's important to go to the Centennial Service Challenge Web page and log your hours.The challenge is open to faculty, staff, students, retirees and alumni. Volunteer hours can be recorded both individually and for groups and organizations. "All sorts of volunteer hours can be recorded. It can also be a great community-building activity for departments or groups, to set their own challenge," said Dr. Jane Rosser, director of the Office of Service-Learning and coordinator of the Centennial service effort.Hours can be added at any time till the end of the year, and weekly totals will be posted on Monday mornings. One strategy for timely tracking might be to set a personal email reminder for Fridays to log on and post any volunteer hours, or for groups to designate someone to be the poster.Simply go to http://www.bgsu.edu/offices/service-learning/page76045.html and follow the links.Student Paul Hemminger, a member of the service challenge organizing committee, said, "I believe that service is to be the core of our studies and our morality. It should be ingrained in each of us that service to the world and the community is needed, necessary, and mandatory for personal and collective growth. With six degrees of separation between each one of us, that should spur each soul to own our civic responsibility to care for one another through actions, words and simple smiles." "The BGSU community has always been active in civic engagement," Rosser said. "This is a way to celebrate what we're already doing but also to challenge ourselves to move to the next level. We can use this year as a time to think more long range about what we'd like to do as a campus and to demonstrate our commitment to public engagement."One advantage of the online recording system is that it will eventually yield a picture of the impact BGSU has in its communities, both on campus and off. The site asks for brief descriptions of the type of service provided and the area of impact, such as the elderly or disaster relief."People are active in their faith communities and their children's schools. One of our committee members is going on a mission trip this spring and another is on the board of the Humane Society, for example," Rosser said. "With our new system, we will be able to see who has benefitted from our work."Students will also be able to use the record of their service for scholarship and job applications, she added, or as part of BGSU's new Leadership Certificate Program.Rosser hopes the site will encourage the campus to strive for the national President's Volunteer Service awards, which go to individuals and groups. The campus will hold a celebration event at the end of the year to recognize its volunteers' efforts.On a deeper level, Rosser said she hopes the challenge will encourage faculty and staff to talk about their own volunteerism with their students. "Many students don't see us as whole people who are actively engaged," she said. "If you talk about what you do and what you care about, you might inspire students to think about what they're passionate about and to get involved."A service activities calendar with listings of volunteer opportunities is in the works and should be up shortly as part of the University's main online calendar.The community can share its service activities with others on the Centennial Memories site, http://memories.bgsu.edu/cm10/, where they can post photographs, emails, videos stories and more. "This is a fun way to share our experiences," Rosser said.

GREAT SMOOTHIE YOU GOT HERE MIKE !! Great combo of ingredients, and flavors. Kind of reminded me of the days, that I was in South Texas near Mexico. I did add a tad pineapple juice to this. Made for PRMR tag.
Another awesome smoothie from Syd. This was so good. I love melons in smoothies. The flavors blend really nice is this tropical smoothie. I especially love the flavor that the papaya brings to the mix. I used all frozen fruit for this, so I mixed in a little pineapple juice. Thank you so much for sharing this tasty treat.
Wow. . .this SO reminds me of Mexico. . .sitting by the pool with a plate of fresh fruit! I did sub cantaloupe for the honeydew with excellent results. The papaya really stands out here. Mine was too thick for my blender, so I threw in 3 oz of unsweetened pineapple juice. I love low calorie smoothies like this. I am going to put a little in the fridge and mix it with some vodka tonight for a fruity martini. . .we shall see how that works!!! Made for Veg*n Tag June 2009.

Drink it after every meal, avoid sugar altogether, and don't go too long between meals.
I drink 1 cup a day before bed. It's calming and tastes great. I feel if I was to drink about 3 - 4 cups a day I might see a bigger difference.. but I am not a big tea drinker.
Never had acne in my life started getting it last year & I use to drink green tea for weight loss & then stopped.
Went back on green tea for my acne, within 1 day all whiteheads cleared up, inflammation went down & all acne cleared up, now i just have to get rid of the scars.
Now I'm just happy I can eat chocolate without breaking out & never giving up Green Tea.
I drink 4 cups of decaf. green tea from various brands such as Yogi and Lipton and it has done wonders to my skin!!! First off i think it tastes great and i prefer decaf because i can enjoy it just before bed time. It also has amazing health benefits and flushes out your whole system. If you haven't yet, pick up a box of green tea at your local store. You'll be surprised at how fast the results are.
This is for reviewing green tea as a topical: Using green tea topically didn't really help me. I purchased Organic 100% matcha green tea from Whole Foods and applied a tablespoon of fresh brew everyday for approx 3 weeks.
After the first week, my eyes became really puffy, so I was careful not to get green tea in my eyes.
After the 2nd week, I noticed parts of my cheeks are temple were getting increasingly red and irritated. Near the end of the 2nd week, I discontinued use due to the increasing irritation and the appearance of dead skin around my temple. During this entire experiment my acne worsened slightly.
Drink it straight or with natural lemon juice in it.
Keep it clean and healthy no added sugar and it should do the trick
I'm a 20 years old guy with acne. I drank 3 cups of green tea per day, before every meal, mixed with a bit of sugar, for 1 week. I also applied once or twice a day the tea bag on my face.
It did quite literally nothing for my acne. My advice is to not waste your time on home remedies since as the site says, they're largely ineffective. I tried it for like 10 days, but it's probably enough to see if it works or not.
I've been drinking this stuff for 2 days and I already see a noticeably improvement in my skin. My cystic acne spots have dried up and my face looks less red after just 2 days. I definately recommend this product as I think cystic acne has more to do with diet than hormones, I no longer get whiteheads that used to plague me. I recently did a complete diet overhall and have cut out dairy and caffeine completely. After 2 days I see improvements already.
I've been drinking tea daily since I was in my early teens, and in the past 5 or 6 years green tea has slowly taken over black tea as my tea of choice. I drink it plain, or with a little lemon juice depending on my mood, and I don't notice any discernible difference in my skin. Maybe it's because I've been a tea drinker for so long? I give it three stars because I will always recommend drinking green tea for its myriad health benefits, but as an acne treatment it doesn't cut it for me.
Green tea is really good and my acne is not 100% gone but I feel if I keep on drinking green tea it will help!

Referred abdominal pain
Conditions in the abdomen can present as pain referred to the chest, especially if there is inflammation along the diaphragm. Inflammation of the stomach, spleen, liver, or gallbladder can initially present with nonspecific pain complaints that may be associated with vague chest discomfort. Physical examination and time to allow the disease process to express itself often allow the appropriate diagnosis to be made. It is also the reason that the whole body is examined, even if the initial complaint is chest pain.

Best College Team (2008)
Arizona State University women's softball team
Not long ago, the question was, would the ASU women's fast-pitch team ever beat archrival Arizona in a regular-season game, much less win the conference championship and, gasp, the 2008 NCAA College World Series? After all, it was the Wildcats who were two-time defending national champs going into this year's Division I playoffs in Oklahoma City. Even after ASU had swept Arizona in its three-game season series this season, most fast-pitch pundits still viewed the Sun Devils as pretenders to the crown worn so often by their hated opponents to the south. But come next season, ASU will be the defenders, not the pretenders, after sweeping through the field (which included Arizona) and winning the whole enchilada, thanks in large part to the remarkable, five-win pitching performance of senior southpaw Katie Burkhart. Head coach Clint Myers deserves huge kudos for taking a program that famously underachieved again and again under his predecessor and climbing with his young charges to the very top of the women's fast-pitch ladder.

If they do actually have the keys, it would be trivial to decrypt a new game, and post a video of it running.
Portal 2 would be a good gimme.
I think JFW DH will somehow be able to play new games without the need to fix the Eboot.bin and replace it (Just my guess ), but it would be good if they post a video of Portal 2 running on their CFW once they do get 3.60+ games working (if they do ).
If they have the keys to decrypt games they can add them directly to the appldr key table - so you won't *need* to decrypt to play - but it can still prove they have them.
They haven't even gotten 3.60+ games to work yet so there is nothing to prove yet .
This is too good to believe. Please DemonHades just show us a simple proof. With all due respect, people are tired of promises and want to see proof to believe.
Al that said we must not forget that DH and Deank are not like 'friends' too say the least and that therefor JFW will never support MM.
I for one am not going to give up on MM after all Dean has done so far. Then again, if there truly is a way to have FW 3.6+ games running,
I'm sure it will not be long before Dean figures out too and have MM updated in an instance
I'm pretty sure people will find a way to get multiMAN working on JFW DH .
Seriously, if DemonHades is really telling the truth about 3.6+ and 3.7+ games are running on his Firmware, then this is perfect! If they allow us to install other Homebrew Applications on JFW DH, then there's no need for another CFW... GOOD WORK GUYS!
It sounds promising if they can pull it off, but time will tell, not that long left and if it does then it IS worth waiting for...

Mainstream media were taken aback when television and radio talk show host Glenn Beck recently hosted a rally on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The throng of people assembled to celebrate and hear more about religious and civic values than about partisan politics.
Naturally, the likes of CBS News trotted out "experts" that declared the crowd to be about 80,000 people. Take it from someone who used to perch on the balcony of the Capitol to watch events: Even the folks at CBS had to be laughing among themselves at such an underestimation of the crowd's size.
We all know it was really hundreds of thousands. We know, too, that there was no politically charged rhetoric that day. Instead, the rally was a new high point in the meteoric career of the unusual Beck. The self-taught historian appears to be grasping for something beyond just politics. He was long dismissed by media elites as a flake. Now his detractors are starting to fear him as much as they loathe him. He's becoming a cultural force.
Yet none of this diminishes the work and influence of Beck's Fox News colleague Sean Hannity. In my 2008 book on the presidential race, I noted that in the closing days of the Obama-McCain race, then-candidate Obama seemed more obsessed with the comments and challenges coming from Hannity on his TV and radio shows than with anything John McCain had to say.
Hannity was warning that Obama's historical ties to extreme liberals -- now often called "progressives" -- did not bode well for the prospective make-up of the staff of an Obama White House, or of the overall tone of his administration.
As an objective pollster, I did as many did in giving President Obama the traditional "honeymoon period" of suspended judgment. Not Sean Hannity. As soon as the president took the oath of office, Hannity was questioning the agenda and the personnel decisions of the new administration.
Hannity's fans know that he is unabashed in his willingness to fight for a cause before it seems remotely winnable. Over the last year, he was among the first to see that congressional Democrats were in serious trouble of losing majority control in the House, and perhaps even the Senate.
The near-mystical aura surrounding Beck has been the subject of intense analysis and scrutiny. His mixture of historical context for contemporary issues, dedication to a higher cause and rigorous self-examination has made him an intriguing figure with a compelling message.

Outkast's Andre 3000 is allergic to following trends. If the rest of the
hip-hop nation is busy making videos showing off their spinners and pimp cups, you
can bet Dre will be running in the other direction.
Luckily, his longtime collaborator and friend, video director Bryan Barber, totally gets Dre's style, which (somewhat) explains the look of the video for "Hey Ya!," the first single
from The Love Below, Dre's half of Outkast's new double album, due Tuesday.
"I had that song about a year ago and one day I was sitting in the car with
Dre and I said, 'Wouldn't it be great if we did a video with a spin on the
Beatles' first appearance on 'Ed Sullivan?' " Barber said. "With the way the song
is arranged, with all these different levels and characters, it is something
we could pull off and it would be totally different from what anyone would
expect Outkast to do."
Dre had never seen the Beatles footage, so the excitement of watching it more
than half a dozen times with Barber gave him the idea for a fresh spin on the
clip. "Dre was really into it. But he never wants to repeat anything," Barber
said. "So he said, 'Let's not do Sullivan. Let's make it seem like the
Americans invaded England.' That's why the Love Below Band is performing on an
English show in the video, but eliciting the same kind of wild response the
Beatles did when they first played Sullivan's program in February of 1964."
The cleverly edited clip melds the screeching-girl excitement of Beatlemania
with the "Matrix"-like sight of the eight-man Andre 3000 supergroup performing the song. Though the high-energy rapper brings all the characters to life and makes it seem easy, the shoot required some mind-numbing work.
Filmed over two days in August on a soundstage at the Universal Studios lot in Los Angeles with a cast of more than 100 screaming female extras, Barber said the shoot was fun, but grueling. "The girls were so energetic and they loved the song so much that they stayed after they were done and watched Dre's performance," the director said. "It wasn't like they were running for the door right after they were done."
While the extras were merely expected to get excited and "shake it like a Polaroid picture," Dre had to perform the song top to bottom 23 times, said Barber, who also directed the clips for Outkast's "The Whole World" and "Land of a Million Drums."

"He had to do each character three times because we would shoot each one from three different angles. I've been best friends with Dre for a long time and I know about all the instruments he plays and his passion for music. This video was the perfect way to express that. I told him he should play all the characters and instruments, because no other artist could pull this off. Dre is always willing to take a chance."
Dre plays eight different characters in the clip: mellow acoustic
guitarist Johnny Vulture, funky backup trio the Love Haters, bassist Possum
Jenkins, crazed drummer Dookie Blasingame, lead singer Andre "Ice Cold" 3000 and
nerdy keyboardist Benjamin Andre.
The repeat performances might explain why bandleader "Ice Cold" 3000 is a
kinetic ball of energy, bouncing and shimmying all over the stage, while
Vulture, filmed last, spends most of his time sitting on a stool, smiling and
chilling. "At that point, Andre was really tired," Barber said of the final series of shots.
Barber, 29, was reluctant to divulge the secret of how he was able to combine
all the performances together seamlessly. The only thing he would say was
that it was an old Hollywood trick using a special "motion control" camera that
allows a director to lock the camera off and shoot people in the same frame,
then edit them together afterwards.
If he's not going to reveal his secrets, Barber could at least explain why a
coffin full of flowers is sitting in the middle of the stage on an otherwise
shiny, happy set, right?
"We originally had a totally different song and different idea for the video that involved a casket," Barber explained. "But we decided we should keep the casket anyway, since the name of the album is The Love Below, which kind of ties in. The album is about a guy searching for love: his love of music, women, his mother, and we wanted to bring the casket in to play up the theme of this guy wondering, 'Is love dead? And can we revive it?' "
Barber said the concept (and the coffin) will tie into the other videos the
pair plan to film for the album, including a clip for "She Lives in My Lap," which
was to be Dre's first single. That video, featuring Rosario Dawson, will now
come out next year and coincide with a musical Outkast are shooting for HBO
based on the Speakerboxxx/The Love Below album (see "Outkast Album Preview: From The Whole World To The Entire Universe" ).

The 55-year-old Crivitz man who allegedly killed his ex-girlfriend at a gas station in Wausaukee appeared in Marinette County Circuit Court on Thursday.
Police arrested Richard Heyer last summer for the murder of 51-year-old Ann Schueller. Heyer pled not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect last month. After undergoing the evaluation, the result showed no mental defect.
"The court doctor who examined him thinks that he's responsible for his conduct," said Allen Brey, District Attorney. "The doctor examined him and it's the doctor's opinion that, no, the defense doesn't find that he's responsible for his conduct."
The judge is allowing the defense attorney to hire a physician to run another examination. Heyer is expected to appear in court on March 22 for a final motion hearing. His trial is scheduled for May.

The Mario Chalmers Experience
By John Krolik
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Mario Chalmers leads the Miami Heat in coaching-staff-indigestion-per-possession.
There are two schools of thought about what a role player needs to do to be successful alongside a player capable of taking over a game offensively at any time, let alone three of them.
The first is that a role player in that situation should be a player who supplements his superstar teammates by making low-risk contributions: provide defense and rebounding, convert open shots and opportunities at the basket and make smart, simple passes to keep the ball moving and in the hands of the superstars. When every possession has the potential to end in a shot for LeBron James, Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh, a role player giving one away is an unforgivable sin.
The second theory is that a great offense, like a great defense, should consist of five players "on a string," with every player ready and willing to make an aggressive drive to the basket, a home-run pass or look for his own shot whenever the opportunity presents itself, instead of simply being passive and waiting for the superstars to get the job done.
The Heat have looked at their most vulnerable when the latter scenario has occurred. They've seemed to be content, at times, to watch each other operate instead of looking to put constant pressure on defenses with constant movement of man and ball.
The Heat's most talented and headache-inducing role player, the mercurial Mario Chalmers, provides a good argument for both points of view.
Chalmers has perhaps the best college pedigree of any Heat player. He played three years at Kansas, and shot 51.6 percent from the field and 46.8 percent from beyond the arc in his final season. He won a NCAA championship against Derrick Rose's Memphis team in that season, making a 3-pointer over Rose with seconds remaining in regulation to force OT in the title game. His Draft Express profile said that one of his strengths was being "
relatively mistake-free
." In spite of that, Chalmers often looks like he came to the Heat straight out of an AAU tournament, for better or for worse.
Chalmers is, by a wide margin, the Heat's most fearless role player on both offense and defense, and that often serves him well. He's never afraid to go into the teeth of the defense when a lane opens, and he will often finish the play with a nice pass or a floater in the lane. He's not an automatic 3-point shooter, but he knocks down a fair share of the ones he takes, and he seldom shows hesitation when he gets an open catch-and-shoot 3 opportunity. When he gets chased off the 3-point line, he's confident enough to take a dribble or two and fire a 20-footer, which he makes at a high rate.
Defensively, he's capable of making a big play at any time. He never backs down from a defensive challenge and uses his unbelievably long arms and aggressive defensive style to record 2.31 steals per 48 minutes, which was the highest margin on the Heat by a fairly wide margin. (LeBron came in second, with 1.94 steals per 48.) On both ends of the court, Chalmers gives the Heat a dimension that no other role player can, with the possible exception of a healthy and confident Mike Miller.
That's the good news. The bad news is that Mario Chalmers makes mistakes. A lot of mistakes. And not the usual mistakes (take a contested 20-footer with 18 seconds on the shot clock, force a pocket pass into a defense that's already collapsed, over-help and leave a shooter open, etc.).
Mario Chalmers makes
mistakes. He makes "first 20 minutes of a Disney sports movie" mistakes. A compilation of Chalmers' mistakes could be made into the kind of video for young point guards the way they show horrific car crashes to kids in driving school.
Chalmers' aggressive defense cuts both ways. He averaged 4.8 fouls per 48 minutes, which was the third-highest mark among point guards this season. When you consider that most of Chalmers' fouls come on players handling the ball 30 feet from the basket or going up for jump shots as opposed to players looking for layups, that's a staggering number.
Chalmers doesn't turn the ball over that often, but his turnovers are often jaw-dropping. His unusually high handle turns the normally serene first eight seconds of a possession into an adventure when token full-court pressure is applied, and it's often impossible to discern where passes that end up becoming turnovers were intended to go.
Chalmers played the most minutes of any non-Big Three player during the regular season, and he's one of the three players whose style warrants its own adjective. A "Jamesian" play is a play where LeBron's sheer talent renders both macro and micro fundamentals temporarily moot. A "Wade-like" play is a play made possible by Wade's unparalleled ability to get to any spot on the court at any time in a way that should not be geometrically possible. (The exact meaning of "Like a Bosh" seems to shift on a daily basis, so I won't touch it here.)
A "Chalmersian" sequence is one where Chalmers makes a play that no other Heat role player is willing or capable of making immediately before or after making a mistake that no Heat role player should be excused from making.
The most Chalmersian moment of this series came in Game 3, when Chalmers followed up a beautiful bullet pass that set up Wade with a dunk with a hopeless outlet pass that was picked off at midcourt 19 seconds later. The most Chalmersian moment of the season came against the Bulls in the regular season, when Chalmers hit a 3 and a layup to put the Heat up two points with 25 seconds remaining, only to foul Luol Deng on a jump shot eight seconds later and give the Bulls what ultimately became a game-winning three-point possession.
Here's the thing: For all his flaws, the Heat need Chalmers, both in the short term and the long term. His nearly flawless performances off the bench in Games 3 and 4 were key to the team's victories. And if the Heat want to get the five additional wins they need for a title, they will need Chalmers' active defense, his physicality, his outside shooting, his ability to create off the dribble and his fearlessness, even if some crazy mistakes accompany those attributes.
In the future, Chalmers becomes even more important. Mike Bibby isn't getting any younger, and his contract expires after this season. The Heat don't have any draft picks of real value in the near future, and Chalmers and Dexter Pittman are the only players on the Heat roster 25 or younger.
Trying to picture how Chalmers would play without making mistakes is like trying to picture how Bosh would play without having arms, but if Chalmers stays healthy throughout training camp and can add a dash of maturity to his obvious talent, the Heat could potentially have something in him that they currently lack -- a true fixture at point guard and an opportunity for improvement without having to make a roster move.

1.5 oz Dry Gin
1.0 oz Simple Syrup
0.5 oz Lemon Juice
0.5 oz Lime Juice
Two Drops Orange Flower Water
Two Drops Vanilla Extract
2 oz Heavy Cream
White of 1 Egg
Shake all ingredients vigorously WITHOUT ice to emulsify them.
Fill shaker with large ice. Shake the drink until your arm tires.
Strain into a collins glass.
Top with a splash of Club Soda, chopping a bar spoon up and down in the glass as you fill to create a thick head.
* * *
In our recent post on Whiskey Stones, Lars revealed his discovery that shaking a drink longer not only makes it colder but adds greater effervescence. He's going a full thirty seconds on his cocktails, and the difference, he tells us, is remarkable. Of course, I can't let Lars enjoy anything without throwing a new challenge his way — that's what friends are for, right — so here's a drink that not only defines his fair city of New Orleans (some proclaim it should be the official drink) but one which also calls for 12 minutes of shaking!
Are we really going to shake for 12 minutes? Of course not (but don't tell Lars). While a large part of me is inclined to believe that the 12 minutes is marketing propaganda from yore, I suspect that it might just elevate one of the world's greatest concoctions to absolute manna from heaven status. The drink is so good that the inimitable Charles H. Baker (one of the great gifts to the world of food and drink), proclaimed it "synonymous with the finest in all the New Orleans art".
Fortunately, unlike 99% of cocktail lore, the Ramos Gin Fizz has a very clear lineage. It was created in 1888 by Henry C. Ramos while at the Meyer's Table d'Hotel Internationale in New Orleans. Later, when Ramos opened the Imperial Cabinet Saloon, he naturally took the drink with him. The recipe was secret, so if you wanted one, you came to Henry. The drink became so popular that during the 1915 Carnival season, Ramos employed more than thirty "shaker boys" to mix them. The first shaker would literally shake the drink as long as he could then pass it to the next shaker, and so forth. Thirty shakers at Lars' thirty seconds a piece? Suddenly, 12 minutes doesn't look so unrealistic. Tragically, unlike most of his competition, Henry Ramos obeyed the laws of the 18th Amendment and closed permanently. Following the repeal of Prohibition, Ramos sold his recipe and name to the Roosevelt Hotel and, thankfully, it continued to live on.
If you need more proof of just how great a drink this is, consider a story we've danced around here at 12 Bottle Bar but not yet fully addressed. In 1935, once Louisiana Governor and then Louisiana Senator Huey Long had flown to New York City — and to the very public Hotel New Yorker specifically — to publicly attack President Roosevelt's New Deal — "Why don't they hold the Democratic convention and the Communist convention together and save money?" Finding that no one in the Big Apple could properly make his beloved Ramos Gin Fizz, Long flew up Sam Guarino, the head bartender from the Roosevelt Hotel, to teach the New York bartenders a thing or two. "Now this here chap knows how to mix a Ramos Gin Fizz," Long explained.
This is a brunch drink — or, more to the point, a morning after drink — which makes it perfect for a long holiday weekend. My recipe comes directly from Chris McMillian, one of the finest barmen in New Orleans if not the world. If Huey were alive today, Chris is the man he'd fly halfway across the world to make him a drink. You can see him in action, making a Ramos Gin Fizz, here.
By the way, Charles H. Baker recommended using a blender. Don't.
Finally, a note on Orange Flower Water. This is a wonderful ingredient to keep around your bar and kitchen. It's necessary if you plan to make your own grenadine, and I occasionally like to splash a couple of drops into a drink like a Gin and Tonic just to mix it up. It's inexpensive, and Bevmo carries it, as do many fine food stores and ethnic markets. Somewhere along the line, I was steered towards the French version over the Middle Eastern version. I can't remember exactly why, but I reasoning was sound at the time. I'll pass that along, for what it's worth. Also, don't substitute anything else for it — it won't work.
Nun's Farts: If you're buying Orange Flower Water for your Ramos Gin Fizz, you'll have plenty left over for a healthy batch of Nun's Farts (seen in the picture above). Yes, you heard me correctly. Pets de Nonne (Nun's Farts) are an airy pâte à choux fritter that date back several centuries. They are more properly called beignets soufflès, and while they are quite different from the beignets of Cafe du Monde, they are stupidly simple to make and, like the Ramos Gin Fizz, one of the reasons to exist on this earth. I use the recipe here:

While a little complicated to make compared to my usual cocktails, this one shines as being very different. This is a first for me on many levels: first drink with egg, first drink with alcohol and cream, and first use of orange flower water in anything. Delicious, and worth every ounce of work that went into it. I used Plymouth gin, as Leopold's is not available in my area, and half&half instead of heavy cream, but WOW. What a masterpiece. Thanks, 12 Bottle Bar, for 1) guiding me through my course of learning about gin, and 2) introducing me to this masterpiece.
Brad — our pleasure. It's a wonderful drink, isn't it?
Love the site, have been following for several years. As a native Louisianian I am glad to see your addition to several New Orleans haunts. Make sure you get to Arnauds French 75 next time in!
Anyway, I LOVE the Ramos Gin Fizz since having it at the Carousel Bar, but I noticed your picture it looks orangish. Is that the flash from the camera discoloring it or did you manage to somehow end up with an orange RGF?
Keep it up!
Thanks, Brian! It's been a couple of years since I took that picture, so I can't tell you exactly why it turned so orange. It may have been some post-processing.
Aw, this was an extremely good post. Finding the time and actual effort to make a top notch article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a whole lot and never seem to get anything done.

Level of DifficultyA Bit Difficult
Time to do repair:30 - 60 mins
ToolsScrew drivers, Socket set, Wrench (Adjustable)
CustomerThomas from North Attleboro, MA
Removed panel in back of fridge. Disconnected water line. Removed outlet valve housing and disconnected wiring. New part is a retro-fit and was modifiable to fit into same space as old part. Reconnected wiring and water line. Turned water back on to test. Checked water dispenser in front door panel. All good. Replaced panel and wheeled back into place.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Level of DifficultyEasy
Time to do repair:15 - 30 mins
ToolsNutdriver, Pliers, Wrench set
CustomerBill from Hot Springs Village, AR
Turned refrig off, pulled it out for access to the valve, unplugged refrig and turned off water supply to the outlet valve. I made the installation a bit more difficult by over tightening the supply line connection which ruined the brass compression washer. I replaced it with a plastic compression washer which is probably better since the supply line is plastic. The electrical connections were very simple. I was just guessing the old outlet valve was bad since I had checked the filter. After replacing the valve, the ice maker and water dispenser work like new on a 17 year old refrigeration. Also, I was very pleased with fast processing and delivery of the order.
Level of DifficultyReally Easy
ToolsNutdriver, Socket set, Wrench (Adjustable)
CustomerCharles from Sacramento, CA
The part received was a straight replacement part - no modification required, just a simple remove and replace. This made the job really easy. Used the socket set to lower the front wheels to move the refrigerator, the nutdriver to remove the back cover and the valve, and the adjustable wrench to remove the water line. I had to cut the supply line tubing because the ferrule was too far up the line to make a good seal (minor leak quickly corrected with parts available in the kit - nice touch!) What took the most time was cleaning the coils and lint, etc. - hey I hadn't moved the unit in years! - but I did not include the 45-60 minutes this took in the repair time. Directions supplied were clear and easy to follow - but in my case I could have done the job without them - easy to see what needed to be done, but the stated precautions were nice.
ToolsNutdriver, Screw drivers
CustomerWalter from Willis, TX
The replacement valve was identical to the old one, so I didn't have to use any of the adapter parts sent with the new valve. This made the installation rather simple. After removing the back cover on the lower part of the refrigerator, I turned off the water and electrical supplies, and removed the water supply line to the valve. Then I removed the two screws securing the valve to the refrigerator. Next, I removed the two electrical connections from the valve, and unscrewed the plastic nuts holding the tubing to the valve. I didn't have to use a wrench to do this as they were hand tight, so when I attached the tubing to the new valve I tightened the nuts hand tight. This seemed to be sufficient and avoided the possibility of stripping the nuts. After checking for leaks, I attached the electrical connections and secured the new valve to the refrigerator. Then I attached the water supply line, but before replacing the back cover, I turned on the refrigerator, and let it cycle through it's first load of ice.
ToolsNutdriver, Screw drivers, Wrench (Adjustable)
CustomerKenneth from Davenport, IA
Pulled close out panel exposing valve kit. Removed water lines, removed retaining screw, removed both electrical connections. Installed electrical connections on new valve, installed assembly, connected water lines. Replaced ice maker by removing three screws, unplugged connection. Installed connector on new unit , installed screws and plugged in unit. Everything worked just fine.

An 007 Only Schumer Could Love
The new 007 -- Brit actor Daniel Craig -- has declared himself opposed to guns in general and handguns in particular. He said, "I hate handguns. Handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other." The only remedy for Craig would be to cast Cindy Sheehan as his love interest in the forthcoming "Casino Royale."

text: Another FaceOff-ish piece? Not exactly like my other ones in that it's more an exaggeration of a creature rather than a redesign of a makeup. This was inspired by Season 4 Episode 3, 'When Hell Freezes Over'. The makeup this was based on did not turn out well at all, but I really loved the idea of elongated limbs and also I wanted to draw a goblin shark face so here we are. Eurynomos! A corpse-eating demon. I forgot that it was covered in sores, woops.

Although the Legal Defense Fund was initially ready to follow the logic of public school precedents in higher education, the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education was unwilling to sacrifice black colleges to the unseen benefits of further desegregation. The NAFEO brief injected into the proceedings important reminders of educational and racial reality. Black educators had long realized that racial identifiability was a symptom of other factors: the lack of access to white schools because of economic and academic barriers, but also, the positive supportive environment black students found on black campuses. They also had long recognized that the inadequacies of black colleges were due not to race itself, but to the inadequate funding, diminished status, and ill-defined educational roles allotted to them.
The experience and perceptions of black educators helped the Adams suit evolve from its original preoccupation with racial identifiability to its acceptance of increased access for black students, enhanced offerings at black colleges, and a more active role for blacks in educational decision making. This change in direction, embodied in HEW's Amended Criteria, was a first step to reconciling the demands for both equal right and equal opportunity. By recognizing the rights of black students to full access to white schools and, at the same time, the importance of institutions founded to serve the unique needs of black people, the definition of desegregation in 1977 suggested the possibility that black students and black colleges might be both black and equal.

Objects spotted in Indian Ocean may be debris from Malaysia Airlines CNN com
- Uploaded by Will-Ease on Mar 20, 2014

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (CNN) -- Two objects spotted in the southern Indian Ocean may be debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Australian authorities said Thursday. The objects are indistinct but of "reasonable size" -- the largest about 24 meters long (79 feet), said John Young, general manager of emergency response for the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. They were "probably awash with water and bobbing up and down," he said. "If that piece of the plane is that big, maybe it's the tail section" said David Gallo, who co-led the search for Air France Flight 447, which crashed in the Atlantic Ocean in 2009. But he warned that the size gave him a degree of concern. "It's a big piece of aircraft to have survived something like this," he said. http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/20/world sia/malaysia-airlines-plane/index.html?sr=sharebar_twitter

Licensure & Discipline
The Supreme Court of Tennessee reinstated the law license of Nashville lawyer Lee Michael Sprouse on March 10. Sprouse had been temporarily suspended on Feb. 4 for failing to respond to the Board of Professional Responsibility regarding a complaint of misconduct. Sprouse filed a petition to dissolve the temporary suspension and a panel appointed to hear the case recommended that the suspension be dissolved.
The law licenses of two Davidson County lawyers were transferred to disability inactive status: Frank A. Woods on March 10 and Penny Jo Mills on March 12. Woods and Mills may not practice law while on disability inactive status, but may return to the practice of law after reinstatement by the Tennessee Supreme Court.
On March 18, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Michael Lee West from the practice of law after finding that he misappropriated funds to his own use and that his continued practice law posed a threat of substantial harm to the public. The court also directed West to provide the location and account number of any trust account over which he has signatory authority or control, and enjoined him from making any withdrawals from those accounts without advance approval from the Board of Professional Responsibility.
The Tennessee Supreme Court on March 21 suspended Knox County lawyer Rebecca C. Vernetti for three years and ordered her to pay the costs and expenses of the disciplinary proceeding within 90 days. The court found that Vernetti made misrepresentations to the court and opposing counsel, failed to maintain disputed funds in her trust account, used disputed funds for her personal benefit, shared legal fees with a non-attorney husband and failed to maintain professional independence. Vernetti submitted a conditional guilty plea admitting violations of Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15, 3.3, 4.1, 5.4 and 8.4.
Williamson County lawyer John Jay Clark was suspended from the practice of law on March 25 for failing to adequately communicate with clients and failing to diligently pursue client cases. The court allowed the one-year suspension to be served on probation so long as Clark engages a practice monitor, complies with recommendations from the Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program, pays restitution to clients and pays the costs of the disciplinary proceeding. Clark submitted a conditional guilty plea acknowledging violations of Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3, 1.4 and 8.4(a).
Thomas Francis diLustro, formerly of Knoxville, was disbarred by the Tennessee Supreme Court on March 25. In 2012, a petition for discipline was filed against diLustro based on three complaints of misconduct. After reviewing the allegations, the court determined diLustro failed to represent his clients in a diligent manner, failed to keep clients reasonably informed about the status of their cases, failed to promptly respond to numerous reasonable requests for information, forged his client's signature to a parenting plan and submitted the document to the court for approval, falsely testified under oath regarding the signature on the parenting plan and failed to act promptly to correct an erroneous child support order. The court found that these actions violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3, 1.4, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 8.1 and 8.4.
Compiled by Stacey Shrader Joslin from information provided by the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court. Licensure and disciplinary notices are included in this publication as a member service. The official record of an attorney's status is maintained by the board. Current information about a particular attorney may be found on the board's website at www.tbpr.org/consumers/attorneysearch.

Monday the Los Angeles Dodgers and owner Frank McCourt filed for bankruptcy. So far no word on a replacement for McCourt who has owned the Dodgers for a while. One rumor had Dallas Mavericks' owner and newly crowned NBA Champion Mark Cuban being interested. McCourt would still like to own the team, but it is not likely he will get a $150 million loan.
Overall, there is no real hard information. Its a bad situation, which stemmed from McCourt's horrible divorce from wife Jamie. The team itself has not been doing so well. Ticket sales are drastically down from 25,000 to 17,000. It needs new ownership. It is possible the league will step in and help one of its most storied franchises.
We will keep an eye on this story.
And Let Us Say…Amen.

When updating a data table in SQL Server using LINQ to SQL and the SubmitChanges() method you may encounter the following exception:
System.Data.Linq.ChangeConflictException: Row not found or changed.
at System.Data.Linq.ChangeProcessor.SubmitChanges(ConflictMode failureMode)
at System.Data.Linq.DataContext.SubmitChanges(ConflictMode failureMode)
The error in itself is not too hard to understand, you are simply trying to update by using an UPDATE statement that doesn't update anything.
The most common reason is that someone (or something) has changed the data in the database between you retrieving the data and you updating the data.
What happens in the background when you call SubmitChanges is that there is an inspection of the rows (objects) in the data context data table.
If it detects any changes, it builds an SQL statement based on the values that it have and then it executes this statement.
This statement is basically taking the values that were retrieved from the database and then uses them in the WHERE clause of the UPDATE, however, this UPDATE will fail
of course if values have changed before you execute the UPDATE, it will be a bit clearer below, this approach is called optimistic concurrency and this is what LINQ to SQL uses.
Now, the problem is that the exception is not very verbose. You may have several tables in your dbml with many columns and rows.
So what column value has changed (and in what table) and is causing us trouble. As usual, let's do this with a demo.
First create a new table in your SQL Server and insert some rows:
create table Employee (Id int primary key, FirstName nvarchar(20), LastName nvarchar(20), Location nvarchar(20))
insert into Employee values (1, 'Mike', 'Spike', 'Stockholm')
insert into Employee values (2, 'John', 'Johnsson', 'London')
insert into Employee values (3, 'Peter', 'Peterson', 'Paris')
insert into Employee values (4, 'Lars', 'Larsson', 'New York')
Then create a new C# console application. Then Add->New Item->LINQ to SQL classes, call it Employee.dbml
Drag the table you just created from your server onto the designer and Save.
Our objective is to change the location for employees in London to have their location set to Paris.
Our problem is that between we have retrieved the data and made the change and submitted it, a quicker colleague has already done this.
So when we load the data, the London location still exists in the database, when we save it, it does not.
Then the code for the application should be:
static void Main(string[] args)
EmployeeDataContext edc = new EmployeeDataContext();
// Get all Employees that work in London.
var empInLondonQuery = from e in edc.Employees where e.Location.Equals("London") select e;
// Write out employess were are changing location for:
foreach (var Employee in empInLondonQuery)
Console.WriteLine("Changing location for {0}, {1}:", Employee.LastName, Employee.FirstName);
// Change location
Employee.Location = "Paris";
// Now emulate the other user by changing the Location before we submit our change.
Console.WriteLine("Now update the Employee table by running this is SQL Server Management Studio:");
Console.WriteLine("\t update Employee set Location = 'Paris' where Location = 'London';");
Console.WriteLine("And hit any key...");
// Finally submit the changes
catch (Exception ex)
Run it, update the database when prompted, and you should get the "Row not found or changed" exception.
Not very descriptive. So in order to see what is going on, we can first enable the Log for the data context so that we can see what SQL is being used,
secondly we can catch the ChangeConflictException and then query the ObjectChangeConflict and MemberChangeConflict classes.
So, change the code above to look as follows:
edc.Log = Console.Out;
// Get all Employees that work in London.
Console.WriteLine("Now update the Employee table by running this is SQL Server Management Studio:");
catch (ChangeConflictException cce)
foreach (ObjectChangeConflict occ in edc.ChangeConflicts)
MetaTable metatable = edc.Mapping.GetTable(occ.Object.GetType());
Console.WriteLine("\nTable name: {0}\n", metatable.TableName);
foreach (MemberChangeConflict mcc in occ.MemberConflicts)
Console.WriteLine("Member: {0}", mcc.Member);
Console.WriteLine("\tCurrent value: {0}", mcc.CurrentValue);
Console.WriteLine("\tOriginal value: {0}", mcc.OriginalValue);
Console.WriteLine("\tDatabase value: {0}", mcc.DatabaseValue);
and rerun it (you have to change the Location back to London, otherwise there will be no rows selected).
Now the output should be as follows:
SELECT [t0].[Id], [t0].[FirstName], [t0].[LastName], [t0].[Location]
FROM [dbo].[Employee] AS [t0]
WHERE [t0].[Location] = @p0
-- @p0: Input NVarChar (Size = 6; Prec = 0; Scale = 0) [London]
-- Context: SqlProvider(Sql2008) Model: AttributedMetaModel Build: 3.5.30729.4926
Changing location for Johnsson, John:
Now update the Employee table by running this is SQL Server Management Studio:
update Employee set Location = 'Paris' where Location = 'London';
And hit any key...
UPDATE [dbo].[Employee]
SET [Location] = @p4
WHERE ([Id] = @p0) AND ([FirstName] = @p1) AND ([LastName] = @p2) AND ([Location] = @p3)
-- @p0: Input Int (Size = 0; Prec = 0; Scale = 0) [2]
-- @p1: Input NVarChar (Size = 4; Prec = 0; Scale = 0) [John]
-- @p2: Input NVarChar (Size = 8; Prec = 0; Scale = 0) [Johnsson]
-- @p3: Input NVarChar (Size = 6; Prec = 0; Scale = 0) [London]
-- @p4: Input NVarChar (Size = 5; Prec = 0; Scale = 0) [Paris]
at SubmitChangesError.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\_Blog\Projects\SubmitChangesE
Table name: dbo.Employee
WHERE [t0].[Id] = @p0
Member: System.String Location
Current value: Paris
Original value: London
Database value: Paris
This is a bit more verbose, first we can see how the data is selected from the database (all rows where Location is London).
Then we can see the actual update statement, here you will see that the update is built based on all columns using the values that they got when it was retrieved.
Then we get the exception which we then query.
Here we can see that the data table that we are interacting with is Employee.
Then we query the database to get the current value using the primary key.
Finally we display the current value (what we have changed it to), the original value (what it was when we retrieved it) and the database value (what it is in database).
Following the steps above should help you in figuring out what has changed in your database, causing the ChangeConflict exception.
Maybe this is ok for you and you think that whatever is in the database should stay there. You can then call the SubmitChanges method with the ConflictMode set to ContinueOnConflict.
Or you can, after the exception has been caught, call the ObjectChangeConflict.Resolve method. Links related to this below.

"LINQ to SQL - How to: Retrieve Member Conflict Information (LINQ to SQL)"
"LINQ to SQL - How to: Manage Change Conflicts (LINQ to SQL)"

"DataContext.SubmitChanges Method (ConflictMode)"
Excellent article. I am very impressed. This saved a lot of troubleshooting/debugging time. Great job Michael! I was not aware of the ChangeConflictException in LINQ to SQL.
Amazing Post...thanx a Ton...great work
Great ! You saved my life ! And this is a really complete and detailled explaination/execution.
Thanks a lot:)
