Formal Usage
Primary Usage
We recommend using Arial font in the presentation.
Choose the right font size.
- A one-inch letter is readable from 10 feet.
- A two-inch letter is readable from 20 feet.
- A three-inch letter is readable from 30 feet.
- Put dark text on a light background. Again, this is easiest to read. If you must use a dark background, make sure your text is quite light (white, cream, or light grey) and maybe bump the font size up two or three points.
- Align text left or right. Centered text is harder to read. Line up all your text to a right-hand or left-hand baseline – it will look better and be easier to follow.
- Avoid clutter. A headline, a few bullet points, maybe an image – anything more than that and you risk losing your audience as they sort it all out.
One thing at a time - The audience will almost instantly read every slide as soon as it's displayed. If you have the next four points, consider making one point per slide. Bullet points can be revealed one at a time as you reach them.
No paragraphs - Most presentations fail when there are large amounts of content on each slide. The presentation is not a stand-alone document. Your slides are the illustrations for your presentation, not the presentation itself. They should underline and reinforce what you're saying as you give your presentation. Use bullets or short sentences, and try to keep each point to one line, without text wrapping.
Use images sparingly - There are two schools of thought about images in presentations. Some say they add visual interest and keep audiences engaged; others say images are an unnecessary distraction. Try to avoid using PowerPoint's built-in clipart. If you need branding images, contact the Digital Asset Managment Team at firstname.lastname@example.com
Over design - Avoid the temptation to dress up your pages with effects and focus instead use the template provided by Marketing and Creative Services.
A PowerPoint template helps communicators create professional presentations that consistently represent the UT brand. PowerPoint templates are available for in three sizes. We recommend finding out the projection ratio before downloading the template and building a presentation.
4:3 Ratio: The default projector slide ratio of 4:3. The standard size for a 4:3 template is 10"w x 7.5"h.
16:9 Ratio: When using PowerPoint presentation on HDTV. The size for a 16:10 template is 10"w x 5.63"h.
16:10 Ratio: A new size that is beginning to be used more often is for modern beamers and TV, which is wider. The size for a 16:10 template is 10"w x 6.25"h.

Introduction – Why Should I Produce A Course pack?
Course packs are developed by an instructor to be used by their students to customize course content for the student and/or to supplement book content for their course.
Adopting Your Course Pack:
To have your course pack adopted by the bookstores, complete a Course Pack Adoption form and a Bookstore Waiver form for every course pack per semester. The instructor is responsible for the completion and submission of the adoption form and the bookstore waiver. Both forms are available in the campus bookstore.
Adoption Deadlines for Bookstore Course Packs:
·Fall Semester--April 15
·Spring Semester--October 15
·Summer Semester--March 15
To the Bookstore:
1. Your completed adoption form.
2. A completed bookstore waiver, both forms are obtainable from the bookstore.
To GPC Printing Services by Deadlines:
3. The completed course pack order form.
4. The new course pack contents or changed content.
5. The amount of desk copies needed.
Getting Copyright Clearance:
Perimeter College has changed copyright clearance vendors. We are now using Copyright Clearance Center (CCC). It is vital that the correct form is completely fill out for each copyrighted item and return them to Barbara Gatewood, Associate Printing Services Manager, as soon as possible. If you wish to find out if CCC has permissions for your content or to research other items that are cleared through their site, go to http://www.copyright.com and follow the instructions for starting an individual account.
When researching your content, be sure to only use the "quick price" button not the order button. You can find out what the royalties are instantly. There is no charge if you do not place an order. Printing Services will take care of all ordering and payments. A course pack order form must be submitted with each course pack for every semester.
Course packs need to be submitted for copyright clearance four to six weeks before the start of a new semester. An e-mail is sent to all faculty and staff well in advance of deadlines for each semester. Do not use a copyright form with non-copyright course packs. For copyright items, use this form: copyright; for non-copyright items use this form: non-copyright .
For further information, contact Barbara Gatewood at 678-891-3348 concerning all copyright materials.
Getting It Printed:
Orders will be submitted to Printing Services by each bookstore. It is important for the instructor or department to communicate with the bookstores in regard to the estimated number of course packs needed. Printing Services will need to know the how many desk copies needed by course pack deadlines.
Submit the cleanest copy of your course pack you can compile. Do not date your course pack i.e., Spring Semester 2015 if the content of the course pack does not change from semester to semester. Left-over course packs can continue to be sold eliminating waste.
Make a sample copy of the completed course pack, and make a separate copy of the copyright content pages when submitting them to Printing Services.
As with books and other items your students must spend their money on, keep in mind that if the student does not perceive value in a course pack i.e., they will be tested on it's content, they will not purchase it. Even when students do not purchase a course pack, the cost of copyright and production of excess inventory is ultimately borne by them.
When you submit your course pack have a clear picture of how your students will use it and order packaging accordingly i.e. three hole drill with shrink wrapping, or GBC binding.

Dream Plants for the Natural Garden ($12) by Piet Oudolf and Henk Gerritsen isn't exactly a planting guide for novices. We mean, sure, you're probably smart enough to pick it up, read through it, and come away from it with a better understanding of how to landscape with natural grasses and wildflowers, but if you're not totally into that sort of thing, then you may find yourself doing a bit of skimming during the floral descriptions and long passages. Still, it's a fascinating read and will undoubtedly have you rethinking the way you garden.

Results tagged ' Tigers '
Tiger Cub Prince
After hearing the news yesterday that Prince Fielder signed a monumental deal with the Detroit Tigers, I was conflicted as to my response.
On one hand, I have always been a huge fan of Fielder, who I rank as probably my favorite non-Twins baseball player.
I have always enjoyed his violent and powerful (yet just somehow controlled) swing that produces such massive power…
As well as his youthful exuberance for playing the game…
At the same time, though, I dread the thought of him facing Twins pitching more than six games per year (now MUCH more). He'll have no trouble jacking them out of Target Field on multiple occasions, I'm afraid.
Rolling The Dice
Yesterday, the Twins announced the one-year signing of former Detroit Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya. I've always like this guy, what with his blazing fastball and overall intimidating presence. This guy can be a game-changer out of the pen.
Why is this not bigger news, then? Because the last time Zumaya threw a major league pitch (at Target Field, oddly enough), this was the result…
Yeah, he pretty much completely blew out his arm (fractured elbow) and writhed in agony out on the Target Field mound in 2010.
Supposedly his rehab is going quite well, but it remains to be seen if he can ever regain the health and confidence to be dominant again. Considering the short duration and monetary involvement of the Twins in this deal, though, it sure seems like a risk worth taking (considering how desperate we are for strong bullpen arms).
-The Twins and Glen Perkins reached a one-year deal to avoid arbitration.
Never Quite Fit
After a team-wide collapse during the final months of 2007, the Twins were a ballclub in desperate need of hitters. The thought was, at least at the time, that the Twins had a solid stable of starters and a deep bullpen, so Matt Garza (and Jason Bartlett) were deemed expendable and sent to Tampa Bay for Delmon Young (and Brendan Harris). Unfortunately, Young never quite fit in with the Twins organization and is now a Tiger.
In 2008, with the promise of power based on a solid TB rookie campaign, Delmon hit .290 with little power. In 2009, he hit about .290 with…little power. In 2010, he hit about .300 with 21 homers and 110+ RBI. So far this season, he's missed much time on the DL and never really found his stroke.
Basically, there are two Delmon Young's:
The first Delmon can put a team on his shoulders from the middle of the order. When he's locked in, he's almost Vlad Guerrero-like with his free-swinging ways. He (more than probably any other Twin) took the "sage" advice of Tony Oliva in this now-infamous TV spot…
The other Delmon, however…
…was an out machine when swinging at those early pitches, completely unable to draw walks or move runners along. In the field, he was a complete klutz. Though sometimes he'll dive and catch a ball, it is usually because he misplayed it so thoroughly to begin with. He just doesn't have any natural coordination in the field.
Sadly, that "second" Delmon Young was much more apparent as a Twin than the first. Looking back, I can't blame the Twins for giving Young a try. At the time, we though we were getting two above average hitters for a pitcher (in Garza) that needed a change of scenery and a hitter (in Bartlett) who didn't blossom until his Tampa stay.
However, it just didn't work out.
One Last Stand
After getting roughed up at home by Chicago and Boston, the Twins now hit the road to face Cleveland and Detroit.
I'd like to say the season hangs in the balance, but I think that would be far too optimistic. Instead, the Twins are now playing for pride. Right now, we are the old, once-powerful gunslinger who is now struggling to get the job done. The dusty town may be overrun by the "bad guys" with no hope for the season at hand, but the gunslinger stands in the middle of the street anyway to defend the honor of himself, his people, and his future.
The question then remains: Will the gunslinger get gunned down in cold blood, or will he maintain that honor?
Preview (52-65, 4th, 5.5 GB CWS): Carl Pavano (6-9, 4.71) vs. Justin Masterson (9-7, 2.71)
Last year at the All-Star break, the Twins were in third place in the AL Central, 3.5 games behind the Detroit Tigers. They went on to win 94 games and claim the division crown by mid-September.
This year, after taking 3 of 4 in ChiTown, the Twins enter the break in 4th place, 6.5 games behind Detroit. Are we contenders? Are we pretenders? Well, the first homestand (KC, DET, CLE) after the break will go a long way towards answering that question. If we come out flat, we'll likely never be able to make up the necessary ground. However, a good homestand would beg the question of whether or not the Twins should make a deal at the deadline.
Our biggest need right now is a solid arm out of the pen. The starters are what the are, and the offense can only get better (heck, if we can win with Tosoni, Hughes, Rivera, etc. we can win with anyone!), but the 'pen is where the help is sorely needed. Barring further setbacks, Joe Nathan should quickly supplant Matt Capps as closer, with Capps sharing setup duties with Perkins. Beyond that, however, the pen is barren. Phil Dumatrait has been good for a rookie, but who knows, really. Alex Burnett and Jose Mijares cannot be consistently counted on to get the job done.
Thus, here is how I see the trading deadline scenario playing out in my head: The Twins package Delmon Young (the most expendable outfielder) and perhaps a Kevin Slowey for a decent bullpen arm. Then, as we always seem to do, we either call up another ready rook, or pick a guy (remember how we got Pavano in '09?!) from the scrap heap in September.
If I didn't think the Twins had at least a decent chance of winning the division this year, I would say "trade a few more guys and replenish the minors". However, considering that Detroit ALWAYS chokes in the second half, the Indians are fading, and we OWN the White Sox, a division crown (though not easy by any means) is no doubt within reach.
Preview (41-48, 4th, 1.5 GB CWS): Bruce Chen (5-2, 3.26) vs. Francisco Liriano (5-7, 5.06).
Hail No
Oh…so it's going to be one of those years…
The Obligitory Reference
Any time a major leaguer hurls a no-hitter, like Frankie Liriano did last week, an obligitory reference must be made sometime before his next start to Johnny Vander Meer. Thus, I'm just doing my duty (!)
In 1938, on June 11th and 15th, Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Reds pitched no-hitters in consecutive starts, the only major league pitcher to ever do so. Vander Meer's major league career was suspect (119-121, 3.44 ERA, 1,132 BB, 1,294 K), but he'll always have those two days in June '38.
Can Liriano do it?! Let's just say, it would take a seismic event of the Twins falling to last place in the divis…oh, okay. So maybe anything IS possible at this point.
Preview (12-21, 5th, 0.5 GB CWS): Rick Porcello (2-2, 3.93) vs. Francisco Liriano (2-4, 6.61).
Opening Day Take One: So Complicated (Or Not)
For previous seasons, I have written very detailed summaries about the Twins' chances in the upcoming season. This year, however, I think that all the storylines have been covered ad nauseum. We are all nervous about Nathan, Morneau, everyday Casilla, Mauer's health, and the bullpen.
Thus, instead of an in-depth analysis, here is a quick look at the other teams in the division and how I think we stack up against them:
Cleveland Indians: This team is a mess. From what I see, it will be years before they compete for anything.
Kansas City Royals: Are probably still a year or two away from a serious run at winning baseball, but could seriously begin that process at any time. Still make too many dumb mistakes to consistently win ballgames. Both pitching and hitting is improving, however, to the point where expecting to sweep them (even on their turf, like in previous years!) is unrealistic.
Detroit Tigers: Good luck figuring this team out year-to-year. They have enough general talent to compete, but their streakiness is incredible. Remember who was leading the division at the AS break last year? I believe it was the Tigers (I know it wasn't us). Then…complete collapse. I don't see them putting up enough of a fight to win the division unless they put on a huge streak in the waning months.
Chicago White Sox: The team that can challenge us because of their pitching (especially bullpen) and power hitting. That being said, they better have a pretty big lead heading into that final month, because we OWN them (especially on our turf) come September.
I won't say that the Twins will waltz away with the division in 2011, but I think it is clear that another division title is easily within our grasp. If key guys stay healthy and get their innings/at-bats, I think we're still the favorites to repeat.
A Different Feeling
Last year ended (at least the regular season) about as exciting as a Twins season has ever come to a close (see above).
This year obviously felt a little different. For most of today's regular season finale against the Toronto Blue Jays, the 3-4-5 batters were: Drew Butera, Ben Revere, and Trevor Plouffe.
This occured due to the Twins trying to rest guys for the playoffs, but it was still a bit disconcerting to see the team lose so many games after clinching. I'm not too worried, though, for this reason:
Last year in the ALDS against the Yankees, the Twins Brendan Harris, Nick Punto, and Matt Tolbert in the starting lineup. No such thing will happen this year, as those guys are replaced (respectively) by Jim Thome, Orlando Hudson, and Danny Valencia.
We know that our first-round opponent this year will again be the Yankees, but I'll have more on that matchup in a later post.
Final AL Central Standings:
|Chi White Sox
|Kansas City
Thanks Again, 'Lexi!
If the Twins were to start Alexi Casilla at second base (or SS for that matter) on a regular basis, he would hit .250 with no power, strike out often, and make enough bonehead plays (both in the field and on the basepaths) to send Gardy to an early grave.
However, put him in a late-season pressure-cooker situation, and the results speak for themselves:
For a team looking for a spark going forward into the playoffs, this could be it!
-Still don't know our first-round opponent. Tampa Bay holds the tiebreaker over New York, so (with both teams tied heading into the regular season's final day) a TB win would automatically give us the Yanks.
Preview (94-67, 1st, 7 GA CWS): Marc Rzepczynski (3-4, 5.56) vs. Nick Blackburn (10-11, 5.55)

CHICAGO, IL - Karch Kiraly, the only volleyball player to win three Olympic gold medals, is one of nine Olympians who will be inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame Presented by Allstate, the USOC announced this week.
Kiraly (UCLA `83), who retired from beach volleyball in 2007, won gold medals with the U.S. Men's indoor team in 1984 and '88, then returned and won a gold medal on the beach with partner Kent Steffes in 1996.
"It's a great honor and privilege to be inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame as a member of the 2008 Class," Kiraly said. "The Hall already contains so many legends and this year's class features many of my peers whom I have admired and respected tremendously throughout the years.
Last season, Kiraly left the beach circuit as the Tour's all-time leader in Open victories with 148. He is a four-time King of the Beach winner and a seven-time recipient of the Tour's MVP award.
At UCLA, Kiraly played on three NCAA championship teams, twice earning Most Outstanding Player honors (1981 and '82). In 1979 and '82, the Bruins were undefeated with him in the starting lineup. In 1993, he was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame.
Kiraly joins wrestler Bruce Baumgartner, distance runner Joan Benoit, figure skater Brian Boitano, boxer Oscar de La Hoya, equestrian J. Michael Plumb, basketball player David Robinson, swimmer Amy Van Dyken, shooter Lones W. Wigger, Jr. and Paralympic swimmer John Morgan in the class of 2008. Figure skating coach Carlo Fassi will be inducted in the Coach category along with Olympic figure skating gold medalist Carol Heiss Jenkins in the Veteran category. The members of the 1996 Women's Gymnastics Team - Amanda Borden, Amy Chow, Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Jaycie Phelps and Kerri Strug - will also be honored in the Team category, as will legendary Hollywood producer Frank Marshall (UCLA '68) as the Special Contributor. Marshall is a former UCLA soccer player.
The induction ceremony will take place June 19 in Chicago.

Sharif, the petite TV actress who became popular as 'Kashish' in Ekta
Kapoor's 'Kahi To Hoga' said films were always the ultimate destination
for her.
"I always wanted to be in movies and did 'Kahi to Hoga' as the character of Kashish was too tempting. But, I did not want to be associated with the small screen after the show," Aamna, who is debuting in Bollywood with 'Aloo Chaat' opposite Aftab Shivdasani told the media.
Aamna said she took a break for a year after the television show ended.
"I played Kashish for three years and my character was very popular. During the break, I was listening to scripts and then took up 'Aloo Chaat' because it was script-oriented," she added.
Aamna said her fans would relate to her character on big screen.
Regarding 'Aloo Chaat', the actress said the film directed by Robby Grewal who had directed 'Samay', was a situational romantic comedy. The characters don't go over the top. "It is the situation, punch lines that provide comedy in the film."
"I play a girl from the US coming to Delhi for the first time and falls in love with Nikhil (Aftab) who hails from a typical Punjabi Delhi-based family. The film is about her experiences and cultural differences and how there is a confluence between the two," she added.
The actress said it was comfortable working Aftab, who has a great sense of comic timing.
Aamna was of the view that Bollywood was changing for good. "The industry is accepting newcomers, fresh ideas and the films are content driven," she said.
When asked if it was difficult finding a foothold in the industry without a backing, Aamna said she did not any backing when she did television. "I proved myself on small screen. It is the talent that counts," she added.
To a question, she said newcomers from film-families come with the baggage of huge expectations and more responsibility. "So the struggle for them is equally more," she added.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon finally satiated the world's need to see photos of their twins—or at least what the duo perceived as a need—during a special 20/20 interview with Barbara Walters on Friday night. During the segment, Walters took us through a refresher course on the life of the "megawatt diva," save for any mentions of her TRL ice cream delivery. She visited Carey and Cannon in their New York City penthouse—the same one we saw in the 2006 episode of MTV's Cribs—pointing out that "not a single picture from her first marriage" exists in the 12,000-square foot space, and turning the conversation over to Carey's publicized divorce from Tommy Mottola. While Cannon looked on uncomfortably, likely having had to sit through similar questioning throughout their three-year relationship, Walters managed to squeeze in questions for Carey about how marriage is different the second time around. "Nobody will ever be able to steal my spirit again, so I'm just happy to be in love and to be here," she explained. It helps that Cannon seems utterly infatuated with his wife, still, as he revealed the giant "Mariah" tattoo across his back, so big that grandmothers everywhere are still wiping away their tears. Recall that the actor, host and sometimes-musician "spoke their relationship into existence," telling numerous media outlets that Carey was his celebrity crush (not unlike Josh Duhamel and Fergie) back in the day. "I never believe that anyone actually likes me, I always think it's like a practical joke," Carey replied, providing a nice segue to two little ones who will grant her unconditional love—for now.
The big reveal of twins Monroe and Moroccan, named after late actress Marilyn Monroe and the room where Cannon proposed—what, you don't have a Moroccan room in your apartment?—showed two little six-month-old balls decked to the nines in a full suit and dress. As Walters oohed and aahed over "dem babies"—failing to get Babs to say that on camera feels like a real missed opportunity—Cannon spoke about his high hopes for their future, outside the entertainment world. "I think society puts too much on entertainment and entertainers, they praise them like they're royalty. I want [my children] to, like, go get a PhD., go get a Masters," he explained before Carey could interject, assuring us all that they "really respond to music." And no music is better than that of their creators, right? Carey used a live version of "Fantasy" in the delivery room "because [she] wanted them to hear the applause upon entering the WORLD," and serenaded "Roc" with an altered version of "We Belong Together." But when will they get to hear Dad's under-appreciated hit "Gigolo"?

In his celebrated masterpiece, Symposium, Plato imagines a high-society dinner-party in Athens in 416 BC. The guests--including the comic poet Aristophanes and Plato's mentor Socrates--each deliver a short speech in praise of love. The sequence of dazzling speeches culminates in Socrates'famous account of the views of Diotima, a prophetess who taught him that love is our means of trying to attain goodness, and a brilliant sketch of Socrates himself by a drunken Alcibiades, the most popular and notorious Athenian of the time. Engaging the reader on every page, this new translationconveys the power, humor, and pathos of Plato's creation and is complemented by full explanatory notes and an illuminating introduction.

How to disable mysite for a particular site collection (SP 2007)? (disabling personal site through ssp affects all the site collections within that web application)
You'll need to use a custom master page for that site collection and remove the link to MySites. To do this, you'll need to turn on the publishing infrastructure feature in the Site Collection features. This will open up the master page gallery. Then using Sharepoint designer, you can create a new master page that hides this control, save it, check it in, approve it, then apply it to the site and the subsites and the link won't be there.
My Site isn't attached to any site collection, it's a site collection of it's own and surfaced through the My Site links on a master page. So technically you can't disable it for any particular site collection.
You have two options:
Not sure I understand what you are asking... you want to stop users from being able to make sites using the personal site template as subsites to a specific site collection? Other wise mysites are there own beast, they are their own site collections in the MySite Web app...

Perry's Finding Slippery Support In Some GOP Texas Circles
Does Gov. Rick Perry have much support for his presidential bid deep in the heart of Texas?
So far it's looking a tad iffy. The state's two prominent GOP senators, Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn, aren't exactly jumping on his bandwagon. Nor are many other prominent elected Republicans in the state, like Texas House Majority Leader Joe Straus, who has been mum so far over Mr. Perry's presidential bid.
Other well-known Texas GOP figures, meanwhile, are being openly rough. Former Bush adviser Karl Rove, who has crossed swords in the past with the Texas governor, blasted Mr. Perry as unpresidential for remarks he made Monday about Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Ms. Hutchison, who lost a bruising primary to Mr. Perry last year, has so far made no comment on the governor since he jumped into the race Saturday. But earlier this month, speaking on MSNBC, she damned him with the faintest of praise.
"He certainly has government experience," she said, when asked whether he had the experience to be president. Then she added, 'I have always felt like we need people who really have been in the private sector as well and who have actually created jobs."
Asked about Mr. Perry Thursday on Laura Ingraham's radio show, Sen. Cornyn said he liked the governor, but then detracted from the main pitch of Mr. Perry's campaign: his jobs record in Texas. "He is entitled to some credit, but he is not alone," Mr. Cornyn said of the Texas jobs record.
The senator was a lot more fulsome in his praise Friday morning, speaking to KTRH radio in Houston. "He has been the leader of the Texas model and he is now taking it to Washington," he said. "We need to make Washington more like Texas. I can't think of a better person to do that than Gov. Perry.
Mr. Perry did get a quasi endorsement from the state's prominent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who praised the governor last week as a someone called "to lead in dark hours."

Ceremonial Deism and the Reasonable Religious Outsider
Caroline Mala Corbin
University of Miami School of Law
January 4, 2010
UCLA Law Review, Vol. 57, p.1545, 2010
State invocations of God are common in the United States; indeed, the national motto is "In God We Trust." Yet the Establishment Clause forbids the state from favoring some religions over others. Nonetheless, courts have found the national motto and other examples of what is termed ceremonial deism constitutional on the ground that the practices are longstanding, have de minimis and nonsectarian religious content, and achieve a secular goal. Therefore, they conclude, a reasonable person would not think that the state was endorsing religion.
But would all reasonable people reach this conclusion? This Article examines the "reasonable person" at the heart of the Establishment Clause's endorsement analysis. The starting point is the feminist critique of early sexual harassment decisions, which often held that a reasonable person would not find that the alleged harassment created a hostile work environment. Feminists argued that the supposedly objective reasonable person was actually a reasonable man, that men and women often have different perspectives on what amounts to sexual harassment due to structural inequalities, and that reliance on this unstated norm perpetuates male privilege rather than remedies it. This Article argues that the same insights apply to the reasonable person used to evaluate ceremonial deism. The supposedly objective reasonable person too often equates to a reasonable Christian. Furthermore, just as men might find harmless comments that women would find offensive, certain invocations of God may seem acceptable to Christians that non-Christians would find alienating because of their status as religious outsiders. Finally, reliance on this norm perpetuates Christian privilege rather than ensures religious liberty and equality for all. Consequently, the constitutionally of ceremonial deism should be evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable religious outsider.

If you are looking to build explosive power, or get into great shape, look no further than bodyweight training. Bodyweight training is inexpensive, easy to learn, and a great alternative if you can't make it to the gym. Bodyweight exercises develop the whole body and are reccomended for all ages. Listed below are a few examples of bodyweight workouts.
There are a number of Crossfit workouts that use bodyweight only. Including:
100 pullups
100 push-ups
100 sit-ups
100 squats
As many rounds as possible in 20 min. of:
5 pullups
10 push-ups
15 squats
3) 50-40-30-20-10 reps of pullup & ring dips
The military is also a great source of bodyweight workouts including:
Military stations
In military stations, create a rectangle the size of a basketball court. Six body weight exercises are spaced along the perimeter. Participants stay at each station for a set amount of time. Immediately following each station, participants perform a movement to get to the next station. After one circuit, rest 1-2 minutes and repeat. A sample workout looks like:
1) Exercise - pushups/ Movement - bear crawl
2) Exercise - crunches/ Movement- karaoke
3) Exercise - squats/ Movement - backwards run
4) Exercise - v-ups/ Movement - power skips
5) Exercise - jumping jacks/ Movement - walking lunges
6) Exercise - arm circles/ Movement - star jumps
When all aspects of our lives have been enriched with technology, it is nice to know that you can still get tremendous workouts with just your bodyweight and a little imagination.

As Israelis and Turks escalate their war of words, the government in Istanbul is reportedly considering reducing its relations with Jerusalem to a minimum.
"We may plan to reduce our relations with Israel to a minimum, but to assume everything involving another country is stopped in an instant, to say we have crossed you out of our address book, is not the custom of our state," said Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc in an interview Friday with NTV, according to a report in Ha'aretz. Turkey, he said, is "assessing deals with Israel."
Nine Turkish nationals were killed in clashes with Israeli commandos who boarded their ship.
Already, Turkey has recalled its ambassador to Israel. And its president, Abdullah Gul, said Wednesday that Israeli-Turkish ties "will never be as they were before."
"Israel has made one of the biggest mistakes in its history," he said, according to Ha'aretz.
A prosecutor in Istanbul is reportedly gathering evidence for a potental case against Israeli officials.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Israelis demonstrated Thursday outside the Turkish Embassy in Tel Aviv.
The demonstrators held signs criticizing Turkey for not stopping the Gaza-bound flotilla of ships. Some demonstrators threw rocks at the building and attempted to hang an Israeli flag on the fence.

Check out South Beach Wine and Food Fest part 2
Schrager said his ideas come from his own food cravings. He loves BBQ food, and that's how he got the idea to create the Perrier-Jouet BubbleQ event, an evening that pairs BBQ food with champagne. He said the idea for the Amstel Light Burger Bash came from sitting around with Food Network personality Rachel
Ray and discussing their favorite burgers from all around the country.
"I get to do everything that I would want to go to,"" Schrager said. "I think of things I love and ask my staff to make it happen."
The SBWWF staff can attain to Schrager's desire to never be satisfied.
"Lee is a visionary and a leader and has huge ideas and is always trying to outdo himself so it can be challenging to keep up with him," said Jong, who is working on his eighth festival. "He's the brain behind the festival and he surrounds himself by people who can fulfill his ideas. Working for Lee is a 24/7 job as he is always emailing from his blackberry. It's not strange at all to wake up in the morning and find 10 emails from Lee sent at 3am. Sometimes I wonder if he ever sleeps."
Schrager's right hand man, Laplante said there is a feeling in the air when the boss is around.
"It's exciting, there are always things to learn from Lee," Laplante said. "He's got an amazing ability to keep a plethora of considerations in his mind's eye at any given moment."
Schrager said he has seen other festivals incorporate many of the ideas he started.
"I'm not offended when people copy me," Schrager said. "I didn't create the festival idea but I really made it fun and brought it to the masses."

Adding Domains & Subdomains
- 1 Overview
- 2 FAQs for adding domains and subdomains
- 2.1 How do I add a new domain or subdomain to my account?
- 2.2 Do I have to create a new directory if I add a domain?
- 2.3 How much is it for an extra domain?
- 2.4 Does an extra domain have to point to the same place as the original domain?
- 2.5 Does an extra domain get its own storage space, login, email aliases, and so on?
There is no limit to how many domains/subdomains you are able to add to your DreamHost account with shared, VPS, or Dedicated hosting. This article explains how to add the domains to your panel.
|This article does not apply to DreamPress as you are only able to add one domain per service with that plan. You can read more about it here:
FAQs for adding domains and subdomains
How do I add a new domain or subdomain to my account?
To add a new domain or subdomain, log into the panel and follow these instructions:
- Go to the (Panel > 'Domains' > 'Manage Domains') page.
- Click the Add Hosting to a Domain / Sub-Domain button.
- Domain name
- The first section is where you enter your domain and how it appears:
- Domain to host: enter the name of the domain or subdomain you wish to add.
- Do you want the www in your URL?: You have three options.
- Leave it alone: The www and non-www version of your site both function.
- Add WWW: This forces www to be added to your domain so when it's visited, it always appears as www.example.com
- Remove WWW: This forces www to be removed so your domain always appears as example.com
- Users, Files, and Paths
- This section allows you to choose your username and the directory where the site is installed.
- Run this domain under the user: Select a user who owns the files for this domain (you can also create a new user here. If you create a new use you can also assign it to a specific server).
- Web directory: This is the directory on the server where your site files are located. Most often there is no need to adjust this.
- Logs directory: This is just to let you know where you can find your site's logs on the server.
- Web Options
- This section allows you to choose a PHP version to run your site as well as security and optimization options.
- PHP mode: Click the dropdown menu to choose which version of PHP you wish the site to run under.
- Automatically upgrade PHP: Check this box to have DreamHost automatically upgrade the version of PHP when available.
- Extra Web Security?: It's recommended to keep this enabled as it provides further security to your site.
- PHP XCache Support: This is only available on a VPS and helps to optimize PHP.
- Passenger (Ruby/Python apps only): Enable if you are running a Python or Ruby on Rails website.
- CloudFlare Services and Google Services
- This section allows you to enable different CloudFlare and Google services to your domain.
- Click the blue Fully host this domain button to save your changes.
For information on how to allow somebody else to manage this new domain or subdomain, visit the following article:
Do I have to create a new directory if I add a domain?
No, you do not.
A new directory automatically appears (in the name of your domain) in your users directory within fifteen minutes of adding the domain. You don't need to create a new directory yourself.
When somebody visits your website, the configuration files for the DreamHost web server tell the visitor to go to the new directory. When you add a new domain and specify its directory, the panel adds the necessary lines to the necessary config files on the web server. There is no need to for any other configuration other than adding the domain in your panel.
How much is it for an extra domain?
All hosting plans at DreamHost (excluding DreamPress) allow an unlimited number of domains and subdomains.
If you want to host an entirely new domain, you can register it on the (Panel > 'Domains' > 'Registrations') page or through any other domain registrar (although, remember that registration costs may vary).
Does an extra domain have to point to the same place as the original domain?
No, but it can if you'd like it to.
It can point to your existing site, or it can point to an entirely different directory. When adding the domain in your panel, you get to decide where it points.
Does an extra domain get its own storage space, login, email aliases, and so on?
Your extra domain gets its own email addresses.
You can also use the same username as your main domain, or you can create a new username. All web files for the domain are stored under the user you assign to it. But, please note that the amount of space allotted depends on your hosting plan. For example, when you purchase a VPS plan you must choose how much disk space you'd like the user to have.
You can view more information about VPS plans here:

I'm 5'1'' and I'm looking for a cute and petite romper for $50 or less. I love the vintage, lace, chic look and I like the sweetheart neckline. I don't like my rompers to have straps, i prefer strapless. I found one on Forever21 that is black with a print short bottom, but I didn't like how long the "bottom" part of the romper was -- I wasn't sure if that would really look good on a short person haha. Can you help me out?! :) Thanks for helping us short girls find the right clothes that we see on all the tall models, haha!"
Hey Chelsea! When searching rompers for you, I concentrated on finding your strapless, sweetheart neckline and a "short shorts" hem. Combined, they should help your romper of choice elongate you. Well, at least they'll get you as elongated as 5'1" will allow! Pair your romper with strappy wedge sandals and you'll look as svelte and willowy as a model in no time! -Layla

SMYRNA — Coach Rachel Woodall will never say the Smyrna High girls' basketball team needed to lose a game.
But there is such a thing as a good loss, she hopes her Eagles experienced one of those Tuesday night.
Smyrna suffered its first defeat of the season as visiting Sanford led wire to wire and earned a 48-39 win in a nonconference matchup between two teams expected to compete for the state title.
"It was a good loss for us and of course nobody wants to lose," coach Woodall said. "But we'll pick it back up. When? I'm not sure, but it starts tomorrow in practice. We've still got other games ahead of us. I didn't think we were going to lose today, but they came out to play today and we weren't ready."
It marked Sanford's fifth straight win over the Eagles (8-1) in the last three years. The Warriors (4-4) beat Smyrna in the 2010 state championship and in the 2011 semifinals.
The Warriors mounted a double-digit lead in the third quarter Tuesday night before Smyrna began to work its way back into the game. Senior Brionna Johnson sank two free throws at the end of the third quarter to cut Sanford's advantage to 39-29.
Both teams exchanged baskets to begin the fourth, then Johnson hit a layup to make it an eight-point game. Smyrna forced a Sanford miss at the other end and Taylor Price hit a runner in the lane to have the Eagles trailing 41-35 with 6:25 remaining.
Smyrna had chances to get a stop, but couldn't grab a defensive rebound on the Warriors' next possession. Sanford finally converted after three different second-chance opportunities when Johanna McMillan buried an open three in the corner after an inbound play.
The Eagles went on to miss four straight shots until Alyson Davis nailed a long jumper. They forced a steal on the ensuing Sanford possession and Davis hit a layup off the resulting fastbreak. Her bucket made a 44-39 game and Smyrna forced another turnover which sent Shi'Erra Hilliard to the line for two shots with 47 seconds left.
Hilliard missed both and Davis was off the mark on a three-point attempt which would have made it a one-possession game. The Eagles only hit nine of their 17 attempts from the free throw line.
"That was the biggest thing, we missed free throws," Woodall said.
Sanford's sophomore guard Ayanna Thompson hit four free throws in the final 29 seconds to seal the win. The Warriors were paced by McMillan and Alison Lewis who each had 14. Chrishyanah Alston was also in double figures for Sanford with 13.
Sanford coach Marcus Thompson said it was the Warriors' defense that won them the game.
"We talked about not coming in with any tricks, just good solid man-to-man defense," Thompson said. "Contesting, and then box out and rebound."
They built their big lead thanks to a 12-0 run at the start of the second quarter.
Johnson was Smyrna's leading scorer with 12 points. Kamerra Matthews contributed 10.
"I think it's a real good team," Thompson said of the Eagles. "I think coach is doing a real nice job. She's putting her mark on the team and there's a lot of cohesiveness there. I expect them to have a real good year."
It's the first time Woodall has lost in her short career as Smyrna's coach. She and the Eagles get their first chance to rebound from the defeat at 7:15 p.m. Friday at home against Dover.
"When we're down, we've got to come up together," Woodall said. "I think that we still didn't get that camaraderie on the floor. The defense wasn't there for us. We were a step too slow and it showed."

Launching iPhone Apps With Custom URL Scheme – Part 1
In an earlier post I talked about how to launch the browser from within an iPhone application using the
UIApplication:openURL: method.
It is also possible to use this same technique to launch other applications on the iPhone that are very useful.
Examples of some of the key applications that you can launch via URL are:
- Launch the Browser (see earlier post )
- Launch Google Maps
- Launch Apple Mail
- Dial a Phone Number
- Launch the SMS Application
- Launch the Browser
- Launch the AppStore
Launch Google Maps
The URL string for launching Google Maps with a particular keyword follows this structure:
The only trick to this is to ensure that the value for the ${QUERY_STRING} is properly URL encoded. Here is a quick example of how you would launch Google Maps for a specific address:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
// Create your query ... NSString* searchQuery = @"1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014"; // Be careful to always URL encode things like spaces and other symbols that aren't URL friendly searchQuery = [addressText stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding]; // Now create the URL string ... NSString* urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%@", searchQuery]; // An the final magic ... openURL! [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlText]];
Launch Apple Mail
Also very useful, is the ability to enable a user to quickly send an email by launching the email client in compose mode and the address already filled out. The format of this URI should be familiar to anyone that has done any work with HTML and looks like this:
For example, here we are opening the email application and filling the "to:" address with email@example.com :
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"mailto://email@example.com"]];
Dial a Phone Number (iPhone Only)
You can use
openURL: to dial a phone number. One advantage this has over other URLs that launch applications, is that the dialer will return control back to the application when the user hits the "End Call" button.
Anyone familiar with J2ME or WML will find this URL scheme familiar:
Here is an example of how we would dial the number (800) 867-5309:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://8004664411"]];
NOTE When providing an international number you will need to include the country code.
Launch the SMS Application
Also not supported by the iPod Touch, is the ability to quickly setup the SMS client so that your users can quickly send a text message. It is also possible to provide the body of the text message.
The format looks like this:
NOTE: Unlike other URLs, an SMS url doesn't use the "//" syntax. If you add these it will assume it is part of the phone number which is not.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"sms:55555"]];
NOTE: According to the official SMS specification, you should be able to send a body as well as the phone number by including "?body=" parameter on the end of the URL … unfortunately Apple doesn't seem to support this standard.
Launching the AppStore
Finally, it is worth noting that you can launch the AppStore and have the "buy" page of a specific application appear. To do this, there is no special URL scheme. All you need to do is open up iTunes to the application you want to launch; right-click on the application icon at the top left of the page; and select Copy iTunes Store URL .
The URL will look something like this:
Launching the AppStore URL is exactly the same as you would launch the browser. Using the link above, here is an example of how we would launch the AppStore:
1 2
NSURL *appStoreUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=291586600&mt=8"]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:appStoreUrl];
74 comments
URL schemes are great, but one important piece of information that you didn't mention is that openURL: returns a boolean that can be used to determine whether the device is able to handle the URL.
For example if you do tel: or sms: on an iPod touch it will return NO and you can display an error message.
This becomes critical when you use URL schemes for applications you can download from the AppStore. My app, for example, allows you to add bookmarks to Delicious, but obviously the 'yummy:' URL scheme won't work if it's not installed!
What about launching some other 3rd party application. Or starting some other process from one process?
@Stephen that is a great point. Thanks for the comment.
@Raj it is possible to invoke a 3rd party application ONLY if said application has taken the necessary steps to register the URL scheme with the phone. I'll try to dig up an example to illustrate how this is done.
The URL scheme is the text before the "://" in the URL so if you wanted to create a scheme "foo" a URL would look like "foo://….". You should even be able to pass parameters in the URL. I've not tried to do this yet, but as soon as I find out how I'll post back here.
– Rodney
Is that correct? It may be true for tel: and sms: URL schemes, but I don't think it applies to custom URL schemes.
In my testing openUrl: always returns YES, even when called with an unsupported URL scheme. I can't find a way to prevent the OS from displaying its own "Unsupported URL" alert message, nor a way to query for supported URL schemes.
Darren, yes it does work even for custom URL schemes. The iPhone sometimes gets confused if you install and remove applications with URL schemes:
Maybe that's what you're seeing?
And no, there's no (documented) way of discovering whether a URL scheme is supported. The way I do it try it and if it fails then disable the option next time. It's imperfect but as far as I know the best you can do at the moment.
Does anyone know how to launch a custom application from an email or sms?
@David Heacock
The process of launching an application is as simple as including a URL in the email or sms message. Follow the steps in this article to register your application to respond to a particular URL and then just put that URL in your message.
NOTE: There is currently no push support so the user will still need to click the URL for it to actually open the application.
@David Heacock
I forgot which article this was … the article you need that explains how to register your own application URL is located here:
Anyway to launch the iPod app to start playing a certain song?
To my knowledge this is not possible today.
I've seen that Apple's own iPhone apps can send an email from a special mailer view that comes and goes, within the app– similar to how we are allowed to pick and even add/edit Contacts from within our apps.
Does anyone know if this "SendMail" API has been made available to us in the SDK?
@Scenario: nope, the "SendMail" API is not available unless you're Apple. The only option is to use the mailto: URL scheme. Or include your own SMTP client.
Also, I found that I now see what @Darren is getting. This certainly worked in iPhone OS 2.0. Looks like something broke.
Thanks guys, now how do you launch iphone's built-in address book?
Generally code samples talk about creating own interface into the address database (e.g. using AddressBookUI), but say you want your app to just launch iphone's "Contacts" app? Thx. Gabe.
@Gabe … I am not aware of a way to launch the Address book external to an App. Let us know if you find anything.
I have an app in which I need to play a video. Can you tell me if there is a way I can do it without using YouTube? Does QT player support being invoked using URL? Also, once the video is completed, I would like my application to be restored? Is it possible?
Appreciate any pointers on this.
I want to open the calendar application from my custom application. What URL i can use for that.?
i am trying openURL for mailto functionality but no success (in simulator) using 2.2.1. can any body tell where is problem
Also i want to enter date from my app into iphone calender, any body have any idea?
The simulator does not come loaded with the email application that is why you can't use the mailto functionality in the simulator.
As for the calendar, there is not currently a way to do this.
I am trying openurl for call option, Once the call ended it returns back to my application (restarting the application). Can anyone help me , i want to return back to the same place where i clicked to call.
Hi Raji, I'm afraid that it can't be done with the publicly available APIs.
Thanks Stephen.
I'm want to open an app if it's also installed on the device, and notify the user otherwise, but the app hangs on the openurl line of code, so never beeps? Any ideas how I can work around this anyone?
BOOL win = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
if( win == 0 ) { void NSBeep(); };
NSBeep isn't available as part of the iPhone's API.
–> Stephen
Thats great info thanks.
Just one beginners question. How do you go back to your app once you open the google maps.
@Bruce: Raji asked the same question. The answer has not changed since then (i.e., you can't).
Some other information has changed. In 3.0 it is now possible to detect which URL schemes are available and there is also the mail sheet API that Scenario was looking for.
i am trying to dial phone no from app but there is no effect against phone no. i am using
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://8004664411″]];
where is the problem? thanks in advance.
Is there any way (documented or not…) to open Mail.app *not* with the default Inbox view loaded rather than the compose view?
What if I just want to query which other apps are installed on the iPhone? I know when the newest update Apple can recommend apps based on current installations. Is there any way to do this with public API? Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to launch the Camera application like this?
Hi, John,
Thanks for responding. Actually, I have already programmed the camera in to the app, but I'm thinking of taking it out, because when the camera launches and a photo is taken, it adds 16.5 Meg to the "Real Memory" used by the app (according to Instruments) and I occasionally get a memory warning. I don't want the app to crash when Apple reviews it! Instead, I might have the user launch his Camera app, take the pictures, then return to my app to select them from his camera roll and attach them to an email within my app. That takes much less memory.
There was a posting on Apple's developer forum about using malloc to grab the memory you need for the camera, and not launch Camera if the memory is unavailable. Sounds intruiging, but it also sounds like adding too many complications. Do you have trouble with using Camera in apps because of memory considerations?
Can I also open the SMS Application without specifing a number or anything? Just simply quit my app and start the SMS-App.
I want the user to stay in a conversation, if it is the case, select the contact(s) to send the text to within the SMS-Application itself. So could I do it like this:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"sms:"]];
I read somewhere that you may be banned from the AppStore, if you use "sms:" in your application. Is this true?
Hi Guys,
Can you us this process to open the "Calendar" app, the "iPhones Voicemail" page & the "mail accounts" screen?
Thank you very much.
Dialing a number in os 3.1 form our app has one issue .
Dialer doesn't return control back to the application when the user hits the "End Call" button. Any one who can fixed this issue.
Hi guys,
I want to know whether it is possible to launch the SMS application via OpenUrl Scheme with the preloaded message in 3.1.
Hi Gurus
i am working on iphone live tv app. i have a streaming link that will stream video and audio. but i don't know how to launch video player in iPhone native app. any body have some idea or any help, how i can that. thanks in advance
I tried to open the app store like you suggested:
NSURL *appStoreUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=291586600&mt=8″];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:appStoreUrl];
But I get an error from Safari saying "Safari can't open page because too many redirects occurred".
Any idea why?
Seen a few related / unanswered queries above… Does anyone know if there is a URL Scheme Reference for the iPhone iPod app? We'd like our site to redirect content to a (pref Apple) media app that handles M3U and PLS files from HTML anchor tag. Several blogs say M3U is supported on iPhone v3.x but I'm not seeing how that happens.
Will this approach work with ADHOC distributions or only distributions through the app store?
I am trying to open another application present on appstore from my iphone application,by using ur above given code but safari showing an alert "LOTS OF REDIRECTION,NOT ABLE TO OPEN"
Tell me onething is it possible that from our application we are able to delete or uninstall other application present in our iphone.
I have the two applications (MyApp1 that will launch MyApp2), and MyApp2, both installed and running on the device using ADHOC profiles. The code event cycle is working, because if I change from @"myapp2://" to @"http://foo" (in MyApp1) and select the item while running a Safari web page to foo is launched. But returning to @"myapp2://" does nothing. I wish that I could trace the behavior and find out what is going on. It seems clear that there is no knowledge of the url scheme for myapp2 available to MyApp1. In fact, I am not sure how MyApp1 would know about any url schemes. It seems like they have to be registered outside of the device to work and that is why I asked about the ADDHOC vs. APP STORE installation.
I am having the same issue ( defining a URL scheme with ADHOC distribution does not work ). Did you find a solution for this problem? Thanks.
Is there a way to send a predefined message instantly to another phone?
Maybe send a predifined sms or something simular?
How can I launch an iPhone application from another iPhone application.
Thank you very much. I used your code for sending my application. But I got troubled. When I am sending sms, I am not redirecting to my application, in stead of that I was put in sms application of iphone. So please help me redirecting to my application after sending sms.
When an app places a call using the iPhone4 dialler, can anyone suggest a way to return to the app AS SOON as the call has connected (not ended)?
Thanks, Peter
Can any one tell me how to open "Apple Store" app from iPhone app!!
Thanks, GRD.
Were you able to open the "Apple Store" app? Also, do you know how to go to a particular product?
Hi Rodney,
i'm from Brazil, and don't speak English, but I read this article and like to ask you if it's possible open the phone app and play some keyboard tones, like those who need to be tapped to acces voice mail.
Great article and comments! Is there any way to launch the mail.app that first opens the inbox (not the email composer)?
This is a great article. I have one question, is it possible to launch the other app in background?
In other words, from my app, I click a button and it launches an other app but is running in the background so my application remains on top.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://*100#"]];
doesn't work
that it is possible to make
Is it possible to launch an app that you have (not in App Store)?
Hi there, will this work to launch an app using a "Web Clip" on the Home Page of an iPad?
What I want to do is put an app icon on my users' iPad that launches a PDF file that is located at a certain spot in a WebDAV folder (no authentication required) on the internet directly in an App that has a custom URL scheme defined…
In Safari you can "Add To Home Page" and add a link onto the Home Page, so the idea would be to have an ibooks:// link rather than an http:// and it would open the pdf being linked to there within iBooks
Read that "One advantage this has over other URLs that launch applications, is that the dialer will return control back to the application when the user hits the "End Call" button."
IS this true ? I am not able to achieve this :(
Thanks for the great code and discussion
I actually hvae the opposite question for google maps. Is there anyway to force google maps to stay in a browser on an ipad. I have ios5 and want links in my website to stay in the safari browser and not open the ipad app. This worked fine on ios4 but on ios5 everything goes to the app. Any thoughts?
How can i return to my original app? I don't know. help me.
URL Scheme works fine but how can i return to my main app?
help me
Can I use my code to ask the system to open a file, thus launching another app to handle the file open?
So I could open a PDF from my App and what ever PDF viewer is installed on the iphone/IPAD would load opening it.
If I open Email app using URL scheme, how can I return to my app after sending an email through Email app?
FYI, here's Apple's documentation for these built-in URL schemes:
And here is Apple documentation on implementing your own custom URL scheme:
Can you launch an application from an application that is running in the background?
For example you can a background app collecting gps data, when it reaches a certain location you either send the app to the foreground or open another application automatically, is this possible?
how to Launch Clock App.??
The better way maybe is use bellow code:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"itms-apps://itunes.com/apps/appname"]];
and directly appstore app will open on your idevice.

STANFORD, Calif.-- Stanford's two-way standout Owen Marecic was named one of the Hornung Award's national "top performers of the week" following his two touchdown, and key pass breakup performance at Arizona State on Saturday.
Marecic, whose two-way heroics have already led him to four Hornung Award honors, picked up his third and fourth rushing touchdowns of the season in Tempe, the ladder, with 5:14 left in the game to give the Cardinal a 17-13 lead.
Marecic, who started both ways for the seventh time this season, made three tackles on Saturday and also broke up a Steven Threet pass during ASU's last drive of the game, leading to Stanford's ninth win of the season. Two of Marecic's tackles came in the fourth quarter.
Marecic has rushed for four touchdowns on 18 carries with 37 yards this season on the ground; caught nine passes for 75 yards—including one catch for 10 yards at ASU; and made 35 tackles, one sack and two interceptions in his first year as a starter. As the team's starting fullback he has paved the way for 213.5 yards per game on the ground for the Cardinal, 17th-best in the nation.
Marecic's remarkable season has also included a one-yard rushing touchdown followed by a 20-yard interception return for a touchdown in a span of 13 seconds at Notre Dame.
Marecic was also featured in the New York Times on Friday, the story is linked here.
The Cardinal, ranked as high as No. 7 in the Associated Press national poll and No. 6 in the BCS Standings, heads to Berkeley on Saturday for the 113th Big Game at 12:30 p.m.

Who doesn't love our friend and famous television personality, David Bromstad?
Among the many joys that come from the Easter holiday, an undoubted favorite is painting Easter Eggs. HGTV personality David Bromstad has a couple of handy tricks for how to make an easy and affordable Easter activity more glamorous and memorable than you could imagine!
" an easy and affordable Easter activity more glamorous and memorable than you could imagine!"
Bromstad's key to any project is a little forethought and a little bit of thinking outside the box. For starters, instead of taking basic primary colors, Bromstad suggests using bold metallics—golds, silvers, bronzes and copper! Using either metallic paints or a spray paint, simply apply a coat of brilliant metallic as the base.
From there, a craftier Easter Egg-maker can apply a secondary metallic for a complementary leafing effect. Your Easter eggs will be mistake for Faberge eggs in no time! Kids can take these shimmering delights and add their own touches: sequins, lace... any bit of imagination will go a long way.
To top off your Easter basket, Bromstad's finishing touch involves using black or white grass instead of green. This will make the metallics pop out more, and make your basket the best on the block.
While non-traditional for Easter standards, metallic Easter eggs are undeniably bold, brilliant, and beautiful—nothing less from one of reality TV's most respected and beloved personalities in the design industry. In his career, David Bromstad is known for his design flourishes that work with his out-of-the-box approach to every project. Even an Easter basket has to have his signature touch of flair!
About DAVID BROMSTAD:
David Bromstad is the original winner of HGTV Design Star, which led to his gig as host and designer on his first hit series for HGTV, Color Splash. David completed more than 150 makeovers for Color Splash around the country including San Francisco, New York and Miami. David has also appeared on HGTV programs including HGTV'd, HGTV Showdown, Bang for Your Buck, and more. He is also the host and mentor of HGTV Star.

Peppermint Twist
There are lots of fun & easy things you can do for peppermint-themed party décor! Here are some of our favorite ideas:
• Create "bouquets" of candy canes in small glass vases and embellish the vase with a band or ribbon.
• Wrap cylinder vases with red and white paper (one color each), then embellish them with the opposite color ribbon, wrapped diagonally to create a "candy cane" look. Fill the vases with tight bunches of red and white flowers.
• Fill white bowls with red, silver, and white ball ornaments, preferably with a satin or frosted finish for this theme (as opposed to shiny).
• Serve a signature drink such as a Stirrings Chocolate Peppermint Martini or Starbucks Frostini and garnish with a miniature candy cane.
• Create a themed sweets buffet with the following:
- Trays of chocolate truffles, drizzled red or white icing on top.
- White-chocolate covered pretzels drizzled with red icing and milk chocolate.
- Sugar cookies and cupcakes frosted with red and white icing, then dusted with crushed candy canes.
- Candy canes dipped in milk chocolate on the bottom (2-3" up the stem of the cane)

In This Week's Episode of the Sun/Oracle Saga...
By pelegri on Nov 11, 2009
This week carries a new episode in the Sun/Oracle/EU saga: The EU Comission has issued a statement of objections on the acquisition of Sun by Oracle.
Since I am a Sun employee, I will just provide the basic links, no matter how tempting it might be to go beyond that...
• (Nov 9th) EU issues SoO -
I've only found indirect references to the SoO, like Sun's
K-8 Filing.
The material would make for good pulp fiction. It's very sad to see the impact on people, but today I was talking with a friend that was affected and he was being very good at keeping things in perspective, so I thought of using the front cover of a true pulp fiction: Doc Savage - which I first encountered in an old Spanish translation in a storage room in my grandfather's flat in Barcelona (together with copies of The Shadow and El Coyote).
Perhaps also time to watch again the movie? Blu-ray, pretty please?

This investigation was an international collaboration between NASA and the JAXA space agencies to investigate the potential value of antiresorptive agents to mitigate the well-established bone changes associated with long-duration spaceflight.
We report the results from seven International Space Station (ISS) astronauts who spent a mean of 5.5 months on the ISS and who took an oral dose of 70 mg of alendronate weekly starting 3 weeks before flight and continuing throughout the mission. All crewmembers had available for exercise a treadmill, cycle ergometer, and a resistance exercise device. Our assessment included densitometry of multiple bone regions using X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and assays of biomarkers of bone metabolism.
In addition to pre- and post-flight measurements, we compared our results to 18 astronauts who flew ISS missions and who exercised using an early model resistance exercise device, called the interim resistance exercise device, and to 11 ISS astronauts who exercised using the newer advanced resistance exercise device (ARED). Our findings indicate that the ARED provided significant attenuation of bone loss compared with the older device although post-flight decreases in the femur neck and hip remained. The combination of the ARED and bisphosphonate attenuated the expected decline in essentially all indices of altered bone physiology during spaceflight including: DXA-determined losses in bone mineral density of the spine, hip, and pelvis, QCT-determined compartmental losses in trabecular and cortical bone mass in the hip, calculated measures of fall and stance computed bone strength of the hip, elevated levels of bone resorption markers, and urinary excretion of calcium.
The combination of exercise plus an antiresoptive drug may be useful for protecting bone health during long-duration spaceflight.
