Praise for You Simply Can't Spoil a Newborn
Dorothy, your book has been a godsend for us and our newborn son. After really struggling through our first week trying to get our wee man to sleep, I decided to follow the book to the letter. Worked like a charm! I think more than anything it empowers us as parents to know how to respond and keep our heads together when dealing with a distressed baby. There's always something we can do. It's straightforward, practical, and always nurturing. Our wee man knows he can feel safe and secure and loved which is what every parent hopes to provide. Thank you for putting everything you know into what has become our Bible. Now what do we do after 3 months?
Thanks again, Eva, Josh and baby Joe x

BOSS Ken Vaughan believes Bournemouth Poppies are looking good ahead of their home clash with Brockenhurst thanks to the return of professional model Chris Toy.
Toy, a 25-year-old wideman or striker, last lined up for Poppies in 2008 before leaving to study at the University of Chichester.
It was during that time that he made ends meet with some work in front of the camera while playing varsity football.
A troublesome hernia problem had prevented him playing until this season but he hit the ground with two goals in two games as Poppies responded to their 7-0 drubbing at Winchester City on the opening day with seven points from their past three matches.
Toy and fellow livewire Sam Pekun missed Saturday's FA Cup fightback against Verwood Town but with both set to return tomorrow (7.45pm), Vaughan hopes Poppies can continue their strong start to the season.
Vaughan told the Daily Echo: "With Chris and Sam coming back in we should be able to revert to our way of playing.
"Chris has played a big part in us finding the right balance. He came in the other week and made a real impact.."
Poppies: (from) Vaughan, Doe, Jacobs, Burgis, Pearce, Saadi, Toy, Ayrton, Robinson, Cooper, Bassiriki, Fairbrother, Phillips, Pekun, Hales, Sullivan, Khider, Teixceira, Arthur.
- Elsewhere, Hamworthy United host Lymington Town (7.45pm).
Hammers: Ackerman, Yelland, Cole, Legg, Donachy, Swann, Hubbard, Blackburn, Osborne, Cook, Warren, Price, Haysom.

The 16-Bar Theatre Audition: 100 Songs Excerpted for Successful Auditions (Vocal Collection-Soprano)
(Vocal Collection). Most large audition calls for musical theatre, both professionally and in larger school situations, specify that those auditioning bring in a "16-bar" excerpt. The professionals in musical theatre often complain that singers don't know how to construct an appropriate 16-bar audition, either in choosing a song or in editing an excerpt. With this new series, that problem is solved forever! Editor Michael Dansicker, a composer/producer/music director, is a seasoned musical theatre veteran, with 100 Broadway credits. He brings his expertise and broad knowledge of the literature to this series. Each excerpt has been given a thoughtful, graceful and effective form. No more illegible scribblings for the poor audition accompanist! An enormous variety of literature is represented, from old standards to movie songs to the latest Broadway and Off-Broadway material. With 100 songs per volume, any singing actor, whatever his or her talents and strong suits, will have many choices. In the preface, the editor gives valuable pointers on the nature of a good audition and some factors in choosing songs.

Preparing for Breastfeeding During Your Pregnancy
Breastfeeding is the natural way to feed your baby and one of the healthiest choices you can make for her or him. Your body is preparing itself to feed your baby throughout your pregnancy whether you actively do anything to promote it or not. If you want to get a good start on providing the healthiest diet for your baby, though, there are things you can do during your pregnancy to help prepare for a good breastfeeding experience.
One of the best things you can do for yourself and your baby is to learn as much as you can about breastfeeding your baby before your baby is born. There are lots of books you can read about the subject. Many clinics, hospitals and health care centers offer breastfeeding classes to introduce you to the idea and give you information about how to establish a good breastfeeding relationship with your baby.
Set Up a Support System
If there's a La Leche League group meeting near you, attend a few meetings during your pregnancy to meet other women who believe breastfeeding is the best way to feed their babies. It's a chance to establish relationships with women who are experienced at nursing their babies and build a support and knowledge group you can call on if you have difficulties. You'll also get more comfortable with the idea of nursing, which will make it easier for you to breastfeed when it's time.
Ignore Bad Advice
There are a couple of pieces of well-meant but very wrong advice often given to women who plan to breastfeed. First, you do not need to "toughen" your nipples, no matter who tells you that you do. Your body will take care of that with natural hormonal changes. Don't rub or scrub your nipples to make them tougher - it will most likely backfire and leave you with tender, sore nipples that make it harder for you to nurse your baby. Second, don't keep a couple of cans of formula on hand "just in case." Having formula in the house will tempt you to use it when it seems the baby isn't getting enough breast milk. That's a self-defeating strategy - your body will increase its production of milk when the baby demands more by nursing more. If you let the baby fill up on formula, it will disturb the symbiotic balance between your baby's needs and your milk supply.
Go Shopping
There are a few accessories and wardrobe additions that will make breastfeeding far easier and more comfortable, and you can pick them up during your pregnancy. Nursing bras are designed to allow you to nurse your baby without removing your bra, which can be a blessing when your baby wants to nurse while you're away from home. There are also blouses and dresses designed to allow discreet breastfeeding. You might also want to buy an inexpensive breast pump to have on hand.
Your pregnancy is a good time to start learning about breastfeeding and get excited about the idea. The more you learn before your baby is born, the easier it will be to establish a good breastfeeding relationship with your newborn.

ClassyOldHat posted...Having a game be realistic is WAY better than having a game be balanced! In fact, I can think of ways to make it even better!
The step from the previous poster to what you said was not a logical one.
They never said that "always exactly the same" was the same as "balance." Did you just make that up? Each type can have different types of weakness/resistance as well as a variety of moves that differ from others and still be balanced (or at least try its best to be).
And none of the examples the previous user used even were examples of everything being the same as one another to represent balance.
Seriously did you even read what they said, or did you just take the word "balance" and throw it completely out of context to try and make a "point" ??

That's the end game of balance: sameness. Sure, things can be *different* yet mostly well-balanced, but if that's true in the extreme, then what you have is a game of rock-paper-scissors, and unfortunately competitive Pokemon is sometimes kind of like that.

To everyone who says breeding is "wasting your life":
ClassyOldHat was spot on when he said it's exercising patience. Patience, unlike the Pokemon metagame, is something worth learning and a skill applicable to real life. Knowing how many moves it will take to KO a Blissey is not applicable to anything. In a zen way, "wasting your life" on breeding might very well be the most useful thing you can do with your Pokemon time, even if it's dull.

Oh I see the error of my ways now. Nothing should be realistic at all; it's all about balance. Each type should have three weaknesses, three resistances, three types they hit for 2x damage, and three types they hit for .5 damage. Even that might not go far enough, because Pokemon get two types! Hey, how come only Bug and Electric have moves that let the user attack and switch out on the same turn? Clearly, every move should be replicated for every type. Every Pokemon should have roughly the same base stat total, and more equitable move pools. There are 650+ Pokemon and only 64 are viable in competitive play--that's far too realistic! Accuracy and misses should be done away with entirely, same with crits. Speed ties should be replaced by a pre-determined priority of attack types. Protect should always fail on the second consecutive try. No one should ever get lucky in any way, shape or form.
I know you intended for it to be ironic, but a lot of this stuff isn't actually bad. Personally, I found it weird that bug and electric were chosen for switching moves before types that would seem much more natural like Flying types (carrier pigeons) and don't really see how it would be unrealistic to have moves like that for every type. If turning around is somehow more associated with bugs than any other animal, it beats me how that association came to be.
Having more than 64 Pokemon be viable is not inherently unrealistic, but it would lead to a greater diversity, and by extension, a more unpredictable wi-fi scene. Which, come to think of it, is what you hope IVs would do, if I remember right.
Things like Speed ties and crits were already unrealistic, as well. And while crits are a necessary evil, they could stand to be rexamined.
It's kinda ironic, really. While some parts are a bit extreme, generally, most of your fake suggestions for balance would receive at least a lukewarm reception if you made a topic about them, even by non-metagame players; most players probably wouldn't be bothered if protect only worked every other turn, since that's pretty much how they use it anyway, for example. Meanwhile, if I made topics about these "realism" suggestions I made, I'd be labeled a troll.
Look, I'm not saying realism is bad for a game, in and of itself. Even games seemingly disconnected from all reality like Tetris or Super Hexagon use concepts like gravity or force. I'm only saying that good developers know when realism will help or hurt the experience they are trying to make, and understand when to ignore reality for balance, and vice-versa.
Xazeal posted...
I would be fine with IVs if they only ranged from 1 to 10. It would still definitely be difficult to get perfect IVs across the board (not that most Pokémon would need it anyway), but it would be much less frustrating than trying to get a legit perfect Pokémon now, which is almost impossible.
This is exactly what I've always wanted. I don't think I've ever seen someone else say it though.
Great minds think alike.
Thank God for inner monologue. ~ Miles Edgeworth

Obama Leaks Israels Attack Plan? (FrontPageMagazine.com) by P. David Hornik 04/03/12)
Source: http://frontpagemag.com/2012/04/03/obama-leaks-israels-attack-plan/

Last week Mark Perrya writer with a long anti-Israeli pedigree published a much-talked-about article in Foreign Policy. It claimed Azerbaijan had granted Israel use of some airbases for an Israeli attack on Irans nuclear facilitiesthereby helping Israel solve problems of refueling its planes and making an attack much more feasible.
Azerbaijan is a small, mostly Shiite Muslim country on Irans northern border. It has long been concerned about Irans treatment of the ethnic Azeri population living there. Azerbaijan is also one of the few Muslim countries having close economic and strategic ties with Israel.
Perry claimed his inside information came from U.S. sources, particularly four senior diplomats and military intelligence officers. He quoted one intelligence officer as saying: Were watching what Iran does closely. But were now watching what Israel is doing in Azerbaijan. And were not happy about it.
In a much-talked-about reaction to Perrys article, John Bolton claimed the Obama administration had intentionally leaked the story as part of [its] campaign against an Israeli attack, weakening Israels hand by revealing very sensitive, very important information.
Bolton said that, while he didnt have hard proof of it, Clearly, this is an administration-orchestrated leak. This is not a rogue CIA guy saying I think Ill leak this out.
He added: Its just unprecedented to reveal this kind of information about one of your own allies.
One major Israeli military analyst, Ron Ben-Yishai, reacted similarly to Bolton and went even further, writing that the Obama administration was carrying out a targeted assassination of potential Israeli operations in Iran with media leaks that had caused Israel substantive diplomatic damage, and possibly even military and operational damage.
Along with the Foreign Policy article, Ben-Yishai emphasized a report by the Congressional Research Service, also published last week, claiming an Israeli attack would only set Irans nuclear program back by about six months. Any Iranian intelligence analyst reading these two open sources, Ben-Yishai averred, will find invaluable information there.
And having served as a reporter in Washington for seven years, Ben- Yishai said he
kn[e]w very well that with a few exceptions, the U.S. administration knows how to prevent leaks to the media if it so wishes . What we are seeing here is not a trickle of information, but rather, a powerful current, a true flood that leaves no doubt as to the existence of an orchestrated media campaign with clear aims.
The administration, for its part, denied leaking the information on Azerbaijan and said it would gladly prosecute those behind it if it knew who they were. An official told Israels Ynet that Washington and Jerusalem were cooperating more closely than ever on Iran and making tremendous efforts.
That denial may not seem significant in itself, as the administration would hardly confirm that it was responsible for the leak, while declining to comment would be the same as an admission.
More notable, though, is that by early this week some Israeli analysts no less weighty than Ben-Yishai had taken a different tack on the Foreign Policy article.
Ehud Yaari, one of Israels most senior commentators on Middle Eastern affairs, scoffed in The Times of Israel that Perrys report simply does not make any sense and was another of his cloak- and-dagger patchwork stories aimed at undermining the state he intensely detests.
Yaari asked how Azerbaijan could possibly provide Israel with airbases for striking Iran when
Iranian missiles can quite easily knock out those airbases as well as the huge Azeri BP oil terminal near Baku, which is the lifeline of the countrys economy. Tehran leaders are on record stating that they will retaliate forcefully against any state that will provide bases for an attack against it.
In another article The Times of Israel cited two Israeli security experts who similarly dismissed Perrys claims. One, Shlomo Brom, said they were utterly baseless. Azerbaijan is a small country that borders on Iran. It just doesnt make sense they would help Israel attack them. It would be suicidal.
To sum up: Perry indeed has an intense animus against Israelhaving warned, for instance, against the emergence of Jewish Hezbollahand it is also true that small countries like Azerbaijan generally do not want to infuriate a much more powerful, ruthless neighbor.
But even if the Foreign Policy article is basically Perrys concoction and the administration is not behind it, it remains the case that the media has been awash with delegitimations of any Israeli action against Iran. In addition to the congressional report, the New York Times reported last month on a classified Pentagon simulation game forecasting that an Israeli attack would spark a regional conflagration and could cost hundreds of U.S. casualties; the Times has also run a series of stories claiming U.S. intelligence and even the Israeli Mossad still are unsure Iran wants to build a bomb at all.
When you combine all this with open statements by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and by Obama himself about the supposed ineffectiveness and bad consequences of an Israeli attack, the impression of an orchestrated campaign remains. That means Israel still may have to choose between putting its fate in the Obama administrations hands or going into action very much by itself. (Copyright © 2012 FrontPageMagazine.com 04/03/12)

Hahahaha, oh boy. I *so* hear you. In fact, someone just sent me a message on Twitter saying "I understand you make a living writing about being single, but does that mean we married people can't answer your questions?" (I replied kindly, not saying what I wanted to of "Your advice to my plea to Cupid to help me find someone to be with of 'My wife landed me by cooking' is not only condescending but completely unwarranted because I am just barely beyond the 'I burn toast' phase of my cooking odyssey") But it stopped me short...does everyone assume that when I write about anything to do with relationships I'm writing as that single girl? Are they seeing my opinions through the tint or am I? I'm not explaining myself well. Do we see everything through a lens. Or do others impose that lens on our perception? There...that might be a tiny smidge better?
Forget all the reasons…
"Forget all the reasons why it won't work. and believe the one reason why it will." – unknown
Have you ever noticed that the majority of the world, especially women, see things (pictures, quotes, songs, movies) through a filter of the current mood, emotion or even phase in life. I saw the movie No Strings Attached on Monday night and I very much saw it through colored glasses that have a "I'm in a relationship" filter. I don't want to spoil the movie since it's pretty new, but I know my perception was different than the single females sitting in the theater with me.
Several years ago, I remember I saw Sex & the City The Movie with several of my girlfriends. I was fresh out of a long-term failed relationship so I hated, no I HATED, the movie. I walked away saying "ok I see, so if you want to be happy you MUST get back together with the person you broke up with." My married friend heard a completely different message of "you do whatever it takes to make a relationship work" and she quite enjoyed the movie. She was relating to Miranda while I was relating to Carrie. Only, because of my current phase in life I didn't like that Carrie ended up in the end in the "on again off again" relationship.
So, the question is, what do you do when you catch yourself assessing something through a strong filter? Whether that be the newly single, overly in-love, or happy to be single colored lens. The I love my job, unemployed, hate my job, or am scared of losing my job filter.
Do you see the quote in the first picture above as inspiring or cheesy? Obvious or annoying? A reason to smile or a reason to cry? Does is change if you know the author intended that quote to be about relationships? How about if it was about your career?February 10, 2011 in movie, quote
Are they seeing my opinions through the tint or am I? excellent question. I say a little of both. Sometimes people don't mean to put that single girl cap on you or perhaps they don't realize it. Other times it's very intentional. I had a friend once ask how my weekend was when I was single, I told her "stay home and netfllixed it all weekend", her response was something to the effect of "well one day you'll have someone to do that with and let me tell you it's great." eerr I think that could go on the website STFU Marrieds. AND sometimes they weren't doing that at all but that's what we thought/saw in what they said to us.
Reading that quote, with that particular picture, makes me think neither of relationships nor careers. To me, that quote/picture takes me back to an 18 year old girl fresh from a small town in Texas, desperate to get out and spread her wings in the UK. To me, it reminds me of all the obstacles that stood in my way of getting to England, and the fact that the one thing that got me there was sheer determination and will! But that is coming from the lens of a now 28 year old Texan, married to a Brit, living in England rocking her newborn son whilst the other naps upstairs, both of which will have dual UK/US citizenships, Perhaps my lens at the moment is one of amazement of how I got to be where I am today. It wasn't about relationships for me, perhaps because the relationship I happen to be in is...shall we say, secure? It isn't a question of whether it will work...it does work, it has been working, and is working! It wasn't about my career, because at the moment my career is on hold while I focus on raising two little creatures to be sensible somewhat grown ups, when my career will then resume. So my lovely Elysa, how times have changed!! My lens seems to be a completely different color (colour?) than it once was. :) Perhaps we should all go by Edith Piaf's song, La Vie En Rose, and see life through rose colored spectacles? That seems like a nice way to go about it. :) But do we have a choice in the matter?
time and geography most certainly change the color of our lenses. I'm currently perturbed by "this annoying winter" which of course is quite mild compared to your side of the world. And even my tired is not the same as a sleepless mom with 2 little ones (one being less than 2 weeks old). I do think we have a choice in the matter to a degree. If we notice we are overly tired or stressed and are taking things personally than we can opt to re-look at the perception. But everyone's individual priorities of course make a different in the lenses we have, whether or not we choose them. PS: I'm sure your husband have told you we have randomly been tweeting late night/early morning while he's been up with your new addition to the family.

ELMWOOD PLACE, Ohio (AP) -- Police say a 10-year-old Ohio boy who wears ankle braces told them he brought a BB gun to his elementary school to intimidate students who bullied him about his physical limitations and being small for his age.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://bit.ly/d3rIUB ) reports he'll be charged in juvenile court with inducing panic for taking the BB gun to his school Monday in suburban Elmwood Place.
Officer Leah Schindler says a principal reported Monday that a handful of students saw the weapon. Schindler says the children believed the gun was real and one said the boy threatened to fire it.
Schindler says the boy reported getting the BB gun from his mother.
The newspaper says the boy's mother didn't respond to an interview request, and school officials couldn't be reached for comment.

Britney Spears Will Duet With Sister Jamie Lynn on 'Britney Jean': See the Complete Track List
To combat those pesky hackers, Britney Spears has taken it upon herself to reveal Britney Jean's complete official track list this week.
Aside from the obvious "Work Bitch" and "Perfume" and the previously-leaked "Passenger," Spears' forthcoming studio album will also include a duet with little sister Jamie Lynn — who's stayed away from the spotlight since giving birth to her daughter at the age of 16 — as well as collaborations with will.i.am and T.I.
The songstress tweeted out a photo of the track list, writing:

|William A. Grant, who may have been the Agency's first African-American employee, retires at the mandatory age of 70 after 51 years, 9 months, and 6 days of service. A Washington, DC, native, he had been hired as a student assistant to test cement and aggregates for concrete under Dr. A. B. Cushman. Soon, Director Logan Page arranged for Grant to receive special training in the Office of Geological Survey, where he learned to make, polish, and mount thin sections of mineral and rock specimens for petrographic study and classification. He performed this work for the remainder of his career. According to The News in Public Roads, "Mr. Grant holds a unique place in the respect and affection of his associates. The importance of doing his work conscientiously and with pride in the result has always been his principal concern." Mr. Grant died on August 20, 1966, at Freedmen's Hospital in Washington, DC, after a brief illness.

District officials, students, parents ready for back to school
By Sherri Kolade
Posted August 27, 2014
FARMINGTON — Dozens upon dozens of bright-eyed, incoming Farmington High School freshmen packed into the gymnasium early Aug. 22 and got down to the business of fun.
These future FHS students — along with junior and senior Link Leaders guiding the upbeat group — bonded and problem-solved before the first school bell echoed down the halls Sept. 2.
During a Link Crew Orientation, FHS staff and students prepped the class of 2018 during the annual Link Crew Freshmen Orientation to make the transition from middle school to high school a positive one. It was one of many orientations occurring throughout the district.
Link Crew is a high school transition program aimed at increasing freshman success. Juniors and seniors in the program are Link Leaders who act as positive role models and mentors to freshmen they partner up with at the beginning of the school year.
Large and small group activities were designed to address students' needs and concerns.
"The biggest thing is being happy to see your fellow students being in the Link Crew," incoming senior Justin Baldwin said, while sporting the signature Link Crew tie-dye shirt during the orientation, which he will also wear during the first day of school so freshmen can easily recognize his position and receive assistance if need be. "You have to rely on your other Link Crew leaders to be successful. It is like paying it forward. My freshman year started off not as good as I wanted it to be. I made mistakes, and I don't want that to happen (to them)."
FHS officials held a brief meeting for parents of freshmen in the auditorium, providing them with an overview of the school and its philosophy, and an introduction to school administrators.
Tara Walker, parent of a ninth-grader and an 11th-grader, said FHS has a lot of clubs for her children to be involved in, as well as teacher support.
"Everything is great," Walker said. "I like the family environment. The teachers are very supportive. Teachers know me by name. There is lots of communication, which is very important to me, and quick feedback; it is a true partnership."
New Farmington Public Schools Superintendent George Heitsch said that partnership is felt districtwide.
"Once the students come back in the fall, it is going to feel like a new school year, always … with a lot of excitement and a lot of hope," Heitsch said in his office Aug. 12. "But the system is still going to operate with the same high-efficiency and student caring that it always did in the past. I'm excited to get it going."
Heitsch, who was selected as the new superintendent during a special May 8 board meeting, said he has reacclimated himself with the district after serving FPS before, and he is ready to lead.
"Things have changed," he said. "Eight years in a community's life in a school system is a long time. Students that were in kindergarten when I left … are now high school freshmen. That is a big difference. Their lives are different. The community has changed some."
Incoming Farmington Hills freshman Jake Justice, 14, whose family moved from Tennessee, said he came to the district for the opportunity to receive a wrestling scholarship down the line.
Justice, who has been wrestling since he was 7 years old, said there are opportunities here.
"We decided to try it out," he said during freshman orientation, adding that another passion is science.
"I'm hoping they'll have a good science program here. It is probably one of my strong suits," he said.
FHS Assistant Principal David Reese said the nice thing about FHS is that academically, students have exposure to "a ton" of student leadership groups, among other aspects.
"That is one of the themes we hear, educational and instructional support for all," he said. "Each year, you get invigorated by the students coming in. They all bring in different personalities and … you are constantly learning from kids."

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Sushi Bon is known for having the freshest sushi around, and there's a reason for that: Because of its location near a marina, it is one of the few restaurants legally allowed to buy fish fresh and straight off the boat from fishermen. (A weird Florida law stipulates that unless an eatery is next to a marina, fish must be bought from a distributor.) Sushi junkies stick to blackboard specials: often triggerfish, grouper, wahoo, or tilefish. But no matter what you order, the artful presentations will wow you. Chef Ebi Hana assembles simple, beautiful dishes in a traditional Japanese setting. No wonder this place is a destination for foodies and chefs off work. If you have not been, you must go.
Lauren DeShields is a young chef with discipline. She assembles dish after graceful dish with local products that transform the craft of cooking into an art. An acolyte of chef Dean Max of 3030 Ocean, DeShields is among the most pedigreed young chefs in town. If you've got coin, splurge for the grand tasting menu: a 17-course tour de force full of surprises, from the amuse-bouche teaser down to the whimsy of dessert. You may find the snapper and shrimp ceviche layered with red pepper, lime, and cilantro — a palate cleanser with a bite of heat. Or antelope — a brawny plate, dressed in savory soy and ginger marinade, served over a bed of quinoa. You may wrap things up with a cheese course, with raw-milk blue and Morimoto Soba Ale cheddar. Served with a tangy beet/date chutney and Marcona almonds, they're one of many delicious bites on a memorable journey.
There's a danger in getting too attached to any one dish at Dennis Max's "farm to fork" restaurant in Pineapple Grove. Although one may be tempted to develop a dependency on pan-seared gnocchi spiked with morel mushrooms and truffled fondue, or a tempura-battered squash blossom stuffed with creamy goat cheese, that would be a mistake. With its reliance on purveyors like Green Cay Farms, Heritage Hen Farm, and Farmer Jay Pure Organics, the restaurant's daily menu depends entirely on what is good, fresh, and sustainable. There are mainstays, of course, but dishes evolve with the seasons, following nature's arc of availability. With two outdoor seating areas (one streetside and the other on a quieter back patio complete with a waterfall) and two dining rooms, the environs can vary just as much as the offerings on the table. The kitchen is open, a wise design move that gives diners a bit of a show. Executive chef Chris Miracolo and crew work magic with their fleeting stock, finessing, say, something as flat as microgreens into a vessel that one uses to sop up every last speckle of a guava pepper jelly. If it's something you can't live without, order seconds. Nature is an ever-fluctuating supplier, and Max's Harvest intends to keep up.
Shortly after Tap 42 opened, New Times panned it in a January review, and commenters on Yelp and Urbanspoon went nuts complaining of lax service and uneven food. Some restaurants shutter after such a rough start, but Tap 42 responded by hiring a new chef, a new manager, and a staff that's nearly unrecognizable from opening night. The changes are dramatic. The service is now spot-on, with a staff that's educated about the extensive beer, bourbon, and wine lists. The kitchen is putting out consistently stellar food, from a burger that's among the best around to salads locally sourced at Marando Farms. Then there's the stunning space, including a sweeping bar backsplash made of 15,000 pennies and cross-cut wood beams that are sunk into the back wall. The bar has been crowded since day one, but where you'd once hear grumbling about servers who'd gone missing and food that came out wrong, nowadays the talk is about Tap 42's comeback.
The naysayers claimed it couldn't be done. They sniffed and smirked, saying a noodle bar with an edgy style and fun concept couldn't survive in a brisket-loving city of grayhairs. But more than half a year after opening, this Mizner Park restaurant can thumb its nose at early detractors. The spot is flourishing, thanks in no small part to the challenging but accessible dishes streaming out of the kitchen during a slamming dinner hour and an aesthetic that is simultaneously trendy and unpretentious. The restaurant specializes in steaming bowls of noodles swimming in fragrant broth, but it's the small plates — a sticky bun crammed with smoky mushrooms, hamachi with grapefruit-ginger poached pears — that give one pause. With a young chef eager to prove her chops and a team of experienced restaurateurs to steer operations, it's a story of controlled experimentation — and South Florida diners are fortunate to reap the results.
Angelo Elia has nothing to prove. He has already earned his reputation as a terrific chef, this Florida resident who arrived from the region near Naples, Italy, more than 20 years ago. At his elegant namesake institution and four spinoffs, he offers stunning dishes and graceful service. Humble cuts like osso buco are elevated from simple veal flanks to lust-worthy plates, served with sides of marrow. Carbonara is the perfect combination of egg, cheese, guanciale, and herbs on homemade pasta. Some recipes come straight from Elia's mother's restaurants in Italy, and many of his ingredients are well-traveled too, all the way down to imported yeast. An original DIY-er, Elia makes bread in-house and makes some cheeses too. He employs four pizzaiolos, and his restaurants offer the most extensive wine selections around — some 20,000 bottles. Despite all this, he's prepping for more. Two restaurants will debut in Palm Beach County this year, and a bakery and gelateria is on the docket for Delray. Thanks, chef.


text: Ansell's mole-rats (Fukomys anselli) live in families of a breeding pair and several overlapping generations of their non-breeding offspring. Locomotor activity of 47 Ansell's mole-rats from six laboratory families was recorded for a week using radio frequency identification (RFID). This technique allowed monitoring each animal's activity without isolating them from other members of their family. Animals were active about 17% of the recording time, and older animals were significantly less active than younger ones. Females tended to be slightly more active than males. There was no significant difference in the amount of activity between breeding and non-breeding individuals. Consequently, the activity pattern does not seem to account for previously reported differences in longevity between breeding and non-breeding animals.

Unlike most rap vocalists, Ugly Duckling's Andy Cooper has rarely worked outside of his band but, recently, he decided to record a ten-song LP to explore his abilities as an MC and producer. 'Room to Breathe:The Free LP' features a highly creative Hip-Hop veteran showcasing his mastery of fundamental rap skill while, at the same time, daringly pushing the boundaries of lyrical possibility. Andy also holds down things on the beat, using his years of experience as Ugly Duckling co-producer to combine classic, sample-rich sound with a more rugged and modern sensibility. Obviously, projects come and go faster than I can finish this sentence but 'Room To Breathe: The Free LP' is truly worth digesting because it challenges the standard Hip-Hop formulas on the market. Rather than jumping on the latest trend or standing firm on Old-School principles, Andy utilizes all the resources of experience,technology and a relentlessly imaginative mind to offer something traditional, yet exciting and relevant.
Any listener who is an authentic connoisseur of Rap Music will be both stimulated and energized by this release which is truly, and literally, a gift to weary Hip-Hop fans who have just about given up on the genre. 'Room To Breathe' is the product of Andy Cooper's thousands of hours of dedicated toil in studios and on stages, he's now welcoming you to taste the fruits of his labor! Enjoy the ride!
Andy Cooper is an accomplished songwriter, performer, producer and arranger who hails from and resides in Long Beach, California. After graduating from Poly high school in the mid-1990's, Andy helped form and produce the Hip-Hop trio Ugly Duckling which, over the span of 20 years, released six albums while frequently touring the globe, their success has taken them to over 30 countries. Now, he's releasing his debut solo effort 'Room To Breathe-The Free LP'(26.02.2016, Unique Records / Groove Attack) which features ten, high-powered tracks built on traditional Hip-Hop and Funk sound.
The album showcases a skilled vocalist and beat-maker working at the top-level with a new angle on his music. Cooper reflects, "Being a member of a group like Ugly Duckling is an honor and privilege but stepping out on my own has been really exciting because of the freedom to explore and push the limits of my ability." From the scorching battle-rap 'Bring It To Me' to the super-groovy, care-free rhyming on 'Room to Breathe' (the song) to the half-tempo track 'Number One' where Andy raps at the speed of light, Cooper consistently brings the heavy artillery for Classic Rap fans.

Getting past looks? One of the mosit important things when choosing an instrument is how it looks. Why do you think manufacturers release things in different colors and configs? Because they have to make instruments that appeal to everyone. I totally get your point, but waht you are going to realize is you care about looks, then you dont, then you sit back and say "You know what I like what I like!"
If your looking at 7 strings, youd be hard pressed to find a better one than the Wade or householder model. Just phenomenal guitars, and I dont play 7's/ Another one I liked was a Buz McGrath sig. INCREDIBLE body shape and when I do a custom itll have that body.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 24.0198 Wednesday, 24 April 2013
Date: April 24, 2013 2:47:31 AM EDT
Subject: 20th Anniversary: German Shakespeare Society Reunited and Dieter Mehl's Memoirs
Dieter Mehl: A Historical Episode. The Reunification of the German Shakespeare Society. Personal Reminiscences (Studien zur englischen Literatur, 24). Muenster: LIT-Verlag, 2013. (in German)
The German Shakespeare Society was founded in Weimar in 1864. Against the background of the Cold War, and after its President, Rudolf Alexander Schröder, died in 1963, the Society split into a Weimar Society and a West German Society, which, as two independent entities, went their different ways for the next thirty years, each with its own activities and membership. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, intensive negotiations resulted in a common conference followed by reunification.
Dieter Mehl, honorary Vice-President of the 'World Shakespeare Association', was elected first President of the united Society, and was twice re-elected at the conclusion of a three-year term of office. He occupied the position between 1993 and 2002. His personal reminiscences describe these events – so typical for this period of German history – from the point of view of an eye-witness. The book Dieter Mehl's book Eine historische Episode. Die Wiedervereinigung der Deutschen Shakespeare-Gesellschaft. Persönliche Erinnerungen .is available under:
German Shakespeare Society: Twenty Years On
It was twenty years ago that the two German Shakespeare Societies were solemnly reunited – societies which had, ever since their split in 1963, followed wholly divergent political and scholarly paths, each with its own annual conferences, yearbooks and membership.
The German Shakespeare Society, one of the oldest literary societies in Germany, was founded in Weimar on the 23rd April 1864 on the occasion of the three-hundredth anniversary of Shakespeare's birthday. The initial impulse can be traced back to Wilhelm Oechelhäuser, an industrialist with a passion for literature, who managed to get the support of Franz Dingelstedt, the director of the Weimar Court Theatre, of various other literary scholars, and most importantly of Baroness Sophie von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach as the Society's first patroness. The purpose of the Society was and remains to promote the appreciation of Shakespeare on stage and page by means of theatrical productions, translations, prestigious editions, annual conferences, and a growing Shakespeare library. In 1904 the Society commissioned the Shakespeare monument which still stands in a park by the river Ilm. It was in pursuit of such aims, then, that the Society, its membership augmented in the course of a century by people from every social class, made itself felt in Germany.
With the end of the Second World War, the division of Germany into zones of occupation, and the beginning of the Cold War, political conflicts within the Shakespeare Society itself reached a crisis and led, as preparations were in hand to celebrate Shakespeare's 400th birthday (1964), to a definitive split. Until 1993 the West German Shakespeare Society had its headquarters in Bochum and the East German Shakespeare Society in Weimar. The originally smaller part of the membership resident in what was to become the GDR was able to develop a significant cultural impetus, effective in the realms both of theatre and scholarship. Those members resident in the GFR constituted themselves as the West German Shakespeare Society and, using the city of Bochum – famed for its theatre – as a base, continued to promote the appreciation of Shakespeare amongst German-speakers, meanwhile establishing international connections of great vitality, particularly with other European countries and the English-speaking world.
Even before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany, the two German Shakespeare Societies had begun making tentative approaches to one another – approaches accelerated after 1989 by a mutual desire for understanding and reunification. Consequently, a committee, in which both Societies had equal membership, was formed whose purpose was to lay the groundwork for reunification. It was agreed that the Weimar conference of 1993 would see a common programme of scholarship and the election of a single governing committee with its president from the former West German Society (Dieter Mehl, Chair in English at Bonn University) and a vice-president (Maik Hamburger, Berlin, translator and dramaturge) from the former East German Society. As a concession to legal requirements, the West German Society, in the guise of a subsidiary branch, was integrated into the East German Society with its headquarters in Weimar, and dissolved itself a year later. The headquarters of the reunited Society is the one it had during its first hundred years: Weimar. A single Shakespeare Yearbook is produced annually by the same Bochum publishing house once responsible for those of the West German Society. The Bochum headquarters closed its doors in June 1994.
In the twenty years since the reunification, the German Shakespeare Society has organized annual conferences in Weimar, Bochum and, on occasion, in other places, such as Bremen, Berlin, Vienna and Zurich, with prominent guests and lectures from the most disparate parts of the world. With around two thousand members, amongst them numerous university students and Shakespeare enthusiasts, the Society shows virtually no sign of its previous split. The hard work of reconciliation, and also the joy occasioned by a harmonious reunification will soon, no doubt, belong to a dimly-remembered past.

Vehicle manufacturers posted strong improvements in vehicle quality, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 U.S. Initial Quality Study.
Here's a look at eight highlights from the report.
- The highest-ranked nameplate for a second consecutive year goes to luxury-vehicle maker Lexus.
- Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) received five model-level awards.
- General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Nissan (PINK:NSANY) each earned four awards.
- Overall, vehicle manufacturers are producing higher-quality products than ever before and have posted strongest improvement in initial quality since 2009.
- Innovative technology has contributed heavily to the the fact that the struggling industry is producing a greater number of higher quality vehicles than ever before.
- However, most quality problems cataloged were related to audio, entertainment, and navigation systems. Problems in those areas have increased by 8% from 2011, mostly because more cars now come with technological advances that were once reserved for luxury models.
- The 2012 IQ ranked 34 brands and recorded improvement in 26. Compared to results from 2911, five brands have declined, one scored the same and two were not included in the 2011 study.
- Of the 185 models ranked in both the 2012 and 2011, 65% have improved.
- The average quality of all-new or redesigned models improved 12%, with 11 all-new or redesigned models performing better than their segment average.

Two weeks ago Saturday, I graduated college. On to the real world, yada, yada, yada (no sex or bisque was had). Fast forward to this past Saturday and I'm moving to my own apartment. Truly living on my own for the first time. Until Tuesday morning, I didn't have cable or internet. It's just been me, my thoughts, and an ever expanding list of things to get done so I can properly live in this new city (and state).
Virtually the first thing I got done was one of the most important things in my mind. This is how I truly made my first apartment my own.
Yes, I am quite fond of this bookshelf. A soon to be over flowing Marvel shelf, a signed print by Dr. J and the artist, a pumpkin juice bottle straight from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, a mini bat from The Baseball Hall of Fame, a smaller but high quality stack of DC, Vertigo, and a few others, the full Harry Potter series, Harry's wand, and some electrical engineering textbooks (those can go as soon as more space is needed).
So this is the beginning of making my apartment my own. I've got movie and video game cases on a separate set of shelves. I can show those later, but I have some truly nerdy artistic decor planned. And btw, I have over 300 silver age comics not shown here. Actually I haven't really had a chance to look through them all yet. But I hope I can show them off for you later.

It is still in the Developer context. The problem is not that you cannot
find its documentation page if you search for it, but that now it is
much more difficult to just "stumble upon" this functionality if you do
not know that it exists.
The new help browser lets you search if you know what you are looking
for. But in the old help system you could just browse the functions and
see what they do (and learn a lot this way).
The new help has some advantages; I just don't understand why did they
take away the always-visible, hierarchical table of contexts and the
master index. Why can't we have both the search and an organised table

Regional Reviews: Washington, D.C.
Also see Susan's review of The Sex Habits of American Women
The 1975 musical by with music by Gary Geld, lyrics by Peter Udell, and book by James Lee Barrett, Udell, and Philip Rose originated with a 1963 screenplay by Barrett, which starred Jimmy Stewart as a Virginia farmer determined to keep his family safe from the Civil War. John Cullum headed the Broadway cast with an outsized, heroic performance. Scott Bakula takes the role at Ford's and makes it his own, playing patriarch Charlie Anderson not as a symbol, but on a human scale, a man deeply invested in his family.
The core of Tobin Ost's scenic design is a large, weathered picture frame inscribed with the words "The Nation Mourns." The frame sets up a diorama effect for the opening number, "Raise the Flag of Dixie," which depicts a Civil War battle among members of the male chorus who, in costumes also designed by Ost, are wearing Rebel gray on one side, Union blue on the other. The singers need only reverse profiles to become the enemy, a neat metaphor for the brother-against-brother nature of the conflict.
Charlie believes that, since he and his family have never owned slaves and work their own land by themselves, the battle between north and south is none of their business. He works the land with the help of his six sons, one daughter, and a pregnant daughter-in-law, and only becomes involved with the war when it strikes his own family.
Bakula's portrayal of Charlie is deeply thoughtful and ultimately anguished, whether recounting his concerns at his wife's grave or taking decisive action on behalf of his children. Through it all, he ably portrays an ordinary man pushed to do things he never thought he would have to do.
The older Anderson sons (Aaron Ramey, Andrew Samonsky, Rick Faugno, Bret Shuford, Ryan Jackson) tend to blur into each other, but they're all strapping fellows whose gymnastic dance to "Next to Lovin' (I Like Fightin')" is closely related to the muscular choreography of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The youngest son (Kevin Clay) gets more chance to show off, and he's well matched in size and voice with Mike Mainwaring as a slave child.
Perhaps because of the changing perception of women's roles since 1975, this production builds up the role of Charlie's daughter Jenny (Megan Lewis), allowing her to roughhouse with her brothers while also giving her comic romantic scenes with her bashful suitor, Sam (Noah Racey). Jenny's assertiveness also provides an ironic counterpoint to the "wisdom about women" her father gives Sam when he asks to marry her.

West Indies floored by England young guns
Aaron Moores | cricket20
England laid down an early marker ahead of their t20 World Cup title defence in Sri Lanka next year thanks to an emphatic 10 wicket victory over a miss firing West Indies side at the Kia Oval in London.
Ravi Bopara (4-10) led the way, picking up four wickets to record the best ever t20 bowling figures by an Englishman as the Windies were bowled out for just 125 despite reaching 97-2 in the 14th over.
Faced with a victory target of 126, Craig Kieswetter (58) and Alex Hales (62) saw England home in a trouble free opening stand of 128 which helped the home side claim an easy victory in the 16th over.
Openers Johnson Charles (36) and Dwayne Smith (33) got the West Indies off to the perfect start with an opening stand of 51 but the World Champions fought their way back into the game thanks to Samit Patel (2-23).
The 26 year old all rounder struck in the 6th over to remove Smith before ending Charles international debut in the 14th over to spark the collapse which the West Indies lose eight wickets in the space of just 39 deliveries.

As the Trojans begin the final week of practices prior to the spring game it was shoulder pads and shorts practice on Tuesday. The team has been hit with injuries during the physical spring and, even though the load was lightened a little, USC coach Lane Kiffin was happy with the intensity.
"We really wanted to focus on keeping guys staying up today and that usually happens when we don't go full pads," Kiffin said. "I thought we were still able to have a physical practice."
Highlight plays
From deep in his own end, Cody Kessler stood in the pocket against strong pressure and fired late to Nelson Agholor for 12 yards and a first down.
Max Wittek had his chance with the ball near his goal line and he found Victor Blackwell with a quick strike, and Blackwell put on the jets to race for a long touchdown despite valiant pursuit from Leon McQuay III.
Jalen Cope-Fitzpatrick made a nice catch of a low-thrown ball across the middle from Wittek.
McQuay popped the ball loose from Cope-Fitzpatrick after a short catch.
Goal-line intensity
One of the most fiery drills of any practice is when the ball is placed inside the 5-yard line and the offense takes its shots at the end zone.
On Tuesday it started with Justin Davis taking a handoff up the middle and being stopped short by Lamar Dawson. George Uko followed that by stringing Davis to the left and getting a 3-yard loss. Kessler hit Agholor for a touchdown against Ryan Henderson. Buck Allen took a toss sweep to the left for a score, and then Davis had a touchdown up the middle. Jahleel Pinner took a short pass from Wittek and fought through a Dawson tackle attempt at the goal line for the score. Devian Shelton ended the drill by knocking away a pass attempt in the end zone.
Josh Shaw started at corner in 2012 but has been moved to safety in the spring and has been the most consistent defensive back. However, with plenty of talented bodies expected at safety in the fall, and with concerns about the play of the corners, Kiffin said the coaches will consider moving Shaw back to corner.
"Josh will play safety on Saturday because it wouldn't be right to move him right now," Kiffin said. "We will evaluate in the offseason to look at possibly moving him back."
Shaw responded like a veteran to his uncertain position status.
"It is a compliment just knowing that I can do both and that they have faith in me," Shaw said.
Injury updates
Kevon Seymour returned to limited practice on Tuesday after missing much of the spring with an injury. Seymour also missed time last fall with injury and that has slowed the progress for one of the projected starters at corner.
"It's been tough to evaluate Kevon because of the injuries," Kiffin said. "He's shown flashes of good play and he has the skill set to be a really good player."
Seymour had a great rep in a goal-line drill to knock a pass away from Agholor.
Demetrius Wright also returned to the secondary as he battles a hip injury.
Three players left practice today: Cyrus Hobbi, De'Von Flournoy and Antwaun Woods.
Jabari Ruffin did not practice. Darreus Rogers tried to practice but was unable to do much before needing to leave the field.
Scrimmage plans
Kiffin said the scrimmage format will be "offense vs. defense" rather than "1s vs. 1s" or "2s vs. 2s," etc. With the limited number of healthy bodies, Kiffin said there is simply no other way to conduct things. He said final details of scoring will be figured out on Friday. The team will not stay in a hotel on Friday night -- that is something which had been done on occasion to get the players used to a game routine.
"I think the offensive line is starting to mesh." -- Lane Kiffin

Court: Certain religious employees can't sue for job bias
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that certain employees of church-run schools and other religious organizations cannot sue for job bias. The unanimous decision stresses the need of religious groups to carry out their mission without government interference.
In one of the most important church-state cases in years, the justices recognized a "ministerial exception" to federal protections against job discrimination, a stance that had been adopted by several lower federal courts.
Wednesday's decision did not fully define who would be covered but suggested that any people connected to the religious mission of the institution, even with minimal related duties, would be covered.
"The interest of society in the enforcement of employment discrimination statutes is undoubtedly important," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court. "But so too is the interest of religious groups in choosing who will preach their beliefs, teach their faith and carry out their mission."
The court sternly rejected the position of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which had argued against any ministerial exception and had backed a Michigan teacher who was diagnosed with narcolepsy but cleared to work. Cheryl Perich had sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act when she lost her job at a Lutheran school.
The Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church said Perich violated church tenets by bringing her grievance to the EEOC rather than using its processes to try to win reinstatement. Hosanna-Tabor argued that her lawsuit should be barred by the First Amendment protection for religion.
In agreeing, Roberts said that when a person who has ministerial duties sues her church for bias, courts must throw out the case. The "First Amendment has struck the balance for us," he said. "The church must be free to choose those who will guide it on its way."
The case had drawn interest from dozens of religious organizations and civil rights groups.
University of Notre Dame law professor Rick Garnett, who had represented several groups siding with Hossana-Tabor, including the National Council of the Churches of Christ, said the decision makes clear that religious organizations may control who should be their teachers and ministers. Garnett said the justices' decision is consistent with what most lower courts had been ruling.
"I don't think it changes things on the ground that much," he said. "It will make the litigation of these cases more efficient. Courts of appeals will be secure in the knowledge that the Supreme Court agrees with them."
Yet University of Washington law professor Eric Schnapper, who had submitted a brief on behalf of the National Employment Lawyers Association, said the decision will not staunch litigation of numerous "borderline" cases, such as whether a choirmaster may be covered. He noted that the decision leaves unanswered questions of religious employer liability in disputes over wage claims, sexual harassment and other personal injuries.
The Constitution's First Amendment prevents government from endorsing religion or prohibiting its free exercise. The case tested whether that required a "ministerial exception" in job discrimination claims and whether the justices would find that teacher Perich, whose duties were mostly secular, was covered.
The Justice Department, on behalf of the EEOC, said Perich's case should be considered a straight employee-employer dilemma, without special consideration because a church was involved.
Flatly rejecting the stance, Roberts wrote, "That result is hard to square with the text of the First Amendment itself, which gives special solicitude to the rights of religious organizations. We cannot accept the remarkable view that the Religion Clauses (of the First Amendment) have nothing to say about a religious organization's freedom to select its own ministers."
He went on to make clear that a ministerial exception to bias laws is not limited to people at the head of a congregation. He looked at an amalgam of factors including that the church held Perich out as a minister and that she had undergone significant religious training and been formally commissioned.
He noted that Perich, a fourth-grade teacher, spent only about 45 minutes of her teaching day on religious duties.
"The issue before us, however, is not one that can be resolved by a stopwatch," Roberts said, stressing that although the amount of time an employee spends on activities may be relevant, the factor cannot be considered in isolation.
Roberts said the justices were expressing no view on whether the exception would prevent other lawsuits, including by employees alleging breach of contract or personal injuries by their employers.
Justices Samuel Alito and Elena Kagan wrote a separate, concurring statement noting that the exception is not controlled by the word "minister." They noted that although Protestant denominations routinely use the term "minister," other religious groups, including Jews, Muslims and Hindus, rarely do.
The exception, Alito wrote, "should apply to any 'employee' who leads a religious organization, conducts worship services or important religious ceremonies or rituals or serves as a messenger or teacher of its faith."

Flock - Organizations
are you set up for success?
A key factor in business' success is it's people. The capacity to which those people are actively engaged will have a bottom line impact on the productivity, efficiency, retention, and profitability of your company. Statistics Canada shows that 60% of employees are disengaged, while 15% are actively disengaged, and only 25% are actively engaged in their jobs. This results in 350 million dollars in lost productivity in North America alone. Aligning people's natural strengths to the roles and responsibilities of their position can turn these statistics around.

Subject: [htdig] Bug in 3.1.4
From: email@example.com
Date: Thu Jan 27 2000 - 08:31:54 PST
I'm testing htdig 3.1.4 in preparation to upgrading from version 3.1.2.
It looks good, but a bug I reported to this list months ago is still
there. No one commented on at the time, so I guess it got overlooked.
A match-all search for "the problem", for example, works as expected:
"the" is a bad word, and pages containing "problem" are found. However,
a search for "The problem" or "THE problem" finds nothing.
I can't believe I'm the only one seeing this.

Owen Wilson Dating Jessica Simpson?!
Owen Wilson and Jessica Simpson. Do you think they would make an ideal couple? The two movie stars have sparked dating rumors with their being spotted having dinner together.
It appears that Owen is over Kate Hudson and is seeking solace in Jess. The twosome reportedly was seen on a date at the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica on Sunday night October 28th.
An onlooker claimed to have seen them having dinner and then took off for Owen's Malibu home. He "couldn't keep his hands off her," the onlooker said. Another source in the know, moreover, added that "They looked cozy, like it was a first date. They both looked kind of nervous. And they were obsessed with not being recognized or photographed. Hotel security was on high alert and they both had escorts when they left."
No comment uttered by both parties nor they camp concerning the dating speculation. Stay close to us to find out if it is true or not.
Owen and Jess met on the set of a Willie Nelson video in Austin, Texas earlier this month. He previously suffered from depression, presumably because of his break up with actress girlfriend Kate Hudson. They were co-stars in the comedy film "You, Me and Dupree,"
Hudson, who just had her divorce to estranged husband Chris Rock, is currently dating actor Dax Shepard.

When compiling for Android with the flag -config=release, it creates an APK with the name: MonkeyGame-debug.apk
Android Release APK - debug name
I noticed this to
I'll look into it, but from memory you can only run debug apps on devices without 'certification' and all that other fun crap,so I probably hardcoded it that way.
For a full release (ie to the public) it does need to be signed correctly. When Eclipse and Monkey sends it to the app it signs a debug certifcate so you can run it - but that shouldnt effect the name of the apk.
In particular:
Before you start building your application in release mode, be aware that you must sign the resulting application package with your private key, and should then align it using the zipalign tool.
The docs strongly imply this applies to ALL apps - ie: ALL release mode apps need to be signed with a private key, whether they run on the simulator or hardware or whatever. I don't have a release mode key myself - any idea where I can get one?
But I don't think this'll make any difference to app performance - when you do a release build, all Monkey debugging stuff is disabled, and I think 'debug Java' will be the same as 'release Java' - ie: you can't disable null object and array index checks in Java anyway.
From what I've heard, you can generate your own release key with one of the developer tools, no need to purchase anything. Keys have an expiration date, but the recommendation I read was to set it for 30 years, that should be enough for pretty much anything.
Supposedly the need for the kerys is that Android uses those to identify the app, so it recognizes the publisher and will permit an in-place update while retaining existing data files belonging to the game.
Without the proper key, a newer version would not have access to the old program's data.
When I was messing around with Libgdx, I looked up about signing apps:
Here is how to sign an Android App:
1. Create a folder called "keytools" and make a folder in that called "keys"
2. Using Eclipse, in Package Explorer window, right click on your project > Android Tools > Exports Unsigned Application Package and save in the keytools folder ("filename.apk")
3. Open command prompt (cmd.exe)
4. Navigate to your keytools folder
5. Type the following:
C:\"Program Files"\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin\keytool -genkey -alias myapp.keystore -keyalg RSA -validity 20000 -keystore keys/myapp.keystore
Then following the questions...
6. Type the following:
C:\"Program Files"\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin\jarsigner -verbose -keystore keys/myapp.keystore -signedjar filename-signed.apk filename.apk myapp.keystore
And make sure to store your private key in a safe place if you intend to ever release an update to the app in the future. :-?
Without it, users will have to uninstall the old version and install the new one manually.
> Here is how to sign an Android App:
Any way to do it without Eclipse?
Be nice to build it into trans somehow.
I didnt know... Google did :P
Step 4: Create unsigned APK
use apkbuilder
apkbuilder ${output.apk.file} -u -z ${packagedresource.file} -f ${dex.file}
apkbuilder ${output.apk.file} -u -z ${packagedresource.file} -f ${dex.file} -rf ${source.dir} -rj ${libraries.dir}
-rf = resources required for compiled source files?
-rj = resources required for jar files
I havent tested this!!
Hi Mark, could you please consider to take a look at getting it setup so that we can get our apps signed from within the monk ide or other so that we can get apps released onto the marketplace without having to setup our projects with the Eclipse work around?
I created yesterday my own companyname.keystore file from the command line only using these instructions: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html, and then I was able to recompile a monkey app with "ant release build.xml" from the command line, which then created automatically the following files:
1) MonkeyGame-release.apk (which was signed and aligned)
2) MonkeyGame-unsigned.apk
3) MonkeyGame-unaligned.apk
Monkey should do this too, when the user has specified the location of his company.keystore file in some monkey config file.
