The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is an institute of health science education and research located in the South Texas Medical Center, the medical district of the U.S. city of San Antonio, Texas. It is a component of the University of Texas System.
The UT Health Science Center is the largest health sciences university in South Texas. The Health Science Center serves San Antonio and all of the 50,000 square miles (130,000 km2) area of Central and South Texas. It extends to campuses in the Texas border communities of Laredo and the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
The Health Science Center has produced more than 28,000 graduates;[3] more than 3,000 students a year train in an environment that involves more than 100 affiliated hospitals, clinics and health care facilities in South Texas. The university offers more than 65 degrees, the large majority of them being graduate and professional degrees, in the biomedical and health sciences fields.
The Health Science Center is home to the Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CTRC) at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, designated a National Cancer Institute Cancer Center. The CTRC's Institute for Drug Development (IDD) is internationally recognized for conducting one of the largest oncology Phase I clinical drug trials programs in the world. Fifteen of the cancer drugs most recently approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration underwent development or testing at the IDD. Other noted programs include: cellular and structural biology, urology, nephrology, transplantation biology, aging and longevity studies, cardiology and research imaging. The Health Science Center publishes a periodic magazine, The Mission.[3]
In 2006, $263 million of facility upgrades were allocated for the campus by the University of Texas System Board of Regents.[4] This included a $150 million 200,000-square-foot (19,000 m2) South Texas Research Facility (designed by architect Rafael Vinoly). The building was dedicated in October 2011.

Future Development[edit]
State Senator Leticia Van de Putte championed the creation of a special advisory group that would research the benefits of a possible merger between the Health Science Center and the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), which is also located on the city's northwest side.[34] In 2010, the special advisory group, headed by Peter Flawn, former president of both UTSA and the University of Texas at Austin, concluded that a merger would not be in the best interest of the two institutitons.[35] Among its key arguments were that both institutions had strong leadership already on a positive trajectory, the merger would be a short-term distraction for UTHSCSA and the benefit to UTSA's national stature would be slight.[35]
The Health Science Center has a public-private partnership that is designed to promote Nobel Laureate-worthy research at the institution.[36] The $300 million project, entitled "The Campaign for the Future of Health", seeks to build new infrastructure with the South Texas Research Facility and the President's Excellence Fund.[37]

One of the most common (by far) reasons I visit my own full profile page though is to quickly get links back to recent questions or answers which have not yet been voted on or accepted. I often complete an answer, move on, and a minute later think of something else to add, I want a quick path back to the question.
Therefore, I would love it if a couple of recent, still unscored questions & answers would show in the popup. I could see limiting it to just 3 or 4, maybe with a total of something like 8 in the entire popup. Like the other reputation changes listed already, they could be limited to the past few days.
Clearly space is an issue on the popup already. Personally I have very little use for the votes cast and favorites there, and would happily trade them for the unscored links.

About Me Stay At Home Parent
See all my reviews
Ok so these my kids played for three hours. These are great indoor and out. The range is great! The channel options ONLY come with these. Compared to the character ones these you pay a low price and serve a huge purpose. This purpose is getting your kids active not playing video games. Winter is coming and your children are going to need some ideas. So here's mine. Get these walkies and have your children pretend they are the police, the ambulance drivers, soldiers, or just a simple game of clue. This product is awesome! So let's play healthy today. Get active.
No more character walkies for me!
Really easy for kids to use. Great range for. Outside and inside play. My kids played for two hours with these. Compared to the character walkie these have a high channels performance.
Awesome walkie talkie for my little girl

These "walkie talkies" are by FAR the best we've tried (and we've tried 8 different kinds). My daughter is almost 5 and wanted some to play with her friends. These are simple to use for her age (and mine!) and are REAL. These will serve two purposes, one for her to play with/me to get in touch with her when she's outside/at friend's house within range. Secondly when we go on family outings (such as amusement parks, fairs, camping, etc). I was amazed at the quality compared to others priced only $5 less. These are small & lightweight making one easy to carry (either in a pocket or on a belt with the attatched clip). They have no static therefore you hear very clearly on them. I'm thrilled that we gave this "walkie talkie" idea one last try and ended up with these. These are keepers!

My granddaughter communicates with a neighborhood friend during those times that they can't go out and when out and about..the one's she previously had were too stadicky so I purchase these for her birthday..I was told these are great grandma and work well.
Better than the Character ones

About Me Working Parent
Much better quality for the same price as the Minnie or Hello Kitty and still a super cute pink color for little girls. I would recommend these for anyone looking for cute girly walkie talkies while still maintaining great quality.

Evening Picnic
The lovely weather prompted us to take a picnic down to the beach last evening (this is Budleigh Salterton in case you're curious). Such a beautiful evening it was too. After eating and throwing pebbles into the sea, we made our way to the nearby park to play as the sun went down (I say 'we' but I mean 'they.' I just waddled around taking pictures!). Perfect.
Have a great weekend!
p.s. My due date is in one month today - - eek!

Hire Heroes event.
Veterans seeking employment may want to visit Central Park Hall Dec. 4 to attend a job fair sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The event, at 4503 E. 21st St., begins at 10am and is open to military spouses as well as military members.
Despite their service, male veterans 18 to 24 sometimes struggle to find jobs, with national statistics pegging the unemployment rate for this group at 29.1 percent in 2011 -- more than 10 percent higher than non-veterans of the same age.
The "Hiring Our Heroes" event requires employers to register at HOH.greatjob.net. Job seekers are also advised to register, though walk-ins will be allowed to attend the event as space allows.
The "Hiring Our Heroes" effort was launched by the chamber in March 2011, according to Sept. 30 report from the organization.
Through September, close to 15,000 veterans have been hired through chamber job fairs, according to the report.
The report also noted that while monthly unemployment rates for veterans have been ticking downward more than 1 million veterans will leave active duty and enter the workforce over the next five years.
Publication Date for Tulsa Novel Set.
Former Tulsan Benjamin Lytal may put his hometown in the national literary spotlight based on buzz about his forthcoming debut novel. Penguin Books, publisher of A Map of Tulsa, has announced a March 26 release date for a book set in the art scene of late-'90s Tulsa.
The plot involves a love story of sorts. On one end is a young man at home from college, Jim Praley, who might be a bit of a loner based on the publisher's description: "He drives the highways. He forces himself to get out of his car and walk into a bar."
The woman he meets, Adrienne Booker, would seem to have a contrasting personality; she's described as "a high-school dropout with a penthouse apartment," someone who "rules Tulsa, in her way."
The story may play out as something of an homage to the city. "Through her eyes, he will rediscover his hometown: its wasted sprawl, the beauty of its late nights, and, at the city's center, the unsleeping light of its skyscrapers," the publisher's note states, going on to describe the novel as "elegiac, graceful, and as much a story about young love as it is a love letter to a classic American city."
The book has already won praise from some well-celebrated authors, including Dinaw Mengestu, author of The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears and winner of a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant." Mengestu heaped high praise on A Map of Tulsa, according to the publisher's notes, describing it as "a glorious and exquisitely crafted work of art, one that poignantly brings to life all the joy and heartbreak of youth with compassion, grace, and wisdom."
Lytal, a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School, has written for the Wall Street Journal, the London Review of Books, the Los Angeles Times and Bookforum, among other publications. He lives in Chicago.

Skype's video had its first live public test… and passed
Skype's Niklas Zennström and board member Tim Draper just finished an hour-long interview from Skype's engineering office to a conference for 200 people at [www.alwayson-network.com](http://www.alwayson-network.com) in
Stanford, California. They used Skype video and their pretty faces were beamed up on two gigantic screens with top video and audio quality. The audience were VERY impressed (not with what they had to say but just seeing them). Super thanks to everyone at Skype team involved in developing video, and setting up the event on both sides (standard PC-s and web cams were used). [See the archived session.](http://www.alwayson-network.com/comments.php?id=11288_0_4_0_C)
This is still an internal testing version, so don't yet ask how or where can you get it and how exactly it looks and works. But as you see, we're getting closer. We've been waiting for this a long time — work on video started more than a year ago, and we've come a long way.

Will the video skype be available for the mac versions as well? And if so, will it be compatible with the iSight web camera?
scottklettke said 8 years ago
I'm hoping for a Mac version of Skype Video (with iSight integration) too. All the current video conferencing (Mac to PC, PC to PC) methods are cumbersome and have trouble with firewalls. A friend and I recently spent an hour setting up Trillian Pro's AIM video calling with iChat/iSight. It was working great in our house (though audio was not as good as Skype), but when my friend was at his hotel, the hotel's firewall prevented it from working. Please release Skype Video ASAP! Thanks!

Just started using Skype a few weeks ago and love it, but what I really want is to see my 2 granddaughters in Apex, NC on video. I am planning on looking at MSN Messenger Video to accomplish that goal. I use Netscape just to spite Microsoft and I don't want to abandon Skype.
Is there a Beta Test version of Skype video we could use to get this process moving?Clyde Wentz

mithooralfchristyalec said 8 years ago
I can hardly wait to be able to use video on Skype. I love this program. Living overseas from family and friends, I have been able to get them all on Skype with few exceptions, and those only because they don't use high-speed. Talking to them on Skype from the other side of the world is as clear as a local telephone call. Video Skype will make it even better, as I am sure your video quality will be as good as your voice technology is compared to any other. I wish I could have video skype now!

I Can't Remember The Last Time... - that I had a proper hug. Or someone to hold my hand. You know, any physical contact at all, really. I'll take the crowded train just to bump into people so I know I'm still actually here. I'd give anything for a hug right now. It's such a...

I'm in a long distance relationship and I miss the sex and cuddles. I wish he would just walk in, move my hair, and softly kiss the back of my neck.

He keeps kissing moving towards my ear gently licking...

I've fallen for a girl recently. She is the sweetest most beautiful girl I've ever met, inside and out. I have been close to her before, even kissed her a couple of times, but there is nothing I'd like more than to just get on my knees and eat her out for hours. I don't want...

I need that emotional and physical intimacy . I need it . It takes my mind off of everything when I'm in the moment . Physically being touched with someone I care about is like a coping skill to handle and get through life .

GRANVILLE - A Vermont woman arrested in two bank robberies last year in Granville, has been ordered to spend three years in prison.
Jill Ludwig is one of two people arrested in the robberies at the TD Bank on Main Street in Granville last fall.
Ludwig pleaded guilty in September.
In addition to three years in prison, she's ordered to pay nearly $22,000 in restitution.
She blamed her actions on a heroin addiction.
The other suspect in this case, John Maynard is scheduled to be sentenced later this month.

The imaginary unit i
Introduction to i and imaginary numbers Introduction to i and imaginary numbers
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- In this video, I want to introduce you to the number i,
- which is sometimes called the imaginary, imaginary unit
- What you're gonna see here, and it might be a little bit difficult,
- to fully appreciate, is that its a more bizzare number than
- some of the other wacky numbers we learn in mathematics,
- like pi, or e. And its more bizzare because it doesnt have a tangible value
- in the sense that we normally, or are used to defining numbers.
- "i" is defined as the number whose square is equal to negative 1.
- This is the definition of "i", and it leads to all sorts of interesting things.
- Now some places you will see "i" defined this way;
- "i" as being equal to the principle square root of negative one.
- I want to just point out to you that this is not wrong, it might make sense to you,
- you know something squared is negative one, then maybe
- its the principle square root of negative one.
- And so these seem to be almost the same statement,
- but I just want to make you a little bit careful, when you do this
- some people will even go so far as to say this is wrong,
- and it actually turns out that they are wrong to say that this is wrong.
- But, when you do this you have to be a little bit careful about what it means
- to take a principle square root of a negative number, and it being defined
- for imaginary, and we'll learn in the future, complex numbers.
- But for your understanding right now, you dont have to differentiate them,
- you don't have to split hairs between any of these definitions.
- Now with this definition, let us think about what these different powers of "i" are.
- because you can imagine, if something squared is negative one,
- if I take it to all sorts of powers, maybe that will give us weird things.
- And what we'll see is that the powers of "i" are kind of neat,
- because they kind of cycle, where they do cycle, through a whole set of values.
- So I could start with, lets start with "i" to the zeroth power.
- And so you might say, anything to the zeroth power is one,
- so "i" to the zeroth power is one, and that is true.
- And you could actually derive that even from this definition,
- but this is pretty straight forward; anything to the zeroth power, including "i" is one.
- Then you say, ok, what is "i" to the first power,
- well anything to the first power is just that number times itself once.
- So that's justgoing to be "i".
- Really by the definition of what it means to take an exponent,
- so that completely makes sense.
- And then you have "i" to the second power.
- "i" to the second power, well by definition,
- "i" to the second power is equal to negative one.
- Lets try "i" to the third power ill do this in a color i haven't used.
- "i" to the third power, well that's going to be "i" to the second power times "i"
- And we know that "i" to the second power is negative one,
- so its negative one times "i" let me make that clear.
- This is the same thing as this, which is the same thing as that,
- "i" squared is negative one.
- So you multiply it out, negative one times "i" equals negative "i".
- Now what happens when you take "i" to the fourth power,
- I'll do it up here. "i" to the fourth power.
- Well once again this is going to be "i" times "i" to the third power.
- So that's "i" times "i" to the third power. "i" times "i" to the third power
- Well what was "i" to the third power? "i" to the third power was negative "i"
- This over here is negative "i". And so "i" times "i" would get negative one,
- but you have a negative out here, so its "i" times "i" is negative one,
- and you have a negative, that gives you positive one.
- Let me write it out. This is the same thing
- as, so this is "i" times negative "i", which is the same thing as
- negative one times, remember multiplication is commutative,
- if you're multiplying a bunch of numbers you can just switch the order.
- This is the same thing as negative one times "i" times "i".
- "i" times "i", by definition, is negative one.
- Negative one times negative one is equal to positive one.
- So "i" to the fourth is the same thing as "i" to the zeroth power.
- Now lets try "i" to the fifth.
- "i" to the fifth power. Well that's just going to be "i" to to the fourth
- times "i". And we know what "i" to the fourth is. It is one.
- So its one times "i", or it is one times "i",
- or it is just "i" again. So once again it is exactly the same thing
- as "i" to the first power.
- Lets try again just to see the pattern keep going.
- Lets try "i" to the seventh power.
- Sorry, "i" to the sixth power.
- Well that's "i" times "i" to the fifth power, that's "i" times "i" to the fifth,
- "i" to the fifth we already established as just "i",
- so its "i" times "i", it is equal to, by definition,"i" times "i" is negative one.
- And then lets finish off, well we could keep going on this way
- We can keep putting high and higher powers of "i" here.
- An we'll see that it keeps cycling back.
- In the next video I'll teach you how taking an arbitrarily high power of "i",
- how you can figure out what that's going to be.
- But lets just verify that this cycle keeps going.
- "i" to the seventh power is equal to "i" times "i" to the sixth power.
- "i" to the sixth power is negative one. "i" times negative one is negative "i".
- And if you take "i" to the eighth, once again it'll be one,

BMW's four-cylinder K-bikes all receive a new larger 1293cc engine (from the previous 1157cc), with the 136cc displacement boost achieved via a 1mm bore increase and additional 5.3mm stroke. Connecting rods that are nine grams lighter work with 12-gram-lighter pistons and revised cam timing to give an extra 8.0 horsepower (for a claimed total of 175 at the crank) at 9250 rpm-1000 rpm lower than the 1200-and 7.4 ft-lb more torque (now 103 ft-lb) over the old engine. Also assisting in this area is a redesigned exhaust system utilizing a significantly shorter muffler and an exhaust valve in the collector; weight for the stainless steel unit has dropped from 22.9 pounds to 20.7 pounds, complete with catalytic converter.
Interesting options include the same power-shifter and 2D instrument cluster setup found on the HP2 boxer twin, and an "anti-spin control" system integrated into the standard ABS setup.
The K-bikes' Duolever front suspension gets a new lower longitudinal arm made from forged aluminum alloy that replaces the previous steel unit (reducing unsprung weight by 2.2 pounds), while the upper fork bridge also saves weight with a new hollowed-out design. A slightly redesigned wheel carrier and pivot point sharpens handling while incrementally increasing wheelbase. Spring and damping rates both front and rear have been firmed up, and the optional new electronically adjustable ESA II suspension system now not only can adjust damping and spring preload, but spring rate as well. By progressively pushing an Elastogran plastic sleeve (that assists the spring during compression) inside the metal spring via a stepper motor, the spring's rate can actually be altered.
The K1300R gains the same engine and suspension upgrades as the S model, with peak power incrementally down at 173 horsepower but identical torque figures. A shorter final drive ratio (2.91 versus 2.82) should result in quicker acceleration, however. While the K1200R had slightly steeper (more agile) steering geometry than its K1200S cousin, the K1300R has identical steering numbers to the K1300S. Most of the same performance options such as the power-shifter, ESA II electronic suspension system, 2D instrument cluster and anti-spin traction control are available for the K1300R as well.
The K1300GT's powerplant is basically the same as the R and S models with engine tuning biased more toward low-end torque. Horsepower is rated at 160 at the crank, with torque measuring 99 ft-lb at 8000 rpm; there is said to be significantly more torque at lower rpm levels, with 80 percent of the engine's maximum torque available from 3500 rpm. The shift lever now runs in special anti-friction bearings for faster and more precise gearchanges, and the fairing has undergone some subtle modifications, including new integrated tipover protectors. Steering geometry numbers remain the same more-relaxed setup from the previous K1200GT, but the new Duolever aluminum control arm gets fitted to the GT as well. The latest ESA II electronic suspension adjustment is likewise available on the GT as an option.
But one of the most important improvements to the K series BMWs (in our opinion) is the surprising move to conventional turn signal switchgear, with a single conventional push-to-cancel switch on the left handlebar finally replacing the tedious and idiosyncratic multiple-button turn signal switchgear of previous BMWs. Retail prices were unavailable at press time. -KK

PEMBROKE - Four people have filed discrimination complaints against the town of Pembroke.
Kecia McRae filed a complaint with the Robeson County chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on Sept. 27. Dwayne Hunt and Jennifer Dail followed suit on Oct. 9. Former Police Chief Frank Hernandez also filed a complaint this week.
All have filed similar complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Town Manager Oryan Lowery referred all questions about the complaints to Wilmington lawyer Benton Toups.
Toups said he was hired this week and has only reviewed the EEOC complaints.
"I haven't had a chance to thoroughly investigate or review the evidence," Toups said. "But from what I have seen I don't see anything that points to any illegal discrimination."
McRae, of Red Springs, said she wasn't hired as a police dispatcher because she is black.
During an interview on Aug. 29, Lowery twice refused to shake her hand, according to the complaint. She was told to wait for a call before reporting for duty on Sept. 3, but no call came, McRae said in the complaint.
"I didn't understand if you say I have the job, why don't my phone calls get returned," McRae's complaint said. "I was informed that the color of my skin was the reason."
Dial, of Lumberton, said she was demoted from her position as director of communications because she is a woman and was "retaliated against for wanting to hire an African American female (Kecia McRae)," according to her complaint. Dial had held the position for nearly three years when she was demoted.
Hunt, the town's assistant police chief, said in his complaint that he was passed over for police chief because he filed a complaint against a city councilman.
Hunt, a 24-year veteran of the Police Department, served as the assistant chief under Hernandez, who retired in June. Detective Sebastian Veneziano was named interim chief, and, in September, police Sgt. Grant Florita took over that position. The town has not named a permanent chief.
Renea Stackhouse, president of the Robeson County branch of the NAACP, said her organization received a complaint from former Police Chief Frank Hernandez, but it has not investigated.
Stackhouse said the chapter will continue to collect evidence and present its findings to its state counterpart.

JORDAN, it has been a full ten years since the prequels began and I think it's high time Star Wars 'purists' got over Hayden Christensen being added in on the third film by George Lucas. It you are an adult, adults learn to move on, forgive and forget or we learn to be tolerant of another person's views. These type of articles are harmful, distructive and injurious to Hayden and his career, especially since it was never his decision to have his image replace the original. It is such a childish view especially since the great majority of Star Wars fans did not care about the image either way. It was obvious to the majority of Star War fans also, that it was Lucas's story and no one elses...not YOURS and not mine. It was certainly within his realm of authority to have it acted, directed and "imaged" any way he wanted. Personally, I love ALL the Star Wars movies and am grateful to have been exposed to such wonderfully written stories!!! It gave us ALL rich and wonderful new insights and imaginations and inspired us throughout much of our life journey. So, please, give Hayden Christensen some latitude or leeway, he's worked very hard in his career and has put out some outstanding work (Life As A House, Shattered Glass, Jumper, Takers). Now that he's turned 30 in April, he will 'hit his stride' and truly come into his own within his career. I can't wait to see his up-coming performances, giving us new and varied characterizations on the big screen

Woman accused of £2.5m Lloyds scam
10:53am Friday 25th May 2012 in National News © Press Association 2013
A former security chief at Lloyds Banking Group is to be prosecuted over an alleged £2.5 million fraud.
Jessica Harper is accused of carrying out the scam while working as head of fraud and security for digital banking, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
The false invoices totalling £2,463,750 do not relate to her personal expenses, a source said.
Harper will appear before magistrates next week accused of one count of fraud by abuse of position between 2008 and 2011.
Andrew Penhale, of the CPS Central Fraud Group, said he had authorised Scotland Yard to charge her.
He said: "The charge relates to an allegation that between 1 September 2008 and 21 December 2011, Jessica Harper dishonestly and with the intention of making a gain for herself, abused her position as an employee of Lloyds Banking Group, in which she was expected to safeguard the financial interests of Lloyds Banking Group, by submitting false invoices to claim payments totalling £2,463,750.88, to which she was not entitled.
"This decision to prosecute was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors. We have determined that there is a realistic prospect of conviction and a prosecution is in the public interest."
She will appear before Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
Mr Penhale said: "Jessica Harper now stands charged with a criminal offence and has the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that nothing should be reported which could prejudice this trial."
Lloyds Banking Group is now 39.7% state-owned after being bailed out by the Government in the throes of the financial crisis. The lender refused to comment on the charging decision against Harper. A Scotland Yard spokesman confirmed she was arrested on December 21 by officers from the the force's fraud squad.

A bacterial protein in common house dust may make allergic responses to indoor allergens more severe, according to research conducted by the National Institutes of Health and Duke University.
The result of this research is the first documentation of the protein flagellin in house dust, which bolsters the link between allergic asthma and the environment. According to the study, mice responded to flagellin after inhaling house dust. Symptoms caused by the dust inhalation resulted in allergic asthma, including more mucus production, airway inflammation, and airway obstruction.
Researchers also determined that people who suffer from asthma have higher levels of antibodies against flagellin in their blood than non-asthmatic subjects. These findings provide more evidence of the link between environmental factors and allergic asthma in humans.

Its cheaper, you get more servings, and it taste really good. As far as recovery goes, it seems to be making a difference, I've been doing 2-a-days for the last 3 weeks trying to put on some extra mass before a show in June, and I've felt fresh every time I step in the gym.

Here in Appleton, WI we have Funset Boulevard, roughly 10,000 sq ft of newer games with some classics, pin, and redemption games, laser tag, bumper cars, etc. It is attached to a movie theater.
For older games I hit up JJ's Laundromat, I'm guessing it's a dude's collection since they have ST:TNG pin, Data East Star Wars pin, Raiden 1 and 2, Pac man, some 'Classics' compilation cabs, turbo outrun, etc. Not an arcade per se, but more games than any of the other places around here.
If anyone knows of a decent place up in Green Bay maybe you could post it? It's a bigger city so it SHOULD have an arcade..

1 splash grenadine syrup
So good...with my substitutions! I didn't want to buy so many different bottles of liquor, so I bought rasberry vodka to combine the vodka and schnapps. Also, I used limeade instead of sweet and sour (can't stand s&s) and lime juice. It was perfect...not too sweet or sour. Yum!
If I could give this more than five stars, I would. This is very good, perfect blend of sweet and tart. I made one last night and enjoyed it so much that I turned around and made another. NOTE: I didn't mix mine in a glass as directed, I used my martini shaker.

This was a hit at our Christmas party. I could not find raspberry schnapps, so I used Island Punch Pucker. I made a large container of it...YUM! I also added a little green food coloring. Very sweet, but very good!
This drink is too sweet. I tried a pitcher of these for a ghouls-nite-out. The first couple sips tasted like grape soda, but by the end of the glass, I was not wanting a second. The others obviously agreed, because the pitcher didn't get finished & I ended up tossing it. I am considering doubling the alcohol only & using it for shooters @ our big Halloween bash.
Too sweet for my taste too. Glad I made a self serving before making for the party

In this last part of the Picture Gallery blog series, we will discuss how the app handles errors and how RadControls for Windows Phone improved the development experience. In case you missed the previous two posts, they can be found here and here.
Handling exceptions No application is complete without proper error handling. To be robust the application should handle the expected exceptions in a meaningful way or crash noisily when an unexpected error occurs. In the Picture Gallery app there are a few situations that should be expected. The first and most important condition that we need to verify on app startup is whether...
