Just watched this concert on youtube-absolutely brilliant! Fantastic! Wish I had been there!
I must say I have been surprised by you talent as you always do but somehow different. I have not gone more than a show of you the only was three years ago in 2009 in Mexico, I was quite special because it was the first of you and because you sang songs that meant a lot to me many times in my life, still do, but now they do it with a touch of distant nostalgia. Watching this show today was like going back to 2009 with crystal ball when Tom came to the public and could touch him that memory still makes my heart beat so fast even now after three years, I'll tell you then I do not know if Jesse would remain in keane or not but I was pleased that he will also be part of my life at that time, I remember that year my mom and my sister they gave me my perfect symmetry for Christmas one of the memories that mean so much to me. Watching you now singing She Has No Time with the logo of strangeland and Jesse is a perfect blend of everything all the time there in one spirit the past, the present and the future shining among white lights. When Tom had his difficult period in 2006 a bad dream to represent to me as return of keane, although it is a sad song in many ways for me was as if he told me "look I'm good now ..." look in 2009 singing that song after worrying about his life so long time was like a hug in those moments when you feel you can do no more. Look at you guys now sing that song with white lights and the Sovereign Light Café is a combination of indescribable feelings, Richard's face looking like if he knows to everyone in the place, Tim magical fingers and always beautiful piano, tom voice rising to the skies and Jesse my dear bassist it seems to that it has always been like this: always perfect. as you know I'm not you´re biggest fan, I don´t have days and hours commenting, there are many things that I look but I cannot comment and I'm never the first to be here because I can´t but you must know that over all the things I love you, to I thank you for your time and I hope that when you return to Mexico to we meet again in a concert magic as this concert of tonight. Just now I like to know I like to feel that which we coincide on a few hours here, me at home, you in Austin but somehow we were all in the same place. I love you much and I wish you always the best.
What a wonderful experience! Viva a Internet! OMG Tommy is singing...Beijos, Regina.

ISA, from Brasil, Sao Paulo *** Some minutes ago I was listening to Strangeland (and also Dave Brubeck, who died this week... great, great jazz man!) and I am here just to say, thanks for sharing this news, great news, indeed for North-american people. Thank you! Lots of love! XXXX

You are Adorable! even very far you share with us this magic moment !!!Thank you I LOVE YOU
Grazie di cuore Km, questa è una fantastica notizia, sono contentissima! Sabrina from Catania, Sicily!
USA and Europe fans are very lucky. You play more often and closer to them. In Latin America we have to wait for years and buy our tickets very quickly because they sell out. In my case, I have to travel for more than 800 miles. It's very nice of you to make the wait easier with live blogs and streams. Thank you very much for that. Once again I'll be seeing you from my computer, hoping next time I can see you directly :)
Ohhhh! I'm crossin' my fingers and legs that someone with a golden heart would record this and share that video with everybody here in Europe. I'm already missing KEANE!!!!
Great! Well..I will probably watch the stream just crying for not being in Texas in January. I miss you!!! Thanks for the opportunity to see the band anyway. I wish you all (band, crew and km staff) a wonderful holiday season. Love. Simona
Hola!!! Soy de México, y entre en el enlace para ver el concierto ke emiten hoy (Neon Trees) y no lo puedo creer, la calidad es increíble, no puedo esperar a ver a Keane!! Es como estar ahi, de verdad me impresionó, Contaré los días hasta el concierto del 17 de Abril, INCREIBLE!!! prueben ustedes entrar a ver ke tal les funciona, yo estoy feliz ...
@Dra_House Hola, yo creo que lo dicen porque los conciertos en Europa han acabado, y por eso dicen aquello de que los fans europeos podrán ver un concierto en directo (y pensábamos que íbamos a estar mucho tiempo sin verlos). En Enero toca la gira Americana, y en Abril irán para Perú y Chile, si no recuerdo mal (y supongo que ya que están, ampliarán más la gira); por eso no mete a Latino America, porque vuestro tour empieza en Abril, entonces les vereis en unos meses (los europeos ya no sabemos cuando les volveremos a ver). El concierto es un stream, a no ser q tengas problemas en tu país con la cadena que lo emite, estoy segura de que lo podrás ver (pincha el enlace y haz la prueba). Espero que te haya servido de ayuda. Besos
Oh, this is great news, as a matter of fact I am feeling kind of nostalgic and already missing Keane...so this does give me a joyful 'perspective' for early 2013...thanks a lot!
So bad it'll be 4am in Belgium when it starts. Plus it's on a school night. :/ I really hope someone will record it for all the people who can't watch it.
Quisiera poder decir que en la vida todo se premia, ahora les tocaba a ustedes, Felicidades, en éste han logrado grandes maravillas,que la vida les premie lo que algunas sembraron, que no sea en vano el timpo y se contemple con gran esmero lo que ya se ha logrdo. =)
This is awesome news! I'm already feeling withdrawal symptoms at the thought of no live shows for a looooooong time! So this is something special to look forward to! Just a point: I clicked on the CBS/Stage-Side-Live link & my virus prevention software has blocked the site & deemed it unsuitable to open!! Anything I/you can do? I'm hoping I will still be able to view the webcast somehow &/or it will be available to watch again on Youtube/Vevo. Thanks km! Ange xx
Fanx guys, I saw u at 02 on Friday night xx love it love it love it xx now I have somethin to look forward to :oD xx from one happy lady in Kent xx
well, no thanks I won´t buy the new Nokia etc..even there are 3 different versions of this commercial. 1st) I´m a woman and not this arrogant man who announce it. So, this commercial doesn´t speak to me & for the moment I´m fine with my mobile I have. Can´t buy me every 2 minutes a new one!!! 2nd) congrats to Keane or CBS whoever made a 10 minutes clip with always repeating the same 22 seconds commercial. My brain feels brainwashed. But 3rd) yay for the live-stream. Hope someone records it as in Europe it´s about in the middle of the night & I probably will sleep as I´ll go the next day to work. 4th) that´s all :)
Great, but.... What about the rest of the world fans?? Will it be available to Latin America fans?
Strangeland está más cercano a los gustos americanos. Tiene bastante aire country aunque no lo parece. A veces necesito recordar Under The Iron Sea para buscar la brutal fuerza que tenia este CD. Tim Rice sabrà explicar que tenía este CD. Para el mejor de los 4. Strangeland guarda un cierto desánimo por lo perdido ó por lo dejado atrás y que no puede ser. Para mí Hopes and Fairs i Under The Iron sea guardan la época de libertad de Tom. Quien pudiera volver atrás y conseguir un Under The Iron Sea con la misma calidad de sonido que Strangeland. Pero cada etapa es cada etapa. Y muy muy a mi pesar, me quedo con Debajo del mar de Hierro. Aquel Nothing in my way es irrepetible. Besos. Marisa. Barcelona.
PLEASE !!! #ArgentinaNeedsKeane

The color is a vibrant violet red. On the nose the wine brings to mind beautiful complex aromas of ripe black fruits and cherries, suffused with nuances of eucalyptus, lavender and clove. Upon entry to the palate the wine is approachable and delicious now, but this full-bodied red will also age gracefully over the next decade.
Owner of one of the finest private wine collections in Israel, L. Recanati is a successful international banker and a member of one of Israel's most prominent families. Prior to making their home in Israel in the early 1900s, Recanati's ancestors had lived for centuries in Italy, one of the world's premier sources of fine wines. Consequently, Italy and the U.S. (where Recanati spent a portion of his student years and met his American-born wife) represent the winery's first two export markets.
Chief winemaker at Recanati is Lewis Pasco, an American-born graduate of the U.C. Davis wine program and an accomplished chef. Formerly a winemaker at Napa Valley's Chimney Rock and for Sonoma's Marimar Torres, Lewis brings to Recanati a devotion to artistry and craftsmanship in winemaking. This dedication, combined with Recanati's state-of-the-art winemaking facility, has led to an impressive line of wines.

"Are You Sexually Active?" A Gay Girl Dealing With Heteronormative Doctors
Over the past few weeks, my schedule has been jammed with a clusterfuck of doctor's appointments in an attempt to solve a stomach issue I've been dealing with for more than three years. I don't typically shy away from doctors – I'm not the type to fear any unexpected diseases or cry over needles – but after a few appointments, I quickly grew tired of the answering the same question: "Are you sexually active?"
The answer is always, "Yes, with women only." The response is always a blush, a stutter. Doctors' hands always get clumsy; they are always unable to function in a coherent manner. Their notes always turn into scribbled gibberish.
I've always felt more painfully awkward …

|Chestnut Cabin in 1956
Chestnut cabin is located near the Hickory Lodge. According to the Camp David Tour site, the Chestnut cabin originally housed the 24-hour telephone switchboard. The staff who operated the switchboard also lived in the cabin. The only other reference I found to Chestnut cabin was in The President is at Camp David. The book describes Chestnut during the Ford Administration as a place you could obtain cribs, strollers, and high chairs.
|Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan in 1978
The Red Oak cabin is one of the "VIP guest cabins" along with Birch, Dogwood, and Maple. It was one of the original cabins and was rebuilt in 1973.
During the 1978 Camp David peace negotiations, Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan shared the two-bedroom cabin with three other Israeli officials.
Eucalyptus is the medical cabin / infirmary at Camp David and was built during the Carter administration. It replaced the original camp dispensary which had to be torn down because of structural problems caused by years of moisture damage and termites.
In 1991, President Bush experienced shortness of breath while jogging at Camp David. He was taken to Eucalyptus for an examination where it was discovered he had suffered an atrial fibrillation, which is a rapid irregular heartbeat. He was later flown to the Bethesda Naval Hospital for additional tests. First Lady Barbara Bush describes this incident in her book Barbara Bush: A Memoir.

Does anyone here remember Judz Dwedd?

Does anyone here remember Judz Dwedd?
Yeah. He used to be the person to go to for Jango parts. I haven't seen him around in a while.
Great guy and could fiberglass like a God! I have need seen him in years.
He is a very good friend of mine, like a brother to me. Although he no longer will sell kits or helmets due to a certain member, I have access to his molds and has given me permission to make use of them. I'm not sure if I would so I guess this is would be an interest thread to find out if anyone would be interested. He taught me how to fiberglass five years ago and we work on projects nearly every weekend, usually Halo. Since he knows I'm on a few forums, namely The RPF and The BOTB he told me if I'm interested I could make use of his molds.
I've read the rules and don't think I'm misusing this thread but If I am please let me know so I can correct it. Thanks:)
Please tell him Asok says "Hi"
For what parts do molds exist?
Asok, PM sent:)
- - - Updated - - -
All armor parts exist and I will post up a parts list and prices in the very near future, in it's very own interest thread. I will name the thread "Judz Dwedd Jango armor".
Just a little update, There are no gauntlets in the parts list and the knees come without the missiles.
This is a link to see the parts that will be available, pm me if interested. http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f28/d...cs-fixed-4835/
Color will be different as these are pics from JD's old thread.

As of yesterday Shayne Lamas was still in intensive care after being admitted to the hospital on February 9th. Her husband, Nik Richie wrote a post from the hospital this week which said, still working from the ICU. This has been the toughest week of my life, but my love for Shayne Lamas has grown tremendously. My wife is a true fighter. Her heart gave out on Valentine's Day and we had to start the rehabilitation process all over again."
When I read what he wrote it sounds like Shayne died and had to be resuscitated. Reading further in his post, it also sounds like this was not the first time. He thanked the doctor for saving Shayne's life again. All that is known so far about what happened is that Shayne collapsed in her home and had emergency surgery where she lost the baby she was carrying at 16 weeks. Nine days later she is still in ICU and has apparently died twice. I wonder if anyone will ever share what happened to cause all of this.

Pork Milanese is one of my favorite dishes to make for company. It's a delicious Italian dish that can be paired with a salad, veggies, pasta or all of the above.
For this particular meal, the dish was served with homemade potato gnocchi (dumpling pasta) in a tomato, basil and parmesan sauce.
The gnocchi decided to be difficult but luckily the end result was still a delicious treat.
There are a few shortcuts you can take while preparing Pork Milanese. Use minute or breakfast chops instead of pounding the pork chops into the desired thickness. They are already the desired thickness and it can save time. But if you've had a stressful day you might want to use the recipe's method to relieve stress.
Also, you can purchase Italian bread crumbs if you normally don't have basil and thyme on hand. When I use the Italian variety of bread crumbs, I usually add basil to it as well.
The taste of freshly grated parmesan in this dish is better than the canned shaker-style parmesan. That's one step not to skip.
This dish also is good when plated over some tomato sauce or chutney for an added taste.
While the Pork Milanese always proves to be a simple dish, the gnocchi was difficult this time around.
First, I couldn't find the instruction manual with recipes for the electric pasta making machine. Thanks to modern ingenuity in cooking, a Google search came to the rescue with some instructions for making gnocchi in a pasta machine.
Then, the pasta machine wouldn't cooperate. It mixed the dough well but took forever to extrude the pasta. After about 30 minutes of pasta making with only a handful of gnocchi to show for it, I took the dough out of the machine and just cut the gnocchi by hand. It turned out to be easier to make by hand anyway.
Roll out the dough, slice it into small dumpling-like pieces and press a fork into the top to create little ridges on top. Boil the gnocchi in water until done.
Usually, I serve gnocchi in an alfredo or other cheese sauce, but this time I made a tomato based sauce. Starting with a small can of plain tomato sauce, add some dried basil and a lot of shredded parmesan cheese until it reaches the desired taste. Heat the mixture on the stove until cooked.
Divertiti! (Enjoy!)

Pork Milanese
(Can be made with veal as well)
½ cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs, beaten to blend
1 ¼ cups plain dried bread crumbs
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 8-ounce center-cut pork loin chops (each about one inch thick)
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Place the flour in a wide, shallow bowl. Place the eggs in another wide, shallow bowl. Mix the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, basil and thyme in a third wide, shallow bowl.
Using a meat mallet, pound the pork chops on the work surface until they are ¼ inch thick. Sprinkle the pork chops with one teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Working with one pork chop at a time, dredge the chops in the flour to coat lightly, then dip the chops into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess egg to drip off. Finally, coat the pork chops with the breadcrumb mixture pressing gently to adhere. Set the pork chops in a single layer on a baking sheet. (The pork chops can be prepared up to this point four hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate if needed)
Preheat oven to 150 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a rack to warm chops after cooking.
In a large, heavy sauté pan with high sides, melt the butter in the oil over medium heat until hot. Carefully place two pork chops in the oil mixture and cook until light golden brown, about three minutes per side. Transfer the chops to the baking sheet and sprinkle with more salt to taste. Keep the cooked chops warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining two chops.
Place one pork chop on each of four dinner places and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Recipe from "Everyday Italian" by Giada De Laurentiis
Electric Pasta Maker Gnocchi (using instant potatoes)
1 cup flour
1 cup instant mashed potatoes
1 tablespoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoon melted butter or oil
Mix dry ingredients in machine. Add egg, butter and hot water or hot milk to fill batch line to dry ingredients. Might need to add more hot liquid, one teaspoon at a time, depending on humidity. If necessary, return the first few inches extruded back into the mixing bin until pasta is coming out fairly smooth.
Cut into 1 inch pieces. Because this is a thicker pasta (dumpling) it will take longer to cook. Cook in six quarts of boiling water. Test for firmness (about five minutes).

Madrid architecture student Rafael Gonzalez del Castillo says he was devastated when he first found out he wouldn't be able to graduate on time. But after considering his post-graduate employment prospects, staying in school didn't seem all that bad, he told the Associated Press.
Castillo, 24, is one of five European students the AP is tracking for one year for its special report, "Class of 2012." The report will keep up with the twenty-somethings as they graduate and head into what the AP calls "the worst economic crisis Europe has seen since the end of World War II."
In a webcam interview earlier this month, Castillo said he has to start over with his final project. "But it doesn't matter," Castillo says, "because with the crisis and the economic news with the government, we don't have any good job [sic] to find when we are done with university." Maybe he'll go abroad, he says.
"I see myself working abroad, at least for a couple of years," he said in another video. After spending the last five years studying to become an architect, Castillo says the one thing he wants to avoid is taking a job in a bar or supermarket just to get by.
On this side of the Atlantic, job prospects for architecture students don't look much better. In June, Amanda Hess visited the University of California-Los Angeles and found the students on the brink of graduation there were just as frustrated as Castillo. Rising tuition prices and unemployment rates are leaving architecture students at UCLA—and seemingly worldwide—frustrated and out of work.
Castillo, who expected to graduate in October, now hopes to finish by the end of the year after fixing his final project, a design for a riverside greenhouse and terraced farmland.

This course is iPad compatible. Discrimination can be subtle, overt, and often unintentional. As a real estate professional in the District of Columbia, it's important that you avoid discrimination in order to build lasting relationships with customers and clients. To do this you must be aware of and compliant with the Fair Housing laws, which vary from state to state. In the District of Columbia there are specific Fair Housing laws that govern housing discrimination and must be adhered to by all practicing real estate professionals. The majority of these laws fall under the D.C. Human Rights Act of 1977. The D.C. Human Rights Act is one of the strongest and most comprehensive civil rights laws in the country. It is of particular importance for real estate professionals because it highlights the rights of the protected classes and outlines prohibited discriminatory behavior. Under the Human Rights Act, traits ranging from gender and sexuality to race and religion are protected classes. Real estate professionals must also pay particular attention to the additional protected classes under the Human Rights Act which include age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, family responsibilities, matriculation, political affiliation, genetic information, and source of income. Each one of these areas has its own, unique definition under the Human Rights Act. For example, the area of "sexual orientation" includes male or female homosexuality, heterosexuality and bisexuality, by preference or practice, while the area of "family responsibilities" includes a the state of being, or the potential to become, a contributor to the support of a person or persons in a dependent relationship, irrespective of their number. As a real estate professional, it is your responsibility to adhere to these laws in order for you to offer equal protection to all clients.

This course is iPad compatible. Real estate tax laws have changed quite a bit over the
last few decades, and despite the fact that the current tax laws and exemptions
have been around a while, many real estate agents do not fully understand them.
This course takes a deep dive into the passive loss rules and explains them in
simple terms so that real estate agents, and their clients, can realize all the
benefits they are entitled to under the law.

Real estate is generally a safe profession, but there are dangers that agents are exposed to on occasion. While the number of work related deaths and injuries are relatively low, they are not nonexistent. Female real estate agents are more likely to become victims than men; however, men are not immune to attack.
Think about it: real estate licensees often meet complete strangers by themselves, in vacant properties, at odd hours, with little or no background information on the potential client(s). When you think about it this way, the job can sound dangerous. There are some basic safety protocols real estate professionals can employ in the field. Though your brokerage may have a set of security procedures in place, many brokerages rely on the individual agent to establish their own safety measures.

It begins with a brief history of lead, including historical and modern uses. A discussion follows of the most common sources for lead contamination both inside the home as well as outside the home.
Once a general understanding of lead and its likely sources of exposure is discussed, the course narrows in on the laws surrounding this toxic element, with a particular focus on those of relevance to property managers. Of vital importance is the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule (RRP). As property managers, it is also important to have a basic understanding of the Lead-Safe certification process for firms as well as for individual renovators. Your maintenance staff, your company, or those you hire for repair work may need this certification. If you perform the work, you may need the certification yourself. Specific points of the RRP law and amendments are addressed.
Finally, the course asks you to consider a hypothetical scenario in which a property manager has neglected to follow requirements of various laws and asks you to consider the violations made. Some of the specific health effects associated with lead exposure in children (as well as adults) are described. The course ends with descriptions of the legal responsibilities of the property manager to tenants when leasing or renovating older buildings. Questions you should ask of potential contractors and a variety of resources are described and provided.

Many real estate agents operate in a certain specialty or "niche," and perhaps with a little thought, many more would take the time to discover the benefits of carving out a niche for themselves. When agents market themselves as experts in a certain aspects of the industry, it not only helps the agent, but the client/customer as well. Customers need to know who the most knowledgeable, experienced professional in the area is. If there is an agent who specializes in the topic the customer needs assistance with, it is good for the industry if that customer is made aware of that agent. This course is designed to help agents identify a niche that they may want to specialize in and to be able to market themselves as an expert so that all customers are receiving the best care possible by an experienced expert in the industry.

When I take these mouthwatering ribs to our frequent potlucks at work, they're a hit. I like them basted only with the mildly sweet glaze, but you can serve your favorite barbecue sauce on the side, too. They taste as good reheated as they do right off the grill. -Tamrah Bird, Gaines, Michigan

"I put all the ingredients in a slow cooker instead of marinading & grilling. (I also added in diced onion, bell and jalape?o peppers and celery, with this alternate cooking method.) We were all pleasantly surprised by the combination of flavours. Now I want to try it on the grill as written."


text: Joe you are caught between a rock and a hardplace with this issue. Personally, I would get the gun that you prefer in terms of comfort for shooting. A gun for self defense does not do you any good if the grip isn't just right. Don't settle for something that you aren't totally in love with. I have an XDSC40, it is my first pistol and I LOVE it. That being said, I do sympathize with you on the fact that it is a bit of a pain to decock the gun. I have not shot that particular Beretta, but they do build an extremely nice gun! Good luck with whatever you do decide to get.

I'm a newbie to Xcode and was told this was the book to get. I bought it this past summer and jumped in. I had the latest version of Xcode (6) and did the first lesson. Got several errors and was never able to compile the first lesson because the book is based on Xcode 4. O'Reilly promised an update soon but now it's November and I still can't use the book. I've finally got some time to dive back in but am doing it through the Apple Developer tutorials.

Maybe to complicated for Head First
By hembreed
from LA
About Me Developer, Maker, Sys Admin
Like others have said, to many errors. The examples were based on older versions of Xcode and the iPhone. I sailed through the first half of the book with only a few minor problems. Because the book is aimed at getting one up and going, there was no help when things didn't work. I found I needed other books to solve the problems I was running into trying to get the examples to work. Apparently, iPhone is a moving target and it's hard to keep things up to date. It would still be doable if a good theoretical background were presented. I was able to get stuff going once I referenced other books. It may be that these devices are just not amendable to kind of approach Head First likes to use.
Code samples will not work
By Stewart

About Me Developer
As CA said, there are way to many errors in the book. While early in the book most errors can be easily identified by Xcode errors or warnings, or will not prevent compiler or runtime errors, beginning with Chapter 8, it is impossible to follow along with as you are dealing with Core Data models that don't match. Even getting the latest errata and code updates from Git will not help.Overall it was an OK introduction, but in typical head first fashion the reader is left with very elementary knowledge of iOS programming by repetition but does not have the knowledge or understanding to tackle development head first and there are no references for further studies.With it's elementary approach and depth, and the constant errors, I definitely do not recommend this book to anyone.

Great book, but too many errors
By CA
from UK
I'm an experienced C# developer who is looking to get into iOS development.I started with Programming iOS 4 by Matt Neuburg.That book is very (very) good, but it's too comprehensive for a total beginner.I found it frustrating that I was many chapters into the book before I'd written any code. To coin a phrase, it's like drinking from a fire-hose.I was looking for a more gentle introduction, something to get me started and I'll go back to the other book when I need to dive deeper into a particular subject.The Head First book definitely does that.It gets you writing code from the first chapter and it's comparatively fun.As with other Head First books the style is light hearted.Now for the bad news...I only deal in eBooks these days, so I was a little disappointed that the only electronic format of this book is PDF.Having said that I purchased it anyway. Now for the really bad news...The book is littered with errors, and I mean tons of them.Yes O'Reilly provide an errata link but who wants to spend their day cross-referencing a book they purchased against a list of errors.It's only a PDF, how hard can it be to fix?The errata page only lists a handful of the actual errors, again, who ever actually reports these things?Initially I wondered if the errors were in-fact deliberate mistakes, some are so obvious.I wondered if this was part of the Head First cognitive learning theory.Forcing you to think harder about the subject because you're having to fix the authors mistakes.As the book unfolds though I've reached the conclusion it was simply a rush job with little care or attention to detail.On the whole it is a good book, but it could have been so much better.Sharpen your pencil is a phrase Head First books often use, perhaps they should take their own advice.CA

iPhone development made easy
By Michal Konrad Owsiak

Head First iPhone and iPad Development (second edition) takes you, again, on a great journey across iPhone development related topics. What you get here is a gentle introduction into iOS programming.Book covers most common issues you will definitely face during iPod development. It starts with introduction to XCode (iOS devoted IDE). What's worth mentioning here, it covers XCode version 4 (most recent one). Then it presents how to develop simple "hello world" like application. This way, you can fell what coding for iPhone/iPad is in practice. Apart from that, you will be taught how to use multiple views (very common use case for iPhone applications), how to access data (both via plists and Core Data), how to use tab bars, and some of the iOS frameworks. In general, this is very gentle introduction to iOS related development. And it's written like any other Head Firsts series book. It uses simple language, simple examples and good analogies. This way, you don't have to pretend that you are an expert with the topic before you start to read it.If you are new to iOS and Mac world you will definitely notice that Objective-C is something totally different than Java/C++/C#. Here, Dan provides you with the very basics of the Objective-C. However, these basics are tightly bound to UI related development. You won't get detailed syntax explanation here. If you want to get it, you will have to look somewhere else anyway. This is not that big disadvantage after all. In fact, most of the iOS development related books lack good explanation of Objective-C.I have read Head First iPhone Development (first edition) some time ago. In fact, this had been one of the books I have learned to program iPhone from. I think it was a good choice at that time. I'd recommend it to all the people who are at the very beginning of the journey. If you know something about iPhone development already. It might be that this book will cover topics you already know. In that case, deciding for iOS 4 Programming Cookbook or Concurrent Programming in Mac OS X and iOS might be a better idea for you.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

As with other Head FIrst books, the approach is extremely graphically enhanced and takes the reader through a series of hands-on tutorials. General approach and processes are introduced and grounded through detailed and thorough discussion of real examples of apps worked through in each of the chapter sections. The section on Natural interfaces is a unique and intriguing addition to the discussion - exploring real world UX questions through a discussion format. The complete cycle of user-centered design is demonstrated and promoted including Core Data and the integration of how to plug into the data streams provided as part of the iPhone or iPad hardware suite. Thinking of and using cameras and gps as part of innovative solutions are integral and well-handled as part of the demonstration app in this manual.The crosswords are great. What a useful little way of turning the learning into games. The use of exercises and then walk throughs the solution to these ties up the chapters particularly well and makes for a solid learning solution.This book is aimed at novices to iOS development. However, it does require some basic exposure in the use of Object C, which is beyond the scope of this book. Nonetheless, it approaches the start to finish development of iOS apps and does so in such a lyrically informal and fun way that this is definitely a recommended start for anyone considering getting into this booming area.

Well what can I say. I have looked at quite a few books out there in iPhone development. I must take my hat of to the authors and editors involved in this version of the book. My knowledge of Objective C is minimal. Although through reading quite a few books and trying different tutorials I have started to pick things up.I am from a basic background old school and never did C, C++ or Java, but i knew enough to know that variables and the like were universal. This book is aimed at the novice and works well at explaining what to do and the reasoning behind it.Anyone starting out on iPhone and iPad development will find this book is what they need. After this, you will only need to use what Apple provide for free, no need to buy other books or tutorials. It is an excellent ground work book, thanks.Tony Ward.

I've been waiting months for this day. Three months to be exact. You see, today is the first day of spring.
And even though it snowed again last night, I'm not going to shovel. I've shoveled for three months. And today I am being lazy.
And that's exactly what Dell is counting on with their press release on new PowerEdge R300 and T300 servers this week. In the release, Dell makes several SPEC benchmark performance claims. The footnotes for these claims tell you to go to the SPEC website to see any data. Which means you need to actually figure out which systems, configurations, and which data they are referring to and do your own compare. How many of us actually have the time and the inclination to do this ? And that is exactly what Dell is betting on.
If you do the homework, you see that in many cases Dell compares their new results with other vendor's results from over a year ago with older technology. So in this case, it pays not to be lazy.
In my case, I'm excusing my laziness. Because eventually it will melt.

Arsenal in the Community, along with other partners in Islington, has signed a pledge entitled 'Time to Change,' England's most ambitious programme led by mental health charities, Mind and Rethink to end discrimination faced by people who experience mental health problems.
In collaboration with Time to Change, Arsenal in the Community has embarked upon a two-year programme entitled "How are you feeling today?" funded by the Premier League and Sport Relief which aims to improve social inclusion and wellbeing for people with mental heath problems, in the Club's local area as well as tackling discrimination and stigma. 16 Premier League Club community schemes are running similar programmes called 'Imagine Your Goals' which will be evaluated by the Institute of Psychiatry at Kings College London.
Alan Sefton, Head of Arsenal in the Community said: "Using football as a way to engage people suffering from mental health issues means that they have a chance improve their physical wellbeing and potentially their quality of life through meeting others with similar experiences. Arsenal in the Community is proud to be part of this campaign which inspires people to work together to end the discrimination surrounding mental health."
Arsenal in the Community football sessions take place twice a week and are for service users at Islington Mind and the Camden and Islington Foundation Trust. Arsenal in the Community is working in partnership with NHS Islington. The project also supports and empowers participants to find employment and volunteering opportunities and offers training, including formal coaching qualifications. Participants have already played in a match against Waltham Forest's 'Coping Through Football' project and reached the plate final of a tournament organised by the Positive Mental Attitude League. As part of the Club's commitment to the campaign, Arsenal in the Community also took part in World Mental Health day in 2010.

spotlight show • In between Paramore's 2009 album "Brand New Eyes" and its recently released self-titled album, the pop-rock band from Tennessee lost two of its founding members, including one of its main co-writers. That meant guitarist Taylor York had to step up to write songs with frontwoman Hayley Williams. "It was very intimidating," York said in a recent phone interview. "I never feel like I know what I'm doing. I had written, like, five complete songs before this. But it could have been a strength because I didn't feel like I had to stay in the boxes." York delivered, and "Paramore" is the young band's best creation to date. It's also one of the most dynamic rock albums released so far this year. "We didn't want to be a different band, but we wanted to push ourselves," said York, who doesn't know why he, Williams and bass player Jeremy Davis work so well together. "If people knew, they would be able to manufacture bands," he said. "I'm just grateful."

The Milk Carton Kids
spotlight show • The Southern California folk duo has three albums, but the first two were offered as free downloads only. "It was a big decision for us," said Joey Ryan about selling their songs for the first time. The new album, "The Ash & Clay," has attracted attention for its throwback sound a record with instrumentation out of the Dust Bowl, albeit with better sound quality. The creative relationship between Ryan and his bandmate Kenneth Pattengale has evolved over the years "from fast friends to brothers to a married couple in all the positive and negative ways," he said. "We bicker like an old married couple." One example is when Ryan, Pattengale and Ryan's wife were in the midst of a long van ride and Ryan and Pattengale engaged in a 45-minute argument about windmills. "My wife was with us and she almost jumped out of the window and it was a moving vehicle." For all their arguing, the musicians always remember their roots. "We spent time on the porch learning to play together," Ryan said. "That's where we came together. It's the spiritual home of the band." The Barefoot Movement opens.

Violence in Baltimore Evidence of Transphobic Culture
(Warning: The following video link shows real and brutal violence.)
This video, which surfaced on the internet yesterday morning, shows a transgender woman being beaten by two female customers at a McDonald's restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland. The two young women appear to have attacked the woman after realizing she was transgender, brutally and violently kicking and hitting her as she curls into a ball on the ground. The physical violence, which eventually caused the woman to suffer a seizure on the floor of the same McDonald's, is only a piece of the injustice. Out of the employees and fellow customers in the store, only two feebly attempt to help the woman. The others stand by, cheering on the two attackers and filming the whole …

Barack Obama's Hawaii
"You can't really understand Barack until you understand Hawaii." ~ Michelle Obama
Hawaii will always be home for President Barack Obama. There can be no doubt that growing up in this idyllic, multicultural setting was a major influence in shaping who Obama is today.
Kamaaina: Local at Heart
The Hawaiian word kamaaina means someone who is native born or who has lived in Hawaii for some time. When Barack Obama returns to Hawaii with his family, he comes as a kamaaina, a local who knows where to go, where to eat and what to do. Here are a few places President Obama has visited on his trips back to Oahu:
Pearl Harbor - Chief historian Daniel A. Martinez gave the Obama family a tour of the USS Arizona Memorial.
Hanauma Bay – Located on the southeast coast of Oahu, this Marine Life Conservation District is Oahu's most popular snorkeling destination. This is also near Sandy Beach, one of President Obama's favorite beaches growing up, as well as the Halona Blowhole, near the area where his mother's ashes were scattered.
Nuuanu Pali Lookout – This scenic spot atop Windward Oahu's peaks was the site of a fierce battle lead by King Kamehameha I.
Golf on Oahu – President Obama has played rounds at Olomana Golf Links and Royal Hawaiian Country Club.
National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl – One of the country's most prominent national cemeteries for the armed forces. President Obama's grandfather is buried here.
Plate lunch – Like most locals, President Obama frequents the restaurants of Kapahulu on the outskirts of Waikiki. He's been known to get a local style plate lunch from the Rainbow Drive-In and the 24-hour Oahu mainstay, Zippy's.
Shave Ice – On a recent visit, President Obama and his daughters cooled off with a shave ice, the local version of a snow cone, at Island Snow in Kailua. Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore is another famous shop and spots like Waiola Shave Ice in Kapahulu are popular with locals.
Spam musubi – During a recent holiday visit, President Obama reportedly bought two spam musubis while enjoying a day of golf at the Olomana Golf Links. A sure sign that President Obama is a true local, Spam musubi is a popular Hawaii snack consisting of a Japanese onigiri, or rice ball, with a slice of cooked spam on it and wrapped with nori, or dried seaweed.

Ohana: Barack Obama's Family
Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961 at the Kapiolani Hospital for Women & Children in the city of Honolulu on the island of Oahu. Honolulu is home to the majority of Hawaii's diverse population and it was here at the University of Hawaii that Barack's father and mother, Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham, met.
Raised in Hawaii until he was six, Obama spent four years in Indonesia after his mother remarried. Obama returned to Hawaii at age ten to attend the prestigious Punahou School, where Steve Case, co-founder of AOL, and golf phenom Michelle Wie also attended. Far from a Presidential hopeful, Obama played on the state championship basketball team and dreamed of becoming a pro basketball player.
Obama lived with his maternal grandfather and grandmother, Stanley and Madelyn Dunham, a few blocks from school in the neighborhood of Makiki, just ten minutes away from Waikiki. He spent his youth enjoying picnics at the scenic Puu Ualakaa State Park near his home and Kapiolani Park in Waikiki as well as body surfing at Sandy Beach on the eastern tip of Oahu. He even worked at a Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream on South King Street that still exists today.
Obama continued on to Columbia and Harvard Law but made frequent visits back to see his ohana, or family, in Hawaii. His mother, who earned a Ph.D. in anthropology at the University of Hawaii, died of cancer in 1995. Obama's grandmother "Toot," short for tutu (Hawaiian for grandmother), passed away in Hawaii just two days before Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States.
Aloha: The Spirit of Obama
Beyond Hawaii's natural beauty, the islands are a place of incredible diversity. Dating back to plantation days, Hawaii has been home to a multicultural mix of people. It is this culture of acceptance and aloha that has had a profound affect on Barack Obama and will continue to influence him in the future.
"What's best in me, and what's best in my message, is consistent with the tradition of Hawaii." ~ Barack Obama

Coulter on the issue of AIDS: Hollywood "got caught with its pants down" and "got it right in the end"
In her March 8 syndicated column, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter wrote that Hollywood "got caught with its pants down" on the issue of AIDS and "got it right in the end."
In her March 8 nationally syndicated column [1], right-wing pundit Ann Coulter [2] took issue with actor George Clooney's remark that those in the film industry "talked about AIDS when it was just being whispered." Coulter wrote that Hollywood actually "got caught with its pants down" on the issue of AIDS and "got it right in the end." Coulter then noted that she should "hire two more interns to screen hate mail." The column was picked up by Yahoo News [3], Jewish World Review [4] and David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com [5].
Clooney made the remark on March 5 during an acceptance speech at the 78th annual Academy Awards [6]. In response, Coulter commented that AIDS "is something you'd expect people like Clooney to know something about" and claimed that Hollywood was in fact "seven years behind" on the issue. As evidence, she noted that attendees "didn't start wearing AIDS ribbons to the Oscars until 1992."
From Coulter's March 8 column, "It's hard out here for a wimp [1]":
George Clooney made the only stand for liberal Hollywood, smugly declaring:
"We are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while. I think it's probably a good thing. We're the ones who talked about AIDS when it was just being whispered, and we talked about civil rights when it wasn't really popular. ... (T)his group of people gave Hattie McDaniel an Oscar in 1939 when blacks were still sitting in the backs of theaters. I'm proud ... to be part of this community, and proud to be out of touch."
Forget about Hollywood being ahead of the big issues: Hollywood has never even been on time for the big issues. This is why, for example, in the middle of an epic war with Islamic fascists, Hollywood is still making movies about the Nazis. Now and then, just for variety, they tackle a more current topic, like the Jim Crow era.
Even on AIDS -- which is something you'd expect people like Clooney to know something about -- Hollywood was about seven years behind. Wait, no -- bad choice of words. Even on AIDS, Hollywood got caught with its pants down. Still no good. On AIDS, Hollywood got it right in the end. Oh, dear ... Note to self: Must hire two more interns to screen hate mail.
The point is: The Hollywood set didn't start wearing AIDS ribbons to the Oscars until 1992: 10 years after The New York Times described AIDS; seven years after AIDS was the cover story on Life magazine; seven years after AIDS was in People magazine; five years after Oprah did a show on AIDS.
