That was the most horrible thing that ever happened to me. Yeah, all fixed now and i hope there won't be any more surprise in the coming days..^^"
Alright, enough of those pipes things. Lets get into food...:) Since i've not much time after all the repairing and cleaning, I still feel like baking or cooking something to please myself. Here it goes, a very simply and easy recipe which I got from the magazine. Its really easy and it only took me 20 minutes to prepare.
It don't just look nice, and it really taste good!
Ingredients for the syrup:
250g Gula Melaka or palm sugar (roughly crushed)
180ml Water
2 tbsps Sugar
5 Pandan leaves, tied into a knot
Ingredients for the rolls:
4 medium eggs
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tbsps evaporated milk
10 slices Bread, crusts removed
10 golden bananas, peeled
~ Put all syrup ingredients in a pot and bring to boil. Lower heat and continue to boil until all the sugars dissolved and syrup turns thick. (about 5 minutes). Strain and keep aside.
~ Beat eggs, salt and milk together in a bowl. Set aside.
~ Place a slice of bread on a board, using a rolling pin, roll the bread slice to half its original thickness.
~ Place a banana on one end of the slice and roll up to encase the fruit.
~ Use a toothpick to secure the bread roll from breaking up.
~ Heat up some oil in the frying pan, dip the roll in the beaten egg mixture and deep fry the banana rolls until golden brown.
~ Drain on absorbent kitchen towels, and remove the toothpicks.
~ Cut into half and drip some prepared sugar syrup onto the rolls before serving.
Crispy outside and soft inside...its really a good snack. I admit that its not quite healthy due to frying and those oil used, but i think once awhile to pampered ourselves with such tasty crispy stuffs are not that bad..;p

Fly lines
Flygoddess brought up an interesting subject in response to StanWright on a different thread and that is the use of various fly lines. While there are so many types available, doubt if many fly fishers would be carrying/or own such an array of fly lines.
For example I have a reel & two spools for ever rod that I own. One spool contains WF & the other ST. That's several hundred dollars in line alone. As a guide no doubt that FGD owns more lines that I can count on all my digits. Lol. Anyhow, how many lines and what type do you have spooled up? And for FGD what would you recommend that the average person should have available?
There is no greater fan of fly fishing than the worm!

e-learning and research
MLM (Multimedia Learning Management) is the IT research and services structure founded by ICT in 1999 to support and circulate the use of elearning platforms. MLM also contributes to the creation of academic multimedia projects of general interest to the University.
MLM makes their IT know-how and competencies available to university programs and SDA Bocconi initiatives.
In addition to the functional characteristics of the elearning infrastructures, it defines the standards for the planning and allocation of multimedia teaching modules, evaluating the Learning Objects' minimal prerequisites.
This structure enhances specific activities by providing support to students and participants by email. It assists academic staff through personalizing training regarding the technological potential of the platforms.
Lastly, it is in charge of the relative activities concerning access to courses.
Test projects in the IT area
MLM test activities are concentrated on the search for innovative technologies and tools to support teaching.
With this objective, tests projects carried out in 2006, in collaboration with other ICT offices and with CINECA (Consorzio Interuniversitario per il Calcolo Automatico dell'Italia Nord Orientale), made it possible to active a multi-videoconference service in 2007.
This service is available to academic staff, non-teaching staff, and University and SDA Bocconi Research Centers to support teaching and research activities, such as distance learning, contact with students abroad, seminars, presentations, meetings and coordination of international projects, and online connections with other universities.
A test regarding the podcasting service applied to lessons, seminars and events is in progress, which takes into consideration the need of being able to widen the communication channels and the continuous evolution of technology. The project includes the evaluation of the necessary infrastructures and its relative costs, in collaboration with the offices that are in charge of the ICT infrastructure and systems.

Brick house Xiotech grows new NAS head
Jerks wheel, swerves wildly off previous road
Storage brick supplier Xiotech has quietly changed strategy and built its own file and block access controller for its ISE storage blades.
The company introduced its ISE (Integrated Storage Element) sealed canister of 2.5-inch drives a couple of years ago, and promoted a message that traditional storage array controllers put too much storage management functionality in the controllers. What should be done was to split it, it said.
The lower parts of the storage stack would go into intelligent drive enclosures, like its own ISE, and the upper parts of the storage stack would go up the IT stack generally and run in servers. Result: an unbundled and controller-less storage array.
Last April's ISE NAS (network-attached storage) product was in keeping with this, pairing ISE storage blades as they are now called with Symantec's FileStore, running effectively as a NAS head on top of the ISEs, with configurations scalable to a 16-node cluster. Now Xiotech is supplying its very own NAS head in the shape of the ISE NAS Controller Node. It has apparently reversed its go-up-the-stack stance regarding storage management software.
Like many other NAS heads, it offers iSCSI block-access storage as well as NFS and CIFS file access, but also offers Fibre Channel access. The hardware is a 1U box containing one or two Intel 5600 processors with either 16 or 48GB of RAM respectively, and running Windows Storage Server 2008 R2. Although Xiotech has signed up to use Permabit's Albireo sub-file-level deduplication, this box only offers file single-instancing.
It supports host connectivity using 8Gbit/s Fibre Channel, 1GbitE and 10GBitE. These controller nodes can be clustered to create what Xiotech terms geographically-dispersed multi-node configurations independent of the storage. No upper cluster node limit is provided.
Sample configurations start with a single node entry system and progress through a 2-node cluster to a pair of two node clusters, a scale-out enterprise set up with more than four nodes and, at the high end, an ISE NAS Cluster Scale-Out configuration with more than four clustered nodes. This is claimed "to provide a scale-out NAS architecture capable of managing unstructured data growth globally".
Xiotech says its new box contains WAN-optimised compression algorithms to make site-to-site file copy and replication use network links efficiently. It provides a global namespace, has Active Directory integration, snapshot and backup services.
You can buy a single ISE as an Emprise 5000 product. The Emprise 7000 is Xiotech's storage controller which is supplied with ISE blades to provide a traditional storage array, superseding Xiotech's previous Magnitude array. The 7000 is a 2U box offering 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel and iSCSI interfaces.
We might have thought that Xiotech could brand the ISE NAS Controller Node as an Emprise something-thousand – Emprise 6000 for example – as it has Fibre Channel, and 8Gbit/s Fibre Channel at that, iSCSI and the NAS access. Given the hardware spec of the ISE NAS Controller Node, we could well hope to see a refreshed Emprise 7000 offering 8Gbit/s Fibre Channel, more processing power – think Jasper Forest – and, some time this year, Permabit-sourced deduplication.
The ISE NAS Controller Node has a five-year warranty, like the ISEs it would be twinned with. UK Xiotech reseller JCOM said the list price for an ISE NAS Controller Node entry-level system, with 19.2TB of capacity, is $199,905. ®

- Commentary
By Cody Willard
2014 already started with quite a bang, as mergers and trading heat up. Feet to fire, I would guess that late January or early February brings out some panic selling over who-knows-what and you'll get your 5%-10% pullback. And think about this right now — it WILL NOT be easy to buy into the next panic sell off.
But in the meantime, drink up, it's another Merger Monday on Wall Street.
Whiskey Merger Monday: Suntory and Beam Ink $13.6 Billion Deal — The Wall Street Journal (Mon 9:51AM EST)
And that leads me right into today's "Trader's Thought of the Day".
What if I told you that at today's prices you could buy Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609/delayed /quotes/nls/fb FB more cheaply than the privately-held Suntory out of Japan is buying Beam /quotes/zigman/6577531/delayed /quotes/nls/beam BEAM , a company that mostly makes and distributes poor tasting, cheap whiskey blends?
Let's do the math and let the numbers speak for themselves.
Including debt, this acquisition is going to cost Suntory about $16 billion.
Japan's Suntory acquires Beam in $16bn deal — Financial Times (Mon 9:53AM EST)
$BEAM is expected to earn about $3.00 next year, which would represent 10% growth from this year, which was itself up about 10% from last year. That means Suntory is paying nearly 30 times next year's earnings for a company growing annual earnings just barely double digits.
Meanwhile, $FB is expected to earn about $2 per share next year, up from about $1.20 this year, which means it's currently trading at 28x next year's earnings.
I would note, that price-to-sales analysis makes Facebook look more expensive than Beam is being sold for today. That is, Beam's revenues, at about $2.5 billion per year, growing about 3%-5% annually, or just a little faster than the broader economy. And Suntory is paying a rather eye-popping 6.4 times forward sales for a company with little competitive advantage in the grand scheme of things.
Facebook, meanwhile, is going to grow sales up from $10 billion this year to closer to $13 billion or so next year, which would be a 30% annual growth rate. At the current quote, you're paying nearly 10 times forward sales for Facebook, which clearly has much higher margins than Beam does.
Facebook's been one of my biggest positions since it dropped into the low $20s and while I sold all my FB call options last year that I held for a long while, I'm still holding a good-sized Facebook common stock position steady for now. All that said, kudos to long-term Beam investors. Facebook investors can, at least at this point, only dream that they are rewarded as well as Beam has rewarded their investors over the long-term.
All signs, including this BEAM acquisition by Suntory and the price it went through at, continue to point to a bubble-blowing bull market all around us. I don't think tapering or even a raising of interest rates back towards normal levels by the Federal Reserve are going to happen in time to stop valuations from continuing to move higher. Be careful though, I don't think history will look back kindly at the price paid by Suntory for a low-margin commodity drink business today.

This bag has been my best investment into bike commuting. I wanted a rear trunk that mounted on top of my Bontrager rear rack so I wouldn't have to mess with the balance issues of a pannier bag. I keep a few essentials(shoes, belt, etc.) at work, and this bag holds my daily clothing plus a small lunch bag without issue. The Interchange attachment works awesome with a solid fit and an easy push-button release, so I can take the whole thing with me to my locker at work without having to detach and reattach Velcro straps of other trunk/rack designs. Also not mentioned in the product description is that it has an attached water resistant fitted rain cover that is nicely hidden away in a small zippered pouch. Both the bag and the rain cover have rear straps to mount rear tail lights. This Deluxe bag works great for me, I considered the base Rear Truck Interchange bag they offer, but I love the expandability of the Deluxe to flex with my commuting storage needs. I did not bite on the Deluxe Plus model which has temporary Panniers built into the side pockets, but in reading the reviews there, it might be worth checking it out if your bike commute usually includes other errands.

Wisconsin business aims to combine bullets, beauty
Beauty and bullets! A Wisconsin woman is combining the two into a brand new business.
Cheryle Rebholz has run the "Faces" beauty salon in Mequon, Wisconsin for nearly 40 years, but is now aiming for a new endeavor with Bear Arms Shooting Range later in the spring. The business logo features a lipstick as a bullet set in crosshairs.
"(We will have) anti-age creams. You'll have grooming creams for beards," she said during a visit to the new space on Tuesday. "And targets, ammo, scopes. They can co-exist."
The idea for the new business came to Rebholz about three years ago after she received her concealed carry permit and bought a gun but was left without a place to practice her firing.
"There was nowhere to go close and convenient," she said. "If it's not close and convenient, I'm not going to be proficient and I need to be because this is serious."
She even went to gun shows to learn more about gun safety, but felt left out.
"A lot of the dealers didn't even approach me. I don't think they took me seriously. I think they thought I was a guest of my husband's just roaming around," she said. "And I'm thinking if I have that problem, other women are."
Rebholz said she wants both men and women to be able to use the space without fear or intimidation.
She's is taking her beauty products from "Faces" and they will be available for purchase at the new shooting range. The building is not much to look at now, but Rebholz has a target date of Memorial Day weekend to open the new business.
"(It will have) the look, the amenities and the sounds and even the smells of a spa," she said.

But we already have plans for the coming year end holidays!! YEAH!! This coming holidays we'll have lots of visitors and trips...woohoo...I've been counting down for them..:D What about you?
Do you notice that almost all shopping complexs have started their X'mas decorations? Oh I love X'mas, just can't wait!
Well, today's bakes...a light and soft Coffee Sponge Cake. I love cakes, but worry about the fats and calories in it. Since I've been craving for it, why not a lighter one to satisfy myself..:)
Not to mention about coffee..that's something I must have everyday. So I just mix and match the sponge with my desire flavour, well its nice..heehee..;p Its soft and fluffy too!
Egg white batter:
6 egg whites
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
80g castor sugar
Coffee batter:
1 tbsp (good quality) instant coffee powder
30ml fresh milk
3 egg yolks
20g castor sugar
20ml cornoil
40g self raising flour
Vanilla batter:
1 tbsp vanilla powder (I used the Coffeebean's)
30ml fresh milk
3 egg yolks
15g castor sugar
20ml cornoil
40g self raising flour
Method for coffee batter:
~ Stir instant coffee powder with milk until melted.
~ Beat the egg yolks and sugar until well mix then add in coffee mixture, follow with oil and flour. Set aside.
Method for Vanilla batter:
~ Stir in vanilla powder with milk until melted.
~ Beat egg yolks with sugar then add in vanilla mixture and follow with oil and flour. Set aside.
Method for egg whites:
~ Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until mixture forms soft peaks.
~ Gradually add in sugar, beating at high speed until stiff peaks form.
~ Divide into 2 portions and fold into the coffee mixture and vanlla mixture respectively.
* Pour a layer of vanilla batter and coffee batter into ungreased pan by sequence. (Iused a tube pan)
* Bake in preheated oven at 170'C for 30 minutes.
* Remove from oven and cool completely before slicing.

Looks very special, almost like a zebra cake!It looks very soft too, yum yum! ;D At one look I thought it's chocolate, but I should know my coffee lover friend would opt for coffee flavor, heehee. Nice nice nice! :))ReplyDelete
Nice and soft! Love coffee-flavoured cakes.ReplyDelete
Looks very soft and spongy, like the layer pattern too.ReplyDelete
Your sponge cake looks very soft and fluffy! I must bookmark this recipe. I love to eat sponge cake because I its lightness had cheated me for adding calories to my body hehe...ReplyDelete
Bee Bee,ReplyDelete
You bet...I can never live without coffee..haha! But I know you'll use chocolate instead..:)
Yea...my favourite is coffee!
This the first time doing the sponge with layers. Was abit stress at first...worry it may sink!!
Kitchen Corner,
Same to me, I like cakes so much but worry the calories...haha! So this definitely satisfied me..:)
Beautiful! Love the swirled flavors!ReplyDelete
can i replace corn oil to butter ??
Hi sherene,ReplyDelete
Yes you may, but butter is more condense compare to cornoil, so the texture may vary.
Hi...can i replace vanilla powder to vanilla essenceReplyDelete
tq :D
Hi Sherene,ReplyDelete
I think Shd be ok with vanilla essence but the taste would be slightly different. Then you may adjust the sugar to 20g because vanilla powder is alittle sweet.

Reputation is a tricky thing. It takes consistent behavior observed over a period of time to build a positive reputation, and a single bad event can crumble what takes months to build.
This holds true for individuals, families, small groups of people, and even large corporations.
Companies spend enormous energy trying to build up their reputation or brand value. Its brand value alone that lets Tylenol charge more for the exact same pill that your local pharmacy sells a generic version for dirt cheap.
A Business Deal
Although I enjoy reading about the economic practices of Goblins, I'm definitely not one myself.
I make my wow-gold by gathering while I'm out and about doing what ever it is that I'm doing. And "what ever it is that i'm doing" is often daily questing, which only further divides my activities from the efficient gold/hour numbers that Goblins are capable of.
However, even I recognize the value of a daily cooldown.
Smelt Titansteel
I should probably be using my Titansteel cooldowns to save up mats to boost my gf with an epic shadow priest mace.
But, I'll deal with that when I get to it, and I'm about 20 blacksmithing points away from needing to worry about that.
In the meantime, there's always somebody willing to pay good money for a cooldown.
One such fella barks on /trade, he and I arrange a get together at the Dalaran forge.
Badda bing, badda boom, he's got his steel, I've got my gold. Smell ya later.
But then a happy moment comes along.
Oh, cool, titanium
The uber gf was out and about doing whatever it is that girls that play wow like to do, and she's a miner, and came across a titanium node and mined it.
Go you!
Wait a tick? I thought titanium required 450 maxed mining. When did you ding that?
This morning
Ah, gratz. Wait another tick? Wanna make some gold? (digital pimpin', ftw)
My happy customer from just moments ago, as it would turn out, is interested in one more Titansteel.
So she scoots back to Dalaran, he trades over the mats.
Like a Bat out of Hell
And what he sees next is....the toon he just traded a hundred or so gold worth of mats with...she bolts like a bat out of hell out into Dalaran.
WTF? or at least that's probably what was going through his head as he trotted off to follow her.
You see, having just dinged 450 that morning, she hadn't trained to smelt titansteel yet. And in a brain fart, rather than just talk to the mining trainer right here, she decided to wander deeper into the city.
So I reassure him what she's up to, so please don't worry.
It was his answer that made the ape-subroutines ingrained in my genes smile....
I'm not worried, I respect your guild. I dont think she'd stiff me.
And she didn't. Two seconds later, she's trained up in steel, he's got his product, she's got her money. Smell ya later.
Sure, we're not talking about world-changing stuff like the brand value of Google or Nike, but the guild's reputation did keep things calm in a situation where the customer might have started crying "NINJA!!!"
Its all about respect, and it looks like we're doing something right.

I just recently got in an order of replacement lines for my 2012 Naish Universal bar. The outside lines are 20m and the grey center lines that attach from the 3 hole ring to the bridles are a mystery and about 10-15ft shorter than the outside lines when laid out. I spoke to a Naish representative and he is working with me but I just wanted to get some feed back about the length of the center lines for 20m outside lines.
Im heading for Barbados next week and id really like to have my 12m ready to go.

This week's 52 Weeks to Better Genealogy Challenge is a little different. Challenge 23 by Amy Coffin is:
Come up with a personal genealogy challenge of your own. Each person has different research goals and experiences. Use this week to come up with your own challenge, and then take the steps to accomplish it. Genealogy bloggers are encouraged to share their ideas and challenge their own readers.
I spent most of the week trying to figure out what my challenge would be. I have already set a lot of challenges for myself this summer. I started going through my bookmarks (that are getting out of control again) and found something from March that I have been meaning to do.
My challenge was to view a few videos from the Family History Library's online research classes.
Randy Seaver wrote about the online classes from the Family History Library in March and then this week he posted an update. I had bookmarked this first post as a reminder to go back and view some of the videos, but I never found the time in the spring. But with the update and a challenge I finally did it.
I had already viewed the English Research Series when it first was released on the site. I had also viewed the videos that FamilySearch had recorded from the Association of Professional Genealogists' Professional Management Conference last September. But lots of new videos were waiting for me to view.
I haven't viewed all of the classes, but I highly recommend two of the online classes available on the site.
The first is Tom Jones' Inferential Genealogy. This video is not just a person talking and slides being shown. This is an interactive lesson where you view records, report your findings, make conclusions, and then hear Tom's results. I hope that more lessons like this one become available. One of the things that people complain about when discussing online classes is the lack of feedback. Although Tom didn't get any feedback while giving the lesson (except from the production crew), the viewer is given the time and resources to learn. This is great for the more advanced researcher.
The second video that I recommend is The Bachelor: Reconstructing a Solitary Life Using Obsure and Far-Flung Records by Mary Penner. This class has two parts: the video of Mary talking and the images of her slides are timed with her lecture. I really like this format more than the standard webinars where you only see the slides and hear the person talking. Being able to see the speaker allows the viewer to pick up so much more.
I'll continue to fill in some downtime with these classes and I hope to see more in the near future. If you can't attend genealogy conferences, these videos will give you a great education and let you see what you might be missing.

gdlima needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 111 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
'Eventus' in latin means Success and the Suffix 'Six' is added to the name since we are six founding members! We like to think that retaining our services will speed our clients time to success! Note that the last two characters are silent (not pronounced) when we introduce ourselves. So we'd say 'EventuS'
EventuSix leverages cutting-edge methods to develop innovative supply chain solutions for a broad range of Industry & Government Clients. Founded in 2009 by six founders, we have over 130 years of supply chain expertise in the high technology industry. Having successfully managed dozens of large scale projects with real value exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars, the EventuSix team has the solution expertise for:
• Large-scale project management & implementation
• Supply Chain optimization
• Green Economy issues & resolutions
• Data mining & automated analysis
Globalization has created increased business complexity and new dynamics that lead to poor end-to-end business visibility often resulting in profitability or revenue growth concerns. By using research analysis methods and an on-line proprietary software, EventuSix creates customized business solutions for our clients and their close collaborators that share a common business purpose. This results in a map of the client's business environment and its dynamics. Based on this map, EventuSix makes recommendations and implementation roadmaps to our clients on how to shape their business environment to advantage.
Broad range of Industry & Government Clients
Medium to Large Market Business Clients
Business with complex (world-wide) Supply chains
Initial target markets include Media, Sport and 'Green' focussed companies
We would love to have the logo to incorporate an environmentally 'green' conscious company but following are some guidelines:
1. No Cartoons
2. Elegance is key... we want to come across as being professional and efficient
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out
4. Please feel free to experiment with colors but remember nothing too flashy
5. Both text or graphical logos or a combination will be considered!
The files we will require:
1) Must be jpeg format with a min resolution of 720x480 so we can scale to the size we want.
2) Would require both "positive" & "negative" logos. One is suitable for a light background, the other is suitable for dark ground.
We are currently using a temporary logo... which I can forward to any designer... since I cant attach it here.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

The translation is:Languebam: sed tu comitatus protinus ad me
venisti centum, Symmache, discipulis.
"I was sick: but you, Symmachus, came to me immediately, accompanied by one hundred students."
I cannot think of any logical reason why ", Symmache, " was placed between centum and discipulis. It completely threw me off and made me think that "centum" cannot be connected to "discipulis".
Why is the comma and name placed there? Is it to emphasize that the 100 were students?? It seems like a totally irrational place to put a comma, it almost seems like it was placed there deliberately to throw off the reader.
This is not the first time I have noted that commas are placed in strange places that seem to break up the sentence in places that should not be broken up at all. Did the comma have a completely different meaning in Latin than it does today in Modern European languages?
Are there any rules that govern where commas should be placed in Latin sentences?

The iOS5 revolution
A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since our first part of this tutorial. We're sorry for the delay, but at the time of writing we were aware of the new featured introduced with iOS5 but we were still under NDA and not authorized to disclose anything about the SDK. Finally we're now able to provide our example magazine app with the double iOS4/iOS5 compatibility.
I will not spend my time explaining all the Newsstand features, all in all we're creating a magazine app here and the Newsstand implementation details go beyond our original purposes. I have written a two parts tutorial in my personal blog that you can read here and here, and that covers all Newsstand aspects and the required (by Apple reviewers) subscriptions. In short, Newsstand is both a new way to present magazines in the iPad and iPhones, where the original icon is replaced by a cover of the magazine or newspaper and is placed under a special group dedicated to collect all Newsstand icons installed by the user. For the developer it is also a framework, called Newsstand Kit, that introduces a new methodology to organize, download and install the app content.
The example app
The screenshot shows the final appearance of the app. A set of nine magazines with their nine fruity cover. You can download a magazine, see the progress bar change while the operation is in progress and finally read it. The other screenshot shows the appearance in the Newsstand. The typical icon has been replaced by a magazine-like representation inside the Newsstand group. The same, if run on an iPad with iOS4 installed will show the classical icon instead.
The full app code is available on GitHub. Don't consider it as a production code, so please don't try to reuse as it is with your clients unless you have tested it in all possible corner cases. Anyway it can be considered as a valid starting point for real apps. Essentially the principles behind the code architecture have been depicted inPart I of this tutorial; if you haven't read it yet I recommend to jump to that article before entering in this one, at least to understand the key components of such an app. The driving aim is to keep the issues management (controller, don't confuse it with "view controller") separated as much as possible from the UI concerns. This means that in theory the whole code behind the Store Manager and Issue Modelspart can be reused even in a Mac OSX app, as they relationship with UI stuff is minimum.
I have setup this app using the basic single window Xcode template and then added the two main components in the application delegate startup method:
// here we create the "Store" instance
_store = [[Store alloc] init];
[_store startup];
self.shelf = [[[ShelfViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil] autorelease];
self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
self.window.rootViewController = _shelf;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
The two components are:
- the Store class, which represents the Store Manager block in the app architecture; this Class is a subclass of NSObject and is not linked to the user interface.
- the ShelfViewController represents the UI of the application. It is linked to the store using a specific property. Note that the controller will not access the store exposed properties, but will get the needed information via a simple API. We could have used a delegate pattern instead, but as both blocks are essentially custom blocks in a custom app, there is not much need to define a protocol for their interaction. We can say that the controller part has been split in two parts, one for the UI, the shelf, and one for the back-end, the Store. Their link is such that the Shelf depends on the Store (strict link), not viceversa. Any Store to Shelf communication is done using lazy methods, based on notifications.
The app has then been integrated with the new Newsstand requirements in the info plist. Again have a look at Apple docs or my tutorial for a detailed guide.
Models and Controllers
We have one model in this app, it is the Issue model which represents a single magazine issue in the store or in the user library. There is also one controller, which is the Store. As I said this controller is not a UI component but the app back-end is self sufficient with these two components. In theory we can retrieve the store status and download magazines even without any user interface. This is a basic concept in magazine apps, where many events happen in the background are not related to direct user interaction: this means that the app should be capable to perform several tasks even if the user interface has not been loaded at all.
The role of the Issue class is to represent all relevant magazine properties, that is a unique identifier, a title, a release date, a link to the cover image, obviously the link (URL) to the content (which can be a pdf file, an epub file or a zip file for complex packages). In particular the unique identifier is a piece of data that must be maintained along the full life of the issue: it is the only way to uniquely identify a particular issue, independently of localization issues (e.g. the title can change in different countries, but not the unique ID). Besides it is the link to the Newsstand way to identify issues (the NKIssue's name field) and it can be also used to link the product with the App Store if we're going to implement In App Purchases.
Other than this role, the Issue class will have a central role in the downloading of a magazine. Essentially the Store class will schedule a download but it will be monitored (progress) and then finished (effective magazine installation) by the Issue class.
Finally this class has limited capabilities to represent a magazine already downloaded and available in the user library. For this we provide the simpleisIssueAvailableForRead that will be used by the user interface to know which action is possible with an issue (read or download) and eventually display the contents.
The Store class is the app controller. It is initialized at the very beginning of the app and its instance is never released. Besides immediately after initialization this class will fetch the store contents from the publisher server. In the example we decided to implement the store contents as a simple property list, and we instruct the store to retrieve this property list, decode it and create the Issue objects, and finally download their cover images. All this is done asynchronously using the Grand Central Dispatch and at the end a notification will be sent to inform all interested objects (in particular the view controller) that the store contents are ready and the UI can be safely displayed. Note that the store status is represented by a propertystatus. We have overridden its setter method to post a notification that informs any interested observer of the new state. For simplicity we decided to limit the possible statuses to "not initialized", "downloading", "ready" and "error". A more complex app can introduce extra states if needed. Finally as a fallback in case of missing connection (the user must be able to access his/her content even if not connected to the Internet) we reload a locally saved copy of the store.
The central piece of the code is in the downloadStoreIssues method of the class, that we report below:
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_HIGH,0), ^{
NSArray *_list = [[NSArray alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.viggiosoft.com/media/data/iosblog/magazine/store.plist"%5D%5D;
if(!_list) {
// let's try to retrieve it locally
_list = [[NSArray alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[self fileURLOfCachedStoreFile]];
if(_list) {
// now creating all issues and storing in the storeIssues array
[_list enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
NSDictionary *issueDictionary = (NSDictionary *)obj;
Issue *anIssue = [[Issue alloc] init];
anIssue.issueID=[issueDictionary objectForKey:@"ID"];
anIssue.title=[issueDictionary objectForKey:@"Title"];
anIssue.releaseDate=[issueDictionary objectForKey:@"Release date"];
anIssue.coverURL=[issueDictionary objectForKey:@"Cover URL"];
anIssue.downloadURL=[issueDictionary objectForKey:@"Download URL"];
anIssue.free=[(NSNumber *)[issueDictionary objectForKey:@"Free"] boolValue];
[anIssue addInNewsstand];
[storeIssues addObject:anIssue];
[anIssue release];
// dispatch cover loading
if(![anIssue coverImage]) {
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
NSData *imgData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:anIssue.coverURL]];
if(imgData) {
[imgData writeToURL:[anIssue.contentURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"cover.png"] atomically:YES];
// let's save the file locally
[_list writeToURL:[self fileURLOfCachedStoreFile] atomically:YES];
[_list release];
} else {
ELog(@"Store download failed.");
storeIssues = nil;
Note that in the code above for simplicity I have queued the cover downloading immediately after the property list download. Probably this is not the best way to do this, as we are adding extra networking steps before presenting the app status, with possible delays if network conditions are not good. We can do this in an example where we know that the number of issues is limited, probably in a real app it makes more sense to do this in a background job and then notify the UI to update its status every time a new cover is ready to be displayed.
The view controller
The user interface will wake up immediately, and will change its appearance based on the notifications coming from the store. When the notification center will deliver the store "I'm ready" message to the UI, this one will load all UI issue representations (the CoverView class in the code, a basic view with really minimum application logic) and show the shelf to the user.
At this point the app terminated its back-end processing and is waiting for user commands. Here we have two possibilities:
- A magazine has been downloaded, the user will see a "READ" button, clicking on it he will be able to read it. In our example all our content is made of pdf files, we decided to use the Quick Look framework in iOS, it is enough for our purposes.
- A magazine has not been downloaded yet, the user will see a "DOWNLOAD" button, clicking on it the download will start and we'll show a progress bar. At the end we need to replace the button label and hide the progress. We'll see this part in more detail.
The view controller is dependent on the store. In order to get the issues information (number of issues, detail of each issue) it will not access directly to the store properties but will use a very simple API, made of three methods:
/* "issueAtIndex:" retrieves the issue at the given index */
-(Issue *)issueAtIndex:(NSInteger)index;
/* "issueWithID:" retrieves the issue with the given ID */
-(Issue *)issueWithID:(NSString *)issueID;
Based on this information, and on the Issue properties, it will create the Issue view representation (CoverView) and place it on the screen.
Downloading a magazine
In a magazine app there are three critical sections: retrieve and display of the store contents, download the contents and finally read them (a good PDF or epub reader is mandatory in an app like that; it's not the purpose of this tutorial, aimed to explain the architecture and the techniques needed to make such an app, but it is a relevant part in the user experience).
My approach in the magazine download is that the user must be completely free to do any action and such actions shouldn't interfere with the result of the download. Now many apps take a shortcut: they put a spinner in the center of the screen, then block any user interaction with the UI objects behind the spinner and ask the user to wait. It's easy to do this, but it is not the better user experience. While waiting the user can read another issue, can navigate inside the store or decide to switch temporarily to another application or finally can temporarily lose the network.Newsstand Kit provides a system level methodology that simplifies (in some cases) the developer life but at the same time removes any excuse on not doing a good job in term of user experience.
As soon as the user triggers a new download, the view controller will send its download request to the store class. In the code below you can see thescheduleDownloadOfIssue: code. This method will prepare the network request and will send it in the background. Note how we split the app behavior based on the operating system version we're on. If it is iOS5 then we must use the Newsstand approach – where the downloading will be managed by the system in a Newsstand queue – , if we are in iOS4 we'll follow a classic methodology based on NSOperation: in this case I missed for simplicity to get the content length of the content to be downloaded, so in the iOS4 case the progress bar will not be displayed. This information instead if provided "for free" by Newsstand.
NSString *downloadURL = [issueToDownload downloadURL];
NSURLRequest *downloadRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:downloadURL]];
if(isOS5()) {
// iOS5 : use Newsstand
NKIssue *nkIssue = [issueToDownload newsstandIssue];
NKAssetDownload *assetDownload = [nkIssue addAssetWithRequest:downloadRequest];
[assetDownload downloadWithDelegate:issueToDownload];
} else {
// iOS4 : use NSOperation
NSURLConnection *conn = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:downloadRequest delegate:issueToDownload];
NSInvocationOperation *op = [[NSInvocationOperation alloc] initWithTarget:self selector:@selector(startDownload:) object:conn];
if(!downloadQueue) {
downloadQueue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];
[downloadQueue addOperation:op];
[downloadQueue setSuspended:NO];
// iOS4 only
-(void)startDownload:(id)obj {
NSURLConnection *conn = (NSURLConnection *)obj;
[conn start];
In the two cases I'd like to emphasize the fact that the Store initiates the download operation but then it will delegate any further processing to the interested part, the is the Issue to be downloaded. So it will be the Issue class that will monitor the download and then will finalize it.
The Issue class will behave as delegate of the download operation triggered by the Store class. The delegate protocol changes if you're using Newsstand or not. In the former case you will need to be compliant with theNSURLConnectionDownloadDelegate protocol while in the latter the protocol to be respected will be the un-documented (or: documented in the header files only!)NSURLConnectionDataDelegate which is a "spin-off" of the classicNSURLConnectionDelegate. The difference between the two protocols in that one will write in the file system, the other in memory. Again don't use the "data" approach for production purposes, here we're loading the whole content in memory and then saving on disk when the content has been completely downloaded: really not the best approach if your content is hundred of megabytes, your app will certainly crash.
In order to visually track the progress and then update the user interface, we decided, being coherent of our principles, to keep the application store controller independent on any UI choice. To do this we make use of KVO and Notifications. Essentially when the view controller starts a download, it will set itself and the magazine view as notification observers of the download result, in order to update its status as soon the download terminates (with success or with error):
[issue addObserver:cover forKeyPath:@"downloadProgress" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew context:NULL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(issueDidEndDownload:) name:ISSUE_END_OF_DOWNLOAD_NOTIFICATION object:issue];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(issueDidFailDownload:) name:ISSUE_FAILED_DOWNLOAD_NOTIFICATION object:issue];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:cover selector:@selector(issueDidEndDownload:) name:ISSUE_END_OF_DOWNLOAD_NOTIFICATION object:issue];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:cover selector:@selector(issueDidFailDownload:) name:ISSUE_FAILED_DOWNLOAD_NOTIFICATION object:issue];
[_store scheduleDownloadOfIssue:issue];
Both the cover view and the view controller will need to unregister from the notification center as soon as the download operation terminates. Besides to allow the cover view to keep track of the progress status, as the download starts it will be registered as a KVO observer of the downloadProgress property of the Issue. This means that for each change of this property, that will occur during the downloading phase, the cover view will be informed of the change to update the progress bar (so we have here a separation again of the back-end property, the download progress, from the UI, the UIProgressBar). The cover view will unregister itself as soon as download terminates.
When the download terminates, the Issue instance will copy the downloaded content to the final destination. In the Newsstand framework this destination is specified by the system, in iOS4 will copy it in the Caches directory to be compliant with iCloud requirements (yes, iOS4 doesn't work with iCloud but our app is the same for both generations of the OS, so we must be good citizens in any case).
In the Newsstand case we'll also need to update the cover image for the Newsstand icon. We'll do it with a simple command inside the code that manages the download termination (at the end we also send the end of download notification we mentioned previously):
// copy the file to the destination directory
NSURL *finalURL = [[self contentURL] URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"magazine.pdf"];
ELog(@"Copying item from %@ to %@",destinationURL,finalURL);
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] copyItemAtURL:destinationURL toURL:finalURL error:NULL];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtURL:destinationURL error:NULL];
// update Newsstand icon
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setNewsstandIconImage:[self coverImage]];
// post notification
[self sendEndOfDownloadNotification];
This is the conclusion of this tutorial. We decided after a long interval to make an effort to propose a complete app valid for both iOS4 and iOS5 environments. In the code you will find more interesting stuff, e.g. a "hook" to the Store Kit: this is a typical issue not considered by developers when they make applications that sell magazines. In such case storing the issue price in the publisher server is not of help as we must retrieve the pricing information from the only relevant source, that is the App Store. To do this our app must – asynchronously – query the iTunes store for the prices of all the publications and then display them once retrieved. I'm not adding this extra step in the code, just the hook as placeholder for future extensions, but of course if required by our readers I can extend this tutorial further. I would appreciate any suggestion and any contribution in the GitHub hosted code, I would like to see the example code provided with this tutorial as a good skeleton for new apps. If you didn't enjoy this article, at least you can enjoy the literature classics (and a Django manual…) that I used to create my PDF files.

Precision Planting has harnessed Apple's iPad 2 tablet computer to provide real-time in-cab mapping of planter performance data captured by its 20/20 SeedSense monitor. The free FieldView App (application) uses the iPad as a secondary monitor and processor, as well as a mobile scouting and office computing tool, a first for agriculture, the company claims.
In the field, planting data, including population, singulation, spacing, row-unit ride and down force, are mapped on top of Google images downloaded using the iPad's 3G cellular communications capability. The FieldView App stores planting data captured from the SeedSense monitor so it can be accessed via the iPad when in the office, when field scouting or in the combine when yields are being assessed.
Growers also can use the iPad to access Precision Planting's online technical support system, including software updates, data transfer and data backup, and as a general computing and communications tool.
A FieldView base kit includes a FieldView Module (FVM), which feeds data from the SeedSense monitor to the tablet, a display harness, a RAM mount and a Gumdrop Drop Tech ruggedized tablet case. The system is compatible with any planter running a 20/20 SeedSense monitor. The suggested retail price is $970. Precision Planting recommends a 32 gigabyte (GB) iPad 2 with 3G, available from Precision Planting for $714. The tablet also is available from Apple and other retailers.
The free FieldView App is expected to be available at Apple's iTunes store in mid-February. It includes field demos to test drive the system before going to the field. For information, visit www.precisionplanting.com.

LAST week was baby's first MCAS exam. My third-grade daughter, after months of preparation, sat down in front of a thick booklet to answer reading comprehension questions. She experienced the rituals of test-taking, the exhortations NOT TO TURN THE PAGE UNTIL SHE WAS TOLD. She felt the pressure of performance, passed from public to administration to principal to teacher, all the way down to the students in metal chairs.
Watching her handle that pressure — drilling, for weeks on end — was tough. On the other hand, those drills involved reading texts, understanding them, and answering open-ended questions, which aren't such terrible skills to practice over and over again.
Such are the positives and negatives of standardized tests. And if we think the pressure's on kids now, just wait until we dig into the Common Core. High stakes are about to get higher. And it's the grown-ups who might need to adjust the most.
Massachusetts is currently phasing in the Common Core, the new national curriculum standards that were adopted by 46 states and the District of Columbia. In theory, here's what they'll do: Place a larger emphasis on the writing process and the construction of arguments, even in classes other than English. Encourage English teachers to work with science and social studies teachers. Force math students to focus on problem-solving instead of concept drills.
The town of Reading is an early adopter of the standards, and a few weeks ago I met with some teachers and administrators there to hear about the transition. Nationwide, the Common Core has gotten flack from some teachers, who complain about one-size-fits-all standards and too-fast implementation. But in Reading, this group had largely good things to say.
Kathy Favazza, a middle-school math teacher who helps train teachers in the new system, talked about spending less time standing at the board and more guiding her students in exploration. She described one lesson plan after the February blizzard: She put up a map of power outages, then asked students what they saw and what they wanted to know. They started comparing outage rates, doing fractions and complex long division, "because they were interested in finding out the answer."
Other teachers told stories about cross-discipline collaboration. A middle-school science teacher who asked an English teacher for help developing a student writing assignment, an essay about whether the class should dissect real frogs or use diagrams. An elementary school science teacher, doing a unit on sound, who worked with a music teacher to make instruments.
Teachers said they need to adjust to the new emphasis on writing and find more time to work with colleagues. But they suggested that the biggest resistance might come from students and their parents — particularly those who thrived under the old system.
"They've learned how to do school," said Craig Martin, the principal of Coolidge Middle School. But the rules for success, he said, are going to change.
And the real test will come in the form of . . . a test. The Common Core requires a new standardized test called PARCC, which stands for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness in College and Careers (deep breath), and will likely be in place by the 2014-2015 school year. The new test will be performed twice a year, administered largely on computers, and designed, in the higher grades, to measure college preparedness.
Other states that have already used PARCC have seen precipitous drops in scores, compared to their previous tests. That might not happen in Massachusetts, which already has high standards.
Then again, Massachusetts has a college readiness problem. More than three quarters of our students score "proficient" on the 10th-grade MCAS. But when they go to in-state public colleges, 40 percent of them wind up in remedial classes. If these new PARCC tests show they're flailing, what will happen?
The answer is up to the grown-ups, within the schools and outside of them. Can we view lower scores, not as cause for panic, but reason to adjust? Or will we do what opponents of the Common Core fear: vilify teachers, perform endless drills, cling to test scores as a sole indicator of success?
The tests are coming. They're going to be harder. The kids, I suspect, will eventually rise to the challenge. Here's hoping adults can rise to the challenge, too.Joanna Weiss can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @JoannaWeiss.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
John Dillard grew up on a beef cattle farm and now works as an agricultural and environmental litigation attorney with OFW Law. His blog analyzes legal issues and court decisions that affect America's farmers and ranchers.
Farm tile drains are not a point-source of pollution under the Clean Water Act, even if the outflows include groundwater. So said the federal judge presiding over a citizen's suit that sought to require some farmers to obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for outflows from tile drains.
The case, Pacific Coast Federation of Fisherman's Associations (PCFFA) v. Glaser, centered on the Clean Water Act's exemption for tile drain outflows. The Act states that "return flows from irrigated agriculture" are not considered point sources of pollution. Point sources are required to have NPDES permits if they discharge into jurisdictional waters.
The plaintiffs in PCFFA argued that the exemption does not apply if the tile drain outflow includes components that are not the result of irrigated agriculture. Namely, the plaintiffs argued that tile drain outflows should not be exempt in areas with high water tables because these tile drains have a tendency to collect groundwater, which could be contaminated with pollutants.
The defendants, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, argued that Congress intended a broad interpretation of the exemption for tile drains, and that it should apply to all tile drain outflows from areas that receive irrigation. This is consistent with EPA and US Army Corps of Engineers policy on tile drain outflows.
In this particular case, the plaintiffs were concerned about pollution in water downstream from irrigated cropland in the San Joaquin Valley of California. The fields in question had relatively high water tables and contained heavy metals, such as selenium. Tile drains, in general, are a valuable agricultural tool because they drain away surface water and prevent groundwater from saturating crop roots. In this particular case, the outflow contained not only surface irrigation water, but also selenium-contaminated groundwater. This mixture of irrigation water and groundwater then flowed downstream.
The judge sided with the federal government, and dismissed the plaintiffs' case, holding that Congress intended for the exemption for return flows from irrigated agriculture to apply broadly to exempt outflows from farms that use irrigation instead of "focusing on what the components of a particular flow are on any given day." Although the judge dismissed the plaintiffs' case, she did allow the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. This means that this is not the last we have heard from in this case.
This decision is, at least for the time being, a positive result for production agriculture because it confirms the proposition that owners of agricultural tile drain systems are not required to obtain an NPDES permit under the federal Clean Water Act. If the court held otherwise, untold thousands of farms would be required to obtain and comply with NPDES permits – a costly and onerous proposition.
The judge dismissed this case a little over a year after she had initially denied the federal government's motion to dismiss. In her initial decision, the judge did not order dismissal on the basis that the plaintiff's may have had a valid claim. We should be happy that she did not buy the activists' arguments this time around.
The plaintiffs have submitted an amended complaint in this matter. There will surely be more fireworks as this dispute continues.

Bolton goalkeeper Adam Bogdan has penned a new contract to keep him at the Reebok Stadium until 2013.
The 25-year-old Hungary international joined Wanderers in summer 2007, moving from boyhood club Vasas SC.
Following a single appearance during a loan spell with Crewe two years later, Bogdan made his Bolton debut in the August 2010 League Cup trip to Southampton and went on to play nine games in all competitions that season.
At the turn of this year an injury to Jussi Jaaskelainen offered him another first-team chance and Bogdan went on to dislodge the long-serving veteran as Bolton's number one, a position he retained this season despite Andy Lonergan's arrival from Leeds.
"I'm delighted with the extension," he told Wanderers' official website. "I think it's always a good feeling when the club wants to extend.
"I hope it's a good message for everyone and proves that I see my future here and that I am enjoying playing for the manager. I want to get back to the Premier League as quickly as possible and I see this as a big step."
