"Not for young readers/listeners"
No, the reader did a great job.
Life on the
The story was good, the performance was also good. My complaint is that the story was said to be for middle school ages and up. In my opinion it could be for high school and up, thus the reason for the 4 stars.
"Oh Hildy, I'll Drink to That!"
I would rate it as one of my favorite listens. I found myself wanting to listen to "just one chapter more", and was sad to have the story finished.
I found myself many times laughing out loud at Hildy's comments. However I almost had to pull my car over I was laughing so hard when Hildy dropped her keys off her office porch and decided to jump down after them. Then there were the tender moments, the sweet memories with her husband, Frankie and even Peter as a boy.
To my knowledge I've not listened to Mary Beth Hurt before. She was perfect for this audiobook. She WAS Hildy!
Ann Leary has written a fabulous book on alcoholism. Together with the performance by Mary Beth Hurt, this is not a book to be missed. Both the author and the narrator brought to life the many funny, tender, sad and reflective moments in The Good House. It's can be sad to finish a really good book, but Ann Leary did a great job ending Hildy's story.
"A Wonderful Pilgrimage"
I have already recommended this book, audio and otherwise, to many people. I'm glad I listened to the book over actually reading it for two reasons. First the narration is perfect. Jim Broadbent does a wonderful job capturing the emotions of the different characters,as well as differentiating between them. Secondly if I had the book I would have been tempted to look ahead and thus spoil part of the tale for myself.
Harold, how could one listen to this book and not love dear Harold. But then Harold's wife and neighbor prove quite lovable, and determined as well.
I actually had to pull my car over due to tears in my eyes, but it would give the story away if I said when. It was a family matter that I didn't see coming, hadn't figured out, that revealed itself towards the very end of the story.
I hesitated listening to this book due to the strange subject matter. Finally I figured so many listeners couldn't be wrong, and I'm glad to say they weren't. The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a beautiful story, and now a favorite audio book of mine.
"A Fairly Good Chase"
Chasing Fireflies was a bargain book I took a chance on, and I'm glad I did. While the book may not rank in my top ten books, I found it to be an enjoyable listen. The beginning was a bit slow, and perhaps even confusing, but soon everything made sense. It was one of those times where actually having the book to refer back to would have helped.
I liked how the author brought to light the difficulties of older children in foster care, as well as all the red tape etc involved. The narrator did a good job as well. Overall the story was a sweet one, and I would try another of the author's books.
"Okay, but a bit of a stretch."
The story was okay but the author certainly had to stretch a point or two, or more, to make it work. Even then several elements of the story just didn't make sense.
The narration was fine.
I did complete the book, though the plot became tiresome at times. Mostly I wanted to see if I was correct about the "who done it", and I was. The sex was a little raunchy and I had to make sure no one else was within hearing that might be offended.
"A disappointing choice"
I loved every minute of listening to Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella. I was looking forward to another great listen with The Undomestic Goddess but found the book disappointing.
The story line behind Undomestic Goddess was just plain dumb, and way, way too predictable.
I will try another of Kinsella's books. I just hope it is a better listen than The Undomestic Goddess.
"A fun, laugh out loud, listen"
This is probably one of my favorite light hearted listens. Can You Keep a Secret certainly isn't a deep book, but it definitely is a fun listen.
I thought Kate Reading was perfect in her audio presentation. She captured the spirit of the book perfectly.
This was the first of Sophie Kinsella books that I had listened too. I so enjoyed Can You Keep a Secret that I chose another Kinsella book for my next listen. Unfortunately my next choice didn't hold a candle compared to Secret. For a fun, chick lit, laugh out loud book Can You Keep a Secret scores an A+.
"Worth the long listening time"
The book has many intertwining characters, which as the story progressed I wanted to learn of their next difficulty or triumph. At times it was hard to sort out, or remember, what was what and whom was benefiting or harming whom, because of the length of the book. However by the end it all made sense.
There were a couple of times I thought about abandoning my listen, but I'm glad I stuck it out. I may even listen to book 2 after a break.
"Y'all are a bit too tiring"
Jenna Lamia's southern accent was appropriate and easy to listen to.
I think I would pass on another book by this author.
Heavens no, let's not see a follow up.
The first part of this story was good, but as time went on...the story didn't. The story was like listening to a song where the chorus goes on and on. It was fun to listen to the first time or two or even three but then, you've heard enough and want a different verse.
"Wonderful Ruins"
I thoroughly enjoyed how the author wove the different characters and their stories together through out the the book.
The ending of the story. Weaving together all the various characters and their stories was very well done, and an excellent way to conclude Beautiful Ruins.
A better way to word this question would be...What about Edoardo Ballerini's performance DIDN'T I like? Ballerini did a fantastic job.
An evening with Dee and Pascalli would be delightful.
Beautiful Ruins was a wonderful book to listen to. Edoardo Ballerini did a fantastic job narrating the book. I was sorry to have the story end.
"Not Quite What I Expected..."
It's probably one of those 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other hand type of decisions. The story remains the same either way.
The humor throughout the story was the best feature.
There were a few "laugh out loud" moments.
I found the story a bit drug out. The basic premise, the storyline so to speak, was good. However it did feel to me that filler was added to increase the page count.

found this informative you tube vid, about how a few hams used S band dish antennas to listen to the diect
voice communications from the Apollo missions on the moon. As explained in the vid, the highly directional
nature of the 2.3ghz S band microwave signals proves,they had to be from the moon, instead of relayed
from earth orbit...there is a mistake in the video however..the narrator says the apollo communications were rebroadcast over shortwave via sattelites..this is not true..in fact they were done so live over the Voice of America short wave network...using the VOA's regular megawatt earthbound transmitters.
To conclude IMHO this fine video should give most HB's fits...

About Me Practical
Comments about Sauder Edge Water Highboy TV Stand in Estate Black:
Piece looks good and retailers picture of item was very fair. Manufactuer directions could be improved and way too many small parts. Set aside at least 4 hours to construct. Piece looks really nice but I suggest you not move it around much because it made of pressed wood and will split easily. Not that I put it together, I'm glad I have it, but it does require patience to do it correctly.

This cabinet looks nice. It is heavy particle board. It took a few days to figure out the directions but my husband got it together after work. A good heavy puzzle! I could not have done this at all without him!

About Me Bargain Hunter, Practical, Stylish
I purchased this media stand from Cymax for my bedroom. I was expecting a 2-week delivery but it arrived in less than 5 days. It was well packaged with all componants included and easy to handle. There was even screwdriver placed in the hardware bag. I have gotten wonderful complements from friends and family. I would definitely shop here again. The unit was well worth the price.
Holds A Lot For The Money
By brs480
from Phoenix, AZ
The unit is sturdy, functional and looks just like it does in the picture. For under $200, I cannot complain too loudly. However, I had a number of pieces where there were small chips or scratches in the particle board or covering. I would ask for replacements, but I'd rather just use a black marker to touch up and discard the furniture if I ever move. I found the instructions to be a little confusing, particularly with respect to installation of drawer rails. It turns out they would only fit one way. Some particle board parts didn't have a label on them and it wasn't obvious which part letter they corresponded to. It took me in excess of 5 hours to fully assemble the unit. The kit was complete and not missing any parts. I would suggest a power screwdriver (even though the instructions specify not to use a power drill.) and a pneumatic powered brad driver (18 gauge 3/4" brads) to affix the back panel. You can use the provided screws, but you'll likely harm your fingers.

About Me Bargain Hunter, Practical
This was my fifteenth purchase of a Sauder piece of furniture and I will always turn to this quality for both home and office. I found it easy to build since I have put together so many of their products with the hidden cams and am always amazed that no parts are ever missing [extras included], and everything matches up. I have more on order as I type.

With the past couple of gigs I have shot being two of the most rewarding experiences in the fledgling attempt at a career – a bad night was just around the corner.
I had never shot at the Palais before. This was to be my first night so I knew not what to expect. Although she is a gorgeous, classic venue and pretty much right in my own neighbourhood, I didn't know what would be in store for me photographically.

TUPPERS PLAINS — While the Phase 3 mandatory water use ban in the Tuppers Plains-Chester Water District caused by a water leak has been stepped down to a Phase 2 which lessens the guidelines for water use, additional townships have been added to the areas where water use is restricted.
Donald C. Poole, general manager of the Water District, announced Friday afternoon that the expanded area includes Scipio, Bedford, and Salisbury Townships. The townships put under a Phase 3 mandate Wednesday because of the water leak in Chester that drained water tanks in Chester, Five Points, Rocksprings, Darwin and Pageville Areas, now have a Phase 2 designation
"All boil advisories have now been lifted," Poole said.
He described the new designation as follows:
"Outdoor water use both public and private will be banned with the exception of the following: Water use for the production = food, maintenance of pets and livestock: watering by commercial nurseries at a minimum level to maintain stock (to the extent that other water sources are not available or feasible); watering by arboretums and public gardens of national, state or regional significance where necessary to preserve specimens; operation of pools used by health care facilities for patient care and rehabilitation: fire hydrants for firefighting, health protection purposes (if specifically approved by local health officials, and the Tuppers Plains-Chester Water District.) All farming operations are to stop the use of broadcast sprinklers, only drip irrigation should be used."
He emphasized that the emergency water use ban is now in effect for Chester, Salisbury, Sutton, Letart, Lebanon, Scipio, Bedford and Salisbury Townships.
"It is very much appreciated the conservation measures many people have taken as we can see in our distribution readings that water use has slowed. The rain has helped in the south portions of our system but many areas received little rain. With one equipment failure and a very untimely major water main break in Chester, the recovery will be slow," Poole concluded.

Your one-stop shop for compostable, eco-friendly tableware & soft paper products for home & outdoors ...Support The Sea Angels Mission
Sea Angels Store products designated as Compostable are designed to biodegrade in a reasonably short period of time in a suitable environment in accordance with ASTM standards for compostability. What a "reasonably short time" is depends on where the product is disposed. For example in landfills, where most garbage is taken, materials degrade very slowly - if at all.

This helps prevent pollutants from the garbage from getting into the air and drinking water, and slows the decomposition of the trash.

I love this next home feature from D*S:
Theres something about seeing a smaller space be used to it full potential. It makes me like the space even more than I would if it was larger and more wide open.
I hope everyone out there had an amazing mothers day, we had the whole family {both sides..15 people!} over for dinner and it was a blast! We have a fun project i'm posting this week, so be sure to check in!

Hampton deserved better at Ks
2:06pm Friday 4th January 2013 in Football By Stuart Amos
Hampton & Richmond Borough boss Mark Harper reckoned his men deserved all three-points at Kingstonian on Saturday, despite playing an hour with 10-men.
Youngster Anson Cousins received his marching orders after just 30 minutes of Tuesday's 0-0 draw at Kingsmeadow, that prevented boss Alan Dowson's men from sneaking in to the Ryman Premier League play off places at the start of 2013.
Hampton are without a league win since October and Harper – who has been given two more games by the club's board to save his job – insisted his understrength side, minus the suspended Malvin Kamara and Darren Powell at the weekend, should have secured maximum points against a lacklustre Ks.
"It was a massive point for us in the circumstances and all credit for the lads for digging it out," he said.
"Even with ten men I thought we had the opportunities to nick the game and we weren't really tested."
Kingstonian, whose game at Margate on Saturday fell foul of the weather, host Wealdstone this weekend looking to avenge a 5-2 defeat earlier in the season.
Dowson will be keen to see his men back to winning ways after the 4-1 Boxing Day defeat to Jimmy Cooper's Met Police, a loss inspired by former midfielder Sam Clayton.
* Combined Counties Premier Division side Molesey chairman Tracy Teague has vowed Saturday's visit of Guernsey to Walton Road will beat the weather.
"It should be a really good match with both teams in the top six of the league table," she said.

Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Ask an Evolutionary Creationist: A Q&A with Dennis Venema
Even if Darwin had never lived and no one else had come up with the idea of common ancestry, modern genomics would have forced us to that conclusion even if there was no other evidence available.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Series: Understanding Evolution: the Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment, we examine evidence that proteins in irreducibly complex (IC) systems can form and refine new interactions through gradual mechanisms.
Series: Behe's B Cell Bravado
This three part series by Kathryn Applegate argues strongly against Michael Behe's claim that the immune system is irreducibly complex. She begins with a brief review of antibody generation in B-cells. Then, she addresses Behe's invalid assumptions about this process. Looking at the function of bacterial transposons, she then provides a reasonable explanation for the gradual evolution of the system and calls Behe to engage the scientific literature.
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.

Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
Series: Randomness and God's Governance
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
Teaching Science in Tennessee
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
Possibilities and Second Chances
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
Series: Understanding Evolution: Is There "Junk" in Your Genome?
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment on "junk DNA", we explore how genomics can be employed to test for non-functional sequences by comparing sequences between related organisms.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Science is Empowering But Hard to Define
It is easy to be confused about what science is and what scientists do. In part, this is because scientists do so many different things in so many different ways.

He played piano with Clark in 1966 and would work with Dillard on the "Popeye" soundtrack, but he didn't arrange "Why not your baby", it's not on his CV and it doesn't sound like him

I'd read that he DID arrange it on his official website back when it had a list of his outside work... Strange.
Saying it doesn't sound like him is kinda weird, tho - everything the guy arranges doesn't have to sound like Song Cycle and it's possible they just told him to do the strings rather than the whole session, which sounds like a normal Dillard & Clark arrangement. But I don't know for sure, obviously.

The list from his old website isn't *official*-- it was compiled by a guy named Gerhard. Furthermore, it doesn't have the D&C song on it.

Here's something I don't understand: why does Discover America, which is, sure, a covers album, why does it begin with somebody else's recording? On one hand I think it's rebellious and fun, and a nice 'tip of the hat' to the beginning of Vine Street (somebody else's song segueing into somebody else's song). But it confounds me that Track 1 is just, well, somebody else's record.
― poxen, Saturday, 12 May 2012 02:08 (1 year ago) Permalink
Because he's trying to educate the rest of us dullards in the world about Trinidadian music I would assume? Also it's a great track! One thing I've never understood about that album is why he credited the tracks written by Trinidadian artists to Van Dyke Parks, I know he explains in the sleevenotes that all royalties from the tracks went to the writers but why not list them? Was it a publishing thing?
Haven't listened to "Clang of the Yankee Reaper" in years, but I remember it being a bit too Trinidad and not enough VDP, apart from the title track... and "You're a Real Sweetheart". I can't imagine him disowning it though, why would he? I doubt he had record company pressure, he seems to have been able to record whenever and whatever he wants throughout his career... a rarity!

I don't think I knew any of the original versions - certianly not well enough to recognise them - how different are they in terms of arrangement, performance? I'm assuming they probably didn't have orchestras, for a start, but VDP used stuff like steel drums on some of the tracks. How faithful are they, I guess?

arrangements are odder and more strident than originals in most cases, but VDP's voice is also very much an acquired taste. me, i haven't really acquired it per se, i just sort of put up w/ it. anyway arrangements + his singing give songs a kind of arch, vaguely ironic flair that at first kind of irritated me. but at some point on most of the songs the weirdness kind of gels at some point.
have folks heard his arrangement of that bonnie raitt calypso song. at some level it could probably be considered a horrid misstep--almost a kind of blackface routine, w/ ms raitt adopting an outsized patois and the arrangement cranking up the steel drum. but it kind of works. at least, it's interesting to hear her stretch out a bit.

The Mackinaw Area Historical Society offers lively local monthly programs featuring informative presentations on historically significant topics. In partnership with the Village of Mackinaw City we are also creating Heritage Village. Heritage Village's period is from 1880 through 1917, a time of unparalleled changes in lighting, transportation, communication, housing, health care and nearly every other aspect of Straits-area living. It also reflects an era from which a precious few buildings are still standing, and stories told by parents, grandparents and great grandparents abound.
This year's Historic Festival was held at Heritage Village on August 4. One of the highlights of the festival was the 1st Annual Pepper Footraces, which benefited both the Mackinaw Area Historical Society and the Mackinaw City Public Schools Athletic Department. For a narrative and photos of the Festival, go to EVENTS, where you can also find information on monthly speakers. To learn more about the society or Heritage Village go to ABOUT MAHS.
During the summer you may visit the village any day. But for tours conducted by docents we are open Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 1pm to 5pm. For more information on our buildings and attractions use our Audio Tour by phoning 231-486-0003 and keying in stops 201 - 213. We are continuing to add stops.
The most common response we receive when visitors find out how short a time we have been in existence and when the Village started is "WOW"! We are extremely proud of what we have done and our members' determination to move ahead.
A series of QR codes has been been set up to able visitors to hear recordings introducing them to the subjects and structures found in Heritage Village. You can hear the recordings on the Website, or at the various stops throughout the Village. Go to the Audio section of our menu for more.
To donate to the Society by using your credit card or PayPal account, go to the Volunteerism and Donations page at left and follow instructions.
Our annual Festival/Celebration will be held Friday night and Saturday, August 2nd and 3rd. To sign up for the 2nd annual Pepper Footraces that take place Saturday morning of the event, see instructions at the EVENTS/ANNUAL FESTIVALS/2013

A perspective: developers vs Microsoft | ReactOS Project:

Every year I say I am going to WWDC and every year it passes and I say "Next year for sure.". This year I decided it was time to put up or shut up. I did my best: I was ready at 10, logged in and started the process. I got to the checkout process after a few restarts and a couple of browsers and after I entered all my info and clicked place order, server error.
As many have reported, I got my call from Apple (although I thought it was a joke from my friends since they were sitting there when I got denied). I booked my hotel and flight and ready to go.
I am using Jeff Lamarche's First Time Guide.
I do feel bad for all the people who will not get to go. I was hoping to meet some of the cool kids while I was there yet some of them that will not be there. I plan on saying hi to as many as a can without "Being Creepy".

Working on a Mac / iOS projects, I have been trying to come up with an easy way to bump versions when it goes out the door for testing or production. Mostly I have been working it out manually, yet that is now fun after the dozenth time. I started looking around for something that would fit my workflow. I found a couple of posts that help me out.
After reading the two posts (especially the last one), it should be easy to follow what I am doing to bump the versions of the application. It feels natural with the gitflow technique. Download the code from the GitHub project here.

Seven Deadly Sins of Modern Objective-C:

Jonathan Sterling – Typed Collections with Self Types in Objective-C:
" The latest versions of the Clang compiler extend the Objective-C language with related return types, which allow a limited form of covariance to be expressed. Methods with certain names (alloc
, init
, etc.) are inferred to return an object of the instance type for the receiver; other methods can participate in this covariance by using the instancetype
keyword for the return type annotation. "
This is what I really want in the next version of Objective C.

I had previously published this and with all the new things I have learned, I thought it time to update and change since I am doing things different now. I admit, this seems to be a bit easier.
I have written quite a bit about using agile techniques (unit testing, continuous integration, etc) and in this post, I am going to put it all together. We will go through how to setup the project, build the application test first, how to integrate code coverage and source control flow to build features.
The Application
The application itself is not all that important. I picked something that would be easy to build and demonstrate the concepts. The application is a contact application. I based it around the post of Building a Modern Cocoa App by Martin Pilkington. I think the post does a great job of explaining an approach to building modern Cocoa Applications that I have taken when building apps for the Mac. The contact manager application is a Cocoa Application that uses Core Data as it's backing store with Unit Tests which gives us two projects, ContactManager and ContactManagerTests.
After creating the project in Xcode 4, I needed to make a few changes to the project. The first thing I wanted to do is change to use the LVVM compiler and the lldb debugger. I also set the build to always run the static analyzer. The other thing I wanted to do is get code coverage. I also added some tools to the project. Since I am going to be doing test first, I added the OCMock framework and because I wanted some output for the code coverage, I added the lcov toolset from Linux (geninfo, genhtml).
For OCMock, I added the framework to the ContactManagerTests project. The problem I ran into was that the framework would not load into the test bundle because it could not be found. This is because of the location of the file in the Frameworks directory. I had to change the Runpath Search Path to @loader_path/../Framework.
For the Coverage configuration in the ContactManager project, I did the following:
All of this setup can be done once and create a custom project if you create a lot of these types of projects.
Test First
Now that we have everything setup and ready to go, we need to figure out how to break this code into it's parts. The application stores contacts in Core Data and uses binding KVO / KVC to build out the UI. The first story I decided to take on saving a contact (since that is one of the major features of the app). I am going to describe this story (and not all of them) and you can look at the rest of the code to see how things
Save a Contact
I decided that I wanted to store first name, last name, email and phone number. Nothing amazing here. I do this with the Core Data modeler and create a Contact object class from the model I created. After this I decide to create a ContactDataController that would manage contact data. I decided to also add a CoreDataController that would manage the Core Data infrastructure (much like that from the Modern App by Martin). One thing I didn't want is a Singleton. Singletons are really hard to test and I avoid them as much as possible. For this I decided to inject the CoreDataController into the ContactDataController and make that the default initializer.
Once I had this infrastructure and tests in place I created the UI and the list and detail view controllers for the UI, I needed to figure out how to add the tests to ensure that things are working properly. Chris Hanson has had a great set of posts on doing just this. The main idea is that you will trust that Cocoa will do the right thing (KVO / KVC) but you want to verify that all the things are setup to make it work. I did just this by creating some simple methods that verify that Cocoa hooked up my Views and Controllers and that I didn't forget anything. If you look at the tests, it is pretty easy to see how this works.
That is the pattern that I followed for all the code in this application. You can review the rest of the code to see how it all fits together.
Code Coverage
After the setup, when you run your tests, you get the code that is covered. The key here is how you want to view it. Once you have your code instrumented, you can use a tool like CoverStory to view it, yet I wanted something more automated. I found a great article that fits in with my workflow. This allows me to use lcov to generate a file that I can see before I integrate into CI (Continuous Integration) server.
Since I do not install the command line tools I did change the envcov.sh file to add the bin file to the path that includes gcov.
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin
You will have to download the lcov tool for the project since the licence is iffy.
Source Control Flow
This one was pretty easy as well. I followed the process from here. They call this git flow and it is pretty well laid out. I used this for all my projects now. The key is that you have to use branches. You do everything off topic branches and master is pretty much your release. I find that doing this helps me focus on working on one thing at a time. If I am writing a large commit message that includes to much work... I feel I am breaking some sort of magical law :).
I use home-brew to install everything. You can install git and gitflow using this.
Wrap Up
The code is the best place to learn. I hope you find a few nuggets in here that you can use on your projects. It has taken me a while to find my groove yet I am really happy with this now. And I am always looking to improve.
If you want to know more about Unit Testing I would go check out Unit Testing with Xcode or Test-Driven iOS Development.

In our Hilo project we wrote TDD with lots of unit tests. The one thing we noticed is there were no good way to run tests that were asynchronous. Given that most everything in Windows 8 store apps need to be async, we wrote some test helpers to do this. Looks like the team took this and made an extension to easily get it. The only thing that is missing is the UI portion of the helpers. If you really need that (and you probably will), you can get it from the Hilo project.

"To create an anxiety relievable only by a purchase… that is the job of advertising.
Advertising increases familiarity, reminds consumers about your product, and spreads product news. We covered all that before. Today we're looking at a fourth job advertising does: it defeats inertia.
Getting Customers to Switch
People don't hate progress, they just prefer inertia. This stops them from buying your product even when it's the logical choice."

This is a great article to think about your customer and your project.

Lacan: "desire is always desire for the Other." The wholly, impossibly transcendent Other, pace Derrida and Levinas, is God. Desire is a response to a certain non-knowledge of the desire of the Other. This non-knowledge is Lacan's objet a, the cause of the object of desire. The object of desire is an opening onto the actual desire of the Other. The anxiety of non-knowledge is unbearable, and so the subject fantasizes knowledge, speaking through symptom. Lacan asks us to imagine standing before a female praying mantis without knowing whether we are wearing the mask of a female or male. As is well-known, the female devours the male after mating with him. This is the anxiety before the Other, this is the objet a. The resultant symptom can be thought accordingly as a way of surmounting the enigma by way of the reactionary formation of a hypothesis that concerns the desire of the Other. Desire, we might say, embodies our non-knowledge with respect to the Other's desire. Embodied in all relation is the sense that despite the fact that we are being addressed by the Other, we nonetheless do not know why the Other is addressing us. Put differently, we do not know the desire that animates the Other's relation to us.
It is this non-knowledge with respect to the desire of the Other that generates the fantasy and the symptom. Within the Lacanian framework, the fantasy is not so much a wish for something we lack, but is rather an answer to the enigma of the Other's desire. Fantasy, we could say, is a hypothesis as to what the Other desires. Through fantasy, the anxiety the subject encounters in the face of the enigma of the Other's desire is thereby minimized. Even where the fantasy is relatively disagreeable, the answer to the enigma of the Other's desire is nonetheless preferable to the anxiety-provoking non-knowledge of that desire. Consequently, it stands to reason that before the specter of the absolute Other, the transcendent God, one speaks in torrents, symptomatically. One hallucinates in doctrine, imagines in scripture, desires in belief.
Religion: a desire for the Other, before the Other. What the properly faithful believer requires is a skilled analyst capable of uncoiling the mess of anxiety that lies dormant within the mangled unconscious of the subject. Of course, when one symptom is made to disappear, another often emerges. Silence is difficult, and the object-cause prefers to enunciate. Nietzsche: in what way we, too, are still pious. The shadow of god, and so on. More symptoms of the same, eternal object-cause. The believer: a neurotic, and nothing besides. And yet, there is a sense in which the symptom is projected onto the very being of the Other and made to function as a system of actual properties. As Žižek puts it, "[t]he role of fantasy [is to] mediate between the formal symbolic structure and the positivity of objects we encounter in reality—that is to say, it provides a 'schema' according to which certain positive objects in reality can function as objects of desire, filling in the empty places opened up by the formal symbolic structure". And when we substitute for the intersubjective Other the wholly transcendent, Levinasian Other, we get what I take to be a relatively compelling picture of religious belief. The fantasy is that which recedes into the background while structuring one's relation to the Other. As such, fantasy creates an effect whereby the manner in which fantasy transforms the anxiety of non-knowledge experienced before the Other into actual properties that are ascribed to the Other appears to result entirely from the Other itself, and not from the subject's desire.

Hi all,
wondering if anyone out there can help.
here is a link to my site for starters: http://www.rerdownloads.com
These menu buttons you see at the top. I needed to align them (to where you see them) but it has left a big blue square. I did this in Custom Styles, just playing around with the code...what I could find out.
I added margin-left: 180px; in this code:
#nav.continuous ul li#menu-item-70 a {
margin-left: 180px;
As you can see it left the blank space blue. Not even sure what I did is right.
2 other things I really need help with:
i) The buttons seem to move left and right when you click on them. Not sure why this is. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
ii) I also need to add another button just to the left of the search box.
I have tried to do this using the same kind of code for the other buttons, in Custom Styles, but this did not seem to do anything.
I am confused as to where it says #nav.continuous ul li#menu-item-70 a {
Like, what is that number 70? and why is it that number? That is what is confusing me. I have uploaded the new button to the server.
Any help with these issues would be amazing. This is really killing me!!
thanks in advance

This place is very good!!
We've also been going to La Creperie for years - always the first choice for lunch with a cherished friend. The last time we came in, everything seemed different; the warm ambience had cooled, the food had diminished in quality, the recipes had changed. My favorite asparagus/hollandaise crepe is now prepared with CHEDDAR instead of a milder white cheese. Anyone with even the most rudimentary culinary knowledge understands that a sharp cheese like cheddar is entirely incompatible with hollandaise sauce. They made the substitution when I asked for it, but even so, the indelicate, lumpen crepe I received bore no resemblance to the beautiful creations I've come to expect there.
This restaurant, which has been on my A-list for years, has dropped to C-level at best. With the advent of Paris Crepe just a few doors down, one would think this beloved Springs standby would be working to improve, not letting everything slip.
We have been regular patrons of Meadow Muffins for almost 3 years now and it stands out as the most enjoyable, high class, fun, entertaining and SAFE bar in old colorado city. The menu has changed and its a great place to eat, meet friends, enjoy reasonably priced drinks. I like that there are several bouncers around to keep the trouble makers out, unlike the competiting bar across the street that allows the usual fights inside and outside their business with no concern for the innocent regular customers. Meadow Muffins will always be our favorite place and our old friends and new one's to come in the years to come. The owner's are very welcoming and encourage any concerns you may have, which there are none. Lets help spread the word and everyone meet for the nightly entertainment...
Discovered this place 60 days ago, have eaten here 19 times since then! The best authentic dishes, along with some familiar favorites, quality is outsatnding! People are the happiest ,most warm I have ever met, very genuine. A must go to place, say hi to Leah, she always has a smile. I rate this a 10!
Mr. Al
I go to Flatirons each Monday to play poker. I find the food here especially delicious and very well prepared. The Flatiron steak is tender and cooked to perfection. The potatoes are a rare delight and the mac and cheese is to die for! I appreciate Megan and the other fine servers that are considerate and remember the menu items you enjoy. A lovely evening for anyone looking for good food and fellowship.
Excellent pub-style food and drinks, very friendly, informed and helpful staff, clean and very welcoming.
Unfortunately I must agree with Mr. Collins. We ate at this restaurant last week and had a very negative experience. The waiter did not seem to know how to serve plates or clear a table; he did not know the menu at all; he seemed quite confused about what we had ordered and served us the wrong things twice during our meal. The owner/manager stopped by and we explained what had happened. She became very upset, raised her voice, walked off in the middle of the conversation and sent us our check. Most of what occured I ascribe to poor management. The staff should be trained and informed on the menu before they serve customers. This is the responsibility of the owner/manager. She was beyond rude and dismissive, which seems to be a personality problem. We will not return.
The best BBQ in the springs! Great food, great prices, and a drive thru. If you haven't tried it yet you need to go.
New staff and new management have made some great improvements! I tried this restuarant again recently... and it was okay in the past.... but it is great now! The daily and weekly specials are great and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Thanks, Oakleys!
It's beautiful on the inside the staff was very friendly and one of the owners even brought my food out to me. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and it was outstanding. I always thought that it was best to start with the sauce and the meatballs to help me determine how good the Italian food is as this is a standard practice from my east coast background. I was very impressed and will be returning frequently as I look forward to eating more of the menu. BTW my friend had the lasagna and he insisted I taste it and we concur that this was easily the best lasagna in town.
food was less then average. I could have had a better tasting, tenderer tender steak sandwich. that was this year 1/30/2012. The week before that my friend and I both got raw rice with our meal with no comp or cooked rice. I think subway would have been a better meal. But their servers were awesome.
Thank you for opening your restaurant. I brought my sister in to Ficco's for lunch. She catered for many years and makes a mean lasagna herself. I make a great lasagna myself and I am super picky. I was so blown over by their lasagna recipe. It was mouth-watering delicious. My sister was so impressed that she ordered a to-go lasagna for her husband. They live in Denver and are food snobs. The interior was surprisingly beautiful and impressive and the service was phenomenal. I could not believe the portions and the prices. The food tasted so fresh. I could not resist their cannoli and had a couple more pieces to go. Again, thanks!
This place is awesome – the interior is beautiful, the prices are extremely reasonable, and the most important thing … the food is phenomenal AND you get a huge portion for the price. The bread baked in house melts in your mouth. The caprese offers huge beefsteak tomatoes and large pieces of fresh, soft mozzarella. The dishes are the bomb and it is because the passed down recipe for the sauce is outstanding!
I have eatin at this place and with the horrible service and food not up to even bar standards, they need help. They had a chef and new manager in the summer that had great ideas and service track to improve it, but the owner let them go and fast. Hired some guy that was let go too. How about we let the owner go and save this place!!! HIRE BACK THE HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM FROM SUMMER. How bad great place to be.
From Brooklyn, have been searching for great NY Style pizza and this is it! The crust, the sauce, the high quality of the toppings...all of it is great. I can't wait to go back!
Always the best best. great food great prices cheese bread is to die for.
It was an interesting experience for sure... The place is charming, but the four of us that went thought the food wasn't that amazing. Probably wouldn't come back.. We got their burger, the butternut squash ravioli, the trout, and the meatloaf... Interesting
The coffee itself is fine, but the owner, almost religiously expouses her alternative sexual lifestyle. I'm most bothered by the gay reading material strewn on the tables. Then she has "groups" come over and meet there. It's awkward to say in the least.
The only reason this is a one star is because I can't give a zero. I don't know any thing about the food, because Maya would not serve me. I walked in, properly attired and clean, after a day of Christmas shopping. I did not know how to order, so I walked up to the register. Maya gestured to a table, so I sat down and waited. I read Maya's life story on the inside of the menu and all about food=love=family. I waited and waited. There were only two other parties in the restaurant. Maya made repeated trips to both tables, but never said a word to me. Never greeted me, didn't seat me, didn't serve me. I walked out. No love for me and I don't know what I did to deserve being treated so badly.
