Shutdown day is back!
Shutdown day - http://www.shutdownday.org/ - is back. After holding it last year on March 24, they have decided to hold it this year, too. And it is on May 3rd, saturday.
It's simple. You just shutdown the computer for the whole day, and find something else to do.
Last year, too, there was a thread, with mainly divided opinion. Some said that they can't stay away from the computer, while some said that they could. There were yet some others with the opinion that they could do it if they wanted to, but they saw no point in doing such a thing.
As of now, on the home page of the site, it is 2805 who can vs 235 who can't. (I voted I can. )
Let's see how it turns out this year. Please vote on the poll. I also added an option of "what's the point"?
1) May 3rd is part of finals week for me, so there is zero possibility I can avoid a computer, as all of my physical classes have online resources (practice exams, homework, lectures etc). Although I would gladly trade finals week for a day without a computer.
2) The possible energy savings are dubious, part of the shutdownday.org site should be about using less energy during that day. For instance, if you drive somewhere to alleviate your boredom, you're probably using more energy than you would have otherwise.
3) I think this is a good idea, as long as the alternative is not to go and watch tv. It's really relaxing for me to go camping during the summer and have no possibility of being interrupted because of no cell/internet service.
I vote "What's the point?" . From the site:
I know I can do without a computer for a whole day (or more). On average I spend more than 8 hours behind the computer, but there are are days I don't use a computer at all. By choice or due to circumstances.
Maybe this is a usefull experiment for some people, who might realize they have become too dependent on their computer or are addicted. But those people won't participate in shutdown day anyway, I think.
Well, I know the point and I won't participate.
I know that I can live and act without a computer, there's no point for me to avoid it. Since I turned off all IM-stuff (you know, ICQ, MSN, AIM, Yahoo!, Jabber) for a week - and that's my personal no-IM week - I use the computer much less and I don't feel compelled to use it.
And because I don't play video games on my computer, there's no "addiction-threat" at all. Shutdown day for the geeks and career-maniacs.
I didn't participate last time, and I'm not sure if I will this time. May 3rd is around the time I'm expecting to have enough $$ for a video card and psu. If don't have them by then well I would be delighted to leave my PC off for the whole day. Ever since I started working, I haven't had much time to be on it anyway.
I can, but... why should I do it?
I mean, I don't spend more than 1 hour/day with my computer, sometimes, I don't even have time...
Besides, it's a really stupid idea.
I need my PCs for work. I can't afford to lose a day's money just because some nutter wants to know what would happen.
Let's have a "Don't-tell-anyone-what-to-do day" and see how that goes instead!
I do that 4 or 5 days a week anyway...
What's the big deal?
I don't need such an event to stay away from my computer for one day... Would be nice if they added television etc to it.
i voted for no, because i need to play like well
*still counting*
15 games a day, and that takes me about 10 hours a day.
today i've been on my pc for 13 hours, from 05:00 am to 18:00 pm, and i think another 3 hours will be added ._.
so i guess i can't stay away from my computer
Perhaps there is a purpose to such a day after all...
How about taking a long walk in the woods?
You're right! I've been wasting my life enjoying myself in front of my computer, producing games, poetry and even an unpublished novel in front of my computer, having some sad representation of a social life in front of my computer, when I should obviously be outside being bored out of my mind staring at trees and further exercising my already underweight body!
Your circumstances may vary.
File me under 'pointless', please.
I might have a go, just to see what happens.
may 3rd, i jst cannot afford to shutdown my computers as i have to send bills to my clients, so may be if electricity goes off ill not boot my computer [:d]
I didn't participate in last year's shutdown day. I don't think I'd be participating this year as well. Though, I think I might since I have a date with a friend on May 3rd so it's highly likely that I won't be at home.
Lol in my opinion shutdownday is just an ebayer's silly scheme. But out of 10,000,000,000 people I doubt 10,000 will participate. Not a big dent; you won't be buying any PS3s for $100.
I will yet again shut down my computer for this wonderful day. Maybe it will be nice out.
Ghost Rider103
I can deffiniately do it, since some days, and even longer than days I do not even get a chance to get on the computer at all.
Will I do it? Well I can't really say at the moment, it depends on what I have planned comming up for that day. If I don't have anything planned, and am just staying home, well then I will probably be on the computer, since there is never anything on T.V.
I could do it, tho I am not sure if I will participate.
Agent ME
I participate every time there's a power outage, so I think I've done a good job so far
No way, I need to think about my uptime and webserver.
Agent ME
I think it would be hilarious if a power company or ISP had said it was going to participate in this type of thing as an underthought-publicity thing.
I'd do it, but I have to edit my video project. <.<; Except for that though, I guess I could, although it'd destroy the whole point.
Don't really need a set date to step away from my computer though <.<;; Okay, maybe I do..

I love the irony of coordinating such an 'event' via internet.
Most days are now 'shutdown day' for me seeing as my computer decided to die on me. I am getting more reading done now, which seems to be the one advantage of not having my own machine.
Hmm...I'm quite ashamed of myself right now. I completely forgot about the event when it came. I had remembered about it in May 2nd, but I completely forgot about it after coming back from school. It was the day when the school closed, so I guess I forgot.
I have no excuse. I admit it, I am pretty embarassed.
The idea seems pretty silly now when computers are a so integral part of our lives. It's like having a "Don't use a screwdriver" day or a "Don't wear a shirt" day or even "Don't use electricity" day. People pay bills, buy airline tickets, check in to their flights, work overtime from home and many other necessary things on their computers. It MIGHT make more sense to have a "Don't play computer games/TV games" day. And wher edo you stop at the definition of computers? There are computers in most cars these days - so you wouldn't drive that day. Computer controlled air-conditioning? Turn it off the night before. Computer controlled freezer? TV? Cooker? Sewing machine?......
I just get a page not found error when I try to visit the page you linked to.
Could someone explain it further? Is the whole idea just to keep away from your computer for one day?
What is the reason? Is it environmental, for instance?
I think I would manage it quite easily, but not when I am forced to use pc on school.
what is the point in it?
what are people trying to achieve bye doing this?
I think everyone could do without their computers for one day if they really needed to I mean a computer is only a computer and nobody would die if they couldn't log on to a PC for 24 hours.
I came two days late. I would have wanted to do and coincidently that day was one of those days that I didn't use my computer that much. But I still didn't keep it shut down the whole time.
Hey guys its good to shutdown our computers its save energy and electricity ..
yup its good to shutdown..
but how about those geeks in this world gonna survive..?
I wonder how they gonna get through the day..
Common man lets support ..yes to SHUTDOWN DAY SAVE EARTH SAVE ENERGY...
Lets have a "Turn off your air condition day* instead.
If one family did it they would save about as much money as if 10-20 people didn't use their computers.
Or even a *Let's not let the coffee maker idle* day would save alot more.
Seriously, I've been keeping track of my computer/Monitor/Router/Speakers power usage for months, and it barely goes over 140Watt at all.
@ everyone else : The 'official' day is over, although I personally feel that it might be good to have an unofficial day for each of us to stay away from the computer.
@HamsterMan : Although power conservation is one of the objectives, the main reason for this day is to advocate the ill effects of spending a lot of time on the computer. So the power usage is not actually important.

Unlike machinery, people need context for why they're asked to do things, even if it's in their best interest for health. If management simply imposes a policy of health benefits tied to participation in HRAs and targeted interventions, there may be short-term compliance. But there's a good chance the population will never embrace this model or see it as a positive aspect of employment. More likely, it will be perceived as restrictive, even meddlesome, and be unsustainable over the long term.
Whether your program is new or you've been around for a while, the basics are the same. To achieve compliance as well as have positive impact on your culture — the only path to sustainability — you need a model that raises awareness, educates, inspires action, and supports long-term change.
Awareness. Awareness-raising tools range from health portals, emails, online surveys/contests, interactive games, and blogs to old school newsletters, posters, fliers, and department presentations. A general awareness of health throughout the organization is the basis of a good program… the foundation for your other efforts.
Education. These are the initiatives that separate your program from infomercials. Whether in the classroom, through online interactive learning and phone coaching, or by old-fashioned face-to-face counseling, solid and credible education opportunities give your program substance.
Inspiration. Knowing isn't enough. Good health is achieved through doing. The objective is to get your population moving in the right direction long enough to personally experience the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Good habits need to become part of who they are, not something that will require external motivation forever. Incentive campaigns, group/team programs, friendly competitions, and health recognition awards are all types of inspiration that can be part of the mix.
Support. Sustaining health requires organization support. This means everything from vacation, overtime, and sick leave policies to healthy cafeteria foods, supervisors trained in wellness basics and ergonomically sound workstations. Management, unions, HR, health promotion, and individual workers all play a role in creating a supportive environment.
These 4 elements of a well-run health promotion program are needed simply because health improvement doesn't occur in a straight line. Each individual's readiness to make a behavior change is unique in terms of timing and motivation — whether they're at risk or not. Achieving the right balance of these basics provides the context for everyone at any stage of readiness, and is the way to long-term program success.

7 May: A momentable day, in more than one way
Very quietly, but most unconditionally, what's left of the Third Reich following the death of Adolf Hitler surrenders one and all to the Allies, following the relentless, smothering Allied press into the heart of Germany. The rump Fensburg government of Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz—the surprise successor der Fuehrer named in the hours before his death, who knew in his heart that the Third Reich's days were numbered almost in single digits when he took over—has lasted ten days since Hitler's suicide.

EOF was never "tied" to WebObjects during the ObjC days. EOF was always available to any application interested in it's power. It was only later when we merged with Apple that it got a back seat and rerouted to WOF, specifically.

Personally, I hope the two interns who invented EOF at NeXT, and later founded RunningStart, are working with Apple once again.

There were plenty of warnings that Merkel's flood of Syrian refugees would lead to ISIS attacks in Europe. Nowit's hitting home in Germany.
Germany's prosecutors said three Syrians have been arrested for planning an "Islamic State" attack on Düsseldorf's historic city center. A fourth terrorist was taken into custody by French authorities in February.
The alleged strategy was for two suicide attackers to detonate their vests in Düsseldorf's historic city hub. Afterwards, additional attackers were to shoot and kill as many passersby as possible with guns and explosive devices.
According to prosecutors, Abd Arahman A. K., who had experience creating suicide vests and grenades for the al Nusra Front group in Syria, was to make the suicide vests. The plot was thwarted when Saleh A. turned himself in to prosecutors in Paris with details of the plan on February 1.
German prosecutors said two of the accused had joined IS in Syria in 2014 and received instructions from IS leadership to attack Düsseldorf. One of the three had traveled to Europe as part of the huge number of refugees that entered Germany last summer, officials told the German news agency dpa.
Refugees welcome.
He came to Germany via Greece and Turkey and made an asylum application in the eastern town of Bliesdorf last September. He then disappeared for about five months and showed up again at the refugee home last Wednesday to claim his 390-euro benefit.
He appears to have filed the application on September 11.

Stuttgart striker Cacau not planning to retire but unsure of new contract
Stuttgart's experienced striker Cacau is keeping his options open regarding his future, but has no plans to retire.
By Thomas Zocher
Last Updated: 18/10/13 9:30pm
Cacau has spent the past decade with Stuttgart and signed a new one-year deal back in March after spending a spell out injured last season with damaged knee ligaments.
The 32-year-old has struggled for regular football this term and has yet to start a game in the Bundesliga.
He has no intention of quitting for several more years, but concedes he may leave Stuttgart when his contract expires.
"My spirit lingers on," the former Germany international told BILD. "In terms of ambition, I model myself on Ze Roberto.
"He is almost 40 years of age, but still doing it on the pitch like he is just 18 years of age. Maybe I am also able to achieve this.
"The only thing for sure is that I will not retire at the end of the season.
"I may sign a new contract at Stuttgart. Or I may move clubs and join a foreign-based outfit."

Divide and conquer.
Hats off to everyone who's downloaded the console, logged into the backend, and submitted fits for the HD 69830 data sets. The process now seems to be working smoothly, but we need more users. Don't be shy! We won't make fun of you if you turn in high-chi-square fits.
First, a follow-up note to yesterday's post: Some of our original HD 69830-based data files did not have all their radial velocities listed in time-ascending order. This caused the periodogram generator to fail when asked to analyze these data sets. If you downloaded the console yesterday, please download a fresh copy. The version on the site now has the correctly bundled data files.
The published radial velocity data sets consist of lists of times (in Julian Days), radial velocities (relative to an average baseline velocity), and uncertainty estimates for each velocity. These uncertainty estimates give an indication of how much imprecision is introduced at the telescope and by the measurement process itself. An additional source of velocity error, generally referred to as stellar jitter, is not contained in the published uncertainty estimates. Stellar jitter is produced by various processes that are occurring on the star itself. For example, at any given moment in time, there may be a larger portion of the stellar surface upwelling than downwelling, leading to a slight, temporary, net negative radial velocity. It has generally been assumed that for a Solar-type star, stellar jitter contributes roughly 3-5 meters per second of radial velocity error, and it is certainly true that stars somewhat more massive than the Sun (Upsilon Andromedae, for example) display close to 10 meters per second of intrinsic jitter.
Recently, however, as the radial velocity observational techniques have improved, it has become clear that some stars — low mass stars in particular — can have very small intrinsic jitter. Eugenio's analysis of the GJ 876 radial velocities indicate that the jitter in that case is almost certainly less than 2-3 meters per second. HD 69830, however, seems to be in another category altogether. The published three-planet fit suggests that the star has considerably less than 1 meter per second intrinsic jitter. If this is indeed the case, and if there are a sizeable number of stars that are as quiet as HD 69830 seems to be, then it's clear that high-cadence observations using the RV method are destined to eventually uncover potentially habitable planets, and likely sooner, rather than later. That's a big deal.
The twenty alternate data sets for HD 69830 have been constructed to help us test whether the stellar jitter is really as small as the fit to the actual data suggests. Some of the synthetic data sets have been produced by adopting a model in which the stellar jitter is higher than 1 m/s. It should not be possible to find fully correct chi-square ~ 1 fits to these jittery data sets. In other words if we do find chi-square ~ 1 fits to these sets, then we've got a strong suggestion that overfitting might be occuring in the chi-square ~ 1 fits to the real data.
I'll wrap up today with a set of screenshots showing how the backend environment operates. The best way to learn how it works, however, is to login and start using it. It's quite self-explanatory.
After you've uploaded a fit from your own computer, you'll get a response page that looks like this if the upload was successful:
Make sure that your fit file is appended with the suffix ".fit" before you upload it.
If you click on "view systems", you'll see a list of all the systems that have been added to the console thus far. All of the fits that have been uploaded by the systemic collaboration can be accessed from this catalog page. As of tonight, most of the systems have not yet been fitted…
Clicking on a system name brings up the corresponding system data page. There's quite a bit of information available:
If you click on the icon next to a particular fit:
Then information about the planetary system corresponding to that fit is displayed:

Past Reviews
Off Broadway Reviews
Over the course of nearly two intermissionless hours, we observe how a group of supposedly disconnected people are, in fact, as close as human beings can and must be. Yet their relationships are defined almost entirely by their off moments: less what they say to each other than what they say about each other, not what they do when action is required but what they do before and after the incident in question. Doran paints such a shockingly full picture of this group, it's hard at times to remember that she uses almost no direct strokes. Or, as a character states late in the play when trying to help another find herself: "Seemingly insignificant details result in beauty."
In that way, the unusual Kin most deftly recalls Annie Baker's Circle Mirror Transformation, one of the best plays of 2009, which related an intricate interconnection of feelings among five people who never said exactly what they meant. That play was also produced by Playwrights Horizons and, hardly coincidentally, directed by Gold, who with other works as diverse as The Coward and Dusk Rings a Bell, is rapidly assuming his role as the most valuableand most vividdirector of understatement in New York.
Gold's talents are exactly what this play needs. At first, all it seems that early-30s lovers Anna (Kristen Bush) and Sean (Patch Darragh) have in common are their disappointing past relationships, she with a professor colleague in Columbia University's English department, he with a self-abusive girl who almost literally drank herself to death. They don't even share cultural backgrounds: She's American, the daughter of an Army colonel and a mother who died many years earlier; he's a personal trainer, raised by a mother who suffered a personal tragedy when he was a boy, and nearly destroyed the entire family as a result. Because Doran keeps them apart almost entirely, we do not see how their union could ever work out.
To communicate the evolution of Anna and Sean's partnership over seven years almost entirely from the wingswe never see the couple meet, date, or sleep together, for exampledemands not just outstanding actors, but a keen understanding of the flow of unstated emotions that drive all the elation and heartbreak everyone must endure. Gold possesses this quality in abundance, letting it run wild only in isolated moments, as when Anna is sparring with her father, Adam (Cotter Smith), over a cryptic entry in her mother's diary. Otherwise, the control is extraordinary, with the most powerful scenes being the most unexpected: Helena's near-breakdown at Anna's launch party, Sean's last-ditch reunion with his self-destructive ex (Molly Ward), and, most movingly, Linda conveying her earned but uneasy grace to Anna and her father just before the kids marry.
Bertish may give the most sculpted and satisfying performance, so gently modulating Linda's evolution from despondency to reignited hope in the world that her journey (again, conducted almost entirely in the background) becomes its own explosive subplot. But Bush and Darragh are charming as the reluctant lovers, she a picture of city-weary smartness and he embodying the essence of old-world know-how. Smith, Ward, and Kit Flanagan, as Adam's dying friend Kay, strike the cleanest and clearest notes in their roles as the more serious onlookers. Buell, Heisler, and Matthew Rauch, playing both Anna's ex and Helena's unwitting backwoods savior, tend to pile on the comedy a bit too strongly.
But they're reined in for the most part by Gold and Doran, working in splendid concert to keep each of the play's 20 breezy scenes resolutely real. Even designers Paul Steinberg (set) and Jane Cox (lights), get into the act, morphing the frame-like wagon on which most of the play unfolds into an eerily accurate vista of the cliffs of Donegal for the evening's climax. Flooding the stage with dark and mist, they change the theater from a place capable of holding everything and everywhere into a microscope that can examine only these two worthy people at the beginning of their exciting and terrifying adventure together.
Anna and Sean's problem is the one that can easily afflict us all: getting lost in life merely by living it. All they can see are the little things that never worked out, the disappointments that can so easily drive them to despair. Gold and Doran, however, keep our gaze fixed on what matters most. "It's awful, isn't it?" Anna asks, soon after she and Sean first meet. "Getting to know someone." Maybe that's the case in the real world. But in the rarefied universe of Kin, it's nothing short of magical.

Weddings with details like Kevin and Jennifer's always deserve two posts, since there were so many beautiful things to share from their day! These two had quite possibly the most perfect wedding day. It was a cool, breezy, 70-degree day in June, which complimented their casual backyard wedding so well. From handmade signs, to blue mason jars, to good ol' southern cooking, to fireworks at night, the day was everything Kevin and Jennifer had hoped and more. I loved Jennifer's simple and elegant dress and the flowers on the cake? Completely edible! I'll be sharing more photos next week, but I wanted to give you a glimpse at all the awesome details Jennifer and her family put together. Can't wait for you to see the rest!Thank you to my sweet friend Jenny for being an incredible second shooter!

Season totals: 2 GP, 0-1-1, 0 SO, 4.82 GAA, 70/80 (.875 SV%)
After losing his SM-Liiga debut to HPK in overtime Tuesday night, locked-out Lightning G Anders Lindback and his Ilves teammates were beaten like a drum Thursday night by SaiPa, which jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead and never looked back. Jyrki Jokipakka, with his first goal of the night, got Ilves within one just 24 seconds into the second period but SaiPa quickly countered and, by the end of the regulation, had rattled off five more goals to complete the onslaught. Ilves is next in action on Saturday against the Espoo Blues.

Is Google the global leader in maps? Nokia's Conversations blog today popped up with a comparison of Nokia Maps - based on its Here platform - and Google Maps and says.... well, you'd expect this. No, Nokia is best.
Behind the scenes Nokia appears to be undertaking a global laser-based mapping exercise designed to give it superior mapping data.
....the critical feature is a rotating sensor called Lidar (light detection and ranging) which uses 64 lasers to capture 1.3 million points of digital information every second of each vehicle's journey
In the meantime Nokia is making a play of its better offline mapping functionality (see the video below).
Nokia has traditionally been poor at communicating its user benefits, especially compared to its American competitors. 15 years of industry leadership lulled the company into arrogance and complacency. But it has been trying to break out and become better at building up its own heroics.
My view is they will have to work harder than this though to be convincing - by which I principally mean get the apps into the hands of other people who are going to write about it rather than rely on the Nokia blog.
And tell better stories about the Here platform's success - for example it powers all local search for Toyota car's navigation services, and includes user generated content around points of interest.
Nokia has a great mapping heritage, especially from the Navteq acquisition onwards. And those who know the company of old will remember it was Nokia who first began to dream about digitizing everyday life. That's why they pioneered the use of high quality cameras in their phones.
I hope maps mean Nokia is back but until they really grasp the importance of creating the information layer around their products, I fear they will continue to struggle. The difference between success and share price stagnation is how well they help create the information layer around the future of the digitized self. It is there to be done.

At one part of the Fort York National Historic Site in Toronto, visitors look out to a landscape of urban blight – rail tracks, industrial buildings with graffiti. This spring, visitors to the landmark site will have the option of seeing something very different: That very location as it existed in the 1750s, a sylvan vista, deer frolicking in the woods, while across a stream, a native couple are on a canoe – the man spear-fishing, the woman crooning a song to the fish to rise from the water.

I have written about how bad this stuff is many times on this site. Today my daughter sent me a link to a site that I had not seen before that actually defends HFCS! I don't want to give them a link here, but if you look for hfcsfactsdotcom, you will find it.
A close look shows the site belongs to The Corn Refiners Association. Enough said about that. Stay away from HFCS and all products that contain it. Your health will be better for avoiding it like the plague.

Yseter, October 21st, is the big European launch of Windows Phone 7, where the USA needs to wait for a few weeks. In the Netherlands there are three devices that hit the stores today: (1) HTC Trophy, (2) Samsung Omnia 7 and (3) LG Optimus 7.
Despite the Netherlands are not a -first- launch market, it is possible to access the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace and download or install applications. This how to article will describe how to access Marketplace for Windows Phone 7 from the Netherlands or other non-first-launch countries !
Control panel – Current location
The first important setting to change on your Windows 7 PC is the current location. You can access this setting in your control panel via:
- Start
- Control panel
- Region and Language
- Location tab
- Change current location
As you can see in the screenshot above I have changed my location to United States, so I can access the Windows Phone 7 marketplace in the USA !
If you leave this setting the same as your country in a non-first-launch market, you simply won't be able to access the marketplace from your Windows PC.
Create a Windows Live ID with a US address
The second step in the process is creating a new Windows Live ID with a US address (or another first-launch country, like the United Kingdom or Germany).
Go to mail.live.com and choose for the option to sign-up for a new Windows Live account;
Country, state and zipcode during the set-up process are required from a US address;
Accept and create the Windows Live ID;
Use this website to find your zipcode and address in the United States! Joost van Schaik, Senior Software Architect GIS/ASP.NET, uses www.msn.com for the same procedure of creating a Windows Live ID.
When the Windows Live ID with US address is successfully created, you will be redirected to the inbox of the fresh created Windows Live Mail account !
Install Zune software 4.7
Go to the Zune website and download the Zune software to your Windows PC. Double click on the ZuneSetupPkg.exe and install the Zune software on your notebook.
Recently I have written an article about the upgrade of Zune software 4.2 to Zune software 4.7. Both the upgrade and fresh installationprocess are very similar, so I would like to recommend the Zune software 4.7 Installation article where you can see the different steps of the installation.
The installation is plug-and-play with a single click !
Sign-in with you Windows Live ID
When you start the Zune software for the first time, you will get a first launch video. However you can choose to skip this one via the button in the right bottom corner.
Start the configuration process by hitting the start button and use the recommended settings of the Zune software.
The screenshot above shows you the main screen of the Zune software. In the upper right corner you can see the pink zune logo, with the text sign-in on the left.
You need to enter the credentials of the recently created Windows Live ID with the US address.
In order to complete the sign-in process, you need to enter so additional information of you Zune account.
Remark the fields in the screenshot above, that consist of the Country: United States, Language: English and a Postal code from the US as well. In the Zune Account Info screenshot above you need to enter your birthday, otherwise can't the sign-in process be completed. I must admit that I overlooked this setting, but got notified when I clicked the accept button.
You need to select the Zune social settings, and click on the next button.
Enter the Zune tag, how you will be known in the Zune social community. In the example is the Zune tag "mobilityminded". The account will be created now, till you see the last screen of the sign-in process.
The Zune account is created successfully ! Hit the finish button to start browsing apps for Windows Phone 7. Go to marketplace and select apps from the sub-menu !
You are now ready to install Windows Phone 7 applications like: Seesmic for Windows Phone 7, Foursquare for Windows Phone 7, Facebook for Windows Phone 7 and many more helpful applications.
Summary and concluding thoughts
This how to article consists of a lot of pictures, and it might look more complicated than it is. The whole process consists of 6 main steps, which I have summarized below:
- Change current location to United States;
- Create a Windows Live ID with a US address;
- Install Zune software 4.7
- Sign-in with the created
- Create a Windows Live ID with a US address;
- Configure the Zune account (for example enter your birthday, zune tag, etc.);
Because I have been using a Zune HD for the past year, I have gone to a similar process. An international Zune usersguide, written by Jason Dunn Editor in Chief of Thoughtsmedia and Windows Phone MVP has helped me to get the Zune HD connected to the Marketplace. It won't be a big surprise to see the similarities in both the tutorials !

J.R. Holden doesn't want to think about all the political talk sparked by his playing at the 2005 EuroBasket.
"I try to keep out of political situations," said Holden, Russia's American-born point guard who received a Russian passport in 2003 by order of Vladimir Putin himself.
"Of course it's exciting to play at a European Championships as an American. But people often forget that it's still about basketball - and I've been playing long enough."
The Bucknell graduate advanced gradually through the ranks of European basketball with stops in Latvia, Belgium and Greece before arriving at Russian powerhouses CSKA Moscow.
|Jon Robert Holden
The Russian powers that be decided to grant Holden special citizenship after three years - normally it would take five years - to strengthen their backcourt.
"I was really surprised. It was discussed for a long time but never seriously. But it's an honour and a priviledge that Russia wants an American to represent them," Holden said.
Before arriving in Vrsac, Holden played five games with the Russian team.
And he loves playing at EuroBasket.
"I play to win - whether that's street ball or a game of pool in the hotel. I want to win. And since the Russians chose me, I will give it my best for them," he said.
Zakhar Pashutin, who's played with the Russian national team since 1997 and with Holden for two seasons at CSKA, enjoys having the short American around.
"He's a very great player, and we needed a player like him. He gives us some more power on the break," he said.
When asked if it's strange that an American is playing for Russia, Pashutin remarked: "It's normal, why? Maybe we need him coming here so that young Russian players can see him. Maybe we won't need him in the future."
Russian coach Sergey Babkov added: "He's a very good guard, a versatile one as well. And we don't have any better in Russia at the moment.
But does Holden play Russian or American basketball?
"There are no differences. He plays basketball very good," was Babkov's answer.
Holden said playing with and against NBA stars at this tournament serve as a motivation.
And what if Russia were to qualify for the 2006 World Championships and faced the United States?
"Even though I don't like to think too far in advance. But if that were to happen, it would be great. Knocking out the Americans would be great."

Crystal Palace's Kwesi Appiah set for Aldershot Town loan move
K. Appiah
Crystal Palace striker Kwesi Appiah is set for a loan move to Aldershot Town today.
21-year-old Appiah will gain some beneficial experience under Shots manager and former Wimbledon forward Dean Holdsworth.
"He's going to go there to get some games. He'll probably have to go there and play well for them (to shoot them up the table)," Palace boss Dougie Freedman told Advertiser Sport on Wednesday:
"It's probably 100 per cent certain he'll go there today."

TONY Windsor cited the health condition of another MP as a reason to resign after this week announcing his decision to not contest the next federal election.
On an eventful day in Canberra on Wednesday, which ended with Kevin Rudd defeating Julia Gillard in a leadership ballot to become prime minister again, Mr Windsor announced he would end his 22-year political career at the next federal election.
Another MP bowing out is Liberal Member for Hume, Alby Schultz, who is battling cancer. He made his valedictory speech to the House of Representatives on Tuesday after representing the southern NSW electorate of Hume for 15 years.
Prior to that he was the State Member for Burrinjuck, giving his political career a 34-year span.
On Wednesday Mr Windsor gave his valedictory speech to the House after a career in both state and federal politics.
"Alby Schultz and I have been good mates for 22 years," Mr Windsor said.
"We've had some dust-ups over the years and some great fun, but he only ran in 2010 to keep the Nationals out of the seat.
"I had a meeting with him a couple of times and said 'Alby don't do it, don't do it, you know you're doing for the wrong reasons. Get out, go and enjoy yourself'.
"Now he's full of cancer. He spoke very well, but I've been thinking about him for weeks, and I though, aw, jees."
Mr Schultz's hatred for the Nationals is almost legendary within political circles, however he did confirm his friendship with Mr Windsor during his speech.
"I won by one vote with the assistance of the Independent sitting there, my old mate Tony Windsor, and the Labor members of the committee," Mr Schultz told the House.
Mr Windsor said that was the main reason he made the point about the job not being everything.
"I love the job, but I don't want to love it until death," he said.
"I think it's the best time to get out when you're running at 100 miles an hour, rather than sitting there waiting for the day to come along when you're going to retire. If I ran again it would definitely be my last term.
"I've never been in politics just to be around for the sake of it."
Mr Windsor said his decision to retire had nothing to do with Rob Oakeshott's decision to do the same.
"I said to him on Monday I wanted to have a yarn to him on Tuesday," Mr Windsor said.
"A bit after lunch on Tuesday I got in touch with him and said 'let's go for a walk, I've got something I want to talk to you about'.
"I mentioned it to him and told him I was going make an announcement and he said 'You bugger, I'm doing the same thing!' and I'm pleased for him too, a young family and whatever, he's worked extraordinarily hard."
Mr Windsor said his decision was not based on any concerns he may lose the coming election.
"Quite the opposite. I don't want to get into the politics of people or anything, but we've been doing a bit of polling over the time and I've been privy to a number of polls here and there. I think I would have won the seat, but I'm not interested in standing just to win the seat," Mr Windsor said.
Mr Windsor said the last three years had been an extraordinary experience.
"I've loved it. I wouldn't have missed it for quids," Mr Windsor said.
Family, health and a lack of desire to be in the Parliament in three year's time were the other factors Mr Windsor gave on Wednesday for his decision.

The Villa Times - 16/10/2012
Unoial Villa News...
Grizzly Villa... I feel I must roundly and astutely bat away mutterings of abandoning out spiritual home to land developers in favour of a bowl stadium in the east side of the city. Such arguments have grown from disgruntle ground in the last few seasons as the east side development of the city takes place. Since Villa Park first rose out from a Victorian amusement park in 1897 it has grown, through modernisation to become one of the most famous and recognisable stadiums in the country, a UEFA 5 star rated stadium and home to a football team born in 1894, the founding father of the league.

Fabian Delph has declared that this is the best he has felt for a long time following his injury issues. Speaking to the Official Site after being called into the breach on a number of occasions by new manager Paul Lambert, Delph said he was again enjoying his football and physical it's the best he's felt for a long time, so he wants that to translate into much better form and consistency now - which to be fair is why he has his doubters in the fanbase as he either looks brilliant or the moment, or very lightweight and anonymous.

The delivery of Sarah Jane Seymour will make early January an especially festive time of year in Cheryl and Mark Seymour's house in Ottawa.
After all, celebration of Sarah's first birthday next year will be followed by her father's birthday on Jan. 4 and her mother's on Jan. 6.
Sarah, born at 7:35 a.m. Wednesday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, was the first baby born in Lawrence in 1992. She weighed 6 pounds, 5 ounces and was 19 inches.
"It's been interesting," Mrs. Seymour said today. "She's real cute."
Mrs. Seymour didn't expect to give birth to her third child until later this month, but Sarah had other plans.
"This was a big surprise," she said, "since the other two were real late."
Sarah has two sisters, Rachel, 6, and Rebekah, 2. Sarah's siblings are excited about the prospect of having a new playmate, Mrs. Seymour said.
"They're all excited," she said. "They came up last night. I sent my oldest daughter home with a picture of her (Sarah) for show-and-tell."
After the birth Wednesday morning, Mr. Seymour said his wife and new daughter were doing well.
"Well, like any father, I would have liked to have a boy, but I think a girl is fine," he said.
Mrs. Seymour is a state social worker in Ottawa and her husband is a construction worker in Ottawa.
The child's paternal grandparents are Bert and Gladys Fewins of Savonburg. Her maternal grandparents are Bill and Marilyn Seymour of Ottawa.

Since the Gulf War over a decade ago, sanctions have tried to prevent Iraq from openly purchasing many things, particularly weapons materiel.
But no sanctions, and no United Nations resolution, have been able to stop Saddam Hussein from buying his most precious commodity.
That's essentially all he is doing in announcing a sudden willingness to entertain U.N. weapons inspectors again.
He hasn't seen the light. He's only seen the writing on the wall.
And judging from the initial response of gullible and sympathetic U.N. members - basically that Iraq is doing the world a favor and, gee, it looks like our problems are over - Saddam has done it again. The Arab League, in particular, has (not surprisingly) chosen to swallow Saddam's obvious ploy hook, line and sinker.
Saddam may indeed be ready to allow inspectors unfettered and unconditional access. He may choose not to expel them the moment they trip over some clue that he is harboring chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. This may somehow be a new era in relations between Iraq and the civilized world.
Then again, U.N. inspectors just might find the Great Pumpkin if they poke around in a really sincere pumpkin patch.
Let's not fool ourselves, or let Saddam fool the world. This latest cynical maneuver is nothing new. This is Saddam. And that means trouble.
Credit President George W. Bush for smoking out Saddam Hussein. Mr. Bush's forceful and courageous speech to a skeptical U.N. last week seemed to move that oddly intransigent entity into near-action - no doubt forcing the Iraqi leader's hand.
But more than a decade of sleight-of-hand tricks later, the world should be smarter than to believe that Saddam has any intention of cooperating now.
The only difference is that now the stakes are higher than ever. Each day that passes is another closer to the day that the world's most dangerous sociopath wields a nuclear weapon.
After seeing its resolutions flouted for more than a decade, the United Nations must not allow Saddam Hussein the luxury of one extra day simply because he now says he is willing to give an inch. If the world body is susceptible to being suckered again, you can at least count on the Bush administration, thankfully, to hold Saddam's feet to the fire.
Someone certainly needs to. Even with his announced willingness to let inspectors in, Saddam is bound to delay, distract and obfuscate. He's not trying to cooperate; he's trying to buy time.
Saddam's open attempt to outflank the opposition should not be allowed to win him one additional hour to pursue weapons of mass destruction. The world community needs to set a tight deadline for his full compliance and stick by it.
In the meantime, savvy observers will expect the worst. Saddam has rarely failed to deliver that.

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has published "Juveniles Who Commit Sex Offenses Against Minors," the latest in its Crimes Against Children bulletin series.
The bulletin presents population-based epidemiological information about the characteristics of juvenile offenders who commit sex offenses against minors. The authors analyze data from the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System to describe the characteristics of the juvenile sex offender population who have come to the attention of law enforcement. Key findings include:
- Juveniles account for more than one-third (36 percent) of those known to police to have committed sex offenses against minors.
- Juveniles who commit sex offenses against other children are more likely than adult sex offenders to offend in groups, at schools, and to have more male and younger victims.
Findings may support the development of research-based interventions and policies to reduce sexual assault and child molestation as perpetrated by juvenile offenders.
"Juveniles Who Commit Sex Offenses Against Minors" (NCJ 227763) is available online at www.ojjdp.ncjrs.gov/publications/PubAbstract.asp?pubi=249770.

SALT LAKE CITY — Jamaal Tinsley has had a rough couple of days.
On Thursday, Tinsley had a wisdom tooth extracted.
The backup point guard was sent home early from practice on Friday in pain and was excused again before Saturday's shootaround ended. He attended the Jazz's game against the Clippers but could barely speak and didn't play.
"He didn't look good this morning," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin admitted.
Media didn't get to see him in the morning, but a puffy-cheek Tinsley looked miserable in the locker room on Saturday night.
Unable to easily speak because of inflammation in his mouth, Tinsley nodded, shook his head and quietly mumbled a few inaudible words to explain that he was in too much agony to take to the court Saturday.
While he feels for his teammate, no doubt, Al Jefferson had an easier time in 2009 when his wisdom teeth were yanked out.
"It wasn't that bad," Jefferson said. "I got them out and I kind of recovered the next day."
Tinsley only wishes that were the case.
He's been bothered by this nagging tooth problem since the Jazz opened camp almost three weeks ago. In fact, Tinsley missed Media Day on Oct. 1 because of this mouth problem (and you know it had to be serious for an NBA player to miss out on an opportunity to talk to sports writers).
Thursday was a rare day off at home for the Jazz, so it made sense for Tinsley's tooth to be taken care of then.
It's uncertain when Tinsley will return to action. The Jazz practice this morning and play at Portland on Monday night.
HIGH INTENSITY: Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin enjoyed how the Jazz had a physical and hard-fought preseason game against the Clippers on Wednesday — an intensity that was duplicated in Saturday's 99-91 home win.
"We have two players that played there last year," Corbin said, referring to Mo Williams and Randy Foye. "The West is going to be that way all year long."
Also, the Jazz hope to make their mark as a tough-nosed team.
"Some teams have some emotion about playing each other for whatever reason that it is," Corbin said. "We're just playing hard and we're looking to create that identity every night we step on the floor."
A GOOD RAP: Mo Williams jokingly shared some rap lyrics with media after shootaround Saturday morning, something about, well, you'll have to ask him.
New team motto?
"No, no, no," Williams said, laughing.
The starting point guard then looked at a big sign on the wall in the arena tunnel between the Jazz locker room and the court entrance.
"The team motto," he said, "is 'We Are Utah Jazz.' "
The marketing department will sing (maybe rap?) his praises for knowing that.
WATCHING WOES: NBA TV picked up Saturday's Clippers-Jazz game. Only problem? Many fans in Utah couldn't watch it because the game was blacked out on some providers.
Only one of Utah's final two preseason games will be televised. The Jazz game at Portland on Monday will be on ROOT Sports. The two teams' rubber match Thursday at EnergySolutions Arena will not be on TV.

Next week, I'll find something else to write about: maybe some migratory bird sightings or a polka Video of the Week segment. But I'm still decompressing the election.
The Oakland A's: Their main man, Bob Wasserman won for mayor; his main woman, Sue Chan, won for City Council, and the A's didn't spend a cent to make it happen.
The Mayor: Wasserman avenges his 1996 loss to Gus Morrison, and picks up another ally on the council. He's not an arm-twister, but he does have two folks who will be inclined to agree with him most of the time. And, come December, he won't have give any cross looks in outgoing Conuncilman Steve Cho's direction.
The City Manager: Wasserman and Fred Diaz go back to Tracy together, and they often see things the same way. If Morrison Cho had won, Diaz might have been updating his resume.
Bob Wieckowski: He's the top vote-getter for City Council, and now he's perfectly positioned to head off to Sacramento in two years to take over for his law office mate, Assemblyman AlbertoTorrico.
Kristi Yamaguchi: The Olympic gold medalist's gal, Sue Chan, won for City Council and her parents' picks for Washington Hospital also won. Wonder if she'd give it all away for a Mitt Romney victory in 2012.
For more winners and losers, click where it says to click
Nancy Farber: It was an uglier election fight than usual, but the Washington Hospital CEO still has a loyal board intact. And, this post is probably the last time you'll hear about the movie "Life For Sale," at least until Evelyn Li's medical board hearing next year.
Sue Chan: Community connections trump the Democratic machine. Or at least for what passes in Fremont for a political machine. Spending more than 90k on a council race probably didn't hurt either.
John Dutra: The former Assemblyman turned political sugar daddy went six for seven. Wasserman, Wieckowski and Chan on the council, Bonaccorsi and Cox on the Ohlone College Board and Gebhardt on the school board. The only miss was Desrie Campbell for school board.
Ohlone College: Bye bye Bob Brunton.
Citizens for Better Community: Is it a community service group or a political group? I don't know, but the predominantly Chinese-American service organization sure does field a lot of candidates. This year it had mixed results. Sue Chan won for council and so did Lily Mei and Ivy Wu for school board. But Steve Cho lost for mayor, and David Sheen got creamed in the Ohlone College race.
Vinnie Bacon: Bacon nearly led the rump of the failed Measure K campaign to a seat the council. And, as the vote now stands, the guy with the talking dog is leading the gal with all the endorsements. Lift a leg for Vinnie.
Trisha Tahmasbi: If she stays in fourth place, Torrico's trusted assistant is a loser. But if she can squeeze past Vinnie into third place after the provisional ballots are counted, she still could have a shot at getting appointed to the council if/when Wieckowski leaves.
Alberto Torrico: He won re-election to the state Assembly. He's the most powerful state politician in town, but he isn't powerful enough to help get relatively inexperienced candidates into elected office. First Sharlene Mansfield in 07, now Trisha Tahmasbi. At least he has a soft spot for underdog women. How about Wynn Grcich in 2010?
Republicans: There's still Dave Smith and Scott Haggerty, and probably a few others, but the GOP is becoming MIA around here. The Fremont council now is all Democratic; so is Union City's. Steve Cho lost, as did Bob Brunton. The hospital board's Bill Nicholson was the only GOP'er to win in the Tri-City area on Tuesday.
Fremont Hotel Guests: Not only are they staying in Fremont, but when the new hotel tax goes into effect, they'll be paying a couple more dollars to do it.
A's haters: Morrison and Bacon were their best chances to deep-six the project. Still more hurdles to climb, though. The big box retailers in Pacific Commons still aren't on board, and neither is NUMMI.
And now, the first of many:

Happy Sunday! How was your week?
I had a few new group training runs that I'll share more about soon. Always a great way to make the time fly by, and to push myself a little harder at the track.
I realized this week that I'm nearing the half way point in my training already, eeek! Here's the weekly recap:
All in all, it was a good week. The second part of my long run will be this morning with a group I ran with two weeks ago.
Sunday: 12 mile group run with local group (8:30 ave)
Monday: 25 minute elliptical + mixed with strength circuit (workout below)
Tuesday: 8 mile tempo run, split with spin class (1st half: 7:45, 7:17, 6:55, 6:30… spin… 2nd half: 9:00, 7:57, 7:18, 7:30)
Wednesday: 7 easy run (8:50 ave) + push ups and plank variations
Thursday: I joined a new group for their track workout: warm up- 8:07, then 6 x 6 minutes at half marathon pace– note, no one was running half marathon pace! I went with the flow and my paces for the 6 minutes were 7:06, 6:47, 6:44, 6:44, 6:27 and 6:44, cool down 1.5 miles at 8:06 pace for 8 miles total
Friday: off
Saturday: 13.5 long run, 8:30 ish pace
I often list "short circuit workout" or "resistance band workout" as part of my weekly routine, and it's usually something I've pinned or made up on the fly. Because some of you have asked for more details, I'm going to try to share more specifics in the future.
I made this up on the fly on Monday and wrote it down to share. I am not an expert in strength training and do not claim to be, but I've learned a lot of efficient strength moves and I regularly incorporate the ones that are best for overall strengthening and supporting running.
(Optional- you can repeat the entire circuit)
For meal planning:
Sunday: Homemade pizza
Monday: Crock pot Jambalaya
Tuesday: Grilled chicken, roasted veggies and kale chips
Wednesday: Quinoa salad with Creamy Avocado viniagrette
Thursday: Basil Bacon Quiche (with a rice crust)
Friday: Spring rolls and soup
Saturday: Leftovers or out
Do you have a favorite strength move?

Consider this:
In an interview with a Denver TV reporter Friday, President Obama twice refused to answer questions as to whether the Americans under siege in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, were denied requests for help, saying he's waiting for the results of investigations before making any conclusions about what went wrong.
Again, while there may be an investigation going on, I have trouble understanding why it is that the president cannot answer a simple question. Were the Americans in Benghazi denied requests for help while they were under siege? Why is that so hard to answer, and why do we need to have an investigation concluded before the question is answered? Indeed, why do we have to pretend that the presence of an investigation excuses the president and other members of the Obama administration from answering basic questions about what happened in Benghazi?
Politics and the election wouldn't have anything to do with it, would they? I mean, perish the thought.

Skip to comments.Congrats to Matt Kuchar, TPC winner!
Posted on 05/13/2012 4:24:15 PM PDT by DJlaysitup
Matt Kuchar wins the TPC with his Mom and his Wife and a bunch of kids around him on Mother's Day. He hit the shots and good for him. He will now be set for the next 5 years on the PGA tour.
Kuchar has been a consistent guy in the Masters but had to go back to the "Q" school recently.
He recently got a coach who "flattened out" his swing (note to all you Saturdat golfers - I did this too and it worked like a charm for accuracy).
Kuchar takes the prize with his mom there on Mother's day ...next up we have the US Open ending on Father's Day. Who will be next?
He's one of the good guys. Love that two great guys have won the big tournaments so far this year.
He's a respectable tennis player too.
I hadn't seen him play recently. What struck me is if you watched his swing from behind, it very much looked like Ernie Els's.
I was rootin for Rickie Fowler....I was hopin Matt's toes fell off....lolol
great men, both !
I've been a fan of Matt's since he was an am. Remember the controversy over his dad getting excited while caddying for him at the US Open. Silly that was.
Glad to see him win. Anyone who hangs in there to the finish deserves the trophy and the check. I was hoping Kevin Ny would be able to pull off his first win, but he has too many issues he has to overcome first. He has to get his confidence built back up.
None-the-less, it was a great win for MK.
On board.
Great to see him win a major.
You're right. I also wish they had discussed hitting off a cart path. I've had instances where I've dropped in rough because I didn't want to mess up a club on a cart path.
Matt Kuchar: another great Georgia Tech golfer! Congratulations to Matt and family!
Would like to see Ben Crane win. He's the only one of the Golf Boys to not win yet this year.
He's playing well and made over $1.3million. He might be due.

I tried to edit the configurations file manually and read a lot of posts but I was not able to find a definitive answer to my problem: I am using Eclipse 3.3 and WTP 2.0 and I want to run multiple Dynamic Projects in a Tomcat 5.5 that are depending on each other. This means one Dynamic Project uses classes from another one. There is no problem with including basic Java Projects as Utility Projects in Dynamic Projects with the J2EE Dependencies configuration but Dynamic Projects are not listed there. If I add the jst.utility facet I am able to add them but the generate JAR includes the whole web application context folder instead of just the classes. Is it possible to use the classes of a Dynamic Project as JAR in another Dynamic Project or do I have to move them into a separate Java Project?]]> Thomas Einwaller 2007-08-01T08:41:19-00:00
