True love ripped apart too early
HE'S loved her since Year 8 at Gladstone State High School.
And Brad Kruger married the girl who captured his heart all those years ago on March 27.
But sadly Keeana Kruger (nee Demidov) died overnight Sunday.
The 20-year-old was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at 16.
Brad proposed after the doctors delivered the news earlier this year that Keeana had only months to live.
"I rang her dad and asked him if I could propose," Brad said.
"He said, 'Do it and make her happy'."
The Observer caught up with the couple last month.
The Krugers were still hopeful of a recovery. They shared their dreams to one day start a family.
Brad was still in awe of his girl. He said he was proud to be able to call her his wife.
The young man was unable to speak with The Observer yesterday.
It was always Keeana for Brad.
He started dating her friend in Year 8 but only had eyes for Keeana.
He finally built up the courage to phone her and ask her out to the pool.
They went the next day and shared their first kiss.
The Krugers were married on March 27, 2012, at Canoe Point, Tannum Sands
Their big day was seven years after they began dating

One of the treasures Mom had in her stash was a very special surprise for me: it was a collection of my Dad's, William Lee Brittain (1942-2003), two-month-old baby footprints, a lock of his hair from when he was three years old AND the bracelet that was tied around his wee baby wrist when he was born on October 28, 1942, in Hayward, California!
You can imagine how thrilled I was to see and touch these mementos from when my Daddy was just a baby! There were, of course, two footprints so Mom gave one to me and is giving one to my sister, Cindy, too (hope I didn't ruin a surprise!). Understandably, she wanted to keep the lock of Dad's hair and the hospital bracelet.
Thanks to both Grandma Edith and Mom for keeping these precious bits of history safe, all these years, for Daddy's girls to treasure!
|William Lee Brittain at one month old (1942)

Q: How can I extend Metadata using attributes?
A: The common language runtime allows you to add keyword-like descriptive declarations, called attributes, to annotate programming elements such as types, fields, methods, and properties. Attributes are saved with the metadata of a Microsoft .NET Framework file and can be used to describe your code to the runtime or to affect application behavior at run time. While the .NET Framework supplies many useful attributes, you can also design and deploy your own.
- What are attributes?
When you compile your code for the runtime, it is converted into Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) and placed inside a portable executable (PE) file along with metadata generated by the compiler. Attributes allow you to place extra descriptive information into metadata that can be extracted using runtime reflection services. The compiler creates attributes when you declare instances of special classes that derive from 'System.Attribute'.
- Why use attributes?
- Attributes describe how to serialize data
- Attributes specify characteristics that are used to enforce security
- Attributes limit optimizations by the just-in-time (JIT) compiler so the code remains easy to debug
- Attributes can also record the name of a file or the author of code, or control the visibility of controls and members during forms development
- Attributes describe your code in practically any way conceivable and to affect run-time behavior in creative new ways
- Attributes allow you to add your own descriptive elements to C#, the Managed Extensions for C++, Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, or any other language that targets the runtime, without having to rewrite your compiler.
- How do I apply attributes?
Use the following process to apply an attribute to an element of your code:
- Define a new attribute or use an existing attribute by importing its namespace from the .NET Framework.
- Initialize the attribute directly preceding the element that you want described, calling the attribute's constructor with the desired flag or information.
- Can I have an example of applying attributes in C#?
The following code example shows how to declare 'System.ObsoleteAttribute', which marks code as obsolete. The string 'Will be removed in next version' is passed to the attribute. This attribute causes a compiler warning that displays the passed string when code that the attribute describes is called.
Code:using System; public class MainApp { public static void Main() { //This generates a compile-time warning. int MyInt = Add(2,2); } //Specify attributes between square brackets in C#. //This attribute is applied only to the Add method. [Obsolete("Will be removed in next version")] public static int Add( int a, int b) { return (a+b); } }
- Can I have an example of applying attributes using Visual Basic.NET?
The following code example shows how to declare 'System.ObsoleteAttribute', which marks code as obsolete. The string 'Will be removed in next version' is passed to the attribute. This attribute causes a compiler warning that displays the passed string when code that the attribute describes is called.
Code:Imports System 'Call attributes between < and > in Visual Basic. Public Module main Sub Main() 'This generates a compile-time warning. Dim MyInt as Integer = Add(2,2) End Sub 'Specify attributes between < and > brackets in Visual Basic. 'This attribute is applied only to the Add method. Obsolete("Will be removed in next version ") Function Add(a as Integer, b as Integer) as Integer Add = a + b End Function End Module
- Can I have an example of applying attributes at Assembly Level?
If you want to apply an attribute at the assembly level, use the 'Assembly' keyword. The following code shows the 'AssemblyNameAttribute' applied at the assembly level:
Code:using System.Reflection; [assembly:AssemblyName("MyAssembly")]
- [Visual Basic]
Code:Imports System.Reflection <Assembly:AssemblyName("MyAssembly")>
When this attribute is applied, the string 'MyAssembly' is placed in the assembly manifest in the metadata portion of the file. You can view the attribute either by using the MSIL Disassembler or by creating a custom program to retrieve the attribute.

Hi all!
I'm working on a web site for my client. Unfortunately, my client has already paid for a web hosting and I have several problems with them. So maybe somebody can help.
1. How is it possible, that when I try to open http://aj-partner.com my clients web pages are opened, but when I try to open https://aj-partner.com a completely different page is opened?
2. Anyone knows how to run something like mod_rewrite on IIS server? I'd like to use it as I normally do, but usually are my script placed on linux servers. And the hosting guy doesn't know how to solve this problem.
3. Last thing - when I tried to open http://www.aj-partner.com/stats/ a login box should appear. But the only thing I get is an error message HTTP error 401.3. This is probably also some sort of IIS thing, but it looks like I'm the only one getting this error. The hosting guy doesn't know what to do. Again:0
Anybody could help?
Thank you very much!!

Artscape festival lineup, new app announced
App to detail all events at city's largest free festival
Baltimore City officials on Tuesday announced the details of this year's Artscape, including a new smartphone app that can keep track of everything that's happening.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake unveiled this year's headliners who will perform on the Wells Fargo Main Stage during the free festival that runs from July 19-21.
R&B singer-songwriter Kem will take the stage Friday, followed by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and the North Mississippi All-Stars on Saturday night, with reggae fans getting a chance to enjoy The Wailers on Sunday.
This year's theme is "No Passport Required," with the goal of giving visitors an international arts experience without leaving Baltimore.
"It's part of our art installation along Charles Street, and we'll have international performers representing more than 30 countries throughout Artscape," said Tracy Baskerville, the spokeswoman for the Baltimore Office of Promotion and Arts.
She said the coast's largest free festival is also keeping up with technology.
"New this year, there's an app that you can download on your Apple iPhone or your Android phone that lets you keep track of performances and even food vendors," Baskerville said. "That way you can keep up to date, and you don't have to have a program. We will have one on site, but when you have your mobile phone, you can find out the latest on the schedules and what's going on inside and outside the building at Artscape."
The mayor said security this year will be a priority in light of last month's bombing in Boston, but she's asking anyone who attends to also play a role in keeping the festival safe.
"Our security plans for Artscape will include making sure that we will have extra eyes on the street, but we also need our citizens to be vigilant as well," Rawlings-Blake said.
Organizers estimate that Artscape attracts more than 350,000 people and generates more than $25 million in revenue.

'Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" - A saying we have all grown up with. Indeed fair skin is desirable and almost everyone aspires for it. A soft, glowing and healthy skin is now no more a want but a need. There are many readymade fairness creams available in the market that will lighten your complexion temporarily.
However, they use harsh chemicals that may damage the three layers of your skin. Lot of fairness serums and creams sold in the market are a dangerous cocktail of compounds like steroids, hydroquinone and tretinoin. The long term use of which can lead to lethal health concerns like permanent refractory pigmentation, skin eruptions, skin cancer, liver damage, mercury poisoning and others.
Our skin naturally produces a pigment called melanin that gives it its colour. External factors, like sun exposure, can enhance or control melanin production, causing our skin to develop a tan. It is difficult to change the amount of melanin naturally. However, you can always get rid of the tan and pigmentation by using some simple home remedies.
Milk and honey: They make an excellent fairness activator. Apply a mixture of milk and honey and massage lightly in circular motions for 10-15 minutes and then rinse with cold water. The natural enzymes in milk lighten your complexion and even out the skin tone. Milk also nourishes your skin and keeps it healthy.
Rose water: Cleanse your face every day with rose water. It not only refreshes and brightens but also soothes all types of irritation and rashes. It is specially good and effective for sensitive and oily skin types.
Jojoba oil: Take a few drops of jojoba oil between your fingertips and rub them together to warm it up slightly. Apply it to your face and massage in circular motions for two-minutes and then leave it on overnight. This is similar to the natural oils secreted by our skin and gets easily absorbed into it. It keeps the skin moisturised and balances the PH to give you a brighter complexion and a natural glow.
Saffron: Soak a few strands of saffron in milk for about an hour. Add some pure organic sandalwood powder to it. Make it in to smooth paste. Then apply it on your face and body and leave it on for 20 minutes. Then rinse off with water.
Orange peel pack: Mix orange peel powder with honey, milk and a pinch of turmeric paste into a smooth consistency. Apply this paste on your face and let it dry for 20 minutes and then rinse off with cold water.
Diet is equally important for getting a flawless fair complexion. Eating tomatoes and tomato-based food can help to clear your skin. The lycopene present in them helps to combat acne and stubborn spots. It also protects the skin from UV rays and improves the antioxidant status. Include tomatoes in your diet three to five times a week.
Berries such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries are all loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants. These help your body to keep acne and blemishes at bay. Sometimes, blemishes occur due to oxidative stress. The antioxidants in berries will help to remove these blemishes. Vitamin C prevents inflammation and gives the skin a healthy glow. Use a supplement having Vitamin C, rose hips powder from the extract of rosa canina. Couple it with antioxidants which have alpha T acids and glutathione. These natural elements free from side effects will help in pigmentation and epidermal melanin reduction, discolouration, lightening your skin and giving it a healthy glow.
Adding fish and seafood regularly to your diet helps you maintain the optimal health of the skin. This is because the omega-3 fatty acids containing eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid found in fish and seafood slow down the aging process toa great extent. They can inhibit the secretion of the inflammatory chemicals and delay the appearance of premature signs of aging, fine lines and wrinkles. They also help to fight acne, which is another type of inflammation caused by bacteria. Those who are prone to acne should eat three-four servings of fish every week. You can incorporate fish oil supplements as well in case taking fish is difficult. Yogurt is essentially rich in probiotics, and ensures a healthy gut. When your digestive tract is clean, your skin will automatically have a natural glow.
Drink at least three to four litres of water daily. This is called water therapy and along with it citrus fruit juices will make your skin fair and healthy. Hydrated skin is always healthy and plump.
Also include some almonds, milk and banana to your diet. They give you all the essential vitamins needed for a radiant glowing skin. Amidst all the vital points to remember, we sometimes forget the very basics. For instant glowing and fair skin, always keep these mantras in mind:
Follow the cleansing, toning and moisturising routine daily. It is also extremely vital to remove your makeup before you go to sleep.
A manual exfoliation can help to lighten the skin by removing the layer of dead cells. It only helps when your current skin tone is darker than your normal skin tone. This is because exfoliation reveals a new skin layer that is untouched by the sun.
Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before you step out from home. A good sunscreen with SPF 30 and above will help to prevent a tan. Avoid the sun as far as possible.
Another key to flawless skin is a good night's sleep. It is very important for healthy and glowing skin. It repairs the skin and gives it the fresh look.
It is mandatory to add a few exercises to your regime to improve metabolism. Then the body can assimilate nutrients from food better. Make a smart choice by eating healthy foods and using natural ingredients instead of cosmetics.
Never use a household bleach or hair bleach on your skin. These will not work since they are not designed to reduce melanin. Rather they will cause more damage.
Try and avoid creams with greater than two per cent concentration of chemicals that lighten the complexion without consulting a doctor as they can damage your skin too.
Curtail your smoking habits, eating unhealthy snacks and alcohol consumption to avoid all your efforts to get a fair skin from going in vain.
You need to remember and realise that fairness cannot be achieved overnight, and one has to take good care regularly to achieve the desired fairness. Stress and busy schedules also leave us with no time to pamper our skin, so all we do is end up applying creams to look fair. Try to follow the easy tips and remedies regularly, and fair skin will be yours forever with time. Determination, dedication and discipline are all you need to complete your journey to achieving the gorgeous you.

Devoxx 4 Kids Netherlandssteveonjava | October 28, 2013
I was invited to speak at the Devoxx 4 Kids Netherlands event, so I dropped in right after my Gosling interview. This was literally right after Hawaii. I had only 24 hours at home between events, which was just enough time to put the finishing touches on Lego Duke version 6.1 (the replacement for the one stolen in San Francisco).
The Netherlands Devoxx 4 Kids event was really well organized. The Java Duchess chapter here in the Netherlands ran it, and were so organized that they had a 95% attendance rate. Also, I was worried the kids would not be able to handle three 1.5 hour workshops in a row, but they had a great agenda with snacks and outdoor breaks so the kids would not get tired (I think some adult tech conferences could benefit from this).
All of the groups were able to make some Java code modifications to the game and compile and run it successfully, so they are full fledged Java hackers. They may even be more advanced than their parents, because they were using the new lambda streaming API. 🙂
Here is a slide show with some pictures from the event. As you can see, the rebuilt Lego Duke was a huge success:
For Dutch parents who want the slide decks in their native language, here are the slides that Saskia translated for me. I think it also helped quite a bit with the kids who understood enough English, but needed some help from native speakers from time to time:
Next stop is W-JAX with Toni Epple. More details on this coming soon.

This is a good starting point, my horizontally (40' above ground) mounted OCF Dipole (balanced feed input) suddenly, only works on one band, 20 meters.
I use a Dentron Super Tuner Plus with a Yaesu YC-60 watt-meter to read reflected watts between transceiver.
I go to the settings I have transcribed for each band and, the reflected watts shows that the Tuners is not transforming the load to the radio; the SWR meter on the radio shows a "bad match".
I hooked my MFJ-259 Analyzer in place of the radio and tried the settings for the different frequencies; tuner doesn't tune balanced load.

Gamespot Score: N/A
My Score: 7.5
(+) Pros: - Beautiful art style and direction, - Fully fleshed out characters that you can sympathize with, - Problem solving segments done well, variety of area's to visit, - Multitude of endings, - Easter eggs and tiny secrets found throughout the game that can help flesh out the story further.
(-) Cons: - Story is a little bit underwhelming if you don't discover everything, - Nothing too particularly difficult or out of the ordinary, - True ending leaves quite a bit to be desired.
Gameplay time: About 4 hours (to see everything)
I love me my pixel horror RPGs, and I've gotten all of them from vgperson. I'll say this as many times as I need to, she's awesome at what she does, and I'll eagerly wait upon every game she wants to release. Anyway, "Alice Mare" was one of those games she did...but she didn't label it under horror. I got into it anyway, since it looked very much like one. From screenshots, I loved how it looked, and it was easily one of the nicer looking pixel RPG maker games...to me anyways ("Witch's House" will always be the most beautiful in this aspect). So I played it, enjoyed it, then the 1.05 update came up, I played through the whole game again, I enjoyed it again, and here I am. If you like your dose of pixel horror RPG maker games, "Alice Mare" isn't so different. It may not provide as many scares, but it sure is creepy as hell at times.
You play as as young boy named Allen (not Allen Walker, unfortunately), whom is suffering from a horrible case of amnesia. He knows nothing about himself and is taken in by a young man who is in charge of an orphanage, which already has some kids living in there. He introduces himself as teacher, and Allen was to stay in that orphanage with the rest of the kids. Things seem fine for a first day, but the kids warn Allen not to go up to the second floor. Allen, being the protagonist, needs to f**k something up, so he hears a voice coming up from the second floor. He goes up only to find a struggling butterfly in a casing. He gets caught by teacher and gets sent back to his room. The following day, he finds out that he is stuck in a dream, and realizes that the denizens of his dream call him Alice. He cannot leave the dream, and must find 5 keys to fix the world. In his dream he finds his friends at the orphanage too...what could this mean?
|The answer is always no, if you want to live.
I don't know about you, but "Alice Mare" is one of the more beautiful looking RPG maker games, right behind "Witch's House". The character designs are pretty okay, but character models that appear when they talk look so effin adorable (see above image)! Every character has such a sprite/model, all of them look fabulous...I'd make bookmarks out of those if I could, and I don't even read books. The over-world itself feels as 16 bit as you can ask for. Its good enough, I'd say. Some of the areas look flat out weird, but otherwise, it's well polished.
"Alice Mare" is about traversing the dream world and discovering the life stories of all of Allen's friends. In this retrospect, the game does really well. You will be traveling to different pasts of the different kids and learn more about them, solving puzzles grants you pages of their life, which will be fit into a notebook later on. The game will showcase each page to you and an image along with it, reliving the life of the characters during the past. It's a well thought of sequence that ends up being creepy or disturbing in more ways than one, showing you how f**ked up these kids lived their lives.
|That's not very nice.
Game sequence in "Alice Mare" is the same as every RPG maker game up to date, you solve puzzles, move on to the next person's dream, solve more problems and puzzles, then move on, rinse and repeat until the end. While there aren't any difficult puzzles in this game per se, the problems are really well done and relate to the person's whose dream you are in. That, and the variety of areas that you get to visit...each kid has an area in their dream land that relates to their life in the past. You get to visit a forest...a manor...a graveyard...so on and so forth. And the puzzles in those areas are a great fit for both the area itself and the person dreaming it.
"Alice Mare" has a lot of endings...which, to its merit, is one of its stronger points. Lately all the pixel horror RPGs that I've played only have a handful of endings...if I'm not wrong "Alice Mare" has 9. Of course, most of them are bad/f**ked up, but most of these endings open up a different side of the story that you can normally not see...and these all add up to the big picture. To make things better, you can access 4 of these endings rather early in the game once you solve their character specific worlds. To further add on to the story, there are easter eggs/small tips you can look for that open up MORE of the story or explain stuff that was never properly explained....The extra scene in 1.05 really helped out.
|Yep, he's weird all right.
The cons are pretty simple to point out, especially for those of you that only finished the game a couple of times to get the best ending. A lot of the story isn't fleshed out if you don't look at the other endings/examine every f**king thing in the game...and even then the true "best" ending leaves quite a bit to be desired. WE STILL DON'T KNOW A LOT OF SHIT ABOUT TEACH! That and the problems in this game...aren't too hard to solve. Most of them are rather easy and you won't need to think too hard to get through them (Stella's level was a disappointment).
So that's "Alice Mare". There's another one for the pixel horror RPG family...and as usual, I'd like to play more when they are made available for the English speaking audience. Until vgperson translates another horror game, I'll wait patiently, because these are as good as they come. For the mean time, "Alice Mare" is a pretty good distraction with its plentiful of interesting characters.
Happy gaming.

1 1/2 cups of salt
3 cups of plain flour
3 cups of water
2 tbsp of cream of tartar
3 tbsp of olive oil
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan.
Warm gently over low heat on the stove and continue to stir until mixture thickens and starts to form a ball. Allow to cool slightly then knead on a protected surface until nice and smooth.
I cut mine up into portions, wrap in baking paper or greaseproof paper and store in an old tupperware container in the fridge. The play dough should last this way for a very long time, unless exposed to air. Mold can occur over time if bacteria is present in the dough...just let your nose and eyes guide you there. I have read that a tablespoon of vinegar added to the batch can hinder mould growth, but I haven't tried this as yet.
At home I mostly make plain colour play dough and let the kids experiment with texture, colour and fragrance using things from around the house and from the garden. I particularly love making Herbal Play dough as the textures and fragrances are very stimulating. I place a few bowls of plant items for the children's own selection and they help themselves to make their own smelly shapes. Dough with raw plant pieces doesn't last that well, so you may like to portion off small amounts from the original batch and just toss after a couple of days.
Other aromatic dough suggestions:
- Spices eg. ground cinnamon, ginger or allspice or try colouring with turmeric
- Essential oils for aroma (taking into consideration the age of the children and safe quantities per recipe)
PLEASE NOTE: As with all children's activities it is best to supervise and do ensure that dough and plant pieces are not consumed.

When Frank and I learned that Al Cielo would be closing while we were visiting Xpu-ha in February, Frank immediately started seeking out a new beach. Since the beaches south of Tulum in the Yucatan were duds (to us) we tossed out the idea of exploring Cabo or Puerto Vallarta. The choice to check out Cabo was easily made. Traveling there is a little easier (though, more expensive), it's not as humid, and we love the desert; in Baja Sur, the desert meets the sea in the most splendid way. We were intrigued. I think before we even landed back home from Cancun, we had it settled. We'd fly to Cabo rent a car and drive the coast skipping from city to city to find one we liked best. It was just a matter of when.
As soon as Frank wrapped up March Madness we were in route to Mexico for the third time this year. I secured the shortest & cheapest flights ($275pp roundtrip) possible by flying American Airlines via Phoenix. We'd always burn a full day traveling to the Yucatan so it was wonderful to leave at 6:30am and arrive before noon. Prior to the trip I booked a 4WD SUV for $151 on Orbitz. It was supposed to be a Toyota 4-Runner or similar, but when we arrived there wasn't a single 4x4 vehicle to offer. They had a Jeep Wrangler than would be returned later that evening, so we worked out a deal to accept the Kia Soul for now, and we'd swap it out for the Jeep the following day. The plan worked out just fine, accept that the Jeep was the poorest excuse for a four wheel drive vehicle. Suffice it to say I wish we kept the Soul. I never in a million years would expect to utter those words, but there you have it. I'll share more on that later.
Prior to planning this trip, I never knew that there were two Cabos. I can't be alone in this, can I? To keep you on your toes, both, Cabo San Lucas (CSL) and San Jose del Cabo (SJD) have airports. We stayed smack dab between the two, we booked an Airbnb for two nights. It was located on a hillside not far from Chileno Bay. There were three rentals, plus the hosts main residence. At the center of the property there was a large palapa with bar and outdoor living area beside the pool, which was flanked by a bocce ball court and gardens. It was quite lovely. As an added bonus, we were the only guests so we had the run of the place and the roof top terrace; which was great for sunset.
We played tourist on our first day. We drove over to Cabo San Lucas. We decided to grab a bite at Guacamaya's. We ordered a variety of tacos - marlin was the favorite, a napoles tostada and we finished with a churro that was pretty spot on. I must be used to fish tacos in San Diego, because all over Baja (Norte or Sur) I was served the fish naked.
I was a little familiar with the times that the cruise ships are in port from friends that had cruised to the area. Late afternoon was an ideal time to take a Land's End tour since most of the cruise crowds had cleared out. We walked to the Marina to check out our options. Frank negotiated a deal with one of the glass bottom boat operators. Said and done, tip included it was about $30. The first quote was triple that. We thought we might have gotten a private tour, but just as we left the dock, we circled back to pick up two other groups. A family, and group of American ladies. The ladies asked for cerveza, our captain kindly stopped at the dockside market, and then we were on our way. I thought we were all taking the tour, but it doubled as a water taxi. We made a detour to drop off the ladies at The Office.
Then, our tour began, we saw the popular snorkeling area and diving rock. There were loads of fish in the area (I couldn't make much out through the glass window, but there were plenty alongside the boat), we cruised by the arch, Lover's Beach and Divorce Beach. The water in the bay was pretty calm, but on the Pacific side. The waves picked up and it only took moments for seasickness to wash over Frank. Thankfully, we didn't stay long, and it was smooth the rest of the way back so he was only uncomfortable for a short bit.
After the tour, we grabbed a few groceries and went back to the house. Frank swam a bit, I relaxed pool side. A cigar and beer (or two) might have been had. Later, we dined at a Argentinian steakhouse, Chumayo. We knew it was a hotspot and reservations are recommended, but we were dining late and took our chances. We waited at the bar until a table opened up. They make a fantastic margarita so I didn't mind the wait one iota. The restaurant offers moonlit dining in an open courtyard. The menu is pared down to offer the best of the best. I always appreciate that. We chose the grill for two, but instead of a bottle of wine we opted for a couple margaritas. We also added the creamy onion soup and empanadas for starters and ended with a crepe & berries. Go big or go home, am I right?
We were in heaven. We ate like royalty. The meal was superb. They are known for the beef rib, and it is very good, but it was the flank steak that blew us away. It's not a cut we typically enjoy, but this was so tender and flavorful. Wow.
The next morning, we exchanged our rental car and we thought we'd check out The Hangman in San Jose del Cabo. Unfortunately, it wasn't open til dinner. We found another spot in the center of town, but parking was too difficult.
Our third attempt was just outside centro, Tacos Rossy. We were pleased to find chicharrons on the menu, but they weren't as tender or flavorful as what we get at Mariscos Playa Escondido, here, at home. The tacos were fairly unmemorable.
Next stop was a tour of East Cape. We planned to drive out to Cabo Plumo, but other plans unfolded. We were at Playa Zacaritos, and Frank has been itching to drive on the beach so we took the Jeep out into the sand.
Our fun was cut short when we got stuck. 4WD without lockers and balding tires rendered this Jeep useless. Frank is a skilled driver and we've gained all sorts of experience getting out of jams for all of our offroading adventures, but airing down wasn't enough. We found rocks to provide traction. It worked an inch at a time, but it was very slow going. We made a good effort, but we were never going to make it up the last leg. I sat in the Jeep to cool down and Frank walked up the hill in search of help. He was fortunate to find a crew of five that were working at one of the houses that overlooked the beach. The kind amigos, gave us the push we needed to free us from that final stretch. Then, they invited us up to the house to fill up the tires. It was pretty isolated with no traffic coming or going so I thanked our lucky stars that Frank found them. Driving on sand? Totally overrated. In a RZR, though, it'd be kick ass. I wish we had ours in tow.
We were tired, thirsty and a bit hungry after that ordeal so we grabbed a snack at Buzzard's Bar & Grill. Pacifico never tasted so good! We ordered nachos and poblano & onion rings. We chowed on those and chatted with a couple from San Diego. They, too, had been traveling to the Riveria Maya, but decided to switch it up given the proximity to home. We bailed on Cabo Plumo. I was sore and had little desire to be tossed around for the next few hours on the unmaintained beach road. We hung out on the beach before turning back. If you look real hard you'll spot the Jeep. That's as close to the sand we got for fear of another sticky situation.
The sea and sand we encountered in the east cape was too rough for our liking so no paradise found. We rested back at the house until dinner. We opted to return to Cabo San Lucas it was more easily accessible, few traffic lights on the highway and less congested overall. La Catrina is nestled in between the beach resorts not far from The Office. It's known for its flaming cheese and tableside guacamole. Twist my arm. We started with those and a round of margaritas, then chose the seafood chile relleno and carnitas for our entrees. All was good, but the star was the flaming cheese. Sure, it's gimmicky, but it takes con queso to a whole new level.
We took a short walk after dinner, then turned in so we'd be ready for our next adventure in La Paz.

Meraki Greek Grill
My brother and drove over to Presto Cafe for lunch one day and much to our surprise, we found it shuttered. It wasn't a total loss, though, just a couple suites down (at Rainbow/Trop) we noticed a new eatery, Meraki Greek Grill. We love gyros so it was an easy sell. The restaurant is modern, bright and clean. Typical of a fast-casual experience; you order at the counter, you're given a number and your food will be brought to your seat. Every visit, thus far, has been hectic when ordering but don't let that deter you. The rest is pretty darn flawless. Not only is the restaurant spotless, even when at capacity, but the quality of the food has been top notch and very fresh.
I'm loyal to the beef/lamb gyro, the classico combo ($10.90) suits me well. I get the tzatziki on the side because I'm extremely picky when it comes to it. This one isn't my favorite, but still better than most. When not in the mood for the side salad (.49), I take the upsell for the feta fries (.79), it's totally worthwhile. The fries are crisp and can stand up to the melty feta crumbles. The pita is light and airy, and doesn't taste of pure flour like too many do. Ripe tomato and gyro meat is nestled inside. I like that the sliced edges are little crisp but the interior is still juicy. Red onion packs a punch, some even say it's straight from Satan's garden, but here it's sliced very thin so you don't feel like you're breathing fire. Though, gum after the meal is probably still a good idea.
Sure, it's a little pricier than a few joints in town, but they do it right. I must return with a larger group so I can sample more of the menu.

And I'm not talking about WiFi. This weekend, we unplugged and went off the grid (well, except the few with Verizon - they truly have the best coverage) at Hualapai Mountain Park. Frank and I have been a few times before, but this time we had a large crew to join us. Our group of 22 was spread out in four cabins and two RVs. With only a few of us having been before, everyone had fun exploring, enjoyed the crisp air and wildlife. Nights were spent under the stars around the campfire, and the day was filled with RZR rides, riding bikes, hikes and a visit to the park.
There were six RZRs among us. The first ride was to the Gold King Mansion, Frank was the trail leader. Having been a couple times, I stayed back at the cabin and gave up my seat to Nick. Meanwhile, I prepped crockpot chili for lunch, fixings for dinner, and kept busy with girls, Amy and Jeff. When they went down for a nap, I read a book under the shady tree. It was delightful. The gang returned for lunch, but two RZRs were down for the count. Both suffered A-Arm damage. The group for the afternoon run shrunk. Four RZRs headed out for the Boriana Mine. I tagged along for this one. The trail used to be quite smooth, with the exception of a few rock gardens where the trail had washed out. Now, it's deeply rutted in several areas and more loose rock and boulders to dodge. The heavy rains have bolstered the desert flora. Bright wildflower blooms were such a treat and it was so lush, well, as much as the desert can be. Unfortunately, only half of us made it to the mine. The other two RZRs turned back when the A-Arm bushings were toast on one.
While at the mine, we stopped to feed the goldfish. It always surprises me how they survive year after year. After a full day of riding three rigs were worse for wear and three were unharmed, but most importantly everyone returned safe and sound.
When we rolled up to camp, I had to giggle at the teenager I spotted with cell in hand by the ranger station struggling to connect to WiFi at the Ranger's station. I was so relieved that all the kiddos in our group survived without electronics and the internet. They played. Just as kids should. It was wonderful. I printed off a scavenger hunt I found online, they formed teams and ventured off.
Hilarity ensued when a cactus was brought in as something smooth. Sure, it smooth, if you don't count the two to three inch needles protruding from it. It was all good fun. Even the littlest ones got a kick out of collecting rocks and pine cones.
I cannot believe we've been coming to Hualapai Mountain Park for nearly five years now. We've tent camped and stayed in the cabins. Camping is fine, but I do love the luxury of running water. If given the choice, I'd chose a cabin every time. This time, our group booked cabins 15, 12, 11 and 2. #2 is set back aways, it's all stone and quite nice. I especially like that it lacks the bunk beds that most offer.
This trip I decided I'm too old for that top bunk. The first night, we had the heat blazing and I woke completely soaked from sweat. It was slightly terrifying to see wood inches from face. Too claustrophobic and too close to a casket for comfort. Hobbling down the ladder, with a full bladder was not fun either. Next time? A cabin with no bunk, Please... or I'll bring an air mattress. All said, it was a great getaway with family and friends.

Today, SLA technology is used to print everything from personalized, in-ear hearing aids and professional music devices to automotive parts for design-to-manufacturing. In 1983, Hull 3D printed a small cup, the first-ever object created with additive technology. The success of Hull's process served as a catalyst to his founding of 3D Systems in 1986.
The European Inventor Awards includes people's choice award by popular vote. Please support Chuck by voting for him at the EPO website (www.epo.org/vote) or via the EPO's Facebook page (http://bit.ly/PopularPrizeAPP). Voting is open now through June 10, 2014, at midnight CET.
Hull continues to lead the 3D printing revolution as 3D Systems' Chief Technology Officer, celebrating 30 years of continuous 3D printing innovation and presiding over seven different 3D print technologies, more than 100 materials and 1,700 patents.
On May 21, 2014 Hull will be inducted into the National Inventor's Hall of Fame in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for his globally impactful and transformative work inventing and pioneering 3D printing. With this induction, Hull joins the ranks of formerly honored inventors, including Eli Whitney, Thomas Edison, Orville and Wilbur Wright, Henry Ford, and George Eastman, as well as Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. He also received The Economist's prestigious 2013 Innovation Award, recognizing significant contributions across eight fields of science, technology, and society.
"I am deeply honored to be considered by the EPO among the other high caliber innovators who have transformed the world and improved the human condition in tangible and powerful ways," said Chuck Hull, Founder and Chief Technology Officer, 3DS. "I always knew that 3D printing had the capacity to change the entire design-to-manufacturing process, but could not have anticipated the full impact that my work would have on every facet of our lives. It is incredibly humbling and exhilarating to be a part of this transformation."

I've been waiting for Smosh to do an Honest Game Trailer for Call of Duty's Modern Warfare trilogy, and they do not disappoint. "Suit up for the least realistic war franchise since Contra."
My favorite moment comes during the multiplayer montage, when everything goes a little crazy. It's the most accurate representation of the feeling I get during those rare moments when I find myself on top of a game that I don't even need the real thing anymore.


text: How to call WinRT APIs in Windows 8 from C# Desktop Applications - WinRT Diagram October 12, '12 Comments [28] Posted in Win8 | Windows Client Sponsored By I was trying to access some of the sensors that are built into this Intel Ultrabook that runs Windows 8. However, while there's support for Location Sensors built into the .NET 4 libraries on Windows 7 and up, I want to access the complete Sensor and Location Platform that is built into Windows 8 itself. Those APIs are available via COM and I could call them via COM, but calling them via the WinRT layer is so much nicer. Plus, this is kind of why WinRT exists. This got me thinking about WinRT and what it means. I did a podcast a few months ago that really cleared things up but I've always found all the various diagrams that attempted to explain how things fit together to be WAY TOO COMPLEX. DISCLAIMER: All diagrams are, by their nature, oversimplifications. I work on Web Stuff, not Windows Stuff, so this is all my opinion and conjecture, done on my own time. I'm not in the Windows org, I'm just a dude trying to write an app for babies. I figure it can't be as complicated as all these diagrams. I drew this to help myself understand. Just like the C Language has the C Runtime that provides a bunch of supporting functions and defines a calling convention for them, so the Windows Runtime (WinRT) does for Windows and its languages. These APIs and runtime includes metadata about calling conventions that make WinRT APIs easier to call than COM. See how in the diagram I can call any API from the .NET CLR? In the case of the Sensors APIs I want to call, while they are ultimately Win32 APIs or COM APIs, I would like to call them using the highest level calling convention available and that's the very friendly Windows RT ones. Calling WinRT APIs from C# Desktop Applications I like to test things using small Console Apps, but those aren't "Windows Store Applications," so am I allowed to call WinRT APIs from my Desktop or Console application? Sure. There's actually a section of the MSDN Documentation that lists out all the WinRT APIs for Windows 8 that are able to be called from the Desktop. I can specifically check the LightSensor class itself within the documentation and make sure it's allowed to be called from Desktop applications. There isn't super-clear but there IS documentation on how to add WinRT references to non-Windows Store applications. Adding a Reference to WinRT from a Desktop App The docs say, somewhat obscurely: In the desktop projects, the Core tab doesn't appear by default. The user can choose to code against the Windows Runtime by opening the shortcut menu for the project node, choosing Unload Project, adding the following snippet, opening the shortcut menu for the project node again, and then choosing Reload Project. Now, when the user invokes the Reference Manager dialog box from the project, the Core tab will appear. <propertygroup> <targetplatformversion>8.0</targetplatformversion> </propertygroup> I'll make a .NET 4.5 C# Console Application. I'll edit the .csproj and add the TargetPlatformVersion line. I'll select Add Reference from the context menu on the References node of Solution Explorer. I'll add a little code to check the status of the Light Sensor on my laptop: LightSensor light = LightSensor.GetDefault();if (light != null){ uint minReportInterval = light.MinimumReportInterval; uint reportInterval = minReportInterval > 16 ? minReportInterval : 16; light.ReportInterval = reportInterval; light.ReadingChanged += light_ReadingChanged; //event hander} However, when I compile the app, I get an error on the line where I'm trying to hook up an event handler. The "+=" language sugar for adding a multicast delegate isn't working. Error 1 Property, indexer, or event 'Windows.Devices.Sensors.LightSensor.ReadingChanged' is not supported by the language; try directly calling accessor methods 'Windows.Devices.Sensors.LightSensor.add_ReadingChanged(Windows.Foundation.TypedEventHandlerWindows.Devices.Sensors.LightSensorReadingChangedEventArgs>)' or 'Windows.Devices.Sensors.LightSensor.remove_ReadingChanged(System.Runtime.InteropServices.WindowsRuntime.EventRegistrationToken)' To fix this and get the appropriate assemblies loaded within my application support calling WinRT from my Desktop Application I need to add a reference to System.Runtime and System.Runtime.InteropServices.WindowsRuntime.dll. It's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETCore\v4.5 on my system. Now my app compiles. I'll even change out the delegate and make it a Anders lambda because that's fancy. light.ReadingChanged += (s, a) =>{ Console.WriteLine(String.Format("There was light! {0}", a.Reading.IlluminanceInLux));}; Now I can run my little console app, sense some light and check it out in action. Here's a screenshot showing the results of me shining a light at my laptop. You can see the Ambient LightSensor picks it up and outputs to the Console. While the tooling to make non-Windows Store applications call Windows RT applications is a little manual within Visual Studio right now, the underlying ability and runtime have work very nicely for me. Hopefully these few manual setups will turn into a checkbox at some point. It's also nice to see the MSDN documentation includes the details about which APIs actually can be called from the Desktop and which can be called from Windows Store apps.

Wolfie looks like Eddie did way back in the day. Diamond Dave looks like he's cleaned up his act, dig the jacket. Alex looks the same with a little less on top and Ed looks like a goof.
How about we put Mike Anthony back on bass and put Wolfie on guitar? It would make a better picture.
Seriously, I want to see this show just to see Diamond Dave perform and to check out Wolfgang's chops.

Over time I have come to realize that with a great love of music comes a great love of music delivery devices. These days it's not enough to just listen to music out of any old speaker or headset. I have become very particular in my device usage. While I have reviewed some great headphones over time, offerings from Phiaton, Nixon and Logitech have impressed, I always come back to one particular manufacturer of personal headphones. The latest in-ear headphones from Skullcandy, The Fix, continue to bring a strong and affordable sound delivery system to my ears.
Listen, way before I ever started reviewing headphones I was using them. From back in the Sony Walkman days. Remember those over the ear puffballs? Then, headphones got better and I took a liking to in-ear headphones, rather than the classic earbuds that kind of hang there. Companies started touting the "noise cancelling" effects of in-ear buds (which is nearly impossible, they just raised the bass output) and there were tons of them on the market. I went through numerous Sony in-ear headphones, Pioneer and so on. Then I found my first pair of Skullcandy.
One day I was at work, and realized that I had forgotten my headphones. So I drove to Target, which was closer than my house, to buy another pair. That's how much those headphones rocked. When my MP3 player got stolen, I was more disappointed because of the flat cord Skullcandy headphones that were with it. I bought another pair, but had to settle for the rasta-colored ones because they were out of blue. Up until recently I've been using a pair of Skullcandy Titans, which have a fabric cord, something all manufacturers should adapt. So as you can probably guess, me reviewing another pair of Skullcandy headphones will probably end positively.
Skullcandy is billing The Fix in-ear headphones as the solution to the age old problem of headphones, especially earbuds, falling out of your ears during athletic activities. While I appreciate the nod towards assuming everyone is being physically active, this problem, I think, isn't as roughshod as they make it out to be. There have been headphones on the market for years that stay in the ears, though those over the ear ones with earbuds can be kind of uncomfortable.
Styled similar in shape to the Phiaton Bluetooth pair I reviewed recently, Skullcandy has learned that this is the best and most ergonomic shape for in-ear headphones. You don't see many like this on the market, with the in-ear bit at that particular angle. There is one major item I like to check before listening to any music when I get a new pair of headphones and that is construction.
For the price, around $70, they are constructed well, but could be better. The cord does have a plastic casing near the base of the headphone to protect it, but that could have been stronger. The actual earbuds are classic Skullcandy, deep and with a flimsy piece of carbon fiber keeping your over-abundance of ear wax from falling into the speaker. I've never liked this, and always felt that something needed to be done to secure these bits on better. I've never owned a pair of in-ear headphones that solved this problem.
For the record, this is probably going to be my last headphone review until the next one. Wait, what? So how do they sound? That's the question now, isn't it? Well, I generally have a standard slate of test tracks that I queue up, but I have some new tunes so I decided to switch it up just a bit. I started off with a mainstay, "Suddenly" by BT. The mix of highs, lows and electronic magic make for a good test of a headphone. The levels were nice, nothing too deep (as I've experienced with some Skullcandy headphones in the past) and the highs and minute details of the music were present.
The sound overall was very similar to the Titan, though The Fix seemed to lock in your ear in such a way that you get those minute details. Next up was some rock with good vocal range, so why not the new Muse album 2nd Law? On a side note, this is an excellent album, so go buy it now. The album kicks off with the song "Supremacy" which goes into some deep orchestration and vocal ranges. The Fix did a great job of picking all this up with no distortion or ranging out the music over the vocals.
I wanted to go lower, put in some bass. Something that would make my sub-woofer at home vibrate the neighbors house. So I switched over to one of Scrubclub's latest artists, Service Lab. Their EP R2D2 hit the lows well. Impressive bass from The Fix on the title track here, though I pretty much expected that from Skullcandy. While their headphones haven't always captured the highs very well, they've always handled the lows with supreme competence.
The real selling point of these headphones though is the shape and the ergonomic feel. They have an in-line microphone, but I don't really use that type of feature much. Though I'm pretty sure I listen to music too loud in the car, so I might need an in-line mic on my future hearing aid. Not sure how that would work though. The Skullcandy Fix in-ear headphones also come in a billion different colors, but that's not important. Well, it is to some people, the fashion conscious music aficionado.
WIRED Ergonomic and light, the Skullcandy Fix in-ear headphones carry great sound at a reasonable price.
TIRED The cord is still the classic rubber and you will eventually sweat through it.

Helicopter Crash: Recovery Work Starts
16 March 2014, 06:00 | Updated: 16 March 2014, 07:03
Experts scouring the wreckage of the helicopter crash which killed Conservative peer Lord Ballyedmond and three others will begin recovering crash debris today.
Two pilots killed in the crash in Norfolk were named as Carl Dickerson, chief pilot at Haughey Air Ltd, and Lee Hoyle, a co-pilot at the company, which was owned by the Tory entrepreneur who was one of the richest men in Northern Ireland.
The fourth man who died was named locally as Declan Small, 42, a foreman who worked for Lord Ballyedmond. He came from Mayobridge, Co Down.
Lord Ballyedmond's AgustaWestland AW139 helicopter came down in thick fog in a field in Gillingham, near Beccles, at 7.30pm on Thursday.
A spokesman for the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said: ``We are plotting the distribution of the debris on the field before removing fuel from the helicopter to make it safe.''
It has emerged that Haughey Air Ltd had lodged a writ against AgustaWestland over concerns about a helicopter it supplied.
The case was lodged in September last year and is understood to have included concerns about in-flight mapping systems.
A spokesman for AgustaWestland said the company could not comment on possible defects with Lord Ballyedmond's AW139 VIP helicopter but said it was investigating.
Norfolk Police confirmed that the helicopter took off from nearby Gillingham Hall shortly before the crash.
The crash site is an area of between 150 and 200 square metres, including ploughed fields, the force said.
All four people on board the helicopter were pronounced dead at the scene after it crashed in a field containing a wooded area, Norfolk Police said.
