Creating certificates on Azure
For a recent project project we were working on (Open Data Installer), there was the requirement to connect to the Azure Management API on behalf of the user in order to actually deploy the selected projects for them. In order to do this, you need to have the user add a certificate to the management certificates for their account (Why this functionality can't be done with OAuth and their Live account is something that I will never understand).
The decision to create the certificates on the server came up when we were discussing security around the application. It all came down to the fact that we wanted the user to be able to use the certificate once and then throw it away knowing that we there was no way we could access their account after the install process (done by them removing it from their Management Certificates). I guess we could have just used one certificate that they all could use, but having individual certificates used just gives that added piece of mind.
Enough of the use case, here comes the code:
From the command line, certificates are easy enough to generate, simply issue the command:
makecert.exe -r -pe -a sha1 -n \"CN=ODI Certificate\" -ss My -len 2048 -sp \"Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider\" -sy 24 {0}\\oidcertificate.cer";
Creating the same certificate on the server can be done using the ProcessStartInfo class.
Once you've copied makecert.exe to your instance (look for exactly how to do this in a future blog post), simply use the following code:1: string command = "-r -pe -a sha1 -n \"CN=ODI Certificate\" -ss My -len 2048 -sp \"Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider\" -sy 24 {0}\\oidcertificate.cer";
2:3: ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo();4: start.FileName = [Location of makecert] + "\\makecert.exe";5: start.Arguments = string.Format(command, [Output dir] );
6: start.WorkingDirectory = [Output dir];7: start.UseShellExecute = false;8: start.RedirectStandardOutput = true;9: start.RedirectStandardError = true;10: // Start the process with the info we specified.11: // Call WaitForExit and then the using statement will close.12: using (Process process = Process.Start(start))
13: {
14: process.WaitForExit();
16: var output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
17: var error = process.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
18: }
At this point you should deal with both the output and error variables to make sure that everything went well.
And that's it, the beauty of Azure compute instances is that for the most part there is very little in terms of coding that you could do on a dedicated server, that you can't do on Azure".
Getting started with WP7Dev
Earlier this week, I had the pleasure and privileged of being asked to be a guest on Microsoft Canada's Developers, Developers, Developers show talking about my experiences developing for the platform (the video of the show should be available soon). Those who know me well can attest to the fact that I absolutely love the platform and how easy it is to develop for (Market share not withstanding), so when they asked, I jumped at the opportunity.
The topic of the conversation was around how to start developing for the platform, so I thought I'd take a quick minute to jot down my thoughts on the matter. Without further ado, here's my list of three steps to getting started:
1. Pick an app
This one isn't platform specific, but rather what you should do no matter what platform your developing for. Far too often I see people getting into mobile development with aspirations they are going to retire on the income from their first app. Inevitably they fail and stop building anything.
Start small. Pick something that will help you out in your everyday life. The hardest thing to do in mobile development is figuring out what exactly your users are going to want, if your the client, this part becomes much, much easier.
Personally, I drink about 6 liters of Tim Horton's a day (just over a gallon and a half of Coffee for our American readers) and often found myself asking random strangers: "Where's Timmy". [Note: how this app got me a career building WP7 apps is a story for another day]
2. Read/Watch tutorials specific to what your trying to build.
While many people will shudder at this suggestion, your goal is to get your first app up and running as soon as possible. Forget reducing how much code is in your code behind, using IoC or any of the "cool" new technologies/methodologies, figure out what you need next and build just it. Once you've built the first version of your app and have that great feeling of using an app you've built on your own phone, you can go back and refactor that code you'd be embarrassed if anyone else saw.
In terms of where to look for tutorials, it really depends on how you learn best. For some people, video is king, and those people should check Channel 9 for your needs. Others learn better the written, you should check the official developer site as well as Jeff Blankenburg's fantastic series 31 Days of Mango
Above all else, just remember to get your app working and have some fun doing it!
3. Iterate
When initially looking at what features you are going to add to your application, cut out anything and everything that isn't absolutely vital to solving your problem.
Once you've gotten the bare minimum version of your app up and running, you'll often find that features that you thought you would need are no longer relevant. There will however be some new features that you hadn't even thought of that you now realize is absolutely imperative. That is how it goes with the iteration process.
Another great help when iterating on your app is to try and find users to help beta test it with you. Twitter is a great place to find people (make sure to use the #WP7Dev hash tag), as is the Canadian Developer Connection LinkedIn group, or you can send me a message (either through this site or on Twitter) and I'll see if I can help
Once again I'd like to thank the fine folks at Microsoft Canada!! Now get out there and build your apps.
Why Nokia coming to Windows phone is a huge deal
Shots taken with the X7 (left), Samsung Focus (center) and the N8 (right)
A little while ago Nokia was kind enough to invite about a dozen of us out to Canmore, Alberta for an event called #NokiaUnfenced; a weekend of fun while showing off a couple of their current phones. Being a big fan of the Windows Phone platform (both as a Developer and a Consumer) I was thrilled to get the chance to see what all the excitement was around the recent decision of Nokia's to go with the new platform. As such this won't be so much of a review of the software currently running on their phones, but rather a review of the hardware . Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get my hands on a device running WP (code named Sea Ray) what I did see paints an extremely attractive picture of what's on the horizon. If you'd like a review of the software and hardware together, a few of the other fantastic people who were on the trip have you covered here, here, and here.
History of the decision
In early February of this year, Stephen Elop, the newly appointed CEO of Nokia, send his now famous memo to employees where he likens Nokia's then strategy to a burning platform (the full text of the memo can be seen here.). Not long after that, Nokia announced that they would be phasing out Symbian as their OS of choice for smartphones and replacing it with Microsoft's Windows Phone Offering. In the landmark deal between the two behemoths, Nokia would bring an expanded range of phones, the Ovi maps technology, and their Carrier billing agreements, while MS would be bringing the OS as well as the various Bing technologies.
So without further ado, here's why I'm excited…
Great Camera
If you're like me then a lot of your discussions around any smartphone tend to focus on apps. What's the latest and greatest app for a platform, how many tens of thousands of apps are available, or which twitter client is currently my favourite are popular topics to argue at length about. But if you are like me, a very large portion of your actual usage is taking and showing off pictures.
For the most part, even though I've had a smartphone for the last 3-4 years and I've never been more than about 10 feet from it. Having said this, whenever I'm going to an event, be it my son's hockey game or out to the park with my daughter, I'll also bring a separate camera. While testing around with the X7 (or the N8) I've left the standalone camera at home. Almost all smartphone cameras these days are good enough for those spur of the moment, wow nobody's going to believe this, shots, Nokia's camera takes it from good enough to perfect for the job.
Going from the 5 megapixels on my Samsung Focus to the 8 megapixel in the X7 (or a ridiculous 12 megapixel for the N8) doesn't quite tell you the whole story. What seems to be the biggest improvement is the lens they are using. The Carl Ziess really delivers a crisp picture with fantastic colours that will make even the shots from sub amateur photographers (the category I find myself in) looking great.
One other quick thing to note is that the time difference between when you press the button and when the picture is actually taken (I'm sure there is a technical term for this) is much better on the X7 than on the Focus. While for landscape shots this isn't going to mean much, for action shots it's nice to be able to actually catch the action rather than a half second afterwards.
Mapping Features
Up until that weekend, when I thought of mobile mapping solutions, I really only thought of two different offerings, Bing maps and Google maps. While I'm not entirely sure that I'm sold on the overall visual aspects, there are quite a few things that have me extremely excited about the possibilities of Ovi Maps coming to Windows Phone. The first thing I noticed was that there were a couple of places that Bing Maps couldn't find that Ovi could (I'm wondering if the ranch was selected based on this, j/k ). The best feature Ovi has though is the ability to download the tiles for a given region, not having to download the tiles certainly helped in regions with spotty reception.
General Hardware feel
One of the biggest features that phone manufactures like to pull out is how light they have made their phones. While greatly reducing the weight of phones more than 10 years ago (think Zach Morris era ) was a great thing, it's my belief that it's gotten to the point that phones have gotten too light (apply ridiculous size of cell phones in Zoolander, to the weight of phones now). By reducing the weight as far as they have and by replacing parts of the case with flimsy plastic, many manufacturers have gone too far. The Nokia phones don't have this problem. This isn't to say that they are heavy bricks, but rather they have a weight that just feels right. One of the other guests at #NokiaUnfenced (who will remain nameless to protect them from the enevitable PETA backlash) summed it up with the line "A phone should have enough weight so that you could kill a small animal with it). While I certainly don't agree with killing small animals, I completely agree with the statement.
No more "This is how it should have been at launch"
Another thing that Nokia will have going for it when they finally do release their Window Phone offerings, is that they have bypassed the, at times, incomplete initial release of the WP operating system. While I understand that Microsoft had to start from scratch when building WP, I can't help but agree to a point with the crowd of people who are vocal about saying that the upcoming Mango release has the feature set that should have launched with the phone. Nokia won't ever have to hear these complaints as they'll be launching with the fully featured Mango OS.
Final thoughts
All in all, I've got to say that going in to the weekend I really didn't know why everyone in the Windows Phone community was so excited about the Nokia deal. After the weekend I completely understand it. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think that when Sea Ray is release your going to start seeing landfills full of iPhones and Android devices, but it's certainly a large step in the right direction for the platform that could sorely use it. Personally I'll be picking one of them up as soon as I can get my hands on one.
Quick tip: Getting your JSON out of a WebException
When prototyping out a recent project, I ran into a new issue that I hadn't seen before, a web service that sent back both a non 200 error code, but also returned relevant JSON data.
The problem happens when trying to get the JSON data about the error. Since a non-200 Response has been returned you can no longer use the following code:
1: void wc_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender,
2: DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
3: {
4: var jsonContent = e.Result;
5: //Do Stuff Here
6: }
So the first thing you have to do is check for the Error property and deal with it appropriately. Luckily for us the Error property has a reference to the actual Response which we can use to get the information we want like so:
1: void wc_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender,
2: DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
3: {
4: string content = string.Empty;
6: if (e.Error != null)
7: {
8: var we = e.Error as WebException;
9: var stream = we.Response.GetResponseStream();
10: content = new StreamReader(stream).ReadToEnd();
11: }
12: else
13: content = e.Result;
15: //Do Stuff Here
16: }
Of course you'll need to do more error checking that this and make sure that the response code that you want is actually the one you are receiving, but this shows the just of what our solution was.
SysTray + Panorama: mostly still a no-go in Mango
One of the most prevalent comments that I've gotten whenever we've built a WP7 application using a Panorama, is "What happened to the time thingie?" For those who don't know, the time thingie is called the System Tray as shown here:
As a developer, the last thing I want to do is take functionality away from users, but in this case, if you're using a Panorama background image, you have to. The reason I say you have to is that the System Tray won't overlay over any of your controls, but rather it will take up the top small amount of space at the top of your page pushing everything else down. So here's the XAML and what it will look like using the sample panorama project installed by default when you install the Windows Phone Developer Tools:
Not exactly the most appealing look of all time now is it?
When first reading through the help files online for the beta of the Mango release, I noticed that you could now set both the background and foreground colors, problem solved right?
Well… not really.
The first issue is that pops up is that the pattern on the background that the starter project uses has some designs that run off of the screen (not sure I like this fact since for the rest of the phone when something runs off screen it means you can scroll to it), since we can't set a background image for the system tray, it looks kind of funny.
That's alright for me though, as I rarely use background image that has funky circles in it anyways. However, scrolling over one panorama item shows the next issue: tall letters in your panorama title:
That's right, it's not just the design that gets clipped by the new System Tray, but also taller letters also have this problem as well.
So if the new System Tray has all these issues with design, what good is it then? For some of the applications we've built, we use a panorama that uses the logo of the company for the panorama title.
In that small use case, then we can finally get what our users are asking for. So as the title says:
SysTray + Panorama: mostly still a no-go in Mango

July 9, 2007
Albany -- School starts back in less than a month, and parents need to know there are new immunization requirements for students.
Children entering kindergarten, sixth grade or enrolling in school for the first time in Georgia, must have a second dose of both the chickenpox and mumps vaccine. Also, children born after January 1, 2006 must be vaccinated against Hepatitis A. And children under five must have a vaccine against pneumonia.
Two immunization clinics will be held so parents can avoid that back to school rush and get their kids up to date.
"The wait time will certainly be decreased and if they run into some problems where they don't have all the information they need, it will allow them to get that information as well," said Health Department LPN Suzette Profit.
The immunization clinics will be held July 21st and August 4th from noon until four at the Dougherty County Health Department.

The Russian meat processing industry is on the verge of a crisis, with dozens of producers facing the possibility of going bankrupt in the coming months, according to industry sources.
Norway's Ministry of Agriculture and Food has included poultry products in its investigation of meat production and retail prices following fresh data indicating a sharp 7.1% price rise, despite an over-supply situation, in retail chicken prices between March and August.
Pricing across the global poultry market is expected to remain bullish, despite the recent Russian ban, according to a new report by Rabobank.
The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) Meat Price Index averaged 207.3 points last month – up 1.2% (2.5 points) off July's revised value.
Two hundred birds have been destroyed after low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) was discovered at a poultry farm in Luangprabang, Laos.

The sauna and steam room are great places to make friendly conversation and meet new people. Being naked whilst swimming, relaxing and chatting is treated as a fact of life, divorced from sexual arousal, and nothing to be self conscious about. From my experience, naturists are very accepting people; they see people for who they are rather than for what they look like.

Gilt Groupe's IPO Could Be a Sign for E-Commerce Companies
In a sign that IPO activity in the e-commerce space could be coming back after a long slow period, the online luxury goods retailer Gilt Groupe will be going public sometime this year, a company insider told Re/code.
The source told Re/code that the New York City-based company's initial public offering will take place during the third quarter of 2014.
Bloomberg reported that Goldman Sachs is managing the company's IPO. The financial services firm invested $138 million in Gilt in 2011, contributing to the $200 million in funding Gilt has received since its 2007 launch.
Few e-commerce companies have gone public in recent years, in part because of the growing dominance of Amazon in the space, according to Bloomberg. Zulily, a shopping site for mothers, was seen as an exception when it went public last year.
Gilt Groupe "is in a good place, and the market is a good place," the anonymous source told Re/code. "That doesn't happen very often."
Gilt, which hosts flash sales of luxury designer clothing, generated more than $550 million in sales in 2012, up from $450 million the previous year. Revenue figures for 2013 were not available, but Re/code reports that the company was not profitable for the year.
After expanding its following, Gilt launched a full-priced men's business line, a food section, and a separate travel site. Those ventures failed, and Gilt cut 10 percent of its staff in early 2012 and focused on its flagship business of discounted designer goods, Re/code reports.

(UPDATE: Police have arrested two suspects in connection with these break-ins. Read more here.)
It's happened again this summer. Quincy police are investigating a rash of car burglaries.
It's been going on for a couple of days and detectives are looking to see if any of the cases can be linked.
"My whole window was just shattered, completely, just out," Kim Johnson, a victim of the break-ins, said.
Johnson woke up Tuesday morning to find her passenger window busted, glass littered her backyard and her sense of safety severely shaken.
"We never have had any issues with anything around here," she said.
Johnson was one of several residents to be hit in her Quincy neighborhood. She says her purse was stolen, but nothing else was touched. What's most surprising to her is the doors were locked and her car was parked just steps away from her house.
"The fact that they were gutsy enough to come up to someone's private driveway, and break a window and get in," she said.
Lieutenant Dina Dreyer with the Quincy Police Department says thieves have been targeting both unlocked and locked vehicles, and usually taking cash, sometimes also snatching electronics. She says it's hard for police officers to do anything about it right away.
"It's hard for us to stop them or prevent them from happening because they do happen at night, under cover of darkness," she says.
Dreyer says police are looking into the burglaries, and says many times neighbors help them catch the crooks.
"Usually we get lucky and someone will see something or hear something and we'll respond, based on that information."

Back to School Recipe: Peanut Butter and Fruit "Sushi"
We're not usually big on gimmicky recipes, but the beginning of another school year put us in the mood to make something fun for lunch boxes, even if our own school days are long behind us.
We've seen a few peanut butter and jelly "sushi" recipes, but they are usually more like thin wraps, and we wanted to make something with a little more structure. And sure, it's essentially just a peanut butter and fruit sandwich, but we had fun with it and we think younger eaters might too.
We used fresh apple and mango, sliced into thin strips to give the rolls some body, and accented them with raisins and toasted coconut.
We're planning to keep this idea in our back pocket for the next time we find ourselves entertaining children, and let them play with the combinations. The possibilities are endless - crushed nuts, halved grapes, peaches or pears, maybe even celery or carrot sticks. Or for something really sweet - banana and chocolate chips.
Peanut Butter and Fruit "Sushi"
4 slices whole wheat bread
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 Granny Smith apple or 1 mango, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
1/4 cup raisins or 1/4 cup toasted coconut
Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional)
Equipment: sushi mat, plastic wrap, rolling pin or tortilla press
If you're using apples and won't be eating the rolls right away, toss the strips with a little lemon juice.
For the rolls, start by flattening the slices of bread. We used a tortilla press lined with plastic wrap, but a rolling pin would work fine too. Cover the sushi mat with plastic wrap. Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread, covering the whole slice. Add desired fillings horizontally on the bottom third of the slice.
Using the mat, carefully roll from the bottom of the slice, tucking the ingredients under. Pull back the mat and plastic wrap and finish rolling the bread. Use the mat to shape and secure the roll. Slice into 5-6 pieces. Repeat with remaining slices of bread.

This is a cute idea to keep kids busy AND feed them.
Although I think I would try cutting the crusts off so the ends 'stick' a little better.
Is there an easy way to print this out? I see there's tons of ways to share it but what about printing it?
Great idea!!!
This would also be great with veggies and hummus!
I want to try this with celery in the middle for structure and using a wheat wrap. Looks delish!

They collect data with a toolbar that users install and they collect data on community searches. They focus on nine verticals: Sports, Environment, Education, Web Games, Online Radio, Music, Online Radio, Jobs, Travel, and Shopping verticals. I wish they had one for tech or blogs.
To see the trends for October 2007, see http://www.conduit.com/Community/CommunityTrends/Default.aspx.
I just had to laugh at this description of themselves as entrepreneurial superstars who dream of "patentable ideas" in their sleep (this really captures the unfettered optimism of entrepreneurs):
"Conduit is run by a team of successful, passionate entrepreneurs who wake up with patentable ideas in the middle of the night and execute them, to the delight of the general public."
If only the general public could understand exactly what they offer…
Conduit has more than 12 million users and there are toolbars created for Web 2.0, and TechCrunch.
Any publisher can create their own free toolbar for your site. People can put it on their browser. It's like the Google toolbar but it's just for your community. They make money by profit sharing with Google when people use the toolbar for web search. It has an embedded audio player and a video player is coming soon.
To learn more, watch the video of Scoble interviewing Reena Jadhav, head of marketing for Conduit. It's entertaining how Scoble tries to get a straight and clear understanding of what the value of the service is and how it works. Not as easy as you'd think.
I'd say it this way: Conduit lets you build your own customized toolbar so people can subscribe, chat, and interact with your site. And as an example, we could create a Marketing Pilgrim branded toolbar that our readers can download. You get your own subdomain so ours would be http://marketingpilgrim.conduit.com/

Knit with a Magic Ball from Emilie Parson's Etsy Shop
Pigment! (blogged here / on ravelry here)
I really need to get more knitting time! Look at this beautiful shawl. Imagine a light gray with dots in all the rainbow colors. Or just black and white, with one single dot in color. Or maybe six shades of green. Or yellow, orange and red on white. As I said… I need to get more knitting time.
Dalek lace pattern. DALEK LACE PATTERN.
OH MY THAT IS AN AWESOME IDEA! I love leaves. leafs. what. Anyway, this is great.
Oh my, that's a beautiful shawl! I'd like it in red. And probably in green or blue or purple or … okay, any colour would work.
This is a lovely shawl, made by the uniquely talented Olga Buraya-Kefelian, also known as Olgajazzy on her blog and on ravelry. Sadly, she does not want anyone to republish her images, so I can only urge you to go look it up.
I fell completely in love with this design, and I can picture it in so many different shades. I love the ingenuity of making it possible to knit two shawls, with the colours inverted.
…and now for the finished product.
Percey Scarf by Sanne K. of Bit of Knit.
That is just beatiful. Got to love the magic of blockin ;)
my unblocked shawl. dispite my initial issue with the pattern I really enjoyed it. now its stranded up with thread and ready for blocking.
Looks lovely already, can't wait to see the finished shawl!

Paul Daley (33-13) vs Romario Manoel da Silva (23-11) Fight Video BAMMA 14. The bout took place on 12/14/2013 in LG Arena, Birmingham, West Midlands, England.
God damn!
Good KO!
night night!
Too bad you'll never fight again in the UFC you cocky c-u-n-t!!! Ha,ha,ha!
He can knock guys out from small shows for sure. He never proved a thing in the big show,besides he is a poor sport.
"Semtex" one of the most well earned nicknames in the sport.
Da Silva looks like he should be in a higher weight class, either way great KO by daley. I still love how Diaz owned him in the standup department and finished him in the 1st.
everytime someone has to say something negative about a fighter at least he did not kept punching the guy after the k'o like demitrous mouse did
Looked good and seems to have a more humble attitude. If he keeps up the good performances as well as staying classy, I could see Uncle Dana giving him a one fight contract. Go Paul!
Daley was always legit. Even in the UFC. He just has the psycho mentality when in the cage. Kinda like Diaz. I am still a fan of his
that pic of daley always cracks me up. what is he doing? he seriously looks like he's doing a very good impression of someone with a mental disability.
Brutal KO… The guy is clearly legit for any promoter… He is damned skilled with his hands… Too bad he acted like an idiot vs super d!ckhead…
Daley gets pelted with a water bottle @ 8:17. Watch for it.
Yea i love Daley,
Diaz didnt own him, in fairness it was a great 1st round war, Diaz got rocked ref left it Daley got rocked ref stepped in with 1 second on the clock.
None the less, bet he wishes he never smacked Kos. Has worked a lot on his grappling too
That might be the hardest upward punch I have ever seen connect! Made the commentators sound like Beavis & Butthead when he knocked em out
Hihi, Daley looked like a little monkey sitting on a branch after he won

Vale Park is a football stadium in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, England. It is the home ground of Port Vale F.C., who have played at the ground since 1950. The ground has seen its capacity go up and down, its peak being 42,000 in 1954 against Blackpool, although a club record 49,768 managed to squeeze in for a 1960 FA Cup fifth round fixture against Aston Villa.
It now has a notional capacity of around 22,000; however with all the developments and a switch to an all-seater stadium in recent years, it is more likely around 19,000 once the Lorne Street stand is completed. At 520 feet above sea level it is the eleventh highest ground in the country, and second highest in the Football League. The pitch is clay underneath the grass, rather than sand. These two factors make the pitch vulnerable to freezing temperatures.
There is also a coal seam under the pitch, and numerous mine shafts dotted around the local area, including many under the park opposite the ground. The Head Groundsman is Steve Speed, as of September 2011. He was one of three groundsmen nominated for the League Two Groundsmen of the Year award in 2009. The Vale Park pitch is one of the widest in the Football League.

Apple Treats Us to New iPad Wallpapers With iOS 5.1. 9to5 Mac has a nice surprise today with news of the early release by Apple of four new default wallpapers that are expected to come as standard with the iPad version of iOS 5.1, which is expected to appear with the iPad 3 sometime in 2012, possibly March, although that's pure conjecture at this stage of course!
This will come as great news for those of us who are looking for a change from the current default wallpapers and who can't be bothered to install their own personal wallpapers! The four new themes are not especially groundbreaking, however, comprising two ocean wallpapers, waves beating against a sandy shore, and blades of grass. 9to5 Mac actually has the wallpapers available to download now via the link below, not just the iPad versions, but also smaller versions for the iPhone and iPod touch Retina. Simply click on the specific links at the bottom of the news story. Download Apple's new iPad wallpapers coming in iOS 5.1 (iPhone versions, too!) Probably the new default iOS 5.1 has a little gem for wallpaper fanatics like me: Apple will include four new wallpapers in the iPad version of iOS 5.1 (likely the release launching alongside the iPad 3 next year).
The new wallpapers are water crashing onto a sand beach, grass blades, and two ocean wallpapers. These are reminiscent of some of the OS X Lion wallpapers, but scaled to the iPad's screen size.

WASHINGTON/NEW DELHI: US first lady Michelle Obama and secretary of state John Kerry will honour Nirbhaya with a posthumous "woman of courage" award for her bravery in the face of a brutal sexual assault that awakened India to its appalling treatment of women.
The US state department said Nirbhaya's ordeal and perseverance to fight for justice was helping to lift the stigma and vulnerability that drives violence against women. It recognized the 23-year-old as 'Nirbhaya' (the fearless one), a name given by TOI, ahead of a formal ceremony to honour her along with 10 other women.
In Delhi, Nirbhaya's family said they were glad that their feisty daughter was chosen for this prestigious international honour. But they couldn't hide the fact that life had almost come to a stop for them since the tragic loss.
When TOI visited the family's home in south Delhi, Nirbhaya's mother said the elder of her two sons was the most affected by his sister's death. "Since the incident, he has stopped going for coaching classes for engineering entrance exams. He has become very quiet," she said.
The boy, who has cleared class XII, wants to pursue engineering. "He filled up forms for examinations due in April. Let's see how he fares," added his mother. He isn't the only one affected in the family. Both of Nirbhaya's parents have been struggling with health issues since her death. "I developed high blood pressure during those 10 days. When that was controlled, her father came down with a knee infection," said the mother. "For the last 20 days we have been running to doctors for her father's right knee, which has swollen due to fluid accumulation," she said, adding that the cops had been helpful and provide them with transport for the hospital trips. The family says that they are glad to know that their daughter is being honoured. "I also expressed my gratitude when the government had made the announcement of the Nirbhaya fund. It is good that in some way or the other there is an intention to control crime against women," her father added. However, the family is still trying to pick up the pieces after Nirbhaya's death.
The family has not been attending court hearings of the gang-rape trial. Nirbhaya's brother said it was too painful. He also wished he would never come face to face with the accused.
The family said they were informed about the award on Sunday. "A few officials from the US embassy visited and asked us to give a small note on (Nirbhaya). We gave it to them but at that time we did not really know what it was about," said Nirbhaya's father. "On Tuesday morning, we started getting calls from relatives and reporters who informed us of the award. Later in the afternoon the embassy officials spoke to us saying the award will be given in Delhi," the father added. "A lot of unknown people come and ask us about her, media as well. We answer all queries, but it is painful. We go back to the same sadness," said the father, recounting how two days back an interview got the entire family crying for hours.
The US state department, which has decided to honour Nirbhaya with a posthumous bravery award, said the courageous 23-year-old physiotherapy intern "has become the foundation of a popular movement to end violence against women in India".
"In the wake of her death…India's active civil society began advocating heavily for legislation and social programs to stem gender-based violence in all its forms and to ensure higher rape conviction rates and gender-sensitive law enforcement and justice systems. Thanks to these efforts, the Indian government has begun to take action to follow through on those demands," read a citation released for the award.
Nirbhaya's family will receive the award in Delhi while a statement prepared by them will be read out at Friday's awards ceremony in the US. The Department of State's International Women of Courage Award annually recognizes women around the globe who have shown exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for women's rights and empowerment, often at great personal risk. Since the inception of this award in 2007, the Department of State has honoured 67 women from 45 countries.
The awardees for 2013 besides Nirbhaya are Malalai Bahaduri, first sergeant, Afghan National Interdiction Unit (Afghanistan); Samira Ibrahim, coordinator, Know Your Rights (Egypt); Julieta Castellanos, rector, National Autonomous University of Honduras (Honduras); Josephine Obiajulu Odumakin, president, Campaign for Democracy (Nigeria); Elena Milashina, journalist, human rights activist (Russia); Fartuun Adan, executive director, Elman Peace and Human Rights Centre (Somalia); Tsering Woeser (Wei Se), Tibetan author, poet, blogger (China); Razan Zeitunah, human rights lawyer and founder, Local Coordination Committees (Syria) and Ta Phong Tan, blogger (Vietnam).
The last three awardees will also not be able to receive the award in person at the ceremony at the state department where first lady Michelle Obama will recognize the 10. Following the award ceremony, the honorees will travel separately to cities across the United States to engage with the American people through an international visitor leadership program. They will visit Indianapolis, Jackson Hole, Portland, San Francisco, and Tampa. The women will reconvene in San Diego to reflect on their visit and discuss ways to work together to improve the lives of women and girls around the world.

Statement by the President on the Lunar New Year
Michelle and I send our warmest wishes to all those who will be celebrating the Lunar New Year this Sunday, February 10th. Here in America and around the world, people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent will welcome the Year of the Snake. In Chinese tradition, the snake represents wisdom, and a thoughtful approach to tackling the challenges before us – principles that I hope will continue to guide us as we perfect our union and create a more just and equal future for every American. Our challenges may be great, but our diversity and the traditions that thrive here give us the strength to meet them. To everyone celebrating the Lunar New Year, I wish you peace, prosperity and good health and fortune.
She is most definitely the Best FLOTUS Ever.
The Post's treatment of feminism and Michelle Obama has more B.S. than intersectionality. The obfuscations abound. First, there is this odd aside to "feminist Americans" later placed in opposition to "black feminists." It is unclear who the former is but it is particularly clear who the latter is not: black feminists are not mainstream feminists. This treatment of feminism sets up the premise that Michelle Obama may be living some black feminist fantasy but she has not ascended to acceptable "feminist American" ideals. The idea of being a "mom-in-chief" is apparently antithetical to acceptable choices that feminist Americans make. I do not want to pile on the writer. Frankly, her artlessness only reveals what many believe. Her problem is not that she has said that Michelle Obama is failing at feminism; it's that she did not obscure that belief in the elitism that Slaughter so casually tosses about her "having it all" thesis.
Black feminists have been fighting this fight for a long time. The tension is grounded in the relative position to power that the Anne Marie Slaughters of the world have enjoyed by their proximity to white men. But Michelle turns that equation on its head. She is as close to power as any white woman has ever been. She is making choices afforded to her by the role of First Lady. That her choice is to work in the home rather than the workforce is only revolutionary because she is black. Every white First Lady has made the same decision. They were chided but they were not unilaterally cast as feminist failures. Neither was feminism constructed as "feminist Americans" versus black feminists to deconstruct the choices of white First Ladies. I do not recall a single instance of mainstream reporting on the black feminist response to Hillary Clinton as she reshaped the role of First Lady. Why, then, is it salient now?
Well, we know why, of course. We cannot reconcile Michelle Obama in the feminist imaginary anymore than we have been able to reconcile the reality of black women or poor women or immigrant women or trans women or any non-middle class white woman with "feminist Americans." No matter how you define it, black women have always worked. Our bodies were literally constructed through enslavement as work units and modes of production. Our reproduction was a capitalist endeavor in labor production. If no black woman ever again works in the paid labor force in any position ever again ever, we are all rightful heirs to feminism by virtue of our lived historical experience in the U.S. Black women do not have to earn feminism. If anything, feminism should be earning black women. Even if we put aside the issues of terming motherhood as non-work as compatible with feminism (which it is not), the idea that someone who has come through black women, as has Michelle Obama, would need to prove her feminist bona fides to "feminist Americans" is ahistorical and disingenuous.
It is also why "having it all" debates hold very little appeal for me.
—Tressie McMillan Cottom, "Washington Post and 'Feminist Americans' Won't Let Michelle Obama Have It All," The Feminist Wire 1/20/13 (via racialicious)

A new challenger is vying for a seat on the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors. JAUNT Assistant Director Brad Sheffield announced Tuesday he will run as a Democrat for the Rio District seat.
If elected, Sheffield says his background in transportation planning will help improve infrastructure in the county.
"We definitely have a legacy of supervisors and county staff working to build secondary corridors that provide alternative transportation choices," said Sheffield.
Sheffield says his platform will also focus on workforce development and public education. He is running against Republican incumbent Rodney Thomas.

VERO BEACH -- A perplexing problem with honeybees is the topic of the next film in the Social Justice film series at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Vero Beach.
"Vanishing of the Bees" is a documentary film produced in 2009 that illustrates the impact bees on food crops around the world, and a phenomenon called colony collapse disorder that is threatening agriculture's future.
The free film will be shown at 7 p.m. on June 9 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at 1590 27th Ave. in Vero Beach. While the film showing is free, donations are accepted to help cover the cost of the film's screening rights fee.
Glenn Rogers, chairman of the social justice film committee for the church, said the film is very interesting and he is interested for the discussion it will generate after the viewing.
Steve Lapointe, a local entomologist, will be leading the discussion time, Mr. Rogers said.
"In the film series, we try to discuss some issues that affect the planet and the way we live," Mr. Rogers said. "Bees are an integral part of growing food for their pollinating abilities, as is illustrated in the film."
Commercial honeybee operations pollinate crops that make up one-third of food served as human food, but the bees have been curiously disappearing across the planet, a press release said.
"Vanishing of the Bees" follows two commercial beekeepers as they strive to keep their bees healthy and fulfill pollination contracts across the U.S. In the film, the two plead their case on Capitol Hill and travel across the Pacific Ocean in the quest to protect their bees.
Bees help farmers produce a variety of crops, including apples, broccoli, watermelon, onions and cherries.
"If we didn't have the pollination, some of the things we love to eat we wouldn't have anymore," Mr. Rogers said.
The film highlights scientists discussing the disappearance of honeybees, and the musings of organic beekeepers for its cause. Though many years of research has been done, a definitive answer has not yet been found, though pesticides could be partly to blame.
In Indian River County, the relationship between bees and the citrus industry is a little different, said Mr. Lapointe, who has a doctorate degree in entomology from Cornell University.
Besides classes on bees while studying at the university level, Mr. Lapointe has also kept bees in various stages of his life.
While bees are found in many citrus groves, scientists have not determined that pollination is crucial to the crop success of many varieties of citrus, especially grapefruit, he said.
"Instead of bees helping the groves by pollinating, the bees use the groves for its nectar and to produce sweet honey," Mr. Lapointe said. "Because there are so many varieties of citrus, scientist cannot univocally say that bees have no benefit to a citrus grove, and their precise impact on the groves is not clear."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The flu in Wisconsin has sent more than 1,300 people to the hospital, state health officials say.
One person has also died from the illness, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
These numbers are in stark contrast to last year when Wisconsin had less than 400 hospitalizations for the entire flu season.
Health experts say the flu vaccine is still the best way to avoid the flu along with other common-sense tips like washing your hands.

rig masterpost
ages ago I posted a fair bit about my guitar gear and aload of people were interested so I thought I'd keep the people who might (or might not anymore) care updated.
so ages ago I released a small post rock EP
looking back on that the mastering is appalling but the songs are okay I guess..
that was the last time I posted about what I was using for you GAS'rs so here you go:
Danelectro Wasabi. Danelectro have some cool pedals but their CEO donates $$$$$ to anti-gay activists all the time so I brought this off of ebay (plus it was cheaper! WOWEBAY) nice chorus & trem HOWEVER it's fucking ugly & you really have to tweak it to stop affecting your volume.
EHX Memory Toy. Can't go wrong!
Belcat Analog Delay. OMG FGYHJKDSA these are £20 brand new, metal MXR-ish box and everything and they are BRILLIANT. They're not true bypass but are hardly tone sucking.
Ibanez Paul Gilbert AF-2. this is fucking fun. umm I think they're £150 - £200 but it's epic. It's a flanger with a built in pitch-shifter and you can get some crazy ASIWYFA-ish sounds out of it.
Russian Big Muff. Better than the USA counterpart (I have owned both) I had to shop around for this, couldn't find a UK stockist anywhere.
Behringer Slow Motion. This is the second one I have owned (fucking Behringer) it's a clone of a really old Boss pedal that basically acts as a kind of one-directional volume sweep (as if you were rolling on the volume pot of your guitar).
Playing through a Laney LV300H and respective straight cab (angled cabs are ugly imo). Same amp Jamie Lenman from Reuben uses W00.

|Collective bargaining negotiations off to rocky start
|Written by Frank Seravalli
|Sunday, 15 July 2012 16:14
Negotiations have officially begun for the Collective Bargaining Agreement and, with their initial offer, the NHL decided to swing for the fences. Their lopsided offer has now set the tone for what are sure to be a tense couple of months.After opening formal negotiations in New York a couple weeks ago, the NHL's negotiating committee was nice enough to travel to the NHL Players Associations' headquarters Toronto for more intense Collective Bargaining sessions last week.
They just forgot to bring a housewarming gift.
Their initial offer, it seems, was less than inviting.
According to multiple reports, including from RDS' Renaud Lavoie in Montreal and the New York Post's Larry Brooks, the NHL was swinging for the fences in its opening get-down-to-business talks.
The proposal comes in five parts, according to Lavoie:
1. A reduction in the players' share of hockey-related revenues (HRR) from 57 percent to 46 percent.
2. Players will need to accrue 10 seasons in the NHL before acquiring unrestricted free agency status, as opposed to the current minimum age of 27.
3. Contracts would be limited to a maximum term of 5 years.
4. The option of salary arbitration before a neutral arbitrator would no longer exist.
5. Entry-level contracts for draft picks and undrafted free agents would last for 5 years instead of the current 3 year deals.
Brooks added that the NHL would like salaries to remain equal in every year of a new contract, as opposed to front-loading or back-loading a deal. The salary cap ceiling would be set at $62.2 million this fall, as opposed to the $70.2 tentative cap, with a floor nearly $4 million above the current minimum.
That ding you just heard was signaling the end of Round 1 of what promises to be a 15-round main event before the league's current CBA expires on Sept. 15.
It's possible that more than a few players involved in the select negotiating committee, headed by NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr had to pick their jaws up off the floor when walking out of the meeting on Friday.
Yes, the terms of that offer are flat-out absurd. From the NHL perspective, that is the art of negotiating. Every good negotiator starts low. You can always raise your offer.
The only problem, especially when dealing with an embattled Players Association that lost an entire season in 2004-05 and bent over backward for owners, is that perhaps making an offer too low would set things off on the wrong skate.
In reality, not every one of those proposals is a surprise. We've known for nearly two years that the owners would try to knock down the players' piece of the pie, since the NFL and NBA nearly got their players down to 50 percent with their own lockouts.
This time, the owners would like to redefine what exactly counts as HRR, which would further reduce the gross of the pie.
That's a double slap in the face for the players, in addition to that small, 46 percent number. It would be a different story if the owners were willing to widen what counts as HRR to further sweeten the pot and then knock it down to 46 percent.
That's not the case.
Some have called this a Declaration of War by the NHL, in an attempt to flex its muscles in the early stages of negotiating.
For me, it's just hard to believe that 7 years later, the owners are so disgusted with the system they thought was worth losing a season to enact that now they want such a drastic change.
The ridiculous term and money – see: Kovalchuk, Ilya and his 15-year, $100 million deal – that has been thrown around during lean free agency summers, and the ever-escalating salary cap floor which requires teams to spend absurd money on mediocre players just to get there, has created this mess.
The point is that NHL business has been healthy, posting record revenues in seven consecutive years. There is a reason that the salary cap ceiling has continued to escalate so rapidly, from $39 million to a proposed $70.2 million, and it's all tied to that HRR.
According to recent tax filings unearthed by the Toronto Star, Gary Bettman's personal salary has increased from $3.7 million in 2005 to $7.5 million in 2012.
Yes, the first shots have been fired. The skies look gloomy as an apparent storm is rolling in – one that has been brewing for a long time.
But it's still July. Training camps do not open for another two months. Owners aren't losing money at this point in the summer and players aren't making any.
But after that egregious, 24 percent salary rollback in 2004-05, we just have a feeling the owners were looking for a starting point. This time, they are going to be the ones needing to raise their offer.

Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
1 Corinthians 2:16
Our contemporary culture desires things to happen as quickly and conveniently as possible. Yet when it comes to knowing others, and knowing ourselves, "quick and convenient" breeds superficiality. Our love for expediency is making us strangers to one another, and strangers to ourselves.
A wise man long ago said that an unexamined life is not worth living. I would add: an unexamined life is impossible to live faithfully and well. One reason for this is that controlling our desires has everything to do with getting to know ourselves better—that is, understanding what people, situations, and substances give us problems, and what responses are effective in countering them.
A good way to begin practicing the examined life is to ask yourself what you're feeling before you indulge your cravings. Our cravings are often the result of—and a superficial way of dealing with—some negative emotion. . . anger, depression, anxiety, boredom, loneliness, etc. Once you've identified the feeling behind the drive, you can more appropriately express or deal with it, instead of engaging in some appetite you think will make the feeling disappear.
When you learn to know yourself and express your feelings appropriately, your appetites can stop being emotional buffers and once again serve the purposes God intended them to serve.
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind."-William James (1842-1910)
