I love Loganberry Inn! I have visited about 5 or 6 times now, and have stayed in a couple of different rooms. I loved them both! Cathy is the best hostess...warm, friendly, funny, and she makes the most awesome breakfasts!!! I have never left that table hungry or disappointed. The town offers a surprising amount to do, and Cathy stays up on it all. I always have a great time visiting with the other guests. If we couldn't keep the conversation going, Cathy will join in and keep it lively! I look forward to going back, and plan to for years to come!

Cathy made our stay at Loganberry Inn. She was helpful with suggestions and very gracious and made the most marvelous breakfasts. We had a delightful room called the Presidents Room and sat on the front porch watching the world go by was fun for a change. I would recommend this B & B to anyone who wants to experience Fulton, MO.

With Kathy's help we were able to make good use of our brief time in Fulton. We have already recommended the inn to several people.

Cathy was very welcoming when we got there. She had our info all ready for us. We were able to take advantage of the Ultimate Romance Weekend Package, and it was well worth the extra. We stayed in the Garden Room which housed a wonderful spa tub for 2. Would love to return some day!
4.0 on July 23, 2014
I would definately stay there again. Hotel choices in the area don't compare. The only negative is that the bathroom was extremely small, otherwise, everything elsa was fine.
4.6 on July 18, 2014
The owners couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. They made us feel right at home. The breakfast was amazing. We will certainly stay there again when we are up that way, and would fully recommend the inn to anyone wanting a quality stay and breakfast in central Missouri.

Outstanding stay at the Loganberry Inn! What a wonderful B&B and great proprieters in Cathy and Carl McGeorge! If you haven't been lucky enough to stay at the Loganberry, you really need to put this destination on your list. And while you're in Fulton, visit the fabulous Churchill Museum, which is across the street from the Loganberry. And have dinner at Beks Restaurant in the Fulton Brick District - fantastic!

Sexual assault in the military has been widely publicized over the past few years thanks to the courage of many military survivors who came forward to tell their stories in the groundbreaking documentary, "The Invisible War," and to seek justice and reform through a series of lawsuits aiming to change the way the military prosecutes rape. This being said, for far too long the military sexual assault culture went unnoticed – a terrifyingly well-kept secret.
Today, we have the privilege to join Susan Burke, lead counsel on the case, for an informative discussion on rape and sexual assault in our society, how a culture of secrecy, shame and intimidation impacts colleges campuses and other institutions throughout the country, and how victims can be their own advocates for change. Hope to see you there.

Educating women really means ending violence
We all know that women are the backbone of the family everywhere in this world, they are the daughters, sisters, mothers and wives to someone, starting from the families we should educate our daughters so that when they turn to be mothers they educate their kids as well, in other words educating kids while they are still young means educating the future leaders and presidents and this world will turn into a better place to live.
All these men who are destroying the world or creating violence and instability all the time are our sons, brothers, husbands, or fathers, if they could have been educated in the first place they wouldn't have behaved this way. Mothers are the first school any kid can have, and just imagine an educated mom and how she tries to help her kids by improving they way of living an uneducated mom who doesn't even know how to read or write and when her kids come from school she can't even help them read and revise their lessons.
Observing all that, and how ladies can turn this world in to a better place why is it that we keep our daughters at home to do the household and we send our sons to schools to study? Why can we give them equal opportunities to study? Why can't we educate our daughters so that they educate their kids to turn this world in to a better place, a world free from violence and conflicts?
Asking ourselves all these questions what do you think we do so that we solve these problems?.
Re:Educating Women
Hello Dear Maryan, I think you got a point there.
Women needs to be skilled as well as to be aware of the values in investing in women's education. though women are known to be the backbones in the family, dont forget that they are just there to implement the acts(orders) from their husbands. These womens opinion are not considered or better still, they are not decision makers in their homes, and thus you noticed that the men decides on who to sponsor to school and who to stay at home. In such a situation, the mothers(women) of these children, with little or no skill to sustained the family will have no say than to succumb to what the husband says.
That remains me, sometimes, I feel women are just being flattered as when we used the words "women are the home backbone" bc in real sense these women don't execute their full rights as the firm supporters of the family, and that is also another reason why policies implemented have not been successful because of the lack of both partners joining forces, ideas to End all forms of discrimination against Women. for example, How can we be talking about VAW where the UN hasn't any agency for Women not until last June 2010 with UN Women Born www.gearcampaign.org
Dear! what we need to do is to involve every body;locally ,regional , globally into the struggle. Most importantly encourage women & girls to take up leadership position.
Many thanks for sharing your thought with us here on pulsewire, "Together Men and Women, unite to End VAW" .
Stay Blessed

Maryan, I agree with your
I agree with your thoughts. I also feel that it will just be the first step.
The second step would be to get rid of the thought of self-sacrificing for the happiness of the clan/family. This idea is instilled in the minds of Indian women for generations. What probably they need to understand now is that there is a limit to everything in life and women need to learn to draw that line. In the thought of maternal instincts and the institution of marriage, they would be better off being there as an active participant in family's progress in life than being the donkey who carries all the emotional burden.
If you permit, would like to post your write up on my blog (http://awomaninindia.wordpress.com).
Thanks Maryan. Here's the
Thanks Maryan.
Here's the link:
I will take this thought forward and in a blog soon will talk about treating household work, care as gainful employment. After all in the society's eyes, women dont do much when they are stay-at-home mums. and even do not do much when they are employed as their attention is not fully at work. So a loss making proposition at both ends. A woman needs to be respected for what she is doing -- bringing up the next generation!!
Social Error
Dear Maryan,VictoryMust. I am a 100% for your point. it therefore means it is a Social Error; what do I mean by social error - many society holds the belief that women (girls) does the domestic work like cooking, washing of cloth etc while the men does the yard clearing, firewood splitting etc. so sad, we have grown up thinking that is the rule and final.
For sure, Yes! we shouldn't look at GBV from mens weakness but again we should look at what the women themselves are doing to reduce VAW.
Thanks for that enlightenment
We keep in touch
Stay Blessed

Van Buren County Poorhouse
Van Buren County Poorhouse
This two and a half story brick building was constructed in 1884 as the county poorhouse and infirmary. Here lived the indigent and mentally retarded from Van Buren County. Able-bodied residents worked on the grounds and on the adjacent farm where they produced much of the food for the poorhouse. Operating from 1951 to 1958 as the county social welfare office, the building's altered function reflected society's changing methods of aiding the poor. The County Historical Museum now occupies the structure.

|I have had my name ring for just over 2 years now and it still looks brand new. I wear it every day and typically don't take it off for anything. I have a few N&L pieces and this by far is my favorite. I stopped by the site today to make sure they were still making them because baby #2 is due in a few moths and I'll need a second one. Thanks!

|I got my first two birthstone rings for mother's day 2012. I just received my third ring a few weeks ago (2014) in honor of my newest son. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it looked just liked my other two--that is to say, the older two rings did not look any older or duller or different than the new one. I kinda expected the new ring to be 'shinier' or something, I guess! All that to say that I am very pleased with the quality and longevity of these rings. My new ring fit right in with the older rings. Or I guess I should say, the old rings look just as new as the day I got them two years ago! I know I will have these pieces for years to come.

While I love my ring and was excited to get one for my son that is due in a few months, I am so disappointed with the warranty. Yes, I have had the ring for some time but a gem should not just fall out of a ring. So yes, the rings are very cute, this company will not fix it after 60 days. Bad business.
N&L Note: We wish this customer would have contacted us about the stone and we could have helped. We have had stones fall out of these rings and we are happy to fix them. Stone replacements are free for the first 6 months. After that time, the cost is $5 to replace the stone plus the cost of return shipping. We recommend that you not wear these rings while swimming or using cleaning chemicals as that is the reason the stones tend to fall out.

Bachelor Weekend in Austin: Best Weekend Brunch?
- d
- ditabeardmemo May 22, 2009 09:13 AM
Hi everyone... first time Chowhound poster here. I'm going to be in Austin one week from today for a bachelor party. None of us have spent much, if any, time in Austin previously (most of the party is from New York City), so we're largely unfamiliar with the restaurant scene and would love some suggestions on the best the city has to offer. We're particularly interested in weekend brunch suggestions, as we'll have three whole days (Thursday evening through Sunday evening) to kill.
There are a couple of vegetarians in the group, but everyone else eats meat and everyone is a serious foodie. Boozy is good — it is a bachelor party, after all — but the food quality is the main concern. Casual/young/fun is definitely preferred, and obviously large groups must be accommodated.
Thanks in advance for your input!
I would recommend Lambert's on 2nd Street. They do a Sunday brunch buffet that is excellent but the price also includes ordering some eggs and other dishes made to order. Their bloody marys are my favorite in the city. It's definitely a fun crowd and there is plenty to do in the area before/after brunch. South Congress Cafe would be my second pick. Both can accomodate a large group although South Congress Cafe may not take reservations.
Lambert's would fit the bill...either for Sunday brunch or dinner any night. Not the world's best barbeque, but a good combo of quality food, sold cocktails and lively scene (especially at night) for a weekend of bachelor festivities. And it's still likely to be better than the NYC barbeque options (even after considering the recent explosion in available NYC bbq options).
Mulberry would be a good choice for Saturday brunch...there are fewer brunch options that day, and its limited but good menu seems like it'd be a good fit.
Uchi would be my pick for the foodiest destination in town. It deservedly gets lots of love here. Although you'll have to wait, their tiny bar is fun.
Parkside would be another good dinner choice. The past couple of times Ive gone didn't wow me as much as it did on my first few visits. But it's one of the few places in Austin that takes its food seriously without any pretention. Places like it are a dime a dozen in NYC, though.
Depending on the size of your party, Lambert's may not easily accomodate you. So definitely make reservations. Though it is a chain, Fago de Chao was a fun bachelor weekend and their salad bar, while expensive, is very vegetarian friendly.
I do not recommend Mulbery for brunch. I say drive to Lockhart for some barbecue at Smitty's--very veggie unfriendly though.
My pick would be Fonda San Miguel.
Love the atmosphere: feels like an old Hacienda, beautfiful landscaping, even a parrot
Love the mango margaritas
There are so many choices on the table, I generally get one small spoon of everything and then am too stuffed to go back.
I think the chef's name is Miguel Ravajo (sp?). He's got a cookbook out.
This is the brunch I take good friends to when they come to town.
IIRC, the crowd is mixed (not entirely young).
www.fondasanmiguel.com for more info and pics, etc.
Taverna also has a (boozy and young) Saturday brunch. It could accommodate your group, and has a few vegetarian friendly options (the pear and Gorgonzola pizza being my favorite). I'm not it's biggest fan, but plenty of people disagree with me, and even I'll admit it has one of the cooler scenes for brunch.
You need to experience Austin. Brunch on Sunday, Nutty Brown Cafe. Friday night the 28th is Bruce Robinson....... country music songwriter........very good.
If you don't go to the Broken Spoke on South Lamar you are going to miss one of the last honky tonks in Texas. Have great lunch serving Chicken Fried Steak. If you click on my name it will take to my bio., click on my blog to see videos of these two places.
Mike Carlson
Another vote for Lambert's. It's my favorite restaurant in Austin, a nice mix of great food from Texas BBQ to more adventurous cuisine, and a great atmosphere. Decent to sometimes exceptional service, but reasonable prices. Their brunch is like $25 per person, all you can eat. Can't remember if that includes Mimosa's.
Followed somewhat distantly by Fonda and Chez Zee, both featuring great atmosphere's, but not so great food. Fonda has the better service, though the piano player at Chez Zee takes requests, and has played some Nirvana and Stones for me before, which I find delightful.
Wow! There are tons of places that got left off this list that just need to be mentioned:
(1) TRIO at the Four Seasons. Never been, but is constantly heralded as the best brunch in Austin. Foodie-friendly, with lots of choices.
(2) Magnolia cafe. It's what many Austinites think about when they think of brunch. More upscale diner-y, breakfast-y.
(3) Cantina Loredo. It's a Mexican-fusion restaurant downtown, and they have a buffet with eggs to order. A good amount of vegetarian options (pancakes, fruit, salads, eggs., etc), $1 bloody marys $1 bloody marias (bloody with tequila, if you can handle it), $1 mimosas.
(4) Sagra. A little north of downtown in an old house. Foodie food. Also $1 drinks.
(5) The Belmont. They have ala carte menu, but they also have an all you can eat, served family style, menu, almost entirely breakfast-y brunch. The Cinnamon roll is awesome. The eggs, potatoes, bacon, etc. were all excellent. The Cap'n Crunch French Toast is good, although I was slightly disappointed. $5 carafes of mimosa, I believe. It's also got a great atmosphere with a nice open courtyard to enjoy on a Sunday morning.

Mike Higgins put this look together based in an important spring color: gray. He has a double button peacoat. He added a pop of red with a great shirt from our friends at Frank & Oak and did a double pop with the blue sole shoes. This spring… pop some color!
Where to wear? Styled up with the bow tie this is a fresh look for a dressed up dinner.

Manhattan Fold 'Em"
A high-stakes game that started off at Tobey Maguire's house launched the career of Molly Bloom, poker hostess. Now the government, on the trail of a vast gambling ring involving the Russian mob and Carlyle Hotel gallerists, wants to end it.
Cheating Upwards"
The son of Bangladeshi immigrants, Nayeem was born in Flushing Hospital and raised in Jackson Heights, a 35-minute subway ride to Stuyvesant in lower Manhattan. In the academically elite world of Stuyvesant, Nayeem maintains solid if unremarkable grades, and is a friendly, popular-enough kid known to take photographs of sports teams after school and post them on Facebook. When he walked into the exam room that morning, he seemed confident and calm. Nothing about him suggested he was about to pull off the most brazen feat of cheating in the illustrious school's 107-year history.

Three Fairfield teenagers were arrested after an alert resident saw two teen boys jumping over a neighbor's fence.
At about 4:36 p.m.,Thursday, the resident, living on Bellamy Court, called 911 to alert law enforcement .
"The resident did not recognize the males as belonging to the residence and called the police to report the suspicious activity," stated Fairfield Police Officer Rebecca Belk. "The caller also reported a female appeared to be acting as a "look-out" in front of the neighbors' house."
Fairfield Police officers arrived on scene and contacted a 15-year-old girl in front of the house. The girl was uncooperative with police.
"At that time, Fairfield police officers attempted to contact two males in the backyard of the victim house,' Belk stated. "The suspects began to jump fences into surrounding yards. The two suspects were both subsequently captured and taken into custody after it was determined the house had been burglarized. The property from the burglary was recovered on one of the teens."
The15-year-old girl was arrested and booked on charges of conspiracy. Also arrested was a 14-year-old boy who was booked on charges of burglary, conspiracy, and possession of stolen property, and a 16- year-old boy who was booked on charges of burglary, conspiracy, and resisting arrest. All three teens were booked at Solano County Juvenile Hall.


text: The stuffy extras on A Mighty Heart (an intro for the Pearl Foundation, save-our-journos featurette and a slick Making Of) are everything Michael Winterbottom's unlikely collaboration with Brangelina isn't. With Pitt producing, Jolie starring and a tear-yanking real-life tale, cynics might have expected a dressed-up, awards-craving TV movie. Instead, this manages to be both a thoughtful exploration of a different culture, a provocative look at government and journalism and a tender story of true love. Jolie is excellent as Mariane Pearl, clinging onto hope after her Wall Street Journal reporter husband, Daniel, is kidnapped by Islamic fundamentalists. Only poor box office and tabloid focus have denied her an Oscar nom. She's buttressed by Winterbottom's intimate style and a fine supporting cast, in particular Archie Panjabi – as Mariane's friend – and Irfan Khan's cop: a picture of professionalism and decency.

Engineer. Lawyer. WordPress geek. Bicycle commuter. Blood donor. Snapshooter extraordinaire.
Longer version
I'm trained as an engineer and a lawyer. I've practiced patent law and criminal defense (with just a little divorce law thrown in the mix to know I don't like it, from either side of the conference room table).
Now I'm doing work I love for Intel,1 leading a small design team that creates some cool design validation tools. When your computer powers up successfully, you can thank my team.
I have been writing online since the late 80's2 when I was running a Fidonet "point plus node" with the tagline:
blogan >>--> hot air powers the point (1:105/4.27)
I used to take blogging all serious and wrote about politics and religion. Not (much) anymore. Now I write about family vacations, bicycling, food recipes, and other fun stuff we do. I'm also a snapshooter extraordinaire who takes pictures of the sky, buildings, and Dawson Creek Park.

Bobsled driver Steven Holcomb continued his unexpected struggles on the World Cup circuit Sunday, when he finished just seventh in a four-man race in Switzerland — his fifth straight race off the podium following seven straight victories to start the season.
"We have a couple more races to go" before the Sochi Olympics in Russia, he said. "We'll keep fighting the good fight."

The Park City native is the defending Olympic champion in the four-man race, and has Alpine's Chris Fogt as a push athlete in his new "Night Train 2" sled. But they finished in a two-run combined time of 2 minutes, 10.29 seconds, a vast 0.77 seconds behind winner Oskars Melbardis of Latvia.
"It's good to see Melbardis put together two consistent runs," Holcomb said. "Of course. I wanted to be on the other side of that, but what can you do?"
The struggles have been surprising for a driver as strong as Holcomb, who has extensive experience and two new sleds — a two-man version built by BMW and the four-man one built by the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project — that have proved capable of beating the rest of the world.
All of Holcomb's seven straight victories came in North America, while his last five nonpodium finishes have come in Europe, including a rare four-man crash in Germany last weekend.
The bobsledders have two more World Cup stops before the Olympics, next weekend in Igls, Austria, and the following weekend in Konigsee, Germany. The Olympics begin Feb. 7.

The winters now0 Reviews
I see the snow begin to dance in a circle. It closed tighter and tighter together before the light and the boy shows his face. He held a box. It had odd markings on it. He smiles at me. I smile back. He comes and sits next to me.
"I believe you call this cocoa." he opens the box. It looked like hershey kisses with out the point. I nod and take one. It's the best I have ever had. Smooth and silky. Sweet with a hit of salt. It's truely amazing.
"Winter? Can I ask you something?" I hug my knees and look at him.
He smiles and says "Anything."
"Where do you live?" He twitched at these very words.
"Please. I've told you so much about my world. It's time for you to talk."
he breathes in. "Its called bethina. It's horible." he stairs up at the sky. "Thats why I come here. Every day in the winter. I'm strong enough. I can leave here. And come see you. I was only four when I relzied what was going on. I wish I could stay here. This normal world. It's less bloody. It's less hateful." a tear rolled down his cheek. It turned into a pearl. I picked it up And looked at it. It was pure.
"You can keep that. I make alot of them these days." He wipes the streams from his cheek. His blue eyes now watery. They're clouds of what they were. They blended in with his skin and hair. He almost disapeard in the snow.
I stand. "Take me there." That look. I haven't seen it since I first told them about him. It's the look of pure insanity. I hate that look. "No. Never."
"I said no!" He stands under the star. The snow came round him. With the light. He was gone.
Oh well. I'll have to see him tomarrow.

SECRET ATTRACTION (2) by Donna Hill: This book, including the too few love scenes, moves too slowly and has no drama in the actual relationship. This isn't a strong read. Desiree Lawson and Spencer Hampton have known each other for years, as Desiree's twin sister, Dominique, is Spencer's best friend. An unspoken, yet mutual attraction between the two finally comes to light when Dominique decides to play matchmaker for her workaholic sister.

House Republican leaders proposed a short-term increase in the debt ceiling that would continue the government shutdown and reduce the prospects for a U.S. default while extending the partisan fiscal fight.
House Speaker John Boehner's plan would push off the lapse in U.S. borrowing authority through Nov. 22, said Michael Steel, his spokesman. Republicans want to engage President Barack Obama in negotiations over ending the shutdown, which began Oct. 1 after Republicans insisted on changes to the 2010 health-care law.
"It's time for leadership," Boehner, an Ohio Republican, told reporters in the Capitol today. "It's time for these negotiations and this conversation to begin."
The plan, which House Republicans will discuss with Obama at the White House at 4:35 p.m. today, marks the first sign that the parties may be able to resolve the impasse without the catastrophic economic consequences that the Treasury Department said would stem from a default.
Obama has insisted that he will negotiate on broader fiscal and health-care issues only after a debt-limit increase is passed and the shutdown ends.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 1.7 percent at 12:11 p.m. in New York on optimism among some traders that a deal is closer. Rates on Treasury bills due Oct. 17 dropped for the first time in six days, declining 20 basis points to 0.28 percent at 11:06 a.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices.
The benchmark 10-year yield rose four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 2.70 percent, after touching 2.72 percent, the highest level since Sept. 23.
'Olive Branch'
Representative Dennis Ross, a Florida Republican, called the plan an "olive branch" designed to elicit a counteroffer from Obama.
"We're not going to default," he said. "Now help us reopen the government and give us something to consider in that regard," Ross said. "Hopefully he will."

Cavs select Kansas' star Andrew Wiggins with top pick in NBA draft
Posted On 26 Jun 2014 By AHN
News Room Administrators Staff
NY, NY, United States (NewsBahn) – Former Kansas freshman star Andrew Wiggins will look to take his scoring ability to the Cleveland Cavaliers after the team took him with the No. 1 pick in Thursday's NBA draft.
Wiggins was a scoring sensation in his only year with the Jayhawks, netting a frosh record for the program at 17.1 points per game.
The Bucks followed by selecting Duke star Jabari Parker at No. 2 and Wiggins' teammate Joel Embiid went at No. 3 to the Sixers.
Arizona forward Aaron Gordon went in the No. 4 slot to the Magic, while Australian guard Dante Exum was the Jazz' pick at No. 5.

The player who spearheaded the movement was none other than A's veteran outfielder Coco Crisp, who initially introduced the jam to the clubhouse atmosphere, and later adopted the song as his walk-up music.I don't want to blow this thing out of proportion, but this is probably the greatest bobblehead ever made.Oakland will give away 10,000 of these on Saturday, June 29 against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Sophomore guard Will Figures has been a breath of fresh air coming off the bench for the Bears this season. He is third on the team in scoring, averaging 11.8 points per game and has been almost perfect at the free throw line, making 15 of his 17 attempts (.882). Figures has also made 10 of his 15 three-point attempts to lead the team with a .667 percentage from the arc. Figures free throw percentage ranks second in the Big Sky this season and his three-point field goal percentage is the best in the league.

A Look Back
There are quite a few differences between the 2006-07 team and the 2007-08 team through the first six games, and not only the record (1-5, 4-2). At this point last year the Bears were scoring 69.2 points and allowing 79.7, compared to 68.5 and 63.8 this season. Rebounds are also quite different this season, 39.3 for the Bears and 28.8 for opponents, compared to 33.8 last year with opponents getting 32.5 per game.
Leading The Way - As A Team
In the latest Big Sky Conference statistics, Northern Colorado leads the league in scoring margin (+4.7), rebounding margin (+10.5) and rebounding offense (39.3) and is second in scoring defense (63.8), field goal percentage defense (.412), three-point field goal percentage defense (.333), rebounding defense (28.8), offensive rebounds (14.17), steals (7.50) and defensive rebounds (25.17).
Leading The Way - Individually
In the Big Sky Conference individual statistics, junior forward Jabril Banks leads the league in field goal percentage (.641) and is sixth in scoring (12.8). Junior forward Robert Palacios leads in steals (3.20). Sophomore guard Will Figures leads in three-point field goal percentage (.667) and is second in free throw percentage (.882) and senior guard Thanasi Panagiotakopoulos is fourth in assists (3.33).

Pontypridd RFC is today coming to terms, as is the entire community of Welsh rugby, with the passing away of former Ponty and Neath scrum half Gareth Jones – better known to all his acquaintances as "Snid".
The tragic news of Gareth's passing came on the afternoon of 16th June, the twenty-eight year old finally losing his long battle to overcome a serious neck injury sustained whilst playing for Neath back in April.
The thoughts of everyone at Pontypridd RFC are today with Gareth's young family. Memories of a hugely popular player will be cherished by all who remember him from his time with the club.
The following statement has been issued by Neath RFC:
"It is with deep regret that Neath Rugby have to announce that Scrum Half Gareth Jones passed away peacefully this afternoon, in the Heath hospital Cardiff. Gareth's family have requested that their privacy is respected at this very sad and difficult time for them all."

A Silverlight / Expression Blend behavior to add Multi-Touch Manipulation and Inertia
I've updated the behavior available in the Expression Community gallery adding Multi-Touch manipulation (translation, rotation and zoom) and inertia effects using code from the Surface Manipulations and Inertia Sample for Microsoft Silverlight.
To enable Multi-Touch in your code simply download the behavior from here, add the project "MultiTouch.Behaviors.Silverlight" to a Visual Studio solution and then enable the gestures in XAML:
<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightMultiTouch.MainPage" ... xmlns:interactivity="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Interactivity; assembly=System.Windows.Interactivity" xmlns:behaviors="clr-namespace:MultiTouch.Behaviors.Silverlight; assembly=MultiTouch.Behaviors.Silverlight" ... > <Canvas> <Image Source="Images/Desert.jpg"> <interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors> <behaviors:MultiTouchManipulationBehavior InertiaEnabled="True" TouchRotateEnabled="True" TouchTranslateEnabled="True" TouchScaleEnabled="True"/> </interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors> </Image> <Image Source="Images/Jellyfish.jpg"> <interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors> <behaviors:MultiTouchManipulationBehavior InertiaEnabled="True" TouchRotateEnabled="True" TouchTranslateEnabled="True" TouchScaleEnabled="True"/> </interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors> </Image> </Canvas>
The MultiTouchManipulationBehavior also contains some dependency properties (TouchRotateEnabled, TouchTranslateEnabled, TouchScaleEnabled and InertiaEnabled) to enable the corresponding gestures.
The example contains Multi-Touch manipulations applied to some Image controls and a Smooth streaming player of the Silverlight Media Framework.
I've also posted to CodePlex a sample using WPF 4 based on the article "Introduction to WPF 4 Multitouch" by Jaime Rodriguez.
Hope this helps and Happy Silverlighting!
[...] Esto es algo que tenia en mente intentar realizar cuando sacase algo de tiempo, pero me alegro que alguien como Davide Zordan lo haya sacado y compartido con nosotros, se trata de un behavior que nos da soporte Multitouch con inercia, tal y como funciona en la Surface, simplificándonos bastante si queremos dar un toque de Multitouch a nuestras aplicaciones, podéis ver el articulo completo esta dirección.

This is great, Davide! Thanks for the new behaviors

Thanks, this is great. What's your recomended aproach to apply this behaviour to a 'flickable' list containing text and thumbnail list items?
is this work in wpf4 windows applications or not ?
Thanks for making this available it's a great help.
I do have one question though
I am trying to get the solution working using MVVM and populating a collection of images from a flickr feed. All good so far, but i am having an issue with the bringToFront method when trying to use a data template on an itemspanel.
<!– –>
When the images are added to the mainpage.xaml as per the sample the parent control is the canvas. when the are added using a data template there is either no parent or the parent is the grid in the items control etc…
I have ended up with the xaml as pasted as that was the only way i seemed to get a full screen where i could move the items using drag drop etc.
Now either, I'm doing somehting wrong here ( 95% or perhaps the BingToFront method might need to be smarter to find some higher level base canvas.
If i was clever i'd probably be able to figure it out, but didn;'t want to hack the code without at least asking et..
Any thoughts on this ??
ref above post i did post the xaml, but it seems to have been removed when i posted the comment ??

Writing while marginalized - Pt. 1
It was the latest article in The Washington Post's series on black women that got me thinking. Lonnae O'Neal Parker is a good writer. Her effort was measured and thoughtful. She is a black female writer in a space where the voices of black women are not the majority. The Washington Post has accompanied its coverage with online discussions and the actual voices of black women--something that doesn't often happen. Now, I complain all the time about the absence of black women in mainstream media. I hate that they so often ignore us. But here The Washington Post is paying attention to black women and I find I'd rather they didn't. Because despite all the panels and surveys and a black woman writer and the presence of black female voices, it still reads as exotification and demonization because of the context and because of who is observing the conversation.
I recall feeling the same way last year, when I took part in a CNN online article about the phenomenon of black women with natural hair enduring unwanted touching. Several black women honestly shared our lived experiences with a black writer, who had navigated similar waters. But a brief web article cannot hold the nuance and history related to African American hair and beauty standards and power dynamics. And, based on the nasty attacks several of us endured as a result of the article, in the end, it served more to inflame than educate. (More here.)
Last week I found myself working on an article about an element of black culture for a mainstream feminist publication. My criticism of the Post series and the aftermath of the CNN article began haunting me. Because here I was explaining a black issue for consumption by a mostly non-black audience and perhaps opening the door to the same "othering" that I hate.
So, I wondered: How do other folks who are members of historically marginalized groups, and who write about race and gender and sexuality, wrestle with this? Do they? Should we? Are there topics writers will not or should not discuss outside of a "safe space"? Are there story ideas writers reserve for "of color" or GLBT spaces?
I asked some smart, writerly, social justice-minded folks to weigh in. And I'll be sharing their thinking all this week. First up, Latoya Peterson of Racialicious.

Study seeks to identify black views of marriage
Dr. Ebony Utley is conducting a survey and needs African American respondents. Please read her note below and consider participating.
If you are at least 18 years old and self-identify as Black or African American, you are invited to participate in a study about marriage. This study is important because it gives African Americans an opportunity to speak about marriage for themselves instead of having mediated representations speak for them. The online survey takes approximately 15 minutes. All participants are invited to enter a raffle to win a $50 gift card. Please share this survey with any and everyone that you know. I am part of a research team trying to recruit 1,000 respondents. You can access the survey at bit.ly/blkmarriage. Email questions to email@example.com. Sincerely, Dr. Ebony Utley www.theutleyexperience.com

Collaborating Critics
The daily newspaper that I write for has three freelance critics who share most of the reviewing duties plus a staff writer who occasionally writes a theater review. The alternative newspaper in town rotates its reviews among six freelance critics. A local television broadcaster makes it to nearly every single show and posts reviews on his Website as well as on the air. Depending on the semester, the college newspaper will have a critic. Then the Detroit papers send critics to town for the professional shows. An alternative newspaper has three critics that come to town and the Free Press usually sends someone.
We are also blessed that it is a fairly collegial community and we enjoy good relations with each other.
Last fall, Don Calamia, the critic from Between the Lines, a Detroit weekly newspaper, and I were discussing how Patrick Shanley's Doubt was dominating the 2007-2008 professional season. Three groups were performing it in a four month span, with two of the shows opening within a week of each other. The first was in Lansing, the second in Detroit, and the third in Ann Arbor. While these are somewhat spread apart in distance, they are all within an hour of each other and there is some overlap in audience between the three groups.
During this discussion, we agreed that we would each see all three shows and then do some sort of joint discussion comparing the three productions. We didn't know what form that would take when we started, but we eventually turned to our respective blogs: Don's Confessions of a Cranky Critic and my Front Row Lansing.
This week--on April Fool's Day to be specific--we began a week-long blogfest comparing the three productions. On Tuesday, we independently created our own all-star casts drawn from the three productions. On Wednesday, we revealed which of the three productions we thought was the best. On Thursday, we discussed whether the priest was guilty or innocent--and came up with different answers for each of the three productions. Finally, today, we arranged to have a live chat free-for-all and post the transcript on our blog.
We didn't come up with the idea for a live chat until the last minute, so our invitation for our readers to join us didn't get out until less than 24 hours before the lunchtime chat--not really enough time to give people notice. However, both the director of the BoarsHead show and the BoarsHead artistic director was able to join us.
It was a fun way to look at theater in a larger context than an individual show and we had a lot of fun discussing our different takes on the show. It's something we're both planning to do again, though we're still brainstorming what the next topic will be.
4 Comments
We've been getting really good feedback about it. One organization wrote about it in their newsletter. At another show, someone came up to Don and told him he thought the exchange was some of the best, in-depth theater criticism he's seen locally for a long time.
I liked the discussion aspect of it--plus we had plenty of time to really think about the shows, given that we saw them over several months.
this is a really great idea! I can imagine a confluence of ideas happening like some sort of Criticpalozza!
Seriously though, criticism can be so sporadic and seems to be undertaken by freelancers more and more that it seems like great idea to get together and share ideas. I'll have to mull this one over some more as it strikes me as just tremendous concept!
Thanks Suzi! We really had a great deal of fun doing it and are already brainstorming ideas for our next collaboration. We didn't get a lot of comments on our blog, but we have heard people talking about it. The one theater (whose show hasn't closed yet) also quoted us extensively in a marketing piece that went out over e-mail to all their subscribers.
We really do have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to critics in this town. I've enjoyed every collaboration I've been able to do so far. Back in December, I did a radio show with a fellow critic where we looked at the year in review. A few months before that, I was on a symposium of critics at the local university. That one was fun because the audience (including the actors who came out after the performance of the huge cast show) was able to ask questions, and they did!
I loved the Hedwig review! Wasn't that an amazing show? I love how you brought in both a music and a theater person to do it.
All of these things, I think, can make coverage more interesting to readers.
Bridgette, this is the coolest damn idea. We don't have a ton o' critics (two? maybe three for the daily and five of us [two staffers, including me, and three freelancers] for my paper), but this is just, like, such a great idea. Of course, we don't get that kind of overlap in Eugene although the Oregon Shakespeare Fest did On the Razzle last year, and a community theater company in Eugene has it right now, but those are not really comparable because of the vast disparities in funding and professional experience.
When the other arts editor and I both attended a Hedwig production here (she's the popular music person, which was kind of important ... ), we did a sort of IM-like dialogue as our review. A bit stilted since IM certainly doesn't use full sentences, but fun. Here 'tis, should you want to read.
I've wanted a "theater summit" for a while, but recent events (about which I will post on Monday) have gotten in the way. Still, I don't quite know what to do about getting the daily folks involved. There's a fulltime "high arts" guy, whose beat closely matches mine, and there are the freelance reviewers. I think the daily emphasizes, er, the positive in its reviews, and I tend to be ... one of the theaters' general manager described me today as "honest." But it would be good if we could meet each other and describe to our (admittedly small) audiences why and how we do what we do. At least I think it would be good. As in, "This is what I look for as a theater critic and why I think it matters." Lunchtime chat sounds like a great place for that!
I just got back from the second night of really long plays. Both of them had first acts that lasted around 70 minutes, but one was agonizingly long, and the other only grew tedious at the very end. I long for more people to talk to about why. Yes, even other critics. (After we post our separate reviews.)
Thanks, Bridgette, for great ideas. — Suzi

Security tight for American Taliban trial
Release sought for 'American Taliban'
American militant urges attacks on Bush
John Phillip Walker Lindh (born February 9, 1981) is an American citizen who was captured as an enemy combatant during the United States' 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. He is now serving a 20-year prison sentence in connection with his participation in Afghanistan's Taliban army. He was captured during the Battle of Qala-i-Jangi, a violent Taliban prison uprising during which Central Intelligence Agency officer Johnny "Mike" Spann was killed.
Lindh received training at Al-Farouq, a training camp in Afghanistan associated with Al-Qaeda. There, he attended a lecture by Osama bin Laden before the September 11, 2001 attacks, though he was not aware of the planned attacks and is said to have found him "unimpressive." Lindh had previously received training with Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, an internationally designated terrorist organization based in Pakistan.
Lindh went by the name Sulayman al-Faris during his time in Afghanistan, but prefers the name Abu Sulayman al-Irlandi today. In early reports following his capture, he was usually referred to by the news media as just "John Walker".

Black Friday is not for the faint of heart. If you're one of the shopping ninjas who was out at 5 a.m. this morning, you know this already, but if you're headed out later, heed this advice: Dress for battle.
Okay, not really, but you want to make sure you are dressed as comfortably as you can be.Here are some tips:
And whatever you do, don't be like this lady I saw one year. She had full hair and makeup, high-heeled boots....and PJ pants. Either commit to the PJ look or dress up, but don't do that!
What do you wear for Black Friday?
I usually don't go Black Friday shopping. I went one year when my 15-year-old was little and vowed never to go again because the other shoppers were just mean and nasty.
We have been & had a great experience,We wore jeans & sweatshirts ;)
These are great ideas .. but since i didnt get to go i stayed in my bed till my 5 yr old woke me up at 7 this morning !
I have gone in the past and had so much fun.Except for the year I got hit in the nose over towels.Lol
Or if you're like me and do cybershopping, pajamas and a cup of coffee.
