App certification requirements for the Windows Store
Important The App certification requirements for the Windows Store have been replaced by the Windows and Windows Phone Store Policies as of October 23, 2014. Please refer to the Windows and Windows Phone Store Policies for all current requirements and policies related to submitting apps to the Windows Store (and Windows Phone Store).
The content below is preserved as a record of the previous requirements. Earlier versions are also available in the Certification requirements archive.
Document version: 6.1
Document date: July 29, 2014
In this document, we describe the criteria an app must meet to be eligible for listing in the Windows Store.
Thank you for your interest in developing apps for Windows. We're committed to a relationship with you that supports your ambitions and encourages a diverse catalog of high-quality, engaging apps for Windows customers worldwide. We crafted these certification requirements with those goals in mind and they should help you make choices that enhance your app's appeal and help speed its listing in the Windows Store.
If our certification requirements change, we'll identify the updates to ease your consideration. If you have feedback on the policies, please let us know by commenting in our forum. We will consider every comment.
Your apps are crucial to the experience of hundreds of millions of customers. We can't wait to see what you create and are thrilled to help deliver your apps to the world.
1. Windows Store apps provide value to the customer
1.1 Your app must be fully functional and offer customers unique, creative value or utility in all the languages and markets that it supports
For example, your app may not use a name or icon similar to that of other apps.
1.2 Your app must be testable when it is submitted to the Windows Store
If, for any reason, it is not possible to test some parts of your app, your app may fail this requirement. For example, if your app requires login credentials, provide us with a working demo account using the Notes to Tester field. If your app requires access to a server, tell us what we need to do to verify that it's working correctly. If your app allows a user to add a gift card balance, give us a gift card number that can be used in the testing.

3. Windows Store apps behave predictably
3.1 You must use only the Windows Runtime APIs to implement the features of your Windows Store app
We describe these APIs in the Windows Store apps API reference.
Your Windows Store app may not encourage users to install desktop software for completing the primary value of the app, unless your app is a Storefront for software.
Your app must not communicate with local desktop applications or services via local mechanisms, including via files and registry keys. Your app may only depend on software listed in the Windows Store or that is identified as Windows 8 compatible in the Windows Compatibility Center.
3.2 Your app must not stop responding, end unexpectedly, or exhibit errors that significantly and adversely impact the customer experience
3.3 — Merged with requirement 6.13
See Requirement 6.13.3.
3.4 — Deleted
See Revision history.
3.5 — Merged with requirement 6.13
See Requirement 6.13.4.
3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 — Deleted
See Revision history.
3.9 All app logic must originate from, and reside in, your app package
Your app must not attempt to change or extend the packaged content through any form of dynamic inclusion of code that changes how the application behaves with regard to Store certification requirements. Your app should not, for example, download a remote script and subsequently execute that script in the local context of the app package.
3.10 and 3.11— Merged with requirement 3.12
See Requirement 3.12.2.
3.12 The app must comply with the following technical requirements.
3.12.1 The app must pass the tests provided by the latest Windows App Certification Kit release
3.12.2 Direct3D apps must support a minimum feature level
This requirement applies if you depend on specific 3D graphics hardware features.
If your app includes an ARM or a Neutral package it must support Direct3D feature level 9_1. If your app does not support ARM it must support the minimum feature level chosen on the Store portal.
Because customers can change the graphics hardware in their computers after the app is installed, if you choose a minimum feature level higher than 9_1, your app must detect at launch whether or not the current hardware meets the minimum requirements. If not, the app must display a message to the customer detailing the Direct3D requirements.
In addition to supporting the chosen minimum Direct3D feature level, your app may use higher feature levels when available.
3.12.3 If your app contains Windows Runtime components, they must conform to the Windows Runtime type system
In particular, all Windows Runtime types:
- Must be located in the package file with the longest namespace-matching name.
- Must be the only types with public visibility in a Windows Metadata (.winmd) file.
- Must have a unique, case insensitive name.
- Must not be located in the Windows or global namespace.
- Must have public visibility unless the type is an interface marked as exclusive to a specific runtime class.
- Must be sealed unless the type is a runtime class marked as composable.
- Must compose an unsealed system class, if the type is a composable runtime class.
- Must not include write-only properties.
- Must not implement interfaces that are marked as exclusive to another class.
- Must not be generic or parameterized.
- Must not define methods that overload operators.
- Must not change signature or parameter names between interface and runtime method declarations.
- Must not include default values for method parameters.
- Must not include property getters that take input parameters.
- Must not include property setters that take more than the single set value parameter.
- Must not define factory methods with additional out parameters beyond the return value.
- Must not use IReferenceArray<T> or IReference<string> as a parameter type.
- Must not use the signed byte fundamental type.
- Must define enums with an underlying type of Int32 or UInt32 only.
- Must apply the FlagsAttribute to UInt32 enums.
- Must not apply the FlagsAttribute to Int32 enums.
3.12.4 If the app calls the 3rd party device drivers, it must be a privileged app
A privileged app is an app that the device manufacturer has authorized to perform device operations. See Device sync and update for Windows Store device apps in Windows 8.1 for more information.
3.12.5 Your Windows Store app's packages must have a correct app manifest
In each of your app's packages, the app manifest elements must contain the correct values as described in the Package metadata requirements.
3.12.6 Your Windows Store app's packages must be correctly formatted
Your app's packages must comply with the Package format requirements.
3.12.7 If your app declares an association with a given file type, it must provide the functionality that a reasonable customer would expect, given that association.
For example, if your app declares an association with the .jpg file type, the app should be able to open the image for viewing or editing.
4. Windows Store apps put the customer in control
4.1 Your app must comply with the following privacy-related requirements:
4.1.1 Your app must have a privacy statement if it is network-capable
If your app has the technical ability to transmit data to you or a third party, you must maintain a privacy policy. You must provide access to your privacy policy in the Description page of your app, as well as in the app's settings as displayed in the Windows Settings charm.
App capability declarations that make your app network-capable include: internetClient, internetClientServer and privateNetworkClientServer.
Your privacy policy must inform users of the personal information accessed or transmitted by your app and how that information is used, stored, secured and disclosed, and describe the controls that users have over the use and sharing of their information, how they may access their information, and it must comply with applicable laws and regulations.
4.1.2 Your app must obtain opt-in or equivalent consent to share personal information
Your app can publish a customer's personal information to an outside service or a third party only after obtaining opt-in consent.
Opt-in consent means the customer gives their express permission in the app user interface for the requested activity, after you have:
a) Described to the customer how the information will accessed, used, or shared.
b) Provided the customer a mechanism through which they can later rescind this permission and opt-out.
If your app publishes a person's personal information to a service or a third party, but the person whose information being shared is not a customer of your app, you must obtain express written consent to publish that personal information, and you must permit the person whose information is shared to withdraw that consent at any time. If your app provides a customer with access to another person's personal information, this requirement would also apply.
Personal information includes all information or data that could reasonably be used to identify a person. Examples of personal information include: contacts, photos, phone number, audio & video recordings, location, SMS or other text communication, images of the computer's desktop or screen shots, unique account identifiers, unique identifiers based on the computer's hardware, and in some cases, combined browsing history.
4.1.3 Your app must respect user choices regarding the advertising ID
If your app has the capability to use the advertising ID, it may not collect or use it if the user has turned off the feature. If the user has chosen to reset the advertising ID, your app may not use any prior advertising ID values, or associate them with the new value.
4.2 Your app must respect system settings for notifications and remain functional when they are disabled
This includes the presentation of ads and notifications to the customer, which must also be consistent with the customer's preferences, whether the notifications are provided by the Windows Push Notification Service or any other service. If a customer disables notifications, either on an app-specific or a system-wide basis, your app must remain functional.
4.3 Your app must not jeopardize or compromise user security, or the security or functionality of the Windows device(s), system or related systems, and must not have the potential to cause harm to Windows users or any other person
4.4 and 4.5 — Deleted
See Revision history.
4.6 Your app must comply with Windows Push Notification Service (WNS) requirements if it uses WNS notifications
If your app uses the Windows Push Notification Service (WNS) to transmit push notifications, it must do so as described in this requirement.
a) Notifications provided through WNS are considered app content and are subject to all Windows Store app policies, including the certification requirements.
b) Your app must be associated with only one Package Security Identifier.
c) You may not obscure or try to disguise the source of any notification that is initiated by your app.
d) You may not include in a notification any information a customer would reasonably consider to be confidential or sensitive.
e) Your app must not use excessive network capacity or WNS bandwidth, or otherwise unduly burden the Windows system with WNS notifications.
4.7 If your app includes in-app purchase, billing functionality or captures financial information, the following requirements apply:
4.7.1 If your app uses the Store's in-app purchase API (Windows.ApplicationModel.Store namespace) for in-app purchases:
- Your app can sell digital items or services only. The in-app product sold in your app must be consumed or used in an app that you make available on a Microsoft platform.
- In-app products sold in your app cannot be converted to any legally valid currency (e.g. USD, Euro, etc.), or any physical goods or services, except when the app uses in-app purchase to sell a physical representation of digital content created by the user entirely on a Windows device, including photos, music, video, text, or documents.
4.7.2 If your app includes in-app billing functionality or captures financial account information, but does not use the Windows.ApplicationModel.Store namespace, the following apply for the listed account types:
For all accounts:
At the time of the transaction or when your collect any payment or financial information from the customer, your app must identify the commerce transaction provider, authenticate the user, and obtain user confirmation for the transaction. The app can offer the user the ability to save this authentication, but the user must have the ability to either require an authentication or every transaction, or to turn off in-app transactions.
If your app collects credit card information or uses a third-party payment processor that collects credit card information, the payment processing must meet the current PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
For individual accounts:
Your app cannot collect sensitive financial account information or payment within the app.
You may accept payment outside the app through a pre-existing billing relationship and you may collect payment and personal account information outside of the app experience through an approved third-party payment processor or via a secure HTTPS website.
4.7.3 Your app description must include information about the types of in-app purchases offered and the range of prices
4.8 and 4.9 — Merged with requirement 4.7
See Requirement 4.7.
4.10 You may not use the Microsoft commerce engine to facilitate charitable contributions or sweepstakes
If your app is used to facilitate or collect charitable contributions or to conduct a promotional sweepstakes or contest, you must do so in compliance with applicable law. You must also state clearly that Microsoft is not the fundraiser or sponsor of the promotion.
4.11 Your app may not sell, link to, or otherwise promote voice plans
5. Windows apps are appropriate for a global audience
This section describes types of content that are not permitted in the apps made available in the Windows Store.
Content means the images, sounds, and text contained in the app, the tiles, notifications, error messages or ads exposed through your app, and anything that's delivered from a server or that the app connects to. Because Windows and the apps in the Windows Store are used around the world, these requirements will be interpreted and applied in the context of regional and cultural norms.
5.1 Your app must conform to our content and age rating guidelines, and metadata must be appropriate for everyone
Your app and any ads within your app must conform to our content and age rating guidelines, and metadata must be appropriate.
5.1.1 Apps with a rating over PEGI 16, ESRB MATURE, or that contain content that would warrant such a rating, are not allowed, unless the app is a game, is rated by a third party ratings board, and otherwise complies with these certification requirements.
5.1.2 Metadata and other content you submit to accompany your app may contain only content that would merit a rating of PEGI 12, ESRB EVERYONE, or Windows Store 12+, or lower.
5.1.3 We understand that in some cases, apps provide a gateway to retail content, user generated content, or web based content. We classify those apps as either Storefront apps, whose primary function is to aggregate and sell third party media or apps, or Streaming apps, whose primary function is to aggregate and stream web-based images, music, video or other media content. In some cases, it may be acceptable for a Storefront or Streaming app to include some content that might otherwise be prohibited in a single purpose app. If your app is more likely than not to include some user generated content that would otherwise be prohibited under these requirements, you must include a mechanism for users to bring the presence of such content to your attention, and you must provide filtering tools such that users must opt in to receiving access to feeds or content that has a higher likelihood of violating these requirements.
5.2 Your app must not contain content that advocates discrimination, hatred, or violence based on considerations of race, ethnicity, national origin, language, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, status as a veteran, or membership in any other social group
5.3 Your app must not contain content or functionality that encourages, facilitates or glamorizes illegal activity in the real world
5.4 Your app must not contain or display content that a reasonable person would consider to be obscene
5.5 Your app must not contain content that is defamatory, libelous or slanderous, or threatening
5.6 Your app must not contain content that facilitates or glamorizes excessive or irresponsible use of alcohol or tobacco products, drugs or weapons
5.7 Your app must not contain content that facilitates or glamorizes extreme or gratuitous violence, human rights violations, or the creation or illegal use of weapons against a person or animal in the real world
5.8 Your app must not contain excessive or gratuitous profanity
5.9 Your app must not contain or display content that a reasonable person would consider pornographic or sexually explicit
5.10 All content in your app and associated metadata must be either originally created by you (the app provider), appropriately licensed from the third-party rights holder, used as permitted by the rights holder, or used as otherwise permitted by law
6. Windows Store apps are easily identified and understood
6.1 — Deleted
See Revision history.
6.2 Your app must have a Windows age rating, and you must submit third-party ratings for your app if you have them
6.2.1 You must assign a Windows Store age rating that most accurately matches your app. The Age rating page contains more detailed descriptions of the content that is suitable for each Windows Store age rating.
6.2.2 If your app provides a user with uncontrolled: (i) access to online social networks, or (ii) sharing of personal information with third parties, including other gamers or online acquaintances, then you must assign it a Windows Store rating of at least 12+. For such activity to be considered "controlled", your app must be governed by controls that require parental permission to use such sharing features, and you must identify those and explain their functionality in the Notes to testers.
6.2.3 If you submit a Storefront or Streaming app, you should rate your app in accordance with this section. You should also consider the target audience for your Storefront or Streaming app in your rating, based on the content that users of your app may be able to access.
6.2.4 If a rating under any particular rating system is required by law in any country, you must include the rating documentation for that rating system along with your app.
6.2.5 If your app is rated by an optional ratings board that is identified in Rating boards for Windows apps, you must also submit that ratings certificate for the app and provide the appropriate content descriptors.
6.2.6 If your app has multiple rating board ratings that each correspond to different Windows Store age ratings, you should assign the Windows Store age rating that corresponds to the older audience. Apps with a rating over ESRB MATURE are generally not allowed.
6.2.7 If your app is a search engine that enables users to search broadly across the Internet, then your app must be rated 12+. Apps that enable search for a distinct content set (such as news only or video only), are not search engines under this definition. The age rating for such apps should be determined by the purpose, function and content of the app.
6.2.8 If your app is a Web browser, enabling broad access to Internet content, then the app must be rated 12+.

See Requirement 6.13.5.
6.13 The metadata and other materials you provide to describe your app must accurately and clearly reflect the source, function and features of your app
The screenshots, app name, developer name, tile, category, and app description you provide with your app should make it easy for a user to understand the functions, features, and any important limitations of your app. If your app contains content or features restricted to certain geographies or certain hardware, or has other important limitations, they should be clearly described. You should not represent your app to be from a company, government body, or other entity if you do not have permission to make that representation.
6.13.1 and 6.13.2— Deleted
See Revision history.
6.13.3 Your app must provide the same user experience on all processor types and target operating systems that it supports
If your app has a different user interface or functionality when it runs on different processor types or target operating systems, you must submit a separate app for each processor type and describe the differences in the Description of each app.
6.13.4 If your app doesn't fully support touch input and fully support keyboard and mouse input, you must disclose that in the description elements of the app
6.13.5 and 6.13.6 — Deleted
See Revision history.
6.13.7 Your app must comply with the accessibility guidelines if it is declared as such
If your app is marked with the Accessibility checkbox, it must meet the baseline requirements of exposing information about the UI elements, implement keyboard accessibility, support high contrast, and meet requirements for accessible text.
6.13.8 You must localize your app for all languages that it supports
Your app can only support Windows Store allowable languages, and at least one of those languages must be a certification language. The experience provided by an app must be reasonably similar in all languages that it supports.
You must provide a complete description of your app for your customers in each language that you declare in your app's package. The other elements of your app's description, such as screenshots, text and promotional images, must be localized. If your app is localized such that some features are not available in a localized version, you must clearly state or display the limits of localization in the app description.
7. Desktop apps must follow additional requirements
In addition to these requirements, you must certify desktop apps under the Windows Desktop App Certification program.
7.1 The purchase page link provided for your app must send users to a location where they can directly download the app, and must not lead users to another intermediary site or a site that spoofs the purchase page
Users must be able to acquire your app quickly and easily after they are directed to your purchase page from the Windows Store.
You are allowed to provide two purchase page links for your app. You must use these links to provide users access to 64-bit and 32-bit versions of your app.
7.2 The information you provide to the Store about your app must match the information used on the purchase page for that app. That includes your app or company logo, the app name, price and major and minor version numbers
Thank you for taking the time to review these requirements. We are committed to providing a high quality catalog of apps in the Windows Store, and reserve the right to remove from the catalog any app that fails to meet these requirements.
Again, thank you for joining us in this commitment to delivering fantastic experiences.

Dranesville Supervisor Foust's Office Relocated until August 10, 2015
The McLean Governmental Center at 1437 Balls Hill Road, is undergoing a major renovation effort to expand the facilities for the McLean District Police Station. Consequently, while the renovation is underway, the McLean office of Dranesville District Supervisor John Foust has been temporarily relocated.
The Dranesville Supervisor's office is now 6649-A Old Dominion Drive, McLean 22101, in the McLean Square Shopping Center (also known as The Balducci's Shopping Center). This is the same location that housed the Dolley Madison Library during its renovation in 2010 and 2011.
Supervisor Foust and his staff are still reachable at their current telephone number and at their existing email addresses.
During the renovation period the McLean Police will still be located in the Governmental Center at 1437 Balls Hill Road. The public community room at that site, however, will not be available.
For more information about the renovation and the move please call Ben Wiles in the office of Supervisor Foust at (703) 356-0551.

Thanks for Subscribing!
Use Code: at Checkout!
Hurry! Expires !
When placing your bare root orders, please be aware that AS SOON as the trees/plants are available to ship (Dec. for trees, Jan. for plants), we will begin shipping IMMEDIATELY - no matter where you are located !!!
There are several factors why we must ship immediately:
When your order arrives, you should remove it from the outside elements before nightfall. If you will not be present at the destination when the order will be delivered, you should either ship the order to another location or make sure someone will be there to take care of your order.
While your order is hardy enough to withstand freezing temperatures in its box, you definitely should not leave it outside in sub-zero temperatures for days on end.
AS IMPORTANTLY, you then need to open the box, remove the trees/plants from their plastic bag, store them in a basement, cellar or garage, covering their roots with sand, dirt, sawdust or wood chips (do not use cedar that is toxic to the trees) and keep them moist until you are able to plant them in the ground in Spring.
Also called the Donut, Stark Saturn, Saucer or Peento Peach. Semi-dwarf on Citation rootstock.
A Extremely vigorous trees requiring regular pruning and thinning. Needs fertile, well drained soils. Tend to bloom early and may be difficult to crop in late frost areas. Plant several varieties for continued supply, as ripe fruit does not store well. Susceptible to peach leaf curl, brown rot, oriental fruit moth and peach twig borer. Trees are 2 years old and should begin to fruit in their 3rd year. Citation Rootstock is tolerant of wet soil, induces early dormancy in dry soil, is very winter hardy, resists root knot nematodes, and produces a 12'-18' tree. By pruning you can keep your tree at any height.
Please Note: Although most of our bare-root trees arrive to our warehouse in mid-December, there are a few varieties -- Mulberry, Pecan, Persimmon, Quince, and Walnut -- that will not arrive until mid-January. If you order any of those varieties along with varieties that arrive in mid-December, your order will be delayed for shipment until mid-January unless you ask us to split your shipments and agree to pay any additional shipping charges resulting from two separate shipments.
Check out our Fruit Tree Harvest Chart to plan for successive harvests.

I think that my eyes get the sorest with plasma flash burn. I hate to use a #8-9 as trying to follow chalk lines, I can't see them. I now use a number 5 but my eyes are pretty sore after a cutting session. Been wearing glasses all my life and they don't seem to help cut down the effect. Did try wearing my polarized sunglasses to see if they help because they are uv protected but didn't see any help with that either. I think, as has been posted many times, use the helmet and the shade required to get the job done.

I usually always got flashburn when I had a helper (tacks when youre not ready for it) etc. I noticed that the plastic reading glasses helped a lot as well.
I did a lot of work in stainless tanks, one of the best places to get flashburn thats for sure.
On my plasma I used sunglasses over my regular glasses so that I could see the marks etc, never really got flashburn from that though but my eyes would take some time to get back to normal, kind of like coming inside on a bright day, takes awhile to see well again.
It is a wonder that I am not blind considering all the stupid things I have done in my lifetime thats for sure..............mike sr

About 10 years ago I flashed my eyes at the company I worked for. I was a group leader and was laying out posts while they were being welded. The plant was pretty dark and when I walked outside I couldnt even see. I had one of my friends drive me to the doctors and they gave me some drops to put in them, it relieved the pain but I couldnt see in the bright light. It was better the next day but it took about 4 before my eyes felt normal.
I was told that if you look away from the weld you will get burned worse then if you stair at it straight on.
Protect your eyes, you only get 1 pair, when there gone there gone.

Flashburn is serious, treat it as such, use the proper protection.
Welcome to the forum, there is a lot of good information to be had here, I have been a welder for 55 years and I learn something new on this forum almost every day..........
Looking at an arc in any way shape or form will burn your eyes period.mike sr

I had to register to get in on this thread. I have been visiting this board for a while but I'm just a hack hobby welder so I never felt the need to formally join the board. I am not smart enough about welding to offer any opinion about welding techniques etc...
In real life I am an ophthalmologist so I do know and understand the treatment of welder's flash or UV keratitis as it is know by eye docs. Cooling the eye lids with a bag of frozen peas, potato slices and so on will help with the discomfort but will not help the healing. Potato juice in the eye or any non sterile liquid can be bad. Certain types of bacteria can go through and destroy the eye in 24 hours! Let the docs determine the extent of damage and advise you on the best treatment options, don't rely on your neighbor's aunt's best friend to determine which home treatment would work.
Contact lenses will not focus the flash on the eye and make things worse, just an old tale that has no basis in fact. Contact lenses may be placed on the eye as a clear bandage to provide comfort while healing, commonly done after certain types of refractive surgery. No eye doc tapes or patches the eye for flash burns, the pain is actually worse with patching. Antibiotic ointment, liquid tears, pain meds and a dark room is typically all that is needed.
Looking at the sun was part of a religious thing in Colorado and I had one patient that did manage to burn the retina and loose vision. Don't do that thinking it will somehow help with flashing.
A flash burn is a sunburn of the cornea or clear part of the eye, it can be a mild gritty feeling or may be severe pain with poor vision but typically causes no permanent damage and will resolve from a few hours to a few days depending on the extent.
I'll go back to being a lurker.

MAYA 2012 Evening Lecture Series
The End of Time: The Maya Mystery of 2012
Dr. Anthony F. Aveni, author of the bestselling book, The End of Time: The Maya Mystery of 2012, explores theories about the widely prophesized "end of the world" in December 2012 by measuring them objectively against the evidence of archaeology, iconography, and epigraphy. Dr. Aveni considers information from the earth sciences and astronomy about the likelihood of worldwide Armageddon. Finally, the prophesies are placed in the broader cultural and historical context of how other cultures, ancient and modern, thought about the "end of things" and why cataclysmic events enjoy wide spread appeal in contemporary American pop culture. This program is presented in conjunction with our current exhibition, MAYA 2012: Lords of Time. Admission: $5, general public; free for Penn Museum members. For more information, call 215.898.2680.

text: Im seeing a young player thats becoming one of the better players at his position in the league right now. I think he is making plays in the pass game. The interception he made was exceptional. The run back was terrific. He had the sack," defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle said of Jones. "Hes consistently starting to put one game after another together and hes got a very high ceiling. I think hes going to be a very, very good player for us.

Christy started a new job in Roswell today and of course the drive sucks.
Is there a better way for her to get there, currently taking beaver ruin to 23 to Jimmy Carter up.
She is pretty close to ERP so if you design the directions around that it will be fine...that is the only way we have ever gone so we don't know if there is a better one.

By Chris on 3/21/2013 Chris would recommend this product to a friend I ordered this product, and you can use this for many projects. frag rack, light defuser, trays for media ,filter floss,ect. thanks BRS for a product that isn't expensive, and works with many applications... A Must Buy For Fraggers! By Robert on 3/2/2013 Robert would recommend this product to a friend These look great in my Coral Farm Tank! Very easy to work with and perform perfectly for exactly what I wanted to use them for. Wish you carried longer sheets, but these work great! So much better than regular egg crate! By CD on 2/21/2013 CD would recommend this product to a friend I really love these. Much better than trying to make your own with regular egg crate from the local hardware store and spray painting with krylon fusion. In my area black egg crate is hard to find and I'm glad BRS has this item. Thank BRS. The material is not brittle at all and it seems to be solid black throughout so I don't have to worry about scratches. I will be using this fin all my frag tanks from now on. Well packed, large, preferred color By Amoeba on 10/8/2012 Amoeba would recommend this product to a friend Items arrived very well packed, intact and black. I prefer the look of the crate in this color. Pieces are large which allows for more options in cutting to fit. I would order again. Exactly what I was expecting By Brenton on 9/2/2012 Brenton would recommend this product to a friend Quality and affordable egg crate that looks way better than the white stuff you can get at the hardware store. Works as expected By Nicholas on 8/7/2012 Nicholas would recommend this product to a friend There are so many uses for this stuff in the salt water aquarium world. I need to order a couple more actually. :) frag rack By james on 7/6/2012 james would recommend this product to a friend the black color is good for making display tank frag rack as it blends in well. BRS also sells magnets for making them Great for frag shelves and trays By Puffer on 5/9/2012 Puffer would recommend this product to a friend Far sexier (can we say that about eggcrate? LOL) then the white stuff found at home depot. The holes are a bit smaller then the white variety which helps with frags. Just don't use them for tank tops!!!, they will block ton of light. Get the clear mesh sold by BRS, just serch for it. BRS does great job shipping this irregular item in a large square box. Great job BRS Great By Kori on 3/20/2012 Kori would recommend this product to a friend Great product at a great price Great product By Charlie on 1/24/2012 Charlie would recommend this product to a friend Product has great value for the price. Excellent By Glen on 12/9/2011 Glen would recommend this product to a friend Not sure why they call it egg crate, too small for eggs! However for coral plugs it is excellent. It cuts really easily with wire cutters (or bone snips). Contrasts nicely with white coral plugs and looks pro, even if you're not! This Stuff Is Great! By Michael on 11/7/2011 Michael would recommend this product to a friend I purchased one sheet of this for frag racks, and very pleased with it. Cuts easily, glues up great and black is perfect for main tank as is blends in better then the white only product available locally.

Fred and Fiona Flea: The Crown Jewels Caper, by Joan Bunte (Indianapolis) and Alison Madden (Chicago). Tate Publishing, Mustang, OK
Hidden, by Helen Frost (Fort Wayne). Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York City, NY
The Best Book award for Ashfall joins a growing list of accolades for Indianapolis author Mike Mullin. The book was also honored as an International Reading Association, 2012 Young Adults' Choices list; National Public Radio, 2011's Top 5 YA Novels, Kirkus Reviews, Best Teen Books of 2011; 2011 New Voices Selection, American Booksellers Association; 2011 ABC Best Books for Children Catalog Selection; Gold Star Award, TeensReadToo.com; and Top Choice Award, Flamingnet.com. Ashen Winter, Mullins highly anticipated sequel to Ashfall was released earlier this week.
Additionally, Helen Frost was named a Best Books finalist for the third time in four years. She won the contest in both 2010 (Crossing Stones) and 2009 (Diamond Willow). Joan Bunte and Alison Madden were named finalists with their first entry in the competition.
"I congratulate this year's children/YA winner and finalists and thank the many authors and publishers that entered the 2012 contest," said Roberta L. Brooker, Indiana State Librarian. "One copy of each Best Book honoree will permanently join the works of great Hoosier authors like Gene Stratton Porter, James Whitcomb Riley and Kurt Vonnegut within the State Library's Indiana Authors Room."
Ashfall and the author's name will be engraved on a plaque in the Indiana Authors Room. One copy of each finalist entry will remain housed in the Authors Room indefinitely. Two copies of all 2012 Best Books entries have been added to the State Library's collection. Indiana residents can borrow any Best Books of Indiana title from the State Library or request a copy via interlibrary loan at their local public library.
The Indiana Center for the Books administers the Best Books of Indiana contest annually and accepts entries from Hoosier authors or books that have an Indiana theme or setting. The competition accepts books published between January 1 and December 31 of the previous year and consists of four categories - children's/young adult, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. A panel of judges in each category considered all entries and chose finalists at their discretion. Entries were judged on the quality of writing, with organization and interpretation also considered. A complete listing of this year's finalists and judges' comments, as well as past years' winners and finalists, can be found on the Indiana Center for the Book's website.

- The USB adapter was TINY - so small that I lost the first one, and had to buy another one!
- While it did make attempts to tell you, the battery would run low fast once it hit "Red" status
- The surface got scratched quite easily
- There were reports of a faulty clicking mechanism inside the mouse - after several thousand (50,000-250,000+) clicks, the mouse would either double-click or not click at all (on a single click attempt). While several thousand sounds like a lot, its not when your shooting at people 16 hours a day
I am looking to get either another G7 (I do miss mine quite a bit) or a G9; however the G9 is a wired mouse, and while it hosts a world of extra new gizmos and whatnot, I am a total wireless lover.
The G7 is $80, G9 $100.
Wireless, wired.
Battery life, USB powered.
500 refreshes/sec, 1000 refreshes/sec.
But I still love wireless. Can someone give me an idea as to what to do? I would really like the additional things the G9 has, but the G7 just worked exactly the way I wanted.
G9: http://www.logitech.com/i...devices/3053&cl=us,en
G7: http://www.logitech.com/i.../devices/163&cl=us,en
Thoughts? Any G7/G9 owners? Opinions?

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Perhaps the very first use of stop motion animation
Another fine example of why I love YouTube and what it brings to the Internet. Check out what I discovered. It's a short film produced by Thomas Edison's movie company. Something I had no idea existed.
It's the original "Frankenstein" from 1910. That's makes it a 100 year old movie! I had no idea this even existed. It's 12 minutes 42 seconds long, and is remarkable for having what could very well be the first use of stop motion animation. It's in the scene where the monster is being created, about 3 minutes into the film.

Re: Perhaps the very first use of stop motion animation
Amazing for two reasons--
1.) For what might be an initial attempt, the result appears to be pretty sophisticated.
2.) Even in the silent era, filmmakers were unafraid of being experimental.
Re: Perhaps the very first use of stop motion animation
I think it's actually film ran in reverse of the puppet being burned away. The smoke is going down instead of up, and the black background can be used to hide what is controlling the puppet.
Still though, very impressive. People were probably freaked out to see that.
Re: Perhaps the very first use of stop motion animation
well stop action animation is the base of animation however if you think abou it's puttering also a form of stop action animation if that is the case it could date bac 1000's of years it was only until the invention of movie cameras and tv that it make it move with a more lively and sifosicated way thats my opinion anyways

Psalm for the January Thaw
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
As I stressed in my column about the YEC view, creationism is ultimately about theodicy—it's not only about theodicy, to be sure, but the belief that animals must not have suffered and died before Adam and Eve committed the first sin is crucial to the "young" in Young Earth Creationism. To a significant degree, Theistic Evolution is also about theodicy.
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
The universe that inspired the psalmist three thousand years ago grows grander as each new generation of astronomers adds yet another layer of understanding.
Predictably, "Jesus Wept" did not make it into the Jefferson Bible. John 11 was cut out entirely, falling onto the floor of his Monticello home and discarded, along with Martha's confession.
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Dr. Heather Whitney's double major in physics and performing and visual arts suggests that she lives—as well as understands—the connections between subjective and objective ways of engaging the creation. She is committed to communicating that experience with her students, too.
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
If death did not exist before Adam and Eve, how could God have used evolution to create man? And what about predators and natural catastrophes such as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
This video features a discussion with Mark Sprinkle -- painter, educator, writer, and BioLogos Senior Fellow -- about the relationship between art and science.
At the heart of Orthodox Christianity is an experience of connection with God. In the Eastern view, the whole point of Christian faith—the whole point of human life—is that connection, or, to put it more precisely, communion.
In this video "Conversation," Philip Yancey explains that on the way home from a trip to Mumbai, India, during which terrorists attacked the city, he began to form a list of the challenging situations he has experienced.
This series, written by Bethany Sollereder, seeks to address this question: "How could God create through a process that involves so much pain and death?" She first presents the two drastically opposite worldviews held by theologians and scientists. She also reflects theologically on how a world created through evolutionary means can be good, and concludes with some thoughts concerning the Fall, physical decay and spiritual death.
As a medical student learning about how the body works, I thought it fascinating to understand how we fight off disease, how the brain responds to stress, how we reproduce, how we perceive vision and memory—the list goes on and on. These, too, are miracles in plain sight.
Death has occurred since the first breath of biological life (and some would say since the first "breath" of cosmological life), long before Adam inhaled. Ironically, therefore, death must be a part of God's good creation. Moreover, human death due to sin must be something different than the physical death we all die.
"Why would the omnipotent Creator of the universe use such a wasteful (and cruel) process of survival of the fittest to bring about the higher forms of life? This view of 'theistic evolution' goes against God's very nature -- and logic itself."

Great boots Review by Triumph Thunderbird
Boots look great, feel very comfortable with a quality insert. I used my Asolo inserts. Velcro will have to be replaced soon and boots are less than 2 yrs old. With dress pants expect to bend over and untuck cuff from back of boot. An inch taller would be perfect. I like a shined boot and these do not take a good shine but that's just me. But - I have received numerous compliments so I proudly wear them everywhere. (Posted on 3/5/2013)
Stylish Italian Fashion Boots. Review by ticsandbeats
Price Quality Value
I bought these with the expection I'd to wear them to work with dress slacks, shirt and tie. Yes, they look beautiful. I'm ok with the leather & rubber trim pieces. These details are well done and help protect the boots leather at the 'shift' points.
I have to say I'm REALLY dissappointed with the protection and the cheesey sole. For $270 + shipping, I would have expected top-notch sole instead you get of a thin, gummy-like generic sole... like something you'd see on cheap old hiking boots. I've ridden a week and the center soles are half WORN!
Besides being over-the-ankle boots...there isn't added protection.
The zipper closure is flimsy too, and likely to break if you're not paying attention when 'zipping' up.
An Attractive fashion boot, but definitely NOT for riding. (Posted on 5/11/2012)
Lots of style but... Review by BMW Rider
Price Quality Value
Extremely comfortable boots out of the box. However, because the boots are made of calf skin I doubt they would hold-up in a crash and/or heavy use. I rode approximately 500 miles on my BMW one weekend and noticed the soles were beginning to wear prematurely. The toe box on the left boot is starting to "bubble" as well (maybe from all the shifting). I wear a size 11 from running shoes to dress shoes to boots so I ordered a size 45 (normally equivalent to a size 11 US). They fit like an 11.5. I added insoles to alleviate some of the extra room. Bottom line the boots are extremely attractive and form nicely to your foot. You will get plenty of compliments for style. But if you're expecting a "real" motorcycle boot that protects your feet and are durable, I would invest in something else. (Posted on 4/21/2012)
Fragile Review by Nick Coughlan
Price Quality Value
I ordered these boots and have worn them out riding maybe 15 times. They are beautiful. However, I have two issues with them. They are not big enough to comfortably tuck your leathers in and also, they are falling apart pretty quickly. The leather itself has been strong but the sole of the shoe is starting to break away exposing the wood beneath it. I'd say I am about 30% through their lifespan at the moment! They wont last me the summer at this rate. Boots are obviously not Belstaff's Forte! (Posted on 7/13/2011)
Brilliant Boot! Review by DCS
Price Quality Value
Very cool looking boot! Under motorcycle pants or jeans... on the bike or off. Very comfortable and true fit to sizing. Very solid on the bike and just as easy to walk in as any regular boot. High quality product.
Even better than the boot was the service from the BMG folks. Great communication, fast shipping (even to Canada) and no surprises.
Thanks BMG! (Posted on 5/5/2011)
Loving the fit! Review by MisioSoup
Price Quality Value
Just to be open and transparent, I haven't actually rode on a motorcycle yet. I will be taking a course soon and so that's why I got these boots.
I liked their style and ordered them just to see how they fit.
Now, I may not be a motorcycle expert, but I have worn a lot of boots and shoes. And all I can say is, wow! Italians sure know how to make shoes. You're paying a bit of chunk change, but you're definitely getting your money's worth in terms of fit.
So, I've yet to test them on the bike itself and in terms of durability, only time will tell. But for now, they get 4/5 for me.
Why did it loose a star? Well, I didn't think that the picture accurately represented the substantial difference between the leather portion and the rubber portion of the boot. There's quite a bit difference and I was a bit disappointed to see that when they arrived.
Am I being to critical or harsh. I'd like to think not.
In conclusion, they look pretty good for motorcycle boots (majority are just butt ugly), but I can't imagine finding another boot that will fit better than this one. (Posted on 4/14/2011)

Show Dog-Universal Music is now home to Keith and Show Dog's four other artists. Universal South's roster carries over, too, including Phil Vassar, Joe Nichols and Randy Houser.
Keith, the label's principal, will oversee much of the creative process, while Wright, as president, focuses on the business side.
"They gave me every single thing I could ask for, and they didn't waver on it," Keith said about the merger at a Wednesday press conference. "It's also a chance to work with some other artists that we've never worked with, and a chance to continue a tremendous relationship with (Wright)."
Employees from both labels didn't fare as well as the artists. Show Dog Nashville gave up two positions, and Universal South lost nine, including Fletcher Foster, who served as general manager and senior vice president.

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - The Texas Rangers used the long ball and solid pitching to secure a series victory Sunday night in Arlington.
Adrian Beltre clubbed a two-run homer and Josh Hamilton and David Murphy added leadoff shots, powering the Rangers to a 5-0 win over the Chicago White Sox in the finale of their three-game season-opening set.
Matt Harrison (1-0) limited Chicago to four hits, walked two and struck out three in six innings of work. The left-hander is coming off a breakout 2011 season in which he won 14 games and compiled a 3.39 ERA.
"Harrison pitched great. It's one of those nights where you just tip your hat to him," white Sox manager Robin Ventura said.
Mark Lowe, Robbie Ross and Koji Uehara allowed just two hits in relief.
Gavin Floyd (0-1) surrendered five runs -- four earned -- on five hits in 5 2/3 innings for the White Sox.
Murphy opened the scoring in the third with a home run to right field.
Gordon Beckham doubled to lead off the Chicago fourth, but was erased in a rundown between third and home.
In the bottom of the inning, Beltre followed Hamilton's leadoff single with a drive over the wall in right-center.
The White Sox stranded a runner on third in the fifth, and Harrison fanned A.J. Pierzynski with two men aboard to end the sixth.
A 441-foot blast by Hamilton gave Texas a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the sixth.
"You keep waiting for him to hit one out of the stadium," Harrison said of Hamilton.
Beltre followed the blast with a single, moved to third on a fielding error and scored when Nelson Cruz grounded into a double play.
Floyd was 1-1 with a 0.64 ERA in two starts against the Rangers in 2011...Ross made his major league debut as did Chicago reliever Nate Jones...The White Sox were 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position.
