This question already has an answer here:
I have a try...except block in my code and When an exception is throw. I really just want to continue with the code because in that case, everything is still able to run just fine. The problem is if you leave the except: block empty or with a #do nothing, it gives you a syntax error. I can't use continue because its not in a loop. Is there a keyword i can use that tells the code to just keep going?

I am using GWT for my client side application. However, I am not sure how I can handle session management. The GWT application resides on one page, all server calls are done via AJAX. If a session expires on the server. let's assume the user didn't close the browser, and sending some request to server using RPC, how could my server notify the application that the session has expired and that the client side portion should show the login screen again?My sample code :
ContactDataServiceAsync contactDataService = GWT
((ServiceDefTarget) contactDataService).setServiceEntryPoint(GWT
+ "contactDatas");
new AsyncCallback<ContactData>() {
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
//code to show error if problem in connection or redirect to login page
public void onSuccess(ContactData result) {
If session expires only it has to show login screen, otherwise it wants to show some error using Window.alert().
How to do this and what are all the codes needed in server side and client side?

Upgrade The Lighting and Electrical Systems
A bare bulb over each car bay won't cut it. For ambient light, opt for 4-foot fluorescent fixtures with electronic ballasts, which give flicker-free light and work well in cold temps. Space them 4 feet apart and use as many as you need to see well at night. Swap out receptacles with ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) that cut the power when there's a short in the system.

SAP envisions big things for just-acquired Ariba's B2B marketplace, which it calls "the eBay of business networks." SAP hopes to grab a larger slice of a giant market for B2B transactions (and grow the market itself) by revamping pricing - SAP will introduce flat fees in addition to the current per-transaction fees - as well as integrating Ariba's network with SAP apps, and boosting its analytics capabilities via Hana. SAP recently bragged Ariba's network hosts 733K vendors and is adding 1K companies/week.

Mexico was a country in North America before the Great War, located to the south of the United States. While it was never annexed as Canada was, the US, seeking to protect business interests and their oil supply, put a lot of pressure on Mexico in 2051 and finally invaded it, though it is unknown whether total annexation had occurred.
The Fallout: New Vegas companion Raul Tejada was born in Mexico, witnessed the Great War destroy Mexico City, and lived on a ranch.[1] A small group of Mexicans also made their way into Zion Canyon in Utah, but were savagely murdered by the infected members of the Vault 22 expedition.
The country also had a major company named Petro-Chico, a petroleum corporation that was a subsidiary of Poseidon Energy, and had oil supplies all along the Rio Grande, and owned all of the oil flowing up to Las Vegas. Petro-Chico had administrative holdings in the states of Veracruz, Puebla, and Hidalgo.

- 2051 - Seeking to protect business interests and their oil supply, the United States began to exert increasing pressure on Mexico, citing the political instability and pollution stemming from Mexico as a threat to the United States. Various economic sanctions served to destabilize Mexico, and the United States military entered Mexico to keep the oil refineries running and ensure that oil and fuel continued to make their way north across the border (at Mexico's expense).

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — A judge sentenced a former teenage al-Qaida fighter Sunday to eight more years in custody, bound by a plea agreement that compelled him to ignore a military jury that said he should serve 40 years for war crimes that included the killing of an American soldier.
Omar Khadr's sentencing brings to an end a case that attracted intense scrutiny and criticism because the Canadian prisoner was 15 when he was captured, badly wounded after a fierce firefight at an al-Qaida compound in Afghanistan in 2002.
Khadr stared straight ahead and appeared relaxed as the judge read a sentence that calls for him to stay one more year in Guantanamo before he can ask the Canadian government to allow him to return to his homeland to serve the remainder of his sentence or seek early release on parole. He has been held eight years at Guantanamo but doesn't get credit for time served.
The jury of military officers deliberated nearly nine hours over two days and had not been told that a sealed plea deal would mean that their decision would be largely symbolic.
Military prosecutors, who had portrayed the now 24-year-old Khadr as a dangerous terrorist, had asked the seven-member jury for a sentence of 25 years — and the accused could have received up to life in prison if convicted of even one of the five war crimes counts against him.
Navy Capt. John F. Murphy, the chief military prosecutor, said the plea deal included a provision that Khadr cannot appeal, eliminating the possibility of a reversal or even more time being spent on a case that has been winding its way through the Guantanamo tribunals since 2004. He said the government considered Khadr's age and background as the child of a prominent al-Qaida figure in agreeing to the eight-year sentence.
"I hope it sends a message to any terrorists that if you are involved with serious offenses like this you face the potential of a very serious sentence," Murphy said.
Khadr admitted planting 10 roadside bombs in Afghanistan as part of an al-Qaida explosive cell and throwing a grenade that mortally wounded an American special forces medic, Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer of Albuquerque, New Mexico. His lawyers and human rights groups said he was a "child soldier," who should have been sent home long ago for rehabilitation and they challenged the notion that a battlefield killing amounted to a war crime.
Prosecutors said Khadr was a war criminal because he was not a legitimate soldier fighting in Afghanistan but a member of al-Qaida, which hides among civilians, doesn't represent a country or follow internationally accepted principles of warfare.
His lawyers said they had no choice but to strike a plea deal given the potential for a long sentence.
"I think when you look at it we did quite well," said Marine Col. Jeffrey Colwell, the chief defense counsel.
Dennis Edney, a Canadian attorney for Khadr, said his client agreed to plead guilty because it was a route to repatriation. He said that led Khadr to sign an admission of facts that the lawyer called "stunning in its false portrayal of him."
Khadr was prohibited under the deal from calling witnesses at his sentencing hearing who would support defense claims that he was a "child soldier," forced into fighting the U.S. by a radical father who was an associate of Osama bin Laden.
"The fact that the trial of a child soldier, Omar Khadr, has ended with a guilty plea in exchange for his eventual release to Canada does not change the fact that fundamental principles of law and due process were long since abandoned in Omar's case," Edney said.
The plea deal, which was released after the sentencing, also prohibits Khadr from being in the United States and requires him to turn over to the Canadian government any proceeds earned from publishing information "related to the illegal conduct alleged on the charge sheet."

Asian girls don't fuck around ... unless they're fucking around.
"Jack" is director Robby D. — who not only has an initial for a last name, but apparently requires a nom de camera as well. Whatevuh! The real Asian adventure, however, is slogging through his entangled jungle of Gonzo-talk which pads out the action like a boxful of Kotex.
Once in gear the vid presents some dick-hardening sessions; especially with nutsuckin' Jandi Lynn ... whose standing encounter (up against the wall) makes the position look like much more than a gymnastic novelty. She manages to spin around just in time to catch Mountain's lip-smackin' load.
Covergirl Shay Jordan spends a disproportionate amount of time riding cowgirl. With an ass like hers on display, it's a langour worthy of forgiveness. Maya Hills puts her own delicious rump to fine use with a thunderous plunge in the tookie; while Bella Ling makes the best of Charming's unsuckably large cock by using both hands as a grease gun for his pipe.

I used jQuery exclusively on my last project to do all my AJAX calls. I used both $.ajax and $.getJSON calls to return data to the page. However, I see a ton of examples online using jQuery to handle UI and data formatting, but using ASP.NET AJAX to actually perform web service calls and retrieve data. Is it more efficient to use ASP.NET AJAX to retrieve data for AJAX calls? Does it perform better than jQuery?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I don't think it will make too much difference whether you use ASP.NET Ajax or jQuery. What might make difference is what data is returned and what format it is in i.e. XML, HTML or JSON.
For example, it might be more efficient to return a lightweight JSON object from an Ajax call rather than a big XML document: you can always monitor the size of the Ajax response using Firebug or something similar.
You'll probably have to judge each scenario on it's own merits though.
i used Ajax Control Toolkit from microsoft quite extensively for 2 years before i switched to jQuery and in my experience i think jquery ajax calls are much more light weight, efficient compared to the ajax control toolkit libraries. besides that the efficiency ofcourse depends on the data that you send & receive via your ajax calls.
you can add custom HTTP Status codes in jQuery ajax calls as well to capture any errors on the server and returning the appropriate response.
I have been wondering this same thing myself. When MS announced JQuery support going forward I was wondering about the "recommended" approach for doing things where the two frameworks overlap (ie: making async calls to the server) going forward since there is some overlap between the two libraries.
I think the biggest efficiency gain you will get is obviously in the data transport you are using (json vs. xml) but I am not as familiar with JQuery's implementation of $.ajax and $.getJSON versus using something like Sys.Net.WebServiceProxy to call the server. One nice thing about the asp.net ajax client stack is the hooks for network calls, we used this for creating a base behavior that can inspect the response from the server and do something specific (ie: looking for certain HTTP Status codes).
I thought that ASP.Net's libraries were adapted to use jquery... http://www.aspcode.net/ASPNET-and-JQuery-first-example.aspx
If true, it would mean the two are linked in speed. Although jQueries libraries are likely updated quicker.

United States/Canada Border
Dressed in what looks like military fatigues, Beltran is charming, welcoming, easy to talk to. His speech is tinged with a slight Latino accent. But he doesn't want to talk much about his work; he says he can't reveal where or how agents operate or how many of them there are. Instead he talks about himself. The son of migrant workers, he grew up on farms across the country. "I started working in the fields with my parents when I was 7," he says. "I was born in Oregon. We were there picking pears. We went where the work was–Minnesota, wherever."
I express surprise that someone with such a background would join the Border Patrol. "My story isn't unique," he says. "There are a lot of agents who were migrant workers. My first relations with the Border Patrol, as a kid … We'd be out there in the field and you'd see an airplane coming and then you'd see cars coming."
Because all agents are required to serve five years on the southern boundary before they transfer north, I meet many agents like Beltran who have come to Vermont from the U.S./Mexican border. He tells me that where he was stationed in Texas, 600 agents patrolled the one town. "It's a lot busier down there," he explain. "On the southern border, at dusk, you just see these people coming toward the fences, and when you see them, you know they're just waiting for darkness, when we can't see them anymore. It's different here, for sure, but the bottom line is that our job up here is hard, and it's not any less dangerous. We can't be wrong once."
I mention the feeling of annoyance among some Vermonters who aren't used to being interrogated so closely. "A man brought me an issue of Vermont Life from 1964," Beltran recalls. "It had an article about the border and how easy it was, that no one cared if you crossed.And I said, 'Yeah, that was Mayberry. We've had things happen in this world now. We'll never see Mayberry again.'"
That evening, I cross into Quebec for dinner in Stanstead, Derby Line's Canadian counterpart. As I drive across the border, I notice that someone has planted a beautiful flower garden in a circle around the international marker. I pull over and get out to take a photograph. When I turn around, I see a Canadian customs agent gesturing furiously at me.
"Come!" he shouts. "Come!" When I reach the customs station, he admonishes me sternly: "You could be arrested! Don't you know?" His words are inflected with heavy French tones. "You have not checked in, and you are out of your car wandering around!" I explain that I want to photograph the marker. "You are not allowed to do that," he replies. "You are not allowed to get out of your car!" After abruptly checking my passport, he waves me through, clearly impatient.
In the morning, I stop for gas on my way out of town. Fernando Beltran is leaning on a Vermont State Police cruiser, talking with a female trooper. He waves across the parking lot, and I go over. He tells me to go up to the very top of Shattuck Hill and take a picture of the view. "You'll see the whole lake from there," he says. "Man, is that bee-yootiful!"
From Shattuck Hill I see cloud shadows playing on the green hills all the way across Lake Memphremagog and into Canada. Memphremagog is a mystical 27-mile-long glacial lake, about a quarter of which lies in Vermont, the rest in Quebec. It's 350 feet deep and harbors not only the legend of a monster named Memphre but smuggling lore galore, including caves where contraband was hidden.
The tip end of the lake is surrounded by the city of Newport, Vermont, a busy little community with a surprising number of banks. I walk down to the waterfront, with its small harbor and marina, an idyllic stretch of water that would set any sailor to longing. I look for the harbormaster. There's a little building on the dock, with a phone on the outside wall. The sign instructs anyone who's coming in from Quebec to call the customs agent from this phone. Inside, the office has a desk and a chair but nothing to indicate that anyone ever sits here.
A burly fellow is emptying the trash. I ask where I might find the harbormaster. "That would be me," he says.
"Where are all the boats?" I ask.
"Well," he replies, "these are international waters, so it gets kind of messy. The waters are patrolled."
"So people don't want to keep boats here?" I ask. He shrugs.
"Are there harbor tours?"
"Used to be," he says. "But they don't do that anymore."

Hi, is the any possible way to change the wp-admin into another name? I feel very unsecure using the wp-admin since everyone having the same. It will be easily hack by hacker.
Hi, is the any possible way to change the wp-admin into another name? I feel very unsecure using the wp-admin since everyone having the same. It will be easily hack by hacker.
I have never heard about a hacked blog because of the name of that folder (and I've spent quite a long time around here).
However, I have seen a lot of hacked blogs because:
- week passwords
- files with world wide writable permissions (aka editing themes online)
- insecure plugins
Thank's for your reply. I already found the solution.
Here some of my concern:
-Hacker know our main username is 'admin' (which can't be deleted)
-Hacker know if we powered by wordpress, our main editing website address is "http://our_domain_name/wp-admin/"
*Now hacker just need to do is to crack password :)
If we able to change the folder name and admin username, it will reduce our risk.
I just hope that wordpress able to solve this issue on their next update.
Thank you for your support. :)
what was the solution?
to stop wanting it.
You can just rename index.php within wp-admin folder into anything else (i.e.: login.php)! It works.
For admin login use the path: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/login.php :D
There is also another solution:
that's a solution to *a* problem, but not *this* problem.
securing the wp-admin folder and renaming it are not the same thing. It should be possible to do BOTH.
Interesting idea, of course from my experience of hacking through the WP code, there is an awful lot of hardcoded references to the admin folder.. But I don't know that much about WP so maybe. Since the result of moving wp-admin to wp44-admin would be they would start using bigger guns and attacking everywhere, it might be better for the server resources if WP developers just added a lock-out after so many attempts.
The problem that I have seen in the past with that type of setup is when they build it all into the database.. whcih effectively just gives you a slower site.
One way you could make apache and WP do this is by having .htaccess code that denies access based on the value or presense of a cookie, which mod_rewrite can see in the Set-Cookie HTTP header. So after 10 bad login attempts the login script stops providing the robot with the correct cookie, thus locking them out.
there is an awful lot of hardcoded references to the admin folder.. But
there is one line perl command that can recursively grep all files for a word and replace that word with another word -- its not THAT hard to do.

Zac Efron wearing Designer Jeans
Zac Efron in Simon Miller Jeans
Zac Efron was pictured with Christopher Mintz-Plasse on the set of their new movie 'The Townies' during filming in Los Angeles, California.
Zac wore a pair of tight fitting Simon Miller jeans with a Greek letter t-shirt and Nike's. Even when he's on set Zac dresses really well, his clothes are always fitted and very flattering. I think he looks great here!

Zac Efron posed for the photographers as he made his way in to Good Morning America to chat about his new movie At Any Price in New York City.
Zac wore his Nudie Tape Ted Jeans in Organic Snake Authentic with a mini plaid blue button down and dark brown shoes. It's nice to see these out in daylight without the camera flash, they still look equally as pretty though! Buy Nudie Jeans online at SSENSE.

Zac Efron in Nudie Tape Ted Jeans in Organic Snake Authentic
Zac Efron posed for photos on the red carpet at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards which was held at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles, California over the weekend. It's actually great to get a sighting of Zac in denim again! We rarely see him out in candids anymore and his on set outfits don't seem to feature much denim.
Zac wore a pair of Nudie Tape Ted jeans in Organic Snake Authentic with a navy printed shirt and lace up shoes for the event. In my opinion though, Zac's always had the best denim taste for a guy on DenimBlog. He always knows how to pick a jean that fits him perfectly as well as looks amazing in terms of the wash. Like this pair here, I can't fault the fit or look in the slightest! Buy Nudie online at SSENSE.

As they say it, How the West was Once
As they say it, How the West was Once
I realized that while Wendy had posted some great photos of Alberta, I hadn't gotten around to them yet. Here are some photos of downtown Calgary that I grabbed after we arrived in Calgary and took the LRT downtown.
The back of the Nexen Energy Building.
You just about hear someone say, "I want no one to have any fun in this park, ever."
Century Gardens is an urban park located in Calgary's downtown core that was originally developed in 1975 to celebrate Calgary's Centennial. The Devonian Group donated the park land for the creation of a place of respite within the hustle and bustle of a busy downtown. Designed and built as an artistic expression of a landscape referred to as Brutalist; the fountains and water are symbolic of the area's mountains and rivers. The City recognizes this park and its unique features listing it in Calgary's inventory of evaluated historic resources.
What's interesting is that Calgary points out that the park is pretty much worn out and is at the end of it's lifecycle so they are planning to redevelop it. Something that Saskatoon should start to do with Meewasin which is showing it's age.
Westview Heights. A highrise building built in 1972 consisting of a parkade, commercial offices, and apartments. The apartments dominate the building, consisting of the 14th to 39th floors.
The parkade makes up the second to seventh stories of the building, while the commercial section of the building consists of floors 8 through 10 and the 40th and 41st floors. Floors 11 and 12 are mechanical floors while floor 13 (identified as "R" for "recreation") consists of recreational facilities for tenants (a swimming pool, exercise facilities, a lounge, etc.)
The building was renamed from Century Garden to Westview Heights shortly after a 2002 electrical fire.
The University of Calgary's downtown campus.
This parkade reminded me that parking garages don't have to be ugly. On the outside of it are reflective pieces of lightweight metal. They provide a bit of protection for the cars inside but they also move and ripple in the wind so they do a good job of providing some visual interest to the street where there is none.
It is details that make a downtown great and all over Calgary you see that.
Western Canadian Place consists of two buildings, the taller North Tower and the shorter South Tower. It was designed by the architectural firm, Cohos Evamy (the same firm who designed Bankers Hall – East and Bankers Hall – West in Calgary) in late modernist style and was built in 1983. It is the headquarters of Husky Energy and Apache Canada.
Around this time, I got a DM from Dave King who wanted to see if we wanted to grab a bite to eat in downtown Calgary. We ended up at The King and I, an amazing Thai food place that if I say anymore about, Wendy will get upset because she is doing a review of it for Zomato. So I'll add a link to it when she posts it.
Built in 1910 for the J.H. Ashdown Hardware Co. in 1910, this warehouse space remained a store for Ashdown's overstock until the Lewis Stationery company purchased the building in 1972. In 1995 it became another addition to Calgary's loft developments.
Home of Saneal Cameras, the Lancaster Building in downtown Calgary. The Lancaster Building was constructed between 1912 and 1918. Designed by architect James Teague of Victoria, British Columbia, the building incorporates the Edwardian style of architecture. Calgary's first 10-storey structure downtown, this building was named after the House of Lancaster, one of the sides in the British War of the Roses as the subject of history was an interest to the building's original owner, J.S. Mackie.
Calgary seems to understand the importance of all sides of a building better than Saskatoon does. This is at the back of the legendary beer hall in downtown Calgary.
Banker's Hall in downtown Calgary.
So many good memories of the Calgary Tower. It is now Oliver's favorite spot in Calgary. Especially the glass floor. After we went to the top of the Tower and Oliver looked out every single observation binoculars, we headed towards The Bow.
After two days of being up at 4:45 a.m., I feel like I am slacking and sleeping in today. It's almost 7 a.m.
Today we are heading to Heritage Park. I haven't been there since I was in Grade 4. Much as stayed the same but a lot has changed. That was so long ago that the school I attended for Grade 4 has closed.
Before we go to Heritage Park, I need to take Mark to Chinook Centre so we can hit up the Apple Store and he can get a new iPod Nano. His died and then I leant him my old iPod Touch which he then dropped. So here we go again. I wonder if he can get an Otter Box for it.
Oliver doesn't know there is a Lego store in that mall but I can't see us walking by it and not going in.
After that it is to the park where we will wander around aimlessly and eat homemade food, ride a steam engine, take a cruise on a paddle wheeler, and see how Calgary was once.
Another obscenely early morning around here. Wendy posted late last night about the trip out here.
I am waiting for the crew to get ready before we head downstairs to grab breakfast and then hit the road to Banff National Park today. We are taking the old highway through Cochrane along a winding road to Canmore. From there we will make a quick detour into Banff for some fresh bread and food before heading to Johnston Canyon where will hike the trail to the second large waterfall. It isn't so much of a hike then a stroll. It's also a great place to people watch as there are tourists from all over the globe there and they are fascinated by a lot of things (like squirrels) that we find mundane.
From there we are heading to a picnic area called Sawback where we will have a quick picnic lunch, then proceed up the Bow Valley Parkway until we get to Lake Louise. Along the way we are checking out a campground that we plan to stay at next year. It looks good online but it's always nice to see it first hand.
After we explore the Chateau Lake Louise, we are heading back to Banff where the Banff Gondola and Cave and Basin National Historic site wait for us. After dinner the plan is to see the Bow Falls chill out (or warm up) in the Upper Banff Hot Springs before heading back to Calgary.
The Cave and Basin National Historic Site is one of my favourite spots on earth. I loved going there as a kid and I can't wait until I can show Wendy, Mark, and Oliver the site. As for the Chateau Lake Louise, it was there that I proposed to Wendy so it will be fun heading back there.
In a couple of minutes, we will be leaving zombie like for a family vacation to Calgary and Banff National Park. My coffee is being made while the car has been loaded up for the trip. The alarm is being set and the dogs are starting to realize they aren't going. After a quick stop at Tim Horton's for a cappuccino for Wendy, we'll be on the road. Hopefully the boys will fall back asleep in the car. Since they are both zombie like right now, that should not be a problem.
We've loaded two large duffle bags, four backpacks (for stuff to hike in Banff with), six camera bags (one large bag to carry our gear and one smaller bag each), and a cooler full of drinks and breakfast stuff.
We are stopping in Hanna to photograph the abandoned and some say haunted, Hanna Roundhouse and then grabbing a quick lunch in Drumheller while we let Oliver cool off and burn some energy while running to the top of the world's largest dinosaur.
We'll be in Calgary in the early afternoon. Our hotel is right on a CTrain line which we will take downtown as we explore downtown Calgary, the Calgary Tower, The Bow, and the Peace Bridge. Mark and Wendy are also clamouring to check out Mountain Equipment Co-op and The Camera Store.
Saskatoon holds firm and allows kids to be kids
Tobogganing is coming under threat as cities across the U.S. and Canada move to restrict – and in some cases outright ban – the activity.
Saskatoon isn't on the list of cities considering a sledding ban, but the beloved winter pastime remains a dangerous one, say officials.
"Every year we see a lot of these types of injuries," said MD Ambulance spokesperson Troy Davies, who confirmed that paramedics were called to three sledding incidents this past weekend.
The three most common types of injuries stemming from sledding are typically concussions, dislocated knees and twisted ankles, said Davies.
"With the rate of speed that people can get nowadays it's become fairly common for us to deal with these types of calls," he said.
Councillor Mairin Loewen said a sledding ban is unlikely. "This isn't something that I would entertain," said Loewen. "There's typically some risk associated with most winter activities, but this isn't anything that I've heard about."
Dubuque, Iowa, is set to ban toboggans in nearly all its 50 parks. Other cities, including Des Moines, Iowa; Montville, New Jersey;
Lincoln, Nebraska; and Columbia City, Indiana, are following suit by restricting certain runs or posting signs warning people away.
When I was 8, I was sledding in a private park in the Canyon Meadows neighbourhood in Calgary. Â It was a long and steep hill which has a slight curve in it. Â It was well lit at night by light standards that were on the top of the bowl. Â I was sledding on one of the circular saucers which always made you go down backwards. Â
As I was descending this steep and icy hill… backward, I rose up the side of the hill and hit one of the light standards hard and almost straight on with my spine.
I hit the light standard just off centre so I managed to take the full impact but still keep going up over the top of the bowl and back down the other side.
I remember laying on my back and kind of doing a medical version of the song, "Do the hokey, pokeyâ€.
"Put your left foot inâ€
Okay, that is working
"Take your left foot outâ€
So that foot isn't broken.
"Shake it all aboutâ€
Now that hurts a bit.
I was fine but had a bruise going from my one butt cheek to my shoulder.
After some adults confirmed that I was only slightly concussed, I was back on the slope.  Since my neighbourhood didn't have a private park (or a toboggan hill) anything less than a collapsed lung and I would have fought to stay on that hill.
My point is that Councillor Mairin Loewen is completely right. Â All of us knew there was considerable risk of putting small children on fast devices on a hard service with no safety devices. Â We did it any ways and our parents encouraged it.
It is natures way of deciding who can live on the prairies and who has to move to the west coast.
So I heard Derek Powazek talking on Twitter about having a fresh start on Twitter. Someone posted a YouTube video with code on how to unfollow everyone. After a couple of days of considering it, I decided to try it and saw me unfollow almost 1100 people.
So as soon as I did that, I decided to go look for interesting people to follow. Of course there was some family and friends but I decided to find local people to follow and started to click "follow". It was a lot of fun and some people that I was aware of and enjoyed their tweets and never followed were added to the list.
That took me to about 300 followers and then I looked at who I should be following. It was all Alberta names! Apparently many of us in Saskatoon keep an idea on what is going on in Calgary and Edmonton.
I added a few national voices to my followers, photographers, and photography sites and I found myself back at about 900 followers. I also realized that Saskatoon now has a lot of journalists covering city hall. You can blame Dave Hutton for that.
I also followed some MLAs from both sides of the floor. My advice for them is to be more like Brad Wall, Cam Broten, Trent Weatherspoon, or Dustin Duncan. It's okay to act more like humans and less like robots folks!
The people I left behind were the spin doctors, NFL pundits, and a lot of American political voices. They can be fun to follow but don't contribute much to my life.
If I unfollowed you and haven't followed you back, don't take it personally. It will take some time to track down everyone I left behind and I'll get to you soon.
Hi 2015, it's nice to meet you. Since our relationship is rather new and still optimistic, I thought I would make some goals before I kick you to the curb a year from now.
Hike to Grey Owl's Cabin
As Wendy noted, we have never done our expedition to Grey Owl's cabin. It's a two day walk into the backwoods of Prince Albert National Park. It should be a lot of fun.
Explore & photograph some great urban locations
I hate to think of Moose Jaw as a great urban location but it does have some great architecture as does Calgary and Winnipeg. My camera and I need to do some some travelling and exploring. Let's not take too long to reflect on the fact that Moose Jaw has some of the best architecture in Saskatchewan.
So the plan is to spend a day photographing and exploring Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, and hopefully a couple of days in Calgary.
Make progress on my book
Last year I was sitting in a Saskatoon City Council meeting listening to our finest elected leaders talk about residential snow clearing and then voting on cleaning some of our streets. At the same time I was following Calgary City Council make plans for taking over the world.
Since then I have read more about the formation of cities than I care to think of. Why do some cities turn into Calgary or New York City while others turn into Cleveland, Detroit or Regina? Why does it feel like we are wasting the boom? Why do some cities like Saskatoon allow themselves to be defined by low taxes while other cities defined by the quality of life?
Integrate Evernote into my workflow
I have some big plans for Evernote in 2015 but the biggest is incorporating it into my workflow for columns, roundtables, and this blog.
I use it right now and find it invaluable but I know I can more with it in the future.
Enjoy 2015 more than 2014
2014 was okay but I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to.  Here is to more coffees on patios, more late nights on decks, and more fires in the backyard.
Mark posted his New Year's resolutions here while Wendy posted her's over on her weblog.
Winnipeg columnist Brent Bellamey has written a fantastic column on how people fall in love with a city. He is talking about Winnipeg but he could be talking about Saskatoon.
The difficult solution to many of the city's issues is to increase opportunity and prosperity for its citizens, improving their quality of life, growing the economy and civic revenue.
In business, the greatest success is rarely the result of following trends. Wealth comes from being ahead of the curve, predicting and investing in what's coming next. A city is no different. Prosperity, particularly in this age of unparalleled mobility, can only be achieved by building a city that inspires and attracts the next generation.
Often called generation Y, 18- to 35-year-olds make up the largest demographic in North America today, with the greatest spending power and highest level of mobility. Their lifestyle choices will have a significant effect on the economy and competitiveness of cities across the continent. Those that are most successful at retaining and attracting a young, creative population will flourish in the future.
Winnipeg loses 3,000 to 5,000 (mostly young) people per year to other provinces, yet we continue to focus on creating the city of our postwar dreams. Our auto-centric urban-design template has taken the city from being a place with unique neighbourhoods and a distinct personality to one filled with low-density, cul-de-sac development, making it indistinguishable from any other.
Cities across North America are beginning to understand the baby boomer, suburban dream is less often the dream of the next generation.
North American young people are showing a clear shift to a mobile and flexible lifestyle supported by a greater level of density and urbanization. They live in smaller spaces than their parents did when they were young, focussing more on the dream neighbourhood than the dream house. For the first time, car ownership is dropping across the continent. In 2009, American youth drove 23 per cent less than they did in 2001. During that same period, bike trips increased by 24 per cent and walking rose by 16 per cent. Canadian transit ridership is growing at twice the rate of the population, and more than 100,000 of us belong to car-share programs.
These statistics show young people are gravitating in larger numbers to a lifestyle that is much more urban than past generations did. Walkable streets, vibrant public spaces and accessible amenities are beginning to replace the two-car garage and sprawling front-yard dream. The cities Winnipeg often loses its young people to, the places we compete with for investment, immigration and tourism are looking to the future, reacting to and investing in these changing trends.
I am surprised how many people who are in their 20s and 30s aspire to leave Saskatoon still. They want to live in Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal for the very reasons that Bellamey is mentioning; walkable neighbourhoods, excellent public transit, bike lanes and vibrant public spaces. None of them mention the phrase starter home or time of commute in their discussions.
It seems like Saskatoon is trying to build the dream city of the past rather than the future. It is a decision that we could really come to regret, especially as cities like Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, and even Winnipeg (which has a far superior transit service compared to ours) continues to pull ahead.
Let me put it this way, either Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Halifax are correct is striving to build cities that can attract global talent (and therefore become more prosperous) or Saskatoon's method of building more roads and lowering taxes is.
Here is the City of Calgary's Mayor Naheed Nensh's take on this
Even more important than that, for Canada to survive, we must attract the best talent from around the world. So we need the top graduating engineers in Shanghai or Dubai or Mumbai to say, "I can be at the top of my profession in Canada, and that's a place I want to live. We need the financiers to come to Toronto and Calgary as much as they go to Wall Street. And for those people to make those sorts of decisions, we have to have great places to live.
People from Toronto are always shocked when I tell them this, but the oil sands are not located under downtown Calgary. That tower is not, in fact, a derrick. The oil sands are a 2.5- to three-hour flight away. So why are all those great, taxpaying, head-office jobs in Calgary and not a slightly longer flight away, in Houston or Shanghai? Its because people want to live in Calgary. And what makes people want to live in our city is the fact that the transit is good, the road network is good, we have clean water and all those things that make cities work well.
So he mentioned road network. How do you get a functioning road network?
It really is about consistent underinvestment by federal and provincial governments in this kind of infrastructure, and particularly transit. Think about the fact that, in all of Canada, there are two cities that have subways. There are fewer subway lines in Canada than there are in the city of Boston.
The reason the United States has so much transit is because the federal government started playing a very significant role in this in the 1960s and 70s. In Calgary, in Vancouver, and especially in the GTA, its unconscionable how much we have underinvested in our transit systems. Look, I'll be a rhetorical politician for a minute: Investments in public transit are among the very best investments any government can make. Think about all the benefits that accrue from that: There are environmental benefits. There are real benefits in congestion savings, which means you're giving citizens back time that has been stolen from them. Transit is also an investment in social mobility, because if you make it easier to live and work and go to school without needing your own car, suddenly you open up the ability to participate in the economy to far more people. But I think our provincial and federal governments have often seen transit as being at the bottom of the list.
You know what, if we won't build the kind of infrastructure people want, some other city will. We have seen people leave before and they will do it again.
My column in today's The StarPhoenix
A well-travelled friend once told me that Saskatoon and northern Saskatchewan were the greatest places on Earth to be in the summer and the world's worst places to live in the winter.
How much I agree with him depends on the wind chill.
Winters here are long and dreary, and they last from October until May some years. Not only does the snow linger, for many of us, the winter mindset dominates our thinking on all sorts of policies and decisions even during the heat of summer.
We argue about new ideas for the city all of the time. "We can't have bike lanes because it snows half the year." "The winter is too long to waste money on a pedestrian bridge." "Money on parks is wasted because they never get used in the winter."
There is much we don't do because of this white stuff – even when we are complaining about the heat in the summer.
Other cities aren't held captive to winter in the same way.
Many Nordic cities with far worse winters than ours have excellent bike infrastructure and keep the trails cleared year-round.
Edmonton struck a committee last year to help manage winters better.
I am not sure if I agree with the approach that Winnipeg and Calgary have taken with elevated walkways, but I was able to walk all over Winnipeg in -40 C temperatures with only a light jacket.
A report prepared for the Minneapolis-St. Paul region mentioned that nine of the 10 happiest American states are ones that feature cold winters, and listed examples of cities that do winter really well.
In Germany, Austria, and France, people look forward to outdoor holiday markets where they can find a festive atmosphere along with holiday decorations, seasonal gifts, and warm food and drink.
New York City has imported the idea and has set up massive outdoor markets across Manhattan. Before you scoff at the idea, look at the large crowds that come out in any weather to Wintershines. People will come if you give them reason to do so.
December is easy, but we have to make February tolerable. Winnipeg is doing an excellent job. The city pays a lot more for winter snow and not only can you drive around, the sidewalks are cleared. Imagine being able to drive and get around on foot. It can happen.
Winnipeg has also installed heated bus shelters at a growing number of stops. Even in -40 C with a brutal wind, I was able to take off my tuque, gloves, and unzip my jacket while waiting for a bus.
The city has slowly added winter warming shacks as attractions along its rivers. It started as a local idea, and now gets international attention from architects and designers. Those shacks get you out of the wind and give you an excuse to brave the elements.
No matter the weather, thousands of people are having fun all winter long.
Adding a few warming huts each year would make a cold and windy Saskatoon riverfront a lot more tolerable. It would also help connect the different business districts which are spread out because of our river.
Holiday seasonal markets would also be perfect in the Saskatoon Farmers Market. Who knows? It could even one day expand into something other than a weekend destination.
The first step is not warming huts or outdoor markets, however – it is to convince council to get serious about residential snow removal. And our business improvement districts must get serious about keeping sidewalks clear.
Then it relies on everyone figuring out ways to make winters more enjoyable.
Maybe it's a restaurant opening its deck on milder days, or community associations holding outdoor parties in the winter, like they do in the summer.
It requires the city looking at ways of making our parks winter-friendly, perhaps with more fire pits, or ensuring bike lanes are cleared all season long.
It's bus shelters that actually do keep us warm. Once we figure out how to shed the shackles of a cold winter and enjoy it, we will find out that even our summer months can get better.

When Necole Hines moved to Calgary from Toronto nine years ago, she was offered teller positions at four different banks. When she got laid off from a recent job at a stock photography company, she easily found another in sales and administration at a magazine.
Ms. Hines – who spent a year in university but has no degree – has always made lower-end but respectable wages, most recently around $50,000 a year.
But that salary doesn't go very far in what has become one of Canada's most expensive cities, where an oil boom has created reams of new money and driven up the cost of everything from housing to groceries.
The signs of wealth are everywhere – from the frenzy to build the new tallest skyscrapers, skyrocketing sales at the four-year-old Bentley dealership, and plans for high-end malls and neighbourhoods at every turn.
In the country's energy capital, where business people, lawyers, engineers and geologists earn some of the highest salaries in Canada, households making less than a six-figure income – who many would classify as middle class – face a tough slog.
Calgary families earning up to $68,175 still qualify for a three-bedroom social housing unit, proof that even amid Calgary's wealth, middle-class households are being increasingly squeezed. The tight labour market created by the expansion of the energy industry has not eliminated the issue of income inequality. Far from it – the rise in the cost of living is adding to the pressure.
Ms. Hines will attest that if you're not working for an oil and gas company, or one of the other corporate towers that make up the landscape of the downtown, it's an expensive place to be.
"If you don't get into that right industry, you're still having to pay for the same things as somebody else making that amount of money,†Ms. Hines said.
She found she needed a car because public transit isn't reliable, and food basics such as produce and cereal are more expensive. (The Consumer Price Index was higher in Calgary in 2012 than any other city in Canada, except for Edmonton.) In a city where home ownership is prized, the average single-family home costs more than $516,000, so the single mother of three rents the main floor of a house. Although she is the main breadwinner for her family, Ms. Hines has never felt as if she's been able to get ahead. "In this city, it's not that easy.â€
Alberta's bountiful oil and gas resources have given many people steady work, and have made others rich. Calgary is home to more than one in 10 of Canada's wealthiest tax filers, those with an annual income of at least $201,400. Between 1989 and 2010, its share of the national total more than doubled, to 11 per cent from 5 per cent.
But the influx of money and 20,000 newcomers to the city each year – whether it's for views of the Rocky Mountains or the low unemployment rate – means the demand for every service, from housing to hairdressers, has gone up.
"It's not all sunshine and rainbows in Calgary,†Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi said in an interview. "There are a lot of people who are vulnerable. There are a lot of people who are living on the margins.â€
While Calgary has become home to one of the country's highest family median annual incomes – now at $93,410 – increasing wealth has not affected everyone equally. In an analysis of Statistics Canada income-tax data, the University of Alberta's Parkland Institute says Calgary is Canada's most unequal city, as the bottom 90 per cent of income earners saw an average increase in pay (adjusted for inflation) of only $2,000 between 1982 and 2010.
Alberta has the highest average hourly wages in the country, but certain sectors routinely benefit more than others. For instance, while people in business, finance or sales saw large average increases in hourly rates over the past 12 months, wages in art, culture and recreation occupations dropped.
When your Mayor has a vision for your city, this is what it looks like.
Saskatoon loves to talk about how it is a business friendly city and touts our lower taxes. As other cities have learned, being business friendly means a lot more than lower taxes, it means less red tape.
In 2010 the City of Calgary created the Cut Red Tape program to reduce red tape at The City of Calgary. The focus of the program was to remove red tape and make changes that result in our citizens and businesses seeing visible improvements. Some of those changes were small, constant irritants and others may be larger, fundamental issues in regulations or business processes. The aim is to shift our culture from a regulator perspective to a facilitator. The program has been supported by Council and funded through approved applications to the Council's Innovation Fund on a project-by-project basis.
There are some real cost savings both to taxpayers and to the city. Â Take a look below.
Cities around the word are hearing from world class businesses that "business friendly" is a lot more than low taxes, it's about creating a climate where business can be conducted easily. Â It's something that Saskatoon has a way to go on but as Calgary is showing, it is something that can be improved.
And is Calgary's branding for why you need to be there. Â Here is some of the videos from last year.
These are all part of the Be Part of the Energy campaign that Calgary is running.

As the science and knowledge service of the European Commission, the Joint Research Centre's mission is to support EU policies with independent evidence throughout the whole policy cycle.
The JRC presented its water-related activities in partner countries during this year's World Water Week [2], which was held in Stockholm from 1-6 September under the theme "Water Cooperation: Building Partnerships".
The focus was on the two Regional Networks of Centres of Excellence in Water Sciences in Africa (NEPAD SANWATCE [3]) and Latin America (RALCEA [4]), which fall under the EU Water Initiative [5] (EUWI). The main goal of these networks is to promote policy making and capacities in the water sector based on scientific and technical knowledge.
Collaboration with the African network is mainly through workshops, where obstacles such as poor access to data or lack of good data quality and accuracy, and challenges for the future, for instance improving the coordination between the institutions or adapting the information to the specificity of the stakeholder, are pointed out.
An example of cooperation with Latin America includes the organisation of several training sessions on REFRAN CV software (Regional Analysis of Climate Variables), which the JRC developed together with the RALCEA institutions to perform regional frequency analysis of precipitation data.
World Water Week 2013 explored perspectives for building partnerships, advancing future water cooperation and finding solutions for the world's water-related challenges. Over 100 events were organised, including 60 seminars, 42 side events, 8 scientific workshop and two plenary sessions.

Who Murdered Jesus ?? Talmudic Jews aka Pharisees aka Judaism
Posted in the Dallas Forum
1 - 1 of 1 Comments Last updated Aug 8, 2012
United States
#1 Aug 8, 2012
With all that is so Obvious, millions of christians lead themselves to a DEAD END.
During the time of Christ the Scribes and Pharisees were constantly heckling and challenging Jesus, and it was they who plotted his crucifixion......Jesus called them serpents, vipers, blind guides, whited sepulchers, and hypocrites who will be damned to hell.[2011] Solving the Mystery of Babylon the Great by Edward Hendrie
Former Jew Benjamin Freedman, in his book Facts are Facts, traced the lineage of modern day Talmudic Jews back to the Pharisees of Christs time:
The eminent Rabi Louis Finkelstein, the head of The Jewish Theological Seminary of America, often referred to as "The Vatican of Judaism", in his Foreword to his First Edition of his world famous classic "The Pharisees, The Sociological Background of Their Faith", on page XXI states: "... Judaism ... Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes in name ... the spirit of the ancient Pharisees survives, unaltered ... From Palestine to Babylonia; from Babylonia to North Africa, Italy, Spain, France and Germany; from these to Poland, Russia, and eastern Europe generally, ancient Pharisaism has wandered "demonstrates the enduring importance which attaches to Pharisaism as a religious movement ..." [2011] Solving the Mystery of Babylon the Great by Edward Hendrie
What did Jesus have to say about the religion of the Pharisees? Jesus said, they masqueraded as religious men who have the oracles of God, but they were really irreligious, teaching instead the doctrines of men.....To what traditions was Jesus referring when he upbraided the Pharisees for using them to transgress and replace the laws of God? Can we find out about those traditions today? Yes; the Talmud is a codification of the traditions of the scribes and Pharisees to which Jesus spoke.....During the time of Christ the Scribes and Pharisees were constantly heckling and challenging Jesus, and it was they who plotted his crucifixion.[2011] Solving the Mystery of Babylon the Great by Edward Hendrie
One can sense the contempt that the Pharisees had for the common Jews in John 7:49, where common Jews were impressed by what Jesus had to say, and the Pharisees responded by cursing the Jews for not knowing the law. The law to which the Pharisees referred was their oral tradition. William Wotton explains the undue burdens placed on the Jews through the laws of the Pharisees:They were absurdly minute in the literal observance of the their vows, and as shamefully subtle in their artful evasion of them. The Pharisees could be easy enough to themselves when convenient, and always as head and unrelenting as possible to all others. They quibbled and dissolved their oaths with experienced casuistry.[2011] Solving the Mystery of Babylon the Great by Edward Hendrie
According to Miller, Pharisee Judaism is not a religion at all, but a secret society posing as a religion, a "sect with Judaism as a rite." She cites Moses Mendelssohn who wrote "Judaism is not a religion but a Law religionized."[2012 Jan] Edith Starr Miller - Murdered for Exposing Conspiracy

Dallas inks two; cuts Williams
The Associated Press
IRVING (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys signed their top draft pick, gave tight end Eric Bjornson a two-year contract and cut running back Sherman Williams on Monday, two days before training camp starts at Wichita Falls.
Defensive end Greg Ellis of North Carolina, the No. 8 overall pick in the NFL draft, signed a six-year, $11.5 million contract that included a bonus check of $5.4 million.
Ellis is already slotted as a starter because veteran Tony Tolbert was cut because of his bad knees.
"It was important to get Greg into camp the very first day," said owner Jerry Jones. "He needs time to get entrenched."
Ellis ordered his agent, Butch Williams, to get the contract done by the time camp started.
"Greg took away all my leverage," Williams said. "But we're happy with the contract."
Ellis said, "I'll be working with the first unit right away and I needed to be there when camp opened. I'm a rookie in a new system I know nothing about in a new league."
Bjornson signed a two-year deal for $1.2 million that included a bonus of $368,000. He will count $400,000 against the Cowboys salary cap this year.
Williams, a second-round draft pick in 1995 out of Alabama, became expendable when the Cowboys got free agent Chris Warren, who played with Seattle.
Williams rushed 121 times for 468 yards and scored two touchdowns last year.
"We are happy with where we are at running back with Emmitt (Smith) and Chris Warren," Jones said.
The Cowboys also released free-agent cornerback Ron Bailey of Georgia.
Still without deals were second-round tackle Flozell Adams and fifth-round linebacker Darren Hambrick.
Dallas failed to invite to camp return specialist Herschel Walker and special teams star Bill Bates, who has played for the Cowboys for 15 years.
Bates said Monday it was "discomforting" to not be a part of the Cowboys plans as a player, but he wouldn't mind helping out as an assistant coach.
"It looks like the decision has been made," Bates said. "It's a young man's game. It's not what did you do for me yesterday. It's what you did today. That's the nature of the game. I would love to coach."
The veteran minimum salary cap is now $375,000, and Bates said "that didn't help any. Sometimes it's a financial decision."
Jones said an announcement on Bates' status would be made on Wednesday in Wichita Falls. P>
