uncle's/brother's/mom's/kid's/etc. Pally/Shaman/Rogue/Warlock/Sous Chef/etc. Where should I go to learn a level 80 that I've never played before?
Oh! Oh! I know! NOT IN HEROICS!!!!
FFS last night was absolute hell with this in Random Heroics.
"Um, hey Pally. You have a 5200 Gear Score. Why are you pulling 1100DPS?" (Never answers) "Can we at least have some buffs?" (My Mage gets Might)
Next run:
"Um, you OK there Shadow Priest? You're uh...pullin a whopping 619DPS". (This one throws out the typical answer) "I'm laaaaggggiingg!!!!" "Can we get some buffs???" "Helloooo???". "Buffs?" Then after threatening to /kick "What am I supposed to do with 3 spells?" Are you serious? You think your Spriest has 3 spells?? Then the real explanation: "My brother told me to just use these 3 spells".
Bang head against wall, have a cigarette, queue up.
"Hey Beartank, mind giving us some buffs?" "Hello? Mr. Bear?" "BUFFS!!" (Bear bouncing around and spinning in circles...then "pulls") I say "pulls" because my Ret Pally ended up pulling all aggro and tanking everything. Four pulls in my jackass friend/guildy/raidhealer stealthleaves group and I die. "Dammit, why didn't you tell me on Vent you dropped group???" Him: OMG dude I was laughing too hard!!"
That's a lotta hell for one night.

Ummmm okay, another complaining about random heroics, I never have much of a problem at all cept for DKs nijaing gear.
People just don't know how to research their class, it's not their fault if they don;t feel like reading forums to learn how to play well, they are having fun that's all that matters to them.
They leveled quickly without many group expiriences to learn tips and group ethics.
IMO wow is full of them and you sorta have to deal, I kick alot of people, but I'm the tank so I'm allowed to pretty much do whatever I want.
Changes to vote kick FTW in 3.3.3
Feb 24, 2010 at 8:37 UTC
sad one. But from the expiriences of a lot of my friends in WoW: Very common these days. Not only on US realms.
But good to know that I`m playing my shadow kind of OK. 2600 DPS with a gearscore of threehundret and something. lol
Feb 24, 2010 at 8:39 UTC
Well a trial by fire is one way to learn. A bit painful for the others in the group that may be unwilling to deal with that type situation but people do learn from mistakes and I am sure they are going to make a good deal of them trying to play a different class for the first time in a heroic.
A bit stressful for others but in the end it is just a game. I see very little point about getting frustrated or mad over a bunch of pixelated toons on my computer screen. If I reach that point of frustration then it is just time to stop playing for the night. No sense in not enjoying yourself as the game is designed for entertainment.
Sorry you had a bad set of randoms though.
Feb 24, 2010 at 8:50 UTC
The best way to learn a class is level it from 1-80. Then each time you get a spell you know what it is for and what it does.
The most frustrating thing for me is the fact that people won't answer in chat. There is a lot to every class and if you say I am on my brothers char and never played this class before most people will help. The ones that won't you don't want to run with them anyway.
I got tired of being the bottom of the DPS meter in groups so I googled best hunter spec, shot rotation and looked at the best hunters gear to see how it was gemmed. Now in a 25 man I am always in the top 5.
Most important is have fun.
Feb 24, 2010 at 9:21 UTC
I agree the best way to learn your char is going from 1 - 80 (ok it's boring if your doing it for the 8th time but you gain all the necessary knowledge from using these spells over and over)... I never dungeon run before lvl 70 but a quick read up on forums and some informative websites goes along way... my warrior in dps spec was being out dpsed by my tank gear... so I researched Best Warrior dps setup and got loads of idea's boosting my Dps from 2100 (fury) and 2300 (arms) to 2600 (fury) and 2800 (Arms)...
Feb 24, 2010 at 9:47 UTC
I think the best way is not only from experience and research but also to ask fellow players of the same class who seem somewhat coherent when it comes to their specific class. Most (and I say most with a grain of salt since we know how many tards there are) people are happy to give some pointers.
Feb 24, 2010 at 10:32 UTC
I look to guildies for this, many of them have been playing a lot longer than I have and they are a great resource. When I switched from ret to holy (quite a while back) I utilized the two holy pallies in the guild as well as research to improve my game play. Both of them would look at the stats for certain fights and help me by critiquing what I did. It was a big help and I now put up better number than either of them. ;)
Feb 24, 2010 at 11:09 UTC
The (my) point is (for those with comprehension issues), don't learn to play the game in a Random Heroics. Smack around a target dummy, go kill some random creatures out in the wild. Ask other players. Hell, do a Random Non-Heroic. Don't learn the damn game in HEROICS. Some of you may have uber geared toons which can carry a lame group, good for you. You're apparently used to that fact. There's more to the world than your little bubble. Crap geared groups do get assembled and a lame duck can kill the whole run. I run Heroics across 6 toons ranging in GearScore from 3000's to 5000+. I'll carry a dud on my high-geared DPS but it's just not possible if you get thrown into a low gear/skill group.

The problem is people jump on others characters to get them the daily's.
I was in a guild run one time and the hunter that runs with us was doing very crappy DPS and I whispered our healer and said WTH. He told me it was the hunters husband doing the dailys for her and he didn't know the shot rotation.
Common sense says the buttons are set up in order just smash the buttons sheesh.
Feb 24, 2010 at 11:19 UTC
Frankly if I get more upset with people simply being jerks in random heroic rather then if we wipe 1 or 10 times. Sure it can get annoying to take a little longer to pull mobs and you have to focus a bit but why are people in such a hurry that they have to finish the instance in 10 mins.
Yea yea i know emblems but sheesh I have five level 80's that I raid with and I am sorry I still play the game to have fun and I really do not mind. taking 30 mins to run a dungeon if that is what needs to be done. Stop being a jerk and whining about how bad someone plays and maybe try to take the time to help them play better.
I am sorry I don't care if MR. 5900 Gearscore has three other toons to run his daily on but not everything in Azeroth revolves around him and his raiding characters. Things will go smoother if you just take a few minutes and help someone else and if you can not do that well leave and wait your 15 mins to repug it. Just don't be a jerk.
Feb 24, 2010 at 1:37 UTC
This. I can deal with people just learning. I know that you can level from 1 - 80 solo questing and not really know how to play in a group. I can deal with beginning raiders much better than people being jerks. We were all beginners at one point. The only time I ever left a group that wiped a few times was when I had expected the random to take 45 min. or less ( which they usually do) and had to leave because it was raid time. I now make sure I don't start a random if I have less than an hour just in case I get in one that takes longer than usual.
Frankly if I get more upset with people simply being jerks in random heroic rather then if we wipe 1 or 10 times.
John, it sounds like you don't have the patience to group with people who are less skilled and should probably look into doing random dungeons with your own group instead of just going with the luck of the draw. That will save you a lot of aggravation and make the game more enjoyable for you.
Feb 24, 2010 at 2:02 UTC
You guys just don't pay attention. I avoid the Blizzard forums because I know for sure it's infested by immature, ignorant A.D.D. trolls. Through Spiceworks I thought I would be interacting with like adults in professional careers who (I had hoped) would have a higher comprehension level. Read my other posts in other threads. I have a VERY HIGH tolerance to players new instances. I've taken a lot of my own time to coach players who are a bit off. The subject HERE: (Please take a moment to read clearly and understand) "Don't learn to play World of Warcraft in HEROICS". Are we clear yet? We all on the same page? Before learning to drive did your parents throw you the keys to the family car, having never driven before, and say "The highway is two left turns and a mile that-a-way. Have fun!"? Get what I'm sayin yet? Anything sinking in?
AGAIN, the issue, jumping on to WoW, having never played it, logging on to some level 80 toon owned by someone else, going in to a Random Heroic, causing wipefest 2010.
You guys are letting me down here. I don't know if it's possible to clarify this any further. Suddenly having Random Heroics flashbacks. I need a smoke.
Feb 24, 2010 at 2:59 UTC
I understand completely that your upset that you felt people who never played a toon in there life is making heroics difficult.
Although I must admit that; Yes, my dad did basically hand me the keys to the family car one day and said let me drive before I had a license or ever drove by myself before.
Really it sounds like you are forgetting that it is just a game. There are 11 year old and 60 year olds who play this game and that is just a guess. You are dealing with people over a wide variety of ages and backgrounds and may not even speak the same language as you and you are expecting them to act a particular way. You except them that simply because they are playing a level 80 character they should know how to play it.
That is not always the case and complaining about it really doesn't do anything other then to let you blow off steam yourself.
Maybe the pally was on the phone talking to his wife and too distracted to give the right buff.
One brother was trying to get another brother interested in playing the game or got called by his mother and instead of letting everyone wait he lets his brother play for him.
The bear tank may be been raised a resto druid and is trying to learn how to tank and has not got the knack of getting aggro or needs gear/emblems to get better gear.
You have DPS pallys that que as healers just so they have wait 15 to 20 mins to get a random maybe even dps druids as tanks.
You also have people who stop playing the game and someone else inherits the toon and they see a green eye and queue for a dungeon so they figure "hey, this is neat lets see what this is like."
Sure I agree that having someone playing a toon that they never have before it going to be a pain the butt and stressful and it probably is not the best time but then again it is just a game in the end. If you can not deal with the group then leave so you don't have flashbacks of those pugs from days past.
Not everyone who plays wow understand it. They simply play because it is a game. There are people who don't know the difference between pvp and pve gear. Those who really do not understand how to install an addon or see how much damage they are doing. They look at gear and all they see is a bunch of numbers and they are higher then the last green piece they had. These people and the few that do know what they are doing are the people running randoms. You simply cannot expect to get group with people that know what they are doing for one reason or another.

"Don't learn to play World of Warcraft in HEROICS".
I don't know about anybody else, I just have a hard time grasping the idea that someone who has never played WoW at all would actually be running a Heroic. I have never run across someone in a Heroic who didn't know the game at all and my mind can't grasp the idea of finding more than 1 such person in the same night. I'm not saying it didn't happen to you, there are a lot of strange people playing.
Now my son has run heroics on a couple of my alts before. He had not leveled those classes, but he knows the game, has his own level 80s and catches on to the new spells and abilities real quick. Even then, he would go to figure out a rotation on the dummies first. I don't know how he does it, but he seems to know everything about every class. I always go to him when I'm not sure how to gem or enchant new gear for my alts (I know my main pretty well so I don't usually need advice for her)
I have 2 low level characters on a random server that I log on to if someone comes over and wants to learn to play. I teach them the basics and let them try out the game on one of them. I would never let someone other than my son play any of my high level toons and have a hard time believing other people would.

YES!!! That's what I've been talking about! This is what made it so post worthy...LOL! Finally! Somebody understands what I'm talking about here. (queue the angels singing) Like I said...it was hell night in Heroics. My wife and friend/Guildie couldn't believe it. Three of them in one night.
Feb 24, 2010 at 4:52 UTC
WoW is pretty cut n dry. Every class has a spell or ability that works just about the same as another class. If i roll a warlock 80 even if i've never played one, if I play a mage, I know that there will be at least one spammy spell, one spell to hit after I've accumulated a buff or some sort of effect on the target. There's usually one or two other spells that coincide. reading each talent the person is specced into usually helps - while also identifying what skills they have and how much each costs etc. It's pretty easy.
Best way to learn is queuing for AV and killing mobs.

Wow, LT1John seems like you have some anger issues. You must smoke alot.
You always get so excited in the forums. I've given up on complaining about all the shit that happens in WOW now. It's just a game. I'm actually thinking it's time for me to take a reak from WOW...
Feb 26, 2010 at 1:59 UTC
Yepp, it´s a game and we want to keep the topics on the game and not on the players. At least not the ones from this forum.
And always think on "Goosefraba"! :-)
Feb 26, 2010 at 8:34 UTC
Try working for the US Government...LOL

Coming home and slaughtering many many things makes me happy. Besides, what else am I gonna do buried in 4 feet of snow (don't you dare mention skiing, I am NOT coordinated for any sport but racing and kickin the crap outta unruly drunks at my buddies strip club)? Can't wait till spring...then it's WoW 2nd to cruisin on the Harley for anger management.
You gotta understand, in my line of work, if things don't get done 100% jobs and lives are lost. No bullshit. I work for NAVY SBIR, DoD, DoE, NASA for tech transfer. When we continue to give 100% lives are lost...only it's "the enemy". This line of work looks for people just like me. Someone who gives 100% all the time. Someone who typically has a lax attitude doesn't make it long around here. Stress? Hell ya. High expectations? You bet. I know every person out there has the potential for great things. It does irritate me when people are lazy/slack off/give minimal effort/dumb. But that's just me. And besides, I give y'all plenty to talk about!
Feb 26, 2010 at 8:42 UTC
DoD = Day of Defeat half-life mod :-p
You my friend are going to die young with all that stress on your shoulders! so before you die can you give me your car you have in your picture? it's nice :)
Feb 26, 2010 at 8:51 UTC
It's an epic Purple 1995 Z28 Convertible 6spd leather interior 450hp+ (est.)...with about 23,000mi. I have a lot of stress relievers in my life...LOL. I rarely drive the car. It's become more of a hobby than a mode of transportation.

I have been out of normal and consistent employment for the last five years. I have had part time jobs that lasted only weeks and was again back home as a housewife. By the grace of God, I am now in fulltime employment. One of the things that I cherished most when I was at home was the amount of time in my hands to do my things which included spending quality time with the Lord. With my job, things have suddenly changed. I find myself often fatigued and with little time to enjoy the same time with God as I did before.
One day, I was hurrying to work and praying. I repented for not being able to wake up early enough to pray because of the fatigue that had become a part of my life now. I seemed to have time deficiency. I hurriedly thanked God for the day and asking Him to protect my family. This, I felt was the least I should do before I started the hectic day.I could hear the speed of my words as I prayed and I did not like it. I had been praying for a job and the Lord had now provided. I did not want the job to become a hindrance to my relationship with God. I knew that His blessings maketh rich and addeth no sorrow yet the job was taking almost all my time and a significant amount of my energy. I honestly felt like my relationship with God was taking a downward trend. That was a major concern to me.
But God spoke to me that day specifically about my relationship with him. He told me that He loved me and would protect my family even if I did not ask Him to on that very day because we are in a relationship. He would even do more than I had asked Him to. Although he loves to fellowship with me our relationship did not end just because I had not prayed or read His word on a given time. He did not want me to feel guilty and get frustrated about it because that is religion and not relationship.He reminded me that I was in a covenant relationship and He keeps covenants. I was overwhelmed by His compassion and awakened to see how religious I was. As if to confirm what He had said to me I read the following from A.W Tozer's book, The pursuit of God.
Since believing is looking it can be done any time.No season is superior to another season for this sweetest of all acts. God never made salvation to depend upon new moons or holy days or sabbaths. A man is not nearer to Christ on Easter Sunday than he is , say on Saturday, August 3, or Monday, October 4. As long as Christ is on the mediatorial throne, everyday is a good day and all days are days of salvation. Neither does place matter to this blessed work of believing God. Lift up your heart and let it rest upon Jesus and you are instantly in a sanctuary though it be a Pullman berth or a kitchen. You can see God from anywhere if your mind is set to move and obey Him. A. W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God.
I realised that though my job had ushered me into a different lifestyle, my prayer life and fellowship with God was taking on a new dimension that I had not anticipated. God wanted me to learn how to worship Him anywhere and anytime and that would amount to more time than I had before. God was doing a new thing and I had not yet perceived it. He was taking our relationship to another dimension and His feelings for me had not changed. It reminded me that God chose to send Jesus to save us when we were of no use to him because of our sins.
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. Romans5:8(NIRV)
As soon as I got that revelation, my attitude changed. I am now learning to fellowship and worship God everywhere I am and not only in a closet at home. I don't have to say the hurried prayers of protection and run off to work but I have more time with Jesus through the day. I realise that I need to spend time with the Lord and His everlasting love is not an excuse not to prioritise my time with Him but Iam free to love Him back without feeling guilty of my failures and circumstances. Our relationship with God is a covenant sealed through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. It is already done. Although we may change because of circumstances, God does not change. He remains the Ancient of days.
I hear the Lord saying the following to You and I.
He said, "I have loved you with a love that lasts forever. I have kept on loving you with faithful love. Jeremiah 31:3 (NIRV)

Eunice, this is a WONDERFUL message that many need to hear, I think. I enjoyed this very much, and it gave me much to ponder.
Thank you, Eunice for sharing this wonderful truth. You have shared it accurately. He does love us just the same and we must love HIM just the same no matter what life throws at us. It is such a joy to walk with HIM moment by moment and experience many surprises. GOD BLESS YOU

the photopass site isn't working for me. It's been at least 5 hours or so.
I cannot make reservations, it says error occurred. Multiple times.
Disney.com doesn't seem to be updating the date. Trying to make my fastpasses at midnight but the day isn't available yet (and it's still showing yesterday as available :(
I couldn't log in either. Just got off the phone with Disney, the representative confirmed that they are having "technical difficulties" with their website right now but couldn't tell me how long it would be before things were back up and running properly.
Disney isn't letting me login, despite zero doubt that I'm using the correct password. Based on a couple of other recent comments, it looks like the site is just not authenticating logins right now.
Isn't recognizing my login information all of a sudden! Will call the number listed tomorrow.. I have my entire trip planned through My Disney Experience. I would probably have a melt down if it was lost somehow...

OMV BIXXOL Rally Team ambitious for WRC-points
The OMV BIXXOL Rally Team will be represented by two teams at the finale of the FIA Production-Car World Rally Championship, the "Wales Rally GB". And for the first time this season both OMV pairs stand realistic chances for scoring points. Stepan Vojtech and Michal Ernst (CZ) have reached their best WRC-result by fifth place in Ireland. And after Claudiu David/Mihaela Beldie had proven their talent at the WRC-run in Japan they once more gave a great performance at the OMV Rally Waldviertel by finishing in eleventh overall place.
A big opportunity
In Argentina the Romanian OMV duo Claudiu David and Mihaela Beldie celebrated their WRC-premiere. In Japan they were already about to score when they drifted off the road three special stages before the finish and dropped back to twelfth place. This shall be remedied in Wales. David: "We know that it is possible to reach the top-8. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX by Stohl Racing are perfectly prepared. We should be able to keep up even if this rally is new to us. The conditions won't differ very much from the ones at the OMV Rally Waldviertel. And we were able to keep up there."
Points always were possible
One thing is already certain prior to the WRC finale in Wales: Stepan Vojtech is the best OMV driver in the P-Car WRC during the last three years. By finishing sixth in Mexico and fifth in Irland the OMV BIXXOL Rally Team has already won seven WRC-points this year. And they plan to add to this account at the Wales Rally GB. Vojtech: "We are very confident since we've got used to the speed in the WRC quite well. We actually had the opportunity to score points at each rally this year. Unfortunately we only managed to pull it off twice. But: all good things come in threes. Therefore we will try our utmost to score points in Wales, too."
360 special stage kilometres on 17 special stages
The Wales Rally GB will commence on Thursday (November 29) at 19.30 local time at the Cathays Park Cardiff. 17 special stages with a length of 359,54 kilometres are scheduled from Friday to Sunday (Novmeber 30 - December 2). The overall length measures exactly 1.271,94 kilometres. The whole rally will be completed on gravel. The super stage on Saturday in the Millenium Stadium is expected to be the absolute highlight. With a length of 1,1 kilometres it will be the shortest special stage in the FIA World Rally Championship. The finish line will be crossed on Sunday at 15.10 at Cathays Park Cardiff.

How to make a blog legal?
At least here in the European Union, an increasing number of lawsuits seem to state that you need to obey the laws of the country in which the blog is accessed, as opposed to the laws of the country in which the blog is hosted, so in order to make a website legal, this poses a lot of extra problems.
For example, if someone tries to access the blog from France, then you need to block images of buildings, unless the architect died more than 70 years ago, as the image otherwise violates the copyright of the architect. For example, images of the Scottish Parliament (by architect Enric Miralles, 1955-2000) or the Sydney Opera House (by architect Jørn Utzon, 1918-2008) need to be blocked in France because the architects died less than 70 years ago. On the other hand, the images shouldn't be blocked in the United Kingdom or Australia since the British and Australian copyright laws state that photos of buildings <i>don't</i> violate the copyright of the architect.
Also, some lawsuits have concerned freedom of speech. For example, Yahoo was fined in the United States for violating French law which says that there is very limited freedom of speech for Nazi products because a Nazi product was offered for sale at Yahoo Auctions. Thus, I need to make sure that posts which violate laws on freedom of speech in one or more countries get blocked in those countries. For example, posts which criticise the Chinese government should be blocked in China because of the limited freedom of speech there, but the posts should not be blocked in other countries.
I found this which allows me to block everything in a specific country, but that is too much: I only want to block photos of recent buildings in France (and in Belgium and in some other countries with similar laws) while displaying all other content in France, and preferably send out a "403 Permission denied" together with a placeholder image telling that French laws are stupid whenever someone tries to view an image of a building.

Bill seeks to close tobacco loopholes
Barred from advertising cigarettes on television, tobacco companies still spend $12.8 billion a year marketing a new generation of tobacco products.
Some $190 million of that is spent in Minnesota, Adam Kintopf, communications manager for ClearWay Minnesota, said Tuesday.
Tobacco companies are still doing traditional marketing, such as targeting minorities and women and sending free boxes of tobacco products to servicemen and women in the Middle East, he said.
"But we also found that they're doing some really remarkable new things that we have not seen before," Kintopf said. "They include some new products as far removed as you can imagine from traditional cigarettes."
He pulled a number of new products out of a small bag to show a reporter, including Snus, small pouches of tobacco placed between gum and lip.
"Snus is sold right now in Minnesota and around the country," said Molly Moilanen, ClearWay intervention program manager. "It's a new tobacco product that is a smokeless product and spitless."
It's being marketed to traditional chewers and also to young people, she said, "so when you're at the club, when you're in class, places where you can't smoke you can use this. Their slogan is 'Boldly go anywhere.'"
Kintopf showed other products being tested in some states but have not yet reached Minnesota. They include tobacco sticks shaped like a toothpick, orbs that look like small breath mints and strips that look like breath-freshening strips. All contain finely milled tobacco that dissolves when placed in the mouth.
"They have a lot of nicotine," Moilanen said. "Right now they're being tested in Portland, Ore., Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio."
New products for the 21st century by the tobacco industry is highlighted in a report, "Unfiltered: A Revealing Look at Today's Tobacco Industry," issued earlier this year by ClearWay Minnesota, an independent non-profit funded by tobacco settlement funds and which operates smoking cessation programs.
"What we're doing right now here in Minnesota in anticipation of this, is we've put together some legislation that would get our tobacco laws ready if and when these come to Minnesota," Moilanen said.
Products would be regulated under youth access laws so teens under age 18 couldn't purchase the product, she said. Also, the new products would be put within state legal definitions of tobacco products.
"Right now, our definitions don't even cover these dissolvable products," she said. "We want to make sure that they are taxed properly."
Other new products include the e-cigarette which are electronic nicotine delivery systems that simulate smoking and produce steam, not smoke. "The Freedom to Breathe Act bans smoking indoors, and that is not covered. We're trying make sure this year that youth can't purchase these."
At Christmas, e-cigarettes were being sold in kiosks in malls in the metro area, she said. "They were prolific in the malls in the Twin Cities area."
"Almost literally every day there is a new press release that appears from anew e-cigarette retailer saying this is the way either to quit smoking or this is the way to smoke when you can't smoke," Kintopf said.
The Tobacco Modernization and Compliance of 2010 would ensure that new tobacco products are covered by existing regulation, such as not allowing them to be sold on the counter next to candy and gum.
It would also prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes to youth, and fund a Minnesota Department of Revenue feasibility study on how best to collect taxes and fees on all tobacco products which would increase collections and reduce evasion.
It would also cover another product, "little cigars," as what they really are -- cigarettes, subjecting them to existing regulations applicable to cigarettes such as tax stamps.
"Little cigars," such as Swisher Sweets and Camel, come in flavors such as grape, chocolate and peach. They look, feel and smoke like cigarettes but have tobacco in the rolling paper which allows them to be called cigars, Moilanen said, thus avoiding cigarette tax and other regulation.
The bill is carried in the Senate by Sen. Scott Dibble, DFL-Minneapolis, and in the House by Rep. Jim Davnie, DFL-Buffalo.
"It is a piece of legislation that will get our definitions and our laws modernized and in step with these new products and with the new tactics," Moilanen said.

Calling this video "More than a Mouthful" is an understatement. The pictures don't really do Saul's dick any justice, not when you get a look at the preview video. It's big and thick with foreskin curling behind its pink, fleshy head. And the title comes from the fact that cocksucker Jim tried getting his mouth around Saul's meat and almost couldn't do it. But Jim's the latest resident cocksucker over at New York Straight Men, so he eventually figured it out.
Saul is Puerto Rican; he's bald with a full, dark beard -- so fucking sexy -- and he's a lawyer. I wouldn't hold that against him, I'd still suck his cock, but maybe I'd bill him in 5-minute increments.
And Saul doesn't mind giving head too and gets down between Jim's legs before the cocksucker is back kneeling with his mouth open and getting ready for Saul's big dick to start shooting jizz.

Corbiac is a historic chapel and former monastery located in the French Pyrenees (département Pyrénées-Orientales) between the villages of Molitg-les-Bains and Mosset.
Its Gothic chapel was built in the 13th century with a single nave and equipped with a gallery from the late 16th century, and an apse decorated with frescoes from the 17th. At the end of the 16th century, the Trinitarian Order founded a monastery here. Several objects originating from the chapel are now preserved in the church at Mosset.
In 1989, the buildings were bought by Rosemary Bailey, a British writer, and her partner.[1] Their restoration of the property featured in Bailey's book, Life in a Postcard - Escape to the French Pyrenees.[2] They sold the property in 2006.
In 2000, Corbiac was listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. Despite this, Corbiac is still a private house and not open to the public.

U.S. Congressman David N. Cicilline (D-RI) issued the following statement in recognition of World AIDS Day:
"Although we have made great progress against the HIV/AIDS epidemic, we still have a tremendous amount of work to do to achieve an AIDS free generation. On World AIDS Day, we celebrate the progress that has been made in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and renew our commitment to stemming the tide of this public health pandemic here in the United States and around the world."
"Today, nearly 35 million people around the world have died from HIV/AIDS, including an estimated 1,593 Rhode Islanders. With nearly 2,200 people in Rhode Island currently living with the disease and up to 100 people infected each year, this disease continues to impact Rhode Islanders and people all over the world."
"Last month, with tremendous bipartisan support, Congress reauthorized the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and I was proud to be a vocal proponent of this action. As we mark the 10 year anniversary of PEPFAR, it is critical that the United States continues to play a leadership role in the fight against this disease."
"Over the past decade, PEPFAR has enabled expanded access to antiretroviral therapy for those suffering from HIV/AIDS, which has led to a decrease in deaths from this devastating disease all around the world. I will continue to work in Congress to advance our ability to eradicate this disease and to support our country in continuing its leadership role in an increasingly international effort against HIV/AIDS."
"World AIDS Day gives us a chance to join in solemn recognition of the lives lost and to recommit ourselves to the goal of ending HIV/AIDS in Rhode Island, across the country, and across the world."

ALMOST £60,000 could be provided by South Lakeland District Council for three 'affordable' homes in Grange-over-Sands.
The council's cabinet approved in principle a grant of £58,000 for three two-bedroom properties on land it owns at the former Yewbarrow depot, during a meeting in Kendal last week.
The money, from the New Homes Bonus, will go to South Lakes Housing.
Council portfolio holder for strategic growth, Coun Jonathan Brook, said: "This project provides much-needed homes at prices local people can afford.
"Tackling the shortage of affordable housing in South Lakeland is a key priority for all of us.
"It is vital that we provide suitable homes for young people so they can stay and raise families here and also for ageing members of our community."
The New Homes Bonus was introduced by the government in 2011.
For every new home or property brought back into use, the government will pay the council the equivalent to the council tax raised by the property, plus an additional £350 for each affordable home.
Local councils are free to spend the bonus in line with community wishes.
"This is exactly what Grange needs," said council leader, Peter Thornton.
Coun Tom Harvey, district councillor for Grange South and chairman of Grange Town Council said: "Its good to see that the New Homes Bonus is being used for the right reasons, namely enabling the building of truly affordable homes in our town.
"Small scale sustainable development like this is exactly what we need and is in marked contrast to the over 500 open market houses that SLDC are trying to lever into our already congested town over the next few years through the Local Plan"

Greetings, everyone! We're happy to be back with more transcriptions from the George F. Parry Civil War diaries (George F. Parry family volumes, Collection 3694). If you're just joining us, in 2012 HSP acquired the diaries of Bucks County resident and Civil War veterinary surgeon George F. Parry. In that collection are three diaries he kept during the Civil War dating from 1863 to 1865, when he served with the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry.
"Traditional history is a ruthless editing machine": Giving Voice to Female African American Abolitionists
For HSP's June 3 event, "Their Story, Our Story: African American Women and the Fight for Freedom", we invited historians, dramatists, and the public to discuss African-American female abolitionists and their place in history.
Reading from his play If She Stood..., playwright Ain Gordon described the experience of an abolitionist woman in the late nineteenth-century fighting for her social and political beliefs.
The artistry on display in the political cartoons of the HINT project is breathtaking at times. Now that we HINT project associates are up to our elbows in encoding—carefully considering the details of each cartoon, transcribing every word, trying to identify every important person, organization, or symbol in the image, and doing our best to explain its message—the hard work the artists put into composing these often very complicated images is more and more apparent. How did they do it?
My past two blog entries chronicled the history behind the enchanting name of Isaac Hazlehurst, and hinted that there must be countless other histories awaiting discovery within the Bank of North America collection. With that said, I never expected to begin treatment on a bank-related volume and find a dramatic story lying within, its details already thoroughly chronicled, merely awaiting a reader to appreciate the rhetoric of the author.
A few weeks back, we shared in the blog post Hail Columbia some political cartoons we've been researching for HSP's Historic Images, New Technologies (HINT) project that feature Columbia and other female personifications of the United States. We've also found several cartoons that use male figures as our national symbol.
On the morning of May 10, 1865, Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America, was captured by soldiers of the Union Army near Irwinville, Georgia, and taken to Fort Monroe, Virginia. Rumors soon began swirling about the circumstances of his arrest—specifically focusing on what Davis had been wearing. The boring version, maintained by Davis, was that he had thrown the nearest coat or blanket over himself in the cold early morning of his capture, unaware of the fact that he had donned his wife's overcoat or shawl.
Anyone familiar with paper will doubtless know that it tends to tear quite easily. Mending such tears is therefore among the most ubiquitous of treatments performed by book and paper conservators. In contemporary practice, the use of natural, time-tested, and reversible materials is of paramount importance.
Friends and acquaintances, we're happy you've returned for more transcriptions from the George F. Parry Civil War diaries (George F. Parry family volumes, Collection 3694). If you're just joining us, in 2012 HSP acquired the diaries of Bucks County resident and Civil War veterinary surgeon George F. Parry. In that collection are three diaries he kept during the Civil War dating from 1863 to 1865, when he served with the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry.
On April 8, 2015, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP) had the pleasure of hosting a lively conversation as part of the event, Voicing the Absent: Crafting History.
The inaugural program in HSP's two-year "An Artist Embedded" project, Voicing the Absent brought together playwrights, historians, filmmakers, and the public to explore the intersections of history and fiction, fact and truth.
This month marks the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War which began on April 12, 1861 at the Battle of Fort Sumter and ended shortly after General Lee surrendered to Grant on April 9, 1865. Over 600,000 Union and Confederate soldiers died, making the Civil War the bloodiest military conflict ever fought on US soil.

Dr Petra
Today I was on ITV's 'This Morning' programme talking about sex education and teenage pregnancy in relation to a launch of a new booklet. 'Talking to your teenager about sex and relationships' will be freely available in UK pharmacies and covers tips on how/when to talk, STIs and contraception. I'll be blogging about the booklet later, as it's a talking point in itself.
The conversation on 'This Morning' was, I thought, very balanced. In fact I think it's the first time I've had a conversation in the media about issues of sex education that hasn't turned into a moral debate or me having to defend the need for sex ed. All the contributors (including a young mum) were in agreement we need sex education and it's the responsibility of schools and parents to deliver.
Young people are getting STIs and children are becoming parents because of multiple factors. Many of them have nothing to do with sex. Poverty, lack of aspirations, boredom, lack of adult role models, dysfunctional relationships, peer pressure, misinformation in the media and living in a massively sexualised culture are all contributory factors.
If we don't tackle wider societal issues, focus on relationships, and move our focus from blaming teenagers, ignoring boys while expecting teenage girls to prevent pregnancy and STIs just by saying 'no', then our problems look set to continue.
I'm committed to help anyone who wants it to try and improve how we look after children and teenagers so if you're a parent, teacher, healthcare practitioner or teenager and want some advice/training please feel free to get in touch and I'll see what I can do to help.
I'd recommend you do get the brochure from your pharmacy, but don't feel if your child isn't a teen you can't read it – I'd get it even if you have a little one.
You may also find the following resources (from previous blogs) helpful:
Fifteen tips for talking to your kids about sex
Sex education starts at home (includes links to sources of help and books for children and teens on sex/relationships issues).
And here's a list of support organisations and advice sites for young people and parents:
For teens
Youth Health Talk has a great section on sexual health that includes answers to your most commonly asked questions and features people talking openly about their experiences with contraception, pregnancy, getting tested for STIs and sexuality issues.
Teenage Health Freak – a lively website that covers a range of health worries (including sexual health, puberty and pregnancy)
Need 2 Know covers a range of health questions, including sex and relationships issues, mental health and confidence
Gay Youth UK has answers to any questions you may have about sexuality (being gay, lesbian, bi or trans)
Scarleteen – a straight talking US based website for girls that gives frank and positive advice about sex and relationships
If you are under 16 the website RUThinking tackles sex and relationships questions in a clear way or if you're over 16 the website Condom Essential Wear also covers information on safer sex, condoms and STIs. Both sites can tell you where your nearest Family Planning and GU clinics are – so you can get free condoms (or other contraception) or have a sexual health check if you need one.
Like It Is discusses issues from emergency contraception to handling puberty
For parents
Parentline Plus has resources on all aspects of parenting and a confidential phone line. They have created specific support resources for parents to discuss sex and relationships issues (including sexuality) with their children
The Family Planning Association (FPA) runs Speakeasy to help parents overcome embarrassment and discuss sex – comes with useful resources and materials links
Talk with your kids (from Children Now) has some helpful pointers on how to communicate effectively and also gets you thinking about your views on SRE issues
The American Psychological Association has a guide on how you can help prepare your child to negotiate relationships and increase confidence and esteem

text: Project Description This project brings public and affordable housing footsteps from a subway station and the iconic MacArthur Park. The site planning and architecture required creative thinking and intricate engineering solutions to build above an existing subway tunnel and Metro station. The shallow metro tunnel required that all new replacement parking be constructed in an above-ground podium. New retail spaces line the podium along 7th Street and Westlake to enliven the streetscape. New units pay homage to the California courtyard typology with large windows that frame this view, as well as those of the Downtown LA skyline and intimate new landscaped courtyards. Even with its 60-unit/acre density, every unit is provided with natural ventilation and direct access to courtyard space. Each family has their own front door, sharing outdoor playgrounds and indoor recreational rooms. The project is a perfect example of a new generation of high quality, transit-friendly affordable housing in Los Angeles.

- "As an actor, I sometimes seek out certain casting directors that I would like to work with. I took a workshop with Gina Gallego, who works with Randi Hiller and Sarah Finn. My agent got a call that they wanted to see me. I went in and met with Randi and Shane Mahan from Legacy Effects. In my audition, I read some from the script and was asked to do some movement with some weapons and that was it. A few days later I was offered the role and was off to measurements and body scanning."
- "I was more a comic fan when I was a kid, but I have got back into them over the past few years."
- "My favourite? Hulk…..Thor…Captain America……Avengers….Superman…. Batman….The Dark Tower."
- " Well, we would start at 3AM to be ready for set by 7AM. No matter what the call time was, it usually took about 3 to 4 hours to get ready head to toe and about an hour to get out."
- "Well, of course wardrobe and make-up didn't want us laughing too much, if you know what I mean. But we had a great time. Hmmm! Let's see. Well, as usually is with the big productions, you are not allowed to be seen outside the studio in the wardrobe. Not even on the lot. You know to keep everything under wraps. But I would tend to go to the stairwells to get some fresh air and to the last day of shooting whenever (even when they saw already what we looked like) someone from production would walk in they would get freaked out. One PA screamed so loud that they had to do another take while shooting. I mean, have you seen us? I wouldn't want to walk into a Frost Giant in a dark or lit alley."
- "There was a scene where Thor threw his hammer at one of the Frost Giants and when the hammer was coming back to him, I tackled him and the hammer flew past and landed on the ground. Next, you saw 2 Frost Giants trying to lift it, but of course they were not worthy."
- "You can't even imagine how amazing it was working with this cast and on this production. I worked mostly with Chris and Tom who were both very sincere and a pleasure to work with. I think that Kenneth just made it so easy for all, that there was no need for attitude."
- "I really enjoyed it. Lot's of fun. I really liked how they stuck to the humor of the comic book with the one liners. Especially mine. "Run Back Home Little Princess." I was a little worried about how they would mix the worlds, but it all intertwined nicely. I have seen it twice so far, and I'm looking forward to checking it out in 2D."
- "I think Chris did a great job. He had a great presence about him. I think he nailed it."
- "Well not at the moment, but I am going to keep my fingers crossed (Kevin, Sarah, Randi). In all honesty, this was an amazing experience working on Thor, not to mention how great a company Marvel is. I know that my name was thrown around a lot on set and how easy it was to work with me. I am sure I will be back with them soon."
"That would be Roland Deschain from "The Dark Tower." But they already have another great actor playing the role. Javier Bardem. I also would be a great Ant-Man."

Living Rosary
A living rosary is when people are used to represent (ideally) each bead of the rosary. Each person leads one prayer of the rosary. If we have 60 people, we can do it so that no one has to represent more than one bead. Please sign up below if you are able to come and "be" a bead in our next Living Rosary.
Living Rosary sign-up
Our next Living Rosary will be held on Thursday, October 25, 2016 at 7:00pm in the Humanities Plaza.

Alert ReubensCube readers will be thinking, "Reuben, weren't you supposed to sell your house a couple days ago? What happened?"
Stuff. Stuff happened. Long story. It's not blog appropriate, but I blame Al Gore, Thomas Paine, Barbara Streisand, and the entire Baldwin family (in that order)..
Selling a house is stressful business.
In other news, we may or may not have bought a house. I can neither confirm nor deny that at this time.

DWF Edinburgh is delighted to host the launch of Cirrus CEO Dr Simon Hayward's book, Connected Leadership: How to build a more agile, customer-driven business, on the evening of Wednesday 8 June.
We are pleased to announce the guest speaker on the evening, Neil Barrell, Director of People Services at Three UK. Three is a featured case study in the book and Neil will talk about how Three has become a more agile and connected organisation following an extensive programme of leadership development.
The book, published in December 2015 by FT Publishing, was WHSmith's Business Book of the Month in January. Simon has recently returned from a book tour of Singapore and Australia.
It provides a clear, practical guide for business leaders who wish to create more agile and customer-oriented organisations in a digitally connected, customer-driven 21st century business environment.
This event, which will run from 5.30pm – 7.30pm, is a great opportunity to hear more about the key themes of the book and to enjoy drinks and canapés in a relaxed environment with guests from a wide range of organisations.
Simon will talk about the importance of developing more connected leadership across organisations in our fast-changing world, drawing on his extensive research. He will highlight some fascinating examples from leading companies in the book and share some practical hints and tips.
Guests will have the opportunity to engage in Q&A with Simon and discussion with fellow leaders from a range of different organisations, and to pick up a signed copy of the book.
Connected Leadership has been well received and highly recommended by several business leaders and academics.
"A great read for managers and leaders who want to make a difference, full of stories and tools everyone can relate to. This book will really help you."

Kumkum Bhagya February 5th episode: Bulbul tells Pragya that she should not make delay in the progress of her relationship with Abhi, as Tanu is pressuring him for marriage. Pragya understands her point. She says that she feels extremely nervous to face Abhi.
Bulbul suggests that Pragya should write a letter to Abhi, expressing her feelings for him. Pragya likes the idea and gives her letter to Abhi. But before Abhi can read it, Tanu drags him to talk about her parents. Pragya remains tensed about the letter. Neel keeps calling Aaliya.
Aaliya tells Neel that she is waiting for a chance to send Bulbul out. Neel cannot wait and comes to Abhi's house. Aaliya scolds him for being so desperate. He says that he cannot sit idle as he has to stop the engagement at any cost. Neel joins the group of masked waiters and enters the party.
Purvi tells Pragya and Bulbul that the engagement party is being monotonous and they must do something new. They plan something and Aaliya eavesdrops. Bulbul and Purab sit for the engagement. As soon as Purab goes to put the ring on Bulbul's finger, the hall becomes dark.
When the lights are on, everyone sees that Bulbul is missing. Purvi explains that they have vanished Bulbul to add some fun in the program. Purab has to find her out, to prove that he truly loves her. Purab accepts the challenge. Aaliya tells Tanu and Neel that Pragya has hidden Bulbul in the storeroom, which has a backdoor. Neel instructs his men to kidnap Bulbul from the storeroom.

For the purpose of the following discussion, the data under consideration includes that contained in store receipts and product packages. The notion of pubwan, of course, applies to all potentially tabular data that are not already in the machine-readable part of the public domain.
manual data entry
The early stages of pubwan development will probably not be possible without manual data entry. This entails participants volunteering time as well as information. Manually entering the information content of store receipts, store shelf tags, product packages and perhaps the occasional catalog (legally questionable?), is bound to be a tedious process. Software must be devised that addresses this tediousness directly and elegantly. Input forms should be end-user configurable, on the fly, given the seemingly intentional non-standardization of the source documents.
Another tool for readying source data for machine readability, and perhaps in some cases tabularity, is XML tagging. Barcode wiki is offered as an example of how this might be addressed. A apropos technology for the pubwan movement to work on would be some sort of XML-to-email-to-(my?)SQL gateway.
automated data collection
Pubwan will need a large data set in order to be useful to people, which is to say, for the "network effects" to kick in. It will need a large number of contributors to populate a large data set. It will need to be easy-to-do in order to attract a large community of volunteers.
semi-automated data collection
The most valuable interfaces are the barcode reader, the GPS receiver and the humble clock (included of course in the GPS system). If one can automatically space-time-stamp instances of barcodes, the only manual data entry is price, which is conveniently amenable to the numeric keypad. What is needed is a single portable instrument which contains a barcode reader, GPS receiver and numeric keypad. Ideally both the hardware and software should be open source. A nice (and eventually necessary) addition is an RFID reader. RFID may be the most potent weapon against early-stage pubwan, and of course against information symmetry in general.
fully automated data collection
Collection of data about consumer behavior by business entities is now fully automated. Granted there are still some manual interfaces such as the warranty card and the form to apply for a loyalty card, but the point of sale is fully automated in the sense that consumers volunteer information for proprietary use with virtually no increase in personal effort over executing the transaction itself. Data collection and warehousing is fully integrated into each transaction. An obvious goal for the pubwan movement is integrating consumer-controlled harvesting of transaction information into the act of purchasing. This will be difficult if not impossible, because all the information technologies involved in the transaction—the cash register, the item database, the market research database, and even the consumer's "own" credit or debit card—are the private property—the proprietary information system—of someone else. Full automation of data collection for pubwan use may require persuading companies in the retail, financial and IT sectors to offer API libraries, akin to developments already underway in the "social networking" industry. This is of dubious potential for pubwan development, given the demonstrable fact that information does not want to be free.
Another approach to the problem may involve the creation of consumer-controlled financial institutions (existing credit unions?) capable of issuing credit and/or debit cards offering cardholder-controlled information flows. Basically this means provision of online statements in a form that is machine-readable, database-importable, high resolution and of nonproprietary format. This still leaves breaking down receipts by line item as a chore for the consumer. More bleakly, there would still be the contractual hooks to the data processing entities behind the MasterCard and Visa brands. This may also be an insurmountable obstacle.

A naifish teen from a loving, well-to-do clan, Isabelle (Vacth) seemingly has the world at her feet. But her sexual journey of discovery leads her into a dark double-life.
A kind of baby Belle De Jour, François Ozon's cracking character study is a detailed, mesmerising slow burn. Played out in four seasonal chapters, the movie follows 17 year-old Isabelle (Marine Vacth) from losing her virginity to a German bozo to becoming a tech-savvy call girl whose secret life is then exposed in dramatic ways you won't see coming. Ozon's filmmaking is elegant, realistic and refined, but even more impressive is his refusal to justify or explain away Isabelle's motivations. In this respect he is helped by the terrific Vacth: at once self-possessed but adrift, world-weary yet tender. A star is born.
Another typically assured piece of work from Ozon with a showstopping turn from newcomer Vacth. Expect to see a lot more from her.

Update on Cory (8/11/2010)
First off, let me assure you that the book, Cory's Story, will not have a sad ending. It is about the life of our dog, Cory, and his success in conquering canine epilepsy. I don't like books that make me cry at the end, and I believe in the power of positive energy. But I can't continue this blog without being honest with you, many of whom have contacted me both publicly and privately expressing such kind wishes for Cory's well-being. The truth is, the surgery which Cory had on his spine last March (see the Cauda Equina section of this blog) did not bring him the cure we were so hopeful for. Cory's hind end has completely failed, and his shoulders are so full of arthritis he cannot walk without assistance. He cannot get up by himself once he is lying down. With tears choking my words I called the woman who owns the place where Cory has been getting hydrotherapy and cancelled the rest of his hydrotherapy sessions. Her response was to inquire how he is doing otherwise. (You mean other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?) So I told her that his mind is still sharp and clear. He has no problem with his hearing or with seeing. He sleeps peacefully by my side of the bed every night without any signs of discomfort. He wants very badly to be with us and he responds with pleasure to hearing us talk about him and having us hug and pet him. She listened intently and then told me that she has a "doggie wheelchair" which she will lend to us. I don't know that that is, but I can't wait to pick it up this evening. I will let you know how it works for him. We are remaining guardedly optimistic. I will keep you all posted on how it goes.
Canine Epilepsy: An Owner's Guide to Understanding & Living with Canine Seizures
This guide will help you and your canine companion deal with canine epilepsy. You'll learn how to detect symptoms of an upcoming seizure, treat during and after a seizure, and prevent future seizures.

If there is anything wrong with modern society, it's that we don't confuse the shit out of our kids. Back in the days when the creators of my childhood cartoons were growing up, apparently dads would just throw their children into lakes in order to teach them how to swim. On the surface, this seems like a really stupid idea: children are just going to drown a ton and you're not getting any better swimmers than if you just taught the kid how to swim one step at a time. But I have now thrown myself into the deadly Lake of C#/XAML (apparently pronounced ZAM-ull), and oh my God do I wish that I had been given some sort of instinct to float to the top.
I suppose that the main issue here is that I'm working with two different languages that I have never worked with before. So far what I have done is found a new video series, called Windows Phone 8 Development for Absolute Beginners, that is laid out much more interestingly and is able to better catch my attention. At times, it helps me understand the fundamentals that are going on, but I feel that the Absolute Beginners association is rather misleading. It would appear, though this doesn't seem to be stated anywhere, that you should definitely have completed the C# Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners array of videos before beginning. However, it would appear that XAML is covered in the scope of the series, as the videos seem to go rather in depth explaining what to do with XAML and what exactly it is. I'm not sure if I need to start the C# videos, though I'm thinking that that will be a good idea. There's also a series for Windows Phone 7, which is rather frustrating; I am trying to target my app to be useful for both WP7 and 8, but I'm not sure if I should be coding using only WP7 things. I don't even know if there are things that are exclusive to WP7. I am pretty lost here, and I guess the biggest issue I'm having is not knowing where to start.
I've installed the SDK for Windows Phone, and so far it seems to be working relatively alright. It takes up a HUGE amount of space, however, because there are essentially 3 or 4 panes that it is displaying horizontally; I really wish right about now that I had an extra monitor or two. The software itself isn't all that confusing, it's just understanding what things to assign to C# and which to assign to XAML, though I am assuming that XAML is only really meant for layout kinds of things.
I'm used to coding in relatively simple IDEs like Vim, Eclipse or Sublime Text, so the whole idea of a suite like Visual Studio is kind of blowing my mind a little bit right now. Apparently I need to install some updates in order to be able to use the phone emulator on my OS (Windows 8.1), so I've been testing the apps that I have been told to make on my phone itself. I usually am pretty anal about keeping software up to date, but I need Update 3 and I'm not sure if I need to download and execute three different installer packages in order to use an emulator I'm not really missing. It is pretty cool to see an app that I have created running on my phone, even if it's just a test and I had had my hand held throughout the process. So far it seems like there are a lot of features to Visual Studio and there is probably no way in hell I will be able to learn very many of them.
I've been scrounging around on the internet looking for the necessary commands that I need in order to run a flashlight app. I found a guide, though of course it says it is for WP8 phrasing and so I have no idea if it will be compatible with WP7. I really don't want the extent of my app to be copying and pasting code, as I would like to add minimal settings to the app. I still have yet to find (not that I've looked, really) any way to make a "three-dot menu" for my app which would ideally include settings. I'm wondering if I should continue on using this code, or if I should try to find a WP7 version. I'm slowly starting to feel like I'm getting a good idea of what challenges lie ahead of me, though I will obviously need to wait and see how difficult this all is in execution.
My current plan of attack is as follows:
- Begin C# for Plebs course, take it until I feel comfortable with the C# syntax I'm looking at here in the most rudimentary way
- seriously what the hell is a namespace I should know this considering I have done an entire year's worth of C++.
- Vigorously study Windows Phone 7 app course, for in order to know the way forward you must know where Windows Phone has been
- See if at this point I can make myself a goddamn app. If not then I guess I'll continue on with the WP8 app development series. Whatever no big deal.
This is the way forward. I am just so excited I have no idea what I am going to do with myself.

|version compatibility plugin?
|Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:46:36 GMT
I attempted to create a version compatibility plugin such that plugins with dependencies on 2.1 artifacts could attempt to be installed in a 2.2-SNAPSHOT server image (mapping 2.1 car artifacts to 2.2-SNAPSHOT car artifacts). However, thus far I'm not having any success. The plugin is fairly simple. Just a bunch of entries for artifact aliases and no other content: <plugin-artifact> ... <artifact-alias key="org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper//car">org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.2-SNAPSHOT/car</artifact-alias> <artifact-alias key="org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.1/car">org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.2-SNAPSHOT/car</artifact-alias> ... I also verified that after installing the compatibility plugin that the entries are added to the artifact-aliases.properties file in var/config: ... org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper//car=org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.2-SNAPSHOT/car org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.1/car=org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.2-SNAPSHOT/car ... Yet, even with these entries, I still get essentially the same error attempting to install samples created for 2.1 in a 2.2-SNAPSHOT server as I had without the artifact-alias entries. I showed the jasper entries above because that is the missing dependency when I attempt to install the Tomcat JSP example plugin created for 2.1 on 2.2-SNAPSHOT (see error below). I had similar results on a 2.1.1 server when I attempted to use a another compatibility plugin mapping 2.1 cars to 2.1.1. Am I missing something obvious? 11:22:45,918 ERROR [PluginInstallerGBean] Unable to install plugin org.apache.geronimo.kernel.repository.MissingDependencyException: Plugin is not installable on Geronimo 2.2-SNAPSHOT Missing dependency: org.apache.geronimo.configs/jasper/2.1/car at org.apache.geronimo.system.plugin.PluginInstallerGBean.validatePlugin(PluginInstallerGBean.java:920) at org.apache.geronimo.system.plugin.PluginInstallerGBean.downloadArtifact(PluginInstallerGBean.java:1081) ...
