...because it's raining in California. Which is a good thing - they need the rain - but not so good for rocket launches.
This launch needs to go well for SpaceX after the fuel tank explosion that occurred during their last attempt, destroying valuable payload and damaging the company's reputation.
The launch has now been scheduled for 9:54am PST on January 14.

From the Mad Cow disease appears till now, Spanish stockbreeders and farmers have had to burn or bury animals died by aging, accident, etc. This fact made that vultures concentrated in protected Nature Parks, where they can only eat dead wild animals. As food was not enough, the number of these birds was decreasing.
More than the 50% of vultures in Europe live in Spain. We've got three main different species: Griffon vulture, Black vulture and Bearded Vulture you can see at the pictures.
Now, experts hope we can watch again these wonderful birds flying all along our sky.

Angelina Marino showed a remarkable series of new paintings at Trinity called "Stirring the Pot". The images were powerful and graphic.
For the holiday show at Trinity, the group that went to Cuba in April organized an exhibit and sale of Cuban art and craft - "Una Fiesta de Esperanza". This exhibit of fine art and folk art offered creative expressions of Cuban culture - community life, sports, music, dance - in a variety of media. Internationally recognized artists such as Manuel Mendive, Alicia Leal and Montebravo were represented in paintings and self taught artists such as Carlos Caceres, Luis Ramirez, Marisol Hernandez and Sandra Dooley brought their intuitive design skills and personalities to their work. Alejandrina Cue's tapestries were brilliant examples of how an artist can re-use materials. The exhibit was produced in collaboration with the Cuban Art Space in New York City and benefits their art programs for children with Down Syndrome.

Five Reasons Blogger B.D. Gallof Loves Hockey
(Ed. Note: Our series "5 Reasons I Love Hockey" features puckheads from all walks of life revealing five things that either made them a fan or that keep them watching hockey. It will run every weekend. Have a suggestion for a "5 Reasons" guest blogger? Hit us on email. Enjoy!)
If you're a fan of our Puck Daddy photoshop contests, you know who B.D. Gallof is. He's the creative mind behind some of the best entries we've seen. Remember Gary Bettman as King Leonidis? Or most recently the fantastic "When Gary Met Sidney"? All B.D.
He's also a prominent voice within the hockey blogosphere as a contributing writer at Huffington Post and has branched out with his own site, Hockey Independent. A big New York Islanders fan, B.D. is also one of the go to sources for information about Charles Wang's Lighthouse Project on Long Island.
With that, here are Five Reasons Blogger B.D. Gallof Loves Hockey:
1. The videogames.
I don't know about you, but I grew up during the Sega hockey age. Once the Isles dynasty crashed into a halt, many Isles fans were reduced to fixing Mike Milbury's god-awful trades and player development by playing Sega and then Playstation hockey. NHL and NHL2k have saved us fans from running off the cliffs as we watched talent leave for other teams and ridiculous ownership situations.
The Islanders weren't terrible then, but in NHL '93 the defense as so poorly graded in the stats, one was forced to play other teams. I used to play the St. Louis Blues for some good parity.
With Kelly Chase, Garth Butcher, and David Lowry, I could crush and pummel the competition, while scoring with Shanahan, Hull, Janney or my favorite speedster: Nelson Emerson.
My goalie? Cujo.
Loved it, and NHL video games ever since. No matter the trials, tribulations, or just hard realities of the real world, in the games we could forget the wreck on Long Island and play out our frustrations by launching Wayne Gretzky into the next zip code.
The victim here wasn't poor Wayne, but instead a cavalcade of Sega Genesis gamepads that got thrown across the room or spiked into the floor.
However, without these games (and broken joysticks), I'd have been left a crazed, gibbering mess, probably posting on a message board somewhere about yesteryear. Instead, I am a crazed lunatic of a hockey blogger. Thanks EA!
2. The Hockey Code:
Call it fighting. Call it justice. Call it tradition. Whatever it is, I believe in the system of honor that still beats in the hockey heart. Between two men and four meaty fists can be hammered out the differences of not just two players, but sometimes two entire teams.
If anything, the diluting of this with new NHL or with instigator rules has caused there to be an unbalance where we have seen a complete disregard of respect, health and even self with players. We have seen baffling, horrifying and just plain nut moves that have clipped seasons or even careers from players.
Also ... in that hockey code, there was also a balanced system of punishments given out by the NHL. Instead, that also has become an unmitigated mess and murk...with a complete turning off by fans to the NHL punishment system. What is worse, nobody has been able to effectively communicate or even prove there is a rhyme or reason to why one player skates free and the other sits 2 games.
The hockey code isn't just about fighting. It was the checks and balances that kept the NHL something beautiful and pure. The NHL meted out justice. There was far less words and excuses, or press releases. Instead it was done on the ice or handed out with a sense of ... this is what that deserved.
Maybe it is idealistically simplistic, but I recall a day of clearer standards and clearer heads ... pun, sadly, intended. Sportsmanship still has its place in the NHL and means something to me. It is one of the reasons I love hockey. I think we still are searching for these standards to come back to the game...and only then can it become something special again.
3. The Human Story
I'd sit in the press box, blog box or any other box and watch the home team eat a 7-0 drubbing. For me, when that happens, I cannot wait to head to the locker room to interview the players. It is when the PR, clichés and all else go out the window. Instead there are raw feelings and emotions. For me, as a blogger, I want to know how they are dealing with it ... how they will regroup ... how will they overcome the pressures and tough days?
No team just gets handed anything. Everyone goes through tough times, tough losses and needs to take a long hard stare in a mirror.
When the coach looking at one interviewer and wants to shoot out lasers, you get the true measure of what is going on. Or when the GM reportedly hurls a chair out from his box seat after a loss. Or when a player loses it, and launches a few well-placed curses, exasperated, unable to contain his frustrations on not just that game, but also the entire season ... this is what I want to see.
Don't give me the public relations. Those carefully crafted pieces and words that try to pretend that somehow players/coaches/GMs are invulnerable and impervious. This is a game and competition, and they feel just as the fans do. Fans want to see that and what are the underlying truths of what is going on ... not a charade or preset answers that admit nothing.
Nobody buys that. Sorry.
Many PR or media types simply do not get this. But whenever we see a story that peels away the shellac and veneer, they reverberate throughout the fandom, blogosphere or media. There is a reason that these things do. The human story is the only story worth writing about, and what people really want to read about.
It is my belief that the advent of PR in sports has also disconnected fans to the game. That it might be for protection or to keep things copasetic within the teams, but the side-effect is a disassociation between the fan and the organization because it isn't built on truth, honesty and transparency.
It is for this basic reason that I feel the injury policy of the NHL is a joke and misguided. It is done for selfish reasons for the team, but destroys that very notion between fans and the game. Sadly, the NHL doesn't quite see it that way. They see the end justifying the means.
I love the human and fallible element to this game. Whether it is in their failure or success, it is a transcendence of the game itself. It is THE story and why I love hockey.
4. Playoffs
Playoffs is what sucked me into hockey in the first place. I moved from upstate NY to Long Island in the middle of the Isles dynasty. The playoff, no matter where they landed in the standing during the season, is where the Islanders took it to teams.
What makes the Isles dynasty so great is that they won and played their best when it mattered. Even at the very end, it took the new Oilers dynasty to finally usurp the Isles from their 5th Stanley Cup. It took a legendary team with legendary players to remove them.
Since then, the NHL playoffs is where I am glued to the TV.
There is no better hockey than playoff hockey. No better passes than playoff passes. No better goals than playoff goals. No better overtime than playoff overtime.
Doesn't matter if it's my team (and it hasn't for quite a while), or another. I live to watch playoff hockey. There is no better thing to watch on the live or on TV on the planet.
5. Hockey Blogosphere
What I love about hockey, and this has only happened in the last decade, is the complete fan and NHL embrace of the new media. Lines between teams, press, and fans have blurred. In that space in-between has become a hotbed of discussion, interaction, humor and passion.
Whether you read Puck Daddy, myself on Hockey Independent, or just post on a team or sports message board ... all are a new level of interaction for all.
Most of all, we all get something from it. We become closer to the sport, or the sport closer to the fan. The blogosphere has become a life unto itself, with those taking part talking about the sport much more than with friends at a bar or with conversation at the dinner table.
This has become a symbiotic relationship for the sport and fan, which for many of us, is rewarding. Of course, my other rewards is a puck and a Versus hat from this site, but that's another story...
Fact is, the blogosphere has become a creative space for collaboration, conversation or at least a good Gary Bettman picture.
Here is the true 3rd dimension of hockey. It wasn't just introduced in the NY Rangers 5-0 thumping of the Islanders earlier this week. The blogosphere, you, me ... we have all created the depth, nuance, laugh of vent of anger for many a fan, team or even NHL Commissioner.
The fans, this sport, and many of the media's embrace of it is unique for most sports. Once again, it is why I love hockey. In fact, for me it has surpassed even my love of playoff hockey. It is why I do what I do, even with a demanding full time job, wife and kid ...
I love this sport.

Tyler Neylon Creator on January 17, 2013
Thanks - I'm glad to see many people already signed up at pivitgame.com and interested in what happens next.
I'm hoping a better price will ultimately be seen as a win for everybody (except for a time delay).
Greysoul Studio on January 17, 2013
Shame dude. Was looking forward to this Kickstarter succeeding. Signed on for the updates! Keep at it!
duchamp on January 17, 2013
I already signed on your website. Looking forward to see this game become a reality. It is just a matter of time.
Heads up!
Tyler Neylon Creator on January 16, 2013
Hi Chris. You never know. We just may be able to get $40,000 in 20 hours.
No, just kidding, we're hosed.
Tomorrow, when the campaign ends, I'll send out an update about the future of Pivit. This campaign may fail, but I am not giving up on the game, and I want to give everyone a chance to see what we do next. And what's next is all about a lower price point -- although I haven't figured out the details yet.
Stay tuned for one more day, and check out tomorrow's update.
Chris Mortika on January 16, 2013
I agree with Zachary. I don't know if you guys will make this; if not, I hope you set a lower target and try again. This game needs to be made.
Tyler Neylon Creator on January 8, 2013
Our current plan is to use chipboard. This is a more environmentally-friendly version of wood since most chipboard is recycled material. Many Eurogames use a board made from this material. For example, I believe the board for Game of Thrones (2nd Ed.) is chipboard, as well as the player boards in Agricola. It will be covered with another material on which the board pattern is printed.
Yong-SooSuperbackeron January 8, 2013
What is the board made out of? Will it be traditional card board?
Tyler Neylon Creator on January 3, 2013
Thanks, Zachary! We really want this game to exist, too. For now, the easiest way for that to happen is this campaign. No matter what, I'd also really like to see it published!
Zachary Williams on January 3, 2013
I'm rooting for you guys! I hope you have a backup plan for getting this thing published even if the Kickstarter fails, because I want a copy.
marguerite cottrellSuperbackeron December 25, 2012
thanks so much!! i'll be checking back :D
Tyler Neylon Creator on December 24, 2012
That's a very cool idea, Marguerite! A good game box/board is expensive, so shipping pieces only would definitely be cheaper, as you suggest.
I'll talk to the team about this, and I'm personally very interested to see if we can offer something like it.
marguerite cottrellSuperbackeron December 24, 2012
hi Tyler!! you have a very interesting game cooked up here. I'd really love to encourage you to insert a pledge level that would net backers just the game pieces (around 25-30 bucks). most of us have chess boards around the house(or lots of them) and would love to support your efforts here!
Mathieu BoisvertSuperbackeron December 24, 2012
Have a merry Christmas and great holydays !! :)
Family is afterall paramount in our lives. They are our rampart against many and most hardships !
Have a Great time and take care of your precious ones and yourself :)
Tyler Neylon Creator on December 24, 2012
You're right, Math. I will work on adding Pivit stuff to BGG. I might be slow to get things done today and tomorrow, though, as I'm spending time with family over the holidays.
Mathieu BoisvertSuperbackeron December 23, 2012
Hi Tyler, If you do not yet knoe of Board Game Geek, this is a HUGE gameboard Fan Base, this site ought to supply you with plenty of exposure and people to read/review and event playtest your little project here :), Of course, I am biased.... thisi only my favorite boardgame reference :),
Tyler Neylon Creator on December 23, 2012
Thanks, Mathieu!
Yea, the 4-player version is kind of a surprise. To play it, you think like traditional abstract games -- looking ahead at many branches, looking for patterns, looking for paths to corners, number of defenders of a certain square, or figuring out which squares are most valuable.
But on top of all that, there are suddenly hidden alliances or revenge stories added to the plot. Blue killed red's master two turns ago, and you are green. Maybe this turn you can count on red to attack blue instead of you? Sometimes watching a game unfold is like reading a good book to see what happens next - so much can change in one round.
Haha, of course I am completely biased. I am trying to get ways for other people to review this game so future contributors have more info to understand what the game is like.
Mathieu BoisvertSuperbackeron December 21, 2012
This looks like it will be a great highilight in my game library. It lloks like it really scales with players tastes and commitment !! Really, an abstract for 4 THAT is INSANE and Marvelous !
Math !
Tyler Neylon Creator on December 20, 2012
Hi Krissa,
A simplified answer is between 30 to 90 minutes, but it really depends on the mood of the players. With four players, or with the 6x6 board, it's easy to play for fun and move quickly. With competitive, thoughtful 2 player games on the 8x8 board, a game can be 90 minutes with each player carefully considering their moves.
- Tyler
Krissa on December 20, 2012
How long does a typical game last?
Tyler Neylon Creator on December 19, 2012
I saw that! Thanks, Kickstarter staff!
Tina TiptonSuperbackeron December 18, 2012
Did anyone else notice that when you click on Discover great projects at the top of the page- Pivit is shown on the first page of Staff Picks???? How cool is that????
This game looks terrific.

Floor rugs and carpets are the common products which add up to the aesthetic designs of a house or business place. These are generally bought from physical and online stores but can also be ordered from rug craftsmen. Floor rug and carpet making has two types. The first is the traditional while the other is the modern type. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages but all produce the kinds of products which contribute in making a property's interior design and overall aesthetic appeal better. It is imperative for people to know these ways as these are factors in choosing which rug and carpet products are of high quality.
Traditional Techniques
The traditional ways of making area rugs and carpets include but are not limited to the following:
- · Braiding
This refers to the twisting and bonding of two to three lines of fabric. Raw edges are tucked at the center and bided jointly.
- · Hooking
This is a process which makes use of a hook and a woven base fabric.
- · Needlepunching or Speed Hooking
This is similar to hooking but is faster as a frame is used instead of a base fabric. In this case, the product created is fixed and easy to work on.
Modern Techniques
The common modern processes of making rugs and carpets as floor coverings are the following:
- · Machine Spinning
This makes use of spinning machine which is quicker than the manual twisting and bonding.
- · Machine Tufting
This is an innovative way of clumping threads and fibers to have strong links.
- · Heating
With the use of heating equipment, the raw edges of fabric are exposed to heat until melted and bonded with each loose end.
The traditional and modern ways of making rugs and carpets are points which help people to select their preferred rug and carpet products. It is imperative to buyers to ask the sellers of rugs and carpets of what process did their offered products have gone through.

text: I taught myself how to sew when I was 8. By that I mean I asked my mom how to thread the machine, and through lots of trial and error eventually figured out how to use it to make barbie cloths out of the ends of my pants that mom cut off when I got too tall. I didn't learn to hand stitch till home ec. in middle school. Now I teach hand stitching to 3rd graders.... because I think that is the right age to learn sewing. At the begining of the lesson they always ask, where do you keep the machines all year? I laugh and tell them that the only thing they need a teacher for on the machine is to learn how to thread it. Maybe I'm being cocky. If you think I am, and want to learn how to sew head on over to Tilly and the Buttons who is doing a tutorial series about sewing using a machine. and yes the first lesson is how to set the machine up. So if your like me, just read that one. I'll be reading the whole thing. You never know, there might be gaps (likely) in my informal sewing education.

One of the ways you can preserve homemade pet food is by canning it. While the resulting jar of food will be cooked and no longer raw it is still FAR healthier than it's store bought counter parts. Homemade pet food lacks many of the unhealthy additives and preservatives that most commercial pet food contains. Canned it should be good nutrient wise for at least 10 years if not longer if stored in a cool dark area. So it's not going to go bad anytime soon.

The only significant drawback to canning pet food is that the canning recipes have not been scientifically tested for safety, so there is a greater margin of risk. I personally have never made or home canned cat food so I am of no help on the safety of doing this - however i do know that an acceptable alternative would be canned tuna mixed with some cooked rice. Canning pet food is an option I would only recommend to someone who has had experience with canning and knows how to mitigate the risks involved with using an untested canning recipe. The running estimate for the self-life of home canned pet food is 10 years.

Another "homemade" option is just to stock extra amounts of the ingredients used to make their food (like I just mentioned with the canned tuna and rice.)

To address some of your other questions: How much water should I stock. Get out your calculator!

Cats need about a cup of water (8 fluid ounces) per 8 to 10 pounds of body weight. If your cat eats only dry food, you need to be watchful of his fluid intake because his only source of liquid is the water bowl. (Cats who eat canned food get some liquid from their moist meals.)

Precisely how much water a dog needs each day varies based on a number of individual factors, including age, activity level, overall health, medical conditions and how hot it is outside. As a basic rule of thumb, though, a healthy dog should drink at least 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight every day. So, a 15-pound dog should consume at least 15 ounces -- or just under 2 cups -- of water daily. Ask your vet for a personalized recommendation about how much your dog should be taking in.

As with people you may find it impossible to stock enough water for your pets for a year - so I encourage people to set up a water collection and purify system at home. So in an emergency if the water is no longer running you can collect more and purify it so it is safe for EVERYONE to drink.Stephanie Daylehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051609727272394086.post-5575146184207657372014-07-29T22:29:48.291-07:002014-07-29T22:29:48.291-07:00Hi, i have a few questions regarding the pet food ...Hi, i have a few questions regarding the pet food area. I have several cats and a dog and I was wondering how to store their food. I understand about the can food but is there a way i can make it myself? I read that canning cat food is not good for it looses its nutrents that they need to survive. Also storing the dry food in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers isnt wise either. However i was wondering could i use the food saver and use it on some dry food would that keep it longer? Also how much water would i need to stock up for them? As you can tell im new to this whole prepping thing and i have found ur site very helpful.. Your the only one i have found that has mentioned things about stocking up for pets :)Christin Woodyhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051609727272394086.post-1419223004330172802014-01-20T09:10:18.122-08:002014-01-20T09:10:18.122-08:00Thanks for the comment!Thanks for the comment!Stephanie Daylehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051609727272394086.post-16885769990379274372014-01-18T19:38:29.660-08:002014-01-18T19:38:29.660-08:00This was a great read!!

"...I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind."
Yes, the immortal words of the Pet Shop Boys (not originally, I know) apply to the blog. It was on my mind to update, but I never took the time. I'm jumpstarting it once again, and promising daily updates Monday through Friday for the rest of April. I hope that making it a habit for a month will engender the habit longer-term, but we'll see. It can't hurt!
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

"Little things I should have said and done..."

Danger Mouse's project, The Grey Album, created quite a stir within the media industry because of our eschewed understanding and enforcement of copyright laws. The issues mainly revolved around the conflict of whether or not the album should have been protected under artistic expression or removed for stealing another group's copyrighted material. I am going to take a stand from the start arguing that the album should be protected for many reasons, however, none more salient than the very nature of the postmodern landscape which we all inhabit.
Scholars for years have been discussing the implications of living in a postmodern society dominated by the image in which all we have to base ourselves and the world around us on are the images or experiences already in circulation. Fredrick Jameson's nomenclature of the "pastiche" on creative materials follows the logic of the collage wherein nothing is entirely original because what we create is inherently borrowed from or influenced by some other source and consequently expanded upon; therefore, the only way to truly create something "new" is by way of pastiche. If this is truly the case in our society (I believe it is), then copyright laws, as they are exercised in today's music industry, act to suppress the only form of creativity left in the world. (Click here for a brief explanation of Jameson's pastiche)
I realize this claim is a bit extreme and I understand how copyright laws help to ensure an artist's property rights, however, the way the record labels in the Danger Mouse case reacted do not reflect the artist's best interest but their own. Even though the DJ took Jay Z and The Beatle's music the project should not have been suppressed but rather used economically to gain revenues and consequently used as remuneration for all the artists that have contributed. In that case we could foster creativity while still maintaining copyright law/intellectual property for the right reason.
Let me give an example of why copyright law is becoming too harshly enforced. This is a link to the video of the "Four Chord Song" in which many of the popular songs from different eras used the exact same chord progression! Following the logic of the music industry and copyright law, Elton John's "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" stole from Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" and should be removed all public forums—what a loss for The Lion King. In conclusion all I know is that the music industry doesn't feel the love tonight, and that I have stopped believing in copyright laws.
ps. Speaking of The Lion King, remember Hamlet? I think there are some similarities there too... See what I mean. Mickey Mouse is a criminal too. Nothing is entirely original! It's all a conspiracy! AHHHHHHHH!!!

That led to unfortunate sequences where he would interrupt some nuanced, evocative moment onscreen to yell into my right ear, for example, "WHY ARE THEY PUNCHING HER?" (I know he thought he was whispering, God love 'im.)
I would try to explain, as succinctly as possible, something like, "THEY DON'T WANT HER THERE," (which, admittedly, probably wasn't that helpful).
I thought he would like it, not because it's a Sundance indie-darling, but because I thought he'd find the depiction the unrelenting poverty and meth-deviled Ozarks to be eerily reminiscent of what's become of my hometown, where he now lives. (Now, as to why I thought that would entertain him, I'm not sure.)
I like dark movies, although over the years, I've developed patience for the fact that not everyone enjoys them as much as I do. I learned that the hard way the time I took an entire row of movie-lovers to see Bad Lieutenant -- and they didn't all leave the theater as movie-lovers. Granted, we all could've done with seeing a little less of Harvey Keitel naked, but beyond that, the reviews were decidedly mixed. Or as Linda put it, "whyyyyyyyyy.... why would someone make that movie?! And whyyyyyy did you make us watch it? Bad lieutenant. Bad! Bad!"
I usually pre-screen a lot of movies for her now and I told her under no circumstances was she to see Winter's Bone. But somehow, the good reviews got the best of her curiosity I guess and she went anyway. This was her text:
"I saw that GREAT movie (your words), and found it dark and haunting (as you said) -- No redeeming value that I could find. Poor girl goes from a barely tolerable situation to worse and then back to bad (funny how back to bad was such a relief!" )
My response was, "I. Told. You. So."
But I have to admit, she has a pretty good future ahead of her as a movie critic, as that's as good a review as I've seen of both the plot and the main character.

16 thoughts on "Federated SignIn Requires Federated SignOut"
I am facing some issue here. I am using FederatedPassiveSignInStatus control. Signout works locally well. Once I deploy my RP and RP-STS on cloud user does not get loggedout. and after clicking the user come back to same RP page and remains logged in. Where should the code that you have given go? on IP-STS or on RP?
I am facing some issue here. I am using FederatedPassiveSignInStatus control.
I am using this code on signout event of control
if (sessionAuthenticationModule != null)
WSFederationAuthenticationModule authModule = FederatedAuthentication.WSFederationAuthenticationModule;
if (authModule != null)
string signoutUrl = (WSFederationAuthenticationModule.GetFederationPassiveSignOutUrl(authModule.Issuer, authModule.Realm, null));
WSFederationAuthenticationModule.FederatedSignOut(new Uri(signoutUrl), new Uri(authModule.Realm));
Still I am getting claims after sign out
I am using FederatedSignOut and am running into a very wierd error. Depending on how I deploy my token provider, I sometimes get an "Thread was being aborted" error from FederatedSignOut. I am not doing anything fancy and am totally puzzled. Has anyone else encountered this problem and what was the resolution?
(This is the LAST bug before a project ships so I'm getting rather desperate).
Thank you for your help,
I am having a different issue while deployed the above code
it successfully logged out from the federated authentication, but it lands on an error page.
the page's heading is 'Federation Error '
error message is below,
Oops…an error occurred
Reference Number: a95c9f09-376a-4233-b985-e3502f67d108
Application Id:
Launch an Internet Explorer InPrivate session (Ctrl+Shift+P) and retry.
If issue persists, click here to report this error.
Learn more about InPrivate Browsing
If run into another issue related to federated sign out and shared browser session described below.
Using WIF, WCF within a Silverlight client accessing backend WCF services. The application sign out uses Federation Authentication Module SignOut method which in turn calls Session Authentication Module (SAM) DeleteSessionTokenCookie for the local RP (Relying Party) sign out. A sign out to the the IP (Issuing Party) is subsequently called. All of this functions as expected.
I have come across the following multiple browser scenario relating to shared session that results in a "remote server returned an error not found" issue. If IE's "New Session" is used this is not an issue.
1.Use IE shortcut to open a browser instance 1, navigate to application and login.
2.Use IE shortcut to open a browser instance 2, navigate to application and login.
3.Log out of application in browser instance 2.
4.Perform any operation that requires communication to the server. e.g. Log out of application browser instance 1.
Result: "remote server returned an error not found" exception
Is it possible to detect that the WIF token has been deleted prior to making a WCF call in browser instance 1 and so notify the user. The IdentityModelServiceAuthorizationManager.CheckAccessCore (OperationContext) method is being used to verify service access (authorization) prior to making any WCF service calls. Would it be possible to access and evaluate session token related information at this time? Or is there another approach that can be used?
Hi Roberto,
Wondering if you have any idea to setup a home page on RP i.e. I want the user to land on home.aspx when they visit the site very first time.
On the home page there is a "Login" link which if the user clicks takes them to my STS site (this is all set).
It's just that when I launch my RP site it directly takes to STS Login page instead of my home.aspx.
Any thoughts?
Thanks you for prompt reply. I have this in my location allow users="*" for my page in web.config. Do you mean that?
Or can you explain how to do this "add your home.aspx as an exception to WIF validation "?
Yep, that's exactly I had.I changed my search terms after reading your first response and found this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/Geneva/thread/71806907-393f-4782-9c30-971be94a2b62/
Though really weird reason, I just implemented it and my initial tests shows it's working.
I still believe just location allow="*" should have worked instead of removing deny="?" as mentioned in the link.
Thank you so much for your prompt attention.
Hi, if someone found a solution to the "The second catch" please provide an answer here :
Im using WSFederationAuthenticationModule.FederatedSignOut it signs me out of my application takes me back to my 3rd party STS but the 3rd party STS keep's me logged in

I am feeling a bit like a heathen.
We celebrate Halloween.
I decorate the house, dress up my son and revel in the festivities.
I never knew it was such an evil thing. As a child, my family always celebrated Halloween. Picking out a costume was almost as important as school supply shopping. I trick or treated, ate too much candy and had a wonderful time.
As a Christian mommy, I'm learning all these things are bad. I didn't know Halloween was so controversial. I was raised in a Christian home where we went to church every week, said or prayers and didn't watch TV shows with questionable morals (I still feel guilty watching Roseanne or The Simpsons). How did we miss the Halloween is evil message?
I was talking to some other mommies and was completely shocked at how they don't want their children to partake in such a demonic activity. Demonic? I thought it was a chance to be silly. When else is every little boy going to live out his dream of being a baseball player and little girl be a princess? I guess I always experienced fun and happy Halloween not the creepy kind.
I know choosing my friends now is just as important as when I was 14. It's hard for me to find other mommies trying to strike that same balance. There are the very conservative mommies who are typically a little too conservative for me. And, there are those that really have no interest in church-like things.
Is there a mommy like me somewhere in that mess? I want to celebrate Halloween and still go to church on Sunday. Is that possible?
Feeling like a pagan

Tigger's new obsession
Well I am starting to realize Tigger is in love my new laptop screen he has stared at it everytime i've logged on. If I didn't know better I would wonder if he was being hypnotized. He does alot of strange things, walking sideways, sleeping in the sink, playing in his water bowl, watching my husbands full FIFA Soccer game without moving, hiding in empty beer boxes. But most recently he has been sitting on the toilet unraveling the entire roll of toilet paper, until it is all on the floor. Its a good thing I love him.

"Balanced Investing" Is a Fallacy You MUST Avoid if You Want to Enjoy a Comfortable Retirement
Sometime during the latter part of 2009, I came across an article on the CBS Money Watch wddebsite, authored by Charlie Farrell: Top Three Financial Moves Before 2010. In my opinion, one of the moves the author refers to as "Balance Your Investments" is completely out of touch with reality for most investors. It may well be that I am a bit slow, and therefore missing something. Let's see what you think.
According to the article:
One of the best things you can do to help protect and grow your retirement savings is to implement a balanced investment strategy. And by balanced I mean a basic split between diversified stocks, which carry more risk, and high-quality bonds, which carry much less risk. The reason so many people lost so much money in this recent crisis is because they weren't balanced. It's such a basic strategy, but very few people follow it.
With all due respect, Mr. Farrell doesn't seem to understand that most investors (at least those I meet and hear from on an almost daily basis) are sick and tired of the same old vague talk. See, while there are investors who are out there doing their own thing, so to speak, a large number of Americans have advisors, consultants, pros, experts, and whatnots who are designing and managing their portfolios. These so-called pros tell investors exactly what to buy and what not to buy, and yet most of their investors are still suffering the losses they experienced in the market freefall of 2008. So if balanced investing is, as the author claims, really "such a basic strategy," is it fair for me to conclude that these gurus don't know what the heck they are doing?
Not to mention that investors read columns like the one penned by Mr. Farrell and others "who know what to do" in order to avoid going broke with their investments. Yet, these investors continue to get nowhere with their portfolios – some lost unimaginable portions of their life savings. So, please, maybe we just need a break from this kind of advice.
Then, in the follow-up paragraph, the article points out:
Consider that in 2008, the S&P 500 was down about 37 percent and the Barclay's Aggregate Bond Index, which measures the return of the total bond market, was up about 5 percent. So if you had split your money between these two very basic asset classes, you'd have been down about 16 percent, which was pretty manageable. And by now, your total portfolio would probably be down less than 10%, given the recent recovery we've had in stock prices.
If Monday morning quarterbacking were a paid profession, wouldn't some folks be multizillionaires already? I, for one, am glad it's not. Here's what I don't understand: Why would any investor want to lose even 1 percent of their hard-earned dollars when they don't have to? Do folks like this author even realize that there is a proven strategy that kept certain investors from losing anything in 2008, yet as the market improves they stand to make money up to their contracted caps? Not one of our clients here at Laser Financial Group lost even a penny during the recent market downturn.
As I have said several times in the past, some people simply don't know what they don't know, and that is a very dangerous position to be in because you literally become vulnerable to all sorts of, frankly, toxic advice –just like this bit from Mr. Farrell.
Call Laser Financial Group at 301.949.4449 or visit us on the Web to schedule your complimentary consultation and explore the best options and strategies to preserve ALL of your retirement investments.

Antec ISK110 VESA Mini-ITX Desktop ReviewA Closer Look - Outside »
Antec ships the ISK110 VESA in a simple, brown cardboard box. A drawn image on the top shows you what the chassis looks like, while the table on the side lets you know simple things like quantity, weight, and dimensions of the chassis. It would have been nice to have a slightly more informative package, especially since ITX enclosures are generally not as clear cut as traditional ATX variants in terms of compatibility.
You will receive a bag of screws and two strips of insulating tape, so you don't need to worry about shorting the hard drives on the metal frame. There is also the ATX cable tree that comes with a single Molex, a P4 CPU plug, two SATA and a 24 pin ATX connector. A manual has also been included to help you during the assembly process.
Antec also ships a base unit for use on your desk along with a metal VESA 100 mount. This allows you to attach the ISK110 VESA to the back of a monitor, which is one of the major additions to the ISK 100.
The chassis also includes a converter within the case itself, but the power brick that supplies the juice is nothing out of the ordinary. It is neither too big nor incredibly small and can deliver up to 90W, which should be enough, even if you use the most powerful components possible. Antec also includes a UK and Euro 8 plug for use with the external unit.

aah, sitting in my chair....
Questions....first Tereza: What do I do when I first get up in the morning. Well, I always get dressed. 99% of the time. I sleep in my jammies, I don't like living in them. I put my long tangly hair up in a clip (when I brush it, the kids think we're going bye-bye). On school mornings, I make them breakfast, make my coffee, get them ready, then blog. On non-school mornings, I usually at least check my mail, and usually write a post. A few years back, before I was addicted to computer time, I always cleaned up the kitchen first thing, and tried to do as much work as possible before the baby/toddler/both woke up. Sometimes I still do that if I am behind. Then the questions about how Paul enjoys the signs of "life"....ha. He is pretty easy-going, but honestly, I think everyone gets a bit frustrated when or if it is messy and chaotic all the time. I try to keep things here at a level that both he and I can live with. Which isn't saying much. I would like it cleaner and more organized, so would he, but.....as for the kids fooling around and going crazy, we both can stand that for only so long, and we stop them. Let's see, I try not to nag Paul too much about things that need to be done around here. He is very responsible and quick to take care of things, but he is not overly concerned with the more "surface" things, or things just for looks, like the molding in the foyer...we have lived here for almost 18 years now....and the new window he installed....still isn't trimmed....if it functions, and doesn't look too bad, he's okay with it. So I try to be more like that too. For us, it just hasn't been possible to live in a perfect house with all these kids.
Well....I do not know very much about the Duggar family. I HAVE however, viewed photos of their home, and I love their laundry room...4 washers, 4 dryers. Their house is so nice and roomy and huge and spacious. I would have no trials at all if I had a house like that. ha. Seriously though, I haven't even watched their show because we don't have cable. I did see them once on a morning t.v. show, and I thought Michelle was sweet, sincere, and kind. I have read a few articles on their family, the way the older ones help the younger ones, and they all have responsibilities. When people find out how many kids I have, the most common comment is: Well, the older ones must help you out!!! or different variations of that. Which is partly true, partly hilarious. My older kids are pretty busy, mostly with church activities, but also with college and jobs and volunteer work. And homework. They do help me when they are here though. But older kids come with different trials. 5 of mine have driver's licenses now, and one a learner's permit. GREY hair, that is grey hair. But when I read that baby Josie was born so early, I felt so bad for the whole family, as I could just imagine how difficult it would be for us, to have such a tiny infant struggling to live.
When do I step in, and when do I let them duke it out...hmm. When it is persistent, I make them sit in a chair for a bit. We don't actually have very many punishments, but when they are mean, I try to make them feel bad for it, and I am constantly encouraging them to be nice and forgiving. If they are really rough, or hit each other, I will make them sit for a while. When they are ready to apologize, they can get up. I have to be consistent, though. If I am too lazy to enforce what I have said, they won't believe me. I try to think before I threaten, to make sure it is something I will really do if they continue doing whatever it is they are doing.....I just don't like putting too much emphasis on bad behaviour. In the "Little House" books, Ma would say, "Least said, soonest mended..." Screaming fits are interesting. Camille likes to have two or three a day these days...one thing I like to do when she is crying and screaming, "NO, NO!!", is to ask her if she can please say NO for Mommy. She screams, "NO!", and I say, "good girl!"...we keep doing that and she is so clever, she starts saying, "unh-uh,", and every other sound that means NO. Kids have tantrums, some more than others. Hopefully most of them are at home, but even if they do it in the store, oh well...people stare. And act like maybe their kids would never do such a thing...or perhaps they give an encouraging smile. Anyway, tantrums are just their way of expressing frustration, and they would be more frustrated if mommy gave them their way all the time.
Showering....well, I just take them before bed. I cannot go to bed without a shower first. Even when we are camping. I don't always like to wash my hair in the shower, then go to bed, especially in winter, so sometimes I wash my long tangly hair in the kitchen sink. But there have been times and seasons when it was seemingly impossible just to use the bathroom. Honestly, now that Camille is two, my life seems easy and leisurely. Those days with a newborn - well- I remember, but it is much different now. I remember how I would put the baby down, and have to decide...hmm. Change the toddler, eat something, go to the bathroom, wash a few dishes....hmm. It was always the mental prioritizing, and sometimes I would figure out what I was going to do when I got the baby down, and then baby would have other ideas....and I would just have to give up trying to do anything....how did I survive? How do any mothers survive, with newborns and other kids? It just plain seems impossible. But for some reason, I would do it again in a heartbeat, given the chance. I would LOVE another baby.
Well, this has taken such a long time because I have put Camille to bed, put Charlotte Claire to bed, prayed with Jon, Sonja, and Suzanne, brushed Rosie, read a story, (Princess Baby, Martha).....now I just need to put it away....for good for the night....

I love hearing your stories of your family. :) You would love the Duggar's book 20 and Counting. It's so cheap to buy on Amazon. I have six kids but I love to follow them. Her ideas with the kids are really neat. I'm not even half the women she is but goodness gracious, I keep trying to work hard and do better every day. :)

I don't comment nearly enough but I read every word you write. Thanks for answering these questions. It is so fun, inspiring, interesting to read how you handle and thrive with all your babies. And I do think that even though your oldest is 25, she is still your baby :-)

Thank you for letting me know what story you read. That's important information. :)
Emma and Bella each get to pick a book to read before nap time and I find it amusing how they will pick the same ones over and over. Before Christmas I read the Grinch at least 3 or 4 times. I guess we all have favorites.
I take my showers in the morning as it helps me feel more awake and ready for the day, but sometimes I don't quite make it out of bed in time to hop in before Emma arrives. On those days I take a shower before hopping into bed at night.
I have not ever seen the Duggar's on TV either. Our TV is not working as we never "converted".

Our favourite salsa, especially when made with vine-ripened tomatoes. The fresh lime flavour always reminds me of all the fun times we've had in Mexico.
1/2 sweet white onion, finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro
1 tbsp finely minced jalapeno pepper
juice of one lime
pinch of coarse salt
Combine all ingredients and allow flavours to blend. Serve with taco chips or with Halibut Tacos.

Either way I would love to have these to hang on the wall. I could use them as trays if I needed, or they could be decoration.
These are the glasses that I LOVE. I would like to update my drinkware, and my flatware. I love the bubble glasses.
Ok.....my vote is for the yellow sunflower set with the square plate. I have square dishes and I love them, but they are just plain old boring white!! Oh well.....I still love them!
You may love the sunflower now, but your taste may change. I can say this since my china has daisies on it. You totally need to get the brown ones and the clear bubble glasses. That would all go so well with your new kitchen.
I love the sunflowers - with the yellowish background - not the burnt orange ones. However, I like options. I think it would be beautiful to do half and half. I think the green and the sunflowers together would be cool if the greens were closer. I can imagine a green dinner plate with a sunflower salad plate or bowl on the side. Keeping that in mind, I think that the bubble glasses are cool because I like the colored ones but I suggest buying some clear and maybe even some green ones too. I like the wall hangings - but I have seem some others that have come to mind: Live Laugh Love. Also maybe a sunflower brown iron wall decor would be cool. I also think it would be need to get each of your children to give their version of a sunflower (using paint you provide ofcourse that matches your colors) - you can even do it all on one canvas or do it on other small ones. I would have a ball!!
I like the square sunflower plates they are beautiful and I've never seen them before.
Yes, I am for the sunflowers also. Get what you want! It's your kitchen and you do the cookin'! You might as well have plates that make you happy. Mine are very loud black and white checkered. I love them!

The Palestinian American Community Center of Charlotte is hosting a peaceful protest Saturday, October 24 from 12:00 pm to 3:00. We will be meeting at Romare Bearden Park, located at 300 S. Church Street, at 11 am and marching to the corner of Trade and Tryon at 11:45 am.
The Holy Land is in a tragic state. Per Al Jazeera, as of October 20th, 45 innocent lives have been taken from us. Videos on social media sites have emerged of young children shot and left to bleed to death in the streets of Jerusalem, while settlers heckle them and wish death upon them. There has also been visual evidence of Israeli Settlers and Soldiers 'planting' knives at the scene of these 'alleged attacks.' These heinous acts must come to an end!
The media must report a fair and unbiased presentation of what is happening in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza. They are claiming that this is all due to the tensions that arose from the Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound, forgetting to mention the root of all that has occurred; the illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. It is stated under international law, signed at the fourth Geneva Convention, that occupied people have to right to resist against their oppressor. The people of Palestine, Christians and Muslims alike, are standing together for their freedom.
The media has covered this horrific event as though the Palestinian people and the Israeli government are equals in this conflict. This distortion of the truth undermines any real efforts to bring an end to this violence. Israel is a nuclear power capable country that has a history of indiscriminately killing Palestinians and targeting innocent civilians. They are not equal by any stretch of the imagination.
We are calling on you to join us in this peaceful protest to show that a community can stand as one to support those that are oppressed. We hope that you will help us bring awareness to the tragedy unfolding right before our very eyes. We believe that with honest and fair reporting you can help us bring awareness and a fair end to this conflict that is unbiased and just for the Palestinian people.
This is a crisis that needs to be publicized.
This is a crisis that needs to be publicized.

Regular price: $3.47
Mark Twain is undeniably a genius storyteller and he doesn't disappoint in this short story, "The Stolen White Elephant". When a special elephant intended for the queen disappears in New Jersey, nothing else goes well, either. Ivor Hugh has fun with Mark Twain's text. Hugh's performance is varied and exciting. In particular, Hugh incorporates many unique voices, bringing to life Twain's vivid characters, from the silliest to the most stoic. Hugh's energized performance makes listening to this audiobook feel very much like watching a play, acted out by a number of performers. A gifted audio actor, Hugh lends great expertise to Twain's tale.
In this hilarious spoof of the detective story, a team of detectives try unsuccessfully to capture an stolen white elephant. This dramatized version features a full cast of characters.

Today after running various errands on campus, I was on my way home loaded down with groceries when I noticed a throng of people crowded around a black limo. It was a pretty funny sight, and I wish I'd had my camera on me. Loads of people on both sides of the street were stopped, holding up pedestrian traffic with cameras and cell phones in the air taking photos.
As it turned out, it was Mike Tyson, whose appearance in Brighton has triggered some protests. Anyway, even though I'm in no way his biggest fan, it was funny to watch all the people going a bit nuts!

Yeah. Didn`t write for a day or two. 😛 My bad. I was enjoying myself and didn`t want to bother with this. So, I guess I`ll just try to give a quick summary of what I`ve been doing:
– Went to what my family told me was the most famous ramen shop in Okinawa. My host sister even works there. 😀 It was so yummy and there was a cute guy there~ Very niiiiice.
And sorry to say this, but I`m cutting this short. Can`t stand the whole window closing thing. @@ SO OBNOXIOUS.
I`ll try again later. Maybe at school tomorrow. Yes, I`m going to school tomorrow. Exciiiitiiiiing! o_o
Wish me luck!
