In this article, we will discuss in detail how to convert a normal Coded UI Test (CUIT) to Data Driven CUIT. CUIT is a new type of unit test introduced with Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate/Premium version. It provides functional testing for the user interface and the code gets created with the help of high level languages like C# or VB.NET.
If you are new to Coded UI Tests, make sure you read the following articles written for Visual Studio 2010.
Coded UI Test (CUIT) using Visual Studio 2010
Coded UI Test (CUIT) - Convert Manual Test Case to Code using Visual Studio 2010
Coded UI Test (CUIT) – Variations and Editing with Visual Studio 2010 and
Coded UI Test: Convert Normal CUIT to Data Driven CUIT using Visual Studio 2010.
Visual Studio 11 Beta can be downloaded from over here where all the SKUs (Ultimate, Premium, Professional or Test Professional) are available. Here is a snippet comparison between various SKUs and whether Coded UI Test support is available in them
The main difference while converting a normal CUIT to Data Driven CUIT with Visual Studio 11 is that there is no Data Source Wizard (which was available with Visual Studio 2010).
We will now create a normal CUIT and later convert it to Data Driven CUIT. For this we will use the example of a calculator and record addition of 2 numbers. We will use number keys to enter the numbers.
Follow these steps:
Step 1: Open Visual Studio 11 > File > New Project. A new project template for Coded UI Test project is available as shown
Step 2: As we are going to use the CUIT Builder, we will select the first radio button for creating a Coded UI Test (Record actions, edit UI map or add assertions)
Step 3: The CUIT Builder with a slightly changed look appears in the default position (right most bottom portion of the screen)
Step 4: Start Calculator
Step 5: Record addition of 2 numbers. Note: Do not use the mouse click to capture data as we do not get parameters with this action later
Following are the methods recorded.
We can also provide method description which will appear as a comment in the method
Step 6: With Visual Studio 11, we now have Unit Test Explorer which will show the available test methods. Run the test and verify that it gets executed without any error.
Step 7: Add a new item to the project. Provide NumData.xml as file name for the XML data file. Change the property for the file from Copy to Output Directory to "Copy if newer"
Step 8: We also need to provide the DataSource attribute to the method so as to specify the xml file as the data source. The parameters values can now to be taken from the data source as shown below
Step 9: Now run the test and we can observe that it passes for 2 records but fails for one.
Note: If you use a mouse click while entering numbers, no parameters will be automatically provided. This will also work only with single digit numbers.
In this article, we have seen how to convert normal Coded UI Test to Data Driven Coded UI Test using Visual Studio 11.

Gold Rush The scramble to claim and protect value in the digital world
With the press of a key or swipe of a card, the Internet of Things moves information from the physical to the digital world and back again. But how can the movement of information create value for a company?
On January 24, 1848, a gold nugget was discovered in the river that powered a lumber mill near Coloma, California. The property owner, John Sutter, tried to keep the news quiet, knowing his plans for developing an agricultural empire could be crushed by an onslaught of fortune hunters. He was right. Word got out almost immediately, and northern California would never be the same.
The Internet gold rush began 165 miles southwest of Sutter's Mill in Mountain View, where Netscape was formed and its browser opened the Internet to mainstream consumers. On August 9, 1995, the company launched a public offering that generated almost $2.9 billion.1 The previous year, Time magazine had predicted the Internet would not reach mainstream consumers: "It was not designed for doing commerce, and it does not gracefully accommodate new arrivals."2 Of course, with nearly 2 billion people using the Internet, the world today is forever changed.3
Like millions of consumers around the globe, you have probably purchased an item online, entered a social media site, or used an Internet browser to search for information. Each of your seemingly private acts was converted into bits of data that were recorded, sorted, aggregated and possibly sold. Your bits and bytes—along with uncountable others—are contributing to the explosion of information that is sometimes called "big data." In 2010, the digital universe of data reached 1.2 million petabytes; it's predicted to balloon to 35 zettabytes by 2020.4
Ten years ago, a gigabyte seemed like a lot of data to many people. It's a mere drop in the bucket in today's digital universe. In August 2010, former Google CEO and current Chairman Eric Schmidt provided the following perspective: "There was 5 exabytes (1018 bytes) of information created between the dawn of civilization through 2003, but that much information is now created every 2 days, and the pace is increasing."5
Buried beneath these billions of bytes is a gold mine of personal information about individuals' identities, lifestyles, preferences and behaviors. But unlike the goldfields of the 1850s, which were soon exhausted, these vast quantities of data are growing exponentially each year. With this growth comes opportunity and potential risk for consumers who supply the data, companies that collect it, and legislators and agencies who are taking steps toward regulating it. Consider the unheralded settlements and disclosures concerning some of the most respected technology companies in the world. Before events of the past year, most of these issues were primarily debated by academics, civil libertarians and rights organizations. Now they are discussed in boardrooms and courtrooms.
In technology we trust
Personal information stored in your home or office exists in the physical world. If a document is private—and you want it to stay that way—most likely you feed it through the shredder or store it under lock and key. In the U.S. and many other democratic societies, interactions in the physical world are governed by laws and regulations created by lawmakers to support cultural norms that place high value on personal privacy and property rights.
Winners and losers: The California Gold Rush (1848-1855)
The discovery of gold in 1848 triggered the migration of some 300,000 people to northern California – many from Latin America, Europe, Australia and China. At that time, California was not yet a state, and there was no legislative or judicial body for the region. In the absence of formal property rights, gold was free for the taking at the beginning of the rush. Disputes were resolved through negotiation, arbitration or, more often, violence.
The possibility of vast wealth spurred technology innovation, shifting power from individuals who panned the streams to mining companies who cut through the hillsides, diverting large amounts of gravel, silt and other pollutants into the rivers. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that 12 million ounces of gold were removed during the first five years of the gold rush (2011 estimated value: $18 billion).6 Some scholars believe that entrepreneurs who sold goods and services to the fortune-seekers profited more from the Gold Rush than did individual miners. The big losers were the local Native Americans who lost their way of life, with tens of thousands dying from disease, starvation or violence.
With the press of a key, touch of a screen or swipe of a credit card, personal information moves from the physical to the digital world, where expectations of ownership and the use of these data—particularly data (or a combination of data elements) that previously did not exist or that have not historically been recognized as having value—are not always well defined. Broadly speaking, there are limited parameters or precedents for how an organization can use the information it collects. What's more, this personal information is often irretrievable and can easily survive beyond an individual's life. The question of how we as business leaders and citizens treat the ownership and use of this expanding ocean of data generated by our personal and commercial activities is an important issue now and is likely to be increasingly center stage.
Moreover, it is unclear whether consumers understand how information generated from their activities is being used. Before using some online applications, users may be asked to click their approval of the company's terms and conditions. This is a ubiquitous facet of online life. But how many people actually read, much less understand, how they're allowing their personal information to be tracked? A Wall Street Journal investigation found that one free Internet radio application collected private data that was sent to eight specific data aggregation companies.7Businesses may be complying with current requirements, but as consumers collectively learn more about the detailed portraits of their lives becoming available it seems likely that the issues of data ownership, use and regulation will emerge as important considerations in shaping a company's information strategy.
How can an Internet company that's valued at $1.5 billion by traditional valuation metrics—discounted cash flow, profitability ratios and the like—possibly support a value of $10 billion?
The trend of individuals creating online personal data that can be readily used by companies seems inexorable, in some measure because so many people are hungry for "Free." Software and Web-based companies were among the first to tap this almost insatiable appetite.8 Convenient online shopping, helpful free applications and social connections, combined with the proliferation of personal digital devices, have given rise to a new breed of constantly connected consumers who expect an "anytime, anywhere, any way" experience. In 2011, approximately 9 percent of mobile phone users worldwide have smartphones that allow easy Internet connections. In the United States and western Europe, 90 percent of mobile phones are Internet-ready.9 It's easy for any connected consumer to check pricing and availability from competing companies, search for product reviews and solicit recommendations from online peers. The Internet is more pervasive each day and a part of almost everything we do – a remarkable 41.7 percent of all global Internet users visit Facebook daily.10
Meanwhile, innovative marketing companies are developing and implementing strategies that aim to collect individual consumers' personal information, including real time GPS location data and past buying behaviors to suggest other items an individual may be interested in purchasing – right at the moment he or she is most likely to want or need the item. A website suggests a car seat to go with the crib you just purchased. The browser guesses the right search term from only a few keystrokes. You find yourself reconnecting with your best friend from high school.
On the whole, this is good news – relevant product and service information is more effective than random product messages. But the potentially all-knowing capabilities of companies and organizations that collect data also raise questions. What are an individual's privacy rights given the particular and dynamic dimensions of the digital world: the amount of data, the real time processing of and actions taken based on the data? Should there be limits as to how data can be collected or used? Important questions follow: Who owns the data? Who should benefit from the value it generates? How can personal information be reclaimed by the individual once it's dispersed?
How these questions will be answered requires further debate. But as the universe of personal data and the possibilities for its profitable use become a topic for public discussion, the implications for emerging business models—and the value of anticipating the direction of social sentiment and potential regulation—loom large.
Big data or big brother?
Among those of us old enough to remember what a modem sounded like when it welcomed you to the Internet with its signature tortured screech, few had the vision to imagine the vast wealth that's being generated from the collection and aggregation of personal data or the massive land grab for personal information now underway.
A growing number of companies have created business models built on buying, collecting and aggregating huge amounts of personal data that they can sell to other companies. Many other companies mine their own databases for insights into their customers' behaviors, with the goal of increasing sales, improving retention or driving innovation. For some companies, these databases may well be their most valuable asset.
Organizations that collect and analyze individuals' information and their behaviors fall into two categories: open aggregators and closed aggregators. In the open model, much of the information collected is publicly available at no charge to the user. Social media sites, Internet browsers and other open aggregators typically monetize their wealth of data through ad sales. Organizations with closed operating models collect data to create competitive advantage. An online retailer may track a consumer's book purchases as well as those the individual has browsed. In turn, this information can be used to recommend other books to you, with the goal of increasing sales.
Today, aggregators hold most of the cards when it comes to capturing the value of personal data. But that could change with the stroke of a legislator's pen. Or with the click of a hacker's mouse. If consumers lose trust in a company's brand, they can use their own social media power to strike back, which could instigate a customer and revenue exodus.
Measuring value: Old market power and new order might
Measuring value in the digital world
How can an Internet company that's valued at $1.5 billion by traditional valuation metrics—discounted cash flow, profitability ratios and the like—possibly support a value of $10 billion? Such figures are based on the market's perception that these companies are creating new sources of value that may not be captured by traditional metrics. Much of this value is generated by the ability of corporate aggregators to capture individual users' personal information – which raises social, ethical and even moral questions that should be asked and answered.
Value created by 1st choice
More than 970 million people "Google."11 Tweeters and their followers number over 200 million.12 And a whopping 62 percent of U.S. Internet users can be found on Facebook.13 The usefulness, familiarity, convenience and network effects offered by these sites make it easy for users to return to each again and again. They have become the "go-to" options for the core services they provide, vying to hold their valuable position in the hearts and minds of their users from new competitors and each other.
The vast numbers of users point to how deep into our societies these companies reach and to the potential insights they can hold within their databases. In the digital world, information about a person's identity, contact information and behaviors is valuable property that, by default, is likely now owned by the company that collected or purchased the information.
This raises several questions. Should companies compensate individuals for their data? Or, does the value of the data exist solely because it has found a use in the context of a company's online platform? If not compensating individuals initially, perhaps sharing in economic rent of using the data? If so, what would that look like?
Value created by dominion
In general, the market expects Internet-based companies to offer a constant stream of innovative new products, services and capabilities, often with the goal of becoming the user's primary gateway to the Internet. If these new products or services increase gravity, anchoring the user in a way that makes it harder to abandon a company's offerings, so much the better. Even Internet-based companies that could easily create new services themselves often buy the latest trends and innovative capabilities by acquiring smaller competitors to maintain that anchoring effect.
The creation of value through dominion is far from a "lock" on the market. Dominion can be fleeting. In the search and social media space, for example, we have already seen sizable shifts in user statistics over the years as newcomers have displaced rivals formerly viewed as the de facto destination. While dominion is a valid and potent path to value creation, it raises the issue of unprecedented quantities of personal information being concentrated within the repositories of a private company. This can be uncharted territory even for modern society.
Value created by depth perception
Companies build digital tools that can distill and clarify vast amounts of data – tools that attempt to create value by giving users the ability to easily and quickly understand, access and absorb vast amounts of information. This ease of access to information can also provide individuals the ability to obtain information that others would prefer to keep private. Anyone can access Google Maps with your address and see where you live – hugely useful if someone is trying to make it to your house for a party, for example, but also a capability that was once reserved for the military. In the physical world, we can request that our phone number be unlisted. In the digital world, it is unclear how that will work. If a person wants to keep his digital information private, how might companies address that need? Or, potentially, if governments determine that this is a privacy concern that should be regulated, how can a company structure its business model in a way that can support that imperative?
Value created by social paths
Social media have created an unprecedented level of communication in our society. Their importance is not just a function of being real time. It is not just size, scale or their instantaneous nature. Many of these factors can come together to give individuals the ability to communicate faster and to a broader audience than ever before.
These private conversations can be overheard and can be a boon to companies that are monitoring their brands. For example, Salesforce.com purchased Radian6, which has technology that can allow companies to capture conversations across social network sites, blogs and online communities. In the physical world, it is illegal to record phone conversations or intercept another person's mail. Should it be different in the digital world? How will the "do not track" movement be enforced? How can companies assure users that they are not being monitored or create an environment where this monitoring happens more transparently?
Value created by mass movement
In our society, freedom of speech is a cherished right. Yet in the physical world, broadcast media are subject to standards that provide guidance about what society generally considers appropriate for broad public distribution. Even movies are rated. The world of social media, on the other hand, resembles the lawless Gold Rush town. The digital world has its own A-list – prolific, often provocative, reviewers, bloggers and influencers who use social platforms as their soapbox. They have the ability to pull in new users who are interested in following their commentary. This capability has played a role in sparking revolutions in the Middle East and public outcry against injustices, but it can just as easily lead to dire outcomes. Should the platform provider share accountability for an individual's ability to influence masses of people?
Competitive advantage in the digital world: Setting standards for the new consumerism
Real opportunity exists to create differentiation and set new "community standards" in honoring the spirit of personal privacy and property rights while enhancing and protecting the value of a brand and enterprise. Some policy questions to be considered:
- Transparency
- Do customers understand how our company uses the data gathered from their interactions and transactions?
- If customers knew the full extent of its use, would they agree to it?
- Does our enterprise have the capability to remove customer data if requested or required?
- Enterprise risk
- Has our enterprise assessed the potential consequences of pending data usage regulations, legislation and lawsuits? Are the potential franchise or reputation risks mitigated? Does the board of directors agree with our assessment?
- Are controls in place that increase the likelihood that data collection platforms are used appropriately? Are metrics gathered and shared with our executives and board of directors that confirm that we are not impairing our brand or franchise? Is our enterprise empowered to enforce appropriate usage?
- Does our organization use external data, and do we have the actual usage rights? Are we infringing on personal property rights in any direct or indirect way?
- Do we monitor our site to prevent outside companies from tracking customers without our knowledge?
- What exposure do we have to inaccurate data regarding individual subscribers?
- Operations and compliance
- If customers chose to opt out, or if we are required to offer this option, how will it impact our franchise? Do we have the capability to remove their information from our databases?
- If we were forced to compensate customers for the data we gather or have gathered from them, how would this impact our business model?
- Does our compliance function appropriately address data rights, or is it narrowly focused on data security and data privacy, such as personally identifiable information (PII)? When can data be subpoenaed if stored in country X while reflecting actions in country Y?
- Does our organization monitor for direct and indirect misuse of our data and data platform?
- For each country the company operates in, do I understand and follow the societal norms of property and privacy rights? Do we understand and are we responsible for where data end up being used?
The sum value of the new order
The economic winners of the California Gold Rush were the technologically advanced mining companies and entrepreneurs who saw an opportunity to serve —or exploit—thousands of fortune-hunters. The losers were the miners who left empty-handed and indigenous people who forever lost their way of life.
Although much wealth has been created by the digital gold rush, it's too soon to know who will be the real winners or losers in today's scramble for value. There are two likely developments:
- There could be substantial regulation. Recent landmark settlements related to privacy violations are clear evidence of this as is newsbreaking discoveries of data records that are stored on tens of millions of smartphones or the applications that we download on to them. As this article is being written in the spring of 2011, Senators John McCain and John Kerry have introduced a broad bipartisan online privacy bill that could more effectively protect consumers, which gives the ability to both the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys to pursue businesses that violate the new law and seek civil damages.14
- As consumers become more aware of how their information and activity is being captured, monitored, mined and monetized, we can expect the public to join in the consumer protection groundswell. Eye-opening tests on your own machine can be performed through consumer sites such as www.bluekai.com to show a sample set of your data that's been captured for use by others without your knowledge.
As media, legislative and individual awareness increases, companies aggregating personal information—whatever their size and core business—should address the social, ethical and moral questions raised (see Competitive Advantage in the Digital World: Setting Standards for the New Consumerism on page 23 as a guide). Companies that recognize these issues and anticipate market demands and consumer perceptions while setting new standards for ease of use, transparency and individual protections may be the winners of the digital gold rush era.

Clary Sage essential oil is warming, sedative, an excellent nerve tonic, and can induce feelings of mild euphoria in some individuals. It is thought enhance one's ability to dream. Clary Sage oil is a tonic for one's overall well-being, and is ideal for use on a regular basis in baths or as a perfume.

The Population Council has released the results of a microbicide trial conducted in South Africa with the Medical Research Council, University of Cape Town (UCT) and Medical University of South Africa (MEDUNSA) in Isipingo (near Durban), Gugulethu (in Cape Town) and Soshanguve (near Pretoria). The trial found that the microbicide Carraguard was no more effective at reducing HIV transmissions than a placebo. Carraguard was however found to be safe.

Singh Kaur was and remains amazing.
Reviewer: Tim - Sat Tej
Singh Kaur was a friend and my first guitar teacher. She could put anything to song and it was always excellent and moving. I used to sit and listen to her playing, and then wake up an hour later with no Singh Kaur in sight. She could just play you to the deepest harmony, and peaceful sleep. She was a spiritual minstrel, and it is odd to hear her playing celestial songs, after her time on earth is done, because her songs always came from an inner divinity and faith, a desire to merge the infinite with life in the moment.. and now, she is in the infinite.. Wishing you all the best Singh Kaur. Your strings of ecstasy play on. All Peace!
Enchanting & Otherworldly
Reviewer: Scotty Oresman Australia
I am amazed by the Mool Mantra track, its incredible! I like to meditate to it or play it at bedtime. The instrumental and vocal melodies come together to create such a warm, texturally rich listening experience.
The Best of the Crimson Collection
Reviewer: Jenny A. Feigl Sausalito CA
I love Crimson volume I. It is the most incredible, most healing CD I have *ever* heard. I like this one far more than any of the other Crimson CDs. When I put this CD on the stereo, I can hardly pull myself away from it.
Black & White photos of Singh Kaur by Elizabeth Sadhu
Singh Kaur (also known as Lorellei and Laura Drew) possessed both a keen compositional mind and a striking, crystalline voice.
Singh Kaur's musical journey was one of unique and magical magnitude. Her music reached a wide audience through the hugely popular Crimson Series albums recorded with Kim Robertson. Shortly thereafter, she joined Soundings of The Planet to produce her first Billboard-charting album, Instruments of Peace (1988), followed by What Child Is This, a Christmas album produced with Dean Evenson.
Singh Kaur was first exposed to the life of music at the age of five, listening to arias sung by her operatic grandmother. At age 14, she bought her first guitar and has been composing and arranging ever since. Her lyrical concepts can be traced to the 14 years that she spent in a yoga ashram studying ancient spiritual teachings and writing music to complement sacred texts.
Literally translated, Singh Kaur means Lion Princess, and a most appropriate name it was too. Long flowing red hair was her mane, accompanying an exuberant personality, both playful and ferocious. Yogi Bhajan, who crowned her with this name, often said that it held the key to her destiny: "Sing Singh Kaur!" As she sang, so did her soul touch the hearts of others, and in this way she bacame beloved to those who knew or heard her.

Throughout the week, campers will visit with our specialists, who create various activities related to sports, art, music and STEAM. Campers will also enjoy group swim lessons two to three times a week at our aquatics center. Wacky Wednesdays are back! Campers are encouraged to get in the spirit of showing off how zany they can get with themes such as crazy hair, wacky outfit and twin day. Themed highlight activities will be the main focus on Thursdays as we invite many of our old friends back to camp such as Wildlife Associates, Happily Ever Laughter and Friendly Pony Parties. These highlight activities may incorporate arts and crafts, games and/or social skills. Every Friday is filled with non-stop fun! Campers will enjoy a kosher-style hot dog BBQ with fruit and veggies. They will participate in the much-anticipated All Camp Event where fun engaging games, crafts and themed activities are provided.

For every dollar spent, you'll receive one reward point. Reward points can be redeemed during checkout for cash savings on future orders.
To honor our satisfaction guarantee, the recipient may be called to schedule delivery under special circumstances. Our delivery trucks leave on schedule at 9:30 and 2:00. We do try to have all businesses delivered by 5:00pm if possible. We do not accept requests for delivery at specific times of day. We cannot guarantee delivery on Sundays if not in our local delivery area as most florists are closed. However, we are open and will do our best when requested. In many cases we can get this done for you. Otherwise, Monday will have to be an option.
Please consider your order delivered on the day you requested if you receive a confirmation. If we have any difficulties with your order, we will contact you by telephone and/or e-mail.
* Note all transactions are in US currency. In the U.S. and Canada, same-day delivery is generally available Monday through Saturday on orders received before 12:00 pm in the recipient's time zone (excluding holidays and peak floral delivery periods). Orders received after 12:00 pm in the recipient's time zone may be delivered the next delivery day. There are no deliveries on Sundays and legal holidays. Please make sure that your order information is accurate and complete in order to avoid delivery delays. This would include the apartment or suite # if needed, and most especially a current telephone number.
Changes to address information or incorrect addresses after the order has been placed resulting in a re-delivery will be subject a $10.00 charge.
Most florist shops make deliveries during normal business hours (9 AM to 6 PM). However, since we do not know each florist's delivery schedule for a particular day, we will be unable to guarantee delivery requests for a specific time or within an hourly range unless verbally agreed. Requests may be taken for either an AM or PM delivery with a verbal confirmation, but they cannot be guaranteed without an additional fee required for special delivery.
The florist may choose to leave the arrangement with a neighbor or manager and attach a note to the recipient's door stating who accepted the arrangement on their behalf; or if the area is secure, to leave the arrangement at the door. The florist may also leave a note on the recipient's door asking the recipient to call the florist's shop and arrange a convenient time for re-delivery. Another option is calling the recipient first to arrange a delivery time. If the recipient is at work all day, we suggest sending the arrangement to the workplace. Incomplete or incorrect address or phone numbers may delay delivery. Most florists employ professional delivery personnel who will find the best delivery choice for your special gift.
Due to the various time zones between the U.S. and other continents, same day delivery is not available. We can only guarantee delivery dates for orders received three business days in advance. You must call us to place an international delivery order; you cannot do so online.
Sympathy flowers available with same day delivery in Baton Rouge.

The Borla exhaust has enhanced the sound of my car and looks great. There is also a noticeable difference in performance. Installation was easy, the only downside is the cost. Not sure I could justify doing it again.

Raven Concealment Phantom Modular Holster for Sig Sauer 1.5"
The Phantom was developed with the idea to create a holster that is modular and adaptable by the user, allowing them to attain the highest possible level of concealment for almost any style of clothing. The Phantom has a low-profile, ultra-thin, body hugging pancake profile. This low profile silhouette, combined with RCS' Eclipse Modular Mounting System, allows the Phantom to be configured for carry either inside or outside the waistband.
The body of the holster is built from thin, high-strength Kydex-T. The pancake-style design of the holster cuts down on bulk and distributes the weight of the firearm across a wider area on the user's belt.
The outside facing portion of the holster fully enshrouds the weapon from muzzle up to the ejection port. The body-side portion of the holster has a full-length body shield, which enhances comfort for the user and aids in re-holstering, while also protecting the pistol itself.
The Phantom ships with 1.5" belt loops, as well as standard Outside-The-Waistband (OTW) belt loops.
The Phantom Modular Holster has been proven by daily use around the world in the over 5 years since its introduction. Trusted by CCW permit holding civilians and Tier-1 Military Units alike, the RCS Phantom has a track record unrivaled in its class.
Note: This holster has 1.5" Belt Loops and a Full size Body Shield.

I thought it would be worth a try and it's not great, pretty rough flavours. Although it is cheaper the Pralus 100% and Noir Infini 99%, they are much much better so only go for this if you really need some cheap 100% cocoa chocolate.
Posted Sun 4 Aug 2013 10.35am by David
This is growing on me. I've now had about 3 bars of this, and initially I didn't like it much at all, thought it was far too harsh and much preferred the Pralus and Noir 99%. However as I get more and more into 100% chocolate, I'm now starting to find the Pralus rather bland, (although still nice and silky) whereas this bar has so many different flavours including some lovely fruity tastes that remind me of plump raisins. So I reckon this is definitely worth persisting with.......
Posted Fri 17 Jan 2014 8.59am by Beverly
Not as bitter as my favourite Menakao, smoother and more mellow but sometimes that's just what I want and then this really hits the spot. Great depth of flavour, I get a hint of coffee in there. This doesn't have the smoothness of Pralus or Domori but I find them rather bland in comparison. I'll definitely buy again.
Posted Tue 27 Sep 2016 5.12pm by Guy
All this chocolate evaluation is subjective, but I have tried many 100% bars, and this is without doubt one of the worst. I found it to have a sickly aftertaste which lingered unpleasantly in the mouth. I recommend most highly Bonnat, Madecasse (cheaper at Waitrose...) and Willie's
Posted Mon 3 Oct 2016 9.24pm by Lori
For me this is the best 100% chocolate there is - and I've tried quite a few! Everything else tastes strangely hollow and bland by comparison. It starts with a good bitter kick - like you'd want a 100% to have - but finishes really smooth and rich and mellow. And in between there's a beautiful complexity of flavour - really full, dark cocoa with a ripe taste like the ripeness of tropical fruit. And on top of all that the company are beyond comparison: a beautiful project with real ethics and vision. Definitely try it!

Bitter but smooth, this bar is a firm favourite.

Hi Kathleen,
Can you advise me where else I might look for information regarding the other ways to obtain Italian citizenship? I was born in Florence, but my situation is a bit complicated. Would I simply ask the Italian Consulate, or is there another avenue I where I could gather info?
I had a negative experience years ago at the Italian consulate in London, where it seemed I just ran into a person who was having a bad day and not necessarily giving accurate info, and I'd like to have an idea of what the actual facts are.
The process to become a dual citizen has streamlined. You must have proof of Italian heritage through birth, death, marriage (and divorce) records of your Italian line starting with you to the parents of the 1st immigrant to America or your country of residence. If you were actually born in Florence you only need your birth record and proof of residence. We do not have experience with the London Italian consulate.ReplyDelete

Corson's Brook Woods Today in the Times, in 1981 and in 1893
On Twitter yesterday, Matthew Wills (who tweets from Brooklyn as @backyardbeyond) noted that "we found two woodland wildflowers in bloom yesterday on Staten Island,.,," I clicked the link and saw photos of spring beauties and trout lilies, and saw that he had visited the island with Marielle Anzelone and that she had also identified two other plants, Virginia waterleaf and blue cohosh.
As soon I read the names of those wildflowers, I DM'd Matthew (we've never met but we follow each other on Twitter and occasionally retweet each other) and asked him where they had found them. He confirmed: Corson's Brook Woods.
I haven't been to Corson's Brook Woods since 1982 but I know it well. In fact, I named it.
In the spring of 1981 I was working for a local Assemblywoman, Betty Connelly, whose district office was at Willowbrook (it's the College of Staten Island now but at the time it was Staten Island Developmental Center and was still a home for developmentally disabled people; when I was a kid it was Willowbrook State School, so we called it Willowbrook). A friend and I had become distressed at the destruction of Staten Island's natural areas, and we became friendly with the leaders of a group called Protectors of Pine Oak Woods, who were led by a terrific, friendly, dedicated naturalist named Dick Buegler.
In April 1981, Dick was in the final stages of conducting fieldwork for "A Comparative Flora of Staten Island 1879-1981," a catalogue of the island's plants that he and another naturalist, Steve Parisio, were working on for the Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences, which was celebrating its 100th anniversary.
One Saturday afternoon that month, Dick led a small group of us through Willowbrook, one of the few places he had yet to survey for the Comparative Flora, and we ended up in a small tract, maybe 20 acres, of rich, moist woods bisected by a brook. I was inexperienced in identifying wildflowers but Dick knew what was rare on the island, and he was tremendously excited by what we found.
For starters, there were three plants that grew nowhere else on Staten Island: wild leek, bladdernut (a shrub/small tree) and American sycamore. Later that summer we found a fourth, zig-zag goldenrod. There was wild ginger, blue cohosh, sweet cicely, baneberry, Virginia waterleaf, false hellebore, silvery spleenwort, spikenard, hop hornbeam and basswood. There were hundreds of sugar maples; the only other stand on the island had perhaps two dozen specimens. The 1981 Flora that Dick and Steve were working on eventually listed basswood as uncommon on Staten Island; all of the others were characterized as rare.
Dick was thrilled at the discovery. Because my office was at Willowbrook, and because I worked for a state lawmaker who was sympathetic to the cause, I became the official tour guide for a succession of naturalists and others who wanted a first-hand look.
Staten Island Developmental Center was slowly being closed in those days, as its residents moved into group homes. There was serious talk by New York State of selling it for development. We thought that was a bad idea and we thought the discovery – or rediscovery – of this small section of it, full of rare plants, was a good rationale for opposing the sale.
I wrote a piece for the Staten Island Advance, explaining what was there and why it was important, and calling on the state to keep it preserved, to make it part of the Staten Island Greenbelt, which was just coming into being at the time.
As part of my research I went to the archives at the Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences and read some of William T. Davis's journals. Davis (1862-1945) was the grandfather of Staten Island's naturalists and environmentalists, an interesting guy and a good writer. I found in the journals that Davis had been to these same woods in 1893 and had described almost precisely what we had seen in 1981.
I also found the area on a 1917 atlas of Staten Island, which identified the brook that flowed through the woods as Corson's Brook. Hence, Corson's Brook Woods. To my amazement, the name stuck.
The Greenbelt was dedicated as a New York City park-nature preserve not long afterward, but Corson's Brook Woods was not included. So on that count we failed. On the other hand, public opposition to the plans to sell Staten Island Island Developmental Center led the state to drop the idea; instead it is now the home of the College of Staten Island.
The chances of CSI being sold and developed are slim. Let's hope that the small section known as Corson's Brook Woods will remain as wild as Davis found it in 1893, as we found it in 1981, and as Marielle Anzelone and Matthew Willis are finding it today.

West Virginia Tightens Oversight After Spill
Above-Ground Storage Tanks Will Have to Be Registered, Inspected
CHARLESTON, W.Va.—The state will require stricter monitoring of storage tanks and water systems under a bill Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin is expected to sign in response to a chemical spill that tainted the water supply for 300,000 people here.
The legislation passed unanimously in its final vote on Saturday, two months after the Jan. 9 spill. About 10,000 gallons of a coal-processing substance called Crude MCHM leaked from a tank into the Elk River, contaminating a water-treatment plant about a mile downstream....

The Jewish tradition has been re-articulated in response to many intellectual revolutions, from the rapid spread of Hellenistic thought by Alexander the Great 2,300 years ago to the invention of the movable-type printing press just half a millennium ago. Yet contemporary Jewish leaders are still working, and often struggling, to give voice to our belief system in the Information Age.
Even as our rabbinical texts are filled with pithy phrases, we struggle to revive them in 140 characters. Even as sacred parables are relatable on blogs, we seem loath to post them or add hyperlinks to related stories. Even as our prayer books are available online, we seldom (with some notable exceptions) see iPads displaying them in our synagogues. Even as many technology pioneers are Jewish, they often practice their religion offline.
I, too, as a future rabbi, am struggling to find my voice in the online din that reverberates in ways previously unseen (or unheard). Yet I am not only dealing with a new medium, but also a new and increasingly essential strand of thought: interfaith collaboration.
Most intentionally, I am working to fit my narrative into a broader spectrum of narratives, which together can be refracted into the white light of interfaith collaboration. My stories of search, disbelief and faith as a Jew are accessible and relatable to the similar stories of belief (or non-belief) that define the narratives of other leaders in the interfaith movement. While each of our stories is whole unto itself, it is magnified when placed in relation to other, analogous stories within different traditions. A narrative in conversation with other narratives can outline the ark of our increasingly pluralistic society.
Sitting down with two leading media professionals (thanks to a professional development grant), I began to find voice for my narrative, as it could be related on camera and on radio, in both cases online. Key to telling my own story was finding and accessing "my own voice," making sure it is authentic to who I am and what I believe. Likewise, I needed to "want it," to want my narrative in public and to find words that truly fit it. Without a genuine desire to share my narrative as part of a salient social movement, others wouldn't find it compelling.
In short, if I wanted to be a Jewish interfaith leader, I needed to hone my story so that it was not only personally meaningful, but meaningful and comprehensible to others. While the Internet is transforming media, so too is the interfaith movement transforming the way in which we relay our narratives as religious leaders. They are not simply stand-alone pieces but part of a movement that extends beyond our respective traditions. Drawing from the fountains of wisdom and inspiration within our own faith groups, we now have the opportunity to positively impact other religious communities.
With careful reflection and equally careful conveyance, the same ideas from our respective traditions can resonate anew in broader society. But like my rabbinic predecessors in other times of technological and social flux, I can only relate my narrative effectively with the help of those leading the changes we see taking place.

The sciatic nerve begins from the lower spine on either side. It travels deep in the pelvis to the lower buttocks. From there, it passes along the back of each upper leg and divides at the knee into branches that go to the feet. Sciatica is an irritation of the sciatic nerve.
|Sciatic Nerve Pain
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Sciatica is caused by irritation or pressure on the sciatic nerve. This can be the result of:
- Herniated disc —the cushions between the bones of your spine bulge and press on the nerve as it exits the spinal column
- Arthritis in the lower back
- Spinal stenosis —narrowing of the spinal canal in the lumbar area
- Spondylolisthesis —slippage of a bone in the lower back
- Cauda equina syndrome —nerve roots at the base of the spinal cord are compressed
- Piriformis syndrome— spasm of piriformis muscle
Risk Factors
Sciatica is more common in men. Other factors that may increase your chance of sciatica include:
Lifestyle and personal health factors, such as:
- Obesity
- Smoking
- History of low back problems
- Anxiety and depression
Occupational factors, such as:
- Heavy manual labor
- Heavy lifting
- Exposure to vibrations
- A job that requires standing for long periods of time and forward bending
Health conditions, such as:
- Fractures in the back
- Tumors
- Infections
- Metabolic problems, such as diabetes
Sciatica causes symptoms that can range from mild to severe. Symptoms may include:
- Burning, tingling, or a shooting pain down the back of one leg
Pain in one leg or buttock may get worse with:
- Sitting
- Standing up
- Coughing
- Sneezing
- Straining
- Weakness or numbness in a leg or foot
More serious symptoms associated with sciatica that may require immediate medical attention include:
- Continuing weakness in a leg or foot
- Numbness in groin or the buttocks
- Difficulty walking, standing, or moving
- Loss of bowel or bladder control
- Fever, unexplained weight loss, or other signs of illness
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will pay particular attention to your back, hips, and legs. The physical exam will include tests for strength, flexibility, sensation, and reflexes.
Imaging tests are used to evaluate the affected area:
Your doctor may also need to test your nerves. This can be done with a nerve conduction study .
The goal of treatment is to reduce sciatic nerve irritation.
Treatment options include:
Bed rest is not generally recommended. It may be suggested for no more than 1-2 days in those with severe pain. Activities may be restricted for a period of time and then resumed as soon as possible. Recovery time may be shortened by staying active and exercising.
Medications used to treat sciatica include:
- Over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers
- Muscle relaxants for muscle spasms
- Corticosteroid injections in the back
- Antidepressants or antiseizure medications for chronic pain
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy may include:
- Cold packs or heat therapy
- Stretching and strengthening exercises
- Massage
- Ultrasound treatments or electrical stimulation
- Posture education and appropriate lifting instructions
Alternative Therapies
These therapies have not been proven by scientific studies to have an effect on sciatica. However, some people may find some pain relief from:
Surgery may be done to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. This is performed in emergency situations or if other treatments fail. Common surgical procedures are microdiscectomy and lumbar laminectomy .
Sciatica tends to happen more than one time. To help reduce your chance of sciatica:
- Use proper body movement when playing sports, exercising, or lifting heavy objects.
- Practice good posture to reduce pressure on your spine.
- Begin a safe exercise program with the advice of your doctor.
- If possible, avoid sitting or standing in one position for long periods.
- Consider job retraining if your work requires a lot of heavy lifting or sitting.

The stainless steel rod they stick in your penis and open up to scrape the inside of your uretha when having an STD. It looks like an antenna going in and mini umbrella when it comes out. The doctor will first insert a large hollow needle down the end of your penis, he will the pass another instrument through the centre of the needle, this opens up when it reaches the end, like a metal umbrella, both are then pulled out with the end scraping the inside of the penis, this cleans and also takes a sample, the doctor will then check your rectum for for large anal boils, please note most people who have a STD will lose all there teeth within 3 years.
Damn dude that hooker Kelly gave me VD and the bitch @ the health department had to give me the steel umbrella!

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - The York College men's tennis team saw their 2011-2012 campaign come to an end on Tuesday as they fell to #25 Mary Washington 9-0 in the semifinal round of the Capital Athletic Conference Tournament in Fredericksburg, Va. The Spartans conclude the season with an 11-8 record while the Eagles improved to 14-12 and move on to the league championship match.
The talented Eagles bested the Green and White in each of the three doubles matches and won in straight sets in each singles tilt.
The loss means the Spartans bid adieu to seniors Philip Myers and James Villari. Myers posted a 13-8 record for the Green and White in his senior campaign as he finishes his career sporting a 29-15 mark. Last year, he posted a stellar 15-6 record as he equaled the second-most single-season wins in program history. In doubles play, Myers posted 24 career victories including seven this year with Villari.
Villari closes out his time with the Spartans having posted a career-high ten wins this season. He also registered 22 doubles victories while at York.
Despite the end of the season, the Spartans have room for optimism heading into next year. Sophomores Nathaniel Hoskins and Tyler Cheatham posted solid years, including a strong 14-5 mark as a doubles pair, while rookie Matthew Rosenkrantz notched a team-best 14 singles wins this season while only suffering six losses.

Subway Is Not Ashamed: First Fast Food Restaurant To Put Calorie Info On Menus
While the other large fast food chains sue the City of New York to keep calorie information off their menus, Subway has gone ahead and complied with the New York City regulation. Dunkin' Donuts, meanwhile, submitted a sample menu meant to "prove" that putting calorie info on its menu just couldn't be done… and the NYC Health Department responded by having its own graphic designer redo the sign to prove that it could be done.
The result is hilarious. From NEW YORK STATE RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION VS NEW YORK CITY BOARD OF HEALTH:
Dunkin' Donuts submitted a sample menu board in an attempt to demonstrate that calorie information would not fit along with price information. From that sample, the Department's director of graphics produced a replica of the menu board with comparable fonts and layout to demonstrate that calories could be listed easily and visibly, as shown in the illustrations below, and in Mr. Krueger's declaration.. These modifications, as well as the earlier examples, provide clear evidence that calorie listings required by the regulations are feasible to implement with basic graphic design techniques.
Dunkin' Donut's sample menu is on the left, NYC's on the right. We were initially skeptical of this regulation, but have to admit that the Subway menu looks really nice and doesn't seem weird or gross at all. And, since the regulation only applies to big restaurant chains who have already had their nutritional info calculated… We fail to see what the big deal is. For background on what the regulation is and who it applies to, click here.

'Best in world' humpback watching
EVERYONE on the Fraser Coast knows Hervey Bay is the best place in the world to watch whales, and now the rest of the world knows too.
The travel website CNNGo has listed Hervey Bay as the number one spot for watching humpback whales.
The report goes through whale watching sites all over the world, to show the best places for specific breeds of whales, such as humpbacks, orcas or blue whales.
It states whales stay to mate and give birth in the Bay, with guaranteed sightings from mid-July to the end of October, making it the place to go.
Whale watching operator Jill Perry agreed Hervey Bay's unique features made it number one.
Having the calm seas and the birthing place of whale calves gave visitors an inimitable experience.
"Of course we knew it all along, but someone else has to say it," Ms Perry said.
"It's fabulous news."
The CCN Go report was shared on Facebook with the 279,800 fans of the page, and 774 people from all over the world "Liked" the report within 24 hours.
Tourism Fraser Coast general manager Pip Close said to be rated by CNNGo as the best whale watching site in the world for humpbacks was a terrific honour.
"To be given the recognition by such a respected authority on world travel speaks volumes for our product in Hervey Bay," Ms Close said.
"It reinforces what we have known all along, that the protected waters of Hervey Bay provide the kind of up-close-and-personal humpback encounters that can't be matched anywhere in the world."
Best whale watching spots by breed
- Beluga whales - Cunningham Inlet, Canada
- Blue whales - The Azores
- Grey whales - Baja California
- Humpback whales - Hervey Bay, Australia
- Minke whales - Antarctic Peninsula
- Narwhals - Nunavut, Canada
- Orcas - San Juan Islands, USA
- Pilot whales - Strait of Gibraltar, Spain
- Southern right whales - Hermanus, Sth Africa
- Sperm whales - Kaikoura, New Zealand
- Whale sharks - Cancun, Mexico

Five mechanical engineering students are designing an infant resuscitator to help newborns in underdeveloped areas breathe.
The Global AIR (Assistance of Infant Resuscitation) team is made up of Garret Burks of Harrisonburg, Va.; Jamie Cabaleiro of Cary, N.C.; Megan Cash of Felton, Del.; Lisa Gonzalez of Fairfax, Va.; and Ashley Taylor of Fort Chiswell, Va. They wanted to work together on their senior design project and do something to make a difference.
"I think the biggest motivator for me was that we are going to devote one year of our time to the senior design project," Burks said. "I wanted to work on something that could have an immediate impact on people."
The team's mentors, Al Wicks, associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Dr. Andre A. Muelenaer Jr., associate professor of pediatrics at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and adjunct professor at Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Science, pointed the students toward the need for an infant resuscitator that could function without electricity, which can be spotty in underdeveloped countries.
Students travel to Malawi
Burks and Taylor traveled to Malawi this summer through funding provided by the Scieneering program, of which they are both participants, to see the need firsthand and assess the local resources that could be used to develop a sustainable neonatal resuscitator.
"The trip has been really helpful for our senior design because it's near impossible to design for an environment that you've never experienced," Taylor said.
Burks and Taylor visited rural hospitals and outreach clinics. Other countries often donate equipment to hospitals in Malawi, but this doesn't necessarily address the problems, they said.
"The physicians in Malawi showed us the labels on an ultrasound's probes and they were all written in German. No one could understand them. The monitor for the machine was also in German," Taylor said. "I think that was a good example for us that even when people have the best intentions – donations that are given with the best hearts – you really have to invest in the people and the local technology."
Burks added, "We saw a lot of inoperable equipment in the hospitals that was unable to be repaired due to lack of resources, both human and material." Donated equipment couldn't be used because of unreliable electricity and surges, they said
A functional solution
Global AIR is building on what Burks and Taylor learned in Malawi to design a functional solution. The students want to use parts available in Malawian hardware stores so "it can be fixed there and sustained," Burks said. "They would also like to keep the total cost under $100.
They plan for the two vital functions of the resuscitator – suction to remove anything blocking a newborn's airway and inflation to fill the infant's lungs for the first time – to operate without electricity. They also want to provide continuous positive pressure, or regular airflow that may be necessary for infants at greatest risk. This technology is currently not available in resource-challenged environments.
While Global AIR plans to have a device for use in Malawi before graduation in May 2014, the students hope it won't stop there. "The way I like to think about it is that our project is inspired by Malawi, but we hope that this project will reach other developing areas, too," Gonzalez said.
The device could be useful in developed countries, as well. "The secondary market would be any area hit by a natural disaster," Cabaleiro said. "When Hurricane Sandy came through, nurses pumped manually to provide air for all of the babies hour after hour for over two days. Our design could be a source of backup."
Focused on a solution
Team members also took a trip to the neonatal intensive care unit at Carilion Roanoke (Va.) Memorial Hospital.
"For me, the trip was motivating and self-renewing in our project," Cash said. "In the U.S., it's less likely that a baby is born prematurely than in an underdeveloped nation. It's unfair that the needs are greater in these countries, yet they have no resources to meet the needs."
They hope to have the first step toward a solution.
"It's a really good process for us as engineers, to start from the ground up. It's very humbling," Taylor said. "I think one thing we really have embraced is interdisciplinary connections across campus, Montgomery County, Roanoke, and Malawi. We realized we don't have all of the answers to solve our problems and that's OK. When we ask for help and guidance, we make a lot more progress."
They also have a determination to see it through.
"We are going to make this happen," Gonzalez said. "We can't wait to deliver the final project to our friends in Malawi next summer."

Through the Scieneering program at Virginia Tech, Ashley Taylor is working on an electronic sensor that can help detect signs of cerebral palsy in infants.
