Stephanie McMahon participated in a Facebook Q&A this afternoon. You can check out the highlights below, and the full Q&A above.
- Her favorite promo was the one she cut on Shane McMahon while getting the Legacy of Excellence Award, saying it was 'challenging.' Getting to slap Roman Reigns was also 'impactful and challenging.'
- Brie Bella 'packs a wallop' in her slap, according to Stephanie.
- Stephanie says it was a privilege to be in the ring with Dusty Rhodes and said that he challenged her in the ring on the mic. She says it was a moment that she'll never forget.
- She wanted to write a book to let people know what is so special about the WWE, and wanted to entice and entertain those people who haven't found it yet.
- She's excited to share her moments with Andre, dinner with wrestlers, her mom making Mr. T liver, and her love story with Triple H.
- She says she enjoyed her programs with Trish Stratus, Brie Bella, Lita and Jacqueline Moore. Having the privilege to get in the ring without being a wrestler is an honor to her. She says the decision to get back in the ring isn't up to her, it's up to the 'decision maker.' She says that as long as it helps get somebody over, that's the ultimate goal of her character.
- Being a heel is her preference over being a babyface. Heels getting their comeuppance is her favorite part, according to her. She cited Sable and Chris Jericho as doing that.
- Stephanie McMahon says the reason that she and Triple H train at midnight is because it's the only time they really have to train.
- She briefly considered a career as a dance choreographer and a marine biologist.
- She really enjoys helping grow the brand, and says she's wanted to be involved in the WWE her entire life.
- One of her biggest takeaways from the Eisenhower Fellowship is that people are all the same, regardless of country. She says it shouldn't have been that much of a surprise, but it was.
- Stephanie spends her free time with her children and husband doing movie night or game night.

Udinese boss Francesco Guidolin has dismissed talk of winning the Scudetto this season.
The Friulani are joint leaders with Lazio and have lost only once all season in Serie A.
"The real objective of my team is to stay in the European qualifying zone, certainly not the Scudetto," he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Having said that, being up there on top of the table is a marvellous sensation. However, Milan have turned on the turbo and when they are in good shape, the Rossoneri can even beat Barcelona. There is no other player in the world with the same strength and class as Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"Juventus are just behind Milan, as Antonio Conte has done well to bring the locker room atmosphere of the past into the present.
"There is huge expectation around Napoli and it's not positive to always want something more. As for Inter, if they can follow Claudio Ranieri's teaching, then they'll quickly climb back up the table.
"Lazio are level with us and truly surprising. You can tell Edy Reja is enjoying his football."

French Polynesia is an overseas country of the French Republic (pays d'outre-mer). It is made up of several groups of Polynesian islands, the most famous island being Tahiti in the Society Islands group, which is also the most populous island and the seat of the capital of the territory (Papeetē).
French Polynesia has five administrative subdivisions each of which is further divided into a total of 48 communes.
None of these uses arms as far as I know, only Papeete used arms before.

Date Night Dinner: Chicken Mofongo
But as soon as I walked into the neighborhood grocery store and saw green plantains, I knew what dinner would be this weekend! I was so excited. Of course, this recipe is a little indepth. It requires time, patience, and reading the directions. Usually, I have none of these things but at least on Saturdays I do have time.
We didn't have those great little mofongo cups you see all over Puerto Rico (in the restaurants AND souvenir shops) but serving it in any large dish and building a cup for your meat is the way to go here. The spicy tomato sauce sinks into the luscious plantain, well, it is just a treat! And if you've never had it, I couldn't think of why you'd pass up the opportunity to give it a try.
Serves: 2
3 plantains
1 teaspoon salt
2 strips bacon
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
6 ounces chicken stock, divided
1/2 pound chicken breasts, diced
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
6 ounces tomato paste
Slice the plantains into 1-inch cuts and place in a large bowl. Add salt and enough water to cover the plantains fully. Let sit 15 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot to boil. Drain the plantains and boil for 15 minutes, until slightly tender though not mushy. Meanwhile, cook the bacon strips over medium heat in a thick-bottomed skillet until crispy. Remove and crumble into a large bowl. Mix with garlic.
Drain the plantains and pat dry. Saute the plantain slices in the bacon grease until golden brown on each side 3-5 minutes. If you need more oil, supplement with a few tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the plantains and half of the chicken stock to the bacon-garlic mixture and using a potato masher, mash until the plantain mixture resembles mashed potatoes.
Meanwhile, using the same skillet, brown the chicken. Add the onion and peppers and saute 3-5 minutes. Add the remaining chicken stock and tomato paste. Simmer until the sauce is thick, 7-10 minutes.
Place the plantains in a large bowl and make a large dent in the middle. Spoon in the chicken and serve immediately.
Until the next time my oven is on...

Among the thousands of people who make up the graffiti/street art community around the world, there are few names that carry the same legendary quality as SABER. Born in the Los Angeles suburb of Glendale, SABER was raised by creative parents and discovered his passion for art at an early age. At 13, his cousins introduced him to graffiti when they took him to see the spray paint-covered Belmont Tunnel. From that moment on, he was hooked. After honing his skills on local walls, SABER joined MSK, and was later inducted into legendary piecing crew AWR.
SABER is a fixture in the Los Angeles graffiti scene having completed the largest graffiti piece ever created. His piece on the sloping cement bank of the Los Angeles River was nearly the size of a professional football field, and took 125 gallons of paint and 35 nights to complete. In a famous photograph (below) — taken by his father just after it was finished—SABER stands on the piece and appears as a tiny speck amid a giant blaze of color. It catapulted SABER to legend status in the graffiti world.
Saber is passionate about translating his twenty years of painting complex large scale graffiti outdoor pieces into refined detailed mixed media canvas paintings. These abstract paintings exemplify this power, energy, movement and texture that can only be mimicked by someone who has been at the forefront of the graffiti/street art movement.

Bringing James Bond to the big screen
By Matt Prigge
Published : October 22, 2013
Film exec David V. Picker doesn't have the flamboyance of a Robert Evans. But his track record is arguably even more staggering. As a producer, including a stint as president of United Artists in the '60s and '70s, he helped bring James Bond to the movies, as well as the Beatles and Woody Allen. His new book "Musts, Maybes and Nevers: A Book About the Movies" details his successes and occasional disasters over a lengthy career.
This is a largely positive book, though you do call Robert Altman an unprintable word.
Some of the people I dealt with I had enormous respect for and liked. Some of the people I had respect for and didn't like. Some of the people I dealt with I neither respected nor liked. It's the nature of the beast, but in the world of the arts, it's probably even more — how should I say? — more colorful.
Artists don't always have a strong business sense.
But many do. Even if they don't have good business sense, they understand that in order to get support for what they do, they have to deal with the financial reality. Some of them are very good and extremely caring, others — on both sides of the table — couldn't care less.
The cliche of the '60s and '70s was there was a greater creativity than there is now.
I'm not sure that's true. There was certainly great freedom, but I just saw two movies in the last few days that are fantastic, and they couldn't be further apart in economic content. You go see "Gravity" and you go see "Nebraska," and you see two fabulous movies that couldn't be further apart in the economic risks involved and the potential gain involved. And yet both got made and both are absolutely fabulous films.
You mention not only great, beloved films you were involved with, but also disasters. But some, like "The Fugitive King" and "Electra Glide in Blue," have come around to some retroactive acclaim. Even "Ishtar" has a cult following now.
Well, that doesn't make it good. I don't think "Ishtar" is a very good movie. "The Fugitive Kind" is a terrible picture. It just doesn't work. That's my opinion. Other people may think it's a classic of some kind. They're entitled to think that. It's the one thing about the arts is everybody comes away with their own opinions. Some people look at modern art and say it's just junk. Other people look at it and think it's fabulous and interesting.
You stress how hard it is to predict success in the movie business. Even James Bond — a British series starring a then-unknown — was risky.
Every movie's a risk. I think making "Dr. No" for a million dollars wasn't a giant risk. The difficulty there was getting the rights. Initially Ian Fleming wasn't going to sell them. Then he sold them to somebody who couldn't get it made. Then it wound up coming to us. One of the partners had a deal with Columbia, but Columbia didn't want to do it them. It's hard to look back today and say, "What do you mean they didn't want to do the first James Bond movie?" But they passed and I got it. There's no accounting for how those decisions are made, and at the end of the day, it's water under the bridge.

my great gatsby shower
In a super sweet, overwhelming and completely unnecessary move, my family and friends threw me a "sprinkle" yesterday. I'm using "sprinkle" in quotes because this thing was a full-on baby shower. A Great Gatsby-themed baby shower, of course. While I wish they hadn't gone to all the trouble, I loved it and was so impressed by the effort my mom and mother-in-law had put into the planning.
From playing the Baz Luhrman movie and soundtrack in the background, to feathers and pearls as decoration to guests choosing between wearing headbands, beads or a mustache, they covered all the details.
I mean:
(that mirror was my nanny's <3)
They stole my "Hello, Old Sport" sign from the nursery a few days before and I didn't even notice! Ha!
And then this happened.
Yes, that's my mother-in-law and my mom.
They had me don a headband and feather to fit in with the guests.
The cake and cupcakes were gorgeous:
My mom was pretty proud of herself for hand-glittering all those letters.
I am not a good cake cutter.
Check out that orb in the photo.
(and yes, that's a photo of Holden crying in that wall calendar.)
Holdy even showed up at the end to join in the fun.
So I'm 37 weeks and I'm now stocked with adorable baby boy clothes and diapers. Let's do this, little man!

How to Get Rid of Body Blemishes
Though most people think of acne as a face issue, blemishes can pop up anywhere on your body where dirt, oil or other debris clog your pores. It's not uncommon to get breakouts on your back, chest and arms. In fact, back acne is so common that it's gotten its own nickname: bacne. Body blemishes can clear up with many of the same remedies you use to treat blemishes on your face.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Use a body wash or cleanser that contains 2 percent salicylic acid every time you shower, recommends the beauty department at the "Marie Claire" magazine website. The salicylic acid will clean out your pores to clear up blemishes and prevent future breakouts.
Step 2
Apply a noncomedogenic body lotion to skin after showering. Skipping the moisturizer can actually cause your skin to dry out and produce more acne-causing oil, so hydrating your body is essential.
Step 3
Crush two aspirin and mix them with one drop of honey and one drop of water to make a quick spot treatment for inflamed blemishes, recommends dermatologist Ava Shamban on the "Cosmopolitan" website. The acetyl-salicylic acid in the aspirin will soothe inflammation and redness, while honey's mild antibacterial properties kill bacteria, making your pimple almost instantly less noticeable.
Step 4
Wear loose clothes made with natural fibers to prevent pore-clogging sweat and skin irritation.

This is the second part of the article, you can find the first one here : Strategies for sharing XAML code in Universal Apps (1/2)
We will see different options to get UI and functionnal platform specificities while sharing some XAML at the same time:
- Styles
- DataTemplates
- UserControl
- Partial Class
- From shared to specific to shared again
- #if WINDOWS_PHONE_APP / WINDOWS_APP
You can download the source code of this basic sample app here
Going Platform specific
Ok, until here we still share all the XAML code. But what if want to be even more specific on each platform ? Well, there are many possibilities.
Let's say I want to have a different color for the photo Title on Windows and Windows Phone ? Well, you can put styles in the platform-specific projects and use them in a shared XAML file. In my case I will change the color of the photo title.
I will add a resource dictionary file called CustomDictionary.xaml on each Win and WP projects, and load them in the app.xaml common file.
<Application x:Class="BuildMemories.App" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="using:BuildMemories"> <Application.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="CustomDictionary.xaml" /> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> </ResourceDictionary> </Application.Resources> </Application>
I will use Pink in the Windows app and Yellow for Windows Phone (I know, I'm not good at choosing colors ).
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="using:BuildMemories"> <Style x:Key="MonTextblock" TargetType="TextBlock"> <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="DeepPink"></Setter> </Style> </ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="using:BuildMemories"> <Style x:Key="MonTextblock" TargetType="TextBlock"> <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Yellow"></Setter> </Style> </ResourceDictionary>
I will now use this style in my shared MainPage.xaml
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding ElementName=fv, Path=SelectedItem.Title}" Margin="10" FontSize="28" Style="{StaticResource MonTextblock}"/>
You can also use a specific DataTemplate on each Platform. I will do that for my FlipView, so that it shows different data on Windows and Windows Phone. To do so, I create 2 different DataTemplates called APhotoTemplate used by the FlipView ItemTemplate.
<FlipView Margin="0,9,0,-9" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource APhotoTemplate}">
The Template APhotoTemplate will be defined in the resource dictionary just like the style. I will add the photo title on the top of the photo just for the Windows 8.1 version:
<DataTemplate x:Name="APhotoTemplate"> <Grid> <Image Source="{Binding Path}" VerticalAlignment="Top" /> <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding Title}" FontSize="28" Margin="10"/> </Grid> </DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Name="APhotoTemplate"> <Grid> <Image Source="{Binding Path}" VerticalAlignment="Top" /> </Grid> </DataTemplate>
You can also have a specific UserControl : for the example, I will add a "comments" textbox only in the Windows 8.1 version. I will create a usercontrol for all the banner stuff, on each platform specific project and refer to it in the shared MainPage.xaml:
<local:BannerUserControl x:Name="spActions" DataContext="{Binding ElementName=fv, Path=SelectedItem}"/>
<UserControl x:Class="BuildMemories.BannerUserControl" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="using:BuildMemories" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400" x:Name="uc"> <StackPanel Orientation="{Binding ElementName=uc, Path=Orientation}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Background="{ThemeResource SystemColorControlAccentBrush}" Opacity="0.8"> <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding Title}" Margin="10" FontSize="28" Style="{StaticResource MonTextblock}"/> <DatePicker Margin="10"/> <CheckBox Content="I like that" Margin="10"/> <TextBox Width="300" Margin="10"></TextBox> <Button Content="Share" Margin="0"/> </StackPanel> </UserControl>
Same code than in the Windows version, but without the highlighted TextBox used for the comments.
Partial class
To get the benefit of my Comment textbox, which is specific to my Windows version, I will need to bind it to my ViewModel. But this one is in the shared project and I don't want to add Windows specific stuff in it.
So, want I can do is add platform specific behavior to my ItemViewModel class, thanks to the fact that it is partial. Let's add a new file in the Windows project, called ItemViewModel.cs and add the comment stuff in it:
using GalaSoft.MvvmLight; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace BuildMemories.ViewModels { // Using a partial class will help sharing VM accross shared and platform specific projects public partial class ItemVM : ViewModelBase { private string _comments; public string Comments { get { return _comments; } set { Set(() => Comments, ref _comments, value); } } } }
Do the binding in the xaml file:
<TextBox Width="300" Margin="10" Text="{Binding Comments, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
The Windows Phone app didn't change:
From shared to specific to shared again
Our usercontrol is platform-specific, but we still need common business functionnalities, for the Share button for instance. Even if the layout is different, sharing will remain the same.
Well, you can put the code for the share command in the ViewModel of the Shared project.
This means that we have a Shared XAML MainPage using a specific (non shared) UserControl, which itself uses a shared Command of the shared ItemViewModel.
That would not always be the best choice to make, but maybe sometimes it is so it's good to know it's possible.
Just add the command to the ItemVM is the shared project:
// Using a partial class will help sharing VM accross shared and platform specific projects public partial class ItemVM : ViewModelBase { public string Path { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } RelayCommand _shareItCmd; public RelayCommand ShareCmd { get { return _shareItCmd ?? (_shareItCmd = new RelayCommand(ShareIt)); } } async void ShareIt() { var msg = new MessageDialog("Shared !"); await msg.ShowAsync(); } }
And simply bind the command in the BannerUserControl.xaml in both Windows and Windows Phone project.
<Button Content="Share" Command="{Binding ShareCmd}"/>
You can see that for the same MessageDialog class, we get a nice specific UX in each Windows and Windows Phone app.
#if WINDOWS_PHONE_APP / WINDOWS_APP
As you share files and not binaries, you can also use pre-compilation directives in you C# code in the shared project. This can be a good alternative to avoid creating specific code files in the Platform projects, especially when the specificities are very small.
Example : handling the back button on Windows Phone.
#if WINDOWS_PHONE_APP Windows.Phone.UI.Input.HardwareButtons.BackPressed += HardwareButtons_BackPressed; #endif
For Windows 8.1 specific, you would use WINDOWS__APP.
The option of sharing XAML in universal apps is very exciting and gives us much more options for organizing our code in cross-platform applications…but it doesn't mean that you should do it !
Don't think I encourage you to share the maximum percentage of your XAML code : it can be very tricky and difficult to undestand what styles, datatemplates and usercontrols are shared or not, and how they relate to each other.
But I wanted to show you an overview of the main technical possibilities for sharing xaml, to help you do your own choices.
You can download the source code of this basic sample here.

Indian pastors jailed after false allegations of 'conversion'
Hindu extremists targeted three pastors with false allegations of 'conversion' in Madhya Pradesh in the latest attempt by nationalists to shut down Christian worship.
Three pastors of the Indian Evangelical team in the Khandwa district of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh were jailed on Monday (10 April).
A group of Hindu extremists comprising of members of the Bajrang Dal and Hindu organisations gathered in the Sitabedi village and protested against a prayer meeting that was taking place on Palm Sunday in the house of a Christian.
Videos filmed by some of the Christians show that the extremists were menacingly questioning the three pastors and the host family about the meeting.
"The lady of the host family persistently emphasised that she was getting this prayer service done in her house as a token of thanksgiving to the Lord for delivering her from prolonged sickness," said Pastor Shivram Mujalde, the Area Supervisor of IET in an interview with Global Christian News.
Munjalde described how the leader of the Hindu extremists made allegations against the three pastors for luring a Hindu from amongst the extremist crowd to convert to Christianity.
"The Hindu extremists were carrying a necklace with a cross in it to be worn in the neck along with them and they concocted a story saying that the pastors had told the Hindu man that, 'your faith in your god does you no good….wear this necklace with the cross in it and start to believe in Jesus'," said Mujalde.
Contradicting the fabricated story Mujalde told Global Christian News that the Hindu man was not even in the Church service and the three pastors had never met him.
"We ourselves don't wear a cross and do not encourage our congregation members to wear one," added Mujalde calling their bogus story baseless and a cheap trap.
"Everything was pre-planned. The police were already informed, arrived about 20 minutes after the Hindu mob began to intimidate the Christians. They were shouting slogans of 'Jai Shri Ram' (Hail lord Rama)," said Mujalde.
At the false testimony of the Hindu extremist five Christians – Pastor Amar Singh Solanki, Pastor Kishore Barela, Pastor Prabhakar Solanki and two women (the wives of the Pastors) were arrested and taken to the Piplod police station. The women were later released in the evening, while the three pastors were charged under the Madhya Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act, which outlaws attempts to convert people from one faith to another. Penalties for conversion includes fines and up to a year in prison.
Pastor Kishore Barela from Badwani (4 kilometers from the incident) and Pastor Prabhakar Solanki from Jalgaon, Maharashtra (200 Kilometers) along with their families were special guests invited for the worship service by Pastor Amar Singh Solanki, who conducts regular Sunday service in village Gudi (2 kilometers) for the past 4 years.
Mujalde told Global Christian News that the host Amar Singh and his family were attending Church with Pastor Amar Singh Solanki since August 2016 after Amar Singh's wife received healing and deliverance.
She wanted to testify of what God has done in her life and arranged a two-day prayer and thanksgiving in her house. Inviting all the Church members (45 people), she requested the Pastor to conduct the Palm Sunday Church service from her house. It began Saturday evening and was going to end with Sunday lunch," said Mujalde.
Shivram Mujalde told Global Christian News that he confronted the policemen in the court room on 10 April, while they were waiting to hear from the magistrate, saying, "Do you not understand what is right and what is wrong? You have arrested the pastors on the testimony of a false witness?".
"To which the policeman said that we should have filed a counter FIR (First Information Report) against the extremists. 'We know the truth, but they have called us and we have to take action'," said the policeman to Mujalde.
Mujalde was dumbstruck to what happened inside the court room and said, "The magistrate had granted bail to the three pastors, but instantaneously the Hindu mob along with media personals with camera's and equipment's rushed inside the court-room. The extremists demanded strict action against the Christians and the court revoked the orders."
The three pastors remain in jail and await bail today (12 April).

I beat Amtrak by two decades!
You've likely heard that Amtrak has created a writers residency on the rails, and it is reviewing applications through the end of March. Way back in 1994, though, I created an Amtrak writing residency of my own, traveling in a sleeper car more than half-way around the country while writing day and night. Starting in Philadelphia, I swung through New York, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Paul, Spokane, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, and San Francisco, before ending up in L.A., where I flew back to Philly. Unofficial, perhaps, but still a grand time. An official Amtrak residency is a cool idea, and if you want to apply, here's a link:

- What does Doba do?
- Inventory on Demand: Technology Infrastructure
- Inventory on Demand: Products and Suppliers
What does Doba do?
Doba is an Inventory on Demand platform designed to solve the major pain points with inventory management. The platform is the technology infrastructure to support a virtual warehouse and fulfillment system as well as the relationships with hundreds of suppliers. These suppliers are capable of drop shipping their inventory of products on behalf of retailers directly to end customers.
How much does it cost to get products live on your website and keep them updated? How much does it cost to onboard new suppliers and product catalogs? How much overhead do you lose in the ongoing management of products and catalogs? How quickly can you get new products and/or supplier up and running on your website? Doba can help address these business challenges and maximize your return on investment with our Inventory on Demand platform. Doba will save you time and resources so you can focus on growing your business. No longer will you incur expenses testing new suppliers, finding new suppliers, and sorting/filtering/standardizing data. You can test new products, move into new product lines, find new suppliers and access their virtual catalogs, and ultimately sell more products to your customers without near the cost of trying to do all of that yourself. You can also avoid the hassles of storing, packing, shipping and handling the products.
Inventory on Demand: Technology Infrastructure
Doba has been developing our technology infrastructure for over 5 years and has invested millions of dollars in building a robust and scalable virtual warehouse and fulfillment system. We have also enabled an API so that you can use our website interfaces and programmatically access our service.
Inventory on Demand: Products and Suppliers
With one connection to Doba's platform you are linked to over 3,400,000 unique SKU's and more than 7,700 manufacturers. Instead of creating separate and costly relationships with suppliers one at a time, with one integration to Doba you are connected with an expansive virtual catalog. You can grow and scale your business more effectively through our Inventory on Demand platform.
We support both direct relationships and brokered relationships with suppliers. This means you can either pay the supplier directly and use all of our data aggregation, order management, catalog updates, etc OR order through us acting as a broker on your behalf. We are indifferent to the relationship type as we do not add margin to product costs.
Direct Relationships
On the direct side, it allows you to keep special pricing and merchandising/marketing support that you may enjoy from working directly with the supplier. You use Doba for our data aggregation and feeds, order management, catalog updates, etc.
Brokered Relationships
This allows you to test suppliers without going through the full account setup. It also means that in many cases (especially with more fringe suppliers), you can get better pricing than if you were to go direct because of the order volumes we send the supplier.
We do not charge suppliers any fees, nor are there integration fees. We specialize in rapid, standardized onboarding of direct-fulfillment suppliers and their catalogs. Since we do not charge manufacturers for inclusion in our catalog, there is generally very little barrier in gaining compliance. Manufacturers control retailer access to their data which is a win for both them and the suppliers.
Because we offer both Direct and Brokered options and are indifferent to which you pick for each supplier, it also means that we can onboard your existing suppliers, integrate new manufacturers, and/or give you immediate access to our current supply base.
Doba API
The Doba API allows Retailers to access product data, submit orders, fund orders and follow orders through the fulfillment process programmatically.
The Doba API utilizes industry standard Web Services solutions that allow Retailers to automate the retrieval of product data and submittal of orders allowing for a seamless integration between the Retailers online presence and the fulfillment of orders through the Doba Inventory on Demand Platform.
The Doba API utilizes industry standard Web Services solutions, including SOAP and XML, in an effort to simplify the integration process and to ensure compatibility among software platforms.
Because the API operates as a Web Service, you are not limited to a specific set of web platform environments. Any platform that is able to communicate via SOAP or XML via HTTP POST requests can utilize the Doba API.
Previous API Versions
The Doba API is versioned to allow easy updates and additions without the need for you to imediately update a currently running integration.
Below are listed the previous versions of the Doba API. To link to a previous version click on the corresponding link.
Obtaining an API Account
If you are not working with a Doba account manager, please contact <firstname.lastname@example.com> to set up your account.
When you are ready to begin development you will be provided with account information for use in the sandbox environment as well as in the production environment. We ask that all development be performed using the sandbox. The sandbox is a separate server that mimics Doba's production server which allows you to develop your implementation without fear of impacting the production environment.

Top 10 iPad Games To Buy Right Now
With hundreds of games being uploaded each hour, the game selection for the iPad leaves you with plenty of options-unlike the launch of the iPhone. We've comprised a list of what we believe are the top 10 games for the iPad that are available RIGHT NOW.
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
Top iPad Game 1- Flight Control HD
Sells for $4.99 from Firemint. Why? It's the first game available in 3D! You'll need the cheap paper glasses found at movie theaters but the gaming experience is unreal
Top iPad Game 2 – Call of Duty: World at War Zombies
Sells for $14.99 from Activision Publishing, Inc. Why? While COD is one of the more expensive games at $14.99, it offers the best "console" experience to date on any portable device. Insane!
Top iPad Game 3 – NOVA
Sells for $9.99 from Gameloft. Why? You can't get any closer to multiplaying, FPS destroying action on a larger portable device. It's like a portable Xbox 360.
Top iPad Game 4 – Minigore HD
Sells for $4.99 from Chillingo. Why? If you are huge fans of Minigore like we are, additional levels, characters and HD gameplay on the iPad will have you sold as well.
Top iPad Game 5 – Real Racing HD
Sells for $9.99 from Firemint. Why? Real Racing was a huge success on the iPhone and pushed the boundaries of simulation on the iPhone. You can expect these bars to be pushed further once again, in stunning HD on the iPad.
Top iPad Game 6 – Harbor Master HD
Sells for FREE from Imangi Studios. Why? Harbor Master on the iPhone is an extremely addicting game. Now for the iPad, you can catch additional levels, challenges, multiplaying action, and more. Best of all, the app is FREE!
Top iPad Game 7 – Jelly Car 2
Sells for $2.99 from Walt Disney. Why? The original Jelly Car series on the iPhone is a very fun game for all ages. Now with a larger screen and upgraded jelly-ness, JC2 is sure to provide hours of entertainment for all ages…especially the kids during a long car ride.
Top iPad Game 8 – Labyrinth 2 HD
Sells for $7.99 from Illusion Labs . Why? Puzzle games are fun, especially when you toss physics into the mix. With a level editor to boot, Labyrinth 2 HD is a great sequel title in HD.
Top iPad Game 9 – Asphalt 5

Top iPad Game 10 – Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Sells for $9.99 from Activision Publishing . Why? Re-living your childhood memories from Nintendo 64 couldn't be any more fun. Now, Activision has made it possible.

The restoration of a 75-year-old auditorium on the University of Central Arkansas campus is under way.
Renovations of Ida Waldran include a lift that will allow access to the stage, new stage stairs, stage floor refinishing, refinishing of auditorium flooring, new seating installation, resurfacing of acoustical panels, and installation of brass railing around the orchestra pit and stage stairs.
The first phase of the renovations of Ida Waldran will be completed by the end of February. The auditorium is located in Old Main.
The condition of the auditorium has deteriorated due to years of budget constraints. The university received a $300,000 grant from the Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Council and funding from the UCA Student Government Association for the project. Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Council awards funds to preserve and maintain state-owned natural areas and historic sites.
"This is just the beginning to the list of changes that will be implemented in the year to come," said Gayle Seymour, associate dean of the College of Fine Arts and Communication and a member of the committee overseeing the renovations of Ida Waldran auditorium.
Ida Waldran auditorium was opened in 1937 and has become one of UCA's most recognizable facilities on campus. For more than 70 years, Ida Waldran has been the host location of significant people and events including the opening ceremonies of the Women's Army Corps Branch No. 3 in 1943, a vocal concert by President Truman's daughter, Margaret, and presentations by TV journalists Peter Jennings and Sam Donaldson as well as Presidents Ford and Clinton. The renovations will provide the city of Conway with a venue for community performing arts.
University officials plan to write a third grant for the renovation of the first-floor hallway, which will include restrooms.
Seymour said that the UCA community should be proud to have such an important building on its campus.
"Old Main is the oldest building on our campus and serves as the architectural inspiration for most of the other buildings on campus," she said. "The goal of this renovation project is to honor that history and restore Old Main and Ida Waldran as a focal point of the campus." – Lisa Burnett

Still scruffy looking
Harrison Ford would like to reprise his role as Han Solo. So, no matter how everything else turns out today, good news.
"Harrison is open to the idea of doing the movie and he's upbeat about it, all three of them are," said one highly placed source, referring to Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher, the trio that made a hyper-speed jump to global fame on May 25, 1977, the opening night for George Lucas's original Star Wars film.
But let's not go overboard with this.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you've likely read something about Google's new social offering, Google +. While Google has had a poor track record in the past with social media-based products (hello Dodgeball, Jaiku, Wave and Buzz), this one seems to be gaining some traction. Rather than rehash what it's about since there are media outlets/bloggers far more eloquent than me that have already done this including Chris Brogan, Mashable and the Wall Street Journal, I want to focus on a personal experiment I started last night.
The Experiment
Fortunately, I have about the same number of followers on Facebook as I do on Google + give or take a couple hundred. This is interesting given the fact that I've been on Facebook for five plus years and on Google + for all of 3 weeks.
At approximately 8:00 PM CT last night, I posted a simple question on Facebook and Google + as close to simultaneously as possible. I also made sure that I set my privacy for the post to "public" or "everyone" so that it was visible to as many people as possible. The question was, "What was your first concert."
Almost immediately, the responses started trickling in. However, what was most interesting was the fact that Google + got off to a big head start almost doubling the number of responses on Facebook. In fact, I received 48 of my 67 responses on Google + within 1 hour of posting to Facebook's 29 (out of an ultimate 70).
During the process, I had a few people point out that I was receiving a lot more comments on Google + versus Facebook so obviously a few people caught onto what I was trying to do. However, over the course of the next 20 hours, an amazing thing happened. Facebook caught up and ultimately surpassed Google +. And while Google + comments have started to peter out (only a few comments today), Facebook mentions continue to trickle in.
The Outcome
In spite of this little experiment's lack of statistical significance, I found it telling on a few different fronts. Here is my mini-synopsis of what happened and what it might mean for individuals and businesses using Google + (at least for the short term):
- There are a lot more early adopters on Google + so while I have the same number of followers on Google + and Facebook, the latter group more closely mimics the general population of the US. As you can imagine, early adopters tend to be more social so I wasn't surprised to see Google + outstrip Facebook out of the gate. What I found intriguing was how close the comment race was given Google +'s 10 million active users compared to 650 million on Facebook.
- Google + is new so it's too early to put "sharing" or edgerank algorithms like Facebook has that determine who sees what in which stream. If you weren't aware of this, you should be because it's a huge deal. What this means is that most of what you share on Facebook doesn't get seen by your full set of friends. If you are a business, chances are that people that have "liked" your page are only seeing a small fraction of what you post to your page. On Google +, this is still virgin territory so as Google opens up their offering to businesses (Ford is one of the few early beta cases), you should think about setting up shop for testing purposes.
- Because a lot of the talk on Google + right now is about, what else, Google +, my posting of a question that was not about the service itself seemed to resonate well.
- While I knew most of the people who commented on my Facebook update (that's partially a factor of my filtering my friends there), I didn't know a lot of the people that commented on my Google + post.
Does this experiment mean anything? Maybe not. But it does show that by creating engaging content or asking open-ended questions, you can tip the scales in your favor on Facebook. It also demonstrates that people on Google + — at least for the near future — are active and excited to engage with content that is not specifically about Google +. To that end, I'll be trying more experiments like this in the future to test out the effectiveness of and differences between Google + and Facebook.
Note, if you do want me personal thoughts on Google +, I shared them on yesterday's Quick'n'Dirty podcast along with guest co-host, Jim Storer.

text: Another mass shooting, another call for more gun control. The Prexy says he is unabashedly going to politicize the issue, in calling for more…more…well, he didn't say in his recent diatribe on the issue. We require gun collectors to have a federal firearms license to own certain so-called nasty weapons. We have background checks for most gun purchasers. In some cities, like Chicago, we have stringent gun control laws at the local level. We have year after year decline in gun violence according to FBI stats. And yet, we need more laws, more regulations to…to…well, we're not sure what but something must be done. Right? If we restrict access to guns, if we restrict the number of guns people can own, if we limit the number of rounds in a clip, this has to help. Right? After all, the argument goes, why do people need so many guns? Why do they need automatic weapons? I mean, come on, what is wrong with all of you? In Australia, the government has solved the problem by confiscating all the guns. Of course, as some have pointed out, to confiscate all our guns in this country would probably take 100 years. And with the cartels, for example, pouring guns across our non-existent border with Mexico, that would pretty much guarantee only the bad guys would have the guns. We could, of course, authorize our governments to forget about the pesky issues of the First and Fourth Amendments and simply allow the police to randomly search everyone and every place for our guns. And, of course, we can ignore the facts that establish that places like Chicago have some of the highest gun violence stats in the world, let alone the country. And of course, we have that outdated concept of gun ownership, embodied in the Second Amendment. Do we really need to own guns in today's society? Will we really need to raise a militia to protect ourselves in case we are ever invaded? After all, with our current foreign policy where we have disengaged, reduced our military and sit complacently behind our two oceans with apparently nothing to fear, is that likely? And why have guns to protect ourselves and our homes? The government will do that, right? We should enact more gun free zones and advertise their existence. That way, if some nut with a gun does go on a rampage, it will be in one of those places and the rest of us will be safe. After all, anyone who is stupid enough to go into a gun free zone deserves what they get, right? And trying to deal with the root causes of violence is just too difficult. It is much easier to deal with the instruments of violence than its root causes. The only problem I see is that after we take away everyone's guns, these crazy people will have to resort to better weapons of mass destruction. Soon, we will have to start worrying about crazies blowing up whole movie theaters with bombs. But, what the hell, one problem at a time.
