Women's boots have been worn for centuries, and are an indispensable component of women's footwear fashion. Our collection of Goodyear-welted women's boots meets the highest aesthetic and functional standards.
The historical roots of women's boots extend back to antiquity, and are closely related to those of their male footwear counterparts. Over the course of their reciprocally influential history, men's and women's boots were subjected to myriad influences in terms of design, materials, and, last but not least, production method. That being said, women's boots have been an essential part of classic fashion since the 17th century. They experienced a true renaissance in the 1890s, when women expressed increasing interest in sports previously reserved for men, such as croquet and badminton.
As a result skirt hemlines rose, or were replaced entirely by knickerbockers. Flat trotteurs and popular ankle boots were once more joined by women's knee-high boots, which featured a comparatively higher-reaching shaft. Although in the 1920s classic low-rise shoes proved more popular than boots, the latter came back onto the fashion scene in the early 1960s, paired with the miniskirts that had become all the rage.
Originally created to protect the foot and leg, women's boots serve a primarily aesthetic function today. As has always been the case, shoe lovers take the general term »boot« to mean shoes with a shaft that extends at least 5 to 10 centimetres above the ankle, often reaching the calf and occasionally extending over the knee. These days, the possibilities for classic women's boots are endless in terms of shaft height, closure type, and overall design.
Premium women's boots are distinguished by their processed leather components, among other features. When it comes to our Goodyear-welted models, not only the uppers are made of premium leather. The lining, insole, outsole, and heel are also crafted from vegetable-tanned cowhide.
Our boot collection is made all the more exclusive with the addition of soles made by Joh. Rendenbach in Trier—widely known as the best leather soles in the world. Our winter boots in turn impress with a stabilizing rubber lug sole as well as warm lining made of soft and cuddly lambskin.
Moreover, our collection of Goodyear-welted women's boots includes a wide range of models, colours, and leathers. From stylish boots to youthful Oxford- or Derby-style lace-up boots, classic knee-high boots to lined winter boots, our boots for women provide stylish looks for (virtually) every occasion, thanks to meticulous production, premium materials and refined designs.

Reliable plumbing and electricity are a must for in-home kidney dialysis. Also, it is important to have the vision quality to insert the dialysis needles into one's own skin. Staying with a regular schedule means that the patient must be motivated for this to work, as stated by ABC News.
As of 2012, out of about 5,700 dialysis centers in the United States, fewer than 25 percent provide training for home dialysis. People who have to go to a dialysis center for their treatments become the logistical hostage of the operating hours of those centers. This places limitations on their ability to hold down full-time jobs. Those centers that are willing to provide treatment end up giving their patients a much higher quality of life, reports ABC News.
Home dialysis has been a treatment option since 1980, but having a quality anchor center, which provides training, monthly checkups and emergency treatment, is crucial. This provides a needed support system for people who are responsible for their own treatment on a daily basis. As of 2010, only about 7 percent of dialysis patients were using home dialysis, but that number may continue to grow as training becomes more available, according to ABC News.

There is a new version of this tutorial available for Debian 9 (Stretch).
Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Debian Lenny (LAMP)
This tutorial exists for these OS versions
On this page
LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache2 webserver on a Debian Lenny server with PHP5 support (mod_php) and MySQL support.
I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
In this tutorial I use the hostname server1.example.com with the IP address 192.168.0.100. These settings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate.
2 Installing MySQL 5.0
First we install MySQL 5.0 like this:
aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client
You will be asked to provide a password for the MySQL root user - this password is valid for the user [email protected] as well as [email protected], so we don't have to specify a MySQL root password manually later on:
New password for the MySQL "root" user: <-- yourrootsqlpassword
Repeat password for the MySQL "root" user: <-- yourrootsqlpassword
3 Installing Apache2
Apache2 is available as a Debian package, therefore we can install it like this:
aptitude install apache2
Now direct your browser to http://192.168.0.100, and you should see the Apache2 placeholder page (It works!):
Apache's default document root is /var/www on Debian, and the configuration file is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. Additional configurations are stored in subdirectories of the /etc/apache2 directory such as /etc/apache2/mods-enabled (for Apache modules), /etc/apache2/sites-enabled (for virtual hosts), and /etc/apache2/conf.d.
4 Installing PHP5
We can install PHP5 and the Apache PHP5 module as follows:
aptitude install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
We must restart Apache afterwards:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
5 Testing PHP5 / Getting Details About Your PHP5 Installation
The document root of the default web site is /var/www. We will now create a small PHP file (info.php) in that directory and call it in a browser. The file will display lots of useful details about our PHP installation, such as the installed PHP version.
vi /var/www/info.php
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Now we call that file in a browser (e.g. http://192.168.0.100/info.php):
As you see, PHP5 is working, and it's working through the Apache 2.0 Handler, as shown in the Server API line. If you scroll further down, you will see all modules that are already enabled in PHP5. MySQL is not listed there which means we don't have MySQL support in PHP5 yet.
6 Getting MySQL Support In PHP5
To get MySQL support in PHP, we can install the php5-mysql package. It's a good idea to install some other PHP5 modules as well as you might need them for your applications. You can search for available PHP5 modules like this:
aptitude search php5
Pick the ones you need and install them like this:
aptitude install php5-mysql php5-curl php5-gd php5-idn php-pear php5-imagick php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-mhash php5-ming php5-ps php5-pspell php5-recode php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-tidy php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl php5-json
Now restart Apache2:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Now reload http://192.168.0.100/info.php in your browser and scroll down to the modules section again. You should now find lots of new modules there, including the MySQL module:
7 phpMyAdmin
phpMyAdmin is a web interface through which you can manage your MySQL databases. It's a good idea to install it:
aptitude install phpmyadmin
You will see the following question:
Web server to reconfigure automatically: <-- apache2
Afterwards, you can access phpMyAdmin under http://192.168.0.100/phpmyadmin/:
8 Links
- Apache: http://httpd.apache.org/
- PHP: http://www.php.net/
- MySQL: http://www.mysql.com/
- Debian: http://www.debian.org/
- phpMyAdmin: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/

Must say I had pretty tough time setting phpmyadmin according to his guide. Kept getting 404 error and server couldent find it until I did that:
cp /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/phpmyadmin
and then
a2ensite phpmyadmin
then reloading and restarting apache and it finally works. No idea what caused problems but it turned out to be only way to solve it.
I didnt have that problem at all, perhaps something you already had installed?
I also had some issues. Turns out the phpmyadmin install didn't make any include reference to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf on install (Possible that I didn't select to use apache2 as the web server to use during install, but I thought I did). Anyway, to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf I simply added:
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
And everything seems to work just fine.
This worked for me as well...thx Eyesnuke
Good resource.Helped.
Good resource.Helped.
Followed each step in the guide and was done and working in a few minutes. No issues.
Congratulations! For once a set of notes that were lear and worked perfectly first time. Thank you
These clear instructions worked perfectly with good debian sources. very helpful, especially configuring phpmyadmin after installation.
Great post. I'm on Debian 22.214.171.124 and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the help.
the best way to fix PHPMYADMIN not appearing on DEBIAN is to do the following:
first do: nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
then at the very end line add: Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
then restart apache2: service apache2 restart
and it should be good :)

This has been a remarkable week— one in which the core component of American philosophy has been rescinded, extended, and fiercely defended. Next week, we'll gather in backyards and town squares to celebrate the land of the brave and home of the free. When I celebrate, it will be with a deeper understanding of the bravery it takes to ensure freedom for everyone. I'll be reflecting on not just the events of this week, but the people at the center of them: the people whose freedom is most deeply affected. This week—this country—is about the freedom to vote, the freedom to marry, and the freedom to own body and soul.
The Freedom to Vote
Perhaps when I said that freedom has been rescinded I sounded a bit dramatic. After all, the Supreme Court's decision to strike down part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act doesn't prohibit anyone from voting. People of all races are still welcome at the polls.
Or are they?
The Voting Rights Act requires states with a history of discrimination to get federal approval before changing how they conduct elections; on Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled that the map on which voting coverage is based is outdated and cannot stand as part of the law. Congress needs to review the voting data—which is from 1972—and update the map. Sounds fine, in theory. In practice, as analyst Tom Goldstein puts it, "…it's probably the death knell of this provision." Congress is too divided to effectively redraw the map—and racism still motivates too many people in power.
The states covered by the Voting Rights Act are largely Southern states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. And in the South, racism is still very much in play when it comes to voting and power. As Michael Steele explains, "We should not be misled to believe that those States subject to the provisions of the Voting Rights Act have in place the political infrastructure to protect and guard against race-based denial of voting rights, whether intentional or unintentional."
Steele lists many such instances, including blatant efforts by some states to institute voter ID laws that effectively prevent African Americans from voting. Justice Ginsburg, in her dissenting opinion, cited one such power play in Mississippi, where a town canceled its election rather than risk electing black leaders (the Department of justice required an election—and sure enough, they elected black leaders).
So have voting rights been rescinded?
Not directly. But in practice, it will be a lot easier for racism to win at the polls, and a lot harder for many Americans to claim their freedom to vote.
The Freedom to Marry
Let freedom ring, baby! I am doing such a happy dance right now. In my post With Liberty and Justice for All I predicted that the issue of gay marriage would land at the Supreme Court, and that love and freedom would win the day. Although I believed that should and would happen, I didn't expect it to happen so soon. The fact that it did gives me great hope, and great joy.
Here's a quick rundown of Wednesday's Supreme Court decisions:
- On the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA): DOMA, which defines marriage as a purely heterosexual affair, denied benefits to spouses in same-sex marriages. The Supreme Court ruled that to do so is unconstitutional, infringing on the equal protection guaranteed by the Due Process clause of the Fifth Amendment. In other words, married is married is married—just ask Edith Windsor, the woman who lost her wife and then had to pay estate taxes a heterosexual spouse would not have paid. Her case made it all the way to the Supreme Court—and then made history.
- On Proposition 8: The Court also ruled that Proposition 8, a California ban on same-sex marriage, could not be legally defended in federal court. This means gay marriages will resume in California—the ban cannot stand. However, the court didn't decide that banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.
The combined effect of these two decisions mean that we are moving closer to acknowledging the validity (and even the sanctity) of gay marriage as a nation—but that we aren't there yet. State by state, love will still face intolerance. But you know what I think?
Love never fails.
The Freedom to Own Body and Soul
And then there's Texas, where Senator Wendy Davis filibustered SB-5 (which would have closed almost every abortion clinic in the state) for 11 straight hours. She was amazing, standing there in pink tennis shoes and telling the stories of women who needed abortions, many of them before either birth control or abortion was widely available. The stories of women who needed to make their own decisions about their bodies and their life paths—to own themselves and their destinies, body and soul. Wendy Davis just became my new heroine, because she fought so fiercely for our freedom.
Although she did block the bill, Texas governor Rick Perry is calling for a special session next week to try to pass the bill without filibuster despite the fact that 80% of Texans don't support it.
This freedom—the one women the world over have been struggling toward for centuries—is still very much on the line. Thanks to women like Senator Davis, I believe we will one day ensure that all American women can own their bodies and their decisions.

Ah yes, Walmart. The scene of so many stupid criminal stories, it should be used for reality TV. A woman from Seneca Falls, NY was arrested and charged with Felony DWI and Felony Aggravated DWI. So, was she turning up the vodka? Some moonshine? Hell, a few packs of Zima?
No to all three. She drank two bottles of vanilla extract. Yes, the same vanilla extract you use to make Bisquick edible. Carolyn Kessel, 46, was spotted driving erratically around a Walmart parking lot and was stopped.
Her reason for meandering around the parking lot? According to the police, she said she couldn't find a way out. I guess vanilla extract will get you completely hammered. Her blood alcohol content was measured at .26%, more than three times the legal limit.
Before you raid Costco for vanilla extract, use some common sense. Your typical bottle contains 41 percent alcohol, roughly on the same level as vodka. The intrepid reporters at the Times of Wayne County decided to have other extracts tested.
"We found out that things like orange extract and peppermint extract are up to 89 percent alcohol. That's 160 proof plus, that's far more than you can even find in even a liquor store."
That's just great. Something else to be carded for at the store. Trying to make a pie and get your ID checked. Thanks a ton Ms. Kessel. High school kids now have their insanely cheap drink.
With her two charges, and a prior DWI conviction, she's looking at a hefty fine and punishment. Her bail was set at $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond.
The good news? She did manage to get out of the Walmart parking lot. Small victories.

Like suede, the grass combed over the Irish hills of the Flinn Family Farm in a natural way, which looked inviting and warm. It was late in the day, which was one that had been drizzled upon four five hours prior to the boy's chores. Both of the Flinn boys looked like their father – skinny like steam and pastoral like a chimney stack – and they would stand beside each other at times and people would comment on the resemblance. In the field of dark greens the boys walked with wooden pails and staffs at their sides, and a dozen sheep at their heels. The youngest of the two, who stood below his brother's chest, liked the chore of leading the Reyland flock to the stream and woods for the night, and would wish them a good night with a whisper each time. He was like his father in that he would talk to the sheep.
As the crowd of talking animals wandered further away from the boys, the youngest stopped by his brother, who would click with his tongue at the sheep who would linger at his side.
"Stephan?" The youngest was looking up at his brother.
"Hep!" His brother spit. "Yes?"
"Why haven't we taken the ram in yet?"
"Because Father hasn't said to."
"But isn't this the time of year we take the ram in? We did at this time last year."
"Yes, this is the time. Chick! Ha, ha!"
"You see that one over there?" The little Flinn pointed to a young ewe, who stood off to one side of the social flock, licking at her knee. "I named her Megan."
Stephan looked with wrinkled eyes at the young sheep, her eyes sunk deep into her wool and cheeks.
"She looks ill. They're all ill, I think."
"She isn't ill. I like her. I like them all. Don't you like them?"
Stephan walked toward the rain-darkened trees. The backs of his legs were wet, and the wool jacket he wore was short. The youngest brother remembered his father wearing that jacket, and he remembered how it would smell like the air when it hung on the rack inside the door when it was dark outside and the fire made snapping sounds in the back room. His father would sing on those nights and Stephan and his brother would play cards on the floor.
Stephan took out a rolled cigarette from his pocket as he kicked and spit at the tail of a fat ewe. He lit the bundle of tobacco with a match and a cloud of gray-white smoke hung in the thick air. The little one hurried up beside his brother. The air smelled like autumn and like the taste of bitter tea.
"Stephan? Don't you like our sheep?"
"Yeah, I like them. I love them."
"Do you know what papa said to me?" He stood beside Stephan and set his pale down by his brother's, looking into the woods.
In the woods, the dirty-white of the sheep's coats moved around the trees in a motion the little Flinn thought would make a man sleepy, as their hushed calls ambled out of the pines.
"No, brother, what did Father say to you?" He looked at his brother and raised his eyebrows.
"Papa said that I remind him of our sheep. He said that I'm a 'rare breed,' and that I'm 'dignified.'"
"You don't even know what dignified means."
"No, but papa said that I'm dignified and he must know what it means. Do you know what it means?"
"Do you think I'm dignified?"
"You're too young to be dignified. Besides…"
"But papa said that I'm…"
"Yeah, well he says a lot of things. Like that we were going to go on holiday this past summer." Stephan spit again and smoked his cigarette.
"But we went to Aunt Marie's for that week, remember?"
"Hep! Get! Yeah, but we go to Aunt Marie's ever summer. And father didn't go – he stayed and worked, so it wasn't a holiday at all."
"But we didn't have to work that week and we got chocolate and we went fishing."
"Yes, but father stayed and worked."
The boys both looked at each other and back to the woods again. It was getting dark and Stephan took from his pack a small lantern.
"But he said that he had that family of gypsies stay with him and that they taught him how to speak to the sheep and they worked for him. And about the old gypsy who didn't have any eyes and traded papa a star for Grandfather's watch. That must have been like a holiday. And when we came back Aunt Marie said to papa how nice the house looked with the old stuff out of the yard and asked about the new irons. We got new irons that week."
Stephan lit the lamp and held it above his head, toward the trees. From the flicker of yellow light, which struggled as if with fear to reach the open areas, they could see a small male in the water of the moving stream. His head was pulled back in a strain, with his eyes and mouth open. It cried out a noise that made the little Flinn step back. Its coat was heavy with water and it touched its flanks. The male moved in a fit with the current and sunk lower – the fangs of the rippled water licking at its eyes.
Stephan stood, looking with the lamp held up. "Yes, I do think you're dignified."

Crimson Tide in McCain's Concession Speech
McCain's choice was more complicated. He stepped down from the podium to the battle hymn from Crimson Tide. On the one hand, the choice is obvious enough: McCain's campaign has been telling the story of an old, grizzled war hero returning for one last time of service to his country. In the same way, one of the protagonists from Crimson Tide is an old-school submarine captain (Gene Hackman) on his last tour of service who stops at nothing in the defense of his country. But here's where the choice gets complicated. Because Crimson Tide has 2 protagonists. One is the old, grizzled war hero (who happens to be white). The other is a younger officer on the submarine (who happens to be black, and is played by Denzel Washington), who lacks the years of experience of the old captain but has a clear head and the ability to cut through a difficult crisis to identify what needs to be done. In the film, these two confront a major crisis of national security and arrive at two very different responses. At the end after a bitterly fought battle between the two, the old white captain concedes to the young black officer, You were right, I was wrong, and they part on peaceable terms. Both are commended by the Navy for having pulled out all stops in their service to their country, in the finest tradition of American patriots.
So why music from Crimson Tide at McCain's concession speech? It seems almost to fit better with the story of the Obama campaign than with the story of the McCain campaign. Was this an honorable, bipartisan gesture? Or did someone on the campaign not think through the implications of the music they chose as a final salute to their candidate? What do you think?
One reason that this fascinates me is because I believe that elections are won or lost on the strength of the stories the candidates tell. This time around, Obama's story -- of change achieved together through clear reasoning and an understanding of history -- proved compelling to more voters than McCain's story of a man grown old in his country's service returning for one last stint. The skill with which each campaign told that story contributed to their victory or loss in the election -- and this disparity is visible in the critical choice of patriotic themes for the music of the acceptance and concession speeches.
Before anyone gets infuriated at this post, let me note that though I did not give him my vote, I have the highest respect for Senator John McCain. I agree with the president elect in commending this man who has sacrificed for his country in ways that "most of us cannot even imagine." Nor can I even begin to express the respect I have for a man who, when interred in a POW torture camp, refused to be released prior to soldiers who had been there longer.
So I invite thoughtful responses to this post and the questions it poises about the stories campaigns tell and how skillfully they tell them ... but if you are tempted to flame in the comments, please remember that many brave men and women have laid down their lives so that you and I would each have the right to vote based on our own conscience and our own assessment of who would be right for the job. This post is meant to invite comment not on political views but on the way that we tell the stories of our national leaders.

I foudn the choice of music quite apporpriate and told McCain's story for the same reason you thought it told Obama's. McCain had to concede that in this case the younger man had the support of the nation. He was the right man for hte job in the eyes of the system. McCain is a man of dignity, and his concession speach was respectful and memorable. I feel that his choice of music represented the nation and himself.

I also noticed the Crimson Tide music and found it amusing - and odd. After all, it explicitly suggests that we should compare McCain to Gene Hackman's character in the movie - a guy who was prepared to shoot one of his own officers in an attempt to start a nuclear war.
Even though the film makes it clear that Hackman's character was acting with the best intentions, it's the cool-headed Denzel Washington/Barack Obama who wins the day and averts nuclear catastrophe.
I could see Dems wanting to use the Crimson Tide music, but given McCain's "Bomb-bomb-Iran" singalong, it's easy to see it as an odd admission of the Republicans' itchy trigger fingers and poor judgement on matters of war.

Oh, it struck me as a clear message from McCain, a clear and gracious message, that he truly accepts Obama as the leader of this country. As soon as I heard the music and realize that it was the theme from Crimson Tide, I told my wife, 'Whoa, that's no random choice of theme music!'
I have liked McCain for a long time, even though he was a GOPer. I didn't vote for him, but I respected him. I couldn't say the same for Rudy, who is a disgusting individual. I respected the others, Romney, Brownback, Huckabee. But I had a special respect for McCain and still do.
McCain is a honorable man. I don't know if you can put honorable and politics together in the same sentence, but McCain and Obama almost give you hope that one day you could put these two words together without laughing.
I am black, a USNA grad, a life long democrat and an evengelical Christian. There are people who say you can't possibly be all of those things at the same time. They are wrong.
The most important thing to me is being Christian. That is a whole lot more than abortion and gay rights. Over the last sixteen years, I've been disappointed when the grace side of our beliefs were suppressed in the political discussions of how Christians should respond and given over to the law side of our beliefs. In Christianity, the law side condemns all men. The heart of our beliefs is that only on the grace side is salvation possible. In other words, nobody lives up to the law and without Jesus Christ on the cross, no one is saved.
The way that plays politically is that there is a balance to be sought in how you treat your fellow man. Do you hold him to the law or do you show grace or do you balance. I don't want people to sin, but I sin.
I can't speak for all black people, but as a black person, I can say for myself that I think the civil rights movement has been hijacked.
Back on subject, there could not have been a clearer signal that McCain is ready to work with Obama. So, again, he, McCain, is a hero, for at this time, doing what the country needs.
God bless you all.

As we all know that with the New Year comes resolutions, one of the most popular being to lose weight and get fit. Indeed, it is a profitable time of year for gyms to say the least, as membership purchases surge!
An attractive and inviting home gym will make the idea of a workout much more appealing!
However, not all of us enjoy fighting for a shower cubicle, waiting in line for your favourite machine or even the drive home afterwards past that tempting fast food drive-through.
Luckily, setting up a home gym is a lot simpler than you might think. As long as you have the space and know which equipment you will need, it should be no problem at all to build your own perfect home gym!
If you've got a spare room going, be it an unused bedroom, empty garage or abandoned loft, then this space can easily be converted into your ideal home gym. The size of the room should be able to comfortably accommodate the equipment you're looking to use. Exercise bikes, rowing machines and weights take up relatively little space whereas a treadmill, multi-gym or even a swimming pool will, unsurprisingly, need a bigger room.
If you're lacking a spare room, but have the space in your garden, consider building an outdoor gym with the help of a local builder. This takes advantage of unused space and will add to the value of your property if finished in good taste, not to mention it will also separate your workout from the distractions of home. To keep the room light and bright, you can add glass panels and windows to the structure which lets in more light and gives you a view of the outdoors!
If you have space to spare outdoors, you could even install a pool to go with your gym! These can again add value if given a professional layout and can be a brilliant addition to have when hosting parties or barbeques. Installing a pool will require a more hefty investment, however, and would involve hiring a landscape designer or architectural designer.
A pool could also lower the value of your property, so it is useful to get a consultation over the design. Consider your budget and research the costs for a pool which would suit your garden before you make a commitment!
If your room is lacking natural light or is tight for space, use light colours on the walls and decor to give it a bright and spacious feel. Whereas if you're looking for a more private, luxurious feel, you may prefer to look into darker tones for the walls and floor, although you should still try to introduce some lighter tones into the decorations. If in doubt, ask an interior designer for their opinion!
If budget is no issue, then there is an array of premium fitness equipment you can invest in. Look into what you need as well as what will compliment the room. The obvious choices for a home gym include a treadmill, cross trainer and multi-gyms, although to run these, you need to ensure you have enough power sockets in the room. You may need to hire a local electrician to source some more power!
For those truly dedicated to fitness and whom are looking to spend more time in this room, you may also want to consider an attractive mini-fridge to hold energy drinks and bars. A large mounted TV in front of the equipment can also be handy, not to mention a surround sound system for when you need some motivation! Large Mirrored walls can also be useful for checking stances when stretching and to keep an eye on your progress…
A pleasing home gym can still be achieved on a budget. First consider the entirety of your budget along with the essential equipment needed. Research your brands to find the best quality for a reasonable price and consider investing gradually to stretch the spending over time.
Equipment which does not require electricity is usually cheaper, so if savings are tight look into weights, skipping ropes and even yoga mats!

Back in July, we brought you news that Ubisoft's movie arm was planning an Assassin's Creed movie around actor Michael Fassbender. Now they've partnered up with production studio New Regency to continue the slow march to getting the eternal battle between Assassins and Templars to the big screen.
New Regency distributes their movies through twentieth Century Fox, meaning Ubisoft now at least has a firm way of getting the movie in front of eyeballs when it's ultimately completed. According to the press release, the deal allows Assassin's Creed to be fast-tracked while letting Ubisoft maintain creative control of the project.
But that's putting the cart filled with hay that you can leap of faith into before the horse, since the script is still in development, and no other talent beyond Prometheus star Fassbender has been announced as of yet.
Speaking of the Fass, he's starting to rack up franchises at this point, adding Assassin's Creed to his X-Men commitments and whatever Ridley Scott has planned for the Prometheus followup (both of those are at Fox as well).

How to "Unshrink" a Shrunken Sweater!
January 2, 2012 in Tips & Tricks
Happy New Year!!
So when I was in college for a fashion design degree, we had to purchase a book called More Fabric Savvy – A Quick Resource Guide to Selecting and Sewing Fabric by Sandra Betzina. The book is AWESOME…it includes all types of fabric, whether to preshrink the fabric or not, what needles to use on which fabric, what foot works best on that fabric, and many many more GREAT tips!! It's an excellent resource to have on hand if you are sewing a variety of fabrics!
One tip (among many) struck me as interesting; I've never needed to try it, but I thought it was worth sharing: "Want to "unshrink" a wool sweater? Gently boil the sweater in a solution of 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water for 30 minutes. Rinse with cool water and squeeze out excess. Dry flat. Despite the horrible smell while cooking, it works!" Excerpt from More Fabric Savvy – A Quick Resource Guide to Selecting and Sewing Fabric by Sandra Betzina. I didn't even know that this was possible! Let me know if you try it and how it turns out!!

The owners of a Dublin hotel deemed a public nuisance by city officials have agreed to close it for good this weekend.
The owners of a Dublin hotel deemed a public nuisance by city officials have agreed to close it for good this weekend.
America's Best Value Inn and Suites at 6364 Frantz Rd. will close at 9 p.m. Sunday after inspections showed repeated safety and sanitation problems and after city officials complained it had become a haven for criminals.
The hotel's owners put up a fight until yesterday afternoon, when attorneys representing Dublin-based Amin Hotels agreed to the closing rather than pay for a legal battle over the financially struggling hotel.
City officials and Judge Harland H. Hale of Franklin County Environmental Court agreed to allow the pair of two-story buildings to remain open temporarily to allow time to notify the hotel's 40 or so guests and its employees.
The hotel has a history of safety and sanitation problems. An inspection by county health and state fire officials in November found more than 200 violations, including dozens of moldy mattresses, bedbugs, exposed wires and faulty smoke detectors.
Follow-up inspections in May revealed that just two of 118 previous fire-safety violations had been corrected, and officials said management had ignored orders to remove mold-stained mattresses. Three were found in guest rooms inspected yesterday.
Police said the hotel also drew crime: Between the beginning of 2009 and May18 this year, 29 criminal charges were filed against individuals on the property. That compares with a total of 10 criminal charges at three nearby hotels in that period.
"In terms of Dublin, it just stuck out like a sore thumb," said Lt. John DeJarnette, who led a Dublin Division of Police probe into the hotel.
The department's work at the hotel isn't over. Yesterday's inspection also uncovered large amounts of cash in a handful of rooms.
Sanjay Bhatt, an attorney representing the hotel owners, said the 29 arrests represent a small fraction of the 20,000 customers who stayed at the hotel during the investigation. The owners were treated unfairly, he said.
Many of the fire-code violations, Bhatt said, were the fault of hotel residents who lived there long term; their cluttered belongings created a fire hazard.
"A lot of people have been displaced, and they're living in hotels," he said. "These are just people that needed a place to stay."
He described the hotel as "lower-end" but said it isn't a public nuisance and has improved since the inspection last fall.
As of yesterday, 48 of the 110 rooms at the hotel were closed to business because officials said they weren't sanitary, but the county's health department is allowing guests to remain in other rooms until the doors close on Sunday night.

Hungary is a mix of old and new Europe - fusing baroque architecture and grandeur with communist-era grittiness, nomadic myths and central European modernity. The country shares its borders with countries as diverse as Austria, Croatia, Serbia and Ukraine - and it sits in the territory once often referred to as Mitteleuropa. Hungary is a treasure trove in many senses - visitors will come across Roman ruins, medieval towns, Art Nouveau bathhouses and striking baroque churches, with Budapest being the crown jewel.

At night, holiday makers will find an eclectic mix of old and new - warehouses converted into chic upscale bars, snazzy terraces and the trendy 'ruin bars' - these bars are somewhat unique set in the ruins of Budapest's old Jewish Quarter, generally with a courtyard and several bars to take advantage of - 'Szimpla Kert' was the original and as good a place as any to start. If you feel the need to wind down on your trip to Budapest, then take advantage of the abundance of thermal waters by visiting an historic thermal bathhouse such as Széchenyi or the 16th century Rudas. In the western part of the country, another major holiday destiantion is Lake Balaton - the largest lake in Central Europe - boasting many resorts along its shoreline including Siofok and Heviz.

Mr. Freberg was born in 1926 in Pasadena, Calif., the only son of a Baptist minister. A self-described lonely child, he spent long hours listening to Fred Allen and Jack Benny on the radio and loved to perform comedy routines for his pet rabbits. After graduating from high school in 1944, he began supplying voices for Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoons. He was also the voice of the beaver in Walt Disney's "Lady & the Tramp" in 1955 and appeared in several movies, including "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World."
In 1950, Mr. Freberg emerged as a comedy recording artist with a Capitol record, "John & Marsha." He went on to parody many of the cultural trends of the day with a satiric version of the song "On Top of Old Smokey" in 1951, a send-up of crooner Johnny Ray's overwrought ballad "Cry" in 1952 and even a parody of the infamous U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy called "Point of Order." Probably his most successful comic record was a satiric version of the police show "Dragnet."
In the summer of 1957, Mr. Freberg and his stock company of performers starred in radio's final attempt to present a full-scale, weekly comedy variety show, "The Stan Freberg Show." It ran for 13 weeks and took deadly satiric aim at the advertising business.
As the creator of radio comedy shows and a recording artist, Mr. Freberg had already made a name for himself when adman Howard Luck Gossage persuaded him to start writing commercials in 1956. In 1957, Messrs. Gossage and Freberg, along with a third partner, J. Joseph Weiner, formed Weiner & Gossage in San Francisco.
During the second half of the 20th century, Mr. Freberg delivered many memorable campaigns and set the standard for humor in advertising. His accounts included Chun King, Jeno's Pizza, Sunsweet prunes ("Today the pits, tomorrow the wrinkles") and Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Mr. Freberg has said that he was sidetracked into the ad business from a successful career as a radio and TV satirist because he disliked the way most advertisers attempted to communicate with him as a consumer. In his book, "It Only Hurts When I Laugh," he wrote: "If you don't like an ad, why should anybody else? . . . We're all consumers. . . . That's why I always create commercials for myself first of all. I am the consumer I know best. If I think it's a great commercial, I figure the rest of the people might think so, too. I haven't been wrong so far."
By 2004, Mr. Freberg was still lending his voice to commercials and other projects.
Born in Los Angeles, Aug. 7, 1926; produced first comedy record, 1950; joined Howard Luck Gossage and J. Joseph Weiner to form Weiner & Gossage, San Francisco, 1957; established his own company, Freberg Ltd., in Beverly Hills, Calif., 1958.

A Ugandan opposition leader is facing charges for criticizing the Ugandan leader Yoweri Museveni.
Dr. Olara Otunnu, the leader of the opposition Uganda Peoples Congress party and a former United Nations Under Secretary General has been summoned by the Ugandan police twice this week to answer charges of promoting sectarianism. He has so far refused to answer the summons saying he has not broken any Ugandan law.
The charges stem from remarks Dr. Otunnu made on a local radio station where he accused the Ugandan president of aiding the war in northern Uganda.
"I have not committed any crime," said Dr Otunnu, "what I said is entirely in the public domain. In terms of criticizing the government; in terms of stating the political situation in Uganda, so everything I said about the genocide committed in northern Uganda by Mr. Museveni, all the atrocities in Luwero, and the torture chambers, is true.
He said he can back up all his assertion with information and evidence and that the crime the police claim he committed does not exist in the penal code of Uganda.
Otunnu was early this week served with police summons to answer charges of criminal defamation of the Ugandan leader. Later in the week he was summoned again to answer another charge of promoting sectarianism referring exactly to the same remarks.
"In both instances I see no crime I committed. I am happy to appear before a court of law to answer any alleged charges but I am not going to appear at the police headquarters to be interrogated by the police."
Otunnu described the charges as a case of political harassment and persecution.
He, however, said the police are a victim itself because it is under directive from Museveni "to get me no matter how and no matter what the law says."
The police, he said, "are corrupted and the role of the police is being abused by Mr. Museveni."
The former diplomat said he is a law abiding citizen. "I will comply with all the laws of Uganda but I will not assist Museveni in breaking the laws of the country. I will not assist him in corrupting the police."
He vowed to expose the "layers of lies and terror" during the reign of Museveni and to set the people of Uganda free and that process begins with telling the truth."
The police have reportedly forwarded the file involving Otunnu's case to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Kizza Besigye, the head of Uganda's largest opposition party, is also being investigated for claiming the government secretly leased Lake Kyoga in central Uganda to a South African company.
Uganda's general elections are scheduled for February 2011, and Museveni is again expected to seek re-election after presidential term limits were scrapped in 2005.
Otunnu and Besigye are currently campaigning independently but they are expected to formally join forces in September.

Do you know what Web Security App is?
There are many unsafe places on the Internet, and Web Security App says it will alert you whenever you visit a malicious website. But this program itself may display you ads with redirect links to infected pages. Web Security App only hides behind sweet-sounding promises, but it is an adware application that should be removed from your system. The application is supported by unreliable third parties, and any third-party content you may encounter while using this program could be crucial to your system.
Probably you have no idea how this adware application has found a place on your device. This is because Web Security App is distributed in bundles with freeware applications. We always recommend that people download everything only from official distributors and do not use file sharing websites. Of course, it is possible to deselect all the unwanted applications that come together with the downloaded program. Unfortunately, only a minority of Internet users share this useful habit. Others skip the pages of the installation wizard without paying any attention to what is written there.Web Security App screenshot
Scroll down for full removal instructions
During the tests conducted in our internal laboratory, we have found a very interesting thing about Web Security App. We decided to take a closer look at such documents as the EULA, and the Privacy Policy of this application. What caused our surprise is that both these texts were identical to the similar documents of Harvest Savings. The latter application was also recently reviewed by us. One application is meant to increase your browsing security and the other to help you find the best promotional codes. But in reality, all they do is show you ads thus trying to be profitable for their creators.
Harvest Savings is not the only application identical to Web Security App. The latter program is a clone of ProShopper, Sliding Coupons, and some other adware applications. All of them may show you banners, pop-ups, and video targeted ads. Those advertisements may offer to buy goods that look useful to you. This is because those program spy on you using cookies and gather information on the things you search on the Web. You should be aware that Web Security App works with third parties and discloses information it collects about you to them. If the abovementioned third parties use your personal data for their illicit goals, it is only you who takes all the risks. Moreover, by clicking on any ad provided by the adware program, you will enter the territory where rules of unknown third parties are applied. And Web Security App is not responsible for any possible outcome you may face while continuing to use the program.
The usual way of eliminating undesirable applications through Control Panel works with Web Security App as well. You will find it as a very simple task in case you follow our guide. But other malicious programs that may already be on your computer are not so easy to deal with. You will need a trustworthy defensive tool that will help you eliminate all the threats. Please have in mind that new infections are created on a daily basis, so your antimalware scanner should be always updated to the latest version.
How to remove Web Security App
Windows 7 or Windows Vista
- Access the Start menu and open Control Panel.
- Go to Uninstall a program and remove Web Security App.
Windows XP
- Click the Windows logo in the bottom left corner of the screen.
- Open Control Panel and access Add or Remove Programs.
- Eliminate Web Security App.
Windows 8 or Windows 8.1
- Right-click the Windows logo on the Taskbar.
- Select Control Panel.
- Open Uninstall a program and get rid of Web Security App.
Windows 10
- Simultaneously press the Windows key + X.
- Click on Programs and Features.
- Uninstall Web Security App.
In non-techie terms:
Web Security App is a program that should be deleted from your system as soon as you find out about its presence. The application does not fulfill its promise to protect you from entering infected websites. Moreover, you may find yourself on malicious pages in case you use the application. Ads generated by Web Security App may contain redirect links that lead to websites controlled by untrustworthy third parties. Elimination of this program would prevent you from many potential online problems.

Natalie Gumede not returning to Corrie
- Bang Showbiz
- 6 March 2014
Former 'Coronation Street' star Natalie Gumede says she isn't returning to the soap despite a new storyline involving her character KIrsty Soames
Natalie Gumede is not returning to 'Coronation Street'.
The 29-year-old actress, who played Tyrone Dobbs' abusive girlfriend Kirsty Soames, insists she won't be returning to the Manchester-based soap following news that her character will be released from prison.
In a new storyline, Tyrone (Alan Halsall) fears Kirsty is trying to unleash fresh torment on him as he begins receiving suspicious text messages which are signed off by 'K'.
However, it seems Kirsty won't be seen on screen as Natalie isn't returning to the show.
She wrote on Twitter: "Lots of people asking today if I'm returning to Corrie - no plans to lurk in any Weatherfield shadows or alleyways at the mo :) (sic)"
While Tyrone suspects Kirsty is behind the threatening messages, a soap insider reveals that the true culprit will likely be "someone closer to home".
Natalie left the soap last year following a riveting abuse storyline involving ex-police officer Kirsty and Tyrone, which culminated in her being sent to prison.
Tyrone will be seen begging local builder Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies) to help secure his house with new locks due to the sinister text messages.
He says: "I need some work doing urgently - new locks, bolts on the front and back door and a good burglar alarm.
"I've had a call - Kirsty's been released.
"No conditions no warnings, she can just turn up at any time, which is why I need this doing urgently."

Message-Passing Programming with MPI @ EPCC
2-3 October 2014
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Europe/Amsterdam timezone
Registration Form
Evaluation Form
Please note the course will be held in Amsterdam:
The world's largest supercomputers are used almost exclusively to run applications which are parallelised using Message Passing. The course covers all the basic knowledge required to write parallel programs using this programming model, and is directly applicable to almost every parallel computer architecture.
Parallel programming by definition involves co-operation between processes to solve a common task. The programmer has to define the tasks that will be executed by the processors, and also how these tasks are to synchronise and exchange data with one another. In the message-passing model the tasks are separate processes that communicate and synchronise by explicitly sending each other messages. All these parallel operations are performed via calls to some message-passing interface that is entirely responsible for interfacing with the physical communication network linking the actual processors together. This course uses the de facto standard for message passing, the Message Passing Interface (MPI). It covers point-to-point communication, non-blocking operations, derived datatypes, virtual topologies, collective communication and general design issues.
The course is normally delivered in an intensive two-day format using EPCC's dedicated training facilities. It is taught using a variety of methods including formal lectures, practical exercises, programming examples and informal tutorial discussions. This enables lecture material to be supported by the tutored practical sessions in order to reinforce the key concepts.
Intended Learning Outcomes On completion of this course students should be able to:
Understand the message-passing model in detail.
Implement standard message-passing algorithms in MPI.
Debug simple MPI codes.
Measure and comment on the performance of MPI codes.
Design and implement efficient parallel programs to solve regular-grid problems.
Pre-requisite Programming Languages:
Fortran, C or C++.
It is not possible to do the exercises in Java.

Is the Essential Phone Worth $500?
The Essential Phone had a rocky launch last year after many reviewers dismissed the phone for its sub-par camera performance and relatively high price tag. Several months have passed, so we thought to revisit the device after several updates were issued and the price cuts were made. For $500 off-contract, do you think the Essential Phone is worth it?

I am new to this site I hope that I have posted this in the correct place if not please send to the correct site. After looking for days and hours I have finally found a place where I can get help.

Here is a link that does a similar thing with rolls:
Another idea rather than varnishing the bread would be to make it ahead and freeze the loaves until they are needed. That way each table could take home a loaf of fresh bread and it would be edible. You could buy some cheap plastic platters and arrange the bread in the middle with fresh parsley, fruits and vegetables around them.
I've never done this but as far as varnishing goes, you will want to dry the bread as much as possible by leaving it in a warm (150-200 degrees F) oven until it is very hard. Then spray with varnish or paint with shellac. The dryer it is, the longer it will last.
Sounds like a neat idea for your reunion. Best of Luck with this.
Hi Char, I hope you come back to this site and see my post. I want to varnish a loaf of fresh baked bread to use as a decoration and came here and saw your post. I was wondering if you were successful in your attempt.
I would like mine to last a very long time since it would be part of a decoration I plan to sell.
I was getting no where till I came here and say your post. Sorta funny that someone else wanted to do varnished bread also, I'm sure that doesn't happen often. If I don't get any feedback then I guess I will just have to give it a try and see how it turns out. I read Susan's post and will follow her directions on drying out the bread real good first.
I see someone else has felt the need to preserve a loaf of bread by varnishing it. I was sure I was the only one. If anyone can give some advice it would mean a lot because the bread is a keepsake.
Did you find out how to preserve bread if so please share! Thanks
I need bread every year for a live nativity and so I've decided to buy or make a few loaves every year, dry & varnish them so eventually I'll have tons. I have been letting the ones I bought for the 2007 nativity dry for a few weeks now. Getting ready to buy varnish and try it out. Did anyone have a non-shiny varnish to reccomend that would work well?

A 15-year debate about plans to extend Frankfurt International Airport into nearby woodland erupted this month into scenes resembling civil war. Hooded youths barricaded freeways, catapulted steel pellets at police, and hurled Molotov cocktails - all in the name of ecology. The cause was the State of Hesse's stubborn insistence on enforcing its legal right to chop down 300,000 trees and build a 2.5-mile concrete runway designed to keep the airport internationally competitive in the 1980s.
But last weekend's fierce clashes may just have spawned the seeds of a compromise, for both sides seemed genuinely shocked at what they had done. The conflict, known locally as the ''Battle of Startbahn West'' (West runway), highlights West Germany's problems in weighing a staunch attachment to the rule of law against respect for the rights of aggrieved minorities.
The antirunway campaign began more than a decade ago as a suburban movement uniting anxious citizens concerned about noise and air pollution, preserving scarce woodland, and protecting the value of their property. But it escalated into a relentless battle of wills between the modern industrial state and its critics.
Supporters of the $60 million extension say the extra 15 percent capacity it will provide is essential if Frankfurt is to maintain its place as Europe's second-busiest airport. Flight delays have become so frequent that major airlines are threatening to desert Frankfurt, putting many of the airport's 32, 000 jobs at risk, they say.
Opponents argue the runway would only fractionally increase capacity at a time when world air traffic is contracting anyway - and this at the cost of untold damage to Frankfurt's already troubled environment. The financial metropolis with a population of some 700,000, was bombed to rubble in World War II and has a chronic shortage of green space.
But it is a war of faith rather than figures, pitting disaffected youth against hardened politicians and job-conscious trade unionists in a standoff similar to West Germany's running conflicts about nuclear energy and NATO's nuclear weapons.
The antirunway movement has long been an uneasy coalition between worried citizens, genuine ecologists (the so-called ''greens'') and radicals (nicknamed the ''red greens''). In what looked like a desperate bid to prevent the inevitable, they got up a petition with more than 220,000 signatures recently to have the issue decided by a referendum.
State Premier Holger Borner dismissed the move as unconstitutional, and unless the Hesse Supreme Court overrules him, the protesters will have reached the end of their road in legal efforts to have the airport extension scrapped. A private opinion poll conducted for the state government shows that even if a referendum were held tomorrow, 60 percent of the local electorate would still vote for the runway.
The signs are that the protesters realize this and are turning instead to civil disobedience.
Mr. Borner decided not to sit back and let justice take its plodding course. In a surprise move, he sent 5,000 battle-dressed riot police into the woods last month to demolish a makeshift village of wooden huts built by demonstrators in the path of the proposed runway. The government was acting within its rights, but its tough stand set off a chain reaction of violence in which both policemen and protesters ran wild. On the antirunway side, the ''red green'' radicals took over.
A police force driven to the edge of tolerance by some 600,000 hours of overtime this year because of the airport issue swung its batons with almost desperate fury, sparing neither journalists nor bystanders. In two weeks of almost daily clashes, hundreds of people were injured and damage ran to millions of dollars.
West German commentators, stunned by the violence, seemed perplexed at the passions unleashed by the runway issue and unable to focus on anything except the threat to the rule of law. The lack of flexibility on both sides, thwarting patient mediation efforts by the Lutheran Church, had turned a nagging local conflict into a bitter national confrontation in which both sides were utterly convinced of their own rectitude.
The margin for compromise is slim, since as one local official said, ''You can't build half a runway.''
But there may just be a way out. If concerned citizens can regain control of their movement from the radicals, and if Mr. Borner's shaky government feels able to make concessions without losing face, they might agree to a symbolic tree-felling stop for the few weeks until the Hesse Supreme Court rules on the legality of a referendum.

These white chia seeds have all the nutrition of traditional chia, but many consumers prefer the white seeds as they do not darken the look of smoothies, milk shakes, or other drinks. The tiny chia seed (Salvia hispanica) hails from Mexico where it is a closely related member of the mint family. Chia Seeds absorb ten times their weight in water making you feel fuller, so you eat less. Chia Seeds are the richest plant source of Omega-3. This nutrient protects your body from inflammation-such as arthritis-and heart disease. Chia seeds also have among the highest antioxidant activity of any whole food-even more than fresh blueberries. You can add ground chia seeds to cereal, baked goods, or smoothies. They have a mild, nutty flavor and a tender crunch.
Nutritionists have long touted the health benefits of raw foods. The "Raw" logo indicates that the food was not heated above 118�F, which is the temperature at which many beneficial enzymes are believed to be destroyed. Raw foods contain more usable nutrients than their "cooked" counterparts, along with being easily absorbed by the body.

What's New in WPF Version 4
New Controls
이 컨트롤들은 Silverlight 와 100% 호환 가능하다. 이로 인해서 개발자들이 코드를 재사용 가능할 뿐만 아니라 클라이언트 및 웹 버전의 어플을 빠르게 만들 수 있다.
Visual State Manager
WPF 는 ControlTemplate 안에 Visual State 들의 전환을 위한 더 나은 Support 을 제공한다. VisualStateManager 클래스와 이를 support 하는 클래스들이 추가되었고 이로 인해 MS Expression Blend 에서 컨트롤의 Visual State 에 따라서 외모를 정의할 수 있게 되었다. 예를 들어, Button 컨트롤이 Pressed State 에 있을 때 외모를 정의할 수 있게 되었다.
For more information about creating a ControlTemplate that uses the VisualStateManager for an existing control, see Customizing the Appearance of an Existing Control by Creating a ControlTemplate. For information about creating a new control that uses the VisualStateManager, see Creating a Control That Has a Customizable Appearance.
Elements can take advantage of the VisualStateManager outside of a ControlTemplate by using the GoToElementState method.
Touch and Manipulation
Elements in WPF now accept touch input. The UIElement, and UIElement3D, and ContentElement classes expose events that occur when a user touches an element on a touch-enabled screen. The following events are defined on UIElement and respond to touch input. Note that these events are also defined on UIElement3D and ContentElement.
In addition to the touch events, the UIElement supports manipulation. A manipulation is interpreted to scale, rotate, or translate the UIElement. For example, a photo viewing application might allow users to move, zoom, resize, and rotate a photo by touching the computer screen over the photo. The following events have been added to UIElement:
To enable manipulation, set the IsManipulationEnabled to true. For more information about touch, see Walkthrough: Creating Your First Touch Application.
Graphics and Animations
Several changes have been made related to graphics and animations.
Layout Rounding
When an object edge falls in the middle of a pixel device, the DPI-independent graphics system can create rendering artifacts, such as blurry or semi-transparent edges. Previous versions of WPF included pixel snapping to help handle this case. Silverlight 2 introduced layout rounding, which is another way to move elements so that edges fall on whole pixel boundaries. WPF now supports layout rounding with the UseLayoutRounding attached property on FrameworkElement.
Cached Composition
By using the new BitmapCache and BitmapCacheBrush classes, you can cache a complex part of the visual tree as a bitmap and greatly improve rendering time. The bitmap remains responsive to user input, such as mouse clicks, and you can paint it onto other elements just like any brush.
Pixel Shader 3 Support
WPF 4 builds on top of the ShaderEffect support introduced in WPF 3.5 SP1 by allowing applications to now write effects by using Pixel Shader (PS) version 3.0. The PS 3.0 shader model is more sophisticated than PS 2.0, which allows for even more effects on supported hardware.
Several changes have been made related to text.
New Text Rendering Stack
The WPF text rendering stack has been completely replaced. This change brings improvements to text rendering configurability, clarity, and support for international languages. The new text stack now supports explicitly selecting aliased, grayscale, or ClearType rendering modes. The text stack now supports display-optimized character layout, to produce text with sharpness comparable to Win32/GDI text. The new text stack allows optimizing text hinting and snapping for either animated or static text. The new text stack also supports fonts with embedded bitmaps to be substituted for smaller font sizes, allowing many East Asian fonts to render with sharpness comparable to Win32/GDI text.
Selection and Caret Customization
Various changes and enhancements have been made related to binding.
Bind to commands on InputBinding
You can bind the Command property of an InputBinding class to an instance that is defined in code. The following properties are dependency properties, so that they can be targets of bindings:
The InputBinding, MouseBinding, and KeyBinding classes receive data context from the owning FrameworkElement.
Bind to Dynamic Objects
WPF supports data binding to objects that implement IDynamicMetaObjectProvider. For example, if you create a dynamic object that inherits from DynamicObject in code, you can use markup extension to bind to the object in XAML.
Bindable Text Run
Run..::.Text is now a dependency property. The main advantage is that it now supports one-way bindings. It also supports other features of dependency properties, such as styling and templating.
XAML Browser Applications
Two features have been added to XAML browser applications (XBAPs).
HTML-XBAP Script Interop
You can now communicate with the Web page containing the XBAP when the application is hosted in a HTML frame. The XBAP can get deep access to the HTML DOM and can handle DOM events. For more information see BrowserInteropHelper.
Full-Trust XBAP Deployment
If your XBAP requires full trust, the user will now automatically receive the standard ClickOnce elevation prompt when they install the application from the intranet or one of their browser's trusted sites.
For more information on both these features, see WPF XAML Browser Applications Overview.
WPF and Windows
The Windows 7 taskbar provides enhanced functionality that enables you to use the taskbar button to communicate status to a user and expose common tasks. New types in the System.Windows.Shell namespace provide managed wrappers for functionality in the Windows 7 taskbar and manages the data passed to the Windows shell. For example, the JumpList type allows you to work with Jump Lists and the TaskbarItemInfo type allows you to work with taskbar thumbnails.
WPF dialog boxes on Windows 7 and Windows Vista now support the look and feel of the Windows 7 and Windows Vista style, which includes custom places. For more information, see the FileDialogCustomPlace class.
WPF and Silverlight Designer
In Visual Studio 2010, various designer improvements have been made to help create WPF or Silverlight applications.
Improved Support for Silverlight
In Visual Studio 2008, you could install the Silverlight Tools to create Silverlight applications in Visual Studio. However, the designer support for Silverlight projects was limited. In Visual Studio 2010, the designer support for Silverlight and WPF projects are now the same. For example, in Silverlight projects you can now select and position items with the mouse on the design surface.
Support for Multiple Platform Versions
In Visual Studio 2008, control design times were able to target only the latest WPF platform version. In Visual Studio 2010, this support is extended across multiple platforms, including design-time support for WPF 3.5, WPF 4, Silverlight 3, and future platform releases. As the same extensibility API exists for all these platforms, control design-time authors can easily write one experience and share it across the control runtimes for each platform.
Visual Databinding
The new data binding builder enables visual construction and editing of bindings without typing XAML.
Auto Layout
Layout improvements include a more intuitive Grid designer and better support for automatically sizing user controls.
Improved Property Editing
The Properties window now enables visually creating and editing Brush resources.
For more information, see WPF Designer.

There's a lot to be said, and little to be said about Jason Masi's new album 'Balance & Pull'. It will certainly appeal to the crowd that it can (and a bit more than that as well)…
Jason Masi is someone you want to get to know, become familiar with his sounds, his lyrics, and then go find him at as many outdoor music festivals as possible! His show would be one of those great late-night 'let's mellow out and enjoy' moments in life, one of those that you can sing along to!
Straightforward, mildly produced (but well-produced) acoustic-driven pop. In the realm of Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson…. you just won't have the urge to dance so much as merely bob your head!
LoveSound Rating – 6/10
Favorite Tracks – 'Dust & Bone' & 'Balance & Pull'

Milwaukee is served by General Mitchell International Airport (MKE). Southwest has direct flights to MKE, and it's served by United, American, and a number of other airlines.
In addition, Milwaukee is relatively close to Chicago - about 90 miles. You could fly into O'Hare (ORD) or Midway (MDW). Depending on the time of day, it's an easy 90 minute drive - or a god-awful mess of stop-and-go commuting. Try for the former.
If you fly in to one of the Chicago airports, you can take a coach bus to downtown Milwaukee. Departures are relatively frequent.
Regardless of how you get to Milwaukee, make sure you'll be ready to start by about 9:30am on Thursday June 1. After our recital on Sunday, we'll have a group dinner. So, if you want the full experience, count on arriving Wednesday May 31, and leaving Monday June 5.
Airport Transportation
Mitchell Airport has the standard set of car rental agencies, all of which have in-airport counters.
Taxis are available outside Baggage Claim 3. Expect the cab fare to be $40-50.
Uber and Lyft are available outside Baggage Claim 2
Depending on traffic, the trip via taxi/car/Uber to our rehearsal venue should take about 15-20 minutes.
Public Transportation is available through the Green Line bus, outside Baggage Claim 1. The bus stop that is at North Ave and Oakland Avenue is about three blocks west of our rehearsal space. As of April 2017, fares are $2.25 one way; however, with the pre-purchased M-Card, one-way fares are $1.75. You can buy a one-day or seven-day pass, or simply add cash to the card. More details about the M-Card here.
(Note that there are actually a variety of fares available, depending on your age. Fare details here.)
Check the MKE airport website for the most up-to-date information about ground transportation.

Searching for inspiration, we attended the Permaculture Voices conference this weekend, and boy did we find it! We were surrounded by wonderful people, all striving and working (and succeeding!) to create a healthier, safer, more-sustainable world. In that same vein, read on about: heroes for the soil; positive movement on toxics laws in California; the healing power of the natural world; and Arianna Huffington's paradigm-shifting book. We've also got a few things that will motivate us to keep on fighting! Have a great week, Warriors!
