WPF Build A Window, With Style
Part 3
However, the first part is not essential (but recommended) and I include a full copy of the necessary code from that part.
In order to continue the tutorial I need to adopt a quite personal approach. WPF is quite big and I want to break it down into manageable chunks. To this end, some subjects are only introduced briefly. (I do provide some useful links for you to pursue.)
I also have a specific objective: I want to continue concentrating on XAML-only features. That is, to try as far as possible to distinguish between what XAML alone is capable of, and what requires coding.
Topic List
- Menu and ApplicationCommands
- Toolbar, Image-Resources and Simple Binding
- StatusBar and Simple Property-Binding
- Brief Intro: Canvas, Ellipse, Path
- Inline Styles, DynamicResources and DataTriggers
- Expander and Transforms
WPF tutorials like to show off the capabilities of WPF: Arbitrary nesting of controls, 3D effects, animations, and more. I won't be distracted by these topics. These are large topics which can be deferred.
I am still not attempting to build an Application. The completed Window still doesn't do a great deal, apart from introducing features.
General Hint: Keep an open mind with WPF. In particular, we will often have a choice to do something either in XAML or code (or a combination of the two) and the decision is not clear-cut. (This is particularly disorientating when coming from WinForms, where the choices are fewer and more obvious.)
Up and Running
Start a new application which I called, imaginatively, ProgrammersWPF2. You can copy the two files below to get up-and-running, which include the following slight changes from the original application:
Slight Changes:
- Margin setting moved into Control-Style
- Styles moved into Application Resources
- Some Style Triggers removed, particularly the glow-effect
- An extra column is added to the Grid.
These changes are not essential (apart from the new column) and you can, if you prefer, continue with the previous version of the application.
If you run the application it should look like this:
The end result will look like this:
Why is there a smiley-face? I wanted to introduce Shapes. (The close button is added in part 3.)
Menu and ApplicationCommands
We will add a Menu and MenuItems to our window.
<DockPanel> <Menu DockPanel.Dock="Top"> <MenuItem Header="_File"> <MenuItem Header="_Exit" /> </MenuItem> <MenuItem Header="_Edit"> <MenuItem Header="C_ut" Command="ApplicationCommands.Cut" /> <MenuItem Header="_Copy" Command="ApplicationCommands.Copy" /> <MenuItem Header="_Paste" Command="Paste" /> <!-- 'ApplicationCommands' will be searched --> <MenuItem Header="_Toggle Me" IsCheckable="True" Name="menuItemToggle" /> </MenuItem> </Menu>
Our DockPanel only contained a Grid. Now that it will contain other controls we need to use the DockPanel.Dock attribute. Add DockPanel.Dock="Top" to the Grid as well, so that it will sit beneath the Menu.
Note: I used a StackPanel for the navigation buttons (Next, Previous) but we can generally choose to use either a DockPanel or StackPanel. Choose Between StackPanel and DockPanel :MSDN.
In WinForms the ampersand (&) was used to identify an accelerator key. That is, pressing the single-letter that followed the ampersand would choose that option if the menu was active. If the menu is not active then pressing Alt-and the letter chooses that menu option. The ampersand has a different meaning in XAML/XML so WPF uses an underscore.
However, it doesn't behave well in my opinion. (At least, not by default.) The letter F in File is not underlined so it is not apparent that we can press Alt-F to activate this menu. (We have to press Alt before we see this.) Similarly, the letters of Cut, Copy and Paste are not underlined unless we use Alt-F to activate the menu and use the right-arrow to move to the Edit menu. This is by design and if we want the underline to always appear we need to go to Window's Ease of Access Center and choose "underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys".
The Menu doesn't inherit the font and font-size that we set in the Window-Style, in App.xaml, so I added the following settings in the Mainwindow.xaml's window.Resources:
<window.Resources> <Style TargetType="Menu"> <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Verdana" /> <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12" /> </Style> <Style TargetType="MenuItem"> <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center" /> <Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="26" /> </Style> </window.Resources>
Homework: Move these into the Application.Resources, they make more sense as application-wide settings.
Rather than the more traditional event-handlers of WinForms we have the opportunity to create or use Commands:
<MenuItem Header="C_ut" Command="ApplicationCommands.Cut" /> <MenuItem Header="_Copy" Command="ApplicationCommands.Copy" /> <MenuItem Header="_Paste" Command="Paste" /> <!-- 'ApplicationCommands' will be searched -->
There is an in-built list of ApplicationCommands that we can use, such as Cut, Copy and Paste. These don't require any code. As long as we have some text selected, typically in a TextBox, then Cut and Copy are available and work as expected.
This looks a promising innovation. However, the example in the linked page only demonstrates Paste. If you read through some of the other commands you'll discover that a lot of them don't have a default implementation. It requires us to provide a meaning and context for, for example, New and Print.
We can create Custom Commands, which I do in Part 3.
Commanding Overview :MSDN
Toolbar, Image-Resources and Simple Binding
We will add a Toolbar, which sits in a ToolBarTray. Here is the code but you should obtain images beforehand, discussed below:
</Menu> <ToolBarTray DockPanel.Dock="Top"> <ToolBar> <Button Command="ApplicationCommands.Cut"> <Image Source="Resources\Cut.png" /> </Button> <Button Command="ApplicationCommands.Copy"> <Image Source="Resources\Copy.png" /> </Button> <Button Command="ApplicationCommands.Paste"> <Image Source="Resources\Paste.png" /> </Button> <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Mode=TwoWay, ElementName=menuItemToggle, Path=IsChecked}" Content="Toggled?" /> </ToolBar> </ToolBarTray>
This is Docked at the Top (of the DockPanel) but will sit underneath the Menu because it follows it in the document order.
As with WinForms, we can add images as Resources from the Project menu, ProjectName Properties.., Resources tab. We can drop images onto this surface.
Visual Studio 2010 (and 2008, 2005) already contains the Visual Studio Image Library.
MSDN said:
The Visual Studio Image Library is installed on your computer together with Visual Studio. To access the files in the image library, you must extract them from VS2010ImageLibrary.zip. This file is typically installed in ..\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\VS2010ImageLibrary\1033\.
If you don't have this you can download it, once you've read and agreed the License Terms.
I used the 16x16 .png versions of these icons, but renamed them to Cut.png, etc.. You can, of course, use whatever images you want.
The images are shown in the Designer, but disappear when running the application. Find the images in Solution Explorer, right-click one of the them and choose Properties. Change Build Action to Resource. You might also change the property Copy to Output Directory to Copy Always to make the images deployable. Do the same for the other two images. Hint: If you use the Shift-key you can do this for all three images in one go.
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Mode=TwoWay, ElementName=menuItemToggle, Path=IsChecked}" Content="Toggled?" />
In a ToolBar a CheckBox behaves as a toggle-button. In which case, you may wish to add an image as a child-control to the CheckBox, to make it clearer when it is pressed (checked). To get a more familiar check-mark you could embed the CheckBox in a Button:
<Button> <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Mode=TwoWay, ElementName=menuItemToggle, Path=IsChecked}" Content="Toggled?" /> </Button>
If you do this though, you might find, as I did, that the Button is initially too tall and distorts the toolbar. This could be an opportunity for you to explore Button (and/or Toolbar) attributes or Styles.
In the menu I named the 'Toggle Me' MenuItem menuItemToggle. This name is then used with the CheckBox to create a simple, TwoWay, property binding. Run the application. The menu-item and toolbar-checkbox are both either checked, or not checked.
Binding Class :MSDN
MSDN said:
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) data binding provides a simple and consistent way for applications to present and interact with data. Data binding enables you to synchronize the values of the properties of two different objects.
This is, as you might guess, a very big subject and I won't pursue it here.
StatusBar and Simple Property-Binding
We will add a StatusBar which displays the fullname of the programmer. This is added after the Grid and docked to the bottom (of the DockPanel).
</Grid> <StatusBar DockPanel.Dock="Bottom"> <TextBlock>Full Name: <TextBlock Text="{Binding ElementName=txtFirstName, Path=Text}" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding ElementName=txtLastName, Path=Text}" /> </TextBlock> </StatusBar>
Binding Class :MSDN
Again, I won't discuss Binding in any detail at this stage. However, this example is straight-forward. The Text of the TextBlocks is bound to the Text-property of specific elements, using their ElementNames to identify them. No code required!
If we were building a full application, with a data-source, then the fullname would be bound to properties of a data-bound object, not directly to Controls of the window. (A Control is a property of a Window but this does not provide the code separation that we seek.)
Brief Intro: Canvas, Ellipse, Path
To introduce Shapes and Drawing we'll add (for no particular reason!) a smiley-face after the StackPanel. (Because we are using a Grid the ordering of the elements isn't always significant, although it can be.)
Shapes and Basic Drawing in WPF Overview :MSDN
</StackPanel> <Canvas Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="5" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"> <Ellipse Canvas.Left="60" Canvas.Top="10" Width="80" Height="80" Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="4" Fill="Yellow" /> <Ellipse Canvas.Left="75" Canvas.Top="25" Width="20" Height="20" Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="3" Fill="White" /> <Ellipse Canvas.Left="80" Canvas.Top="35" Width="6" Height="5" Fill="Black" /> <Ellipse Canvas.Left="105" Canvas.Top="25" Width="20" Height="20" Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="3" Fill="White" /> <Ellipse Canvas.Left="110" Canvas.Top="35" Width="6" Height="5" Fill="Black" /> <Path x:Name="smile" Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="4" Data="M 80,64 Q 100,90 120,64" /> </Canvas>
A Canvas is a Layout control and can be used to precisely (absolutely) position controls. Although this is possible, a Canvas is more often employed as a drawing-surface.
It should be fairly obvious what is going on. If you want you could add the Ellipses one at a time to see the face being drawn in the Designer. Experiment with Stroke-colour, Widths and Heights, etc..
Using Paths and Geometries :MSDN
(this is in the same page just linked)
MSDN said:
The Path class enables you to draw curves and complex shapes. These curves and shapes are described using Geometry objects. To use a Path, you create a Geometry and use it to set the Path object's Data property.
Data="M 80,64 Q 100,90 120,64" The letter M (for 'move to') establishes a starting-point for the Path. Q specifies a control-point and end-point for a quadratic Bezier curve. Experiment with these values. Start by changing "100, 90" to bend the curve in different directions.
Inline Styles, DynamicResources and DataTriggers
Replace the Path definition with the following:
<Path x:Name="smile" Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="4"> <Path.Style> <Style TargetType="Path"> <Setter Property="Data" Value="M 80,64 Q 100,90 120,64" /> <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Data" Value="M 80,64 Q 100,50 120,64" /> </Trigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> </Path.Style> </Path>
We are providing an inline style.
MSDN said:
In Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), style and template properties can technically be set in one of two ways. You can use attribute syntax to reference a style that was defined within a resource, for example <object Style="{StaticResource myResourceKey}" .../>. Or you can use property element syntax to define a style inline, for instance:
< object >
< object .Style>
< Style .../>
</ object .Style>
</ object >
< object >
< object .Style>
< Style .../>
</ object .Style>
</ object >
This is less flexible than providing the Style as a (Static or Dynamic) Resource as it is scoped to the containing element and cannot be re-used as it has no resource-key.
If you run this then you will see the smile turn to a frown (an upside-down smile..). However, it doesn't work properly and alternates rapidly between the two expressions. This is because it is triggered by having the mouse over the Path, which then moves the Path away from the mouse (by changing its Data), triggering the smile, etc., etc..
Note: We had to move the Data-definition "M 80,64 Q 100,90 120,64" into the Style itself because, if we left it as an attribute of the Path, the attribute has a higher priority than the Style. Try moving this out of the Style and back as an attribute of the Path; the smile will no longer change and there is no warning from VS. (I was caught out by this myself, and it took a while to realise why nothing was happening.)
What we need to do is to attach the IsMouseOver trigger to the Canvas itself. Change to this:
<Path x:Name="smile" Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="4"> <Path.Resources> <Geometry x:Key="geoFrown"> M 80,64 Q 100,50 120,64 </Geometry> </Path.Resources> <Path.Style> <Style TargetType="Path"> <Setter Property="Data" Value="M 80,64 Q 100,90 120,64" /> <Style.Triggers> <!--<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Data" Value="M 80,64 Q 100,50 120,64" /> </Trigger>--> <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Canvas}}, Path=IsMouseOver}" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Data" Value="{DynamicResource geoFrown}" /> </DataTrigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> </Path.Style>
I have taken the opportunity to introduce a DynamicResource, the Geometry named 'geoFrown'. It is Dynamic because, essentially, it appears inline with the document content, unlike the StaticResources of window.Resources and Application.Resources that appear at the top of the Window and in a separate file (App.xaml).
The distinction between Dynamic and Static Resources is more involved than this but, for our currrent purpose, it is sufficient to say that any resource appearing inline is Dynamic, and at the top of the file or elsewhere is Static.
DataTrigger Class :MSDN
I've struggled to find a good explanation of the difference between Style Triggers and Data Triggers:
SO said:
A regular trigger only responds to dependency properties.
A data trigger can be triggered by any .NET property (by setting its Binding property). However, its setters can still target only dependency properties.
A data trigger can be triggered by any .NET property (by setting its Binding property). However, its setters can still target only dependency properties.
SO topic
MSDN said:
Dependency Property Class:
Represents a property that can be set through methods such as, styling, data binding, animation, and inheritance.
Represents a property that can be set through methods such as, styling, data binding, animation, and inheritance.
These definitions seem recursive to me! I'm going to use a simpler distinction (for the purpose of this tutorial):
Style Triggers respond to simple UI property changes. For anything more complicated we can turn to DataTriggers.
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Canvas}}, Path=IsMouseOver}" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Data" Value="{DynamicResource geoFrown}" /> </DataTrigger>
(Note the use, or re-use, of the DynamicResource 'geoFrown'.)
DataTriggers allow us to specify the when, where and what of the trigger. For our specific example they allow us to attach the trigger to the containing Canvas-element, but cause a change to the child (Path) element. This introduces the concept of routed events, discussed in Part 3.
It should be possible to get this to work in the opposite direction, adding the Trigger to the Canvas and using TargetName to locate the Path (named 'smile') within the Canvas.
Expander and Transforms
These two topics aren't related, and I don't discuss them in any detail. I put a copy of the smiley-face in an Expander control... because we can! I use a SkewTransform to skew (to distort/twist) the smiley-face.
</Canvas> <Expander Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="5" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Header="Another smile" IsExpanded="False"> <Canvas Background="Transparent"> <Canvas.LayoutTransform> <SkewTransform AngleX="10" AngleY="10" /> </Canvas.LayoutTransform> <Ellipse Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="0" Width="80" Height="80" Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="4" Fill="Yellow" /> <Ellipse Canvas.Left="15" Canvas.Top="15" Width="20" Height="20" Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="3" Fill="White" /> <Ellipse Canvas.Left="20" Canvas.Top="25" Width="6" Height="5" Fill="Black" /> <Ellipse Canvas.Left="45" Canvas.Top="15" Width="20" Height="20" Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="3" Fill="White" /> <Ellipse Canvas.Left="50" Canvas.Top="25" Width="6" Height="5" Fill="Black" /> <Path Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="4" Data="M 20,54 Q 40,80 60,54" /> </Canvas> </Expander>
Expander Overview :MSDN
Transforms Overview :MSDN
I changed the position of the various ellipses, and the path coords, so that the face doesn't appear too far down the window. It may instead have been possible to move the entire face, perhaps using a TranslateTransform, although it may have required placing the face in another control such as a Rectangle. You might investigate this.
Rather than copy all the code for the smiley-face it could be created as either a custom (user) control, or even perhaps as a Resource (or set of Resources).
We can rotate and skew at the same time using a TransformGroup:
<Canvas.LayoutTransform> <!--<SkewTransform AngleX="10" AngleY="10" />--> <TransformGroup> <RotateTransform Angle="40" /> <SkewTransform AngleX="10" AngleY="10" /> </TransformGroup> </Canvas.LayoutTransform>
The tutorial continues in Part 3, which introduces code.
Here is the full code for the Window:

Having been released by the Minnesota Vikings, and suspended until at least October, running back Onterrio Smith is heading to the Canadian Football League, where the laws about fake penises are much more relaxed.
He'll be suiting up for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who already boast of former Tennessee Vol and Pittsburgh Steeler Tee Martin, as well as former Iowa Hawkeye Brad Banks. They also have a guy who was born in Iowa, played in college at Cal-Berkeley, but is ironically named Tom Canada. Go figure.
Anyway, if the Dolphins ever get on board and decide to let Ricky Williams play in Canada, the CFL could see one hell of a battle for the rushing title this year. I wonder if it would be difficult for Canadian fans to get behind that. You know how some people can't get behind modern-day MLB home-run records because they take place in the steroid era? If Ricky and Onterrio were to rewrite the CFL's rushing records, would it cast a pall over the CFL that would come to be known as the tainted urine era?
It's good to see you find a home, Onterrio Smith. But I don't recommend crossing the border while in possession of the rubber dong that you were carrying for your "cousin."
Onterrio heads north to join Blue [Winnipeg Blue-Bombers]

Supreme Court keeps Utah same-sex marriages on ice
WASHINGTON — In a minor victory for opponents of same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court ruled late Friday that Utah can ignore for now the marriages of more than 1,000 couples hitched there in late December and early January.
The apparently unanimous order blocked a decision issued by a federal district judge in May that required the state to recognize those marriages, even though it was appealing its loss on the broader question of allowing gay and lesbian marriages.
The state has since lost that appeal at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, but it will ask the Supreme Court to take the case. (Oklahoma lost a similar appeal on Friday.) In the meantime, it won the court's blessing to keep those early marriages on hold.
U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby in December became the first federal judge in the nation to declare a state same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional following the Supreme Court's ruling against the federal gay marriage ban last June. For two weeks, hundreds of couples tied the knot, but then the Supreme Court granted Utah's request for a stay pending appeal.
In May, District Judge Dale Kimball ruled that the state must recognize those 1,000-plus marriages, just as the federal government has done in most states that have legalized gay marriage. Recognition can affect issues ranging from adoption to state benefits. But the state successfully challenged that ruling by arguing that if it eventually wins its broader case, the marriages will be nullified.
Attorneys for the four couples who sought to have their marriages recognized had argued in court papers that the state was seeking to "effectively divorce those couples against their wishes."

he sun disappeared and the wind increased in velocity coming from the east and east northeast. The seas became very giant in size, the wind continued blowing us toward shore, pushing us into shallow water. It soon happened that we were unable to use any sail at all…and we were at the mercy of the wind and water, always driven closer to shore. Having then lost all of our masts, all of the ships were wrecked on the shore, and with the exception of mine, broke to pieces."1
This violent storm off the coast of Florida in July 1715 ravaged 11 Spanish ships as they attempted to return to Spain. From the mid 16th to the mid 18th century, heavily-armed fleets such as this plied the waters between Spain and the Americas transporting massive amounts of New World treasure. Through this treasure fleet system, Spain created a mighty New World empire and became the most powerful nation in Europe. The fleets' return voyagewhen the ships were laden with silver, gold, gemstones, tobacco, exotic spices, and indigowas the most dangerous. Pirates and privateers from rival European countries threatened to seize the precious cargoes and jeopardize Spain's dominance of the Americas. The greatest danger, however, came not from enemy countries, but from unexpected and deadly hurricanes.In 1715 and again in 1733, Spain's treasure fleets were devastated by hurricanes off the coast of Florida. Although the Spanish managed to recover some treasure, much more remained on the ocean floor. The sunken ships lay forgotten for more than 200 years until modern treasure hunters discovered several of them. Today, the remains of two of the shipsthe Urca de Lima from the 1715 fleet and the San Pedro from the 1733 fleetare protected as Florida Underwater Archaeological Preserves. These ships are time capsules from a bygone era and can reveal much about the history of the mighty maritime system that helped shape the Americas. 1 Miguel de Lima, owner of the Urca de Lima. As quoted in Della Scott-Ireton and Barbara Mattick, "Urca de Lima" (St. Lucie County, Florida) National Register of Historic Places Registration Form, Washington, D.C.: U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, 2001, Section 8, page 2.

Runway, your way: How to wear fall's new capes
Wonder how to work catwalk cool into your own closet? Here's how to translate the trends for real life.
There's just something glamorous about wearing a cape. A little bit matador. A little bit equestrian. A little bit hippie. A little bit preppy. A little bit mod. A little bit rock 'n' roll. Really, the cape has got it all, and it's a trend that refuses to go away.
As shown by designers including Kate Spade, Tracy Reese, Pucci, Ferragamo, Thakoon, Ralph Lauren Burberry, Alexander McQueen, Valentino and many others, a cape looks great layered over a dress, but also paired with slacks or jeans. We've seen capes done in everything from wool to fur to cashmere and embellished with embroidery, fringe, hoods, giant buttons and more.
Ready to channel your inner superhero and jump on the cape trend? Here are six styles sure to make your style soar.
THE RUNWAY: Carolina Herrera, fall 2014
A dark floral skirt gets the tough treatment with a black leather moto jacket, newsboy cap and ankle boots.

Shoo fly! Five all-natural summer pest prevention tips
I love a lot of things about summer: ten hours of sunshine, BBQs every weekend, and ice-cold cocktails in the evening, just to name a few.
But I'm not a huge fan of the pests that thrive during the warmer months.
My guess is you aren't either. Because nothing kills the mood of a summer BBQ like a surprise bee attack that sends everyone running.
If you want to enjoy summer without falling prey to bites, pokes and stings from insects, here are five pest prevention strategies.

Among the goodies that grandma Hazel saved I found this single sheet of paper with her handwriting on both sides. It is a little history about her parents and grandparents and some of her own recollections.
I was real intrigued when I read this because in all the family histories I have read, no one in the family has ever talked about interactions with Indians. This may even be part of a draft that is typewritten somewhere in the possession of some distant cousins. There could even be more of this in someone else's share of her stuff.
There is no particular format to this history, not even punctuation so I transcribed it as best as I could to make sense.
Grandfather was born in Manchester, England (other sources say Bollington) 1826 and left England in 1839 (or 1849). Grandmother [was] born in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. She lost her first husband David Evans in 1849. They had four children. Later grandmother married grandfather Henry Bake in Pittsburgh, Penn. There was six children born to them.
They left Pennsylvania coming across the plains in Mr. Ira Eldridge Company in 1861. They settled in Goshen, Utah, later they went to Hyde Park, Utah. In 1864 they came to Bloomington settling on the place [that is] now Alma Findlay's. In the year of 64 Nov 11 grandmother had a baby boy named David Dillie after the first Bishop or presiding Elder of Bloomington. The night the baby was born it snowed over a inch of snow on her bed. The baby caught cold & died next morning. Grandfather moved his family back to Hyde Park when grandmother died at the age of 68. Grandfather moved to Elkhorn, Malad, Idaho and took up land.
Mother came to Bloomington and lived with her sister Mrs. Josephine Nelson. When twenty she married to father Niels Madsen. They both came over the plains. There was a great deal of sickness. Father had a brother, Franklyn, buried on the plains aged 2. They came with oxen teams it was slow traveling. Mother had to walk a lot of the way [she was] only 4 years old, but had to lighten the weight as much as they could. She said she couldn't walk very far at a time. Her mother thought it would help both the oxen and herself. There wasn't so very much to burn or make fires so they had to gather almost every dry thing they could, even buffalo chips. Their drinking water was bad. They met with some Indians at different places, but had no trouble.
When mother had been married 12 years father sold out and went to Dingle, Idaho. There we lived for ten good years. Mother was a woman to stay home and take care of her family & help others. I remember when Mrs. Oakey died how mother would have them [children?] come over every Saturday night and give them their bath and the father took care of them. The oldest girl [was] 9 [years] of age.
Mother was so good to those in trouble. [I] often remember how she would have cripples drive up to the back door with their horse and buggy and she would go out and give them their dinner when we had our trashing done. When tramps came she always helped them and the Indians, she never turned one away without bread. They all seemed to want bread or rutabagas.
I remember several of my playmates were at the east of our house pulling weeds when we saw a buck Indian going by on a pony. How we did run and get to the neighbor place just in time for Molly Bird was all alone. All he would ask her was where her folks was and she would answer him gone k not, meaning gone away. He had a large hunting knife and was eating a large rutabaga. He finally went away, but he would keep a watch about the place. We thought he was looking for her folks, but they were gone to Montpelier. There used to be so many Indians go through Dingle each summer.
I found a Short History of Dingle, Idaho. Apparently hundreds of Indians used to camp in Oakey's (same Oakey that grandma Hazel talked about) grove as they traveled between Fort Hall and a reservation in
. Chief Pocatello even traveled with them. Wyoming

BeLite Provides A Healthy Weight Loss Program
The BeLite Medical Center, which opened March 1, 1995, uses appetite suppressant medications together with exercise and a healthy diet to help patients improve their health by losing weight. The BeLite Clinic is located in Northern Virginia in the city of Fairfx and serves patients from all areas of Northern Virginia. Reflecting our expertise and excellent reputation, many patients from other areas of Virginia, such as Richmond, Warrenton, and Winchester, travel to our clinic for treatment, in addition to patients from Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Our weight loss program features:
Perhaps you've been enrolled in past diet programs, but simply haven't been successful. Perhaps you've spent hundreds of dollars on expensive exercise equipment, only to find that the equipment merely gathers dust in a corner. Whatever your past experience, the BeLite Medical Center can be the start of a successful weight loss program. We get more new enrollments from referrals than from any other source. Our staff understands what it takes to produce real results -- many are graduates. Nearly 95% of our patients have lost weight successfully.
We like to describe our weight loss program as being like a stool with three legs: diet, exercise and medication. All three components of the weight loss program must be worked on in order for you to achieve your weight loss goal. Medications are a key component of our weight loss program. Most patients are prescribed phentermine, phendimetrazine or diethylpropion, medications that work in the brain to increase norepinephrine production, thereby decreasing hunger and stopping food cravings. These medications are typically prescribed in conjunction with 5-HTP/carbidopa. Click here for additional information about the use of supplements in our weight loss program.
The combined use of phentermine and 5-HTP for weight loss is the subject of a paper published in 2010 by Dr. Rothman, our Medical Director. A published survey given to the physician members of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians (ASBP) in 2009, found that 20% used 5-HTP/carbidopa in their practice. Click for an abstract of the survey results on the use of supplements for treatment of obesity.

Thousands of people have been evicted from their homes to make way for a Chinese development in Koh Kong province. But some of the families have returned to their land, leaving a relocation site they say was insufficient for their needs. Meanwhile, work continues on the massive development, undertaken by the Chinese Union Development Group, to build a resort and casino on some 36,000 hectares of land along the pristine coast. Second of a two-part series. (Say Mony, Koh Kong province)
Thousands of families in the remote coastal province of Koh Kong have been evicted or are facing eviction in the face of a Chinese resort development project. Some families have moved unwillingly to relocation sites. Some are refusing to leave, setting the stage for another land dispute. The families are facing eviction from a 36,000-hectare resort development by the Chinese Union Development Group, which holds a 99-year lease on the land. Chinese hydrodam developments have already damaged major parts of Koh Kong, home to the Cardamom Mountains, Cambodia's richest source of biodiversity. The resort adds to the difficulties facing residents of the province, which has also seen major evictions and disputes rising from the growth of a massive sugar plantation. Part one of a two-part series. (Say Mony, Koh Kong)
Around 1,000 Sabrina factory workers on Wednesday protested outside Kompong Speu provincial court demanding the release of their union leaders. Eight union leaders were arrested by police on Monday after around 4,000 workers on strike clashed with police at Cambodian garment factory in Kompong Speu. (Reuters)
The Cambodian Appeals Court on Wednesday held a hearing in the case of housing rights activist Yorm Bopha, who is serving three years for allegedly instigating violence in an altercation in Phnom Penh last year. Yorm Bopha was arrested in August 2012 after she appeared at the scene of a fight between two men who were drinking rice wine at a drink shop in the Boeung Kak neighborhood of the capital, according to the rights group Licadho. (Heng Reaksmey, Phnom Penh)
Around 4,000 striking workers on Monday June 3, 2013 forced their way into a factory in Cambodia that makes clothing for US sportswear company Nike and clashed briefly with colleagues who has remained on the jobs before being dispersed by police. (Reuters, Phnom Penh)
Union leaders say the collapse was an indicator of lax inspections and standards at factories throughout the country and could be harmful to the reputation of the garment sector, which employs hundreds of thousands of workers.

TC49SU is a mid-range programmable temperature controller; feature-rich and cost-effective at the same time. It accepts input from 8 types of thermocouples (B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T), Pt100 3-wire RTD sensors and optionally, 0 - 10 V DC and 4-20 mA or 0 - 20 mA linear inputs. A large LED display on the front of the temperature controller indicates the process value while 2 additional LEDs indicate the status of each of the two relays. Buttons on the front of TC49SU allow operators to easily program up to 2 setpoints for the process value. With an error of only 0.1% of full-scale value, this is a temperature controller of superior accuracy. TC49SU's two electromagnetic relays trigger heating, cooling or full-scale high and low alarms. It also retransmits an isolated current or voltage output signal to other devices such as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or Solid-State Relay (SSR). Signal isolation protects your devices and machines downstream of our instruments from damaging fluctuations in the input signal. TC49SU is conventionally an ON-OFF controller that outputs a discrete signal, but can also be used in Time-Proportioning Mode which turns the actuator on and off for periods proportional to the desired control effort, to emulate a continuous actuator that can generate a control effort between 0 and 100%. This product features Radix's proprietary sensor-break indication technology.

Fluff has been moved up to Tuesday because chances of any of us posting anything substantial today (or, uh, this week) are incredibly slim.
So, I started following Michael Ian Black on Twitter after I heard about his Twitter war with LeVar Burton, via Sarah Haskins on Twitter. (Lest you think that implies I was fighting for the Black side, I also started following Burton, thereby canceling out my show of support.) Since the war ended, I've been weighing whether his amusing one-liners are worth continuing to follow him, given that A) I'm already following 60-odd other people who supply me with sufficient amusing one-liners, and B) he occasionally makes me stabby. (Psst, you've failed to consider the very real possibility that the joke wasn't funny because among other things, cheap date rape analogies = comedy turd.)
But today, I'm happy to have hung in there, because I see he's created the Fuck It List. It's the opposite of a Bucket List — things you feel absolutely no need to do before you die. Lots of people are Tweeting their own mini-Fuck It Lists, and I was delighted to see at least a few that included losing weight and "getting ready for bathing suit season."
In fewer than 140 characters, mine would go something like this: Lose the last 10 80 lbs.; get Ph.D.; have more than 1 kid*; become categorically "outdoorsy"; write decent poetry; look good in capri pants.
(Yes, those were all things I once fervently desired. The list would probably be much funnier if I included stuff I never really cared about.)
Shapelings, tell us what's on your Fuck It List — Twitter-style if you like, or feel free to go on at length.
*The linked post was written by a dear friend of mine, so if you want to discuss it here, feel free, but don't go crapping on the author.

According to a nationwide Qunnipiac poll released today, 69% of voters think illegal immigrants should be allowed into a guest worker program and work towards legal citizenship status.
66 percent of Republicans support a guest worker-to-citizenship plan, according to the poll, as do 73 percent of Democrats.
71percent of voters say congress needs to do more than build a fence along the Mexican border to deal with immigration.

If Chandler keeps missing all his shots there's no way we're going to win. He can't hit the back side of a barn right now.
If Chandler keeps missing all his shots there's no way we're going to win. He can't hit the back side of a barn right now.
This is exactly the Knicks problem. If we're not on fire we lose because our defense is terrible. Wade is 13/14. Terrible. Every opponents stars have their season high against us.
Damn D-whistle is going off someone lay him out PLEASE
Knicks 2012
How do we allow a player to come in to our house and punish us without cracking his skull?
3s................................................ ............................
Williams working hard.
6 of 25 from 3
6 of 17 in the quarter.
Yet D'Antoni still is having us shoot 3's. I don't know about you guys, but when I played high school and college ball, if our team wasn't shooting well our coach would have us stop shooting and would have us drive to the basket to draw fouls. I don't know why our offensive genius doesn't realize this or make the adjustment. These are the type of games you win from the line and driving the ball.
James Jones almost has more 3's than our whole team and we've shot 25. Just terrible. This game is ours for the taking and we're screwing it up.
64 points after 3. What a joke. This is exactly why being an offensive team just doesn't work. If you're not on fire, you lose.
Knicks are actually playing halfway decent defense. Remember, Washington had 90+ points after 3 quarters.
Tonight is exactly why Knicks need to pair Carmelo with Stat. Gallo, Chandler are nice, cute players but will never be special players. If we had Anthony, he would have 20 and we would have the lead tonight.
Instead Chandler is ice cold and Gallo has like 10 points.
Knicks are 6-23 from 3 and J-Jones for MIA has 4 threes. Lol.
Felton is a turnover machine tonight as well.
Toney! You are a horrible passer. HORRIBLE!
Can Ray Felt break down this defense??
The answer is NO..
He is NOT the final answer at PG for, not w this offense we play.
I will welcome an upgrade when the time comes..
The crucial 3rd. Blown.
The 2nd half points have to come from players Felton, Fields, Douglas, Gallo, and S.Williams to win this game.
Lebron is playing on an injury, and it is hard as hell to stop the only player in the league (D.Wade) u can compare to Kobe Byrant.

Muffins, muffins, muffins, who can get enough of this tasty breakfast treat. One of the great things I love about muffins, is the fact that you can eat them at anytime of the day and not feel like your eating breakfast. Think about it, muffins where made to act as a quick breakfast for people on the go right? Well, you can eat these things no matter what time it is because they are great with everything. If you was to bring a plate of scrambled eggs, an egg biscute, or even a donut to work for your lunch, you would feel more like you are eating breakfast. Now go buy yourself a muffin of any color, flavor, big or small, with chocolate chips or without, bran or corn, you would totally feel not only comfortable, but normal as well. You wouldn't feel like other co-workers are staring at you because your eating eggs or cereal, you would feel relaxed, normal, and out of the minds eye. So here is a lesson on "how to draw muffins", step by step. I hope you enjoyed my thesis, and now YOU can anjoy drawing yourself some nice plump muffins.

(Tiliqua sp.)
There are six species of of blue-tongue lizard, which also includes two sub-species . The belly of the blue-tongue is usually quite pale with darker variegations adorning their back. Their eyes are small and reddish-brown to grey. The tongue is dark blue and the lining of the mouth is bright pink. Blue-tongues have a long body, large head and short legs and toes. The tail is shorter than the body and generally tapers evenly to a point. Male blue-tongues may have a proportionally larger head than females
Blue-tongue lizards are found throughout most of Australia. Blue-tongues usually live in open country with lots of ground cover such as tussocky grasses or leaf litter. They shelter at night among leaf litter, in burrows and under large objects on the ground such as rocks and logs. Early in the mornings blue-tongues emerge to bask in sunny areas and will then forage for food during the warmer parts of the day. Like all reptiles, blue-tongues do not produce their own body heat, relying on the warmth of their surroundings to raise their body temperature. Blue-tongues maintain a body temperature of about 30-35°C when active. During cold weather they mostly remain inactive, buried deep in their shelter sites, only emerging to bask on sunny days.
Blue-tongues eat a wide variety of vegetation and invertebrates. Their teeth are large and they have strong jaw muscles so they can crush snail shells and beetles.
Blue-tongues live alone for most of the year, but between September and November males pursue females and mating occurs. At this time, males may fight aggressively among themselves. Mating may be rough, with females carrying scrape marks from the male's teeth. Female blue-tongues give birth to live young three to five months after mating, between December and April. The young are independent at birth, and disperse within a few days. Of all the blue-tongues, the eastern blue-tongue has the largest litters and the smallest young. Up to 25 (but usually about 10) young are born, each measuring 130-140 mm in total length and weighing 10-20g. Blue-tongues are long-lived and several captive animals have lived for 20 years.
When threatened, blue-tongues turn towards the threat, open their mouth wide and stick out their broad blue tongue, which contrasts vividly with the pink mouth. This display, together with the large size of the head, may frighten off predators. If the threat does not go away, blue-tongues may hiss and flatten out the body to make themselves look bigger.

It's not only that I happen to love this particular cookie recipe (which I often make myself in a slightly different version including red wine and fennel seeds) – Alice also picked the best possible time to contribute to Dinner In Venice! I'm taking a short family vacation and this guest post means: "YAY! More play time with the kids". While Allie is not Italian herself, her trademark cuisine, showcased in her addictive blog Ally's Kitchen, is simple but sophisticated, a perfect balance of flavors – qualities that many identify with contemporary Italian taste. Her dishes are eclectic and show many different cultural influences, but this time she is actually taking us on a virtual trip to Central Italy……
Italian roots run deep in my life—married first time around to a D'Antoni, I was very influenced in my culinary growth in early years by being in the family. With three sons who could eat you out of house and home, some of their favorite dishes were all Italian inspired—pastas especially!
Still having a close connection to this part of my life, recently Ben and I traveled to Italy and visited our D'Antoni family there staying in their gorgeous home in Poggio Mirteto where food is the heart of living and breathing. Amid the stunning olive orchards, wine vineyards and listening to the gentle crowing of roosters in early morning, each day began with deliciousness! The long table set for family and friends and prepared by the expert hands of Antonella, 'breaking bread' was more than food, it was layers of entertainment, hours of laughter and sharing, and all with even more family in a rustic warm setting of food, wine, good stories, and laughter!
One recipe that captured my heart was 'Ciambellini di Magro'—Italian cookies crispy and subtly sweet with distinct hints of the rich olive oil and wine in them! I couldn't get enough. Antonella, who spoke limited English, and I, who speak even less Italian, had no problems communicating in the kitchen—she shared with me the recipe writing it in Italian and 'talking' with her hands and gestures explaining how to execute. We laughed as we both knew we were in a festive game of 'charades' talking recipes, food, and cooking!
I've made these cookies three times since returning—sharing them with friends who come sit in my kitchen, I retell the story of Antonella & Ally in the kitchen—and, sharing them on my website and Facebook proved to be one of my most popular recipe posts!
Makes about 4 dozen
- 4-5 cups self-rising flour (divided) (I'm also going to try them with all-purpose flour and rice flour.)
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 cups sugar (divided)
- 1 cup white wine (I used chardonnay.)
Yep, messy at first, but hang in there, it gets better! Preheat your oven to 350 F.
On a large clean surface (I used a large wooden cutting board.) put about 2 cups of flour and make a center well.
Add the olive oil then 1 ½ cups of sugar and the salt. With your fingers work the sugar into the oil. Then add about a cup of flour and start working in with your fingers.
Continue working in the flour that is surrounding the oil. Add another ½ to ¾ cups of flour.
Then slowly start working in wine, a little at a time. The dough batter will be gooey and messy—not to worry. Keep adding flour until you dough consistency that can be shaped into a ball.
Put about ½ cup sugar (or more) in a pie plate. This is for coating the cookies before putting on the partchment-paper lined cookie sheet. Cut off a bit of the dough ball at a time and begin rolling into snakes then shape into pinwheels, make knots, or make donut holes.
Place in the pie plate of sugar and coat well. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat process until all the dough is used.
Bake in a preheated 350 oven about 17-21 minutes or until the cookies are somewhat golden brown (not much). -

Cd21420 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 87 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
Make Rocket Go Now
My name is Christopher Deutsch and I'm a 33 year old .NET/Ruby developer and business owner.
Make Rocket Go Now Inc is a Web and Mobile Software Development company.
The phrase "Make Rocket Go Now" is an old Simpson's episode reference.
This should be a fun logo to design IMO. ;)
Small to medium businesses needing software development and consulting.
Obviously I'm thinking of a rocket in the logo. ;) I think it would be cool to have binary 1's and 0's shooting out the back of the rocket for flames but since I also want to use this logo on business cards, etc, and considering the company name is a little long I'm not sure if the flames are feasible.
Other ideas are a "launch button" that says "Make Rocket Go Now" on it or a combo of a button and rocket.
I'd take the ability to use the logo on a variety of mediums (business cards, shirts, etc) over any of the creative ideas I'm providing.
I really like The Nerdery's logo and how it is very recognizable and easy to use for everything from a banner to a twitter avatar.

get the most out of what 25 To Life has to offer if
you play online, but is that enough? by
Vaughn Smith
20, 2006 - As
we discovered in 2005, the suits have a 'thing' for
the urban street life. They know that kids are eating
up rap and hip hop music and the lifestyle that goes
right along with it, so naturally they want to capitalize
on it while it's hot. The suits are also quite fond
of the idea of creating the next popular knock off
of the Grand Theft Auto franchise because frankly,
their trophy wives have been asking for a new pair
of diamond studded Porsches and these hootchy mamas
are hard to please at the best of times. At the end
of 2005 we suffered through 50 Cent: Bulletproof,
True Crime: New York City, 187: Ride Or Die, Urban
Reign et al and now we get to kick off 2006 with 25
To Life. I'll give the suits at Eidos credit; they
had a little more vision and ambition when plotting
out the execution of their game when compared to the
aforementioned list of disasters. They wanted to give
the GTA fans a world in which they could kill each
other online and for the most part they've succeeded.
The online portion of 25 To Life isn't bad; it's not
deep by any stretch nor does it look particularly
wonderful, but you and your pals can run around the
city and shoot each other online and I bet some of
you will really like it. The single player game is
as forgettable as they come and I'd suggest ignoring
it all together, but if you want to unlock all of
the multiplayer goodies, you'll have to beat the game.
have come to the conclusion that it won't be long
before we see obscenities mapped to the controller
to allow players to drop the F bomb whenever they
want (25 To Life is close - a taunt feature is mapped
to the D-Pad, but how long before any obscenity can
be configured to the face buttons?). Developers are
becoming so fascinated and preoccupied with adult
language due to the allowances of the M rating that
they're mistakenly confusing it with gameplay. Swearing
isn't gameplay nor does it make up for a lack of it...even
if you geniuses eventually map it to the controller
as I already predicted. It's lazy developing, much
like a comedian peppering his act with obscenities
to compensate for weak material. In case you haven't
noticed, expect to hear a litany of curse words both
offline and online while playing 25 To Life....because
the kids you'll be playing with online love to shout
whatever they've learned from the other gangsta games
and rap music. Will someone please invent a machine
that checks your IQ before you're allowed online?
Thanks in advance motherf******! Oops!
single player in 25 To Life focuses upon three different
playable characters each with their own ulterior motives
for moving towards their eventual destiny. Andre Freeze
Francis is a gangbanger who just can't get out of
the gangsta life, even though his wife desperately
wants him out. But just when you think you're out...they
pull you right back in again. Where have we heard
that before? The argument with Freeze's wife is nothing
more than the impetus to go out and shoot everything
that moves. As you progress you'll character hop into
those who have sworn to uphold the law, those who
don't care for the law and those who are neither good
nor evil. I guess the character switching might be
considered interesting if it hadn't already been done
far better in other games, but at least it gives you
the shallowest of reasons to shoot the guys whose
side you were just on.
grants you a decent amount of control but after you
play for awhile you'll realize you won't need most
of it. You can crouch (as depicted on the box shot),
jump, melee, shoot, grenade toss, taunt, reload and
lean out from behind cover to shoot. The lean move
is quite touchy and mostly ineffective. It's hard
to line up the character to the exact point where
you can lean around corners. It doesn't appear that
the game "snaps" you to the corner so you'll
often find yourself leaning too far out which leaves
you wide open to take a shot in the head. I also discovered
that the collision detection is faulty as I was being
shot through the wall I was hiding behind. That's
never a good sign. A gameplay mechanic that works
well in theory (and other games) but not so well in
actual execution is the hostage taking. Taking a hostage
extremely limits your moves and it doesn't appear
to be in the best interests of other players to save
the hostage - so everyone is a freakin' target. I've
never taken someone hostage before, but if I did it
would be for insurance...you know....insurance that
people with guns don't start shooting willy nilly
in my direction. That notion appears to be lost on
the AI and those online.
find ducking for cover is more of a necessity than
it is a viable game mechanic because the enemies in
25 To Life are so hellbent on your destruction that
they've lost any sense of security for their own safety.
Most of them run around shooting in your general direction
until you manage to kill them. Killing them wouldn't
be so bad if it wasn't so hard to aim. The targetting
reticule is very hard to see which makes getting a
bead on a frantically moving enemy almost impossible.
You'll also discover, much to your chagrin, that enemies
can take all kinds of punishment to their person unless
you manage to get off a headshot. Good luck with that
pipedream. What you will notice is blood, and lots
of it. Blood and swearing. That's what this game should
have been called. I'm assuming everyone in the game
is a hemophiliac as they just never seem to stop gushing
precious life liquid. I guess Eidos forgot to program
blood clotting. Every so often you'll use a trail
of blood to locate an injured character and I have
to say, that at least gave purpose to the act of pumping
out of the red stuff.
the game just doesn't cut it and looks like it was
geared to compete with first generation PS2 titles.
I can only surmise that the low quality visuals that
permeate the offline game are there to enhance the
playability of the online game. If you can live with
25's stilted jerky animation (ala Syphon Filter PSone
era) you will no doubt get off on the urban jungle
settings of the online game. They're actually pretty
good and definitely a fun playground to run around
you've exhausted yourself playing the single player
game (or much sooner than that), be sure to investigate
25 To Life's entertaining online mode. Since the concept
of making a GTA game online was no doubt the impetus
for 25 To Life, you can almost throw away the flawed
single player game in favor of the online action.
Unfortunately you might have to wait a long time before
you locate other players to shoot at, but once you
do, you'll realize that this is definitely the mode
Eidos intended for the spotlight. Granted online isn't
perfect but the game instantly becomes far more interesting
because you're no longer playing against the ridiculous
AI found in the offline game. As I already mentioned
you'll have to settle for playing against younger
kids (who shouldn't even have this game...hello? Parents?
Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?) who scream, threaten, yell
and swear like the dickens but even if they aren't
your intellectual equals, the gameplay still manages
to shine through the blue cloud of cursing. That's
not to say 25 To Life is going to win any awards here,
far from it, but if more people were playing online
(XBL recommended over PS2 online) I could see where
some...ahem...older gamers...who love grisly violence
would get off on it.
the end of the day, 25 To Life just isn't worth it.
It's a full priced game that feels rushed and is lacking
in many important areas which I've outlined above.
Even if you're all about the online play, the offline
mode suckage is turning people off faster than you
can say "really bad word of mouth" which
means it isn't going to get any easier finding people
to play against. Eidos has released some worthy products
recently (Total Overdose, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect,
Project Snowblind, Lego Star Wars) but this is more
along the lines of that stinkbomb Tomb Raider: Angel
Of Darkness. If you're curious, by God man, rent as
headshots and gore do not a good game make!
Site Director
Control is responsive but certain mechanics
such as leans aren't executed with precision.
is hoping to make a big splash in 2005 with it's online
third person action title 25 To Life. Up to 16 players
will be able to battle on the mean streets as either
thug or law enforcement. If it sounds like a dream
come true as well as something Rockstar should have
incorporated into its GTA series years ago, you're
probably right. 25 To Life even has a single player
mission where you'll have to tough it out on the street
as a rising thug looking to make a name for himself.
a healthy (or unhealthy...) assortment of weapons
and interactive environments, 25 To Life might just
be what the doctor ordered next year, after you've
beaten San Andreas and wouldn't mind tearing up some
online time without being relegated into a FPS game.
We've been told barking dogs, car alarms and innocent
bystanders will give your position away if you're
trying to be stealthy which hopefully reflects the
realistic environment Eidos is striving for.
well, Eidos is also promising complete control over
your online persona with a very robust character creation
tool. Currently there is no word on whether vehicles
will be available to drive in either online of offline
the screens look as though most of the gameplay takes
place at night but we'd hope there would be some daytime
action in there as well.
To Life could be a very important game if Eidos pulls
it off next year. Add some vehicles and you just might
have yourself a Grand Theft Auto killer that you can
play online. Eidos needs a hit and we're hoping this
one is a success. As long as it doesn't play like
State of Emergency everything will all right in the

Archived: Protecting, promoting and supporting breast-feeding
The special role of maternity services
This joint WHO/UNICEF statement has been prepared to increase awareness of the critical role that health services play in promoting breastfeeding, and to describe what should be done to provide mothers with appropriate information and support. It is intended to use, after adaptation to suit local circumstances, by policy-makers and managers as well as by clinicians, midwives and nursing personnel.
Focusing on the brief period of prenatal, delivery and perinatal care provided in maternity wards and clinics, the statement encourages those concerned with the provision of maternity services to review policies and practices that affect breastfeeding. It outlines practical steps that they can take to promote and facilitate the initiation and establishment of breastfeeding by mothers in their care.

I'm still not completely convinced this is coincidental, they were under investigation before, and suddenly they're raided when they want to coe out with Megabox? They drop the lawsuit against Universal while they're being held? Very fishy.I wouldn't be surprise if the raid was instigated and sped up by corporations at this point.
Sorry, I can't support the U.S. government overreaching in any capacity, especially if the reasoning for this is shit fueled by corporate interests rather than common good. He should be tried in the UK, where he's from, and even then copyright infringement is really more of a civil problem than a criminal one. If he was a known terrorist or criminal responsible for crimes against the U.S.? Fine. But no, he's a kid who hosted a website. Being a dick is not against the law; we have rappers that sing "fuck the police" nowadays. It's dumb, but they're not criminals.There's never a 'this side is right, this side is wrong' deal when it comes to stuff like this, but I normally fall into the party that disapproves of the way governments handle this because they're honestly being a bunch of dicks about it. The punishment should fit the crime, but what they are doing now is the equivalent of taking a thief to the public square and chopping off his hands, screaming "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THIEVES," as a warning to others.

About the Author (Jefferson Bass)
Jefferson Bass is the writing team of Dr. Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson. Together, they wrote Death's Acre, a nonfiction account of the Body Farm, before embarking on a forensic fiction writing career as Jefferson Bass. Their debut novel, Carved in Bone, reached no. 25 on The New York Times Best Seller list and was followed by Flesh and Bone, The Devil's Bones, and a second nonfiction title, Beyond the Body Farm. Their latest novel is Bones of Betrayal.
Dr. Bill Bass
Forensic Anthropologist Dr. Bill Bass is a legend in forensic circles. In 1980 Dr. Bass created the world's only laboratory devoted to human decomposition: the University of Tennessee's "Body Farm." Dr. Bass has written or coauthored more than 200 scientific publications, many of them based either on the research facility's work or on murders and other mysteries he's helped to prosecute or solve. During half a century in the classroom, Dr. Bass has taught tens of thousands of students, including many of the foremost forensic anthropologists practicing in the United States today. He's been featured on numerous network television news programs, as well as in documentaries for National Geographic and the BBC. CBS was not exaggerating when it called Dr. Bass "America 's top forensic scientist."
Jon Jefferson
Jon Jefferson is a veteran journalist, science writer, and documentary filmmaker. His journalism credits include work for The New York Times, National Public Radio, Newsweek, and USA Today. Jefferson learned the art of combining scientific material with compelling human stories during a decade as a science writer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In the 1990s he began writing and producing documentaries for the History Channel and the Arts and Entertainment network, covering topics ranging from Vatican treasures to World War II fighter planes. An aviation buff, Jefferson owns and flies an experimental airplane. As a volunteer with a search-and-rescue team, Jefferson trained his Australian shepherd, Chief, to work as a cadaver dog.

When the sun's out and I'm feeling carefree I love my ska and pop-punk. When I'm feeling nostalgic and wistful I skew towards Menzingers or emo. When I've had three cups of coffee and need an outlet for the nebulous discontentment that silently builds behind the exterior of my stoic demeanor I turn towards hardcore-punk. That's where I'm at this morning so when a request to check out the debut album from Californian skate-punk/hardcore act Facelift hit my inbox it was perfectly timed. This music is raw. It's fast as hell. And it's f'ing pissed off. Oh, and it's riddled with metallic riff breakdowns which absolutely clinched it for me (give it 2:20 into the album opener to see what I mean). Turn up the volume and let off some steam with me by streaming "Sinceforevertilwhenever" here.
