As General Chair of Minnesota Swimming for the past four years, Jim Hanton has played a key role in the LSC's growth and improvements. Besides his day to day duties of strategic planning, leading the board of directors and working with the budget, Hanton helps to organize the team of volunteers behind Minnesota Swimming. He explains that his main goal has been to help facilitate the efforts of really dedicated board members: "The well-accepted common objective is to serve athletes. It's always about the athletes." The board works on creating and executing new projects to create a better experience for everyone in the LSC. Hanton helps the community stay on track with their goals. "I'm there to hold people accountable, for cheerleading and supporting and commending people for their efforts."
With all that Hanton has accomplished, he's most proud of his role in bringing new initiatives to Minnesota Swimming. The Facility Development Initiative has worked to create a fund within their financial structure for assisting clubs that need pool construction or pool renovation. Hanton explains,"We realized that every time a pool or facility is closed, it has a negative impact on the community we serve. We had to find a way to 'put our money where our mouth is' and show support." Although the budget isn't deep enough to build a brand new facility, it pays off that they're able to contribute to helping clubs and their facilities. It has meant more options for both training and competition for Minnesota Swimmers.
Another program that Hanton set into action is the Competitive Excellence Program. The program came to fruition based on the question of "What can we do to raise the outcome of athletes across the spectrum?" With the recent approval of this program, Minnesota Swimming will be implementing a lot of new opportunities to help all athletes. Coaches will be offered extra support through enhanced professional training and a new mentor program. They hope to bring in a business consultant to help organizations attract new athletes to the sport. Swimmers will have more opportunities to participate in training camps and open water swimming. Hanton explains, "It's not just for the elite. Competitive Excellence is for swimmers across the board. We want to make sure our athletes continue to improve and perform at a higher level."
For Hanton, giving back to the sport comes naturally. He grew up swimming in Minnesota and met his wife, Carrie while they were both competing at Hamline University. He was a swim parent to their kids Rick, Jamie and Jack and couldn't stand sitting in the stands, so he ended up becoming an official. From there, it was an easy progression to the board.
Hanton says the reasons he volunteers are endless: "I know that I can help and I truly enjoy the people and the kids. I had a ten year old kid come up to me and say 'thank you.' To me, that makes it all worth it." Volunteering is an important way to show kids how to give back. Hanton says, "It's great modeling for the kids when they see you volunteering. It shows them commitment and helps them to realize that what they're doing as athletes is important." Although his four year term as Chair ends in April, Hanton has no plans to walk away from the sport. Look for him on deck officiating and finding other ways to give back. "It's all about the pay it forward," he says.

"Why am I doing it? Three reasons, I guess. First, I love poetry books, and I feel I haven't devoted nearly enough space to celebrating them here. I've been trapped in pre-conceived and rather boring notions of how to write about books, I think, and I'm hoping to break out of that. "Second, I'm curious about what a month-long immersion in poetry reading will do to me. Will it be mind-altering? Almost certainly. Will it change the way I read poetry? Maybe. Will it prove to be an overdose, and send me rushing naked and screaming into the streets? Well, let's hope not."

It was the poet UA Fanthorpe who wrote about London's secret rivers; "The currents that chiselled the city," was how she put it. "Effra, Graveney, Falcon, Quaggy / Wandle, Walbrook, Tyburn, Fleet." Now a new iPhone app, City Poems, hopes to do much the same for the capital's forgotten poetic heritage, or the lines, if you will, that flow beneath its streets.

It started off quite slow. Are you sure you don't want a fish, the artist kept asking me as we mapped out my image on tracing paper. Everybody else gets a fish. Just water, I said, just waves. The tattoo was to celebrate --- some kind of new awakening, finally going back to grad school to get my PhD in Lit like I always wanted, finally believing I could achieve something more.

Day scores 17 of season-high 28 points in second half
WENHAM, Mass. (February 3, 2018) – The Western New England University men's basketball team erased a 16-point second half deficit before eventually falling to Gordon College, 84-77, on Saturday afternoon in Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) action at the Bennett Center.
Top Performers
• Freshman guard EJ Day (Norwalk, Conn.) made the most of his 30 minutes off the bench, scoring a season-high 28 points on 9-of-14 shooting from the field, 2-of-3 from beyond the arc, and 8-of-9 from the free throw line. Day also recorded two steals and one rebound in the contest.
• Sophomore Tim Reilly (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) led Western New England's starting unit with 15 points and six boards, while junior Mikey Pettway (Bridgeport, Conn.) and freshman Zach Tavitian (Milford, Conn.) also scored in double figures with 12 and ten points, respectively.
• Sophomore guard Eric Demers (Acushnet, Mass.) powered the Fighting Scots with a game-high 41 points on 14-of-27 shooting, including 6-of-12 from three-point range to go with a 7-of-8 effort at the charity stripe.
• Junior forward Garrisson Duvivier (Brockton, Mass.) posted a double-double with 16 points, 15 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block.
Game Review
Trailing 48-38 at halftime, Western New England faced its largest deficit of the afternoon after Demers sank a pair of free throws to give the Fighting Scots a 60-44 advantage at the 16:44 mark of the second half.
Day went 2-for-2 at the free throw line 13 seconds later, in the process starting an 18-2 run over the next six minutes that saw the Golden Bears pull even at 62-62. Day scored eight points during the run, while Tavitian capped the rally with a three-pointer at the 10:35 mark.
Day and Demers went back and forth in the late stages of the contest, as Day drained a deep trey to knot the score at 71-71 with 4:30 remaining, before putting the Golden Bears ahead 74-73 two minutes later when he completed a three-point play.
Demers answered with a triple on the other end, however, giving the Fighting Scots the lead for good with 2:25 to play. Senior guard Jaren Yang (San Francisco, Calif.) extended it to a four-point game (78-74) when he made two free throws with 1:05 on the clock, and the Fighting Scots sealed the win at the charity stripe down the stretch.
Gordon claimed a ten-point lead (23-13) after junior guard Jake Haar (Huntington Beach, Calif.) hit a three-pointer seven minutes into the contest. Western New England closed the gap to three (31-28) when Day made a pair of free throws at the 6:07 mark, but the Fighting Scots were able to push their lead back to ten at the break.
• Day registered a new career-high for the second time this week after scoring 21 points in Tuesday's loss to Endicott.
• The Fighting Scots outrebounded the Golden Bears 40-25.
• Western New England scored 24 points off 20 Gordon turnovers. The Golden Bears turned the ball over just ten times, marking the sixth time this season they have had ten or fewer turnovers.
Up Next
Western New England (9-12, 5-9 CCC) and Gordon (14-7, 10-4 CCC) will both be back in action on Wednesday, as the Golden Bears travel to Milton, Mass. to take on Curry College and the Fighting Scots make the short trip to Beverly to face Endicott College.

Furniture repair can be a timely and costly task to most inexperienced homeowners. However, a simple drawer runner repair can be easily done with these hints. In addition, these repair hints can also save the furniture owner time and money.
Check the drawer runners and guide for wear versus the wood being split. The split wood should be replaced, but the worn runner can be repaired and reused.
Remove the old runner and nails using a hammer. Reset a worn runner by gluing the runner on the drawer case with the worn side down. Use clamps to hold the runner in place while the glue dries.
Nail or screw the runner in place. If you use screws, make the old nail holes slightly smaller than the screws. Use two to three number eight or number ten screws per runner. Be sure the screws heads are not wider than the runner.
Countersink the nails if you use nails instead of screws to secure the runner. This keeps the nails from interfering with the drawer opening and closing.
Add a new piece of hardwood to the runner as another option to repair the drawer runner. Form a smooth mortised strip along the drawer edge and glue a new piece of wood on the edge to build the runner back to its original size. This allows the drawer to run evenly and smoothly again.

Story by Marie-Lise Baneton on 09/06/2019CHIVRES, Belgium -- A pair of boxing gloves came to complete the collections of the Mons Memorial Museum Aug. 30 during the commemorations marking the 75th anniversary of the town's liberation. More than historic artifacts, they represent how fortunes of war can cross paths of individuals in the most unexpected manner.
The gloves belonged to Tech. Sgt. Daniel Lau, an American Soldier assigned to the U.S. Army 28th Infantry (Lightning) Division, who met the Bauwens family in their home in December 1944.
Tech. Sgt. Lau and his comrades-in-arms were in Mons as replacement troops for the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the U.S. Army. The squad taken up the entire area and some of the Soldiers found shelter in the Bauwens' tavern. Marcel Bauwens, then 14, noticed Lau could not find a place to sleep. The teenager gave him his bed and slept on the floor, in the Soldier's sleeping bag.
The grateful 25-year-old Soldier had not slept in sheets for months. He befriended the family and gave the teenager his boxing gloves as a sign of appreciation before heading to the Ardennes front a few days later.
A new friendship was born and both families are still in touch to this day. It is no coincidence that Bauwens named their daughter Danielle after the young Soldier.
The veteran, who just celebrated his 100th birthday this past summer, was not able to travel to Belgium. His son Jeff, who now serves as a Honorary Consul of Belgium in Hawaii, made the trip to Mons to tell the story of the Chinese Americans during World War II and, in particular, his father's accounts in the war.
"Every trip that we've made here, they've tried to give [the boxing gloves] back to us. But we said no, they really belong here and now we're very fortunate to have them remain here in Mons in this museum," said Jeff Lau.
When the United States entered World War II, about 29,000 people of Chinese ancestry lived in Hawaii and another 78,000 lived on the mainland. By war's end, over 13,000 were serving in all branches of the Army Ground Forces and Army Air Forces.
"There is a long story behind how the Chinese American Soldier ended up here, not only surviving the Pearl Harbor attacks while at Schofield Barracks but then also the Hrtgen Forest Battle, despite being wounded three times," said Jeff Lau.
His father had no plans of joining the military. He was a star athlete at the University of Hawaii and was about to sign a professional baseball contract when he was drafted. He was assigned to the 298th Infantry Regiment, 100th Infantry Battalion and received training in preparation for a potential war.
"The day after the Pearl Harbor attack, the military took all of the Japanese Americans out of the 100th Battalion and set them aside. Many of them were University of Hawaii graduates, ROTC cadets, and they were shocked that they took all their weapons away," said Jeff Lau.
"They immediately came back and volunteered, but they wouldn't let them fight so they ended up being assigned to a construction brigade, helping to create the fences around the University of Hawaii and Schofield Barracks," he explained.
"Chinese Americans, however, were not assigned to separate units so they got scattered all around the world," he added.
His father was on leave during the Pearl Harbor attacks. He was at home, about 10 miles from the attack. The minute he and his friends heard bombs go off, they rushed to Schofield Barracks, only to see Pearl Harbor in flames. They immediately grabbed their weapons and tried to help in any way they could. They ended up at the Marine Corps Air Station to set up defenses against potential enemy attempts to take the islands.
"My father volunteered for the Army Air Corps. His other buddies, who were all Chinese Americans, volunteered to be fighter pilots. His first friend ended up becoming a fighter pilot and shot down several Messerschmitts before his own aircraft crashed in Belgium," Jeff Lau said.
Tech. Sgt. Daniel Lau received pilot training at the University of Pittsburgh, where he also met his future wife. He got his wings but shortly before he received his commission, the Army decided to send him to North Carolina and trained him for the Normandy invasion that was to occur a year and a half later.
"A number of my father's friends tried to fly in the Flying Tigers. A number of them were scattered in the fighting units in the South Pacific. My dad and a few of his cohorts --interestingly enough -- were sent to Europe," said Jeff Lau.
Upon training completion, the Soldiers boarded ocean liners in New York and left for England. They arrived in Europe Oct. 24, 1944 and were stationed in Bournemouth.
Lau's unit was one of the first units to cross the Remagen Bridge over the Rhine and then went all the way up to Berlin. By that time, he was already recuperating from his three wounds in Paris and then sent back to Hawaii.
"After 50 years, I tried to get something out of him," said Jeff Lau. "He said his job as a baseball player was to crawl underneath the windows of the buildings and throw grenades through the open windows. He said he did pretty good until one time he hit the bottom sill and the grenade came right back down. The saving grace for him was he was a pretty good runner so he was able to run around the corner, dive and survive his own grenade."
Most of their casualties rest at the Henri-Chapelle U.S. Military Cemetery in Belgium.
"The last time we were there with the 28th ID guys, the remaining survivors were really touched. They thought My gosh, 50 years later, we are still alive, we are still in one piece, we could afford to come back and relive those sites.' Many of them never talked about it for 50 years until then. And that's when they all started breaking down, at Henri-Chapelle," Jeff Lau said.
At war's end, service members were recognized for their sacrifices and most major minorities were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.
"The 20,000 Chinese Americans didn't get the same recognition, because they were scattered in all the fields; unlike all the other groups, they were not in a specific unit," said Jeff Lau.
"The Chinese Americans got zero recognition as a group until this year. There is only about 50 Chinese American survivors left. We have already recognized about 150 to 200 families, just in Hawaii alone. There are large groups in San Francisco, Austin, Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. We will ensure all the remaining survivors receive the U.S. Congressional Gold Medal," he concluded.

From the medium-sized domestic plant, via projects on commercial buildings and agricultural, up to industrial large-scale and ground-mounted plants – OnaSolar covers the entire commercial output range with efficient smart solutions.
Profitability in mind
Specifically for OnaSolar commercial large-scale power plants, profitability plays a special role. All components must be aligned perfectly and must offer an ideal price/performance ratio. Particularly, our commercial solutions have decisive influence on plant design and therewith on the power generation cost. OnaSolar Commercial Solutions contribute to the reduction of the plant costs and therewith constitute an important prerequisite for each investor with the desire of marketing his solar power in an economically competitive manner.
Different plants and ambient conditions
The output power range of commercial solar power plants is wide and comprises many different types – from the heterogeneous rooftop to the homogeneous ground-mounted plant – that are partially subject to aggravated ambient conditions. In addition to different roof surfaces and irradiation conditions, there are dust and dirt, that's why OnaSolar Commercial Solutions uses a strong materials and building their pre-assembled AC power rooms to protect their electronic devices to withstand the most diverse weather conditions.
Comprehensive monitoring and grid management
The larger the plant, the more important mobile plant monitoring and automatic alarm generation is in the event of failures. One or several data loggers recording operating and yield data and possible events are the prerequisite for regular and comprehensive control. From the grid operators' point of view, who must guarantee a stable grid, it becomes more and more important that inverters also provide grid management functions and, therefore, contribute to the increase in grid stability.

Your preschooler watches Little Einsteins on a daily basis and he's seen the movie Monsters vs. Aliens at least 20 times. He may not be able to rattle off the planets in the correct order, but he at least has a basic knowledge of the solar system, right? While you can thank cartoons and movies for giving your child an idea of what aliens and rocket ships are, his knowledge may end there. Feed off your child's natural curiosity with some educational solar system activities.
Orbiting Planets
Introduce your little one to the idea that the planets revolve around the sun by creating a simple craft. Cut a large circle from black construction paper and cut a smaller circle from yellow paper. Use the black to represent space and the yellow to represent the sun. Stack the circles on top of each other and fasten them with a metal brad that allows the black paper to rotate. Search online for printable pictures of the planets or draw your own and allow your child to color and cut them out. Using glue, attach the planets onto the black circle so your preschooler can spin them around the sun. For a more advanced version, attach each planet to rectangular pieces of black construction paper of various lengths and glue the pieces to the main black circle so that the planets are in the correct order, with Mercury attached to the shortest piece of paper, and each other planet attached to a slightly longer piece.
Solar System Flash Cards
Make your own set of solar system flash cards to familiarize your preschooler with the objects in the solar system. If you are an artistic momma, draw your own objects on blank index cards. If drawing isn't your thing, print them from the computer. You can create flash cards for the planets, sun and moon. Write the name of each item on the back of the card and use them for a guessing game. By creating a double set, you can also use the cards for a matching game.
Space Shuttle Game
Take a trip through the solar system by helping your preschooler create his own space shuttle. Save an empty paper towel roll and paint it white. Cut a white triangle large enough to serve as wings and attach it to the tube. Create engine fire by gluing strips of red paper into the bottom end and your little astronaut is ready to launch his space shuttle. Your preschooler can use the rocket ship to play a game representing how far the moon and the various planets are from Earth. Use other round objects to represent the planets and let your little astronaut launch his shuttle from planet to planet.
Moon Rocks
Your little one has probably seen the moon, but he might not realize that it is part of the solar system. He may even think it's made of cheese. To help your preschooler learn about the closest body to Earth in our solar system, go outside and gather 10 to 15 rocks to use for a moon rock activity. Help your preschooler cover the rocks with aluminum foil to transform them into moon rocks. When the rocks are covered, have a scavenger hunt with your little one by hiding the rocks indoors or outside. Let him pretend to be an astronaut and see how quickly he can discover all the rocks. You can have him hop and jump as he looks for them, to pretend that he's running in the moon's low gravity.

14 L'Oreal Paris Shine Caresse Lip Stain Swatches
I love lip glosses. They make your lips look plump and attractive, especially when they give your lips a slight tint making it appear perfectly natural and luscious. One such gloss was introduced by L'Oreal. I happened to go to the drug store with my mom a few days back when I laid my eyes on the "L'Oreal Paris Shine Caresse†range. It was new, and I had to give it a try.
The minute I swatched it I realized that this product is going to be something all girls would die for. In fact my mom herself like it so much that she got me one and got herself two shades from the range. It is an amazing product so I had to share the swatches with everyone.
About L'Oreal Paris Shine Caresse:
Now hydration & shine meet lasting, lightweight color. With Shine Caresse, discover a lip gloss that doubles up as a lip stain. This next generation lip color combines the texture & shine of a gloss with the long-wear ability of a stain. It delivers a lasting color with a subtle glossy shine.
The high moisturizing gloss is non-sticky, can be worn light as a tint or intense like a lip color and stays pure even hours after application.
Price: Rs 499 for 6ml.
L'Oreal Paris Shine Caresse Swatches:
It comes in a gold colored package with a see through strip exposing the color and the quantity of the product. The packaging itself is so compact and sturdy making it absolutely perfect for travel. The shades of the range are as follows-
1-Bella 604 – a peach-ish shade with pink undertones.
2- Rave 804 – a nice bright orange, a little lighter but.
3- Juliette 702 – a mild red
4- Ruby 703 – a beautiful combination of red and pink shades.
5- Cherie 609 – very similar to ruby but a bit more closer to pink.
6- Maya 813 – a perfect nude brown.
7- Flora 610 – an almost nude toffee shade
8- Grace 903– a dark grape shade (something very uncommon)
9- Milady 603 – a bright pink shade with blue-ish undertones (Almost Lavender).
10- Eve 605 – a very bold and dark berry shade
11- Lolita 606 – a very pretty shade of mauve.
12- Pretty Woman 900 – a nice nude brown shade.
13- Faye 804– a beautiful mild shade of coral (I love this one!)
14- Venus 600– the lightest pink (soooo light that it is almost transparent)
The applicator is leaf shaped and is till date the most convenient applicator I have ever come across. The bristles are soft and ensure a clean swipe. The texture of the gloss seems very smooth and gives a cooling effect when applied. The shades seem to be very light and do not give the opaque finish which will be expected by heavily pigmented lips.
Final verdict: This is a product worth being given a chance. I love it and I am sure you will too.

Last week, in explaining why the beleaguered NBA all-star Gilbert Arenas wasn't a part of voting for NBA Jam's roster, EA Sports indicated it could later add him to the game with a WiiWare update. They've backtracked on that statement.
Sporting News' First Cuts, which first reported the explanation for Arenas' absence from the voting, has now been told by EA that it can't commit to WiiWare updates for the title. Sounds like someone spoke too soon. The comment was notable because so few sports games, if any, receive post-release support over WiiWare the way they do with updates over Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.
Not to rip EA Sports too hard, but it's object lesson No. 1 of why honesty is the best policy. Gilbert Arenas is suspended for the rest of the season and was recently sentenced on firearms charges for a stunt that embarrassed the league and its players. But his inactive status was only partially cited by EA Sports' original statement, and then largely as a technicality, as the reason for leaving him out of the voting. But any fan would have understood that the guy is completely radioactive, and no one selling a mass-market product would want anything to do with him right now.

Don't Throw Out That Dye!23 Apr
Are you dyeing eggs this weekend? Do you hate dyeing eggs but desperately need a novelty for your kids on day 9872947 of rain? (If you don't dye eggs, wait until Monday and pick some up at 50% off clearance. I'm planning on stocking up.)
Just use the old Easter egg dye, dump in 1/2 cup of white rice and let sit for however long you want. Strain and dry in the oven on the lowest temperature it will maintain for a few hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
As cool as it looks all on one pan, I'd suggest putting each color in individual pie pans to prevent the colors from bleeding into each other.
I plan on pulling out our jar of rainbow rice on the next rainy day and setting it out on the table in a big tub with cups and spoons for the kids to play with. Or, if I'm being realistic, I'll put it in 2 separate tubs with exactly the same amount of rice, same color cups, and equal number of spoons.
Heels and Makeup21 Apr
Initially, I was so disappointed. Our kids and my friend's kids were both on the tail end of different illnesses and we didn't want to infect each other with a new round of the sicks. Aaron and I couldn't go on the date we had been planning for weeks. I was grouching around the house when Aaron suggested we go on a family date. That didn't appeal to me ONE BIT but since it got me out of cooking dinner, I agreed.
I stood in the bathroom, wearing heels, muttering about putting on makeup for running errands with the family. Ella came in and her little jaw dropped. "Mama," she exclaimed. "This must be a real date! You're wearing fancy shoes and putting on makeup!" Her grin threatened to split her face as she ran off to find her own shoes and coat.
That stopped my muttering.
It made Ella feel special to see me take the time and energy into our family adventure. It showed that I thought it was important enough to look my best. It showed I thought she was important.
So I quit muttering. I quit grumping. I put in earrings and we all had a wonderful evening on our family date.
Using My Listening Ears11 Apr
Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what.
If you don't listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won't tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff.
– Catherine M. Wallace
That quote has been swirling through my head recently, working towards the surface of my consciousness just when I need it the most.When I'm tempted to say, "Just let me finish this chapter, Ella, then we can talk" or "I need to write an email first", I remember that now is the time to lay a foundation of communication. A foundation of belief that I always care about and respect what she wants to share with me. The opportunity won't always be here and the email can wait. The chapter will still be there when I get back to it. Even if it's the millionth conversation about maned wolves, I still need to appear engaged. I can, on occasion, multi task my mind by responding to her while formulating my grocery list. Even then, I have to be careful to remain present in our conversation. Her life revolves around maned wolves, but it won't always be so simple.
Someday, her life will revolve around things outside of our home, the life we share. She will build her own relationships, her own interests, her own set of worries and stresses that I have no control over or direct influence. Our conversations and what she shares with me will be my only window into her life. If I don't take her 3 year old size cares, worries and triumphs seriously, how can I expect her to share with me her teenage cares, worries and triumphs?
For now, I'm putting aside books, knitting and emails in favor of foundations. It can be hard to listen and take her seriously right now, but it will be even harder to try and build this foundation when she's twelve. So here's to maned wolves, for they are the forerunner to open and genuine relationships later on.

New WIP: Picnic Wrap3 Apr
I have fallen head over heels for this lovely yarn, Vero. It's such a shame it's been discontinued. The aran weight varies from thick to thin as the color variegates. My wrap is knitting up quickly and I foresee it blocking much wider than it's knitting, but not so much in length. I'm excited! This is the first item I've ever knit for myself. 🙂

An exchange with a friend, X, a Manchester City supporter. The meat of it is here. It can serve as a kind of literary model:
X: can I mention the derby yet, George? I was very happy to be in Manchester that day.
me: I had already covered it in the blog, X. But congratulations.
X: Nice blog, George. though you clearly didn't watch the game. Second half, we destroyed you, and Dzeko also missed 3 sitters. It could easily have been double figures. Anyway, as you know, I'm not one to gloat. I'm just happy I was in Manchester for that.
me: And you had a man advantage, I believe. So that's two halves, one of which you dominated, the other that you didn't. And once you start counting missed chances you never stop. And three goals after the 90th minute when United were attacking with a man down... I'd never put you down for a gloater. But do send another email to tell me you're not and to regale me with a few more statistics, just to assure me. I am quite happy to be a gloatee.
X: well, i have to answer your points, George! So here are the points, stats in a none-gloaty way.
We had a man advantage, fairly, because of a woeful professional foul on Balotelli when he was clean through. You can't claim that as being hard done by!
Talking of goals after the 90th minute - I thought that's how champions assert their authority. You should know George that your team has scored more goals after the 90th minute than any other in the Premier league!
We destroyed you second half. And were already 1-0 up at half-time. when it was 11 v 11.
(Another short one about the Poznan from X just to keep up the pressure.)
me: Blimey, you wouldn't think you were a literary chap, X. I did not claim we were 'hard done by'. That is a classic straw man argument. Accuse a writer of saying something he did not say then tell him he was wrong to say it. Nor did I say a single word about 'fairness'. Try looking for the word in my email. 'And we were already 1-0 up at half time': I do not call that a very big deal, X. 1-0 down is not a big score. United have often been 1-0 down at half time. Soon after half-time we were a man down too. Perfectly fairly (as if I said anything to the contrary!), but it does make a difference.
As to scoring after 90 minutes, quite right. But I have never claimed that United scoring 2 or 3 goals after 90 minutes were up was a sign of anything. Another straw man. When United beat Bayern in that 1999 final with two goals in added time, I never claimed that made United the better team. I thought Bayern played better through most of the match and they did in fact hit the woodwork twice in the minutes preceding United's goals. I simply rejoiced, as you may rejoice, in winning.I didn't claim United 'destroyed' Arsenal in that 8-2 win earlier this season, nor when they beat Roma 7-0. I said it was remarkable. And so was this. This was a remarkable result. You go with your destruction metaphor, I'll stay with the ones I am comfortable with even when winning. I wish City good luck in winning. It may or may not make City champions. (I should add that I did not write to any Bayern Munich fans in either a gloaty or non-gloaty way. Mind you, that may be because I didn't know any.)
It strikes me you are making up possible objections to the win and attributing them to me, just in case I should dare even think it was unfair. It's a well worn strategy. Try quoting from what I said to see if that attribution - any attribution - stands up. Good luck with that as well.
City won fair and square. Will that do? Such things happen.
With comradely best wishes,
x: 'destroyed' was ferguson's word. nor have i ever heard him before saying they should have defended for damage limitation after 3-1! humiliated is another good word. record breaking on 11 counts.
me: X, my felicitations. You were talking about my email, not about Ferguson's words. Now I am working, and that is enough gloating for one day. There must be other straw men out there.
X: no, George, i was talking about what city did to united. despite your claims of mitigating circumstances: 11 men, ten men, kids.
balotelli has just turned 20.
At this point I turned off the tap. X is of course utterly non-gloaty. He just wants a little more blood through that tap. Comradely greetings every time. It's what friends are for, isn't it?

While the forums are still active, I'll post this here for posterity.
Ever since Kifaru discontinued the field chair, it has become a collector's item, fetching some high prices on the 2nd hand market. They have been and remain a very ingenious and practical solution to backcountry lounging, and has the added versatility of being used as a shooting mat/tripod.
I recently stumbled across a site that carries what looks to be an ultralite chair inspired by Kifaru's design, the "Qwikback UL Chair" by Litesmith. Its 2.65 oz and currently about $60.00.
I am not associated with this company, nor have I ever purchased or used this chair. Figured I'd leave the info here for anyone looking for an alternative to the Kifaru Field Chair or don't want to drop the coin that people are asking for them on the used/2nd hand market.

Above the Call is a new event with Rich Broadcasting to thank law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics and others for their service.
In partnership with Pocatello Nissan Kia and KPVI 6, we proudly present the Above the Call initiative. Above the Call recognizes the good work that public safety responders do every day to make each of our lives better. This is out way of thanking law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics and others for their service.
You can nominate someone special within your community and if selected, they will receive our weekly recognition, an honoree plaque and be invited to a V.I.P. banquet at the end of the year.
We are excited for the opportunity to thank those that make sacrifices every day for us.
Listen every Monday as we highlight the everyday heroes who work tirelessly to keep us safe.
Above the Call is made possible with gratitude and appreciation from Rick Broadcasting, Pocatello Nissan Kia and KPVI 6.
The person who nominated Sgt. Edwards had this to say:
Sgt. Edwards has been with the county for 25 1/2 years. Started out in the BCSO Jail in 1991.
Transferred to patrol 1995, has worked several positions within the department.
In 1999 he was directing traffic after a rival game between BHS and HHS. Jeff was struck by a car (a witness stated Jeff went as high as a telephone pole before coming down,) As he was lying there going in and out of consciousness, the young lady came running to the accident scene and Jeff woke up briefly and told her everything will be alright. He was on leave for 3 months and returned and did light duty for almost a year after physical therapy released him. He was known as the "Come back cop." In 2003 his kidneys failed and he found out he would need a transplant. Jeff continued to work full time and worked his schedule around his duties. He will celebrate his transplant this August 14 yrs.
With all of Jeff's trials that he had in such a short time he did not disappoint the Sheriff's office. He continues to keep our community safe. Jeff is well known in our community and liked by many. I have done several ride a longs and always amazes me what a great community we live in, he can give a ticket and people thank him for his duties.
If I could I would nominate the whole Sheriff's Office.

Police say a section of hoarders are actually manufacturing, storing and selling liquor, passing them off as popular whiskey and rum brands. While two separate cases in this regard have been lodged at the Burtolla police station, EB officials say they are probing similar complaints from central and south Kolkata areas including Shakespeare Sarani. "We have lodged two cases under cheating and conspiracy and section 63 and 65 of the Copyright Act. The brands which we found compromised were the lower and middle-rung ones. Most importantly, the packaging made it look as if the alcohol was genuine," pointed out an investigating officer.
The development is not a new one. Kolkata has been part of a pan-India network produces spurious liquor. In 2011, after a gang that 'manufactured' well-known Scotch brands in Delhi was busted, police said these fake brands were supplied to Mumbai and Kolkata. "One such player, Narender Chopra who supplied fake bottle caps, stickers and labels, has units in Mumbai and Kolkata too. We believe the fake liquor went to these two cities as well. In this case also, we have found the caps to be genuine. It seems the bottling is done in Kolkata but the main brains are operating from somewhere in the two Parganas," said an investigating officer.
"We won't be surprised if these bottles get to the big retail outlets. Apparently, the liquor is made with a fine mixture of chemicals without compromising with the original taste and flavour of that particular brand. The labels can also easily pass off as original. The department also found rectified spirit which would have been used to manufacture more such liquor varieties," said an officer.
"We are sending the samples for a thorough chemical test to ascertain the impurities added to the liquor. They might be extremely dangerous for human consumption. All the men engaged in manufacturing the liquor, however, managed to escape," he added.

Howdy, peeps! Friday is FINALLY here!
What happened with ya'll this week? Any annoyances besides the obvious shitstorm happening?
You know what? So I tried app dating and what is with supposedly available guys on those things who say three lines and then silence themselves. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but it's damn frustrating trying to have normal conversations with someone who willingly put themselves on there and 'liked' me. Fuck that noise.

"Meditation will open whole new worlds for you," the psychic proclaimed.
"I know nothing about it. How do I start?" I was really just being polite. Dragged to this session unwittingly – I thought we were going to be playing euchre – I didn't want to burst my friends' bubbles by telling them how skeptical I was.
"It's really very simple. Find a place and time where you know you won't be interrupted, clear your mind, and focus on the center of your being."
Really simple. I decided to try it, since the woman had said a few things that hit home. Maybe she was right about this too.
Step one turned out to be a problem. I was twenty-eight years old, and pregnant with baby number three. Finding a consistent time and place to practice meditation was a challenge. If and when the girls did nap at the same time, I would use those moments to do laundry, prepare a meal, or try to catch a few winks myself.
"Make time," she had insisted when I told her about my busy schedule. "It is up to you."
I felt so inadequate as a spiritual being, and at the same time driven to prove I could do it. I grabbed every minute of solitude that I could find. I would learn to practice the art at the drop of a hat. I would become super meditator.
The psychic was right. I had profound revelations, and discovered a new source of wisdom from within. It was amazing.
"Doing it in the same place, and at the same time, communicates your intent to the subconscious, unleashing the inner wisdom," she had explained.
It was true. With practice, every time I went to my meditation place I would experience that connection, and sometimes even without seeking it, insights would flow.
Then one day, an amazing thing happened. I was out for lunch with a business associate and we were trying to figure out a mutual problem. Neither one of us could find a solution, until I excused myself and went to the Ladies' room.
Clarity overcame me before I could even flush the toilet, and as I excitedly revealed the answer to my colleague, I marveled at how easily the idea came to me……in the bathroom…..the same place where I practiced meditation at home.
It seems that my subconscious mind is not particular about which bathroom I use. Now I experience inspiration when nature calls.

That is all for our live coverage of another tragedy in the heart of our city. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.
You can read more about what happened here.
That is all for our live coverage of another tragedy in the heart of our city. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.
You can read more about what happened here.
Victoria Police have released the ages of the attacker and the two injured victims. The attacker who was shot and died in hospital was 31 years old.
A 26-year-old and a 58-year-old man were stabbed and taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The man who was killed is yet to be formally identified.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has issued the following statement on today's Bourke Street terror attack, and has said Australians will "never be intimated by these appalling attacks".
I condemn the act of terrorism in Melbourne today that has tragically taken the life of a fellow Australian who has died as a result of this evil and cowardly attack.
I praise the bravery of the police who were on the scene and took action and those who selflessly came to the assistance of the injured and provided comfort to the distressed.
This attack is being treated as a terrorism incident.
I have been briefed together with the Minister for Home Affairs by our law enforcement and security agencies this evening and an investigation by the Joint Counter Terrorism Team is underway, led by the Victorian Police.
I have spoken this evening with the Premier of Victoria and Leader of the Opposition. Federal and State agencies are working closely together.
Victorian Police have advised there is no ongoing threat. However, the investigation will continue.
Australians will never be intimidated by these appalling attacks and we will continue to go about our lives and enjoy the freedoms that the terrorists detest.
A prominent Launceston businessman has been injured in the Bourke Street attack.
Rod Patterson was taken to The Alfred and his injuries are unknown at this stage.
His wife, Maree, posted to social media thanking everyone for their wishes.
"So unfortunately we got caught up in the attack in Bourke Street this afternoon and Rodney was hurt – good news is he is in a great hospital and doing OK given the circumstances," she wrote.
Mr Patterson, a former Autobarn franchisee and president of the South Launceston Football Club, owns an apartment in Melbourne.
Three men were stabbed during today's attack, and one of them died of his injuries. Mr Patterson and one other man are still in hospital.
Opposition Leader Matthew Guy has said "enough is enough", that there was no room for "moral squeamishness" and that all the state's resources should be used to ensure the safety of Victorians.
"We need to eradicate this sort of behaviour, because enough is enough."
He said Friday's attack was the third such attack in as many years.
"We do not have to live like this. we should not have to endure this."
Here is the video of the media conference on the Bourke Street attack /note, video cuts out between 0:30 and 1:00):
The main new information from Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton was:
Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said three men were stabbed during the Bourke Street incident.
He said the three men were rushed to Royal Melbourne Hospital, and that one man died from his wounds. The man's next of kin were being notified and his identity will not be released at this stage, he said.
Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said Stakes races at Flemington, A-League soccer matches and Remembrance Day commemorations would still go ahead in Melbourne and people should attend.
He said while police were treating the Bourke Street incident as a terror attack the public should not be concerned there was an ongoing threat.

Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) detects states of anxiety and depression in an adult population. Originally developed by Zigmond and Snaith (1983) and is commonly used to determine the levels of anxiety and depression that a patient is experiencing.
The HADS is a fourteen item scale that generates ordinal data, and takes 2- 5 minutes to complete. Seven of the items relate to anxiety and seven relate to depression. Zigmond and Snaith created this outcome measure specifically to avoid reliance on aspects of these conditions that are also common somatic symptoms of illness, for example fatigue and insomnia or hypersomnia.
This, it was hoped, would create a tool for the detection of anxiety and depression in people with physical health problems.

Kodak Polychrome Graphics Announces First Check Desktop Color Proofer
Friday, September 07, 2001
Press release from the issuing companyChicago, Illinois, USA - Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG) announced today the introduction of Kodak Polychrome Graphics First Check Desktop Color Proofer. The First Check proofer's extensive color capabilities are expected to be particularly attractive to both independent and in-house packaging designers as well as general commercial printers. In addition to the process colors of cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK), the First Check system can print spot orange, green and black; opaque white; gold and silver foils; gold and silver metallics; and a finish coat, on a variety of substrates. Proofing media include four papers (standard commercial, high-quality commercial, matte, and publication), a transfer film, and a shrink-wrap film. Standard media size is 13"x19". "The transfer film will allow package designers to apply their images to other papers and board, as well as some plastics," says Gary Ryerson, Director, Worldwide Marketing - Proofing, Kodak Polychrome Graphics, "and the shrink-wrap capability will enable them to produce virtually any kind of package mockup they want. Our conversations with designers indicate that these capabilities will fill a real void in the packaging market, particularly at this price point." The First Check system, which is being introduced at a suggested retail price of $5,000, has been designed to be extremely easy to use. For example, it is impossible to mix colors up. A user can drop any ribbon cartridge in any of nine compartments; the First Check proofer will read the bar codes on the cartridges, know what color is where, and go to the right place to find any particular color. As long as a desired color is in the machine somewhere, it will print properly. The system is designed to offer calibration-free color, delivering the appropriate color accurately even with different batches of ribbon. The proofer prints by a thermal dry proofing technology employing pigmented ribbons. It is capable of printing at a true 600x600dpi resolution, and with 2400 dpi addressability it is able to reproduce smooth text and linework. The pigment-based inks are completely dry and fadeproof, and offer accurate color matching with a number of different color systems. The color consistency delivered by the First Check system - within a proof, proof to proof, or proofer to proofer - is superior to that offered by dye sublimation or ink-jet systems. The Kodak Polychrome Graphics First Check Desktop Color Proofer will be commercially available in November, 2001. It will be offered directly from KPG via the Internet at www.desktopproofing.com. The First Check proofer images by multi-pass serial printing at a print head resolution of 600 x 600 dpi, using a 240-dot print head element. Print speed is 10 inches per second; the device requires just over 15 minutes to produce a full-size (A3) CMYK proof at 2400 dpi. The maximum image area is 12.69" (322.4mm) x 17.95" (654mm). Its dimensions are 22.36"W x 10.63"D x 7.96"H; weight is 21 lb. (9.5 Kg). Power supply, depending on region of use, is 100-240 volts, 50/60 Hz. The First Check system consists of the printer itself and a version of the Bestcolor Medium RIP. Initially, the system will be available only in a PC version, requiring Windows 98, ME, NT 4.0, or Windows 2000, with 64 MB minimum RAM (128 MB recommended). A Macintosh-based version will be available in early 2002. Standard interfaces are Di-di Parallel IEEE 1284, and USB.

I've been feeling very country-like lately.
I'm a sucker for a good piece of cake.
That One Time I Got Foie Gras-Wasted in ParisJuly 28, 2014
I'm not going to lie- when I travel, I usually like to eat my way through the city I'm visiting. I'm a firm believer that the culture and lifestyle of a destination is enhanced by the local dishes and flavors.
For my summer vacation this year, I went to visit one of my best friends in France. She's working on her master's degree in Paris and I also missed her very much, so I decided to spend some days with her. Continue Reading…

Therapeutic cupping or cupping massage is becoming more mainstream and you may have noticed athletes in the media who utilize this therapy for various sports injuries.
Possibly the most notable, Michael Phelps used this treatment modality during the Rio Olympics. He emerged prior to his race with the undeniable circular markings/bruising from cupping therapy on his back and shoulders. Cupping therapy is indicated for myofascial or muscle overuse injuries as sustained by swimmers due to the extreme overuse of shoulder muscles in an elite swimmer.
So what is cupping exactly?
Cupping is a therapeutic method involving the application of suction to create a vacuum effect on the skin. This is typically achieved through placing silicone or glass cups/jars directly on the skin.
What exactly is happening at the tissue level with the application of suction through cupping?
Suction creates a negative pressure at the skin, causing rupture of capillaries (tiny blood vessels). This leads to the characteristic circular bruising that occurs with cupping. Physiologically this leads to an increase in blood flow to the tissue and a resultant influx of chemical mediators involved in resolving inflammation.
What conditions are appropriately treated by therapeutic cupping?
- Muscle/myofacsial injuries from chronic overload such as neck/back pain
- Sports injuries of muscle/myofacsial origin i.e. overuse of muscles, overtraining, tendonitis
- Clinical trials have established effectiveness for low back/pelvic pain post-pregnancy, neck pain amongst office workers and osteoarthritis of the knee,

After a leaking natural gas line explosion on March 9 destroyed or damaged over three dozen businesses in the heart of Greenwood, you might think this neighborhood suffers from some seriously bad karma.
But adversity often brings out the best in people, bringing them together. The Greenwood community (and beyond in Seattle) is jumping to help. I call that pretty good karma.
People as far away as Kenmore, over 20 miles north, were awakened by the 1:40 a.m. blast, although some (like me) less than a mile or even a few blocks away, slept through it. Many thought it was an earthquake.
|Gas explosion fire 3/9/16. Photo credit to www.pbs.media
Thanks to social media, I learned what was going on quickly. #Greenwoodexplosion was all over Twitter, then I hopped to reddit, Nextdoor, and finally old-fashioned radio and television.
Within hours, several fundraising campaigns to support the many small businesses and employees affected were set up. A gofundme site has already raised over $44,500 (as of 3/13) through small private donations.
This morning I wandered over to check out the damage and support a few of the small cafes open, despite boarded up windows.
|This stretch of Greenwood Ave and these popular businesses now look like...
|This block, where the explosion occurred on the left, now looks like this...
|Okay, so it's winter now. But still, sad.
For about a 2-block radius, shattered windows are boarded over, but most businesses are open.
I strolled down Greenwood across the street from the blast and stopped to chat with a man holding a very cool bicycle. It was (Davey Oil) of G&O Family Cyclery, whose business next to Neptune Coffee was heavily damaged. For seeing his business shattered, he seemed surprisingly calm and upbeat.
"People say bad things about the low-income and homeless people in the neighborhood, but they were the ones who discovered the gas leak and called it in," said David. He wants to stay in Greenwood. "It's my neighborhood."
|David Guiglano of G&O Family Cyclery on Greenwood Avenue
Glass shards were still visible scattered on the sidewalk, and I almost tripped over a bucket of debris.
So this morning I'm headed back over to Greenwood Avenue to get morning tea, and I'll probably refill at a few businesses, just to help in a small way. A good account of the City's response and resources to help are described in this Seattle Times article.
How about you? Did you hear the explosion or know anyone affected by it? Think about joining the conversation with a comment below, and then checking out the link below for ways to support the Greenwood community and businesses. Thanks!

I was going to duck Stu Sternberg's recent comments about the state of the organization but, several folks have asked for my opinion both in the comments and by email so, I am happy to at least think about what Stu said rather than brushing it aside.
Let me start by saying that I am not angry at Stu and I don't think you should be either.
Stu made his comments in the clubhouse after an elimination game. He was upset just like the rest of us. When I get mad at the Rays after a frustrating loss, I say silly things too. Only, when I say them, it is just my wife that hears them. She makes fun of me ("right, because now you don't think Zobrist can play"), I take it back, the world goes on. I think it is a natural reaction. The difference between Stu and me (in this single scenario, because there are a lot of other differences, for example, I am much better looking) is that my wife doesn't work for a cable news network. In 2011, public figures do not have the luxury of speaking extemporaneously. So, I'll give him some rope and chalk the tone of the comments up to his frustration with the outcome of the game.
Second — and get ready because this is a bitter pill — we shouldn't be angry at him because, in a lot of ways, he's right. The Rays situation is currently unworkable.
There are a lot of legitimate reasons that we are not selling out the Trop. We have discussed them all at length and none of them have to do with fan loyalty. I think this club has some of the most loyal fans in the game and I have been consistently impressed by the high level of conversation we've had here this summer. But, we have to be honest and at least admit that there is a problem for the Rays economically, regardless of the cause. No business can function on declining revenue and that is just what the Rays are being asked to do. Maybe Stu made his point inartfully. (I have to believe he'd like another shot at it without the emotion of a season ending loss). But his point is solid.
Think about it. If we cannot get people to the Trop because of the economy, and its location, and the infancy of the club, and there is no sign of an economic revival, or a new ballpark, or deep club loyalty in the near future, then the situation is unworkable. The problems, regardless of their cause, do not seem to have good solutions. Yes, we are unlucky that such a remarkable run of success hit right in the middle of the worst American economy of our lives. But it is not unreasonable for Stu, as a business owner, to be frustrated by that reality. More importantly, despite what you might read in the newspapers, Stu doesn't have any moral or civic obligation to keep funding a financially unworkable endeavor.
I think the sting of all this comes from Stu's tone. He's a successful guy that saw what he thought to be low-hanging fruit. He saw a team in a solid market with a poor public image. Of course some investment in the ballpark, investment in the community, investment in the fans, and investment in the on-field product would automatically equal a sold-out house every night. He did his end, but didn't get the result he expected. That's frustrating and he lashed out.
In the end, though, I think Stu and his team missed the bigger picture. It's not baseball that can't work in Tampa Bay. It's the current Major League Baseball business model that can't work.
We love the game. But, in a sprawling community that is filled with active, outdoor-oriented people, you can't build your revenue model on corporate sales (we have no Fortune 500 headquarters), television revenue, and ticket revenue. You can't just take the business plan for the Yankees, Red Sox, or Cubs, cross out the names and write in your own. Those markets are fundamentally different.
I think this has been the only real failure of the Stu era. For all his creativity in marketing, public relations, and baseball operations, he has been decidedly conventional in his business operations.
For example, I read somewhere that the Rays season-ticket base is about 20%-30% lower than most other teams (I can't find the article so these numbers are coming from memory…I'll update them if you can find it). That shortage matches, almost exactly, the percentage of season tickets that other teams sell to big corporations in their markets. Stu had to know that Tampa is the biggest American city without a Fortune 500 headquarters when he bought the team. But no one seems to be asking why he didn't account for that in his plan. Why is he running the team as though there is population density around the park and corporate money in the system?
If we're going to save this thing, it's time for someone in the Rays business office to have a Moneyball idea about business modeling, rather than the bullpen. Perhaps that idea won't get Brad Pitt to play you in a movie, but it might allow our grandchildren to see Major League Baseball in their community.

Unless you've been living on a planet far, far, away from the galactic trade routes, you know there are only two practical choices of programming languages -- Java and Objective-C -- for developing native mobile apps. If you are an experienced C# codesmith who wanted to try your hand at Android or iOS app development, you were out of luck. No longer: Xamarin 2.0, an SDK produced by Xamarin, allows you to write Android and iOS apps using C# code. Equally important, you can do this with Microsoft's Visual Studio.
The Xamarin SDK is based on an open source project known as Mono that allows Microsoft .Net applications to run on other platforms. Xamarin currently consists of class libraries, a C# compiler, and a virtual machine. The class libraries implement the core APIs of Microsoft's .Net 4.0 framework. The compiler complies with the C# 5.0 standard, and it has support for namespaces and assemblies. The virtual machine executes the Common Language Infrastructure bytecode generated by the C# compiler.
The Xamarin SDK also provides platform-specific frameworks that work with Google's Android APIs and Apple's iOS APIs. However, these frameworks are not abstraction layer APIs that only access a lowest common denominator of platform services. Instead, they provide "bindings" -- mechanisms that enable C# method calls to properly invoke native methods designed for use with a different programming language -- to the native APIs for each platform. The Android API binding frameworks are called Mono for Android, while those for iOS are called MonoTouch. The result: Xamarin lets you write a native mobile app entirely in C# code.
To use the Xamarin SDK to its fullest, the app should be factored so that its UI code is uncoupled from its core algorithmic code. That is, you write the core algorithms with the .Net framework, then implement the native UI for each target platform using the Mono for Android and MonoTouch frameworks. The factored design allows the app to be built and deployed on both Android and iOS devices, where the app's core code uses the native API of the target platform. This scheme lets you repurpose field-tested C# code and libraries. It also provides some flexibility in choosing how many of the platform's native APIs to use. For example, your app might draw on the .Net networking stack for network services or rely on the platform's own networking stack frameworks.
To develop your Android and iOS apps, you can use Xamarin's own IDE, Xamarin Studio, or stick with Visual Studio. The Xamarin IDE allows you to organise projects into solutions so that one build command will make both an Android app and an iOS app. The Xamarin IDE also lets you execute and debug code in simulators for each platform or on the devices themselves. There's no compromise if you prefer to develop in Visual Studio, as Xamarin lets you build, download, and debug app code on the target devices with Microsoft's IDE.
iOS app development: It's complicated
Although Xamarin lets you use your Windows PC for iOS development, that doesn't mean you don't need a Mac. For a number of reasons, Xamarin still requires Apple's iOS SDK tools to complete the code generation. For example, the Xcode simulator is required for code debugging, and the app's interface must be designed using Xcode's layout and storyboard editor, Interface Builder (IB). Finally, to distribute apps in the App Store you must use Xcode's code-signing mechanism.
How is it possible to use Visual Studio to write and debug iOS apps? Xamarin performs a clever sleight of hand that sets up the Mac as a back-end build server to Visual Studio. Installing Xamarin on the Mac places a remote build server on the computer. This build server uses Apple's Bonjour service discovery protocol so that Windows systems can find it on the network and establish remote sessions with it. An inexpensive Mac Mini can be used as a shared network resource for multiple Windows developers.
When you execute a build with Visual Studio, the remote session has the build server issue the appropriate command lines to the Xcode build tools. (This works because the Xcode IDE itself is simply a GUI layered over command-line tools.) After the build completes, the iOS simulator on the Mac starts and remote commands from Visual Studio operate the simulator through the Xcode debugger. Or the Xcode debugger can download the code onto an iOS device, and you can debug it there through Visual Studio.
The other aspect to iOS app development is whether to IB or not to IB. The UI of an iOS app can be constructed two ways: either through program code or by using Xcode's visual editor. IB lets you lay out the app's interface by pointing, clicking, and dragging UI elements. These UI elements are actually Cocoa Touch framework objects in a serialised format. That is, you manipulate the UI objects themselves in IB. This ability to edit Cocoa Touch objects is not easily duplicated on the PC. Therefore, you either have to use IB on the Mac to design the app's UI or write the UI entirely in code to implement it. In the latter case, you can use a utility like PaintCode, which lets you design the UI visually; it then generates the appropriate Objective-C or C# code.
Constructing the UI for an Android app can be accomplished with Windows tools, because Android uses XML to store the layout. Xamarin Studio has a graphical layout editor similar to IB that lets you construct the Android app's UI visually. Xamarin also provides an add-in that implements this graphical editor in Visual Studio.
Using Xamarin Studio to run a C# app in the iOS simulator. A breakpoint has been set in a platform-specific UI file that manages the native implementation of a log-in screen.
