The Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum's "Forum Lounge" series presents Lucky Dragons, a music-and-art melding collective on Thursday, February 3 at 7pm.
Lucky Dragons' performance will openly engage the audience and passersby in the creation of experimental, experience-rich artwork and music. What results from this collaborative performance is the publishing and distribution of books, recordings, or posters, bringing the documented, audience-influenced experience back into the daily environment.
The interactive project is facilitated by LA-based artists Luke Fischbeck and Sara Rara, who have presented these performances and installations at both national and international venues such as the LACMA in Los Angeles, CA, the Institute of the Contemporary Arts in London, England, and more.
The Contemporary Arts Forum is located upstairs at 653 Paseo Nuevo. The event is free and open to the public, and is part of the monthly "1st Thursday" evening of art and culture in downtown Santa Barbara. For more information go to www.sbcaf.org.
KCSB is a media supporter of the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum's "Forum Lounge" series.

Fire Burning in Angeles National Forest; Hikers Sheltering in Place
By City News Service Jul 21, 2020
ARCADIA (CNS) - Hikers were told to shelter in place today while crews battled a seven-acre fire in the Chantry Flat area of the Angeles National Forest.
The blaze broke out for unknown reasons early this afternoon in the area of Hermit Falls, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
One firefighter was injured by a rock that hit his shoulder and was taken to a hospital for treatment, according to a Twitter posting on the Angeles National Forest page.
No structures were threatened, and by 4 p.m. the fire was 50% contained at seven acres, the Arcadia Fire Department and the Angeles National Forest reported.
"Many hikers are in the area and are sheltering in place until assisted evacuation occurs,'' according to a U.S. Forest Service statement.

Q: How do I make one dialog be infront of other dialogs so that his dim will be on top of tham I am managing multiple custom dialogs in a LinkedList.
The first dialog that was shown always has FLAG_DIM_BEHIND set and all the other shown dialogs have FLAG_DIM_BEHIND cleard from thier flags.
My problem is that the dialogs are not influenced by the FLAG_DIM_BEHIND affect of firstDialog and I think it is because firstDialog is created first.
I tried the following methods:

*

*Using firstDialog.getWindow().getDecorView().bringToFront() => didn't work

*Canceling all the dialogs and than reshowing them when the firstDialog is shown last. But when I canceled the windows, they got removed from the LinkedList.

*Dismissing all the dialogs and than reshowing them when firstDialog is shown last. But the dialogs just don't reshow.
....

LinkedList<CustomDialog> dialogList = new LinkedList<CustomDialog>();
CustomDialog firstDialog = new CustomDialog();
firstDialog.getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);
dialogList.add(firstDialog);
CustomDialog temp;
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
        temp = new CustomDialog();
        temp.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);
        dialogList.add(temp);
}

for(CustomDialog itr : dialogList)
{
        itr.show();
}

....

Thank you very much in advance.

A: I use multiple dialogs over each other in my app, but use them in separate classes.
public class PopFilters extends Dialog implements android.view.View.OnClickListener{}

and call them by this
PopFilters(NewMain.nmain).show();

The problem I have is when the phone is oriented in portrait using
FLAG_DIM_BEHIND

it causes the dialog to flicker when opening, when in landscape, no problem.  It drives me crazy, but other than that no issues.

'Don't be a fool!': Trump threatened Turkish president in letter
Trump apparently sent the letter after receiving fierce blowback for clearing the way for Turkey's invasion of Syria.

U.S. President Donald Trump warned President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey against being "a tough guy" and "a fool" in a bombastic letter last week that was apparently delivered as the Turkish military launched its invasion of northeast Syria.
In the letter, which was authenticated by the White House, Trump urges his foreign counterpart to negotiate an end to Turkey's assault against U.S.-allied Kurdish fighters, which has drawn widespread condemnation by the international community.
The correspondence was made public Wednesday as the president continues to face fierce criticism for granting tacit approval of the incursion earlier this month, and as administration officials have sought to project a hard line against Erdoğan's government amid sustained political fallout.

"Let's work out a good deal! You don't want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don't want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy — and I will. I've already given you a little sample with respect to Pastor Brunson," Trump wrote in the letter, referring to sanctions the Treasury Department previously imposed on senior Turkish officials for the detention of an American evangelical clergyman.
"I have worked hard to solve some of your problems. Don't let the world down. You can make a great deal," he continued, adding that Kurdish General Mazloum Kobani of the Syrian Democratic Forces "is willing to negotiate with you, and he is willing to make concessions that they would never have made in the past."
"History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way. It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don't happen," the president concluded. "Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool! I will call you later."
The letter is dated last Wednesday, October 9 — the same day Erdoğan tweeted that Turkey had begun its offensive into Syria. The White House had announced in a weekend statement three days earlier that Turkey would "soon be moving forward with its long-planned operation."

Ballet San Antonio has a special treat for San Antonio audiences. This weekend, the company is launching its 2018-19 season with a brand- new production of "Beauty and the Beast," a full-length ballet choreographed by prominent guest choreographer Bruce Wells. Performances take place Friday through Sunday at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts.
Though the story of "Beauty and the Beast" is at least three centuries old, the version most Americans know and love comes form in the Disney animated musical film released in 1991. It features a kind and beautiful bookish maiden named Belle, a castle in the woods where the Beast resides with his servants, and, of course, the Beast, who is really a handsome prince trapped inside the ugly, angry Beast. An enchantress with magical powers turned him into this grotesque creature to punish him for being mean and arrogant. The only way he can break the spell is by learning to genuinely love someone and earn her love in return.
The BSA ballet also offers an original "world premiere" prequel to the story that presents the background of the characters to make it easier for children to follow the action. Referred to as Act I by the choreographer, the prequel introduces Belle's and the Prince's parents and lets the audience see how the two grew up. It also explains how the Prince got turned into the Beast and how Belle ends up staying at the castle where their love eventually blossoms. To make things more complicated, however, there is also Gaston, the village tough-guy who thinks Belle should be his.
"Beast needs someone with a pure heart to fall in love with him and she is definitely that person. And he, in return, can offer her the world," said Wells who has staged "Beauty" before but in a shorter format. "At the end, there is a big confrontation between Beast and Gaston and Gaston shoots Beast. That's when Belle runs to him to declare her love and he is transformed back into a handsome prince.
The cast of 45 dancers, including children from area baller schools, is headed by BSA principal Sally Turkel as Belle and soloist Mayim Stiller as the Prince/Beast. Wells praised both protagonists, referring to Turkel as "a true prima ballerina" who "was meant to dance this role," and expressing appreciation for Stiller's ideal physique for his role (tall and imposing). Most of the grand dancing happens in the castle where a series of divertissements, solos and pas de deux tell the story of a growing friendship and budding love.
"I very much enjoyed working with Ballet San Antonio dancers; they gave me 110% every day. It has been one of the loveliest experiences I have ever had," said Wells.
The creator of some 50 ballets, Wells is well known in national and international ballet circles. He started his career at the New York City Ballet during George Balanchine's reign, eventually transitioning from dancing to choreography and teaching. Today, his ballets are in the repertoire of many companies, including Pittsburgh Ballet Theater, the Atlanta Ballet, Boston Ballet, Australian Ballet, Dance Theater of Harlem, Pacific Northwest Ballet and others.
In addition to choreography, Wells often creates his own scores by editing and combining parts of existing compositions of various composers, a labor-intensive and challenging endeavor. For "Beauty" he achieved what he needed by integrating elements of Leo Delibes' scores that the French composer originally wrote for the ballets "La Source" and "Sylvia." And he had a hand in designing the costumes as well when he worked on the same story for the Atlanta Ballet. (BSA has borrowed both the sets and costumes from Atlanta.) As a choreographer, Wells also likes to have the dancers themselves move the scenery around as they gracefully navigate across the stage which helps smooth out transitions and keep the narrative going. Still, vocal narration will also be included.
For times and ticket prices go to tickets@tobincenter.org or call 210-223-8624. You can receive 30% off if you purchase a "family 4-pack" for this or any other show of the current season.


Be prepared to assess the situation. Use whatever you have on hand to take care of yourself and ensure your pet's safety during an emergency. Depending on your circumstances and the nature of the emergency the first important decision is whether you stay put or get away. You should understand and plan for both possibilities. Use common sense and the information you are learning here to determine if there is immediate danger. In any emergency, local authorities may or may not immediately be able to provide information on what is happening and what you should do. However, watch TV, listen to the radio or check the Internet for instructions. If you're specifically told to evacuate, shelter-in-place or seek medical treatment, do so immediately.
Create a plan to get away. Plan how you will assemble your pets and anticipate where you will go. If you must evacuate, take your pets with you if practical. If you go to a public shelter, keep in mind your animals may not be allowed inside. Secure appropriate lodging in advance depending on the number and type of animals in your care. Consider family or friends willing to take you and your pets in an emergency. Other options may include: a hotel or motel that takes pets or a boarding facility, such as a kennel or veterinary hospital that is near an evacuation facility or your family 's meeting place. Find out before an emergency happens if any of these facilities in your area might be viable options for you and your pets.
Develop a buddy system. Plan with neighbors, friends or relatives to make sure that someone is available to care for or evacuate your pets if you are unable to do so. Talk with your pet care buddy about your evacuation plans and show them where you keep your pet's emergency supply kit. Also designate specific locations,one in your immediate neighborhood and another farther away, where you will meet in an emergency.
Talk to your pet's veterinarian about emergency planning. Discuss the types of things that you should include in your pet's emergency first aid kit. Get the names of vets or veterinary hospitals in other cities where you might need to seek temporary shelter. You should also consider talking with your veterinarian about permanent identification such as microchipping, and enrolling your pet in a recovery database. If your pet is microchipped, keeping your emergency contact information up to date and listed with a reliable recovery database is essential to your being reunited with your pet.
Gather contact information for emergency animal treatment. Make a list of contact information and addresses of area animal control agencies including the Humane Society or SPCA, and emergency veterinary hospitals. Keep one copy of these phone numbers with you and one in your pet's emergency supply kit. Obtain "Pets Inside" stickers and place them on your doors or windows, including information on the number and types of pets in your home to alert firefighters and rescue workers. Consider putting a phone number on the sticker where you could be reached in an emergency. And , if time permits , remember to write the words "Evacuated with Pets" across the stickers, should you flee with your pets.

Na svom vrhuncu, hanat je vladao i proširio svoje teritorije na istočnu Kumaniju (današnji Zapadni Kazahstan), na veći deo Uzbekistana, Karakalpakstan i reke Sir Darje sa vojnom konfrontacijom sve do Astrahana i provincije Horasan, koje su sada u Rusiji i Iranu, respektivno. Kanat se takođe pružao potporu ropstvu, i vršio racije u susednim zemljama Rusije i Centralne Azije, a kasnije je oslabljen serijom invazija Ojrata i Džungara. To je rezultiralo propadanjem i daljim raspadom na tri žuza, koji su postepeno izgubili suverenitet i bili su pripojeni rastućem Ruskom carstvu. Njegovo osnivanje označilo je početak kazahstanske državnosti, čija je 550. godišnjica proslavljena 2015. godine.

Istorija

Godine 1227, unutar Zlatne horde formirana je u stepi prakazahstanska država, koja je bila Bela horda. Nakon odvajanja od Zlatne Horde 1361. godine, Bela Horda je na određeno vreme postala nezavisna država, ponekad se udružujući sa Plavom Hordom kako bi ponovo uspostavila Zlatnu Hordu. Međutim, nakon smrti hana Zlatne Horde, Barak kana 1428. godine, Zlatna Horda je postala fragmentisana, a sama Bela Horda je podeljena na Uzbekistanski kanat i Nogajsku hordu (potomke vladajućih mongolskih plemena), preostala zemlja je podeljena između Mustafe kana na jugu i Mohameda kana na severu. Uzbekistanskim kanatom, koji je dominirao većim delom današnjeg Kazahstana, vladao je Abul-Kajr kan koji je bio jedan od zaverenika u ubistvu Barak kana. Pod vođstvom Abul-Kajr kana, Uzbekistanski kanat je postao korumpirana, nestabilna i slaba država koja se često bavila unutrašnjim problemima. Da stvar bude gora, Ojrati su vršili prepade na sam kanat. Oni su pustošili nomadska naselja, i veći gradovi su bivali pljačkani i oštećeni, uz propratne masakre civilnog življa. Mir je sklopljen 1457. godine između Uzbeka i Ojrata, nakon što je Abul-Kajr kan pretrpeo težak poraz, zbog kojeg je izgubio reputaciju među Uzbecima.

Formiranje

Formiranje Kazaškog kanata započelo je 1459. godine, kada je nekoliko uzbekistanskih plemena mongolskog porekla nezadovoljnih vladavinom Abul-Kajra, na čelu sa dva sina Barak kana, Janibekom i Kerejom, prebeglo iz Uzbeškog kanata u slučaju poznatom kao Velika seoba. Dvoje braće je predvodilo nomade prema Mogulistanu, na kraju se naselivši i uspostavivši nezavisnu državu. Kan Mogulistana ujedinio se sa njima nudeći im podršku protiv njihovih protivnika. Oko 200.000 nomada pridružilo se pokretu Janibek i Kerej kana, koji je imao ogromnu moć i uticaj, što je izazvalo zabrinutost Abul-Kajra. Novi kanat je ubrzo postao zaštitna država između Mogulistana i Uzbekistanskog kanata. Iako se Janibek i Kerej kan smatraju vladarima osnivačima Kazahstanskog kanata, Janibek kan je taj koji je u početku imao veći deo moći. Nestrpljiv da oslobodi svoju zemlju od Abul Kajr kana, Janibek je napao Uzbekistanski kanat 1468. godine. Abul Kajr je, kao odgovor, pokrenuo kampanju protiv Kazaha, ali je umro na putu za Zetisu. Nakon smrti Kerej kana 1473/4 Janibek kan je postao jedini vladar.

Panel To Study California Marijuana Legalization
By Phillip Smith
California Lieutenant Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will lead a blue ribbon panel of expert to chart a path toward marijuana legalization, the ACLU of California announced Thursday. At the same time, the group released polling results showing that two-thirds of California voters are ready to support regulated legal marijuana commerce that contributes to state tax coffers.
"The prohibition of marijuana has had an enormous human and financial cost in communities across this state," said Newsom, the highest ranking elected official in California to publicly endorse taxing and regulating marijuana for adults. "It is far past time for Californians take a serious look at smarter approaches to marijuana, and it is imperative that happen before any marijuana ballot initiative gets underway."
The panel will consist of academic, legal, and policy experts and "will engage in a two-year research effort," the ACLU said. That is a clear signal that organizers are aiming at 2016 -- not 2014 -- as the time to put the matter before voters, even though at least two separate 2014 marijuana legalization initiative efforts are already underway in the state.
"The panel's work will be designed to help voters and policy makers evaluate proposals for a strict tax and regulation system that will enable California to benefit from billions of dollars of new revenue while ensuring safe communities and protecting against underage use," the ACLU said.
Among those named to the panel are Keith Humphreys, a Stanford Health Policy Associate who was a senior policy analyst at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy in 2009-2010; Erwin Chemerinsky, constitutional law expert and dean of the University of California, Irvine School of Law; two past presidents of the California Society of Addiction Medicine; Dr. Seth Ammerman, a Stanford University professor and member of the American Academy of Pediatrics; Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith; and Sam Kamin, a Denver University law professor who has been appointed to the Colorado governor's task force for implementing that state's marijuana legalization initiative.
Also included are Alison Holcomb, campaign manager of Washington state's successful 2012 ballot initiative to tax and regulate marijuana; Tamar Todd, staff attorney for the Drug Policy Alliance; Karen O'Keefe, staff attorney for the Marijuana Policy Project; and Neill Franklin, executive director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.
In addition to enhancing state revenue streams, marijuana legalization would end the extreme racial disparities in marijuana arrests in California, the ACLU said.
"Marijuana prohibition has harmed communities and families by needlessly ensnaring hundreds of thousands of people in the overburdened criminal justice system, with people of color far more likely to be arrested and prosecuted," said Allen Hopper, director of criminal justice and drug policy for the ACLU of California. "California voters recognize that it's time for change and will overwhelmingly support reforming marijuana laws provided it can be done responsibly with adequate safeguards and assurances that tax revenues will go to fund public schools and other important social services."

TI-83 OS Author and TI Coder Shows First TI-84+CSE Game
Pat Milheron is a well-known name among the older denizens of the TI graphing calculator community. He was one of the programmers who wrote the original TI-83 operating system, and helped the community understand how to write TI-83 ASM programs. Rumor has it that he also provided examples explaining some of the more cryptic TI-83 Plus hooks, which have historically been among the least-well-documented items among the TI-83+'s OS features. Now, Pat has joined Cemetech as 6i8kjy to share the first real TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition game.
Pat has taken an old TI-86 game of his called Pede, a port of the classic Centipede, and re-coded it to work on the TI-84+CSE. He took a few screenshots of the game in action, which he showed off in a post last night. His screenshots show Pede operating in a 128x256 area of the screen, understandable since the original TI-86 version had a resolution of 64x128. From these screenshots, several of our seasoned z80 programmers have speculated either that ASM programs will only get specific areas of the screen by default or (more likely) that the new calculator allows rectangular areas to be defined and drawn within as if they were a whole screen. If this latter were the case, it would help assuage some of the doubts that our cadre of z80 assembly programmers have expressed about the speed and complexity of real-time games on the new platform.
Please join me in welcoming Pat to Cemetech, and while I'm doubtful he would be able to answer too many technical questions about the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition yet without violating his NDA, you're welcome to try.

Egg & Dart Pendant Light. Foyer light. Entryway light.
The Egg & Dart Pendant Light was designed by S. Shah Gilani, ASFD. Egg and Dart is a classical decorative molding detail. It was adopted into Roman architecture and became a prevalent motif of Neoclassicism into the modern era. Egg and Dart is typically a repeating ovoid shape – the "egg" – alternating with a pointed shape – the "dart." The symbolism is thought to juxtapose the ideas of life with death or offerings with sacrifice. According to another interpretation, the egg symbolizes the feminine force in nature and the dart the masculine. This ancient pagan symbolism has been widely elaborated upon in classical architecture and is still popular today. The oldest example of Egg and Dart enrichment of the ovolo molding of an Ionic capital is found at the Erechtheion – an ancient Greek temple on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens. The Romans took this motif from the Greeks and used it widely on their capitals and friezes. It has also been common in neoclassical architecture. The designer of the Egg & Dart Pendant Light used a stylized version of this classical motif. Handcrafted in metal, this unique luminaire is available in a variety of finishes. It makes an exceptional light for the foyer or the library.

MLS Blurs Free Speech Line With Ban Of 'Political' Signs
August 28, 2019 – Media Mention
Law360Quoted | Ricardo Cestero
Law360 (August 28, 2019, 6:33 PM EDT) -- Major League Soccer's recent ban on political signs in the stands has drawn the ire of fans and others who argue it is a form of censorship, raising the question of whether the First Amendment protects fans' right to free speech in sports stadiums.
The issue came to a head this month after the Portland Timbers of MLS told fans that they were no longer permitted to fly flags bearing the Iron Front symbol, which features three arrows sloping downward and was used by groups opposing Nazism and communism in pre-World War II Germany. The symbol has more recently been associated with the controversial anti-fascist movement known as antifa.
"What I think [the MLS and its teams] are actually doing is banning fans from displaying their political beliefs while the team and the league is allowed to display theirs," said First Amendment attorney Ricardo P. Cestero of Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger LLP. "That is problematic in itself, and then there is this inherent vagueness on what is 'political' speech."

Researchers in Alabama recruited 320 racially diverse children between the ages of 7 and 12 from the surrounding area (Am J Clin Nutr 2014; 100:46-52). The children visited the lab (with their parents) on two occasions: the first, to have their body scanned in order to accurately calculate fat mass (instead of using Body Mass Index), to receive an accelerometer to wear for ~1 week (to measure physical activity), and to detail what they had eaten for the last 24 hours (with their parents' assistance).
About a week later the children returned for an overnight stay. They returned their accelerometers and again detailed what they had eaten for the last 24 hours with the help of their parents. Their blood pressure was taken in the evening and again in the morning. Finally, their blood was drawn for a cholesterol screening.
With this information, the researchers were able to estimate not only the amount of added sugars in the children's diets, they could also estimate the amount of total fat, saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol they ate. These results, as well as the physical activity, body fat measurements, gender, and ethnicity, were then correlated with the child's blood pressure and cholesterol scores.
The researchers discovered that more added sugars in a child's diet was positively associated with a slightly higher diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number). This is concerning when you remember that a 5-6 point increase in the diastolic blood pressure in adults may increase the risk of stroke by 67%! More added sugars were also associated with higher triglyceride scores, but interestingly, the total amount of fat in a child's diet was not associated with their triglycerides. The amount of sodium in a child's diet did not seem to affect their blood pressure, either, which the researchers theorized was due to their young age.
This study is correlative - a snapshot in time. This does not show whether added sugars cause blood pressure and cholesterol changes, but given the causal relationship we've recently seen in adults, it would be prudent to watch the amount of added sugars in your child's diet very carefully. The top sources of added sugars in a child's diet are sugar-sweetened beverages, both grain and dairy desserts, breakfast cereals, and candy.

Sheikha Fatima's Dhs25m donation amid 'current health and economic challenges'
by Olivia Morris
'Together we are good'
The 'Mother of the UAE', Her Highness Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak has made a sizeable donation to the 'Together We Are Good' campaign.
Last month the initiative was instigated by Abu Dhabi's Authority of Social Contribution, also known as Ma'an, in order to give the community the opportunity to support government's "efforts to address the current health and economic challenges".
Sheikha Fatima, the Chairwoman of the General Woman's Union, Chairwoman of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood and Supreme Chairperson of the Family Development Foundation, is directly supporting the programme having donated Dhs25 million, it was announced on the Emirates Royal Family Instagram.
ساهمت سمو الشيخة فاطمة بنت مبارك رئيسة الاتحاد النسائي العام رئيسة المجلس الأعلى للأمومة والطفولة الرئيسة الأعلى لمؤسسة التنمية الأسرية بقيمة 25 مليون درهم لصالح برنامج "معاً نحن بخير"، الذي أطلقته هيئة المساهمات المجتمعية "معاً" تعزيزاً لتضامن المجتمع.
A post shared by UAE Royal Family 🇦🇪 (@emiratesroyalfamily) on Apr 7, 2020 at 9:11am PDT
His Highness Sheikh Tahnoun bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, the Ruler's Representative in the Al Ain region, also contributed to the initiative.
Within a week of the campaign being launched last month, Ma'an confirmed they had received over 4,000 text message and 601 calls from members of the community hoping contribute financially and also to volunteer various different ways.
All efforts of the programme aims to help combat the impact of the global coronavirus pandemic.
Addressing the overwhelming response form the community surrounding the programme, the Ma'an director general, Her Excellency Salama Al Ameemi, said the contributions reflected "the cohesive and collaborative community we hope to achieve through Ma'an's initiatives".
"These are unprecedented times but Abu Dhabi has a hugely philanthropic society and our community has shown that it is ready to step up and do what it can to be part of the national effort," she said, and also encouraged to people to "contribute in any way they can".

The python cookbook has been deprecated and is no longer being maintained by its authors. Use of the python cookbook is no longer recommended. You may find that the poise-python cookbook is a suitable alternative.
Installs and configures Python. Also includes LWRPs for managing python packages with pip and virtualenv isolated Python environments.
NOTE: The yum cookbook is a dependency of the cookbook, and will be used to install EPEL on RedHet/CentOS 5.x systems to provide the Python 2.6 packages.
node["python"]["install_method"] - method to install python with, default package.
Install packages using the new hotness in Python package management...pip. Yo dawg...easy_install is so 2009, you better ask your local Pythonista if you don't know! The usage semantics are like that of any normal package provider.
version: the version of the package to install/upgrade. If no version is given latest is assumed.
timeout: timeout in seconds for the command to execute. Useful for pip packages that may take a long time to install. Default 900 seconds.
virtualenv is a great tool that creates isolated python environments. Think of it as RVM without all those hipsters and tight jeans.
interpreter: The Python interpreter to use. default is null (i.e. use whatever python the virtualenv command is using).
Include default recipe in a run list, to get python, pip and virtualenv. Installs python by package or source depending on the platform.
Installs virtualenv using the python_pip resource.

        var authHeader = string.Format(headerFormat,

                                Uri.EscapeDataString(oauth_consumer_key),

        // Requesting now

        var postBody = "status=" + Uri.EscapeDataString(status);

        ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;

        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(resource_url);
        request.Headers.Add("Authorization", authHeader);
        request.Method = "POST";
        request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
        using (Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream())
        {
            byte[] content = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(postBody);
            stream.Write(content, 0, content.Length);
        }
        WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

        Console.WriteLine("Now attempting to display homepage");

    }
 }
}

Ok now the thing is that above code is working fine for writing status updates through POST. However whenever i try to use a varaiation of it like
Console.WriteLine("Attempting to read");

        //var postBody = "status=" + Uri.EscapeDataString(status);

        ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;

        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(resource_url);
        request.Headers.Add("Authorization", authHeader);
        request.Method = "POST";
        request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
        /*using (Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream())
        {
            byte[] content = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(postBody);
            stream.Write(content, 0, content.Length);
        }*/

        WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

to receive status updates it the code just crashes at WebResponse response = request.GetResponse(); and sends in a 401 unauthorized. How come it is authorized for writing but not reading. Any help regarding where to start would be appreciated.

A: you would need to do something like this , where you have
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

do something like this
var response = (HttpWebResponse)page.GetResponse();
