Q: Does Azure IOT replace IIS? I didnt have any idea what Azure IOT is. My manager told me that IOT is a new thing and we can replace IIS with Azure IOT but I couldnt find any such information. According to many articles I read and as per my understanding, IOT is used for duplex communication between the devices and services in a cloud environment.
Can anyone explain about Azure IOT nicely? Does it replace IIS? We want to move our product from normal servers to Azure Cloud servers. Do we still need IIS or IOT is there to replace it?

A: As always, it depends. If your current website is a gateway to communicate with IoT devices (IoT stands for Internet of Things, think temperate sensors, light sensors or more advanced devices) then it could. Otherwise I really doubt it.
Azure IoT is a managed service that allows device provisioning, device to cloud and cloud to device communication. It does not allow for hosting user interfaces like IIS does.
The most probable thing to do is to move to Azure Web Apps, which is basically IIS as a service. (There is a lot more to it obviously!)
And you definitely need to talk to your manager. Hearing the latest buzz words without knowing enough to be able to place them in your context can do a lot of harm.

AGEING LEGACIES: SACHIN TENDULKAR AND MICHAEL SCHUMACHER
The noun form of the word 'age' varies with the same 'age' when used in the verbal form. One talks about a prolonged period of time (noun) whereas the other points to the process of getting old (verb). I looked at these two meanings and felt there is several a miles separating the two. How confused one can be if we mix one another; more so when we use the term inappropriately.
This article was prompted after having watched Michael Schumacher showing certain glimpses of his past racing career in the recent races. He retired in 2006 and he did go on a high; who can forget his breathtaking overtaking manoeuvre on Kimi Raikkonen at the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix at his last race (at that time) with just few laps to go. I am a fan of his driving ever since I started watching Formula One in late 90's. He made a surprise move in 2009 when he decided to come out of his retirement to have a go at the races beginning 2010. Brink of touching 41 (in 2009), who would have given him a chance? This isn't a just a sport, F1 is a huge business where P&L are calculated like any other ruthless corporations. Mercedes after having decided to go on their own (earlier they supplied just the engines) roped in Nico Rosberg and the well known German in the form of Michael Schumacher, a German family well established. Yes, it was Ross Brawn's idea (who is the team principal at Mercedes), but he doesn't own the team. Unless agreed at the top level, Michael could not have returned to the team where he first started his racing career (He was with Mercedes before F1). So where did age play a role? In a sport where reflexes are paramount, what expectations did the Mercedes management have when they signed him?
91 GP victories were a thing of the past so were his record breaking pole positions and breathtaking fastest laps – all he had was experience and joie de vivre when it came to racing. He had everything to lose after what he had achieved in that sport. Now he was willing to give up all just for the sake of racing. Certainly there were more people whose decisions mattered most also were on the same track. So a new life for a legend (we have seen Michael Jordan doing it) and in the third year (after having started racing in 2010) – for the first time he is showing the signs that he is competitive and his car is getting better (He had his share of bad lucks with the engine failures and car problems in 2010, 2011 and at the start of 2012 season). It seems he does not care much about reputation, if he would have like any other normal investor would do in the market – he would have chosen to play it safe. Which person would risk such a reputation?
On a similar note while I am talking about one of my favourite sporting personality, in a striking distance I find a similarity to my other favourite – Sachin Tendulkar. Ever since the 2011 England tour debacle, I have been hearing a lot of them telling him to quit playing cricket. Each time he refuses to – So what, our people will have different strategies to pin him down. The voodoo of 100 hundreds was created and it reached such huge proportions that, every failure became a platform for mockery and more criticism. I have a simple funda – let him decide as he is sensible enough to decide what's good for Indian cricket. Being patriotic doesn't mean being awake at all the times, it is about being awake when it matters the most. Indian cricket is still going through a transition phase. They reached #1 while in transition, make no mistake. A lot of players came in, had their moments and result – India won. Now the formula doesn't work anymore, you know why? There was nothing so called a formula. It just happened as we were treated to one triumph after the other which culminated with the World Cup. Coming back to Sachin, he is good nine months shy of turning 40. Now this brings back to my first point – What does 40 signify? Is it a mere number? I would say – yes, in its true definition, as there are other parameters for ageing.
While Sachin can never inspire a generation of teenagers in the current situation, he has given hope for a lot of others, especially people of his age. Agreed, no selector or a BCCI administrator would dare axing him from the team – a privilege no other sportsman has ever had in my lifetime. I know someday he would retire – that day I only hope the Indian team doesn't feel the void left by him. Looking at our present set up, I have not seen a cricketer to have maintained a certain degree of authority. They have just been replacements, not because they are worthy, but they happen to be our next generation of players. In a team sport, it isn't about individual brilliance; it's about individual contributions for the greater cause. If one fails, the others must step up. Sadly in the past one year, it is the stepping up which has been a problem. The recent India 'A' tour to West Indies was a learning curve and frankly only more of such learning curves can bring out a player(s) who can knock the doors of Indian team selection consistently. It is not about just giving a chance at the top level, it has to be a matter of choice.
Michael was three when he first raced using the kart built by his father and Sachin had already picked up the cricket bat by the time he was five. It has been a long journey for both of them and bulk of it was spent to excel in their respective sporting arenas, a case of choosing the sport over their personal lives and reputation.
Michael has had his moments off the track for a brief time (though he was still consulting with Ferrari post retirement) and Sachin has started speaking about things about life beyond cricket.
BCCI has made few changes from this season onwards and it certainly looks like a positive move. Cricket wise, it is going to be a crucial six to eight months with three teams (New Zealand, England and Australia) touring India for Tests. Add Pakistan for ODI's and T20's, you will see a lot of things happening and who knows, we might come across an announcement, a good-bye at the conclusion of this Indian cricket season.
Irrespective of whether there are worthy replacements, he will be gone. But for now – his market value has not diminished (a true indicator of one's form these days) and he continues to play, while Michael continues to race as they both are giving finishing touches to their unique legacy forts.

My Work at CITP This Year: Judicial Policy, Public Access, and The Electronic Court
July 30, 2010 by Ron Hedges
Hi. My name is Ron Hedges. I am a Visiting Research Collaborator with the CITP for 2010-11.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a graduate of the University of Maryland and Georgetown University Law Center. I spent over twenty years as a United States Magistrate Judge and sat in Newark, NJ. I came to the Center through my work with the use and abuse of electronic information in civil litigation in the United States Courts. Several years ago, I wrote a decision on the subjects of "preservation" and "spoliation" electronic information. That led me to The Sedona Conference, a think-tank of academics, attorneys, and judges who focus on electronic information and other things. Today, I'm on a Sedona advisory board and work on, among other things, confidentiality, public access, and electronic information in criminal actions. For information on Sedona, go to www.thesedonaconference.org.
This year, I hope to work with the Center to update something Sedona did a few years ago on confidentiality and public access in civil litigation. Our society prizes two conflicting values: openness in our judicial system and protection for matters of personal privacy and "protected" information. Examples of the latter are trade secrets and personal medical information. How we as a society reconcile openness and protection in civil litigation was the theme of The Sedona Guidelines on Confidentiality and Public Access, published in March of 2007. This document is not focused on electronic information and offers only general guidance on access to electronic information managed by courts. I hope to use my time at CITP to conduct a symposium on confidentiality and access and to move The Sedona Guidelines forward.
Another project for 2010-11 would be to consider the automation of the review of electronic information for "relevance" and "privilege." Relevance is a simple, but often misunderstood, concept. To be relevant, information must tend to either prove – or disprove – something. Privilege is also simple, but often misunderstood. To be privileged (in a broad sense), information must be either subject to either the "attorney client privilege" or "work product." Privileged information need not be turned over to an adversary and, if it is turned over, there can be serious consequences. Not surprisingly, human review for privilege is estimated to account for about half of the cost of litigation.
The "holy grail" of litigation is to come up with an automated process or processes for relevance and privilege review that is reasonable. The process must also be something that can be explained to laypeople (i.e., judges and lawyers). Research is being spearheaded by NIST, and I hope to have CITP sponsor a program on automated search that would feature, among others, Jason Baron of NARA and Maura Grossman of the Wachtell firm. They have led the NARA initiative and are prominent exponents of automated review.
Finally, I hope to offer a symposium or class to introduce technology-oriented folks like you to the intricacies of the law as it deals with electronic information.
Please give me your thoughts as we move toward the Fall semester.
Jailbreaking Copyright's Extended Scope
July 28, 2010 by Wendy Seltzer
A bit late for the rule's "triennial" cycle, the Librarian of Congress has released the sec 1201(a)(1)(C) exceptions from the DMCA prohibitions on circumventing copyright access controls. For the next three years, people will not be " circumventing" if they "jailbreak" or unlock their smartphones, remix short portions of motion pictures on DVD (if they are college and university professors or media students, documentary filmmakers, or non-commercial video-makers), research the security of videogames, get balky obsolete dongled programs to work, or make an ebook read-aloud. (I wrote about the hearings more than a year ago, when the movie studios demoed camcording a movie — that didn't work to stop the exemption.)
Since I've criticized the DMCA's copyright expansion, I was particularly interested in the inter-agency debate over EFF's proposed jailbreak exemption. Even given the expanded "para-copyright" of anticircumvention, the Register of Copyrights and NTIA disagreed over how far the copyright holder's monopoly should reach. The Register recommended that jailbreaking be exempted from circumvention liability, while NTIA supported Apple's opposition to the jailbreak exemption.
According to the Register (PDF), Apple's "access control [preventing the running of unapproved applications] does not really appear to be protecting any copyright interest." Apple might have had business reasons for wanting to close its platform, including taking a 30% cut of application sales and curating the iPhone "ecosystem," those weren't copyright reasons to bar the modification of 50 bytes of code.
NTIA saw it differently. In November 2009, after receiving preliminary recommendations from Register Peters, Asst. Secretary Larry Strickling wrote (PDF):
NTIA does not support this proposed exemption [for cell phone jailbreaking]…. Proponents argue that jailbreaking will support open communications platforms and the rights of consumers to take maximum advantage of wireless networks and associated hardware and software. Even if permitting cell phone "jailbreaking" could facilitate innovation, better serve consumers, and encourage the market to utilize open platforms, it might just as likely deter innovation by not allowing the developer to recoup its development costs and to be rewarded for its innovation. NTIA shares proponents' enthusiasm for open platforms, but is concerned that the proper forum for consideration of these public policy questions lies before the expert regulatory agencies, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Congress.
The debate affects what an end-user buys when purchasing a product with embedded software, and how far copyright law can be leveraged to control that experience and the market. Is it, as Apple would have it, only the right to use the phone in the closed "ecosystem" as dictated by Apple, with only exit (minus termination fees) if you don't like it there? or is it a building block, around which the user can choose a range of complements from Apple and elsewhere? In the first case, we see the happenstance of software copyright locking together a vertically integrated or curated platform, forcing new entrants to build the whole stack in order to compete. In the second, we see opportunities for distributed innovation that starts at a smaller scale: someone can build an application without Apple's approval, improving the user's iPhone without starting from scratch.
NTIA would send these "public policy" questions to Congress or the Department of Justice (antitrust), but the Copyright Office and Librarian of Congress properly handled them here. "[T]he task of this rulemaking is to determine whether the availability and use of access control measures has already diminished or is about to diminish the ability of the public to engage in noninfringing uses of copyrighted works similar or analogous to those that the public had traditionally been able to make prior to the enactment of the DMCA," the Register says. Pre-DMCA, copyright left room for reverse engineering for interoperability, for end-users and complementors to bust stacks and add value. Post-DMCA, this exemption helps to restore the balance toward noninfringing uses.
In a related vein, economists have been framing research into proprietary strategies for two-sided markets, in which a platform provider is mediating between two sets of users — such as iPhone's end-users and its app developers. In their profit-maximizing interests, proprietors may want to adjust both price and other aspects of their platforms, for example selecting fewer app developers than a competitive market would support so each earns a scarcity surplus it can pay to Apple. But just because proprietors want a constrained environment does not mean that the law should support them, nor that end-users are better off when the platform-provider maximizes profits. Copyright protects individual works against unauthorized copying; it should not be an instrument of platform maintenance — not even when the platform is or includes a copyrighted work.

Private Information in Public Court Filings
July 27, 2010 by Stephen Schultze
Court proceedings are supposed to be public. When they are public and easily accessible, citizens know the law and the courts are kept accountable. These are the principles that underpin RECAP, our project to help liberate federal court records from behind a pay-wall.
However, appropriate restrictions on public disclosure are equally critical to democracy-enhancing information management by the judiciary. Without protections on personal data, trade secrets, the addresses of cooperating witnesses, or other harmful information the courts would become a frightening place for many citizens in need of justice. Peter Winn has described this challenge in detail.
Thus, somewhat counter-intuitively, it is important to restrict some legal information in order to set the rest free. That is why our courts have a strong legacy of sealing cases when, on balance, their disclosure would do more harm to justice than good. When the risks don't require the entire case to be sealed, portions of documents can be redacted. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2 and Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9037 define these instances.
But what happens when mistakes are made or negligence occurs? This has been a largely unexplored area to date. In a 2005 bankruptcy case in the US District of South Carolina, Green Tree Servicing included the debtors' social security numbers in a public filing. The document was made available via the courts' electronic public access system (PACER) for viewing by anyone who was willing to pay the fee. The debtors filed suit in 2008 against Green Tree for disclosing their personal information counter to the rules I mentioned above, as well as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and other provisions. This was to be an interesting case, but (unfortunately for scholars and perhaps fortunately for the parties) they settled.
However, this was not the end of Green Tree's entanglement with these provisions. In 2009 they were servicing another pair of debtors, and they likewise included their social security numbers in the filing. The debtors filed suit against Green Tree under similar reasoning. This time, the parties didn't settle. In its opinion, the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana dismissed all claims that were based on a private right of action against Green Tree, but left open the possibility that a contempt of court claim could prevail:
The Debtors have pled sufficient facts to state a claim for contempt under §105 for Greentree's failure to comply with Rule 9037. The act of limiting access to [the document containing SSNs] may be a sufficient remedy under Rule 9037, and a finding of contempt would require that Greentree was aware of its violation of Rule 9037. […] Greentree has "inadvertently" failed to redact social security numbers on proofs of claim forms in at least one other case in which the debtors alleged a claim for contempt. See, In re Petty, No. 08-34375 HCD (Bankr. N. D. Ind. September 21, 2009). Whether the failure to redact here was coincidence or something else is not for the court to decide at this juncture. Nonetheless, the Debtors have pled sufficient facts to establish their claim for contempt under §105(a) due to Greentree's failure to comply with Rule 9037 and thus, that count survives Greentree's motion to dismiss and will proceed to trial. All other counts shall be dismissed.
The outcome appears to hinge largely on the "willfulness" of Green Tree. Given the 2005 South Carolina case, it seems evident that Green Tree should have been quite aware of the federal rules of procedure regarding redaction. It will interesting to see how the case turns out.
In the context of these recent cases, the 4th Circuit issued a decision yesterday on a related matter. In Ostergren v. Cuccinelli, the court ruled that a third-party who downloaded public records ("land records") from government-provided web sites would not be liable for damages when republishing those records online — even if that third-party knew that the records contained private information such as social security numbers.
The facts of the case are quite interesting. Betty Ostergren, a pro-privacy advocate, had for many years tried to get the State of Virginia to implement and then to improve its automatic redaction technology for these records. Virginia was making some effort to do so, but evidently the various counties were not working as fast as she would like, leaving many documents unredacted. Indeed, the original legislation setting the redaction system into motion would have required the task to have been completed by July 1, 2010, but it didn't go into effect because the General Assembly failed to appropriate the necessary funds. Ostergren decided that the only way to motivate the necessary attentiveness was to begin publishing land records with unredacted SSNs on her own web site. For maximum effect, she chose land records from known public officials.
Virginia enacted a statute designed to stop this type of behavior, and Virginia filed suit under that statute. The Electronic Privacy Information Center filed an amicus brief in support of Ostergren. The 4th Circuit delivered a double-whammy to Virginia: not only did it uphold the district court's ruling that Ostergren's site warranted First Amendment protection, it ruled that the protection should extend even further than the district court had ruled. This interpretation was made even easier for the court given the fact that she was posting the materials for the explicit purpose of drawing attention to the problem — it was disclosure, critique, and commentary via simple transparency. As the court noted:
Under Cox Broadcasting and its progeny, the First Amendment does not allow Virginia to punish Ostergren for posting its land records online without redacting SSNs when numerous clerks are doing precisely that.19
19 For the same reason, Virginia could not punish Ostergren for publishing a SSN-containing land record that had accidentally been overlooked during its imperfect redaction process—having a one to five percent error rate—unless Virginia had first corrected that error. Even then, we leave open whether under such circumstances the Due Process Clause would not preclude Virginia from enforcing section 59.1-443.2 without first giving Ostergren adequate notice that the error had been corrected.
Thus, we have an intriguing reversal of the principle I set out above (that it is important to restrict some legal information in order to set the rest free). In this case, it was important to (hopefully temporarily) make more visible the very type of information that ultimately needed to be restricted.

It's not even close, as the adjacent empricial evidence reveals. The 1930's (top graphic) clearly had drought conditions well surpassing those of 2012 (bottom graphic).
And, of course, the famous 1930's drought and heat waves took place under a regime of low atmospheric CO2 levels.

Dreams Coming True
The Christmas 1965 newsletter is not only historical itself it is the beginning of the reality of Mrs. Redfern's dream coming true. The newsletter speaks of her dream, and the belief that others in Nebraska will share in her passion. It refers to the first boy arriving at the Ranch, and the first Ranch "family" that has been created due to his arrival. The newsletter continued the requests for financial support. So much is wrapped up in this newsletter it makes it difficult to decide where to begin with this part of history.
In an earlier section, the lack of direction and focus of the new facility was briefly touched upon. Being a true pioneer, Mrs. Redfern wasn't afraid to forge ahead, even if there were times of wandering. She was so strong in her beliefs that she knew that her big picture would come into focus in time. Being a very new program in the State of Nebraska, there were few guidelines and rules by which the Boys Ranch should follow. In the book to follow, more of those details will be outlined, but for now we'll just say there was some wandering around the sandhills!
One item that does need addressed now, and of course, then: What should this new Boys Ranch be named? Initially it was noted in Board minutes that it would officially be called the Snow Redfern Boys Ranch. This seemed to make much sense and moved forward with no resistance. As we get into the physical development of the campus, it becomes very evident that the Nebraska Eagles were very committed to helping Mrs. Redfern's project by coming up with the funding to build the first modern dorm on the campus. This again will get more detail later, but the level of involvement led to some confusion about what the Boys Ranch would be named. It seems the naming rights were claimed by the State Eagles. At some point there had been some misunderstanding about what privileges went along with building that first dorm. The fact that the dorm would be called Eagle Ranch House was probably never in question. But to claim the entire Ranch as Eagle's Boys Ranch was more than the Board of Directors had envisioned. A picture of a car with that name on the door, plus documentation of a Board discussion addressing that issue, and moving to correct the misunderstanding is all the evidence that has been uncovered so far.
"(E.L.) Neuswanger then introduced Dick Engelhaupt and asked that he explain his duties as Liaison officer. He did so and also commented that there is some misunderstanding among Eagles as to who actually owns Boys Ranch. Some feel that the Eagles own the ranch and Dick felt that this matter should be cleared up immediately by some means."
Future planned interviews with prominent Eagle members will be very enlightening. It appears there may have been some discussion regarding ownership of the Boys Ranch, and perhaps even some negotiation, as the ending result was the name of Nebraska Boys Ranch. Ownership clearly was never in question, as the established Board of Directors, became the "owners" of the property once Mrs. Redfern established the Foundation.
When creating any business, and this was a business, the "firsts" become very significant. The first customer, the first dollar earned, the first product created, the first on and on. The anticipation of having the first boy on the campus was highly advertised. This first would mean that the Foundation was clearly "in business". (See the articles following this narrative that the Boys Ranch was in business.) The arrival of Bobby Dutton was literally like the "first child" being born into a family. This is evidenced by the baby announcement that was used to let donors and supporters know that the first boy was officially placed at the Boys Ranch. Bobby was from North Platte, and that's about all there is to share about his background. Again, thinking in terms of the "culture" that was to be developed at the Boys Ranch, his arrival meant that the first "family" was created. Establishing that the Ranch would follow a "family model" is extremely important. The influence of Mrs. Redfern and her vision was evidenced by this significant decision. Since the boys came from a difficult family situation, it was important that the Ranch provide them with an understanding of what a positive family environment could look like. Many decisions about what the program would look like were based on what that family should look like. Examples of this were: meals would be served in family style, grace would be said before every meal, gentlemen stand when a lady is being seated at the table, etc. Of course, the purpose of this teaching would hopefully follow the boys back home and carry over into their own lives as adults. Did this happen in every case? No, it didn't, but if even one boy was influenced by this training, it broke the cycle for him. As time passes, there are many examples of those boys who DID use this training. Future articles will exemplify this point.
So back to Bobby Dutton and what appears to be a celebrity tour. He was showered with many gifts and attention, which had to be quite a cultural shock to such a young boy. Meeting many dignitaries from the Nebraska Eagles and the community of Alliance had to be exciting, and yet a little overwhelming for a young boy who came from obscurity to being famous. To be able to ask him about his feelings as this all happened around him would be a great story in itself. How did he deal with this notoriety, and yet focus on the personal issues that he probably faced? To sit with him and just hear the story from his point of view would be a blessing. One picture that follows is very indicative of the "culture" that would evolve. Living on a real ranch had many benefits for young men, too many to mention here. But getting a pair of cowboy boots? What young man hasn't dreamed of having cowboy boots, and being around animals? Seeing the picture of Bobby getting his first pair of boots is a great example of a tradition that was started with him and carried through to the very last young man that was cared for at Nebraska Boys Ranch. (See the picture following this narrative.)
Traditions, such as getting a pair of cowboy boots, were extremely beneficial to the young men who lived at NBR. This was a sign of being welcomed to the campus, along with other traditions that were repetitious, thus comforting to young boys coming to live in a new and different environment. The more a young person experiences patterns in their lives, the more they feel "at home" and cared for; this is called creating a culture. The culture on the campus of Nebraska Boys Ranch was not an accident, but was created with careful planning, and carried out by very dedicated staff. Culture will be a concept that will be explored in greater depth in upcoming writings.
Following the arrival of Bobby Dutton, and the whirlwind tour by him, and many Eagle and local dignitaries, accepting of new boys to the Ranch slowed down. New challenges were being met by the Board of Directors, both financial and Nebraska regulations. Again, some of the first were coming up, such as paying tuition for the new arrivals, tuition for staff children, and meeting financial obligations. With little incoming via donations, and the little amount received for care payments, the Board had to figure out how to pay for expenses. At this time little detail on these issues will not be covered, but it is significant to understand the huge challenges the dedicated Directors faced.
Between 1965 and 1968 three more boys arrived at Nebraska Boys Ranch. Through research, and looking back at this timeline, this writer discovered something huge about himself he had never given much thought to before. Forgive the personal reflection at this time, but it is significant to understand my deep interest, and involvement in, the history of Snow Redfern Memorial Foundation/Nebraska Boys Ranch.
My teaching career (and work with youth) began in 1968 with a brief (1 semester) at Mirage Flats, Hay Springs, Nebraska. The country school was NOT small as there were 72 students, 4 teachers, a bus driver and food service provider. This was a great experience and was much appreciated by me, thus it could not be left out. However, I knew I had to be in a larger school. I applied for, and received, a teaching position down the road in Alliance, Nebraska. My first full year of teaching was the 1968-1969 school year. The significance of this time frame is that I had, in my 7th grade Social Science class, a young man named Alvin. At that time, I knew very little, actually nothing, about the existence or purpose of Nebraska Boys Ranch. Now, looking back at the history of Nebraska Boys Ranch, I discover that I had in my class one of the first four boys in placement. That means that I started working with "Boys Ranchers" as they were know as, in 1968. So, adding 7 years to the 31 that I was directly involved with the Foundation, I have served they youth and SRMF for 38 years. Guess I do have a little background with the Foundation, and thus knowledge of parts of its history. Therefore, it is very important to the current Directors of the Foundation that this history be archived, and for me to strive to complete a full book with more details than will be covered and posted on our website.
With this bit of background, we will now move into the Nebraska Boys Ranch as they began to receive more boys into placement. The program itself was wonderful and benefited several hundred youth in its service to at-risk youth. As we move forward, we can now begin to get some insight from former employees and former youth who were part of the next piece of history.

Have you ever found yourself in a predicament when you started a stamp project such as making a card, then you realize you don't have the right color Ink Pad? You have a picture in your mind of the tone-on-tone look you want for your card (ink that is just a shade or two darker than the cardstock you are using) but without that color Ink Pad, what will you do now? (Not EVERYONE has all 48 colors of Stampin' Up! inks in their stash!) So...you have a dilemma. Do you start the card over using a different color cardstock, and change things up a bit based on an Ink Pad color you already do have? Now you have to start over, and you really need this card in a hurry!
You don't have to get caught off guard like this again! There is a simple solution to this problem so NEXT time, you aren't stuck without the right Ink Pad color. Yes, you COULD order all the other Classic Stampin' Up! Ink Pads you don't have (or whatever brand of ink you are using) but you'll be happy to learn that you don't have to do that-unless you really want to-I won't stop you!
There IS another solution to this problem...and one pad will always come to your rescue-VersaMark is CLEARLY the answer! Why is this one pad the solution to your problem? Because VersaMark Ink is a watermark ink...a CLEAR ink, which when stamped on colored cardstock, will give the effect of a darker shade of the same color-(tone-on-tone) like a watermark! So if you purchase this one ink pad, you will be able to have a darker shade of every colored cardstock paper you own!
But there is something else I want to make perfectly clear-the VersaMark Pad isn't solely a watermark pad, it's an embossing pad too! There are so many things you can do with a VersaMark pad, that I'm going to teach a class on it!
Be on the lookout for this Trendy Techniques Class coming up in March and be sure you sign up for it! (The Calendar on the right will be updated shortly). You will learn some of the techniques you can do with a VersaMark Ink Pad, such as Clear Embossing, Color Embossing, Tone-on-Tone, Poppin' Pastels, etc.! You will want to have your own VersaMark ink pad for this class, so if you want to order one yourself, you can do so from my online store- www.stampwithdeb.stampinup.com anytime, 24/7-or email deb@debbiestamps.com if you would like me to order it for you-and I'll send you a PayPal invoice.
CLEARLY, this will be one of the best little pad investments you will ever make!
Surfing anyone? Tearing cardstock-freehand or need help?
WOW -two posts in one day! I'm playing 'catch up' after the long holiday weekend!

I used the Floral background stamp and large Oval Punch to make the tropical surf board.
Tearing cardstock is really a fun way to add interest to a card...and your cardstock goes a long way because you can get many tears from a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 and even more from 12x12 if you have alot of cards to reproduce!

I've finally finished up what will likely be the final version of the cutscene introducing the player to the story behind The Ethereal Plains. At this point, the story is developed enough where I can feel confident laying out the groundwork for the story ahead. Being that I've always preferred "seeing" the story as it is told, I decided to go for what I feel is a much more interesting opening cutscene.
I've been playing through other RPG Maker games lately and it seems every single one of them lays out the story for the player with a huge wall of text, mentioning numerous places, people and locations. I probably won't remember any of them or get "in to" the game until I have a better understanding of the story, so the wall of text does nothing but bore me. Because of this, I chose not to slam the player with too much information right away, making the introduction to The Ethereal Plains that much more entertaining and easy to understand up-front.

So if you have "Devices and Printers" open BEFORE you click on safely remove icon, the menu (what to remove) appears instantly. Sadly this is not a real solution to have this open all the time. I didn't find any fix to this, but there is a very good alternative if you want safely remove your devices in almost the same way - it's a programm called "HotSwap!" - definetly worth a try!

The LX club players and supporters, who travelled to this enjoyable annual fixture, were happy to play in brilliant sunny weather, after the heavy rains all week.
The Lewes team, which had been augmented with players from other Sussex and Surrey Clubs, looked to be formidable opposition, and the LX Club had strengthened their team with Steve Hattersley (Trojans) as a guest player, to match the 53 year old Lewes player who had been drafted in at a very late stage.
The first quarter started with LX having to defend resolutely with John Widgery and John Longden tackling well, and Tim Pollard in cracking form, keeping out three well struck Lewes penalty corners. However, fortunes were suddenly reversed when John Longden hit a precise pass to Alan Jackson, who slipped the ball to Gordon Small, the latter beating his marker and the Lewes goalkeeper for speed, and putting LX Club 1-0 ahead. This slick movement was repeated again a few minutes later - John Longden moved the ball to Steve Hattersley, whose excellent pass to the quick Gordon Small, meant the centre forward was again able to round the goalie to make the half-time score 2-0.
With the temperature rising to the mid 20's for the second half, LX knew it would be hard going. However, Peter Ross and Sudesh Nayar at right and left half respectively, injected extra skill and determination into the game. Against the run of play Lewes eventually scrambled a goal following a penalty corner with Geoff Dennis, pushing home a loose ball to make it 2-1. Lewes were now tiring as Captain Alan Jackson rotated his squad well, and with Tony Williams and Keith Hedley really stretching their younger opponents, and John Davey at centre forward distributing the ball well, LX started to get several penalty corners. It was from one of these that Adrian Money, following a smart interchange of passes with Alan Jackson, scored with a powerful shot to turn the game into a brilliant 3-1 well deserved win for the Club.
Overall for this fixture LX Club now have 4 wins, Lewes 2 wins, and there have been 3 draws.
Many thanks go to Keith Novis and Paul Benoy (Sussex County Umpires) for umpiring, and to the staff of the Circa Restaurant in Lewes who provided an excellent meal, and the wives from both sides, who came along to support.
LX Club team: Tim Pollard, John Widgery, John Longden, Peter Ross, Steve Hattersley (Guest), Sudesh Nayar, Tony Williams, Adrian Money, John Davey, Gordon Small, Alan Jackson (Capt), Keith Hedley.

わさびの新聞#7
On March 18, 2013 By gluxboxIn 3DS, Animal Crossing
Week of 3/10 – 3/16
Public Service Announcement:
Mayor Neko is a Horrible Barista
The Wasabi Cafe has been a hot spot for citizens, socialites, and town workers alike. Since the day it opened, business has been booming for the Cafe. Mayor Neko has been a daily patron at the Cafe, and Brewster wanted to reward the Mayor for her support by allowing her to work as a part-time barista. Unfortunately for the town, this has resulted in disastrous coffee concoctions. Due to the fact that Mayor Neko does not speak the town's native Japanese language fluently, she is unable to understand each customer's specific coffee orders. Only 1 customer out of the 8-10 that Mayor Neko has served has walked away happy with their beverage. Not for lack of trying, of course. Former Mayor Tortimer was quoted as saying, "[Mayor Neko] has unmatched enthusiasm… but the coffee she served was the most horrific cup o' joe I've ever tasted." The Wasabi News continues to support Mayor Neko's efforts, but merely wants to warn all fans of the Wasabi Cafe to lower their expectations if they come in to buy coffee on a day that Mayor Neko is working.
On 3/12, Mayor Neko was contacted by Mayor Yumi of Kasen in regards to a petition that needed signing. Mayor Neko immediately opened the gates to Wasabi so that Mayor Yumi could take care of her town's official business. Mayor Yumi made quick work of her task, and got the signatures needed in record time. When asked what the petition was for, Mayor Yumi informed Mayor Neko that the Wasabi townies had signed a pledge to "Love Fiercely" (or something along those lines). The petition had been created by none other than the creepy Nelson of Kasen. The Wasabi News has warned all of the townies who signed up on this petition to please use caution. Shizue is currently checking federal watch lists to make sure Nelson hasn't been involved in any… incidents prior to this petition, as he is known to make suggestive comments to young females in Kasen.
PUBLIC WORKS UPDATE
At the time of publication, the latest Public Works project to redesign the face of the Town Hall was still in the funding stages. Mayor Neko had informed the Wasabi News that at the time of print, only ฿40,000 was needed and that she expected the project to be completed early next week. As soon as more information is available, we will add the details to our next issue. Check back next week to see the finished Town Hall face-lift!
WASABI WELCOMES NEW RESIDENT
A new resident has recently started up a new life in Wasabi. This new, human resident is named ドラえもん, or Doraemon. He is named after the famous animated cat from Japan, and he too has an affinity for hooded sweatshirts with big pockets. Mayor Neko says that Doraemon is her distant cousin and he is looking for a fresh start. Doraemon is a little shy and hasn't made a huge impact on Wasabi yet, but the Wasabi News expects big things from him in the near future!
MUSEUM UPDATE: NEW ARTWORK
One of Doraemon's first contributions to the improvement of Wasabi was to inspect Crazy Redd's artwork for the week. Not being any more of an expert on the subject of Art History than Mayor Neko, Doraemon did his best to pick the one piece of art that was not a forgery. The good news is that with two human residents, now both Mayor Neko and Doraemon can both purchase artwork, giving the Wasabi Museum a better chance at obtaining new legitimate paintings and statues. The even better news is that there is a new painting in the Wasabi Museum, donated by Mayor Neko.
NEW CAMPUS DLC AVAILABLE
On 3/14, another item from the Campus DLC series was delivered via a message from Nintendo. The latest decor item in the Campus series is the Campus Wallpaper. The wallpaper looks like lined, college-ruled notebook paper. Mayor Neko stated, "It's a little bland to look at, but it certainly matches the theme of the Campus series. I'm working on setting up a DLC room in my house, but it's not ready yet. Sorry for the mess in this photo!" Since it is hard to tell, the wallpaper in the accompanying photo is in fact the DLC college-ruled wallpaper.
PERFECT TOWN STATUS UPDATE
At the time of publication, the village of Wasabi has continued to maintain the Perfect Town Status. Mayor Neko has been checking daily with Shizue to ensure this; however, the Mayor believes she might have forgotten to check one day this week. This means that the tally of dates in a row to check for Perfect Town Status might have been interrupted, and it might take a little longer to receive the bonus prize than was initially stated. Doraemon is now checking the Perfect Town Status as well, in hopes that he too will receive the prize. Only time will tell if their hard work pays off! Some of the townies have noticed that Mayor Neko has been secretly collecting all the Jacob's Ladder flowers that have been popping up, and she is reportedly hoarding them at the Mayor's Estate, despite her vow to not work on improvements to her estate until she works on 3 Public Works for the town. King was quoted saying, "As long as she's only taking flowers for her estate, it's not such a big deal. After all, my house is surrounded by an insurmountable number of posies and hybrids, why shouldn't the Mayor's house be the same?" Another anonymous townie overheard King's quote and muttered, "I heard the Mayor has a gold rose on her estate now, too. Figures that the royal villagers in town would defend the Mayor on a topic like this…"
3/31/13 – Bunny Day
Special Guest: The Easter Bunny
Spend the day hunting for eggs! Eggs can be found in the ground, floating in balloons, hiding in trees, even in the river! Rumors claim that you can even go diving and find Easter Eggs during this holiday.

Hehehehe I laughed at the watchlist comment. Nelson has been even more creepy lately. He was talking to Taiga about "hidden dances" or something along those lines and he told Yumi that his house was a "romantic" spot. Eeek! I do think he may be on some sex offender list somewhere.
Congrats on the new resident! I need to try and squeeze in one more resident before I go to Japan so I can maximize my DLC. 😉 I just don't know where on earth to put him/her.

Q: ARKit how to place object on plane surface? I'm new to ARKit and I imported Unity ARKit Plugin from the Unity Assets Store, I loaded UnityARKitScene to the scene, and replaced the hitcube GameObject with my prefab asset.
I can run the project on my device, but the model which I imported can be placed not only on surfaces but on the 'air' too.
Is there anything that I need to change to make place the model on plane surfaces only?
Thank you.

A: In UnityARHitTestExample.cs just change the following code
// prioritize reults types
ARHitTestResultType[] resultTypes = {
    ARHitTestResultType.ARHitTestResultTypeExistingPlaneUsingExtent,
    // if you want to use infinite planes use this:
    //ARHitTestResultType.ARHitTestResultTypeExistingPlane,
    ARHitTestResultType.ARHitTestResultTypeHorizontalPlane,
    ARHitTestResultType.ARHitTestResultTypeFeaturePoint
};

To this
// prioritize reults types
ARHitTestResultType[] resultTypes = {
    ARHitTestResultType.ARHitTestResultTypeExistingPlaneUsingExtent,
    // if you want to use infinite planes use this:
    //ARHitTestResultType.ARHitTestResultTypeExistingPlane,
    //ARHitTestResultType.ARHitTestResultTypeHorizontalPlane,
    //ARHitTestResultType.ARHitTestResultTypeFeaturePoint
};

Leaked Memo Urges GOP to Say 'Undocumented Immigrants'
The leaked memo also urged members of the GOP to stop using the words 'illegals,' 'aliens' and the term 'anchor baby.'
Jorge Rivas Jan 29, 2013 10:28AM EST
A prominent center-right group working to bring more Latino voters to the Republican Party sent out a memo urging the GOP to start referring to immigrants without papers
as "undocumented immigrants."
"When talking about immigrants: Do use 'undocumented immigrant' when referring to those here without documentation," read the memo sent out by The Hispanic Leadership Network (HLN) that was obtained by The Hill.
HLN is co-chaired by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and former Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez. The organization identifies as an "advocacy action group focused on engaging the Hispanic community on center-right policies based on the principles of freedom, limited government and individual empowerment."
The leaked memo also urged members of the GOP to stop using the words 'illegals,' 'aliens' and the term 'anchor baby.'
"Tone and rhetoric will be key in the days and weeks ahead as both liberals and conservatives lay out their perspectives. Please consider these tonally sensitive messaging points as you discuss immigration, regardless of your position," HLN executive director Jennifer Korn wrote in the memo.
The memo apparently arrived too late for the Senators that took part in the press conference Monday unveiling the "Bipartisan Framework for Comprehensive Immigration Reform." Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY), John McCain (R-AZ), Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) used the term 'illegal immigrant' during the press conference.
But a few hours later Jeff Flake (R-AZ), also a member of the bipartisan group of senators developing the immigration reform framework, had a different tone in a conversation with "News Hour" host Gwen Ifill.
"I think you'll see a different tone all the way around," Sen. Flake explained to Ifill after she asked if using the term undocumtented immigrant was a conscious decision. "I'm from ground zero in this issue in Arizona and you've seen a different tone in the last year or so and you'll continue to see a different tone moving ahead across the entire country."
Flake's words are a sign there is a significant shift on immigration after the party had a disappointing election. But perhaps the more significant change is that the party is coming to accept they can't call human beings illegal.
"We started the Drop the I-Word campaign because it was clear that the I-word is not neutral. It reflects the value we assign to people, families and communities," said Rinku Sen, president of the Applied Research Center and publisher of Colorlines.com.
"The GOP is now joining many American communities who have decided to stop using a word that is both inaccurate and dehumanizing. Their shift reflects a changed climate for immigrants and hope for a fuller policy debate than we have been able to have in a decade," said Sen.

Health education is extremely important to motivate people to best care for their bodies. I have long had a passion for health that draws me to share my wealth of knowledge and experience with others to optimize their own health. For more than a decade I have been working with people in our community & teaching nutrition and cooking where I have noticed a common theme of people being overfed but undernourished. And I see that people are so confused about what to eat from hearing conflicting voices in the media and from health professionals, so they continue to struggle with chronic disease, or just plain not feeling well. I am passionate about teaching people how to make the right food choices to not only lower their cholesterol, but also prevent heart disease, lose weight, treat and prevent cancer and reduce or even reverse diabetes. I want to empower you to make food choices that will lead to optimal health. Let's set the record straight and do this together!
