Before 1997, if you asked me what rhubarb tasted like I would have said it was sour but tasted faintly like strawberry because I had only ever tried rhubarb in combination with strawberries. I had heard rumors of strawberry-less rhubarb recipes, but had never tried one.
In Germany, we were fortunate to sample many, many rhubarb cakes (Rhabarberkuchen), most of them at the Kuchentheken, or Counters-with-Yummy-Cakes (my own translation), at Volksmarches we attended around the country. (Volksmarches are organized walks through woods, fields and towns in 5K, 10K and 20K loops for walkers, and 42K loops for bikers and marathoners. But I digress… ) At the Kuchentheken, you can get a generous slice of cake and strong cup of coffee for about 2 Euros — an incredible deal, and a welcome one after a long walk. At this time of year, when rhubarb is in high season, you can find at the Kuchentheken (and in the bakeries in town, to a lesser degree) an astounding varieties of homemade cakes, tortes and pies (but all called Kuchen) starring rhubarb. Of course, I tried any new variation we came across — there are rhubarb cakes with meringue toppings and ones with glazes, cakes with streusel and ones coated with nuts, cakes with custard filling and ones filled with sponge cake. German cakes, like many Japanese cakes, would be considered under-sweetened by American standards, but T and I prefer less-sweet sweets so these were perfect. Most of the rhubarb cake variations had no fruit other than rhubarb.
I learned to love the distinct flavor of naked rhubarb. I experimented with recipes for stews and even a savory bread pudding with rhubarb, but making a cake was never a priority because there were so many to try from all these accomplished home bakers during the season! But it's been 4 years since we moved from Germany, and now that we're again seeing lots of beautiful fresh rhubarb in the markets (something we didn't see as much on Oahu), it's reminded me that I can't just look up the nearest Volksmarch to get my fix of homemade rhubarb cake/pie. I'll finally have to make one myself.
Dissolve yeast in warm milk with 1 TBL. of flour taken from the measured flour, and mix well. Set aside for 10 minutes to activate yeast.
Meanwhile, combine remaining flour, butter, sugar, milk, grated lemon peel, eggs, and salt. Once yeast is bubbling, add to dry ingredients with remaining milk and knead together to make a smooth dough. Cover and let rise until doubled — it took about an hour in my cool but humid kitchen. Meanwhile, prep the fruit and streusel.
Wash, dry, and cut the rhubarb into 1" pieces. Place in a large bowl and sprinkle sugar over. Let rest until needed..
Combine all ingredients for Streusel, and mix well until large crumbs form.
Dot cake dough with diced butter, then put rhubarb and any accumulated juices in the bowl over the dough. Top with streusel and let rest for 10 minutes. Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 35 minutes. If streusel starts to brown too quickly, cover with foil.
Remove from oven and let cool. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. A nice dollop of sweetened creme fraiche or drained yogurt would compliment this nicely.
I'm the first to admit that I'm not a prolific baker. When I do bake, I have to be assured that most of my creation will end up in other hands, so it doesn't end up on my hips! Two pre-schoolers and their chocolate-loving mom brought out this recipe for chocolate cupcakes. Cocoa powder alone will not do, in my book — to deliver real chocolate flavor, there has to be melted chocolate. Only half the batter got the extra shot of dark chocolate chips, so the munchkins' parents had some control of how much caffeine they got after dinner!
fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
A quick summary of recipes that didn't get posted during the holiday sabbatical, but were too delicious to ignore.
First was a dried fruit and nutcake that just happened to also be vegan. I say it that way because there's a misconception that vegan desserts = "dry, crumbly and and uninteresting." I confess, I've thought that myself. But done right, and with recipes developed by people who love good food, vegan sweets are light, luscious and very ono. The vegan butterscotch quick bread by Hannah of Bittersweet that we made in October (see post) proved that point, and so did this brandy-soaked dried fruit and nut cake from bee and Jai at Jugalbandi. Their recipe provided enough batter for a gift cake (shown here, made with a Gugelhupf pan — smaller than a Bundt) and a 8x8 cake for us. Bee recommended soaking the dried fruits in rum for a month before baking!
I only had 3 days to soak my cherries, apricots and raisins in brandy, but I would like to try the longer soaking method in future. I did save the soaking liquid, poured it over the square cake, wrapped it tightly in plastic and foil, and kept it in the fridge until after new year's. We had our first slices this past weekend over a beach-side breakfast — I have to say, our spirits rose with the sun! It is so flavorful and moist, it's hard to believe it was made without eggs or oil. I'm not a fan of glaced fruit, so I don't like traditional fruitcakes. This, however, is a cake of a different order. Bee's Fruit and Nut Cake recipe.
We were invited to a wonderful Italian-American Christmas dinner with our friends Laurie and Brian and their family. Chef Brian prepared stromboli, veal parmesan, and spaghetti with meatballs, all from scratch — he was prepping into the wee hours of Christmas morning, bless him! I offered to make Tiramisu for dessert, in keeping with their Italian menu. Laurie is expecting their third child in February so the raw eggs in my usual recipe were out of the question. Instead, I tried a creme anglaise base so the eggs were cooked before adding the other custard ingredients, and proceeded as usual. I was impressed how close this came to the original, without the worry of having to use raw eggs! This may be my recipe of choice in future because it does eliminate the concern about the eggs. Don't be tempted to substitute cocoa powder for the grated chocolate in this recipe. Chalky powder (no matter which brand) can't compete with the creamy texture and taste grated dark chocolate lends this recipe. Tiramisu, custard-based recipe. Our thanks and love to Brian and Laurie for sharing their family celebration this year — Chef B, you're the best!
This was an alternative recipe for sweet spiced nuts (see post) that does not use egg whites. It's actually more like the candied walnuts (minus the sugar coating) we had with the spicy prawns at our favorite Chinese restaurant, and they are certainly tasty. But (you knew there was a "but" coming) they're cooked first in a sugar syrup, cooled in syrup overnight, dried another night, deep-fried, and coated in sugar. It's pretty time-consuming, and very laden with fat and sugar. With that word to the wise, here's the recipe for Crispy Sweet Walnuts.
For our second consecutive Christmas Eve we had Dungeness crab cioppino. Little piece of heaven. Until we moved to Hawaii 3 years ago, I had not had Dungeness in 10 years, and T had never tried it. Having grown up in Maine and around lobster boats as a teen, dear hubby was of the opinion that no crab was worth the effort of all the work it took to eat it. He had never tried Dungeness. Let's just say, in the immortal words of "The Borg": he was assimilated. This is the first time we've included fresh clams — their extra sweetness was a delight, but not necessary if they're not available where you are. Dungeness crab cioppino recipe.

Open Mike with Chris Evans. Oh, and Sparky.
By WibblerMay 7, 2006April 12th, 20082 Comments
"Open Mike tonight if you're around."
For the last few years, the Cranley Hotel has played host to Sparky, Open Mike extraordinaire. As labouriously detailed in Sparky – The Final Encore (with flash goodness too!), his songs light up a darkened room, raise the roof and could bring a tear to a glass eye, all at the same time. He semi-retired from singing over a year ago, but his fanbase demanded more. Much more. So he's become an unofficially regular feature back at the hotel, and his text message was enticing. The idea of a night listening to his songs battled with a strong desire to do absolutely nothing. Another text message, 2 hours later, instantly made up my mind.
"Currently sitting about 2 foot from Chris Evans."
Shunta was at the hotel watching Sparky, and by sheer coincidence so was Chris Evans, presenter, broadcaster and millionaire good-time guy. The chance of Open Mike and a celebrity appearance was too much, and Michelle and I rushed out the door. We were eager as beavers.
Unlike my car. The flashing tyre light has been on for a number of days, and like a buffoon I'd ignored it. My car was plainly peeved, choosing this moment to throw a tyre-based strop, flashing a big red warning light and forcing me to stop.
And so it was that while friends and Mr Evans were living it up in Cranleigh, Michelle and I were sat at the side of the road in Guildford, pumping air into my right rear tyre. Luckily, within twenty minutes we were back on the road, and steaming towards the hotel. We rocked up at 9pm, just in time to see the last dregs of a Chris Evans-sponsored sambuca bottle draining into the mouth of Shunta. They were all plainly drunk, and my original plan to drink little and drive home went out of the window as quickly as a defenestrated slipper. We drank, listened and clapped along with Chris and his small entourage, who was plainly as taken with Sparky as we are. He was also plainly very drunk.
Shunta was on good form, fresh from a rather vicious barbers. His off-the-cuff suggestion for a made up song – titled "I wasn't born here, I'm just here for the cheese" – was one of my favourite moments of the night. A bit later, eyeing up Mr Evans, he hatched a plan. "If you can sleep with him," he asked his fiance Lucy, pointing at our celebrity, "we'll be quids in." Lucy agreed, the game girl, and after a quick touch-up of makeup, managed to get a seat at his table. She had stiff competition, mind, from Chris's girlfriend. And worse luck was to come – his girlfriend was plainly so drunk that there was nothing for it but to leave. We managed not to be too disappointed and continued well into the night with song, dance and The Only Gay Eskimo.
So now, thanks to Sparky and Shunta, I can now say that I've been drinking with Chris Evans. The evening was also a winner for Sparky, not just because of his sensational singing (ably backed up, by the way, by Shaun, who appears to be getting worryingly good). Chris Evans was impressed enough to invite him to host nights at a pub he's about to buy in Chiddingfold. It's a small step to stardom, Sparky…

Mall of Africa scoops up Spectrum Award at 20th Annual SACSC Convention 2016
by PropertyWheel_GW
Mall of Africa in Midrand, Gauteng, has been named the winner of the sought-after Spectrum Award for the best retail development, becoming an icon of the real estate development landscape at the South African Council of Shopping Centre's (SACSC) Annual Retail Design and Development Awards (RDDA).
The results of the prestigious awards were announced on the first day of the 20th Annual SACSC Congress, which is underway in Sandton Central for the rest of this week. Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking (NCIB) is the main sponsor of this influential event.
The awards celebrate exceptional shopping centre designs of retail development projects within the South African property industry, together with their economic success. They include new shopping centres and the redevelopment and refurbishment of existing centres, as well as the design of retail stores and restaurants.
Amanda Stops, CEO of SACSC, says: "The development and design of shopping centres is a multidimensional and sophisticated discipline. It's a creative, technical and commercial discipline that brings architecture, interior design, retail principles, consumer dynamics, environmental innovation and technology together in the conception and construction of retail space. There is much more to retail design than first meets the eye."
The awards consider the entire development package, including excellent design resolution, achieving a clear overall development objective, responding positively to the market and surroundings, adopting innovative design and construction solutions, and embracing environmental techniques.
Mall of Africa delivered on all these points and won the category for new regional and super-regional shopping centres above 20,000sqm in size, to qualify to take top honours overall. Mall of Africa is 130,000sqm and developed by Atterbury Properties and designed by MDS Architecture.
Finalists in this category also included Baywest Mall in Port Elizabeth, developed by Abacus Asset Management and designed by dhk Architects, as well as Watercrest Mall in KwaZulu-Natal, developed by Growthpoint with Tom Hattingh Architects. A commendation was also given to Mall of the South in Johannesburg, which is developed by Zenprop and designed by Vivid Architects.
In the category for new neighbourhood and convenience shopping centre smaller than 20,000sqm in size, Dainfern Square scooped the top award. Located in Gauteng, Dainfern Square is developed by Abacus Asset Management with dhk Architects.
Finalists in this category include Mascam Mall in Vredendal, Western Cape, which was developed by Harry Viljoen Properties and designed by Smith Architects, and Blue Hills Shopping Centre in Midrand, developed by Retail Africa with Skyscape Architects.
The winner chosen in the hotly-contested category for the renovation or expansion of an existing shopping centre was Riverside Shopping Centre, in Bryanston, by developer Moolman Group with MDS Architecture. Showing its expertise in this area, Moolman Group with also the developer of two other finalists, Lephalale Mall in Limpopo with Boogertman + Partners Architects and Meadowdale Mall in Gauteng with ARC Architects. In addition, Greenacres Mall, developed by Growthpoint and designed by SVA International, was also a finalist in this category.
The calibre of South African retail property development and design continues to enjoy growing international esteem, and the country's developers, designers, professionals and investors are increasingly active internationally. In recognition of this, the SACSC RDDAs include a special category for international shopping centre developments in which South Africans play a major role. Achimota Retail Centre in Accra, Ghana, took the trophy for top shopping centre developed outside South Africa by our local experts. It is developed by Atterbury and designed by Boogertman + Partners Architects.
Checkers Hyper in Mall of Africa, owned by Shoprite and designed by TDC & Co, won the category for the best shopping centre store larger than 1,000sqm. Also at Mall of Africa, Woolworths received a commendation in this category for its design by the Woolworths team.
This Way Out – Cape Town, owned by Abrie Botma and designed by Plan It Design, won the category for the best shopping centre store smaller than 1,000sqm. Tread+Miller at Canal Walk Shopping Centre, owned by Cape Union Mart and designed by Dakota Design, received a commendation in this category.
Tasha's in Nelson Mandela Square topped the category for best restaurant design, created by nd Design in for Natasha Sideris. Finalists in the category also included Nando's at Richards Bay Town Square, delivered by Nando's and Egg Designs, and Casa Bella at Grand West Casino, owned by The Spur Group and designed by Dakota Design. Two Mall of Africa eateries were finalists in this category, being Lucky Bread Company, created by Braam de Villiers and Earthworld Architects and Interiors, and Zuri, owned by Lakama and designed by MDS Architecture.
Stops remarks: "We can all be incredibly proud of these achievements. The annual RDDAs continue to showcase the world-class creativity, innovation and retail knowledge and the excellent level of retail development and design within South Africa."
A panel of recognised and respected retail and property professionals judge the RDDAs. They are challenged to select the best-of-the-best from developments of the highest calibre in the South African retail property industry, and this year selected the winners from the over 70 entries that streamed in for the awards.

Hegel and Whitehead presents a careful exploration of the similarities between these two formidable representatives of systematic philosophy. Some of the most distinguished scholars in European and American philosophy converge herein to explore the similarities in Hegel's and Whitehead's contemporary influence, as well as in the content of their respective systems and in their philosophical styles.
This volume begins with important critical, comparative, and historical assessments of the contemporary problems in metaphysics, philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, ethics, social thought, and philosophy of religion, of history, and of culture against the background of the important contributions made to these discussions by both Hegel and Whitehead. The result is a collection of vigorous new essays in systematic philosophy that reflect the enduring contributions of these two philosophers to the contemporary philosophical climate on two continents.
George R. Lucas, Jr. is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Chairman of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Santa Clara.

Q: How can a low level character help in a Guild Castle Seige? I just joined a guild. I've done about 4 sieges with them; all I really do is stand at a tower collecting resources. This is easy enough, since I get killed in one shot by all the level 75 characters, but it sucks that the amount of resources I obtain is miniscule.
How can I be more helpful to my guild during a siege?

A: low levels can go to 1 of the towers to the right or left of their castle, stand close to it and click it. You will start collecting merits and adding to the crystal count. The other players can trade with you and take your merits they use these to build defences. If you go to a site called Curse and download "Auto Trade" it makes it much easier to trade or collect later.

A: As far as i know (does not have to say anything, because i just did 2 sieges) you cannot do very much as low level. The rewards you get AFTER the siege is the only thing that is of interest for you on low level. If you really want to help (i.e. killing others) you have to grow.

Q: C# WebBrowser or Normal Browser I'm getting "banned" message from a forum site cause of my windows application which tries to connect over webbrowser control by this code:
webbrowser1.Navigate("http://www.xyz.com");
I can connect without any "banned" message with my normal browsers both IE8.0 and FireFox 3.6. I cannot find any differences between my application and normal browser. It seems "banned" message is not related my IP address, cookies or header info (User-Agent, HTTP-Accept)
Please help: How can this forum site realize my request coming from normal browser or application?
Note: Sorry for my English. Thank you for your understanding.

A: I thing they banned the IP is your system IP not your connection IP who can be change but system IP can not.
some application set their agent like Firefox's user agent then server can't find that the request not come from browser they make them because they need that server can't find somebody going of their site by code not just using browser.
the answer i put nothing match to your question.
Fake identity means i tell about the request make by code inside a application not by browser user use.
the user-agent change make them as normal request that they can't find the request they have come by code not by browser.

A: At its most basic you're only sending the following information:

*

*IP Address

*Headers

*GET data

There must be a difference in one of the above for the site to be able to differentiate between the browser control and your actual browser - There's simply no other difference unless multiple requests are involved.

5 Queer Romance Series That Center Found Family
Laura Sackton Jun 5, 2020
There are two things I love most in romance: a good series that I can sink into and books that celebrate queer family. I love the way a good romance series allows me to really get to know a group of characters. And if those characters happen to be a queer family—whether it takes the shape of a rock band, the denizens of a small town, or a tight-knight group of men helping each other survive in Regency London—even better.
All of these queer romance series celebrate queer family in different ways. Some focus on a small group of friends turned family. Some focus on larger queer communities. The characters are as different from each other as the families they build. What these books have in common is their portrayal of queer family as something vital and precious. These novels remind me that our ability to create family on our own terms is one of the great joys of being queer. And getting to read love stories set in and among that kind of family, romances that are held up and made possible by queer family? Bring it on.
by Adriana Herrera
This four book series, beginning with American Dreamer, follows a group of queer Caribbean and Afro-Caribbean men in New York (the romances take place in New York City and Ithaca). There are a thousand things I love about this series. It centers immigrant experiences in real, complicated, and beautiful ways. The characters who make up this queer family of friends are all immigrants and the children of immigrants, and those identities matter. Herrera also brilliantly blends politics, social justice and activism, and romance. Every book in the series has a strong subplot or underlying storyline. And though each novel is about a different couple, this series is also about the importance of queer family and friendship. The romances are the focus, but the queer family the characters have built with each other is just as important in their lives, and it shows in the writing.
The books in this series are all standalones, and mostly feature M/M romances (the last book is M/F). But it is absolutely worth reading all four, and the last book, American Sweethearts, bings the whole series to a lovely conclusion, as all the characters head to the Dominican Republic for the wedding of one of their own.
Twisted Wishes
by Anna Zabo
This trilogy, beginning with Syncopation, centers the members of a rock band, Twisted Wishes, who are not merely professional colleagues but also one another's family. It's one of my favorite queer families in all of romance, and one of the best things about this series is watching how it grows as members of the band fall in love. The first book is a romance between the lead singer and the band's new drummer. But in the next two books, band members find love with people outside the band: in Counterpoint, Dom, the band's guitarist falls for a quiet computer programmer, and in Reverb, the bassist, Mish, falls in love with her bodyguard. One of the tenets of queer family is its expansiveness, and Zabo does a brilliant job of writing that into these stories. They're also very good at angst, so if you like your romance with a side order of obstacles, these books are for you.
Like the Dreamers series, these are all standalones that have their own complete plots. But you'll get more from the series if you read them in order. The band goes through a lot over the course of the trilogy, and watching the role that queer family plays, not just in the romance arcs, but in the growth of the band itself, is an utter delight.
Queers of La Vista
by Kris Ripper
This five book series, beginning with Gays of Our Lives, is a series of love stories set in the queer community of La Vista, California. This series does have an overarching plot: a murder mystery. A string of queer people, mostly connected with the local queer club, Club Fred's, are murdered, and the case heats up as the series progresses, finally coming together in the last book.
This series is not about one queer family, but several smaller overlapping ones. In The Butch and the Beautiful, the main character, her father, and her best friend form one kind of queer family. In the last book in the series, As La Vista Turns, that best friend falls for her pal Mildred, who lives with her own queer family: her son, and the couple from the first book in the series, Gays of Our Lives. All of these different families connect and interact with each other at the central queer gathering space, Club Fred's.
One thing I love about this series is the diversity of queer experiences it depicts. There's an M/M story, two F/F stories, a polyamorous M/M/M story, and an M/F story. The characters are of many races and genders, and they express their queerness in different ways. There's also a whole slew of queer side characters. The result is a queer romance series that feels like real life: it's about a queer community that's messy and imperfect. Divisions between people cause real pain, but there's also a lot of openness, celebration, and solidarity.
Society of Gentlemen
by K.J. Charles
This historical romance trilogy, beginning with A Fashionable Indulgence, follows a group of queer men in Regency London who rely on each other for comfort and support. I love queer family in historical romance. There's something soothing and affirming in reading about queer people creating space for themselves in a world that deems their existence illegal and immoral. Though many of the characters in this series are aristocrats, it also delves into the class inequities in England at the time. A Seditious Affair (one of my fav romances ever) features a Tory government worker and a radical bookseller. The final installment, A Gentleman's Position, is about Lord Richard Vane, a wealthy man who devotes his time and money to keeping his queer family safe, and his valet. Charles thoughtfully handles the dynamics of class and power.
This series has the kind of rich historical detail and complex characters that I've come to expect from Charles. It also centers physical spaces where queer characters can safely congregate, which is something I always enjoy reading. Though each romance is a standalone, there are several overarching plot points that'll be more enjoyable if you read the whole series. You'll want to, anyway; watching this queer family stand by each other through the ins and outs of love and politics is a joy.
Welcome to Sea Port
by Katrina Jackson
In this four book series, beginning with From Scratch, the queer citizens of the tiny Southern town of Sea Port find love and companionship. The first book is an M/M/F polyamorous romance in which Mary, the newest resident of Sea Port and owner of a bakery, falls for the chief of police and the fire chief, old friends who also fall for each other. This delightful triad features heavily in the second installment, Inheritance, an M/F romance starring the town librarian and a local contractor, and the third installment, Small Town Secrets, an utterly adorable F/F foodie romance between Mary's baking apprentice and the owner of the town coffee shop.
This series stands out for its representation of queer folks and people of color in small towns. It stars Black and Latinx queer characters enjoying all the quirks of small-town living. These are relatively fluffy books; there's some small town drama, but its mostly harmless stuff. A lot of the characters move to Sea Port from elsewhere to start over, and part of the joy of this series is watching them all find their place in the small but vibrant queer community.
My favorite book in the series, though, is probably the last one, Her Christmas Cookie, in which Mary and her two partners, Knox and Santos, take a holiday road trip to introduce one another to their families. It showcases the gorgeous diversity of queer families, which sometimes include bio family members and sometimes don't, and which are by no means limited to queer people. It's a lovely celebration of a book, full of the exuberance, silliness, and heart that I love about this series.

This is so good!!! We made as written and then with less sugar (1/2 cup granulated). Both were great but we preferred less sugar. Had with ice cream for dessert and with morning coffee. Amazing!
Thanks, Chrissy. I love the idea of shortbread for breakfast!
It doesn't say salted or unsalted butter – can anyone advise?
I have made "Scarborough Fair" shortbread – thyme, rosemary and a sage leaf on top of each slice – beautiful and delicious, especially in the fall when richer fair is welcomed.
HI! Have you asked your friend how to make this gluten free? I have tried and it overflows the pan every time. I'm using an all purpose gluten free mix and substituting it 1:1.
Hi Julie, she hasn't tried this yet. I'm wondering if using half almond flour and half all-purpose gf mix might work.
can dry rosemary be used instead of fresh, if in a pinch?
Yes, you could use dried rosemary but it will better with the fresh! You could even make this shortbread without any rosemary and it will be delicious!
Do you think this could be make with a mixer rather than a food processor? The one I own is very small, so I'd have to make the dough in two batches and put them together.
Yes Leigh, I think it would work fine with a mixer. Enjoy!


Word nerds: What makes your skin crawl?
Larry Ragan takes issue with misused language.
Sitting on a panel discussion with him, I was glad that question was not asked of me, for I'm not sure that on short notice I could have come up with anything better. But poor old hopefully, battered lo these many years by word commentators across the country, is a pitiable candidate for such sorry awards.
Surely we can do better. It's time we began to renew the attack on parameters, on expertise, on impact used as a verb, or input, used almost in any fashion.
On the plane home, I thought about what would be worthy candidates for a just man's ire on the current status of the language. I'm afraid my own candidates are equally unimaginative. Perhaps readers will be willing to add to the list.
Aggravates. All sensitive, humane, civilized human beings recognize that aggravates means to make something worse, as when I explain how my tight collar aggravates the boil on the back of my neck. Nobody uses the word in that sense anymore. Everybody prefers it to mean annoys. Too bad. It once was a good word.
Disinterest. At the same meeting, when PICA editors met in Honolulu, newsman Harrison Salisbury used disinterest to mean lack of interest. Hearing him commit this outrage spoiled my whole morning.


This Holiday Baking Music Playlist provides over 2 hours of music with 40+ holiday songs. Enough time to press play and get those Christmas cookies made and into the oven!
When I'm baking during the holiday season, I absolutely need to have Christmas music playing. I love to sing and swing around the kitchen while I'm mixing batters and doughs…why not? It's the merriest time of year and I embrace it with all I have! So I've put together a fun collection of songs, ranging from old favourites to some fantastic new ones (hello Ingrid Michaelson!!). Press play and let's get baking!
To make things easy for you I've created a playlist on Apple Music so you can download or stream while you bake! Enjoy!


The Gauteng MEC for Education, Mr Panyaza Lesufi, is deeply shocked and saddened by the death of a 19-year-old Grade 11 learner from Mondeor High School. The MEC today visited the said school following this morning's stabbing incident, whereby the deceased learner was accosted on his way to school.
It is encouraging that some community members submitted video footages which will assist the police investigation on what might have happened and who committed this heinous crime. Accordingly, police will follow-up on some information which seems to implicate some learners from a nearby school. We believe that leads provided to the police will assist them to crack this case swiftly so that perpetrators will be brought to book.
"It is saddening that instead of giving report cards I will be giving a death certificate to these parents. We take this time to send our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and the school community of the said learner, during this time of grief. No words are enough to express our sorrow at a loss of a child. We hope that the family will find comfort in the knowledge that we too share their loss", said MEC Panyaza Lesufi.
MEC Lesufi addressed learners and educators to convey his sincere condolences and assured them that the Psychosocial Team is currently at the school and has commenced with counselling and will continue to provide necessary support to the school community. Among others, MEC Lesufi appealed with learners not to opt for revenge but assist with necessary information that may be helpful to the police.
In the midst of the tragedy, the school continued with curriculum under the circumstance, educators played a significant role in managing to contain the situation.
"I am grateful for the leadership of the Principal and her staff members, for doing everything within their powers to contain the situation, because if it was at another school, probably learners would have left immediately in the morning", said MEC Panyaza Lesufi.

Emmy The Great: Sheffield Cathedral
Sheffield Cathedral of Emmy the Great's tour of churches and cathedrals in support of hew new album Virtue. Although cathedrals are not heralded as the trendiest location for a gig, Sheffield Cathedral made a perfect venue for Emmy the Great's acoustic based folk.
Support came from local singer Grace Petrie. Fusing politics and pop is hard to achieve without coming across as a ranting socialist however her songs are imbued with a sharp wit and intelligence that soon charms the audience. Songs such as 'Goodbye to Welfare' and 'Emily Davidson's Blues' are particular highlights which are sung with such passion that their message is one which strikes a chord with an audience who also seem dismayed with the actions of the coalition government. In her short set, Petrie demonstrates that she is a singer with something to say and we can only hope she gets the chance to be heard.
Most of Emmy the Great's set acts a showcase for new album, with a total of nine new songs being performed. However, all new material was greatly received by an enthusiastic audience. 'Dinosaur Sex' places Moss' restrained vocals alongside synthesizers and wailing electric guitars whilst 'A Woman, A Woman, A Woman, A Sleep' is joyous and defiant in its delivery.
Other new songs such as Iris and Paper Forest highlight the development in her sound. The decision to embrace electric guitars and synthesizers allow Emmy's delicate vocals to illuminate the stone walls of the Cathedral. In particular, Trellick Tower is pain-stakingly beautiful and highlights the ever-growing maturity in Moss' lyrics. Given that most of the new album was inspired by Moss' former fiancé renouncing atheism and joining the church, the new songs resonate powerfully within this setting.
We Almost Had A Baby and Easter Parade from début album First Love were also aired and received a great response from appreciative fans. A cover of Meat Puppets' Lake of Fire proved to be a pleasant surprise, with the song's lyrics about where 'bad folks go where they die' taking on a great significance within the Cathedral's holy walls. Moss seemed particularly fond of grunge and chose to cover The Pixies' Where is My Mind? to close the set, a choice which acted as a fitting end to an unusual yet enthralling gig.

A special product for the World Cup's most special moment – the brazuca Final Rio
by Jochen Raff | Staff 10.07.2014
Without a doubt, the FIFA World Cup is the world´s biggest sports event. Millions and millions of fans around the world just couldn´t wait for this ultimate happening to start with the kick-off game on June 12. But – once the World Cup is finally there – what is the one single event where all the excitement comes to a climax? Of course; the final! It's the pinnacle of the tournament, the two best teams in the world battle it out for a place in history. And no matter which teams play, an estimated one billion people worldwide will follow the game on TV, online or at public viewing events.
Safe to say that the final of the World Cup really is a special moment – one that deserves a special product. This is why we created a dedicated version of the brazuca, the Official Match Ball of the 2014 World Cup, for the final: the brazuca Final Rio.
Ok, for those of you who really have been following "the beautiful game" over the last years, you probably know that this idea isn´t totally new. As a matter of fact there have already been other dedicated final ball designs for previous World Cups, and also European Championships along with the UEFA Champions League. For the World Cup 2006 the teamgeist Berlin was the first specially designed final ball and we continued the story with the Jo'bulani in 2010.
A design full of emotion
Messi leading his team all way to the final.
Coming back to the World Cup 2014, from a technological and structural point of view, the brazuca Finale Rio is the exact same ball as the brazuca which has been played throughout the whole tournament, including the semi-finals. Ensuring the teams play with the same ball they got familiar with over the last couple of weeks and months.
What makes the brazuca Final Rio special is its design. It reflects the emotions that, at that point of the tournament, have reached an absolute peak – you literally see the emotions bursting out of the ball. All the dancing, celebrations and fan excitement we experienced during this World Cup are reflected… and not to forget: gold and green are the colors of the World Cup trophy that every player is so eager to lift up after the final.
I think that the design turned out really strong and I am confident that football fans around the world will love it as much as I do.
A peak from various angles
However, the brazuca Final Rio is not just part of the peak of this 4 week event – it also somehow symbolises the end of a three year development process that I have been heavily involved in. As the responsible product manager, working on the brazuca has been an extraordinary ride for me.
Not many people get the chance to work on THE most iconic product of a FIFA World Cup. I am still totally thrilled by the fact that I was part of such a great and dynamic team, consisting of designers, developers, engineers and many more, that brought this fantastic product to life.
It also makes me proud to see that the brazuca has received great feedback from players and fans alike, which has always been the prime goal for us here at adidas.
On Sunday, July 13, 2014, the brazuca Final Rio will premier when Argentina and Germany will battle it out as the two best teams in the world.
Throughout the development process I had some very unique "goose bump-moments" that I recall very well: meetings with some of the world´s greatest football players to get their feedback and input; the day we all sat down and said: "This is it. That's the final product."; getting the thumbs-up from people when we first presented the ball to a wider audience; and of course the first time the ball was played in an official match.
However, for sure there is one more even bigger goose bumps-moment set to come: this Sunday, July 13, 2014 when the brazuca Final Rio will be played for the first and also the last time ever. When an estimated two billion eyes turn to the world famous Estadio do Maracana to witness that special moment in time when again the two best teams in the world battle it out for a place in history.

Hallo Herr Raff ! Ja, ich bin auch der Meinung, dass der BRAZUCA nicht nur durch sein Design der bislang beste WM-Ball ist, der jemals erschaffen wurde. Auch die Konstruktion ist einfach großartig ! Insgesamt ein Meisterwerk. Beste Grüße ! René Sopp

Abdel- Ghaffar Shukr: Human Rights and Confronting Terrorism
Published on Wednesday, 05 November 2014 10:50
Moreover, there are also those who accuse the Council of ignoring some of the events in the country which can be included in the activities that threaten the stability of the society, such as Rabaa Al-Adaweya sit-in, despite the fact that the National Council for human Rights, had issued a comprehensive report on the resolution of the protest and cited the important facts about this protest which was an armed protest with the knowledge of its leadership, and it caused tension and violence in various regions of Cairo is, and stated that the number of dead people were much less than what some people propagated and cited their names.
Furthermore, the National Council for Human Rights always initiates to take the correct stance every time the Egyptians face important events, which supports every effort to protect the people and the preservation of the lives of citizens, but some people always condemn any discussion about human rights in light of the escalation of terrorism, ignoring the people's right to determine how to struggle against terrorism and at the same time protect the rights of the Egyptians .
The Council has produced a comprehensive vision in confrontation of terrorism in which terrorism is the biggest threat to the highest human rights which is the right to life and the right to safe living, and that terrorism is an act of aggression on society and the Egyptian people and aims to undermine the security and the collapse of the state. In this context, the Council demonstrates how to mobilize forces in a united front against terrorism, and to take effective measures to defeat it at the same time sets the rules to be followed so that these actions do not constitute a fundamental rights violation as it's the biggest guarantee for national unity in the face of terrorism.
Therefore, the National Council for Human Rights understands the reasons for the declaration of a state of emergency and curfew in Sinai, and the issuance of laws of referral to the military justice for cutting roads and encroaching on public facilities guarded by the armed forces, and stresses at the same time that these actions are subject to the conditions which necessitated does not extend longer than required by the current situation, and to be accompanied by a commitment to adequate legal safeguards which every citizen must be held accountable.
Maintaining a civil state has acquired a great importance in the light of these circumstances, in addition to civil commitment to the Constitution and democratic state. The security measures in the face of terrorism is necessary but such measures alone are not enough, but it is important to be accompanied by political, social and cultural action besieging the reasons for the escalation of terrorism , extremism , intolerance, poverty, unemployment and marginalization of groups in the community to respond to the temptations of recruitment material circumstances and cultural level.
The National Council for Human Rights calls for a comprehensive confrontation of terrorism through the following:
Completing road map to hold elections after the Parliament consensus on the election law.
Begin immediately the eliminate the environment leading to terrorism and the development of marginalized areas where marginalized citizens who suffer from poverty and unemployment are living.
Supporting civil society associations and syndical unions and human rights organizations and support to ensure the continuation of the ways and mechanisms of the free expression of opinion.
Accounting the people who attack the revolution of January 25 by taking the necessary legal procedures against them.
Confronting the hate speech and defamation of citizens in some of the media outlets which the Council had received numerous complaints about it. It is also important to confront the terror by the military and security measures, aimed at protecting civilians in areas where escalate the confrontation, and which require the evacuation of certain areas of the population, and so that this procedure will be temporary, and be accompanied by compensation for those citizens for damage resulting from this procedure, and the provision of appropriate reasons for living them, and that this is done in accordance with them, and to accelerate the development of the Sinai Peninsula and strengthen the relationship with the people of Egypt.

In previous post, we had defined how data is organized and flow. We understand that, data will be queried from MySQL server, then exposed through web-service for CMS and mobile app to use. Today we are going to define web-service tier, make sure every APIs are available for both end-users and administrator-users to use.
cert: directory contains needed certification, because we should have Android and iOS work with push notification, we have to store certificates for GCM and APN. Here they are.
db: this directory is not related to logic part, however, we create this directory to store MySQL database schema, which created by exporting from MySQL Workbench.
app.js: main entry for web-service tier, this is where our NodeJS app starts.
config.js: contains configurations and constants for other modules to use.
model.js: as mentioned in previous post, this is where we define all Sequelize ORMs.
package.json: of course, NodeJS module and dependencies declaration.
push.js: a specified module to use with push-notification for GCM and APN.
routes.js: all web-service controllers are in here, each API will have its own controller, which process login, query database if needed, and construct response for client.
start.sh: a script which involves ForeverJS to make our web-service tier run without worrying about crashes.
In scope of this post, we will pay attention only to app.js. All APIs will be listed here. Note that we will try to conform with RESTful, however we may create only a REST style.
First, we want all available contents to be retrieved by using GET.
Second, we want all deletable contents can be deleted by using DELETE.
Third, we want all resources which should be updated can be updated or inserted by using POST.
A special case should be image upload (for places, for user,…), this should be performed by using POST with multipart upload.
We also want to completely change our APIs through versioning. So we use prefix for all APIs like /api/v1. Note that we use /api path because the root path / should be used for CMS or app home page.
Users can use the app without logging in, so there will be public APIs, and protected APIs. While public APIs do not check for authentication, protected APIs will require needed authentication field, like Basic Authentication or Digest Authentication.
User can be normal user or administrator, so we should have special APIs for admin-access only. Of course CMS can use many common APIs with user, but all admin-related APIs will be prefixed as /api/v1/admin. Those APIs will need token from administrator account.
Authentication API should be a special case, which require username/password or some credentials and return access token for client.
Okay, now we have all needed constraints. We will try to define some routes in NodeJS using Express. Note that app is a Express instance, and routes is our above route.
So, here we have two distinct paths for authentication. CMS (which only administrators can use) will use different paths with normal user because we don't want our mobile app can directly access to admin area. By restricting by URL, mobile app will never receive admin token, which can lead to insecure design.
POST /api/v1/place: for creating a place, note that this will require user authentication, so we create a separate, reusable Express middleware called authenticationHandler which use request authentication header to get corresponding user. This middleware will reject request if user is invalid.
POST /api/v1/place/:id: for updating a specific place with id, note that this will not only require user authentication, but also require check if that user has permission to change the place.
DELETE /api/v1/place/:id: for deleting a specific place with id, similar with above case, we will need authenticationHandler as well as placeAuthenticationHandler to ensure that user is valid and has right access to change the place.
Finally, POST /api/v1/place/:id/image will allow user to upload image for specific place with id. We will need 3 middlewares: authenticationHandler for user checking, *placeAuthenticationHandler *for permission, and multipartHandler to process multipart data which we just upload. Then if request can pass through all 3 middlewares, we will have multipart data has already written to disk, and use the route uploadImageForPlace to store data path to database and return placeImage object to client.
And so on, all other APIs can be written in similar manner: get/create/update/delete review, voucher, product, etc. After defined all APIs, we can start to implement those logic later. But mobile apps and CMS front-end can take a look at endpoint right now for preparing services. In next post, we will take a look at AngularJS-based front end to know its structure as well as the right way to implement a AngularJS-based app.

Q: Install pandas for python 3 I have both Python 2.7.12 and 3.5 installed on my Ubuntu 16.04 system. I installed pandas using pip install pandas. When I import pandas in python 2 it works fine. But when I import pandas in python3 it throws an error saying:
ImportError: No module named 'pandas'

How do I install pandas for python3?

A: pandas install documents:
Python2 and Python3 uses different version of pandas.
For Python3 you can install it using apt install:
sudo apt-get install python3-pandas

In order to install it using pip, you should use pip3 for Python3:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo -H pip3 install pandas


The souls of those long dead are entering the universe at an alarming rate. Stealing the bodies of the living, they are grouping together into powerful consortiums led by leaders from history. An increasingly desperate Confederation Navy is struggling to stem the tide as the race for the universe's most powerful weapon begins. But if the dead can return to life, who will be the ultimate victors?

Theft can affect your business' bottom line in a big way. From insurance premiums to opportunity costs, regardless of the way that you lose inventory or cash, it hurts. At Edge CCTV in Marietta, we deal with businesses that have been robbed or experienced loss of money and products. Here are some ways that your business is vulnerable to theft and what to do about it.
Oftentimes, theft is a crime of opportunity. Shoplifters come into your place of business and think no one is watching. They take something because they believe they can get away with it. For many children, shoplifting is a rite of passage and it's an impulsive action. For others, it's an easy way to get something they want or need. By simply setting up cameras and posting notices about them, you can deter shoplifters.
Some criminals are more determined. They may run a scam at the cash register designed to confuse your cashier, or they may come in masked and armed. A good camera system can help police catch the culprits and keep your people safer.
Sometimes, your employees are to be blamed for theft and loss. While you do your best to hire good people, even relatives may be tempted to take items without paying. Because your employees have access to all of your inventory and you have implicit trust in them, they are in the best position to steal from you. When it is something like soda or candy, you may not even notice the loss or just consider it to be shoplifters. However, these types of items can actually be a loss of cash. Some employees will take the money for the transaction and put it in their pocket while the customer believes he or she has paid for the item. A well-placed surveillance camera system in Marietta can help you feel more confident in your people and spot when one has decided to steal from the company.

Safe (EP)
Al-Safa and Al-Marwah
Climate categories in viticulture
A safe (also called a strongbox or coffer) is a secure lockable box used for securing valuable objects against theft and/or damage from fire. A safe is usually a hollow cuboid or cylinder, with one face being removable or hinged to form a door. The body and door may be cast from metal (such as steel) or formed out of plastic through blow molding. Bank teller safes typically are secured to the counter, have a slit opening for dropping valuables into the safe without opening it, and a time-delay combination lock to foil robbers. One significant distinction between types of safes is whether the safe is secured to a wall or structure or if it can be moved around. A less secure version (only suitable for petty cash) is usually called a cash-box.
In 1835, English inventors Charles Chubb and Jeremiah Chubb in Wolverhampton, England, received a patent for a burglar-resisting safe and began a production of safes. The Chubb brothers had produced locks since 1818. Chubb Locks was an independent company until 2000 when it was sold to Assa Abloy.

Al-Safa and Al-Marwah (Safa and Marwah) (Arabic: الصفا Aṣ-Ṣafā, المروة al-Marwah) are two small hills now located in the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia between which Muslims travel back and forth seven times during the ritual pilgrimages of Hajj and Umrah.
In Islamic tradition, Ibrahim (Abraham) was commanded by God to leave his wife Hajar (Hagar) and their infant son alone in the desert between Al-Safa and Al-Marwah with only basic provisions to test their faith. When their provisions were exhausted, Hagar went in search of help or water. To make her search easier and faster, she went alone, leaving the infant Ismail (Ishmael) on the ground.
She first climbed the nearest hill, Al-Safa, to look over the surrounding area. When she saw nothing, she then went to the other hill, Al-Marwah, to look around. While Hagar was on either hillside, she was able to see Ismael and know he was safe. However, when she was in the valley between the hills she was unable to see her son, and would thus run whilst in the valley and walk at a normal pace when on the hillsides. Hagar travelled back and forth between the hills seven times in the scorching heat before returning to her son. When she arrived, she found that a spring had broken forth from where the Angel Jibreel hit the ground with his wing. This spring is now known as the Zamzam Well, and was revealed by the angel of God as both sustenance and a reward for Hagar's patience.

In viticulture, the climates of wine regions are categorised based on the overall characteristics of the area's climate during the growing season. While variations in macroclimate are acknowledged, the climates of most wine regions are categorised (somewhat loosely based on the Köppen climate classification) as being part of a Mediterranean (for example Tuscany), maritime (ex: Bordeaux) or continental climate (ex: Columbia Valley). The majority of the world's premium wine production takes place in one of these three climate categories in locations between the 30th parallel and 50th parallel in both the northern and southern hemisphere. While viticulture does exist in some tropical climates, most notably Brazil, the amount of quality wine production in those areas is so small that the climate effect has not been as extensively studied as other categories.
Influence of climate on viticulture
Beyond establishing whether or not viticulture can even be sustained in an area, the climatic influences of a particular area goes a long way in influencing the type of grape varieties grown in a region and the type of viticultural practices that will be used. The presence of adequate sun, heat and water are all vital to the healthy growth and development of grapevines during the growing season. Additionally, continuing research has shed more light on the influence of dormancy that occurs after harvest when the grapevine essentially shuts down and reserves its energy for the beginning of the next year's growing cycle.

Because rectilinear motion takes place in one straight line, examples include a train following a straight set of tracks, a baseball thrown in a gravity-free vacuum or a penny that someone drops from the top of a tall building, heading straight to the ground. Rectilinear motion is the opposite of curvilinear motion, which involves movement along a fixed curve.
When studying physics, the most common examples of rectilinear motion use falling objects. Because of the effects of gravity and friction on anything moving in a horizontal direction, having those objects continue to move in a perfectly straight line is extremely unlikely. Even in the case of the train, having a perfectly straight track for the complete duration of the trip is not a realistic scenario. However, tracking a falling object involves a straight line, because gravity forces that object to take the straightest path to the ground.
Other physics problems examine the effects of forces such as gravity on an object's rectilinear motion. One common example involves shooting a projectile up into the air. Whether one shoots the object straight up, perpendicular to the ground, or at an angle, gravity almost immediately begins to take effect, slowing the projectile down and, in the case of the angle, turning the rectilinear path into a curvilinear one.

Energy innovators to get €10-billion in EU funding
The European Commission has laid down its money and taken the chance on climate change technologies in order to secure the coming energy transition by setting aside €10-billion for the new Innovation Fund.
The Commission first laid out its plan for cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 last November with the heads of the national governments set to make their decisions on which direction to take later this year.
In the case that member states choose to follow the Commission's proposals, which include Europe absorbing any and all emissions that it produces, industries that use a lot of energy will be forced to make massive changes in order to adapt and survive.
Coal carbon capture technology
The money for the Innovation Fund, given the go-ahead last week at the European Commission's Berlaymont HQ, will come from the sale of vast numbers of carbon allowances from the EU Emissions Trading Scheme and will be used for the development, testing and marketing of low-carbon technologies.
EU Commissioner for Energy and Climate Action Miguel Arias Cañete said that the strategy of creating a climate-neutral economy "will need deployment of clean innovative technologies on an industrial scale".
"This is why we are investing in bringing to the market highly innovative technologies in energy-intensive industries, in carbon capture, storage and use, in the renewable energy sector and in energy storage," he added.
The Innovation Fund will also soak up any money left over from the NER 300 programme following the conclusion by EU auditors that the programme had not succeeded in helping any projects reach an industrial level due to a lack of coordination and long-term planning.
Nearly half a billion of the €4-billion set aside for NER300 and the European Energy Programme for Recovery remains unspent.
Environmental groups have said that a lack of infrastructure and strategic planning remains the biggest challenges for breakthrough economies, despite the additional funding and take-up.
Concern has been voiced by energy-intensive industries such as steel and aluminium that if emission cuts are pushed too hard by EU regulators, it could lead to 'carbon leakage', a situation where companies move their production to countries with less strict regulations.
The Innovation Fund, as well as other financial incentives within the EU, are offered in the hope that industries will choose to adapt rather than move.
The Commission's strategy will have its first litmus test this September at a UN summit in New York. EU leaders are hoping to have devised a clear emissions roadmap to 2050 to show other major players the direction that the continent is heading in.

Q: Using mercurial to manage linux kernel, tags, and hg id Anybody using mercurial to manage a linux kernel?  This is a bit long, but I'm not sure if there's an answer to this.  I wanted to give some examples for help
Here's what I'm seeing:
Within the linux kernel, there's a command used when building called scripts/setlocalversion.  Inside this script, it sets the kernel version based on the repository information.  Currently, it understands git, mercurial, and svn repo's.
For git, it creates the tag with this code:
if head=`git rev-parse --verify --short HEAD 2>/dev/null`; then

    # If we are at a tagged commit (like "v2.6.30-rc6"), we ignore it,
    # because this version is defined in the top level Makefile.
    if [ -z "`git describe --exact-match 2>/dev/null`" ]; then

        # If we are past a tagged commit (like "v2.6.30-rc5-302-g72357d5"),
        # we pretty print it.
        if atag="`git describe 2>/dev/null`"; then
            echo "$atag" | awk -F- '{printf("-%05d-%s", $(NF-1),$(NF))}'
.....

So, here's an example I did to understand how this works:
[1536][mcrowe:test]$ git tag -a -m"Creating a tag" KernelTest
[1537][mcrowe:test]$ git rev-parse --verify --short HEAD
d024e76
[1537][mcrowe:test]$ git describe --exact-match
KernelTest
[1537][mcrowe:test]$ git describe
KernelTest

So, in this example, the local version would be set to "KernelTest" when the kernel builds.
In mercurial, however, the code to get the local version is this:
if hgid=`hg id 2>/dev/null`; then
    tag=`printf '%s' "$hgid" | cut -d' ' -f2`

    # Do we have an untagged version?
    if [ -z "$tag" -o "$tag" = tip ]; then
        id=`printf '%s' "$hgid" | sed 's/[+ ].*//'`
        printf '%s%s' -hg "$id"
    fi
....

My expectation was that I could tag a release, and have that tag be what this script uses, as happens in git.  However, it appears that "hg id" never prints out the tag like this script expects:
[1546][mcrowe:test2]$ hg tag -m"Creating a tag" KernelTest -r tip
[1548][mcrowe:test2]$ hg id
3ccda5e738ae+ tip
[1548][mcrowe:test2]$ hg tags
tip                              115:3ccda5e738ae
KernelTest                       114:be25df80ce76

So that act of tagging changes the revision so hg id will never show what the tag is.
Core Question:  AFAIK, this would never work for the linux kernel.  The question is how should this be implemented in the kernel tree to allow hg tag to perform like git tag?

A: Try doing:
hg log -r . --template '{latesttag}'

I think that does what you want.
There's also {latesttagdistance} which can let you know you're N commits past a tag for handy version string.

Q: Length of Character as a valid measure for source code say lenchar be the number of characters in source code, is it a valid measure for the length of source code?

A: No, it's not.  People could "game" your metric without leading to quality.
If you're metric is "lots of characters == good" then you end up with very large source files & class that are maintenance nightmares, often with very poor names (once again, just to game your metric) or an obscene amount of comments:
var excessivelyLongVariableNameSoWhenBonusTimeComesAroundAustinIsRewardedMightily = 0;

/*
This for loop loops over the entire collection (as implemented in IEnumerable
and is fully explained later).  My goal here was a O(1) implementation but
since that's highly unlikely (possible mathematically impossible but I'm no
PhD so I'll just leave it to them.

Oh yeah, the motive -- I'm trying sum the integers between 0 and 9 (inclusive)
*/
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
     sum += i;

Conversely, when "lots of characters == bad" then you end up with very poor names:
var x = 1

Executable lines would be better but even then you're open to "gaming."  But even then, one could game it by pumping in a bunch of no-op lines.
You're most likely better off with metrics like...

*

*Does it work?

*Does it work quickly enough for our needs?

*Is it tested?

*etc.
