5 Reasons to Hire a Professional Moving Company
As spring approaches so does the moving season. Whether you're signing a new lease or paying a down payment, moving is exciting … but draining.
Packing up all of your stuff into boxes, trying to make sure everything is wrapped correctly, organizing to make it easier to unpack – I know what it takes to move. But I've only ever moved one person. I can't imagine moving an entire family of people.
Are you on the fence about whether or not to hire a professional moving company? Here are five reasons why you should absolutely hire the professionals.
1) Efficiency
You're going to get tired. You're going to start throwing things around, getting things all unorganized. Then you're going to be mad at yourself when you go to unpack all of your belongings. If you hire the professionals, they practically never get tired. If you want people to come in and efficiently move you from one place to another, you need to hire the professionals.
What might take you weeks to pack would only take the pros a few days. You'll use way more boxes than you need to. It'll be totally inefficient for you to spend your time doing something you could simply hire someone to do for you. Sure, it's a little bit of money — you might have to penny pinch, but holy goodness it's worth it.
2) Insurance
You break it, you buy it. That's the motto the professional movers will live by. They'll be extra careful. They won't sling your belongings around all over the place.
When you break something, you'll just get mad at yourself. You won't exactly be able to "buy out yourself." The peace of mind that will come from knowing your things are being taken care of is worth the penny pinching this might require.
3) Equipment
Let's be honest about this. You're going to lug these boxes up and down stairs and all over the place. Do you even own the equipment you need to do this on your own? The five most important pieces of equipment that you need in order to execute the perfect move are:
•A dolly
•Moving blankets/pads
•Ropes and straps
•Packing tape and scissors
•Stair roller
If you don't own these five things, don't even think about moving by yourself. Hire someone who actually knows what they're doing. It's going to save you quite the headache.
4) Family & friends
Wanna keep 'em? Hire someone else to do your moving. Your family and friends won't want anything to do with you. Remember the episode from "Friends?" Yeah, no one wants to be Ross. No one wants you to be Ross. Don't do it. They'll all end up distancing themselves from you and it may ruin your relationship with them. Just hire someone who knows what they're doing and move on with your life.
5) No hassle
Think of all the things you could be doing on Move-In day, besides actually moving stuff. You'll have plenty of other things to be doing the day of the move. You'll be stressed out and wanting control. Having a professional moving company there to literally take orders from you is what's going to make you feel best. Trust me, spend the money to hire a professional team. It'll be so worth it once your move is over.

This Club system has helped my employees son (age 7) so much. He was falling behind in school, had no friends to play with. With the clubs programs, staff and positive environment, Little John is doing very well in school bringing up his grades to where they should be and has given him the confidence to talk to others and make friends easily. The club has helped with food for both holidays, made sure John had presents under the tree. These people do a lot of great work with very little funding.

GARDEN OF THE WEEK: Top garden for the week of August 3
Ann Martin of Grand Forks swears by Miracle-Gro in her garden; she said she uses it once a month.
One of the other things she's found helpful in getting her garden to flourish is a hose attachment that works as a low-pressure sprinkler, misting the nearby plants to keep them colorful in dry times.
In her 20-plus years of gardening, Martin said she enjoys selecting flowers from the wide variety available. Hydrangeas, lilies, dahlias, superbells, hostas and gazanias are among the numerous flowers she has in her flowerbeds, pots and hanging baskets this year.
"(She) spends a lot of time with her flowers," Martin's husband, Neal, said.
How does your garden grow?

I just read about a program for post-Bar Mitzvah boys that sounds very interesting. The organization that has created it is the same one that sponsors "Rosh Hodesh, It's a Girl Thing!" I hope people will think about bringing it to the New York area. There is certainly a very large potential pool of participants.

Rob Zombie Halts 'The Blob' Remake to Direct 'Lords of Salem'
by Ethan Anderton
September 22, 2010
It's been over a year since we heard the somewhat troubling news that musician-turned-filmmaker Rob Zombie had his eyes set on remaking The Blob. Well, today there's simultaneously good news for both those who hate and love the dark, twisted films from Zombie's disturbed mind. Deadline reports the director has shelved his remake of the 1950's horror classic in favor of directing The Lords of Salem, the newest project from the Haunted Films banner (run by the creators of Paranormal Activity) which was also behind James Wan's TIFF featured film Insidious. Details on the supernatural thriller can be found below.
The story follows residents in contemporary Salem, Massachusetts as they receive a demonic visit from a 300-year old coven of witches. Zombie is writing the script himself and he says there wasone simple reason that he became far more interested in The Lords of Salem. Zombie remarked, "What excited me most was Jason [Blum from Haunted Films] saying, you can have total control over the script, casting and final cut. I said 'I'm in.'" So those of you who loved the hell out of House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects should be pretty pleased. Though Zombie had said he had complete creative freedom for The Blob remake, he explains why he was no longer interested in the project:
"I wanted to break away from anything related to preexisting material. The remake train is getting pretty tired now and when I made Halloween, everybody complained, either that it was too much like the original or too different. I like that people either love or hate what I do because it's better than being in the middle, which means forgettable. But when you do an original premise, they take it on face value and after three years of not being able to win on Halloween, I just couldn't go through that again."
Well at least he was smart enough to recognize how unnecessary the remake would have been. Honestly, as I've pointed out, since I'm not a fan of the horror genre in general, my criticism of Zombie's work seems unnecessary. But I know that hardcore horror fans really love his twisted take on the supernatural and suspenseful. I can't say that I'm excited for a new project from Zombie, but I'm at least relieved that it's an original one instead of a remake of a classic film like The Blob. Zombie will work on the script while he's on his next tour and hopefully shoot sometime next year. What do you guys think?

Bone crushin' hugs n' harmony
The biggest lesson to take away from the Affordable Art Fair-- price your work at affordable prices (*like, duh*) and make sure they're really cute. Anything outside of that realm didn't fare too well. So whether it was the discount robots of R. Nick Kuszyk of Brooklyn's McCaig-Welles Gallery, ($30-$300 range) or the previously mutliple mentioned squirrels of Macha Suzuki of L.A.'s Sam Lee Gallery ($600 framed, $500 unframed), the game was anted up to new levels of almost queasingly cute.
Take one Ross Bonfanti, pictured at left, displayed by AWOL Gallery in Toronto. Stripping the stuffed animals of their stuffing, he disembowels them with a vengeance, then fills them with wet concrete, leaving them to harden. Suddenly, they have been HULKED. Yes, that's a word-- HULKED. Highly NOT recommended for the nursery, these "toys" could pack a whollop if used for purposes of evil. I also wouldn't recommend them for the nightmare-challenged. Attack of the Killer Stuffed Animals could certainly be a Troma pictures new release at any moment.
Either way, I love how the pieces of felt are still left behind on the violated bodies, clinging for dear life, as well as the sweet little eyes and noses still intact. It's an interesting take on transformation, as well as a nice look into how what we view as "innocent" or "safe" might really be something quite different underneath its exterior. And at only $500 a pop, these things were flying off their pedestals.
Definitely one to watch.

Taking diabetic insulin pump management to the next level
Worldwide, hundreds of thousands of people with diabetes have made the move to insulin pump therapy
. However, the unique benefits of pump therapy continue to elude many. Insulin pumps are like most technological devices: only as effective as the user. And given the state of healthcare today, few people are provided with the tools and resources to use their pumps in a truly effective manner. Need proof? When was the last time you were taken through a full battery of fasting tests to fine-tune your basal settings? Have you been taught strategies for preventing and resolving pump-related mishaps? Do you know the many ways to apply the various advanced pump features?
Using a pump means so much more than just pressing buttons. Since 1995, Integrated Diabetes Services has coached more than 2000 pump users on optimal use of their devices.
We tailor our services to each person's unique needs, such as:
- Fine-tuning of:
- Basal rates
- Insulin:carb ratios
- Correction doses
- Use & application of:
- Temporary basal rates
- Extended bolus features
- Alternate basal patterns
- Other advanced features
- Device downloading & analysis
- Choosing the right infusion set
- Infusion set use & rotation
- Pump use with sports/fitness activities
Our Service Process
All consultations are available in-person or remotely via phone and the internet (including video conferencing). Prior to your initial consultation, we'll send you a self-care assessment packet to complete and return to us. That way, we won't waste your valuable time with questions and topics that are of no interest to you. The assessment will be reviewed by your personal diabetes coach who will begin formulating a teaching/management plan in preparation for your scheduled consultation.
During the initial consultation, we will discuss your personal goals, review your current diabetes management plan and offer suggestions for improving your control. We will formulate a system for keeping and communicating records, provide essential education, and outline a plan for helping you achieve your long-term goals.
After the initial consultation, follow-up options include individual consultations scheduled at your convenience, or an insulin pump optimization service that includes fine-tuning of your pump settings and a series of scheduled consultations to provide advanced pump management education.
Please call our office for information regarding service fees, to ask any questions or schedule an appointment. We can't wait to work with you! (877) 735-3648

10 thoughts on "When bar charts attack"
As you said – t'is easy to play well when your opponents have a 2 goal cushion. Thus the frequency of 1-2 (i.e. home side pushes hard and nicks a goal) and 1-3 (i.e. the home side pushes just a little too hard for an equaliser and the away side beats them on the counter).
Still think we played impressively well yesterday though.
Trend and outcome were unremarkable, as implied by the bar-chart and ImperialWhite's comment.
Exclusively notable were the extent, duration and relentless of the turnaround – a close runner-up to which I struggle to recall from zillions of Fulham matches seen. I struggle to recall most things of course.
I guess that graph refutes every commentator's go to line when a team scores a second goal '2-0 is the most dangerous scoreline' – It quite obviously is not.
Well, on the other hand, the team up 2-0 seems to concede at least one goal much more often than they maintain the 2-0 lead.
P.S. Where did you get that data? I'm assuming you didn't compile it yourself (kudos if you did!).
2-0 might not be a dangerous scoreline, but I bet 0-1 at HT *IS* a dangerous scoreline (am thinking along the same BetFair lines as you!).

"Blasphemous...highly offensive"...and very funny!
Herodotus Shapiro has had an unbelievably bad week. His wife left him. The IRS is after him for thousands of dollars. His home/bookstore burned down. On his way to take refuge at his brother's place, he got a speeding ticket. And now his car has broken down in the middle of the desert in front of a large mansion. What more can go wrong?
But now his world takes a turn for the weird. The mansion has a snowman on the front lawn - in the desert, in July. The house, which is bigger on the inside than on the outside, is owned by Polly, the most preternaturally beautiful young woman he's ever met. Polly is an acrobat, a gourmet chef, a psychologist, an international financial consultant, a physicist, and a woman of who-knows how many other incredible talents. She has an unbelievable library, an art collection of all the world's great masterpieces, and a print of a previously unknown Marx Brothers film. Her toilet paper is actually silk. And she seems to have some mysterious plans for him....

Interesting take on divinity.
I do like the way Goldin laid out who God is. It is definitely the highlight of the story.
Polly. Not much to be said without giving the story away but definitely interesting.
Joe definitely brought the story to life.
The story was interesting and it would have been better in my opinion if God did not have the urges like us human. I am not saying it's wrong but the way God was described in the book it would seem God would not need to have human urges. It would have been better if Fifi was the naughty mistress that took care of all desires.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

If you are considering a move to New Zealand there are a range of support services that are designed to make the process as simple as possible.
New Zealand Immigration Service
If you are an Australian citizen, you are automatically eligible to enter New Zealand. If you are from anywhere else you will need a visa. Many countries do have reciprocal agreements, so check this out with Immigration NZ, which provides information on what visas are available and which one(s) you may be eligible to apply for.

Immigration Advisors
You may like to employ the services of an immigration advisor to assist with your visa application.

The Authority's website lists those who have achieved accreditation and their contact details. Lawyers are exempt from this legislation and there are a number of law firms and advisors in Taranaki who can assist you with your visa application.
To find an accredited advisor visit www.iaa.govt.nz or contact

There are a number of items that are prohibited and you must declare any animal products, shells, plants and plant products including seeds and nuts, camping / hiking / riding and fishing gear and footwear.
Settlement Support
Settling into a foreign country is one of the most important and often difficult processes for newcomers. Whether you feel settled often determines whether you will or won't stay in a new place or job. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment recognises this and has contracted the Citizen's Advice Bureau to provide Settlement Information Services for new migrants and refugees. There is also a service called Migrant Connections Taranaki which assists migrants settle into the Taranaki region and helps manage Taranaki's multi-ethnic council. For more information visit.

There are also Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses available at WITT, the region's polytechnic institute.
One thing which newcomers will want to do is meet new people and develop and build new support networks. Some to consider include the Taranaki Young Professionals, the New Parents to New Plymouth, and the weekly Migrant Women's Meet held at Puke Ariki library
or contact Venture Taranaki at email@example.com.

Footage Caught This Guy Passing in the mirror without showing a reflection
There are many people who do not believe in the existence of ghosts because of the lack of physical evidence like pictures and videos. But with this recent viral footage, many non-believers were scared out of their wits!
But what are ghosts actually? Do they really exist? Have you seen one for yourself? This video immediately went viral not because of a ghost, but a possible 'vampire'. Vampires are entities believed to be immortal by sucking blood out of humans. Though vampires are often seen in movies, the very first 'vampire' is believed to be Vlad the impaler, who impaled his enemies' heads. In movies, vampires are specifically scared of sunlight, and apparently has no reflection in the mirror.
If you look closely at the following video, a man in black can be seen passing by a mirror—but he doesn't have a reflection! Many netizens were quick to criticize the video, saying it was edited since the woman and man in the reflection were specifically 'not moving' while the man in black passed by. What do you think?
Could this be real—or another hoax to fool us all?

MyEssayWriting.com - Essay Writing Services.
Starred Review. Orloff (Second Sight) offers a superbly written series of psychological strategies for maximizing positive emotions and minimizing toxic ones. A practicing psychiatrist, the author straddles the worlds of mainstream medicine and alternative healing; she regards emotions as a training ground for the soul, and views every victory over fear, anxiety, and resentment as a way to develop your spiritual muscles. As the self is the foundation for emotional freedom, the author discusses how readers can find their emotional type—intellectual, empathic, rock or gusher—and suggests how to find balance. Her tips include avoiding emotional vampires or consulting dreams, which she divides into three types: psychological (where fears and neuroses express themselves), predictive and guidance. The second half of the book tackles the most difficult life challenges: depression, loneliness, anxiety, frustration, rejection, grief, envy and bitterness. Orloff addresses each fully and frankly, using anecdotes from her own life and practice—the death of her mother, her own crippling envy. This insightful and positive book will assist anyone who is suffering in mapping a path out of pain. (Mar.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Jason Trawick Proposed To Britney Spears With Custom-made Neil Lane Ring
December 19, 2011 by staff
Jason Trawick Proposed To Britney Spears With Custom-made Neil Lane Ring, What do you tell the jewelry designer about Britney Spears when you are creating a custom-made engagement ring? In her new fiance's case, you don't talk about her being a "pop princess," but rather his "everyday princess."
Brit's beau Jason Trawick went to celebrity jeweler Neil Lane to come up with the perfect ring for his bride-to-be. "Jason is a romantic," Lane tells PEOPLE. "When I asked him to tell me about Britney and what the ring would represent to them so I could find inspiration, his response was always the same – she is his princess!"
After their conversation, Lane was hard at work coming up with the delicate design, which he created from scratch, of a tiara-motif sparkler with a round and perfect white diamond in a handmade platinum setting that "looks like a mini crown." The jewelry designer added 90 small round diamonds around the eternity band. "Jason didn't want an over-the-top ring with a giant stone," adds Lane.
Lane and Trawick exchanged phone calls, text messages and emails over the past month about the ring, getting it fit for his "princess." Once Spears and her main squeeze returned home from her Femme Fatale tour, Trawick stopped into Lane's Los Angeles store to pick up the ring, which happened less than a week before he popped the question.

Traveling with a Laptop
These days, it seems like everyone travels with a laptop. We've all become so addicted to our computers that it's hard to imagine parting ways, even for a few weeks.
The big question with anything you pack is whether or not it's going to truly enhance your trip or just weigh you down. Here are some things to consider:
How addicted are you to your laptop?
The first thing you should think about is how much and for what you use your computer at home. Do you keep write a daily journal? Do you play games? Do you research stuff? Do you make vacation bookings? These are all things that you'll find valuable on the road.
My favorite things to do on my laptop when I'm traveling are:
1. Keeping a detailed journal
I've been addicted to my computer for so long, I don't even know how to write by hand anymore. Okay, so that's not quite true, but sometimes it feels like it. My first trip with a laptop (a 4-month backpacking jaunt through Europe) was a lot of fun, and these days I particularly cherish the memories I can relive through the great trip journal I kept.
On another trip (2 months through New Zealand), I decided to go without my laptop. I figured I could write just as much by hand as I would on my computer. Wrong. That journal quickly devolved into a boring list of what I did that day because handwriting just didn't get my journaling juices flowing they way a keyboard does.
2. Transferring and organizing photos
I'm kind of an organization junkie, so the thought of importing, labeling, and categorizing hundreds of digital pictures at the end of a trip makes me shudder. Plus, I love being able to download and enjoy my pictures in their full glory at the end of the day. Then I can add labels and notes -- what was that mountain? who was that person I met at the hostel? -- to make sure I don't forget what I photographed.
3. Entertainment
I download a few movies or games to my laptop before I go, and I've got all the entertainment I need on those long airport layovers or quiet evenings in. This is especially useful for beating boredom when you're traveling solo.
4. Information
If I do some work ahead of time, I can replace a whole bag full of travel guides and other assorted trip materials (flight information, hotel details, passport copy, calling card numbers, etc.) by downloading them to my laptop. Lonely Planet even has a cool service now where you can download individual chapters of their travel guides in PDF format.
Where are you traveling?
Your destination is key factor in deciding whether or not you should take your laptop. The two issues here are wi-fi availability and safety.
1. Wi-Fi Availability
If you're in a decent size town in a westernized country, chances are good that you'll find free wi-fi at your hotel or hostel. There will definitely be loads of coffee shops where you can go online for the cost of your beverage, or just a few dollars more.
In smaller towns or less developed countries, wi-fi is a bit of a challenge. Case in point: I visited a small village in Austria last winter and, after much detective work, found the single cafe that had wi-fi. I was the first person to ever use it so, not only did they have to hunt down the manager to set it up, but they also charged a fortune. But then again, the one and only "internet cafe" in town was two computers in the corner of a smoke-filled video game arcade and cost a fortune too.
2. Safety
I've taken my laptop to Europe lots of time and don't really lose any sleep over its safety. But if you're traveling somewhere that has a higher crime rate or a less dependable infrastructure, I'd think twice about taking my computer.
Do you want to carry a laptop?
I'm not just talking about physically carrying your computer around, but also about the mental weight you'll carry in worrying about your computer's safety.
1. Worry
Your laptop is probably the most valuable thing you'll be taking with you and you'll inevitably worry about its safety. I've heard more than a few stories of people's laptops getting stolen even if they were locked up or cleverly hidden, and sometimes, it's just not worth the hassle.
2. Weight
In addition to the metaphorical weight on your shoulders, your laptop will literally weigh you down. I have a Mac, which is pretty light as far as laptops go, but even those few pounds will make themselves felt. Plus, you're not just carrying the laptop. There's the power cable, assorted device connection cables, maybe an external hard drive, probably some sort of laptop bag -- and don't forget the international power adapters! That's a lot of stuff that some traveler's just don't want to deal with.
Some other questions you may want to consider:
How long are you traveling? If your trip is longer, you may need to be more connected or you may want to travel extra light.
What is the purpose of your trip? You may really want to get away from the stresses of home, and bringing a laptop means "work" to some people.
If you do decide to bring your laptop, make sure you back up your essential files before you go. Also, consider finding a travel insurance policy that covers you if your computer gets stolen. Happy travels!

SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake County Mayor-elect Ben McAdams' inauguration will be part service project.
Attendees will be asked to bring donations of nonperishable food to the event, which is by invitation only. That celebration will kick off a week-long food drive at the Salt Lake County Complex. All donations will benefit the Utah Food Bank.
McAdams is scheduled to release full details of next week's inauguration day plans at a press conference Thursday.
McAdams will be sworn in Monday along with incumbent Salt Lake County Councilmen Max Burdick, Jim Bradley and Michael Jensen along with Sam Granato, who was elected to his first term on the council in November.
The Utah Food Bank welcomes another opportunity to fill its shelves and to highlight the ongoing needs of the community, said chief marketing officer Ginette Bott.
Statewide, 1 in 6 Utahns is unsure where they will obtain their next meal, according to the Utah Food Bank statistics.
"It's the awareness factor and the educational opportunity we really appreciate," Bott said.
The food bank attempts to stagger its large-scale donation events, such as the Boy Scout drive in March and the Letter Carriers' drive in May, to ensure a stable supply of food.
The leanest months tend to be in June, July and August. The need for food is particularly acute because children who rely on reduced-price or free school nutrition programs are home for the summer, Bott said.1 comment on this story
Utahns tend to contribute generously to the food bank during the holidays. To better serve its clients, the Utah Food Bank needs that "spirit of giving" to be spread throughout the year, she said.
The numbers of people seeking assistance from the statewide network of food pantries and agencies served by the Utah Food Bank have remained stable from a year ago, but people are seeking assistance longer than in previous years, Bott said.
The food bank distributes food statewide to some 129 emergency food pantries, agencies, churches, senior centers and after-school programs.
The Utah Food Bank distributed more than 28 million meals across the state during fiscal year 2012.

Roots rocker Josh Damigo doesn't have to worry about the sophomore slump. Damigo's second effort, Hope, is an hour-long outburst of unfettered human emotion, showcasing a heavy heart practically exploding with a wide spectrum of feelings, ranging from love, lust, confusion, resignation, pride, fear, and humor. Damigo's humble demeanor and youthful energy are infectious, easily cajoling the listener to come along for the ride. His no-frills fearlessness is admirable as he confidently conveys the inherent frailties of a man lost in the swirl of infatuation and vulnerability. Damigo's strong vocal skills are the perfect counterpart to his rough and ready backing band. This combination brings an ironic heft to his lyrical expression and the juxtaposition works like a charm. Spinning mystical observations about affairs of the heart in a tone wizened beyond his years, Damigo's rugged voice portrays an everyman persona akin to early Springsteen.
The lyrics to "Portland" white-knuckle the heartstrings from its opening strains, while the song's string arrangement lifts this beautiful ballad gently into the stratosphere. Its elements spare and subtle, the tune is a gem on every level from performance to production. The album also features the torchy, gospel-tinged "I Can't Be Your Man," an excellent duet with Nina Storey on "So Far So Good," and a cover of Jim Croce's "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song." Croce's son A.J. also appears on the record, contributing some tasteful bluesy piano work to "Slow Goin'." With the exception of one tune that delves into novelty song territory, this is pretty straightforward stuff. And, frankly, even that tune has a catchy chorus that got stuck in my head after one listen. Which means of course that regardless of my criticism, the songwriter has done his job.
While sometimes it seems like the marketing machinery of the music industry frantically slaps hyphenated genre labels on many new artists like a blind man playing Whack-a-Mole, it's guys like Josh Damigo that continue to prove that the best gimmick is no gimmick. Confidently shuffling between rock, pop, country, blues, and acoustic ballads without the slightest hint of stumbling, a young artist firing on all pistons like this quite simply is a rarity. Damigo's previous recordings have earned him numerous accolades from the local press and his profile continues to grow on a national level with a busy touring schedule that takes him all over the country. With the release of his nearly flawless Hope, the only sensible advice one might offer Damigo would be the suggestion that maybe it's time to clear a little more space on the mantle for the additional awards soon to come. There's no new ground broken on Hope, but Damigo has a strong gift for the songwriting craft. In a field where it's often said that three chords and the truth are the only tools you need, the youthful Damigo shows early signs of natural mastery.

text: The very centre of France's hexagonal borders is occupied by Limousin, the least populated part of France. With its green and hilly bocage scenery, its picturesque villages and castles, it could be seen as the very epitome of the French landscape. In spite of its beautiful scenery Limousin - the region is named after its capitalLimoges - is apparently off the beaten track for tourists. Indeed there are few conventional attractions in the usual sense, but its abundance of lakes and rivers makes the region good for anglers, canoeists and sailors. The Vezere, Correze, Vienne and Creuse rivers rise in the mountainous east (Plateau de Millevaches, Monts des Monedieres), where peaks reach a height of some 1000m. In the departements of Creuse, Haute-Vienne and Correze there are only 42 people per sq mi, and agriculture forms the basis of the economy. Manufacture of porcelain and wallpaper, as well as leather working, are key trades in the region. Every seven years (2009, 2016) some 20 towns (including ?Limoges, Le Dorat, St Junien, Nexon, Aureil) stage colourful processions between May and July called ostensions.

Three Spanish nationals were injured Monday during the sixth bull run of the San Fermin festival in Pamplona, northern Spain, the regional government said.
All of the suffered bruises in falls while running through the narrow, twisting cobbled streets of the old town of the city pursued by the bulls, a government statement said.
The run, which took just two minutes and 17 seconds, was described by organisers as "very fast".
San Fermin, which was immortalized by Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises", attracts tourists from all over the world. It ends on Wednesday.
On each day of the festival six bulls are released at 8:00 a.m. (0600 GMT) to run from their corral over an 825-metre (yard) course to the bullring where they face matadors in the afternoon.
Fifteen people have been killed since 1911 in the bull run, which is broadcast live on Spanish television.
The festival also features concerts, street parties and dances.
A 37-year-old native of Pamplona was gored in the right thigh on Sunday while a 20-year-old British man was gored on Friday and needed surgery to his left thigh.
On Thursday a 43-year-old man from Ireland was gored through his left leg while a 21-year-old Spaniard was gored in the chest.

This month's colorway is very likely not repeatable, I have only 1 skein left for sale with the tea. It took me 3 tries to get it right this month, I like a very good balance; I like it represent the tea as best I can and also be a pleasant colorway, especially when knitted into a garment. It is a delicate balance and very challenging sometimes! It is so satisfying when I put the package in the mail to my customers knowing that this is the best, which represents the tea and the yarn alone is beautiful, tea or not!

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 395261
Wrong description in summary of package
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:23 EST
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:220.127.116.11) Gecko/20071105 Galeon/2.0.3 Firefox/126.96.36.199
Description of problem:
No real bug, but I installed the package, because I thought it was a game as it says in the summary. It is not. It is a a game engine. So maybe you should change the summary.
PS: Is this the wrong place to report such a "bug"? Where else?
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.I started pirut searching for some games.
2.I saw the summary, saying that it is a game and installed it.
3.I was disappointed.
Actual Results:
I was disappointed. :-)
Expected Results:
A nice game…
Additional info:
You are right the sub-package raydium of maniadrive seems to have a wrong
summary, but the maniadrive package itself, is a nice game.
So if you installed this through add/remove programs you should have gotten both
maniadrive, the game, and raydium, the engine behind the game.
If you did install it through Pirut and did not get the game, then thats very
strange, maybe Pirut got confused because both the game (package name
maniadrive) and the engine (package name raydium) have the same Summary, but
comps.xml (which driver Pirut) points to the maniadrive package.
Either way, to really get maniadrive the game, do:
su -c "yum install maniadrive"
Note that if you have an ati r300 / r400 (9700 / 9800 for example) card using
the opensource driver, that there currently is a bug in Mesa which causes
maniadrive to be unplayable on these cards (unless you use the closed source
drivers amd provides).
And I'll go and fix the summary of the raydium sub-package now.
1.2-5, which has the raydium Summary fixed, should show up in tomorrow's
rawhide, closing.
(In reply to comment #2)
> 1.2-5, which has the raydium Summary fixed, should show up in tomorrow's
> rawhide, closing.
Thank you. I triet the game Maniadrive – it's really nice. ;-) I have a Nvidia
Geforce 256, so no problems unless it's a little bit slow…

Love, Michelle
Are kids the sweetest? Yesterday, my hubby was officiating a wedding, and my youngest asked where he was.
"At the church marrying somebody", I said.
"What? He's marrying someone else?" he gasped.
"No honey, he's just the preacher at the wedding marrying another couple!" I chuckled
"Oh, thank goodness...I don't want another mommy!"
So, cute! Boy, was he relieved!!!

(Snow removal in Fairwinds. Photo by Hien Hoang.)
Forgive me for being cynical, but when you schedule a presentation about snowplow service during the first week of July, and only tell the public about it two days before the long weekend, my first thought is that you're trying to bury some bad news.
That's exactly what it looks like the City has done with a KPMG report scheduled to be tabled at a Transportation Committee meeting on Wednesday. Continue reading

Kickin off the beginning of April with Koa's ride through the green room. Waves like this are mostly created in dreams, and living those dreams along with being in the moment on that perfect wave is what we are searching for. Surfing is addicting because of the endless search for the perfect wave, we day dream in class about it, zone out at work, and the thoughts remain within our sub-consciousness when we paddle out. So, take the time to watch this :30 second clip and envision your dream wave.

Writing the C# code in Microsoft Visual Studio
The following images were taken with Microsoft Visual Studio Professional Edition, but the tutorial can also be completed using Microsoft Visual Studio Express Edition.
- After Microsoft Visual Studio has launched, you will see it displaying the Start page below. Select New Project:
- The New Project wizard offers you the three types of Project templates. The Modify template makes a copy of the incoming message tree into a new NBMessage object, similar to the ESQL Compute node's
CopyEntireMessage()function. The Create template provides an empty NBMessage object that you can use to construct an output message tree. The Filter template assumes that the incoming message tree will be propagated out of the node unchanged. Although this tutorial uses the same outgoing message tree as the incoming message tree, it uses the modify template to let you make further changes to the output message if you wish to. Select the template named Project to modify a Message Broker message, specify the properties at the bottom of the window as follows, and then click OK:
Name =
Location =
C:\student\DOTNET\lab_msexcel\visual studio 2010\Projects
Solution Name =
- Once the project is created, expand the Solution Explorer view. You should see that the
ModifyNode.csfile has been created to contain the C# class. Also, notice that a reference to
IBM.Broker.Pluginhas been added. This assembly contains the API provided by Message Broker to transform messages in a .NETCompute node. You will also be interacting with two additional .NET Framework assemblies -- one provided by the Open XML SDK 2.0 API, and one that is included in the Windows .NET framework. Right-click the References level of the hierarchy in Solution Explorer and select Add Reference:
- In the Add Reference dialog, switch to the .NET tab and locate the component named DocumentFormat.OpenXml. If you cannot find the entry, first make sure
that you have sorted the components alphabetically. If the entry is definitely not in the list, then return to the System requirements section above and
follow the instructions to download and install the Open XML SDK 2.0 API. Once you locate the DocumentFormat.OpenXml component, click OK:
- Repeat the last two steps in order to add a second reference to the project. This time, locate the reference named WindowsBase on the .NET tab, as shown below, and click OK:
- The Solution Explorer should now show that the assembly references have been added successfully:
- The template class file
ModifyNode.csshould be open and ready for you to edit. At the top of the file, add some
usingdirectives so that you can use the classes and methods contained in the assembly references that were just added without having to fully qualify them in the C# code. This technique enables you to write more concise and more readable code. The image below shows where to insert the statements, and the listing that follows provides the statements that should be added:
Listing 1. Using directives to be placed at the top of ModifyNode.cs
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml; using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging; using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet; using Tuple = System.Tuple; using XMLNSC = IBM.Broker.Plugin.NBParsers.XMLNSC;
- The Evaluate method template created within
ModifyNode.csprovides the C# code entry point for messages arriving at the .NETCompute node in the message flow. Before creating the Evaluate code, create six methods that the code within Evaluate will invoke. Insert each of these methods in the hierarchy of the
ModifyNode.csclass file as siblings of the Evaluate method, as shown below:
- ClearData -- This method stores the first row of the spreadsheet (whose cells provide titles for the columns) in a variable, and then removes all the rows from the SheetData object.
The title row is then reinserted. The method is called before any new data is inserted into the spreadsheet, so that if the message flow is run multiple times,
the output data in the sheet is not confused with entries made by previous executions:
Listing 2. Sample code for the ClearData method
private static void ClearData(WorksheetPart XLWS) { Worksheet ws = XLWS.Worksheet; SheetData sdata = ws.GetFirstChild<SheetData>(); var titleRow = sdata.Elements<Row>().Where(r => r.RowIndex.Value == 1).FirstOrDefault(); sdata.RemoveAllChildren<Row>(); sdata.InsertAt(titleRow, 0); }
- InsertSpreadsheetRowForCursor -- This method fills the cells of a row in the spreadsheet to describe the part of the logical message tree at which the NBElement cursor is currently pointing.
This method is invoked from within a loop that iterates over the logical tree, so it is called once for each element level in the tree's hierarchy.
Each row that is inserted contains cells describing the current element's Value Type, Namespace (if it has one), Name, and Value:
Listing 3. Sample code for the InsertSpreadsheetRowForCursor method
private static void InsertSpreadsheetRowForCursor(WorksheetPart XLWS, NBElement cursor, uint RowNum, uint IndentNum) { // Each row in the spreadsheet will contain an entry for one element // from the Broker's logical tree hierarchy. // Every entry in the Broker logical tree can have: // A Namespace, a Name, a Type and a Value string insertnamespace = ""; string insertname = ""; string inserttype = ""; string insertvalue = ""; if (cursor.GenericType == NBElementGenericType.Name) { InsertCell(XLWS, "Folder", "A", RowNum); } else { inserttype = cursor.ValueType.ToString(); InsertCell(XLWS, inserttype, "A", RowNum); } if (IndentNum > 0) { insertnamespace = cursor.Namespace ?? "NULL"; InsertCell(XLWS, insertnamespace, "B", RowNum); } insertname = cursor.Name ?? "NULL"; InsertCell(XLWS, insertname, CalcIndentLetter(2 + IndentNum), RowNum); if (cursor.ElementType == XMLNSC.PCDataField || cursor.ElementType == XMLNSC.DoubleNamespaceDeclaration || cursor.ElementType == XMLNSC.SingleNamespaceDeclaration || cursor.ElementType == XMLNSC.DoubleAttribute || cursor.ElementType == XMLNSC.SingleAttribute) { insertvalue = cursor.ValueAsString ?? "NULL"; InsertCell(XLWS, insertvalue, CalcIndentLetter(3 + IndentNum), RowNum); } }
- NavigateCursor -- This method is also invoked from within a loop to locate the next element in the tree's hierarchy. If the current element has children, then the cursor is moved deeper into the hierarchy
to the first available child. If there are no children of the current element, then the cursor is moved to the next sibling of the current position. If there are no siblings either, then the cursor is moved up the hierarchy to the next sibling of the cursor's parent. If the cursor's parent has no siblings, then the algorithm continues to iterate through positions nested less deep in the hierarchy, until a sibling of its ancestor elements is located:
Listing 4. Sample code for the NavigateCursor method
private static Tuple<NBElement,uint> NavigateCursor(NBElement cursor, uint IndentNum) { if (cursor.Children().Count() > 0) { // This means the cursor has at least one child // So move to the first child ... cursor = cursor.FirstChild; IndentNum++; return Tuple.Create(cursor, IndentNum); } else { if (cursor.NextSibling != null) { // Arrival here means no children, but siblings are present cursor = cursor.NextSibling; return Tuple.Create(cursor, IndentNum); } else { while (cursor.Parent != null) { if (cursor.Parent.NextSibling != null) { cursor = cursor.Parent.NextSibling; IndentNum--; return Tuple.Create(cursor, IndentNum); } else { if (IndentNum > 0) { IndentNum--; } cursor = cursor.Parent; } } return Tuple.Create(cursor, IndentNum); } } }
- InsertCell This method inserts a cell into the WorksheetPart object at the location specified by the column and index:
Listing 5. Sample code for the InsertCell method
private static void InsertCell(WorksheetPart wspart, string text, string column, uint index) { string location = column + index; Worksheet ws = wspart.Worksheet; SheetData sdata = ws.GetFirstChild<SheetData>(); // Locate the row number of index value var currentRow = sdata.Elements<Row>().Where(r => r.RowIndex.Value == index).FirstOrDefault(); // If the row does not already exist then create it if (currentRow == null) { currentRow = new Row(); currentRow.RowIndex = index; sdata.Append(currentRow); } // If the row does not have a cell with the // specified column letter then insert one. Cell cellFinal = new Cell() { CellReference = location }; if (currentRow.Elements<Cell>(). Where(c => c.CellReference.Value == location).Count() > 0) { cellFinal = currentRow.Elements<Cell>(). Where(c => c.CellReference.Value == location).First(); } else { // Loop over the elements in the row to locate the insert position Cell cellCursor = null; foreach (Cell cell in currentRow.Elements<Cell>()) { if (string.Compare(cell.CellReference.Value, location, true) > 0) { // Once the correct location is reached, update the cursor and exit cellCursor = cell; break; } } // Insert the cell in the correct position currentRow.InsertBefore(cellFinal, cellCursor); } // Now the cell definitely exists, set its Value and DataType cellFinal.CellValue = new CellValue(text); cellFinal.DataType = new EnumValue<CellValues>(CellValues.String); // Save the worksheet ws.Save(); }
- CalcIndentLetter -- This method returns a string value containing a letter that corresponds to the column number passed into the method using the uint data type:
Listing 6. Sample code for the CalcIndentLetter method
private static string CalcIndentLetter(uint indentNumber) { object[] LetterArray = new object[]{"A","B","C","D","E","F", "G","H","I","J","K","L", "M","N","O","P","Q","R", "S","T","U","V","W","X", "Y","Z","AA","AB","AC","AD"}; return (string)LetterArray[indentNumber-1]; }
- SaveAndClose -- This method is called after construction of the spreadsheet is completed. It saves the spreadsheet and closes it, so that other applications (such as Microsoft Excel)
can open the file once the message flow has completed its processing:
Listing 7. Sample code for the SaveAndClose method
private static void SaveAndClose(WorksheetPart XLWS, SpreadsheetDocument XLDoc) { XLWS.Worksheet.Save(); XLDoc.Close(); }
- Having created the helper methods, now consider the Evaluate method, which opens a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file and represents it as a SpreadsheetDocument object.
The spreadsheet file is expected to be at the hard-coded file system location
C:\student\DOTNET\lab_msexcel\Test.xlsx. Once open, the first sheet is opened, and the ClearData method is used in order to blank any existing data from the sheet that may be there from previous executions of the message flow. The code then uses a loop to iterate through the logical message tree, invoking the two methods
NavigateCursorin turn. The RowNumber variable records the index of the next row for insertion, and the IndentNumber variable records how many nested levels into the message hierarchy have been navigated. As the cursor iterates more deeply into the message structure, this value increases, and then as tags are closed, it decreases again and ends at zero when the cursor reaches the end of the message. At the end of the UserCode region of the Evaluate method, invoke the SaveAndClose method to save the Excel worksheet and close the file:
Listing 8. Sample code for the UserCode region of the Evaluate method
#region UserCode // Add user code in this region to create a new output message // Hard-code the location of the spreadsheet file string filename = "Test.xlsx"; string path = @"C:\student\DOTNET\lab_msexcel\"; string sourceFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(path, filename); // Open the existing spreadsheet document SpreadsheetDocument XLDoc = SpreadsheetDocument.Open(sourceFile, true); WorkbookPart XLWBP = XLDoc.WorkbookPart; WorksheetPart XLWS = XLWBP.WorksheetParts.First(); SheetData sheetData = XLWS.Worksheet.GetFirstChild<SheetData>(); // Clear any existing data from spreadsheet ClearData(XLWS); uint RowNumber = 2; uint IndentNumber = 0; // Create an NBElement pointing at the root of the logical message tree NBElement treeRoot = inputMessage.RootElement; NBElement cursorElement = treeRoot.FirstChild; // Iterate through the logical message tree while (!cursorElement.Name.Equals(treeRoot.Name)) { // Insert the next row into the spreadsheet! InsertSpreadsheetRowForCursor(XLWS, cursorElement, RowNumber, IndentNumber); // Increment the counter for recording which row we are up to RowNumber = RowNumber + 1; // Navigate the cursor to the next item in the tree var result = NavigateCursor(cursorElement, IndentNumber); cursorElement = result.Item1; IndentNumber = result.Item2; } SaveAndClose(XLWS, XLDoc); #endregion UserCode
- With the development work now complete, build an assembly file that you will reference from the .NETCompute node.
From the Solution Explorer, right-click on the Solution and select Build Solution:
- The output window will show you where the built assembly file has been saved on your file system. Depending on how you have Microsoft Visual Studio configured,
the Build Output window may not immediately be visible. If it is not, follow the instructions in the sidebar to open the Output window.
If you have used the default naming suggested throughout this tutorial, the assembly file will be saved at:
C:\student\DOTNET\lab_msexcel\visual studio 2010\Projects\MSExcelDotNetProject\ MSExcelDotNetProject\bin\Debug\MSExcelDotNetProject.dll
The next section of the tutorial shows you how to unite your message flow development and the C# assembly you have built, and deploy to Message Broker.
