I am attempting to Revamp my grandmothers flower beds for her. They have not had any real maintenance in ten to twelve years. It is infested with weeds, I am removing all mulch and am going to spray with roundup weed and grass killer. Then I am going to replace the mulch. Am I going about this the right way? | |||
you will kill the flowers. stop here. if you use any roundup at all, use a little in a cut-open soda can with a small paintbrush. do not spray. do not use grass killer, it's quite indiscrimanate also. where weeds are not right on top of plants you like, paint the weed leaves with roundup diluted to label directions. do not spray water during the kill period, or it could wash the stuff off and take flowers out with it... spot water the flowers only at their base with a open-end watering can. and try this in a small test area only before committing to it. roots intertwine in the ground between plants, including weeds. roundup works by translocating down the plant and choking the ability of the roots to move water up the plant. it could cross one root to another and damage the wanted plants. what I would do is pull all the weeds you can (note... get guidance from Grandma on which plants are not weeds), then take up the mulch and trash it. use a 3 or 4 tine cultivator and/or hoe to knock down other weeds that start coming up between the plants. after a while, the weeds will stay sparse. THEN re-mulch. the kill time of most herbicides is two to four weeks, and things might not look like anything is happening for that first week or two. some of those plants might need dividing as well to unlock root binding.This message has been edited.

As Swschrad suggests, ask your Grandmother which, if any, perennials remain. It's quite possible that the weeds have killed most of them and taken over. If there are any perennials left, I would hand weed around them, clearing an area so that your next step of weed removal won't disturb what perennials are remaining. I've used a scuffle hoe for years and found it to be the best tool for weeding. The hoe flexes back and forth and loosens the weeds and roots so that they can then be raked up. It might not work on weeds with extensive intertwining root systems as these can be heavily tangled and interwoven. It may sound time consuming, but it's easier on the soil than herbicides (which I NEVER use) and isn't too hard on your hands and arms if you use your upper arms to move the hoe. http://www.google.com/search?q...sAQ&biw=1024&bih=599. The style I use is shown in the second photo in the first full row. After the weed roots are loosened, you can rake them up with a leaf rake and bag them for pickup, unless you want to compost them. Depending on the size of the flower beds, another alternative is to solarize them by laying plastic over the weeds and anchoring it so that the plastic doesn't blow around. The plastic kills the weeds (unless they're thistles, which are another story) and you can then scuffle hoe and remove them more easily. I've read that white vinegar will kill weeds, but I've only had limited success with it on individual weeds. Over the years I've experimented with mulch and eventually either turned it under or composted it. I've found that it DOES NOT prevent further weeds from growing and only makes it harder to weed out the ones that do grow. It's much easier to just scuffle hoe the weeds as they appear, without having to either move or go through the mulch. The advantage of turning the mulch under is that it provides moist soil at the root level rather than on top of the soil. This was an accidental discovery I made but it has worked well over the years for my garden, which was once 6000 square feet (and required a lot of weeding).This message has been edited.

I would use a two prong approach. I would hand pull or hoe out the weeds. Then water. As the new ones come up or old ones come back CAREFULLY spray with roundup. Do not use any other products. The others will pollute the soil and prevent anything from growing. | ||||
Just my opinion... No offence to anyone but after 10 -12 years of doing nothing, I would just start over. | ||||

UPDATE: About 14,000 in Bucks Still Without Power
All three of the county's electric suppliers still were working to restore electricity to all customers.
A week after Hurricane Sandy struck, about 14,000 Bucks County electric customers still were without power.
As of Monday at 5:20 p.m., 2,228, Met Ed customers in northeast Bucks and 820 PPL customers in northwest Bucks were out of power.
In Central and Lower Bucks, about 11,000 PECO customers still were without power as of Monday.
In PECO's territory, service for most remaining customers is expected to be restored by midnight Monday. However, the company noted that some "customers in the most damaged and isolated areas may be without electric service until next week."
Met Ed made progress in Bucks County in recent days by energizing the Ferndale Substation on Sunday evening and the Ottsville Substation on Monday, according to an update from the company given to State Rep. Marguerite Quinn's office.
Heavy damage was identified on circuits out of the Ottsville and Bridgeton substations. Met Ed crews were concentrating on Ottsville, Ferndale, Tinicum, Durham and Riegelsville on Monday, the company said.
Power restoration began in Ottsville on Saturday, Quinn said, and about half of the customers in that area had been restored by 9 a.m. Monday. That figure was expected to increase to 85 percent by the end of the day, she said.

Dawn of a new era
A stakeholder-innovation programme implemented at Novo Nordisk, a pharmaceutical company, aimed to link customers to other external stakeholders and employees to enable better diabetes care. Søren Skovlund explains how the programme has led the organisation to form new partnerships and mindsets, and how it is helping to sustain competitive advantage worldwide.
The political, social and economic environment of the pharmaceutical industry is constantly changing, forcing it to prepare for a future that will embrace a more holistic vision of healthcare. A future outlook developed by Novo Nordisk, a pharmaceutical company specialising in diabetes care, for the year 2020 and beyond showed that knowledge management and networking will be the prime drivers of successful businesses in the future. For healthcare companies to thrive in this challenging environment, they need to go beyond typical customer-oriented solutions by reaching out to a diverse group of stakeholders, to capitalise on combined knowledge, insight and skills.
Building relationships with key stakeholders in global, international and local communities is at the core of our business approach. We call it the triple bottom line, which reflects an integrated understanding of how the social, environmental and economic bottom lines are inter-related. Business performance that aims to be socially responsible, environmentally sound and economically viable serves two purposes: it generates long-term profitability and earns our societal licence to operate.
Novo Nordisk engages with stakeholders to reconcile dilemmas and to find common ground to develop more sustainable solutions. Innovation is enhanced through the cross-fertilisation of knowledge and experience. Novo Nordisk has always done business this way and it has become part of the company culture. Employees pride themselves on being there for their customers and strive to better understand their needs.
The diabetes attitudes wishes and needs (Dawn) programme, [1] which builds upon a global survey of the psychological aspects of diabetes and involved thousands of people from 13 countries, is a classic example of stakeholder innovation. Tapping into this global knowledge base allowed Novo Nordisk and its stakeholders to develop a new approach to diabetes care that looked more closely at the person behind the disease. The knowledge from Dawn has become an integral part of the Novo Nordisk national diabetes programme (NDP), a collaborative approach to improving international diabetes care. The NDP facilitates the development of effective national diabetes programmes through sharing best practices among more than 40 countries.
For people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, there is increasing evidence that prevention and a care model based on the psychological as well as the physical aspects of a disease can have a dramatic impact on the quality and outcome of care. Despite the availability of effective diabetes therapies, more than half of those with diabetes do not achieve full health and quality of life.
A main reason for this is inadequate care, leading to poor self-care, lack of empowerment and lack of acceptance of required therapies. Ultimately, this can lead to severe long-term complications. While healthcare systems are increasingly focusing their efforts on reducing the socio-economic burden of disease, as well as the healthcare costs, through reorganisation of the care process and structure, the product-focused pharmaceutical industry is falling behind.
The only thing that makes a company unique is knowledge others can replicate your products, replicate your services, can reverse engineer your strategies, but they cannot replicate your knowledge and how you use it to create a collaborative advantage, says Debra Amidon, CEO of Entovation. If the pharmaceutical industry can rise to the challenge and make itself part of a larger solution, its potential involvement in addressing the burden of disease on a national and global scale can increase dramatically, and those who move from product differentiation to know-how and knowledge-innovation management will be those best prepared for the future.
Establishing the knowledge advantage
In 2001, Novo Nordisk identified an urgent need to engage stakeholders around the world in a discussion about how diabetes care could be improved so more people with diabetes would achieve adequate control of their condition.
Health statistics showed that people with diabetes were suffering unnecessarily from severe complications due to inadequate blood-sugar control. The clinical and quality-of-life benefits of the latest therapeutic regimens for diabetes were not realised for the majority of people with diabetes due to unknown or poorly defined barriers to effective support for self-management.
In order to set a global movement in motion to identify these non-medical barriers to better diabetes care and treatment outcomes, Novo Nordisk initiated the Dawn study in 2001. This was the largest diabetes study of its kind ever conducted. The study took place in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Netherlands, France, Spain, the UK, US, Japan, India and Poland, and involved more than 5,400 people with diabetes and more than 3,800 healthcare professionals, including specialist physicians, general practitioners, nurse specialists and general nurses. It was carried out in collaboration with the International Diabetes Federation and an international expert advisory board, both of which are integral parts of todays ongoing Dawn programme, which aims to translate the findings into practical initiatives worldwide.
The objective of the study was to explore the attitudes, wishes and needs of both people with diabetes and diabetes healthcare professionals in order to identify critical gaps in healthcare and generate new hypotheses. In addition, it was hoped that the results of the study would identify areas in diabetes care where it would be most cost effective for Novo Nordisk to engage in partnership with relevant stakeholders, such as NGOs, governments, healthcare professionals and leading scientists.
The Dawn study questionnaire was created following focus groups with people with diabetes and healthcare professionals in eight countries. It assessed views of different types of healthcare professionals and people with diabetes on various topics and contrasted the responses. The questionnaire gave rise to an array of insights into opportunities for innovation by bringing stakeholders together.
The new knowledge-value proposition
The results of the Dawn study were embraced by leading representatives of organisations such as International Diabetes Federation, World Health Organisation, professional associations, healthcare ministries, key opinion leaders, healthcare professionals, those with diabetes, politicians and media around the world. The main conclusion drawn from the study findings was that to improve health outcomes in diabetes, the total healthcare system must focus more on the psychological issues attached to living with the condition: in other words, to focus on the person behind the disease.
The Dawn study quantitatively showed for the first time how people with diabetes across continents suffer from different types of emotional distress and poor psychological wellbeing. Poor self-management due to psychological and social factors was confirmed as a major contributing factor to impaired diabetes health outcomes.
Healthcare professionals acknowledge a lack of resources to identify and care for the many psychosocial problems and it was revealed that team-based, patient-centred communication was globally inadequate. Healthcare professionals were not aware of certain psychosocial barriers that many people with diabetes experience and which could often prevent them from accepting much needed therapy. For instance, many physicians were not aware that most people with type-two diabetes would blame themselves for failing to self-manage if they were asked to start using insulin.
The study also indicated actions that might be taken to minimise this problem, as many healthcare professionals reported using threats about insulin therapy to motivate their patients to follow oral or lifestyle therapy. The Dawn study offered an urgently needed platform for dialogue across all diabetes stakeholder groups, as well as concrete guidance on how the processes of diabetes care might be optimised to improve care in industrialised, as well as less developed, societies.
As much as the Dawn study identified missed opportunities for better health and healthcare, the study gave rise to new optimism and strategies. These included ventures such as national train-the-trainer programmes for primary-care physicians on the psychological aspect of care and quality-of-life questionnaires for people with diabetes, which several countries now incorporate into routine health evaluations. The common aim of such initiatives is to improve quality of life of people with diabetes and reduce the socio-economic burden of the condition by enabling people to utilise the currently available therapeutic regimens more effectively.
This new knowledge-value proposition linking the economic, social and technological elements emerged from the Dawn study and was translated into a culture and stakeholder approach to business through knowledge innovation.
Knowledge innovation
Within Novo Nordisk, the key findings of the Dawn study were circulated to increase customer understanding and orientation, and to spark innovation that would allow the company to contribute even more to defeating diabetes.
To secure a deep understanding of the Dawn findings, a target of 60 per cent of all employees in relevant areas were required to discuss the study with a person or people with diabetes in the first year. Workshops took place that involved 30 employees at a time and a group of people with diabetes. These were conducted across the organisation and resulted in valuable feedback and the initiation of new activities.
Externally, the Dawn results were shared with leading diabetes experts, clinicians, diabetes sufferers, the media, industry, NGOs and decision makers worldwide. A broad and open multi-stakeholder process of interpreting the findings involved many individuals and organisations, and led to the second International Dawn Summit of Novo Nordisk in 2003, which was organised in collaboration with the International Diabetes Federation.
Summit participants representing 31 different countries and including members of government, the World Health Organisation, the International Diabetes Federation and many other key players in diabetes issued an international call to action for better diabetes care. This was subsequently published in non-specialist, clinical and scientific magazines, as well as the International Diabetes Federation publications, reaching a total of over 140 countries and several million people.
The critical areas for concern and action identified by the Dawn study were examined through the web of stakeholders engaged in the process. As illustrated in the diagram, knowledge comes from all nodes on the stakeholder innovation network. Novo Nordisk can now be viewed with its extended knowledge base as a zone for innovation where, according to Amidon, knowledge can move from the point of origin to the point of need and opportunity.[2] In this case, the central focus is on people with the disease.
Today, the Dawn programme provides an international framework for concerted advocacy, guidelines, practical tools and best practices to facilitate the translation of Dawn learnings into practice. The Dawn programme is influencing healthcare systems, both through policy and practices that are locally driven.
Over the past two years, the Dawn programme has successfully increased awareness about the importance of psycho-social issues in diabetes care and contributed to the initiation of wide-reaching national and regional educational activities; the implementation of psychosocial support tools; the facilitation of new dialogue between key stakeholders in diabetes; and the revision of treatment guidelines in a number of countries.
The Dawn study has laid the foundations for collaborative relationships among diverse groups of society, enhancing not only the value of the knowledge, but also the future for patient-centred care.
Driving knowledge innovation
Taking the Dawn programme to the next level meant effectively converting intangible knowledge assets into concrete value propositions. Setting aside a traditional approach in favour of a new stakeholder approach offers a number of business benefits. These include:
- Increased customer loyalty;
- The creation of new knowledge assets;
- Improved use of effective therapies;
- More appropriate use of modern delivery systems to address psycho-social barriers;
- A heightened focus on the need for more convenient care regimens to improve quality of life.
The main goal was to promote a shift in internal mindsets that encouraged interaction between different units and functions within the organisation. Insights from Dawn were applied, for example, in strategies for development of innovative insulin-delivery systems and to help clinical investigators communicate more effectively with participants in clinical trials with regards to psychosocial barriers to therapy.
Tapping the knowledge base of Dawn through stakeholder innovation delivered many impressive results, including:
- An exclusive dialogue tool with key opinion leaders, governments, healthcare professionals and people with diabetes about new perspectives on how to improve diabetes care;
- A deep understanding of the real needs of both healthcare professionals and people with diabetes, and the inter-relations, as a basis for shaping an evidence-based customer-focused research and service organisation;
- A unique understanding of the motivational processes of empowerment of an individual applied to the interaction between healthcare professionals and people with diabetes and customers;
- Opportunities to develop innovative products and services that enhance the value of combined products to end-users.
The practical implementation of the programme relied on local and regional know-how, networks and resources within Novo Nordisk. Affiliates were given responsibility for translating Dawn into action, together with key stakeholders and opinion leaders. Best practices were shared through the intranet and international meetings, promoting local ownership of the values and ideas of the Dawn programme in the company.
What we have learnt
The national use of Dawn was made possible because of guidance from an international key-opinion-leader advisory board and what arose from major meetings with attendants from more than 30 counties. These elements helped build loyalty and deepen relationships with the influential diabetes stakeholders in each country and thereby promote sustainable partnerships.
The Dawn programme has taught us the importance of prioritising KM so that we can continuously drive stakeholder innovation. While local ownership and effective distribution of the core concept is key, centralised conceptualisation and co-ordination is likely to be pivotal in order to achieve tangible company benefits.
The knowledge-innovation process clearly had to be presented as a facilitative dialogue aimed at enabling local pioneers, both inside and outside the company, to excel in their own country. This was necessary to initiate an accumulative process of distributed knowledge generation.
We believe that the psycho-social topic of the Dawn study had a beneficial impact on the thinking of many stakeholders, as it is a universally relevant topic and encompasses underlying motivational process that link to the deeper motivations of employees and stakeholders to do well. The adoption of these concepts requires the local endorsement of their relevance to ensure cost-effective use of budget resources.
What we can do differently
Conducting a global survey may be manageable, but creating a sustainable innovation process that changes the attitudes and behaviours of an entire organisation is a daunting task that requires a strong culture, constant efforts and a multi-tier strategy. The process is long term and requires constant expansion of our interaction with key organisations and people in diabetes to keep our approach fresh and relevant, while at the same time showcasing local success stories that demonstrate the practical implementation of Dawn.
The dynamic knowledge-innovation process may conflict with streamlined product-focused business processes. Crucial to success is the timely development of adequate IT and HR programmes to properly implement formal aspects of the intended change for external stakeholders, as well as cross-organisational functioning. Without appropriate, tailored, interactive IT systems to support the process upfront, it may be difficult to reach distant parts of the organisation.
The challenge remains to create sufficient momentum to implement concrete incentive and evaluation systems for employees that are aligned with the proposed change in behaviour and attitude towards a more collaborative, solution-focused approach. These are the new intangible performance criteria based upon intellectual capital and sustainability indicators.
Many opportunities can be missed if the essential internal and external knowledge-innovation processes are counteracted by remuneration systems that focus on short-term goals and individual achievements. However, this is a long-term process. We have also learnt that establishing clear ownership of knowledge innovation by those who are expected to exploit that knowledge is a key motivational aspect.
Where to go from here?
Using the lessons learnt through the Dawn programme, all stakeholders in todays healthcare industry should engage in new forms of interactive sharing of knowledge and the creation of solutions in partnership. In this way they can promote a sustainable approach to improved care for chronic diseases and effectively utilise corporate social responsibility as a catalyst for change.
It is only through the constant creation of well structured and carefully managed knowledge programmes, and the development of new partnerships, that innovation in public health-promotion activities can flourish and the burden of disease can effectively be reduced.

Vista and Me, Part III
Submitted by prophead on 21 September, 2008 - 13:24Now that I had most of my "legacy" applications running under Win Vista, it was time to turn my attention to the drivers. The only drivers that were installed to date were those that came with the system, which included drivers for an HP F4280 multipurpose printer. I had two older printers (an HP 952C and an Epson CX3810) that I needed to find 64-bit drivers for. So off I went to hp.com and epson.com respectively and found 64-bit drivers for both. I installed the drivers and both printers were now up an running under Win Vista 64-bit.
The HP PC came equipped with a multipurpose flash memory card reader, so all my various compact flash and SD cards made an effortless transition. The only remaining device I needed a new driver for was my webcam, which was about three years old. I didn't expect to find a driver and my expectations were met! It's been my experience that the webcam vendors rarely bother to provide drivers for operating systems other than the ones that were in existance when the device came on the market. But all's well anyway, as the webcam remains up and running just fine on the old Win XP desktop.
And so far, other than the webcam, every device I've connected to the USB ports have worked as expected, including my USB-attached hard drive.
That left me with one more application to get running. I use the Menalto Gallery on my web site. For batch uploading of images, I had been using Gallery Remote. Although everything I had read said that Gallery Remote was not compatible with Win Vista, I figured there was nothing to lose by giving it a shot. As it turned out, there are indeed some problems with it, but the basic file uploading works. There are problems with local image resizing and a few other nits, but all I ever used Gallery Remote for was batch uploading, so it satisfied my needs.
In conclusion, I've found Win Vista Ultimate 64-bit with Service Pack 1 to be quite stable. I've had it running 24 x 7 for over a month now with no crashes and all my legacy applications are running just fine. Is it perfect? No. Are there things I do not like about it? Of course. But the same can be said for all the operating systems I've used over the years.

After years of searching for Higgs boson, or the "God particle", which is presumed to endow all matter with mass, scientists have discovered a new particle, consistent with the elusive Higgs boson.
The discovery was announced July 4 at a seminar held at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, near Geneva, Switzerland, based on the latest preliminary results from ATLAS and CMS experiments.
The ATLAS and CMS are two large experiments being conducted at CERN's atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, which recreates a "Big Bang", namely the conditions that existed early in the evolution of the universe on a microscale.
The LHC, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, built at a cost of around 2.6 billion pounds, was commissioned in 2008. Beams of protons or lead ions approaching the speed of light are circulated in the LHC and made to collide head-on. The particles created in the collisions are analyzed using special detectors. Scientists believe that the resulting events caused by the high-energy collisions will help to understand the mass of fundamental particles.
Higgs boson, has been the missing piece in the Standard Model of particle physics, a theory used by physicists to explain and calculate a vast variety of particle interactions and quantum phenomena.
The existence of boson, the key to the origin of particle mass, was suggested by Professor Peter Higgs in 1964. The history of the 'Higgs boson hunt' dates back to 1989 at CERN's Large Electron-Positron, or LEP, collider, which was commissioned in 1989. LEP was closed down on November 2, 2000 to make way for the construction of the LHC. In March 2001, the location of search for Higgs boson was shifted to Chicago-based Fermilab's Tevatron Collider, which was operational till September 2011.
After more than 10 years of gathering and analyzing data, on Monday (July 2), the Tevatron team announced that they see strong indications of the production and decay of Higgs bosons. The Tevatron results indicated that the Higgs particle, if it exists, has a mass between 115 and 135 GeV/c2, or about 130 times the mass of the proton.
The new particle observed in the LHC is in the mass region around 125-126 GeV. Even though the results are preliminary, with the 2012 data still under analysis, it's hard not to get excited by the results since the new particle has been observed at the level of 5 sigma signal. After all, a 5-sigma result indicates a 99.99995 percent chance that the result can be reproduced and can survive the test of time.
CERN Research Director Sergio Bertolucci said, "We stated last year that in 2012 we would either find a new Higgs-like particle or exclude the existence of the Standard Model Higgs. The observation of this new particle indicates the path for the future towards a more detailed understanding of what we're seeing in the data."
CMS experiment spokesperson Joe Incandela noted, "What we are observing is very likely a new particle with very large mass that would have to be a boson."
According to the scientists, the next step will be to determine the precise nature of the newly discovered particle and find out if it is a Standard Model Higgs or a variant that indicates new physics and other new particles.
A more complete picture of the new particle, which has been found to be consistent with long-sought Higgs boson, is expected to emerge later this year after the LHC provides more data. Stay tuned!

Effects of Illiteracy in the USA.
by admin, January 30, 2011
in Education
The basic lack of reading and writing skills or illiteracy does not preclude the ability of a person to get through life, but illiteracy certainly does preclude that any quality of life will be achievable.
The USA provides free public education up to high school level, yet many people remain uneducated, but this does not mean that such people are stupid, dumb, or without a natural intelligence. So what are the effects of illiteracy?
Poverty and illiteracy often go together. An effect of illiteracy is that it can replicate and be passed down the generations. Illiterate adults have a far greater chance of having illiterate children than normally educated families.

Health Information
Genital Warts (Human Papillomavirus)
When To Call a Doctor
Call your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms:
- Sores, bumps, rashes, blisters, or warts on or around your genitals or anus
- Burning, pain, or severe itching while urinating
- For women, an abnormal vaginal discharge that smells bad
- For men, an abnormal discharge from your penis
Call your doctor if you suspect you have been exposed to a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Avoid sexual contact until you have been examined by a doctor.
A child can get genital warts in several ways. Any child who has genital warts needs to be evaluated by a doctor to find out the cause and to assess for possible Reference sexual abuse.
In rare cases, infants may develop warts in the larynx (laryngeal papillomas), which is in the throat, from exposure to HPV during birth.
Watchful waiting
A doctor should evaluate any warts or other symptoms that suggest infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) or another sexually transmitted infection (STI). Avoid sexual contact until you have been examined. If you have an STI, avoid sexual contact to prevent spreading the virus.
Sometimes, warts may go away on their own. If you have genital warts, your doctor may observe your condition without using medical treatment. This is called watchful waiting. This period may vary from a few days to weeks or possibly months.
The length of the watchful waiting period is based on:
- The severity of your symptoms.
- The progression of the problem if not treated.
- The risks and benefits of waiting.
- Your age and medical history.
Who to see
In general, your Reference family doctor Opens New Window or any of the following health professionals can determine whether you have genital warts:
- Reference Nurse practitioner Opens New Window
- Reference Physician assistant Opens New Window
- Reference Internist Opens New Window
Treatment may require a specialist, such as a:
- Reference Gynecologist Opens New Window.
- Reference Urologist Opens New Window.
- Reference Dermatologist Opens New Window.
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Reference Making the Most of Your Appointment.

Well 1) There was a huge SW community; I hope to revive it; this topic is one way of informing people that a map is in creation. and 2) Unlike my godly sc1 mapping skills, I have no idea how to map in SC2. and 3) If you follow all my help topics and tutorials, you'll easily figure out I'm making this map.
Anyways, what'd ya think of the terrain in the screenshot? (>^^)>

Is creating a topic on this site considered "displaying the map"? Also, how are we supposed to test the map (uses multiple players) if we can't "share" it w/ others? Also, is there a way to test a map with multiple players w/o publishing and w/o blizzard knowing you shared it?
I'm doing this map for the joy of mapping (and snowball wars); I'll do the contest if I finish by the deadline. (>^^)>

Post #8 fat_flying_pigs Aug 16 2010, 5:21 am
This map utilizes trees and coverage to hide units. However, the "terrain quality" option changes the amount of trees/graphics shown. This gives a player using low quality a huge advantage over a player using ultra quality. Low almost none/no bushes, trees, grass. Medium gives some, and Ultra changes some of the smaller bushes in medium to trees, etc.
How would I make the plant cover equal for all all quality settings, and if possible, how would I reduce the lag if would cause on lower end systems. (>^^)>

What are they used for? They both look not-good, imo. Probably because you tend to repeat a lot of times the same doodads. They are just parts of the battlefield, throw in some variation. Anything else I could do other than remove some of the doodads? I'm trying to use other things to obstruct view since trees don't work on the low graphics. They also help block from melee unit rushes. (>^^)>

Post #19 DevliN Aug 19 2010, 10:28 am
Maybe Devourer put in something similar to the old mineral system when he added the new system. When members joined SEN, they'd start off with -200 minerals so they'd really have to work to get items. Given how small the minerals per post ratio is, that safeguard seems unnecessary. But that's a topic for another thread.

DS and I just caught "Enchanted" this afternoon...oh, what a sweet, funny, wonderful movie! Now I see why everyone is going so gaga over Patrick Dempsey--he's adorable. k
On the other extreme, "No Country for Old Men". Wow. NOT a feel-good movie. Intense, violent, but one you won't soon forget.
I totally agree. That was one of those movies that my kids loved and I loved even more. That's going to be a must-have when it comes to DVD.
Ricky —our ability to perform up to our physiological potential in a race is determined by whether or not we truly psychologically believe that what we are attempting is realistic. Anton Krupicka
I saw "I AM LEGEND". Great premise for a movie but too many holes in it. There is one big surprise if you haven't seen or heard too much. And I didn't like the ending.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Great movie. The actresses who played Belle, Ariel and Jasmine made cameos. And the misunderstood wicked witch kinda also made a cameo. And Disney did a smart and ironic send-up of their princesses. In the first few minutes of the movie, my wife (who knew nothing about the film) leaned over and asked whether what we were seeing was for real or was self-sattire; she could not tell. I totally agree with you!
Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

Fodor's Virginia and Maryland
Trade Paperback
Although just a short drive from Washington, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh, western Maryland and Frederick County feel a world apart, with their postcard-perfect vistas and vintage feel. Sometimes called "The Mountain Side of Maryland," travelers are drawn here by sweeping views of the Allegheny Mountains, especially when the foliage turns rich shades of gold and russet. Others come to explore the area's historic Civil War past at Harpers Ferry, Monocacy, and Antietam National Battlefield, scene of the bloodiest one-day battle in the nation's history. The past is inescapable here: everywhere there are reminders of the men in blue and gray who clashed during the Civil War, and the steam engines that chugged through mountainous passes into the wilderness.

Antivirus protection
- Complete protection against the top security threats – operating system patching, application-level patching, virtual machine patching, and antivirus
- Schedule data file downloads for new patch and/or antivirus/spyware signatures
- View patch and threat information at the same time
- Real-time file scanning for all threats – including spyware, adware, malware, and viruses
Power Management

- Installation of printers, VPN configuration, USB configuration, and other common machine configuration settings.
- ITScripts to simplify the creation and enforcement of common GPO settings.
- Maintenance ITScripts: These focus on regular maintenance tasks for servers and workstations, but may also include some application specific maintenance. For example, resetting local admin password, removing temp files and internet files, and Protect console temp files and repository cleanup.
- Information ITScripts: These include scripts relating to collecting information from machines such as last boot time, service tag, running services, existing shares, system event logs, etc. These scripts may be used to validate settings, assist in day-to-day troubleshooting for admins outside of Patch Management, collect data that generally require a lot of manual effort.
- Network ITScripts: These will focus on network related protocols and troubleshooting such as port scanning, machine resolution, etc.
Snapshot Backup Recovery
- Take and manage "snapshots" of VMs (virtual machines) - both immediately before and immediately after patching
- Automate backup process so a current and relevant backup copy of VMs is immediately available for roll-back or disaster recovery
Template VM Patching
A template is a master copy of a virtual machine that can be used to quickly and consistently create and provision new virtual machines. The template image typically includes a specified operating system and configuration that provides virtual counterparts to hardware components. Normally, a template includes an installed guest operating system and a set of applications. VMware vCenter Protect supports template patch updates to ensure that these templates are always at a ready patched status consistent with policy so that when they are brought online they don't place your network at any security, stability or compliance risk.

Actress Ashley Judd's family has followed Kentucky basketball for generations, so it's been a natural for her to become such a devoted Wildcats fan.
Judd has been a regular at Kentucky's NCAA tournament games and rarely misses a chance to root on the Wildcats when they reach the Final Four. She attended Saturday's win over in-state rival on Saturday, flew to Birmingham, Ala., to watch her husband, IndyCar driver Dario Franchitti race, and arrived at the Superdome just before tipoff against Kansas.
"For me, Kentucky basketball is about family," she said, seated next to Franchitti in the front row behind Kentucky's bench. "Kentucky basketball has gone down through the generations and my uncle used to take me down to Lexington to see games and my dad and I would always go over the stat sheets. It's always been about family for me."

The 2015 Clark University facebook page has gotten me in touch with so many people. I already have tons of friends who are making plans for the school year to hang out and stuff. There is a since of community which I have seen at very few other colleges (and I looked at a ton of colleges).
» Read MoreWith so many student clubs and activities going on, I have never been bored while at Clark. There is something to do every day of the week for every type of person, and if there wasn't, you could start a club and make something to do. On top of that, there are so many interesting and genuine people at Clark to hang out with, I have enjoyed meeting and being with them so much, and they are the people who really make the Clark experience.
» Read MoreI love it here. The professor's are incredible, the students are inspiring, and the environment is exactly what I needed to thrive. I have learned so much from the experiences I have had and that is worth just as much as what I have learned scholastically. Clark did more than give me the education I needed to succeed professionally - it gave me a passion for my work. With an incredibly active campus, I have been inspired to make a difference in the world. This is something I could not have gotten anywhere else.
» Read MoreI love Clark. I know this sounds cliche but I honestly can't see myself anywhere else. Clark is kind of an unknown little school so it was serendipitous that I even applied. Many of my other friends are unhappy at college, all based on different factors, and I feel truly blessed to have found such a great match. I felt at home here after only one day, and feel like I've lived here at least a year already when in reality, it's only been a semester. The people at Clark have really made it my home. I have such great friends that inspire me to challenge myself everyday.

When you can't mix them. My wife and I are and oddity in this regard. I was a flaming lib when we met; she was laregly apolitical(perhaps non-practicing conservative would be another way to put it). She held conservative beliefs but didn't follow politics all that closely. We met as I was beginning my transition to conservatism. So I have a difficult time relating to this.
But I do know several couples right now who are divided ideologically, but happily married. For the life of me, I can't figure this out. The husand in one of these couples often jokes about making sure to vote and cancel out his wife's vote. If I didn't do what I do, I don't know that my wife and I would even talk politics as much as we do.
Obviously there is a lot more to a loving marriage than sharing an ideology. But I'm pretty sure that if I were in a place in my life where I was dating, that I too would probably seek out conservatives only.

Also, reading everything you wrote about Harden just now gave my mind an erection. If he puts up a 25-5-5 type season, I'm going to buy my first Rockets jersey since my Olajuwon jersey when I was 10.

Friday, around 9:30 in the morning, local churches will join others across the nation in ringing their bells 26 times — once each for the 26 people killed last week at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. — followed by a moment of silence in their memory.
Afterward, if not in the church sanctuaries, through much of the rest of the nation the debate will rage on regarding guns and violence in American society.
With this latest shooting, in some ways the most awful in memory given the victims were mostly 6- and 7-year-olds, the call for gun control rings out across the land, as if the answer to the problem of violent deaths in the United States is to do away with all guns.
Try and have a reasoned discussion with those calling for tighter gun controls and most will quickly fall to impassioned, even angry, arguments. That's understandable. In light of what happened at Sandy Hook, emotions are high. We believe nearly everyone would gladly give up their guns if guaranteed mass killings would go away, if no more children would be killed by madmen.
But that is simply not going to happen — evil people will find ways to kill. Consider:
- On the same day of the shooting at Sandy Hook, 22 children and one adult were injured in a knife attack at a school in central China. Over the past two years there have been a series of such attacks in China, including one in which a man stabbed 28 school children — most 4-years-old — and another in which eight children were murdered in a mass stabbing attack. The day the perpetrator of that attack was executed, another man attacked and injured 16 students and a teacher.
- In 1996, Timmy McVeigh killed 168 people, including 19 children age 5 or younger, in Oklahoma City with a home-made bomb he and Terry Nichols made from easily accessible material.
- Derrick Bird killed 12 people and injured 11 others in Cumbria, England, in 2010, a nation with some of the tightest gun control laws in the world.
- In 2011, a gunman in Norway killed 92 people in a rampage. Again, a nation with stringent gun control laws.
These are but a handful of examples which show even with strict gun control laws, people will kill, and kill widely, whether they find ways to circumvent the laws and illegally acquire firearms or they choose another form of weapon.
We also can point out that mass murders in the United States have not increased in recent years, according to criminologist James Allen Fox of Boston's Northeastern University (though we understand the perception that they have, given the ad nauseum reporting by broadcast media, saying the same thing over and over for days after attacks).
In fact, Grant Duwe, a criminologist with the Minnesota Department of Corrections who has written a history of mass murders in America, said mass murders in America have been on the decline for the past decade. Most surprising, he said mass murders in the nation peaked in 1929 (that is no misprint).
That's not to say gun control should be overlooked. We can't think of a single rational explanation for allowing assault weapons on the street, or even automatic weapons. Because guns are legal doesn't mean all firearms should be legal. And it seems that while the total number of mass murders might be down, the number of people killed in them seems to be larger and more tragic.
So what's our point?
That it does no one any good to point fingers at gun owners and say they are evil, or call the NRA a terrorist group or vilify this lobbying organization, any more than it's productive to ignore the very real need for a thorough examination of gun laws in the United States and, perhaps, outlawing certain types of guns.
The loss at Sandy Hook is a tragedy beyond measure, and nothing that happens in the debate can touch the loss that community will contend with for decades to come.
It would be another tragedy, albeit of a smaller and less personal nature, if knee-jerk reactions carry the day.
Let's have a reasoned, rational discussion, and do away with the emotional, shrill squealing coming from both sides of the issue.
