Assisted suicide is about the haves and have-nots. Dignitas is making a fortune out of the haves
There's a cushy living to be made out of assisted suicide. One man, Ludwig Minelli, is living proof of it: he is alleged to have done well out of his Dignitas clinic, where, for $10,000, someone who is terminally ill can be helped to die by their "loved one". Minelli is based in Switzerland, but sadly his tentacles reach us here: more than 100 Britons already have flown to the clinic in Zurich to be put out of their misery with the help of a partner or relative.
Only a particular kind of person would opt for the Dignitas exit — and I'm not referring (necessarily) to a Dawkins-reading, Pope-baiting atheist. As I argue in my pamphlet on assisted suicide (you can read it here) the issue of assisted suicide is not a religious one: lots of believers feel assisted suicide is a compassionate option while there are many non-believers who argue that it is tantamount to an unworthy defeatism. Of the 97 debates that have been held in Parliament on the issue, only six were initiated by bishops.
Assisted suicide is not about heaven and hell but about the haves and have-nots. The person who packs their bags for Dignitas (no need for a toothbrush: the whole procedure takes only a couple of hours) is likely to belong to the well-educated, articulate elite who are addicted to choice and who view assisted suicide as the ultimate consumer choice. They want to stage-manage their death as they have stage-managed every other aspect of their lives, from childbirth through marriage to divorce.
This elite are not easily pushed around; they know the system and how to manipulate it. The law that criminalises assisted suicide should not be changed to cater for them. It should continue to protect the have-nots – and they are the great majority – who do not know how to defend themselves against pressure. That pressure might come from a family that risks financial ruin in nursing for them, or from a carer exhausted because of years spent looking after a severely disabled or elderly patient. "I don't want to be a burden" is their refrain, and the have-nots feel it about the health and social services, too. Nothing easier than playing on their feelings of guilt and worthlessness to push them to a premature death.
This is why the present law focuses on the motives of those who assist suicide: someone has to protect the vulnerable from ending their lives simply because it is in someone else's interest. Crucially, the law does not grant automatic immunity from prosecution on the basis of the patient's condition. Inoperable cancer, a severe disability, old age: none are, of themselves, a reason for assisted suicide. If this were to be reversed, think of the message that we would be sending those with these conditions: frankly, my dear, your life ain't worth living.
But the present law does have a big drawback. It prompts a certain elite to fly off to Zurich and line Ludwig Minelli's pockets. That is a dismal prospect – all the more so now that he proposes to extend his clinic's death services to the healthy partners accompanying their loved ones on their final journey. Perhaps he'll make them a "two for the price of one" offer – but I wouldn't count on it.
Mercenaries are men who, for a tidy sum, will wage battle against anyone. We can coin a new term, "Minellis", for someone who, for $10,000 or so, will assist anyone's suicide.

How to Manage PestsIdentification: Weed Photo Gallery
Field bindweedScientific name: Convolvulus arvensis (Morningglory Family: Convolvulaceae)Click on image to enlarge Field bindweed, a perennial broadleaf, is considered one of the most problematic weeds in agricultural fields throughout temperate regions worldwide. It is abundant throughout California and grows up to an elevation of about 5000 feet (1500 m). Field bindweed is troublesome in many crops, but particularly difficult in potatoes, beans, and cereals. It can harbor the viruses that cause potato X disease, tomato spotted wilt, and vaccinium false bottom. SeedlingThe cotyledons (seed leaves) are nearly square, with a shallow notch at the tip. The seedling looks similar to morningglory seedlings, but are much smaller and less deeply notched. Sprouts from underground horizontal stems (rhizomes) are similar to seedlings, but lack cotyledons. Early true leaves are spade or bell shaped. Mature plantLeaves of the mature plant look similar to those of the younger plant, but they are lobed at the base. Leaves are attached to flattened stalks that are grooved on the upper surface. Stems grow to several feet long. They trail along the ground or climb on upright plants such as shrubs. Wild buckwheat trailing stems are often mistaken for those of field bindweed. FlowerFlowers bloom from April through October or until the first frost. They are trumpet-shaped and white to purplish white. Flowers close each afternoon and reopen the following day. ReproductionField bindweed spreads from both seed and an extensive underground horizontal stems (rhizomes). Related species/Similar looking plantsMore information

The guidelines to follow when buying a used RV are similar to those present in any other big-ticket purchase, with most based in assuring a consumer that their purchase price will be validated with years of good use. There is always a bit of added concern when buying a used RV for the simple reason that there are so many areas in which things can go wrong that a consumer can never be totally certain that their purchase is a wise one. The basic guidelines for buying a used RV are for a buyer to pay close attention to every detail of the condition of the purchase, including aspects that are implied by the seller verbally.
When buying a used RV it is important to perform a bumper-to-bumper check of the condition of the vehicle, beginning with the RV's engine and body. Most people in the process of buying a used RV approach the sale backwards - they start with the interior and look at the exterior last. However, if an RV is mechanically unsound the features of the interior are a moot point in the sale, because the main idea of the RV lifestyle is to travel without constant mechanical failures. The inspection of a used RV's engine and body are best left to a professional mechanic who can make a fair assessment for a minimal price. It is imperative to question a mechanic's view of the RV with inquiries on the cost of necessary repairs, as this may immediately exclude a specific used RV from your list of possible purchases.
On the interior, the guidelines to follow when buying a used RV should be to check each and every interior function to make certain they are all in good working order. Regardless of the time of year, the furnace and air conditioner should be turned on to make certain they are both operational. All of the plumbing features of the RV require inspection - sinks, toilets and showers should be used briefly in rapid succession to ensure there are no issues. Every switch, button and knob on the RV's inside should be examined closely,as their failure may spell larger and more costly repairs in the near future.
It is important to remember that not all RV repairs can be completed personally, even by someone with strong mechanical skills. While there will certainly be some minor repairs that will be necessary when buying a used RV, the main idea is to avoid a bevy of $100 to $200 repairs that can add up quickly to thousands of dollars.

The Thermal Paper Bandits, I call them. I took over managing my husband's practice after beeing embesseled by the previous office manager. I inherited some of her bad choices of companies she dealt with. My records go back to 2009 in which supposedly the previous employee had made an agreement with All Phase Business Supplies Inc. for the purchase of a large quantity of thermal paper for the verifone credit card machine. (You might skip to the end now) I paid an invoice in 2009 for $217.21. In 2010 after dismissing the manager I agreed to a purchase which I believed would finalize our agreement for $231.29. In 2012 after turning down numerous attempts at shipment authorizations from All Phase
I again was told by the All Phase's account receivables customer service representative, that if I agreed to a final shipment of 16 rolls and paid the $232.37 balance she would finalize our balance of rolls agreed upon back in 2009. I paid the invoice in January of 2013. The shipment arrived and I still had plenty of paper left, as we do not get a lot of credit card payments. February I get a call from the sales department telling me "I don't lie ma'm" that the shipment had not been complete and as busy as I was, I authorized the shipment. Within a few days a received an Invoice which said FINAL FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011-2012 for the amount of $232.91 due on March 28, 2013.
I innocently thought that payment had not been posted yet, as I had just paid $232.37. A .54 cent difference which I did not notice at a quick glance. I ignored the bill and March 20, 8 days before the invoice was due they sent a statement which at this time made me angry as I realized that there was no mistake, this company relies on a salesman that tricks, lies, connives and will hang-up on you if you comfront him with his deceitful approach. This company's salesperson, the same one, would call over and over again taking up time from my staff implying that it was something that I was not addressing. Messages, over and over again through the answering service, through the front office staff, the back office staff, messages on my machine, all allegating to something that the "Office Manager" needs to address.
It is implied that the agreement was made and obviously it wasn't you, but yet you have to honor it. By the time you realize you've been swindled the 10 day return policy has gone by and when you complain they point to the back of the invoice and tell you to there is a "restocking fee" for returned merchandise. You know if you return it, they will never credit you, loose the merchandise and you still have to pay for it. So you keep it. I even erronously received an invoice inteded for another doctor's office for a much higher sum. In my anger I turned to the internet and googled the company much to my surprise to see at the very top several RipOff Reports. I guess missery loves company. The moral of the story is if you are running a small business, don't be intimidated by fast talking salespeople. They will always be out there, but just say NO THANK YOU and hang up.

World Athletics 2013 review: Bolt, Farah, Isinbayeva and empty seats
When sprint superstar Usain Bolt rates an event as "a seven out of 10" and "not the best" it is fair to say it is not considered an overwhelming success.
The 2013 World Athletics Championships may be remembered as much for the empty seats and rows over Russia's gay propaganda laws as the stunning performances of Mo Farah, Usain Bolt and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
While Christine Ohuruogu was digging deep to win 400m gold, Russian darling Yelena Isinbayeva caused controversy with her comments on homosexuality.
Here, with the help of 1983 1500m champion Steve Cram, BBC Sport looks back and assesses the action at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium, including how Britain got on.
How did the world's top stars do?
The Lightning Bolt struck in Moscow, Usain Bolt once again confirming his dominance over the men's sprints, particularly with the suspended Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay absent.
He was joined in sprinting supremacy by Jamaican compatriot Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who completed her own 100m-200m double as 200m queen Alyson Felix had to be carried from the track.
Ukraine's Bohdan Bondarenko won a sensational high jump final, Kenyan Edna Kiplagat became the first woman to retain a marathon world title and Yelena Isinbayeva delighted her home fans in the pole vault.
Cram: "On the track, there were outstanding moments and great races and when the atmosphere finally got going there were some great nights.
"It was important that someone set the championships alight and Yelena Isinbayeva did that when she won pole vault gold on the fourth day.
"There were quite a few athletes who weren't here, there were quite a few athletes who were but didn't perform well, such as Allyson Felix. In Ukraine's Bohdan Bondarenko we probably witnessed the start of his domination of the high jump."
Russian row
Isinbayeva may have given Moscow its 'Super Saturday' moment, but it was her comments on homosexuality that produced more headlines.
Isinbayeva criticised athletes competing at the World Championships in Moscow for supporting gay rights and defended a controversial Russian law that makes it illegal to promote homosexuality to under-18s.
She later claimed that her comments had been "misunderstood".
Denise Lewis, 2000 Olympic heptathlon champion: "She's clearly not in touch with rest of the world.
"I'm surprised she was not advised against throwing her views out there. It's clearly very damaging for her as a global figure."
Eight-time world champion Michael Johnson: "She's very popular here with a group of very powerful people that probably support that political position.
"She's playing to her own interests. She knows that she can go back to a very powerful, very wealthy group of people that will support her in future. It's very flawed judgement."
Some big-name Britons delivered...
As the Olympic 10,000m and 5,000m champion, Mo Farah arrived in Moscow wanting to achieve the double that eluded him in Daegu two years earlier.
A dominant Farah did just that, becoming only the second man in history to achieve the 'double-double' to win both long-distance crowns at the Olympics and the World Championships.
But it was the characteristically gritty performance of Christine Ohuruogu that was perhaps more impressive. Fourth around the final bend in the 400m final, the GB team captain came through in a photo finish to become the first British female to win two World Championship titles.
Cram: "In normal circumstances, I would pick Mo Farah's twin success as the week's highlight but, as a commentator and a British athletics fan, that was a fantastic last 20 metres of drama from Christine Ohuruogu in the 400m final. Gold for Christine seemed impossible.
"Christine is a fantastic example to other athletes in the team and I'm not sure she gets the praise, or has the status within British sport, she deserves and, therefore, becoming world champion might help that process of recognition.
"You won't find a more popular or respected team captain than Christine. She's done brilliantly well and I'm so pleased the season has gone the way it has done for her. "
..and some didn't...

Robbed of the services of Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill, Team GB looked to the likes of Greg Rutherford and Perri Shakes-Drayton for further medal success.
But Olympic long jump gold medal winner Rutherford, his preparations hampered by a hamstring injury, failed to qualify for the final, while Shakes-Drayton was seventh in the 400m hurdles final.
Injury-hit Dai Greene was not expected to defend his 400m hurdles title and failed to reach the final, while Robbie Grabarz, the Olympic high jump bronze medallist, said fitness problems left him happy just to have made the final.
Cram: "We had disappointments with Shakes-Drayton failing to win a medal in the 400m hurdles, Shara Proctor not finishing in the top three in the long jump and Greg Rutherford not being fit enough to contest in the men's long jump, but you always have ups and downs in championships.
"One of the issues I'm more concerned about is the lack of British presence in quite a few races, particularly from 800m through to the marathon. I don't see any reason why we can't produce, as we have done in the past, athletes to compete in those events.
"Not to be too nostalgic, but 30 years ago we had 23 top-eight performances, of which two were relays. We don't have anything like that number coming in the top eight anymore.
"Have we moved on? The answer is probably no. I'm concerned over the endurance side because if you took Mo Farah out of the equation it would look sparse."
...but the future is bright
The 2013 World Championships may well be remembered as the breakthrough moment for a number of exciting British prospects.
Adam Gemili, Katrina Johnson-Thompson and Chris O'Hare all made a first mark on the world stage, with Gemili and O'Hare making their finals and Johnson-Thompson taking fifth place.
Gemili became only the second Briton in history to dip under 20 seconds in the 200m with a time of 19.98s. Johnson-Thompson finished fifth in the heptathlon, setting four personal bests in the seven events. O'Hare qualified fourth fastest for the 1500m final after a storming run.
UK Athletics performance director Neil Black: "We can see where the future medals are coming from.
"That enormous potential development in a post-Olympic year demonstrates that we're in a good place. We feel like there's work to do, but we're in a good place."
Target met. Just.
The 4x100m relay bronze medal hokey cokey had Britain hitting, missing, then finally hitting their minimum target of six medals.
With the men disqualified, the promotion of the women to bronze added to the third places taken by the women's 4x400m relay team and Tiffany Porter in the women's 110m hurdles.
Six medals was also the athletics haul at London 2012, while at the last World Championships in 2011, Great Britain got seven.
Black: "It's been a transitional year following a home Olympics. We're happy with six medals, that target was something we were comfortable with.
"The absence of Jessica Ennis-Hill and the injury to Greg Rutherford are relevant and significant to the final medal tally.
"The achievements of Christine Ohuruogu and Mo Farah were incredible, but we're really positive about the work being done by our relay squads and Tiffany Porter finally getting into the medal zone."
How good was it?
The World Championships were largely contested in a sparsely populated Luzhniki Stadium, the silence a world away from the carnival atmosphere of the London 2012 Olympics.
According to Bolt, the championships were "a seven out of 10", with athletics' biggest star going on to say that a lack of capacity crowds led him to believe that the event had "not been the best".
Bolt said: "It's been a different championships. It's not the best. But I think over the days, it got better.
"There were much more people in the stands, so for me it is really picked up in the end, but the start wasn't that good. So I have to say a seven."
Cram: "The final weekend, which was sold out, was good, as was Tuesday night when Isinbayeva became world champion but, generally, if you're going to hold an athletics event in a big stadium like the Luzhniki you want it to be full most of the time.
"When the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) award the World Championships to a city then, yes, you want to break new ground, but they also need to bear in mind that the World Championships is their showcase event and lots of empty seats don't look good on television."

21st August 2013 - 14:01This pading yourself on the shoulder because of London 2012 starts to get on my nerves. Two different events you can't compare on is the Olympics (only every 4 years). If you want to compare 2013 Moscow compare it to 2011 Daigu. And 2013 Moscow definitely was better except than 2011 overall also from a crowd perspective. Only the TV coverage was better mostly because no annoying Gabby Logan

Completely agree with you. Apart from Michael Johnson, the BBC coverage is execrable nonsense nowadays, and far more prone to cheerleading than it used to be. They were far better in the 1980s and 1990s. I think they need to get the likes of David Moorcroft back to try and regain some dignity in the way they cover athletics. -

21st August 2013 - 11:29I find Steve carams comments regarding Alison Felix totally without foundation.She got injured in the final so wasn't able to complete the race.
Comment number 207.
21st August 2013 - 7:10I have been a huge fan and ex amateur athlete, but can't understand why the British relay ( 4 x 100mtrs) teams, don't perform well in championships 6/7 failed to finish/dropped batons/ran out of lane etc. Relay coaches please fix this.
Also, Moscow 2013 wasn't the best. In my memory Stuttgart was the best. London 2017 needs to show how it can be done. -

At 19 Usain Bolt finished 8th in the 2005 WC final, his best time in qualifying 20.68. Adam Gemeli managed 5th & 19.98
Katarina Johnson-Thopmson getting 5th at 20 was ridiculous.
Jessica Judd getting A standard at 18 brilliant.
Dina Asher Smith, bronze at 17.
Just a few.
Holly Bleasedale & others not even there.
Loads of talent for the future, worry not.

Cyber threats against U.S. "ramping up," Obama says
By Susan Heavey WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Cyber security threats against the United States are growing, President Barack Obama said before a meeting on Wednesday with corporate leaders about the issue, as concerns rise about hacking attacks emanating from China. Speaking in a television interview, Obama stopped short of echoing concerns expressed by some lawmakers that the United States was engaged in some kind of electronic war with China. "You always have to be careful with war analogies … …

If you're trying to sell a product or service to a government agency--local, state, or federal--be aware that bidding is the rule. That in itself need not put you off. The problem is that the officials who write bid specifications and award contracts take their time and hide behind complicated forms.

Don't ask Kenny Chesney about his plans, unless you've got a while to listen.
Chesney is a four-time Country Music Association entertainer of the year and the most popular touring act of country music's still-new century, but the ability to fill 60,000-seat NFL stadiums hasn't coincided with an ability to delegate. For a guy who sings mondo-popular songs about beachside relaxation, he's not all that good at relaxing. For a guy who sings about living in the moment, he spends an awful lot of time scheming about pending moments.
He can tell you how next year's stage show will differ from this year's. He can tell you about planned musical shifts, about crafting a new blended rum called Blue Chair Bay, and about how the Tennessee football team can shore up its porous defense.
He thinks about this stuff, and other stuff, too. If the devil's in the details, Chesney knows him well.

Finally, 50 minutes back to base and a snooze to avoid the tacky Country and Western music the "Operations Manager" played for our enjoyment (?). It was supposed to be Quiz Night after supper, so we treated ourselves to the pork stew and (s)mash or the ubiquitous tuna with purported salad. We waited patiently for the quiz to start - sadly (happily) it never ...
Freezing lights

The newer equipment looks very swish and hi-tech, whereas those lumbered with the old equipment looked as if they had a Woolies plastic tennis racquet stuck to their foot. On firm snow and well worn tracks ambulation was straightforward if a little awkward. Soon, however, our rep took us off-piste into the thicker virgin stuff and then mayhem started. The unathletic swooned and collapsed into deep snow at a regular rhythm and then floundered like ...

Another of the diminishing bottles of red and more abusive Uno to round off the day. Welcome sleep.
It's Tuesday morning in the local caf� with wifi. Just to let you know it was -23 this morning. You learn the true meaning of "nippy" and an explanation of crystals in the nostrils!
Santa's little pets
... Aside from the odd stuck snowmobile we had no dramatic spills to record!
The sky had by now clouded over and the Lights had gone. We were glad to be heading back to the warmth of Rabbit Hutch Central and a welcome beverage. It is quite remarkable how the combination of fresh, freezing air in bright sunshine can make you weary. The rosy-cheek glow is small compensation, but the sleep is very welcome. Two nights in a row for the Northern Lights! A novel and memorable ...

A welcome tea and coffee break followed by a short snooze for the geriatrics and then lunch in the petrol station caf� where "Wifi is free". Free it may be, but reliable it isn't.

text: The Eastern Regional High School InvenTeam invented the Maji Drum, which brings together filters, ultraviolet lights, and a bicycle to provide communities with potable water and storage at a cost of about $100 per 1000 units. Using an adaptable mount with a high voltage motor attached to a flywheel, users can generate a consistent source of energy with the ergonomic custom bicycle mount system. The system pre-filters the water, exposes it to ultraviolet light, and stores it inside the drum at a rate of 4 L per min.

There's a push to change the way appointments are made to the University of Virginia Board of Visitors....and a new study gives Virginia a less than sparkling grade for making health care readily available to low income residents. Stories about both were among the most clicked this past week at the Virginia Public Access Project's VaNews link.
U.S. Senator Mark Warner says Congress could learn a thing or two from Phyllis Galanti, the wife of former Vietnam War POW Paul Galanti. She was honored Friday during a Virginia War Memorial ceremony … where she spoke about how she remained steadfast in her resolve while her husband was gone for seven-and-a-half years. Warner weighed in on the latest dust-up in Washington.
By the end of this year, California must release 9,600 prisoners from the nation's largest correctional system, because the Supreme Court says overcrowding makes it impossible to provide adequate healthcare for inmates.
Failing to do so constitutes cruel and unusual punishment - a violation of the U.S. Constitution. Virginia's prisons are also crowded and facing a lawsuit over medical care that will be heard this spring, but on other reasons for change in the Commonwealth's correctional centers.

From sleek looks to fancy updos, the stylists at Elena's Beauty Salon transform hair into beautiful new styles. Keratin treatments eradicate frizz, infusing manes with keratin proteins for shinier, sleeker styles, whereas partial highlights add new dimension to strands with pops of color. The team of beauty experts also preps coifs for special events, such as weddings, with intricate updos or curls. In addition, the bilingual salon offers nailcare services.
Each member of Stript Wax Bar's staff specializes in waxing, using top-shelf waxing products and artful technique to efficiently strip away hair. Technicians ensure cleanliness through a strict no-double-dipping policy, clearing away hair as guests lounge in soothing environs.
As with any other modern-day clinical procedure, aesthetic laser treatments tend to yield the best results when administered and supervised by specialists. That's why Go Laser's licensed electrolysis staff and certified laser technicians work under the medical direction of Dr. Diana E. Vargas. Harnessing the power of the GentleMax laser, techs can help clients zap off unwanted hairs, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes, and treat varicose veins. Since the laser treatments only emit noninvasive light energy, patients generally only feel a tingling sensation on their skin similar to that of a snapping rubber band or break-dancing fairy.
The Great Clips empire spans more than 3,000 salons across North America, where a collective of over 30,000 stylists wait, ready to tend to hairstyles. At these salons, no appointments are necessary—though an online check-in system aids those who wish to skip any potential lines by adding their names directly to the haircut queue. And to aid their new hairstyles, customers can peruse a line of gels, conditioners, pomades, and tea-tree oil shampoos and body washes.
Inside any of Hairdoctors Specialty Salons' five full-service locations, skilled aestheticians treat hair and nails with a range of pharmaceutical and natural services. They trim and style hair, perform keratin treatments, and color strands using crayons or ammonia-free dyes and cellophanes. The staff's work extends beyond hair services via manicures and pedicures. Aestheticians also add to clients' existing hair with extensions—strands made from Remy or virgin Indian human hair and attached to scalps via weaving, taping, fusion, or gluing. Hairdoctors Specialty Salons also posts informative hair-extension FAQs on its website.
Ever since small business stopped advertising on fingernails, people have been searching for a way to keep them looking spiffy. That's where Diva owner Evelyn Calderon comes in. She and her staff of expert technicians meticulously decorate finger and toe billboards with a wide array of nail techniques. Salon guests may also request an invigorating facial or banish unwanted hair from eyebrows with a specialty waxing session.

Pampa, TX - New evidence has been presented after three days of the murder trial of Joshua Rigo, an Amarillo man accused of killing a Lefors woman. Evidence presented by a Texas Ranger involved in the investigation reveals blood evidence on some of Rigo's clothing. Prosecutors say there was blood on Rigo's pants, another spot on his boots and a third spot on one of his socks, which positively matched DNA from murder victim Kristi Slatten. Working with our media partners, the Pampa News, we were able to see that testimony also revealed that on January 1st, Rigo called his ex-wife to say that he loved his daughter and may never be able to ever see her again. Rigo made a similar call to his sister in Nebraska. Rigo's father, Daniel also testified, saying his son had called wanting to bring some guns and knives over, for a Christmas gift. The District Attorney later pointed out the guns were taken from Slatten's home.Other evidence, like Slatten's underwear being found in Rigo's pocket, and Rigo being pulled over driving Slatten's car were also presented. According to autopsy results, Slatten was beaten and strangled. The defense is expected to present it's case on Thursday. Colleen Nelson, NewsChannel 10.

Is weight gain a pure result of excess stress? The makers of Relacore seems to think so. Relacore is a product produced and marketed by Basic Research addressing the issue of cortisol as it relates to body fat. Relacore features the use of Magnolia bark. Although not completely accurate that cortisol is related to stress hormones in the body can account for glucose metabolism. This may be the reason why that those that are stressed out tend to gain body fat. However, it is not the main reason for weight gain and body fat increases. Our research shows that Relacore's formula features Magnolia bark which has been linked to combat anxiety, but the only problem is that there is no scientific evidence to confirm this in clinical studies. We have seen that the Magnolol and Honokiol chemicals found in magnolia bark can have anti-anxiety effects. But, the majority of weight loss and fat burning will not take place just because of possibly reducing anxiety. In fact, the FTC agree as they have warned several similar companies for making false and unsubstantiated claims. We feel that consumers should beware of their "free trial offers" that sign you up for expensive monthly orders.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Brothers itself -- a smart, well-meaning project -- never quite pulls itself together.
Fresh: Sheridan and Maguire orchestrate things perfectly here, running a line of tension through the film that explodes at the end, just as it should.
Fresh: Brothers is that rare type of film; one that feels real and true, never forcing itself to conform to the expectations of what a movie should contain.
Fresh: If you like drama with big showdowns and plenty of heartbreak, there's plenty to enjoy here.
Customer Reviews
Brothers is a film that seems to end once it seems to be rising to its full potential of power. This isn't a good thing... Don't get me wrong, the movie itself had a powerful performance by Toby, but it seemed near pointless. By the films end you get a sense of time wasted and wish it would have continued on for another hour or so as to let the story progress as it should have throughout the duration of the film. It's a pretty shot movie that gets to the point and sticks to it...it doesn't attempt to stray from its intended motive and doesn't intend to dig any deeper than one character. Not all the characters are believable but it tries to convince us that they are. This isn't a perfect movie and isn't a complete waste of time, but it really could have developed more than it did. A rental at best...
INCREDIBLE. It made you appreciate life. My friend and I saw it and when we came out of the theatre we were both crying, went up to our dads and hugged them. We both promised to buy it right when it came out which I never do but it was just too good not to.
A story that will haunt you.
A realistic story of a POW with post tramatic stress and how it affects his family. The choices he has to make are chilling and the torment and horror leaves you with wonder on what you would do if it had been you. A great film that you will be talking about long after it's over.

What's asynchrony good for?
In my previous post, "Tasked to get Results", I covered the use of DReAM's Result
and the TPL's Task
as waithandles for asynchronously completed work. Except that all examples dealt with blocking behavior to await the completion of the other task, which made the async illustration rather academic.
Blocking for async work does have its applications. The canonical example being a controlling thread firing off a number of workers and waiting for all of them to complete to gather the results. For implementing this example, Task
and Result
can be thought of as convenient alternatives to WaitHandle.WaitAll()
or Thread.Join()
or EndInvoke()
// Summing up Results var results = new List>(); for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) { results.Add(SomeAsyncWork(i)); } var total = results.Sum(x => x.Wait()); // Summing up Tasks var tasks = new List >(); for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) { tasks.Add(SomeMoreAsyncWork(i)); } var total = tasks.Sum(x => x.Result);
Both rely on implicit blocking behavior to perform the summation. We could just as easily have explicitly waited on all the handles with C#5.0 AsyncCtp's TaskEx.WhenAll()
or DReAM's Result.Join()
, and then summed the results. One interesting feature to keep in mind about the join constructs in TPL and DReAM is that both return synchronization handles themselves. I'll explain why this is useful in the next article. Either way though, our main thread was blocked until the workers completed.
Finding opportunities for asynchrony
The parallel worker example is a great way to show the power of Task
and Result
for managing many workers, but in itself is not asynchronous. Asynchrony implies that we do not block waiting for work to complete, whereas the above example explicilty blocks the main thread. Asynchronous behavior may be combined with parallelism to manage resources better, but asynchronous behavior does not mean that we are performing the work in parallel. Quite the opposite, the primary goal of asynchrony is to suspend the caller until the asynchronous operation has completed. This means that most asynchronous workflows are inherently serial even if the steps executed may happen on different threads.
To properly show the benefits of asynchrony let's use something that we deal with every day and is inherently asynchronous: I/O – Whenver we are reading from or writing to a file, making a database call or calling a webservice we are making an I/O request and waiting for the response. We don't think of I/O as asynchronous because most I/O APIs have exposed these operations as synchronous method calls, i.e. they block the thread while waiting for the out-of-context operation to complete:
var command = new SqlCommand( "SELECT CategoryID, CategoryName FROM Categories;", connection); // Blocking! connection.Open(); //Blocking! var reader = command.ExecuteReader(); // Blocking! while(reader.Read()) { // read row } reader.Close();
Most of time, we don't even interact with a DB at this low level, but that doesn't change the fact that in order to get data back from the database, we have to:
- Open a socket to the DB and wait for the connection to be established
- Send our SQL and wait to for a cursor to become readable
- Iterate over the cursor and wait for data to be sent
Each operation sends data over the wire and waits on a response. That waiting time is blocking the current thread.
Why so slow, I/O?
Most I/O operations are quite fast, and much of our optimization work relates to reducing the times of database queries, file reads and web service calls to the single digit milliseconds. However, compared to in-process memory access, which is measured in microseconds, even the best optimized I/O operation is orders of magnitude slower. Every time we treat I/O as synchronous we rely on thread scheduling to utilize the CPU time not utilized by the blocking thread, which in turn costs us in thread context switching and memory footprint.
But we've been doing this for ages and it hasn't been a problem, right? What's changed?
For one thing, it has actually been a problem and for the most part, we've just been throwing larger and larger machines at our server clusters to make up for the resource wastes committed. But all the optimization of I/O aside, in the real world we will always encounter the occasional slow DB query, file read/write blocked by a lock and web service request over a congested network.
…and after you are done with that, could you do this?
Using an asynchronous approach provides a way to mitigate this in-process vs. I/O operation speed differential and stop blocking our threads. What we want is to be notified when the asynchronous operation has completed. While most I/O APIs provide some type of asynchronous calling convention (ADO.NET only provides it on the Execute*
members), Task
and Result
provide a unifying interface for all operations and a way to handle the continuation of work in a non-blocking form in a much simpler way:
// Result connection.Open(); Async.From(command.BeginExecuteReader, command.EndExecuteReader, null, new Result()) .WhenDone( result => { var reader = result.Value; while(reader.Read()) { // read row } reader.Close(); } ); // Task connection.Open(); Task.Factory.FromAsync (command.BeginExecuteReader, command.EndExecuteReader,null) .ContinueWith( task => { var reader = task.Result; while(reader.Read()) { // read row } reader.Close(); } );
The above introduces the continuation constructs Result.WhenDone
and Task.ContinueWith
, which allow us to chain operations to execute in the context of the asynchronous method's callback. Both Result
and Task
provide a way to convert the standard Begin*/End*
pattern from any API into Result
, which we can then attach a continuation to. I should note that in the C#5.0 AsyncCtp Microsoft has added Extension Methods for virtually all Microsoft async patterns to further simplify invocation.
Next time, we'll take a look at a more complex workflow using the continuation passing style possible with Result.WhenDone
and Task.ContinueWith
and what complications it may introduce.
MindTouch Coroutines and C#5.0 async
This week, at PDC 2010, Anders Hejlsberg introduced what is to become C# 5.0 and it's major new feature: Making Async easy. The main facility for achieving this goal is the language keyword pair or async
and await
. Together they allow synchronous methods to be called in an asynchronous way without having to jump through all sorts of hoops.
This is very exciting stuff for us here at MindTouch, since we've built almost exactly that facility with our Asynchronous Method Pattern and Coroutine infrastructure in DReAM. But the one thing that has always bothered us what the additional manual code and sometimes unintuitive syntax required.
The Result and Task based asynchronous patterns
Steve Bjorg introduced Result<T>
with DReAM on top of the .NET 2.0 and mono 1.1.16 back in 2006. You can find a quick overview of it here. I've also covered it extensively in my monoconf talk. It's is similar in purpose to the Task
class in the Task Parallel Library introduced by Microsoft in .NET 4.0. Both of them are a kind of future, a handle for a value that may or may not have been produced yet. Both provide asynchrony patterns for easily calling a method that promises to produce a result eventually.
The MindTouch Asynchronous Method Pattern (AMP) takes this form:
Result<T> MethodName(...input paramaters..., Result<T> result)
where the trailing Result<T>
is used to set up conditions on the return value, such as Timeout.
The Task-based Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) looks like this:
Task<T> MethodNameAsync(...input paramaters...)
Both are easy enough to call in blocking form, but that defeats their purpose. Both could also be set up with continuation handles, which get executed once a value T
is available, but that takes the return code out of the current flow. And as completions call other asynchronous methods, your code just wanders off the right-hand side of the screen. This is common problem with continuations and is both a aesthetic and readability problem, in that your logically linear (if non-blocking) execution flow becomes increasingly difficult to follow.
Simplifying async flow with MindTouch Coroutines
What would be really nice is being able to call an asynchronous method and write the code that deals with the result on the next line, while simultaneously having your code suspend itself, freeing up your thread while the asynchronous code completes.
One way to approach this is with coroutines, i.e. a method that can exit and resume multiple times, rather having only one entry point. A coroutine can yield control to the async method and resume after it completes. In .NET 2.0 the yield
operator was added to C# for the iterator pattern. If you turn the iterator pattern upside down, you end up with a method that yields not iteration results but continuations to some engine executing the control flow, i.e. MindTouch Coroutines:
Result<XDoc> r; yield return r = Download(uri, new Result<XDoc>); var doc = r.Value;
This provided us with the ability to write methods in synchronous style that could call to potentially long running asynchronous processes but continue their linear flow without ever blocking the thread. For a more detailed look at how coroutines are implemented check this article. However, the cost of achieving this came with some syntactic artifacts.
As illustrated above, we can't declare and assign the result type T in the yield return, hence the pre-declaration of Result<XDoc> r
and the trailing var doc = r.Value
. Three lines instead of one. In C# 3.0, using Lambdas, we reduced this to two lines:
XDoc doc; yield return doc = DownloadAndProcess(uri, new Result<XDoc>).Set(v => doc = v);
Another artifact is that a coroutine has to return an enumerator. We use IYield
, which Result
implements and coroutines require the return type IEnumerator<IYield>
and by convention use a Result<T>
as their last argument. That means coroutines can yield AMPs but are not AMPs themselves. As I stated above, a coroutine is an iterator turned upside down, yielding control to some executing engine. This means that every AMP that uses a coroutine can be written using this convention:
Result<XDoc> DownloadAndProcess(XUri uri, Result<XDoc> result) { return Coroutine.Invoke(DownloadAndProcess_Coroutine, uri, result); } IEnumerator<IYield> DownloadAndProcess_Coroutine(XUri uri, Result<XDoc> result) { XDoc doc; yield return Plug.New(uri).Get(new Result<DreamMessage>) .Set(v => doc = v.ToDocument()); // do some more async work result.Return(doc); }
Note: I snuck in Plug
here, which is our fluent interface wrapper around HttpWebRequest
and implements the AMP, internally using the async interface of HttpWebRequest
, i.e. we can yield a Plug.Get
and it will resume execution once the request completes.
C# 5.0 async/wait continuation flow
With C# vNext, Microsoft introduces two new language keywords that basically let you create the same flow we provide via the AMP and Coroutines, but using Task
and leaving the syntactic cost to the compiler instead. This means that the TAP can be used without having to define a custom method with a different signature to execute the async work flow:
async Task<XDoc> DownloadAndProcess(XUri uri) { var doc = await Plug.New(uri).Get(); // do some more async work return doc; }
The async
keyword marks the method as one that the compiler needs to rewrite a sequence of continuations. The await
keyword tells the compiler that a TAP method is being called and to squirrel the rest of the method body into a continuation that is executed once the Task<XDoc>
has a result. Here the compiler takes on the work of letting you use a single method signature to call either as a regular method or as source of a continuation and rewrites a TAP call to yield execution flow and resume after completion. Using async/await
certainly reduces ceremony and makes it all more readable. We wish we could have had that luxury when we embarked on this pattern 4 years ago. Note: The above code pre-supposes a version of Plug
that implements the TAP instead of the AMP.
yield vs. await vs. something else
Shortly after Anders' PDC talk Eric Lippert posed the question whether await
is the best name for this new facility in the post Asynchronous Programming in C# 5.0 part two: Whence await? on his blog. The comment thread is a good read of arguments for and against various keywords. Personally being partial to yield
, I read Jon Skeet's case against it in his post C# 5 async and choosing terminology: why I'm against "yield" with interest. His point is that "[w]hen the action completes very quickly and synchronously, it isn't yielding at all." My personal feeling is that whether or not the call returns very quickly is an implementation detail invisible to the caller. The caller is yielding control to the callee, who makes the decision whether to return immediately or suspend the caller until completion.
However await
does seem like the least appropriate of the options, since we're really not waiting at all. Syntax like continue after
, continue with
and continue when
certainly seem more appropriate and descriptive of the action taking place. While yield return
perfectly describes to me what happens, maybe that is a sign the terminology reveals the implementation detail rather than the intent. The caller doesn't care about the yielding of control. The caller just wants the result from the call and get on with its business. So from a clarity of code perspective, I have to side with the continue (after|with|when)
When can I use async/await?
The CTP is available now. Of course, there is no release date, taking a gaming industry "when it's done!" stance. My bet is that async/await
will be usable in the next mono release (2.10? 3.0?) before C# 5.0 ships. Any way you look at it, though, it's going to be a while before you can rely on it existing on a platform you didn't personally configure.
In the meantime, DReAM coroutines are battle tested, powering all REST services in the MindTouch product and any other product using DReAM, and you can be sure that as C#5 approaches we will be tracking its progress closely to evaluate using the TAP in DReAM. We certainly would love to take advantage of the simplified syntax, while staying compatible with our existing syntax.
Generate .NET documentation with MindTouch 2010
If you write .NET code consumed by others, you are undoubtedly familiar with the inline XML documentation markup available. It's a fairly simple embedded documentation syntax for which Visual Studio even provides some Intellisense and compile time checking. It keeps documentation and signature meta-data that can be derived from the code separate to avoid drift between code and documentation as much as possible.
Most developers initially start using it to provide Intellisense support for their code. But sooner or later most will want to publish the documentation as a reference document for their APIs. This would seem like the ideal use case of the mark-up format, but once you starting looking at the available tools, most developers find them lacking. Originally, NDoc provided the equivalent documentation generation that javadoc provides to developers on the Java side. Unfortunately NDoc was discontinued before .NET 2.0. In its place there exist Microsoft's Sandcastle and mono's monodoc. And now mindtouch.doc has been added to that list.
The goal of mindtouch.doc was to generate hierarchical reference documentation that could easily be imported into an MindTouch install. Unlike the standalone documentation generated by other tools, documentation imported into MindTouch can be easily extended by the extensive authoring and curation capabilities of MindTouch, such as IDF. Instead of just statically generated reference documentation, documentation in MindTouch can be tagged, linked, mashed-up with all your other documentation, tutorials, etc., including the ability to involve your community in the further growth of your documentation.
We created mindtouch.doc to generate documentation for the DReAM Framework to be hosted on developer.mindtouch.com. The first task was to document all public classes in the framework using the .NET Xml comment docs:
With this in place, Visual Studio generates an XML document containing the meta-data from those comments. Using mindtouch.doc.exe, the code Assemblies along with their Documentation XML were converted into MindTouch import archives and imported into the site to produce documentation like this:
You can take a look at the MindTouch DReAM reference documentation to explore the entire generated documentation.
In addition to generating individual pages for each class, separate pages with Constructor, Property, Method and Event details are generates as child pages, along with Table of Content pages by Namespace and Assembly.
mindtouch.doc can generate documentation for an unlimited number of Assemblies at once. When the code to be documented is analyzed any references to any any class or member mentioned in the same or another assembly generates links between the relevant pages.
Since all content is imported as pages into MindTouch, you also get full revision history of past documentation imports (if the content has changed), so that documentation of newly added classes just requires a fresh import on top of the existing documentation.
Importing .NET documentation
If you want to try out the process, but don't have documented code handy, you can import the DReAM documentation into your own MindTouch instance with the following command:
mindtouch.doc.exe -h mydomain.com -I ref/Dream mindtouch.dream.dll mindtouch.core.dll
This will prompt you for your user and password and import the documentation in ref/Dream.
The generated documentation has an external dependency on a template called DocToc. The purpose of this template is to allow simple Table of content customization using DekiScript and to make it easy to include custom css for documentation pages. The generated documentation HTML uses minimal markup along with classes to provide the greatest customization flexibility. The version of DocToc we use on developer.mindtouch.com simply looks like this:
<table style="background-color:#F9F9F9; border:1px solid #AAAAAA; font-size:95%; padding:5px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <div align="center"><strong>Table of Contents</strong></div> {{ page.toc }} </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
Shipping your documentation
mindtouch.doc allows to directly import the generated documentation or to save the generated output as a MindTouch archive (.mtarc) which you can provide to customers to import into their own MindTouch installs. This is a regular MindTouch archive, the same that you would use to package up other documentation, scripts and templates authored in MindTouch. It can be imported via the Desktop Adapter or mindtouch.import.exe.
Documentation generation tool details
Running mindtouch.doc.exe without any arguments produces the following help output:
MindTouch Documentation, Copyright (c) 2010 MindTouch Inc. USAGE: mindtouch.doc.exe [options] [assembly1 .. assemblyN] Options: (Options must be prefixed by a '-' or '/') General: ?|usage - display this message h|host <host> - MindTouch host (assumes standard API location) u|uri <api-uri> - specify the full uri to the API (instead of using <host>) I|importreltopath <path> - relative uri path for import importrelto <id> - relative page id for import (alternative to importreltopath) o|output - output path for generated documentation (will skip import) R|retries - Maximum number of retries on import/export item failures (default: 3) Authentication: (if no authentication is provided, the program will prompt for user and password interactively) A|authtoken <token> - authtoken to use for user authentication U|user <username> - username for authentication (requires password option P|password <password> - password for username authentcation

mindtouch.doc offers an easy way to take your documented .NET APIs and publish them with the power of MindTouch, no separate runtime or site required.

John Edwards showing a "consistent lack of integrity"? Nah, just can't be.
An angry Dennis Kucinich lashed out at John Edwards on Friday, saying his Democratic rival showed "a consistent lack of integrity" by suggesting fewer candidates should participate in presidential forums and then trying to explain his remark to reporters.
The Ohio congressman's comments came after Edwards and Hillary Rodham Clinton were overheard Thursday after an NAACP forum in Detroit discussing the possibility of limiting the number of participants in presidential forums. Edwards said Friday he wasn't in favor of barring anyone from future gatherings. Rather, he said he wanted to see them separated into two groups of four each, chosen randomly, to spur more serious discussion.
