Abstract Classes
It's confusing how method classes can be instantiated, trying to figure out where they should be placed within the main method file. To understand abstract classes is one thing, but to extend on them is something that can be very tricky to work with. For example:
public abstract class theem { public abstract class Power { private Hiker jim; public Digit(int vb, int yt) { jim = new Hiker(vb, yt); } }

I'm not sure exactly what it is you are trying to do here.
Subclassing abstracts that are nested are. . . a pain to say the least. I don't recommend doing it unless you need to. The problem is simply the scope.
Here's an example of that:
(I have no idea what these are doing, so I fudged my own compatible datatype for jim).PHP Code:
public class theem
public abstract class outer
public abstract class Power
public int[] jim;
public Power(int vb, int yt)
jim = new int[]{vb, yt};
class ConcretePower extends outer.Power
public ConcretePower(outer outer, int vb, int yt)
outer.super(vb, yt);
class ConcreteOuter extends outer
public static void main(String[] argv)
theem t = new theem();
outer obj = t.new ConcreteOuter();
outer.Power p = t.new ConcretePower(obj, 1, 4);
for (int i : p.jim)
You'll notice that the nested abstracts are scoped against an instance of object theem (which I promoted to a concrete class and went with the new outer).
Perhaps its better to simply acknowledge the awesomeness that is the interface first which will give a much better understanding of the usefulness of the abstract. Ultimately the purpose here is to create multiple inheritance, where an object of my ConcretePower is both an instance of ConcretePower as well as an instance of theem.outer.Power. Therefore I can operate on it with any method provided in either of the classes.
As for placement in a file, I don't understand the problem. Nothing says you need to nest abstracts. Nesting in Java is already IMO a pain to keep track of everything.

Thanks Mark and Fou-Lou;
I kind of get this abstract stuff I'm learning in Computer Science; in addition, sometimes I had to make sure I was using the right declaration types because I use a file with the main method and a file with a bunch of class methods to refer to.
I was thinking of taking this out of my snippet of code, as I do have an extension of a class in the main method or subclass file. Although it may change the function, I would have to try to actually include an implementation, since that this is notPHP Code:
class ConcreteOuter extends outer
abstract class ConcreteOuter extends outer.

That one is not supposed to be abstract, it is supposed to be concrete.
You cannot instantiate an abstract class, so in order to demonstrate the extends and nesting I needed to create the two concrete classes. That is very important in order to show the instantiation of the nested classes.
The simplest way to look at the abstract is a skeleton shell. It doesn't know anything other than the absolute basics of what it should be representing. If you have an animal for example ('scuse the example my biology classes are well over a decade behind me so terms are fleeting) you could track the Kingdom, but that's about it. You can then superclass that to another class which may be concrete or abstract which represents the phylum or class, and work down the chain of refinement until you get to the species (which is the bottom so now you need to actually use a concrete). You can implement as many concrete or abstract methods as you want down the chain. Most of these can be implemented to the top level abstract Animalia, so at minimum you'll be able to get the kingdom, phylum, class, uhhh, order? and ultimately down to species. This means you can typecast against the highest abstract (or interface)(perhaps not a great example since you could just as easily use properties):
Since you know you cannot instantiate an Animalia directly, whatever is provided in Animalia for the getAnimaliaPhylum guarantees that you can fetch the .getPhylum on the instance of Animalia a.PHP Code:
public abstract class Animalia
public String getKingdom()
return "Animalia";
public abstract Phylum getPhylum();
public abstract Order getOrder();
//. . .
//. . .
public Phylum getAnimaliaPhylum(Animalia a)
return a.getPhylum();
One of the best usages of the abstracts is to create the base container for multiple interfaces. Take as many interfaces as you want to implement (but not constantly rewrite) and drop them into an abstract. Refine as needed.

The Original Eveline Rivers Toy Run rolled through central Amarillo Sunday as part of the Annual Eveline Rivers Christmas Project.All day long, the event was set up out at the Rex Baxter building on the Tri-State Fair grounds. Riders, passengers and spectators of the show came out donating hundreds of toys and children's books to be given to less fortunate children in the Amarillo area for Christmas this year.Something even Eveline Rivers herself said is the gift that keeps on giving. "We have had stories come back, even from 10 to 15 years ago, a child who was on the project and things they say," said Rivers. "They said, 'I was in foster care at that time, your box, your gift was the only thing I had. I'm now old enough to have a child and the doll that you gave me is the doll that I have now given to her'."If you missed Sunday's Toy Run but would still like to donate, you can do that by visiting EvelineRiversProject.org.

Reviews for Pecan Butterscotch Cookies
Sort By :
I have mixed feelings about these cookies - they were quick to put together and satisfied the initial craving, but weren't really drop-dead delicious and the next day they just tasted crumbly and like 'package mix'. Don't think I would make them again.
OMG! These cookies just melt in your mouth!! Please try them!! For the butter portion---you must go by the markings on the butter stick.... Do not use just a measuring cup....... That might be why some of the ladies here didn't have too much luck. But I made a double batch when I made these.
I was excited to try these because I love butterscotch. Super easy to make the cookie dough - BUT, I was so disappointed with the end product. This recipe definitely needs something. It has a butterscotch taste, but I agree with the reviewer that said it was like having a mouthful of dry pancake mix. This recipe will be going in the trash.
I followed the recipe just as it stated and while the cookies were soft and chewy, they had no flavor and a bad after taste. Definitely a fail and I won't be making these again.
I truly wish I had read ALL of the reviews before I mixed a double batch of these cookies. I took one bite and felt like I had a mouthful of pancake mix. I'm truly glad I didn't waste my box of pumpkin spice instant pudding mix.

Last Christmas gift of the year!!
It a curio cabinet…..
Solid Walnut, glass shelves LED light to illuminate whatever it is that chicks like to put in cabinets like this!!!
Several coats of semi-gloss lacquer….sanded with 1500 grit after 24 hours….and a coat of fine oil applied to finish it off…
The feel of the finish is very rech and lustrous….you cannot take your hands off it!!!
I really enjoy "single board" projects…. This item was made with a single walnut board about 8 inches wide and 8 feet long. The reason this board "spoke to me" was its location within the log… It has just enough sapwood to create a rage of colors within the board. The fact that the case is illuminated will really help to show off the beauty of the wood in this piece.

Reload the page and try again.
Local Atmosphere:
I love Dallas, but it's personally a little snooty for my taste. I just love SMU too much to leave.
Off-Campus Housing:
I still live on-campus, so I do not have an opinion on this subject.
Now that SMU Basketball is a thing, SMU's spirit towards sports has skyrocketed. People barely make it through the first half of the football games because they're too drunk from Boulevarding (our version of tailgating). Volleyball games, track meets, golf, etc. aren't really all that popular on campus, either. They're there, but they don't have the full house attendance that Moody Magic does.
There's a handful of each race/ethnicity/religion and they band together via clubs (i.e. Muslim Student Association, Vietnamese Student Association) and rarely branch out from said organizations. The majority of my friends are white, with the exception of two Black friends. The Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites tend to keep to themselves. It's not a racism issue, it's just where students find their niche that they stay because it's comfortable and familiar.
I've yet to declare a major, so I'm not much help here.
Right now I'm just taking pre-reqs for potential majors and minors and other required courses to graduate.
Campus Strictness:
There are loopholes to every rule about substance abuse at SMU. Just don't be stupid about where you do it and you'll be fine. Be careful with fake IDs. A few peers got into big trouble with those.
First-years get the best financial aid packages. No one tells you that after your first year, your aid goes down significantly. One of my grants turned into a loan, tripling my loan amount from the previous year. There are scholarships if you apply for them, and the FA office tends to be understanding, but the advisers are not very helpful. You have to fight to get all the money you can, because SMU, although wealthy, tends to be stingy with her funds in this sense.
Campus Dining:
It's good for the first few weeks but then you kind of get over it. The quality of the food goes in waves, like it's really good one week then you're eating cereal and eggs for two weeks. It's always great when there are campus tours because Umph puts on great food to impress the parents. There's a wide variety of things to choose from and there's a salad bar and dessert station and Starbucks coffee available. As a whole, on-campus dining is very good.
Campus Housing:
The dorms are aesthetically appealing inside and out. You become close friends with people who live on your floor and the dorms always make for a fun time. I love living on campus.
If you want to go out, there's something to do every night of the week, and most people get tipsy off champagne at Sunday Brunch. Fraternities throw the majority of the parties, and lots of people have little get-togethers at off-campus apartments. LOVE the night life at SMU. It's spectacular.
Greek Life:
I personally am not Greek, but several of my friends are and they absolutely love it. Both sides have pros and cons, so be sure to make an informed decision before you decide to rush (which is not a fun process for anyone--it is emotionally scarring for most). Fall semester is more non-Greek friendly because the parties are open as the active members are trying to recruit freshmen; spring semester is primarily mixers and formals that are dedicated to exclusively Greek members. If you can be Greek, do it. I wish I could but I don't have $2k+ a year to spend on it. Just know that people won't treat you differently if you're not Greek. They'll maybe make a comment that sounds like they pity you, but they'll treat you all the same. If you do happen to find people who judge you by your Greek affiliation (so, "Top Tier" chapter members) then they're not worth your time. SMU is trying to reform how dominant Greek life is, and it's gone down significantly just in the last ten or so years. Over time, it'll die down, but as for now it is still what makes up the majority of the student body.
Off-Campus Dining:
If you have a car, Dallas is your off-campus dining option. If not, there's tex-mex, cafes, fried food, pizza, burgers, and countless other options within decent walking distance--even Chick fil A and sushi!
Local Atmosphere:
Highland/University Park is a very attractive, safe, and wealthy area. There are many shops, bars, etc. within walking distance. Getting around Dallas without a car, however, is difficult; public transit can be a pain to navigate.
I received a full merit-based undergraduate scholarship.
Health & Safety:
Despite recent sexual assaults on and off campus, SMU is one of the safest places in the DFW Metroplex.
During football season, Boulevarding attendance is considerably higher than game attendance. Basketball games this past year were packed. Other sports do not see much attendance.
Overall Experience:
My undergraduate experience at SMU was wonderful. The classes for my majors (ME and Physics) were stimulating, there was plenty of individual attention, the research opportunities are unparalleled for undergraduates, and on-campus housing was great.
Campus Dining:
Excellent quality and options in Umphrey Lee, but meal plans are very expensive.

While some SMU students will gladly tell you that this school was their first choice, there are plenty of others that will admit that they're not sure how they got here. For several, SMU was a last-minute decision that turned into a remarkable one. SMU offers individual schools and majors that are praised nationwide. Students are able to test several interests before choosing a particular major. While there are many other things to brag about, like the study abroad programs, the social scene is a key aspect of SMU. This school offers introverts an environment where they can become extroverts in a small community that fosters socializing. Among the community, students get the hookups for internships and jobs by networking with friends and alumni.
An exuberant school spirit in terms of athletics might be missing, but SMU pride in the sense of academic excellence and social atmosphere is highly evident. Students get irritated with parking and other little issues, but in the long run, most of them are satisfied with their level of education and their experience. The majority of students will tell you it has been the best four years of their lives and that they are glad to have stumbled upon such a rare treasure.

Lamis Zein
Lamis is the first Lebanese woman who has qualified to conduct demolitions of cluster submunitions. Formerly an English teacher, she found her new calling after the Israeli shelling in the summer of 2006 when four million cluster submunitions were dropped on South Lebanon. Today, hundreds of thousands of these remain unexploded, posing a threat to the people who live there, as well as rendering large tracts of land unsafe for use.
Lamis joined Norwegian People's Aid (NPA), an organization that is executing clearance of these unexploded submunitions. Her family's initial reaction was not very positive—they deemed the work too dangerous and not appropriate for a woman. Traditionally, this incredibly dangerous work has been undertaken by men. But Lamis persevered with her mission to work as a searcher, and is now a site supervisor, heading an all-female clearance team. Lamis is committed to clearing Lebanon of these dangerous weapons, and to making this land safe again for its people, including for her two young daughters.http://www.facebook.com/npamaplebanon

Excellent speech! Well done and keep it up
Last question! Does Lamis also have experience clearing landmines? Has she ever worked on land contaminated by both landmines and cluster munition remnants/unexploded submunitions?
Hi Mary.
I personnaly do not have experience clearing landmines. But there is still a lot of landmines in Lebanon from the civil war as well as Israeli occupation of South Lebanonon. Some of my colleagues in the NPA programme are actually trained to clear both cluster munitions and landmines as in some instances, the cluster munition strikes also contain landmines from the earlier times and we need to be able to have people who can deal with this mixed contamination.
How many unexploded submunitions has Lamis cleared? What is the most common type she clears and destroys?
Hi Mary.
The NPA female clearance team has cleared more than 500.000 square meters since we started to work in 2008, clearing more than 370 cluster submunitions. All together NPA teams cleared almost 5 million square meters of land, destroying more than 4000 cluster submunitions. The most common type of cluster munitions are M77, M42, M46 and M86, produced by US and Israal. You can see a photos of most commonly found CM in Lebanon also here http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.276012365778571.60745.195362340510241&type=1#!/photo.php?fbid=276012489111892&set=a.276012365778571.60745.195362340510241&type=3&theater
What did Lamis and her family do during the 2006 conflict with Israel?
Hi Mary.
I was in Tyre for the first 15 days of the attacks. After my mother's family lost 5 members during one of them, my family went to Saida, which is a city app. 40 kilometres north of Tyre.

The Denver Public Library has many resources for helping you learn about the history of a building. You may be trying to find out when it was built and what it cost, who lived there, what businesses were there, and what it looked like in the past. The best place to start is with the building itself. You may find a copy of the original building permit, blueprints or other clues that will help you get started. A neighbor may have early photographs of a building or the neighborhood or have information on previous owners. The next step is to research the documentary information at the Denver Public Library.
This tutorial has been designed to help you learn the sequence of steps involved in finding photographs or researching the history of buildings. After you have gone through the entire tutorial, you may want to use the table of contents to return to specific sections.

Vt prosecutor: Shooting of father, a veteran, justifiedBy Lisa Rathke
The Associated Press | May 08,2014AP Photo
Kryn Miner, an Army veteran, was shot and killed by a relative April 26 in Essex after threatening family members with a gun.BURLINGTON A teenagers fatal shooting of a troubled Army veteran father who threatened his family then tossed the child a loaded gun was legally justified, a Vermont prosecutor said Wednesday.
No charges will be filed against the child of Kryn Miner, 44, a veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, who was shot and killed inside the familys Essex Junction home last month.
Miner had threatened to kill his four children, physically assaulted his wife and threw a loaded handgun to the teen who came to her aid.
Do you want to play the gun game? Miner who served in the 82nd Airborne Division and was sniper qualified asked the teen, according to authorities. The teen said no, but fired six shots when Miner pulled another gun from a bag. Miner was hit five times.
The teenager reasonably believed the siblings and mother were all in imminent danger of being killed or suffering great bodily harm, Chittenden County States Attorney TJ Donovan said. Miner was armed, pointed the gun at his wife and child and acting with an extreme indifference to the value of human life, he said.
Miner had served tours of duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and Panama. He had been public about his struggle with PTSD, appearing on a Chicago TV station to talk about the Lone Survivor Foundation, which helps wounded veterans return to civilian life and offers retreats to service members diagnosed with combat-related PTSD.
Hours before he was killed, Miner, a fitness trainer who also worked as a military contractor, had begun acting erratically after attending a wedding with his wife and two of their children, Donovan said. He became verbally then physically abusive toward his wife, who in the past had been able to calm him, Donovan said.
It was his wifes scream that prompted the teen to go to the parents bedroom, where the final altercation happened.
Miner had three daughters and a son, ages 7 to 18. Authorities are not releasing the name or age of the child who fired the fatal shots.
We want to protect the privacy of the young person and what we dont want to do is have this young person have to publicly answer for this act for the rest of their lives, Donovan said.
The Associated Press is not publishing the names of the children.
Miner had pointed a gun at his wife and children and threatened to shoot them in another incident more than a year ago, but it was never reported to law enforcement, Donovan said.
Miner served more than 25 years in the armed forces, including multiple tours, most recently in Afghanistan in 2010 with the Vermont National Guard. He retired recently due to health issues, his family said, but never forgot about his fellow comrades.
Kryn was a wonderful and loving husband, as well as a fantastic and dedicated father to his four children, his family said in a statement, also thanking the local community and police.
He had been dealing with severe mental health issues that were the result of his long and dedicated service in the military, said the family, who had moved from New York to Vermont last year.
Although Kryn had been under the care of professionals for these injuries, the fight did not end when he left the war. In a way it was just beginning, the family said.
An online fundraising campaign for the family had more than doubled its $10,000 goal as of Wednesday.MORE IN Vermont NewsAs the children of former U.S. Sen.

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - It's a new effort aimed at making Toledo a more peaceful city.
Toledo Mayor Mike Bell's Coalition of Hope has been formed and Tuesday night members from various community, religious and education groups will be going door to door in the Old West End and North Toledo.
"To communicate, coordinate and educate about what type of programs are out there to help kids stay out of trouble," said Deputy Mayor Shirley Green. "It's a group of community-minded individuals from religious organizations, community groups, people working in school, people working at the grass roots level to help our young people stay out of the gang life and stay away from violence."
Besides getting feedback for developing long-term strategies, the coalition also aims to spread a sense of empowerment.
"Trying to get people to take back ownership of their community, get to know who's your neighbor, know the resources in your community to help you become sustainable," said coalition member Keith Jordan with JLJ Vision Outreach. "We have to restore hope in our communities. So many times when we have these troubling situations somebody has to let them believe again."

On my homepage you see the tagline 'Storytelling through the forged blade'. I thought I'd take a second to explain what I mean by that. I believe that a forged blade can tell a story in multiple ways. The most obvious is the story that it tells about itself and it's intended purpose. For example.. a skinning knife. Elements of it's story are the facts of itself.. a thin, sharp, lasting edge that is comfortable to hold and has the right edge geometry to do it's job. Then the story evolves as...read more

Ubuntu Hardy - mod_rails Installation
Phusion's Passenger (mod_rails) is an exciting development in serving your Ruby on Rails application with the Apache web server.
Simple to install and use, you can have a Rails application up and running quickly. You don't have to worry about ports or setting up a proxy to another server.
This article assumes that you have the following items already installed:
- Apache (see Ubuntu Hardy - Apache and PHP install)
- Ruby and RubyGems (see Ubuntu Hardy - Ruby on Rails)
Install mod_rails
Passenger (mod_rails) is a RubyGem.
First, you have to update the RubyGems installation, as follows:
sudo gem update
Then, install Passenger:
sudo gem install passenger
After Passenger is installed, install the Passenger Apache2 module:
sudo passenger-install-apache2-module
A dialog box opens in the terminal and starts with the following information:
Press Enter/Return. The following information appears:
The installer has found a missing dependency, the Apache headers.
Press Enter/Return. The installer provides instructions for installing the headers:
The installation completes with instructions telling you to add some lines to the main Apache 2 configuration file.
Run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Note: Passenger is an active gem and is being updated all the time. Instead of copying and pasting the following output, copy and paste the output from the installation itself.
At the time of the most recent update to this article, Passenger v4.0.33 was the current version. So, for the v4.0.33 installation, add the following lines to the apache2.conf file:
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/passenger-4.0.33/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/passenger-4.0.33
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby
Restart Apache
The last step is to restart Apache, as follows:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
That's all you need to do to install mod_rails on your Cloud Server. The next article Ubuntu Hardy - using mod_rails to serve your application, describes how to create a Ruby on Rails application and serve it using Passenger.

Poor Katarzyna. Not only did our sweet-but-dull Polish princess get the boot in Italy, she did so without Tyra ever pronouncing her name correctly. This week's episode was just ho-hum to me. First of all, the title is goofy — Spartans were Greeks, not Romans. (Somewhere, Tyra's former history teacher is quietly weeping.) I'd also hoped for a little more campy fun — and by that, I mean more Dominique — but at least the photo shoot was "high fashion." Were you taking mental notes last night? If so, take the quiz.

Courtney Jaye Radio
Born in Pittsburgh, PA, singer/songwriter Courtney Jaye moved to Atlanta during her formative high school years and began writing songs after a friend's untimely death. She traveled extensively after graduation, spending her days working as an acupuncturist in Flagstaff, AZ, and playing in a band at night. She then found herself on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, where she developed an affinity for the region's fluid rhythms and laid-back atmosphere. It wasn't until Jaye returned to the mainland and temporarily settled in Georgia that the music she absorbed in Hawaii began to influence her songwriting, however. Athens provided the young artist with her first love and a vibrant, influential music scene. She then relocated once more -- this time to Austin, TX -- where she and her partner went their separate ways, thus leaving Jaye with a bottomless well of emotions to write about.
Courtney was signed on the spot after a mutual friend managed to set up an audition with several A&R executives at Island Def Jam Music Group. She made her major label debut with 2005's Traveling Light, and several of her songs found their way onto TV programs like [RoviLink="VW"]Laguna Beach and [RoviLink="VW"]One Tree Hill. Her partnership with Island proved to be short-lived, however, and she spent the rest of the decade issuing independent albums like 2007's Who'll Stop the Rain. The Exotic Sounds of Courtney Jaye, her most accomplished album to date, followed in 2010, featuring a duet with Band of Horses frontman Ben Bridwell, mixing by Guster's Joe Pisapia, and a combination of Laurel Canyon folk and tropical pop. Meanwhile, Jaye kept herself busy by collaborating with artists like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, whose 2010 release featured her vocals on one track. ~ James Christopher Monger

Beautiful villa
We recently stayed at Kahana Nui with a group of 4 families with small children. The booking and check-in process was very smooth. The house was very clean and well-stocked when we arrived. This is a gorgeous villa--beautiful carved wood furniture and doors, 4 out of 6 bedrooms look out upon the ocean, two large lanais with comfortable seating. The pool and hot tub were great (very clean) and the beach was just steps away. There are pool and sand toys, beach shoes, beach towels provided which was great. The beach just in front of the house is a bit rocky but if you walk a short distance around a bend there is softer, sandier beach. Perfect for kids. I'm only giving 4 stars because some of the appliances in the villa need to be upgraded or fixed. While we were there the oven broke and intermittently the range would not light. The washing machine would get stuck sometimes mid-cycle. The dishwasher was falling out of its mounting under the counter. and the BBQ, though it worked, has to be lit by hand and blows out easily in the wind. However, the owner was very responsive to our calls; she sent a repairman out to fix the oven which got it going for our stay, and even offered to buy us take-out food to make up for it. She assured me she was going to be looking into the other appliance issues after we left. Assuming these things are fixed, we would definitely stay at Kahana Nui again--it's a beautiful home in a gorgeous, peaceful setting.

We're all about to pay more to fill up our tanks in North Carolina, even though the national average for gas is going down.
The NC Dept. of Revenue is rolling out a new gas tax increase beginning July 1st.
It's a small hike, less than a penny, but over time it makes a difference. The tax applies to all purchases of gas including diesel and alternative fuels through the end of the year.
Meanwhile, drivers are seeing some relief at the pumps across the country in time for the summer driving season.
AAA is reporting gas is down a penny since Friday and four cents in the past week.
The current national average is now $3.58 a gallon. Drivers are paying the most for fuel in Hawaii at $4.33 a gallon. Gas is the cheapest in South Carolina where drivers can fill-up for $3.26 a gallon.

Getting hair loss treatments can be disheartening and exhausting but a select few are . How nicely they help with your issue will be contingent on the kind of hair loss you've got and if they can be complemented by suitable supporting products and nutritional supplements.
You'll discover various treatments for hair loss that all will attest to being the most powerful but there are just three treatments which have been approved by the FDA. It follows they have experienced extensive clinical and scientific testing to be able to demonstrate not only their security but also their effectiveness in treating baldness.
This is known to be the single most powerful treatment for male hair loss and its success has been consistently shown. These results were recorded in studies of guys:
All guys lost hair by the ending of the 5-year study
Throughout the 5-year study, the difference between the 2 groups improved.
Most guys must use Propecia for at least six months before seeing effects that are observable but some guys will see results in as few as three months of beginning treatment.
Propecia is best when taken after the warning signs for male pattern hair loss appear. The longest managed clinical trial of a baldness treatment in a five year study, in fact, guys and then changed to Propecia one year later never caught up to the guys who took Propecia for the total 5 years.
Because male pattern baldness is a continuous state, if you stop taking Propecia, you'll probably lose any hair you've gained during treatment because it enables the state to continue to advance. Male pattern baldness is caused by a genetic susceptibility toward dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which, in genetically predisposed hair follicles, causes them to shrink. This in turn results in thinning hair – the first warning signal – and if left untreated, can cause baldness as the hair follicle finally becomes dormant.
For optimum results, it's suggested that Propecia is joined with one or more of the treatments that were proven, and it is also significant that a specialist monitors any use of prescription treatment.

From DEET to Sweet
Congratulations are in order.
Chemical ecologist Walter Leal, professor and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, has just been selected a Fellow of the Entomological Society of America, a prestigious honor granted to only 10 or few members of the 6000-member organization each year.
Leal is internationally known for his pioneering and innovative work on insect communication.
"This is a highly prestigious honor and richly deserved," said Michael Parrella, professor and chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and one of 10 other UC Davis entomologists named ESA Fellows since 1947.
May Berenbaum, professor and head of the Department of Entomology, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, one of the scientists who supported his nomination, praised him as a "trail blazer" and lauded his leadership.
Leal and his lab discovered the secret mode of DEET, the insect repellent. For some 50 years, scientists figured it worked by either jamming the insect's senses or masking the smell of the host. Not so. In groundbreaking research, the Leal lab showed that mosquitoes can indeed smell DEET, but they avoid it because they don't like the smell.
In other words, it smells bad. That's why they avoid it.
The groundbreaking research, published Aug. 18, 2008 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is among the most widely downloaded and cited PNAS documents.
Leal's pheromone work has graced the cover of several journals, including Structure, and has been showcased in the popular press, including the BBC, New York Times, and National Public Radio.
Leal has identified and synthesized complex pheromones from such insects as scarab beetles, true bugs, longhorn beetles, moths, and the naval orangeworm.
Entomologist Bruce Hammock, UC Davis distinguished professor of entomology, said Leal's research has "practical implications in explaining how insects communicate within species, how they detect host and non-host plants, and how insect parasites detect their prey."
Leal's navel orangeworm work alone is certain to result in a multi-million dollar beneficial impact on crops ranging from almonds to citrus, Hammock said. Leal's research on mosquito behavior is crucial to controlling vectorborne diseases like West Nile virus and malaria.
World-class research.
World-class researcher.
And now, an honor to match.
Walter Leal
DEET Plays a Role
When UC Davis chemical ecologist Walter Leal received a major award from the Entomological Society of America at its 56th annual meeting, held in Reno, DEET has something to do with it.
Leal, who received the Recognition Award in Insect Physiology, Biochemistry and Toxicology from ESA president Michael Gray, has amassed an amazing record of productivity. Most recently: his lab discovered the mode of action for the mosquito repellent, DEET.
Contrary to previous hypotheses, DEET doesn't jam a mosquto's sense of smell or mask the smell of the host. The reason why mosquitoes avoid DEET is they don't like the smell and avoid it.
Leal, professor of entomology and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, was one of seven professionals receiving distinguished awards at the ESA meeting. The other categories were extension, entomology, horticultural entomology, teaching, the certification program, and early career innovation.
A pioneer in the field of insect olfaction, Leal is best known for his research on the mode of action of odorant–binding proteins and odorant-degrading enzymes on the identification and synthesis of insect sex pheromones and on insect chemical communication.
As colleague Ring Cardé, chair of the Department of Entomology at UC Riverside, said: "Dr. Leal is one of the leading scientists worldwide studying the chemistry of pheromone communication in insects and related arthropods."

Of the four major grunge bands, AIC usually gets the least amount of play, wich is a disgrace. Nirvana is seriously overrated, and AIC's range can't be matched by Soundgarden. When looking at Pearl Jam, its hard to find a weakness, but Alice In Chains is right next to them as the greatest band of the 90's. Jar of Flies is my personal favorite album by AIC, although most would agrue "Dirt" is better. But what I love about this is that a hard rock, sometimes even borderline metal band completely stripped down their sound to produce a nearly all acoustic set of 7 songs that is simply amazing. The only knock against this cd, or technically EP, is that it is too short. When "Swing on This" ends I always find myself hungry for more, but the beauty of it is that I can listen to it again right then and there and not grow tired of it whatsoever. Although many have already done so, i'll break down each song:
1. Rotton Apple- A great way to start the cd. A pretty slow tempo here gives Layne an opportunity to shine as the listener is naturally drawn to his vocal delivery. Quite a long song but keeps your attention all the way through. 9.5/10
2. Nutshell- A popular pick as the favorite AIC song of many fans. This is a very emotional track with a rambling guitar riff. Beautiful piece of music. Everyone can relate to these lyrics in one way or another. 10/10
3. I Stay Away- My personal favorite, I am absolutely in love with this guitar work. It really reminds me of something Jimmy Page would write, and it doesn't get much better than that. My favorite part is when Layne delivers the title "I stay away" in a controlled roar and the violins follow. Amazing song. 11/10
4. No Excuses- The most recognizable track on the cd. The drums are awesome in this song, especially in the intro when they break in alone, allowing you to fully get the effect of its originality. A simple but great song. 10/10
5. Whale and Wasp- Instrumental. The title really does seem to fit this music, as the moaning electric guitar truely resembles the sounds of a whale, with beatiful acoustic work in the background that picks up along with violins once the electric subsides. I wish this song was a little longer and the acoustic riff was explored a bit more, but Don't Follow somewhat does that. 10/10
6. Don't Follow- Yet again a simply fantastic song. This guitar almost seems like a continuation of Whale and Wasps acoustic section. Probably the best lyrics on the album. the harmonica also fits in here perfectly. 10/10
7. Swing On this- The awesome bassline drives this song, which works really well with the harmonized vocals. The most different of all the songs on the album, but still works well with the flow of the music. Bass driven songs are always cool to listen to for a change of pace. 9.5/10

I have a project with one configuration (using Asha SDK). I want to create a new configuration that uses the Nokia SDK 2.0.
I open my Application Descriptor using the Nokia IDE v2. In Overview > Runtime, I clicked Device SDK Selector. "Nokia SDK 2.0" appears in the list, but it can't be selected. Only a button called "Install" is clickable. Right, so I clicked on "Install", I wait for the installation to finish, restart the eclipse and... nothing happens. I still can't select "Nokia SDK 2.0" and the "Install" button is still there.
Someone can use the "Nokia SDK 2.0" after install the Asha SDK?
I tried to install both SDKs, but there were issues (the "Device SDK Selector" doesn't show the "Asha SDK" in the list)...

Evansville is looking to become a world record holder.
The stage is set for Evansville to become the record holder for most ever guitar players ever assembled at one time playing a single tune.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the current record is 6,346 in Wroclaw, Rynek, Poland. That happened May 1, 2009.
Organizers realize that is one big band of musicians, but they feel Evansville will come through.
The event's organizer and owner of Lamasco Bar & Grill, Amy Word, has gotten a committee together on Facebook.
The word is getting out, for the most part, through social media circles.
You can find the Facebook page here.
