outside dining
- girloftheworld Jun 15, 2013 05:45 PM
how often do you eat outside at home? do you have an outdoor entertaining area?
re: westsidegal
Me too, I always am on edge when dining outside - either the weather or the bugs
re: fldhkybnva
See I se all these beautiful houses and these shows where they set the tables outside and all I can think is bugggggggs.
we have a lovely back yard and i eat breakfast out there a lot and we entertain there a alto but dad always has a guy come spray two hours before the party and then it is like a count down hoping it lasts.....
re: girloftheworld
I seem to be a magnet for mosquitos especially. They attack me and everyone else walks away unscathed wondering why I keep complaining about bugs :)
re: fldhkybnva
bugs, AND
somehow, the food temperature of meals taken/served outside is never right.
hot food quickly gets too.
cold food quickly gets warm.
I'm an apartment dweller, so my outdoor dining space is covered by the balcony upstairs (rather helpful if a light rain pops up). It is, quite frankly, one of the happiest places on earth as far as I am concerned. I love dining or having a drink surrounded by my little container garden.
re: Wahooty
saw a special on English gardens and how some of them were on tiny flat balconies.... it was magical
re: girloftheworld
Yep, gardening on balconies is fairly common here. I've seen TV mentions of ones exclusively used for food production.
almost never.............
My mom was the promoter of cook out, eat in. No bugs, and air conditioning.
That said, we have an outdoor kitchen and dining area off our main kitchen, and a second concrete area with grill, table and chairs within our swimming pool fence. our kids and their friends will eat outside.Wife and I will serve drinks, fruit, apps outside and around the pool.
That said, we do host a couple of yearlybbqs/parties where the guests are served outside, but I tend to do my actual eating in the house.
re: bagelman01
We have a similar setup in our new place here except no fence around the pool. We will serve snacks outside but most adults are more comfortable eating inside. The kids will eat anywhere.
re: mucho gordo
"we have an outdoor kitchen and dining area off our main kitchen"
Ohh how nice.. does it include grills and range top?
so many people have beautiful "outdoor living rooms here and necer use them..
re: girloftheworld
don't know about Mucho's setup, but our outdoor kitchen, has both gas and charcoal grills, a 4 burner range top, a gas oven, a brick pizza oven, 2 Thermador warming drawers, under counter fridge, freezer and icemaker.
That said, Yes I live in New England, but I grill outdoors all year round, even in the snow.l We have 4 dogs who eat fresh meat off the grill and don't like it cooked inside on the stove or in the oven.
Tonight, we had pizza for supper and I grilled boneless turkey thighs for the dogs all made outdoors. No heating up the house and driving up the air conditioning costs.
re: bagelman01
Ours isn't that elaborate. Does your outdoor kitchen have some sort of overhang or enclosure to keep it dry and somewhat warm?
re: mucho gordo
No overhang. Local zoning officials won't let us have an overhang over 'live' cooking UNLESS we install vent hoods and fans-ridiculous.
re: bagelman01
That seems odd. If there were walls, there'd be an overhang or roof and, yes, venting would be required. However, since there are no walls, smoke and whatever can't accumulate. An overhang shouldn't be a problem for that reason. You're an attorney; file suit and get the law changed or amended. So, how do you keep everything dry and warm, especially in winter?
re: mucho gordo
Zoning is arbitrary and a bastion of local power. The only sucessful suits involve claims of discrimination. Zoning laws don't have to make sense.
When we had a condo (villa) in Boynton Beach there was a slider off the kitchen to a concrete pad for a bbq grill. The slider and back of the garage wall made an ell and the other two sides of the pad were open to the lawn. After one year wqe got a cease and desist letter from Palm Beach County (this was actually an unincorporated area at the time). Seems that two walls equal a "room" and zoning doesn't permit using a bbq in a room.
I don't keep everything dry and warm, I stand out there in rain, ice and snow, grilling.
re: bagelman01
You give new meaning to the phrase "grillin' and chillin' ". The elements can't be that good for the equipment.
re: mucho gordo
We do turn off the refrigearator, ice maker and freezer November 1 and drain the lines. I have stainless steel cover that bolt on to cover and protect them from the winter elements. It's not an issue with the grills and warming draweres and the cooktop has a sheet metal cover which is always closed when not in use. Already in use 7 years and no repairs needed.
re: Paprikaboy
you need a Texas chiminea
re: PotatoHouse
We stole the name for them from Hawai'i. Lanai. And some have complete cooking facilities, not just a grill.
re: PotatoHouse
I've seen those. They must be expensive to install, though, even though real estate is relatively cheap in FL. I do think a big screen like that would look weird here in New England and probably the neighbors would protest, so I guess I'll just risk West Nile, EEE, Lyme disease, babesiosis, and whatever new bug-borne illness crops up this year.
I love to eat al fresco! We have a large grape arbor on one side of the house and we have a table and chairs set up underneath it. Great for lunches on hot summer days as the arbor provides shade.
We also have a table set up on the lawn for evening dining. One of my favorite places to dine! Once we even had a young hummingbird visit us at the table. If you look closely you can see a blurry orange bird next to the flowers
re: foodieX2
I wish we could... SO bought the house new and all they gave him for a backyard is a concrete stoop with a couple steps down to the ground and dirt :) He has filled the dirt in with rocks (blech). The yard is also at a slope so having a flat patio would take some effort. We would like to build a deck but the cost of what we'd want is about $10,000. We also have a good size front porch where I have a bench and plants and want to add a small table so we can at least sit out there with drinks, but the view there is just of the neighborhood. The view from the backyard is of the Rocky Mountains :)
re: juliejulez
with the right neighboorss this could be entertaining,,,
mountain view in the back oooooohhhh
As much as we can from June to September. We have a screened in porch so bugs and rain are not an issue. The limits are Chicago's short season for all fresco dining (and that the porch gets filthy over the winter so it's not available until it gets cleaned which is a grimy job).
Yep, we have an outside dining area in one corner of the garden. It catches the evening sun.
Sun, eh? That's a laugh. I think we ate down there twice last year and not at all yet this year.
re: jrvedivici
- See that is what what I want it sound so effortless.. just pop into the back yard... no waiting for it it get fogged and staying in the permeter like you are in a movie set...
I am thinking that responses to this question may have quite a bit to do with geography. I grew up in northern VA, and we used our deck often, mostly because my parents were thrifty and sometimes it was quite a bit cooler on the deck than in the house during parts of the year when one doesn't want to put on the A/C just because it gets steamy in the afternoon. But in July and August? Not likely - we enjoyed the view from indoors. Now I live in mid-Michigan, so my deck is usable from (in a good year) April through September. "Deck weather" or "patio weather" definitely have different definitions based on locale, as do the corresponding seasons.
I spent my cocktail hour out on the deck in direct sun today, and it was glorious. The bugs don't hit until the sun goes down, and that happens blessedly late in the Mitten. ;)
re: Wahooty
It's definitely geographic. When my family lived in Northern CA, we ate outside all the time because we really didn't have a problem with mosquitos, and the yellow jackets weren't around until September. But here in MA, as soon as it's slightly warm, we have mosquitoes, and they are vicious and huge, so we have to be quick about it when we eat out.
For lunch, a lot. Dinner - not so much. My husband and I like to sit outside and have drinks in the evening. We have a patio and a screen porch, but tend to use the patio more.
As often as I can (both at restaurants and at home). We have a fabulous backyard with a large 12 person table that we on weekends when we have people over.
During the week we have a very large front porch where we eat all the time and wave to the neighbors as they walk by with their dogs. I live in a turn of the century mid-west neighborhood where front porches are everywhere.
re: cleobeach
The fans probably help with bugs. Just a little breeze will keep mosquitoes away - it makes it difficult to land, and also disperses your scent so they have a hard time finding you.
re: mpjmph
we use the the sliced limes with cloves to keep flys away from the table it works pretty well,
When I lived in a house, I would walk out on my dock with a cup of coffee and fishing pole and watch the sunrise almost every morning. The snook and sea trout were an added bonus.
The dock had a 10X24 foot T for entertaining. We also had a 20X30 foot deck on the back of the house with supposed mosquito repellant plants.
And the above is why I did not return to Pittsburgh.
We love to eat Dinner outside when weather permits. Either on the Deck ( upstairs/ no bugs) or at our other place at the pond, listening to the birds and watching turtles making tracks... :-)
Happily our neighbor's property there changed hands for the better and annoying flies are a thing of the past. We can sit outside for hours.
this time of year, as much as possible. lunch, snacks, dinner. I'll grab my nook and my food and head out. put the umbrella up so I don't burn myself and I'm good to go.
I used to live in New England where you had to put on insect repellent if you wanted to eat outside. Now I live near San Diego and we have virtually no mosquitoes. I have my morning coffee on the front porch, afternoon coffee on the daybed in the backyard and dinner at the big table a few steps from the back door. (When friends come from the East Coast they have a hard time believing we can eat out without getting bit.)
I cook and eat outside as much as possible too. I put several years of design and work into my set up and I am very happy with it.
I have a covered outdoor kitchen with a wood fired pizza oven on one end, a large grill and separate burner, sink, fridge, storage and large concrete countertops. It connects to an outside living and dining room area with a fire pit. It is all off my indoor kitchen (glass doors)making it more user friendly to use both.
I also have a covered tiki bar (with extra seating) connected to the outdoor rooms via a garden and walkway. We like to use it in the dead heat of summer because it is very shady and has a big ceiling fan. I am going to screen it in soon too.
I love being outside:)
re: sedimental
"put several years of design and work into my set up and I am very happy with it."
if it is not too nosey can we see a picture it sounds beautiful
re: girloftheworld
Right now, the kitchen itself is filled with stuff from organizing space yesterday. I won't be able to clean it up until the end of the week. So....don't look at the mess! Lol
re: sedimental
it is beautiful..I would love to eat out there
re: sedimental
Sound's similar to what my "ideal" out door cooking and living area would be. I've had similar mental plans of doing something like that, but like so many things plans and execution are two separate things. If you don't mind me asking where to you live? How much use to you get out of it?
re: jrvedivici
I live in Washington state. It rains a lot here, so I designed the cover myself. I can use it when it pours....and I do!
I use it more when I have condiments in the fridge out there and cookware. You can't be running back and forth...oops...forgot the mayo.... Oops....need another spatula, etc. IMO on something like this, it is kinda "go big or go home" because there is no point in just using it as a grill if you really want a kitchen. Does that make sense?
re: sedimental
My Uncle was from Washington State, sadly the only trip I made out there was for his funeral. He lived in Snohomish(?) and he was a sports writer for one of the papers out there. It was some beautiful country when I did go to his funeral, beautiful part of this countries landscape.
You have a great outdoor dinning area, use it in good health!
2-3 times a week in the spring/summer/fall. We have a deck right off the house with a 4 person table. I live on the east side of LA, so evening weather is often perfect. We get a few mosquitos since we live near a lake, but not bad enough to be worth skipping the outdoors in the evening.
re: Savour
get a bat house... no bugs...
re: girloftheworld
We have one! Sadly, no bats. I think it's not high enough, but I don't see a lot of bats in our (suburban) neighborhood. The mosquitos really aren't bad at all- it's a 1 or 2 bite situation at most.
re: jeanmarieok
I won't go into what I have in the way of 'outdoor eating area(s) but your screened porch is something I've always loved and don't have.
A few relatives have one and I find it one of the most relaxing, quiet and comfortable aspects of their home.
We eat outdoors as often as possible. Unless it's raining, we're outdoors for just about every meal. We have a deck -- no outdoor kitchen or anything like that, but we do have a grill out there that gets used fairly often. (A couple of years ago we switched from gas to charcoal and never looked back.) Dining outdoors is SOOOOO pleasant, why would we NOT want to be out there?
As for insects -- we're not bothered to any great extent, and we can sit out until late into the evening. We have a pond on our property, about 150 feet from the house, and you'd think it'd bring all kinds of nasty critters, but the neighborhood bats seem to keep them in check. Bats are really our friends. We lost most of them a few years ago when we had our shutters removed to have the house painted, and disturbed their habitat. We did put up a bat house on a tree, but I'm not sure they've moved in. However, as the skies darken, we're happy to see them flying overhead again.
We also enjoy the free outdoor summer "concerts" performed by the birds, the bullfrogs, and coming soon, the cicadas. Ahhhh... life is good!
re: CindyJ
I am glad to hear your Bats are back!
We had a very large colony of small Bats living between aluminum siding and house wall at our small cottage in NE Pennsylvania.( And no, there was no way they could get through the walls or into the house) We used to sit outside next to the pond on warm Summer evenings and watch the Bats coming out at dusk. Unfortunately they all died a few years ago ( White-nose- syndrome killed most Bats in that Area) and we did not see a single one since then. We really miss them.
re: RUK
When the bats were living behind the shutters, I'd often hear scratching sounds signaling that they were returning "home" at dawn, because they were right outside my bedroom windows.
I had wondered if their disappearance had anything to do with that white-nose syndrome. These days, we don't see nearly as many bats as we used to, but their numbers do appear to be growing here in southeastern PA, and we're very happy about that.
re: CindyJ
That is truly good news!
So perhaps they are slowly coming back and hopefully they will spread on Northwards. :-)
re: CindyJ
My last office building had a "bat" problem, but no matter what I did to relieve it, they came back. The most common approach was to "smoke" out the attic, then from the outside see where they flew out of, then plug the hole. We did that at least a half dozen times but they kept finding new breaches to squeeze themselves into. Granted my old office was originally an old Church building, corner stone dated to 1869, so it was porous at best.
Our file's were kept in the attic and when you would go up there, the bat's would actually "hiss" at you, which was a sign you were violating their area. About once a year one would find their way into the 3 floor's below, including our conference room, always exciting.
re: CindyJ
Barn swallows are also excellent for keeping outdoor areas insect-free, and they come back year after year.
We love eating "Al fresco" and take every opportunity to enjoy as long as the weather permits.
Breakfast on the patio is my favorite.
Waterfront restaurants with outdoor dining rock our world!!
re: sedimental
fabulous! now that is good for the digestion!
re: sedimental
Now that's what I'm saying!!

Audit: Lax oversight in seafood marketing campaign
An audit has identified a host of weaknesses in a state board's oversight of a BP-funded seafood marketing campaign after the company's 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
A report released Monday by state Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera's office says the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board's former executive director approved transactions without adequate board oversight.
The audit also concluded that board's staff did not keep adequate records for the use of tickets and other merchandise associated with a $650,000 advertising agreement with the New Orleans Saints.
BP agreed to pay $30 million to fund the marketing program through the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Foundation.
Ewell Smith resigned as the board's executive director in August after lawmakers placed Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne in charge of overseeing the program.

MUD (multiple user dimensions) has been a popular interactive system on the Internet, but it suffers from the boring text messages. Multimedia messages have more impact and are more interesting, but they are hard to transmit on the Internet. We propose a strategy of building a multimedia MUD system. In this system, more media can be added to show the description of each room (a room is the basic unit of a MUD system). We also use some useful icons to replace keyboard typing. Due to the huge size of multimedia data, it is difficult to transmit it immediately when a user enters a new room. For a large number of rooms and growth of the MUD system, it is impossible to pre-store all the multimedia files of each room with each client. In our multimedia MUD system, the starting room's multimedia files are preloaded with the client to start a new game. A limited local cache room (LCR) is used to store multimedia files from a limited number of rooms with the client. Under good pre-fetching strategies and local storage management, the LCR of multimedia files will grow locally and satisfy the client's request. We call the MUD system: "progressive multimedia MUD (PM-MUD) system". The "next room prediction rule" proposed, combines a "priority prediction method" and a "dynamic prediction method" to pre-fetch multimedia files from contiguous rooms. The "maximum Hamming distance and the longest time unused delete strategy" are introduced to manage local storage. The simulation result shows the performance of the proposed PM-MUD system

NEW ORLEANS—HRI Properties, based here, will officially mark the launch of the LTV Building's $80-million conversion into downtown Dallas's first mixed-use hotel and residential complex.
According to the company, the complex—which was originally built in the mid-1960s—will include a 171-room Hilton Garden Inn Hotel as well as 186 luxury apartments. When the structure was first created, its facade created the world's largest electronic signboard. Thirty windows on each of the upper 25 floors were individually controlled and could be configured to shapes, letters and messages.
With construction expected to be completed by third quarter 2015, the hotel will also utilize 148 valet parking spaces in the basement of the LTV Building. Other hotel amenities will include a first-floor lobby with a restaurant/bar with outdoor seating, 2,000 sq. ft. of meeting space on the fifth floor and an outdoor pool deck and a fitness center. Guestrooms will include all Hilton Garden Inn brand standard features including 42-in. flat-panel TVs and in-room refrigerator. The apartment units will be located on floors 15 through 32 and feature condominium-level finishes, washer and dryer appliances and views of the Dallas skyline.

For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

[1] Ground-based and airborne volatile organic compound (VOC) measurements in Los Angeles, California, and Paris, France, during the Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change (CalNex) and Megacities: Emissions, Urban, Regional and Global Atmospheric Pollution and Climate Effects, and Integrated Tools for Assessment and Mitigation (MEGAPOLI) campaigns, respectively, are used to examine the spatial variability of the composition of anthropogenic VOC urban emissions and to evaluate regional emission inventories. Two independent methods that take into account the effect of chemistry were used to determine the emission ratios of anthropogenic VOCs (including anthropogenic isoprene and oxygenated VOCs) over carbon monoxide (CO) and acetylene. Emission ratios from both methods agree within ±20%, showing the reliability of our approach. Emission ratios for alkenes, alkanes, and benzene are fairly similar between Los Angeles and Paris, whereas the emission ratios for C7–C9 aromatics in Paris are higher than in Los Angeles and other French and European Union urban areas by a factor of 2–3. The results suggest that the emissions of gasoline-powered vehicles still dominate the hydrocarbon distribution in northern mid-latitude urban areas, which disagrees with emission inventories. However, regional characteristics like the gasoline composition could affect the composition of hydrocarbon emissions. The observed emission ratios show large discrepancies by a factor of 2–4 (alkanes and oxygenated VOC) with the ones derived from four reference emission databases. A bias in CO emissions was also evident for both megacities. Nevertheless, the difference between measurements and inventory in terms of the overall OH reactivity is, in general, lower than 40%, and the potential to form secondary organic aerosols (SOA) agrees within 30% when considering volatile organic emissions as the main SOA precursors.

Life-saving designs intended to keep vehicles safe can keep rescuers from getting inside.
"The way new cars are designed, they crush around the patient so we can't get them open. ... It saves your life, but now nothing works," said Lt. Gregory Vogel, a Pittsburgh fire training academy instructor.
Manufacturers have designed "crumple zones" in the front of vehicles to absorb the energy of a crash and have added reinforcement and padding to the door frames and pillars in case of side impact, said Henry Jasny, general counsel of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, nonprofit advocacy group based in Washington.
"The problem the firefighters may have is the door frames get bent out of shape so the doors don't open," Jasny said. "Most crashes occur at less than 35 mph, and if you can protect the door integrity and the structure of the frame, you won't have that problem with the doors."
The organization has been trying to get the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to require manufacturers to ensure that doors remained locked but can open from the inside after a collision at 35 mph or less, Jasny said.
"Every year, we have the possibility of something new we will have to address when new car models come out. It's a lot to keep on top of," said Chuck Nourigat, an engineer with the Washington Fire Department and a state fire instructor who has led classes in vehicle rescues.
Steel used in cars is stronger than other metals used in the past and requires the use of costly hydraulic cutters. And polymer Lexan windshields are difficult to smash and often reseal after they are cut, Nourigat said. For many fire departments, vehicle design changes require the purchase of new and expensive rescue equipment.
Some car designs can pose more risks for firefighters, said John Howell, chief at the High Park Volunteer Fire Department in Hempfield. Increasingly popular hybrid cars can operate with more than one source of electricity, he said.
Check out Boron Extrication for the latest posts in auto body designs.
"It used to be you just shut off the battery. With a hybrid, you have to do much more. And even with other cars — cell phones in cigarette lighters can keep a charges that backfeed into the car," said Howell, who has been chief for six years.
Pittsburgh firefighters are getting special training that teaches them how to crack open crushed vehicles.
One of the most important aspects of the training is looking for hazards. For example, an electric car in a pool of water could be a risk for electrocution. If a vehicle is on its roof or side, it needs to be stabilized before any rescue attempt. And if a crash should've caused an air bag to deploy and it hasn't, "it means it's going to," said Lt. Tom Pilch of Beechview Engine Co. 28. "That can be dangerous for everyone."
During a recent drill at the fire training academy on Washington Boulevard, firefighters practiced on vehicles from the impound lot destined to be scrapped.
They learned how to safely assess a scene. The training, paid for by a $960,000 grant from the Department of Homeland Security, should be finished by the end of next month.
The fire training academy drill is part of a national certification program that includes conducting basic vehicle rescues.
Once the city fire department completes the training, it will be the only metropolitan department in the country where all firefighters have a certification level that allows them to work a scene unsupervised, a standard set by the National Fire Protection Association, fire Chief Darryl Jones said.
"Everyone who leaves the academy will have that and be ready for whatever type of emergency the 21st-century throws at us," said Battalion Chief Michael Riley, who oversees the training academy.
The city's EMS crews handles vehicle rescues in Pittsburgh, but firefighters say training will make them better prepared to assist.
Last year, crews responded to 47 vehicle crashes with entrapment in the city, EMS Deputy Chief Mark Bocian said.
New Vehicle Designs Complicate Extrication Efforts
"The way new cars are designed, they crush around the patient so we can't get them open."
Life-saving designs intended to keep vehicles safe can keep rescuers from getting inside.

Americans Urged to Get Flu Vaccine
Daniel Weiss, Senior Editor
Published Online:
Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
Since 2010, the CDC has recommended that all Americans older than 6 months receive the annual influenza vaccine, but coverage rates have so far fallen short of goals.
Public health officials urged all Americans older than 6 months to receive the annual influenza vaccine at a press conference in Washington, DC, on September 27, 2012. The officials emphasized that getting vaccinated is particularly important for groups including young children, pregnant women, those older than 65 years, health care providers, and those with underlying conditions such as asthma and diabetes.
Since 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that everyone older than 6 months receive the influenza vaccine, but so far the goals of 80% coverage for those aged 6 months to 65 years and 90% coverage for those older than 65 years have not been met. During the 2011-2012 flu season, the overall vaccination rate was approximately 42%. The vaccination rate was 74.6% for those aged 6 months to 23 months, up more than 6 points from the 2010-2011 season. Vaccination rates were lower for older children, hitting just 34% for those aged 13 to 17 years, were even lower for those aged 18 to 49 years (28.6%), but were higher for those aged 50 to 64 years (42.7%) and those older than 65 years (64.9%).
Coverage for pregnant women was 47%, about the same as the previous season, but higher than before then 2009-2010 swine flu pandemic, when coverage was under 30%. Laura Riley, MD, director of obstetrics and gynecology infectious disease at Massachusetts General Hospital, emphasized the importance of vaccination for pregnant women during the press conference. "Influenza is 5 times more likely to cause severe illness in pregnant women than women who are not pregnant," she said. "Research shows [the influenza vaccine] can decrease the baby's risk of getting the flu for up to 6 months after birth."
Vaccination of health care personnel is seen as important in limiting the spread of flu to patients as well as in setting an example for others. The overall vaccination rate for health care workers was approximately 67% in the 2011-2012 season, up slightly from the previous season, with the highest coverage rates among physicians (approximately 86%). Among work settings, hospital health care workers had the highest coverage rate, while workers other than doctors and nurses in long-term care facilities had the lowest coverage rates (just 50%).
The officials at the press conference noted that 85 million doses of influenza vaccine had been distributed as of September 14, 2012, and a total of 135 million doses are projected to be made available in a variety of venues, including doctors' offices, public health clinics, pharmacies, and retail stores. Pharmacist Mitchel Rothholz, RPh, MBA, chief strategy officer of the American Pharmacists Association, noted that all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico now allow pharmacists to give the influenza vaccine, and 20 million doses were administered by pharmacists last year. "Pharmacists and pharmacies are playing a greater role within the immunization neighborhood in making vaccines and vaccine information more accessible to all community residents," he said.
The officials noted that influenza season is an excellent time to administer the pneumococcal vaccine as well. Pneumococcal disease can be a complication of the flu, although it can occur at any time during the year. Everyone older than 65 years is recommended to get the pneumococcal vaccine once, and it is also recommended for those aged 18 to 65 years who smoke or who have diabetes, asthma, or heart, lung, or liver problems. Currently, there are approximately 73 million American adults who should receive the pneumococcal vaccine but have not.

NIKON DSLR 3100 Video File
Likes # 0
Posted November 23, 2011 at 8:22PM
I have a Nikon DSLR 3100 camera that takes HD and stnd video, the problem is that the file is MOV and the software supplied can play it but it can't burn it to DVD. I tried converting the file but Pinnacle Plus 9 doesn't recognise the file either as MOV or the converted file. I like Pinnical because i can add text and voice over or music. I know Qicktime can play it but any advice about how I could get Pinnacle to accept the file, I know it is an old version and I have been able to burn an un edited video to disc on a limited time download from SNCH.Any ideas?

Thank you OLDAL1, it took some time finding it. As I said I am useing a disc burning program on a limited time but it is a long haul. First to import to the disc burning program and burn video to disc then play on my DVD/Video player to my PC hard drive then import to Pinnacle; then I can edit and burn the DVD i want, long way round. I will give your suggested option atry because the other one will expire eventually.
Thanks again

I think you can burn it with Nero. It burns almost all files easily. You don't need to convert video to any other format to burn it to DVD. But one thing, you may need Stellar phoenix video recovery software if your video gets corrupted or lost.

Since gummies are processed foods, they've been engineered
to taste, smell and look as delicious as they do. And they're packed with
preservatives to make 'em last for awhile on grocery store shelves. But the
most ew-wrothy item of notice? Their ingredients.
Vegans and vegetarians might object to the gelatin that
makes them so, well, gummy. Gelatin is made from animal bones and cartilage—not
the best option, probably, if you're staying away from animal products. And
that artificial shine? Yeah, it comes from carnauba wax, which is derived from
the leaves of palm trees. It's also the same wax we use to shine cars, floors
and surf boards. Still with us? The cheery reds and yellows in your handful of
gummies comes from petroleum. Some of the food colorings used in our fruit
snacks are even banned outside the U.S.
Still love your fruit snacks but don't want to eat the
ingredients in them? No worries! Look for all-natural or organic alternatives
to fruit snacks. Also, you can try other quick and easy snacks such as fresh

Iris scoops StartUp Britain integrated brief
StartUp Britain, the national campaign to support entrepreneurs, has appointed Iris as its first integrated agency.
StartUp Britain: Iris will create campaign for pop-up initiative
Iris, which was awarded the business without a pitch, will be responsible for the new PopUp Britain initiative, which enables entrepreneurs to rent a space within a pop-up store at discount rates.
The agency will create a brand identity including a logo, as well as a nationwide marketing campaign for next month's launch, which aims to help ten stores open by Christmas and 50 by mid-2013.
Iris will also be responsible for National StartUp Day on 14 November, which will be a celebration of start-ups across the UK.
Last year, the Marketing Agencies Association chairman and Iris chief executive, Ian Millner, supported StartUp Britain by pledging the services of four of its member agencies for a year to new business owners who took part in a Dragons' Den-style pitch. The winner, Safetray, worked with Iris.
Emma Jones, a founding member of StartUp Britain, said: "We decided to take on a creative agency because marketing is a key part of any business. Iris' credentials make them the ideal choice."Follow @SaraKimberley

Edwards committed to Wasps
ESPNscrum Staff
May 20, 2011
Shaun Edwards insists he will not be leaving Wasps for a role with Wigan Warriors © Getty Images
Wasps head coach Shaun Edwards has reiterated his commitment to the Aviva Premiership club after denying reports that he is on the brink of a return to rugby league.
Edwards, who recently signed a new two-year contract with the club, has been linked with a return to rugby league side Wigan Warriors where he made 467 appearances for the club. But the Wasps coach has dismissed the speculation and insisted he is committed to turning round the fortunes of the Premiership side following a disappointing season in which they finished ninth in the table this season and were knocked out of the Heineken Cup at the group stages.
"I am fully committed to Wasps and I am more determined than ever to get us back into play-off contention next season," Edwards said. "With the signings we have made we feel we have strengthened in the right positions and next season will be a fresh start."
Reports suggested that Edwards, 44, was ready to end his association with Wasps and Wales, where he is assistant coach to Warren Gatland, with Phil Greening replacing him as head coach at the Premiership club and Dean Ryan coming in as the new director of rugby.
Wasps' poor showing domestically and in Europe cost Tony Hanks his position of director of rugby earlier in the season but the club confirmed in a statement that no decision has yet been taken concerning the vacant position.
Edwards had already confirmed that he would see out his contract with Wales which lasts until the end of the Rugby World Cup in October.

10:30 P.M. Summer is a 1966 American drama film directed by Jules Dassin, husband of star Melina Mercouri. It is based on the novel Ten-Thirty on a Summer Night by Marguerite Duras.
16 Years of Alcohol is a 2003 drama film written and directed by Richard Jobson, based on his 1987 novel. The film is Jobson's first directorial effort, following a career as a television presenter on BSkyB and VH-1, and as the vocalist for the 1970s punk rock band The Skids. The cover of the DVD describes it as influenced by A Clockwork Orange and Trainspotting. The soundtrack features 1960s ska and skinhead reggae acts such as Desmond Dekker and Claudette and the Corporation, and 1970s rock bands such as Roxy Music, Velvet Underground, Iggy & The Stooges and The Skids. At the 2003 British Independent Film Awards, the film was nominated for best independent film, and Susan Lynch won the best supporting actor/actress category.
